not yet had any wish a tool to back down from the job we have to do. there is so much that i would like to be able to tell you. all of which you've heard many many times but just to say that i mean it even more today. please give my fondest love to my ass and my j.b. . god bless and keep you safe for be a very emotional tribute there by a british prime minister theresa may on the day began with operation overlord a massive naval operation to ferry american british canadian and other allied forces are crossed the english channel to the french coast all the remains the largest assault of its kind in the history of modern warfare almost $7000.00 ships and landing craft headed for

a 50 mile stretch off the french coast and the code names of the landing beaches are etched in history of course you've got you to omaha gold juno and sword today's commemorations didn't begin in france but at the english naval base of portsmouth from where d.-day veterans depart on a ship for france german chancellor america also attended the solemn ceremonies here's what she said to thaw in the. new dog of the in the military it was a unique military operation unprecedented for us in germany it lead ultimately to liberation from national socialism it claimed an unbelievable number of lives hundreds of thousands of soldiers were involved a huge logistical operation. and it was to lead to something that we can be very proud of today namely reconciliation and unity within europe and the whole post-war order that has brought us peace in europe now for more than 7 decades.

and the fact that i as a german chancellor can be part of this today i think that today we are working together for peace and freedom that is a gift of history that we need to protect and maintain. good. chancellor speaking there in our correspondent barratry good is in portsmouth and he joins me right now birth parents are good to see you and now i'm going mark. one of the many world leaders who joined the queen a to mark this very special anniversary put this in perspective for us how significant is it that a german chancellor participates in these ceremonies. the coming of the war time here is this certainly a strong symbol for the fact that germany is part of this international community that germany is part of the alliance of the allied forces and no longer any me or

no bad feeling or something like that and to this is also seen in the declaration of the 16 heads of state and government that attended these commemoration today they all issued a statement that says we stand together as a free democracy is to stand up to any enemy that the threatens freedom and independence and only as a very small sign of the state fair close to this come addition there was also german broth was an offer and portsmouth is of course the sister city of do spoken germany so no bad feelings here all right now lots of a world leaders in attendance where you are but this day is really about the fallen and the veterans world war 2 veterans who some of which were in attendance as well . you have and john jenkins for example aged 99 walked on the stage nobody votes and seat anymore even the queen stood up and gave

standing ovation to this veteran who was stood for 300 residents in attendance and the conversation was about the the life stories of these brave men and women who. took part in the operation overlord if there were no long speeches was more i read an excerpt and of the preparation of these operations a very emotional very impressive and the queen said i am part of this generation and we are very resilient and she got lots of applause for that and my band stand by for a 2nd going to get back to you in just a moment because i'd like to take a look now back at the events of 75 years ago that changed the course of history. at 1st glance it's hard to see any sign of the horrors that the stretch of sand played host to. but 75 years ago on june 6th the fate of an entire continent rested on the soldiers who came ashore here on omaha beach. operation

overlord saw a combined force of nearly 160000 american british and canadian troops land on the beaches of normandy. gaining a foothold in nazi occupied france came at a heavy price. the fighting on d.-day and in the weeks afterwards claimed the lives of tens of thousands of allied soldiers. but their sacrifice hastened the defeat of hitler's 3rd reich. commemorating the fallen became an important ritual for the victorious allied powers a reminder that they fought on the side of right in a just war. the germans also suffered heavy casualties but it wasn't until 2004 that france invited a german chancellor to take part in the engle commemorations. what was once viewed in germany as a calamitous defeat is now seen as marking the start of the long road to peace and liberation. the successful invasion

completely changed europe for the best they brought us democracy we lost the war. we've had 70 years of peace here. all the people lying in the cemeteries there. this is what goes through my head when i visit them on d.-day. all those people died for us so that we could live in peace then we leave. when france and germany 1st commemorated the invasion of normandy together it was seen by observers as a sign of deepening european unity in the face of strained transatlantic ties. and faced with threats both foreign and domestic the band of european unity continues to be put to the test 75 years after the events of d.-day. all right want to go back to my. colleague at bankrate who is at portsmouth apparent how significant are these commemorations and nowadays i mean does it still resonate with people.

sometimes it's very good to remember where you come from and 65000 people of the watching these events here and it's also about strengthening or remembering the transatlantic ties because the invasion 75 years ago was of course the the special relationship with you america and the great britain and the other allies and today these transatlantic ties under stress so it's good that donald trump there was president was here he didn't say a bad good and everybody is happy now that this is also a symbol for the friendship between the continents. are banter eager to reporting from portsmouth thank you. i to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. thailand's parliament has convened to pick the country's next prime minister well the vote will officially restore civilian rule in thailand 5 years after

is here to talk through this story and these images what exactly did we just see as a 1st of these videos have made the rounds on twitter of the last few days after these climate change process in vienna last friday and the 1st day did that have. we should we see a protest the being beaten by the police it's unclear why he's being beaten but the police have come out and said that they did use physical force on protesters who resisted arrest now but it's the 2nd video that has caused most of the roll on social media it shows a different press protester being shoved on the this car. and then the driver of the car the officer starts the car and appears to almost be rolling over his head before the protest is called to safety last minute and then the discussion that's going on now is whether the police not only deliberately endangered

a man's life but also purposefully tortured him basically. i mean it's incredible what has the reaction been to twitter so far well we have 1st of all we have a tweet from the man who was under the car his name is on some schindler he tweeted go ahead and scream no one will believe you anyway that's what i was told by the officer who was twisting my arm i guess he was wrong. we also have a reaction from a berlin police officer siding with the protesters in this case this is from detective chief superintendent all of a fun job of all ski he says this is in no way a mistake and that's what's awful and have we heard from the van a place where what was their side of the story and well 1st they came out saying that the coverage the media coverage of this was biased specifically this episode with the man who was on the car but they have since changed that shooting and today they've come out tweeting that this video perspective shows

a dangerous situation regardless of the criminal investigation that's already underway this incident will be included in the deployment tactics and mission training that are part of police evaluations so that is that's a good thing they've also said that one of the officers in question has been taken off the streets and is now for 2 office duty and they're also said that clarifying this incident as of highest priority or at all they off the car thank you. chinese president xi jinping has met with president vladimir putin in moscow the 2 leaders have met dozens of times in recent years and are looking to further deepen trade ties between their nations all today's talks take on extra urgency amid china's heated trade war with the united states in an interview with russian state media ahead of the trip she called putin his best and bosom friend saying he cherished their deep friendship and used the address source file this report.

friendships must be cultivated to that end china bestowed an honorary doctorate on russia's president last month at a press conference for the event vladimir putin praised the 2 countries relationship given the strategic skipper china is by any measure a strategic partner so we biggest trade turnover is with china skipper last year trade between the 2 countries rose 27 percent to $107000000000.00 russia sells china raw materials while china sends back machinery transport and consumer goods to increase trade the 2 are investing in new transport links like this cross border bridge over the river it's set to open for traffic next year but . in france we've long said that we need to build more infrastructure. right now

2 friendly countries with a long shared border can't trade normally because they lack the proper infrastructure to go it is mistaken about altering its up this machine for was very weak and both presidents have promised to remedy that they've met dozens of times in recent years and the kremlin says they have good personal chemistry as well. the presidential visit to st petersburg has been in the works for a long time. yet china and russia support each other diplomatically against and say globalization protectionism and unilateralism this fully reflects the high level and special nature of the 2 countries strategic partnership and heard. both russia and china are permanent members of the united nations security council where they often block resolutions from western countries especially relating to syria and venezuela. but other key part of the russian chinese relationship is increasing military coordination russian t.v.

news recently showed joint military exercises $3000.00 chinese soldiers joined hundreds of thousands of russian troops on maneuvers last year on the low chinese numbers a sign that the russians don't completely trust them yet oh no. we don't intend to become dependent on china that's why we're developing relationships with japan korea as the countries and india russia's asia policy is more than just a china policy but it's. a sign that russian foreign policy is based on pragmatism and can be easily adjusted depending on which way the wind blows. off or on that meeting to diffuse and we share in joins me now from our moscow bureau good to say i am really do we know what the 2 leaders discussed. well there was a lot on their agenda today including basically all the main issues of international

politics speaking at their press a joint press conference after their meetings they said that they had discussed the iran nuclear deal a deal venezuela syria and the denuclearization of the korean peninsula and both leaders emphasized that they had a lot in common on all the issues. of that international agenda they also signed during this meeting today 30 agreements including trade deals we just saw a ceremony of those documents being handed over as well and after this meeting today. will travel on to the same economic forum and also today on the agenda is some symbolic stuff the. 2 pandas from china are being handing it over to the moscow zoo of course town of the plonk you can't miss that from any significant bilateral meeting on

a serious note president xi and and president putin are they hoping with this meeting to send a message to the west. absolutely i would say that that's the main item on the agenda today there have been kind of bombastic declarations of friendship from both sides ahead of the meeting thing said that with his closest and most reliable friend among international leaders state t.v. is running this story with the headline golden era and it's all just beginning the 2 countries are united in their anti u.s. position and china is kind of being driven away from the u.s. by the looming trade war and russia is waiting with open arms after all they have been kind of courting china in their hit to ages since 2014 when they were hit with western sanctions they've been kind of looking for other partners ever since then

so they'll be this will be very welcome news for the very very welcome news i'm just wondering as well you know yesterday emily china and russia joined forces and blocked a proposal by germany and britain at the u.n. to condemn the brutal killings of civilians in sudan and warning is this a sign of things to come well it's hard to know china and russia and russia often vote together on resolutions at the u.n. security signal and we'll have to wait and see whether the signals that we've been seeing today the smiles all around the promises of deepening cooperation will mean that they will present a united front on the international arena going forward and we sure would reporting from moscow thank you. let's turn now to the fascinating world of the funding in the humdrum the drowned and the dole at the
