the 3rd speech was an inclusive message for the world. this was a cost, the most important speech, all formerly prince charles, his life. now king charles, he was tasked with the responsibility of summing up the mood of the nation, but also mourning the loss of his mother as the head of the royal family as well. time here in the u. k is measured slightly differently to on the pass of the world, not just in days, months and years, but in iraq is an epoch. and we use the phrase end of an error for a loosely often. but in this case, it really genuinely ease at the end of an era, the end of the 2nd elizabeth in age. and we all know, of course, that after 70 years on the throne, this isn't going to be something that king charles will be able to replicate. but what he hinted at in his speech is that he will be a continuity monarch. he said that he wanted to carry on many of the value traditions that his mother had embodied and preserved for so many years. and that

almost hinted at the possibility that he was very aware of. some of the control sees that the world family had been mired in the past and that was the clear distinction between what the role was as prince of wales and what the world role now is as the sovereign. another thing that really stood out was that he said he wanted to serve people of all backgrounds and all beliefs realizing, of course, that this is a modern country, a diverse country. and if the rural family wants to remain relevant for many years to come in east to be representative of all of that diversity across the u. k. cannon's fired $96.00 shots marking each year of the queen's life. 7 great, ah, bells also told, and cathedrals and town churches as part of a long planned, carefully organized series of events. people in britain are now observing 10 days of national mourning for their longest serving monarch wrought. madison has been

outside balmoral castle and scotland, where the queen's body remains the same old council. is it the hordes of the world family and it was that deeply at the heart of queen elizabeth the 2nd. she came here as a young girl and continued to spend her summers here, pretty much all the way through her life. it is a place that the role of family regards as private, as relaxing very often the family received out walking around the grounds with very little security. already were seen driving through the streets of local villages and talking to, to local people, which very much endeared them to the local community and made the community feel that they were very protective of the royal family. the coffin for the cream of the remains. here i tell them all, but it will be on the son of transferred to holy rooted us life. at that point, the later great recession through the royal mile in which i didn't go up to the st . joe's ephito, which is to put the body, has been to rest briefly before it is transferred to london and buckingham palace

on health to rest there ahead of the funeral arrangements it occurred to be carried carried out there. but in the meantime, people still come to balboa, capital gross, still intending to pay their respects to the only monica of many of them have ever known. all right, let's take a look at what to expect and the days ahead. on saturday, king charles the 3rd will be formally declared, the new sovereign by what's known as the accession counsel. he'll then meet the prime minister again and the cabinet. on sunday, the queen's body will be taken to the palace of holly rude house in edinburgh. a procession will take place the day after and the public may get to file past her coffin and saint joseph's cathedral. her body will then be taken to london on tuesday and from wednesday shall lie in state for 4 days for people to pay their respects. senior royals will stand guard at some stage in a tradition known as the vigil of the princes. her funeral is expected to take place at westminster abbey. on monday, the 19th of september,

2 minutes of silence will be held nationwide. queen elizabeth the 2nd will then be laid to rest in a chapel in windsor castle, alongside her parents, sister margaret, and husband, prince philip in his many decades as prince of wales. charles was a controversial figure on like the queen. he made no effort to hide his views on the climate and other issues, and the sonia diego explains the new king's political leanings may have an impact on his reign. he has been waiting for the longest time. there has never been any doubt of prince charles's desire to become king, but the sheer span of his mother's reign has left him becoming king charles at relatively advanced years himself. and charles may cause it will controversial figure as head of state. the queen elizabeth the 2nd did married 1st to diana spencer. he began having an affair with camilla parker bowles before diana's tragic death. that in itself was of public relations problem. diana died so tragedy in

1997. the challenge was how does he in a run common rehabilitate camina who was his mistress? and the answer to that was years of painstaking work emphasizing her good qualities. the fact that she had them he had so much in common like a lot together, they were similar ages had similar programs of even the prince well produced. a world of conflict of kate charles's seeming detachment to perceived aloofness, have frequently led to accusations that he is out of touch with his subjects. and that will matter far more once he takes the throne, creating sustainable fruits. but there are other concerns too. for many years, he has been writing private letters to government ministers, urging their interest in political issues close to his heart. these range from medicines, homeopathy, which is a favorite to fish stocks, to the power of corporations over farmers. convention states that members of the

royal family of the bid and to express political opinions. when reporters have tried to ask his aids, have literally blocked them with reviving and prostitution by land, by 3 lackeys like that. so as king will he be able to keep his opinions to himself? by tradition, the prime minister visits the monarch every week to tell her or him what's going on in government. it's only supposed to be an exercise in explaining policy and no more. a key question surrounding charles is rain is whether he will reserve the right to tell the prime minister exactly what he thinks about decisions being taken by elected politicians. government, perhaps benco's doors. we don't do the digital conversations, but we even know the remote for conversation. so maybe that has to be opened up so as you can see, what is a good thing? that's a healthy thing or maybe there's a, there's a glitch. it shouldn't happen from the sound of it. he has been advised to keep

quiet. he knows very well what is expected of him as king. he has strong views on things in national life. that's true. but i think he's also got a very strong awareness from an early age, from the queen, and from his own training and his own judgment. that is a constitutional monarch. you have to be a little bit more circumspect and i'm sure that he will be as a woman, you cornel charles and also li, behind an enormous business empire in the south west of england. it's worth more than a $1000000000.00 and has been accused of helping drive local traders out of business . and that perhaps is a particular concern for supporters of the monarchy. which as of now, is a large majority in the u. k. the question is whether he can maintain that popularity. queen elizabeth kept her support during many years when the behavior of her family raised many eyebrows. the code of the richmond. and it does. and it's an

arguable that in terms of the brands of the house of windsor, charles, his son, william and his wife katherine, are seen as a more exciting proposition, more glamorous than a man who seems often to prefer his own company to that of others. charles has no doubt had many years to dwell on these things. his choices will help determine whether support for the molecule continues as it is now since the world. so any guy, yeah, go, i'll just, sarah. still ahead on al jazeera will have reaction from australia as king charles . the 3rd becomes the new head of the commonwealth. and in other news, 80000 football fans get a glimpse of what the world cup final and popular will be like ah

oh, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories. this our the united kingdom's new monarch charles 3rd has addressed the nation and the wider commonwealth for the 1st time as king. he praised his mother, queen elizabeth for her unswerving devotion. earlier he met crowds of well wishers at buckingham palace. as the u. k. begins a 10 day morning period, queen elizabeth, the 2nd 70 year reign has been commemorated and celebrated crowds of continued to gather outside buckingham palace and bell moral scotland to pay their respects. queen elizabeth's rise to power also marked the decline of britain's imperial age. these are the countries and territories that were under the sway of the british

empire when she took the throne in 1952, either his colonies protectorate mandates, or places where the queen was head of state. but in the decades that followed, several countries won their independence, and many became republics. only 14 other countries still recognized her as had of state. most of them will need to change their constitutions to refer to king charles the 3rd as head of state. all the caribbean countries have indicated they want to become republics. barbados became one in 2021. some have also called her reparations from the u. k. for slavery, referenda on removing the monarch have also been held in australia, st. vincent and the grenadines and hulu, but none have passed. all right, let's bring in more kinney. he's a professor at australian studies institute at the australian national university. he joined us via sky from cambra, are good to have you with us. what is the reaction there so far to king charles as the new monarch? me. how popular is he in australia and how to most australians view king charles versus how they viewed queen elizabeth?

yes, well, it's a very interesting question that we don't really know. we do know that the queen herself, was held in very high regard personally and as a monarch. and that is trying to, has had this long term attachment to, to britain and to the constitutional monarchy. as you mentioned earlier, had a chance to vote itself into a state of being a republic back in 1999, but all the states voted against that. so that was a kind of a missed opportunity i guess. for republicans, the question now is will let change now that the queen has left the throng, that's the sort of big question and it does turn on things like whether king charles is going to be as popular, have as much or authority and respect as, as queen elizabeth, the 2nd and mark you just mentioned that referendum that was held in 1999. of course it's really ins right now. we're in the process of mourning queen elizabeth,

but how much has her death also reawaken this? this long standing debate in australia over the creation of a republic and ending the country's association with the monarchy. well, it's kind of an obvious debate to have because even some of the republicans like malcolm turnbull, the former prime minister who led that republican referendum pushed back in 999. even he had declared himself and elizabeth and republican, which is to say that he'd accepted that republicans didn't really have much chance of getting this to buy moving while lizbeth remind on the trying. now, of course that she's gone. inevitably, the debate arises again, but i think people are going to be very careful not to be doing it too quickly, as you say, that this period of morning is a great deal of sadness across the country at queen elizabeth passing. and i think it would be against the interests of the republican cause to be seen to be moving with too much haste in firing up the debate about the republic. yeah,

and mark what you're saying right now essentially was echoed by the australian prime minister anthony albany. he had spoken in the past of supporting this movement toward the establishment, possibly ever a public. but just on friday, he said that today's a day for one issue and one issue only, which is to pay tribute to queen elizabeth the 2nd. do you expect that his stance will change or, or will it be more of look, the time is not right? just yet, and maybe we'll explore this further down the road. i think that's probably right, but there is another effect during this as well. and that is that there is a referendum planned by the government of a stranger in relation to 1st nations peoples, and recognizing them in the constitution and putting into the constitution, what's called an indigenous voice, or a 1st nations voice to parliament. a mechanism for consultation with 1st nations peoples, now light, a government which is strongly republican, inclined

a relatively new government niggley, but it has already made clear that it would not be proceeding with the republic for dealing with his voice question. there's a view that putting to referendum questions on significant matters to, to try and bite as of the same time could lead to both of those matters. falling short of the requirement for a majority of both in a majority of the 6 states. so there's a kind of a technical consideration here as well as the values question about the republic. i do think the republic question will come up, but it's going to be dealt with sequentially with the, the voice to parliament to issue dealt with 1st. all right, mark kinney, professor australian studies institute at the australian national university. great to get your perspective. thanks so much. thank you. mohammed rushes, deploying more troops. harkey as ukrainian forces conduct a major counter offensive in towns and villages in the east. the head of the
