5:03 pm
the moment we know that president is most likely having a cup of tea with prince charles very near here to buckingham palace and clarence house could be an interesting conversation because the 2 have got very different views for example on climate change something that prince charles the son of the queen of course regards as a big threat but the president and for him it's a chinese who doesn't he doesn't have strong views and much criticized views on climate change we know that that later on is the big state banquet here. that's going to be a big ceremonial unity with national anthems and speeches and that's going to be the conclusion of this day that he spends mostly with the queen and her family all right i do want to repeat my 1st question to you because i want to get a reaction from you because you were there london as you've just. alluded to is

5:06 pm
implying that he himself would have gotten a better deal for for the u.k. he's also has a twitter spat with the mayor of london and that's something that a lot of people are accusing the mayor of london of being very undiplomatic but also i think for president trump it's very unusual to engage just before the visit and really quite brutal exchange and twitter with a london mayor said you call on he's also has a press use of boris johnson who's the strongest contender for the leadership within the conservative party also something that's unusual that a president would weigh into something that's essentially very british and very conservative polity if has a he does behave in an unusual way and that's why a lot of people here are very very critical of him all right back in mass reporting live for us outside buckingham palace thank you so very much. all

5:09 pm
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 protests to sit in that it seems to have simply dispersed the resistance throughout khartoum. all right let's tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world a court in sweden who. rejected their request to detain wiki leaks founder julian assange hunched over a 2010 briefcase asuncion prison in the u.k. today's ruling dashes swedish prosecutors hopes of having him extradited swiftly from britain a songes lawyer called the decision a quote big victory for his client. 5 people are dead and 10 wounded in the afghan capital kabul after a bomb attached to a bus exploded on the bus was carrying government employees is the latest in
5:10 pm

5:11 pm
in fact michelle no i've just said goodbye to the s.p.d. party executive committee. so again i have resigned. and i also wanted to personally thank you for years of good teamwork it's the garden. you've spent many many hours here in the valley plant house and thank you for that take care. unduely analysis 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's 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 just damages it's the end of the grand coalition it's going to be the s.p.d. the f.d.p. and the greens now the s.p.d. has put on the brakes stop have a rethink and turn around as a temporary solution
5:12 pm
a trio of leaders will take charge of the s.p.d. . 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. and i'm now joined by the political analyst olof thank you so much for being i mean we're still kind of digesting this news because it sent shock waves through germany's political landscape how is the s.p.d. the day after dealing with the situation i think that trying to calm down the situation within the party in the 1st place so they had a long meeting of the leadership today to discuss how to proceed they now elect the 3 had a trio which will interim lead the party but all of them immediately at the press conference claimed that they will not run for the official party seat so therefore
5:13 pm
it's a party which is totally shaking by this decision it comes not by surprise to be honest because. the attacks on monday are not as were going on for quite some while now she announced last friday that you will call for elections within the parliamentary group once used day and then she surprised everyone on sunday by saying ok you know what i leave it and i leave both leadership positions and that's a big shake up and so therefore we'll see what this makes what the party put this in perspective for us how much of an existential threat is this for the s.p.d. i mean do they just need to kind of step out of the coalition and do some soul search searching now it is the most serious situation the s.p.d. has been maybe in its entire history despite the period during the 2nd world war but this is really if you scenes of 20 years ago in 1909 so the party had been ranking in forty's so they won the elections in $98.00 with 40 percent now they are close to 10 and my prediction would be what however actually they solve the
5:14 pm
situation there will be the 1st polls bushell them under 10 percent and so wipe out they slowly socially so therefore it's a big question marks on how to proceed and sir it's not even for an expert easy to to give any recommendations should they leave the grand coalition yeah maybe but it's too late anyways or should they stay maybe but so they don't get the they don't get their 180 you. sure and if they do so so therefore it's really a big thing so 1st come down the situation internally don't know hasty decisions for right now and then let's see no hasty decisions but what does it mean for tennant's ongoing erika's coalition that's the thing yeah no i have sort of i think they are they are companions and faith for since the beginning of the coalition since not to step down from the leadership party chair. in the c.d.u. so because her successor on the great come conboy is eager to to take office before a new election so she wants to have the bonus actually as being chancellor but i'm
5:15 pm
going to make quite clear that's not going to happen and however that goes maybe the grand coalition comes to an end because the s.p.d. will leave the coalition but it's not i'm glad americans are giving up and it gives some people within the c.d.u. and i don't think it's a k.k. maybe now a chance actually to kill 2 birds with one stone by kicking out the s.p.d. and then taking over and maybe after snap elections we will even see a green chancellor because the greens are rising in the polls because they're doing fantastically totally it's absolute bring in their cards to please come back and i don't listen again thank you so very much i'll have monica coliseum analyst. boeing has admitted that faulty parts may have been installed on some of its 737 airliners or the company has been under intense pressure since it 2737 max planes crashed within months of each other killing a total of $346.00 people well the model has been grounded worldwide since march boeing's admission has pushed the azerbaijan airline assault into perspiring in

power moves you have to be fast almost up to break also france 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 breakdowns is in france some even make a living from it. and it could even feature as a discipline at the paris 2024 olympics. 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 the subculture in 1970 s. new york. and many here in the east in paris suburbs associate the lympics with big business doping and corruption no place for them in the game it's
