while the queen was making her last journey from scotland, king charles was on his first visit to northern ireland as monarch. the king and the queen consort 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, alan 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
11:11 pm
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. in the throne room, subdued, quiet... ..the king greeted northern ireland's party leaders. i think ithink we're i think we're all very saddened by her loss — sinn fein's michelle o'neill spoke to him of his late mother's contribution to the peace process.
11:12 pm
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 relationshipsl 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 his mother's shining example. she never ceased to pray for the best of times for this place and its people,
11:13 pm
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 choir sings 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,
11:14 pm
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 on friday, wales, is a statement 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. alan little, bbc news, belfast. in ukraine, accounts are emerging of brutality and the killing of civilians by russian troops in areas that have just been liberated by ukrainian forces in the eastern province of kharkiv. analysts say moscow has largely given up land gained around kharkiv in the north—east,
11:15 pm
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. the area here in purple shows the gains ukraine has made. you can see quite a big change since last week. one city, balakliya, liberated last week — the russians are said to have used the local police station as a torture and interrogation centre. a warning — this report from our senior international correspondent, orla guerin, contains distressing details. ukrainian police lead us to a crime scene. it's inside their own former police station in the city of balakliya. for six months, the russians were the law here, and local civilians were at their mercy. a former detainee told us both men and women were tortured
11:16 pm
with electric shocks. when the russians took over balakliya, they occupied this police station and made it their headquarters. they held prisoners here in the cells. now, we've been told they kept as many as eight men in cells as small as this. here on the wall, you can see that somebody has scratched out a prayer. and they've also marked out the days. the police say that local people were terrified to even pass by this building, afraid that they would be captured by the russians. ukrainian investigators are here now, beginning to gather evidence about what happened behind these walls from people like artyum, who was held for more than a0 days. "they made me hold two wires", he says, "attached to an electric generator. "the faster you spin it,
11:17 pm
the higher the voltage. "they kept spinning it and asking questions. "they said i was lying, so they did it more. "it happened to some prisoners every other day." the russians made sure everyone inside heard the screams, he says, by turning off the ventilation system. but now, freedom has come, a moment of celebration. ukraine's victory was swift. in a nearby village, neighbours able to meet again, to breathe again, after six long months of occupation. for vasily, there's relief, but he still can't fathom what's happened.

"we were together with russia. "i was in the army in moscow. "i worked there. "my sister is there, and i can't visit her. "i don't know if she's dead or alive." the next battles here will be rebuilding, getting power and water back on, and keeping the enemy at bay. the russians were only pushed out of here last thursday. one of their final acts was the destruction of this school. now ukraine is back in control, the recent gains aren't just a military victory, they're a psychological victory, and they're a message to ukraine's allies in the west — "we can beat the russians, keep supporting us." for many, life here now
11:19 pm
is a hand to mouth struggle. is a hand—to—mouth struggle. "please don't push," he says. "everyone will be helped." but this one small aid truck was quickly overwhelmed. in the queue, vyacheslav and his granddaughter, zlata, who didn't come away empty—handed. was she very frightened in the last few months, zlata? did she understand what was going on? "she was very frightened," he told me. "hysterical and shouting. "she couldn't sleep properly, but we took care of her as best we could." for some, the liberation came too late. this man, a taxi driver, was killed with his passenger. the authorities who exhumed the bodies say they were shot dead by the

11:23 pm
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.

11:26 pm
alas private goodbye. —— a last. i'm lewis vaughanjones. this is bbc news. 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, well, 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 big 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
11:27 pm
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. 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
11:28 pm
towards the west, and that keeps things relatively settled. 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 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,
11:29 pm
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.
11:30 pm

11:31 pm
returning home says the i, showing some of the crowds outside the gates. the telegraph reports that the royal family are now able to grieve in private, together at buckingham palace the times says the family have gathered for the queen's last night at the palace — with a picture of her coffin arriving from edinburgh today. the queen's coffin will be taken from buckingham palace to westminster tomorrow, and the metro reports that princes william and harry willjoin king charles to walk behind it. elsewhere, the guardian says liz truss could scrap the government's entire anti—obesity strategy as part of a review of measures. and the financial times claims companies have been warned they could have to wait until november for support with energy bills, with a 150 billion pound package running into delays. so let's begin... thank you very much forjoining us.
11:32 pm
there's only one place to start, of course. another day and another evening ofjust extraordinary images that we will remember for a long time. you can pick any of the newspaper front time. you can pick any of the newspaperfront pages. time. you can pick any of the newspaper front pages. we will start with the daily mirror. there is something about the lighting, the rain, the darkness. it's really, really emotive. kate, why don't you kick us off? figs really emotive. kate, why don't you kick us off?— kick us off? as several of the -a ers kick us off? as several of the papers point _ kick us off? as several of the papers point out _ kick us off? as several of the papers point out this - kick us off? as several of the papers point out this is - kick us off? as several of the papers point out this is the l kick us off? as several of the - papers point out this is the queen who said she knew she had to be seen to be believed. she was a queen who very much understood the power of images in the modern age. the power of photography, television which developed so rapidly during that long rain. ithink looking here, what's extraordinary about some of these images is actually, you can read the story in the detail of them. the mirror, the headline led home bright lights of law. and it is
11:33 pm
true of course that the hearse carrying the queens coffin is illuminated from within, precisely because as they say in the right off and on the telegraph, this is a queen who was illuminated, who understood the need to be illuminated to the last. what i also find extraordinary is if you look at that front page there is a halo effect of little lights all around the crowd. what those are, the lights of people's mobile phones. this is someone would not have understood the image when the queens father george vi died. could you imagine looking at a crowd like that and thinking, "god, if they all got candles and torches or something. "was up i think there's a darkness and that image for me, which is the extent to which we have become a society in which we're all there to snap our own picture. we're all there to get her own picture of it.
11:34 pm
i think what we're seeing is crowds paying their respects but also the queen as she always was throughout her life, this is what the modern royal family is, her life, this is what the modern royalfamily is, a her life, this is what the modern royal family is, a spectacle to be consumed to the very last. she is something for the souvenir hunters, isn't she? the other thing that striking about the image, the paddington thing but maybe we can talk about that later. it's extraordinary, if you look at the top paddington would be so proud, since that moment at the platinum jubileejust a few since that moment at the platinum jubilee just a few months ago, the queen performed in that wonderful sketch with the cgi paddington bear. those who have been utterly associated in the mind. dare i say also, pretty remarkable example two brands outlining.— brands outlining. okay. we might come to that _ brands outlining. okay. we might come to that a _ brands outlining. okay. we might come to that a little _ brands outlining. okay. we might come to that a little bit _ brands outlining. okay. we might come to that a little bit later- brands outlining. okay. we might come to that a little bit later on. | come to that a little bit later on. the daily express. the same scene slightly different photo, home for a one last time.

11:37 pm
out that this is tonight will really be the last private moment for the family to spend time with the coffin of their mother and grandmother. as you say, what ever is constitutional opinions, i think everyone respects the significance of that family in mourning. and just how difficult it has been for them to grieve the state must do under public scrutiny and with so many other people claiming a share in agree. she also points out, i think we're hearing about this before that the prince of wales and the duke of sussex, william and harry as they're known to some people will be walking behind their grandmothers coffin tomorrow as it makes its way to live and stay. the coffin is going to process from buckingham palace to whitehall to parliament where i believe it will lie in west minister hall, which we've seen already used
11:38 pm
in so many of the morning processes. it really is for those of us to remember, i was very young myself but i think we all too sorry can't remember our screens william and harry as very young people, children really come a walking behind the coffin of their mother. it will be impossible to avoid comparisons. i think the royal family must know that must�*ve been aware of that as they made the plan, as they all agreed as a family how they would pay their respects to their grandmother. i think we're all going to be incredibly sad. we're looking at two brothers whose personal tensions have been publicly picked over, which is tragedy for any family itself. already suffered so much with the young death of their mother, reliving all of that in public photo is clearly a choice they make clearly something they feel is appropriate. but it will surely bring back what prince harry has made clear he considers a very

11:41 pm
we're facing a cost—of—living crisis. however big the royal news is, no one is going to be unaware that we're all counting our pennies and that's causing an awful lot of anxiety. there has been a help package promised by the new prime ministerfor package promised by the new prime minister for consumers and households but as this article in the financial times points out, the help consumers for individuals and households has been tied to the existing price operated by a gem which is the regulator and has limited yearly gas and electric bill for £2500 on average from october one. but businesses, we're talking about everything from manufacturing, agriculture to just keeping your office heated, businesses aren't
11:42 pm
regulated by the energy. so the government is trying to look for ways to try to measure the cost and understand the problem and deliver the help. the further problem as this article later points out is to go back to the story we've just been discussing about parliament is suspended until they clean the funeral on monday. after that parliament goes into recess for party conference season, polyp mentor e—business as i get done because parties, it's understood that members of parliament want to attend a political conference. the question when actually the government is going to have time to bring in any necessary legislation is also a very open one.— bring in any necessary legislation is also a very open one. which goes back to the — is also a very open one. which goes back to the criticism _ is also a very open one. which goes back to the criticism of _ is also a very open one. which goes back to the criticism of the - is also a very open one. which goes back to the criticism of the length l back to the criticism of the length of the conservative party leadership contest over the summer and not much being done there. i'm afraid we can't dwell on after that we have to skip onto the front page of the guardian. johnson's junk food rules

11:47 pm
ordered to retreat from advancing ukrainian troops in kharkiv to focus on the donbas region. i should remind viewers that the donbas reason is the region that's been held by russia sent 2014. of course russia would claim that it's been held by local nationalists who want to be part of russia who want autonomy from the ukraine. well, i have scepticism about that. but we're talking about is the russian position being forced potentially back from the status quo that it wasn't before this latest invasion earlier this year began. that will be a blow to vladimir putin his authority in russia itself and we're waiting to see with the political ramifications for him are. headline, units leave — ramifications for him are. headline, units leave weapons _ ramifications for him are. headline, units leave weapons behind - ramifications for him are. headline, units leave weapons behind after. units leave weapons behind after fleeing in panic. significant developments there that we must keep across. forthe developments there that we must keep across. for the moment i'm afraid we
11:48 pm
were allotted time thank you very much for running us through the front pages. for running us through the front pages. that's it for the papers this hour. bye— bye. 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.
11:49 pm
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 —
11:50 pm
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. shejoins 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. go on, take it from the beginning. it was quite a rainy day
11:51 pm
at the park in windsor, and i slipped on a hill, and my whole back 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 thatjust 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,
11:52 pm
i guess in thejeep, was it? she was driving herjaguar. was she? her three—year—old memory. the point was, she was having a good giggle at emma's expense? she was lovely. a happy lady smiling at my daughter. she just laughed and waved like any normal person and drove away. did not occur to me it was the queen. just had a headscarf on, just a regular woman. because she did like to drive herself around, of course, and they know you are or is it enclosed windsor. was that the on the time you saw her? we saw the royal family quite equally. prince andrew, you see them driving around all the time in the range rover, but to see the queen and not know it was the queen, to not acting as the queen, was quite unusual for us. so, what has it meant for you these last few days and watching
11:53 pm
the pictures from scotland and the state hearse arriving tonight at buckingham palace? what is it been like for you? like, it is connected close to her, because i may have been close to windsor, but the queen was not a frequent. i did not get to see her a lot, so being able to see all of this has not been closer to her. i think that is the point, isn't it? a lot of people talk about the constant this and the duty and the service the queen gave us, but i think it is also a moment when everyone stands back with their recollections of either beating her talking to her something that she for us it was stirs in their past. the constancy. iremembergoing i remember going with my father to relate _ i remember going with my father to relate jubilee. i remember going with my father to relate jubilee. she's always been there, and during the.
11:54 pm
always doing things that were connected, and being from edinburgh, having watched the procession up to st giles', it really hit home that we've lost somebody who's been there our whole lives, we've only ever known the queen. and that's particularly true for people in windsor, because for people around the world who perhaps don't know, the castle is very close to the town, very much part of the town. and it is a royal town, so they feel it perhaps a lot harder than other parts of the country maybe. absolutely, you can drive down a road and not know the queen was home because of the royal standard — we just took for granted that the queen was home, and now she won't be, so it's very sad for us. emma, i don't know if you are planning to go to london over the next few days, but after monday, the committal will be at windsor. as a public holiday on monday. we'll be on our way somewhere,
11:55 pm
on her way back home. so you'll go back for the long walk to watch the cough and come back? we are committed to saying goodbye. thank you for sharing your memories with us, it was quite an amusing one because she had a cheeky sense of humour, as well, the queen. i'm sorry it was at your expense but it was a lovely story nonetheless. thank you very much indeed. lynn anderson and emma sharing their thoughts of the queen. many people have sent their attributes as pictures with up among them ruby who is ten in york shire. she sent her drawing. that's a very good drawing of the queen. in herfavourite color. she said she felt sad that the queen was gone and that she was very special to her ruby told us the drawing made her happier. please do send us more of your stories and tributes to the queen. the e—mail

address is your queen at bbc. uk and we will try to shows many of those contributions as we can. hello there. we had mixed weatherfortunes yesterday across the uk. for most of us, actually, it was a decent day with some lengthy spells of sunshine. lovely weather watcher picture there showing the sun over the hills and lakes in cumbria. but it wasn't like that everywhere — we actually had quite a lot of cloud across southern parts of england and wales and that cloud did bring outbreaks of rain. it was quite persistent rain towards the south coast itself. a grey overcast scene there in shaldon, devon, with some dampness around, too. and that weather front is a particularly slow—moving beastie, so we are going to see further outbreaks of rain over the next few hours — most of the rain's going to be quite light.
11:57 pm
away from that feature, clear skies for the most part, and that's allowing temperatures to plunge, so it's going to be a chilly start to wednesday morning. for quite a few of you, temperatures starting off into single figures, but 13—16 where we have that cloud and rain to start the day. this weather front is eventually going to budge out of the way, but it's probably not really until the end of the afternoon that we start to see the rain pull away from the south coast. kent likely to be the last place that turns drier, but eventually through the afternoon, we should see some sunshine moving in from the north. for the rest of the uk, it's another similar kind of day's weather — most of you having a dry day with sunny spells. could be a bit more cloud in northern ireland — one or two showers to the north coast here — and one or two showers as well moving in across northern areas of scotland, but for the bulk, it's dry. temperatures quite widely around 17—19 degrees. southern england, southern wales, east anglia, about 22—23. it will feel warmer in the afternoon when the sunshine finally puts in an appearance. now, beyond that, we have strengthening north—to—northwesterly winds moving in later in the week, and it will be bringing
11:58 pm
some cooler air. for those planning a trip to london for the queen's lying in state, the weather should be mostly dry — couldn't rule out an odd passing shower for thursday. it then turns cooler with temperatures into the upper teens. now, for thursday, for the rest of the uk, there'll be a bit more the way of cloud coming in across scotland. quite widespread showers here and showers are also going to extend around some of our north sea coasts. it will be dry across many inland areas, but those temperatures are starting to come down. 15—16 for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, too, and that trend of cooler weather continues as we head into the weekend. 15 in manchester, for example, london around about 17 degrees, so cooler than it has been. that's your weather.
