:00:22. > :00:27.Welcome Back To Washington, Where Donald Trump Has Been Sworn In As
:00:28. > :00:33.The 45th President Of The United States. I'm Katty Kay, Bringing
:00:34. > :00:36.Extraordinary Day Of It Ceremony And Celebration In Washington. Donald
:00:37. > :00:43.Trump Looked Relaxed Ahead Of The Ceremony, Showing No Sign Of Nerves
:00:44. > :00:48.Before He Took The Oath Of Office. Preserve, Protect And Defend.
:00:49. > :00:50.The Constitution Of The United States.
:00:51. > :00:53.The Constitution Of The United States.
:00:54. > :00:59.So Help Me God. So Help Me God.
:01:00. > :01:01.President Trump Then Promised The Assembled Crowd That America Should
:01:02. > :01:07.Unite And He Will Make America A Great Again.
:01:08. > :01:13.From This Day Forward, A New Vision Will Govern Our Land. From This Day
:01:14. > :01:22.Forward, it's going to be only America first. America first.
:01:23. > :01:25.And this marks the end of an era. Barack Obama and his wife Michelle
:01:26. > :01:32.flew out of Washington for the last time. And tonight, in his first act
:01:33. > :01:33.as president, Donald Trump signed executive order is around his
:01:34. > :01:49.cabinet members. Donald Trump has promised to put
:01:50. > :01:54.America first now that he's been sworn in as the 45th president of
:01:55. > :01:57.the United States. In an unconventional inaugural speech, he
:01:58. > :02:02.promised to reside over the transfer of power from Washington back to the
:02:03. > :02:07.people. He said a new vision with Governor this land. He also said
:02:08. > :02:11.that protection would lead to prosperity and strength, and he
:02:12. > :02:17.promised to bring back jobs and Borders, wealth and dreams. He was
:02:18. > :02:22.cheered by the crowd here, which had earlier booed the Democratic senator
:02:23. > :02:25.Chuck Schumer. In the last hour he has started signing a series of
:02:26. > :02:29.orders at Capitol Hill, it he is now with his family at Statuary Hall
:02:30. > :02:36.having a ceremonial lunch with members of Congress as well. All
:02:37. > :02:40.part of the inauguration facilities. I'm joined here on our perch
:02:41. > :02:43.overlooking the Capitol by a New York City councilman and long-time
:02:44. > :02:48.supporter of Donald Trump. I give adjoining me. Congratulations, happy
:02:49. > :02:53.inauguration day. Thank you, it was a hard-fought and
:02:54. > :02:57.well-deserved victory. What did you think of the
:02:58. > :03:00.President's inaugural address? I think it was similar to the
:03:01. > :03:05.speeches we have heard all along in the campaign. It felt like the
:03:06. > :03:10.campaign. This is someone who is not willing to change. Sometimes, to the
:03:11. > :03:17.joy of critics, who said he should change his way when he becomes
:03:18. > :03:20.president. I didn't think he is a lot of metaphors or illiterate tills
:03:21. > :03:25.to describe his vision as president of America. Instead he described
:03:26. > :03:28.very tangible things, people on welfare, crime, drugs, things
:03:29. > :03:31.American people face and want to see eradicated.
:03:32. > :03:36.What do you make of the fact he comes into office with the lowest
:03:37. > :03:39.approval ratings ever? That is something that has to worry
:03:40. > :03:42.him politically going forward. He has four years to try and make that
:03:43. > :03:48.better, if he wants to stand a chance of running a real action.
:03:49. > :03:51.This is the first day of basically a four-year relationship with the
:03:52. > :03:57.American people, I think it's off to a good start, but he has to address
:03:58. > :04:01.and reach out to new groups. Here someone who likes to be
:04:02. > :04:05.popular, so imagine this will also spur him on to get moving very fast,
:04:06. > :04:13.to try and change those numbers? I imagine so. I imagine we'll see a
:04:14. > :04:18.very ambitious agenda within his first 100 days, including repealing
:04:19. > :04:22.Obamacare, building a wall, and some of the points he has made in his
:04:23. > :04:27.beaches. He has no choice other than to be affected. I think everybody in
:04:28. > :04:31.Trump's inner circle knows the microscope is going to be on him
:04:32. > :04:38.from the media. In that inaugural address, as the
:04:39. > :04:41.members of the Washington establishment sat behind it, he
:04:42. > :04:47.almost gave them a ticking off. He made no parting distinction, --
:04:48. > :04:51.party distinction, he said this has not worked for the American people.
:04:52. > :04:58.But does the members of his own party in Congress to work with ten?
:04:59. > :05:01.He certainly does. He does have a mandate with Republicans having both
:05:02. > :05:04.houses of Congress. The other thing is that he was speaking to the
:05:05. > :05:08.people in the back rows of the audience, not those in the expensive
:05:09. > :05:12.seats. If you want to move the people in those expensive, elite
:05:13. > :05:16.seats, you want to get the people behind you, that is what he's trying
:05:17. > :05:19.to do. Members of Congress will watch those
:05:20. > :05:24.approval ratings, and are more likely to go along with policies
:05:25. > :05:32.they don't love it is about ten if he is doing well in the polls.
:05:33. > :05:37.We have seen Democrats not turn up here. But if you want to miss the
:05:38. > :05:40.American political spear in either direction, you need to get the
:05:41. > :05:44.people behind you. Donald Trump was a populist candidate, he will be a
:05:45. > :05:47.populist residence, and was very populist inaugural address today.
:05:48. > :05:51.He doesn't have everybody behind term, only some people, that's just
:05:52. > :05:56.the divided country we're in? If you want to talk to the members
:05:57. > :06:01.of Congress, he needs to ignore them. This was a petty protest, a
:06:02. > :06:07.very meaningless protest, really, when you think about how Jon Lewis
:06:08. > :06:11.did this in 2001, and nobody remembered four days after he
:06:12. > :06:15.announced it. I think today's protest by the Democrats will go
:06:16. > :06:21.down as a minor footnote in history, no one will remember what happened.
:06:22. > :06:25.Idiot think America, in four years' time, after Donald Trump has been
:06:26. > :06:33.president for four years, will be more divided country, and does it
:06:34. > :06:35.matter? Voice that was Barack Obama's vision, and it didn't pan
:06:36. > :06:39.out. I think we are worse off as a
:06:40. > :06:44.divided country now than we were eight years ago. I have Donald Trump
:06:45. > :06:48.can motivate and people to get behind him and his message to adopt
:06:49. > :06:52.his vision of America. Like it or not, whether you voted for him are
:06:53. > :06:59.not, you are stuck with him as your present for four years, and I hope
:07:00. > :07:05.people give him the respect that a lot of people gave Barack Obama in
:07:06. > :07:13.his first term as president give us the line up for the first 100 days,
:07:14. > :07:17.I think you'll seam of modes on Obamacare.
:07:18. > :07:24.We've already started seeing that. Obamacare was the issue that drove
:07:25. > :07:29.partners -- voters away from the Democratic party. If you look a
:07:30. > :07:35.piece of literature from 2010 from a Republican congressman's district,
:07:36. > :07:39.it's probably the same in 2016, that is how unpopular Obamacare has
:07:40. > :07:43.become. But the Republicans now having both houses of Congress, if
:07:44. > :07:49.they don't act on Obamacare, I think they'll be seen as failures.
:07:50. > :07:53.We're now looking around Washington, DC, the crowds are dispersing, but
:07:54. > :07:57.we're seeing protest around the city. These are live shots, some
:07:58. > :08:03.from before the inauguration as well. We've seen protesters smashing
:08:04. > :08:10.windows of shops, smashing windows of cars. It looks like the
:08:11. > :08:15.protesters are back. I can't really tell you from these shots how many
:08:16. > :08:19.there are. Really only seem to be a few dozen, perhaps 100 this morning,
:08:20. > :08:25.although they were making a lot of noise and causing some damage. It is
:08:26. > :08:33.unusual for violent protests to happen on inauguration day. I've
:08:34. > :08:36.seen protesters on creation date, but not have these type of violent
:08:37. > :08:40.protests we have seen. It looks to me like there are almost as many
:08:41. > :08:45.rights police as there are protesters. Is this going to be a
:08:46. > :08:51.function of American life of the next four years? Because we are in
:08:52. > :08:56.this very divided country? We always believe there will be
:08:57. > :09:05.protesters at every Republican in origin. Recall from 2004-2000 date,
:09:06. > :09:07.there was a lot of protest against President Bush, perhaps even just
:09:08. > :09:10.against his personality. But I don't recall protest like
:09:11. > :09:15.this? This is deplorable. We saw people
:09:16. > :09:20.get attacked with boundaries that were hard at them from afar. These
:09:21. > :09:23.are people who are breaking into stories. Really, what are they
:09:24. > :09:27.accomplishing? There are not accomplishing the goal they think
:09:28. > :09:31.they are. They're turning people off. There is a value in having a
:09:32. > :09:36.vibrant democratic party serve as an opposition party in Government.
:09:37. > :09:43.These people, if they're trying to help them, they're not at all.
:09:44. > :09:46.Thank you very much. We go to Capitol Hill, I imagine the
:09:47. > :09:54.dignitaries have left the stand, but you're still there, Nick? Those
:09:55. > :09:56.protesters, they don't do much good for the Democratic party, and the
:09:57. > :10:02.Democratic party needs a hand, doesn't it?
:10:03. > :10:07.Yeah, progressive politics is in trouble at the moment. The irony is,
:10:08. > :10:12.about 18 months ago, everybody thought progressive politics was the
:10:13. > :10:19.dominant force. You remember, after that awful trust and shooting,
:10:20. > :10:22.Barack Obama going down there, on that day gay marriage became legal
:10:23. > :10:27.around the country because of the Supreme Court decision. Obamacare
:10:28. > :10:38.was passed. Everybody thought that progressive politics for trying
:10:39. > :10:41.thing. -- were trying thing. But also around them, Donald Trump
:10:42. > :10:48.announced his candidacy for president. It was not the triumph of
:10:49. > :10:53.progressivism, but the Conservative come back. Donald Trump road that
:10:54. > :10:58.wave, with the message we heard again today, what sounded more like
:10:59. > :11:06.a campaign speech than inaugural address, that his first message, the
:11:07. > :11:09.make America a great again message. And the Republicans dominate in the
:11:10. > :11:14.White House and the house. What does that mean, make America
:11:15. > :11:21.first again, in terms of policies and changes were America's allies
:11:22. > :11:25.around the world, for example? What it means specifically I think,
:11:26. > :11:29.remains to be seen. I think we're going to find out what America first
:11:30. > :11:34.means were allies. I think he's going to want all allies to do more
:11:35. > :11:37.than they are at the moment, whether that means supporting America
:11:38. > :11:40.militarily or helping them out in other ways. What it means that home
:11:41. > :11:45.is his going to try and keep a lot of Manufacturing jobs in America by
:11:46. > :11:49.cajoling and putting pressure and sometimes bullying corporate cheese
:11:50. > :11:53.not outsourced jobs abroad. To not relocate their plants in places like
:11:54. > :12:00.Mexico. I think that's what he means first by a America first in domestic
:12:01. > :12:11.terms. He says we're going to buy American and higher American. That's
:12:12. > :12:14.very significant. It was also a case nationalistic speech, Robert the
:12:15. > :12:19.most nationalistic speech we have heard an inaugural address in modern
:12:20. > :12:25.times. -- probably the most. Let's listen to what Donald Trump
:12:26. > :12:29.said, you heard Nick Bryant describing some of the address, it
:12:30. > :12:38.lasted 18 minutes and focused on American jobs and patriotism.
:12:39. > :12:42.January the 20th, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people
:12:43. > :12:42.became the rulers of this nation again.
:12:43. > :12:56.APPLAUSE The forgotten men and women of our
:12:57. > :13:02.country will be forgotten no longer. APPLAUSE
:13:03. > :13:07.Everyone is listening to you now. You came by the tens of millions to
:13:08. > :13:12.become part of a historic movements, the likes of which the world has
:13:13. > :13:19.never seen before. APPLAUSE
:13:20. > :13:27.At the centre of this movement is a crucial conviction, that a nation
:13:28. > :13:31.exists to serve its citizens. Americans want great schools for
:13:32. > :13:39.their children, safe neighbourhoods for their families, and good jobs
:13:40. > :13:48.for themselves. These are just and reasonable demands of righteous
:13:49. > :13:53.people and a righteous public. But for too many of our citizens, a
:13:54. > :13:59.different reality exists. Mothers and children, trapped in poverty in
:14:00. > :14:03.our inner cities. Rusted-out factories, scattered like tombstones
:14:04. > :14:09.across the landscape of our nation. An education system flush with cash,
:14:10. > :14:18.but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all
:14:19. > :14:22.knowledge. And the crime, and the gangs, and the drugs that have
:14:23. > :14:30.stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much under realised
:14:31. > :14:34.potential. This American courage stops right here and stops right
:14:35. > :14:46.now. APPLAUSE
:14:47. > :14:52.We are one nation. And their pain is our pain. Their
:14:53. > :14:59.dreams are our dreams. And their success will be our success. We
:15:00. > :15:07.share one heart, one home, and one laureate destiny. The oath of office
:15:08. > :15:17.I take today is and owes of allegiance to all Americans.
:15:18. > :15:20.APPLAUSE For many decades, we'd enriched
:15:21. > :15:25.foreign industry at expense of American industry.
:15:26. > :15:29.Subsidised the armies of other countries, while allowing for the
:15:30. > :15:35.very sad depletion of our military. We've defended other nations'
:15:36. > :15:43.borders while refusing to defend our own.
:15:44. > :15:50.APPLAUSE And spent trillions and trillions of
:15:51. > :15:53.dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into
:15:54. > :16:00.disrepair and decay. We've made other countries rich
:16:01. > :16:09.while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has
:16:10. > :16:15.dissipated over the horizon. One by one, the factories shattered and
:16:16. > :16:19.left our shores. With not even a thought about the millions and
:16:20. > :16:25.millions of American workers that were left behind. The wealth of our
:16:26. > :16:33.middle-class has been ripped from their homes and redistributed all
:16:34. > :16:40.across the world. But that is the past. And now, we're looking only to
:16:41. > :16:53.the future. APPLAUSE
:16:54. > :16:58.We, assembled here today, are issuing a new decree to be heard in
:16:59. > :17:04.every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hole of power.
:17:05. > :17:11.From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this day
:17:12. > :17:21.forward, it's going to be only America first. America first.
:17:22. > :17:31.APPLAUSE Every decision, on taxes, on
:17:32. > :17:36.immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American
:17:37. > :17:41.workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the
:17:42. > :17:44.ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies
:17:45. > :17:55.and destroying our jobs. President Trump giving his inaugural
:17:56. > :17:58.address just a couple of hours ago. Wild applause from his supporters
:17:59. > :18:02.here who have, from all over the country to listen to the president
:18:03. > :18:05.give that address. They very much like what they heard, the idea that
:18:06. > :18:08.parrot is being taken away from Washington and handed back to the
:18:09. > :18:12.American people, and this will result in changes to the American
:18:13. > :18:18.economy, that will help American workers. Nick Bryant, I want to ask
:18:19. > :18:24.you about the protests, these are happening around Washington, DC, I
:18:25. > :18:27.don't remember seeing violent protests at previous inaugurations.
:18:28. > :18:32.Alan usual is this time in terms of the divisiveness of the country, and
:18:33. > :18:39.is something we're going to have to get used to for next four years?
:18:40. > :18:44.Like you, I've not seen scenes like this in a modern inauguration, and I
:18:45. > :18:52.can even think of any end they history of the last hundred 40
:18:53. > :18:58.years. We saw protests in the end of the contestants election, the
:18:59. > :19:03.Florida recount for President Bush's first-term. We didn't see scenes
:19:04. > :19:07.like this, however. We didn't see the kind of violence and attacks on
:19:08. > :19:12.property. People wearing balaclavas, things like that. This is new. It
:19:13. > :19:19.does speak of this polarised nation. The United States of America at the
:19:20. > :19:24.moment sounds like an oxymoron. It's is like a geographic expression, not
:19:25. > :19:28.a functioning nation that has a real sense of unity. That's just absent
:19:29. > :19:32.at the moment. It's been absent for a long time, we'd seen decades of
:19:33. > :19:38.this type of polarisation on Capitol Hill. There was a toxic atmosphere
:19:39. > :19:42.in the 90s when a Republican Congress sought to impeach President
:19:43. > :19:48.Pointon. We saw urging the Bush years, during the barmy is, what
:19:49. > :19:54.Donald Trump led that birth amendment, questioning whether and
:19:55. > :19:59.not he was even a American citizens. I cannot remember a time in other
:20:00. > :20:03.times, the 60s, early 70s, I can remember a time in modern politics,
:20:04. > :20:07.modern American politics, that has been quite so like this. Quite so
:20:08. > :20:10.polarised. I think one difference between now
:20:11. > :20:16.and when Barack Obama was president, he came in promising a purple
:20:17. > :20:22.America, Norma red or blue states, it is good to be a country that came
:20:23. > :20:26.together. It's been set for a while that America and Brad Obama became
:20:27. > :20:31.ungovernable, nothing to get done. The difference now is that a lot can
:20:32. > :20:37.be done, because Donald Trump has united, not divided governments, and
:20:38. > :20:40.he has a lot of power in tying to promote his agenda.
:20:41. > :20:45.It is worth roaming that for six of the eight years of the Obama
:20:46. > :20:53.presidency he was dealing with a hostile Congress. They try to thwart
:20:54. > :20:56.him at every turn. In the Senate, in the house, to really block his
:20:57. > :21:02.agenda, and stopping doing much. What we're sing at the moment, is
:21:03. > :21:09.that the level of hyper partisanship, is really
:21:10. > :21:12.unprecedented. Senators in Capitol Hill and house lawmakers used to get
:21:13. > :21:17.on with each other despite the parts and differences, but we don't get
:21:18. > :21:22.that to the same extent any more. Negative state draft is the way this
:21:23. > :21:25.place operates, and it's led to this terrible dysfunction. The
:21:26. > :21:31.beneficiary of that is the political outsider. Donald Trump, who scalded
:21:32. > :21:37.Washington in the opening sections of his administration, think that is
:21:38. > :21:39.at the transfer of power from one administrator into the next, it's
:21:40. > :21:43.the transfer of power from Washington to you.
:21:44. > :21:47.I imagine there were a lot of awkward faces on that podium behind
:21:48. > :21:55.you. Thank you very much. Let's go down to the parade routes, there is
:21:56. > :22:00.some news coming out of the trap at the restriction -
:22:01. > :22:02.actor, he's in the BBC Newsroom Live -
:22:03. > :22:09.the trap administration saying it's going to lose no time in terms of
:22:10. > :22:13.repealing Barack Obama's policies? We have to some extent been trying
:22:14. > :22:19.to read TVs in terms of what the trap administration is doing, what
:22:20. > :22:25.pages they had been taking down. They took down something on climate
:22:26. > :22:31.accord, they took something down on LGBT writes. The Labor Department,
:22:32. > :22:37.we're also guessing words, they want to fund a new muscle defends system
:22:38. > :22:40.to defend the US against possible Iranian or North Korean muscles.
:22:41. > :22:45.There is talk about funding the wall. There have been funding
:22:46. > :22:53.appropriations for funding the wall to bypass Congress, to use that to
:22:54. > :22:57.pay for the wall. I think what the Trump administration appears to be
:22:58. > :23:05.trying to do is to find ways to take action that don't require direct the
:23:06. > :23:09.long, grinding process of legislation, finding ways to do
:23:10. > :23:12.things very quickly. Environmental regulations, another big one, if
:23:13. > :23:18.they start rolling back some of Barack Obama's executive orders
:23:19. > :23:25.regulating coal-fired power plants, one that would allow more drilling

:23:29. > :23:33.things it can take care of very quickly. It is they are hitting the

:23:58. > :24:03.to be seen as getting things done very early on. One thing you see a

:24:45. > :24:47.Yeah, I haven't seen that before. Donald Trump has always said right
:24:48. > :24:52.along that he wanted to make sure things got done quickly, and he is
:24:53. > :24:56.moving fast on that promise already. Thank you very much. Quick update
