9:03 pm
dolls star, nicole sherzinger, who performed a number from the dolls star, nicole sherzinger, who performed a numberfrom the musical mulan, accompanied by the pianist, ??macr02. what is it like performing at an event like this? you have done so many huge things in your career, but performing for a king, celebrating his coronation, how does that feel? it's crazy, you know? evenjust coming, driving on the windsor castle grounds, ijust feel like today when driving up i was like, wow, _ i have performed in front of the pyramids, in so many exotic, iconic places. how many people can say that they have performed in front of a castle, the oldest castle in residency, right? windsor castle, and just seeing it as your backdrop is surreal. it isjust a real honour and i am just overjoyed. everyone back home in america's freaking out because you guys are more used to it. you drive on the way to work past buckingham palace, but we don't have this monarchy, like,
9:04 pm
in america, so it feels really special, and i_ feel like a princess up there, with the song that i am singing. what it is like when you get that call? what went through your head? yes, i would love to, it would be an honour. then they asked me to sing reflections from disney's mulan, and i have never sung that song before. and for me the song is everything so, i took a look at the lyrics and i thought i can really relate to this song. it really speaks to my heart and hopefully it will speak to king charles' heart and everyone out there. and of course, an incredible talent, lang lang, on the piano, there for, gosh, it must be two decades now. what has it been like rehearsing with him, getting to experience this with him? working with lang lang is such an honour. and it is so effortless. he is super easy, super chilled. _ he's such a professional. music runs through his veins, just like me, so it isjust
9:05 pm
like an exchange of breaths from when we are on stage together. it is effortless and easy and fun. duet between piano and voice, emblematic of what tonight has been all about, which is displaying things across the entire spectrum of arts and music. as well as those big names taking part, the likes of katy perry, take that, lionel richie, we saw wonderful collaboration between a group of bodies that have royal patronage, the royal ballet, the royal shakespeare company, the royal couege royal shakespeare company, the royal college of art, the royal opera chorus. these are things that the now king, then, prince of wales, used to love attending and enjoying. he has always been a huge supporter of the arts. even those big music names, katy perry, an ambassadorfor

9:11 pm
expect to see him add camilla travelling, and with the prince and princess of wales as well, they will want the realms and the commonwealth to be as long as possible but he will have to accept that a number of countries in the realms is going to get smaller. the countries in the realms is going to get smaller-— countries in the realms is going to get smaller. the ma'ority of people livin: in get smaller. the ma'ority of people living in the _ get smaller. the majority of people living in the commonwealth - get smaller. the majority of people living in the commonwealth now i get smaller. the majority of people | living in the commonwealth now are under the age of 30. what is he doing to reach out to them? let’s doing to reach out to them? let's not for: et doing to reach out to them? let's not forget that _ doing to reach out to them? let's not forget that that _ doing to reach out to them? let's not forget that that to _ doing to reach out to them? let's not forget that that to be - doing to reach out to them? let�*s not forget that that to be able to reach out to that audience, he has to be able to have younger advisers around him, generally —— generation x, y and z, those people around you to know how to appeal to the younger people because the monarchy and the royal family exists because of their people and unfortunately, i hate to say it and i say it with all due respect, the people supported queen elizabeth ii and king charles are not going to be around much longer, and william and catherine are
9:12 pm
younger but they are in their 40s so if you want to attract the 18—24 —year—old bracket you need to have those good people around you. the prince's trust was excellent and capturing the minds of young people and getting them into business. you need something like that. is passionate about the causes of young people are passionate about, when it comes to the environment, what else? there is a change back to are talking about swathes of young people across africa for instance, they want jobs people across africa for instance, they wantjobs and opportunities. perhaps you extend the prince's trust in that part of the world, countries like you said, it is a huge one. and also social media. people are using it but people are concerned about it. it has a huge effect on young people so maybe that could be something he gets involved in as well but he needs young minds around him to be able to let him know what young people are concerned about and what they are thinking about. it about and what they are thinking about. , ., ., , ., , about. it is going to be really interesting — about. it is going to be really interesting to _ about. it is going to be really interesting to see. _ about. it is going to be really interesting to see. thank- about. it is going to be reallyj
9:13 pm
interesting to see. thank you about. it is going to be really i interesting to see. thank you so much, afua. we have been told to expect some surprises at the concert. we are keeping across everything that is happening behind me inside the grounds of windsor castle. we will keep you right up to date, but now, back to anjana in the studio. we have had a statement from kermit the frog who said it is always a privilege to hop across the world's biggest pond! the head of an anti—monarchy group 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!
9:14 pm
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, 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.
9:15 pm
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 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!
9:16 pm
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. now it's time for a look at today's sport. arsenal have kept the premier league title race alive after they beat newcastle 2—0 to close to within one point of leaders manchester city. martin odegaard scored in the first half and a fabian schar own goal wrapped up the win. city have a game in hand on top of their one point lead, as the gunners continue to fight for a first league title in 19 years. newcastle's defeat stalls their charge towards champions league football next season as their lead over fifth—placed liverpool remains three points. you have to continue to win. we have done it for ten months. we have to keep winning every single day. the

hello there. it's been a fine and warm day today for many areas with just a few showers, mainly across eastern scotland and eastern england. now, the showers fade away this evening. overnight, many places will be dry, but rain and a stronger breeze will be pushing in from the west. and that will make for quite a cloudy and a damp bank holiday monday. here it is showing up clearly on the pressure charts. it will arrive across northern ireland certainly later on today into the evening. some of the rain will be quite heavy at times and eventually through the night it'll transfer towards central and western
9:57 pm
parts of britain. now, ahead of it, it'll stay dry. the showers that fade away through this evening will leave clear skies through the night and temperatures will dip into single digits in one or two of the chillier spots, but generally out west, temperatures will be rising as this rain moves in. so we could start off with some early brightness eastern england, east anglia, in the south—east, but it won't last. the rain will arrive here later in the morning, through the afternoon. skies brighten up for scotland and northern ireland, but some heavy showers will develop. could see some significant thunderstorms developing across northern ireland. so some torrential downpours in places. in the sunshine, where you get it, then the high teens, but for most, i think, the mid—teens where it's raining, cloudy and quite breezy. as we head through monday night, it looks like the rain will tend to push away into the north sea and leave a legacy of clouds and mist and murk. one or two showers continuing across scotland and temperatures range from around 9 to 12 degrees. so still quite mild for most of us. now, into tuesday, lighterwinds.
9:58 pm
you can see fewer isobars, but we have a couple of weather fronts. these will enhance the shower activity. so many places will start dry with some sunshine around. showers or long spells of rain will continue across northern and eastern scotland. a few showers peppering eastern parts of england and showers also get into northern ireland, south wales and south—west england. these spots most favoured for the showers. elsewhere, could stay dry altogether. in the sunshine, temperatures of 17, 18, maybe 19 degrees in the warmest spots. however, things do turn cooler as you move deeper into the week. low pressure always nearby, so it's going to remain unsettled. these low pressure systems also bringing some slightly fresher air to our shores as we push towards the end of the week. at the moment, friday could be the driest day of the working week, but sunshine and showers return for next weekend.
