king charles has begun regular treatments and postponed public duties as buckingham palace adjusts to the king's cancer diagnosis. there's been a global response to the cancer diagnosis across the commonwealth and from us presidentjoe biden. one year after turkey's deadliest earthquake that killed more than 53,000 people, aid agencies say substantial rebuilding still needs to be done. hello, i'm sally bundock. king charles has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment. buckingham palace made the announcement yesterday evening.

they've said it's not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate. he'll be taking a step back from his public duties, as our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. this was the last time we saw the king in public — on sunday, going to church with queen camilla on the sandringham estate in norfolk. just 17 months into his reign, he now faces a serious health challenge. just over a week ago, the king left this private hospital in central london, where he'd spent three nights being treated for an enlarged prostate. we now know, during his stay here, cancer was discovered. in a statement, buckingham palace said...

although open about his diagnosis, the type of cancer the king has will be kept private — as will the nature of his treatment. all of his public engagements have been cancelled. his son, the duke of sussex, is expected to visit him this week — travelling to the uk from his home in california to see his father, who contacted prince harry personally with news of the diagnosis. it is the first time harry has seen the king since the coronation. in times of crisis, families do come together, and i think everyone will be happy to see that. ithink, you know, there is a sort of sense of business as usual going on — that's very much a message that sort of the palace is trying to put out. but if, along the way, we can see some bridges being built,

then that's got to be a good thing. but it will now be down to other working members of the royal family to pick up some of the king's work. his wife, queen camilla, has done a number of her own engagements in recent weeks, but may now find herself doing some of her husband's duties, too. it will be the same for the king's son, the prince of wales — who himself has been away from royal engagements for almost a month, following his wife's stay in hospital after surgery. he is due to return to public duty tomorrow in windsor and london. this is going to be a testing time for the king and the wider royal family, as they balance personal, private challenges with the need to continue with public duties. daniela relph, bbc news. live now to los angeles, to speak to royal commentator sandro monetti.

talk us through the conversation in the us following this news. well, here, following this news. well, here. the _ following this news. well, here, the big _ following this news. well, here, the big question - following this news. well, here, the big question is, | following this news. well, - here, the big question is, how much responsibility, if any, is harry going to take on? to me, this is a wonderful opportunity, born out of terrible sadness. harry is somebody who was born to a life of duty. he stepped away from the royal family but now he may be needed. the regency act 1937 allows the monarch to appoint other royals to take on various duties if the monarchy is indisposed or ill. queen elizabeth used this 100 times and it will be interesting to see whether charles, you know, would be delighted to see harry coming over, will he say, how about doing a bit more? that is

the speculation in california, is it a return for the renegade royal? 1 is it a return for the renegade ro al? ., ., , royal? i would imagine there is a lot of conversation _ royal? i would imagine there is a lot of conversation about - a lot of conversation about that in the united states, as he looks to travel to london in the very near future, to be a support to his father. the king spoke to him personally about this, his two sons, to tell them the news.— this, his two sons, to tell them the news. certainly did. it's been _ them the news. certainly did. it's been a — them the news. certainly did. it's been a very _ them the news. certainly did. it's been a very uneasy - it's been a very uneasy relationship, one of the big challenges of king charles' lane has been the fact harry threw a grenade on the royal family with his book and documentaries. —— king charles' reign. when a family is tested by illness, it's amazing how the bonds of blood can come together and the eyes of the world are very much on london at the moment, and harry is a huge part of this story. can he change the narrative? and of

course there is huge interest in the us. course there is huge interest in the us-— in the us. we heard from president _ in the us. we heard from president joe _ in the us. we heard from president joe biden, - in the us. we heard from president joe biden, who| in the us. we heard from - president joe biden, who asked presidentjoe biden, who asked about what he would say to the king at this time, and the family of course. in terms of what might happen in this process, of course the hope is this is caught very early. that it can be treated. and he will recover well and fully, so he can continue in time with public duties in his role as the king and the monarch. let's ho -e so. the king and the monarch. let's hepe so- 50 _ the king and the monarch. let's hope so. so much _ the king and the monarch. let's hope so. so much love - the king and the monarch. let's hope so. so much love and - hope so. so much love and affection in the united states and around the world for the royals. talking of around the world, charles and camilla had foreign trips coming up, they were due in north america in may, in canada. also a trip to australia, new zealand and samoa, scheduled for october. no news if those royal engagements will be cancelled, or whether somebody else will step up. there are currently only four working members of

the royal family as of today. that becomes five when william returns to work tomorrow. harry is out there. one thing we can rule out is any involvement of prince andrew, no sign of him stepping up, no statement, the scandal seems to have done for him. interesting to see who steps up, whether it will be the existing five just having to take on more duties. so many questions, so much speculation, but importantly also so much love in the us and around the world. ., ., ., , ., world. indeed, good to get your take on all— world. indeed, good to get your take on all of— world. indeed, good to get your take on all of this. _ world. indeed, good to get your take on all of this. what - world. indeed, good to get your take on all of this. what has - take on all of this. what has been taking place in so many ways is unprecedented. in the past, british monarchs have not chosen to share the diagnosis of any serious illness with the public. any constitutional issues that have arisen have been discussed behind closed doors. king charles has broken with that tradition but made it clear he intends to continue working on affairs of state

as much as possible. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. he is 75 years of age and like anyone receiving a diagnosis of cancer, irrespective of their position, he is having to deal with a sharp reminder of his own mortality. in terms of his constitutional role as head of state, notjust of the uk but of 1a other nations as well, that is unaffected, so long as he is not physically incapacitated, and there is no suggestion of that. though it appears he will disappearfrom public view, he will continue to deal with the red boxes, the state papers which come to him every day. there are a multitude of documents from parliamentary bills to a host of other things which require his attention and his signature. if he were to become incapacitated, then other members of the royal family would step forward as counsellors of state, his wife, his siblings, and his sons are all

counsellors of state, but there is an acceptance that neither andrew or the absent harry could be seen to perform such a role. in the 19505, king george vi was diagnosed with lung cancer and underwent an operation at buckingham palace to remove a lump. other members of the family including his wife could have fulfilled his constitutional role while he was incapacitated. however, there is nothing to suggest such an arrangement will be required in the case of charles. if things change, then a decision would have to be made for counsellors of state to be appointed and the king would have to sign the letters patent, effectively 5pringing the counsellors of state into life, and two of them would have to act, effectively deputising for the king.

so for king charles, a fit 75—year—old who has generally coped with life with resilience and humour, there is now the challenge of dealing with the levelling impact of cancer. though the prognosis appears to be good, it will be a considerable and often solitary test. nicholas witchell, bbc news. live now to los angeles, to speak to kinsey schofield who's host of a daily royal podca5t. give us your take as someone who covers the royal family on a daily basis in the us. i who covers the royal family on a daily basis in the us.- a daily basis in the us. i was really surprised _ a daily basis in the us. i was really surprised in _ a daily basis in the us. i was really surprised in january, l really surprised in january, because i think we were excited for a new year. we were immediately hit by the epstein files, and that led us into some devastating news about the king and the princess of wales.

so i don't think anyone anticipated to have such a chaotic beginning of the year for the royal family. but obviously, thoughts and players with the king. and you know, talking about why they are being so upfront about his medical issues, i do think this is an individual who really is very passionate about his family history. he knows that it's important to go on record with this, and how important it is for other people to see him being so honest and open about his struggles. i really admire it. cancer is something that is so prolific. most households in one way or another deal with the same thing. we one way or another deal with the same thing.— one way or another deal with the same thing. we don't know what -e the same thing. we don't know what type of— the same thing. we don't know what type of cancer _ the same thing. we don't know what type of cancer he - the same thing. we don't know what type of cancer he has, - what type of cancer he has, what type of cancer he has, what treatment he is receiving currently. but the point is, he is trying to share this, isn't he? and show that cancer is

something that impacts all. absolutely. just the fact that we are hearing that he is going to continue to work, as much as he can, this is a man who is obsessed with hisjob. he waited 73 years to finally have it. in the best way possible, i mean obsessed with his job... he absolutely loves what he does. he will continue to do what he can behind the scenes. some treatment options make your immune system more vulnerable, so they are being very protective of his space. we anticipate to see the red boxes going in and out, and him still going through his papers and working behind—the—scenes as much as he can. reports over the last few weeks that queen camilla has said, i need for you to slow down a little bit. and she won't be slowing down, because to a degree she will have to step up while he is not able to attend public events

and take part in public duties, as will the prince of wales. absolutely, and strategically, sorry, statistically, prince william is the most popular member of the royal family, with the princess of wales on his heels. he is a wonderful ambassadorfor the royal his heels. he is a wonderful ambassador for the royal brand and more importantly the country. more prince william and more queen camilla is a no—brainer, they are both witty, charming and charismatic with the public. specifically with the public. specifically with prince william, people are emotionally invested in his success. queen camilla absolutely knocking this out of the park. she must have looked at the queen and seen how much the queen took on in times of struggle. because she was shy at the beginning of her time with the king. she was... she allowed him to shine much more, and we are seeing so much more of her now and she seems much

more confident and comfortable in her role. more confident and comfortable in her role-— in her role. thank you for aaivin in her role. thank you for giving us _ in her role. thank you for giving us your— in her role. thank you for giving us your take - in her role. thank you for giving us your take on - in her role. thank you for| giving us your take on this news. we will have more on that later in the programme. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. from today, around eight million households in the uk on low incomes will start receiving a £299 cost—of—living payment — the final of three instalments totalling £900. no further payments of this kind are scheduled, and charities are urging the government to consider more support. the government said there would be a rise in benefits and state pensions from april. tributes have been paid to ian lavender, who played private pike in the bbc sitcom dad's army, who's died at the age of 77. he was the last surviving main cast member. his other appearances included yes minister and eastenders. northern ireland's new

power—sharing administration is asking rishi sunak to increase its funding. the uk government has already pledged to provide a financial package worth £3.3 billion to the executive at stormont. mr sunak has said the amount is generous. you're live with bbc news. israel's defence minister, yoav gallant, has warned that his country's forces will reach hamas militants in rafah, which he described as their last holdout in gaza. hundreds of thousands of palestinian have fled of palestinians have fled to the southern city, which borders egypt. mr gallant claimed that half of hamas's fighters had been killed or seriously wounded in israel's offensive. mr gallant was speaking as the us secretary of state, antony blinken, began his fifth recent visit to the middle east, holding talks with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman. they discussed efforts

to achieve an enduring end to the conflict. today marks the one year anniversary of turkey's deadliest earthquake that killed more than 53,000 people in the southeast of the country. save the children says that one—third of those displaced are still homeless. and aid organisations say substantial rebuilding remains to be done, with 85% of infrastructure, including schools and hospitals, destroyed in the worst hit areas, like hatay province. and 12 months after the disaster, debris is still being cleared, and many families are still living in tents and containers. live now to hatat in antakya, where we can speak to ayca aydin, director of field operations for syria and turkiye for global empowerment missions. it's really good to have you on

re—elected since, promising to rebuild these parts of turkey. so what needs to be done? actually, the scale is so big. many thousands of buildings destroyed. it's notjust destroyed. it's not just buildings, destroyed. it's notjust buildings, it's families. they have their own stories. so many people passed away. and now everything of course getting better, but everything needs to better, but everything needs to be done more and more. did you lose your — be done more and more. did you lose your home, _ be done more and more. did you lose your home, i _ be done more and more. did you lose your home, i understand? l be done more and more. did you lose your home, i understand? i | lose your home, i understand? i lost my house in different earthquake, it was 1999, in istanbul. i lost my house and i lived eight months in a tent, so i know what does it mean to spend your time in a tiny

thousands of people on the streets. everybody was silent, everybody was crying. the pain is still the same. so many people lost their loved ones, daughters, babies, fathers, mothers, anyone. there was mourning, so we went to hug them and to say, you are not alone. we are here together. it's been good to talk to you, thank you forjoining us from turkey. thank you for “oining us from turke . ., ~ thank you for “oining us from turke . ., ,, ,, in the 19805, michaelj fox was one of the biggest names in hollywood, with starring roles in the back to the future film series. in 1991, he was diagnosed with parkinson's disease, a fact he kept secret for seven years. he officially retired from acting two years ago because of declining health, but now he's back in view in a documentary that's been nominated for a slew of awards, including the best documentary prize at the bafta awards in london. tom brook went to meet him in new york.

i was big. i was bigger than bubble gum. the story of me, take two. michaelj fox has been picking up awards and doing interviews to support the documentary in which he appears. michael, good to meet you. how are you? the documentary is called still: a michaelj fox movie, which chronicles his life, his rise to major tv and film stardom in the 19805, and his life after being diagnosed with parkinson's disease. i woke up and i noticed my pinky. parkinson's disease. it's not a portrait of a man full of self—pity. quite the contrary. i have parkinson's. i struggle with it. it's hard. it's annoying. it's more than annoying, but it can be devastating for some people. the story is about resiliency and about hope. an incurable optimist meets an incurable disease. michaelj fox! i don't believe this. this is great. in 1989, two years before his parkinson's disease diagnosis, michaelj fox was on top of the world, a major tv and movie star.

his huge following, with fans around the world, is quite phenomenal... i met him in california at the time when he was shooting back to the future 2. in the documentary, his far—reaching success is presented as an epic moment before profound change. i can't explain to you how huge an explosion it was. big thing. and then shortly after, i got married, my father passed away, my son was born and i was diagnosed. and so, just crossed the threshold into adulthood and into challenges that i didn't anticipate. you were diagnosed with parkinson's disease, and you didn't reveal it publicly for quite some time, did you? i didn't know what it was going to do, i didn't know how it was going to manifest itself. and i didn't know what to expect. and no—one could really tell me what to expect. michaelj fox eventually became a big advocate for finding a cure for parkinson's, launching a foundation which has raised substantial

sums for research. his optimism is very apparent in the documentary. to deny that part of me that wants to continue to go on and do things is to quit. i won't accept that. he sees his disease as giving him the opportunity to do something for others. i would say it's a gift, and people look at me and say, it's a gift that keeps on taking, but it's a gift. and it opened me up to a whole different... i realised i had to turn it around and turn it into something and make it some positive thing that affected other people in a positive way. and so i started the foundation, but it took me a long time to get there. the documentary isn'tjust a chronicle of a man who's fought the physical effects of a debilitating disease. it's as much a portrait of psychological triumph to show, as michaelj fox puts it, that a devastating diagnosis may not necessarily be the ending, but the advent of a new beginning.

the papers are dominated by one story. the king being diagnosed with cancer has filled the front pages of this morning's newspapers. "king has cancer" is the headline in the metro. the paper says the royal health shock came as surgeons discovered it during his surgery for an enlarged prostate. it reports that palace officials have confirmed that it is not prostate cancer, and it says that prince harry will be flying in to see his father. "stepping back," notes the ft. the paper reports how the monarch will refrain from public—facing duties while receiving treatment, but would continue to undertake state business and official paper "as usual", according to the palace. the guardian details comments from buckingham palace that the king "remains wholly

positive" about his treatment, and that he personally informed both of his sons — the prince of wales and duke of sussex — about his diagnosis. it says his majesty chose to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation, and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer. the i reports how no details have been shared by the palace on the type of cancer or the prognosis. and doctors have applauded his transparency and say they hope the announcement will persuade more people to get possible symptoms checked. "king's cancer shock" is the mirror's headline. the paper notes how, as well—wishers sent messages of support to the king, he praised medics for their rapid diagnosis. and the daily star has "king charles: i have cancer, and harry to fly in after the shock news".

business headlines next. hello there. monday was a day of significant contrasts across the country. mild, dry, but windy across england and wales. pretty wet across northern and central scotland. in fact, highlands seeing over five inches of rain since sunday. and this very slow weather front will gradually drift its way steadily southwards through the day on tuesday. behind it, introducing colder air all the way down from the arctic. that could have an impact later in the week. but tuesday will start off with rain sinking south out of northern ireland into northern england, gradually pushing its way down into wales and the midlands. ahead of it, it stays blustery, cloudy but mild. behind it, quite a clearance, crisp with some sunshine coming through. a few scattered showers turning wintry with elevation. 1—5 celsius generally in scotland, 7—9 celsius under the rain, but still double digits, 12 or13 celsius ahead of it. now, that frontal system will continue to bring some rain steadily south and then

pushing that colder arctic air pretty much right across the country. the exception is the far southwest. but wednesday will certainly be a brighter day. more sunshine coming through. largely dry with a few scattered showers continuing to be wintry, with elevation in scotland. here we'll likely see temperatures 2—4 celsius, but generally around 2—9 celsius. milder in the southwest, and that weather front then tries to squeeze back north into that colder air. and that is going to potentially have quite an impact, as it bumps into the colder air on the leading edge, we could see some snow for a time. favoured spots at the moment look likely to be across wales, the midlands and stretching up into the north of england. to the south of that, it will always stay as rain. but the met office has issued an early yellow warning — be aware that there could be some impacts with some snow through the midlands, north wales and northern england. two centimetres widely at lower levels, maybe a little more with any elevation.

so we'll need to keep an eye on that on thursday. it looks likely that scotland will stay in the colder, brighter, sunnier conditions, and to the south we're likely to continue to see rain. it may well stay relatively mild down to the south as we move into the weekend, but still noticeably colder the further north you go. keep watching the forecast. take care.
