Trump baby balloon takes to the skies as the UK protests US President's visit

This blimp finally took to the skies over London.

"Donald Trump's not welcome here" rings through the UK as hundreds of thousands protest his visit.  

Britain’s “Stop Trump” protests kicked off in earnest on Thursday evening with the highlight of the rallies, a giant balloon depicting the US President as a large baby holding a cell phone, taking to the skies over Parliament Square in London on Friday morning. So far, it's believed over 250,000 people have marched in the English capital.

“This is a victory,” Leo Murray, an activist and creator of the balloon, told the New York Times.
“People love it, he hates it and its driven him out of London.”

The boss of Ethiopian Airlines has called for the grounding of all Boeing's 737 Max 8 aircraft until it is established they are safe to fly. Many countries have already suspended the plane after one the airline's jets crashed on Sunday minutes after take-off, killing all 157 people on board. Tewolde Gebremariam told the BBC that although the exact causes were still unknown, there were similarities to a Lion Air crash last October. But US officials say the jet is safe.
