BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, podcasts.

Hello, Newscast is back on BBC One on Thursday nights after question time, so you can watch that if you'd like.

But also, we have tweaked it so that it works as a listening experience too.

So that is what you will hear in your ears right now on the latest episode of newscast.

And because people have been scattered to the four winds across the summer holidays, we have

got a classic newscast cast back for you. Chris Mason is at Checkers, where all the action is.

And in the studio with me is Alex Forsyth and BBC economics editor, Vaisal Islam.

Newscast. Newscast from the BBC. Fat boy sliver me in the classroom doing our violin lessons. I was the tappletail in the class. Can I have an apology, please? I trust almost nobody. That daddy has to sometimes do strong language. Next time in Moscow. I feel delulu with no salulu. Take me down to Downey Street. Let's go have a tour. Blimey.

Hello, it's Adam in the newscast studio. Hello, it's Alex in the studio. Hi, it's Faisal in the

newscast studio. And it is Chris at Checkers. Chris, you look like you're, I don't know, like an

Prime Ministers of the last century

and a bit and yeah you sort of feel the history here you feel the you know Churchill and

thatcher and Clinton and Nixon and so many people who have passed through this building been

kind of regal stuff yesterday for this state visit. And Faisal, kind of like the real pounds and

pens stuff and dollars was this tech deal and all the associated business deals that came with it. We'll talk about that in a minute. But Alex, it's been interesting watching the last couple of days of Trump's state visit. And he's on his way across the Atlantic now on Thursday night. This has been made for television, this whole thing, hasn't it? Yeah. Well, it's like he said even when he was on his way over here, what are you going to get out of this? What are you going to get good pictures? And that's exactly what it's been about. And obviously because from a US perspective, they want to see Donald Trump on that stage and platform being surrounded by the pomp and pageantry. He wants those images to be broadcast out as well. But it's been sort of doubly so because a lot of it's been behind closed doors or closed gates of, you know, kind of Windsor, because it's been away from the public because of all the security concerns. So even more so, it's just been like this television spectacle, which is exactly what Donald Trump wanted.
