tonight at ten... we're in edinburgh where the king has been presented with the crown jewels of scotland. on a day of grand ceremony in the heart of the capital, this was scotland's turn to recognise the king's coronation. in receiving this crown i so promised by god's help... in a service at the high kirk of edinburgh — the king was presented with the ancient honours of scotland — reflecting centuries of scottish history. chanting: not my king! not my king! but there was no shortage of dissenting voices with people protesting against the event and what it signified. also tonight... mourning the dead. thousands attend the funeral of palestinians killed during israel's military incursion,

into the west bank. we hearfrom one woman about what she describes as a "predatory culture" at the house of commons..... and another sporting protest byjust stop oil, newsnight at 10.30 — an exclusive investigation by newsnight into a predatory culture among male mps and senior staffers. we speak to six commons workers who tell us that sexual misconduct and inappropriate behaviour is commonplace. good evening from edinburgh where the king's coronation has been formally recognised in the capital of scotland with a grand procession, a fly—past by the royal air force and a service at st giles cathedral where the king was presented

with the honours of scotland, the ancient crown jewels of the scottish nation. the ceremony was steeped in tradition, reflecting the fact that scotland and england had separate monarchs until the union of the crowns in 1603. there were thousands of people on the streets today to greet the king, but the event was not without controversy with protests taking place against a background of debate about scotland's future. in a moment lorna gordon will be assessing public opinion on the monarchy in today's scotland but first our scotland editorjames cook reports on the day's events. present royal salute! for charles and camilla, the journey is onlyjust beginning.

for 500 years, monarchs have paraded up the royal mile. in 1953, queen elizabeth toured edinburgh in an open carriage. but her son inherits a kingdom divided as he could surely hear on arriving at st giles�* cathedral. not my king, not my king! but inside tranquility reigned in english, in scots and in gaelic. she sings in gaelic. blessed be pure men in spirit for the kingdom of heaveness is theirs. blessed be mild men, for they shall well be �*eart. in other words, the meek shall inherit the earth. in the meantime, scotland is debating its place in the material world. in humza yousaf it has a first minister who is both nationalist and republican.

in her sermon, the minister carefully picked her way through the politics. your majesties, look around you. sisters and brothers, look around you at this beautiful tapestry of humanity. scotland. what we learn when we listen to one another, listen to understand, notjust respond, is extraordinary. sisters and brothers look around you. we are one global neighbourhood, intricately interrelated and completely co—dependent, woven together like a tartan. by the symbol of this sceptre... and then came the heart of the ceremony, the presentation of scotland's crown jewels. in receiving this sceptre, i so promise by god's help.

congregation sings. last autumn, this golden crown, first worn in 15110 byjames v of scotland, lay on top of queen elizabeth's coffin in this very church. now it was offered to her son and heir, the king. by the symbol of this crown we pledge our loyalty, in trusting that you reign as our king in the service of all your people. in receiving this crown i so promise by god's help. as the service drew to a close, a move typical of charles, a role for followers of other faiths and of none. lord almighty, we beseech you with your favour to behold to the most gracious majesties, king charles and queen camilla. we unite with people of all faiths and beliefs in thanksgiving and in service

with you for the common good. we affirm anew that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. and then one final flourish. the stone of destiny, an lia fail, is an ancient symbol of scottish sovereignty. there were more cheers and jeers as the king left st giles to return to the palace of holyroodhouse for one final treat. the red arrows trailing notjust the blue of scotland's saltire. but all the colors of the union flag. james cook, bbc news, edinburgh. as we mentioned, there were crowds of people lining the royal mile all the way from the palace

of holyroodhouse to st giles cathedral, all keen to greet the king and queen and other members of the royal family. but the day also included demonstrations by those who challenge the legitimacy of charles as king of scotland and there was a protest rally outside the scottish parliament attended by some ministers in the scottish government. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. down a packed street, the people's procession came, from all corners of scotland and all walks of life. i am here representing the refugee community in scotland and also my mum, i'm doing this for her, she will be absolutely proud. i am here to try to raise the profile of our beautiful fabric

we have in scotland that represents our heritage in culture. it's a real cinderella moment for me. kate is here to represent guide dogs scotland and as you can _ see, quite laid—back! and i think she will. do guide dogs proud. the crowds came early, as did the congregation. it's such a historic day, isn't it? wonderful to have this in our capital city. how are you feeling ladies? wonderful! big day. a great day. not my king! alongside royal fans there were also protesters. not my king! group shouting. a large group in sight of the cathedral is the king arrived, making sure their message was heard. not my king! it's time we abolished the monarchy, they are outdated and they don't represent the body of people in this country. crowd boos. i want a scottish republic. a democratic elected head of state.

politicians also took part, including the co—leader of the scottish greens who is a government minister here. mostly peaceful, there were some arrests. the vast majority, though, many thousands strong, are to enjoy the occasion. by the symbol of this sword, we pledge our loyalty. inside the cathedral, one of the most famous former olympians, presented the new sword to the king. when i was invited to attend, it was a huge moment. to be given a role for the sword, it is beyond. nobody grows up thinking they will do something like this. it is amazing. what was a _ something like this. it is amazing.

we think of all the changes, what does two—day's server say to you? it is interesting to meet this contrast with 1953. this is a record of what happened in 1953, written at the time and it describes how scotland yields to non—in the warmth of its loyalty for the new crowned queen. then, and now there are and where some differences. then, the queen toured the city quite extensively in an open carriage pulled by four horses. today, as we have seen, the king made a shorterjourney straight up king made a shorterjourney straight up the royal mile in an enclosed vehicle. there were supporters out in force in favour of the king and there were opponents. what else has changed since 1953? so much, clearly, the uk and scotland is much wealthier and more ethnically diverse. it is less deferential,

less christian and also one could surely say, more fragmented. we have seen a rise, especially in scotland, of nationalism over this period that has culminated with the snp in power in edinburgh and the devolved parliament. we have seen a rise very recently in republicanism, polls say support for republicanism has risen since the death of the queen. i wonder if both of these, though they may ebb and flow, come to dominate and be a more significant part of the reign of king charles in a way perhaps they were not during the reign of queen elizabeth.- reign of queen elizabeth. james cook, our scotland _ reign of queen elizabeth. james cook, our scotland editor. - so the formal events, which began last september with the death of her majesty the queen and the accession of king charles iii have been completed with today's service at the high kirk of edinburgh. we'll be back later in the programme, but first let's join clive in the studio. many thanks for that.

thousands of mourners, have taken part in a funeral procession in the occupied west bank, for some of the 12 palestinians who died during israel's two—day military operation. an israeli soldier was also killed. the troops have now moved out of the refugee camp injenin, leaving local people assessing the damage, following isreal�*s biggest offensive in the area for two decades. our international editor jeremy bowen is live in jenin for us tonight. jeremy. thank you, clive. yes, it was almost 24—hour is a goat that the israelis pulled out of the refugee camp, which is very close to where i am. and those palestinians who live there went back into try and see the state of their homes. when we went up state of their homes. when we went up there first thing this morning, the big item on the agenda was the funerals of people who we believe were mostly fighting men. and one

warning, some people may find some of the images in my report a bit distressing. with the israelis gone, the palestinians ofjenin were able to bury their dead. they processed out of the refugee camp and, on a finaljourney, passed the homes of the dead men and around their town. israel says it has closed thejenin terrorism factory. but armed men from the militias that control the camp were everywhere. but someone's livelihood will have disappeared along with that van. and smashing the refugee camp's infrastructure, electricity, as well as water, alarmed the un. it looks more like collective punishment.

"there is no solution," said aymen al saadi. "not until we get back what we lost in 19118. "we are refugees here. our lands are there." he means in israel. in the camps are descendants of palestinians who fled or were forced out of what became israel in 19118. mourners brought the bodies back to the camp to be buried. palestinian leaders say their people have a right to defend themselves. israel says the palestinian armed men here firing into the air to salute their dead are cowards, terrorists and the tools of iran. this is about sending very powerful message that, despite everything that has happened, they're not beaten. they are still here. in fact, their belief, they are victorious. the conflict sucks in

the generations and suffocates hope. at the cemetery, men got into the graves to lay them to rest. israel says this is no longer a protected place for terrorists. palestinian leaders say there are no terrorists here. the poor and angry injenin camp have a deeply rooted culture of resistance to israeli occupation of land palestinians want for a state. israel's military hails its two days injenin as a professional, highly effective operation, but the key to a better future lies in politics and diplomacy, not anyone's bombs and bullets.

so, where does this idea that israel claims their military operation has been a success come from? what is your assessment?— been a success come from? what is your assessment? well, after these thin . s your assessment? well, after these thins both your assessment? well, after these things both sides _ your assessment? well, after these things both sides like _ your assessment? well, after these things both sides like to _ your assessment? well, after these things both sides like to claim - things both sides like to claim victory. the israeli position is that they put in a very professional force of troops, a new special forces brigade, that was able to achieve what it had to do in terms of destroying weapons, getting suspects, all in two days, and they got out. so they feel they have done theirjob very well. but against that, the palestinians, palestinian fighters, were walking openly around the camp this morning carrying american—made assault weapons and i think that these are people who will not be thinking about surrender. they will be thinking about revenge. and, yes, they have lost a lot of weapons and explosives, but there is

also ways here of replacing them. on the black market you can buy, apparently, american m4 or m—16 rifles for about £30,000. ironically many of those have been stolen from israeli army stores. so i think that while all this messaging is going on about claiming victory, the message that isn't happening or hasn't happened for many years now is between the two sides with the message, we better talk about this, guys, because actually if we don't it is going to get worse. and i think in the continued absence of that, because there is no peace processes and there are none of those contacts going on, i think the situation with everything else happening here remainsjust another couple of bad incidents away from the next serious crisis. back to you, clive.

way to examine these underlying examinations of war crimes. in an unexpected reversal today the ministry of defence, as you said, confirmed for the first time that uk special forces were involved confirmed for the first time that uk specialforces were involved in these rates that are now being scrutinised. the ministry of defence is still asking for widespread reporting restrictions on the public inquiry. lawyers for the bereaved families and for the bbc and other media organisations are calling for as much of this key evidence to the inquiry as possible to be held in open court so the public have as much access to the information as possible. much access to the information as ossible. , ., ., ~ , ., the national health service is 75 years old, but there are warnings over its future. ever growing waiting lists are forcing a debate about funding and modernisation. so what could the nhs look like in the coming decades? our health editor, hugh pym is here. thanks, clive. yes, there were events around the uk marking the 75th anniversary, including a service

at westminster abbey with political and health leaders and nhs staff and some landmarks lit up in blue this evening. but it comes at a time of intense debate about the future of the health service with increasing strain on the frontline and mounting frustration for patients. a survey charting public opinions in england, scotland and wales showed sharply declining satisfaction with the nhs over the last couple of years. but at the same time over three quarters said they wanted the service to continue being funded mainly through taxation. whatever the frustration with current challenges, people are overwhelmingly supportive of the founding principles of the nhs, so care, free when you need it, and funded through taxation. so much has changed since the early days of the nhs ? a bigger and more diverse population, far more life—saving drugs, people living longer and an ageing population with multiple health needs.

this chart shows how the percentage of the population over 65, seen here in dark red, is going up, and that presents more health opportunities and challenges. so health spending will keep on rising, though as this chart shows the average annual real increases in england, currently around 3.5%, are really only in line with the historic average for the uk. spending as a share of national income is below france and germany, though slighly above sweden. it sounds like we are spending a lot of money on health care and we are spending around £150 billion a year, thatis spending around £150 billion a year, that is a huge amount of taxpayers' money, but it is money that needs to be spent to take care of our population as it grows and ages and so the real question is how much money are we willing to spend? and what political choices do we want to make about it? about it? a few parts of the nhs

still use fax machines, but with artificial intelligence helping speed up diagnosis and new blood tests for cancer, health leaders say technology will help tackle the chalenges of the future. clive. hugh pym, our health editor. the journalist and broadcaster fiona phillips says she's been diagnosed with alzheimer's disease. the former host of gmtv, who's 62, says she'd been suffering for months with brain fog and anxiety before the diagnosis. there is a history of dementia in herfamily with her parents, grandparents and uncle all being affected. a woman working in the parliamentary office of an mp has described how she was asked to sit on his lap and felt she had no other choice but to do so. the mp has since been suspended, following separate allegations. ellie varley, who's 25, says she's very angry about what she calls a predatory culture in the house of commons and is one of six people who've spoken to the bbc about inappropriate behaviour at westminster. newsnight s uk editor,

sima kotecha, has that story. the house of commons is the heart of democracy. it should, therefore, uphold the highest standards of behaviour. but now there are more allegations of sexual misconduct. this is a problem that transcends party politics. it transcends your position of power. it transcends your gender. 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. it can range from a hand on a hip. i've had it where people havejust texted me incessantly. if i don't reply after you've messaged six times, it might be clear that i'm not interested in seeing you. 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 and sit on my lap." and i was like, "oh, i'm fine, thank you. i don't want to, 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. 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. 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. there is an independent process in place — the icgs — why have you not spoken to them before? it takes a long time. often you can think, you know, is it worth taking 15 months to raise a complaint about something that to me was just a minute of my life?

the house of commons told us the icgs is the first scheme of its kind. it said... "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 behavior. however, most believe some in senior positions turn a blind eye instead. sima kotecha, bbc news, westminster. and you can see the full report on newsnight tonight over on bbc two at 10:30. there's also more at bbc news online, that's bbc.co.uk/news, or by using the bbc news app. environmental protestors disrupted play at wimbledon, not once but twice today, including during the match

of the british women's number one, katie boulter. but she wasn't put off her stride, as our sports correspondent, andy swiss, now reports. for wimbledon another day of disruption. firstly yet more rain, and then on court 18 with grigor dimitrov about to serve, this. two protesters from the campaign groupjust stop oil scattering confetti along with the pieces of a wimbledon jigsaw. one of them briefly sat down on the court before both were arrested by police and removed from the grounds. and in the very next match it happened again, another protester with confetti, and although he was soon stopped by security staff another clear up operation. even the two players, daria saville and briain�*s katie boulter, helped out and the short delay seemed to favour boulter as what had been a tight match became very one—sided.

the british number one through to the second round, but what did she make of that earlier protest? it was obviously a little bit of a shock to the system. i think we all sympathise with what they are going through completely, but at the same time i personally don't know if it's the right place or time. well, today not only protests are another challenge for the organisers here. after so much rain they have a backlog of matches to get through. as well as tennis, they are playing catch—up. it proved a tricky day for other british hopes. jodie burrage and heather watson are among those going out. but the man in search of an eighth title here goes marching on. game, set and match, djokovic. novak djokovic easing pastjordan thompson on an often chaotic day. for him at least, just business as usual. andy swiss, bbc news, wimbledon. let's return to the special events that have been taking place in scotland,

marking king charles' coronation, let's go back to huw, who's in edinburgh. clive, thank you very much. it was a glorious day here in edinburgh, the sun really was shining on the processions, the colours of the military uniforms and banners were vibrant, the royal mile was a great sight. it started to rain here in the past p minutes, so things are changing. let's get an update on the weather across the uk and let's join sarah. a bit more clout sweeping across scotland over recent hours, but many of us have clear skies out there. this was the sunset as we ended the of us have clear skies out there. this was the sunset as we ended the day in wakefield. a few showers day in wakefield. a few showers overnight but tomorrow fewer showers overnight but tomorrow fewer showers than we have had today. still some than we have had today. still some sunshine on offer, especially sunshine on offer, especially towards the east, but there is rain towards the east, but there is rain in the forecast and that will be that will be

moving in into the west. it is down in the forecast and that will be moving in into the west. it is down to this clear skies out there. to this low pressure moving in from the atlantic, but higher pressure is
