sal, good june loving life is very precious place to come to an alleged world diarrhea. so there's a joy to sadness but also celebration king charles and his wife camilla made their way through the palace gates for the 1st time as king and queen consoles. and charles vowed to follow his mother's example. as monica, as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i too no solemnly pledged myself throughout the remaining time, god groan smith, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. and wherever you may live in the united kingdom,

or in the realms and territories across the world. and whatever may be your background or beliefs, i shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect, and love. as i have throughout my life, charles will be officially proclaimed king later today, and moment he has prepared for his entire life. many hope then you monica will live up to his mother's image by keeping a steady hand at the helm. as the u. k. navigates through turbulent times and earlier we talk to our correspondent, bigot mass in london about what else stood out of king charles at 1st address as sovereign. while he spoke about his loyalty and of the service to his country. so really, i think he wanted to stress the continuity. he's also said that his own live will have to change and that might hinder him being fairly outspoken. or let's say more

outspoken than his mother was in some subjects that he cared deeply about. for example, green issues, but also architecture and he famously ones called the building or plans for a new building, a carbuncle. so these are words that his mother would have never. i said she would have never said anything controversial. and i think that he's hinting that this is direct and the direction that he's himself planning to go towards in a few hours. farragut charles will be officially proclaimed king. what will happen there in that ceremony? it will all be incredibly foreigner. what we know is that there is something called an accession council that is mostly former politicians, but it's a be counseling. this council would formerly proclaim charles to be the king. this is then followed by gum salutes in london in several places in london. and also we

know that the proclamation will then be repeated also in northern ireland and scotland and in wales. so not only in london and not only in england, but across the whole of the united kingdom. so this is how the day will unfold, and this is when prince charles formerly be proclaimed to be the new king and burger. the day of the queen's funeral has not yet been officially confirmed, but we all know it's going to be a massive event with people like joe biden, coming from the united states. what other details do we have so far? well, that's is pretty much it. that's the expectations it's going to be so big. it might well be the biggest event that london has ever seen. so we expected to be held normally. it would have been within 10 days of queens passing off after

10 days, but it hasn't been officially confirmed. we expect it to be in a week on monday, but that's only aspect should ation. at the moment we know that our, the heads of state will be coming. you mentioned that joe biden has confirmed that he's coming, but we also expect that they'll do so many british people that will come and i speak to one lady that i met at buckingham palace and she had come there to pay her respects and her eyes were almost lighting up and she said it's going to be amazing . so there is, you know, there is a sense of grief, but there's also a sense that this is a moment when something specialists happening, which a lot of people will really want to share that moment. and i think that will probably be the case around the world, certainly in the countries of the commonwealth t w's correspondent, target mass in london. thanks so much. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. historic floods have left half a 1000000 people homeless in pakistan. you and chief antonio,

country has put russian forces on the defensive. keith says it has liberated dozens of communities, but as its troops advance, they find new devastation and new evidence of russian atrocities. just 3 days ago, this village in the hockey region was under russian control. now it's back in ukrainian hands, but signs of its recent occupation are everywhere. including evidence of more potential russian war crimes against civilians in the area where heavy fighting to place. early in the invasion there slid ship parts to rec, went the investigators are working on the site and have inspected it and the resumed the bodies of 2 people. for order been, the people had gunshot wound to the back of the head and the ears were cut off. i believe to be very walker. the village is just one of dozens. keith says it's taken

back within the last week. then the chest blowing seal as of today, the armed forces of ukraine have liberated and taking control of more than 30 settlements in the hockey region. and some villages, security and safety checks are ongoing. that ability or gradually taking control of new settlements only from everywhere. we return the ukrainian flag and safety to our people. national drama. moscow has said little about ukraine seemingly rapid advances in the north east, possibly, but its top official in the hockey region admitted on russian stay t v. on friday that keith had scored a significant victory with russia rushing reinforcements to the region as likely yet more fierce fighting. ahead and for more on this less cross straight to d. w correspondent, nick connelly in keith. nick. so we've been hearing that ukraine's been having some

success in the northeast. but more can you tell us well, indeed, in just the last hour that be report see frame media that ukraine forcing are taking the strategic town of coupons. it's not fully confirmed yet, but we have seen pictures and social media of rush of ukrainian troops rather and from the town hall there that is a long way away from the previous positions from the previous towns that ukraine taken in recent days, dozens of kilometers to really does seem like ukraine forces are making very fast progress. this again, situation where in dumbass, russia has been taking a couple of 100 meters at best every couple of days. so a real contrast and a sense that the cranes have caught the russians of god. all the talk in previous weeks months was about the south about had a song, and maybe that was a distraction tactic to get rushed to focus its efforts. there it seems like lots the troops in this part of ukraine on the russian side were a mobilized from new hans to next is what regular army units. these were people often in their forties, fifties, with no military experience and very poor equipment. and ones who of see are in

a situation not in any kind of shape to stand up to this ukranian advance. and it is now seemingly the case that ukraine is looking to encircle. a large number of russian troops, ministry of is doom and their retreat would be quite difficult, given the geography, given some rivers in the way and bridges that are very vulnerable to attacks, of a sense here in ukraine that the army is on a role. and that there is the potential take lots, lots of russian prisons war. now the details are all very, very light right now. the ukrainian armies basically put a kind of media embargo out. so this is all based on social media from the front lines, from people who live there and from russian bloggers. but it does seem that this is going better than anyone hearing care of really could have expected his good news for a key for the ukranian army. but a worrying news from this apparition, nuclear power plant, the situation there seems to be getting worse. what more can you tell us? on the phone, this is

a very dangerous situation. this is york's biggest nuclear plot, one of the biggest in the world that is now cut off from outside power supply as any one of the 6 rec, still on. that's basically just operational at a low level to keep the plant going to keep the cooling going. this is the big risk at all. the experts talk about the risk of a direct hit by our to re fires of sit there, but that is they say less of a real threat because these power plants are quite well protect, in terms of the structure, the real risk. they say the most likely risk is a lack of power, a lack of ability to cool directors that could really lead to some very dangerous situations. if that last rec to is shut down, they will be totally dependent on diesel generators to keep the cooling going. and in situation where this is basically a huge power station on the front lines with daily shelling, getting in enough diesel to keep that cooling going is going to be very, very difficult. the city around it where the people who operate the station live is without power, without water. so the situation desperate for the people still working there, understand the patient we've heard in recent days from top ukraine officials that

they say the russians have been abusing the staff, their talk of stuff going missing, being killed, being tortured. so very difficult situation for people trying to keep the situation safe. they're now 6 months into this patient. very worrying. indeed. look, nick, a quick last question. if i may, the german foreign minister we understand, returned to keep this morning for a 2nd visit since the beginning a war of the war. the relations are a lot warmer since a few months back. are they not? and, and so what changed while germany has finally come good on some of the promises in terms of supplying weapons, the anti aircraft tanks, the gephart tanks have arrived. some radar systems arrived from anti aircraft. systems are expected to arrive in the coming weeks, but it's pretty thin in terms of new promises in the pipeline to further supplies, i think. and then in a book, the green party, foreign minister, is a very welcome guest turnkey of her party has been very outspoken in its support for ukraine and for supplying more weapons. the situations bit more difficult with

the social democrats of chancellor schultz who, being a lot more reluctant to promise and to help you crane militarily. so i think there's that kind of coalition difficulty that the greens alone don't get to decide what gemini does, but definitely things are a bit better and is a lot less in the way of open criticism from ukrainian side. okay, dw correspondent, nick connelly in key reporting for us watching d w. news coming up next. sports looks at how hiking is helping refugees find their place in germany as after the break. i'm next by, sir. thanks for watching. people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center more and more betty geez are being turned away. families theory.
