state visit to the uk. whereas monday was dominated with royalty and pageantry, and all went fairly smoothly, today the trip will take a more political turn, and there are security measures in place in london ahead of planned protests. let'sjoin philippa let's join philippa thomas who let'sjoin philippa thomas who is that buckingham palace. good morning, philip r. —— philippa. so, business breakfast first? yes. ben talks in downing street. this is the day for politics, then perhaps, also protest —— then talks in downing street. we saw the pageantry in the state banquet go up very smoothly indeed. it is things are always planned and rehearsed down to the

smallest detail, but it was frankly quite splendid. let's give you a flavour of what was said in the toast, the formal speeches that came from the president of the united states and from the queen. tonight we celebrate an alliance that has helped to ensure the safety and prosperity of both our peoples for decades. and which i believe will endure for many years to come. as we honour our shared victory and heritage, we affirm the common values that will unite us long into the future. well, let's give you something of an insight into the way things are going. my guest this morning here at buckingham palace is greg swenson. you are also a spokesman for republicans overseas. how is it going so far? so far so

good. the ceremony went off like clockwork. the president was very dignified, the first lady was very dignified. it went really well. from everything i saw yesterday, so far, so everything i saw yesterday, so far, so good. and common interests. he is here to honour the 75th anniversary of d—day, that is a great estimate of d—day, that is a great estimate of their commitment between the two countries, the shared service, shared sacrifice. a great moment for both countries, but so much opportunity here, especially if and when there is a brexit, that could create an opportunity for trade. the countries there the countries are great foreign direct investors in each other‘s countries. great foreign direct investors in each other's countries. we will talk to you in a few minutes, donald trump was weeding there is an opportunity for a great trade deal, but, as you know these things take time. it's taken time for brexit, but, look, ithink

time. it's taken time for brexit, but, look, i think it should be the first phone call for the uk after brexit. i think the president has signalled that several times over the last 2.5 years and i think it's a great opportunity. if it is that first phone call, using the president is signalling that he will be receptive that thing will, you know unfold quickly? without a doubt. you can telljust from his presence here how much he is enjoying all of this, that the uk is very important to him. i think it would be a great opportunity to strike something quickly. and the way the red carpet has been rolled out, does that make a difference to him? this president has a significant ego. on one hand he has a thick skin, on the other he really relishes in this. so far i can tell from his behaviour that this is important to him, the relationship is very important to him. it's been imported into the country historically, but also this president in particular ——

importance, so it's good. more on thoseissues importance, so it's good. more on those issues and talks today at downing street today after the business breakfast you were referring to there earlier. i'll be backin referring to there earlier. i'll be back ina referring to there earlier. i'll be back in a few minutes. and in the business briefing as well, in 25 minutes' time, we will be discussing who was at that is in uzbekistan what they will be discussing as business after discussing as business after discussing formalities —— that business breakfast. it is down to business breakfast. it is down to business for the second day of trump's state visit. mr trump used his address to praise the queen and the events that have taken place so far. a full day for the us president and the first lady tania trump. so all of that will be discussed in more detail when we return to philippa —— miller tania trump, and

we also have to take you to our top story today. sudan's military leaders say they are cancelling all existing agreements with the main opposition coalition and will hold elections within nine months. the televised statement followed reports that the security forces had shot dead at least thirty unarmed protesters in khartoum on monday. our africa security correspondent tomi oladipo is monitoring events in sudan from nairobi in kenya. we were breaking this story this time yesterday seeing horrific footage coming into us at the bbc on what was going on. talk us through what was going on. talk us through what has developed since? well, as you mention, now the transitional military council has said it will council all existing agreements with the opposition, civilian opposition

alliance, who they had agreed with that they would be an interim government. what happened was they we re government. what happened was they were having thoughts but they disagreed over the make up of this interim government and exactly who would had it. both the military and the civilian opposition wanted to have the upper hand in this interim government. now this statement from the military regime also blames the civilian coalition for the delay in an agreement and they are saying that they are calling for elections in nine months. and what is the reaction to this? on the international stage there is condemnation of what happened yesterday, but from the point of view of those who have been protesting, what's their reactions while of this? well, the news broke overnight so we will wait in till the day to hear what different protest groups have to say about this. i guess the military will be hoping that this placate them, divides their opinion, because while

they are cancelling existing agreements and calling for elections, they will hope that the protesters might be open to the idea of elections —— placates. but the protesters have only been angered by what happened on monday and have called for a public disobedience. they want this military government to go immediately. they have had support from the un, the us, the african union and a range of international partners condemning the violence from the security forces. so i think the civilian opposition will feel like they have backing to continue pushing against the military regime. 0k, tomi oladipo, thank you for now. let's brief you on the latest stories today. the us house of representatives is to vote next week on whether to hold the attorney general in contempt of congress over his handling of the russia investigation. democrat lawmakers say william barr has failed to comply with a subpoena demanding that he publish the full, unredacted report on russian

interference in the 2016 election and the accompanying evidence. the italian prime minister, giuseppe conte, has given an ultimatum to the two governing parties: stop squabbling and honour the government's commitments, or he'll resign. mr conte heads a fractious year—old populist coalition between the league and the five star movement, which soured further during last month's campaigning for european parliamentary elections. the tech giant apple has announced that its music download service, itunes, is to be shut down. the firm announced the launch of a range of replacement music, podcast and television apps at its annual developer conference in san jose. itunes has lost subscribers in recent years as listeners increasingly turn to streaming services. our tech reporter david lee was at

that conference in sanjose, later we will be hearing from him. the share price in the so—called faang stocks, that's the acronym encompassing the big tech giants, have seen their share price slump in the us. that was mostly in the nasdaq index. facebook, amazon, apple, netflix and google's parent company alphabet saw $137 billion wiped off their stock market value. with me is lawrence gosling, editor—in—chief of what investment. good morning laurence. good morning. why the huge sell—off? any excuse to ta ke why the huge sell—off? any excuse to take profits, but why this time? we've seen a series of announcements from all of these individual companies. google has some anti—trust issues in the us, netflix

is borrowing too much money to make too many programmes, individual problems within each company but when you put them together you are seeing something amazing. that was driving the market and people are thinking perhaps the ride is over. and with itunes, that the latest one of these developments. there was also news that facebook was getting ready for anti—trust sort of investigations as well. yeah. there isa investigations as well. yeah. there is a concern that facebook, amazon and the likes of others, they are now so and the likes of others, they are now so huge and did that perhaps they need to be taken down a peg or two by regulators. exactly. in the us, it's become a big part of the us presidential election, the fact that there is a feeling that they are all too big and should be broken up into little pieces because again, many of them are effectively monopolies in them are effectively monopolies in the space that they operate in. and you know, we as consumers, governments, like monopolies. so there is a generalfeeling governments, like monopolies. so there is a general feeling that the great times of these big, big tech

businesses might be over and we are onto the next iteration or phase of them. that makes investors nervous out there. and there are still nervous about the trade were as well. thank you lawrence for now. —— trade wars. so much more to come on the briefing including taking a stand: japanese women campaign to end dress codes that demand they wear high heels to work. the queen and her husband began their royal progress to westminster. the moment of crowning in accordance with the order of service, by a signal given, the great guns of the tower shall be shot off. tributes have been paid around the world to muhammad ali, who has died at the age of 7a.

outspoken but rarely outfought, ali transcended the sport of boxing, of which he was three times a world champion. he was a good fighter. he fought all the way to the end, even through his illness. yes, he did. uefa imposes an indefinite ban on english clubs playing in europe. today is the 20th anniversary of the release of the beatles lp sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band, a record described as "the album of the century." you're watching the briefing. our headlines: sudan's military has called a snap election after its deadly crackdown on protesters, scrapping plans for a three year transition.

after the pomp, comes the politics. its day 2 of president trump's state visit to the uk, with talks with the prime minister and business leaders on the agenda. let's stay with that now. let's stay with that now and go back to philippa thomas at buckingham palace. wright today might be a little bit more controversial compared to yesterday's pleasantries, more controversial compared to yesterday's pleasa ntries, shall we say? —— today might be. yesterday's pleasa ntries, shall we say? -- today might be. it could be pretty lively. issues like climate change or huawei, the chinese tech giantand change or huawei, the chinese tech giant and whether it has a place in addition 5g networks. those kinds of issues may well be on the agenda when president trump needs theresa may. it is also a question of who else he might meet. bringing out guest back in, greg swenson, a merchant banker here in london but also a spokesperson for people

overseas full up their other formal meetings but also quite a lot of interest in whether the president might endorse a candidate for conservative party leadership. yes, it is an exciting moment for the candidates. my guess is any one of them would like to have endorsement or at least acknowledgement of this president. it could be an institute — make interesting informal moment. the name that comes up is obviously borisjohnson. he the name that comes up is obviously boris johnson. he has the name that comes up is obviously borisjohnson. he has already almost been endorsed, really. yes and he is similarto been endorsed, really. yes and he is similar to president trump. they have these similarities he would like to take advantage of and the president has expressed interest in him in the past. they are both fla m boya nt him in the past. they are both flamboyant and both crave attention and are both outspoken to say the least. i think you can see that. and

i think iris would be very excited to have any sort of time with the president this stage in the campaign. that is the possibility. that is where we could have guessed you don't anticipate. so far it has been very orchestrated. very scripted. he might have opportunities today where it might not be as script dead and you might have some questions and answers with the president. what about the brexit party? nigel farage? the president has possibly been advised to keep his distance. who knows? he could be there, too. you are not ruling it

out? anything can happen. so far its been very scripted and this president doesn't necessarily like to stay on script. when i —— when he does, i think he is more effective. unfortunately the state of the union address is only once a year. his advisers perhaps did not want, we will see, it could be more loose today, more relaxed. you have this sense about him idling against his restraints. there are cringeworthy moments with this president where you roll your eyes but that is also pa rt of you roll your eyes but that is also part of his appeal and one of the reasons why he was a lack. there was this growing discontent with politicians as usual that say something they don't really mean and he just sort of shoots from the hip and is very candid. that is his style. if you want formal,

diplomatic, well mannered conversations, he is not the president for that but during this cycle, its been very popular and its worked for him. we might see more of it today. thank you the curtain raiser. watching whether it be at business breakfast or if we see a bit more vintage donald trump come through later, we will be bringing it to you as it happens. thank you, philippa, at buckingham palace. here's our briefing on some of the key events happening later. we begin with candlelight vigils to mark the 30th anniversary of the tiananmen square protests. thousands will gather in hong kong's victoria park and thousands more in taipei to remember those killed. in paris this afternoon, there will be an auction of fifteen rarely seen works by spanish artist salvador dali and finally, staying in france, england's women footballers — the lionesses — will arrive in nice ahead of the world cup which starts on friday.

now it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello, i'm tulsen tollett and this is your tuesday sport briefing where we start with the news that pakistan shocked tournament hosts and favourites england at the cricket world cup on monday. after being thrashed by west indies in their opening game, pakistan responded to win by 14 runs. england's sloppy fielding saw them pay the price as they then failed to chase down a target of 349 what would've been a record run chase in a world cup, eventually running out of overs. we knew if we could score 340 class on this track, it would be a good score to chase on because the pitch was supporting to the seamers and wasn't coming onto the bout. a good pitch but still, something for the

order also and the spinners. — make something for the ball. you believe we had runs in our minds that we wa nted we had runs in our minds that we wanted to achieve. caster semenya will not need to take testosterone—reducing medication to compete after a swiss court temporarily suspended a new iaaf ruling. the 28—year—old south african is the reigning 800m olympic champion and last month lost her challenge to the court of arbitration for sport against the implementation of a restriction on testosterone levels in female runners. the ruling would have affected women competing from 400m up to a distance of a mile which is i600m. novak djokovic got another piece of history at the french open — winning his fourth round match against jan—lennard struff means he's the first player to reach the quarter finals in ten successive grand slam tournaments, and he's still not dropped a set at roland garros. in the women's draw there was a comprehensive win for defending champion simona halep — she goes into the last eight by dropping just one game in a straight sets win against iga swiatek.

different from daily life in which i am hope and i am sure that it will carry us am hope and i am sure that it will carry us towards being even more successful. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me tt and the rest of the team, that is your tuesday sport briefing. many corporate firms around the world enforce strict dress codes but one japanese woman is taking a stand. yumi ishikawa has launched a campaign urging the government to ban companies from forcing women to where high—heel shoes to work. the actress and writer, has handed in a petition signed by nearly 20,000 people. ms ishikawa decided to launch the campaign after being 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. and quite a few of you have been in touch about your views on this story. we asked you whether it was a goodidea story. we asked you whether it was a good idea or not to have a dress code at work. if you pointed out that i wear high heels and also a twitter handle called london programme. i love wearing them but the rest of the day i am in flat shoes and i am not forced to wear anything, i might add. others say that they feel a lot more co mforta ble that they feel a lot more comfortable do not have to wear a shirt and tie, that men are in many cases expected to wear a full suit and that is uncomfortable, especially when it is hot on a hot,

sunny, summer day. thanks for your comments, keep them coming. i will see you in a moment for business briefing. 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. but 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. 00:28:43,222 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 wet, there is — sometimes.
