good moo heads of state, aristocrats, diplomats, politicians and the rest of it in there, as well. this is the first time that you have had female clergy in a coronation, ever. we have been having coronation is at westminster abbey since 1066. that says something. will it bridge the divide? i'm not sure. some people might see it as tokenism. but it was good that you saw all of these different types of people from all walks of life included. what different types of people from all walks of life included.— different types of people from all walks of life included. what do you think the biggest _ walks of life included. what do you think the biggest challenge - walks of life included. what do you think the biggest challenge is - think the biggest challenge is walking charles when he wakes up tomorrow and looks ahead, now that this weekend is over, what should be top priority for him? you this weekend is over, what should be top priority for him?— top priority for him? you want to strengthen _ top priority for him? you want to strengthen the _ top priority for him? you want to strengthen the realms _ top priority for him? you want to strengthen the realms of- top priority for him? you want to strengthen the realms of the - strengthen the realms of the commonwealth but unfortunately that is going to go the other way. you have got countries within the realms thinking about removing charles as head of state, jamaica, belize, countries like that, island nations, and that is going to happen, that is and that is going to happen, that is a surety, so he has to navigate that
8:13 pm
effectively as you have the commonwealth of 66 countries, different from the realms, and he has to make sure that the commonwealth remains strong, or else the monarchy and the royal family lose that. they need empire lite to stay relevant and the commonwealth is that, it is all of these countries with head of state, the monarchy at the top, it is supposed to be about friendship and trade but for the royal family, it is also about power. irate for the royal family, it is also about power-— for the royal family, it is also about power. we will be across everything _ about power. we will be across everything that _ about power. we will be across everything that is _ about power. we will be across everything that is happening i about power. we will be across i everything that is happening here this evening. the concert getting under way, all of the crowds, but for now, back to the studio. t am for now, back to the studio. i am lovin: for now, back to the studio. i am loving the _ for now, back to the studio. i am loving the matching _ for now, back to the studio. i am loving the matching colour - for now, back to the studio. t —n loving the matching colour scheme from you and your guest, afua hagan. thank you. the head of an anti—monarchy group
8:14 pm
who was arrested before a planned protest on coronation day has called his detention, and that of dozens of others, a �*direct attack on our democracy�*. graham smith, who was released on saturday night after nearly 16 hours in police custody, said officers should hang their heads in shame. the culture secretary, lucy frazer, has backed the metropolitan police, following criticism of the arrest of more than 50 people yesterday. robin brant reports. chanting: not my king! not my king! _ as tens of thousands celebrated and cheered yesterday, some protested and booed. but before it got to that, anti—monarchy campaigners had already been targeted by police. some were arrested, their placards confiscated. graham smith from the group republic was one of them. they were hoping to stop us from staging a large peaceful protest on the edge of the coronation. i think that that was a spectacularly poor decision for all sorts of reasons, not least because there were no grounds for arresting us. and it is an affront to democracy and an attack on our rights. 52 people in all were taken in. some, like mr smith,
8:15 pm
under a controversial new law, the public order act. it gives police new powers to proactively target people they think are planning to disrupt. but using those powers was justified according to a cabinet minister. they will have made operational decisions on a case—by—case basis as to what steps they should have taken. and i know that they took into account, and i think they were quite right to take into account, the context of the event as a whole. we were on the global stage. there were 200 foreign dignitaries in the uk, in london, at an event. the commissioner of london's met police was out with a distinctly peaceful bunch for lunch today. his force said its focus yesterday wasn't protesters but potential disruptors. it said it had received intelligence about plans to deface monuments or disrupt the coronation procession. labour wants more of an explanation, though. people can disagree, and disagree well, i hope. i think it is for the met to explain the arrests—
8:16 pm
and make sure they got the balance right. and as we've seen, if they didn't get it right, you know, i think the casey review demonstrates it's important to hold your hands up. obviously no—one . likes to be arrested! the senior officer in charge of the security operation said the context of these arrests was key. democracy not monarchy! but with a former chief constable warning about the spectre of a totalitarian police state, the met�*s now fending off claims it acted like counterparts in moscow. robin brant, bbc news. seven people have been killed after a car ran into pedestrians in the city of brownsville, on the mexican border in texas. a male suspect is in custody. the city's police department said the crash occurred at 8:30am local time near ozanam centre, a shelterfor migrants and the homeless. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy is in the newsroom with more.

8:23 pm
and potentially dangerous and called for immediate action to prevent the threat of a severe nuclear accident. i got the latest from professor michael fitzpatrick, a nuclear energy expert who teaches at coventry university. firstly, it's worthwhile reiterating that the zaporizhzhia plant has been shut down for nearly ten months. so the likelihood of an extremely severe incident, with significant release of radioactivity, is now much lower than it would have been a year ago. so that is the good news. but the iaea have repeatedly asked for intervention to ensure that the plant is well away from any conflict zone. and it isn't. there's continued, as we've heard, to be shelling near the plant and that's what the concern is, that there could be an incident where you have a shell strike on the plant that breaches some form of containment
8:24 pm
and you end up with a local release of radioactivity. rehearsals are well under way in liverpool for the eurovision song contest. the city is hosting the event on behalf of last year's winners, ukraine. and this year's eurovision entrants have been taking part in a welcome ceremony at st george's hall in liverpool. this is loreen from sweden arriving. loreen won in 2012 and she's back in the competition as one of the favourites with her song, tattoo. but, of course, otheracts like france, spain or finland are also tipped to do well. this is the finnish singer kariija. his song cha cha cha has been going down a storm with live audiences. 0ur eurovision reporter daniel rosney has been following eurovision's opening ceremony from liverpool. this is the official opening ceremony of this year's eurovision song contest. i'm sandwiched in between slovenia to my right and cyprus to my left. all 37 acts from the 37 countries that are participating have now arrived in liverpool. they are walking this red carpet,
8:25 pm
which is actually turquoise for sponsorship reasons. but it is only one of a number of events that are happening this evening in liverpool. there will be a concert happening in front of the iconic st george's hall, where the original line—up of frankie goes to hollywood, including hollyjohnson, will be performing together for the first time since 1987. and around the same time, a simultaneous rave will take place, and that's from liverpool to kyiv, because we need to remember that liverpool is hosting this year's competition on behalf of last year's winners, ukraine. this year's acts have actually just arrived on the carpet and there are load of events across the week that will be linking liverpool and ukraine. this year's slogan is united by music. so throughout the events that we will see outside of the arena but also inside will be linking up the two countries. the revision next week. and of
8:26 pm
