welcome to bbc news. i'm mike embley. our top stories: on the second day of his state visit to the uk, president trump promises a "phenomenal" trade deal with the us, after brexit. there've been anti—trump protests in london, and other cities, but he's dismissed them as "fa ke news. " sudan's security forces crack down on protests, sparking international condemnation. more than 30 people were killed on monday. a health crisis in the democratic republic of congo as ebola cases pass 2,000, doubling injust two months. and, marking the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings, we look back at the world's biggest—ever seaborne attack.

hello. president trump has promised what he called a "phenomenal" trade deal between the us and uk, but then caused some political uproar by suggesting "everything is on the table" for negotiation, including britain's national health service. in a later interview he's since backtracked on that. there were more protests on the second day of his state visit, although the president claimed they didn't happen, calling reports about them "fa ke news. " 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg reports on the day's events. he always draws a crowd. but doesn't always please them. when the president comes to town, controversy is never far. the prime minister was his first international guest at the white house.

this kodak moment for the mays and trumps will be one of her last. a press conference with donald trump on a momentous occasion, a grand leaving do for theresa may. clear even from the niceties, the two have sometimes clashed. i've always talked openly with you donald, when we have taken a different approach and you have done the same with me. i've always believed cooperation and compromise are the basis of strong alliances and nowhere is this more true than in the special relationship. for any british and american pair, this relationship matters, but nothing ever knowingly undersold by donald trump. prime minister may, it's been a true honour and i've greatly enjoyed working with you, you are a tremendous professional and a person who loves your country dearly, thank you very much, really an honour. the american and the british people, it's the greatest alliance the world has ever known.

thank you, prime minister, thank you. as the uk stumbles towards leaving the eu, the president has questioned the prime minister's approach. i seem to remember the president recommending i sued the european union, which i didn't do, we went into negotiations and i came out with a good deal. 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. 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. when you're dealing in trade, everything is on the table, so nhs or anything else, or a lot more than that. that is one of the things thousands in westminster would rail against, though. these protests weren't fake news, as the president claimed, although there were pockets of support for him and the crowds much smaller than last time.

leading the charge, though, the labour leader, who refused last night to go to the queen's dinner in honour of donald trump. together we can make a big difference. together, we can change this world. together, we can bring about that peace and justice and by our demonstration here today, we have shown just how determined we all of us are to achieve that better place and that better world! cheering. but then it emerged from the president's lips, mr corbyn had asked to see him after all. i don't knowjeremy corbyn, never met him, never spoke to him. he wanted to meet today 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 criticise.

i really don't like critics as much as i like and respect people that get things done. it's not all straightforward between the tories and mr trump, though. tensions over iran, climate change — factors his next opposite number will have to confront, but who? so i know boris, i like him, i've liked him for a long time. i think he would do a very good job. i knowjeremy, ithink he would do a good job. i don't know michael, would he do a good job, jeremy, tell me? all too much finally, perhaps, for mr may. always an unlikely pair, perhaps. 0ne shameless, one shy. time is nearly up on this particular duo. the motorcade, of course, as always, will roll on. theresa may and donald trump are very different characters, very different leaders and even the careful choreography of a state visit like this can't mask

the fractures and the difficulties between the united states and the united kingdom. but this of course is a relationship that will matter for longer and will last longer than two occupants will stay in office. some of the contenders for number ten might meet donald trump while he's here, but who was snapped on the way to see him first tonight? an old friend, nigel farage. however straight the line—up tonight, though, this president glories in going over the edge. whoever is the prime minister next will encounter an ally who might love appearing proper, but is properly unpredictable, too. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. and for more on the president trump's state visit, including all the latest pictures, head to our website bbc.com/news. you an also download the bbc news app. let's get some of the day's other news. tens of thousands of people have

dug out for building. here, in a remote corner of kenya, is stage one of a $25.5 billion project — a superport, an oil terminal, road and railway links, an airport, a resort city, and a coal—fired power station. this is the area allocated for the power station. the locals call it ‘the box'. many have been evicted, but some are hanging on, waiting for compensation. "we were told we'd be paid and moved to another piece of land," he said. "but up till now, we've not been paid." they are growing maize for food and to pay for the children's education in the meantime. and in lamu town, there is a worry about the impact on the air, the ocean and the culture. this is lamu, a world heritage site... raya and other activists have been challenging the development throughout, especially the power station. we are wondering why they want to implement this project,

because we have signed a green agreement at paris. our president signed that, but down here they want to implement this disastrous project, and we are really worried. and this is not something that is unique to kenya. around the world at the moment, there are hundreds of coal—fired power stations being planned or being built, despite the various international commitments to combating climate change. stop the construction of new coal plants by 2020. we want a green economy, not a grey economy, in the world. the kenyan government wouldn't comment on a case still being challenged in court. but if built, it'll increase the country's carbon emissions sevenfold, breaking a promise to cut them, and it'll have even more impact on this historic place. alastair leithead, bbc news, lamu island.

the chinese cartoonist known as badiucao became notorious for his drawings, making fun of the political elite. then he began to feel threatened by chinese officials, cancelled shows he'd planned in hong kong and finally went to live undercover in australia. now he feels he can make his true identity public. there are multiple ways the chinese government is hunting down people who dare to speak up.

two policemen from china went to my family in shanghai. they threatened my family members, in order to shut down the exhibition. they also said that they were sending two police officers to hong kong if i decide the show is proceeding, hurting the ones you love in order to keep you in check, in order to stop you speaking up. i have suspicious followers on the street that i cannot really tell if they are just tourists, or actually sent by the chinese government.

for me, it's a great echoing to those young students who sacrificed their lives during the movement, who are using their bodies and souls to demonstrate to the world that chinese are just as sane as any people in this world, that we are demanding freedom and democracy. my work is purely nonviolent. it'sjust a message. any rational government should not be afraid of it.

still drawing, still speaking out. as we've been reporting, president trump and prime minister theresa may head to portsmouth on wednesday for events to mark the 75th anniversary of d—day. landing more than 150,000 allied troops in france helped open the door to victory over the nazis. the cost in human lives was colossal, of course, but d—day could never have happened at all without months of detailed planning and accurate intelligence, as robert hall reports. the beaches of normandy in 19114 saw the largest seaborne attack ever mounted. allied commanders put the final plans in place at southwark house, hidden from public gaze in the hills behind portsmouth. the decisions that were taken here injune 19114 marked the end of the first chapter in the d—day story. the men who made those decisions did so on the basis of intelligence gathering and science. 100 miles from allied headquarters,

the codebreakers of bletchley park had been building up their picture of german readiness for over a year. in these offices, lights burned through the night as analysts trawled enemy radio messages, data that was compared with aerial photos and information from agents in france. what we are trying to do is tell the story of d—day in a film. those efforts are marked by a new exhibition which marks the complexity of the operation. intelligence is in proportion to the size of the operation. you need information on the same scale as you need troops and tanks. so, the fact the normandy campaign is such a large project means it needs a large intelligence effort as well. along the beaches, people were risking their lives to gain information on physical conditions. landing thousands of men safely here posed fresh problems. they were solved by a man

in a machine in a cellar on the wirral. this is arthur dudeson‘s tidal predictor, using information from normandy codenamed position z, are a series of cogs calculating the series of tides for the d—day period. this machine still works. modern day models do it much quicker with variables, but with the same mathematics. and this machine can still do it to a very high standard. surviving members of his team remember his total dedication. the predicting machines were his pride and joy. but it was more than that. he had the ability to analyse the tide and come up with the values to put on his machine in order to make predictions. back at southwark house, anxious eyes had turned skywards. newsreader: 0n the eve of d—day, the leaders of this great adventure. storms in the channel were threatening the entire plan. in june the fourth,

the landings were postponed. troops at sea had an uncomfortable 2a hours before the general eisenhower's chief arrived with the news there was a brief opportunity. after details in the weather, cloud, wind and visibility and so on. he turned round to me and said, if this things comes off, there will be a case of good whiskey waiting for you in a day or two. eisenhower reportedly launched overload with the words, "ok, let's go." intelligence and science have played their part, but in the end his final decision was a leap of faith. robert hall, bbc news. and just a footnote to all of that: written in the us are among 16 countries who have agreed to a joint statement to mark the anniversary. the statements as they are committed to work together to uphold the values of democracy, tolerance and the rule of law. we'll have all live coverage of all of the d—day events

on wednesday. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter, i'm @bbc mike embley. thank you for watching. hello, most parts of the uk saw some wet weather on tuesday as an area of low pressure pushed its way from south to north. the centre of the low will push increasingly out into the north sea now, as the hours go by, but it will trail weather front behind it, to keep things pretty grey and wet in the north on and off throughout the day. we also have this front to the south, and we'll see more out of that as we look to wednesday and overnight into thursday. for this morning, it's scotland and northern ireland, though, that sit under the band of cloud and rain, and for much of the day, the prospects will be rather dank. first thing, perhaps a bit of brightness for the north—east of england, some showers to the north—west, a few for north wales. some decent sunshine as we head for the south into england. a few early—morning patches

of mist are possible, but they should be fairly short—lived. and actually, for england and wales on the whole, a lot of fine weather. perhaps a bit of sunshine as well just getting into southern scotland later on in the day. just a chance of a few showers forming across the centre of the south—west peninsula, across towards 0xfordshire through the afternoon. in terms of our temperatures, just 12 there in aberdeen, perhaps up to 20 further south, where we get more in the way of sunshine. then we go through wednesday evening into thursday. remember that front down there across the continent? it looks like it's just going to bump some rain up towards the far east of england. now there is some uncertainty as to how far onshore those parts of rain will make it. if it does come onshore, it could be very heavy. at the moment, it looks like the majority will sit offshore in the north sea. actually, our wednesday night and thursday does look largely dry, but through thursday daytime, we certainly are expecting that low to track its way further north. again, the uncertainty

is in the detail as to exactly how tight into the east coast it will come, and how quickly it will move north into scotland. thursday for many will be a pretty decent day, with some bright or sunny spells, but there is a chance certainly on some of those north sea coasts for some heavier pulses of rain at times. and then, late in the day, the heavier, more persistent rain and some pretty blustery winds to make their way into scotland. scattered showers for northern ireland, too. 0ur temperatures still somewhat on the disappointing side. average values at best, perhaps a little below. that low pushes away to the north for friday, but then we're looking at another system firing up from the continent to close out our week, with almost all areas likely to see some heavy rain at some stage, and some strong and gusty winds. again, the timing will be quite difficult, because we are expecting to see these areas of low pressure firing through in quick succession. but certainly wet to the south on friday, still unsettled for the weekend.

this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump has predicted a three—fold increase in trade between britain and the us, if the two countries strike a deal after brexit. there were more protests on the second day of his state visit, although the president claimed they didn't happen, calling reports about them "fa ke news. " sudan's security forces have cracked down on protests, killing more than 30 people, in a move that's sparked international condemnation. it comes as the country's military leaders scrapped all agreements with the main opposition coalition, and called new elections. more than 2,000 cases of ebola have now been recorded in the democratic republic of the congo — two thirds of them fatal. the outbreak began last august, but recently there's been a significant spike. health workers, who are facing attacks from suspicious locals and armed rebel groups are finding up to 20 new cases a day.
