welcome to bbc news — i'm david eades. the lastjourney from balmoral — the queen's funeral procession heads through scotland to edinburgh. thousands of people line the streets, and silently pay their respects. the cortege passed through key landmarks — as people bid farewell to the country's longest—reigning monarch. just as a mark of respect to see her on herfinal journey back to london. i think it is really important to us as a family, just to pay our respects and to say goodbye to just an really amazing woman. the accession of the new monarch, king charles iii, has been proclaimed in towns and cities across the uk.

in other news, ukraine's president blames russia for attacks on his country's energy infrastructure, saying they are intended to punish kyiv for its sweeping territorial gains. and, on the 21st anniversary of the september 11th attacks, president biden urges americans to stand up for democracy "every single day". the coffin of queen elizabeth has embarked on the journey which will lead to her final resting place. it left balmoral, where she died on thursday, and arrived on sunday afternoon in edinburgh. crowds — often several people deep — gathered along the route, as the cortege made the 280—kilometre journey

to the palace of holyroodhouse, where the coffin will remain overnight. it was a journey which took around six hours. meanwhile, proclamations formally announcing the accession of king charles iii have taken place in cardiff, edinburgh and hillsborough castle in northern ireland — as well as in towns and villages around the uk. our special correspondent allan little followed the queen's cortege from balmoral to scotland's capital. it is the place she loved most. balmoral was not a royal residence but a private home to her. her annual respite from the burdens of state and the unrelenting public gaze. today, that gaze falls on this. the first public sight of the coffin of the queen. she had known this landscape since she was a child. from balmoral to aberdeen, they passed slowly through towns and villages that knew her notjust as the queen, but as their neighbour.

aboyne, kincardine o'neil, banchory, drumoak, peterculter. what is the symbolism of this measured progress, if not to say that she was rooted here, at home in the open green spaces of royal deeside? in aberdeen, they stood in quiet witness before the cortege turned south, towards the scottish capital. in edinburgh, the king's bodyguard for scotland, the royal company of archers, came to attend the noon proclamation of the reign of king charles. fanfare ..to call to his mercy, our late sovereign lady,

queen elizabeth ii, of blessed and glorious memory, by whose decease, the crown of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland is solely and rightfully come to the prince charles philip arthur george. national anthem is sung three cheers for his majesty, the king. hip-hip! hooray! at several points, a small group of protesters booed and called for an independent scottish republic, but this was not the prevailing mood.

one of the most important days of my life, to see prince charles become king. and to be proclaimed here in edinburgh. i wish the king all the best for the future. i think he has big boots to fill. it isjust so historic— and it isjust something, like, really important in history, i and i feel so honoured to be here and to be able to see it, it isjust something else. - proclamations have been read on great state occasions here at the mercat cross of edinburgh since the 14th century. the queen was descended directly from robert the bruce and from mary queen of scots, and today is another striking reminder of the long continuities in which the monarchy groups us. after stonehaven, brechin, dundee, perth, overthe forth and into edinburgh...

from edinburgh castle, the last mile is, appropriately, the royal mile, at the foot of which sits the monarch's official residence — the palace of holyroodhouse, where the queen's ancestor, king james vi of scotland, learned he'd inherited the throne of england on the death of the first elizabeth, thus uniting the two kingdoms. the bearer party formed by the royal regiment of scotland carried the coffin past three of the queen's children. the princess royal had accompanied the coffin on its progress from balmoral. the coffin of the queen will lie here in rest in the throne room before being taken tomorrow to st giles�* cathedral, where it will lie for 2h hours. for the people who lined the quiet streets today, this is the ritualising of a nation's sorrow. but it is something else, too. the ritualising of transition. the crown passing from mother to son, and the public expectation of continuity.

allan little, bbc news, edinburgh. the nearest village to the balmoral estate is ballater, around 13 kilometres away, and a place where the queen had been known to the local community since childhood. her cortege slowed as it passed through the village on sunday morning, to allow the people there to pay their respects. our scotland editorjames cook has been finding out what the day's events meant for the people of ballater. sometimes history unfolds quietly. ballater, bidding farewell to the sovereign... ..and a neighbour. it is just so sad, but privileged to be here and happy that we could say goodbye.

she has been queen since the day i was born — i was born on coronation day and it is really special for me to say goodbye. what did she mean to this area? we knew how much she loved scotland and particularly balmoral. i think we will miss seeing her go to church on sundays. yeah. sorry. are you 0k? yeah. how are you feeling? it is a bit sad that she's gone. yeah, rememberthe last time you saw her, - where did we see her? when she was coming back from church at balmoral. that's right, and after that, we think we saw her on- horseback riding along . the banks in the grounds of balmoral. for adele phillips, this is personal. she was a housekeeper to the queen. i didn't know her in

the way the public do, i saw her in her little tweed skirt and headscarf and that kind of thing. and what was she like? funny, always happy. she liked a joke. and she was sarcastic. what did that momentjust there, watching her pass for the last time, mean to you? it was quite poignant, but i'm glad i was here to see it. she meant a lot to the area. so it was fitting that it happened here. ballater is slowly getting back to normal, but what that looks like is not yet clear. one of the threads which bound the nation together has unravelled, and the question is, what is the future of the united kingdom without elizabeth? because royal deeside is not scotland in miniature. this country contains many

citizens who are sceptical about monarchy and opposed to the union. not that you'd know it here. not today. i think she meant everything, stability through all the years, she's the only monarch that i've ever known. and i think we always look to her and i personally always looked to her as someone who was always there through the dark times. i think king charles iii now will transition very smoothly and very nicely and i think he will definitely... he's big shoes to fill but he will do his best for her, definitely. many here share that sentiment, but before they turn to the king, this was a final display of devotion to their queen. james cook, bbc news, ballater. now, let's look ahead to what will be happening in the coming days, during this period of national mourning. the queen's coffin remains in the throne room at holyroodhouse in edinburgh

for the next few hours. on monday, the king and members of the royal family will accompany the coffin in a procession along the royal mile to st giles�* cathedral, where a service will be held. the queen will lie at rest at the cathedral for 2h hours, allowing the public to view her coffin for the first time. on tuesday, the coffin will leave the cathedral to be flown from edinburgh to london by the royal air force. it will arrive at raf northolt on tuesday evening and then travel by road — about 15 kilometres — to buckingham palace, to rest in the bow room. princess anne will accompany the queen's body. on wednesday afternoon the coffin will be taken from buckingham palace to the palace of westminster. that will be a slow procession, accompanied by a military parade and by members of the royal family. the queen will lie in state in the oldest part of the palace of westminster, westminster hall, for four full

days until the morning of herfuneral, allowing members of the public to file past and pay their respects. details on how people can view the coffin will be released soon. the queen's state funeral will take place at westminster abbey at 11 o'clock on monday 19th september. the day will begin with the queen's coffin being carried from westminster hall to the abbey on the state gun carriage of the royal navy. the day has been declared a bank holiday across the uk. this is the scene at buckingham palace now — it's three in the morning here in london — and it's quieter, obviously, but in recent days it's become a major place of pilgrimage for those wanting to pay their respects, or share their grief.

this report now from our royal correspondent, daniela relph. they have been arriving in their thousands. the slow, quiet walk through green park towards buckingham palace. security guards at times had to hold the crowd back to manage the flow of people. but still they kept coming. with no school at the weekend, there were a huge number of families here. some even brought their pets. the mood, sober and thankful. we're just in shock how busy it is. it's very sad as well, like... extremely sad. ..like how how many people like appreciated the queen and stuff. it's like, nice to see everyone coming together. cos there's loads of. people, it makes you feel better, it does. because when everyone's sad, but then when you see other l people, you feel a lot better. i hadn't actually cried until i've come today and the atmosphere is amazing. it's kind ofjust peaceful and sort of tranquil, but very respectful. as the crowds continue to gather here, for the king,

it has been a day filled with the business of royalty, the meetings and the audiences that will now take up much of his working life. king charles arrived at buckingham palace from clarence house, where he's still living. the convoy slowed as it reached the palace gates, giving the crowd a clear view. cheering and applause inside, there was a reception for high commissioners based in london. many, he will have known already. and he spent time with the foreign secretary, james cleverly — two men new to their roles. with him, camilla, queen consort, as she too begins a new stage of her life as a working royal. trumpet fanfare the proclamation of a new king in front of windsor castle. it has pleased almighty god to call to his mercy our late sovereign lady, queen elizabeth

ii of blessed and glorious memory, by whose decease the crown of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland is solely and rightfully come to the prince charles philip arthur george. this royal town has been mourning a queen who made her home here in recent years.

this is something that that has never happened in your lifetime. one night lifetime. i imagine your heart — one night lifetime. i imagine your heart was _ one night lifetime. i imagine your heart was pumping - time. actually, i felt pretty

calm. ithink, _ time. actually, i felt pretty calm. i think, you - time. actually, i felt pretty calm. i think, you know, i time. actually, i felt pretty i calm. i think, you know, this calm. ithink, you know, this is a moment, the last few days particularly since the announcement of the death of the queen was at a time to die just. a time to understand it happen. it wasn't, let's be honest, completely unexpected, although we hoped it might not be now. that sort of emotional processing, i think, that sort of emotional processing, ithink, certainly in the stories you've just played, people arejust in the stories you've just played, people are just coming to terms with it, they are coming to terms with the reality. that they won't see her again. that this is goodbye. and it's an opportunity i think after the proclamation now we're back into the period of mourning, for the queen, to really

reflect and to share the stories as the media has been busy doing in your stories have done, to share the stories about the queen, who she was, what she stood for. in my role as governor—general, she was obviously a constitutional, she was a sovereign and our constitutional and head of state. so she had a position that really sat above the fray. you matter on numerous occasions. i wonder what the memory you would hold most dear of the queen is. what is the memory for you? the last time a matter was on the magazine. i was really struck by how someone in the late 90s was so adept, so willing to use a new technology and to be quite

familiar with it. and to be able to establish rapport and connection and put myself and at the beginning, my husband, dr davis, d's, skill that was honed over many decades and a lifetime of work. i. by that. i was struck at the willingness, evenin was struck at the willingness, even in her 90s, to be able to use new ways of making contact, new ways of reaching out and extending that reach. an extending that reach. an enormous _ extending that reach. an enormous figure in so many people's lives. there is a challenge there, isn't there, for king charles iii to follow in those footsteps and hold the commonwealth together and move it forward. , �* it forward. yes, indeed. i'm sure he _ it forward. yes, indeed. i'm sure he is— it forward. yes, indeed. i'm sure he is turning _ it forward. yes, indeed. i'm sure he is turning his - it forward. yes, indeed. i'm sure he is turning his mind l sure he is turning his mind very much to that. it is in the

planning. there will be an opportunity for his heads of state and for other heads of state and for other heads of state to come together. obviously many people, probably the largest event that i will see in my lifetime will be us all converging on london, to go to the state funeral. i imagine world leaders from everywhere will be coming. certainly myself and the prime minister of new zealand are coming. and it's our opportunity to both pay homage to a sovereign who has been incredibly respected and much beloved by the people of new zealand. we are far away but we are also very close at heart to what is happening and very conscious of this period of transition and the effect

that has, particularly on the new king but also on his family who, after all, new king but also on his family who, afterall, i new king but also on his family who, after all, i grieving the loss of someone really close to them. �* , ., ., , them. it's going to be important, _ them. it's going to be i important, nonetheless, them. it's going to be - important, nonetheless, isn't it? is important, nonetheless, isn't it? , ., ., ., it? is going to be important to build-u it? is going to be important to build-up an — it? is going to be important to build-up an identity _ it? is going to be important to build-up an identity for - it? is going to be important to build-up an identity for king i build—up an identity for king charles to do that, as you said, new zealand is a long way away. i believe your heritage is maori and english, it's a country with very mixed heritages in any case. i wonder just how well, don't we know yet, and that will be a matter for the public of new zealand and the government, their government to decide. but what we had in the proclamation ceremony was a very ancient commitment and a very ancient commitment and a very public statement to our commitment to our new king, king charles iii. i had the pleasure of meeting him quite recently because we came to

celebrate the queen's patterning jubilee, and was very struck actually by his warmth and he has had a lot of practice at this, and i have also been attentive to his announcements, to the various things that he's put out. i think we see somebody who is certainly well practised, well—prepared for the role. and if i could observe something that struck me in new zealand, i don't know if it is true, i imagine it is true everywhere else, the fact that there is an automatic ascension, although we do have a proclamation ceremony to confirm that, i think was something of a relief, there is no other contenderfor relief, there is no other contender for the throne, it was quite clear who that person was quite clear who that person was going to be, and it was immediate, so upon the death of the queen, we had a new king.

and actually, there is something about the reassurance of that continuity of monarchy, the fact that we are not in an interregnum period, where we are without or whether there is are without or whether there is a contest. in fact, there is a continuation and one that was well signalled by the queen prior to her death.- well signalled by the queen prior to her death. very much so, continuity _ prior to her death. very much so, continuity and _ prior to her death. very much so, continuity and change - prior to her death. very much so, continuity and change all| so, continuity and change all in one motion. thank you very much forjoining us, i hope you have a safe trip over to the uk in the next few days, thank you. in the next few days, thank ou. . ~' in the next few days, thank ou. . ~ , ., in the next few days, thank ou. ., ~ i. in the next few days, thank ou. ., ~ . in australia, king charles iii has been officially declared the ruling monarch at a ceremony in the country's capital, canberra. thousands of people gathered as the proclamation was signed by the governor general, david hurley, and the prime minister, anthony albanese. the australian army band corps played its first rendition of god save the king for more than 70 years.

proclamations have also been made in the capitals of scotland, wales and northern ireland. at the service in cardiff, it was read in english and welsh. earlier, the new prince of wales spoke to mark drakeford, the first minister of wales, expressing his wish to deepen his relationship with communities across wales. our correspondent hywel griffith reports from cardiff. history is measured by the names of monarchs, and so this new chapter begins with a new title for the ca rolean era. the prince, charles philip arthur geroge, is now, by the death of our late sovereign of happy memory, become our only lawful and rightful liege lord, charles iii. around 1,000 people

gathered inside the castle. fewer than expected, but those who were there wanted to witness the proclamation. it is a really momentous occasion, and our girls a re really interested. they were really sad. we were all really sad about the queen's passing. so a new era has now officially begun. the crowds here today were modest, but many more are expected on friday, when charles makes his first visit to wales as king. it follows over 60 years as prince of wales. his investiture in 1969 drew crowds, but protests, too. it is a ceremony some think won't be repeated for his successor, prince william, who was given the title on friday. in a statement today, he said that he and his wife, catherine, wanted to do

their part to support the aspirations of the welsh people, and to shine a spotlight on both the challenges and opportunities in front of them. having another english prince of wales has split opinion here. yeah, i can see the difficulties, and historically it is quite a controversial title, but i think he does have connections with wales, he was based at anglesey for a while, so i think he does have that connection. at the senedd today, a building opened by queen elizabeth, they celebrated her links to wales. a life lived so unrelentingly in the public gaze. every moment captured, every remark dissected, every smile or frown a story. now that story comes to an end. others recalled rather lighter moments. she wore a suit of peachy pink that day. i had a dress with a dash

of peachy pink too. we matched perfectly, apparently, and you have no idea how many people asked me whether we had prearranged our wardrobe choices that day, as if i was in a secret whatsapp group with the monarch! wales, like the rest of the uk, is going through a changing of the guard, as the focus moves to what the new era will bring. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. in northern ireland, the proclamation was read out in county down. a gun salute at hillsborough castle marked the announcement of the king's accession. as part of a uk tour, the king and the queen consort, camilla, will arrive in belfast on tuesday. our ireland correspondent emma vardy is at royal hillsborough.

sinn fein and the sdlp, northern ireland's largest nationalist parties, they were absent, and really what they were saying today, sinn fein made their political boundaries pretty clear, saying they believe that today's ceremony was for those whose allegiances are to the crown, and the politics of northern ireland, of course, mean that there isn't the support for the monarchy in nationalist communities as there is in unionist communities. nationalists, of course, wouldn't see the royal family as their monarchy, their aspirations are to become part of a united ireland, to leave the uk in the future. but, that said, there is great respect and admiration for the queen across communities here because of the important role she played in peace building and reconciliation between britain and ireland and nationalist parties will be attending other events when the king comes to northern ireland on tuesday. the dean of westminster abbey has confirmed that he will conduct the queen's funeral, which will be held on monday 19th september.

westminster abbey is where britain's kings and queens are crowned, and it's also where the queen married prince philip in 1947. the queen's faith was very important to her, as the head of state, and also supreme governor of the church of england. our religion editor, aleem maqbool, has been looking at her faith. one of the hymns sung at the queen's coronation, starting a service today at the parish church of the royals, st martin—in—the fields, just one of many places of worship in which they've gathered across the country in remembrance. like a priest standing at the altar for the people before god, the queen held the aspirations, commitments and responsibilities of nation and commonwealth in her heart and mind. for 70 years, queen elizabeth was at the heart of nation and commonwealth.

now she's at the heart of god. we'll meet again. what will have been remarked on in many of today's sermons is just how deep the queen's own faith ran. elsewhere, the head of the catholic church in england and wales remembers a moment he saw that up close at a national service at st paul's cathedral. at a certain point in the ceremony, we were all asked to recite a long prayer which was printed out in the order of service. and i looked up and the queen had her eyes shut, and she was reciting this prayer by heart. and i thought, "there's a woman who prays, who probably prays every day." of course, there was a moment every year where we were given an insight into how much the queen's faith guided her, and that was in her christmas broadcasts. for me, the life ofjesus christ, the prince of peace, whose birth we celebrate today,

is an inspiration and an anchor in my life. a role model of reconciliation and forgiveness, he stretched out his hands in love, acceptance and healing. christ's example has taught me to seek to respect and value all people of whatever faith or none. i, charles iii... in the past, much was made of the comments of the then prince charles about wanting to be "defender of faiths". but the oath hasn't changed. king, defender of the faith, do faithfully... and neither has the desire to protect the practice of other faiths that his late mother clearly held dear. we knew her majesty's funeral would take place in westminster abbey, and now we know the man who will conduct it. he's had a meeting with the king over the order of service. we discussed the content, and as you would expect,

with services being prepared on an occasion like this, we will be making some changes. so there's back and forth? there's back and forth, yes. it was interesting to hearjust how distinctive a ceremony the funeral will be, precisely about we have been talking about, how important he queen's faith blustar her. she had her about, how important he queen's faith was to her. she had herfavourite hymns, herfavourite from the bible, and that to some extent will be reflected here on the 19th. back at st martin—in—the—fields, they ended with celebration of the accession of the king and what is, after all, a prayer — the national anthem. # god save the king...# aleem maqbool, bbc news.

we have responses from new zealand in this programme, from australia and hopefully we will have trinidad and tobago scene. also a day of mourning for the queen in india where flags have been flown at half mast. prime minister narendra modi described her as a "stalwart of our time" and the opposition leader sonia gandhi said she was a much—loved figure. there's been a mixed reaction to the decision to hold a day of mourning, with some indians questioning why a symbol of colonial rule is being honoured, as our south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports. a day of mourning. flags were at half—mast across the country in honour of the queen. on the eastern coast, a unique tribute in the sand. this is a land once ruled by queen elizabeth's family, but 75 years since india's independence, the distance between people here and the british monarchy has grown. back in 1961, though, when

the queen had first visited, it was a different country. historian rana safwi remembers seeing her. growing up in those days on fairy tales, for us, the queen was a magical figure. it was the first time we had seen a queen. i have very clear memories of her dress. it was a blue dress, and i remember the guards on horses. today, when we see it, we don't see itjust with a lot of, you know, romantic sentiment of a queen or a royalfamily. today, we also see it as part of the exploitation of the colonies, the imperialism. i asked her how she feels about the day of mourning. condoling the death of a queen who embodied dignity and, you know, duty in her life does not mean that you are condoning colonialism or imperialism. this is the statue of an indian freedom fighter unveiled just a few days ago. what stood here originally was the statue of king george v, queen elizabeth's grandfather. when he was inaugurating this, prime minister narendra modi

said a symbol of slavery was being consigned to history. that tells you what much of india thinks about colonial rule today and why the reaction to the queen's death here has been muted. it's very different just across the border, in the mountainous kingdom of nepal, where there is strong affection for the monarchy. for more than 200 years, soldiers from the gurkha region have served in the uk military. the queen was always accompanied by two gurkha orderlies for ceremonies. this major and his father both served the queen, 30 years apart. on the last duty, she presents us this member of victorian order, this cross, to us, and that's when she really came close to us, close to me.

she saw my medal, the falklands medal, and she softly said, "oh, you have been to the falklands? " and i said, "yes, your majesty." we lost a great lady, and we will remember her, and we will miss her a lot. yogita limaye, bbc news. to other news now — and ukraine says that widespread blackouts in the east of the country have been caused by russia targeting critical civilian infrastructure. president zelensky says it's a deliberate act to punish kyiv for its sweeping territorial gains in recent days. after months of deadlock, ukrainian forces say they've retaken over 1,000 square miles of land in a rapid counter—offensive in the south and east of the country. these blue circles show where the heaviest fighting has been in the past 48 hours.

president zelensky says his army is liberating ukraine step—by—step. and now he claims his troops have liberated the key strategic city of izyum. from kharkiv, our senior international correspondent orla guerin reports. the spoils of war — abandoned by russian troops who beat a hasty retreat. the kremlin�*s firepower now in ukrainian hands. russia says its forces were redeployed. in places, it looks like a rout. for president putin, notjust a defeat, but a humiliation. here, a pinnacle of ukraine's success, retaking the city of izyum. it was a key base for the russians. in newly liberated areas, ukraine's troops getting a hero's welcome. their gains coming so fast, ukrainians can barely keep up.

just look at those smiles. but some will bear the scars of this war for the rest of their lives. like victorfrom kherson region in the south. he's a victim of russian shelling and russian brutality, facing a long recovery. he relives the moment when a russian soldier ordered him to kneel and threatened to shoot him if he refused. he couldn't kneel fast enough, so he was beaten. "anything could have happened," he tells me. "we were saying goodbye to our lives." but the latest victories have given ukrainians

a shot in the arm. for the nation, it's been a morale boost. many are now daring to hope that a turning point has come. in places here, russia's military ambitions now lie in ruins. but this is not the end of the war. the kremlin is likely to hit back hard. and when it comes to capturing ukraine, president putin takes the long view. orla guerin, bbc news, kharkiv. joe biden has urged americans to stand up for democracy "every single day". he was speaking at the 21st anniversary of the september the 11th attacks, which killed more than 3,000 people. leigh milner reports. bell tolls 8:a6am on sunday the 11th of september, new york city, the exact time when the first plane crashed into the world trade center's north tower.

21 years later, the bells of hope rang out at st paul's chapel. nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 attacks, including more than 2,600 at the world trade center, 265 on the four planes, and 125 at the pentagon, where president joe biden paid tribute. i remember a message sent to the american people from queen elizabeth. it was on september the 11th. her ambassador read a prayer of service at st thomas's church in new york where she pointedly reminded us, quote, grief is a price you pay for love. gordon m aamoth, jr. at the memorial site in new york city, families gathered as the names of those who died on september the 11th 2001 were read out. diane massaroli lost

her husband michael who was on the 101st floor of the north tower. he was 38 years old. it is always an anxious day and after the day is over, when i go home, then you are physically exhausted, like you are in a marathon. it's never changed. sam pulia, a retired police chief in illinois, lost his cousin, thomas casoria. he was a firefighter who died saving lives in the north tower. when i got a ride down there that night, it was like, hey, we're not in kansas any more, toto. # 0h, say can you see...# 21 years on, it's a day the world will never forget. leigh milner, bbc news. a march in remembrance of chile's 1973 military coup has seen clashes between police and protestors. violent scuffles with demonstrators

took place at the end of a generally peaceful march in santiago to pay tribute to those who disappeared during the dictatorship. the police used water cannons to disperse the demonstrators as they threw projectiles back. very little separates the two main blocs in swedish politics as votes are counted after sunday's parliamentary election. with over 90% of votes tallied, the right—wing grouping has a narrow lead. maddy savage reports. the polls between the left and right blocs in sweden have been neck and neck over the past few weeks, so we can't say anything for sure until all of the results come in, and there are still postal votes to be counted, even into next week we do expect. the other big story of this election, though, the rise of the nationalist anti—immigration sweden democrat party — they focused a lot on gang crime, on immigration, integration, during the campaign, and really forced a lot of the other parties to

focus on those issues as well, even the social democrats have got much tougher, promising harsher punishments and more police officers, for instance, as a key part of their campaign. the sweden democrats, those nationalists, they look like they will now be the second largest party in the selection, and that will be the first time in this election, and that will be the first time in swedish history that that has happened, representing quite a political shake—up here. whether it is the left or the right bloc that ends up getting the mandate, well, the next government is not in for an easy ride — there is the whole global political situation, the ongoing war in ukraine, rising inflation, and energy prices going up. none of those issues are going anywhere, and as sweden heads into a long, unusually cold winter, we can see them perhaps even coming into sharper focus in the coming months. the spanish teenage tennis star carlos alcaraz has beaten norway's casper ruud to win the us open at flushing meadows in new york and become

the world number one. the 19—year—old won in four sets. he's the youngest grand slam winner since 2005 and the youngest player ever to top the global rankings. let's take a look at the newspapers. they have been coming into us here. i have them all lined up. the theme is pretty clear, as you will see. ijust want the theme is pretty clear, as you will see. i just want to show you this. 2 million people per day, it says, could view the queen's coffin as it will lie in state for four days at westminster abbey. you will see the theme. her last great journey, says daily and also the sum. queen's last great journey, just adding on a day of high emotion. the princess

up strongly by the daily mail, as well. it has its own revelation. the text message that sparked an unexpected sheu that sparked an unexpected shell of family unity. one of the talking points there. and indeed the story goes the talking points there. and indeed the story goes on. queen elizabeth presided over trinidad and tobago, until it attained independence in 1962 and became a republic within the commonwealth in 1976. the queen visited the country three times between 1966 and 2009. the british high commissioner spoke shortly after her death saying, "she was a queen that loved the caribbean, she loved trinidad and tobago," although refused questions from reporters. judy raymond is editor in chief of the trinidad and tobago newsday. thank you forjoining us. interesting that she first visited i think still as head of state but of course that changed in the 1970s. how has

her passing been received in the last few days?— her passing been received in the last few days? quite a lot of people. — the last few days? quite a lot of people. i — the last few days? quite a lot of people, i think, _ the last few days? quite a lot of people, i think, have - the last few days? quite a lot of people, i think, have been| of people, i think, have been saddened because even though it has been a long time since she was head of state and longer since we were colony, the queen did represent stability, continuity. she had been queen as long as almost anybody could remember. she was highly regarded as someone who was devoted to her duty, who did care about the commonwealth and... ., ~ and... oh, dear. looks like, unfortunately, _ and... oh, dear. looks like, unfortunately, judy - and... oh, dear. looks like,| unfortunately, judy raymond and... oh, dear. looks like, - unfortunately, judy raymond has just disappeared for a moment. we will see if we can get her back and hear a bit more about the queen's a relationship with trinidad and tobago. she visited three times but a lot

changed over the years in terms of written�*s relations with trinidad and tobago. let's focus on some of the proclamation ceremony is in the uk. smaller towns and cities have also been holding their own proclamation ceremonies. our correspondent danny savage has been to otley in west yorkshire our late sovereign lady, queen elizabeth ii, of blessed and glorious memory... in town squares across the country, the most traditional of ceremonies. the crown of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland... in the market town of otley in west yorkshire over a hundred people gathered to listen as solely ..has solely and rightfully come to the prince charles... ..and to show their appreciation. it's a great honour and a terrifying responsibility. it's a once in a lifetime occasion.

we will never see another queen probably in our lifetime. certainly not one who has managed to do so much, live so long, and contribute so greatly to the to the country, to the world, to the commonwealth. she was a wonderful lady and we will miss her. it is a historic moment. isn't it? just important to come and experience it. and surprisingly emotional, actually. we found out that this is this incredibly longl tradition where before the age of the telephone and modern. technology, horses and peoplel would have actually headed out from the capital to proclaim - the new king or the new queen. across the country and l in our own town of otley, we wanted to see that. we wanted to hear these ancient words and get the sense - of occasion and this connection to the past, really, which for. us is really important. but as the process of a new monarchy moves forward, this is a kingdom still mourning the loss of its queen. shop windows reflect this. i think it's nice for people just to notice and maybe just to make them smile and just to think, you know, it's

going to have a loss in people's lives. there's people that walk past and if they look at it and smile and it makes them happy to think the queen is back with the person that she loves. here, there were three generations of the same family. i don't think people will ever forget her. discussing the succession... i think it'sjust a lovely. opportunity for everybody to celebrate her life because, you know, she probably- touched everybody's heart. because i'm still quite young, i've not seen much of the work she does. i know it's there, but ijust see her as like a nice woman who cares a lot about herfamily and a lot about other people. god save the king. for people who attended any of these events, it is a moment they are unlikely to forget. another formality in this week of ceremony. danny savage, bbc news, otley in west yorkshire. crowds gathering pretty much wherever you go.

let's return to buckingham palace where thousands of people have been to pay their respects to the queen. our correspondetn charlotte gallagher caught up with two of them. what has been really nice is the different generations that have come down. we've spoken to people who remember the queen's coronation, huddled around their neighbour's tv — the only person on the street who had one — and children whose memory of the queen is of course that hilarious sketch with paddington at thejubilee. so so many happy memories being shared today. let's speak to a couple of people that have come down today. father and daughter nick and jess. and, jess, you were lucky enough to meet the queen, weren't you? yes, i was — in 2012 for her diamond jubilee. it was an amazing moment for me — aged seven, which is crazy, ten years ago! and, yeah, it was such a special moment. i got to give her a bouquet of flowers and...yeah. you gave her the bouquet of flowers but you were a little bit shy, weren't you? yeah! tell everyone what happened next. so, being aged seven, i was quite a shy girl so i decided it would be great to run away from her!

but it ended up capturing a lovely picture of her smiling at me, so... i think that picture shows how much she loved children, as well. yeah. she's kind of laughing a little bit, she obviously loved that moment. and your dad, nick — why did you want to come down today? well, firstly, i was withjess when she gave the queen. the flowers, and so i think, one, we wanted to share i the moment because i worked at hatfield house and that's . where the queen was for her diamond jubilee. - and we, you know, planted trees land introduced her to various — i the good and the great - of hertfordshire at the time. but why we came down i specifically today was... wonderful memories of a wonderful lady. i and...it would just seem entirely appropriate justl to spend little bit of time, sort of quiet reflection, i just standing in front - of the gates of the palace and just time to ourselves to thank the queen - for her wonderful service

to the country. _ she's the only monarch most of us have ever known. what did she mean to you, jess? she meant a lot to me, definitely, as, like, a leading figure in everyone's lives in this country — and even across the world. and i think she wasjust... she had her funny sense of humour, as well, whichjust seemed really, really, really special to a young girl like me, and growing up and seeing someone like that as the leader of our nation. and where's that photo now, of you and the queen? so we've got the photo framed in our house and various other pictures of that day, and also a personal letter from her, as well, which is really nicely framed in our house. i imagine that now is even more special to you. yeah, it's... definitely in the last..., like, as i've grown up, it's become more special because, as i've got older, i've realised how amazing it was, and such an honour

it was to meet her at such a young age and it's... yeah, it's been... even now it's become even more special to me. and you're 17... yeah. ..and still very young, but still she's the most famous woman in the world — everyone knows who she is! yeah! were your friends talking about it when it happened? yeah.. so, luckily, some of my friends got to be there. my primary school got to go to the planting of the tree, and two of my friends also got to witness me meeting her, as well, which was really, really special and nice. wonderful. and so many people have these lovely stories of either meeting the queen or other members of the royal family, and itjust shows you how much the queen means to so many people. i wonder how many of you have wondered aloud what will happen to the corgis.

the queen owned more than thirty corgis during her lifetime. and it's been confirmed that her remaining corgis are going to live with her son prince andrew and his ex—wife sarah ferguson the bbc has confirmed. prince andrew and his daughters gave the to their as a present to to the queen. hello, there. sunday started off on a quiet note. there were some mist and fog patches around, these cleared. for most of us, the weather turned brighter with a little bit of sunshine for a time. and for most of the day, it did stay bright in north scotland — around moray, we had temperatures of 21 degrees or so — but further south—west, we had some thicker cloud, grey and overcast skies into anglesey as the rain started to fall. and this cloud on the satellite picture was that rain—bearing cloud. the rain particularly heavy for a time in northern ireland. now, the weather fronts bringing this wet weather will continue to push their way in through the night—time and into monday as well, where the fronts become quite slow moving, really, across central portions of the uk. to the north of this, we get colder airfeeding in from the north—west,

so temperatures will be dropping here. but across east anglia and south—east england, we've got south—easterly winds. the winds coming from a different area and, actually, it's going to get a bit warmer across those south—eastern areas. so a real day of contrast weather—wise on monday. i suspect it will stay quite damp for much of the day, though, across parts of northern england — particularly in the north—west — and into northern areas of scotland, and at times rain for the north midlands, too. could be an odd patch elsewhere in wales, but otherwise it's going to be warmer across east anglia and south—east england. temperatures 25, 26. 21! in cardiff, as well — warm. but the air will be getting cooler for north—west scotland — just 11! in stornoway with a threat of a few passing showers. now, through monday night, that cold front pushes southwards, so eventually that cooler, fresher air will spread pretty much to all parts of the uk. temperatures more typically — overnight — 9 to 11 degrees celsius, so a much colder night than we've seen of late. still hanging on to temperatures around 15 or 16 degrees, though, in the south. now, for tuesday, got a ridge of high pressure moving in off the atlantic,

pushing that weather front out of the way. and for most of you, it's going to be a dry day with sunny spells. the exception to that story — well, for northern scotland, there'll be a few passing showers with brisk north—westerly winds. and around the english channel, there is a question mark — there could well be a weather front that starts to form here, threatening a little bit of rain towards the extreme south coast of england. but otherwise, for most, it's a dry day with some sunshine. temperatures about 18 to 22 degrees. it will feel warm where the sunshine comes out. and looking at the weather picture for the middle part of the week and towards the end of the week, the only real change is that we start to see this area of high pressure move its way in a little bit more off the atlantic. there will be some showers, though, at times running down across northern scotland, and running down some of our north sea coasts as well, so we may see an area of rain coming in from the english channel, affecting the south coast. there is still a degree of uncertainty about whether that stays in france or whether it moves into the south of england. showers, though, for northern scotland, and between these areas of potential rain —

well, we're looking at a lot of dry weather with sunny spells and temperatures 18 to 22, again, fairly widely. the weather starts to get a little bit cooler, really, as we go through thursday, and i think showers will become more extensive across scotland and also moving into parts of north—east england. otherwise, variable cloud with some spells of sunshine, and those temperatures are falling — 16 in glasgow and belfast, so a cooler day here. even further south — 19s in cardiff and london. not as warm as it has been. now, beyond that, towards friday, the weekend and beyond, this area of high pressure in the atlantic really is set to dominate. so, for many, it will stay dry for quite a long time with some spells of sunshine breaking through the cloud and temperatures generally running into the upper teens. that's the latest. bye— bye.

this is bbc news — welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm david eades — our top stories: the last journey from balmoral — the queen's funeral procession heads through scotland to edinburgh. thousands of people line the streets, and silently pay their respects. the cortege passed through key landmarks as people bid farewell to the country's longest reigning monarch. just as a mark of respect, to see her on herfinaljourney.

our the accession of the new monarch king charles iii — has been proclaimed in towns and cities across the uk. in other news, ukraine's president blames russia for attacks on his country's energy infrastructure, saying they are intended to punish kyiv for its sweeping territorial gains. the coffin of queen elizabeth has embarked on the journey which will lead to herfinal resting place. it left balmoral, where she died on thursday, and arrived on sunday afternoon in edinburgh. crowds — often several people deep — gathered along the route, as the cortege made the 280—kilometre journey to the palace of holyroodhouse, where the coffin will remain overnight. it was a journey which took around six hours. meanwhile, proclamations

formally announcing the accession of king charles iii, have taken place in cardiff, edinburgh and hillsborough castle in northern ireland — as well as in towns and villages around the uk. our special correspondent allan little followed the queen's cortege from balmoral to scotland's capital. it is the place she loved most. balmoral was not a royal residence but a private home to her. her annual respite from the burdens of state and the unrelenting public gaze. today, that gaze falls on this. the first public sight of the coffin of the queen. she had known this landscape since she was a child. towns and villages that knew her �*s notjust as the queen, but as their neighbour. aboyne, kincardine o'neil, banchory, what is the symbolism of this measured progress, in the open green spaces of royal deeside?

the royal company of archers, came to attend the noon lady queen elizabeth ii, of blessed and glorious memory, by whose decease, the crown of the united kingdom in aberdeen, they stood in quiet witness before the cortege turned south, towards the scottish capital. in edinburgh, the king's bodyguard for scotland, proclamation of the reign of king charles. pardon fanfare ..to call to his mercy, our late sovereign, lady queen elizabeth ii, of blessed and glorious memory, by whose decease, the crown

of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, is solely and rightfully come to the prince charles philip arthur george. national anthem is sung three cheers for his majesty, the king. hip—hip! hooray! national anthem is sung. three cheers for his majesty, the king. hip—hip! hooray! at several points, a small group of protesters booed and called for an independent scottish republic, but this was not the prevailing mood. one of the most important

days of my life, to see prince charles become king. and to be proclaimed here in edinburgh. i wish the king all the best for the future. i think he has big boots to fill. it isjust so historic- and it isjust something, like, really- important in history, and i feel so honoured to bel here and to be able to see it, it isjust something else. roclamations have been read on great state occasions here at the mercat cross of edinburgh since the 14th century. the queen was descended directly from robert the bruce and from mary queen of scots, and today is another striking reminder of the long continuities in which the monarchy groups us. after stonehaven, dundee, perth, over the forth and into edinburgh...

from edinburgh castle, the last mile is, appropriately, the royal mile, at the foot of which sits the monarch's official residence — the palace of holyroodhouse, where the queen's ancestor, king james vi of scotland, learned he inherited the throne of england on the death of the first elizabeth, thus uniting the two kingdoms. the bearer party formed by the royal regiment of artillery carried the coffin past three of the queen's children. the princess royal had accompanied the coffin on its progress from balmoral. the coffin of the queen will lie here in rest in the throne room before being taken tomorrow to st giles' cathedral,

where it will lie for 21! hours. for the people who lined the quiet streets today, this is the ritualising of a nation's sorrow. the nearest village to the balmoral estate is ballater, around thirteen kilometres away, and a place where the queen had been known to the local community since childhood. her cortege slowed as it passed through the village on sunday morning, to allow the people there to pay their respects. our scotland editorjames cook has been finding out what the day's events meant for the people of ballater. sometimes history unfolds quietly. ballater, bidding farewell to the sovereign... ..and a neighbour. it is just so sad, but privileged to be here and happy that we could say goodbye. she has been queen since the day i was born, i was born on coronation day and it is

special for me to say goodbye. what did she mean to this area? we knew how much she loved scotland and particularly balmoral. i think we will miss seeing her go to church on sundays. sorry. are you 0k? yeah. how are you feeling? it is a bit sad that she's gone. remember the last time you saw her, where did we see her? when she was coming back from church at balmoral. remember the last time you saw her, where did we see her? when she was coming back from church at balmoral. that's right after that, we think we saw her on horse back riding along the banks in the grounds of balmoral. for adele phillips, this is personal. she was a housekeeper to the queen. i didn't know her in the way the public do, i saw her in her little tweed skirt and headscarf and that kind of thing.

and what was she like? funny, always happy. she liked a joke and she was sarcastic. what did that momentjust there, watching her pass for the last time mean to you? it was quite poignant, but i'm glad i was here to see it. she meant a lot to the area. so it was fitting that it happened here. ballater is slowly getting back to normal, but what that looks like is not yet clear. one of the threads which bound the nation together has unravelled and the question is, what is the future of the united kingdom without elizabeth? because royal deeside is not scotland in miniature. this country contains many citizens who are sceptical about monarchy and opposed to the union.

not that you'd know it here. not today. i think she meant everything, stability through all the years, she's the only monarch that i've ever known. and i think we always look to her and i personally always looked to her as someone who was always there through the dark times. i think king charles iii now will transition very smoothly and very nicely and i think he will definitely... he's big shoes to fill but he will do his best for her, definitely. many here share that sentiment, but before they turn to the king, this was a final display of devotion to their queen. a lot of ceremony to come. let's look ahead to what will be happening in the coming days, during this period of national mourning. the queen's coffin remains in the throne room at holyroodhouse in edinburgh for the next few hours. on monday — the king and members of the royal family will accompany the coffin

in a procession along the royal mile to st giles' cathedral, where a service will be held. the queen will lie at rest at the cathedral for 21! hours, allowing the public to view her coffin for the first time. on tuesday, the coffin will leave the cathedral to be flown from edinburgh to london by the royal air force. it will arrive at raf northolt on tuesday evening and then travel by road — about 15 kilometres — to buckingham palace, to rest in the bow room. princess anne will accompany the queen's body. on wednesday afternoon the coffin will be taken from buckingham palace to the palace of westminster. that will be a slow procession, accompanied by a military parade and by members of the royal family. the queen will lie—in—state in the oldest part of the palace of westminster, westminster hall, for four full days until the morning of herfuneral, allowing members of the public to file past and pay their respects. details on how people can view

the coffin will be released soon. the queen's state funeral will take place at westminster abbey at 11 o'clock on monday 19 september. the day will begin with the queen's coffin being carried from westminster hall to the abbey on the state gun carriage of the royal navy.the day has been declared a bank holiday across the uk. this is the scene at buckingham palace now. it's 3:00 in the morning here in london and it's quieter, obviously, but in recent days it's become a major place of pilgrimage for those wanting to pay their respects, or share their grief. this report now from our royal correspondent, daniela relph. by having to have been arriving

the flags of new zealand, the cook islands, niue and tokelau at full mast, we duly acknowledge the ascension of our new king, his majesty king charles iii. well earlier we spoke to dame cindy kiro to listen to what she had to say about the reactions towards the queen's death within the greater constitutional monarchy. imean, at i mean, at one level it seems like a mere formality but the moving emotion of the moment and the significance of the moment was very palpable for everybody who was there. it was really a statement about the fact that we had lost a queen and we now had a new king. and also, as you will note, we talked about the other

countries, niue, tokelau, cook islands which are also realm countries affiliated through new zealand, friendly agreements and also part of the greater constitutional monarchy. i have to say, i imagine your heart was pumping ifelt imagine your heart was pumping i felt pretty imagine your heart was pumping ifelt pretty calm. imagine your heart was pumping i felt pretty calm. this is a moment, the last few days, since the announcement of the death of the queen was really a time for reflection and a time to diejust, a time to understand that this had happened. it wasn't, to be honest, completely unexpected, although we had hoped it might not be now. so that sort of emotional processing, i think,

and certainly in your stories that you've just played, people are just coming to terms with it. coming terms with the reality that they will not see her again, that this is goodbye, and it's an opportunity i think after the proclamation now, we're back into the period of mourning for the queen, to really reflect and share the stories as the media have been very busy doing, it is your stories have just done, to share their stories about the queen. she was, what she stood for, and in my role as governor—general, she was obviously constitutional, she was asked sovereign, and our constitutional head of state, so she had a position that really sat above the fray and wasn't part of... really sat above the fray and wasn't part of. . .— really sat above the fray and wasn't part of... sorry to drop due, wasn't part of... sorry to drop due. you _ wasn't part of. .. sorry to drop due, you matter— wasn't part of... sorry to drop due, you matter on _

wasn't part of... sorry to drop due, you matter on numerous occasions. i wonder what the memory you had held most dear of the queen is. what is the memory for you? the last time a i met her was on zoom. i was really struck by how someone in the late 90s was so adept, so willing to use a new technology and to be quite familiar with it. and to be able to establish rapport and connection and put myself and at the beginning, my husband, dr davis, at ease, and tha'ts a skill that was honed over many decades and a lifetime of work. queen elizabeth presided over trinidad and tobago, until it attained independence in 1962 and became a republic within the commonwealth in 1976. the queen visited the country threee times between 1966 and 2009. the british high commissoner spoke shortly after her death

—— the queen visited the country three times between 1966 and 2009. the british high commissoner spoke shortly after her death saying she was a queen that loved the caribbean, she loved trinidad and tobago, although refused questions from reporters. judy raymond is editor in chief of the trinidad and tobago newsday. thank you for persevering with us. we were talking about zoom just now in the queen coming to grips with it, we are struggling with a debate. can you tell us how the queen has been perceived in recent years, i suppose, and what sort of impact the debt has had? well, as ou impact the debt has had? well, as you pointed _ impact the debt has had? well, as you pointed out, _ impact the debt has had? well, as you pointed out, this - as you pointed out, this country is now a republic, so she has not been ahead of she wasn't our head of state since 1976 but she was a very familiarfigure, she was 1976 but she was a very familiar figure, she was a symbol of continuity and

stability in the commonwealth of course is still very important to this country, the last time she was here in 2009, it was for a commonwealth heads of government meeting, so she was still important to this country in that sense and the day after her death, our national flag was flown at half mast is a mark of respect. the same will be done on the day of herfuneral. her image, the story. —— the story of her death was the lead story on all of our daily newspapers the following day. i think partly as a person, not simply as a symbol of the monarchy or a form of government, she herself, simply because she had been queen for so long and had played that role so well and in your own particular way, she still did command a lot of respect for the country that is at the same time still very

proud of its independence and republican status. i proud of its independence and republican status.— republican status. i think you touched on — republican status. i think you touched on a _ republican status. i think you touched on a very _ republican status. i think you touched on a very important i touched on a very important point there, there is elizabeth the queen, the person point there, there is elizabeth thr over en, the person ee'msf” *" "w” ,, point there, there is elizabeth thr over so. the person ee'msf” *" "w” ,, an over so many decades and then there is the monarchy, and perhaps that's a much today represents but has represented as a symbol of british rule and british belay behaviour in the past. i guess there are people in trinidad & tobago who would certainly still struggle with that. , , �* , that. yes, definitely. as you would be — that. yes, definitely. as you would be aware, _ that. yes, definitely. as you would be aware, in - that. yes, definitely. as you would be aware, in the - that. yes, definitely. as you would be aware, in the uk, | would be aware, in the uk, there has been a growing consciousness over the last few years of the extent to which, for instance, the industrial revolution was financed by proceeds of colonisation. there has been an increasing call for reparations in this part of the to make up for servitude and slavery. but i don't think people held that against the queen personally. i mean, there

has a greater influence and a say in the world. the caribbean community carries that on to some extent but we are also part of the much larger and more group of the commonwealth and that does retain its importance. in and that does retain its importance.— and that does retain its imortance. ., , ., importance. in many areas. jud . importance. in many areas. judy. thank— importance. in many areas. judy. thank you _ importance. in many areas. judy, thank you very - importance. in many areas. judy, thank you very much l judy, thank you very much indeed forjoining us in sharing your thoughts there. to other news now — and ukraine says that widespread blackouts in the east of the country have been caused by russia targeting critical civilian infrastructure. president zelenskyy says it's a deliberate act to punish kyiv for its sweeping territorial gains in recent days. after months of deadlock, ukrainian forces say they've retaken over 1,000 square miles of land in a rapid counter—offensive in the south and east of the country. these blue circles show where the heaviest fighting has been in the past 48 hours. president zelensky says

his army is liberating ukraine step—by—step. and now he claims his troops have liberated the key strategic city of izyum. from kharkiv, our senior international correspondent orla guerin reports. the spoils of war abandoned by russian troops who beat a hasty retreat. the kremlin's firepower now in ukrainian hands. russia says its forces were redeployed. in places, it looks like a rout. for president putin, notjust a defeat, but a humiliation. here, a pinnacle of ukraine's success, retaking the city of iyzum. it was a key base for the russians. in newly liberated areas,

ukrainian troops getting a hero's welcome. their gains coming so fast, ukrainians can barely keep up. just look at those smiles. but some will bear the scars of this war for the rest of their lives, like victor from kherson region in the south. he's a victim of russian shelling and russian brutality, facing a long recovery. he relives the moment when a russian soldier ordered him to kneel and threatened to shoot him if he refused. he couldn't kneel fast enough, so he was beaten. "anything could have happened," he tells me. "we were saying goodbye to our lives." but the latest victories have given ukrainians a shot in the arm.

for the nation, it's been a morale boost. many are now daring to hope that a turning point has come. in places here, russia's military ambitions now lie in ruins. but this is not the end of the war. the kremlin is likely to hit back hard, and when it comes to capturing ukraine, president putin takes the long view. orla guerin, bbc news, kharkiv. another chronicle of what was a very historic and sombre day on sunday. the daily express, a familiar picture. ijust wanted to open up as well here, it is there, 2 million people a day could view the queen's coffin, the estimate for the number of people who want to see the queen lying in state in

westminster abbey. the sun has virtually the same picture. the mirror follows the same route, the final journey mirror follows the same route, the finaljourney home. still a long way of ourjourney to go, but the very clear. they all got those special tributes inside, but the guardian, the queen begins herfinaljourney and again, that is something the daily telegraph is done. i do want to focus on the times at the moment the picture of the brothers outside windsor castle with their wives, something very few people expected to see. william did not want to greet well—wishers without his brother, that's a story that times are focusing on. this if i turn to the daily mail, they are doing the same thing with their revelation, a bombshell text which sparked an

unexpected show of family unity but again, the main picture on the main story, the saddest journey, now the long goodbye. as i say, this isjust a mail, at the age of 73, king charles iii, grandfather of the nation, our bitterns will be encouraged to view him as a compassionate and wise monarch that is hailed on all four corners of the realm there is with had the proclamations in cardiff, edinburgh and hillsborough castle is well on the edge of belfast. as we've made clear, there's of protocol and ceremony come as we guide you through towards the state funeral which takes place next

monday, monday the 19th of september and we also have for you now a special programme to mark the beginning of the queen's final journey. and i canjust see now in the background the hearse and other vehicles almost at the gates of balmoral. she came here at the start of the summer holidays but leaves now for the final time. clear, talking to local people in ballater and the surrounding area, how much she meant to them, the shop windows so many people gathering in the town.

seeing the coffin begin this very solemn journey certainly makes it real.

i think it's very interesting that of the last four monarchs to die in modern times, only one of them died in london. this love of the british countryside is a tradition in the royal family. the queen, in fact, is the first monarch in modern times to die in scotland. her father and grandfather died in sandringham. and queen victoria died actually on the isle of wight where she loved spending so much time. and what's interesting, back in those days they hadn't really thought out the idea that the people would want to take part in what happened. the coffin was put on a warship that was brought to southampton, then it was whisked up by train to waterloo and across london to paddington to go on to windsor so it was only

between those two london railway stations that people got a chance to pay their respects. of course, they'll come later, they came later, the lying in state and the funeral, but what we are watching here is a modern ritual, a folk ritual, too, which has developed out of people's sorrow but also love and respect for the queen. somebody said, i heard someone say they wanted to be a witness to history, i think people want to be a part of history, that's the sensation, grandparents bringing their children before school so that they will remember this, it will be part of their lives.

the cortege carrying the queen continues and all along the route we are seeing people standing at the end of their driveways, standing alongside the road, wherever they can get to, to pay their respects to the queen. with me, frank gardner, our security correspondent, and, frank, i know you've got some memories that you want to share of the queen. yes, i was lucky enough to meet her on seven occasions and what always struck me is what an extraordinarily good listener she was. she wasn't going through the motions, she was genuinely interested in people. she gave me my obe for services to journalism back in 2005,

and i was staggering along with my calipers and frame inquired after my health and whether it was permanent, the effort to stand up here, which was lovely. that you gave me my obe exactly 50 years after you gave my grandfather his obe for services to forestry in 1955? often, up until recently, people have laboured austere, remote person. quite the opposite, she had a really keen

i've cleared this with the palace and they are more and i was lucky enough to have lunch with her in the palace, there were other people present, we were discussing the middle east and oman, and at the time, sultan qaboos was on the throne, this was, i think, 2008, and she said, i rather liked the previous sultan but i suppose, i suppose he just grew out of touch with his people and got deposed by his son, perhaps it will happen to me! i thought that was so wonderful. that humour, obviously, you had the chance to experience that at first hand and many have had the chance of that privilege to share it at first hand and as we just alluded to, a lot cannot be shared, we know the audiences

will forever remain secret. exactly, and for reasons of... able to have that privilege of being able to speak privately, as for her. but, also, there are obviously a lot of anecdotes that are shared, and also we have the things that were on display for all of us, those moments that, for instance, the filming with paddington. oh, just brilliant! i think, to many people's eyes, is the one that many people have left a little wrapped sandwich saying, "for later." aw, the way she said that, i can't watch that enough. it is beautiful. it did remind us, people... it is so nice, frank, to hear a funny story,

the sort of experience the royal family had privately, joanna, the essence of her constitutionaljob meant to remain silent until later because, you know, the solemn a very human human who transcended us all.

and, periodically, as you see, the cameras are switched back as well to the various vantage points that we have in edinburgh because we talk about the royal mile a lot, it is very famous, it is well—known, in terms of tourism as well, but there are many, many other streets, notjust the royal mile that we are focused on, and there are many streets that are really filling up, have been filling up over the course of the day. but edinburgh's part in this is huge, as we

have been reflecting. there has been a lot of preparation, a lot of build—up, and edinburgh will be the first place in the uk that members of the public are able to pay their very last respects as the queen will lie at rest for a period. robert, you will be watching later all of this, and you were explaining early at the notion that lying in state hasn't always happened, it is relatively new in historical terms? yes, the first... as i was saying, the first lying in state we know of on a major scale was for gladstone, the prime minister. and at the end of queen victoria's reign, george v, who was the queen's grandfather, when he saw this event, he thought it would be a wonderful way

to honour his own father edward vii, the great—grandfather the queen. and, so, that is when the institution started. the lying in state was originallyjust for a day or so. now, for elizabeth ii, it is going to be a day, 24—hours in scotland and four days in london. i was reflecting on her love of racing. i think one of the secrets of her success and her meaning to people was that while her job was grand, she was not grand. it is a cliche to talk about the common touch but she just had populist instincts in her, and as we have said so many times, she was a player who understood she was in a system, she was in a system that is more important than any one individual.

and she worked so hard to make the royal family operate as a team. and as we were saying earlier, too, king charles is clearly taking steps to imitate her very much in talking to william about the need for him to get together with harry. that is clearly king charles hard at work following in the traditions of his mother.

just people as far as the eye can see as this cortege makes its slow, final procession through the streets of edinburgh. applause.

people here in such huge numbers, it would be easy to see some jostling and shoving as people try to get their best spot but there is a real kind of family atmosphere here, you've got young babies, old people, dogs, you name it. generations have come out and they are standing very patiently, very quietly, waiting for the cortege to arrive, without any sense of selfishness, trying to grab their own spot, it is very, very friendly, and it is very, very sombre. people are standing, reflecting on what's happened as they wait to see the cortege, and it is very different from other occasions where you might see huge crowds like this. and looking at the numbers of people lining the royal mile there, it got me thinking about other times we've seen huge crowds come out like this, particularly along the royal mile in edinburgh. the last time i can remember seeing anything like this was when the scottish parliament was being opened for the first time in 1999. there weren't quite

so many people there then but the whole of the royal mile was lined with well—wishers. when they saw queen elizabeth driving in an open—top vehicle up from holyroodhouse, all the way the royal mile to the general assembly building of the church of scotland to open the scottish parliament for the first time, there were people lining the streets of the royal mile in order to catch a glimpse of queen elizabeth. she came to scotland very early in her reign, she made a real point of coming herejust three weeks after the coronation in 1953 and, again, her and her husband, the duke of edinburgh, drove through the streets of edinburgh in an open—top vehicle so people could see them. people were lining the royal mile then in order to say hello to their new queen in 1953 and they have come out in even greater numbers in order to say goodbye to queen elizabeth in edinburgh.

applause. when she opened the scottish parliament in 1999, the queen spoke very deliberately about the people of scotland and she said the grit,

determination, and humour, the forthrightness and above all the strong sense of identity of the scottish people are qualities which contribute so much to the life of the united kingdom. it was her paying tribute to, well, as she said, the grit and determination of scottish people and making clear she understood that this was a country within the united kingdom with its own sense of identity and people of a distinct character. she knew them, she understood them, she cared deeply for scotland, and that will be one of the reasons that we are seeing just so many people coming out to catch a glimpse of the coffin as it is driving through the streets of edinburgh making its way here to the historic old town right in the centre of edinburgh where the cortege will finish its journey at the palace of holyroodhouse which was, of course, always the queen's official residence whenever she was in scotland.

and so the queen is very nearly at the end of her journey for today. the hearse pulled up at the front of the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh.

so quiet at holyroodhouse.

and just there again, as the coffin was taken inside, we had that flash, that momentary shot where we remember that there are children and grandchildren who have lost someone very dear to them, just as the nation says goodbye to the longest reigning monarch in its history.

hello. sunday brought us some warm weather and some wet weather. and monday promises more of both. rain, which will be heavy across some parts of northern england and north wales. but for the south of the uk, some real warmth — temperatures into the middle 20s celsius. that warm air being pushed northwards by this low churning around to the southwest of europe. this low bringing outbreaks of rain for some of us. and it will be to the south of those rain bands that we do get to tap into some of that really warm air — especially across the south and east of england. 1a, 15, 16 degrees as we start monday morning — a very mild start for pretty much all parts of the uk. cloud and various bands of rain across parts of southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england, north wales. it'll be through greater manchester, lancashire,

merseyside, north wales where we see the heaviest rain, which could cause some localised flooding and travel disruption. to the north of that, sunny spells, one or two showers, brisk winds, temperatures of 11! to 18 degrees. to the south of those various bands of cloud and rain, some real warmth — 21! to 26 degrees. a lot of dry weather, potentially just one or two showers. now, during monday night, we push the cloud and a little bit of rain southwards, and that will tend to push the warm air southwards, as well. so 19 degrees for the channel islands first thing on tuesday morning. compare that with just eight there in newcastle. a much cooler, fresherfeel across many parts of the uk. and then into tuesday, still cloud and maybe some patchy rain in the south of england — more especially the channel islands. but elsewhere, good spells of sunshine, northerly winds starting to develop so there will be a cooler, fresherfeel — 15 to 22 degrees. those temperatures still quite respectable for mid—september. now, as we head into wednesday, it may be that this frontal

system pushes northwards, introducing some rain for the channel islands and perhaps the south of england — uncertainty about that. but, broadly speaking, we'll be watching high pressure build from the west through this week, and that will feed us northerly winds and, actually, we'll start to tap into some really rather chilly air. so for the end of the week, lower temperatures by day, potentially some quite chilly nights. but aside from a few showers, it will be dry.

let's take a look at buckingham palace. it'sjust past five in the morning here in london, and it's quieter now but it will become busier as today progresses, as we have seen in recent days as it has become a major place of pilgrimage for those wanting to pay their respects, or share their grief. this report now from our royal correspondent, daniela relph. they have been having arriving in their thousands, in a slow walk to buckingham palace. security had to hold the crowd back to stem the flow of people but still they kept coming. with no school of the weekend, there a huge number of families here. some even brought their pets. the mood, sober and thankful. we're just in shock how busy it is. they're very sad as well, how many people appreciated the queen, it's nice to see

them coming together. because there are loads of people, it makes - you feel better. you're sad but when you see other people you feel a lot better. - i hadn't actually cried until i came today. the atmosphere is amazing, it's kind ofjust peaceful and tranquil, but very respectful. as the crowds continue to gather here for the king, it's been a day filled with the business of royalty. the meetings and the audiences that will now take up much of his working life. king charles arrived at buckingham palance from clarence house where he is still living. the convoy slowed as it reached the palace gates, giving the crowd a clear view. cheering and applause. inside, there was a reception for him in london. many he will have known already. and he spent time with the foreign secretary, james cleverly, two men

new to their roles. with him, camilla queen consort, as she too begins a new stage of her life as a working royal. fanfare the proclamation of a new king in front of windsor castle. it has pleased almighty god, to call to his mercy, the late sovereign lady, queen elizabeth ii of blessed and glorious memory by whose decease the crown of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland is solely and rightfully come to prince charles philip arthur george. this royal town has been mourning a queen who made her home here in recent years. what is becoming increasingly clear is the public�*s desire to do something or go somewhere as a way of paying their respects. it is a feeling likely

to strengthen in the coming days ahead of the state funeral. daniella relph, bbc news. let's have a look at around the world. there has been a day of mourning in india where flags have been flown at half—mast. prime minister narendra modi described her as a stormwater of our time. opposition leader sonia gandhi said she was a much loved figure. there has been a mixed reaction to the decision to hold a day of mourning with some indians questioning why a symbol of colonial rule is being honoured. let's speak now to bishwanath ghosh, associate editor at the hindu newspaper. welcome to the programme. talkers through from your perspective, the reaction first to the queen to begin with.

india has a long and a bit of a fascination with royalty. most indians grew up reading stories about it, you know, "once upon about it, you know, "once upon a time there was a king, queen, a prince, princess, the princes handsome." you know, those kind of stories we grew up with. even the royalty in india was abolished sometime ago, the 19605, abolished sometime ago, the 1960s, so abolished sometime ago, the 19605, so inaudible abolished sometime ago, the 1960s, so inaudible remained that state of fascination, you know, so i would say that the royal family of britain they were great subjects for indians as well to watch, to take a look at, and i think that fascination people have is with

diana in the family, everyone was you know, it was read with great interest. with princess diana there was huge sorrow. what is happening now, it is nothing compared to india back then, but ever since and royalty has been received for social media, people have been following, you know, pictures on instagram, facebook, so there has always been curiosity about the royal family and ages are national combination of a milestone of that fascination. as you describe, there is huge fascination and a following of the queen, the royal family, but there are clearly mixed

feelings about decisions made on behalf of the prime minister around ramadi to call for a day of mourning because, for some actually the royal family represents a colonial past? —— prime minister around ramadi. it doesn't necessarily reflect the general mood of the pantry. when we talk about the royal family in india we don't take that into consideration so much as rather they make interesting subjects. so, yes, one can question a lot of things but i think at a time like this, it is probably not much difference than from the uk, so the questioning of inaudible so iumpy questioning of inaudible so jumpy that is the feeling of

india at the moment.- jumpy that is the feeling of india at the moment. what do ou india at the moment. what do you think _ india at the moment. what do you think the _ india at the moment. what do you think the relationship - india at the moment. what do you think the relationship will| you think the relationship will be like going forward between india and the royal family? think because of the love because of social media, people will hook on to who does what, how they conduct themselves in public, i can see them to be subjects of fascination more than what they are doing. i live in the inaudible and the question was about what can king charles used to sign the ascension. inaudible thank you to give us a reaction. bishwanath ghosh.

we bearing witness to another moment of deep and historic significance for aotearoa, new zealand. with the ceremony, and with the flags of new zealand, the cook islands, nieui and tokaloau, we duly note the ascension of the king, his majesty king charles the third. in australia king charles iii has been officially declared the ruling monarch at a ceremony in the country's capital, canberra. thousands gathered as the proclamation was signed by the australian governor—general david hurley

and the prime minister at the albanese. the australian army band call played its first rendition of god save the king for more than 70 years. the prime minister of barbuda will confirmed that they will be evoked about being a republic. he has emphasised that the movement was not an act of hostility. our now i am joined by doctor cindy, a senior manager in history at the university of sydney, specialising in monarchy and colonialism. we are hearing from reaction around the world. we looked at

new zealand and australia, both formally announcing king charles iii, but also the reaction in antigua and barbuda where they will also have the conversation about moving away from having the king yes head of state? , from having the king yes head of state? . ., of state? yes, good morning. it is a complex _ of state? yes, good morning. it is a complex situation _ of state? yes, good morning. it is a complex situation not - of state? yes, good morning. it is a complex situation notjust l is a complex situation notjust between different countries in the commonwealth but even within them. to go back to the point about antigua and barbuda, this would be a process that would wait until after the six and hopefully achieves the election next year, which he hopes will because he has a very generous majority in the local parliament, but i think in the caribbean, in australia and indeed around the commonwealth realms there will be different views about the future, and we know already in australia that the prime minister and the albanese who —— anthony

albanese who —— anthony albanese who —— anthony albanese who came to office here in may, he cast mr thistlethwaite with a pathway for australia, republic, thistlethwaite with a pathway foraustralia, republic, but for australia, republic, but prime foraustralia, republic, but prime minister albanese has also said this this isn't such also said this this isn't such a time for such a referendum and committed australia, confirming what he said originally, that the for his first term in office, in australia that is three years, is to entrain and indigenous voice to parliament, and a referendum on a republic would be a topic for a future government. i think that this more nuanced approach and understanding is really important. a republic may be something in the future but it isn't the only issue of importance in australia but i would say also in antigua and barbuda where there would be a range of views, and a desire, maybe even a promised himself to be respectful. and as he says, this is not a hostile act. �* , says, this is not a hostile act. ~ . says, this is not a hostile act. m says, this is not a hostile act. as you say, it isn't the time, act. as you say, it isn't the time. it — act. as you say, it isn't the time. it is _ act. as you say, it isn't the time, it is about _ act. as you say, it isn't the time, it is about respect, l act. as you say, it isn't the j time, it is about respect, a period of mourning at the

moment, isn't it? but in time, what do you feel could going forward, because of because for many the queen was a unifying figure, wasn't she? absolutely, and ttoin figure, wasn't she? absolutely, and going back. _ figure, wasn't she? absolutely, and going back, listening - figure, wasn't she? absolutely, and going back, listening to - and going back, listening to your indian correspondent who works at a newspaper that in a colonial times was a very strong critic of british time in india. of course, there was that particular relationship with india, and so to other monarchs, they have particular relationships, particularly with first nations peoples, indigenous peoples for example in new zealand, australia and canada. it is a complex relationship. i think it is one that needs to be really thought through. i think it is appropriate that time is taken to really think about what for example the role of his nations people would be in a republic in australia for example. it isn't a simple, let's get rid of the monarchy and become the republic. it is worth pointing

out that even were some states to become republics, and i would expect that if the caribbean wealth would, we know that the prime minister of jamaica and the government that has made they wish before the queennot death for them to become a republic without a clear timetable. become a republic without a cleartimetable. i become a republic without a clear timetable. i think we will see more caribbean nations which of course are confronted with very painful legacies of slavery choose to become republics. but it doesn't in any way change their status as loyal and voluntary members of the commonwealth. that is something to keep mind. becoming a republic doesn't mean that a country is leaving the commonwealth, that the commonwealth will disappear. that is an important .2, because for many of these caribbean nations, being a part of the commonwealth is incredibly important to them, isn't it? ~ , ., isn't it? absolutely, for everyone- _ isn't it? absolutely, for everyone. i _ isn't it? absolutely, for everyone. i spoke - isn't it? absolutely, for everyone. i spoke to i isn't it? absolutely, for everyone. i spoke to al isn't it? absolutely, for - everyone. i spoke to a senior former australian diplomat. australia is a relatively wealthy country but he said australia doesn't have a huge

diplomatic war, so i commonwealth is a great platform to have meetings with other member states in a relatively inexpensive and efficient way, or the more for money countries. a digger and barbuda have less than 100,000 people. the commonwealth is hugely important and i don't see any signs that that will disappear at all.— see any signs that that will disappear at all. thank you for “oinint disappear at all. thank you for joining us _ disappear at all. thank you for joining us and _ disappear at all. thank you for joining us and sharing - disappear at all. thank you for joining us and sharing your- joining us and sharing your expertise on those. it is something that we will discuss in some detail later. we return to the events surrounding the death of her majesty queen elizabeth in just a few moments. now let's take a look at some of the news for the day. you can says widespread blackouts on the east have been caused by russia targeting critical civilian infrastructure. president zelenskyy says it is a deliberate act to punish kyiv for its sweeping territorial gains in recent days. after months of deadlock, ukrainian forces say they have reta ken

over 1000 square miles of land in a rapid counteroffensive and the south and east of the country. if we look at the blue circles, they show are the heaviest fighting has been in the last 48 hours. president zelenskyy says his army is liberating euchareena step—by—step, and now he claims his trips have liberated the key strategic city of kharkiv and izyum. the spoils of war abandoned by russian troops who beat a hasty retreat. the kremlin's firepower now in ukrainian hands. russia says its forces were redeployed. in places, it looks like a rout. for president putin, notjust a defeat, but a humiliation. here, a pinnacle of ukraine's success, retaking the city of iyzum. it was a key base

for the russians. in newly liberated areas, ukrainian troops getting a hero's welcome. their gains coming so fast, ukrainians can barely keep up. just look at those smiles. of their lives, like victor from kherson region he's a victim of russian shelling and russian brutality, facing a long recovery. he relives the moment when a russian soldier ordered him to kneel and threatened to shoot him if he refused. he couldn't kneel fast enough, so he was beaten. "anything could have happened," he tells me.

"we were saying goodbye to our lives." but the latest victories have given ukrainians a shot in the arm. for the nation, it's been a morale boost. many are now daring to hope that a turning point has come. in places here, russia's military ambitions now lie in ruins. but this is not the end of the war. the kremlin is likely to hit back hard, and when it comes to capturing ukraine, president putin takes the long view. orla guerin, bbc news, kharkiv. let's speak to the former us ambassador to ukraine, johnny is life from warsaw, having just left kyiv on sunday. thank you so much for being on the

programme. we werejust you so much for being on the programme. we were just hearing in that report from our colleagues at the human cost of this war that has been going on now for a long time. having just left the country, give us will take on how ukraine is advancing now against russian forces, and your take on how this is progressing. this new ukrainian counteroffensive which has been highly successful around kharkiv, pushing russians out of territories ordering kharkiv, and also some progress in the south in kherson as putin's the defeat in ukraine. he lost the battle in the north, that was in march and april, then he was going to march and take the donbas region in the east. he was stopped by the ukrainians about two or three weeks ago. he couldn't go farther. now the ukrainians have taken back a good bit of territory so he has now suffered three depletes in ukraine —— defeats. but the

ukrainians have been very successful against the military, there has been aware of horror against civilians, murdering 100,000 is an marrabel, mass crimes all of the country, targeting civilians, as your report makes cleanup. the response to the military defeat is to bomb civilians, and of course abducting over a quarter of a million ukrainian children. the war will continue until putin realises, until the russian leadership realises they cannot conquer ukraine. sadly they don't realise it yet so they are returning to their speciality, mass murder of civilians. speciality, mass murder of civilians-— civilians. from your perspective, - civilians. from your perspective, this i civilians. from your- perspective, this warble only and when president putin and those in russia decide it is no longer their goal to continue with this and try and take ukraine?— with this and try and take ukraine? , . ., ukraine? yes, correct, as long as the west — ukraine? yes, correct, as long as the west continues - ukraine? yes, correct, as long as the west continues to - as the west continues to provide strong, good support, it should provide better

support, more advanced weapons, but as long as we are doing what we are doing now, putin cannot win. his intent if we give ukraine more weapons they will force an end to the war sooner, a war that will leave ukraine independent to control its own territory. $5 control its own territory. as ou control its own territory. as you have — control its own territory. as you have clearly explained, the horrified civilians in the meantime isjust horrified civilians in the meantime is just beyond horrified civilians in the meantime isjust beyond our understanding, and the recent reports we are getting, president zelensky accusing russia of specific bombing infrastructure in those areas where they have regained ground to just cause power cuts.- to just cause power cuts. look, that is awful. _ to just cause power cuts. look, that is awful. but _ to just cause power cuts. look, that is awful. but it _ to just cause power cuts. look, that is awful. but it is - to just cause power cuts. look, that is awful. but it is not - to just cause power cuts. look, that is awful. but it is not as i that is awful. but it is not as bad as russian forces actually controlling territory. they conduct torture on civilians, raping of women, abduction of children. ukrainian people, do

not want to leave ukrainian citizens from the control of the monsters of the kremlin and i understand that. you the monsters of the kremlin and i understand that.— i understand that. you are makint i understand that. you are making a _ i understand that. you are making a lot _ i understand that. you are making a lot of _ i understand that. you are | making a lot of statements about what russia is doing as if it is fact. russia is denying all of these accusations about war crimes, especially against civilians. what do you know about the process of independent verification of what is going on, and also any kind of justice in terms of that going forward with yellow there are substantial efforts under way, not just in substantial efforts under way, notjust in ukraine but internationally, to find evidence _ internationally, to find evidence of _ internationally, to find evidence of war - internationally, to find l evidence of war crimes. internationally, to find - evidence of war crimes. we note their work war crimes verify by international observers in irpin. war crimes committed in mariupol are based on aerial surveys which show mass graves of thousands of people and there are ukrainian reports which have now been verified

internationally of up to one how —— internationally of up to one how --100,000 internationally of up to one how ——100,000 dead in the town of mariupol. that cannot be verified right now but we know the russians are subjected mariupol two months long campaign of starvation of bombardment and we know there was a serious torture going on. but in terms of how long ukrainians can last for, as you say, we are more than six months now. the ukrainian army are determined and fighting, but for civilians, it is a horror. how long can that be sustained for?— sustained for? they believe the are sustained for? they believe they are fighting _ sustained for? they believe they are fighting for- sustained for? they believe they are fighting for their i they are fighting for their lives as ukrainians and they are right about that. besides the war crimes which have been substantial, some have been substantiated by international observers, the former president of russia says the idea of the war is to destroy ukraine as an entity at the russian media have been very outspoken. that

is why you have war... excuse me, scars of genocide saying this looks like a campaign of genocide. the ukrainian people know they will suffer under russian bonds but they were for ship —— suffer much more under russian control so they are fighting for their existence. that is why the important reason they will win. russian soldiers have no stake in this fight, this is putin's war and the ukrainian people are fighting for existence as ukrainians. in fighting for existence as ukrainians.— fighting for existence as ukrainians. , ., ., ukrainians. in terms of how this war _ ukrainians. in terms of how this war has _ ukrainians. in terms of how this war has unfolded, - ukrainians. in terms of how this war has unfolded, we l ukrainians. in terms of how . this war has unfolded, we have talked about russia and ukraine but the impact on the rest of the world. the european economy is braced for a tough autumn and winter costs of energy, etc, etc. your take on how routing has played a role in all of this with yellow well, putin's response to sanctions was to stop _

putin's response to sanctions was to stop sending - putin's response to sanctions was to stop sending oil- putin's response to sanctions was to stop sending oil and l putin's response to sanctions l was to stop sending oil and gas to europe. something that will hurt him and russia in the long run, substantially. in the short run it will make this winter much more difficult. what i can say is this. putin's objective, objectives plural, is to re—establish, if he can, substantial moscow control over all the territories in the former soviet empire. he said that explicitly in the run—up to this war, this new invasion. the treaties that russia sent to nato makes this clear. the cost to you are of a successful russian military operation in ukraine, which might well be followed by russian military steps against baltic states, nato members, will be far, far higher. still, the smart thing for the united states and europe to make sure ukraine defeats putin in ukraine so they don't have to deal with estonia and latvia. of course

it is the right thing morally because the russians are waging a war of war crimes at a minimum, bordering on genocide in ukraine, and this is a disgrace to let this stand. john herbst, thank you for your time, former us ambassador to ukrainejoining us live time, former us ambassador to ukraine joining us live from war so having just been to ukraine. joe biden has urged americans to stand up for democracy "every single day". he was speaking at the 21st anniversary of the september 11th attacks, which killed more than 3,000 people. gail maclellan reports. bell tolls 8:1i6am on sunday the 11th of september, in new york city. this was the exact time when the first plane crashed into the world trade center's north tower. now, 21 years later, the bells of hope rang out at st paul's chapel. nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 attacks —

including more than 2,600 at the world trade center, 265 on the four planes, and 125 at the pentagon — where the us president joe biden paid tribute. i remember a message sent to the american people from queen elizabeth. it was on september the 11th. her ambassador read a prayer of service at st thomas's church in new york where she pointedly reminded us — quote — "grief is the price we pay for love". gordon m aamoth, jr. at the memorial site in new york city, families gathered as the names of those who died on september the 11th 2001 were read out. diane massaroli lost her husband michael, who was on the 101st floor of the north tower. he was 38 years old. this is always an anxious day and after the day's over,

when i go home, then you are physically exhausted, like you ran a marathon. but yeah, no, it's never changed. sam pulia, a retired police chief in illinois, lost his cousin, thomas casoria. he was a firefighter who died saving lives in the north tower. when i got a ride down there that night, it was like, "hey, we're not in kansas any more, toto." # 0h, say can you see...# it might be 21 years on, but it's a day the world will never forget. gail maclellan, bbc news. a march in remembrance of chile's 1973 military coup has seen clashes between police and protestors. violent scuffles with demonstrators took place at the end of a generally peaceful march in santiago to pay tribute to those who disappeared during the dictatorship. the gendarmerie used water cannons to disperse the demonstrators as they threw

projectiles back. sweden is narrowly on course to return a right—wing government. a final result is expected on wednesday. the campaign has been dominated by gang shootings and immigration issues. maddy savage reports. the polls between the left and right blocs in sweden have been neck and neck over the past few weeks, so we can't say anything for sure until all of the results come in, and there are still postal votes to be counted, even into next week we do expect. the other big story of this election, though, the rise of the nationalist anti—immigration sweden democrat party — they focused a lot on gang crime, on immigration, integration, during the campaign, and really forced a lot of the other parties to focus on those issues as well, even the social democrats have got much tougher, promising harsher punishments and more police officers, for instance, as a key part of their campaign. the sweden democrats, those nationalists, they look

like they will now be the second largest party in this election, and that will be the first time in swedish history that that has happened, representing quite a political shake—up here. whether it is the left or the right bloc that ends up getting the mandate, well, the next government is not in for an easy ride — there is the whole global political situation, the ongoing war in ukraine, rising inflation, and energy prices going up. none of those issues are going anywhere, and as sweden heads into a long, unusually cold winter, we can see them perhaps even coming into sharper focus in the coming months. needless to say we will keep a close eye on the outcome of that in sweden. the spanish teenage tennis star carlos alcaraz has beaten norway's casper ruud to win the us open at flushing meadows in new york and become the world number one. the 19—year—old won in four sets. he's the youngest grand slam winner since 2005 and the youngest player ever to top

the global rankings. let's return to the passing of queen elizabeth. in malta, she is remembered as much in private memories as in formal ceremonies. she spent two years in the country, from 1949 to 1951, while prince philip was serving with the royal navy, and described it later as a very happy time. the couple were forced to return to england when king george vi became seriously ill. a year later, elizabeth was queen. our correspondent lucy williamson has been to visit their old home in the maltese capital, valletta. newsreel: although the royal flight to malta was delayed - by fog, the princess was able i to spend a part of her wedding anniversary with her husband. to malta, back then, she was princess elizabeth — not yet queen — a naval wife who could see her

husband's ship from the roof of their villa. they were, she said, some of the happiest days of her life. so this is the house where they used to live? yeah, this is it. her old home in valletta now being restored to recapture her story. the faded paint on the walls unchanged from when the couple lived here 70 years ago. so the bed stood here right across the centre. those are the connections to the local radio and to an internal bell, which used to ring whenever she needed something. this was a life of unimaginable freedom for the future queen elizabeth. and this was their private home. it was not a palace environment. shopkeepers reported that she was clumsy with money — she didn't actually know how to handle it, cos she wasn't used to it. but they had a good family time and she could

roam around freely. perhaps the most remarkable thing about this house is its location — its front door opening onto this ordinary city street. the building overlooked front and back by its neighbours. the proximity of the young princess elizabeth to the people of valetta still shapes how many maltese remember her. she was here as a young mother and she went to the hairdressers. she went to the cinema. she loved living in malta. so there's a sort of affinity between the queen and the maltese people. the maltese, we love her a lot. she feels like like a part of family. i live with us. she is normal. she was normal when she was in malta. - and her dress — they were amazing. every time she wear a dress, it was a different dress. it was very, very nice. for the queen to come and dance here...

balls at the phoenicia hotel were one of the couple's favourite places to dance. and here we have our visitors' book. her signature in the guestbook from that time reads simply "elizabeth". two years later, she returned to london and prepared to become queen. it was, said one relative, like putting a little bird back in a gilded cage. newsreel: the guests of honour, the princess and the duke. - remembered around the world as britain's longest—reigning monarch, as head of the commonwealth, as queen. to malta, she's simply elizabeth. lucy williamson, bbc news, malta. the dean of westminster abbey has confirmed that he will conduct the queen's funeral, which will be held on monday 19th of september. westminster abbey is where britain's kings and queens are crowned, and it's also where the queen married prince philip in 1947. the queen's faith was very important to her, as the head of state, and also supreme governor of the church of england.

our religion editor, aleem maqbool, has been looking at her faith. one of the hymns sung at the queen's coronation, starting a service today at the parish church of the royals, st martin—in—the fields, just one of many places of worship in which they've gathered across the country in remembrance. like a priest standing at the altar for the people before god, the queen held the aspirations, commitments and responsibilities of nation and commonwealth in her heart and mind. for 70 years, queen elizabeth was at the heart of nation and commonwealth. now she's at the heart of god. we'll meet again. what will have been remarked on in many of today's sermons is just how deep the queen's

own faith ran. elsewhere, the head of the catholic church in england and wales remembers a moment he saw that up close at a national service at st paul's cathedral. at a certain point in the ceremony, we were all asked to recite a long prayer which was printed out in the order of service. and i looked up and the queen had her eyes shut, and she was reciting this prayer by heart. and i thought, "there's a woman who prays, who probably prays every day." of course, there was a moment every year where we were given an insight into how much the queen's faith guided her, and that was in her christmas broadcasts. for me, the life ofjesus christ, the prince of peace, whose birth we celebrate today, is an inspiration and an anchor in my life. a role model of reconciliation and forgiveness, he stretched out his hands in love,

acceptance and healing. christ's example has taught me to seek to respect and value all people of whatever faith or none. i, charles iii... in the past, much was made of the comments of the then prince charles about wanting to be "defender of faiths". but the oath hasn't changed. king, defender of the faith, do faithfully... and neither has the desire to protect the practice of other faiths that his late mother clearly held dear. we knew her majesty's funeral would take place in westminster abbey, and now we know the man who will conduct it. he's had a meeting with the king over the order of service. we discussed the content, and as you would expect, with services being prepared on an occasion like this, we will be making some changes. so there's back and forth? there's back and forth, yes. it was interesting to hearjust

how distinctive a ceremony the funeral will be, partly because of precisely about we have been talking about, how important he queen's faith was to her. she had herfavourite hymns, herfavourite from the bible, and that to some extent will be reflected here on the 19th. back at st martin—in—the—fields, they ended with celebration of the accession of the king and what is, after all, a prayer — the national anthem. # god save the king...# aleem maqbool, bbc news. an awful lot has been said about the importance of her faith. as you can imagine, the story continues to dominate the headlines around the world so let's take a look at the newspapers. with me is our

reporter leigh milner. lets start with the front pages. they are all very similar. pages. they are all very similar-— pages. they are all very similar. . ,, , , similar. unsurprisingly, every sintle similar. unsurprisingly, every single newspaper, _ similar. unsurprisingly, every single newspaper, every - similar. unsurprisingly, every. single newspaper, every single tabloid leaving with the same story which is of course her majesty the queen. we start with the times, herjourney begins. if you just turn the page you see the tributes, the thousands of people lining the streets, unsurprisingly. one interesting thing i spotted here, more than three quarters of a million people are expected to descend on westminster to pay their respects with cues extending for up to five miles. just to put that into context it says that that will dwarf the 200,000 who saw the queen mother when she lay in state in 2002. what is more interesting, if we turn to the daily

telegraph, there is the same picture, the same iconic picture, the same iconic picture of the members of the royal company of archers, the sovereign's bodyguard in scotland, and if you look through it we have plenty more lovely pictures, all special editions of the queen but if you turn to page 11...i editions of the queen but if you turn to page 11. . .- editions of the queen but if you turn to page 11. .. you turn to page 11... i am all ears! keep — you turn to page 11... i am all ears! keep you _ you turn to page 11... i am all ears! keep you on _ you turn to page 11... i am all ears! keep you on your - you turn to page 11... i am all ears! keep you on your toes. | you turn to page 11... i am all. ears! keep you on your toes. it kee ts ears! keep you on your toes. it keeps me — ears! keep you on your toes. it keeps me awake. _ ears! keep you on your toes. it keeps me awake. we - ears! keep you on your toes. it keeps me awake. we have - ears! keep you on your toes. it keeps me awake. we have got| ears! keep you on your toes. it - keeps me awake. we have got one ofthe keeps me awake. we have got one of the most. _ keeps me awake. we have got one of the most. i _ keeps me awake. we have got one of the most, i would _ keeps me awake. we have got one of the most, i would say, - of the most, i would say, standout and unexpected images from what have been days. prince william and harry meeting the crowds together with their wives catherine and meghan. they were greeting people in windsor in a way that, well, couldn't really have been predicted last week when the sussexes returned to the uk. there are of course talks of feuds and unbridgeable differences between the couples but whether it is a temporary truth or the start of new beginnings, you can't really argue that this is a sign of

unity. you know, during which can only be a difficult time for any family.— can only be a difficult time for any family. that's right, and something _ for any family. that's right, and something highlighted | for any family. that's right, i and something highlighted in for any family. that's right, . and something highlighted in a few papers. it is also in the times, where it says william did not want to greet well—wishers without his brother, and you can see, again, very similar images and it is interesting because at windsor, the last time they saw huge crowds there for a royal occasion was the wedding of prince harry and meghan. now the duke and duchess of sussex popular according to royal sources it was in fact prince william who had extended the invitation to prince harry and meghan to go on this walkabout. at the end of the day it is prince william who has a duty to fulfil. $5 prince william who has a duty to fulfil. �* . ,. ., ., to fulfil. as we know, on the death of _ to fulfil. as we know, on the death of the _ to fulfil. as we know, on the death of the queen, - to fulfil. as we know, on the death of the queen, williamj death of the queen, william became heir to the throne and will be keenly aware of the roles he now has to fulfil. also he has a new and much more

important status than his brother. william is now the prince of wales, that name they both until yesterday used to call their father. both until yesterday used to call theirfather. that both until yesterday used to call their father. that must be quite strange, to be honest. but it is likely now that the king and camilla, now the queen consort, with william and catherine will now become the core group, almost a separate unit, compared to prince harry who is on a very different route at the moment, living with meghan and their young family in california with media ventures, charities, campaigns. they have to invent their own post—royal life, which is obviously still part of the royal family.— obviously still part of the royal family. there is some talk that in _ royal family. there is some talk that in the _ royal family. there is some talk that in the newspapers l talk that in the newspapers today. we have the guardian. so many of them have chosen this same image, haven't they, of the pallbearers carrying the coffin of queen elizabeth ii into the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh, where the coffin will remain

hello. sunday brought us some warm weather and some wet weather. and monday promises more of both. rain, which will be heavy across some parts of northern england and north wales. but for the south of the uk, some real warmth — temperatures into the middle 20s celsius. that warm air being pushed northwards by this low churning around to the southwest of europe. this low bringing outbreaks of rain for some of us. and it will be to the south of those rain bands that we do get to tap into some of that really warm air — especially across the south and east of england. 1a, 15, 16 degrees as we start monday morning — a very mild start for pretty much all parts of the uk. cloud and various bands of rain across parts

of southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england, north wales. it'll be through greater manchester, lancashire, merseyside, north wales where we see the heaviest rain, which could cause some localised flooding and travel disruption. to the north of that, sunny spells, one or two showers, brisk winds, temperatures of 11! to 18 degrees. to the south of those various bands of cloud and rain, some real warmth — 21! to 26 degrees. a lot of dry weather, potentially just one or two showers. now, during monday night, we push the cloud and a little bit of rain southwards, and that will tend to push the warm air southwards, as well. so 19 degrees for the channel islands first thing on tuesday morning. compare that with just eight there in newcastle. a much cooler, fresherfeel across many parts of the uk. and then into tuesday, still cloud and maybe some patchy rain in the south of england — more especially the channel islands. but elsewhere, good spells of sunshine, northerly winds starting to develop so there will be a cooler, fresherfeel — 15 to 22 degrees. those temperatures still quite

respectable for mid—september. now, as we head into wednesday, it may be that this frontal system pushes northwards, introducing some rain for the channel islands and perhaps the south of england — uncertainty about that. but, broadly speaking, we'll be watching high pressure build from the west through this week, and that will feed us northerly winds and, actually, we'll start to tap into some really rather chilly air. so for the end of the week, lower temperatures by day, potentially some quite chilly nights. but aside from a few showers, it will be dry.

you good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay in edinburgh where the queen is lying at rest and sally nugent at buckingham palace. our headlines today. people in edinburgh will be the first members of the public to view the coffin today, as scotland says its final farewell. mourners are told to expect lengthy queues to see the queen lying in state here in london. the event begins on wednesday night at westminster hall, and the public will file past day and night. king charles will make his first
