it arrived after that 6 hour trip from balmoral on sunday, remember a travel dead at east up to aberdeen and then around the that that city in the northeast before heading down towards the main population centers on the east coast of dundee and path coming across there, the new bridge over the 4th of 4th into edinburgh itself. it was surprising because initially during the 1st few miles of the cortez travelling, there was silence. people standing in respectful silence. not seeing very much indeed, but as it reached aberdeen, then people felt that they wanted to applaud a at that was a sign of a recognition of the queen servicer of 70 years. and also you remember that yesterday reported when the proclamation of the new king was read out here in edinburgh. a note saying that charles had been proclaimed king. there was some level of disturbance including a young woman who had a cardboard to post, which disputed the fact that there should be a monarchy in britain. in 2022,
2:06 pm
that young woman was arrested 22 year old. and she was charged with breach of the peace, fairly minor of fans. but she will appear in court here in edinburgh on monday. a reminder that while there is overwhelming support for the monarchy in the u. k, it is not unanimous. and many people believe that the idea of a monarchy in a 21st century country in europe is perhaps outdated, outmoded and old fashioned, and o allen, the plans for this moment, but in place for many years. but how is the city of edinburgh coping with all this attention coming so quickly so suddenly as of house well enough, i was speaking to someone today who knows someone who works with the local council, who are charged with closing the roads and making sure there are enough volunteers to guide people to the places they need to be. and as soon as the queen's death was announced, that plan was taken off the shelf and started to be put into place. so they,
2:07 pm
they knew which roads would be closed, who would be, where, what would happen the fact that very quickly, everything would be put in place that needed to be put in place. now these plans existed for the queen's home at sandringham for windsor, for buckingham palace, but there was always a feeling that because of the queen's special attachment to scotland to her love of bar moral, that it was more likely to happen here than anywhere else. and that is why they knew exactly what is going to happen that the cortez will move here from holly rude palace all the way up the, the royal mile at toussant giles cathedral. it will be followed by prince charles and the queen, consort and other members of the family, including as the princess royal, there will be this service. and then at the king, charles will come back a here to hollywood. he will have a personal one on one with the 1st minister of scotland, nicholas sturgeon. you will also meet the presiding officer of the scottish parliament, which no age sits just across the road from, from hollywood house at the king. we'll spend the night here in edinburgh and then
2:08 pm

2:09 pm
talk us through the events there of the past few hours. well, what we saw was something that has happened 70 times in the past in a place that has been the center of the government of this country for so many centuries. westminster whole has been around for 900 years. originally, the foundations were laid by king william rufus, who was the son of william the conqueror. and it's been a place where the king used to have his advises. it's been used as a law course. it's been used as a place where they've dealt with nations finances, and it's a place where the king or queen have come soon after they've taken office to meet those who govern on their behalf. and on this occasion, it was all of the m p 's, the elected parliamentarians, and all of the members of the house of lords, the appointed people who appointed for that good work and take part in the upper house. here in the u. k. the speaker of both of those houses talked about the late
2:10 pm
queen. they talked about her duty, wisdom, kindness, and humor. both houses. the speakers read a formal declaration which sounded pretty ok. can terms the words use? they clearly use the template from the past, but what was different as we saw all of this, it was televised, this was never been televised before. the public have been oppressed has now been love fit. and we heard from king charles saying he was grateful to the addresses of condolence from the 2 houses, touching what he says, the things that encompass what the queen meant to us all. and it's interesting that he quoted, in this very historic surroundings, shakespeare and shakespeare's quote on elizabeth the 1st and said that elizabeth, the 2nd, his mother, was the pat into old prince's living figure. what allen's theme of history, elizabeth, the 1st was it was the queen until 16 o 3. and that's when for the very 1st time scotland,
2:11 pm
england had to say have the same king james. the 1st lots of history here. but as i say, a modern touch with the tantalizing of this event, i think showing the idea of continuity here. but also sharing that with a new king. that will be a new way of doing some things. the new king james has left london. he's on his way to edinburgh. the nation observing this period of morning normal life has been suspended if you like, for a while, parliament is not sitting at the moment. the folk is very much now on the state funeral on monday, a week today. the state funeral and before that is alan mentioned. it's happening in scotland 1st, but the law in state it again in that magnificent ancient westminster hole. web members, the public will be able to, to, to, to walk past the coffin to pay that respects. we're expecting large crowds for that . the last time it was 2002,

2:14 pm
this is how it looked. the only thing that has been constant is what a hole that attracts wild animals every evening. and what brings in thousands of tourists every year. the story of tree tops lodge has been told entry, told princess elizabeth was here when her father died and she became queen, rating bogus, shows me exactly where the original tree house stood before it band down. burglar was a porter and was selected to help carry the princess luggage to the room. it was a time of colonial oppression while food, some white people do not teach canyons very well. they would beat us out of the 2 car and he had to be found as here. they had those over lives too, but would only allow us to own utmost to 15 good. only goods then princess visited kenya at a very tense period, the beginning of an uprising. and within a year young canyon freedom fighters declared war on her government. they killed dozens of british settlers. the sympathizers, which is the beginning of the end of colonialism,
2:15 pm
can have gained independence in 1963, which was one of many african countries to do so that decades. it appears as if many of policymakers in britain, underwashed. i'm not accepted the fact that africans independent the oh, there was that independence. we tend to think of africans as perpetual wards. children to be guided. 80 means that the hat of pieces, engagement africa, the you case finding it difficult to compete with china in trade and building infrastructure support for africa. it is not that africans world war one, the west, the on the west. but they also want a new respect. and they are the right to decide who to deal with it, which i knew deals are not good. get rid of the bridge route. these are not good. get rid of it while it's during the queen's rain,
2:16 pm
that serious human rights abuses were committed in kenya. she's remembered fondly, she visited the country several times. a museum dedicated to her is fielded souvenirs from her visits. britain's connection with africa is evolving as is the post colonial stereotype that the relationship is all about. handouts, africa continues to receive its aid, but some analysts say the u. k is now more interested in promoting trade. cathy, sorry, alta 0, central canyon. martin. my virginia is a senior program adviser with the carrier human rights commission. he joins us now live from my rebecca to have you with this matter. what are your thoughts at this time? what does the passing of brookings queen elizabeth the 2nd? if anything mean to you? okay, thanks for having me here on the parking or queen elizabeth, give her a moment for us to speak the truth. we own the where the for the longest fine.

2:19 pm
a similar position. so do you correct? correct. correct. i can use not a loan and that way return it is my hope that she will be able to own up the human rights violations that committed by my government and in different parts of the world. it is important for some of the speak to for them to charge us more not to be closer to the violation they need to help this big things back. knowledge and violation by compensating could be compensated unbearable. count those who need to be here cause i must point out every and that's to date, no british, not, not, no british, from a british soldier or official husband or any court of law in human rights should any of their protector. so it is my hope that detail to flip this page and hold
