2:03 pm
queen's death of parliament. james, what are we expecting for that session to hold? let me 1st. before i answer that question, emily, tell you about the battles you were listening to was ago, because very old, where i am standing right by the houses of parliament. normally, at the top of each hour, you hear the bell, the top that big ben in the elizabeth tower named off the light queen. you hear that strike? we should have heard 12 strikes here at noon in london. we didn't because they didn't strike the big band big but didn't sound so the other bells could be heard. so rather unusual big, but not sounding here in london in the house, the parliament where as you say, a meeting is going to get on the way in the next few minutes. now this is not businesses usual for the u. k. parliament, effective business, you angel was the case. it would have started about 2 and
2:04 pm
a half hours ago. the proceedings, the normal political life of this country is on hold. you are not going to have any intense discussions about political issues in the coming days. we believe the morning is going to go on for about 12 days and that the funeral is likely to take place on monday. the 19th has not been formally announced that stage what you're going to see in parliament today when that session gets on the way in the next few moments is going to see tributes from political leaders. we're going to have any n p you wants to make attribute making tributes. in fact, it's going to the session here is going to go on today for some 10 hours. so we're going to hear from some of the political leaders who haven't spoken yet. we're going to hear from ordinary am pays. we're also going to have another section of this taking place on saturday. there's something called the session council taking place early on saturday. now,
2:05 pm
king charles is already the king. that happens legally just when the queen dies. he inherits the throne, but there's a rubber stamp process called the session council to take place on saturday morning . that's the privy council, which is an ancient body in the u. k. joined by some representatives of some of the other countries commissioners from other countries where the queen was head of state after that's taken place. then probably got more tribute to a town again on saturday here from m p. 's paying tribute to the light green. here's i want to ask you a little bit more about that james, about saturday session is quite unusual for parliament to be sitting on saturdays and tell us a little bit more about what's going to happen and unfold over the weekend. well, i think the session council is very interesting because we haven't seen one of those take place since since the queen took the throne in 1952,
2:06 pm
it is a gathering known as the movie. so, well, give you a little bit of a history. the privy council originally was the ministers who used to sit around the king or queen when that. but in the days before, there was parliamentary government in this country, its evolve of the privy council exists. lots of what they do is ceremonial, some of what they do is still done traditionally by the privy council, and it's just a couple of minutes the city in another forum. but as i say, that will be joined by other representatives, including senior senior civil servants, including representatives from the other the other nations where the queen was the sulphur. and remember that she was not just the queen of the united kingdom, the countries that make up the united kingdom. she was also the queen of 14 other countries around the world. so they will be represented to and that will be gathering about a session council. and then the 2nd part of that team,
2:07 pm
charles will actually join that unread out to knows the import important moments taking place. and then as i say, you get hold of back here on track today with more attributes being paid. and i think part of it's harrison's, the m. p. 's will be trying to set the tone for the country, giving their own recollections to their own meetings with the clean up. but i think that will also be trying to follow the public mood as well. and try and reflect on how the public see this. i think there's an aim for all the, for the school leadership to try and make sure that what's been planned for, for literally years. this is this, this plan for the, for james, i'm just going to run you now. sorry, james, interrupt you. but we are going across live now to parliament who's holding or which is holding a special session to mask the queen's to flip listen in was in the church almost 70 years ago. 57 complete session parliament passed since then. and as

2:19 pm
elizabeth created a special personal relationship with the soul. that relationship was built on the attributes that defined her reign. her total commitment to service and duty, a deep devotion to the country, the commonwealth, and the people she loved. in return for that, we loved her. yea, and it is because of that great shared love that we grieve to die for the 70 glorious years of her reign. our queen was at the heart of this nation's life. she did not simply rain over us. she lived alongside us, she shed in our hopes and our fears at joy and our pain are good times and our bad our queen played a crucial role as the fred. between the history we cherish and the present. we own
2:20 pm
. a reminder that's our generational battle against the evil of fascism. all the emergence of a new britain out of the rubble of the 2nd world will do not only belong to the past, but all the inheritance of each and every one of us. a reminder that the creativity, the hard work, the enterprise that is always defined, this nation is as abundant now as it ever was. a reminder that the prospect of a better future still burns brightly. never was this link more important. that when our country was plunged into, looked down at the start of the pandemic, a simple message that we would see family again, that we would see friends again, that we would beat together again,
2:21 pm
gave people strength and courage when they needed it most. but he wasn't simply the message that allowed a shake could nation to draw upon those reserves. it was the fact that she was the messenger. cobit closed the front doors of every home in the country. it made our lives smaller and more remote. but she was able to reach beyond that to reassure us and steal us. at the time we were most alone. at a time, we'd been driven apart. she held the nation close in a way no one else could have done it for that. we say thank you. on the occasion of the queen silver jubilee in 1977. philip lock in wrote of her right. in times when nothing stood but west and all grew strange. there was one
2:22 pm
constant good. she did not change. it feels like we at once again in a moment in our history where as law can put it, things are growing strange where everything is spinning, a nation requires a still point. when times it difficult, it requires comfort. and when direction is hard to find it requires leadership. the loss of our queen robes this country of its phyllis point. it's greatest comfort at precisely a time, we need those things most. but our queens commitment to us the life of public service was underpinned by one crucial understanding that the country she came to symbolize is bigger than any one individual or any one institution. it is the sum total of all our history and all our endeavors. and it will endure
2:23 pm
the late queen would have wanted us to redouble our efforts to turn out cholera and faced the storm to carry on. most of all, she would want us to remember that it is in these moments that we must pull together. this house is a place where ideas and ideals are debated. of course thought leads to passionate disagreement. of course, temperatures can run high, but we all do it in pursuit of something great. we do it because we believe we can make this great country and gets people greatest fill at this moment of uncertainty where our country feels caught between a past it cannot re live on a future yet to be revealed. we must always remember one of the drape lessons about
2:24 pm
queen's right that we are always better when we rise above the petty, the trivial the day to day. to focus on the things that really matter. the things that unites us, rather than those which divide us any, are elizabeth an age may now be over. but her legacy will live on forever. and as the children of that era, it falls upon us to take that legacy forward. to show the same love of country the love of one another as she did to show empathy and compassion as she did. and to get britain through this dark night and bring it into the dawn. as she did, we join together to day, not just to say good bye to ask we to share in our morning, but to say something else simply don't save the king. because as one
2:25 pm
error ends. so another begins. king charles, the 3rd has been i devoted servant of this country his entire life. he has been a powerful voice the fairness and understood the impulse of the environment long before many others as he ascends to his new role with the queen, come so by his side the whole house. indeed, the whole country will join today to wish him a long, happy and successful. right. dead mister speaker, the emotions we see across the nation to day. oh echoed across the commonwealth to what cha queen was so committed in the church to which our queen was so devoted and any armed forces which she led and her family said around the world. people will be
2:26 pm
united in mourning for her posse and united in celebrating her life. we've already seen beautiful tributes flow from across the world. it would be impossible to capture them all there. but each one as a reminder of the esteem in which she was held of what she achieved on behalf of her country or the shed values we treasure. the reason our loves feel so profound is not just because she stood at the head of our country for 70 years. but because in spirit, she stood amongst us as we move forward. as we forward a new thought, as we build towards a better future, she will always be witness. for all she gave us and all she will continue to give us. we say thank you. my queen, rest in peace. don't said the king. i know call all the

2:28 pm
trip truss. what's the significance of all of this? what, what's going to unfold now today? and in the coming day, while it will be the 1st meeting with the new king, and of course, the new prime minister, because she only started her job this week. she had her, she was installed in the job by the late queen just 3 days ago. in fact, louis frost, and spoke about that meeting and the speech where she just spoke to in parliament. she said that she passed on her advice in that meeting. and that she cherished that meeting with the monarch, the prime minister, which was speaking in parliament, said that the late queen embodied the spirit of our great nation. she reinvented monarchy for the modern age. she said yesterday, our lives changed forever. now we'll send a message. we are not afraid, she said that king charles now has an awesome responsibility. well,
2:29 pm
she'll be hearing from him and, and, and, and i think consoling him face to face and sending her condolences when they meet a buckingham palace later on. but the other important thing that's going to happen and you heard it there, the, the m p 's are going to continue to meet right, the way up until 10 p. m here london. time giving tribute. but that will be pause at at 6 p. m. that's 1900 g m t the the session wouldn't pause because that is when king charles is going to make his televised address to the people of the united kingdom and the people of the commonwealth. and it will be watched by people all around the world and of course will carry it here on our jazeera so in many ways, those, the most important events to come in the coming hours that meeting between the prime minister and king charles and then king charles doing a televised address to his people and also to morrow a special session of power and will be held. it's a man,
2:30 pm
a range of official engagements over the coming days. isn't it? isn't it, james? this is all been planned very, very carefully for years. although i think they've altered some of the plans, but in terms of what's going on in terms of the procedural stuff. some of it has to be done because their ancient traditions. this is a country that does things the way they've always been done. a most cases, what we're going to see on saturday, something called the session council, is going to meet the 1st time that has met. since that the queen took the throne back in and 1952 that consists of the privy council, which is a very ancient body, exists from the time when the king used rule all on his own before there was a parliament with any power and they were the advisers of the king, the privy council still exists and is still used for some purposes that will meet along with representatives of the countries where the weather, where the king.
