7:04 am
a state funk quids held in his all now and it did pretty much go up for wanting to pull he didn't seem to be on his best behavior but you know what may have been taken. on the protest a it's really a jewel in a pretty huge crowd it took jeremy corbin the labor leader the leader of the opposition the boy called the banquet yesterday at buckingham palace but he is
7:05 am
expected to speak at the demonstration today now it's moving off. into a different area of central london but the a ray of people i've seen here i've spoken to a couple of people dressed as the spawn of satan saying that they want donald trump in the underworld he shouldn't be on us any more there is a man who has built a massive trump toilets which we showed a little bit earlier on with donald trump on the loose firing off tweets so very imaginative demonstrates his intrigue british spirit and actually speaking of imaginative protest there is the famous song baby that's been foisted above harlem and just down the road from here the director of the museum of london has said that she wants it as possible prominent collection because it shows how a protest iconic protest dog like that can really cause public imagination now some
7:06 am
people on so pleased with this kind of adversarial approach towards the u.s. leader he is off to roll the president of the u.k.'s biggest ally it now government ministers and some conservative m.p.'s have criticised this rather critical approach on behalf of some politicians ahead of the visit to the matter of london and a pretty scathing op ed about the us president comparing him to a fascist criticizing his policies so when trump landed here on u.k. soil he replied by calling city hall on the. stone cold which just goes to say that on the sunfish he may be i think like a very well behaved schoolboy but when the queen outs him either he could still be getting off snorting tricks behind the bike sheds and firing off those tweets making out a comment section take part in a press conference a little bit later on will be very interesting to see what happens when someone
7:07 am
gets a mike the face in front of him. point blank or bring us the latest from london they think you know. we're now joined live by member of the european parliament for scotland within the group david coburn for more on this now what will come of trump's meeting with may that's going on right now. well i think bill being changing views in hawaii all day of my chinese current and various other issues but of course she's the outgoing prime minister and she's always seen not on his wavelength i always see seems more in choosing. the people will probably be coming in and also with mr for raj obrecht the party. and since we won very handsomely the bridge party were very handsomely you know you probably want to listen to our side of the story because that's where the future lies
7:08 am
obviously a trade deal is what we want with the united states and what amuses me wants one is another question. we need one with the united states is a huge boost to britain. but it's something that's not being achieved very easily by the e.u. so we'll we'll be able to get a really good deal with the united states would be great for jobs for everything. now that fabled special relationship between the 2 countries has gotten a bit battered as of late do you think that this trip will do something to help fix that. audio there was tim battered i think since mr. mr trump has got and he's he's very popular in the united states and he's popular with a good number of people in this country as well as you can see by the victory of the brics that party. they the atmosphere has changed nigel is very supportive of president trump and i think he is on the same wavelength so i think britain is
7:09 am
ruling in the same direction as the united states in terms of policy in all makes trade and if we are as i said if we can get those fabulous trade deals with the united states great for britain great for breaks. now terms of course weighed in on the tory leadership race before he arrived how likely do you think there is between a meeting with him and boris johnson. but i i i i wouldn't know but i would just think that probably a good chance of them getting together for a chat i think that's something that that the president would want to do. it makes sense i mean with treason is hanging on by her her polish fingernails to to the office of state simply to be here when present chump arrived to stop a boris all module for oswald or anybody else meeting and that's what she was trying to do is so desperate to hang on cling on desperately by what
7:10 am
a clause in the the door jambs of number 10 until after this or this visit because she's essentially a media and she wants to do our bit for the european union member of the european parliament for scotland within the group david coburn thank you for your time and your comments. race based genocide that's how a canadian government report has been a decades of violence against the country's indigenous population the study was unveiled on monday at a ceremony and prime minister justin trudeau who was present except that mistakes had been made although he was heckled for failing to use the word genocide. here many decades indigenous women and girls across canada have disappeared suffered violence or been killed. and our justice system has failed.
7:11 am
this is an uncomfortable day for canada. entitled reclaiming power and place the report took almost 3 years to compile the inquiry heard more than 2000 witness testimonies and claims the canadian justice system is based on the values of a settler colonial society and fails to include indigenous concepts of justice the probe states the deaths or disappearance of thousands of women have likely gone unreported and it myths that no one knows an exact number although estimates put the figure at around 4000 the report also includes multiple accounts of victims and their relatives here's one of their stories i was he and this was literally just a month and a half before my sister loretta was murdered she was stack's to me she was like what are you doing delilah this is not just one abrasion a woman or girl this is being considered a national epidemic we heard from the chair of indigenous governance from ryerson
7:12 am
university she says the state has done nothing to address the problem. there's a whole bunch of really you know problematic criminal activity as regards to indigenous women and girls and it's been on addressed for all of these decades until this inquiry on a light on it i am calling on all canadians and inside other countries around the world to put political pressure on both our federal government and all of our provincial governments to do something and to actually investigate state actors who are complicit or directly involved in the murders exploitations and disappearances of indigenous women and girls this state has done nothing about it so they've been very complicit in the ongoing sexualized violence and murders of indigenous women and girls but canadians haven't been able to put all of those pieces together until now. and you had contact group and the lima group comprised of latin american
7:13 am
countries and canada are calling on the international community to be more active and restoring democracy and crisis script to venezuela both groups of course their support for the country's opposition leader on guard oh back in january he proclaimed himself about as well as interim president and since then has led to failed attempts to outs nicolas maduro from power while the situation needs to be a businesswoman when you're rigid do you rejoin i mean back to of the crisis require the region and the international community to plea a more active for all you support in a prompt return you did more in been istra canada was one of the 1st countries to throw its support behind why go and has now announced it's temporarily shutting down its embassy and caracas but as it were trying to reports canada has been trying to overthrow the venezuelan government for at least 5 years. so canada's embassy in caracas is shutting its doors for some time because the government there
7:14 am
is denying canadian diplomats the required accreditation and here's how the person in charge of foreign affairs in canada puts it as venezuela slides deeper into dictatorship and as venezuelans continue to suffer at the hands of the illegitimate majeure regime the regime has taken steps to limit the ability of foreign embassies to function in venezuela but secretly those advocating for the restoration of democracy in venezuela so for the officials and the media in canada the story is more than clear bad guy i'm a duro is at it again doing whatever he wants in the country like it says plaything taking yet another shot a democracy question that anyone would bother to look into the reasons why canadian diplomats are showing the red card in caracas this was canada's previous ambassador to the latin american country ben rosewell although he wasn't even officially
7:15 am
accepted by the door government either anyway mr rose well once rally took up the job of sorting out human rights issues and men as well we have established quite a significant internet presence inside venezuela so that we can then engage tens of thousands of venezuelan citizens in a conversation on human rights we became one of the most vocal embassies and speaking out in human rights issues and encouraging venezuelans to speak out well that's probably a great thing to do though when you think about it if mr rove's role was a russian ambassador and as well o. or elsewhere he'd be destroyed by the western media as a meddling agent but we're talking about canadian diplomats write their embassy came up with a special human rights prize an award which only ended up being given to doro haters say officials in caracas and. front of the likes of the wife of the old holdall lopez the man who's been pulling the strings of venezuela's opposition for
7:16 am
years and allegedly backed an anti-government coup caracas even suspected canada's embassy is being used as a covert channel to bring in agents with an alleged mission to stir up on rest. there are reports of members of an internationally known intelligence agency being brought into venezuela through canada's diplomatic mission it is estimated that in the past 3 months some 30 agents specialized in destabilizing activities entered venezuela this way back to former ambassador rose will have a look at what kind of message he brought home for lawmakers they are united in their insistence for change they support their democratically leaders democratically elected leaders in the national assembly stability will only return to venezuela once it has a government whose legitimacy is accepted by its citizens with that manner of advice what else do you expect from ottawa but to spearhead the and tama door
7:17 am

7:19 am
from venezuela a claim 1st appeared in the wall street journal. across this development for us and joins us live from the kremlin feeling the need to dispel some false words what's this all about they certainly do and this story seems to be going round in circles from an accusation all tickle to dismissal of the accusations to confusion and back to the accusation the article so let me explain on sunday the wall street journal they published an article claiming that the russian military and technical personnel in venezuela were living on mass reducing the numbers from a 1000 to just a few dozen and the reason that they gave for that mass exodus was a lack of contracts and the fact that moscow had the power and discovered that caracas had a lack of funds to pay for the services of a military high tech hardware corporation called rustic now this was news to the corporation itself and last i could come out and made a statement about this article this is what they say and i quote the figures
7:20 am
provided in the piece by the wall street journal have been exaggerated tens of times the numbers of a. stuff there has remained the same for many years and that's from the press service of rostock. on tuesday this saga has continued and we've had a response from yes and no one the u.s. president donald trump during his controversial state visit in the u.k. he's taken to his favorite medium which is twitter and this is what he said. russia has informed us that they have removed most of their people from venezuela. so as you can see from that tweet he's very confident in implying that everything that was written in the wall street journal article was indeed true that he's had direct contact contact with the russian official well this is caused russia to respond again this time the government officials have responded from the kremlin directly dmitri pisk of has come out and said that there were no official
7:21 am
statements about a mass exodus from venezuela or of their military and technical personnel they've said that categorically people are still working there so that there could never have been a statement his pissed off. there have been loads fishel indications from the russians regarding the withdrawal of russian specialists from venezuela and there could never have been any. so as you can see the wall street journal says one thing russia the corp roster and the kremlin have denied any withdrawal at all we've yet to see if we're going to get another response on twitter from trump or indeed an explanation from the wall street journal. thank you for bringing us that report. newly elected ukrainian president below to meet the lenski is making his 1st foreign trip as a leader he's meeting european officials in brussels in a bid to bolster ties the former actor will also meet with nato secretary general
7:22 am
the e.u. was initially cautious about selenski the presidential candidate fearing he may discontinue reforms but has since welcomed his election during his campaign the only european leader who met with him was the french president a manual mccrone boy to kiev has accused prefer selenski rival the previous ukrainian president petro poroshenko. and so i think there is a little bit of frustration in zelinsky teen do draw it to show you know engagement with. us did not do that. pleased with this in fact president poroshenko was complaining to us that we weren't doing enough to support him and our response was consistently we don't pick people when zelinsky won in a landslide victory with over 70 percent of the votes the united states embassy was 1st to congratulate him it also then to partially go for his efforts to further democracy in ukraine the united states claims it was neutral regarding who would
7:23 am
win but during the election campaign itself the ambassador was asked if his alinsky was the right person for the koreans to unite around and his reply and it up looking very much like an endorsement of par shango. is vladimir's lenski the former actor who is now the front runner in the presidential election this month the person around whom ukraine can coalesce it's an candidate who has established himself as against the establishment and now the ukrainian public is faced with this choice do they want someone who is just going against the establishment promising massive reform or do they want someone who maybe has been disappointing to them in some respects but has done more on reform than anyone else and ukraine for the past 20 years and stood up to putin. we're joined live now by martin mccauley an author and russian analyst now is volker right did the e.u. prefer person go. what coat filter is a very experienced diplomat a high remember him from the era so therefore he's
7:24 am
a specialist on the soviet union in the post soviet state special ukraine for the for the last 30 years so therefore he knows the situation very very clearly and from that interview he reveals that he would have preferred to continue because he said he saw persian go as a safe pair of hands he does a lot with the me he was there buses are there he knew him he knew the situation very well. who was trying to engage in reforms in the economy judiciary and showing fight corruption and so on put it into the day the people of ukraine said he hadn't done enough it's all right to be introducing reforms but at the end of the day what we want is a higher standard of living therefore the economy has to work for us and it's ok to talk about the judiciary and anti corruption and so on and therefore they turn to
7:25 am
his alinsky in the hope that he will be more successful than punishing so called philcon know how we'll have to work with selenski because alliance people know that . he wasn't his 1st choice but it is up to zelinsky then to grow into the procedure to do the job because he has no experience of the pros a new experience of economic reform judicial reform that centra. even though your law degree but then will be in a delicate position where he will guide him towards what the americans would really prefer him to do which would be to make sure that ukraine becomes a self-sustaining democracy and that's very very difficult because over the last 25 years ukraine has not made enough progress in that direction and partition could complain to focus that the united states was in the. enough. to go then say it's not up to the united states to do what you should be doing. ukraine
7:26 am
is a sovereign state and you are the leader of that state and therefore it's up to you to put food put forward and push through reforms so how do you see u.s. ukraine ties panning out under the landscape. i think philco will be wary of criticizing zelinsky because it have to get to know him and zelinsky surrounded himself with advisors and ministers who were who had fallen out with publishing co so that he would be aware he would know many of these people and he will tread very carefully because you are a very skilled diplomat very experienced and he will not attempt to dictate to the landscape he will encourage it still and to continue the same path as publishing career especially going for. economic reform and judicial reform and especially the rule of law in
7:27 am
a way to counter corruption. the key question is the military of course full quiz asked about would the united states provide more lethal weapons to the ukrainian military and he gave a very diplomatic response which was it's up to ukraine the ukrainian military to become more professional so they can ensure the security of your crane and he didn't say yes or no but that would be one of the questions which will will come up should the united states arm. selenski ukraine to a greater extent with more lethal weapons than under pressure because the united states at the end of the day doesn't want a conflict between a military conflict between ukraine and russia they don't want that and they want the situation solved as quickly as possible donald trump would like basically to waters hands of ukraine because to him is a secondary issue and therefore the policy will be please could you come to some
7:28 am
agreement with russia if that's possible when we don't have a whole lot of time left but i did want to ask you if walker clearly preferred parsing himself why is he saying this sort of claims at the. well you can make statements like that the year when the e.u. policy has always been busy the ukraine becomes pro western and if you develop a relationship with the e.u. it is developing a relationship with the e.u. and so on and i think the crisis at present because they there's one big question and that's brics that therefore everything else is secondary so therefore very often it's policy is not really very direct and very clear. it will be there and he's a safe pair of hands martin mccauley author and russia analyst thank you for your time and your comments. thank you that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now and thanks for tuning it.
