12:03 am
at the will. it is an opportunity, as it was yesterday for scotland to express how much the queen at means to us and what she was late. the fact i just can't, i cannot believe the state of such they cannot love to deal with. and i think she really conduct played or heard people there will be a honeymoon period for charles, i think. yeah, absolutely amazing. to see our new paint it just for me to teach with a privileged it will remain to be seen at charleston command. i guess the same loyalty that his mother had also coming up a remarkable movement along the battle lines and eastern ukraine, a rapid advance to the territory that had been invaded and taken by the russians.
12:04 am
particularly reported during the retreat. russian troops quickly abandoned their positions and fled deep into temporarily occupied territories or the russian federation. melissa, this trend passes us south and then sir, is pretty high. ah, and to our viewers watching a p b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world, welcome that we begin the day as they bid farewell to their queen. a week of remembrance and mourning for queen elizabeth. the 2nd is now underway in the u. k. as we speak, her scottish subjects are standing in long lines quietly waiting their turn to file past her coffin, which will lie in rest until tomorrow. that's when it will then move onwards to london. queen elizabeth passed away last week at the age of 96. the final moments of her life and of her reign, they all took place in scotland. and that is where our 1st report takes us to night
12:05 am
. ah, the long good bye to queen elizabeth continues the centerpiece of a long day of ceremony, and scotland was the procession of the queen's coffin down the capital cities. royal mile. thousands lined the streets to pay their respects as the new king charles. the 3rd and his 3 siblings led the procession to saint giles cathedral where a short ceremony followed. for those who came out to view the events, the sense of history was huge. i just said it had to be here this. let me just on the do say in santa historical moment and one part of history and then i can tell my children, they'll tell their children one day. so it will just continue just to be a positive history. yeah. just a family history, life thing and obviously as america, really,
12:06 am
i'm here mostly because it's, it's such a momentous occasion that we can. so we are all saying that it's not like same to build, to push on. i won't be able to come, you be with everybody because it is, it's a mass morning that we're all going through and it's really saturday for everyone. this is scotland chance to say its own good bye to the queen. tens of thousands are expected to visit the cathedral to view the coffin before it is flown to london on tuesday afternoon. for making his way to edinburgh for the ceremonies, the new king was in london, where he addressed representatives of the houses of parliament for the 1st time since coming to the throne. in his address, he paid tribute to have the queen honor to pledge she made as a young woman to devote herself to her country. this vow she kept with unsurpassed devotion. she
12:07 am
set an example of so 1st duty, which with god's help and your counsels, i am resolved faithfully to follow his words reflected a theme which has been in evidence during many of the events since the queen died. a focus on the future of the crown. as well as it's past and my 1st guest tonight is murray leif. he is a professor of political science at the university of the west of scotland. he is also co author of the book, scotland, the new state of an old nation, and professor leave. he joined us to night from paisley in scotland. it's good to have you with the professor. i talk to me if you can just about the, the real, the human aspect of this. i mean, what are the scottish people,
12:08 am
what are they morning to night there in st giles cathedral? well, the morning, the passing of the only monarch, many of known and wild, social and political side to scotland is changed significantly over the last 7 decades. she has been the one constant, scotland now has its own parliament in now as its own political system is distinct from the rest of the united kingdom. we know we've gone into europe, come out to europe, what we've talked about and, and the one constant through this as being queen elizabeth, me ask you that the scottish people, are they morning, the passing of their monarch or, or the morning the passing of the british monarch, well this is all was somewhat confusing to people because of course, she is quina list, but the 2nd of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. but she's
12:09 am
also queen elizabeth, the queen of scotland. it's. it's a strange constitutional issue that you have one person who has more than one role. and when she, when she was in scotland, there is no doubt that she loved scotland. it was a very dear place in her heart. and she connected to the scottish people. and in a very distinct manner. and that's why when she came up here, she was a hollywood palace. she heard the garden parties. so the, our morning, the queen, who is both the queen of england, the queen of scotland, the queen of the united kingdom. but there also morning and queen who has a distinct scottish heritage. i'm in that state police and scottish life professor, how has scotland since of identity? how has that shifted over these 70 years of queen elizabeth rain and how many
12:10 am
people in scotland they still feel that they are british? well, it certainly is a something that has changed quite significantly and met many scottish people do feel british. the thing is, if you are someone have the, are stopped to use the will certainly see. yes. and you ask them if they're british about roughly about a 3rd of people will say, no, they're still tish a 3rd of people will say, well, i'm british. i'm scottish scottish 1st and then a 3rd we'll see while i'm equally brits you since you should not certainly been something this changed over the last few decades when the queen came to the throne and in the early fifties, it was really the high points of britishness in many respects and the united kingdom was that it was, it was a great, huge entity and very much seen as a singular entity. but over the last few decades, which seemed the emergence of scotland as a distinct social setting,
12:11 am
as this distinct political setting. and this, of course, culminated with the rise of the scottish national party, a party dedicated seeing an independent scotland. and we've now reached a point where scotland has its own argument and the scottish national party or the government of scotland. and the 1st minister is the head of that stock is national auntie that seeks independence or scope. and that was certainly something we never expected. and no one would ever have expected those 7 decades ago when the queen came to the throne. yes, we've seen a real change. let me take you back to the 7 decades ago and, and where scotland saw itself in the british empire is it, is it correct to say that scotland has gone from feeling like it was part of an imperial power to this 21st century since that it has maybe become
12:12 am
a victim in many ways of british imperialists. well, that is something that some people would argue, of course scotland is struggled of late. like, like, you know, the united kingdom is all to come to deal with it. some period passed and understand its role in history and its role as an imperial power. but, you know, you can study and read history to see this company was very much a partner in the united kingdom. it entered into a partnership with england to form the united kingdom. and it very much to engage in the british empire over the centuries that it existed. but at the same time, it certainly also the case that some people argue the utility of, of the united kingdom to scope and has decline and, and scotland. now, sometimes people argue that it may not be an equal partner anymore, and it wants to reevaluate its relationship. and this is why some people would like
12:13 am
to be independent. he would like to see scotland forge out on its own. it's managed to maintain a separate sense and so over the last several 100 years and wants to re establish herself as an independent entity on the international stage. but that is still an issue that's very much for a consideration discussion within scotland itself. and i wanted to kind of focus in on that this notion of independence and what it would mean for the monarchy. i mean, we've got the, the scottish national part of the s and p saying that if independence referendum were held, if the scots were to say yes, we want to be independent. that would not change the monarchy. and that, that would mean the, the king right now of the u. k. would still be the king of scotland. am i reading that correctly lately? i'm when, when the s and p lead force it's case for scottish independence just prior to the
12:14 am
actual 2014 referendum. we had a long discussion of scotland that a couple years where people spent a long time talking about the s and p largest laid out their arguments and on several fronts. it was, in many cases, a somewhat conservative with a small c, obviously argument. and, you know, scotland, when maintain certain states, a school elements, and one of those would be the monarchy, the head of state would remain. then the queen know the king. should scotland become independent in that continuity would exist? of course, whether that's what the majority of scottish people, one or a significant minority, what scottish people, one is a very good question. and you can find polls that say round about 45 to 50 percent escort. people would like to, to, you know, keep the monarch and an independent school. and we can also find pulls that report
12:15 am
a significant percentage. similar figures in some cases, would like to see scotland as a republic with an elected state. and it points to this, what you and i discussed earlier today that the scottish beef is not with buckingham palace. it's with what's happening westminster in london. and that connects again to the queen and the fact that so many of the scottish people have in still have this incredible respect for her and what she represented before we run out of time. let me ask you king charles, the 3rd do the scottish people in your opinion, do they see in him? what they were able to see in elizabeth says the is the short question, and there is no doubt that she spent longer on the throne than any british smart. she spent a long time being present in the mind and the eye of the scottish people and the british people were all. and she established herself is very much
12:16 am
a key part of the social structure, the constitutional structure. and of course, king charles is just starting out in his room and he has yet to be able to establish that in these next few weeks. and the next couple of years are going to be in you will be and i will read to the older child, but especially to stolen. professor murray leave the university of the west scotland excellent analysis, especially for a global audience that is hungry to understand the monarch monarchy and its scottish connections. professor, thank you. thank you. ah, we're now to the war in ukraine. keep says that its troops have liberated more than 20 settlements in the past 24 hours as they continue a rapid advance in the eastern har keith and don't ask regents. now the map here
12:17 am
that you're looking at. it shows the frontline 12 days ago and then yesterday and you can see the latest territory that ukraine says it has recaptured from russia. control that is in light blue. russia is dubbing is withdrawal from the region is to calling it a regrouping overnight. ukrainian officials, it said that russian airstrikes on civilian infrastructure had caused widespread power outages. ukrainian president zalinski says that russia is deliberately trying to deprive people of electricity and heat. and today, the mayor of her heath describe these strikes as a russian reprisals for ukraine's recent territorial gains. this abandoned tank is one of many left behind. in that panic russian retreat from the hockey region. in a nearby village vehicles and piles of ammunition,
12:18 am
testified to the russians. hasty withdrawal in the face of the ukrainian at fonts, ukraine's military command as pledge to push on. although the evening eliza lecount through the liberation of settlements from the russian invaders and the hockey fan done at greeting, continues. yet my story reported. during the retreat, russian troops quickly abandoned their positions and fled deep into temporarily occupied territories or the russian federation of all of this trend persists, sat and then thea was buddy heights. the russian command has played down the setback. and president vladimir putin has yet to acknowledge it and set, striking a defined note on western sanctions that could the good i see it will lead in us. but i waited. russia confidently handling the external pressure. essentially a financial and technological aggression coming from certain countries in that for them that ticket economic bullets creek tactics,
12:19 am
they were counting on having worked employee which is obvious to everybody and including them model it was actually the lithia feeling. it wasn't finished putting silence has not stop growing criticism of the military dismal performance that could turn out to be a problem for the president. despite a harsh crack down on descent since the outbreak of the war hooting can still count on the russian orthodox church to be a pillar of support. oh, you play them in a day because we live in a very difficult time. i pray a special one that was for the head of a state and supreme commander in chief vladimir without illegal h. putin. he bears a special responsibility. that's so bad, so bad yesterday. but ship the war continued to go badly for russia. pressure will mount on the leader who not long ago, seemed unassailable. i've worn out, we want to bring in justin crump. he's an intelligence insecurity expert in the c o
12:20 am
of the intelligence consultancy sibling. he joins me to night from washington, d. c. in the united states. mister crop, it's good to see you again. it seems, every time we talk of the situation for the ukrainian military improves and that is the situation definitely tonight at least as what it appears to be on, what does what we're seeing. what does this tell us about the state of the ukrainian armed forces in europe? it the week before that you sent me. combat power comes from 3 different areas, the, the physical. so what you actually have people tight gums, the moral, the purpose which you are fighting and the consent to say, well, you with. and i think what for the here ukraine's make wait progress in all those areas you, the more high we knew that that is growing in given us from the west and what they were able to generate people. and it's like you said, 2 islands,
12:21 am
where do i mean it's play here with this amazing operation distracting russians, hiding the gathering forces and fight hockey and then pushing forward so successfully, so false the, the receipt of the state. so i mean, the president zalinski, he knew what he was doing all along is, seems he's now for weeks, if not months, he's been telegraphing to the world that there's going to be a counter offensive in the south. actually that was meant for the east, but he, he said that knowing that it would draw russian forces to the south. is that what he's done? yeah, very much so, and i mean with the stress though, i do think the comprehensive in hudson is also real or they're one of the minutes. this is not just a fate or a play. there is real momentum that there is a way to, to, to see i think what they did so cleverly was missing courses. not having a lot more available than perhaps people had expected. i'm being able to assemble them in secret and deploy them in the east. you know,
12:22 am
i talked before about the importance and difficulty section on the time when you a piece of prevailing satellites. social media as well, is very, very hard for us and we'll keep that level of security. so an extraordinary ukrainian together. fiber gains with nathan division. massage secrecy, and as you said, it lines up and, you know, we are seeing reports of it's astounding. ukrainian troops outnumbering russian forces. i'm in this section of the front line by as many as 821. now, can you tell us how it it, how can this happen, get and sit offering the fact that when we're looking at the cities of what is it could be on skin is you which have been used as staging pose for the russian invasion. how can they let their treat numbers be decimated like this? all the said, the claims of 8 to one come from the russian side, and i'm pretty sure when you're on the receiving end, do they assault like this,
12:23 am
this making the most of what we call the new the war. every mobile will, when you overwhelm your enemy in time and space by just hitting them, say, i'm not sure they knew precisely how many people are facing on it. but this is all about breaking superiority in a small area to overwhelm the enemy. so it's actually ukraine's concentration of force eat with them and they could uncharged with an army force originate lot. so make all forces on that to break through the russian front lines, which were a bit of a shell in this area. it's where they sent forces to recover that were damaged in the war, and they've never really rebuilt. and then of course, once they go through nutshell, there was nothing behind it and had the russians a flap so often so far that it's been overwhelmed in that way. so it's all about concentration, of course, locally, and that's been so hard to even this and you use the word collapse i. i've heard other military analysts using that word today as well. that's a, that's
12:24 am
a serious word to be using when you're talking about this situation. particularly for the russian military, i mean, are we seeing a cataclysmic event unfolding right now for russia? yes, the within certain boundary, like it's a collapse of this policy, then she forces on this front. it wouldn't necessarily assist you. no, i think we should think just as ukraine's involved as far off that they can be maintained now cease to see ukrainian forces have to regroup at some time, trying to build new lines. so inevitable this route with. and i think the whole thing here is the change of time by russian commentators actually the open blaming of fusion to the 1st time really for these failures. and him being held slightly more of an account. now it's 30 days and that's the big change we haven't seen during this complex life or what russia next and how foreign farm is.
12:25 am
right. but at the moment they should hold of the south. they can possibly stabilize back, but yeah, definitely. now, on the back, the position which is not with it after the failure of the cave offensive, you know, we, we saw a purge of russian military and intelligence staff, at least that's what was reported. considering what we're seeing right now. what is that going to mean? are we talking about something of similar magnitude? if so, what's that going to mean for the military and what does that explain why we're not hearing much from moscow? yeah, i think i'm quite the russell just there how to react to this is cool and completely off god, they've shown that they just don't have a speed of reactions change circumstances to do with that structure to do with them . and the is partly to do with that early last is actually of let them really pull
12:26 am
back to many ways when they were both they were struggling and of course repeated purges not make progress otherwise their room with their time. i mean, it's already a find that you get so many fine. well, there's no one left. and again, they're running out of people to blame. one of the friends that previously been floating about criticism in many ways united russians need being mentioned as actually he's responsible for this is a real change. they think they know how to react and again, lies on whether they escalate. this will be very, very odd. there is that morning, of course, if russia try swiftly, it couldn't be collapsed, which could be something that you see quickly at this point. again, it may say the light may hold what they have. i'm trying to give the wind. regardless, it's not a very painful position. they may in moscow right now, and i think happens that we'll failure in the right now the employment that
12:27 am
