Whitehall 'oddly quiet'published at 09:48 British Summer Time 4 June 2019
BBC reporter Marie Jackson says: "Whitehall is oddly quiet as dozens of police officers await the arrival of the US president.
"The road is closed to traffic as road workers erect metal fences but police are letting the public wander along the opposite pavement.
"Overhead a helicopter circles as Mr Stop Brexit, usually resident in Parliament Square, bellows another plea through his loud megaphone in the direction of Number 10."

President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Theresa May at a G20 leaders summit in Buenos Aires in 2018
The prime minister isn't going to be in office for much longer, so the talks between Theresa May and Donald Trump will be an unusual event.
He is going to be looking over her shoulder at who is coming next. Theresa May really can't decide anything.
It is a curious 'limbo land' meeting they are going to have.
Mr Trump might raise Chinese firm Huawei, Mrs May could bring up Iran - but it will be a slightly phoney meeting.
The real drama will come at the press conference.
Mr Trump shoots from the hip and for Mrs May, this could be her last major news conference.

Thornberry criticises Trumppublished at 08:37 British Summer Time 4 June 2019
Today Programme
BBC Radio 4
Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry tells Radio 4's Today programme: "The truth is is that he has tried to close borders with Muslim-majority countries, he is caging small Mexican children, he has grabbed women and boasted about it.
"He is a sexual predator. He is a racist. And it's right to say that.
"We need to think about when it is that our country got so scared? Why can't we start saying things as they are?"

Thornberry: Labour 'not boycotting Trump'published at 08:24 British Summer Time 4 June 2019

Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry says: "Of course we do business with Donald Trump, and it's not that we're boycotting Donald Trump."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was invited to last night's state banquet but did not attend.
"If he wants to see us, we're more than happy to see him," Ms Thornberry says. "But we don't think that it's appropriate for him to have a state visit and we never have. A state visit is an honour, and we don't think this president deserves an honour."
