you're watching beyond one hundred days. what does president trump really think about theresa may and the hopes of a trade deal with the united states after brexit? this has been a day of mixed messages. an embarrassingly timed interview in the sun newspaper criticised the prime minister and her policies. a play nicely press conference with the prime minister may or may not have helped limit the damage. i give igive our i give our relationship in terms of break the highest level of the special. i'm confident that this transatlantic alliance will continue to be the bedrock of our shared unity and prosperity for years to come. the president later met the queen at windsor castle — a visit that at least appeared to pass without any diplomatic incident. tens of thousands of people marched through central london in protest at the visit and at donald trump himself. also on the programme: three days before mr trump meets vladimir putin,

the usjustice department charges russian intelligence officers with meddling in the us election. british police have found a bottle of the nerve agent novichok at the house of charlie rowley who was poisoned last month. get in touch with us using the hashtag — #beyond100days hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in windsor. donald trump has now left london and there may be several people breathing a sigh of relief to see the us president go. it's been a tumultuous visit. this newspaper interview with its devastating critique of theresa may's new brexit policy left the prime minister picking up the pieces. the subsequent make—nice press conference was a clear attempt to help repair the political damage. there were no diplomatic incidents as far as we know during his brief tea with the queen but that may have been the calm exception to his contentious european trip.

now mr trump heads to his golf course in scotland before flying on to what he has said could be the easist part of this tour — a meeting with vladimir putin on monday. here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. you don't need to cap the helicopters to know how much this visit matters. president trump's entourage blasted through the countryside as subtly as he warned this week that his host might not get the trade deal that she covets. for theresa may, herjob was not just to grin and bear it today, but more importantly, to try and change his mind. when first the tricky question was asked, he left it to her. can you talk about the interview this morning? the question repeated. this time, he made a face rather than answer. but after talks,

back to the choreography around the stately home. exactly where she brokered her brexit compromise this time last week. the prime minister appeared to have taken hold of president trump. predicted he is now on her side. we agreed today that has the uk leads the european union, we will pursue an ambitious uk us free trade agreement. the chequers agreement last week provides the platform for donald and me to agree an ambitious deal that works for both countries right across our economies. was he quite so convinced? once the brexit processes concluded and perhaps the uk has left the eu... i don't know what they're going to do, but whatever you do is ok with me. that's your decision. whatever you're going to do is ok with us, just make sure that you can trade with us. mr president, you seem to have changed your tune from what you said earlier this week, when you said that the current brexit plan would kill the

possibility of a trade deal with the uk. our countries are meant to have a special relationship, yet to publicly criticise the prime minister's policy and her personally for not listening to you this week. is that only the behaviour of a friend? i didn't criticise the prime minister. i have a lot of respect for the prime minister and u nfortu nately for the prime minister and unfortunately there was a story that was done which was generally fine but it didn't put in what i said about the prime minister, and i said tremendous things. to be accurate, it did. she has got to make a decision about what she's going to do. the only thing i ask of trees is that we make sure that we can trade and we don't have any restrictions. i read reports were that won't be possible, but i believe after speaking with the prime minister's people and representatives and trade experts, it will absolutely be possible. for years, british prime ministers have strayed to show that they matter to the us. they want to be listened to. they want to be respected, but with characteristic

smash and grab style, donald trump has made that tricky. very tricky, for theresa may. just at the moment where she needs friends and reliable allies. goodbye to chequers. then for the president to move to call on one of the few people in the world whose state is —— status rivals his. the queen has now met a dozen american presidents, the spectacle a product of that shared history. these images is perhaps the ones that donald trump truly desired. but the politics between the united states and britain are fraught, the line is less precise. and as both countries change, so diplomatic decorum isn't guaranteed. in a moment, we'll hear from ros atkins who's by president trump's golf course in turnberry, scotland. but first let's cross

to trafalfgar square and speak to annita mcveigh. laura talking there about the images that the white house wants the us public to see, the images that the white house doesn't want the world to see, the ones that you have been watching today, all of those protests in central london. where they are as big as had been predicted? well, they are as big as had been predicted ? well, you're they are as big as had been predicted? well, you're absolutely right, katty. the images we saw from the protest president trump certainly won't want those to be seen back in the united states. the protests began this morning right here in the heart of british democracy in westminster with one of the most striking images of protest, the most striking images of protest, the trump blimp or the trump baby balloon, a giant inflatable that was floated just about the tree line behind me here in parliament square, and then various other marchers took place. some of them converged here on parliament square, but the biggest gathering of protesters was at albert square a couple of hours

ago —— trafalgar square, and so many interest groups coming together in a coalition of protest against the president's visit. you had environmental groups and human rights groups, lgbt rights groups, and so on, and so on, making their voices heard. and there's certainly a symbolism in the fact that while the protesters were on the streets of london and indeed elsewhere in the uk, the president was kept well removed from them in the locations that he visited. obviously, one doesn't expect visiting presidents to get up close and personal with protesters, but on previous presidential visits you have seen presidential visits you have seen presidential motorcade is on the roads. a feeling that they were a bit closer to the people. but here on this two—day working visit, donald trump was flown in on air force one and then taken by the marine one helicopter to all of the locations that he was visiting, so

very well insulated from these scenes of dissent and objection. so now he flies up to scotland to his own golf course. we know that donald trump likes to spend time in his own properties, but he's not going to totally escape the fact that there are totally escape the fact that there a re protests totally escape the fact that there are protests up in scotland to against him. well, it's a big property, and i'm sure if he's inside he be reasonably well insulated from the scottish people who would like to make their point. we are expecting protests around this turnberry golf course as well as his golf course in aberdeenshire and also protests in the centre of glasgow and edinburgh. the degree to which the protests will be able to get anywhere near donald trump, as expect they won't be getting that close. just down the road from where iam standing, close. just down the road from where i am standing, there is one police blocked and there are several police blocks on a number of the roads coming into turnberry, some mr trump will be hoping he can get away from the protests we have seen in london and in scotland as the weekend goes

on and perhaps take a break from the typical drama that you and christian have been describing. i should say, it isa have been describing. i should say, it is a little surreal here at the moment, because we know that the president of the united states is coming, but there's not a huge amount of evidence. it is incredibly tranquil here. you're renting a beautiful summer's evening, some people are wrapping up their rounds at the starlings are singing and we heard a bagpiper practising does coming out over the hail. we think thatis coming out over the hail. we think that is probably ahead of the president arriving. but mr trump has no formal events tomorrow. it is a chance for him to regroup after nato and his visit to see theresa may and prepare for what is arguably the biggest moment of the strip, which is seeing vladimir putin in helsinki on monday. but who could resist a round of golf at turnberry? what a mighty fine golf course that is. thank you very much. my my good friend, ron christie,

republican strategists has been at windsor throughout the day. it has been the highest level of special. let's talk about this front page, the sun newspaper. in the words of the sun newspaper. in the words of the president, this was generally fine. this is a new definition of a generally fine. if that's the new definition of generally fine, christian, we are in a world of hurt. the president of the united states sent us a message last night. there were such beautiful optics with him in the palace and with the prime minister, and what ends up happening is the headline that you just held up. so it is very interesting to see what the headline will look like tomorrow after a successful visit here at windsor and of course with the mueller indictment that was announced this afternoon. what you think we witnessed at chequers? was this a massive climb—down? there must have been gasps of horror.|j massive climb—down? there must have been gasps of horror. i do. sarah huckabee sanders, the press secretary, tried to bring this back last night. it clearly didn't work.

so the president but he would take the podium last night and said that he did not say anything bad about the prime minister and of course we know that he said several bad things about the prime minister, so it was about the prime minister, so it was a bit ofa about the prime minister, so it was a bit of a walk back and he recognised that perhaps he had done some political damage for himself that he needed to recover from. sometimes it's worth looking at the split screen, and i think we can show it, the split screen of what was happening in central london and the events that were taking place in that rather gorgeous castle right behind you, where of course there was the image that the white house wa nts was the image that the white house wants the world to see and the image that the white house does not want the world to see of those protesters. and that kind of sums up this visit, doesn't it? it really does, katty. iwas this visit, doesn't it? it really does, katty. i was down at westminster this morning and there we re westminster this morning and there were so many westminster this morning and there were so many people out there that we re were so many people out there that were so angry were so many people out there that were so angry with the american president. it's important orders to stress, of course, that the relationship is between the two countries rather than between two political leaders, but this is not the image that the white house wants out there. they want the guards, the

queen, they want of the top and circumstance, and unfortunately i think what we are going to see in america's newspapers and in papers around the world tomorrow is the protesters and that invitation for the top administration. on that interview that the president gave with the sun newspaper, do you think that he was consciously trying to undermine theresa may or was this just something that he wanted to say and he wasn't really thinking that he was about to land in a country where he had just that the prime minister ina where he had just that the prime minister in a huge bottle? you know, katty, i originally thought that this was donald trump being donald trump, but the more that you listen to what the president has said over the last 48 hours, it makes me wonder whether or not he wants her off the stage. he is standing beside her, but he says that borisjohnson would also do a greatjob. how could you say something like that, standing next to the prime minister here in the uk, while of course also

mentioning her rival in the same sentence and mentioning her rival in the same sentence and same mentioning her rival in the same sentence and same breath? so, yeah, i think you might want the stage. 0k, i think you might want the stage. ok, forthe i think you might want the stage. ok, for the moment. i know you are staying with us and we will talk plenty more about the visit you to windsor castle with the queen because the pictures are certainly because the pictures are certainly be pictures that president trump wa nted be pictures that president trump wanted beaming back to people back at home. plenty of pomp and ceremony. it wasn't the state visit, but this was the least the uk government could do. one thing, interesting what ron was saying thereabout does donald trump what theresa may of the scene because there are now stories coming out of germany that some german politicians are wondering whether he feels the same way about angela merkel, so who knows what the actual strategy is, but it certainly caused a lot of trouble. joining us now from new york is marc lotter — who formerly served as special assistant to president trump. when you watched events unfold here

in the uk today, i wonder what reports work. particularly those comments that made the front page of the sun newspaper. comments that made the front page of the sun newspaperlj comments that made the front page of the sun newspaper. i think the president was sending a very clear message, and he reiterated that today. he wants to make sure that when the brexit process is complete that the united states and the united kingdom can have a mutually beneficial free—trade agreement. there was reporting earlier in the week that the prime minister bosman plan would keep in place many of the trade agreements with the eu which would then limit the united states ability to have that agreement. i think the president voiced that, and then reiterated today that as you saw that he's very focused on making sure that we can have a great trading relationship with the united kingdom. but come on, marc. there is a protocol to these things. you don't interfere in the politics of another country and you certainly don't do it when you're being hosted for dinner at blenheim palace in the uk. i think one of the things that the world is seeing and that america

seesis the world is seeing and that america sees is that the president is focused on the results, and he is going to have very blunt and very frank conversations in that process. when we look, and i am not speaking specifically about the brexit issue, but when we go back decades when presidents have always said the diplomatically appropriate link and then nothing changes at the end of then nothing changes at the end of the date, like what we saw with nato, the president was very serious. he was very frank and open that he wants countries to join the uk and the united states in meeting their requirements, and it might not be diplomatic appropriate, but he's going to say it frankly and it's going to say it frankly and it's going to say it frankly and it's going to get resolved. we saw something of a row back from the president at that press conference today, a notable change injune when it came to the prime minister and her policies. do you think that was important? did the president have some damage control to do? idle thought i would call a damage control. i think probably what you saw, and i wasn't obviously involved in the conversations, was the prime minister being able to explain directly to the president how her

plan would not limit our ability to have a free—trade agreement with the united kingdom, because as i said, what we saw earlier in the week... you think he had nothing to apologise for in the tone and the substance and the way that he spoke about his host in that newspaper interview? i think what you saw was that the president did acknowledge the interview last night when they we re the interview last night when they were having dinnerand the interview last night when they were having dinner and the way that it was portrayed, but what you saw today was the president saying that he has a lot of respect and admiration for the prime minister. he enjoys working with and he's going to look to continue working with her as we move through the brexit process and negotiating a trade agreement with the united states. ok, marc. thank you very much forjoining us. it has been an extraordinary day in british politics as well as in the transatlantic relationship. i was struck wigan pier in the us this morning by how big a story donald trump's interview in the sun was

here the us because by and large american tv networks and papers don't give a huge amount of coverage to foreign stories, but this one they really did pick up on and people here were pretty shocked, as ron was suggesting, that the president had weighed in on domestic politics in this way. yet, and ron made the point earlier to me in the afternoon that this is what the president does. he tramples over his own message. last night, i was standing on the roundabout and saying look at these images and how they are being beamed back to the us and this is what the president once. watch it had happened was that they we re watch it had happened was that they were showing the scots, welsh, irish guards and these lovely pictures of blenheim palace at what he was doing there, and instead they are focusing on the front page of the sun, and you can imagine what went on last night, at a time when they were saying this was an unprecedented opportunity and speaking in grants terms about brexit and how well he gets on the theresa may, she would have been briefed in her ear, hey,

just wait until you see the front page of the sun. this is a whole load of pain. yap, that must have been an interesting end to that dinner. 12 russian intelligence officers have been charged with hacking the democratic national committee in the 2016 presidential election. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein said the dozen accused used spear phishing emails and malicious software in the cyber—attacks. the intelligence officers allegedly began their cyber—attacks in march 2016 to hack the email accounts of volunteers and employees of hillary clinton's presidential campaign. mr rosenstein said the defendants corresponded with several americans during the alleged conspiracy, but added there is no allegation that any us citizen committed a crime. all this comes just days before president trump meets russian president valdimir putin in helsinki. for more, i'm joined once again by ron christie. friday afternoon, head of a visit to russia... is this a coincidence? in

all, there's nothing in my experience in politics that is a coincidence. i think that they wa nted coincidence. i think that they wanted this to be the headline in the news tomorrow, and who is gay but the mueller team ? the news tomorrow, and who is gay but the mueller team? —— who are day but the mueller team? —— who are day but the mueller team ? but the mueller team? —— who are day but the mueller team? in the middle of this year about the indictment by mueller and his team that is certain to dominate the headlines tomorrow. this indictment is by members of the russian intelligence services of people who work for vladimir putin. you couldn't get much closer to the president of russia than this. how does it hang over or how might it impact donald trump's conversation going in with mr putin? well, i think it is very critical and very significant, katty. i read the indictment this afternoon and it is very extensive, starting in march 2016 and moving through the spring of how these russian intelligence officers had fake names, fake

accounts, and they systematically went after the democratic campaign arm, the democratic national committee, to try to interfere in oui’ committee, to try to interfere in our election, and this will be a test for the president. with the various sharply address putin on this and say we've got you, we got the goods, or will he attempt to maintain good relations with putin and not address this? he was asked earlier today what he was going to be talking about. of course, crimea and you sue —— and ukraine. and also the allegations. does this mean that he accepts there was interference?” think he does, but what is he going to do about it? this is something that has been known the way back to obama administration. does he say this is what the indictment has and these are the officers named and what are you going to do about that, and potentially bring him to justice. ok, ron, thanks very much. another thing that might be raised

in that meeting is the next story. british police say they have found a small bottle containing novichok nerve agent during searches of charlie rowley‘s house in amesbury. mr rowley and his partner were poisoned by the chemical last month and she has since died. you wonder what that will tell the police. now further tests can be carried out to establish whether this particular agent comes from the same batch that poisoned sergei and yulia skripal in march. for more on this, here's the bbc‘s duncan kennedy, who is in salisbury. well, the news that they found this bottle ca m e well, the news that they found this bottle came through from the metropolitan police later this afternoon. all they are saying is that they found a small bottle at the house of charlie rowley in amesbury and that it was found on wednesday and that it was then taken to porton down, the research lab, quite near to amesbury, and that tests have come back positive for novichok. what the police are not saying is what sort of bottle it is, whether it is a small bottle, nor

are they saying were that bottle came from. did they pick it up in salisbury, perhaps by this area here, or did they pick it up in amesbury, or en route? they are not giving any further details on that. they are also saying that they cannot guarantee that there are not more bottles of novichok in the area. duncan kennedy therefore as in amesbury. the english diver who found the young boys in a cave in thailand says it was chance that he stumbled across them. in his first interview since the rescue, john volanthen, says he came up for air near the mudbank where the boys were huddled and he could smell them. extraordinary. john says he then called out to the kids who answered him. a few days later he would carry half of the group of 12 boys and their coach to safety back through the treacherous underground passages. we were swimming along and at and —— an underground passage and we shouted and we also smelt. in this

case, we smelt the children before we actually saw or heard them. what sort of problems were you facing? the visibility in the water is very low, so varying down to a future ventures. there was also a lot of debris in the cave from previous attempts, wire, electrical cable, pumps, tubing, all sorts of things. the colt was also an issue. some of the children were quite small, so we we re the children were quite small, so we were quite concerned about how well the smaller children would hold up in terms of the journey out of the water. what did you do, put them on your arm 01’ water. what did you do, put them on yourarm orswim water. what did you do, put them on your arm or swim with them? we were fortu nate your arm or swim with them? we were fortunate enough to have some local thai boys from a swimming club who we took to a swimming pool and we practised beforehand. we essentially strapped a cylinder to the front of the child and they had a full face mask, which is a way of making sure that they can breathe, and essentially we had a hand on the

back of the child, so you always need to transport someone face down so need to transport someone face down so that any water runs away from theirface and so that any water runs away from their face and we were able to manoeuvre them in that way, although they were still clipped to us, if we lost them in the visibility we would a lwa ys lost them in the visibility we would always be able to find them immediately. an amazing rescue. john volanthen. immediately. an amazing rescue. john vola nthen. christian, immediately. an amazing rescue. john volanthen. christian, donald trump has met the ceos and he has now met the queen. you have done a tour of the queen. you have done a tour of the area. what is your impression of the area. what is your impression of the last couple of days? this is special. this is the closest i have been to a castle in two months, and that includes the royal wedding, so i don't know how i have sneaked under the barrier, but here i am. what in the main event here at windsor, which of course he really wa nted windsor, which of course he really wanted with all of these photographs, absolutely fascinating with all of the protocol that goes with all of the protocol that goes with it. they were slightly on edge because donald trump does like the odd vigorous handshake and he has

been known to pick down drop off leader's shoulders, so what would he do when he met the queen? as you can see, he was on his best behaviour. they look a little bit petrified standing next to the queen. the other correspondent who was with me had said that the queen, who has met many presidents, would probably have been quite intrigued. she would have read a lot about donald trump and she would want to know what he was all about. would he be herfavourite us president? probably not. i think that would have been ronald reagan, who stayed here and we liked horses. but i think she would have been excited to get the measure of donald trump. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — we'll have plenty more coverage of trump's uk visit as he arrives in scotland. hello again. it has been another

warm day with temperatures into the 20s in the sunshine, but it's going to get even hotter this weekend. 29 celsius tomorrow, and on sunday we should see temperatures peaking into the low 30s in the hottest parts of the low 30s in the hottest parts of the country. today, although it has been a one day, we have also seen some showers would have faded away with time, but some heavy ones for a southern scotland and a line of showers also in wales, parts of the west country, and in wales, part of the west country, and into central and southern england. shoppers here will rumble on for a good part of the evening as well. the skies have looked like this at times. this is the second day that we have seen showers in this area. during this evening, the showers will take some time to fade away, but we will eventually get there. a warm night for sleeping. these are the temperatures at 11pm. still 21 celsius in london. things will cool off later in the night and for most

off later in the night and for most of us it is going to be a dry night with clear spells. heading on into the forecast for the weekend, we have an area of low pressure that is that to the north—west of the country. that will try to bring fronts and across north—western areas, but otherwise the heat really does build across england and wales and eastern areas of scotland as well. more sunshine to come on saturday. the best of it in england, wales, eastern scotland and parts of northern ireland. across the far north—west we will have some bigger cloud and patchy outbreaks of rain that will probably turn heavier as we head to the afternoon. in the best of the sunshine, it will feel warmer. highs of 22 celsius in aberdeen. the top temperature 29 celsius in south—east england. a similar day on sunday. went to be heavy for a time, during the morning in parts of western scotland before turning a bit patchy during the day. the best of the sometime for england and wales and bus temperatures pushing well on into the low 30s, sunny weather continues heat up.

into next week, although it is going to be another hot day on monday, we will notice was temperatures easing back as the week goes by, and for those parched gardens, there is some prospect of rain around that time is next week, whether in the form of some fairly heavy showers or weather fronts in the north—west of the uk. that's your weather. this is beyond 100 days. i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. our top stories. donald trump criticises theresa may in a british newspaper, and then announces their country ties are at the "highest level of special". the us president makes waves once again. the queen has welcomed donald and melania trump at windsor castle with a cup of tea. the pair had 30 minutes to get acquainted with her majesty. meanwhile, tens of thousands of people take to the streets of central london in protest of the visit.

coming up in the next half hour. a us grand jury indicts 12 russians for email hacking during the 2016 election, just days before donald trump's meeting with vladimir putin. british police find a bottle containing the novichok nerve agent, that killed dawn sturgess and poisoned charlie rowley. let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag #beyond100days. before leaving for scotland, mr trump left a trail of confusion in his wake. in the space of 24 hours he gave two strikingly different versions of his relationship with the prime minister and the future of us—uk trade. one version, the tough one, came in his interview with the sun newspaper. but as those comments were playing out across britain, mr trump then took part in a press conference with mrs may which can only be described as damage control.

take a look at the two mr trumps. i would have done it much differently. i told theresa may how to do it but she didn't listen to me. this incredible woman right here is doing a fantasticjob, a great job. i mean that. if they do a deal like that it will most likely, because we will be dealing with the european union instead of dealing with the uk. so it will probably kill the deal. if they do that, their trade deal with the us will probably not be made. the united states looks forward to finally bring a great bilateral trade agreement with the uk —— finalising. this is a great opportunity for our two countries and we will seize it fully. you would be prepared to walk away if they didn't give you the right terms? absolutely. i think what's going on is very unfortunate. we can't walk away, because if she

walks away she's stuck. and joining us now is susan page, washington bureau chief of usa today. thank you for coming in. we've got used to hearing donald trump saying one thing and then saying something rather different. when we hear something like that, which is the donald trump we should believe? yes. laughter the problem is, it's not that he looks back, in one situation he says the precise reverse of what he says the precise reverse of what he says the precise reverse of what he says hours later informs where he is being recorded in both times. and yet the second time around denies he said what he said the first time. i think... we know that president trump is uncomfortable with personal confrontation. if he's sitting with you he is cordial and charming but when he's not sitting next to you,

when he's not sitting next to you, when he's not sitting next to you, when he's tweeting or discussing you in an interview with somebody else, thatis in an interview with somebody else, that is more likely to be his actual views. he's more likely to think that theresa may hasn't handled brexit well, she didn't follow his advice and she should walk away which is what he suggested in that interview. where does that leave foreign leaders trying to do business with mr trump? it leaves them unable impossible situation. —— in an impossible situation. the flatter him and does that serve your long—term interests or not? we seem foreign leaders who have had the most successful relationships with him are strong male leaders. it's kim and xi, and perhaps putin. i think allied leaders, our traditional friends, think allied leaders, our traditionalfriends, have had a hard time figuring out how to deal with his unpredictable president. i've got news for both of you comment

i've been told his plane has taken off late from stansted airport because he's doing an interview with piers morgan. the interview he did with the political editor of the sun, he then said was fake news but this difficulty when he blames fake news is that often now people record him. is one thing if he's calling fa ke him. is one thing if he's calling fake news something that is based on impossible sources. —— anonymous sources. when a newspaper posted the audio of the interview with president trump, it makes it more difficult for him to portray that as being something he didn't really say or mean. of course, again in the press conference , or mean. of course, again in the press conference, if you do a fact check, there's so many falsehoods, so check, there's so many falsehoods, so much fake news that he is giving out. he went back to this idea that the americans are funding 90% of

nato, that european leaders are about to go well over the 2%. european leaders have said we aren't, we've recommitted to what we've already committed to. yes. this is one way in which president trump is different. in the past, a president would sometimes say something factually incorrect. president reagan used to do that all the time but if he got fact checked ina way the time but if he got fact checked in a way that showed definitively that his comment was incorrect, he would either correct it orjust not repeat it. this is the first time we've had a president who will repeat over and over again information that is demonstrably inaccurate. you've been covering american politics and foreign relations for a while. when you look back at the last three days of his trip to brussels and then to the uk, in the president's terms has this been successful? i'm sure the president will portray it as successful. in terms of his general approach to the world which is an

america first approach with not so much regard for the traditional alliances which have kept the peace, i think alliances which have kept the peace, ithink in alliances which have kept the peace, i think in that way it has served his interest. in terms of what comes next, what his vision for what replaces a world in which we've relied on good relations with great britain and canada and france and germany? what's the structure that succeeds that? we've never heard an explanation. those who are not aligned with president trump would look at this trip with some concern about how it has shipped the foundation of the structure that has served us pretty well for decades. on the narrow issue of britain's trading relationship with the us, which he raised during that interview, do you think mr trump went into an interview like that with the strategy and clearer understanding of the political ramifications of what he is saying about theresa may's brexit policy

and the kind of trouble that might get her into? is it deliberate? off and he doesn't have a deliberate strategic plan when he goes into an interview. he answers the question and responds with how he feels in the moment. i'm not sure it reflects that it will have this consequence and then this will happen, that hasn't been his practice in the past when you watch the way president trump operates. let's check in with the bbc‘s tom burridge who's covering the protests in trafalgar square for us. now donald trump has left london and assuming the protesters are starting to go home. what's it been like there today? it's been a pretty extraordinary political day but it's also been quite an extraordinary demonstration, certainly the biggest demonstration, certainly the biggest demonstration i've been at in london

since the demonstration against britain's involvement in the iraqi war in 2004. the stage is coming down, the rain is coming down. several thousand people sticking it out. this was packed out earlier and for a rally. let's bring in a couple of people at the demonstration. what do you think was the main message coming from people today about donald trump? i think it was anger, anger that he's here, anger at his racist, sexist and bigoted policies, angerat our racist, sexist and bigoted policies, anger at our government for giving him the red carpet and anger at politicians for not speaking out against him and having a backbone to speak up. we know that his politics has no place in this country and most of the british public are very angry to be seeing him on the big stage. people who like him say that he is unconventional. he speaks his mind and some people really relate to that because people are generally

turned off by politics in the west. everyone is going to speak their mind asa everyone is going to speak their mind as a politician but trump crosses a line in every possible way. that's another thing we are here to say. it's not only about coming to show anger but showing unity. there were several thousand people here, there are still several dozen people here showing unity in the face of the policies trump represents. we are here to say we don't stand for it. we are angry but we are also united in the face of the repressive policies we think trump represents. do you think you will achieve anything today? even if donald trump watches some of the images of the protests, when tip energise him further to keep going with his politics of the type of politics he likes to do? it's important we send a message to politicians in the uk, look at the crowd, there is anger at the policies he represents. also, send a message to our government that

certain policies like the way they treat migrants, women's rights, our government has in a way of being complicit with those. this is a message that we want the government to stand up to his racist and sexist, bigoted policies that are putting people's lives at risk. sexist, bigoted policies that are putting people's lives at riskm has been mainly left—wing liberal people here. yes, a certain section of british society has flexed its muscles today but does it really travel beyond that? a lot of people in britain recognise the fact he was voted in, britain is a good ally and therefore he has to come here and be given proper treatment by our government. world leaders will a lwa ys government. world leaders will always have to make visits and do the pomp and ceremony but that doesn't mean we can't come here and say we don't agree with what you say. it doesn't mean we can't come here and tell our own government we don't agree with the suppose it special relationship we are supposed

to have with trump. we're here to send a message to say britain might be an ally of the usa but we are not an ally of trump, we are not an ally of his policies. despite the fact there is a lot of people here who represent themselves as left—wing, i think there's a lot of people who might not be so left—wing who might not be here today but would disagree with the policies trump represents. maybe not as quickly as we do but there's definitely a lot of resentment. what next? i want theresa may to stand up to trump. thank you both. the rain is coming down, so we need to go and get dry. some people don't look like they are going anywhere for now. i want to share with you an interesting fact about the gift that the prime minister gave donald trump at the beginning of their meeting

today at chequers. he is the first president in 100 years that has a pa rent president in 100 years that has a parent born in the uk. she was born on the isle of lewis in the hebrides in 1912. the prime minister gave him the chart that traces his family line on both sides back three generations through the official records and old parish registers. the family line goes back on the paternal side to the birth of president trump's great great—great—grandfather kenneth macleod, born near stornoway in 1776, the year of the us declaration of independence. if i had received that, i would have been pretty chuffed. that's a pretty good gift. i would be pretty miffed if i was handing it over to a president who treated me as donald trump has treated me as donald trump has treated the prime minister. she didn't have the best of treatment with those headlines. he did point

out during the course of his visit that his mother was born in scotland and his father was born in germany. so, he has european heritage on both sides of his family. it's interesting picking up what the young lady was saying there because i had people e—mailing me today saying was going to be a love actually moment at chequers where theresa may suddenly turns around and says "we a great nation and you can't treat us like this". she went the diplomatic route. i spoke to a former adviser who said not a chance, she's not going to do what hugh grant did in the movie. the first lady, melania trump, had her own private engagement this morning. she was invited to visit the royal hospital chelsea, accompanied by the prime minster‘s husband philip. sian lloyd reports. melania trump arrived in the sunshine at the royal hospital chelsea, to meet an audience of young and old.

shejoined in poppy making with pupils from a local primary school and seemed pleased to have their help. the first lady wanted to meet children... and have the opportunity to promote her be best campaign which focuses on young people's well—being. the chelsea pensioners did not know about her visit until this morning, but they were delighted to meet the first lady who was hosted on her visit by the prime minister's husband, philip may. did she win you over? yes, every person, she did. she came across magic, absolutely magic. yes, absolutely. we tried to get an invite! i don't think we will be invited to the white house yet but we live in hope! i think she will go back and think this is one of the better things she has done. i do believe it. she rounded off this trip with a game of bowls. despite her high heels, she seemed to take it in her stride.

sian lloyd, bbc news, at the royal hospital chelsea. that was flat green bowling! in the lovely dress! not crown green. crown green is the better game! this is beyond 100 days. still to come, it's not over yet, the president is on his way to scotland where he will spend the weekend at his turnberry golf resort in ayrshire. we'll bring you the latest. the england manager gareth southgate has said the last couple of days have been emotionally very difficult for the squad. he was speaking ahead of tomorrow s third place play—off against belgium in st petersburg. mr southgate said the players deserved to finish the tournament well, as our sports editor dan roan reports.

he hoped to be preparing his team for a world cup final this weekend. instead, gareth southgate must somehow lift its players for a match often seen as meaningless. defeat croatia ended their dreams of a first appearance on football ‘s greatest stage 452 years. despite a campaign that defied all expectations, the pain is obvious. it's been a really difficult couple of days for us. we were 20 minutes from the world cup final and then in extra time, ten minutes from a shoot out. the reason for us being here was to achieve that big old. emotionally a difficult few days. england didn't want the final game of their stirring campaign to be here of course. now that it is, they will want to finish on a high. if

they can win tomorrow and finished third it will officially be their most successful world cup on foreign soil. we feel we owe it as much to ourselves as our public and our nation now. we've brought a lot of pride, but we want to finish the tournament well. we set a standard in how we work, set the standard in the way we play and we want to aspire to that level of time we go out. this will be the second time england have played belgium at this tournament. the group game in kaliningrad ending in defeat. england went on to win over the hearts of a nation, the challenge now to go home with one last victory. it's been a week of mixed messages from donald trump this week. not only has he been back—tracking on criticism of theresa may and her brexit policy, he's singled germany out for criticism at the nato summit earlier this week. that's notjust because of

what he believes are its low levels of military spending, but also because of the huge oil and gas deals germany has done with russia. i've been speaking to german economy minister peter altmaier who is one of chancellor merkel‘s closest political allies. president trump has been in europe this week and he's had very tough words for america's european allies. in particular, he is angry with germany. why do you think mr trump is so irritated by your country? we have debates on defence. the nato members have committed to increase their defence expenditure in the direction of 2% until the year 2024. this is a commitment we have made under president obama and we are sticking to that commitment. this is

why the german defence budget will be increased over the next year's. but that contrast quite markedly with what mr trump said on his arrival in brussels, that germany is basically freeloading on the united states, should not be trading in energy with russia and is captive to moscow. well, the chancellor has reacted upon this statement, his opening statement of the president. they have had very intensive talks. we have a very clear aim. our aim is to conserve and develop our transatlantic relationship. to promote a fair... but mr trump isn't making that easy for germany offer you, is he? it is a very important moment. when i compare the nato talk

when we were able to produce a joint statement to the g7 meeting in canada, such a document was produced and later on revised, then i would say we have had very clear, honest and open debate. at the end of the day it is clear nato will stick together. nato will continue to exist in the european allies will all indicate they are willing to increase defence budget is. thank you. and joining us now is susan page, washington bureau chief of usa today. he now goes to scotland and a weekend of respite and to helsinki. how high are the stakes for that meeting? the stakes got high up when the united states special council announced indictments against 12

russian members of the intelligence services for hacking of democratic e—mails during our last election. interestingly, some of those e—mails hacking process began on the day president trump stood at a press conference and said russia, why do you try to get hillary's e—mails? that makes it more difficult for him. it increases the pressure on him. it increases the pressure on him to stand up against prussia and call them to account on the hacking of the american election. some are calling for the president to cancel this summit. the democratic leader of the senate has asked for that. he's not likely to but it increases the pressure on him to take a tougher stance against putin than he seems naturally inclined to do is. this is a carbon copy of where we we re this is a carbon copy of where we were after the g7. he brushes up the allies and then goes off to grab hand kimjong—un. allies and then goes off to grab hand kim jong—un. we'll have the same thing in helsinki on monday. that's one of the things that is so

alarming to many americans, that we are treating our friends alarming to many americans, that we are treating ourfriends in alarming to many americans, that we are treating our friends in a alarming to many americans, that we are treating ourfriends in a much harsher manner than we are treating our adversaries. thank you. one of my biggestjobs today has been to keep ron christie khan. he was on the presidential visit with george w bush and knows all about the protocol. he was really worried it was going to go wrong. let's have a look at the clip of the president with the queen as they are expecting 1st battalion coldstream guards, walking down the ranks. just watch how he slightly goes a bit too early in front of the queen. the protocol is the president or any person walking with the queen is to take a step behind her. there's an office of the state department called the chief of protocol. the chief of protocol undoubtedly said to the

president, mr president, the last thing you want to do is step in front of the queen. and what did he do?! here she comes! our friends in the state department are saying, did he just the state department are saying, did hejust do that?! the state department are saying, did he just do that?! yes he the state department are saying, did hejust do that?! yes he did. the state department are saying, did he just do that?! yes he did. i'm going to let him. it's difficult enough knowing the protocol and the queen has been here many times before. very patient and they'll eventually got it right. i'd think he didn't know whether to be on the left right. it is tough for him, obviously, to be in a like this, given the protests here and everything that's gone on since he arrived in the uk. i think we can give him a breakfor maybe arrived in the uk. i think we can give him a break for maybe taking half a step in front of the queen. what did you make of the still picture of them standing in line? i thought looked nervous. year, as you might do. they are meeting the queen of england. even though donald trump

is the president and she's got used to being the first lady, that is still a pretty big deal for anybody, even for a president. there aren't many people that the president of the united states could meet who would trump him in terms of status and protocol. i guess that was a nervous making one. if i had to ask either of you to make sure one of you would perform immaculate and on a meeting with the queen, i'm afraid i would probably go with ron! ijust know he would get it right! laughter i'm sure! know he would get it right! laughter i'm sure i would get it wrong. an interesting element of this visit was that the queen was on her own. there was no prince charles and of course when barack obama came, at the end of his presidency, of course prince william was with the duchess of cambridge and also with prince george. there was no one else apart from the queen. when i was in rome

at the vatican, you knew where you stood in the pecking order depending on who else was there and the level of the cardinals. i notice the duchess of sussex didn't turn up. ron christie, thank you for putting up ron christie, thank you for putting up with christian! someone has to do it! will see you on monday. another warm day with temperatures pushing up into the mid—20s in the sunshine. it's going to get even hotter this weekend. reaching 29 degrees tomorrow. on sunday we should see temperatures peaking into the low 30s in the hottest parts of the low 30s in the hottest parts of the country. today, although it's been warm, showers fading away across parts of north—east england. heavy showers the southern scotland.

a line of showers affecting wales, parts of the west country and into central southern england. the showers will rumble on for a good pa rt showers will rumble on for a good part of the evening as well. the skies have looked like this at times. the second day in a row we've seen times. the second day in a row we've seen heavy showers in powys. those showers will take time to fade away but eventually we'll get there. a warm night was sleeping with these kind of temperatures at 11pm. quite warm to getting a decent nights sleep. things cooling off late in the night. a dry night with clear spells. heading onto the forecast for the weekend, an area of low pressure in the north—west occasionally trying to bring in front. otherwise the heat builds across england and wales and eastern areas of scotland as well. on saturday, more sunshine to go around and we seen over saturday, more sunshine to go around and we seen over recent saturday, more sunshine to go around and we seen over recent days. across

the far north—west, notice will have some thick cloud bringing some patchy outbreaks of rain which will probably turn a bit heavier as we head through the afternoon. in the best of the sunshine feeling warmer with highs of up to 22 in aberdeen. top temperatures 29 towards parts of south—east england. a similar day of weather on sunday. the rain and heavy for a time particularly in the morning in parts of western scotland before turning patchy later in the day. the best of the sunshine for england and wales and temperatures pushing into the low 30s. the weather continues to heat up. as we get into next week, although it's going to be another hot day on monday we will notice those temperatures using back as the week goes by. for those parched gardens, a prospect of rain around at times next week weather in the form of heavy showers or weather fronts in the north—west of the uk. hello and welcome to turnberry where president trump will arrive on the next leg of his uk tour. later on this evening donald trump

will be arriving to stay in his coffers were just behind me. will be arriving to stay in his coffers werejust behind me. it will be arriving to stay in his coffers were just behind me. it is the last leg of his visit to the uk. president trump was earlier formally welcomed by the queen at windsor castle — despite the fact that it's not a full state visit. he held talks with the prime minister, where tensions were evident on the approach to brexit, but both stressed the special relationship between the two countries. i give our relationship, in terms of grade, the highest level of
