yes, moments of undoubted significance for the monarchy — the queen's intervention to secure that full status for camilla as queen consort when charles becomes king, a smoothing of the way to the next rain, and the queen because my own historic milestone today and her clear commitment to carry on. 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 said he and his wife were deeply conscious of the honour of his mother's wish that camilla should be known as queen consort when he becomes king. and he said, on this historic day, my wife and ijoin you all in congratulating her majesty the queen on the remarkable achievement of serving this nation, the realms and commonwealth for 70 years. big day tomorrow, you know, because it's 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. applause. 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." the duchess of cornwall�*s path to full acceptance has not been an easy one. many people blamed her... by the royal family hasn't been easy. she was widely blamed for her part in the breakdown of charles's first marriage, to diana, princess of wales and, for many years, the queen wouldn't meet her. daniela relph's report contains 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 — thejourney, 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 the 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 date 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. now, there's no doubt that buckingham palace will be watching closely the public reaction to camilla's future status, but there is confidence, not least amid the positive feeling of the jubilee, that it will be widely accepted. today the queen has been spending it in private, remembering, of course, herfather in private, remembering, of course, her father and in private, remembering, of course, herfather and her late in private, remembering, of course, her father and her late husband, in private, remembering, of course, herfather and her late husband, who spent many years here at sandringham. clive, back to you.

nick, many thanks for that. the business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, has urged conservative mps to give borisjohnson "time and space" to deliver on his election promises. it comes after a week which has seen resignations from downing street and more tory mps submitting letters of no confidence in the prime minister. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is here. helen, who's he aiming this at? i think it's pretty clear that he is appealing to conservative mps who might be sitting at home this weekend considering putting on another one of those letters of no confidence, and what he is effectively saying is, look, hold fire. there were two new appointments in the downing street team last night. ditto harry, former bbcjournalist, who worked with borisjohnson when he was mayor of london, has been brought in as the new director of communications, and a slightly more unusual appointment — a cabinet minister, steve barclay, has become the new chief of staff, a role usually done by unofficial. the

thinking behind that is that it sort of integrates the cabinet into the downing street operation. there have been questioned this morning about how feasibility is to do all three jobs at the same time. another interesting thing today, another call for this hold fire from the backbenches, former tory leader iain duncan smith saying he doesn't think it is the right time for a leadership challenge, and he had a warning or a message, leadership challenge, and he had a warning ora message, if leadership challenge, and he had a warning or a message, if you like, for those who be rivals to the prime minister — temper your ambitions. helen, thank you. the convicted murderer levi bellfield, who's 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. here's matt graveling.

lin russell was walking her daughters through the kent countryside when they were attacked with a hammer. lin and 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.

belfield described how he walked lin, megan and josie russell of the lane. he said he only ever intended to attack lin. but when she failed to scream, it gave him more confidence. 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. if i'm honest, it was a relief. i apologise to stone and the russell family for my heinous acts. 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. the king of morocco has expressed his condolences to the parents of a five—year—old boy who died after being trapped in a well since tuesday. a huge rescue effort in the small northern town of tamorot had captured the imagination of many around the world and ended last night, when emergency crews finally reached rayan 0ram, 32 metres below ground. simonjones has the story. as huge crowds watched on, initially relief that rayan had been found, carried by his rescuers to a waiting ambulance. but that quickly turned to despair and grief. despite painstaking efforts to save him, the little boy didn't survive. rayan's parents had been hoping and praying for good news. instead, they received a call of condolence from king mohammed. the boy's family now trying

to come to terms with their loss. translation: i can't describe how i feel that my cousin is gone. - what can i say? translation: my heart i is aching for him too much. my nephew — my heart aches for him. may god be with him, just like how god stood with us. rayan had fallen down the well on tuesday evening while his father was trying to fix it. this image of him captured on thursday by a camera lowered down, showing him injured but conscious. it prompted a huge and complex rescue operation around the clock. the five—year—old was trapped more than 30 metres down, the shaft too narrow for rescuers to reach him. instead, they gouged out a new trench by the side then tumbled —— tunnelled towards him.

all the time having to contend with the risk of landslides. it was a race against time, but time ultimately ran out. the rescue attempt was followed notjust by the crowds at the scene but by people watching online around the world. for rayan's family, the worst news, but they will find some comfort in the huge efforts made by those who've never met rayan to try to save him. simon jones, bbc news. one of bollywood's greatest—ever singing stars, lata mangeshkar, known as the nightingale of india, has died. she was 92. her career spanned seven decades, earning her a huge globalfollowing. she recorded tens of thousands of songs in more than 30 languages, lending her voice to many bollywood heroines. 0n the second day of the winter olympics in beijing, britain's mixed curling team have qualified for the semi—finals, despite losing to norway. there was also an impressive result for makayla gerken schofield,

making it to the final of the moguls skiing. our sports correspondent, andy swiss, has the latest. very close... for britain's curlers, a nail—biting day. bruce mouat and jen dodds knew a win over norway would see them into the semis of the mixed event. it didn't look good. that's exactly what has happened. but despite losing 6—2, other results later went their way, taking them into the last four and a shot at the medals. this is textbook! elsewhere, it was a day for speeding through the snow. makayla gerken—schofield became the first british skier to reach an olympic moguls final, finishing an impressive eighth. here we go, then. while earlier on, the cross—country skiathlon proved a victory for perseverance. an early tumble for alexander bolshunov, but the russian got up, stormed to the front and won by more than a minute. britain's hopes lay with the experienced andrew musgrave but on a brutal course,

he had to settle for 17th. well, a gutsy performance from andrew musgrave but not the medal he had hoped for. he still has more events to come, but it has been a gruelling start to his games. it was a battle! it is one of the most nuts races there has been. like, the gaps were massive and just, it is one of the hardest races i've done. the back 10 to finish! but it was the women's snowboarding that conjured the day's most magical moment. massive! oooooh! the leap of a lifetime from zoi sadowski—synnott winning a first ever winter olympic gold for new zealand, and uniting even her rivals in celebration. sport, and sportsmanship, at its very best. andy swiss, bbc news, beijing. that's it. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, and i'll be back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. bye for now.

and we could see blizzards and further south 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 as 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 as more cloud pushes in from the west so away from northern ireland in western scotland temperatures 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 feeling milder. goodbye.
