hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. a diplomatic row breaks out between china and the uk over britain's support of hong kong's protesters. hands off hong kong, and show respect of what has been achieved in hong kong and one country to systems. the foreign office in london has now summoned the chinese ambassador. an airstrike on a migrant camp in libya kills at least 44 people. the united nations says it's a war crimes and calls for an independent investigation. while questions remain about the process that saw germany's ursula von der leyen put forward to lead the european commission — the european parliament has chosen an italian mep — david sassoli — as its president.
9:01 pm
the semi—finals between netherlands and sweden in the women's world cup has just kicked off — we're live outside the stadium. the netherlands are 0—0 with sweden. a serious diplomatic row is breaking out between china and the uk — and hong kong is at the centre of it. in the last few hours china's ambassador to great britain has issued a stern warning to the uk government about intervening in the territory. hong kong had now returned to embrace the motherland, it's a special administration of china. it's not part of uk. so i weighed called them to say hands off of hong kong, show respect of what has been
9:02 pm
achieved in hong kong and the one country to systems. the chinese are clearly furious about comments like this uk support for hong kong and its freedoms is unwavering. jeremy hunt... hk people must preserve right to peaceful protest exercised within the law". that tweet was posted as were watching pictures like this. protestors stormed hong kong's parliament — and then vandalised it. they even raised the colonial flag which used to fly under british rule. china's ambassador to the uk has been vocal on the issue of hong kong before — but the language today was particularly strong. the uk government chose to stand on the wrong side. it has made inappropriate remarks, not only to
9:03 pm
interfere in eternal affairs in hong kong. but also, to back up a violent lawmaker. well after those comments the chinese ambassador was summoned to the uk's foreign office. we can assume for a frank exchange of views. jeremy hunt has commented again "...good relations between countries are based on mutual respect and honouring the legally binding agreements between them. that is the best way to preserve the great relationship between the uk and china." well our diplomatic correspondent james landale spoke earlier about the significance of today's events. the chinese ambassador is a robust individual, he is a very senior diplomat, he is not a junior diplomat, he is not a junior diplomat he's a senior figure within the system. he is to be the ambassador north korea, so when he speaks, he speaks with full authority of beijing. and, you know, press c0 nfe re nces authority of beijing. and, you know, press conferences at the chinese embassy are rare, few and far
9:04 pm
between, and when they did, they are robust and he made it very, very clear and very uncompromising languagejust how clear and very uncompromising language just how upset the chinese are, and essentially they're pushing back this may be added that the british had any involvement or anything to say about hong kong whatsoever, that's what this dispute really lies. the british believed joint declaration, the international treaty agreed with china, all the way back in 1984 to agree that hand over a 97 still stands. and i did thatjoint over a 97 still stands. and i did that joint declaration over a 97 still stands. and i did thatjoint declaration insuring that hong kong has separate autonomy and has free market and independent judiciary, but it still says the chinese are saying no, the document is historical, it's the chinese who are in charge of their special administrative region. i've been speaking to zhaoyin feng, our correspondent from bbc chinese. i asked how much of a hand beijing had in the ambassador‘s remarks today. i think the ambassador has clearly gotan i think the ambassador has clearly got an order from i think the ambassador has clearly got an orderfrom beijing to i think the ambassador has clearly got an order from beijing to express such a statement. also, is a clear
9:05 pm
response to thejeremy hunt statement, which is coming from the top diplomats at the uk and also who potentially could be the leader of the uk. at the same time i think beijing does understand the uk is undergoing a power transmission, and hong kong situation is also pretty fluid, so we will see if this escalates to higher levels to become a bigger diplomatic row.|j escalates to higher levels to become a bigger diplomatic row. i was interested in the phrase ambassador use, show some respect for progress being made, what does government in beijing to see as its successes and hong kong? i think that beijing government was referring to the hong kong government decision of suspending that very contract that —— controversial extra station and a bell, which was the goal of any protest is doing the demonstration. and obviously some of them are not satisfied with the outcomes that are still protesting and to try to fight
9:06 pm
for a complete withdrawal of the belt. we've covered the conflict in libya a great deal. we've covered the desperate efforts of people to get from libya to europe a great deal. now those two stories have collided with devastating consequences. the un says a war crime may have been committed after at least 44 migrants died at a detention centre outside tripoli. the centre took a direct hit from an airstrike on tuesday night. there were 100s of people inside. most of the those who died are believed to be sub—saharan africans, who were wanting to reach europe. and we know that thousands of migrants are currently held in government detention centres. the un wants that practice to stop. we have to see a change now, there has to be an immediate release of all the detainees from the centre is and we have to make sure that no rescued refuge —— fud on the central
9:07 pm
mediterranean is ta ken rescued refuge —— fud on the central mediterranean is taken back to libya. this from the reuters bureau chief at the un: "secretary—general antonio guterres outraged by air strike in libya. un security council to meet behind closed doors later today". the libyan government's health ministry said of the attack "it was horrible, blood everywhere, the camp was destroyed, people are crying here, there is psychological trauma, the lights cutoff." here's one of the refugees in the camp. this place is dangerous. we did not know it was going to happen like this, we have no power to do anything. said there is people who stand there and are stranded and don't know what to do and don't know where to go. paul adams has more on libya's refugee camps. it's worth remembering that around tripoli, there are about 60 detention centres holding migrants
9:08 pm
from all over the place, west africa sub—saharan africa and many from the horn of africa. we have been hearing about these people for about five yea rs about these people for about five years now since the migrant crisis into europe began, and it's a dreadful indictment of the international community to tackle the question that there are still people huddled in these appalling conditions often being abused by local militias and other groups, and traffickers. and now it turns out on the front line of the civil war. the libyan government blames the warlord khalifa haftar for this attack. he now controls much of eastern and southern libya — seen here in green — and in april, launched an offensive to take tripoli. as with the conflicts in yemen and syria, broader regional tensions are playing out in libya. the uae, egypt and saudi arabia among haftar‘s allies.
9:09 pm
and haftar accuses turkey and qatar of supplying weapons to his rivals. back in 2017, emmanuel macron was the first western leader to invite general haftar to europe for talks. france also launched air strikes in support of his forces in february. general haftar‘s forces had warned of an escalation in airstrikes but deny responsibility for this one, they say it wasn't air strike but a government shell. and all of this multi—faceted insecurity can be traced back to colonel gaddafi being deposed and killed in 2011. here's our middle east editor seb usher — i asked him whether general haftar has the means to have carried out this attack.
9:10 pm
i think the general sense is that it was not done on purpose, what the general and his people and forces had said it is to put the blame on the militias, visa militias at the moment you are backing the government in tripoli, and they have their arms and encampments nearby where the migrants are being kept. now, that is being pretrade by the general‘s forces is using human shields, it could be that the fighting in the past two months has been putting the migrants on the front line adding to the already very serious problems in any case. we spoke for about his efforts to get tripoli where has he got what that? depress the leaks he made progress, but he didn't get into the city, his helper would have been that the militias would have changed sides and he would have been able to come in reasonably without too much bloodshed that's what he was saying he would do and his backers are
9:11 pm
hoping not to, that's what they believed what happened but he got bogged down and hasn't been able to make much progress recently, turkey has come in quite strongly backing government in tripoli, delivering weapons that we had an incident early this week when six turkish shoulders —— sailors were taken captive by the general and his forces and the two massive pressure from turkey and other international governments, they were released quickly. but turkey essentially has managed to get the weapons, which had allowed militias to defend his forces off and at the moment, he's lost momentum, he's actually lost the town which is where his front mind and troops are getting their armaments, and their bases, studies on the back flight. injapan, more than a million people have been ordered to evacuate their homes. heavy rain in the south of the country means there's a risk
9:12 pm
of landslides and flooding on the island kyushu. this gives you an idea of the extent of the rainfall. it began last week and hasn't let up. this shows very quickly why people need to leave. and roads are being badly affected as well. driving conditions are treacherous. roughly half of kyushu is at risk of landslides and heavy rain. already one woman died after a mudslide hit her home. 200 people died last year in western japan in the country's worst flooding in decades. these people had to wait to be rescued on the roof of a house. officials want to avoid a repeat of that this year and here's why. meteorologists say one metre of rain has fallen on kyushu island since last friday and more is expected.
9:13 pm
nick miller has more. it's down to this weather front called than my you find hanging from southern and eastern parts of the area, for several months at this time of year. you see pulses of energy and area blood pressure bringing in rainfalland energy and area blood pressure bringing in rainfall and this time of the analogy get deeper into summer of the analogy get deeper into summer in the oceans are warming, this is enhanced by tropical moisture feeding into this easy bright colour showing where we see particularly heavy rainfall, more is to come in the short term and then another pause at this my you find will run up across the island as a go to friday training quite wet there eastern parts of it but beyond that time frame, it looks as if things are going to turn a little bed drierfor a time things are going to turn a little bed drier for a time anyway. stay with us on outside source — still to come... boeing launches a compensation fund for the families of the victims of the two crashes
9:14 pm
involving its 737 aircraft. the british transport police have been giving more details about their investigation into the deaths of two railway workers — who were hit by a passenger train in south wales this morning. here is superintendent andrew morgan. our units along with colleagues attended the scene and regrettably a short term later it was confirmed a 58—year—old man and a 64—year—old man were pronounced dead on scene by those paramedics. a third person was treated for shot but thankfully not injured. clearly, our thoughts treated for shot but thankfully not injured. clearly, ourthoughts with the families as they come to terms with this tragic news. following a number of other inquiries into the incident, it established the three people were railway workers, and
9:15 pm
working on the lines at that time. initial stages of investigation said just the two men died were wearing ear defenders and tragically could not hear the passenger train approaching. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... a diplomatic row has broken out between china and the uk over britain's support for hong kong's protesters. one person has been killed during a volcanic eruption on the italian island of stromboli. the victim was a tourist walking on the volcano. he was hit by stones thrown out by the eruption. saudi arabia has announced that the american hip—hop star nicki minaj will headline a music festival in jeddah. not an obvious fit if you've seen her in action.
9:16 pm
the kremlin is saying very very little about the fire on a submarine that killed fourteen of its sailors. it says the whole matter is a state secret. the accident happened near the port of severo—morsk in the barents sea. russian media is reporting that that the sub was nuclear powered, though we can't confirm that. we know vladimir putin and his defence minister have met — and this is what the minister is saying. the sailors on board were unique military experts. high quality professionals who carried out important research at the hydrosphere of the earth. seven of the victims were first ranked captains. three second rank captains. three second rank captains. two of them were heroes of russia. all the killed opposites
9:17 pm
where —— will be presented with state awards. the defence ministry will provide their families with necessary help and support. next — this is sarah rainsford in moscow. mr putin had dispatched the defence minister ace to the scene to head up and oversee the investigation and today, from the scene, he gave some of the grim details of what actually happened. he described the crew battled to contain a biter —— of the fire on board the vessel, saying first of all, they let civilian specialist who was on board through a hatch to safety, they then close the hatch closely tightly behind them to stop the flame from spreading and then the 14 crew members who died from that place in his hands as they battled the flames come minister says that they are heroes for managing to contain fire and saving the lives that the other crewmembers who are on board. now with seven high ranking officials on board, you'll understand there's speculation this
9:18 pm
was more than a marine research mission. one report in the russian media suggests the vessel was an as—12 submarine. if it is, we know it's capable of going to extreme depths — something that may allow it to monitor undersea cables — and even cut them. here's vitaliy shevchenko from bbc monitoring on the sub. the axe 12 is an extremely secret project and a source of immense pride for the russians. the pentagon because it a sabotaged vehicle, but for the russians, it's a source of immense pride and super quiet and they say it's the quietest submarine russia has it, which is no small advantage when it comes to submarine warfare, 30 metres long, seven metres wide, 25 people on board, it can go down to depths of six km and supposedly stay there for a year. this particular example, that's the one that was on my day, i took 12
9:19 pm
yea rs one that was on my day, i took 12 years to build. it's so secret that as far as we know, only to photographs of eight actually exist. one of the was taken by the russian edition of the top—tier magazine, by accident. they were doing a photo shoot on the seashore of the mercedes car and suddenly the submarine surfaced, and the published pictures of it without knowing what it was until some military experts that look you do you realise you revealed state secrets. intriguing story and important, how wasn't being covered in russian media? we cannot really rely on the state controlled media to an extent, because what they are getting now is what they were basically set up to do, i:e., report the official line. the day will say that putin said this and defence minister said that, but when we are looking for more details, when we
9:20 pm
looking for more details, when we look for people who are asking difficult questions, we need to look at the more independent parts of the media. for example, today one local website, and the extreme north of russia, it interviewed several poachers who obviously enough refused to give their names, but as far as they note, they're the only source saying this is where the submarine surfaced, were poaching inside come to the surface. other people interviewed relatives, and the victims who died in the fire, and these are the more reliable sources we have, which points to the idea that basically this in fact was a spying submarine that can cut cables. will be live on wall street in a moment to talk about the american deficit. boeing has launched a $100 million compensation fund to help the families of those who died in the two crashes involving
9:21 pm
its 737 max aircraft. in october 189 people died when a lion air flight crashed shortly after take—off from jakarta. a second 737 max crashed in ethiopia in march killing 157 people. that led to the entire global fleet being grounded. the money is intended for education and living expenses. but a lawyer for dozens of the families involved says "boeing does not understand that the families at this point in time are not interested in its money. the fact is that what is foremost on the minds of these families is getting back the human remains from the crash site." let's bring in netta, tell us how they imagine this find working? belling says there is $100 million that will be invested over a number of years, and they are thinking it'll go to local governments and a
9:22 pm
nonprofit organisation to try and help the families of loved ones with living expenses and education because like college or tuition for further education, and that'll go to the economic development of some of the economic development of some of the communities that were impacted, now ina the communities that were impacted, now in a statement, the ceo said that he hubs this is just a small gesture to help give comfort to the families, but as we heard there from what you read from one of the lawyers representing 23 of the families, they are already pouring cold water on this statement and a pledge from boeing basically saying that it's unprecedented so early in the litigation process and i should point out it's completely independent of the losses, that boeing will be offering this kind of money and saying they should put that towards making planes a safer and helping families have closure by getting the remains of loved ones back. speaking of losses, by setting
9:23 pm
up back. speaking of losses, by setting up this find boeing is fully acknowledging its financial responsibility of those who lost their lives, that itself could generate more losses. it interesting because belling has been so criticised for basically trying to say we feel sorry for the families, we do realise mistakes are made but really not pointing out exactly what are wise and instead they had been hiding behind the fact their investigations are still going on, and then he will see this as a further acknowledgement of their responsibility and while they are trying to settle some losses from the first crash in indonesia, they are still negotiating with families from the ethiopian airlines crash, many of whom who hadn't even decided that they want to see yet because again there waiting to see what the investigations turn up. thank you very much indeed. bloomberg tweeted "the us trade deficit widened by more than forecast to a five—month high
9:24 pm
as imports surged the most since 2015, illustrating how trump's trade policies are weighing on the economy". the number was $55.5 billion, that's how much more the us bought from other countries than it sold to them. tell us why the deficit has gotten bigger. we saw the us businesses we re bigger. we saw the us businesses were bringing and a lot more goods into the united states, and a part of that has to do with the fact that there is an uncertain trade environment so lots of us businesses we re environment so lots of us businesses were stockpiling on inventory, and the amount that these businesses we re the amount that these businesses were bringing and really sort of eclipsed the increased amount of exports. and that's why you are seeing this kind of trade deficit increase coming to a five—month high. but is in china promising to
9:25 pm
get more american goods? they are indeed a promising to buy a lot more american goods, and trends of the china us trade negotiations, that really helped us financial markets on this really shortened the day of trading. they both hit record highs, and a part of it has to do with some of the softening of language we are hearing between the two sides and in fa ct we hearing between the two sides and in fact we are hearing from the white house that is going to be phone conversations between chinese and americans in the next three weeks. thank you very much for the update we appreciated. and the second half of the programme we are going to keep you updated with a second semifinal in the lemons well cup and leon, it's another then spread to sweden, keeping an eye on that because whoever winds will play the final. more information and background on the stories they're covering on our website and app. see you in a couple
9:26 pm
minutes. hello there, rainy season injapan isjune and july. we have seen extra extreme rainfall here in the past few days, we'll have a look at that and the rain in india in a moment. first of all, to america and its independence day on thursday in the us, and we had heat and humidity bringing widespread heavy thunder a the east and for the southwest more of a wildfire risk where there is still dry. dry across many parts of brazil, but we had been following this band of rain for the past few days, it's continuing to move north and eventually arriving in rio and dropping temperatures with cool fresh aircoming up from the south and sunshine to. across africa and the south, rain moving away from cape town, seasonal rain migrating towards the gulf of vimy and nigeria and west africa, hopefully useful rain and sub—saharan africa,
9:27 pm
moving north into europe with some heat around but much cooler across northern europe. breezy as well and wet weather for scandinavia heading into baltic states with temperature lower. further south than they seek, if you thunderstorms particularly around alps and temperature is rising again in france. we have high temperatures and lots of rain in india, this is mumbai only around in the week with extraordinary rainfall. it's still raining, a lot of it is heavy, mind you we had seen have year rain more recently blooming through calcutta and into uttar pradesh as well as madhya pradesh. 200 mm of rain in 24 hours. that rain fare, styling really not very farfrom delhi, where the south monsoon has yet to arrive. slightly arriving in mumbai, and they will be more rain although not quite as wet as it has been, but heavy rain into the northeastern areas of bangladesh. myanmar as well, and heavy rain injapan and southwest parts ofjapan, the island in particular leading to scenes like this
9:28 pm
over the past few days. worst affected area is in the southern part of the island, particularly across these areas, where hundreds of people have been warranted to seek shelter, not just because of lighting but also extreme at risk of landslides and you see how much rain has been there in the space of just three days. huge amounts of rain, it's been on that weather front they that's not front that wiggles and wobbles around in the area bringing pots of heavy rain, we are starting to see that rain easing off but later on into the weekend another pulse of heavy rain close to shanghai moving to the east china sea i had heading that way, i of heavy and thunder and showers and other price of china and indochina. down under, sunshine from many areas, rain and western australian moving through, wind off coral sea bringing lots of rain in northern parts of queens land and we see a clearing away from new zealand.
9:29 pm
9:30 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. a diplomatic row breaks out between china and the uk over britain's support for the hong kong protests. hands—off, hong kong. show respect of what has been achieved in hong kong. one country to systems. the foreign office in london has now summoned the chinese ambassador. it is also seen david in italian mep elected as the new president of the european parliament. planning an extravagant celebration that will
9:31 pm
include fighterjets, extravagant celebration that will include fighter jets, tanks extravagant celebration that will include fighterjets, tanks and fireworks. more on that in a moment. the semi—finals between netherlands and sweden in the women's world cup has just kicked off — we're live outside the stadium. at wimbledon, nancy and it grab the headlines, beating venus williams, just one or second round, she beat the slovakian player 6—3, six should be playing number 60 and the next round, that is because madison keys has crashed out in the second
9:32 pm
and will see how she gets on. an extraordinary story. cutting away to the wimbledon draw and fast becoming the wimbledon draw and fast becoming the story of the tournament. more on that of the bbc website. yesterday we got the nomination forfour top jobs at the eu. today, we got the new president of the european parliament. david sassoli is an italian mep. a social democrat, and a former journalist who entered politics a decade ago. this was the announcement earlier. mr sassoli secured a majority in the second round of voting in strasbourg. david sassoli is a former tv journalist — he's known in italy — far less outside. according to politico, his election was unexpected. some senior eu figures had suggested another centre left option in swipe centre left option the bulgarian sergei stanishev.
9:33 pm
but no. and so italy keeps one of the mainjobs. mr sassoli's predecssor was the italian antonio tajani. well the new man hit the ground running — and has already held his first news conference. translation: the elections showed that citizens believe in the european union, that they believe in democracy. and it's an unusual change. because, as you know, in recent months, many, many forces have been betting on the weakening of the union. today, however, we are stronger with the consent of the citizens, thanks to the consent of the citizens. ursula fon der lion's nomination was announced after weeks of closed door meetings.
9:34 pm
currently the german defence minister, but she needs the backing of mvps. she headed straight to strassburg to make your case, created by journalist strassburg to make your case, created byjournalist but initially said nothing to the media. but met with centre—right allies and also met with centreleft and liberal blocks, both of which are unimpressed by her selection. one of the favourites to take over, but the only person who got the nomination for the gig. after those meetings, we got a clear indication of why she headed to strassburg. i feel very honoured to be nominated by the council. when i heard about it yesterday, i thought that my very
9:35 pm
first stop will be here to meet the european parliament and to go immediately into talks with the parliamentarians because here in the european parliament, it is where the heart of democracy of the european democracies beating. i intend to listen a lot so that within the next fortnight, and able to develop the dialogue with the council and the parliament. a vision for the next five years for europe, for the commission that is based on an intensive corporation between the european commission and the european council. her nomination was announced not because of the situation in the parliament to because of weeks of closed—door meetings between european leaders and the nomination surprised just about everyone.
9:36 pm
in this analysis, damien mcguinness says many germans are baffled and are questioning the nomination process. bear in mind ms von der leyen's name didn't appear once one of the favourites to take over, but the only person who got the nomination for the gig. during the process — including in this tv debate between candidates proposed by the blocs in the european parliament. that's right — there was a process which was completely ignored in the end. ursula fon der lion is from angela merkel‘s cdu party. in germany it is in coalition with the social democrats. they're calling the nominaiton "absurd". the green party in germany calls it "backroom stitch—up". it's also threatening to get its meps to vote against the nomination. martin schulz, former leader of the social democrats, former parliamentary president was scathing. von der leyen is our weakest minister. that's apparently enough to become commission
9:37 pm
president. interestingly, ursula von der leyen chose today to send her first tweet. "hallo europa! hello europe! but she's going to need more than multi—lingual hellos to win over the doubters. here's adam fleming. the people were sounding off now is it sour grapes because their person from the political argument didn't get thejob? from the political argument didn't get the job? or from the political argument didn't get thejob? or is it that from the political argument didn't get the job? or is it that the green score a bit more concerned about the lack of transparency of how she was elected. i suppose they will roll in behind her, especially because lots of the political groups he the european parliament are negotiating a joint programme for the next five yea rs a joint programme for the next five years that they will present to her andi years that they will present to her and i think if she says that she will sign up to that programme, then she will probably be able to get everyone's vote. so this could be a bit of shadow—boxing in a bit of sour grapes and when it comes to it, they will vote for her. but who knows, the european parliament is a much more unpredictable place than
9:38 pm
it was in the past as a result of the european parliament elections which solve the centre—right in the ce ntreleft which solve the centre—right in the centreleft which had a huge stranglehold on this place, lose their combined majority which means their combined majority which means the other parties of a lot more influence. so it is worth watching what happens here. more attention than normal on howjuly the 4th, independence day, will be marked in america. donald trump's doing it a little differently — tanks are going to be part of parade in washington. here's the president. a salute to america. i'm going to say a few words were going to have planes go overhead and fighterjets and other things as well. some tanks stationed outside and we have to be careful with the tanks because the roads may not handle them very well, we have brand—new tanks.
9:39 pm
but not everyone in america is happy. here's just a sample of the outrage. the retired major general william l. nash told politco "the president is using the armed forces in a political ploy for his reelection campaign and i think it's absolutely obscene." the new york times wrote a stinging editorial "in hijacking america's birthday party, mr.trump is doing is doing more than merely indulging his petty narcissism. he is trampling a longstanding tradition of keeping these events nonpartisan." senior democrats in congress have also raised concerns about the money being spent. they say they still haven't been told how much it will all cost. the local district of colombia council is also opposed. it's worried about the potential damage the tanks could do to the roads. it tweeted this "we have said it before, and we'll say it again: tanks, but no tanks." in the past us presidents have been more likely to spend the fourth ofjuly overseeing naturalisation ceremonies than military parades, but two years ago donald trump went
9:40 pm
to paris on bastille day. here are some pictures from then. you can see tanks rolling down the champs elysee while president trump watched on alongside emmanuel macron. donald trump said it was the best parade he'd ever seen and wanted the same thing for america. it's taken two years, but the tanks are now in washington. here's our correspondent chris buckler next to one of them. he is promising tanks and flyovers, this will be a show of military might as well as a thank you to america bus bus trips. although some are said to be a little concerned that this could become political. the armed forces want to stay away from that, but ultimately, it is up to the president. read at the centre of the events, he would deliver an address in front of the iconic
9:41 pm
lincoln memorial. lighthouse officials saying that it will not be political and that it will not be, it will be a celebration of service if he sticks to the script, sometimes he doesn't and it is worth pointing out that some of the best seats here have been reserved for republican party supporters and donors. democrats say they have not been given any tickets. our north america reporter anthony zurcher is also in washington. here he is onjust how big this event will be. notjust tanks, not just tanks, and notjust tanks, and airshow as well, they're going to put on a show, a flyover from air force one to 747. this is kind of shoehorned into the typical celebrations in washington, dc on the 4th ofjuly. a parade earlier with military bands, they'll be making another appearance at his festivities in the evening and there isa festivities in the evening and there
9:42 pm
is a musical show tunes performance in front of the capital that is an annual thing that culminates with the fireworks. this year will be the normal fireworks i'll be the fireworks. this year will be the normalfireworks i'll be moving farther south and donald trumpsparse fireworks that are going to happen right of the lincoln memorial. all of these have been staged late and we do not have all the details, but thatis we do not have all the details, but that is the is looking right now. and bringing out tanks is inherently a political act exactly how? some say it does not have anything to do with it. a lot of it has to do with tradition here in the united states, we do not have much of a tradition of military parades featuring hardware that is kind of associated with something that they used to do in the soviet union, parading their missiles and tanks and in north korea, the parades in the 4th of july parades here are usually much more community. and although we did have some comments after the gulf war that featured some tanks and thatis war that featured some tanks and that is how the streets are being torn up here in washington, dc. parades after world war ii, but they
9:43 pm
