:00:00. > :00:00.deliver this antiestablishment speech, mere feet from former

:00:00. > :00:11.presidents Amber establishment itself, and he now holds the highest

:00:12. > :00:14.position, the elite of the elite itself -- former presidents, the

:00:15. > :00:19.establishment itself. Let's turn away from those pictures to the

:00:20. > :00:25.papers. The Daily Mail front page, I Swear To Be The People's President.

:00:26. > :00:29.There he is, and on the Bible his Scottish mother gave him when he was

:00:30. > :00:34.nine, in an incendiary speech, it said. Was the tone incendiary? It

:00:35. > :00:41.was actually quite lower energy to some of his previous speeches. Yes,

:00:42. > :00:47.I thought it seemed quite sort of and passionate. Given he clearly did

:00:48. > :00:52.manage to engage his audiences so much on the campaign trail -- it

:00:53. > :00:56.seemed sort of un-passionate. Obviously we did not want him

:00:57. > :01:00.screaming the same things then. But I did feel it was un-passionate.

:01:01. > :01:04.This is a grandiose situation and some historians will say, going up

:01:05. > :01:10.the steps of the Capitol Hill, feel the gravitas of the office, and it

:01:11. > :01:14.seems to a degree he felt that. Many people have said this already of

:01:15. > :01:19.course, but in comparison with Barack Obama's inauguration speech

:01:20. > :01:23.eight years ago, it lacked all of those sort of rhetorical devices

:01:24. > :01:26.that great speeches are supposed to have, but perhaps for the people he

:01:27. > :01:35.is speaking to, they didn't need all of that? I fundamentally think

:01:36. > :01:38.Trump's vocabulary is far smaller... But he could have had help with the

:01:39. > :01:43.writing, it is not like you put it on his own. Well, he has claimed, or

:01:44. > :01:49.they have claimed, he did a lot more than expected, but we are comparing

:01:50. > :01:53.him with Obama, who is probably... One of the most fantastic orators,

:01:54. > :02:04.audibly, so it is not a cane comparison to anyone, however it

:02:05. > :02:08.felt very basic speech. I remember when Barack Obama was running for

:02:09. > :02:11.re-election, and they spoke about these voters so swayed by the

:02:12. > :02:17.beautiful things he said but felt as if he hadn't delivered, so I think

:02:18. > :02:22.sticking to that simple approach, explaining right to the people... We

:02:23. > :02:25.did get a few ideas about exactly what Donald Trump's priorities were

:02:26. > :02:32.going to be, this idea he wants to eradicate Islamic State and Islamist

:02:33. > :02:40.terrorism in its entirety. Yes, and that was obviously huge part of the

:02:41. > :02:43.speech, and he has made it sound as though... Of course the Islamic

:02:44. > :02:49.State is in a worse position than it was, I don't know, a year ago. He

:02:50. > :02:51.has sort of said he will remove them from the face of the earth, I think

:02:52. > :02:57.that was the phrase. But he doesn't want to get involved in other

:02:58. > :03:01.people's battled abroad. Yes, quite clearly a tension there.

:03:02. > :03:05.Obliterating carer, as he suggests, is really difficult. It is

:03:06. > :03:10.interesting to note how Obama spoke of global terrorism. He often

:03:11. > :03:13.referred to it as a cancer. You do not necessarily beat cancer, you try

:03:14. > :03:17.to put it into remission. In a way that was part of... Obama's view on

:03:18. > :03:23.terrorism, so we are seeing a huge diverging. And of course he was the

:03:24. > :03:27.person who said, Trump, that he knew more about IS than the generals do,

:03:28. > :03:31.one of those bizarre things that despite having no background in

:03:32. > :03:37.this, he of believes his got is somehow more powerful than people

:03:38. > :03:40.who know a great deal -- his gut. I find this a very troubling

:03:41. > :03:44.characteristic in a person. We have some bagpipes! There we are. Let's

:03:45. > :04:09.have a listen to those for a second. The commander-in-chief, saluting.

:04:10. > :04:21.The Times front-page COMMENTATOR: In God we trust, it said.

:04:22. > :04:25.What was the word he used -- you used, Rosamund, snark? You can read

:04:26. > :04:29.it on two levels but I suspect it is the rest of us might be trusting in

:04:30. > :04:33.God... Someone I spoke to earlier watching said what struck them as

:04:34. > :04:37.odd was that he thanked Barack Obama, because he said he had been

:04:38. > :04:40.magnificent in helping him with the transition, he couldn't have asked

:04:41. > :04:44.for any more, but then went straight on to criticise all politicians

:04:45. > :04:50.because they are corrupt, and there was a need to "Give America back to

:04:51. > :04:54.the people," sort of rest it back from the politicians. Yes, he tends

:04:55. > :04:59.to flip-flop. The Washington Journal wrote a fascinating article on his

:05:00. > :05:03.leadership style and how he creates this sense of deliberate chaos, and

:05:04. > :05:06.in creating that, agreeing with some things, changing, listening to one

:05:07. > :05:12.person but not another person, he actually can maintain control. It

:05:13. > :05:15.certainly has the media on the hop, hasn't it? They are not used to

:05:16. > :05:20.dealing with somebody like this who is very difficult to pin down. Yes,

:05:21. > :05:25.and often in a story, where he had said something plenty of people or

:05:26. > :05:30.is obviously Notre, you do not learn that until... So he will say

:05:31. > :05:33.something, and I think there is a real struggle in newspapers on how

:05:34. > :05:37.to cover somebody who has made so many statements that are false -- or

:05:38. > :05:41.is obviously not true. It is a real challenge and I do not think the

:05:42. > :05:45.media has quite got it yet. I suppose you need access to a

:05:46. > :05:48.longform interview to sort of keep going back to those first principles

:05:49. > :05:53.of journalism, really insisting somebody answers a question. And of

:05:54. > :06:04.course the Times, well done to them, they got that interview, but who did

:06:05. > :06:07.it? Michael Gove, the obviously was a journalist, but plenty of us in

:06:08. > :06:09.journalism felt that fell short in terms of actually questioning Trump

:06:10. > :06:11.when Trump said things like calling people illegals who are refugees,

:06:12. > :06:15.and that is where you don't say yes, and things to do with Brexit, things

:06:16. > :06:20.he said that were completely Andrew, we were being forced to take

:06:21. > :06:23.migrants -- completely untrue. That is really a challenge somebody in an

:06:24. > :06:28.interview and I felt, watching those clips, I found it pretty troubling.

:06:29. > :06:32.This is what he will do, isn't it? He will go to people who are not

:06:33. > :06:39.going to be tricky with him. That is why it is so interesting that this

:06:40. > :06:46.Times front page has Preserve, Protect And Defend The Constitution

:06:47. > :06:49.Of The United States as its main line, and the Constitution includes

:06:50. > :06:53.the freedom of the press, free speech, something that were a lot of

:06:54. > :07:00.Trump's critics have said he has not done well so far. No, with all those

:07:01. > :07:11.accusations of fake news levied at CNN and the like, both feed, even

:07:12. > :07:16.the BBC. -- Buzzfeed. It is a funny he has taken something that has

:07:17. > :07:19.benefited him, saying things like the Pope backed him, which obviously

:07:20. > :07:23.did not happen, shared around the Internet so many times, and he has

:07:24. > :07:26.taken this concept and weaponised it for him when actually it was

:07:27. > :07:35.something being used in his favour in the first place, but now it is

:07:36. > :07:39.waged at the press. The Mirror. Trump's War On The World. TiVos to

:07:40. > :07:43.put the United States first and to hell with every other country, in a

:07:44. > :07:47.chilling inaugural speech. I am interested in so other adjectives

:07:48. > :07:52.used to describe it. Yes, I think we were both not necessarily impressed

:07:53. > :07:58.either way. He did mention allies, though, and I think I saw in some of

:07:59. > :08:01.the British press, happy about what that means for Brexit, outside of

:08:02. > :08:07.the European Union, theoretically, and something else to focus on in

:08:08. > :08:11.this Mirror page, this curtain with gold parcels hanging off of it, and

:08:12. > :08:16.I do not know if the paper is trying to convey this idea, but it seems

:08:17. > :08:24.very regal. Yes, I was just thinking that. Watching today's Pomp and so

:08:25. > :08:27.on it reminded me of watching the preparations for the coronation.

:08:28. > :08:33.That curtain with a parcels, the parade, and the whole choreographed

:08:34. > :08:38.spectacle, it would have been the same whoever had one. There are

:08:39. > :08:43.certain elements that have to be... Yes, but the paper is trying to

:08:44. > :08:48.convey something. We can all probably mimic Donald Trump if we

:08:49. > :09:02.wanted to, because of his hand gesture of... Small hands. The Aoke

:09:03. > :09:06.up, this fest, the powerful first -- the OK sign. You like the thing with

:09:07. > :09:11.Michael Gove, and he doesn't like germs, so perhaps doesn't want to

:09:12. > :09:15.shake somebody's hand, but, yes, is very big on the hand gestures. We

:09:16. > :09:20.are big on that with politicians. Tony Blair had his hand gestures. I

:09:21. > :09:24.don't know. It feels like he is sort of trying to make out, make up for

:09:25. > :09:30.the lack of anything coming out of his mouth of any real import...

:09:31. > :09:34.Clearly what he does say resonates within people, doesn't it? OK, he

:09:35. > :09:39.did not win the popular vote as we have said many times, but he is

:09:40. > :09:44.popular. We have been speaking to people all day who say, you know, I

:09:45. > :09:48.know he might need to rein it in a bit on Twitter, but I like what he

:09:49. > :09:56.says, I like his intentions. The Financial Times, America First, fest

:09:57. > :10:01.in the air, competent -- combated inaugural address, rejection of

:10:02. > :10:04.globalism? That is a huge issue. People are trying to figure out what

:10:05. > :10:11.will happen in these first hundred days, and the problem that modern

:10:12. > :10:15.journalists have had is the present these large macro ideas, America

:10:16. > :10:23.First, we are going to focus on America for most, then he has these

:10:24. > :10:25.micro ideas, targeting Ford, for instance, in protectionism,

:10:26. > :10:28.targeting GM, for instance, but we do not get that middle part, how

:10:29. > :10:33.these policies are actually going to be implemented from today forward.

:10:34. > :10:37.Isn't that because he is not a politician. The fundamental thing he

:10:38. > :10:41.is lacking is years of actually doing that at state level. But he

:10:42. > :10:50.will be surrounded by experts, and Barack Obama said, you know, don't

:10:51. > :10:52.try to do this on your own. Yes, pointless from the Obama and

:10:53. > :10:56.ministries working for him because they have been so slow to fill...

:10:57. > :11:02.The Financial Times is focused on the idea that America First, you

:11:03. > :11:07.know, trade and all the protectionism, and somebody pointed

:11:08. > :11:10.out that the caps, they make America a great again caps that were being

:11:11. > :11:15.given out, they were made in China. So we see that it does not quite

:11:16. > :11:21.filtered down all the way. Not straightaway, anyway. The Mirror,

:11:22. > :11:25.pages two and three, inside, Declaration Of Independence, Trump's

:11:26. > :11:30.War On The World, a variety of different pictures. Michelle Obama

:11:31. > :11:36.looking quite, well, a frown on her face, certainly. Then we have

:11:37. > :11:40.Hillary and Bill Clinton. What must have been going through her mind

:11:41. > :11:43.that they? And the picture of course of those protests? We have not

:11:44. > :11:48.really spoke a lot about the protesters, and what is fascinating

:11:49. > :11:52.-- what is fascinating about this inauguration is the diversity of

:11:53. > :11:55.protesters. People there for racial reasons, gender reasons, economic

:11:56. > :12:00.reasons. And this is very different from inaugurations in the past. It

:12:01. > :12:04.goes back to Woodrow Wilson, where there were women who came to his

:12:05. > :12:07.inauguration in their early -- in the early 20th century to protest

:12:08. > :12:15.for women's suffrage, but that was a focus issue during that. Protesting

:12:16. > :12:18.the Vietnam War during the inauguration, and fairly similar in

:12:19. > :12:22.George W Bush's second inauguration, but you are the protesters are

:12:23. > :12:26.coming to protest against many different things and sort of his

:12:27. > :12:30.entire persona. Yes, I think that is right. Obviously huge contingent

:12:31. > :12:35.tomorrow will be women protesting. But he has been a terribly divisive

:12:36. > :12:40.candidate and there are a lot of people who are angry. It is very

:12:41. > :12:45.difficult to say, well, women are anti-drum, when clearly they are

:12:46. > :12:50.not. The majority of white women voted for him, yes. Finally on the

:12:51. > :12:55.papers we will look at this hour, page ten of the Daily Mail, could it

:12:56. > :13:09.be something he said? Two pictures here, on the left what the National

:13:10. > :13:13.Mall looked like when Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, and the

:13:14. > :13:16.same shot today. What we do not know, to be fair, is at what point

:13:17. > :13:20.in the proceedings each of those photographs were taken. The Obama

:13:21. > :13:23.picture could have been at the height of the gathering, and the

:13:24. > :13:29.other one could have been, you know, before people really got there, but

:13:30. > :13:32.are they taking liberties? We don't know. This is going to be painful

:13:33. > :13:36.for Donald Trump because Trump is someone who, in many of his speeches

:13:37. > :13:40.and to defend himself, often mentions the number of people who

:13:41. > :13:44.come to his rallies. He speaks about huge crowds, and he actually

:13:45. > :13:47.mentioned this at his big press conference, so seeing a photograph

:13:48. > :13:50.like this, and undoubtedly he will see something like this because it

:13:51. > :13:54.will circulate on Twitter and we know he is a big Twitter user, would

:13:55. > :13:58.be incredibly painful, but the question is will he continue to

:13:59. > :14:04.govern in the way he has managed this transition? That he has a

:14:05. > :14:08.mandate, some sort of popular backing, despite the fact that he

:14:09. > :14:15.lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes. That is it for The

:14:16. > :14:18.Papers this error. Much more to talk about. Actual governance has already

:14:19. > :14:23.begun. Quite a few things have already been set in motion. We will

:14:24. > :14:27.speak about those again with Charlie and Rosamund who are back again at

:14:28. > :14:28.half past 11 for another look at the papers. Time to catch up with the

:14:29. > :14:40.weather forecast with Helen. Good evening. A lovely sunny day for

:14:41. > :14:42.many areas of the country with just a few exceptions. This was
