if britain leaves the european union this fall. it was a date to special relationships u.s. president donald trump and the outgoing british 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 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 2 or 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 want to impose their 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 protests but it's trump's policies not his promises that cause the most upset almost every single thing is wrong has done is an american. i'm pleasant and nasty and i think

america deserves a better leader. climate change women's rights gay rights. control he's done absolutely not. 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 smoke ordeal. has more on trump's visit and the future of that special relationship she reports from one. that 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. of 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 healthcare they fear that the special relationship might become as an even as a dispassionate. bigger must reporting from london for membership of the european union and they go and peace with russia that's what ukraine's new president will be as alinsky would like and he took his wish list with him on his 1st official visit abroad today his destination brussels selenski help talks with european commission president john you also met with the head of nato. during his election campaigns alinsky pledged to bring peace to eastern ukraine but offered no concrete plans on how to do this around 13000 people have been killed in fighting between government troops and russian backed separatists in eastern ukraine. he spoke with reporters today at nato headquarters in brussels take a listen strategic course of ukraine to achieve full fledged membership in the e.u. and we just secure in their constitution over ukraine remains unchanged.

a group of students disrupted proceedings in the german parliament the bonus talk today accusing the government of not doing enough to combat climate change they staged a die in pretending to be dead they said the stunt was designed to highlight how drastic the climate situation is. well to sudan now where the opposition has 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 the country's military council scrapped existing agreements with the opposition the winds after a violent crackdown on the protest in khartoum that left dozens dead. after the slaughter khartoum holds its breath protesters barricading roads as their leaders call for a campaign of civil disobedience and the trust they have in the military council has gone their agreements torn up by the generals after the brutal crackdown on

opposition leaders reject the military's plan for rapid elections they want to lodge a structural change before a photo is held with that they say elections will not be free and fair and could allow elements of former president obama the shias regime to hold on to power. the military council's leader has not learned the lessons of history it seems he is clearly repeating it in every way while we believe that it's now in the hands of the sudanese people they have begun setting up barricades or have succeeded in their strikes they're heading towards disobedience. as this regime will fall no matter what the law says whatever. monday's violence was the worst since this year was as did in a cold on tuesday the military council expressed regret at the deaths. in the town there you go you claim is to investigate to monday's incidents and have asked for

general prosecutor to handle the issue of good we are calling on the people to improve our homeland and to spread the spirit of tolerance and forgiveness we remain open to all nice and constructive suggestions for taking our country forward . but taking stock of the con it demonstrates has a skeptical. hold rather to this speech will lead to a mess in the country and will drag it down opposition alliance will not accept it and people in general support us no matter what their political affiliation and the government should have by by the people as well and the people support what the opposition alliance is calling for honey. that's alliance and its approaches to continue that fight for full civilly and will. win today is the 30th anniversary of the tiananmen square massacre in beijing when this image was

seared into our collective memory and iconic photo of a lone man facing down a column of tanks a heroic act of defiance it all took place in the spring of 1989 students had occupied the square demanding the reforms and freedom from the communist government but their hopes for economic and social change greater freedom of speech and less corruption well they were all 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 over decades chinese authorities are trying to keep the event out of history books and they've punished people who have commemorated in mainland china the tiananmen crackdown has been a raced from the country's history in hong kong memories have been kept alive tens of thousands gathered for a vigil in victoria park earlier today among those remembering the dead were some

mainland chinese who had travelled to hong kong it's the only region under beijing's jurisdiction where mass commemorations can be safely held. and in china most people don't know about the events at tim and square because of state censorship or digital reporter only alsa car is here for the social media and all 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 is censored on in china on on the internet on the social media business of keywords that the chinese government has that you know if you use these key words in your in your content red flags come up and your content will get blocked or removed we did a test this morning a chinese speaking colleague of ours she searched on the way by which is the chinese version of twitter if you like and she typed in the numbers 8964 referring

to the date the 4th of june 1909 and as you can see there are no results at all on the platform the same thing happens if you use other key words to do with sentiment squared sentiment square massacre incident you get no results whatsoever. also we could pedia has recently been completely blocked in china earlier it was only that the chinese chinese language version of it that was blocked now all language versions are blocked in china so this is part of the reason why so many people in china especially young people you know born often and as you know one have no hardly any knowledge about the massacre just because the information isn't available to them what are 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 with rubber ducks now these these pictures get past the senses initially but then you know once they. it become popular and gets 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 yukon's 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 actually one of the most important platforms in china when it comes to political dissent. thank you so very much. and there was only speaking with my colleague
