Sudan military crackdown leaves dozens dead, and iTunes to bite the dust as Apple replaces it with three separate apps.

This is TRT World’s Daily News Brief for Tuesday, June 4th.

UNSC to discuss Sudan military crackdown

The UN Security Council will discuss Sudan after the ruling military’s deadly crackdown on pro-democracy protesters.

Sudanese troops opened fire and killed more than 35 people at the sit-in in Khartoum on Monday, witnesses said.

The military council cancelled all agreements with protest leaders and plans to call elections within nine months.

Silence, security in Beijing on 30th Tiananmen anniversary

China marked 30 years since the Tiananmen Square crackdown on Tuesday with extreme silence and security.

China also accused US Secretary of State Pompeo of smearing its domestic policies in his statement saluting Tiananmen protesters.

Chinese tanks and soldiers snuffed out pro-democracy protests in 1989.

The death toll from the crackdown has never been made public by China.

Turkey committed to Russian missile defence deal - ErdoganTurkey will not take a step back from the S-400 missile deal with Russia, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

Turkey’s desire to buy the Russian S-400 system has been a major source of contention between NATO.

Erdogan said Ankara would consider if Washington made a worthwhile offer on the US Patriot missile system but none had been made so far.

Semenya free to run without medication while case in court

Double Olympic champion Caster Semenya will be able to run in her favoured 800 metres event without medication to lower her testosterone.

A Swiss court ordered the athletics’ governing body to suspend its testosterone rules until it finishes arguments in the case.

The IAAF’s controversial testosterone-lowering rules apply to female athletes with typical male XY chromosome pattern.

Apple iTunes’ swan song

And finally,

Apple has announced the demise of its iTunes platform.

The software transformed the way people buy and listen to music after its launch in 2001.

Diehard iTunes fans will now have to make do with Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and Apple TV.
