10:18 pm
earlier today, king charles made his first official visit to wales, bringing to a conclusion his tour of the four uk home nations since becoming monarch. the king attended a service of prayer and reflection for the late queen at llandaff cathedral in cardiff. the king and the queen consort also visited the senedd, where he responded to a motion of condolence in both english and welsh — and then headed to cardiff castle, where large crowds of well—wishers lined the streets to cheer for the royal couple, and some presented them with gifts and flowers. our special correspondent allan little has been watching the day's events and is at cardiff castle for us now. it has been a hectic schedule, hectic few days for the king and the queen consort. the new king spent the first week of his reign to hug the first week of his reign to hug the devolved nations of the united
10:19 pm
kingdom very close. this last visit of the tour, to the country whose title he said he had been proud to carry for more than half a century, the title of prince of wales, a title that he now passes to his own air. expresses of affection for the devolved nations have been a hallmark of this tool, but so have the gestures and statements of respect for the distinctions and character of those nations. the truth was —— the same is true of his mother, the late queen. there is something special about this final leg of his tour of the nations, it has the character of a homecoming. his relationship with wales is intimate. as a student, he studied the welsh language and spoke welsh at his investiture as prince of wales in 1969. many of the people he met today have known him for years.
10:20 pm
fanfare. llandaff cathedral was rebuilt after being bombed in the cardiff blitz. it connects us and the royal family to the great shared british experience of the second world war. queen elizabeth's visit here in 1960 marked its restoration, a symbol of the long recovery from war and its aftermath that characterised the early years of her reign. here, the king and queen consort attended a service of prayer and reflection for her life. he speaks welsh. the first minister, mark drakeford, read from the first book of kings, which includes the verse, "and now, oh my lord, you have made your servant king." welsh was confirmed as an official
10:21 pm
language here only in 2011. it is strengthening in this age of devolved government, the bilingualism of the service, another celebration of the distinctiveness of wales within the uk. as wales gains an even stronger sense of nationhood and our place within the world, we should still remember that shared traditions count. outside the cathedral, there was another of those moments he has seemed this week to relish most. this is a king who wants to be visible and to engage directly with the people. the future of the union has been at the heart of this first week of his reign. for at every turn, the king has embraced the distinctive traditions by which the nations of his kingdom express their identities. the biggest danger to to the union is arrogance around its continuation. i suspect the monarchy has got
10:22 pm
perhaps even greater sensitivity than politicians to this, because there's a real sense of understanding that the cultural and political heritages of each of the nations is very different. and certainly the queen reflected that in her remarks when she was opening the national assembly and then the senedd. and i would expect king charles to do the same. and he did. on the floor of the senedd, he replied to a motion of condolence in both languages. through all the years of her reign, the land of wales could not have been closer to my mother's heart. roedd lle arbenig i gymru yn ei chalon. i know she took immense pride in your many great achievements, even as she also felt with you deeply in time of sorrow.
10:23 pm
it must surely be counted the greatest privilege to belong to a land that could inspire such devotion. i am resolved to honor that selfless example in the spirit of the words by which i have always tried to live my own life... i serve. cardiff castle, where this first tour of the new king's reign ended dates from the time of william the conqueror. a reminder in medieval architecture of the long continuities that the monarchy is rooted in. here in the afternoon sunshine, the king greeted thousands who'd come to see him. it was a relaxed end to an otherwise energetic first week, a week in which it has been easy to forget that the king is also leading his family through a period of intense private sorrow, a sorrow on which the eyes of the world intrude.
10:24 pm
on monday, he will lay his mother to rest and lead the country of britain itself, its shared history, its shared identity. the title prince of wales is not universally loved or admired here, it was originally held by indigenous welsh rulers and was taken by edward the first for his own son. so for welsh nationalists and some others it carries in it the memory of the conquest and subjugation of wales by the english crown. as our wales corresspondent hywel griffith reports, wales remains divided over its own relationship with the rest of the united kingdom and with its attitude to the monarchy itself. filled with fervour, in allegiance all in anger. each came with their own reason to witness a piece of history.
10:25 pm
the cheers sang out alongside the jeers. most wanted to welcome a man who, for the first time, rob came to wales as monarch. they also wanted to remember his mother. very special to see the king and the queen consort. and what a very sad but emotional week we have had. it's a really important time for us and for this. if we can't go to london, obviously we can come here. i came here because of my son. his name is charles, _ so he really wants to see the king. i'm a proud welshman and a royalist as well. and the two things can go together? definitely. others do have their doubts and held a silent protest,
10:26 pm
respecting the queen's passing but resisting what is followed. i don't believe someone should be born into a position of power to rule over us. i don't think perhaps we would have been up to day had the new king not set about putting his son into the position of the prince of wales, but he did that very soon after the death of the queen and therefore we felt compelled to come here today to show that we have a different view that we want that to be shown as well. university college aberystwyth, j where to the relief of the nation prince charles was given a warm and very friendly welcome. i those tensions have brewed for decades. in 1969, ahead of his investiture, charles came to aberystwyth for a crash course in welsh. an attempt to win over a nation sceptical of having an english prince of wales. it didn't placate the protesters. today may not have come with quite the same pomp and pageantry as 1969, but it has shone a spotlight on the relationship between wales and the house of windsor, and where it goes from here.
10:27 pm
the first minister mark drakeford is an avowed republican and also determined to remain diplomatic. long—term, should wales retain the monarchy? well, i'm talking to you as the first minister... your personal view? i'm not here to give you my personal view, i'm here as the first minister, and i think, representing what i believed to be the views of contemporary wales, i think people in wales do think that there is a part that the monarchy can play here in wales. part of what binds the united kingdom together. and i think people in wales would look to see that continue. for some, the politics are secondary to the personal. beryl came clutching a card she had received from balmoraljust two days before queen elizabeth's death. i felt so sorry for charles and i
10:28 pm
wish him all the best. i saw a different side to charles this week and i think he will make a good king. and i think he will make a good kinu. ., ., , ., ., king. the weeks and months ahead will show how _ king. the weeks and months ahead will show how he _ king. the weeks and months ahead will show how he hopes _ king. the weeks and months ahead will show how he hopes to - king. the weeks and months ahead will show how he hopes to define . will show how he hopes to define that role and whether the whole of wales wants to embrace him. hywel griffiths, bbc wales, cardiff. the king has done two things simultaneously that reveal something about the kind of king he wants to be. he has led the country in the ritual rising of its sorrow and that surrey has been expressed quietly in the streets as people have gathered to watch the queen's coffin passed by on a treat. and those who are queueing tonight in london and those who queued early in the week in edinburgh as it lay in rest and lazing state. it has been expressed by politicians and the warmest of words spoken and memories of oak. even by those political leaders who seek to take their countries out of the united kingdom altogether. that
10:29 pm
has been the second striking thing he has done this week. extended a hand to the devolved nations of the uk. he expressed expressed his late mother's and his own affection for the devolved nations and his respect for the distinctiveness of their traditions, their values and their institutions. to signal his understanding of the nature of the united kingdom, the kingdom he inherits as a union state, a voluntary partnership of nations. in that, as in much else, he is following what he called in northern ireland the shining example of his mother. we have also watched the central tenet of institutional monarchy, the smooth passing of the crown from mother to son, played out in public. alongside the sense of lot, there is the public expectation of continuity. queen elizabeth came to embody a certain conception of britain itself, a shared history and
10:30 pm
identity. what will endure of that when this period of mourning is over and in the years that lie ahead, the king has given us this week a sense of how he in intends to fill a space in the country's life and the country's affection is that the loss of his mother leaves behind. allen, thank you. now, the other main news. ukraine's president zelensky has accused russia of commiting war crimes in territory recently re—taken by ukrainian forces in the north east of the country. officials say they've found more than 400 graves containing civilians and around 20 soldiers who are said to have been found with their hands bound. they were discovered in the city of izyum, which russian forces captured in april. ukraine says the bodies will be exhumed and sent for forensic examination. izyum is among the areas back in ukrainian hands after significant territorial gains in recent days,
10:31 pm
although heavy fighting is continuing in the areas shown in circles here. orla guerin has sent this report from izyum, and it contains some distrssing images. under the pine trees of izyum, a war crimes investigation. this burial site has more than 400 graves, now being exhumed. the earth starting to give up its secrets. but the prosecutor here claiming that one way or another, russia killed the dead. "according to our data, almost everyone died because of russian soldiers," says this man. "some were killed, some were tortured, some were hit in russian air and artillery strikes." he says the very first grave
10:32 pm
they opened contained the body of a civilian with a rope around his neck. almost all the dead here are said to be civilians, women and children among them. but a senior official told us there was one mass grave with more than 20 soldiers. some had their hands bound, and bore signs of torture. for those at the scene, it was hard to take. this is a distressing sight, but ukraine is determined that the world should see it. graves are being opened here one by one. it is only now, after the russians have been pushed out, that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how many victims they left behind.
10:33 pm
they were buried here in makeshift graves, many marked only with a number. among them, a 65—year—old called lyudmila, who was killed in march in heavy russian shelling. her husband tells me he had to bury her in the yard. she was brought here in august. now her remains will be disturbed again. "she was beloved," he says. "we had no children, god didn't give us that gift." "but we were in love." as the graves were exhumed, security forces were still eliminating threats with controlled detonations of russian minds. maxim came to the
10:34 pm
burial site to tell his story and show the marks on his wrists and ankles where he was shackled. he says he was held by the russians for a week earlier this month, and tortured with electric shocks. they connected wires, he tells me. you start shaking and trying to set yourself free. i fell from you start shaking and trying to set yourself free. ifell from my you start shaking and trying to set yourself free. i fell from my chair. it was very painful. i asked my cell—mates how long i was gone. they said a0 minutes. cell—mates how long i was gone. they said ao minutes. i think after 15 or 20 minutes, you pass out. as the day wore on, workers from the emergency services were drained by their labours. but they are expected to be digging out more sites like this in
10:35 pm
other areas recently taken back from the russians. orla guerin, bbc news. joining me now is our international editorjeremy bowen. jeremy, some disturbing material there. do we really know what has happened? there. do we really know what has ha ened? ~ there. do we really know what has happened?— there. do we really know what has ha ened? ~ ~ ., ., j happened? well, we know what they've been tellin: happened? well, we know what they've been telling reporters _ happened? well, we know what they've been telling reporters there _ happened? well, we know what they've been telling reporters there like - been telling reporters there like orla, that they have found some bodies that look as if they have been badly treated. more awful tragedy in ukraine, but is it war crimes? you don't really know that until there has been a proper investigation. in previous wars they were big forensic operations opening these grave to try and really treat them like a crime scene, to try and find out what happened and full examinations of the corpses, and certainly over the years, one thing i would say about that is that you saw those lines of crosses. over the years as a journalist, i've seen quite a few places, and it's quite
10:36 pm
rare that they would bury people who were killed illegally, unlawfully, in individual graves like that and keep a record. generally speaking, what they would do is dig a pit and push them in. this what they would do is dig a pit and push them in-_ push them in. this discovery was made in territory _ push them in. this discovery was made in territory that _ push them in. this discovery was made in territory that was i push them in. this discovery was made in territory that was taken | made in territory that was taken back from the russians in recent days. we can see it there on the screen over in the east. just remind us how important izyum is and why it is significant. us how important izyum is and why it is significant-— is significant. that area in purple u . is significant. that area in purple u- the is significant. that area in purple up the top _ is significant. that area in purple up the top of _ is significant. that area in purple up the top of the _ is significant. that area in purple up the top of the map _ is significant. that area in purple up the top of the map there, i is significant. that area in purple| up the top of the map there, that is significant. that area in purple i up the top of the map there, that is strategic, areas that russia still control, and they would bring supplies through their which they clearly can't do now, so the importance of this works on a couple of different levels. on the battlefield, an extraordinary breakthrough for the ukrainians, may even turn the tide of the war, it is too soon to say. also a reminder that the russian army has really serious problems in terms of morale,
10:37 pm
in terms of command and control, in terms of intelligence, in terms of firepower even, those guys apparently were not well armed. so it works on a wider level too, because this is something that president putin has to try and explain, and he has been at this regional summit in uzbekistan, and he has actually stood up and said, yes, i appreciate that the chinese have some misgivings about that. they are meant to be his best ally. a big contrast with ukraine. their best ally, the united states, is sending them $1 billion worth of equipment a week, and they are making it tell. meanwhile, the chinese president is not even mentioning ukraine in his speech. so i think it could be that these countries, like individuals, they want to back the winner, it may be to start with they thought that they were in terms of president putin and
10:38 pm
ukraine, but now he's increasingly under a lot of pressure, criticism at home as well of the war effort, and so they are thinking, wait a minute, do we want to be associated with this? , , minute, do we want to be associated with this? , ., ,, , ., , with this? jeremy, thank you very much. with this? jeremy, thank you very much- jeremy _ with this? jeremy, thank you very much. jeremy bowen. _ now a look at some other stories making the news today. two police officers have been treated in hospital after they were stabbed in central london earlier this morning. the suspect, who was also in hospital, has been arrested. the stabbing took place near leicester square, and people say it is not related to the queen's death, or terror related. a former bbc radio presenter who was found guilty of stalking four people including the broadcasterjeremy vine has been jailed for five and a half years. alex belfield stalked his victims by harassing them online. train drivers are set to stage more strikes in october as part of a long—running dispute over pay, the bbc understands. drivers at 12 train companies
10:39 pm
are expected to strike on the 1st and 5th of october. the train drivers' union, aslef, has not commented on the proposed industrial action out of respect ahead of the queen's state funeral. friends and colleagues of the former bbc broadcaster bill turnbull have paid tribute to him at his funeral service in suffolk. bill, who hosted bbc breakfast for 15 years and was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018 died in august aged 66. the pound has fallen to a new 37—year low against the us dollar after figures showed uk retail sales fell sharply in august as the rise in the cost of living continued to hit households. our business correspondent emma simpson is here with the details. thanks, reeta. well, today's retailfigures are fairly dismal and a sign of how inflation is eating into household budgets. retail sales volumes,
10:40 pm
that's the quantity of goods bought, fell by 1.6% in august compared with the previous month. this figure is three times worse than had been expected and the biggest fall so far this year. and it happened across every main category, from petrol stations and supermarkets to clothing, furniture and department stores as well as online. with soaring prices, consumers are buying less and focusing more on everyday essentials. the figures have heightened fears that the economy is already in, or heading for, a recession, prompting a further fall in the pound. now you can see with this graph how much pressure sterling's been under this year. it's been falling against the dollar. so have most major currencies. that's mainly because the dollar has surged in value. but deeper concerns about the uk economy are also worrying investors. today, the pound dropped by more than 1%, tojust $1.13.
10:41 pm
that's the lowest level since 1985, although it has recovered slightly. the pressure's now on for policymakers from the bank of england and its decision on interest rates next thursday to the new chancellor's mini budget the day after, when more details are expected on the government's new energy support package as well as liz truss's promised tax cuts, which she hopes will get the tills ringing. thank you, emma. now, after all football was postponed last weekend following the death of the queen, tonight saw the start of the delayed women's super league in england. it's hoped the new domestic season will build on the success of the lionesses in the summer at what could be a pivotal point in the women's game. here's our sports reporterjo currie. the wsl returning for a new season. arsenal hosting brighton on a friday

10:45 pm
the procession will travel from wellington arch in central london, past heathrow airport before arriving at windsor castle. the final part of the procession up windsor�*s famous long walk is expected to be done on foot. a committal service will then take place at four o'clock in st george's chapel, before the queen is buried alongside the duke of edinburgh in a private burial service at 7.30. well, around 500 heads of state, dignitaries and members of royal families from around the world will be attending the queen's funeral at westminster abbey. it will be one of the biggest security and logistical challenges the country has ever seen, as our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. this ancient abbey may be the stage for an historic state funeral on monday, but it will also play host to an extraordinary assembly of world leaders. hundreds of foreign dignitaries come to mourn the queen, but also attend a diplomatic gathering, the like of which not seen for decades.
10:46 pm
they'll have a chance to attend the lying—in—state at westminster hall. this afternoonjacinda ardern, the prime minister of new zealand, was among the first foreign leaders to pay their respects. and on sunday, they'll go to a reception with the king at buckingham palace. they'll also be able to sign a book of condolence down the road at lancaster house. all this is going to require a huge amount of security. oh, it's just enormous. i think the the scale of those involved in the full ceremonial is into the thousands. in addition to everything that's happening in the funeral, we've got world leaders coming from all over the world who, of course, need to be sure of their own protection. and we need to make sure that this is an enormous event that can pass off safely and securely. but before going to westminster abbey on monday, these global statesmen and women
10:47 pm
will have to pay a perhaps unexpected visit to the royal hospital chelsea, famous for its pensioners and flower show. the royal hospital here will become something of an upmarket park and ride. kings and queens, heads of state and government will arrive there on monday morning amid tight security, and then they'll do something they probably don't do very often... ..they�*ll take the bus. buses, perhaps a bit like this one. there are just too many vips coming for each to take their own cars. so the emperor ofjapan won't be able to use his rolls—royce and might have to sit on the bus alongside a mere politician or diplomat. they are here principally to honor the queen, not to talk to each other. and so they are more pliable, they will do the bidding of the foreign office protocol perhaps more happily than if this had been a summit. but yes, who sits next to whom, who's talking to whom will be something on the minds of everybody there. of course, there'll be exceptions. the president of the united states doesn't take the bus, he takes the beast, an armored car
10:48 pm
he used this week as he visited the british embassy in washington. not everyone's coming. president putin's not invited because of russia's invasion of ukraine. and president xi of china will probably send his deputy. but some mps don't want even him to come because of china's human rights abuses. so politics may follow the politicians into the abbey, but once inside, the focus will turn inevitably to the woman they've come to mourn. james landale, bbc news. in a moment, we'll get the latest on the transport situation over the weekend, with our correspondent katy austin. but first our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is at scotland yard, daniel, as we've heard a huge operation under way. on monday the metropolitan police will deploy more officers on the streets of london than they have ever deployed before. there will be
10:49 pm
the biggest vip protection operation they have ever mounted. over the weekend they have an emperor, several kings and queens and multiple printers, presidents and prime ministers gathering and coming together in one place on monday morning in westminster abbey. the number of police officers on the streets of london on monday will be bigger than the entire workforce of the second biggest police force in england, west midlands police. the metropolitan police is being boosted ijy metropolitan police is being boosted by well over 2000 officers coming in from forces outside london as a kind of national mobilisation. i have seen officers from scotland, from wales and northern ireland and just over that there is a van apart from durham constabulary, one from north yorkshire constabulary has just left. it is a huge national mobilisation of officers. officers will be lining the entire length of the ceremonial route on monday through central london and specialist will be poring over the
10:50 pm
cctv images coming back with the crowds. other officers will be mingling with the crowds looking for any tell—tale changes of behaviour. there will be firearms officers on rooftops and police officers manning road closures and patrolling the river thames. road closures and patrolling the riverthames. every lamp road closures and patrolling the river thames. every lamp post within the ceremonial area is being opened and check for any explosive device, closed again and sealed. none of this is new, it has all been done before but never been done on this kind of scale. leaders here at scotland yard are not sure they will ever mount a security operation like this ever again. and katie, you are in waterloo station, what are we expecting over the coming days? the pressure on london's transport network is expected to grow over the weekend and on monday, the date of the state funeral. the transport commissioner told me the biggest challenge is yet to come with
10:51 pm
potentially over a million people coming into central london. but there is extra services and staff where possible. one pressure point could be a monday afternoon and evening after the event has finished and transport bosses are encouraging people to delay theirjourneys home so cues do not build up at tube stations and railway stations. when it comes to trains and extra services are being put on during the night a major london stations like this will be open 2a hours a day, some empty passenger trains are being used as a waiting area is in some places. other transport changes happening on monday include london victoria coach station will be closed because of the road closures that have to be in place. heathrow airport is altering 15% of its entire daily schedule. it says as a mark of respect and keep this skies quiet over london and over windsor at key moments during the day. that does mean some flights have been
10:52 pm
cancelled. katie austin, thank you. queen elizabeth had a special relationship with south africa, a country she visited as a princess on her first trip to africa. she returned twice as queen, witnessing huge change over more than half a century. some south africans have quietly mourned the queen's death, remembering in particular her friendly relations with nelson mandela after the overthrow of white majority rule. but others point less fondly to the enduring legacy of britain's empire in africa. andrew harding reports from cape town. it's 1947, and a converted warship is taking the royal family to the southern tip of britain's vast african empire. newsreel: sunshine, good food, everything that goes _ to make a perfect holiday. on board, and holiday spirits, two princesses, elizabeth and margaret. but once ashore in cape town,
10:53 pm
elizabeth turns 21 and reflects earnestly on her future role as queen. i declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and to the service of our great imperialfamily to which we all belong. amidst the crowds at her birthday party that night, a black guest, a young ballet dancer, now 94 years old. i felt absolutely enraptured, honoured, overwhelmed to see her on her 21st birthday. johaar mosaval would later dance at the queen's coronation. i danced a solo for her majesty, queen elizabeth ii.
10:54 pm
the first black dancer in the royal ballet company. in the world... in the royal ballet, yes. the i9lr7 royal tour was declared a success, white crowds lining the streets of colonial cape town. newsreel: these events - in south africa are being watched by the whole world. they will silence many voices - which have been all too ready to say that the british empire is over. but in truth, that global empire was already crumbling. soon after that, royal visit, south africa would lurch away from the crown and the commonwealth. a white minority government came to power and introduced a system of apartheid, designed to crush the black majority. it would be half a century before queen elizabeth would return here to cape town. when she did return in 1995,
10:55 pm
she was met by south africa's most famous prisoner, now democratically elected president, nelson mandela. now, underyourwise and generous leadership, south africa is emerging onto the world stage. the two regal figures were soon on first name terms. people would say, how can you say elizabeth to the queen? and mandela would say, but she calls me nelson, so what is wrong with my calling her elizabeth? _ very much a relationship of equals. very much so. unusual. very unusual. significantly, and despite security concerns, the queen insisted on visiting poor and often violent black townships, attracting curious, enthusiastic crowds. so, it meant a lot to people here that she came. it meant a lot, she came here. and wasn't scared.
10:56 pm
she was not scared, she was not scared, yeah. but in the same township today, many remain trapped in poverty. nothing is getting better here. there is more violence, crime, poverty. the young, in particular, inclined to blame their struggles on colonialism. your grandmother loved the queen but you not so much? i wouldn't say i don't like the queen, no, no, no, i just would say the impact of colonialism... i am looking and facing the everyday reality that is because of the impact of colonisation. so, that is what i am looking at. so much has changed since princess elizabeth first came here. in death, the queen is now fuelling new debates about the legacy of britain's old african empire. andrew harding, bbc news, cape town. let's take a look at the latest pictures now
10:57 pm
from inside westminster hall, where people are filing past to see the queen lying in state. entry starts at so the park with almost a 20 hour wait to get to the front. officials are warning temperatures will be cold, but as you can see, people are not being deterred. this is the scene inside westminster hall where people are still filing past to see the queen lying in state. they are people of all ages taking a moment to pay a personal tribute. time for a look at the weather. here's helen willetts. as you have already mentioned it is chilly outside westminster and if you are up early in the morning around dawn, ground frost is expected, ourfirst around dawn, ground frost is expected, our first widely chilly night of the autumn, temperatures in parts of cumbria and oxfordshire
10:58 pm
expected to get too close to freezing. it is because the wind is coming down from the north. it has been a brisk wind bringing the arctic air into eastern areas and still a few showers overnight. these are the towns and cities earlier i showed you rural. it will be surprising how chilly it is tomorrow morning and if you are heading into london to the weekend it will be cooler than average by day and certainly by night. largely dry on balance. we do have a few showers for eastern england, the north and east of scotland here. the breeze will continue to ease away and it is more likely we will see patchy fog across northern ireland so not quite as chilly here as last night. find sunshine tomorrow, bit the cloud across scotland, temperatures on a par with those of the day. feeling pleasant as the winds start to ease and particularly near the north sea coast. because we are introducing more cloud across scotland, the north and showers, it won't be quite as chilly on sunday morning. it means we might have a bit more cloud
10:59 pm
on sunday and perhaps one or two more showers, north—western parts of england and wales and perhaps a few more back into east anglia as well. one or two for scotland and northern ireland. with light winds we might have morning fog but by the afternoon, mid to high teens. high pressure moves in a monday and we will pick up more of a fog problem into the beginning of next week even though there could be some around into the week as well. a few showers, the outside chance for london of a shower on monday but i think on balance for most of us, the rain should stay awake until tuesday. thanks, helen, and all from us here at the bbc news at ten. there here at the bbc news at ten. is more on the storie bbc there is more on the stories on the bbc website.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. king charles and his three siblings hold a vigilfor their late mother — queen elizabeth — as she lies in state in westminster hall. i'm shaun ley in westminster — where the public are queuing through the night — for their chance to pay respects to queen elizabeth as she lies in state. earlier, king charles ended his tour of the uk in cardiff, addressing members of the welsh parliament, and greeting crowds who came to welcome him.
