as they have expanded their operations in london, creating jobs in london. it is important we distinguish the views of the protests against trump what he stands for and america and americans. i love america and americans. i love america and americans and i have spoken to many londoners, some of them who call themselves londoners who are americans, who will be joining themselves londoners who are americans, who will bejoining in the protest today. one of the things americans love about the city is the rates we have here, the right to protest a nd rates we have here, the right to protest and have free speech, the right to freedom of assembly and the idea we would cut those rights because it may cause offence to president trump or anybody else americans would find objectionable because their own constitution have enshrined in it the freedom of speech and the freedom to protest and freedom to assemble. reading the speeches from franklin to jefferson, the founding fathers, they talk about the freedom of free speech and freedom to protest. our own constitution has

this is one of the most secure neighborhoods in all of london. one of the hotel's security cameras recorded litvinenko arriving in the lobby at 3:59 p.m. he was there to meet andrei lugovoy, another former fsb agent, seen here wearing a black leather jacket. lugovoy had his own security consulting firm. he and litvinenko had been talking about doing some business together in london. the two had met several times over the past year. this time lugovoy brought along a buddy, a man named dimitry kovtun. he's the one in the black turtleneck. it was a quick meeting. litvinenko drank just half a cup of tea, then left. around 5:00 p.m., he caught a ride home. that night, he fell ill. and three weeks later, he was dead. so who slipped litvinenko poison that day, putting his murder into motion? litvinenko told scotland yard detectives before he died he didn't know when or who had poisoned him. but he had no doubt that one or more of the men he met that day, the two russians or the italian, was his killer. naturally, we wanted to talk to all three. we track

david, i know that you are in london. this is not where the president will be heading because there is a very active decision to keep him out of london and keep him in the countryside of the u.k.. talk us through what is going on here in terms of the tension etween theresa may and does -- president trump, especially as it relates to brexit. she has just unveiled this white paper, which is very different than the progressives had envisioned for the country. it is something the president had made reference to it the nato press conference. david: that is right. a big day for theresa may, with this very detailed brexit plan and the white paper. they published that, 90 eight pages long, and we have been pouring through the details all day. and then, donald trump throws a wrench into the process by making comments on it as he is leaving the nato summit, saying it looks like it is not the brexit the british people voted for. what he means by that is it is a softer version of brexit, meaning they will stay bound to the european u

many thousands of protesters descending in central london and other cities here in the u.k. but here we can see that trump's approach to windsor castle being carefully orchestrated and choreographed in order to avoid many of those protests and you can see president trump just passing by. as he arrives to meet the queen. at a very busy day today he was with the prime minister to reason may at checkers retreat a rather awkward joint press conference a little bit earlier on in which president trump was backtracking all downplaying comments he'd made to britain's sun newspaper criticizing a treasonous breaks it strategy but then striking a very different tone with the prime minister earlier on in here we can see president trump and his wife melania thanking the queen. live live live . live. live live. live . so here we see president donald trump and his wife melania meeting the british want to for the first time they argue to have tea with the queen that meeting is likely to last about thirty minutes we know this is something that president trump has been looking forward to in h

any time in london. just keeping a very low profile. just spending a few hours in oxfordshire. what will the discussion revolve around? it's not as if the president and theresa may have had the warmest of relationships. maria: that's right, and theresa may has been under some much pressure this week. she put out a white paper and has had a number of resignations this week. the one thing you can argue for go is that exit is just a no area. might be too late for that. trump said that this looks like a brexit that is not the brexit that the people in the u.k. voted for. the other big item is going to be trade. remember, theresa may put so much of her own political capital in get this huge trade deal with the u.s., but we have had no progress on that and trump is doing the opposite, just not taking part in international trade anymore. the conversation has shifted but maybe that is an area where theresa may want -- might want to get some clarity. mark: how significant is it that the bulk of his visit to the u

the podium himself she wanted to make sure that the world that we're now joined by you get moss in london and barbara vessel in brussels barbara i'm going to start with you because the nato summit was just over the last couple of days and the similar situation where trump made some comments and them pulled back on them what do you make of his comments that he just made at the presser today about nato. it's pretty much the same that he. did during the two days at nato only that he still doesn't seem to have understood that nato is not a main cash box where the member countries put money in but we're talking about money that each individual country uses and spends for their own military. kid keeps on was the sort of repeat misrepresentation and after leaving nato leaders completely flux and totally sort of out of their understand range an area of understanding because they did know where they were at was the same. and we can only say that this is the course he has he is steering however in the back here because i'm in the center of london that the main demonstration against the people are r

is configured acceptable this is in central london because of all of them joshua london not even talking about outside the m twenty five motorway type thing what it's like outside london river was i mean i should say dres i'm a voted against the repealing of section twenty eight he regrets it now but what you're saying is borne out by statistics stonewalls hate crime report from last year said one in five people experiencing a hate crime in the previous twelve months but four out of five and. crimes go unreported and they found that people really were reluctant to go to the police what why would that i think they just want to forget about it i mean if this was a racist incident. do you think people would be more likely to go to the police i suppose they would think of racism is less accepted. i'm homophobic attacks i mean the bus was packed and i think it's only one person that she's stepped in apart from myself i'm sure if it was myself you know that was a shock to racist abuse it would be a different matter i'm sure. an awful lot would actually get involved in a flood people would and
