3:02 pm
demonstrators through the streets. gunfire and explosions of shots at their protests breaking out the peaceful city. but even as safely the bullets the protesters mocked the army and repeat their demands for change. freedom peace and justice civilian rule this month chant these protesters. are those and circled by the troops plead with the military to hold their fire. peacefully peacefully they shout. but since the early morning sudan's capital has been anything but peaceful. protest leaders have stopped cooperation with the transitional military council back calling the crackdown a bloody massacre and said i cannot even evacuate the bodies of the dead they're calling them martyrs. hundreds of the injured are being treated in cartoons row
3:03 pm
care hospital the sudan doctors committee says the death toll is difficult to count and can only rise but the army is meeting determined organize resistance the opposition and thrown up their own roadblocks in response stringing stones and burning tires across the city. but after the dispersal of the sit in we went back to the streets and squares and thank god with the help of the youth we closed the street and we will close everything again god willing. a day of violence by the army may have broken up the protest a city that it seems to have simply dispersed the resistance throughout khartoum. for the very latest on sudan i'm joined by military to govern the international crisis group in nairobi welcome to you know what seale assessment of the situation in sudan is the military's action a serious escalation. i think this is
3:04 pm
a very significant escalation 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 to get rid of the regime was replaced but the region remains firmly in place and unfortunately in the interim been very unwilling to use of it much of the protest sort of under now this experience of take control of the government this is a very grievous coalition it calls for the suit intervention but unfortunately we don't really see things improving and there was a military council 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 reached the palace. i think the perception among this in the.
3:05 pm
demonstrators has been that the military essentially has been playing for time beating the drugging out the top 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 to luxury a little bit as this shows 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 seeming claimed essentially to lead the country down the pike a lot contrary to what 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 family that they that a military who is not to live way to run
3:06 pm
a country but who wants to put their views in what is needed now is everybody into calling for restraint and talk firing on the protesters themselves 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 metro 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 i mean claims to follow that example and through all of reports they seem to have the support not just of egypt but of of would be and libya they didn't so during via as well but in sudan and the protestors have learned from the arab spring from the failures of some of those presidents and they seem very often they think of you know you think they have broad support i mean to look at the very. easy to keep using but beginning for the for just over cheap that
3:07 pm
group called we already see that approach to start up called for my chickens and i don't see b.t.n. i do so simple disobedience across the country being how groups out there are very well organized i mean to not be very easy people who are military to go politically by their genes their only didn't go is that peace might get was before it gets better but too clearly as we see that a little bit of the security forces are willing to fire on them and we'll just try and this is a very volatile situation a lot of team want to go from the international crisis group thank you very much for your analysis that britain has chilled out the red carpet for us president donna trump at the start of his 1st state visit that he and 1st lady millennium arrived by helicopter and buckingham palace where they were welcomed by feel invisible for lunch even before he set foot in the u.k. trump was stirring up controversy but endorsing divisive conservative politician
3:08 pm
boris johnson as the next prime minister he also said the u.k. should be much tougher with the european union during breaks at negotiations. correspondent shall of pots is standing in front of buckingham palace and joins me now from there charlotte a royal welcome for donald trump what's on the agenda at buckingham palace and later on. well it's going to be more pomp and ceremony for donald trump as you mentioned he arrived here in marine one with the palace called just a short while ago was greeted by prince charles and camilla and a bunch of cannon fire can and salutes while coming in over 20 minutes of loud cannon fires here later on so he's now having lunch with the queen he 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
3:09 pm
using that opportunity to convince donald trump all the necessary steps that have to be taken in terms of climate change later on tonight the highlight of the 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 that we all see 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 the outgoing prime minister to resign around
3:10 pm
downing street so we're expecting protests there mess of protests people coming in from all across the country and this is 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 labor leader jeremy called leader the new leader of the opposition party he will be boycotting that state and that's night he will not be attending and shall not trump is physically the u.k. at a time of political turmoil over brags that and as people of donald 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
3:11 pm
a deal in the rx of talks if the european union doesn't give the u.k. what they want to see he's always been critical of the series amazing 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 is something that especially the labor side does not like a shot of folks standing in front of buckingham palace on a glorious day in london thank you very much. i asked be heard from charlotte many protests an anti-crime demonstrations expected to take place in london and across the u.k. during the u.s. president's 3 day visit on the n.s.a. of joins me now and he's been tracking the activities off of these protesters on social media welcome i mean tell us more about the scale of these protests that we can expect in the next 3 days well the trunk the protests against trump are kicking off today a buckingham palace organized by a group called together against trump the protesters called spoiled trump's bank
3:12 pm
with because it's going to the bank with their later we can show you the web site here of the organization together against trump they are pinpointing all the locations around the country where these protests are going to happen so. it's quite a few actually there are also offering bus shuttles between the protests very highly organized. and they have organized protests into blocks one of them abortion rights women's bloc for example another one is climate bloc those are just a couple of the issues that have brought protesters out today but the u.k. there's just a general sense of opposition to trump's kind of very brusque leadership style if you want to call it that so what are we expecting to see in these protests because you face not just london but it's across the country well for one thing the baby trump is going to make a comeback earlier this 20 foot blimp that caught headlines when trump visited the u.k. last year that's going to come back maybe even bigger actually they started
3:13 pm
a crowdfunding website to raise funds for it several 1000 pounds tens of thousands of pounds rather and all the leftover money is going to go to charity after that. yeah but organizers wanted to bring it back because it was such a quote unquote hit last time. we can also see photos of the blimp now this is from last year and as i said they're building a new one that's supposed to be even bigger so lowbrow humor but i don't think trump is over that this is. also another campaign that we found from a group that is called led by donkeys and they like to project things on the walls here you can see a soundbite from. boris johnson who trump supported and they tweeted this group tweeted the real donald trump you just endorsed your brags that buddy boris johnson but he said some very nasty things about you and he doesn't want you to know so he projected his words on to big bend for all of london to see so really protests
3:14 pm
around the u.k. trying to make the trump feel unwelcome as possible unwelcome on an uncomfortable to be creative and innovative means what drunken 5th though he's already made on twitter before he came to the u.k. well that's true trump is quite often on twitter and there was already a spat between him and london mayor said he khan it started with an op ed that said he conroe for the observer on saturday he actually compared some of the things that trump has said to 20th century fascism so very harsh words for trump said econ is one of many people in london who want to make him feel unwelcome when he comes he said that it was. yeah he said that it was wrong to welcome trump to london and trump responded to that saying study kahn who by all accounts has done a terrible job as mayor of london has been foolishly nasty to the visiting president of the united states by far the most important ally of the united kingdom he is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in london not on me so there's those
3:15 pm
are the harsh words that a lot of londoners take objection to of course the far right in london might support from but generally there's the sense that he's not a welcome guest right kind of uncomfortable language and both sides have to say i mean as if from a social media disc a pleasure to have you here. let me now bring you some other stories making news around the want 5 people are dead and 10 wounded in the afghan capital kabul after a bomb attached to a bus exploded the bus was carrying government employees is the latest in a wave of bombings in the afghan capital where both the taliban and so-called islamic state are active. a heatwave in northern india has triggered warnings of water shortages and heatstroke temperatures have exceeded 50 degrees celsius in some places people in the copters delhi have been advised not to go out in the hottest hours of the day and they've been several key treated deaths reported. in thailand thailand scattered bangkok a fire engulfed that chart of chalk we can't market are the most popular bazaars in
3:16 pm
asia the bill is destroyed hundreds of vendors towards no injuries have been reported the governor of bangkok says the fire may have been caused by an electrical short circuit. airplane manufactured boeing has now admitted that some of its 737 planes could have a defective brain bought the company has been under intense pressure since 2737 max planes crashed within months of each other killing a total of $346.00 people the model has been grounded worldwide since march. here in berlin the future of america's government is in doubt after the leader of a junior coalition partner unexpectedly resigned and then donna stepped down after her social democrat party's disastrous showing in the recent european elections merkel says she would push ahead with the coalition but others are not so sure the social democrats for their part are now trying to find
3:17 pm
a new set of leader. monthly analysis has left but not without saying goodbye heart shaped michiru 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. you've spent many many hours here in the 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. 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.
3:18 pm
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. joining me now is a constant folks he's a senior member of jimmy's social democrats and one of the body's most well known politicians welcome cuff and folk now and then known nonis has gone and she was very much in favor of this grand coalition with tug 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 of the
3:19 pm
interest of this court and 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 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 commute breaks this correlation no end but the it really 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 because off majority of people polled say they do not want the so-called grand coalition between these 2 of the 2 parties so do you think america will be able to govern a full term. if you know answer government i think this is one of the
3:20 pm
possibilities i'm not sure whether this coalition will find an end 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 thought in 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 has not decided yet whether she will stay on to the end or whether she would hand over chancellor ship to a new leader the woman and if she would hand over. to the new movement i
3:21 pm
cannot imagine that the social democrats would vote for a new chancellor christendom could be chancellor so it's not only in the hands of the social democrats is also in the hands of the christian democratic leadership the board. bhatija off the social democrats is just resign and they can have huge respect for each other and get bought the party's losing 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. in the night states so republican party and the democratic party fallen in the lines. in
3:22 pm
the absence of a new election i kind of the mention that so normally these 2 pillars of our society should be collecting points for either government all the opposition and this ruler which is just 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 as in between 2 big pits has been undermined by this question for far too long and therefore it's no 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 reasons they have their own reasons for your election for immediate elections now so you think the government is not under threat because internationally everyone talks to joni as
3:23 pm
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 and then we'll 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 s.p.d. social democrat in germany thank you very much for you know in fact it. a debate is raging in venice of a where the big ships should be allowed so close to the city strategized canals and it comes after a cruise liner lost control and crashed into a pier and a tourist boat at the weekend injuring several people. the
