is india's 2nd biggest trading partner president trump has announced progress on a big trade deal as he calls it but so far there has not been a breakthrough then there's security the 2 countries have been increasing their military cooperation over the past few years signing a number of defense agreements and conducting joint exercises another issue kashmir india state that disputed region of its semi autonomy last year but president from saw 1st to mediate between india and pakistan have been rebuffed by indian officials we'll talk to our correspondent but 1st let's go to ahmedabad to find out whether people there are ready to offer their traditional greeting of nama state to the u.s. president. aloha my prime distribution and i look to the city up to heaven but. no one can myth that the american president is on his way. the products of certain that this visit would do well for the 2 countries they have

called home. after 15 years of studying and living in the u.s. they had it done as a medic and citizens to start businesses shot of it bought it and investment bank it's confident that even the perception of a good relationship between the 2 leaders it's good for growth and investment to have the president of the united states and the force leave. think of 4 people of gujarat and when i say my companies in and about they asked me when i'm done. so this would be you know this is going to get so much exposure in the u.s. that you know this is our going forth. several members of this family still live in the u.s. . and paulsen other indian americans like them who migrated from the state of good drugs are expected to return to abbottabad for the must make. the program

which will feature cultural performances and speeches by the 2 leaders is set to take place amidst heavy security at the new more better stadium the largest cricket grounds in the world to trump an echo of the how the more the event held in texas last 0 out at the largest gathering for a for an elected leader on american soil in the run up to the u.s. presidential election this event is seen as an attempt for president jumped to appeal to the largely democratic indian american voter bill but not everyone is celebrating the presidential visit. political analyst cunt sharp shah is concerned about the massive expenditure on the street are sure he's also skeptical that the security powers and six-pack. will all be willing participants. and suspect many maybe. they would not like to spend money. to come.

from but there is a thing. so people know that this is. one his. best the other the. but the city is almost literally leaving north tone on tone for trump. these are being lead batter kids raised and rude spruced up. this wall was removed overnight on the road of the presidential convoy will take. hundreds of the city's poor live behind it they say that this expenditure could have been used to improve their living conditions instead it's of minimal did nobody has done this to keep us out of sight they took 20 minutes and bathrooms to build this wall where we supposed to bathe them and. their kids could fall into these people we have to keep in on the right the water supply has been carved up by

poor where are we supposed to go to. even ask powder are expected to turn out to welcome the american president not everyone will be saying no must be a trump. let's go live now to. gys wall joining us from delhi this morning today to you what's behind this massive reception for the u.s. president in. well brian massive is the right word the us president has repeatedly given comments to the media talking about how he's expecting millions to turn out to welcome him in india and it is interesting that he keeps pointing the solid because this might be a key thing isn't why this event is happening thought donald trump was reportedly very impressed by the how do you move the u.n. was held a few short months ago in texas and this is supposed to be kind of an echo of that

event as well he is expected to actually appeal to indian american waters in a fashion because that is a large good shot the indian american population in the u.s. and this event is happening in a good job so perhaps this could be a way analysts believe that donald trump is showing americans his appeal and this presidential election coming up in the u.s. as well so this could well be that effort going out from donald trump today on this visit is of course very important as well for bilateral ties what's the state money sure right now of indian u.s. relations. well this bilateral meeting apart from this big rally that we've have been talking about was mainly supposed to be over you to establish a big trade deed that has been months in the making however there are also expectations that this bill no longer go through because recently precedent from made comments saying that he would like for this deal to come through before the presidential

elections which are lead to november so that looks unlikely that it actually happened during this meeting itself there's also been displeasure on both sides the u.s. has removed india's status of preferential trade status just last year and india has upset about that while the u.s. has said that india is the king of status and has been that has imposed heavy doubts on us and also america is not too happy either however we are expecting an important defense deal to come through tomorrow is when there would be important bilateral meetings happening in new delhi and this would also reflect the u.s. inclination that india can act like a counterweight to china it's also important for us to know what that this is also good optics for prime sent in the more the who has invited heavy international criticism in the face of india's moves on india's new citizenship law which has invited heavy protests across the country and religious freedom is actually something that president drum is expected to pick up during this meeting as we speak we're getting live images of the president's

a trainer plane air force one taxiing onto the runway there the president arriving in. what's going to be happening after the rally today what else is on the american president's agenda. let's fact head to with the press than donald trump off the 3 also to have the bus he's expected to fly out auger out of their shorts about the thoughts and. thoughts my head as he would be visiting the monument to be vetted by the chief minister of that but the issue he had quite a controversial figure himself that's interesting that the choosing to do this he's going to fly today this evening itself and tomorrow again is a full day and the morning that the a presidential about them at the presidential palace there would also be something be going to with the dawn the emotional and then there would be important bilateral meetings and we'd get announcements late and the evening thanks so much for now in the mission we'll have much more on this visit in the hours ahead.

democrats have won this weekend's state election in hamburg with 39 percent. victory marks a turnaround for the center left party support as fall sharply in other recent state elections but voters in hamburg punished the chancellor merkel's christian democrats and received just a leavened percent of the belts their god was god. was finally a result to celebrate for germany's ailing social democrats thanks after a run of election losses the s.p.d. were the clear winners in homburg on sunday nationalist bt leaders welcomed the turnaround was. a dozen pushes this gives the s.p.d. a push and i think it's the right kind of politics and i think it's the kind of politics that suits the whole this meeting has been the past. but for chancellor angela merkel's christian democrats it's the worst state election result in almost 70 years. this is on the top tock it's a bitter day for the c.d.u.

in germany it's an historic lead bad election result for the c.d.u. in hamburg and there's no way to put a gloss on that prince william. was cumbered screens doubled their vote was they are hoping to be the main challenger to chancellor merkel c.d.u. in federal elections next year was just years additional. receiving really have an extremely challenging situation for democracy in germany and the cd usa preoccupied with south side says it can essentially be ruled out as a party of government like a student always was. i was green supporters chanted nazis 20 it looked like humber voters had kicked out the far right alternative for germany but as more results came in the f.t. moved above the 5 percent threshold needed to make it into the state parliament. well the governing see the u.s. coalition partners yesterday their meeting in berlin this morning to discuss the

hamburger results and we have our chief political editor michelle accustomed to talk all. all about it good morning to you michele and these are the worst results for medical c.d.u. in hamburg 7 years what is happening to the christian press well it's psychologically bad that these actions happen right now the christian democrats haven't really had much of a strong saying that in many years at the same time we've heard it from. the co-leader of the green posse which could potentially see itself in a coalition with going to michael's party if there were elections just around the corner him ruling them out as a potential partner right now that's a pretty strong statement about the state of the conservative c.d.u. which is in the middle of disorientation of the way the center ground of conservatism is and where the next leader will be because basically the succession plan of the machall didn't work out and now all seems open at this very moment in

time who will lead the conservative c.d.u. known as i'm going to maxwell's posse into the post machall period look a lot of opportunities for a number of politicians in the c.d.u. their countries other large party of the center of the social democrats they have been in a tailspin lately but hamburgers kind of offering them a 2nd life with voters as it is and yet they lost more than 6 percentage points in these elections the only clear win is the only party that actually gain votes is the green party in these elections the social democrats desperately needed to win at the same time they have their own woes they didn't want the new party leadership to attend this election campaign and they put this election success down to being somewhat separate to what's happening in by lynn so we see both big tent posses here and in decline at the far right if d.d. managed to return to the parliament in hamburg the other main parties were hoping

that the shootings in ha now would have kept them out of the parliament and burke and. yes but the for the very 1st time the far right if the party is seeing a slight setback in the elections and they seem to have just about made it into the parliament that and the a 50 has also been on the media all around seeing itself as the victim also of what was a right wing extremists terrorist attack in saying now that blame is being laid with them when really this should be a much broader debate i think this is not the end or this is not the beginning of the decline of the far right if tea party but it is a sign that rise isn't necessarily hit to say thanks so much for coming in on this morning. let's turn to german football now in the bundesliga by a labor coups and maintaining their strong start to 2020 with a win at home over struggling for its fixture leyva cruzan was
