8:04 pm
died to get here to edinburgh much longer than normal. but that's because the route was extended. tell people to share in a collective sense of loss, a collect of sense of celebration. and really a collective sense of history is their former monex car went to aberdeen and then down the main population centers of the east coast. through the city of dundee, the city of discovery is it's no one an answer person, an over such a well known landmarks as the queen size crossing which it straddles the fuck, the 4th linking, fight to edinburgh, and then down the royal mile. and finally, back here accompanied the entire journey by the princess royal princess and the queen's daughter who cut cedars at the body was taken in 2 dead de memorial hall here that the main hall had the throne room. i will, it will stay over night before to morrow. at there is a service of thanksgiving that said, giles cathedral,
8:05 pm
not far from the palace. it's on that. what is known as the royal mile on the way to edinburgh castle, and that procession from here will be led by king charles, of course, the, the queen's eldest son, and the man who inherited the throne. on his mother's death on thursday. allan, you mentioned a connective sense that the queen was very open about her affection for scotland throughout her reign at how did the people of scotland as a whole feel about as you think. in general, i think people feel the loss for many people. you know, if, if you're under the age of 17, she is the only queen you have ever known. i am the only monarch and she was a presence in your life. even a, particularly over the last 2 years when things were incredibly difficult, with corona virus and the lockdown of many people felt heartened when she gave this speech and said we will meet again. and that was a real people felt
8:06 pm
a tunneling point for the country that there were some sort of renew top and she touched people over the country. and that sort of weird here in scotland as well. they felt a particular affection because scotland is in her dna quite literally. her mother came from a scottish family, she spent many summers, both at bar mortal, and at her grandparents house, at glance castle on t site. and she loved her time here in scotland. so people feel a real sense of loss, sir, for someone who was so well respected and well loved in scotland, but there is a warning for the royal family as well. you remember on saturday, charles was proclaimed king by a meeting or of the proclamation council in london. and then that proclamation was repeated in the capitals of wales in cardiff, in northern ireland to belfast. and here in scotland in edinburgh, at 12 o'clock to day, and during the reading of that proclamation at the market cross,
8:07 pm
which is not far away from where i'm sunny again on the royal mile there where some building, when people said, god save the king and it's a reminder that while the monarchy me pass from mother to son, the affection that the monarch is held in isn't always so transferable. live in adam or for us and in many thanks. well, as alan mentioned, britain's that new monarch king charles a 3rd was proclaimed the monarchy, scotland wales and northern ut. good. okay. ah. in edinburgh, the proclamation was followed by gunston each and the military band playing the anthem. god said the king, similar ceremonies took place in belfast and that card of castle earlier proclamations were held in other parts of the commonwealth, including new zealand and australia, while alive now to hurry for set, who's in london outside, buckingham palace and harry the focus very much on scotland today,
8:08 pm
but what about the new king charles with hearing about that and, and his engagement well, yes, i'm very different from the scene we just had from edinburgh there. it's a very pleasant evening just after 6 pm here outside buckingham palace and the crowds are still frogging in from the various public transport stops through the parks, through the streets, wanting to be here during this time of morning and as for the new king's official engagements, they been very much focused on the commonwealth. he met the secret general of the commonwealth barrenness, scotland. he met the 14 high commissioners that the chief diplomatic representatives of the commonwealth countries of which he remains head of state. and of course, the commonwealth was a very important organisation institution. as far as his mother, the late queen was concerned, as she oversaw really that the final breaking up of the british empire. and during that, she put a lot of energy into trying to form and sustain and keep relevant this organization
8:09 pm
or a part of braiden's projection of, of soft power and a lot of importance for her personally as well. it said, and so that is another responsibility that now transfers to her son the new king. and it's at a time when there are some strains and tensions, especially in some of the caribbean nations of the commonwealth, there are pretty active republican movements there most recently. and 2020 barbados no longer had the monarch as head of state. and so that's something that he will have to manage. one of the many responsibilities that he will now had to take on. we saw him leave buckingham palace a short time ago, presumably back to his residence as was at clarence house. and then, of course, monday sees another major set piece moment in this very carefully choreographed period of national morning, when he addresses both houses of parliament at westminster. and of course, harry, we now have a date for the state food. the, it's going to be a huge event, isn't it?
8:10 pm
and it nationally and internationally. it really will. the scale of this in all sensors will be enormous. we know the data will be monday, the 19th of september. we don't know much more in terms of or least the announcements of the precise detail has not come yet, but we do know that it will be a public holiday that at moon. there will be 2 minutes of silence observed around the country and that at westminster abbey, where this funeral will take place. a capacity of a couple of 1000 people. many of those there will be very significant figures from around the world. we know that joe biden, for instance, very quickly, came forward and said that he would be attending a after that the coffin will be taken from westminster abbey to windsor castle. that will be televised that procession. that will then be the committal ceremony. pat, saint george's chapel, there were the queen will be laid to rest again, a public publicly televise and then
8:11 pm
a much more private ceremony. a service for the royal family after that committal takes place. i 4 said thank you for that update. tom divine is a professor emeritus at the university of edinburgh and the author of independence or union, the scotlands passed and scotlands present. or he believes that the queen's passing won't affect the scottish independence movement. the queen hard, especially pleased in her heart for scotland and saw the scots for her. and what will happen? know? personally, i don't think that the m, the parsing of the queen anne will effect the independent situation directly. and because the independence air development or non development will be based on political, economic, and social forces. clearly at the margin of things,
8:12 pm
the monarchy is one of the glues of the union. but it's not as fundamental as, for example, economic ties, social ties, and under ties and connections called history. i think you've got to distinguish between the institution, the monarchy and elizabeth, the 2nd, the respect and what she is held as that no doubt of that. and since she took a coronation, ortz, as everybody has said, over the last few days, a coronation was in 1953. she heart performed impeccably in public service to her people. in contrast, that has to be said with some, with some of the elected politicians. and recent and recent years, and as far as the institution of monarchy concerned, the opinion polls suggest that a law that is still a majority of which fever, the institution in scotland, scotland is perhaps the least committed to the institution of monarchy. and i as
8:13 pm
a less committed than any of the other nations of the united kingdom observing a day of morning in honor of quinton as it was a british colony finale 200 years. when in recent years, the government has tried to move away from its cloning past as putting a ton reports from the day. nuts if this boulevard in the heart of new delhi has received a makeover built by the british, it houses famous building such as this war memorial. the road has been renovated and renamed. there's a new statue of freedom fighter sebastian turbos. these are not merely cosmetic changes. good. i make up a big the road was called king's way and was a symbol of colonialism. now it is called part of duty, kings me was for the british empire. for them we were sleeves. now it's architecture and spirit has changed. india was a british colony for nearly 2 centuries, 75 years after independence. it's trying to shake off that legacy. much of this

8:15 pm
to project themselves as symbols of nationalism. they in fact, oh, have a hypo nationalism. i think they ideology is not one of naturalism. it's not one of anti colonial nationalism. we know that they did not play the ancestors played no part in the fleet em struggle. although india is a member of the commonwealth observing a day of mourning for britons, queen elizabeth the 2nd is a decision that evoke mixed feelings in a nation where many are keen to read write the colonial past. daphne metal al jazeera new delhi. so the heads on al jazeera sweden votes in a tightly contested election, and immigration is one of the biggest issues at the box. ah, the journey has begun. the 34 world camp is on its way to catherine book. your travel package today. hello, they welcome to look at international forecast. weather is pretty quiet now across

a military band playing god save the king. ukraine's army says its own forces are pushing further into the northeast. how to keep region of it, make significant gains and a counter offensive. well, since early september, their advance has been fast with ukraine taking back in days ground that it took the russians months to control. caves, forces have entered the key, found him and coffee, and both located on the railway lines. advances have also been made by ukraine in the south, the sun, but other slower pace. meanwhile, a backup power lines. this operation nuclear power plant, has been restored. the operations that have been halted for safety reasons. the fans was disconnected from the main energy grid for days due to shutting the home. it has more from harkins the last we heard from president zalinski is that the ukrainian army was now in consort for 2000 square kilometers, sort of south east of high retrieved city where i am at the moment. they have 1st
8:20 pm
start pushing through the town of bella. clear went all the way to cook piazza, which is a strategic win because it sits on a railway major railway up there and not. and then it headed towards him. now as we understand it, the ukrainians, i now on the highlands around the city of is you, we haven't had any announcement from the government that the ukraine is, are in full control of issue. but i'm sure that they're putting all their efforts they can do to take that city because that one actually sits on a hub of highways and railway system that the russians use as a strong coal. and as a logistic line for their offensive in the east of the country ended abbas region. so if the ukrainians managed to get full control of israel, it puts the russians who are in the dumbass regions in a very difficult position. now you have to also understand that at the same time as a 2nd counter offensive that's going on,
8:21 pm
that's in the south of the country. very little information trickling out of this one. what we do know is that the russians are isolated because they were being resupplied by the crimea peninsula when do ukrainians bomb those bridges. so the russians who are there are quite isolated at the moment, but the government or the defense ministry, are not saying anything. and are giving us any details about that counter offensive . voting is underway in sweden's general election. opinion polls suggest it's a close race between the left wing government and an unprecedented alarms between your rights and the far right. rising crime and the surgeon immigration are among the main issues, the warn ukraine and the energy crisis that's followed up also become crucial for voters. horace has more from stock. it's very close. tight rice also seems to be quite a sly writer outside the rick stark. the parliament here in stock,
8:22 pm
as long queues to vote the long queue throughout the country. which means that the result could be delayed by, by an hour or 2 later. one of the reasons as long queues is that as traditionally, good voter turn out in sweden, magdalena, on the show, the prime minister, her ruling policy, the social democrats look like having around 30 percent of the vote. her sort of left leaning coalition, looking neck and neck in their block with as he mentioned this right leading coalition and unprecedented coalition between the moderate party who are sort of central sort of traditional opposition here and the right wing sweden. democrats who've never really had any influence before in swedish politics until the moderate sort of have brought them into the folds, trying to try and build a government. it's an anti immigrant party. many consider it's rice as policy,
8:23 pm
but it's quite complex. and indeed up in speaking to some, some voters on the eve of this election on their feelings about the right wing suite and democrats. the order of all i will for the sweden democrats because they have been serious about migration policies, crime and gang shootings. to the middle east, i don't see them as races. the prioritize sweden i'm of immigrant, bit cramped myself. i see sweden as my country and if i thought they were races, i would walk for them. long again. stop you. that as many swayed absolutely disgusted that the suite and democrats even even existence in suite. and sweden is traditionally been a country that welcomes immigrants. one of the most one of the most generous immigrant policies in the world. but the sweden, democrats have already started effecting suite a. it is policies, thousands of protests as have taken to the streets in that chile, as the country marks the 49th anniversary of the military coup,
