what do we do and what are you going to do to keep out of the sort of language that keeps the red blood women write a fight for equality and got them eric, i was told to think that with women, we made a challenge in the region i will not be pro life. i want freedom . we don't have read them in this country. he's about 2 weeks now, 3 days, journey to with someone destroys our country. someone needs to rebuild. ah the last chance to say farewell thousands of people from around the world queuing for hours in london to pay their respects to queen elizabeth.

ah. hello, i'm tell mccrae, this is elgin here, live from door. ha, also coming up the us house speaker, nancy pelosi is on a visit to russia's close ally, armenia with pledges to secure democracy and security. protests and haiti have disrupted the islands drinking water distribution and a tropical storm was threatening to make matters worse. and ukraine, unlike men, women are not obliged to register for mandatory military service, but that could be changing very soon. a look at how women and ukraine are on the front line in the fight against russia invasion. ah. we begin in the united kingdom, where the nation is preparing to say

a final good bye to queen elizabeth the 2nd king charles the 3rd arrived at buckingham palace a few hours ago. he is attending a formal briefing on the funeral arrangements that begin it's 10 o'clock g m t. on monday, around 500 foreign dignitaries have been invited to attend the ceremony, and members of the public as sole queuing for the last chance to see her coffin lying and stace. it's around a 13 hour white will. ellen fisher joins me live now from buckingham palace and we understand kings charles and the queen's consort due to make an appearance. has there been any sign of them? yes. well i think that is perhaps growing less likely simply because if you look over to the front of buckingham palace, they have cleared the crowds away from their that has happened in the last hour or so that is going to be the position until after the funeral. service itself, there's still people lined up along the mall,

which we do to westminster abbey. to admiralty arch at the top of the mall. they're hoping that they will be able to stay here overnight and stake their position for following the funeral service itself. but as you see, the line, the queue that has become a tourist attraction in itself here in london. and there are still people in line. in fact, i spoke to someone who had met a woman who had been in the line, spent 18 hours to get to the front, had gone through westminster hall. and her intention was to go to a hotel and victoria just the other side of buckingham palace have a few asleep. and then she was going to join the line again. but she said she felt a real connection with the queen. a spiritual moment as she walked through the hall and she wanted to experience that again. but for the moment a prince charles, who is the number of imported meetings due to come in the next couple of hours. i think it's unlikely that the walk about that we had been told was likely to happen

is in fact going to happen. thank you very much for that update that helen fisher for us from buckingham palace. the queens funeral is putting extra pressure on essential services. many appointments and operations long wasted by patience are being cancelled. funerals are also one holes. harry force that report from london on a day where lives across the united kingdom will effectively come to a halt. 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. i quickly if i was a patient i'll be really, really upset. i do understand why

i don't know what i've just had my blood's down because i didn't see that bad. no monday. i think it's very unfortunate that that's happened in emergency treatments and urgent procedures will still go ahead as planned. that reduced stuffing means many other appointments will be fit family. doctor appointments will also suffer with many medical centers. shut for the day. over the as anxious is 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 both 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 anathema 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 the sort of taken away. some of the sort of, i suppose, how they feel they can grieve for an event on this scale. one day of national polls were widely be seen as appropriate, but for those have been negotiated. the delays and backlogs of a cobra health service that one day could have been a much priced the surgery. well, cancer treatment at the very least, its a reminder that the multiple problems this government faces will remain after the morning period ends. and they'll need to be dealt with hurry faucet, i'll just euro london too often use in the us. house speaker says she strongly condemns what she calls illegal attacks by other by sean, on armenia as the by sean has denounced the comments as unsubstantiated and unfair . nancy pelosi was speaking in europe and 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 by john force, a war in 2020. hello. c is the highest ranking us official to visit our media since it gained independence from the soviet union and $991.00. her meeting weekend has a particular importance to us because of the focus on security following the legal and deadly attack of by the on button on the amelion on a territory. we strongly condemn those tags. in our delegation and on behalf of congress, which threatens prospects are much needed piece agreement. but the 2 countries have been in complex for decades over the disputed region of the corner car box. but this week mark to major escalation was shelling, happening within many as sovereign territory. as a by john says it was responding to provocation by armenia. tony ching isn't your

van? he has more on nancy pelosi visit. she's just again the united states valued deeply. the democratic values here, she said that the, this was a country was very important in the fight between democracy and autocracy. she didn't make any specific security guarantees. she said that the united states had committed to helping armenia develop the 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 commitments. there was those to have the united states might back that up. nonetheless, i think it was a message of very wholehearted support. the fact that she is the most senior american to visit since 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 media here. they think there is a way, not for a military solutions of the tensions on the board, but through diplomacy and through economic development. the us established 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, the going to a car box peace process as a co chair of the so called mince group with russia and france. it's the largest provider of humanitarian and technical aid to armenia, supplying nearly $3000000000.00 and funding over the last 30 years. at the same time, it's given more than $1500000000.82 as

a buy sean. that includes at least $164000000.00 and direct military aid that's been criticized by armenian groups and 2019 joe biden became the 1st us president to formally recognize the mass killing of more than 1000000 armenians under the ottoman empire during world war one as an act of genocide, it's a description. the turkish government rejects or for read shift years is the chairman of the center of analysis of international relations. he says, policies trip is all about gaining votes. back in america in the upcoming mid term elections. you asked is not playing great role play to role as a news group 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 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 you look at the facts of the ground are mean is the closest armenian military. a lot of come on, we got our media support that russian. i'm exceptional for. and yeah, i mean, in, by the way, when the speaking of all the recent clashes between us and my job, it's not separate incident. speaking about 30 years old conflict, which was caused by the armenian tutorial claims and subsequent occupational was it was an international. i got and i said it already includes a car. so all these factors shows that what, what our mean deed and on what side of our meaning comes of the military alliance. i think it's just purely pretty election campaign. then as a vice,

young people have returned to the 1st village to be reconstructed since with armenia 2 years ago. despite the violence in recent days, they say that determined to stay and rebuild their lives shall stretch. it has more from a galley in as a by john baez's erie graves 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. hello. 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 upsurge in 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. for longest 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 gamma didn't allow. our children have to be here. we have to bring in, not pierre, 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, a little yellow. flags fly over the grave of a soldier above the village. there is no agreement on a peaceful solution to the conflict over nagondo kara back. only hope that the killing will finally stop char stafford al jazeera a garley. possibly. john was still ahead on al jazeera 4000000 people are ordered to evacuate as japan prices for tie for mann, middle to mike land full. 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 upper comma, the world's tries desert. ah,

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 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. i this was a young woman, the likes of which we please. this is important. this is response from breaking down the headlines to exposing the powers attempting to silence reporting. we're seeing media freedom being threatened and attacked is basically criminalizing journalism. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covered. people have no idea what the source of uses that to the game that

rolled. and that was for the avenue twice on out is there. ah ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories. the sour, thousands of people in london continued to wait for hours to pay their respects to queen elizabeth. the queue is more than 6 kilometers long. sunday is the last chance to see her coffin lying in state before monday state funeral. the us house because as she strongly condemns, what she calls a legal attacks by as a, by shot on our media as a by john called the comments unfair and unsubstantiated. nancy pelosi was speaking
