4:00 pm
but unfortunately. donald trump arrives in the u.k. for his first visit to u.s. president triggering protests in the capital. there might be protests but i believe that the people in the u.k. scotland ireland as you know have property and. property. i think that those people . like me a lot and they agree with me on immigration. only heels of the nato summit in brussels where he pointed out to his allies that he views love and we are putin as a competitor not an enemy. also in the program for. russian users as having an interest in. leading to heightened fears over the dangers posed
4:01 pm
by data driven profiling. around the clock across the world this sees our international my names you know me a welcome to the program we will get to our headline stories in just a moment but first police in the southern city of salt spray say they are responding to an incident involving a thirty's the individual now reportedly fallen close to the restaurant where a surrogate script his daughter shortly before they were poisoned earlier this year officers have cordoned off the area and they say they have taken the highly proportionally measure to ensure public safety there is nothing to suggest any wider risk to the public we will of course continue to update you on this story as
4:02 pm
it develops. president trump is being welcomed right now by trees m h a blenheim palace for a black tie dinner but gets the red carpet treatment from dignitaries and leaders the public who have been in our fridge protesting in the capital pouring from london here's our list to see if. the general mood here is that these people don't want donald trump to be visiting the u.k. at all in fact just earlier we saw this protest his helicopter was landing just behind us and things god's extremely loud here these people are forced just part of the one protest that will be taking place in the u.k. throughout the next couple of days with massive protests expected to take place on friday and indeed this is donald trump's finest official visit t.j. as u.s. president it's been granted really has an official working visit as opposed to
4:03 pm
a state visit to just change out the level of pomp that would otherwise be associated with the state leader coming to the u.k. and of course it was well before he even arrived here the controversy surrounding his visit has been taking place with people protesting that he come here at all with even the m.p.'s discussing in parliament whether or not he should be allowed to do that following a petition online of people saying they don't want him here in fact it's getting even noisier here now as far as we understand the tribes helicopters expected to take off again now presumably to take him to this evening and gauge minutes with theresa may so because a lot of the africans with this visit have been taken to have donald trump stay away from all of the people expected to protest we can see this area behind me is actually the u.s. ambassador's residence to the u.k. and this is the place where donald trump will be spending just one night in central london for so for many of these protests this is pretty much as close as they're
4:04 pm
going to be able to get to the u.s. president but it's. course none of this seems to be donald trump who believes he's very much liked in this country protests there there might be protests but i believe that the people in the u.k. scotland ireland as you know i have property in ireland and property all over i think that those people they like me a lot and they agree with me on immigration well of course our we decided to ask this question to the protesters here and see how much they actually like donald trump i don't know anybody that likes and i don't know anybody that wants him to come here we don't want him. to think he's going to hear this message of people protesting that's not the point probably not. but we have to protest anyway we can't do nothing. about five people in government the rest of the country got a body. and signed up for. public rights as minister thanks very much.
4:05 pm
but the majority frankly don't like him that's why people come out to donald trump said he thinks he's liked in the u.k. do you think that's true absolutely not he was absolutely look at the people concerned. just not extremely loud he has. to come. but simply because he needs a difficult place of business it is a place to try to look at just issues of trade and what's it as was discussed in russia feeling love and sleeping right and of course it's really loud here. seems like. but this is just mind boggling. that it's going to be. we're not saying this only to get. out or. wanting to organizers will be making it out. of central london on friday to say no
4:06 pm
to this is it is going to be zero. i think. three days. are quite obviously against. my likely to continue in the next. well this is what's on the agenda over the next few days don't trouble take in some scenery and culture blend in polish studies where the president is right now is the birthplace of second world war prime minister winston churchill he'll spend the night the u.s. ambassador's london residency winfield it's all then down to business on friday the p.m.'s country residence checkers for talks with the new foreign secretary jeremy hunt after that the us president and the first lady will visit windsor castle to meet the queen and finally they are expected to fly to scotland to spend the weekend trumps turnberry golf resorts and maybe hit a few golf balls as well central london should perhaps be avoided during the trip
4:07 pm
even more protests are expected or for the coming days but to ensure the president's security and britain. security operation is in place he'll be accompanied by a thousand of his own staff as well as multiple helicopters and these are the limos two of them called the beast incredible some reports put the total shared cost of the trip around thirty million pints well mike riley of b s news believes the protests will do little to distract trump when it comes to business as he's got the upper hand on trees and may he'll be he'll be quite impressed that there is such a big turnout just in protest so he'll he'll be flattered by odd magine. i don't know what people expect to happen out of the anything he's going to change in terms of donald trump's policies and i think there will be some discussions on trade deals but he has the upper hand because effectively the u.k. is in a desperate situation enough to what's been a couple of years of referendum where we haven't really done anything in terms of
4:08 pm
trade so he's different. stephanie sees us as a disadvantage at the moment and i think he's going to press home that advantage obviously what he's doing in terms of trade he's he's put up tensions barriers all over the place and while america calls itself the home of free market. that potentially barrier is probably something that trees and maybe he's going to try and circumvent somehow so there will be some kind of trade deal between the u.k. and u.s. and it's but i doubt it'll be on the best terms that reason i can possibly expect so the two or three years ago but times of everyone else in foreign policy of the us out of the hope in hell of changing anything even if you wanted to well president trump earlier left the nato summit in brussels where he really new calls for far more military spending by member states he also stressed that a surprise news conference that vladimir putin is not an enemy rather a competitor. i hope we get along well i think we get along well but ultimately
4:09 pm
he's a competitor he's representing gratia i'm representing the united states so in a sense we're competitors not a question of friend or enemy he's not my enemy and hopefully some day maybe he'll be a friend it could happen but i know i just don't know him very well i've been a couple of times in a pretty extraordinary meeting to our europe correspondent peter all of her has more on one of the most intense nato summit in recent history. donald trump ran out onto the field determined to try and provoke a fight with somebody under merkel was the first point of call but he didn't get a rise out of chancellor merkel until well he brought up energy and sell it suggesting that because germany took in his words sixty to seventy percent of their energy from russia there it's well germany was a captive of the russian state germany is a captive for those they supply they get rid of their cause to get rid of it. they
4:10 pm
get it so much of the world and yes for russia i think it's something that has to look at it is very inappropriate they pay billions of dollars to russia and now we have to defend them against russia this is all got to do with the nord stream to pipeline which donald trump has in the past opposed because he wants to see germany and other european countries import much more expensive liquid natural gas from the united states puts and puts in the well you can never expect what's going to come from this u.s. president on thursday when he gave this news conference he seemed to have changed his tune a little bit about north stream three but he's going to have a good relationship with russia so they'll be a lot less problem with the pipeline but to me that was a very major point of contention we discussed it at length today germany has agreed to do a lot better than they were doing and we're very happy with that we had a very good relationship with america. while the u.s. president seemed to be claiming to a fixed nato in
4:11 pm
a speech that really seemed far more directed towards his base his home than say any of the leaders who had been meeting with what we heard from the nato secretary general again stoltenberg was a little bit more measured i think that the fact that we had this open discussion has also. clearly stated that he will redouble our efforts. and. it also shows the clear message from president term is having an impact while the happy faces if you will win on from all sides at the end of the summit doesn't gloss over the fact that this was at times a bruising and at other times hardly diplomatic meeting one in which those who had wondered what america first may mean only seem to a found out it means they come second it was very similar to a lot of donald trump's visits abroad that he might be in another country he might
4:12 pm
be outside the united states but his messaging and his aim is is to please his base back in the united states that's really the only audience he plays to or has in the back of his mind and so you know he sees trying to ruffle feathers and really show that america is on a on a new course new more isolationist course more in the sense withdrawing from many things that america had been the forefront of leading and then sitting on easily against european partners who have come to rely on american leadership at the center but are now seeing it trying to in a sense run away leaving a large vacuum both in terms of leadership and perhaps in terms of cash and tends to happen at these summits there are a few other standout moments as well here's our top three.
4:13 pm
oh absolutely and germany well that was seventy percent of the country controlled by russia with natural gas so you tell me is that approach by the way of this job here that's broke i've. heard of it. but it is it would be very difficult if you commit. this yes' you produce to the differences but for. the people to get your foot. in the grave to.
4:14 pm
be moving on it has been revealed that facebook labeled sixty five russian members as having an interest in treason it is feared that creating profiles for people could lead them vulnerable to a range of threats. of has been digging deep on this one. facebook really outdid itself on this one here's how it went certain facebook users russians in this case were internally so they didn't know labeled as interested in treason so those perhaps with the anti government view against
4:15 pm
russia all russians facebook only stopped when they got caught treason was included as a category given its historical significance given it is an illegal activity we have removed it as an interest category now here's the juice of it who do you think would be interested in this data clue that the thais as watchmakers now don't and that propagandists those interested in riling these people up there are getting bombarding them with anti russian propaganda masquerading as ads encouraging them to commit treason a perfect tool to meddle in russia's politics facebook remove the treason category due to criticism but there are plenty more that it's keeping thirty advertisers of course. but the gambling offers no similar protections for information about those categories that it has inferred for instance their use them i'd be interested in
4:16 pm
homosexuality or interested in is that information facebook isn't removing how would you feel of for example you were marked as interested in homosexuality in saudi arabia where homosexuals are executed how do you feel if you are marked as interested in islam a neon mark where muslims are exterminated and fish book may well have been marking potential traders in other countries much less respectful of human rights in which these people might disappear we've tried to contact them for the comment but no response so far and at this stage it's safe to say that fish book has been literally in being during people's lives this feels like western stirring western interference in the democratic process within russia because they're trying to create tension or suspicion or paranoia amongst the people who might have taken an
4:17 pm
interest in some historical case of treason or whatever it is and we've seen the same thing happen across the west as well over the last few years where we know that facebook also profiles for what is called dissidents or subversive in western countries and of course this can all be sold on to companies such as cambridge analytical the big scandal in the u.k. the last few months but it's certainly dangerous for our democracies to i've been saying for at least a tech case that facebook is effectively the sort of fantasy system that if the spies could have developed it they would have developed it and the fact that facebook has been colluding with the west inspired a global surveillance plane not as we know from the whistleblowing of edward snowden and one of his earliest disclosures was the prism program it is a meshing between the core person the state's avail and this incredibly close now across the west so i can sit around. welcome. back to a story we were speaking about earlier from the u.k.
4:18 pm
where an incident has been reported in the city of seoul sprit it apparently occurred near a restaurant on one of the last new in places where russians surrogate and yulia script had been when the former russian double agent and his daughter were exposed to a nerve agent the beginning of march let's get more on this from our u.k. correspondent lisa said she had an issue what do we learn about what is the valid being in this story at the moment. well what we do know is that local police insults have said that a man in his thirty's to form an ale maisie's restaurant and that's the restaurants where the square poles dined before then of the truck poisoning in march now the road that was closed off was costal street and solsbury we've just been told that that's now reopened but police arrived on scene there at around six twenty local time pm this evening people have been sharing images and pictures online on social
4:19 pm
media of vehicles turning up in the area and people wearing green protective clothing and attending to the man that was unwell near the restaurant but source replace tweeted that we're currently dealing with an incident on cultural street and sold spray involving a man in his thirty's and they also tweeted that given the ongoing incidents in salt spray and pray they're taking highly precautionary measures to ensure public safety and they don't want people to be alarmed at this stage but we don't know the second stances behind that illness at this stage but for my russian spy it's a script on his door to yulia were poisoned when they'll be chuckin souls back in march and last week two people in their main spray were poisoned after handling an item that was contaminated with the never agent nor the chalk but one of them do instead jess died on sunday but her partner charlie rowley well he has now regain consciousness and has been talking to people within the police officers within the investigation but police are investigating
4:20 pm
a possible link into the cases between ness and the russians. but given the script poisoning and the recent incident in this isn't was quick to gather a lot of attention but we'll keep you up to date on the developments there ok so the bark open where the incident occurred are to use to bring us right up to. guantanamo bay prisoners could be kept locked up with a charge. indefinitely according to a u.s. justice department official that comment came during a rare legal case in which eleven inmates in the u.s. detention center in cuba have their appeals for trial or release heard by a court in washington the official said that they could be held for as long as the war on terror continues i think the government didn't help its case by saying that you know essentially you know this this war might be like one hundred years war in
4:21 pm
england and potentially we could end up detaining people for several generations of the longest hostilities were ongoing and in the war on terror well the men have been held up the notorious military prison some for as long as fifteen years without ever being charged with a crime their lawyers are demanding the inmates be either tried or released the eleven men were not allowed to listen in to the court arguments because authorities said there was not a room big enough to shock a limb all in together now lawyers and human rights groups have described the conditions of their imprisonment out guantanamo bay. constitutional on against international law among the group is this person appealing for release tell feek he's from yemen and has been detained in guantanamo bay since two thousand and three suspicion of having been a member of. he's never been charged in fact he was previously cleared by u.s. authorities unbranded released papers on three occasions each time though it was
4:22 pm
counsel at the very last moment here's what another detainee had to say about their situation. i still have faith even after all this time they did judge will see through the stupidity the better solution would be deceive the american taxpayer the eleven million poor year to keep the year and maybe nobody but i am a very expensive nobody all the guantanamo bay detention camp was opened in two thousand and two by president george w. bush since then seven hundred eighty prisoners have been held there as part of america's fight against terrorism human rights groups decried the treatment of inmates suffer reports of abuse on torture surface the spite efforts from the previous administration to shut it down donald trump signed an executive order to keep the camp open indefinitely forty people are still incarcerated there here's how another former guantanamo prisoners described the torment he suffered. torture
4:23 pm
false imprisonment. human degrading treatment is something that myself and many others endured but i think the cruelest and most torturous treatment has been that you are detained without charge or trial by a country that claims to be the bastion of freedom and human rights and democracy we already know people are being tortured on mass the americans are a little bit you in the. torture but what's happening now is that one tunnel is as american high and i think most people recognize this whether it's bush or obama or donald trump all have allowed one tunnel to exist and continue under the presidency . let's talk for boar krisher are gearing up for their first ever world cup final appearance after beating england two one in extra time in whedon's the semifinal
4:24 pm

4:25 pm
the these in with. one hour or two hours early bring the friends against belgium two hours later you'd have them during the competition even three matches in one day so why not two matches in one day and give both teams and all the players the same possibilities france is not sort of getting at all. the world cup victory but they can celebrate twenty four hours more to rest moment after six matches is very very important and they can also serve brits three minutes so to mean that's extra week for them. extra times extra times ninety minutes ninety minutes sees one match of the business to take care of before sunday's show piece england will play belgium in the third place playoff incent petersburg on sunday they met earlier in the tournament belgium
