Presidential Inauguration Parade BBC News Special

Welcome back to Washington. I am Katty Kay bringing you this day of

celebration. He looked in relaxed mood ahead of the ceremony showing

no obvious signs of nerves before taking the oath of office, a quick

thumbs up to his supporters. Past presidents were there as well as

Donald Trump's defeated rival, Hillary Clinton. They all came to

witness him being formally sworn in as President of America. Preserve,

protect and defend. The Constitution of the United

States. The constitution of the United States. So help me God. So

help me God. Congratulations, Mr President.

In his inaugural address, Donald Trump promised the assembled crowd

that America should unite, and he will make America great again. And

you can see the live pictures now of Andrews Air Force Base, just outside

Washington, where Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have arrived on an

official helicopter to say goodbye to their members of staff. Then they

will get on a plane that looks remarkably like airports one, but

because it's no longer the president travelling, it's no longer called

Air Force One. This is a very emotional day for presidents as they

leave office. He may be relieved after eight very busy years, and a

gruelling election campaign to be leaving office. There he is, Barack

Obama. And his wife, Michelle Obama, coming down the steps of the

helicopter. Issuing the umbrella that is on offer. He has told

Americans that he will be quiet for a moment now, he and his wife will

take time and sit back and not be heard from, leaving space for the

new president to take over and command the international and

national spotlight. They say goodbye to people who have served them for

the last 80 as, many who they will know personally, the military and

our force personnel there. He had seen the president of from Andrews

Air Force Base as he has gone on foreign trips. He has worked with

these people for eight years, and now he says goodbye to them, thanks

them for their services. This is a tradition of departing presidents

will stop they have moments, all the White House staff will be gathered

at building, and he will take time to address thank them. An emotional

time for White House staff, because it's not just that he is leaving

office, but that the transfer of power is so complete to the other

side, to the Republican side, and the Democrats are now on the back

foot in Washington and in the White House. And that the transition of

power that not have been more complete. Let's have a quick listen

to Donald Trump as he took the oath of office just over an hour ago on

the steps of the Capitol, behind me. Please raise your right hand and

repeat after me, I don not John Trump do solemnly swear.

I Donald don Trump do solemnly swear.

That I will faithfully execute. That I will faithfully execute.

The office of president of the United States.

The office of the president of the United States.

And well, to the best of my ability. Well, to the best of my ability.

Preserve, protect and defend. Reserve, protect and defend.

The Constitution of the United States.

The Constitution of the United States.

So help me God. So help me God.

Congratulations, Mr President. The moments when the transfer of

power was complete. He went on to get an inaugural address that was a

rallying cry for change in this country, a direct address to his

supporters, saying the power is being taken away from Washington and

handed back to you, and from now on, it will be only America first.

January 20 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the

rulers of this nation again. APPLAUSE

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

Everyone is listening to you now. You came by the tens of millions to

become part of a historic movement, the likes of weight the world has

never seen before. That's the likes of which. At the centre of this

movement is a crucial conviction that a nation exists to serve its

citizens. Americans, want great schools for their children, safe

neighbourhoods for their families, and great jobs for themselves. These

are just and reasonable demands of righteous people and a righteous

public. But for too many of our citizens, a different reality

exists. Mothers and children, trapped in poverty, in our inner

cities. Rusted-out factories, scattered like tombstones across the

landscape of our nation. An education system, flush with cash,

but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all

knowledge. And the crying, and the gangs, and the drugs that have

stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much on realise

potential. -- unrealised potential. This carnage stops right here and

stopped right now. APPLAUSE

We are one nation, and their pain is our pain.

Their dreams are our dreams, and their success will be our success.

We share one heart, one home and one glorious destiny. The oath of office

I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

APPLAUSE For many decades, we've enriched

foreign investor Ray at the expense of American investors.

Subsidise the armies of other countries, while allowing for the

very sad depletion of our military. We've defended other nations'

borders, wild or refusing to defend our own.

Let's go back to Andrews Air Force Base where Barack Obama is about to

address White House staff members. He promises he's about to become it

is now he's leaving office, but that is one last time we will hear from

him, which is now as he addresses White House staff, thanks them as he

says goodbye. It is gruelling working in the White House, we heard

earlier today from a former member of the Bush White House who says she

ended up sleeping on a sofa in the Wetwang halve the time because the

hours are so long. So fit -- server in the west wing.

BAND PLAYS THE AMERICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM.

Barack Obama, mouthing the words to national anthem, singing along to

the Star Spangled Banner. This is a moving and difficult

moment for the Obamas. They are leaving office, and in some way is,

shedding the cares of the presidency must be a relief, and I'm short that

vacation in California is going to be a welcome relief, but you can't

help but feel that this has also been a tough day for them, and you

can see it on Michelle Obama's phase as she says goodbye to Washington

and the White House staff, knowing they are handing over to someone has

a very different philosophy to theirs, and is a very different type

of political animal from her husband, Barack Obama. They're

please be seated. Curious, Barack Obama addressing the

star. Hello, everybody! You know, Michelle

and I, we've really been milking this goodbye thing. So it behoves me

to be very reef. -- very brief. Yes, yes. I said before, and I will say

again, that when we started on this journey, we did so with an abiding

faith in the American people and their ability, our ability, to join

together and change the country. In ways that would make life better for

our kids and grandkids, that change didn't happen from the top-down, but

happened from the bottom up. It was met sometimes with scepticism and

doubt. Some folks didn't think we could pull it off. There were those

who felt that the institutions of power and privilege in this country

were too deeply entrenched. And yet, all of you came together, in small

towns and big cities, our whole bunch of you really young, and you

decided to believe. You knocked on doors and made phone calls and you

talked to your parents, who didn't know how to pronounce Barack Obama,

and you got to know each other. And you went into communities that maybe

you never had thought about visiting, and met people that, on

the surface, seemed completely different from you. Didn't look like

you Alexis... So comic here we are seeing Donald

Trump now for stop the feed we are now reliant on coming into us. It

has switched from Barack Obama, quite right, of course, to the new,

the transition of power in one television feed! There you go. He's

still in Capitol Hill, waiting for his lunch. He has orders to sign,

which allow for his appointees to take over power. Some of them have

already been signed, but he has business to do. He says he wants to

hit the ground running, and intends to start work for the American

people straightaway. And here he is, starting work. But, it also, of

course, provides for a portrait. He is signing orders, these are staff

orders, not executive orders, as far as we understand. They are part of

the function of Government. It looks like he's still getting

instructions, maybe he doesn't quite know what it is a has to sign

either. That's Paul Ryan there, telling him what it is he needs to

do. And for the first time, he will be signing as president of the

United States. Go to.

Very good. Looking relaxed.

Mike Pence behind him, his vice president. Paul Ryan. Nancy Pelosi,

the Democratic leader of the house. Let's see if we can listen in.

Take that pen. This one I'm signing quite a few

times, folks. This is for Rex, I assume he was

approved today? LAUGHTER

It's coming, right, Chuck? It looks like you added some letters

in your naming? Donald Trump there, signing orders.

Mostly routine orders now, these are not executive, legislative orders,

they are to do with his staffing, and they have to be signed by him.

We saw Donald Trump there with his first business, his first

signatures, as resident of the United States. And watching him with

his family to those around him as well, the vice president, of course.

Let's go to Nick Bryants, you watch that inaugural address, I haven't

had a chance to speak to you since the present stop speaking, what did

you make of it? I thought it sounded like a campaign

speech, to be honest. So many of those things he said on the

campaign, speaking to the people on those rallies, the forgotten people,

as he called them. Sure, there were some flowery rhetoric about national

unity and living under the same sky and stars, and having the same

dreams. But so many of the themes he is dropped with a hallmark themes of

his campaign, the America-first rhetoric, which was the bedrock of

his political campaign. And that rest at the end, the make America

great again rest. Which, if you've been at any of the rallies, you've

heard repeated, and did more than anything else to help him win the

White House. The own creation was a bit like those rallies too. He was

heckled throughout his speech, many people wearing red caps. This was a

different and operation to normal, Donald Trump's speech sounded like a

continuation of his campaign. It was a strongly nationalistic

speech, he said, from now on, every decision he makes on trade, and

taxes, is going to be about putting America first, and in a sense, the

world will have to get used to this new world order. You see him there,

still waiting for his lunch, but before he has his lunch, he has to

sign various papers. Let's listen in.

LAUGHTER Price!

She doesn't get a vote. Tom prize, a he's going to be

terrific. LAUGHTER

Mr President, ... He did very well yesterday, Rick

Perry. He's better Ben Carson. -- Dan

Carson. This is a tough group of people.

They're learning the hard way. Education, writes? I know Chuck

wanted it. This is a rough group! Next. I think we're going to need

some more pens. Labour. Where's Kelly?

He's going to do a good job. OK, this is a person who's gotten

rave reviews, this is the Veterans Administration, I'll let you make

the trade. This is what a lot of people once,

John Kelly, he's a good man. Chuck, put the cap on, or you're

went to get your shirt stained. John Kelly. He should get something.

I getting some more pens back there? It's any core number.

I think Dan is a good man, right? So there you have Donald Trump,

signing orders that will allow his cabinet nominees to take up their

positions. They haven't been confirmed yet, they have to be

confirmed first of all by the Senate, once they're confirms, these

are the orders that will allow them to become the cabinet members. It's

the first thing the president - I was about to say President elect -

but the presidents, Donald Trump, is doing. We heard on being called

present -- Mr President by Nancy policy, the top Democrat in the

House of Representatives. This is a Republican tableau, there are a two

Democrats here, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, but otherwise this

represents the transfer of power not just from Barack Obama to Donald

Trump, but from the Democratic party to the Republican party as well. I'm

joined here by a former spokesperson of the Republican National

committee. They give very much for joining me. You watch the

inauguration and listen to the speech. As a former spokesperson of

it's public National committee, what did you make of it?

It was a short speech. That's not unusual, John F Kennedy's was very

short. The themes were what you have heard throughout the campaign and

the reasons why Donald Trump is now president. You heard a lot about

America first. It is important to know that a country should be

sovereign. But that a strong country is a strong ally, so I don't think

this is anything about saying we don't want to do business with other

countries - which he did reference in the

speech, saying this is not about being antagonistic to the world

start but we had to take care of business at home.

It is very different, I was thinking back to President Bush's second

address, which was an address in which the president spoke about

America are spreading democracy in the world. It was a globally

orientated speech. This was an American is heightened sense of

speech. It was an American-centred speech,

but goes back to Americans having concerned that we haven't paid

enough attention to our country, that's on the infrastructure.

And started with the Ward? That is true to an extent, focusing

not just on the economy, not that you don't just look abroad, but that

you are a stronger ally to your friends around the world. -- started

with the Iraq Ward. In what way can he set out to

achieve what he put forward in that is speech, he sets the bar high? He

does, he says -- he does, he says he will start immediately.

I think you will see him rolling back regulations that I believe, and

many people in this country believe, have put strains on the US economy,

or even stopping people who have jobs from getting the type of wages

that should be getting. I think you will see that immediately. That'll

be on things dealing with health repeal, environmental regulations, a

whole host of things I think you'll see him getting to work on very

soon, possibly today, certainly early next week.

Ebola watching this from around the world, seeing the American economy,

saying that my goodness, what's the problem? You've got good growth

compare to other countries, the dollar is strong.

Because 2%growth in our economy is not want to be.

Unemployment below 5%is not bad? When you peel back the covers and

look under the hood you realise that is because many people have dropped

out of the labour force and stopped looking for work. That is one

reason, when you see numbers like that, you say, why are people still

hurting? Donald Trump wrapping up this

section -- session of signing orders. Heading with members of

Congress to go for lunch. They're running a little behind. They have

this celebratory lunch that he and Mel Annie are sure will go to with

all the other members of his family. -- Mullaly trump will go to. It is a

tradition that pens are handed out after the signing. You see the

statues around the hall, and the Trump family will come in and enjoy

lunch with members of Congress. Let's get back to talking about the

agenda that Donald Trump has laid out, specifically this issue of

jobs. That was an oral speech about American jobs.

White micro that was what the focus of the speech was, and what he says

the focus of the speech will be. He says that many of those jobs that

have been lost, as you know, have not been lost because of trade or

immigrants, they've been lost because a computer chip has taken it

over? That's not going to change. The industrial world changes and

business changes and innovation changes, but that's defatted issue.

We have been looking at the United States corporate tax, which is much

higher than other parts of the world. If you go to places like

islands, for example, where we've lost many American companies setting

up headquarters in Ireland. It's greater islands, I don't own them

for that, but white we're trying to be more competitive when other

countries around the world want to set their headquarters up here two

that's been going on for a long time, it's not just about trade,

it's part of the equation. Do you think that manufacturing jobs

in America are going to come back in perhaps the way that Donald Trump

supporters believe they might do? Or is that era over?

Is it going to look like it did in the 1950s, no. I don't think that's

what people expected, what they do expect is for their elected

officials to do everything they can to make sure we have the best

economic environment in this country for US workers to survive. I think

many people don't believe that's what lawmakers of either party have

been doing. There are mines, Donald Trump is a Republican presidents,

indeed, but hears that core a disrupter. I, as a Republican, but

really as a Conservative, think that is good, this town needs shaking up,

both parties were too set in their ways, but have special interests

they too often cater to. Donald Trump has made it clear time and

again, and I hope he governs this way, that of the American people

will be his special interests, and he began his sweet that way.

Exactly what he said in his inaugural speech. The Democrats are

on the back foot for the next four years, they have a lot of rebuilding

work to do in their party, but the arrogance be a lot of Republican

members in Congress and the Senate saying, we agree with some of what

Donald Trump wants to do, but not all of it. In some ways, Donald

Trump is not a conservative Republican as they might define it?

When I look Donald Trump, and see what he said as he plays it out, I

think he's very much a pragmatist. As a Conservative, I'm not scared

about, because I think conservative ideas work.

I'm disco to interrupt you, this another important moment. Barack

Obama saying goodbye to the members of White House staff and their

families. This is a difficult moment for any president, George Bush went

to the same thing. Bittersweet.

Yes, I'm sure in some ways he's relieved to leave office, it's a

gruelling job, there's nothing else like the president of the item says

that a man's stamina. Eight years is enough!

We say often it we see how presidents have days when they leave

office, Obama looks great. He has high approval ratings, he

leaves office a popular man. I think that's a good thing, a good

thing for the transfer of power. The fact is people don't begrudge the

president and want a good transition. History to time and is,

ultimately, the way it's written about any president, that one day

out will be different from the way people are writing 20 years from

now. We mention approval ratings, Donald

Trump comes into office with historically low approval ratings

for a president elect, down in the 40%. In fact, his approval ratings

have dropped since the election, which is almost unheard of. How

concerned are you about that? You want your number is to be high,

but the polls haven't been right about Donald Trump for most of this

election season. Nobody thought it was going to be presidents, he

defied those thoughts. The matter what people think about him, he

wants to do a good job. Donald Trump's going into the hall

for the lunch. Hear someone, no matter what he says, he does watch

the polls. He will want to be popular.

I think he knows if he does do what he said he was going to do, he can

turn that around. I think he believes that family. I don't think

he's worries about the numbers today, because he hasn't had a

chance to govern yet. That's what starts as of right now, and think he

will say, ask me next week, asking after the first 100 days.

Narnia is there anything about his communication style, his use of

Twitter for example, which she would urge him to change? -- is there

anything? Absolutely no. One of the reasons he

was elected because the way he said it. He was not going to try and hide

behind words and one-liners and talking points. He said what he

thought. Even people who thought, that was front and centre, he said

what he thought. People know he is going to tell us what he thinks, and

also tell the folks down here at the Capitol. I think he's been very

straightforward, he's not going to do what... He said, I'm here to

represent you, and he's going to be tough on everybody. So there you

have it, Donald Trump coming into lunch, you can see his son Eric

standing right there, they've already come in, they are waiting

now for Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, for

the ceremonial lunch, and then the parade will begin, these

inauguration festivities are not over. For the moment, we will leave

you here from Capitol hill. You can watch the rest of this delicious

lunch. I know it involves lobster and

shrimp and beef. Even though Donald Trump himself

does not drink. Let's just take you back, as we were

hearing, Donald Trump and his family now...

Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin McCarthy, accompanied by Mrs

McCarthy. Attending this celebratory lunch for

the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump has already

signed some Executive orders, we saw them handing out different pens for

each order as is the tradition. And giving them to the members of his

team, there's Nancy Pelosi walking in there now. And just on the

Reuters news agency in the last couple of minutes, already in power,

Donald Trump now says he will develop a missile defence system

against Iran, North Korea, his administration intends to develop a

state-of-the-art defence system to protect against attacks from Iran

and North Korea. I think that's the first statement, posted on the

website within minutes of his inauguration. No more details about

where the system would differ from those already under development or

its costs or indeed how it will be paid for. These pictures live as we

can see from Capitol hill, Donald Trump about how to his first

celebratory lunch, having already signed his first Executive orders.

Meanwhile, back at Andrews Air Force Base, Barack Obama and Michelle

about to board that flight, the burden of office, the responsibility

of office now removed from him. This flight taking them down to

California for a few days -- a few days' rest, to catch up on some

sleep, the last flight for the former president Barack Obama,

Michelle, the former first lady. As they go down for a few days in

California. Barack Obama saying that in fact he will not be making any

comments, he's not going to comment on international matters for a few

weeks, but they will curiously and quite unusually be moving back to

Washington, because one of their daughters is in high school. So,

President Trump, first Lady Melania, about to attend but lunch -- that

lunch. Earlier, as he was signing those Executive orders, surrounded

by his children and grandchildren. Let's just listen.

Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States, Donald Trump

and Melania Trump. Well, as President Trump and Melania

go to the table, you can see Bill Clinton and Hillary, they will be

announced by the chairman and his wife at this lunch, and then there

will also be an indication -- and address.

Mr Vice President, honoured guests, welcome to this inaugural luncheon.

The joint Congressional committee has been pleased to host this lunch

at least since 1953 with President Eisenhower. In 1981 president

Reagan's first inauguration, the lunch took its current form and

moved to this grand Hall. It served until 1857 as the chamber of the

House of Representatives. The statues that line the walls of this

room are placed throughout the capital -- Capitol, and they

recognise important figures in our national history. The collection

doesn't change very often, but since this lunch was held the last time it

has had several additions. Rosa Parks is now in statuary Hall, and

she is seated rather than standing, as she should be. When she died in

2005, she was one of the few people who had never served in any public

office or served in the military to be laid in honour in their Capitol

rotunda. Another addition, the leader of the Green Revolution, this

was about his great efforts to feed people, demands in food production,

and he was really a leader in that area in talking -- and in talking to

the governor last night about what's going to happen as world food

doubles -- world food demand doubles in the next 45 years. Barry

Goldwater, an inspiration to a generation of Conservatives, was

added to Statuary Hall, and Thomas Edison of Ohio, who discovered more

than 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb until he discovered the one way

to make that light bulb. The painting in the middle of the room

is from a great Missouri artist, George Bingham, he did three

election series, the painting here, a three painting series, one was the

county election and this is "Verdict of the people." In the 1850s when

this was painted, often it was several days after the election

before the results were announced, and all kinds of people are in this

painting, people from all walks of life, people who are excited,

confused, people who wonder what's happened and people who wonder

what's going to happen, they are all there. Actually he painted this

painting about the same time that in this very room some of the least

successful debates in the history of our country were being held, and of

course we paid the price for not being able to find solutions. Now,

one of my favourite statues in the building is in a room that I have

here in the Capitol right now, I had it in the whips' office when I was a

whip. Nobody knows who it is. I don't mean nobody here can guess who

it is, I mean nobody knows who it is, and nobody's known since about

1930. Couldn't have been in the Capitol building more than about 100

years before people began to wonder who is this person? And I think it's

a great reminder that what we do here is a lot more important than

who we are. So we have worked in front of us, it is a wonderful

opportunity, it is a great day, and I am asking Barry Black, the

chaplain of the Senate, to come and give us our opening prayer. There

will now be a short prayer, we understand, and then the lunch will

start. And the menu, Maine lobster and Gulf shrimp, with a saffron

sauce and peanut crumble. Just to whet your appetite. Second course,

grilled seven Hills Angus beef with a dark chocolate and Juniper juice

and potato gratin, and then a chocolate souffle with Cherry

vanilla ice cream. Donald Trump himself a teetotaller, so his guests

-- his guests to having Californian champagne and Californian red and

white Chardonnay. And a black stallion 2012. But as I say, Donald

Trump does not drink, and neither do his children. Well, it is a little

under two hours since Donald Trump was sworn in as America's 45th

president... His family and the members of his Cabinet, with the

shield of your divine protection in favour. Made president Trump seek

your wisdom, justice and grace, leading with your strength, which

reaches out to those on life's margins. The lost, lonely, last,

least and left out. May he remember that those who would leave a legacy

of greatness must strive to become servants of all. Lord, inspire our

president to perform his God appointed duties, with such

reverence for you that his tenure will be like the sun, shining forth

on a cloudless morning, like a rainbow after a storm, and like the

singing of the birds at dawn. Bless our food and fellowship, we pray, in

your sovereign name, Ahmed. -- Amen. Lunch will be served. The address,

the prayer, the prayers, and now lunch. So Donald Trump, the 45th

president of the United States, with first lady Melania now, sitting down

to a lunch of Maine lobster and shrimp, with a saffron sauce and

peanut crumble and some Angus beef as well with a dark chocolate and

juniper juice. So, let's just take you back a few hours. As I say, the

inaugural oath, or the inauguration of Donald Trump, happened at that

two hours' ago, with the oath being sworn, 45 words long... Let's just

remind us of that both. The office of president of the United States.

The office of president of the United States. And will to the best

of my ability... Preserve, protect and defend... The Constitution of

the United States. The constitution of the United States. So help me

God. So help me God. Congratulations, Mr President. Well,

a moment that many never predicted when this race started, when Donald

Trump announced he would be standing as a candidate. The first thing he

did actually when he walked to the platform just before delivering that

oath was a thumbs up, and then after this oath, a rallying, nationalistic

speech, promising Americans who voted for him that he would always

put America first. Hear these words, he said, you will never be ignored

again. A campaign, he said, of buying American infrastructure,

creating jobs, and taking the focus away from the political class in

Washington and interesting power back with Americans outside the

capital. This gun salute, as is traditional, following his swearing

of the oath. Well, already in the last ten minutes or so, the first

policy announcement from the White House, it's about a missile defence

system to protect the country against any attacks from North Korea

or Iran. No detail about quite how much that would cost, or indeed

where it was going to be positioned. Let's just get some reaction though

now from two countries which have been playing very largely in this

campaign, and indeed in the new presidency.

Steve Rosenberg is in Moscow for us, and Will Grant joins us

What sort of reaction so far there? A lot of coverage here. The whole

ceremony was shown live on Russian state television, and I think a lot

of what Donald Trump said in his speech will have been music to

Moscow's is. Things like Donald Trump's pledge that the US will not

impose its lifestyle on anyone else, and his criticism that the US had

defended other nations' borders and not its own. Also his comments that

the US had spent trillions of dollars overseas, in other words, it

was time for America to focus on America. That will have struck a

chord here, because Moscow has long criticised US administrations for

interfering or meddling as the Russians often put it, in other

parts of the world and particularly in a part of the world that Russia

considers to be its sphere of influence, countries like Ukraine

and Georgia, and I suspect that after hearing that speech, Moscow

may well see an opportunity now to increase its influence or restore

its influence in the former Soviet space. One of the first policy

announcements was about this missile defence system. Not quite sure about

the cost, but when it comes to the actual defence spending and budget,

Donald Trump has made it pretty clear already that he wants to bring

reduction of nuclear weapons, although a few weeks beforehand, he

basically said he would match nuclear weapons with Russia as well.

Yes, I think the Russians were slightly confused by those mixed

messages, and they have been waiting for the Donald Trump to be sworn in

as president and see what his first steps will be. Missile defence is a

thorny issue, the defence shield that America has already been

installing in eastern Europe, Russia sees that particular missile shield

as a threat to its national security. And it's been one of the

many disagreements with -- between Moscow and Washington. OK. Steve,

thanks very much. Will in Mexico City, presumably a lot of coverage

there as well. But some sort of trepidation about what the future

holds no? Absolutely, for everything that Steve mentions that was music

to Moscow's is, there were alarm bells in Donald Trump's address,

being sounded in Mexico. The mention of American carnage, about the

shuttered factories, scattered like tombstones across the country. That

from this day forward it would be America first, and that they would

follow two simple rules, by American, higher American. That is

very worrying if you are in Mexican labour are all working in a Mexican

factory producing goods for the United States. Particularly for US

car firms, I'm thinking of the recent closure of a $1.6 billion

plant, car Assembly plant by Ford, which was going to employee a

significant number of people in that community, but has now redirected --

is redirecting some of the funds to match again instead. So this was a

very nationalist, protectionist speech in many ways, and certainly

in Mexico there will be a lot of people who will be very concerned,

not just for their jobs but also of course the rhetoric about the wall

but has peppered his entire campaign and that this will continue. There

is also a fear for a lot of Mexicans being sent money by relatives in the

United States that there will be a cut to those tax remittances as

well? I mean, it's not easy to do, that, under our all sorts of legal

ramifications, but it's been posited by the Trump administration and

might be seen as a way to get Mexico to pay for the wall as he puts it.

It is a very complex picture, it is honestly very, very early, but there

are going to be some thorny issues ahead, remittances is one, jobs in

Mexico with US firms is another, of course the wall and cross-border

will start for a meeting. And on Russian television today, a leading

Nationalist politician, a famous firebrand, he said the main thing

basically solve the world's problems, he said. And I think

Russia sees Donald Trump as a businessman, who it can do deals

with. And the Russians want to do a big deal, a grand bargain, with

Washington. For the last couple of years the Russians have suffered

from sanctions, and I think they believe that Donald Trump is the man

to remove the sanctions. Steve and Will, thank you very much indeed.

highlights of what has been a momentous day for the United States.

Please raise your right hand and repeat after me. I will faithfully

execute the office of the president of the United States.

Congratulations, Mr President. From this day forward, it's going to

be only America first, America first.

More on that inauguration in the next few minutes. Before that, let's
