to his will and try and stop poor way from being involved in the building of the british 5 g. network possibly climate change as well and the british side were making a very clear before the talks began here they are i'm just just have a listen to the noise. out. of the. woods to see if you could pick up some of the noise of the protest is. still the protesters are now camped outside the end of downing street down there in every single parts of the american delegation this has crossed the 10 meters or so from downing street sort of to a foreign office over there i mean loudly booed but clearly they say that the loudest boost for president trump owns and stories amazing apologies

about how we did not he said i thought as now but as i was saying lauren sorry when using the connection the son connection to you can you hear me lawrence. ok we've lost him for now hopefully we'll get him back on very quickly as that donald trump bend to reset may make their way to downing street live pictures again of the u.s. president and the british prime minister who held talks over a few hours now at 10 downing street after having a breakfast meeting earlier with several of their respective ministers and cabinet ministers now they are heading over to the foreign office in london which is a very short distance from 10 downing street to hold a news conference which will carry again live here on al-jazeera the talks between the 2 leaders we're told have focused mainly on trade and the future trade that the 2 countries are expected to agree on after breaks it when rex it happens and trump is also expected to push the u.k.

to bar chinese company while away from its markets which has been a contentious issue between the 2 countries lately they've also talked about climate change we understand as well as iran the issue of iran and hopefully we'll hear in more detail about the various points they've discussed very shortly during this news conference in london nor in sydney is back with us once again lawrence you were telling us about the protests outside downing street but also huge protests against the u.s. president's visit planned in cities across the u.k. . yes apologies for the communications problems the process i think haven't been quite as large as they were the last time president trump was here but yes certainly very loud here right in terms face frankly the end of downing street and other protests around the country as well all the significant parts i think and please do interrupt me if the news conference

starts because i don't have a feed of it through here but just to tell you the one of the main focuses of the process in london was the appearance of jeremy corbin. we've lost him again we apologize for that we're having a. bit of a technical issue there with 10 downing street and our connection to lawrence levy we will continue to wait for the 2 leaders to arrive at the foreign office in london and to hold a news conference kimberly hockett is our white house correspondent she's standing by as well for us kimberly this is an important visit for the u.s. president as he arrives now at the foreign office so we see the 1st stadium arriving. and theresa may holding this news conference in london any moment now an important visit for the united states what is washington what is the trumpet ministration hoping it will achieve. well there are

a number of things that this president is hoping i will cheat even just to serve explain to our viewers some of the technical dick difficulties i'm pretty familiar with them it's due to the heightened security that often what happens is that the secret service will jam. the word we use the sort of the communications back to our their network so this is something that we encounter and it is something that is quickly overcome what the president has passed or they feel that the security is now under way so we should be able to resolve that here at al-jazeera pretty quickly but in the meantime i can tell you that in terms of this visit it certainly is one that's very important to the president but one that he continues to in his sort of trademark style continue to sort of weave with controversy whether it is getting into spats with the london mayor or whether it is commenting on why he thinks boris johnson the former foreign secretary would make a good prime minister something that he said in the past or even then feel sorry i'm going to interrupt you because the 2 leaders have jeff arrived at. news

conference and they're about to speak so we'll check in with you a little later in the meantime let's listen to donna's commemorates the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of those who gave the. liberty on d.j. 75 years ago. just prepare to hear from across the world it is fishing that we begin with the celebration of the special relationship between the united kingdom and the united states and during part who stood side by side on the historic day and every day. for generations at the heart of the transatlantic alliance has been an acrostic values common interests and our commitment to justice. it is that unity of purpose that will preserve the deep rooted ties between our people and underpin our nation's security and prosperity for the next

75 years and beyond so i am very pleased to welcome the president of the united states of america on this state visit to the united kingdom for the past 2 and a half years the president and i have had the duty and privilege of being the latest guardians of this precious and profound friendship between our countries as with our predecessors when we have faced threats to the security of our citizens and our allies we have stood together and acted together when russia used a deadly nerve agent on the streets of our country alongside the ukase expulsions the president expelled 60 russian intelligence officers the largest contribution towards an unprecedented global response and in syria when innocent men women and children were victims of a barbaric chemical weapons attack britain and america along with france carried out targeted strikes against the regime since we spoke about nato during my 1st

visit to the white house we have maintained our support for this crucial alliance thanks in part to your clear message on burden sharing donald we have seen members pledge another $100000000000.00 increasing their contributions to our shared security and i'm pleased to announce that nato will soon be able to call on the u.k.'s queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers and f. 35 fighter jets to help tackle threats around the world. today we've discussed again the new and evolving challenges to our security our values and our way of life we share the same view about their origin and our objectives in meeting them but like prime ministers and presidents before us and no doubt those that will come after we can also differ sometimes on how to confront the challenges we face i've always talked openly with you donald where we have taken a different approach and you've done the same with me i've always believed that cooperation and compromise are the basis of strong alliances and nowhere is this

more true than in the special relationship today we've discussed again the importance of our 2 nations working together to address iran's destabilizing activity in the region and to ensure tehran cannot acquire a nuclear weapon although we differ on the means of achieving that as i've said before the u.k. continues to stand by the nuclear deal it is clear that we both want to reach the same goal it is important that iran meet its obligations and we do everything to avoid escalation which is in no one's interest recognizing our nation's a safer and more prosperous when we work together on the biggest challenges of our time i also set out the u.k.'s approach to tackling climate change and our continued support for the paris agreement and we also spoke about china recognizing its economic significance and that we cannot ignore action that threatens our shared interests or values as we've deepened our cooperation on security including

our joint military operations and our unparalleled intelligence sharing so our economies to our ever more tightly bound together every morning 1000000 americans get up and go to work for british companies in america and 1000000 britons do the same for american companies here are trading relationship is worth over 190000000000 pounds a year and we're the largest investors in each other's economies with mutual investments valued at as much as one trillion dollars. mr president you and i agreed the 1st time we met that we should aim for an ambitious free trade agreement when the u.k. leaves the e.u. and from our positive discussions today i know that we both remain committed to this i'm also sure that our economic relationship will only grow broader and deeper building on the conversations we had and the ideas we heard from u.k. and u.s. businesses when we met them earlier today tomorrow we will sit down in portsmouth with our fellow leaders to reinforce but reaffirm the enduring importance of the

western alliance and the shared values that underpin it and as we look to the future in the years and in the generations ahead we will continue to work together to preserve the alliance that is the bedrock of our shared prosperity and security just as it was on the beaches of normandy 75 years ago. mr president well thank you prime minister may loni and i are honored to return to london as our nation's commemorate the 75th anniversary of d.-day in world war 2 we want to thank her majesty the queen. who i had a lovely dinner with the last night a fantastic person fantastic woman for so graciously inviting us to this state visit it was very very special our thanks as well to prime minister

and mr may for the warm welcome they've given the 1st lady and me as we remember the heroes who laid down their lives to rescue civilization itself on june 6th 1944 tens of thousands of young warriors left the shores by the sea. and dare to begin the invasion of normandy and the liberal ration of europe and the brutal nazi occupation it was a liberation like few people have seen before among them were more than 130000 american and british brothers in arms through their valor and sacrifice they secured our homelands and say freedom for the world tomorrow prime minister may and i will attend a commemoration ceremony in portsmouth one of the key embarkation points for the invasion more than one and a half 1000000 american service members was stationed right here in england in

advance of the landings that summer the bonds of friendship forged here and sealed in blood on the hollowed beaches will endure for ever our special relationship is grounded in common history values customs culture language and loss our people believe in freedom and independence as a sacred birthright and cherished inheritance worth defending at any cost as the prime minister and i discussed in our meetings today and yesterday the united states and the united kingdom share many goals and priorities around the world i want to thank the people of the united kingdom for this service and partnership in our campaign to defeat isis as we announced a few months ago isis's territorial caliphate in syria and iraq has been completely obliterated defeated the united kingdom is also

a key partner in nato the prime minister and i agree that our nato allies must increase their defense spending we've both been working very hard toward that end. and we are very current and some of them are not we can't allow that to happen but i appreciate everything you've done in that regard we expect a growing number of nations to meet the minimum 2 percent of g.d.p. requirement to address today's challenges all members of the allies must fulfill their obligations they have no choice they must fulfill their obligations among the pressing threats facing our nations is the development and spread of nuclear weapons perhaps that's our greatest threat the united states and the united kingdom are determined to ensure that iran never develops nuclear weapons and stop supporting and engaging in terrorism and i believe that will happen in

protecting our nations we also know that the border security is national security today the prime minister and i discussed our thriving economic relationship both countries are doing very well and participated in a roundtable with industry and business leaders i can say probably the biggest business leaders anywhere in the world our nations have more than one trillion dollars invested in each other's economics the united kingdom is america's largest foreign investor in our largest european export market that's a lot of importance as the u.k. makes preparations to exit the european union the united states is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. there is tremendous potential in that trade deal i say probably to at even 3 times

of what we're doing right now tremendous potential 75 years ago this thursday courageous americans and british patriots set out from the silent word history's most important battle. they stormed forward out of ships in airplanes risking everything to defend our people and to ensure that the united states and britain would for ever remain sovereign and for ever remain free following this press conference prime minister may mr may the 1st lady my family and i will visit the legendary churchill war rooms beneath the streets of london i look forward to that in his famous speech on this day in june 1940 prime minister churchill his country meant to defend our island whatever the cost may be as we mark this solemn anniversary of d.-day we remember that the defense of our

nations does not begin on the battlefield but within the heart of every patriot today let us we knew our pledge engraved at the american cemetery in normandy and inscribed by president dwight eisenhower in st paul's cathedral right here in london that the cause for which they died shall live prime minister may it's been a true honor i have greatly enjoyed working with you you are a tremendous professional and a person that loves your country dearly thank you very much really an honor thank you for the invitation to memorialize our fall and heroes and for your partnership in protecting and advancing the extraordinary alliance between the american and the british people it's the greatest alliance the world has ever known thank you prime minister thank you thank you thank you very much. thank you.

and. thank you now we're going to take 2 questions from the u.k. media and 2 questions from the american media i'll start with. thank you thank you prime minister president trump 3 b. from sky news for you president trumpets you hold talks with the current prime minister the leader of her majesty's opposition has been addressing a protest rally against your visit in trafalgar square he says he's disappointed you atop the lawn to man and he criticized you wreck or on refugees what do you have to say to him and is this man someone you could do a trade to with and to you prime minister do you think the city can it's a stone cold loser. if you're going to but the mayor of london said who use it

yes well i think he's been a not very good mayor from what i understand he's done a poor job crime is up a lot of problems and i don't think he should be criticizing a representative of the united states that can do so much good for the united kingdom we talked about it before he should be positive not negative reason negative force not a positive force and if you look at what he said he hurts the people of this great country and i think he should actually focus on his job he'd be a lot better if he did that he could straighten out some of the problems that he has and probably some of the problems that he's caused thank you donna. he wanted to meet with me and i told him no yes well. i don't know jeremy corben never met him never spoke to him he wanted to meet today

or tomorrow and i decided that i would not do that. i think that he is from where i come from somewhat of a negative force i think that people should look to do things correctly as opposed to criticize us i really don't like critics as much as i like and respect people that get things done so i've decided not to made as far as the protests i have to tell you because i commented on it yesterday we left the prime minister the queen the royal family there were thousands of people on the streets cheering and even coming over today there were thousands of people cheering and then i heard that there were protests i said where are the protests i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came very small so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say but you saw the the people waving the american flag waving your flag it was tremendous spirit and love there was great

love it was an alliance and i didn't see the protests or do just a little while ago and it was a very very small group of people put in for political reasons so it was fake news thank you and i would say to both marriage london and germany called in the discussions that we have had today are about the future of this most important relationship between the u.s. and the u.k. as the president described it to the greatest alliance the world has seen it is this deep special relationship and partnership between the united states and the united kingdom that ensures our safety and security and the safety and security of others around the world and it is this relationship that helps to ensure the road jobs that employ people here in the u.k. and in the united states that underpins our prosperity and off future that is a relationship we should cherish it is a relationship we should build on it is a relationship we should be proud of. especially when you're not big and this really is a very big important alliance and i think people should act positively toward it

because it means so much for both countries means so much and it's been so good to see volunteer steve thank you mr president is that on the what is your current view on briggs assertion britain leave the european union if there is no agreement by october 31st and for the prime minister what will be the ramifications for the u.k. if there is not a deal well i don't like to take positions in things that i'm not you know really i understand the issue very well i i really predicted what was going to happen some of you remember that prediction it was a strong prediction made at a certain location on a development we were opening the day before it happened and i thought it was going to happen because of immigration more than anything else but probably it happens for a lot of reasons but i would say yes i would think that it will happen and it probably should happen this is

a great great country and it wants its own identity it wants to have its own borders it wants to run its own affairs is a very very special place and i think it deserves a special place and i thought maybe for that reason and for others but that reason it was going to happen yeah i think it will happen and i believe the prime minister's brought it to a very good point where something will take place in the not too distant future i think she's done a very good job. i believe it would be good for the country yes. from my point of view i believe it is important for us to deliver bret's it we gave that choice to the british people parliament overwhelmingly gave the choice to the british people we should now deliver on that choice i continue to believe that it's in the best interests of the u.k. to leave the european union in an orderly way with a deal i think we have a good deal sadly the labor party and other m.p.'s have so far stopped us from delivering it in that deal but we will but obviously this is an issue that is going

to continue here in the u.k. i think the important thing is we deliver bracks it and once we're out of the european union we will be able to do what we've been talking about today and develop not just that free trade agreement but a broader economic partnership into the future. matter mr president are you prepared to impose limits on intelligence sharing with britain if they do not put in place some restrictions on what our way because we're going to have absolutely an agreement on while way and everything else we have an incredible intelligence relationship and we will be able to work out any differences i think we're not going to have we did discuss it i see absolutely no limitations we've never had limitations this is a truly great ally and partner and will have no problem with that. francis. mr president de france 7 times do you agree with your ambassador that the entire economy needs to be on the table in the future trade talk

a trade deal including the n.h.s. and prime minister are you tempted to take the finest offer to a president of the world and stick around for a bit until trade deal is done i think we're going to have a great trade deal yes i think we're going to have a great and very comprehensive trade deal i can hear valid question. i think everything with a trade deal is on the table when you when you're dealing in trade everything's on the table so n.h.s. or anything else are a lot a lot more than that but everything will be on the table absolutely ok but the point about making trade deals is of course that both sides negotiate and come to an agreement about what should or should not be in that trade deal for the for the future and as regards your 2nd question francis nice try. but no look i'm a woman of my word. john close.

mr president thank you mr president domestically in recent days mexico has stepped up apprehensions and deportations of central american migrants it's good this could possibly be in response to your threat of tariffs has mexico and possibly be as it has mexico done enough to avoid tariffs which will be imposed in some 6 days from now we haven't started yet and but the threat is out there yeah the threat is out there but we haven't really started you know this will take effect next week and what 5 percent and what do you think of republicans who say that they may take action to block you imposing those type of i don't think they will do that i think if they do it's foolish there's nothing more important than borders i've had tremendous republican support i have a 90 percent 94 percent approval rating as of this morning in the republican party that's an all time record can you believe that isn't something i love records but

we have a 94 percent approval rating in the republican party i want to see security at our border i'm going to see great trade i'm going to see a lot of things happening and that is happening and as you know mexico call they want to meet they're going to meet on wednesday secretary pump aoe is going to be at the meeting along with a few others that are very good at this and we are going to see if we can do something but i think it's more likely that the tariffs go on and we'll probably be talking during the time that the tariffs are on and they're going to be paid and if they don't step up and give us security for our nation look millions of people are flowing through mexico that's unacceptable millions and millions of people are coming right through mexico it's a 2000 mile journey and they're coming up to our border and our border patrol which is incredible they're apprehending them but our laws are bad because the democrats don't want to pass laws that could be passed in 15 minutes that could be passed

quickly in one day it could change but even beyond the laws. mexico shouldn't allow millions of people to try and enter a country and they could stop it very quickly and i think they will and if they won't we're going to put tariffs on and every month those tariffs go from 5 percent to 10 percent to 15 percent to 20 and then to 25 percent and what will happen then is all of those companies that have left our country and gone to mexico are going to be coming back to us and that's ok that's ok but i think mexico will step up and do what they should have been done and i don't want to hear that mexico is run by the cartels and the drug lords and the coyotes i don't want to hear about that a lot of people are saying that mexico has something to prove but i don't want to hear that they're run by the cartels you understand you report on it all the time a lot of people do i would be a terrible thing mexico should step up and stop this onslaught this invasion into

our country john. mr mayor you tried 3 times to get a deal on braxton it at this point do you believe that a deal on breaks it is possible or is this a gordian knot president trump says that you didn't take his advice in terms of negotiation should you have would that have made a difference in president trip if i could ask a follow up or you had a conversation with boris johnson could we ask what you spoke about and will you meet with michael gove today. well 1st of all on the 1st issues i said in answer to an earlier question i still believe i personally believe that it is in the best interests of the u.k. to leave the european union with a deal i believe there is a good deal on the on the table obviously it will be phil whoever succeeds me as prime minister to take this issue forward what is paramount i believe is delivering on brics it for the for the british people and i seem to remember the president suggested that i sued the european union which we didn't do we went into

negotiations and we came out with a good deal. that's not such as i would have sued but that's ok. i would have sued and settled maybe but you never know she's probably a better negotiator than i am jeremy but you know what she has got it in a sense john the deal is teed up i think the idea is really keyed up i think they have to do something and perhaps you won't be given the credit they deserve if they do something but i think you deserve a lot of credit i really do and i think you deserve a lot of credit. so i know barse i like um i've liked him for a long time he's i think you do a very good job i know jeremy i think you do a very good i don't know michael but. would he do a good job jeremy to him. ok . thank you very much everybody thank you thank you very much. they have

a news conference with the british prime minister theresa may enjoy as president donald trump just wrapping up in london at the foreign office in london the 2 leaders praising the their relationship donald trump calling calling the relationship between the u.s. and u.k. the greatest alliance the world has ever known and to recently for our part calling it a special relationship both leaders really saying that the bonds between the 2 countries a strong they said they discussed a number of issues including iran with the u.k. prime minister saying that both the u.s. and iran want to reach the same goals but that. the. that the u.s. that everything must done to avoid escalation in iran saying that the u.s. and u.k. are determined to make sure iran does not develop nuclear weapons they also discussed trade of course and what happens after the u.k.

leaves the european union the british prime minister saying that both countries remain committed to an ambitious u.s. u.k. free trade agreement after the u.k. needs the e.u. while the us president said that he is committed to court if in nominal trade deal with the u.k. saying that to an even 3 times is a potential of the trade deal that they will agree or we have correspondents standing by in london is there for us outside 10 downing street as well as paul brennan who's at the protests in london protests against the u.s. presence visit we also have kimberly how could our white house correspondent who is standing by for the view from washington we go to lawrence leigh 1st at 10 downing street so lawrence what were the highlights of this news conference. well let's strike out what what didn't really get anywhere unless i misheard him present from so they didn't talk about huawei. he dismissed it as an issue iran didn't really get much from looking the other in they didn't mention climate change

in that news conference at all and obviously if you look past all the all the nice diplomacy about the 2nd world war on the normandy beaches not sort of thing the absolute highlights really in the controversy were to do with what donald trump's. germy called in brooks's he said that the labor leader jeremy colvin who's denounced and by people like it was a marxist actually also present from for a meeting of would be absolutely staggered if that's true and we'll have to find out to see what german people say about that but i don't i can't see any reason at all what jeremy colvin would want to talk about anything. but in terms of the questions that were asked to present trump about what sort of trade deal he wanted the hand grenade he then rolled into the room was to say that in his opinion the national health service should be part of any negotiation and immediately stories

are made on how to row back and say well of course that's just negotiations and we have to see because she knows and every single potential prime minister after her knows that selling off parts of the bridge national health service to american pharmaceutical companies is basically death politically in this country there's no way it can happen and if that is the sort of trade deal that the american administration has in mind and if that's the source of things that hard to say that they want to have to happen in the event of a future try to green with united states is not going to get them anywhere at all and frankly the other massive problem there the heartbreaks is have and jeremy hunt the foreign secretary used on the prime minister said this himself is that if they try to go for these hard brick seats it could collapse the government and lead to a general election and that in turn could make jeremy colvin prime minister and if all of those things happen then that the source of bricks at the donald trump and

visit with a sell off part of the national health service is never going to happen in a 1000000000 years i thank you nor and and i honestly outside 10 downing street for as we cross over to colbert and now in london also for is how donald trump said at a protest against same wear fake news that there were no protests is that the case . well he said both certainly were protesters i would say that they weren't as many protesters here in central london as there were 28 teen when an estimated 250000 people turned out to protest against the american president. cool to put an estimate on this year's figures but i think we're talking probably $1520.00 at the tops thousands they've moved on from here whites whole side downing street now down towards palm and square. the rain i think will probably lead them

to despair in the near future but the speeches that were heard here in whitehall in the last hour well from people such as the opposition leader jeremy corbett who criticized the american presence in the following terms he said he would never accept a trade deal which threatened the british national health service he criticized record on refugees for example and he said the protests and activism must lead to changes not enough to just go out and protest but actually has to lead to concrete reform and change intriguing to say the difference of truth if you like between the president and jeremy colvin jeremy called in saying he he was prepared to meet the president but didn't want to do it and the president saying that jeremy called and asked to meet the president but it was the president who turned that request son little disparity. but other than that the atmosphere here was carnival very diverse lots of different groups all united by their opposition to the policies of

the us president. i believe we have a sound by poll of jeremy corbyn and what he said earlier to the demonstrators let's listen to that. i am not absolutely not refusing to meet anybody i want to be able to have done a lot to bring about the pets and more peaceful world that we all want to live in but i'm very disappointed particularly to say on the wonderful festival of eat or of london city come on it's been attacked in the way that. i'm proud that our city has a muslim that we can chase down islamophobia anti semitism any form of racism within our society. donald trump during his news conference talked about the mayor of london. was talking about there just

a moment ago and he described to be kind of a negative force just remind us of the controversy between the u.s. president and the mare of london. yeah that's been an ongoing stuff for a couple of years now it's rain man not all of them are coming forward i have to say in fairness to the american president he was asked about. he didn't necessarily volunteer these comments without 1st being prompted by reporters he was asked what he thought about the latest comments in relation to the business of the american president from as you say the president described as you should be positive not negative you described him as a negative force and this goes back to the previous visit was one of many politicians here in the u.k. who questioned whether or not trump president trump should be given a big welcome here in the u.k. given the policies that he has pursued as the american president in the

controversial way that he's gone about shaking up shall we say the political scene thank you for that paul brennan live for us in london let's get the view now from washington d.c. . our white house correspondents join us joins us allied committee how will this visit by the u.s. president to the u.k. this state visit be seen in washington will it be seen as a success. i think it will you know certainly the united states even a controversy and often polarizing figure like donald trump americans will unite behind in terms of the world stage there's always the desire to have some sort of prominence and it is generally being well received in terms of donald trump's conduct in the u.k. so far well the pattern too was something that he seemed to manage ok he seems to have gotten through this press conference without any sort of major gaffe which he is often apt to do so i think that it will be well received on that sort of surface and cosmetic level but there will also be some news that came out of the press

conference that likely the american networks and media will focus on and that has to do with the ongoing trade dispute and concerns about migration coming along the southern border of the united states with mexico you heard an american reporter there asking donald trump very directly about whether or not he will follow through with that threat for punitive tariffs beginning on june 10th starting at 5 percent in the president saying they'll go up to 25 percent every month that the mexican government does not work with the united states to stop what the u.s. sees as an historic surge of migration coming up from central america through mexico and on to the united states border this is certainly been a concern for many years by bill democrats and republicans but the top administration now saying that it has reached a proportion that they feel is overwhelming services along the southern border so you heard the united states president saying there that he will be meeting with

mexican leadership along with the secretary of state on wednesday to address this issue and saying that he will follow through make good on that threat saying it will not have an economic impact on u.s. businesses something that is certain to be debated here in the united states not everyone feeling that it will have that outcome so that is likely to be the headline here in the united states coming out of that press conference thank you for that can be how good life for us in washington d.c. . let's turn our attention now to other world news and gunfire has been heard on the streets so sudan's capital khartoum hours after the military joined us said they'll be no more negotiating with protesters and he said he 5 people have been killed in the military's crackdown. on the military leaders says elections will be held within 9 months victoria gate and he has our report.

dissidents people hold the security forces accountable for the dispersal of the set and the security forces a bit trite the sudanese people. hundreds of protesters have been arrested and the internet is cut despite that analysts say demonstrators can keep a momentum for change going but they do have the ability to mobilize civilians not only in protest but in not just in the 3 towns in the capital but others cities in the sudan and they also have the ability to cause a general strike which would severely. sudan's economy the junkie says it's investigating why forces shot unarmed civilians at the long running city at a military headquarters in khartoum and the killings are being condemned worldwide but pleas for restraint are apparently being ignored by members of the rapid support force and protesters are paying the price victoria gate and there are

commemoration ceremonies are being held in several countries on the 30th anniversary of the tenon many square massacre in china but the scene of the killings in beijing was surrounded by tight security as china's government continues its censorship of what happened the us e.u. and taiwan are among countries calling for beijing to use the anniversary to right past wrongs china's government is defending its response that. you don't find it china's tremendous development achievements show that the actions taken by the chinese government at that time were completely correct and it maintained and continued the country's political stability economic development and social progress the chinese people will move forward along the path of socialism with chinese characteristics. of the we are going lunatic ravings and babbling are destined for the garbage heap of history we advise these people to take a look in the mirror and mind their own business stop attacking and smearing china

stop interfering in china's internal affairs cease with words and actions that damage china us mutual trust and cooperation. china correspondent ed henry in brown now with more on the massacre 30 years ago. in the spring of 1989 student leader work i she was in the thick of it confronting authority on the streets arguing with china's leaders in the great hall of the people dressed in hospital but the hunger striking workers she had been rated the prime minister lee passage when students began occupying tiananmen square they were demanding more accountability in government and tougher measures against corruption they were joined by doctors teachers judges and journalists from state media the growing movement posing the greatest threat to 40 years of communist rule. work-i she says he never thought it would end the way that it did with the people's

liberation army firing on the people. expect that some blood shed. will be hit by the police but. that's what we have expected life. never. today he lives in exile in taiwan the self-governing island republic the china wants back and he's had a lot of time to reflect on whether it was all worth it i think politically or legally or rationally speaking we are blameless. but. morally i don't know that's there's another saying like. what if there's this one person or shot and dead. in that place because he heard a speech that given. the army quickly regained control of the streets but no one was quite sure who was really in charge as i reported from beijing at the time

meanwhile the men who control the army and perhaps now the government have issued another ominous warning stay off the streets. or face the consequences one man certainly didn't seem to care about the consequences yesterday in an extraordinary single act of defiance this young unarmed protester brought a column of tanks to a standstill we still don't know his name or if he survived after he was bundled away unclear by whom june the 4th is just another day in china they'll be no public displays of dissent or remembrance china's vast security and surveillance network will see to that even mothers of students killed in the bloodshed have been told to remain silent as part of the continuing official cover up the chinese leadership still refuses to acknowledge how many people were killed or to express remorse adrian brown al jazeera beijing meanwhile tens of thousands of people have gathered

in hong kong to mark 30 years since the china canon men square massacre al-jazeera is due to go palin is set. 30 years ago hong kong was a very different place for one thing it was a british colony while people here were angered and concerned about what happened in tiananmen square in 1989 there was a sense of distance so over the years this candlelight vigil became tradition the number of people coming and going waxed and waned but this year there is a sense of urgency can you tell us why this year there is a different feeling of thirst for the 30th anniversary you know i said i forget the approach that he. is being fed by the chinese government thank you and can you tell us why you're here today and why you think it's important to be here. and i hope that. hong kong.

everyone happy democracy why they're trying to frighten people and for us are they are speaking as science in its grip on the city of freedom of expression and school leaders and the central government has been interfering in a hold on the political system and now many people in all the wrong are fighting about hosing the extradition law which would be the way for people to be tried in the mainland china as a picture additional system where they didn't want them on this anniversary let's speak to keith richburg director of the journalism and media studies center at the university of hong kong thank you very much for joining us on al-jazeera 30 years on they has still been no reckoning no public reckoning by china's government about what happened 30 years ago why why is that widest china's government still doesn't want to talk about and that. but it's not only that they don't want to talk about it it's that that they actually try to erase it from from the public consciousness in the race it from memory you know i remember at the time just after the $89.00

massacre all of us include myself included many of us believe that there would be some kind of reversal of the official verdict which is that gentlemen square in 1909 was a counterrevolutionary riot. that verdict was never reversed though that we thought it would be i believe the party would just believe the communist party would believe it undercuts their legitimacy to have to come out and admit that the soldiers did something wrong so they can't admit it aspire to be under siege and paying who seems to be you know trying to whitewash that history into a lot of other things problems as well if this raises questions about the legitimacy of the ruling communist party as you say how has it been able to this day to successfully control dissent you know it's just there are several several means of massive surveillance state anyone can never be another channel men at least under this current surveillance system because at the any moment anyone rears their head on social media or with a blog post or with something critical of the party they can be immediately with

the way they've also been able to insulate themselves by wrapping themselves in the nationalist flag so any criticism of china becomes a criticism you know ito of the of the cut chinese people in the chinese culture any criticism of the communist parties rule becomes equated with criticism of china itself so they managed to wrap themselves in nationalism and they've been insulated by a very strong economy they've been saying basically the compact is leave us alone to rule the country and we'll keep the economy growing and you can get rich just don't get involved in politics and so i think all of those things but it's primarily just massive surveillance and repressive architecture that they've managed to institute now and where does this all leave hong kong then. frightened frightened and scared look i mean this is the only place on chinese soil that is allowed to to commemorate gentleman square although what we've seen since the handover to china in 1907 is a slow tightening of the screws the reason this year's vigil is is probably going

to be larger than many in the past is because people are really afraid of a new extradition law that's coming into effect that would allow people to be shipped over the border to mainland china to face trial where we know there's nothing but show trials and a rule of law system that's nothing near international standards so people are afraid that china has slowly since the 2014 occupy protests china has been chipping away at hong kong's rights chipping away at hong kong's legal system right at the physical border is being reduced slowly and now even the legal boundary we're afraid thank you so much for speaking to us keith richard from the university of hong kong joining us there live thank you for your insight and the syrian government russia has brought the u.n. security council from issuing a statement on attacks in italy province the member states were expected to sound the alarm over the possibility of a humanitarian disaster because of increasing attacks by the government on rebel controlled areas on monday at least 3 people were killed in the town of newmont government forces knowledge and offensive to recapture it in april despite

trees they moved to the old and grows in the to seek refuge and we spoke to them today before coming to this location for the live they told us that they were they were only able to get the clothes they had on themselves and a few blankets and then they ran to this place which is close to the turkish border to feel safer and to avoid to escape the bombardments but however they are afraid that their lead they are left vulnerable because the international community is not doing anything according to them and by the way during the latest tension old international aid organizations have cut access because of the risks and because of some other measures around here and people are in need of many things food water and health is a big issue because especially in the camps of the recent displaced people who are living under the trees they have no access to the supplies like water medicine and

we are hearing from them that the children there are also suffering due to diarrhea and some other diseases which is which are spread in the camps and they have no access to the hospitals and inside that the hospitals are like the sort targets the main targets of the syrian regime and people believe that they are being systematically targeted in the hospitals. and and all people are curious people people who have lost their holds because they don't know what they're going to do because the weather is going there is the weather is getting hotter and as the climate gets warmer people are going to sell for more and this is the situation here is very dire and they need some hold thank you very much for that reporting live from the at make camp for displaced people in syria is a province plenty more news as always on our web site al-jazeera dot com all the latest on all of our top stories on there and i'll be back in just a few minutes with more well news including the latest on u.s.
