11:47 pm
queen's health, coverage of pakistan was much more prominent, suddenly here. so, it is interesting to get his perspective from the new york times, which of course is talking about the royal family, the headline is princess and's growing influence and workload, that is the angle they have chosen to take. but it is focusing on pakistan and they have started, haven't they, and, with the view from a mud brick home that used to bring this man a sense of relief, the classic way of towing the story, by looking at it from a personal angle flash. by looking at it from a personal angle flash-— angle flash. the plight of that erson angle flash. the plight of that person represents _ angle flash. the plight of that person represents the - angle flash. the plight of that person represents the plight l angle flash. the plight of that. person represents the plight of angle flash. the plight of that - person represents the plight of so many— person represents the plight of so many farmers in the centre prevents currently. _ many farmers in the centre prevents currently, they don't know whether to flee _ currently, they don't know whether to flee or— currently, they don't know whether to flee or whether to stay but it is quite _ to flee or whether to stay but it is quite clear— to flee or whether to stay but it is quite clear these floodwaters may not miss —

11:50 pm
let's now bring you up to date with the latest on what will be happening over the weekend. tomorrow evening the queen's grandchildren, including the prince of wales and the duke of sussex, will take part in a vigil beside the queen's coffin in westminster hall. a one minute silence to reflect on the life and legacy of the queen will be held across the uk on sunday evening at eight o'clock — that is the night before the queen's funeral on monday, the state funeral for the queen will take place at westminster abbey, with the service starting at 11 o'clock. a two minute silence will be held as the service ends, just before noon. the route for the queen's funeral procession to windsor from london was revealed today. 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
11:51 pm
burial service at half past seven. 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,
11:52 pm
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. 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. 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 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...
11:53 pm
..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 honour 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 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
11:54 pm
inevitably to the woman they've come to mourn. james landale, bbc news. tens of thousands of people queueing. let's take a look at some images of victorian gardens here. we understand from the government website that is keeping a check on this that if you were to join the queue now it would take you about 19 and a half hours to get to the front of it. it is going to be a cold night, people have been advised to wrap up warm, you've got to hope that they looked at the forecast before they set off, anticipating that they would be there probably through the night, and took some warm clothing with them. lots of people there to monitor the queue and ensure the welfare of those in
11:55 pm
it and from everything we have heard and the people that we have spoken to, they have talked of how encouraging it has been to have conversations with those around them, exchanging numbers, making new friendships, and we are just hearing from the police that a man has been detained following an incident in westminster hall as thousands of mourners filed past the queen's offering to pay their respects. the natural collagen police that the mood was disrupted around 10pm on friday and do live feed from inside the hole cut away for a brief period, police officers detaining a man for an offence under the public order act, a 19—year—old man detained by police, thatjust coming
11:56 pm
to us from metropolitan police. meanwhile, the great majority of those filing through the whole doing so with the utmost respect. you are watching bbc news. hello there. the temperature on thursday afternoon got up to 21 degrees in worcestershire, but it is going to turn cooler in the coming days, and if we don't reach 20 celsius anywhere in the uk on friday, that'll be the first time since earlyjune. now, overnight tonight, we continue with those clear skies across many parts. still, though, some showers across northern scotland, the odd shower or two coming through the irish sea, into north wales and down the eastern side of england. temperatures still just about holding up to 11 celsius in the southeast of england, but elsewhere, those temperatures will be lower than last night, into single figures. but friday starts off with lots of sunshine for many of us. as we go through the day, once again, there will be a few showers coming in off the irish sea

to north wales, up into northern areas of scotland, and in particular down the eastern side of england. and it's here where you'll really notice that rather strong north—northwesterly wind. gusts of 35, a0 miles an hour. it will make it feel particularly fresh, if not raw. highs of only 12 or 13 celsius. but further west, away from those strong winds, with lighter winds in that sunshine, temperatures 17 or 18, possibly 19 degrees in south wales and southwest england. and of course, if you're heading to london in the coming days, it's looking dry. there will be some sunny spells. it will feel quite cool, particularly overnight. so if you are queuing in the overnight period, do bear that in mind, as temperatures will drop down into pretty low single figures in the coming nights. and that's because that area's coming all the way from the arctic. look at those blues there across the uk as we go into saturday morning. in fact, saturday morning could be one of the coldest starts that we've had since the end of may for many parts. an isolated frost possible in central and southern parts of england. lots of sunshine, though, again on saturday. just again one or two showers

into the far north of scotland, perhaps one or two brushing those eastern coasts of england. but for most of us on saturday, staying dry with those sunny spells. temperatures, again, around about 14—17 or 18 celsius. for the rest of the weekend, this area of high pressure starts to build in a bit more from the west, and that means that the stronger winds that we'll have around the north sea will start to just ease off. look at the isobars there, just kind of going apart a little bit more. so lighter winds there, not feeling quite as cold along those eastern coasts in the coming days and the weather set fair, really, as i say, for many of us up into the bank holiday monday and the queen's state funeral. bye— bye.
