this is g.w. news live from berlin british american relations under strain u.s. president donald trump lashes out at the u.k. government breaks at the plant visit to britain gets off to a rocky start after he says the british government's roadmap to exit the e.u. would probably make the free trade deal with the united states impossible. plus syrian government troops recapture an office stronghold the syrian flag is raised about the city of massive protests in two thousand and eleven led to an uprising against the assad regime. and to define

a headscarf long news meets the iranian women who are facing trial for not wearing a job and public. someone's got a good to have you with us at the start of his four day visit to the u.k. the us president was invited to a dinner hosted by the british prime minister but at that very moment an interview with donald trump was published in which he blamed theresa may for quote wrecking brags that trump said may's plans for a business friendly exit from the you would leave it to close to the bloc he also questioned whether there could be a special u.s. britain trade deal in the wake of a so-called soft words that in the interview he said quote i would have done it much differently i actually told me how to do it but she didn't listen to me. now his comments come after several to mulch was days for may two senior ministers

resigned in protest over her plans for trade with the e.u. after the u.k. leaves the bloc next march well let's go right to our correspondent burgard mosse who is in london following all of this for us hybrid so donald trump was having dinner with three some may when this interview with the sun went online what we action has there been from the british prime minister i don't think has been no official reaction from the british prime minister i guess you need some time to digest it and think about it really diplomatic way to move this day forward because they are going to spend quite a chunk of the day together and to to move all being well really she really. like this is going to be it's going to be very tricky so let's see whether she maintains a british sense of humor about this and very good there is a lot to digest the u.s. president didn't just weigh in on teresa mayes breaks that strategy he also had a tip for her successor might be in the interview with the son the u.s. president praised the former foreign secretary boris johnson saying here quote i

think he would be a great prime minister i think he's got what it takes and he also said he had a lot of respect for johnson and was sad that he had stepped down so bigger with all of this taking place what can we expect from the trump may talks. well i mean in a way it's not completely unexpected i guess the way in which he said it in the blog manner is probably for british people a little bit unexpected however the substance of it does have known context to bracks it is always been an advocate of rex's. that he praises the great city is in itself not not astonishing however to reason may was hoping to get something out of trying donald trump in terms of trade and this is something that he's also said is going to be tricky after this so for me it seems almost like he's being in touch with the british cities and they maybe they even all seem to you to have a negative reaction like this because we've seen the british white paper we've seen

the way that reason they want to go about brakes and we know a little more finally but it doesn't take no for donald trump to weigh in and criticize him for it also saying that he would have done it better so it almost seems like some sort of cordon they said action which will be very disappointing for that reason maybe because she was hoping to get something out of the maternal charm in terms of moving forward with the u.s. u.k. trade agreement in the future and burkett as you've been speaking we've seen a comment come through from a may spokesman saying that teresa mayes looking forward to sitting down with donald trump to talk him through the brakes at negotiating stance so that's the first statement we've seen so far also tell us about the huge protests expected to take place in london today. well years huge protests wherever donald trump goes not just in london but later on also in windsor that he's going to travel to scotland also in other cities of the u.k. people are expressing their displeasure with the u.s. president here i am in front of parliament is going to be the scene in the next

hours huge bellew the trump state balloon a so-called baby blimp is going to go up and there's something that makes the u.s. president not very happy it depicts him as a baby and that nice yeah he doesn't feel welcome he said when he knows that there are protests like this but he will have to live with it he's not going to come very close to the protesters he's not going to be here in parliament he's going to be shipped off in the way outside london most of the day is going to need to resume a check us in the countryside where they're going to hold political talks and where as you just said to reason may we'll try and talk him through the complexities of bricks it and then he's going to have to do with the queen that again is in windsor so they will be behind thick walls the protesters will not be able to get anywhere near the american president and then later on he's going to travel to scotland and he's going to visit his gold result and people have said that they will. at the

barrier as they will try and get as close as they can and they've been quite creative of late in scotland so let's see what they what kind of welcome they will give to the u.s. president or i did have his burger at mass there covering donald trump's visit to the u.k. for us there thank you very much. and we'll have more on what prompted donald trump to accused theresa may have being too soft on drugs that that's coming up with monica in business a little later now it was arguably the most divisive summit in nato sixty nine year history and it ended with as much turmoil as it begun that's because u.s. president trump spend most of the two days lambasting nato members for not spending enough on defense especially germany it was an emergency session in which trump reaffirmed his commitment to the alliance and said that the allies had all agreed to increase their budget contributions. true to form u.s. president trump taking center stage at an old press conference trump ailes the nato

summit is a big success we're very happy and have a very very powerful very very strong much stronger than it was two days ago. but not everyone's as happy as he thinks trump ruffled more than a few nater feathers with an apparent threat to leave the alliance if other countries fail to increase defense spending later backtracked speaking of the u.s. a strong commitment to nato. are you still threatening to potentially pull the united states out of nato i think it probably can but that's unnecessary and the people have stepped up today like they've never stepped up before trumps determination to get his way on spending also disrupted a meeting about ukraine and georgia non nato members were forced to leave the room as the hour escalated it. it was

a little tough for a little while. leaders were even confronted with a new spending target when trump tweeted that commitments must go up to four percent. but nato allies said they remained committed to a twenty four team deal. speaking for germany has made it clear that we know we have to do new york and to change of direction started a long time ago. leaving the summit trump said he was happy with the tremendous progress that has been made over the two days but other leaders late to deny they caved in to trump's demands. let's catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world interior ministers have been trying to hammer out a common plan on migration at a meeting in innsbrook in austria their aid is to strengthen the blocks extra no borders and come back people smuggling the interior ministers of italy austria and

germany want tighter e.u. wide asylum policies but others are concerned about the impact that would have on human rights. chile and police have arrested former catholic priest oscar munoz in january when you know submitted to having sexually abused children this is the first arrest to be made since authorities launched a major investigation into abuse cases in the church earlier this year prosecutors say there are more than five victims and thousands of people in that there are nicaraguans capital managua have taken to the streets in fresh protest demanding that president donnie are paid to resign opposition activists have planned another two days of demonstrations amid fears of brutal government suppression at least two hundred people have been killed in protests since april. in syria state television reported that government forces have raised the national flag over parts of daraa city that had previously been in rebel hands for years the flag was raised over the post office which is the only government building in the area of the raw in the south of the country was the birthplace of the end up rising in two thousand

and eleven and is one of the last rebel strongholds. a look at the latest with correspondent standing by for us in beirut so do syrian government forces now have control of daraa. well absolutely the sitting government has control of that up a lot of people moved deeper into the territory of closer to the border they share with jordan have started returning all the rebels have agreed to evacuate and soon we see them being bussed out this is being done just as in the local and in with mediation by regimes backwards russia so that is firmly back on the syrian regime is going to go on until we mentioned this was the birthplace of the anti us about our pricing tell us how significant this is where this is. very symbolic i mean in march in two thousand and eleven this is where the uprising against bashar

al assad begin also the goals there were protests in damascus as well but this is where a brazing big be it and that happened because a group of teenagers do graffiti on the wall ridge read your turn now dr lined up to one of the one of imagination leader because of the arab spring we have been ousted they wanted. to gorge on the bar and then the regime allegedly arrested these teenagers allegedly tortured them that led to thousands of people marching on the streets and now when the regime we calls are going back in a lot of people that we're speaking to a lot of people who had supported the border s. against the regime obviously feel very disappointed. certainly firmly back in control so it's a huge symbolic victory because this is seen as the creedal sort of see of the uprising and does this mean that the assad regime is then ever closer to a complete military victory. absolutely does and that's been clear ever since they

won a level and then they went and now they've gone for and that are and there's really been no stopping them has there now russia's been backing the assad regime the levels have not completely to see the kind of backing they were hoping for that is for a variety of reasons because a levels and among themselves are by the divided many are extremists many are conservatives those who are seen as either to be moderate are also have problems with their backers so there are several issues with the opposition forces themselves but yes assad is certainly firmly back in control of syria except for live and the kurdish controlled areas in the east he's had a curious understanding with the kurds we don't know how that's going to work out but after. that are now going to set his eyes to what's it lived where all of the people who didn't want to stay under evacuation were bussed to our correspondent reporting for us from beirut until thank you very much toure and now

we're several women and girls have lunch protests against the government's compulsory headscarf law some have been removing their he jobs in public and waving them in the air calling their movement girls of revolution street tehran has crackdown arresting several protesters we spoke to two women who are free on bail waiting for their trial. nargus hussein is apologizing to her mother i'm sorry i made you worry she says but you should have known what i was doing. her mother response did you think i didn't mind it almost seems like you enjoy being in prison. today mother and daughter can joke about it but a few months ago it was no laughing matter husseini had demonstrated in public against the obligatory islamic headscarf at home i also protested when my parents tried telling me what i was allowed to wear until two years ago and wear the full body should or should i love my family and i didn't want to fight with them it took

a long time to persuade them and it was hard work. but in the end i achieved my goal. better than. one day she came across a website called the girls of revolution street launched in twenty seventeen it brought together women from across iran who were taking to the streets to protest the compulsory huge oblong they stood waving white headscarf tied to. this idea of a peaceful protest appealed to her. but i felt that if i was going to do something to further women's rights then i needed to do it right now. and it was such a peaceful protest it wasn't something that felt frightening the main thing i was worried about is whether or not a climb up on top of one of those electric boxes. on january twenty ninth

she waved her headscarf in toronto open ear. as. i stood there expecting to be moved along in just five minutes. i was so nervous i was shaking. and i was just waiting for a voice to say ok get down from there. eventually that's exactly what happened. she was arrested friends rallied in support while she was in detention she was given a preliminary prison sentence which she's now appealing. is a hashimi where's the hit job because she wants to even so she doesn't think women like her seine should be thrown in jail she's been campaigning for women's equality for years. after the government thinks the republic of iran will collapse if a new policy is introduced and the compulsory his job law is overturned. but iran is no different from other dynamic societies in

a state of flux if the leadership can't adjust to change it will become obsolete. knowledge that. recent statistics show seventy five percent of women in iran oppose the compulsory his job law as she may says women should be allowed to decide for themselves if they want to wear it. and if they are peaceful protesters are a good thing it's a grassroots movement they're expressing their opinion without resorting to violence and i support the girls of revolution street on your own and along. the girls of revolution street continue their peaceful protest in their own small way grasping a bit of personal freedom. but whether this freedom has a future is unclear it's one of the uncertainties of living in today's iran.

sets off from st petersburg at two o'clock in the morning it's a long journey to moscow twelve hours in a packed compartment fifty four people fit in this third class sleeping car one from mexico was at the semifinal in st petersburg he was surrounded by fans from all over the world. now he's on a train with russians heading to moscow. private plane a. real space program i like. to be on the train with some russian we are talking about what i like about his country and something like that. but now it's time to rest it's late and there's a long way to go. the next morning it's stuffy in the sleeping car. one hardly slept. others have been up for hours. the people

key elements off this paper include the so-called facilitated customs arrangement designed to avoid a hard border border in ireland as well as a free trade area in goods and agri food a brittle white abandon its close ties with the e.u. for financial services britain's biggest export industry and that would make it harder for banks to. the european single market it's amazing breaks that approach has been harshly criticized by donald trump who says a soft breaks it with close ties to the new could kill a trade deal with the united states clearly getting the best deal for the u.k. with both the e.u. and the u.s. made proved difficult. ahead of trump's arrival in london plans for a softer gregg's of maintaining close e.u. u.k. trade ties had already caused controversy the u.s. is a bastard to the u.k. woody johnson warned that that would be a u.s. u.k. trade deal in the works would now be up in the air. one deal has to come before the

other the u.k. can finalize trade packs on its own until after breaks it earlier this year free trade between london and washington see more plausible even said a deal would be agreed quickly. the e.u. is the u.k.'s most significant market but the value of u.k. exports the e.u. has stagnated in the last five years while exports the u.s. has steadily risen over the same period. london now has a very fine line to walk it has to redefine relations with two of its most important trade partners at a time when the e.u. and the u.s. are themselves at loggerheads over tariffs. while even experts could have forecast this a dramatic rise in china's exports to the united states despite the current trade conflict in june the chinese export economy and oust record results and to beijing's except last with the us hit an all time high more than twenty nine

billion dollars experts say it's due to u.s. businesses preparing for the new terra's introduced in july two weeks ago the u.s. slapped tariffs on chinese imports of the tune of thirty four billion dollars and president on a trump has more up his sleeve he's threatening to hit a further two hundred billion dollars of goods with a two. and of course when washington's terrorist against china to get faked that was on july the sixth china retaliated with tariffs on the very same day china is said to impact a slew of us actually cultural products and industries including a soybeans the u.s. exports fourteen billion dollars worth of soybeans to china annually according to the u.s. department of agriculture a china says the trade war doesn't amount to a hill of beans for him. oh in vail louisiana is soybean country raymond checks knight a says his crop is coming in oh well this year. it will relook at

being but if the train spat between the united states and china doesn't tend soon his market is gone six nye just says he could lose more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars thanks to the twenty five percent china slapped on u.s. imports in response to trump's tariffs. i don't know if we realize from the start how big of a buyer drano was. you know everybody talk about the imbalance in trade but this was a really big. big deal big deal. china is louisiana's biggest export market roughly fifteen thousand jobs depend on the states agricultural exports to china meanwhile beijing says the trade conflict will have limited impact on the chinese soybean market in twenty seventeen most imports came from brazil and argentina and in early july china removed tariffs on soybean imports from some asian countries may only way that oh well no one without us soybeans we can import

soybeans from south america and countries along bills and road routes to meet our needs and at present it's a small being reserves are abundant. meet the requirements of the country at any time to ensure market stability so use by. yeah well the city. analysts say the chinese targeted soybeans because the plant is grown in many states that voted for donald trump in twenty sixteen for a large number of u.s. soybean farm as the decisions made by the white house signal bankruptcy. africa's fastest growing city has just opened a new light rail network a system in nigeria's capital abuja was one of president. key compay promises of the project also shows how chinese therms are muscling in way europeans and u.s. firms have neglected to try it. it's hoped that the new rail network will ease to

just notorious traffic a bridge or was declared nigeria's capital four decades ago since then the city's rapid population growth has outstripped infrastructure and the city is regularly in gridlock a budget depends on its airport to link it with the country's economic capital largo's eight hundred kilometers away nigeria's government hopes the trains will make travel in and out of the city easier. it's also a little to the airport so people want to get to the airport so this is really the mess you need to do is reduce travel times for a lot of. it should also ease the movement of people living in the just satellite communities as planned new industrial estates of guilt. some areas of the city are expanding by as much as thirty percent per year central of bush's population more than doubles during the day as people flooded in looking for work. in.

the walk us. an easy as it is to walk. this is the wall. the light rail system was originally supposed to open four years ago the construction contract was awarded to china civil engineering construction corp but the project was delayed because the nigerian government was unable to pay its share of the costs. and here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you u.s. president on a tram says a free trade deal with the united kingdom is almost impossible if the british government's plan to leave the european union goes and. you're watching the news coming live from will be back with the latest at the top of the hour to them.
