the france of today was honoured too with a military band playing music by daft punk. enjoyed by some in the audience, perhaps more than others. france's changing culture mirrored in this parade, accompanied by changing security threats too. the image of france's security forces has changed in the past few years, repeated terrorist attacks have refocused attention on security at home and the values that france has chosen to protect. the ceremony ended with the city anthem of nice, the scene of the country's last major terrorist attack a year ago today. in nice, the tributes honoured those who died in the attack, killed by a truck driven into bastille day crowds. their names, 86 of them, pinned by survivors into the shape of a heart. this afternoon president macron flew from paris to join the commemorations. the fight against terrorism was a battle for our civilisation, he said. the events here today were still haunted by debates over how best to guarantee security as the country once again paid tribute to its values, its history, to the idea of france. lucy williamson,

an bastille day, there was a french winner on the tour de france. south africa are desperate to make amends for that abject collapse on lord's on sunday. let's have a look at that scorecard. south africa ending the day 309—6. dean and ga, the first wicket to fall. he is the first englishman to do that. a big partnership between hashim amla and quinton de kock over 100 steadied things for south africa. the croc eventually falling for 68 and amla 78 before both ca pta i ns for 68 and amla 78 before both captains coming back to the side after the birth of her side. they we re after the birth of her side. they were both caught behind byjonny ba i rstow were both caught behind byjonny bairstow of the bowling of ben stokes. south africa finishing the day on 309—6. it has been frustrating at times for england's bowlers. they will be keen to wrap things up as quickly as possible in the morning and then we will see just how good that south africa first innings score really is. roger federer into his eighth wimbledon final. we'll leave you with some pictu

that is france's calling and vocation. france is not a country that reforms itself. i'm sorry to say this, mr. prime minister, i'm going to announce today in front of the congress that you can't reform france. france is a country that resists as long as possible to all attempts to reform. it is a country when you don't explain to the french, if you don't respect them or you don't talk to their intelligence, they resist. in the face of the big challenges, they rise, the country has always been able to find the resources that has enabled it to become what it is. your challenge today, you will be spending nights and days, will be spending days and nights on the subject, the issues that are the daily concerns of our citizens. every time the horizon and the cost that we haven't had will inspire us to restore the position of french intelligence means understanding that the french people are intelligent enough, smart enough to act alone. we mustn't have excessive public intervention. we of course must protect the most vulnerable notably through the labor code. of course we

because they know that without moving and moving ahead, france is not france. because we have had that shared experience in the past few years , a france that stand still goes nowhere and produce nothing, if not unhappiness, individual and collective. so that is our historic mission. mission.y it is the cabinet's mission. and your mission. and it is not a mission that is only incumbent on a small amount of people. incumbent upon everyone to work towards this objective. france has great resources in terms of innovation and creativity, and i am not just thinking about the talent. i am thinking about every french man and frenchwoman who wants to carry on whether diligently and build a better life for themselves. the mandate that has been given to us to create unity where once there was division, and to give those who feel disadvantaged in society their fair place in society. allow those who are entrepreneurs, who are creators and innovators to go ahead with their project. the people's mandate is not to ensure the government of an elite for its own benefits. it is

he said i'm not going to france because france is no longer france. if you look at what's happening in france it's no longer france. friends of mine that used to love to go to paris, they say we're not going to paris anymore. it's no longer paris. i have a friend. he is a very, very substantial guy. he loves the city of lights. he loves paris. haven't seen him in a while. i said, jim, let me ask you a question. how is paris doing? paris? i don't go there anymore. pair sis no longer paris. >> notably, the associated press reporting on that friend jim, asking the white house for a comment, whether that friend, jim, would be joining him on this trip. the white house didn't respond to the ap's request for comment. how do you view this visit? >> well, i think it's a visit that both leaders will benefit from. you've got president macron, the new wonder boy of international politics. he wants to be the main point of contact for president trump in europe. he knows that france has kind of lagged, number three in relations with the u.s., with britain, with germ

france, macron f invited mr. trump because this marks 100th anniversary of worldited states entry to war i and in a june telephone call with mr. trump, the french invited him and said that this year the event would and french troops marching through the streets, skies jets cutting the horses and lags and military on display. trump told macron he would be and officials rushed to schedule a last-minute trip that include 27 hours and dinner in the eiffel tower. the two leaders are there on the screen. this arrival ceremony taking place now for the u.s. president. watch as well as talk to all of you this morning in open phones. to ken in lacey, washington, a republican. hi, ken. hello. how are you doing? ist: good morning, ken, what on your mind this morning? caller: i am a veteran of two wars. i am sick and tired of watching six-figure ng salaries argue against each when they are supposed to e working for us, not against us. and i don't care what trump's return says, he is a illionaire, i don't really care. i've nev

city a gift from the people of france. i have been the curator here at the national world war i museum and memorial since 1990, and in that time i have developed an incredible passion for learning about the war, and especially about the people who were in the war itself because none of them are left to tell us their stories anymore. we have to present to the public through the objects that they left what their lives were like, how they were affected by the world war, and what were the things that they would like to have had remembered about them. so to me that's really the most important part of my job, because it was the humanity that was important to our story here. the other thing about the story here of the museum that i've always been very proud of is that war is not glorified here. on the contrary, it is shown as one of the most horrible undertakings that people can do to each other. so for me being here at the time that i've been the curator here is to learn about the people, learn how they suffered and how they exc

take a listen. >> france is no longer france. france is no longer france. >> they won't like me for saying that, but you see what happened in nice. >> look at paris. i have friends who yoused to go to paris. they said, no, paris in paris t. is time to put youngstown, ohio, detroit, michigan, and pittsburgh, pennsylvania, along with many, many other locations within our great country before paris, france. >> our international correspondent melissa bell joins us now from paris. melissa, do you expect a different tone from president trump today, given he is the guest of honor during this major french celebration and what do you think is on the agenda? >> reporter: well, a guest of honor, jake, who's really been treated to things an ordinary guest of honor isn't treated to. the visit earlier, incredibly symbolic. president macron saying, this is paris, this is france. this is the history of our alines over the course of the last century and why it matters. you simpty don't get those kinds of visits rolled out ordinarily for heads of

and france was the traditional enemy of britain. and there was also a very strong anti-catholic element. and so for each of your periods, i'd like you to talk a little bit about attitudes toward france, or the french that americans encountered. suspicion hostilities or opening, welcome with open arms. and how you think it changed american attitudes toward france? >> should we do it chronologically? you make all the points that i found that the sentiment against the french, which was in part because they had been the enemy during the -- what we call the french and indian wars, it was called the seven years' war, was only a decade old. the memories were very strong. and the religion and all the other aspects meant that when the first french troops and volunteers were coming, they were not well regarded. nathaniel greene actually said these are so many spies in our camp. that's how he referred to them. but when the first battles, especially and i point this out at brandywine, erupted, things changed. the congress, washington, the other

they may fight each other in syria, but can still do things together in france. >> narrator: as france reeled from the charlie hebdo attacks, another plot was being uncovered across the border in belgium. (shouting, gunfire) on the 15th of january, belgian police raided a house in the town of verviers, killing two terrorist suspects and wounding one. u.s. and french spy agencies had helped track their return from syria. investigators found evidence that they were part of an isis cell deployed by the young belgian extremist abdelhamid abaaoud. >> because of the verviers case, abaaoud came very clearly in the picture. >> narrator: eric van der sypt is a belgian counterterror prosecutor. >> we realized that he was active in the recruitment of people from france, from belgium and he trained them, and he was responsible for sending back people to western europe also. people that want to die, they're not afraid to die, and they're not afraid to kill other people while doing so. >> narrator: abaaoud now became the subject of an international manhunt. european and u.s. intelligence detected hi

they have not beaten france since 197a. lost to france the last three major tournaments. it was a nervy match. there were few chancesin was a nervy match. there were few chances in the match as a whole. but the thing about this england side, which is something they have not donein which is something they have not done in previous tournaments, if they are ruthless. there was one chance forjodie taylor, injidup. she is on course for the golden boot. a huge win for them to night. —— taylor, and she took it. they will be at no one in this championship, now. —— tonight. will be at no one in this championship, now. -- tonight. so they are now the highest ranked team. who is going through as the favourite? i think you said it there. england are the highest ranked team. they have looked formidable and found different ways of winning every single time. but i think maybe the netherlands will have selling to say about that. that is who england played next in the last four. they are the host nation, and even though they perhaps has not embraced the tournament as a whole, they

and france and, indeed, a nato and the rest of the european union. we talk a lot about what divides them, president trump led the charge on that. this is a chance for president macron to sort of flatter president trump but show he is, you know, on equal footing with him. >> still show his strength as well. both new presidents. there, you see them just moments ago with the first lady of france, and melania trump, the first lady of the united states. we are getting live pictures from inside napoleon's tomb. we are going to bring them to us. if you are just joining us, let's reset. it's the top of the hour. i'm poppy harlow from new york. we'll bring more in a moment. president trump just arriving in paris for this historic visit, his first visit to france. you can see them coming out of the motorcade there. president trump pulling the united states out of the paris climate agreement. they will talk about all of it ahead over the next two days as they celebrate bastille day, the anniversary of the united states entering into world war i. the four of the

what will france do? how will france cooperate with all of these areas with china, and what do you think personally of mr. xi jinping? how do you want to continue to work with china, and what do you personally think of mr. xi jinping? thank you very much. president trump: he is a friend of mine. i have great respect for him. we have gotten to know each other very well. a great leader. he is a very talented man. i think he is a very good man. he loves china, i can tell you. he wants to do what is right for china. we have asked him for some assistance with respect to north korea. probably he could do a little bit more, but we will find out. we are working on some trade deals. he has been very nice. he has let beef go back in, certain financing go back in, certain credit card financing and other various things go back in at my request, which is very good for our farmers. a lot of good things are happening. but we will be working on major trade components. president xi is a terrific guy. i like being with him

do you think this is an opportunity for france and germany are stronger france and germany together. to take a whole take over from the united states possibly. it is at least an opportunity there together the forces within europe which is quite important because. if we remember the first to days and weeks. off the u. s. president who was very much about but its relations trying to split up europe in different bits and pieces and to make bilateral deals with a different capitals. by germany and france joining their forces it will be a very difficult. to circumvent them and this i think is a very important message also to the rest of the european countries. that is possible together around this corpus that is now built between berlin and paris so creating listen to also. know couldn't continue sorry. and also to too often alternative to what the americans would basically all for. other countries in europe i think that's the them a most important strategic perspective that we have in here. that europe can rebuild itself possibly i with this move between germany and france and really als

france had helped america in our revolution. and these men want to help france. it wasn't just the military help that the americans brought. this part of france was devastated in the fighting in time villages were razed. and it was an american relief efforts privately funded that helped to rebuild. as we can see in some remarkable and recently rediscovered footage showing fix very road. this is the village of tony la filled in nineteen seventeen by someone working for the american committee for that devastated regions. a we see star who've come into an area recently taken back from the germans to assess needs and distribute help. the committee made up of well to do american ladies was based at the chateau of playroom called now a museu. that the head was there redoubtable and more good. they were prototypes of the molten aid worker. from the beginning of a fed these american committee. and morgan asked for movies to. make it to the american public is aware of the state of devastation and to find ways monday for the organization as she settled here in the in the h

yes this is a gift from france to the united states. but he wants to build a monument of democracy for the entire world. so hold on to that thought. we're going to talk a lot more about him and how he accomplished this when we get a little closer to the front of the statue. but the third individual and certainly the most famous is gustave eiffel. several years prior to the construction of the eiffel to r tower, he designed the interior engineering for the statue of liberty. if you look up into the statue, you're going to see what looks like a mini eiffel tower. this serves as the frame work and the frame work has iron bars that reach out and connect to the skin. the skin is very thin. it is made of copper and it is two pennies put together. along the skin are armature bars, and it is the armature bars that give the statue the flexibility she needs. she can move and sway due to the wind. she can expand or contract due to the heat or cold. all that energy transfers from the armature bars through the frame work to the bop to have the pedes

with the allies in france. i think it is important because beyond the daily news, we live in countries with roots that are deeper and go further and yochbbeyond who we are. so the presence of president trump who is in my eyes not only natural, and i also think he's an excellent leader of our troops for both of our countries. earlier today we shared parts of our joint history, and attended a museum and then we had a joint working session, and i'm extraordinarily pleased about it. we have been able to talk about a number of subjects of joint interests and shared convictions and more important a road map for us to work together in the coming months. we agreed to the utmost to implement free and fair trade and this is what the g-20 expressed with some sensitivity. we want to work together in order to implement some measures to tackle instability wherever it is taking place by sharing the information that we have and making sure that both the unions and the united states can take the necessary measures that can prot

that is playing out while he is in france. if those reporters don't pick up on that as far as domestic issues aside from russia, i'm disappointed. that's something that affects every american. if you're going to talk about russia, let's talk about what is really happening today. >> charlie: one of the reasons president trump has such a strong hand with that as he is able to sit back and keep pressure, but also blame on republicans in congress from a distance who have been a part of a problem. >> rachel: very true. don't expect that they're going to ask him about health care. >> melissa: and works for the democrats narrative because they are saying there's been a plot all along and it helps president trump with his supporters because to them, they hate hearing about it. there are two very different lenses that people are looking through. in some cases, and helps discredit the media when they talk about with all the people who support him. >> harris: no matter which lens you look through, two things are true. there is no crime.

france's dilapidated. now we see a vision where, for one thing, the eu is growing much faster than we are. we are at the back of the line for g7 growth. france and germany look very united and strong. europe has new strength, energy and enthusiasm, we have been left behind. we are the ones who are going to feel like outsiders. a flyover zone will be very important as well. it will be going to germany and paris. a flyover zone will be very important as well. what you say about the streets, it seems far away but it is so important. it is what links to people who are so alike, emmanuel macron and donald trump. they were both elected by amazing disaffection and anger at the grassroots level. if they don't succeed, where is that anger going to go? this is something that really worries a lot of people. this is notjust friends and the us, it is other countries as well. this pent—up anger against the establishment, against anybody who is on top, is really dangerous. does that affect the leaders we get? if there

very popular here in france. there on the front line particularly in the terrorist activities we are seen in the past three years. when they went past and the big red onions, they got -- in the big red engines, they got lots of applause. australians, united states, a young man from thailand, they said they had never seen anything like this in their home country. they were expecting it to be full of pomp and circumstance but this was really something else. everyone i spoke to was pleased with what they saw today. washis year's parade marking the 100th year of america's involvement in world war i. what did the crowd have to say about donald trump in the guest of honor? >> i spoke to dozens of people in the crowd. french people as well as tourists. the overall impression i got was that people here didn't seem to see it as a big deal given the historical context. given that it has been 100 years now, 1917, when the united states came to the aid of france in the first world war. it was seen as a appropriate historical

troops entering france for world war i. it's why you're seeing a lot of sort of military pomp and circumstance happening today and then tomorrow during that parade as well. but this relationship i do think as we watch these leaders walk together here, is certainly one to watch, particularly given what president trump has said in the past about france. remember on the campaign, he called it a disaster. when he pulled out of the paris climate agreement, he said he was elected to represent the people of pittsburgh, not paris. i'll tell you, president macron had words just as sharp for president trump. remember after that, macron said, hey, lease make the planet great again, a little bit of a jab at maga, at the make america great again slogan that president trump has owned. i think this will be an interesting day. we'll wait to see what develops out of this meeting. we think a precedent holds we'll get a readout of what they discussed, any sort of policy issue moving forward or coming out of this regarding partnership when it

is no longer france, he said that france is a disaster in september, all coming on the heels of a country that was shaken to its core, the terrorists who had left the country came back and carried out deadly attacks on dozens and dozens of french people, and they were rattled, and now when you become president, you modulate your language, and that is what we have seen as well. >> yeah, it is one thing to say those things if you are a writer or a candidate, and i think that his critique of the immigration policy is correct, they basically imported what is now an indigenous terrorist problem, which is an enormous wonder, but on a day like this, when you're president of the united states, it is about something much larger, american servicemen died in france to liberate france, to save western civilization, and that is what we are marking today. >> bill: how did you rate this trip to the g20 last week? >> i thought it had a very strong start, i think what will be most remembered as the warsaw speech, where we celebrated western civilization, i think we see the strip and a little bit of the fr

the streets in france... the irony for britain leaving now is that at the time of this ridiculous campaign for brexit began, they said that europe is falling apart, all europe is not the future, france is dilapidated. now suddenly we see a vision where for one thing the european union is growing faster than we are, we are at the back of the line for g7 growth. but france and germany look very united, very strong. europe seems to have new strength and energy and enthusiasm, and we have been left behind. we are the ones who are going to feel like the outsiders, unimportant. we will be the flyover zone for anybody else. nobody will come and talk to us, they will be going to germany and paris. i think what eunice says about the streets, it seems far away, but it is so important, and it is what links two people who are so unalike, which is emmanuel macron and donald trump. they were both elected by amazing disaffection and anger at the grassroots level. if they don't succeed, where is that anger going to go? this
