leaders in germany brace for crisis talks as questions are raised to the survival of chancellor angela merkel's government the crisis follows the shock resignation of entre and knowledges the leader of the social democratic coalition partners. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program in sudan an estimated 5 people are reported to have been killed in the capital khartoum as the army moves in to break up a sit in outside of its headquarters but thousands have been protesting there for weeks calling on the generals to hand over power to a transitional government but in april the military overthrew omar al bashir after mass protests against his 30 year war. 6 and let's bring in now a tougher abdul karim who's joining us from d.w. . 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 force has entered the city an area using gun. gases and they were backed up by soldiers who used to launch a 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. 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 right now 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 today morning and expression it's the last

day or from a done and to morrow is the big celebration is that ied and protestors are asking why are they doing this now to know there are no clear answers but the military like days ago they asked the protesters to leave. in area because they said it should be. causing 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 place 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 talk today one of the protesters here told me. to know this 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 not blocking. the streets there was

a broken bridges and this thing will be all over the country and saying no to the military because you know it's a turning point today for sudan either to go the way they want which is a civilian ruling in sudan 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 and 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 protesters there were negotiations 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

mosque of the military down. 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. and let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world in thailand's capital bangkok a fire as ward through a weekend market one of the most popular bazaars in asia a place destroyed hundreds of vendor stalls no injuries have been reported the governor of bangkok speculated that an electrical short circuit caused that fire. israeli security forces have clashed with muslim worshipers at the mosques and 2

let's get more from v.w. correspondent charlotte potts was running us from london so we know that the president has just arrived to charlotte what is on the agenda. president is going to receive the full royal treatment today he shortly shortly ago here arrived in stansted airport he's making his way down now to buckingham palace where he will be greeted by almost every member of the royal family in the course of the day you're going to spend most of the day with the queen herself. on the agenda are a luncheon later on a visit to westminster abbey and they are going to look at a royal exhibition together tonight it's going to be the highlight of this state visit a dinner banquet where american some british are going to be attending and this is most likely going to create some of the glamorous images that trump wants to see and that he is appreciative off as we know trump has brought along all 4 of his

adult children so that is the sign how much he is valuing this royal treatment and state visit here to the u.k. but he's going to be met with quite a bit of protest as. absolutely we are going to see massive protests are tens of thousands of people are due to descend on the capital in the course of today and tomorrow tonight the planning to be here in front of buckingham palace during the dinner banquet that is also held here and tomorrow in central london when and when trump is due to meet with theresa may there so massive protests we've also heard politicians come out against the state visit saying why are we rolling out the red carpet for somebody like us presidents donald trump for example the opposition leader jeremy call been from the labor party he is boycotting that denotes night he is not going there and several others are doing the same charlie

potts in london thank you. here in berlin questions are being asked about whether angela merkel's coalition government could be on the verge of collapse they come after the leader of her junior junior coalition partner quit without warning on sunday andrea nala stepped down after her social democrat party's disaster is showing in the 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 a year in the top job with the s.p.d. and to know this as she's 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 duties 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 the party's dismal performance in last month's european elections its worst ever showing at the polls given city vivisect the 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 . go 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 and stirring the initial test would have on surprise. yes p.d. was once a big tent party but 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 year and 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 songs are 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. let's get more from our political correspondent hans brandt who is standing by at the s.p.d. headquarters here in berlin where the party's board is meeting right now to discuss who will succeed andrea analysis but hans we have to say the big question on everyone's mind at this hour is will the ground coalition survive. well it will survive this day today but how long it will survive after that is really

a very open question every commentator that one can listen to or read today in germany really expects this coalition to crumble at the at the latest by the end of the year the crucial issue there is exactly how the social democratic party is now going to. choose a successor to underway on this and that that requires a party congress such a party congress has originally been scheduled for later in the year it's now likely to be pushed forward in the year possibly during the summer already and once that congress has truth in the new leader the party can decide whether or not it's going to stay in this coalition under or not as was the leader of the party that very much promoted participation in this grand coalition she in a sense pushed her own party into this coalition with her gone all those factions in the party that want to leave the coalition want to be on the want to go into opposition likely to gain the upper hand and it seems very likely that by the end

of the year this coalition will no longer be in existence but in the meantime as we look at the party itself the ask the board has just announced that an interim trio will leave the party tell us a little bit more about this decision and the impact that it might have on the national level. well what the party is trying to do at the moment is simply to kind of find its feet to restore some sense of calm and to then organize the transition through a new leader which as i said requires setting up a cup r.t. congress setting a date for that and so on the 3 people that have now been appointed as caretakers in the mean time 2 of them politicians of seniority within the party but without any further ambitions for the top post in the party that the 3rd one is a woman who is a. leader of the party in one of germany's provinces one of germany's federal states at the moment she might be interested in the top position eventually but of

course at the moment it's just simply an interim an interim position in the meantime the party is trying to simply kind of find its feet and organize this transition in a car as common man as possible hands back at the s.p.v. in berlin thank you. now so it takes a little story and the town of sick to my child in colombia about 170 kilometers north of the capital bogota locals and tourists gathered on a sports fields to fling tomatoes at each other it is called. the event has taken place every year since 2004 at the time of the year when tomatoes are harvest at similar festivals take place in spain and the united states. for commander of the top stories we're following for you here on in sudan around 5 people are reported to have been killed as the army moved into break up the sit in
