jon sopel is in washington. according to the polls, a majority of british people are in favour of donald trump coming to the uk on a state visit. but there s a sizeable number of people who stand opposed. almost two million people signed a petition calling for the invitation to be withdrawn. that petition in line with the law forced a parliamentary debate currently under way in westminster hall. here s a flavour. we are in a position unlike any faced by any previous parliament, where we have a person of a unique personality running the united states. there are great dangers in attempting to give him the best accolade we can offer anyone, only been offered twice before, of a state visit. this would be terribly wrong, because it would appear that the british parliament, the british nation, the british sovereign is approving of the acts of donald] trump. outside that debate in westminster, in parliament square, there s a demonstration under way tonight. let s get mor ....
and it starts with copper, the mineral copper. there s copper in brass. there s copper in bronze. the statue of liberty is sheathed in a layer of copper. that s about the thickness of two pennies. pennies themselves used to be copper, but now they re just copper-covered zinc, which sort of seems sad. it makes financial sense, because copper over time became too valuable to use in something as cheap as a penny, because most of what we use copper for now is conducting electricity. we use copper for wiring. there is a massive global appetite for copper. and the world s largest producer of copper is an american company. it s a company that used to be based in new orleans but now the mining company freeport is based in phoenix, arizona. and the freeport mining company of phoenix, arizona, they do still mine copper in arizona and they mine copper in new mexico and in colorado. but they are a gigantic firm. and they re a global operation. in south america, they mine copper in chile, ....
guests coming in and out of trump tower. it is like a second white house right now. it really is. it is a manhattan white house in waiting you might say. and donald trump just wrapped up a very important meeting with the japanese prime minister shinzo abe. who just wrapped up his own comments on that meeting just a short while ago here in mid town manhattan. they had a lot to talk about from trade to national security issues in asia. but keep in mind as you also mentioned donald trump has had a number of very interesting at any time lysing encounters throughout the day today. encounters that suggest he knows he has fence mending to do. a signal is being sent that the president elect just might be ready to put the scorched earth campaign behind him and perhaps engage in some healing. in addition to his meetings with foreign policy heavy weights like henry kissinger donald trump has been sitting down with his rivals and critics from the primaries. nikki haley, under considerat ....
bitter campaign there was sadness, disbelief and tears shed around the white house this morning. but president obama stepped up and made a strong call for unity. i had a chance to talk to president elect trump last night, about 3:30 in the morning i think it was, to congratulate him on winning the election. and i had a chance to invite him to come to the white house tomorrow to talk about making sure there is a successful transition between our presidencies. and tonight there are peaceful anti-trump protests around the country. you can see some of them. people exercising their right. live pictures from new york city and chicago. hundreds have taken to the street. wall street in the meantime surging today. a steep drop overnight. election results first showing trump likely to win. the market fell over 900 points ending up with a swing up over the president elect pulling off a stunning victory, capturing the key battleground states of florida, north carolina and ohio. and ....
unfairly. what is wrong with having an overzealous watch dog committee? and isn t getting rid of this office the kind of swampy stuff that republicans across america elected donald trump to get rid of? they re bringing anonymous charges and trying them in a public arena. a person targeted by that has to defend themselves after they ve been attacked publicly when they don t have a right to face their accuser. that s a right that goes right back to jesus himself standing before the high priest. i m going to read it off the screen here, with all that congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the independent ethics watchdog as unfair as it is? so the president-elect appears to be making the argument that you guys have a lot of other things on their plate. why make this the first move in secret the way it went down last night? i would have been happy to bring that to the floor and let democrats vote on that independently. i think you would have s ....
