authorities are trying to have them as far away as they can from donald trump. it is going to be sealed off for protesters. that makes them verynhappy. itit keeps them m away from the present. brett: we e do understand d that hohot air balloon of a be t trup wiwill be flying tomorrow. thank you, birgit. trump was given a warm welcome by the british royalty. he has been embroiled in a spat with the mayor of london. on saturday, the mayor wrote an editorial comparing his governing style to that of 20th-century fascists. he said it was on british to roll out the red carpet for trump. yes a released a video at the beginning with elle magazine criticizing trump ahead d of ths visisit. here's what he sasaid. >> president trump, if you are watching this, your values and what you stand for are the

close to the street and we will close everytything ain, , god willlling. a day of violence by the army may have broken up the protesters sit in. it seems to have simply dispersed the resistance throughout the city. brett: earlier, we spoke withbrett: someone frorom the international crisis group. here's his assesessment of thee situation.n. >> this is a s significant escalation, which unfortunately has s been coming for a a couplf weeks. what wee see is that the situation in sudan was not a result by the fall of omar al-bashir. whwhat happened was that the figurehead of the regime was replaced, but the regime remains in place and unfortunately, they remain unwilling to yield to the demands of the protesters and allow the civilians to take control of the government.

unfortunately, we don't really see things improving. the african union, the peace and security council and others need to step in, tell the leaders that a military coup is and intolerarable way to run a country.y. momost importantly, what is need now is foror everybody t to calf restraint and stop firing on the protesters. that is what is most critical. brett: here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world. italy's prime minister, says that he will resign. it is the two parties in the governing coalition don't stop squabbling. they have been arguing for months over a range of issues. he says he now wants a clear and speedy response. a court in sweden has rejected a

pushed in azerbaijan airline into postponing an order for 10 of the jets. >> from cash cow to billion-dollar liability, boeing 737 models are back in the headlines, and once again, it is for the wrong reasons. after the grounding of the maxes, the news that the current model, the seven 37 next generation could have defective parts. boeing says up to 148 parts could be faulty, including wing components, which enable people -- plane to fly. the company has been given 10 days to replace the suspicious parts. while boeing says the risk of a crash has not risen, the latest revelation has dealt a further blow to its reputation. one boeing 737 max has a list price of $100 million. boeing has 4636 outstanding orders for the aircraft. the company could stand to lose

over $4.6 billion in orders. the first airlines have already bailed on boeing. on monday, azerbaijan airlines postponed their order worth $1 billion. an increasing number of customers losing confidence in boeing, the giant is likely to face even more turbulent times. brett: i want to bring in our journalists with dw business. the 737 has problems to the max. now we are talking about faulty wing parts. >> it rains, but it pours. boeing is losing a major contract. fresh troubles with the 737 brilliant look at the share price today. start of trading, 3% down. boeing shares lost 20%, a quarter of their value within the last three months. the most recent problem, the technical problem is not boeing's fault.

it's a supply problem. the federal animation -- aviation amateurish and says the cracks on the wing slats are the result of in -- improper manufacturing process. it puts boeing in a questionable position. brett: how serious is this later problem? the passengers aren't worried about the supplier. they want to know about if the airplane is safe. chris: they say a complete failure of this part would not resusult in the loss of an aircraft. but because of this one particular issue. nevertheless, the risk remains that a failed part could lead to damage of the aircraft in flight. it is an issue, that from a carrier's perspective, you want to take care of. it's an issue that can be resolved. brett: the question remains. when will boeings -- boeing's grounded fleet be able to take

off again? chris: your guess is as good as mine. the ceo says he is certain the 737 max 8 will fly again this year. he just does not know when. there has been speculation about june. there is no talk of it flying again. there has been talk about august, which would deprive airlines of using the plane and the traffic heavy vacation months. what we do know is that the faa has not improved its update. there is talk about the faa rejecting one of the versions that boeing put in. boeing stresses it has done almost 300 test flights with the software, which turned out fine. what is certainin is thatat as g as thehe fleet iss grounded, bog has a massive problem. there have been no orders posted for the 737 max 8 since the latest deadly crash. compensation claims are mounting.

brett: the grounded plane is a planane that is not making any money. thank you. the future of german chancellor angela merkel's government is hanging by a thread tonight. her junior partner steps down after her social democrats parties disastrous showing in last week's european elections. merkel has passed she is going to stick with the coalition. the social democrats are trying to find a new leader or leaders. >> after the upheaval of their party leaders resignation, it was time for germany's social democrats to put on the brakes on monday. time to stop, re-think and decide what kind of social democratic party the spd wants to be. a trio of leaders has taken charge. >> the party it -- is neither an extra can or without leadership. there will be new roads ahead.

>> after just 14 months in the job, andrea nahles left on monday. >> hello. i just said goodbybye to the spd exexecutive party cocommittee. i have resigned. i also wanted to personally thank you for years of good teamwork. you have spent many hours here. thank you for that. take care. >> her resignation has consumed the german media. now, while the social democrats do their own self f search -- soul-searching, there's a bigger question on voters minds. how will the coalition government of the social democrats and chancellor merkel's conservatives continue? >> either it will be the end of a grand coalition if it continues, or they will change something and we will see what the new plan is. then, maybe. >> this is the end of the grand coalition. >> the earthquake is rattling

the entire german government. on the sidelines of the post election summit, it was all smiles from chancellor merkel as she vowed to push on with h her ever fragile coalition. >> of course, we have to respect the ways in which spd has to make its decisions. from the conservative side, it is clear there is a lot to do in our opinion and the ability to work is not only desirable, but imperative. >> >> crisis avoided for now. with predicted losses in eastern state elections this fall, fresh national elections could come sooner than merkel was hope. >> in china, the upcoming 30th anniversary since the deadly tiananmen square crackdown is being marked with silence. the chinese government's crackdown in and around tiananmen square in 1989 came to be symbolized by this iconic image of one man blocking a tanks advance.

for weeks, students had occupied the space, demanding economic and political reforms. eventually, officials had had enough. the declared martial law and the military moved in. in the early hours of june 4, soldiers fired on civilians, estimates range from a few hundred to several thousand people killed. the movement was successfully suppressed. it's memory has also been suppressed in china. 1.4 billion people do not have access to the facts about what happened in tiananmen square. beijing has never shown any remorse, nor given any clear account of what happened that day. >> a single day in 1989 completely changed her life. photos taken years before the massacacre show a young family n the 1980's. she, with her small son and her husband. he was shot 30 years ago on june 4, 1989, and died in hospital.

his was just one of hundreds, possibly thousands of deaths that night. >> the massacre is the worst thing that has ever been done to people in this country. the government has not answered the question of what happened on june 4, nor has it apologize, and i regret that very much. >> not o only has the governrnmt nenever apologized, i it refuseo talk about it. officially, these images do not exist. they are taboo. >> 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. one of their leaders was 21 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 me up, my name, if you search into the chinese government -- version of google, i do not exist. the chinese government has decided to wipe out the face of history completely. >> searches on chinese websites bring up those links or references to him or 1989. only a dubious article with the title tiananmen massacre: a method. -- a m myth. it is the same witith school tet looks -- textbooks. 1989, the uprising, ththe death, all absent. >> the evening news on june 4 was mostly state propaganda. one detail belied the truth.

the acres wore black to signify sorrow and sympathy about the deaths. after the broadcast, the female anchor was barred from ever presenting the news again. the official forgetting has begun. this woman, whose husband died, is working against this forced amnesia. she wants to remember june 4, and regularly meets others who lost loved ones that day. they said the state is bullying and d watching them. >> if everyone in this country had access to information about what happened, they would be furious. the government has concealed it for 30 years. just because young people today know very little about it does not mean it did not happen. >> indeed, it did happen. the subject is off-limits for the chinese leadership. forgetting and suppression instead of remembering, violence

and no apology. not everyone is playing along. brett: it did happen. you might not think of it as england export, but breakdancing, it could make the 2020 for paris games. it is one of four new sports been suggested for the games. the lyrics chief is a fan of breakdancing. others are not so convinced that breakdancing belongs in the olympics. >> a break dance battle is raging at this recreation center near paris. it is one of around 1500 such competitions held throughout france each year. >> there are top rocks, footwearar, power moves. you have to be fast. >> france is one of the leading countries worldwide for breakdance. we do a lot of things differently here. our style is very technical and musical and we try out a lot of new things.

>> there are several thousand break dancers in france. some make a living from it. it could even feature as a discipline of the paris 2024 olympics. >> the olympics would bring us more recognition. they would make it better known across the world. beyond just the breakdance community. >> not everyone likes the idea. breakdance started as a subculture in 1970's new york. many here in the eastern paris suburbs associate the olympics with big business, doping and corruption, no place for them. >> it is in a different sphere. >>it is all about governments. it is a giant machine. it is too highbrow for us. >> it is not ok for breakdance to bow to the olympics.

criteria that are too narrow would destroy the dance culture. >> do we really need something like you olympic games for fulfillment? i don't think so. >> they are artists, they say, not athletes. their moves would be a real draw at the olympics. brett: the south african runner will not need to take testosterone reducing medication to compete, at least for now. that is after a swiss court suspended a recent ruling. last month, the olympic 800 meter challenge -- champion lost a challenge to the court of arbitration for sport and had been told she could only compete if she medically reduced or testosterone level. she said today she was painful to the judges for suspending that decision. she will be able to compete until the next court date on the 25th of june. here is a reminder of the top stories we are following for you. u.s. president donald trump has begun a state visit to the u.k..
