tea with the queen dinner with the prime minister claims of fake news and huge protests donald trump's a visit to england for close next stop. and i mean this is out zero live from london the u.s. justice department announces charges against twelve russians for hacking offense is that during the two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign. a suicide bomber targets an election rally in southwest pakistan one hundred twenty people have been killed two hundred others wounded. and a former prime minister now wish raef is back in pakistan he's been arrested on charges.

we begin with the latest on the donald trump's visit to the united kingdom and friday has been his busiest day so far he held talks with the british prime minister to resume a two then held a news conference and took questions windsor castle was next he and first lady melania had tea with the queen on a busy day two for protesters tens of thousands came out in central london more on that in just a moment but first to jonah how in. state visit but the next best thing i suppose. yes a working visit nick it was billed as how's it gone well it's not over yet of course he's up in scotland for the weekend it certainly hasn't passed off without controversy but then again controversy was never going to be far from donald trump was it official insults denials as you said there fake news but then of course tea

with the queen here at windsor as well luckily that does seem to have passed without incident here's my report a day that ended for donald trump in the company of queen elizabeth the second had begun under a cloud of official british dismay at the u.s. president's comments in a newspaper interview for two countries that supposedly enjoy a special relationship this was no way to treat a friend donald trump a told the rightwing sun newspaper that the reason mays planned for leaving the european union was a bad one and that a trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. was off the table he also said to reserve may's nemesis boris johnson would make a great prime minister johnson resigned this week as foreign secretary overheard new breaks its strategy. and with that the pin was pulled on a diplomatic hand grenade looked like a deliberate attack on may's already fragile leadership and then

a massive about turn in face to face meetings to resume a we're told had a chance to explain her plans more fully to donald trump it must all have made sense once the bricks and process is concluded. and perhaps the u.k. has left the e.u. i don't know what they're going to do but whatever you do is ok with me that's your decision whatever you're going to do is ok with us just make sure we can trade together that's all that matters if to resume a was relieved she didn't show it will be no limit to the possibility of us doing trade deals around the rest of the world once we leave the european union on the basis of the agreement that was made here at checkers in that i put forward to the european union and off the trumps went to meet the queen. by the time they arrived here at windsor castle for tea with the queen it seemed a whole few rory had a visiting u.s. president had gone from issuing unprecedented insults to a british prime minister to having it all swept away in

a little over twelve hours mr trump simply dismissed an official on the record british newspaper interview as fake news. not the tea with the queen wasn't itself a potential protocol mind field. but the band played on in the event appears to have passed without incident a big fan of the british monarch this perhaps the highlight of trump's visit so far for the queen who's met a dozen u.s. presidents the occasion perhaps less unforgettable. so the trumps now all know way up to scotland landing shortly at glasgow's prestwick airport from there on to his very own golf course turnberry for what promises to be a rather quieter weekend maybe just maybe a round of golf or two he says he'll be preparing for his meeting on monday with vladimir putin in helsinki what could possibly go wrong there. joe thanks very

much indeed jennifer reporting there from windsor let's go to trafalgar square in central london where we can join and neve parker just tell us what's the latest on protests around you. while the heavens of just open we've just heard a rumble of thunder interpret it how you will as a good or a bad omen depending on how you view donald trump's visit here to the united kingdom this is very much the tail end of protests we did see vast crowds packed into the square a short time ago reaching maximum capacity according to london's met police and several british newspapers that have put attendance numbers as high as two hundred fifty thousand making it one of the biggest protests here in the capital in recent years similar scenes on a smaller scale in towns and cities across the country many people united in their slogans accusing donald trump of being a racist xenophobe of undermining longstanding diplomatic relations this is how the protests here in london unfolded earlier on of the day. dawn trumpet being told to

avoid the center of the british capital because of this vast crowds a so-called carnival of resistance marched against the world's most powerful leader their mascot a giant helium filled blimp of donald trump as a baby clutching a mobile phone. that. many demonstrators believe he has an infant grasp of politics they see him as a wrecking ball for brace. relations women's rights climate change and peace behind me here is a very serious message and that is. where holding trump to account where highlighting the fact that his toxic hate fuels politics and his policies that are having a devastating impact on people not just in the u.s. . but in the u.k. and all over the world especially in the global south. as

pregnant looms many also fear the british government will full go for it is values in the interest of u.s. trade deals. but if the american people about president trump right on this missile journey his contempt for democracy he's embracing to take it on these credibly those values and legitimize it no. i'm allowed i think that's the sound people yeah. here today because i am deeply concerned about the direction of the united states and i pose to trump's a racist. and i want him out of office i've joined protests in the states and i happened to be here today so i want to join and. show that he does not represent us really. this isn't the first controversial leaders of basic

cable is this the first protest but they've really hasn't been anything quite like this is very much a response to don't skew nique and all deeply divisive politics people here in the u.k. also questioning the health and the nature of the so-called special relationship between the u.s. and the u.k. people here wondering whether it's time to review that relationship now the donald trumps of the white house. feeble vocally than the mayor of london who sanctioned the monch the blame one of the things that americans love our city all the rights we have the right to protest the right to free speech the right to freedom of assembly and the idea that we would tell those rights because it may cause offense to president trump or somebody else i think americans would find objectionable why because their own constitution has been trying to the right to freedom of speech freedom to protest freedom to assembly. the president trumps a visit has been carefully choreographed to avoid his opponents choosing to fly

around southern england by helicopter rather than risk of road journey they like me a lot of the u.k. said before his visit these people beg to differ. in the. process the reaction why do you think this visit has as many belies such a strength of feeling. well as i said poor we have seen controversial visits to the u.k. before we've definitely seen protests here before but nothing on this kind of scale i think first and for you from the relevance when it comes to donald trump and his relationship with the united kingdom because of the special relationship the so-called special relationship u.s. and u.k. that goes back generations people on deeply worried about the kind of relationship the trump or have with the british government going to collate the pope's brix in a country that may well need economically the united states will than ever before but he's a leader who's shown himself to be able to be unpredictable and people here are

deeply worried about what kind of relationship is really in store whatever decision he makes of the white house going to set of a knock on effect on the bread and butter issues of ordinary people here in the united kingdom his message and his style of politics is also big brash and very loud it's traveled far it's the four corners of the globe and people here in this turnout all must be because they know that they need as many people as possible to counter his political boisterousness and the scale of his message and they've moved it to live in france numbers a set earlier two hundred fifty thousand people according to certain newspapers attended this rally here in the capital now of course the demonstrations moved north of the border to scotland where the protests will continue following trump over the course of his visit here to the u.k. by navy thanks very much indeed that's

a picture in central london north of the border to scotland and to go where we can find. that intel isef and it's in what's going to be happening there. well it's a fairly noisy rock concert now but while ago there were about fifteen hundred protesters here in the sense. i have a constant no thought for a question we cab or where i don't know truck a studio lot and pops off an hour or so he's already on his way to scotland. ahead of the demonstration there was a very scathing editorial in the scotsman used by quoting total chum a racist a lawyer a serial liar and either a sexual abuser or someone who falsely brags about being one in the apparent spoil leaf this will mean price other mean what i can tell you that there were many children and women here all determined to say that he's don't welcome they

also were not impressed with the british government's decision to welcome him to the u.k. now one of the speakers here the deputy leader of the scottish nationalist party said that the reason first minister nicolas sturgeon is not meeting donald trump is that he would she would tell him exactly what she thought of him she's never hidden her animosity towards him in the past and vice versa people here have been the highlights of every number of issues like the separation of children from their undocumented migrant parents at the u.s. border things like trumps and see migrant rhetoric he's out to towards climate change and so on i'm just a whole range of issues that have got people angry and he's also fairly unpopular in those parts of scotland where he owns golf courses just this week

a report said that one of them had partially destroyed a site of scientific special scientific interest so whole range of reasons why these protests are happening. all right now things like very much indeed nothing but we're reporting that from glasgow in this. not twelve russians accused of hacking democrats joining the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidents. the election have been charged as part of a special counsel robert miller's investigation into alleged collusion between the trump campaign and russia the indictments accuse the russians of hacking into the computer networks of the democratic national committee and the presidential campaign of hillary clinton as she ever tuns it has more now from washington d.c. ship tell us what more you know and what comes next. well what we know is that these military intelligence officers these alleged russian military intelligence officers used a variety of techniques that we've often heard about in the past spearfishing for example sending e-mails to campaign staffers encouraging them to click on links and

then enter the passwords and actually direct hacking inserting software into into computer systems and then monitoring the data that comes out of it they also interestingly hacked into allegedly hacked into the state election boards various state election boards around the u.s. and still information about five hundred thousand u.s. voters it has to be said they're serious as these allegations are we do know and we've reported on al jazeera many times before this is just what we expect governments to be doing and these are allegations by the way nothing proven but of course the u.s. has pioneered many of these techniques as it tries to influence elections around the world so the serious part is was there collusion that's that's the key part and the closest the attorney jeopardy attorney general and the d.o.j. have come is that someone who's in touch with the campaign was in touch with these alleged russian hackers however the early example that they cite suggests that the russian hackers the alleged russian hackers were terribly enthusiastic about a

a democratic party document it passed on what do you think of it they asked and the person responded pretty standard so it doesn't seem like there was there was an active collusion i think many in the u.s. and opponents are looking for a game against donald trump once again the deputy attorney general himself said there's no evidence that anyone in the trump campaign or any american who interacted with these these alleged russians knew they were interacting with russian secret services and what about the white house any reaction from the white house. well they jumped on that because they said the graphs what we've said all along i mean there was no knowing participation or collusion with any any russians and the deputy attorney general bears that out the deputy attorney general also said this is not a reflection of the effect this might have had on the effectiveness on the election beyond that now there is that call from various democrats saying look even though these are on proven allegations this has to affect the forthcoming summit in helsinki between donald trump and vladimir putin doll trouble was asked at checkers

in the u.k. at that press conference are you going to bring up these allegations and we now know that the deputy to attorney general had briefed him on these allegations before he left for europe and all trump said look i'll bring it up but i don't expect some perry mason moment putin will say all right you got me i did it but he did say he will bring up the allegations of election meddling democrats and others now in the u.s. saying this the whole summit should like should be called off unless this is the focus off that summit that seems terribly unlikely actually a date all right she had thanks very much indeed several times reporting there from washington d.c. . are you watching odds are a lot of that sort of program a fifteen year old protester becomes the latest victim of ongoing violence along the israel girls. and zimbabwe's opposition criticizes early postal voting in the election saying police officers were not given a secret ballot. hello

there the rain is continuing to fall across eastern parts of europe particularly in the northeast thanks to this larry of low pressure here now it's not necessarily bad news because some places here are reporting a drought including up here where we've had below average rainfall during may and june so we do need this rain but it is making things rather gray a little bit miserable as well so plenty more wet weather here as we head through the day on saturday for sunday to mean well for the western parts of europe far more sunshine here and the insight feeling quite warm london up to thirty degrees by sunday much in the temperature that we're expecting in paris there is the risk of one or two thunderstorms there particularly over the alps and if you catch one you know about is pretty heavy a maybe with some hail and thunder to now across the other side of the mediterranean largely fine unsettled for us here you see the winds working down

from the north so not too hot across the north coast of egypt but for the west it's a lot warmer than it might be chuen is there up at thirty seven degrees a very warm day for us and the temperatures are climbing force now does as well thirty three degrees on sunday for the central belt of africa lots of showers here as you'd expect all rattling their way towards the west you can see from the dark colors we're expecting some particularly heavy ones and quite a cluster of them around the coast of nigeria. and the ship where corruption is endemic now embroiled in a battle to hold the power. how is this radical transformation. i mean. i mean if you look shedding light on the romanians pressing for change and the unconventional methods to eliminate corruption remain

people. on i'll just say. hello again are my top stories here or not and u.s. president donald trump. arrive in scotland any minute now for the next part of his working trip to the united kingdom protesters have already converged to show their opposition to trump policies. trump and first lady had tea with britain's we brits and when it wasn't for state visit he was given a roll salute and he didn't expect to go out on a. twelve russian hackers have been indicted as part of the ongoing probe into

prominent politician mr kerry roger right sonnie who is also the younger brother of the former chief minister of the well just on province mr a slum or a shawnee the steward taking place at a time when progress on are due to hold its general elections on the twenty fifth of july earlier in the week another prominent leader of the awami national party harun below or was also targeted at a corner meeting in the studio for a show of their situation and focused on it indeed critical and all this is happening at a time when a teatime former prime minister of pakistan mr nawaz sharif had returned to the city of lahore where did order to give a rare studio towards the national icon debility go ahead a registered aim from the aircraft and thrown him straight to islamabad from where he had like need to be sent into danger and along with his daughter mr sharif had

the role of the police and army jaring elections in zimbabwe has always been controversial offices who will be working on polling day vote early here they are queuing to cast their votes five years ago opposition parties are concerned that this time postal voting is being done inside police stations and fear some officers will be intimidated into voting for the rulings on a party they might do to physios. in sync with that in that seemed to manipulate. so we could cause from this early is mainly in the morning or physios we screen we're isn't. about what they're seeing here as we try to make them do. a spokesman from the independent electoral commission initially told state media no voting was taking place later a senior police officer confirmed some of them are that confusion helps explain why some opposition leaders doubt the credibility of election organizers the police say

the opposition allegations are not true therefore due process is being done in a very security minute there is no officer that has been told to fourteen different another officer has observed rubbish that's absolute nonsense. when we we have what literate police officers for information. you cannot call it what he started to say come and sit in front of me we don't have to like that voting day at the end of the month will be the first without the post president robert mugabe the electoral commission says four thousand police officers have applied to vote by post commission insist no officer will be forced to use the system and if they want to go to polling stations they are free to do so some

in the coming few days weeks or months because her family are still here in china relatives and of course they would be very vulnerable if lu shar was to talk and to make criticisms of china's government i understand that one of the conditions of her release was that she not give interviews but that hasn't been confirmed and as if to demonstrate that there are still voices of dissent here in china we have reports of a twenty nine year old woman who is being held here in beijing for going online and showing pictures of herself defacing a portrayed a picture of president xi jinping now these pictures have been widely circulated on twitter although not on china's equivalent of twitter way bro and we're also seeing in the past few days a number of copycat artists emerging it is a reminder that what she did is something that lou szabo would have supported
