Last year, certainly the mood was very negative on Europe in those first couple of days.

So far today, there's just been a lot of running around.

It's not particularly cold.

There is, of course, as we know, this huge USA house that is occupying quite a lot of space in this church.

And I will be very intrigued to see how that all plays out over the next couple of days.

This was day three, and it was a momentous one.

Donald Trump's plane had just landed in Zurich, and the queue to see him speak stretched further than I'd ever seen at any Davos session.

But before we got to that, I wanted to talk about sovereignty.

Mark Carney and several European leaders had made it clear the rules-based order as we knew it was over.

It is quite a momentous moment.

Of course, Donald J. Trump, having had his plane delayed, has now landed in Zurich and is likely on his way in a helicopter to Davos to speak.

And so that is going to be the topic of my live today.

I may come back in the afternoon once he's had a chance to speak.

Let me give you a sense of what is going on right now.

Trump will be speaking at the main Congress center and in just over an hour, 2.30 local time, 3.30 if you're in the UK.

Normally you just start to queue up a minute or two before you want to get into a session.

Even for Jensen Huang, who I saw speak a few minutes ago, I arrived 30 seconds before Jensen got on stage.

We're over an hour, nearly an hour and a half before Trump arrives.

So I've taken one for the team.

I won't be able to see this live because I was either going to be out here or I was going to be in there watching.
