the greatest moment use of the earth and that's ok. you can have something from the. stock divisions within nato come to the fore as u.s. president donald trump and his french counterpart emmanuel michel meet to discuss contentious issues. play watching al-jazeera live from doha with me fully back he will hold still ahead for the 1st time iran's government acknowledges its security forces killed people

it calls rioters during recent protests a powerful typhoon rips through the philippines damaging homes and forcing sols and evacuate and disabled in a country at war we'll look at the plight of yemen's most vulnerable people. it was a blistering press conference between us president donald trump and france's leader emmanuel mccall and that just ended in the past hour the 2 leaders have been sparing over a trade tariffs security and other issues but they both agreed on one thing and that's the future of nato and what needs to be done to achieve long term peace in europe my komo stood by his comment about the 70 year old alliance being quote brain dead. i knew that night my statements read some reactions shake a little beat a lot of people and i felt mine and i have to say when you look at one what need to

even shoot the 1st full season delusion and play them for them to remind you some figures but when we think about it and it's not just about money. we have to be respectful it is all soldiers it's a full burden we share so for us coffee is also all those things. and i do believe that in such simple terms we do the. less we have to pay for police security. the president i i think you know that we need more flexibility and i think we both agree on that so we didn't use it for other things time chose. what was specifically targeting a lot of people say it was better to look at originally in the soviet union now russia but we also have other things to look at whether it's the radical islamic terrorist over there is a tremendous growth of china. live to algis there is john holmes outside the u.s.

ambassador's residence in london where that meeting took place some interesting dynamics eleanor what are we to make of the relationship between these terrible this. one on the face of that quite lengthy appearance in the relationship isn't too good i mean these are 2 men who claim to get on very well rather donald trump says he gets on very well with emanuel macron but it was precious little evidence on display there donald trump lashing out in various different directions with the threat of further trade tariffs to be applied against france's plan for a digital taxi use plan for digital tax on us technologies companies trade tariffs to be applied to try and extract from france in particular and other nato members yet more money for their collective defense and so on and mr macron responding by absolutely sticking to his guns saying he will stand by his for months ahead of this meeting that will have enraged donald trump that nato is on

the verge of being brain dead because of its inability to cooperate and coordinate amongst its members taking particular aim in that at donald trump's unilateralist policy in northern syria pulling u.s. troops out taking particular i'm at turkey's policy in northern syria condoned by the americans moving in and taking up arms against the kurds in northern syria and he is flatly rejecting all of these things and also course mr earlier ones threats to undermine the collective syrian security of nato by standing in the way of the protection for the protection of the baltic states against russia unless nato falls into line and supports turkey's presence in northern syria mr micron here clearly putting turkey front and center as the bone of contention at this meeting and in terms of any future discussions about turkey moving forward he wants to see things change he said we need to. decide what nato should be we have to be clear it's not

enough just to talk about money the common enemy is international security but we don't have common definitions about what that means turkey is now fighting fighters who were shoulder to shoulder with the western alliance against i still just 2 months ago these are the real issues he said so he is standing against erdogan very firmly donald trump is not backing away from mr erdogan still defending him they are at loggerheads and this i think is the substance of a very bad tempered encounter today and one which will continue take a listen for some substance of the real bristling tensions between the 2 men to this. nomination in the state the number one problem in armor for a fight this is the kind of criticism. and you have gone off by this used as a reason to think this is where he's a great politician because i was one of the greatest non-answers over there and that's ok because sometimes there are day to day you can have some sort of vision from the you he decided i don't think the president would run for president to say

this is your about responsibility i'm sorry to say that. we have some awful people but if you don't you get really because he's the number one. know to be able to do is really this is why we started this because of our our nation has to be i think if any of the community was doing he you know he has moved. as he said jonah the dispute with turkey brewing within the alliance and we're going to listen now to present russia typewriter one who earlier warned that he will pose as you said a major nato defense ban if member states refuse to recognize kurdish fighters in syria as terrorists let's listen to the president. to get that in the kind of than an nato needs to act in a proactive manner against threats proposed by the terrorist organizations it's inevitable that nato is in need of readjusting itself against today's terrorist

threats we expect our allies to display strong cooperation with us against the threats we're facing. so jonah tell us more about how president are the ones threat is being received and can they find a middle ground on turkey. well let's look in a broader sense it's going to be received very poorly indeed and we've heard emanuel not problems we wanted president only one turkey is a member of nato members of nato have a responsibility for the collective defense of other members of nato the baltic states are members of nato and mr erdogan is here saying i will not approve or i will stand in the way of further measures to protect the baltics if you don't fall into line behind me and my version of terrorism that is not going to go down well in nature without the united states the most powerful member of nato donald trump of course backs on and he's continuing to support live on misurata on in this stuff so you know all of this really brings to light conflicting interests between the

united states and turkey the united states and france turkey and the rest of nato an alliance set up 70 years ago. against a unified threat from the soviet union a threat which has not changed with the times it's russia it's china it's cyber security it's islamic terrorism no longer a 0 sum game between 2 sides now a multiple game between multiple sides and multiple interests this alliance is supposed to be celebrating 70 years of unity here i think is going to be precious little time for that thank you for that john hall live for us in london. now president is in london in the middle of an election campaign the opposition candidates have been attacking britain's prime minister warns johnson for his close relationship with the us president let's go to nadine baba who's at a protest in london's trafalgar square a protest against the u.s. president who is at this protest. who fully there's

a whole range of people as you might expect any visit by the u.s. president will attract a whole variety of campaign groups we've got people with banners saying no to war on iran a reference to the u.s. pressure recently against the iranian government after. president trying to get the u.s. out of that nuclear deal the campaign for nuclear disarmament to his saying no to trump's nuclear weapons race there are people concerned about what might happen to food standards and regulations after breck's it if britain were in some people's eyes forced to adapt to u.s. standards and then we expect perhaps the largest contingent i've seen a few of them among the several 100 people here. star for employee employed by the national health service that has become the number one issue for the british public in the upcoming general election so it's very very important that's partly why as

you were furring to jeremy corbyn the leader of the labor party has been pressing the point that donald trump and boris johnson see eye to eye why is that because those n.h.s. stuff the nurses and doctors who are going to be marching from here trafalgar square to buckingham palace in the next couple of hours for the reception by queen elizabeth for the nato leaders. the the feeling is that despite president trump's insistence on tuesday that the n.h.s. would not be part of any trade deal in future there in fact the ball is already rolling jeremy cole been released if you like or brought to the public's attention some documents already that were out there online where u.k. officials have been seem to be talking to their american counterparts about things like drug pricing and there are admissions from some here in boris johnson's own policy that the price that the n.h.s.

pays for some medication could go up under a future trade deal the idea being that america will be able to push the u.k. to get its own way boris johnson says that's not the case donald trump says he wouldn't know why anyone raises the point but just a few months ago he himself said in london or in britain rather that everything would have to be on the table if there are any missteps by president or boris johnson in the next couple of days that could knock the election prospects of the conservative party too just to remind you are well ahead right now thank you for that john hall live for us in london let's turn our attention to other world news now any rainy and state television has acknowledged for the 1st time that people it describes as rioters were shot and killed during recent protests thousands of people joined demonstrations angry over an increase in petrol prices which are set

by the government here in rice called say as many as $200.00 people were killed iran's government has rejected that figure putting the death toll at 13 as a bank has more on tehran's acknowledgements security forces shot protests. the iranian official figure has pretty much remained the same but this is the 1st acknowledgement by the iranians that security forces killed protesters now this was on state media it was a lengthy report around 7 minutes long and it was very much the iranian government's version of events and the defense of the security forces the report acknowledged that there were demonstrations across the country. shiraz and even here in iran but also categorized those that were killed it called some of them and rioters bridge knives and guns that attacked military centers it said that some were peaceful protesters others were passes by and some security forces and they didn't say how those passes by and civilians those peaceful protesters were

killed although the spokesman for the judiciary this morning has said that it was suspicious and those bullets that killed those people weren't from the scooter forces but they also said that there were people killed in the south western city of masha had read there is an arab population now the report called them separatists said that they were with guns and that they fired on security services and the security services were forced to fire back and defend themselves now very much this report that was carried on state media is saying that the security forces intervened used force to protect lives they say that right as a dogs were attempting to set fire to petrochemical plants that could have risked many lives and the report also carried interviews with what they say were people within the neighborhood who said that look we're grateful for the scooter services intervening because many lives could have been at risk. still ahead on al jazeera

. the fight against climate change starts here on the edges of the sahara desert villages from planting trees they want to save their homes and farmland from the expanding desert. for this forest ranger there's a sense of looming catastrophe. so we are in a situation of grave danger if we don't plant trees we won't get the range they need to cultivate it will reduce rains have we need water to feed animals and grow food otherwise people will move. and they have already started across the cattle herders are on the move there mainly from the full ethnic group and are looking for a more temperate climate to feed their animals. that's like the conflict that's fueled by armed groups such as. in the slum it might grab thousands of people have been killed in the sahara in the fighting in the past year alone but not in senegal such a good job he believes that's because of this tree planting project in 2007 senegal

was among 11 african countries that pledged to plant trees and what they called a great green wall from the east to the west of the continent but 10 years on most of the countries involved have dropped out because many of the trees have been killed by drought termites and increasingly inhospitable climate temperatures are rising in rainfall dropping. experts say that if all the trees that were planted for the last 40 years had survived then this would look like the amazon forest well instead it looks more like this the aim of the program is no longer to build the great green wall because the desert is moving forward but rather to find a solution so that the communities here can adapt to the changing climate. for senegal this green wall is a long term investment for future generations achieving success now depends on finding species of trees that can be adapted to this environment. polluting

countries are investing in the green wall to offset their carbon emissions or climate marketing schemes but by 2050 the global temperatures is predicted to rise by 2 degrees the desert is rapidly expanding and the villagers here say they're racing against time to save their homes and strengthen the front line in the fight against climate change nicholas hawk senegal. hello again i'm fully back to bill with the headlines on al-jazeera divisions between the u.s. and its european allies france on full display ad of a crucial nato meeting president trump in france says leader. sparing over trade taxes and the fight against but they agreed on the need to broaden the scope of nato. i don't use it as a mark my statement created some reactions shake
