Morning, guys. Well, afternoon there. What can I tell you? Well, I'm sitting here on the tarmac at the Air Force base that Air Force One will take off from any minute now. I'm hoping I can turn this around just to show you what I can see here
0:15
So, there we have Air Force One. I've just seen going up the steps a moment ago was some suit bags, basically
0:25
black suit bags with a label on them that said, what everybody called the President of the United States who worked for his team
0:32
You can see that there is a small number of press here at the moment
0:36
We'll be having various vehicles driving up. And then they're taking a weather call because it's a little bit gray and drizzly here in D.C
0:45
this morning. If the weather doesn't seem suitable, then the President won't
0:49
arrive here on his helicopter. He will come in a car on the motorcade
0:53
And then we have a journey of about... It's normally about... It's actually quicker
0:59
on Air Force One, would you believe? They've put the foot down. They're not too bothered about
1:03
various regulations which we've been also have to suffer from. And so we should take a journey time of
1:09
about six hours or so to get into London. And then we will be... Beth, can I
1:15
I'm just saying, we're looking at a slightly different camera angle, a live shot of Air Force One, and I think we can just make you out
1:20
Could you just wave your arm up and down a little bit? Because we are looking at an angle here where you appear
1:25
as like a little ant on screen from a long distance away
1:29
So we can see you from two angles here. That is remarkable. You've flown, of course, on Air Force One before
1:35
What it like inside It very nice The functional section at the back which is where sits isn the most luxurious air travel in the world Very nice I said before it a bit like premium economy
1:48
No flatbed. You get very well looked after. They bring you up your food. There's no choice of food
1:54
You just get what you're given. And everybody just gets on with their work on the airplane
1:59
I mean, it's a business trip for the press who were there. People are tapping away on their
2:04
laptops. We're obviously five hours behind you. It's a fairly early start for us this morning
2:08
A few people will have a nap. I might be one of them on the way over to the UK because we've got
2:13
a very busy few days, obviously, ahead of us with events in Windsor and then also in Chequers
2:21
The feeling here is that Donald Trump is looking forward to this trip. He's been under a lot of
2:26
pressure internationally here. But most of his domestic policy is going down pretty well
2:34
actually, particularly in Washington, D.C. Obviously, it's the political hub of the country
2:40
Nevertheless, he will enjoy having a couple of days, which is to some degree a holiday
2:45
The Charlie Kirk assassination hit this city very hard this week. It hit his family particularly
2:53
hard. They saw Charlie Kirk as an honorary family member, really, an honorary son
2:58
So that's his tongue over this trip. But he will, I'm sure
3:03
be pleased to get over to the UK. He has a huge soft spot
3:07
for Great Britain and he is clearly extremely pleased that it's making history
3:13
by being the only second state visit ever given to President. So that's all the kind
3:19
of stuff that Donald Trump enjoys, isn't it
