system. if you can get two-hour services and polygamy, you can accept the lgbtq plus community for who they are. it's the right thing to do because people's lives depend on it. don't listen to me, listen to one of your own when he says. >> i have a sneaky suspicion that god believes in love. in just a couple of hours, president trump will arrive in london for his first state visit to the uk where we expect plenty of pomp and protests. more trouble for boeing. the aircraft maker finds yet another problem on some planes that are already grounded. plus this -- >> there was absolutely no sign. even when i talked to him just before it happened, there was no sign. >> co-workers of the virginia beach gunman remain in shock. they say the shooter was not someone they would ever expect to be violent. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and, of course, from all around the world.

i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm george howell from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. newsro "newsroom" starts right now. and in just a couple of hours' time, the u.s. president will arrive in the united kingdom for a state visit with the prime minister who has tried to arrange that for two years now. before leaving, president trump offered his take on british politics. in newspaper interviews, he advocated that britain take a tougher stand on brexit and praised some possible successors to be prime minister. he said the former london mayor, boris johnson, is an excellent contender. >> well, i may meet with him. he's been a friend of mine. he's been very nice. i have a very good relationship with him. i have a very good relationship with nigel farage, with many people over there, and we'll see what happens, but i may meet with him. >> well, mr. trump's first day in london is packed with

ceremonial events, a private lunch with the queen, tea with prince charles and finally a state banquet at buckingham palace. he will meet with mrs. may and business leaders tuesday. >> that's right. and as with his last visit, not everyone will welcome the president with open arms. large protests are expected and london's current man, a frequent critic of president trump, calls the him one of the most egregious examples of a global growing threat. >> i don't think we should be rolling out the red carpet. i don't think this should be a state visit. why do i say that? i think a close ally is akin to a best friend. the thing with a best friend is, of course, you stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them at times of adversity, but you've got to call them out when you think they're wrong. there are so many things about president donald trump's policies that are the antithesis of our values in london, but also our values as a country.

>> and let's go live to london. our international diplomatic editor nic robertson is live at buckingham palace. good to have you with us, nic. mr. trump arrives to a city whose mayor has roundly denounced him, sadiq khan. there are also those who support him and his views on brexit like nigel farage and boris johnson who mr. trump says would be a good replacement for prime minister. >> reporter: yeah, president trump has sort of reprised comments that he made when he came here last year, saying that boris johnson would be a good prime minister and that theresa may wasn't doing a good job of handling the brexit negotiations with the european union, that she should have been tougher. he's saying all of that again this time. last time he sort of made up with theresa may the following day after the newspaper comments appeared in print. when he meets her here tuesday, i think we can probably expect the same thing. he seems to have been a little

bit kind tore thereer to theres. calling the mayor sadiq khan like mayor de blasio. no friend of president trump. he will not expect to meet, either, the leader of the party that sadiq khan is a member of, the labor party, the own suspicion party, jeremy corbyn will not be attending that state dinner, but president trump hopes to be among friends. he has indicated there, as we just heard, that he might meet with boris johnson, the former foreign secretary, former mayor of london, who is the bookies' favorite at the moment to be prime minister. still a long way before he pulls that off. something that surprised a lot of people here in the comments from president trump over the last couple of days that nigel farage, the leader of the brexit party, is on a political resurgence at the moment, should be brought into the negotiations with the european union. all of these types of comments

creating waves. we've seen it here before. and the president will find people here applauding him and he will find many who are doing quite the opposite. >> it is interesting, nic. just very quickly for our viewers in the u.s. and around the world, to make the distinction here. so president trump has been there before in london, in the united kingdom, but this is a state visit. explain the difference here. >> reporter: well, theresa may was the first foreign leader to go to washington right after president trump was inaugurated. and when she did that, she made the offer of a state visit. it was expected to happen last year. a state visit implies the full pomp and circumstance that i think everyone is pretty much away that president trump wants. last year the visit was a visit, a working visit. he met with the prime minister, of course, and he did meet with the queen, but it wasn't the full state banquet. so this really bequeaths to the

president of the united states the full honors and respect from the united kingdom, and it is really, you know, something that speaks to the special relationship, it speaks to britain's desire, at least under this current government, to have a better trading relationship with the united states once it leaves the european union. so when he meets with the queen, he will have that tea with her today and she will get shown around parts of buckingham palace. see some of the gifts that the queen's been given over her many years as queen, and then he will go to clarence house and meet with prince charles and camila. and this will be, again, before the state dinner, but a real indication that the red carpet being thoroughly rolled out. he didn't get this last time. this is a much bigger, grander affair. >> all right. and the president due to arrive shortly. we'll, of course, continue to monitor and bring it to you live here on cnn. our international diplomatic

editor nic robertson on the story in london. the best person to have on it. nic, thanks. we'll stay in touch. well, cnn political analyst joins us now from london. thank you so much for talking with us. so in less than two hours from now, president trump arrives in the uk, and apart from meeting with the queen and prince charles, mr. trump will also meet with outgoing prime minister theresa may, but how is that likely to go, given mr. trump has already weighed into british politics, supporting her likely successor, boris johnson, something he has done before? >> yeah, typically in a meeting like this, you would expect there to be a lot of policy discussion between the head of the united states and the head of the uk, but the president is really much more focused on the politics, the internal politics in the uk to try to figure out who is going to succeed theresa may, who is going to be his counterpart in future negotiations, so we've already seen the president insulting the mayor of london, insulting a member of the royal family in meghan markle, and you have seen

the president make comments about theresa may in the past in saying that she bungled the entire brexit negotiation. so eye wouldn't expect this meeting to go all that smoothly, in part because president trump is so much focused on the politics that are roiling the country right now and not necessarily focused on the types of policy discussions that you would normally expect on things like cyber security with huawei or the iran situation with the break between the u.s. and the uk on how to deal with iran and trade. a lot of those discussions are going to be postponed until the uk decides who will be the next prime minister, and president trump wants to have a say in that process. >> right. he's already said how britain should deal with brexit as well, hasn't he? so what's mr. trump expecting to achieve on this state visit, given mrs. may is on her way out and how significant is this trip for him and for the uk? >> this is a trip that president trump is going on in part

because it has all of the pomp and circumstance of a state visit. the president has long wanted to engage in a lot of that pomp and circumstance. meeting the queen. he's bringing a lot of his own personal family members here. so i would not expect a lot of policy discussions, but i do think the president wants to show where his support is in this ongoing political fight here in the uk. he wants to show that he supports boris johnson, that he has a lot of support for nigel farage and that he is broadly in support of the type of populist figures that we've seen on the rise in europe. president trump wants to show very clearly that he is on their side. he backs his america first policy and he backs those in europe that are pursuing similar policies across the region. i think he's looking past theresa may, not really looking for any type of negotiation that he can do with her. he's trying to find out how he can influence the politics here internally and figure out whether or not he can be part of a global movement of populism spreading not only in the u.s. but also across europe. >> right. and you mentioned london mayor's sadiq khan, who will not be

meeting with the u.s. president. he had some harsh words for mr. trump ahead of his state visit, calling him a global threat in an explosive newspaper article that also said mr. trump's behavior flies in the face of the ideals america was founded upon, equality, liberty and religious freedom. how are those comments playing out in britain right now? >> yeah, those comments were pretty harsh towards the president, and president trump is not known as someone to take comments like that laying down. he hit back already. you might expect him to continue to do so during press conferences and when he lands here and has many opportunities to speaker to the press, but i think there are a number of people that agree, and that's why you're starting to see protests form against president trump's visit. there are a lot of people here in london and a lot of people across the uk who believe that president trump is supporting the type of politics that leads to more division and leads to more dissension within the country and they're looking to protest that and looking to make

sure they know that president trump is not popular here in the uk. he's not popular in many parts of europe. and they're not going to allow him to have sort of a smooth rolling out of red carpet without letting their feelings be known, and i think the mayor of london is leading that charge in showing that even though president trump is come for a state visit, he's not going to have all the bells and whistles and support from the people of london and from a lot of people within the uk. >> yeah, and we'll be watching to see how big those protests are. thank you so much for chatting with us. appreciate it. and we're tracking breaking news out of sudan. a violent crackdown that's playing out in the capital city of khartoum. security forces have reportedly used live ammunition to break up a sit-in outside the defense ministry. a group of opposition doctors say at least two protesters have been killed. several others wounded.

>> video also has emerged of protesters burning tires. a witness tells cnn par paramilitaries laid siege to the protest. the witness is calling it a massacre. the issue of trade and tariffs. it's not an understatement to say that the u.s. and mexican presidents have very different approaches to diplomacy. >> yeah. u.s. president donald trump says punishing tariffs will go into effect next week if mexico does not stop the flow of immigrants into the united states. in a tweet he called mexico an abuser that's always taking but never giving. on sunday, he was asked what mexico must do to avoid those tariffs. >> they have to stop the illegal flow, the flow of drugs, immigrants, illegal immigrants, people who have not gone through the process. we have people -- we want people to come in to our country, but

they have to come in legally. >> mr. trump's acting chief of staff says even if those tariffs are implemented they won't affect u.s. consumers. that's what he says. listen. >> he's absolutely deadly serious. in fact, i fully expect these tariffs to go on to at least the 5% level on june 10th. the president is deadly serious about fixing the situation at the southern border. that's the economic orthodoxy that when tariffs go up, consumer prices go up, but the proof is in the pudding, there is no inflation, prices have not gone up. we're putting tariffs on china, we're putting tariffs on mexico and inflation is still under control. that's because of that old fashioned economic orthodoxy doesn't work when it's relatively easy to substitute other goods. >> all right. a different expect, a different view from a top u.s. business group. the u.s. chamber of commerce disagree saying imposing tariffs on goods from mexico is exactly the wrong move. these tariffs will be paid by american families and businesses

without doing a thing to solve the very real problem at the border. >> mexico's president is taking a more diplomatic tone. >> he's sending mexico's secretary of the economy and secretary of foreign affairs to washington, d.c. to meet with their counterparts this week. >> patrick oppmann has the details from mexico city. >> reporter: donald trump said that mexican government officials are "abusers and that mexicans have only offered talk and no action" as the u.s. and mexico to square off over trade and immigration. trump has vowed to begin placing tariffs up to 25% tariffs on mexican products sold in the u.s., which would have a major impact on mexico. the u.s. is mexico's largest trading partner, and despite the tough talk from trump, mexican government officials have taken a very different tact. mexican president andres manuel

lopez says that he is friends with president trump. dialogue is the key to resolving this issue. he sent a delegation of mexican officials including several cabinet secretaries to washington, and starting on monday they'll begin a series of high-level talks to try and figure out a path forward. trump says, though, that the only way for mexico to not begin suffering the immediate impacts of these tariffs is to crack down on immigration, but the majority of the immigrants coming through mexico, coming from central america, countries like guatemala, honduras, el salvador, it's a very porous border, and even though mexican officials said they were doing much more, that they are deporting the immigrants that they arrest, the illegal immigrants that enter into mexico or offering others asylum and jobs and educational opportunities here. there are just too many people coming towards the united states. it's really the situation in these countries that is to blame and not so much mexico. but president trump has been very, very clear, saying it's mexico's job to deal with this

crisis. that they're seeing hundreds of immigrants showing up every day with the u.s.-mexico border and that mexico needs to fix this very quickly or else. patrick oppmann, cnn, mexico city. >> patrick, thank you. now to the war of words between the u.s. and iran. iran's foreign ministry is accusing the u.s. of playing with words and says it must change its approach before iran will consider a meeting with the united states. >> on sunday the top u.s. diplomat offered once again to hold talks, but seemed to contradict himself about whether there would be preconditions. here was mike pompeo in switzerland. >> we're certainly prepared to have that conversation when the iranians conclude that they want to behave like a normal nation. prepared to engage a conversation with no preconditions. we're ready to sit down with them. but the american effort to fundamentally reverse the malign activity of this islamic

republic, this revolutionary force, is going to continue. >> pompeo also said the united states was watching to see if iran complied with the iran nuclear deal. the u.s. has withdrawn from that deal. and coming up next here on "cnn newsroom," the growing crisis for boeing. yet another problem is found on some of the planes that are already grounded. we'll have that when we return. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist.

boeing faces yet another problem as it tries to get its grounded 737 max fleet back into the air. the company now says some of its 37s, including many of the max planes, may have faulty parts on their wings that could fail prematurely or crack. >> and here is a look at that part. it's known as a leading edge splat track. u.s. aviation officials say a plane could be damaged in flight if it failed. airlines have been ordered to inspect and repair it within ten days. >> you'll remember the 737 max, it was grounded worldwide after two deadly crashes in less than five months' time. let's talk about all of this now with jeffrey thomas.

jeffrey the editor-in-chief of airlinerating.com, a website that reviews airline safety joining from perth, australia. good to have you. >> good evening, george. >> jeffrey, look, given the track record of boeing, this plane maker, obviously it's disturbing news for many to hear this. how do you feel about how boeing and how the faa are handling this situation? >> look, certainly it's another black eye for boeing at the moment and it's not a good look. that's absolutely understandable from the traveling public's point of view. however, in fact, boeing advised the faa of the problem. it wasn't as though another airline discovered the problem or the faa, boeing discovered the problem. they immediately advised the faa and their airline customers about the issue, which was -- which is a part from one of their supply chains. and they are in the process of fixing it. now, this is -- this has been handled by what's called a service bulletin.

these service bulletins are, in fact, quite common. there is a continual process in the industry of check, cross check and recheck, and obviously as aircraft get older, you know, there are all sorts of operational issues develop, part issues develop, possibly early fatigue on some parts, and so there is a continual check, cross-check going on. all manufacturers, airbus including and boeing are continually talking with their customers, issuing service bulletins to check various things on their aircraft. sometimes when they're very serious, the regulators then call for an air worthiness directive and it has to be done directly. this particular one has to be done within ten days. it is serious, but, you know, obviously boeing are right on to it and their customers are on to it as well. >> all right. for the flying public, you hear news like this. the question, how important is

this particular part to this plane in flight? >> look, it's part of the flat track system for takeoff and landing. and the faa has said that it could not cause the loss of the airplane. it certainly could cause some damage if it came away. we haven't actually had any incidents related to it. i mean, it was discovered by a production line worker who said this part doesn't seem quite right. let's check this. and it was discovered. one of the things in the industry also that the public's probably not aware of is that they can trace every single part on an airplane right back to the raw material from which it was made. the batch of raw material. so if there is a problem, they can quickly identify that we know that 25 or 400 ship sets of this particular part are faulty and we know exactly which airplanes they've gone on to, and precisely where on that

airplane they've gone on to. so it's a very, very robust system that is giving us this wonderful safety record that we enjoy in aviation. and so the system is working. >> keeping in mind, though, this means that airlines that use these planes that have been affected, these airlines will have to cancel thousands of flights during the summer travel season. so surely this will come as a major disruption for air carriers. >> well, look, it may appear as that is the case, george, but, in fact, my understanding and in the intro the faa said that airlines have got ten days to rectify the issue. so this -- these sorts of changes and rectification can be done overnight. and that's typically what happens, is the regulator will give airlines a certain period of time in which to change the part out, unless it's in their

view a dire emergency, in which case they'll ground the airplane, of course, as we know. they've done that from time to time depending on the seriousness of the issue. so my understanding is this will not be too much of a disruption, given the fact also that the max aircraft, a lot of them are grounded -- they're all grounded anyway. and this particular part is only on a few of the 737 ngs which are still in service. >> that's good to know. just to get a sense of how quickly this could be repaired. jeffrey thomas, thank you again for taking time with us. we'll stay in touch with you. well, the u.s. state department is requiring a new piece of information from most visa applicants, their social media accounts. >> that's right. the order originally, rather, came from president trump in 2017. this as part of enhanced investigate for thovetting for those coming to the united states from muslim majority

countries. privacy advocates say it infringes on the rights of citizens. well, he once was lost, but now apparent he is found. details about the purported disappearance of north korea's chief envoy. that's coming up. plus, shock and confusion at the friday's mass shooting in virginia where many of the gunman's longtime colleagues say there were no signs that he would do something like this. we'll have an update haeahead f you. t all about.♪ ♪you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around.♪ ♪that's what it's all about. ♪you put your whole self in, you put your whole self out,♪ ♪you put your whole self in, and you shake it all about.♪ ♪you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around.♪ ♪that's what it's all about. ♪that's what it's all about.♪ ♪that's what it's all about.♪

>> and i'm rosemary church. want to check the headlines for you now. u.s. president donald trump is expected to arrive in the united kingdom about 90 minutes from now for a three-day state visit. before he left washington, he broke with from by weighing in on british politics. mr. trump suggested outgoing prime minister theresa may should refuse to pay the divorce payment to the eu and he said boris johnson would be an excellent successor to mrs. may. iran's foreign ministry says the united states is playing with words and must change its approach. this comes after remarks by the u.s. secretary of state in switzerland, mike pompeo, saying the u.s. is ready to talk with iran with no preconditions. however, he did say the iranians have to "want to behave like a normal nation." the white house is losing its chief economist. president trump says kevin ha hassert will be stepping down.

hassert tells cnn that he was not asked to leave and that it's good for the council to bring in new people and fresh ideas. in sudan, security forces have reportedly launched a violent crackdown to break up a sit-in outside the defense ministry in khartoum. and the video you see here appears to show chaos, people running in the streets during gunshots. opposition doctors say at least two protesters have been killed and several others wounded. several witnesses calling it a massacre. let's bring in cnn's david mackenzie. we've seen protesters locked in against these military groups trying to demand that power be turned over to civilians. what are we seeing at this point? >> well, this is an early morning raid, it appears, by the transitional military council, some aspects of the security forces. there have been protesters sitting in or camping out at the

ministry of defense for quite some time now. they had been warned by the transitional military council that it was a "danger to the people to be there," but though they had promised not to have this violent crackdown on the protesters, it seems they moved in. the british ambassador recently tweeting that he was very extremely concerned by the heavy gunfire that he had been hearing from even his residence. now, you saw those social media and other videos circulating of the protesters running away in panic. it appears at this stage that live ammunition could have been used on two groups, both the group -- the umbrella group and the doctors saying there are severe injuries and deaths in this crackdown. it really leads to the question, will they be continuing these talks between these protest groups and the military council given the fact that there's now

blood on the streets after the euphoria of getting rid of omar al-bashir, the dictator, that they managed to unseat in april. george? >> david, again, just the context for viewers around the world. these protesters are demanding that they be able to take control. >> well, that's right. the transitional military council has proposed this kind of sovereign ruling power-sharing in the next few years, but the -- there is intense disagreement between the military rulers and the civilian protesters about how that council should be comprised. now they, the protesters, it appears today are bearing the brunt of violent force. they say they want a limited military presence. the military council wants a lot more say in the ruling of the country of sudan. so this will be an extremely

difficult moment for the protest movement. i am sure that they'll be calling for further protests because of the alleged loss of life today in khartoum, but there is now this dangerous impasse with the military, it seems, eventually now cracking down on the protesters. perhaps the way that they have been tolerating these sit-ins in front of the ministry of defense has now obviously ran out. where we go from him will be difficult to say at this point. george? >> all right. david mckenzie on the phone with us from johannesburg. he's images you see from khartoum, again, people running in the street amid gunshots. security forces cracking down there and we'll continue to follow the story. reports that north korea's chief envoy has disappeared may have been greatly exaggerated. >> state media report kim

yong-chol attended an art formance sunday with leader kim jong-un and other high-ranking officials. the state newspaper even published this photograph with what appears to be the envoy sitting just a few seats away from kim. cnn has not authenticated it and you do notice that his hands are partially covering his face while everyone else is applauding. a south korean newspaper reported kim yong-chol had been sent to a hard labor camp for his part in the failed hanoi summit with u.s. president trump. so let's turn to our paula hancocks. she joins us live from seoul with a closer look at all of this. so, paula, what are we to make of this apparent public appearance of north korea's chief envoy, kim yong-chol, after stories of his mi disappearance, particularly when you look at that photo, it's taken from a long ways away and his hands are covering his face.

>> rosemary, he is named in the kcna article as well. north korean state media named him saying he was at that art performance alongside the leader kim jong-un over the weekend. what this shows is a report of a north korean official who has allegedly has been purged and then he shows up shortly afterwards. it's not the first time that this has happened and it's very unlikely to be the last time that this will happen. this is kim yong-chol. he is -- was the right-hand man to kim jong-un. he went to washington. he met with the u.s. president donald trump last year. he was the one that presented that rather large envelope to the u.s. president with a message from kim jong-un. he went again in january of this year. he was really pivotal before the hanoi summit. now, since the hanoi summit, it does appear since there was no agreement between u.s. president donald trump and kim jong-un, it does appear that he has been sidelined. and as have others within the --

that negotiation team. it appears that the foreign ministry is now taking the lead. but this south korean media quoting just one unidentified source also alleging that kim yong-chol has also been executed. he hasn't been seen since the summit, but there is no evidence that that is accurate either. we know that u.s. officials have been asked about this, including u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo, saying that they are looking into it but they don't have any independent intelligence on this at this point, according to a senior diplomatic official. rosemary? >> all right. we'll certainly continue to follow this story and keep a very close eye on this. paula hancocks joining us live from there in seoul, south korea. many thanks, as always. now, in virginia beach, virginia, 12 days after people were killed in the latest workplace shooting in the u.s., the gunman's colleagues, they remain in shock. >> many of them say the shooter was not someone they would expect to be violent.

they remember him as a nice person before friday's rampage in virginia. >> dewayne was a very nice person. he was quiet. he was nonassuming. he was pleasant to be around. and when i last saw him, which was just before this incident happened, he wished me to have a good weekend. the whole department up there is very close. we have a lot of celebrations together and we all celebrate victories for each other. there was absolutely no sign, even when i talked to him just before it happened, there was no sign that this was going to happen. >> the gunman was a 40-year-old city engineer. he targeted his longtime colleagues before being killed in a shootout with police. well, investigators are trying to find out all they can about the gunman, why he did this. our miguel marquez has the story. >> reporter: what may be most disturbing about this situation

is that we don't understand yet what the motive was or is. we know that he tendered his resignation by email the morning that this horrific shooting took place. that the city manager saying that he was in good standing with his department, that there were no disciplinary actions pending against him, that there was no sign of this. friends, colleagues, everyone that cnn has spoken to, every account that i've seen from other reporters was that he was a quiet, unassuming, nice guy, and now a growing memorial. one of the couple around town that is just growing bigger and bigger. people remain in the hospital critically injured from this shooting. the police chief went into more detail about what happened when the detectives who heard about this went in to confront him. >> as this -- the suspect was firing, he was moving.

they were returning fire and at one point the suspect was firing through the door and through the wall at the officers. and then the firing stopped. they eventually breached the door, and when they breached the door, the suspect was then alive and was taken into custody and first aid was immediately rendered to him. >> reporter: this memorial has been growing now for some time. there are now 12 crosses. the names of each of the victims, their pictures and people are signing the crosses. people coming here for a little bit of connection, essential, dropping off flowers, taking a knee, saying a prayer and hoping that this community can get beyond this. virginia beach, virginia now on the grim list of u.s. cities that have suffered this sort of violence. >> miguel marquez there in virginia beach, virginia. rescuers are desperate to find signs of life on one of india's highest peaks. we'll have the latest on the race to save eight mountaineres

ahead. stay with us.

in the indian himalayas, a helicopter searching for eight hikers has spotted a backpack near the scene of an avalanche. buried in that avalanche, meaning the hikers' chance of survival is, "almost zero now." part of a 12-person expedition on one of india's highest mountains. >> four britains, two americans, an australian and an indian. they were reported missing after only four of their group made it back to base camp more than a week ago. those four team members were taken off the mountain. officials say they have been given medical exams to make sure they are healthy. and for the very latest, we turn now to cnn's nikhil kumar who is live for us from new delhi. nikhil, news of this avalanche and the backpacks being spotted,

of course, it's devastating. what all are authorities saying about this? >> that's exactly right, rosemary, it is very devastating news. this morning, monday morning local time is when a helicopter went up. this is after two helicopters going up on sunday doing ariel service around the mountain. they were trying to spot these climbers. the helicopter that went up this morning had spotted, as you said earlier, a backpack buried in the snow. an official on the ground tells us that they believe that that backpack along with other equipment and possibly these climbers were buried in this avalanche that hit the area. he described it as "a huge avalanche." this was at an elevation of about 5,000 meters and it was at an unnamed peak next to the main mountain there, which is where the basecamp is. so officials are now saying that the chances of survival are close to zero after this -- the backpack was spotted. what they're now doing is that
