9:02 pm
reason may on the 2nd day of his state visit he seemed to brush over disagreements about the chinese telecoms giant wall way but was happy to discuss who mrs may's successor should be let's take you live to algiers jonah hall he's outside the prime minister's residence in downing street in jeddah to what extent were those talks earlier complicated by the fact that the reason maze premiership of course is almost over. i don't think there were complicated at all good natured i'm sure possibly a little dull and lacking in ambition there is after all a limit to the amount of business that can be done with a prime minister rapidly reaching the end of her tenure there was a lot of talk of a post briggs it trade deal of course very very substantial phenomenal just some of the terms and phrases deployed by donald trump to describe the deal that he wants to see done to resume a in the post meeting press conference was asked whether she would heed the president's earlier vice and stick around to see a deal done she said she was

a woman of her word which means she will as planned and promised on friday be stepping down as leader of hope party will be a new prime minister in place by the end of july. in other circumstances would be a significant meeting was on this occasion far more low key the u.s. president alongside a british prime minister on the verge of stepping down for the past 2 and a half years the president and i have had the privilege of being the latest guardians of this precious and profound friendship between our countries there was no avoiding breaks it and opposed trade deal between the 2 countries donald trump is a big fan of both i would say 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
9:04 pm
a special place on the topline point of contention between the 2 sides the role of while away the chinese telecoms giant in building the u.k.'s 5 g. network president trump seemed to brush the issue aside there will be an agreement he said not to worry he seemed to imply leave it to mrs may's successor on which point the president has made his views very public indorsing top contenders boris johnson the. former foreign secretary and the current foreign secretary jeremy hunt . environment minister michael gove also a front runner he said he didn't know very well and there was talk of a one on one meeting it was as if the former reality t.v. star was back or dish candidate this time for the job of british prime minister at the business end of this state visit donald trump was most at home around a table talking deals. even the national health service he said later should be part of future trade talks look i
9:05 pm
think everything with a trade deal is on the table when you when you're dealing in trade everything's on the table so yes or anything else besides the hospitality of the queen britain once a valued ally and strategic partner is to this president it seems a deal waiting to be done. jane and i suppose that in business terms that he is a business man doing a good deal should actually mean getting to know the people in charge. yes and he's throwing himself at that task donald trump very very gristly boris johnson of course he says is an old friend a year ago don't forget when he was here donald trump indorsed boris johnson as the next prime minister only days after he'd resigned from to reserve may's cabinet jeremy hunt also indorsed michael gove's he says he doesn't know all that well even though michael gove's secured the 1st interview with donald trump for the times newspaper allegedly in the presence of times owner rupert murdoch nigel farage
9:06 pm
another controversial politician they had a one on one meeting here in donald trump also great friends one thing is that donald trump doesn't seem to have counted in the fact that jeremy corbin many people think could be a future prime minister many people indeed see him as a prime minister in waiting at the next general election donald trump has written him off as a negative force so it seems on that basis at least that the president doesn't have all his bases covered gena in central london in fact in downing street thank you. well earlier several 1000 demonstrators marched through central london in protest against the u.s. president's visits the infamous trump baby balloon was also flown in parliament square but trying to dismiss the demonstrations as a small protest and claimed he'd seen cheering crowds out as it was put gravel was that. it was billed as a carnival of resistance and the demonstrations certainly could elements of

be where the whole wonderful mosaic of diversity and inclusion that we represent from this demonstrations of i. isolated confrontations between protesters and some vocal pro trump individuals but they were quickly contained. protest organizers had anticipated the degree of outrage for teagan certainly the numbers on this protest are a fraction of the 250000 the turned out when president last came to london in 2018 on the last visit to the us president has succeeded in uniting a kaleidoscope of different courses from pro-feminist the fascists. when he was asked by journalists about the protests outside president trump claimed to have seen only cheering supporters the demonstration he said was a small protest and the media attention obvious fake news i don't see any protests
9:09 pm
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 for the most part the public is being kept well back from the president and his entourage but if president trump was really of little use to the chorus of his motorcade left downing street it can only have been because of the remarkable sound proofing of his official limousine. brennan al-jazeera central london. or other from here in london let's go to doha and during for the rest of the day's felicity thank you very much also donz opposition leaders have rejected a plan by the military rulers to hold elections within 9 months the gentile made the announcement a day after paramilitary troops stormed a protest camp leaving at least $35.00 people dead victoria again be reports.

9:20 pm
against further pardons absent evidence of innocence or in justice the wholesale pardon of u.s. service members accused of war crimes signals out troops and allies but we don't take the law of armed conflict seriously he says another pardon and a possible presidential consideration involves even more than chain of command issues these 4 security guards were convicted of killing 14 iraqis in what the prosecution said was indiscriminate fire on a civilian crowd in iraq in september 2007 they were employed by the blackwater company headed at the time by erik prince a declared friend to the president and brother of education secretary betsy to posts it's another instance of a pardon disrupting the system. or like this time it's the federal system who was already convicted and sentenced there's clearly support for war crimes pardons

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. iran's supreme leader has vowed his country will stand its ground against u.s. intimidation i it's a lot of how many were speaking on the anniversary of the death of the cleric who took over after the 1979 islamic revolution samus ravi is into one. it's been 30 years since the death of ayatollah ruhollah khomeini the 1st supreme leader of the islamic republic of iran speaking from his shrine iran's current supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei i took the opportunity to remind iranians of the legacy of resilience and resistance they've inherited from their founding father if you take a step back he said the enemy will move forward the only way to stop aggressors is to stand your ground no doubt a message to his people on how to deal with the united states he also said giving in to american demands was no way to deal with
9:33 pm
a nation he considers to be in decline and miss him would be on as. the way insects eat away at would so too are american institutions and pillars also falling apart this is true economically and socially just like a termite eating away at their pillars if there is one reason for this is the selection of a person like donald trump electing mr trump is an indication of u.s. decline that the destiny of more than 300000000 people is being decided by such a person shows american political decline inside america people doubt his mental health when someone like him is voted in it reflects the moral and political decline of the country how many admitted the iranian people are paying a high price for the policy of resisting american pressure but he said the political economic and military deterrence that iran is building will serve the purpose of discouraging iran's enemies referring to iran's missile capabilities
9:34 pm
come in they said militarily speaking iran had reached a turning point but there was also a moment when the supreme leader seemed to course correct a mention of war with the united states when the crowd began. american slogans and saying fight america hominidae said he wasn't talking about fighting we're not there yet he said and urged the crowd to pay closer attention to what he was trying to say he also had some advice for iranian officials telling them to put an end to factionalism and infighting and instead focus on the main issues of repairing and strengthening iran's economy a task easier said than done 30 years after khomeini's death iran is still facing off with the united states still fairly isolated on the international stage and economically in a constant fight for survival so while the crowd in attendance was vocally supportive of company's message of continued resistance it might be a harder sell to those iranians that were not in the room. all the mexican president's plans for his country his drugs policy is perhaps the most of face of.
9:35 pm
lopez obrador is proposing to decriminalize all narcotics as part of reforms he's post since coming to office 6 months ago. joining us from mexico city so how likely is that policy of decriminalization to actually go into effect. durian the policy of decriminalization is certainly the most controversial one that we've seen come out of the new presidential administration in mexico but a real plan for decriminalization is something little more than a blurb in the larger national development plan that president lopez obrador that has for the next 6 years here in mexico any sort of legalization efforts or or legislation itself would actually have to come from the mexican senate however having that said there are still plenty of people who feel is the legalization is right around the corner take a look. at. this indoor garden consists of about
9:36 pm
a dozen marijuana plants. they're being grown in a spare bedroom of an apartment near downtown mexico city looking for this the grower will call him carlos has asked us to hide his identity but he is happy to show off his plants which he says are only for personal consumption. the main reason i know my own parents is because i don't want to be involved in a game of violence and drug trafficking or not really knowing what i'm smoking. mexico city has some of the most relaxed marijuana laws in the country but it is still illegal to buy or sell the drug part of president and his over those national development plan a strategy that includes reducing violence over the next 6 years seeks to legalize marijuana use the plan calls for an end to prohibition but not just of marijuana all drugs loath to lead them on those who say that simply legalizing drugs will reduce violence in the country will have no idea what they're talking about that
9:37 pm
will really clearly not everyone is on board with the idea in fact even experts who agree that a drastic change in drug policy is the need to hold off and say the same thing that lopez a brother was proposing a strategy that lacks any sort of strategy at all data no specific plan the problem that means when you have to do something like these you have to be already clear about. well you try to. how you want to unlike allies we talk to you try to address the problem how much will cost the problem or if you try to explain or you try to address by the health system. another controversial aspect of the legalization idea is ending the maybe the initiative a partnership between the u.s. and mexico that has directed some $3000000000.00 to fund the drug war since 2008 the united states has approved $145000000.00 in 2019 to be directed toward mexico
9:38 pm
under the media initiative money that's expected to be used encounter nor katic so operations president love is over the hopes that the united states will redirect those funds toward development and drug rehabilitation programs so. it remains unclear whether the u.s. would agree to the mexican president's offer to end the drug war but it's also not the type of policy that could be applied overnight to new. private growers like carlos say legalization is inevitable for now he's trying to perfect the growing process so he can launch a legitimate marijuana business if and when the mexican government makes it legal and of course the other issue he's facing. the violence in mexico any indication that he's making any progress on that front. that's right to remain and that goes absolutely hand in hand with the issue of the cartels and the issue of legalization thing is that it depends on who you ask that question
9:39 pm
to if you ask someone who works in government works in administration someone who is working. in terms of implementation of these new policies in terms of implementation of these changes in direction that the government is going they'll say that these are changing that things will change that things will get better that it's only been 6 months since the start of this new presidential administration and on the other hand if you speak to someone who is familiar with the numbers who knows the statistics of violence in this country that will tell you that last year 2800 was a record setting your for homicides and violence in cunt in in mexico with more than 33000 violent homicides nationwide and this year is already on track to surpass that number so is the president trying new things is lopez obrador changing old policies and trying different ways of addressing the issue of violence and drug traffic in the country the answer is yes but if you look at the numbers if the question is is progress being made the numbers tell a slightly different story all right thank you for that update from mexico city 2
