this is deja vu news live from berlin british american relations under strain u.s. president donald trump lashes out at the u.k. government brags that plans trump's 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 a free trade deal with the united states impossible. also coming up syrian government troops recapture an opposition stronghold the syrian flag is raised about the city of daraa where mass protests in two thousand and eleven led to an uprising against the assad regime and the final bronstein headscarf law did anyone

use meets the arena and women were facing trial for not wearing the job in public. i'm sorry so much going to thank you for joining 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 e.u. would leave it too close to the block he also questioned whether there could be a special u.s. britain trade deal in the wake of a so-called soft brags that now in the interview he said quote i would have done that much differently i actually told theresa may how to do it but she didn't listen to me it was comments come after several to mulcher was days from a two senior ministers resigned in protest. over her plans for trade with the e.u.

after newquay leaves the block next march ok let's check in with our correspondent in london she's standing by for us what is the fallout then from this interview. well first of all i would like to show you the newspaper sun which has this headline may has wrecked braxton and us deal itself of course this is extremely humiliating for prime minister to resign may and she has given out a statement and she has said well she's happy to sit down with donald trump and go through the white paper of course hinting that it's rather more complex than the u.s. president makes out who seems to think that well now that the reason may is trying to stay closer to the european union that would make its trade deal with the u.s. very complicated and of course it is this u.s. trade deal that is very important for its reason and that's what she was hoping to get out of this out of this visit by by president trump to have the first start of

something that goes to a much closer ties with the u.s. but now it looks like that might be tricky because there are huge protests against trump planned across the u.k. today what's going on in london where you are. well i am in london we are on palm and square and if i look behind me i can see something already in a giant nappy and i'm here with no law hartman's one of the activists behind this particular approach is that all the protests everywhere don't know trouble goes but this particular one is happening right now and here in london what what is this all about so we have made a giant inflatable baby to highlight the childish characteristics of the president which he has demonstrated again this morning by you know essentially threatening our prime minister i'm sorry going to be flying this baby and send the message that we oppose his policy and his policies and which policies exactly is it that you are

opposing what i mean pretty much all the maybe but especially immigration obviously i mean what he's doing on the border with separating children from parents even though now he says they want to do that anymore a lot of the children haven't been returned to their families and a lot of them are infants so they won't be able to to say what country they're from or who their parents are because they are babies so there is a big chance that some of the show will never be reunited with their families and their families are still in indefinite detention other than that obviously ripping up climate agreements is very damaging for everybody in the world i mean pollution doesn't just stop midway through the atlantic so that affects all of us but you know it's also just his behavior just the way he acts and normalizes racist and sexist behavior and some might think this is a funny protest but others might think well you know really not respecting the office of the american president yes we have heard that a lot we wonder though if president trump deserves

a lot of respect i mean he sent his wife to a detention center for children wearing a jacket that says. i really don't care do you do you care i think you know the white house said after that like. it's just a jacket so we can say it's just a balloon you know you want to space it's just a balloon on the hartmans thank you very much a bit big to use to me in berlin. you can see there is a lot of opposition there a building to president trump's visit and meanwhile the president and theresa may are supposed to talk about substance today and get the elephant in the room is that sun newspaper interview and i want to ask about one aspect because he didn't just weigh in on breaks that strategy he also had a tip for who are successor might be let's take a look now in this interview with the president actually appraised the former foreign secretary boris johnson saying quote i think he would be a great prime minister i think he's got what it takes of you also said that i have respect for johnson was sad that he had stepped down so what will the atmosphere be

like at these talks after all of these comments. well the reason may now had a night to digest all this it's of course really a humiliation and something that's very unusual and polite british society so it will be really interesting how she goes about this day whether she's mustering up the humility to deal with the american president after this massive blow to i would say also how you go because she obviously had all these expectations to this summit and then to single out those johnson in particular who had been had limits is all throughout. being prime minister is you know a particular. particular insult i would say to the british prime minister so let's see how this day pans out she's going to you don't know trump and checkers they're going to have political talks that and then later on he's going to have tea with the queen and winds up behind walls so no chance of any of the protesters getting

too close to you don't know the trump them well he will feel that the atmosphere i would say generally in britain is not extremely welcoming at the moment or i did every reporting for us from london where protest is underway there thank you very much. and we'll be taking a look at what prompted donald trump to accuse theresa may have being too soft on bread so that's coming up with monica in business a little bit later now on to some other stories that are making headlines around the world activists have gathered outside the chinese government office in hong kong to mark the one year since the death of nobel peace prize winner lucia a veteran of the nineteen eighty nine at tiananmen square protest lou died of liver cancer while serving an eleven year sentence for subversion a larger public memorial ceremonies scheduled for friday evening. several dozen migrants have been allowed to disembark from an italian coast guard ship in sicily they were initially held on the ship over suspicions that some had been involved in

an attempted mutiny a number reportedly tried to take over thiering there would be returned to libya the incident comes amid heightened tensions in europe on the issue of migration. at least ten people have been killed in landslides in afghanistan north of the capital kabul it happened in the early hours of thursday morning local time destroying hundreds of houses authority said at least ten villages have been affected more flooding is expected in the coming days. 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 south of the country was the birthplace of the rising in two thousand and eleven and is one of the last rebel strongholds to 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 syrian government has control of that are

a lot of people moved deeper into the territory of closer to the border they share with jordan and started patrolling whole 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 backers 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 well this is. very symbolic meaning in march in two thousand and eleven this is where the uprising against bashar al assad begin or sell the team 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 blind that up to one hundred leader because of the arab spring we have been ousted they wanted

. to go to 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 that the regime is certainly firmly back in control so it's a huge symbolic victory because this is seen as the brutal sort of see of the uprising and does this mean that the us average team is then ever closer to a complete military victory. absolutely does and that's been clear ever since day one the left and then they went and now they've gone for a good hour and there's really been no stopping them has there now russia's been backing the assad regime the rebels have not to need to see the kind of backing they were hoping for that is for a variety of reasons because the levels and among themselves are likely 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 that the opposition forces themselves but yes assad is certainly firmly back in control of syria except for in the lid 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 towards it live where all of the people who didn't want to stay under evacuation were bussed out to our correspondent on shop or are reporting for us from beirut anshul thank you very much you're watching good news still to come get ready to board the world cup express stick with us to find out more about the mexican soccer fan who can't get enough of russia and the traveling the country by train. but first to iran where several women and girls have lunch protest against the government's compulsory headscarf law some have been removing their head jobs in public in the

waving them in the air calling the movement girls of revolution street tehran has cracked down arresting several protesters we spoke to two women who are free on bail waiting for their trial. guess host seanie 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 responds did you think i didn't mind it almost seems like you enjoyed being in prison. today mother and daughter can joke about it. there was no laughing matter hosseini had demonstrated in public against the obligatory islamic headscarf. to me having to wear the job means that other people are deciding what i should and shouldn't do we've been stripped of so many rights because apparently we women can't make decisions for ourselves but i want to decide for myself i'm from a conservative religious family. 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. was this the news of some of them. as you heard in the end i achieved my goal to. better the leftovers so that. one day she came across a website called the girls of revolution street launched in twenty seventeen and it brought together women from across iran who were taking to the streets to protest the compulsory job long they stood waving white head scarves tied to sticks and 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 to climb up on top of one of those electric boxes. on january twenty ninth she managed to wave her headscarf in tehran's open air 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. i met 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. where's the john because she wants to even so she doesn't think women like orsini 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 dynamics societies in a state of flux if the leadership can't adjust to change it will become obsolete. knowledge that really matters to me. recent statistics show seventy five percent of women in iran oppose the compulsory job law as she says women should be allowed to decide for themselves if they want to wear. and if the 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. shop i don't shuddering so i didn't felt the full force of the regime's anger she doesn't want to be forced to wear

a headscarf she says iranian women are already forced to meet double lives one in public the other can privately we meet her in a cafe in tehran she says she wants to protect her family she has a husband and a ten year old child like mark as most seanie she too has protested in public and up in jail. and i told them that i'm not going to be going to that present again without talking to my lawyer then i was be there not badly. after that they. sent me to a court to the court but didn't didn't ask me about my bruisers the judge didn't ask me what happened to your face. she was held in solitary confinement and went on hunger strike her parents did not support her they told her she had acted irresponsibly but then her father came to see her he was crying and he i told you he he kissed that there are glass and told me that i'm proud of you

and when the. prison guard lady. told him. to come with me to stop the hunger strike my father just told me to be strong stand up and be as strong as you are. a result there was also released on bail and is awaiting sentencing and other 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. at the tour de france ireland's dan martin has claimed victory on stage six the team usa emirates rider pulled ahead inside the final kilometer and never looked

back at the top of the standings belgium's greg than i ever met kept hold of the leader's yellow jersey. this one hundred eighty one kilometer joins from breast free the countryside really sprang to life in the closing stages with the peloton splits off to somalia breakaways new zealand is jack bauer made his victory but like those before him his lead was eaten up by the main pack containing yellow jersey man greg fan adam out this was a bad day for the other title contenders. on the twenty seven. he lost nearly a minute after getting a puncture with five kilometers to go out from the pace was picking up as the writers made their way up the day's final climb while the pack jostling for position island's dan martin pushed forward in a grueling last special the line he held on ahead of him right at piano and spain's alexandra de this was the second stage wayne of mancini's career.

than adam mount clung on during the final climb and stays. home. what do you do when your country is knocked out of the world cup you can either return home or jump on the midnight express to continue exploring the host nation that's exactly what one strat san from mexico did her sister annie into russian hospitality. the night train sets off from st petersburg 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 to try to blame them i respect her and i like the idea too to be on the train with some brush and we are talking about

what i like about his calling tree 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 next to one are having fish for breakfast one has enjoyed the experience he's managed to have a conversation with nikita despite not speaking russian one hadn't thought about bringing breakfast so his new friends offered him some of theirs he's seen similar hospitality at other world cups he has attended. usually people are kind to each other and helpful. i found that in germany i found that in brazil and now in russia. his own country mexico were kicked out of the world cup almost two weeks ago but one is still having fun and he'll remember this journey for

a long time. to club football now and chelsea have sacked their telly and coach antonio conte after just two seasons in charge that's according to british media guy did chelsea to the premier league title in his first year at stamford bridge and won this year's f.a. cup but his future was plunged into doubt after the team failed to qualify for next season's templates lee is expected to be replaced by another italian the former napoli coach. so we know williams sister to the wimbledon final after a straight sets victory over germany. the seven time champion cruised past six two six four williams will now meet until a cabbage and a rematch of the two thousand and sixteen final cavil made quick work of ankle winning the match six three six three and just over an hour it is the second time that the german has been to the final at wimbledon. monocle with more on the reason that prompted doubletime to make that accusation that theresa may is too soft on

birds that yeah he doesn't like the way she's handling it certainly not since she released the white paper which happened just yesterday that a long awaited white paper in which a to reset may outlines a blueprint for britain's future relations with the european union all the key elements off this paper include the so-called facilitated customs arrangements designed to avoid a hard border in ireland as well as a free trade area in goods and agra foods britain might abandon its close ties with the e.u. for financial services britain's biggest export industry that would make it harder for banks to access the european single market mazed breaks that approach has been harshly criticized by donald trump was as a soft break said with close ties to the e.u. 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. may prove difficult. ahead of trump's arrival in london plans for

a softer bragg's of maintaining close e.u. u.k. trade ties had already caused controversy the u.s. is ambassador 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 year. one deal has to come before the other the u.k. can finalize trade pacts on its own until after breaks it earlier this year free trade between london and washington seem more plausible trump 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. all right for more on this now is chris

over to last how to our financial correspondent in frankfurt germany financial help but it also has a commercial port i want to say a little one but it actually looks rather big there last donald trump is talking trade again this time putting pressure not on china but on britain what is his game plan here. well monica the question is really does he have a game plan if he does have one it's most likely his usual game plan division donald trump just apparently likes pitting one partner against another in this case now his search trying to pit britain even more against the e.u. and i really don't think he understands fully what's at stake here for britain and what britain stands to lose and that breaks it anyway the way it is not only with regards to its financial services industry but also in general terms when it comes to trade of goods and services so for president trump here to make a specific case for heartbreaks it is certainly not helpful and it is really

a terrible idea is that donald trump wants a trade deal with the united kingdom war then a relationship a good relationship with the european union why is that considering that the e.u. is a much bigger market. well i guess we know that donald trump likes selling a lot more than he likes buying and when it comes to selling when it comes to exports i think he looks at britain as the better partner because in terms of trade the united states actually runs a small trade surplus with the united kingdom and they're running of course a deficit with the e.u. and a trade deficit in and by itself is a terrible terrible thing for president trump he doesn't like deficits as we know and it doesn't really look behind the scenes here. trade of course between the u.s. and u.k. is mostly in large parts pharmaceuticals it's in terms of the united states shipping

to the united kingdom that's mostly cars and it goes in reverse with aircraft and aircraft parts now. the e.u. is still in negotiation with with britain and what ching everything that happens here in europe especially mr trump in the last couple of days what is the sentiment towards the end of the week where you are. well certainly the last couple of days have made things easier it was a terrible week here in terms of the breaks of negotiations with first with david davis a get out of the government being replaced by another hard line of then we had chaos and entirely in sewing and when boris johnson left the government too and now looking at the white paper of course we see that a lot of details here look more like britain wants to move towards softer breaks it rather than the heart breaks and of course now the united states are weighing in the way donald trump just did certainly doesn't make it easy for the parties to negotiate to their reporting for us from frankfurt thank you so much. when not

even experts could have forecast this the dramatic rise in chinese exports to the united states despite the current trade conflict in june the chinese export economy announced record results and beijing surplus with the u.s. hit an all time high more than twenty nine billion dollars experts say it's due to u.s. businesses preparing for the new terrorist introduced in july two weeks ago the u.s. slapped tariffs on chinese imports to the tune of thirty four billion dollars and president on a trump up his sleeve he's threatening to hit a further two hundred billion dollars of goods with them too. just a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you u.s. president ought to trump says of free trade deal with the united kingdom is almost impossible in the british government plans to lead. goes ahead that he doesn't use thank you.

some of. the intrigue the international talk show before journalists discuss the topic of the week clearly has two dishes among nato allies spent on more open display than it this year's summit in brussels could probably fire from president trying to defeat one of the strongest military alliances in the street join us for this week's country. quadriga next d.w. . was our germany
