introduced to. they were puppies and quite excitable, it is better to say. the pressure is on for them to be on their best behaviour. it was also a special moment for the volunteers as the royal couple came through to meet the volunteers and their dogs. they were also put through their paces and had to take part in a training session for the puppies. something we can all appreciate is learning to do things on command without the allure of food. that is something the puppies were doing here today. they had to try to get to a very tempting looking cardboard cutout of a london bus displaying all sorts of treats, without getting to the treats and bowling into the bus knocking it over. they did it successfully. and edward was with one of those dogs as well. i'mjoined by edward was with one of those dogs as well. i'm joined by one of the volunteers and his dog holly. who is on her best behaviour at the moment. she is wearing her union flag bandanna. it was the start of the show, wasn't it mark? you were in

distractions include a big camera there as well. apologise for the dropout on the line there. the coronation has also drawn attention to policing here in london. dozens of demonstrators were arrested — including members of republic, an anti—monarchy group. we know that the metropolitan police made 64 arrests on saturday. out of those, four have been charged — the rest have been bailed. scotland yard said their officers had acted proportionately. graham smith is the ceo of republic — he was one of those arrested on saturday. we intended to be in large numbers on trafalgar square near the procession route, as well as having smaller groups along the procession route and we were very clear about that with the met over the last four months and they repeatedly said right up until friday that they had no concerns about our protest plans, they were well aware of what we were going to do and they would engage with us and not obstruct us. they repeatedly lied about their intentions and i believe

they had every intention of arresting us prior to doing so. earlier i spoke to yasmine ahmed — she's the uk director of human rights watch, and i began by asking her about her view on the arrests. there is an absolutely fundamental right to have peaceful protest. what we saw, and what we are concerned about at human rights watch, and certainly across civil society and in the united kingdom is that the very right is being quashed. we know that that is not only in relation to the incidents that we saw yesterday, but it is very likely to continue, and we are very very concerned about that. ., ., ., ., that. scotland yard have defended their actions. _ that. scotland yard have defended their actions, saying _ that. scotland yard have defended their actions, saying tactics - that. scotland yard have defended their actions, saying tactics were l their actions, saying tactics were proportionate, and they had intelligence that groups were determined to disrupt the occasion. the very idea of peacefully protesting is the idea that you will be heard, that you have a right to peacefully say what you think. whether that is that you don't agree with the monarchy, whether that was in the past, that you think women have the right to vote, or whether

thatis have the right to vote, or whether that is the idea that you think workers should be paid a minimum wage, these are all things that people have a right to say and protest about. the very idea of protest about. the very idea of protest is to be able to speak truth to power, and to be able to hold power to accounts. certainly, to power, and to be able to hold powerto accounts. certainly, it to power, and to be able to hold power to accounts. certainly, it is right that the police have a right to be able to restrict protest in certain circumstances. but that threshold is very high. it is when there may be serious public disorder. what we saw on the streets yesterday and the day before was certainly not serious public disorder. certainly not serious public disorder-— certainly not serious public disorder. ~ _ , disorder. the met says their intelligence _ disorder. the met says their intelligence indicated - disorder. the met says their intelligence indicated they l disorder. the met says their - intelligence indicated they could have been serious public disorder, saying they had intelligence that there were people planning to use rape alarms to disrupt the coronation procession by scaring military horses, which could have caused significant risk to the safety of the public and the riders. what we know is that the uk government have rushed through laws. they had a law put through last year, and a lord that has just gone

through this year, and just prior to this, which is severely restricting the right to protest. so in this given situation, the police and the home secretary have an obligation to ensure that people have a right and are able to peacefully protest. what we know, against this background is that this is notjust something that has happened out of the blue. this is in light of the fact the uk government have passed laws, this now mean that your ability to protest and speak truth to power, and hold power to account, is now being severely limited popping such as if you make too much noise, or if, for example, if police determine this may cause too much disruption, and there are no proper definition is being provided. what we have done, was the government has done, is to allow the police to have absolute discretion in relation to when we can speak and when we can't. the very idea that the suffragettes would not have been able to protest in the way they did, it really

structure of the army was collapsing out. there is no way to verify that, and etiquette with a pinch of salt, because both sides have been making claims and accusations against each other since the conflict started. it does give you an inch occasion to what the attitude is about the conflict itself. this feeling that they both feel they can still win militarily. they both feel they can still win militaril . ., , they both feel they can still win militaril . . , , militarily. ceasefire is increasingly _ militarily. ceasefire is increasingly urgent i militarily. ceasefire is l increasingly urgent with militarily. ceasefire is - increasingly urgent with the humanitarian crisis across the country rapidly escalating. yes. the [on . er the country rapidly escalating. yes. the longer the complex _ country rapidly escalating. yes. the longer the complex continues, - country rapidly escalating. yes. the longer the complex continues, the l longer the complex continues, the worse it gets in terms of supplies. so, humanitarian supplies haven't been able to get through, because of security reasons. they're not protected. some of the convoys had been looted. that is a big problem, which is what they are trying to resolve in jeddah. which is what they are trying to resolve injeddah. also, the residents of khartoum are saying that the looting itself thereby criminal gangs, and also the rsf forces have been seen looting banks, thatis forces have been seen looting banks, that is also beginning to affect the

supplies. there is a sort of worrying signs of anarchy on the streets of khartoum, on top of the battle going on between these two generals, so the situation there is deteriorating. you have then had that exodus of foreigners and dual nationals, but you have also had many internally displaced people, and many sudanese who have left the country, who held trying to leave the country and had created this new urgency, or new needs to deal with their issues. you have, for example, quite a few self sudanese who have gathered and less khartoum gathering at the border, to try to leave south sudan, and the issue of how to get them back, and that is just a small part of it, so as the complexing continues and solutions are not found, these things grow worse. around the world, and across the uk, this is bbc news. ladies, come over to me. this is a coach here as
