weeks calling on the generals to hand over power to the transitional government now in april the military overthrew the share after mass protests against his 30 year rule. 6 and let's bring in now to a career joining us from arabic and you were recently actually at the site where the protestors were what do we know about what is happening now actually today morning early in the morning protestors wake up and suddenly the rapid forces entered the city in area using a gun. and they were backed up by soldiers who used to live mission against the protesters the protesters were peacefully according to what one of the protesters told me i have been talking to different people today who were at this it and saying actually they are shocked they're angry and now the city is being under

control of the military and they were forced to leave the city in area. and leave the area. and we have reports actually of casualties also exactly being used by that yes yes yes you know by all reports seems like some pretty extreme measures why are why is the military doing this now this is the question that everyone is being asking this today morning and expression it's the last day of from a gun and to morrow is the big celebration is that ied and protestors are asking why are they doing this. to know there are no clear answers but the military like days ago they asked the protesters to leave the area because they said it should be . causing some security. difficulties for them but the protesters say no we are not leaving this area is the place where we have to be it's our unity it's the play. where we have

a voice where we can be all together and say no to military rule they want to civilian rule and actually when i talked today one of the protesters here told me. to no headquarters this in front of the military headquarters what this it was. but for them starting from what happened today and what the military that. is a city in area they will continue they are no blocking the streets they're also working bridges and they will be all over the country and saying no to the military route because you know it's a turning point today for don either they go the way they want which is a civilian ruling done or after what happened today it might really be ending in a military ruling and that's what the protesters went to the streets months ago because they said it's enough is backed up by the military and now they are saying it's a turning point for us they are angry they are saying we're not going to stop people who were killed today according what these professional association confirm these 2

people who were killed and they said that's the last thing we were expecting to happen so there's a lot of emotions going on just briefly tell us because you know there were protests. happening against this backdrop for weeks now those efforts now dead. according what i would say and analyze i think it's today it's starting again from the beginning because what's happened today shows that the must of the military stayed down full doll and now people are asking we don't trust them anymore to know there was kind of trust but now the trust is gone there is mistrust the protests are saying we have to go our own way and the military is like against us because they used weapons they used gunfire against them and people are dying and that's the limit now for the protesters. back thank you thank you.

let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world israeli security forces have clashed with muslim worshippers at the mosque in jerusalem hundreds of israeli citizens were allowed to access the last compound as the nation marked a gruesome day the anniversary of israel's occupation of the eastern part of the city back in 1967 since an earthquake has struck western indonesia the 6.2 quake rattled a city on the island of sumatra there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage and so far no tsunami warning. search operation has resumed in the past for the rack of the sightseeing boat that sank in the river danube last thursday 7 people died and 21 people are still missing presumed trapped in the boat high water levels and for underwater visibility have so far blocked drivers efforts to reach the vessel but conditions are now improving. and thousands of opposition

charlotte we understand that the president is about to step out of his plane what is on the agenda for his visit. well trump is receiving the full royal treatment basically today you see buckingham palace behind me and he will be greeted by every high ranking member of the royal family at some point today he will spend most of the day with the queen with a luncheon with the 1st lady and after that they will visit westminster abbey and a royal exhibition and then the highlight of today for us president trump is the banquet the dinner tonight american americans from london and and him and the royal family will be joined together he's bringing all of his 4 adult children along so this shows you how important this visit is to him to create some

images of pomp and glamour here in london and those images we have to mention that we're looking at right now these are live images as we wait for the u.s. president to step off of his plane entering the u.k. there tromp visiting united kingdom we have to say charlotte that is currently very much disunited overbroad said prime minister theresa may due to step down over the next few days from the 1st specter of the american side what does he want to get out of this visit what you say. well you absolutely right may is due to step down as conservative leader just after trump is leaving the u.k. and she will step down as prime minister later in the summer when her successor is found so everything the 2 of trump and 2 recent make can discuss tomorrow and they are meeting tomorrow at downing street is basically for her successor to decide but trump has a couple of things on his agenda very high up on his agenda one thing is the u.s.

u.k. trade deal for after breakfast and so far off to the u.k. has left the european union is eager to get a trade deal settles and the other other topic on his agenda is the chinese telecommunication companies who or why that is already banned from the united states he wants to convince to rescind may also ban who will buy from building the next generation network here in the u.k. so these are the 2 main topics the leaders will discuss tomorrow and we have to say the u.s. president his wife malani a trump now exiting air force one waving there the u.s. president touching ground there in the united kingdom for this historic visit and charlotte you know he's stepping onto the tarmac now but we know when once he steps actually onto the streets of london itself he's likely to be encountered by protesters as ok. we're expecting massive protests throughout the

day today later on a backing him palace here and tomorrow then in central london we have already seen that last year in the summer during a working visit when trump was visiting london we're expecting the famous been doing the baby blimp that depicts trump as a baby in diapers to make a return tomorrow in central london so protesters will come from across the country to protest this visit here but we. also hurt from top politicians for example the leader of the opposition party jeremy called and. he will not attend the dinner tonight he will boycott this because he is openly criticizing trump and so are the politicians here with the shadow foreign secretary actually saying she's a labor foreign secretary said a foreign secretary and she was actually saying that trump is a threat to the world order so a very controversial visit here ok and we see the u.s.

president stepping out not only with his wife but also with the u.s. treasury secretary charlotte. perhaps a bit indicative of what the real focus of this trip might be a business. business is of course also on top of the agenda and one thing that is for sure to be discussed also between 2 recently and president tomorrow are maybe more secondary sanctions on iran that has already pushed through and he wants to rally the u.k. behind that but again we have to say we trump is meeting with a lame duck prime minister to resign can't take these decisions anymore it will be for his successor to decide that will be. that might be boris johnson who president trump actually has and over the weekend in an interview he president. boris johnson one of the contenders in the leadership contest to succeed

. u.s. president donald trump his wife from a lot of the triumph as we see there exiting the tarmac arriving in london on this historic visit did up your charlotte potts reporting live thank you. while you're watching the news still to come on our program more turbulence from boeing regulators of the u.s. reveal that it is facing a dues problem involving its grounding of the $737.00 max planes. first here in berlin questions are being asked about whether angle america's coalition government could be on the verge of collapse they come after the leader of her junior coalition partner quit without warning on sunday andrea nala stepped down after her social democrat party's disaster is showing in recent european elections but also after being criticized for her performance as party leader merkel says that she will push ahead with the coalition but others are not so sure

it will survive. after year in the top job with the s.p.d. and to know this as she is standing down because she feels she can't go on. discussions in the parliamentary group and feedback from the party have shown that i no longer have the necessary support to carry out my judi's on monday i will therefore resign as chair of the s.p.d. and on tuesday i will resign as chair of the s.p.d. parliamentary group nala says resignation follows a party's dismal performance in last month's european elections its worst ever showing at the polls there given city vivisected results that we have so far are extremely disappointing for the s.p.d. everyone knows that the surveys regarding our party have not been good in the last . you know our task was to try and work our way out of these poor survey results sadly despite all our work we didn't manage to swing things around what's going on

the list along. the s.p.d. was once a big tent party with years of playing 2nd fiddle in chancellor angela merkel's government have left the social democrats struggling to stay relevant new polling puts the s.p.d. a just 12 percent a distant 3rd behind the greens and conservatives coalition has found it difficult to make headway since its painful formation after the 2017 german election merkel wants to see out her final term until 2021 years. we will continue the government's work with all seriousness and we will above all do so with a great sense of responsibility for. the issues we have to solve our for germany and europe and the rest of the world with this mindset we will continue working the holes that's likely to prove no easy task is specially with both the main parties

seeing their support ebbing away. but in our political correspondent hans brown to a standing by at the s.p.d. headquarters here in berlin where we know that the party's board is meeting right now to discuss who will succeed andrea knowledge but hans i mean really the big question at this hour is will the ground coalition survive. that is the big question indeed and i think it's not possible to answer that at the moment it is certainly in grave danger of collapsing this will not happen today but it is possible that it will happen before the end of the year the factors involved are especially what's going to happen in the social democratic party and all that under the analysis leader has resigned and then alice was in fact the leader who pushed the social democrats into this grand coalition against quite a substantial resistance within her party that has just over 2 years ago when this government was formed and now that she is gone the question is whether this faction

within the social democratic party that pushes for leaving the grand coalition whether they will gain the upper hand we will not see today whether that is the case or not it will develop within the next few weeks or months but it's certainly a situation in which the grand coalition is in grave danger so what is the timeline then han's for seeing a new. party leader selected. well what they are doing at the moment i think although this has not been completely confirmed yet is that they are looking for interim leaders senior leaders of the party scene and senior members of the party that don't have ambitions to himself for those top position they are scheduled to leave the party for an interim period and during this interim period the party will try to kind of find and find its feet again and discuss how the succession can be organized it's likely to take

a few weeks there are obviously. things such as to determine when party congress for instance can be held then we're getting into the. summer holiday period here in germany so at the moment it's very unclear how exactly is going to develop the most likely scenario is going to be that senior leaders will take on interim leadership and after that they will decide how exactly to go forward and kinds given that lack of clarity that you just mentioned how is the atmosphere at the s.p.v. headquarters this morning. i think one has to say that in some sense the the social democrats off to all this almost panic that they've had in the last couple of weeks after the disastrous election results in the european parliamentary elections that they're trying to find their feet there is some sense of i guess you could say depression but also a sense of trying to bring back some sort of calm into the party there's been

a lot of infighting there's been a lot of public criticism especially against andree on dollars on a very personal level as well and they're trying to calm the waves basically trying to find a way forward about the the atmosphere here is really very very. wealthy person i think you should say. at the s.p.d.m. berlin thank you hans. so where does germany where does the s.p.d. go from here for an inside look let's bring it on to a close over leader of the berlin branch of the s.p.d. is youth organization the use thank you so much for joining us this morning was she right to resign i think it was a consequential step off i go to america to really understand that is to resign because the criticism of her was really big in the last weeks and i think even though she offered to have free elections as a parliamentarian group on tuesday i think that would have not silence the voices of criticism but i think also that's a pressure was really really high on her and i was cried unfair actually to blame

her as a person for the results of the european election and she actually said when she you know announced this that the party needs to regain the trust and the respect for one another to be s.p.v. treat its leader badly. i think for some fact is what it was unfair and i think that she suffered from criticism because she was not so popular and she's a character which is not so common in politics because you know sometimes she'd sit she's just really yeah a character you know she does things that are not really common but i think also that politics need some people who are like do unexpected things or have some comments which is i think it's nice to have people like that but i also think that she did do some stakes and i think that we need change in the leadership but just one person is not going to do the deal ultimately it was her who persuaded the

parties to join marable's coalition government last year a very you know we know that your party wanted to enter the opposition for example what happens to the coalition now we really don't know we uses the youth organization we've pushed for the evaluation of the coalition at our party congress in december so i think we need to pull that forward and do that earlier this year actually we need our party congress earlier than december we need to reelect and off the party board and we need that relation of the grand coalition really soon because honestly it's a grand coalition if we look at the polls if you look at the results of your projection is not a grand coalition anymore the people expect us to do more than what we're doing right now and i think it's just we're just not going to be able to fulfill what we need to do with conservatives what happens to the s.p.d. now because i mean your party is bleeding voters not only on the german level but also you know generally speaking on the european level as well and especially to

the green party yes that's true because the climate change is the biggest win in topic at the moment and i think the social democracy was not able to push that topic as much as we would have needed to do that and to also make it a social question to climate change like how we're going to. how are we going to finance and how we're going to do it without losing jobs so what are we going to do with the people who have jobs how do we invest all those questions are on the table in social democracy well we do with doing coalitions of deals with the with the conservatives who do nothing but protect the economy even if we need changes economies so i think they're on the european level on german level we need to do some changes we need to set a new agenda a call for action you have a youth party from the youth organization of the s.p.d. thank you thank you. now airplane manufacturer boeing has admitted that some of its $737.00 planes could have a defective wing part the company has been under intense pressure since $2737.00
