S. And india which have been strained by a trade dispute trump and modi have been addressing a rally of 100000 people in the motera city. The Worlds LargestCricket Ground just keeping president that. Up but do you want to give the presence of President Trump here with his family and parts a new sweetness and closeness of family ties to the relations between india and the United States india or you had said relations oh. I dont know young. Jeff underfunded of the. A. D. D. You upon a good data and closer to religion. Its got to come down to the Everybody Loves him but i will tell you this hes very tough. Oh today Prime Minister modi is the tremendously successful leader of this vast indian republic. Last year more than 600000000. 00 people went to the polls and gave him a landslide victory like no other in the largest democratic election ever held 1 anywhere on the face of the earth lets get more now you have the latest from. Wall who is in delhi so why is india pulling out all of the stops for the american president today. No it wasnt the millions president was expecting but 100000 or more people did and out to the road show as well as the money they trump event and india did promise this to the president repeatedly now it is interesting that this is something the optics of this big show is something that actually benefits both of you does on the one hand they have precedent trump who is up for reelection ready so when the president ial elections in the u. S. Are this november and this is seen as an effort to appeal to the Indian American would be specially the good themed in American Water because the people from this state have many connections to Indian Americans in the u. S. And why Indian Americans largely were democrat this is seen by amnesty as an effort by President Trump to appeal to that water base on the other hand we have Prime Minister more of the one also had a similar how the how the more you went a few months ago in the u. S. And this is seen as annoyed by the u. S. For Prime Minister more the added i am going hes been criticized heavily for the indian governments moves in the shmita as well as the protests that they have seized oh i dont want a new citizenship law that has that came out a few months ago so this is also an exercise in good optics for Prime Minister more because of this is probably why this massive event is what is kicking off this was that both of those leaders we see them taking advantage of those opportunities but we know the bilateral ties are also at the center of these talks what is the seat of u. S. India relations right now. Well definitely side of the trade deal was actually supposed to be the highlight of this was that and has been in the making for months now however well it looks more and more unlikely that a major announcement will be made before his departure for india a precedent trump said that he would like for the street deal to come through before the president ial elections but it is probably not going to happen now this was something that was brought up in the rally as well india is upset with the u. S. For removing its trade status of preferential trade status last year and the u. S. Calls india the king of to address however there is cooperation expected on the defense front President Trump referred to this in the rally going to morrow we are expecting an announcement of a 3000000000 dollar tree. 1000000000 dollar defense deal between india and the u. S. The u. S. Of course views india as an important counter with china so theres a geopolitical and want to also do u. S. And debt is being strong what else is on the u. S. President s agenda. But precedent trump will be going to abra this evening to visit the large met her and this evening and syrupy would also be traveling to delhi and tomorrow is actually the main part of this bilateral because of this world and 36 our visit tomorrow he will be given a president ial vote of them at the ballot in delhi he will also watch and those of the gandhi memory but the really important aspect of it is by a lapse of trade and and that really that i expected to morrow in the uk normally later in the evening there could be a ceremonial dinner and their president will be heading back to the u. S. Mr joyce well with more on the u. S. President s a busy visit to india i think you can be sure.

Of the border and they also allowed to go to the supermarket visions also on the other side but if you go there you have to wear a mosque as a precautious measure how great is the fear of the virus among italians there. Its a mixed sentiment i would say is some of the people say they are very very that the virus will come and also get some of their families but others say this is the last the overdone 200 cases in the population of 60000000 is maybe not the sole many and many people are also confident that now the patient 0 has been found a man from could own who allegedly infected many of the known cases in the hospital and now the italian authorities authorities are doing everything to break this infection chain to find the people who had contact with that man and so many people here think the. This is overdone to close the opening was indeed i know it took to even to say the kind of a cannot take place in bed is because this is far away from here do they also feel that its overdone to close the borders because theres a proposal to do that on the table right now.

A British Court has begin a hearing on whether the wiki leaks founder Julian Assange should be extradited to the United States where he faces espionage charges relating to Intelligence Leaks supporters of his songs have been gathering outside of the london courts they are concerned that in the silence conviction in the United States would make it easier for prosecutors to target journalists who use sources inside of the government a song which would face the rest of his life in prison if found guilty. You know if you correspondent there to mass is covering the assad extradition hearing for us at the court in london so what is going to happen in this hearing today. Well this is the start of a ricoh of hearings is the legal arguments that the lower years of bringing forward for both sides then there is a lengthy delay its going to continue in may and theres going to be more weeks of the actual trial however lois is saying that this is likely to be a very very lengthy protest so whichever side is going to lose a slightly to go to appeal so Julian Assange says leave it to you are actually expecting this to last several years why is this songe such an important and controversial figure. Well here i am in front of the crown court which is near the high security prison where he is being held you can see many supporters there trying to get into the building and outside outside the gates there are people with placards chanting free julian or sounds for many years really a hero of press freedom of freedom of expression and they say that this is a political trial there wherever he went basically here in the u. K. He was outside here inside the Ecuadorian Embassy and outside you always had supporters so many of of his supporters a really very very fierce in the defense for him for them he is a hero then again there are others his critics was saying that he has published without the necessary journalistic guidelines the tauriel scrutiny so really. A very polarizing figure we have heard that some background on his life and work lets have a look. These are the images that made whistle blowing website wiki leaks a household name i am in 2010 it published classified u. S. Army material implicating the Us Government and possible war crimes i am weve made julian a song a brave defender of the truth to some rules and an enemy of the state to others. More controversy followed over a later mass leak of diplomatic cables and the 2016 publication of leaked emails from Hillary Clintons president ial campaign. In 2012 songs be counted a 7 year stretch holed up at the Ecuadorian Embassy in london trying to clear his name last week and so to extradite him on rape charges. Sweden dropped the case last year so. Too much time had passed but the prosecutor still says the accusation was credible so the un special rapporteur on torture told d. W. They were trumped up charges he said they were designed to ward off potential whistleblowers from quote erring governments dutchy laundry. In paris a song just father was ambivalent about his sons chances under the british justice system. If if it follows the trajectory of the treatment of julian of 10 years it will be a show trial but. The team of lawyers is so forceful and competent that im sure the crown prosecutor here 30 will see the error of they were just. Ahead of todays Court HearingJulian Assange has been held in a london mike the man security jail and supporters fear he could face a lot longer behind bars if extradited to the u. S. He may spend the rest of his life in prison and back to barrett now at the court in london as weve heard there bear get a key issue for the supporters as if this hearing will indeed be fair why is that. Well you have already alluded to it in the piece fearing that this is a political trial really there full to being questions over allegations that were reported in the australian media that julian the psalms and his interaction with this lawyer inside the Ecuadorian Embassy were being recorded and that the material was handed to Us Intelligence so even more than the u. K. Legal system its about eventually trial if he was extradited that could happen in the us in the us and julian a phone as. Ive actually said that this could be part of President Trumps war on john alyssum so very strong allegations here at mass in london thank you bigot.
