President Trump greets King Charles at White House

Outside Source

Available for 29 days

The King and Queen Camilla are at a White House ceremony on the second day of their US state visit. Later, Charles will have a bilateral meeting with President Trump before he gives an historic address to US lawmakers. He's expected to use the speech to call for "reconciliation and renewal" between the US and UK amid strained relations over the Iran war. We speak to reporters at the White House and US fans who are attending. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has defended a joke in which he called Melania Trump an "expectant widow" just days before a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. We speak to comedians and comedy writers to hear their thoughts. We hear the latest from Mount Everest where Nepali mountaineers have managed to clear a route past a massive chunk of ice that's blocked the route up the mountain for two weeks.
