i tied to do it except it is a great day by name of the uninsured and i work at it up you. 2 get it. into w.d. is coming to you live from but in sudan's military bricks of the city and in the capital khartoum several people are dead after security forces told the protesters camp jelly's among the countries condemning the use of live ammunition against demonstrators also coming up. u.s. president on the front has met queen elizabeth at the start of

a state visit to the u.k. the trip is proving controversial we find out why it is dividing the nation. is on the american government on the verge of collapse german politics astonishing to uncertainty after the shock resignation of m j i'm not as the leader of a social democrat coalition partners. the 3 visit the city dubbed the most cyclic friendly in the blood what does your sex in the netherlands have going for it. i don't welcome on with that shima in savannah 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 of a power to transition. the government in april the military overthrew president of

model bashir after mass protests against his 30 of runes. for the very latest on sudan i'm joined by most of the what they got from the international crisis group in nairobi welcome to you know what seal assessment of the situation in sudan is the military's action a serious escalation i think this is a very significant escalation which unfortunately 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 he got into the region was replaced but the region remains firmly in place and unfortunately they've remained very unwilling to use to the demands of the protesters and i know this is billions of take control of the government this is a very grievous coalition it's called for their suit intervention but unfortunately

we don't really see things improving and there was a military council 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 restart powers. i think the perception among the. demonstrators has been that the military essentially has been playing for time they've been 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 it 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 has influence to be in it specially to lean on the military leaders who seemingly claimed essentially to lead the country down on the

part of the contrary but we should marry a government such as the one that you have now in iraq this is the african union and the peace and security council and others need to step in tell the lead does family that they that a military who is not too little way to run a country but it wasn't politically what is needed now is ever put into calls for restraint and talked firing on the protesters consulted what do you think today and what is that is what is saying that this is a similar pattern that we saw in the so-called arab spring west some countries in some countries a military hijacked. a revolution is that what we're seeing in sudan right now 6. i think what we're seeing is that playing to a few members of the military planes to pull that to go. through all of this seemed to have the support not just of egypt but of of we don't be and libya of

that in saudi arabia as well but in sudan and the protesters have learned from the arab spring from the failures of some of those uprisings and they seem very organized they have been a huge increase they have broad support i mean it will not be very. easy to completely but beginning for the for just over a chip that recalled we already see that the push to start up call for all my chips i'm superior. civil disobedience across the country the how groups out there are very well organized i mean to be very easy for the military to completely block their gains the only danger is that these wait get was before it gets better but to clearly as we see that elements of the security forces are willing to fire on them. right this is a very volatile situation a lot of team want to go from the international crisis group thank you very much

mentioned he arrived here in marine one with the palace just a short while ago was greeted by prince charles and camilla and a bunch of cannon fire cannon salutes welcoming him over 20 minutes of the loud cannon fires here later on so he's now having lunch with the queen you will later on move on to westminster abbey and will then have tea afternoon tea with prince charles again the 2 leaders don't see eye to eye on many things especially on climate change and it's going to be interesting to see where the prince charles is using that opportunity to convince donald trump off the necessary steps that have to be taken in terms of climate change later on tonight the highlight of this state visit it's going to be a dinner with american and british famous citizens attending and this will most certainly create the glamorous pictures that donald trump has been looking for during his state visit here to the u.k.

and i'm sure don't talk to revive a trade with the oldest and pageantry of the 3 all seeing but he's also expected to face many protests in the city isn't. yes we're expecting massive protests especially tonight here at buckingham palace the protesters want to disrupt the state dinner and then later on in the night and throughout the day tomorrow when donald trump is meeting on to the outgoing prime minister to resign around downing street so we're expecting protests there mess of protests people coming in from all or cross the country and this is a very controversial state visit we have also heard from especially from labor politicians that they are highly critical of this visit that they are asking why are we rolling out the red carpet for president donald trump and for example jeremy colbert and be a leader in the leader of the opposition party he will be boycotting that state and

it's night he will not be attending and china trungpa specifically u.k. at a time of political turmoil over brags that and as people adore trump's already aired his views on the subject how's that going down there. well not very well especially in the labor party donald trump has been throwing political hand grenades even before touching down on u.s. soil over the weekend he has given interviews saying that the u.k. should just walk away from the european union so technically leaving without a deal in the brics of talks if the european union doesn't give the u.k. what they want to see he's always been critical of theories amaze negotiation strategy and he's also been suggesting that the u.k. should sue the european union so he's been really meddling with domestic politics here something that especially the labor side does not like shall have books standing in front of buckingham palace on a glorious day in london thank you very much. and

berlin the future of america's government isn't datta after the leader of her junior coalition partner unexpectedly resigned on d.n.r. to step down after her social democratic parties disastrous showing in the recent european elections maggie says she reports ahead with the coalition but others are not quite so sure the social democrats for their part are now try to find a new leader or leaders. bluntly analysis has left but now without saying goodbye to our. i've just said goodbye to the s.p.d. party executive committee. i have resigned. and i also wanted to personally thank you for years of good teamwork that. you've spent many many hours here in the valley plant house thank you for that take cap. on 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. 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. 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 as rattling the entire german government. this much discussion about

what motivated this. is to step down suddenly was she treated unfairly by have party she also some voices that say she faced elements of miss sunshine and billing as the 1st female head of the social democrats i asked of political chorus finance beyond the s.b. the headquarters to tell a small she was facing really severe and very personal criticism in recent days and weeks directed at her person and i think. 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 possibly that was part of the reason why she was very deeply hurt by what has happened in recent days. and joining me now is a constant forty's a senior member of jimmy's social democrats and one of the bodies most well known

by the titians welcome custom folk now under known this has gone and she was very much in favor of this grand coalition with 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 question was bad for the 2 parties christian democrats lost the social democrats lost in law but the results of this coalition were good for the country and we have seen this clash between so to say the policy results and support among the voters in the last year is it has been a long process already and i think it would not stop if you would expect it could be breaks this correlation no and but it may not be a refute it is also clear that the next coalition will not be a coalition between christian democrats and social democrats do you think that

given that you think was good for the country but the vast majority of people polled say they do not want the so-called grand coalition between these 22 parties so do you think america 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 couple of reforms which the social democrats want to achieve for example the immigration law and a couple of social reforms and i think that will be decided upon it's the end during this year and i think therefore i think that at this stage it's unlikely 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 go as not decided whether she will stay on to the end or whether she would hand over that chance or ship to the new leader the woman and if she would hand over the chance or should turn human i cannot imagine that the social democrats would vote for a new chancellor christendom could be transferred so it's not only in the hands of the social democrats is also in the hands of the christian democratic leadership the board under not malice the body do off the social democrats who just resigned and had huge respect for each other and get bought the parties on losing electorate support from the people is then 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 john in politics we have the tool big blocks in our society rich

rather 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. it's an internet states sort of public involved in the democratic party for winning the lions. in an absence of a new election i cannot imagine that so normally these 2 pillars of our society should ease their collective 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 cover a sin on the other side and take on those in between 2 big tits has been undermined by 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 ups of this coalition of the latest stage now 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 reasons they have their own reason to fear lection for immediate elections now 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 fall the party they with this afternoon decided 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 a coalition between christian democrats and greens and this would not mean 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 social democrats in germany thank you very much for you know in fact. today is one and

bicycle day a survey by a german insurance company has named the dutch city of your tracks as the most cycling friendly in the wild a parties they have introduced a range of measures to encourage people to ride bikes some are quite surprising and as we report you checked was not always known for its clean and exercise. toss trillian kylie fund 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 cycle that i tried to cycle once i didn't know what i was doing it was dangerous it was 35 degrees a survey named as one of the best cities in the world for cyclists even beating faster than 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 even get an instructor. trying 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 water act with enough room for 6000 bikes. when we build these kind of beautiful park things people are going 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 track has been correcting the planning mistakes 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 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. kylie is now in very good company as growing numbers of people make the switch in the netherlands more than 30 percent of residents use bicycles for their transport needs. joining me now is a market development shirt a professor at the university of amsterdam with a focus on urban cycling welcome professor of the live in a very famously has more cycle lanes than highways what makes that possible. possible is that there are so many use the bicycle so wherever the bicycle is

are also willing to invest serious money into your solution. 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 liveliness it's 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 nonexistence of certain policies to get slightly dominant in the netherlands until the mid seventy's i would say that more cities also through there were actively planning to to get rid of all the bicycles and 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 then 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 the 1st bit of momentum growing for climate friendly policies you had the fridays for future protests every week the greens made of 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 has also seen as one of the best countries to ride a car and one of the reasons is that so many people who love to write 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 car. 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 city or cities across germany is that in fact cycling does not offer an alternative for car public transport i stopped off for a moment for a car but if you go online to do together we have an alternative for cities that are that the car doesn't even write. write a marketable machette a professor from the university of amsterdam focusing on one cycling thank you very much for your insights. well you might still think of it as an olympic sport but brick dancing could give the power schemes a more contemporary look in 2024 it's one of 4 new sports being suggested for inclusion olympics chief thomas bach is

a fan of the street disciplines. choreography but others aren't convinced big dancing belongs to the olympics we headed to the french capital to find a. great dance battle is raging at this recreation center near paris. it's one of around $1500.00 such competitions held throughout france each year. there are top rocks footwork power moves you have to be fast. friends is one of the leading countries worldwide for breakdowns we do a lot of things differently here our style is very technical very musical and we try out a lot of new things. there are several 1000 breakdown says in france some even make a living from it. and it could even feature as a discipline at the paris 2024 olympics.

also the olympics would bring us more recognition. they would make it better known across the world. beyond just the break dance community. but not everyone likes the idea breakdown started as a subculture in 1970 s. new york. and many here in the east and paris suburbs associate the olympics with big business doping and corruption no place for them it's in a different sphere it's all about governments it's a giant machine it's too highbrow for us so. it's not ok for breakdowns to bow to the olympics. criteria that are too narrow would destroy the dance culture. we really need something like the olympic games for fulfillment i don't think so. artists they say. but their moves would be

a real draw that the olympics. here's a recap of the tell story that we're following for you and g.w. in savannah at least 13 people are reported to have been killed as the army moved in to break up a sit in outside its headquarters that's been going on for weeks the protesters according on the generals to hand of a pilot to a civilian transitional government. up next ecofin did the environment magazine to stay with us for that if you cat.
