until the princes funeral. who also be marked by a $41.00 gun salute at noon on saturday. and joining me now is the correspondent being at mass in london big at what do we know about the plans for prince philip's funeral and the question many people will be asking is will harry and megan attend. the funeral be a much less big affair than it was originally planned prince philip did not want a state funeral however it would have been most likely the coffin being paraded and being moved between london and windsor all this is not taking place because all we assume it's not taking place because of coronavirus restrictions so the royal family have to deal with the same restrictions as everyone else there is a there is a maximum of 30 people allowed to everything will be toned down as

to the question of harry and maggie and we don't know yet at this point in time but the speculation would be that harry he had a very strong connection with his grandfather that he will attend we don't know does he need to quarantine when you comes over from the u.s. like everyone else would have to do we don't know yet when the funeral of b. as to magen the speculation is that maybe she she might not come because she's very pregnant so i think in the next day the royal family are said to shed a bit of light on all the funeral arrangements of course world leaders have been paying tribute to prince philip u.s. president joe biden called him one heck of a guy tell us a bit more about the man and his life. here in the u.k. he's really being remembered as somebody who was such a support for the queen who obviously is being held in high regard through the country and throughout the world as as the man who always was behind her who had

this amazing sense of public duty when he retired more or less retired in 2017 there was a calculation that he had attended just him without the queen over 20000 and gauge men's and he was patron of many organizations over 800 organizations from mostly from sports and equestrian but also wildlife which was one of his passions and then this legacy somehow also i think is going to live on for example the he created the duke of edinburgh award scheme which is still very popular in schools and which draws on pupils going outside and fostering resilience and still many many children are very keen very still very keen to do it so you was really somebody who who supported the country and the system that we live in the constitutional monarchy or what about the queen i mean you touched on there by her own admission prince philip

was such a rock for her they were married for was 74 years. yeah and absolutely long lasting marriage and from what we know it was really love at 1st sight they met when the queen was the only fat teen and he was only 18 and initially the parents have parents were not really very keen on her marrying him because he didn't have a lot of financial means behind him but she insisted and that seems to have been a real love marriage and carried through the ages he had some nicknames for her which i find quite touching a parent he called oh so siege and cabbage but also you called a darling see. kiddo you kind of speculate about this on the dave had and she has said she herself the queen herself said in the book on the occasion of

the golden wedding and anniversary that he was such a such a rock for her and she owes him so much that he would never really say say that or make a big deal out of it because you know somebody who was not really putting himself in the center of attention but that she owes him really so much big thank you do you have any cars on a big month in london. german chancellor angela merkel will introduce legislation aimed at giving the federal government more powers to impose nationwide pandemic rules but then wants to impose national restrictions if new infections go over certain limits germany is battling a 3rd covert 19 wave and doctors warn hospitals will soon be overwhelmed. if i want to go shopping in berlin i can do that if i get tested before hand here i can do that right in front of the shopping center and the test is for free. the

not been reduced as much as during the 1st lock down and that's what we need to come back to because we're dealing with a new variant b 117 which is spreading faster the only way to do that is through a coherent systematic intensive and maybe shorter knock down look here at the chancellor's office and you'll america is calling for a strict and nation wide lockdown but federal states have the decision making powers in the fight against the pandemic and. the states have very different views especially now that the election campaign is stopped on the lush it from north rhine-westphalia and from bavaria fighting over the sea to use candidacy for chancellor is the political management of the crisis going out of hand this is more thought of politicos are good politicians always say we have to make long term decisions but actually thinking of the next election that's why they want to avoid uncomfortable inconvenient decisions decisions people won't understand but that's
