/uk alliance is headed. any predictions on the future is headed. >> well, -- >> being the resident expert. >> it is the way of saying i am the oldest, very korean of you. i guess i fall a little bit optimistic of general brooks and pesto similar of victor. i guess when it comes to the mechanics of the way that the u.s. and south korea work together, that's quite well established and developed. we have a kind of a resilience, i'm looking further back than 2009. you know i think -- >> allowed to do that. >> i stipulate i think that is given the alliance a resilience which we need to acknowledge. and i think it's also just inevitable and natural, right now we've turned our attention back to the peninsula and northeast asia and that has to do with north korea's increasing capabilities and the ambitions of kim jong un. i mean whether they are aggressive or not, his own desires. and the changing role of china and the changing role of the u.s. that is where we are going to be focused i think the kind of initiative

if he has the alliance come ashore he would take the alliance.the in 2017 we are in trouble with this kinfor this kind of tg advantage of the situation. they see the alliance is almost a religious myth. in a way it is a good way to secularize because from this perspective the problem but on the other side, if trump secularize us to get to the alliance [inaudible] is good but just beyond the surface what is the role for the peninsula? and also, look at what is happening these days. [inaudible] perhaps it will impact the economy or something like that. and also, think about the position on the strategy enhancing the crisis so those are the issues or the revisions in the coming days. what i would like to see an answer to the question come ashore in north korea is the number one issue, but the focus on all of the other things the united states and korea are doing we have a progressive government and had to talk a lot about north korea, but at the same time they were sending troops to iraq and had a prt in afghanistan and an alliance. we did a visa wa

and certainly stand up for the value of alliances which of course the u.s. -- bed rom alliances with the u.s. alliance, nato relationship. u.s. and canada, u.s. and australia, so many alliances out there and a lot of repair work that need to be

the alliance is strong.t will survive this, and the next american president, of whichever party, of either party, is going to be a strong supporter of nato. >> so the art of the deal, just to expand on nick's point, the president we should credit for the four consecutive years is not obama, and it's not trump. it's putin, okay? the reason the europeans have increased defense spending for four years is because of everything that happened in those sort of six months of early 2014. when the president of the united states castigates and shows disrespect to allied leaders in public, that gets played back into the capitals of the alliance, into the parliaments of the alliance, and actually is counterproductive because they all have a political problem. they face the guns and butter debate in capitals like berlin, for example, and angela merkel has got to go home after getting yelled at in public, right? go home and make her case to increase defense spending. it's not easier when donald trump is yelling at you. so

as the president described it, the greatest alliance the world has seen. it is this deep special relationship and partnership safety ands our security and the safety and security of others around the world. and it is this relationship that helps to ensure there are jobs that employ people here in the u.k. and in the united states, that underpins our prosperity and our future. that is a relationship we should cherish, the relationship we should build on, a relationship which should be proud of. pres. trump: this really is a big and important alliance, and i think people should act positively toward is because it means so much for both countries. so much. steve? go ahead. reporter: thank you, mr. president. what is your current view on brexit? should britain and leave the european union if there is no 31?ement by october and for the prime minister, what would be the ramifications for the u.k. if there is no deal? tos. trump: i don't like take positions on things i am not really -- i understand the issue very well, i really predicted what was going to happen.

the president sounding as if he's talking up the common alliance, an alliance he has criticized in the. one thing we should point out, the president when he was heading off to france earlier this morning leaving where he was staying overnight in ireland, spoke briefly with reporters. he was talking about these negotiations going on back in washington that are aimed at preventing the president's threat of imposing new tariffs on mexico. here's what the president had to say about that. >> we've told mexico the tariffs go on, and i mean it too. and i'm very happy with it. and a lot of people, senator includes, they have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to tariffs. they have absolutely no idea. we're the piggy bank. the united states is the piggy bank. it has all the money others want to take from us. but they're not taking it so easy anymore. it's a lot different. >> reporter: so the president had harsh words to say about mexico, not exactly sending the most diplomatic tone for these talks that the vice president and his team will have later on today back in washington. th

this is d w news live from berlin the greatest alliance the world has ever known donald trump told the relationship between britain and the us on the 2nd day of his state visit to president trump and british prime ministers to resume a trade and special relationship between the 2 countries that as thousands take to the streets to protest against drunk will be the nuff date from london also coming up tonight amid violence sudan's opposition alliance rejects the ruling military council plans to hold elections and marking the 30 years since the massacre in to get on the square as the world pauses to remember those who died fighting for democratic reform in china beijing is trying to raise all the evidence that the massacre ever happened. i'm bring golf it's good to have you with us and we begin tonight in the u.k. where u.s. president donald trump is finishing his 2nd day of a controversial official state visit for a 2nd straight day thousands took to the streets of london to protest the u.s. president even as trump labeled reports of those protests as fake news today trump met with the b

of the alliance. right now it's all about north korea or 232 or about burden sharing and then coming is our transition, so these are all very difficult issues. there's a very positive proactive agenda to the alliance. it was our morning speaker, richard armitage or gentlemen recei -- joseph said, alliances are like tending a garden, if you don't take care of it, weeds will continue to grow. i'm sure joe and her team are doing a lot of these things. i would like to see it in the public narrative of the alliance, especially since the president is going to see moon. >> if i could just add, i think we are doing a good enough job of publicizing some of the things we're doing. under the southern policy of south korea, and endo pacific strategy we have projects that we are working on including a water project in the lower initiative, women's empowerment in laos, so again, i think we haven't done enough talking about the things that we are doing and that we are planning to work on. >> i would love to see pres

by trashing our alliance to the south in ireland before he went.ting here talking about tariffs, not about normandy, and to his staff, that's got to be very frustrated. >> he is on the ground in normandy, and what president trump and president macron are doing is greeting the veterans. 65 landed on the beaches that day. they're all older than 90 at this point, obviously. the u.s. world war ii museum notes that we lose 300 world war ii veterans a day, so that is why these moments are so incredibly important. >> something rousing is happening there in the crowd, and you can see how excited the veterans are to be seeing both presidents. >> and we should know president macron is going to honor five of the u.s. veterans there by name for their service that day for what they did for the world and very much to liberate france 75 years ago at this moment. president saluting there at least one of the u.s. veterans there. >> so we are waiting to hear their remarks, prepared remarks. we know a little bit about what they plan to say, but as jim acosta was poin

for special alliance with very special people big buyers of our equipment for playing which. praises a new deal that sees a deepening of military ties with poland a 1000 extra u.s. troops will be deployed as warsaw buys more than 30 american fighter jets. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our takes here in moscow drawing us this hour. the u.k. home secretary has handed a u.s. extradition request for joining us songs to the courts which will now consider the whistleblowers fate a hearing into the matter is scheduled for this friday edward stache he reports from london. well it's a dark day for doing a silent and his supporters as the u.k.'s home secretary sajid javid has just signed an order paving the way for dear innocents to be extradited to the united states now he himself said that he was pleased that you're innocent just behind bars and that justice will prevail in this procedure we're very pleased that the police were finally able to apprehend him and now he's right behind bars because he broke you cade law i want to see justice done all the time

there was tremendous love and alliance. i did not see any protest, it was a very small group of people. so it was fake news, thank you. prime min. may: and i would say to both the mayor of london and jeremy orbit, the discussions we have had today are about the future of this important relationship between the u.s. and the u.k.. as the president described it, the greatest alliance the world has seen. it is this deep special relationship and partnership that ensures our safety and security and the safety and security of others around the world. and it is this relationship that helps to ensure there are jobs that employ people here in the u.k. and in the united states, that underpins our prosperity and our future. that is a relationship we should cherish, the relationship we should build on, a relationship which should be proud of. pres. trump: this really is a big and important alliance, and i think people should act positively toward is because it means so much for both countries. so much. it has been so good. steve? go ahe

specimens are not big and this really is a very big and important alliance and i think people should act positively toward it because it means so much for both countries means so much and it's been so good to see volunteer steve. thank you mr thing is that on there what is your current view on briggs assertion britain leave the european union if there is no agreement by october 31st and for the prime minister what will be the ramifications for the u.k. if there is not a deal well i don't like to take positions in things that i'm not you know really i understand the issue very well i. really predicted what was going to happen some of you remember that prediction it was a strong prediction made at a certain location on a development we were opening the day before it happened and i thought it was going to happen because of immigration more than anything else but probably it happens for a lot of reasons but i would say yes i would think that it will happen and it probably should happen this is a great great country and it wants its own identity it wants to have its own borders it wants t

polish alliance it's a very special alliance with very special people poland will still provide. basing an infrastructure to support military presence of about $1000.00 american troops polish government will pay for this so america is bolstering its military presence in poland they are adding to the $4500.00 troops that are already in the country on a rotating basis now it sounds dramatic but it's actually somewhat short of the request from poland for a permanent us military base which they intended to name for trump in the end the usa agreed to shift non-combat troops to poland who had already been stationed elsewhere in europe so who are the poles trying to defend themselves from because. russia is again showing its unkind unfriendly imperial face russia is always looking out to take us territory yes those menacing russians on whole one's border just waiting for the right moment to invade but it seems that donald trump doesn't quite share that view do not see the rush to read the whole 1000000 and 2 euros. i hope. we're with everybody and i hope i think that russia will treat p

can you talk about our alliance with japan a little bit? i can talk about our alliance in japan. a year with times japanese counterpart. until a week or two ago, it would be hard for me that went by week where i didn't have a conversation. japanese-u.s. relationship as highlighted by the president's recent trip is a cornerstone to our strategy in country that d a shares our view of a free and open pacific. for a capability perspective as suggested, the japanese self-defense force is making significant investments to and enhance their defensive capability and their ability to deter in the region, -35, the b-22 missiles and so forth. that is in my view, one of the right views in my assignment has been the bilateral relationship with the japanese and by wait, the various arrangements in the pacific that involve both the united states and japan. > i want to stay on that for one quick second if i could, general, throw myself back into japanese are the of g this by spending 1% gdp, a long imposed ceiling on themselves. how do we best measure burden aaring, the 2% goal for nato, lot of

. >> alliance, absolutely.y to do it justice, but being here is different. it is an unbelievable experience. and as we look at the sacrifice and the bravery and the commitment and the unity that were shown by the young men pouring out of those boats -- >> that's the french. so beautiful. >> it's hard not to keep in mind the elements of that day and how much coincidence was on the side of the allied forces, from the weather to luck in many ways. >> there was an enormous amount -- obviously, nothing diminishes the courage and the thinking and the planning and the preparation, which is astonishing that they were able to leave port, go back to port and come back. and the germans didn't know what was happening. but you talk about elements of luck. it happened to be at a time when the generals in this region had all gone to a city south of here and convened there for the weekend. rommel had left his headquarters, driven by car all the way to germany for his birthday. his wife's birthday, i guess. and celebrated it wa

british alliance, the greatest alliance the world has ever known. as we mentioned earlier, the president has expressed his support of boris johnson as the future prime minister and he met with boris johnson, but he didn't say what they talked about. he was asked if his opinion of jeremy corbin, the labor leader, and he said that he wanted to meet with him and the president said, i told him no, he is somewhat of a negative force. >> the president has not been shy about taking shots at some politicians and london including the mayor of london. he also heard him talk about him saying he is a negative force, and then with jeremy corbin, and the president just a couple of days ago talk about jeremy corbin sake, saying if he did, the president would have to get to know him better before sharing intelligence with them. >> that is a significant. >> jeremy cordova does have a chance of becoming prime minister. if that were to happen, obviously the relationship between he and president trump would start out in a very negative place. >> then tracy in london, t

clearly there are problems in the alliance. but this is a successful model of what two nations can do together when they work.

the strength of the alliance, the birth of the alliance, the importance of the alliance. many world leaders said. nato leaders will be listening to hear closely. president macron thanked the veterans. said we understand the debt we owe america and the debt we owe you. find the veterans who are there, singled out five to make them knights of the legion of honor. he said he hoped our generations would be worthy of the sacrifice they made. again they pointed out the deep need for this kind of commitment to freedom and democracy, particularly in the hour the dark forces are once again resurgent in europe and, in fact, across the atlantic as well. this was very, very important messages delivered by both presidents and by the presence of those veterans who have secured our future and our presence here today. >> what stands out to me is the gratitude that's been shown. we continue to see it before us as we look at more pictures. president trump going through the crowd thanking as many people as he can. the french president emmanuel macron practically diving into the crowd with a

it was an alliance. and i didn't see the protesters until just a little while ago and it was a very, very small group of people put in for political reasons. so it was fake news. thank you. >> and i would say to both the mayor of london and to jeremy corbyn, the discussions that we have had today are about the future of this most important relationship between the u.s. and the uk. as the president described it, the greatest alliance the world has seen. it is this deep, special relationship and partnership between the united states and the united kingdom that ensures our safety and security and the safety and security of others around the world, too. and it is this relationship that helps to ensure there are jobs that employ people here in the uk and in the united states, that underpins our prosperity and our future. that is a relationship we should cherish. it is a relationship we should build on. it is a relationship we should be proud of. mr. president, would you like to -- >> very big -- this really i

president trump will talk about those alliances. and frankly, that is a message that will be welcome to other european nations here, particularly, for example, to macron, to may who want to show the president and to hear from the president that he understands how important that bond is, and those traditional alliances that post-world order, if you will. the president on his way to the plane to head over to where we are, because remember, he overnighted in ireland. we are obviously here on the shores of normandy here in france before returning back to ireland tonight. the president had something else on his mind. he was thinking more it seemed domestic policies as he approached reporters who traveled with him and talked about an issue that is happening at home, the issue of tariffs on mexico. the deadline on monday, the president threatening again he will implement those tariffs, even after trade talks yesterday between the mexican foreign minister and the vice-president. here's what president trump had to say. >> i think it's going

>> its alliance with russia. >> it's the russian alliance, which forces the german army to divide its forces, and the second would be the impact of the brits. but the russians in the beginning even more so, right? well, it hant changed. here's russia -- it hadn't changed. here's russia still. now, liberal pragmatic french diplomats understood that so much that they even formed a non aggression pact with the russians in 1935, which is ratified by the french chamber in february of 1936. in fact, hitler used that as the excuse to remilitarize the rhind -- rhineland. perfect for the brits. they loved it. look, they are making an alliance with the bolsheviks, the judeo-bolsheviks. this is crazy, he says. we are the defenders of the west. we must be able to defend ourselves. that's why we have to remilitarize the rhineland. the french go to the brits and the brits say we don't want any part of this. don't go further with this. or you cannot count on us. so they actually have a military pact that they do nothing to strengthen for three whole years while hitler is making his gains all across

alliance has become a comprehensive strategic alliance that strengthens cooperation in not only security but global issues. such steadfast u.s. alliance is working as the linchpin for regional peace, stability, and prosperity. and we have decided to continue in close coordination. >> translator: i believe this is a victory for both countries as we have this institutional framework with the course of -- today our two leaders have agreed to further accelerate the momentum to expand trade and investment and further expand the course alliance to a reciprocal license as well in region sxl global issues as well our two countries will continue to work very closely together as strong allies. the asia pacific region is a core region for peace and prosperity for both countries. under the regional cooperation principles of openness, inclusiveness and transparency i believe that korea's new southern policy and the u.s. indo-pacific strategy can find common ground. recently we have shared in our concerns related to the attack on the oil tankers in the gulf of oman and the escalation of tension in the

it's the greatest alliance the world has ever known. don tran says the united states is committed to a trade deal with britain as he is how stressed as well how to meet the european union. and i'm fully back to boyer watching al-jazeera live from doha also coming up. palin is hearing for says put on a show of strength in sudan's capital a day after dozens of protesters.

i certainly hope that our president sees the value of those alliances and so exemplified by the alliancewar ii. it's telling that the next time that we might have to have unilateral approach to winning a war is climate change and you have famous friction between donald trump and emmanuel macron about climate change. president trump being a climate denier and macron being -- having climate change being a central part of his policy. we walked away, of course, from the paris climate accords. and so that is something that i think that we might rethink in the years ahead. and might be the next effort that we have with citizens of the globe. >> how do you think, ann, other world leaders, both on the stage and watching back at home or at port smith yesterday where another commemoration, are viewing the president trump that we saw today? >> i think they're seeing where he's moved in two years and it is definitely from most european leaders' point of view in the right direction. yes, he walked away from paris and the iran deal, two things the leaders cared very much about, but he's not throwing b

/polish alliance and a very special alliance for very special people, and again the relationship is an extraordinary one and will mean that for a long time. thank you very much mr. president [ applause ] >> thank you mr. president and wonderful first lady of the united states of america distinguish ministers, all distinguished guests ladies and gentlemen. first and foremost got together with my wife who want to thank you very much mr. president, donald trump and thank you to the first lady, one your job and thank you for the opportunity of holding a special visit with the united states. here at the white house, this really demonstrates how close and how good contacts are today between poland and the united states. mr. president, all of us hope that you will visit us in all in september and that we will be able together to commemorate those who fell and perished through the second world war which started on the first of september poland to the attacks of germans on our country and unfortunately our country vanished after this attack together with [ null ] germany. that is our history, d

that's alliance and its approaches to continue that fight for full civility and. that. joined now by jason pat's again a journalist in khartoum treasonist good to have you on the show tonight you've been out and about talking to protesters in court today i mean what are they telling you well today i visited a hospital where many of the wounded from the massacre yesterday who are seeking treatment and also people on the streets and with set up barricades in their neighborhoods to prevent the red support forces which is the militia that seems to have carried out the mess for yesterday and the crucial thing is that i didn't talk to any protester who was willing to back down basically despite this unbelievable level of violence. people are still holding holding strong least in terms of. in terms of not backing down from the know it's heard they're still commanding a civilian government they're still to mincing freedom and democracy. so in fact there is one quote that one person said they said well even though the revolution has been going from december now is when it starts

the saudi can really create an alliance against iran in a region. well they can they can create a rhetorical alliance against iran in the region but not a military one because the saudis don't fight they have trouble enough keeping do things out of now john in southern saudi arabia they have an air force of course. even in yemen they have not been able to deal a decisive blow against 23 rebels. so do only a potent military force in the gulf is the united arab emirates they have a strong military and a very good air force but it's a very small country. egypt has a big military but doesn't want to get involved in fighting part of this alliance pakistan outside the region doesn't want to get involved in this way except rhetorically israelis are interested in some kind of alliance against iran because it's the common enemy at the same time the israelis have to own agenda their own way of doing things and so they know that they cannot rely on the saudis to do any fighting so what is actually happening is that all of them are looking at the united states

and new alliance of euro skeptic parties in the european parliament say they're ready to oppose the extension of anti russian sanctions. a warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me the caring. the u.s. has accused iran of attacking 2 or oil tankers in the goals of amman and sent missile destroyers to the area the un security council has just held an emergency session on the incident and there was an angry exchange between the u.s. and iranian and voice. the united states assesses that iran is responsible for these attacks iran categorically rejects the u.s. unfounded claim with regard to the 13th of june all tank incidents and condemns it in the strongest possible terms. right after the 2 tankers caught fire u.s. secretary of state mark pompei was quick to point the finger as iran. well the u.s. secretary of state is placing blame for the incident regarding to oil tankers he says that the islamic republic of iran is responsible and that that is the position of the united states this is what we heard earlier from mike pompei oh it is the assessment of the united states government

and the new alliance of euro skeptic parties in the european parliament of announce that they oppose the extension of the sanctions. ok it is good to have you with us thanks for joining this is r.t. international. said that washington believes iran was behind the attack on 2 because in the gulf of oman during a press briefing he called around a threat to international peace and security and has details. well the u.s. secretary of state is placing blame for the incident regarding to oil tankers he says that the islamic republic of iran is responsible and that that is the position of the united states this is what we heard earlier from mike pompei oh it is the assessment of the united states government that the islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of amman today these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to international peace and security a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and an unacceptable campaign of escalating tension by iran now 2 oil tankers were involved along with $44.00 crew members that were on board those oil ta

a new alliance if you were a skeptic parties in the european parliament say they're ready to oppose the extension of anti russian the function of. a warm welcome you what you are saying international with me carrying. the u.s. navy has sense a guided missile destroyer to the site of 2 all tonka fires in the gulf of amman there and there are now 2 american warships in the area and this comes after secretary of state might pompei of accuse iran of attacking the tankers and branded the country a threat to international peace and security in his state house well the u.s. secretary of state is placing blame for the incident regarding to oil tankers he says that the islamic republic of iran is responsible and that that is the position of the united states this is what we heard earlier from mike pompei oh it is the assessment of the united states government that the islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman today these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to international peace and security a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and

alliance has become a strategic alliance that strengths cooperation in not only security and global issuessuch sed fast rock u.s. alliance is working as the linchpin for regional peace, stability and prosperity and we have decided to continue in close coordination. >> as president trump has said i believe that this is a victory for both countries as we have an institutional framework. our two leaders have agreed to further accelerate the momentum to expand trade and investment and further expand the alliance to a mutual reciprocal economic alliance as well. in regional and global issues as well our two countries will continue to work very closely together. the asia pacific region is a core region for peace and prosperity for both countries. under the regional -- of openness, and transparency i believe korea's new southern poll and i is the u.s. endo pacific strategy can find common ground. recently we have shared in our concerns related to the attack on the oil tankers in the gulf of oman, and the escalation of tension in the middle east, of freedom of passage and transit in the gulf of om

you know, these alliances are enlightened self-interest.not a question of, you know, "i want to put my couny first, rather than this kind of amorphous alliance." no, putting my country first means being part of this alliance. it's important that europe understands that america looking after its own intereich is natural, does not mean america ignoring the importance of this bedrock alliance. america is not going to be the only center of power by the middle of this century, you're gonna have three giants in the world.al important people understand this. you're gonna have america, china, probably india. those three economies are gonna be so much bigger than the fourth -- each one of them is gonna be so much big so, this is the reason for the european union, 'cause if went o sit at the table with the giants and not get sat on by them, we've got to band together. the china-america relationship will be crucial to the way this century develops. it's better for america to have a strong europe alongside it. >> we do need to make the case for liberal

please get the microphone. >> sam vail with public policy, board of trade alliance. senator, we appreciate very much what you do but i would like to get some clarification when you talk about port improvements acts, is there any room in there for what really could get funds going faster, which would be public/private partnerships that would allow big ticket items to ultimately be reimbursed by the government but over a period of time that -- not like a -- like capital lease, but more of an operational lease, five to ten years at a time, that way you get a lot more money for the buck, more nonintrusive stuff in. so we're very curious about that. there seems to be some questions on how that could operate. but we would certainly encourage you and your staff to do something in that area. >> well, sam, my understanding is -- well, a few years ago we passed a pilot project that allowed for the use of public/private partnerships, i believe you and the board of trade alliance were instrumental in convincing me that we needed to do that. that now has been expanded and made pe

not only the security for the broad us alliance has become a comprehensive strategic alliance, that strengthensbal issues by such a steadfast alliance is working as the linchpin for regional peace and prosperity and we have decided to continue in co—ordination. translation: as president trump said, i believe this is great. today, our two leaders have agreed to further accelerate the momentum to further accelerate the momentum to expand trade and investment and further expand the alliance to a mutually reciprocal advice are two countries will continue to work closely as strong allies. the asia—pacific region is a core region for peace and prosperity for both countries. under openness, inclusiveness and transparency, i believe the two strategies can find common ground. recently, we have shared our concerns related to the attack on the oil tankers in the 6ulf attack on the oil tankers in the gulf of vermont. freedom a passage in transit in the gulf of oman is very important for the stability of the middle east. i have high regard for the careful restraint showed by president trump and we have agre

japanese carmaker nissan is the number two shareholder and crucially is in alliance with renault.ns between the two companies are strained and have been since the alliance's architect carlos ghosn was arrested in november. he denies charges of financial misconduct. his resignation will be confirmed today and there will also be a vote on whether or not he should get last year's bonus, but his legacy reaches far beyond his pay. anna—marie baisden, head of autos, fitch solutions joins me now. nice to see you again. there are so much to talk about at this agm, the shareholders will have a lot of questions. if we look at the fiat chrysler merger to begin with, that was looking promising and it came to a swift halt. yes, all the signs we re a swift halt. yes, all the signs were that everyone seemed to be moving in that direction. and then it came, as you say, very abruptly toa it came, as you say, very abruptly to a halt. it depends who you talk to a halt. it depends who you talk to is to wipe it down. there is french government involvement, whether it was nissan not supporting it, we d

and that of course, an alliance this president has questioned.tioned about how rock solid the american commitment is to it, perhaps that's a message here that the uk wants to try to contradict to some degree. and show the importance of that partnership. >> as we look at this role of pictures, this is at the queen's gallery, as it's known, in buckingham palace, where the wean was showing the president key american artifacts and works of art. in the background, you can see his hawkish national security adviser john bolton. that's another issue, that the british will want to talk carefully about when it comes to political discussions because the british do not believe in pulling out of the iran nuclear deal, like many, many people on this side of the atlantic, they're incredibly worried that some kind of conflict erupts in the persian gulf between the united states and iran. we have seen what happened in the iraq war in 2002, that did not work out well for anybody, least of all iraq, least of all the united states and europe, with the refugee crisis

the headlines: president trump hails the relationship with britain as the ‘greatest alliance the worldas ever known‘, but reveals he refused an invitation to meet jeremy corbyn. the president said he is happy to meet the labour leader. ididn't i didn't think it was appropriate to meet him but i would, i certainly would, i would have no problem with it. meanwhile the labour leader led anti—trump demonstrations in london as hundreds of people took to the streets. i want to be able to have that dialogue to bring about the better and more peaceful world. the protests also had some violence, one trump supporter was hit with a milkshake and had to be escorted to safety by police. also coming up: in the tory leadership race, conservatives have agreed changes to speed up the contest to succeed theresa may as prime minister. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, the writer and columnist christina patterson, and the associate director at the institute of economic affairs, kate andrews. stay with us for that. president donald trump has praised the relatio
