Thanks holly, and stav danaos has all the weather. Thank you, there is a change on the cards, today might be settled, mostly dry, but cold, it will be turning milder later on in the week, but thats only half the story, i will have all the details in around half an hour. Also coming up our live coverage from enniskillen, annita. Thats right, bbc news continues its election tour of the uk. Today, im in enniskillen, which is in the fermanagh constituency, right in the border of the republic of ireland. It will be tightly fought contest between nationalism and unionism. Hello, everyone. This is afternoon live, im lukwesa burak. Our main news this afternoon President Trump is in london ahead of a gathering of 29 nato leaders thats to take place in hertfordshire. Theres already controversy around the summit, with intense disagreement between some leaders over security issues, and continuing arguments over money. Mr trump spoke this morning to reporters in Central London. Carrie gracie is there for us carrie. Hello. I hope you can hear me all right, there are helicopters overhead. Im outside winfield house, the american ambassadors residence in regents park, where donald trump is staying before he joins other nato leaders for a gathering in watford to mark the 70th anniversary of the alliance. Right now, he is supposed to be having a meeting with president Emmanuel Macron of france. That has been one of the most fractious moments this morning. We will get into nato events in a moment, it is of course the 70th anniversary of the military alliance, which it celebrates as the most enduring, resilient, adaptable military alliance in history, but which has been troubled on various fronts as we speak. A difficult moment domestically in the uk, controversial, because all of these visitors and President Trump himself a drive in the midst of an Election Campaign, the role of the nhs, the future of the uk us free trade agreement, delicate issues at the heart of that campaign. Lets take a look at the politics of this now, and this report from jonathan blake. Arriving during an Election Campaign is unusual for a president of the United States but Donald Trumps visit was supposed to be strictly focused on the nato summit. No high profile meeting with the Prime Minister, officials acknowledging the president knows he should not get involved. After his motorcade rolled into london this morning and the president took questions from the press, it sounded at first like donald trump might stick to the script. I will stay out of the election. But. I think boris is capable and he will do a good job. After showing support for borisjohnson he was asked about Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister. I can work with anybody, im a very easy person to work with. Jeremy corbyn has written to the president about concerns the nhs could form part of a trade deal. And there was this morning for donald trump. There was this warning for donald trump. We want a Good Relationship with the usa but the trade talks undertaken by the government have been done in secret and we do not accept any idea of us companies coming in to run our National Health service or the idea of extending dependence on medicine which would increase costs for the National Health service. Earlier this year the president said everything would be on the table but now. I dont even know where the rumour started, we have nothing to do with it and we wouldnt want to, if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. Boris johnson met military veterans in milford today. How are you doing . Not too bad, thank you, bearing up. He said the nhs wouldnt form part of trade talks and attacked Jeremy Corbyns record on security and defence. There is a stark contrast between our approach which sees the value of nato as the protector and guarantor of our future, and Jeremy Corbyn in the labour party which wants to disband nato, seems to be quite incredible position to take, that is the choice at this election, in just nine days time. Labour says it will maintain the uk commitment to nato despite Boris Johnson maclaine, Donald Trumps comments on the nhs will ensure that subject remains a talking point with nine days to go until the election. The nato meeting to celebrate its 70th anniversary is overshadowed by internal arguments. 29 allies will be gathering together to celebrate this anniversary. President macron of france made some comments which President Trump has taken exception to this morning. President macron said the alliance was strategically brain dead, President Trump said that was insulting, disrespectful and nasty. So, hardly voices raised in unity on the brink of this summit. Lets get the brink of this summit. Lets get the latest on all the difficulties and disagreements for this 70 year old alliance. Heres our dramatic correspondence, james robbins. Diplomatic correspondent. Nato ought to be in party mood. The military alliance was born 70 years ago in 1949. Lead and largely paid for by the United States. Nato saw off the cold war threat, first from josef stalin and fulfilled its purpose, outliving the communist soviet union. Nato is the most successful alliance in history and because we have been able to change when the world is changing, thats exactly what we are doing again and the fact is we are doing more in this alliance than has been done for many decades. But todays nato looks like a family at war with itself, President Trump who once called it obsolete, champions nato, turning on frances president macron who accused him of lack of vision and calls nato brain dead. When you make a Statement Like that, that is a very, very nasty statement to essentially 28, including them, 28 countries. I think you have a very high Unemployment Rate in france, france is not doing well economically at all. But its military action by another military member turkey inside Northern Syria which poses a far more immediate threat to nato unity. Turkeys president enraged nato isnt100 supportive, now threatens to Block Alliance plans to strengthen the collective defence of the Baltic States against russia. We have tremendous spirit as it pertains to nato, i would say except perhaps for one country. And we will be talking to that one country, we will see how it works out. And actually, the one country has a couple of points but those points are devastating nato, we will find out about that during the next two days. Present divisions within nato risk drowning out crucial discussions of future military threats to the alliance. Space is the next frontier for nato to defend. From possible Cyber Attacks knocking out satellites which are critical to Global Navigation and communication systems. All this is the backdrop to a reception at Buckingham Palace this evening when the queen will surely use her diplomatic skills to try to bring natos divided leaders closer together. Well, as i was saying a moment to 90, well, as i was saying a moment to go, right now behind me, President Trump and president macron in discussion, we believe. We can now speak to vice admiral patrick chevallereau, former Defence Attache of france to the uk. And also vice admiral still. Thank you forjoining us. What do you think mr macron is saying to President Trump right now . |i think mr macron is saying to President Trump right now . I think you have to come back the recent visit that the nato secretary general had in paris a few days ago. President macron will certainly say the things which are absolutely aligned with what he said at that time, repeatedly, the commitment of france to nato. Also, some concerns that he raised previously that nato has to talk and inside nato, consultation is very important before taking actions that can put at stake the security of other members. This is exactly what happened in Northern Syria, and it shouldnt happen between allies. And yet, there are some critics of france and president macron who say that by drawing attention to the winds in the alliance right now, he risks widening and deepening those wounds. How do you answer that . have spent a lot of time myself in nato and this organisation is very successful. I would say the military pa rt of successful. I would say the military part of nato is doing very well, the decisions that have been taken during the last summit are great decisions with reinforcements of nato presence in the eastern flank of europe, for instance. At the same time, we have to talk about the things which dont work, and there are things that do not work. I think nato needs a political engine, and this political engine is shaky right iiow. This political engine is shaky right now. Once again, you cannot have nations taking decisions that impact the security of other nations. This isa very the security of other nations. This is a very important point and nato wont do well in the next few years if these kind of things go on. Argue reassured by the robust support that President Trump has issued since arriving in london . We have heard him this morning being very emphatically, ioo behind nato, his description of himself being the only problem he has with it is at the moment is evenly sharing out the financial burden of running it. Do you think that will reassure president macron . I would like to, andl president macron . I would like to, and i would like to be optimistic myself. I think president macron would like to be reassured, too. Well, you have words and you have actions, and what donald trump said this morning is very good for nato, so this morning is very good for nato, soi this morning is very good for nato, so i observe that this is 180 degrees from what he was saying a few months ago, telling nato was obsolete. I just hope few months ago, telling nato was obsolete. Ijust hope he will not change his mind again. So lets take his words today and lets hope this is what he thinks. Thank you so much for joining is what he thinks. Thank you so much forjoining us. And just a reminder, that meeting between President Trump and president macron is going on behind me, we believe. Well bring you the latest on that as we get it. Later in the afternoon, we also have a meeting at downing street, which is also potentially a fiery one between a president ardagh one and president macron and the german chancellor and Boris Johnson, addressing the issues of Northern Syria again and the troop deployments to the baltics and poland. Much more to come as well as the reception in Buckingham Palace and the meeting for all 29 nato allies in downing street tonight before the nitty gritty talks tomorrow. Lots more from here later, but for now, back to you. A man has been arrested by police in essex investigating the death of 12 year old Harley Watson who was killed when a car hit a group of people outside a school in essex yesterday. The 51 year old is being held on suspicion of murder and the attempted murder of five other people injured in the crash. Charlotte rose reports. Flowers of remembrance for a School Community in mourning. Students arriving at Debden High School laid flowers to their fellow pupil, named locally as Harley Watson, who died in whats been described as a hit and run just metres from the school gates. The sense of shock here is a palpable. The tears of a relieved mother, just grateful her son, who was one of those injured, got to come home last night. You know, he hasjust got tissue damage and concussion, but he is lucky, you know. Yeah, very lucky. Parents today accompanying their children to school, to make sure they get there safely. Children should be safe. And i know this is slightly different, but. Itsjust too much pain. Theyve taken our babies out of the community, havent they . And for those parents, i wouldnt even know what to say to them. You just dont know what to say. Earlier, the schools head teacher paid tribute to him. This young man has made his mark on the school and was liked and loved by staff and students. We will consult with the family and our community to decide how best to commemorate his life. The pile of flowers here continues to grow as students, parents and staff show their grief at the loss of one of their own. 0ne message reads, i will miss you so much, harley, be forever in our hearts. Police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident, following the arrest of a 51 year old man last night. But they have urged anyone with information to contact them on the 101 number. Charlotte rose there reporting from Debden Park High School. Youre watching afternoon live, these are our headlines President Trump says he wont get involved in the election but insists the us isnt interested in the nhs when it comes to possible uk us trade talks. The president willjoin World Leaders in london this afternoon to celebrate 70 years of nato. Hes already defended the organisation against attacks from frances president macron. Five women who allege they were abused byJeffrey Epstein urge Prince Andrew to testify in their cases. And in sport theres a dreadful missed catch from joe denly, as englands cricketers draw the second test in new zealand, and lose the series. Manchester united manager 0le Gunnar Solskjaer says hes not worried about his job, despite the rumours and the recent glut of sackings. And Anthony Joshua says hes reinvented himself, as he prepares for his re match with andy ruinunior, who took his three world heavyweight titles in the summer. Ill be back with more at half past four. Lets get the latest from the general election now, and with just over a week to go, all of the Political Parties are still on the campaign trail. All of the Political Parties 0ur Political Correspondent ben wright is travelling with the Prime Minister, and they are currently in hampshire. He has a very busy day ahead of him, hasnt he . He does, thats right. Before the nato summit begins, Boris Johnson made a quick trip to the south west. President trump arrived in london, Boris Johnson south west. President trump arrived in london, borisjohnson went to salisbury, which is not somewhere that the tories are fighting hard to keep because they already have a thumping majority down there of 17,000, but Boris Johnson thumping majority down there of 17,000, but borisjohnson did turn up 17,000, but borisjohnson did turn up in wiltshire for a rare occurrence on this campaign trail, which is an unprompted, unannounced walkabout around the town centre. He ppped walkabout around the town centre. He popped into some shops and tea calls quite a scram around the Christmas Market in salisbury as he pressed the flesh and met some voters. The reception from a solid tory seat was rather warm to Boris Johnson. Reception from a solid tory seat was rather warm to borisjohnson. That is the campaigning we have been used to over yea rs of is the campaigning we have been used to over years of a politician wading through a crowd in a town centre, it doesnt happen any more. Security concerns are a big part of it but they dont want the unpredicted ability, the randomness of an egg or ability, the randomness of an egg or a hackle, to interrupt the campaigning. Boris johnson did a hackle, to interrupt the campaigning. Borisjohnson did do a 1520 campaigning. Borisjohnson did do a 15 20 minute walk through salisbury earlier on, but now, he is headed back to london and the nato summit. Thank you. 0fcom has rejected a complaint from the conservatives after channel 4 used a melting Ice Sculpture to represent borisjohnson during a climate debate last week. The media regulator says the act was not
