8:01 pm
in the square when victims started demanding democratic reforms the chinese government is working to reduce the memory of the very you that. you so much for your company everyone. on day 2 of his 1st official state visit to britain u.s. president donald trump has described the relationship between his country in the u.k. as quote the greatest alliance the world has ever known all during a joint press conference with prime minister theresa may in london both leaders repeatedly stressed the special relationship between their 2 nations playing down the recent tensions between them but may also say that they had openly discussed their differences such as on natural climate change or dealings with iran while some 1st parts each held out the prospect of
8:02 pm
a substantial change deal between the u.k. and the u.s. the nation's commemorate as the u.k. makes preparations to exit the european union the united states is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. there is tremendous potential in the trade deal i say probably to get even 3 times of what we're doing right now tremendous potential tremendous potential i'm joined now by barry gets my ass our correspondent in london now she's near felger square i understand where a lot of protests have been taking place against mr trump's visit bigots or trump still not a fan of the european union but he came bearing gifts offering outgoing prime minister made the possibility of a phenomenal trade deal any details on what a phenomenal trade deal might look like. well the can't really be details right now because the u.k. is still a member of the european union so they can pave the way for
8:03 pm
a trade me but it can't happen just yet there was no quick movement in the press conference when president trump was asked if every part of the economy should be on the trade bill for this trade deal and he said yes every part of the economy should be negotiated which is when to reason may intervene because she knows that there are some parts of the u.k. economy that very small very many people feel very sensitive about for example the health service and many people feel that the n.h.s. which is a public health service should be protected from any interference by u.s. companies so there are going to be a lot of details of course in these negotiations that will take years and also controversial interests when it comes to this trade deal so it's not a done deal by any means it's not a done deal by any means but always apparent in that press conference is that mr trump seems to have the upper hand just how badly does the u.k. need trump. well he's coming here in
8:04 pm
a moment of great instability all of the country to reason may is on the way out there are fundamental questions on bragg's that that still have not be nonsense or it's in this situation that the u.k. is seeking to strengthen the toys with the u.s. its longest and strongest ally apart from the european union and there are fears here in the u.k. that the yacht the u.s. might have the upper hand as well when it comes to trade deal that the stronger partner and they might be able to dictate terms and conditions to the u.k. at least this is the fear by some here then there are others in the british government who want to be very positive about it and want to see the opportunity of a trade deal spot the devil will be in the detail and we haven't even really seen the start of the negotiations the start of the detail they go ca sions right the devil will be in the details appear good let's talk about those thousands of people who were behind you were a short time ago demonstrating against president trump's visit to britain what are
8:05 pm
they angry about. i've spoken to some of the protesters and they had a variety of reasons some were mentioning his policy towards refugees they were objecting he's talking about the war with mexico several also we're talking about climate change now i was a bit astonished when president trump in their press conference said that he didn't see any protesters and that he just felt tremendous knowledge of being outside buckingham palace yesterday where he was and i did see well wishers but i also saw protesters yesterday and they were outnumbering the well wishes today i've been told that there were supporters of donald trump but there were thousands of people who were loudly protesting against him and i'm surprised that he didn't the e.e.o.c. any of them it's all right i've just got 20 seconds left now of course the theresa may try to foster a very special relationship personal relationship with dollar trump how successful has she been judging by their final joint press conference. he was on his
8:06 pm
best behavior and he praised her isn't made many times he was talking about this special relationship the greatest alliance the world has ever seen so definitely had many warm words for tourism may he also knows that she is on her way out because last reporting from london thank you and now to ukraine whose new president of lot of marilyn's he is in brussels on his 1st official foreign trip since his team says the visit highlights his commitment to closer ties with the west at the top of the news agenda is bringing peace to eastern ukraine around 13000 people have lost their lives there in fighting between government troops and russian backed separatists looking the opponent in the eye only a few 100 meters divide pro russian separatists from the ukrainian army in these trenches near launched on hand to see it for himself ukraine's new commander in chief president full of demons selenski it's
8:07 pm
a picture repeated along the 400 kilometer front line where positions have remained frozen for years to stop the political process in which both sides insist the other take the 1st step all the while the killing continues. in the russian night british putting an end to the fighting in donbass is our main priority like. i said not or should not i'm willing to do almost anything to stop our heroes dying but the caveat soon followed with more than 10000 dead and millions displaced in this conflict many people in ukraine are in no hurry to forgive and forget president selenski freedom of action to strike a deal is far from a given. but at this checkpoint between government and separatist held territory hopes are already running high that an end to the conflict could now be in sight
8:08 pm
that's why i think we have an 80 percent chance of peace because selenski is really serious about it and only direct talks with putin are going to resolve this which. there is some hope of peace there was not with poroshenko fighting want to achieve anything more at the shit some sort of i think he'll manage to end the war he talks in a totally different way of course we want to be together again we want these board accused to be over. in his inauguration speech full of the misery linsky made much of wanting to win the hearts and minds of people living in separatist held territory speaking to them rather than speaking about them but as his 1st weeks in office draw to a close selenski still owes ukrainians a no answer what diplomatic steps to see intend to take and what concessions is he willing to make to return donetsk and lugansk to ukrainian control for now selenski is keeping his cards exceedingly close to his chest. whereas i know about some of

8:10 pm
drastic the situation is. today is the 30th anniversary of the 2 them and square massacre in beijing when this image right here behind me was seared into our collective memory that iconic photo of a lone man facing off a column of tanks in a heroic act of defiance well this was of course back in the spring of 1989 and students occupied the square demanding new or forms of freedoms from the communist government but their hopes for economic change and social change greater freedom of speech and less corruption were rejected by the regime the chinese government declared martial law and in the early hours of june 4th troops moved in and crushed the pro-democracy movement their brutal actions shocked the world now for decades chinese authorities have tried to keep the event out of the history books and punish those who commemorate it while in mainland china the sentiment crackdown has
8:11 pm
been basically erased from the country's history and hong kong memories have been kept alive. tens of thousands have gathered for a vigil in victoria park among those remembering the dead were some mainland chinese who had travelled to hong kong especially for this is the only region under beijing's jurors jurisdiction where mass commemoration can be safely housed. and in china most people don't know about the events at tenement square because of state censorship or digital reporter only alsa carr is here for the social media angle thank you so much for being here although what happened when you tried looking for information about the massacre in china as if is there any any information about this incident it's sense that on in china on on the internet on the on social media business of key words that the chinese government has that you know if you use these key words in your in your concerns red flags come up and your

8:13 pm
people doing to get around that censorship so there is quite a few creative ways people are using and many of those examples many creative way bo posts have been archived on instagram by a group of researchers in hong kong. some people use code words to get around these these key words that the government doesn't want you to use other people use they play with pictures that you know versions of the tank photo with lego's or this one for example where. they have shipped out the tanks and replace them with rubber ducks now these these pictures get past the census initially but then you know once they become popular and get spread around a lot then the census do catch up with you. there's also foreign platforms you know many foreign social media platforms are banned in china facebook twitter you cons access it but people are using v.p.n. which is a way of hiding a geographical location online many people in china used. twitter is
