welcome to bbc news. i'm mike embley. our top stories: a day of pomp and protest ends with praise at the palace as president trump takes in his first state visit to the uk. mr president, as we look to the future, i'm confident that our common values and shared interest will continue to unite us. on behalf of all americans, i operate so is to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations. but some politicians boycotted the banquet and will be among thousands expected at an anti—trump protest in london later. sudan's security forces say a simple ‘sorry‘ for an attack on pro—democracy protesters that

left 30 people dead. it's 30 years since this protester tried to resist a brutal crackdown on china's pro—democracy movement. we talk to some of those who were there that day. president trump has enjoyed all the pomp and ceremony of a lavish banquet with the queen on the opening day of his state visit to britain. the president spoke of the shared sacrifice by servicemen and women from the us and the uk, during the d—day landings 75 years ago. but there are signs of tension too — two leading opposition party leaders refused to attend the dinner at buckingham palace and before he'd even landed in london, the president launched a twitter rant against the capital's mayor, who's been vocal in objecting to the trip. this report from our

north america editor, jon sopel. there are flashing images coming up. this state banquet in the ballroom of buckingham palace. white tie for men, long white gloves for women, medals, insignia, and tiaras welcome. the centrepiece of any state visit. mr president, i am delighted to welcome you and mrs trump to buckingham palace this evening. the queen spoke of the shared sacrifice of d—day and pointedly defended the institutions that have kept the peace since. bodies which the president seems much cooler towards. while the world has changed, we are forever mindful of the original purpose of these structures, nations working together to safeguard a hard—won peace. notably absent, the leader of the opposition, jeremy corbyn, and the speaker, john bercow, who declined to attend. the president didn't seem to notice. he was delighted to be there.

on behalf of all americans, i offer a toast to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations, and to the long—cherished and truly remarkable reign of her majesty, the queen. thank you. if the state dinner is the height of royal protocol, the day didn't exactly start like that. moments before donald trump arrived on air force one, he launched a most un—presidential attack on twitter on the mayor of london, sadiq khan. after 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's safe to assume the president won't be rolling out the red carpet at the white house for him anytime soon. 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. in the two and a half years of donald trump's presidency we've learned his views daily on anything and everything. from the 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 let it be known the queen was totally unconcerned when the us president walked ahead of her to inspect the troops. today, no such protocol infractions, although it came close. these pictures will play very well in the united states, where the royal family is still a source of huge fascination.

and, remember, this trip isn'tjust about the royal family, it's about the trump family, too, who've all come along. this is a state visit with nearly all the bells and whistles. there's no gold coach ride up the mall because of security concerns, there is nojoint address to parliament — because the speaker chose not to invite him. there was a display of gifts and artefacts. the president expressing some interest in what the queen was showing him. and then it was time to leave. this trip is a celebration of the closeness between the us and uk, even though there are many issues where it's more fraught relationship than special relationship. on trade, on climate change, on iran, on the chinese company huawei, there are big differences. but that will be the meat of tomorrow's political discussions. at westminster abbey, a moment of solemnity as the president laid a wreath

at the tomb of the unknown warrior. over the years, so many american and british soldiers have been comrades in arms. there was tea with prince charles at clarence house, where, i understand, the heir to the throne did raise the issue of climate change, an issue where the two men don't see eye to eye. and as for the duchess, well maybe she had something in her eye. this has been a day that has delighted the white house, delighted the president. the state visit has lost none of its lustre. john sopel, bbc news, buckingham palace. more and that to come, very likely. let's get some of the day's other news. kevin spacey made a surprise appearance on monday in the court which is hearing charges that he groped a busboy in 2016. the actor arrived accompanied by his lawyers, who've accused the teenager of deleting text messages that support spacey‘s claims of innocence. divers have brought up a second body

from the tourist boat which sank last week in budapest, after it was hit by a cruise ship. earlier another body was pulled from the river more than 100km downstream from hungary's capital. the mermaid was carrying mainly south korean tourists — it's thought 28 people died. the olympic 800—metre champion, caster semenya, is free once again to compete without taking medication to reduce testosterone, at least temporarily. a swiss court has suspended a ruling by world athletics‘ governing body, the iaaf, that would have implemented a restriction on testosterone levels in female runners. the ruling would have affected women competing from aoo—metres to the mile. and thisjust coming in. in a televised address this past hour, sudan's military leaders have said they will cancel all previous agreements with the main opposition coalition, and that elections would be held within nine months. this after reports that security

forces shot dead at least 30 unarmed protesters in khartoum on monday. activists have been staging a sit—in outside the military headquarters since april to demand a civilian government. leading figures in the united nations has condemned the use of excessive force. this report from our africa editor. it contains some images you may find distressing. chanting. a moment of realisation and dread. peaceful protesters confronting armed militia. this is the moment the military set out to crush hope in sudan. the chaos of running feet. the swaying phone on which this footage was captured. they hurled stones. man cries. gun shots. shouting.

a man calls out, "they are killing us." gun shots. this was intended to be little disregard for —— a lethal disregard, the lives of civilians. aargh! the gunfire worked along the streets, driving the people before it. it's a long way from the joy that greeted the overthrow of the dictator omar al—bashirjust six weeks ago. but protesters‘ hopes for a civilian government foundered in the face of military resistance. now this ruthless militia leader, mohamed hamdan, has unleashed his forces to end the protest and possibly stake a claim to supreme power. away from the main protest sites, some were trying to keep alive the spirit of the demonstrations. translation: the security forces

have betrayed the sudanese people. from security to police and army, as well as rabid security forces, people have died, others were injured. but the repression is intensifying, the military is supported by saudi arabia and other regional powers and the rest of the world has little interest in taking a strong stand for the people of sudan. fergal keane, bbc news. 30 years ago, troops of the chinese army were rounding up groups of protestors in beijing. they had crushed the student demonstrations in tiananmen square, killing, it's thought, as many as 3,000 civilians in the crackdown. since then, the ruling communist party has tried to prevent any discussion of what happened in june 1989. our correspondent robin brant joins me now from beijing. is it really true that this means nothing, then? i'm not sure that it

means nothing, but there is no official commemoration of the events that happened in tiananmen square, which is about three or four kilometres in that direction on this precise day 30 years ago. it was on the morning ofjune four 1989 that people woke up to scenes of carnage, really, in parts of that square. hundreds of these had been killed after the army was sent in after weeks of peaceful protest. hundreds more were killed on the roads approaching the square, often a little known fact. we did get an idea of the official start on those events in an auditor aerial does make auditoria there editorial —— editorial, state run media referring it as editorial, state run media referring itasa editorial, state run media referring it as a vaccination, immunising it against future turmoil. the leadership sees the events of the

past, three decades, china is a far different ways, a richer place, less people in poverty. a more open country as well, but the leadership sees those events as a vindication, really. robin, obviously these events a re really. robin, obviously these events are still in the memory of people who survived and people alive today. how have they achieve this virtual blackout? there is a revisionism really of history on an almost incomprehensible scale. what happened here three decades ago is not taught in schools, it is not in history books, there is intense censorship, particularly now on social media. social media that is far easier for this country to control. there is intense censorship about those events, singularly in the period running up to today. we've had twitter having to apologise for taking down tens of

thousands of accounts, which are of course not legal here in the country. on china's version of twitter, a platform called weibo, i was reading some of the emojis have been changed. the emergency of the candle to remember the deaths of some people, that has been removed in the few days prior. so the sensitivity goes down to the smallest of things. having said all about, there is a propaganda slogan ona about, there is a propaganda slogan on a metal board here which the drivers passing on to work have seen in beijing "towards a beautiful, democratic china." that's under xi jinping, that's very different to the democracy envisaged by millions of protesters at one stage in tiananmen square, 30 years ago. robin, thank you very much indeed for that. rescue teams in india searching

for a group of missing climbers have spotted what they believe are five bodies on the country's second highest peak. the climbers disappeared in multiple avalanches, on nanda deviak. the family of one of the missing climbers say the group were trying to scale an uncharted and unnamed summit. authorities are trying to work out how to retrieve the bodies from an area near nanda devi east peak, where helicopters cannot land. yogita limaye reports from uttarakhand, in northern india. once the heavy rain stopped this morning, the helicopter was able to set out. it returned with this photograph of the avalanche on nanda devi and grim news. five bodies had been spotted. eight of these climbers have been missing on the mountain. last contact with them was more than a week ago. four others, all british nationals who were on a different part of nanda devi, were rescued on sunday. indian authorities say they knew where to look based on their information.

one of those rescued told a police officer they tried making radio contact with the missing team but couldn't. i think it's a big problem for mountaineers who come here, no communication. for example now, it's a big problem. but, 0k, probably the avalanche was the end. but if there are survivors, six days, it's too long. they won't have survived. the team is being led by martin moran, seen on the left in this video, guiding climbers in scotland. a well—known mountaineer, he'd taken several expeditions to the indian himalayas. for rupert she will, the trip was an early 50th birthday present to himself. i can't think of nicer friends, it's just terrible.

himself. i can't think of nicer friends, it'sjust terrible. i think inherent dangers of mountaineering, one of them as avalanches. they were just unlucky. it looks like a big avalanche has ta ken just unlucky. it looks like a big avalanche has taken them all out. nanda devi is considered one of the toughest mountains in the world to climb. not many have dared to take on its peaks. now the challenge before the authorities is how to live the bodies out of such difficult terrain where helicopters cannot land. and how to continue the search for those who have not yet been located. all of it is being made even harder because of bad weather conditions. and there's also the fear of putting more lives at risk to bring the bodies out. yogita limaye, bbc news, in uttarakhand. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: a blockbuster attraction — nostalgia fans flock to last remaining branch of the video rental store.

this is bbc news. the latest headlines: president trump has praised "decades of friendship" between the us and uk, at a banquet which capped the first day of his state visit. there have been some small protests against the president here so far, but on tuesday organisers are expecting at least a quarter of a million people to turn out on london's streets, with protests also in other cities. demonstrators in london will hear an address by the labour opposition leaderjeremy corbyn. david moye, a reporter with the huff post, joins us from san diego. good to talk to you. the uk knows how to be polite, officially, but it is fairto how to be polite, officially, but it is fair to say that some people in the uk are gritting their teeth for the uk are gritting their teeth for the duration of this state visit. how does it all look from there?|j

think how does it all look from there?” think a lot of the people here have a great admiration for british peoples ability to create really funny protest signs and really funny protests. we know there have been a big reaction with the group projecting various things on top of london landmarks and showing that barack obama is still more important on the tower of london. we love all this stuff. there is still about a third of the population that loves trumpet no matter what happens but the rest of us appreciate the brit‘ sense of humour about him. why doesn‘t care about him coming to the

uk? at this point, it looks like everything that he does that might be considered normally a part of the president‘sjob, it always be considered normally a part of the president‘s job, it always seems to be damage control, basically to try to change the narrative on stuff. last week, we were all talking about the mueller report and then he goes to japan the mueller report and then he goes tojapan and the mueller report and then he goes to japan and people start talking about impeachment. that‘s a lot of cynical americans thinking that all of this trip, even though it was planned in advance, isjust of this trip, even though it was planned in advance, is just a way for the president to dodge answering real questions about obstruction of justice and such. on that point, why do you think he chose just before he landed from air force one, to lay into the mayor of london, knowing how many he would offended. sadiq khan would not have been the mayor if he didn‘t get a majority of votes. why did he do it? because he

isa votes. why did he do it? because he is a jerk? this is not a guy who is really known for his empathy and he obviously has antipathy towards people who are, people who don‘t necessarily come from is northern european background. he is basically a jerk, i know its a answer but sometimes simple solutions are the easiest. you might call it simplistic, other people might call it offensive. people might disagree but of course, one way or another, the uk has to have the relationship with the us and there has to be something like this state visit. absolutely, absolutely. and nobody we re absolutely, absolutely. and nobody were grudges the royals or the prime minister. donald trump may not necessarily be a legit president but it behoves the royals to keep things going as normal, assuming, treating

him like they would treat all the other better presidents. thank you very much for that. jay—z has been listed by forbes magazine as hip hop‘s first billionaire. forbes says his music, property, fashion and investment assets "conservatively total" at least a billion dollars. his superstar wife beyonce is reportedly worth about $335 million. there‘s some surprise that the influential producer and rapper dr dre has not made the billionaire rankings. a campaign‘s been launched by a group ofjapanese women, urging the government to ban companies from forcing women to wear high—heel shoes to work. they‘ve handed in a petition signed by nearly 20,000 people. the movement has been named ku—too to mimic the me too movement. it‘s also a play on two japanese words meaning ‘shoe‘ and ‘pain‘. the small city of bend in the us state of oregon is often a pit stop for campers travelling to the nearby national parks. but now, there‘s growing interest

in bend, thanks to a surprise drawcard which has become a nostalgic attraction. as sophia tran—thomson reports, bend is home to the last remaining blockbuster video store in the world! at its peak in 2004, blockbuster had more than 9000 rental video stores, spread across 15 countries, and employed almost 16,000 people in the us alone. now, bend, oregon, is home to the last remaining blockbuster in the world. the videos are long gone, replaced by dvds, since the start of the millennium. but if you are of a certain age, the fun of hiring a film hasn‘t changed. certain age, the fun of hiring a film hasn't changed. coming in here is like being a kid again and the smell when you walk in here, too, its like... two old movies! you are reminiscing. advances in technology have been major fact reminiscing. advances in technology have been majorfact is on reminiscing. advances in technology have been major fact is on the demise of rental stores after videos we re demise of rental stores after videos were replaced by dvds, streaming and subscription services hit the market. in 2010, blockbusterfiled

watching. hello. if you want yourjune weather to come with sunshine and warmth, this isn‘t the forecast for you. but if you want some rain on the garden, well, we‘re in business, because during tuesday, most of us will see some rain at some stage of the day as a weather system coming in from the south—west extends that rain further north and east as the day goes on. already, as tuesday starts, some of that rain into parts of wales and south—west england. ahead of that, maybe a bit of sunshine in some spots to start the day. fairly chilly for some of us where you‘ve been clear overnight. as low as mid single figures in places. so let‘s look at the story of tuesday‘s weather, with the rain coming in. so here it is to start the day. some heavier bursts are possible as it slowly extends its way north and east. there may be a few thundery bursts developing across parts

of south—east england and east anglia. and that rumble of thunder possible in the showers in highland scotland, ahead of the arrival of the rain, though the far north of scotland will stay mainly dry. now, it‘s still breezy out there. it‘s not as windy as it‘s been over the past couple of days. may see temperatures as high as 21 celsius in sunny spells developing again in south—east england. look at that, belfast just 12 degrees on a cool, wet day. so this area of rain extends further northwards as we go through tuesday night and into wednesday. just rotates around, though, scotland, northern ireland and parts of northern england, whereas the rest of england and wales are turning drier and clearer at this stage, and these are the starting temperatures on wednesday. so we still have a bit of rain out there on wednesday morning. now, as the day goes on, it will become confined mostly to northern scotland. elsewhere, there‘ll be some sunny spells to be had, but there‘ll be a few showers developing. and catch one, it could be heavy, possibly thundery, slow—moving too, in fairly light winds out there, and temperatures are just at if not a bit below average for the time of year. maybe a bit of rain reaching parts

of eastern england to end the day, as a weather system in the north sea will then spill some rain northwards into thursday, more significantly into parts of northern england and scotland. some heavy showers again developing into parts of england and wales. there will be a bit of sunshine here and there, not doing a huge amount for the temperature. then, as we take a look at the big picture at the end of the week, another area of low pressure late friday into saturday brings the potentialfor some more significant rain over a larger area, so we‘ll keep an eye on that. and, over the weekend, low pressure is still close by, so it is still unsettled. so this is the picture for the rest of the week, and into the weekend. yes, june warmth, there isn‘t a great deal of it. wet, there is — sometimes.

this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump‘s capped the first day of his uk state visit with a banquet at buckingham palace hosted by queen elizabeth. but a number of politicians boycotted the event and will attend an anti—trump rally in central london later that‘s expected to draw thousands of protesters. the dinner wrapped up a day of events included dinner with prince charles. mr trump also continued his feud with the mayor of london before he even landed, saying he was a stone cold loser. on tuesday, the president has a —— another full schedule including a day with theresa may. sudan‘s military leaders say they are cancelling all existing agreements with the main opposition coalition and will hold elections within nine months. it comes after security forces fired on pro—democracy protesters with reports at least 30 people were killed.
