6:00 pm
this is the face of hunger, to describe what is happening here as desperation, trivializes the extent of the suffering. there's been a scramble at the supply truck because people here know that there is not enough for everyone, but they are still the lucky ones here across the way where the road has been completely washed away. or people cut off from other villages as the trucks begin to empty, panic returns and people jump the queue once again. making sure the weakest and the crown women children, the sick and elderly don't get pushed to the back of the one. often requires force . ah, this is al jazeera ah,
6:01 pm
hello, i am sammy's a dan. this is the news. our live from dell are coming up in the next 60 minutes in to the final hours. the last chance to bid farewell to the queen. thousands of people continued to make their way past her coffin. sporadic fighting still on the way between azerbaijan and armenia. you ask how speaker nancy pelosi visits out of am pledging to secure democracy. insecurity, powerful earthquake strikes taiwan, destroying buildings and bridges in remote areas. and it's for an art mar, back on top of the english, primarily they beat line and rivals run for a to clean to fix the leak wind up the season. ah, we begin this news hour in the united kingdom where the nation is preparing to say
6:02 pm
a final good bye to queen elizabeth the 2nd king charles the 1st arrived at buckingham palace a few hours ago. he's attended a formal briefing on the funeral arrangements that begins at 10 o'clock g m t. on monday, around $500.00 foreign dignitaries have been invited to attend the ceremony. members of the public are still queuing for their last chance to see how coffin lying in state. it's about a 13 hour wait right now. alan fisher is live for us outside buckingham palace. but 1st, let's go to andrew simon says standby for us at westminster abbey. so andrew, we're expecting more v. i piece to shop. take us through that. yes, sir. now, this is variously described as a once in a lifetime event, to a colossal event of major importance or whatever you describe it, you really get
6:03 pm
a sense of enormity right now. the most striking thing here in front of westminster abbey, whether a funeral service will take place is that queue. you mentioned that snaking right the way through london is even a. you can even see it on a, a satellite image. now looking down below, people having an extraordinary experience from all parts of the world. and it's what the queen would want. and those 500 invitations at least 500. that has to be said to queens canes, presidents heads of government, prime ministers, other delegations. it's colossal and with it, ah shed your that is fine tuned. you're seeing there, of course the, what the westminster hall are, which is where president joe biden. and the 1st lady jill will be ushered into within the next couple of hours, they will say their farewells to a monarch who they saw only her. in fact last year, the g 7,
6:04 pm
when the president was there, he actually met the queen in windsor. and they had tea together for president biden had, in fact, seen the queen before when he was a senator. and that's back in 1992 totally overwhelmed by her presence. that's just one. had a state of so many, they will be going to to see the coffin in the hall, along with all the bystanders. all the people coming through in that queue, they are avoiding, holding the queue up. it would seem a heads of states and o v i p 's by positioning themselves by kind of the queue behind those, paying their last respects at so that they don't interfere with the progress. and of course now, warnings going out that people should not join the end of this q because they may not get to see the coughing. that's the big dilemma now in terms of that whole
6:05 pm
development, because at 630 local time on monday, they will have to close the doors to get ready for the funeral. a moment, go as you are to how we can see it. now the suit, plenty of fur elise behind you, andrew. and am wondering with so many people so many v i p 's hours the security operation. look like what you're beginning to see that the scale of it, the crowds of has to be said, the crowds, aside from the queue. the crowds, a gathering people be staying here overnight, outside westminster, abbey, or all over london. people deciding to rough it for a chance to see just the cortez going pass on its way to windsor at some stage. on monday of the police, you'll be seeing a large numbers of snipers on rooftops or something like 2000000 people will be all on lining the roots. that's a colossal police operation. tens of thousands of police being brought in from
6:06 pm
other provinces, right across the u. k. there are also large divisions of the military on duty plus intelligence services and also plain clothes, police, thousands of them. it is a truly massive operation. it's been described by some senior officers as the biggest, most intense organization and threat at since the 2nd world war. thank you, andrew. from outside, then westminster. now what we're going to do is going to cross over to alan fisher . he's outside buckingham palace, the official residence of the british monarch since 18. 37, very much seen as the queen's home once the scene. what's the crowds in the turn out? what does it look like? veronda? after $23.00. well, if you look over my shoulder, you can see that the area in front of buckingham palace has been cleared of the crowd. first of all in preparation for the funeral. morrow,
6:07 pm
but also because that expecting a number of world leaders to arrive here in the coming hours. we saw prince charles arrive a few hours ago. he came from clowns house. no, far away in london to buckingham palace. he's not seeing there at the moment. they are cutting extensive renovation to the plumbing and electrical work there. so he is staying at club house, but he came for his meeting with us trust the new you to prime minister. you remember that she was the, as the queen county don't last official duty, a week passed on tuesday at ball moral when she was invited on the form of government. that's exactly the rule of the mona. no one can form a government here unless they are invited to do so by the queen. he had a meeting with her, which lasted for just under an hour, a buckingham palace. he will meet the prime ministers of the dominions, essentially the countries where king charles is officially the head of state. so you're talking about the likes of new zealand, australia,
6:08 pm
and canada. just to do that. prime minister are then they're all going to be here for a meeting. and then that will run into a meeting of all the delegations have been invited to the funeral. 6 countries have not been invited to the funeral. we're talking about russia and bella, ruth and bell, it's been is wheeler. we're also talking about an afghan is done. and me and my 3 countries have been invited, ambassadorial level. so of government has a state not invited and that includes nicaragua. it also includes north korea and iran, so that meeting will take place. so that's part of the reason why this has been cleared is a big security area. we've seen teams going around checking the area as they would do before a high profile visits to buckingham palace. so this area has been closed. that are some people who are over on that side who are still hoping that they are able to camp out over night. because as andrew was saying,
6:09 pm
there are many people here who want to be able to see the funeral cortez as it passes by. and we saw king charles make a surprise appearance yesterday. want sir on his plans for today doing now. while there was some told that he was going to come out and greet the people who have been here at buckingham palace give, no people have been gathering. he has his news of the queen's death broke more than a week ago, and it seemed that that might happen. but clearly, given that they have cleared everyone away from the front of the polish thought is not going to happen. and he does have a very busy day, and we knew that the prince has a political rule to play here in the united kingdom. but he can't be political in that role. we know that they did, i could just call him the prince. it's an old habit because we're so used to calling him prince charles. of course, the king has had his pet projects. he talked about organic food before. it was
6:10 pm
popular. he was regarded as an equal warrior at before. it became, i thing to do. even though he still travelled on private jets. and so he had those positions and people that are aware of his stance and those because of his campaigning over a number of years. but he can't push any agenda. as people said, the queen probably had their own opinions of beauty as prime ministers and babies political stances. but you never knew what the, where she kept them very much to herself. and that is a rule that king charles has to adopt. t already said that the causes that he, he championed in the past he could no longer do. he realizes that is head of state . that is the king he has to be seen as neutral or i thanks so much john fisher. i'll add owens is a royal historian, commentator, and also he's in london and joined us from the live good to have you with us. so
6:11 pm
1st of all, let's talk about the depth of the morning of the british people. is it solely about the passing of the queen? is it also about the passing of an arrow, the passing of what's seen as a more stable time? what a great question star, i think when we look at this this moment in time, there are lots of different emotions being expressed publicly. clearly there's a sense of morning for the, for the monocle is but the 2nd also perhaps what she represented. certainly people of her own generation, she was, if you like a constant mock or a constant link to bygone day stretching back before the 2nd world war. but for younger generations, i think the, the, the elizabeth and monica meant something entirely different. often they, they related more, more directly with younger members of the british royal family and not in that respect, at least it lives on in terms of the complexity of emotion that's also being
6:12 pm
expressed here. clearly here in london, there is a real sense solve of morning of grief. people have come from around the world and across the country to pay that respects to live for the 2nd. we see that today and over the last couple of days in westminster hall with this, this long q of people coming to pay respect to the, to the monarch who is lying and state at the same time. if we, if we take a look further afield, we know that there are all sections of the british public who want has as deeply engaged in this, this period of morning that that's because they have different views on the monarchy. and i think social media in particular has given if you like a voice in a platform for views of descent, those that doesn't necessarily at here. so this, this, this, this vision of morning that we see in central london has been talk about how unprecedented the crowds have been. when we look at the passing of monex,
6:13 pm
i'm sure you do as a historian, how unprecedented is the turn out? i think there is an unprecedented level of interest in this particular monarch mainly due to her longevity. but crabs have been a part of if you like, of the public spectacle of monarchy to going back 120150 years. if we go back 121 years to the funeral of then queen victoria there was a lot of emphasis placed on, on the cries that, that again withdrawn to london to pay final respects to the modem in 1910, her son edward. the 7 he died and for the 1st time we had a lying in state reintroduce that was the 1st time the westminster hole saw big keys of people. again stretching it was estimated 5 miles with up to 500000 members of the british public. joining the cue to pass for the king's coffin in
6:14 pm
1910 to pay their respects him. so yes, that has been president the, the level of interest that we're witnessing today. nevertheless, i think what really distinguishes this moment from previous a big royal state funerals is the role that television is playing. it is the 1st time that we're going to witness a funeral unfold in westminster abbey. and the television audience is going to have 1st had access to this kind of royal rule funeral through the television screens. all right, thanks so much for your analysis and thoughts on that. now the queen's funeral is putting extra pressure on essential services. many appointments and operations long awaited by patience of being cancelled, funerals are on hold. hurry false reports from london on a day where lives across the united kingdom will effectively come to
6:15 pm
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 cancellation, i'll be really, really upset. and i do understand why respect to the way i don't know what i've just had my blood's down because i didn't think that on monday i think it's very unfortunate that that's happening. 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 3 as anxious is obliged to go by
6:16 pm
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 dentist 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 they sort of taken away some of the sort of as opposed to how they feel they can grieve for an event on the scale. one day of national pores were widely be seen as appropriate. but for those who've been negotiating the delays and backlogs of a cobra,
6:17 pm
it health service that one day could have been much prize the surgery. well, cancer treatment, at the very least, it's a reminder that the multiple problems this government faces will remain after the morning period ends. and they'll need to be dealt with our full set. i'll just era london plenty more had on the news r, including, don't, don't, don't joe biden warn, thrasher against using nuclear weapons in response to ukraine's counter offensive. protests in haiti have disrupted the islands drinking water distribution, but the tropical storm is threatening to make matters worse. ah, then sport, we'll take a look at our candidate as men's theme made it to their 1st football world captain, close to for decades. ah.
6:18 pm
how speaker of the us house of representatives is pledge support for our menia after recent fighting on the border with azerbaijan? nancy pelosi is the most senior us official to visit our media since the dissolution of the soviet union, or what role the u. s. could play in a permanent peace process is far from claris. tony chang reports aah! alongside her armenian counterpart, nancy pelosi paying her respect to the genocide memorial. the speaker of the house of representatives appeared moved. but the message was clear. the united states, as standing firmly alongside armenia in it's time of need. later in the day, after meetings in the national assembly, she was equally resolute and meeting again had a particular importance to us because of the focus on security following the illegal and deadly attention as
6:19 pm
a by the as it began up back on the amine territory, we strongly condemn those tactfully in our delegation on behalf of congress, which threatens prospects for much ne piece agreement, but pelosi wouldn't be drawn on how the u. s. might contribute to the piece process we were here to listen to our mean is security need. she said, but conceited. the russia had broken the seas far. that's currently in place. initiate either series on the streets of the capital protest as cold for an end to the russian broke a peace process. under the collective security treaty organisation, or c, s t o o, we have an alliance with russia, which is not protecting us. and we are added that end. we are like hostages in our own country, but armenia is in europe and that is it. we are european country. can you hear people are shouting out of c a, c l out of c s t o a calling out of the companies more than one agrees.
6:20 pm
it's not you romney? duncan does me she was gotten what is it? no one knows exactly while everyone wants american support, no one can agree on how that my work in practice. and here on the border talk of peace seems very far away. the recent outbreak of fighting has left these villages deserted. after farmers fled the shelling that hit the homes and the military moved in as boring. the fact is that at this moment other about johnny's targeting civilians. and there isn't an adequate response from the international community yet, which is not good in the vast grass lands and hills on the border. the pathway to a permanent piece remains elusive and out of sight. tony chang al jazeera, your van of the us, established diplomatic relations with both armenia and as by john in 1992,
6:21 pm
following their independence from the soviet union. washington's played a key role in the nevada no cut about 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 has given more than $1500000000.00 and a 2 as of a john. that includes at least 164000000 indirect military aid has been criticized by all means in groups. and 2019 job i became the 1st us president, formerly recognized the mass killing of more than 1000000 armenians under the ottoman empire during world war one. as an act of genocide, its description, the turkish government rejects. let's go to alex gets gay. he's the program director,
6:22 pm
the armenian national committee of america joins us from washington. d. c. the 1st of all, to what extent do you think the comment spine, nancy pelosi will be understood as expressing official u. s. foreign policy rather than the the opinion of the speaker of the house of representative thank you saw me and look, i think this delegation and the remarks by speaker pelosi were an important step towards demonstrating us commitment to upholding and defending human rights and democracy. especially in the face of authoritarian expansionism, but through the speaker explicitly condemning, authored by john's illegal and unprovoked attack on armenia and on civilian populations in armenia. this is also a principle step towards holding author by john to account for its aggression. but on that point, what we need now is to see these powerful words translated into our actual action to hold as bai's onto account. and that must begin with the immediate suspension of
6:23 pm
both of the military assistance to us or by john ryan. you mentioned that principal stand against expansionism, but of course un security council resolutions 822853884, refer to the occupation of a very land by a local armenian forces, right? so they expansionism, according to international law, the, the occupation is the occupation of a very territories. is this really about principles, or is this about politics for nancy pelosi? this is about principal the armenian people of art, such as the armenians referred when is the indigenous ancestral lands of the armenian people. it has been inhabited by armenians for several thousands of years . the armenian people, the un security council resolutions wrong them when they talk about the occupation of a very territories. does that what you're telling really, what you're telling views. the security council resolutions also applied explicitly
6:24 pm
to other by john to cease all aggressive actions against the local army and populations and battle capacious not, not about sees fires. i can read to hear the text of a tape to refers to recently occupied areas of azerbaijan, the same sentence in 853884, cause upon armenia to stop, to ensure that their forces and not provided armenian force is not provided with the means to extend their military campaign further, right is the un security council got it wrong. and it also called an officer by john to seize all aggression against the people, and did not at all undermine the fundamental right to self determination of the armenians of arts, or to live peacefully and freely in their lands free from persecution at the hands of us or by john, which is what was occurring at the time of the conflict when hundreds of thousands of army and civilians were false from their homes and were systematically discriminated against and prosecuted during programs across the country. so this is
6:25 pm
a matter of principle, this is a matter of internationally recognized human rights, the right to self determination and the rights of people to live peacefully and freely in their homes and in their lands. and haven't really answer the question the about whether the school counselor, right, when it said it's a very territory that's being occupied. the security council did not get it right. the territory, there is not to be foreign officer by johnny territory. it is considered disputed and subject to an internationally broken, c, c, fire and an international peace process. on the be offices will be our c mince group to determine the final resolution of the conflict that takes into account the fundamental rights felton combination for the army and people in there. and central lands ok will live for us to decide. you certainly may declare that you think the un security council is got it wrong once you make then of the suggestions that nancy pelosi is simply playing to the armenian american vote ahead of the u. s. mid term elections. nancy pelosi has been
6:26 pm
a stalwart eye of the armenian community for the many years that she's been in congress. and this visit was a demonstration about support not only to armenians here, but also armenians across the world. as they faced this blatant unprovoked attack on armenian sovereign territory, and it's important here to distinguish that this is occurring on and within the internationally recognized borders of the republic of armenia against civilian populations. we've seen over 150 deaths now on the armenian side, over a 100 injuries and casualties amongst civilians too. and the deliberate targeting of residential buildings, medical facilities, medical vehicles, and civilian populations and villages. so this is not about politics. this is about standing up for democracy is about standing up the human rights. and it's about taking a stand against author by john, which is one of the most abusive dictatorships in the world. all right, thank you so much for sharing your perspective on that. thank you for having me.
6:27 pm
people have returned to the 1st village, rebuilt, and as by john since the 2020 war with armenia despite the violence in recent days, they say they determined to stay and rebuild their lives. charles stratford has more from the galley. and as by john these as airy 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
6:28 pm
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, one of almost 70 families who moved back so far along as cries, she listens 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 let go after that our children have to be here. we have to bring them up here because we won this land back with the blood of our soldiers. the government built the village
6:29 pm
shops, a school and a workshop where women get paid to make medical clothing and masks. so it feels incredible to be back. the last 30 years of our life was bars. we lived in camps and often on the streets and flags flying over the grave of a soldier above the village. there's no agreement on a peaceful solution to the conflict of and gone kara back. only hope that the killing will finally stop. cha stafford al jazeera, a golly, as a by john. the russian president has spoken by phone to the leaders of kit, a guest, stan and jacob stan urging them to prevent further fighting along than disputed border. but to blame each other for the latest flare up of violence, dozens of people have been killed since wednesday. authorities in egypt have ordered the release of al jazeera journalist after the next day. he was arrested in
