have been talking about, we then we have been talking about, we had plans for something at christmas and we were trying to do that people really just are alive to the fact that we are still around and we can get our supporters, really, that we are still around and we can get oursupporters, really, back that we are still around and we can get our supporters, really, back and oui’ get our supporters, really, back and our audiences back as soon as we can but we have a seasonal calendar, as you can imagine, because our main theatre is open—air, and so we look to start, in earnest, in april. that's when the open air theatre starts, because, obviously, for reasons of whether, and we want to come back with all guns blazing then. maggert casey heyford from shakespeare's globe. then. maggert casey heyford from sha kespeare's globe. that's then. maggert casey heyford from shakespeare's globe. that's catch up with all the weather news now.

the winds are easing a bit compared with the daytime today, staying quite blustery. temperatures generally between four and 10 degrees. for tomorrow, a blustery day, a mix of sunny spells and heavy showers. showers most plentiful gci’oss showers. showers most plentiful across western areas, so through western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, wales and the south—west, some will blow in the english channel, further north and east, north—east england in eastern scotla nd east, north—east england in eastern scotland may well avoid most of the showers and stay predominantly dry with some sunny spells. call with top temperatures between ten and 1a degrees.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. south yorkshire is the latest region to move to england's top level of restrictions. local leaders in sheffield call for an exit plan. the question is, at what point will come out of tier 3? no one's able to answer that question. even the mayor is asking that question and, well, the mayor should have asked that question when he was negotiating with the government for the last ten days. police in gloucestershire begin border patrols to stop nonessential travel as wales begins its first full day of a ‘firebreak‘ lockdown. president trump casts his vote for the us election in the key state

of florida, where early voting is under way. marcus rashford says he is proud of the community response to his campaign to feed disadvantaged children in england during the school holidays. shakespeare's globe, newcastle theatre royal and birmingham hippodrome are among the latest venues to receive emergency cash from the government's one and a half billion pound culture recovery fund. now on bbc news, his election to the presidency, decided by fewer than 80,000 votes, was the biggest political upset of a generation. four years on, donald trump's impact has been seismic. i, donald john trump. do solemnly swear. that i will faithfully execute. the office of president

of the united states. within the first 2a hours of taking the solemn oath of office, it became clear that donald trump would change the presidency more than the presidency would change him. there was a dystopian language at his inaugural address. this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. there was the argument about the size of the inaugural crowd. this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration period. both in person and around the globe. the press secretary gave alternative facts to that. alternative facts are not facts. they are falsehoods. the president and first lady of the united states will take their first dance. there was the music at his inaugural ball. frank sinatra's my way. and his decision to keep using twitter.

should i keep the twitter going or not? keep it going? cheering i think so. then, there was the appearance before the memorial wall at cia headquarters, where he tore into the press. the start of what came to be a running battle. the reason you are my first stop is that, as you know, i have a running war with the media. they are among the most dishonest human beings alive. donald trump was written off as a joke when he first announced his candidacy for the white house. now, he has become america's 45th president. they will be talking about this moment for centuries to come. this america first president would be an american first. chanting: hey, hey. ho, ho donald trump, it's time to go. the first mass protest at the trump era took place less than 2a

hours after his swearing, a blossoming of the trump resistance. the women's march provided an early indication of the passions the presidency would arouse and the divisions it would expose. he gives me hope for ourfuture. it gives me hope for our future. it was a really dark day when the election results came in. it's not that we hate trump, we hate what he stands for. bigotry and racism, we aren't going to stand for that. say it loud, say it clear. refugees are welcome here. donald trump's attempts to impose a travel ban on a list of mainly muslim countries, including iran and syria once again brought protesters out onto the streets. a policy that the trump administration claimed would defend america was seen by opponents as an attack on american values. build a wall! donald trump's efforts to build

a wall along the mexican border, a totem of his presidency. it exposed more fault lines in american society. he campaigned on it. he won on it. what's the big deal? why is everybody surprised? we need it, we need it now. go back to your homes. he is a crisis. crisis to our country and our democracy. he thinks he thinks he is a king. race exposed another rift. when torch carrying neo—nazis paraded in charlottesville virginia, it took the president 48 hours to specifically condemn these white supremacists. when a counter protester was killed after a racist deliberately rammed his car into the crowd, the president claimed there was a moral equivalence between white supremacists and the demonstrators who oppose them. i was present in trump tower for what became one of the most extraordinary press conferences

i have witnessed. i do think there is blame, yes, i think there is blame on both sides. you look at both sides, i think there is blame on both sides and i have no doubt about it and you don't have any doubt about it either. but trump was beloved by his base. i love you and you love me. those who practice stadium rallies, a dramatic new departure for a us president. those who had sent to washington precisely because they wanted him to be unconventional. we will be talking about this for a long time. all the time, he was amassing a significant record of conservative accomplishments. he passed a big tax cut. he renegotiated a trade agreement with canada and mexico. the workers who poured their souls into building this great nation were betrayed. but that betrayal is now over. i will never forget that to whom much is given, much will be expected.

he managed to get three right—wing supreme court justices onto the bench. and to appoint hundreds of conservative judges. promise made, promise kept, was a trump post that rang true. so, we are getting out. taking america out of the paris climate change agreement was another campaign pledge that he made real. and another crowd pleaser for his base. but his own luxury property at mar—a—lago risks being inundated by the rising waters. further down the florida coast, miami is at risk of becoming a modern day atlantis. miami beach is going to disappear, but don't tell that all these people building all these new houses and apartments. they don't want to hear it. they are in total denial. a local environmentalist gave us a waterborne tour. 0ur so called president thinks it's a hoax, a chinese hoax.

i can't believe it. i live right in the middle of climate change every day. we are so affected here. how dare the leader of this great country say that it doesn't exist? it's impossible, he can't be thinking this way. the people around him can't be thinking this way. but returning to the all important rust belt, people who had supported him reported an uptick in economic activity. partly because there were a lot more coal barges on the ohio river. this billionaire in the white house remained a working—class hero the post—industrial landscape that had provided a seedbed for his candidacy. tug boat owner bob harrison was happy to have a businessman in the white house. it was like a switch was turned on. we were busy. we have more stuff going on, our business has dramatically picked up. and you think that is the trump effect?

yes. i talk to different people, we call it the trump bump. it's been good for us. in the bible belt as well, evangelicals who had overwhelmingly supported his candidacy seem to have little problem with his highly unorthodox behaviour. they saw in donald trump a fellow victim of liberal sneering. of elite condescension. we like somebody who says what's on their mind, speak whatever it is you want to say and say it is plain—spoken as you can. i don't agree with some of the words he uses, but he is doing more than any other president has done in the past. do you think is one of the truly great presidents? i really do. we happen to be at mount rushmore on the day the president suggested his profile should be chiselled into the rock. there, we encountered a number of trump supporters now experiencing by as remorse.

he was the right guy at the time to shake things up and move things forward, but he is causing too much chaos and not bringing in order to the government. i think his ego is getting in a way so i'm hoping he's going to take a step back. i don't think he has been as presidential as i had, as i would want. never have we witnessed a us leader who so flagrantly flouted the normal rules of presidential behaviour. hey, i'm president! can you believe it? i never thought i would be called a politician, i don't like it, but it is what it is. though it is twitter trump that has inevitably generated many of the headlines, it was the televisual possibilities of the presidency that seems to animate donald trump the most.

not long after taking office, he instructed aids to treat every day as if it were an episode of a tv show in which he vanquished the opponents of his presidency. television cameras often became flies on the wall, the style he actively encouraged. here, the cameras were invited to linger at a cabinet meeting, where officials delivered a hymn of praise. it's a privilege to serve. i can't thank you enough for the privilege you have given me. i want to thank you for getting this country moving. i am thrilled to have a chance to help you live up to your campaign promises. mr president, thank you for the opportunity and the blessing you have given us to serve your agenda. to some, the footage resembled state television, a pyongyang on the potomac moment. this is a battle between good and evil. foreign policy regularly took the form of made for television show diplomacy.

on his first international visit, a stop in saudi arabia, he happily participated in a bizarre ceremony. it looks like a cross between a mystical ritual and the draw to decide on the group table is ahead of the fifa world cup. his summitry with north korea was intricately choreographed for the cameras, but failed to denuclearisation korean peninsula. some of the more cinematic moments of his presidency, such as when he met the plane carrying three american prisoners released by pyongyang, were packaged into what looked like movie trailers. it was the commander in chief as action hero. even when events went com pletely hero. even when events went completely off the rails, such as when can yea west made a visit to the oval office. i'm political.

however you want to do it, five second delay, it is good energy. he didn't seem to mind, as long as they produced good television. he can speakfor produced good television. he can speak for me anytime he wants. he produced good television. he can speakfor me anytime he wants. he is a smart cookie. donald trump also had a grand either the ground spectacular. this is pageant at the lincoln memorial onjuly spectacular. this is pageant at the lincoln memorial on july the spectacular. this is pageant at the lincoln memorial onjuly the lith 2019. america's birthday turned into a personal celebration. make america great again as a military tattoo. some of the images that clung to his presidency were politically problematic. the wire mesh cages in the detention centre on the southern border where children were separated from theirfamilies.

it's unacceptable. it is evil, it's an embarrassment to the united states. this is a moral catastrophe. this was the footage of him casually tossing toilet rolls to survivors of hurricane maria in porto rico, as if shooting basketball hoops. another memorable image of the sight of him barging his way to the front of the family photo at nato headquarters in brussels. the president's controversial words sometimes came back to haunt him. the time at this rally in florida when he seems to encourage supporters to take matters into their own hands. after asking how to stop unauthorised migrants from coming over the borderfrom mexico. but how do you stop these people? you can't. that's only in

the panhandle you can get away with this. months later, one of his supporters mounted a deadly attack in el paso, targeting mexican immigrants in one of america's deadliest mass shootings. 23 people we re deadliest mass shootings. 23 people were killed. a number of the investigations over the past few years are racially motivated and within that category, the majority are white supremacist extremists. then, the racist language he used against four congress women of colour, telling them to come back where he came from. even though three of them were born in the united states. there is no bottom to the barrel of vitriol that will be used and weaponised to stifle those who want to advance rights for all people in the united states. what did you think when you heard a tweet? this was a distraction. this

isa tweet? this was a distraction. this is a person who wants to vilify and demonise immigrants and communities of colour. is this race row flared he took aim at them again at a stadium rally in north carolina. tonight i have a suggestion for the hate filled extremists who are co nsta ntly hate filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear out our country down, they never have anything good to say. that's why they say, hey, if they don't like it, let them leave. the chance of send her back. some republicans felt he had gone too far. i was on the national mall that night, filming the commemorations to mark the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. left off, we have left. but the very moment the country were celebrating a unifying national mission, detached from earthly politics, the president was actively sowing the seeds of american disunion. all the time they had been a cloud hanging

over his presidency, an investigation led by the former fbi director robert muller, into whether the trump campaign had colluded with the trump campaign had colluded with the kremlin ahead of the 2016 election. it resulted in a spate of prosecutions. traitor! donald trump put former campaign manager was found guilty of multiple charges including conspiracy against the united states. of his long—time little adviser roger stone, who was convicted of witness tampering and lying to congress. when he delivered his long—awaited report, mueller found that russian involvement had been sweeping and systematic. it's a witchhunt. fake news and the russian witchhunt. fake news and the russian witchhunt. but it did not find

sufficient evidence that the campaign coordinated and conspired with the russian government. the white house claimed victory, but robert mueller made it clear this wasn't an exoneration. if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. we did not, however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. undera long—standing department policy, the president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. when evidence emerged of a quid pro quo between donald trump and the president of ukraine, linking us military aid to political dirt on the family ofjoe biden, the democrats decided to punish him. in the 2018 congressional midterms, they had won back the house of representatives and used their majority to impeach the president. sadly but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to our

founders and heart full of love for america. today, iam founders and heart full of love for america. today, i am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment. only the third time it has happened in us history. breaking news... there was a trial of the senate where the republicans used their majority to block the calling of witnesses and to deliver a not guilty verdict. it is therefore order and judged that the said donald john trump be and is hereby acquitted of the charges inside articles. it felt like the republican party was more like the trump party. the party line votes spoke of the polarisation of america and the toxicity of washington. it came to the toxic for when on the eve of his acquittal, trump delivered his state of the union address. beforehand, he refused to shake the hand of the democratic house speaker, nancy pelosi.

afterwards, she ripped up his speech. it was hard to remember a president who walks away from more political car crashes and his approval rating reached its highest level, 49%. he could also point to some foreign policy successes. the threat from the group calling itself isis was greatly diminished. he kept his campaign promise of moving the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. us forces killed the iranian military general, iran's second most powerful figure. iranian military general, iran's second most powerfulfigure. donald trump had a strong economy and the power of incumbency. two factors that usually win a president for more years. i am officially declaring a national emergency. but afar declaring a national emergency. but a far bigger crisis was about to engulf his presidency. the

coronavirus confronted america with the biggest public health emergency of the past hundred years. it exposed so many of the country's underlying conditions. its income and racial equality is, the inadequacies of its health system. the rundown of its government and its sickly politics. —— racial inequality. the polarisation that even made mask wearing a political issue. i can't hear you. if you want to be politically correct, go ahead. when the country needed to come together, donald trump remained a deeply divisive figure. sometimes, he was accused of being a super spread of misinformation. it looks like by april, in theory, when it gets a little water, it miraculously goes away. i hope that's true. now we have tested almost a0 million people. by so doing, we show cases. 99% of which are totally harmless. i

think we are rounding the turn very much, you see what is happening in europe, they have a very big spike. the health crisis sparked the worst economic crisis since the great depression. there was a body, spare mea dime depression. there was a body, spare me a dime feel to aspects of american life. even in the affluent suburbs, we saw scenes of middle—class distress. cars queueing for hours to get hand—outs. vehicles including mercedes and high—end suv's the problem is that people have gone without four, five or six or seven paycheques. gas, other stuff. you have a beautiful car, did you ever imagine that you would be lining up the food? no, never. so you are not making any money at the moment? no. we need the food. then, in the midst of the pandemic, a video went viral. it showed a black

man, george floyd, being suffocated by white police officers. across america, fury broke out. and during the black lives matter summer that followed, we witness the most widespread racial turbulence since the late 1960s. widespread racial turbulence since the late1960s. donald trump's main response was to crackdown on protesters and present himself as a law and order president. and i reckon it seems to be unravelling. -- matt reckon it seems to be unravelling. —— matt america seems to be unravelling. he faced the destructive harvest. he then faced a personal crisis. he himself had become infected with covid—19, facing difficulties breathing, he decided to leave the white house and be taken to hospital. as is condition improved, he eyed the televisual possibilities of the

moment. he summoned the presidential motorcade and drove past its supporters maintaining a vigil outside the hospital. but this was merely a curtain raiser. donald trump had a more dramatic finale in mind. a homecoming that provided perhaps the defining images of his presidency. to his fans, it looks like the happy ending of a movie. to his critics, it looked like a scene from a comic opera. national saviour, or national joke? from a comic opera. national saviour, or nationaljoke? a polarising american president. for these polarised american times. hello, there. good evening.

it's that night of the year when the clocks go back an hour, marking the end of british summer time, but, as far as the weather goes, well, summer feels like it's a long way behind us. a very autumnal satellite picture — you can see this big swirl of cloud. it's been bringing some outbreaks of really heavy rain eastwards through today, plenty of showers following on behind, brisk winds as well. so, as we had through tonight, still some rain to clear eastwards across central and eastern parts of england, some of that clipping into southern scotland for a time, and then we see clear spells following on, but plenty of showers rattling in from the west blowing in on a brisk wind. it is going to be quite a cool night as well, temperatures across some parts of scotland getting down to 1 or 2 degrees, more widely between a and 10 degrees, but for tomorrow it is looking like an autumnal day. yes, there'll be some spells of sunshine, but some brisk winds and some blustery showers. now, the showers will focus in across western areas, so through northern ireland, western scotland, lots of north—west england, wales and the south—west,

we also see some blowing in from the english channel coast. the further east you are, not as many showers, parts of north—east england, eastern scotland may well stay largely dry with some spells of sunshine. windy for all — those are the average wind speeds, gusts will be higher than that. we could see gusts of around 50 mph for exposed spots in western scotland, and a fairly cool feel as well, top temperatures between 10 and 1a degrees. as we head through sunday night, further showers rattling in from the west, could see a slightly more prolonged spell of rain for a time across western scotland, and then, as we get into monday, well, it stays very unsettled. but i think the focus of the showers will shift a little bit further southwards, particularly across england and wales, northern ireland seeing some as well, but scotland should start to dry out a little bit from the north with some spells of sunshine. stays very cool, though, at 11 to 1a degrees. now, the area of low pressure that's been with us through the weekend, that clears away but things don't really settle down. there's a big low that's going to sit the north—west of the uk. that will drive showers or longer

spells towards the end of the week, and perhaps a more widespread wet weather towards the end of the week. so, certainly an unsettled outlook with some outbreaks of rain at times, but hopefully there will also be some spells of sunshine.

this is bbc news. the headlines at six... south yorkshire is the latest region to move to england's top level of restrictions. local leaders in sheffield call for an exit plan. the question is, at what point will come out of tier 3? no one's able to answer that question. even the mayor is asking that question and, well, the mayor should have asked that question when he was negotiating with the government for the last ten days. police in gloucestershire begin border patrols to stop nonessential travel as wales begins its first full day of a ‘firebreak‘ lockdown. marcus rashford says he is proud of the community response to his campaign to feed disadvantaged children in england during the school holidays. i voted for a guy called trump.
