It is going to change. Ahead of the inauguration, mr trumps team have said theyre already working flat out to ensure theyll be ready to implement mr trumps policies. Our North America editorjon sopel reports from washington. No longer a plane with trump emblazoned on the side. The President Elect arrived in washington aboard a us military jet, and this is the brand hell now be promoting, defending, and representing, the United States of america. And though not yet commander in chief, it was the first opportunity to practice his salute, as the Base Commander greeted him and the future first lady, melania. Across the city, the future Vice President was thanking the Current Administration for their help in the transition pleased to have a chance to report to the American People and all of you the progress that we have made at the President Elects direction. Washington is a city in transition. Its out with the old and in with the new as the obamas possessions are loaded up and taken away. Michelle obama tweeting one last photo from the balcony of her home these past eight years. And a video, one last walk through the house with their sunny and beau. The new tenants pick up the keys tomorrow. The Trump International hotel. With republican congressional leaders. I want to thank everybody. We have had such great, great support in this room. But amidst the gladhanding that is part and parcel of any inauguration, theres solemnity too. The nations future leaders going to Arlington Cemetery and the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier to pay their respects to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

I got to sing the National Anthem for mr trump five different times at his rallies, and so i received an invitation in the mail. Donald trump. There will be protesters too. The inauguration marks the peaceful transfer of power, but it doesnt signify a unified nation. Jon sopel, bbc news, washington. The bbcs Gary Odonoghue joins us now from washington. I asked him earlier what to expect from the speech. His pitch over the last 18 months two years as the outsider, connecting with people who feel utterly disillusioned with politics. People who believe they have been left behind by traditional politics and Political Parties so in a sense that he is talking to the people that put him where he is now but also in that speech, i thought it was quite interesting, he stressed the idea of unification, unifying people, bringing them together again. Unifying people, bringing them togetheragain. Something unifying people, bringing them together again. Something you do not associate, certainly we did not associated with the Donald Trump Campaign it whatsoever. There may be giving is of its ownership of that. Maybe we will see in the inaugural speech tomorrow that seems to be the exercise in high rhetoric, lofty language, told by advisers to be very philosophical as opposed to fill in practical policy developments and ideas. The Concrete Stuff will begin after that in inaugural address. You may perhaps repeal some policies president obama put in place and to needs to fill some key e55; yes, he . F . 5 yes, he has. I 535; yes, he has. I mean, Security Posts . Yes, he has. I mean, i was down at the pentagon earlier today and the Deputy Defence secretary is staying on for a few days to help with the transition because they do not really have anyone below generaljames matters to put in that straightaway. There will be processed like that. National security council, the key body that advises the president and sits inside the white house, that has 200 people in it. 150 are Career Civil Service but 50 are pointy at senior level and they will need to be replaced and we are at a time of increased international tension, with russia, the Islamic State group, the Syrian Civil War not to mention difficulties in west africa as well. Plenty of challenges so they will need to get these people ina they will need to get these people in a pretty sharpish. We will have extensive coverage of the inauguration later on friday.

Aussie dairy firm bega cheese agreed to buy it along with a range of well known food brands. That story is popular on bbc. Com. Lets take a look at some front pages from around the world. The Straits Times is one of several which leads with Donald Trumps inauguration. It highlights fears of a looming trade war with china, a possibility that xi jinping and the ali baba Founderjack Ma have both been speaking about at the davos summit. The japan times carries an interesting story about the future of emperor akihito, whos 83.

But the President Elect is emphatic and waves her forward. Clearly a man who gets what he wants. Lets stay with the Trump Inauguration and those fears of a possible trade war with china. Joining me now from beijing is our correspondent stephen mcdonell. 0bviously everyone has been watching the Cemetery Concerns in the us. Celebratory. Here in asia, we are all watching as well, especially in china. What is the view in china . Well, on mainland china, in beijing, the feeling is a bit like the calm before the storm. There are reports that chinas State Run Media has been told to tread carefully when reporting on donald trump at this time of his inauguration. In recent weeks there has been a lot of controversy when it comes to china us relations, whether it be us taiwan policy, all the talk of possible tariffs. 0r taiwan policy, all the talk of possible tariffs. Or a threat that the us might try to blockade these recently constructed islands in the south china sea. The press has been full of cartoons with donald trump asa full of cartoons with donald trump as a all in the china shop, or with as a all in the china shop, or with a hand grenade. Bull in a china shop. But not at the moment. It is pretty calm and there is a respectful tone from the press at the moment. A respectful tone, respectful tone from the press at the moment. A respectfultone, you say, but we heard from the chinese president who was speaking at davos earlier this week. Essentially he hinted at donald trump and the fear of protectionist policies, walls he is putting up, et cetera. But there is putting up, et cetera. But there isa is putting up, et cetera. But there is a sense of restraint from the chinese. But where will this leave them in Terms Of Trade . Another crucial thing this morning is chinese gdp numbers have come out. Crucial thing this morning is chinese gdp numbers have come outlj think there certainly is restraint at the moment on the part of the Chinese Government. At this time of year we go to all manner of new year receptions and speak the Chinese Government officials and thats the message we are getting regarding trump. They are all holding back and trying to be restrained. But those comments that xi jinping made, trying to be restrained. But those comments that xijinping made, of course he is talking about the possibility of tariffs. The chinese position has long been that. Free trade has benefited not only china, but the us, especially consumers, and they dont want tariffs, they wa nt and they dont want tariffs, they want free trade between these two powers. At the moment they arent being so strident and expressing this, but i think on the inauguration has happened that might change. Indeed. We will be watching closely. Thank you. In his inaugural address on friday, donald trump is expected to set out his personal vision for americas future, in line with his familiar Campaign Pledge to make America Great again. It was a slogan which made a Significant Impact in whats called the rust belt, those states in the Old Industrial heartland. 0ur North America correspondent nick bryant has returned to pennsylvania to find out what voters there are now expecting from the trump presidency. Its the places of american decline that make sense of Donald Trumps rise, and it wasntjust Working Class rage that helped him reach the white house, but despondency. We can be just as competitive as other countries. Rick rowlands supported him precisely because he was a billionaire businessman, and hes been impressed with how the President Elect has fought during the transition to keep Car Manufacturing Jobs in america. We were a Manufacturing Powerhouse at one point. When you say were going to make America Great, well, maybe that means were going to restore that sense of optimism in people, that, yes, tomorrow will be better than today. And trump can do that . Well, it remains to be seen, but at least hes talking about it. The neat take on donald trump is that critics took him literally but not seriously, and supporters took him seriously but not literally. They didnt necessarily believe everything he said, but he was talking and listening to them. Which is why in Working Class communities expectations are so high that he will create Manufacturing Jobs and reverse industrial decline. We joke about the magic switch. The magic switch. Absolutely, the magic switch. Just flip it on and plants up and running again. Ron baraff looks after this derelict old steel plant and jokes about the magic switch that President Trump will flick to bring it back to life. Theyre not thinking rationally. Theyre thinking with their hearts, not their heads. It will lead to a lot of disappointment and people being discontent, because it cant happen the way they envisage it to be. As much as we would love it, industry just isnt what it was. Period. And look whats happening just up the road in pittsburgh. Uber is testing out its driverless cars. And Research Labs are developing robots and drones that will deliver the next wave of automation. So the irony is during this political season that although trump has made the claim that its Foreign Trade and outsourcing which is killing jobs, really, by a factor of four to one, the blame goes to automation. You have been watching newsday. We have special coverage from washington all day on friday on the bbc, so i do hope that you canjoin us bbc, so i do hope that you canjoin us for the inauguration of donald trump. Hello. Wherever we have had clear skies over the past few days, my word, the temperatures have really dropped away. You certainly know its january. There have been clear skies around here. We have had a great zone through the heart of the British Isles where it has been a murky affair with leaden skies. Come further south, this is where we have had the best chance of sunshine. Thats the Temperature Profile as we start friday, but at its extreme, you could be looking at 3 in the north or 6 somewhere in the south. Generally speaking, certainly below zero, quite a widespread frost for the southern counties of both england and wales. Stretching up to the midlands and the southern parts of norfolk. We still have the cloudy zone all the way from northern ireland, north of wales and Northern England and into the Central Southern Parts of scotland. Again, there will be one or two spots across Northern Scotland that will get away to a bright start with sunshine, A Touch Of Frost and then again, some cloud as we go towards the northern and Western Isles as well. Not a good deal changes on friday with the notable exception, at last, at last, we will push some of the murk out of wales the midlands and maybe coming up to the southern parts of yorkshire. And then we do it all again. Where we have had the clear skies and you get a cold start to the weekend. The system arcing its way up to the Eastern Parts and that is where we will see the cloudy of weather. A big chance for many for you during saturday to see sunshine. That may not be the case across the south eastern corner of both england and wales but we were the more cloud than we have seen of late perhaps, but a slice of bright conditions. That will be the way for many the fixtures in the scottish cup fourth round. But, it will be cloudy and pretty chilly as well, for any of the Premier League matches. Dotted primarily across the North Western quarter of england. By sunday, generally speaking, more cloud around. The temperatures are really struggling as well. The weekend, in a nutshell, a lot of dry weather around. Not completely dry, there will be sunny spells around, but both by day and night, it will be on the cool side. As we start next week, they will be a bit of an issue with fog. This is one to watch. Its a way off, but with the High Pressure sitting right over the top of the British Isles, there could be a real concern about fog across central and southern areas.
