hello, and ross atkins. welcome to turnberry and world news today. president trump has arrived in scotla nd president trump has arrived in scotland in few minutes he will be arriving here. it is the last leg of his visit to the uk. president trump was earlier formally welcomed by the queen at windsor castle — despite it not being 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 specials. i'm confident that this transatlantic alliance will continue to be the bedrock of our shared security and prosperity for years to come. across the uk — thousands have taken to the streets to protest against the visit, accusing president trump of spreading hatred. another important story from the us

which donald trump will have to consider as he heads to that meeting with vladimir putin, the department ofjustice has with vladimir putin, the department of justice has released with vladimir putin, the department ofjustice has released indictments for 12 russian intelligence officials who are accused of meddling in the 2016 presidential election. in the last two minutes donald trump has arrived in holland. ea flew up from sta nsted airport has arrived in holland. ea flew up from stansted airport north of london. he's now making his way to turnberry. a golf course that he bought. as he can see air force one has landed and melania trump is

accompanying him as they go through this extended visit to europe. just as we have seen in london there are also protest here in scotland. we have already seen some in glasgow not far from where the president's plane landed. we are expecting protests close to turnberry on the west coast, also in aberdeen shirt close to the other golf course that he owns and we got aberdeen shirt. we understand protests are organised in glasgow close to scottish parliament as well. it's been a very busy visit to the uk and while this stop in scotland has no scheduled events, it is likely not to pass without some incident you would imagine. all of this got up this morning to see the interview donald trump gave with the the sun newspaper which was an extraordinary moment and intervention given the week theresa may had with regards to brexit. she laid out a detailed negotiating position to go to the eu

with. you will be aware of the controversies around that with boris johnson and david davis resigning. then donald trump says if you take that approach and you deal with the us and the uk, any deal will be killed off. he said theresa may he told her to do it differently but she had not been listening and he said borisjohnson would make a great prime minister. so, he had some work to do ahead of his meeting with chequers. let's see the story of the day with the bbc‘s clinical editor laura. you don't need to count the helicopters to know how much there visitor matters. president trump's entourage blasted through the countryside as subtly as he warned this week that is housed might not get the trade deal she covets. -- his —— his host. for theresa may, theirjob was notjust to grin and bear it but today, more importantly to try and change his mind. when first the tricky question was asked, he left it to her. have you had a chance to talk about the interview this morning?

we have got a lot to discuss. 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 and predicted he is now on her side. we agreed today that as the uk leaves the european union, we will pursue an ambitious us— uk free trade agreement. the chequers agreement reached 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 tom 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 your decision. whatever you're going to do is ok with us, just make sure we can trade together, that all that matters.

you seem rather to have changed your tune from what you said earlier this week when you said that, on the current brexit plan, that would probably kill the possibility of a trade deal the uk. our countries are meant to have a special relationship yet you publicly criticised the prime minister's policy and her personally for not listening to you, is that the behaviour of a friend? i didn't criticise the prime minister, i have a lot of respect 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 is going to make a decision as to what she's going to do, the only thing i ask of theresa is that we make sure we can trade, that we don't have any restrictions. i read reports where 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. isn't the problem for you, prime minister, that some of the things mr trump has said

about the brexit plan right, it will limit the possibilities of doing trade deals easily in the future? there will be no limit on the possibility of us doing trade deals around the world, once we leave the european union, oi'i the basis of the agreement made at chequers and that i have but forward to the european union, and as you have heard from the president, they are keen, we are keen to work with them, and we will do a trade deal with them and others around the world. he said he had suggested she should be tougher on brexit but never pulled the plug on the deal. brexit is a tough situation, a tough deal, you can't walk away, because if she walks away, she is stuck, can't walk away. but you can do other things. what about that often quoted special, if today, surreal relationship? i would say the highest level of special. am i allowed to go higher than that? i'm not sure, but it is the highest level of special.

i would much rather have her as my friend and my enemy, that i can tell you. —— than my enemy. where he leads, the prime minister is certainly not always willing to follow, but had the president not calmed his tone on brexit, this vital moment would have been humiliating. for years, british prime ministers have strained to show that they matter to the united states. 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 when she needs friends and reliable allies. goodbye to chequers, then for the president a move to call on one of the few people in the world whose status rivals his. the queen has now met a dozen american presidents. this spectacle a product of all that shared history. these images perhaps the one that donald trump truly desired.

but the politics between the united states and britain are fraught, the lines less precise. is hard to believe the president is on the way to turnberry. it's hard to leave at the birds are chirping. the hum of the tv chuck is there but here is the evidence he's on the way pictures from a place close to here and this is the president coming through. the beast and all the outriders and everyone else are making their way from prestwick airport close to glasgow to the west coast of scotland where the turnberry golf course sits right on the beach. the president is on his way and what is extraordinary is that if there was not so many other things, if there were so many other things, if there were so many other things to talk about with donald trump and the positions he takes and the things he said, there is an incredible story to tell here. his mother mary and the cloud left the island of lewis in the outer had

birdies on the northwest of scotland for america when she was 18 and she had a number of children, five. one of the most donald trump. he's now coming back to scotland as president of america. he still has three cousins who live on the island of lewis. it is an astonishing story and ifi lewis. it is an astonishing story and if i asked our engineer in the tv chuck that we are using to speak to you all you can see the wider shot we have of the turnberry golf course and the sun going down across the beach, it really is an extraordinary scene. it is not hard to imagine why donald trump's son eric says this is his father's favour property and he will not need any persuading to put it on his itinerary in the uk. this is not a big homecoming where donald trump's heritage is being celebrated. let me read you this, it has just been released by the scotsman newspaper, an editorial that it'll be publishing. it all begins with the first paragraph: donald trump due to arrive in the uk later is a racist,

serial liar and either a sexual abuser or serial liar and either a sexual abuser 01’ someone serial liar and either a sexual abuser or someone who falsely brags about being one in the apparent belief that that will impress other men. it goes onto say our political leaders might hide their distaste in the attempt to get a much—needed post brexit trade deal, but we should not forget what kind of man donald trump really is. that is an editorial from one of the donald trump really is. that is an editorialfrom one of the main newspapers here in scotland and as i said, we are also some protests as well in the coming, maybe not so much this evening, but certainly across the weekend. a lot to consider as donald trump heads toward turnberry. we will bring you further coverage on world news today and if we get pictures of him arrived —— arriving i will bring us to you as well. next we turn to a discussion i had with a former us ambassador. to the uk. robert tuttle is a former us ambassador to the uk. i spoke to him from los angeles. well, i think we've gotten used to that in the united states where the president can sometimes be all over the place.

but it was evident to me today watching the two of them together, that they really do have a strong relationship. they've spent a lot of time together in the last 2a hours, and a lot of time for private talks that i think will improve their relationship and will continue our strong, special relationship with the united kingdom. that alliance, notjust with the uk but with the whole of europe is really in some ways the bedrock of the western order. and it was within that western order that you work as the us ambassador to the uk. some people would argue donald trump is undermining that order of things. would you go that far? well, i think he's taken some tough stances, especially on the contributions of countries in nato to nato, but as you know the united kingdom is one of the few countries that contribute over 2% of its defence budget, 2% of gdp, which is very positive. so, i think that it sounds like they had a very frank meeting, but overall a positive meaning and you are right.

the alliance between the united states and united kingdom is not only good for our two countries, but good for europe and good for the rest of the world. we are two of the most prominent democracies in the world, and the fact that we are close friends and allies and we promote democracy together is very, very important. just give us an insight into the diplomatic experience of these big visits. i imagine the kind of interview that was published in the sun is a complete nightmare for all of the people who have been laying the groundwork for the weeks in advance. yes, probably it was difficult, but i must tell you one of my fondest memories of all was greeting president bush at heathrow, getting on marine one and flying for windsor castle to have tea with the queen and the duke of edinburgh. it was one of the experiences that i will never, never forget and being ambassador to the uk was one of the high points and it was a real privilege.

we heard the ambassador talking about windsor castle and earlier on the president met the queen there and christian was watching. the highlight of the trip for donald trump, he speaks a lot about his roots of courts. the scottish roots that he has in the uk. there is a close affinity of the british isles that the president has, and he's always talked in interviews about how wonderful it would be to meet the queen. so, even though this was not a state visit, of course the government has moved the goalposts a little bit so that they can facilitate a meeting with the queen and she has met ten of the 11 presidents since the coronation in 1953, but i'm not sure that she's met a us president quite like donald trump. and our royal correspondent nicholas was telling me earlier that she would have been intrigued by donald trump. she's seen everything in her time. she's hosted all sorts of world leaders, but she'd want to get the measure of him. it went pretty

smoothly to be honest. there were some who were a little nervous about what the president might do because he's prone to be odd, vigorous handshake. but aside from the moment when they were inspecting the garden where he just got slightly ahead of the queen, there was a bit of a problem with the choreography, it went off pretty well. and there is a still picture of the president and melania trump standing in the private apartments of windsor castle which i'm sure will adorn the mantel pieces of one of his golf clubs at some point. that will be the highlight, no doubt about it. and these pictures of course they will be beamed back to an admiring base, his supporters back in the united states. thanks to christian for that. i cannot quite spot where but i can hear the hum of a helicopter which may suggest the president is getting close and not everyone in thailand asi close and not everyone in thailand as i mentioned would like him to be here. let me show you these pictures of george's square in glasgow earlier where a significant crowd turned out to object to the president's visit and object to some of his policies as well. we are also

expecting further protests across the weekend in glasgow and in edinburgh. that was what was happening in gotland. meanwhile in london there was a substantial protest, number of different groups came together to organise different marches which meant an awful lot of people turned out. the bbc‘s lucy manning has been it all day. say it loud, say it clear, donald trump is not welcome here! his name echoed around the streets of london. it was on the posters they carried, the t—shirts they wore. they were loud, and they were certainly many, but as tens of thousands came to protest against president trump, he wasn't even in the city to see or hear the anger. the relationship normally a special one, the highest level of special, said the president, but they weren't lining the streets for the american president, but against him. i think his policies

are awful, i think the way he talks to people, the way he talks about women, the way he talks about disabled people, policies on climate change... the list that things that he does wrong. you are not going to stop tramp, are you? i think peaceful protest is a beautiful thing. what do you make of so many people coming out against your president? it is really nice that they care about what is happening in our country. the day of protests started with london's newest tourist attraction, lying outside parliament, the trump baby balloon, not huge and size, but big in impact. i think it is brilliant, it is the epitome of british humour, trump doesn't get that, but i think it stands for the way we deal with things we don't like. then this peculiarly british day of protests

took to the streets, the women's march started the demonstrations, armed with song, pots and pans, wit and anger. he is the worst thing to happen to the world right now. i have a daughter, i'm a mother, i'm a woman, he is not... we did not deserve him on this world. he has done nothing but wrong. and she does not like him! it is for anyone to say it, because we are citizens of the world. we are not telling him he should not be here, we are protesting some of the policy decisions he's made. america is our closest ally. this is not against america, it is against trump. then the main anti—trump protest of the day, filling the streets of central london. the american president might not be in london to see and hear these protests, but he is certainly aware of them, saying he wasn't

spending more time in the capital because he had been made to feel unwelcome. but as donald trump said, he believes the real british people love the american president. but those in trafalgar square this evening are not the ones who love him, farfrom it, but with a welcome from the queen, the prime minister, president trump mightjust not mind about the protests. lucy manning, bbc news. you can probably hear scottish police helicopter up above. we think donald trump is imminent here at turnberry, the golf course and resort that he owns. one other piece of evidence to suggest his welcome will not be particularly straightforward is that when he got to the airport where air force one landed he was greeted by the uk secretary of state for scotland. he was not greeted by the first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon. that was not arranged and we know that she have some profound concerns about the policies donald

trump perseus. she is the leader of the scottish national party and earlier. i spoke to the snp‘s for —— foreign affairs spokesperson. well, he's being met by the secretary of state for scotland, and i think that we have got to be careful about our relationship with donald trump. this is not about america. people from america are very, very welcome to come and visit us. i represent saint andrews, and we are delighted to have students, academics, golfers, all sorts coming to saint andrews and it makes it a better place for it. this is about the person that holds the office of the presidency with the us at the moment. a person who's taken action against immigrant children, separating them from parents making the most dreadful remarks and i think it is a shame the british government is not standing up to him a little bit more. but isn't it a bit disingenuous to say this is not about america when it clearly is? he's the president of america, he was elected by americans because he won using the democratic system. he represents that country, a country which is of huge cultural and

economical importance to scotland. of course it is, and it will continue to be, but if you have allies and friends across elsewhere in europe and in the united states, you want to be honest friends. right now theresa may is trying to get closer to an american president with the most awful views on a wide range of subjects. rather than being close to her natural allies politically elsewhere in europe, she's moving away from those who we are naturally close to at a political level and trying to cosy up to donald trump. that is a miscalculation and i think people in america will be pleased to see somebody standing up to the president of the us. this is not to do with the american people and that is why i was keen to stress that. they are welcome and will always be welcome, but this is about a politician to politician, and he's got some abhorrent views and he's taken some abhorrent actions and therefore it's right

that politicians make it clear that that is not appropriate and not you say the snp will stand up to donald trump but nicola sturgeon will not begin to make that point nor will she speak at any protest across the weekend so she seems to me to be stuck between two stalls. i'm not sure she is. i think nicola sturgeon is leading the pride march tomorrow as i understand it. that is great that she is doing that. donald trump has got a private visit to his turnberry golf resort this weekend, so it's entirely appropriate that we make representations. others have done it in parliament as well. the snp is not the only political party to have condemned donald trump. i know that colleagues in other political parties have done exactly the same thing. we are not alone in this. at a politician to politician level when it comes to the detention of immigrant children, when it comes to remarks that may be considered racist, when it comes to some of the attitudes towards women, it's important that as politicians you stand up when you believe somebody is wrong, and i believe that it's

good to have honest friends in the world. to another important story today. the us justice department has charged 12 russian intelligence officers with hacking democratic officials during the 2016 election. i've been talking to anthony. the most i've been talking to anthony. the m ost rece nt i've been talking to anthony. the most recent indictments by the investigation as you mentioned identified by name 12 russian nationals, members of russian military intelligence and said that they essentially were behind the hacks of the democratic national committee e—mail servers as well as john podesta, the chair of the hillary clinton for president campaign, those documents that were hacked were disseminated through cutouts including one that went by the name of goods over 2.0 and another that went under a pseudonym

dc leaks another that went under a pseudonym dc lea ks and distributed another that went under a pseudonym dc leaks and distributed them throughout the us in order to implant —— influence and disrupt the 2016 us presidential election. if you are member some of these e—mail hacks came out right before the democratic national convention and led to the resignation of the head of the democratic national committee, was very disruptive to the convention over the first couple of days because they detailed some of days because they detailed some of the conflict within the dnc and bernie sanders, one at that democratic presidential candidates. also thejohn podesta e—mails, those had a lot of internal details about the campaign, some of hillary clinton's speech excerpts, democratic strategy, larger democratic strategy, larger democratic strategies throughout the country, details on individual candidates running. all this was pushed out into public domain by russians alleged in this indictment, and that while there was no direct connection to any americans and no americans whether in the trunk campaign or elsewhere knowingly communicated with these russians,

knowing that they were russian nationals —— trump campaign, there we re nationals —— trump campaign, there were contacts between them and americans and there were several not listed by name, but several individuals they said disseminated this information. so, as i said this was an indictment of 12 individual adding onto the 20 plus people who have already been indicted or pled guilty as part of the investigation and russian companies. it is a fairly extensive, detailed indictment sheet and this is finally delving into who was behind those e—mail hacks that the vast bedeviled the democrats in 2016. thank you to anthony for that. if you want more detail on that story you want more detail on that story you can get through the bbc news app. let me show you the scene where iam standing app. let me show you the scene where i am standing once more. just on the edge of donald trump's turnberry resort. we are on the coast, the west coast of scotland, a beautiful sunset is playing out. the cool air is hardly moving, it's incredibly still evening and the only noise

apart from the purr of our tv chuck is the home of a scottish police helicopter, but in the next two minutes the president of america is going to be arriving —— tv truck. he will be staying here for a couple of days. really what we have seen today isa days. really what we have seen today is a shift from the focus on the uk and brexit slowly towards a broader, global issue which is the way that america interact with russia, because if the day began with a focus on what kind of trade deal can america and the uk cut after brexit, and theresa may talked about an ambitious deal, donald trump that contrary to what he said to the sun, he now thinks a deal can be done. so the mood music improved, and now we start looking ahead to that helsinki summitand start looking ahead to that helsinki summit and what donald trump will say to vladimir putin about their countries many differences. hello again, it's been another warm

day with temperatures pushing well up day with temperatures pushing well up into the mid—20s and the sunshine. but it will get even hotter this weekend. highs reaching 29 degrees tomorrow. and on sunday we should see temperatures peaking into the low 30s in the hottest parts of the country. today although it has been a warm day we have also seen a few showers, they are fading with time across parts of northeastern england but heavy ones for southern scotland and later showers —— a line of showers affecting wales, parts of the west country and into central, southern england. showered here will rumble on for a good part of the evening. with those showers overhead the sky that looked like this at times. the second day on the road we seen heavy showers in palace. during this evening as they say those showers will take time to fade away but eventually we will get there. a warm night for sleeping, these are the kind of temperatures at 11pm. still up kind of temperatures at 11pm. still up to about 21 in london, so a quite warm time for getting a decent nights sleep but things will cool off leader and i and for most of us a dry night with clear spells.

heading on into the forecast for the weekend we have an area of low pressure that sat to the northwest of the country that will occasionally try to bring friends and across northwestern areas, but otherwise the heat really does build across england and wales and eastern areas of scotland as well. saturday more sunshine to go around that we have seen over recent days. the best of england, wales, eastern gotland and the crux of our north will have thicker cloud bringing patchy outbreaks of rain. probably turning a bit heavier as we head through the afternoon. the best of the sunshine it'll feel warmer, highs up to 22 in aberdeen, the top temperatures probably 29 towards parts of south east england. a similar day of weather on sunday, rain could be heavy for a time particularly during the morning across southwestern scotla nd the morning across southwestern scotland before —— before turning patchy or later in the day. the best of the sunshine again for england and wales and temperatures pushing well on into the low 30s, so the weather continues to just heat up. however, as we get into next week

although it'll be another hot day on monday, we will notice those temperatures easing back as the week goes by and for those parched gardens there is prospect of rain around at times next week. whether in the form of fairly heavy showers 01’ in the form of fairly heavy showers or weather fronts in the northwest of the uk. that is your weather. in later in the week, which will be good news for the gardeners. welcome back to turnberry. donald

trump has flown in, at prestwick airport and has been making his way in his motorcade forces golf resort which he owns. the trump organisation bought in 2014 and this is just organisation bought in 2014 and this isjust a organisation bought in 2014 and this is just a continuation of what he likes to do when he is in the us. he often spends his weekends in his resort mara lago in florida and he is spending this weekend at this resort on the west coast of scotland. he has got plenty group to reflect on after a very busy nato's summitand a reflect on after a very busy nato's summit and a busy day here in the uk. meeting theresa may and also meeting the queen.
