a very warm welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to our viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is 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 politicians boycotted the banquet — and will be among thousands expected at an 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. 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.

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. 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. sudan's military leaders have cancelled all agreements with the main opposition coalition, and promised new elections. it comes after reports that security forces shot dead at least 30 unarmed protesters in khartoum on monday. activists had been staging a sit—in outside military headquarters since april, demanding a civilian government. seniorfigures in the united nations have condemned the use of excessive force. in his address to the nation, the head of the sudanese transitional military council,

general abdel fattah al—burhan, said that the opposition protest movement must bear some responsibility for what has happened. he pledged to end negotiations between the transitional military council and the protest movement. the general also promised that general elections would be called within nine months. our africa editor fergal keane reports on the bloodshed in khartoum on monday. you may find some of the images 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 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. after two and a half years of hearings, canada's national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls has released its long—awaited report. it's concluded that the violence it heard about during hours of testimonies amounts to a "genocide" of canada's first nations and other indigenous peoples. jessica murphy has sent this report from ottawa. it was an emotional moment witnessed

by many of the families of the victims. the formal handing over of the final report 0 canada's national enquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. and it was many years in the making. not just the almost three years of work by the enquiry, but decades of advocacy by families or people who have lost sisters, mothers, and daughters, and wanted the voices of their lost loved ones heard. the documents, two volumes, over 1000 pages, over 200 recommendations stop its findings, in the words of canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau, uncomfortable. to the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls of canada, to their families, and to survivors, we have failed you. but we will fail you no longer. in the days ahead let us walk forward together as partners,

hand—in—hand, as we write these roles and seekjustice for the indigenous people of canada —— write these wrong. there is no official count when it comes to the number of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls over the past few decades. is about 1200. but the enquiry found that the victims were connect to buy economic, social, and political marginalisation. racism and misogyny, the commissioner says, are and misogyny, the commissioner says, a re wove n and misogyny, the commissioner says, are woven into canadian society. justin trudeau has made reconciliation with canada's 11 6 million indigenous canadians a priority. he promised his government would not ignore the report's findings. the family said today that they will hold him to account. jessica murphy, bbc news, gatineau. 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 world 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. 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 is thought, as many as 3,000 civilians. since that crackdown, the ruling communist party has tried to prevent any discussion of what happened injune 1989. 0ur correspondentjohn sudworth has been talking with people who were there.

wang zhixin was one of the leaders of the protests. he has 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 is 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 mrwang. then, late at night on 3june, 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 where 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 a 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, wang zhixin 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 written several books on the country. he told me about the ways some chinese people are keeping alive the memories of what happened in june 1989, despite the official censorship. there's been a remarkable growth over the past couple of decades, but especially the past, say, ten years, in unofficial histories. these are people who are not necessarily trained as historians.

they may be artists, journalists, professors, people — ordinary people who just keep alive the memory of something, a particularfamine or a political campaign, including the tiananmen massacre. they do this through making documentary films, by writing historical accounts of this, memoirs, publishing photos. and all of these things that become popular through digital technology, or possible through digital technology, which has made it a lot easier to make these products and disseminate them, despite the strict censorship. and in many ways, quite often, i gather, people are accessing them through vpns, virtual private networks, which of course are very restricted legally in china. yes, they are. china has over 700 million internet users, but there are an estimated, say, 10—15% of the

populations that has vpns. so, in raw numbers, that's still a lot of people. tens of millions of people have access to uncensored news. i think you have to also keep in mind that, in any authoritarian state, there's always an effort to control information, and it's 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. so i think the key point now in china is that this flame, that this information, is being kept alive being passed on, and even though the overall percentage of population is not high, it's still happening. and you tell an extraordinary tale, too, of what is in effect a kind of code of remembrance on a tombstone? yes, there was a young man who was killed

in the massacre on the night of 3june, the morning of the 4th, wu xiangdong. his mother, she and her husband mourn their son, obviously. the father who raised the son died a few years later, and all of his friends and familyjust said he died of grief, essentially. and so on the tombstone, it had a poem on the back of it explaining how he died of grief. and then it lays out the flowers that the family is supposed to, somebody is supposed to put out in front of the tombstones, and so you have eight of one kind of flower and nine of another, six of another flower and four of another. so 8, 9, 1989, 6 forjune and 4 for the fourth ofjune. so these 27 flowers — ms xu jue used to always 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 i've made a point of always

going to the grave, just to see how it is. and every day on tomb—sweeping holiday, which is in late spring, there are always 27 flowers put there. so you can say that — i don't know who it is, there's no immediate family left in beijing, but there's always somebody who remembers. and i think, for me, this is symbolic of how people don't let this stuff go. yeah, the majority of people maybe have moved on, but there's still a group of people for whom this was such a traumatic event that they can't let it go. 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 $1 billion. his superstar wife, beyonce, is reportedly worth about $335 million. there is some surprise that the influential producer and rapper dr dre has not made the billionaire rankings. many corporate firms around the world enforce strict dress codes but one japanese woman is taking a stand. the actor and writer yumi ishikawa has launched a campaign urging

the government to ban companies forcing women to wear high—heel shoes to work. she has handed in a petition signed by nearly 20,000 people. she began her campaign after she was forced to wear high heels while working at a funeral parlour. ramzan karmali reports. yumi ishikawa, the woman forced to wear high heels for a part time job in a funeral parlour. now, she is campaigning. she wants the japanese government to ban firms from forcing women to wear high heels to work. translation: many women feel that they should wear heeled shoes in the office or when job hunting, so i wanted to change the situation in japanese customs. ms ishikawa handed in a petition signed by around 19,000 to the ministry of health. her campaign has been named #kutoo on social media, to mimic the #metoo movement. it is also a play on two japanese words meaning shoe and pain. this isn't the first time a campaign has been launched to change dress

codes at work for women. in 2015, a london receptionist was sent home from work without pay after she refused to wear high heels. nicola thorpe set up a petition calling for uk dress code laws to be changed. this was never just about a pair of shoes. it's about how women are viewed in the workplace, that there's so much pressure on women to notjust look professional, but look attractive. following media coverage, the firm that sent ms thorpe home changed their policy on high heels. in 2017, a canadian province scrapped the dress code which required female workers to wear high heels. the government of british columbia said forcing women to wear them was not only a form of discrimination, but that wearers faced a risk of physical injury from slipping or falling, as well as possible damage to their feet, legs and back. ramzan karmali, bbc news. the small city of bend, in oregon, is often a pit stop for campers travelling to the nearby national parks. but now, there is 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 9,000 video rental stores, spread across 15 countries, and employed almost 60,000 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're of a certain age, the fun of hiring a film hasn't changed. coming in here is like being a kid again, and like, the smell when you walk in here, too, it's like... it's, oh, movies! it's like you reminisce when you were a kid, yeah. advances in technology have been major factors in the demise of rental stores.

after videos were replaced by dvds, streaming and subscription services hit the market. in 2010, blockbuster filed for bankruptcy, and when a store in australia closed earlier this year, bend became home to the last blockbuster on the planet. now, the last store standing has become a tourist attraction in its own right, and even cashes in on merchandise. we had a gentleman who flew here that had worked at a blockbuster in spain, and he flew all the way here just to see us. so those type of things arejust amazing, and fun, and we just can't thank everyone enough for all of the positive encouragement that we've been getting. i've always been a fan of blockbusters and renting. it was like a childhood thing for me. and since i'm driving across the country, like, of all the stops that i wanted to do, this was the one that was on my radar the most. for now, blockbuster says there is no threat of closure for the bend store, and the open sign will remain lit, keeping the dream of the small screen alive, seven days a week. sophia tran—thomson, bbc news. so if you have videos you have never returned, you need to get to oregon.

there is more on all our stories on the bbc news website. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. 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 have cancelled all existing agreements with the main opposition coalition and announced they will hold elections within nine months. earlier it's reported security forces fired on unarmed pro—democracy protesters, killing at least 30 people. a funeral has been held for the spanish footballer jose antonio reyes, in his home town of seville. two days ago he died, aged just 35, in a car crash. thousands turned out to pay their respects. he'd played for arsenal and sevilla and was a former
