keir's analysis right in many ways, but essentially trump is a historical. he does not read, not interested in history. when he goes to an event like this, he sees it about being about him. he does not see it about history. tom is optimistic about the idea that, but he has certain priorities tied to his re-election and tied to the support of his base and those are the things that ultimately he thinks about. for instance, he would visit the parkland survivors, parkland massacre in the united states and come away and say think about doing something about guns. but that very far right wing point of view on gun control. and he did that with climate change when he dealt with macron, with iran, and so on. he'll do exactly the same thing with britain, i'm afraid. >> to keir's point, there is a contrast when it comes to this president that he both likes the idea of tearing down some that exists and talked about publicly and privately enjoying moments like this of significant importance on the world stage. the president has talked about his mother watching the queen'

i want to bring keir simmons back. keir, what are they looking at there?eporter: hey, stephanie, i'm looking at these pictures, just as you are. the queen and the president walked into the room just a moment ago. these are artifacts from the royal collection. we are yet to be told exactly which items they are. but i suspect that what you'll see are gifts that will have been given to the royal family in the past by previous american leaders. and perhaps items from royal trips to the united states. there you can see the president and the first lady with the queen. and with prince charles and the duchess of cornwall, just making their way through this very ornate room. where every -- it looks like some of these items are of written items. so, you can imagine, perhaps there will be messages from previous presidents, perhaps signatures. and the president seems, well, very interested. the queen in particular is clearly taken with it all. this is the kind of thing that she just loves. this history. this opportunity to demonstrate the extraordinary connection betw

let's go the keir simmons.s just outside buckingham palace, keir, you're a local, how is this visit being received? >> savannah, there were cheers outside buckingham palace here as marines one swooped down behind buckingham palace. the royal standard flying over buckingham palace that the queen is in residence. an entourage of the royal family that will meet the president. these state visits are about the royal family. this is a diplomatic dance that will be done in the coming days. first, though, we're waiting for the president to inspect the guards, who are at the back of buckingham palace there. some changes to this state visit. normally that inspection would take place at the front of the palace, it's happening at the bah back because perhaps of security reasons. no american president has done that gnd again perhaps for security reasons. president obama were afforded a state visit like this. they didn't chose to ride through the mile in that way. of course, president trump won't be staying here at buckingha

but sir keir wasn't happy with stephen barclay's responses.r, i thought was a bit of notice we make it a better answer than that. the answer to the three questions are no, it's not possible to guarantee no tariffs under a no—deal brexit, no, technological solutions are not currently available in relation to the border in northern ireland and the uk cannot cherry pick the withdrawal agreement. perhaps we should swap places sooner rather than later. so let me ask the secretary of state just one further question about a claim that has been made in recent days, candace secretary of state answer this with a simple yes or no? can the uk secure an implementation period without a withdrawal agreement, yes or no? they know full well that the implementation period that he has voted against. but he talks about swapping places, but the clue is in the name of the department. the department for exiting the european union. but the right honourable gentleman does not want to exit the european union. it's a rather odd situation to be auditioning for a role whe

keir thank you very much. let's bring in "washington post" political reporter eugene scott. you have called the attacks unhelpful. for those who don't follow it closely, how significant is it that she's not around? >> it is significant in part because she is one of the most obvious ties and most recent well known ties between america and britain right now. she was born here in los angeles and now is a duchess. and so she's been very vocal about politics and social issues and could honestly be a bridge between a president who's quite unpopular in britain at the current time, but instead of addressing the valid concerns she had about his divisiveness and some of his world views and comments about women, she dismissed her in a way that she's dismissed hillary clinton, elizabeth warren, the mayor of san juan puerto rico when they also point out that he is not as helpful as you would think the president of the united states would be. >> those are people who are involved in government and legislating. meghan markle just had a baby. and she's a member of the royal family. as far as

keir simmons is there. this comes when british politics are in a bit of turmoil. theresa may abruptly announcing her departure. >> reporter: yeah. that's absolutely right. this will be a crucial news conference. not just for the president but for british politics. behind me, savannah, the world famous trifalgar square. they are trying to have their voices heard by the president. it will be interesting to see what they have to say. many issues could be on the agenda. iran, climate change. the chinese company huawei that america does not want involve in 5g but britain thinks should be allowed of the 5g network. of course brexit, they may not have agreed, the president and the outgoing prime minister. and we shall see in other points, the press from both america and britain. the british press can ask pretty cutting questions. many british people did not like the president's trip to britain. they did not like that he was offered a state visit. we could see tough questions from the waiting journalists. >> and we see the first lady coming in. that's our signal, we think

when you have a reporter like debra here and keir ra heira te this is what i've seen, this is what my reporting tells me, you should take it seriously. now, that being said one of the more alarming things we've seen come out of all of the reporting that's been done in terms of russian interference in the election and what -- laura brought up the fact that they were flooding facebook and instagram and twitter with fake accounts and fake stories that people who then ended up being quoted in legitimate establishment media entities, how do you, how will you going forward prevent yourself or how should -- let's broaden it out. how should journalists prevent themselves or guard against themselves becoming unwitting agents of a hostile foreign power. >> that's definitely a good question. i think it's something that journalists across the country are battling with right now. i think it comes down to basic news values and vetting everything that comes across your screen or comes to you through an interview. i think reporters have to do their due diligence and figure out where sources are getti

i'm honestly waiting for keir simmons to pop up out of the bushes at any moment now but this is royalhe track before the races, but now she comes out on horse drawn carriage promptly at 9:00 a.m. eastern time it is the start of the royal procession, the most popular tradition here at royal ascot. it's the public's chance to see the queen and the royals up close. many will bet on the color of the hat that the queen will wear so far, she has worn cornflower blue, duck egg blue, and gun metal gray it's caused confusion, because some say it is more lavender or lilac. last year, in her lime green ensemble, i snapped a quick selfie with her in the background, then i quickly got in trouble as soon as that happened you know, the fashion and the hats, they're a huge draw here at ascot not just for the ladies. the men actually have to follow strict guidelines, depending on where they are in the track. one of the highlights of my day yesterday was watching my husband, brian, try on his first morning coat and top hat, which was a fantastic look who knew a kid from boston could pull off a look lik

>> so, katie jones was connected to my friend keir giles, but also other experts in washington, people brookings, and people who were working at rand, which is historically the department of defense's favorite think tank. a lot of these people were pretty high profile academics and researchers, but there were also some u.s. officials on there. i'm thinking of an official at the u.s. department of state, paul win friday, who's apparently in the running for the fed, and a couple other folks who work in government. it was a select group of people and fairly high ranking. i spoke to about 40 of them and what they told me is probably something familiar to your users who use linkedin. they get a lot of questions all the time, and if the request looks le jet, they say. >> not something i practice in my day-to-day online life, but ken, that is something that a lot of people do. this has such incredible implications, specifically for our politics, especially going into 2020, this makes it seems as though what happened in 2016 is basically child's play. >> the story highlighted two things, one l

. >> i was talking with keir simmons in an earlier block, our reporter out of the long doe burro about the pictures i used to see coming out of the g 20, the american president surrounded by the britains and french and italians and leaders of the west. the pictures of donald trump are donald trump with autocrats surrounding himself with and no real images of him with our, what our traditional allies are. what do you make of donald trump's remaking of the relationship between the united states and the world? >> i think, you know, as with so many things that have happened over the trump presidency, this is something that we need to be constantly taking stock of and we're not because of the insane news cycle. but yes, the summit allows us to see just how profoundly the united states has changed in its positioning in the world. and how trump is basically expressing his very natural personal frpreference. we used to for a couple years obsessed with the idea he was maybe owned by russia but what he's really expressing, right, there is no simple explanation but expressing this is what he thin
