this is the. berlin the greatest alliance the world has ever know donald trump tells the relationship between britain and the united states on the 2nd day of his state visit president and prime minister to resume a talk trade and double down on that special relationship that as thousands take to the streets to protest against the u.s. president we'll get an update from london also coming up tonight amid more violence today and military council cancels all previous agreements with the opposition and

calls for new elections also coming up ukraine's new president asked the european union to help bring peace to eastern ukraine. and says the e.u. must ramp up pressure on moscow to end the conflict with russian backed rebels and the world marks 30 years since the massacre in tiananmen square victims die demanding democratic reforms but china continues to try to really race all evidence of what really happened. it's good to have you with us we begin tonight in the u.k. where donald trump is on day 2 of a controversial state visit for a 2nd straight day thousands of taking to the streets of london to protest the u.s. president with trump labeling reports of those. as fake news today truck met with

prime minister to resume he held the extraordinary relationship between britain and the us and he pledged improved trade toys between the 2 countries if britain leaves the european union this fall. it was a date the special relationships u.s. president donald trump and the outgoing bush prime minister treason may on stage together for probably one of the last times for the past 2 and a half years the president and i have had the privilege of being the latest guardians of this precious and profound friendship between our countries as with our previous s's when we have faced threats to the security of our citizens and our allies we have stood together and acted together that included cooperation to stop iran getting nuclear weapons and encouraging nato members to pay more into the alliance and a big part of that special relationship is trade. as the u.k.

makes preparations to exit the european union the united states has 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. but in the streets around the british prime minister's residence there was a less than friendly welcome for the u.s. president i. was. they went in a horrible. lower standards on us in britain. and it's all because we look as if we're going to be so reduced by threats that. we're going to have to accept this. but i pray it's not going to happen. the crowds are smaller than for previous anti trump right. yes but it's trump's policies not his

promises that cause the most upset almost every single thing has done is un-american and i'm pleasant and nasty and i think america deserves a better leader. climate change women's rights gay rights. and control he's done absolutely nothing and everyone knows that the british prime minister is on her way out and it will be up to her successor to make sure the special relationship remains milk ordeal. has more on trump's visit and the future of the so-called special relationship she reports from what. the has been much talk about the so-called special relationship during the state visit by a u.s. president on a truck but what does this mean the u.s. is offering a substantial trade deal once the u.k. will have left the european union but the devil will be in the detail critics here

in the u.k. you know if u.s. president trump they suspect that the u.s. might exploit its position of strength for example by demanding access to public services such as health care they fear that the special relationship might become as on even as it to special. i was because most reporting from one the opposition leaders in sudan have rejected plans by the country's military rulers to hold elections within 9 months the declaration of freedom and change forces alliance says it will keep up a campaign of civil disobedience to try to force the army from power protest leaders suspended because she asians after the violent breakup of a protest sit in her tube doctors say at least 35 people were killed in the crackdown. i'm joined now by jason patric and they journalist in khartoum jason it's good to have you on the shelves and i've been in about talking

to protesters in khartoum today i mean what are they telling you. well today i visited a hospital 2 where many of the wounded from the massacre yesterday are receiving treatment and also people on the streets to set up barricades in their neighborhoods to prevent the rapid support forces which the militia that. seems to have carried out the mess for yesterday and the crucial thing is that i didn't talk to any protester who was willing to back down basically despite this unbelievable level of violence. people are still holding holding strong at least in terms of in terms of not backing down from the military they're still commanding a still in government they're still demanding freedom and democracy. so

in fact there is one quote that one person said they said even though the revolution is things going from december now is when it starts and we understand protesters they've rejected these the army's election plans calling for new elections in the next 9 months. or so adamant against that do do they suspect the military power grab in the making whether really already has been a military power grab the know it's or it's a patrol after all the military was in control under all the cheer and then after pushing him out you know syria remain in control and now they've seized on the goshi ations and you know kills the people who are trying to oppose no spiritual power grabs the military busy from control when it comes to the. it started when it comes to the election the reason people are against an election happening so quickly is because they there have been so many sham elections over

in the past that people don't think that there will be enough time in 9 months to reform from the country's institutions and support para for a truly free and fair election and certainly if if there are no civilians at all in the government its military government people fear that the military will just hold an election that doesn't have which it is either from the outside it appeared that these protests were peaceful in the beginning of may there were negotiations between the military council and the protesters and it seemed that sudan was set for a peaceful revolution or power transition to power and then eat it changed me how the people on the street how did they explain that to you that change do they know exactly why you and what happened well i think the protesters and i don't sell those. have been peaceful.

maybe a little going but it's nothing serious nothing compared to the level of violence coming from the military and i think a lot of people blame the gulf busy nations saudi arabia united arab emirates as well as egypt who have really been the only international players to soon do anything about the sudan situation and they have set and those countries have sided strong only with military count sold their pledged 3000000 ounces have deposited some of that money already. and it's. i think people basically blaming them for giving the military council the green light to do what it wants now whether those countries actually did that is another thing but that's what the people on the street really believe and at the same time he the protesters have helped firm they've hello there there sit in. the

ministry there to sense for 2 months now now it's gone of course after yesterday but pressure. basically showed to the military council that people were backing down so the military in sudan has fallen back on what it's used for frankly decades but you know suppress the opposition force just what about they have the unions. yes so the a you has they started out quite strong. saying that the military should hand over what you know we've seen weeks to a civilian authority but then things started to get fuzzy and the. in particular the president sisi presidency you see from egypt. basically question through an extension of that lines for a few months and. so basically that given the the military council the

time and the space to delay things and then use violence etc so. you have a you has has been a bit of a buy and it hasn't really stepped up to so to play it as much as it perhaps could have journalist in karachi with the latest on the situation there for the fortunate developments to report tonight jason thank you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world authorities in peru say they've seized over 5 tons of illegal drugs that were destined for europe peru's president said the hole was made in a multinational operation involving police in argentina spain and italy officials say the suspects were using front companies pretending to export honey and but man it's police in australia have arrested the man suspected of killing at least 4 people at the motel in daraa when witnesses say the gunman stormed 3 rooms on tuesday firing of sawn off shotgun before fleeing the scene police say the attack

was not terrorism related. full membership of the european union and nato and peace with russia that's what ukraine's new president will the mutes alinsky says are his goals as he makes his 1st official visit abroad his destination of course brussels solon's he held talks with european commission president john paul the younger today he also met with the nato chiefs. now during his election campaigns alinsky pledged to bring peace to eastern ukraine around $13000.00 people have been killed there in fighting between government troops and russian backed separatists. he laid out his agenda at a press conference at nato headquarters take a listen best course of ukraine to achieve full fledged membership in the e.u. and nato we just said secure in their constitution over ukraine remains unchanged

that this is their prey you are our foreign policy ukraine's progress towards high your pm living in security standards is a demand of the ukraine society. well president is being closely watched by the more than 2000000 displaced people who have fled their homes in the region in eastern ukraine nick connelly traveled to a monastery that still offering refugees a safe harbor some 5 years after the fighting. and its monastery until 5 years ago this was a place where the people of the dumbass region came to pray and enjoy the views but when conflict broke out in 2014 city here just quickly became a place of refuge for thousands fleeing the fighting for a time refugees outnumber the locals $10.00 to $1.00. 5 years on and some of those

refugees are still here around 200 people have found home in the ministry taking the place of pilgrims who once came here in large numbers it's mainly the elderly and single parents who haven't been able to move on. from donetsk is one of them and that's the beauty. of a sudden there were houses around where we lived and they were firing but we waited for a few days before finally leaving. i thought would only be gone for a short while so i didn't even take much with me but i was wrong it all seemed ridiculous i couldn't believe it was happening to me even once i got here. without the free food and accommodation provided by the ministry says she wouldn't be able to make ends meet back in town yet so she worked in the family business but the war has scattered her family one of her sisters is living in russia while her mother stayed behind to daniel's. look at the cameras really say hello to grandma.

before the war religion wasn't a big part of a long as life taking part in daily worship isn't compulsory for those living at the monastery but it has become 2nd nature and a source of hope a lawyer tells us. i want peace i want to be able to bring up my kids we didn't understand the value of the life we had in donetsk until we've lost it at leisure it's only it's. poles all over the world sure the climate change is one of the major concerns of young people today in germany's parliament the bundestag that concerned took the form of the then usual protests which take a look at these pictures during a speech by the president of parliament about 20 young people came in a day only do they think they'll. be in a so-called darya the activists say the governing coalition in germany is not

taking the biggest crisis of one change seriously the w.c. i mean young spoke about the issue to the swedish foreign minister margaret. german foreign minister i come sais that it's time to put climate protection at the top of the international agenda do you think the international community is doing enough on this issue no i don't think that the international community is doing enough we also made sure that this was put on the security council is agenda when we served our term on the square to counsel and i think that we will have to keep it there there is some resistance but i think that we have managed to get it into the wording of resolutions for example and also actually explain the link between climate change and security and this will increasingly be

a problem that we have to address what is the most serious threat to rising from climate change is it migration is it economic pressures or is it just the general potential for conflict it is also on top of these things you will find also the lack of the shortage of water and food and the fact that for example conflicts over land. social unrest because people have to move when they can't find. for example grazing land for their cattle or they can't find clean drinking water so in the recent european election we saw green party is doing well across europe including in germany but also elsewhere do you think there's now been a change of opinion and people are calling for action not words oh absolutely and i think actually we have a young swedish girl who has contributed to that could have gotten by who has been

able to mobilize also young people and the protests that is a people's protest and i think all parties have to include this in their in their programs and we just have to start to do something and you know we have to act it's not enough to just have some lofty promises but we have to make the right decisions your good fortune very possibly the world's most famous sweden right at the moment she's leading the school children's protests how important do you think she is and that movement is in changing opinion i think she has in a very serious and convincing way she has managed to speak truth to power and also said that you know i don't want your hopes your expressions of hope but you have to act as if you're i want you to panic as if your house was on fire and i think this is exactly the core of her message and she has managed to mobilize young

people. almost everywhere and this is of course a very strong message to to all of us who have rolled science leaders in different countries so i think she's right i had my her a lot and i think we just have to follow them and demonstrate that we can act together margaret vance from thank you very much. well today is the 30th anniversary of the tiananmen square massacre in beijing when of this image was seared into our collective memory that iconic photo of a lone man facing down a column of armored tanks a heroic act of defiance. well this was in the spring of 1989 students had occupied the square demanding new reforms and freedoms from the communist government but their hopes for economic and social change greater freedom of speech and less corruption they 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 on sunday the chinese defense minister said the 1909 crackdown had been the right thing to do for decades chinese authorities have tried to keep the event out of the history books and they tried to punish those who commemorate the w.'s munty is berlinger met a father and son who were trying their best to keep alive the memory of the tiananmen square massacre we hear from the son 1st. who is a book published in hong kong there was 1989 i was a 4th year student in university. so i wasn't very interested in society. when everybody went to tiananmen square i just went to have a look everybody went there in time to actually watch but what he saw there changed his life students were mourning. the reform minded leader i was to 2 years prior

they saw him as a victim of a corrupt party elite soon they started raising more issues who were living standards human rights corruption. the awful for that i had an argument with my father he already said if the students continue this might lead to bloodshed i could not agree to what his father about whom was then a high ranking official or but i didn't know this would end in such a tragedy but i knew it was a very difficult situation this. woman had been a close aide to the young the successor to jealousy young was also a reform and want to dialogue with the students but the conservative. prime minister 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 that another man was in control.

china's senior leader had retired from most. countries 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 of sympathy and on the way. back i know we don't everybody had a feeling that we would certainly win because everybody supported us that's what i saw on the square. when i came home there was a deeply pessimistic atmosphere if we don't be one of the. you don't you know. on may 18th being instructed the government to declare martial law the reformers in the party had lost the young disappeared from public view he spent the rest of his life.

prepared for an investigation but what i didn't know was they would investigate me in prison. he was detained a week after. another week later that time santa cruz was watching from their account. when they started shooting i thought they were shot in the air you were it then people were rushing the wounded on our bikes into the hospitals that's when i understood they were really killing people in the ship right our left the country shortly after he became a publisher of critical books many of them about 1909. for me the events of the 1989 are still like an open wound. well tom was released after 8 years in prison he remains under constant surveillance. to what that is when they expelled me from the party they

liberated me my brain and my mouth are free today father and son can not talk often about who is allowed to visit once a year and some years not at all. it's hard to believe but in china most people do not know about the on the main square in 1909 because of state since your ship or digital reporter. here with me from our social media desk ok let's talk about what what happened when you went online trying to get information about the tiananmen square massacre so 1st of all all discussions about the massacre in china. and the government has a list of keywords that they deemed sensitive and so if you use those in any any content your content is likely to be blocked so we did a test where my chinese speaking colleagues and weigh both which is the chinese equivalent of twitter. for the dates $8096.00 for us on the 4th of june

1909 and as you can see no results come up asshole and that is the same if you search for any key would to do with chen and square massacre in jenin incidents there are no results at all also we could pedia has reason to be reason they've been completely blocked in china used to be that only the chinese language was unavailable but now you can't access any language on pedia anymore inside mainland china so this is why many chinese people especially young people born author 189 have very little if any knowledge at all about the massacre just because the it's not available to them yeah it's a particular viewers do if you're able to watch as in china disagree here about humans where would be blacked out it would not be visible to anyone there are people are they funny successful ways to get around this is the ship well this quite a few creative people out there have come up with some good ways and many of these creative way bo posts have been by some researchers in hong

kong and some people use code words for example to get around these sensitive keywords other people's play with pictures you know we have. many many versions of this picture over. and in the tank man photo instead of the instead of the tanks and then you can get online in china well so this this ends up staying for a little while but then as soon as as soon as these pictures get shared around then the government comes and cracks down and takes that away but at least it's up there it's up there for a little while. we also have to have international. so whether we're talking about the version we're out of time or the but it's just is a bit especially in amazing that efforts are so advanced at trying to erase something that happened in history thank you for your reporting here's a reminder of the top story that we're following for you u.s.
