5:05 am
from buckingham palace onto 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 or press into action, fetching, carried removing plastic, packaging, loving messages. remember a queen who was the nation's grandmother. like we've been here since about 6 this morning to try to clear the flowers of what we found since you've been have you been overwhelmed down 15 truck so far and everyone's just coming in, giving us a hand. we just look at the people that picking everything up the little bit in the clear and everything except for us to in 20 or so years of people to culture of never seen anything like it. it's almost like a kind of pilgrim, isn't it? thousands of people coming here many with a genuine sense of grief, others to have
5:06 am
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 in 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 thought, i understand the significance, thought it doesn't have an impact on my life. personally, i think that's a general feeling with my friends. i think they're good. it's good to have like a head of the country. like a figure to look up too, but i just don't think that it's related for

5:08 am
a sound government policy so i'm really scared about those. those policies. i don't want them to get any power at all. i think they frighten me a lot. i think there is a lack of the action actually taken. i. i feel like they are not real, acknowledging all the dishes, we have a very much with the shootings with segregation issues. we have a and i believe they mean, well i think they want to solve it. they don't think they do it as well as they could of them. i try to sympathize as well. try to understand them, i should say. ah, they make me feel a bit of dread, i guess, a bit of dread that the yeah. that the most important issues for a lot of people is the fact that people from other countries are, are coming here and trying to well to, to rod, i guess a pull race has the lightest from stockholm. i'm here at the election vigil of the
5:09 am
social democrat party, the party of the prime minister magdalena and the sham. she thanking her policy for their for that for their electioneering. but saying that we probably won't have a result until wednesday. that's something that the an, the election authority here has confirmed as there were many late votes today in this also as votes from abroad. still to be counted. but the mood here are the social democrats election vigil has gone for very confident early in the night, to pretty deflated, amidst them increasingly triumphant speeches from the right wing opposition. as it stands now, it looks like there's only as only bought a seat in it, in parliament ab, but it does look as if of chris to send the moderate party leader. we'll be able to build a right wing government. and of course, he's able to do that because for the 1st time, one of the major parties is willing to work with the right wing suite. and
5:10 am
democrats who look like they have probably overtaken, of christensen's moderates in becoming the 2nd biggest party in sweden. ethiopia is to griver rebels, say they are ready for a cease fire and would accept a peace process led by the african union. well, this is a breakthrough of sorts. as the rebels have been previously opposed to any a you involvement. the announcement coincides with ethiopia new year. there's been a flurry of diplomatic activity ever since a flare up of fighting last month. after a period of relative calm. the u. s. state department has called on ethiopia leaders to try and put the country back on a path of pace. rosalyn jordan has more well, the u. s. has been very concerned about the resumption of hostilities between the ethiopian military, the t p l. life of the rebels in the northern part of ethiopia is to cry, region and era reinforces coming across the border to basically amp up the violence
5:11 am
. and so there has been a this a renewed concern. the special envoy for the horn of africa, michael hammer, has been in addis ababa since september 5th meeting with officials, not just in the ethiopian government, but also with the leadership of the t p l. up the main rebel for saw in the northern part of ethiopia trying to lay the groundwork for some sort of piece talked. he's also, i've been meeting with a you officials. the process is such that the u. s. wants to see. all parties lay down their arms and try to get into peace talks as quickly as possible. on sunday, the u. s. secretary of state antony blank and released a statement i urging all parties to engage in peace talks and you try to seize the opportunity in the name of the ethiopian people try to basically restore stability,
5:12 am
restore. com and also deal with a growing humanitarian crisis. well, it's bring in william lauren's father sky now from washington dc. he is a former u. s. diplomat. who was in charge of engagement with africa. thank you very much for being on the program festival. how significant is this development from the t p l? if it's very significant, it's not an, it's not sufficient, it doesn't solve all the upstanding issues, but it does take one obstacle off the table and it's notable that they didn't agree to be a mediator. they agreed to the a you. so that opens the door to any number of possibilities and one that's been proposed is that the a mediate, but perhaps a team of officials and not the particular official to which the teacher has been objecting. why now and how soon do you think piece talks? could begin, why they both sides have realized, you know,
5:13 am
one way or another and leaving hardliners a little bit to the side to make this point that they can't win the big war. and so the only question is, what gains do you make that goals influenced the final lines of any agreement and influenced the tenor of the negotiations? and i think the, the large mobilization to the north and to the south of t correct wasn't enough to, you know, lead that to grant to believe they were going to be defeated or that mckelly was going to be taken again or anything like that. but it was a concern, and i don't think they felt like they were gaining much on the battlefield as much as they could gained at this point. at the negotiation table. to grants have been putting down preconditions, addison rejecting those. but a lot of it has to do with the restoration of services. and of course the humanitarian corridors, which was the reason for the march truce in the 1st place. and you know, it would be whether or not that the precondition or not it be great if addis ababa
5:14 am
could start making some can concession area marks and make some moves in terms of humanitarian assistance and, and, and services to move things in the direction of a proper negotiation, what are going to be the main sticking points in any of the negotiations? do you think there are many i've given you to which are the monetary and quarters in the, and the services electrical and otherwise to, to great. of course, the un accused the grains of stealing a lot of things like gas, but things they couldn't get by other means. there's the humanitarian corridor through to sudan is the status of western gray. and the area that people have taken at the areas in the north that they are a tree tree and taken and you know, whether or not those would be renegotiated under ethiopia, constitution or the basis. so, you know, just back to the fire lines. and of course, the mediation self, so there are a lot of things that remain to be discussed. the most important thing right now is
5:15 am
to be di, escalating, not escalating because escalate tori pressures can lead to months of fighting again, as opposed to de escalation, which we get us back towards a truce and back towards proper negotiations. and it's worth noting of the international community seems to have a little more skin in the game now than they have in recent weeks. and that's important to indeed thank you very much for your time and analysis. it's william laurence from washington. d. c. was spanish teenager carlos l correct has claimed his 1st grand slam title after meeting casper route in the us open final. he defeated noise route after 4 fits while the 19 year old becomes the youngest. if a world number one, he's replace to russian denila mid for dave and the top of the rankings. oh, still ahead on al jazeera. we choose to go to the mo and if they can do the other thing, not because they are easy,
