where crowds of people were waiting. there was a spontaneous ripple of applause as the hearse slowly pulled through the gates, beneath the balcony, where just 11 weeks ago the queen had celebrated her platinum jubilee. tonight, her majesty will lay at rest in the bow room overlooking the palace gardens, as members of the royal family and the royal household come to pay their respects. and tomorrow at 2:22 in the afternoon, the coffin will be taken in procession down the mall, to westminster hall, where the queen will lie in state for four days. let's go to jane hill at buckingham palace. the duke of edinburgh used to call buckingham palace the firm's office, jane. it was not particularly the

queen's favoured palace, she much preferred windsor, but i do get a sense tonight that before the queen heads off to light in state tomorrow, this will really be the last occasion, the last night for the family to pay their respects. absolutely, christian, yes, not her majesty's favourite place by any stretch, that is certainly what we were always led to believe, but wherever you are in the world you know where buckingham palace is you know where buckingham palace is you know what it is, you know what it represents, and so it is totemic and it is famous the world which perhaps explains the extraordinary turn out that we had here today, really, really heavy rain now in london, but there were thousands and thousands of people gathered here to watch the queen's coffin arrive. and to see her majesty go through the gates and buckingham palace for the last time, and i thinkjust one thing worth effecting on of that moment, i stood

in the crowd, waiting for exactly that moment that you are looking at now, and i was there for a good half an hour before the cortege actually arrived, before it came down constitution hill, anything that struck me was how entirely quiet it was. thousands and thousands of people, very little talking, no jostling, no pushing, lots of people with their phones up in the air, they wanted to capture that moment, and you could see that ripple of phone lights all around in your pictures there, can't you, but it was so hushed, and it was the sort of calm and hush that i experienced very early on friday morning, so really only a few hours after the news had come through that the queen had died, and i was at the railings at the front of buckingham palace there, watching those first few people put flowers at the railings.

and again there, already at that point, there were many, many, many hundreds of people there, if not thousands, and again it was so quiet, peoplejust standing quietly, calmly, and that is exactly what we had here tonight, as the coffin was driven past us, and then as you referred to, the applause grew and grew. we knew the cortege was on its way because we heard the applause rippling down constitution hill and then as people cops cite of the hearse, that applause grew —— caught sight of. it drove very, very slowly around the victoria memorial there and in through the gates of buckingham palace, where the queen will rest tonight for the very last time, watched over by a rota of chaplains, after herfamily time, watched over by a rota of chaplains, after her family have also again said there goodbyes, greeted by a guard of honourformed by the king's card, but also the new

king and queen consort and many, many other members of the royal family —— king's garden. just family -- king's garden. just reading. _ family -- king's garden. just reading. jane. _ family -- king's garden. just reading, jane, that _ family —— king's garden. just reading, jane, that king charles and the queen consort camilla had just left buckingham palace, at the end of a long day, because he has had a significant day in northern ireland, still claiming terrain the four corners of the united kingdom, but a word tonight on the princess royal, who has been at the side of the coffin throughout its journey from balmoral to edinburgh and again tonight to london, a lot of people have used the word ruling, but duty is grueling, and tonight we should remember that this is a family who are grieving, still coming to terms with the loss of her mother. and yet she has issued this statement tonight, saying that she has been fortified, she has been strengthened by the reaction of the crowds that she has met and the people that she has talked to. easy

she has met and the people that she has talked ta— she has met and the people that she has talked te— has talked to. easy to forget, isn't it, christian _ has talked to. easy to forget, isn't it, christian that _ has talked to. easy to forget, isn't it, christian that there _ has talked to. easy to forget, isn't it, christian that there is a - it, christian that there is a family at the heart of this? this is a family that is public property, it is unlike any other family we know, but, yes, they have lost their mother, their grandmother, their great grandmother. we were reminded of that when we saw many members of the royal family come out at balmoral, are very favoured home, and prince edward, many, many other members of the family looked up to look at the flowers, read some of the cards, and we saw quite a few of them visibly upset, the princesses very upset, having big hugs with their dad, with prince andrew, to comfort them. this was a reminder that it comfort them. this was a reminder thatitis comfort them. this was a reminder that it is a family that has lost a dear loved one, albeit one who can be elevated for living a remarkably

long life, living to the age of 96, but it is great sadness still, and their people around the country and around the world who are all too aware of that, who think of their own loss, and particular effigie covid pandemic, what we have been through and how people have suffered, unable to grieve their loved ones properly. yes, princess and, as you say, the princess royal, the queen's second child, as per her mother's wishes, as we are told, has followed the coffin on that entire journey from balmoral. she sat with her husband in the car immediately behind the hearse and has followed her all the way down here to buckingham palace tonight. and you make a good point, yes, that this is a family grieving tonight and now they are in private and able to do so again without the eyes of the public and the world's media on them. that gaze will return, of

course, tomorrow, wednesday afternoon, when we see the procession from here at the palace, taking the queen's often to westminister hall for four days of lying in state, when the authorities in london here think hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people want to pay their respects. yes. hundreds of thousands of people want to pay their respects.— to pay their respects. yes, 26,000 --eole in to pay their respects. yes, 26,000 people in edinburgh _ to pay their respects. yes, 26,000 people in edinburgh in _ to pay their respects. yes, 26,000 people in edinburgh in the - to pay their respects. yes, 26,000 people in edinburgh in the course l to pay their respects. yes, 26,000 | people in edinburgh in the course of last 2a hours. i think we are going to see something far greater over the next four days. jane hill at buckingham palace thank you very much indeed. as we said, queen's elizabeth's coffin travelled to london from st giles' cathedral in edinburgh, tens of thousands of people filed silently past her coffin in the cathedral over the last day and night. our scotland editor james cook sent this report, on the tributes in scotland.

god bless the queen. god save the king. from the people of scotland... ..to their queen... ..one last act of devotion. for hours, they have queued day and night for a few moments with their queen. moments they will never forget. why do you think it is so emotional, why has it affected you so much, do you think? she's like everybody�*s granny. it's like your granny dying again. she's just everybody�*s granny, isn't she? she's the nation's granny. she just means so much to everybody. it's terrible. i can't stop crying. where do you think her death leaves this country? there's a massive void, a massive void in this country. her personality, her humour, her smile, her love, care and dedication to her family and to this country. the atmosphere is just very serene, very. very serene _ it was just so quiet. everybody was lost in their own

|thoughts, ithink, as well, and| just seeing her was very emotional, very, very emotional. _ what is the significance of this moment in history? well, for many people, it is simply a chance to mourn and to say thank you. for others, it's a powerful reminder of the ties that bind the nation together. but there are different views as well. everybody has a right to protest, however, i think the clear answer... they are making a point about freedom of speech after police made at least two arrests in edinburgh, charging one man who heckled prince andrew. there have been a few people arrested in the last few days for expressing anti—monarchist sentiments in very, very peaceful ways, we are talking, like, people with signs, people just saying, not my king, something like that. in one case, someone was threatened with arrest just for having a blank piece of paper. it's very much about the power of the british state. we are told that we are not allowed to question, this is the wrong time, this is the wrong place. yeah, i personally don't believe in having an unelected head

of state, but i think that we should be able to have a conversation about it. we should be able to have a process to share these views or it change it if that's what people decide. that's how democracy should work. but this evening, all eyes were on this — the last journey. with princess anne accompanying her mother to london. for scotland, the curtain has finally fallen on the era of elizabeth. james cook, bbc news, edinburgh. yeah, such a poignant finaljourney and it has been good the queen has been able to spend this time with the people of scotland, balmoral felt like home to her, and certainly reciprocated over the last few days. earlier, king charles iii

and camilla, the queen consort, travelled to belfast for the king's first visit as monarch to northern ireland. the king and his wife greeted crowds who gathered at hillsborough castle, some of whom had been waiting since early morning. his majesty then went on to meetings with political leaders, including those from the nationalist parties, who want northern ireland to leave the uk and become part of the republic of ireland. our special correspondent allan little reports. it is his 40th visit to northern ireland, so he knows the village of royal hillsborough well, but this is the first time his car has flown the royal standard of the sovereign. the warmth of the public welcome is unmistakable. this is what this tour of the nations is for — direct engagement, informal and relaxed, between the new monarch and the people. they lingered, devoting more time to this than the formal schedule allowed. his late mother famously remarked that she had to be seen to be believed. public visibility is already a hallmark of the new reign. this a gesture of gratitude

for the flowers left in tribute to the queen. god save the king! the royal residence at hillsborough has been at the heart of british and irish affairs for centuries. as they entered for the first time as king and queen consort, the royal artillery fired a 21 gun salute. but inside, there was no disguising the tensions that still prevail here and which have suspended the northern ireland assembly and devolved government. as dignitaries waited in the throne room, subdued, quiet. the king greeted northern ireland's party leaders. sinn fein�*s michelle o'neill spoke to him of his late mother's contribution to the peace process. she played a great role here in terms of reconciliation. it's the end of an era, for sure. those sentiments were echoed more formally in an event that would once have been inconceivable here.

during this period of public mourning... in the throne room at hillsborough castle, the speaker of the northern ireland assembly — sinn fein�*s alex maskey — addressed the king with these words. queen elizabeth was not a distant observer in the transformation and progress of relationships in and between these islands. she personally demonstrated how individual acts of positive leadership can help break down barriers and encourage reconciliation. queen elizabeth showed that a small but significant gesture — a visit, a handshake, crossing the street or speaking a few words of irish — can make a huge difference in changing attitudes and building relationships. in reply, the king said he would follow what he called his mother's shining example. she never ceased to pray for the best of times for this place and its people, whose story she knew,

whose sorrows our family had felt and for whom she had a great affection and regard. my mother felt deeply, i know, the significance of the role she herself played in bringing together those whom history had separated and in extending a hand to make possible the healing of long—held hurts. at st anne's cathedral in belfast, people from all faiths joined the king and queen consort in a service of reflection for the life of queen elizabeth. it is the burden of the monarch to seek to unify, to stake out common ground on which to resolve differences. and here, where the legitimacy of the crown itself is challenged, the differences remain stark.

liz truss sat beside the irish taoiseach, micheal martin, engaged in conversation, for they too have differences to resolve. that the new reign has begun with visits to scotland, northern ireland and, on friday, wales is a statement of intent, an intention to put the future of the union at the heart of his purpose as king. at a time when many of the traditional bonds of union are weakening, to draw the four nations of the kingdom into a cohesive whole. allan little, bbc news, belfast. you are watching bbc news. ukraine's president zelensky is urging his western allies to speed up deliveries of weapon supplies to help his troops consolidate control of the territory

they've seized back from russia in a lightning counter—offensive over the last few days. analysts say moscow has largely given up land gained around kharkiv in the north—east — and troops have been pulled back over the border. ukraine says it has retaken around 2,400 square miles of territory so far this month. james waterhouse reports. here is ian bremmer, a political scientist and president of the eurasia group, to tell us more. nice to see you. i've been hearing john kirby speak at the white house and they see ukrainian momentum and the need to get more weapons to them. , ~ them. yes indeed. i think across nato them. yes indeed. i think across nate right _ them. yes indeed. i think across nato right now, _ them. yes indeed. i think across nato right now, there _ them. yes indeed. i think across nato right now, there is - them. yes indeed. i think across nato right now, there is a - them. yes indeed. i think across nato right now, there is a view. them. yes indeed. i think across i nato right now, there is a view that it is at least possible that ukrainians will be able to retake the land that has been stolen from them over the course of the last 200 days, and what that will lead to, of course, is greater willingness to provide more advanced weaponry systems from the united states, from the united kingdom and from other countries across the alliance. i

suppose at this point, both sides have a decision to make — the ukrainians first, that they do not overstretch, do not go too fast too quickly, and the russians at which point he will draw a line. the russians _ point he will draw a line. the russians drew _ point he will draw a line. the russians drew a _ point he will draw a line. the russians drew a line - point he will draw a line. tue: russians drew a line 200 point he will draw a line. tte: russians drew a line 200 days point he will draw a line. t'te: russians drew a line 200 days ago, as you know, and they don't really have many military options on the ground. putin has to decide more about how he is going to approach this over the medium—term. he is not getting any land back in the next couple of weeks or months, but does he want to order at least a limited mobilisation, extending the terms of reservists, getting more russians in uniform to the front was make that will be unpopular, it is tantamount to actually declaring a war against ukraine. right now, is up to 15 years in prison if you say it is a war in russia. putin has not wanted to do that, but if he wants to be able to have any shot of declaring victory for his own population, that is kind of what he needs to do. the

broader question in the near term is, is he going to escalate by trying to punish either ukrainians or nato, who have provided so much supported ukraine? cyber attacks on nato countries, for example, cutting off all the remaining energy the russians are providing to the europeans, for example, or targeting far more civilians on the run ukraine. those are all possible things he can do, but they're not going to advance his military position on the ground in. but the oint john position on the ground in. but the point john kirby — position on the ground in. but the point john kirby is _ position on the ground in. but the point john kirby is making, - position on the ground in. but the point john kirby is making, as - position on the ground in. but the l point john kirby is making, as much pointjohn kirby is making, as much as we see the russian forces in some state of disarray at the moment, they do still have a lot of material capacity left at their disposal. absolutely, and let's keep in mind that the territory the russians argue pine in ukraine is notjust what they have taken since february 24 but what they have taken since february 2a but what they have had since 2014, 24 but what they have had since 2014, and that will be very hard for

the ukrainians to go that far, even though that is the baseline of what president zelensky is now rallying the ukrainian people for what must be the minimum stakes for ending the war. look, the west is generally supportive of ukraine pushing back the russians militarily, defeating the russians militarily, defeating the russians militarily, but the west does not want to humiliate putin, and frankly that is a very, very narrow geopolitical needle to thread. tan very narrow geopolitical needle to thread. ., �* ., ~ , ., very narrow geopolitical needle to thread. . �* . ~' , ., ., thread. ian bremmer, thank you for our thread. ian bremmer, thank you for your time- — thread. ian bremmer, thank you for your time- my _ thread. ian bremmer, thank you for your time. my pleasure. _ let's take a look at some more stories now. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, says he's concerned russia could try to "stir the pot" — as he put it — in the conflict between azerbaijan and armenia, in order to create a distraction from ukraine. armenia says 49 of its soldiers died in overnight fighting, in the worst clashes since their war two years ago. serbia's interior ministry has banned the europride parade in the capital belgrade. the international celebration

and campaign for lgbt rights was due to take place on saturday. the ministry said there's a "risk of violence" due to a counter—protest which was also planned for the same time. both events have been banned. but europride organisers in serbia say they will go ahead, despite the ban. the un says that the first confirmed cholera outbreak in syria in years poses a "serious threat" to the entire region. more than 900 suspected cases, and eight deaths, have been reported in the past three weeks. the outbreak is believed to be linked to people drinking contaminated water from the river euphrates. has died at the age of 91. the influential french film director, jean—luc godard, has died at the age of 91. a founder of new wave cinema, godard shot to fame in the 1960s, with film—making characterised by radical editing and hand—held camera work. katie razzall looks back at his life.

jean—luc godard's a bout de souffle, breathless. cinema before 1960 had never seen anything like it — edgy, offbeat, full of jump—cuts. godard tore up the film—making rule book, intending to shock the world from what he saw as its complacency. half—french, half—swiss, jean—luc godard started as a film critic but, in his own words, barged into making movies like a caveman into versailles. his new wave films, like his politics, were revolutionary. in my life to live, a parisian housewife drifts into prostitution.

godard mixed up time and space, referenced pop culture, and his characters addressed the viewer. he reinvented cinema as an artform, his techniques inspiring the likes of quentin tarantino, martin scorsese and many more. others were less complimentary. the catholic church condemned his 1985 take on the virgin birth as heresy. jean—luc godard was still directing into his 80s, despite proclaiming many times that cinema was dead. and he was awarded an honorary oscar in 2010. today, president macron paid tribute — "france has lost a national treasure," he said. an iconoclastic film—maker, a genius. yes, without godard, there is no scorsese, no tarantino. jean—luc

godard, who has died at the age of 91. just before we go, let me show you the pictures of buckingham palace. it is sombre, but already the lines are forming for the lighting in—state tomorrow. you're watching bbc news. —— lying in state. for those of you still with us, this week, we're bringing you stories from people here in the uk — and around the world — who have been in touch with us since the death of the queen. many have wanted to share their memories of meeting the queen and offer us their tributes. one of them is monica simpson from accra in ghana. the queen came to her school during a visit to the country in 1999. you can see monica in the centre of this picture.

she told us it took the school about three weeks to get ready. they performed cultural dances and created handmade crafts from yarn. she said the queen was fascinated by what they'd done and that the whole school was extremely excited to meet her. they were particularly pleased the queen was wearing the same colours as the things they'd made for her. for many people, meeting the queen as a child is a memory that has stayed with them for the rest of their lives. susan smith from uxbridge near london met the queen in new zealand in 1986. her mum had a plan to get her to the front of the crowd. there were three of us — my older brother, younger sister, and me — and we were all lined up, the crowd had let us go up to the front because we were so small. and the queen stopped right in front of us and took the flowers. and the one part of the plan that didn't quite work was that the flowers had been in a hot car for quite a while by then, had been

picked from our garden — glass house, i think it was — but by the time we actually met the queen, they were looking rather droopy. and mum was a bit embarrassed. she thought perhaps they weren't good enough to give to the queen, but the queen was lovely. she said something along the lines of "are all these for me?" or something like that. and mum also said that she was so overwhelmed by the whole experience, and the fact the plan had worked and we'd spoken to the queen that she immediately forgot everything the queen had said. someone else who met the queen when she was little was emma. she joins us now with her mum, lynne anderson. but this wasn't quite the meeting you might have hoped for, was it? tell us all about it. it was a really- -- — tell us all about it. it was a really... laughter - really... laughter go on. _ really... laughter go on, take - really... laughter go on, take it - really... laughter go on, take it from | really... laughter - go on, take it from the really... laughter _ go on, take it from the beginning. it was quite a rainy day at the park in windsor, and i slipped on a hill,

and my holdback was covered in mud. we started walking back home and a car was driving down the road. i was confused, because there was never really big cars there. but the lady was in the car and she laughed at me and waved at my mum, and when the car turned, this man walked up to us and said that, it's not everyday that you get to the queen on her own, and my mum got really confused, like, where is the queen? and the man pointed towards the car that just passed us and the lady that was it laughing at me, and then my mum told me that the queen laughed at me, and i burst out in tears. laughter this lady who was driving, i guess

now, over to ukraine, where, in light of the military�*s lightning counter—offensive in kharkiv, accounts of war crimes committed by russian troops are emerging in liberated areas. in the city of balakliya — which was freed last thursday — the local police station was reportedly used by the russians as a torture and interrogation centre. from there, our senior international correspondent orla guerin reports. james warner has reports. a hug made in the kharkiv region. this mother tells her son, "i was waiting for you. i knew you would come." her wait has felt long. separation and russian

occupation has been painful. in this northeastern part of the country, russia is being forced to let go as ukraine retakes what was stolen. it means the town is now able to heal. translation: i live nearby. our troops approached very smartly, the russians were shocked and were running away fast. i was telling our soldiers, "thank you very much." 150,000 people have been liberated here according to authorities, and that represents a breakthrough. translation: the aim _ is to completely liberate the region and other territories occupied by the russian federation. right now, there is still fighting in kharkiv region. the city's ukrainian forces have entered and are still going through stabilisation measures. translation: regardless, | ukraine is using its successes

to try and get longer—term security guarantees from western allies. russia says it's fighting back. yet today, didn't exclude a diplomatic path. translation: our priority remains the promotion of sustainable - relations with all international partners on the basis of mutually respectful cooperation. the negotiating table is still far away, however russia's losses have brought it a bit closer. james waterhouse, bbc news, in kyiv. let's get more of those details from our international correspondent orla guerin. well, we are now in territory that was recently freed by ukraine. this is the city of balakliya, and now the russians are gone, stories are emerging of what happened here under occupation.

this was the local police station. when the russians came, they took it over and made it their headquarters and people were held here. we've been told that locals were afraid to even walk by, in case they were grabbed and brought inside. now, there are small cells inside. as many as eight men were crammed in at a time and held there. in one of the cells, we have seen there is a prayer scratched on the wall, and people had scratched the days on the wall. we've spoken to a woman, a local school principal, who was kept here for three days. she said she heard screaming coming from other rooms. we've also had an account from a man who was held here for more than 40 days, he says. and he says he was subjected to torture with electricity. and he said he too could hear the sounds of screaming coming from other prisoners. he said the russians made a point that they would hear it,

because they turned off the air conditioning system. as more areas now are being reached by ukrainian officials, it's expected that more stories like this are going to emerge. worrying developments in ukraine, orla guerin reporting for us. thousands of people have gathered in kenya — at a stadium in the capital, nairobi — to watch the inauguration of new president william ruto. the 60,000—seat stadium was filled with supporters from all over kenya, together with 20 heads of states from across africa. spectators watched president ruto take the oath of office — as immanuel igunza reports. cheering and with that marked the transfer of power and the beginning of the presidency of william ruto, kenya's new president. tens of thousands of people thronged the capital's main stadium, some arriving here as early as 3am. by early morning, the stadium was filled to capacity,

forcing police to lock out thousands who were outside — but that did not dampen the carnival mood here. in his first speech as president, william ruto promised a new start for the country. we anchored our campaign on the platform of the economy premised on job creation and the well—being of the people of kenya. and we have been working continuously on the measures to bring down the cost of living. the cost of living challenges are related, in our respectful submission, to production. our strategy to bring down the cost of living is predicated on empowering producers. more than 20 heads of state from the region attended the integration ceremony. in order for uganda and kenya, and tanzania and congo, and burundi and rwanda, and south sudan, and the somali

regions coming here now, in order for us to catch up with the united states, we need to consult the issue of the original market. well, this behind me is the first military parade in honour of new president william ruto. it's been a celebration that has been marked by military tradition, and also an enthusiastic crowd that cheered throughout. but the hard work begins now. on top of his agenda is a struggling economy that's been battered by the covid—19 pandemic, high cost of living, and unemployment. he also has to grapple with the large public debt, which now stands at $72 billion. president ruto has also often faced accusations that his manifesto is not strong on tackling corruption. his own deputy has had more than 200 million kenyan shillings frozen for allegedly being guilty of corruption. kenyans who attended this

inauguration also want the president to tackle corruption. the president should have to come up to them and mentor, to appoint some specialist who can sit down and discuss the issue of corruption. that is the only issue making our country to be down. my hopes — that my country will change and my country will have more money, and the poverty will go away. that is my hope. president ruto has pledged a clean break from the past regime as he begins to implement his pledge to rebuild the country. his first test will be the identity of the people he picks in his cabinet. immanuel igunza, bbc news, nairobi. in the three months tojuly, the

number of people out of work drop to 3.6%. but the squeeze on payer remains with rises and regular pay for failing to keep remains with rises and regular pay forfailing to keep up remains with rises and regular pay for failing to keep up with the increasing cost of living. faisal islam reports. at the moment, unemployment is very low and vacancies are very high. in fact, they're about the same. but it's not proving as simple as getting those out of work to do the jobs. the headlinejobs numbers remain strong, with both unemployment and long—term joblessness down. ordinarily, a figure like this would be driven by an abundance ofjobs. this time, it's fewer people actively seeking work, driven by a record number of people registering as long—term sick, which could be related to those record nhs waiting lists. it's adding to those labour market shortages and piling on further pressure on an already weak economy. at this electrical appliance supplier in stoke, consumers are increasingly ordering energy efficient products, but the owner

can't get the staff. we are having to review our wage costs on a monthly basis, because it is moving at that fast a speed. but it has been an absolute nightmare, where we are having to increase it all the time. so all our costs are going up — energy costs, wages are going up, our insurance is going up. everything's going up and nothing's going down at the moment, so it is a really, really difficult time, the worst time i've seen in the 30 years since i started the business. his employees are being leafletted in the car park with job offers. across the economy, though, prices are still rising by much more than wages, especially in the public sector. so the jobs numbers remain a silver lining, but is that about to change? faisal islam, bbc news. the enemies have been handed out in los angeles. there were wins for the comedy ted lasso and succession.

peter bows reports from los angeles. the 74th emmys! the first full—scale emmys since the pandemic, hollywood's great and good together again in a los angeles theatre to celebrate the medium of television and remember some of tv�*s best known theme tunes. # so no—one told you life was gonna be this way... and then came oprah winfrey to set the mood. every emmy nominee tonight has been knocked down at some point, but you got back up, and that's why you're here. # i am an endangered species... fulfilling dreams became a theme of the night. sheryl lee ralph, one of the stars of the new comedy abbott elementary, was named best supporting actress. and won a stunning ovation. some of the acceptance speeches went on a bit too long.

butjennifer coolidge, who was named best supporting actress for the white lotus, seized the moment. wait, hold on. 0k. it was a history—making night. netflix's hugely popular dystopian drama squid game won several awards. and the star of the series became the first person from a non—english—language show to win best actor in a drama. brett goldstein! ted lasso, the series about an american managing a british football team, was named best comedy, and there were emmys for two of the show�*s stars, jason sudeikis and brett goldstein. last time i was here, i was told not to square, and i did, and i'm sorry. —— not to swear. but it meant the feed got cut back home in the uk, so my family never got

to hear me say this, so thank you for this second chance. mum, dad, tyra and matt... i really do. i'll be better. thank you very much. this is amazing. and the night's top prize... succession! the show about a dysfunctional media family named best drama for the second time. hollywood is having fun again, and television is enjoying a golden age. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. let's return to the death of queen elizabeth and the period of mourning that's under way. let’s elizabeth and the period of mourning that's under way.— that's under way. let's turn to jamaica- _ the queen visited the former british colony every decade until her

goldenjubilee in 2002. jamaica's prime minister says her passing marks a new beginning for the country. in recent years, support has grown for a referendum on whether to become a republic. from kingston, nada tawfik reports. jamaica — a mountainous island rich in beauty with an outsized cultural influence. but not far from the popular tourist spots are communities struggling with crime and hardship. trench town, in west kingston, was the home of bob marley — the birthplace of reggae music. it was also a regular stop for the royals on their visits, including queen elizabeth, who would view urban projects and community centres partly funded by the british government. her passing has prompted difficult discussions in this neighbourhood about her legacy and poverty�*s roots in colonialism. the average earnings of a caribbean person, in terms of how much they take home a week, is like $50 us. think about that. with british colonialism in the past, they should have done more for the people ofjamaica. because there, we just had makeshift houses where people built their own houses out of wood and stuff. dr howard harvey understands the frustrations on the street — he made his way from here, wiping windscreens,

to earning his doctorate. but he doesn't believe jamaica is ready to break from the monarchy. if you're not equipped with all the competences to be able to handle all the different stresses that comes with a republic and all the different challenges, it can push you back. jamaicans have been wrestling with whether or not to become a republic for decades. recently though, changing views of the monarchy and the global reckoning on racial injustice has swayed many. polling suggests more than 50% of people here support the move. jamaicans are waking up. republicans injamaica say the monarchy is a relic of the past that simply doesn't fit in today's world. if we're serious about a democracy — and that's the discussion going on in the commonwealth — do you want the head of an international organisation like the commonwealth with an unelected head? it's a sentiment that goes beyond these shores. jamaica could be the first —

and maybe not the last — member of the commonwealth to sever its ties under king charles. nada tawfik, bbc news, kingston, jamaica. canada has announced that the day of queen elizabeth's funeral will be a national holiday and a day of mourning for the late monarch. in canada, many see the rule of king charles iii as a renewed beginning, to deal with fundamental issues relating to the monarchy. canada's governor general, mary simon, says those issues include, what are seen as dark chapters in the monarchy�*s relationship with canada's indigenous people. governor general simon is the first indigenous person to hold the role of representing the crown in canada. she's been speaking to our chief international correspondent lyse doucet. her leadership has always brought calmness to any discussions that we've had, and an understanding of what canada was all about.

in fact, she said her second home was canada. and she didn't shy away from commenting on issues that were, for instance, related 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 away from their parents, and forced to study in these schools? in these residential schools, yes. it was a very traumatic, horrific experience for many students. and i think that all plays into the conversation of colonisation, of, you know, the relationship between the crown and indigenous peoples — notjust in canada, but in other parts of the world, as well, especially in some of the commonwealth countries.

as you know, there have been repeated calls, including many this year, to the queen to apologise, to offer reparations for this history. could she have done more? she was loved by canadians and indigenous canadians. but at the same time, people recognised that the institution itself had to deal with some of these complex issues that you're talking about, and those complex issues within the institution continue to be there. knowing that the king, king charles, when he was here, really did talk about those issues — ijust believe that having been part of the conversations a few months ago, that the king will be ready to have further discussions. could it be a new beginning,

with king charles iii? i think it's a renewed beginning. it's a huge issue for us right now. and the fact that the king has said that it's a fundamental issue, yes, hopefully this will be a renewed process for us. would an apology help? you know, an apology is something that has to be more than words. an apology has to be followed by action. what kind of action? the relationship in terms of canadians and indigenous people related to resources, related to land, those are action issues. and i think this will be a way of renewing those discussions and, with the involvement of the king, it could be that it's going to be different. but again, i can't predict what will happen. but you see opportunities and hope? yes, i do.

i see hope. the governor general of canada, mary simon. tomorrow the queen will be taken to the westminster hall for four days of lying in state. the crowds are already starting to form in london, it is a rainy evening tonight, miserable and sombre tonight, miserable and sombre tonight in london. we are expecting thousands of people to join that queue. let's speak to zoe conway in westminster for us. queue. let's speak to zoe conway in westminsterfor us. can queue. let's speak to zoe conway in westminster for us. can you queue. let's speak to zoe conway in westminsterfor us. can you hear us? hello, christian, i can hear you. i'm just by a lambeth bridge on the south bank of the river thames, just south bank of the river thames, just south of the houses of parliament. and there are about 50—60 people in the queue now, they've been here for several hours. massively it's just

state forfour hall where the queen will lie in state for four days. before we go tonight, let me show you these pictures from buckingham palace, the outriders there with their heads bowed, the honour guard as the queen arrived at buckingham palace in the rain, a rather sombre picture this evening. hello there. there was quite a bit of contrasting weather on tuesday. for many parts, it was dry and fine with some sunshine. a lovely scene in cumbria throughout the day. but further south, where it was much cloudier — and you can see that from the satellite picture from tuesday, that cloud from south wales, the south midlands towards east anglia and southward — beneath that cloud, quite a bit of wet weather around, as well. so that caused quite a bit puddles in some parts, some surface—water spray on some of the roads, as well. and that rain is likely to continue even into wednesday morning. we've got this weather front here just situated towards the south — it's not moving very far, but high pressure is trying to nudge its way in from the atlantic. but a rather wet start to the day on wednesday, especially so in london,

where people may be queuing to see the lying in state throughout the day. that rain will gradually clear away to the south, eventually clearing the south coast, as well, after 1—2 heavier showers. but elsewhere, throughout wednesday, a fine day again with some sunny spells. feeling quite pleasant in that september sunshine, as well — temperatures about 18—22 celsius, slightly chillier for scotland and northern ireland. but through the evening and overnight on wednesday, clear skies, 1—2 patches of mist and fog developing, a bit of cloud towards eastern areas. but again, a chilly night, especially across northern parts of england into scotland — those temperatures down into single figures at 5—7 celsius. elsewhere, stilljust holding onto double figures, but that may well change later on in the week. because we've got some colder air moving its way in the arctic. that'll move its way southward across the uk for the end of the week — look at those blues there on the air mass picture. high pressure, though,

is still there or thereabouts towards the west, and that keeps things relatively settled. so during thursday, dry for most, the odd shower perhaps in the southeast of england — few and far between, those — but more so across northern scotland, being brought on by a rather brisk northerly wind. you'll notice that wind, too, around the east and west coasts of the uk. and again, it will feel quite a bit fresher compared to recent days, with temperatures for many in the mid—to—high teens, perhaps 20 celsius in cardiff. but that northerly wind continues for friday. low pressure towards the east, high pressure towards the west. just that squeeze in the ice bars there around those north sea coasts — and that will bring in some showers towards parts of lincolnshire, east anglia, the southeast of england. you'll notice that strengthening northerly wind, as well. elsewhere, though, again on friday, it's looking fine and dry with sunny spells. but temperatures, well, dipping down even further, pretty much the low—to—mid teens. and it's overnight that we'll start to notice that really chilly weather — temperatures widely on into friday

morning around about 4—5 celsius, even the chance of a grass frost in some rural areas. how about the weekend, then? well, we've still got that northerly wind that could bring, again, some showers towards eastern areas. but generally speaking, high pressure is still there. so, as we go through the weekend and into the bank holiday monday, and for the queen's state funeral, again, it is looking dry. there will be some sunny spells, those temperatures are 17—18 celsius. and that area of high pressure, pretty much sticks around, at least for the early part of next week, as well. so it will be chilly by day, and especially so during the night—time. those temperatures again down into single figures. that's all from me, bye—bye.

this programme contains repeated flashing images. tonight at ten... the queen's coffin is brought back to buckingham palace for one last night. applause and cheers as elizabeth ii makes her final return, her coffin met inside the palace by her family for their last private hours together. pulling up on busy main roads, people parked their cars in the fast lane for a final farewell as the queen's cortege made its way from raf northolt into london. the coffin was flown back from edinburgh by the raf.

it was
