this was almost like, you know, getting a bit of respite from the spotlight am in london and, and, you know, here she was able to drive around, people would see her driving around occasionally and her land rover. and you might even catch her outside on a hike in the states, and she would visit the church here, the local church, down the road regularly as well. and i mean, she continued to come here every year for a few months over the summer. so this really was a place like a home away from home, really. and just to look forward to her funeral, there her body is currently at bol. murrell. how will the transport, the queens in her coffin to london? yes so her coffin will be taken down to edinburgh to the hot to hollywood palace and from their proceeding will am lead up to use and giles cathedral where she will lay in state am and people will be able to say good bye to her and am as of tuesday

bronco. a city of over 300000 scientists say 50000 square kilometers of land are threatened by the fires high school students in chile have classed with police and st. protester manning better facilities for public schools. water cannons, dispersed crowds after hooded demonstrators threw rocks and molotov. cocktails at the police, the country has seen a surgeon, civil protest after chill lanes rejected a proposed new constitution. ukraine's counter attack in the south and east of the country has put russian forces on the defensive. keith says it has liberated dozens of communities, but as its troops advanced, they find new devastation and new evidence of russian atrocities. port. 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. beer slid ship parts to recommend. the investigators are working on the site and have inspected it. and the zoom, the bodies of 2 people would have been, the people had gunshot wound to the back of the head and the ears were cut off a boy debriefing 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 northeast prospect, 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. i spoke to d. w correspondent, nick connelly and keybo short while ago, and asked what more he can tell us about the gains made by ukrainian troops in the northeast. well indeed, in just the last hour that be report see frame media that ukraine forsin are taking the strategic town of coupons. so fully confirmed yet, but we have seen pictures and social media of rush of ukrainian troops rather in 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. so really does seem like ukranian forces are making very fast progress. this again, situation where in don't bass, 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 la huntington. it 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 c, r 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 in the hearing key 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 a situation there seems to be getting worse. what more can you tell us? well, this is a very dangerous situation. this is york's biggest nuclear plant, one of the biggest in the world that is now cut off from outside power supply. does any one of the 6 rec, still on, and 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 otter 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 rector is shut down, they will be totally dependent on diesel generators to keep the cooling going. and in a 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 under russian of 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 innovation. very worrying indeed. licked nick a quick last question. if i may, the german foreign minister we understand returned to keith 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 so what changed while germany has finally come good on some of the

promises in terms of supplying weapons, the anti aircraft tanks, the get paul tanks have arrived. some radar systems arrived, some 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 i'm in a book the green party for mr. is a very welcome guest turnkey of her party, has been very outspoken in its support for ukraine and for supplying more weapons. the situation is bit more difficult with the social democrats of chancellor sholtes who been a lot more reluctant to promise and to help you crane militarily. so thank those that kind of coalition difficulty, bad, the greens alone, don't get to decide what gemini does, but definitely things all a bit better and is a lot less in the way of open bruxism from the ukrainian side. okay, dw correspondent, nick connelly in key reporting for us. and a reminder of our top story we're following for you. britain has entered a period of formal morning for queen elizabeth hundreds gathered in london for a memorial service. her son making his 1st address as king charles the 3rd echoed
