help me god, congratulations. within a decade, there was another bush in the white house, george w bush. bush senior was the last of america's cold war leaders, and the demise of communism during his period was managed deftly, as former soviet satellites embraced the values of democracy and freedom. george herbert walker bush remained active in old age, even parachute jumping in his 805. atta boy! and, of course, the one constant throughout all that, his wife barbara. they were married for over 70 years. george hw bush who has died at the age of 94. he served one term as president of the united states between 1989 and 1993, but certainly left his mark, we arejoined by the political correspondence for the daily beast. we heard how active he stayed in later life, no doubt that helped him live to such a ripe old age. that's right. his spokesman a lwa ys age. that's right. his spokesman always talked about the level of exercise he maintained later in life, he was very act is as much as he could be, because he had a form of parkinson's disease that confined him toa of parkinson's disease that conf

this crisis is it a foreign-policy crisis, but i think if you took george h. w. bush, the time he served i think she looks awfully good in light of his record into perspective. the perspective. >> host: same question what matters when we judge a presidency? >> guest: i quoted my friend patrick buchanan who ran against george bush and 1992 and rattled the establishment and i would say that it is the beginnin wasf a love what we have seen since then it house etc.. but i would add what his thoughts were. he said he was an american closer. someone you called him at the con kluge debate the conclusion worthy inning of a baseball game. he happened to be president of thatthe time the wall came downd the cold war was ending and he may be around the longest for having bring that to a conclusion at the time we were worried about the civil war breaking out. his brilliance and temperament worked at that time. and we saw in him someone who was good at bringing people together and he said he was lacking the visual thing. now i understand better than ever when he said new world order at the time

incredibly moving and i don't think you had to know them to choke up when george w. bush choked up. i don't think you had to, you know, be anything other than an observer of american politic it is see that these friendships were real. i think you also heard some of the funny -- 41 was not a stiff. he was -- he could be, you know, he could be mischievous, a goof ball. driving the boat too fast and recklessly. allen simpson gave a eulogy of how george h.w. bush at the peak of his political popularity lifted him up at the depths of his own so i think it was a story about an american president but also a beloved father, a beloved friend and someone who will be missed. >> chris matthews? >> well, this is an away game for me in terms of the family because unlike nicole i don't know them well but i had to tell my experiences with george herbert walker bush matched completely up with the testimonies we heard today. he invited our family to the white house for a movie and dinner. the attention to my parents, all measured up. the letter writing, the noters back and forth over the years. i mean,

screen. it is a statement by george w bush and the death of his father, president george bush. it says we are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear dad has died. george hw bush was a man of the highest character in the best at the son or daughter could ask for. —— a summer obote. —— a son or daughter. just to repeat, george bush senior, the 43rd president of united states, has died. let's just look at his life. i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states... that he reached the office of the president of the united states almost seemed predestined. he was born into a family of wealth, privilege and politics. his father was the us senator. george attended yale, before volunteering for the navy in world war two. he was shot down over the pacific. his rescue remarkably caught on film. peacetime took into texas, where he made a fortune in the oil business and then came the lure of politics. he was elected to congress, served as an ambassador and became head of the caa, for pitching to become the republican presidential candidat

but also odd moment this must be for president george w. bush, one of only two men in the history of this nation to have served as president after his father. not only is he going through what must be a heart wrenching experience helping to bury the man who he revered so much, he is also getting a glimpse of what his funeral will be like. very few americans will have the opportunity to be honored in such a way with a state funeral such as this one. the send off that they will all experience. we see president -- >> you can see the former president, the former vice presidents bill clinton and al gore. >> we heard from a reporter inside the cathedral that president obama was talking at one point to one of his closest allies when he was president, angela merkel who credits president george h.w. bush for helping to manage the reunification of germany. it was not long after that angela merkel got involved in politics. there is vice president pence talking with chelsea clinton. it's a rare moment. >> barack obama saying hi. michelle obama. it's really very rare to have this kind of attendan

was important to him. >> it's important to realize that while we are burying a president george w. bush is burying a dad and it reminds me of a story when i was in the white house i had just had twin girls and i walked into the oval office, george w. bush, i said "i have twin girls. do you have any advice?" i can't give you all the advice he gave me on the air. >> martha: that sounds interesting. >> he took out two pieces of paper and hand wrote them each a letter dated on their birthday and he told me that the best gift a father can give his child is the gift his father gave him which is unconditional love. as i watch president bush today and the grief palpable on his face, we have lost a president, we have lost something of the better nature in our politics, one of those shining lights has left us but george w. bush has lost a dad and he's the first president -- it's interesting, he's the first president who has to bury his father, the president, with john adams died on july 4, 1826, 50th anniversary of the declaration of independence they couldn't get word so he was buried before he cou

bush and george herbert walker bush and george w. bush, although he was very different in many ways from his father but the jim baker and bush republican party, that's not the party of donald trump, clearly. and so it remains to be seen what happens. look at the fate of many moderate republicans in house races. you know this better than anyone steve kornacki but this is the moment to not think about the political side. i think this is the moment to think about the grace, the kindness, the generosity, the public bush family and the loss of many that loved him dearly and admired him or respected him and his service are feeling now. >> a andrea, as well, he, i remember when he lost in 1992, became an ex president and refrained for all those years from criticizing his successor bill clinton who defeated him in the 1992 presidential campaign and in fact, george h.w. bush and bill clinton in later years formed a friendship there, sort of what seemed if you watched the 1992 campaign to be unlikely but one certainly seemed to blossom from that. again, the news we just received this in the l

war and close friend of george h w bush. the german chancellor, angela merkel, had come ever grateful for the role that president bush played in the reunification of her country. and in the front pew all the living former us presidents were there and, of course, the serving president donald trump too who until george h w bush's death had been so disdainful of the bush family. but on this day of national mourning, it was also a rare day of national unity for a divided country. unity there may have been. warmth, there wasn't. the body language is chilly as the december day outside. the eulogy was delivered by his son, the former president george w bush. it was pitch perfect, mixing humour and pathos. i said "dad, i love you and you've been a wonderful father". in the last words he would ever say on earth were "i love you too". to us, he was close to perfect. but not totally perfect. his short game was lousy. laughter. he wasn't exactly fred astaire on the dance floor. the man couldn't stomach vegetables. especially broccoli. laughter. and by the way, he passed these genetic eff

us will see some brightness later on. i will have all the details coming up shortly. it is saturdayi december, and we start with some breaking news. the former american president, george bush sr, has died aged 94. he served in the oval office between 1989 and 1993, succeeding ronald reagan, before losing out to bill clinton. he was a navy veteran of the second world war and was shot down over the pacific. he made a fortune in the oil business in texas, and also became head of the cia. his son george w bush also became president, and released this statement a short time ago. he described his father as a man of the highest character, and said he was the best dad any son or daughter could ask for. in the last hour, the former american president barack obama has also paid tribute. he said america had lost a patriot and humble servant. our north america editorjon sopel looks back at his life. i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states... that george herbert walker bush had reached the highest office in the land almost seemed predestined. he was born into a family of wealth, privilege and politics. his father was a us senator. george attended yale, before volunteering for the navy in world war ii. he was shot down over the pacific, his rescue remarkably caught on film. peacetime took him to texas, where he made a fortune in the oil business, and then came the lure of politics. he was elected to congress, served as an ambassador, and became head of the cia, before pitching to become the republican presidential candidate in 1980. he lost to ronald reagan, but reagan put him on the ticket and served as vice president. in 1988, he had another crack at the presidency, this time successful. but there were new uncertainty because, notably iraq's annexation of kuwait in 1990. margaret thatcher told him to stay firm, apparently saying, "this is no time to go wobbly, george." he didn't. iraq will not be permitted to annex kuwait. and that's is not a threat, it's not a boast, it's just the way it's going to be. a wide coalition was formed, and operation desert storm began. the ground offensive would last 100 hours, in a decisive victory for american military expertise and superiority. i can report to the nation, aggression is defeated. the war is over. cheering. the 1992 election pitched the patrician bush against the young, charismatic, and hitherto—little—known democratic governor of arkansas, bill clinton. his clear advocacy of a new vision for america swept him to a decisive victory. so help me god. congratulations. within a decade, there was another bush in the white house, george w bush. bush senior was the last of america's cold war leaders, and the demise of communism during his period was managed deftly, as former soviet satellites embraced the values of democracy and freedom. george herbert walker bush remained active into old age, even parachute—jumping into his 805. atta boy! and, of course, the one constant throughout all that, his wife barbara. they were married for over 70 years. so that news only emerging in the last half—hour. i just so that news only emerging in the last half—hour. ijust want so that news only emerging in the last half—hour. i just want to so that news only emerging in the last half—hour. ijust want to bring you the white house statement we are seeing here. president trump at the 620 in seeing here. president trump at the g20 in argentina, a statement saying president trump and his wife are joining a grieving nation in mourning the loss of former president george hw bush. he hailed what he called his unflappable leadership. let's speak to our political commentator. good morning to you. give us a sense, if you would, of how america will be thinking about george bush sr, as we tend to refer to him here. well, what we are seeing is the loss of an era, actually. this was the last president to preside over a nation where you were able to actually see republicans and democrats actually come together and get things done. and more importantly, this was a man who ran for president who many believe had the most impressive resume of anyone in the modern era. and of course, remember, no one had actually been in the did to the presidency coming from the vice presidency coming from the vice presidency in over 100 years, so he was a trailblazer in so many ways. and also, i think it is also important to note that after his presidency, while many saw him as a one term president and that may have dogged his legacy, he became seen as a true elder statesman, working very closely with the man who actually vanquished him, bill clinton, to actually work in a number of humanitarian efforts. and so the question becomes will we ever see an insta nce question becomes will we ever see an instance where you have two former presidents, republicans and democrats, working together in humanitarian ways again? something we haven't seen since the likes of a george hw bush. we haven't seen since the likes of a george hw bush. 50 eric, we haven't seen since the likes of a george hw bush. so eric, i am looking at the statement from donald trump and first lady melania, and he is picking up on some of the personal side of the story here. we will remember president bush for his devotion to family, especially his wife, barbara. the two of them became very significant figures, possibly in a different way than any presidential couple, and first lady, previously. that's right, these were two people who were together for over 70 years. they were joined at the hip, if you will. and while the formerfirst the hip, if you will. and while the former first lady perhaps was not maybe as proactive in working on policy issues as we have seen from, say, hillary clinton, she was very much a mainstay, not only in the white house but clearly in his presidency. and it is clear she was the matriarch of the family, because again, watching as her son, george w bush, became president, and her other son, jeb bush, she clearly had a very strong hold over her family, and again this was very much an american political dynasties that we are seeing coming to an end, u nfortu nately. are seeing coming to an end, unfortunately. —— dynasty. are seeing coming to an end, unfortunately. -- dynasty. and what happens now in terms of the official reaction and what happens next? well, this is washington, and because of the stature of this president, surely he will be remembered and mourned by a nation, andi remembered and mourned by a nation, and i am sure many of the farewells that we will see, mainly from former presidents, we know how close he was, as i mentioned earlier, the bill clinton, so we can expect the reaction to be very warm given his many years of dedicated service to this nation. and actually, transitioning this country from a cold war place. and so i think the memorials that we will see will be very touching and very heartfelt as a result. we thank you for your time this morning, and just to quickly pick up on some of those words from donald trump, he went on to say, with sound judgement, commonsense and unflappable leadership, president bush guided our nation and the world to a peaceful and victorious conclusion of the cold war, of course, such a significant time he was president of the us. yes, a lot of reaction coming in this morning. barack obama and the abare must have released a statement saying the us has lost a patriot and a humble servant, and while their hearts are heavy, they are also filled with gratitude. george hw bush's life is a testament to the fa ct bush's life is a testament to the fact that public service is a noble calling. we will have extended coverage throughout the programme this morning. let's move on to other news 110w. theresa may has suffered another major blow to her hopes of winning the backing of mps for her brexit deal, after another cabinet resignation. the universities and science minister, sam gyimah, who voted to remain in the eu referendum, has announced he is quitting hisjob in protest at the prime minister's withdrawal agreement. in an interview with the telegraph, he claimed the deal would leave britain worse off and that the country would be left out of vital discussions on its future, branding it a loss of sovereignty the public will rightly never accept. the latest ministerial resignation is the tenth over may's brexit proposals, following the likes of dominic raab, esther mcvey and jo johnson. but, just as significantly, he joins the growing number of conservative mps who have said they will vote against the deal. currently, it is thought the number stands at around 100. another big blow for the prime minister, then, with the news that the universities and science minister sam gyimah is leaving the government. he said deciding factor for him was the confirmation from the government that the uk is the pullout of the project to build a satellite navigation system the european continent. the uk had been quite a leading player in that. it spent more than £1 billion of british taxpayers' money. but he says the fact that the eu has effectively shut the uk out of that isa effectively shut the uk out of that is a clarion call that it will be eu first in the future, and to think otherwise is at best incredibly naive. so sam gyimahjoins the growing from of conservative mps now on the backbenchers who have publicly declared that they are going to reject theresa may's brexit deal when it comes before parliament a week on tuesday. it appears that theresa may's efforts to try and get this deal through parliament are getting harder and harder by the day. she will take some solace from a sort of sign of support, a show of support, from the environment secretary, michael gove, who was at one point himself considering his position in government. he has written a very supportive article in the daily mail this morning appealing to his pro— racks at collea g u es appealing to his pro— racks at colleagues in the conservative party to get behind the prime minister, warning that the alternative could potentially be another referendum on this, and then losing the overarching prize of brexit. the saudi crown prince, mohammed bin salman, has been meeting world leaders on the sidelines of the g20 summit in argentina. theresa may urged the crown prince to hold the murderers ofjamal khashoggi to account, while russia's vladimir putin gave the saudi leader a much warmer welcome. french president emmanuel macron has warned him he was worried. the cameras they are just eavesdropping on a brief conversation with mr macron. today, the eyes of the world will be on donald trump and chinese president xijinping, as our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. for the leaders of the world's largest economies, a chance to relax and enjoy some traditional argentine culture. a reminder as well that on the world stage, as much of the dancefloor, it takes two to tango. and that applies today to donald trump and president xi jinping. and that applies today to donald trump and president xijinping. they will meet for the first time since the us president launched a trade war on the us president launched a trade waron china, the us president launched a trade war on china, with both sides now imposing tariffs on billions of goods passing between their countries. mr trump said he was hoping progress could be made. we are working very hard. if we could make a deal, that would be good. i think we want to, and i think they would like to, but we will see. we are meeting with president xi and a little while, but there are some good signs, we will see what happens. the us began the trade war after accusing china of engaging in unfair trade practices. china retaliated, accusing the us are trying to resist its legitimate economic growth. the reason as bad as is because the us china trade war affects all of these leaders' economies, notjust by damaging growth, but also by encouraging others to impose their own restrictions on trade. the protest is here in buenos aires show what can happen when trade falters. economies struggle, peoplesoft, and governance can become very unpopular. so the stakes are high at today's meeting, but few here are expecting a breakthrough, and that could mean the trade war between the us and china gets worse before it gets better. a series of aftershocks have rocked the us state of alaska after a devastating earthquake struck its biggest city, damaging buildings and forcing people to run into the streets. the quake was centred about seven miles north of the city of anchorage. it sent residents scurrying for cover and briefly triggered a tsunami warning for coastal areas. there are no reports of serious injuries. the fbi has launched an investigation after the records of 500 million customers of the hotel group marriott international were involved in a data breach. the hotel chain said the guest reservation database of its starwood division had been attacked, exposing the personal data of customers, including some payment card numbers. caroline rigby has more. marriott international is one of the world's largest hotel chains, and this ranks as the second—biggest corporate data breach in history. millions of customers affected, potentially across thousands of hotels, their personal information compromised. hackers accessed the booking database of the group's starwood properties, including brands like le meridien, st regis and the sheraton. it may have happened over a four—year period, from 2015 until september of this year, when the company was first alerted to the issue. but marriott—branded hotels weren't affected because they use a separate reservation system. the company says the database contains records of up to 500 million customers, with nearly 330 million of them having some combination of highly sensitive personal data stolen. that could have included details such as their name, passport number, date of birth, and in some cases, credit card numbers — even if the information was encrypted. this attack highlights just how vulnerable hotels can be, because they demand high amounts of information from guests and then keep hold of it. the rarity is quite significant. if we look at some of the major data breached in the past couple in a statement, the chief executive of the us—based company sad: marriott says it is e—mailing those affected, and has set up a dedicated helpline and website with information about the breach. the fbi and a number of regulatory bodies are now investigating how it happened and whether the group reacted fast enough. marriott now faces the possibility of heavy penalties, including millions of dollars in fines. caroline rigby, bbc news. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, everybody. if you wa nted good morning, everybody. if you wanted a change of mind to bring you some change in the weather, u nfortu nately, some change in the weather, unfortunately, think again. still quite unsettled. it's the first of december, 2a more days to shop and get ready to christmas. today might be the perfect day. there are some wet weather pushing into the south—west as we speak. some of it quite heavy. we can draw the line really in ireland, north—west england, down along that channel coast. that is where the rain is tending to sit. look at the morning ina tending to sit. look at the morning in a little more detail, it's moving through so we will see an improvement as we go through the morning. the rain, quite heavy at times. gusts of wins 30, 35 morning. the rain, quite heavy at times. gusts of wins 30,35 mph. the north, there out of cloud. the rain improving across wales but sitting through northern england and across much of northern ireland. a scattering of showers into the north—west of scotland. despite a chilly start in the eastern areas, maybe clinging onto some sunny spells perhaps through aberdeenshire. the rest of us, that rain clears its way across those north sea coasts, brighter skies into the afternoon. a mild field, 10-14 into the afternoon. a mild field, 10— 14 degrees. slightly dry with some sunshinejust 10— 14 degrees. slightly dry with some sunshine just a few scattered showers continuing. that is saturday. as we go through saturday evening, one main area of rain will clear away. the way moves through northern ireland and into western scotla nd northern ireland and into western scotland by dawn. some of that will be quite heavy. temperatures staying to double digits, predicted that this time of year. this low pressure will take a fancy to scotland. contrasting weather conditions for you unfortunately. read around the much of the day. for england and wales, the rain clears pretty promptly. the breezy affairfor all of us but still, a relatively mild one with the wind direction coming from the westerleigh. double digits right across much of england and wales and northern ireland. 11— 15 degrees, the high. looking ahead, this unsettled theme is likely to stay with us. not particularly cool, as you can see the next few days, but there will be areas of low pressure bringing some rain at times. unsettled, idon't like pressure bringing some rain at times. unsettled, i don't like that at this time of year. just a reminder, the news came injust around five o'clock, the death of former president george bush senior, aged 94. tributes from president donald trump. we will bring you full coverage about through out the morning. now on breakfast it's time for film review. hello there and welcome to the film review hero and bbc news taking us through this week's cinema releases. it is mark kermode. very strong week. disobedience. the rocky franchise continues in creed two. and truth is stranger than fiction in three identical strangers. disobedience, a woman comes back to the hometown. it was a love affair, it's had mixed reviews. you basically done myjob. rachael weisz comes back from new york and discovers her two best friends, played by rachel mcadams and alessa nd ro played by rachel mcadams and alessandro nivola. there has been no contact. when she turns up, everybody says it was unexpected but it's the first unclear why. —— it's at first unclear why. i don't need it. she will do it when she appears. but is she? she was going to go to a hotel that i told her she should stay with us. yes, yes. you must. felled down the bed in the spare room. i will do it. nobody told me. why didn't you let me know? you disappeared. it's a great cast. it's a really good cast. obviously there was a relationship between her as the other one and suddenly, it throws a spanner in the works and things are rekindled in the rest of the film is about the relationship between love and religion and about how one person has decided to tempt to redefine themselves through belief. there is a touch of the miseducation of cameron post. and she has become our own person in new york. i really like this, i'm surprised about the mixed reviews. it was very well played and sensitively handled. it is fairly low—key but when it needs to be passionate, it's not embarrassed. it's the story of somebody who in the wake of the death finds themselves cast out of their own community and it is a film which doesn't do a lot of explaining the plot to you. you come to realise things gradually and you do, because of the way the performances work. to do with glances what people don't say and the way people look each other in the way they hold themselves. i really like it. a couple of terrific central performances. creed two, i'm not a fan of boxing movies. i've never watched a national boxing match but i was surprised when creed reinvented the rocky franchise. michael dee jordan, his reinvented the rocky franchise. michael deejordan, his father, apollo creed was killed back in rocky for by dolph lundgren's drago. now, the son of drago, victor, wants a grudge match. rocky is not a correct and michael dee jordan saying, if you don't help me, you are abandoning me. what i thought was good was it is a familiar story. there is a sense of history repeating itself. it is well on a directive that the old movies, the boxing sequences are pretty punchy. they don't have quite the visual punch. pretty punchy. they don't have quite the panache of the first film. there is one which plays out entirely in one shot. it happens is, you care about it and you feel the punches because you care about the characters. it's astonishing that this far down the line, series is managing to produce new material that, as i said, takes hold routes and tells stories in the new way and i was surprisingly gripped. a couple of moments during the boxing scenes, i was gripping the edge of the chair. i've never watched a boxing match and i'm not a fan, but it worked for me. plus it's quite long. ididn't worked for me. plus it's quite long. i didn't realise how long it was. i came out and said, oh, that is a really good recommendation. now, the documentary three identical strangers. triplets separated at birth. there was a certain amount of reconstruction, new interviews. we are introduced to a character telling a story about 1980, he goes to college for the first time and people keep saying hello, like they knew him. he realises he has a doppelganger. he has a twin he never knew he had. it becomes a new story which was remarkable. the parson comes which was remarkable. the parson co m es after which was remarkable. the parson comes after the wood and says actually, it's me as well. this is not believable, this is unbelievable. this is big, this is serious. it's not some kind of crazy coincidence. this is not a minor resemblance, this is real, this is happening, this is really, really serious. when i got home, my mother was waiting at home with a cup of coffee and i said mum, you see this? we exchanged newspapers. july 12, 1961. it was louise wise adoption agency and i always knew growing up that i was adopted. my parents were always open about it. robert, scarsdale, new york, son of prominent scarsdale position. my first thought, he's got the wealthy family. the most remarkable story of coincidence but about 45 minutes in, they became celebrated stars in new york, they start t

george w. bush and his family. we will also see barack and michelle obama, bill and hillary clinton, jimmy and rose carter. it will be the first time all of them have been together since the trump inauguration. for political junkys and the public, the body language should be fascinating. although, it is anticipated that differences will be set aside for this moment, especially for the moment when bush 43, george w. bush eulogizes his father and we expect this to be very emotional and personal for him. he's not going to be talking about necessarily moments of import beyond george h.w. bush, the family. >> yeah. this is understandably so very emotional. this is a son speaking about his dad. it will be powerful. let's get more on what we can expect. chris cuomo is over at the capital for us. they have new details on what we will see and hear at this historic funeral. chris? >> reporter: this is historic on a lot of levels. with all these presidents and dignitaries here, the security is unusual here, unusual in its depth, its breadth, its timing. so that will be part of it today. we may

was celebrated with love and humor and his son george w. bush broke down. gmcceo, mary barra facing the gauntlet over their decision to close plants. edward, what's going on. reporter: you are not seeing me because here is the ceo, mary barra, coming in for her next meeting, the delegation from maryland talking about why the plant there is on the list to be closed. she is there to explain why gm needs to close 15 plants. she needs to restructuring gm to make the come anymore viable and have it vibrant for the future. >> it's 2009. we have invested $22 billion in the united states. in the last couple years we invested several more billion dollars and we'll continue to do that. reporter: there are 3,000 hourly workers who will be able to move within the united states to other plants. but that still leaves 12,000 people that will be affected by this. she was asked to putt new technology at least in ohio to bring the plant back to life and save some of those jobs. >> she said to us she is willing to keep an open find, but does not want to raise expectations. reporter: after the meeting,

family, including his son, the 43rd president, george w bush. then there was a ceremony which took place in the rotunda of the us capitol building, where we heard from a number of senior politicians, the speaker of the house, paul ryan, the senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, and the us vice president, mike pence, who all paid tribute to a politician who has been remembered and revered across the political spectrum. george hw bush was a president who devoted his life to public service. he served as a congressman, he was head of the cia, chair of the republican national committee, the us ambassador to the united nations, all of that before he became vice president to ronald reagan and then of course took the top job himself, serving one term as america's 41st president. rajini, we can see pictures now of the scene of his coffin draped in the stars and stripes, as people file past and pay their respects. ijust wonder, are they making preparations, and bracing themselves there, to receive hundreds, possibly thousands of people from across the us, who may come to washington wantin

son, george w. bush, and foreign canadian prime minister and others will do the same. the presidents club, every living president will be in attendance. one of the interesting elements, president trump does not have a well-established relationship with many of the presidents, has not spoken to jimmy carter or clinton and has not spoke with obama since taking office. i do want to track back and we are talking about what is happening today and tomorrow when the president travels back to texas, but what happened last night in the rotunda, two really organic moments that caught everybody's attention. the first is george h.w. bush and jeb bush returning unannounced to greet those waiting in line for hours, and at one point former president george h.w. bush, former president bush was holding a baby, and bob dole is also dealing with issues now and being helped up and giving a final salute to george h.w. bush, once a political opponent and then a political ally, and i can't think of a more noteworthy picture than what you are looking at right now. >> world war ii lieutenant salut

his son former president of the united states george w. bush. our special correspondent has this report. >> reporter: we've learned a lot about the final days and the final moments of former president bush's life. we've been told that in his final hours he was surrounded by his family, his son neil bush, his grandson pierce bush and his best friend james baker, but we've been told that his final words were actually over the phone. there was a speaker phone in the room and he was speaking to his son, former president george w. bush who we call 43, and his son said to him, dad, you've been a wonderful father and president bush sr. responded, i love you, too. and those were his final words before he passed. the story is also very poignant because there is endless fascination about the relationship between these two men. each one of them used to say to me, jamie, don't ask about our relationship. we're not into psycho babble, but the fact of the matter is they were very close. we recently spoke to former president george w. bush about their relationship. give me some words to describ

president george w. bush is standing right there. >> that looks like george bush. >> he'll be one of the first off this train. as you know, jake, this has been so, so powerful, so moving for him. we saw him briefly break down at end of his eulogy at the national cathedral in washington earlier in the week, and he's just been so grateful to all the people whole have come, all those who have spoken and all to are paying tribute to his father, someone he clearly loved so much. this is going to be a powerful moment for him, for laura bush, the former first lady, his brother jeb bush, columba bush, the kids are here, the grand children, and can you see here there's going to be a religious ceremony as well as this casket is taken off this train. it's going to be a powerful moment indeed. john, i know you have a thought that you want to weigh in as well. >> just to see 43 standing there again, two men in history, the father of a president, george h.w. bush and john adams, mary kay mentioned the eulogies. george w. bush saying if the goal in life is to die young, as late as possible, and i t

on friday at the aim of age of 94, it was george w. bush who delivered final moving all joe. >> so through our tears, let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you. a great and noble man. the best father a son or daughter could have. and in our grief, a smile knowing that dad is hugging robin and holding mom's hand again. kennedy: 41 would not have wanted sorrow and tears, it was a celebration of his life, a chance for our nation to set aside big differences we have. joining he now, washington time opinion editor, fox news contributor charles hurt. and juan williams is here. >> welcome. >> thank you. kennedy: charlie, you are in tc, what stood out. >> remarkable, everyone talking about hw's humility. and important of a moment you bring a divided nation together. it was possible only way, this is not only true about hw, but his son w . politicians was not their entire lives, we saw that today in the service and the stories. you know, they cared about politics, they cared about what they needed to do in politics. but they had lives to live, families they loved. they had things

president was eulogized by his son george w. bush the forty third u.s. presence. in his inaugural address the forty first president of the united states said this. we cannot hope only to leave our children a bigger car a bigger bank account. we must hope to give them a sense of what it means to be a loyal friend a loving parent a citizen who leaves his home his neighborhood and town better than he founded. what do we want to men and women who work with us to say when we are no longer there. that we are more driven to succeed than anyone around ish or that we stop to ask if a set child had gotten better and stayed a moment there to trade a word of friendship. or day and we're going to remember you. for exactly that and much more and we're going to miss you your decency sincerity and can soul will stay with us forever. so through our tears let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you a great and noble man. the best father of their daughter. and in her grief but just smile knowing that day it is hugging robin. and holding mom's stand again. of the. well the cheers of a grieving song a

years has been the rise of fox news. it is it's very will tailored to the rise of george w. bush in the marketing of george w bush in terms of his pushing -- personality and character. what he ended up being as president it wasn't what he head in mind when he was elected in 2000. we look at how little coverage there is in presidential election cycle after cycle. but there is an increasing focus on character in comedic action. it worked will to use a fox news as a vehicle for generating the image of his toughness. with respect to barack obama. yet a very different strategy in this conversation and this book. you could think of bill clinton and george w. bush for the differences in politics as being people who really believed that the best strategy for presidential communication is to be the sun king the old saying that the bride at every wedding corpse at every funeral. they did so with great opportunity and great aggressiveness. in some ways he was a more different president than these two. he didn't really try to dominate every news cycle. he did not insist that his emperor in many way

people arrested during violent protests over rising fuel prices. the former us president george bush senior dies at the age of 94. in tribute, his son george w bush, describes him as "a man of the highest character". the chairman of britain's biggest infrastructure project, the h52 rail programme, says he expects to be sacked in the coming days due to concerns over the performance of crossrail. a major earthquake has strikes the us state of alaska, causing people to run from buildings and briefly prompting a tsunami alert for coastal areas. and at 11:30, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers — business journalistjohn crowley and anne ashworth, associate editor at the times. stay with us for that. good evening. theresa may has assured world leaders at the 620 summit in buenos aires that her eu withdrawal plan will be "a good deal for the global economy". but she's suffered a fresh blow after the resignation of another member of her government over brexit. the universities and science minister, sam 6yimah, says the prime minister's proposal is "a deal in name only" which would remove britain's voice and veto, and lea

conversation. >> v >> the very last words he spoke were spoken to george w. bush, president 43, and he told him how much he loved him and that he would see him on the other side. and 41 said, i love you, too. >> reporter: and this was a family that really did love each other. right now we are waiting for members of the bush family who will accompany the former president's casket to lellingto field air force base. omar is here where they are handling arrangements for the funeral. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're expecting members of the bush family to arrive here shortly. it will be a well choreographed line that will go on. there are doza dozen motorcycle officers that will take them to ellington. there will be traffic but that motorcade will help them cut through there. once they get to ellington field, there will be dignitaries, members from the city council, diplomats and others ready to see him off. as he is loaded onto the airplane that was sometimes used as air force one, they will head to andrews air force base in washington, d.c. a lot of people are talking

their great love in the little moments like when george w. bush once again snuck michelle obama a mint right before he took his seat and when jeb bush handed his brother george w. some tissues. when the family respectfully greeted a man who hasn't been kind to them. donald trump who sat at the end of the row of living presidents. trump hasn't spoken to the obamas or clintons since around the time of his inauguration but all of this was a testament to something jon meacham said of george h.w. bush in his eulogy. >> a master of what franklin roosevelt called the science of human relationships. he believed that to whom much was given, much is expected. and because life gave him so much, he gave back again and again and again. an imperfect man, he left us a more perfect union. >> sure did. it was george w. bush who delivered the most powerful, the most emotional moment of the day, showing us the unmistakable grief of a son. >> dad could relate to people from all walks of life. he was an empathetic man. he valued character over pedigree, and he was no cynic. he looked for the good in e

state made, i'm april made, i was prepared for the time. >> presidents clinton, w. bush, obama and trump, one story from each. >> one story, bill clinton the race initiative, black journalists and bill clinton talking about race, george w. bush, two stories, i toured the gallery across the street from the white house, we walked with first lady laura bush and we toured exhibit and we watched crafted quilts and in that space we saw quilt and we saw elderly women who felt the stain of slavery, jim crow and raised hand, thank you, jesus, started to cry because they felt that the highest office in the land was paying attention to them and george w. bush, i have so much. we've had a great conversation all of the time about issues of race and one of the things that stand out in my mind about him is the night that barack obama was named president, 44th president of the united states. not trump -- the bush's would go to bed at 9:30 at night, the lights until 11:00 until he was named president and i will never forget the spontaneous crowd that came to the white house, i was at the white house and i heard kids chanting but he celebrated change in history for barack obama. he told me a week prior to that, he saw the racism that wa

, there is air force one, it will transport the body of former president george h. w. bush, back to washington, dc so that people can pay tribute. we saw quite a few people come out, and stand there and give tribute to the former president. >>> houston is where the former president and the former first lady, barbara bush made their home, they were presence in town, they were seen everywhere, it is interesting because he is being seen not just as a president but as a man and gentlemen, so many people are thinking about the letter that he left his successor, bill clinton. he left a letter on the desk on the -- in the oval office, he says i am rooting for you hard, these words from outgoing president to his successor, they did not share a lot in the way of political views but that tone of humility and civility, people are remembering and honoring today. >> knee was very gracious, his son, the 43rd president of the united states, george w. bush, several grandchildren, and the story we heard over the weekend about his final words, specifically on the phone, and he told his father, you ha

terrifying days after 9/11 when it felt like everything changed. >> president george w. bush said recently in an interview that it meant so much to him when his father reached over and took his hand. you see that image right there. it was so reassuring for a former commander in chief to hold the hand of his son, the current commander in chief in the time of the greatest trial. more people died than at pearl harbor. >> it speaks also to the kind of family that the bushes are because they are a big boisterous family but they're not a stiff upper lip kind of family. they joke about how quickly they are all moved to tears. >> i love where the elder bush grabs his hand. that's a father/son. that's not a politics thing. that's what you do when you're proud of your kid. >> for all the talk about their division over the iraq war, president bush 41 always said that he never had a harsh word about that. that was all, you know, inferred and surmised by those of us in the media and political talk. but that he would never have challenged his son's decisions. >> i think the thing that i'm most

president george h. w. bush. his reputation as a no-nonsense and highly talented attorney, reportedly impressed the president. he also shares his philosophy on law enforcement and a strong executive branch. this is what he had to say just last year. after the president fired then fbi director, james comey. >> the president certainly, is entitled to his choice as fbi director. you can understand the administration would want someone at the fbi who acknowledges limits on the power of the director. lou: we take out the possibility nomination with an all-star lineup tonight. judicial president tom fenton, for me is to be assistant attorney general, tom dupree, russia hoax author and fox legal analyst, gregg jarrett, all joining us tonight.and on wall street, a huge selloff on fears that u.s. china trade tensions were worsening with the rest of chinese silicone giant, cfo but trade it turns out had nothing to do with the day. the markets explosive rebound, proving it was all about rates. reports that officials would hold interest rates at current levels postponing rate hikes in

words. he was on the phone with his son, who shares his same name, george w. bush said good-bye to his father and told him he had been a wonderful dad and he loved him, to which bush sr. said, i love you too. those are reportedly his last words. i love you too. a powerful testament to that relationship of father and son. george h.w. bush, accumulated so many. impressed titles over the year over the course of the public service. president, vice president, congressman, ambassador, just to name a few, but to those who were closest to him, he was just dad or grandpy. a devoted father or grandfather. joining us now, jamie, you know this family well. you talk to so many of them. tell us more about president bush's final hours and the plans now for his memorials and services in the coming days. >> so as you said, his final words, we can now confirm were between father and son. they were actually on a speakerphone and he said, i love you too tor you too, to his son. let me take you back earlier. it's not a complete surprise. we've known that former president bush had been suffering from parkin
