Bush: preparing to ease visit with interviews
George Bush has embarked on a charm offensive ahead of his
controversial visit to London, lining up interviews with the BBC's
David Frost and the new Daily Telegraph editor Martin Newland.
Mr Bush will meet Frost this week for an interview to be shown on
Sunday, ahead of his arrival next Tuesday.
Newland has also flown out to Washington to meet Mr Bush for the
Telegraph, one of Britain's most pro-war newspapers, although it is
not known whether the paper will carry a full set-piece interview
with the US president.
The two interviews are likely to have been chosen carefully. Frost is
not known for his confrontational style of interviewing, and the
Telegraph is instinctively more pro-American than some of its rivals.
With a week to go before the US president arrives, his three-day
visit is already acting as a magnet for protesters from all over
Europe, with demonstrations planned to coincide with his arrival.
