a faulty parts plus the world for parents to mark the 30th anniversary of the tiananmen square massacre of pro-democracy demonstrators but beijing is ignoring it acting as if that deadly day in 1989 never happened. i'm brinkerhoff it's good to have you with us tonight u.s. president donald trump is in britain for a 3 day state visit and today he is getting the royal treatment from start to finish the president and the 1st lady are due to arrive for a state banquet at buckingham palace hosted by the queen a crowd of protesters already gathered near the palace to voice their opposition to trump's visit earlier in the day the queen and prince charles welcomed donald and melania trump with an honor guard by the president when he stirred controversy
9:02 pm
ahead of his arrival calling london's mayor in a tweet quote a stone cold a loser. are those talk about this visit it's a do that i'm joined by tyson barker here at the big table where he is with the aspen institute germany he also served in the u.s. state department during the obama administration ties and it's good to see you again so we got it official state visit for trump in the u.k. how important is this for u.s. foreign policy is it important yes or no i mean state visits can be highly important and he's really doing this in his role not as head of government but of as head of state similar role too to the queen in in the u.k. it's the head of state it's largely ceremonial i mean honestly it's going to be content like you know he's meeting with 70 with the royal family meeting with clean etc but of course trump brings his own flavor to these kind of things and obviously
9:03 pm
when he was on the plate right over he started the twitter war with khan and is eliciting a lot of reactions in the street we also have a lame duck prime minister just days away from turning over her prime ministership so that's not going to play as big of a role the one thing to say is you know the u.k. is a very divided country it's very polarized but one thing that does unite the u.k. is it's just dislike of president trumps will be interesting to see what kind of taste this leaves in their mouths as they head into a political transition i want to talk about the dislike in just a moment but i want to ask you 1st about intelligence sharing the u.s. have still written to withhold intelligence information from the u.k. if britain moves forward with allowing the chinese firm who to help build its 5 g. network i want you to take a listen to what the u.k. foreign secretary said about that earlier today. well we've made it very clear that we would never take a decision that risked our ability to share intelligence with the united states and
9:04 pm
off 5 eyes partners and we'll take a decision in the british national interest at the appropriate time of course we will listen to what the americans have said. we take that on board very carefully but we will make our. in the british national interest. the foreign minister there . if i'm wrong we won't let the us tell us what to do but we will do what the us tells the right it was very gingerly formulate it right but it seems to be talking out of both corners of his mouth i mean the truth is that the united states and the u.k. canada australia new zealand have a very special unique relationship where basically their intelligence are completely sink but you know this walkway issue has been an issue for a long time the u.k. allowed walkway to install 3 d. 3 g. infrastructure in 2010 and said g c h q the intelligence service was able to review that now we know that there were probably problems with that review so i think that
9:05 pm
that is going to play a role i can't imagine the u.k. moving forward with this kind of thing with the threat of intelligence sharing being at stake there are reports tonight that 10 downing street is trying to prevent trump from meeting with bricks it's yours during his visit i mean we know boris johnson today the more the main brigadiers launched his campaign to be the next leader of the conservative party and the next prime minister is trump is he good or bad news for brics it i think as usual he's very polarizing so what he is doing you know he john bolton gave an interview to the sun i believe or the daily mail basically saying that we the united states was in support of a quick bragg's it and a clean break which sounds like a crash out possibility and the president likes that kind of thing as well he said you know if you don't get the deal you like you just walk away from the table obviously to some of the the core brags to tears that sounds like the red meat that they're looking for that kind of in live in them but for a majority of the u.k.
9:06 pm
who do find the president have a disfavor view of the us president this could is could backfire. visit to the u.k. last year if you remember it was supposed to be an official state visit but it was changed to a working visit at the last minute because there were so many concerns about massive protests against truong. what's different a year later well i mean i think that there are still going to be those protests the u.k. is walking a delicate tightrope it's the tightrope that german hunt was fucking in that statement it's inherent contradictions on the one hand they don't want to insult the united states the u.s. and u.k. have a unique relationship united by language by an alliance this is the 70th anniversary of the d.-day this right invasion this week big big deal for both sides you know the victory in world war 2 that was really both countries at their best and i think that putting it off further when it was obvious to everybody on both sides of the
9:07 pm
atlantic that the state visit was warranted especially given this the residence of the store and then they just couldn't do it but to be honest to the extent that they were able to remove a lot of the. difficulties you have a prime minister again is a lame duck essentially and other symbolic resonance this is the best time to do it if it has to be done there's concern that we're not going to see the big protests to more of what we saw last year when trump was in the u.k. do you see the u.k. suffering from. rage fatigue i think both sides of the atlantic are suffering from some degree of outrage fatigue you know and to to maybe to the detriment of those populist who drive this. with president trump you know he has thrived on outrage that has been a driver that's really inner thighs is based and inner thighs his opposition but
9:08 pm
what we're seeing is there are resilience people are starting to just get used to it they're as you said there's this fatigue so what he's done in the united states is be more outrageous he said you know he's been more capricious you look at the announcement of 5 percent tariffs on mexico for example this was done in opposition from all of his advisors and. shared question so they're turning up the dial on this stuff and but the truth is the u.k. 3 years of brags that we're coming to the 3rd year anniversary of the referendum put back pushed back dates for the the actual departure date and new leadership election they're just tired of politics which we can understand ties him or her with the ask ms of germany ties is always good to get your insights thank you with an eye doctors in sudan say that the death toll from a military crackdown on protesters has reached at least 30 the sudanese army use deadly force to disperse a sit in in the capital khartoum public prosecutors there have now reportedly
9:09 pm
opened an investigation into the military's actions demonstrators have been protesting for months demanding that the generals hand over power to a civilian government back in april the military overthrew president omar al bashir ending his brutal 30 year long rule. don't fwy it violent escalation has a golf cart to. police and army chased demonstrators through the streets. gunfire and explosions have shocked their protests breaking out the peaceful sit in . but even as they flee the bullets the protesters mock the army and repeat their demands for change. freedom peace and justice civilian rule this month chant these protestors. others and circled by the troops plead with the military to hold their fire.
9:10 pm
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 calling the crackdown a bloody massacre and said i cannot even evacuate the bodies of they said they are calling them martyrs. hundreds of the injured are being treated in cartoons row 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. 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.
9:11 pm
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. 5 or earlier we spoke with. from the international crisis group years. of the situation in sudan. i think this is a very significant is alicia fortunately has been coming for a couple of weeks what we see is that this situation in sudan was not totally sold by the oil almost assured of what it was that that if you got it up there it jim was replaced but there it remains firmly in place and. these remain very unwilling to use of that money and the protests and then allow this to be answer to the control of the government this is a very grim escalation it calls full suit intervention but unfortunately we don't
9:12 pm
really see things improving day off we can you know the peace and security council and others need to step in tell the leader of family that date that a military coup is not a political way to run a. country but most importantly what is needed now is to put into closer restraint and talk firing on the protest that's what's critical and that was merida would see that with the international crisis group speaking with us earlier here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world italy's prime minister giuseppe conte says he will resign if the 2 parties in the governing coalition do not stop squabbling the far right league party and the populist 5 star movement have been arguing for months over a range of issues who has no party affiliation says he now wants a clear and speedy response a court in sweden has rejected

a supply of. problem the federal aviation administration says that the cracks in the wing slats on result of quote improper manufacturing process but then again alternately it puts boeing again into a questionable position if so how serious that is this latest problem i mean the passengers not going to be worried about whether who the supplier is the passenger was no is their braids right i mean the f.a.a. says that a complete failure of a leading edge would not result in the loss of the aircraft ultimately the plane going down bought because of this one particular issue nevertheless the risk remains that a failed part of his he could lead to damage of the aircraft in flight. it is an issue that from from a carrier's perspective you do want to take care of but then it is an issue that i think can be a result of the question remains when will boeing's grounded 737 max
9:17 pm
fleet be able to take off again your guess is as good as mine brant or for that matter as good as the boeing c.e.o.'s gets dull and then says he's certain that the 737 max will fly again this year he just doesn't know when i mean there has been speculation about june i mean we are into june now there's no talk of it flying again there's the. talk about august which then again would deprive airlines of using the plane in the in the traffic heavy. vacation months throughout the summer what we do know is that the f.a.a. has not approved boeing's update for the 70 software updates when some 30 some tiny macs so far there's even talk about the f.a.a. rejecting one of the versions that boeing put in a boeing stresses it has done almost 300 test flights with the software which turned out fine what is certain is though that as long as the fleet is grounded boeing has a massive problem has been have been orders posted for the 737 next since the

9:19 pm
still committed to the grand coalition the future of the grand coalition depends on its performance the performance was not very good so far and. if we will still have a grand coalition around christmas is open it depends on. the question whether we get a compromise on carbon tax on how to run a concept to fight global warming as well as a minimum pension for working people who have worked for 35 years and all these questions have to be answered in a very convincing way otherwise the grand coalition is not justified anymore. and that was the senior s.p.d. lawmaker thomas over month speaking with us earlier in china the upcoming 30th anniversary since the deadly tiananmen square crackdown is being marked with
9:20 pm
silence the chinese government's crackdown in and around tiananmen square in 1809 came to be symbolized by this iconic image of one man blocking a tank from advancing for weeks students had occupied the space demanding economic and political reforms and eventually officials had enough they declared martial law and the military moved in beginning of the early hours of june 4th soldiers fired on civilians as to miss range from a few 100 to several 1000 people killed the movement was successfully suppressed and its memory has also been suppressed in china this is important 1400000000 people do not have ready access to the facts about what happened in tiananmen square beijing has never shown any remorse or given
9:21 pm
a clear account of exactly what happened that day a single day in 1989 completely changed life photos taken years before the massacre show a young family in the 1980 s. with her small son and her husband mingle he was shot 30 years ago on june 4th 1989 and died in hospital his was just one of hundreds possibly thousands of deaths that night. the massacres the worst thing that has ever been done to people in this country the government hasn't answered the question of what happened on june 4th nor has it apologized and i regret that very much had it in. not only has the government never apologized it refuses to talk about it. officially these images do not exist they are taboo.
9:22 pm
in the spring of 1989 hundreds of thousands of chinese took to the streets of beijing to demand reforms and freedom. the uprising against the communist leadership was spearheaded by students. was one of their leaders was valar k.c. who was $21.00 at the time he now lives in what he calls exile in taiwan. this is how he appeared on chinese state media back then today he is hardly known in china. if you look. my name search into let's say i do the chinese version of google i don't exist try and his government have decided to wipe. this phrase of the his for completely searches on chinese websites bring up no links or references to vo r k she or 989
9:23 pm
only a dubious article with the title tianna man massacre a myth. it's the same with school textbooks $989.00 the uprising the deaths all absent. the evening news on june 4th was mostly state propaganda but one detail belied the truth the anchors wore black to signify sorrow and sympathy about the deaths after the broadcast the female anchor doocy on was barred from ever presenting the news again the official forgetting have begun. you've ha whose husband died in 1909 is working against this forced amnesia she wants to remember june 4th and regularly meets others who lost loved ones that day but they say the state is bullying and watching them well. if everyone in this country had access to
9:24 pm
information about what happened they'd be furious but the government has concealed it for 30 years just because young people today know very little about it doesn't mean it didn't happen eventually it will turns out that indeed it did happen but the subject is off limits for the chinese leadership forgetting and suppression instead of remembering silence and no apology but not everyone is playing along. well you might not think of it as an olympic sport but dancing could make the 2024 pairs. ever it's one of 4 new sports being suggested for the games olympics chief thomas bach is a fan of breakdancing dizzying choreography but others are not so convinced that break dancing belongs in the. great dance battle is raging at this recreation center near paris.
9:25 pm
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 almost 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. cool. 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 picks. 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.
9:26 pm
new york. and many here in the east and paris suburbs associate the elim picks 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. for the chill that's going up really need something like the olympic games for fulfillment i don't think so and. they say no satellites but then moves would be a real draw. we would certainly be watching all right here's a reminder the top stories we're following for you u.s. president donald trump has met queen elizabeth the ad from the start of a state visit to the u.k. thousands of demonstrators are expected to turn out across london and other cities in britain to protest that is. you're watching the w.
