majeed khan. when he arrived in his ambassadorial position here in january, has long and deep experience both in washington working on u.s. issues and at the ministry in islamabad, and most recently serving as ambassador to japan, before coming here. he has an outstanding sense of not only the dynamics with the u.s., but globally, in particular asia security. so we are honored to have you here with us, ambassador. what we're going to do is, i will ask a few questions to get the discussion started, and then, we are going to turn it into another discussion -- turn it into a broader discussion. i have also invited. the ambassador if at anytime he wants to ask you all a question or me a question about what is going on in this very predictable, rational environment which we live and in washington that we are fair game. everyone should understand that it is meant to be a two-way conversation. ambassador is a diplomat and talented one, so i will mainly focus on foreign policy issues. but as you get start

beneath the president of the united states. —— sadiq khan.ole as commander—in—chief, part of the reason he is here is to commemorate the 75th anniversary of d—day, you think these tweets are inappropriate in that sense? they are anyway but the fact is, his primary role is to be commander—in—chief of the united states and he's coming here for a very serious and sombre commemoration this week, of the d—day landings, and i think he needs to be more presidential in that sense, particularly on the day, just to maybe leave his phone behind. but this is a president who is all about the controversial rather than the diplomatic. he is, and he is all about style, perhaps more than substance we might say and i think this is more about the style and the pomp and ceremony, of which there will be lots, but probably put a light on substance. in a way that's not bad because it means he can come and have what he wanted, which is the three days of ceremonial recognition, then he can leave again and maybe there will be nothing concrete that comes of it. one of

"a stone—cold loser" after mr khan said he didn't agree with the visit.espite being kept well away from the presidential motorcade all day, protestors say they'll make their voices heard, throughout mr trump's visit. and the leader of the labour party, jeremy corbyn, says he will speak as an anti— trump rally tomorrow. hello and a very warm welcome. i am christian fraser outside buckingham palace, where president trump has been attending a banquet hosted by the queen at the end of this, his first state visit to britain. the queen and the president spoke warmly of the shared sacrifice made by men and women from the us and the uk during the d—day landings 75 years ago this week. at the leader of the opposition, jeremy corbyn, stayed away from the banquet, declining his imitation, as did some other politicians. this is a first report from john sobel. it contains some flashing images. the state banquet in the baltimore buckingham palace. white tie for men, long white gloves for men, long white gloves or women, medals, insignia, ntr is welcome. the centrepiece

such a personal attack on sadiq khan. yes, ithink such a personal attack on sadiq khan.ause, richard, thank you, as get you to pause, richard, thank you , as we get you to pause, richard, thank you, as we watch air force one taxi, soon to a standstill at stansted airport. and the president and melania trump will be coming to the residency of the us ambassador in central london, where we are. welcome to viewers on bbc two, joining viewers on the bbc news channel as we watch air force one about to come to a standstill at sta nsted about to come to a standstill at stansted airport, about to come to a standstill at sta nsted airport, touching about to come to a standstill at stansted airport, touching down in the last few minutes, bringing on board, of course, the a5th president of the united states, donald trump, along with the first lady, melania trump. as he was in the airjust before he touched down, donald trump tweeted about the mayor of london, the city in which he will spend the next two days, saying sadiq khan, who by all accounts

in a tweet he claimed sadiq khan had been a terrible mayor, who'd been nasty to him, describing mr khanold loser". i think, if you look at his tweet, he was not exactly saying he was going to be inviting sadiq khan for royal treatment at the white house anytime soon. as mr trump flew above the city over which mr khan presides, he knew he'd exacted revenge for the mayor's earlier accusation that the president's far right politics were a threat to liberal democracies. the president is staying with the us ambassador, who's also courted controversy, suggesting the nhs should be part of any trade deal with the united states. other controversies include the president's support for borisjohnson to be the next prime minister, and mr trump's threat to limit intelligence cooperation with the uk if it chooses the chinese telecoms company huawei to build part of the 56 network here — the president wanting to build an international coalition against the company. where we have seen one element of an effort of the us looking to gain allies, it's not in confronting china on trade at large, but solely o

mr khan said he didn't agree with the visit.t he said to me was consistent with what was in his tweet, let's put it like that. there is always controversy around president trump's visits anywhere. that is part of the deal with president trump. i'm annita mcveigh live from winfield house, the us ambassador's residence, where the president is staying. later this afternoon, president trump will visit westminster abbey then return to buckingham palace for a state banquet there this evening. also coming up on afternoon live, all the sport withjohn watson. yes, england have been struggling for wickets in their second match of the world cup. they're taking on pakistan. and chris fawkes has all the weather yes indeed but we are going to look at some changes after what has been the hottest day of the year so far. yesterday temperatures reached 29 but the week ahead is looking u nsettled but the week ahead is looking unsettled which is good news for some of the gardeners, we had quite a dry spell of weather in may for most areas. i will h

so it is sadiq khan's fault?e number one trading partner, sorry, the number one political, economic and social ally with this country. calling him a fascist is disgraceful to the american people. and it is disgraceful to the office of the american president. the responding about his height...” mean, it's unhelpful. but what else would sadiq khan expect? he knows the way that trump deals with this kind of stuff. and sadiq khan was trying to elicit a reaction to get this kind of conversation started. which is true, is it not? this tweet shows exactly what we are saying with the baby, which is that trump does not communicate in the way that someone does not communicate in the way that someone in his position should. he doesn't respond well to reason, science or facts, and he communicates in insults. he is a big bully and a big baby reflects that. sadiq khan was also in the insults game. i think sadiq khan has every right to call donald trump a 20th—century right to call donald trump a 20th—ce ntury fascist. right to

the reason he was so angry at sadiq khan was because of comments mr khan had made, calling donald trumpmy hunt, was amongst the party to greet the president. he was asked about those tweets. but was asked about those tweets. but was rather diplomatic about it when questioned. this is a president who we got used to being very controversial and very competent. but, you know, he has made the comments. i actually agree with him that it is totally inappropriate for the labour party to be boycotting this incredibly important visit. this is the president of the united states. we are celebrating the d—day landings when we had a million american servicemen stationed in the uk willing to risk their lives for our liberty, for democracy, for our values. and i think this should be above party politics. i think it's absolutely disgraceful, not least frankly because today in the newspapers the labour party itself is being accused of turning a blind eye to sexism in the labour party headquarters, to anti—semitism by its candidate in peterborough. i think we have to put of these things aside, and rememb

here is de blasio with khan. for comparison, that looks like that picture from guinness book of record, tallest guy, and shortest woman, maybe less than half his height. as far as protests, they have been small so far, tomorrow larger demonstrations are expected across london, as many as 300 thousand they hit the street with balloons and toys, their there is, baby trump blimp, come on, you have to get crecreative, we've already seen this one, it no longer shocking. let's talk to our party panel, attorney, fox news contributor emily, with capri ca caforio, go buckeyes, chris baron. >> welcome. >> howdy. >> woo. kennedy: let's talk about this, i don't know what saddiq khan, the mayor of london was expecting writing a negative op-ed about the president who is sensitive to begin with but on his foreign travels. >> do you think that president responded appropriately. >> first, like trump give him credit, he has the best fights, he always picks the best villain to be up against, sadiq khan is a horrible mayor, he has m

"khan is a disaster — will only get worse!"g: "he is a national disgrace who is destroying "the city of london!" the president's comments came after five attacks in london in less than 2a hours left three men dead and three others injured. with me now is brian klaas, assistant professor in global politics at university college london and a columnist for the washington post. this is something of a feud that rambles on and on. yes, trump and sadiq khan have had a twitter spat for some time now, but he is amplifying katie hopkins, his view is quite an extreme right—wing vigour. her tweet had serious anti—muslim bigotry embedded into it, so it is another of his long—standing feuds led on top of mrs lam ‘s long—standing animosity. —— trump. it almost looks like an obsession with sadik khan. he is mayor of london, an important figure, but you wonder why the president of the us is to the devoting so much time to attacking him it is a usefulfoilfor his base because the most obvious explanation isa because the most obvious explanation i

mr khan said he didn't agree with the visit.th the queen. he'll return for a state banquet there this evening. hello, i'm ben bland with the business news. the uk manufacturing sector contracted in may for the first time sincejuly 2016 as stockpiling ahead of brexit eased, more in a moment. a director of uk energy firm ineos has described a campaign by tv chef hugh fearnley—whittingstall, about plastic on scottish beaches, as "pretty pathetic". tom crotty said the chef had taken a simplistic view on plastic in his bbc documentary, war on plastic. ineos' plant in grangemouth has been accused of adding to plastic waste on local beaches, which the firm denies. more trouble for boeing. the us federal aviation administration says that more than 300 737 max and ng jets may contain improperly manufactured parts that need replacing. all 737 max jets were grounded after two of the aircraft suffered fatal crashes in the space of five months. president trump is here. he certainly has strong views on trade and what he expects from america's

but khan called the u.s. president before this visit one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat whose behavior, quote, flies into the face of the ideals america was founded on. obviously many in london suppor those comments i would assume given the protests that we're seeing. but what do you make of those words from the mayor of london ahead of the president's visit? >> look, there is no question, poppy, that we're navigating uncharted territory here. you would not normally expect the mayor of london to be publicly comparing the president of the united states to 20th century fascists in an op-ed for "the observer" one day before the president arrives. there are many in this country who will argue sadiq khan is out of line, that in his role as mayor, he's not expected to weigh in on these types of issues. more broadly speaking, we've seen other opposition members, notably jeremy corbyn, the leader of the opposition here, he's not even attending the state banquet this evening. that's because

stepped off air force one, the president had taken to twitter to launch a tirade on london mayor sadiq khan. a gun salute at green park and the tower of london to honour the occasion. and along with the president, his family. including his daughter ivanka and her husband jared kushner, both advisers to the president. also this lunchtime... indian helicopter teams searching for a group of missing climbers spot five bodies. a bbc investigation discovers that bp has agreed to pay billions of dollars to a businessman involved in a suspicious energy deal in africa. and in the cricket world cup, england take on pakistan at trent bridge. coming up in the sport later in the hour on bbc news, afterfour years as england netball head coach, tracey neville will stand down after next month's world cup. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. well, he's here. but even before he stepped off air force one he stepped into a row launching a twitter tirade against london mayor sadiq khan, perhaps not the most diplomatic way to start a formal visit to the uk. right now he is at buckingham palace abo

but that's also the nontraditionalism is why sadiq khan is mayor of london. and if anyone, he should really appreciate that, that you do have to push boundaries. and i think it's very important. and i want to echo what steve hilton said earlier on fox news, that there's a great tradition between these two countries. although it may look different and feel different than past administrations, it's still important to figure out what our mutual interests are and move forward. and sometimes when people on the far left wing progressive criticize president trump, they do so in very vague terms. i'm always eager to hear what people's critiques are of capitalism and the system that we have in this country because they're always these very vague platitudes. but if you want to see the ills and what happens, the ultimate end of leftism, look at venezuela. what is the counterexample for capitalism? >> i think it's interesting to look at the difference in power here. you've got an exiting prime minister, theresa may, because she couldn't get brexit done in a way anybody c

that's the mayor of london sadiq khan. tell us what he told you. >> reporter: well, it was interesting. i started out by pressing him on the issue of why the mayor sadiq khan decided to write the editorial where he compared president trump to some of the worst fascist leaders of the 20th century. i wanted to get a sense from him of whether he felt that was appropriate or potentially even counterproductive. let's take a listen. >> even in my country in america, dare i say it, you have people whose views i find abhorrent and views are the complete opposite of our values in this country who see donald trump as their champion. i think it's wrong, for example, to defend white supremacists and neo nazis and those. i think it's wrong to amplify the tweets of racists from this country as donald trump has done. i think it's wrong to separate children from parents on a border. it's wrong to ban people from a country because of their faith. i think it's wrong to roll back the plo pro gresz made on the reproductive rights of women or

commentator: the rock star, rashid khan!t often in kabul, rashid is still a national icon, who is carrying the country's hopes ahead of the world cup. we call this mural the ambassadors of hope. i think every single person who passes by this, you will see it, they say, thank you for painting. but living in afghanistan is not easy. we are always concerned about security issues that we have. standing on a main road in kabul, there's always a chance of explosions, suicide attacks, kidnappings, all of that. security is a serious concern here. deadly attacks happen almost every month. and even for cricket, the source of such national pride, has been a target. in 2018, eight people were killed during attack on a match injalalabad and in 2017, a suicide attack on a cricket ground in kabul killed three people. asghar afghan, the team captain, was part of the team playing that day. but in a blow to the fans, cricketing authorities have decided that for overseas teams, the risks are too great. the team is no longer allowed to play int

khan is a disaster — will only get worse!"another post saying, "he is a national disgrace who is destroying the city of london!" the president's comments came after five attacks in london in less than 2a hours left three men dead and three others injured. dr brian klaas is a political scientist at university college london, and says that these tweets are more than just an online feud between the two politicians. trump and sadiq khan have had a twitter spat back and forth for some time now. i think what's notable about this tweet in particular is trump is amplifying katie hopkins, who is viewed, i think rightly, in this country as quite an extreme far—right figure. and the tweet that he retweeted had serious anti—muslim bigotry embedded into it. it is another one of these long—standing feuds that is layered on top of trump's long—standing animosity, and i would say bigotry, towards muslim communities. trump has made part of his platform anti—muslim bigotry. we forget sometimes that in december of 2015, trump literally said we s

khan also says mr.mp's divisive behavior flies in the face of the ideas which america was founded and said it would be unbritish to roll out the red carpet for him ncht in the meantime, the president kicked off his own controversy by comments he made to a british newspaper on british politics especially that issue of brexit. mr. trump's interview with the sunday times he again praised the foreign secretary boris johnson on his bid to become prime minister. he criticized the outgoing prime minister theresa may and her negotiations on brexit and as a matter of advice, mr. trump insisted he would never pay the $50 billion price tag to leave the european union. listen. well, if i were them, i wouldn't pay $50 billion. that's a big number. i wouldn't pay $50 billion. that's me. i'm only saying this from my stand point, i would not pay that. that's a tremendous number. >> some of these candidates are saying they would walk away if they don't get what they want. others are disagreeing. presumably you think --

going from whether or not president trump and sadiq khan agree on politics to whether or not khan is a stone cold loser who is as short or shorter than new york mayor bill de blasio. this is the kind of thing we are very much used to. i was listening to commentary on british television this morning. even here, i think, people have settled in to the fact that president trump is likely to do this when he comes onto foreign soil. this is not just president trump reacting. he clearly did this with a great deal of intention, intending to set this kind of tone as he comes to london knowing he's facing a lot of blowback, protests and turmoil around the fact that he's going to be here this week. >> it's not just the lack of diplomacy. the norm-busting is also that he's weighing in on british politics. he's saying how supportive he is of nigel farage and forrest johnson. just as they were looking for someone to lead the way through brexit, usually a president of the united states stays away from interfering in internal politics. >> especially when there is a political crisis going on in brita

her message to mayor khan, shut up. but the president takes these things personally and sometimes there is an advantage to that, sometimes there is a disadvantage to that. i think today it would have been better if he hadn't punched in. >> sandra: here is the president in his own words responding to that criticism. here is president trump. >> president trump: i think he has been a not very good mayor from what i understand. he has done a poor job. crime is up. a lot of problems. i don't think he should be criticizing a representative of the united states that can do so much good for the united kingdom. if you look at what he said, he hurts the people of this great country. and i think he should actually focus on his job. it would be a lot better if he did that and he could straighten out some of the problems that he has. >> bill: that was the response. stand by in austin, texas. john, you had a pointed question. we'll get to him in a moment. pointed question about mexico and the recent crackdown. you have a deadline com

president going after the london mayor but doesn't this all in the end elevate mayor khan. is this something that he's enjoying? >> i think certainly it is put him on a bigger world stage. but really there has been a long history of animosity between president trump and mayor khan. there has been a long -- a long really history of disagreement, a long history of argument and certainly i think mr. trump does blame mr. khan for the fact that the trump blimp balloon, the giant balloon in the shape of a baby trump was allowed to fly over london. so really, i think we've seen mr. trump do his best, i think, to be on his best behavior in terms of tweets and what he said. he even suggested he didn't say what he said -- what he supposed to say about meghan markle but the only person he's really going all guns blazing on is mayor khan. he is someone that i feel trump feels he can do because the people in the government and other people might have more power, we don't know at the moment who is going to be prime minister next. so he doesn't know who he can offend and who he can't offe

labour suggested the us president may be singling out mr khan because he's a muslim.e office minister came to the commons to answer an urgent question. these events are a stark reminder that serious violence is a continuing threat. there is no single or simple answer, and the police, local authorities, police and crime commissioners and others are working with us, taking action on a number of fronts, locally, regionally and nationally, in the immediate term and in the longer term. four murders in london over four days, mr speaker. two murders in my constituency in two weeks. i commend tower hamlets police for early arrests in both of those instances. londoners don't want to see us politicians scoring points or playing party politics with this. this cannot go on. president trump's purile intervention is not helpful. we need a more proactive and intelligent response. my constituents are anxious, they're frightened, they see low—level anti—social behaviour escalating to violent crime. it's clear now that properly used and properly monitored stop and search is part of the

i can see lots of faults in what sadiq khan has been doing, but a fully support sadiq khan to say toof this one. if i wasjeremy hunt i would have shown a degree of statesmanlike behaviour and said "i want to be prime minister, they want to elevate the debate away from this playground, i don't comment on things like this, but, by the way, do think the mare's record on knife 01’ do think the mare's record on knife or whatever he was trying to make the comment on, is lacking." that is afairthing to the comment on, is lacking." that is a fair thing to say. but to link it to trump, it is very silly. a fair thing to say. but to link it to trump, it is very sillylj thought it was venal and nakedly popular. it was definitely thinking of the ultimate electorate, the 160,000 tory party members in the party. they are always far more right—wing on things like this, as katie hopkins says, london. they need tory party. if we look, and i know the metro did lay down a table looking at the murder rate in london versus other big cities in the us, we don't like it, but we have 1.8 murders per 100,000 p

president joyce had -- president trump had choice words for sadiq khan. sadiq khan wrote "in years to come, i suspect this state visit will be one that we look back on with profound regret and acknowledge that we were on the wrong side of history." >> londoners find it offensive. >> president trump took a blow torch to khan, tweeting "he is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in london, not me." the president also got into a spat with labour party leader jeremy corbyn who boycotted tonight state dinner. the u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt said jeremy corbyn's actions were out-of-bounds. >> it's inappropriate for anyone to boycott a visit by the president of the united states. he's being hosted by her majesty the queen to mark the great friendship between our two countries. >> with the royal ceremonies wrapped up, president trump will tomorrow meet last time with the outgoing private esther theresa may. in the interview with the sunday times, the president urged whoever takes over to do a new deal brexit by the end of october and sign a free tr

tell what is sadiq khan told you, clarissa. >> reporter: well, you know, we started out by asking the mayor sadiq khan why he decided the night before president trump was arriving for a three-day state visit here in the uk to write this article in "the london oh, " essentially saying that trump was responsible for the rise of the far right in europe and also saying that he warnings you know, akin to -- had some of the troeps of some of the worst fascists of the toth century and sadiq khan was not backing down at all on his decision to pen this editorial. he spoke extensively with us about what he thought was fundamental values that the u.s. and uk share together that he does not see president donald trump as embodying, but first question i asked him was what his reaction was when he looked on twitter and just as president trump was arriving in the uk found this tweet calling sadiq khan the mayor and a stone cold loser and this was his response. take a listen. >> sort of hate you might expect from an 11-year-old. for him to decide how to debay of is not for me response. it's beneath me

mr khan says mr trump's tweets are worthy of an 11—year—old. nwhile protestors ta ke to the streets of london joined by labour leaderjeremy corbyn and, yes, of course, the baby blimp. hello and welcome — i'm katty kay with christian fraser in london. on the second day of donald trump's state visit the pageantry turned to politics and protests — with the president meeting theresa may — a relationship president trump called the "greatest alliance the world has ever known." in just a few days mrs may will be resigning but today there was talk of a substantial trade deal between the two countries — even though the american leader said the nhs should be part of negotiations. in this next hour guests will be gathering for a dinner hosted by the president and first lady at the us ambassador‘s residence. two people who will not be on the guest list are sadiq khan and jeremy corbyn — who mr trump today called negative forces. but much of the focus has been on the alliance between the two countries. as we look to the future in the years and the generatio

in response, president trump called sadiq khan at the time "a stone cold loser".cial relationship there. former conservative leadership contender, esther mcvey has come out in support of borisjohnson, ahead of the first televised leaders debate tonight. mrjohnson, who is the favourite to succeed theresa may as prime minister, will not be taking part in the debate, however. he has chosen instead to wait until tuesday to face his rivals. a surgeon who served time in prison for killing a patient before his conviction was quashed has raised concerns about the way black and ethnic minority doctors are treated by the professional regulator. figures obtained by the bbc suggest the general medical council is more likely to investigate complaints against bame doctors than those who are white. here's amara sophia—elahi. i had lost my salary, i had lost my reputation, i lost myjob. i had lost my salary, i had lost my reputation, i lost my job. david is a respected colorectal surgeon with over 20 years of experience in the nhs and private sector. in 2010 a patient died under

wasim khan, welcome to extra time. thank you.ormer pakistan fast bowler waqar younis said of pakistan versus india that "people dub it a war." but it is certainly not a war," he said, "at the same time it's just sport either. it is somewhere in between." what do you think it is? i think, particularly the players, they all try to play it down because i think there is so much raw emotion running through india versus pakistan, if you take it in the context of our history and what has gone on, but there's so many facets at play and because the health of a nation a lot of the time is judged by how well india are performing or how well pakistan are performing, it does mean a lot more to many people so i think the players have responsibility just to try and keep it at sport as much as possible. i'm going to throw another quote at you. and it's from kapil dev, world cup winning captain for india. "when i played my first series against pakistan," he said it did look like a war. in our time we were expected more to harm the pakistani playe
