1:00 pm
today at one... we're live in edinburgh, on a day of royal celebrations, as scotland greets the new king. with full military honours and pageantry, the king will be presented with the crown jewels of scotland, to mark his coronation. it's an echo of the events of 70 years ago, when the young queen elizabeth was presented with the ancient crown of scotland. we'll be looking ahead to the afternoon's ceremony. the first processions get under way within the next half—hour. and the other main stories on the programme this lunchtime... rail companies are to press ahead with plans to close almost all their ticket offices in england. and the national health service celebrates its 75th birthday with a service at westminster abbey. and coming up on bbc news...
1:01 pm
england name their team for the third ashes test, making three changes, including resting jimmy anderson, for the crucial clash at headingley. good afternoon from the heart of edinburgh. we're at the cathedral of st giles on the famous royal mile, where in a short while, a grand procession and ceremony will take place, formal recognition here in scotland of the king's coronation. today's events are steeped in history, but they are not without controversy, in a country where the debate about independence is ever present. you may be able to hear some of the protest is just further along the
1:02 pm
royal mile taking right now. the debate about scotland because my future and independence are very light issues. there are plenty of people here celebrating the presence of the king but people are to seeing that charles is not working. the day is interesting in the sense of the political perspective but we are looking today at the grand ceremony, the pageantry,. —— not their king. there will be 700 members of the armed forces in today's processions. they will begin in a short while from edinburgh castle and then during the service at the cathedral the king will be presented with the honours of scotland, the crown jewels of scotland, the ancient crown of scotland dating back to 1540. the oldest set of crown jewels in the united kingdom. that is all to come. graham satchell our correspondent looks at all the preparations. crowds gathering on the royal mile in edinburgh, ready
1:03 pm
for this afternoon's service of dedication. what do you think of king charles? i'm in love with him. ijust love him, as i do all the royals. why do you love him? because he's our monarch. he's our monarch. king charles and queen camilla have been at a series of events in edinburgh this week. the king has a long standing, deep affection for scotland. the service is intended to cement that relationship. now the scottish crown is offered to the queen... 1953 and the last time there was a service like this, queen elizabeth presented with the scottish crownjewels. we will see exactly the same ceremony today. the service here at st giles is not a coronation, we've already had that, of course, at westminster abbey. but it is a moment for the people of scotland to mark the new reign of king charles and queen camilla, and for the monarchy itself to recognise the importance of scotland within the united kingdom. not my king!
1:04 pm
but it's not for everyone. there are protests on the royal mile by the group republic. polls suggest the monarchy is less popular in scotland than the rest of the uk. i'm here today because i fundamentally believe that the monarchy is an outdated institution that has no place in a modern democracy. final rehearsals for the ceremony show there will be plenty of pageantry. the magnificent greys of the royal scots dragoon guards will lead the people's procession. a small vignette that is not by not by contrivances, the horse on parade on the day will be monarch, regent, prince and duke. the service in st giles will be full of music, including this medley of traditional scottish tunes from the ayoob sisters. it's a huge honour to be performing at the service. we know his majesty is a cellist, a keen musician.
1:05 pm
so for us to contribute the way that we love with music, and music being the forefront of the celebration is such a deep honour. scotland does have a complex relationship with the monarchy. many may view the service this afternoon with benign indifference. graham satchell, bbc news, edinburgh. not long to go before the afternoon's processions get under way. before we have a quick chat with our scotland editorjames kirk i would like to take you through the timings so that we know what to expect. —— james kirk. at 1.15pm the people's procession representing aspects of scottish life, including charities, sets off from edinburgh castle. at 1.40pm the honours of scotland leave edinburgh castle under military escort. at the same time the military pipes and drums and the household cavalry mounted regiment move
1:06 pm
from the palace of holyroodhouse. that is the other end of the royal mile. at 2.05pm the royal procession leaves the palace of holyroodhouse, arrriving at the cathedral five minutes later. the national service of thanksgiving and dedication begins at 2.15pm and lasts an hour. at 3.20pm there's be a 21—gun salute from edinburgh castle. at 3.40pm the raf fly—past down the royal mile from edinburgh castle to palace of holyroodhouse. that will be quite a sight to behold. lots of people are looking forward to that. 0ur scotland editor james cook is with me. what i would like to ask you is where does this event today in all of its grandeur and pageantry sit in
1:07 pm
today's scotland? it is of its grandeur and pageantry sit in today's scotland?— today's scotland? it is such a good auestion today's scotland? it is such a good question because _ today's scotland? it is such a good question because as _ today's scotland? it is such a good question because as we _ today's scotland? it is such a good question because as we can - today's scotland? it is such a good question because as we can see, l today's scotland? it is such a good i question because as we can see, and we can see right now, on the street behind me, there is objection here, complaint, protest, notjustabout the monarchy although that is what these protesters on the royal mile are complaining about, both about the cost of this event and the very nature of the constitution of the united kingdom itself, arguing for songs at least an elected head of state, but there is also as you no considerable debate about the constitutional future of scotland in political terms. independence may have receded slightly in terms of the travails the snp are going through in terms of the prospect of a referendum any time soon, but support for independence according to most polls still remains pretty high, just under 50% in scotland, so these are very live active issues, and that makes this ceremony a tightrope for the royal family, and that makes this ceremony a tightrope for the royalfamily, king charles himself, to try to reflect
1:08 pm
the ancient nature of scotland as a kingdom, but not turning this into a second coronation and ensuring that this is not in fact referencing scotland as a kingdom because since the act of union in 1707 it isn't. james, we will talk again later and we see how these things develop today, but thank you, james cook our scotland editor. the procession is beginning within the next 15 minutes. then we will pull the events during the afternoon and we will have more for you at 6pm. for now, then, back to you in the studio. studio: thank you. train companies are pressing ahead with plans to close almost all their ticket offices in stations across england. trade unions and charities representing blind people have reacted angrily to the proposals. but rail companies say only 12% of tickets are now bought over the counter. our transport correspondent katy austin reports from reading station.
1:09 pm
at the moment, about 1000 railway stations around england that are managed by the train companies have a ticket office. now, those operators are under pressure from the government to cut costs and introduce changes that are seen as modernising. the industry says the way people buy tickets has been changing, more bought on phones, online or at machines, and they say only about 12% are now purchased at those kiosks at the stations. now, today, they've announced they'll be consulting passengers and staff about changes that will see most of those ticket offices close. here's what some passengers at three bridges station in sussex thought. i do normally use the self—service ones to buy my ticket, but there's plenty of times i've had to go and get a replacement ticket or something like that. or if i've ended up having my train cancelled or i need to get an interim ticket for somewhere else or a different route like that, it's so much easier to speak to a member of staff. yeah, to be honest, don't use it. so, yeah. i do it all onlinel on a flexi ticket. we do definitely need an in—person kind of ticket office. yeah, its importance is quite vital.
1:10 pm
for the sake ofjobs, we'd like to see, i'd like to see it stay open. the government and the train companies say this is just about changing how staff work, bringing them out from behind the glass to help support and advise passengers on station concourses. but some disability groups are worried these plans could make it harder for some people to get around on the rail network. and rail unions are strongly opposed to the plans, including the rmt union, which fears they could lead to job losses. and they vowed to carry on campaigning against these proposals. katy austin reporting. several parliamentary staff at westminster have spoken to the bbc about inappropriate behaviour there over the last two years. among them is 25—year—old ellie varley, who has described how she was asked to sit on the lap of a male mp, who's since been suspended after separate allegations. she says she's angry about what she calls a "predatory culture" in the house of commons.
1:11 pm
newsnight�*s uk editor sima kotecha has this report. the house of commons is the heart of democracy. it's where laws are made and publicly elected officials represent their constituents, and should therefore uphold the highest standards of behaviour. but now more allegations of sexual misconduct have called into question the morals and ethics of some of them. this is a problem that transcends party politics. it transcends your position of power. it transcends your gender. this is something that everyone will have a story of. every staffer will know someone who has experienced this. ellie is one of six people we've spoken to who work or have worked in the commons until recently. all of them say little has changed since the metoo movement. they say there's a predatory culture, where some people in power think they can behave inappropriately. i wouldn't recommend it as a safe
1:12 pm
place for any young men or women. interesting, yes, but not a healthy place, especially to work for an mp directly. if a young person i knew really, really wanted to work at the house of commons, it would come with a whole list of warnings about how to stay safe. who not to hang with, where not to go. ellie says she was asked to sit on an mp�*s lap and felt she had no choice but to do so, to get him off her case. he just kept saying, "oh, just come sit on my lap." and i was like, "oh, i'm fine, thank you. i don't want to sit on your lap. i'm quite happy standing." and he was just so persistent that i thought, "i'm just going to sit on your lap because you're clearly not getting that i don't want to sit on your lap, and it's quite weird to ask." so i sat in his lap for what was probably a minute and then was like, "right, nice to see you. i'm off." and kind of you just brush it off. itjust becomes part of what comes with the job. the member of parliament is one of a number of mps to have been suspended after separate allegations.
1:13 pm
in 2018 parliament set up the independent complaints and grievance scheme to investigate complaints about sexual misconduct. but some feel the process is too slow. in a statement, the house of commons said, "the isgs is the first scheme of its kind in any parliament around the world, enabling unacceptable behaviour to be identified and appropriately dealt with. though much has been achieved, we know there is more work to be done. we remain committed to building a workplace where everyone feels safe and valued, and where lasting cultural change can be achieved." those we spoke to hope change is possible, where people in authority speak out against bad behaviour. however, most believe some in senior positions turn a blind eye instead. i regularly saw this, where they'd see it going on and pretend they hadn't. they'd do it for their own sake. an easy life. orjust because they wanted to use
1:14 pm
it against the other person. in my eyes, this is where the problem lies. because those who make an impact aren't speaking out. sima kotecha, bbc news, westminster. and sima kotecha's full report is on newsnight tonight at 10:30pm on bbc2. the national health service is celebrating its 75th anniversary today with a service at westminster abbey. but three leading think tanks are warning the nhs won't be around for its 100th birthday without significant investment and change. ellie price reports. asa as a birthday party go, it was a grand one. political leaders, royalty, and 1500 nhs staff. mil grand one. political leaders, royalty, and 1500 nhs staff. all of the radical conviction _ royalty, and 1500 nhs staff. all of the radical conviction that - royalty, and 1500 nhs staff. all of the radical conviction that we - royalty, and 1500 nhs staff. fill rrf the radical conviction that we must care for one another, the national health service sets before us all

1:20 pm
hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm paul scott at the bbc sport centre. here's what's coming up... we could be set for a record breaking day at wimbledon as organisers play catch—up, if only the rain would stop. england have made changes ahead of their crucial third ashes test, jimmy anderson is out. and united finally get their man. mason mount signs a five—year deal at old trafford. welcome along to the programme.
1:21 pm
we thought we might have some tennis to tell you about. away from wimbledon, it's a crucial period for both england's men and women cricketers as they reach a pivotal stage in their respective ashes series' against australia. england men have named their side for the third test, which starts tomorrow at headingley, knowing they have to win if they're to have any chance of winning the ashes. here is the team then. three changes from the side that lost at lord's. moeen ali, chris woakes and mark wood are all included. they replacejimmy anderson and josh tongue, who are rested, whilst ollie pope is out for the rest of the series after dislocating his right shoulder at lord's. the magical thing would be to win the game and keep the ashes alive to be honest. don't not what it is about headingley but you can look back at certain things which have happened here and i don't know why
1:22 pm
it seems to do that butjust, i don't know, the momentjust sort of happens and something happens. yes, so. we have got some very fond memories here as an england team, i'm sure supporters have got fond memories here are spectators as well. the western terrace is something else, it is like the hollies at edgbaston, the atmosphere when it gets going towards the end of the day is something else and when we are on top here, they get going with arsenal but even when things are not going our way they are always there with us and it's just an amazing atmosphere here at headingley. england women are in action this evening against australia, desperate for a win if they're to have any chances of saving their ashes series. australia hold a six—point advantage after winning the test match, worth four points and the first t20 at edgbaston. england now need to take nine points from a possible 10 in order to regain the ashes — starting with a t20 victory at the oval this evening.
