king charles, the 3rd will be formerly proclaimed as the british monarch in the coming hours. although he automatically became king the moment his mother, queen elizabeth the 2nd, died on thursday. a ceremony will make it official. it's just past 9 am in london. the thousands are expected to gather in the vicinity of buckingham palace. king charles will depart from there to saint james's palace just around the corner. it's the seat of the british monarchy, but it's where the proclamation will take place. on friday, king charles addressed the nation and the wider commonwealth. he praised his mother, queen elizabeth the 2nd for her unswerving devotion pledging to follow her example and serve with loyalty al jazeera were each helen's reports from london. oh, it's the moment this 73 year old man has spent his entire life preparing for waiting in that most peculiar of keys the line of royal succession at an age at which most people would be retired or retiring. king charles

a 3rd is finally doing what he was born to do. time will tell what sort of monarch he will be. but greeting the public like he did it. buckingham palace on friday was a warm and open way to start. then his 1st address to the nation as sovereign as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion. i too now solemnly pledged myself throughout the remaining time, god groundsmen, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. and wherever you may live in the united kingdom, or in the realms and territories across the world. and whatever may be your background or beliefs. i shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect, and love. as i have throughout my life as enthusiastically as charles has been

welcomed, britain is still a country in national mourning for a queen loved by millions. it will be a challenge for the new king to equal disaffection and reverence. since thursday evening crowns had been coming to pay their respects to elizabeth. as with the death of prince philip last year, the royal family trying to discourage people from bringing flowers down to the gates of buckingham palace. they are saying that if you do, you'll be guided elsewhere to one of the parks to put your flowers there where you can see that message has not gone through the accuser stretching all the way up the road past the palace. he can't hold the people back each with their own personal reasons for coming. please cable hang up on your left hand side to call you or spoke to the queen. allow your flowers. it's very sad. they have only known the queen and my mother was a refugee after the holocaust. and she came here in 1946 and was here for the queen. got married and when she was crowned and we've always been really

grateful to this country and for her great leadership for years, flowers, my dad is amazing. thank you very much. i remember i turned it off by not hospital in south africa. there was the year went by, she came to south africa. i was, there's a student nature just such a big day for everyone in south africa, you know, and mandela to day. and i just such a big day for everyone that the queen of las come to south africa, royal successions are all about continuity. even so, this is one of those few clear hinges in time where an established era is left behind. and a new one begins will reach alan's al jazeera london. let's go live to buckingham palace al jazeera jonah. how is the jonah? what's the mood there this morning? but just the last few moments, the clouds have parted. booking in palestine the base in sunlight,

the crowds beginning again to swell as they did the huge numbers on friday filing in down the mountain next to be here across hyde park and so on. and you won't be able to make it out perhaps, but the flag flying on that flag posted above. but the policy is not the union flag as it was yesterday. it is, in fact the royal standard, which is put in place when the monarch is in residence in prince charles. now king charles, the 3rd of course, arrived here from balmoral on friday. he greeted the crowds. he's now essentially home and we'll see him move from here. in the next half hour or so towards james's palace for the accession council ceremony, the story of the day really is about him. look at the newspapers. god save the king on the front page of the times. we've heard sections of the crowds here rehearsing . those words, formally, god save the queen. of course in the last couple of days today becomes official. and the daily telegraph, looking back at charles the 3rd,

1st televised speech to the nation last night. my darling mamma, thank you. and of course, in that speech she made much of queen elizabeth pledge as a young 21 year old in 1947 in 1900 in cape town. when she told the nation, she would serve it and the great imperial family for the rest of her life. and so of course she did, he said, but it was a life well lived, a promise with destiny kept. and charles renewed that promise to serve for the rest of the time that god gave him. and remember reflecting on this transition in the monarchy, it's so much more difficult, more challenging accession for charles coming as he does at his age. he is a man who has waited 70 years for the throne. he is a man with deeply held convictions and opinions that he's not always been quiet about about room affairs, agriculture, the environment, the rain forests, climate change. of course, he will now have to tone those views down and be the model of objectivity and

discretion. that of course, his mother was and as well as that when she ascended the throne, queen elizabeth the 2nd in 1952 met the 1st 15 prime ministers at the age of just 25. in charles, the 3rd with again meet the prime minister and all of her cabinet later today, he's 1st government and prime minister at the age of 73. can charles then to be formally proclaimed, as the british monarch in a ceremony, it gets on the way within the hour. john, what can we expect of the ceremony? well, the 1st thing you can expect is that for the 1st time, ever. not, not surprisingly, since the last time it happened was 70 years ago, it will be televised to the nation. this is an ancient ceremony. it dates back to normal times the privy council section of it, at least $200.00 people. so we'll gather the safe rooms at saint james's palace, not far from here. the 1st portion of the ceremony will not include charles in situ

. the privy council will discuss his accession. they will read his 1st declaration, prepare, prepare for him to sign, including an oath, to protect the church, the church of scotland in particular, and then he will enter the room. he will read his 1st declaration. he will sign those at about 10 gmc. the 1st principle proclamation of the king as king will be read out to the crowds outside some james's palace from the balcony overlooking for record of zeros jona hall reporting live from buckingham palace in central london or hundreds of columbus knowles of london is balmoral castle in scotland, it was often called the queen's favorite residence. it's where her body remains out as he was rob matheson has been outside balmoral. reports from beth vamos council is at the heart of the world family and it was at deeply at the heart of

queen elizabeth 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 the local villages and talking 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. a conference for the cream of the remaining adult model, but it will be on the son of transferred to holly, routed with at that point, a later group, recession through the oil mile in which is going to go up to lisel job federal which is to put the body test him to rest briefly before he's transferred to london and blocking the police on how to rest. they are ahead of the funeral arrangements

. it occurred to be carried carried out there. but in the meantime, people still come to vol. moral council gross still intending to pay their respects to the only mono, many of them have ever known. or can a queen elizabeth's time, as monarch also marked the decline of britain's imperial age. these the countries and territories that were part of the british empire when she took the throne in 1952. but in the decades that followed several countries, one their independence and many became republics. only 14 nations still recognize her as head of states. most of them will need to change their constitution as to refer to king charles the 3rd as head of state. all the caribbean countries of indicated that they want to become republics. barbados became one in 2021, some of called for reparations from the u. k. for slavery referendums, or removing the monarch of been held in australia, st. vincent, and the grenadines and to value. but none have passed cavity. there is a, an independent political analyst. he says that there are mixed opinions about the

british monarchy. across the caribbean, there is really a generational divide between those who been around pre independence in 1960 and dependence. but why do think though, is that among all the generations is that we are no beginning to understand gravitational shift taking place with the exit of the mon or, i mean, she's been in the state for about 2 years, whether directly or indirectly. however, depending on who you really ask in barbados defeat, it can range from badness as i've seen some form of sadness as justine with the older generation fact knowledge of the event at some level of indifference republic, 40 days to be happening, but the world whole soul doesn't necessarily have to be here. no, i think what have before, especially the younger generation, especially taken into account that discussion stick into account discussions in the region about the royal family and knowledge. and the knowledge of this world through the queen being iraq was a blonde for a long period of time. you know,

you're at a level of reverence and a level of respect that is bear with that here. if in the region, consternation here for so long period of time. but you know, because, you know, charles at this time is a new, the new kid on the block. in some cases, you know, i think help persons may feel me be closed. it might be dependent on how we respond for the overall challenges that are taking place. so for example, how can men not richard caribbean? so come here on al jazeera as ting charles the 3rd begins. his reign will take a closer look at the man of what kind of sovereign he'll be at another he was devastating floods in pakistan, a cosy outbreaks of water born diseases. ah, the journey has begun the faithful world copies on its way to cattle. hoop your

travel package to day holiday, the weather is a good deal dryer and brighter across the northwestern parts of europe. we do still have this little larry or a cloud here. i ship with a weather from which is making its way further east with this area of low pressure . that's the one that brought the heavy rain in across the u. k. over the last couple of days at wet weather, or grassy slide a little further eastward. so seen some heavy rain there coming into the low countries in germany. eastern parts of france in some really wet weather across that eastern side of europe as well through ports of poland, easing across into ukraine and remain. here they go for the u. k is fine and dry for the most part, one or 2 shower, still acquisition parts of england. scott and will be dry and fine. i think london, she stay drive little on the cloudy side. through the remainder of santa day, we go on into sunday more the way of sunshine there for england and scotland

western parts. we'll see some heavy rain sliding through the northern islands, western side of island, seeing some heavy burst if rain. some went by the 2 coming into work much of wales law. she dry by the state across the low countries pushing across france, spain and portugal essentially settled and sunny a few shows still there in the central parts of europe. with wet weather, which was the far east. i saw an official outline of the journey. this was an easy movement, the likes of which we have never seen. this is important. this is the story from breaking down the headlines to exposing the power is attempting to st. silence reporting. we're seeing media. freedom being threatened and attacked is basically criminalizing journalism. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covered. people have no idea what the source of use is that the game that rolled and that brought for the evidence on al jazeera lou.

ah, hello again. this is al jazeera. let's remind you of the main years. the cell people are once again gathering outside buckingham palace in london. and charles the 3rd will leave from there shortly to travel to some james's palace with his accession ceremony. attributes continue to pull in for the late queen elizabeth the 2nd from london to windsor about moral costs with scotland. people across the country, laying bouquets at attending service will in his many decades of prince of wales. charles was a somewhat controversial figure. unlike the queen, he made no effort to hide his views on the climate and other issues that is al

jazeera sonya gay go explained snell that you king's interests 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, spite of his mother's reign has left him becoming king charles at relatively advanced years himself. and charles may cause a 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 a public relations problem. diana died so tragedy in 1997. the challenge was how does he in a run common rehabilitate come emma, 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 up in the prince. well produced a well of cultural pub, kate charles's seeming detachment, a 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 off the bed and to express political opinions. when reporters have tried to ask his aids, have literally blocked them with reviving and prostitution a violent was exactly 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 has been closed. we don't know the details of the conversation, but 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, hey, what you think, or maybe this is which 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 circum strict,

and i'm sure that he will be as a woman, you cornel charles will also leave 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 regiment, and it does it. and it's an arguable that in terms of the brand of a house of charles as son william and his wife, catherine, 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 monarchy continues as it is now since the world. so any guy, yeah, go, i'll just sarah france of british life that remained unchanged the decades will now be transformed to mark the reign of king charles the 3rd. for the 1st time in 70 years, the you case national anthem will change its words from god save the queen to god save the king. charles's image will replace his mother's on new coins, bank notes, and stamps. it's traditional for the new monarch to face the opposite direction to their predecessor. sir charles's image will face left because the queen faced right at the roll cipher will change. that's the monogram used on everything from mailboxes to police uniforms. currently, it features the queen's elizabeth, the 2nd regina stamp, below an image of the crown. there will also be legal changes. senior lawyers will become the king's council rather than the queen's counsel,

and the government will be referred to as her majesty's government. his majesty's government, i'm sorry, and not her majesty's one of the special session of the u. k. parliament and peace of paid tribute to queen elizabeth the current and former prime ministers shared memories of the late monarch as al 0 james bass report at westminster, the bruising, daily business of politics has been put on hold. instead, a special session of the house of commons for the nations politicians to pay their respects to the $1.00 person in the country who never allowed herself to be political. leading the tributes, the new prime minister, who was given the job by the queen in her last ever official engagement. just 2 days before she died, she was the rock on which modern britain was built. she came to the throne at just 25 in a country that was emerging from the shadow for he bequeathed a modern dynamic nation that has grown and flourished under her rang opposition

lead a kiss. tama said she was britain's greatest ever monarch, and he hoped her death would bring the nation back together. we must always remember one of the great lessons about queens 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 unite us, rather than those which divide us. yet, there was some of that unity evident wolf laughs, and applause greeted a speech by boris johnson, who earlier this week was forced to quit his prime minister or to being ousted by members of his own party. any 3 days ago, when she saw off her 14th prime minister and welcomed her 15th and i can tell you, in an audience, she was as radiant and as knowledgeable and as fascinated by politics as ever i can

remember. and as wise in her advice as any one i know if not wiser, another former prime minister who became deeply unpopular over breaks it, delighted the commons with tales of her time with the late queen. teresa may recall the picnic with the royal family balmoral where she been asked to lay out the food . i picked up some cheese, put it on a plate and was transferring it to the table. the cheese fell on the floor. i had a split 2nd decision to make awe with my things up the tea on the plate and put it on the table. and i turned round to see that my every move ah, watch very carefully. i her majesty the queen. i looked at her, she looked tiffany,

and she just smiled. ah, and the teens remained on the table. in recent years, the atmosphere and the house of commons has been hostile, with the visions over issues like wrecks in the pandemic and the energy crisis. but in this moment of national remembrance, there was for once unity goodwill grief, but also some laughter. james bayes al jazeera london who's russia is deploying war troops to the northeast and hockey region. as the ukranian counter offensive makes gains retaking dozens of towns and villages. the russian backs administration in the region admits the ukrainian advance has been rapid president followed him as lensky says, his forces of re taken more than 30 settlements in khaki. if that fighting continues in the eastern don bass of the south. and then each has willing to claim,

as in nearly up to now the armed forces. if the crime have liberated and taken control of about 30 settlements in the khaki region in a number of regions in the area, activities in checking and securing the territory or ongoing, gradually we're taking over new settlements every way we returning the ukrainian flag and safety for our people don't like the u. n. as nuclear watchdog says that shelling as knocked out a power supply, the ukrainian city of n, a harder it feeds electricity to the russian held supper as she a nuclear power plant. the i. e. a has been wanting of a growing threat to the plant and says the operator may have to switch off the last react to that. there's been fighting around the facility for days, the head of the i. e. a says shelling at the plant must stop. the shelley he's putting in danger operators and their families, making it difficult to adequately staff the plant together. these has

significantly increased the risk of a nuclear accident. let me be clear. the shelling around separate gen, nuclear power plant must stop, and a nuclear safety and security protection zone agreed immediately. a nuclear power plant can never be a porn of wall. the conflict and ukraine is increasingly being false in the skies with drones, but it's not just military great equipment that's being launched. ukrainian forces are making use of store bought consumer drones, as well out as here as gabriella was under reports from cave ukrainian soldiers in the bush. their tools of war not shoulder mounted rocket launchers, but instead remote controls for their drones flying above their learning how to pilot the drones and surveil enemy positions. most of the soldiers are about to go

to the front lines of the war. so they prefer to not be identified as the objective of this rain as if finding air and lily tree, or some am logistic objects that we air can destroy them. these soldiers are at a military drone pilot training centers. we were given permission to film on condition. we don't reveal its location using lightweight consumer may drones in war is not new. but what is different is how the ukrainians are not only using them for surveillance, but also modifying them for use as a deadly weapon. like this popular drone that costs only a couple $1000.00, but the ukrainians attached to small homemade bombs to it. held together to the drone by a clamp made by a 3 d printer video show how they have been used in this war to deadly effect.

here, near crane, they have 3 drawn training centers just like this. and every week they graduate 100 soldiers who passed through this. essentially, ukraine is developing a small army of drone operators. but the russians are also using drugs as well. that's why soldiers here are also trained how to hide from the types of drones. they are also learning to pilot or about them, you know, working on the quality, run the quantity of the students. we've seen the excellent work, but they've made some mistakes. but with this preparation with the soldiers go to the front lines of the war, they'll be the best. it's a war game of hide and seek with deadly consequences. gabriel xander al jazeera ukraine. in pakistan, the un secretary general antonio garage has said that the country needs massive financial support is visiting sind province to see the devastation caused by the

worst flooding. in decades, agencies say that one of the biggest threats is water born disease, and children living in camps a particularly vulnerable. the u. n. is children's agency estimates that more than 3000000 young people need urgent life saving support. treasures appealing to the instructional community to provide more aid pakistan needs. massive financial supports to response to these crises that have costed, according to some estimates i've heard to day about $30000000000.00 and counting. and that's, that supports is entirely necessary and it is not a method of solidarity. it's a matter of justice. we'll take a short break here on al jazeera, but we will back in just a moment with more on the proclamation of king charles the 3rd in london. ah.
