health service. yeah and they're there inexplicably linked the national health service in this country for people who don't know when since its inception after the 2nd world war has always been a state funded publicly owned thing which which the british. population are intensely proud of the idea that you don't have to pay for health care in this country and it comes out of general taxation is absolutely suits of the british way of life and every single governments of any stripe has to come in and explain how they're going to continue to fund the health service through public funds and for the americans and this was flags in advance of trump's visit by the american ambassador in an interview he gave he gave on sunday the idea that after brics it's the u.k. and u.s. might reach some sort of bespoke trade deal for the american side the idea that american pharmaceutical companies might be able to buy into the health service in a partly privatized way it is very significant for the american side because it's a very very big market in this country but there is no british politician even those who absolute

the national health service regarded very much as a national treasure of the united kingdom, all healthe deal woody johnson the u.s. ambassador to the uk suggested before this trip that actually all procurement into the system would be on the table for any trade deal. that caused huge amounts of concern in government and in national circles, frankly. but president trump clarified on that saying, actually, it won't be on the table. so that's a huge relief to everyone here in the uk. he's about to enter here. we'll see his motorcade come here into the complex. then he'll have a photo with 15 other heads of state. all the countries involved in d-day all those decades ago. but it set off from here, much of the invasion. a big moment for him. a big moment for those other countries as well. then of course he'll give a speech. no indication yet on what words will come from that. the queen will be here. prince charles will be here. he had a big meeting with prince charles just yesterday and the day before, actually, where they discussed climate change. prince charles very much of the view that

trying to bypass the national health service which is publicly funded these sorts of things are so deeplycontroversial that even politicians who support the prime minister already backpedaling very fast and saying we can't possibly involve the national health service in any future trade deal so everywhere there are sticking points in terms of this business and we'll be following this visit with you of course know and live for us in london thank you returning now to our main story this hour on al jazeera and the crackdown in sudan on protests as let's just remind you of how we got to this point today the mass protests in sudan began in december over living costs and then they forced a military jury dead today poll is president. i share on april 12th has been in power for nearly 30 years a transitional council was set up but protest leaders weren't satisfied sitting outside army headquarters continued they held talks with the military council but failed to reach any agreement now 6 people were killed in the middle of may when violence broke out near the protest site demonstrators accuse the

national health service, he said later, should be part of future trade talks.nt trump: look, i think everything with the trade deal is on the table. when you're dealing with trade, everything is on the table. glamour ofesides the the state visit, the lavish attention of royalty, rate britain, once a strategic partner, is to this president a deal waiting to be done. al jazeera, london. anchor: domestically in the u.k., there is major concern about trump's comments about the national health service being up for negotiation in any future trade deal. just an hour later, he seemed to roll his comments. president trump: somebody asked me a question today, and i said, "everything is up for negotiation," because everything is, but that is something i would not consider trade. that is not trade. severalearlier, thousand antitrust protesters marched against his visit. against --ssed it dismissed it, saying he saw cheering crowds. reporter: it was a carnival of resistance, elements of performance as well as protest. as characterssed from the "handmade's tale." some were s

street, he said a "phenomenal" post brexit trade deal was possible, which might include, the national health service. i think everything with a trade deal is on the table. when you are dealing in trade, everything is on the table. the nhs or anything else, a lot more than that. the point about making trade deals is that both sides negotiate and come to an agreement about what should or should not be in that trade deal. as thousands demonstrated against the president, mr trump revealed he'd refused to meetjeremy corbyn. but the labour leader, addressing the crowds, said he's willing to talk to anyone. i want to be able to have that dialogue, to bring about the better and more peaceful world that we all want to live in. president trump described mr corbyn as a "negative force." we'll have the latest. the other main headlines this evening. a court hears how investigators were not told that one of the london bridge attackers had been reported to an anti—terror hotline. six mps abandon the new party change uk. how they predicted the tides for d—day. in sport, all smiles asjoe konta goes into the quarterf

that has not gone down well here because the national health service is a much loved, sacred cow in the idea of american private companies getting involved with and trading inside the national health services. not something that goes down well here. i just got the strong feeling it was really all about yesterday. it was about the pomp and the palace. not today and the politics and be protest. >> i think it was a lot about the state dinner. that's what the family seemed to have been instagraming out. lots of pictures of the way they were received last night with all that entailed. peter alexander, let me play what the president did say. this is the president who doesn't go a day without talking about mueller and who has ordered his attorney general to take over declassifying intelligence and said before he left that he was going to raise with teresa may the whole question of what mi-6 might have done to lead into the mueller investigation. let's play this first. i want to you about it. >> we have an incredible intelligence relationship and we will be able to work out any differences. i t

then that the source of bricks at the donald trump and visit with a sell off part of the national health service is never going to happen in a 1000000000 years i thank you nor and and i honestly outside 10 downing street for as we cross over to colbert and now in london also for is how donald trump said at a protest against same wear fake news that there were no protests is that the case . well he said both certainly were protesters i would say that they weren't as many protesters here in central london as there were 28 teen when an estimated 250000 people turned out to protest against the american president. cool to put an estimate on this year's figures but i think we're talking probably $1520.00 at the tops thousands they've moved on from here whites whole side downing street now down towards palm and square. the rain i think will probably lead them to despair in the near future but the speeches that were heard here in whitehall in the last hour well from people such as the opposition leader jeremy corbett who criticized the american presence in the following terms he said he would never acce

when a reporter asked if the national health service would be part of the talks, this was his responseonservatives saying the same thing. and here‘s the uk health secretary matt hancock — who also wants to replace theresa may. there is absolutely no way that the nhs will be on the table for trade talks with the united states, or with anywhere else for that matter — full stop. and if i‘m prime minister, the nhs will never be for sale. not on my watch. the nhs is one of the biggest issues in british politics. famously this pledge by brexiteers promised more money for the nhs. although we should note one of the leaders of the brexit campaign, boris johnson, will have to appear in court over this — he‘s being prosecuted by someone who claims it was a misleading promise. beyond that, it‘s deeply engrained in british culture. the nhs constitution reads but free healthcare for all is expensive. this is the proportion of public spending that went towards the nhs 60 years ago — around 10%. now it‘s close to a third. and as spending has increased, so has the role of private companies. they recei

for focuses here in the states who are unfamiliar, explain what the national health service is and why it's so important to people in the uk generally? >> reporter: the national health service is an institution that existed for decades. people pay for it through a form of tax and then they get free healthcare. it's often criticized for many, many reasons. anyone from the outside who attacks it does not get listened to with very complimentary responses. look, it's a national institution, and for any american president he should know not to go there. >> ambassador hill, the president's foreign policy is so often calculated to advance his domestic political goals. what does he get in being so outspoken in favor of pro brexit conservative candidates to secede theresa may? >> i think the president has been very clear, he considers the european union a major competit competitor. he considers europe a competitor. anything he can do to weaken the european union is in his interest. i think there was the idea he would entice the brits with a u.s. trade deal that would be bigger, better, i think

even the national health service he said later should be part of future trade talks look i think everything with a trade deal is on the table when you when you're dealing in trade everything's on the table so anything else besides the hospitality of the queen great britain once a valued ally and strategic partner is to this president it seems a deal waiting to be done so then the president has been giving some. to be the next prime minister. oh yes more than thought he's thrown himself vigorously at the task of trying to find out and get to know the next prime minister boris johnson of course he's indorsed a man he's called a good friend remember a year ago when he was here he committed a huge political gaffe by endorsing boris johnson then only days after he resigned from to reserve may's cabinet michael gove another top contender donald trump says he doesn't know him very well michael gove remember conducted the 1st u.k. interview with the president on behalf of the times newspaper in the presence of the times owner rupert murdoch a hugely influential media mogul in the politics of this c

may at downing street, he said a "phenomenal" post brexit trade deal and might include the national health service. i think everything with the trade deal is on the table. when you're dealing in trade, everything's on the table. so nhs or anything else, or a lot more than that. the point about making trade deals is, of course, that both sides negotiate and come to an agreement about what should or should not be in that trade deal. as thousands demonstrated against the president, mr trump revealed he'd refused to meetjeremy corbyn. but the labour leader, addressing the crowds, said he's willing to talk to anyone. i want to be able to have that dialogue, to bring about the better and more peaceful world that we all want to live in! and this evening, before a formal dinner with the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall, the president held talks with leading brexiteers. we'll be assessing mr trump's comments on the post brexit relationship between america and the uk. also tonight... just months after its creation, six mps abandon the political party change uk. a last minute deal prevents the col

off the backs of because he directly said that he wants the national health service to be brought in so that's that's absolutely dynamite because there is no politician in this country who could count since a sell off of paul to national health service to american pharmaceutical companies and i think that in particular is going to get seized on by opponents of brecht's states as a way of saying look if this is the sort of trade deal that was once a free trade deal with united states that sells off the health service then actually is he worth bothering with it at all and i thank you for that in london let's get the view now from washington d.c. and here's our white house correspondent kimberly hockett i can believe this was day 2 of a 3 day state visit to the u.k. how is this all being seen in washington d.c. is the president being seen as being successful. for the most part i mean this is still a very divided country and there still are the you know done in terms of polarizing leader you either like him or you don't like him here in the united states but i think there is some relief t

that a lot of funding was going to come back from the european union and be invested in the national health serviceit was revealed that that was not the case. you are seeing increasing opposition to brexit, in part because people are seeing how complicated political divorce is and because people are getting a better sense of what the actual political cost of brexit will be. there was nearly half of the country that supports brexit and is frustrated by the fact that it is three years since the referendum, and it still has not happened. host: from alabama, republican line, bill. i would like to ask your guest since she was part of the obama administration, for the obama failures that are so vast notraq, syria, ukraine, working to stop the hacking on our elections, the catastrophic invasion of europe from africa, where those intentional acts, or was that incompetence on part of the people in that administration? as one who served in the administration and served president obama, i think all of us made the best political decisions that we could at the time. i think the president was committed to keepin

public spending and no mention of the truly terrible levels of mental health care in the national health service of things that would interest the whole country, notjust london, perhaps these things were not raised because we were restricted to those questions from people, i don't know how they were chosen, it's since been shown that at least two of them we re been shown that at least two of them were on the dodgy side. neville, what did you think of the choice of questions that were selected and put to the candidates? as philip has said, not wide—ranging enough and also i felt that emily was more concentrating on the candidates' past misdemeanours, so—called misdemeanours, than what they are going to propose for the country in the future. philip, you mentioned two of the questions. i want to put a statement to you from the bbc, it said... do you accept that the bbc went through a vetting process and at the time the members of the public managed to avoid it and what more could bbc have done?” managed to avoid it and what more could bbc have done? i don't know how they go about fighting but when

think in the minds of many people in britain they can't conceive of what even more than the national health service being on the table for trade talks would mean. it is -- it's a key part of british people's lives that they have a free healthcare service and they wouldn't want to have one similar to the united states that they will pay for. so i think, you know, that what we will see here is the labour party try to tarnish the conservatives as being close to president trump, president trump trying to break up things like the health service. there may be a small political backlash through that, labour will exploit it. >> question to you, daniel dale, because washington bureau chief for the toronto star, you have run something of a running fact checking service on the president through these last months and couple of years. the president there, president of the united states, to stand there on international television claimed that protests are fake news when people watching this program or anywhere can see with their own eyes that they are not. we showed the pictures before, we will show them again,

in a news conference with prime minister may the president suggested that the uk's national health service post explains why the brits are protective over this national institution. interesting to get a foreign angle in that story. with xi jinping set to visit russia later today to meet with putin. the moscow times reports that crimea has the fastest growing economy in russia mainly due to vast amount of investment in the region. the la times reports that tesla has made a vast sum of money by selling their so—called "right to pollute" credits to other car makers. the daily telegraph says that in a world—first, france will ban supermarkets and producers from destroying clothes and electronics. instead they have to give them away. and in the new york times is a report that shows how the progressive paternity leave allowances in sweden are having a positive impact on the mental health of new mothers. david buikl is back as promised. let's get going. i thought this was really interesting. to look at what the us media is saying about president trump's visit to the uk, and the washington post in

the president saying that the national health service has to be on the table.s is on the table for negotiations in a future trade arrangement?” table for negotiations in a future trade arrangement? i suspect he means he would like a situation here more like the us arrangements which is the price of pharmaceutical products is a free—market negotiation it's making a deal. here we actually have a situation where the nhs because it covers the entire country it can be a single purchaser. it is quite a strong negotiating... which is why britons pay less for their drugs and americans do. exactly. the conservatives and labour have walked away from private enterprises within the nhs after really a failed experiment. would they want that sort of american involvement within the nhs? they haven't walked away from it completely. there is still quite a bit of delivery of things like hip replacements and things that are standard products by the private sector and i believe there area private sector and i believe there are a couple of us companies who are in that business. so

have the question of people who are smokers who want to quit smoking and there are not the national health service for example and u.k. and the center for disease control in atlanta they both say that actually cigarettes can help you do that so there are health benefits for people who are already addicted to nicotine but the problem is when you get children addicted or young people addicted at an early stage and many of these products have massive doses of nicotine in one single jew product for example there's the equivalent in nicotine of an entire pack of cigarettes so the question of how much that affects development and what that can possibly do to the development of that young person is still very much up in the air in the f.d.a. hasn't yet regulated it so it's a it's a big issue in san francisco is pushing to the f.d.a. to try to make it to come to a decision well regulations good thing i mean i confess i'm a lifelong smoke i've recently switched to one of those easy grits and they've helped me is nearly totally stay away from cigarettes which are clearly very harmful and common sense says t

this is your message was that we often had budget stopping about the nhs, the national health service new zealand for this. it's fantastic and aggressive funds but it's just over £1 billion. the war hero, the 89—year—old who won britain's got talent. an absolute gem, i saw the performance. you can understand by the public voted for him. yes, you can understand. he is wonderful. i didn't watch it myself but ijust saw the clip and he's adorable. he is great. i think the big line here is great. i think the big line here is that he serve the queen of his lap and a guest to perform in front of her. how wonderful. what a wonderful way to end a career. thank you for your travels and thank you for your comments as well, everyone's retirement plans quite interesting. we'll see you hello. sunday was a real mixed bag of weather right across the british isles. for some, it was rain and puddles. elsewhere, particularly at weybourne in norfolk, 28.8 celsius was recorded, making it the hottest day of the year so far, and as ever, our weather watchers were right on the spot. now, that weather front e

multinationals in the drugs or insurance world can encroach and start to carve up the national health servicesreat that could really happen? >> donald trump wrote back on it but he said that the national health service would be part of the negotiations, look, there are many people who criticize the national health service here in the uk, but everybody at the same time is extremely proud of it. one of the achievements is drug prices. if there was a negotiation with u.s. pharmaceuticals that the expectation and the demand would be that prices would have to go up. that is a simplistic way to talk about it, but it illustrated that negotiations with the u.s. after a brexit will not be as simple as president trump and other probrexit politicians in the u.k. like to suggest. i mean that isn't to say that you -- the politics is so different and so difficult to predict these days, i'm not con vicinitied that if it happened quickly there would not be a real push on both sides to get negotiations done. there are lots of hurdles, and tryst tin d-- some would say there are parties that are in the middle an

services. now and northern ireland and scotland, and in parts of island and wales, there going to be tremendous resistance to this. across party lines, people value the national health s service. in the idea it can be broken up and sold off piece mill to u.s. ors itors and privatiz think worries many people. and even tory politicians who have gone out of their way to be welcoming and frankly had tontic to trump have pull back and say, regardless of what he says, the nhs is not up for sale. brexit does pose a very great danger, both to the public services of the united kingdom and to the existence of the united kingdom. we know there is talk off independence reference once again in scotland. scotland is overwhelmingly remaining and there's no reason they should be part of the thatsh nationalist project brexit ultimimately is. trump's visit has maybes divisions very stark once again. amy: president trump has expressed his support for nigel farage as well as boris johnson. he also criticized labour leader jeremy corbyn recalled a negative force. he said if he were to become prime minister, corba may not share intelligence with him. your resesponse, professor? >> this i

money into public services and only committed the biggest ever cash boost in history for the national health service and i can assure my right honorable friend that in my time as prime minister we will not make any brexit commitments but we do want to ensure we see our public services supported as they should be to provide services that we believe the people of this country deserve. >> thank you, mister speaker. over the last nine years the prime minister -- over immigration, the home secretary and as prime minister. by her own metric she has failed to reduce immigration, and her unjust, discriminatory, and racist policies have heard thousands of people. in the last week in office can she call her record on immigration anything other than a failure? >> i say to the honorable gentlemen that immigration has been good for this country but what people want to know is the government can make decisions about who should come to the country, there is control on the numbers of people coming to the country and the government takes action against those who are here illegally. that is the purpose of the policy

but even more contentious is the question of the nhs, the uk's national health service.ssador to britain has said the "entire economy" would be included in transatlantic negotiations, which could include allowing american firms to bid for nhs contracts. with me now is david collins, professor of international economic law, at london university. good morning, david. good morning. from the point of view of the us president, the result are paid for but it does depend on the uk's relationship with teu in the future. that is how it works. the uk can't signa that is how it works. the uk can't sign a trade agreement with anybody that stays within the single market. it's going to be difficult for the uk to sign free trade agreements that include services. he is absolutely right, so we have to wait to see what happens with brexit before the us can proceed with comprehensive negotiations on these issues. if i quote comprehensive negotiations on these issues. ifi quote president from now, this is what he put out on twitter before he left the us. he said "a big trade deal as possibl

he added that he expected the national health service would be a part of that deal, a move which couldrjeremy corbyn while he was here. let's listen to what he had to say about that. (tx let's listen to what he had to say about that. i don't knowjeremy corbyn, never met him. never spoke to him. he wanted to meet today or tomorrow, and i decided that i would not do that. i think that he is, from where i come from, somewhat of a negative force. i think that the people should look to do things correctly as opposed to criticise. i really don't like critics as much as i like and respect people that get things done. so i've decided not to meet. as far as the protests, i have to tell you, because i commented on it yesterday, we left the prime minister, the queen, the royalfamily, there were thousands of people on the streets cheering. and even coming over today, there were thousands of people cheering. and then i heard that there were protests, i said, "where are the protests? i don't see any protests." i did see a small protest when i came, very small. so a lot of it is fake news, i hate to

there was major concern about trump's comments about the nation's public health service being up for negotiation in any future trade deal just hours later he appears to have rode back on his comments i don't see had been on the table somebody asked me a question today and i say everything's up for negotiation because everything is but i don't see that being that something that i would not consider part of trade that's not trade. several 1000 anti trump demonstrations marched through central london in protest against the u.s. president's visit the trump dismissed the demonstrations as a small protest and claimed he'd seen cheering crowds paul brennan was there i found out. it was billed as a carnival of resistance and the demonstrations certainly included elements of performance as well as protest costumes and fancy dress one group dressed as characters from the hung made tale some placards were simple others subtle many simply too profane to show on television or even trump impersonators we have reached a deal to kinda show you. the 6 meter tall trump baby blimp was back after 1st ap

-uk trade deal, everything would be on the table, including their cherished national health service. >> that is some that struck fear into the hearts of britains of all background, because they love their national service and all and the american ambassadors said that would happen, president trump is certainly willing to pursue it and that points out the vulnerability britain has right now. as they leave the european union, they need the united states and president trump more than ever. but they may regret that. >> okay. terry, i just want to bring in mary bruce as well, there are some domestic politics that came in as well, you saw the president digging in on that issue of tariffs with bhex colorado he says it's more likely than not those will be imposed despite the meeting, as you reported this morning, republicans in congress quite upset about that. >> george, republicans are simply not happy with the president's surprise announcement about this plan to impose tariffs on mexico. they are now considering taking a, to block the president. we heard the president saying any attempt to

think we're going to have a great and comprehensive trade deal. [ inaudible ] >> he said national health service. should the national health service be on the table ? >> i think everything with the trade deal is on the table. so nhs or anything else. a lot more than that. but everything will be on the table, absolutely. okay? >> but the point about making trade deals is, of course, that both sides negotiate and come to an agreement about what should or should not fwh that trade deal for the future. and with regards to your second question, francis, nice try, but, no. i'm a woman of my word. mr. president, would you like to? >> john? please. >> mr. president, thank you. mr. president, domestically, in recent days, mexico has stepped up apprehensions and deportations of central american migrants. >> that's good. >> this could possibly be in response to your threat of tariffs. >> not possibly be. >> has mexico done enough to avoid tariffs, which will be imposed in some six days from now? >> no, we haven't started yet. >> but the threat is out there. >> the threat is out there, but we haven't really

we are currently spending about 50% of our entire budget going into the national health service, whicheed to take money from the national illness service and put it into a national wellbeing service to keep people well in the first place. those sorts of decisions are not that popular. so there's a need for, you know, a big popular discussion about how we start thinking, planning, and doing things for the future. —— a big population level discussion. something at the local and city level, but we need something at a global level, surely, as well, for climate and energy, just like we have a world health organization. otherwise it will be only these huge commercial conglomerates which have a global reach. we have got to have some international, publicly supported organisations to compete with them and control them. i completely agree with that, and i also agree with my 10—year—old daughter, who said to me the other day, she said: "i'm not given a vote in the european elections." she said, "so, why don't i ask granny if she will vote for who i want? and let's just swap votes?" and i thought

the promise of 350 million pounds going to the eu, much of that coming back to pay for the national health servicesat was misading and it influenced the vote. some people said they voted because they thought the u.k. would get money back. the key for jeremy hunt is to raise questions, do you trust boris johnson? jane: do you think the contest will change now that the conservative rank and file get their rn to weigh in? frank: i think it is different. i am surprised to some degree that mr. johnson did as well as he did among the members of parliament. many members in the conservative party don't like him or trust him but i think some of the support came from the facthat they think he can win the next general eleion. the expectation is, there will be a general election sooner than later because brexit is not resolved. when it goeso the hustings, it favors mr. johnson, just as president trump in a republican party does well. the file -- the folks out on the hustings, the members are more conservative them the party itself in parliament. jane: if you were a betting man reuld you say both of them going

there was some false claims made that a lot of money could be returned and reinvested in the national health service. one thing people didn't understand or appreciate is that the uk was getting a lot of money back from the european union, particularly in more rural, and deprived areas of the uk to develop their local infrastructure. there was also a lot of peace funding in northern ireland. a second driver as you also identified was this free movement of people one of the provisions of the european union single market is eu citizens are able to live and work in any member state they want. some people within the uk were unhappy that citizens of other eu countries were coming to live and work in their country. one of the examples that are often cited is the polish plumber, the idea that you had people from central and eastern europe who were coming to live and work in the uk. the final factor was a much broader sovereignty argument, the idea that the uk did not necessarily want to be part of a collective decision making process in the european union but wanted the right to make their own economic and

i think people treasure their national health service and treasure our inclusive relationships acrossthink it is anything other than catastrophe coming for millions of people across the nation and for them to try and present it as otherwise is a com plete present it as otherwise is a complete and utter falsehood and over the weeks and months as we approach october that will be continuously exposed and companies like ford who are closing bridgend, yes, of course it's a difficult scene for the automotive industry as it migrates towards electric vehicles, but my goodness, we should be in the vanguard of the movement, but what is happening is companies are drawing in and relocating elsewhere because of the uncertainty and the downside that brexit brings to us. that is the inevitable reality, and when those industries, those sectors will face such considerable barriers to trade then we are inflicting such devastating rules upon ourselves that it beggars belief that we would want to volunteer and embrace such an environment. it's not too late for us environment. it's not too late for us to

but even more contentious is the question of the nhs, the uk's national health service. to britain has said the "entire economy" would be included in transatlantic negotiations, which could include allowing american firms to bid for nhs contracts. ann francke, the chief executive of the chartered management institute. she the chartered management institute. joins us now. what she joins us now. we had the list of what the us would like from the uk. what do you think the two countries could get from each other? of course, there is a lot of warm words but if you look at the facts, we just saw the facts of the trading relationship, the reality is the uk trading relationship with the eu is three times that of the us. all of the reports suggest losing a common regulatory framework with the eu would be ten times more damaging to the uk economy than any blip from a boost to us uk trade. we are seeing president trump meeting business leaders today. some pretty important ones. what is going to be discussed, given the fact we still had so much uncertainty? i think business leaders

political uproar by suggesting "everything is on the table" for negotiation, including britain's national health service later interview he's since backtracked on that. there were more protests on the second day of his state visit, although the president claimed they didn't happen, calling reports about them "fa ke news.
