12:02 am
a day that ended for donald trump in the company of queen elizabeth the second had begun under a cloud of 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 told the rightwing sun newspaper that the reason may's plan 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 reason 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
12:03 am
sense once the bracks that 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 the reason may 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've 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 passed 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
12:04 am
a potential protocol mind field. but the band played on and 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 join a whole al-jazeera windsor or tens of thousands of people took to the streets in london to protest against france policies police at one point said trafalgar square had reached capacity. spent the day with protesters. dall 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. oh many demonstrators
12:05 am
believe he has an infant grasp of politics they see him as a wrecking ball for race relations women's rights climate change and peace behind me here is a very serious message and that is you know when we're holding trump to account where highlighting the fact that his toxic hate fuels politics and his policies that having a devastating impact on people not just in the u.s. and in the u.k. and all over the world especially in the global south. as breaks it looms many also fear the british government will forego british values in the interest of u.s. trade deals. the american people about president trump right on this missile journey his contempt for democracy he's embracing to take on these incredibly those values and legitimize it no. i'm
12:06 am
allowed i think that's he found people yeah. here today because i'm 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'm joined protests in the states and i happened to be here today so i want to join and so 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
12:07 am
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 here 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 in 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. well from london the u.s. president has moved up to glasgow where he touched down an hour or so ago for the final leg of his u.k.
12:08 am
visit trouble spend the next two days in scotland up there he has no official engagements and expects to spend time playing golf but his arrival still sparked protests and large demonstrations are planned on saturday the barber was among crowds in plaster. will this demonstration in gaza go started even before the us president landed in scotland up press recap or not far away from here and in friday morning in fact the scotsman newspaper published a searing editorial calling the us president a racist a serial liar and either a sexual abuser or someone who falsely brags about being one and those are things which a lot of the crowd here would agree with they've also highlighted his anti migrant rhetoric and something that's got a lot of them very angry is the recent policy of separating migrant children from their parents on the us mexico border i am from the states originally. so just this this is been
12:09 am
a really big one that's really kind of broken me in recent days they take it take. the children and chelsea maybe just feel safe really just as a point you kick up and she just said we don't need to stand with you on any of your policies you're not you're not welcome in this country you know you know democratic and we believe climate change is happening and we need to do what together those raising it from a state visit to a known state as it was no enough simply a symbolic gesture no one saturday there's a very big demonstration planned in the scottish capital edinburgh a carnival of resistance all sorts of groups gathering to register their protest against the u.s. president but he won't be anywhere near that we're expecting him to be playing golf and he's turned very private resort some protesters might head they've been denied permission to fly the baby blimp the balloon of the president has a baby above the skies near the gulf coast but it could still put an appearance
12:10 am
somewhere else. well let's take this on for more on this we're joined by a political analyst and author jay's boys who joins us here in the studio james welcome to the program first of all how does this work then so donald trump denies criticizing british prime minister three's may after blatantly criticizing her and just seems to just brush it off it's quite remarkable isn't it anybody who read the sun newspaper this morning will have been left in no doubt whatsoever about what donald trump thought in yet what some twelve hours later on at a press conference at checkers he completely reverse is that and says very very warm words not only about the special relationship theresa may who apparently he's come to know respect and admire in the twelve or forty eight hours that they have managed to spend together so it really is quite remarkable and i think gives rise to one of the great problems here is what on earth do you believe when it comes to donald trump what he says on one day or not any other particular day because there appears to be a complete disconnect between what he says day in and day out or between that interview and the press conference presumably there's quite
12:11 am
a lot of work for the british delegation from the prime minister itself trying to convince trump that he was wrong or not only from the british delegation from but from the american delegation who were were also trying to walk this back to be sanders the white house press secretary was very very strong in her assertion on a what the president meant to say was x. y. is there but of course ultimately it is the president who we have to listen to not to his press secretary and so it becomes very very troubling when again you're trying to negotiate with this individual any appears to completely contradict himself on any particular day what's your overall assessment of the visit as a whole as we say there was an awful lot packed into them as a lot happened during that time first of all from british perspective than the u.s. but well i guess the best we can say about it from the british perspective is he's been and he's gone and the world hasn't stopped turning effectively this was something that was on the cards for eighteen months may was very very quick to go to the white house quite rightly so to to cement
12:12 am
a special relationship but i. i think that there was a sense that perhaps things have been overcooked a little bit now this has gone through not a state visit but a very grand visit it must be said and i think that the best the british can say is well it's been it's gone and now we can move on quite frankly from the american perspective it's given donald trump a lot of optics and some great imagery which i think he can take home but the overall take home from this i think is very very little there's no deals in place there's no agreements it been struck and some very contradictory messages coming out from the american delegation right one of the options he won't like to show at home of course who would like to be seen at home with the protests and we saw a mass of people in trafalgar square but also some pictures up now of a greenpeace protester fly a motorized hang glider above his golf course in scotland. getting through this kind of carefully choreographed security that the police had laid on the wrist going around wondering what to do with this guy but demonstrates the strength the feeling here in this country for those who don't support the i
12:13 am
think it will have surprised president trump the scale of the protests of course he's got a track record of disputing crowds sizes so we shouldn't be surprised to see that may be downplayed by the white house but certainly it looks like the met was saying anything up to a quarter million people might well have been on the streets of london tonight in protest against the foreign leaders visit which is probably unprecedented in in modern history i would suspect it is no doubt that what this white house and downing street have done is put together a very careful yukari graphed visit delivering the president only around the capital in the home counties on marine one again that's something that hasn't happened before we've seen the president transported around in an armored motorcade but the idea that he's been kept physically off the streets and away from the protesters is something which i think speaks to the volumes of people who've been looking to protest i'm a strip in the origins believe that thanks very much if you perspective english free shipping. now twelve russian hackers have been indicted as part of the ongoing
12:14 am
probe into potential collusion between the trump campaign and russia during the two thousand and sixteen presidential elections it is what comes just days before donald trump is to meet vladimir putin in finland she returns he reports now from washington d.c. sean intelligence officers hacked into the clinton presidential campaign and disseminated stolen information into the goal of the conspirators was to have an impact on the election in addition to the public addresses alleges state election boards were hacked and the details of five hundred thousand voters stolen among those subsequently in touch with what the d.o.j. says was an online persona created by the russians to help spread the information was someone in touch with the trump campaign that person according to the indictment didn't seem very impressed with the information provided and there's no evidence of the person knew they were speaking to alleged russian spies there's no allegation in this indictment that any american citizen committed a crime there's no allegation that the conspiracy changed the phone count or
12:15 am
affected any election result. that was seized upon by the trumpet ministration would release a statement that said today's charges include no allegations of knowing involvement by anyone on the campaign and new allegations that the alleged hacking affected the election result this is consistent with what we have been saying all along earlier in the day donald trump it said he would ask about the allegations and i don't think you'll have any gee i did it i did it you got me there will be a perry mason here i don't think but you never know what happens right but i will absolutely firmly ask the question and the allegations are allegations possibly never to be proven the accused russians are highly unlikely to appear before a u.s. grand jury to defend themselves over some democrats say the summit should possibly be called off there should be no one on one meeting between this president and mr putin there needs to be other americans in the room secondly the president and his team are not willing to make the facts of this indictment
12:16 am
a top priority of the meeting and how sinky and the summit should be cancelled but deputy attorney general suggested these indictments were to come as a surprise to all from as he took tea with the queen roadracing stein's that briefed the president earlier this week before his trip to europe she had her chance the al-jazeera washington. you're watching the auxerre news hour live from london much more still to come on the program including zimbabwe's opposition criticizes early postal voting saying police officers were not given a secret ballot. reopening the investigation into the she and it killed a fourteen year old she went to muse death based on them. and the dejected belgium to end the world cup on the hina details coming to the school. tension to say we're ahead of pakistan's national elections on july the twenty

12:18 am
where these people come from in the middle of the violence the former pakistani prime minister flew first class to law or where federal police were waiting to take him and his daughter mari him to a prison in roll pending an anti corruption court convicted the sharifs on july seventh stealing money from the treasury to pay for a luxury lifestyle corruption first revealed in the release of the panama papers now us to read has said he will appeal his conviction and ten year prison term sharif has been banned from politics for life the judiciary is set on rooting out corruption in pakistani politics but neither fact may mean anything to pakistanis who want their government to work for them and are dying to make that happen. in jordan al jazeera. the international monetary fund says that haiti should eliminate fuel subsidies but do so gradually to avoid the kind of unrest which broke out earlier this week they have been for days and finally purchased often government
12:19 am
announced it would double the price of gasoline diesel and kerosene because it's a part of a broader agreement to secure direct assistance from i.m.f. nations let's play to across one and carol is on to joins us from the haitian capital of port au prince. there were those worry of prices flaring up again have they done so. there really was where especially after those really violent protests that we saw last weekend there were some of the worst this country's seen in years the opposition was talking about having protests today we're watching it very closely still it's about five pm here local time in the capital port au prince so far everything has been pretty call no. major protests but i can tell you there's sort of a tense call if you will that's going to have a lot of people very worried about what could happen in the next twenty four to forty eight hours and have good reason to be worried of course based on those
12:20 am
scenes we saw from last weekend it's been pretty calm throughout the week for the most part but we saw in many cases like today for example a lot of people leaving work early to get home a lot of been some businesses allowing their employees to go home earlier the streets have been much quieter than they normally would be people just pretty much hanging keeping a low profile until they get a sense of where this political crisis is going to go because there's still a lot of anger here in this country about those proposed gasoline rate increase hikes that were proposed by the prime minister a lot of pressure on the prime minister to step down so far he said he will not know cauldrons a vote tomorrow in parliament that could lead to the ousting of prime minister. it certainly could parliament going to have a vote saturday morning we're told it's a vote of confidence or no confidence on the prime minister jack deal oftentimes
12:21 am
and this if this vote goes forward and if there is an overwhelming majority that that gave a no confidence vote against a prime minister yes the short answer is he could it be pushed from power and his his popularity right now in this country is very low it's low with the business community that is very powerful business community in this country it's low with the middle class but it's also low his popularity is low with the poor people of haiti as well there's been more than a dozen senators that put sent a letter to the head of the parliament on friday saying that they should push the prime minister out of office and the president is now also under pressure to potentially intervene as well we spoke to the president's spokesperson today and she basically said the president job in l. maurice still respects the prime minister but is going to let this process play out but that the president is willing to potentially make tough decisions in the coming
12:22 am
hours or days should it be necessary so you can read into that whatever you want but clearly this is a prime minister been in office for seventeen months he's never held public office before this he's a trained medical doctor he is facing the political crisis of his life and he is trying desperately to hang on to power we should know this weekend if he will. forward or not or again thanks very much indeed to the story from port au prince in haiti. a fifteen year old palestinian has been shot dead by israeli soldiers at the border between gaza and israel with thirty more injured in the late as friday protest the teenager named is off when hers was killed in clashes east of gaza city according to the palestinian health ministry well it's been more than one hundred days since a weekly protest began at the guard's israel border calling for an end to the siege an improvement in living conditions so far more than one hundred thirty seven
12:23 am
palestinians have been killed when a smith has more now from gaza. it was a new idea to try to end an old problem peaceful demonstrations on the border between gaza and israel demanding the end to eleven years of an israeli blockade that cripples life here. but a minority of protesters ran to the fence or even breached it others launched burning kites that set fire to israeli crops the protesters say it was all the excuse israeli soldiers needed to crack down hard. but now we're going to know we're living under siege we just need to live it's a right to work just like anyone else. the largest demonstration was on may fourteenth almost ten thousand palestinians massed along the border israeli snipers killed at least sixty people that day. gaza's hospitals filled with hundreds of mainly young men with life changing injuries most will never walk properly again
12:24 am
which means they'll probably never find a job. i will carry on as normal as i can and as soon as i don't cover i'll go back to the protest on the border. one hundred thirty three people have been killed join the protest over the last three and a half months there is not a chief man in the store this is the most important thing. is now i live in the sun times and. for that reason you find the little people here will set a fight with their lives if anything life has got worse since the protests started better israel has closed the main crossing into gaza for industrial goods in retaliation for those burning carts that threatens thousands of jobs at the factories that still survive israel's blockade is as tight as a burn its with al-jazeera gas. to zimbabwe now where the main opposition party

12:33 am
that's how long the presidency in mexico they include security trade gratian of course and development points really for both sides just how they're going to go about it that really makes all the difference and he said that there would be actual contents of that letter would not be revealed to the mexican people until president. to read it and respond which would be within the next two weeks what about the dreaded question of. yes that dreaded four letter word. well we understand that that was one of the conditions for carrying out this meeting all together but the mexican said that that could not be on the agenda that it couldn't even be mentioned and from what we understand it has not been at least nothing has been leaked to the contrary they really what we're getting a sense is that the the white house has sent its top tier people here to try to

nick thank you so much that africa's kevin anderson overpowered american john is there in the longest ever singles semi final at wimbledon the thirty two year old beat is nearer twenty six to twenty four in the fifth set to reach his first ever final and the all england club the marathon match lasted six hours and thirty six minutes anderson is the first south african man to reach the wimbledon final in ninety seven years just ten months after a complicated childbirth serina williams will try and reclaim her women's hurdle on
12:48 am
saturday the thirty six year old american will be going for a record equalling twenty four grand slam title she'll face a tough challenge though from germany's actually kerber in that final earlier we spoke to former professional tennis player turned commentator sophie. says williams performance at this tournament is one of the best in her career. i think that it's not only the fact that she went through you know having a child but it's also due way that she had to go through that experience i mean she was so ill and sick and for her when she mentioned that she had trouble going to a mailbox was was the least you know of saying of how bad it was to have are now in the final of wimbledon against carbo which is a repeat of the two thousand and sixteen final is absolutely incredible i think anybody who would have you know thought about it you know would have said yes she can come back but to that level today and she's playing incredible tennis in that final in two thousand and sixteen was all about the serve of serino williams and if
12:49 am
she's able to do and repeat what she did she was never broken in that final she faced one breakpoint at three on the second set against her and on that break point guess what she did and and then after that backed it up with another a deuce to a hole or serve out who are three and eventually winning the match in two sets a full cargo it's going to be all about being able to return that serve and ourself raise a level even more i mean she's been tested much more than the story now probably draw the tournament so far as far as syria is concerned she is the greatest of all time and you can count on today and tomorrow sorry being one of the best final for her and. i think her present shania franti now says the world cup in russia has been the
12:50 am
best ever and he's promising a special final when france take on croatia on sunday. evening i know i'm going to be here she. believes it will be crushing. but it's also the old a little. bit. like. it's cool if your leaders. coach. says the best two teams have made it through to sunday's final but he admits it will be the hardest game his side has ever played he. says i would take me to united to go to nick i think france have shown different styles of playing against belgium in iraq they went up and they could defend in a defensive block and they were very dangerous in counter attacks and in cost
12:51 am
transitions and this is what we have to be very cautious about it's not going to be easy to defend against counter attacks and fast transitions particularly with griezmann who are really fast and dangerous while much is expected french forward line and juan greaseman billie's france's chances could hinge on something else. we are able to win it but it's going to depend on details we have to be ready for that but considering our game i think the defense is the most important thing because we know that up front we can score goals any time it can happen with killian about the with the move from the wing with the livia's you from across or even with me with a little bit of inspiration that i have sometimes i do think however that the defense is our base belgium in england are making their final preparations for the world cup match nobody ever wants to be involved in the play off for third and fourth the belgians got the better of england one no when they met in the group stage a win on saturday will give them their best ever results at
12:52 am
a world cup although the players admit it's a difficult game to play. as if we really disappointed which is normal we wanted to reach the final we wanted to go all the way to the end and that's why we so disappointed about losing against france but i think we have a last goal left which is to leave russia with our heads held high and that can be achieved if we base angle and get third place i'm sure they're on the pitch but we very focused and very committed an order to win this match cats are twenty twenty two working eyes or say they're preparing to host a thirty two team world cup but could expand the finals to include forty eight countries if a study concludes it's possible and he richardson has been talking to catalyst twenty twenty two twos assistant secretary general nasser. decided that it's a good idea to include forty eight teams in the world cup study from twenty twenty six so they believe that there is
12:53 am
a merit in it come about have put the proposal forward for one reason or the other they must feel that it's beneficial for south american football confederation so i'm not frustrated as much as i feel that we need to basically be careful and look at the feasibility understand what the implications are before any decision is taken and we you know we were glad that first taken the decision to wait until a physical two studies done but right now you're preparing for thirty two teams and all our preparations since day one have been for thirty two team world cup and they continue to be for thirty two team world cup talking to the locals here they said the police have had a kind of an unusually liberal approach to sort of looking after the world cup fans they perhaps sort of let people drink on the streets congregate on the streets in a white that normally wouldn't happen at a similar policy taking place and cats aren't for us but i think when a country is hosting a huge event it's an unusual circumstance and you can't compare it to the usual day
12:54 am
to day life in any given country well as long as the laws are. not broken as long as people are abiding to acceptable norms i think we won't have any issues i think a lot of people change that perceptions about russia jihad that perhaps preconceptions people have about cats are in the middle east will change when it comes to well well if there are people out there who have misconceptions i'm sure that when they visit qatar for the first time they'll change their their minds and. there's a lot of people that have visited the middle east so know what the middle east is about for us it's important is that it's very intimate that football is celebrated cultural cultures are celebrated our similarities and our differences are are celebrated and that people just have a really good time and people learn something. than the average man dappled is overall lead in the tour de. on friday the belgian now leads by six seconds over gerald thomas despite both finishing stage seven with the same time stage was won

by delimit critic and dutch rider coming out on top in a sprint finish. and that's all you sport for now it's now back to neck and london for those very much indeed for the city later now as chefs are around the world have come together to help solve the issue of food waste united nations says around one third of the world's food just over a billion tons is thrown away every year while in malaysia it's vista trying to get restaurants to be more sustainable forms louis has more from quantum. from a farm to a supermarket then on to a plate but up to a third of all food eaten never reaches the table in a world where one in nine people go hungry reducing the amount which is wasted is seen as a moral imperative it's also about sustainability food that's thrown away ends up in landfills contributing to greenhouse gas emissions now there's a movement to get chefs around the world to be at the forefront of reducing food
12:56 am
waste those of us in white coats we cook a lot of food we use a lot of energy we use a lot of water and we make a lot of waste and so we have a particular responsibility to the larger society to the planet to make sure that we're doing well in each of those categories what's called the food waste challenge is being launched by the world chefs association and two of the partners the feet the planet initiative encourages chefs worldwide to start measuring the amount of wasted from their kitchens and make a commitment to cut the mountain of discarded food that's in addition to a new curriculum for student chefs to teach them sustainable practices from sourcing local produce to more efficient management of the energy used in kitchens retest a pop up not for profit restaurant in stockholm is taking the idea one step further it's serving up seven course meals using only produce from supermarkets which is usually thrown out this menu includes pasta made from stale bread that's been ground down and mixed with flour most restaurants are inherently very on wasteful
12:57 am
the bottom line relies on being very careful with what you have and using every part of every product so chef saw a wonderful way to really engage people in reducing their third waste and if we can get lots of chefs thinking like this and talking about it that's the key thing lots of chefs think like it but none of the guests that's levanon if we can encourage the storytelling behind it i think that's when we can hit the public it's hope to get everyone the cooks in the kitchen and the customers to have a. everything about waste and how it can be turned into tasty meals consumers also have a responsibility when it comes to food waste and it can be a simple as making sure you don't cut up too much of the end of a carrot when you're cooking to finishing everything on your plate ultimately making a success of the chefs throw away idea will depend on all of us florence louis al-jazeera. and with us that's it for this news but i'll be back with more news
