hello. you're watching the bbc news channel with joanna gosling. more new on the queen's funeral. crown prince pavlos is the eldest son of constantine ii, the last king of greece, who reigned from 1964 to 1973. queen elizabeth is his third cousin, twice removed. he has travelled to london for queen elizabeth's funeral and spoke to us about his memories of the queen. always received us with a smile. my parents were very well taken care of when we left greece and lived in england for many years thereafter, my father was always

a good confidant for the family and always by her side. sadly he is not so well now so is unable to come over. i am going with my mother and my wife to stand in for my father. but the queen was always receiving us with great smiles and family friendship, always inquiring of how things were going on back home or elsewhere. one of the most wonderful people ever. "one of the most wonderful people ever." so much has been said about her empathy, kindness. that's something you saw up close? empathy, kindness, her service. she was a guiding force for the rest of us young people, not only from family but beyond and for her husband as well, the duke of edinburgh, both were dedicated to their service. that came through in a very natural way to us. they would ask you questions on what you were doing in life and how you are getting on and expected to move on in the right way. those were great guidelines she kept till the very end. you obviously had the link,

notjust the family link, personal link, but also through your own service with the military. yes, i served in the royal scots dragoon guards, one of the regiments she is commander—in—chief. it was for me one of the most wonderful experiences to have served her directly as such. wonderful scottish regiment and in my mind one of the better cavalry regiments, great service honours, and i was very lucky to have been there when she visited us when i was stationed as a young officer as well as coming back to visit the regiment when she gave us our new standards. she has always had great contact with the regiment. ifeel like not only am i part of her regimental family, but also the real family. so both combined are a wonderful experience for me. a big loss? big loss. she passed away in scotland, the regiment comes from scotland, these are also things i felt close to, having served with a scots regiment.

people asked why i'm there. i fitted in very well with the scots for some reason. maybe th blue and white flags, one of the reasons. she was always well revered and i know my mother would give me a phone call as comic relief, and i would be told, the queen is calling, i'd say, "you had better tell me which one." not many people can say that. also i read a really nice little moment from your own wedding when the queen was there and the official photographs were being taken and she took her place in the front row for the formal photographs and your wife's train was laid out and she helped to rearrange it. she obviously knew how to maintain the right decorum and being a lady herself, knew what women liked, and have things taken care of in that way. she's a very human person. anyone who has spoken to her,

met her, has realised the real human being behind that. even in the latter years where we've had social media being more apparent, you can see a lot more of herself and the family. i think the last maybe five years, the line between herself as a queen, the then—prince of wales, now king charles iii, and now william, prince of wales, they have had a really good time to join the chain of command and slotting straight through is, it could not have worked better in my mind. it's a lot to say to her, opening up her mind to the new ways of communicating. when you describe her as a very human person, she obviously transcended us all, but that humanity is what gave that connection? exactly. you see it by that wonderful video she did with paddington bear, that's such a heart—warming experience that nobody expected.

the whole of england, the whole of london, went "aw!" when she came on the screens. these are special moments we will always remember. such a human touch to the people. people turning up to visit her, 12 hours or more standing and walking, it's an example of how they really felt, her passion towards her country and her realm. i am honoured to have been part of that for a time of my life. also talking of the importance of the transition now to king charles iii and how over the recent years in particular there has been that sense of a handover. we will never see a more well—prepared person having been waiting for that role but he has got

to know his country so well by creating the charity such as the princes trust. i'm very much part of the princes trust international which we brought to greece. these are ways of connecting you could not have done if he was the king at the time. people will know him, well have felt his empathy towards them before he takes on the role. from day one, his speeches and coming out to see the people outside buckingham palace and thereafter on multiple occasions, you see the immediate connection with the people, heavy wants to be there with them and feels the heart as much as he feels and he will be wonderful king. unbelievably moving to hear those first shouts of god save the king from the public. as he had that first moment connecting with the people. after the passing of his mother when he was outside buckingham palace. thatjust under scoring that transition that happens

the moment the monarch passes away, the moment the monarch passes away, the next in line step straight up. at the hardest of times when he is grieving. grieving—r . which grieving,” . which then eventually will moment, which then eventually will be a great moment later on but it s : people ji— people like you too and and much crying and weeping and general signs of there is so much signs of being sad. there is so much this point in time, both going on at this point in time, both for his majesty and the prince of wales. walking behind their mother, their grandmother, but also the crowds being around you, this gives you a great strength. i'm sure there will be moments they will sit back and have to weep on their own or as and have to weep on their own or as a family but in front of the family at gives you so much energy. do not distinguish between not showing any

signs of remorse more as just pure strength given by the people that are just behind them and strength given by the people that arejust behind them and of strength given by the people that are just behind them and of that moment in time, also keeping to themselves. moment in time, also keeping to themselves-_ moment in time, also keeping to themselves. ., . ., themselves. you have spoken of your ersonal themselves. you have spoken of your personal connection, _ themselves. you have spoken of your personal connection, your— themselves. you have spoken of your personal connection, your family - personal connection, your family link with the queen and the family. what do you think will be the legacy of queen elizabeth ii?— of queen elizabeth ii? undoubtedly 70 ears is of queen elizabeth ii? undoubtedly 70 years is beyond _ of queen elizabeth ii? undoubtedly 70 years is beyond anybody's - 70 years is beyond anybody's ability. it is something that will very rarely happen in any persons lifetime. we havejust seen basically somebody who has been through the second world war up to today. the abolition of the world, if not only your own country here. her steadfastness of being the same person from day one until the last day, working for her nation, for the bettering of her people without taking any interest in her own well being maintaining herself and the

country. having also evolved, opened up country. having also evolved, opened up over time to different ways that allowed as the world involved and i think it is that same person she was the day she became queen at 26 and the day she became queen at 26 and the same person on the day she passed away having just received her new prime minister. i think the things that will be remembered as being the same person. a lady, a mother, a grandmother, great—grandmother and a queen. crown prince pavlos, cousin of the queen. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris. hello again. the weather today is looking largely quiet and dry for many of you. however we do have thicker cloud compared with the last few days as you can see on the satellite picture, the cloudiest

weather is across the north and east of the uk, close to these weather fronts. they will be one or two light showers but even though it is cloudy today, most of the cloud is still pretty high in the sky so there will be brighter spells pushing through time to time. as we go through the rest of the day there is the risk of a few showers, northern scotland, eastern areas of england, crossing the isle of man, greater manchester, the midlands but even these areas, there will be big gaps between so you have a chance of it staying dry all day. temperatures for many about 15—17, for the queen's lying—in—state it will probably stay dry, just a small chance of a late day shower and for the state funeral tomorrow, again looking quite cloudy, the wind a bit lighter and there will be bright spells at times. overnight tonight, cloud thickens across the north—west of the country and we end the night with a little bit of patchy rain working into the western isles. temperatures holding to double figures for some, otherwise with clear spells,

temperatures about 7—9. a chilly start to the day, monday, for quite a few of you. the threat of light rain across the eastern areas, but otherwise a dry day with a bit of cloud, bright or sunny spells. temperatures coming up an odd degree, 16 for glasgow, 18 belfast, 18—19 for cardiff and london. the week ahead stays quiet until we get to thursday when these more active weather fronts start to push in off the atlantic and they will bring heavy rain to north—western areas of the uk, weather fronts staggering towards the south—east by the end of the week. tuesday, the thickest cloud across northwest areas, splashes of rain but no significant amount. variable cloud with some bright or sunny spells and temperatures climbing an odd degree, up to 20 around the cardiff area. quite quiet until thursday when you see the wind pick—up, a band of rain moves

from the western that could be heavy for a time. that is your weather. goodbye.

this is bbc world news, i'm katty kay at westminster. king charles arrives at buckingham palace where he'll hold a reception for the world leaders here in london to attend queen elizabeth's funeral. president biden is among the vips here for the service. new zealand's prime minister paid tribute to the queen and those mourning her. it isa it is a very moving thing to witness. it is also the most fitting tribute i can think of. the queen was here for her people, and know her people are there for her. officials are expected to say later that the no new mourners will be able to join the lying in state queue. and i'm ros atkins, with the other headlines this hour.

millions of people in south western japan have been forced to leave their homes — as the region braces itself for the biggest typhoon in decades. ukraine says more than 59 bodies have now been recovered from a mass burial site, in the recently liberated, city of izyum. and we meet the artist behind the striking portrait of the queen which was broadcast around the world on the news of her death. hello, and welcome. people are still queueing, some of them have been queueing all night long, but i have to say, everyone i've spoken to is that they are very glad to have been in that queue. the

atmosphere is extraordinary, almost festive, but in a respectful kind of way. it is respected, people has a pleasure to be in say it has been a pleasure to be in the queue. those in the public, waiting to pay their respects, world leaders are also preparing to arrive in london as final preparations are under way for queen elizabeth's state funeral. king charles iii will host a reception for hundreds of world leaders and royals at buckingham palace this evening. officials are now advising anyone else thinking ofjoining the queue to pay their respect to queen elizabeth, who is lying in state, not to set off from home, with the line expected to close later this afternoon. we'll bring you that news as soon as we get it. last night, the queen's eight grandchildren, led by princes william and harry... a diplomatic correspondent has all of the day's news. the funeral may be tomorrow but

world leaders are gathering already. the us presidentjoe biden and his wife touched down late last night. one of more than 500 foreign dignitaries assembling to pay their respects to a woman in the world knew as the queen. today, camilla the queen consort has paid her own tributes to the late monarch, telling a special bbc programme how the queen established her role in a world dominated by men. she has been part of our lives forever. i'm 75 now and i can't remember anybody except the queen being there. it must have been so difficult for her, being a solitary woman, there were not women prime ministers or presidents, she was the only one so i think she carved her own role. i will always remember that smile, you know, that smile was unforgettable. last night the queen's eight

grandchildren held vigil around the grandmother's coffin, another historic innovation. all sharing the same space as a public filed past the catafalque, all mourning and remembering together. today, world leaders willjoin the public too at westminster hall, paying their own respects on what is the last full day of the lying in state before the funeral tomorrow. jacinda ardern, who has already been to westminster, told the bbc the relationship of her country would evolve after the death of the queen. king charles has visited new zealand as many times. he is well known in new zealand. he shares many passions and interests that new zealanders do. and i think that means that relationship already exists, it's a transition, but it's not a jarring transition for new zealand. many of the visiting vips have already signed a book of condolence at lancaster house and more are expected today.

a steady file of the global great and good litter will a diplomatic and good later will a diplomatic gathering not seen for decades, a full state reception at buckingham palace hosted by the king, who was welcomed by the crowds as he arrived there at this morning. earlier, the irish taoiseach was given a low—key welcome in downing street ahead of what has been dubbed an informal conversation with the prime minister. this weekend, the king has also met the new australian prime minister, a republican, who today gave the bbc his assessment of how far the new monarch should engage in public issues. it's important that the sovereign stay distant from party political issues, but from my perspective, what i've said is that i would be very comfortable with the king expressing views

about the importance of climate change. it is about the very survival of our way of life. but politics is for another day. at windsor, the flowers left by the public are being arranged ahead of the funeral and this evening at eight o'clock there will be a national minute's silence. another moment to pause and remember. we will remember the queen's funeral, of course, but we will also remember the queue. here, funeral, of course, but we will also rememberthe queue. here, right funeral, of course, but we will also remember the queue. here, right by westminster, as we are getting towards the end of the queue, there is a team of heroes who are organising it all, and they are scouts. i am joined organising it all, and they are scouts. iam joined by organising it all, and they are scouts. i am joined by a couple of them here. thank you very much for joining me. beth, what is it like

it is a huge operation, it has been planned for years, but it is taking people like these two to keep the queue moving... studio: as you can tell, we have lost some sound. we will endeavour to resolve that as soon as possible. let's continue our coverage of this final full day of people queueing to pay their respect to queen elizabeth lying in state in westminster hall. the planning is very much continuing ahead of the state funeral on monday morning. in the last few hours, the duke of york has paid tribute to his mother the queen. andrew hailed the late monarch saying, "i have found your knowledge

and wisdom infinite, with no boundary or containment." andrew accompanied his words with a black and white photo taken by society photographer cecil beaton of his mother holding him as a newborn in march 1960. he added, "i will miss your insights, advice and humour". let's cross over to my colleague rebecca jones who is at buckingham palace. good to see you, tell us more about what is happening there, please. hello to you all at home on a wonderfully warm and sunny afternoon here at buckingham palace. who knows, perhaps the fine and dry weather has encouraged more and more people to come down here, because still they come. they come in their hundreds, hundreds and hundreds of people are here, clutching bouquets. i spoke to some people have here to

buckingham palace because they are not sure that they were able to queue for hours and hours to see the queen lying in state at westminster hall, so they decided to come here to buckingham palace instead to pay their respects and remember her majesty the queen, and who knows, perhaps even to catch a glimpse of the new king. those that were here at about 12:15pm this afternoon were treated to a glance of the new king, and he has not emerged since then, but, of course, a lot of the people who are here waiting will be hoping that perhaps he will emerge at some point for one of those walkabouts that seem to have become something of a hallmark of the early days of his reign. you will remember he came out of buckingham palace to greet

the crowds after he returned here after the death of the queen at balmoral. the car is stopped, and he got out to greet those people, and since then, in the last few days, we have seen him in scotland, in england, in wales and northern ireland, meeting the crowds. yesterday, so memorably, with his son, the prince of wales, meeting crowds who have been queueing to see the queen's coffin at westminster hall. a very busy day for the king, we know that he has had an audience with the prime minister, liz truss, earlier on today, and then later on, the state banquet that we have been talking about. he will be hosting princes, princesses, prime ministers, ambassadors, diplomats, from around 200 different countries, all of whom have arrived here in london for the queen's funeral

tomorrow. he will be hosting that state occasion, that state perception, it would be an opportunity, perhaps for these dignitaries to mix a little more in formally than they would have otherwise been able to. there have been told they will be able to go to westminster hall if they are able to to see the queen lying in state and to see the queen lying in state and to sign a book of condolence at lancaster house if they would like to do that as well. the focal point very much this afternoon here at buckingham palace, and still the crowds keep coming.— buckingham palace, and still the crowds keep coming. thank you very much, ou crowds keep coming. thank you very much. you have _ crowds keep coming. thank you very much, you have 500 _ crowds keep coming. thank you very much, you have 500 dignitaries - crowds keep coming. thank you very | much, you have 500 dignitaries from around the world, organising that, without anything else, is a huge undertaking. of course, it is king

charles's first international event as king at buckingham palace, meanwhile he and his family are in mourning as well. let's join my colleague chi chi izundu, who's at the back of the queue in southwark park. people still arriving, i'll be thinking that they might be the last ones, now? , ., ones, now? indeed. they are hurriedly _ ones, now? indeed. they are hurriedly coming _ ones, now? indeed. they are hurriedly coming along - ones, now? indeed. they are hurriedly coming along the i ones, now? indeed. they are - hurriedly coming along the pavement just from the tube station behind me, because they do believe that they will be the last lot of people allowed access to join the queue, because the department for culture, media and sport are urging people not to come, not to set off from home and join the end of the queue. they are now saying it is taking about 11.5 hours to go through from here in southwark park to get to you, but that is still a very long time, and let's not forget that this is supposed to end tomorrow morning

at 6:30am. we see a number of people rushing towards the gates here, add southwark park, from the tube station, because from the gates here it is still about 100 yards to the start of the gate. i5 it is still about 100 yards to the start of the gate.— it is still about 100 yards to the start of the gate. is everybody who “oins the start of the gate. is everybody who joins the queue _ start of the gate. is everybody who joins the queue allowed _ start of the gate. is everybody who joins the queue allowed to - start of the gate. is everybody who l joins the queue allowed to complete it? they will not have people joining the queue who will be told half way along, they will not be able to see the queen? irate half way along, they will not be able to see the queen? we have not been told that _ able to see the queen? we have not been told that information. - able to see the queen? we have not been told that information. we - able to see the queen? we have not been told that information. we are l been told that information. we are hoping that everyone can make it for the cut—off point of 6:30am, but we have seen that a number of people with wheelchair access and using walking canes are using this queue, because yesterday the accessibility queue for disabled people was closed permanently at four 30 pm. it is a

tiring and exhausting, long walk. it is only five miles, but it is long, and it does snake around a number of monuments and tourist spots of london before we get to where you are. it does take a while, and not everyone may be able to make it on time. film everyone may be able to make it on time. ., everyone may be able to make it on time. . ., ., , ., time. oh dear, that would be hard, if ou time. oh dear, that would be hard, if you joined _ time. oh dear, that would be hard, if you joined the — time. oh dear, that would be hard, if you joined the queue, _ time. oh dear, that would be hard, if you joined the queue, did - time. oh dear, that would be hard, if you joined the queue, did a - time. oh dear, that would be hard, if you joined the queue, did a lot i if you joined the queue, did a lot of queueing and then were not able to get into westminster hall. this queueis to get into westminster hall. this queue is going to be remembered in history, it has become almost a mythical thing in and of itself. what do people tell you about being part of it? what do people tell you about being art of it? ., , , what do people tell you about being art of it? .,, , ., , part of it? people tell us that they want to be part — part of it? people tell us that they want to be part of _ part of it? people tell us that they want to be part of this _ part of it? people tell us that they want to be part of this historic - want to be part of this historic moment, because it is a moment in history, and it is a moment in history, and it is a moment in history that is a once—in—a—lifetime, once in a

generation moment that they want to be part of. yes, they want to see the queen lying in state, but we have been reporting for days now about the friendships that have been made with total strangers, the communication, the laughter, the support that people are giving each other as they walked slowly but surely towards westminster, and to something of an experience in itself, ratherthanjust something of an experience in itself, rather than just going to see the queen lying in state. people are really happy to take part in this, even though it is arduous and exhausting and tiring for a lot of people. it is an experience, or as one person described to me, and adventure that they want to be part of, and remember and tell their own children, grandchildren, future generations, that they took part in this one moment in history.- this one moment in history. thank ou ve this one moment in history. thank you very much- — this one moment in history. thank you very much. you _ this one moment in history. thank you very much. you are _ this one moment in history. thank you very much. you are exactly i you very much. you are exactly right, by the time people get to hear, they are tired. they have done it 11 or 12 hours of walking, and

they say their feet hurt and they got cold overnight, but i've not spoken to a single person who has done that queue that wishes they had done that queue that wishes they had done anything else or spent their time in any other way. i interviewed one person who showed up in a morning coat because he had left a wedding yesterday, joined the queue, and stayed overnight. we spoke to some people from houston, and somewhere in that queue, possibly right at the back of it, is my husband. what happen tomorrow. the queen's lying—in—state will end at 6.30 bst tomorrow morning. then the coffin will be moved from westminster hall a short distance away, to westminster abbey, where her state funeral service will be held. that is at 11am, london time. the royal navy's state gun carriage, seen here rehearsing, will bear the coffin, drawn by 142 sailors. senior members of the royal family, including the new king and his sons,

prince william and prince harry, will walkjust behind in the procession. at 11 o'clock bst, the queen's funeral, expected to be attended by 2,000 guests, will begin, with the service lead by the very reverend dr david hoyle. that is all of the events tomorrow, and we'll bring you all of them as they happen. richard williams, former welsh guard and pall bearer at princess diana's funeral, joins us now. thank you very much forjoining us. it was not a state funeral when princess diana died, but there was a huge outpouring. tell us a little bit about your experience with that funeral, and what he might expect tomorrow? ., funeral, and what he might expect tomorrow?— funeral, and what he might expect tomorrow? ., . ., ,, tomorrow? good afternoon, and thank ou for tomorrow? good afternoon, and thank you for having — tomorrow? good afternoon, and thank you for having me. _ tomorrow? good afternoon, and thank you for having me. i _ tomorrow? good afternoon, and thank you for having me. ithink— tomorrow? good afternoon, and thank you for having me. i think tomorrow. you for having me. i think tomorrow will eclipse any royal funeral we have seen for some time. i guess, diana, princess of wales's was may

be on a comparable scale. i think for those taking part, the concerns and challenges, certainly from the service men and women, will be exactly the same. wanting to do a good job for the nation, wanting to do a good job for the bass, and perhaps most importantly, wanting to do a good job for the royal family, because it is, despite the fact that it takes place so ostensibly in public, it is a private family funeral at the end of the day. for me, the memories that i take away from it, this clash of public and private, of the very formal and the very personal elements of it, both of those taking part, but obviously for the royal family. you of those taking part, but obviously for the royal family.— for the royal family. you were a pallbearer _ for the royal family. you were a pallbearer at _ for the royal family. you were a pallbearer at princess _

for the royal family. you were a pallbearer at princess diana's i pallbearer at princess diana's funeral, what did your message be to the pallbearers tomorrow? in funeral, what did your message be to the pallbearers tomorrow?— the pallbearers tomorrow? in terms ofthe the pallbearers tomorrow? in terms of the occasion, _ the pallbearers tomorrow? in terms of the occasion, i _ the pallbearers tomorrow? in terms of the occasion, i would _ the pallbearers tomorrow? in terms of the occasion, i would say, - the pallbearers tomorrow? in terms of the occasion, i would say, hold i of the occasion, i would say, hold fast. it does feel like the eyes of the world are all new, but in the ethos of the british army, we do this stuff for the sovereign, and especially as a guardsman that is obviously important. we also do it for each other. making sure that you look out for each other and help each other, and carrying that coffin, it is really heavy, and carrying it up the steps of westminster abbey and across the slippery marble floor is quite a physical challenge, so i'm sure they are well rehearsed, well—prepared, and all of my best wishes go with them, and i am absolutely sure the

guys from the queen's company will do a greatjob. it is guys from the queen's company will do a great job-— do a great job. it is not a festive atmosphere. — do a great job. it is not a festive atmosphere, but _ do a great job. it is not a festive atmosphere, but people - do a great job. it is not a festive atmosphere, but people are i do a great job. it is not a festive i atmosphere, but people are chatting, they are laughing, they are happy to be here, and people who have left westminster hall tell me it is absolutely silent, you could hear a pin drop. what would you expect tomorrow in westminster abbey? what are you listening for?— are you listening for? there is no ruestion are you listening for? there is no question that _ are you listening for? there is no question that the _ are you listening for? there is no question that the respect - are you listening for? there is no question that the respect will i are you listening for? there is no question that the respect will be | question that the respect will be there and will be honoured. i think we will see something not dissimilar to that which we had with diana, there will probably be emotional crowds, i'm sure the odd round of applause, perhaps the odd person crying, but inside of the abbey, i think the service will very much

reflects the person for whom the funeral is set. perhaps a little more restrained, definitely very reverent, and one of the things that stuck with me, and has done since, wasjust the only stuck with me, and has done since, was just the only sound we could hear taking the princess of wales's coffin to the kata felt, was this week of our boots on the floor. the entire abbey was absolutely silent, and i anticipate it will be just the same tomorrow. the and i anticipate it will be “ust the same tomorrow.i and i anticipate it will be “ust the same tomorrow. ., , ,., , same tomorrow. the only sound is the sound of this — same tomorrow. the only sound is the sound of this week _ same tomorrow. the only sound is the sound of this week of _ same tomorrow. the only sound is the sound of this week of the _ same tomorrow. the only sound is the sound of this week of the boots. i sound of this week of the boots. thank you very much forjoining us with those memories, and, of course, everyone will be watching tomorrow, and listening for those moments of silence. it will be a very different day, and a very different atmosphere from the one in the queue at the moment.

back to you, i'm sure i will be here with more from the queue, as it will not stop for another 16 hours or so. studio: remember, there is the website for... four million people injapan have been urged to leave their homes as the country prepares for one of the most destructive typhoons in years. winds of more than 90 miles per hour have been battering the coast, and at least 25,000 properties are already without power. our tokyo correspondent, rupert wingfield—hayes, reports. this typhoon is a huge and angry storm, the like of which japan has rarely if ever experienced before.

it is hundreds of miles across and close to its centre of the winds are gusting to over 150 mph. as it swept ashore this morning, the government issued an emergency alert, one which has never been declared before anywhere on the japanese mainland. translation: there is a chance we will see winds of a kind i we haven't experienced before. we could also get big swells, storm surges and record rain. only part of the threat. it is also carrying vast quantities of water, and that is now falling right across the eastern half of the area. as much as half a metre of rain could fall in less than 2a hours. this area is very mountainous and the danger will then be of landslides and even more so of flooding. there is too much water coming down for the rivers to handle, so the japanese government has told nearly three million people they need to leave their homes and head to local evacuation centres. this morning, thousands began to heed that advice,

but hundreds of thousands more will likely choose to ignore that advice and ride out the storm at home. it will be a very tense night for them and for the authorities. river levels across the area and southern honshu are expected to peak sometime in the next 12 hours, putting japan's flood defences under severe strain. it would only take one breach for towns to be inundated in minute, giving people no time to escape. japan is used to typhoons, but the storms are getting bigger and more frequent, and defences that worked in the past may not be enough for monster storms like this. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, tokyo. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky says investigations into possible russian war crimes are continuing

in the city of izyum, which was recently retaken from russian forces. bodies are being exhumed from a mass grave on the edge of the city. izyum is one of several areas back in ukrainian hands after significant territorial gains in recent days — although heavy fighting is still continuing. our correspondent hugo bachega in kyiv has the latest. so ross, officials have returned to this pine forest outside izyum. they are opening those graves, reopening those graves and recovering those bodies. they say they found more than a50 graves. and so far, they've managed to recover 59 bodies. they say that the majority of those bodies are of civilians, but they also include 17 ukrainian soldiers. we don't know how they died. the ukrainians are determined to find out what happened and it is going to be a very long investigation. now, last night, president zelensky

said there was new evidence of torture that had been carried out by russian forces in ism. of torture that had been carried out by russian forces in izyum. he didn't provide details. izyum was invaded by russia in the early days of the war and was liberated by ukrainian forces earlier this week. and also yesterday, there was a call from the eu presidency for the creation of an international tribunal to investigate possible war crimes committed by russia. this was a call from the czech republic, which is now the holding the rotating presidency of the european union. that's a possible route the european union could take in the long term. but in the short term, as this very difficult and upsetting work continues in izyum, are the ukrainians doing that on their own or are they receiving international assistance?

i think the ukrainians are going to welcome a team of un experts that have been invited to go to izyum to help to monitor what's happening there. and dozens of war crimes investigators and other experts have now been working there in this pine forest in izyum. the ukrainians are treating it as a war crimes investigation. they say there is evidence that the russians have committed war crimes. they say that the first bodies that have been exhumed from from those graves show signs of torture. and also last night, president zelensky said there was more evidence that torture had been carried out by russian forces elsewhere in the kharkiv region, in towns and villages that have been liberated. he talked about ten torture centres that had been found and prosecutors there released pictures of a room that they said russian forces had used to carry out torture. there was a device that was being used, according to them, to give electric shocks. so there's a very long and difficult road ahead for these investigators

to try to establish the truth and and establish what happened during the russian occupation in those places that have been liberated by ukrainian forces. senior leaders have called for calm after days of violent anti—government protests in haiti. un secretary general antonio guterres is "deeply concerned" about the unrest, which has said to have brought the country to a standstill. emily brown reports. after days of unrest in the capital of haiti, leaders call for calm. violent anti—government protests. demonstrators demanding the prime minister to resign after hikes in fuel prices and inflation rising to its highest level in a decade. the country is faced with chronic gang violence. earlier this week, two journalists

were shot dead and their bodies set on fire. but these demonstrations have been met with water shortages. thousands are said to be affected after the protests have virtually halted distribution. and with the first big storm of the season approaching, there's a huge sense of worry in an already reeling country. translation: because of the blockades it — translation: because of the blockades it has _ translation: because of the blockades it has been - translation: because of the blockades it has been two, i translation: because of the | blockades it has been two, three days. i live in fort national since there are blockades in the country. we came here to buy water. if it was not for these places, we would die from thirst. many are taking advantage of a brief truce to rush to distribution centres in the hope of stockpiling water supply. it's not known for how long this will last. the haitian government didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

for now, some are desperately taking shelter from a threatening storm, both on the ground and in the air. emily brown, bbc news. as we continue to cover this period of national mourning in the uk, we have a correspond near the beginning of the carriage to see queen elizabeth lying in state and rebecca jones is at buckingham palace. katty kay is just adjacent to the palace of west mr four. the people we can see behind you have already put in quite a few hours, haven't they? quite a few long, cold hours. you're right, these peoplejoined the carriage in the middle of the night. —— joined the queue in the middle of the night. let's go to my colleague rebecca jones at buckingham palace because rebecca, lot of the attention date shifts to buckingham palace. ~ , ,., ,
