tournament is staged, the super caught between the champions of egypt and saudi arabia, within, near a capacity crowd of 75000 supporters. that's all we have time for so big. thank you to our guest, christopher sullivan, and scott rental. next month we'll be switching continents to focus on the asian teams. i'll be heading to qatar as we get ever closer to november's mid event. and of course, al jazeera will keep you right up to date, every step of the way with ah, a president bid farewell, joe biden, and the 1st lady jill pay tribute to queen elizabeth, lying in state westman the whole.

ah, i'm sammy's aid and now just here alive from dell hall. so coming up into the final as the last chance to bid farewell to the queen. thousands of people continue to make their way past her coffin. the delicate balance between paying tribute to queen elizabeth and paying the bills during the you case, cost of living crisis and how speak, visits, rushes closest ally armenia replied just to secure democracy and security. ah, ah, us president joe biden is paid in respect to queen elizabeth. the 2nd appeared on the balcony in westminster hall. as a stream of people filed past the queen's coffin. the president was accompanied by

his wife jill, and the us ambassador to britain more worldly. this continued to arrive in london on the eve of the monarch's funeral. under simmons joins us now from westminster abbey andrew. we saw moments ago the u. s. president there paying tribute, as he paid his respects to the late queen. yes, by special invitation list. the last hope high profile arrival so far and the guest list, joe biden, the 1st lady jill stood in silence looking on at this extraordinary scene for 4th days of lying in state. now the queen's coffin draped in the royal n sign. the crown sparkling in the candle lights, the silence, the soft silence, and the occasional tap tap of the rod at change guards. 8 guards

guarding that coffin. after this they moved on to sign the condolence book at the lancaster house. not far away, but they actually both signed the book and they also, the president then addressed the media and the spoke of the life of service. the queen had engaged in what a remarkable figure she was and what a massive loss to the country she was. he said that it was a loss. he said that leaves a giant hole and sometimes you think you will never overcome it. but that is what he said as they are now moving on. and that will be a full reception held by king charles with an enormous a guest list of the biggest assembly of world leaders in decades.

and let's talk a little bit about that reception. a lot of world leaders, kings queens heads of states are going to be coming to buckingham palace. that's going to be quite a gathering right. andrew almost certainly more than 500 invitations sent out. so for security reasons, exact guess list isn't being quoted, but you've got kings, you've got queens from all over europe. you've got princes, princesses, ah, all heads of state are prime ministers, ministers, some delegations, small, some big. but it's actually a colossal occasion. the security is so difficult with such a large number of the i p 's and world leaders that they have a busing system where a bus goes to a hospital, a place for retired serviceman, some distance away from parliament square. and those buses or bus in the the heads

of state has been some complaints about the fact that limousines are being laid on . but this the size of this, the scale of it is such that the organizers have had to go for these buses. however, jacinta only and new zealand prime minister remarks, i can't understand what all the fuss is about the buses. i mean that that is one point. you have a whole series of commonwealth leaders here and that the words that are being used are republicans. but that there is a quiet acknowledgement that there is now going to be a difference, a shift of emphasis about the monarchy worldwide. a because this is a moment, probably not to discuss it. but you have to look at the situation with anthony albanese, and i'm looking what he said here. he was right diplomatic. he, he was overwhelmingly complimentary about the queen. but he has

a reportedly said that there will be a referendum about the monarchy and they will be in the future, but not in his term, not in his 1st term. he was recently elected and he has the he has categorically stated that that will not be a ref. and am i in honor of the queen in his 1st term. so times move on. time's change. but king charles, the 3rd is resolute in his stance. if you imagine it's more than a week since the queen died, he, he's been up every day apart from one day's rest or near rest. he has actually hit the ground running in every sense. and he has an extraordinary list of things to do, not just in terms of the funeral, but in the coming days. and also there has to be, it has to be said that, that the security question i've just referred to is colossal, or some sources a say within the security services. this is the biggest operation of its kind.

there's never been anything like it since the 2nd world war. 2000000 people will be lining the streets on monday. as that funeral cortez moves from here to windsor castle, where there will be in servants, and that will be the barrel in the king. king george's chapel later on monday evening, and that will be when finally, queen elizabeth is laid to rest alongside her husband, prince philip jacob. i did. all right, thanks so much andrew. there at westminster hall. i spent the abbey actually, i should say, a queen's funeral is putting extra pressure on essential services. many appointments, sand operations, long awaited by patience while they're being canceled. funerals also put on hold. harry forces reports from london on a day where many lives across the united kingdom will be disrupted. britton's

national health service is experiencing its longest waiting times on record as tests 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. i do understand why. either way i don't know what i've just had my blood done because i didn't think that bad. no monday. i think it's very unfortunate that happened in emergency treatments and urgent procedures will still go ahead as planned. that reduced staffing means many other appointments will be hit. family doctor appointments will also suffer with many medical centers shut for the day. over 3, 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 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 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. and 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 who've been negotiating the

delays and backlogs of a cobit health service that one day could have been a much price de surgery or 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 hurry for that. i'll just london. as far as he's in egypt, ordering the release of al jazeera john, the staff, and majesty, he was detained in august 2020 while visiting his family and been held without trial. ever since. nobody was accused of membership of a band group and spreading false information. he denies those charges. i'll just say media network has continually called for his release. 3 of his colleagues, he sham advisees. dana brought him and robin shall remain in detention in egypt. also without tribal charge. now the speaker of the us house of representatives is pledge support for armenia after recent fighting on the board

without survey john the 2 countries have been in conflict for decades over the disputed region. in the golden caliber, tony chang reports from the armenian capital, the out of 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 attacks. and as a, by the, as they hung up on the, on the territory, we strongly condemn those attacks. we, in our delegation on behalf of congress, which threatens prospects, are much ne,

peace agreement, but pelosi wouldn't be drawn on how the u. s. might contribute to the peace process . we were here to listen to our mean is security need. she said, but conceited. the russia had broken the seas. fathers currently in place initiated by the a series on the streets of the capitol protest is called for an end to the russian broken piece process under the collective security treaty organization, or c, s t o o. we have an alliance with russia, which is not protecting us, and we are at a dead end. we are like hostages in our own country, but armenia is in europe and that is it. we are a european country. can you hear people are shouting out of c s t o out of c s t o a pulling out a colleague, louise. rosemary won't agree. it's not you go romney. duncan does me. she was gotten with no one knows exactly one while everyone wants

american support. no one can agree on how that might work in practice to connie sanchez, good, 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 bullying. the fact is that at this moment other by johnny's targeting civilians and the reason and the quick response from the international community it, 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 european, the us established diplomatic relations with both armenia and as by john in 1992, following their independence from the soviet union. washington's play the key role in the nevada no catabolic piece 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 $1500000000.00 and aid to the bay. jan was that includes at least 164000000 indirect military aid that's being criticized by armenian groups in 2019 joe biden became the 1st us president. so formerly recognized the mass killings of more than $1000000.00 armenians under the ottoman empire during world war one. as an active genocide, it's a description. the turkish governments rejects alex kellit sky is the program director of the armenian national committee of america. he thinks the u. s should stop all military assistance, so either by john 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 civilian population 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 or by john to account. and that must begin with the immediate suspension of all further military assistance to us or by john the security council. resolutions also a wide, explicitly the author by john to cease all aggressive actions against local army and population. and did not at all undermine the fundamental rights of 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. busy from their homes and were systematically discriminated

against the prosecutor during programs across the country. so this is 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 across the border and as by john, the government is moved quickly to rebuild. shushan city was retaken in the war with armenia in 20. 20 charles strive for. has more on the situation from you show . the town you can see behind me in the valley. there is what's the armenians calls the planet. killed the aries, give it another name, they call it com 10 days. the pen occurred is, according to the air is occupied illegally by the armenians. this is very much a front line in the self declared republic of the goal. no kero back a republic that not a single country, not even armenia recognizes. now this particular area, as every forces took back control of it in 2020 after what they describe is it

being occupied by armenians for 30 years. interestingly, oscar the camera man. if you could pull down and have a look at the road down here, this road is called the latch in corridor. it is the only road that connects the panic, pert with the border of armenia, and it is regularly a flash point. it is sir, policed by russian peacekeepers in the last 1020 minutes or so. we've seen what we understand is armenian military moving along. it. people here tell us that there are regular skirmishes. heard in the surrounding hills between what they say could well be power, military armenian power, paramilitary groups. ready and, and, and as airy fighters here as airy military here. but we've also seen in this town, at the town of sasha some incredible rebuilding that's been going on in the last couple of years. the r as air is very keen to begin reconstruction. they are being

very successful and very quick in rebuilding roads, hotels renovating mosques, the church here as well. and there is a huge infrastructure push going on here. that i had an al jazeera. would you see behind me of flowers in a very unlikely place coming up? i'll tell you about a wonder of nature in the atlanta. the was price. desert. ah, the journey has begun. the 34 world camp is on its way to cattle. hook your travel package today. hello there. disruptive rain is affecting eastern parts of south africa. will had there in a moment 1st to the middle east. and it is a pretty hot and settled picture, particularly up in the north. we are seeing some warmth, heat actually coming back into a rock for places like baghdad,

but temperatures across some of the gulf. states have dipped down for the likes of doha and do by. but it's a largely clear picture. some cloud, however, lingering across western areas of saudi arabia dipping down into yemen and we could see some more intensified showers. here, over the next few days, i was we had to north africa school down for morocco in the north, west, rain trickling in here. but the temperature continued to rise for egypt. a lot of warmth in that northeast corner for the wet weather. however, we have to head to the gulf of guinea nigeria seeing heavy rain on monday. on tuesday, it'll be by keno faso that deals with the worst that we could see some flooding from that. now was we had a further down to south africa. we've got this system that brings very heavy rain to the eastern cape. that's going to work its way further west. ahead of that within a lot of heat in the north and for what swanner habit, rona, seeing the temperature peaking up. but it will cool down by wednesday that she,

whether i saw airway official airline, the journey informed opinions. i believe that armina regina should have bilateral negotiations. we've been calling that for many time. political debate is the common soon something that will take all inside story on al jazeera and anti semitism is an eagle. under a labor government, it will not be tolerated in any form once so beneath the surface lies dark. aside in british politics, the labour files hot one on al jazeera. ah, oh, a

no, absolutely not. for it's, it's either dollars to have shoes. the skills. shane feels the queen deserve respect and should be mourned. but question the cost, is it fair? is it, is it right to be spending millions of pounds, probably not, given the current situation in the climate, that money could be better spent elsewhere? the founder of this charity for homeless people. as few people are giving donations and it's over spent because of rising energy costs when you show up on a monday widow rebecca office, but we are close and this one there because of the queen's funeral because the child is fault there is noble. someone that deals with people who have nothing. susan, think the cost of the funeral is too high. it could got her better. things couldn't really on the was a faces of those who have died, but they are 9 more to go up this year. honoring the queen is important to millions of others. it can feel odds with an economic crisis taking many heart. some say the
