in addition to m square kilometres which azerbaijan occupied in may last year. right now there are hundreds and hundreds of people gathering outside the prime minister's residents and demanding his resignation. this is in response to the speech he made in parliament and what he said was if azerbaijan recognises armenia's territorial integrity and will withdraw its troops to its original positions, then armenia will be ready to do the same. he said that armenia wanted to reach an agreement with azerbaijan. the reason why people are angry and they are protesting now is because they are protesting now is because they are interpreting these words as perhaps the prime minister's most explicit hint so far that armenia may be ready to cede control. we

have been — may be ready to cede control. we have been following a knife edge election in sweden. the swedish prime minister has announced tonight she will stand down after her centre—left coalition was edged out by a block of right—wing parties in the country's election. the coalition andersson lead has fallen short of an overall majority. close to 1500 people have been killed in what has been described as a climate change induced catastrophe in pakistan. the devastation is far from over. rescue and evacuation efforts continue. officials are struggling to help the displaced. health experts are worried about a looming health crisis. our correspondent has been following developments over the last few weeks. this child has been unwell

places untouched by the water. but even here the impact has been felt. not only is there no food or clean drinking water, doctors are worried about a looming health crisis. many of those who have been displaced are living near stagnant water at risk of malaria, dengue fever, and other life—threatening diseases. the un's secretary general travelled to the flooded areas, meeting those now left with nothing. it is clear that there will be no quick solutions for pakistan. {lii there will be no quick solutions for pakistan. ., , , _, pakistan. of the world is becoming too small. pakistan. of the world is becoming too small- as _ pakistan. of the world is becoming too small. as long _ pakistan. of the world is becoming too small. as long as _ pakistan. of the world is becoming too small. as long as that - pakistan. of the world is becoming too small. as long as that is - too small. as long as that is happening, if the rich do not take care of the problems of the poor, we need a world in which peace and security can only be guaranteed if we see a reduction in inequality, and at the same time there is

we understand that they rotate guards every 20 minutes, so you will see the presiding officer buying his stick twice, and then every 20 minutes, a slow procession of the household guard approaches the catafalque, and they switch positions while the yeomen, of course, stand alongside. so you might see this over the next couple of days, but you can see, steadily, people still filing past the bier, which is the plinth that is holding the coffin, draped in the royal standard, and quite a steady procession, moving at quite a steady pace. some peoplejust stopping to gently bow their heads, others just moving passed quietly. the queen was the patron of more than 500 charities, but few of them were part of her life for as long as the girl guides. the queen was just 11 years old when she became a guide, earning badges forswimming, first aid and horse riding. our correspondent went to meet some of

well, popping to a supermarket or food store here in the uk, and you will see the royal coat of arms, not on the building, but of course on the packaging. chocolate wrappers, cereal boxes, champagne bottles. when you reach the till to pay, if you're using cash, the coins and notes bear the portrait of the late queen. it will be some time yet before they disappear from circulation, but that phrase on the packaging, "by appointment to her majesty, queen elizabeth ii" is found in more than 600 goods, and may change much sooner, as ever consumer affairs correspondent explains. these aren't just any old explains. these aren'tjust any old corn flakes. they are toasted, filled, boxed, sealed and sent with a very unique mark. we are really, really privileged to have had the royal warrant for the whole of the queen's reign, and in fact, we had the royal warrant for her dad, king george vi. as an american company, having a royal warrant has been kellogg's' gateway into the british

establishment. so, nowadays, the royals get their serial from us through their normal grocery supplier, but, you know, two decades ago, we had someone called helen in our customer service team, and it was herjob to take the order from buckingham palace, and then we had someone who took a van specifically called genevieve, the van had the name, to deliver the food to buckingham palace. kellogg's are one of more than 650 companies who supplied products to queen elizabeth and the duke of edinburgh. when it comes to stamps, coins, banknotes and letterboxes, the image on the front will gradually change, but you will still be able to use everything with the old queen on. but royal warrants are different. it's one of the most basic ways that the monarchy touches our everyday lives, _ the monarchy touches our everyday lives, , . . , , , the monarchy touches our everyday lives, , , , , . , lives, because in pretty much every kitchen or bathroom _ lives, because in pretty much every kitchen or bathroom in _ lives, because in pretty much every kitchen or bathroom in the - lives, because in pretty much every kitchen or bathroom in the country, there is likely to be one of these products with the queen's crest on it. but now that queen elizabeth has passed away, all of this could be

about to change. we will see different brands, and new emerging brands that are more ethical and more sustainable, connect with the consumer in different ways, then there will be some brands that the consumers might not connect with and might not have their warrants reissued. benson & hedges and silk cut lost their warrant in the 1990s when smoking became much more controversial. but despite a shift in focus, a senior lecturer in consumer behaviour thinks that royal warrants are here to stay. that is the best endorsement that any product can get, that they are associated with royalty, because if you look at any other logos, really, they want to say that they are different and distinct, and it doesn't get much more distinct than the royal family. crown paints have supplied the last two monarchs, with queen elizabeth paying a visit in the 60s. here in lancashire, the company say it is notjust lancashire, the company say it is not just about prestige lancashire, the company say it is notjust about prestige and boosting sales. partly as a result of holding the royal— partly as a result of holding the royal warrant, we attract some really, _ royal warrant, we attract some really, really good people to come here and _ really, really good people to come here and work at crown, and they

flowers which have been laid, they have been many sightings of paddington bear. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been finding out why during this time of national mourning so many people have turned to a bare in a famous blue duffel coat. —— a bear. here, they are, paddington bear. even a marmalade sandwich for the monarch. from balmoral to buckingham palace, michael bond's much loved children's character has become a widespread part of tributes to the queen. this is a very special thing. it is the original notebook my father had when he started writing a bear called paddington. on the right a's daughter has no doubt why many are using paddington to show that they care. one of the last things that people saw of the queen close up was when she did that marvellous sketch during thejubilee celebrations, and because that was the final image of the queen for many people, that's what they remember, and so they

associate her with paddington. i always keep one for emergencies! so do _ i always keep one for emergencies! so do i! _ i always keep one for emergencies! so do i! i_ ialway5 keep one for emergencies! so do i! i keep— ialway5 keep one for emergencies! so do i! i keep mine— ialway5 keep one for emergencies! so do i! i keep mine in— i always keep one for emergencies! so do i! i keep mine in here. - so do i! i keep mine in here. it so do i! i keep mine in here. it is— so do i! i keep mine in here. it is causing the royal some problems. we are hearing they are saying, please don't bring a remarkably toys are marmalade sandwiches. well, it is a bit worrying, really, thinking about what is going to happen to them. if people started, perhaps, instead of leaving the bears, which is a wonderful thing to do and of any kind thought, but perhaps leaving messages instead and maybe making a donation to admit that when one of the queen's favourite charities. and your father had one dough with his own long—standing links with the queen? he did, because my father worked for the bbc, and when the queen's coronation took place, my father was actually working on the outside broadcast, so he was at westminster abbey for the queen's coronation. one particular paddington picture has been repeatedly shared on social media. eleanortomlinson

it's a chillier direction, but that northerly breeze is picking up and it's quite a brisk wind that will continue to blow showers in for the rest of this evening and overnight to northern and eastern areas, one or two for the north sea coast, and also one or two coming in across northern ireland and western coasts of england and wales as well. but inland, a chilly night, chilly again in the glens of scotland, possibly a touch of grass frost here. and even though double figures further south, it will feel fresher. we've lost that humidity now that has been with us for this part of the week. and that cold northerly wind is coming right the way down from the arctic, and so too is our air, and that will continue to filter southwards. so we're in for some chilly nights and some fresher days, but still there's strength in the september sunshine, and plenty of that around on offer first thing thursday, the cloud come and goes. again, quite a few showers and the odd sharp shower across northern and eastern scotland, moving into eastern england. one or two further west across northern ireland and the irish sea coast of england and wales as well, perhaps the cheshire gap, but it might be that we only see 18

or 19 on thursday. that'll be the first day since early june that we haven't had 20 degrees somewhere in the uk. sojust an indication that it is quite a cool airflow, and quite a brisk wind as well through thursday and into friday, particularly around the coast further showers, but inland temperatures continue to dip away. so we'll get single figures in the countryside further south as well. the winds probably going to peak thursday into friday, particularly for north sea coasts, and there will be plenty more showers working their way southwards on a weather system, perhaps fewer, and the wind starting to fall lighter further west because high pressure is starting to build in during the course of friday, into northern ireland, western fringes of england and wales, and then over the weekend across much of the uk. so if you're heading to london, a fresher 15 or 16, but feeling pleasant enough in the sunshine, just an outside chance of a shower, but through the evening and overnight, early morning, it really will feel chilly, perhaps the first widespread chilly snap of the autumn. but otherwise, there's a lot of dry

and settled weather on the forecast.

this is bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm christian fraser. the headlines... this is the scene in westminster hall tonight, where mourners are paying their final respects to queen elizabeth, who is lying in state. i'm geeta guru—murthy live at westminster, where the queen's coffin will remain for four days, before her state funeral next monday. the queue currently stands at 2.5 miles, with hundreds of thousands of people expected to pay their respects. for those who've been already, it was an emotional experience. it was very moving. beautiful

good evening. queen elizabeth ii is lying in state tonight, beneath the ancient timbers of westminster hall. this afternoon, the queen's coffin, carrying the imperial state crown, left buckingham palace for the last time, and was carried by gun carriage, in procession down the mall to horseguards, past the cenotaph and on to westminster hall. behind the carriage, marching slowly to the muffled beat of the drum, were her majesty's four children, king charles, the princess royal, the duke of york, the earl of wessex and her grandchildren, this is the live scene. quietly

passing by on either side, the long lines of the public who have waited, some of them for two days, to pay theirfinal some of them for two days, to pay their final respects to the queen. what you are seeing is the changing of the guard. it changes every 20 minutes. there are four shifts in a 24—hour period. six hour shifts, each of them. the yeomen also on hand. formerservicemen, non—commissioned officers, those who spent the last 20 minutes guarding the queen's coffin slowly edge away. occasionally the line pauses in quiet respect as the guards make their way to the bottom of the hall and the public continues to file from behind. it has been an

intensely moving day. i'm sure people watching at home found it a sombre occasion. great formality, as you would expect, steady beating of the military drum, the heavy toll of big ben, the guns that have fired every minute from hyde park and as you are seeing now, this exacting symmetry from the household guard. for me, it was the moment she passed between the great arch of buckingham palace for the very last time. that was a moment in the day that will last in history. the passing of the queen from the family to the nation. a shift, really, from the family to the public, as she was handed over to the earl marshal duke of norfolk as the family invited the nation to share in the mourning, as they will do for the next four days, until 6am on monday morning come the queen's

state funeral. let's take a look back at what has been a historic day. in a setting that is so familiar, where so often and so recently there has been celebration, today an event of the greatest solemnity. on the pavements around the palace and along the mall, spectators were quiet and still. at 2:22pm, the cortege stepped off. a field gun sounded and the great bell known as big ben tolled. the coffin of her late majesty queen elizabeth ii was brought from buckingham palace, where it had rested for a final night with her family.

the coffin was borne on a gun carriage. on the coffin rested a wreath and the imperial state crown. walking behind the coffin, the king with his siblings, the princess royal, the duke of york, who was not in uniform, and the earl of wessex. and in the row behind, princes william and harry, walking together 25 years after they had followed the coffin of their mother to her funeral. the military detachments marched with their arms reversed. the cortege passed along the length of the mall, dressed on either side with union flags. as the coffin went past, from spectators,

from horse guards, the cortege passed through the archway and on to whitehall. on past the cenotaph where, for so many years as queen, she had led the nation's mourning. now that nation with others mourns her. as the cortege approached parliament square and the palace of westminster, the applause from the pavements swelled.

many of those who were watching had travelled from afar, feeling an overwhelming obligation to be present. each wanting to be part of this moment in the nation's history and leaving with a precious memory. seeing the queen on that carriage was just unbelievable. and it brings it all home that she's gone. and we won't see her again. i definitely felt personally touched, it was a very memorable experience, a memory that i will cherish. i have to be honest, _ i was so focused on the coffin that i didn't end up seeing the royals following her behind _ because i wasjust, you know, wanting to see the queen go. | outside westminster hall, the bearer party from the grenadier guards took the queen's coffin on their shoulders. other members of the royal family were there, watching. on the left, the duchess of sussex.

the coffin, covered in the royal standard and surmounted by the queen's crown, was placed with care on the catafalque. oh, god, the makerand redeemer of all mankind, grant us with thy servant queen elizabeth and all the faithful departed the sure benefits of thy son's saving passion and glorious resurrection. for the royal family, it's clear that the loss of the queen is still being felt keenly. for all the stoicism, that quality that she represented in abundance, it is plain that some, the blood family and those who knew her over the years,

are feeling very real grief. but now the late queen has one final duty. into westminster hall came the first watch of the vigil. the ceremonial bodyguard of the monarch, and officers from the household cavalry, who will stand at the four points of the catafalque as the lying in state begins and the people of britain and beyond have their chance to pay their final respects to their late queen. eight young man charged with carrying the coffin to the catafalque. what a responsibility. so immaculately done. geeta guru—murthyjoins us now from just outside westminster. those crowds will make their way

through the night into the hall. absolutely. britain does ceremony well and it also does queueing extremely well. people are standing here in good humour. they've already been here queueing all through london but in very, very good spirits. really pleased to be here. a lot of people from london and the south of england but also further afield. about 8000 people can fit into this part of the parkjust behind the palace of westminster. people are moving through in three, four, five hours, much less than the 30 hours predicted. perhaps at the weekend the queues will get longer as people have time off work and perhaps come from further across the uk and even across the world. we know people have travelled here just for this moment. as you can see, the people behind us are actually at the end of their queueing journey. they will go into the palace of

traditionally british, the queen and queues. stretching miles down the river thames, past the houses of parliament, the london eye, towards tower bridge. in its own way, magisterial. across the riverbank, where the queen lies in state. we first met vanessa on lambeth bridge on monday. she has been here ever since, more than 50 hours. number one in the queue. i'm happy that i'm going to be the first person when they are going to be opening the westminster hall to pay their respects. but it is going to be a sad moment. and when you get in there, what do you think your thoughts will be? i don't know what to expect. saying some prayers in my heart for her peaceful rest. and to say thank you for her great service. those at the front had camped overnight, braved the heavy rain and cold last night, but they have formed a community. good spirits, all with one aim — to have the chance

of a final goodbye. number 22 in the queue, 85—year—old michael slept here last night, waiting 27 hours. because she's lovely. you know, i'm in love with her, i think everybody is. she's amazing, that woman. there will not be another one like her. what do you think your thoughts will be when you finally get to file past the coffin? i will probably get very upset. i am now, i am feeling emotional. she means a lot to us. aisling, a former army major, and daughter rosiejoined the queue at seven this morning. why did you want to come down today, rosie? because i think it's good i we say goodbye to the queen before she goes up there. i think it's really important for history to be challengeable. i think being here and doing something as important as the lying in state is just, you know, something worth sitting around and queueing for.

bless these people in the queue, help them to keep warm... on his way to pray with the royal family, the archbishop of canterbury stopped here. when churchill lay in state in 1965, one writer described how there were now two rivers in london. "one is made of people," he wrote. nearly 60 years later, that river has returned and it will flow 2a hours night and day, until perhaps up to half a million people have had their moment in front of the queen's coffin. at four o'clock, an hour before the doors opened, they let the crowds stream across lambeth bridge towards westminster hall. the queue can stretch for ten miles. so far, it's nearly a third of its full length. it is moving well, though. and the public were finally allowed in to see their queen. vanessa was the first to pay her respects. michael, not far behind.

after their long wait, some short moments of reflection. after all, how do you contemplate what the queen has done? quiet, solemn, moving. lucy manning, bbc news. well, the queue seems to move forward and batches here, as you can see. people are on the move again. but over my shoulder, i can see just hundreds of people queueing in the pens, zigzagging, waiting to come into this final stretch here. no one is complaining. everyone has brought their supplies. they were actually pleasantly surprised today that they did not have to queue for 30 hours as the initially thought, and i've gone through in five or six hours,

and they have been very lucky with the weather. those cues might grow, so it is very worthwhile looking at the government website for advice and restrictions here if you do want to come down. of course, at the weekend, we may want to see more people coming down. but in the past three hours, i've interviewed a mother with a three—month—old baby, i've interviewed people from all ages and all backgrounds, and it is of course remarkable to see this event going on. we will be bringing you more coverage in the coming hours from here in westminster. geeta guru—murthy and to your guests, thank you very much indeed. let's get some of the day's with the news from around the world. —— other news from around the world. first, i want to take you to ukraine. a dam has been badly damaged in an attack by russian cruise missiles. it happened near the central city of kryvyi rih. it's affected the city's water supplies. president zelensky�*s chief of staff says the attack is revenge for ukraine's successes in a counter—offensive in the country's northeast. elsewhere, president zelensky

has visited izyum, one of the cities liberated in ukraine's ongoing counter—offensive. he oversaw the raising of the ukrainian flag and vowed it would soon be flying over every village in the country. russia still holds around a fifth of ukraine. but president zelensky says 8,000 square kilometres have now been liberated in ukraine's northeastern offensive. the purple area shows the substantial gains ukraine has made in just one week. and fresh accounts have emerged of brutality and murders said to have been carried out by russian troops in areas now back under ukrainian control. in one city, balakliya, the russians are said to have used the police station as a torture and interrogation centre. our correspondent orla guerin is there. 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 then made at their headquarters, and people were held here. we are told that locals were afraid to even walk by, in case they were grabbed and brought inside. now, there are small cells inside. now, there are small cells inside. as many as eight men were crammed in at any one time. we saw that someone had scratched a prayer on a war, and someone had scratched the days on the wall. we spoke 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 a0 days, he says, and he says he was subjected to torture with electricity, and he said he too

could hear the sound 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 is expected that more stories like this are going to emerge. orla guerin reporting from balakliya. more now on those ukrainian advances. our international editor, jeremy bowen, talks us through how surprising this counter—offensive is. well, russia has suffered a serious defeat. this is ukraine's biggest victory since they stopped the russians at the gates of kyiv back in march. at the beginning of this month, the red area was occupied by russia, and this is how it looks now. ukraine has recaptured an area around four times the size of greater london. the ukrainians have shown that they can mount an agile, well—planned offensive. now, it

started with deception in the south. ukrainian forces shelled important bridges, positioned soldiers, and talked about attacking along the black sea coast. the russians took the bait, moving some of their best units into the area. so, ukraine sacrificed one military virtue, surprise, to gain it in the far north. when they attack near kharkiv, then russian defences broke. you can see from the amount of equipment they abandoned that it was a rout, not a fighting retreat, oras was a rout, not a fighting retreat, or as the kremlin claim, a redeployment. more evidence of low morale. it was also another russian intelligence failure. they were taken by surprise. in contrast, nato, especially the us, has given ukraine the edge in intelligence, with real—time information and the weapons to exploit it. satellite guided missiles have destroyed

distant russian command centres and supply dumps, eroding russia's already inadequate capacity to run the war. ukraine's president zelensky has been touring some of the recaptured territory. he needed a victory to show less hawkish nato allies that new western weapons might even win the war. he wants more of them, and soon. russia still occupies around 20% of the country, including areas it seized in 201a, circled here in black. president putin will not consider himself beaten. he will try to hit back hard. he might issue more nuclear threats, which it would be foolish to ignore. on the front lines, it looks as if the russians are not clear what they are fighting for. ukrainians have no doubts. for them, it is all about national survival. jeremy bowen reporting.

ukrainian politicians say eight cruise missiles were fired at the waterworks in kryvyi rih. yuriy sak is an adviser to ukraine's defence minister. he told me more from kyiv. the region is propped dominantly agricultural. that means in the region there are numerous irrigation channels which are now used by the aggressor as their defence. the fortification structures. so it's much more difficult to conduct military operations there because of this reason. anotherfactor is military operations there because of this reason. another factor is of course the ukrainian army, unlike russia, is unable to and will never conduct bombardment of these areas. this was how the russians used to occupy our land from where they were now driven out. they would throw

50,000 artillery rounds a day in certain areas. we aren't doing that. we are using strikes on the russians. logistics against power lines. that's why in the south we are advancing slower but we are steadily advancing. can are advancing slower but we are steadily advancing.— are advancing slower but we are steadily advancing. can you talk to us about some _ steadily advancing. can you talk to us about some of _ steadily advancing. can you talk to us about some of the _ steadily advancing. can you talk to us about some of the reports i steadily advancing. can you talk to us about some of the reports we l steadily advancing. can you talk to i us about some of the reports we have seen of senior russian military personnel retreating back across the russian border? they have also been reports of movement within crimea. what are you seeing in the russian movement at the moment? what what are you seeing in the russian movement at the moment? what we are seeine and movement at the moment? what we are seeing and what — movement at the moment? what we are seeing and what we _ movement at the moment? what we are seeing and what we have _ movement at the moment? what we are seeing and what we have been _ movement at the moment? what we are seeing and what we have been seeing i seeing and what we have been seeing for the last seven days is a chaotic fleeing of the russian army. everybody is fleeing. they are abandoning their military equipment. they are abandoning the tanks, armoured vehicles, their systems, they are abandoning their people. but instead of leaving our territory

and their tanks, they are leaving our territory in the cars they steal from peaceful citizens. they are looting, which we have seen in certain cities early in april, the looting continues. the local citizens who we spoke to already after the occupying of those areas, they testified that these guys, they are doing what they are best at, looting. washing machines, kettles, laptops. this is an army of looters and terrorists. the swedish prime minister has announced she will stand down after her centre—left coalition was narrowly edged out by a bloc of right—wing parties in the country's election. magdalena andersson's party, the social democrats, still remains the largest party with thirty percent of the vote, but the coalition she leads has now fallen short of an overall majority. maddy savage is in stockholm.

this election has been on a knife edge over the last 2a hours but she has conceded tonight. who will be taking over? $5 has conceded tonight. who will be taking over?— taking over? as things stand we think it will _ taking over? as things stand we think it will be _ taking over? as things stand we think it will be the leader of a i think it will be the leader of a centre—right party called the moderates. this is fascinating coalition politics. he is head of the third largest party in sweden and that's because the party that came in second, the party does not have enough support. so he now has to go into negotiations with the nationalists, talk to them about what kind of role they might have, whether that might be formally in government or some sort of supporting role. then he's got to get the smaller right—wing parties to agree to whatever that is. we still aren't at the end of this electoral process yet but he's posted a video online. he said he is

already working to set up the next government. already working to set up the next government-— already working to set up the next covernment. . �* , , , ., government. we've seen this before in other european _ government. we've seen this before in other european countries, - in other european countries, populists being part of the coalition, how do you think this will change government in sweden? irate will change government in sweden? , will change government in sweden? , will have to wait and see. the blocks before the election were tight. there isn't a huge change after this election. the change will be whether the populist far right agenda will be able to trickle through into policies into laws or whether they will be blocked by other members of different parties because there are some on the right that don't agree with formal cooperation or a kind of formal coalition, including the nationalist swedish democrats. today it is a big mood change in sweden. there are people saying this is a devastating blow to social democracy. there are people celebrating saying they are absolutely delighted. i think that tells you a lot about how divided the swedes are. but we've still got

some things to unravel in the coming days. how powerful a role the nationalist sweden democrats will have in their next four—year mandate at the next government is still a bit unclear. at the next government is still a bit unclear-— bit unclear. thanks very much indeed. let _ bit unclear. thanks very much indeed. let me _ bit unclear. thanks very much indeed. let me take - bit unclear. thanks very much indeed. let me take you i bit unclear. thanks very much indeed. let me take you back| bit unclear. thanks very much i indeed. let me take you back to the live pictures in london. ourfocus is shifting from the ceremonial to this long line of people now weaving its way down the embankment, the south side of the river. you can see the palace of westminster behind. this line is now weaving its way back up embankment, across lambeth bridge, all the way past the london eye, right up to london bridge. if you were thinking ofjoining this queue over the next few days you should really have a look at the website, there is live detail on how long you might be expected to queue. this is the scene inside westminster

hall. very solemn occasion this evening. two lines of people filing past the catafalque on either side. you can see the first watch here which has been in place since five o'clock when the doors of the great hall opened to the public. we have seen people pause at the plinth the coffin is upon. some of them bow their heads. you don't ever know what is in peoples minds. people go a whole range of emotions. a lot of people we spoke to on the bbc tonight talking about how unsettling it can be and going into this atmosphere. some of them will have a shared experience with the king of losing a parent. it's been a great period of change in the united kingdom. some, of course, we'lljust

want to say their final farewell. —— will just want. want to say their final farewell. —— willjust want. we have seen some saluting. service people have come here tonight. not everybody will have met her, some will have been in her presence, some will want to give thanks for a life well lived, 70 years of service. what a spectacle it is tonight. 1000 years of history in that ancient hall. this man here just bowing his head. many people dressed in black. some have waited through the day in not very pleasant weather in london. mercifully it has been a lot better this afternoon. the sun did shine is that procession made its way down whitehall towards westminster hall. i was saying early in the evening that it really did

feel like another shift from the official, from the family to the public. as the queen was put into the care of the duke of norfolk and the care of the duke of norfolk and the watch of the household guards. and really it was an invitation, i guess, from the royal family, for the public, the nation, the commonwealth to share in their grief and to mourn the queen. the last occasion last night for the royal family to spend some time with the queen as she lay at rest. we are told that the family were finally able to take a break and have dinner together. but that was really the last moment with her. from here, of course, westminster hall, she will move straight to westminster abbey for the funeral on monday, and the doors will finally close at six o'clock on monday morning. there was

silence. occasionally you can hear the staff tap, instructions from the commanding officer to the watch stop every 20 minutes, if you are watching this on the red button on the bbc, you will see the watch change. there are formica shifts of six hours through a 24—hour period. —— four shifts. very slowly a member will approach and the four guards on each corner will be changed and they will be walked away. our correspondent has been speaking to people who have been inside westminster hall today and have already paid their respects to the queen. ~ , , ., , already paid their respects to the queen. ~ ,,., , ., ., , queen. absolutely amazing. very movin: . queen. absolutely amazing. very moving. beautiful _ queen. absolutely amazing. very moving. beautiful colours. - queen. absolutely amazing. very

pleasantly surprised at how the queueis pleasantly surprised at how the queue is moving a lot quicker than people feared. we've spoken to people feared. we've spoken to people who joined the queue at one o'clock and they had made their way through and out the other side of westminster hall by about seven o'clock. that is better than some people feared. but the queue is going to get longer, we think, so it may not be that quick force on people. but it was averaging around two and a half, three miles, orfour kilometres long today and throughout the afternoon i was talking to people who felt really impressed by how well it had all been organised. what is striking here, outside the houses of parliament, is just how quiet it is. how orderly it is. there are people milling around. they've come to look. they haven't necessarily come to see the late

queen lying in state, they are here to see the spectacle, if you like. but it is quite quiet. big ben, the large bell inside the clock tower, the elizabeth tower, which was named after the late queen, that has been silent since her death. it has remained silent as people have filed through the hall. i was speaking to a woman who was there paying her respects this afternoon and she told me that what struck her when she was there was how the coffin was up on this platform and that meant the queen was higher than everybody else in the room. it was at that moment she said that it struck her that the queen may have been very good at being amongst us all when she was alive, but now it struck her that she really wasn't a mere mortal, which i thought was quite a sort of

powerful thing to say. at which i thought was quite a sort of powerful thing to say.— which i thought was quite a sort of powerful thing to say. of course the queen was very _ powerful thing to say. of course the queen was very good _ powerful thing to say. of course the queen was very good at _ powerful thing to say. of course the queen was very good at mixing - powerful thing to say. of course the queen was very good at mixing the | queen was very good at mixing the official with the familiar. that was why she was such a success, i think, with all of the people she encountered during a very long range. zoe conway in central london, thanks very much. you can see how many people are in central london tonight. notjust people who are queueing but people who want to walk down the mall, we can see union flags, quite an impressive spectacle, and people are leaving their flowers and tributes in green park or indeed close to the gates of buckingham palace. since the death of the queen was announced on thursday, things have moved extraordinarily quickly. the new king has been formally recognised by the privy council. the parliament, the privy council. the parliament, the devolved government, and we've watched it all. centuries ago these proclamations were how the news was spread and it was crucially important. these days, though, we

have social media, which has been in overdrive since the news was announced so lets get a view on what sort of role whenever we have a wave of posts about a particular topic there is a risk of misleading posts or things to look out for. as ever, that is myjob, so i have some advice for people on some of the things they might see on social media that they might want to look out for. firstly, because we are getting lots of montages of old pictures and videos, that also means people are sharing old pictures in a misleading way. we have seen pictures of other royal events and people suggesting they are happening now. there is a picture of meghan markle dressed up to go to remembrance sunday, she is in black, you can see a poppy, it says this was meghan at the funeral dressed like diana. they are comparing them and implying this is the funeral but we know the funeral hasn't happened yet. it is happening on monday.

you can see various clues, the poppy on the outfits, it suggests it is old. some people are sharing it to say, wow, look at the similarities between meghan and diana, some are sharing it to be critical, saying, why is meghan not dressed like the other royals? but it is not true, so be careful when you see old pictures to question and interrogate them. we have been seeing lots of broadcast clips, people watching things on tv in real time, but that means people are re—sharing and analysing those clips and sometimes that analysis is interesting about different royals or what's happening but it is not always totally spot on and are sometimes speculative, so just be careful. sometimes it is taken out of context, looking at stuff from different angles, so when you see something like that, find the original clip and see if you can find more information about when it happened, what and why. we are seeing lots of satire, parodies of companies who have posted various tributes to the queen

and some of those satirical posts have gone viral with people thinking they are true. there is one example of mcdonald's, that picture of the queen on the mcdonald's checkout. that is not true, that is a picture from 2017 but i saw that on social media and thought mcdonald's had updated their screens, so just be wary, things that might be posted in parody but are not true. finally there have been points of debate, things people are talking about, questioning decisions, for example, to cancel nhs appointments on the day of the queen's funeral. that is true, but then people are asking whether other things are cancelled, and when there is an absence of information and people are looking for answers, we often find disinformation and rumours can spread, so go to reliable sources to check out those things. if you want to check if something is happening or check on an appointment,

go to the places where you can get that information, not social media. a lot of things demanding our attention. but what we have not talked about is the famine in somalia. the last, declared over ten years ago, killed a quarter of a million people. the international organization on migration also warned that the current drought has already claimed the lives of at least 730 children, but the true figure could be much higher, as nearly 8 million people are facing extreme food shortages. of course, the true figure in a war—torn country could be much higher. let's go now to geneva and join amy pope from the international organization for migration. she'sjust returned from somalia on an iom trip. what did you see, amy? it was extraordinary. _ what did you see, amy? it was extraordinary. the _

what did you see, amy? it was extraordinary. the situation - what did you see, amy? it was extraordinary. the situation is| extraordinary. the situation is quite dire. already, more than a million people have been displaced. i was in a south—west state, in an area where there are over 600,000 people that have lost their homes, livelihoods, and everything. they are on the road. most of them are women and children over 80%, and they are really lacking food, and shelter. there are children suffering from malnutrition. it is quite catastrophic, really. ithink i read there _ quite catastrophic, really. ithink i read there have _ quite catastrophic, really. ithink i read there have been _ quite catastrophic, really. ithink i read there have been five - quite catastrophic, really. ithink| i read there have been five failed harvests, now, of course, we are in the grip of an acute food shortage around the world, some of that caused by the war in ukraine. we were told that some of the grain that had come from ukraine was coming to the horn of africa to alleviate the pressure on some of the hardest—hit countries. has any of that got through? the hardest-hit countries. has any of that got through?— the hardest-hit countries. has any of that got through? some of it has. there is food — of that got through? some of it has. there is food available, _ of that got through? some of it has. there is food available, but - of that got through? some of it has. there is food available, but it - of that got through? some of it has. there is food available, but it is - there is food available, but it is getting it to the people who need it. right now, the prices of food

are extraordinarily high all over somalia, as well as in the rest of the world, so getting access to food not micro the security situation is rather complicated, to say the least, so it is difficult. some roads are not passable. and it is often a nomadic and agricultural people, so they can't do any farming themselves, their livestock have died, and they really have no other resources. how difficult is it, when you are on a visit such as the one you have been on, to get a true picture of the situation that is developing? can you get to areas? can you visit places where they don't have food? its extremely complicated to get there. we had to fly out on un planes to get there. of course, there is a lot of instability and insecurity in the area, so we had to go with security to visit. and then, when you went into the camps

themselves, you can see they are basically just themselves, you can see they are basicallyjust popping up all over the area. there are over 500 camps, for example, in the south—west state, and each camp is struggling to find food, resources, access to health care, which is almost nonexistent. so it is extraordinarily complicated to get the most fundamental things that people need. i saw children who are malnourished and in very, very dire circumstances. so many demands for the united nations�* help at the moment. amy pope, good to get your thoughts, having just returned from somalia, and surely a story we will be revisiting on the days ahead. thank you very much for your time. thank ou. you. let us lighten the mood a little after that serious news from somalia. i want to leave you with this. during all tributes to the queen

around the country, one character has appeared again and again and again. amongst all the flowers which have been laid down, there have been many sightings of paddington bear. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been finding out why, during this time of national mourning, so many people have turned to a bear in a famous blue duffel coat. here, there, paddington bear. even a marmalade sandwich for a monarch. from balmoral to buckingham palace, michael bond's much loved children's character has become a widespread part of tributes to the queen. this is very special. it is the original notebook my father had when he started writing a bear called paddington. and the writer's daughter has no doubt why many are using paddington to show that they care. one of the last things that people saw of the queen close up was when she did that marvellous sketch during thejubilee celebrations, and because that was the final image of the queen for many people, that's what they remember, and so they associate her with paddington.

i always keep one for emergencies! so do rr — i keep mine in here. it is causing the royals some problems. we are hearing they are saying, please don't bring any more cuddly toys or marmalade sandwiches. well, it is a bit worrying, really, thinking about what is going to happen to them. if people started, perhaps, instead of leaving the bears, which is a wonderful thing to do and of any kind thought, but perhaps leaving messages instead and maybe making a donation to one of the queen's favourite charities. and your father had his own long—standing links with the queen? he did, because my father worked for the bbc, and when the queen's coronation took place, my father was actually working on the outside broadcast, so he was at westminster abbey for the queen's coronation. one particular paddington picture has been repeatedly shared on social media. eleanor tomlinson from

willoughby, east yorkshire, first went viral after the platinum jubilee. this week, people have returned to her work. i am not really an emotional person, but i was very teary looking at the photos, because it is one thing to see something online and being shared with the lovely comments, but to see it in that kind of setting, amongst a sea of flowers and tributes, is just something completely else. and at the railway station which gave paddington his name, people believe he is the perfect bear for this moment in history. i think it's marvellous that the opportunity to engage children with this as well, and a lot of children have done pictures with the queen and paddington, and one thatjust caught my eye and i took a picture of it, itjust said, "paddington, i've done my best, now take me to my husband."

paddington is this british bear who loves london, who loves marmalade, loves the queen, loves the royal family. i don't know. i don't knowjust what it is. it is pretty nice, though, isn't it? i think he represents the best in all of us. | the simpler side of humanity. thank you. for everything. that's very kind. the queen had a very good sense of humour. i'm sure she'd find it entirely fitting that paddington was playing such a role that this very sad time. let me show you before i go the final time tonight, the pictures in westminster hall. you can, of course, look at this live on the red button if you are watching in the united kingdom. a steady stream of people, still filing past the catafalque, and you can see the watch there, still. this is the latest watch of the household guard. we have seen them change every 20

minutes as we have been watching through the evening. for those who are thinking of coming tomorrow, there is some information on the dc ms website, which tells you how long this queue is, but it will be a long wait. ten to 15 millimetres of rain fell across southern parts of the uk through last night and into this morning. but with the clearance of that weather front this afternoon, the wind direction has changed for all. it's coming down from the north. it's a chillier direction, but that northerly breeze is picking up and it's quite a brisk wind that will continue to blow showers in for the rest of this evening and overnight to northern and eastern areas, one or two for the north sea coast, and also one or two coming in across northern ireland and western coasts of england and wales as well. but inland, a chilly night, chilly again in the glens of scotland, possibly a touch of grass frost here. and even though double figures further south, it will feel fresher. we've lost that humidity now that has been with us

for this part of the week. and that cold northerly wind is coming right the way down from the arctic, and so too is our air, and that will continue to filter southwards. so we're in for some chilly nights and some fresher days, but still there's strength in the september sunshine, and plenty of that around on offer first thing thursday, the cloud come and goes. again, quite a few showers and the odd sharp shower across northern and eastern scotland, moving into eastern england. one or two further west across northern ireland and the irish sea coast of england and wales as well, perhaps the cheshire gap, but it might be that we only see 18 or 19 on thursday. that'll be the first day since early june that we haven't had 20 degrees somewhere in the uk. sojust an indication that it is quite a cool airflow, and quite a brisk wind as well through thursday and into friday, particularly around the coast further showers, but inland temperatures continue to dip away. so we'll get single figures in the countryside further south as well. the winds probably going to peak thursday into friday, particularly for north sea coasts, and there will be plenty more showers working their way southwards on a weather system,

perhaps fewer, and the wind starting to fall lighter further west because high pressure is starting to build in during the course of friday, into northern ireland, western fringes of england and wales, and then over the weekend across much of the uk. so if you're heading to london, a fresher 15 or 16, but feeling pleasant enough in the sunshine, just an outside chance of a shower, but through the evening and overnight, early morning, it really will feel chilly, perhaps the first widespread chilly snap of the autumn. but otherwise, there's a lot of dry and settled weather on the forecast.

tonight at ten... the queen's coffin is now lying in state in the palace of westminster, for the public to pay its final respects. it follows a solemn procession from buckingham palace, with a horse drawn gun carriage bearing her majesty. walking behind, her children and grandchildren, as well as other members of the royal family, led by king charles. thousands of people witnessed the procession, some overcome by the moment. and this is the scene tonight in westminster hall,
