in as the 45th president of the United States. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Hello, good morning, I'm Joanna Gosling - | :00:20. | :00:20. | |
Donald Trump has been addressing supporters in Washington. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
We are going to make America great again, and I'll add greater than | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
ever before! Thank you, everybody. This is the scene live | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
in Washington, where they'll be Throughout the programme we will be | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
taking a look at what a Trump presidency could be like - | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
we are talking to Washington insiders, voters, supporters | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
and critics of the man who so many said would never make | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
it to the top job. We have seen the sketches, | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
heard his catchphrases but what is the billionaire | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
businessman actually like? Welcome to the programme, | :01:05. | :01:06. | |

we're talking about this morning - What do you want from a Trump | :01:20. | :01:31. | |
presidency? He says he will make America great again. He dominates | :01:32. | :01:36. | |

This afternoon, at 5pm UK time, Donald Trump will be sworn | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
in as 45th President of the United States. | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
Last night, in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial, | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
the billionaire businessman, who beat the odds to win | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
November's election, told the crowd that he will unify | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
the country and give a voice to people who have been forgotten. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Our Washington correspondent Laura Bicker has more. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
This is a musical warmup act for one of the greatest | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
And centre stage for this welcome concert is its star. | :02:12. | :02:24. | |
This is a first look at Donald Trump's inauguration | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
crowds, his chance to address those who put him in office. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
The polls started going up, up, up, but they did not | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
want to give us credit, because they forgot | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
On the campaign I called it "the forgotten man | :02:36. | :02:49. | |
Well, you are not forgotten any more, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Few predicted he would be the 45th president, | :02:53. | :03:04. | |
but the businessman says he has plans. | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
We are going to do things that haven't been done for our country | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
As Trump supporters lined the Lincoln Memorial to cheer, | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
In New York, thousands marched to the Trump Hotel with a message | :03:15. | :03:25. | |
We are all rooting for the new administration, of course, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
to abandon the divisive, racist, misogynistic, ignorant plans | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
it's trumpeting and lead us with intelligence and compassion. | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
Donald Trump may be toasting his victory | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
if he is to persuade those who fear a President Trump. | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
coming up shortly we will be talking about the man with a former White | :03:57. | :04:05. | |
House correspondent for Time magazine, and also a former speech | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
writer for George W Bush. We have got so much analysis | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
throughout the programme today, we will be talking to insiders, people | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
going on protests in Washington on any alteration day. Do let us know | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
your thoughts about the man who little bit later today is going to | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
be president. Let's catch up with the rest of the news with Annita | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
McVeigh in the newsroom. Thank you, Joanna. Good morning. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
A group of British doctors say they've transformed the treatment | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
They've used MRI scans, which nearly double the number | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
of aggressive tumours that are caught. | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Prostate cancer - the most common type of cancer in men in the UK - | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
is normally confirmed with an invasive biopsy. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Winning the World Cup for GB, that was definitely my finest hour... | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
Fred is a former Olympian who represented Great Britain | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
Two years ago, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
You know where you're at, as opposed to ignoring the problem, | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
and then one day you have got some kind of chronic discomfort, | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
and then you have months, or a short time, to live. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
That will be far more devastating for your loved ones | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
Getting checked out saved Fred's life, but the way | :05:21. | :05:31. | |
Biopsies are commonly used to detect the cancer. | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
A needle is put in the prostate and tissue is removed for analysis. | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
But new research published in the main medical journal, | :05:45. | :05:55. | |
in 93% of cases, compared to just over half | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
If we can diagnose cancers currently being missed by this very inaccurate | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
standard transrectal biopsy test, and find important cancers early | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
and treat them early, then I think we could see | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
a significant impact on long-term survival. | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Fred is now in the last stages of treatment. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
And for those with prostate cancer, the use of MRI scans could be a big | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
A man has been evicted from hospital, after unnecessarily | :06:23. | :06:35. | |
occupying a bed for more than two years. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
The patient had refused to leave the James Paget University Hospital | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
in Norfolk, despite being fit for discharge and being offered | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
The hospital said the decision to go to court was a last resort. | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
A man has driven a car into pedestrians in the Australian | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
city of Melbourne, killing three people. | :06:54. | :06:54. | |
At least 29 others are being treated in hospital. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Police said the incident wasn't terror-related, | :07:00. | :07:00. | |
and was connected to a stabbing in another part of the city | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
Police shot and wounded the driver, who is under arrest. | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
West African leaders have given the former Gambian president | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
Yahya Jammeh a final opportunity to relinquish power after Senegalese | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
He's been told to leave office by noon or be forced out by troops | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Adama Barrow was sworn in as the new Gambian | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Rescuers in Italy have worked through the night | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
in the hope of finding more survivors from an avalanche that | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
Four people are known to have died, and as many | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Four earthquakes rocked the Rigopiano hotel, | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
in the Abruzzo region of Italy two days ago, as Andy Moore reports. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
This was the Hotel Rigopiano in the height of summer | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
and this was of the hotel after the avalanche struck. | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Parts of it barely visible under tonnes of snow and ice. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Reports said one wing of the structure was shunted ten | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
Residents were said to be in the hotel hall, | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
waiting for evacuation, when the avalanche struck. | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
On arriving, rescuers found an incredible silence | :08:10. | :08:10. | |
and an interior filled with snow set rock-hard. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
About 35 people were in the hotel at the time, most are still missing. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
The rescue operation has been continuing throughout the night. | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
The chances are slim, but some people may have survived. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
TRANSLATION: In these cases, hope is what keeps the workers going. | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
If there was no hope the rescuers would not give it | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
There is always hope and here too, we have some technical | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
As vehicles struggled to reach the site by road, | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
there was criticism of the delay in launching the rescue operation. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
The only survivors were in the hotel car park when the snow struck - | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
they phoned for help but initially at least, no one in authority | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
realised the seriousness of the situation. | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
A British man has died working on the stadium for the 2022 | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
The event's organisers say an investigation is under way into the | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
incident, which happened yesterday. The 40-year-old man hasn't been | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
named, but authorities say his family have been informed. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
BBC News understands that dozens of Labour MPs might be prepared | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
to vote against the party's leadership, if there is a Commons | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
Jeremy Corbyn has said all his MPs will be told to approve | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
the triggering of Article 50, because they should | :09:37. | :09:37. | |
accept the result of last year's referendum. | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
The Mexican drug lord, Joaquin Guzman, known as el Chapo, | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
has been extradited to the United States. | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
He'd previously escaped from two Mexican high security jails | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
and was facing two extradition requests - one from California, | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
one from Texas - where he could face the death penalty. | :09:53. | :10:03. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30. | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
Coming up, we will be speaking to a Democrat congressman who is one of | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
more than 60 boycotting the inauguration of Donald Trump today. | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Donald Trump has responded to that by saying, it is great if people are | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
boycotting because it leaves more seats available for the people to | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
have. He is talking about it being effectively a people's inauguration. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Let us know your thoughts throughout the morning. | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
Use the hashtag #VictoriaLive and if you text, you will be charged | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
Let's get some sport now and we can join Olly Foster. | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
We'll start in Melbourne where Andy Murray and Dan Evans | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
are looking to make it into round four of | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
They are. For the first time in years, two men from Britain enter | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
the third round, and could make it into the fourth. Andy Murray has | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
beaten Sam Querrey, and easy job for him. We had our worries, because he | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
turned his ankle in the last round, but he won 6-4, 6-2, 6-3. Novak | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
Djokovic Chisnall doubt, so Murray's pass to the final is the same, but | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
if he does get there, then this could be the year. He has been a | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
runner-up five times in Melbourne. Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka are | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
on his side of the draw. He has Zverev next. And Dan Evans | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
celebrated the biggest win of his career in the last round, beating | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
Marin Cilic. He is playing in an Tomic -- Bernard Tomic right now. | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
The second set when to a tie-break, Evans romped through it, and he is | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
two sets up, going with serve in the third. He is still wearing that | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
plain old white and black kit that he picked up at a local sports shop, | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
because his sponsors pulled the rug on him just before the Melbourne | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
open, so he has had to buy his own stuff, and is still playing very | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
smartly indeed. What a sweetie! Let's bring Donald Trump even into | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
the sports bulletin, because he has had quite a big influence on sport. | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
There are some concerns that his presidency could have a very | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
negative impact on sport. He is a massive sports fan, but there are | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
two major events on his watch. This September, the host city for the | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
2024 Olympics is going to be decided. Los Angeles is the front | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
runner, but although his proclamations and words from Trump | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
over the last few months, immigration, Mexicans, Muslims, | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
those remarks that surfaced about women that he put down to locker | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
room banter, just how is that going to play out with the IOC committee | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
when they vote on a host city for the Olympics in 2024? That is coming | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
up in September. And in the next couple of years, Fifa will decide on | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
the host for the 2026 World Cup, the US were their favourites, a joint | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
bid with Canada and Mexico, so how will that play out? A big American | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
investigation into those historic corruption allegations as well going | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
on. Big golf fan, he owns lots of courses, including Turnberry, and | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
that is on the road to host the Open every ten years, it last hosted in | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
2009, it was due in 2021, but they have skipped it, they are not going | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
to make any decision on when it will next host the open, they will not | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
say explicitly when they are going to host it. And the expansion of | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
American sports, basketball, the NFL, all those overseas | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
relationships and the hardening of possible trade deals, that could | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
impact those sports plans, but just yesterday he announced Woody Johnson | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
as the US ambassador to the UK, Woody Johnson owns the New York Jets | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
football team, so I think we will still see a lot more NFL in the UK. | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
Thank you very much, Olly Foster. It's perhaps the most remarkable | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
story in recent political history. Today Donald Trump will | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
become the 45th President is to 'faithfully execute the Office | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
of President of the United States, and to "preserve, protect | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
and defend the Constitution." He'll give his first | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
speech as the President, then take part in the | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
inauguration parade. After that, the party begins, with | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
three balls for the president and his wife, Melania, to go through. | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
In a moment we'll speak to some people who are in Washington | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
for the inauguration, but first let's take | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
a look back at how we got here in the first place. | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists. | :14:58. | :15:11. | |
I am officially running... country great again! | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
I am officially running for president of the United States. | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
We need a leader that can bring back our jobs, | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
can bring back ourmanufacturing, can bring back our military, | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
I've never seen anybody that lied as much as Ted Cruz. | :15:35. | :15:45. | |
And he goes around saying he's a Christian. | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
I'm so proud to be your nominee for president of the United States. | :15:58. | :16:10. | |
It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
is not in charge of the law in our country. | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
To say an establishment - er, we don't want that. | :16:18. | :16:31. | |
He's the only hope we've got - he's the only hope this | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
I've been saying it for a long time - the system is rigged. | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
He was like an octopus, it was like he had six arms, | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
When he started putting his hand up my skirt, and that was it. | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
I'll tell you who - a bully, that's who! | :16:53. | :17:13. | |
I have to give the FBI credit, that was so bad, | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
what happened originally, and it took guts for director | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
Ladies and gentlemen - the next president | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
of the United States, Donald Trump! | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
This morning, I finally woke up to 50 text messages | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
Once they hack, if you don't catch them in the act, | :17:47. | :17:59. | |
you're not going to catch them - they have no idea if it's Russia | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
It could be somebody sitting in a bed someplace. | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
No, I'm not going to give you a question. | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
Last night Donald Trump addressed cheering supporters at a concert | :18:12. | :18:27. | |
on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
And our phrase, you all know it and half of you are wearing the hat, | :18:32. | :18:46. | |
But we are going to make America great | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
That includes the inner cities, that includes everybody. | :18:55. | :19:04. | |
We also heard from Melania Trump last night when the couple visited | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
a group of supporters at the Trump International | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
And also invited her, with a bit of insistence, | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
It's great to be here and thank you for your support | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
Ahead, a lot of responsibility, a lot to take care of. | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
And we will make America great again. | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
Let's speak now to Jef McAllister, he's a former | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
White House Correspondent for Time Magazine. | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
Anneke Green is a former speech writer | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
And Dianna Ploss is a former Democrat, who campaigned | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
in Massachusetts for Trump and is going to the inauguration. | :19:58. | :20:09. | |
Tell us about the inauguration. Many of them are expected to be | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
protesters, how will you expecting this to compare two previous years? | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
It will be a good show, no matter what, it is the peaceful transition | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
of power, and there will be protests, there usually are, no more | :20:28. | :20:37. | |
here than at others. We have a larger amount of transporters | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
compared to Obama supporters for his first inauguration -- a large amount | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
of Trump supporters. It will be an orderly day, they will be some happy | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
scenes, but also people who aren't completely happy that he will be the | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
next president. Can you remember more controversial character | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
entering the White House? Not in my White House, Ronald Reagan was | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
controversial, George W Bush was also controversial. Trump is a | :21:12. | :21:21. | |
different kettle of fish. He doesn't have any government experience and | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
he is more incendiary and he is on Twitter and he has enemies and he | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
likes enemies, this is a different kind of feeling that he is taking to | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
the Oval Office. We have heard so much rhetoric but we are yet to see | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
action. How would you anticipate that personal transition for him? | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
This is the interesting question and we hope the responsibilities of | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
office and the machinery of government will make him somewhat | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
different and soften the rough edges. So far the transition is not | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
going as smoothly as it has in previous administrations, maybe | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
because he himself did not entirely expect to win. And because the | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
people around him were not prepared. He only has 29 out of 600 executive | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
positions actually in place so far. They have asked for emergency | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
keeping in of Obama officials because they don't have the people | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
in office. There is a certain amount of chaos. Psychologically, his | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
biographers and people who know him well say that he is not | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
fundamentally an organisation guy, he has run businesses, but they are | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
run by his family and he doesn't have a big organisation. The Trump | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
organisation has a hundred people, but he now has nearly a million to | :22:39. | :22:48. | |
look after. He likes to stir things up, that is very different from | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
actual running of government. Is he going to get rid of the Obama | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
executive orders? Can he actually build things? We don't know. You | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
were a former speech writer for George W Bush. Talking about the | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
numbers turning out, around 300,000 turned out for George W Bush, 2001 | :23:12. | :23:22. | |
after the contested election that many people remember. How big was | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
that? It matters that Donald Trump is now in office in terms of | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
controversy? The turnout on inauguration day when it is compared | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
with what has gone before, and the sense of how people see the incoming | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
president. Washington, DC is a funny city and we have so many | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
demonstrations and gatherings all the time. One thing you can be sure | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
of, the number of people who come is always contested. It will be | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
interesting to see the estimates and it is hard to know how it will break | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
down. Even when we get the estimates, seeing who was there | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
protesting and who is there to attend the on Gration, that will be | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
hard to say conclusively. -- attends the inauguration. In terms of who is | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
coming to see Donald Trump's being sworn in, he has been elected by | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
people who consider themselves to be the common man, so they may become a | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
Ford the outrageous hike in hotel prices for example -- so they may | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
not be able to afford. They can't afford first-class tickets on air | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
planes and maybe that will affect the number of people that show up | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
versus people coming to protest. You are going for the inauguration | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
today, what visual perspective on this? He has said this is | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
effectively a people's organisation -- what is your perspective of the | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
he says he wants the people to be the stars. He put the price for the | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
tickets at the Freedom Ball at $50, and my understanding, and I'm new to | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
this, those prices are higher, but right now there is a huge group that | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
have come down from Massachusetts and we were able to rent a couple of | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
apartments and we were able to do that for a very low cost, not having | :25:26. | :25:37. | |
to use the hotel system. So, to the point of the person that just spoke, | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
we made it our business to get down here. No matter what it took. Many | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
of us drive, whatever it took, we were going to be here for this | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
inauguration. Why is it so important for you to be there? Many of us | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
invested a long time, almost two years, trying to get this man | :25:59. | :26:11. | |
elected. Some of people -- some people took time off work to do | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
this, I took nearly a year off, and I felt very strongly he should be | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
the next president. There are many of us, there are some left behind | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
who couldn't come, but we have tried to get people down here and I'm very | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
curious to see what the numbers will be. I'm right here on the ground and | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
I see the people and I hear the people and I see them on social | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
media, and it will be very curious to see how many people do show up | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
for this very historic and exciting election... Excuse me, inauguration. | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
You took a year off work to be able to campaign to get Donald Trump | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
elected. Who ever it is, that is extraordinary, to take a year out of | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
work. Specifically, Donald Trump, what is it about him? You were | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
originally a Democrat. What about him has cut you fired up? -- has | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
got. I was a Democrat to years ago and I lived in Cambridge, | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
Massachusetts which was one street away from the two marathon bombers | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
and that changed me fundamentally. I watched what was going on in Europe | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
and I paid attention to what was going on in America with the | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
anti-police rhetoric. And I said I had to get involved and one of the | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
first things I did was change my party because I did not know what | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
else to do. Donald Trump then came on the scene and I said, he's | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
pro-America and pro-law and order and I need to get involved in this | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
campaign, and I never imagined it would have taken me where it took me | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
a from being someone who knew nothing about politics to being a | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
delegate at the convention. And now I'm in Washington, DC for his | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
inauguration, so exciting. There are more people out there like me, I'm | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
not the only one. And that is what Donald Trump tapped into, he is | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
talking about reaching out to people who have felt forgotten previously | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
and on the back of all of that support that is what took him to the | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
White House. Absolutely. He has tapped into something very big, it | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
surprised everybody, that he has built slowly a lot of people who | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
deeply deeply believe in his message and the sense of hope he gives them. | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
We all hope as Americans and people, citizens of the world, that he can | :28:42. | :28:48. | |
fulfil the promises he has made. Would you... How would you expect | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
what he has said on the campaign trail to actually translate when he | :28:54. | :29:00. | |
gets into office? There is the machinery of government that | :29:01. | :29:02. | |
surrounds an individual and there is the responsibility of office that | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
maybe tempers the hot-headed must that there might be prior to | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
actually assuming that mantle. It has been interesting, seeing the | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
people that President-elect Trump has appointed to be considered for | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
confirmation in the Senate, various nominees to Cabinet positions of | :29:22. | :29:29. | |
which we act we heard this week, only two are in a position to be | :29:30. | :29:32. | |
confirmed on Monday -- of which we actually heard this week. That will | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
be the Department of defence and Homeland Security which is far lower | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
than the number of nominees which President Obama started with, and | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
that was an announcement that the Democrats in the Senate made. What | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
Donald Trump will be dealing with is a level of partisanship that past | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
presidents have not had to deal with, notably President Obama, and | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
those nominees he has picked have been extraordinary in some ways, for | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
their backgrounds and expertise, and he hasn't done what many politicians | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
do which is rewarding their supporters with plum assignments | :30:15. | :30:16. | |
regardless of their backgrounds and whether they are the best person for | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
the job. My understanding, any perception of this organisation at | :30:23. | :30:24. | |
this point is because they are determined to get the most qualified | :30:25. | :30:31. | |
people into those positions. What would you like to see Donald Trump | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
doing on his first day in office? What is the biggest priority for | :30:37. | :30:43. | |
you? To start working on repealing DEC, that is a huge problem for | :30:44. | :30:54. | |
people including myself -- repealing Obamacare. I've spent around | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
$20,000, because of that, and that an immigration, and I would like to | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
see what is going on... I heard that we were bombing Libya, and I think | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
he has got to get his finger on that. He has a lot of work to do and | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
he is going to do the work. He is absolutely going to do the work. I | :31:11. | :31:14. | |
don't doubt that he won't do what he said he would do. We will pick up on | :31:15. | :31:20. | |
these things with you again in just a few moments. Let us no your | :31:21. | :31:29. | |
thoughts. -- let us know. A bust of Winston Churchill will go back into | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
the Oval Office after it was removed by President Obama. | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
What would President Trump mean for the special relationship | :31:36. | :31:37. | |
Good morning. I'm Annita McVeigh in the BBC newsroom with a summary of | :31:38. | :32:00. | |
today's news. Donald Trump will become the 45th President of the | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
United States today. He told crowds in Washington him up he would unify | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
the country and give a voice to forgotten people. Thousands of | :32:11. | :32:14. | |
police officers are on duty, with many protests expected against Mr | :32:15. | :32:15. | |
Trump. A group of British doctors say | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
they've transformed the diagnosis of prostate cancer - | :32:19. | :32:21. | |

Olly Foster. Andy Murray is into the fourth round | :33:57. | :34:05. | |
of the Australian open, the world number one showing very little sign | :34:06. | :34:08. | |
of the ankle injury that troubled him in his last match. He beat Sam | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
Querrey in straight sets and will now play Misha Zverev. And what | :34:13. | :34:19. | |
about Dan Evans? He beat top ten player Marin Cilic in his last match | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
and is currently 2-0 up against Bernard Tomic. His run in Melbourne | :34:25. | :34:30. | |
will see him become a top 50 player for the first time no matter what | :34:31. | :34:33. | |

defend their grand slam. That all starts in the next couple of weeks. | :35:08. | :35:13. | |
Some comments from some of you at home watching the programme this | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
morning. Andy says it is about time someone was unafraid to stir things | :35:18. | :35:22. | |
up a bit has come along, whether or not he will do any good is yet to be | :35:23. | :35:27. | |
seen. Leonard has the gold, you call it inauguration, I call it a bomb in | :35:28. | :35:33. | |
a. Trump is like a naughty child who doesn't do what he's told. And Steve | :35:34. | :35:41. | |
says, you sceptics, give him a chance. | :35:42. | :35:52. | |
Joining us now is Andrew Rosindell, Conservative MP | :35:53. | :35:54. | |
for Romford; he's part of the government committee that | :35:55. | :35:57. | |
Gemma Godfrey, is a businesswoman and CEO of Moola | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
a digital wealth management firm; she was an advisor to | :36:02. | :36:03. | |
It is said that he looked to JFK and Ronald Reagan for inspiration. Let's | :36:04. | :36:10. | |
just listen first of all the how JFK did it in 1961. In the long history | :36:11. | :36:19. | |
of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of | :36:20. | :36:26. | |
defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from | :36:27. | :36:32. | |
this responsibility. I welcome it. APPLAUSE | :36:33. | :36:39. | |
I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other | :36:40. | :36:47. | |
people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion | :36:48. | :36:55. | |
which we bring to this endeavour will like our country and all who | :36:56. | :37:00. | |
serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And | :37:01. | :37:08. | |
so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, | :37:09. | :37:15. | |
ask what do you can do for your country. | :37:16. | :37:20. | |
One of the most famous political lines. Alnwick, he did to a picture | :37:21. | :37:27. | |
of himself showing himself at a desk, this was me three weeks ago | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
writing my inauguration speech. How much sweat goes into a speech like | :37:31. | :37:40. | |
that? How important is it? It is crucial, this is his first address | :37:41. | :37:45. | |
as president, and everyone, whether they supported him or not, is | :37:46. | :37:47. | |
looking to see what kind of residency is promising to be. The | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
campaign is behind him now, now he is the president, and what does he | :37:53. | :37:57. | |
have to say to the nation? He is taking it seriously, I have spoken | :37:58. | :38:01. | |
to members of his team. It is a speech that many hours goes into, | :38:02. | :38:09. | |
and they do look for inspiration to previous presidents, how have they | :38:10. | :38:12. | |
addressed the nation, and Ronald Reagan's first inaugural address was | :38:13. | :38:20. | |
one as well, it is worth reading if your viewers are interested in that, | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
it is beautiful and moving, and it is encouraging hearing that the | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
sources of inspiration that Donald Trump is telling too as he thinks | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
about communication to the nation. I am everyone's president, whether you | :38:36. | :38:38. | |
supported me or not, I will work for you. What would you like to hear, | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
Diana? I liked how you play the Kennedy speech, because I think what | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
Donald Trump is doing is similar to that. He is telling people that you | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
are in charge of your destiny, and Donald Trump is the perfect example | :38:52. | :38:57. | |
of someone who is in charge of his destiny. He showed that with hard | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
work and perseverance, he could achieve something, and I feel that | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
that is exactly what he is doing, back to what Kennedy said, we are | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
not all people who have to rely on the Government to take care of us, | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
that we can take care of our own selves and our own family. What do | :39:15. | :39:18. | |
you say to people who fear what the Trump presidency might mean? I know | :39:19. | :39:25. | |
that people are upset about that, because I see it on social media, | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
but I feel like that is a big hype coming from the politicians that | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
have stayed away from the inauguration, and from some of the | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
media who kind of skews things so that people are not getting the | :39:40. | :39:43. | |
information that they actually need, they are not getting the truth, and | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
that is why I am so thrilled with the fact that he does tweet, because | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
I feel like we will see a very transparent government, and I think | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
if things go the way we are all hoping, that the decades and decades | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
he will show people that this is the way it actually showed B. He is | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
going to lead the way for a new type of government that we have never | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
seen before. Jeff, what do you think about that? A more transparent | :40:11. | :40:16. | |
government? I think he will get a lot of attention. More transparent | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
in what sense? He won't release his own tax returns. He won't divest | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
himself of his businesses. A lot of the people coming in to be in his | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
Cabinet are having trouble getting through ethical lines, and some of | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
the efforts of Republicans have been to shut down the watchkeeper is. | :40:37. | :40:43. | |
That is just one thing. All presidents need to be secretive, and | :40:44. | :40:48. | |
once they get in and have to make deals, they get irritated by the | :40:49. | :40:51. | |
press, by people coming in and asking questions. Trump is impatient | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
of people giving him scrutiny, you have seen that in his attacks on the | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
media. The media are not all charlatans and liars. Some of them | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
are good and some of them are bad. But he is thin-skinned and sensitive | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
about criticism, very widely demonstrated. So I don't see him as | :41:11. | :41:16. | |
someone interested in transparency. I think he is someone who is | :41:17. | :41:18. | |
interested in getting his point across and he is very good at that. | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
Great to talk to you all today, thank you very much. Enjoy the | :41:23. | :41:34. | |
inauguration, Dianna. I can't wait! So excited. Thank you very much. | :41:35. | :41:39. | |
President Obama has concerned he will attend Trump's inauguration | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
today despite dozens of his fellow Democrats boycotting it. It follows | :41:44. | :41:50. | |
the attack on congressmen John Lewis who says he is not going because | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
Donald Trump is not a legitimate president. I talked to Mark O'Conner | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
and asked him why he is not attending. My absence from the | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
inauguration is really about sending the message to Donald Trump that his | :42:05. | :42:15. | |
victory does not erase the terrible way in which he got to this office. | :42:16. | :42:26. | |
That he needs more than just a legal and technical victory in the | :42:27. | :42:29. | |
electoral college to lead his country. He needs a certain amount | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
of moral authority, ethical authority, which I believe he is | :42:35. | :42:45. | |
lacking, and he demonstrated that when he attacked John Lewis in the | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
way that he did. He attacked a man who, in my estimation, has a great | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
deal of moral authority that he earned through his brave words and | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
actions. The fact is he did win the election, the people knew who Donald | :43:02. | :43:04. | |
Trump is, it is not like he was a shy and retiring figure and people | :43:05. | :43:07. | |
didn't know what they were voting for. Is it now time to get behind | :43:08. | :43:16. | |
him and unite America? The answer I believe is no. A president needs | :43:17. | :43:27. | |
more than a legal and technical win to lead the United States of | :43:28. | :43:34. | |
America. He needs also a certain degree of moral and ethical | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
legitimacy. Secondly, I would say that he has shown very little | :43:40. | :43:46. | |
respect for the diversity of America, that he is not repaired to | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
lead a diverse country such as the United States of America. He | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
campaigned for the presidency in a way that trespassed norms, | :43:58. | :44:04. | |
democratic and cultural norms that we have here in United States of | :44:05. | :44:11. | |
America. He insulted and attacked a gold star family, and a gold star | :44:12. | :44:17. | |
family is a family that has lost one of its members in military service. | :44:18. | :44:26. | |
He attacked a Mexican American judge, a federal judge, and accused | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
the judge of not being able to treated unfairly because of his | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
Mexican American Heritage. He is yet to take power. That happens today, | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
we have yet to see whether the rhetoric will translate into | :44:41. | :44:45. | |
actions. But what would you say so far has been the impact of the | :44:46. | :44:51. | |
language that he has used? The impact for me has been that it is | :44:52. | :45:02. | |
just not, to me it is a very undemocratic unrestrained use of his | :45:03. | :45:10. | |
position, that an American president should show more respect for | :45:11. | :45:17. | |
dissenters. John Lewis did not attend the second George Bush's | :45:18. | :45:29. | |
first inauguration because of the Florida decision, the weather | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
Florida vote was determined, but I don't recall George W Bush attacking | :45:33. | :45:42. | |
John Lewis like that. His supporters obviously see his style as | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
repression, someone who is coming in, a businessman with a track | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
record who is going to shake up America, shake up the way things are | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
done to make, as he says, America great again. Do you not have any | :45:55. | :46:00. | |
optimism about his skills as a businessman and what they could mean | :46:01. | :46:01. | |
potentially for the United States? I don't want to get into an | :46:02. | :46:11. | |
examination of his business acumen and how successful he is. Instead I | :46:12. | :46:20. | |
will point to his lack of transparency in terms of disclosing | :46:21. | :46:26. | |
his potential conflicts of, his failure to disclose his taxes. -- | :46:27. | :46:32. | |
potential conflicts of interest. It has raises question over whether as | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
a commander-in-chief, it if he orders military action, whether he | :46:37. | :46:41. | |
is doing this on behalf of the United States or on behalf of his | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
own personal self-interest. He will not be governing alone. He has a | :46:46. | :46:51. | |
team he is building around him, do you have faith in his choices for | :46:52. | :47:00. | |
high office? There are huge huge questions as to how his choices are | :47:01. | :47:07. | |
going to govern, his Education Secretary, she is going to be | :47:08. | :47:15. | |
leading the Department for Education which is about public education but | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
she is decidedly as a philanthropist being committed to destroying public | :47:21. | :47:26. | |
education in America. She very much favours... She doesn't see a | :47:27. | :47:32. | |
distension between public -- distinction between public education | :47:33. | :47:36. | |
and private education. It is Cerys that she -- it is very clear is that | :47:37. | :47:43. | |
he would nominate such a person. Donald Trump will become | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
the 45th President of President-Elect Trump | :47:48. | :47:49. | |
faces an unsettled world, with conflicts in the Middle East, | :47:50. | :47:51. | |
Europe working out what Brexit will look like and China | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
flexing its trade muscles. He's dropped a few hints | :47:56. | :47:58. | |
about his foreign policy plans. But what of the so-called | :47:59. | :48:00. | |
special relationship between the UK and the US, | :48:01. | :48:03. | |
which some say has Who famously said that Britain | :48:04. | :48:05. | |
would go to the back So how will our leaders be | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
approaching the new administration? And what impact could this have | :48:12. | :48:19. | |
on British businesses? Joining us now is Andrew | :48:20. | :48:22. | |
Rosindell, Conservative MP He's part of the government | :48:23. | :48:25. | |
committee that Gemma Godfrey, is a businesswoman | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
and CEO of Moola She was an advisor to | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
Arnold Schwarzenegger on the American version | :48:34. | :48:39. | |
of The Apprentice. And Paul Flynn joins | :48:40. | :48:40. | |
us from Cardiff. He's the Labour | :48:41. | :48:42. | |
MP for Newport West, who organised an MPs' debate last | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
year on whether Mr Trump should Thank you rejoining us. Andrew, I | :48:47. | :48:58. | |
spoke yesterday to the man who is likely to be the new US ambassador | :48:59. | :49:07. | |
to the EU -- thank you for joining us. He said he has had meetings at | :49:08. | :49:16. | |
Downing Street. Are you going to be looking at his book? We are in a | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
great position because we have a new president coming in who has made it | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
clear that he's a great admirer the UK, so we have got a lot to be | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
confident about. It is not necessarily the case that we are | :49:32. | :49:34. | |
going to see I do I with the new president on every issue, but we | :49:35. | :49:38. | |
have a friend in the White House -- going to see eye league. -- going to | :49:39. | :49:47. | |
see eye to eye. That is a change from the last two years were we had | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
someone who was not instinctively pro-British. Barack Obama said the | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
British would be last in line for a deal with the EU, so this is an | :49:57. | :50:04. | |
optimistic time for Britain? Philip Hammond has talked about the | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
prospects for what a Trump presidency means for the UK and he | :50:10. | :50:12. | |
says that there is now more uncertainty for the EU than there is | :50:13. | :50:17. | |
for Britain after Brexit, with Donald Trump in charge. I think that | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
is true. Brexit has come at a time when we are seeing global change and | :50:24. | :50:29. | |
America is exactly a case in point. We have great opportunities to trade | :50:30. | :50:31. | |
and cooperate and to work with countries with whom we have had | :50:32. | :50:38. | |
long-standing links and friendships like the United States, but being | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
told we are at the back of the Q did not help those who wanted to stay in | :50:42. | :50:46. | |
the EU in the end and it made the British people think we can make our | :50:47. | :50:49. | |
own way in the world as we have done throughout our history. With a new | :50:50. | :50:54. | |
president who will be willing to work with us and trade with us, that | :50:55. | :50:57. | |
has got to be a good thing for Britain. Is he shaping up to be a | :50:58. | :51:03. | |
great ally of the UK? We're hoping he will be and we know that Theresa | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
May has had great experience in trying to control another blonde | :51:08. | :51:13. | |
politician who shoots from the hip. The threat is far greater than | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
trade, the threat is to the harmony of the world. Donald Trump has | :51:18. | :51:27. | |
proved himself in the election to be a bird brained snake bile salesman | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
who will act like a petulant child when he is criticised, you would not | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
allow people to question him -- he would. He is out to wreck the | :51:37. | :51:41. | |
international treaty on global warming and he is out to wreck other | :51:42. | :51:44. | |
treaties that we have got on nuclear arms and he want to give nuclear | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
arms to small states, imperilling the world. He's going to change the | :51:49. | :51:56. | |
address of the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, very | :51:57. | :52:02. | |
dangerous, and he will wreck Obamacare, which is not perfect, but | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
it gives help to 20 million Americans and this man is the most | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
dangerous politician we've had in the White House probably ever. And | :52:12. | :52:16. | |
I'm extremely worried about the future, and for my children and | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
grandchildren. So how do you think Theresa May should handle relations | :52:22. | :52:27. | |
between UK the United States? She has got to handle them to get the | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
greatest benefit for us, that is true, and he is an Anglophile, but | :52:32. | :52:37. | |
his experience has been in making money and losing money. People in | :52:38. | :52:42. | |
Atlanta are not during this morning, he went into Atlanta and build a | :52:43. | :52:45. | |
casino which you said was the eighth wonder of the world and it is now | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
empty, he has taken the money and run away. We must know what we are | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
dealing with and just hope and pray that those moderate Republicans in | :52:55. | :53:00. | |
his party can hold him back because he has got the ability to sow | :53:01. | :53:07. | |
discord and division where there is doubt harmony. He's divided his | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
nation and he can surely divide the world. -- where there is now harmony | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
for them you has his impulsive finger on the nuclear button, it is | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
time for us to worry and be aware of the danger he presents to the world. | :53:21. | :53:29. | |
-- he has his impulsive finger. How should he handled the -- handle the | :53:30. | :53:38. | |
relationship with the UK? As businesses become more global and | :53:39. | :53:41. | |
international, like tech companies, and while we are in this period | :53:42. | :53:44. | |
where we are concerned about Brexit, with Europe buying less of our | :53:45. | :53:50. | |
products or having more guidelines around that, being able to sell more | :53:51. | :53:52. | |
products to the United States would be good. However, when we are | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
talking that dealing with Trump, he is a businessman as opposed to a | :53:59. | :54:01. | |
politician in terms of that background. We talk about the art of | :54:02. | :54:07. | |
the deal and we'd need to be aware that he likes to have different | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
deals on the table, and so while this could be potentially very good | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
for UK businesses, we have to be aware that we are at the beginning | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
of the journey, and this will be a negotiation. Does it strengthen | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
Theresa May's hand in dealing with the EU, when Trump says what he said | :54:24. | :54:28. | |
about the potential for a good deal with the United States? Absolute, | :54:29. | :54:34. | |
America is our best friend in the world we have worked with them | :54:35. | :54:37. | |
through many decades on all sorts of things. Our friends are the | :54:38. | :54:43. | |
Americans, our allies, and thank goodness we have a president who | :54:44. | :54:46. | |
says yes, we want to trade with you, yes we will do a trade agreement | :54:47. | :54:49. | |
with you and that surely is a good thing for Britain and the British | :54:50. | :54:56. | |
people. European Union is something we are leaving and although we want | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
good relations with Europe and we want to trade with Europe and have | :55:01. | :55:04. | |
sensible relations because they are our neighbours, and our allies, but | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
at the end of the day we are going global, a global Britain is what we | :55:09. | :55:12. | |
are hoping to achieve an Theresa May's vision of a global Britain is | :55:13. | :55:17. | |
very much helped if we have a president in the White House who | :55:18. | :55:20. | |
would like to restore the bust of Winston Churchill rather than remove | :55:21. | :55:25. | |
those symbols of that special relationship between Britain and the | :55:26. | :55:29. | |
United States. Paul Flynn was talking about his concerns about | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
Donald Trump and what it might mean. Do you share any of those concerns? | :55:34. | :55:40. | |
Paul comes from a different political perspective, quite the | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
opposite, on almost every issue, so I would expect all to be against | :55:45. | :55:47. | |
Donald Trump on everything, but I'm willing to give the president a fair | :55:48. | :55:50. | |
chance. I don't agree with everything he said and I think some | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
of things he has said and done, I would not condone at all, but he has | :55:54. | :56:00. | |
been elected. Like what? It is all in the past. It is what he said, | :56:01. | :56:05. | |
that he would do when he comes into office will stop its not really in | :56:06. | :56:11. | |
the past. In a presidential campaign, all sorts of things are | :56:12. | :56:14. | |
being said, but from today he is going to be president and it is | :56:15. | :56:17. | |
going to be a great celebration and a great inauguration in Washington. | :56:18. | :56:21. | |
Let's give him a chance and see what he does, and I'm certain that Paul, | :56:22. | :56:27. | |
myself and others will be the first to say that he has made mistakes and | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
it isn't right, but we need to make sure that Britain's interests are | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
very much aligned to America because we are the best friends and great | :56:37. | :56:39. | |
allies and long may that continue. Give him a chance? This is rhetoric | :56:40. | :56:46. | |
from Andrew, he wants to cover the real fear is that we have and the | :56:47. | :56:49. | |
dangers with this drizzle of optimism and fine words. We are in | :56:50. | :56:55. | |
great danger, we are going into Brexit, it might be have an or hell, | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
the Chancellor says there are bumps in the road -- it might be heaven. | :57:00. | :57:05. | |
There might be a sinkhole in the row that our economy falls into, into a | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
tailspin, dangerous days ahead in terms of Brexit, uncertainty, we | :57:11. | :57:13. | |
could end up as a banana republic without the bananas. There is a very | :57:14. | :57:21. | |
uncertain future ahead and if we fall into these divisions when we | :57:22. | :57:26. | |
had a settled world, because of political action against is, we had | :57:27. | :57:32. | |
Brexit in order to solve divisions in the Conservative Party -- | :57:33. | :57:40. | |
political extravagances. We have heard from the Prime Minister fine | :57:41. | :57:43. | |
words and ideas and optimism, but there is no basis that there will be | :57:44. | :57:48. | |
a secure future and with Trump in the White House it is going to be a | :57:49. | :57:53. | |
very dangerous future, unprecedented in my lifetime. There is no one that | :57:54. | :58:00. | |
has been as impulsive and has as little experience is in. We are on a | :58:01. | :58:08. | |
tight schedule, so you can't come back on his comments right now, but | :58:09. | :58:11. | |
we will talk about it more in the future. Thanks for joining us. | :58:12. | :58:18. | |
Coming up, what will happen and at what time today, we will have the | :58:19. | :58:24. | |
details are what will happen with Donald Trump's inauguration. An | :58:25. | :58:35. | |
insider's tour. I'm actually sitting where presidents of the past have | :58:36. | :58:36. | |
been sitting. Let's get the latest | :58:37. | :58:38. | |
weather update with Nick, and what's it looking | :58:39. | :58:40. | |
like for the inauguration Incoming Presidents can't change the | :58:41. | :58:50. | |
weather, and some have had to move the ceremonies inside because it has | :58:51. | :58:56. | |
been so cold, or snowy, and in the case of Ronald Reagan, his second | :58:57. | :59:01. | |
inauguration, because the wind-chill was minus 30. There is a weather | :59:02. | :59:07. | |
system moving through so we are getting outbreaks of rain. | :59:08. | :59:13. | |
Temperatures, raincoats at the ready, but it will be seven degrees. | :59:14. | :59:19. | |
We got off to a frosty start this morning, a sharp hard frost across | :59:20. | :59:21. | |
parts of southern England, and we have had a fog patches especially in | :59:22. | :59:27. | |
the Midlands. Frosty and murky here in Leicestershire. These are the | :59:28. | :59:34. | |
temperatures a short time ago, coldest areas in eastern parts of | :59:35. | :59:38. | |
Scotland into Aberdeenshire. Shetland started around eight, | :59:39. | :59:44. | |
though. Turning the weather upside down with the coldest weather across | :59:45. | :59:50. | |
rural areas in southern England. Look at the extent of sunshine on | :59:51. | :59:53. | |
offer today, we have a weather front across parts of northern England and | :59:54. | :59:58. | |
southern Scotland, so proud for you, but also sunshine to come, into the | :59:59. | :00:02. | |
Channel Islands. This is the picture at noon. You can see the extent of | :00:03. | :00:08. | |
the sunshine, misty in places, the fog patches are clearing. For | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Northern Ireland and northern parts of northern England and into | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
southern Scotland and the central belt, I'm afraid a rather great | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
picture, drizzly in places -- grey. There will be a cold feel, enhancing | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
that across southern England into the south-west is the easterly | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
breeze, with more of a bite. Temperatures will top out at around | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
5-8, but there will be a few places which will be higher than that, | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
especially in the far north of Scotland. Some sunshine on offer for | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
many of us, under clear skies tonight the frost takes hold, more | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
clear weather, that means more widespread frost than recent nights | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
and in the countryside we could be dropping as low as minus six. Fog | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
patches, as well. Early on Saturday morning. Parts of eastern in the | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
good be most at risk that we have some fog patches as we start of the | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
weekend. This is the weekend, Saturday, this is the picture, foggy | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
start in places, but a good deal of sunshine, also across Scotland, | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
Northern Ireland, north-west England, for time, but through | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Saturday we dragged the area of cloud from the North Sea across | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
parts of central and eastern England. Through Saturday and into | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
Sunday, wet weather, not amounting to very much, but damp and drizzly | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
in places and wintry over the tops of the hills. More cloud for the | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
second part of the weekend on Sunday, a few showers and some sunny | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
spells, a cold feel, but it is high pressure so much of the weekend is | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
looking settled and that was the forecast. | :01:45. | :01:54. | |
In just a few hours' time, Donald Trump will be sworn | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
in as the 45th president of the United States. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
Hello, good morning, I'm Joanna Gosling. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
Donald Trump has been addressing supporters in Washington. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
We are going to make America great again, | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
and I'll add greater than ever before! | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
This is the scene live in Washington as America prepares to wake up | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
Washington is setting the scene for the main event of the day, | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
as just under a million people are expected to flood the capital | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
to watch the inauguration or march in the streets to protest | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
We made it our business to get down here. Whatever it took, we were | :02:38. | :02:51. | |
going to be here. He is somebody that has me gravely concerned about | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
the future of the American Republic. That can the man who spoke about | :02:56. | :03:09. | |
building walls to keep out Mexicans and banning Muslims carry through on | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
that promise? We'll speak to insiders | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
about what action he will take insiders, voters, supporters | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
and critics of the man who so many said would never make | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
it to the top job. Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
with a summary of today's news. Donald Trump is just hours away | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
from the world's most powerful job. He will bring in what could be the | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
most radical change in American politics in modern times. He said he | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
would unify the country and give a voice to people who have been | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
forgotten. Thousands of police officers are on duty in the American | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
capital, with many protest expected. And you can watch coverage of Donald | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Trump's inauguration as the 45th President of the United States here | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
on BBC News. Our coverage begins at three o'clock live from Washington | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
with Katty Kay, with the new president due to be sworn in at 5pm | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
UK time. A group of British doctors say | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
they've transformed the diagnosis of prostate cancer - | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
by using MRI scans. It's the most common type of cancer | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
in men in the UK and is normally Researchers believe advanced MRIs | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
could reduce the number of men who need biopsies, | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
which can lead to Figures show retail sales in the UK | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
dropped 1.9% last month But sales rose overall | :04:32. | :04:51. | |
in the last quarter of 2016. The data from the Office | :04:52. | :04:55. | |

compared with a year ago - A man has been evicted | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
from hospital, after unnecessarily occupying a bed for more | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
than two years. The patient had refused to leave | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
the James Paget University Hospital in Norfolk, despite being fit | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
for discharge and being offered Our correspondent Sian Grzeszczyk | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
is following the story. Well, it was after | :05:11. | :05:19. | |
by BBC Radio Norfolk them she'd heard an open secret | :05:20. | :05:35. | |
on the ward that a patient had been there for two years after being | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
admitted in August 2014. When BBC Radio 4 got in touch with | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
the hospital, they confirmed that this was the case, but said the | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
patient had left about a week ago but only when they used trespassed | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
laws and got a court order to remove him from the hospital. And what more | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
do we know about this patient? Presumably he was there for | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
legitimate reasons in the first place? We don't know his name or his | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
age because of patient confidentiality rules. We do know | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
that he lives in Suffolk and that he was admitted in August 2014, but | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
that he was medically fit to be discharged shortly after entering | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
the hospital, so you might be wondering why it has taken two years | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
for him to leave. The hospital said they offered him several different | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
packages of care, and he refused all of those. And without his consent, | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
they couldn't make him leave the hospital, which is why they had to | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
get a court order in the end. Patients as you can imagine have | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
been reaction to this, one patient told the BBC she was disgusted to | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
hear what has happened, and she says she feels like that patient has used | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
the hospital as a hotel. The hospital has given us a statement in | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
which they said that the decision to go to court was not taken lightly, | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
but our priority has to be considering the needs of all of our | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
patients and ensuring that our limited resources which are under | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
increasing pressure are available to those who genuinely need hospital | :07:08. | :07:08. | |
care. Sian, thank you very much. A British man has died while working | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
on a stadium for the 2022 World Cup The event's organisers say | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
an investigation is under The 40-year-old man has not been | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
named, but the authorities That is a summary of the latest | :07:24. | :07:41. | |
news. Back to you, Joanna fours. David says, I think that the | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
Republicans will convince Donald Trump to be more moderate. They will | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
want more than one term in office and will begin at period of | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
sustained government. All of this fuss and bother because drug does | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
not confirm, stop ripping him apart, and Jim says keep reminding the | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
critics of Trump that the people of the United States voted for him. As | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
far as I'm concerned, that is the end of the story. Do keep your | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
stories coming in. Remember text will be charged at the standard | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
network rate. We will be talking more about Donald Trump and his | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
policies in just a few moments, but first the sport with Olly Foster. | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
Many thanks. You called Dan Evans a sweetie in the last hour. | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
He is having the tournament of his life. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
He is into his first Grand Slam 4th round. | :08:41. | :08:41. | |
He beat the Top 10 player Marin Cilic in the last match | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
And in the last few minutes he has beaten the Australian 27th | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
It was really tight match, taking the first set 7-5, | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
His run in Melbourne will see him break in the world's top | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
Next up he'll play 12th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France. | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
Andy Murray showed little sign of the ankle problem he picked up | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
in the 2nd round as he breezed through his 3rd round match | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
against Sam Querrey at the Australian Open. | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
He beat the American in straight sets 6-4, 6-2, | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
It's the ninth year in a row that he's reached the 4th | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
I have played a little bit better each match. There is not one thing I | :09:27. | :09:36. | |
have been delighted with. I thought I did much better today than I did | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
in the first two matches, which is really positive for me. But yes, I | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
think each match I have improved a little bit, and that is a good sign, | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
so hopefully I will keep getting better. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |

He's serving a six-week ban at the moment | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
There's a welcome return for some of the key players | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
who missed the autumn internationls throutgh injury. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
That includes James Haskell, Maro Itoje, Anthony Watson, | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
British sailor Alex Thomson has finished the Vendee Globe solo | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
He came second in a time of 74 days, 19 hours and 35 minutes, | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
about 16 hours behind the French winner Armel Le Cleach. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
Hampshire-based Thomson had led in the early stages and broke | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
two race records prior to being overtaken in December | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
He matches Dame Ellen Mcarthur's second-placed finish | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Are amazing to be finished. You never knew really know when it is | :10:52. | :11:01. | |
going to happen, I relied a couple of hours before that I was | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
definitely going to finish. It is a long, long way, and it is just great | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
to finally be here. I think 24, 36 hours ago, I knew that was the end, | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
so congratulations, what a great race he has done, he really deserved | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
it, so two seconds and a first, that is a great record, I think! | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
It is fantastic. That is a brutal race. | :11:28. | :11:27. | |
Olly, thank you very much. Donald Trump's policies will come | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
under intense scrutiny in the early Among the potentially divisive | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
talking points are: plans to build Stringent security checks on Muslims | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
entering the US. Looking to move the US | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Embassy in Israel And then there's his | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
which has proved worrying So, just what are | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
Donald Trump's policies? We're going to dream | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
of things for our country, and beautiful things, | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
and successful things once again. You will be so proud | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
of your president. We're going to do the wall, | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
and by the way... Donald Trump's pledge was clear - | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
to build a wall on the country's They're talking about a fence | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
in the Republican Congress - For certain areas I would, | :12:33. | :12:42. | |
but certain areas, a wall Mexico will still pay for the wall, | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Trump says, but this could be Trump remains committed to removing | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
large numbers of illegal What we are going to do is get | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
the people that are criminal and have criminal records - | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
gang members, drug dealers... We have a lot of these people, | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
probably 2 million, it could even be 3 million - we're getting | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
them out of our country But it is unclear if this | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
divisive pledge... Donald J Trump is calling | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
entering the United States. Job creation was a top | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
priority for Trump. We are living through | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
the greatest jobs theft Our jobs are going to Mexico, our | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
jobs are going to other countries. And he's wasted no time | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
at all threatening car manufacturers with a 35% import tariff | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
for making their products abroad. Trump says it's already had | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
success, with Ford looking The announcements that we're making | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
today of a $700 million investment here in our Flat Rock, Michigan, | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
plant, and adding 700 jobs, one of the factors that we put | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
into that is the more favourable US business environment that we see | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
under President-elect Trump. Trump finally said last week that | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
Russia was most likely behind a cyber attack on the Democrats | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
during the election. As far as hacking, I think | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
it was Russia, but I think we also get hacked by other countries | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
and other people. But his willingness to get | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
along with President If Putin likes Donald | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
Trump, I consider that Trump has also signalled | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
strong support for Israel. Israel to me is very, | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
very important. During the election campaign, | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
Trump was very clear - the health insurance programme | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
nicknamed Obamacare, he said, would Obamacare has to be replaced, | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
and we will do it, and we will do But after transition talks | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
with the outgoing president, sure that people with | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
preconditions are still covered? Yes, because it happens to be one | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
of the strongest assets. Also with the children | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
living with their parents We're going to very | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
much try and keep that. But whether Trump can | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
achieve his goals and bring together a divided United States | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
remains to be seen. We're going to get to work | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
immediately for the American people. We must reclaim our | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
country's destiny. Let's talk now to | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
Republican strategist Clark Judge, also in Washington, | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
who was a speech writer and advisor Leslie Vinjamuri, an associate | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
fellow of the US Programme And welcome back to Jef McAllister, | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
a former White House Wrong, first of all, we have an | :15:59. | :16:16. | |
e-mail, he says I believe professional politicians within the | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
Republicans will moderate Donald Trump -- Ron. How do you react to | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
that? I react to that in a very positive manner. I've spoken with | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
the House Speaker Paul Ryan and he's very much looking forward to working | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
with the new President of the United States in just a few hours, along | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
with Senate Majority Leader. The goals of the Republicans are very | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
clear and we have not had 3% economic GDP growth in the last | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
eight years. President travelled like to create 25 minute jobs and | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
have 4% GDP growth over the next eight years -- President Trump would | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
like to create 25 million jobs. There are professional politicians | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
who have been in Washington and who know how government works and I | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
think they will have a very positive impact on the 45th president of the | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
United States. You mean some of the more extreme policies just won't | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
happen? What I mean, there is one thing, as I notice with President | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
Bush, who I worked with, what you say on the campaign trail and what | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
you do when you get in office. There is a different reality with actually | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
governing and working with people to make meaningful accomplishments. | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
What I mean by a positive influence, they are all leaders and they are | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
all responsible for doing the best for the American people. Some of his | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
nominees for Cabinet have backed away from some of the more | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
controversial policies already. How do you see things involving? Within | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
the people around him and also the way that Republicans set policies. | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
In many ways the most notable and interesting thing about this entire | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
transition period has been the level of uncertainty that we have felt. We | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
have had that at many levels. As we have listened to the hearings and | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
the confirmation hearings we have heard different things coming out of | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
his future Secretary of State and his secretary of defence. Compared | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
to Donald Trump. We have also seen uncertainty across the spectrum, | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
will people support this president? In terms of what he has said he will | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
do, he has moved on a number policies. The nature of the | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
transition has created uncertainty because so many positions at the | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
level of deputy are simply not filled. He has announced he will | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
carry over 50 people from the Obama Administration and leave them in | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
place. All very good people, but the nature of the transition and the | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
nature of Donald Trump's personality and the concrete policies that he | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
has articulated but members of his cabinet have suggested they may not | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
follow, how he thinks about Russia and how we think about the Iran | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
deal. The entire context is about deep uncertainty going forward. Do | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
you see evidence of pragmatism? One example which was put forward was | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
the Obamacare, Donald Trump had said that was going to go and then he had | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
conversations with the president and he said he would keep parts of it | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
because some parts are not all that bad. Is he a man who listens? He is | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
not a real Republican in many ways. He got the nomination and he got the | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
presidency, but his whole career, he took positions which were favoured | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
to Democrats and he was in favour of abortion rights and he was in favour | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
of Obamacare originally. He's not ideological in some sense. He plays | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
with the guys who bring him to the dance and that is the Republican | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
party that has got to get him to accomplish things. Outside experts | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
say if he gets rid of Obamacare, 20 million people will be not insured | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
and it would be a political evil and a disaster and all the people that | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
came and yelled about Obamacare, they are the people losing their | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
injuries, they will now yell at Republicans and that will be bad for | :20:34. | :20:43. | |
him -- they are the people losing their injuries for the Donald Trump | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
is a smart guy and he will find a good deal, but the question is, will | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
he be able to build coalitions? Is he strategic enough, does it have to | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
be about him? So far much of his rhetoric seems to imply that. You | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
worked as a speech writer and advisor for armed raid. Donald Trump | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
has said he's looking to Ronald Reagan -- you work as a and advisor | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
for Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan, like Donald Trump, a | :21:11. | :21:19. | |
man who went into politics not as a career politician, do you see some | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
similarities between the two in terms of not being beholden to that | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
party line? Both of them were insurgent candidates who build new | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
coalitions. And both of them were also highly accomplished | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
deal-makers. Ronald Reagan had been head of the union and was in essence | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
a professional negotiator just as Donald Trump is, so there are a | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
number of similarities between them, including that as with Ronald | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
Reagan, Donald Trump has energised large parts of the American | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
electorate that were feeling neglected. Ryan Christie, looking at | :22:05. | :22:14. | |
areas of policy-making -- Ron Christie. Starting with Russia and | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
what he said about the intelligence and the hacking during the election | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
campaign, and what he is saying about Russia and his relationship | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
with them going forward, starting from a visiting of trust but maybe | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
it's a question of how long that lasts -- from a position of trust. | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
How do you see that issue? It is interesting, picking up on Ronald | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
Reagan, he had the old adage, trust but verify, one thing we have got to | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
recognise is that Russia is not a friend of the United States and | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Russia has taken actions which have been detrimental to the United | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
States and of course the stability of Nato and the stability of Western | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
Europe and our trading interests. It is very incumbent upon the new | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
president to set a tone with Russia that we're willing to work with you | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
where we can, but we are not going to accept interference with our | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
Dummigan C and we are not going to uphold the actions they have taken | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
in Crimea and other parts of the world -- we are not going to accept | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
interference with our democracy. The United States working with our | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
allies, our strong leisure ship with the UK, we need to make sure that | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
Russia understands that they will be met with a certain response if they | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
tried to stop our country from doing business -- our strong relationship | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
with the UK. That is not the message which has been coming through so | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
far. Yes, Europe feels, is Donald Trump going to work with us? The | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
Russia question is interesting, it is not clear if Donald Trump can | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
bring Washington along with him in his desire to recast America's | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
relationship with Russia. His aggressive attacks on his own | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
intelligence community and agencies for the briefs they put together on | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
cyber attacks and Russia's engagement, they were deeply | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
worrying. The fallout from his concerted effort to really put | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
forward this relationship could be grave and we don't know what Russia | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
will do. Donald Trump says he will lift sanctions if Russia engages | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
with arms reductions, but Russia has a different set of interests when it | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
comes to nuclear arms, they care about missile defence and Congress | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
is not going to want to walk back from America's policy in this area. | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
Their interests are not in the same place and now that Donald Trump will | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
be president, his constraints will be different from what he has been | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
able to articulate on the campaign trail and as President-elect. The | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
Ronald Reagan line was mentioned, trust but verify, what shall take on | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
the Russian situation? So far, Russia and the United States, and | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
also China, all talks have been in side logs. Especially with China and | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
also with Russia. Donald Trump looks to be trying to put those silos | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
together to get a broader feel for negotiation. For example, his | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
security people whether it is Daniel... Michael Flynn, who said | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
Iran were our principal enemies, or others, they have been very tough on | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
Russia, and they the security side. The Secretary of State designate is | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
of course from the economic side and he understands that in particular at | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
the heart of the Russian economy is oil and gas in the future of it in | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
those terms is the article. You have a team that is able to mad | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
negotiations with Russia that are broad-spectrum -- those terms is the | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
Arctic. I think Vladimir Putin would like to move away from the | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
aggressive manner and into a more stable relationship with the West. | :26:19. | :26:27. | |
It can each of you sum up how you see the Trump presidency on this | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
inauguration Day? There is tremendous prospect for the country, | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
the country needs to go in a different direction, we have had | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
long-term slow growth and a large group of Americans have been left | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
out of the economy. We have had rising prices around the world and I | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
think there is great hope in restructuring our relationships in | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
many ways. Every new inauguration brings a sense of hope and optimism | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
and that we are able to transfer power in a democratic and peaceful | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
way, and I wish the new President-elect all the best of luck | :27:06. | :27:07. | |
and I hope he brings the country together and brings the world | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
together with his presidency. I don't think America has faced a | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
period in its history with such grave divisions since maybe the | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
Vietnam era, we have marches and we expect 250,000 people to be marching | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
in Washington alone tomorrow. Marches across 60 different | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
countries. And so I think the uncertainty can't be understated and | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
this will be a real test for America to see whether or not the system | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
that has been built over many decades to protect rights and | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
freedoms and due process and the rule of law, it will be challenged | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
and we will learn about the strength of the United States as a democratic | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
system going forward. We will be speaking to Mohammed Arley's | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
daughter in a few moments -- Muhammad Ali's daughter. Donald | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
Trump has tapped into something but he's unlikely to the right | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
prescription. Presidents don't change in office fundamentally and | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
he is a tempestuous and fundamentally self absorbed person | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
and I don't think he has the discipline for office. Thanks for | :28:24. | :28:25. | |
joining us. Traditionally the inauguration | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
ceremony begins early at the exclusive White House guest | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
residence and continues We'll bring you more on how the day | :28:36. | :28:37. | |
is scheduled to pan out Washington is setting the scene for | :28:38. | :28:47. | |
the main event but not everyone is there to celebrate. We will speak to | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
some protesters about why they are marching against his presidency. | :28:52. | :29:04. | |
That is next after the news. And now a summary of the latest news. | :29:05. | :29:07. | |
Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president | :29:08. | :29:09. | |
of the United States today, ushering in what could be the most | :29:10. | :29:12. | |
radical change in American government in modern times. | :29:13. | :29:14. | |
The billionaire businessman told crowds gathered in Washington | :29:15. | :29:16. | |
that he will unify the country and give a voice to people | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
Thousands of police officers are on duty in the American capital, | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
with many protests expected against Mr Trump. | :29:26. | :29:28. | |
A group of British doctors say they've transformed the diagnosis | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
of prostate cancer - by using MRI scans. | :29:33. | :29:36. | |
It's the most common type of cancer in men in the UK and is normally | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
Researchers believe advanced MRIs could reduce the number | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
of men who need biopsies, which can lead to | :29:45. | :29:46. | |
Figures show retail sales in the UK dropped 1.9% last month | :29:47. | :29:53. | |
But sales rose overall in the last quarter of 2016. | :29:54. | :30:02. | |
The data from the Office for National Statstics also shows | :30:03. | :30:05. | |
retail prices rose 0.9% in December compared with a year ago - | :30:06. | :30:08. | |
A man has been evicted from hospital, after unnecessarily | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
occupying a bed for more than two years. | :30:15. | :30:21. | |
The patient had refused to leave the James Paget University Hospital | :30:22. | :30:24. | |
in Norfolk, despite being fit for discharge and being offered | :30:25. | :30:26. | |
The hospital said the decision to go to court was a last resort. | :30:27. | :30:34. | |
Rescuers in Italy are hoping to find more survivors from an avalanche | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
Four people are known to have died - and 25 are still missing. | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
Four earthquakes rocked central Italy two days ago, | :30:42. | :30:43. | |
with tremors continuing into the night. | :30:44. | :30:46. | |
That's a summary of the latest news - join me for BBC | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
Time for some more sport now, with Olly Foster. | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
hello again. Dan Evans is into the fourth round of a grand slam for the | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
first time, fresh from beating the seven seat, Marin Cilic, he has | :31:00. | :31:05. | |
beaten the Australian 27 the seed Bernard Tomic in seven sets in the | :31:06. | :31:11. | |
Australian Open. He also beat him a couple of years ago at the US Open. | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
Evans took the first set 7-5, the next two sets on tie-breaks. He will | :31:16. | :31:24. | |
break into the top 50 for the first hour. He will play Jo-Wilfried | :31:25. | :31:30. | |
Tsonga next. Andy Murray showed little sign of the ankle problems he | :31:31. | :31:32. | |
has had. in the 2nd round as he breezed | :31:33. | :31:40. | |
through his 3rd round match against Sam Querrey | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
at the Australian Open. He beat the American | :31:44. | :31:45. | |
in straight sets 6-4, 6-2, It's the ninth year in a row that | :31:46. | :31:47. | |
he's reached the 4th I have played a little | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
bit better each match. There's not been one thing I have | :31:54. | :31:59. | |
been delighted with. I thought I did much | :32:00. | :32:01. | |
better today than I did in the first two matches, | :32:02. | :32:03. | |
which is really positive for me. But yes, I think each | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
match I have improved a little bit, and that is a good sign, | :32:07. | :32:07. | |
so hopefully I will keep getting England rugby union head coach Eddie | :32:08. | :32:16. | |
Jones says his team will be better prepared. | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
There are three uncapped players in the 34 man England squad | :32:20. | :32:22. | |
for the Six Natiosn Championship Bath prop Nathan Catt, | :32:23. | :32:24. | |
Leicester forward Mike Williams and Saracens back Alex | :32:25. | :32:26. | |
Captain Dylan Hartley is incldued and has been declared match fit. | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
He's serving a six-week ban at the moment | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
There's a welcome return for some of the key players | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
who missed the autumn internationls throutgh injury. | :32:38. | :32:38. | |
That includes James Haskell, Maro Itoje, Anthony Watson, | :32:39. | :32:40. | |
The six Nations should be a cracker this year. You can watch it all | :32:41. | :32:53. | |
across the BBC. That is all your sport this morning. | :32:54. | :33:03. | |
Thank you very much. Thousands of people are Washington for the | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
inauguration of Donald Trump. Not everyone is preparing to welcome | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
Donald Trump to the Oval Office. Several protests are planned, | :33:11. | :33:12. | |
including a Women's March on Washington, part of a global | :33:13. | :33:14. | |
march, which began on social media as a means for women | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
to express their anger at the swearing-in of what they see | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
as a divisive candidate. Throughout his campaign, Donald | :33:21. | :33:22. | |
Trump's comments and behaviour towards women have caused offence, | :33:23. | :33:24. | |
from the access Hollywood take when he talks about groping women without | :33:25. | :33:27. | |
consequences to his plans for reducing funding for reproductive | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
research. And he has made abusive comments to a number of women from | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
his opponent Hillary Clinton to the news presenter Megan Kelly. Protests | :33:36. | :33:43. | |
will take place in several cities around the world. There are 600 | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
matches taking place around the globe, with almost 1.5 million women | :33:50. | :33:56. | |
and men expected to turn up. And the McNally is in London, Zara Ballou in | :33:57. | :34:04. | |
the United States, and also from Los Angeles, the daughter of legendary | :34:05. | :34:05. | |
boxer Muhammad Ali. Maryum Ali will be speaking | :34:06. | :34:17. | |
at the Washington march on Saturday. Maryum, what you think of Donald | :34:18. | :34:30. | |
Trump? I am not a fan. I wanted Bernie Sanders to win, and then I | :34:31. | :34:36. | |
voted for Hillary. Donald Trump has a history of discriminating against | :34:37. | :34:41. | |
African Americans. His buildings, the birth movement is horrendous, | :34:42. | :34:50. | |
saying Barack Obama was not American. The concern is we only | :34:51. | :34:53. | |
know Donald Trump based on who Donald Trump has been. I hope he is | :34:54. | :35:00. | |
able to create jobs. I hope America can be great in four years, but | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
based on what we have seen of him, how he has run his campaign and just | :35:04. | :35:08. | |
his level of majority, it is doubtful, so I am not a fan, but he | :35:09. | :35:14. | |
is the President, I am not stressing over it, it is definitely time to | :35:15. | :35:17. | |
organise and plan and make things happen in this next four years. He | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
says he is speaking for disenfranchised people. If you know | :35:22. | :35:28. | |
a little bit about American history, it has always been a tool of the | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
powerful to tell the poor majority that they are poor because of the | :35:34. | :35:38. | |
minorities. This is a practice that has happened throughout our | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
country's history, so we will see if he can help the poor, and if all | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
poor will be better off with him in office. He has great talking points, | :35:49. | :35:55. | |
he did that very well, I actually am impressed by his determination to | :35:56. | :36:00. | |
win. He really practised the laws of attraction brilliantly, because he | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
was very confident, he made that happen. But time will tell. Right | :36:04. | :36:09. | |
now, to me, it is really not about him, it is about standing up for the | :36:10. | :36:14. | |
rights of all people, trying to make sure the 14th Amendment is enforced, | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
the one that gives us equal protection under the law. There is a | :36:20. | :36:25. | |
lot at stake. It is a women's march budget is also a march for other | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
people. Women's rights, health care, various forms of discrimination, for | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
all people here in this country. So we have a lot of work to do. Did | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
your dad ever share any views on Donald Trump? He did make a | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
statement last year, probably got a little help with that because he was | :36:43. | :36:46. | |
in the late stage of Parkinson that the time, but the statement about | :36:47. | :36:54. | |
banning Muslims, it is ridiculous. I am a Muslim as well, I read my Koran | :36:55. | :36:58. | |
every year during the month of Ramadan, and I know what Jaye jihad | :36:59. | :37:08. | |
really is, I know that Muslims are not terrorists, and it is the Muslim | :37:09. | :37:11. | |
population who will help protect America from terrorists. And to do | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
that and say that against Muslims and say it is the religion, I think | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
that can put us in more danger here in the United States. Lets bring in | :37:21. | :37:31. | |
Zara Bilou, Muslim and civil rights activist. What you think? I think we | :37:32. | :37:41. | |
need to mobilise, and he we are because we didn't mobilise enough. | :37:42. | :37:46. | |
All of these rallies this weekend is about making it clear that from day | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
one, there will be resistance if Donald Trump attempts to fulfil any | :37:50. | :37:56. | |
of his campaign promises that would target our communities. So what | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
would you do if he did try to enforce some of those policies? We | :38:02. | :38:05. | |
are already doing that. Part of what began as well before the election | :38:06. | :38:09. | |
and has continued since then has been knowing your rights training in | :38:10. | :38:12. | |
the community, making sure people know what to do if immigration | :38:13. | :38:18. | |
agents show up, if FBI agents show up, if they are interacting with | :38:19. | :38:26. | |
local police. There is a lot of talk about interaction before and after | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
the election, so we are talking to people about public safety. But we | :38:30. | :38:33. | |
want everyone to understand that it is not just about racists and | :38:34. | :38:42. | |
misogynists and Islamophobia being emboldened to act, it is about the | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
fact that Donald Trump is ringing some of those people into his | :38:48. | :38:50. | |
administration with him. Have you personally seen or experienced hate | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
crimes since Donald Trump? I have been really fortunate, and granted I | :38:56. | :38:58. | |
live in the San Francisco Bay Area, one of the areas that jokes about | :38:59. | :39:04. | |
leaving the United States if it should get worse, but we do serve | :39:05. | :39:09. | |
clients, and on a regular basis, the day after the election, young | :39:10. | :39:15. | |
woman's headscarf was pulled off in broad daylight on her college | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
campus. That kind of incident has become very normal in our country, | :39:20. | :39:22. | |
and it is one example of a type of hate crime that Muslims experience. | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
Ehmer McNally, you are organising the UK's women's March. Why are you | :39:28. | :39:34. | |
doing that? For all of the reasons that have been discussed. This | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
campaign has been characterised by language that stokes fear and | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
division. The most striking feature of it is hoped deeply divided our | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
societies are. Hillary Clinton stated that clearly, and we have | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
seen it here as well. We are seeing this as a dipping point. The trumpet | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
election has been a catalyst, and everybody is saying enough is | :39:57. | :40:01. | |
enough. We have serious social inequality in trench, persistent | :40:02. | :40:06. | |
inequality, Oxfam has just released figures that state that the top | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
wealthiest billionaires hold the same wealth as the poorest 36 | :40:10. | :40:16. | |
billion. It is beginning to seem very clear that our politicians are | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
not rising to the challenge of dealing with that inequality but are | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
servicing it. You talk about the division. All Trump says he didn't | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
create the division, it was there. Ultimately, he is the person who has | :40:32. | :40:34. | |
been picked by Americans to be the President. Yes, and that is a very | :40:35. | :40:41. | |
serious question. That is what the majority, not the popular majority | :40:42. | :40:44. | |
but in terms of the weather system works, that is how it works. This is | :40:45. | :40:51. | |
a democratic outcome, and we are not questioning that, but what we are | :40:52. | :40:53. | |
looking to do is change the ground under his feet, because the reason | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
for that political outcome is this profound inequality, and people want | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
to change, and it is right that they should want to change, so our way of | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
going about organising the marches to go straight for the jugular with | :41:06. | :41:10. | |
that inequality. We have been contacting groups, individuals and | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
organisations right across all areas of social struggle who are dealing | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
with people on the front line of these inequalities, along the fault | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
lines of race and misogyny, all forms of discriminatory practice in | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
language, and we are trying to come together for a grassroot up response | :41:27. | :41:32. | |
for centralised... It has been disgraceful how the politicians have | :41:33. | :41:40. | |
been dealing with it. And Maryum Ali, in terms of how things have | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
been under President Obama, there have been issues on that front with | :41:45. | :41:53. | |
President Obama in charge. Obama is not a miracle worker, and when you | :41:54. | :41:56. | |
have a country that is apathetic to being cynically involved, not voting | :41:57. | :41:59. | |
in midterm elections, there is a balance of power in the government. | :42:00. | :42:10. | |
Congress, the majority was Republican, so what I'm going to | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
base my short two minutes on tomorrow is going to be civic in | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
gauge but, because we have masses of people who are not involved, and to | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
say he was about to get rid of the recession and have health care for | :42:24. | :42:26. | |
all, but he to solve all the other problems of the inner-city is | :42:27. | :42:34. | |
delusional. So I really think we are putting the cart before horse. There | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
have to be major campaigns to get people involved. We need the power | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
of the people, that is the way government works. It is annoying to | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
say that under Obama, what about race relations, that is ridiculous. | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
He is like any other president, if you are not going to have a | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
Democratic house and Senate, and his bills are not going to go through, | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
how many things can he do? I thought he was a great president, there were | :43:03. | :43:06. | |
a lot of people apathetic to voting, we have to get people involved. And | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
in terms of Trump having so much support, he won, but what are the | :43:12. | :43:14. | |
real numbers? The popular vote went to Hillary, and everybody else | :43:15. | :43:20. | |
didn't vote. If you can't blame a president for not fixing the | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
situation, how much can you pain on another for what happens in society? | :43:26. | :43:30. | |
The Republican said loud and clear they were going to block everything | :43:31. | :43:35. | |
he does. We are coming together in solidarity, all groups, based on the | :43:36. | :43:41. | |
discriminatory comments this man has made and how he has lived his whole | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
life. So all we are saying is we are going to organise, if you break the | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
law, if you take our rights, the Constitution has given us those | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
right and we are going to fight for them. We are not saying he is not | :43:54. | :43:58. | |
president, he is president, but we will organise things based on the | :43:59. | :44:06. | |
law. No one gave Obama a chance, they hated him immediately, and I | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
knew the kind of talk and the degradation and the demeaning things | :44:11. | :44:17. | |
they said about Michelle being an ape, it was outrageous. There was so | :44:18. | :44:22. | |
much hypocrisy. And now we are looking at this man talking about | :44:23. | :44:34. | |
grabbing women's body parts, we don't like the man, we are going to | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
see what he is going to do, but we have to organise to protect our | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
civil rights, and based on what he said so far, he is trying to roll | :44:42. | :44:48. | |
those back. Zahra, looking at the country you live in right now, how | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
do you feel? We have our work cut out for us. So many of the civil | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
liberties erosion is that happened under President Obama I'm now going | :44:58. | :45:05. | |
to be accessible to the Donald Trump, deportation of undocumented | :45:06. | :45:07. | |
individuals, all of those things have been happening for eight years, | :45:08. | :45:10. | |
and longer than that, for the past 15 years. And we let it happen | :45:11. | :45:19. | |
because as Maryum mentioned, we are not as engaged as we need to be, we | :45:20. | :45:22. | |
need to be out in the streets but also in the halls of Congress | :45:23. | :45:25. | |
pushing our elected officials to protect all of us. Thank you all | :45:26. | :45:33. | |
very much, Maryum Ali, Zahra Billou and Emma McNally. | :45:34. | :45:37. | |
So, how will inauguration day pan out for President-elect Trump? | :45:38. | :45:39. | |
It begins early at the exclusive White House guest residence. | :45:40. | :45:41. | |
And from there, it's a day of tradition and ceremony | :45:42. | :45:44. | |
That I will faithfully execute the office of president... | :45:45. | :45:50. | |
So, how does it all work on inauguration day? | :45:51. | :45:57. | |
This is where Donald Trump will wake up on | :45:58. | :45:59. | |
It's the White House guesthouse, Blair House. | :46:00. | :46:07. | |
Doesn't look like much, really, though, does it? | :46:08. | :46:09. | |
It's been nicknamed the most exclusive hotel in the world, | :46:10. | :46:12. | |
and that's because it's played host to some distinguished guests over | :46:13. | :46:15. | |
And that's where Mr Trump will head to | :46:16. | :46:26. | |
And actually, Barack Obama came for a service here on the | :46:27. | :46:29. | |
Look at this, it's absolutely beautiful! | :46:30. | :46:38. | |
So, here I am in the President's pew, so I'm | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
actually sitting where presidents in history have sat | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
So, after he's done, Donald Trump takes a very | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
short journey across the road to the White House. | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
I don't think they're going to let us in there. | :46:56. | :46:58. | |
As is part of the tradition, he'll go to | :46:59. | :47:00. | |
the White House to meet President Obama. | :47:01. | :47:01. | |
They'll have morning coffee together. | :47:02. | :47:06. | |
And another tradition that always happens as well is that the | :47:07. | :47:08. | |
outgoing president always writes the incoming president | :47:09. | :47:10. | |
This, the US Capitol, is where Donald Trump will | :47:11. | :47:20. | |
officially become president when he's sworn in. | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
Politicians and dignitaries, that sort of thing, | :47:25. | :47:26. | |
But the rest of us will all have to watch down on The Mall. | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
So now we're heading to the cheap seats. | :47:32. | :47:38. | |
This is the National Mall - there's not much to see here, | :47:39. | :47:41. | |
But if you don't have a ticket to the | :47:42. | :47:44. | |
inauguration, then this is where you'll come to watch it. | :47:45. | :47:49. | |
Next comes the parade, which heads towards the | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
White House, and is led by the President and the First Lady. | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
The parade even goes past here, Donald Trump's new hotel, | :47:59. | :48:03. | |
So maybe they'll even get out here and walk. | :48:04. | :48:07. | |
And who would have thought that when he was planning | :48:08. | :48:09. | |
this hotel, Donald Trump would one day be moving into the White House | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
I want to bring you some amazing news from Italy, the avalanche | :48:13. | :48:26. | |
yesterday, we are hearing six people have been found alive under snow | :48:27. | :48:33. | |
after the avalanche. They are yet to be pulled up at a Fire Department | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
official is being quoted on the Reuters news agency, saying six | :48:38. | :48:41. | |
people have been found alive under the snow. The conditions will be | :48:42. | :48:49. | |
horrendous for anybody who was buried by the avalanche, so it is | :48:50. | :48:52. | |
extraordinary to be hearing right now that, 24 hours after the | :48:53. | :48:57. | |
avalanche, potentially six people have been found alive under the | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
snow. We are hearing that they are yet to be pulled out, but there | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
are... These are the emergency teams who have been digging through the | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
snow every possible effort, to get those six people out alive. 30 | :49:12. | :49:17. | |
people it was reported were missing after the avalanche and it buried a | :49:18. | :49:26. | |
hotel under up to 15 feet of snow. It was hoped according to one | :49:27. | :49:31. | |
rescuer that the ceiling collapse might have protected some of those | :49:32. | :49:34. | |
inside the building from being completely buried. That was the | :49:35. | :49:41. | |
hope. The way the building might have collapsed might have protected | :49:42. | :49:45. | |
people underneath. There are no reports that six people potentially | :49:46. | :49:50. | |
are still alive, buried in that avalanche and we will keep you | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
updated when we hear any more on that very disc -- very difficult | :49:54. | :49:58. | |
rescue operation. We've heard a lot about | :49:59. | :50:01. | |
Donald Trump's policies, And what is it about him that | :50:02. | :50:03. | |
propelled him to the most powerful office in the world, | :50:04. | :50:10. | |
to the surprise of so many? Frank Luntz, Republican | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
strategist and pollster, Also in the American | :50:15. | :50:16. | |
capital this morning is Crystal Myers, who voted | :50:17. | :50:23. | |
for Donald Trump in November. And Alana Horowitz Satlin | :50:24. | :50:26. | |
is from the Huffington Post. Frank, you are the man who looks at | :50:27. | :50:38. | |
the polls and statistics, and he was an expected to do this, but he did. | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
As he enters the White House, how does you rate in terms of | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
popularity? There was a point after the election when he had reached 50% | :50:49. | :50:51. | |
approval which was the highest point for him in his career. Donald Trump | :50:52. | :50:57. | |
has always been conned a virtual and the public respects the facts, that | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
he is fearless and they think he says what he means and means what he | :51:03. | :51:05. | |
says -- has always been controversial. But they don't always | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
like what he says they don't understand him in terms of his | :51:10. | :51:12. | |
directness and some would say offensiveness. But what has | :51:13. | :51:19. | |
happened, a 20% jump in the right direction, the public believing the | :51:20. | :51:21. | |
country is heading in the right direction. The significant rise in | :51:22. | :51:25. | |
consumer confidence and eight significant rise in spending -- and | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
a significant rise. The mood of the country is significantly more | :51:32. | :51:34. | |
positive today than it was on the 8th of November than when he was | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
elected. Crystal, you voted for Donald Trump, that reflects how you | :51:40. | :51:49. | |
feel? Absolutely, this is the most Victoria Stadium ever and we are so | :51:50. | :51:54. | |
excited to have this victory -- the most victorious day ever for them | :51:55. | :52:01. | |
the American taxpayer was being used to support a progressive leftist | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
movement which was destroying the middle-class and ushering in the | :52:05. | :52:11. | |
demise of American sovereignty. Does he ever say anything that worries | :52:12. | :52:21. | |
you? I'm not politically correct, and Donald Trump is like a wrecking | :52:22. | :52:29. | |
ball, he is not a politician. He sounds so abrupt at times but his | :52:30. | :52:32. | |
passion and his anger against what is happening to Americans, can come | :52:33. | :52:38. | |
off the runway, but I'm behind him and I think some of the things he | :52:39. | :52:46. | |
says at times, he just rolls it right out because he is not | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
politically correct. He is portrayed negatively in the media and in the | :52:52. | :53:06. | |
wrong way. Tel us what you think Germany in terms of the way you | :53:07. | :53:08. | |
think Donald Trump is not portrayed fairly in the press question mark -- | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
generally in terms of the way you think Donald Trump is not portrayed | :53:15. | :53:22. | |
fairly in the press? Can you give us some examples. What is it that you | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
think is not fair about the way the press is covering him? I don't like | :53:29. | :53:34. | |
the fact, he is called a racist all the time, but he is such a unifier. | :53:35. | :53:46. | |
He's doing so many things. He is bringing in so many jobs. We have a | :53:47. | :53:52. | |
94 million out of work force labour at the moment and 43 million people | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
are on food stands, and Donald Trump, before he was elected, he is | :53:57. | :54:02. | |
already creating jobs. They are not giving him credit, it seems. He has | :54:03. | :54:07. | |
General Motors, they have brought in 1500 jobs, Walmart has also brought | :54:08. | :54:15. | |
in jobs, he has secured a air-conditioner carrier company. The | :54:16. | :54:21. | |
media never really show what he is doing for America. They seem to just | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
always be so against him and so troubling, but he's doing amazing | :54:27. | :54:34. | |
things. Alana, what do you think about that? It is worth noting that | :54:35. | :54:39. | |
he did not actually... He is not responsible for any that that she | :54:40. | :54:45. | |
mention. That is true, but the companies have said they were | :54:46. | :54:48. | |
already planning to do that. And the factory was never planning to go to | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
Mexico, so I think that is a little early to say that he is bringing the | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
jobs back to America. I understand that there is a deep distrust in the | :54:57. | :54:59. | |
media right now, and that people are not happy with the way the campaign | :55:00. | :55:03. | |
was covered, but I would argue that Hillary Clinton was also not given a | :55:04. | :55:08. | |
fair shot with the media. The amount of coverage that the FBI | :55:09. | :55:14. | |
investigation got was alarming considering how nothing really ever | :55:15. | :55:19. | |
came out of it. The media was pretty tough on both candidates and both | :55:20. | :55:21. | |
sides are pretty unhappy with that, and I understand that. Frank. He was | :55:22. | :55:30. | |
somebody who defied the polls, it is difficult to pin down how he is seen | :55:31. | :55:37. | |
across the piece in a country which is so divided as has become very | :55:38. | :55:45. | |
clear. It is not difficult at all. There are aspects of Donald Trump's | :55:46. | :55:49. | |
persona which the public appreciates and there are aspects such as | :55:50. | :55:55. | |
unifier, with all due respect, he isn't. His language is a unifying, | :55:56. | :56:03. | |
is challenging the status quo. -- his language is not unifying. He is | :56:04. | :56:09. | |
committed to change and he is already outlining significant budget | :56:10. | :56:14. | |
cuts and the overhauled to Obamacare and changes to our infrastructure | :56:15. | :56:16. | |
and improvements and these are things the public likes. Often the | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
tone and the demeanour, this isn't about political correctness, he says | :56:22. | :56:25. | |
things which the public believes are inappropriate. There are Trump | :56:26. | :56:32. | |
people who see no negative in him and critics who see no positive in | :56:33. | :56:36. | |
him, but in fact he is like any other president, he has his | :56:37. | :56:40. | |
positives and his negatives and nobody seems to see the other side. | :56:41. | :56:47. | |
He is very active on Twitter, cutting through that. As | :56:48. | :56:52. | |
demonstrated, he is concerned when he is portrayed in sketches in a | :56:53. | :56:58. | |
particular way, he is tweeting later night saying it is just not funny | :56:59. | :57:02. | |
when Alec Baldwin impersonates him on Saturday Night Live, the expect | :57:03. | :57:10. | |
that to stop? -- do you expect. He will keep using his own personal | :57:11. | :57:17. | |
account on twitter, I believe. People think he has a thin skin and | :57:18. | :57:20. | |
the fact he is going to be President, he needs to rise above | :57:21. | :57:26. | |
that kind of stuff? He should. He needs to in the next 4- maybe eight | :57:27. | :57:32. | |
years grow into the role as president and realise you can't | :57:33. | :57:36. | |
respond to every single criticism, but whether he would do that, I'm | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
not sure. In the past 18 months there has been talk, is he going to | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
take on a more traditional presidential tone? Or better or | :57:46. | :57:49. | |
worse, Donald Trump is Donald Trump and you -- what you see is what you | :57:50. | :57:58. | |
get. That is very true. Thanks for joining us. | :57:59. | :58:15. | |
We have got all of that coming up, the Trump inauguration. One person | :58:16. | :58:24. | |
has written in to say it is sad the way people are going on, because he | :58:25. | :58:27. | |
has been elected by a majority. Thank you for your company. See you | :58:28. | :58:29. | |
soon. If it ever came to pass that | :58:30. | :58:31. | |
Mr Corbyn were the Prime Minister, | :58:32. | :58:36. |
