WORLD IN BRIEF

Canada-US reach deal to stay in
trade pact with Mexico
WASHINGTON — Canada is back in a revamped North
American free trade deal with the United States and Mexico after
weeks of bitter, high-pressure negotiations.
In a joint statement, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Ligh-
thizer and Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland
said the late Sunday agreement “will strengthen the middle class,
and create good, well-paying jobs and new opportunities for the
nearly half billion people who call North America home.”
The new deal, reached just before the midnight deadline
imposed by the U.S., will be called the United States-Mexico-Can-
ada Agreement, or USMCA. It replaces the 24-year-old North
American Free Trade Agreement, of NAFTA, which President
Donald Trump had called a job-killing disaster.
The agreement gives U.S. farmers greater access to the Cana-
dian dairy market. But it keeps a NAFTA dispute-resolution pro-
cess that the U.S. wanted to jettison and offers Canada protection if
Trump goes ahead with plans to impose tariffs on cars, trucks and
auto parts imported into the United States.
Canada, the United States’ No. 2 trading partner, was left out
when the U.S. and Mexico reached an agreement last month to
revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement.
NAFTA tore down most trade barriers between the United
States, Canada and Mexico, leading to a surge in trade among
them. But Trump and other critics said it encouraged manufactur-
ers to move south of the border to take advantage of low Mexican
wages, costing American jobs.
2 Koreas begin removing DMZ
mines to ease military tensions
SEOUL, South Korea — North and South Korean troops
began removing some of the land mines planted at their heavily
fortified border today, Seoul officials said, in the first implementa-
tion of recent agreements aimed at easing their decades-long mil-
itary standoff.
The demining comes amid resumed diplomacy over North
Korea’s nuclear weapons program after weeks of stalemated nego-
tiations. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is to visit Pyong-
yang, North Korea’s capital, this month to try to set up a sec-
ond summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean
leader Kim Jong Un.
South Korean army engineers with demining equipment were
deployed to the border village of Panmunjom and another frontline
area called “Arrow Head Hill,” where the Koreas plan their first
joint searches for soldiers killed during the 1950-53 Korean War.
The troops began removing mines on the southern part of the
two sites. Later today, the South Korean military detected North
Korean soldiers engaged in what it believed was demining on the
northern part of the sites.
The official refused to provide more details. North Korea’s
state media didn’t immediately confirm its reported demining.
At Arrow Head Hill, where some of the fiercest battles occurred
during the Korean War, Seoul officials believe there are remains of
about 300 South Korean and U.N. forces, along with an unspeci-
fied number of Chinese and North Korean remains.
The Korean War left millions dead or missing, and South Korea
wants to expand joint excavations with North Korea for remains
at Demilitarized Zone areas. The Koreas remain split along the
155-mile-long DMZ that was originally created as a buffer zone at
the end of the Korean War. About 2 million mines are believed to
be scattered in and near the DMZ, which is also guarded by hun-
dreds of thousands of combat troops, barbed wire fences and tank
traps.

Quake survivors clamor to flee
hard-hit Indonesian city
PALU, Indonesia — As officials began burying hundreds of
dead in a mass grave today, thousands of survivors of a devastat-
ing earthquake and tsunami converged on the airport of this heav-
ily damaged Indonesian city and clamored to leave, saying there
was little to eat and their homes were unsafe.
The confirmed death toll of 844, mostly from the city of Palu,
is expected to rise as authorities reach areas that were cut off by
the disaster. The magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck at dusk Friday
and generated a tsunami said to have been as high as 20 feet in
places.
Search-and-rescue teams combed destroyed homes and build-
ings, including a collapsed eight-story hotel, for any trapped sur-
vivors, but they needed more heavy equipment to clear the rubble.
Many people were believed trapped under shattered houses in
Palu’s Balaroa neighborhood, where the earthquake caused the
ground to heave up and down violently.
In the city’s Petobo section, the quake caused loose, wet soil to
liquefy, creating a thick, heavy mud that caused massive damage.
Hundreds of victims are believed to be buried in mud.
Residents who found loved ones — alive and dead — over the
weekend expressed frustration that it took rescue teams until Mon-
day to reach Petobo.
It was the latest natural disaster to hit Indonesia, which is fre-
quently struck by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis
because of its location on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of volcanoes
and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.
In December 2004, a massive magnitude 9.1 earthquake off
Sumatra island in western Indonesia triggered a tsunami that
killed 230,000 people in a dozen countries. More recently, a pow-
erful quake on the island of Lombok killed 505 people in August.
Allison, Honjo win Nobel Prize
for cancer research
STOCKHOLM — Researchers from the United States and
Japan won the Nobel Prize in medicine today for discoveries that
help the body marshal its cellular troops to attack invading can-
cers. One cancer doctor said “an untold number of lives ... have
been saved by the science that they pioneered.”
James Allison of the University of Texas and Tasuku Honjo
of Kyoto University will share the $1.01 million prize for 2018.
Their parallel work concerned proteins that act as brakes on the
body’s immune system.
Their research, which has led to drugs that release the brakes
on the immune system, constitutes “a landmark in our fight against
cancer,” said the Nobel Assembly of Sweden’s Karolinska Insti-
tute, which selects the winners of the prestigious award.
The discoveries by Allison, 70, and Honjo, 76, “absolutely
paved the way for a new approach to cancer treatment,” said Dr.
Jedd Wolchok, chief of the melanoma and immunotherapeutics
service at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New
York.
He said the idea of releasing the brakes on immune system
cells has led to drugs for the skin cancer melanoma and for can-
cers of the lung, head and neck, bladder, kidney and liver. Just last
week, such a drug was approved for treatment of another kind of
skin cancer called squamous cell cancer, he said.
The approach to cancer treatment that was honored with this
year’s Nobel was used to treat former U.S. President Jimmy
Carter, who was diagnosed in 2015 with melanoma, which had
spread to his brain.
One of Carter’s treatments was a drug that blocked the immune-
cell “brake” studied by Honjo. Carter announced in 2016 that he
no longer needed treatment.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched
six ballistic missiles as well as drone bombers early today
toward eastern Syria, targeting militants it blamed for an
attack on a military parade last month while also threaten-
ing regional adversaries as Tehran’s nuclear deal with world
powers unravels.
The missiles had enough range to strike regional U.S.
military bases and targets inside both Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates.
Iran’s supreme leader has called out the two Arab nations
by name, accusing them of being behind the Sept. 22 attack
on the parade in the Iranian city of Ahvaz, something denied
by both Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.
Today’s strike was the second missile attack by Iran in a
month’s time, and came as tensions rise ahead of renewed
U.S. sanctions targeting Tehran’s oil industry that will take
effect in early November.
Iranian state TV and the state-run IRNA news agency
said the missiles “killed and wounded” militants in Syria,
without elaborating. The missiles, launched from western
Iran, flew over Iraq and landed near the city of Boukamal in
the far southeast of Syria, they reported.
The Guard, a paramilitary group that answers directly to
the supreme leader, said it followed the missiles with bomb-
ing runs by seven remotely piloted drones, a first for Iran.
State TV aired footage of a drone dropping what appeared to
be an unguided munition.
