our north american correspondent, anthony zurcher, who was in des moines, iowa, when his fighting vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. that and had the honour of having night, he made the ultimate one of your tweets retweeted by sacrifice for our country. the president. i imagine that upped your twitter following. sergeant hake now rest in on the way back from iowa. that eternal glory in arlington and would have had an impact. those his wife kelly is in the people are there because they gallery tonight, joined by know they are close to power. their son, who is now a anthony zurcher has been close to power today on his twitter 13—year—old and doing very, very well. to kelly and her feed stop yes, i think you could see the smoke coming out of my telephone this morning son, chris will live in our when donald trump retweeted. hearts forever. he is looking of my telephone this morning when donald trump retweetedm was a video of... what was the down on you now. thank you. tweets ? was a video of... what was the tweets? it was a video at the caucus tweets? it was a video at the caucus ideye was attending last night near des moines, iowa, where is ended in a tie between applause. pete buttigieg and any closer. they had to consult with the state party headquarters and determine the way they broke that i was with a coin toss. so a teenager there with his dad thank you very much. thank you

both very much. the terrorist to observe the caucuses, almost a tourist to see democracy in responsible for killing action, he got called upon as an impartial witness to toss sergeant hake was qasim the coin. it looked like he had soleimani who provided the deadly roadside bomb. soleimani never the coin. it looked like he had never tried tossing a coin before. because it awkwardly and flip it over and it ended up and flip it over and it ended was the uranian regime was made up being heads, which delivered that one last delegate to pete ruthless butcher. he wended buttigieg. i think donald trump thousands of american servicemembers in iraq. as well‘s top terrace, soleimani did that because it looked orchestrated the deaths of awkward. it was democracy being cou ntless orchestrated the deaths of countless men, women and children. he directed the settled by chance. that was pa rt of settled by chance. that was part of his strategy, think, to paint all of this boondoggle december assault and went on to a sold us forces in iraq, was that the democrats were in last night asjust that the democrats were in last actively planning new attacks night as just a combination of and we hit him very hard, and incompetence or fanning the flames of conspiracy in order thatis to help divide the democratic and we hit him very hard, and that is why last month that my party. can i ask you, we should direction, the us military executed a flawless precision talk about the state of the strike that killed soleimani and terminated his evil reign of terror forever. union, there is a lot of applause. our message to the soul—searching in iowa about what went on with this, somebody was asking me today, does the federal government not get involved in how the states

count get involved in how the states cou nt votes ? get involved in how the states count votes? it is extraordinary from a little country like the uk that you don't have a national system for counting the vote. and maybe that's what's gone wrong here. these primary systems, they are run by the parties. terrorists is clear. you will they get assistance from the never escape american justice. if you attack our citizens, you state, but not the federal government. it is very clear forfeit your life. applause. in that the states are involved in these sorts of things, but the caucus system, the rules of the caucus, what to do in an instance of a tie, that is determined by the iowa democratic party, not even the national democratic party, recent months, we have seen which some people have been willing to point fingers at. there was a report where they proud iranians raise their designed this up, they did not voices against their oppressive rulers. the iranian regime must estimates, they did not consult with the department of homeland security to find out whether it was secure enough. . . stop spreading terror, death and destruction, and start security to find out whether it was secure enough... i'm just working for the good of its own going to interrupt you there. people. because of our powerful we have the members of the supreme court filing in, led by sanctions, the iranian economy is doing very, very poorly. we can help them make a very good chiefjusticejohn supreme court filing in, led by chiefjustice john roberts.

there was some question about whether the chiefjustice, and short time recovery. it can there was some question about whether the chief justice, it was also presiding over the president's impeachment trial all go very quickly, but in the senate, would show up. perhaps they are too proud or too foolish to ask for that but he has said he is going to help. we are here. let's see and we saw him walking. it is which road they choose. it is tradition that all the members totally u p of the supreme court come in in which road they choose. it is totally up to them. applause. the robes. including the two people he appointed. it is a very powerful signal to conservatives about why they like this president. by the as we defend american lives, we are working to and america's way, on that point, about each state deciding how it votes, it isa was in the middle east. in state deciding how it votes, it is a line in the constitution that the states should be afghanistan, the determination of ourfighters allowed to vote in the way in afghanistan, the determination of our fighters has allowed us to make tremendous progress and which they wish. so it would be peace talks are now under way very dramatic to suddenly say stop i am not looking to kill the national government... that hundreds of thousands of people the national government... that the debate, isn't it? in a time in afghanistan, many of them when you've got concerns about totally innocent. it is also integrity of the ballot and the russians may be involved or may not be involved, whether you not a function to serve other need a federally protected nations as law enforcement system, a national system that agents. these are war fighters is rigourous or... in such a that we have, the best in the big country as this may be the states would say we are better world, and they either want to

off protecting ourselves and fight to win or not fight at all. we are working to finally the federal government. song as end america's longest war and is contested rigorously. so bring our troops back home. long as it is a primary it works pretty well. there we are. back on capitol hill. all of this that we are talking applause. war places a heavy about in iowa, the backdrop to this extraordinary state of the union. have to say, having covered many of these now, they burden on our nation's extraordinary military have never covered a state of families, especially spouses the union quite like this one. like amy williams, from fort you have to say, with a president facing impeachment, a bragg, north carolina, and her iowa caucus happening the day before they didn't work out of land, a very close election two children, six—year—old eliana and three—year—old campaign it is a pretty strange rowan. amy works full—time and time. and it has become more volu nteers cou ntless partisan. when you think back rowan. amy works full—time and volunteers countless hours helping other military to past presidents, was it was families. for the past seven a partisan element to it, but this was an occasion where the months she has done it all country came together, yet while her husband, sergeant first class towns and williams, tonight there are democrats who are boycotting... one democrat that we know of. there are is on his deployment in the middle east. amy's kids haven't seen their father's face in

seven democrats that are boycotting tonight. idea many months. amy, yourfamily‘s sacrifice makes it possible for remember when barack obama gave all of ourfamilies his state of the union there sacrifice makes it possible for all of our families to live in was somebody who stood up and he was a liar. so was not safety a nd all of our families to live in safety and at peace, and we totally unheard of for the wa nt to safety and at peace, and we want to thank you. thank you, opposing side to be critical of amy. applause. but amy, there the president hu was there. —— president that was there. just caught sight of kamala harris there. some have talked about her being a running mate for joe biden. that won't happen u nless joe biden. that won't happen unless he gets off the ground. he has that firewall in south carolina. people have talked about that today. i wonder if is one more thing. tonight we he has not won one by south have a very special surprise. i carolina will people be asking serious questions about his am thrilled to inform you that campaign? that's what miriam your husband is back from deployment. he is here with us was adjusting. it may be the binning of the end of his tonight, and we couldn't keep him waiting any longer. campaign. is not doing particularly well the polls in new hampshire. so he does have to do well in south carolina and, ideally, in nevada as well. the camera is picking out all of the presidential candidates one by one. just looking at nancy pelosi there,

who, of course, took a very brave decision to impeach the applause. president. she waited and waited until she couldn't wait any longer. it has not worked for the democrats. the turnout in iowa was very low last night. it may have been because there was so much focus on impeachment and not on the caucus in iowa. as it backfired on her? i think that is a tricky one to tell at the moment. you look at the approval ratings of the president and they have certainly ticked off a little bit. she had a very vociferous caucus who felt they had no choice, when i have spoken to presidents who didn't want to impeach the president and after the ukraine call felt they had no choice but to honour the oath they had sworn to protect the constitution, so whether they wanted to or not. and we know nancy pelosi didn't want to. she resisted for a long time the calls to impeach the president. i think we will still have to see what... there

is melania trump coming in. she will be up on the balcony. and on the left you can see jared kushner and tiffany trump as chanting: usa! well on the rights in the, think that is pale grey, we will go with. the first lady taking her seat, alongside some of the people they have invited to be with them tonight, to whom you will hear the welcome home, sergeant williams. thank you very much. president refer during his speech. you and i are going to be here tomorrow talking about as the world bears witness tonight, america is a land of the vote on the impeachment as heroes. this is a place where we look at those pictures. there will be some democrat greatness is born, where destinies are formed, and where senators as well, knowing our legends come to life. this is full well that they are not the home of thomas edison and going to impeach the president, teddy roosevelt, of many great they are going to acquit him, generals, including washington, they are going to acquit him, the likes... just listening to pershing, pattern and the likes... just listening to the applause for the first lady that. there will be some macarthur. —— patton. this is democrats who say maybe we the home of abraham lincoln, don't votes to impeach the

frederick douglass, amelia president tomorrow, is that howard, harriet tubman, the possible? yes, there could be a wright brothers, neil armstrong, and so many more. —— couple. joe manchin s1, doug amelia earhart. this is the jones is another. here are the country where children learn members of the cabinet coming names like wyatt earp and annie in as well. there will be one designated survivor, mike oakley. this is the place where pompeo, very powerful secretary the pilgrims landed at plymouth of state has become particularly powerful over the course of the last year stop and where texas warriors made steve mnuchin there, the treasury secretary, he will be their last stand at the alamo, crucial to the brexit talks with the united kingdom. just their last stand at the alamo, the beautiful, beautiful alamo. behind him. we also see bill the american nation was carved out of the vast frontier by the barr, the attorney general who has been so central in this toughest, strongest, fiercest and most determined men and impeachment story over the last women ever to walk on the face few months. shaking hands of the earth. our ancestors with... national security advisor there. we don't know braved the unknown, tamed the who the designated survivor is. wilderness, settled the wild the designated survivor goes to west, lifted millions from an undisclosed location which poverty, disease and hunger, is widely known to be a facility in virginia about an vanquished tyranny and fascism, hour ago. it was the energy ushered the world to new secretary last time. last year, heights of science and

medicine, laid down the ikard... ithink it railroads, dugout canals, secretary last time. last year, ikard... i think it was last year. i will take raised up the skyscrapers, and ladies and gentlemen, our elaine chow, who is the housing a ncestors ladies and gentlemen, our ancestors built the most secretary... she was the exceptional republic ever to exist in all of human history, longest serving secretary in the whole of the bush and we are making it greater administration. she could be than ever before. applause. transport. betsy device, who is campaigning for the president out in iowa just a couple of days ago,... let's look at these pictures. what do you make, marianne, in boston, of the democrats who decided not to be there tonight? i am seeing around seven of them, one of them is from new york, the congresswoman, should they this is our glorious and magnificent inheritance. we are be there? i personally think americans. we are pioneers. we are the pathfinders. we settled eve ryo ne be there? i personally think everyone should be there. i understand why they are the new world. we built the protesting. arianna pressley modern world, and we changed from massachusetts who i know history forever by embracing very well is not attending

either, so people are using it the eternal truth that everyone is made equal by the hand of asa either, so people are using it as a form of protest. the women dressed in white, the democrat almighty god. applause. america women, there are many ways to protest. i think one of the things that has happened over the last few years is the undercutting of our institutions and the usual behaviour and conduct, and i think attending things like is the place where anything can this is very important and we shouldn't undermine our happen. america is the place democratic institutions in honouring this tradition is one where anyone can rise. and of the very important ones. to here, on this land, on this soil, on this continent, the your point earlier, during barack obama's your point earlier, during ba rack obama's state your point earlier, during barack obama's state of the most incredible dreams come union speech, one republican true. this nation is our member could stand up and call him a liar, and that was canvas, and this country is our shocking at the time. i wonder if we haven't become a little masterpiece. we look at numb to all doubt, but i do tomorrow and see unlimited think it is important to honour our traditions and i hope we frontiers just waiting to be get back to doing more of that and this is one of the most explored. our brightest important ones. when was the last time you can think of that discoveries are not yet known. our most thrilling stories are state of the union addresses we re state of the union addresses were less partisan? it has been

not yet told. our grandest a long time, and it is hard to journeys are not yet made. the think back. maybe george hw american age, the american bush, maybe george bush 9/11. i think that is probably one you would point to, and the whole country came together at the epoch, the american adventure, has only just begun. epoch, the american adventure, has onlyjust begun. our spirit height of his popularity as is still young, the sun is well, but i think after that, still rising, god's grace is it is hard to point to another one worried hasn't been very, still rising, god's grace is still shining, and my fellow very positive. but i think we americans, the best is yet to are at another level of partisanship with donald trump come. thank you, god bless you, in the white house. the and god bless america. thank you very much. applause. relationship we have been talking about tonight between nancy pelosi, the president, the things that he sets out in his speech, they are not really feasible, are they, in 2020? it depends the programme he sets out, whether he is re—elected. we will interrupts you right there. here is the president about to enter the chamber, and donald trump, the president of he will be introduced in a the united states, giving his third annual state of the union second by the sergeant of arms

and then we'll walk in. there address. he said he was going we go. to speak for an hour address. he said he was going to speakfor an hour and 25 minutes. by my clock he spoke for about an hour minutes. by my clock he spoke foraboutan hourand minutes. by my clock he spoke for about an hour and 20, touching of course on a range of subjects from the economy to healthcare to immigration. madam speaker! the president of sounded almost like a campaign the united states! applause. rally, without some of the president's more colourful rhetoric out on the campaign. but it was definitely a pitch, and nancy pelosi, we havejust been told, ripped up the whole speech. and we heard democrats actually walking out during the speech, saying this was lies, applause and so they were leaving in protest. it has been an extraordinarily bitter and partners in state of the union. and that will be one of the ta keaway and that will be one of the takeaway is, won't it, the divide which was really there for all to see on the night, from the very opening snub of the speaker and the hand that she extended to the president, which he refused to shake, to the way that she reacted behind him through the speech, to some of the fact that he set out. at

one point mouthing that is not true. and she has, as we suspect, just ripped up the speech. i am just being told that that is what she did. it is being confirmed she ripped up is being confirmed she ripped up the speech. that really tells you what the democrats thought of it. and those ones who were tweeting during the speech saying that they were leaving because this was lies, and of course there is now a system where what the president or what anyone is saying can get fact checked as it is going along, and people were pointing out quite a lot of the inconsistencies in what the president was saying. but for the democrats to respond in now we have the president this particular way, i think coming infor now we have the president coming in for his third annual you have to set this against the backdrop of two things. the state of the union address. he fa ct the backdrop of two things. the fact that in this chamber, has told reporters that he is seven weeks ago, this president planning to speak for an hour was impeached for abuse of and 25 minutes. we are not sure if that includes breaks for power and obstruction of congress, on both of those applause of which we expect there will be many from the charges, by those members of republican side. generally the house of representatives, the house of representatives, the democrats having the majority, of course, and you speaking is what happens it is also have to set this against a very partisan affair, and the the backdrop of the 2020

republicans will applaud in the election campaign, in which democrats will stay seated. democrats are aware that this quite an interesting isa interchange. he stopped at the democrats are aware that this is a president who is presiding over a very strong economy john robertson engaged in for a whose approval ratings are few seconds, may be a course ticking up. and there is talking about what has been nervousness among democrats going on in the senate and the about their chances of unseating him in november. yes, fa ct going on in the senate and the fact he has been presiding over the impeachment proceedings. the democrats didn't like it, but here he goes up onto the the democrats didn't like it, the republicans lapped it up. some of these republicans, of stage. let's listen again. course, i going to the polls in 2020 themselves. and this was pete —— applause. pa rt 2020 themselves. and this was part state of the union, and pa rt part state of the union, and part campaign speech. he talked about the great economic success , about the great economic success, and there is big applause. economic success. we have talked already about the unemployment figures, which are very low, the growth rate, which is very high. and he talked specifically about a blue—collar boom, which is a term i think that will come to haunt democrats in the months ahead. you are going to hear that a lot, i think, on the applause campaign trail, as donald trump goes up and down the country. lets go to ron christie, former adviser to president george w bush, who has been listening to the state of the union address

with us. ron, we have become used to state of the union address as being very partisan affairs, very political affairs. they have been for a long time now, with a few rare exceptions. but this one tonight did seem particularly bitter and pointed. good evening, it certainly did. and from the opening moments, when the president taking a round of the president was in the house applause before being of representatives chamber, you introduced. the president of saw that he did not shake the the united states. speaker's hand. she in turn did not say it was a privilege and high honour to introduce him to the american congress, the american people. i think what you really saw tonight was an applause. indication of where we are without politics. half the chamber standing without politics. half the chamberstanding up, without politics. half the chamber standing up, wildly cheering, the other half almost sitting in stony silence as the chanting president gave his remarks. and of course, at the very end of it, speaker of the house four more years! four more ripping up the president's remarks, which is as clear an indication as you are going to get of what the state of the years! thank you very much. democrats is with this thank you. thank you very much. republican president, as you

noted, just a few weeks ago having been impeached by the madam speaker... mr vice house of representatives. and the president making a president... members of concerted effort especially in the first quarter of the speech congress... the first lady of to kind of set up tents, if you the united states... like, in the democrats' backyard, by making very open, repeated appeals to minority applause voters, african—america ns repeated appeals to minority voters, african—americans and hispanics. african-americans, hispanics, not only that, katty, if you look at the laundry list of some of his domestic priorities, you would think you are listening to a and my fellow citizens. three democratic president. you are talking about paid family yea rs and my fellow citizens. three years ago, we launched the medical leave, reducing great american comeback. prescription drug prices, we are talking about a litany of tonight i stand before you the issues that the democrats would love to run on, and a christian incredible results. jobs are reference just a few moments ago, the blue—collar americans. booming, incomes are soaring, and then, of course, he gave a poverty is plummeting, crime is lot of bread—and—butter to his base. talking about preserving the second amendment rights to falling, confidence is surging, bear arms and our country is thriving and the second amendment rights to beararms in the the second amendment rights to bear arms in the country. talking very favourably about border patrol, and of course his lovely vaunted wall. sol highly respected again. applause. think the president tried to

get the democrats on their bread—and—butter issues, and also gave a lot of his republican base to cheer about tonight. let's get attacked from the democratic side. a lot of talk america's enemies are on the about healthcare, democratic side. a lot of talk about healthca re, prescription drug prices, the president made run, america's fortunes are on a lot of promises but one the rise and america's future is blazing bright. the years of moment democrats stood up and economic decay are over. started screaming hr3, and what they accuse republicans of applause. the days of our blocking. it started out with a chant of four more years and it sounded more of a rally than a country being used, taken state of the union but it was advantage of and even scorned by other nations are long devoid of reality and out right behind us. lies. he said he would protect applause. social security and medicare.

two weeks ago he said he was gone are the broken promises, going to look at cutting them jobless recoveries, tired to pay for his tax cut which have bankru pted this latitude and constant excuses to pay for his tax cut which have bankrupted this country and added trillions to the for the depletion of american deficit. he said he would protect your healthcare and the wealth, power and prestige. democrats stood up and said you are the one who was trying to for the depletion of american wealth, powerand prestige. in just three short years, we have ta ke are the one who was trying to take it away from us. you are shattered the mentality of in court trying to abandon obamacare, getting rid of american decline and we have pre—existing conditions so time rejected the downsizing of and time again donald trump that i hate to use of this word americans destiny. we have totally rejected the that i hate to use of this word that lied and lied and lied and downsizing. we are moving the fact checkers must still be forward at a pace that was working. everything he said in unimaginablejust the speech has nothing to do forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago and we are never ever going with the truth and that is what back. people like nancy pelosi found applause. so disturbing when she ripped up so disturbing when she ripped up the speech. ron talks about the appeals donald trump eight to african—americans tonight, thatis to african—americans tonight, that is not about getting african—american vote but to make white suburban voters, the only voters left up to grab, iam i am thrilled to report to you

challenge that president trump and nancy pelosi and many other leaders in congress will face. 0k, leaders in congress will face. ok, ron christie, thank you very much. that is the question after tonight. it was a very divisive state of the union. it isa divisive state of the union. it is a very divided country, a very divided congress, which is where we are standing right now. how does it get better? thank you very much forjoining us for coverage. let him more to come on bbc news about the state of the union. but from us, thank you for watching. hello. from start to finish, this week almost couldn't be more different. high pressure means a lot of settled weather currently, but it is very much the calm before storm when light winds, dry conditions and sunshine, end of the week and that picture will change dramatically. here we are today with high pressure across the uk, barely a breath of breeze for most of us. the highjust picking off a little bit more moisture on its western flank, though,

thanks to the breeze coming in off the atlantic. that gets fed into the northern half of the uk and that moisture will take the form of cloud through the day today basically. sunshine, perhaps hazy and a little overcast at times, even for northern ireland, parts of scotland. a few showers possible for the far north and west of scotland. could be some early fog across eastern wales through into the midlands, but that should lift through the day. our highs somewhere around the 6 to 8 degree mark. overnight wednesday and into thursday, the high stays with us, the wind stays light, perhaps the cloud drifting a little further south across the uk. a shade milder, actually, towards the north—west with that feed off the atlantic, the core of our frost likely across wales into the midlands. but again, patchy frost possible just about anywhere as our temperatures, particularly in rural areas, can dip down below freezing. the high still firmly with us on thursday, just drifting a little further eastwards. a chilly start, but a fine day in prospect. perhaps as the high drifts eastwards, the breeze in the west can pick up a little more and break up the cloud for northern ireland

and western scotland through the day. a lot of fine weather, though. bright, if not sunny spells, and our temperatures very similar to today, perhaps even a degree or so down in one or two spots, particularly if we get some lingering fog. but we're looking at the 6, 7—degree mark. thursday into friday, again, it's just a slow shift for our high eastwards, but fronts do start to come into our picture later on in the day on friday. and notice the isobars start to squeeze together too, the change is beginning. the wind will start to strengthen through friday afternoon to the west of the uk, maybe even gales around irish sea coasts and for the western isles, then some showers arrive before close of play. some milder air trying to come in too, though, as the south—westerly wind kicks in, but my goodness, is it set to kick in. basically for the end of the week, the jet stream feeding across the atlantic, which feeds us our weather system, starts to align itself like a motorway driving systems straight across the atlantic towards the uk and this is what that looks like on our the pressure chart. here's the uk. notice how many isobars,

that high is long gone, and potentially some deep low centres towards the north—west. it could get stormy.

this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk, on pbs in america or around the globe. i'm rich preston. our top stories: donald trump gives his state of the union address, taking credit for what he calls the great american comeback. i say to the people of our

great country, and to the members of congress, the state of our union is stronger than ever before. this was the immediate response from speaker nancy pelosi — tearing up a speech democrats say was full of lies. we cannot forget that, despite the dishonesty and division of the dishonesty and division of the last few years, and that we heard tonight from the president of
