to her son. buckingham palace said the queen took the decision to withdraw in consultation with her doctors, as she continues to experience "episodic mobility problems". the state opening is one of the biggest constitutional occasions for the head of state — and it's been 59 years since the queen last missed one. the prince of wales read the words prepared for him, setting out the uk government's priorities for the year ahead. this governments priority is to grow and strengthen the economy and help ease the cost of living for families. her majesty's government will level up opportunity in all parts of the country and support more people into work. her majesties ministers will continue to support the police to make the street safer and fund the national health service to reduce covid backlogs. in these challenging times her majesty's

government will play a leading role in defending democracy and freedom across the world, including continuing to support the people of ukraine. apart from the queen's absence the ceremony proceeded along the traditional lines. close the door! it's black rock, o-ened close the door! it's black rock, opened the — close the door! it's black rock, opened the door. _ an official called black rod arrives and mps shut the door on them to represent parliament's independence from the monarchy. so they have to knock. and then the mps all make their way over to the house of lords for the speech — tradition again is that mps who are usually political opponents walk side by side, you can just overhear borisjohnson asking the leader of the opposition keir stamer if he'd had a "quiet weekend" which they both seemed to find amusing.

after a rocky few months for the prime minister, the queen's speech was an opportunity for his government to quite literally set the agenda for the next period. and part of that, was about brexit. her majesty's government will continue to seize the opportunities of the united kingdoms departure from the european union to support economic growth. regulations on businesses will be repealed and reformed. a bill will enable law inherited from the european union to be more easily amended. the speech itself was short — just 874 words — the shortest speech since 2013 in fact. it contained 38 bills and draught bills the government hopes to get through parliament. legislation for tenants to improve social housing and tougher powers for police to use against protesters who block motorways and other infrastructure. after the

speeches over politics as usual resumed as the mp debated what was in the speech. to resumed as the mp debated what was in the speech-— in the speech. to create the highway to hiuh in the speech. to create the highway to high skilled _ in the speech. to create the highway to high skilled jobs _ in the speech. to create the highway to high skilled jobs that _ in the speech. to create the highway to high skilled jobs that will - in the speech. to create the highway to high skilled jobs that will drive - to high skilled jobs that will drive economic growth across the united kingdom. the whole united kingdom, thatis kingdom. the whole united kingdom, that is the long term sustainable solution to ease the burden on families and businesses. that is a way to get our country back on track after the pandemic at level up across our whole country exactly of the promise that is what this queen's speech delivers. we need a government _ speech delivers. we need a government of _ speech delivers. we need a government of the - speech delivers. we need a i government of the moment speech delivers. we need a - government of the moment that may speech delivers. we need a _ government of the moment that may be aspirations— government of the moment that may be aspirations of the british public. this then — aspirations of the british public. this then address bereft of ideas or purpose. _ this then address bereft of ideas or purpose, without a guiding principle or a road _ purpose, without a guiding principle or a road map for delivery shows 'ust or a road map for delivery shows just how— or a road map for delivery shows just how far_ or a road map for delivery shows just how far this government is from that _ nick, a practical question given the

bait i should say of this queen speech is going to be about what wasn't in there. all the opposition parties are saying there just isn't enough being done at the moment to tackle the cost of living. and if bills continue to go up, if inflation continues to grow up, cost of living is going to continue to be their big political issue and that could well frame the next election. thank you for bringing us up to date. ukrainian officials say at least one hundred civilians are still sheltering beneath the azovstal steelworks in mariupol. they say the plant is under attack by russia. and that more than a thousand ukrainian soldiers remain at the site, many of them wounded. the city's mayor gave this update earlier. we are in contact with the military but there needs to be a steady cease—fire in order to confirm what we are with the civilian evacuation.

we need to search through all the bomb shelters and confirmed that everyone is evacuated. unfortunately, we don't have that option. unfortunately, we don't have that option. the un human rights monitoring mission in ukraine has so far confirmed over 3,381 people killed since the start of the invasion and 3,680 civilians injured. the realfigures, they say, are probably much higher. and the lack of access to mariupol is key here — as the un human rights chief explains. the big black hole is really mario pole where it's been difficult for us to— pole where it's been difficult for us to fully— pole where it's been difficult for us to fully access —— mariupol. and -et us to fully access —— mariupol. and get fully— us to fully access —— mariupol. and get fully cooperated information. we estimate _ get fully cooperated information. we estimate that there are thousands of deaths _ estimate that there are thousands of deaths that have happened there, civilians _ deaths that have happened there, civilians who have died due to hostilities. however, we are yet to

be able _ hostilities. however, we are yet to be able to— hostilities. however, we are yet to be able to fully cooperate those and so not _ be able to fully cooperate those and so not able to add them to our corroborated figures. so not able to add them to our corroborated figures. turning to the city of odesa now. it's been hit by seven missiles. at least one person has been killed. it's a key port city — in the south of the country. these pictures from overnight show a fire at a shopping mall after it was hit by a missile. and this was the aftermath today — emergency services working at the scene. our correspondent caroline davies is there, and sent us this update. most of the heat of course during the course of this conflict has been in the east of the country. and here in odesa we are several hours drive away from the front line, which is currentlyjust to the south of another port city called mkolaiv. and at the moment, so long as mykolaiv is holding it is hoped that odesa by comparison relatively safe. and that is forming some form of protection here. but of course, despite the fact that there are defences in place and that includes air defences here,

of course we know that there are sea defences in the black sea too and there are land defences in place throughout this region two, there are concerns that odesa is still being hit by these missiles. in the course of the time that i've been here over the last three weeks or so we have seen more of these missile strikes on a regular basis. often hitting infrastructure targets like the airport but also hitting residential targets too. just over two weeks ago when i was in a residential block of flats that was hit when multiple people died including a family, including a three—month—old baby girl that died in that flat do. the concern here is that these missile strikes are becoming more frequent, whether that means there is some form of assault that the kremlin is planning in the future, we don't know. i think many feel the defences here are strong. but the worry is that they will continue to try to target the city both to hit infrastructure targets but also create a sense of intimidation here among the people who are staying in the city of odesa. and there are other concerns too, odesa is a major black sea port

for exporting agricultural products, including grain, wheat and corn. but the russians have blockaded it. which will have consequences for global food supplies. here's ukrainian president zelensky on that. translation: without our agricultural exports dozens of countries in different parts of the world are already on the brink of food shortages. and over time the situation could become frankly terrible. politicians are already discussing the possible consequences of price crisis and famine in africa and asia, this is a direct consequence of russian aggression. it was a message echoed by european council president charles michel. he's been in odesa this week. he said... the bbc has been speaking to the owner of an agricultural export company in odesa. this is what he told us.

at this stage we are practically unable to reach the destination markets at the prices that are compatible enough at those destinations. therefore, we are not conducting any business at this stage and i don't think that we will unless the blockade of the ukrainian seaports is going to be lifted. now, given the fact that we understand that this is a huge damage to our inner economy of our country, it is also as our president has mentioned, it is also going to be a devastating effect on other economies worldwide and a lot of people are going to be affected i think frankly, they amounts up to half a billion around the world. turning now to the town of bucha, which is north of kyiv and back under ukrainian control. russia's army has been accused of carrying out war crimes there. german foreign minister annalena baerbock has made

an unannounced visit there today. this was the moment she arrived. she's the highest ranking german government official to visit the town. moscow has denies any responsibility for civilian deaths in bucha. but satellite images like this show bodies lying in the streets while the town was still under russian control. we also know mass graves were discovered. this image is understood to show one of them in a churchyard. let's hearfrom the german foreign minister. translationz. no one can take away the pain from fathers, from mothers, from aunts, uncles, friends, neighbours and work colleagues but we can ensure justice. that 5 also why i am here today with the attorney general who together with her country will investigate these crimes, collect evidence. we, the international community can make a small contribution by supporting the investigation into war crimes and crimes against humanity and to ensure that the perpetrators we owe it to the victims. this all comes as us officials warn that the kremlin is preparing

for a long war in ukraine. and that a russian victory in the eastern region of donbas, might not end its attacks. the central ukrainian city of dnipro has become a vital hub in this ongoing war. aid supplies from the west are pouring in to help those in need, as refugees from the east of ukraine are travelling in the opposite direction, in search of safety. our chief international corresponent lyse douset is there. she's been looking at how people there are coping with the war. here in central eastern ukraine the air raid sirens sound almost every day but it has been spared the worst of the attacks that russia has been unleashing across ukraine. last week however, cruise missiles slammed into the centre of this city. so i went to meet the regional head of the depot counsel to ask him —— dnipro. to ask them what kind of threats this province of dnipro was facing. threats this province of dnipro was facina. �* ,, �* ., ,

resist. but i can say that every mayor of our region, every head of village, every deputy who received the text and the russian far away and united even more to defend our region. some people speak in russian, some in ukrainian but we all say that we believe in our victory. and everything will be ukraine. that's why we believe in the armed forces of ukraine and our president. he unites us all, we don't have at the moment any political disagreements or discussions. everyone is united as one team and we will do everything until we win. one team and we will do everything until we win-— until we win. what about you personally. _ until we win. what about you personally, how— until we win. what about you personally, how have - until we win. what about you personally, how have you - until we win. what about you l personally, how have you been affected by this war, have you lost family members, friends? translation: my family was always with me until generals told me that i need to send them to a secure location. it was somewhere around the 15th day of the war. after that i sent my family somewhere safer. although my wife did not want to leave. but i told her that we have

three children and someone has to take care of them. it's six months since world leaders gathered in glasgow for the cop26 climate summit. now the uk's national weather service says the likelihood of crossing a key global warming threshold has risen significantly. the met office says there's now around a fifty—fifty chance that the world will warm by more than 1.5c over the next five years. it also says it's almost certain that 2022—2026 will see a record warmest year. the scientists say this rise will be temporary for the time being, here's our science correspondent matt mcgraph on that. they believe temperatures will range between 1.1 and 1.7 celsius over the next number of years. as you say, one of those years they are more than 90% certain will be our warmest year on record compared to 2016 or

2020. going past the 1.5 degrees target really will be about two things, the climate change that's been caused by human activities around the world, the other is natural events such as el nino, the upwelling of warm water in the pacific that affects whether all over the world. if we get in el nino year and next couple of years it will likely go back to 1.5 and set a new record. it's his combination of natural variability in human —induced climate change that are likely to persist at this point. it will be ten to temporary, and syringes are confident that will drop over the next couple years was up given politicians in society the chance to do something significant about emissions to prevent a more consistent breach of the 1.5 target which at the moment are on course for about 2013 —— 2030. in 2015, the world's average temperature first went 1c above the pre—industrial levels. these are generally thought of as the temperatures recorded in the middle of the 19th century. that same year political leaders

signed the paris climate agreement, which committed the world to keeping the rise in global temperatures well below 2c — while pursuing efforts keep them under 1.5c. at cop26 in glasgow last november, governments re—iterated their commitment to keeping "1.5c alive." alok sharma was the president of cop26. here he is speaking to the us about the met office's latest analysis. this is another stark warning of why we need to accelerate taking action on climate change. this is just another reminder of why we have reports from the ipcc, the international government on climate change last year, this year which is saying that actually if we don't take action in immediately over the next period of time then i'm afraid were going to be in a position where were going to be in a position where we will breach the 1.5 degrees limit. ithink we will breach the 1.5 degrees limit. i think it's worth reflecting on what that means, the world came

together in paris in 2015 and agreed that we will do everything we can to well below degrees aiming for 1.5 degrees of our preindustrial levels. we are already at 1.1 degrees. we see the impact of that around the world. just in the last year we've seen terrible flooding in europe, china we've seen wildfires raging in australia and north america and this year we are seeing a heat wave across india, pakistan, flooding in south africa and even at 1.1 degrees we see that every action of a degree makes a difference. that's why this is another wake—up call and why the world needs to act and deliver on the commitments that they made in glasgow in november. us climate envoyjohn kerry has also been speaking to the bbc — here he is on cop26 and what needs to be done next. people need to remember that 65% of global— people need to remember that 65% of global gdp, economic effort,

ukraine's kalush orchestra has been travelling europe, and we spoke to band leader oleh during a brief lull in their pre—eurovision tour. you made it through! how does it feel to have got this far? translation: it's just another aspect of us i being useful for the country, and we consider this to be the biggest, the highest use that we can be for the whole country. they've been given special permission to leave ukraine, however one member has been left behind and is now serving with the ukrainian military. for the rest of the band, eurovision is part of something much bigger. what does being in song contest at a moment like this mean for you personally? translation: for our country, it is so important to have i victories in all ways, so if we win it will be another opportunity to show ukraine to the world, to remind people about ukraine

and increase morale in the whole country. while they may be firm favourites, it is perhaps worth noting another front runner in the betting — sam ryder, representing the uk. no one is expecting nul points this year. david sillito, bbc news, turin. and having listened to the report they are, your vision has always been a mixture of music and politics relations between countries. absolutely, political voting is definitely a thing and interestingly, it doesn't always affect the result. if you look at the statistics of the country who trade with their neighbours, it

affects the positions in the mid—tables, much more than does the winner because you have to have a groundswell of support in order to come first and i don't think that is going to be the case this year. there's so much sympathy for ukraine, russia has been banned from the competition and looks like they're going to be the runaway winners, both in the semifinals and saturday's final. the winners, both in the semifinals and saturday's final.— saturday's final. the final of the weekend. _ saturday's final. the final of the weekend, for _ saturday's final. the final of the weekend, for those _ saturday's final. the final of the weekend, for those were i saturday's final. the final of the weekend, for those were not i saturday's final. the final of the i weekend, for those were not students of eurovision, what is the format, getting promoted to the final? there is a vote byjuries _ getting promoted to the final? there is a vote byjuries for _ getting promoted to the final? ii!” is a vote byjuries for professional songwriters and the award points to each act and on top of that they'll often change around the order of the acts when it comes to the under ten in the grand finals, ten from thursday in the second semifinals and that goes through to the finals on saturday night beget the whole

tangible sign of it. as prince charles took his place on the consort�*s throne, the imperial state crown, the symbol of the monarch's authority, was placed on a table beside him. the prince studied it closely, and then, with lords and commons assembled, a prince who has never been short of his own opinions took on the discipline required of a monarch. reading out the words written by the government. the continued success and integrity of the whole of the united kingdom is of paramount importance to her majesty's government. it was this, the regency act of 1937 that the palace used to delegate the power to open parliament. yet nobody is suggesting a permanent transfer of the monarch's powers. the queen is still busy with her paper work and virtual audiences. changes are happening, but they are gradual. for the queen, it has always been very important to carry out all her public duties in public whenever she can. she's famously said "to be seen is to be believed," and she believes the monarchy must be seen, but in future it is likely what we will see is other members

of the royal family carrying out royal duties on her behalf. for seven decades, britain has had a highly visible head of state. those days are over, realities are having to be faced, the burden is shifting. nicholas witchell, bbc news. here at the bbc news room, our story, prince charles and stood in for the queen and parliament ill health means she had to miss the event. now, we returned to the philippines for the marcus dynasty has returned to power, marcusjunior when the presidential election in
