00:00 I'm in the centre of Paris. Behind me you can see the Arc de Triomphe in the distance.
00:04 At the moment all the roads are closed off. Now Macron is preparing for a rather grandiose
00:10 welcome ceremony where we will be seeing President Biden and Macron first making their way up the
00:16 Champs-Elysées to the Arc de Triomphe where a ceremony will proceed. Now the ceremony will
00:23 involve of course the singing of both national anthems, an aerial parade and also President Biden
00:30 is due to lay down a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier again to commemorate all of those
00:37 French and allied servicemen who lost their lives. We will then see the signing of a commemorative
00:43 book and the rekindling of the flame before President Biden will be greeting many different
00:50 veterans and military officials. And then the delegation will make their way in the afternoon
00:55 to the Elysee Palace where the two leaders are due to start official talks and make declarations
01:03 in the evening before a final state dinner with President Biden and his wife Jill.
