1:02 pm
a discussion with business leaders from both sides of the atlantic significant anti trump rallies are taking shape while parts of london are on security lockdown. and you have a chorus on shall ots is in london covering the trump visit for us welcome shall we heard not present trump has offered britain a very substantial trade deal tell us more about what the 2 leaders can offer each other during this visit. well donald trump is very very eager to offer the u.k. this trade deal and also to recently has said that this is a huge opportunity we're talking about a bilateral free trade agreement for after breakfast so far after the u.k. has left the european union the u.s. is already the u.k. slav just trading partner but this of course would go one step further and there might have to be some concessions on the u.k. side accepting. goods and trading regulations that have not been accepted
1:03 pm
so far here but the 2 leaders agreed on that that they want this trade deal and it will be brought forward by the delegations now because of course the reason may is not going to be the one seeing that through she is resigning as a conservative leader later on this prime minister so she will not be the one seeing that through and donald trump told her jokingly stick around will will make this deal together but of course that was just a joke from his spot and just didn't very lavish welcome the huge protests against the u.s. president going on right now we have live pictures coming in off those tell us more about those photos and really actually get to see any of it. so these protests happening all over central london where trump is holding talks today and where he'll be escorted around but the area where trump is is literally cordoned
1:04 pm
off there's no way for protesters to get anywhere close to the u.s. president security is very high of course so it is most likely something that he will not see he won't see those massive protests he might get a glimpse of that baby blimp the balloon that is now. a whole held by a protest there is of course lots of badness we're seeing there and trafalgar square and in other locations across london and one of the most striking things about these protests is that the labor opposition party the. leadership of the labor opposition party has joined into these protests jeremy corbin even holding a speech there is the leader of the opposition party of course a huge statement against the u.s. president that they shouldn't be all sounding in front of 10 downing street tourism may as you mention remove the caging this residence on a friday pass that to any extent affected the tone of this visit.
1:05 pm
yes it has she is a lame duck she can see the things through that are being discussed on this visit and donald trump will later on apparently as we are hearing need another one of her possible successor michael gove's the environmental secretary here in the u.k. so he is already kind of scouting around her successes and trying to figure out a fix but. i think part. of that but at the very best of it it's. on the weekend. do go ahead we had a temporary problem with the line charlotte. i haven't read i was able to understand why trump has endorsed. i think we just have to leave it there charlotte in london thank you very much for your reporting but we are having some trouble with the audio and what you are one looking at just on we're live pictures and some signs of scuffles at the rallies taking place in london and ronnie's this entente

1:12 pm
favored a hardline approach. so if i was not interested in my father's work i didn't care what he was doing in the government. what the son did not know was another man was in control. china's senior leader had retired from most. the whole country knew the students knew who had been ousted by done shopping 2 years before that. over the next few weeks the students became more and more radical they demanded negotiations with the parties some went on a hunger strike they wanted not the simple. fact that we don't everybody had a feeling that we would certainly win because everybody supported us that's what i saw on the square. i don't know when i came home there was

people are arriving now there will be a commemoration event with candles a little bit later it's an important event for civil society and on kong it specially says hong kong zones freedoms are under threat since the jinping took power and it's and restricted the freedoms that this city has been enjoying me for so i didn't sing lettuce beijing is not mocking this song but anniversary at all. more than beijing is trying to silence any common aeration even in private of this event at least some people who are for example mothers who have lost their children . who have wives who have lost their husbands and vice versa they are blocked often from even going outside and to the places where their beloved ones were
1:16 pm
killed and remembering them beijing is afraid of remembering this event because the communist party has power relies on that they do not at meet that they committed a crime in 1990. and we saw you know they moving report of the father and son who are determined to keep the memory of this massacre alive terje years on what does this anniversary mean for the younger generation of china's. it's very hard to know at all how many young. people know that this happened and what information they have about it because there is no information publicly available in this sense the chinese internet you will not find the photographs that we all know the tank man for example or the photographs. only people with access to the worldwide internet who know how to bypass the great firewall can find this
1:17 pm
information i hear however from people inside china from young people that at some point when they are in university for example somebody tells them the story but in what way it is towed is often hard to say there is a lot of information around a lot of misinformation so we don't have a clear picture how many people know about this event and what they know. right let us dillinger thank you very much ed reporting from hong kong recommend the relations are being held to mark the 30th anniversary of the tiananmen square massacre. so as we heard from mathias the chinese government is trying to do everything to raise the memory of the tournament square massacre joining me for more is sherry shon she's a social media editor and originally from hong kong welcome to you cherry from what i hear the any mention of the tournament square massacre is vanda on chinese

1:19 pm
post and so there is an archive done by a hong kong research institute and they. pose before they were taken down. shows all these photos and sensitive was that a sensor. and in one of the picture. chinese. dogs of the tank tried to get over the censorship and this photo was widely shared. sensitive. sensitive content and so it really shows the. game between chinese social media users and a censor the do chinese people talk about that you know square massacre. media platforms so even though. they are banned inside china many chinese social media users they try to get there on the they used to get access to these foreign
1:20 pm
