good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: in the next few hours, president trump's plane lands in the uk for a long—awaited state visit, that has raised eyebrows even before it has begun. it comes after his controversial comments about the conservative party leadership and brexit. thousands of protestors are expected to demonstrate against his visit. we will be live at stansted airport this morning, this is buckingham palace, where president trump will meet the queen later. rescue teams in india have resumed the search for eight climbers, including fourfrom the uk,

missing in the himalayas. help or hindrance? amazon moves into the high street. it says it will give smaller online firms a physical presence, but is it too little, too late? i'll speak to the boss after 7:00am. a hero's welcome. as liverpool parade the champions league trophy in front of 750,000 fans. good morning. it is a fresher field to the weather today, with a brisk wind as well. showery across the north and west, dry and brighter in the south and east. i will have more in15 the south and east. i will have more in 15 minutes. it is monday 3june. our top story: just before 9:00am, president trump will arrive in the uk on his long—delayed state visit. over the next three days, he will meet the royal family and politicians and take part in commemorations to mark the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings. but not everyone is welcoming him. there are protests planned across the uk during the visit. here is our diplomatic correspondent james landale.

day one of donald trump's state visit, and the focus is on ceremony. the queen will welcome the president to buckingham palace with an extended gun salute, a guard of honour, and lunch. there will be a visit to westminster abbey, tea with the prince of wales at clarence house, and then a state banquet back at the palace. but, even before he has arrived, president trump has been causing headlines by saying britain should pursue a no—deal brexit, it should avoid doing a deal with the chinese telecoms giant huawei, and it should back a trade deal that his ambassador admits could involve the nhs. such is the concern of some that they say the state visit should not even be taking place, and tens of thousands are preparing to protest on the streets of london. i think we've got to send a message on tuesday that people need to stand

up to this kind of toxic politics, to this deeply bigoted and reactionary kind of politics that he represents, and that if we do stand up, actually, we can start to turn the tables on him and everything that he symbolises. the outgoing prime minister, theresa may, insisted britain's relationship with the us had underpinned its security and prosperity for many years. but it is a relationship that is under pressure. this state visit is supposed to emphasise britain and america's shared values, history and sacrifice, particularly in the second world war. the risk, though, is that it also highlights differences of policy. james landale, bbc news. we are joined now by our washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue, who is outside buckingham palace. there is lots plans, just take us through today. the president will arrive in a couple of hours' time and he will be flown here into central london, and around lunchtime, louise, he will come here to the palace, be met by the queen

on the lawns behind me at buckingham palace, and will be greeted with a royal salute in green park and at the tower of london as well. then there will be a lunch, and later on this evening there will be a huge state banquet, which of course a number of key politicians here in britain are boycotting, not least jeremy corbyn, the labour leader, and the liberal democrat leader, vince cable. so those are all the sort of fixed points in the day. he will also have tea with the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall, at clarence house. it is a sort of day, if you like, of the normal furniture of a state visit, the pump and circumstance. but as he arrives, of course, he has already created these waves and waves of political consequences with his views on the tory leadership

campaign, on brexit itself, and of course, those other big policy differences that britain has at the moment with the us over things like the chinese telecoms company and iran. thank you very much. we will be back with you a little bit later. later in the programme we will hear from former conservative leader lord michael howard, who supports president trump's visit, and also from liberal democrat leader sir vince cable, who has declined an invitation to the state banquet tonight. we will hear from both of them at 8:00am. rescue teams in india have resumed the search for eight climbers, including four britons, missing in the himalayas. the group began climbing india's second—highest mountain, nanda devi, almost three weeks ago, but failed to return to base camp. local experts say the chances of finding them are bleak. it isa it is a place few have ever seen. nanda devi is one of the toughest mountains in the world. now, eight climbers are missing here. they were pa rt climbers are missing here. they were part of this group, seen here before setting off three weeks ago. they we re setting off three weeks ago. they were being led by martin moran, a well—known climber. a search began when they failed to return to base camp on friday. yesterday, four britons from that group were airlifted to safety, but it is

thought they had taken a different route up the mountain. they were able to give us some inputs about the general direction in which the remaining mountaineers have gone. there seems to have been multiple avalanches in that general area. all 12 avalanches in that general area. all i2 climbers had permits for the nanda devi mountain. they went through the eastern base camp and then appear to have split into two groups. the eight who were missing we re groups. the eight who were missing were trying to ascend an unclaimed summit of over 6400 metres, possibly along this ridge. after searching from the east of the mountain, authorities say they are now looking from the direction of this glacier in the south—east. but the search ended earlier yesterday due to bad weather, and with more heavy snow expected, hopes of finding the group alive are fading. aviation regulators in the us have identified new problems with boeing's troubled 737 max aircraft, which is currently grounded after two fatal crashes. the federal aviation agency say improperly manufactured parts may

have been fitted to the wings of more than 300 planes. boeing has been ordered to replace them. some of the candidates in the conservative leadership race have been urged to step aside by the communities secretary, james brokenshire. there are 13 mps in the running for the job, but mr brokenshire believes there should be fewer contenders, so the contest can be settled quickly and the party can move on. the gunman who opened fire on his coworkers in the us state of virginia on friday, killing 12 people, had resigned from the city's public utilities department that morning. earlier reports described dewayne craddock as a disgruntled employee, but he had not been sacked, and had worked for the city for about 15 years. the authorities are still seeking a motive for the shooting, which has led to renewed calls

for tighter laws on gun control. four people were injured in venice when a 900 foot long ship suffered engine failure. critics say vessels like this pose a conservation risk and pollute the city's waters, and mar its beauty. thankfully no—one was hurt. we will try and play that with sound a little later, because you can hear it crashing along the side of the canal. 300 veterans of the d—day landings, which happened 75 years ago this week, are embarking on a special voyage to france to remember those who lost their lives. they are travelling on a cruise ship, the boudicca, which has been chartered by the royal british legion. 0ur correspondent robert hall isjoining them. they were young men when they wrote their last letters home before boarding ships and landing craft for a cross—channeljourney into the unknown.

now, they're returning, honouring the thousands who never came back and who lie in the cemeteries of normandy. john roberts was aboard one of the naval vessels firing on the beaches. now 95, he says he had to mark this anniversary. this was such a huge event for the history of europe, as well as britain, that i'm glad that it's being reunited or reignited, so the children know what happened. archive: this is it. they're on the beach... 7,000 vessels landed over 130,000 british, canadian and us troops on five d—day beaches. chelsea pensionerjames george has travelled to remember the lost friends from his mortar platoon. bill chapman... he recalls the loss of life on juno beach. the canadians were all laid along the beach, and very tidy,

a long line of them as far as i could see, the dead canadians. they'd been picked up and laid along the beach — horrible. this will be the last time many veterans are able to share those memories. aged between 90 and 101, those aboard the boudicca are determined to make the most of it. robert hall, bbc news in the english channel. beautiful pictures there as well. and in line with that... an 89—year—old war veteran was crowned the winner of britain's got talent last night. colin thackery, who performed the song long changes everything for the show‘s finale, won £250,000 and the opportunity to sing at the royal variety performance. mr thackery, who served in the british army for 25 years, said he would die happy if he had

the chance to sing for the queen. the queen hasn't been to that for many years. anyway, it is brilliant that he won. hundreds of thousands of football fans lined the streets of liverpool yesterday to welcome the city's champions league winners home. players and staff went on an open—top bus parade with the famous trophy, finishing at the waterfront, where supporters celebrated their 2—0 win over spurs in saturday's final in madrid. they are just beautiful, fantastic pictures. so much celebration. sally, you are also a little bit tired, but you didn't make it to that, did you? i didn't make it to that, did you? i didn't make it to that, but i did go to the champions league final on saturday. to be fair, it wasn't the best game of

football i've ever watched. it was incredibly dull, wasn't it? no, it was great! but it was an experience, andi was great! but it was an experience, and i would just like to say to all of the fans i met over the weekend, spurs fans, liveable fans, thank you for being so brilliant, because the atmosphere was just gorgeous. i was travelling with children and i got looked after at every turn. everywhere we went, it was wonderful, from getting into the stadium, public transport, all of that. let's remind ourselves of what it was all about. a magical saturday night in madrid, where divock 0rigi's late goal sealed a 2—0 win against tottenham. it means now only ac milan and real madrid have won more european cup titles than liverpool. johanna konta is having a great french open. she is into the quarter—finals after beating donna vekic. she has now got the chance to become the first british woman in more than 35 years to make the last four at roland—garros. anthonyjoshua may never recover from his shock defeat over the weekend. that is according to his promoter, eddie hearn. joshua lost his three world heavyweight titles to the unfancied andy ruinr in new york.

and england are back in action at the cricket world cup today. they take on pakistan at trent bridge, looking to build on that impressive win over south africa last time out. 0h oh my goodness, it has been a busy few days. you missed a lot, walker. i have been watching it all. multitasking with the best of us. you won't have seen anthonyjoshua, if you are coming back. incredible upset, we have a great exec coming in the papers. i was watching quite a few interviews he gave yesterday saying how he will deal with that, and some of the things he has gone through in his career, and how he is going to quite literally take it on the chin, and a possible fight with

de0ntay wilder. he was incredibly gracious, gracious in victory, but gracious, gracious in victory, but gracious in defeat as well. let's take a look at today's papers. the liverpool football team appear on the front of a number of today's papers. several also focus on donald trump's uk visit, with the guardian reporting on the anger provoked by the us ambassador suggesting the nhs should be "on the table" in future trade talks. "it's my way or huawei," is the headline on the front of the sun, which reports theresa may is "braced for a clash" with mr trump after he warned her not to allow the chinese tech company to be involved in britain's 5g network. the times front page features an attack on tory leadership hopeful michael gove over his suggestion he could delay brexit beyond the current 31st of october deadline. the stance has "provoked fury" among his opponents, who believe it could put jeremy corbyn in number ten, according to the paper. and finally, the 89—year—old winner of britain's got talent, chelsea pensioner colin thackery, is on the front page of the express, along with a story about how people should change their lifestyle in eight ways to cut their risk

of developing dementia. ben and sally are still knocking about. then, what do you have? good morning to you too. there is loads in the business page this morning. interesting stories here and i would like to start with this. apple telling us that itunes, the store that revolutionised the way we coi'isuitie that revolutionised the way we consume and bought music after it introduced the ipod could be no more. we expect that they will announce a service that will split movies, music and games into three distinct offerings. they will announce that later today. the itunes that began back in 2001 could come to the end of its life later. a

story down the bottom here that i'd like to highlight as well. amazon says it will open ten new stores across the country in what it calls click and mortar. the idea is that retailers use its platform to sell through the website and can have a physical place to sell some of their product. you may think that amazon is responsible for some of the decline on the high street sol is responsible for some of the decline on the high street so i will spank to the uk boss of amazon on —— i will speak to the uk boss of amazon on about the stores across the country, if that is too little too late in terms of reviving the nation 's too late in terms of reviving the nation '5 high streets. too late in terms of reviving the nation '5 high streetslj too late in terms of reviving the nation 's high streets. i want to show you this incredible picture from the weekend when we talk about anthonyjoshua. the obvious thing. look at the difference in the physical condition, what appears to be the physical condition of those two men. it is not a bodybuilding competition, however. that is

interesting. many of the papers suggest that the mexican boxer was, in theirwords, again suggest that the mexican boxer was, in their words, again but it did not —— in their words, lardy, in their words, again but it did not —— in theirwords, lardy, that in the end it did not matter. this article on the return of liverpool with the champions league trophy. jordan henderson and the hugely emotional response between him and his father. that we have him on top of the trophy, on the plane on their way home. this is the moment with his father, brian, brian recovered from throat cancer a couple of years ago and he was there. it was a very emotional night and one thing that i don't know if the television picked up don't know if the television picked up on was many liverpool is celebrating with tears and dancing.

the hotspur manager during the trophy presentation was in floods of tears. floods and floods. he literally could not keep it back and what was lovely was all the backroom staff just crowded around what was lovely was all the backroom staffjust crowded around him so that nobody could really see. he stood in the middle of them on his own and wept. he was weeping, exactly what it was. they protected him. statistics about the visit of the president. this is the beast. a p pa re ntly the president. this is the beast. apparently there are two of them that arrived before you. one as a decoy. whenever vladimir putin arrives at the kremlin there are a lwa ys two helicopters so you never know which one he is in. five inch bodywork, aluminium titanium and ceramic to break up projectiles. i

cannot believe this but here, just behind in front of the front right wheel you can fire tear gas from their and also a pump action shotgun. it is like something from james bond. and there are 20 vehicles in the motorcade. a watchtower, that james hostile vehicles in the motorcade. a watchtower, thatjames hostile radar and laser. it is extraordinary. ambulance at the back, police car at the front. night vision cameras. ambulance at the back, police car at the front. night vision cameraslj the front. night vision cameras.” am quitejealous. the front. night vision cameras.” am quite jealous. there is a satellite phone, a firefighting system a glass screen that only the president has a button for. still played bomb protection. and the tyres are played bomb protection. and the tyres a re kevlar played bomb protection. and the tyres are kevlar reinforced so you cannot puncture them. even if they did happen, the car can drive on steel rims if needed. in other news, for us coffee drinkers... i have

already had one. i'm sitting here thinking i need another. we can drink 25 cups of coffee in a day and it would not harm our heart. are you sure? that is what the research says. five, up to 25 cups is no worse for the arteries. excuse me. i need to go try that now. i have another 24 to drink. i am still going to try and go through life without a cup of coffee. but for us mere mortals here is carol with a look at the weather. thank you and good morning. yesterday we had the highest temperature of the year so far, 28.8 degrees in norfolk. today will feel much fresher wherever you are, there is a noticeable breeze and bright and sunny spells, the best in the south and the east, in the north and west there are heavy

showers and the risk of thunder embedded in those. we had rain over the night through northern and western areas, clearing away from the south—east. this is the weather front that moved across yesterday bringing rain with it and behind it we pulled in fresher air. the continent is still very warm. low pressure is dominating our weather and you can tell that by looking at the isobars but it is still very windy, particularly so across the north and the west. showers will be blown along quite quickly but some of them could be heavy and possibly thundery. in the afternoon we are still looking at showers in scotland and northern ireland, brighter skies towards the east of scotland. for england and wales there are showers in wales in the south—west blowing the breeze towards the midlands, maybe into lincolnshire and east anglia. that is by the time we get to the latter part of the afternoon. temperatures are way down. 20 is likely to be the top temperature today in london and we are looking

at 11-15 today in london and we are looking at 11—15 as we push across the northern half of the country. but if you catch a heavy shower the temperature will dip. through the evening and overnight would lose some showers and hang onto them in the west. the wind will fall a little lighter and then our next system starts to push in from the south—west introducing some rain to wales, south—west england, just about getting in across north—west england as well. temperatures falling between eight and 12 degrees. tomorrow we have the rain again pushing northwards and eastwards through the course of the day. we may just eastwards through the course of the day. we mayjust catch a shower in the far south—east with the heaviest rain continuing its journey towards scotland. the temperature is 10—20 in london. and then for wednesday a weather front will have pushed all the way up towards scotland and you can see how it wraps around the north and west of scotland. a lot of dry weather around. showers getting in across the south—west possibly into wales. there could be heavy and

this is a system we are watching closely coming from the continent. it may swing into east anglia and the south—east where we do need some rain. dependent on the position of wednesday we will have a bearing on where it is on thursday. we think moving up eastern areas that this could change. so you if you are relying on the rain, keep in touch with the weather forecast. temperatures slipping a little more, looking at 11—14 in the north and highs of 18 as we push down towards the south. thank you very much, carol and we will see you in a few minutes. thank you very much. here we go. look at this. if you look at your screen, carol, we have a couple of gas in here. president trump is due to arrive in london injust a few hours, for the start of a three day state visit which the prime minister says will be a chance for the uk and the us to strengthen their "already close relationship".

so what do people think about him being invited? with opinion divided, we sent tim muffett on a road trip to get some clarity. i have hit the road. the music is cloud, the view was spectacular. i am driving from washington to philadelphia. that the villages of washington and philadelphia here in tynong where south of newcastle. where better to find out what people in the uk think about president trump's state visit? i think it is a good idea. ithink trump's state visit? i think it is a good idea. i think it will be good for both countries because we trade with each other. run helps to maintain washington village green.” would love to have him visit washington. another president carter came here and planted some trees. that is because ancestors of the

first american president, george washington, lived here. they took the village name as their surname so when the us capitol was named after the first president was indirectly named after this village. the 45th president seems a bit more divisive. no, i don't think we should inviting him with this bigotry and poisonous view. he is a strange man but the president of the united states and partnered with us. so we should honour the position, not the man. four miles to philadelphia. better hit the road. to break thejourney, a quick stop at the shopping mall.” think he is a dangerous man. i don't think he is a dangerous man. i don't think he is a dangerous man. i don't think he uses this rain before he talks and he just goes straight in with two left feet. you need someone with two left feet. you need someone with a bit of a power stamp, who does what they say. and it does

that. there may be a bargain or two here but state visits do not come cheap. i think it is a waste of our muggy. people over here are in greater need than them. i am not looking forward to him coming. the queen has met 12 american presidents but until now only two have been here on official state visits. george w bush and iraq 0bama. so for president trump this is a rare opportunity. some 15 minutes later, journeys and. the philadelphia village pub. i think is extremist and has no diplomacy. he is horrible in the way he speaks. he comes across harsh but i think... i reckon he would be better than what we have. a philadelphia and a washington more than 3000 miles from theirfamous washington more than 3000 miles from their famous namesakes. washington more than 3000 miles from their famous namesa kes. but washington more than 3000 miles from theirfamous namesakes. but opinions on president trump can be found almost anywhere.

of course we will have more on president trump's visit throughout the programme. we think he is due to land at ten minutes to nine but things can change. it is meant to be that the plane lands and then there isa that the plane lands and then there is a two—minute window and then the doors open. we will see what happens and bring it all to you and talk about that in regards to today. let us know what you think about the state visit on our normal social media sites and numbers. time now for the news, travel and whether wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm tolu adeoye. the capital's all set for the arrival of us president donald trump this morning. met police say a number of protests are expected, roads around stjames' park will be closed to vehicles and trafalgar square — parliament square and sections of whitehall are expected to be busy. the visit will be watched closely by the world's media — including some who say it's

important to maintain good relations. it is important to remember that is a very important relationship. we have the number one and number five economies in the world, side—by—side they have fought in a number of was and generally ascribed to the same liberal internationalist values. and generally ascribed to the same liberal internationalist valuesm you feel guilty for having too much coffee, new research suggests drinking up to 25 cups a day is not bad for your heart the study of more than 8000 people found that drinking loads of cups was no worse than drinking less than one. previous studies suggested that coffee stiffe ns studies suggested that coffee stiffens arteries and puts pressure on the hard and increases the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke. a london man's made it his mission to make martial arts more accessible for diabled people. jonathan buffong has learnt sign language so he can teach mixed martial arts for people who are deaf and blind. he has adapted training methods to teach them. he says it is helping

them to improve their self—confidence. let's ta ke let's take a look at the travel situation now. a good service on all lines so far this morning on the road, traffickers building into town, very busy there on the interchange. road closures as mentioned earlier around westminster. finally, the old street roundabout is a 2—way traffic system and expect delays on all approaches to my up for the weather. hello and good morning. following the glorious warm and sunny weekend we are now in for a cool and more unsettled week of weather. we saw a cold front go through last night so we are already

in the cooler air this morning. quite breezy once more but there will be decent spells of sunshine and it is a nice bright start to the day. a little more cloud towards the east with a brisk south—westerly wind. we will keep the sunshine through the morning into the afternoon but there could be a line of showers forming just out towards the north—west and a chance we may catch a couple of those through the day. for most of us it will be dry and top temperatures between 17 and as high as 21 degrees but not the mid to high 20s, feeling much cooler today. late spells of sunshine and then overnight tonight it should stay dry. we will keep the clear skies for a while before it clouds into tomorrow morning. 0vernight lows for the most part staying in the double figures, perhaps single figures in rural areas. sunny skies again tomorrow but an increasing chance of seeing a shower. i will be back with the latest in 30 minutes. have a lovely morning.

hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. it is 6:30am. we will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. but also on breakfast this morning: we talk to dame emma thompson about climate change, being a women in showbiz, and her new film, late night. former england spinner monty panesar will be here. he has been writing about the highs and lows of international cricket in his new autobiography. and love island returns to our screens tonight. we will discuss life in the villa and the recent controversy with former contestant rosie williams, just after 9:00am. good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. just before 9:00am, president trump will arrive in the uk for his long—delayed state visit. over the next three days, he will meet the royal family and politicians and take part in commemorations to mark the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings. but not everyone is welcoming him. there are protests planned

across the uk during the visit. 250 climate change experts and academics have signed a letter to theresa may urging her to confront donald trump over his approach to the issue during his visit this week. in 2017 mr trump pulled out of the paris agreement, which aims to reduce global emissions, and has since described climate change as a chinese hoax. campaigners say they want the president to accept scientific evidence and commit to reducing greenhouse gases in the us to zero by 2050. rescue teams in india have resumed the search for eight climbers, including fourfrom the uk, missing in the himalayas. the group began climbing india's second—highest mountain, nanda devi, almost three weeks ago, but failed to return to base camp. local experts say the chances of finding them are bleak.

some of the candidates in the conservative leadership race have been urged to step aside by the communities secretary, james brokenshire. there are 13 mps in the running for the job, but mr brokenshire believes there should be fewer contenders, so the contest can be settled quickly and the party can move on. the gunman who opened fire on his coworkers in the us state of virginia on friday, killing 12 people, had resigned from the city's public utilities department that morning. earlier reports described dewayne craddock as a disgruntled employee, but he had not been sacked and had worked for the city for about 15 years. the authorities are still seeking a motive for the shooting, which has led to renewed calls for tighter laws on gun control. 300 veterans of the d—day landings, which happened 75 years ago this week, are embarking on a special voyage to france to remember those who lost their lives. they are travelling on a cruise ship which has been chartered by the royal british legion. more than 150,000 troops were involved in the landings, which remain the largest seaborne

invasion in history. hundreds of thousands of football fans lined the streets of liverpool yesterday to welcome the city's champions league winners home. players and staff went on an open—top bus parade with the famous trophy, finishing at the waterfront, where supporters celebrated their 2—0 win over spurs in saturday's final in madrid. you sort of imagine that some people in liverpool may not have much voice left. you know what, there was a lot of singing over the weekend from both sets of fans, and i imagine quite a bit more, i don't know if you saw last week, we had jurgen klopp interviewed on the programme and he was talking about how that was his seventh final as a manager, basically, and he was talking about

how huge the competitive his father norbert had been, and really competitive and trying to push him on all the time. his dad died years ago now and he said his one bit of advice going into the game this weekend would have been when it, this time. he said it in a really scary kind of like dad voice. and thatis scary kind of like dad voice. and that is what he did. because he had a horrible record in finals up until the weekend. horrible, but yesterday was all about celebrating. 750,000 people, i think they were all crammed in. 750,000 people lined the streets of liverpool to welcome home their champions league winners, and our sports editor dan roan was there. talk about painting the town red — this what it means to be european champions for a sixth time. an estimated 750,000 liverpool fans lining the street to celebrate the return of their heroes. spectators scrambling for any vantage point they could find to catch a glimpse of the team that

has reinforced the club's status among the true giants of game. that was just absolutely amazing. absolutely amazing. they're all heroes, all of them, it was fantastic. once you're liverpool, you love liverpool. i don't know — fabulous. we waited years for this. let's face it, we wanted the premier league, but this will do. a few hours earlier, the squad had landed home from madrid with that extra—special land luggage — the famous trophy back in liverpool for the first time in 14 years, reward for a night when winning was all that mattered. their all—english final against spurs might not have been a classic, but try telling that to the victors after a famous 2—0 win, these the scenes of celebration. # 0le, ole, ole. but might this actuallyjust be the start of something very special? we want to win things. they all have the best

times in their careers still ahead of them. that's big for me, and for me, i'm really happy. these players and their manager have breathed new life into the legendary special relationship that this club enjoys with the top prize in european football, these remarkable scenes compelling evidence ofjust how much football glory means to this city and to its people. a club and its community united in euphoria, a spectacular season ending with a celebration to match. dan roan, bbc news, liverpool. i love the way people are sitting on top of traffic lights and roadsigns. it was brilliant. well, there were so many images from the weekend that will live long in liverpool fans' memories, perhaps few as poignant as this one. it's captain jordan henderson going over to his dad for a big hug. his father, brian, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2013, and henderson says he barely saw him

during his early treatment. it has also been reported that father and son went to a champions league final together when henderson was ten, when his dad told him that one day he would play in one. i love that hug. you know what? that isa i love that hug. you know what? that is a proper hug, there were some great hugs from saturday night and thatis great hugs from saturday night and that is a proper hug. how long did it go for? ages. it is a special moment for any parent, isn't it? any pa re nt moment for any parent, isn't it? any parent who has taken akin to a foot ball parent who has taken akin to a football game or a parent who has brought up a sporting kid. there is a lovely bit the end where jordan is holding onto his dad and his dad 's starting to say come on, and he turns into dad. it is lovely. johanna konta is having a great french open. she is through to the quarter—finals

after beating donna vekic in the last 16. remember, she had never won a match in the main draw at roland—garros before this year. she has now got the chance to become the first british woman in more than 35 years to reach the semi—finals. what next for anthonyjosua, after the first defeat of his professional career? well, his promoter, eddie hearn, says thatjosua may never be the same again after losing his three world heavyweight titles to the unfancied andy ruinr. it is a huge setback forjoshua, who had been eyeing superfights with tyson fury and deontay wilder. i feel like this is just part of a journey that i'm on. this is boxing, and what i have to do is re—evaluate the situation, make it better, and we go again. we didn't come this far too kind of stop. we didn't come this far to fold under pressure. we came this far, and i feel like we can definitely go a lot further. england's cricket world cup campaign rolls into nottingham this morning.

they are playing pakistan at trent bridge, a ground where england have made their two highest—ever scores in one—day cricket, so expect fireworks. the hosts lived up to their tags as favourites by beating south africa last time out, whilst pakistan were comprehensively beaten by west indies. and how about this for a catch from yesterday's action. no, not from a player, but from a photographer — one—handed, as well. excellent work. give this man a shirt. he was probably trying to protect the camera. bangladesh won the match, beating south africa by 21 runs. what a hero. before i finish, one more bit of fun from jurgen klopp, who unsurprisingly, liverpool now want to sign a new deal. that is him counting up how many champions league trophies they have. he made sure that everyone was aware ofjust how many times the club have won the european cup during the parade. on saturday night, it even

inspired him to have a bit ofa sing. you can always speak about development, all the stuff, if you don't have something you can show, there are always a couple of people who can tell you, yes, but we didn't win. so now... # let's talk about six, baby. # let's talk about you and me. # let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be. # let's talk about six. it is magnificently cringed. remind me when we talk about anthonyjoshua later, i have just me when we talk about anthonyjoshua later, i havejust read an interesting tweet from lennox lewis. you are not going to tell me now? no, i will save it for later. it's the giant synonymous with the revolution in how we shop, but this morning

amazon is opening its first physical shop in the uk. it is part of a plan to open ten physical stores in high streets across the uk over the next year. it isa it is a kind of reversal of what they have done already. a lot of criticism that this is just ten stores across the country, amazon is synonymous with changing our shopping habits and leaving in no small part to the decline in our high street, so many suggesting this is too little, too late. we spoke to one organisation which represents high streets up and down the country to try and get more of us to support local business. this is what they told us about that move. rather than a leg up from almost

like a charity, from a really big corporation, who has played a massive part in the demise of the high street, what small businesses wa nt high street, what small businesses want is a level playing field. so they just want to be want is a level playing field. so theyjust want to be paying the same taxes, they want the same rates to be paid by amazon, and then when that starts to happen, they had got a fighting chance. that is one view of amazon's move. in the next hour i will hot footed across town because the first of these stores and is on our opening rn manchester city centre, so traffic permitting... i am going to go down to this store and have a look myself. we will hopefullyjoin you from there in about an hour's time, if we can get there. there's all sorts of things i want to ask him, because quite clearly a lot of headlines about amazon, about its role in contributing to the downfall of the high street, also whether it pays the right taxes. amazon says it does, a lot of critics say, well,

you don't pay the same high street stores, the likes of m&s, boots, they pay much more to be on the high street and that makes it difficult for them. and also the conditions for them. and also the conditions for some of the workers. there's been a lot of criticism about robotic, automated warehouses that keep too much of a track on their workers. i will speak to him in about an hour's time, hope to join you from there. let's hope the manchester traffic allows. regional roads can be a bit of a nightmare. , 90, roads can be a bit of a nightmare. , go, go! if you see him sprinting in manchester, do take a picture. good morning everyone. for some of us it is a beautiful start to the day as you can tell from this picture taken in northern ireland this morning. the son is already up and the days are getting a little longer. but the forecast today in northern ireland is for showers through the day and also scotland.

for central, southern and eastern areas it will be mostly dry. it will feel fresher than it did. yesterday's top temperature was 28.8dc making it the warmest day of the year so far. it will not be like that today. we have rain across scotla nd that today. we have rain across scotland and northern ireland, a couple of showers in wales and the south—west and rain clearing away from the south—east her to see of this weather front. that's what brought us rain overnight and behind that, fresh conditions follow wanted it low pressure is in charge of the weather and isobars are telling you it will be a windy day with gusty winds across western scotland and the pennines as we go through the day but wherever you are you will notice the breeze. it will help blow the showers along so showers across scotla nd the showers along so showers across scotland and northern ireland, some are heavy and possibly thundery, drier in the east and then as we move drier in the east and then as we m ove a cross drier in the east and then as we move across england and wales the

showers in wales and the south—west in the breeze and blown in towards the middle and possibly lincolnshire on the west of east anglia as we go through the afternoon. temperatures 11-20 through the afternoon. temperatures 11—20 so quite a drop if you are out today. as we head through the evening and overnight many showers will fade and we will hang onto some across western scotland and northern ireland and then this tax system comes up from the south—west introducing some rain across south—west england and wales. the wind will start to ease a little and there will be clear spells around and the temperature falls between eight and 12. tomorrow we pick up this band of rain and it is moving northwards and eastwards. you can see how it spreads out. we do not think it will reach the south—east at this stage but you could see a few showers. nothing significant. ahead of that across north—west scotla nd ahead of that across north—west scotland not as many showers as today. 10 degrees in the north reaching 20 in the south. for wednesday here is the rain that will

have eventually reached the northern isles, you can see that area of low pressure with a curl of rain around it. that will weaken through some —— for some through the afternoon but we are watching this rain hereunder near continent. it could edge into kent and east anglia as we go through the course of the day or it may be later on that that happens. a few showers out towards the west but quite a bit of dry weather on wednesday. 0nto thursday it looks like the band of rain coming in from the near continent will run up the east coast of england and scotland but the positioning of this could change depending on where it is on wednesday. this week generally it looks unsettled and a bit fresher than the weekend. more from carol later on in the programme. something else talking about this day is the fact that president trump and first lady will land in london to begin a three—day

state visit to. it is mr trump's second trip to the uk as us president — a year ago he met the queen and prime minister theresa may against the backdrop of protests in the capital. so what can we expect from this visit? us politics analyst trevor mccrisken joins us now. you are with us throughout the programme today. this is a different kind of visit because it is what you call a state visit. what is the difference? it is a more formal visit. the last time he was here he was clearly not here on a state visit even though he met the queen and the prime minister but this time there will be more formality and p°mp there will be more formality and pomp and circumstance. they are really rolling out the red carpet with a big statement from buckingham palace, t with prince charles, getting the full treatment that heads of state are granted a couple of times a year. he will have this level of it and for him it is a great thing to and being treated as

the great world leader that he sees himself as being as us president. and he is bringing this adult children which shows you again why he sees, how he sees it from this perspective. how will that go down in america? there is a lot of interest in the uk, in the royal family so it will be beneficial for him in terms of the symbolic pictures that will go back to the us. they are less interested in some of the detail of some of the politics that he may engage in that is uk—based but some big issues around the middle east and the relationship with china which people will be looking closely to see what kinds of comments he makes about those and what the response of the uk is. but it is an interesting time because we are in a flux at the moment with our own politic. theresa may is leaving very soon and so the degree to which they can have a serious talk with long lasting

effect on the relationship will be quite questionable over the coming few days. watching those pictures, quite famous once when he walked in front of the queen. is there a sense that he may have learnt some protocol at least? he does not really listen to some of his advisers, it seems. i'm sure he has been told clearly because this is a much more formal visit and there will be many more times where he is with the royal family and expected to follow particular protocol. however donald trump is his own person. he likes to be the centre of attention and for the cameras to be on him. i don't think he will worry about whether he is again upsetting about whether he is again upsetting a member of the royalfamily by standing in the wrong place or saying the wrong things. there is much concern about what you may end up much concern about what you may end up saying during the various meetings that he has over the next few days ahead of the commemorations for d—day. his audience —— he has

been speaking about british internal politics in ways you would not expect and he is a controversial figure. it is not a view that will go smoothly and there are concerns he will say controversial things about brexit and the tory leadership and about the us relationship with the uk in light of differences over opinion over iran and china and various issues where we have quite a lot of different opinions to the trump administration. we were speaking to sir vince cable who is one of those who turn down the opportunity tojoin one of those who turn down the opportunity to join the state banquet did he spoke about those processes and for that reason and because of who he is there will be a ring of steel around the president. iam sure ring of steel around the president. i am sure they will try carefully to keep him away from protesters as much as possible so that he is out of earshot and protected from any possible interventions that members of the public may want to have two airtheir of the public may want to have two air their opinion of what they think of him. he is bringing a huge

security detail with him as he does whenever he travels abroad. but he will... he will be in the centre of london and going to westminster abbey, at downing street and buckingham palace. he will be in places where the public can get relatively close and if the estimates we are hearing of a quarter of a million protesters, they will be heard. so those are the pictures he will not necessarily wa nt to pictures he will not necessarily want to have being aired back in the us because he is obviously facing reaction —— re—election in 1.5 years and there are possibilities here for him to use this visit as a way to demonstrate how respected he is around the world but the images of protesters on the street will say something very different. you are with us later and we know the plane is due to land at ten minutes to nine but we will watch carefully. thank you very much. we will have that live for you later in the programme and throughout the day we will be discussing it across the

bbc. dame emma thompson is an enduring talent in the acting world with the accolades to prove it, but in recent months, she's been in the news for issues away from the showbiz world. i caught up with the two—time 0scar winner ahead of the release of her new film ‘late night', to talk about climate change, feminism and the menopause. i love your character in this and i particularly love it coz she is not terribly likeable. i came to tell you that this year is your last. are you that this year is your last. are you cancelling the show? no. i am cancelling you. i like embracing brewed women. i don't find it difficult at all. but, yeah, she is ina difficult at all. but, yeah, she is in a position of great power and she is abusing it slightly. i am being replaced as host of this show because of lack of quality and i think it is your fault. she has a writers room. she has not entered it in years and then she is forced to

go in because she needs to recognise the fact she will get fired unless she does something. so she goes into see them and she does not know who any of them are. she cannot be bothered to learn their names. she just gives them numbers, and that is something that actually happened. you are one, two, three and you, you are fired. she said that there was only one person she wanted to play the role and that was you. she wrote it for me. that was strange. five yea rs it for me. that was strange. five years ago when people say they write things for you they are generally elderly archaeologist or geography teachers who suddenly discover that they are gay or dying of dementia. it is that kind of thing. but it is never this, never a late—night talk show host who is sparky and funny. it was one of the best scripts i had read in years. some of the things she talks about and jokes about our taboos as well like, for example, we have had a big week on menopause and

it makes you laugh out loud when you stand up and say that you are a menopausal woman. is a great to turn those taboos upside down?” menopausal woman. is a great to turn those taboos upside down? i have never thought of menopause as a taboo although you don't realise until you mention it and suddenly eve ryo ne until you mention it and suddenly everyone goes thank god you are talking about it, you don't realise that it has been sidelined and not discussed because it is something to do with women who have been sidelined and not discussed for centuries. as we are, coming out as it were, from the suppression it is interesting to see our reactions to things that we know were there but men do not because they have not seen men do not because they have not seen it and that is why it is lovely when men react to this film. no experience? are you hiring a woman? just hire one! you are hired! you came here and you were part of the extension protest and you made headlines. did you realise that the

was what was going to happen? no. i'm not with extinction rebellion. they asked me to join them because i have been campaigning with greenpeace for many years including flying to the arctic with greenpeace people. this is what you have to do sometimes. as does david attenborough of course, making the programmes that have started to save the planet and he probably has a calmer footprint the side —— size of wales but nobody called him names for its. it surprised me because it came out of the blue. i was upset because i had come home from work. but i was astonished that in the face of this crisis they were willing to put their personal, this personal abuse in front of the biggest crisis that is facing humanity at the moment. we could

carry on for some time. it is so lovely to meet you. well done for the menopause stuff that is great. i was thinking of writing a menopause sitcom. you must! you must! i'm having a second menopause now because i am so hot. i am taking my shoes off. i get the feeling you could have spent hours with her.” i get the feeling you could have spent hours with her. i did spend a long time with her. and we have a longer interview we will play at 830. and emma's new film is called ‘late night'. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. the capital's all set for the arrival of the us president — donald trump this morning. met police say a number of protests are expected. roads around stjames' park and part of green park will be closed. the visit will be watched closely

by the world's media. it is important to remember that is a very important relationship. we have the number one and number five economies in the world, side—by—side they have fought in a number of wars and generally ascribed to the same liberal internationalist values. now if you feel guilty for having too much coffee — new research suggets drinking up to 25 cups a day is not bad for your heart. the study of more than 8,000 people by scientists at queen mary university of london found that drinking loads of cups was no worse than drinking less than one. previous studies suggested coffee stiffens arteries, putting pressure on the heart and increasing the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke. a london man's using sign language to make martial arts more accessible to diabled people. —— disabled people. jonathan buffong has adapted his training methods

so he can teach people who are deaf and blind. thomas paull says it's helped improve self confidence. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning the ferry is suspended due to industrial action. there are roads closed for president trump ‘s visit. finally, the old street roundabout is now a two way traffic system. expect delays on all approaches. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello and good morning. following the glorious warm and sunny weekend we are now in for a cool and more unsettled week of weather. we saw a cold front go through last night so we are already in the cooler air this morning.

quite breezy once more but there will be decent spells of sunshine and it is a nice bright start to the day. a little more cloud towards the east with a brisk south—westerly wind. we will keep the sunshine through the morning into the afternoon but there could be a line of showers forming just out towards the north—west and a chance we may catch a couple of those through the day. for most of us it will be dry and top temperatures between 17 and as high as 21 degrees but not the mid to high 20s, feeling much cooler today. late spells of sunshine and then overnight tonight it should stay dry. we will keep the clear skies for a while before it clouds into tomorrow morning. 0vernight lows for the most part staying in the double figures, perhaps single figures in rural areas. sunny skies again tomorrow but an increasing chance of seeing a shower. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: in the next few hours, president trump's plane lands in the uk for a long—awaited state visit, that has raised eyebrows even before it has begun. it comes after his controversial comments about the conservative party leadership and brexit. thousands of protestors are expected to demonstrate against his visit. the president will be heading here later to buckingham palace to have lunch with the queen, after landing at stansted airport just before 9:00am. rescue teams in india have resumed the search for eight climbers, including fourfrom the uk, missing in the himalayas. amazon moves into the high street. it says it will give smaller online firms a physical presence, but is it too little, too late? i'll speak to the boss after 7:00am.

a hero's welcome, as liverpool parade the champions league trophy in front of 750,000 fans. good morning. ifresherfeel good morning. i fresher feel to good morning. ifresherfeel to the day—to—day, windier than yesterday for most and showers in the north and west. drier in the south and the east. i will have more in 15 minutes. it is monday 3june. our top story: just before 9:00am, president trump will arrive in the uk for his long—delayed state visit. over the next three days, he will meet the royal family and politicians, and take part in commemorations to mark the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings. but not everyone is welcoming him. there are protests planned across the uk during the visit. here is our diplomatic correspondent james landale. day one of donald trump's state

visit, and the focus is on ceremony. the queen will welcome the president to buckingham palace with an extended gun salute, a guard of honour, and lunch. there will be a visit to westminster abbey, tea with the prince of wales at clarence house, and then a state banquet back at the palace. but, even before he has arrived, president trump has been causing headlines by saying britain should pursue a no—deal brexit, it should avoid doing a deal with the chinese telecoms giant huawei, and it should back a trade deal that his ambassador admits could involve the nhs. such is the concern of some that they say the state visit should not even be taking place, and tens of thousands are preparing to protest on the streets of london. i think we've got to send a message on tuesday that people need to stand up to this kind of toxic politics, to this deeply bigoted and reactionary kind of politics that he represents, and that if we do stand up, actually, we can start to turn the tables on him and everything that he symbolises.

the outgoing prime minister, theresa may, insisted britain's relationship with the us had underpinned its security and prosperity for many years. but it is a relationship that is under pressure. this state visit is supposed to emphasise britain and america's shared values, history and sacrifice, particularly in the second world war. the risk, though, is that it also highlights differences of policy. james landale, bbc news. 0ur washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue is outside buckingham palace. gary, what do both sides, the us and the uk, expect from this visit? well, it's going to be a combination. it's going to be a sort of heady cocktail, if you like, between the kind of rejectable choreography of a state visit but the utter unpredictability of you putting donald trump in the middle

of all that. so today we will see some fairly carefully orchestrated events, where the president will arrive at the uk, he will come here at lunchtime and be met by the queen. they will have lunch. there will be some other ceremonies later on at westminster abbey, and then that big banquet here tonight. and buried mind, the queen will say something at that banquet. she is pretty good at these things, she has done one or two in her time. donald trump will also give a speech there. i don't know whether we will get the words from that or not, but there will be enough people therefore what he says to get out. it will be fascinating to hear what he says in front of the whole royal family. tomorrow will be on to politics, the meeting with theresa may. in terms of the politics and what both sides will get, given theresa may is stepping down on friday, it is difficult from the us, white house and state department point of view to know whether they will do any real firm business in to know whether they will do any realfirm business in terms to know whether they will do any real firm business in terms of the policy agenda, given that they don't really know which prime minister they are going to be dealing with in

six or eight weeks' time. good to talk to you, and we will be live throughout the morning, and a reminder that if you have just tuned m, reminder that if you have just tuned in, the presidential plane, air force one, will arrive about 8:50am. later in the programme we will hear from former conservative leader lord michael howard, who supports president trump's visit, and also from liberal democrat leader sir vince cable, who has declined an invitation to the state banquet tonight. we will hear from both of them at 8:10am. 250 climate change experts and academics have signed a letter to theresa may urging her to confront donald trump over his approach to the issue during his state visit this week. in 2017, mr trump pulled out of the paris agreement, which aims to reduce global emissions, and has since described climate change as a chinese hoax. campaigners say they want the president to accept scientific evidence and commit to reducing greenhouse gases in the us to zero by 2050. rescue teams in india have resumed the search for eight climbers, including four britons,

missing in the himalayas. the group was climbing india's second—highest mountain, nanda devi, when they disappeared. sarah walton has more. it is a place few have ever seen. nanda devi is one of the toughest mountains in the world. now, eight climbers are missing here. they were part of this group, seen here before setting off three weeks ago. they were being led by martin moran, a well—known climber. a search began when they failed to return to base camp on friday. yesterday, four britons from that group were airlifted to safety, but it is thought they had taken a different route up the mountain. they were able to give us some inputs about the general direction in which these remaining mountaineers have gone. there seems to have been multiple avalanches in the general area. all 12 climbers had permits for the nanda devi mountain.

they went through the eastern base camp, and then appear to have split into two groups. the eight that are missing were trying to ascend an unclaimed summit of over 6,400 metres, possibly along this ridge. after searching from the east of the mountain, authorities say they are now looking from the direction of this glacier in the south—east. but the search ended early yesterday due to bad weather, and with more heavy snow expected, hopes of finding the group alive are fading. a caver has died in the yorkshire dales after a 17—hour rescue attempt involving nearly 100 volunteers. the man is said to have broken his leg in a fall deep within a cave at curtain pot, on fountains fell, on saturday. the cave rescue 0rganisation said he died before being brought to the surface. some of the candidates in the conservative leadership race have been urged to step aside by the communities secretary, james brokenshire. there are 13 mps in the running for the job, but mr brokenshire believes there should be fewer contenders,

so the contest can be settled quickly and the party can move on. the gunman who opened fire on his coworkers in the us state of virginia on friday, killing 12 people, had resigned from the city's public utilities department that morning. earlier reports described dewayne craddock as a disgruntled employee, but he had not been sacked and had worked for the city for about 15 years. the authorities are still seeking a motive for the shooting, which has led to renewed calls for tighter laws on gun control. take a look at these incredible images from a cruise ship in venice. this is the msc 0pera, a 900—foot—long vessel, which suffered engine failure and collided with a dock and a small tourist boat in the giudecca canal yesterday. four people were injured, and officials now say they are considering banning ships of this size from the cities waterways.

tha nkfully thankfully nobody was hurt, but it could have been so much more dangerous. 300 veterans of the d—day landings, which happened 75 years ago this week, are embarking on a special voyage to france to remember those who lost their lives. they are travelling on a cruise ship which has been chartered by the royal british legion. 0ur correspondent robert hall isjoining them. they were young men when they wrote their last letters home before boarding ships and landing craft for a cross—channeljourney into the unknown. now, they're returning, honouring the thousands who never came back, and who lie in the cemeteries of normandy. john roberts was aboard one of the naval vessels firing on the beaches. now 95, he says he had to mark this anniversary. this was such a huge event for the history of europe,

as well as britain, that i'm glad that it's being reunited or reignited, so the children know what happened. archive: this is it. they're on the beach... 7,000 vessels landed over 130,000 british, canadian and us troops on five d—day beaches. chelsea pensionerjames george has travelled to remember the lost friends from his mortar platoon. bill chapman... he recalls the loss of life on juno beach. the canadians were all laid along the beach, and very tidy, a long line of them as far as i could see, the dead canadians. they'd been picked up and laid along the beach — horrible. this will be the last time many veterans are able to share those memories. aged between 90 and 101, those aboard the boudicca are determined to make the most of it. robert hall, bbc news

in the english channel. it is lovely, that, isn't it? yes, and we will talk about those d—day commemorations throughout the week on breakfast. hundreds of thousands of football fans lined the streets of liverpool yesterday to welcome the city's champions league winners home. players and staff went on an open—top bus parade with the famous trophy, finishing at the waterfront, where supporters celebrated their 2—0 win over spurs in saturday's final in madrid. two people who were at the final in madrid are lizzi doyle — it was her first time seeing the reds win the famous trophy, and veteran fan joe blott, who has seen it many times before. they join us now. you have not had much sleep, have you? no, not since friday. friday was the build—up, like christmas. and you managed to get back in time

to see the parade yesterday as well. i think to see the parade yesterday as well. ithinki to see the parade yesterday as well. i think i am one of the lucky ones who got to see the european cup twice in two days in the flesh, and iam not twice in two days in the flesh, and i am not taking that for granted. let's talk about the game. highly anticipated, and liverpool were the favourites. it wasn't the greatest final, but who cares now, i suppose, from your perspective. no, we don't ca re from your perspective. no, we don't care now, but i think it was a well—managed care now, but i think it was a well— managed game. for any care now, but i think it was a well—managed game. for any neutral, it wasn't a great game, if there is such a thing, but it is about winning. it is not about that game for us. 13 games to get to that final, and to get through all our magic was barcelona in the semi—final. the icing on the cake was winning it on saturday. tell us about the atmosphere in the stadium. unbelievable. i think throughout the day, to be honest with you. i went on friday and you could feel it starting to build—up, over the

momentum. as soon as we got to the ground, the fans were mingling fa nta stically. ground, the fans were mingling fantastically. no hint of trouble at all, people shaking hands, hugging each other and having a great time. as soon as the ground filled up, liverpool and tottenham fans have a great affinity with each other, the songs, the chance, and everything. the stadium was fantastic —— chants. it lends itself to european final. when you think about how good a seasonit when you think about how good a season it has been for liverpool, just missing out on the league, playing some incredible football and scoring an incredible amount of goals, how important was it that that season ended with a trophy? it could have been without a trophy at the final not gone your way.” could have been without a trophy at the final not gone your way. i said all along i didn't think this team would accept anything less than a trophy at the end of it. it was really, really ha rd trophy at the end of it. it was really, really hard to lose the lead the way that we did, city were excellent, but we thoroughly deserved to win that. they might be champions of england, but we are champions of england, but we are champions of england, but we are champions of europe, so it's all

good. and you made it back for the parade. we have seen the pictures but tell us what it was like being pa rt but tell us what it was like being part of that crowd. like i say, i got back at 6:30am, i had about five hours' sleep and went to town. there was just people everywhere. to be honest, it was just a red was just people everywhere. to be honest, it wasjust a red haze. there was a smell of pyro in the air, and kids everywhere, and the songs, and when they went past it was amazing. me and my family, as soon as we was amazing. me and my family, as soon as we got was amazing. me and my family, as soon as we got our was amazing. me and my family, as soon as we got our first glimpse, we started running down the road to try and catch a second glimpse. and there were so many people there, and it was amazing, the spirit. the whole city turned out, and i honestly don't think you would see that in any other city in the uk. and there will be a huge generation of liverpool fans now who are celebrating another european victory, but not many will remember some of those early ones. how many did you witness? i have seen four victories from the 86 finals. do you think this team can now go on to

dominate in the same way that the liverpool side that you watched?” do, definitely. 2005! liverpool side that you watched?” do, definitely. 2005 i really enjoyed, the miracle final was fantastic, but it felt like a one off. this doesn't feel like a one off. this doesn't feel like a one off. we got to kyiv last year, nearly one and then, we got second in the league, as we have been discussing now. this is a journey andl discussing now. this is a journey and i think the main part of the journey for me is about the way... they see the pictures behind you, the fans in the players together, and it brings back memories of the holy trinity, of the manager, the fans and the players. it really feels that way at the moment and thatis feels that way at the moment and that is only good for the future. and were you born a liverpool fan?” was, i was about ten, for istanbul, which was amazing and magical, but i cried my eyes out. i am going to see many more of them, i think. and very quickly, if you were in charge of

handing jurgen klopp a new contract, when would you hand him that contract until? 2030 ? when would you hand him that contract until? 2030? more, until the end of time! keep going, keep going. enjoy the rest of the celebration. and get some sleep as well. we are seeing some lovely views of london this morning because donald trump will be visiting buckingham palace today. he is landing at ten minutes to nine this morning but this is trafalgar square looking rather spectacular. we will bring you the interesting detail later on. two minutes from the plane landing until the doors are meant to open. we have reporters there and then throughout the day the bbc news channel will bring you detail and show you some protesters well because there are protest planned in a number of cities to coincide with president trump's state visit. a number of cities to coincide with president trump's state visitm does look like a lovely day and carol has the details. lovely and quiet there as well. a beautiful start also in norfolk

which yesterday had the highest temperature of the year so far anywhere in the uk. it reached 28.8dc. fresher than that today with bright and sunny spells and some showers, some of which will be heavy and potentially thundery, especially across scotland and northern ireland. we do see a few crop up elsewhere. at the moment there are a few dotted across parts of wales in south—west england but the heaviest are across scotland and northern ireland. the rain last night pushing to the new continent and this is the front that brought it. hind upfront, as the name suggests we are pulling in fresh conditions as low pressure dominates our weather and one look at those isobars tells you it will be noticeably windy and breezy depending on where you are. gusty winds across the west of scotland, gusty across the pennines as we go through the day that will help blow the showers across quickly. dry skies in scotland will lead into

northern ireland but there will be copious showers. dry weather across england and wales but on the breeze you can see the showers blow from wales in the south—west towards the midlands into lincolnshire and eastern areas, western areas, sorry, of anglia. temperatures only reaching 20 today in the showers to temperatures will drop a bit as well. through this evening and overnight while we hang onto a couple of showers across western areas it does dry up for many other parts with clear skies developing but then this next system sweeps in from the south—west ringing rain across south—west england and also into wales. as we go through the course of tomorrow it will be moving north—eastward. and not a lot of hope of it reaching the south—east where we do need some rain. here we may just see a few showers at the rain could be heavy at times as it moves rain could be heavy at times as it m oves a cross rain could be heavy at times as it moves across the west of england, wales, northern ireland and much of scotland. dry across north—west scotla nd scotland. dry across north—west scotland where we will not have as

many showers and temperatures ranging from ten in the north reaching 20 in the south. by the time we get to wednesday the rain will be ensconced across northern scotla nd will be ensconced across northern scotland weakening a touch. a lot of dry weather across england, wales and northern ireland bar a few showers. a few showers could be heavyin showers. a few showers could be heavy in south—west england and something we are keeping a close eye on is this system here coming in from the near continent. could bring rain to office and east anglia before the end of the day. depending on where that is on wednesday will depend where it reaches on thursday. at the moment we think it will come in across them midlands areas and push north into eastern scotland and showers coming into the west as well. temperatures by thursday are 11 in the north to about 18 in the south. the outlook for this week is u nsettled. south. the outlook for this week is unsettled. we will take that. thank you very much, carole. that have a look at some of the front pages this morning. the liverpool football team appear on the front of a number

of today's papers. several also focus on donald trump's uk visit, with the guardian reporting on the anger provoked by the us ambassador suggesting the nhs should be "on the table" in future trade talks. "it's my way or huawei," is the headline on the front of the sun, which reports theresa may is "braced for a clash" with mr trump after he warned her not to allow the chinese tech company to be involved in britain's 5g network. the times front page features an attack on tory leadership hopeful michael gove over his suggestion he could delay brexit beyond the current 31st of october deadline. the stance has "provoked fury" among his opponents, who believe it could put jeremy corbyn in number 10, according to the paper. and finally, chelsea pensioner, colin thackery, who was crowned the winner of britain's got talent last night is on the front page of the express, along with a story about how people should change their lifestyle in eight ways to cut their risk of developing dementia.

he sang love changes everything and did a greatjob. having a look at the inside, dan is not a coffee drinker but... i can bear it when yours comes out at five minutes to six, your triple espresso. a study of over 8000 people found that drinking five or up people found that drinking five or up to 25 cups of coffee a day is no worse for the arteries and drinking less tha n worse for the arteries and drinking less than one. and let's have a look at this. positive information about the motorcade, the east. there are two identical that have already been flown in for the visit. there are 20 ca rs flown in for the visit. there are 20 cars in the motorcade, five inches of armour plating all around this vehicle, rocket launchers, it can fire a shotgun and tear gas from just behind the right front tire. this is what will be protect the

president and his wife while they are travelling around the uk. £1.2 million the car cost. we know that president trump is due to arrive in london... then he is. almost by magic injust a london... then he is. almost by magic in just a few hours for the start of this three—day state visit which the prime minister says will bea which the prime minister says will be a chance for the uk and us to strengthen their already close relationship. so what do people think about him being invited? 0pinion is divided. i have hit the road. the music is loud, the view was spectacular. i am driving from washington to philadelphia. that's the villages of washington and philadelphia here in tyne and wear, south of newcastle. where better to find out what people in the uk think about president trump's state visit? i think it is a good idea. i think it will be good for both countries because we trade

with each other. ron helps to maintain washington village green. i would love to have him visit washington. president carter came here and planted some trees. that is because ancestors of the first american president, george washington, lived here. they took the village name as their surname so when the us capitol was named after the first president, it was indirectly named after this village. the 45th president seems a bit more divisive. no, i don't think we should inviting him with this bigotry and poisonous view. he is a strange man but the president of the united states and partnered with us. so we should honour the position, not the man. four miles to philadelphia. better hit the road. to break the journey, a quick stop at the shopping mall.

i think he is a dangerous man. i don't think he uses his brain before he talks and he just goes straight in with two left feet. you need someone with a bit of a power stamp, who does what they say. and he does that. there may be a bargain or two here but state visits do not come cheap. i think it is a waste of our money. people over here are in greater need than him. i am not looking forward to him coming. the queen has met 12 american presidents but until now only two have been here on official state visits. george w bush and barak 0bama. so for president trump this is a rare opportunity. some 15 minutes later, journey‘s end. the philadelphia village pub. i think he is extremist and has no diplomacy.

he is horrible in the way he speaks. he comes across harsh but i think... i reckon he would be better than what we have. a philadelphia and a washington more than 3000 miles from their famous namesakes. but opinions on president trump can be found almost anywhere. we will have more about the visit of president trump, we know he is arriving at ten minutes to nine and we will have it here as it happens. and louise will speak to showbiz royalty. i have been speaking to dame emma thompson. about climate change, about how hollywood is changing for women and about her new film. it is an interesting chat where i get the feeling... there was a lot of talking. and only 20 minutes? you could have gone for hours. easily. just before we go to

the news we will show you the helicopter shot we have of london this morning, ahead of the visit by president trump and it looks lovely. a beautiful day. there is buckingham palace at the top right and that will be busy today. there are all sorts of state banquets taking place as long as meeting members of the royal family and the queen. we will have the details and the weather with carole. sally is he reflecting on the weekend in sport but first, news from wherever you are watching. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. the capital's all set for the arrival of the us president — donald trump this morning. met police say a number of protests are expected. roads around stjames' park and part of green park will be closed. the visit will be watched closely by the world's media. it is important to remember that is a very important relationship. we have the number

one and number five economies in the world, side—by—side they have fought in a number of wars and generally ascribed to the same liberal internationalist values. now if you feel guilty for having too much coffee — new research suggets drinking up to 25 cups a day is not bad for your heart. the study of more than 8,000 people by scientists at queen mary university of london found that drinking lots of cups was no worse than drinking one. previous studies suggested coffee stiffens arteries, putting pressure on the heart and increasing the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke. a london man's using sign language to make martial arts more accessible to disabled people. jonathan buffong has adapted his training methods so he can teach people who are deaf and blind. thomas paull says it's helped improve self confidence.

let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning the old street roundabout is now a two way traffic system. expect delays on all approaches. there are road closes around westminster and the woolwich ferry is suspended due to industrial action. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello and good morning. following the glorious warm and sunny weekend we are now in for a cool and more unsettled week of weather. we saw a cold front go through last night so we are already in the cooler air this morning. quite breezy once more but there will be decent spells of sunshine and it is a nice bright start to the day. a little more cloud towards the east with a brisk south—westerly wind.

we will keep the sunshine through the morning lasting into the afternoon but there could be a line of showers forming just out towards the north—west and a chance we may catch a couple of those through the day. for most of us it will be dry and top temperatures between 17 and as high as 21 degrees but not the mid to high 20s, feeling much cooler today. late spells of sunshine and then overnight tonight it should stay dry. we will keep the clear skies for a while before it clouds into tomorrow morning. 0vernight lows for the most part staying in the double figures, perhaps single figures in rural areas. sunny skies again tomorrow but an increasing chance of seeing a shower. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin.

here is a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: just before 9:00am, president trump will arrive in the uk for his long—delayed state visit. over the next three days, he will meet the royal family and politicians and take part in commemorations to mark the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings. but not everyone is happy to welcome him. there are protests planned across the uk during the visit. 250 climate change experts and academics have signed a letter to theresa may urging her to confront donald trump over his approach to the issue during his visit this week. in 2017 mr trump pulled out of the paris agreement, which aims to reduce global emissions, and has since described climate change as a chinese hoax. campaigners say they want the president to accept scientific evidence and commit to reducing greenhouse gases in the us to zero by 2050.

we will give you a sense of how london is getting ready for president sharp's visit. this is buckingham palace, you can see at the end of the mall there. he is arriving on his customised high spec aircraft, air force one, at about 8:50am this morning. we understand the security operation surrounding his visit could cost more than £18 million. you might be able to see sta rs million. you might be able to see stars and stripes down the mall towards buckingham palace, it is zooming and, as you can see. there will be a ceremonial welcome at buckingham palace today with the queen and the duchess of cornwall, lunch will take place with the duke of sussex, as well, and prince charles and the duchess of cornwall will have the president for tea and a state ballroom will take place at buckingham palace tonight. trump, the queen, the duke of cambridge in

the queen, the duke of cambridge in the duchess of cornwall will be joined by a number of public figures and prominent americans who currently live here in the uk. we will have more on that little bit later. rescue teams in india have resumed the search for eight climbers, including fourfrom the uk, missing in the himalayas. the group began climbing india's second—highest mountain, nanda devi, almost three weeks ago, but failed to return to base camp. local experts say the chances of finding them are bleak. a caver has died in the yorkshire dales after a 17—hour rescue attempt involving nearly 100 volunteers. the man is said to have broken his leg in a fall deep within a cave at curtain pot, on fountains fell, on saturday. the cave rescue 0rganisation said he died before being brought to the surface. the gunman who opened fire on his coworkers in the us state of virginia on friday, killing 12 people, had resigned from the city's public utilities department that morning. earlier reports described dewayne craddock as a disgruntled employee, but he had not been sacked and had worked for the city for about 15 years.

the authorities are still seeking a motive for the shooting, which has led to renewed calls for tighter laws on gun control. take a look at these incredible images from a cruise ship in venice. this is the msc 0pera, a 900—foot—long vessel which suffered engine failure and collided with a dock and a small tourist boat in the giudecca canal yesterday. four people were injured and officials now say they are considering banning ships of this size from the city's waterways. i told you earlier that nobody was injured, in fact four people were injured. as you watch it approach, you think so many things that could potentially go wrong. itjust can't be stopped, can it? 300 veterans of the d—day landings, which happened 75 years ago this week, are embarking on a special

voyage to france to remember those who lost their lives. they are travelling on a cruise ship which has been chartered by the royal british legion. more than 150,000 troops were involved in the landings, which remain the largest seaborne invasion in history. there would be plenty of coverage throughout the week, that commemoration of d—day, right across the bbc. we have a big programme planned on wednesday when president trump will be in portsmouth, where those commemorations will begin for the 75th anniversary. he melted hearts with his beautiful performance of love changes everything. last night, an 89—year—old war veteran was crowned the winner of britain's got talent. colin thackery won £250,000 and the opportunity to sing at the royal variety performance. mr thackery, who served in the british army for 25 years, said he would die happy if he had the chance to sing for the queen.

in the modern era of television where you announce the winner and they are meant to go bananas, i love they are meant to go bananas, i love the understated ooh, it's me. coming up on the programme: carol will have the weather. she will have the weather for london and everybody else, and sally is here, and you are sort of in recovery like a few other people who have been two games this weekend. liverpool were certainly not understated, the pictures from that city are an almost biblical number of people. 750,000 people lined the streets of liverpool to welcome home their champions league winners, and our sports editor dan roan was there. talk about painting the town red — this what it means to be european champions for a sixth time. an estimated 750,000 liverpool fans lining the street to celebrate the return of their heroes.

spectators scrambling for any vantage point they could find to catch a glimpse of the team that has reinforced the club's status among the true giants of game. that was just absolutely amazing. absolutely amazing. they're all heroes, all of them, it was fantastic. once you're liverpool, you love liverpool. i don't know — fabulous. we waited years for this. let's face it, we wanted the premier league, but this will do. a few hours earlier, the squad had landed home from madrid with that extra—special land luggage — the famous trophy back in liverpool for the first time in 14 years, reward for a night when winning was all that mattered. their all—english final against spurs might not have been a classic, but try telling that to the victors after a famous 2—0 win, these the scenes of celebration. # 0le, ole, ole...

but might this actuallyjust be the start of something very special? we want to win things. they all have the best times in their careers still ahead of them. that's big for me, and for me, i'm really happy. these players and their manager have breathed new life into the legendary special relationship that this club enjoys with the top prize in european football, these remarkable scenes compelling evidence ofjust how much football glory means to this city and to its people. a club and its community united in euphoria, a spectacular season ending with a celebration to match. dan roan, bbc news, liverpool. well, there were so many images from the weekend that will live long in liverpool fans' memories — perhaps few as poignant as this one. it is captainjordan henderson going over to his dad for a big hug. his father, brian, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2013,

and henderson says he barely saw him during his early treatment. it has also been reported that father and son went to a champions league final together when henderson was ten, when his dad told him that one day he would play in one. jordan henderson has had a tricky time, with big boots to fill, and a lot of tension you can see in that moment. that is a great hug. lot of tension you can see in that moment. that is a great hugm lot of tension you can see in that moment. that is a great hug. it is a great parent hug, isn't it? he looked like a proper little boy. they both know what they have been through, and it comes out in the

embrace. johanna konta is having a great french open. she is through to the quarter—finals after beating donna vekic in the last 16. remember, she had never won a match in the main draw at roland—garros before this year. she has now got the chance to become the first british woman in more than 35 years to reach the semi—finals. what next for anthonyjosua, after the first defeat of his professional career? well, his promoter, eddie hearn, says thatjosua may never be the same again after losing his three world heavyweight titles to the unfancied andy ruinr. it is a huge setback forjoshua, who had been eyeing superfights with tyson fury and deontay wilder. i feel like this is just part of a journey that i'm on. this is boxing, and what i have to do is re—evaluate the situation, make it better, and we go again. we didn't come this far to kind of stop. we didn't come this far to fold under pressure. we came this far, and i feel like we can definitely go a lot further. get ready for a brilliant catch from the cricket world cup. no, not from a player, but from a photographer — one handed, as well.

excellent work. bangladesh won the match, beating south africa by 21 runs. 0 nto 0nto the serious business of the cricket. england are back in action today. they play pakistan at trent bridge after beating south africa in their opening match of the tournament. let's say good morning to the former england spinner monty panesar. good morning to you. good morning. that was quite a cat, have you seen that before? i would have wanted to ta ke that before? i would have wanted to take it. better than ben stokes. we keep saying england are so good at the moment. how good are they really? they are obviously miles better than anyone at the moment, they are the number one team, and they are the number one team, and the way they are playing right now, i think that they should get to the group stages. like, on my opinion, i think they should win the world cup quite comfortably. what would it

take, this time, for everything to go right for them? i think the way they are playing right now. they played really well against pakistan, they have that information absolutely spot on, and theyjust know how to sort of win games, chase everything up to 350, they can chase that quite comfortably. anything above that is where it could get a bit challenging for them. for other teams, for them to score 350, they are playing at their best. you can see england are far ahead of any other team, and i think the way they are playing right now and the way the other teams are, it will be difficult to beat england. as a bowler, you must appreciate the impact someone like archer can have, you talk about 350 being a figure that england can get to, they got nowhere near that against south africa, and yet they were able to bowl south africa out. yes, i think because they have that x factor in the bowling department, that extra

pace which really gives them... gives eoin morgan that option of when to bring in the fast bowlers. i think eoin morgan is probably the best spinner, sorry, the best captain. secret spinner. ithink best spinner, sorry, the best captain. secret spinner. i think he is the best captain to captain the spinners in this world cup. he knows how to get the best out of rashid and moeen ali. england look very strong. i know you have written a book and it is out right now, making lots of different headlines for various reasons. you have been very honest in the book about issues you have been through, especially mental health issues. what was going on when things were bad?” health issues. what was going on when things were bad? i think it was an issue when my confidence got slightly low, and i kind of felt that i was putting thoughts in my mind which probably won't good for

me, and suddenly, you know, reality wasn't sort of... my reality was different to the normal people on the team. and that is when the differences start to take place. but now, iam differences start to take place. but now, i am obviously a lot better physically, mentally, back to where i want to be. but these are the issues, you know, iwas i want to be. but these are the issues, you know, i was having. and you've got to just tackle them in your own way. you know, i believe a holistic approach is much better than medication. medication kind of just sugar coats, you know, the problems that there are. you just feel that you don't really care about what is going on. so i tackled it in my own way, and yes, i talked about these issues obviously in my book. and you are still playing. yes, iam book. and you are still playing. yes, i am still playing on a saturday, but i want to make a professional comeback in the game as

well, because i still think i have a lot to offer in terms of my cricket, my spin bowling, i miss that golden period as a spinner. i am hoping i am able to get a county and play professional cricket again. the very, very best of luck with that. thanks very much indeed. monty's new book is called the full monty. i think we're going to a quick look over london. this is the skyline. there are a number of helicopter is flying over the capital of london at the moment but not quite sure who is in them. i imagine it is something to do with the visit of the us president, arriving here at ten minutes to nine. there is a huge security operation as you can probably imagine. it will cost around £80 million in total and a ring of steel around the president. in 2018 when he last came, not an

official state visit, there were 10,000 officers deployed for the trip and nearly every single force in the country surprised that —— supplied staff. he is here for the next three days and will arrive in about an hour. coverage throughout the day on the bbc. it is a beautiful site over london this morning. carole has the weather for us. good morning everyone. a beautiful start to london and a beautiful start to london and a beautiful start to london and a beautiful start in other parts of the uk as well as you can see from this lovely picture taken in norfolk this lovely picture taken in norfolk this morning. yesterday, norfolk had the highest temperature of the year so the highest temperature of the year so far, when the mercury hit 28.8dc. it will not be anything like that today or, in fact, this week. we have bright sunny spells today with showers in the north and west and some of them could be heavy and potentially thundery, particularly across scotland and northern ireland. we also have showers in wales and north—west england with so

overnight rain pushed into near continent. that's courtesy of the cold front and as that suggest, fresh air follows behind. cold front and as that suggest, fresh airfollows behind. low pressure is in charge of the weather, those isobars tell us it will be windy no matter where you are, particularly in western scotla nd are, particularly in western scotland and across the pennines where we are looking at the reaching potentially 50 mile an hour. into the afternoon we will still have the showers and a risk of an odd rumble of thunder. dry skies in the east of scotla nd of thunder. dry skies in the east of scotland and northern ireland but for much of england and wales it is going to be dry and will have sunny spells. showers in the west drifting towards the midlands lincolnshire and western parts of east anglia through the course of the day. 11 in the north, 20 in the south. as we head through the evening and overnight many showers will fade and we will hang onto a few in the north—west and you can see that this next area of low pressure coming in with this front brings in some rain

across south—west england and also wales. temperatures falling to between eight and 12 degrees. tomorrow that band of rain is going to be moving north and also east, moving across the south—west through wales and the midlands, northern england, northern ireland and much of scotland. the south—east looks as if it will be mostly dry with just a couple of showers and for the north—west of scotland in the north—west of scotland in the north—west of scotland in the north—west of northern ireland, potentially drier than today with fewer showers. by the time we reach wednesday here is the low pressure centre with whether rep around it. still bringing rain into scotland and the rain weakening for most as we go through the course of the day. behind it, a lot of dry weather. however there will be showers coming in across wales and south—west england and something we are watching is a weather front in the near continent because it looks like it is coming our way and could bring some rain into office and east anglia. dependent on where that ends up anglia. dependent on where that ends up on wednesday will have a bearing

on thursday once again you could see some rain coming up the east and showers in the west. but there is no heat wave in prospect this week. that is a shame. thank you very much. we will bring you loads of information today about state visit for donald trump. but right now ben... i wonder if he has made it there? amazon moves onto the high street today, with a number of physical shops across the uk. this it says it will give small online retailers a physical presence. ben's popped out of the studio to talk to amazon's uk boss. good morning, ben. good morning to you. i hot for the dirt from the studio to here in central london and this is one of the first, the first of ten pop—up shops that amazonia is launching up and down the country. the point is to allow some sellers who sell on the platform to sell in a physical store. it is a big turnaround. we talk about amazon being an online marketplace but look

around, they are selling all sorts of things here. fragrances, scooters... they see the point is to allow customers to come in touch and try and feel this stuff, to maybe find out about the company ‘s that make the products. there may be an assumption that some of the stuff is made in china and shipped here but what it says is that it wants to support local business by allowing them to have a shop to allow customers come in and try. i've because it is a big turnaround for amazon because many have suggested that amazon could be responsible for the downfall of high street. is that afair the downfall of high street. is that a fair criticism? we have the uk boss of amazon with us. can you explain to us who is here and why you have this shop because you are an online retailer and you opened a shop on a high street in central manchester. why? a lot of what we do on amazonas provide services to small and independent business. more than half of everything you buy on

amazon comes from a small and independent distance. many of those businesses get to us along with professional partners like enterprise nation and they say you know what? i have a great online business but i would love to have a go at high street retail. and that is what this is. it is a first, it is what this is. it is a first, it is not an amazon store. for what you see is not an amazon store. for what you see here is a number of market place sellers, many of them local here in manchester, who will try it out and see manchester, who will try it out and see how it goes. it is a trial, we we re see how it goes. it is a trial, we were tried for a month and see how customers react. what do you expect to hear from this trial? the entire business model that amazon has is an model that makes it easy convenient and cheap to do it online. these things cost. but you so you can make it work on the way that some retailers may be can't? the whole idea is to take some great online business and give them a chance to have a go at a physical retail in an affordable way. for example we have

seen many affordable way. for example we have seen many online businesses such as a record store in scotland who said they are doing so well online we will try and offer a physical store. they do that because online is great and we love it, it is convenient and fast but there are some things you can only do here on high street and thatis can only do here on high street and that is about the experience, about touching, about feeling and discovering new customers. we have heard that again from various as nurses from records to confectionery who now want to open a physical store. we have tried to respond to those questions to ask us to help them do it in an easy and affordable way. when we talk about what customers want and many customers will say that they want to support their local high street and they wa nt to their local high street and they want to go and have a place to pick up want to go and have a place to pick up things. the reality is seen we just don't do it. we prefer to use companies like yours because it is cheaper and easier and much more convenient. how do we breathe life

back into the high street? in my experience customers want what they a lwa ys experience customers want what they always want? and has to products at always want? and has to products at afair always want? and has to products at a fair price and in a convenient way. and if you have turned to that, the what you will find today is that the what you will find today is that the best retailers are doing a little bit of both. it is not a competition between the two. there are some things you can do brilliantly online and other things you can do brilliantly on high street. what we are trying to do is ask ourselves how to take fantastic small online business and help them make their first step into off—line retail. point of the biggest problems for traditional retailers are business rates. 0ne problems for traditional retailers are business rates. one of the biggest issues that they have with you is when it comes to tax. 0n you do not pay the right amount of tax in uk, do you? it is nota do not pay the right amount of tax in uk, do you? it is not a level playing field — my playing field. in uk, do you? it is not a level playing field - my playing field. we pay all the taxes that we are obliged to pay in the uk and in

every country we operate around the world. what you are really asking is are we giving enough back and i think we are. i think we have invested here over £9 billion in the uk and created tens of thousands of jobs and most importantly we have supported hundreds of thousands of small and independent business like the ones you see here today, helping them to become successful notjust in the uk but to export their product around the world.” in the uk but to export their product around the world. i did want to ask about tax because i am looking at some numbers here. amazon paid £4.6 million in tax in the uk. marks & spencer paid 65 million, tesco paid 176 million. you paid just 4.6 and deferred some of it so you ended up paying 1.7. that is not fair, is it? we are giving back and have invested well over £9 billion and created tens of thousands of jobs in the uk. most importantly we provide tools and supports to allow hundreds of thousands of small

businesses grow their business and support customers notjust here in the uk but explore these great products all around the world. great to talk to you. that is the head of amazon here in the uk. this place is now open for a few weeks so different retailers can come and go and have a chance to show some of their products to customers, the physical products. 0ver their products to customers, the physical products. over here they made leather goods made near newcastle. and they are sold all over the world, using amazon to sell to different retailers. more from us a little later. thank you ben. wonderful that you made it all the way there. one of the main stories we're covering today is the state visit of donald trump who was in the area at the moment due arrive at around nine this morning. 0ne place he will go to today is here, buckingham palace where he will have a ceremony attended by the queen,

the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall. there are various meals he is attending today in a state banquet at the end. a business brea kfast banquet at the end. a business breakfast tomorrow with theresa may and then he is meeting various leaders before on wednesday he will be in portsmouth for the commemorations of the 75th anniversary of throughout the day. the security operation surrounding this visit would cost around £18 million and it is a three day official state visit. protests are planned including various different rallies and we understand in london and manchester, belfast birmingham and manchester, belfast birmingham and nottingham. will have more on the visit a little later. buckingham palace looks absolutely beautiful. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. wherever you are watching and we will see you with the main headline shortly. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. the capital's all set for the arrival of the us president — donald trump this morning.

met police say a number of protests are expected. roads around stjames' park and part of green park will be closed. the visit will be watched closely by the world's media. it is important to remember that is a very important relationship. we have the number one and number five economies in the world, side—by—side they have fought in a number of wars and generally ascribed to the same liberal internationalist values. now if you feel guilty for having too much coffee — new research suggets drinking up to 25 cups a day is not bad for your heart. the study of more than 8,000 people by scientists at queen mary university of london found that drinking lots of cups was no worse than drinking one. previous studies suggested coffee stiffens arteries, putting pressure on the heart and increasing the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke. a london man's using sign language to make martial arts more accessible to disabled people.

jonathan buffong has adapted his training methods so he can teach people who are deaf and blind. thomas paull says it's helped improve self confidence. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning there are roads closed for president trump ‘s visit. some for president trump ‘s visit. approaches to parliam are some approaches to parliament square are closed as is the mall and birdcage walk. woolwich ferry is suspended due to industrial action and delays towards the old street roundabout due to a new 2—way system. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini.

hello and good morning. following the glorious warm and sunny weekend we are now in for a cool and more unsettled week of weather. we saw a cold front go through last night so we are already in the cooler air this morning. quite breezy once more but there will be decent spells of sunshine and it is a nice bright start to the day. a little more cloud towards the east with a brisk south—westerly wind. we will keep the sunshine through the morning lasting into the afternoon but there could be a line of showers forming just out towards the north—west and a chance we may catch a couple of those through the day. for most of us it will be dry and top temperatures between 17 and as high as 21 degrees but not the mid to high 20s, feeling much cooler today. late spells of sunshine and then overnight tonight it should stay dry. we will keep the clear skies for a while before it clouds into tomorrow morning. 0vernight lows for the most part staying in the double figures, perhaps single figures in rural areas. sunny skies again tomorrow but an increasing chance of seeing a shower. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom

in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today... in the next couple of hours, president trump's plane lands in the uk for a long awaited state visit that has raised eyebrows even before it's begun. it comes after his controversial comments about the conservative party leadership and brexit — thousands of protestors are expected to demonstrate against his visit.

in the next hour, air force one is expected to land at stansted airport, when the president and first lady will make their way to buckingham palace. rescue teams in india have resumed the search for eight climbers, including fourfrom the uk missing in the himalayas. a heroes' welcome as liverpool parade the champions league trophy in front of three quarters of a million fans. it's a fresher feel to the weather today. it's also noticeably windy and there will be showers in the north and west. drier and brighter in the south and east. more in 15 minutes. it's monday the 3rd ofjune. our top story... just before 9am, president trump will arrive in the uk for his long—delayed state visit. over the next three days, he will meet the royal family and politicians, and take part in commemorations to mark the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings. but not everyone is happy to welcome him — there are protests planned

across the uk during the visit. here's our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. day one of donald trump's state visit, and the focus is on ceremony. the queen will welcome the president to buckingham palace with an extended gun salute, a guard of honour and lunch. there will be a visit to westminster abbey, tea with the prince of wales at clarence house, then a state banquet back at the palace. but even before he's arrived, president trump has been causing headlines by saying britain should pursue a no—deal brexit, it should avoid doing a deal with the chinese telecoms giant huawei, and it should back a trade deal that his ambassador admits could involve the nhs. such is the concern of some that they say the state visit should not even be taking place. tens of thousands are preparing to protest on the streets of london.

i think we've got to send a message on tuesday that people need to stand up to this kind of toxic politics, to this deeply bigoted and reactionary kind of politics that he represents, and if we do stand up, actually, we can start to turn the tables on him and everything that he symbolises. the outgoing prime minister, theresa may, insisted britain's relationship with the us had underpinned its security and prosperity for many years — but it is a relationship that is under pressure. this state visit is supposed to emphasise britain and america's shared values, history and sacrifice, particularly in the second world war. the risk, though, is that it also highlights differences of policy. james landale, bbc news. 0ur washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue is outside buckingham palace. gary, what is on the agenda for the visit? we have seen preparations being made and helicopters landing at stansted airport, where we are expecting the president later. this is a packed programme. it's a very busy

programme. it's a very busy programme. the combination of all the things you would expect with a royal state visit, having dinner and lunch here at the palace, visiting westminster abbey and all those other things, and political meetings tomorrow. and then of course, what is getting overshadowed in many ways by what the president has been saying before he comes here is this big commemoration, the marking of the normandy landings 75 years on and the sacrifices that took place there to end fascism in europe. it's a huge and important itinerary, and a huge and important itinerary, and a chance for these two countries to reaffirm their connection. there is a lwa ys reaffirm their connection. there is always a lot of talk about the special relationship. it means different things to different people, but it does remind us that there is a historic connection between britain and the united states, not just through between britain and the united states, notjust through language, but through history and culture and everything like that. it's an important day for both countries.

gary, thank you. let's keep these live pictures from stansted this morning, where the presidential plane will arrive within the hour. 0ur north america editor, jon sopel, joins us now from our london newsroom. jon, how significant is this visit? there is a lot of pageantry over the next few days. yes, there is. and it comes at an awkward time. the day after donald trump flies back to europe, theresa may stands down as leader of the conservative party. so he will arrive at a time of political turmoil in the uk.” he will arrive at a time of politicalturmoil in the uk. i was talking to officials and saying, are you worried about that? they said, donald trump doesn't care about politics in the uk. he wants the pageantry that goes with the state visit, and that is mostly what he will get. there will be some of the bells and whistles missing. he will not get a joint address to parliament, because the speaker didn't think it was appropriate to invite donald trump to do that. and he will not get the carriage ride up

the mall with a horse—drawn golden carriage because of security concerns. but there will be a lot of pageantry, and concerns. but there will be a lot of pagea ntry, and that concerns. but there will be a lot of pageantry, and that plays very well with an american audience, and that is what trump is coming for, as well as the trump family. it is fitting that our closest ally historically is given a state visit. interestingly, this is only the third state visit of the queen's long reign given to a us president. there will be criticism while he is here as well. 0bviously, there will be criticism while he is here as well. obviously, there will be at ring of steel around him to shield him from some of that, but he of course will know that there will be planned a protest throughout the uk where he is here. it's interesting, isn't it? i have monitored this closely through living on the other side of the pond, living in washington. 0f

course, donald trump is a controversial figure, course, donald trump is a controversialfigure, whichever course, donald trump is a controversial figure, whichever way you cut it. even his greatest admirers would accept that he is a very controversial and divisive figure. that said, there is the difference between president trump and the office of the president. and it seems to me that it is natural that britain should be welcoming someone that britain should be welcoming someone who has been historically our closest ally. there has been very close defence and intelligence cooperation between the us and the uk, and to say, we are not going to welcome him to this country, when we have welcomed people in the past who have welcomed people in the past who have represented countries that macro like president president xi of china, he was given a welcome. there is no freedom of expression in china. there is not the same kind of rights ina china. there is not the same kind of rights in a liberal democracy like we have in the united states and here in the uk. so i think maybe some of it is overblown. but we want to love our american presidents, somehow, and donald trump is for somehow, and donald trump is for some people a hard man to love.

thank you, jon. we have been putting some of those comments about not respecting the man, but the office of the president, mo because some people have been talking about not going to the state banquet tonight because of some of the things donald trump has said. sir vince cable is one of those, and michael howard of the conservatives. we will be speaking to them about this. rescue teams in india have resumed the search for eight climbers — including four britons — missing in the himalayas. the group was climbing india's second highest mountain, nanda devi, when they disappeared. we can speak now to our india correspondent, yogita lamaye, who is in the city of dehradun near the himalayan foothills. what is the latest on this rescue operation? helicopters were meant to fly at daybreak to resume search operations this morning, but because of bad weather in the area where they were meant to fly from, that was delayed. however, they have been

able to take off now and they are trying again to see if they can locate the climbers on the slopes of nanda devi. yesterday, the helicopters were able to airlift the safety four british climbers. they we re safety four british climbers. they were pa rt of safety four british climbers. they were part of the same bigger group, but they were in a separate team in a different part of the mountain. they are safe and unhurt. we have been told they are aiding rescue efforts. the air force has told us... sorry, wejust lost the line there to yogita limaye. she was saying they were meant to take off earlier this morning. we will bring you up—to—date with that later in the day. a caver has died in the yorkshire dales after a 17—hour rescue attempt involving nearly 100 volunteers. the man is said to have broken his leg in a fall deep within a cave at curtain pot, on fountains fell, on saturday. the cave rescue 0rganisation said he died before being brought to the surface.

take a look at these incredible images from a cruise ship in venice. this is the msc 0pera — a 900 foot long vessel — which suffered engine failure and collided with a dock and a small tourist boat in the giudecca canal yesterday. four people were injured and officials now say they are considering banning ships of this size from the city's waterways. as you can see, there is no way of that. thanks for the only four people were injured. you can see why they are making comments about that size of ship in venice. 300 veterans of the d—day landings — which happened 75 years ago this week — are embarking on a special voyage to france to remember those who lost their lives. they are travelling on a cruise ship which has been chartered by the royal british legion. 0ur correspondent, robert hall, has beenjoining them. they were young men when they wrote

their last letters home before boarding ships and landing craft for a cross—channeljourney into the unknown. now, they're returning, honouring the thousands who never came back, and who lie in the cemeteries of normandy. john roberts was aboard one of the naval vessels firing on the beaches. now 95, he says he had to mark this anniversary. this was such a huge event for the history of europe, as well as britain, that i'm glad that it's being reunited or reignited, so that children know what happened. archive: this is it. they're on the beach... 7,000 vessels landed over 130,000 british, canadian and us troops on five d—day beaches. chelsea pensionerjames george has travelled to remember the lost friends from his mortar platoon. bill chapman... he recalls the loss of life on juno beach. the canadians were all laid along

the beach, and very tidy, a long line of them as far as i could see, the dead canadians. they'd been picked up and laid along the beach. it was horrible. this will be the last time many veterans are able to share those memories. aged between 90 and 101, those aboard the boudicca are determined to make the most of it. robert hall, bbc news, in the english channel. now, he melted hearts with his beautiful performance of love changes everything. last night, an 89—year—old war veteran was crowned the winner of britain's got talent. colin thackery! colin thackery won a quarter of a million pounds and the opportunity to sing at the royal variety performance. mr thackery, who served in the british army for 25 years, said he would "die happy" if he had the chance to sing for the queen.

i think he said he would donate some of the money to the royal british legion as well. it was remarkable to see his response to winning. hundreds of thousands of football fans lined the streets of liverpool yesterday, to welcome the city's champions league winners home. players and staff went on an open—top bus parade with the famous trophy, finishing at the waterfront, where supporters celebrated their 2—0 win over spurs in saturday's final in madrid. as if we needed to remind people! this evening, president trump and first lady melania will attend a state banquet hosted by the queen in the ballroom at buckingham palace. several political figures have declined an invitation to attend the dinner, including liberal democrat leader sir vince cable, whojoins us now from outside buckingham palace, alongside former conservative leader, lord michael howard. he is also a liverpool fan. we will speak to you about liverpool winning shortly, mr howard. first of the most important issue of the day, the

state visit of president trump. sir vince cable, if i could put you some of the points that i will correspond injon sopel was of the points that i will correspond in jon sopel was making of the points that i will correspond injon sopel was making a few moments ago, that you might not respect the man, but you respect the office of the president of the united states. took us through your decision not to attend a state banquet tonight? well, it is an honour to be invited to a state banquet. i have done several in the past and i didn't decline lightly. but i don't think we should be rolling out the red carpet for this man. there is no problem about doing business with the american government, but he shouldn't be honoured in any particular way. most american presidents are not. this is somebody who is actively working against british interests in a variety of spheres. just to take one, the world trade system which we depend on as a country, the rules of the world trade organisation in that matter enormously for this government in its brexit strategy. he is doing everything he can to destroy it. so why on earth should

we be cultivating him in this obsequious way? michael howard, are you of the opinion that you can't influence him if you are not in the room, would you be there if you were the tory leader now? of course i would. we have got to deal with the world as it is and not with the world as it is and not with the world as it is and not with the world as we would like it to be. i think vince is wrong when he says most american presidents are not invited to state visits here. most of them are. if you look at the last 50 years, you will only find one who wasn't. and if we can invite president xi of china, then there is no reason why we shouldn't give a warm welcome to the president of our closest ally. i disagree with president trump on all sorts of things, but he is the president of our closest ally. he is coming to europe to commemorate the 75th anniversary of d—day, when young brits and young americans and young canadians gave their lives to set your free. best to set europe that

is right to commemorate and it is right that we should welcome the president of the most important country in the world and our closest ally. sir vince cable, listening to lord michael howard, why would you not want to be in that room? well, i will be going to the d—day celebration was that it is a separate issue. there are quite a few heads of government coming to that event, and rightly so, germany, france, canada and others. it isn't a question of being in the room. if we wa nt a question of being in the room. if we want to talk to president trump, there are plenty of opportunities to do that. the pi minister has done it. we know the real reason the prime minister went to washington shortly after the president was elected. the government was desperate to have a trade deal with america to deal with the brexit problem, and they offered him a state visit to provide a bit of colour to flatter him. but we know from the experience of the french and the japanese and others that

flattery just bounces off and the japanese and others that flatteryjust bounces off him. he continues to do what he wants to do talking to him when attending state banquet has no impact on his behaviour. michael howard, you look like you want to come back in on that. look, we need to do business with countries all over the world, and we want to have close and friendly relationships with countries all over the world. as i have said, this is our closest ally, the most powerful country in the world. president trump wants to have a state visit. we should do what we can to make those relationships work better. you don't make them work better. you don't make them work better by indulging in petty gestures and saying, i'm not going to go to the banquet at buckingham palace. we have got to do what we can to make our relationships as good and friendly as possible, even though we disagree with the president on a host of issues. well, i think there's a difference between

engaging sensible political conversations and involving the royalty a nd conversations and involving the royalty and all the pageantry of a state visit. if we take the issue about allies, of course we have traditionally been very close allies of the united states and that is absolutely right. i am pro—american in that sense. this is somebody who is trying systematically to undermine the nato alliance. he is currently threatening to damage something that has been a powerful feature of that alliance with the exchange of intelligence, in order to pursue his quarrel with the chinese. this is not an ally in the traditional sense. he is doing great damage to the traditional alliance that we have had with america.” have a simple question for vince. do you think we should continue to have a close relationship with the united states, and if you do, do you think that will be helped by indulging in these petty gestures of not attending the state banquet? well, we need to have a relationship with the united states. i don't think it

isa the united states. i don't think it is a special relationship any more. that is completely meaningless. as for being a petty gesture, i think this is a view reflected by a majority of the british population, who accept the fact that we have to be realistic and do business with trump, but do not want him to be honoured with the involvement of the monarchy and the pageantry of a state visit. that is a step too far. but it's ok to honour the president of china and the presidents of all sorts of other countries, with whom we have much more serious disagreements than we have with the united states? there are some very nasty pieces of work who have been invited on state visits and we should be more careful about the people we do invite. gentlemen, there's one more issue related to donald trump as my visit. that is the fact that it is a strange week in british politics. theresa may will be finishing her role as prime minister this week. mr cable, will be finishing her role as prime ministerthis week. mr cable, do will be finishing her role as prime minister this week. mr cable, do you think that will affect the visit? not howard, i will come to you on potential conservative party

candidates. r, theresa may must be squirming with embarrassment that having invited trump on a state visit, largely for political reasons, she now finds that he is trying to choose the next leader of the tory party and telling us that mr farage is the best person to represent our interests in negotiation. i would represent our interests in negotiation. iwould have represent our interests in negotiation. i would have thought that even somebody with his degree of crudity would show a bit more ta ct towards of crudity would show a bit more tact towards his host. which direction should the party move in, mr howard? i am not going to take pa rt mr howard? i am not going to take part in the leadership campaign. incidentally, it is not right, as you said, that theresa may ceased to be prime minister at the end of this week. she ceases to be leader of the conservative party. she is going to be prime minister for quite conservative party. she is going to be prime ministerfor quite a conservative party. she is going to be prime minister for quite a few weeks yet. sorry, thank you for picking up on that. i was going to correct myself. we mentioned at the top about you being a liverpool fan. you must be recovering from the weekend, i imagine? just about. it

was fantastic. i was lucky enough to be there and it was the most amazing occasion. it was wonderful. we have a great team. they played some fantastic football. all credit to spurs, but it was a very wonderful occasion. all credit to the team and tojurgen klopp. occasion. all credit to the team and to jurgen klopp. i think we both agree it was great to have two british teams in the final. lovely to see you are agreeing on something at the end! thank you, mr cable and mr howard. we can see it's a lovely day at buckingham palace. that is the view of the mall. the roads are already closed. it is a beautiful day. i can also see the shock from stansted, where the president is due to arrive in the next 45 minutes.

here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it isa it is a beautiful start to the day. the sun is out, but for others, there is out, but for others, there's a fair bit of cloud around and some of us are also seeing showers. this is a recent weather watcher‘s picture taken in keswick in cumbria. as we go through the day, the showers will continue across the north and west. some of those will be heavy and thundery. you will have drier and brighter conditions after the —— those move east. low pressure is very much in charge of our weather today, so a more unsettled feel in the north and also gusty winds, the most gusty in western scotland and across the pennines. if you're travelling, bear that in mind. there could be 50 mile an hour gusts. but it will blow the showers in scotland from the west to the east, although many eastern areas will stay dry. for england and

wales, a lot of sunshine around today. a few showers this morning in wales and the south—west, drifting towards lincolnshire and east anglia later. yesterday we had the warmest day of the year secretary of state in norfolk, so those temperatures are coming down. we will see clear skies develop in the evening. the wind will start to slowly ease and then we have our next area of low pressure bringing rain across south—west england, wales and into england as well. through tomorrow, this band of rain coming in from the south—west is connected to the area of low pressure. it will continue to push northwards and eastwards. there will be heavy bursts in, but it doesn't look like it is going to get into the south—east. there will still be dry weather in the

south—east, still relatively warm, with just the odd shower. dry across western scotland and parts of western scotland and parts of western northern ireland as well compared with today. on wednesday, he was the centre of the area of low pressure, bringing rain across the northern half of scotland, but again, a lot of dry weather. a few showers elsewhere, but we are keeping an eye on this weather front which looks like it will bring rain towards east anglia and kent through the course of the day. the jury is still out on the timing and placement of that, and where it ends up placement of that, and where it ends up on wednesday will have a bearing on where it ends up on thursday. we think it will move up the eastern side of the country, with showers coming into the west. in between, drier and brighter conditions. thank you, carol. let's go to stansted.

you may have noticed that president trump is due to arrive in the uk. 0ur news correspondent, lorna gordon, is at stansted airport where preparations are underway for the arrival of air force one. yes, a lovely day here at stansted and president trump and air force 0ne are expected to touch down here around nine o'clock this morning, joined by his wife melania and senior members of the us administration. his children are not on that flight. two of them have been spotted out and about around london. ivanka trump was spotted yesterday. tiffany, his other daughter, was spotted last week. so the plane will touch down. it will then taxied to a stop in the area behind me. a few minutes ago we saw a fleet of us military helicopters land here. there were at least three

military helicopters as well as two that act as marine one. one will act asa that act as marine one. one will act as a decoy, one will take the president and his wife into central london. they will land at winfield house, the ambassador‘s residents. they will have a quick break and then go to meet the queen, who will officially welcome him at the start officially welcome him at the start of this three—day state visit. so president trump and his entourage are expected here in the next half hour or so. a considerable operation here setting up ahead of his arrival and considerable media interest as well, waiting for air force one to arrive. we will be back with you in the next half hour. 2018, when he last visited the uk, almost 10,000 officers were deployed for mr trump as my trip. this time around, £80 million has

been spent. there will be protests over the next few days in numerous cities across the uk. let us know what you think about the state visit. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning to you from central london. i'm standing close to winfield house, the residents of the us ambassador. it is here that donald and milani trump will travel once air force one brings them to sta nsted once air force one brings them to stansted airport, once air force one brings them to sta nsted airport, then once air force one brings them to stansted airport, then they will get on board that helicopter, marine 0ne, on board that helicopter, marine one, which will take them to winfield house, and as you can see behind me, some of the security in evidence, part of a vast security

operation in place for this three—day state visit. and that is different compared to when he came to the uk last summer, that was a working visit, this is a state visit with all the pomp and ceremony that entails. what isn't different of course is the controversy surrounding the 45th president of the usa being here on uk soil, with lots of planned protests around this visit. politically, the timing is probably a little strange, i think it's fair to say. this friday theresa may will be standing down as leader of the conservative party and by next month she will no longer be prime minister, but talks between the two leaders will still be going ahead during this visit. and of course the emphasis isn't all about the politics, it is also about the 75th anniversary of d—day and remembering the shared service and sacrifice of the uk and the usa, which is something i think that

transcends any individual personalities in this visit. but let us take a look at donald trump and the first lady milani trump leaving washington last night on board air force one. —— melania tram. you will be well aware of the comments donald trump has made about borisjohnson, nigel farage and the duchess of sussex and has stirred up controversy sussex and has stirred up co ntrove rsy eve n sussex and has stirred up controversy even before he —— before he sets foot on uk soil again. i think we can hear a clip of the president. so, we'll be going to the uk, i think it will be very important, it will be very interesting, there's a lot going on in the uk, and i'm sure it's going to work out very well for them. as you know, they want to do trade with the united states, and i think there's an opportunity for a big trade deal at some point in the near future. and we'll see how that works out. our country is doing incredibly

well, our businesses are doing well. we are going to block up the border, we are going to stop the border, mexico is making hundreds of billions of dollars for many, many years, and they have to do something about the border. everyone is coming through mexico, including drugs, including human trafficking, we are going to stop it, or we are not going to do business, and that's going to be it. and this is a man whose presidency has often been marked by the confront —— controversial rather than the diplomatic. that is very much in evidence as he makes his way here to the uk, due to arrive within the next 15 or 20 minutes. let us get this report from james landale. day one of donald trump's state visit, and the focus is on ceremony. the queen will welcome the president to buckingham palace with an extended gun salute, a guard of honour and lunch. there will be a visit to westminster abbey, tea with the prince of wales at clarence house, then a state
