Ive been trying out wpter polo ahead of the british championships. And philip has the weather. Good morning to you. For some, the weekend is starting looking like this, but at the same time, others are looking at this. Ill tell you who gets what, where and why in a few minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. In the last few moments, President Trump has landed in saudi arabia on his first officialforeign trip since taking office. But he leaves behind more controversy in washington. We can see some of the live images right now, coming from saudi arabia. Can you see the flags of the official preparations, as the plane landed; three or four minutes ago. Theyve been rolling out the red carpet, the steps are prepared. Were expecting donald trump to emerge any minute for what is a very important trip for him. They werent quite ready with the aircraft steps because Air Force One touched down a tiny bit early, ten minutes earlier than expected. The us media is reporting that he told senior russian officials that the fbi director, james comey, was a nutjob whose sacking had Relieved Great Pressure on him. Our washington correspondent, laura bicker, reports. President trump is off on his first foreign trip. He might be glad to leave washington behind for a while. He tweeted that hell be strongly protecting american interests, thats what i like to do. But the president has had one of his most tumultuous weeks in the white house yet. It started with the accusation he leaked classified information to the russians. Then reports of a memo which claimed President Trump asked the fbi director to drop an investigation into his former National Security adviser. The next day, it was announced that a special council will lead an inquiry into russian meddling in the us president ial election and look at possible links between moscow and the trump campaign. The Washington Post is reporting that someone close to the president is of interest in that investigation and just as Air Force One took off, the New York Times published this not only did Mrtrump Call Times published this not only did mr trump call the fbi Directorjames Comey, a nutjob, he said with him gone it would relieve the pressure over the fbis investigation. It seems like we are learning disturbing new allegations about President Trump not just disturbing new allegations about President Trump notjust every day but, ladies and gentleman, every hour. The white house said mr trump was acting in the nations interests infiringjames was acting in the nations interests in firing james comey. Earlier this week, mr trump described the russian inquiry asa week, mr trump described the russian inquiry as a witch hunt. James comey has agreed to give his account of events in public, in around ten days time. Donald trump is embarking on an eight day, ambitious, foreign trip. It may be overshadowed by the prospect of more trouble when he gets home. Straight to riyadh now. Well, in the last few minutes, President Trump has arrived in saudi arabia. Were joined by Security Correspondent, frank gardner, who is in riyadh this morning. Frank, hes just touched frank, hesjust touched down. What are the expectations of his visit though . They are quite frankly sky high. The whole of this city is extremely excited about this trip. Not everybody approves of donald trump or us policy, but the saudis are immensely proud that their country has been chosen as the first leg of this trip. In the last few seconds, you can leg of this trip. In the last few seconds, you can see leg of this trip. In the last few seconds, you can see probable i behind me probably behind me there, the king, in his early 805, has just greeted President Trump and the first lady on the red carpet at airport here. Saudis are hoping this will reset their whole relationship with washington not just will reset their whole relationship with washington notjust between their country but the islamic world a5 their country but the islamic world as well. They didnt like president barack obama. As well. They didnt like president ba rack obama. They as well. They didnt like president barack obama. They felt he was too co5y barack obama.

Frank gardner our Security Correspondent in riyadh for us, as donald trump Ju5t Touche5 Correspondent In Riyadh for us, as donald trump ju5t touches down in the last few moments. New rules for Cigarette Packaging come into force this weekend. All packs must be Greenish Brown withju5t a small space for the brand name and include a graphic warning of the dangers of smoking. The measures, aimed at discouraging young people from taking up the habit, also include a ban on selling packs of ten. Tom burridge reports. Persuading young people not to smoke. Thats what the government hopes these new rules will do. From today, all Cigarette Packet5 have to be a standard green de5ign, similar to this. Health warnings must cover two thirds of the front and back of the packets. And you can no longer buy packets of ten. There will also be restrictions on e cigarette5 and on Rolling Tobacco too. Public Health Campaigners say the number of people smoking in britain continues to fall and this is another positive step. Its too early to say how many will avoid taking up, but even if its just a few percent that will have a big benefit in 20 or 30 years time. But the Tobacco Industry says greater restrictions will only pu5h people to buy cigarettes elsewhere. We are seeing people actually not quitting or giving up smoking, but basically buying cheap tobacco from the black market. Its never been so expensive to smoke. The government wants to emphasise the possible health costs and persuade more to stub the habit out. Its been a busy week in politics, as we gear up forjune5 general election. Weve had manife5to5 from the major parties and the first tv leaders debate. Our political correspondent, mark lobel, is in our london newsroom. Give us your5umming give us your summing up of where we are right now. First of all, today, there are a couple of outstanding issues because weve been served up a feast of Friendly Fire on both sides of the political spectrum. Theres been red on red as the Shadow Defence Secretary insisted that she was the Shadow Defence Secretary and not the shadow Foreign Secretary, after the two contradicted one another over whether the renewal of the Trident Nuclear deterrent would be on the table if the Labour Party Got into power and had a Strategic Defence review one said yes, the other, no. Theres been blue on blue attacks, as the former chancellor, george osborne, wrote a stinging editorial in his paper, the evening standard, that his former party hasnt got a clue how theyre going to get the Immigration Target down to get the Immigration Target down to the tens of thousands. The party themselves insist that its right not to have a deadline on that. Mark, its been curious in some ways. Were well into the campaign. Weve got some of the manifestos, but even now, not all. Thats right. Were waiting for a couple to come next week, but of the ones weve got, well, weve seen the shadow chancellor, John Mcdonnells swapping of his little, chairman maos red book, for his little black book of costings, the first fully costed labour manifesto, he says proving they can cost things and theyre ready for government. The Lib Dems Thinking that its still worth throwing the voters a life line, if they want one, to escape brexit. And the conservatives so confident that theyre asking the elderly to dip into their pockets thank you. Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, remains in the Ecuardorian Embassy in london this morning, despite sweden dropping a Rape Investigation against him without charge. Mr assange is avoiding extradition to the us, where hes wanted over the leaking of military and diplomatic documents. Scotland yard also says he will be arrested if he leaves the embassy, for failing to attend court in 2012. Home ownership among younger families has fallen by nearly two thirds in some parts of the uk since 1994, according to new research. The Resolution Foundation, a Think Tank Focussing on living standards, says outer london, the north west and parts of yorkshire were most affected. Our business correspondent, joe lynam, has the details. Its usually assumed that soaring house prices in Central London would have the greatest impact on affordability for younger households. But the Resolution Foundation says the north of england and outer london have been affected the most. It says Home Ownership among young families has fallen 63 in outer london towns, such as harrow and croydon. In west yorkshire, ownership fell by 52 among families with adults between 25 and 34. While the fall in Greater Manchester was 51 between 1994 and last year. A lot more families are living in the private rental sector, which is expensive, insecure and often not a very nice place to live. But it also matters longer term. Weve seen in the debate around social care this week that having a home is a key way that many people build up an asset over their lifetime. It really matters when you get old whether you own a house. They also say pledges by labour and the conservatives to build 1 million new homes lacked the required detail on how that might be achieved within five years. Prince george and Princess Charlotte will act as page boy and bridesmaid, when their aunt, Pippa Middleton, marries James Matthews today. The event is being dubbed the Society Wedding of the year. Theres been speculation over whether prince harry will bring his girlfriend, the american actress meghan markle. Alexandra mackenzie is in englefield, where the ceremony will take place a little later this morning. Morning to you. It looks reasonably quiet now. I imagine theres a fair few Satellite Trucks up the road near the church. Well, yes. Some people have been gathering here in a sunny englefield this morning, from quite early. It has been mostly security people. Theres a lot of security people. Theres a lot of security around here, roads around the church and around the Middleton Home have been closed. Theres a lot of media here as well. Theres a lot of media here as well. Theres a lot of media here as well. Theres a lot of Media Interest in the marriage of Pippa Middleton to herfiance, James Matthews. That will take place in the church. If you can see the lane behind me, The Church Isjust at the end of that lane. Its a small, 12th century church, st marcs, which holds just over 100 people. Century church, st marcs, which holdsjust over 100 people. Now theres been a lot of speculation about the guests here, as you say. We are expecting the duke and duchess of cambridge. Their children will play a role in the service. Were hoping to see photographs of them later. We are hoping that the sunshine will continue for them. Thank you very much. We will be back in that village later on this morning. Talk being about the world wide interest, particularly in the United States on that one. Back to our main story. We showed you the arrival pictures. President trump has arrived in saudi arabia. We saw the plane arrive a few minutes ago. Theyve moved indoors. These are just the images were seeing right now. The first few introductions being made. President trump is hugely important meeting this, for many reasons. Some to do with things that President Trump said during the campaign. And others to do with the important strategic importance of being in saudi arabia at this time, a number of key, both political and financial, meetings will be taking place. One of the things he is due to do is hes due to make a speech to representatives of more than 40 muslim countries at a summit expected to be dominated by the fight against extremist groups. We we re fight against extremist groups. We were talking to our Security Correspondent earlier and he was saying that is the spirit is a huge pa rt saying that is the spirit is a huge part of that is a huge part of this trip. Theres deal to be done. Hes particularly interested in oil and arms too. We will expect announcements of deals while hes there. Well stay on these images. Have a chat now with jacob parakilas. Were watching some of those pictures. They have emerged this morning as the president arrives in sowedament its a significant saudi arabia, its a significant saudi arabia, its a significant moment. Yes, it is. Its trumps first visit overseas since becoming president of the United States. It marks a particularly interesting moment in Us Middle East policy. Because the saudis and the other gcc countries had a lot of frustrations with barack obama. Had a lot of frustrations with ba rack obama. They had a lot of frustrations with barack obama. They were frustrated with the iran deal, the perceived us willingness under obama to strike a deal with iran over Nuclear Weapons and take steps towards a broader reproachment. The meeting here will probably be a sign that the us is rebalancing towards its traditional allies in saudi arabia and the other gulf states. Yes, nowjust on the personal politics of this. During the election campaign, President Trump as he is now, said a number of things, possibly that might feel awkward now. Just talk us through that. Trump very famously called for a Ban On Muslims entering the United States. He employed various people in his orbit who have, sort of, criticised not only extremism within islam, but in broader terms the religion itself. Thats not really going to go down particularly well. But if the saudis can keep the conversation on geopolitics, on the opposition to iran, on regional strategies, on containing isis and depending very much on what trump saysin depending very much on what trump says in his big speech to the summit, ithink says in his big speech to the summit, i think those differences will largely be baperred over here. Papered over here. Because of the significance of this meeting, we we re significance of this meeting, we were speaking to our correspondents earlier, saying very little access to the press. Theres limited amount of those scenarios that you often see on foreign trips, where the press get a chance to ask questions. This is going to be very carefully managed. Yes, it is. Well see which trump shows up. There is the restrained trump that weve seen in previous meetings with foreign leaders, even foreign leaders that hes harshly criticised in the past. Or theres the trump who says sort of uncomfortable things and says things that are inappropriate or awkward to various audiences. I think in the circumstance, where hes giving a set piece speech, reading words that have been written for him, i think hell probably stay more to the first of those two options. It does remain to be seen. Alongside all of the political issues and the resetting, as you describe, it of possibly relations between the countries, so important. There are financial elements to this trip as well, which presumably donald trump would love to focus on. Yes. The major one of which is an arms deal to be concluded with the saudis. Of course, barack obama made major arms deals with the saudis, as did george bush before him. You can go back through history and find an unbroken stream of american arms sales to the kingdom of saudi arabia. Trump isnt providing anything new in that sense. I think he will sell this and his press office will sell this as renewed support not only in terms ofjust arming the saudi arabians, but rebuilding the political
