i take itake up i take up my new duties with immense gratitude for the privilege of having being able to serve as prince of wales. in other news, ukraine will exhume hundreds of bodies found in graves outside izyum, a city recently recaptured from russian forces. it's only now after the russians have been pushed out that the authorities can really investigate and establish how many victims they left behind. hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. the queen's four children, led by king charles, have held a vigil at

westminster hall — standing in silent contemplation around their late mother's coffin — while members of the public filed past quietly to pay their respects. earlier, the queue to see the queen lying in state reopened after a pause of several hours, but mourners are being warned of a wait of up to 20 hours in chilly overnight temperatures. the king and the queen consort, camilla concluded their uk tour earlier in the day in wales, where the king addressed the senedd in both english and welsh. our coverage starts with this report from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. they are four people with a unique bond. king, a princess and two princes to whom she was first and foremost a mother, as well as their queen. charles, anne, edward

and andrew entered the hall and approached the catafalque. all of them were in uniform. the king took his place at the head of the coffin. the duke of york at the foot. the princess royal on one of the flanks, the earl of wessex on the other. they stood with their heads bowed. watching, members of the extended royal family, though not princes william and harry. they, with the queen's other grandchildren, will mount a vigil tomorrow evening. the vigil of the sons and daughter lasted a little less than 15 minutes, personal tribute on a very public stage, and all the while, the long lines

of spectators continued to foul past. of spectators continued to file past. for them, they had been an added reward. i think the strength it took the king and his siblings standing there in front of so many members of the public was really overwhelming. yes, so strong. those children are so strong. on a busy day for the new king, an important speech about diversity and faith. he told faith leaders at buckingham palace that he would be sovereign of all communities. society can only thrive through a clear collective commitment to those vital principles of freedom of consciousness, generosity of spirit and care for others which are, to me, the essence of our nation. i'm determined as king

to preserve and promote those principles across all communities and for all beliefs with all my heart. and while the new king sets the tone for his reign, those who served the queen for many years are reflecting on the public reaction to her death. extraordinarily humbling i think is the first word that comes to mind. it's been so beautifully organised, and this ability for thousands of people to pay this tribute, and i do think that that is an essential part of this ten day mourning period, this contact between us, the people, and our departed queen. on monday, the state funeral will take place, when the queen's coffin will be born to westminster abbey on a gun carriage.

i think it will be hugely important. it will be the culmination of this long period. it will be, i believe, intensely moving, deeply solemn, but a moment, i think, a real moment of national catharsis. it isn'tjust britain which is marking the queen's passing. the prince and princess of wales have been meeting troops from different commonwealth countries who will be taking part in the state funeral. a solemn day which will mark the end of a long reign. nicholas witchell, bbc news. tens of thousands of people are waiting for their turn to pay their respects to queen elizabeth ii at westminster hall where she is lying in state. these are live pictures from westminster where the queuing time is currently around

those who have made it to the front of the queue of 19 and a half hour wait from start to this point and the sombre respectful atmosphere of westminster hall. earlier on friday, king charles made his first official visit to wales — bringing to an end his tour of the four uk home nations, since becoming monarch. he attended a sevice of prayer and reflection for the late queen, and visited the welsh parliament — the senedd — before meeting wellwishers alongside the queen consort. alan little reports. 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. 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 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 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. 0n 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.

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. on monday, he will lay his mother to rest and lead the country in mourning a monarch who had come to embody much of the character of britain itself, its shared history, its shared identity. allan little, reporting on king charles' visit to wales. around 500 heads of state, dignitaries and members of royalfamilies from around the world will be attending the queen's funeral at westminster abbey on monday. 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.

they'll have a chance to attend the lying—in—state at westminster hall. this afternoon, jacinda 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 will 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. this is the single largest protection operation that the met police has ever undertaken. we are well versed with working with and engaging with leaders and their support teams from across the world, and that's what we'll be doing next week to ensure this a safe and secure environment. 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 here on monday morning amid tight security, 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 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 is talking to whom will be something on the minds of everybody there. of course, there will be exceptions. the president of the united states doesn't take the bus — he takes the beast, an armoured car he used this week as he visited the british embassy in washington. not everyone is coming. embassy in washington. president putin is 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. let's took a look at other news. and the authorities in ukraine say they've found a large burial site containing more than 400 graves in a city recently recaptured from russian forces. ukrainian officials say most of graves contain the remains of civilians but there were also some soldiers with their hands bound. they were discovered in izyum in the east of the country — which the russians used as a logistics hub for their war effort. ukraine says all the bodies will be exhumed and sent for forensic examination. speaking of the discovery, president zelensky said �*russia leaves death everywhere.�* 0ur senior international correspondent, 0rla guerin,

sent this report from izyum — and a warning you may find some of the images distressing. 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 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. 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 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. like this in other areas recently taken back from the russians. let's get some of the day's other news officials from tajikistan and kyrgyzstan have both blamed each other for clashes on their disputed border that left around thirty dead or injured. both countries accused each other of using heavy weaponry to shell homes and infrastructure. at least ten people have died in italy after heavy rains and flooding hit the central region of marche. search operations are under way for four people who're still missing. about forty centimetres of rain fell in three hours, that's a third of the rainfall usually received in a year. emergency teams in china have been tackling a fire at a skyscraper in the central city of changsha. as these pictures show, the fire took hold of the building — which houses an office of the state—owned company china telecom. it's not clear how the fire started. let's return to the death of queen elizabeth 11. the late queen must be one of the most photographed people in the world, but what does it take to get a really iconic photo of the monarch?

for nearly two decades, photographer chris jackson has captured some of her majesty's biggest moments for getty pictures agency. including this one — that i'm sure we all remember with the queen smiling on the balcony of buckingham palace during trooping the colour — and of course her great—grandson — prince louis — with a rather different reaction to the jubilee flypast. i spoke to chris earlier about what it's like photographing the late monarch. a photograph from the queen has always been a huge privilege and she has certainly been one of my absolute favourite people to photograph they think that is because of how incredibly unique she was. she was an incredible figure and you talk about her aura and ifind incredible figure and you talk about her aura and i find that myself when she came into her room, she had an incredible presence i think a lot of that was due to the fact that whilst he was just another day at work for her, she really understood what her presence meant to other people. for other people

it was the most exciting day of their lives and it made her incredibly, i think, their lives and it made her incredibly, ithink, exciting to photograph in the latter years we suffer less regularly and every occasion was even more exciting and important and yes, she was amazing to photograph. i5 yes, she was amazing to photograph. is overlooked, addinu photograph. is overlooked, adding the _ photograph. is overlooked, adding the person - photograph. is overlooked, adding the person we i photograph. is overlooked, adding the person we have| photograph. is overlooked, i adding the person we have is a wedding anniversary photograph of the queen in prince philip and there, we have it on screen now and certainly remember this one well myself. the 73rd wedding anniversary, i believe. talk to us about taking this image. talk to us about taking this imaue. , , ., talk to us about taking this imaue. , ,. . ., , image. this is a particularly poignant — image. this is a particularly poignant one _ image. this is a particularly poignant one and _ image. this is a particularly poignant one and certainlyl poignant one and certainly resonated with people because it was during covid—19 times and families cannot necessarily meet up and you can see the duke looking at this card made fran by his great—grandchildren prince george and prince

william having the connection between generations really resonated for anyone to reach the 73rd wedding anniversary is an absolutely incredible achievement and having an opportunity to take a candid photograph like this was really special. looking at the background, he can see the towers of the castle and i suppose it's symbolic and features and so many of these historic pictures of the year and is something that will be there and photographs and so many pictures. a, there and photographs and so many pictures-_ there and photographs and so many pictures. a very intimate photograph — many pictures. a very intimate photograph in _ many pictures. a very intimate photograph in the _ many pictures. a very intimate photograph in the next - many pictures. a very intimate photograph in the next one i many pictures. a very intimate photograph in the next one is l photograph in the next one is the queen visiting a new maternity ward in 2012 and one of the many duties, countless duties that she carried out throughout her long rain are fantastic expression on her face in this one.— fantastic expression on her face in this one. yes, this is something _ face in this one. yes, this is something a _ face in this one. yes, this is something a little _ face in this one. yes, this is something a little bit i something a little bit different, son of favourite

tribute as our arts correspondent reports. it is a creation best seen by plane or drone. it was planted in the spring for thejubilee and it was almost cut down. thankfully, it was saved because it has now become a place of memorial. it was created for the jubilee? that's right, yeah. what was originally for, like, a lovely celebration, a happy celebration for the queen has now become a real tribute to her. normally, you would've gotten rid of it by this time of the year. but you're going to keep this, i'm presuming now? yes. we're going to try to keep it for as long as possible. so, a place that began as a celebration has, in many ways become a place of memorial but we but it will soon be gone. however, there are many others not thinking about how to create some lasting memory of this moment. this mural, for instance, was commissioned and created within hours of last week's sad news.

abraham, ourartist, was here at 5:30 yesterday morning and we were done by about 3:30 and so, we smashed it out pretty quickly. a request from the children of gainsborough primary who were very proud of their new artwork. what did you think when you first saw it? i thought it was a beautifull painting and i was so happy with the people that did it. it's amazing. not all of us can lay flowers and a palace key queue for the lying in state. but there are many ways to remember. let me leave you with live pictures from westminster hall — where queen elizabeth is lying in state. we'll leave you now with a look back at the main events of the day.

you the atmosphere here at westminster calm, solemn, and perhaps in the air a sense of bitter sweetness, people mourning the monarch's death while at the same time reflecting on her long life and her 70—year reign. this great room is full of people but it is almost silence here, just the odd interruption, the sound of boots of the stone floor, the duty officer typing commands with his stick and the occasional cry of a child. it has been like theysince five o'clock on wednesday afternoon since black roared signified

the doors could be opened. people have felt been —— it has felt like an infinite line. paying that private respectively queen. some people walk past the catafalque in private thought, some hold their hands in prayer or make a sign of the cross, others turn on their heels and raise their hand as they raised their hand in an informal salute as they say their farewells. some of the visitors here knew the queen personally worked for her but most of us in this hall only knew her from a distance as the monarch, photographed in as the monarch, photographed in a newspaper seen on the television or perhaps encountered for a few precious

seconds during the walkabout after the opening of a theatre or a hospital or another public building. for15 or a hospital or another public building. for 15 minutes this evening, the queen's subjects will bejoined by her children, the king, the princess royal, the king, the princess royal, the duke of york and the earl of wessex, full siblings mourning the death of their mother. the union flag lowered victoria towel —— tower, change for the royal standard, and on this day, when so much of the focus has been on wales, four officers from the welsh guards. first, the royal vigil here was a 1936, the final night at the vigilfor a 1936, the final night at the vigil for george a 1936, the final night at the vigilfor george v when a 1936, the final night at the vigil for george v when the new king, edward viii decided to stand watch around the catafalque with his brothers as a tribute to their late father. the king was joined

a tribute to their late father. the king wasjoined by the dukes of gloucester and kent, and the then duke of york who later that same year became george vi. he was to lie in state here when he died in 1952, and now 70 years later, his daughter rests in westminster hall. this is the second time that her majesty's children had stood vigil. they did so on monday evening while the coffin lay in st giles' cathedral in edinburgh. in 24—hour is an estimated 33,000 people filed through to pay their respects. the queen that children reflecting their own grief as

the queen said... nothing that can be said can begin to take away the anguish and pain of these moments. grief is the price we pay for love. cheering.

the candle burns in front of the royal standard. they replaced each evening. behind the candle, the imperial state crown and the orb and sceptre. many of these people filing in will have no idea they are about to share their moment of visual, their moment of paying respect with the queen was like children. the welsh guards doing their

duty. an officer on each corner of the coffin there, uniform distinguished with their buttons arranged into groups of five. a leak on their shoulder and collar badges and you can see there white plume on the shoulder of their bearskins —— on the left of their bearskins. the westminster cross stands at the head of the coffin. and the

bouquet of flowers, rees of white roses and dahlias and pine from the balmoral estate where the queen died at last thursday, lavender, priddis boreham, and rosemary, the symbol of remembrance. the yeomen of the guard, one of the bodyguards doing their duty in this feature. —— in this vigil. and all of this under the great hammer beam roof of westminster hall, this great open space without a single pillar to obstruct the view, as the public enter the of the

hall, looked down the steps, they are immediately struck by they are immediately struck by the vision of her majesty's coffin resting on its catafalque and bier of red and purple. the welsh guards established at the height of the first world war. the duty officer using his stick to instruct the men. and here come the queen's children, the king, the queen's children, the king, the princess royal, the earl of wessex, and at the rear of the party, the duke of york.

they walk forward to the catafalque. they will take place, one on each side. the queen's children paying respect as they mark vigil to their mother here in westminster hall.

and so with three taps from the duty officer's stick, this extraordinarily visible act of private mourning comes to an

end, the children of the queen standing vigil in front of their mother's coffin here in westminster hall. a formal duty to the nation, a loving duty to their mother. the king, the princess royal, the duke of york, the earl of essex and the duke of york, their faces stoic as they still there. —— the earl of wessex. the members of the public filing past. these people who have come from near and far to make this pilgrimage to express their sorrow the death of the queen. tonight's vigil reflects the relationship between the monarchy and the state, for

members of the family morning their personal loss surrounded by hundreds paying tribute to a loved and respected figurehead, meeting of private and public grief. 0ur continuous coverage of the line in state continues on the bbc red button, the bbc website, the bbc parliament channel and on the iplayer. it will be that till monday morning when her majesty the queen leaves westminster hall for a finaljourney to westminster abbey and on to windsor castle. meanwhile, those at the head of this vast slow—moving snaking line of people continue to descend the steps into westminster hall. some have carefully planned for their time in the queue, others have joined, it seems, on an

impulse. i have seen steady outdoor —— outdoor gear alongside summer shorts, schoolchildren in blazes, guides and scouts, men and women wearing the black of mourning, suits, work wear, genes, clerical collars. couples supporting each other as they passed the coffin, teenagers standing in all, family groups standing in several generations, mother holding a toddler almost too big for her arms. tens, hundreds of thousands of people all united in their desire to pay theirfinal respects all united in their desire to pay their final respects to her majesty the queen.

hello. the weather will stay largely dry in most places during this weekend but we are experiencing some of the coolest weather we have had for quite some time, some cool days, and also some decidedly chilly nights with high pressure building in from the west, but the winds and high pressure flow around in a clockwise direction and as we find ourselves on the eastern edge of the high, well, that means our winds are coming down from the north and that has brought some rather cold air in our direction. still quite breezy through the first part of saturday close to the eastern coast but lighter winds further west, quite a chilly start, even touch of frost in places. as we go through the day, we will see spells of sunshine. still some showers grazing eastern coasts, perhaps especially across norfolk, some in northern scotland as well. and, generally, a build—up of cloud across scotland and northern ireland, where is england and wales will hold onto some sunny spells.

temperatures ranging from 10 degrees in lerwick to 1a in aberdeen and 18 or 19 in cardiff and in plymouth. now, as we go through saturday night, more cloud filters in across the northern half of the uk with a few showers. with that extra cloud cover, it is not going to be quite as chilly. if the skies do clear for any length of time, temperatures will drop, the coldest weather to start sunday morning will be down towards the south, could be one or two fog patches here first thing, that is where we will see the best of the morning sunshine. more cloud with a few showers drifting southwards through the day, still quite breezy for this eastern coast but not as windy by this stage. temperatures still lower than they have been of late, 1a. now, we look ahead to monday, the day of the queen's state funeral, high pressure building more strongly. that means there will be light winds for most as we start the day, allowing some stand for patches to develop.

wherever we have clear skies overhead, there is the potential for some of that mistiness around first thing. some spells of sunshine through the day but generally quite a lot of cloud, giving rise to quite a few showers, north—west scotland, maybe irish sea coasts. just a small chance of a shower in the london area on balance, i think it should stay just about dry. 13 to 19 degrees. now, as we look beyond that ended tuesday, high pressure will be trying to hold firm but this frontal system pushing in from the west will bring cloud and some patchy rain into northern ireland in western scotland, this front likely to be a weakening feature but it will bring more in the way of cloud. the wind is shifting, though, south—westerly winds are starting to develop so that will start to make it feeljust a little less cool, and that trend continues until wednesday. in fact, where we get some sunshine, the best of that across eastern parts, it will feel rather warm add 20 or 21 degrees. we see another frontal system starting to push in from the west, that could bring rain later in the day into northern ireland and western scotland. and that weather front will have a little more energy

about it so it will bring rain for many parts as we move into thursday. some uncertainty than about how quickly it moves through, some computer weather models keep this frontal system with us for a little while, others push it through quite quickly, it is most likely that into next weekend high pressure will start to build again from the west but it may well be that frontal systems affect the northern half of the uk, bringing cloud and some outbreaks of rain at times, potentially some quite brisk winds as well, further south likely to be dry with some spells of sunshine. and by this stage, into next weekend, the days will be less cool and the nights less chilly.

this is bbc news, i'm nancy kacungira. our top stories: king charles and his three siblings hold a vigil for their late mother, queen elizabeth, as she lies in state in westminster hall. thousands continue to queue for hours to file past the coffin, with the line stretching for miles through the streets of london. i'm mark lobel, live in westminster. i'll be talking to some of the tens of thousands who have been saying their final farewell for the queen. 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. i take itake up i take up my new duties with immense gratitude for the privilege of having been able to serve as prince of wales. in other news: ukraine will exhume hundreds of bodies found in graves outside izyum, a city recently recaptured from russian forces. it's only now, after the russians have been pushed out, that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how many victims they left behind. hello and welcome to bbc news. the queen's four children, led by king charles, have held a vigil at westminster hall, standing in silent contemplation around their late mother's coffin while members

of the public filed past quietly to pay their respects. earlier, the queue to see the queen lying in state reopened after a pause of several hours, but mourners are being warned of a wait of more than 20 hours in chilly overnight temperatures. the king and the queen consort, camilla, concluded their uk tour earlier in the day in wales, where the king addressed the senedd in both english and welsh. 0ur coverage starts with this report from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. they are four people with a unique bond. a king, a princess and two princes, to whom she was first and foremost a mother, as well as their queen.

charles, anne, edward and andrew entered westminster hall and approached the catafalque. all of them, including andrew, were in uniform. the king took his place at the head of the coffin, the duke of york at the foot. the princess royal on one of the flanks, the earl of wessex on the other. they stood with their heads bowed. watching, members of the extended royal family, though not princes william and harry. they, with the queen's other grandchildren, will mount a vigil tomorrow evening. the vigil of the sons and daughter lasted for a little less than 15 minutes, a personal tribute on a very public stage. and all

the while, the long lines of spectators continued to file past. for them, there had been an added reward. i think the strength it took for the king and his siblings standing there in front of so many members of the public was really overwhelming and breathtaking, really. yeah, so strong. those children are so strong. on a busy day for the new king, an important speech about diversity and faith. he told faith leaders at buckingham palace that he would be sovereign of all communities. society can only thrive through a clear collective commitment to those vital principles of freedom of conscience, generosity of spirit and care for others, which are, to me, the essence of our nation. i am determined as king to preserve and promote those principles across all

communities and for all beliefs, with all my heart. and, while the new king sets the tone for his reign, those who served the queen for many years are reflecting on the public reaction to her death. extraordinarily humbling, i think, is the first word that— comes to mind. it's been so beautifully organised — this ability for thousands of people to pay this tribute. and i do think that that is an essential part of this ten—day mourning period — this contact between us, the people, and our departed queen. on monday the state funeral will take place, when the queen's coffin will be borne to westminster abbey on a gun carriage. i think it'll be

hugely important. it will be the culmination of this long period. it will be, i believe, intensely moving and deeply solemn, but a moment, i think — a real moment of national catharsis. it isn'tjust britain which is marking the queen's passing. the prince and princess of wales have been meeting troops from different commonwealth countries who will be taking part in the state funeral. a solemn day which will mark the end of a long reign. nicholas witchell, bbc news. tens of thousands of people are waiting for their turn to pay their respects to queen elizabeth ii at westminster hall, where she is lying in state. these are live pictures from westminster, where the queuing time is currently around 19.5 hours.

many have braved the cold temperatures for hours to get inside westminster hall, where the closed coffin is guarded by soldiers. you can see some you can see some of you can see some of those queues here as well, people waiting in the cold to go inside. for all the very latest, we can nowjoin mark lobel in westminster. as you say, people continuing to fail in. you can probably see peoplejust over to fail in. you can probably see people just over my shoulder queueing up for that final stretch before they enter westminster hall. there was one incident about three hours ago and westminster hall which the queen probably wouldn't have approved of, an incident for which a suspect is being held in custody. according to newspaper reports, a man tried to walk up the steps and take the royal standard of the coffin and was tackled by police. it all lasted just a couple of seconds. we have had a statement from the met police that said a man was arrested for an offence under the public order act and is currently in

custody. about 15 or 20 minutes after that incident took place, my guests now filing through westminster hall themselves had a very different experience to that. let me introduce you to rob and his queue body, which is the equivalent of a penpal these days. let's start with you, rob. you are a former infantryman. two that is correct. you were telling me about a key decision in your life that took you on a path for which you think the queen. tell us about that.— tell us about that. that's correct- _ tell us about that. that's correct- l— tell us about that. that's correct. i was _ tell us about that. that's correct. i was brought i tell us about that. that's correct. i was brought up tell us about that. that's i correct. i was brought up on a council— correct. i was brought up on a council estate and was sort of mixing — council estate and was sort of mixing with the wrong types of people — mixing with the wrong types of people. a moment happened in my life where _ people. a moment happened in my life where i— people. a moment happened in my life where i saw inspiration to 'oin life where i saw inspiration to join the — life where i saw inspiration to join the military and obviously the queen being the head of that was the deciding factor for me _ that was the deciding factor for me. if i hadn't taken that path — for me. if i hadn't taken that path i — for me. if i hadn't taken that path i probably wouldn't be standing in front of you now, i would — standing in front of you now, i would be _ standing in front of you now, i would be somewhere different, and chosen a different career. and _ and chosen a different career. and that — and chosen a different career. and that career has taken you to many places. it and that career has taken you to many places.— to many places. it most definitely _ to many places. it most

and although there was a small amount of booing from a few protestors, it was followed by others singing god save the king. 0ur wales correspondent hywel griffith reports filled with fervour, in allegiance all in anger, each came with their own reason to witness a piece of history. the cheers sang out alongside the jeers. most wanted to welcome a man who, for the first time, came to wales as monarch. they also wanted to remember his mother. how could we miss this occasion? very special to see the king and the queen consort, and what a very sad but emotional week we've had. it's a really important

time for us, because 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? 0h, definitely, without doubt, yes. others do have their doubts and held a silent protest, 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 out today 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. archival: university college, aberystwyth, where to - the relief— of the nation, prince charles was given a warm. and very friendly welcome. 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 the investiture in 1969, but it has shone a spotlight on the relationship between wales and the house of windsor, and where it goes from here. the first minister, mark drakeford, is an avowed republican, but also determined to remain diplomatic. long—term, should wales retain the monarchy? well, i'm talking to you as the first minister of wales. but your personal view? well, 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. it's 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 balmoral just two days before queen elizabeth's death. i felt so sorry for charles, and i wish him all the best. i saw a different side to charles this week, and i think he'll make a good king. the weeks and months ahead will show how he hopes to define that role and whether the whole of wales will embrace him. hywel griffiths, bbc wales, cardiff. let's take a look at other news. ukraine's president zelensky has accused russia of commiting war crimes in territory recently retaken 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 had 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, with ukraine having made significant territorial gains since the start of the month, although heavy fighting is continuing in the areas shown in circles here. 0rla guerin has sent this report from izyum, and it contains some distressing 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 already claiming russia is responsible

for all of the dead. "according to our data, almost everyone died because of russian soldiers," says 0leksandr. "some were killed, some were tortured, some were hit "in russian airand artillery strikes." he says the very first grave they opened contained the body of a civilian with a rope around his neck. was this knife was recovered from the remains of a soldier. 0fficials from the remains of a soldier. officials told us more than 20 soldiers were found with signs of torture. 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. 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." emergency circus workers drained by their labours. we can't be sure of what killed

all those buried here, but they expect to be digging in more areas like this recently taken back from the russians. 0rla guerin, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news. officials from tajikistan and kyrgyzstan have both blamed each other for clashes on their disputed border that left around 30 dead or injured. both countries accused each other of using heavy weaponry to shell homes and infrastructure. at least ten people have died in italy after heavy rains and flooding hit the central region of marche. search operations are underway for four people who are still missing. about 40cm of rain fell in three hours. that's a third of the rainfall usually received in a year. emergency teams in china have been tackling a fire at a skyscraper in the central city of changsha. as these pictures show, the fire took hold of the building, which houses an office of the state—owned company china telecom. it's not clear how

the fire started. the white house says it's deeply concerned by the death of a young iranian woman after being arrested by iran's morality police. president biden's national security adviser jake sullivan described the incident as "unforgiveable". mahsa amini, who was 22, died after being detained in tehran after allegedly violating the islamic republic's strict dress code for women. let's return to the death of queen elizabeth. today we saw new zealand prime ministerjacinda ardern pay her respects at the queen's lying in state, and on monday we'll see her attend the late monarch's funeral. during her 70—year reign, queen elizabeth made more than 200 visits to commonwealth countries which included tours to the southern hemisphere, where she visited australia 16 times and new zealand ten times. on these visits, her majesty and prince philip were protected by vast numbers of security personnel to ensure their safety.

short island, and she was going to have lunch at a house built by, all the houses on this island are a beautiful carry, and there was a request for no police. but we had a lot of trouble with in that particular area, bombs thrown at the governor—general and the previous visit of the queen they had thrown wet towels at her, so we had on this island, we put a squad ashore and they were to clear, there were no other visitors on the island, and they were to clear the island and make sure, they were to build hides and keep the royal family under observation without being seen. come the sunday morning when it was

pouring and miserable, and the guys didn't think they would come ashore, and then fortunately the steward who was supposed to go up to the house and load the fire and take the hot lunch up thought the same thing. philip did not want to come ashore and there was a difference of opinion, what we call a domestic, and finally the queen would have put down and they came ashore. they walk up and they came ashore. they walk up through the bush, it was pouring with rain and they got to the house, there was no view because it was absolutely bucketing down, and anyway, they went inside and no fire lit, no lunch, and there was another dispute between the queen and the duke, our guys were all in the bush and once

the queen went inside, the sergeant said —— sent two cops and the dog handler up to have lunch at another house we were using about 100 yards up the hill. anyway next thing the queen came storming out of the house and putting a raincoat on and taking off to where our guys were having lunch. and the sergeant, once the queen got by, gave them a radio call and they looked out the window and there is a wet bedraggled lady walking up towards them, followed behind by her aquarian lady—in—waiting. so that is... this is incredible. it is almost as if, you could be talking about anyone really. thank you for sharing those very personal and touching memories with us, bob silk, good to have you with us.

do stay with us here on of the queen's funeral. —— stay with us here on bbc news as we continued to bring you coverage of the queen's funeral. friday was the first day since 1june that nowhere in the uk reach more than 20 celsius, which was because of the breast northerly wind that brought in showers. but the wind is gradually easing, high pressure is moving in to give a largely dry weekend but with some cool days and some chilly nights. temperatures are tumbling away in the clearing skies, but there are still showers peppering north—eastern scotland and eastern england, but they are diminishing in number. temperatures in the towns and cities will get to single figures, fours and fives

in places and out in the country had lower still, but perhaps not quite as chilly as last night in northern ireland. my last night in northern ireland. my likely here to see some patchy fog, but elsewhere if you are up early enough you may see your first touch of frost on the grass. but otherwise despite that unusually chilly start, quite a surprise i think for many, they will be plenty of sunshine. you are showers for eastern england, compared with friday. still one or two for scotland and in the north we have a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud which will put claudia skies into northern ireland and further south through the day. still bright and dry for many, just an outside chance of a shower. we are losing that really keen breeze in the east, so temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coasts either. as we go through saturday night into sunday, it is worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. the chilly start particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost,

not as widespread sunday morning because we have got more cloud. it should be dry and fine in london if you are heading to kew here. as i say, it will be a chilly start. now we do have more cloud on a very weak weather front which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales, and the north midlands and perhaps towards the south and perhaps towards the south and east. brighton dry again for many with some sunny spells as well. and that is the set up for sunday. from a neighbour high pressure is moving across the uk, that weak weather fronts or close to the south and east but we can't relax however london, but on balance it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach of the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards.

this is bbc news. the headlines: king charles and his three siblings have held a vigil for their late mother, queen elizabeth, as she lies in state. the king, his brothers and his sister stood silently next to their mother's coffin as they took part in their own family tribute. thousands have continued to queue for hours to file past the coffin to pay their respects. the queues show no sign of shrinking, with the lines stretching for miles through the streets of london. estimated waiting times have varied between 19 and 22 hours. in other news , ukrainian officials say they've found more than 400 civilian graves outside izyum, a city recently recaptured from russian forces. announcing plans to exhume the bodies, ukraine's president zelensky accused russia of commiting war crimes in the north—east territory.

now, a special edition of click, first broadcast injuly. they asked: can tech go green? this week, we are going green, although other colours of nature are available. oh, i can change the colour of my tree. we discover some highly unusual building materials. it is, in a sense, mould in here. that's the strangest case of rising damp i've ever seen. no, the whole place is made of it. and spencer meets

the man behind an icon. this is your baby. but as the ipod is laid to rest for good, we meet the robots built to break down your iphone. and also, cats — big ones. a giant redwood — the largest tree on earth. and this one's been laser—scanned with lidar technology, capturing a sense of the endangered species so viewers don't have to physically visit california's sequoia national park to be inspired. it's beautiful. this digital art exhibition at london's barbican centre aims to get more people thinking about the interconnectedness of humans and nature, the materials we use in day—to—day design, and how to build cities that are fit for the future.

at a time of extreme climate crisis, we've got to consider all of these things if we're going to avoid an apocalyptic fate. this is one of the more controversial... the digital technology we have can create a sense of awe, a sense of wonder and a sense of playfulness, but, ultimately, it can ignite hope and ignite a sense of courage to enact change. what are we doing here? so, this is, essentially, us dissipating into particles. we're looking at our identity through the lens of fluid ecology. you've done this before, you're more flowery now than me. i've got that growth energy going on, yeah. i remember my old drama classes where they said, "pretend you're a tree." now i don't have to do those classes anymore. immersive media that transports us in size and place lets us play games with the elements and see our surroundings differently is not only a joy to experience, but could help us rethink a world in which sustainability must come first.

i'm also here to meet the man behind some of apple's most iconic devices. first, though, paul carter's been to the netherlands to look at a new way to try and make sure that these things don't keep piling up in the back of your drawer. it's estimated that the amount of e—waste generated last year was over 57 million tonnes, and that figure is set to increase year on year. although phone recycling is on the rise, the majority of handsets still end up in landfill. traditional methods of recycling phones generally involve shredding them in industrial machines and then sifting them to remove the precious metals or reusable material. but apple, who produced over 200 million iphones last year, has devised a modern way

of recovering the materials, and they let me in to have a look. most of us are now quite used to the idea of recycling our phones when they reach the end of their life. but if you're anything like me, you probably don't think too much about what happens to them once you send them away. here, at a secret location in the netherlands, apple have created daisy, this robot behind me. and it takes the process of recycling these things to a whole new level. let's give it a go. daisy can completely deconstruct an entire iphone from start to finish in undera minute. the product travels through four modules. the first step separates the display from the iphone. what's happening behind me is the removal of the batteries. and to do that, it's using really cold air — —70 degrees celsius — to actually stop the adhesive from working so the battery can be taken out.

it's pretty cool. afterwards, the screws are taken out, before all the different components are separated by the machine. all individual bits and pieces land here to then be sorted bya human. most modern smartphones contain as many as 30 elements and rare earth materials, including cobalt, tungsten, gold and tin. and the world economic forum has warned that some elements may be completely depleted in 100 years. apple claims that new methods of recycling phones, like daisy, could help recover more of these metals from end—of—life phones, and that its products contain more recycled materials than ever before. rare earth elements and metals require extensive mining with considerable environmental, social and political impacts. our goal is to make all of our products using only recycled or renewable material. daisy is helping us with that — she can do 23 models of iphone, she can do 2.4 million units a year, and all of that means

more material going back around a circular supply chain so, ultimately, we can end our reliance on mining. daisy concentrates on 14 key materials which would otherwise be extracted from the earth, from the rare earth magnets to the aluminium in the housing. if you take, for example, the main logic boards, the cameras and the flexes, one tonne of that has the same amount of material that we'd have to mine 2,000 tonnes of new material to get to, so it's quite important and also it's much lower carbon. but it's notjust about recovering the materials, but crucially, getting them back at a purity where they can be used again. the brute force traditional methods of recycling can degrade the recovered materials or miss them entirely, meaning they can end up in landfill, causing pollution and environmental damage. perhaps, though, the most sustainable solution of all would be reducing the volume of e—waste we create in the first place.

paul there, in the netherlands, looking at ways to reduce our e—waste. later in the show, spencer will be talking more about sustainability with the co—creator of the ipod. now, here in the uk, conservationists are also seeking to protect the earth and the joy of living things on it. they've gone for a rest in the shade. my daughter's favourite, i had to come and see them for her. london zoo's best known for protecting endangered animals. there are over 750 different species here. think you might be able to hear one of them behind me! but today, i'm taking a leafier approach. i'm going to sow some seeds with my smartphone. this is the eiwaz tree of life app. your mission — to plant a virtual tree. ok, so i need to find a big space — that hits sorted. scan your surroundings and digital branches unfurl in augmented reality. oh, wow, there's a tree. a big tree.

and a series of mini games plays out. oh, no, it's on fire. all to unlock your very own digital seed. a heart is drifting to the ground, and tap to grow. you can design and snap pictures of your own creations too. 0oh, i can change the colour of my tree! but this isn't just for fun. the app also tells you where in the world a real tree is going to be planted on your behalf, giving impact and carbon information. and to mark the moment, you could always rope in a friend to take a video of you under the ar branches. the app's creator believes that this intersection of art, technology and science can inspire real change. martine, tell me about the technical process behind the ar app. eiwaz tree of life was essentially made by drones

3d—scanning an ash tree, and then we put it through the processing software photogrammetry, and then that essentially takes the 2d photos and makes it into a 3d asset. add to that some virtual sculpting and gameplay developed on unity, and you get an exciting interactive experiment. the essence of this is that i want to empower people, i want them to feel that they're part of the solution and they're part of a greater movement in a battle for nature. martine has sourced donations to grow 200,000 trees. 140,000 of these will be earthed in the philippines, which has lost 50% of its mangroves. the mangroves are i biodiversity superstars. they provide nursery - grounds for local species. they are vital stocks i of fisheries and income for communities. they protect coastlines - from damaging floods and storm surges, and they also lock vast amounts of carbon i into the ground.

replenishing this kind of natural resource is vital, even if trees aren't cute or fluffy. animals are great ambassadors for conservation. _ i'm standing here in front of our penguin exhibits, i which are always l incredibly popular. however, conservation can be quite an abstract notion. - we can be asking people to care about things that are many - thousands of miles away from them. l people are engaging more and more with the climatei crisis in particular, - and looking to restore whole ecosystems, and that's l really where our focus is. markers like this one in london zoo are designed to grab the attention of passers—by, and portals have popped up in cities including oslo, copenhagen and at the world expo in dubai, although you can play anywhere through the app. this project isn't going to fix climate change overnight, but it was certainly fun getting my digital fingers green. that looks less like a real tree... or whatever other colours i fancied.

that looks spooky. 0k, time for this week's tech round—up now, and first up, it's official — ads are coming to netflix. yep, co—ceo ted sarandos has announced the streaming giant will begin testing a new cheaper tariff option which you can use if you don't mind some commercials popping up while you watch your favourite shows. medical students at the university of cambridge are taking part in what the uni says is a world first — treating holographic patients. through the use of an augmented reality headset, the students are learning by practising on virtual people. it feels very much more that you're connected to the scenario. and when you feel the patient, you see their neck muscles straining, and the way they're breathing, the trained eye of a doctor will tell a lot from how a patient�*s chest rises and falls, and we spend a lot of time trying to get that exactly right. nasa has launched its first rocket from a commercial spaceport outside the united states.

it hopes the sub—orbital rocket launched from australia will enable astrophysics studies that can only take place in the southern hemisphere. and after taking me for a spin last year, paralysed racing driver sam schmidt has broken new ground by being the first person ever to complete the hill climb at the goodwood festival of speed using only head movements and breath to drive. he achieved the feat in his modified mclaren that uses infra—red cameras and a breath—measuring device. i'm at the barbican in london to meet tony fadell, the co—creator of one of apple's biggest icons, which has recently been decommissioned after 20 years. can we have a moment of silence, please, for the ipod? this is your baby. it is. how do you feel about it? oh, it's obviously sad to see an old friend go, but at the end of the day, you know, technology marches on. without the ipod,

the modern—day apple wouldn't exist, and the iphone, i don't think, would have ever existed if the ipod didn't. was there any consideration for the green credentials of these devices — the disposability, the renewability of these things — was that even on the table back then? no, it wasn't really highly considered by any means. of course, it wasn't just, go trash things, but at the same time, it's very different now. do you think we have reached a turning point now, where companies are more aware, and in fact, it might be good to market something that can last a few years? you know, the iphone i have in my pocket is not the latest one. you don't have to necessarily ship new hardware. in fact, it might be actually more profitable for the company to ship a lot more services on the same piece of hardware. what we should be seeing is more subscription—based devices, and you get a new version of the device when the company thinks you need it. maybe it's the right thing to do for the environment, maybe for the customer as well. what's the next big idea? i think when we look at our existential problems

on this planet, there are so many ideas that need to be brought to life. something like the hydrogen economy. we can use hydrogen to make all kinds of materials, and make them much more climate—friendly. and actually for business, they're actually better for business, you can make more money. agriculture, materials, transportation — we should be using all of the technology to revolutionise those, some of the biggest polluters on the planet. now all we have to do is convince big oil. but, for his part, fadell heads a fund that's made dozens of climate investments. although he's notjust focused on this world. virtual reality — discuss. you can make shoes, you can make furniture, homes, what have you. it is the first way to truly break the 2d barrier, to 3d. so, fadell is backing virtual collaboration, though the metaverse at large doesn't quite have him convinced.

some people are trying to trap us in these kinds of headsets. it's a place where you're going to go socialise, where we're going to dance, we're all going to turn into cartoon characters, we'll never even see each other�*s eyes. is that a problem we really need to solve? i don't think so. let's park zuckerberg's vision for a moment, then, and ask tony instead about apple's biggest visionary. steve moved the whole smartphone industry. yes, i'd like to order 4,000 lattes to go, please. no, just kidding! the great thing about steve was he never projected himself as a real expert of any one thing. so there was some humility there — it wasn'tjust about, i know everything and i'm right all the time? absolutely not — he had strong opinions, but sometimes they were weakly held, if we brought in data or other things to show him that there was a different way. and since stevejobs, the biggest personality in tech surely now has to be this guy. hope you like what you see. but what does fadell make of him?

without the personalities, without the passion, without the drive, you wouldn't see the ev revolution that we're having. you need these personalities that people can really resonate with. that was tony fadell, who is admittedly a bit of a character himself, and he's not the only one who believes that big tech can clean up. adrienne murray's been finding out more in denmark. each time we upload a selfie, chat online or stream a video, we're transmitting data to and from a server, and all those files we store virtually in the cloud, well, there's a physical backbone, keeping it all running smoothly — a datacentre. this hyperscale facility on the outskirts of odense in denmark is among a growing number found in the cooler nordic countries. and here, how our internet use is actually helping

to warm people's homes. this is one of our servers. and if you feel underneath it's quite... it's really hot. our datacentre is one of three in europe, providing services for all our applications, facebook, instagram, whatsapp, messenger, etc. it is pictures, videos, stories, all of that. all these servers are running mn, and keeping them ticking over requires huge amounts of energy. but they also produce a lot of heat. at many data centres, the heat given off is lost or wasted. here, the hot air is trapped behind the servers and then it's put to use. gosh, it really is much warmer in here, it's like stepping inside a sauna. what happens to the heat that's coming off these servers?

so the heat goes up to the roof where we have some cooling units. when it reaches the rooftop, the hot air flows through almost 200 heat exchangers. oh, gosh. that's really windy. we are getting cold water from a district heating system from the city, and then we give them warm water back. it is a heat exchange, so you take one warm element and then one cold element, and you actually exchange the heat and warmth. residual cool air is left over from this process and that's used to help cool all those hot servers. across the road is a pump station. all these different coloured pipes are carrying water. as you might have guessed, red is hot and blue is cold. so right here, we have the heat pumps where we elevate the heat. so when we receive it, it's only 27 degrees celsius. but we need it to elevate it

to 70 degrees to put it in this district heating grid. district heating is a community—wide heating system that's common in scandinavia. in odense, which is the third largest city in denmark, we have about 200,000 inhabitants. that's about 100,000 households. and this plant can actually provide heat for more than 10% of these customers. hello, welcome. hi, thank you. long—time resident hans erik is one of them. what do you get as part of the district heating? it's water, it's heating, it's everything with hot water. you don't have to have a boiler, it's coming out of the pipes. every household has a meter, and then you pay for what you use. what do you make of the fact that the surplus heat from the datacentre is now also providing heat to homes in the area? i mean, the heat is there. either you give it to the birds

or you make use of it in our households. other nordic countries like sweden have also embraced the idea of warming homes with recycled heat. and in finland, microsoft and energy firm fortum are now planning the world's biggest project of this kind. that was adrienne in denmark. but these companies aren't the only ones considering how our buildings could become more sustainable. this is recycled concrete. the idea is that that'll be the basis of kind of almost a whole ecosystem. my name is martyn dade—robertson, i'm professor of emerging technology at newcastle university. we're sitting in the ome, which is an experimental house where we're developing a new generation of building technologies. the way that we build isn't sustainable — it's polluting, it uses high amounts of energy, and that really needs

to be addressed if we're to live sustainably. just behind me is one of the most significant pieces of biotechnology that we have. it's a structure that is initially knitted, grown with a root network of fungus we call mycelium. this is black fabric, - and the white that you're seeing is all the mycelium. it is, in a sense, mould in here, or at least what some people think of as being mould. this is a case where we could replace, say, a cement with a biological process instead. this is quite nice, the way you can see the cellulose. it's not a stained glass window, it's a stained cellulose window. it looks like a kind of skin. in our different labs, we're growing different materials. but in relationship to digital technologies as well. we're developing a robot arm to control the way that materials are deposited in three dimensions. we're also developing our own machine that looks a little bit like a 3d printer.

the main kind of fermentation will be happening here. - the pumps will be located here. it allows us to program the material for different outcomes and different material properties. imagine the construction of a wall. you've got your bricks, which are cemented together, often you have insulation material, you have your plasterboard inside. we want to do that in one step. the wall might be able to respond to light by thickening, maybe giving greater insulation or reducing insulation, maybe allow a building to sweat in the way that skin does. that will mean that servicing our buildings are not as heavy, because we don't have to make use of heating and ventilation quite as much. we use all kinds of different computational models that are key to the research that we do. often, they're modelling the way in which our biological systems will respond to different environments. we're even thinking about the soil beneath our houses. the idea is that the bacteria can detect the load

on the soils and make crystals that will make the soil stronger. we're not using polluting concrete, and moving the land as a very— energy—intensive process. artificial intelligence might give us a way to discover these new biologies and processes that we can't, as human beings, on our own, work out. some of our technologies are quite near—future. i can see mycelium, for example, being part of our built environment actually very quickly. this feels really, really solid. some of the work in engineered living materials is decades and decades away. there are lots of technical challenges, but also the construction industry is very conservative, so persuading people that this is the future is going to take a lot of validation and effort. sustainability calls for transformational technologies that will change the way that we live.

we've had the digital revolution, but we see ourselves as heading up a biological revolution. that sense that we're at the frontier of a completely new science and technology is really exciting. some great ideas there, although some of it did look a little bit unusual, i'm not quite sure that it would fit in with my decor. whilst that's all we've got time for this week, i think i'll stick around for a wander. they know how to do it — slower pace of life. friday was the first day since 1june that nowhere in the uk reached 20 celsius,

and it is because of the brisk northerly wind which blew in quite a few showers, but the wind is gradually easing, high pressure is moving into give a largely dry weekend but with some cool days and some chilly nights. in fact, temperatures are tumbling away at in the clearing skies, but there are still showers peppering north—eastern scotland and eastern england, but they are diminishing in number. temperatures in the towns and cities will get to single figures, fours and fives in places, and out in the countryside lower still, but perhaps not quite as chilly as last night in northern ireland. more likely here to see some patchy fog, but elsewhere, if you are up early enough, you may see your first touch of frost on the grass. but, otherwise, despite that unusually chilly start, quite a surprise, i think, for many, there will be plenty of sunshine. fewer showers for eastern england, compared with friday. still one or two for scotland and for the north we have a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud which will push cloudier skies into northern ireland and further south through the day.

still bright and dry for many, just an outside chance of a shower. we are losing that really keen breeze in the east, so, temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coasts either. as we go through saturday night into sunday, it is worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. a chilly start, particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost, not as widespread sunday morning because we have got more cloud. and it should be a dry and fine day in london if you are heading to queue here. as i say, it will be a chilly start. now, we do have more cloud on a very weak weather front which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales, and the north midlands and perhaps towards the south and east. but bright and dry again for many with some sunny spells as well. and that is the setup for sunday. by monday, the high pressure is moving across the united kingdom, that weak weather front still close to the south and east but we can't rule out a showerfor london, but on balance it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach off the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards, really, but it does look as if for many on monday,

it will be dry and bright. the issue will be some fog patches in the morning, more so on sunday than on saturday. but they could be around over the weekend but it comes more of an issue. once it clears, they should be plenty of dry and bright weather.

welcome to bbc news. our top stories: king charles and his three siblings hold a vigil for their late mother, queen elizabeth, as she lies in state in westminster hall. thousands are queuing through the night to see the coffin. the wait is almost 22 hours. people have been told to wait until daytime. it's a cold night to be stood in a queue so long you can see it from space. i'm mark lobel with the latest from westminster. 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. i take up my new duties with immense gratitude for the privilege of having been able to serve as prince of wales. in other news, ukraine will exhume hundreds of bodies found in graves outside izyum, a city recently recaptured from russian forces. it's only now, after the russians have been pushed out, that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how many victims they left behind. and fury in iran as a woman dies after being arrested by morality police, accused of breaking rules on head coverings.

welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. the queen's four children, led by king charles, have held a vigil at westminster hall, standing in silent contemplation around their late mother's coffin while members of the public filed past quietly to pay their respects. these lucky people are nearing the front of the queue but with the front of the queue but with the wait time of 25 hours for those near the back, people have been advised not to join until the morning. the king and the queen consort, camilla, concluded their uk tour earlier in the day in wales, where the king addressed the senedd in both english and welsh. our coverage starts with this report from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. they are four people

with a unique bond — a king, a princess and two princes to whom she was first and foremost a mother, as well as their queen. charles, anne, edward and andrew entered westminster hall and approached the catafalque. all of them, including andrew, were in uniform. the king took his place at the head of the coffin, the duke of york at the foot, the princess royal on one of the flanks, the earl of wessex on the other. they stood with their heads bowed. watching, members of the extended royal family, though not princes william and harry. they, with the queen's

other grandchildren, will mount a vigil tomorrow evening. the vigil of the sons and daughter lasted for a little less than 15 minutes, a personal tribute on a very public stage. and all the while, the long lines of spectators continued to file past. for them, there had been an added reward. i think the strength that it took the king and his siblings standing there in front of so many members of the public was really overwhelming and breathtaking, really. yeah, so strong. those children are so strong. on a busy day for the new king, an important speech about diversity and faith. he told faith leaders at buckingham palace that he would be sovereign of all communities. society can only thrive through a clear collective commitment to those vital principles of freedom of conscience, generosity

of spirit and care for others, which are, to me, the essence of our nation. i am determined as king to preserve and promote those principles across all communities and for all beliefs, with all my heart. and while the new king sets the tone for his reign, those who served the queen for many years are reflecting on the public reaction to her death. extraordinarily humbling, i think, is the first word that comes to mind. it's been so beautifully organised — this ability for thousands of people to pay this tribute. and i do think that that is an essential part of this ten—day mourning period — this contact between us,

the people, and our departed queen. on monday the state funeral will take place, when the queen's coffin will be borne to westminster abbey on a gun carriage. i think it'll be hugely important. it will be the culmination of this long period. it will be, i believe, intensely moving and deeply solemn, but a moment, i think — a real moment of national catharsis. it isn'tjust britain which is marking the queen's passing. the prince and princess of wales have been meeting troops from different commonwealth countries who will be taking part in the state funeral. a solemn day which will mark the end of a long reign. nicholas witchell, bbc news. and we'll bring you more details on the funeral plans including some of the world

leaders who'll be attending later in the programme. first, though, let's go to westminster hall, where just a few hours ago king charles and the queen's other children held that vigil, and of course where that huge queue ends. our reporter mark lobel is there. that queue behind you is not getting any shorter anytime soon. ., , �* �*, getting any shorter anytime soon. ., ,�* . soon. no, it isn't. it's been a really busy — soon. no, it isn't. it's been a really busy day, _ soon. no, it isn't. it's been a really busy day, hasn't - soon. no, it isn't. it's been a really busy day, hasn't it, - really busy day, hasn't it, nancy? we've heard about king charles�*s vigil, but there was another surprise entry into westminster hall today, that of david beckham. he made quite a stir this time yesterday when he started queueing. he did his 12 hours and he made a lot of friends in the queue, as many people have been doing, and then was closely watched as he walked through westminster hall, as many people are hoping to do, as you say. tens of thousands of queueing up. but the end of the queue is nigh, because, as you said earlier,

25 hours' wait at the moment. the government in fact said that people shouldn't be turning up anymore and they should check in the morning. but of course, by then you'll be looking at about 25 hours until the queue is going to close, so there's probably, one would guess, one more chance to join the queue. i can tell you somebody who is very glad that they have joined it and has seen the queen already, and thatis seen the queen already, and that is mohamed. you can with your infectious enthusiasm, mohamed. first of all, can you tell us why you decided to come and see the queen lying in state? . ,., . . ., state? the reason i have come here to witness _ state? the reason i have come here to witness history. - state? the reason i have come here to witness history. this i hereto witness history. this moment_ here to witness history. this moment will never happen ever again — moment will never happen ever agairt i— moment will never happen ever again. i was watching at i was watching _ again. i was watching at i was watching on tv and i said i have — watching on tv and i said i have to _ watching on tv and i said i have to come here and watch it live, _ have to come here and watch it live, i_ have to come here and watch it live, i have _ have to come here and watch it live, i have to come here and embrace _ live, i have to come here and embrace the moment, feel the atmosphere and realise what a wonderful woman who we are never— wonderful woman who we are never going to see ever again, he spread _ never going to see ever again, he spread her love across the world, — he spread her love across the world, who so many people have come _ world, who so many people have come to — world, who so many people have come to see. for me, as a kid growing — come to see. for me, as a kid growing up _ come to see. for me, as a kid growing up and watching it on

that long wait certainly has not dampened his enthusiasm. earlier on friday, king charles made his first official visit to wales, bringing to an end his tour of the four uk home nations since becoming monarch. he attended a sevice of prayer and reflection for the late queen and visited the welsh parliament, the senedd, before meeting well—wishers alongside the queen consort. alan little reports. 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. 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. speaks welsh. the first minister, mark drakeford, read from the first book of kings, which includes the verse, "and now, 0 my lord, you have made your servant king." welsh was confirmed as an official 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 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. it must surely be counted the greatest privilege to belong to a land that could inspire such devotion. i am resolved to honour 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 had 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. on monday he will lay his mother to rest and lead the country in mourning a monarch who had come to embody much of the character of britain itself — its shared

history, its shared identity. two other news now. 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 had 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 with ukraine having made significant territorial gains since the start of the month — although heavy fighting is continuing in the areas shown in circles here. orla guerin, has sent this report from izyum, and it contains some distressing 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 already claiming that russia is responsible for almost all of the dead. "according to our data, almost everyone died "because of russian soldiers," says 0leksandr. "some were killed, some were tortured, "some were hit ——"some were hit in russian air and artillery strikes." he says the very first grave they opened contained the body of a civilian with a rope around his neck. this knife was recovered from the remains of a soldier. a senior official told us more than 20 troops were found in a single grave with signs of torture. some had their hands bound.

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. 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 gregoriy tells me, then, 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." emergency service workers drained by their labours. we can't be sure of what killed all those buried here, but they expect to be digging at more sites like this, in areas recently taken back from the russians. orla guerin, bbc news. the white house says it's deeply concerned by the death of a young iranian woman after being arrested by iran's morality police. mahsa amini, who was 22, died after being detained in tehran for allegedly violating the islamic republic's strict dress code for women. the morality police say ms amini suffered a heart attack and deny reports

that she was beaten. the president, ebrahim raisi, has ordered an investigation into the case, which has caused public outrage in iran. dr fatemeh haghighatjoo is director of the nonviolent initiative for democracy, and a former iran mp. thank and a former iran mp. you for speaking to us. this thank you for speaking to us. this has caused serious outrage in iran, people have been tweeting the hashtag #murderpatrol in reference to the police there. what is your reaction, you yourself have been arrested before, you have been arrested before, you have been an outspoken critic of many things that have happened in iran, tell us what your reaction is? i in iran, tell us what your reaction is?— in iran, tell us what your reaction is? . . , . reaction is? i am so angry and outraged _ reaction is? i am so angry and outraged by — reaction is? i am so angry and outraged by the _ reaction is? i am so angry and outraged by the state - reaction is? i am so angry and outraged by the state police, l outraged by the state police, by the law authority, it is

like everyone else, we are all in shock that this happened. it is so sad, young girls who is all the way from her own city to the capital city, and this happens. it is so shocking, and all is because of the state systematic violence that is rooted in iran's laws, islamic penal code and also violent enforcement of the law. the tehran police _ enforcement of the law. the tehran police have - enforcement of the law. the tehran police have denied the accusations made against them and they said that she was taken to a police station for explanation and instruction, and then suffered a heart problem. why is this an explanation that people are unwilling to accept? because we have seen _ unwilling to accept? because we have seen so — unwilling to accept? because we have seen so many _ unwilling to accept? because we

brother mentioned that police dispensed teargas and he couldn't follow his sister and they didn't allow him to enter they didn't allow him to enter the police station. so unfortunately because of this systematic violence that daily we see, and gets wider on social media, we cannot trust what the police says.- social media, we cannot trust what the police says. sadly you are pointing — what the police says. sadly you are pointing out _ what the police says. sadly you are pointing out this _ what the police says. sadly you are pointing out this is - what the police says. sadly you are pointing out this is not - what the police says. sadly you are pointing out this is not an l are pointing out this is not an isolated incident, we have to leave it there but thank you for your time. from streets to grand buildings and underground railway lines there are many places around there are many places around the world that are already named after queen elizabeth the second. following her death communities have found other eye—catching ways to pay tribute as our arts correspondent reports. it isa

but, otherwise, despite that unusually chilly start, quite a surprise, i think, for many, there will be plenty of sunshine. fewer showers for eastern england, compared with friday. still one or two for scotland and for the north we have a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud which will push cloudier skies into northern ireland and further south through the day. still bright and dry for many, just an outside chance of a shower. we are losing that really keen breeze in the east, so, temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coasts either. as we go through saturday night into sunday, it is worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. a chilly start, particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost, not as widespread sunday morning because we have got more cloud. and it should be a dry and fine day in london if you are heading to queue here. as i say, it will be a chilly start, it will be a chilly evening. now, we do have more cloud on a very weak weather front which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales, and the north midlands and perhaps towards the south and east.

but bright and dry again for many with some sunny spells as well. and that is the setup for sunday. by monday, the high pressure is moving across the united kingdom, that weak weather front still close to the south and east but we can't rule out a showerfor london, but on balance it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach off the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards, really, but it does look as if for many on monday, it will be dry and bright. the issue will be some fog patches in the morning, more so on sunday than on saturday. but they could be around over the weekend but it comes more of an issue. once it clears, they should be plenty of dry and bright weather.

now on bbc news, as preparations build for the queen's state funeral on monday, we look at the main events of the past 2a hours. the atmosphere here at westminster calm, solemn and perhaps in the air, a sense of bitter sweetness — people mourning the monarch's death while at the same time reflecting on her long life and her 70—year reign. this great room is full of people but it is almost silent here — just the odd

interruption, the sound of military boots richoeting off the stone floor, the duty officer typing commands with his stick and the occasional cry of a child. it's been like that since five o'clock on wednesday afternoon, when black rod, the parliamentary officer signified the doors could be opened. 50 hours or so have elapsed since that moment. people at the head of what has felt at times like an infinite line filing in to pay their private respects to the queen. some people walk by the catafalque lost in private thoughts, some bow or curtsey, hold their hands in prayer or make a sign of the cross, others turn

on their heels and raise their hand in an informal salute as they say their farewells. 01’ —— some of the visitors here knew the queen personally or worked for her, but most of us in this hall only knew her from a distance as the monarch, photographed in a newspaper, seen on television or perhaps encountered for a few precious seconds during a walkabout after the opening of a theatre or a hospital or another public building. for 15 minutes this evening, the queen's subjects will be joined by her children — the king, the princess royal, the duke of york and the earl of wessex and forfar — the four siblings mourning the death of their mother. the union flag lowered at victoria tower, changed for the royal standard. the royal party will mount visual alongside the royal bodyguard. and appropriately on this day when so much of the

focus has been on wales, four officers from the welsh guard. the first royal vigil here was in 1936, the final night at the vigil for george v when the new king, edward viii, decided to stand watch around the catafalque with his brothers as a tribute to their late father. the king was joined by the dukes of gloucester and kent and the then duke of york who, later that same year, became george vi. he was to lie in state here when he died in 1952 and now, 70 years later, his daughter rests in westminster hall. this is the second time that her majesty's children had stood vigil. they did so on monday evening while the coffin lay in st giles' cathedral in edinburgh for 2h hours as an estimated 33,000 people filed through to

pay their respects. much has been said this week about a moment of quiet reflection for us, the population, but also for the queen's children, reflecting their own grief. as the queen said to the victims's families of the 9/11 attack in new york, "nothing that can be said can begin to take away the pain and anguish of these were moments. "grief is the price we pay for love."

cheering and applause. the candle burns in front of the royal standard. these candles burn for 2h hours. they are replaced each evening when the hall is briefly shut in the small hours. behind the candle, the imperial state crown and the orb and sceptre. many of these people filing in will have no idea that they're about to share their moment of vigil, their moment of paying respect with the queen's children.

the welsh guards doing their duty. an officer on each corner of the coffin there, uniform distinguished with their buttons arranged into groups of five. a leaf on their shoulder and collar badges and you can see the white plume on the shoulder of the left of their bearskins. the westminster cross stands at the head of the coffin.

cheering. the westminster cross stands at the head of the coffin. and a bouquet of flowers — a wreath of white roses and dahlias, studded with pine from the balmoral estate where the queen died at last thursday. and from windsor, lavender, pittosporum and rosemary — the symbol of remembrance. the yeomen of the guard, one of the bodyguards doing their duty in this vigil.

and all of this under the great hammerbeam roof of westminster hall, this great open space without a single pillar to obstruct the view. as the public enter the south of the hall, look down the steps, they're immediately struck by the vision of her majesty's coffin resting on its catafalque and bier of red and purple. the welsh guards established at the height of the first world war. that's when they were raised. the duty officer using his stick to instruct the men.

and here come the queen's children — the king, the princess royal, the earl of wessex and forfar, at the rear of the party, the duke of york. they walk forward to the catafalque. they will walk forward. to the catafalque.

they will take place, one on each side. the queen's children paying respect as they mark vigil to their mother here in westminster hall. duty officer bangs stick three times.

and so, with three taps from the duty officer's stick, this extraordinarily visible act of private mourning comes to an end, the queen's children standing vigil in front of their mother's coffin here in westminster hall. a formal duty to the nation, a loving duty to their mother. the king, the princess royal, the duke of york, and the earl of wessex,

their faces stoic as they stand there. members of the public filing past. these people who have come from near and far to make this pilgrimage to express their sorrow at the death of the queen. tonight's vigil reflects the relationship between the monarchy and the state, four members of a family mourning their personal loss, surrounded by hundreds paying tribute to a loved and respected figurehead, a meeting of private and public grief. our continuous coverage of the lying in state continues on the bbc red button, at the bbc website, on the bbc parliament channel and on the iplayer. it will be there until monday morning when her majesty the queen leaves westminster hall for a finaljourney to westminster abbey

and on to windsor castle. meanwhile, those at the head of this vast, slow—moving, snaking line of people continue to descend the steps into westminster hall. some have carefully planned for their time in the queue, others havejoined, it seems, on an impulse. i have seen sturdy outdoor gear alongside summer shorts, schoolchildren in blazers, guides and scouts, men and women wearing the black of mourning, suits, work wear, kente cloths, pale sawar kameezes, jeans, clerical collars. couples supporting each other as they passed the coffin, teenagers standing in awe,

family groups standing ——spanning several generations, a mother holding a toddler almost too big for her arms. tens, hundreds of thousands of people all united in their desire to pay theirfinal respects to her majesty the queen. friday was the first day since 1june that nowhere in the uk reached 20 celsius, and it is because of the brisk northerly wind which blew in quite a few showers, but the wind is gradually easing, high pressure is moving in to give a largely dry weekend but with some cool days and some chilly nights. in fact, temperatures are tumbling away under the clearing skies, there are still showers peppering north—eastern scotland and eastern england, but they are diminishing in number. temperatures in the towns

and cities will get to single figures, fours and fives in places, and out in the countryside lower still, but perhaps not quite as chilly as last night in northern ireland. more likely here to see some patchy fog, but elsewhere, if you are up early enough, you may see your first touch of frost on the grass. but, otherwise, despite that unusually chilly start, quite a surprise, i think, for many, there will be plenty of sunshine. fewer showers for eastern england, compared with friday. still one or two for scotland and for the north we have got a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud which will push cloudier skies into northern ireland and further south through the day. still bright and dry for many, just an outside chance of a shower. we are losing that really keen breeze in the east, so, temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coasts either. as we go through saturday night into sunday, it is worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. a chilly start, particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost, not as widespread sunday morning because we

have got more cloud. and it should be a dry and fine day in london if you are heading to queue here. as i say, it will be a chilly start, it will be a chilly evening. now, we do have more cloud on a very weak weather front which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales, and the north midlands and perhaps towards the south and east. but bright and dry again for many with some sunny spells as well. and that is the setup for sunday. by monday, the high pressure is moving across the united kingdom, that weak weather front still close to the south and east but we can't rule out a showerfor london, but on balance it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach off the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards, really, but it does look as if for many on monday, it will be dry and bright. the issue will be some fog patches in the morning, more so on sunday than on saturday. but they could be around over the weekend but it comes more of an issue. once it clears, they should be plenty of dry and bright weather.

welcome to bbc news. our top stories: duty officer bangs stick three times. king charles and his three siblings hold a vigil for their late mother queen elizabeth as she lies in state in westminster hall. thousands are queuing through the night to see the coffin. the wait�*s almost 25 hours. people have been told not to join until daytime. cheering and applause. 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. i take up my new duties with immense gratitude for the privilege of having been able to serve as prince of

wales. in other news, ukraine will exhume hundreds of bodies found in graves outside izyum — a city recently recaptured from russian forces. it's only now after the russians have been pushed out that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how many victims they left behind. hello and welcome. the queen's four children, led by king charles, have held a vigil at westminster hall, standing in silent contemplation around their late mother's coffin while members of the public filed past quietly to pay their respects. these lucky people are nearing the front of the queue but, with a wait time of 25 hours

for those near the back, people have been advised not tojoin until the morning. earlier, the king and the queen consort concluded their uk tour in wales, where the king addressed the senedd in both english and welsh. our coverage starts with this report from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. duty officer bangs stick three times. they are four people with a unique bond — a king, a princess and two princes — to whom she was first and foremost a mother, as well as their queen. charles, anne, edward and andrew entered westminster hall and approached the catafalque. all of them, including andrew, were in uniform. the king took his place at the head of the coffin,

the duke of york at the foot, the princess royal on one of the flanks, the earl of wessex on the other. they stood with their heads bowed. watching, members of the extended royal family — though not princes william and harry. they, with the queen's other grandchildren, will mount a vigil tomorrow evening. the vigil of the sons and daughter lasted for a little less than 15 minutes — a personal tribute on a very public stage — and all the while, the long lines of spectators continued to file past. for them, there had been an added reward. i think the strength that it took the king and his siblings, standing there in front of so many members of the public, was really overwhelming and breathtaking, really.

yeah, so strong. those children are so strong. on a busy day for the new king, an important speech about diversity and faith. he told faith leaders at buckingham palace that he would be sovereign of all communities. society can only thrive through a clear collective commitment to those vital principles of freedom of conscience, generosity of spirit and care for others, which are, to me, the essence of our nation. —— of our nationhood. i am determined as king to preserve and promote those principles across all communities and for all beliefs with all my heart. and while the new king sets the tone for his reign, those who served the queen for many years are reflecting on the public reaction to her death.

extraordinarily humbling, i think, is the first word that comes to mind. it's been so beautifully organised, this ability for thousands of people to pay this tribute, and i do think that that is an essential part of this ten—day mourning period — this contact between us, the people, and our departed queen. on monday, the state funeral will take place, when the queen's coffin will be borne to westminster abbey on a gun carriage. i think it'll be hugely important. it will be the culmination of this long period. it will be, i believe, intensely moving and deeply solemn, but a moment, i think —

a real moment of national catharsis. it isn'tjust britain which is marking the queen's passing — the prince and princess of wales have been meeting troops from different commonwealth countries who will be taking part in the state funeral. a solemn day which will mark the end of a long reign. nicholas witchell, bbc news. let's show you some live pictures now as the queen continues to lie in state. these are cues waiting to get into westminster hall, as you can see there —— queues. they have not abated and people are continuing to line up, despite being warned of cold temperatures and a possible 25 hour wait and this is where they are trying to get into, westminster hall, where the queen lies in state. they have just a few brief moments to

pause, to pay their respects. some are bowing, some make a sign of the cross and some simply curtsy but that is the moment they are all waiting to have, to pay their respects to the queen. my colleague mark lobel has been spending the night at westminster hall. he doesjoin us now. he is where mourners are braving the chilly weather and waiting times of at least 25 hours to pay their last respects to the queen. he's been talking to people after they've spent a few brief moments near the queen's coffin. lam standing i am standing here, people are filing outside of westminster hall and look i bumped into. victoria fritz. what are you doing here?— doing here? after we got off-air in _ doing here? after we got off-air in the _ doing here? after we got off-air in the morning. i doing here? after we got. off-air in the morning. we doing here? after we got - off-air in the morning. we were chattin: off-air in the morning. we were chatting about _ off-air in the morning. we were chatting about 18 _ off-air in the morning. we were chatting about 18 hours - off-air in the morning. we were chatting about 18 hours ago. - chatting about 18 hours ago. and i thought the queue won't be that— and i thought the queue won't be that long so if ijoin it now. _ be that long so if ijoin it now. i— be that long so if ijoin it now, i probably will be done by

welsh at his investiture as prince of wales in 1969. many of the people he met today have known him for years. cheering and applause. 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. speaks welsh. the first minister mark drakeford read from the first book of kings, which includes

the verse, "and now, "o my lord, you have made your servant king". choir sings. welsh was confirmed as an official 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. cheering and applause. 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 the union is arrogance around its continuation. i suspect the monarchy has got 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. it must surely be counted the greatest privilege to belong to a land that could inspire such devotion. i am resolved to honour that selfless example in the spirit of the words by which i have always tried to live my own life — ich dien, 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 had 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. on monday, he will lay his mother to rest and lead the country in mourning a monarch who had come to embody much of the character of britain itself — its shared history, its shared identity. alan little, bbc news, cardiff. we turned to some news now. ukraine's president zelensky has accused russia of committing war crimes in territory recently retaken 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 had 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 with ukraine having made significant territorial gains since the start of the month, although heavy fighting is continuing in the areas shown in circles here. 0rla guerin has sent this report from izyum, and it contains some distressing 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 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 airand

artillery strikes." he says the very first grave they opened contained the body of a civilian with a rope around his neck. this knife recovered from the remains of a soldier. more than 22 found in a grave, with signs of torture. some had their hands bound. 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. 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." workers from the emergency services were drained by their labours. but they are expected to be digging out more sites like this in other areas recently taken back from the russians.

0rla guerin, bbc news, izyum. let's now speak to samir puri, a former ceasefire monitor in ukraine, and author of a new book russia's road to war with ukraine. thank you very much forjoining us. wejust watched thank you very much forjoining us. we just watched a report from one of the areas ukraine has taken back from russia. with president putin, we did hear prime minister duran duran moudi of india seeming to wag his finger at him, saying that i know that today is not an era of war. what do you make of these comments, the fact that this war does not seem to be going according to plan for russia, and the fact that india and china, his closest allies, seemed if taking the view that this isn't going well?— this isn't going well? thanks for having — this isn't going well? thanks for having me. _ this isn't going well? thanks for having me. the - this isn't going well? thanks i for having me. the geopolitics of russia's invasion of ukraine

is an important aspect of what's happening, especially the relation to asia, because both china and india have continued to trade with russia to compensate from losses market brings the selected allergy to europe. narendra modi's comments, this is not an air of war, are quite strong. we should keep in mind that duran duran moudi has been fairly consistent since the start of the invasion calling for an immediate ceasefire and enter violence. m80 his comments in february and are called to putin. the difference between saying this and trying to make it happen is a big one and something india hasn't done is use it's leveraged by, for example, reducing reliance on russian arms and not by russian energy. there is a disconnect between modi's words and india's deeds and relations with russia. abs, india's deeds and relations with russia.— with russia. a difference between _ with russia. a difference between saying - with russia. a difference

between saying and - with russia. a difference i between saying and doing, with russia. a difference - between saying and doing, as you point out, but with the scenes we saw in izyum, ukrainians will start to carry out investigations about what russians did there. what can we expect from international community by way of response to whatever is found?— whatever is found? these are horrifying _ whatever is found? these are horrifying scenes, _ whatever is found? these are horrifying scenes, as - whatever is found? these are horrifying scenes, as your - horrifying scenes, as your report evicted. it brings to mind bucha massacre. the difference between ridge and these graves in acro through, about a hundred kilometres also away from kharkiv, ukraine's second city, the fact that russians were pushed out of kharkiv means there was enormous fighting even before ukrainian counteroffensive in this area to recapture the territory. there is a report that explained the reasons can be roughly gathered as to how these people died, they are very bearing. a somewhat executed, some were killed and shellfire, but we are likely to see is a return visit from the international criminal court

who said a large delegation to butcher and we will see international attention to forensics perhaps arriving may be in coming days and weeks into the new mass grave that's been found. irate into the new mass grave that's been found-— been found. we will have to leave it there _ been found. we will have to leave it there but _ been found. we will have to leave it there but we - been found. we will have to leave it there but we thankl been found. we will have to i leave it there but we thank you very much for your time, samir puri, great to have you. let's return to our main story. as we've been hearing tens of thousands of people are waiting for their turn to pay their respects to queen elizabeth ii at westminster hall where she is lying in state. these are live pictures from westminster. some estimates suggest as many as 750,000 people will brave the elements and fatigue to pay thier respects. people at the back of the queue are now being told it will take them at least 25 hours to reach the front. so, a very long wait. let's speak to hannah brown from london who has been queuing since 7:30 last night. is that right? it feels like a long time ago now.- is that right? it feels like a long time ago now. talk us throu~h long time ago now. talk us through the _ long time ago now. talk us

you for staying with us on bbc news. those other cues that continue at westminster. thank you forjoining us. friday was the first day since 1june that nowhere in the uk reached 20 celsius, and it is because of the brisk northerly wind which blew in quite a few showers, but the wind is gradually easing, high pressure is moving in to give a largely dry weekend but with some cool days and some chilly nights. in fact, temperatures are tumbling away under the clearing skies, there are still showers peppering north—eastern scotland and eastern england, but they are diminishing in number. temperatures in the towns and cities will get to single figures, fours and fives in places, and out in the countryside lower still, but perhaps not quite as chilly as last night in northern ireland. more likely here to see some patchy fog, but elsewhere, if you are up early enough, you may see your first touch of frost on the grass. but, otherwise, despite that

unusually chilly start, quite a surprise, i think, for many, there will be plenty of sunshine. fewer showers for eastern england, compared with friday. still one or two for scotland and for the north we have got a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud which will push cloudier skies into northern ireland and further south through the day. still bright and dry for many, just an outside chance of a shower. we are losing that really keen breeze in the east, so, temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coasts either. as we go through saturday night into sunday, it is worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. a chilly start, particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost, not as widespread sunday morning because we have got more cloud. and it should be a dry and fine day in london if you are heading to queue here. as i say, it will be a chilly start, it will be a chilly evening. now, we do have more cloud on a very weak weather front which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales, and the north midlands and perhaps towards

the south and east. but bright and dry again for many with some sunny spells as well. and that is the setup for sunday. by monday, the high pressure is moving across the united kingdom, that weak weather front still close to the south and east but we can't rule out a showerfor london, but on balance it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach off the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards, really, but it does look as if for many on monday, it will be dry and bright. the issue will be some fog patches in the morning, more so on sunday than on saturday. but they could be around over the weekend but it comes more of an issue. once it clears, they should be plenty of dry and bright weather.

now on bbc news, hardtalk. stephen sackur speaks to maria pevchikh of the anti—corruption foundation, founded byjailed russian opposition figure alexei navalny. the interview was recorded on september 7, just hours before mr navalny said he had been banned from communicating confidentially with his lawyers from prison. welcome to hardtalk, i'm stephen sackur. since vladimir putin launched his all—out invasion of ukraine, his putter to squeeze on russian civil

society. criticism of the war risks years in prison, independent media voices have been silenced and new punishments have been piled on putin's most prominent political opponent alexei navalny. my guest is maria pevchikh, investigations chest for chief for the value's anti—corruption foundation anti—corru ption foundation which is anti—corruption foundation which is now outlawed in russia. where does russia's anti putin movement go from here? maria pevchikh, welcome to hardtalk. maria pevchikh, welcome to hardtalk— maria pevchikh, welcome to hardtalk.- right - maria pevchikh, welcome to| hardtalk.- right now, maria pevchikh, welcome to i hardtalk.- right now, it hardtalk. hello. right now, it seems vladimir _

symbolises what happens if you cross red lines than your colleague, alexei navalny. you've worked with him for a decade or more in the anti—corruption foundation in russia. he right now is languishing in a top security prison in solitary confinement. just begin by telling me what you can of his current condition. ~ , ,., , condition. absolutely. so, toda , condition. absolutely. so, today. he _ condition. absolutely. so, today, he was _ condition. absolutely. so, today, he was released i condition. absolutely. so, i today, he was released from the solitary confinement. it's called a standard housing unit, essentially it is a punishment cell was not you are there on your own, it is tiny, two metres by three metres, and you go there if you have done something wrong so he was released this morning and then within five minutes he was released before resentenced to add additional 15 days there is add additional 15 days there is a he was only up for a couple of minutes and in the following two weeks he will be there again in the little cell, where all you do for the whole day is just sit on a stool. you are

allowed to read only one book per term, you are allowed to use paper and a pen for one hour a day and that's it. you just sit and stare at the wall. you are not even allowed to lay down, to use the bed, because the bed has been chained up to the bed has been chained up to the wall at 6pm and it is only been chained down at the end of the day. it’s been chained down at the end of theda. �*, ., the day. it's extraordinary to imaaine the day. it's extraordinary to imagine living _ the day. it's extraordinary to imagine living that _ the day. it's extraordinary to imagine living that life i the day. it's extraordinary to imagine living that life in - imagine living that life in that cell. does he get any exercise, is he allowed out of any point during the day? he is allowed to _ any point during the day? he is allowed to walk _ any point during the day? he is allowed to walk and _ any point during the day? he is allowed to walk and walk. - any point during the day? he is allowed to walk and walk. in i allowed to walk and walk. in his cell, next to a cell where he sat, but that one doesn't have a ceiling. so you are still among four walls, you still among four walls, you still don't really get to see anything, apart from this little tiny patch of sky above you, and that's the walk, but the exercise, so that's how it works. ., ., , , works. how does he get messages out? because _ works. how does he get messages out? because i— works. how does he get messages out? because i follow— works. how does he get messages out? because i follow him - works. how does he get messages

on hundreds, no, thousands of oligarchs, the richest russians who surround and he would say aid and abet putin and his associates in the kremlin. is associates in the kremlin. is he associates in the kremlin. is he angry? i think he is. annoyed, angry, i'm not sure what the right word is. and i share these emotions. because we've been talking about sanctions, about sanctioning oligarchs and those people close to putin, two putin's regime for years. and the level of sanctions that we see today is pretty good. these are decent sanctions, the current packages. but let's be honest, they should have been imposed so long before. but they should have been imposed so long before.— so long before. but this list of 6000 — so long before. but this list of 6000 that _ so long before. but this list of 6000 that the _ of 6000 that the anti—corruption foundation has anti—corru ption foundation has come anti—corruption foundation has come up with, and the reloaded term oligarchs bribe takers and warmongers, you say, these

around and it's a matter of principle for me personally just to show them, look, your plan didn't work. you've thrown him into prison. we are making more investigations about you. you are torturing him in prison and we are getting vladimir putin's got arrested in italy and that's the way we like to operate. and that's the way we like to o erate. �* ., , and that's the way we like to o erate. �* .,, ., and that's the way we like to o erate. �* ., . ,, operate. but it was after you made a big _ operate. but it was after you made a big high-profile - made a big high—profile pronouncement about this yacht which is holding you to —— italy and after your revelations, the yacht was impounded by the italians. yes. we then saw — impounded by the italians. yes. we then saw the _ impounded by the italians. yes we then saw the conditions worsened for navalny so i come back to the very personal point, do you not have any difficulty with that? i point, do you not have any difficulty with that? i have... i mi . ht difficulty with that? i have... i might have _ difficulty with that? i have... i might have difficulty - difficulty with that? i have... i might have difficulty with l i might have difficulty with that but i have put this difficulty on a faraway shelf and i try not to think about it because i have a very clear instruction from alexei navalny himself what to do, how to work. he wants us to continue working and the worst thing

that we can do is kind of change and wobble and do something differently. we have to be persistent. it's a long fight and no—one is going to give it up halfway through. i give it up halfway through. i guess i'm really struck by how much risk you are prepared to take. if we go back a little bit in the navalny story and your involvement with it, course was poisoned inside russia, miraculously he survived and recuperated in germany and he went back to russia but it became clear during your investigations that you had a trial which led you, it seems, to the people who perpetrated the poisoning and you agreed to work with documentary makers. yes. you and others _ documentary makers. yes. you and others to — documentary makers. yes. you and others to try to _ documentary makers. yes. you and others to try to tell - documentary makers. yes you and others to try to tell the story. why did you believe it was important to go so very public, even to the point of view and navalny making a call to the agent who appears to have placed the poison

underpants in navalny�*s room which other novichok on them, why did you decide it was so public to go but have also important to go public with that when you must have known that when you must have known that would simply make you a personal target for russian intelligence? well, because there are — intelligence? well, because there are things _ intelligence? well, because there are things that - there are things that are bigger than me. there are things that are biggerthan me. in there are things that are bigger than me. in this life. and this story, the story about this poisoning, the story about the fact that vladimir putin uses chemical weapons, just think about it for a second, chemical weapons that are forbidden, they shouldn't exist, that he uses them against his opponents, is, like, personal enemies. that story is so embarrassing for putin. this is something that will stay with putin for ever. this is something that hopefully one day, he will be prosecuted for and i would love to be part of that process because, well, i've been witness to that. i think that this is a very scary and

dangerous crime that he is committing with his chemical weapons poisonings and this whole system that he runs of this, you know, operations that needs to be stopped and we made this big film that is available on bbc iplayer... on bbc iplayer. .. crosstalk. here we sit — on bbc iplayer. .. crosstalk. here we sit in _ on bbc iplayer. .. crosstalk. here we sit in london - on bbc iplayer. .. crosstalk. here we sit in london and - on bbc iplayer. .. crosstalk. here we sit in london and youj here we sit in london and you clearly are a person who lives in exile but you are very well aware of the names of litvinenko, of skripal, you know the reach of russian secret services is long. you have a target on your back. perhaps. i have a target on your back. perhaps-— have a target on your back. perhaps. have a target on your back. perha s. ., �* ~' , perhaps. i don't think there is any doubt _ perhaps. i don't think there is any doubt about _ perhaps. i don't think there is any doubt about that, - perhaps. i don't think there is any doubt about that, is - perhaps. i don't think there is i any doubt about that, is there? how do you, those close to you, live with that? it’s how do you, those close to you, live with that?— live with that? it's not that difficult to _ live with that? it's not that difficult to live _ live with that? it's not that difficult to live with. - difficult to live with. sometimes, you just, there are situations in your life when you're scared, objectively dangerous situations, but in

those situations, you can make a choice. do not be scared. it's a very deliberate, very rational and coldhearted choice. in a dangerous situation, do not be scared. personal issues are one thing, there's also the more collective issue. recently, guardian newspaper reported on a former navalny staffer, somebody who presumably worked alongside you a young man cycle of who says he first volunteered for nivola in 2017 and was then approached by the fsb and was paid to be an informer inside your organisation, do you fear that the reach of russia's secret services does actually go inside the anti—corruption foundation —— sokolov. brute foundation -- sokolov. we assume — foundation -- sokolov. we assume it _ foundation -- sokolov. we assume it does _ foundation —— sokolov. - assume it does and we act in a way that anything we say inside the office or in any work

are not being sponsored by western governments and we have never been, and that line of argument, that you are referring to, it is just you are propaganda. if we ever were caught dealing with foreign governments or anything like that in a dodgy way, that would be all over russian tv... where do ou be all over russian tv... where do you get _ be all over russian tv... where do you get your _ be all over russian tv... where do you get your money - be all over russian tv... where do you get your money from? l be all over russian tv... where i do you get your money from? we are do you get your money from? - are entirely grout funded. do you get your money from? we are entirely grout funded. but - are entirely grout funded. but where from? _ are entirely grout funded. but where from? inside _ are entirely grout funded. but where from? inside russia? l are entirely grout funded. but - where from? inside russia? from inside russia. _ where from? inside russia? from inside russia, we _ where from? inside russia? from inside russia, we have _ where from? inside russia? from inside russia, we have almost - inside russia, we have almost stopped receiving any donation apart from actually crypto currency because it is too dangerous. we are an extremist organisation, the same list as al-qaeda, isis, etc, so giving us money directly right now is not a good idea. but we have had time to reroute our fundraising a little bit to the russian people who live abroad, to russian people who have

foreign bank accounts because that solves the problem, that is not reachable for the russian authorities, and also use some crowdfunding platforms but also make you untraceable in terms of where the payment comes from. in terms of where the payment comes from-— in terms of where the payment comes from. ., ., , , ., comes from. you are russian. do ou comes from. you are russian. do you worry — comes from. you are russian. do you worry that — comes from. you are russian. do you worry that in _ comes from. you are russian. do you worry that in the _ comes from. you are russian. do you worry that in the current - you worry that in the current climate with everything that is going on with ukraine war, there is a danger that some in there is a danger that some in the united states and europe and the west are becoming anti— russian rather than anti—putin? yes. it is a big problem, and every time i see it, ifeel very upset and very concerned because i don't think that there is a concept of collective responsibility. 1 collective responsibility. i had a very interesting interview with the editor—in—chief of the kyiv independent recently, and she said russians are not a normal nation who got lost and turned

friday was the first day since 1june that nowhere in the uk reached 20 celsius, and it is because of the brisk northerly wind which blew in quite a few showers, but the wind is gradually easing, high pressure is moving in to give a largely dry weekend but with some cool days and some chilly nights. in fact, temperatures are tumbling away under the clearing skies, there are still showers peppering north—eastern scotland and eastern england, but they're diminishing in number. temperatures in the towns and cities will get to single figures, fours and fives in places, and out in the countryside, lower still, but perhaps not quite as chilly as last night in northern ireland. more likely here to see some patchy fog.

but elsewhere, if you are up early enough, you may see your first touch of frost on the grass. but, otherwise, despite that unusually chilly start, quite a surprise, i think, for many, there'll be plenty of sunshine. fewer showers for eastern england compared with friday. still one or two for scotland and for the north, we've got a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud, which will push cloudier skies into northern ireland and further south through the day. still bright and dry for many. just an outside chance of a shower. we are losing that really keen breeze in the east, so, temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coasts either. as we go through saturday night into sunday, it's worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. a chilly start, particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost, not as widespread sunday morning because we've got more cloud. and it should be a dry and fine day in london if you are heading to queue here. as i say, it will be a chilly start, it will be a chilly evening. now, we do have more cloud on a very weak weather front which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales,

the north midlands, perhaps towards the south and east. but bright and dry again for many with some sunny spells as well. and that is the setup for sunday. by monday, this high pressure really is moving across the united kingdom, that weak weather front still close to the south and east, so we can't rule out a showerfor london, but on balance, it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach off the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards, really, but it does look as if for many on monday, it will be dry and bright. the issue will be some fog patches in the morning, more so than sunday — saturday and saturday. but they could be around over the weekend, but it comes more of an issue. once it clears, they should be plenty of dry and bright weather.

level of interest to our work, to the investigations.

this is bbc news. our top stories: duty officer bangs stick three times. king charles and his three siblings hold a vigil for their late mother queen elizabeth as she lies in state in westminster hall. thousands are queuing through the night to see the coffin. the wait�*s almost 25 hours. people have been told not to join until daytime. it's a cold night to be stood in a queue so long, you can see it from space. i'm mark lobel with the latest from westminster. cheering and applause. 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.

i take up my new duties with immense gratitude for the privilege of having been able to serve as prince of wales. in other news, ukraine will exhume hundreds of bodies found in graves outside izyum — a city recently recaptured from russian forces. it's only now after the russians have been pushed out that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how many victims they left behind. the queen's four children, led by king charles,

have held a vigil at westminster hall, standing in silent contemplation around their late mother's coffin while members of the public filed past quietly to pay their respects. these lucky people are nearing the front of the queue, but with a wait time of 25 hours for those near the back, people have been advised not tojoin until the morning. earlier, the king and the queen consort concluded their uk tour in wales, where the king addressed the senedd in both english and welsh. our coverage starts with this report from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. duty officer bangs stick three times. they are four people with a unique bond — a king, a princess and two princes — to whom she was first and foremost a mother, as well as their queen. charles, anne, edward and andrew entered westminster hall and approached the catafalque.

all of them, including andrew, were in uniform. the king took his place at the head of the coffin, the duke of york at the foot, the princess royal on one of the flanks, the earl of wessex on the other. they stood with their heads bowed. watching, members of the extended royal family — though not princes william and harry. they, with the queen's other grandchildren, will mount a vigil tomorrow evening. the vigil of the sons and daughter lasted for a little less than 15 minutes — a personal tribute on a very public stage — and all the while, the long lines of spectators continued to file past. for them, there'd

been an added reward. i think the strength that it took the king and his siblings, standing there in front of so many members of the public, was really overwhelming and breathtaking, really. yeah, so strong. those children are so strong. on a busy day for the new king, an important speech about diversity and faith. he told faith leaders at buckingham palace that he would be sovereign of all communities. society can only thrive through a clear collective commitment to those vital principles of freedom of conscience, generosity of spirit and care for others, which are, to me, the essence of our nationhood. i am determined as king to preserve and promote those principles across all communities and for all beliefs with all my heart.

and while the new king sets the tone for his reign, those who served the queen for many years are reflecting on the public reaction to her death. extraordinarily humbling, i think, is the first word that comes to mind. it's been so beautifully organised, this ability for thousands of people to pay this tribute, and i do think that that is an essential part of this ten—day mourning period — this contact between us, the people, and our departed queen. on monday, the state funeral will take place, when the queen's coffin will be borne to westminster abbey on a gun carriage.

i think it'll be hugely important. it will be the culmination of this long period. it will be, i believe, intensely moving and deeply solemn, but a moment, i think of — a real moment of national catharsis. it isn'tjust britain which is marking the queen's passing — the prince and princess of wales have been meeting troops from different commonwealth countries who will be taking part in the state funeral. a solemn day which will mark the end of a long reign. nicholas witchell, bbc news. tens of thousands of people are waiting for their turn to pay their respects to queen elizabeth ii at westminster hall, where she is lying in state. these are live pictures from westminster, where the queuing time is currently around 2a hours. our reporter mark lobel

his grandparents, who are royalists, brought him up he said as a fan of the royal family and he said he appreciated the time he had shared with members of the public in the queue and said he wanted to celebrate the amazing life of our queen. one of his favourite moments was receiving his obe from the queen. so very enthusiastic about the royal family, although possibly the most enthusiastic person here who has visited the queen is somebody we met earlier, a gentleman called mohammed, hospitality worker, 2a years old. i began by asking him why he wanted to come here. the reason i _ he wanted to come here. the reason i come _ he wanted to come here. the reason i come here _ he wanted to come here. the reason i come here is - he wanted to come here. the reason i come here is to witness _ reason i come here is to witness history that this moment will never happen ever again — moment will never happen ever again i— moment will never happen ever again. i was watching it at home, _ again. i was watching it at home, watching it on tv and i said _ home, watching it on tv and i said more _ home, watching it on tv and i said more watching it on screen, _ said more watching it on screen, i_ said more watching it on screen, i had to come here and watch _ screen, i had to come here and watch it— screen, i had to come here and watch it live, i had to come and — watch it live, i had to come and embrace the moment, feel the atmosphere and realise what a wonderful woman which we're never_ a wonderful woman which we're never going to see ever again who— never going to see ever again who spread her love across the wand _ who spread her love across the world which so many people come to see _ world which so many people come to see and — world which so many people come to see and for me, as a kid growing _ to see and for me, as a kid growing up, watching her on tv,

to witness a piece of history. cheering and booing. the cheers sang out alongside the jeers. most wanted to welcome a man who, for the first time, came to wales as monarch. they also wanted to remember his mother. how could we miss this occasion? very, very special to see the king and the queen consort and what a very sad but a very emotional week we've had. lel, it's a really important time, really, for us and for the king because if we can't go to london, obviously, we can come here. oh, i actually came i here because of my son, because his name is charles, so he really wants to - see the king. yeah, proud welshman, but a royalist as well. and the two things can go together? oh, definitely, definitely, i think without doubt, yeah. others do have their doubts and held a silent protest, respecting the queen's passing

but resisting what's followed. i don't believe that someone should be born into a position of power to rule over us. i don't think perhaps we would have been out today had the new king not said 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 and that we want that to be shown as well. university college, aberystwyth where, to the relief of the nation, prince charles was given a warm and very friendly welcome. those tensions have brewed for decades. in 1969, ahead of his investiture, charles came to aberystwyth for a crash course in welsh. fanfare. 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

it goes from here. the first minister mark drakeford is an avowed republican, but also determined to remain diplomatic. long—term, should wales retain the monarchy? well, i'm talking to you as the first minister of wales. but your personal view? well, i'm not here to give you my personal view. i'm not — no. 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 balmoral just two days before queen elizabeth's death. i felt so sorry for charles' last week and i wish him

all the best, you know? i saw a different side to charles this week and i really think he'll make a good king. the weeks and months ahead will show how he hopes to define that role and whether the whole of wales will embrace him. hywel griffiths, bbc wales, cardiff. to some other news now. ukraine's president zelensky has accused russia of committing war crimes in territory recently retaken 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 had 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 with ukraine having made significant territorial gains since the start of the month, although heavy fighting is continuing in the areas shown

in circles here. orla guerin, has sent this report from izyum, and it contains some distressing 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 already claiming that russia is responsible for almost all of the dead. "according to our data, "almost everyone died because of russian soldiers," says oleksandr. "some were killed, some were tortured, "some were hit in russian air and artillery strikes." he says the very first grave they opened contained the body of a civilian with a rope around his neck.

this knife was recovered from the remains of a soldier. a senior official told us more than 20 troops were found in a single grave with signs of torture. some had their hands bound. 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's only now, after the russians have been pushed out, that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how many victims they left behind. 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 gregoriy tells me, then 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." emergency service workers drained by their labours. we can't be sure of what killed all those buried here, but they expect to be digging at more sites like this in areas recently taken back from the russians. orla guerin, bbc news, izyum. let's get some of the day's other news now. officials from tajikistan and kyrgyzstan have both blamed each other for clashes

on their disputed border that left around 30 dead or injured. both countries accused each other of using heavy weaponry to shell homes and infrastructure. at least ten people have died in italy after heavy rains and flooding hit the central region of marche. search operations are under way for four people who are still missing. about ito centimetres of rain fell in three hours — that's a third of the rainfall usually received in a year. the white house says it's deeply concerned by the death of a young iranian woman after being arrested by iran's morality police. president biden's national security advisor, jake sullivan, described the incident as "unforgiveable". mahsa amini, who was 22, died after being detained in tehran for allegedly violating the islamic republic�*s strict dress code for women. asia's richest man has surpassed jeff bezos to become the world's second—richest person. gautam adani's $155 billion fortune makes him richer than the amazon founder, but not as rich as elon musk.

however, the volatility of the markets meant that the indian mining tycoon wasn't on top for long, and afterjust 15 minutes, he fell back to third place. now to australia, where travel experts have reported a spike in demand for last—minute flights to london with travellers keen to head to the city ahead of the queen's funeral on monday. those looking to make the long trip do face a difficult search for tickets with australian airlines already struggling to cope with increased demand now that the country's borders are finally open. those who do manage to book a flight to london will also face increased hotel rates with rooms at a premium as millions look to stay in the city for monday's event. let's go live to sydney now to speak to peter hosper, cofounder and ceo of the travel authority group. thank you very much forjoining us, peter. just how much demand are you seeing for flights to

london, and why do you think australians are so keen to come here? i australians are so keen to come here? .. . australians are so keen to come here? ~' ., ., , here? i think we have to see this in the — here? i think we have to see this in the context of - this in the context of australia having been shut for the best part of two years, so as soon as the borders opened this year everyone really wanted to travel, and a lot of demand was already happening in the problem that we have with the problem that we have with the slow capacity because the airlines have small aircraft we had a problem with seats, a problem getting to the uk and europe, but once the news broke about the 's jess, there europe, but once the news broke about the 'sjess, there is a lot of pent—up demand contributing to the fight. it was a sense of the kind of costs people are looking to travel to london now are

facing, and we all know what it is like to book a last—minute flight, but in this context, it is probably even a little bit harder. it is probably even a little bit harder. . . , is probably even a little bit harder. . ., , , is probably even a little bit harder. . . , ,g , harder. it certainly is. just before the _ harder. it certainly is. just before the interview, i i harder. it certainly is. just i before the interview, i think it is not too late, people can still go, but you are looking at approximately $5,500 in economy class to get to london. if you want to go business class, it is probably closer to $16,000. her majesty has enjoyed a great deal of love and affection here in australia so people are prepared to pay it.

hall and pay their respects to the queen in a final farewell. you are watching bbc news. friday was the first day since june 1 that nowhere in the uk reached 20 degrees celsius, and it's because of the brisk northerly wind which blew in quite a few showers. but the wind is gradually easing. high pressure's moving in to give a largely dry weekend, but with some cool days and some chilly nights. in fact, temperatures are tumbling away under the clearing skies. there are still showers peppering north and eastern scotland and eastern england, but they're diminishing in number. temperatures in the towns and cities will get to single figures, fours and fives in places, and out in the countryside, lower still, but perhaps not quite as chilly as last night in northern ireland. more likely here to see some patchy fog. but elsewhere, if you're up early enough, you may see your first touch of frost on the grass. but, otherwise, despite that

unusually chilly start, quite a surprise, i think, for many, there'll be plenty of sunshine. fewer showers for eastern england compared with friday. still one or two for scotland, and for the north, we've got a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud, which will push cloudier skies into northern ireland and further south through the day. still bright and dry for many. just an outside chance of a shower. we're losing that really keen breeze in the east, so temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coast either. as we go through saturday night into sunday, it's worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. a chilly start, particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost, not as widespread sunday morning because we've got more cloud. and it should be a dry and fine day in london if you are heading to queue here. but as i say, it will be a chilly start, it will be a chilly evening. now, we do introduce more cloud on a very weak weather front, which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales, the north midlands, perhaps, as i say, towards the south and the east. but bright and dry again for many with some sunny spells as well.

and that's the setup for sunday. by monday, this high pressure really is moving right across the united kingdom. that weak weather front still close to the south and east, so we can't rule out a showerfor london, but on balance, it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach off the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards, really, but it does look as if for many on monday, it will be dry and bright. the issue will be some fog patches in the morning, more so than sunday — saturday and saturday. but they could be around over the weekend, but it becomes more of an issue. once it clears, should be plenty of dry and bright weather.

this is bbc news. the headlines: king charles and his three siblings have held a vigil for their late mother, queen elizabeth, as she lies in state. the king, his brothers and his sister stood silently next to their mother's coffin as they took part in their own family tribute. thousands have continued to queue for hours to file past the coffin at westminster hall to pay their respects. the queues show no sign of shrinking with the lines stretching for miles through the streets of london. estimated waiting times is now around 2a hours. in other news, ukrainian officials say they've found more than 400 civilian graves outside izyum —

a city recently recaptured from russian forces. announcing plans to exhume the bodies, ukraine's president zelensky accused russia of commiting war crimes in the north—east territory. now on bbc news, as preparations build for the queen's state funeral on monday, we look at the main events of the past 2a hours. the atmosphere here at westminster hall calm, solemn and perhaps in the air, a sense of bittersweetness — people mourning the monarch's death while at the same time reflecting on her long life and her 70—year reign. this great room is full of people but it's almost silent here — just the odd interruption, the sound of military boots ricocheting off the stone floor,

the duty officer tapping commands with his stick, and the occasional cry of a child. it's been like that since five o'clock on wednesday afternoon, when black rod, the parliamentary officer in charge of maintaining order in the lords chamber and its precincts signalled that the doors of the hall could be opened to the public patiently queuing outside. 50 hours or so have elapsed since that moment. people at the head of what has felt at times like an infinite line have filed in past the coffin, paying their private respects to the late queen. some people walk by the catafalque lost in private thoughts. some bow or curtsey. some hold their hands in prayer or make a sign of the cross, others turn on their heel and look back, raising their hand in an informal salute as they say their farewells.

some of the visitors here knew the queen personally or worked for her, but most of us in this hall only knew her from a distance as the monarch, photographed in a newspaper, seen on television or perhaps encountered for a few precious seconds during a walkabout after the opening of a theatre or hospital or another public building. for 15 minutes this evening, the queen's subjects will be joined by her children — the king, the princess royal, the duke of york and the earl of wessex and forfar — the four siblings mourning the death of their mother. well, the union flag lowered atop victoria tower, changed for the royal standard. the royal party will mount vigil alongside the royal bodyguard, the gentleman at arms and the yeoman of the guard and appropriately, on this day when so much of the focus has been on wales, four officers from the welsh guards.

first royal vigil here was in 1936, the final night at the vigil for george v when the new king, edward viii, decided to stand watch around the catafalque with his brothers as a tribute to their late father. the king was joined by the dukes of gloucester and kent and the then duke of york who, later that same year, became george vi. he was to lie in state here when he died in 1952 and now, 70 years later, his daughter rests in westminster hall. well, this is the second time that her majesty's children have stood vigil. they did so on monday evening, while the coffin lay in st giles' cathedral in edinburgh. in 2a hours, an estimated 33,000 people filed through to pay their respects.

much has been said this week about a moment of quiet reflection for us, the population, but also for the queen's children, reflecting their own grief. as the queen said in her message of condolence to the families of victims lost in the the 9/11 attacks in new york, "nothing that can be said can begin to take away "the anguish and pain of these were moments. "grief is the price we pay for love." cheering and applause

the candle burns in front of the royal standard. these candles that burn for 2h hours, replaced each evening when the hall is briefly shut in the small hours. and behind the candle, the imperial state crown and the orb and sceptre. many of these people filing in will have no idea that they're about to share their moment of vigil, their moment of paying respect,

with the queen's children. the welsh guards doing their duty. an officer on each corner of the coffin there, uniform distinguished with their buttons arranged in two groups of five. a leek on their shoulder and collar badges and you can see the white—green—white plume on the left of their bearskins. cheering

the westminster cross that stands at the head of the coffin. and a bouquet of flowers — a wreath of white roses and dahlias, studded with pine from the gardens at the royal estate in balmoral, where the queen died last thursday. from the gardens at windsor, the queen's main home in later years, lavender, pittosporum and rosemary — the symbol of remembrance. the yeomen of the guard. one of the royal bodyguards doing their duty in this vigil.

and all of this under the great hammer beam roof of westminster hall — this great open space without a single pillar to obstruct the view. as the public enter the south of the hall, look down the steps, they're immediately struck by the vision of her majesty's coffin resting on its catafalque and bier of red and purple. the welsh guards established at the height of the first world war — that's when they were raised. duty officer bangs stick three times the duty officer using his stick to instruct the men. and here come the queen's

children — the king, the princess royal, the earl of wessex and forfar and, at the rear of the party, the duke of york. duty officer bangs stick three times they walk forward to the catafalque. they'll take place, one on each side.

and so, with three taps from the duty officer's stick, this extraordinarily visible act of private mourning comes to an end, the queen's children standing vigil in front of their mother's coffin here in westminster hall. a formal duty to the nation, a loving duty to their mother. the king, the princess royal, the duke of york, and the earl of wessex, their faces stoic as they stand there. a steady stream of members

of the public filing past. these people who have come from near and far to make this pilgrimage to express their sorrow at the death of the queen. tonight's vigil reflects the relationship between the monarchy and the state, four members of a family mourning their personal loss, surrounded by hundreds paying tribute to a loved and respected figurehead, a meeting of private and public grief. our continuous coverage of the lying in state continues on the bbc red button, at the bbc website, on the bbc parliament channel and on the iplayer. it'll be there until monday morning when her majesty the queen leaves westminster hall for a finaljourney to westminster abbey and on to windsor castle.

meanwhile, those at the head of this vast, slow—moving, snaking line of people continue to descend the steps into westminster hall. some have carefully planned for their time in the queue, others havejoined, it seems, on an impulse. i've seen sturdy outdoor gear alongside summer shorts, schoolchildren in blazers, guides and scouts, men and women wearing the black of mourning, brightly coloured cloths, suits, work wear, kente cloths, pale sawar kameezes, jeans, clerical collars. elderly couples supporting each other as they pass the coffin, teenagers standing in awe, family groups spanning several generations, a mother holding a toddler

almost too big for her arms. tens, hundreds of thousands of people all united in their desire to pay their final respects to her majesty the queen. friday was the first day since june 1 that nowhere in the uk reached 20 degrees celsius, and it's because of the brisk northerly wind which blew in quite a few showers. but the wind is gradually easing. high pressure's moving in to give a largely dry weekend, but with some cool days and some chilly nights. in fact, temperatures are tumbling away under the clearing skies. there are still showers peppering north and eastern scotland and eastern england, but they're diminishing in number. temperatures in the towns and cities will get to single figures, fours and fives in places, and out in the countryside,

lower still, but perhaps not quite as chilly as last night in northern ireland. more likely here to see some patchy fog. but elsewhere, if you're up early enough, you may see your first touch of frost on the grass. but, otherwise, despite that unusually chilly start, quite a surprise, i think, for many, there'll be plenty of sunshine. fewer showers for eastern england compared with friday. still one or two for scotland, and for the north, we've got a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud, which will push cloudier skies into northern ireland and further south through the day. still bright and dry for many. just an outside chance of a shower. we're losing that really keen breeze in the east, so temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coast either. as we go through saturday night into sunday, it's worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. a chilly start, particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost, not as widespread sunday morning because we've got more cloud. and it should be a dry and fine day in london if you are heading to queue here. but as i say,

it will be a chilly start, it will be a chilly evening. now, we do introduce more cloud on a very weak weather front, which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales, the north midlands, perhaps, as i say, towards the south and the east. but bright and dry again for many with some sunny spells as well. and that's the setup for sunday. by monday, this high pressure really is moving right across the united kingdom. that weak weather front still close to the south and east, so we can't rule out a showerfor london, but on balance, it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach off the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards, really, but it does look as if for many on monday, it will be dry and bright. the issue will be some fog patches in the morning, more so than sunday — saturday and saturday. but they could be around over the weekend, but it becomes more of an issue. once it clears, should be plenty of dry and bright weather.

this is bbc world news. our top stories: duty officer bangs stick three times king charles and his three siblings hold a vigil for their late mother, queen elizabeth, as she lies in state in westminster hall. thousands are queuing through the night to see the coffin. the wait is almost 25 hours. people have been told not to join until daytime. it's a cold night to be stood in a queue so long you can see it from space. i'm mark lobel with the latest from westminster. cheering 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. i take up my new duties with immense gratitude for the privilege of having been able to serve as prince of wales. in other news, ukraine will exhume hundreds of bodies found in graves outside izyum — a city recently recaptured from russian forces. it's only now after the russians have been pulled out that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how many victims they left behind. hello and welcome to bbc news. the queen's four children, led by king charles, have held a vigil at

westminster hall, standing in silent contemplation around their late mother's coffin while members of the public filed past quietly to pay their respects. these lucky people are nearing the front of the queue, earlier, the king and the queen consort concluded their uk tour in wales, where the king addressed the senedd in both english and welsh. our coverage starts with this report from our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell. duty officer bangs stick three times they are four people with a unique bond — a king, a princess and two princes — to whom she was first and foremost a mother, as well as their queen. charles, anne, edward and andrew entered westminster hall and approached the catafalque.

all of them, including andrew, were in uniform. the king took his place at the head of the coffin, the duke of york at the foot, the princess royal on one of the flanks, the earl of wessex on the other. they stood with their heads bowed. watching, members of the extended royal family — though not princes william and harry. they, with the queen's other grandchildren, will mount a vigil tomorrow evening. the vigil of the sons and daughter lasted for a little less than 15 minutes — a personal tribute on a very public stage — and all the while, the long lines of spectators continued to file past.

for them, there'd been an added reward. i think the strength that it took the king and his siblings, standing there in front of so many members of the public, was really overwhelming and breathtaking, really. yeah, so strong. those children are so strong. on a busy day for the new king, an important speech about diversity and faith. he told faith leaders at buckingham palace that he would be sovereign of all communities. society can only thrive through a clear collective commitment to those vital principles of freedom of conscience, generosity of spirit and care for others, which are, to me, the essence of our nationhood. i am determined as king to preserve and promote those principles across all communities and for all beliefs with all my heart.

and while the new king sets the tone for his reign, those who served the queen for many years are reflecting on the public reaction to her death. extraordinarily humbling, i think, is the first word that comes to mind. it's been so beautifully organised, this ability for thousands of people to pay this tribute, and i do think that that is an essential part of this ten—day mourning period — this contact between us, the people, and our departed queen. on monday, the state funeral will take place, when the queen's coffin will be borne to westminster abbey on a gun carriage. i think it'll be hugely important. it will be the culmination

of this long period. it will be, i believe, intensely moving and deeply solemn, but a moment, i think of — a real moment of national catharsis. it isn'tjust britain which is marking the queen's passing — the prince and princess of wales have been meeting troops from different commonwealth countries who will be taking part in the state funeral. a solemn day which will mark the end of a long reign. nicholas witchell, bbc news. tens of thousands of people are waiting for their turn to pay their respects to queen elizabeth ii at westminster hall where she is lying in state. these are live pictures from westminster where the queuing time is currently at least21t hours. our reporter, mark lobel, is in westminsterfor us.

how is it going? it's a chilly niuht how is it going? it's a chilly nicht in how is it going? it's a chilly night in westminster- how is it going? it's a chilly night in westminster but i how is it going? it's a chilly| night in westminster but it's not dampening the spirit of the queue. people are still swapping stories, making new friends, get excited about reaching the end of the queue. that's not the only thing of fighting people, the prospect of the queen's funeral in 72 hours will be something. official sale possibly be the largest ever event held in the uk for decades or even ever. that'll be something. but for now, the focus before the funeral, set to host around 100 presidents and represents hundred and 80 countries, is this queue here in westminster. for westminster hall. let me tell you, amongst the crowd, i can now reveal that i spotted a familiar face, can now reveal that i spotted a familiarface, one viewers can now reveal that i spotted a familiar face, one viewers are more accustomed to seeing in your studio, more accustomed to seeing in yourstudio, bbc more accustomed to seeing in your studio, bbc presenter. to find out who, take a look at this.

i am standing here, people are filing outside of westminster hall and look i bumped into. victoria fritz. what are you doing here? after we got off—air in the morning... we were chatting about 18 hours ago. ..and i thought, "the queue won't be that long so if ijoin it now, i probably will be done by the afternoon, home, look after the kids, it will be fine," so 1a hours later, here i am. so you haven't slept? no, i haven't slept, i haven't stopped moving and according to my phone, done 11.5 miles which i don't really understand. you can give us a unique insight into how this whole thing is really being run. how did you find it? it's absolutely amazing. in all seriousness, i've never been part of a communal moment that is so peaceful, so well—intentioned, so well mannered, so well—run and, i mean, there was not a scuffle anywhere. at one point, there were two women and their daughter

who tried to jump the queue at tower bridge and everyone looked at each other and thought, "no, this is not "cricket" and they were chucked out. but that was it. everyone else, entirely orderly, entirely democratic. i spoke to an investment banker in the queue for coffee, the sub—queue of the queue for coffee about banker bonuses and what kwasi kwarteng is doing and i spoke to a whole bunch of people about other things as well so it's an amazing thing where people are coming together. when you head into westminster hall, everyone is a private person. how was that moment for you? really, really genuinely surreal, actually, because like everyone else, you are completely transfixed by the feed, the live feed, and it is an extremely sort of solemn moment, really stripped back, and there's a lot of — beforehand, we were alljoking in the queue and it becomes more and more purposeful and sombre the closer and closer you get and then you are aware

of the solemnity of the situation. externally quite sombre and pared back and there's a position between juxtaposition between the pomp of all of the various outfits that people are wearing and just how unbelievably sparkly the crown is, which i know sounds absurd but you cannot stop looking at it, and thought of the volume of the room and how extremely pared back it actually feels. and so, it feels like a very sort of stripped back, pared back, emotional experience and when you look around, everyone is taking it extremely seriously and taking their private, personal moment to say thank you and goodbye. so different from watching it on the television, which most of us are doing. yeah, it's really strange, actually, and i think one

for people to talk to. it's extremely moving as a sort of peace... extraordinary. how does this compare to other things you've done in your life? it feels like, you know, the final act of the late queen was to bring people together. are you going to get some sleep? yes, i have a bit of a journey home but yes, i will do so. thank you. the final act of the late queen to bring people together, we will bring her grandchildren together on saturday afternoon, harry and william will be joined by six of their cousins as they will stay individual around the queen's offered. every westminster bring

incredible moments, one after the other. nancy. thank you for keeping an eye on all of it for us. mark in westminster. earlier on friday, king charles made his first official visit to wales — bringing to an end his tour of the four uk home nations, since becoming monarch. he attended a sevice of prayer and reflection for the late queen, and visited the welsh parliament — the senedd — before meeting wellwishers alongside the queen consort. alan little reports. 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. cheering and applause 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. speaks welsh the first minister mark drakeford read from the first book of kings, which includes the verse, "and now, "o my lord, you have made your servant king". choir sings welsh was confirmed as an official 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. cheering 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 the union is arrogance around its continuation. i suspect the monarchy has got 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. it must surely be counted the greatest privilege to belong to a land that could inspire such devotion. i am resolved to honour that selfless example in the spirit

of the words by which i have always tried to live my own life — ich dien, 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 had 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. on monday, he will lay his mother to rest and lead the country in mourning a monarch who had come to embody much of the character of britain itself — its shared history, its shared identity. alan little, bbc news, cardiff.

to other news now. ukraine's president zelensky has accused russia of committing 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 had 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 with ukraine having made significant territorial gains since the start of the month, although heavy fighting is continuing in the areas shown in circles here. orla guerin has sent this report from izyum, and it contains some distressing 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 already claiming that russia is responsible for almost all of the dead. "according to our data, almost everyone died "because of russian soldiers," says oleksandr. "some were killed, some were tortured, some were hit "in russian airand artillery strikes." he says the very first grave they opened contained the body of a civilian with a rope around his neck. this knife was recovered from the remains of a soldier. a senior official told us more than 20 troops were found in a single grave with signs of torture. some had their hands bound.

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's only now after the russians have been pushed out that the authorities can really investigate and can establish how many victims they left behind. 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 gregoriy tells me then, 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." emergency service workers drained by their labours. we can't be sure what killed all those buried here, but they expect to be digging at more sites like this in areas recently taken back from the russians. orla guerin, bbc news, izyum. let's get some of the day's other news. the white house says it's deeply concerned by the death of a young iranian woman after being arrested by iran's morality police. president biden's national security advisorjake sullivan described the incident as "unforgivable". mahsa amini, who was 22, died after being detained in tehran for allegedly violating the islamic republic�*s strict

it was planted in the spring for thejubilee and it was almost cut down. thankfully, it was saved because it has now become a place of memorial. it was created for the jubilee? that's right, yeah. what was originally for a lovely celebration, a happy celebration for the queen, has now become a real tribute to her. normally, you'd have got rid of it by this time of the year, but you're going to keep this, i'm presuming, now? yes, we're going to try and keep it for long as possible. so a place that began as a celebration has, in many ways, become a place of memorial. but it will soon be gone. however, there are many others now thinking about how to create some lasting memory of this moment. this mural, for instance, was commissioned and created within hours of last week's sad news. abraham, ourartist,

was here at 5:30am yesterday morning and we were done by about 3:30, so smashed it out pretty quickly. a request from the children of gainsborough primary in newham, who are very proud of their new artwork. what did you think when you first saw it? i thought it was a beautiful painting and i was so happy with the people that did it. it's amazing. not all of us can lay flowers at a palace or queue for the lying in state, but there are many ways to remember. david sillito, bbc news, newham, east london. let's take a look now at how the newspapers are reflecting on events of the past 2a hours or so. with me is our reporter shelley phelps. many of the front pages lead on striking images of king charles, standing with his head bowed during a vigil for his late mother. they are very powerful images, aren't they?

that's right, looking at these, several have got these full front page images, very poignant, very moving photos and this is of the visual of the princes, this is where the queen's children stand guard around the coffin and we've seen them do that once already since she died, that was in edinburgh, and if you look at the times, theirfront edinburgh, and if you look at the times, their front page, guarding their mother, and if we look inside mike quentin letts has quite a long, detailed piece about the silence speaks volumes, he has written, so he goes into quite a lot of detail about the earl of wessex and he said the earl of wessex and he said the earl of wessex and he said the earl of wessex stood so still, he could have been carved by the griffins that adorned the norman hall. and he says the visual lasted 15 minutes, perhaps not long enough for a lifetime but it's a lifetime of private memories. so, some quite detailed going into a lot of the salinity and, of course, the queen'sgrandchildren will hold that vigil tomorrow night

and a story that's quite a lot of coverage is harry will bear his army uniform by order of the king and of course in this picture as well, four of the queen's grandchildren, including prince andrew, are in military uniform, but the first time he has been doing that. is time he has been doing that. is a striking picture but also, the guardian and daily star are both talking about football legend david beckham who has been given praise for queueing like everyone else.— like everyone else. that's ri . ht, like everyone else. that's right. love _ like everyone else. that's right, love his— like everyone else. that's right, love his story i like everyone else. that's right, love his story so i like everyone else. that's right, love his story so if| like everyone else. that's i right, love his story so if we turn to page 11 of the guardian, but not quite a lot of detail on this, david beckham saying it was very special and hailing the monarch's legacy and said it was a sad day but a day for us to remember the incredible legacy that he has left and also, he talks a lot about how it was his grandparents the kind of inspired his love of the monarchy.— the monarchy. really a fantastic _ the monarchy. really a fantastic moment i the monarchy. really a fantastic moment for i the monarchy. really a i fantastic moment for him. apparently he turned up with doughnuts. irate

apparently he turned up with doughnuts-— doughnuts. we will have to leave it there _ doughnuts. we will have to leave it there with - doughnuts. we will have to leave it there with the i leave it there with the doughnuts but thank you for joining us. this is bbc news. stay with us. friday was the first day sincejune 1 that nowhere in the uk reached 20 degrees celsius, and it's because of the brisk northerly wind which blew in quite a few showers. but the wind is gradually easing. high pressure's moving in to give a largely dry weekend but with some cool days and some chilly nights. in fact, temperatures are tumbling away under the clearing skies. there are still showers peppering north and eastern scotland and eastern england, but they're diminishing in number. temperatures in the towns and cities will get to single figures, fours and fives in places, and out in the countryside, lower still, but perhaps not quite as chilly as last night in northern ireland. more likely here to see some patchy fog. but elsewhere, if you're up early enough, you may see your first touch of frost on the grass. but, otherwise, despite that

unusually chilly start — quite a surprise, i think, for many — there'll be plenty of sunshine. fewer showers for eastern england compared with friday. still one or two for scotland and for the north, we've got a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud, which will push cloudier skies into northern ireland and further south through the day. still bright and dry for many. just an outside chance of a shower. we're losing that really keen breeze in the east, so temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coast either. as we go through saturday night into sunday, it's worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. a chilly start, particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost — not as widespread sunday morning, because we've got more cloud. and it should be a dry and fine day in london if you are heading to queue here. but as i say, it will be a chilly start, it will be a chilly evening. now, we do introduce more cloud on a very weak weather front which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales, the north midlands, perhaps, as i say, towards the south and the east.

but bright and dry again for many with some sunny spells as well. and that's the set—up for monday. by monday, this high pressure really is moving right across the united kingdom. that weak weather front still close to the south and east, so we can't rule out a shower for london but, on balance, it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach off the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards, really, but it does look as if for many on monday, it will be dry and bright. the issue will be some fog patches in the morning, more so than sunday — saturday and saturday. but they could be around over the weekend, but it becomes more of an issue. once it clears, should be plenty of dry and bright weather.

this is bbc news. the headlines: king charles and his three siblings have held a vigil for their late mother, queen elizabeth, as she lies in state. the king, his brothers and his sister stood silently next to their mother's coffin as they took part in their own family tribute. thousands have continued to queue for hours to file past the coffin at westminster hall to pay their respects. the queues show no sign of shrinking with the lines stretching for miles through the streets of london. estimated waiting time is now around 2a hours. in other news, ukrainian officials say they've found more than 400 civilian graves outside izyum — a city recently recaptured from russian forces. announcing plans to exhume

at a time of extreme climate crisis, we've got to consider all of these things if we're going to avoid an apocalyptic fate. this is one of the more controversial... the digital technology we have can create a sense of awe, a sense of wonder and a sense of playfulness, but, ultimately, it can ignite hope and ignite a sense of courage to enact change. what are we doing here? so, this is, essentially, us dissipating into particles. we're looking at our identity through the lens of fluid ecology. you've done this before, you're more flowery now than me. i've got that growth energy going on, yeah. i remember my old drama classes where they said, "pretend you're a tree." now i don't have to do those classes anymore. immersive media that transports us in size and place lets us play games with the elements and see our surroundings differently is not only a joy to experience,

most of us are now quite used to the idea of recycling our phones when they reach the end of their life. but if you're anything like me, you probably don't think too much about what happens to them once you send them away. here, at a secret location in the netherlands, apple have created daisy, this robot behind me. and it takes the process of recycling these things to a whole new level. let's give it a go. daisy can completely deconstruct an entire iphone from start to finish in undera minute. the product travels through four modules. the first step separates the display from the iphone. what's happening behind me is the removal of the batteries. and to do that, it's using really cold air — —70 degrees celsius — to actually stop the adhesive from working so the battery can be taken out. it's pretty cool.

afterwards, the screws are taken out, before all the different components are separated by the machine. all individual bits and pieces [and here to then be sorted bya human. most modern smartphones contain as many as 30 elements and rare earth materials, including cobalt, tungsten, gold and tin. and the world economic forum has warned that some elements may be completely depleted in 100 years. apple claims that new methods of recycling phones, like daisy, could help recover more of these metals from end—of—life phones, and that its products contain more recycled materials than ever before. rare earth elements and metals require extensive mining with considerable environmental, social and political impacts. our goal is to make all of our products using only recycled or renewable material. daisy is helping us with that — she can do 23 models of iphone, she can do 2.4 million units a year, and all of that means more material going back around a circular supply chain so,

ultimately, we can end our reliance on mining. daisy concentrates on 1a key materials which would otherwise be extracted from the earth, from the rare earth magnets to the aluminium in the housing. if you take, for example, the main logic boards, the cameras and the flexes, one tonne of that has the same amount of material that we'd have to mine 2,000 tonnes of new material to get to, so it's quite important and also it's much lower carbon. but it's notjust about recovering the materials, but crucially, getting them back at a purity where they can be used again. the brute force traditional methods of recycling can degrade the recovered materials or miss them entirely, meaning they can end up in landfill, causing pollution and environmental damage. perhaps, though, the most sustainable solution of all would be reducing the volume of e—waste we create in the first place. paul there, in the netherlands, looking at ways to reduce our

e—waste. later in the show, spencer will be talking more about sustainability with the co—creator of the ipod. now, here in the uk, conservationists are also seeking to protect the earth and the joy of living things on it. they've gone for a rest in the shade. my daughter's favourite, i had to come and see them for her. london zoo's best known for protecting endangered animals. there are over 750 different species here. think you might be able to hear one of them behind me! but today, i'm taking a leafier approach. i'm going to sow some seeds with my smartphone. this is the eiwaz tree of life app. your mission — to plant a virtual tree. ok, so i need to find a big space — that hits sorted. scan your surroundings and digital branches unfurl in augmented reality. oh, wow, there's a tree. a big tree.

and a series of mini games plays out. oh, no, it's on fire. all to unlock your very own digital seed. a heart is drifting to the ground, and tap to grow. you can design and snap pictures of your own creations too. ooh, i can change the colour of my tree! but this isn't just for fun. the app also tells you where in the world a real tree is going to be planted on your behalf, giving impact and carbon information. and to mark the moment, you could always rope in a friend to take a video of you under the ar branches. the app's creator believes that this intersection of art, technology and science can inspire real change. martine, tell me about the technical process behind the ar app. eiwaz tree of life was essentially made by drones 3d—scanning an ash tree,

and then we put it through the processing software photogrammetry, and then that essentially takes the 2d photos and makes it into a 3d asset. add to that some virtual sculpting and gameplay developed on unity, and you get an exciting interactive experiment. the essence of this is that i want to empower people, i want them to feel that they're part of the solution and they're part of a greater movement in a battle for nature. martine has sourced donations to grow 200,000 trees. 140,000 of these will be earthed in the philippines, which has lost 50% of its mangroves. the mangroves are i biodiversity superstars. they provide nursery i grounds for local species. they are vital stocks i of fisheries and income for communities. they protect coastlines - from damaging floods and storm surges, and they also lock vast amounts of carbon i into the ground.

replenishing this kind of natural resource is vital, even if trees aren't cute or fluffy. animals are great ambassadors for conservation. _ i'm standing here in front of our penguin exhibits, i which are always i incredibly popular. however, conservation can be quite an abstract notion. i we can be asking people to care about things that are many i thousands of miles away from them. i people are engaging more and more with the climatej crisis in particular, - and looking to restore whole ecosystems, and that's i really where our focus is. markers like this one in london zoo are designed to grab the attention of passers—by, and portals have popped up in cities including oslo, copenhagen and at the world expo in dubai, although you can play anywhere through the app. this project isn't going to fix climate change overnight, but it was certainly fun getting my digital fingers green. that looks less like a real tree... or whatever other colours i fancied. that looks spooky.

ok, time for this week's tech round—up now, and first up, it's official — ads are coming to netflix. yep, co—ceo ted sarandos has announced the streaming giant will begin testing a new cheaper tariff option which you can use if you don't mind some commercials popping up while you watch your favourite shows. medical students at the university of cambridge are taking part in what the uni says is a world first — treating holographic patients. through the use of an augmented reality headset, the students are learning by practising on virtual people. it feels very much more that you're connected to the scenario. and when you feel the patient, you see their neck muscles straining, and the way they're breathing, the trained eye of a doctor will tell a lot from how a patient�*s chest rises and falls, and we spend a lot of time trying to get that exactly right. nasa has launched its first rocket from a commercial spaceport outside the united states.

it hopes the sub—orbital rocket launched from australia will enable astrophysics studies that can only take place in the southern hemisphere. and after taking me for a spin last year, paralysed racing driver sam schmidt has broken new ground by being the first person ever to complete the hill climb at the goodwood festival of speed using only head movements and breath to drive. he achieved the feat in his modified mclaren that uses infra—red cameras and a breath—measuring device. i'm at the barbican in london to meet tony fadell, the co—creator of one of apple's biggest icons, which has recently been decommissioned after 20 years. can we have a moment of silence, please, for the ipod? this is your baby. it is. how do you feel about it? oh, it's obviously sad to see an old friend go, but at the end of the day, you know, technology marches on. without the ipod, the modern—day apple wouldn't

exist, and the iphone, i don't think, would have ever existed if the ipod didn't. was there any consideration for the green credentials of these devices — the disposability, the renewability of these things — was that even on the table back then? no, it wasn't really highly considered by any means. of course, it wasn't just, go trash things, but at the same time, it's very different now. do you think we have reached a turning point now, where companies are more aware, and in fact, it might be good to market something that can last a few years? you know, the iphone i have in my pocket is not the latest one. you don't have to necessarily ship new hardware. in fact, it might be actually more profitable for the company to ship a lot more services on the same piece of hardware. what we should be seeing is more subscription—based devices, and you get a new version of the device when the company thinks you need it. maybe it's the right thing to do for the environment, maybe for the customer as well. what's the next big idea? i think when we look at our existential problems on this planet, there are so many ideas that need

to be brought to life. something like the hydrogen economy. we can use hydrogen to make all kinds of materials, and make them much more climate—friendly. and actually for business, they're actually better for business, you can make more money. agriculture, materials, transportation — we should be using all of the technology to revolutionise those, some of the biggest polluters on the planet. now all we have to do is convince big oil. but, for his part, fadell heads a fund that's made dozens of climate investments. although he's notjust focused on this world. virtual reality — discuss. you can make shoes, you can make furniture, homes, what have you. it is the first way to truly break the 2d barrier, to 3d. so, fadell is backing virtual collaboration, though the metaverse at large doesn't quite have him convinced. some people are trying to trap us in these kinds of headsets. it's a place where you're

going to go socialise, where we're going to dance, we're all going to turn into cartoon characters, we'll never even see each other�*s eyes. is that a problem we really need to solve? i don't think so. let's park zuckerberg's vision for a moment, then, and ask tony instead about apple's biggest visionary. steve moved the whole smartphone industry. yes, i'd like to order 4,000 lattes to go, please. no, just kidding! the great thing about steve was he never projected himself as a real expert of any one thing. so there was some humility there — it wasn'tjust about, i know everything and i'm right all the time? absolutely not — he had strong opinions, but sometimes they were weakly held, if we brought in data or other things to show him that there was a different way. and since stevejobs, the biggest personality in tech surely now has to be this guy. hope you like what you see. but what does fadell make of him? without the personalities, without the passion, without the drive, you wouldn't see the ev revolution

that we're having. you need these personalities that people can really resonate with. that was tony fadell, who is admittedly a bit of a character himself, and he's not the only one who believes that big tech can clean up. adrienne murray's been finding out more in denmark. whalesong each time we upload a selfie, chat online or stream a video, we're transmitting data to and from a server, and all those files we store virtually in the cloud, well, there's a physical backbone, keeping it all running smoothly — a datacentre. this hyperscale facility on the outskirts of odense in denmark is among a growing number found in the cooler nordic countries. and here, how our internet use is actually helping to warm people's homes.

this is one of our servers. and if you feel underneath it's quite... it's really hot. our datacentre is one of three in europe, providing services for all our applications, facebook, instagram, whatsapp, messenger, etc. it is pictures, videos, stories, all of that. all these servers are running 24/7, and keeping them ticking over requires huge amounts of energy. but they also produce a lot of heat. at many data centres, the heat given off is lost or wasted. here, the hot air is trapped behind the servers and then it's put to use. gosh, it really is much warmer in here, it's like stepping inside a sauna. what happens to the heat that's coming off these servers? so the heat goes up to the roof where we have some cooling units.

when it reaches the rooftop, the hot air flows through almost 200 heat exchangers. oh, gosh. that's really windy. we are getting cold water from a district heating system from the city, and then we give them warm water back. it is a heat exchange, so you take one warm element and then one cold element, and you actually exchange the heat and warmth. residual cool air is left over from this process and that's used to help cool all those hot servers. across the road is a pump station. all these different coloured pipes are carrying water. as you might have guessed, red is hot and blue is cold. so right here, we have the heat pumps where we elevate the heat. so when we receive it, it's only 27 degrees celsius. but we need it to elevate it to 70 degrees to put it in this district heating grid. district heating is a community—wide heating system

that's common in scandinavia. in odense, which is the third largest city in denmark, we have about 200,000 inhabitants. that's about 100,000 households. and this plant can actually provide heat for more than 10% of these customers. hello, welcome. hi, thank you. long—time resident hans erik is one of them. what do you get as part of the district heating? it's water, it's heating, it's everything with hot water. you don't have to have a boiler, it's coming out of the pipes. every household has a meter, and then you pay for what you use. what do you make of the fact that the surplus heat from the datacentre is now also providing heat to homes in the area? i mean, the heat is there. either you give it to the birds or you make use of it in our households.

other nordic countries like sweden have also embraced the idea of warming homes with recycled heat. and in finland, microsoft and energy firm fortum are now planning the world's biggest project of this kind. that was adrienne in denmark. but these companies aren't the only ones considering how our buildings could become more sustainable. this is recycled concrete. the idea is that that'll be the basis of kind of almost a whole ecosystem. my name is martyn dada—robertson, i'm professor of emerging technology at newcastle university. we're sitting in the ome, which is an experimental house where we're developing a new generation of building technologies. the way that we build isn't sustainable — it's polluting, it uses high amounts of energy, and that really needs to be addressed if we're to live sustainably. just behind me is one

of the most significant pieces of biotechnology that we have. it's a structure that is initially knitted, grown with a root network of fungus we call mycelium. this is black fabric, - and the white that you're seeing is all the mycelium. it is, in a sense, mould in here, or at least what some people think of as being mould. this is a case where we could replace, say, a cement with a biological process instead. this is quite nice, the way you can see the cellulose. it's not a stained glass window, it's a stained cellulose window. it looks like a kind of skin. in our different labs, we're growing different materials. but in relationship to digital technologies as well. we're developing a robot arm to control the way that materials are deposited in three dimensions. we're also developing our own machine that looks a little bit like a 3d printer. the main kind of fermentation will be happening here. -

the pumps will be located here. it allows us to program the material for different outcomes and different material properties. imagine the construction of a wall. you've got your bricks, which are cemented together, often you have insulation material, you have your plasterboard inside. we want to do that in one step. the wall might be able to respond to light by thickening, maybe giving greater insulation or reducing insulation, maybe allow a building to sweat in the way that skin does. that will mean that servicing our buildings are not as heavy, because we don't have to make use of heating and ventilation quite as much. we use all kinds of different computational models that are key to the research that we do. often, they're modelling the way in which our biological systems will respond to different environments. we're even thinking about the soil beneath our houses. the idea is that the bacteria can detect the load on the soils and make crystals that will make

the soil stronger. we're not using polluting concrete, and moving the land as a very— energy—intensive process. artificial intelligence might give us a way to discover these new biologies and processes that we can't, as human beings, on our own, work out. some of our technologies are quite near—future. i can see mycelium, for example, being part of our built environment actually very quickly. this feels really, really solid. some of the work in engineered living materials is decades and decades away. there are lots of technical challenges, but also the construction industry is very conservative, so persuading people that this is the future is going to take a lot of validation and effort. sustainability calls for transformational technologies that will change the way that we live. we've had the digital revolution, but we see ourselves as heading up

a biological revolution. that sense that we're at the frontier of a completely new science and technology is really exciting. some great ideas there, although some of it did look a little bit unusual — i'm not quite sure that it would fit in with my decor. whilst that's all we've got time for this week, i think i'll stick around for a wander. they know how to do it — slower pace of life. friday was the first day sincejune 1 that nowhere in the uk reached 20 degrees celsius, and it's because of the brisk northerly wind which blew in quite a few showers. but the wind is gradually easing. high pressure's moving

in to give a largely dry weekend but with some cool days and some chilly nights. in fact, temperatures are tumbling away under the clearing skies. there are still showers peppering north and eastern scotland and eastern england, but they're diminishing in number. temperatures in the towns and cities will get to single figures, fours and fives in places, and out in the countryside, lower still, but perhaps not quite as chilly as last night in northern ireland. more likely here to see some patchy fog. but elsewhere, if you're up early enough, you may see your first touch of frost on the grass. but, otherwise, despite that unusually chilly start — quite a surprise, i think, for many — there'll be plenty of sunshine. fewer showers for eastern england compared with friday. still one or two for scotland and for the north, we've got a band of rain, patchy rain and cloud, which will push cloudier skies into northern ireland and further south through the day. still bright and dry for many. just an outside chance of a shower. we're losing that really keen breeze in the east, so temperatures won't be quite as low for the north sea coast either. as we go through saturday night

into sunday, it's worth noting another chilly night if you are heading into the capital. a chilly start, particularly in the south, with a touch of local grass frost — not as widespread sunday morning, because we've got more cloud. and it should be a dry and fine day in london if you are heading to queue here. but as i say, it will be a chilly start, it will be a chilly evening. now, we do introduce more cloud on a very weak weather front which might give the odd shower for the north—west of england, north wales, the north midlands, perhaps, as i say, towards the south and the east. but bright and dry again for many with some sunny spells as well. and that's the set—up for monday. by monday, this high pressure really is moving right across the united kingdom. that weak weather front still close to the south and east, so we can't rule out a shower for london but, on balance, it should be dry. the weather fronts are starting to approach off the atlantic as well, heralding a change from tuesday onwards, really, but it does look as if for many on monday, it will be dry and bright. the issue will be some fog patches in the morning, more so than sunday — saturday and saturday. but they could be around over

the weekend, but it becomes more of an issue. once it clears, should be plenty of dry and bright weather.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt in westminster and nina warhurst in the studio in salford. our headlines today: a tribute to their mother. the queen's four children, led by king charles, held a vigil beside her coffin in westminster hall. it was a very emotional moment and that'sjust added it was a very emotional moment and that's just added to the whole afternoon, evening. unbelievable. a warning to people not to travel to join

the queue to see the queen lying in state — it's close to full
