as in today an official state visit tonight there's toasting at a state banquet and that is too much for some to stomach tonight pomp and protest in the u.k. for the u.s. president to some say would like to be a king himself i'm burnt off and this is the day. we're going to put on a great show for him because america's all places style i thrashed the mistake would be tough to trust him because it's not the tool about the record of human rights this is of a president who we've got east is being very controversial and i'm very comforted he is somebody does record this in races and i think you got to put these things besides remember this is a very special moment in our relationships specialty records i could go through the
6:03 am
cracks of the old. president's record celebrating 75 years peace and prosperity because of the partisanship and the usa. also coming up remembering what happened at tiananmen square 3 decades ago beijing now says the crackdown was correct but i witnesses maintain it was a massacre and it was wrong. when they started shooting i thought they would shoot in the air or use rubber bullets. should all then i saw somebody with a bullet hole in his belly people were rushing the wounded on bikes into the hospital she you know that's when i understood they were really killing people all of. our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the u.s. president in the united kingdom on an invitation. asian from the queen today donald
6:04 am
trump finally got what he had been wanting for quite some time last year his 1st visit to britain was changed last minute from an official state visit to a working visit due to concern over widespread protests you may remember that giant trump baby balloon over london well fast forward to the present trump is back in the u.k. protests along with that balloon are expected tomorrow the only difference this visit is an official state visit with buckingham palace rolling out the red carpet with all the pomp and circumstance the royals can offer the queen it was even ready when trump greeted her today with a fist bump. it was a right royal welcome for the u.s. president prince charles and his wife camilla greeted donald trump and 1st lady millennia after they touched down on the lawn at buckingham palace this is trump's 2nd visit to the united kingdom since he became president but it's his 1st official
6:05 am
state visit meaning he gets the full royal treatment commentators marveled at the composure of the queen. ahead of his visit to the u.s. president had stood up control of a seat by commenting on british politics after saying he wanted to talk trade on his visit he hinted at a possible meeting with nodule for raj the leader of the brics it party every year for. what. they want. to make matters worse as a force one touched down on british soil trumps twitter finger couldn't resist having a dig at london's lord mayor. subject as being 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. protesters outside buckingham palace don't
6:06 am
like what they see as trump's interference in british politics and they don't want him as an ally much larger protests are planned for tuesday including the much anticipated return of the trump baby blimp. are those talk about this visit and to 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 an 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 is similar. all true to the queen in the u.k. it's a 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 queen etc but of course trump brings his own flavor to these kind of things and obviously when he
6:07 am
was on the plate right over he started a twitter war with city con 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 their dislike in just a moment but i want to ask you 1st about intelligence sharing the u.s. has threatened to withhold intelligence information from the u.k. if britain moves forward with allowing the chinese firm who helped 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 on
6:08 am
our off 5 eyes partners and we'll take a decision in the present national interest at the appropriate time of course we will listen to what the americans have set we take that on board very carefully but we will make a decision in the british national interest so. the foreign minister. if i'm wrong we won't let the u.s. tell us what to do but we will do what the us tells arrangement it was very gingerly formulated 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. 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 then said g c h q the intelligence service was able to review that now we know that there are probably problems with that review so i
6:09 am
think that 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 to day one of 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 bred city 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 brands the tears that sounds like the red meat that they're looking for that kind of an livens them but for majority of the u.k.
6:10 am
who do find the president have a disfavor a view of the us president this could is could backfire in terms visit to the u.k. last year and 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 trump. 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
6:11 am
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 suit 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 in our dies is based and inner dies his opposition but what
6:12 am
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. wooden chair cushion so they're turning up that 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 date 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 asked mrs to germany ties was always good to get your insights thank you. it has been 30 years since this image was seared into our collective
6:13 am
memory that iconic photo of a lone man facing down a row of armored tanks defiance against the brutal crackdown at tiananmen square when chinese soldiers shot and killed thousands of their unarmed fellow citizens in the spring of 1909 students occupied the square demanding new reforms and freedoms from the communist government but their hopes of economic change social change greater freedom of speech and less corruption it hit a nerve in the regime the chinese government declared martial law and in the early hours of june 4th troops moved in and brutally ended the pro-democracy movement shocking the world now just yesterday for the 1st time a chinese government spokesman said that the crackdown in $1809.00 had been correct a stark departure from decades of policies attempting to keep the event out of history books and punishing those who commemorate the event now despite all of that
6:14 am
there are people doing their best to keep the memory of the tiananmen square massacre a law. in 1909 i was a 4th year student in university. who was a book publisher in hong kong. so i wasn't very interested in society because. he was living in beijing. were to say i just went to tiananmen square to have a look everybody went there i didn't expect anything special about bush because in april we all bank of former general secretary of the communist party dr impromptu memorial was at the square became the focus for student rallies the reform minded leader had been 2 years before school of which any we're not historians but we firmly believe time will bring justice to him. juden saw him as a victim of

a corrupt party really soon they started raising more issues who are living standards human rights corruption. the public mourning turned into the biggest anti-party demonstrations in china's history. i had had an argument with my father he had already said if the students continue this might lead to bloodshed when i was like all the students nobody thought about bloodshed. his father bowed to him was then a high ranking official. we didn't know this would end in such a tragedy sequel freedom but i knew it was a very difficult situation that might bring many conflicts to life to talk. about on had been a close aide to jobs the young the successor to go by the young was also very formal and wanted dialogue with the students but you had to write.
6:16 am
the conservative prime minister favored a hardline approach. i wasn't interested in my father's work especially what he was doing in the government to me he was part of that negative phenomenon i thought the communist party people for what the sun did not know was that another man was in control behind the scenes being the architect behind china's economic reforms we had fish in the retired from most due to. chair the whole country near the students knew that it was done shopping who had ousted until years before. at the end of april the undone made a decision they labeled the demonstrations and counter-revolutionary turmoil via the party newspaper people stayed and ignited this news and. more than 1000000 people took to the streets students and citizens alike i

today's china are too afraid to talk about i think it's right. there what i for you or for me the events of 989 are still like an open wound. left the country shortly after he became a publisher of critical books about the communist party many of them about 989. when i saw my father again in 1997 we found that we agreed on many things to show that something i'm very happy about and that most people my age envy me for more than most of them don't have a connection to their parents i don't have this problem that's great luck to what i'm able to do with here water. lives in beijing and is a vocal critic of the party humane zonda constant surveillance. with a culture where they expelled me from the party they liberated me my brain and my
6:21 am
mouth are free today father and son cannot talk often about who is allowed to visit once a year and some years not at all. well if you've ever visited japan and you know that it is a country of many contradictions take sex for example the subject seems to be out in the open with pornographic comic books sold at nearly every convenience store but japan is also very conservative parents tiptoe around the subject of the birds and the bees a survey released last year suggest sex education at school is minimal leaving many students confused and in the dark. it's no ordinary school day here at tokyo's conan middle school. sex education isn't today's lesson plan in what is probably the industrialized world least in lightened
6:22 am
country when it comes to human sexuality classes separated boys here girls the air and not all of them will get advice from their parents you know hannah and i can talk about it at home and i don't have any older siblings either many. in class we don't go into much detail with some of the topics but this plenty of information online much of it is h.b. strict but it's easy to get around so we look at it there. are. the 9th graders are in the midst of puberty surrounded by anime and online pornography but their teachers do not actually talk about the to be topics of sexual intercourse contraception or abortion sex ed in japanese schools is complex but it seems seems to be to pass on as little information as possible. the fear is that if they know too much it will lead to an increase in unwanted
6:23 am
pregnancies many girls are getting pregnant because they're getting the wrong information. if sexuality isn't properly discussed at home then i think it's up to the schools to fulfil that role. but the ban on frank discussion in school creates a vacuum of knowledge that can result in sexual behavior disorders ignorance over birth control methods sexually transmitted disease and even unwanted pregnancies in order to protect their children from this fate these mothers are attending as workshop the former nurse talks openly she asks what do i tell my child if he or she frequently masturbates our views per not graffiti at a young age many are too embarrassed even to voice questions like these. many mothers have problems talking about it they never experienced it when they were kids but they were this and this relaxed environment mothers play games to

6:25 am
old now understands the basics of human sexuality but it's not just about the physical act feelings are also involved. understanding is hard to achieve in a claim it where young people are too shy to ask questions parents keep silent and schools up hold the status quo. but these mothers have understated that they are after all talking about the most natural thing in the world. but which city here in europe is considered to be a dream for cyclists if you said you'd be wrong but you're not far off the mark the dutch city of proudly carries the title of the most cycling friendly in the world but the tracks wasn't always a friend to 2 wheels. australian kylie fun dummy could not imagine life without
