relevance of the institution of monarchy. life goes on. jonah, how has minus now from london, seemingly without end the floral attributes of spilled out from buckingham palace on to the gardens of green park. the crowds, unrelenting make their way along a one way system that no one quite understands. so they just follow the people in front hold on, tears are pressed into action. fetching carried removing plastic, packaging, loving messages. remember a queen who was the nation's grandmother. we've been here since about 6 this morning trying to clear the flowers from the palace. what we found since you've been here, you've been overwhelmed down 15 truck so far and everyone's just coming in, giving us a hand,
10:06 pm
we just look at the people. they're picking everything up the little bit in the clear and everything transfers to 20 or so years of people the culture i've never seen anything like it. it's almost like you're kind of pilgrim, isn't it? thousands of people coming here many with a genuine sense of grief, others to have a physical experience of history and to leave their mark. and here in this place, it feels almost universal. actually, everyone must want to be here. but of course, that's not the case. elsewhere, life goes on largely undisturbed, respectfully blacked out display windows at one of london's most famous stores serve only to hide the bustle of shoppers inside a majority, generally approve of the monarchy at britain today. but much of that is down to the popularity of the queen and her grandchildren. for younger generations. it is an institution with questionable relevance. personally, it doesn't affect me. i know that might sound a bit insensitive,
10:07 pm
but i understand the, the significant spot. it doesn't have an impact on my life. personally, i think that's the general feeling with my friends. i think they're good. it's good to have like a head of the party. got like a figure to look up to. but i just don't think those related for a lot of people now. god saved again. oh, while the new king is proclaimed in places great and small across the country, many simply go about their business. ah, charles has work to do to shield his mother's place in the nations affection. joan a whole al jazeera, loving king charles has met with the secretary general of the commonwealth as he succeeds, his mother is head of the union. monarch held an audience with patricia scotland at buckingham palace to day. charles also met with representatives from the

10:09 pm
regions include areas where ukrainian forces have recently advanced. well, since early september, ukraine has made rapid gains with keith taking a few days to take back territory that russia at battle for months to control keeps forces of entered the key towns of is human coupons, located on strategic rail lines. advances have also been made in ukraine in the south, near harrison, but at a slower pace. meanwhile, a backup power line to the upper region nuclear plant has been restored, but operations there have been halted for safety reasons. plant was disconnected from the main energy grid for days because of shelling. acquainted, official se russian attacks have taken out critical infrastructure, triggering widespread blackouts in large parts of the country present. rosamille zalinski says it russia wants to leave people without electricity or heat. or abdul hamid is in her cave, which has also been plunged into darkness. we are in a black out at the moment. actually. there is a power outages in 5 regions in the north east and the eastern part
10:10 pm
of the country. they are also unconfirmed, reported they are power will power outages all the way to odessa. but as i said, those were unconfirmed reports. now what we're hearing from officials is that the russians have hate critical infrastructure. they're not telling us what all where, but certainly that is deaf in this city is in pitch black. we were actually under streets when that happened. and as we were driving back to our location, everything was completely dark. there was not one light on, it was quite an airy scene as we understand that this is happening also in ukraine's 4th largest city. the appropriate ne, appropriate thrust is happening. for example in chroma. tours ended on yet regions in easton ukraine in the dumbass and it's happening also in the as to me region. so
10:11 pm
we don't know at this stage how long this will last, officials in the various regions have also been telling people to unplug their devices, electric devices. if they do need them to have been telling them also to stock up on water, they say that the repairs are ongoing, but people are wondering how long that would last. although counting is underway in sweden, his general election exit polls suggest that santa left parties are leading with a slim margin. but the partial result indicates the far right and anti migration party sweden. democrats, 149.2 percent of the votes, rising crime, immigration, and the energy crisis triggered by the warn ukraine have become crucial for voters or pull. reese joins his life now from stock climate and poor. certainly the opinion polls the head of this election showed the sent to left and the right wing block, running neck and neck in this lead from the san to left. seems to maybe be within
10:12 pm
it within a margin of error. yes indeed, maria, ma'am, this is certainly to be taken with a pinch of salt. this sam, this research has been carried out on only 11000 voters em. but looking, looking at what it's measuring so far, and they are generally more accurate as you say, than they're at pre election opinion polls. magdalena anderson's social democrats, understand the, the prime minister at the moment with a better result. it's looking like than last time out. 29.3 percent and with her left leaning coalition it looking like they've got to just over 50 percent of the vote on the other side the right wing coalition, as you say, with just over 49 percent of the vote that's made up of the moderate moderate party, whose leader of kristen would be put forward as prime minister if that's
10:13 pm
a coalition one. but it looks like they've been overtaken as the 2nd largest party in sweden by the right wing, sweden. democrats who really, really shot up in popularity in the last 10 years as immigration has shot up in sweden as well. they look like they've got around 20 percent of the vote at quite an exciting sort of live reckoning here as well. a 172 of the 6264 voting districts have been counted at so far. now, what's, what's feeding into this well, on the left, magdalena, engine, social democrats, their eyes will hope that she is trusted at to handle the cost of living crisis. having been finance minister during the pandemic, they'll also hope it's a bit of a presidential race because she is more popular than of kristen of the moderates leading that right wing coalition. that coalition will be hoping that what is more
10:14 pm
important, the electorate as a whole, is rising crime in sweden, which has been strongly linked to immigration. sweden now has the, the worst rate of deadly gangland gun murders in the whole of europe that's been playing into the electrodes, fears, and indeed the influence of the suite and democrats has even been felt on some left wing policies as well. a few hours to go before we know the definitive results. 4 years ago, of course, it took many months before we knew who was going to make a new government herron sweden. thank you very much for all the latest on the was happening there. and so come poor ease watching al jazeera life from london. much more so to bring you on the program, including this story, a waiver, the unwelcome guests in thailand, sneaks around the capitol is a natural habitat is destroyed. ah,
10:15 pm
he has begun the full world copies on its way to catherine book. your travel package today. hi there, here is your weather update for europe and africa. so we did have some disruptive rain through the republic of ireland. heather, by the way, more so for southern sections that's now hopped over the i rich c, pushing in to wales, northern sections of ireland, also running into western norway on monday. now if we dip further toward that south remnants leftovers of what was hurricane danielle coming in to portugal, really up and down the coast there? i think we're going to see some pretty intense bursts of rain did set sam record temperatures in the southeast of france. now it looks like the southwest of france on monday, bordeaux getting up to 30 degrees otherwise across central europe right through the balkans. it's fairly calm, but let's go round the boss 1st. now we do have a slug of rain in istanbul. see those winds pick up just a bit with the high of 26 degrees off to africa,
10:16 pm
get and stroked with some pretty solid bands of rain beneath togo and gone. i could see some flooding here for their toward the north. though alger is at 38 degrees, it's a good 10 above where you should be for this time, the euro close to it. anyway, southern africa, we do have extreme fire danger in play for a huge swath of south africa. but some showers in quasi lunar towel and the free state. so that should help things. but of course we need much more rain and that's how 15 degrees in cape town on monday or susan official airline of the journey. ah ah
10:17 pm
ah, why ah, i come back, i'll mainstream now. body of queen elizabeth, the 2nd is arrived in edinburgh after a more than 6 hour journey from our moral castle where she died on thursday. a flag draped coffins was met by a military artist. ana, on monday, will be taken to saint joust cathedral, where the queen woke. lie at rest for 24 hours before her casket is then flying to london. well, algeria is alan fish al, is there when the coffin arrived in at and for what was it like helen it was quite emotional. i remember looking over and seeing a young girl,
10:18 pm
she could have been any more than 8 or 9 years old. and there were tears in her eyes notice as a young girl that probably doesn't fully understand just what the queen has done. but she was touched by the occasion in this. initially the silence as the coffin came round. but then people started to applaud and others in their own. we were marking the occasion at green and the dark has no melted, the crowds away, but there were thousands here, leaving flowers from very early on since just after dawn. in fact, goose flowers have no been gathered up and they've been taken into the palace. the intention is that the royal family or, or someone from the royal family, will read all the cards that had been left. you have to remember as well, that of course the queen was never meant to be the queen. her father succeeded to the throne after his brother abdicated in what was a great scandal in the 19 thirty's. and so princess elizabeth was never expected to be queen. and she ascended to the throne at
10:19 pm
a very young age. and people here remarked on her sense of duty. the fact that this was thrust upon her, but she accepted it and saved the country for 70 years. and so there is that connection with people who remember her service, remember like that she served in the armed forces during the 2nd world war and was a huge fan of scotland. not just because ball moral to her was a place where she could be yourself. but she came here to hollywood every single year towards the garden party, to conduct honors that had been presented by the government. and in her own d. n. e was scottish because her mother came from a scottish family. so there was always this connection. so many people think it up that she begins her final journey to resting place at windsor by spending at least one night here at hollywood palace, which was her official scottish hold. how thank you very much. alan fisher with all

10:21 pm
something that happened in the united states. but here it means something very, very different. it was an attack on democracy and it opened, or it led to 17 years of military dictatorship. and so there have been protests throughout the day, most of them peaceful, but also some very, very fierce clashes with riot police between mainly young people dressed in black, covering their faces wooded, who've been throwing molotov cocktails. police have responded throughout the day with water cannon. lots of tear gas, we got soaked ourselves, that, that included a march into the cemetery where people went to pay their respects again on the tomb of president salary and the, and at a long wall where the names of thousands of people who are still missing and who disappeared after that cool. i have been paid homage as well. people of flowers and they, they cried. many people sang and also a lot of people are demanding justice,

10:24 pm
exacerbates political tensions and so forth. and, and this, this is not just true. the, the governing authorities this, this is a message that we are also able to send to the opposition. that lack of unity. that, that polarization. ah, that divisiveness, you know, is, is going to make it even harder to attract you, the kind of investment. ah, it is going to perpetuate the impression of instability in terms of the crippling economic crisis and what she long had needs to do to ensure that it secures funding into national confidence. basically administered a policies there stranger to sri lanka and of this country's issues did say that it was important for the government to shore that it is not just making pledges but moving on with the reform with the changes. she said, it was important, essentially to look at the causes of the death which had accumulated over the years . and she did say that the u. s. stands ready to help with that restructuring. but
