he seems to have waded into brexit and now he has got stuck into sadiq khan. be honest, these two figures how loathe each other. this is a political grudge match with a g, which has now been simmering for the best part of three yea rs, simmering for the best part of three years, going back to when the president introduced that travel ban on some muslim countries. sadiq khan was critical of that, questioning whether the president really understood islam. and then the president challenged sadiq khan to an iq test, and then it went to a level further in the wake of the london bridge attack in which the president was pretty critical of sadiq khan's response to that. and yesterday, we had sadiq khan, on the eve of the president because my visit, comparing the president'slanguage and attitude to that of 20th—century dictators, pigeonholing in with other figures like marine le pen and nigel farage as part of a new right emerging in europe. so in that sort of climate, perhaps no surprise. but the timing is extraordinary, because the president has almost checked it out

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 reply, mr de blasio said being compared to sadiq khan was a compliment.asio, has been giving his reaction to president trump's tweets to emily maitlis on newsnight. even for donald trump, this was extreme, to attack a major leader of an allied country. there is no question in my mind this was beyond the pale in so many ways. it's not— you know, we've seen so many things from president trump, but this one is just not normal, it's not acceptable. and sadiq khan to me is an exemplary leader, and he raised a very powerful concern, which obviously sparked trump's i, when he said that donald trump is part of this growing intolerant right wing movement around the country, around the world, i'm sorry, that is harming democracy. it is harming the realities of a tolerant society. and then to have the president of the united states attacked him, in a way that i don't doubt for a moment was not only personal, but was also very much directed at him as a muslim, no, this deserves an apology. donald trump should apologise to sadiq khan, because this goes far beyond the

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

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

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

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

now sadiq khan is the mayor of london. you heard from abby phillip moments ago the bitter spat who has emerged between those two. perhaps as a result of that i think there's a sense increasingly that getting an endorsement from president trump does not necessarily guarantee you political capital in the future here in the uk. at the same time what i would underscore is that, more broadly speaking here in the uk, as it looks down the barrel at a post brexit world, there is a very real sense of urgency in trying to repair any damage that's been done to the special relationship over the course of president trump's presidency and to try to at least agree upon the contours of some kind of a bilateral trade agreement because that trade agreement will really be essential to the uk as it finds itself increasingly potentially adrift in a post brexit world. so lots of political machinations here, jim, and it will be very interesting to see who indeed the president does meet with and what effect that will have on their political capit

i think if you look at his tweet, he wasn't exactly saying that he is going to be inviting sadiq khanment at the white house any time soon. as mr trump flew above the city over which mr khan presides, he knew he had 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 has 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 five g network year. the president wanting to build an international coalition against the company. where we have seen one element of a kind of an effort of the us looking to gain allies is not in confronting china on trade writ large but solely on containing huawei and trying to make sure that the telecoms industry is, in the us‘s view, safe and secure fr

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

i will let sadiq khan explain what he means. he's a lawyer and nose exacted what he means.o, another town truncates as well as the town was born in, new york city. —— another town from pates. yes, as tim says, this is not what the president of the united states should be doing. he should rise above that, but we know trump designed to rise above because he has to come backjust as he if he we re has to come backjust as he if he were selling real estate out of trump tower. that is how he is lowered this office. and we shouldn't actually take this as normal. he doesn't have to respond to anything anybody says about him but he does with his little thumbs. a clever tactic. because we know the images of this are playing well with his supporters at home and getting into these kinds of spats plays well with his supporters at home. his supporters at home with through the trump mythos. they want him actually to do this. he knows that they do. so all this pomp and circumstance and part of his whole sort of campaign fodder that he will be using in the coming months, just before we weave

sadiq khan says this state visit should not be happening.re should be no red carpet treatment because he argues that donald trump's views, his policies, while he says they are not compatible with british values. he says the president deliberately uses an aphobia, racism and others as a tactic and describes him as the figure head of a global far right movement which he says is a growing threat around the world built on using the same tropes as fascists used in the 20th century. now, there's no doubt this is a divisive visit, a controversial visit because sadiq khan is not the only senior politician in this country that believes and argues strongly it shouldn't be happening. the leaders of main opposition party, they made it clear they will deliberately stay away from the state bank wet at donald trump where he'll be the honored guest. >> president trump also made his feelings known about british politics, including the outgoing prime minister and those who he sees as strong contenders to lead the uk through brexit. tell us how those comments

sadiq khan continuing that feud. yes. donald trump was so incredibly rude about london having a muscle mare. and then backtracking and saying it would be welcome in america and the deeply offensive erases. an article that said econ has written in the observer. —— deeply offensive and racist. —— that sadiq khan has written. a lot of people and mps and political leaders and members of the general public and people who will be demonstrating and protesting feel exactly the same but i think it is an invitation from the queen, it is an invitation from the queen, it is a state visit, he is the president whether we like them or not on the united states. it is the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings, etc. i think it is behold and upon us etc. i think it is behold and upon us to offer the courtesy, we have entertained and hosted quite appalling people in the queen had to sit have lunch with them. of course people to protest, i‘m not sure it is right that the maryland that should do this. i am with her on this. the mayor london,

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

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

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

president trump launched the most presidential attack on twitter on the mayor of london, sadiq khan.er that presidential twitter blast, the real cannon fire as donald trump was given a gun salute welcome. as he flew above the city that sadiq khan presides over, it is safe to assume the president won't be rolling out the red carpet at the white house for him any time soon. but now it was time for the pomp to take over from the politics. the president and first lady, melania trump, were greeted at buckingham palace by prince charles and the duchess of cornwall. two men with very differing views on the environment, but today was about making the royal guest feel welcome. in the two and a half years of donald trump's presidency, we've learned his views daily on everything. from a queen who's been on the throne for more than six decades, we know nothing. and whatever she thinks of her unconventional visitor, that's how it will doubtless remain. though a year ago, the palace did let it be known the queen was totally unconcerned when the us president walked ahead of her to inspect the troop

it's hard to escape the conclusion that president trump may be singling out sadiq khan because he's offaith. does the minister accept that, if that were true, many people would find it distasteful? i'm going to decline to respond to the point about president trump for the simple fact that i'm sure — and i know from the urgent question that has already been asked — we all have, at the forefront of our minds today, the four families who have been affected in the most terrible way this weekend. and i hope she will forgive me if i don't dive into the political pool, today of all days. as the minister knows, my party fully supports a public—health approach to stopping violence, which has delivered significant progress in scotland and elsewhere, and she also knows the snp supports and has delivered on protecting police numbers. so we support this government's commitment to a public—health approach, but when will we see an end to the significant cuts, particularly to local authority budgets, that have seen the safe spaces and key services that are crucial to such an approach decimated? yet mo

he was responding to a column written by sadiq khan. the president asked in an interview about comments meghan markle had made, the duchess of sussex, in years past. and he goes after her. i mean, you know, what the president said about them, not at all diplomatic, but they surely, in those remarks, weren't holding back either. does that color -- it does from the outside looking in, but how does that color kind of how this whole state visit is going to play out? >> well, i think it's important for our viewers to remember that this state visit has been talked about now for two years. and for two years, prime minister may has found herself battling whether it's political factions, whether it's ordinary british citizens, but a lot of people in the united kingdom who don't have time for president trump, don't feel he reflects american values or shared values with the united kingdom, and don't think he should be extended the honor of a state visit. this is a common view amid -- with many, many people in the uk. so in a sense, sadiq khan, the

jeremy hunt criticised sadiq khan for what he called his "great discourtesy". out — especially when there are 13 candidates — and that's what another tory hopeful matt hancock did today, here's what he said. the president is well—known to have strong views. what i'd say is that i'm proud that we have the first muslim mayor of a major western capital. and although i disagree with sadiq khan on some things and i don't think that he's really delivered, i think that we in the same way we respect the office of the president, so we should respect the office of the mayor of london. mr hancock is trying to position himself as more liberal and anti—trump than the other contenders, and not just on that one issue. the health secretary set out his policy on brexit earlier. once britain leaves the eu, a trade deal with the united states is something both countries have talked about — in fact donald trump tweeted about it this evening... going down that route would involve some controversial choices of course. here's the us ambassador on the andrew marr programme yesterday.

trump and sadiq khan have had a twitter spat back and forth for some time now. is viewed in this country as quite extreme. 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 should ban all muslims from entering the us. it is an extremely far right position to have, so this foil of sadiq khan is usefulfor him, particularly as he heads into the 2020 election campaign. it is important that we don't lose sight of how unusual and unacceptable it is to mainstream these comments. katie hopkins has described migrants as cockroaches and used dehumanising language. previously, trump retweeted the leader of britain first, an islamophobic hate group here. 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

not a peep from sadiq khan about him. and president xi only has, what, about 1 million muslims in interment camps, he oppresses christians and jails dissidents. the 25th anniversary of tiennamen square is today. but trump is the global threat for this guy? oh, my gosh. trump is not just here to have a fancy dinner as he did tonight at bucking hamm palace. he's here to mark the 5th anniversary of the d-day landing and our enduring alliance. >> there are other close allies coming for the commemoration. a state visit, a state banquet costing millions of pounds. i don't think we should be rolling out the red carpet. some of the things that donald trump has done in the last two or three years, londoners find offensive. >> well, when someone strikes him, trump hits back, even when it may be considered a diplomatic no-no to to do so. as they land in the uk, the the president tweeted, khan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as mayor of london, has been nasty to the president of the united states, by far the most importa

sadiq khan is very clear that he not doing anything. if it's a health approach, you need to get community involved. it's a war on the street. it's not recognised as a war but lights have been lost and a lot of lives have been lost. if it isa lot of lives have been lost. if it is a postcode war, how do you stop a war? they are now raising funds to pay for the teenager's funeral. anotherfamily broken pay for the teenager's funeral. another family broken by a pay for the teenager's funeral. anotherfamily broken by a knife. our top story this evening: the inquest into the london bridge attacks hears how chaos and confusion hampered efforts to help the victims. and still to come — andy murray talks to the bbc about his life after hip surgery as he makes his tennis comeback this week. coming up on sportsday on bbc news, the latest on chelsea's search for a new manager, with the club yet to approach derby about the possibility of a stamford bridge return for frank lampard. emergency workers in lincolnshire say there may be another breach in th

sadiq khan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as mayor of london has been foolishly nasty toing president of the united states, by far the most important ally of the united kingdom. he is a stone cold laser who should focus on crime in london, not me. after that presidential twitter blast the real cannon fire as donald trump was given a cannon fire as donald trump was givena gun cannon fire as donald trump was given a gun salute welcome. as the president flew above the city that sadiq khan presides over its safe to assume the us president will not be rolling out the red carpet anytime soon the white house. but now it was time for the pomp to take over from the politics. the president and first lady were greeted at buckingham palace by prince charles and the duchess of cornwall. two men with very differing views on the environment but today was about making the royal guest feel welcome. in the two and a half years of his presidency we have learnt his views daily on everything, from the queen has been on the throne for more than six decades we know nothing. and whatever she thi

nic, we shouldn't be surprised to hear those words from sadiq khan.e's never been a fan of president trump. but that article he wrote over the weekend was quite a blistering attack on the president, was it not? >> and the president's dismissed it by calling him a mini version of the new york mayor bill de blasio, who is a democratic candidate, by the way, in the upcoming u.s. presidential elections. so really president trump has dealt with that and dissed sadiq khan. they've had run-ins before over terror attacks in london and the way the president's handled that. it's not a surprise to anyone and i don't think it comes as a surprise to anyone either that president trump is sort of weighing in on who should be the next prime minister, criticizing theresa may for the way she's handled the brexit negotiations with the european union. remember, he did -- >> yeah. >> -- he did all this last year and it came out in the papers just before he landed. >> but how does that affect theresa may. she's in a really awkward position, isn't she? because she leaves on

sadiq khan joins about the mayor of london sadiq khan. sadiq khanjoins me now.or box are. have you had the opportunities to see the images of the red carpet being rolled out on the steps of downing street? i know that although you don't object to being here, you object to it being a state visit.” think it is really important that we have good relations with the us and that includes the president. they are our closest ally and we have a special relationship in my objection is for him to receive a state visit, a state banquet, and all that it entails. we have to be careful about giving the impression that we condone some of the things that he has said and done over the last few yea rs, has said and done over the last few years, from separating children from their parents and mexican border to using racist derogatory and offensive language, to walking away from the paris climate change agreement, to rolling back the progress made on lgbt plus rights, are rolling back reproductive rights of women. i am also worried about the fact that the far right movement around t

. >> president trump getting into a spat with london mayor sadiq khan after khan put out an op-ed callinghe president a global threat. mr. trump compared him to the mayor of new york. >> i don't think much of him. i think that he's the twin of de blasio, except shorter. >> before landing, president trump sent out a pair of tweets attacking khan, insulting his height among other things. let's go live to london and bring in cnn's clarissa ward. the timing interesting for president trump, amid an ongoing difficulty in the brexit negotiations and potentially a new prime minister coming soon. >> that's right, and i think that's exactly why here in the uk everyone is essentially girding themselves to see what will transpire during this three-day visit, what tweets will be tweeted by the president, whose feathers will be ruffled. as you mentioned, we have already seen some of that transpiring. we heard the tweet sent by the president just as he landed here in the uk, calling the london mayor, sadiq khan, a stone cold loser. he has also weighed in, as you mentioned, on the brexit debate, criticiz

this was a response to the tweet saying sadiq khan was a loser.crats are considering whether or not to move forward with impeachment proceedings. and much of the political talk is expected today so the political talk is expected today so all eyes will be on the agenda coming out of the state visit with theresa may. tom, thank you very much. joining me now isjonathan stock, former special advisor — he was was a key aide on the pm's events and visits team. you were actually involved in the truck visit last year. that was the dry run, i guess! —— the trumpet visit. it feels like things have come full circle because the invitation was extended only six months into theresa may's premiership. i think there is some real urgency to house the president sooner than the state visit could potentially be accommodated so they we re very potentially be accommodated so they were very keen on facilitating this visit when they could. as you say, circumstance has determined the timing in terms of the prime minister's departure and that is notable in terms of how the

trump arrives to a city whose mayor has roundly denounced him, sadiq khan. there are also those who support him and his views on brexit like nigel farage and boris johnson who mr. trump says would be a good replacement for prime minister. >> reporter: yeah, president trump has sort of reprised comments that he made when he came here last year, saying that boris johnson would be a good prime minister and that theresa may wasn't doing a good job of handling the brexit negotiations with the european union, that she should have been tougher. he's saying all of that again this time. last time he sort of made up with theresa may the following day after the newspaper comments appeared in print. when he meets her here tuesday, i think we can probably expect the same thing. he seems to have been a little bit kind tore thereer to theres. calling the mayor sadiq khan like mayor de blasio. no friend of president trump. he will not expect to meet, either, the leader of the party that sadiq khan is a member of, the labor party, the own suspicion party, jeremy corbyn will

much worse than anything sadiq khan is doing one of these things is not like the other.a fight with the muslim mayor not the republican guy who is used to be. >> nothing there you go again paul trying to infies race when it has i'll tell you the answer the answer is because boris johnson may well be prime minister there are strategic reasons to not necessarily insut boris johnson but what sadiq somebody irrelevant to the united states somebody most americans have frankly never heard of when he comes after donald trump if donald trump counterpunches back and nobody counterpurgesis he is the floi may weather of politics. >> in a brand for sure but you say you wouldn't want to over the the prime minister right because -- what about they're may trump has said plenty of unpleasant things about her. today he said she did a gootd job negotiating but back in march he slammed her here he is and then in march. >> she is probably a better negotiator than i am. i'm surprised at how badly it's all gone from the standpoint of a negotiation. but i gave the prime minister my ideas on ho

oftentimes we see the president lean in and he did so with sadiq khan. he was asked, let me set the scene for the viewers who have not seen it. he was asked about jeremy corbin the opposition leader and to answer the question about sadiq khan and a verbal reading of his latest tweet storm, chris. here it is. >> well, i think he's been not a very good mayor from what i understand. he's done a poor job. crime is up. a lot of problems and i don't think he should be criticizing a representative of the united states that can do so much good for the united kingdom. we talked about it before. he should be positive, not negative. he's a negative force, not a positive force. >> and with that, chris, we are getting pulled out of the room here. i'll toss it back to you to new york and thanks for holding it down during the show today. >> my pleasure. thank you for holding on there before you get asked to leave. in the meantime, we talked about the protests. we've got that infamous trump baby blimp flying again over the streets of london and thousands of protesters m

what does sadiq khan say about that? >> well, you know, it's interesting because we did challenge him on this issue of whether it was appropriate for mayor khan to write that editorial piece for the observer in which he talked about trump, you know, essentially playing from the same song sheet as some of the worst fascists of the 20th century. and he pushed back. and he said listen, i believe this very strongly. i see the rise of the far right across europe. he called president trump the poster boy for those far-right leaders across europe. and he feels very concerned about certain trends that he sees globally happening geopolitically. we also asked him, kate, for his reaction when he first read that tweet of the president calling him a stone cold loser, as he lands in london at the beginning of a three-day state visit, an enormous honor. take a listen to what he had to say. >> you know, this is what you would expect from an 11-year-old, but for him to decide how he behaves. not for me to respond in a like manner. i thin

along them london mayor sadiq khan, he wrote an op-ed slamming the president, comparing him to world war ii dictators and says that donald trump is one the most egregious examples of a growing global threat in the work. baby, and the values that have defined our liberal democratic societies for more than sense of -- 70 years, president punching right back on twitter, writing, sadiq khan, who has done a terrible job as mayor of long has been foolishly nasty on the visits president of the u.s., by far the most important ally of the united kingdom, she a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in london not me, country minds me of our income -- incompetent mayor of network in say, de blasio. i look forward to being a great friend of the united kingdom. 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 a
