optimism and defiance. as the ukranian president visits recaptured territory, president zalinski says that his country is moving in only one direction to victory, but can the country can the military keep the momentum on its side and the european commission president ursa underlie and proposing a sweeping emergency plant to deal with surging energy calls caused in part by russia's invasion of ukraine. ah, i'm bring. gov is good to have you with us on this wednesday, members of the public, they have begun paying their last respects to queen elizabeth in london. earlier today, a royal procession brought the queen's coffin to westminster hall, where the late monarch is lying in state. thousands have now begun to file past the

cough and to say a final farewell ahead of the queen's funeral, which is scheduled for next monday. ah, this is the moment the queen left the palace for the last time, talked with the imperial crown. the monarch wore on brear formal occasions. queen elizabeth's coffin made its way through central london on a horse drawn carriage. at this viewpoint, many stood waiting to catch a glimpse. the procession moved past them at only $75.00 steps per minute. the pace typically used for sombre occasions. you know, i was very upset, saved suit such a strong cow from them. you know the, the crowd suddenly fell completely quiet. it was silence. and with the coffin pulsing by with the music that was so powerful. after 38 minutes the coffin arrived

at the hall, where king charles and other members of the royal family, attended a service held for the queen. the late monarch will lie and stayed here for 4 days . the parliament hall will stay open around the clock for members of the public to pay their respects. but the queue, which already started forming 2 days prior, is long. the wait may take as long as 30 hours cement, so most with oh, yes, she was amazing. yeah, so reactivate her. yeah. yeah, i mean, she showed humphrey for, for something to use. i think out your holidays wage to pay my respects to her. oh, moving in 2 parallel lines. hundreds of thousands of mourners while file passed the coffin before the funeral was held on monday. and we have complete coverage of

the events taking place right now with london. talk that i am joined here at the big table by d. w. 's and a clever and at the banks of the river thames is our very own correspondent, barbara visa barber. let me start with you. this does just talk about the crowds that we're seeing there. mean the, we've heard the police are preparing for unprecedented numbers of people who were going to try to file through westminster hall. so far a friend to what we seeing here is what the bridge people do best form in orderly q . even though this is a very long q on the internet, there is now a q trekker, and we could just see that it goes all the way back here to tower bridge, which is a distance of about 4 kilometers at the moment. meet people are moving fairly swiftly earlier. they had to stand here and wait for a while, but they're doing this in a really good spirit. something that is between somber and sort of

a really suitable for the occasion. and then you also have a little touch of a holiday mood. this was a lovely weather day in london. the sun was shining earlier, so it's still warm. and people feel that yes, the dead out year together paying their final respects to the queen. it's something they want to do, it's, it's a communal event. something that ties them to their country makes them feel rich. should you have this incredible cross section of british society or people a 1000000 suits and ties very establishment? year old people young people of mothers was very young babies, simply every one, all ethnicities. and so it is a great mix, and they all have this one goal to go across the river over the over lambeth bridge to the other side, 2000 parliament, where at the center you find westminster hall,

where the queen is lying state. now him and give us the view of i guess from afar. i mean, what does this mean? did this process of morning? what is, how important is this week? were the people that were seeing a symbol symbol there? it's very important not only for the paper, but for the country and for the country within an international context, even this a period of massive transition for the u. k. i and it, this is the, the sank bye to one more. and then later we'll have the kind of greeting of the new monarch and king charles the 3rd is already started to lay out some of the things that he's caused over, at least starting to lay out the tone with which he's, he's like, it became. but this sense of transition is huge and it's actually not just about the queen, we're in a, in a country in the u. k, which is a government this lesson we go, we've got an untested government and now an untested king. and although plans for

this funeral and for all this, all these are all these traditions all over the stuff that's going on right at the moment. all this, these plans have been laid out and been kind of age is what they couldn't have planned for is that, that the queen would die in the midst of a european war that the queen would die when we have a government that at the time was only 2 days, all right. and that the queen, which i in the middle of an unprecedented cost of living crisis, where people have to choose to heating their homes and eating it. despite all of this though, we're expecting unprecedented numbers of people to travel to london. the police have said this is going to be your herculean effort to try to keep the order and make sure nothing, nothing happens. but do we see people gathering? is this all because of their affection for the queen, or is there something else to play here? i think, i think both, i think the queen was very effective in enabling people to feel that they had

a personal connection with with her. and of course nobody knew the vast majority of people who are genuinely feeling very sorry and very sad about that. her death didn't know her, but they were able to feel something for her nonetheless. and that's not to be ridiculed, that's, that's real emotion. and that's very powerful, especially when you're talking about a mass, a scale. and, but in terms of whether, i mean, you know, what's really going to happen, what's going to come from it that remains to be seen oversee and, and, you know, where this will go and will really depend on hastings news. within the next few weeks. we have, have, you know, next week and then things will kind of open up into the future of going into the 20 what the next decade of the 20th 21st century with any tang and with a new government. let me, let me throw this to barbara. how do you explain just that this ground swill of affection that's being shown isn't all because of the queen, or let me throw this at you?

maybe this is one of these rare events in our modern society. now we're almost everybody on the planet feels like they can experience it together at the same time . a shared experience. is that part of what's at play here? i think that place really be grilled people. have a feeling of togetherness. here. people here do what? bridge people hardly ever do. they shut to each other while waiting in this very long queue that is now just moving forward. and it's, it's a sense of community of being together of being somehow united. and that is, seems so important it's, it's a rite of passage in a way that for one last time ties people together. the round the image of this queen that as honda said it, she was a noble in a sense. and on the other hand, she was known to every body as she was the simple for the unity of the country. of

many people, when we talked to you said yes, she was our rock. she, we could all of us to rely on her as she was all was there. and so she embodied really the sense of continuity and solidity of the whole bunch of state. and that seems to be a very strong aspect in people coming together here. they just want to be in a huge crowd to experience this together. now, something that we don't do very much on in our fast food and fragmented world, that's for sure. barbara visa in london on a clever here. thank you to both we're now to the war in ukraine, ukraine's president vollmer zalinski today made his 1st trip to the newly liberated city of his im, ukrainian forces recaptured that city as part of a swift counter offensive that have seen keep reclaimed thousands of square kilometers of russian controlled territory in the northeastern harkey province. yet

as russian forces retreat evidence is emerging of a brutal occupation in the city of his gym presidency landscape shakes the hand of a ukrainian commander. thanks to his troops, hard work, the city has now been liberated from russian forces. but there's been so much fighting here that there's not much of it left. there are no surprises. you know, that it, that's not shock for me. the view is where shocking, but it's not shock for me. and because we, we began to see the same pictures from butcher, from the toast to bided characters. so the same destroyed, builders killed people. and so what can i say was ukraine's ne encounter offensive has seen the ukranian army take back

a wide suede of territory in the space of just a few days. but residence here, a shell shocked what they endured during 6 months of russian occupation is just starting to come to light in the battle scarred city of ballad, clear southeast of ha kids reports of torture or emerging live carnival. they made me hold 2 wires attached to an electric generator to the numbers of the work, the faster you spend, courtesy, the higher the voltage and go to court. yup, of course they kept spinning it and asking questions. they said i was lying for profit, and so they did it more and you thought that it happened to some prisoners every of the day when the fellowship existed publicly with the ukranian army back in control residents, he long to put the dark days of war behind them and see the ukrainian

flag rise over the country once again. ah, if i were to pull in a corresponding economy, he is in ukraine's 2nd wardrobe, city harkins to night nick, it's good to see you. talk to me about the situation in to har. keep where things like there tonight we where you can't see much of such if behind me it's about 10 p. m local time. and there's not a light on anywhere here in the downtown. some of that is because people have left in large numbers. but for the most part, people are still living in that 1st mode of war when it was all about trying to prevent, make it more difficult for us to find targets, keeping like to a minimum hiding behind the curtains and basically leaving the streets as early as possible, it's quite kind of shocking being here. i was last here in april, back then there was still a to re fi in the city and you could hear kind of couldn't go more than half now without hearing it. that's not gone. but still you don't really have the feeling people here kind of believe that this kind of car is here to stay. they had

a false false kind of hope early in the some of that things were getting better and then things got a lot worse for they ended up ending the way they did. and there's a sense that russia could retaliate with more attacks on civilians. we had those attacks on the heating plants here and had given recent days. just earlier this evening. there was a check on a damn, another part of the country which was looked set to floods residential areas in community to the real sense that russia, the more it ends up losing territory and being cumulative battlefield might really take out those frustrations on brain students. and what did you make of the images we saw the day of ukraine's president zalinski erasing the ukrainian flag over territory that just a few days ago, a few weeks ago had been occupied and controlled by the russian. said he, was he sending a message at the same time, both to the kremlin as well, to the ukrainian people? well, not in the ukrainian people, but also to ukraine's western partners. who,

you know, as we've all been following, have been sending weapons but not on a scale that the ukrainians would want. it's pretty important to remember just how fast this volts has been. in basically, the space of a week, ukraine has recovered about as much search as russia was able to pick up the last 44 and a half months or so. that is a huge, definitely something that is causey extreme shock in moscow and a lot of head scratching and a lot of soul searching is not a criticism of pigeons kremlin from kind of imperialist kind of commentators in russia who are now asking for full scale mobilization to prevent a repeat what we've seen here and how to give. but it is also important here for when we're ukrainians, who are going through really tough times, who now of 6 months will often running out of savings for that that has come to show that ukraine is not an able to defend it searches, but also is able to go into offense and send those russian forces backing, they've pretty hasty defeat, leaving lots of technology behind him, often with the factoring manuals, still unpacked. so lots of kind of trophies there for you, transmitter and upset about the contrast that may putin who is very wide to leave

his bunk to leave the kremlin, let alone go and talk to the troops, ordinary people to very, very, very different images. that's for sure. nick connelly reporting tonight from hockey in ukraine. nick as always, thank you. well, believe it or not, the russian defense ministry is coming under fire at home pro war pundents and politicians are taking the television in russia and social media. and they are criticizing the handling of what is being called a special operation in ukraine amid the growing number of military setbacks, the war is increasingly looking like a losing battle. recent fighting in ukraine as some of the toughest, the russian army has seen so far, according to pro kremlin media and recent setbacks have sparked new discussions in moscow called for a general mobilization, are getting louder. well, in the political good girl,

the military political operation against the nazis and fascist in ukraine has turned into a full fledged warren. warren special operations differ radically. a special military operation could just be ended, but you can't stop at war even if you want to go. you have to go all the way to georgia. war only has 2 outcomes here. i the victory or defeat the other did it. but over the kremlin was quick to respond to any demands for a full mobilization. it would mean mandatory military service that would draw many more ordinary russian families into the war. president vladimir putin spokesman. dmitri pet scoff insists that such a step is not on the agenda. but moscow knows that dissatisfaction with the war is growing and those stirrings of discontent are even finding their way on to state control. television broadcasts more the but we have to admit that we've suffered a defeat in and around her cave. but maybe we need to understand it's absolutely

impossible to defeat ukraine using those resources and colonial war methods with, with rushes, trying to wait. it's war muslims. i love them despite criticism, the general tone in the russian media remains patriotic observer. say the russian public may be being prepared for the next escalation in the war. ah, let's talk about this. the school in our russia analyst, roman gunshot, ankle, roman. it's good to see you. russian setbacks and eastern ukraine, and this is something new. they, they've given rise to, to public direct criticism of vladimir putin and his war policy. these are things that were unthinkable just a few weeks ago. how significant is this change in public opinion? i would be cautious and there was criticism of putting and of this military operation before. and this criticism was limited to the social media. now we have

some maybe more criticism on, on, on russian state tv. but it's still under control of the kremlin. and we don't have direct criticism of looking to put in there. what is new and what could be dangerous, potentially dangerous for the russian president is that we hear more criticism of this military operation. from the far right nationalists, imperialists are actually support this war and applauded when this war started. so they are very unhealthy, and they're actually very influential. they're not so many of them. but these are people that are very passionate, and it also ready to fight in ukraine. some of them were fighting in the don barza in the past years, so it could be dangerous for him. what also could be dangerous for the russian president, is that the russian army, the morale of the russian army, the spirit of the army, could be damaged after these defeat, which is which it is. it is a de facto defeat in the region of hockey. it is

a limited defeat and still it is one, and we have no information. how that could influence the spirit of the rationale, which is not very high as we are here. we know that there have been cases recently, members of the russian parliament who have come out publicly calling for put into resign because of what is happening in ukraine. i mean, this is, it's very dangerous for them to do this. when we know that, do they reflect though any amount of public sentiment with these opinions? well, it is still on a local level and that criticism that you refer to. and we have to understand there is no reliable pull data in russia. so there are no polls that we can really trust, and samples indicate that the support for the med pollutants policy. and this war in ukraine is to a rather high it's, i would say about 70 percent,

maybe 80 percent in some regions. and there is still this, this is a small group of people about 15, maybe 20 percent, who oppose this war. and i wouldn't over overestimate the meaning of those people. it is something new, but it's still, as i've said, on the local level, what we're still not seeing is some someone, someone who stance someone who has respected someone from a higher rank to step out and criticize the president. when this happens then we can be sure that there are major changes in the us and society happening so far it's. it's mostly under the surface. it means rotor analyst, roman gunter angle moment is always we appreciate your time in your valuable insights. thank you. we'll still ahead, we'll vladimir potent pose a greater threat to the west if he wins or if he loses the war in you great. the w

jim sebastian will sit down with russia expert andre kalashnikov to answer that question on conflict. so that's right after this. sure. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world. sweden's prime minister magdalena anderson has announced that she is resigning her social democrats suffered a narrow election defeat this past weekend to a block of white wing parties. led by jimmy akerson of the nationalist, not sweden democrat, saw him. china's leaders in pig has arrived in context on for his 1st trip abroad. since the beginning of the pandemic. he's due to attend of summit of the 8 member shanghai cooperation organization during his visit to central asia. he is expected to meet tomorrow with russian president vladimir putin. the president of the european commission says a united europe will prevail over russian president vladimir putin in her annual

state of the union address to the european parliament. to day ursula found a lion and said that europe have shown courage and strength following russia's invasion of ukraine. she stressed the unshakable solidarity of europe with keep adding that economic sanctions against moscow will remain in place. now addressing energy concerns of european consumers, the european commission president said that a deep and comprehensive electricity market reform is being played among other measures. it would include a cap on low cost electricity producers. profits in these times, it is run to receive ext. shawnee nary record revenues and preface benefiting from law and on the back of our consumers. in these times, profits must be set and channeled to those who need it. most.

d. w. 's, alexander phenomena, she has more on fund alliance speech with the vice president of the european parliament in your state of the union address, or is it a funded lion laid out measures that are aimed at to helping consumers and company cope with the soaring energy prices? what do you think about those measures? are there already a good start? whether they are a start, but it was very little concrete, actually. m, what is very important is to, to make the composition of the electricity price different to what it is now now and it is oriented towards the highest price that there is. and of course, at the moment is gas. so we need a different system and she said that, but that we already knew from a speech a 2 weeks ago that was nothing new. the rest was quite vague. and yes,

we're going to see measures that supports the member states. all the others measures actually have to be agreed with the member state. so it is nothing really from the, from the commission originally. but among the mergers, propose is for instance, to cap on winful profits of energy companies. and from the lion said that could raise more than 140000000000 europe. so what do you think about that? i think this is a very good idea. some member states are already doing this and some are discussing it. so yes, we need this in the whole of europe, but that's, that is one of the measures that in the end, the member states have to agree upon to actually put them into force in the face of this energy crisis. many here at that's what's going on could undermine the youth efforts to live up to its promise, to take climate action. are you worried about that as well? yes, i am worried about that. we have heard that also today in some of the speeches that

concerns climate change, but also a social issues. we also hear that now workers' rights, for example, i have to step back because of the sense to economy. i think we really have to do all of this. we have to support people also work as we have to care for climate change battle it and we have to see that we get our energy system in into well make it fit for the future. ards, the stew, some sports now, champions league football return of barcelona is robert leben dorski, the former buyer in munich, star to his old stomping grounds. in munich, let me ask you continues to be a masterful goal score. but after a scoreless 1st half buyer and managed a pair of goals in the 1st 10 minutes after the break, the 1st a header from lucas hernandez followed by a nice finish from the roy son. a lemon dal ski came cloaks a couple of times. but byron's defence contained him well,

much to the delight of coached uli and novels. oh good is picking up a new job. he played a good game, going to sure he didn't score a goal, which i'm happy about to go to my mom. we saw in the 1st topic that he was dangerous. in the 2nd talk we defended very well against him. i saw him shortly after the game and gave him a hug. i'm going on, but he's playing for another club now, and i have a lot of other players to take care of. you don't be given was comfort zone is up. next, i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day i hope to see you then with awe, with
