on fronts. twenty four what about you watching live from her so fronts twenty four the headlines ththis ho. cycyclone a d die trick is the t humanitarian catastrophe in mozambique's history rescue teams are struggling to reach survivors in the devastated city of beira. you and says millions are affected across the region. the e man dubbeded the trump the tropics visits the white house brazil's jabal scenario treated to a warm welcome the u. s. president. says he would even like to see the countrtry joined nato's. and thousands of people back on the streets of algeria's capital demanding president beautifully could go immediately the agency

to has scraps next month's election. stay on wants to end.. well we beginn with a will not welcome at ththe white house for brazil's far right presidents the us president donald trump congratulated jebel star on his election campaign. and said he was only just to hear it compared to his own victory in twenty sixteen the two latest pledging deeper cooperation on trade and security. trump said he wanted brazil to enter t the oecd group all developed economies. even said he would push for resale. to join nato forces would step aside. i also intend to designate brazil as a major non nato ally.

or even possibly if you start the a n nato ally. have to talk to a lot of people but maybe a nato ally. which will greatly advanced sesecurity and cooperation betwn our countries. our nations are already working together to protect our people. from terrorism dress trans national crime. and drugs and weapopons trafficking. also you mean traffic in which is really become something that's come to the forefront of crime. it's time to overcome old resistance and explore the very best potential that there is between brazil and the u. s. well it's fair to say that bristol now has a president who's not anti american. and that hasn't happened in recent decades. well to tell more about that visit i'm joioined on the line y anthony pereyra a professor and director of the prison institute at king's college in london thank you for joining us. now i'm as we had today these two leaders have a similar positions on immigration on venezuela climate change and of

course that shed and dislike of the mainstream media. did you see these are common positions translating into real deeper ties between the two coununtries. i think that's a great question and i think the verdict is still out there they clearly have ideological affinities they hav. domestic political reasons for celebrating this visit -- they can both say to their bases look on different -- you know for trump i have a i have a someone who admires me in brazil for both senado you know he's breaking the mold most resilient presidents for their first. visit to a foreign head of state theyey go a south american couny wilson i was going to the state. but whether this will lead to it rereally a substantial change in brazil us relations i think that's still an open question because they have very different interests. on some issues. a lot of talk today about trade

and is there a lot of opportunity for them to develop. closer cooperation on trade. well i think there is it depends on the willingness to concede to make concessions on both sides for example american agriculture is fairly protected it's subsidized protected. and brazil in u. s. compete and in the production of a lot of agribusiness products. so i'm not sure that the wood there's willingness on the on the us side to to make concessions. andd i think when it comes to china -- you know brazil has a very different relationship to china than the us does it has a trait major trade surplus with china. china's itsts number one trading partner. and i also don't think it necessarily has an interest in - questioning and revising the multilateral institutions that govern the the global order in the way that the trump administration seems to to have i mean. the bolts not administration despite some of the affinities with trump is not economically nationalist it's very liberal it

wants to attract foreign investment into brazil. and and use the current system of the current trading system rather than try to change it. what will they said meeting do for both and are standing at home he has off to rule any been in power for a few months? well it it would probably boost at least with his core supporters it will boost his standing he'll he'll just getting a good reception at the white house and so on i think -- you know in terms of where he's going in foreign policy. they will be there will be tensions so he's he's also said entry interestingly in the context of this visit that he that he intends to visit china in the second half of twenty nineteen and brazil is also hosting the bricks on it. and twenty nineteen so i think there's an interesting -- battle going on behind the scenes in the both nodded both in our administration about what this relationship with the u. s. really means in terms of the really block concrete bread and

butter issues on our foreign policy which concert which for brazil has always been about economic development trade and ininvestment. and if f i lay out a lot of peoe quite surprised to hear trump talk about brazil joining nato would brazil even want to join the north atlantic treaty organization. even though there are some geographic well if it did they might have beens. yes they might have to change the name of nato to semedo so the south and north atlantic treaty organization because of course brazil as its main interest is in -- in the south atlantic not the north atlantic -- that might just be one of those trump isms that gets forgotten - i'm not sure -- brazil sees its strategic interests it's very much sees itself as a south a atlantic partner that has important. our relationships with our west african countries all the countries along the atlantic coast in the south atlantic and that's probably where it's where it's d did you canan just goingo remain. at any pereira thank you very

much indeed talking to us. now moving into a algeria whethr it be more huge protests in the capital algiers today students university professors and health workers all turnened out to call on president abdelaziz pacifica to resign immediately. on monday he announced that he plans to stay on beyond his term which will run out in april he has withdrawn his bid to run for a fifth term. please also scrapped next month's elections and he hasn't set a new date. marching for change on a symbolic day. tens of thousands of students doctors andnd professors took to the streets of algiers to call for the president's resesignati. on the anniversary of the cease fire that ended the algerian wa. the vehicle is we'd like to have a health system where the president can have a condition that's treated here. instead of having to travel abroad. the current system is finished
