ah, solid by her son, king charles the 3rd, and the queen consort camilla. oh, ye threatens prime minister liz trust was confirmed by queen just 2 days before her death. i saw this house. she read a lesson from the bible. i will come again and receive you unto myself that where i am day, the archbishop of canterbury paid tribute to the queen's lifelong mission. ah, her late majesty famously dick head on a 21st birthday broadcast that our whole life would be dedicated to serving the nation and commonwealth. rarely had such a promise been so well kept. few leaders receive

the outpouring of love that we have seen. all thought of fanfare and the nation fell silent for 2 minutes with and queen elizabeth, the 2nd headed for her final resting place. ah, the funeral procession drove out of london to windsor castle strong feelings among people in the crowd. and

emotional and that it was it and weighed, celebrating the queen's life. it was tinge with sadness. she's no longer here that she's been my queen all of my life and, and it was a way of people coming together to celebrate her life. i thought that this is my last chance. i came here and i'm actually different person going back. the committal ceremony in the castle's chapel, where family, friends and royal officials bade their queen farewell ceremony lived according to ancient tradition. merciful unto them, the chilion prayers were said, for he knows we're all. if we all married he remembered for and the queen's piper played a final lament luhan

then a blessing for britons, new monarch, go to bless with a long life, health and own unto worldly happiness. the most high, most mighty and most excellent monarch, all sovereign lord charles the 3rd, now by the grace of gold, of the united kingdom of great britain, the northern ireland, and of his other realms and territories. king heads of the commonwealth defender of the faith and sovereign, all of the most noble order of the gotta ah, the final act and a new beginning for the nation and its new king charles the 3rd. ah,

it will be a corresponding jack parrot was in windsor and follow to day ceremonies, both there and in london. and i asked him what stood out for it's been a really, really significant day, hasn't. there's been so much going on so much for the i in the to see. and here, i think one of the things that was extremely powerful has been the music which we know the queen herself, had a strong hand in deciding both at westminster abbey, and at the commit to the ceremony. here in windsor, rousing angelic choral singing in westminster abbey, and also the bagpipes, the atmospheric bagpipe benz piping as the, as the coffin moved through its procession as part of the day. another thing is that i mean the king, his face, especially here at the commit to ceremony. here in windsor, the sadness plastered across his face with his in his eyes. he hasn't just lost the queen like the rest of the british public. he's also lost his mother in law. this

is a particularly public event. it is a private pain for the direct family. and another thing that was really significant and probably very reliable firstly to the public, but also to her life. the queen's dogs, her corgis, 2 of them were present also that her favorite pony emma. she was known to love horses and to love dogs in attendance here in windsor as she, as she arrived here. and as i say that something that is the queen of the life that many of us will never really be able to comprehend. but her love of animals is something that has always connected her to the general public in the british public . specifically, hey lillius, jack perez reporting from windsor at the age of 73. king charles is the oldest person to ever become british monarch as prince of wales. he focused on his many passions and interests from protecting the environment to supporting vulnerable young people as king. he is required to remain neutral on political matters and his

advocacy efforts will have to be put aside. his ex wife, diana once said, that being king would suffocate him is added his entire life to prepare for this moment. and yet many are still wondering what his reign will look like. ah, as i was then before, i cannot help but feel the weight of history which surrounds us to which since his mother's death, that weight of history has hung over the new british monarch for my dog. king charles the 3rd has had to lead a nation in mourning for queen elizabeth, who was on the throne for 70 years. but the new suffering also has to show the dawn his watch. the british monarchy is still relevant and has a future for the king himself. that means carving out his own role

as prince. he was known for his activism and in particular, his fight against climate change. he's also been quite outspoken on various political issues. now that he's had of state, charles acknowledges things will be different. my life will, of course change was i take up my new responsibilities. it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time at energies to the charities of issues for which i cur. so deeply. although charles, his popularity across the country has increased since he became king. he still has his critic oh, in scotland, tens of thousands of people lined the streets of edinburgh to catch a glimpse of the queen's herse. but bubbling under the surface,

our growing calls for scottish independence and that would have a profound impact on the monarchy. it will remain to be seen as if charles can command, i guess the same. busy loyalty that his mother has in many ways to keep that at bay. you know that scotland can have split off from england. ah, in northern ireland, support for the british monarchy is deeply divided. well, i just think he knows we're very loyal to the throne on a people spread each for ever because we are british. no, he's not. our king remembered on them for never the king. charles will also face problems overseas. he's now head of the commonwealth. a group of 56 members states, many of which were former british colonies,

as well as the u. k. he's also had a state of 14 of them, including australia is melacy, says hello law make his there have already sworn allegiance to king charles the government. however, has made no secret of wanting the country to become a republic. she is. and last year, charles was in barbados to witness it cut ties with the british crown. after nearly 4 centuries. ah, closer to home, the king has to ensure his own family presents a more united front. there was surprise and for many a sense of relief. when his son's, william and harry, along with their wives, appeared together following the queen's death relations between prince

harry and both his brother and father have been strained since he and megan gave up their royal duties to move to the us. there are many pressing issues in charles his royal inbox, summers, mundane as a leaky pen. ah, the king's every move now under global scrutiny, ah, a period of change ahead. let's take a closer look and bring in doctor helena from bismark. she's a historian and visiting research fellow at kings college in london. welcome to the day dr. fun bismark plenty of challenges await the new king. what's next for him and britain. well, i mean, it's been an extraordinary situation, really because

a britain has experience, a change of government and a change of mot within 48 hours, which i think as far as i'm aware, is unprecedented. so i think what we'll see now from june, i don't ones from tomorrow, which is the return of politics off the 10 days with more morning and a lot more attention that has been completely been shifted towards the new king. and the morning before the queen will now be redirected to what's been your prime minister and what her plans for government on your list trust promised to hit the ground running when she took office. how much has the death off the queen thrown her off course? as a matter of fact, i think it actually may have worked in her favor because it gave her breathing space. i mean, this happened directly off the very, just a divisive summer after the leadership contest. she was not in a position within her party. she was the leadership context test, but not that with the large majority. so i now for 10 days, she could,

of course there was a lot to do planning for funeral, but she could also focus on surrounding the troops and making plans. and now we're looking at the rest of this week is actually going to be extraordinarily important . rich politics, she is, as we speak, i think on a plane to new york to speak of the general assembly at the united nations, where she will lay out our plans for brittany foreign policy in the national relations. i expect comments on ukraine, possibly on china. she also has a bilateral meeting with joe biden, which could be complicated because they disagree on the northern ireland protocol. at the same time, her minister at home will this week lay out the plans for the details of the energy cap price cap mechanism. and the business secretary is supposed to do that on wednesday on thursday, the health secretary's 1st explain how the, the stretch national health service is supposed to cope this winter. and then on friday most affordable probably the chancellor will present so many budget fiscal

event. they don't call it a budget and, and that he's going to explain plans for tax cuts. so you really have the direction of the entire trust government laid out in 4 days. and that will be very little time for scrutiny and discussions. because after that, parliament, which has just been, you know, in the morning period will break into recess again because of the conference policies you hinted at it. britain is, are battling several crises at once. at this time, life is getting more and more expensive and many struggle to make ends need. still these days we saw hundreds of thousands turning out to bid their monarch farewell. what does that tell us about the role the queen played in her subjects lives? well, i think what we have seen is really a genuine outpouring of morning which may seem strange to people who live in under republic, but i think was really deeply felt. i think that people underestimate the resilience

of the british monarchy. and even if the child will probably never be as popular as his mother doesn't mean that the institution is such will be abolished. i. there's no doubt in my mind that this will actually not happen, at least not in the united kingdom, or at least not in england. and i think the queen managed to be a symbol of continuity for a long time. she was a huge part of what's normal and the united kingdom really has 6 very tough years behind it. there has been lots of political infighting, and figuring on division politicians, driving that division deliberately to their own advantage. that's been the bricks of very there has been the narrow a scottish in pitts referendum, which only natalie kept scotland within the union. and then you had a very, very heart endemic harsh look downs and a really high death toll. so this was morning for the queen. this was respectful to monarchy what you've also seen in when you look at pictures from older funerals throughout the last century. but this has also presented an occasion for people,

i think, really after a time of division and sorrow and solitude, really because of the depend on it to come together and to grieve for the monarch, but possibly also for other people they may have in the last few years, the cleans death has re ignited the republican debate and a number of commonwealth rounds. though. do you think we'll see the kingdom crumble under king charles? and well, you have to be more specific. what you mean by the kingdom. i mean, in the united kingdom or in england, certainly not in some of the realms overseas. i think that there is a yes, there is a chance that they will abolish the want to keep, particularly in the caribbean where it is. i mean, he's still at the moment still the head of state and 14 countries abroad. 7 of the mine the caribbean, prime minister over antigua has already announced that you want to referendum on the monarchy. what should be pointed out though, is that abolishing the monarchy is not necessarily the same as leaving commonwealth

. the commonwealth consists of lost lots of countries. you don't have the bridge mall, not as their head of state. and so it's also possible that they will bullish the monarchy, but stay within the commonwealth. so it's quite complicated. the question of scotland is also interesting because queen elizabeth was very popular there. and the scottish nationalists who argued that even if scotland became independent, they would want her as their queen after that. and the question is if and but at the moment, that's a hypothetical question. but if there were at some point a different, another reverend of it's called and became independent and how what would they do about the moment she would want to keep controls aunt helen of humphrey lock. thank you so much for your time. you're welcome. ah, you, as president spent the day in london, but before he left for england, he caused quite a stir back home. joe biden has again said that his country would come to the aid of taiwan if the island were attacked by mainland china. for the 2nd time this year,

white house officials felt the need to walk back the president's remarks, saying the official us policy hadn't changed. the commander in chief left little room for interpretation. would us forces defend the island? yes, if in fact there was an unprecedented attack. so unlike ukraine to be clear, sir, us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. yes. facing, not surprisingly, it was quick to condemn president violence, comments on taiwan as irresponsible me fill you in june. leave the remarks from the united states and seriously violate the one china principal may found they seriously violate the important us commitment to not support taiwan independence. general holes in china express its strong dissatisfaction and has made that known to the us side who yen jones yoshi and i'm now pleased to welcome doctor aron frame

berg. he is a professor of politics and international affairs at princeton university is also the author of the new book getting china rom, dr. freeburg, welcome. this is not the 1st time president biden has gone further than the official us dance on taiwan. but this is as clear as comment on it yet, is the u. s. strategic ambiguity becoming more strategic and less ambiguous? i don't think that a president by this comment was a garrath fees. now said this, i think 4 times in the last several months. but it also doesn't represented change in policy. the united states supports the maintenance of the status quo. us doesn't support, i want independence. but it also opposes any use of force to try to resolve the issue between the mainland china. so really what the president is doing is, is stating a fact. if china uses force against taiwan, united states would respond. it's not a fundamental change in policy. it's

a really ration of, or a reality. it what a u. s. military involvement in taiwan look like in part we see already efforts by the united states and this has been ongoing for, for years. but it's intensified to help taiwan strength in its own capacity for self defense. that 1st and foremost, but also the united states is doing things along with its regional allies to try to increase its ability if necessary, to intervene on behalf of time want to help it resist an invasion. that's the worst case scenario, but the u. s. c h to prepare for it in order to deter, to discourage beijing from ever contemplating the use of force. yeah, unsurprisingly, beijing is quite furious and president, she is under a lot of pressure at home these days for a number of reasons. do you expect to see more than just muscles like thing coming out of time? no, i think the muscle flexing, flexing in the harsh words, are part of a larger strategy. we're taiwan is trying progressively to tighten its grip on,

on taiwan, increasing military pressure, increasing attempts to diplomatic isolation, and to blame whatever it does on the west, on the united states. so massive military exercises last month. wayne done the visit by how speaker pelosi but those were exercises. i suspected the chinese would have undertaken. in any case, in your book, you argued that the west long under estimate at china are the times turning. i think there's much more realism now in the united states, in europe and asia, about the challenge, the china poses to liberal democracy and peace and stability in the region. and that's a big change and it's happening quickly, but it's not uniform. some people, some places are a little bit of added, some are behind and it's not sufficient. i think we are not yet to the point where we formulated agreed policies that we can implement to try to respond to the

aggressive things that john has been doing. why would the us consider intervening in taiwan in a way that it's not doing in ukraine, which has been attacked by russia from the outside? where is the difference here? why wind is taiwan wayne differently and ukraine in the u. s. books? they think there are a couple of reasons. one is that the u. s. has since 97900 so called time on relations act, express it intention to support time, want to help tie one, maintain its its position and to resist aggression from the mainland. and also committed the united states, at least to be prepared to intervene on its behalf. so we don't have an alliance with taiwan, but we have a commitment that's of long standing of a sort that we didn't have with ukraine. i guess i would say the 2nd thing is as important as ukraine is strategically. taiwan is even more so. and

a successful chinese attack on taiwan that, that invaded and conquered the island would have disastrous implications for the united states and its allies in asia. that would probably exceed the impact if russia had unfortunately succeeded in your grant. so the stakes are high and we have a previously existing commitment doctor in favor professor and politics and international affairs at princeton university. excellent. speaking to you today. thank you very much. and as our time for today, but as always, the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter at dw news and myself at nicole underscore for this. for now though, for me and the entire team on the day. thanks for spending parts of your day with
