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 interests will continue to unite us. on behalf of all americans, i offer a toast to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations. but some senior political figures boycotted the banquet and will be among thousands expected atan anti—trump protest in london later.

more uncertainty for sudan as military leaders cancel deals with the opposition and call a snap election. it's 30 years since this protestor 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. let's get some of the day's other news. there have been some small protest against the president so far, but a quarter of a million are expected to turn out to protest against donald trump. lucy mannering reports.

haven't seen any protest yet, the president tweeted, but i'm sure the fa ke president tweeted, but i'm sure the fake news will be working hard to find them. they were just below his helicopter as he landed for the state banquet, although, just a few hundred strong. he is racist, is a climate change denier, and a playground bully, frankly, i don't think he owned a state visit i don't think he owned a state visit i don't think he owned a state visit i don't think he should be having dinner with the queen. he is a misogynist, ijust can't with the queen. he is a misogynist, i just can't stand with the queen. he is a misogynist, ijust can't stand him. don't you think it is right as the leader of one of our closest allies he should be here for a state visit? if he we re be here for a state visit? if he were a better human being, yes. the president also tweeted tremendous crowd, it was in truth, a low—key turnout from demonstrators and supporters alike. i would say enjoy great written in london and enjoy what —— be careful of what you

tweeted. really, the american people, which is a lot should treasure him. i don't necessarily think that people should be all upset about trump, it's the office of the president. tens of thousands of the president. tens of thousands of people are expected out on the streets, they won't get need to president trump, but they're hoping that when he's in downing street he will hear their protest outside. say it now, say it clear! donald trump's not welcome here. jeremy corbyn, instead of dining with the president tonight confirmed he will be protesting against him tomorrow. with a wave for those who had come to support him, the president who generates such strong views for and against him might just generates such strong views for and against him mightjust spot more protesters on the second day of his visit. lucy mannering, bbc news.

let's quickly round up more of the main news for you. 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 iookm downstream from hungary's capital. the mermaid was carrying mainly south korean tourists — it's thought 28 people died. rescue teams have spotted five bodies while searching for a group of missing climbers in india. the group of eight climbers from india, australia, britain and the us were trying to summit nanda devi, the country's second—highest mountain, when they disappeared after an avalanche. 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. in a televised address,

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. it comes after reports on monday 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. seniorfigures in the united nations have condemned the use of excessive force. this report from our africa editor, fergal keane, 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 a lethal disregard for the lives of civilians. aargh! the gunfire whipped 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. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: thousands pay their respects at the funeral of spanish footballer jose antonio reyes who died in a car crash on saturday.

this is bbc news. our main story this hour: president trump has praised "decades of friendship" between the us and uk, at a banquet which capped the first day of his state visit. the pomp is expected to give way to protests on day two, as anti—trump demonstrators converge on the capital for planned demonstrations. 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 three thousand civilians in the crackdown. since then, the ruling communist party has tried to prevent any discussion of what happened in june 1989. 0ur correspondentjohn sudworth has been talking with people who were there. 0ur correspondent robin brant joins me now from beijing. is it really true that this means nothing, then? wong ju—xin was one of the leaders of the protests. he's never been back

to tiananmen square until now. translation: 30 years ago there was a student movement here which shocked the world. but all these tourists must have forgotten. they have no way to find out what happened here because the information is censored. what happened here is still so politically sensitive it's safer to do the interview in the car. it was the moment the communist party almost lost its grip on power, rocked by five weeks of massive, peaceful demonstrations. first, senior officials tried meeting the student leaders, including mr wong. then, late at night on the 3rd ofjune, they sent in the army, killing hundreds, possibly thousands, in the effort to retake the square. the following day there was one final act of defiance. it has become one of the most

iconic images of our time, except in china. the vast majority of those we ask say they have never seen it. just over there is the spot tank man stood, although you would never know it. the silence and censorship are now central to the official line. the protests were dealt with, china is today more prosperous and the country should move on. not everyone sees it that way. bao tong, a former senior official jailed for supporting the protests still believes china would be better off if they had succeeded. translation: i see china without censorship and without a privileged class, a place where the poor can live freely without being driven out of the big cities, and a china that does not need to steal foreign technology.

two miles from the square wong ju—xin shows me the place he first saw the tanks arrive. the decision to speak out, he admits, is a risky one. but it is also proof that despite the efforts to force people to forget, some insist on remembering. john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. ianjohnson has lived in china for more than 20 years and has written several books on the country. in a recent article he drew attention to the ways that some chinese people are keeping alive the memories of what happened in june 1989, despite the official censorship. hejoins me now from beijing. people always remember and they find ways to help others remember. can you give us some examples?m ways to help others remember. can you give us some examples? it has

been remarkable growth over the last couple of decades, especially the last ten years, in unofficial histories. these are people who are not necessarily trained as historians. the artists, journalists, professors, ordinary people who just keep alive the memory of something, a particular famine ora memory of something, a particular famine or a political campaign including the tiananmen massacre. they do this by making documentary films, i writing they do this by making documentary films, iwriting historical accounts of this memoir, publishing photos and all of these things that become popular through digital technology and possible through digital technology which has made it a lot easier to make these products and disseminate them despite the scripts. quite often i gather people are accessing them through virtual private networks which of course a very restricted legally in china. yes, they are. china has almost 700

million internet users but there are an estimated 10— 15% of the populations that have a vpn. in raw numbers, that is still a lot. tens of millions of people have access to uncensored news. you of millions of people have access to uncensored news. you have to keep in mind that in any authoritarian state, there is always an effort to control information and it is always a minority of people who are able to access this but i think all change in society, all revolutions, start with a small group of people. the key point now in china is that this information is being kept alive and being passed on and even the overall percentage of population being not high, it is still happening. you tell an extraordinary tale which is in effect a kind of code of remembrance on a tombstone? yes. there was a young man who was killed on the massacre on the night ofjune

three. his mother, she and her husband mounir their son, obviously. —— mourned. he died a few days later and does make his father died of grief, essentially, as he died a few days later. 0n the tombstone, it tells of this and lays out the flowers so you have eight of one kind of flour and nine of another, six of another and four of another. —— flower. these 27 flowers, they a lwa ys —— flower. these 27 flowers, they always used to put them out in front of the tombstone in the springtime

when she went to sweep the grave and she died a couple of years ago and since then, point of going to the grave, just to see how it is and every day on terms sweeping holiday, there are always 27 flowers put there. i don't know who it is, there is no family left in beijing but there is always somebody who remembers and i think for me, this is symbolic of how people don't let this stuff go, the majority of people maybe have moved on but there is still a group of people for whom this was such a traumatic event that they can't let it go. there is so much more fascinating and moving stuff in your writings which i know people will chase up. thank you so much for talking to us. thank you. the funeral has taken place ofjose antonio reyes — the spanish footballer who died on saturday. the 35—year—old was killed in a car crash on a road outside seville. thousands took to the streets to pay their respects to a player who had enjoyed success across europe. the bbc‘s tim allman has more.

and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter — i'm @bbc mike embley. 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. 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 unarmed pro—democracy protesters with reports at least 30 people were killed. the funeral of spanish footballer jose antonio reyes has been held in his home town in seville, two days after he died in a car crash. thousands turned out to pay their respects to the 35—year—old who had played for arsenal and sevilla
