5:04 pm
they were malick editor james base standing by and james charles became king the moment his mother passed. but this is the, the kind of traditional finally in, if you like. yes, if it is it really a rubber stamp, but it's a very ceremonial rubber stamp that you've seen even at a time of grief. the brits are known for their pomp and pageantry, and you saw that. that's because that's the way this is always been done. but the interesting thing is we actually saw it this time, it was their broadcast, live around the world on television. in the past these, this, this process, this, this meeting of the session council, mainly the privy council, was something that happened behind closed doors and the public didn't see it until that sudden sounding of the trumpets and the proclamation that you also saw announcing to everyone that there is a new king and this is how it had to be done in ancient times because there wasn't
5:05 pm
modern communication. there simply was someone standing, making that proclamation and then other proclamations across the land. think it sort of shows you where we've moved and the 70 years that queen elizabeth was on the throne. now of course we were communicating by shouting proclamations, but even a few years ago, remember you walked down the streets. we were selling newspapers and that's how you learn the news. someone shouting the headlines of the newspapers, they tried to sell them. and of course, in the queen's reign, it's completely changed from, from the very beginnings of television. and her coronation was one of the big 1st televised events in the world to the internet, twitter an instant communications which we didn't have 70 years ago. so really historic that we got to see this to day. an important day, a 1st day of business proving, i think, to everyone, i think that's the purpose of his ancient ceremony, that he is now the king of, of, of the united. done, but also the king of 14 other countries where he is
5:06 pm
a head of state. this is fascinating to observe. and after all of that's a king, chas returned to bucking palace behind you. and there is crowds of people can continue to come along and pay their condolences. huge numbers of people coming or you can see the behind me, they coming from different directions because you can approach buckingham palace from different underground stations all sing, all of these people of all ages including little children carrying their flowers and inside the palace. business is getting on the way for the new king. he's been meeting the prime minister. he's been meeting the cabinet. he's been meeting at the archbishop of canterbury because he has a, a religious role. the king of england is also the head of the church of england. so business has started already at a time course that still a time of national morning. but where as you watch all those pictures of what's
5:07 pm
happened here today, you got to remember that the key person claimed the key role was king charles. and of course this for him is a time of great personal morning to here's the data right james. so thanks for that, james base there of buckingham palace or let's add up to scotland now to bow moral castle. and we can speak to a correspondent at rob matheson and rob a little bit earlier. we saw members of the royal family coming out to have a look at all the the array of flowers and to she, the people who pay their respects to the queen whose body still lies at bow morrow . and amongst those members, the royal family came out was prince andrew. and that significant i think it is. and the reason is significant is because prince andrew, his personal life has been the stuff of headlines over the last few years. and there has been a significant at distancing between the royal family and prince andrew during that those proceedings. but however, we saw him as part of that group that you were talking about who came to look at
5:08 pm
the flowers that have been handed over by people. well wishers and those wishing to pay their respects over the last day or so to read the notice is to, to read them. are they the messages that had been left there? and the suggestion perhaps is that although there is that upon separation in the family, that this was such a significant occasion for the death of queen elizabeth the 2nd, the death of a mother and a grand mother. that it was important for the family to put those distinctions to one side and bring the family together for a chance to mourn. collectively, obviously, it will be interesting to see what happens in the future, whether this is a more permanent arrangement. but for now, it is interesting to see that he, that he is at least for the short term being regarded as part of the family morning process. and rob was so what happens now? the queen's body, as i say, is still at bell moral castle remains her for now, but i think tomorrow she she will be moved. right. that's why the cleans
5:09 pm
coffin has been in the council, which is just on the road behind b am. but we understand that it's also been an opportunity for members of staff from their immediate families to pay their respects to queen elizabeth the 2nd out whilst she lies within balmoral castle. but you're quite right on sunday. the coffin of the queen is going to be moved by rhodes, down to the edinburgh to the palace of holy root, and it'll rest there over night. and then the following day there is expected to be a procession carrying the coffin along the royal mile in edinburgh. to since giles is church since and judges cathedral, excuse me. and in the cathedral there is going to be a special service, held the loss to be known. what is known as held. what is known as the vigil of the princes. that is, when the princes of the wall family stand guard around the coffin, it will of course, be interesting to see whether not prince andrew is part of that process. and
5:10 pm
shortly after that or a day after that, the body, when the coffin will be transported to london for the remainder of the funeral arrangement, sir, to be carried out. but it's been a very significant moment here at bar moral because of course, that's the 1st time that the royal the remaining, while family members have been seen in public. they've been staying in balmoral for the last couple of nights. and certainly since the death of the queen on. ready thursday afternoon, and this is the 1st time that the public has actually had a chance to see them. so a very significant woman for them. also a very significant moment, of course, for the people who've been lining the streets here to waiting to place more flowers and more tributes at the gates of the council. and he replaced that to rob munson reporting that from bell moral. let's bring in eden's he's a role historian joins is now from london at good to have you with us. it's
5:11 pm
interesting is now because we saw at during a king charles's speech yesterday on friday, he offered this olive branch at to harry and megan ab saying, how much they were loved. i one day is prince andrew. more difficult proposition? i think prince andrew is a more difficult proposition over the last 2 years. both the new king charles and prince william, we are, we are told have sought to essentially cut prince andrew out of the, the royal family for fear that he's continuing association with them on a key risk bringing it in to disgrace. this was because of the events of 2019 accusations, leveled it at andrew because of his close friendship with the convicted sex offender jeffrey stun gillan maxwell as well. and of course,
5:12 pm
that bombshell interview with the babies emily mate las in november 2019, which was really a dramatic fall from grace prince andrew. his public image was really tarnished by that, by that interview and the, the ongoing discussion in around the court case. and the final settlement of i side of court lead to questions being asked about who was paying the the several millions to to virginia. if ray, who was andries accuser. so it's been a very difficult 2 or 3 years for prince andrew. what we do now is that threaten this period of tribulation for him. his, his mother lives, but the 2nd nevertheless, sought to protect him rather dramatically earlier on this year at a service of thanksgiving for the job. because at him bra,
5:13 pm
it was prince andrew who was his mother, died the danny at westminster abbey accompanying her. and we might suggest now that that was, may be a rare mis step on the part of the, the form of monarch trying to shield her 2nd son from from chris. but as we've seen, he remains this. he remains this complicated figure. i don't anticipate that we're going to witness any rehabilitation of andrew as a, as a working member of the british royal family. and as a member of the sort of jumping, as you might expect, that given the circumstances that he would be permitted to come out and make his presence. felton inspect the flowers, given the fact that his mother is not as body as lie in belmore cos. exactly, i think he's been sort of granted a temporary reprieve in the sense that he's, he's allowed to join other family members generated demonstrating his essential
5:14 pm
appreciation for the condolences that have been extended to the, to the royal family by members of the public. and i think also we're going to, we will see him see more of him now through until the funeral of list for the 2nd. i think what remains remains the scene is whether he continues to have a kind of public visibility post the funeral. i don't expect that that will be the case. changing focus a little bit. it's been a day of some fanfare in london. there's net, it's kind of celebration in a way of king charles that being confirmed as king. but then again, it'll get the other way when it now is we lead up to the queen's funeral in the coming days? yes, we're going through a fascinating period really where we move from events really in london focusing on the new monarch back to scotland is focusing on the on, on the queen. and we can,
5:15 pm
we can expect this kind of touring in frederick over the course of the next week. really, we're going, especially with the queen's body, going to be, it's going to be transported to london too, so that she can then lie in states, westminster hall. and at the same time, the new king is going to be embarking on a tour of his, of his kingdom. he's going to be going across england, scotland. well, i think he's even planning to travel to northern ireland to really reach out to meet his people, demonstrate his interest in the lives of his subjects as the new moment. one thing he became king, the moment his mother passed. and then you've had the great proclamations, today's a lot passenger and everything saved. and then they'll be a combination in 3 months time. whenever probably next year at this point. what, why is that necessary? that coronation wraps it you right? z. the crime never dies. it's what we term as historians,
5:16 pm
the demise of the crime. the crime of the sovereignty embodied by the reigning monic, immediately passes to the, to the next in line the, to the throne. the moment the, the mortal monarch dies. so the sovereignty is retained in terms of what we've seen over the last 48 hours. we've essentially witnessed a series of public events including the king's 1st speech. this morning's accession . cancel the proclamation as a way of making visible and meaningful. this transition from one rain to the next. and we can anticipate the carnation, you rightly point not side. and the whole point of the carnation is that it's a sacred christina event involving anointing with holy oil. it is the anointing. that is the most sacred element of the coronation, fascinatingly back in 953. it was the one part of the, of the, of the event that was not broadcast. live to viewers in britain and around the
5:17 pm
world. it was kept shielded from public view because it's, it holds this kind of mystery. we will, we will look at it. we will look ahead to whether this, this time, next year, whenever the coronation is eventually held. possibly the anointing might be the screen for the 1st time. be interesting. what do you think we've learned in these very, very early days, about the prospect of the relative king charles and how he will tackle being king. we've learned quite a lot in the space really of just 24 hours. i think there was a loss of meaning packed into his 1st king speech. last night. it was made at night at 6 o'clock. he spoke warmly affectionately of his mother, his mother's reputation and legacy, as, as if you like the nation's leading public servant. he talked warmly of her. the
5:18 pm
example that she says is a constitutional monic putting duty and the good of others ahead of her own personal gratification. and he then spoke about how he would seek to follow and emulate that model. and i think that we had a, an indication really from a new king as to what kind of money he wants to be. i think he's going to be stepping back from some of the, the more political platforms that he, that he stood on as prince of wales and will approach the role of monarch in a more neutral, nonpartisan way to ensure that he, he doesn't court control the c so the monarchy remains uncontested, just uncontroversial as was the case with this, but the 2nd day. oh, incredibly illuminating. do appreciate your analysis of this situation. thanks very much. data owens that. thank you. thank you. good to speak. well, the 2nd proclamation took place in the financial heart of the nation,
5:19 pm
the city of london, god saved the king. the yes said this is the area known as a square mile where they will bind the stablish their headquarters, but the tradition of a 2nd population that goes by century. ready can inherit a personal fortune with hundreds of millions of dollars from his mother, queen elizabeth atlanta from oregon during the queen, duke in the printer, where each minute calling themselves and the queen kept one does not doing it. she famously never carried cash despite being the face of it throughout her long reign, my government will continue to work. queen elizabeth was one of britain's wealthiest women, a monarch landowner, property tycoon, collector and investor, with an estimated personal fortune of about $500000000.00. the queen and the monarch have
5:20 pm
a due role. one is the head of state in which everything is disclosed and therefore all the financials are freely available to. she also had a role as a private individual and as a private individual, financial information is not necessarily to be disclosed to the public. her own wells came in part from her mother's estate properties including balmoral castle and scotland, a vast stamp collection artworks and beloved resources. i am going to add one way as monarch. she owned one of the biggest property portfolios in the u. k. the crown estate includes parks, shopping centers, offices, business and residential property, profits from the estate, which is an independent commercial business, got paid into the u. k. treasury, which in turn took 25 percent of the profits and paid them to the queen. this is called the sovereign grant. privately she receive money from another estate,
5:21 pm
the duchy of lancaster, which has held entrust, the sovereign. it's worth an estimated $682000000.00. the queen started paying tax voluntarily on its income in 1992 in 2017 and investigation called the paradise papers found about $13000000.00 had been invested by the duchy . legally offshore. in a caribbean tax haven, she did nothing wrong. it wasn't illegal, but most people for that all her investments when in britain and they were in blue chip companies and it did tanisha image of being whiter than white. it looked as though she was acting like a city fund manager. it's unlikely will ever really know how well the british queen was the psalm. her wealth represented an outdated institution of monarchy for her support as though she was a valuable asset worth the coins and notes. she appeared on lori challenge,
5:22 pm
how to 0. the ukraine says, rushing forces have retreated from the eastern city of his him as his troops close in on the just go up the counter offensive. it's made significant gains in the east and keep region retake and dozens of towns and villages in the past week. meanwhile, russia is deployed more trips to shore up as defenses. the most go back to administration in the caf keefe region admit the ukranian advance has been rapid. let's get more on this, gabriel. it's under his funny developments from the outskirts of cape and gape. so these significant ukrainian military advances didn't last just how significant walking tell us the last 24 hours have probably seen the most significant ukrainian military gains against the russians since april. and that's when the ukrainians were able to expel the
5:23 pm
russians from the suburbs outside of keith. this is significant what the ukrainians have been able to accomplish with this speed of this blitz in the north east. now how to keep region. it's now in bout day 3 of this now, and it has been continuing to pick up steam in it and it how fast it is moving. ukraine's have recaptured dozens, now towns and villages and even cities as large as 50000 people. and what's happening is it's the russian that poorly trained and poorly equipped russian frontline units and some of the settlements were quickly overrun by the ukrainians . and the better trained and better equipped and more entrenched russian positions in more establish cities. many of those units appear to have just simply packed up and, and retreated run away. in the face of this blitz from the ukrainians,
5:24 pm
it's highly significant, particularly as ukrainians push east, pushing the russians essentially back into the dorm boss or area and the ukrainians are about to recapture. it appears the city of zoom, city of 55000 people. it was a key hub before the russians, a key strong point, creve military, strong point for the russians. for many months, it took the russians at 6 weeks of fighting to get a hold of that city. and now it appears that the ukrainians will have re taken it in pretty much a 12 to 24 hours time frame. so it gives you an idea of how the tide is certainly turning ukrainians clearly have the momentum in this battle right now in the northeast as they continue to push the russian forces back any indication gabriel, of, of how the russians might respond. well, they haven't. so far at all,
5:25 pm
their response has been being overrun and simply leaving their positions. that's what we've been seeing in the last 24 to 36 hours. at one point when it seemed that the ukrainians were pro, getting close to close to many major cities such as zoom, it appeared that the russians were rushing in heavy equipment and more troops. but it was simply too little, too late. the russians clearly have been quite caught flat footed by this, by this offensive, by the ukrainians. and it's very clear at this point that the entire russian frontline defenses in the northeast have either collapsed or in the process of collapsing in the face of this ukranian offensive order. that girl is under reporting that from the outskirts of keith in ukraine. it's been nearly 3 years since the syrian government last allowed the u. n. to deliver aid to the iraq band refugee camp. it's an a no man's land between the jordanian iraqi and syrian
5:26 pm
borders. and now the 10000 displays people who live in work ban according on the international community for help. they run out of basic goods that has this report . your key needs urgent medical help, but she can't get it here in the rookie band camp and se syria, her parents have taken to social media to ask for help. so far without success, blockaded by the syrian government since 2018. the thousands of displaced people living in rock ban feel they have been largely forgotten by the world located along a demilitarized zone, close to the border between jordan and iraq. the only way out is to territory under the control of the syrian regime. for many, including akins parents, who are members of the opposition pre syrian army, leaving is not an option. mostly majority have an unknown fate,
5:27 pm
but we don't know what will happen tomorrow. we are afraid that the blockade will be tightened even further. for years we have been appealing for safe passage to another country or a position control territory in the north, as well as some harsh conditions at the camp, or why tens of thousands left over the years, even if it meant returning to government areas without guarantees, they'd be safe, human rights groups have documented dozens of those who return being detained, and tortured. we don't know how to help them and you and ever knew, and there's one brahmas didn't change out of an end to this just so that they won't solution and job to to, to, to i'm not area for years, the only lifeline for the estimated 8 to 10000 people there has been smuggling roots that some agencies use to bring in basic supplies like water. the
5:28 pm
last time the government in damascus allowed the united nations to deliver aid was in 2019. it has been accused of using a there's a weapon of war and a tactic to star people into submission. not in a civil war, none have father. we live a difficult life and very bad living conditions. we like to basic necessities, including water. we are thirsty, we walk 4 to 5 kilometers to get a kilo of rice for our kids. we are not living up with. their cries for help are not new, but they're growing louder as conditions and options all the worse and for those left inside him and i was just gonna show theater to pakistan. now where the un secretary general and tend to get tara says, the country needs massive financial support. he's visiting sin province to see the devastation caused by the worst flooding. in decades, agencies say one of the biggest threats is waterborne disease and children live in
5:29 pm
camps are particularly vulnerable, send beds. robbie has more now from a hinge that are in such a un team has been a turing parts of flood effected pakistan in baluchistan and send province meeting with those that are living in or near the flood zone. trying to assess the damage for themself, trying to get a sense of how people are suffering and trying to cope with the ongoing crisis. and their message to the world is very clear. it is time to step in and help focus on. now my job here is rather simple as so as the 2nd generals to come here to see what are the urgent needs that we need to, to talk to the world about. and those urgent needs are life saving assistance right now for those people that you've been talking about. and then a really serious process of leveraging international support for adaptation for resilience, for livelihood development. so that these people have some way to go home to and
5:30 pm
not just survive. that's the message that we have come to to see and to look at. and i'm sure that's what the secretary will take away with them. now the human suffering is unparalleled in its scope, but the delegation also visited us, go with heritage site here. it's in pockets fund when it is thousands of years old . it allows pakistan to trace its roots thousands of years into the past, and it has been effected by the heavy rains that have inundated this part of the country. parts of this site have been washed away. bricks have been collected there that have been washed away by the heavy rains and we see mounds of rubble everywhere. so there has been damage to this site. the folks that operate this area say that it could have been much worse, that it could have been far more serious, but that they were spared. the rain spared the original structures that stand here . so what we're being told is that the conservation work that has been done here over the years. that is what is suffered.
