as queen consort when prince charles eventually becomes king. well, my colleaguejane hill is at buckingham palace for us this afternoon. jane. welcome again to buckingham palace on the sunday afternoon where we have spent the day reflecting on 70 years on the throne, a remarkable reign and talking about the future as well and looking ahead and that is one of those things that the queen did as well in her statement issued late last night as she reflected on the beginning of the platinum jubilee and put forward that wish, that sincere wish, she says she has, for camilla, duchess of cornwall two, when the time comes, be known as queen consort and this morning his royal highness the prince of wales has issued his own statement paying tribute to the

queen a's long reign and saying that he and his wife are deeply conscious of the honour, as he put it, that the queen has bestowed on camilla by publicly expressing that wish. here's 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell. "i look forward to continuing to serve you with all my heart," so says the queen in her accession day message. on this day when she marks the 70th anniversary of the moment she came to the throne, it's clear that her commitment remains undimmed by the passage of years. and with that message, a glimpse from buckingham palace of the unseen work of the monarch, the paperwork which comes every day in the official red boxes — a routine which this monarch has followed virtually every day of those 70 years. behind her, a photograph of her late father, george vi as, with her private secretary, sir edward young, she reviewed government documents and messages from abroad. nice comments, including one from president biden. oh, that's very kind.

from clarence house, the prince of wales acknowledged what he called the "honour" of his mother's wish that camilla be known as queen consort when he becomes king. and he said theyjoined with the rest of the country in congratulating the queen on what he called "the remarkable achievement of serving this nation, the realms and commonwealth for 70 years." guests who saw the queen yesterday in the ballroom at sandringham said she looked a little more frail physically than the figure to which we've been accustomed, though she was as alert and sharp as ever. in her message last night, the queen said she was humbled by the loyalty and affection that she continued to receive. the message was signed "your servant, elizabeth r". nicholas witchell, bbc news, sandringham. the duchess of cornwall�*s journey to acceptance by the public and the royal family has at times

been a difficult one. her relationship with prince charles only being made public at his 50th birthday celebration 25 years ago. daniela relph's report contains some flashing images. when charles is king, we now know camilla will be his queen. it is the ultimate recognition from the current monarch and a total rehabilitation for camilla. their wedding day in 2005. the journey to this point had, at times, been rocky. camilla parker bowles was a controversial figure, blamed by some for the end of the prince's first marriage. his relationship with a young camilla had faltered in their 20s. decades later, it took until camilla's 50th birthday party at the ritz for them to go public with their romance. the path to acceptance, though, was difficult. but slowly, carefully,

camilla won the trust of the queen and began to win over a cautious public. in making it clear what she wants for camilla, the queen has rewarded her daughter—in—law for her loyalty to prince charles and the happiness and stability she has brought him. it's also a recognition of camilla's own campaigning — from literacy, to animal welfare, to domestic violence, where she recently spoke about the horror of abuse. this country has been appalled and saddened by the loss of women to violence this year. on average, one woman is killed by a man every three days. and in media interviews — here, with the bbc�*s emma barnett — she spoke personally, with warmth and honesty, about missing her grandchildren during lockdown. i shall look forward to the day when i can really give them a huge hug again. camilla had always been described as a non—negotiable part

of the prince's life. now we know it is the queen's wish too that camilla will be at her husband's side in the years ahead — as his wife, his supporter and his queen. daniela relph, bbc news, sandringham. let's talk to anna whitelock, professor of the history of monarchy at city, university of london. good afternoon to you. let's start with everything we have been hearing there, because it is really striking, i think that the queen, who talked so fondly of the enormous strength she derived from her husband when over so many decades, and now she wants her son, it appears, to similarly have someone alongside him when the time comes, when he is one day king. i'm interested in your thoughts on that. i think that's a very good point.

she referred to prince philip as her great strength and stay and i think charles and camilla are soulmates and, yes, their relationship got off to an inauspicious start and many of us will remember that three in the marriage devastating interview line that princess diana gave put in the years since her tragic death there has been a quiet process of rehabilitation of the image of camilla, her loyalty, her sense rehabilitation of the image of camilla, her loyalty, hersense of duty in support of her husband prince charles and in support of the queen and this is in question of the support she has given charles in the sport she has given the queen but the fact that being monarchy is not a i—personjob, you need somebody there as your supporter, as your anchor point and i think the queen sees in camilla very much that person and someone upon whom charles will rely and she wants to deal with

that question that many people have asked, will she or won't she be queen, will it be queen camilla or princess consort as suggested at the time of the marriage and the queen has tied to end all of the speculation by as you say, saying it is her sincere wish that she will one day be queen camilla. find is her sincere wish that she will one day be queen camilla. and today a particularly — one day be queen camilla. and today a particularly difficult _ one day be queen camilla. and today a particularly difficult day _ one day be queen camilla. and today a particularly difficult day for - one day be queen camilla. and today a particularly difficult day for the - a particularly difficult day for the queen, a session day, which she traditionally spends at sandringham but this is the first time she has had to reflect on the last decade on the death of her father without her husband. ,, , ., husband. indeed. she is there at sandringham. — husband. indeed. she is there at sandringham, in _ husband. indeed. she is there at sandringham, in the _ husband. indeed. she is there at sandringham, in the cottage - husband. indeed. she is there at i sandringham, in the cottage where philip spent a lot of his time after he retired from public life and where together they lived as far as possible as a semi—normal couple without the liveried butlers and someone, so today she will be reflecting, yes, on herfather�*s

death but also one philip's and 70 years ago today broke the news to the 25—year—old princess elizabeth who was with philip out in kenya on the first leg of a commonwealth tour, and of course he told her i went for a walk with her and told her her father was dead and in that moment her life changed, that she would become queen i'm she like no one else really could have imagined that 70 years on she would be there and remain queen. when we think about, herfirst prime minister was winston churchill, truman and stalin were in power. lennon and mccartney had not yet met. there is such unprecedented change, no passenger jet had crossed the atlantic. this is the scale of change that she has seenin is the scale of change that she has seen in her reign and she acknowledged that in her accession message, the technological and cultural and innovation that the

last 70 years has seen.- cultural and innovation that the last 70 years has seen. yes, it's extraordinary — last 70 years has seen. yes, it's extraordinary in _ last 70 years has seen. yes, it's extraordinary in so _ last 70 years has seen. yes, it's extraordinary in so many - last 70 years has seen. yes, it's extraordinary in so many people watching today will have known no other monarch and yet with her statement last night she is allowing the public, if i can put it that way, to think about a period where this nation will have a king, not a queen. how different do you think that might be? could the institution change? will the now prince of wales want to change the institution? i think it's a really good point. most of us have known no other monarch. my of us have known no other monarch. my father just about remember of us have known no other monarch. my fatherjust about remember is george the six's funeral and the coronation of the queen but i certainly don't and we talk about the support the monarchy in britain and generally it commands about two thirds majority in polls, because that really is about support for the queen and we don't yet know whether the support for the queen will endure beyond her life. i think the monarchy is going to have to change

and in many ways it belongs to a bygone age. the monarchy is an historical institution and it makes really little sense in many ways in today's world. it's all about hierarchy, birthrightand today's world. it's all about hierarchy, birthright and about white inherited privilege, but now britain is a multi—faith, multiethnic society and the queen is head of state, head of the established church of england and there are soberly ways where it seems to be completely at odds with the time but of course, to change too far would almost be to undermine its very foundations, so charles is going to have to navigate the monarchy into the 21st century, find a way for it to still be relevant but not so modern that it ceases to be what it essentially is and that will be the real task for him. he's talked about a plan to streamline the monarchy and slim down and focus on him and camilla and then william and kate and less roles for the wider royal family and will honestly

focus on the environment and try to work and promote sustainability, not least of the royal palaces and rail transport which comes into a lot of criticism in the way that there are royal helicopter flights and so on around the world, so there will be ways in which he will need to signal a change but of course, you can't go too far because if it looks to like any other family or any other institution, then what really is the point of it? and that is the big question that i think will be asked in a way that i don't think it has been the 70 years.— in a way that i don't think it has been the 70 years. thank you for our been the 70 years. thank you for your insights- — been the 70 years. thank you for your insights. and _ been the 70 years. thank you for your insights. and we _ been the 70 years. thank you for your insights. and we will - been the 70 years. thank you for your insights. and we will have i been the 70 years. thank you for - your insights. and we will have more from here at buckingham palace later in the afternoon. for now, ben, back to you. the business secretary kwasi kwarteng has urged conservative mps to give the prime minister "time and space" to deliver on his election promises. this after a week which has seen resignations from downing street

and more tory mps submitting letters of no confidence. let's talk to our political correspondent helen catt. who's this message aimed at? it seems a pretty clear message to conservative mps who might be at home this weekend considering putting on another one of those letters and the clear message from quasi—quieting was to hold fire and give him time and borisjohnson has said that he is going to fix things and will make changes in the way downing street runs and we saw some of that last night when he filled a couple of the post left by people who resigned last week and appointing the former bbcjournalist who worked with borisjohnson when he was mayor of london as new director of communications and also appointing a new chief of staff but slightly unusually he's gone for an mp, steve barclay, sorry, it went completely out of my head. and that has proved a bit controversial today

because while on the one hand it shows intent to involve the mps, the party more, on the other hand he already has twojobs. party more, on the other hand he already has two jobs. he's a cabinet minister and already has two jobs. he's a cabinet ministerand an mp already has two jobs. he's a cabinet minister and an mp and some people who have held the job minister and an mp and some people who have held thejob in the past have queried whether it is possible to do all three. lord barwell who was theresa may's chief he said to him it was completely life consuming job so steve barclay would have to do it differently if borisjohnson would listen to his new advisers but that is the start of some change and that was the message being conveyed i think. helen, thank you very much. the convicted murderer levi bellfield — who is serving a whole life sentence for killing the schoolgirl milly dowler — has now admitted carrying out a double murderfor which another man has been jailed. michael stone has always denied responsibility for the deaths of lin and megan russell in kent in 1996. his lawyer, paul bacon, says he's now received a four—page

statement from bellfield, in which he claims to have carried out the attacks. matt graveling reports: lin russell was walking her daughters through the kent countryside when they were attacked with a hammer. lane and a six—year—old megan were killed. nine—year—old josie survived. michael stone has twice been found guilty of the murder. but now, almost 26 years on, michael stone's solicitor says he has a document stating that levi bellfield — the man guilty of murdering schoolgirl millie dowler, amelie delagrange and marsha mcdonnell — has confessed to killing lin and megan russell. the last paragraph in the statement says he wants to apologise to michael stone. yes, i think it's a very important statement. i think there are things in it which can be corroborated. my first step, as i say, is to send it to the criminal cases review commission. my second step is to pass it to the police. as reported in today's sun

newspaper, in the four—page statement, bellfield — who now goes by the name yusuf rahim — details how he carried out the killings, saying he wore yellow washing—up gloves and carried the hammer in his right hand. he said his intention was only to attack lin, but when she failed to scream, it gave him more confidence. is there anything in that document that strikes you? the level of contrition at the end of the statement is quite striking. "something like this has never happened before. i committed a crime and another person has been arrested for it. i guess if i'm honest, it was a relief. i apologise to stone and the russell family for my heinous acts. i was not well in the head during my reign of violence." bellfield went on to add he is willing to speak to the police. in 2017, stone's legal team obtained evidence of a confession that bellfield had made in prison confessing to the russell murders, but stone's conviction was not overturned. today, kent police said a comprehensive investigation has been carried out into allegations

levi bellfield was involved in the russell murders. it concluded there was no evidence to support those claims. matt graveling, bbc news. an operation to rescue a boy who'd been trapped in a well in morocco since tuesday has ended in tragedy. emergency workers were able to reach five—year—old rayan yesterday evening — but sadly he had died. the rescue effort had generated huge public interest in morocco and around the world. prince andrew will give evidence under oath in london next month to lawyers representing the woman accusing him of sexual assault in a us civil court case. virginia giuffre claims she was trafficked by the convicted sex offender, jeffrey epstein, to have sex with the duke in the early 2000s — when she was 17. the prince, who denies the allegations, will give evidence on march the 10th. the funeral is taking place in mumbai of one of india's greatest ever singers, lata mangeshkar, attended by huge

crowds and the prime minister, narendra modi. known as the nightingale of india , she was 92. and earned her a huge global following. during her career she recorded tens of thousands of songs in more than 30 languages lending her voice to many bollywood heroines. i'm joined now by the asian network's entertainment reporter haroon rashid good to see you put under tragic circumstances. you tweeted earlier that there would be no bollywood without lata mangeshkar. shall we start on that, for those not familiar with her work, explain the role she played. familiar with her work, explain the role she played-— role she played. absolutely. the reason i chose _ role she played. absolutely. the reason i chose those _ role she played. absolutely. the reason i chose those words - reason i chose those words specifically is because ever since i was born when i think of bollywood, lata mangeshkar�*s voice is so integral to the experience of bollywood cinema and when you think of her you will get song and dance

many of those dance sequences were picture rose on songs sung by lata mangeshkar of my earliest memory of going to watch a bollywood film in the cinema was one released in 1994 and the songs were what made it magical and for the longest time i thought that was the actress's boyce and that is the appeal of bollywood, you think these actresses are emoting for their own voices but it was lata mangeshkar who carried a lot of them on screen as well. this is someone _ lot of them on screen as well. this is someone who _ lot of them on screen as well. this is someone who somehow unify the country of more than a billion people, and those numbers there, 36 languages, recording thousands of songs, how did she manage to do it time and time again? she obviously said thank you _ time and time again? she obviously said thank you and _ time and time again? she obviously said thank you and credited - time and time again? she obviously said thank you and credited the - said thank you and credited the composers of the songs are so many times but i think the magic lay in her voice. there was a melodic charm that she had and she had the ability to emote with her voice in different expressions, so even if it was a

romantic song or more of a dance number, whatever the genre, lata mangeshkar could adapt her voice accordingly. she was for a very brief stint in actress as well so she had the ability to be able to express a huge range of emotions just with a few words.— just with a few words. music, actress, just with a few words. music, actress. she _ just with a few words. music, actress, she also _ just with a few words. music, actress, she also had - just with a few words. music, actress, she also had huge i just with a few words. music, - actress, she also had huge influence offset within bollywood. in actress, she also had huge influence offset within bollywood.— offset within bollywood. in the 70s she became _ offset within bollywood. in the 70s she became the _ offset within bollywood. in the 70s she became the first _ offset within bollywood. in the 70s she became the first bollywood - she became the first bollywood artist to demand royalties or other singers and it was something that had never been done before and she also filled the royal albert hall in london in the 70s before any other bollywood singer had done so and that legacy in the uk is so important because bollywood was this huge connection between the immigrant diaspora immunity in the 70s, 80s and 90s and their home countries and therefore lata mangeshkar�*s voice would play on vinyl and cd on repeat to build that connection with people's motherland as well. we connection with people's motherland as well. ~ ., ., connection with people's motherland as well. ~ . ~ ., ., as well. we talked about the two da s of as well. we talked about the two days of national _ as well. we talked about the two days of national mourning - as well. we talked about the two days of national mourning in - as well. we talked about the two | days of national mourning in india but what about reaction in the uk

proportion for those on the lowest incomes so we are concerned particularly about what we can do to try to protect those who are hard to stop who are going to suffer most from that, and in some ways the worst is still to come because although food price inflation in tesco in the last quarter was only 1%, we are impacted by rising energy prices and our suppliers are impacted by rising energy prices so the likelihood is that that inflation figure will rise but we are doing all we can to offset it. so the worst is yet to come? how bad do you think it could get? i predicted last autumn that food prices by the spring might be rising at 5% and i sincerely believe it won't be any more than that. it might even be slightly less but that's the sort of number we are talking about, but of course, 5% if you are spending as some of the least well families are spending 15% of your household income is significant and it troubles us and i'm sure it troubles many people that people may have to choose

between heating their homes and feeding their families and clearly thatis feeding their families and clearly that is not a situation that any of us should tolerate. our business correspondent katie prescott is here. significant comments by the head of the uk's biggest supermarket chain voicing concern from many retailers. indeed and perhaps not surprising either when you look at all of the cost pressures that businesses are under at the moment. we heard john allen mention energy and that is massively significant. businesses don't have the energy price caps so businesses having to negotiate their contracts at the moment at a time of record gas prices are really struggling and then when you look at rising transport costs and rising wage bills, it's not surprising that at some point these price rises have to feed through to the customer and asjohn allen said they've been working hard to make sure it doesn't

happen but it's inevitable it will over the coming months. flit happen but it's inevitable it will over the coming months. of course, this comes — over the coming months. of course, this comes at _ over the coming months. of course, this comes at the _ over the coming months. of course, this comes at the end _ over the coming months. of course, this comes at the end of— over the coming months. of course, this comes at the end of a _ over the coming months. of course, this comes at the end of a week - this comes at the end of a week where we were bombarded with bad knees consumers as well. it’s a knees consumers as well. it's a difficult time _ knees consumers as well. it's a difficult time and _ knees consumers as well. it's a difficult time and households i knees consumers as well. it's a l difficult time and households are feeling the crunch at so many points and energy bills of course looking forward to what happens with him but it was interesting thatjohn allen said that the idea that the lowest priced products that jack monroe has said have been rising faster than more expensive products is not the case and he said they are working hard to make sure that they actually extend the range of the lowest priced products, and it's very interesting that the retailers are deeply concerned about it and they are watching what consumers are doing at the moment and they say to me things like, people are doing a massive shop any more they are just buying one thing rather than stocking up the cupboards, so people are starting to notice this change in consumer behaviour as households really are finding their finances squeezed at the moment. we will have

the rest of sunday is essentially some sunshine and showers, but across the northern half of the uk for scotland, northern ireland and northern england it means further snow showers and gusty winds and we could see blizzards and further share of any showers will be rain blowing through quickly and we might see a bit of patchy rain returning to the far south—west of england and across the southern half of the uk we saw the highest temperatures this morning, falling away through the afternoon looking at between four and nine celsius typically is a top temperature. 0vernight the winds will ease and for many it becomes cold and clear with a risk of frost and ice and away from western areas is more cloud bushes in from the west so away from northern ireland in western scotland temperature is widely at or below freezing which means it's a cold and frosty start tomorrow but any sunshine will quickly fade as this band of cloud pushes in from the west bringing patchy rain into northern and western scotland and northern england, northern ireland and wales and further south and east should stay dry but cloudy but it will be
