american's government on the verge of collapse and german politics is plunged into uncertainty after the shock resignation of nona's the leader of a social democratic coalition octets. blocks revisit the city dump the most cycle friendly in the wild what does few tricks in the netherlands have going for it. hello and welcome i'm a touchy in sudan at least 13 people are reported to have been killed in the capital khartoum as the army moved in to break up a sit in outside its headquarters thousands have been protesting there for weeks calling on the generals to hand over power to a transitional government in april the military overthrew president bashir after mass protests against his 30. room. for the very latest
1:02 pm
on sudan i'm joined by one of the what they got from the international crisis group in nairobi welcome to you know what see your assessment of the situation in sudan is the military's action a serious escalation i think this is a very significant escalation which i fortunately has been coming for a couple of weeks what we see is that the situation in sudan was not at all resolved by the fall of omar al bashir what happened was that the good of the regime was replaced but the region remains firmly in place and unfortunately these remain very unwilling to give to the demands of the protesters and i love this experience of take control of the government this is a very grievous coalition it calls for suit intervention but unfortunately we don't really see things improving that divorce a military council
1:03 pm
a transitional minute military council which was set up which was negotiating with the leaders of the protesters but those negotiations have failed to make any progress how do you see the way forward is some sort of mediation to what perhaps by regional powers. i think the perception among this of the. demonstrators has been that the military essentially has been playing for time they've been dragging out the talks they've been very and yielding one of the key issues particularly the composition of the transitional council that is supposed to take and certainly this is an occasion where you need multilateral organizations such as the african union the united nations and other partners such as the european union that influence to be in it specially to lean on the military leaders who seem inclined essentially to lead the country down on the part of the contrary
1:04 pm
but we should marry a government such as the one that you have now in cairo this is the african union and the peace and security council and others need to step in tell the leaders formally that they that a military coup is not to live of way to run a country but it wasn't political in what is needed now is ever put into calls for restraint and talk firing on the protesters themselves what you are saying today and i think that is what is saying that this is a similar pattern that we saw in the so-called arab spring where some countries in some countries a military or hijacked people's revolution is that what we're seeing in sudan right now. i think what we're seeing is that playing to a few members of the military planes to pull of that example and through ball reports they seem to have the support not just of egypt but of of we don't be and libya in saudi arabia as well but in sudan and the protesters have learned from the
1:05 pm
arab spring from the failures of some of those uprisings and they seem very organized they have been the youth in they have broad support i mean to not be very good. easy to completely do that but the beginning of the front just doesn't achieve that group called we already see that the push to start up called for much is i'm done c b n i do so civil disobedience across the country the group support them very well organized i mean to not be very easy for the military to go out there against their only didn't show is that these might get was before it gets better but too clearly as we see that a little bit of the security forces are willing to fly on them and protest bryant this is a very volatile situation and not a team from the international crisis group thank you very much for your analysis there and puter. it's been nothing yet it was some of the

president arrived in london at the beginning of a 3 day visit to the united kingdom or the crown prince visit of the country before this is his 1st state visits to the u.k. and comes at a time of political turmoil for britain has already stood up some controversy even a voiced support for the divisive political figure bothers johnson to be the next prime minister you also said the u.k. should be much tougher with the european union during breaks that negotiations. joining me now is due to be correspondent shot of what's she's in london in front of buckingham palace now. this is full said visits and lots of pomp and pageantry but what's on the agenda during this 3 day visit. so donald trump will receive 1st of all today the full royal treatment he will arrive shortly at buckingham palace where he's due to meet the queen and prince charles among others and the rest of the royal family they will have a lunch followed by
1:08 pm
a visit to westminster abbey and a royal exhibition and then the highlight of today for president trump a state dinner a banquet where americans and british alike will attend famous people from both countries tomorrow then president trump is going to meet to resign may in downing street the outgoing prime minister where they will discuss the possibility of a u.s. u.k. trade deal. so that is that those are the main things on his agenda these days and of course president trump is hoping to create glamorous images here in london during his state visit but seanad bottom a glamorous images he's hoping to get he's expected to meet with quite a number of protest. massive protests are indeed expected in the capital today and tomorrow protesters from all around the country
1:09 pm
are indeed descending on london and tonight they are planning to protest here in front of buckingham palace tomorrow and then in central london around downing street where theresa may and donald trump will meet we've also heard a lot of criticism on those controversial visit from u.k. politicians among them among some opposition leader jeremy corbin the labor leader who said he's not going to attend the dinner tonight he is going to boycott this dinner along with other politicians here in the u k. i shot a trumpet is visiting the u.k. the time of political turmoil over briggs's and as we've heard dollar trump is already edges views on the subject how's that going down there. well donald trump has always been a mess of supporter of brecht's that of the u.k. in leaving the european union he has criticized a tremendously for not negotiating in a right way with the european union and now he has finally also endorsed boris
1:10 pm
johnson and evan bracks that supporter as the next prime minister of course there is a lot of criticism here surrounding that people are saying a foreign leader should not meddle with domestic politics but also boris johnson supporters of course feel like this was the right step from president donald trump to do shock box outside the buckingham palace in london thank you very much. here in berlin the future of america's government is in doubt after the leader for junior coalition partner unexpectedly resigned under nala stepped down after a social democrat party's disastrous choice in the recent european elections michael says she will push ahead with the coalition but others are not so sure the social democrats for their part are now trying to find a new leader or leader. andre anonymous has left but not without saying goodbye heart shaped michiru i've just said goodbye to the s.p.d.
1:11 pm
party executive committee. so we're going to have resigned. and i also wanted to personally thank you for years of good teamwork. you've spent many many hours here in the valley plant house thank you for that take care. unduly anomalous his resignation as party leader and parliamentary party leader is the main focus of german news media as is the question how will the grand coalition of the s.p.d. and merkel c.d.u. continue. to go 5 it'll be the end of the grand coalition if it continues this way or they'll change something and then we'll see what the new plan is and then maybe. it's the end of the grand coalition it's going to be the s.p.d. the f.t.p. and the greens now the s.p.d. has put on the brakes stop have a rethink and turn around a trio of leaders will likely take charge of the s.p.d.
1:12 pm
temporarily. it's not just a question of which heads will lead but instead of what is new after all we've switched people a lot already and the question is what does the s.p.d. stand for. the s.p.d. earthquake is rattling the entire german government. and earthquake was beyond analyse s.p.d. leader and a decision to step down but what was the motivation and was she treated unfairly by a body perhaps because she was the 1st woman to head the social democrats that put that question to debbie's political correspondent hans front she was facing really severe and very personal criticism in recent days and weeks directed at her person and i think. i was saying that this kind of treatment would not have been given to a man in her position i think there is some truth in that the social democratic party contains a lot of what you might call alpha males very self-confident men and i think
1:13 pm
possibly that is part of the reason why she was very deeply hurt by what has happened in recent days. joining me now is a constant folks he's a senior member of jimmy's social democrats and one of the bodies most well known by the titians welcome coffin folk now and then known nonis has gone and she was very much in favor of this grand coalition with thug gone is the coalition of america make of government now under threat this is a possibility but not a likely one what makes you say that because i know the party i know the interest of this coalition was bad for the 2 parties christian democrats lost the social democrats lost in law. the results of this coalition were good for the country and we have seen this clash between so to say the policy results and
1:14 pm
support among the voters in the last year is it has been long process already and i think it would not stop if you worked for the can he breaks his coalition no but the it may not be refuted this is also clear that the next coalition will not be a coalition between christian democrats and social democrats and do you think that given that you think was good for the country because off majority of people polled say they do not want the so-called grand coalition between these 2002 parties so do you think the meca will be able to govern a full term. if she wants a government i think this is one of the possibilities i'm not sure whether this coalition will last until the final but i think it will last no because there are couple of reforms which the social democrats want to achieve for example the immigration law and a couple of social reforms and i think they will be decided upon it's the end during this year and i think therefore i think that at this stage it's unlikely
1:15 pm
that the coalition is breaking so there's no sudden breakup of the grand coalition but there is a meeting should do for autumn when the 2 parties get together and take stock of what they've achieved so far and how they want to go forward would that be the time when some bigger decision could be taken and this could be a time but i cannot guarantee you this is by the way also possibility for different reasons because i'm going to not as not decided yet whether she will stay on to the end or whether she would hand over chance or ship to a new leader the woman and if she would hand over the chancellorship to a new mormon i cannot imagine that the social democrats would vote for a new chance the christian democratic chances so it's not only in the hands of the social democrats is also in the hands of the christian democratic leadership the board and in that man is the body to off the social democrats is just resign and macon had huge respect for each other and get bought the parties on losing
1:16 pm
electorate support from the people is that is it possible to imagine that they would want to cling together because if it only way to survive i think that it's very logical when you know german politics we have the tool big blocks in our society richmal represented the christian democrats and social codes and they couldn't form a coalition other coalition could not be formed because they couldn't agree a couple of years ago and therefore they had to work together but kenya. and in the night states sort of public involved in the democratic party for winning the lions . in absence of a new election i cannot imagine that so normally these 2 pillars of our society should be critic to points for either government all the opposition in this rural which is a rule for the stability of the country which is based on on one side corporation on the other side and take on those in between 2 big pits has been undermined by
1:17 pm
this question for far too long and therefore it's now a needed on the one side to complete a couple of projects which can only be achieved in such a so-called grand coalition on the other side to prepare for a break up of this coalition of the latest stage but that the opposition is going to snap elections do you think it's clear they have their high in public opinion polls and they want to be in the next government i mean this is not only for some idealistic greens they have their own reasons for fear lection for immediate elections not so you think the government is not under threat because internationally everyone looks to me as a beacon of stability but this is also i mean since those democrats inside the interim leadership in the for the party they with this afternoon decide on an interim leadership in the parliamentary group and i think that germany be a contender to be a stable country and even if this government would change you then would have coalition between christian democrats and greens and this would not mean
1:18 pm
a major shift of jump policy so yes there's a lot of noise a lot of conflict but as an outsider i always say compared with other european countries it's an island of stability gotten focus senior member of the s.p.d. social democrat in germany thank you very much fail in fact. turning now to some other news and boeing has admitted that 45 may have been stored on some of its 737 airliners the company has been under intense pressure since 2737 max planes crashed within months of each other killing a total of 346 feet for the model has been grounded worldwide since march boeing's admission has 1st the i said by john and i'm canceling an order for 10 of the jets scientific safety concerns. from cash cow to a $1000000000.00 liability boeing 737 models are back in the headlines and once
1:19 pm
again it's for the wrong reasons after the grounding of the marx's comes the news that the current model could have defected of parts boeing says up to $148.00 parts could be faulty including the wing components which enable pilots to reduce speed. the federal aviation administration has given the company 10 days to replace suspicious parts while boeing says the risk of a cross hasn't risen the latest revelation has dealt a further blow to its reputation and that's a ready having major economic consequences many airlines are already mulling canceling their orders that puts billions of dollars on the line. prior to the concerns over the 737 boeing listed 4636 orders i figure that could face a steep drop. potentially enabling european competitor air bus to profit its a 320 neo both similar features and had clocked 3605 orders with an
1:20 pm
increasing number of customers losing confidence in the boeing brand the aviation giant is likely to face more turbulent times. today is world bicycle day a survey by a german insurance company has named the dot city of yours fact as the most cycling friendly in the was a thought is they have introduced a range of measures to encourage people to ride bikes some are quite surprising and as we report you check has not always been known for its clean and exercise. australian kylie found could not imagine life without a car in her homeland but since moving to the dutch city. she almost always rides a bike for transport that took some getting used to i'd never. try to cycle once i didn't know what i was doing it was 35 degrees a surfing named as one of the best cities in the world for cyclists even beating
1:21 pm
amsterdam new bike lanes and bridges are being added all the time some are even heated in the winter to keep them safe in icy conditions. and those who are new to cycling like kylie can get an instructor. to invest $130.00 euros per resident for its biking project in berlin it's just for euro 70. the world's biggest parking lot for bikes is being built right in the center of act with enough room for 6000 bikes. when we built these kind of beautiful parkings people are go really go to psycho just because the facilities are there so it's it stimulates the mobility to be like this was not always the case in the 1960 s. the car with at the center of urban planning. even a canal was built in so a freeway could be built on it. to tract has been correcting the planning mistakes
1:22 pm
of the past for years now the canal is being restored there are new parks and green spaces and the city is even going a step further at this new housing development with 6000 units just one in 3 will get a parking space for a car and there will be mobility management so a couple of hops people can go for all their mobility desires car sharing electric bikes cargo x. public transport. kiley is now in very good company as growing numbers of people make the switch in the netherlands more than 30 percent ever has it and used bicycles for all their transport needs. joining me now is mark with their brother shirt a professor at the university of amsterdam with a focus on urban cycling welcome professor of another a very famously has more cycle lanes than highways what makes that possible.
1:23 pm
perhaps. one of the things that means that. there are so many use the bicycle so wherever the bicycle politicians are also willing to invest serious money into your research. but is it just a mindset thing that the people are using cycles or is this something more concrete that other countries could adopt for example in terms of policies. well it's very hard to distill the exact policies of the light is it so if you go back 100 years also in germany most of the cities will be dominated by bicycle press. so it's almost the did the not exist until certain policies to get cycling dominant in the netherlands till the mid seventy's often stated more cities also do there were actively planning to to get rid of all the bicycles and
1:24 pm
to plan a highway structure so we invited american engineers to build our cities to the likes of cities like chicago or los angeles but in the seventy's this was all stuff and i think that's where the core of this where the people of amsterdam especially the people of our city space studio i resisted this car dominated engineering. if you think that the fed could have momentum growing for climate friendly policies you had the fridays for future protests every week the greens may have a strong showing in european elections but in the end i'm speaking to you from a country which is famous for its auto industry it's got industry how does one that encourage people that the government that policy should be also there to help cyclists like cycling's infrastructure for cyclists. no fortunately i think the main argument is that if you look at the negatives the netherlands is also seen as
1:25 pm
one of the best countries to ride a car and one of the reasons is that so many people who love the right because those who keep your ceased accessible for the necessary god traffic if you want to get rid of all the people in cars that are blocking the other guy. and one of the ways to do that is to encourage them to use alternatives and i think one of the main lessons from the netherlands is that for super cities across across germany is that in fact cycling does not offer an alternative for car public transport i stopped off for a moment for the car but if you go online to do together we have an alternative for cities that are the car doesn't even. write a marketable machette a professor from the university of amsterdam focusing on in cycling thank you very much for your insights brought me back. now to shoot
