Pippa, gets married. Hello and welcome to the programme. By flying to saudi arabia President Trump has temporarily put some physical distance at least between himself and the ongoing turmoil in washington. As part of his first ever foreign trip since taking office, on sunday he will make a speech to a0 leaders of the muslim world about islam, extremism and countering terrorism. The challenges of showing appreciation for local customs apart, day one of the trip went according to plan. He was greeted with finest welcome the kingdom can provide, as you can see there, including red carpets and some more traditional events. And he can claim something concrete too deals signed including the largest ever us arms sales to the kingdom. Our North America editor jon sopel is in riyadh. With the mercury touching 100 degrees fahrenheit, donald trump probably found the blast of desert air refreshing compared to the political hothouse that hes left behind in washington. Hes hoping this first foreign trip will provide some respite from the mounting problems at home, and what a welcome his hosts laid on for him. The 81 year old king came to greet him, red carpet for as far as the eye could see. He was even given saudi arabias highest Civilian Honour, a weighty thing. A marked contrast to the almost hostile reception afforded barack obama when he was last here. Wherever you go in riyadh, this is what you see pictures of President Trump and king salman with the slogan together we prevail. A year ago, donald trump said in an interview, i think islam hates us. From the reception hes receiving, and the warmth of it, you wouldnt guess it. The new president s tough stance on iran has endeared him to the saudis and other sunni nations in the region. As part of that, a massive £75 billion arms deal was signed to supply the kingdom with weapons and know how to meet the iranian threat. And this allowed the president to talk about what he likes most, jobs. That was a tremendous day, i just want to thank everybody. Tremendous investments into the United States, and our Military Community is very happy, and we want to thank you and saudi arabia. But hundreds of billions of dollars of investments into the United States and jobs, jobs, jobs. At a news conference, the deal was welcomed by the secretary of state. This huge Arms Sales Package reduces the burden on the United States to provide this same equipment to our own military forces and will strengthen Saudi Security forces for the future so that saudi arabia is more capable of carrying a greater share of the burden. Less welcome news came overnight from james comey. The sacked fbi director has accepted an invitation to give evidence to congress in a public session, although that wont happen before this trip has concluded. According to the new york times, the president described him to the Russian Foreign minister as a nutjob whose sacking had relieved a lot of the pressure on the president claims the white house has not denied. Donald trump complained earlier this week that no politician had been treated worse or more unfairly than him. That is not something that could be said today. Outoftune rendition of us anthem. Though the composer of the National Anthem probably could. Jon sopel, bbc news, riyadh. Well, as you saw, there, the saudi king pulled out all the stops to make his guest feel welcome. The huge arms deal signed comes as saudi arabia is fighting Houthi Rebels in neighbouring yemen. The United Nations says about 10,000 people have been killed since the fighting began in march 2015. Yemen is on the verge of famine. Two weeks ago a Un Rapporteur accused saudi arabia of failing to investigate accusations that its forces carried out war crimes. The bbcs chief international correspondent, lyse doucet is in riyadh. Shes been speaking to salman al ansari, a political analyst who says this visit is of unprecedented strategic importance to saudi arabia. You are following this trip with great interest. A lot of talk about shared interest and economic co operation, is that what young Saudi Arabians want to see . Exactly. Despite the san storm we are experiencing at the moment, there is a Huge Positive vibe in the kingdom. The people in the government, you can tell everybody is content with the fact that the Us Administration chose saudi arabia to be their first foreign visit. That has unprecedented strategic importance, not only to the region, but to overall global security. Because we really need the United States to be backin really need the United States to be back in the game. We need them to be helping their partners to combat terrorism and to confront the challenges we are facing. We are facing a lot of challenges. The iranian backed militias are all over the place. They are targeting nudges Middle Eastern nations, but also american interests. Pure american interests. So it is very important for the kingdom and the arab and muslim world to turn a new page with the new administration, so they can move forward and confront the challenges. There was some calling on iran to undo the terrorism there. There is some observers who believe that saudi arabia exaggerates the involvement of iran across the region. The idea that we are exaggerating the fact about iran is, i dont see that to be accurate at all. Why . Because it is not only are saner. The whole world is saying it. Just be treasury department, they just sanctioned hezbollah in syria. We are talking about a region which has 75 syrian backed militias in iraq. Just has 75 syrian backed militias in iraq. Just in iraq. Has 75 syrian backed militias in iraq. Just in iraq. They are getting involved in syria. They can people in syria, and disposing i2 involved in syria. They can people in syria, and disposing 12 Million People there. We are not exaggerating here. Gest displacing. We are seeing Houthi Militias that are operating in yemen and killing ona are operating in yemen and killing on a daily basis. Displacing. We are putting our hands on the facts are putting our hands on the facts are nothing but the facts. And we need the whole world. The United States and the Global Community to basically confront iran, because they are the root problem in the region. Not only the region, but in the whole world. We will have to leave it there. Thank you very much for joining leave it there. Thank you very much forjoining us.

Lets stay in the region. Irans newly re elected president Hassan Rouhani has said iran will seek greater International Engagement and work towards a freer society. But the american secretary of state, rex tillerson, said the only way iran could change its relationship with the world would be by ending its support for what he called Destabilising Forces in the region. 0ur Diplomatic Correspondent paul adams has the details. In the end, it wasnt even close. The pragmatic Hassan Rouhani winning comfortably. For reform minded middle class voters, this was a significant victory. They came out in huge numbers, determined not to let hardliners take back the presidency. Iranians know their president is not a natural reformer but they are weary of conflict and, in the cities at least, eagerfor change. Mr rouhani seemed to represent their best hope. Today he thanked them and addressed the international community. Translation today the world is well aware that the iranians nation has chosen the path of interaction with the world. A path which is distant from extremism and violence. Our nation seeks to live in peace and friendship with the world but is not ready to accept any disrespect or threat. His biggest achievement to date, a nuclear deal signed with world powers two years ago. Today one of those involved in the diplomacy said she welcomed the president s win. I know how committed he is to continue the full implementation of the agreement but also how committed he is to engaging with the international community. But irans regional ambitions in the middle east still complicate this difficult relationship. Iran remains a big supporter of syrias president assad, in neighbouring lebanon, iran supplies and sponsors the hezbollah militia, in yemn it supports Houthi Rebels, and its influence over the government in iraq remains enormous. Yemen. The Trump Administration says irans Missile Programme is another threat new sanctions are being imposed. Speaking in saudi arabia, americas top diplomat delivered a warning. What i would hope is that rouhani now has a new term and that he uses that term to begin a process of dismantling irans network of terrorism, dismantling the manning and the logistics and everything that they provide to these Destabilising Forces that exist in this region. Whatever mr rouhani wants, everyone knows it is this man, irans Supreme Leader, ali khamenei, who calls the shots. Theres only so much his president can do. Paul adams, bbc news lets get more analysis on this. Ive been speaking to dr sanam vakil, who is a middle east analyst with the think tank chatham house. I asked her how free and fair this election was. Well, the elections are always vetted by the guardian council. It has been like that since 1979. They are not free by Western Standards at all. But you can see by the level of participation, that the iranian population is invested in the outcome. Guardian council. How reflective is this result than in terms of how iranians are feeling right now . Iranians basically supported rouhani, because they were attracted to the platform of an engaged a run iran, rather than the populist version proposed by raisi. The fact that the iranians chose the former is a positive sign. President rouhani has promised reforms, hasnt he . How much of that is in his control . The president does have the mandate to improve the economy. Hitz admits development plans, and they must be approved by parliament. He submits. It is through bilateral and deeper matic relations, particularly with the west, that he hopes to encourage increased investment, particular from europe, as well is from asia, to help generate growth, particularly employment in the economy. If he hamstrung by the fact that money is not flying because of sanctions . There might be lifted, but they are being blocked in different ways. And also the conservatives within the parliament. He is hampered, because the iranian economy still remains very much controlled or influenced by non state official entities. So the ircg and the like that have greater access to investment and financing and preferential contracts, and such. So he does not have a free rein. And he also has to adhere to be statements of the Supreme Leader as well. Sanctions are affecting. Nuclear related sanctions have been lifted, but the us has a number of non Nuclear Related sanctions on sanctions on iran dating back yea rs. Sanctions on iran dating back years. Plus risk. Investors and banks look at iran and see it as a risky investment. Lets go to brazil. Brazils embattled president says an investigation into his alleged obstruction of Justice Needs to be suspended. In a defiant speech, mr temer said the audio, in which he allegedly discusses the payment of hush money to a jailed politician, needed to be checked for tampering and audio edits. Translation today, were making a request at the Supreme Court to suspend the proposed probe until the authenticity of the clandestine tape can be definitely proven. The scandal has engulfed brazilian politics, with a third of mr temers cabinet under investigation for alleged corruption. Mr temer is already deeply unpopular in brazil but his Centre Right Party has been able to govern as part of a coalition. 0pposition parties have demanded his resignation and snap elections. Translation the government is bleeding and paralysed, and we at the brazilian socialist party, having already taken a stand against the reforms, are demanding the president s immediate resignation. 0ur correspondent in rio, Julia Carneiro is following the story. There is a lot in play here and serious allegations have emerged as pa rt serious allegations have emerged as part of it. A series of testimony by executives ofjps, the big Meat Producer in brazil. The Supreme Court has authorised investigations against him and we will still have to wait and see the result of that but today mr temer tried to give attention from that, defending himself, denying the allegations but also cast doubt about the testimonies saying they are incoherent, false and casting doubt over that audio. This Tape Recording is at the heart of the scandal was it shows the president talking to the powerful ceo of the meat company. Mr temer appears to be endorsing the payment of bribes to strike investigations and that really triggered the big scandal and he said these audio had been manipulated and has to be verified, which is being done at the moment. Lots of Media Outlets calling in specialist to have a listen to see whether it is integrity could be proved. Mr temer is trying to hold on to that. It is just a detail in all the allegations that have come out in all these testimony.

The latest headlines President Trump gets an extravagant welcome during his visit to saudi arabia. On his second day in the country hes expected to make a speech about his hopes of a peaceful vision of islam. Irans president Hassan Rouhani says his re election shows people want reform and to continue to engage with the world. Donald trump is in saudi arabia, on his first foreign trip as us president. Hes received a warm welcome there, but a cloud is hanging over his visit following the sacking of the fbi agentjames comey. Joining me now from Washington Dc is josh gerstein. A White House Reporter at politico. What do you think about this big deal that the us and saudi arabia have done . Do you think it buys President Trump enough Political Capital to get him out of the trouble hes in at home . Not really. Imean, it trouble hes in at home . Not really. I mean, it is a large deal may be in dollar terms but it is really not front of mind of anybody in washington or across the country. His plane had just gotten into the airwhen it his plane had just gotten into the air when it was hit by these two different bombshells involving him allegedly having cold and fbi director he was firing a nutjob when speaking to the Russian Ambassador privately and then report someone ambassador privately and then report someone in the white house focusing on this ongoing investigation. These things are ominous and looming over the trip and causing chaos at home. It will not be resolved by an arms deal with saudi arabia. What do you make of the President S Trip and the fact that saudi arabia is his first stop . It is notjust his first stop but his first foreign trip as president. The last couple of administrations, both democratic and republican, president obama and George W Bush went to the more traditional. Oh. Obama went to nine Different Countries before he set foot in saudi arabia. A lot of people would say that having the president of the us showing up in saudi arabia, it is an unusual choice compared to both democratic and republican recent administrations and it may fit together with the deemphasis of democracy and human rights under donald trump. We did lose the line for a second. There is an indication that the Trump Administration is not going to bring up human rights here. Is that a departure from previoUs Administrations . It definitely is a departure. Mr tillerson said publicly that we were not looking to expand American Values any more overseas. Each country should be able to pursue their own or reaction. It is more about us policy and interest rather than whether they are democratic. That is a big departure. It paid lip service to those aims. Thank you very much for being with us. Media from around the world flooded a small english country town to catch a glimpse of the Society Wedding of the year. Pippa middleton, the sister of catherine the Duchess Of Cambridge got married today. Kates children Prince George and Princess Charlotte were page boy and flower girl. 0ur royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. A Society Wedding. A chance to well, to gawp at the guests, for one thing. Interesting for some. Others may feel perhaps a little indifferent to it all. But of course this was rather more than a Society Wedding, with celebrity guests like Tennis Champion roger federer, because this was a Middleton Family wedding. So a wedding with royal connections. Big sister catherine arrived with two carloads of bridesmaids and page boys. Among them were Prince George, his hand firmly being held by his mother, and Princess Charlotte. They were ushered into church ready for the arrival of the bride. Pippa middleton was driven to church in an open topped car with herfather, michael. It rekindled memories of how it was six years ago, when pippa played such a memorable supporting role at catherines wedding at westminster abbey. Today, she was the one pausing at the entrance for the photographers, in a dress which Fashion Editors will spend pages describing. At the church door, the roles were reversed. It was kate lending the sisterly support, making sure the dress was as it should be. Then, with a final pat on the shoulder, it was time for the service to begin. Less than an hour later, the church bells sounded, and page boy george led the way out of church, scattering flower petals, as the new mr and mrs James Matthews emerged together as man and wife. Somewhere in the family group were Princes William and harry. Despite speculation in the press, harry had not brought his girlfriend, meghan markle, to the wedding. Had he done so, it would have overshadowed everything, and this was a day when the focus was on this couple and their wedding.
