and tells the prime minister that a great trade agreement is on the cards. >> i think there is a very good chance that in the case of these two great, friendly countries, i think we could very well end up with a real trade deal where the tariffs wouldn't be necessary. tariffs wouldn�*t be necessary. >> well, the president also said he'd support britain in their ukraine peacekeeping mission as he batted away comments over calling zelenskyy a dictator. >> i still think that mr zelenskyy is better. >> did i say that? i can't believe i said that. next question.

>> a letter from his majesty the king. it's an invitation for a second state visit. >> in that historic move, sir keir starmer presents trump with an invitation from king charles. >> but the meeting didn't come without a hiccup. as vice president vance and the prime minister clashed over free speech. >> there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the british. of course, what the british do in their own country is up to them. >> but we've had free speech for >> but we�*ve had free speech for a very, very long time in the united kingdom. >> is reform uk election ready? well, a shock new opinion poll says the party would win both the most seats and the most votes if there were a general election tomorrow. >> well, this comes as the party unveiled former professional boxer and olympic gold medallist luke campbell as their candidate for the first hull and east

trying to go out with you, darling. >> well, that's. yeah. that's good. no, ijust think it sounds a bit gentler to say past. i don�*t like it when people eat don't like it when people eat with their, you know, chew with their mouth open. >> i think that's genetic sometimes, you know. yeah, i do, i. >> do think there's no excuse for alien. >> yeah. no, there's no. >> yeah. no, there's no. >> excuse for through the nose. >> excuse for through the nose. >> you've been on more dates than most people in the country. >> yeah. yeah, possibly. >> yeah. yeah, possibly. >> so what gives you the ick? >> so what gives you the ick? >> bad perfume. >> bad perfume. >> oh. >> oh. >> really bad perfume. yeah. you know, you can't. you might think, okay, first date. she will. okay. she's a bad choice. but presumably she's got maybe like me, a range. oh right. so maybe we're a different percent the second time round. but when you smell it again, it's time to go. it's time to get back on the app. >> i see what kind of what kind of fragrance do we are you looking for? >> i'm looking for light, airy, floral fragrance. >> not udi and musky. >> not udi and musky. >> something that just, >> not udi and musky. >> something thatjust, i don't >> something that just, i don't know, i don't want. probably too know, i don�*t want. probably too early in the morning to say, but something that just entices early in the morning to say, but something thatjust entices me somewhere. >> okay. wow, thank you for that. okay. >> i think, but some of it's

weird. hannah in this piece says she she was given the ick because she went on a date and he wore beige chinos. >> chris hoy beige. like, i have a favourite driver this week. and she left. >> there's nothing wrong with beige pair of chinos. >> two pairs. but it's ryan who's a journalist, apparently who�*s a journalist, apparently said he went on a date and she called me babe a7 times in one dinner, i fainted. >> it was one. >> it was one. >> babe, right? babe? >> babe, right? babe? >> oh, no. >> oh, no. >> are you doing that? >> are you doing that? >> we�*re on a date in essex >> we're on a date in essex anyway. so

.to . to reach a peace that is tough and fair. >> but the most torrid.

>> but the most torrid. >> competition for a state visit. >> there were, however, a few hitches. >> alan milburn zelenskyy is a dictator. >> did i say that? i can't believe i said that. next question. >> meanwhile, a clash over free speech erupted in vice president jd speech erupted in vice president jd vance and sir keir starmer. >> there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the british or the british are doing their own countries under them, but also affect american technology companies and by extension, american citizens. so this we'll talk about today a. >> very, very long time. >> very, very long time. >> and i think we�*re going to >> and i think we're going to end up with a great trade deal with you. and it's an honour to be with you. and i want to thank everybody very much. thank you very much. >> well, this is a christopher hope says his take on the talks.

>> sir keir starmer arrived back in the uk this morning satisfied with a successful trip to washington. it started with some uncertainty with his team and he limiting what they said to avoid saying anything which should offend the notoriously thin skinned donald trump. but the offer of a second state visit to the uk for the us leader was almost certainly oiled. the wheels between the uk and the us, and it's got better on us, and it�*s got better on thursday night, with the us president offering a trade deal pretty quickly with the uk, and that could offset the threat of tariffs, with 25% tariffs set to be imposed on eu car makers. but the big question remains over ukraine and the peace in ukraine. i now must turn to the visit here, to washington, to the white house of president zelenskyy today, friday morning. then he should be signing a minerals deal. but what else will be agreed? donald trump, he tells us he wants to try and return some land under russian control to ukraine. but will

that happen? and then the weekend 18 countries visiting london this weekend for a major visit, trying to work out and agree this peace deal with russia? it seems slowly but russia? it seems, slowly but surely, the bloodshed of the three year war in ukraine is ending. but on what terms. >> now did you know that president trump had a real shining to christopher hope yesterday? yeah. and he said, you look like a lovely face. i asked a very difficult question, but you've got a very lovely but you've got a vew lovely smiley face. yes. >> well, there you go. >> well, there you go. >> a special moment there between gb news and president trump in the oval office. anyway, that's the thoughts of political editor at the spectator. katy balls joins us now in the studio. good to see you, katy. it seems that this meeting between starmer and trump was a success. yes. and i think in a way it's perhaps the most positive front page, as keir starmer has had for a long time, maybe since the election, just in the sense that i think we all knew and it was pretty well covered some of the potential pitfalls and problems

when it comes to the labour government and donald trump. and there have been things that have not been plain sailing. if you think about the labour staffers volunteering to campaign for the democrats during the election, you had a practicising, peter mandelson, when he was appointed as us ambassador. so these things have existed. yet on this trip, you saw the love bombing of keir starmer and christopher hope, of course, by the us president. and it also went further than just niceties. there was also some substance that would be very encouraging to number 10, which isn't just to number 10, which isn'tjust the rhetoric of a potential trade deal and tariffs. i think the chagos islands issue is actually one of the most surprising and interesting things to come out of it, which is you've had nigel farage saying the republicans will not go along with this deal about ceding go along with
