cathedral. everyone was very, you know, it was very important for people to be here and it continues to be that way, you know, the q m for the people who are wanting to go into a st charles cathedral to, to pay their personal respects to the queen is expected to be huge, you know, so it is for everyone here. it's very important that they're the here, that they're passive, this historic moment. and that they're part of this, you know, end of an era really. and a lot of people held very deep personal affection for the queen. so it's not just a, you know, the monarch has a representative that of his who has his passed away. but it's someone who was very dear on a personal level to people. so collectively, i think people here felt that it was important to come together in this moment of grief and tell us more about the service of remembrance of john cathedral.

yeah, i mean, i think remembrance really well, sums it up quite well. you know, they played, they, they, they played that sounds or they read sounds from 23, i think. which is the lord's shepherd's. and which was an absolute favorite of the queens. you know, it was also played at her wedding to prince philip. and the whole ceremony was dotted with songs that people sang that were, you know, dear to heart, that she loved, that she would sing herself at the church, or up, up, up, up at belmore castle. and also when you look at the people who attended the service to nelson, not just her family. and this was, you know, not just her family like king charles and, and hand her other children, prince and princess and prince andrew. prince edwards. but it was also members of the scottish community, so the queen was patron to many charities. and so representatives from, from and with his charities that were invited to join this service. um,

so it was a mixture of family of community. and then also political leaders, you know, scotland 1st madison in custodian was there she read a piece as well and the prime minister list trust was at the event as well at the service as well. so really an important get together of people from all walks of life really and the late queen's journey doesn't stop there. what's next on the u. j? yes, absolutely. i mean, so she will lie and rest ass angels now for the next 24 hours. so that will hopefully give people enough time to catch a glance at her and then tomorrow in the afternoon, she will then travel to to london. and the coffin will be accompanied by her daughter, princess anne. and meanwhile, i think that's also quite interesting or quite important to mention. and the king

is actually then going to travel to northern island. he is going to travel to belfast for 1st time as king. and lisa smith, he'll be traveling to a cottage in wales. they will have to leave the emily gordon for us in central edinburgh. thank you very much for your continuing coverage of the latest ceremonies their morning acquaint. as we've heard, the queen's son, king charles the 3rd traveled to edinburgh to be part of that procession and memorial service earlier than you. monarch began the day though with his inaugural address to parliament in london. hundreds of lawmakers filled westminster hole as part of the ceremony to offer condolences to the king. let's take a listen to part of his speech. we gather to day in remembrance of the remarkable span of the queen's dedicated service to her nations and peoples. while very young,

her late majesty pledged her so to serve her country and her people and to maintain the precious principles of constitutional government which lie the heart of our nation. this vow she kept with unsurpassed devotion. she set an example of so 1st duty, which with god's help and your counsels, i am resolved faithfully to follow to the war in ukraine. now keith says its troops have liberated more than 20 settlements in 24 hours as they continue a rapid advance in the eastern ca, keith and don. yet grievance is nachos the front line 12 days ago. and yesterday you can see the latest territory that you can says it's recaptured from russian controlled in light. blue. russia is doubling its withdrawal for the region

a regrouping overnight. ukrainian official said russian miss allen air strikes on civilian infrastructure had caused widespread outages in the region. president vladimir lensky said russia was deliberately trying to deprive people of light and heat earlier. ha, keeps man describe the strikes as russian reprisals. we'll keep recent territorial gaze on the edge of ha, have city fire crews battle ablaze at one of ukraine's biggest power and heating plants. flames in the night. sky of the early source of light as the region is plunged into darkness. on 11 lyrica missile struck on infrastructure, sorry, transformers which serve the city of cartoon, were damaged ukraine, says russia missiles struck across its east and south destroying homes. with

multiple fatalities reported. russia's military denied, striking civilian targets, saying it had launched an offensive against military objects. but keith says russia is retaliating by air as its infantry loses ground. ukrainian forces a sharing videos of their arrival in towns occupied for more than 6 months to some within kilometers of the russian border. they say they have re taken control of strategic cities, including is u. m. once i supply help for the invading army, all not bloss chaise zoom on the main square of is young. the building of the local administration is still burning. everything around is destroyed, but it's okay on shore. so we will restore everything as zoom, zoom was is and will be ukrainian graham. across the northeast, the ukrainian fire is being unfurled. russian symbols are being torn down and the

cries of glory to ukraine: glory to heroes grow louder. oh, the malicious is in key for us. ukraine says it's recounted around 20 towns in the northeast, advancing all the way to the russian border. could this be a turning point dash and i think a, you know, we, so a 2 times during this war since february 24th where ukraine really, you know, gain momentum. ukraine and armed forces really hard to break to advances. it was when they managed to oust the russian army out of here, out of keith, to capital. and over the past few days, when they managed to do just dart in most of a how to keep a region at thousands of settlements or have been liberated by the ukraine armed forces are it so you know, on the one hand, each shows just how a strategically important and how strategically prepared are the ukranian armed

forces were, but it also shows how unprepared the russian army was when you have to, you know, a good pair for a war years to have to prepare for a retreating tactics. and this a seems to have direly locked her on the russian side. when we see at what speed they just abandoned a position, leaving out to the ukraine on armed forces to re sees, re take very strategically important cities in the report who are mentioning is you him, you know, this was one of the as to t g, a hobbs for a russian to re supply a to also communicate to her have new troops are coming over. so strategically, this is a very, very important moment for ukraine, and it seems that they were gaining momentum and it seems that every are are where we hear about new settlements being liberated. we've been nursing videos of the soldiers arriving in towns that have been occupied for months. what,

what are they finding when they arrive? well, those are a preliminary report stouter. we haven't been able to verify yet because of the a very volatile situation there. you know, journalists are not on, there are in liberated cities just yet, but there are preliminary reports and testimonies from nearby turns their dad's death more cases of war crimes that still have to be established. but doug would just come, you know, just odd today already over 30000 war crimes. currently being investigated by ukraine's prosecutor are we hear of cases of tortures, of are committed on a civilians of those. so people who are already, you know, are trying to go back to those liberated places and they just find, you know, up dust instead of the houses they used to leave. i was mentioning easier earlier. it is believe that 80 percent of the city, including residential areas,

has been completely destroyed. so even if many settlements are being retake and liberated, it will take years to rebuild everything. and let's not forget that on a daily basis. russia and the russian army east, continuing to shell ukraine, particularly in the have keep region, particularly in the don barza and iran had a son and michael i of the, my watches in keith. many facts killing him by as part of d, w. 's, moscow. bureau currency, operating from the latvian capital riga. how is russian media reporting on these losses it ukraine? well, i think the russian st media was quite panicky when the 1st news came in of the offensive in and around hoc if. and we kept hearing the word on one of the prime time, a late night shows really a political talk show. don't panic, don't panic,

don't panic. and this really kind of, i felt, had the opposite effect. we also heard and one host which i thought was significant at the end of the a of the show say, you know, our, our troops are getting hit hard. we should all pray for our soldiers who are being attacked by hoards of ukrainians equipped with weapons. a western weapons and so we've heard these, these sounds now the narrative has shifted, as you said earlier. and now at the ministry of defense, the saying rush as regrouping and still russian media has painted the picture that the fighting is very, very fierce. and we've seen some very, very heavy criticism as well. one expert said that there's no way we're going to beat the ukrainians on live television. he said the only way would be with the mobilization. also the word war is falling, has fallen at quite a few times. which i found very surprising because in russia it's very dangerous to

call the special military operation a war. it can a send you to jail really. and the quote reason is why, maybe just a slip of the tongue because someone was nervous or maybe a, it's a on purpose local elections of as also just taking place in rush hat as it has this conflict war or, or invasion or a special operation be part of campaign well, you know, they're the regional elections. so normally regional elections don't have really have much to do with far policy. but of course these are, these are very special times. let me just pay the stage for sec. these electrons are huge. the scope of these elections, 80 to different regions, 31000 different positions up for voting. and so we had municipal elections in moscow, which i think are probably the most significant. we had governor, being a governor is being elected and we also had regional parliaments. now in moscow, many people thought it could be kind of a poll on the war. but the thing is that

a lot of candidates that came out and said anything against the war weren't allowed to candidate anyone any more. they were barred from running. and the like, the results that have come in, that we don't have all the results yet. but what we're seeing is that united russia, the kremlin party, in essence m as had a great suspect. and that was to be ex, as expected to just briefly, how free worth the elections would you say? well, of course you have the political situation at. first of all, you know, freedom of press isn't really a thing. at the moment at russia has turned into a very hefty police state, and that's the one side on the other side of voting and g o gall us and said that there were a lot of things that were, am very questionable there were the ballots found out that were already pre marked and there were reports that election observers had been harassed by the police and different people. cameras had been switched off and of what i find most significant,

the new digital voting system that has been implemented. there were reports of cyber attacks up to 10000 cyber attacks on this new electronic voting system. so a very problematic from a democratic standpoint. you know, he's killing him by an rigor reporting on russian regional and elections and the reaction to rushes, pulled back in parts of ukraine. thank you. now to some of the other stories making use from today. russians who want to travel to europe, who faced new hurdles and costs. last week, the european council agreed to suspend a visa deal between russia and europe, 2nd area, but stopped short of a full travel band. a right wing block has a narrow lead over the governing center left coalition in sweden selection. it's almost all votes, counted prime minister magdalena anderson says the result is still too close to coal. if the conservative book wins the anti immigration. sweet and democrats could be part of the government for the 1st time. authorities and pakistan have been

scrambling to prevent you floods. of the record monsoon range left one 5th of the country underwater. workers have been trying to reach a major highway embankment in one of the worst affected regions in province. they hoped to divert water away from the town of dodd to people. there are already trying to rebuild after disastrous flooding. brick by brick family. if trying to repay the house, still founded by flat water, was badly hit of the year. but take the kids, tell me father, build a house and how should i build? no one from the government has come to see us. look at my house is collapsed here. today, my children are sick and crying, and they're telling me to build a house from these salvage bricks is hagar. but while the family deepens the fear of more flat, if not over flat what that is fast approaching down to the authorities in fenton

back. if done, putting that in death, highly the mean transport ling to prevent flat water from entering death down there in fall across the country. also ends up passing through it in this right through the district of these still are on our doors until and unless these floods, these waters lead hill dornan's utterance are finally passed prisoner from this facility future waited in a depression where moved to another city to officers here make an effort to paint a dike. the purpose, to prevent water coming in at all costs. as authority, scramble to prevent more flooding. this family is hopefully get the house they are rebuilding. we provide them the shelter. they have been missing 4 days. you're watching the w news still to come is wells by minister on a diplomatic visit to germany, or yellow pete says berlin would be making

a mistake to return to the iran nuclear deal under the current conditions. at 1st, the trial opens today in belgium of 10 people suspected of involvement in islam as bombing attacks and brussels in 201632 people were killed at a time when europe was already on edge following a series of terrorist attacks. dw martinez house has been to meet one woman who witness events in the brussels, metro, and who hopes the trial will bring some closure. ah, the mile bike metro station and brussels. it has become a symbol of how an ordinary trip to work can turn into a nightmare. goals level like with when the bomb exploded, i immediately knew it was in his hand because he thought that he stared job and that he was on this metro when at 911 a. m. a suicide bomber blew himself up

a bit over an hour earlier. 2 other suicide bombings had occurred only a few kilometers away at brussels airport. all 3 attacks were carried out by the so called islamic state in mile that chris del java, nettie, helped others to get out of the metro to ruined and filth. however, i saw a young girl through the smoke as silhouette who came out of the carriage, who collapsed, who was injured, if wound really badly with her. hm. and there were people stuck out of it still alive. her history on kister jonetta is still has hearing problems, but she survived unlike 32 others from all over the world, among them sabrina ismael fossil who was only 24 when she died. her father hussein says she was following her dream by training to become a nurse. visiting his daughter's grave can sometimes be very challenging.

are happy for a bit more than 4 years. i was very, very strong for my wife for my 2 other children. but then it was plunged into a depression myself, especially last year because i no longer have the power to hold. everyone else out of pocket along seeing up psychologist has helped him. but not as much as the person who reminds him most of sabrina casualties. i'm always very, very happy to see her son. he is a present that she left us. thank educators agassi. he now hurts the trial on the attacks will bring those responsible for his daughter's death to justice. after 6 and a half years, it will now take place here in brussels. it's not an absurd time. it's a very complicated we you, most of the people who made yeah, thank themself. died in the attack. so you have to find the other people

responsible. so it's a long inquiry and you have to make sure that you do everything properly. as many of the survivors, chris del giovanni is looking at the start of the process with mixed feelings, was going to push the trial, went alleviate me from all the pictures i have in my head. on the contrary, there'll be other things added with everything that i'll hear and see my work for her. it will be very important. she hopes it will help her to live with the horrors she experienced. more than 6 years ago. is really prime minister ayella. pete is here in berlin, on his 1st official trip to germany. he and german chancellor. all i shall to grade to deepen cooperation on defense. but the pair remained divided over a policy towards iran. germany wants to revive the 2015 deal that limited iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief appeared says doing so would be a mistake. ah, greeted with military honors on his 1st trip to germany since taking office.

israel's prime minister highlighted the partnership between both countries, also regarding security sung will certainly say that the military partnership between germany and israel is an historical irony. i consider to be proved that we have drawn the necessary conclusions from the past to all fought under the military partnership that could also be in the area of air defense, chancellor shawls said naming israel's anti missile capacities. but when it comes to ron, this a key issue where the 2 leaders disagree shots in le pete, both one to prevent iran from obtaining nuclear weapons but differ and how to do their germany supports the nuclear agreement with iran. israel opposes it. da 1st. not until we are convinced that a functioning international agreement to restrict and control iran's nuclear program is the right way to achieve this. it is fine to move fast,

that fails negotiations with iran. we cannot and will not achieve the goal. we all share to stop iran from getting a nuclear weapons. she said that iran has, in any case, failed to agree to proposals from european countries on reviving a deal to restrict its nuclear program. he added that this would put any a caught out of reach in the near future. some sports news now and at the us open tennis fans were guaranteed a 1st time grand slam winter in the men's final. at what made spain's carlos i choruses, victory, so remarkable was his age and endurance. ah young sensation. carlos alcaraz had paid nearly 10 hours of tennis in his previous to matches that he showed no signs of fatigue against norway's casper root in a tight us open. final, it was sports entertainment at its finest with the teenager showing some incredible resilience. even if he didn't always make the point. and if you want to know just
