reflection and personal respect offered by so many people to the queen. a key that has been visible from space at times via satellite imagery, stretching beyond 8 kilometers in length at its longest point, and acknowledged by the royal family. can charles the 3rd himself, along with prince william his son? now the prince of wales attended the cue just off lambeth bridge on saturday afternoon to talk to people in it. they spent quite a long time walking up and down the line, thanking them for their efforts to general what kind of preparations underway for the funeral tomorrow. well, this whole area, westminster, among the great offices of state, the prime minister's residence, supposed to 2 houses of parliament, has now become a real fortress and sing of crowd barriers and barricades. lots and lots of security. the military on hand to support an enormous number of police officers,

as you would expect for an occasion that is already being described as the biggest public event ever to take place in london. high level representatives of almost all of the $195.00 countries in the world will be here. many of them a heads of state level presidents, prime ministers, also royalty from europe, asia, and the middle east. it's going to be an enormous affair of course, but. busy tomorrow morning, all eyes will be focused right here on the do away of this enormous gothic abbey, westminster abbey. as the queen's coffin is brought by state gun carriage leaving it precisely 944, gmc from westminster, hol, pinpoint timing. all of this arriving at the abbey for a service to begin at 11 local time, 10 gmc 55 minutes or so later. the last post will sound at the end of the service to be a 2 minute national silence, a rendition of the national anthem. now, god save the king, of course, and as the coffin is transferred back onto a gun carriage with ceremonial procession to wellington arch,

and then onwards by casa windsor lament will be played here by the queen's personal 5. will be incredible. seems to watch. thank you very much. that's jonah hall with mr. evy for us. we're going to go to ellen fisher, who is at buckingham palace and this is an extremely busy day for king charles. what's going on is on his agenda today. while he made the short drive from class size where he stays at buckingham palace undergoing extensive renovation, and he's decided he isn't going to stay there until it's done. this is the official residence of the monarch and london to hear arrived a couple of hours ago. but 20 minutes after that we sold this to. 1 of course, as the new prime minister in the united kingdom attending a formal sit down with the king, of course lis trust was involved in the queen's last official duty when she went about moral to be invited to form a government. and then came back to london to do that. it's just one of the number

of meetings that prince charles will have a reminder that his role is political, even though he is not allowed to take a political position. he will meet with the prime ministers of the dominions as they are cold. so the likes of just the prime minister arden from new zealand. justin to do from canada. prime minister, albany, easy from a street and places like jamaica and barbados. they will all be here to meet the king later this afternoon. and then this evening there will be a gathering of the official delegations who have been invited to the funeral that is being described as an official state occasion. there are 6 countries that have not been invited. russia, bella, luce, me and my city, venezuela, and afghan. it's done. and 3 countries where the leaders have not been invited, but they have been invited to send delegations, the ambassadors level, that is north korea nickel. and also iran,

so that is going to be a large part all the king day. we were told there was the possibility that the king may come out and greet well wishers here in the next 1015 minutes or so. with always, as always, with these things, they tend to run a bit behind schedule, but certainly there are thousands of people here in on to buckingham palace. some of them already seeking their position to be here over night. so they can see some part of what will be an historic funeral possession for a queen. who was the monarch here for 70 years. thank you so much. that is ellen fisher for us live outside buckingham palace. will it o and is the royal historian, commentator and author, he's in london, and with me now live peroration london bridge has been organized for years, if not decades, to this point. do you think it is all going to plan?

i think over the last 10 days, what we've seen is the successful execution of operation london bridge on in and in tandem with that operation, spring tide, which is about the exception of all new king charles the 3rd. on the one hand we have witnessed. if you live events designed to celebrate the long life of elizabeth the 2nd, but equally these last 10 days of also being about recognizing the fact that we have a new monarch by its very nice tomorrow's state. funeral is obviously going to be very traditional. and how personal do you think it might be though to the queen? when terms of the, the nature of the pageant tree that's going to unfold. there is, of course, much tradition for the last 150 years that he's going to be built on that is going to be on display. notably military march is

a procession the music. this is stuff that we've seen before in 1952, 1936191019 o, one stretching right back to the funeral of queen victoria. then at the same time, there is something that's quite innovative taking place to morrow. and that is that this is going to be an event that plays out in front of television audience is the 1952 funeral of king george. the sick was not a television event on this scale. for example, that wasn't a big state funeral unfolding in westminster. abbey, but to morrow there is going to be westminster abbey relief from the start of the 20th century became if you like the nation spiritual center and to morrow it's going to be playing that role once more for the funeral of elizabeth the 2nd a be on the queues that we have seen for the last few days, those that have been front and center life right in the heart of london to know what the mood is like around the rest of the u. k. is there that same sense of

coming together to mourn the queen? well, there's one thing that we, we've, we've learned has historians when we look back at big national royal events like this one is that we shouldn't judge the national mood from what's going on in central london on the scene. central london and, and westman to westminster hole right now that is the, at the center if you like, of a public feeling in and around this important moment in the life of the royal family . if we go further afield, we know if we just take a quick look at a sexual media for example, but not everybody is as and i'm not with the british royal family as those people have gathered in london to pay their respects to this. but the 2nd so clearly there is great to complexity to public feeling. and i think it's these new social media platforms that have really given, given a voice to other members of the public, to, to articulate differing views on the british rule, family and data. and then just sending to king charles with,

with so many world leaders in london right now. how big an opportunity is this for him to i guess stampers marquez so from i think this is his 1st opportunity really as, as britain's so foremost, diplomats, he is a key figure if you like international diplomacy greasing the wheels of international relations in terms of british soft power as a key representative of the nation. this is an opportunity for him to stop building those relationships, or at least building on those relationships. he's already forged in order to ensure the britain is engaging with, with its allies and with those other nations, with whom it would like better relations it owens of world historian, thank you so much for your time on this news. allen. thank you. well, plenty more ahead on the news, allan, including a group of a series, finally return harm to land reclaimed from armenia. 2 years ago,

4000000 people are ordered to evacuate as japan, prices for typhon then model to make landfall. ah, and, and sport. we'll take a look at how canada's men's team made it to their 1st football world cup the close to for decades. ah. the u. s. house speakers says she strongly condemns what she calls illegal attacks by us by john on armenia as a by john has called the comments unsubstantiated to an unfair. nancy pelosi was speaking in yerevan just days after an outbreak of violence between the neighbors. more than 200 people have been killed in the worst fighting since armenia and as a by john full of war in 20. 20 pelosi is the highest ranking u. s. official to visit arminius since it gained independence from the soviet union

in 1990. 1 meeting began and had a particular importance to us because of the focus on security following the illegal and deadly attack. and as a, by the, as it began only on the territory, we strongly condemn those technically, in our delegation on behalf of congress, which threatens prospects are much ne, a peace agreement armenia. and as i shall have been in conflict for decades over the disputed region of nagondo, a car box bouts this week marked a major escalation with shelling happening with an arminian sovereign territory. as a by john says it was responding to provocations by armenia. tony ching is in year of on he has more on nancy pelosi visit to stress again that the united states valued deeply the democratic values here. she said that the

country was very important in the fight between democracy and autocracy. she didn't make any specific security guarantees. you said that the united states had committed to helping armenia develop its economy. and it was here to listen to the security needs and requests from the armenian government. she but she didn't make any specific commitment to was those to have the united states might back that up. nonetheless, i think it was a message of very whole hearted support. the fact that she is the most senior american to visit. since the media became independent 30 years ago, i think was taken by many here. it's being very supportive. the fact that she went to the genocide memorial 1st thing this morning to show her the support there, i think was very significant as well. and she's, she's in meetings with the prime minister today, i think overall,

the message from the united states is that they are committed to backing up on me here. they think there is a way, not for military solutions of the tensions on the border. but through diplomacy and true economic development, the us establish diplomatic relations with both armenia and as a by john in 1992, following their independence from the soviet union. washington's played a key role in the nagondo car box. peace process is a co chair of the so called mintz group with russia and france is the largest provider of humanitarian and technical aid to armenia, supplying nearly $3000000000.00 and funding over the last 30 years. well, at the same time, it's given more than $1500000000.00 and aids to as a by john. that includes at least 164000000 in direct military aid that's been criticized by arminian groups. in 2019 joe biden became the 1st to u. s. e president. to formally recognize the mass killing of more than $1000000.00

armenians under the ottoman empire during world war one. as an act of genocide, it is a description the turkish government rejects of hurried sheffield is the chairman of the center of analysis of international relations. he says, pillows, his trip is all about gaining votes back in america and the upcoming midterm elections. you asked is not playing great role play to role as a news group cor chair trying to elaborate piece agreement on that piece agreement which is called moderate principles. was rejected by our media. and by the way, by pushing down government in the spring 2020. so the reason of pillows is it is nothing more than just kill a parochial interest in to be re elected mid term elections coming and who constituents in california is heavily influenced by armenian votes. that's the

main reason why it came to me. if we look at the facts of the ground, our mean is the closest armenian military ally to come on. we got our media support that russian and exceptional for armenian. by the way, when you were speaking of all the recent clashes between us and why john, it's not separate incident. the speaking about 30 years old conflict, which was caused by the armenian tutorial, claims and subsequent occupational as it was in international regard. and i said it already includes a car. so all these factors shows that what, what our me deed and on what side of our meaning, in terms of the military alliance. i think it's just purely pretty election campaign. people have returned to the 1st village, rebuilt, and as a by chance since the 2020 war with our media. despite the violence and recent days, they say that determined to stay and rebuild their lives. charl stradford has more

from a golly in as a by john. this is erin graves have been neglected for more than 30 years. the village was destroyed in fighting in the early 19 nineties when the armenian army occupied this area. 2 years ago, the army military was forced out in a 6 week war that claimed 6500 lives and new village has been built so many a series. return a hell of the thought built in the statue you see represents pasent high for us. we hope we can solve this problem without fighting but there are fears that a pride, joy, peace may be unraveling. both sides blame each other for a recent up surgeon fighting that killed more than $200.00 soldiers. this village is the 1st village in this area have been rebuilt, since the as airy military took back control of this area in 2020, after what they say was 30 years of armenian occupation. and the people coming back

to live here, say that despite the recent escalation or violence, some of which happened close to here. they are determined to stay the silly move of family, a, one of almost 70 families who moved back so far. fernandez cries, she listened to her daughter. describe what happened when they fled 29 years ago. she says, she won't let her daughter's childhood be destroyed like hers was analog get a method as a love. our children have to be here. we have to bring them up here because we run this land back with the blood of our soldiers. the government built village and shops a school and a workshop where women get paid to make medical clothing and masks. so for instance of halo, it feels incredible to be back. the last 30 years of our life was bad. we lived in camps and often on the streets level. yes. flags fly over the grave of

a soldier above the village. there's no agreement on a peaceful solution to the conflict oven ago. no, kara back. only hope that the killing will finally stop char stafford al jazeera a gully. possibly john was stiff and wolf as a professor of international security at the university of birmingham. he joins me live from there. thank you very much for being on this news out of his will. what do you make her nancy pelosi decision to go to armenia now. i think is very important in the larger picture of what's going on in the region and beyond. hello, this the 1st a very high ranking us government official since i mean the us in dependence. and it comes at the time where we see a lot of instability, what you might call rush us back on. so from that perspective below see going,

they are citing very clearly based on media, i think is the significant step in the way in which on the united states, on our re engaging in the course of your profit as a by sean has recently responded and said her remarks just escalate tension. do you think fighting is likely to any get worse now? well, at the moment it seems that the sci fi own is reasonably possible to have been on efforts by booth washer and the united states to calm the situation down. so from that perspective, i think that the visits by pelucci at a rhetorical level, certainly the last minute things. but i think it is not likely that we'll see, returned to certainly not the level of fighting that we had seen in 2020. 0, just on russia. both countries were obviously part of the soviet union. what part do you think of russia has to play here? now?

nothing for russia is increasingly difficult to continue playing. the paulding had played over the past 30 years, and we have seen the decline of rational influence on in the number of regions lives. it's obviously the south caucasus, where we now have a situation where washing peacekeepers at the com line of demarcation between our media and also by john. basically have become completely insignificant as a by john now feels comfortable enough to on a tech on media and to, to take for the territory back from them. that would have been a situation that i think would have been very difficult to imagine. even a year ago before washer us invasion of ukraine. and i think that signals that are washer is really a power in decline even in its own back yield. to think that tear the war in ukraine has distracted rusher as well. well, i think it's paula destruction,

and partly it's a question or flaw washing capabilities. but we have seen it. ukraine is quite significant. operational, the feet of russian forces, around hawkish and in the household area. over the past several weeks. i think russia simply doesn't have the forces to project any more into its own off neighborhood if you won't. and of course, is something that is becoming very obvious to our countries around russia, a school. and i think it is an indication that there is no paternity now, but me for the worst. i had 2 criteria, washington friends in the south caucasus even more. but also we have seen in censure asia in the recent online pool. a conflict between gong, tajikistan and co gastorm. rationally in france there is declining, has fallen that office the represents on which unity for china to step in to this

vacuum that was being left behind by rashana and j. j. thank you very much for your analysis. that stiff and wolf from the university of birmingham with the russian president has spoken by phone to the leaders of kyrgyzstan and touch extern urging them to prevent further fighting along their disputed border. the to blame each other for the latest flare up of violence. thousands of people have been killed since wednesday. will ukraine's presidents is evidence of widespread torture has been found. as more bodies on earth did a mass burial site in the east. the city of assume it was retaken from russian forces last week. the czech republic, which holds the e u presidency as calling for an international war crimes tribunal to be established. the head of the pro russian forces that retreated from his zoom has accused ukraine of staging atrocities. the pro russian forces in the eastern city

have done its say at least 4 people have been killed by shelling. the said he is on the russian control, and it's me, as is the central part of done, it's was attacked. and one of the main electricity lines in this upper region nuclear power plant and southern ukraine has been reconnected. it's now supplying power again from the ukrainian grid. over the last 2 weeks, all 4 lines had been cut off during fighting near the russian held facility. where you as president joe biden has warned russia against using chemical or nuclear weapons in ukraine to avenge its losses. he was speaking on the c b s 60 minutes program. latimer. bruton is becoming embarrassed and pushed into a corner. and i wonder mister president, what you would say to him if he is considering using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons don't don't, don't. who would change the face of war on like anything since war 2.

and the consequences of that would be what about with the u. s. response b, you think i would tell you if i knew exactly what of the course market will be consequential. they'll become more of a prior in the world than they ever have been the depending on the extent of what they do, determine what response we're just on now for the with his kara hello, they will start in south asia. and as the death toll continues to rise from those floods in pakistan, the skies that remain clear, and we're going to see some warns come in particular across northern areas, low horsing, the temperature climb into the higher thirties, much dryer for the north west of indian, you delhi, it seems sunshine that's through to the mid week when the rain arrives, but for the wetter weather we have to look to the east for places like a dish. we have got watches out for the heavy rain and that's thanks to when windy weather swirling around the bay of bangor chucking heavy rain towards places like me. and my aunt bungler dash in the days ahead. no speaking of heavy rain as we

move to east asia, we've got typhoon nan model working its way east across japan. now this is a very powerful system. it has been downgraded, but it is likely to bring some exceptionally heavy rain as well as powerful winds. and we are likely to see destruction and damage from that storm. we had a rare special warning ahead of it. you can see we've still got exceptionally powerful gusts of when we could see up to half a meter of rain, and it could lead to landslides and mud slides by tuesday. it works its way very close to tokyo, bringing the rain before it pulls out further to see by the time we get to wednesday, we'll see some improvement in tokyo on thursday. but still ahead on al jazeera medical procedures in the ukiah put on hold as the nation comes to a stop for the funeral of queen elizabeth the 2nd. plus. what you see behind me are flowers in a very unlikely place. coming up, i'll tell you about a wonder of nature in the at that gamma the world's try as desert and in sports

there have been some surprise when is it cycling road world championships? andy will be here with that story. ah ah. ah.

safe going home and then international anti corruption. excellence award boat. now for your hero, lou ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories, the salad, the us house speaker says she strongly condemned what she calls illegal attacks by also by john on armenia. as a by sean called the comments unfair, an substantiated, nancy. pelosi was speaking in europe on just days after an outbreak of violence

between the 2 countries where ukraine's precedence is evidence of widespread torture has been found. as more bodies or on earth did a mess, burial sites and assume the eastern city was retaken from russian forces last week . and thousands of people in london continue to wait for alice to pay their respects to queen elizabeth. the cue is more than 6 kilometers long. sunday is the last chance to see her coffin lying and state before mondays, state funeral. otis dunlap's, a royal historian, and the author of the upcoming book, elizabeth and philip a story of young love. she's in london and with me now live. thank you very much for being on the program. a physical you know, the past week or so operation london bridge has been organized and discussed for years. if not decades. do you think it has all gone to plan what, what do you make of it? yeah, i think in terms of the national choreography,

and it's been exceptional in many ways. and i've noticed also that the national broadcast as tended to have towed the line that's been a very reverential tone, maintained in britain. over the last 10 days, i noticed a more left leaning paper, referred to this as performative unity and wondered what was going to happen in the wake of monday. but at the moment, very much focused on that state funeral. on respecting an exceptional monarch, a dignified monarch, and somebody of course, who tied britain back to the high noon of our identity. the blitz, the 2nd world war, and winston churchill, your booker is coming out, elizabeth and philip a story of young love. can you explain just how important he was to the queen? absolutely vital. i mean, she said herself, he was her strength and stay in that quote, actually came just a few months after the death of the late princess diana,

when they were in the middle of a very, very challenging decade in the 19 ninety's the house of wins. i saw deep seated unpopularity, the like of which the monarch he hadn't seen for about a 150 years. and i think it's really worth a pause for thought to acknowledge just how the royal family have turned round. that narrative in the last 25 years. and it's interesting that even the republican minority in this country, while some would say they haven't been allowed a voice, they to have sort of acknowledged. we do need to recognize. she was an exceptional woman. so yeah. and that i don't think could have been done without phillips support. he was an outside to himself, of course stopped in the press, the greek prince. and that wasn't fed in a flattering way in 1947, you know, britain with, i think pretty intolerant of the idea of any foreign i getting my hands anywhere

near our british monarchy. but he stayed the course and in many respects that was the high point of the family molnar key. that was very much brand windsor in the middle of the 20th century. but you describe the queen as an exceptional woman and, and you sealants, prime minister, has described her as an inspiration to female leaders around the world. so what sort of role model has the queen been for women in particular? well, it's so interesting. i was when i was born old that she, when i grew up in the 1980s, the prime minister, margaret thatcher, was a woman. and i had a state. the queen was a woman. the back door was extraordinarily female. and the queen going farther back . she assumes head of state the road, had to stay early. her father dies age just 56. so she is but $25.00 in a nor to progressive decade for women. the 1950s, it was all about being the perfect housewife. she had to manage the expectations of

alpha male husband philip, and be head of state. and of course, one of her big jobs. make sure she had more children. she'd already had. of course, by the time she got to the throne charles and on that was going to be another 2. so she with juggling those both in a way that the majority of women still want and society holding very firmly on to traditional gender phase. that was going to break down, but then when you get sort of 2nd way, feminism in the sixties and seventies. well, the role of family has always been a sort of traditional force, a force that preserved and conferred rather than progressed and led from the front . people couldn't really a cheese, monica having let them down because she'd been working during the fifties and sixties. arguably, she was a pin up there for both for the traditionalists and so too, for the progressive. and in many respects, elizabeth has always been this remarkable blank canvas upon which we project our own hopes and emotions. and i think we see that at the moment with those hundreds

of thousands of people in the queue, do you have a moment or an occasion that term, that sort of sums the queen up that would, might give us a little bit of insight into what she was like as a person i think that it's really important to understand how she learn on the job. and for me, i did a lot of research into her trip. just before her father died. she was assuming more and more responsibilities because he was very ill. she was young, she was newly married, she leaves behind her children. she goes with philip to canada and to america. and if you read all the press, philip, is the man in the head like he's the blown boy, the americans company. if i good looking, he is, and they common that he steals the show and is a shy little princess who's been, you know, a government trained and she's been cordoned off during the war in windsor castle. and what's remarkable is how she grows into that role. so quickly,

so by the time in 1954, just 2 years later, she goes on a gigantic commonwealth tall that takes in huge swathe that the well, she spent 3 months alone in australia, new zealand. actually, she's the one that very much front footing it and managing it. and philip is having to adjust to to staying 2 steps behind. and i think that balance that she managed to achieve both in public and in her private life with an extraordinary feed. and of course, she moved through a period that started in the 2nd world war traveling right up to the modern day. this period of social fluidity and change, and somehow she retained our respect until her dying day. she was an extraordinary pen up and an extraordinary pin up fernanda genario. and he get so little at a time. and who of course is so imperiled. during our recent pandemic end date, thank you so much for your your time and you are inside us to sit down. lot of real historian from london. thank you. hill is britain prepares for its 1st state

funeral and decades. some are concerned about the affix on essential services. monday's public holiday is leading to already delayed health appointments, been cancelled, and many private funerals being postponed. hurry for such reports. britton's national health services experiencing its longest waiting times on record as tests and treatments put on hold through the pandemic work their way through the system. on monday, thousands of appointments have been postponed for the public holiday of the queen's funeral. i had an appointment canceled on monday, so i came up today and i think that's fine. i'm glad that they were able to see me a different time quickly. it was kind of a really, really upset. i do understand why the queen, i don't know what i've just had my blood done because i didn't see that bad monday . i think it's very unfortunate that that's happened. emergency treatments and

urgent procedures will still go ahead as planned. that reduced staffing means many other appointments will be fit family. doctor appointments will also suffer with many medical centers shut for the day over 3. as anxious as obliged to go by the national holidays at the same time. we have to look after our patients. so we are sort of stuck in the middle where we have to bug respect the public opinion as well as the government opinion for example. and so i think, you know, it's probably a very difficult situation that the interest is in at the moment. and is the country prepares for the queen's funeral, others being put on hold. funeral director francis l cook has seen one plan ceremony on monday postponed the fear it would be overshadowed and that people might not come. she says she's heard of other families, especially those who booked commissions, having funerals cancelled against their wishes. the feeling is that, you know, if it's their mom, this died. their mom is more important to them than the queen. however much they love the queen. and because of the long you meant to grief around they sort of
