what do you think of the new king? i've got mixed views upon the king. i think he's got big shoes to fill. i'm here because it's a historical moment for all british citizens or people who live here, so i feel it's very important because it's a big part, she was a big part of our history. why are you here today? because i am a proud patriot of my own country. the monarchy holds a place to hold tradition, you know what i mean, and pride that i feel has gone out the window. there's not a lot of patriots left in britain and scotland any more. what you think of the new king? i think he will be a great king. i hope he brings some more modern things to the royal family, things about the environment, what the king represents and what he has been doing as a prince, i'd like him to bring that up with the royal family. and i look forward to seeing his reign. in 1953, when the queen first came here as monarch, the streets were packed. they are thronged again today. there is clear support for elizabeth here, but what does this tell us

about the future of this country? edinburgh, queen elizabeth's northern capital, prepares . to greet her majesty. from the start, the queen clearly felt a deep affinity for scotland and its place in the uk. at her silverjubilee in 1977, she publicly stressed what she called the benefits of union. but in recent times, support for independence has surged. if the union with scotland in particular, but also the united kingdom as we know it is to be preserved, then the monarch has a role to play, the monarch will obviously want to try and maintain what has been there for centuries. how does support for the monarchy in scotland break down by party? yes, so there's clear differences.

if you are talking to people who tend to support the conservative party, support is in the high 70s. if you're talking to people who support the liberal democrats and labour, it is in the 605. but if you're talking to people who support the snp, then support is much lower, in the high 20s. and yet the snp is in favour of the monarchy, even if they achieve an independent scotland? yes, there is a distinction between what the party leadership has said and what supporters of independence actually want. there, you find more tepid support for the monarchy. not here, though, not tonight, as thousands queued to file past the queen's offin. people are saying, you could have watched it at home in comfort, on the television, and we could have. but this is history and we will never do this again. we are wearing our tartan. this is a very emotional time. she was quite an amazing lady. we felt as though we knew her,

even though we didn't. very sorry for you, your majesty. and so, as her son the king warns the people of her comfort. ——and so, as her son the king mourns the people offer comfort. james cook, bbc news at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh. ukraine says it's retaken as many as 20 towns and villages in the east of the country in the space of the last 2a hours, with russian troops in retreat. president putin's tactics have been criticised by one of the leading military commanders fighting on the ground. officially the kremlin says its forces are "regrouping", not retreating. this was the situation just a week ago with russia still in control of much of the east of the country, but this latest mapping in the last 2a hours, shows significant gains to the east and as far south as izyum. 0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse sent this report from kyiv.

russian ambitions once again abandoned. its pro—war symbol, a familiar calling card. shells used to flatten towns still in their boxes. moscow is calling this a regrouping but all signs point to a hasty retreat. kyiv is claiming to have taken back all of the kharkiv region. even russian officials admit to being outnumbered by 8—1 here. "izyum was, is, and always will be ukraine's," says this soldier. this is territory which russia fought hard to take. lost in the space of days. translation: we have been waiting for them almost half a year _ and we are so happy. whenever russia is frustrated in this war, it responds.

this time accused of striking civilian targets like this power station. leaving people in kharkiv stuck on the metro from the resulting loss of power. ukraine is pushing on more than one front. that has risk but it is enough to worry one of putin's biggest allies, the chechen leader ramzan kadyrov. "if changes are not made," he said in an online post, "i will be forced to go to the country's leadership." this is the most significant russian withdrawal since they pulled out from kyiv in late march. the human costs for both countries remains huge and on whether it is a price worth paying, the majority of ukrainians feel there is no choice. this is about survival. and the idea of making any concessions to russia remains unfathomable. the kremlin anticipated taking ukraine in a matter of days.

201 of them later, it's going backwards. james waterhouse, bbc news, in kyiv. mason clarkjoins me now. he is the russia team lead at the institute for the study of war, a think tank in washington, dc. thanks for coming on the programme. what is your assessment of these advances? , , . ., , advances? this is certainly, as the revious advances? this is certainly, as the previous correspondence - advances? this is certainly, as the previous correspondence said, - advances? this is certainly, as the previous correspondence said, the most significant ukrainian victory of the war since the end of the battle of kyiv in april and arguably more devastating for the russian military as this was a complete rout of russian forces, this was not a controlled withdrawal as russia claims. they have left a lot of equipment behind and had to move away quickly in the face of very effective ukrainian counterattacks with the support of western

equipment. how has ukraine managed to pull this off? in large part, it has been the provision of various western equipment, long—range artillery and other weapons such as that but it has simply been a brilliant designed military campaign, they were able to gain surprise in the region and gain an advantage, with simultaneous operations in case on which drew away large numbers of units. what away large numbers of units. what ou make away large numbers of units. what you make of _ away large numbers of units. what you make of the _ away large numbers of units. what you make of the state _ away large numbers of units. what you make of the state of _ away large numbers of units. what you make of the state of the russian fighting forces? it is you make of the state of the russian fighting forces?— fighting forces? it is quite demoralised, _ fighting forces? it is quite demoralised, we - fighting forces? it is quite demoralised, we are - fighting forces? it is quite l demoralised, we are seeing dissension in the ranks, putting not looking —— listening to his offices. all of the forces in the area have been put under the command of a control in the east. i won't say demoralisation is becoming endemic but it is spreading to other units

direct threat to the ability of the kremlin to continue the war and it will likely drag on into 2023, although ukraine is certainly gathering the initiative and the upper hand. pare gathering the initiative and the upper hand-— upper hand. are these recent advances _ upper hand. are these recent advances ones _ upper hand. are these recent advances ones you _ upper hand. are these recent advances ones you cant - upper hand. are these recent advances ones you cant beat| upper hand. are these recent i advances ones you cant beat -- upper hand. are these recent - advances ones you cant beat -- see advances ones you cant beat —— see being held and used as a launch pad to go further? i being held and used as a launch pad to go further?— to go further? i think they can, certainly ukrainian _ to go further? i think they can, certainly ukrainian forces - to go further? i think they can, certainly ukrainian forces will l to go further? i think they can, - certainly ukrainian forces will need more operations to retake captured territory in the south as well as eastern ukraine but i don't see the russians been able to muster a counterattack anytime soon and this is a strong victory for ukrainian forces. . ~' , ., , is a strong victory for ukrainian forces. ., ~ , ., , . returning to our coverage of the death of queen elizabeth, we return to her role as head of state in australia. the commonwealth nation will hold a national day of mourning and a public holiday three days after her funeral. crowds have gathered to mark his ascent to the throne and to remember the queen,

who visited australia 16 times during her 70 year reign. her first trip was in 1954 and made history as the very first visit of a reigning monarch on australian soil. an estimated 8.8 million people took to the streets to see her. i'm joined now by phillip benwell, the national chair of the australian monarchist league, in sydney. thanks so much for coming on the programme. thanks so much for coming on the programme-— thanks so much for coming on the rouramme. . ~ ~ ., ., programme. thank you. what do you make of the — programme. thank you. what do you make of the way _ programme. thank you. what do you make of the way australia _ programme. thank you. what do you make of the way australia is - programme. thank you. what do you make of the way australia is marking j make of the way australia is marking the event here?— make of the way australia is marking the event here? well, our government and our state — the event here? well, our government and our state governments, _ the event here? well, our government and our state governments, our - and our state governments, our federal governments and the people themselves have come out to mourn themselves have come out to mourn the loss of the queen, because the queen is also the queen of australia, and very few people have ever seen the events that heart now taking place, and coming out to mourn the queen and also play a part

funeral next monday. thousands of people lined the streets as her coffin was taken from the palace of holyroodhouse up the royal mile to st giles' cathedral, for a service of thanksgiving, honouring her life. king charles iii led the royal family in solemn procession behind his mother's coffin.king charles iii, princess anne, prince edward, prince andrew stood vigil by queen elizabeth ii's coffin in st giles' cathedral in edinburgh. the queen will now lie at rest in st giles' cathedral for 24 hours before being flown down to london tomorrow evening. and queen elizabeth is now lying at rest in the cathedral for 24 hours, and these are pictures right now

from inside in edinburgh. and you can see they're a steady stream of people coming in to pay their respects in their own way. this is bbc news. hello again. monday brought us some large temperature contrasts across the uk. we had cool northwesterly winds dragging some chillier air into northern scotland, but warmerair coming up from france, boosting the temperatures across southern parts of both england and wales. and the warmest spot was actually london — we had temperatures reach as high as 27 celsius in the sunshine here. we also had some sunshine in shetland, but it was a cooler kind of day — temperatures reached around 14 celsius through the course of the afternoon. and between the cool air in the north and that warmer air in the south, we had a weather front bringing some rain on and off for much of the day across northwest england and north wales. now that weather front continues to slide southwards, where it becomes slow—moving, so a lot of cloud across southern

portions of the uk with a few patches of light rain and drizzle, a bit misty, a bit of fog over the hills and coasts, too. but mild in the south — otherwise, colder air spreading across scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, too. now, for tuesday, this weatherfront will still be with us across the far south of england. the closer you are to the south coast, the more likely you are to see rain at some point during the day. but through the day, this rain band will push northwards — the question mark is how far north it gets. it could get as far north as cardiff, say, or it could just stay to the south. now, away from that, north wales, across much of the midlands, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, a fine day with spells of sunshine. just a few showers for the northwest of scotland, temperatures typically high teens to low 20s. there is still the threat of a little rain from the same weather front wednesday morning, but that will then clear out of the way. and again, the bulk of the uk having another fine day with sunny spells. again, a few showers here and there, particularly across the northwest

of scotland, where it will start to turn a little bit cooler — 17 for glasgow and belfast, still into the low 20s further south across england and wales. some slightly stronger north—northwesterly winds with us for thursday, bringing more widespread showers across scotland, and a few running down the north sea coasts of england, as well. those winds dragging some cooler air, sojust 13 celsius in aberdeen on thursday. temperatures dropping a bit further south, generally into the teens rather than the low 20s. but there will still be lots of dry weather through friday and into the weekend. a tendency again for it to turn just a little bit cooler and fresher, with temperatures in manchester around 15 celsius or so. that's your latest weather.

this is bbc news, the headlines... queen elizabeth's coffin is at rest in st giles' cathedral in edinburgh and mourners are filing past, paying their respects. king charles iii, along with his sister and brothers, have held a vigil by its side. earlier, thousands of people lined the streets as the queen's coffin was taken from the palace of holyroodhouse to st giles' cathedral, for a service of thanksgiving. king charles led the royal family in solemn procession behind his mother's coffin. the queen's coffin be flown from edinburgh to london on tuesday. it will travel to buckingham palace, where it will be met by king charles and camilla, queen consort. in other news — the ukrainian president says his forces have recaptured nearly 6,000 square

kilometres of territory from russia since beginning their counter—offensive earlier this month. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are victoria howard, royal commentator and editor of the crown chronicles and sarah hewson, royal editor at talk tv. we will say hello to both and just a moment, but first, let's take a look at those front pages. the daily telegraph which leads with the headline "guard of honour" and describes how the king and his siblings stood vigil over the queen's coffin in edinburgh this evening. the same picture of the royals at st giles' cathedral dominates the front page of the express.

the i takes the same image but focuses on the king, and notes that mourners are already beginning to queue in westminster to see the queen lie in state. the metro writes simply "the king's vigil". a different picture is used on the front page of the times — and shows some of the thousands of people who lined edinburgh's royal mile. the financial times leads with the "royal farewell in scotland," but also looks forward to the chancellor's mini—budget next week and suggests tax cuts are on the cards. that striking image of the king that has featured on so many of tomorrow's front pages is again shown by the daily mail. good evening to you both, thanks so much forjoining us. we start with the picture of the daily mail — we could've picked almost any of the front pages, they all have the same picture. the picture editors democrat editors all had the same

idea and it's a striking image, you can see why. sarah, kick us off. this on the front page of so many of the newspapers. the king there, his head bowed, having moved in solemn procession to the st giles' cathedral with his siblings, to stand guard around their mother's often, as she is draped in the royal standard of scotland, the crown of scotland across her coffin, and her four children and their standing guard. the vigil of the princes, a tradition that dates back not as long as some of the ceremonies we see in the past few days, but back to the 1930s in the death of george v. guarding their mother standing there in sombre silence. and you can only imagine what must�*ve been going through their minds at that time. and i wonder if there's been any

time for private grief for the king, but standing there in silence, the thoughts, the time and space that he must had then to contemplate what has happened, but also what is ahead of him must�*ve been quite overwhelming. of him must've been quite overwhelming.— of him must've been quite overwhelming. of him must've been quite overwhelmina. ,. , , , overwhelming. the schedule is pretty demandinu overwhelming. the schedule is pretty demanding of— overwhelming. the schedule is pretty demanding of him, _ overwhelming. the schedule is pretty demanding of him, as _ overwhelming. the schedule is pretty demanding of him, as you _ overwhelming. the schedule is pretty demanding of him, as you rightly - demanding of him, as you rightly pointed out. going to the front page of the i, it's the same image. of course this event happened relatively late on this evening, and of course the papers are in the news business so they will want to get those mystery —— most recent images on the front pages. but there was something so striking about the image. sarah mentioned the crown there, and it is so poignantly, perfectly positioned above the king's head, it's a provocative image, isn't it? it king's head, it's a provocative image, isn't it?— king's head, it's a provocative image, isn't it? it is, and as you sa , image, isn't it? it is, and as you say. this— image, isn't it? it is, and as you say. this is— image, isn't it? it is, and as you say. this is part _ image, isn't it? it is, and as you say, this is part of _ image, isn't it? it is, and as you say, this is part of the _ say, this is part of the crown jewels— say, this is part of the crown jewels of— say, this is part of the crown jewels of scotland, and they are older— jewels of scotland, and they are older than the english crown jewels, they date _ older than the english crown jewels, they date back to 1540. that link to

members of the royal family would not be able to wear uniforms for any of the ceremonial events, which we've seen one of today. so the duke of york they are not wearing uniforms, but wearing his medals on his coat. that also plays for prince harry, he will not wear melter uniform now as a non—working royal. but there is an exception for the duke of york, when the next vigil takes place, and there is expected to be another vigil potentially on friday evening and westminster hall ljy friday evening and westminster hall by the queen's children again. and on that occasion, it's been decided the duke of york will be able to wear military uniform as a sign of his respect for his mother, we are told. i his respect for his mother, we are told. , ., , ., his respect for his mother, we are told. , ., i. ~ ., told. i should let you know we are all seeinu told. i should let you know we are all seeing life _ told. i should let you know we are all seeing life pictures _ told. i should let you know we are all seeing life pictures from - all seeing life pictures from edinburgh and you can see people still passing through to pay their respects, as we've been seeing over the last few hours. victoria, let's go to the front page of the daily

financial times goes on here is that kwasi kwarteng will say to the treasury, "you've got to focus entirely on growth here to get us out of this trouble." entirely on growth here to get us out of this trouble. "— entirely on growth here to get us out of this trouble. " out of this trouble." yes, and that massive energy — out of this trouble." yes, and that massive energy statement - out of this trouble." yes, and that massive energy statement we - out of this trouble." yes, and thatj massive energy statement we had out of this trouble." yes, and that - massive energy statement we had from liz truss last week, £150 billion energy cap announcement — during that statement, we saw the notes being passed to her telling her the queen was gravely ill. and since then, that announcement has of course been completely overshadowed. the government has been paralysed by the death of the queen and this process of morning. but there is a really urgent issue to attend to here with the energy price cap, and there will be a physical event — not a budget, that would require scrutiny by the office for budgetary responsibility, but it's a mini budget essentially, and we expect that to come potentially thursday or friday of next week and we will be hearing from the new chancellor

then. but the ft tells us he's told treasury officials they need to switch their focus entirely to growth. so that means tax cuts, £30 billion a year of tax cuts, reversing the national insurance rise, not increasing corporation tax for example, and that's on top of the £150 billion energy price cap. so that will mean it will be paid for out of borrowing. we know it rishi sunak thinks about that because that was one of the issues that dominated the entire summer with the leadership campaign. he described as being irresponsible in that liz truss was having her cake and eating it. well we will hear a lot more detail, and looking out for more detail in particular will be businesses, for example, and the public sector, what is the energy price cap mean for them, and what is there for them in this fiscal event?

interesting, and it's the same story on the front page of the guardian. sarah, you spelled things out so beautifully, but victoria, let's look briefly here because there headline is, "pm under pressure to reveal details of energy crisis plan." alluding to what we were talking about, saying that it's not been getting that media scrutiny and ordinarily would.— ordinarily would. people care about the queen's — ordinarily would. people care about the queen's passing, _ ordinarily would. people care about the queen's passing, it's _ ordinarily would. people care about the queen's passing, it's an - the queen's passing, it's an historic— the queen's passing, it's an historic event for the nation in such— historic event for the nation in such a — historic event for the nation in such a seismic shift from us to move from one _ such a seismic shift from us to move from one reign to another. but it's come at _ from one reign to another. but it's come at a — from one reign to another. but it's come at a new time when the new prime _ come at a new time when the new prime minister, just days into her role, _ prime minister, just days into her role, with— prime minister, just days into her role, with winter approaching, people — role, with winter approaching, people really need to know what'll be happening and how they can find support— be happening and how they can find support if_ be happening and how they can find support if they need it. because this isn't— support if they need it. because this isn'tjust for the lowest income _ this isn'tjust for the lowest income households being affected, this is— income households being affected, this is households up and down the country— this is households up and down the country of— this is households up and down the country of all income levels that will really — country of all income levels that will really struggle and have concerns about paying their bills

will be open for hours to come as plenty more people will be filing through. just to explain to people watching round the world who have justjoined us, we are in the middle of a newspaper review looking at all the front pages. with me are victoria and sarah — let's go back to the coverage we've been seeing today. sarah, let's pick up on some of those points you are mentioning about the challenges to come in london, the policing operation. let's start there — it is a daunting challenge ahead. let's start there - it is a daunting challenge ahead.— let's start there - it is a daunting challenge ahead. yes, and there are a whole number _ challenge ahead. yes, and there are a whole number of _ challenge ahead. yes, and there are a whole number of different - challenge ahead. yes, and there are a whole number of different figures| a whole number of different figures being bandied about regarding how many people are expected in london. the simple answer is nobody knows, anywhere between 500000 and 1 million. and as for the cues, up to 30 hours, people are being told that they will need to queue for many, many hours, sometimes overnight. some people have already started queuing, making sure they get their

spot to view the queen's often as she lies in state there. she will be lying in state for four full days there, and in that time we expect members of herfamily there, and in that time we expect members of her family to conduct a vigil similar to what we have seen this evening in edinburgh, at st giles' cathedral. but in terms of the policing operation and in terms of what this means for london, for the capital — it will be full, we've been told, meaning people have been told to stay at home, work from home if you can, commuting will be difficult, getting around will be difficult. and those who are planning to come have been told to make sure you bring food, drinks, battery chargers for your phones, you could be in those cues for a very long time. don't bring young children because it will be far too much for them and far too long a wait to. . ., ., ,., much for them and far too long a wait to. . ., ., , .,, wait to. victoria, some people have been making _ wait to. victoria, some people have been making the _ wait to. victoria, some people have been making the point _ wait to. victoria, some people have been making the point online - wait to. victoria, some people have been making the point online today| been making the point online today that this isn't necessarily people who are huge fans of the monarchy

of those is james — he's from salisbury, he met the queen in belize. this photo shows him talking to the queen when he was a major in the army in 1994. the queen was recovering after falling from a horse — you can see her arm is in a sling. but james says you'd never have known, given how cheerful she was and how happy she was to talk. next, let's discuss this with david williams. he was a schoolboy rugby player when he met the queen, and he's with us now. hi, david, thanks for making time for us. tell us more about this. no, thank you very much. yeah, so i met the queen back in 2002, and this is when she was touring the country on her goldenjubilee. and this year kind of happened to coincide with my school, the king's school and macclesfield also celebrating it was celebrating its quincentennial year. it was founded in 1502.

and at this time, various pupils were invited to talk to the queen about kind of various aspects of school life. and why it's such a good memory for me is because my friend and myself, who who's also in that picture, were given the opportunity to talk to the queen about our recent rugby tour to canada. and i can't really remember too much of the discussion, other than it was probably more about kind of british columbia and vancouver itself rather than the the finer points of what goes on in the front row. but what i can say is she made two very nervous 13—year—olds feel kind of very comfortable in their presence and that we generally have been listened to. what i was going to ask you about the nerves — presumably you are feeling those at the moment arrived? yes, definitely. you know, like i said, i can't really remember too much about, you know, what was said, other than kind of that, we were nervous at the time. and what have your emotions been in the last few days after the news of her death came through?

yeah, it's been kind of quite interesting, really, i think kind of some of the tributes that have been kind of really quite good. i think one of the ones that particularly stands out to me is a quote from sir keir starmer. and i think his line went something like, "her loss, or the queen's death is losing one of the lowest points in britain." and i think why, in essence, it's so important because he's not talking about the superlatives. what he's talking about is a commonality or kind of a reference point that we all had to her. and she wasn'tjust kind of a transient political figure or sportsperson. she's someone it's kind of intergenerational. people from all walks of life, ages, and backgrounds have some kind of memory of her. yeah, she was a constant in many people's lives, wasn't she? david, thank you very much indeed for speaking with us. and a theme that's coming out time and again in people's stories of the queen is her thoughtfulness. stephanie flynn, from aberdeen, says herfather was a minister

and was invited by the queen to preach at balmoral. she says his favourite memory was being given a lift back to the palace by the queen. she says after a barbecue, the queen opened the door of the land rover and patted the seat next to her and told him to "hop in" so she could drive him back. he said he was treated like royalty for not being royal. she was fun, curious, and kind during that weekend. and another tribute we received was sent from leigh, in southeast london — because nearly 20 years ago she was chosen to present a bouquet to the queen. and you were saying you had to curtsey for the first time. that's obviously stayed with you. thanks for being with us. what else can you remember of meeting her? it was a lovely occasion. i went down to windsor with all my colleagues from the london office, london offices, and we were all standing around waiting for the unveiling of the statue. and she unveiled the statue, and then it was up to me

to then to go to go forward and present her with the bouquet, that i was holding and remembering to curtsey and hoping that i'd done it correctly. well, i'm sure you did. and i can see in the background of that photo that it was a it was a big gathering. there were a lot of people there. did you feel like the queen knew exactly who you were? because, after all, she's meeting an awful lot of people. yes, she had been briefed on who i was, and she was able to relate that back to me. she knew my name, she knew myjob at the crown estate and and how long i'd been there, as well. so yes, so it was we we exchanged a lovely couple of words, yes. and were you nervous about getting the right flowers for her? i didn't have to buy the flowers. so that was quite good. i was just given the bouquet, yes. and after she had spoken to you, i wondered how much that stayed with you? presumably all these years on, the memories have remained crystal clear? yes, i mean, it was a lovely occasion for myself

and my colleagues. we were all honoured to be there. and it was just a lovely day. and i think we've all remembered it. and on occasions like the goldenjubilee, which was what the statue was for, and then the platinum jubilee, it sort of brings it back to you, you know, through the years. and then unfortunately now, we're remembering it in a slightly different circumstance. but it's a memory that many people share of spending time with her. even if it was just a few minutes like i did. jackie, thank you. and yes, you're right, amongst the grief, there's also an awful lot of fondness for these moments when people like you have met the queen. thank you very much indeed for speaking to us. and as well as photos and stories, many people have sent their tributes, drawings. they include lynn hewitt, from middlesbrough. she says the queen showed dignity and loyalty and brought calmness, composure, and love. through the bbc news website, bbc.com/news.

hello again. monday brought us some large temperature contrasts across the uk. we had cool northwesterly winds dragging some chillier air into northern scotland, but warmerair coming up from france, boosting the temperatures across southern parts of both england and wales. and the warmest spot was actually london — we had temperatures reach as high as 27 celsius in the sunshine here. we also had some sunshine in shetland, but it was a cooler kind of day — temperatures reached around 14 celsius through the course of the afternoon. and between the cool air in the north and that warmer air in the south, we had a weather front bringing some rain on and off for much of the day across northwest england and north wales. now that weather front continues to slide southwards,

where it becomes slow—moving, so a lot of cloud across southern portions of the uk with a few patches of light rain and drizzle, a bit misty, a bit of fog over the hills and coasts, too. but mild in the south — otherwise, colder air spreading across scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, too. now, for tuesday, this weatherfront will still be with us across the far south of england. the closer you are to the south coast, the more likely you are to see rain at some point during the day. but through the day, this rain band will push northwards — the question mark is how far north it gets. it could get as far north as cardiff, say, or it could just stay to the south. now, away from that, north wales, across much of the midlands, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, a fine day with spells of sunshine. just a few showers for the northwest of scotland, temperatures typically high teens to low 20s. there is still the threat of a little rain from the same weather front wednesday morning, but that will then clear out of the way. and again, the bulk of the uk having another fine day with sunny spells. again, a few showers here and there, particularly across the northwest of scotland, where it will start to turn a little bit cooler — 17 for glasgow and belfast,

still into the low 20s further south across england and wales. some slightly stronger north—northwesterly winds with us for thursday, bringing more widespread showers across scotland, and a few running down the north sea coasts of england, as well. those winds dragging some cooler air, sojust 13 celsius in aberdeen on thursday. temperatures dropping a bit further south, generally into the teens rather than the low 20s. but here will still be lots of dry weather through friday and into the weekend. a tendency again for it to turn just a little bit cooler and fresher, with temperatures in manchester around 15 celsius or so. that's your latest weather.

edinburgh, belfast and cardiff is telling it suggests heart of his concerns about the early decades of his late mothers rain were characterised by the long, slow contraction of british imperial power around the world. he will be led to the world. he will be led to the possibility that his own rain can be defined by the continuation of that process here in the eventual dissolution of the united kingdom itself. but all that is for another day. a bearer party of the royal regiment of scotland brought the queen's coffin from holyroodhouse back into public view. but all that is for another day. a bearer party of the royal regiment of scotland brought the queen's coffin from holyroodhouse but all that is for another day. for today, the eyes of the world intrude briefly an insult was shorted

achievements and their indomitable spirit, and it was the greatest comfort for her to know in turn the true affection in which she was held. the knowledge of that deep and abiding bond must be to us a solace, as we mourn the end of a life of incomparable service. tonight, the king, his sister and brothers stood in silent vigil at their mother's coffin. in life, queen elizabeth came to embody that deep and abiding bond the king evoked, the bond of a shared history in life, queen elizabeth came to embody that deep and abiding

bond of a shared history and a common identity across the united kingdom. what will remain of that legacy when this period of mourning is over and she recedes into the middle distance of our collective memory? that question will be at the heart of the new reign that began when she died. allan little, bbc news, edinburgh. earlier on monday king charles visited the uk parliament since taking the throne along with the king concert the king heard messages of condolence from both houses in the age at west minister halls before delivering his response. 0ur delivering his response. our world correspondent nicholas witchel reports on the kings visit to parliament. two west minister hall the ancient building which is been at the centre of so much british history for 1000 years. the setting over the century for a moment of national significance. for celebration and sorrow. a setting today for britain's parliamentarians from

east and as far south as izyum. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse sent this report from kyiv. warcan be war can be both symbolic and significant. and today was just that. russian ambitions once again abandoned. moscow calls this a regrouping. it's more like a retreat and a quick one. kyiv is claiming to have taken back almost all of the kharkiv region. even russian officials admit to being outnumbered by eight to one, here. "izyum was, is and always will be ukraine", says this soldier. this is territory which russia fought hard to take, lost in the space of days. translation: we met them with tears in our eyes. - we could not imagine that they would come so unexpectedly, but we have

been waiting for them almost half a year, and we are so happy. whenever russia is frustrated, it responds. this time, accused of striking civilian targets. a major power station, reduced to this... ..causing trains to stop working on kharkiv�*s metro. forsome, much more was lost than just power. ukraine is pushing on more than one front. that has risks but it is enough to worry one of putin's biggest allies, chechen leader ramzan kadyrov. "if changes are not made," he said in an online post, "i will be forced to go to the country's leadership." this is the most significant russian withdrawal since they pulled out from kyiv in late march. the human costs for both countries remains huge

and on whether it is a price worth paying, the majority of ukrainians feel there is no choice. this is about survival, and the idea of making any concessions to russia remains unfathomable. the kremlin anticipated taking ukraine in a matter of days. 201 of them later, it is going backwards. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. mason clarkjoins me now, he is the russia team lead at the institute for the study of war, a think tank, in washington, dc. this is certainly as their previous correspondent said the most significant ukrainian victory of the war since the end of the batterer of kyiv in late march and early april. arguably even more devastating for the russian military as this was a complete rout of russian forces, this was not a controlled withdrawal as a russian military of defence or claiming. russian forces of a

lot of equipment behind and had to move around quickly in the face of very effective and well designed ukrainian counterattacks with the set limit help of western equipment. how has ukraine managed to pull this off? in large part it has been the provision of various western equipment, large range of artillery and other weapons such as that. but it's been simply a brilliant design military campaign. they were able to gain a surprise in the region and take advantage of these simultaneous operations by ukrainian forces in the south of the country near kherson which drew a large number of russian units. it left the front lines week around kharkiv.- left the front lines week around kharkiv. what do you make of the _ around kharkiv. what do you make of the state _ around kharkiv. what do you make of the state of- around kharkiv. what do you make of the state of the - make of the state of the russian fighting forces at the moment? �* , ., ., , moment? it's quite demoralised. we are seeing — moment? it's quite demoralised. we are seeing a _ moment? it's quite demoralised. we are seeing a number- moment? it's quite demoralised. we are seeing a number of- we are seeing a number of reports of dissension in the ranks who did not listening to his officers and the commander of the russian forces around kharkiv has been replaced and all of the forces that were in that area are put under control

of the commander in the east. demoralisation is certainly, i won't say it's become endemic in the russian military but is spreading to other units. particularly, amongst varying nationalistic brushes that support the war have been vocal in criticising what led to this massive defeat and questioning the competence of their officers, which we have not seen to the scale today. so questioning of officers is significant. what about the wider public coverage in russia itself? we haven't seen a great deal of criticism of the war or as they call it, special military operation up until this point. military operation up until this point-— military operation up until this point. that's correct. i don't think— this point. that's correct. i don't think this _ this point. that's correct. i don't think this is - this point. that's correct. i don't think this is going . this point. that's correct. i don't think this is going to | don't think this is going to lead into a wider shift and the kremlin has been able to keep this relatively under control, maintained if not support italy's public acceptance of the special military operation and avoided calling for mobilisation which would cause a greater strain on the russian population. while this may to

this. ..his arm around the royal waist. the gatherings weren't always friendly. there have been these protests and i think they will continue from now on, until we get rid of the monarchy. republicans have long rejected a foreign sovereign being their head of state. but when the issue was put to the people in 1999 in a referendum, australians chose to stick with the queen and the no vote won. leading the republican side was malcolm turnbull, who later became prime minister. i have no doubt there will be another referendum. i said the next time we vote on this will not be before the end of the queen's reign, ok? the queen's reign has ended, but that doesn't mean there'll be a referendum next week or next year. the case for a republic in australia has got nothing to do with the personality of the monarch. the issue is simply, do you think our head of state should be an australian citizen or the monarch of another country?

that's the question. during her tours, the queen met first nations people as well as elders. while many indigenous australians have mourned her death, others spoke of the trauma of colonisation and the painful legacy of the crown. the queen's final visit to australia was in 2011 just after floods and a cyclone hit queensland. we are here to play tribute to the resilience and courage of queenslanders who bravely picked up their lives and rebuilt them after a period of great adversity. australia will remember the queen not only as the much—respected and admired monarch and head of state, but also as a true friend of the country and its people. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. here in the uk let's remind ourselves about what's happening today. people in

the rain towards the south coast of england. it could push as far north as, say, cardiff. away from these southern areas, though, a lot of dry weather with sunshine. just a few showers for the north west of scotland, and our temperatures around 18—20 celsius. that's your latest weather.

this is bbc news, the headlines. queen elizabeth ii has been rendered in a service of prayer and reflection at st giles' cathedral in the scottish capital, edinburgh. crowds earlier packed the streets to watch the hearst travel up the royal mile in a procession led by king charles and his siblings. the queen's children stood vigil around her coffin, which is lying in rest inside the cathedral. her body will lie in rest at saint giles until it's flown to london on tuesday. in other news, president volodymyr zelensky has said ukrainian forces of captured nearly 6000 km of territory since russia since beginning their counteroffensive earlier this month. this is bbc news. down bbc news, a look back at the

main events of the day here in the uk. this will be a moment of emotion that's been quite a bit of smiling today, despite the nature of the occasion that is an atmosphere of greatjoy, really, the thanksgiving for the queen's life, which is the point of the service at saint giles. now we see the coffin of her late majesty. —— her late majesty.

god save the king plays the bear party from the real regiment of scotland —— bearer party. the in the uniform of a field marshal in the scottish army. a full ceremonial uniform.

the bearer party moves away. the bearer party moves away. the quiet has descended on the palace of holyroodhouse. because it is the moment that the palace says farewell to queen elizabeth ii. the queen's bodyguard, as it now is, forms up bodyguard, as it now is, forms up on each side of the house. —— king's bodyguard. the real company of arches. the high constables of hollyrood in their places under the common 9991 their places under the common egg, always hear when the sovereign is in residence.

soon slowly the procession will make its way up the royal mile to st giles'. through those crowds, who will be remembered, who will be remembering at the site of the hearse. in the late queen's coffin. the sombre nature of this occasion. for all the feeling of thanksgiving and the sense of happiness about the city looking its best and preparing to do its former sovereign proud, now the true nature of this occasion is revealed to everyone, and they are reminded why we're here.

his majesty the king, his sister, the princess royal, in uniform with an admiral. the duke of york, his brother, not wearing a military uniform on this occasion because he is no longer a working royal, but will wear a uniform at the vigil at westminster in respect of the queen, but not on the other occasions. and the earl of wessex, the duke of york, has the title. the queen's for children will walk with the house.

the procession begins at a stately pace across the forecourt of the palace. which has seen so much royal history and the years. the start of a procession that will take us right through the state and westminster hall, to the funeral itself next monday. and the queen's departure from london for windsor, and internment in st. george's chapel.

when the king and the queen consort drove down this road only an hour and a half or so ago, there was quite a bit of smiling and waving. that has gone. this is now a procession of deep solemnity. in remembrance.

slowly with great dignity, the house comes up the hill. and at each point, these crowds who have been waiting here for many hours see for the first time the coffin carrying the late queen. it's as if these streets are filled again, as they always are during the festival weeks. but for a very different purpose, with a different demeanour, and with quite a different sound. voices are lowered, some heads are bowed.

and there is, in the streets of the scottish capital today, an atmosphere of abiding respect and gratitude. which, as the guns sound from the rampart, is the spirit of this afternoon's proceedings. it is a service of thanksgiving and reflection. and that is the feeling of thanksgiving that the citizenry of edinburgh and all those who've come from far and wide, and abroad are representing today and these ancient streets.

the heralds, magnificent in their tunics, the heralds, magnificent in theirtunics, or the heralds, magnificent in their tunics, or by the west door. the different heralds of arms, the falkland purse even extraordinary, they must go a time with great historical relevance in scotland. and the

declaring the proclamation yesterday at the cross. a solemn moment as her late majesty is born into st giles' cathedral in edinburgh. the route of this procession has opened up i think for anyone who has followed it up the royal mile, the history of the royal mile, the history of the city, the history of kings and queens, of course, of religious upheaval, and political upheaval. also a history of enlightenment that is the city of the

enlightenment, voltaire once called it the most civilised city in europe. there is a statue of david hume, the great philosopher, just up the street from the cathedral. you can't go far in this city without coming across those great 18th—century figures, the statue of adam smith, which the procession passed a few moments ago. they all know the streets as well as we do.

ina in a moment, the crown of scotland will be placed on the coffin by the duke of hamilton.

god save the king! applause

hello again. monday brought us some large temperature contrasts across the uk. we had cool northwesterly winds dragging some chillier air into northern scotland, but warmerair coming up from france, boosting the temperatures across southern parts of both england and wales. and the warmest spot was actually london — we had temperatures reach as high as 27 celsius in the sunshine here. we also had some sunshine in shetland, but it was a cooler kind of day — temperatures reached around 14 celsius through the course of the afternoon. and between the cool air in the north and that warmer air in the south, we had a weather front bringing some rain on and off for much

of the day across northwest england and north wales. now that weather front continues to slide southwards, where it becomes slow—moving, so a lot of cloud across southern portions of the uk with a few patches of light rain and drizzle, a bit misty, a bit of fog over the hills and coasts, too. but mild in the south — otherwise, colder air spreading across scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, too. now, for tuesday, this weather front will still be with us across the far south of england. the closer you are to the south coast, the more likely you are to see rain at some point during the day. but through the day, this rain band will push northwards — the question mark is how far north it gets. it could get as far north as cardiff, say, or it could just stay to the south. now, away from that, north wales, across much of the midlands, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, a fine day with spells of sunshine. just a few showers for the northwest of scotland, temperatures typically high teens to low 20s. there is still the threat of a little rain from the same weather front wednesday morning, but that will then clear out of the way. and again, the bulk of the uk having anotherfine day with sunny spells. again, a few showers

here and there, particularly across the northwest of scotland, where it will start to turn a little bit cooler — 17 for glasgow and belfast, still into the low 20s further south across england and wales. some slightly stronger north—northwesterly winds with us for thursday, bringing more widespread showers across scotland, and a few running down the north sea coasts of england, as well. those winds dragging some cooler air, so just 13 celsius in aberdeen on thursday. temperatures dropping a bit further south, generally into the teens rather than the low 20s. but here will still be lots of dry weather through friday and into the weekend. a tendency again for it to turn just a little bit cooler and fresher, with temperatures in manchester around 15 celsius or so. that's your latest weather.

this is bbc news. i'm david eades. crowds pay their respects in near silence as king charles and his siblings follow the queen's funeral coortege as it makes its way up the royal mile. as the mother's often lies in rest, the king and other members of the royal family had been standing bejewel. we can show you this in live at saint giles were members of the public are now filing past to pay their respects, as they will throughout the night. fanfare.

early in the day, king charles metres first address as monarch to mps at westminster, pledging to mps at westminster, pledging to follow his mother's example. she set an example of selfless duty, which, with god's help, and your counsel, i am resolved faithfully to follow. and one of the main newsreaders hour. — news story. ukraine says it has recaptured 20 towns and villages in the space of 24 hours. russia retaliates by knocking out power and water supplies. this is the most significant russian withdrawal and they pulled out from kyiv in late march. the human costs of both countries remains huge. on whether it is a prize worth paying, the majority of ukrainian seal there is no choice. this is about survival.

hello, welcome to bbc news. people in edinburgh have had the first chance to pay their respects to queen elizabeth ahead of her state funeral which takes place next monday. let's just show you the very latest scenes from stjohn's cathedral, in fact, where members of the public will be able to continue a long procession passed her coffin to pay their respects. it is something that will go on throughout the night. you can see in front there there are also guards standing bejewel over the coffin itself. we have a top shot they are of the coffin in the middle, around which members of the public are able to come in and pay their respects. it is fairly quiet at the moment. some degree of

service taking place there. we will keep an eye on that but it will keep an eye on that but it will be going on throughout the night to get as many people as possible to pay their respects. the coffin itself will be flown to london later on tuesday. earlier in the day thousands of people were lining the streets as the coffin itself was taken from the pulse of holyroodhouse up from the pulse of holyroodhouse up to the cathedral for a service of thanksgiving honouring her life. king charles of the royal family and solemn procession behind the funeral hearse. it was followed by vigil held by all four of the queen's children. princess and the queen's children. princess in prince andrew and edward alongside the king. this will be a reign finely attuned to the sensibilities of scotland and the distinctiveness of its traditions and institutions.

the king returned today to scotland that has been diverging from the rest of the uk politically for 40 years. support for independence is still below 50% but not by much and it is much higher amongst the young. nicola sturgeon at edinburgh airport to greet him, wants an independent scotland to retain the monarchy with king charles and his heirs on the scottish throne. as king, charles would have to keep his views on that prospect to himself. the principle of constitutional monarchy chimes with public opinion and there was no shortage of public affection for the new king as he progressed down the royal mile to his official residence, where the coffin of his late mother has been lying at rest. the king has chosen to begin his reign with visits to edinburgh, belfast and cardiff, which is telling, suggesting the future of the union is at the heart of his concerns. the early decades of his late mother's reign are characterised by the long, slow contraction of british imperial power around the world. he will be alert to the possibility that his own reign could come to be

defined by the continuation of that process here, and the eventual dissolution of the uk itself. bagpipes skirl. but all that is for another day. a bearer party of the royal regiment of scotland brought the queen's coffin from holyroodhouse back into public view. for today, the eyes of the world intrude on private sorrow. as the queen's family subordinates their own grief to the imperatives of public ritual. queen elizabeth's four children walked behind their mother's hearse. briefly, an insult was shouted at the duke of york which brought this reaction from an otherwise subdued crowd. god save the king!

the royal mile of edinburgh is an ancient thoroughfare, steeped in its progress towards st giles' cathedral, the historic high kirk of edinburgh where the queen had sometimes worshipped, not as head of the church here but simply a member. choir sings here, they placed on the coffin the crown of scotland, made in the 16th century for the queen's ancestor, james v, the centrepiece of the scottish crown jewels, also known as the honours of scotland. consider the quiet symbolism of this. it is a gesture towards the distinctive character of scotland's historic nationhood. i welcome all of you to st giles's cathedral. here, john knox confronted mary queen of scots. here, james vi argued about liturgy. here, our late queen received

the honours of scotland. choir sings the queen's coffin now rests here for 24 hours. tomorrow, it will be taken to london to lie in state at westminster great hall. the scottish parliament his mother opened 23 years ago is the centre of public and political life here now. this evening, the king and queen consort were escorted into the chamber by the king's bodyguard in scotland, the royal company of archers. the msps stood for a two minutes' silence. then each party leader spoke

in support of a motion of condolence. our nation is in mourning today for a queen whose loss we have not yet begun to come to terms with. we are deeply honoured by the presence today of his majesty king charles iii and the queen consort. your majesty, we stand ready to support you as you continue your own life of service and as you build on the extraordinary legacy of your beloved mother. our queen. queen elizabeth, queen of scots, we are grateful for her life. may she now rest in peace. my mother felt, as i do, the greatest admiration for the scottish people, for their magnificent achievements and their indomitable spirit, and it was the greatest comfort for her to know in turn the true affection in which she was held.

the knowledge of that deep and abiding bond must be to us a solace, as we mourn the end of a life of incomparable service. tonight, the king, his sister and brothers stood in silent vigil at their mother's coffin. in life, queen elizabeth came to embody that deep and abiding bond picking evoked, the bond of a shared history and a common identity across the united kingdom. what will remain of that legacy when this period of mourning is over and she recedes into the middle distance of our collective memory? that question will be at the heart of the new reign that began when she died.

allan little, bbc news, edinburgh. as you would expect an extremely busy day for king charles. earliertoday extremely busy day for king charles. earlier today he visited westminster parliament for the first time since taking the throne alongside the queen consort. they heard messages of condolence in the ancient wall before then delivering his response. our royal correspondence reports on the king's visit to parliament. to westminster hall, the ancient building which has been at the centre of so much british history for 1,000 years. the setting over the centuries for moments of national significance, for celebration and sorrow. the setting today for britain's parliamentarians, from the house of commons and house of lords, to come together to pay tribute to a past monarch, and to greet a new one. fanfare

the speaker of the house of commons, sir lindsay hoyle, spoke about the nation's loss. it is a loss to all of us, but we know, most of all, it is a loss to you, your majesty, and to the royal family. the king spoke of his new responsibilities. as i stand before you today, i cannot help but feel the weight of history which surrounds us and which reminds us of the vital parliamentary traditions to which members of both houses dedicate yourselves with such personal commitment for the betterment of us all. 10 years ago, the late queen had addressed parliamentarians in westminster hall during her diamond jubilee. she had spoken about the long

span of british history. i have been privileged to witness some of that history, and with the support of my family, re—dedicate myself to the service of our great country and its people, now and in the years to come. today, the late queen's son committed himself to follow her example. her late majesty pledged herself to serve her country and her people, and to maintain the precious principles of constitutional government which lie at the heart of our nation. this vow she kept with unsurpassed devotion. she set an example of selfless duty which, with god's help and your counsels, i am resolved faithfully to follow.

the parliamentarians sang the national anthem, sung now for the king, charles iii. nicholas witchell, bbc news. let's just layer the situation. as we have been saying, the queen lies undressed overnight at st giles' cathedral in edinburgh. later on her coffin will be moved from there to edinburgh airportand will be moved from there to edinburgh airport and then by plane to the royal air force base in raf northolt. and then by car around about 12, 13 kilometres into central london as the queen will spend our final night at buckingham palace. on wednesday afternoon her coffin will travel from the palace to the palace of westminster. crowds will then be able to watch as the cortege makes the journey through central london. thursday marks the first of four full days the

queen's body will lie and stated westminster hall and hundreds of thousands of members of the public are expected to want to pay their respects. on sunday evening a minute's silence will be held across the uk at eight p.m.. on monday, the queen's lying instead will come to an end. the coffin will be taken in possession to westminster abbey for the funeral which is a bank holiday in the uk. details have not been released about how people can attend the queen's lying in state as well. as they say, large crowds expected. there are warnings that many people will have to wait for many hours, indeed overnight as well. our special correspondent lucy manning has more details on the preparations in the capital. if you can measure love and respect in flowers, in people, then this is quite a statement. london's green park now the park of many colours. the powerful scent of flowers hanging in the air. but however many are here now, will be dwarfed by the numbers

who will stand in a very british way for hours and hours through the days and nights to file past the queen's coffin. people who make it to westminster hall where the queen's body will lie in state have been told to expect very long queues. the fear is they could last up to 24 hours and mourners have been warned they may have to wait overnight. if the lines are too long they could be paused so that people are unable tojoin. people have been asked to dress respectfully, no flowers, cameras or filming allowed. camping out on the mall on saturday, maria from newcastle plans to stay for the lying in state and funeral. she gave 70 years of service to us and this is the least i could do to pay my respects to the queen. she done so much for us as a country, i have got to do it.

i feel that is my duty to do it. vanessa hopes to be the first in the queue. home, a bench on lambeth bridge, until they open the doors. i want to say the last goodbye. it is very sad but i wanted to make sure i will be part of it and start queueing up from today as i heard the queues are going to be very long. more details on the route for the queue are due shortly but it is likely to begin near a park by tower bridge and travel a couple of miles up the thames, passing the london eye at the palace of westminster, then across lambeth bridge. amanda and moira came to lay flowers. but hope to return for the lying in state. it is once—in—a—lifetime and you just want to be part of it. are you prepared to be in those, what are going to be very long queues? that is the thing. we are made of strong stuff

so we will put it to the test. yes, we will give it a go. laughter but there are some predictions that crowds could reach up to a million in the coming days. we put a little note to say thank you for all that she's done. and love all of our names. do you think you are going to come down for the lying in state with the family? i don't think we will because i think it will be a bit too busy for the kids. yeah. i think that is why we came down today because it is nice and relaxing today, like the calm before the storm, before it gets really busy. it will be an enormous operation for the transport system and the police — the met�*s commissioner on his first day in the job. it's a massive challenge for the metropolitan police and for me personally, but we have been preparing for many, many years. the ceremony will soon be replaced with simplicity as the quiet walk past the queen's coffin begins. lucy manning, bbc news. in it will have international perspective in terms of reaction to the events of the

last few days so stay with us for the brief. now ukraine says it is as 20 towns and villages in the east of the country in the space of the last 24 hours. with russian troops in retreat. russia hit back with missiles drugs on the city of kaya kyiv, causing blackouts there. president putin's tactics have also been criticised by one of the leading military commanders fighting on the ground. officially the kremlin says its forces are regrouping, not retreating, this is the situation a week ago with russia still in control, as you see, of much of the east of the country, that's all in red. mapping in the last 24 hours though shows the scale the purple, to the east, and as far south as izyium. from the capital, kyiv, our correspondentjames capital, kyiv, our correspondent james waterhouse sent this.

war can be both symbolic, as well as significant. slava ukraini. and today was just that. russian ambitions once again abandoned. moscow calls this a regrouping. it's more like a retreat, and a quick one. kyiv is claiming to have taken back almost all of the kharkiv region. even russian officials admit to being outnumbered by eight to one here. "izyum was, is and always will be ukraine", says this soldier. this is territory which russia fought hard to take, lost in the space of days. translation: we met them with tears in our eyes. - we could not imagine that they would come so unexpectedly, but we have been waiting for them almost half a year, and we are so happy. whenever russia is frustrated, it responds. this time, accused of striking civilian targets.

a major power station, reduced to this... ..causing trains to stop working on kharkiv�*s metro. forsome, much more was lost than just power. ukraine is pushing on more than one front. that has risks but it is enough to worry one of putin's biggest allies, chechen leader ramzan kadyrov. "if changes are not made," he said in an online post, "i will be forced to go to the country's leadership." this is the most significant russian withdrawal since they pulled out from kyiv in late march. the human costs for both countries remains huge and on whether it is a price worth paying, the majority of ukrainians feel there is no choice.

this is about survival, and the idea of making any concessions to russia remains unfathomable. the kremlin anticipated taking ukraine in a matter of days. 201 of them later, it is going backwards. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. as we've been hearing, more scope response to these ukrainian advances is to emphasise on the word regrouping, not retreating. our russian editor, steve rosenberg, assesses the long and short—term issues facing president putin. the reaction from the kremlin as this is no problem. it's interesting that vladimir putin made no mention of russia's retreat that territorial losses don't mean they didn't happen. they did. and a lot of pro— russia social media groups and telegram channels didn't notice them and they blamed the

russian defence ministry mistakes the battlefield. i want to go black to vladimir putin and make this point, that are used to view putin as a top—notch escape artist, almost a kremlin version of harry houdini. no matter how many groups or chains or tying him up, he always seems to get out of the most difficult situations and come out on top. but all that seems to change after putin passed my decision to invade ukraine. it has gone not according to plan. clearly, not according to plan. clearly, not according to plan. clearly, not according to plan. there is a problem here for vladimir putin because when an authoritarian leader starts to lose that aura of invincibility, that can be very dangerous for that leader. steve rosenberg. a retired military analyst and former chief of staff for us marine corps forces in europe, joins

ahead and off, which i think is an extraordinary military manoeuvre. 50 an extraordinary military manoeuvre.— manoeuvre. so a classic military _ manoeuvre. so a classic military buff _ manoeuvre. so a classic military buff del- manoeuvre. so a classicj military buff del michael glover? ., , military buff del michael glover? . , . . , glover? really classic reminds me of what — glover? really classic reminds me of what we _ glover? really classic reminds me of what we did, _ glover? really classic reminds me of what we did, what - glover? really classic reminds me of what we did, what the l me of what we did, what the allies did prior to d—day when we built the ghost arm either across from calais and it fell into hitler's convictions and that's not where we landed. really, combined with technology, but a command and control, better leadership, higher morale, has put russians on the heels and showing they had that tennis issues on, running fast back towards the russian border. but running fast back towards the russian border.— russian border. but we have used this _ russian border. but we have used this word _ russian border. but we have used this word a _ russian border. but we have used this word a few- russian border. but we have used this word a few times, | used this word a few times, regrouping. they will regroup and i'm sure they will come again. what would you say would be the concern for ukrainians clearly in terms of morale are a very much upward trajectory at the moment? the

in the time of elizabeth and now there is a sense of a country at a crossroads. we've lost a good leader. a lady that served her country well, 96 years and worked right until two days before she passed. what do you think of the new king? i've got mixed views upon the king. i think he's got big shoes to fill. i'm here because it's an historical moment for all british citizens or people who live here, so i feel it's very important because it's a big part, she was a big part of our history. why are you here today? because i am a proud patriot of my own country. the monarchy holds a place to hold tradition, you know what i mean, and pride that i feel has gone out the window. there's not a lot of patriots left in britain and scotland any more. what you think of the new king? i think he will be a great king. i hope he brings some more modern things to the royal family, things about the environment, what the king represents and what he has been doing

as a prince, i'd like him to bring that up with the royal family. and i look forward to seeing his reign. in 1953, when the queen first came here as monarch, the streets were packed. they are thronged again today. there is clear support for elizabeth here, but what does this tell us about the future of this country? edinburgh, queen elizabeth's northern capital, prepares to greet her majesty. from the start, the queen clearly felt a deep affinity for scotland and its place in the uk. at her silverjubilee in 1977, she publicly stressed what she called the benefits of union. but in recent times, support for independence has surged. if the union with scotland in particular, but also the united kingdom as we know it is to be preserved, then the monarch has

a role to play, the monarch will obviously want to try and maintain what has been there for centuries. how does support for the monarchy in scotland break down by party? yes, so there's clear differences. if you are talking to people who tend to support the conservative party, support is in the high 70s. if you're talking to people who support the liberal democrats and labour, it is in the 605. but if you're talking to people who support the snp, then support is much lower, in the high 20s. and yet the snp is in favour of the monarchy, even if they achieve an independent scotland? yes, there is a distinction between what the party leadership has said and what supporters of independence actually want. there, you find more tepid support for the monarchy. not here, though, not tonight, as thousands queued to file past the queen's coffin. people are saying, you could have watched it at home in comfort, on the television,

and we could have. but this is history and we will never do this again. we are wearing our tartan. this is a very emotional time. she was quite an incredible lady. we felt as though we knew her, even though we never saw her. very sorry for you, your majesty. - and so, as her son the king mourns, the people offer comfort. james cook, bbc news at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh. around the world, other states have been paying tributes to the lack monarch. soon we will get the view from new zealand and also ireland. first, let's go to australia. a national day of mourning has been announced. it will be held three days after the state funeral. the day has also declared a public

holiday. on sunday, the country's parliament formally proclaimed king charles iii as the head of state, and in sydney crowds gathered to mark the ascension of the kingdom, and remember the queen who visited 16 times in her reign. i will correspondence looks at her majesty's relationship and its people. newsreel: welcome to this continent which is ours and yours. welcome to australia. welcome, the queen. february 1954, queen elizabeth ii becomes the only reigning monarch to visit australia. it was a great day for those of us who had the luck orforesight to be in sydney. the 27—year—old sovereign and her naval officer husband, prince philip, were no longerjust distant figures, as australians got a glimpse of their head of state the first time. it is my earnest hope that during the two months of my visit i shall get to know you well and learn something of your achievements and your problems.

the queen also got a taste of the aussie lifestyle. and for a bit of a contrast, it was saturday afternoon at bondi beach. that's where half of sydney goes for surf riding and sunbathing. when the queen's ship, the gothic, sailed into the harbour here in sydney, it was a defining moment in the country's history. now, after her death, australians have mixed emotions — a profound sadness at the loss of the only monarch most people here have known and hope for the king's reign. god save the king. all: god save the king. king charles iii is now australia's ruling monarch and head of state. but his mother's absence is deeply felt here. a bit emotional. like, its still surreal that she's passed away, but now we've got the king charles. sad and happy, you know, the queen's gone, but there's a new king. ijust hope it goes

well for charlie. i grew up singing 'god - save the queen', and today was the first time for us to sing - "god save the king." # waltzing matilda. there were many memorable moments during her visits. notjust the grand events, but the outpouring of welcome and warmth among the crowds, and, of course, the endless bouquets. there were also some controversial encounters. former prime minister paul keating was nicknamed the lizard of oz when he did this. archive: ..his arm - around the royal waist. the gatherings weren't always friendly. there have been these protests and i think they will continue from now on, until we get rid of the monarchy. republicans have long rejected a foreign sovereign being their head of state. but when the issue was put to the people in 1999 in a referendum, australians chose to stick with the queen and the no vote won.

leading the republican side was malcolm turnbull, who later became prime minister. i have no doubt there will be another referendum. i said the next time we vote on this will not be before the end of the queen's reign, ok? the queen's reign has ended, but that doesn't mean there'll be a referendum next week or next year. the case for a republic in australia has got nothing to do with the personality of the monarch. the issue is simply, do you think our head of state should be an australian citizen or the monarch of another country? that's the question. during her tours, the queen met first nations people as well as elders. while many indigenous australians have mourned her death, others spoke of the trauma of colonisation and the painful legacy of the crown. the queen's final visit to australia was in 2011 just after floods and a cyclone hit queensland.

we are here to play tribute to the resilience and courage of queenslanders who bravely picked up their lives and rebuilt them after a period of great adversity. canon fire australia will remember the queen not only as the much—respected and admired monarch and head of state, but also as a true friend of the country and its people. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. new zealand is among the minority of commonwealth nations which still have the british monarch as head of state. the prime minister has also said many people would appreciate the opportunity to mark her death and celebrate her life, which they will be doing over the coming days. let speak now to the chair of monarchy new zealand who joins us now from auckland. thank you forjoining as sean. the title, monarchy new zealand tells us a

lot about your feelings about the queen. what did the queen do for new zealand's sense of identity, perhaps? the queen has had an tremendous role in new zealand as she had in many countries. i think one of the more valuable assets was that she connected new zealand to the rest of the world. new zealand is a relatively small country in a rather out of the way place to reach, and it would be difficult to conceive of how new zealand could have a head of state more renowned than the queen was. she was easily among the most famous people in the world, and on occasion she was able to shine the spotlight for the world stage or new zealand and draw attention to our arts and culture and our heritage, and hopes for the future. i

culture and our heritage, and hopes for the future.- hopes for the future. i think ou hopes for the future. i think you have — hopes for the future. i think you have described - hopes for the future. i think you have described king - hopes for the future. i think - you have described king charles as being possibly the most kiwi king or monarch that you will have a ever seen, why is that? don mackie will do a greatjob. it will be different to his mother's role but we would expect that with a change of monarch. he has been a lifelong conservationist and new zealanders as our country greatly value environmentalism, conservationism. those concerns, and charles was really ahead of the curb on that decades ago. he spoke of the importance of protecting nature, the planet as a whole, and he was often mocked for that but now decades later people have come to realise that he was right, so i think

those sensibilities are going to resonate well here stop he was a for the wool industry and thatis was a for the wool industry and that is kind of a big deal in new zealand! they will be a lot of intrigue into how he will fulfil his role. in terms of the people you have been talking to over the past few days, do you expect any change of attitude towards monarchy? as you mentioned, there is a huge void with the queen's passing and it is a time for reflection. as we know there are other commonwealth countries considering once again, do they want the british monarch as the head of state and the like. what would be the prevailing sense you have felt in new zealand?— zealand? well, really to address _ zealand? well, really to address that _ zealand? well, really to address that straight - zealand? well, really to address that straight offj zealand? well, really to l address that straight off i would point out that year in new zealand we try not to think of her as the british head of state, we think of her as new zealand's head of state and i'm

sure that canadians and australians take a similar sense of ownership of the monarchy and their countries. she is really wary different hats in each of these countries. in terms of whether there will be changes going forward, i think it's a very destabilising time. people have lived their entire lives under elizabeth's reign, and it's not surprising of people find it discombobulated ring and look to the future and wonder, will there be a big change? should we change? what will the future hold? i don't think there is going to be a lot of change. i think most people will find that charles goes into the role beautifully and it will demonstrate the system of constitutional monarchy is incredibly effective.- incredibly effective. sean, thank you _ incredibly effective. sean, thank you very _ incredibly effective. sean, thank you very much, - incredibly effective. sean, | thank you very much, chair incredibly effective. sean, . thank you very much, chair of monarchy new zealand, joining us from auckland. many thanks.

kilometres captured, it's not quite as significant as strategically as it appears on the ground. strategically as it appears on the ground-— the ground. that's an interesting _ the ground. that's an interesting point - the ground. that's an - interesting point because the figures look startling. they talked about outnumbering russians 821 which sounds phenomenal what's the likely response from russia now? we can't expect this to be, they'll draw a line and say they'll draw a line and say they won't go back there? right. looking at russia historically, and looking at food and specifically, they always respond. i don't see any chance that putin willjust cow his shoulders and say they got me! you will have some kind of response and retaliatory move. i expect him to put more effort into the donbas and probably push harder or they might even try to go to a mobilisation which to this point they have refused to do. i don't know

what they will do but i feel confident that they will do something and under any circumstances, i published a while ago today in the publication in 1945, this war has a long way to go. you talk about potentially _ has a long way to go. you talk| about potentially mobilisation. very interesting move to make when there is a sense that perhaps morale within the russian forces at the moment is probably pretty low. about; russian forces at the moment is probably pretty low.— probably pretty low. any time ou aet probably pretty low. any time you get defeated _ probably pretty low. any time you get defeated like - probably pretty low. any time you get defeated like that, i you get defeated like that, anyone is going to have their morale diminished, likely ukrainian said when they lost mariupol and severodonetsk and lysychansk and they were able to recover from that and that's how was go. it's not like because this thing happened today, that's it, russia will fold and collapse, any than you created after those series of losses, they finally got their stuff together and stopped and made a counter—attack. we can properly see in the weeks and months ahead that russia will do the same thing because as

you pointed out, they still have somewhere around 170,000 or 200,000 troops in ukraine and now they aren't going anywhere. and now they aren't going anywhere-— and now they aren't going anywhere. and now they aren't going an here. ~ , . , , anywhere. when they have trips ofthat anywhere. when they have trips of that scale _ anywhere. when they have trips of that scale and _ anywhere. when they have trips of that scale and numbers, - of that scale and numbers, we've looked at some of the debris, the damage, destroyed tanks, etc and ordinance. is that a market amount over kit they are losing or have they got plenty in reserve? fight; they are losing or have they got plenty in reserve? any time ou lose got plenty in reserve? any time you lose that — got plenty in reserve? any time you lose that amount _ got plenty in reserve? any time you lose that amount of - got plenty in reserve? any time you lose that amount of stuff, | you lose that amount of stuff, it's gonna hurt. but they do have thousands more armoured vehicles, tanks and artillery and armoured personnel characters in that inventory but without question, some of the losses were some of the modern tea 90 tanks a couple of companies had because they didn't expect to move quickly. when the force came from the west, they didn't have time to get into proximity to go and travel back over so they lost and it's gonna hurt, no doubt. it is an extra ordinary situation. daniel, thank you.

always my pleasure. thank you. let's go back to edinburgh. the time is five minutes to two and people continue filing past the coffin of queen elizabeth ii, despite this very late hour, and lady—in—waiting several hours already for this moment. there will be plenty more outside the cathedral. i heard earlier of acute stretching more than a mile as people waited to get the chance to pay their respects. it's a 24 hour operation, effectively, in edinburgh, before the coffin it will begin its journey further south as it will be flown down to the edge of london to, anne aly the signalfor to the edge of london to, anne aly the signal for another four days of lying in state in westminster hall, from thursday, with the likelihood

hello again. monday brought us some large temperature contrasts across the uk. we had cool north—westerly winds dragging some chillier air into northern scotland, but warmerair coming up from france, boosting the temperatures across southern parts of both england and wales. and the warmest spot was actually london — we had temperatures reach as high as 27 celsius in the sunshine here. we also had some sunshine in shetland, but it was a cooler kind of day — temperatures reached around 14 celsius through the course of the afternoon. and between the cool air in the north and that warmer air in the south, we had a weather front bringing some rain on and off for much of the day across north—west england and north wales. now that weather front continues to slide southwards,

where it becomes slow—moving, so a lot of cloud across southern portions of the uk with a few patches of light rain and drizzle, a bit misty, a bit of fog over the hills and coasts, too. but mild in the south — otherwise, colder air spreading across scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, too. now, for tuesday, this weather front will still going to be with us across the far south of england. the closer you are to the south coast, the more likely you are to see rain at some point during the day. but through the day, this rain band will push northwards — the question mark is how far north it gets. it could get as far north as cardiff, say, or it could just stay to the south. now, away from that, north wales, across much of the midlands, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, a fine day with spells of sunshine. just a few showers for the northwest of scotland, temperatures typically high teens to low 20s. there is still the threat of a little rain from the same weather front wednesday morning, but that will then clear out of the way. and again, the bulk of the uk having another fine day with sunny spells. again, a few showers here and there, particularly across the northwest

of scotland, where it will start to turn a little bit cooler — 17 for glasgow and belfast, still into the low 20s further south across england and wales. some slightly stronger north—northwesterly winds with us for thursday, bringing more widespread showers across scotland, and a few running down the north sea coasts of england, as well. those winds dragging some cooler air, sojust 13 degrees in aberdeen on thursday. temperatures dropping a bit further south, generally into the teens rather than the low 20s. but there will still be lots of dry weather through friday and into the weekend. a tendency again for it to turn just a little bit cooler and fresher, with temperatures in manchester around 15 degrees or so. that's your latest weather.

airport to greet him, wants an independent scotland to retain the monarchy, with king charles and his heirs on the scottish throne. as king, charles will have to keep his views on that prospect to himself. the principle of constitutional monarchy chimes with public opinion, and there was no shortage of public affection for the new king, as he progressed down the royal mile to his official residence, where the coffin of his late mother has been lying at rest. that the king has chosen to begin his reign with visits to edinburgh, belfast and cardiff is telling. it's suggested that the future of the union is at the heart of his concerns. the early decades of his late mother's reign were characterised by the long, slow contraction of british imperial power around the world. he will be alert to the possibility that his own reign could come to be defined by the continuation of that process, here, and the eventual dissolution of the uk itself. bagpipes skirl

injusta injust a moment in just a moment we have a timeline for you of the events leading up to the state funeral next monday. ukraine says it has to be taken as many as 20 towns and villages on the east of the country in the space of just 24 hours with russian troops in retreat. russia head back with missile strikes on the city of kharkiv causing blackouts, but president putin's tactics have been criticised by one of the leading military commanders fighting on the ground. officially, the kremlin says its forces are regrouping rather than retreating. this was a situation just a week ago with russian still in control with russian still in control with much of the east of the country, that is the area in red. here is the change, mapping in the last 24 hours shows significant gains by the ukrainians, that is in purple to the east, and as far south as izyum. our correspondence at

this. war can be both symbolic, as well as significant. slava ukraini. and today was just that. russian ambitions once again abandoned. moscow calls this a regrouping. it's more like a retreat, and a quick one. kyiv is claiming to have taken back almost all of the kharkiv region. even russian officials admit to being outnumbered by eight to one here. "izyum was, is and always will be "ukraine", says this soldier. this is territory which russia fought hard to take, lost in the space of days. translation: we met them with tears in our eyes. - we could not imagine that they would come so unexpectedly, but we have been waiting for them almost half a year, and we are so happy. whenever russia is frustrated, it responds.

this time, accused of striking civilian targets. a major power station, reduced to this... ..causing trains to stop working on kharkiv�*s metro. forsome, much more was lost than just power. ukraine is pushing on more than one front. that has risks but it is enough to worry one of putin's biggest allies, chechen leader ramzan kadyrov. "if changes are not made," he said in an online post, "i will be forced to go to the country's leadership." this is the most significant russian withdrawal since they pulled out from kyiv in late march. the human costs for both countries remains huge and on whether it is a price worth paying, the majority of ukrainians feel there is no choice. this is about survival, and the idea of making any concessions to russia

remains unfathomable. the kremlin anticipated taking ukraine in a matter of days. 201 of them later, it is going backwards. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. as we have been hearing, the queen lies in rest overnight at st giles' cathedral in edinburgh. many people filing past to pay their respects as we speak, but later on tuesday, her coffin will be moved from there to edinburgh airport and then by plane to raf northolt, then by plane to raf northolt, the edge of london, then by carter london where the queen will be spending a final night at buckingham palace. on wednesday afternoon the coffin will travel from the palace to the palace of westminster, crowds able to watch as the cortege makes thatjourney

through central london. thursday marks the first of formica full days the queen's body will lie in state at westminster hall, hundreds of thousands of members of the public effort to pay their respects over those four days. on sunday evening a minute's silence will be held across the uk at eight p.m.. on monday the queen's lying unstable and the coffin take to position at westminster abbey for the state funeral, a bank holiday in the uk. details have been revealed about how people can attend the queen's lying in state. large crowds expected and there are warnings people may have to wait for many hours, even overnight. special correspondent lucy manning has more on the preparations in the capital. if you can measure love and respect in flowers, in people, then this is quite a statement. london's green park now the park of many colours. the powerful scent of flowers hanging in the air.

but however many are here now will be dwarfed by the numbers who will stand in a very british way for hours and hours through the days and nights to file past the queen's coffin. people who make it to westminster hall where the queen's body will lie in state have been told to expect very long queues. the fear is they could last up to 24 hours and mourners have been warned they may have to wait overnight. if the lines are too long they could be paused so that people are unable tojoin. people have been asked to dress respectfully, no flowers, cameras or filming allowed. camping out on the mall since saturday, maria from newcastle plans to stay for the lying in state and funeral. she gave 70 years of service to us and this is the least i could do to pay my respects to the queen. she done so much for us as a country, so i have got to do it. i feel that is my

duty to do it. vanessa hopes to be the first in the queue. home, a bench on lambeth bridge, until they open the doors. our part is to say the last goodbye. it is very sad but i wanted to make sure i will be part of it and start queueing up from today as i heard the queues are going to be very long. more details on the route for the queue are due shortly but it is likely to begin near a park by tower bridge and travel a couple of miles up the thames, passing the london eye at the palace of westminster, then across lambeth bridge. amanda and moira came to lay flowers but hope to return for the lying in state. it is once—in—a—lifetime and you just want to be part of it. are you prepared to be in those watt what are going to be very long queues?

that is the thing. we are made of strong stuff so we will put it to the test. yes, we will give it a go. laughter but there are some predictions that crowds could reach up to a million in the coming days. we put a little note to say thank you for all that she's done. and love all of our names. do you think you are going to come down for the lying in state with the family? i don't think we will because i think it will be a bit too busy for the kids. yeah. i think that is why we came down today because it is nice and relaxing today, like the calm before the storm, before it gets really busy. it will be an enormous operation for the transport system and the police — the met�*s commissioner on his first day in the job. it's a massive challenge for the metropolitan police and for me personally, but we have been preparing for many, many years. the ceremony will soon be replaced with simplicity as the quiet walk past the queen's coffin begins. lucy manning, bbc news. the queen's death as being marketed island many government

buildings filing the irish trigger at half—mast. over visit to the country in 2011 seen as a landmark between the two market countries. in the city of cork manning about the queen's visit with great affection. special correspondent fergal keane is there and sent this report. she had a way about her that brought out the best in cork. warm, open, a place to bind old wounds with humour. joking in the city's english market with the legendary fishmonger. he knew he was part of a transformational moment. you could go on forever being bitter and forever arguing over something that happened a hundred years ago or whatever. there's a time to say, "it's history." we will remember it. it was horrible stuff when it happened, but let's make our own little bit of history and move things forward. the visit to ireland was about the formal gestures, the queen bowing her head

to the dead of the irish revolution in dublin, a gesture unimaginable in the long years of the troubles. when i met him in cork, ireland's taoiseach told me the queen had provided a powerful example of reconciliation. i thought it was a very poignant moment. i thought it was an extraordinary moment that the british head of state would come and honour and respect those who fought and died in the irish war of independence. it was a great, great gesture, and more than a gesture, an act that really meant a lot to people. it was in cork that the queen met the heart of ireland. have you enjoyed your trip? very much. building peace through the power of the purely human. 100 years ago, the ruins of war dominated cork. parts of the city destroyed by british forces.

these memorials to two of its lord mayors — one assassinated by undercover police — his successor died on hunger strike in a britishjail. yet, above the city hall today, a symbol of change. the irish flag flying at half—mast for a british queen. inside, a book of condolence filled with warm messages for the monarch and her family. affection for the queen here is deeply rooted in her support for the peace process. her death comes at a time when relations between the republic and united kingdom are more strained than they have been for decades, with the row over the northern ireland protocol. the messages call her a healer, a peacemaker. your hope is that this extraordinary moment in history with this period of mourning provides the opportunity for a reset in what are, let's admit it, pretty

difficult anglo—irish relations at the moment. yes, i would like to think the visit of queen elizabeth ii to ireland, her passing, will give us all time for reflection and will remind us of the need to proactively nurture the relationship between britain and ireland to enhance it in the time ahead, and that this moment gives us that opportunity for reflection and resetting, in a good way, that relationship. but what does a younger generation feel? i went back to a history class in my old school in cork. but freedom is suggested in that parliament. there was this message for the people of britain. keep your head up. all the fighting is beyond us now. we can be friends again and just mourn together.

what he does for as as well, he influences brexit. he is in tough waters now. so you want to see him follow in his mother's example in reconciliation? yes, keep the peace. it is often said the queen was my politics. perhaps in ireland it is more apt to say she expressed its most noble purpose, to offer hope out of the accumulated grief of history. fergal keane, bbc news, fork. across the border the northern ireland assembly met tributes to mike to pay tribute to the queen. it was followed by tributes from all members of political parties. the king will carry engagement in the course of tuesday as part of the new monarch's programme of visits across the uk. let me take you back to st giles' cathedral in edinburgh where it may be nearly half past two in the morning but the opportunity to pay respects to the

her coffin there as you can see, surrounded by four guards keeping visual, as members of the public weight for a small service to pass, and they will continue filing past that coffin. was quite warm and humid around southern areas of the uk, the scene in hampshire on monday, but further north across scotland it was a bit cooler but at least some dry weather with sunny spells. the rain we had on monday around central portions of the uk, you see that from the cloud earlier on, moving its way south. sunny spells to the north and south korea that but as we go to the next few days, this area of high pressure will start to move its way in. during tuesday

morning we will see ran across the far south of england, just on this weather front, showers gradually getting heavier as the day goes on, moving from english channel to affect south wales, through southern areas of england, further north looking dry. on tuesday, sunny spells for many. feeling quite fresh particularly across scotland, temperatures here about 15 or 16 celsius, a fritter data many areas of england and wales except a far south—west, feeling warm and humid. tuesday evening and night, the rain could be quite heavy for some parts, there could be surface water spray into the evening, the rain eventually petering out early on into wednesday, a chilly night to come into wednesday morning. temperatures down to seven celsius for example in newcastle, further south, about 13- 15 newcastle, further south, about 13— 15 degrees. we still have an area of cloud and ran across the far south of england into wednesday but high pressure is slowly starting to move its way

and from the atlantic that'll settle things down. a bit of a damp start today on wednesday across southern areas, that ran, those showers will eventually move and clear out into the english channel. the most of us on wednesday, it's going to be a dry day with some sunny spells. temperatures down to touch across scotland. still about the 20s across the south—east of england. it's at you can even chillier for many of us as we go to the end of the week because you see here we have a low pressure towards scandinavia, high pressure to the atlantic, a northerly wind, look at these blue colours from the arctic, slowly sinking southward. throughout thursday the northerly wind will bring in some showers across the far north of scotland. elsewhere it looks like a dry day, varying amounts of cloud throughout thursday but temperatures will be a bit lower. 11— 12 degrees in final scotland, even further south across southern england, a fresh feeling day across

thursday. forthe a fresh feeling day across thursday. for the end of the week, we have this area of high—pressure moving its eye a bit further eastward, rather brisk northerly wind down the north sea, and that will bring showers towards eastern scotland, lincolnshire, east anglia, the south—east of england on friday, but for most of us, again dry with some sunshine for that northerly wind bring about cooler air, making it feel much fresher with temperatures generally about the med to the high teens. just a summary for the and of the week. lots of things going on in london, the focus therefore dry weather to come with sunny spells, temperatures about 17— 90 degrees but as you see elsewhere, the outlook is remaining largely dry with some sunny spells. that's all for me. goodbye. now, we look at the events of the day as the period of

national mourning continues. this is going to be the moment of emotion that — there has been quite a lot of smiling today, despite the nature of occasion, an atmosphere of quite gradually, thanksgiving for the queen's la, which of course is the point of the service at saint giles, happen at three o'clock. bagpipes skirl. and now we see the coffin of her majesty. band plays god save the king.

it that barrow party from the royal regimen of scotland. the king. he wears the uniform of a field marshal of the british army. full ceremonial uniform.

the bearer party moves away. quiet has descended upon the palace of holyroodhouse. it is the moment that the palace says farewell to queen elizabeth ii. the king's bodyguard, as it now is, forms on each side of the hearse. the royal company of archers. the high constables of holyrood in their places, always here when the sovereign is in residence. soon, the

procession will make its way up the royal mile. through those crowds, they will be remembering at the side of the hearse, of the late queen'soften. the sombre nature of this occasion. for all the feeling of thanksgiving and the sense of happiness about the city looking at its best, preparing to do its former sovereign proud, now the true nature of this occasion is real to everyone, and they are reminded by we are here. his majesty the king, his sister,

the duke of york, his brother not wearing military uniform on this occasion because he is no longer a working well. he will be in uniform at the royal hall as a mark of respect, but not on other occasions. and the earl of wessex is also there, former duke of york, as is the title of the earl of inverness. the queen's four children will walk with the hearse. the

procession begins at a stately pace across the forecourt of the palace. we have seen so much royal history throughout the years. the star of the procession that will take us right through to westminster hall to the funeral itself next monday, the queen's departure from london, and for internment in st george's chapel. when the

king and queen consort drove down this road, and a half or so ago there was quite a bit of smiling and waving. that is gone. this is now a procession of deep solemnity. and remembrance. slowly, with great

dignity, the hearse comes up the hill, and at each point these crowds would be waiting here for many hours to see, for the first time, the coffin carrying the late queen. it is as if these streets are filled again, as they always are during the festival weeks, but for a very different purpose with a different demeanour and with a different demeanour and with quite a different sound. voices are lowered, some heads are bowed, and there is in the

streets of the scottish capital today an atmosphere of abiding respect and gratitude. gun salute. this is a service of thanksgiving, reflection, and thatis thanksgiving, reflection, and that is the feeling of thanksgiving that the citizenry of edinburgh are representing today in these ancient streets.

lead majesty is borne into the cathedral. the root of this procession has opened up i think for anyone who has followed it up the royal mile, the history of the city, the history of kings and queens, of course, are religious upheaval, political upheaval, also, history of enlightenment, this is the of enlightenment, this is the of enlightenment, voltaire once called admissible a city in

europe. there is a statue actually of david hume, the great philosopherjust up the street from the cathedral. you can't go far in the city without coming across those great 18th—century figures. a statue of adam smith. the procession moved past that a few moments ago. they all knew the streets as well as we do.

hello again. monday brought us some large temperature contrasts across the uk. we had cool north—westerly winds dragging some chillier air into northern scotland, but warmerair coming up from france, boosting the temperatures across southern parts of both england and wales. and the warmest spot was actually london — we had temperatures reach as high as 27 degrees celsius in the sunshine here. we also had some sunshine in shetland, but it was a cooler kind of day — temperatures reached around 14 degrees through the course of the afternoon. and between the cool air in the north and that warmer air in the south, we had a weather front bringing some rain on and off for much of the day across north—west england and north wales. now that weather front continues to slide southwards, where it becomes slow—moving, so a lot of cloud

across southern portions of the uk with a few patches of light rain and drizzle, a bit misty, a bit of fog over the hills and coasts, too. but mild in the south — otherwise, colder air spreading across scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, too. now, for tuesday, this weather front will still going to be with us across the far south of england. the closer you are to the south coast, the more likely you are to see rain at some point during the day. but through the day, this rain band will push northwards — the question mark is how far north it gets. it could get as far north as cardiff, say, or it could just stay to the south. now, away from that, north wales, across much of the midlands, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, a fine day with spells of sunshine. just a few showers for the northwest of scotland, temperatures typically high teens to low 20s. there is still the threat of a little rain from the same weather front wednesday morning, but that will then clear out of the way. and again, the bulk of the uk having another fine day with sunny spells. again, a few showers here and there, particularly across the northwest of scotland, where it will start to turn a little bit cooler — 17 for glasgow and belfast, still into the low 20s further south

across england and wales. some slightly stronger north—northwesterly winds with us for thursday, bringing more widespread showers across scotland, and a few running down the north sea coasts of england, as well. those winds dragging some cooler air, sojust 13 degrees in aberdeen on thursday. temperatures dropping a bit further south, generally into the teens rather than the low 20s. but there will still be lots of dry weather through friday and into the weekend. a tendency again for it to turn just a little bit cooler and fresher, with temperatures in manchester around 15 degrees or so. that's your latest weather.

welcome to bbc news. our headlines — crowds pay respects in near silence as king charles and siblings follow the queen's funeral cortege on foot as they make their way up edinburgh's royal mile. as their mother's coffin lies in rest of the king and other members of the royal family have been standing vigil. this is the scene right now at st giles where members of the public are filing past to pay their respects as they will do through the night. fanfare.

earlier in the day king charles made his first address as monarch tos at westminster pledging to follow his mother's example. she set an example of selfless duty which, with god's help, and your counsel's, i am resolved faithfully to follow. one other major news story this hour. ukraine says it has recaptured 20 towns and villages in the space of 24 hours. russia retaliates by knocking out power and water supplies. this is the most significant russian withdrawal since they pulled out from kyiv in late march. the human costs of both countries remains huge. and on whether it's a prize worth paying, the majority of ukrainians feel there is no choice. this is about survival.

hello, welcome to bbc news. people in edinburgh have had the first chance to pay their respects to queen elizabeth, ahead of her state funeral, which takes place next monday. we can show you live pictures from saint giles cathedral right now, as members of the public have been filing past the coffin by the minute really and will continue to do so over and will continue to do so over a 24—hour period and right through the night. it hasjust gone 3am in edinburgh and while there will be a short prayer, as there has been at the top of each hour, the public will then be able to resume their walk and they have been queueing way out through the cathedral doors and down the street for their opportunity to pay their respects. the coffin itself will be flown to london later on tuesday. thousands of people have been lining the streets on

edinburgh, as the coffin was taken from the palace of holyrood house up the royal mile to the cathedral for a service to honour her life. king charles led the procession behind the funeral hearse, followed by a vigil held by all four of the queen has met children. princess and, princes andrew and edward alongside the king. our correspondent aaron little has this report. this will be a reign finely attuned to the sensibilities of scotland and the distinctiveness of its traditions and institutions. the king returned today to scotland that has been diverging from the rest of the uk politically for 40 years. support for independence is still below 50% but not by much and it is much higher amongst the young. nicola sturgeon at edinburgh airport to greet him, wants an independent scotland to retain the monarchy with king charles and his heirs on the scottish throne. as king, charles would have to keep his views on that prospect to himself.

the principle of constitutional monarchy chimes with public opinion and there was no shortage of public affection for the new king as he progressed down the royal mile to his official residence, where the coffin of his late mother has been lying at rest. the king has chosen to begin his reign with visits to edinburgh, belfast and cardiff, which is telling, suggesting the future of the union is at the heart of his concerns. the early decades of his late mother's reign were characterised by the long, slow contraction of british imperial power around the world. he will be alert to the possibility that his own reign could come to be defined by the continuation of that process here, and the eventual dissolution of the uk itself. bagpipes skirl. but all that is for another day. a bearer party of the royal regiment of scotland brought the queen's coffin from holyroodhouse back into public view. for today, the eyes

of the world intrude on private sorrow. as the queen's family subordinates their own grief to the imperatives of public ritual. queen elizabeth's four children walked behind their mother's hearse. briefly, an insult was shouted at the duke of york, which brought this reaction from an otherwise subdued crowd. crowd chants: god save the king! - the royal mile of edinburgh is an ancient thoroughfare, steeped in its progress towards st giles' cathedral, the historic high kirk of edinburgh, where the queen had sometimes worshipped, not as head of the church here, but simply as a member. choir sings. here, they placed on the coffin the crown

of scotland, made in the 16th century for the queen's ancestor, james v. it is the centrepiece of the scottish crown jewels, also known as the honours of scotland. consider the quiet symbolism of this. it is a gesture towards the distinctive character of scotland's historic nationhood. i welcome all of you to st giles' cathedral. here, john knox confronted mary queen of scots. here, james vi argued about liturgy. here, our late queen received the honours of scotland. choir sings.

the queen's coffin now rests here for 24 hours. tomorrow, it will be taken to london to lie in state at westminster great hall. the scottish parliament his mother opened 23 years ago is the centre of public and political life here now. this evening, the king and queen consort were escorted into the chamber by the king's bodyguard in scotland, the royal company of archers. the msps stood for a two—minute silence. then each party leader spoke in support of a motion of condolence. our nation is in mourning today for a queen whose loss we have not yet begun to come to terms with. we are deeply honoured by the presence today of his majesty king charles iii and the queen consort. your majesty, we stand ready to support you, as you continue your own life of service,

and as you build on the extraordinary legacy of your beloved mother, our queen. queen elizabeth, queen of scots, we are grateful for her life. may she now rest in peace. my mother felt, as i do, the greatest admiration for the scottish people, for their magnificent achievements, and their indomitable spirit, and it was the greatest comfort for her to know, in turn, the true affection in which she was held. the knowledge of that deep and abiding bond must be to us a solace, as we mourn the end of a life of incomparable service. tonight, the king, his sister and his brothers stood

in silent vigil at their mother's coffin. in life, queen elizabeth came to embody that deep and abiding bond the king evoked, the bond of a shared history and a common identity across the united kingdom. what will remain of that legacy, when this period of mourning is over, and she recedes into the middle distance of our collective memory? that question will be at the heart of the new reign that began when she died. allan little, bbc news, edinburgh. yes, and part of that new reign was carried out by kings charles, who earlier visited the uk public new westminster parliament for the first time since taking the throne. along with the queen consort, the king heard messages of condolence from both houses in

the ancient westminster hall before delivering his response. nicholas witchell reports on the king's visit to parliament. to westminster hall, the ancient building, which has been at the centre of so much british history for 1,000 years. the setting over the centuries for moments of national significance, for celebration and sorrow. the setting today for britain's parliamentarians, from the house of commons and house of lords, to come together to pay tribute to a past monarch, and to greet a new one. fanfare. the speaker of the house of commons, sir lindsay hoyle, spoke about the nation's loss. it is a loss to all of us, but we know, most of all, it is a loss to you, your majesty, and to the royal family.

the king spoke of his new responsibilities. as i stand before you today, i cannot help but feel the weight of history, which surrounds us, and which reminds us of the vital parliamentary traditions to which members of both houses dedicate yourselves with such personal commitment for the betterment of us all. 10 years ago, the late queen had addressed parliamentarians in westminster hall during her diamond jubilee. she had spoken about the long span of british history. i have been privileged to witness some of that history, and with the support of my family, re—dedicate myself to the service of our great country and its people, now, and in the years to come. today, the late queen's son committed himself to follow her example. her late majesty pledged

herself to serve her country and her people, and to maintain the precious principles of constitutional government, which lie at the heart of our nation. this vow she kept with unsurpassed devotion. she set an example of selfless duty, which, with god's and your counsels', i am resolved faithfully to follow. the parliamentarians sang the national anthem, sung now for the king, charles iii. nicholas witchell, bbc news. nao, ukraine says it has retaken as many as 20 towns and

villages in the east of the country in just 24 hours, with russian troops in retreat. russian troops in retreat. russia did hit back with missile strikes on the city of kaki causing some blackouts, but president putin's tactics have been criticised by one of the leading military commander is fighting on the ground. officially, the kremlin says its forces are regrouping. this was the situation just a week ago, with russia still in control of much of the east of the country. you can see that area in redding there. as for that 24—hour period, well, significant gains made by the ukrainians in the purple there to the east, and indeed as far south as izzy. from the capital, kyiv, our ukraine correspondentjames capital, kyiv, our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse enters this. war can be both symbolic, as well as significant. slava ukraini. and today was just that. russian ambitions once again abandoned. moscow calls this a regrouping. it's more like a retreat, and a quick one.

kyiv is claiming to have taken back almost all of the kharkiv region. even russian officials admit to being outnumbered by eight to one here. "izyum was, is and always will be "ukraine", says this soldier. this is territory which russia fought hard to take, lost in the space of days. translation: we met them with tears in our eyes. - we could not imagine that they would come so unexpectedly, but we have been waiting for them almost half a year, and we are so happy. whenever russia is frustrated, it responds, this time, accused of striking civilian targets. a major power station, reduced to this... ..causing trains to stop working on kharkiv�*s metro. forsome, much more was lost than just power. ukraine is pushing

on more than one front. that has risks but it is enough to worry one of putin's biggest allies, chechen leader ramzan kadyrov. "if changes are not made," he said in an online post, "i will be forced to go to the country's leadership." this is the most significant russian withdrawal since they pulled out from kyiv in late march. the human costs for both countries remains huge and on whether it is a price worth paying, the majority of ukrainians feel there is no choice. this is about survival, and the idea of making any concessions to russia remains unfathomable. the kremlin anticipated taking ukraine in a matter of days. 201 of them later, it is going backwards. james waterhouse,

bbc news, kyiv. moscow's response to news of those ukrainian advances is very much to empathise emphasise that they are regrouping. steve rosenberg assesses the long and short—term facing president putin. the reaction from the kremlin today was that this is no problem at all. it is interesting that vladimir putin made no mention of the russian retreat but territorial losses mean it did not happen, it did. and a lot of present russia social media groups did notice them and they blamed the russian defence ministry for mistakes on the battlefield. but i want to return to vladimir putin to make this point, i used to view putin as a top—notch escape artist, almost a kremlin version of harry houdini. who, no matter

how many ropes or chains were tying him up, he always seem to get out of the most difficult situation but that seemed to change after this decision to invade ukraine which is not gone according to plan. and there is a problem here, i think, for vladimir putin because when an authoritarian leader starts to lose that aura of invincibility then that can be very dangerous. anthony billington has also been speaking about the situation in ukraine, acknowledging that their forces have made significant progress as they retake that ground. anthony blinken. he believe the

conflict would continue, certainly, for now. litany colonel daniel davis is from the foreign policy think tank defence priorities and asked if he could have foreseen the ukrainian gains around kharkiv. i did not think that ukraine was going to go there. i really thought that they were going to go most of their effort in the south. it looked like they actually wanted russia to think that because russia had actually moved troops from the kharkiv area down south into the kherson area. they succeeded down there, the russians, because they took extraordinary casualties on the ukrainians. but the weakness further north whether ukraine went in with a large number of forces than russia had in the entire area, it was easy to rout them out. so we must keep in mind, however, that they were not that many russian

troops up there and even though there is a huge number of square kilometres that have been captured it is not quite a significant strategically as it appears on the ground. that is an interesting _ appears on the ground. that is an interesting point. _ appears on the ground. that is an interesting point. the i an interesting point. the figures do look startling. i think they were talking about outnumbering russians eight to one which sounds phenomenal, really. so what do you think, then,is really. so what do you think, then, is the likely response from russia now? we can't expect them to draw a line and say we won't return there. looking at russia historically and it putin specifically they always respond with something. i don't see any chance that vladimir putin willjust say dana got me. he will have some of response and retaliatory move and i expect they will put more effort into don bas or they may even try to go to a

local —— liberalisation which they have refused to do at this point. ifeel confident they have refused to do at this point. i feel confident that there will be something and, under any circumstances, as i published a little while ago, today, this war has a long way today, this war has a long way to go. today, this war has a long way to no. ., today, this war has a long way to o, ., ,, today, this war has a long way to o. ., ,, . to go. you speak about potentially _ to go. you speak about | potentially mobilisation. to go. you speak about i potentially mobilisation. very interesting move to make when there is a sense that, perhaps, morale within the russian forces at the moment is probably pretty low. anytime you are defeated like that, anyone will have the morale diminished. just like the ukrainians did when they lost marigold. yet they were able to recover from that and that is how wars go. —— mariupol. they are not going to fold and collapse. they got together and they stopped and they made a counter—attack we can probably in the weeks and months ahead that russia will do the same

thing because, as you pointed out, they still have around hundred 70,000, 200,000 troops in ukraine on right now they are not going anywhere. while they have troops of that scale in those numbers, we have been looking at some of the debris and damage in destroyed tanks et cetera and ordinance. isn't really a market amount of kit that they are losing order they have plenty in reserve? fight; have plenty in reserve? any time you — have plenty in reserve? any time you lose _ have plenty in reserve? any time you lose that - have plenty in reserve? in; time you lose that amount have plenty in reserve? jifuy time you lose that amount of stuff it will hurt but they do have thousands more armoured vehicles, tanks and artillery pieces and armoured personnel carriers in their inventory that they could call upon. but some of those losses were the modern team 90 tex. they did not expect to have to move so quickly when the force came in theirfrom the quickly when the force came in their from the west they did not have time to get them boxed up not have time to get them boxed up and ready to go travel back over so they lost, it will hurt, there is no doubt about

that. ., ., ., ., that. lou tennant colonel david davis talking — that. lou tennant colonel david davis talking to _ that. lou tennant colonel david davis talking to me _ that. lou tennant colonel david davis talking to me earlier. i davis talking to me earlier. returning now to events here in the united kingdom and we will look at what is to come over the next few days and as we have been hearing, the queen is lying and rest overnight at st giles cathedral in edinburgh but later in the day on tuesday her coffin will be moved from there to edinburgh airport and then by plane to raf northolt on the edge of london and then by car into london itself. the queen will spend a final night at buckingham palace. on wednesday the coffin will travel to the palace of westminster where crowds will be able to watch is that cortez makes its journey through central london. —— cortege. hundreds of thousands of members of the public can and are indeed expected to pay their respects. on sunday there will be a one—minute across the uk at 8pm and then on monday

the queen's lying in state will end in the coffin will be taken to westminster abbey for a state funeral which is a bank holiday in the uk. large crowds are expected, there are warnings that people may have to wait for hours or even overnight. lucy manning has more details on the preparations from the capital. if you can measure love and respect in flowers, in people, then this is quite a statement. london's green park now the park of many colours. the powerful scent of flowers hanging in the air. but however many are here now will be dwarfed by the numbers who will stand in a very british way for hours and hours through the days and nights to file past the queen's coffin. people who make it to westminster hall where the queen's body will lie in state have been told to expect very long queues. the fear is they could last up to 24 hours and mourners have been warned they may have

to wait overnight. if the lines are too long they could be paused so that people are unable tojoin. people have been asked to dress respectfully, no flowers, cameras or filming allowed. camping out on the mall since saturday, maria from newcastle plans to stay for the lying in state and funeral. she gave 70 years of service to us and this is the least i could do to pay my respects to the queen. she done so much for us as a country, so i have got to do it. i feel that is my duty to do it. vanessa hopes to be the first in the queue. home, a bench on lambeth bridge, until they open the doors. our part is to say the last goodbye. it is very sad but i wanted to make sure i will be part of it and start queueing up from today as i heard the queues are going to be very long.

more details on the route for the queue are due shortly but it is likely to begin near a park by tower bridge and travel a couple of miles up the thames, passing the london eye at the palace of westminster, then across lambeth bridge. amanda and moira came to lay flowers but hope to return for the lying in state. it is once—in—a—lifetime and you just want to be part of it. are you prepared to be in those — what are going to be very long queues? that is the thing. we are made of strong stuff so we will put it to the test. yes, we will give it a go. laughter. but there are some predictions that crowds could reach up to a million in the coming days. we put a little note to say thank you for all that she's done. and love all of our names. do you think you are going to come down for the lying in state with the family? i don't think we will because i think it will be a bit too busy for the kids. yeah. i think that is why we came down today because it is nice and relaxing today,

like the calm before the storm, before it gets really busy. it will be an enormous operation for the transport system and the police — the met�*s commissioner on his first day in the job. it's a massive challenge for the metropolitan police and for me personally, but we have been preparing for many, many years. the ceremony will soon be replaced with simplicity as the quiet walk past the queen's coffin begins. lucy manning, bbc news. that quiet walk past the coffin is continuing in edinburgh. st giles cathedral. this is the scene right now at 26 minutes past 3am and still people pass. earlier in the day, thousands were lining the street to see the cortege itself. a scotland editor has been speaking to some of those who came to pay

their respect within us. his report does contain flashing images. in the heart of edinburgh this afternoon, an ancient ritual in the modern age. this nation changed beyond measure in the time of elizabeth and now there is a sense of a country at a crossroads. we've lost a good leader. a lady that served her country well, 96 years and worked right until two days before she passed. what do you think of the new king? i've got mixed views upon the king. i think he's got big shoes to fill. i'm here because it's an historical moment for all british citizens or people who live here, so i feel it's very important because it's a big part, she was a big part of our history. why are you here today? because i am a proud patriot of my own country. the monarchy holds a place to hold tradition, you know what i mean, and pride that i feel has gone out the window. there's not a lot of patriots left in britain and scotland any more.

what you think of the new king? i think he will be a great king. i hope he brings some more modern things to the royal family, things about the environment, what the king represents and what he has been doing as a prince, i'd like him to bring that up with the royal family. and i look forward to seeing his reign. in 1953, when the queen first came here as monarch, the streets were packed. they are thronged again today. there is clear support for elizabeth here, but what does this tell us about the future of this country? edinburgh, queen elizabeth's northern capital, prepares to greet her majesty. from the start, the queen clearly felt a deep affinity for scotland and its place in the uk. at her silverjubilee in 1977, she publicly stressed what she called the benefits of union. but in recent times, support for independence has surged. if the union with scotland

in particular, but also the united kingdom as we know it is to be preserved, then the monarch has a role to play, the monarch will obviously want to try and maintain what has been there for centuries. how does support for the monarchy in scotland break down by party? yes, so there's clear differences. if you are talking to people who tend to support the conservative party, support is in the high 70s. if you're talking to people who support the liberal democrats and labour, it is in the 605. but if you're talking to people who support the snp, then support is much lower, in the high 205. and yet the snp is in favour of the monarchy, even if they achieve an independent scotland? yes, there is a distinction between what the party leadership has said and what supporters of independence actually want. there, you find more tepid

support for the monarchy. not here, though, not tonight, as thousands queued to file past the queen's coffin. people are saying, you could have watched it at home in comfort, on the television, and we could have. but this is history and we will never do this again. we are wearing our tartan. this is a very emotional time. she was quite an incredible lady. we felt as though we knew her, even though we never saw her. very sorry for you, your majesty. i and so, as her son the king mourns, the people offer comfort. james cook, bbc news at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh. james cook, bbc news at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh. a national day of mourning has

been held in australia to be held three days after the state funeral. the country's parliament proclaimed chelsea third as its head of state. in sydney, crowds gathered to remember the queen who visited 16 times during her reign. our australia correspondence look5 australia correspondence looks at her relationship with the country and its people. archive: welcome to this continent i which is ours and yours. welcome to australia. welcome, the queen. february 1954, queen elizabeth ii becomes the only reigning monarch to visit australia. it was a great day for those of us who had the luck orforesight to be in sydney. the 27—year—old sovereign and her naval officer husband, prince philip, were no longerjust distant figures, as australians got a glimpse of their head of state the first time. it is my earnest hope that during the two months of my visit i shall get to know you well and learn something of your

achievements and your problems. the queen also got a taste of the aussie lifestyle. archive: and for a bit of a contrast, it was i saturday afternoon at bondi beach. that's where half of sydney goe5 for surf riding and sunbathing. when the queen's ship, the gothic, sailed into the harbour here in sydney, it was a defining moment in the country's history. now, after her death, australians have mixed emotions — a profound sadness at the loss of the only monarch most people here have known and hope for the king's reign. god save the king. all: god save the king. king charles iii is now australia's ruling monarch and head of state. but his mother's absence is deeply felt here. a bit emotional. like, its still surreal that she's passed away, but now we've got the king charles. sad and happy, you know, the queen's gone, but there's a new king. ijust hope it goes

well for charlie. i grew up singing 'god i save the queen', and today was the first time for us to sing i "god save the king." i'm so proud of charles, but my heart aches for the queen. i # waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda. there were many memorable moments during her visits. notjust the grand events, but the outpouring of welcome and warmth among the crowds, and, of course, the endless bouquets. there were also some controversial encounters. former prime minister paul keating was nicknamed the lizard of oz when he did this. archive: ..his arm - around the royal waist. the gatherings weren't always friendly. there have been these protests and i think they will continue from now on, until we get rid of the monarchy. republicans have long rejected a foreign sovereign being their head of state. but when the issue was put to the people in 1999 in a referendum, australians chose to stick with the queen and the no vote won.

leading the republican side was malcolm turnbull, who later became prime minister. i have no doubt there will be another referendum. i said the next time we vote on this will not be before the end of the queen's reign, ok? the queen's reign has ended, but that doesn't mean there'll be a referendum next week or next year. the case for a republic in australia has got nothing to do with the personality of the monarch. the issue is simply, do you think our head of state should be an australian citizen or the monarch of another country? that's the question. during her tours, the queen met first nations people as well as elders. while many indigenous australians have mourned her death, others spoke of the trauma of colonisation and the painful legacy of the crown. the queen's final visit to australia was in 2011 just after floods

and a cyclone hit queensland. we are here to play tribute to the resilience and courage of queenslanders who bravely picked up their lives and rebuilt them after a period of great adversity. cannon fire australia will remember the queen not only as the much—respected and admired monarch and head of state, but also as a true friend of the country and its people. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. other commonwealth countries with the — other commonwealth countries with the cleaner— other commonwealth countries with the cleaner was _ other commonwealth countries with the cleaner was head i other commonwealth countries with the cleaner was head of. with the cleaner was head of state — with the cleaner was head of state have _ with the cleaner was head of state have been— with the cleaner was head of state have been flying - with the cleaner was head of state have been flying theirl state have been flying their flags — state have been flying their flags at _ state have been flying their flags at half—mast. - state have been flying their flags at half-mast.- flags at half-mast. that includes _ flags at half-mast. that includes canada - flags at half-mast. that includes canada and i flags at half-mast. that| includes canada and new flags at half—mast— includes canada and new zealand which have already confirmed king charles as at the head of state. that is not the whole story though. in some countries of the commonwealth there is at least a sense of ambivalence about the monarchy and we are joined from barbados now by a member of the republican status transition advisory committee

and is now on the committee reforming the constitution in barbados. we are also joined by a distinguished university professor at the university of ottawa and a former cabinet minister in the quebec government. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. if i could start with you sunaman, because you have taken the plunge is the country and have removed the british monarch as the head of state. it has been a year now. what difference does it make? brute a year now. what difference does it make?— a year now. what difference does it make? ~ ., ., ., does it make? we have moved to become a republic— does it make? we have moved to become a republic about - does it make? we have moved to become a republic about a - does it make? we have moved to become a republic about a year i become a republic about a year ago, and i think it has definitely moved us away from the idea of having a queen or a king as the head of our state, and so i think that we will go forward with this understanding that we are a republican while we still have ties with the united kingdom i think it is a sense of purpose that people have in becoming a republic. do

ou have in becoming a republic. do you have a sense of change of identity within your country's men and women?— identity within your country's men and women? becoming a reublic men and women? becoming a republic would _ men and women? becoming a republic would have _ men and women? becoming a republic would have come i men and women? becoming a republic would have come in l men and women? becoming a l republic would have come in any event. i think it was a move that — we were ready for it. barbados doesn't feel a sense of great pride in their country and the fact that the head of our state now is a barbadian and we can look to add barbadian stem cells can look to become head of state of our country. to become head of state of our count . �* ., , ., , country. although your first president — country. although your first president was _ country. although your first president was the - country. although your first president was the former . president was the former governor—general, is that right? governor-general, is that riuht? . , governor-general, is that riiht? ., , . governor-general, is that riuht? . . ,, right? that is correct. she was the former— right? that is correct. she was the former governor-general. right? that is correct. she was i the former governor-general and the former governor—general and became the president. 50. the former governor-general and became the president.— became the president. so, as centle a became the president. so, as gentle a transition _ became the president. so, as gentle a transition as - became the president. so, as gentle a transition as you - gentle a transition as you could ask for in that regard. if i could come to you now, listening to what sunaman has to say, what you feel about that notion of striking out on independents? the that notion of striking out on independents?— that notion of striking out on independents? the fact is that i know there _ independents? the fact is that i know there is _ independents? the fact is that i know there is a _ independents? the fact is that i know there is a growing -

i know there is a growing number of canadians who would like to abolish the monarchy. i cannot say at this moment if it is a majority or not but it is clear that there are more and more canadians who would like to change for another system. because, canadians, when they were told if they well in favour of the abolishment of the monarchy, they said there was no question of abolishing during the life of queen elizabeth ii but now that she has died i think that that will be a movement — there will be a pressure, a public pressure on the politicians in order to transform the current system. i understand it is something that yes you might clearly be supportive of. i did see one poll that suggested that a good number of canadians, if it will happen, it will not happen for ten or 20 years and perhaps the

greatest threat to monarchy was in difference rather than a passion one way or the other. is that a fair characterisation of the issue in canada today? well, the factors that i personally — i am in favour of in canada but what i am one of the few people in quebec who favour the continuation of the monarchy. let me tell you this. if ever we want to abolish monarchy in canada we will have to proceed through a very demanding, a very complex cultural procedure. that will take time, of course, and at this moment there is no appetite for a constitutional reform. 50, it is not something that could be done tomorrow will be done tomorrow. it will take time but i think there is a current that there is a

movement again and for the abolishment of monarchy that no politician will inaudible. i stand corrected in thinking you might want to abolish the monarchy. we have got to countries here with different perspectives. canada is larger as a country than barbados, of course. how important that is the commonwealth to you and how would you want to develop the role of the commonwealth within your own nation?— role of the commonwealth within your own nation? well, barbados aareed your own nation? well, barbados a . reed to your own nation? well, barbados agreed to remain _ your own nation? well, barbados agreed to remain in _ your own nation? well, barbados agreed to remain in a _ agreed to remain in a commonwealth that was not on the table to remove ourselves so a commonwealth is important to us. we have become a part of it since we were independent and we will remain a part of the commonwealth and it has a role to play in the globe especially a small island

state. how the commonwealth evolves with king charles, we will wait to see that but i think the commonwealth is going to become more democratic. the leadership may perhaps move from being a monarch for someone else, but i want to echo the statements that i think the move around the world is to move away from the monarchy to republic status and a number of countries in the caribbean has been calling for that now. jamaica is on the cusp of that. antigua has signalled within three years able follow that. so, you are seeing a move — a wave of country saying that they will come out of the realm. we will be in the commonwealth, for sure, but we believe the role of the united kingdom. fine sure, but we believe the role of the united kingdom. one last cuestion, of the united kingdom. one last question, benoit, _ of the united kingdom. one last question, benoit, if— of the united kingdom. one last question, benoit, if i _ of the united kingdom. one last question, benoit, ifi could. - question, benoit, if i could. we are hearing that this is almost a domino effect on outlook of the monarchy as much as the commonwealth. do you think it will be the same when

you look at some of the perhaps figure countries like your own canada but also australia, new zealand. if one decides to go it is bound to create a greater hubbubin it is bound to create a greater hubbub in terms of public opinion in the others. the domino — opinion in the others. the domino effect _ opinion in the others. the domino effect could - opinion in the others. ire: domino effect could happen, opinion in the others. iue: domino effect could happen, of course. what i do know, though, is that if there are many countries that discuss the abolition of monarchy, canadians will want to discuss it too. i mean, iam not presuming this decision that canadians will eventually take on this question. there might be a referendum and people might, during this referendum, might, during this referendum, might express the wish to abolish the monarchy. but, of course, canadians would want to debate, and inasmuch as it is important for other countries who have a debate on this

question, canada will not avoid such a debate. i am sure about that. ~ , ., _ such a debate. i am sure about that. ~ , ., ,_, that. well, it is obviously a fascinating _ that. well, it is obviously a fascinating time _ that. well, it is obviously a fascinating time in - that. well, it is obviously a fascinating time in a - that. well, it is obviously a fascinating time in a time | that. well, it is obviously a | fascinating time in a time of reflection, i think it is fair to say, given where we are at the moment. benoit pelletier and suleiman bulbulia, thank you both very much indeed for joining us. from winston churchill to liz truss, her majesty the queen was served by no fewer than 15 prime ministers. borisjohnson prime ministers. boris johnson proceeded prime ministers. borisjohnson proceeded liz truss and formally resigned just two days before the queen died. in a series of interviews we will be showing over the next two days my colleague fiona bruce spoke to former prime minister about their memories of the monarch and she started by asking boris johnson about his last meeting with queen elizabeth. the johnson about his last meeting with queen elizabeth.- with queen elizabeth. the last audience i _ with queen elizabeth. the last audience i had _ with queen elizabeth. the last audience i had with _ with queen elizabeth. the last audience i had with her, - with queen elizabeth. the last audience i had with her, one l with queen elizabeth. the last| audience i had with her, one of the reasons it was so shocking on the eighth to hear about her

but she conducted herself with such extraordinary grace and dignity, and she has now found a very important place in the hearts of the british people. these are heavy burdens both beer and they need each other. and all great monarchs have had a great consort.— a great consort. together in their 20s — a great consort. together in their 20s until _ a great consort. together in their 20s until the _ their 20s until the relationship faulted, she was a significant digger in the king's like longerfor significant digger in the king's like longer for their marriage. she faced criticism after the royal divorce then the sudden death of diana, princess of wales, it almost camilla to step back. but there was a gradual, carefully managed reemergence into the spotlight, it marked the start of the show —— slow shift in public opinion stop. culminating in the wedding in 2005 supported by the royal family, she was now one of them. it family, she was now one of them. :, , , :, family, she was now one of them. ., , , ., , them. it has been a turbulent 'ourne them. it has been a turbulent journey through _ them. it has been a turbulent journey through public life - them. it has been a turbulent journey through public life or| journey through public life or the queen consort. but camilla

she has been a constant in all our lives _ she has been a constant in all our lives for over 70 years. hello again. monday brought us some large temperature contrasts across the uk. we had cool north—westerly winds dragging some chillier air into northern scotland, but warmerair coming up from france, boosting

the temperatures across southern parts of both england and wales. and the warmest spot was actually london — we had temperatures reach as high as 27 degrees celsius in the sunshine here. we also had some sunshine in shetland, but it was a cooler kind of day — temperatures reached around iii degrees through the course of the afternoon. and between the cool air in the north and that warmer air in the south, we had a weather front bringing some rain on and off for much of the day across north—west england and north wales. now that weather front continues to slide southwards, where it becomes slow—moving, so a lot of cloud across southern portions of the uk with a few patches of light rain and drizzle, a bit misty, a bit of fog over the hills and coasts, too. but mild in the south — otherwise, colder air spreading across scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, too. now, for tuesday, this weather front will still going to be with us across the far south of england. the closer you are to the south coast, the more likely you are to see rain at some point during the day. but through the day, this rain band will push northwards — the question mark is how far north it gets.

it could get as far north as cardiff, say, or it could just stay to the south. now, away from that, north wales, across much of the midlands, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, a fine day with spells of sunshine. just a few showers for the northwest of scotland, temperatures typically high teens to low 20s. there is still the threat of a little rain from the same weather front wednesday morning, but that will then clear out of the way. and again, the bulk of the uk having another fine day with sunny spells. again, a few showers here and there, particularly across the northwest of scotland, where it will start to turn a little bit cooler — 17 for glasgow and belfast, still into the low 20s further south across england and wales. some slightly stronger north—northwesterly winds with us for thursday, bringing more widespread showers across scotland, and a few running down the north sea coasts of england, as well. those winds dragging some cooler air, sojust 13 degrees in aberdeen on thursday. temperatures dropping a bit further south, generally into the teens rather than the low 20s. but there will still be lots of dry weather through friday and into the weekend. a tendency again for it to turn just a little bit cooler and fresher, with temperatures in manchester around 15 degrees or so. that's your latest weather.

opinion and there was no shortage of public affection for the new king as he progressed down the royal mile to his official residence, where the coffin of his late mother has been lying at rest. that the king has chosen to begin his reign with visits to edinburgh, belfast and cardiff, is telling, suggesting the future of the union is at the heart of his concerns. the early decades of his late mother's reign were characterised by the long, slow contraction of british imperial power around the world. he will be alert to the possibility that his own reign could come to be defined by the continuation of that process here, and the eventual dissolution of the uk itself. bagpipes skirl. but all that is for another day. a bearer party of the royal regiment of scotland brought the queen's coffin from holyroodhouse back into public view. for today, the eyes of the world intrude on private sorrow, as the queen's family

queen of scots. we are grateful for her life. may she now rest in peace. my mother felt, as i do, the greatest admiration for the scottish people, for their magnificent achievements, and their indomitable spirit, and it was the greatest comfort for her to know, in turn, the true affection in which she was held. the knowledge of that deep and abiding bond must be to us a solace, as we mourn the end of a life of incomparable service. tonight, the king, his sister and his brothers stood in silent vigil at their mother's coffin.

in life, queen elizabeth came to embody that deep and abiding bond the king evoked, the bond of a shared history, and a common identity across the united kingdom. what will remain of that legacy, when this period of mourning is over, and she recedes into the middle distance of our collective memory? that question will be at the heart of the new reign that began when she died. allan little, bbc news, edinburgh. it has already been a busy and challenging reign. king charles visited the westminster parliament for the first time since taking the throne earlier than the day. along with the queen concert that can had messages of condolences before

new responsibilities. as i stand before you today, i cannot help but feel the weight of history, which surrounds us, and which reminds us of the vital parliamentary traditions to which members of both houses dedicate yourselves with such personal commitment for the betterment of us all. 10 years ago, the late queen had addressed parliamentarians in westminster hall during her diamond jubilee. she had spoken about the long span of british history. i have been privileged to witness some of that history, and with the support of my family, re—dedicate myself to the service of our great country and its people, now, and in the years to come. today, the late queen's son committed himself to follow her example.

her late majesty pledged herself to serve her country and her people, and to maintain the precious principles of constitutional government, which lie at the heart of our nation. this vow she kept with unsurpassed devotion. she set an example of selfless duty, which, with god's help and your counsels', i am resolved faithfully to follow. the parliamentarians sang the national anthem, sung now for the king, charles iii. nicholas witchell, bbc news. and we will get some more reaction in a moment, not least from ireland in fact. we will go there to see how they have responded to the death of the

queen. now, ukraine says it has taken as many as 20 towns and villages in the east of the country in the space of justice, 2a hours with russian in retreat. russia did hit back with missile strikes on the city of kharkiv, causing some blackouts, but president putin's tactics have been criticised by one of the leading military commander is fighting on the ground. officially, the kremlin says its forces are regrouping. this was the situation just a week ago, with russia still in control of much of the east of the country. you can see that area in red there. mapping that 24—hour period shows gains by the ukrainians in the period and down as far south as izyium. james waterhouse this report. war can be both symbolic, as well as significant. slava ukraini. and today was just that. russian ambitions

once again abandoned. moscow calls this a regrouping. it's more like a retreat, and a quick one. kyiv is claiming to have taken back almost all of the kharkiv region. even russian officials admit to being outnumbered by eight to one here. "izyum was, is and always will be ukraine", says this soldier. this is territory which russia fought hard to take, lost in the space of days. translation: we met them with tears in our eyes. - we could not imagine that they would come so unexpectedly, but we have been waiting for them almost half a year, and we are so happy. whenever russia is frustrated, it responds. this time, accused of striking civilian targets. a major power station, reduced to this... ..causing trains to stop

working on kharkiv�*s metro. forsome, much more was lost than just power. ukraine is pushing on more than one front. that has risks but it is enough to worry one of putin's biggest allies, chechen leader ramzan kadyrov. "if changes are not made," he said in an online post, "i will be forced to go to the country's leadership." this is the most significant russian withdrawal since they pulled out from kyiv in late march. the human costs for both countries remains huge and on whether it is a price worth paying, the majority of ukrainians feel there is no choice. this is about survival, and the idea of making any concessions to russia remains unfathomable. the kremlin anticipated taking ukraine in a matter of days.

201 of them later, it is going backwards. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. let's go back to events in the uk and we look at what to come in the next few days. the queen lies and rest overnight at saint charles cathedral in edinburgh and later on tuesday the coffin will be moved from there to edinburgh airport and then by plane to the role if force base at northolt and then by car to london. the queen will far —— spent a final night at rockingham. on wednesday the coffin will travel to westminster, crowds will be able to watch as the coffin makes that journey through central london. on thursday start of four full days when the body of the queen will lion stated, members of the public

expected to pay respect, on sunday a minute of silence across the uk at eight p.m.. on monday the queen's lying state will come to an end in the coffin will be taken to westminster abbey for a state funeral, a bank holiday in the uk. large crowds expected and many people i want they could wait many hours if not overnight. if you can measure love and respect in flowers, in people, then this is quite a statement. london's green park now the park of many colours. the powerful scent of flowers hanging in the air. but however many are here now will be dwarfed by the numbers who will stand in a very british way for hours and hours through the days and nights to file past the queen's coffin. people who make it to westminster hall where the queen's body will lie in state have been

told to expect very long queues. the fear is they could last up to 2a hours and mourners have been warned they may have to wait overnight. if the lines are too long they could be paused so that people are unable tojoin. people have been asked to dress respectfully, no flowers, cameras or filming allowed. camping out on the mall since saturday, maria from newcastle plans to stay for the lying in state and funeral. she gave 70 years of service to us and this is the least i could do to pay my respects to the queen. she done so much for us as a country, so i have got to do it. i feel that is my duty to do it. vanessa hopes to be the first in the queue. home, a bench on lambeth bridge, until they open the doors. our part is to say the last goodbye. it is very sad but i wanted to make sure i will be part of it and start

queueing up from today as i heard the queues are going to be very long. more details on the route for the queue are due shortly but it is likely to begin near a park by tower bridge and travel a couple of miles up the thames, passing the london eye at the palace of westminster, then across lambeth bridge. amanda and moira came to lay flowers but hope to return for the lying in state. it is once—in—a—lifetime and you just want to be part of it. are you prepared to be in those — what are going to be very long queues? that is the thing. we are made of strong stuff so we will put it to the test. yes, we will give it a go. laughter. but there are some predictions that crowds could reach up to a million in the coming days. we put a little note to say thank you for all that she's done. and love all of our names. do you think you are going to come down for the tying in state with the family? i don't think we will

because i think it will be a bit too busy for the kids. yeah. i think that is why we came down today because it is nice and relaxing today, like the calm before the storm, before it gets really busy. it will be an enormous operation for the transport system and the police — the met�*s commissioner on his first day in the job. it's a massive challenge for the metropolitan police and for me personally, but we have been preparing for many, many years. the ceremony will soon be replaced with simplicity as the quiet walk past the queen's coffin begins. lucy manning, bbc news. the death of the queen is being marked in island with any government buildings flying the irish tricolour at half—mast. her visit to the country was seen by many as a landmark in the relation between the two countries. in the city of cork many people remember the visit of the queen with great

affection. our correspondence is there and sent this report. she had a way about her that brought out the best in cork. warm, open, a place to bind old wounds with humour. joking in the city's english market with the legendary fishmonger. he knew he was part of a transformational moment. you could go on forever being bitter and forever arguing over something that happened a hundred years ago or whatever. there's a time to say, "it's history." we will remember it. it was horrible stuff when it happened, but let's make our own little bit of history and move things forward. the visit to ireland was about the formal gestures, the queen bowing her head to the dead of the irish revolution in dublin, a gesture unimaginable in the long years of the troubles. when i met him in cork, ireland's taoiseach told me the queen had provided a powerful example of reconciliation. i thought it was a very

poignant moment. i thought it was an extraordinary moment that the british head of state would come and honour and respect those who fought and died in the irish war of independence. it was a great, great gesture, and more than a gesture, an act that really meant a lotto people. it was in cork that the queen met the heart of ireland. have you enjoyed your trip? very much. building peace through the power of the purely human. 100 years ago, the ruins of war dominated cork. parts of the city destroyed by british forces. these memorials to two of its lord mayors — one assassinated by undercover police, his successor died on hunger strike in a britishjail. yet, above the city hall today, a symbol of change. the irish flag flying at half—mast for a british

queen. inside, a book of condolence filled with warm messages for the monarch and her family. affection for the queen here is deeply rooted in her support for the peace process. her death comes at a time when relations between the republic and united kingdom are more strained than they have been for decades, with the row over the northern ireland protocol. the messages call her a healer, a peacemaker. your hope is that this extraordinary moment in history with this period of mourning provides the opportunity for a reset in what are, let's admit it, pretty difficult anglo—irish relations at the moment. yes, i would like to think the visit of queen elizabeth ii to ireland, her passing, will give us all time for reflection and will remind us of the need to proactively nurture the relationship between britain and ireland to enhance it in the time ahead, and that this moment

gives us that opportunity for reflection and resetting, in a good way, that relationship. but what does a younger generation feel? i went back to a history class in my old school in cork. but freedom is suggested in that parliament... there was this message for the people in britain. keep your head up. all the fighting is beyond us now. we can befriends again and just mourn together. what he does for us as well, we're in tough water now. so you want to see him follow in his mother's example in reconciliation? yes, keep the peace. it was often said the queen was above politics. perhaps in ireland it's more apt to say she expressed its most noble purpose, to offer hope out of

the accumulated grief of history. it's been another extraordinary 24—hour. we leave you with the key images of another historic day. song in gaelic. she set an example of selfless duty. song in gaelic.

she has been a constant in all of our— she has been a constant in all of our lives for over 70 years. commonwealth countries where the queen was head of state had been flying flags at half—mast among them canada and new zealand which have confirmed king charles as their new head of state. that's not the whole story for the commonwealth, some countries at the very least have shown some ambivalent about the monarchy and to find out more about that i have been speaking to a member of the republicans status transition advisory committee in barbados, they have dropped the monarch as the head of straight. also to a distinguished university professor at the university of officer ——. i made suleiman

what difference it has made to barbados and becoming a republic? it barbados and becoming a republic?— barbados and becoming a reublic? ., , ., , barbados and becoming a reublic? ., , ., republic? it has moved us away from the idea _ republic? it has moved us away from the idea of— republic? it has moved us away from the idea of having - republic? it has moved us away from the idea of having a - republic? it has moved us away from the idea of having a king, | from the idea of having a king, as barbadian 's i think we will go forward with this understanding we are a republic and while we still recognise the united kingdom, it is a new sense of purpose from becoming a republic. flan sense of purpose from becoming a republic-— a republic. can you feel a sense of— a republic. can you feel a sense of a _ a republic. can you feel a sense of a change - a republic. can you feel a sense of a change of- a republic. can you feel a i sense of a change of identity within your country and women? definitely, becoming a republic was a great event, we were 55 years as an independent country last year and it was a move and peer will be ready for it, barbados and is can feel better pride in their country, they are barbadian is in can look to, barbadian is can look to becoming head of state of our

ii. but now that she has died, ii. but now that she has died, i think there will be a movement, there will be a pressure, a popular pressure, on the politicians, in order to transform the current system. i understand it is something you might be supportive of, i saw one poll that suggested a good number of canadians felt if it is going to happen it won't happen for ten or 20 years and perhaps the greatest threat to monarchy was in difference rather than a passion one way or another, rather than a passion one way oranother, is rather than a passion one way or another, is that a fair characterisation of the issue in canada today? the characterisation of the issue in canada today?— characterisation of the issue in canada today? the fact is, i am in favour _ in canada today? the fact is, i am in favour of _ in canada today? the fact is, i am in favour of monarchy i in canada today? the fact is, i am in favour of monarchy for i am in favour of monarchy for canada, i am one of the few quebecers, who favour the few quebecers, who favour the continuation of the monarchy, let me tell you this, if ever we want to abolish

monarchy in canada we will have to proceed through a very demanding, a very complex constitutional procedure, that will take time, of course, and at this moment there is no appetite for constitutional reform. so it is not something that could be done tomorrow, not that it would be done tomorrow, it will take time but i think there is a movement again, infavour of i think there is a movement again, in favour of the abolishment of monarchy, that no politt —— that no politician will be able to ignore. louie no politt -- that no politician will be able to ignore. we were talkin: to will be able to ignore. we were talking to the _ will be able to ignore. we were talking to the lecturer - will be able to ignore. we were talking to the lecturer in - talking to the lecturer in ottawa and a friend solomon and barbados. let's go back to the events of the day as the period of national mourning continues.

this is going to be a moment of emotion. there is an atmosphere of greatjoy, really, the atmosphere of the queen's life which is the point of the service at st giles'. now we see the coffin of her late majesty. the bearer party from

the royal regiment of scotland, the king in the uniform of a field marshal, british army. full ceremonial uniform. the

bearer party moves away. a quiet has descended on at the palace of holyroodhouse. because it is at the moment that the palace says farewell to queen elizabeth ii. the king 's bodyguard, as it now is, forms after each side of the hearse. the royal company of archers. the high constables of holyrood in their places under the colonnade, always here when the colonnade, always here when the sovereign is in residence.

and soon, slowly, the procession will make its way up the royal mile to st giles'. through those crowds we will be remembering at the sight of the hearse, and file queen's coffin, the sombre nature of this occasion. for all, the feeling of thanksgiving and the sense of happiness about this city, looking at its best and preparing to to its former sovereign proud. now, the true nature of this location is real to everyone and they are reminded why we are here. his majesty the king, his assistant at the princess royal unit the uniform of and admirable. the

duke of york his brother not wearing the military uniform because he is the longer a working royal. he will wear a uniform at the bejewel at westminster hall as a mark of respect to the queen but not on the other occasions. and the earl of wessex, and the earl of inverness. the queen for children will walk with the hearse. the procession begins at a stately pace across the

forecourt of the palace. we have just seen so much royal history over the years. the start, really, of a procession that will take us right through the tying of state and westminster hall to the funeral itself next monday and the departure from london for windsor and then in st george's chapel. when the king and the

queen consort drove down this road only an hour and a half or so ago, there was quite a bit of smiling and waving. that has gone. this is now a procession of deep solemnity, and remembrance. slowly, with great dignity, the

hearse comes up the hill, and at each point, these proud to have been waiting here for many hours see for the first time the coffin carrying the late queen. it is as if these streets have filled again, as they always are, during the festival weeks, they always are, during the festivalweeks, but they always are, during the festival weeks, but for very different purpose with a different purpose with a different demeanour and with quite a different sound. voices are lowered. some heads are bowed. and there is, in the streets of the scottish capital

today, an atmosphere of abiding respect and gratitude which, as the comes a sound from edinburgh castle, is the spirit of this afternoon's proceedings. it is a service of thanksgiving and reflection, is the of and that is the feeling of thanksgiving that the citizens of edinburgh and those who have come from far and wide and abroad are representing today in these ancient streets. the

heralds, magnificent in their tunics, are by the west door. the marchman terrell, the herald of arms, the focal pursuivant extraordinary, the lithgow extraordinary, at times with great historical relevance in scotland. and the unicorn pursuivant of arms, and the unicorn being the national animal of scotland sits atop the cross where the

proclamation was read. the ormond pursuivant, they are all there, representatives of the industry of this country. also at the west steps we have copy lord chamberlain, newly appointed lord chamberlain. his previous role was director—general of the security service mi5. the captain general of the king 's body lard port scotland, the royal company of archers, men in the great green uniforms — richard the duke of queensbury. also that the king of arms. doctorjoseph morrow, it was his first that we heard delivering the proclamation yesterday at the mercat cross. a solemn moment as her late majesty is born into st giles'

cathedral, the high kirk of edinburgh. the roots of this procession has opened up fighting for anyone who has followed it up at the royal mile, the history of the city, the history of kings and queen's of course, religious upheaval, political upheaval, also a history of enlightenment. this is the city of enlightenment. voltaire was called it the massive lie city in europe. there is a statue of david hume at the great philosopherjust up the street

from the cathedral. we can't go far into this city without coming across this great isth—century figures. the statue of adam smith which the procession passed a few moments ago. and they all knew these streets as well as we do.

hello there. the weather on monday starts to turn a little bit cooler across northern areas of scotland, with temperatures dropping — whereas across southern parts of england and wales with sunshine, it actually got warmer. temperatures hit 27 degrees in the centre of town. right now, we've got a lot of cloud pushing southwards, a cold front bringing the threat of a few patches of rain across southern parts of england. otherwise, we've got a lot of dry weather with clearing skies, and so it'll be really quite a chilly start to the day on tuesday, with temperatures 8-12. but across southern parts of england and wales, still holding on to mild air with a lot of cloud. 15—17 degrees but a damp start for some. now through the day, outbreaks of rain are expected to move in from the south — you're most likely to see the rain towards the south coast of england. it could push as far north as, say, cardiff.

possession to the abbey for the funeral, a bank holiday in the uk on monday. details have been revealed about how people can attend the queen's lying in state. large crowds are expected and there are warnings that people may have to wait many hours, even possibly overnight. ourspecial overnight. our special correspondent has overnight. ourspecial correspondent has more detail on the preparations in the capital. if you can measure love and respect in flowers, in people, then this is quite a statement. london's green park now the park of many colours. the powerful scent of flowers hanging in the air. but however many are here now will be dwarfed by the numbers who will stand in a very british way for hours and hours through the days and nights to file past the queen's coffin. people who make it to westminster hall where the queen's body will lie in state have been told to expect very long queues.

the fear is they could last up to 24 hours and mourners have been warned they may have to wait overnight. if the lines are too long they could be paused so that people are unable tojoin. people have been asked to dress respectfully, no flowers, cameras or filming allowed. camping out on the mall since saturday, maria from newcastle plans to stay for the lying in state and funeral. she gave 70 years of service to us and this is the least i could do to pay my respects to the queen. she done so much for us as a country, so i have got to do it. i feel that is my duty to do it. vanessa hopes to be the first in the queue. home, a bench on lambeth bridge, until they open the doors. our part is to say the last goodbye. it is very sad but i wanted to make sure i will be part of it and start queueing up from today as i heard the queues are going

to be very long. more details on the route for the queue are due shortly but it is likely to begin near a park by tower bridge and travel a couple of miles up the thames, passing the london eye at the palace of westminster, then across lambeth bridge. amanda and moira came to lay flowers but hope to return for the lying in state. it is once—in—a—lifetime and you just want to be part of it. are you prepared to be in those — what are going to be very long queues? that is the thing. we are made of strong stuff so we will put it to the test. yes, we will give it a go. laughter but there are some predictions that crowds could reach up to a million in the coming days. we put a little note to say thank you for all that she's done. and love all of our names. do you think you are going to come down for the tying in state with the family? i don't think we will because i think it will be a bit too busy for the kids. yeah.

i think that is why we came down today because it is nice and relaxing today, like the calm before the storm, before it gets really busy. it will be an enormous operation for the transport system and the police — the met�*s commissioner on his first day in the job. it's a massive challenge for the metropolitan police and for me personally, but we have been preparing for many, many years. the ceremony will soon be replaced with simplicity as the quiet walk past the queen's coffin begins. lucy manning, bbc news. let's ta ke let's take you to st giles's cathedral in edinburgh now where, as you can see, people are continuing to file past the coffin of queen elizabeth ii. they have been coming throughout the night to pay their respects at the cathedral in the scottish capital. it is

moving fairly quickly as you can see, but that is once they are inside the cathedral but the queues are very lengthy outside. it does take some time. as you are just hearing there, the anticipation of london is that it could be thousands upon thousands of people hoping to do exactly what these are doing right now in st giles's cathedral when in westminster. just to show you that the cop in their is covered in the royal standard which represents the sovereign and united kingdom. in scotland it has two quarters with the scottish redline, three lines for england, a heart, a different version though, and you can see the crown of scotland placed their on top, which is a

circlet made from scottish gold. it has 22 gemstones and scottish freshwater pearls. that is what is happening right now in saint giles and edinburgh. laterthis now in saint giles and edinburgh. later this morning, king charles iii and camilla, queen consort will fly to belfast, and then depart for hillsborough castle by car. they will then be a walkabout at the castle before the king has an audience with senior politicians. after meeting with religious leaders from all of the major faiths, religious leaders from all of the majorfaiths, the king and queen consort will attend a service of prayer and reflection at saint ann's cathedral. then they will travel to belfast city airport where they will border plane for london before meeting the queen's often at buckingham palace. that is the day ahead for king charles iii.

across northern ireland and across belfast, different communities have a very different relationship with the crown, and with a woman who wore it for 70 years. here in the shankle road this unionist mural created for the platinum jubilee this summer is now a memorial. adding his tribute is a man who served 16 years in the british army. the fingers, when you _ the british army. the fingers, when you take _ the british army. the fingers, when you take the _ the british army. the fingers, when you take the oath i the british army. the fingers, when you take the oath of i when you take the oath of allegiance, you take that over four her majesty to serve and protect her, and, yeah, it hit home is to know these people, know that the group is a massive, big family. it has hit hard. the queen was a constant in peoples' lives, the generations.- in peoples' lives, the generations. in peoples' lives, the uenerations. ,, ., ., , generations. she was a really amazin: generations. she was a really amazing woman. _ generations. she was a really amazing woman. she - generations. she was a really amazing woman. she always| generations. she was a really i amazing woman. she always had a good _ amazing woman. she always had a good fashion sense about her. i loved _ good fashion sense about her. i loved always seeing her wee outfit — loved always seeing her wee outfit. every time you saw her on tv, — outfit. every time you saw her on tv, mograni, mograni lotto. it won't — on tv, mograni, mograni lotto.

reconciliation, between the different traditions on a wild and between ireland and britain between the years of the peace process. it is appropriate that this is rightfully recognised in this chamber today. i recognise that she was a courageous and gracious leader stomp with the late deputy 1st minister mike mcguinness and i met with the queen in 2012, during her time met with the queen in 2012, during hertime in met with the queen in 2012, during her time injubilee and thereafter at windsor castle during the state visit of the president of ireland michael bay huygens in 2014, her warmth, kindness and unfailing courtesy towards us was appreciated. as he returns to northern ireland today as monarch for the first time, the king will be following a legacy respected by so many people right across this land. sirjohn maguire reporting, anotherfull day ahead, sirjohn maguire reporting, another full day ahead, we will have more on that a little late in the programme, let's bring you our other main use. ukraine

says it has retaken as many as 20 towns and villages in the east of the country in the space of the last 24—hour is. russian troops are in retreat, russian troops are in retreat, russia hit back with missile strikes on the city of kharkhiv, causing blackouts but president putin's tactics have been criticised by one of the leading military commanders fighting on the ground. officially the kimmince is its forces are regrouping, not retreating, this was the situation just a week ago with russia still in control of much of the east of the country, the area you can see and read, but if you map in the last 24—hour is it shows significant gains by the ukrainians and people to the east and as far south as is. from the l ukraine correspondent james woodhouse, sent this report from. war can be both symbolic, as well as significant. slava ukraini. and today was just that.

russian ambitions once again abandoned. moscow calls this a regrouping. it's more like a retreat, and a quick one. kyiv is claiming to have taken back almost all of the kharkiv region. even russian officials admit to being outnumbered by eight to one here. "izyum was, is and always will be ukraine", says this soldier. this is territory which russia fought hard to take, lost in the space of days. translation: we met them with tears in our eyes. i we could not imagine that they would come so unexpectedly, but we have been waiting for them almost half a year, and we are so happy. whenever russia is frustrated, it responds. this time, accused of striking civilian targets. a major power station, reduced to this... ..causing trains to stop

working on kharkiv�*s metro. forsome, much more was lost than just power. ukraine is pushing on more than one front. that has risks but it is enough to worry one of putin's biggest allies, chechen leader ramzan kadyrov. "if changes are not made," he said in an online post, "i will be forced to go to the country's leadership." this is the most significant russian withdrawal since they pulled out from kyiv in late march. the human costs for both countries remains huge and on whether it is a price worth paying, the majority of ukrainians feel there is no choice. this is about survival, and the idea of making any concessions to russia remains unfathomable. the kremlin anticipated taking ukraine in a matter of days.

201 of them later, it is going backwards. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. as we have heard moscow 's response to news of ukrainian advancesis response to news of ukrainian advances is to emphasise they are regrouping, our shed and bird set both the long and short—term issues for president putin. short-term issues for president putin. ., . ., short-term issues for president putin. ., ., putin. the reaction from the kremlin today _ putin. the reaction from the kremlin today was _ putin. the reaction from the kremlin today was this i putin. the reaction from the kremlin today was this is i putin. the reaction from the kremlin today was this is no | kremlin today was this is no problem at all. it's quite interesting that vladimir putin made no mention of the russian retreat but territorial losses don't mean they didn't happen, they did, a lot of pro russia media groups and telegram channels did notice that and they blamed the russian defence ministry for mistakes on the battlefield. but i want to go back to vladimir putin and make this point, i used to view

vladimir putin is a top—notch escape artist, most are kremlin version of harry houdini. no matter how many ropes or chains would tie him up he or moral always got out of the most difficult situation and come out on top. all that seem to change after his decision to invade ukraine. which has gone not according to plan, clearly not according to plan, clearly not gone according to plan. and there is a problem here for vladimir putin, because when in authoritarian leader starts to lose that aura of invincibility, that can be very dangerous. forthat invincibility, that can be very dangerous. for that leader. steve rosenberg there, antiblack and has acknowledged ukrainian forces have made significant progress in retaking ground in a counteroffensive against russian troops. —— anthony blackham. he was speaking after talks in mexico, he was quick

simon is the first indigenous person to hold the role of representing the crown in canada. she spoke in ottawa to allergy of international correspondent about her affection and admiration for queen elizabeth. her leadership has always brought calmness to any discussions we have had, and an understanding of what canada was all about, in fact she said her second home was canada. she didn't shy away from commenting on issues that were, for instance, relating to indigenous peoples in canada. colonisation has been a big issue confronting indigenous communities, residential schools have been a huge issue, confronting indigenous communities and the country. where the indigenous children were forcibly taken from their

parents and forced to study in the schools? in parents and forced to study in the schools?— the schools? in these residential _ the schools? in these residential schools, l the schools? in these i residential schools, yes, a very traumatic and horrific experience for many students. and i think that all plays into the conversation about colonisation, the relationship with the crown and indigenous peoples, notjust in canada but in other parts of the world as well, especially in some of the commonwealth countries. did you know they have — commonwealth countries. did you know they have been _ commonwealth countries. did you know they have been repeated i know they have been repeated calls, including many this year, to the queen to apologise, to offer reparations for this history, could she have done more?- for this history, could she have done more? she was loved by canadians _ have done more? she was loved by canadians and _ have done more? she was loved by canadians and indigenous i by canadians and indigenous canadians, but at the same time people recognise that the institution itself had to deal with some of these complex

issues that you are talking about, and those complex issues within the institution continue to be there, knowing that the king, king charles, really did talk about these issues when he was here. ijust believe that having been part in the conversation a few months ago, that the king will be ready to have further discussions. could it be a new _ have further discussions. could it be a new beginning - have further discussions. could it be a new beginning with i have further discussions. could it be a new beginning with king charles iii? i it be a new beginning with king charles m?— charles iii? i think it is a renewed _ charles iii? i think it is a renewed beginning, i charles iii? i think it is a renewed beginning, it i charles iii? i think it is a renewed beginning, it isj charles m? | think it is a | renewed beginning, it is a charles m? | think it is a - renewed beginning, it is a huge issue for us right now, and the fact that the king has said it is a fundamental issue, yes, hopefully this will be a renewed process for others. would an apology help? you know, would an apology help? you know. an — would an apology help? you know, an apology _ would an apology help? ym. know, an apology has to be something that is more than words. an apology has to be followed by action.—

we look inside the times there is a bit information, page ten. people who go are facing this 35—hour — 35 — weight. this is for people who want to pay respects while she was lying instead state in london? two that's right, the queen is anambra, she will be taken down to london and then in westminster hall which is part of the parliament buildings she will lie in state.— will lie in state. this is when the public — will lie in state. this is when the public will _ will lie in state. this is when the public will have - will lie in state. this is when the public will have the i will lie in state. this is when l the public will have the chance to file past. when i say file past you aren't allowed to stop very long. it is a couple of seconds as we saw in edinburgh. and this queue, they are estimating that 350,000 people will come to westminster hall. it could be more.— will come to westminster hall. it could be more. many more are ex-ected it could be more. many more are exoected than — it could be more. many more are expected than that, _ it could be more. many more are expected than that, but - it could be more. many more are expected than that, but that i expected than that, but that point in the article is that

she has been a constant in all of our— she has been a constant in all of our lives for almost 70 years _ hello there. warmer temperatures booster temperatures in the warmest spot was london where we had temperatures as high as 27 degrees. we also had some sunshine for shetland but it was a caller kind of day. temperatures around iii degrees. and between the cool air in the north and that warmer air in the south,

we had a weather front bringing some rain on and off for much of the day across north—west england and north wales. now that weather front continues to slide southwards, where it becomes slow—moving, so a lot of cloud across southern portions of the uk with a few patches of light rain and drizzle, a bit misty, a bit of fog over the hills and coasts, too. but mild in the south — otherwise, colder air spreading across scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, too. now, for tuesday, this weather front will still going to be with us across the far south of england. the closer you are to the south coast, the more likely you are to see rain at some point during the day. but through the day, this rain band will push northwards — the question mark is how far north it gets. it could get as far north as cardiff, say, or it could just stay to the south. now, away from that, north wales, across much of the midlands, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, a fine day with spells of sunshine. just a few showers for the northwest of scotland, temperatures typically high teens to low 20s. there is still the threat of a little rain from the same

weather front wednesday morning, but that will then clear out of the way. and again, the bulk of the uk having another fine day with sunny spells. again, a few showers here and there, particularly across the northwest of scotland, where it will start to turn a little bit cooler — 17 for glasgow and belfast, still into the low 20s further south across england and wales. some slightly stronger north—northwesterly winds with us for thursday, bringing more widespread showers across scotland, and a few running down the north sea coasts of england, as well. those winds dragging some cooler air, sojust 13 degrees in aberdeen on thursday.
