8:00 pm
him. probably was a marine one look i don't know if i can say this on the camera of a or. there's a there's i think maybe marine one landing just now is different helicopter. but yes he needs he seems to need to be accepted as well and obviously back home in the united states the the optics as they call it's of him having an audience with the with the queen is absolutely brilliant for him it implies acceptance. and he's going to have lunch with the queen there's a state banquet this evening of which he's going to give a speech in various times the royal family through the course of the afternoon he's a great angler far he keeps saying how much he loves britain and his scottish roots in his golf course in scotland and all those sorts of things so on that level the protocol looks ok but you know there are there are little hand grenades going off as i've been saying all over the place he's in an ongoing row with meghan markle the duchess of sussex they don't they don't like each other at all there's the
8:01 pm
potential for a round with prince charles over the over the environment's various very high ranking politicians who've been invited to the state banquet so nice here are boycotting it's. opposition politicians taking to twitter saying that the whole thing should be cancelled and that's even without the public protests that there's there's banners going up on some of the bridges around london saying stop trump and there's going to be a process outside buckingham palace here this evening as well so the whole thing is really marked with rancor and a lot of people saying that it's a sad day it's totally inappropriate for him to be in such a strange thing that this is supposed to be you know the oldest the most crucial relationship in the walls really between the u.s. and u.k. and it is marked with with so much disagreement over. trumps perceptions of house he sees things as being and the perception the u.k. of how they see him indian of course or as his helicopter lands in the gardens of
8:02 pm
buckingham palace lawrence and we can see those pictures now obviously he's also touching on 2 very sensitive issues at the moment for the u.k. one is breck see it and the other is that the health service. yeah and they're there inexplicably linked the national health service in this country for people who don't know when since its inception after the 2nd world war has always been a state funded publicly owned thing which which the british. population are intensely proud of the idea that you don't have to pay for health care in this country and it comes out of general taxation is absolutely suits of the british way of life and every single governments of any stripe has to come in and explain how they're going to continue to fund the health service through public funds and for the americans and this was flags in advance of trump's visit by the american ambassador in an interview he gave he gave on sunday the idea that after brics it's
8:03 pm
the u.k. and u.s. might reach some sort of bespoke trade deal for the american side the idea that american pharmaceutical companies might be able to buy into the health service in a partly privatized way it is very significant for the american side because it's a very very big market in this country but there is no british politician even those who absolutely support the sorts of breck's of the donald trump would like to see to say that the americans combines the health service and partly privatized it is just career suicide. you can imagine how they could ever do it and so even like the current foreign secretary jeremy hunt's who's a leading contender suits to be the next prime minister was on the radio this morning saying we can't have the health services part of any sort of trade deal and so there are sticking points all over the place attached to this but the most bizarre thing of all really briefly is when president trump meets to resume a tomorrow and they talk about things like bricks it's an kuar way which is the
8:04 pm
other thing the at the china the chinese telecommunications company whether it should or shouldn't have a place in the british 5 g. network trump no trees are made gone in a week and so what really are the points of those talks within a month is going to be talking to a different prime minister indeed which will happen. as the day unfolds and president trump comes out of that helicopter with his wife. to meet the british monarch let's cross over to bob we go she's the opinion editor for bloomberg and joins us live now from london not only does he do you join us sir bobby but prince charles and his wife are also off to welcome the american president in there the pictures we're seeing right now they themselves you might say prince charles and the president don't see eye to eye on a lot of subjects but mind you president trump doesn't see eye to eye on a lot of subjects either that many british politicians would like to discuss with him. that's right i mean he is he is
8:05 pm
a maverick which may be the most charitable thing to be able to say to be able to say about him and his views are to the right even of the conservative party in this country the very very few politicians here i can only really think of danger for a leader of the u.k. party in the brags of party who are completely in sync with donald trump's view of the world not even for his johnson a politician that trump admirers not even boris johnson i think fully agrees with trump i mean i'm rick i'm recalling the time the bar jumps down some described trump as being unfit to be president so i he comes here with with the usual pomp and circumstance of a state visit by an american president but he's and he's possibly the most unpopular american president to ever set foot on the shores i was here when when george bush came here immediately after the iraq war and not even he was this
8:06 pm
unpopular at the demonstrations last year when trump was here in july brought out a quarter of a 1000000 people into the streets i think that number will be matched and possibly exceeded on this occasion he's also a figure of fun he's become a laughing stock british comedians and joy taking stabs at him people who go out to protest tomorrow will will enjoy watching that trump baby balloon go up and and get some giggles out of that there's a mixture of condescension as well as anger and hate at donald trump i've never seen that happen with any will it will be interesting to see how that will all unfold but the president and prince charles that make their way into the entrances of buckingham palace but bobbie i mean really what is president comes to the u.k. the u.k. is seen as the closest ally in a very special. lation ship between the 2 countries certainly post world war $2.00
8:07 pm
and $1.00 wonders what agreements will be cemented into place all what will be firmed up because that's what normally happens on these state visits we we get an agreement on some sort of policy decision or some sort of financial or economic scenario what do you think is going to be agreed on if anything i don't think anything is going to be agreed on because the british political system is in such a flux at the moment a week or 10 days or 2 weeks from now there will be an entirely new prime minister possibility of a new election in the near future cannot be removed so i can't imagine any substantive agreements being struck on this occasion the good news though is that the relationship between the 2 countries is bigger than any individual it if it's survived george bush i think it will survive donald trump it is institutional it is cultural it's historical and i think not even donald trump can upset that for the
8:08 pm
moment because you leave it there and see how the day unfolds and what comments come out from london for the moment thanks very much for your time. sir. 2 senior american officials have expressed extremely different views on the government's long awaited middle east peace plan the washington post obtained an audio recording of in which the secretary of state questions how people will perceive the still secret plan and brian explains. secretary of state mike was speaking to leaders of jewish organizations in the u.s. when he gave his candid assessment of the so-called deal of the century he said it could be argued that the white house plan for peace between israel and the palestinians is an executable i get why people think this is going to be. a deal that only busy the israelis go out i understand the perception of. the space. back we we have struck the right
8:09 pm
place the palestinians have already dismissed the plan outright calling it a blueprint for israeli domination probably going to be described as historians as the biggest laughingstock of any diplomatic on paper negotiation that doesn't even get underway in history i mean it is dead on arrival and pompei 0 is actually to our surprise revealing that his own personal opinion on this is that it's not going to go very far at all the u.s. has enraged the palestinians by moving its embassy to jerusalem and passing aid to the palestinian authority despite that white house adviser jared cushion told the h.b.o. program x. ers the deal was in the palestinians best interest regards the palestinian people i do believe that they want to have a better life and i do think that they're not going to join in my very being well they're not going to judge anything based on trusting me you're trusting anyone
8:10 pm
else they're going to judge you based on the facts and then make a determination do they think this will allow them to have a pathway to a better life or not cushion has been in jerusalem rallying support holding talks with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. yahoo a day after parliament was dissolved and an unprecedented 2nd election called just 7 weeks after the last one failed to get their act together. now all of a sudden they could have to go through the process still september that's ridiculous so we're not happy about that but if we can get a free flow is going to be good. the rollout of trump's deal of the century is already delayed if its release is pushed back any further it will end up being overtaken by campaigning for the us presidential election and 2020 meaning the deal could be over before it's even begun. and al-jazeera council's foreign minister has told the he has reservations about the statements on iran that came out of summits held in mecca last week the qatari prime minister turned to the
8:11 pm
events despite the ongoing blockade of cancer by 3 of its gulf neighbors it was the highest level of contact between the 2 sides since the crisis began 2 years ago. we had reservations about many parts of the statement these elements include 1st the issue of only condemning iran and the escalation against it in the absence of any moderate policy to engage in dialogue with iran or to solve the challenges which could exist in the relationship between the gulf states and iran or between the arab states and iran on another side on we have the adoption of the american policy towards iran respect american policy towards iran but it is different from our policy. to be on the statement also mentioned the united goal whereas the night of the gulf when we have 3 gulf states blockading another gulf state whereas the united go through are we deceiving our people with such a statement. now after more than 2 years of inquiries the canadian government is set to receive a report on missing and murdered indigenous women the reports already been leaked
8:12 pm
and it calls the disappearance and murder of possibly thousands of women a canadian genocide she had returns we spoke to some of those affected by the violence about what they hope the inquiry will in chief. maggies i wouldn't sister sonia was murdered in 1904 yet she had so little faith in the national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls she chose not to testify families want to be. police killings that had taken place investigated they wanted their missing brought home so those kinds of things are never able to be not able to have been answered with this inquiry it's not that they haven't been calls for a specific investigation into the disproportionate violence directed at indigenous women in canada just 4 percent of the population but 16 percent of reported nationwide homicides justin trudeau followed through on his campaign pledge announcing inquiry and 2015 and the inquiries go was not simply
8:13 pm
a long awaited official recognition of decades of brutality the work that we're going to be doing research and care systemic causes for at the murderess and disappearances after 2 and a half years and $68000000.00 it appears that the inquiry will basically state the obvious the problem lies in the economic and social marginalization of indigenous communities institutional racism violence and indifference to the all out quite overt cultural war waged against the indigenous by the canadian states hilda allison pitts assistant dormice found dead in 2011 her body badly bruised but authorities blamed exposure due to intoxication like many she's critical of how rushed the inquiry seemed as it parish it into communities without building trust and asked for painful testimony in an institutional setting reminiscent of the judicial system that attacks the indigenous nonetheless she found testifying to the inquiry worthwhile for many they never shared their story with anybody prior to the
8:14 pm
national inquiry coming forward and they felt they could take their story and leave it there and move forward in their healing process hilda is skeptical but feels it's a disservice to all those who like her shadow. truth to dismiss the possibility that the inquiry will lead to meaningful change just getting this message out is an achievement i think it's really important as canadians to recognize that many indigenous women and girls who live in 1st nations 1st nation communities are living in 3 conditions but while few will dispute the reported findings of the inquiry some wonder what good any recommendations will be if the federal and provincial governments are the ones expected to be in charge of implementation is so colonial government executing 2 o'clock am governments and that is the reason why we have missing and murder it's genocide canada is not the only country built on kalu you'll violence genocide as the inquiry has reportedly found but the
8:15 pm
government does have yet another opportunity to address that legacy on monday she ever time see al-jazeera on to our. mexican president and dress manuel lopez obrador was struggling to curb a wave of violence but he. says he wants to use social programs to lift people out of poverty and prevent young people and unemployed adults and the up in organized crime and the republic has the latest in our series on lopez obrador 1st 6 months in office. in the mountains a very crude mexico 29 year old make any metal meters is tending to a cornfield she was able to get her own agricultural project off the ground with the help of a government subsidy part of a series of new social programs created by the federal government this specific program is aimed at lifting rural farmers out of poverty but also aims to pay young people to learn a new trade. the hope it's true that young people want everything fast they want easy money they think everything in life is easy in this life nothing is easy you
8:16 pm
have to work so if the government wants to give us a hand then let's get to work you know the state of it or crews were making lena lives has a high level of violence there were 680. 2 homicides reported in the state in just the 1st few months of the year nationwide violence is on the rise and spreading to otherwise peaceful parts of the country president and the basement of a locus of other hopes his social programs for young people will work as a deterrent against crime in mexico city we spoke to 3 teenagers who are enrolled in a government scholarship program they've experienced the violence firsthand and believe the newly formed social programs will have a positive impact on deterring future criminals and me when they get that big and believe me robbers are common where i live murders are common gunshots at night are common myth and if the government can reduce the number of people becoming involved in crime slowly everything else will fix itself i think financial assistance to
8:17 pm
young people as a strategy for crime prevention is certainly a novel idea for the country but mexico is already on track to surpass last year's record setting homicide rate and not everyone seems convinced the social programs are working on is also a noble when we're talking about public funds in a country and cities that have series and security issues where records of violence continue to be broken it's not about how much money you give a young person. in the case of impoverished farmers and very crews there does appear to be a high expectation from the president's initiative even if the results aren't immediately visible this is one of the 1st fields that was planted by farmers with assistance from the government it'll still be several months before the corn can be harvested perhaps the same could be said about seeing the benefits of a program that goes beyond a government handout but gives rural farmers a renewed incentive and desire to work the land went up a little. bit across mexico. next in our series on president lopez obrador his
8:18 pm
1st 6 months in office will look at the progress in one of his nose controversial plans to decriminalize all drugs and reform mexico's narcotics laws passed on tuesday here on al-jazeera. still ahead here on out as there will be live from london president truck needs queen elizabeth buckingham palace and will be in a remote part of pakistan to explore what's believed to be the world's largest fort . hello again it's good to have you back well here across parts of japan things looking much better now that front is pushing out into the pacific so playing a sun is going to be in the forecast as we go towards tuesday as well as into wednesday so

a lot of sun here on the satellite image and then on our forecast map we're going to be seeing tokyo at about $27.00 degrees sendai a $26.00 clouds down here for soccer with some rain just to the south and that rain is going to skirt to the south so not too much of a problem there over here towards china though we have some very hot air across much of beijing the clouds will remain but by the time we get to wednesday we're going to see that temperature come down slightly with some rain here in the forecast as a record down here across parts of maine shut mainland china well the rain's going to stay mostly on the coast over the next few days those thunderstorms are going to push through hong kong saw some rain showers pushing through as well but to the north it is going to be quite warm quite dry and quite sunny until we get to wednesday we're going to see more and more secure coming into play and temperatures will be coming down as well and then here cross the philippines is going to be a mix of clouds and rain over the next few days manila we do expect to see a forecast high here of $35.00 degrees staying that way as we go towards wednesday but plenty of rain across much of malaysia and for parts of bangkok we're going to
8:20 pm
see attempt a few of $35.00. these explosions went off and. these nuclear bombs were experiments by the soviet union to the kazakh people who lived in the vicinity the motives make belittle difference. rewind silent. on al-jazeera.
8:21 pm
talk about 12 as a means a whole rama reminder of our top stories at least 9 people have been killed and many more seriously injured after a heavily armed troops opened fire on demonstrators in sudan witnesses say the violence began when troops tried to break up a protest camp outside the militant his headquarters in the capital khartoum also protest leaders have called for a general strike a nationwide civil disobedience until legend is overthrown the barricades have been put up in towns and cities across sudan who ruling winter say that they'll send an invitation to the protesters to resume negotiations and in our other top story donald trump has arrived in the u.k. for a 3 day state visit the u.s. president's already spot controversy with his recommendations on bret's that and who should replace teresa made these are live pictures coming from buckingham palace. as courted by her majesty queen elizabeth the 2nd to inspect
8:22 pm
a guard of honor is called he's accompanied by his wife melanie and he was received by in buckingham palace as he landed by prince charles and his wife camilla. and of course we are now waiting i think for the national anthems to be played. was a. i i i. i i i i i i. i. i. i. i i. i.
8:23 pm
i i. i. i i. i i i am. i. i hope to curb . i i i i hope as protocol that tate's the american national anthem played and the queen will escort president trump to
8:24 pm
a call to follow all of. the troops that are in front of you of course. along with her majesty the queen she sort of allows her son prince charles the act of the throne to take the president to inspect a god of order will be features that. of the keeping guard of buckingham palace many tours of course take that photo opportunity once they are full service it in london it's unusual but not. unique to this particular ceremony is happening in the gardens of buckingham palace normally when there is a state visit you have the start of all the happening. at the front of buckingham palace and the pomp and ceremony the marching of the band the arrival happens obviously in full gaze and all the assembled public or the many thousands that are lined the mile that leads up to buckingham palace but of course i think on this
8:25 pm
occasion perhaps security concerns and also concerns about protests my term of. indicated or allowed the hosts to decide that it would be the best interest of everybody if such a god of honor and welcome were to happen in the gardens of buckingham palace and they are quite unique garden so often thousands of people attend her majesty's garden parties through the year but while the prince charles. a school the president as part of the protocol and etiquette of a state visit allows the president to inspect the troops and for sure prove them as well just listening to a little bit of a musical has been accomplished them. of
8:26 pm
course so while not inspection of the guard of honor continues we can join our lawrence lee who's also monitoring events for a sit in front of a buckingham palace while all of those events happened behind are getting a great view lawrence i'm not sure you are really imports going on in the royal gardens but certainly i would be having quite a nice time it's all very pleasant there i don't think it's going to be that pleasant across the country as the president trumper moves across london through the day. yes i'll the fed i can't
8:27 pm
hear you terribly well. just you know just just watching the pictures of donald trump in the back garden of buckingham palace. next to the queen and camilla prince charles his wife in terms of the 6 old song about the view scuse me that this will present. the to the audience in the united states you obviously what we in the public loves the royal family there. for for donald trump to be seen you know inspecting the beefeaters and having this audience with the queen. it's exactly the sort of thing that he will want for the state visits he says over and over again how much he loves britain talks about his scottish roots all the time and so for all the difficulties that this visit has it has led to for the british side for him this is exactly what he wanted and as i say i think it's very much an open question whether he's more interested in coming here to talk about trade and what
8:28 pm
the relationship with the u.k. looks like in the future particularly after bret seats or whether he's really more interested in these sort of level of acceptance that this gives him and affords him to be seen having lunch with the queen which will start in about 5 minutes from now and going off to westminster abbey to lay a wreath of the tomb of the unknown soldier this afternoon the 2nd part of the state banquet tonight these things are exactly what's he's he's been craving frank frankly for some time now he's wanted this state visit very much really ever since he became president and this is what he wants from the british side of course things are things are entirely different because there's a total political pile in from both sides that side of politics that wants donald trump to be here so a lot of politicians are talk to him about bret's it's a trade deal after the u.k. if it does ever leave the european union but of course for all donald trump's
8:29 pm
political opponents it's an opportunity for them to just say how much they think he shouldn't be here at all excuse me and you know politicians are weighing in on twitter saying it's absolute outrage just the way in which each treated when he got off the plane about the mayor of london saying he was a loser that sort of language for politicians from people like the labor party and the liberal democrats it is a demonstration in their view that this visit shouldn't be happening in the 1st place and of course while years here you touched upon the fact that issues such as braddock's is a national health service. have been touched upon and they are hot political potatoes that any time of a year and especially no. yeah i mean you know clearly that the whole background of this is that brick sits in the process of the u.k. trying to leave the european union is in is in it is in a tremendous amount of trouble to resume a state her entire political reputation and lost on having some sort of engineers
8:30 pm
way out of the european union over a course of time and that's no cost job as prime minister and so the leading contenders to be the next prime minister to replace her are those who say that the u.k. should just leave under what are called w t o world trade organization rules at the end of october and then just start striking trade deals with the united states in the australian and canada and these sorts of countries and that's exactly the sort of language the donald trump uses as well but from the american perspective. a trade deal with the u.k. is an opportunity to try to flood the u.k. with american produce and potentially for american pharmaceutical companies to buy their way into what is now the publicly funded national health service and that part of it certainly is is just a step way too far for any british prime minister but certainly any conservatives even who try to suggest that the national health service could be partly privatized
8:31 pm
and sold off to american companies is just political death and so already today some of the leading contenders for the job have been asked are you in agreement with the americans on this and they have to say no we absolutely are not and so there are there are enormous sticking points there and as i said already they the most peculiar thing of all is that when donald trump meets to resume a tomorrow that's not now going to be a one on one by the way it's going to be in delegations they both know that you know talking about what might happen in the future is a totally fruitless exercise because friday is the last day for some reason most prime minister and there's a leadership contest inside the conservative party is still going on and the outcome for that won't be known when we know until july and so donald trump doesn't know who the next british prime minister is who he might be dealing with a more sort of vision they might have for a future relationship with the united states either and so in one sense talking about what that relationship in trade terms will look in the future it is a pointless exercise because you know that the shape of the british government the
8:32 pm
general election this year so the shape of british politics is still entirely unclear of the loons and let's just talk about how this day is going to unfold because obviously there's the politics to one side lawrence has a great deal of ceremony certainly in the next several hours. yes yes very much so after lunch with the queen he meets other members of the royal family not make a mark will they that trump and meghan markle that as the sussex don't get along with each other prince harry husband will meet trump then he goes off to westminster abbey to lay a wreath of the tomb of the unknown soldier and then it's t. clarence house with prince charles and camilla charles his wife suggestions that charles who's obviously going to become the king warm day an avowed environmentalist will try to take from poland over the american withdrawal from from from the paris climate change agreements so that's another potential sticking
8:33 pm
points on the on the royal level not even not even the political level and then out of the state banquet this evening they'll be a protest outside buckingham palace in the meantime a public protests and at the state banquets the speaker of the house of commons john bercow a liberal democrat leaders of inst cable the labor party leader jeremy corbyn all very senior political figures they're all boycotting the state banquet it is the most peculiar thing you can think of where 2 countries which are supposed to have the special relationship are in this this this very odd situation where large sections of the british policy that there's a whole class simply don't want anything to do with the american president bush is the how about day involves a very interesting one it will be for the moment of course lawrence we'll leave it there for now thank you. and let's get to all of the top story of the day in the crackdown in sadar let's take a look at how we got to the point that we're out at the moment mass protest.
