6:03 pm
downing street and emma hayward in parliament square where protesters marched and our white house correspondent kelly halkett is standing by in washington but we begin with jonah hold jonah what struck you the most thought at that press conference. i think what strikes the most from a press conference like that is just how thin it was in terms of its formal statements in terms of any real handling of the business of the day a meeting like this between a president and a prime minister ordinarily on an occasion like a state visit would be a pretty significant one on this occasion of course 3 is a may we'll stand down as leader of her party in a couple of days time will be a new prime minister by the end of july there's a distinct limit to the amount of business that can be done and that showed there were no one on one meetings between the 2 leaders they met in downing street in the company of their respective teams the formal parts of that press conference were largely devoted to sort of niceties about the special relationship shared values
6:04 pm
shared relations shared cooperation and that sort of thing they did of course dive into the question of why way albeit only briefly the chinese telecoms giant that's the big top line news item at the moment that might be. our apologies and we sort of brushed that aside in the press cover say don't worry about a thing there will be a deal done in other words leave it to mrs may's successor it was talk about bricks it in a post briggs it trade deal of course mr trump a big fan of both using phrases like very very substantial and phenomenal to describe it mrs may was asked whether she would heed the president's advice to stick around and see a deal done she said she was a woman of her word she will stand down in other words as planned all right going to hell thank you well donald trump says he refused an offer from the u.k.'s main opposition leader jeremy corben to meet during his state visit attending an anti trump protest corben hit out at the president for calling london's mayor
6:05 pm
a quote stone called loser i am not absolutely not refusing to meet anybody i want to be able to have that dialogue to bring up barriers the better and more peaceful world that we all want to live in but i'm very disappointed particularly to die on the wonderful festival of the marrow of london city john has been attacked in the way that c.n.n. has i'm proud that our city has a muslim man that we can. it's none of your anti semitism any form of racism within our society let's bring in emma hayward she's joining us from london's parliament square covering the protests and he is a divisive for presidents and certainly not one that everyone feels warmly about being in the u.k. including jeremy corbyn. yeah german words i think struck people
6:06 pm
some people by surprise that he said he was willing to speak to donald trump he got the biggest share of all when he took to the stage just down the white hole now the protest itself there is starting to thin out just a few 100 people left but it was much bigger earlier we joined at the very beginning to cover it several 1000 people taking part very very loud noisy but in good spirits the organizers want it to be like a carnival and it certainly was quite loud a lot of instruments being played and quite joyous in some ways but people very very angry about donald trump being allowed to visit the u.k. and being a full day and the owner of a state visit people here very very cross about the money that's been spent on not visits the money going towards the security millions and millions of dollars but people here very. dislike of donald trump the people are talking about of course taking part in the protest saying that things like climate change but not swayed
6:07 pm
palestine but his views are unpalatable and they simply didn't want him to come to the u.k. at all. and i hear words thank you let's now cross over to washington where we have our white house correspondent kimberly hallock and so it's the 2nd day of his state visit to the u.k. what are the headlines over in the united states and particularly after the press conference he held with the prime minister. well i think there's some relief that donald trump hasn't embarrassed the united states significantly he did of course have a bit of sparring in that ongoing spat he has with london's mayor city con but otherwise there is sort of the donald trump stuck to the teleprompter he was teleprompter tromp for that press conference and so i think that there is certainly some relief that that was the case but also some headlines coming out of that press conference with respect to sort of american domestic politics particularly when it comes to
6:08 pm
migration the surge of migrants coming along into the united states along the southern border with mexico this is been a concern for some time the top administration saying that those numbers and are reaching historic proportion and donald trump now following through again on that threat that he made earlier to put impose tariffs on mexican goods into the united states starting with 5 percent on june 10th going up to 25 percent and 5 percent monthly incriminates if the mexican government does not work with the united states in order to cooperate to stop the surge of migrants from central america transiting through mexico so this is causing some concern for the business community this could have a large impact on consumers on jobs on energy prices so this is something that certainly is starting to get some traction here in the united states is the fact that the president not only made these comments but in advance of the discussions that are set to take place on wednesday to try and combat this even as the mexican
6:09 pm
government signaling some cooperation following through on those threats saying that those tariffs will go into place if that surge is not combat it and what in the bigger picture kimberly what is the trump administration trump himself and those around him hoping to achieve during the 3 days there. well we had expected that there would be more discussion about huawei of course the chinese telecom giant the concern that the united states has had here democrats and republicans we should point out about the the concern that as this 5 g. network is implemented that there would be this backdoor espionage that would be taking place so we expected that there were more from the press conference on that don't travel only say that he was very confident that a deal could be worked out with the united kingdom there had been some concern that the u.k. would not be as strict as the united states had been in combating wall way of pushing back on wall way but it seems that those concerns and whatever discussions
6:10 pm
were taking place seem to be alleviated the president saying in fact that he thinks that there will be no problem with that we have an agreement a while way but as john hall said earlier very thin on the details so that's the other headline here the united states many watching for maybe not getting the answers they had hoped would come out of that press conference ok you can really help thankyou for. for more on that if we can speak to think clemens is the editor at large of the u.s. political publication the hill he's joining us from washington as well and so what have you been looking out for and how would you assess what's happened so far at the press conference anything particular that stood out for you. well look i think i think the broad side i think kimberly did a good job catching a synopsis but the broad side is this relationship which used to be close joined at the hip and completely reliable is now a fake relationship where there's so much distrust and you can see it in the
6:11 pm
posture in the body language of theresa may the outgoing prime minister i think i think donald trump's comments about british domestic politics both about bret's it about the mayor of london and about boris johnson are completely inappropriate they are they they are he is meddling in british domestic politics in very inappropriate ways and i think a lot of people are trying to gloss over it and say it's really not that significant it is created a breach of trust between the united states in the united kingdom and i think it's it's embarrassing for this country so you're surprised then that he's weighing in on u.k. politics what are the implications of that if any at all well i think the implications are that he does not yet understand the significance of a nation meddling in the domestic political affairs of another it's ok to talk about views and perspectives but to basically weigh in on whom he wants to handicap
6:12 pm
as the winner or loser theresa may is a leaving and the british need to sort out who would be next but that insensitivity reminds me of the insensitivity he has about the russians meddling in the american election which he continues to downplay and not take anywhere near as significantly as most every political leader in the united states so he seems to not worry about either him crossing those lines or other nations crossing those lines inside the united states and i and i think it's a significant problem and people should begin calling out the white house for an incredibly irresponsible behavior with one of our closest allies steve clemons we thank you very much for speaking to us from washington. the rest of the day's news is ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including thousands in hong kong marks 30 years since of chatham and square massacre while the rest of china ignores the anniversary also ahead. on many weddings inside the gym i can women's football campaign as i prepare for the 1st ever world cup match against brazil.
6:13 pm
to sudan where gunfire is being reported in the capital khartoum a day after a military crackdown left at least $35.00 protesters dead be head of the military says they will no longer negotiate with protesters and i've called for a general election within 9 months victoria gate and he reports. members of the sudanese paramilitary group known as the rapid support for shooting protesters in the capital khartoum the military john to has been in charge since long time president bashir was deposed in april military leaders have apologized for the killing and injuring of dozens of demonstrators on monday. on the 1st day of the festival following ramadan the crackdown appears to be continuing 2
6:14 pm
. a small number of sudanese attended the prez but most stayed at home too scared to go outside activists say the refuge support groups has surrounded mosques and representing sudanese pharmacists says are s.f. soldiers approve a king fights with medical staff outside hospitals. the military leadership says elections will be held within 9 months but protesters don't trust the john to they wanted immediate transfer of power to civilian rule and aggressive i mean we dissidents people hold the security forces accountable for the dispersal of the certain 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't keep the momentum for change going but they do have the ability to mobilize civilians not only in. not just in the 3 towns in the capital but others cities in the sudan and they also
6:15 pm
have the ability to cause a general strike which would severely. economy the justice says it's investigating why forces shot unarmed civilians that they're long running sitting at a military headquarters in khartoum 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 to be is there a un human rights agency has called on the military to return to negotiations with protesters instead of targeting the protest leaders we call on the transitional military council to reach out to them again for a renewed negotiation and a discussion about how to manage the transition of sudan to a civilian led administration the human rights grievances that led to the protest in the 1st place will not go away if the military simply decides to impose its own
6:16 pm
election schedule there needs to be a discussion about the grievances that sparked the protest in the 1st place if any transition in sudan is to be sustainable and he spoke last week to john time and he's the africa director of the watchdog organization freedom house is joining us now from washington thanks very much for being with us john time and you've put out a statement calling for an investigation into the violence and for those responsible to be held to account we've heard a lot of condemnation and we've heard the concern from countries including the united kingdom and germany but what more are they likely to do. well i think that remains one of the pivotal questions right now and unfortunately i think we're seeing very limited action from some of the countries that have long lead on diplomacy concerning sudan and that includes the united states and of course the fear is that several gulf countries in particular along with egypt are really driving the agenda here and are supporting the transitional military council
6:17 pm
in its actions and also supporting the military council financially i think one wild card is going to be the response of the african union and there was a strong statement from the african union leadership yesterday but that's a statement and now the question of action is front and center so what you're saying is there's no real political will to hold the military accountable what does that mean then for the protesters going forward why i don't think the protesters are going anywhere i think they have proven over over a number of months that they are deeply committed to the project that they have going here and so i suspect that they are right now but i suspect if they are going to return in some force as to the political will yes that's a large question mark right now and unfortunately i think you are seeing an absence
6:18 pm
of political will amongst the international community in responding to the tragic events yesterday in your latest reports you've rated sudan as not free no surprise there i suppose but just talk us through the criteria in which you reach that conclusion. wow reports assess political rights and civil liberties across the world in every country including the united states and yes sudan consistently ranks towards the bottom of those ratings for many reasons that i'm sure your viewers know with this is one of the most authoritarian countries in the world with a government that is responsible for massive levels of violence in our fore in the southern parts of the country and elsewhere and unfortunately now some of the people most responsible for that violence particularly in darfur find themselves in positions of leadership with the transitional military council all right john time
6:19 pm
and we thank you very much for speaking to us from washington. commemoration ceremonies have been held in several countries on the 30th anniversary of the chinaman square massacre in china in hong kong almost 200000 people held a candlelight vigil pro-democracy leaders spoke to the crowds wearing t. shirts which read the people will not forget the events is held every year but this time more people have attended the ceremony over concerns of china's increasing influence in the self-governing territory the bigger polland is their. 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 1909 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 1st 30 progress to be definitely important i said i forget
6:20 pm
the approach but the freedom your home 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. efficiency and i hope that. hong kong kind of a hyper democracy. they're trying to write it for you and for us. or they are speaking as sites in its grip on the city of freedom of expression and scone legal and the central government has been interfering in holding the political system and now many people in hong kong are fighting about hosni extradition law which would be the way for people to be tried in the mainland china as a picture additional system where they do in the us you in taiwan are calling for china to use the anniversary to right past wrongs china's government those that will not be lectured to free will that you don't find it china's tremendous

6:23 pm
a lot of time to reflect on whether it was all worth it i think politically or legally you or you know rationally speaking we are blameless in that part i am pretty confident but. morally i don't know that's there's another saying like what what a what if there's this one person or shot and dead were in that place because he heard a speech that given by me 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
