king is in residence and the lucky ones who were here a little earlier would have seen him drive down the mall to westminster abbey, where they went through a short dress rehearsal. and going through the final preparations ahead of the big event on saturday. you will see the seats are here, the amphitheatre has been set up for the veterans and nhs workers on saturday, so the stage is set really ahead of the big ceremony. of course it's a busy day for the royals. the king although he is in residence has been receiving guests this afternoon to let me show you a picture we have had. this is a man of the amazon tribes and he has flown here all the way from ecuador to present king charles with a headdress, a headdress of feathers that they have made. it is the highest honour they can bestow on the king, and it marks the commitment we are told the king has

made to the amazonian tribes and the rain forest. we will try and bring you that picture shortly but he has been meeting all sorts of indigenous leaders, including the king of the ashanti, he takes a huge interest on things in the commonwealth and many of those leaders flying in today to be part of the ceremony on saturday. let me show you some pictures as well of the prince and princess of wales who have also been on a book about today. they have been on the two, getting on at acton. here we are, this is him arriving in compton street in soho on his way to the dog and duck pub. showing his support for the hospitality industry which has been through a torrid time since the pandemic. but today they went in to meet the local customers, bit of an impromptu book about this and you can see plenty of people in soho were going about their business and quite shocked to see them there. while he was inside the pub, he

pulled a pint of king maker, a new beer the bread we have put on and in fact the first pie of kingmaker that has been poured, and then probably sat down for a pint of cider. so we don't really know what kingmaker tastes like but anyway there he was in soho earlier today. as we say, resplendent here in london. could not be better. for those who depend on the scenes to sell britain as a destination. i'm joined now by patricia yates, chief executive of visit britain. does not look lovely? does it not. these images _ does not look lovely? does it not. these images will _ does not look lovely? does it not. these images will be _ does not look lovely? does it not. these images will be seen - does not look lovely? does it not. these images will be seen by - these images will be seen by millions— these images will be seen by millions around the world over the next few days and of course at the start of _ next few days and of course at the start of the — next few days and of course at the start of the year and the start of a recovery— start of the year and the start of a recovery year, we want to set our history— recovery year, we want to set our history and — recovery year, we want to set our history and heritage come to life if you come — history and heritage come to life if you come to britain but you have to come _ you come to britain but you have to come to britain to experience it. if come to britain to experience it. if the biggest event that britain has staged since the funeral of winston churchill and we all saw the preparations on tuesday night. there were a few thousand soldiers and

quick tisteh _ my fiance, shaman derek, and the norwegian people, i guess, and everybody has decided that it's best for me to step down because of his views about things. but what i think has been amazing through this whole cycle has been the conversations we've all had through it all. from a very young age, i remember my mum and dad saying, the king and queen saying that, you know, that we we have to stick together. we have to talk things through, even if it's hard. we have to put all the cards on the table. we have to, because we are family, we have to, like, work things through. through all the turmoil, because there's been so many turmoils with me, you know, going a different or taking a different path than being a traditional royal. and this will run ahead _ of the coronation of king charles. if you were suddenly to send him wishes for his reign, _

and everybody, of course, is looking from the queenj who was so well— known and so loved. i remember my grandfather, king olav, he was such a loved king. my father, you know, feared going into that role after him because how could he fill his shoes? and i think that that's the whole point. you don't fill his shoes. so king charles will be a different monarch from queen elizabeth? i absolutely. you can't copy somebody else. it is noted that you mix with the kings, queens, prince is an princesses and i stay at home so i don't know what that is but we will gloss over that. what i have known is this is the only coronation that is this is the only coronation that is left in europe, so they have done away with much of the regalia and the ceremony in europe. do they look at this and do they wonder whether this is part of the magic because there is no doubt... even the french who did away with her will family, there is an immense fascination with there is an immense fascination with the british royal family.

yorkshire traditions, the hills, the ramblers and now apparently the alpacas. we started off with just a load of rescue animals, and then one day i saw a couple of alpacas for sale on facebook that had done trekking before and thought, "wow, we're in the best location for it, so why not have a go, see what happens? " making up the two—legged contingent of this caravan across baildon moore, students from bradford college. it's fun. it's nice exercise, and it's a good experience. yes, i was nervous because it was i wasn't around alpacas, - but now i've got used to him. he's lovely. the family firm who run the walks also take the animals into care homes. it's not hard to see why. the alpacas are instantly friendly company. it was only an hour's stroll, but that was plenty of time for these students, some of whom have their own challenges to face, making memories to last a lifetime. you're live with bbc news.

developing news over the last hour orso developing news over the last hour or so of the us. a jury in washington has found four members of the far—right group the proud boys guilty of seditious conspiracy for plotting the attack on the us capitol injanuary 2021. let's go live now to our washington correspondent nomia iqbal. what have we found out in the last hour? taste what have we found out in the last hour? ~ ., . ., what have we found out in the last hour? . . , . ., hour? we are still waiting for the rest of the _ hour? we are still waiting for the rest of the vertex _ hour? we are still waiting for the rest of the vertex to _ hour? we are still waiting for the rest of the vertex to come - hour? we are still waiting for the. rest of the vertex to come through but just to rest of the vertex to come through butjust to remind people about the proud boys, this is one of the most far right extreme groups in the us and the prosecutor said these men saw themselves as sort of foot soldiers for then—president donald trump. and they try to help him cling on the power when he clearly lost the election in 2020. people might remember during one of the presidential debates between then presidential debates between then

president donald trump and joe biden, mrtrump president donald trump and joe biden, mr trump have been asked to condemn the proud boys but instead he said stand back and stand by and it was quite an evening —— infamous moment during the debate. some of the proud boys so that is kind of a rallying cry. five men from the group were on trial for a0 weeks as i mentioned. four of them were found guilty as you pointed out there on seditious conspiracy and that is a really rare charge. it essentially means to reason and they tried to overturn democracy onjanuary means to reason and they tried to overturn democracy on january the 6th 2021. the four include the group's former leader enrique terrio. he had been kicked out of the group at that time so was not in washington and is a former fbi informant. he said he ordered men to carry out the attack they did and then took credit for

it. they were shown a social media post where he said make the mistake, we did this. there is no verdict yet for a fifth man, a former marine. instead there was no verdict for him but he was convicted of other serious crimes. all men were found guilty of obstructing congress on january the 6th and i think what the vertex to do so far is it strengthens the government's intention that will was notjust some people protest got out of control, that it was a preplanned attack on democracy. and bear in mind there are about 1000 more cases still yet to go to the courts, the department ofjustice is still pursuing many of the rioters that they wish they say broke the law. the proud boys lawyers argued in court there was only one person to blame for what happened that day and that was donald trump. they said that was donald trump. they said that his words, his anger, his motivation is what led to the attack. the department ofjustice has yet to decide whether or not to

charge mr trump with anything to do with january the 6th. ok. charge mr trump with anything to do with january the 6th.— with january the 6th. ok, thank you so much for— with january the 6th. ok, thank you so much for that. _ in russia, president vladimir putin has made his first tv appearance since an alleged attempt on his life. here he is in these pictures released by the kremlin in a routine meeting with economic development minister. russia claims ukraine was targeting putin in this drone atack on the kremlin on wednesday following orders from the united states. both kyiv and washington have denied any involvement. russia launched a series of air raids on kyiv overnight in apparent retaliation, but authorities say all the strikes were intercepted by air defences, which you can see working here. strikes were also reported in zaporizhzhia and odesa. meanwhile, president volodymyr zelensky has called for a fully fledged tribunal to hold russia accountable for its war of aggression against ukraine. he made the comments in a speech after visiting the international criminal court. it has symbolic importance,
