Our correspondent to Will Grant is in the Mexican capital and began by telling us how it's being received there I think we need to split the response between the Mexican government and the Mexican people in the Mexican government a welcoming it I think the idea of these negotiations dragging on any further was very unappealing to the government of President and his men were Lopez Obrador he felt that it was going on for long enough and he wanted to sort of get into new issues a new relationship in terms of trade with the United States and with Canada however when it comes to mix can people particularly those who use industries perhaps rely mostly on parts coming from the United States finished products going back up north you know they are watching and waiting I know it's a cliche but it's very very true I mean they just have very little sense of exactly what this will mean for them they're told that it's essentially NAFTA in new clothing but they still don't know and they won't know until next year exactly what it will mean on a day to day level for their family incomes for their job security and so I remember Donald Trump describing NAFTA as the worst trade deal the u.s. Ever done this is now the best one apparently what are the changes here well I think one of the key changes is in terms of the protection of workers' rights and ironically enough from a Mexican perspective that will potentially make it less competitive than some of its neighbors to the least in the short term because of see the low wages that make so on can offer kind of there are quite an attractive option for many multinational companies but I think the president and his men were not as overt or as a left of center leader had his own reservations about NAFTA very different to Donald Trump but nonetheless you know also perhaps wanted to see many parts of the NAFTA deal redrawn and I think will be satisfied that there is going to have both President Trump and the Democrats are claiming credit for this deal how significant is it politically in the u.s. I think we're going to hear a lot about it in 2020 which is of course an election. North of the border from where I am certainly Donald Trump is going to play very very hard I think on the concept that this was something he set out he would do in his 2016 presidential election campaign and has achieved it in his 1st term and you know that's going to bring him a lot of satisfaction even if the Democrats are going to be saying quite the opposite that ultimately the only thing that was beneficial in this new deal with the provisions that they added to it that as Nancy Pelosi put it it was infinitely better the one that they achieved today than the one that was proposed by the trumpet ministration will grant in Mexico when the World Trade organization was founded nearly 25 years ago it was established as an international body to regulate trade between nations one of its functions is to adjudicate in trade disputes and it does this through an apple 8 body of judges this is ground to a halt because the u.s. Has blocked the appointment of new judges a minimum of 3 needed and today there is just one in place w.t.f. Director General Roberto as of a day told the b.b.c. This was a big blow but said work to fix this apple late body was going to start immediately and this conversation will probably require significant changes in the dispute settlement mechanism changing considerably what we have today into something different that accommodates the concerns of the u.s. And that everybody else can live with and I think there is open mindedness in Geneva about that but it's a tough conversation Jennifer Hilman is a professor of practice at the Georgetown Law Center was also recently one of 7 judges on the applet body she explains what options are now available to the w.t. Members in settling disputes there's no question that right now as of today the appellate body is effectively dead and the question is what comes next that I think it is too early to tell how dramatic an effect this. It's going to be my own sense is it's going to affect the detail in 3 ways One is what our country's going to do now and the question is are they going to choose various other work around mechanisms like using arbitration instead of a formal appeal process or they could agree in packs that we just won't appeal any decisions will simply live with whatever the panel has come out with if countries go down that road that are less desirable but nonetheless work arounds then I don't think there will be as dramatic an effect but countries may choose instead to go ahead and file a notice of appeal which will have the effect of blocking the adoption of a power report and blocking the outcome of a given dispute and if that happens countries may that very well then take matters into their own hands and start retaliating and then the other side retaliate gets against the retaliation and you start into a little mini tit for tat trade war over every single dispute it's not clear yet which of those roads countries are going to choose to go down Professor Jennifer Hellman officials in New Zealand say volcanic tremors have increased on the white's island and there's a 40 to 60 percent chance of further eruptions in the next 24 hours it means further delays to the recovery of the victims of Monday's fatal eruption the director of civil defense and emergency management Sarah Stuart Black said while this was a priority it would be easy we all agree that retrieving bodies of the deceased from the island isn't it Salut imperative. Every day that passes with those bodies recovered is a day of anguish for the loved ones who have been affected we recognize this and we're doing everything we can however. The preservation of human life and the prevention of fear their human home must be taken into account 6 people are confirmed dead 8 others are missing presumed dead and their families a said to be desperate to get them back but the deputy police commissioner John Timms said the recovery effort had to be balanced with the ongoing risk place or perhaps it would be committed to removing the bodies from the oil and for family and friends we have sought advice on the current environment requirements of those going to the oil and the Kiran transport patient of bodies from from when they are recovered the environment on the on has changed. Increased activity since early this morning 25 of the 30 injured people meanwhile are in a critical condition the prime minister just send Arjun said the focus was ensuring they got the optimum treatment at the burns units to which they've been admitted they absolutely focus on at the moment is ensuring that we have a very clear for those who are injured as a result of the eruption so. Those individuals say Have thing placed across hospitals in New Zealand to ensure that we're making the use of the expertise. In injury said I have said are in units around d.c. And New Zealand's prime minister just and Neil has some other stories from our news desk officials in Jersey City across the river from New York City 6 people have been killed and 3 wounded in a shootout that moved from a sandwich route to a kosher grocery store and lasted several hours the dead include a police detective and 2 suspected gunmen along with 3 customers up the shop Jersey City's police chief Michael Kelly said he didn't think there was a terrorist motive that's part of the investigation I can tell you we have no evidence that pointing in that direction at this time but that's certainly on the table Somali police say they've ended an Islamist attack on a hotel in the capital Mogadishu killing all far you've got men 2 members of the security forces and 3 civilians were also killed during the fighting at this Somali youth league hotel. The White House says that President Trump has warned Moscow not to interfere in next year's presidential election during a meeting behind closed doors with the Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov was to Trump tweeted that election meddling featured on the agenda of what he called a very good meeting but out of news conference Mr Lavrov denied that elections had been discussed at all for this next I said we've come to one of the most famous restaurants in London if not the world it is the b.b.c. Canteen in this nuclear bunker like room with shelves laden down with delicious temptations this is the setup for the next story because the Royal Society for public health is now calling for exercise information to replace the calories the nutritional content on food and drink packaging In other words the food that we see here should tell us how much exercise you need to do to burn it off with me is our reporter Ed Horton Ed let me pick something at random a Mars Bar how much exercise would I need to do to burn that off. Contains about $229.00 calories that would take you 42 minutes to burn off or if you're running at 6 miles an hour that's about 9 and of kilometers an hour it would take you 22 minutes to run it off that's about 3 and a half kilometers Ok let's throw here past the cakes and the flapjacks to the cans of soft drink has a famous want to read can you know what it is how much running would I need to do to burn off a can of coke without a count of the Early on a regular can of sweet fizzy drink contains about $250.00 calories that's 50 minutes running or about 7 half kilometers of walking so on and off so what do the research is saying about this well Amanda daily is a professor of behavioral medicine at left for university and she did the research what we want to try and do is kind of alert public to the end if you. Like action a. Do I really want to but throughout the topic is the topic really were there and when you've given the information and that why the then. Maybe the from going out to the left. So that's the research I'm on the daily Ed come with me down to the hot food area or I've seen you here before how about a hamburger and chips look after this program at 2 30 in the morning I'll probably get one and our normal regular size cheeseburger with chips comes in about $695.00 calories m I want some ketchup on that and a regular sashay is about 10 calories so you're talking about almost 700 calories and that would take me an ounce 40 minutes cycling to burn it off if I was running 66 minutes and it was keeping my house over 4 hours so this is this information isn't there at the moment do you think people named this will these people in Manchester seem to think is a good idea you can tell them you need to work for half an hour to get rid of. Said to me I had a little girl about 9 months ago she is now and I'm trying to lose weight said Be nice to know like what everything equals up to you and I've known you for a long time so I feel I can ask you this let's imagine it's well after the program how about a wind down glass of wine while exciting your 250 mil comic that's going to last glass of wine that contains $214.00 calories which would take you about 35 minutes to walk it off or once again about 20 minutes to run itself and you are the keeper of the devil's larder and with that we will walk back toward studio s l one it's about 200 meters which by my calculation is about 2 peanuts worth something about it Horton with the facts and figures and he will be pleased to hear I will be cycling home to get my glass of wine after the program is coming up to 520 g.m.t. . I'm going to approach my breakfast with caution Good morning this is where we bid farewell to our world service colleagues for another night and set radio falls wheels on course for another day navigating through the highlights of the final hours of the election campaign it's not all politics though we're off to one of the U.K.'s biggest insect farms before 6 o'clock and later begin a new series of thought provoking talks boys I knew robbed and carried knives frightened vulnerable musical witty sporty talented young boys personal tales and powerful stories our lives are shaped by these unexpected encounters and happenstances some good some bad a new series of thought provoking talks beginning with the writer Louise doubting I'm a great believer in characters in novels having jobs I think they should eat breakfast and that occasionally their shoes should rub forthought on b.b.c.
