12:00 pm
but certainly the king in >> but certainly the king in good spirits , despite the good spirits, despite the difficulties of this day when we saw those pictures earlier from balmoral where of course he is staying with queen camilla and being accompanied by lady sarah chatto and also snowdon earl snowdon in that car , very much a snowdon in that car, very much a family event there in scotland. and of course, more official events being held here in london. a little later. we're about to hear the gun salute ringing out over hyde park. about to hear the gun salute ringing out over hyde park . and ringing out over hyde park. and right on cue, as one might expect, as the smoke clears across . and our sound man , i across. and our sound man, i think, has probably got the microphone in exactly the right position hearing that . for those position hearing that. for those of you on radio. yes >> can all hear that . if you >> can all hear that. if you didn't, then there's a few more of them. there are 62 who or rather sorry , 41 gun salutes
12:01 pm
rather sorry, 41 gun salutes here at hyde, 62 gun salutes at the tower of london. that will be at 1:00 by the honourable artillery company. and then at 1:00, also the hold at westminster abbey. this is marking the first anniversary of the king's accession to the throne . he is the king's accession to the throne. he is marking the king's accession to the throne . he is marking the death throne. he is marking the death of the late queen in private, mainly today. might be able to hear in the background before the cannon is fired. >> the instruction is from captain amy cooper , who was the
12:02 pm
captain amy cooper, who was the lead rider in the procession which had carried the coffin of the late to queen lie in state at westminster hall. so certainly she is carrying on her duties. one year later, the you can see in the background many people gathering to witness this event. and we reflect that the latest yougov poll . say 59% of latest yougov poll. say 59% of people who responded thought the king was doing a good job in this first 12 months of his reign . reign. >> and of course , 12 months ago >> and of course, 12 months ago today, the crowds were gathering in hyde park and outside buckingham palace , paying buckingham palace, paying tribute to the queen who died 12 months ago this afternoon, the king king charles and queen camilla, they're not in london today. they are marking the queen's passing in private there at the balmoral estate. but they were seen a little earlier today
12:03 pm
making the short journey by car to the scottish church. crathie kirk, where they commemorated the life and service of queen elizabeth. it was around one 30 minute service and the couple did make time to speak to well—wishers gathered close to the church. they were accompanied by members of their family as well and tribute arts are being paid by lots of people today, including princess eugenie, the queen's granddaughter. she's said she's thinking of her grandmother today, forever grateful to you and always in my heart. but what you are watching now is this 41 gun salute to mark the first anniversary of the king's accession to the throne. well, let's bring in cameron walker, our royal correspondent, because we remember cameron , a year ago we remember cameron, a year ago you were at the gates there to balmoral on that historic occasion . occasion. >> and many people will be reflecting now 12 months on on that in particular, i guess the
12:04 pm
king going back there to crathie kirk a few hours ago . kirk a few hours ago. >> yes, it certainly is a very poignant day, mark, of course, marking a year since queen elizabeth ii passed away. as you said, we have seen the king and queen attend a private prayer service at crathie kirk, a short drive from balmoral alongside princess margaret's two children, earl earl of snowdon and lady sarah chatto and their children, as well as guests of the king and queen, lady sarah chatto in particular was incredibly close to her auntie, queen elizabeth ii. and you may well be able to hear the gun salutes firing through my microphone because i can hear them loud and clear from where i am as well. 41 gun salutes firing in hyde park and simultaneous early firing at edinburgh castle in scotland as well . all because it's a royal well. all because it's a royal park . there are an extra 20 guns park. there are an extra 20 guns fired. the usual is a 21 gun
12:05 pm
salute , which which tradition salute, which which tradition dates back to ships coming into a harbour , signalling that they a harbour, signalling that they are friendly ships firing all 21 guns and then because the tower of london is a royal fortress, a royal palace, they get an extra 20 rounds to fire as well. so at 1 pm. today 20 rounds to fire as well. so at 1p.m. today at 20 rounds to fire as well. so at 1 pm. today at the tower of london, a 62 gun salute will be fired by the honorary honourable artillery company and westminster abbey . the bells westminster abbey. the bells will toll, of course, that famous abbey for coronations as we saw in may, but also the late queen's funeral on the 19th of september last year. so bells will toll at westminster abbey in central london at 1 pm. >> so you've explained the question was going to ask you about the difference in the number of guns which is great as the smoke billows over hyde park . this is a tremendous of course , public display day on this day. but we've had the private messages as well from the family members . we all miss you , the
12:06 pm
members. we all miss you, the prince and princess of wales, who, of course, are attending event down at saint david's in wales . yes in an interesting wales. yes in an interesting turn of phrase, saying that they said, we will miss you, perhaps referring to their children, prince george , princess prince george, princess charlotte and prince louis, because accompanying that message was of the late queen surrounded by her great grandchildren, taken the summer by the princess of wales. >> i believe, before she died at balmoral. there have also been a number of close family members and friends who have paid tribute to her late majesty . tribute to her late majesty. today, her dresser, her senior dresser, angela kelly, has put on instagram . i will never on instagram. i will never forget you will always love you. i miss you , my friends. since i miss you, my friends. since then, angela kelly has actually been moved out of her grace and favour home at windsor. she was part of hms bubble, the kind of small pool of staff which looked after the queen during the coronavirus lock down and was incredibly close to the late
12:07 pm
monarch princess eugenie, the queen's granddaughter. she has also put a photograph never before seen on instagram of herself and her late majesty at balmoral in the grounds of balmoral in the grounds of balmoral at the log cabin. as she said , thinking of you today, she said, thinking of you today, missing you so much, but remembering what a life of service, love and dedication to everyone and to your family who loved you so very much. forever grateful to you and always in my heart. that's from princess eugenie, the queen's granddaughter. go on, pip. >> we can also see pictures of king charles and queen camilla a little earlier at that service at crathie. kirk very much marking the queen's passing in private, very much like the queen did when her own father died . died. >> absolutely. so the late queen on her accession day spent the day privately at sandringham . day privately at sandringham. that's where her father died , that's where her father died, king george, sixth in 1952. and
12:08 pm
it was very rare, really, that we would see any message from her late majesty on her accession day. in fact, the only one ican accession day. in fact, the only one i can think of is on the 70th her final accession day, where she released that now famous statement expressing her wish that camilla would one day be known as queen consort. now, of course, fast forward a year and a bit. camilla is now our new queen. and as for the king, he actually released an audio message commemorating her, his mother, the late queen, overnight or very early this morning , which is which we've morning, which is which we've been playing out on gb news. have a look on our social media channel if you haven't heard that message. sure if we that message. i'm not sure if we can to you right this can play it to you right this second. but also has chosen a second. but he also has chosen a photograph of the late queen taken in 1968. in the building behind me, buckingham palace, which has never been seen before, apart from a small exhibition in london. just after the photo was taken. so it's quite a poignant photograph which a number of the papers and
12:09 pm
on online as well. and as for the crowds here at buckingham palace , there are lots of palace, there are lots of tourists, as you can imagine. but people have specifically made the journey here to buckingham palace to pay tribute to the queen a year after her death because flowers and photographs have been left at the gates in tribute to her late majesty . see a bit of a contrast majesty. see a bit of a contrast , really, to the sea of flowers. we saw here a year ago, just after 630, when the queen's death was announced by buckingham palace , where buckingham palace, where thousands of people were gathered on the mall and around the victoria memorial behind me. despite the pouring rain, it's a lot hotter and warmer here today. but i remember. at lot hotter and warmer here today. but i remember . at the today. but i remember. at the time, because we had the queen, the royal horse artillery at some speed going across the park, which i'm sure would have been a sight that would have excited late queen, given excited the late queen, given her love horses and of her love of horses and of course, close connection to course, her close connection to the artillery troop . absolutely. the artillery troop. absolutely. it certainly was king street,
12:10 pm
royal horse artillery, very famous for firing guns in hyde park at various ceremonial events. and of course, this one is no less important . and i is no less important. and i suppose the difference with this one is that captain amy cooper, as you have mentioned, mark, she has been leading and ordering the guns to fire here. and she was the lead rider in the procession that took her majesty the queen's coffin to westminster hall before she lay in state for three days. so it's kind of coming full circle for all the armed services, particularly king street, royal horse artillery , who have been horse artillery, who have been firing guns here today and the other regiments taking part in the gun salutes both in edinburgh in scotland and the tower of london. a little bit later on today as well . later on today as well. >> we also understand , and >> we also understand, and cameron, there was a royal gun salute at hillsborough castle in northern ireland, a 21 gun salute fired by the army reservists from the 206 battery, 105 royal artillery . and in 105 royal artillery. and in wales, in the next few minutes,
12:11 pm
the princess a prince and princess of wales, will be arriving for a service in saint david's . yes the prince and david's. yes the prince and princess of wales, of course, were named as the new prince and princess of wales >> the day after queen elizabeth passed away during the king's address to the nation as you said, they're expected to be in wales and will be visiting pembrokeshire in west wales. saint david's cathedral is the choice of location , at least for choice of location, at least for part of their visit, where they're going to be attending a private service, i'm told, to commemorate the life of queen elizabeth ii. but i suspect while they're there , if you've while they're there, if you've noticed, with the prince and princess of wales the last princess of wales over the last yean princess of wales over the last year, they've been trying year, they've been really trying to engage with to integrate and engage with communities across country . communities across the country. and i suspect they're going to be meeting 1 or 2 members of the local community if not the vast crowds, i suspect have crowds, which i suspect have started to gather in saint david's. of course, the smallest city in the uk, one of the smallest cities, in fact, in the
12:12 pm
uk, and has a close link with the royal family as well. at the moment. >> thank you for that. as we see the crowds starting to dissipate from hyde park, but of course we'll be back to tower bridge and also the tower of london for the next 62 gun salute, as we say to mark the accession of king charles. but let's break away now to update you on the manhunt of terror suspect danny califf being intensified after police helicopters had searched richmond park in london overnight. police saying they found no trace of the former soldier so far and that he may indeed have fled the country. the 21 year old escaped from wandsworth prison on wednesday morning, to the morning, strapped to the underneath of a catering truck. >> earlier, the met police commissioner, sir mark rowley, said was clearly pre—planned said it was clearly pre—planned , but the question now was whether it was also an inside job. >> let's get more with mark white, our inside man home and security editor, joining us in the studio . and you were the studio. and you were following, of course, the fairly
12:13 pm
exciting events at richmond park last night, where clearly they thought that there may be something we had the park sealed off. we had helicopters , off. we had helicopters, floodlights and so on. they found nothing . found nothing. >> no, i mean, i think if you live around that area, it was something that you clearly were aware of. there were very significant numbers of police there . the police helicopter was there. the police helicopter was circling the park for most of the night using heat, seeking cameras to try to see whether this man might be hiding somewhere in this 2500 acre park. it's absolutely huge . park. it's absolutely huge. wooded areas, undergrowth where he could hide in. so clearly they wanted to make sure that that wasn't a possibility. but i think to be honest, from everything we're hearing, the trail's gone cold. and i think what they're doing now is just going through the process of looking at all the areas where that truck, when it left wandsworth, had gone on the
12:14 pm
route before being stopped on upper richmond road. i'd just checking all of the buildings is checking all of the buildings is checking bus cameras, cctv cameras for any indication of where he got off, where he might have gone, and did he have family connections as near to richmond park.7 >> part of it as well? >> is that part of it as well? >> is that part of it as well? >> yeah, he has family connections, kingston, connections, ones in kingston, but also connections to other parts country, including parts of the country, including wales and in the north—west of england. you know, it's england. and you know, it's certainly very likely, i think, that he's been spirited away, certainly out of the immediate area, maybe out of london altogether. >> the question questions being asked, of course, how could it happen? how could it have been engineered? let's reflect. it's been done before for by a certain ronnie biggs. been done before for by a certain ronnie biggs . joining us certain ronnie biggs. joining us also in the studio, author chris pickard, who is actually friends with ronnie biggs, who literally went over the wall rope ladder down onto the van, waiting and away he went. they didn't away he went. and they didn't get him. they know get hold of him. did they know it took him 13,000 days before he came back on he came back and he came back on his effectively ?
12:15 pm
his own accord, effectively? >> mean, it's just >> exactly. i mean, it's just like all again 60 like watching it all again 60 years later. it's extraordinary. >> 8th july, and >> 1965, 65, 8th of july, and what we're seeing is, is they don't seem to learn anything . don't seem to learn anything. >> i would think if you're looking at this gentleman who's disappeared the moment, he's disappeared at the moment, he's not done this by himself. there will been lot of will have been a lot of planning. he would to planning. he would have had to have that was have known the time that van was coming in, having it prepared. so there's a lot of information. coming in, having it prepared. sthink'e's a lot of information. coming in, having it prepared. sthink what lot of information. coming in, having it prepared. sthink what they're1formation. coming in, having it prepared. sthink what they're1formaticis i think what they're missing is this with working this man is charged with working for a foreign country for what he allegedly, he did. allegedly. allegedly, exactly. almost exactly. and it's almost certainly that somebody is paying certainly that somebody is paying to get him out before he goes trial. paying to get him out before he goes speculation is mounting >> and speculation is mounting that inside job. yes, that it was an inside job. yes, the driver of the truck seems to seems to be innocent , seems to be innocent, exonerated. but he's got to get himself underneath it. he's got to strap himself in. you can't do that by yourself. no, exactly i >> -- >> so he'd have had to have known when the van was coming that it would be the right van that it would be the right van that somebody had set up for him. i mean, that's what happened ron. he knew it happened with ron. he knew it was down to timing, that he was all down to timing, that he had second exercise
12:16 pm
had to be on the second exercise routine and that he would the routine and that he would be the walking exactly. walking past the wall. exactly. when came and when the van came up. and that was in the days before. more mobile anything. mobile phones than anything. you just had a watch and said, right, going be right, 3:10. they're going to be over the and here comes the over the wall and here comes the rope . rope ladder. >> mark, we were >> yeah. and mark, we were reflecting, sir rowley reflecting, sir mark rowley has indicated was indicated the question is, was there that there inside help that presumably be able to presumably they'd be able to check fairly quickly in terms of interviewing was in interviewing who he was with in the and so on. but the kitchen and so on. but that's entirely different that's an entirely different question he may question then to where he may have by now. yes have got to by now. yes >> i mean, was specific. if >> i mean, he was specific. if he thought it could be an inside job and obviously he's not going to rule that out. and that's one of the avenues there exploring. i'm not convinced that there was necessarily any help involved in getting out there. he worked in the kitchen , so he knew about the kitchen, so he knew about the kitchen, so he knew about the times that the vans were arriving and leaving the straps. i think came off the pallets that were holding because there was some suggestion it may have been from his mattress, from the plastic covering on his mattress. i what is mattress. no, i think what is more in terms of more credible and in terms of actually checking the vehicle
12:17 pm
when came think he when it came out, i think he will aware that in will have been aware that in that they have that prison they have significant staff shortages at time , at times, then perhaps the time, at times, then perhaps the checks are a bit more lax in certain areas than they should be. he would be aware of that. and i think what is more credible would be that he was certainly in contact with people on the outside who were able to facilitate his getaway once he got out of the prison itself. now, that's relatively easy to do in prison these days. they get access to these mobile phones. they're tiny little things that are squirrelled away in places which are ronnie biggs wouldn't have had back in 1965. >> yeah , and if he didn't have >> yeah, and if he didn't have one himself smuggled for in him, they share them about, you know , for some some cigarettes or whatever, you know, you get half an hour or an hour as currency, i guess. >> so he could well have been in contact with people from outside that, you know, he was then able
12:18 pm
to sort of arrange a location to go to once. he then disengaged himself from these military trained and that will have stood him in good stead. absolutely you know, he's an intelligent chap , that is for sure . that's chap, that is for sure. that's what we have been told from counter—terrorism. right. >> let's let's try and draw some parallels then with ronnie biggs, because he did actually have a support network once he got out and the criminal got out and that's the criminal underworld, this guy won't underworld, which this guy won't have on day . have got, but only on the day. >> ron been left to his >> if ron had been left to his own devices, he would have almost caught immediately. almost been caught immediately. paul him paul seaborne, who helped him get great get out, wasn't some great mastermind, he went the mastermind, but he went over the wall flower , who did wall with eric flower, who did have contacts, and one have the contacts, and one contact was the freddie contact was the was freddie foreman, people sort foreman, who people know as sort of godfather of these things of the godfather of these things . and he was the one that that same day got hold of ron and eric took them to safe houses and moved for months and they moved them for months around various houses around these various safe houses in in fact, for a while in britain. in fact, for a while they spent their time in bognor regis, places, before regis, of all places, before taking abroad . and i would taking them abroad. and i would have thought has been
12:19 pm
have thought this guy has been moved far quicker than that. but he's to have money. is key. >> key. n key. >> i was key. >> well, i was going to say, change clothes, all change of clothes, money, all those you those things that you pre—prepare and i guess in biggs's day you didn't have cctv, have doorstep cctv, you didn't have doorstep cameras, sort of cameras, all that sort of surveillance equipment that we've nowadays . we've got nowadays. >> same thing we've had >> but the same thing we've had here long takes the here is how long it takes the prison the and prison to ring the police and say lost a prisoner. ron say they've lost a prisoner. ron was amazed that they to ring was amazed that they had to ring 999 we've lost pigs. 999 and said, we've lost pigs. and set that. i mean, and ron had set up that. i mean, they assumed they'd be chased immediately. you know, go immediately. you know, you go over wall, think cars over the wall, you'd think cars would from the prison would stream out from the prison because high profile, because he was so high profile, high then they because he was so high profile, high category then they because he was so high profile, high category and hen they because he was so high profile, high category and they hey because he was so high profile, high category and they had were category a and they had planned a cul de sac. they went down ran through. if the down and ran through. so if the police followed they police had followed them, they wouldn't out. wouldn't have got out. >> wandsworth was category a? >> so wandsworth was category a? oh, point. oh, yes, yes. good point. >> something that >> i mean, so and something that people to look at this people need to look at is this gentleman trial . he gentleman was awaiting trial. he would have known remand on remand if he'd gone to trial and found guilty. he certainly wouldn't have been in wandsworth. he would have then been belmarsh and it was now been in belmarsh and it was now or to escape this also or never to escape this is also interesting as well that there
12:20 pm
is cctv that we know of yet is no cctv that we know of yet that has that has captured him . that has that has captured him. >> and you would think he would have that would have happened by how. >> now. >> listen, it's possible that cctv has actually captured him and the police have that they don't tell us everything. sadly despite my best efforts , as much despite my best efforts, as much as we would love them to share every bit of information, some bits they keep to themselves because it could compromise a line of inquiry or they don't want to necessarily tip off this chap if they've seen him, if they've seen a vehicle he's got into, there may be pursuing that as a lead . but into, there may be pursuing that as a lead. but if into, there may be pursuing that as a lead . but if they haven't as a lead. but if they haven't found that you can bet your boots that within you know hours days they will because they're trawling through many, many hours of cctv camera footage from buildings all along that route from buses , as you know, route from buses, as you know, passing that vehicle. there will be, you know, speaking to taxi cabs that often have these cctv cameras as well. so who knows?
12:21 pm
>> okay. very, very quick thought , >> okay. very, very quick thought, wandsworth. what on earth will be happening there now? flooded with extra staff or. >> well, at the moment, certainly that's true. but a bigger question about why he was there in a category b prison . there in a category b prison. that's a subject of an urgent review. >> okay , mark, thank you very >> okay, mark, thank you very much indeed. and chris, thank you. coming in with your book as well. let's reflect that we are to going india, rishi sunak is there for the g20. this is what he had to a short while ago i >> -- >> well, obviously, it's personally really special for me to be here in this job. it's india is a country that's near and dear to me. it's obviously where akshath is from. but i'm here british prime minister here as a british prime minister and that and my story is not that dissimilar millions dissimilar from millions of british people that living bndge british people that living bridge between india bridge that exists between india and the uk is very powerful. it's about those people to people links, those family links and it speaks to the incredible tolerance and diversity of our country. a country welcomed country. a country that welcomed millions like my millions of people like my family. i now family. and here i am now representing the back in
12:22 pm
representing the uk back in india. i think it says an enormous amount about our country that everyone be country that everyone can be really proud of. >> what do you want to take back in a couple of days back in a couple of days time back home from summit? >> how important it that >> and how important is it that there sort of agreement there is some sort of agreement as far as condemning russia is concerned, given that the g20 struggles to do that? yeah. >> well, one of the priorities i have being here is to highlight the of russia's war on the impact of russia's war on millions of vulnerable people around the world. >> and that's the impact food >> and that's the impact of food prices. know, recently prices. you know, recently russia has pulled out of something called the black sea grain initiative, which allowed wheat food to leave wheat and other food to leave ukraine. ukraine produces an enormous amount of the world's food. goes to dozens of the food. it goes to dozens of the world's most vulnerable countries. russia's pulled countries. since russia's pulled out deal, you've seen out of that deal, you've seen food go up considerably. food prices go up considerably. that impact not just at that has an impact not just at home in the uk, but as i said, on millions of vulnerable people . i'll be highlighting that devastating impact so that people of what's people are aware of what's happening pressure happening and put pressure on russia to cease attacking civilian in ukraine. >> but you accept that getting
12:23 pm
agreement at the g20 is difficult. >> look, the g20 is a broad group of countries and they have different perspectives. >> but it's still important to be talking to people, to be engaging, highlighting things be talking to people, to be eng'russia's highlighting things be talking to people, to be eng'russia's aggressionig things be talking to people, to be eng'russia's aggression andings be talking to people, to be eng'russia's aggression and the like russia's aggression and the impact it's having. it's still important to these important to have these conversations. may not be conversations. it may not be that here agrees on that everyone here agrees on everything, the g20 has everything, but the g20 has always that broader always been that broader group. but can be proud of but i think we can be proud of the we as the brits the role we play as the brits here highlighting these important our bit important issues, doing our bit to make a difference and of course i'll have lots of meetings with other leaders on issues that are directly relevant to in the uk and you relevant to us in the uk and you just saw the other day, i concluded a deal for the uk to join horizon, the world's biggest science research collaboration. that's fantastic news for british researchers , news for british researchers, but also for our economy. you know those types of things come through conversations that i have my counterparts at have with my counterparts at events this. have with my counterparts at events youthis. have with my counterparts at events you commit to signing >> can you commit to signing a free trade deal with india before the general election ? before the general election? >> the first thing to say is that india is going to be one of the most important countries of the most important countries of the and decades.
12:24 pm
the coming years and decades. and the uk has and it's vital that the uk has a close relationship with india , close relationship with india, particularly a close economic relationship . but when it comes relationship. but when it comes to trade deals , you know, i to trade deals, you know, i always said that it would be good an ambitious and good to have an ambitious and comprehensive deal with comprehensive trade deal with india. those reasons, comprehensive trade deal with indiwe those reasons, comprehensive trade deal with indiwe can't those reasons, comprehensive trade deal with indiwe can't rushe reasons, comprehensive trade deal with indiwe can't rush itreasons, comprehensive trade deal with indiwe can't rush it and>ns, comprehensive trade deal with indiwe can't rush it and i s, comprehensive trade deal with indiwe can't rush it and i won't but we can't rush it and i won't rush i've said i want rush it. i've always said i want to the time to get trade to take the time to get trade deals right so that they work for the british people. they work of work for the uk, and lots of progress has been made on this one, but we're not there yet, so we've keep going. you one, but we're not there yet, so we'vea keep going. you one, but we're not there yet, so we'vea bottomeep going. you one, but we're not there yet, so we'vea bottom line ioing. you one, but we're not there yet, so we'vea bottom line aboutyou have a bottom line about not changing immigration changing your immigration policy as free as far as this potential free trade is concerned . trade deal is concerned. >> that india is keen on >> we know that india is keen on a greater degree of flexible city around visas. is that the sticking point? can find sticking point? can you find a way through look, i think way through that? look, i think people have seen with that people have seen with me that i've able to conclude i've been able to conclude important international agreements that work for the uk , whether that was the windsor framework eu that framework with the eu that resolved the issues with the northern ireland protocol, whether we whether it's making sure that we became the first european nation to the comprehensive trans to join the comprehensive trans pacific partnership or pacific trade partnership or indeed the aukus deal to create

12:35 pm
620 priority either. ahead of the g20 summit in delhi, the prime minister's priority will be to urge world leaders to bring an end to the war in ukraine. although neither vladimir putin nor china's president xi jinping although neither vladimir putin nor iattend president xi jinping although neither vladimir putin nor iattend prersummit jinping although neither vladimir putin nor iattend prersummit , inping although neither vladimir putin nor iattend prersummit , rishi; will attend the summit, rishi sunak will, though, try to further the uk's prospects of securing a trade agreement dunng securing a trade agreement during with india's leader during talks with india's leader narendra modi . but he has not narendra modi. but he has not committed to having one in place before the next election. more on all of our stories, as always on all of our stories, as always on our website at gbnews.com . on our website at gbnews.com. thank you very much, aaron. >> so the prime minister, rishi sunak, has arrived at the g20 summit at new delhi in india. the annual meeting, of course, the world's largest economies. >> it's expected that he will meet his indian counterpart , meet his indian counterpart, narendra modi, later today for bilateral talks with the pair likely to discuss the progress being made on a potential uk india free trade deal such
12:36 pm
something that he has said he will not put an arbitrary deadune will not put an arbitrary deadline on. also of course, the question of russia and ukraine with sergei lavrov, the russian foreign minister there, and the prime minister likely to challenge narendra modi's position on russia. >> let's get more now with our political editor, christopher hope, who is there, having travelled on the prime minister's plane, it's going to be quite a test, a totally different atmosphere to a g7 summit . wmmw >> yeah, that's right. the g20 , >> yeah, that's right. the g20, of course, set up after the financial crash in the late noughfies financial crash in the late noughties to try and take in a challenge to economies, not just the seven big economies as there's no sign yet of rishi mania here. mark and because there has been a countdown on there has been a countdown on the india today tv channel wheels down for sunak. so when he arrives and there was a degree of media excitement but the place is in complete
12:37 pm
lockdown all this is like sealing off oxford street around here. normally this is a busy thoroughfare, very quiet because the 620 thoroughfare, very quiet because the g20 starts tomorrow . on his the g20 starts tomorrow. on his flight over, the pm told us that some people view him as india's son in law. it's a very emotional return for him. first time he's been back here for three years. of his three years. of course, his parents are indian akshata murty is indian as well. so it's a real feeling here of we have got this human, this human bridge between the uk and india and rishi sunak is trying to make the most of that. i should say, though, i'm afraid that meeting you earlier with you mentioned earlier with modi is forward till is now put put forward till tomorrow . so it's not today. so tomorrow. so it's not today. so that will happen after the first plenary of the g20, that will happen after the first plenary of the 620, not plenary session of the 620, not today. >> and rishi sunak chris is really playing down hopes of getting this trade deal, isn't he, even though negotiations have been going on for what, some 18 months now ? some 18 months now? >> that's right. i mean , from >> that's right. i mean, from the beginning to 10 downing
12:38 pm
street, they said this is this is a multilateral event, a 620 event of lots of countries , not event of lots of countries, not really about uk indian relations. and indeed , last relations. and indeed, last night he has told us it's not a given. there will be a deal. so clearly there's a there's a bit of friction around the edges because of course, what the indian government wants is more access to visas for people coming to the uk. and what coming over to the uk. and what the wants more access to the uk wants is more access to our for our companies to trade the uk wants is more access to omonr our companies to trade the uk wants is more access to omonr our c> russia still india's largest supplier of munitions and defence equipment . but so he's

12:46 pm
queen or the first anniversary of the king's accession to the throne. oh, come. >> it's both . it's the whole >> it's both. it's the whole point is the queen is dead long live the king. it's the extra ordinary smoothness of that transition which is, i think, the principal glory of our political system. if you compare the terrible handover from trump to biden with the extraordinary smoothness s and dignity and sense of inevitability, i mean , sense of inevitability, i mean, to think about it a little bit more broadly, i think it's taken us this 12 months fully to adjust our minds. i've learned almost to stop calling him prince charles. i'm beginning to do you still see god save the queen? there's a kind of slip when somebody says the queen, i'm afraid i do not think of a queen. camilla. no and similarly , is that something that rankles with you? >> no , no, no, no, no, no. >> no, no, no, no, no, no. >> it's natural .
12:47 pm
>> it's natural. >> it's natural. >> it's natural. >> i mean, she's queen camilla that she has. >> no, no, no, not at all. i think that i mean , it's law. the think that i mean, it's law. the wife of the sovereign , the wife wife of the sovereign, the wife of a male sovereign is queen. otherwise you wouldn't have needed an abdication crisis. >> and, of course, the king taking the time today to thank the nation for the love and support shown to him. and indeed , but can we just remember it is the queen. >> i mean, elizabeth , that paved the queen. >> i meto, elizabeth , that paved the queen. >> i meto this.abeth , that paved the queen. >> i meto this. she1 , that paved the queen. >> i meto this. she saidiat paved the queen. >> i meto this. she said quite led the way to this. she said quite specifically, i trust that camilla will be queen. and i think when we forget, you know, we slightly romanticise the queen. and i know this is the moment to do it. she was everybody says she cared fundamentally about the commonwealth both shall i tell you what she really cared about? monarchy the monarchy. she was a she was a dynast. she she her entire determined passion. and you can almost see it . entire determined passion. and you can almost see it. i think we dared slightly to joke at the time a deliberate decision to die in scotland and scupper
12:48 pm
scottish nationalism by that extraordinary thing. but she in every way smoothed the way to charles's accession. >> so if we take that on board, do you think we've had a year of unofficial mourning and the bells ringing now at 1:00 at westminster abbey to commemorate the king's accession this will actually ring in the real start of this carolean age? >> no, no, i think we saw it straight off. i mean, what's extraordinary the speed with extraordinary is the speed with which the king moved . the which the king moved. the clearly put it quite simply, it had quite a long time to think about this. and it was it's been about this. and it was it's been a series of very carefully calculated moves. my problem is i think that we've seen roughly three king charles's as we saw, the first king charles of his first accession speech , the first accession speech, the accession council, which was i am going to be a constitutional parliament. this was saint james's palace. this was it was the broadcast to the nation . you the broadcast to the nation. you know, i know i've got to change
12:49 pm
my ways. i am going to it was saint james's palace. and then of course, that extraordinary decision to appear before a joint session of parliament in westminster hall in which, again, he says he makes a slight joke. the speaker had already made it another king charles stood here, you know about to have his head cut off and i am a parliamentary monarch, so that we've seen that. king but we also saw a very different. king with this christmas broadcast in which he's all about this, the star of faith , and then an even star of faith, and then an even more different king in the coronation when he completely broke . and i don't think broke. and i don't think although i was covering it, i don't think i fully drove home the extent to which that coronation is wholly unique. it's the first time since the glorious revolution, 1689, which really sets the foundations of the parliamentary monarchy that charles was referring to. it's the first time that every member of parliament, every member of
12:50 pm
the house of commons and every member of the house of lords was not attend reading. >> and he is more of a frugal. >> and he is more of a frugal. >> i don't think it's anything to do with, you know, of course, look at the amount of money that was spent on the thing. it was that he wanted. and i think it's unwise to show a certain separation from politics. >> well, i was going to say the separate but especially when he is so active on political issues rather than politics itself. >> well, this is, you see, again, let me can we have a little bit of heresy? there's been an awful lot of awful lot of making very solemn statements. it sounds like a good book title. can we just have a bit of gb news is about a little heresy. let's have a little heresy. let's have a little bit of heresy. the king has talked a lot the has talked a lot about the things his heart. things that touch his heart. climate culture, community. but, you know, we have something that is in desperately need of nurture. and the king's attention. no, no, i couldn't give a great deal about the commonwealth. it's our politics.
12:51 pm
there is a terrible sense of britain not working very well , britain not working very well, but our politics is not working at all well. it's clear , you at all well. it's clear, you know, you look at the terrible financial crisis that we're going to what nigel is talking about, he's been very careful, hasn't he, not to dip his toe in? >> no, in? > no, no, in? >> no, no, it's im— >> no, no, it's not. >> this is not party politics. if you look at his mother, if you look his grand father, if you look at his grand father, if you look at his grand father, if you at his great grand you look at his great grand father, the thing they cared about most of all was the function of the nation as a whole through its politics. that should be his job. >> david, thank you for a little bit of heresy for the moment. more to come throughout the afternoon . we won't go too far, afternoon. we won't go too far, of course, case you get of course, in case you get carted off to the tower. but at the moment, thank you very much indeed. talking of broken britain, break britain, we're going to break some temperature records. it seems have a record seems the uk could have a record six days of 30 degrees and more for the first time in september, to according the met office. >> yesterday was provisionally the hottest day of the year so far. and it certainly felt like
12:52 pm
it. 32.6 celsius was recorded in wisley in surrey. >> well, the heatwave already breaking the most consecutive days. breaking the most consecutive days . record temperatures above, days. record temperatures above, as we say, celsius for as we say, 30 celsius for september . as we say, 30 celsius for september. but as we say, 30 celsius for september . but the weekend could september. but the weekend could see maybe a high of 33. let's get more with our midlands. reporter will hollis joining us and will oh shirtsleeves. good man by some cooling water it looks yeah maybe a little bit cooler here by the river trent when you've got a fast flowing river behind you in nottingham. >> but you can see probably from the picture on your screen right now that it's really starting to brighten up in the background. >> it looks a little bit cloudier as well, but it's starting burn off here in starting to burn off here in nottingham , 32 degrees yesterday nottingham, 32 degrees yesterday , but that isn't expected to be the hottest day of the year. it is going to be the hottest day of the year tomorrow. that's saturday, 32 degrees. the reason we're talking about records being broken is because of the
12:53 pm
prolonged period of hot weather. >> that's unusual for september that we're going to be experiencing here. >> now, the met office records finds that actually the hottest day ever in september goes back to 1906. that's when it was 35 degrees in south yorkshire. but until 2016, the record for a prolonged period of heat above 30 degrees was only for three days. we're expecting to get that six days in a row with the sixth day being in on sunday. now, the reason that we're talking about this, as well as the fact that it's breaking records, is because when you have a prolonged period of hot weather, people that are a little older, maybe they've little bit older, maybe they've seen few many mark seen a few too many summers mark their the types of people that their the types of people that the health and security agency starts worry about. the health and security agency sta|people orry about. the health and security agency sta|people withabout. the health and security agency sta|people with respiratory >> people with respiratory problems people with problems or people with cardiovascular problems. >> there is an amber heat >> so there is an amber heat health weather warning that's in place right now for most of the uk, except for a yellow weather warning, which slightly less

last until sunday, which would mean six consecutive days of 30 degrees plus for the first time in september. the degrees plus for the first time in september . the record in september. the record previously was three days in a row . this is gb news on your tv, row. this is gb news on your tv, on digital radio, and on your smart speaker to. but now it's back to mark and . pip back to mark and. pip >> aaron, thank you very much indeed. >> aaron, thank you very much indeed . breaking news this. one indeed. breaking news this. one year on from the death of queen elizabeth ii and a member of the pubuc elizabeth ii and a member of the public has photographed it. harry, the duke of sussex leaving saint george's chapel in windsor. it's understood he's paid his respects to his late grandmother. of course , she was grandmother. of course, she was buned grandmother. of course, she was buried at the king george, the sixth memorial chapel in saint george's chapel alongside the duke of edinburgh and her parents and princess margaret in a private ceremony back in september 19th last year. >> prince harry was at the
1:07 pm
wellchild awards. he is in the uk for a brief visit . we knew he uk for a brief visit. we knew he wasn't planning to formally mark the passing of his grandmother or we didn't think he'd be seeing his father or brother. but he has been seen apparently believe the photo is from this morning, leaving king george, the sixth memorial chapel in windsor. >> we'll have more on that, of course, with the royal correspondents. now for trying to establish what the details of that was, but certainly it does seem to be a private visit from the duke of sussex. now in other news today, the manhunt for the terror suspect, daniel kalief, being intensified today. police helicopters have been searching richmond park in london and using searchlights. last night, but police say they found no evidence or trace of the former soldier. so far and that they believe he may have fled the country. the 21 year old escaped from wandsworth prison on wednesday morning strapped to the underneath of a catering truck. >> but lots of questions. one of
1:08 pm
them is, was it an inside job? the prime minister says the police are doing everything they can to find him. >> this is obviously something that people will be focussed on. i want to reassure people that the police are working night and day to recapture the individual. thankfully, these incidents are extremely rare and that's i know people will be anxious about it, but working very hard to recapture the individual concerned. and the justice secretary has initiated already an internal inquiry to the specific circumstance around his escape . and it would be right to escape. and it would be right to just let that go through so we know exactly what happens. >> so the prime minister there speaking a little earlier. mark white news is home and white gb news is home and security editor, joins us. dozens dozens of officers dozens and dozens of officers now this hunt. any now involved in this hunt. any developments yet? mark, i mean, we're over two days on now, aren't we? >> yeah, 150 officers from the met involved in this. and there were more overnight, actually, who joined in the search of richmond park, an area close to where the route of that lorry
1:09 pm
that left wandsworth prison with daniel kalief strapped to the underside of it passed. so you can understand why perhaps the police felt they wanted to search this vast area. 2500 acres. we had the helicopter up overnight for those on television . you can see the television. you can see the pictures there of the track from the radar of that police helicopter. >> it's been busy round in circles. >> looks like a plate of spaghetti, doesn't it ? over spaghetti, doesn't it? over richmond park with heat seeking cameras on board. ground police officers there as well . our officers there as well. our producer, tom fredericks was there this morning. these are our exclusive pictures early on. yes got these exclusive pictures of the police operation using that quad vehicle, it looks like, as well as just normal police vehicles . that search has police vehicles. that search has been stood down with nothing found. and i think to me, it signals actually the fact that they went for this massive
1:10 pm
search in the park that really the trail has kind of gone cold for them. yeah, this search wasn't on specific intelligence. it was part and parcel of a systematic search of the route. that's not just taking place in the park there, although that was an open space and it was is certainly a big search operation. but they're doing it all along the route. buildings, buses are being looked at for their cctv. >> and then further afield, we got delays yet again at the channel ports . so we had, of channel ports. so we had, of course, the m20 closed for a while while the freight lorries were checked. i mean , one were checked. i mean, one assumes it would be a natural all suspicion that he's trying to get away from the country and get abroad. >> yeah, i mean, these pictures are awful. you know, if you are out there in 30 plus degree heat , but it's, you know , it is not , but it's, you know, it is not fun . but we are told that the fun. but we are told that the delays, especially down to the channel delays, especially down to the channel, are probably going to
1:11 pm
be there throughout the weekend . odd because they don't know at what time someone might if they are minded to do that. try to spirit him out of the country . spirit him out of the country. >> so they are they're checking vehicles. do we know like the freight traffic? absolutely >> there has been we're >> and there has been we're told, police drawn up over told, a police drawn up over dover as well. all right . dover as well. all right. looking at vehicles, trying to pick out anything that might be a likely target to search. but, of course , it could be any of of course, it could be any of these vehicles . i mean, the these vehicles. i mean, the thing is, if he's leaving now, there's no that they would there's no way that they would actually take him through a passport control at any airport or port. so it's going to be freight traffic and freight traffic is really at the ports in terms of those going on ferries or indeed the likes of the channel tunnel. so in the backs of lorries, in vans , in backs of lorries, in vans, in the boot of a car, whatever it might be, all that's going to have to be checked . have to be checked. >> and what do we know now about the growing that this the growing suspicion that this was an inside job? huge element of pre—planning as well.
1:12 pm
>> well , of pre—planning as well. >> well, certainly pre—planned. >> well, certainly pre—planned. >> the metropolit police commissioner speaking this morning said that , of course, it morning said that, of course, it was pre—planned. you can't just organise this with the straps and everything like that. so but the pre—planning could have been him . you know, he could have him. you know, he could have done most of the pre—planning of the escape himself. but i think on the outside it's becoming increasingly clear that there must have been other people that were able to take him, get him out of the area . but they are out of the area. but they are clearly , the met commissioner clearly, the met commissioner said, going to look at whether other prisoners might have been involved in aiding his escape, whether prison officers might have been involved. he wouldn't go into details about where the straps came from. but we know that daniel khalifa, as part of his job, would load and unload these trucks that came into the kitchen and of course, anybody that has seen delivery trucks with these big pilots , this with these big pilots, this they're all held down by strapping and the lorries often
1:13 pm
have other loose strapping in the back, although there was one suggestion it may have been from the plastic covering of his mattress. >> i mean, either it's >> i mean, either way, it's pretty know , ingenious in pretty you know, ingenious in the he's got out. one thing the way he's got out. one thing that's been interesting that the way he's got out. one thing that' came] interesting that the way he's got out. one thing that' came] in veryting that the way he's got out. one thing that' came] in very quickly that the way he's got out. one thing that' came] in very quickly with they came up very quickly with they came up very quickly with the cctv pictures of the delivery truck. no images of someone looking like him or appearing to look like him. and when we see these television programs where they scour all the cameras , do you think those the cameras, do you think those images are there and they're sitting on them or would they have those out pretty quickly? >> so it's very possible that they're images. they're sitting on the images. if have, instance , been if they have, for instance, been able to determine that daniel kalief got off at a certain point and maybe got onto a certain vehicle or went through a building or something like that, they might feel that it's more evidence evidentially advantageous as it's a operationally advantageous us for them to just not release that information while they pursue those leads. you know, that if in a day or so's time we
1:14 pm
suddenly get cctv of him of a vehicle , he might have gone into vehicle, he might have gone into that. that's because the police have , you know, tried pursued have, you know, tried pursued that particular avenue. they haven't got anywhere with it. so then it's the media and it's the pubuc then it's the media and it's the public who can help them in that endeavour. endeavoun >> and he was when he escaped in a so—called chef's uniform, which would have been quite noticeable , although the noticeable, although the likelihood is if he had help on the outside, he would have changed quickly. yeah i mean, you that. you say that. >> mean , i think he was in >> i mean, i think if he was in you know, the sort of that cartoon esque type prison lag's uniform, he would have been with the arrows on it. yeah, but actually a chef's uniform wandering around in london. you just think he'd come from a pub or a restaurant or whatever, on duty. i've often seen , you know, duty. i've often seen, you know, people going about wearing, you know, chef's garb in the early hours of the morning in west london. >> yeah, but that's it might not
1:15 pm
be as a story. >> it might not be as out of place as you think. it's really what i'm okay. >> let's the thoughts >> well, let's look the thoughts now retired senior officer now of retired senior officer with sussex police with their investigative branch and also former commissioner investigative branch and also formerunderhill commissioner investigative branch and also former underhill comn us. ioner martin underhill can join us. martin, time . we martin, thanks for your time. we were questioning there were just questioning mark there about, cctv , the about, you know, the cctv, the doorbell cameras and so on that we see featured these various we see featured in these various tv when they're tv programs. when they're trying to it is to track down people. it is interesting that we've seen the van, but seen nothing of him . van, but seen nothing of him. yes hi, mark. hi. >> pit it is interesting. >> pit it is interesting. >> and as mark just said, the likelihood of the police holding on to images that they gain information from is probably quite high. they will only release something that will help the public locate this man. but if you look at previous prison escapes, high profile ones like this, he's either gone within 24 hours or he's hiding low and that makes it really difficult for the police because if he's hiding low, because everybody is looking for this guy , he's quite looking for this guy, he's quite distinctive in his appearance .
1:16 pm
distinctive in his appearance. and we just heard from mark that all the ports are gridlocked and the police would normally use informants to trace that person while they're in hiding. >> but if he's part of a terror cell, which, you know, the charges suggest he is and he's ex—army, he's going to be very hard to trace or informants and he's be very hard to he's going to be very hard to trace anyway because of his training. >> this is headache for >> so this is a big headache for the government. week after the the government. a week after the german courts refused to release someone to this country because the person's human rights would be destroyed inside our crumbling prisons, it's not a good week for the justice to. secretary >> and what do you make of the comments that have been made about the lack of security at wandsworth, the understaffing , wandsworth, the understaffing, the fact that he should have beenin the fact that he should have been in a category, a prison? what on was he doing? a what on earth was he doing? a category b prison ? category b prison? >> well , i category b prison? >> well, i mean, i've been on this program before talking about this policing's held under about this policing's held under a spotlight. >> and if something goes wrong, things quickly. things happen very quickly. >> the prison service has been
1:17 pm
crumbling for the last decade. >> it's under—resourced. it's underfunded . the of the prison underfunded. the of the prison service said that wandsworth should be shut and let alone this hasn't happened sooner. i am surprised , hasn't happened am surprised, hasn't happened soonen am surprised, hasn't happened sooner. and of course we then got the debate's been going on for two days about why is a terrorist aspect is also an army employee being kept in the prison. wandsworth is just a nightmare and um, the government just seemed to get away with all of these repeated blunders inside the prison service . if it inside the prison service. if it was policing or it was immigration, then the public would be on it straight away and the would have the government would have to act. have crumbling act. but we have a crumbling prison service . we have a prison service. we have a crumbling probation service, and the government just seemed to get scandal get away with scandal after scandal. the reality is, scandal. but the reality is, i don't i can't see this guy being found in the next couple of days because he would have either disappeared straight away, particularly helped. particularly if he was helped. and discussed that and you've just discussed that or hiding because
1:18 pm
or he's gone into hiding because he knows if he tries to go to any this country, he any port in this country, he will found in week's time. will be found in a week's time. that'll different story. that'll be a different story. >> what do the police >> so what do the police do next? mind, you next? bearing in mind, as you say, expertise he may have say, the expertise he may have gained member of the gained as a member of the military, he will know that even burner phones can be traced . he burner phones can be traced. he will known associate will know that known associate mates and family will be closely monitored . so clearly, he's monitored. so clearly, he's maybe got the advantage at the moment , i maybe got the advantage at the moment, i would say he's very much got the advantage, partly because of the charges he faces. >> and he's part of cell, >> and if he's part of a cell, they are very insular. you won't get informants into that group and also army training, and and also his army training, and that's why i think i was hearing you during the 1:00 news you earlier during the 1:00 news talking that's why talking about this. that's why i think concentrated on think they've concentrated on richmond because he is richmond park, because he is obviously good working obviously very good at working in undergrowth and in the in the undergrowth and in the countryside. part of his training in the army. but i do i do feel for the 150 police officers now because they're normal lines of enquiry to get someone like this have almost extinguished because of the nature of this person . yeah. and nature of this person. yeah. and every day this carries on. the

christopher hope shortly. but first, this is what the prime minister had to say a little earlier . oh, minister had to say a little earlier. oh, no. we can go to christopher hope, who new christopher hope, who is in new delhi for us. good to see you there. christopher so i think there. christopher so i think the prime minister has been saying in the last few minutes that will use the g20 summit that he will use the g20 summit to put pressure on moscow. and this concern means their blockade of grain out of ukraine. yeah that's his big focus. >> this blockade of grain coming out of ukraine. remember, of course , ukraine was always the course, ukraine was always the breadbasket of europe. it has this amazing production line of grain that then flows down into africa. and there's so much to help people there. and he's the big worry that mr sunak has is the way that russia is stopping this grain, getting out of the ports. and that's his big concern. so that's one of his big areas he's trying to push the idea of isolationism on russia. president putin is not here again, here for the second 620 . n0 here again, here for the second 620 . no surprise there g20 running. no surprise there because of the illegal war in
1:39 pm
ukraine. his foreign secretary sergey lavrov, is here. and the whole message being pushed by mr sunakis whole message being pushed by mr sunak is one of isolation ism and that point being made probably behind closed doors when mr sunak meets with president with prime minister modi of india tomorrow . modi of india tomorrow. >> and let's just talk about that , because clearly , that, because clearly, originally back in boris johnson's day , they were johnson's day, they were championing this free trade deal championing this free trade deal, october 20th, 22 was supposed to be the day that it was all signed off a post—brexit trade deal. the flags were waving all to coincide with celebrations of the hindu festival of diwali. now we understand that these bilateral talks are even on the fringes of the summit. what's gone wrong ? the summit. what's gone wrong? >> that's right. well nothing's gone wrong. i think it's doing a deal. gone wrong. i think it's doing a deal . mark, last night the prime deal. mark, last night the prime minister told us on the flight over from london that a deal was not a given. and today he's told reporters in a broadcast clip played out in gb news that there may not be a deal by the next
1:40 pm
election . now, some people election. now, some people thought there might a deal by thought there might be a deal by christmas, looking christmas, but that's looking further and further away. we were led the beginning to were led from the beginning to believe a 620 summit, believe this is a 620 summit, a multilateral affair, not a bilateral deal for india and uk to agree a deal. there's tensions around visas and how many visas india may get if they if they do a deal and then access to the massive indian market for britain. so there are there are stumbling points and there's no deal arranged yet. i think this is all part of the negotiation, but as of today, no deal before the election, the pm has hinted at. >> well, is it in fact this issue of work and student visas and what suella braverman has been behind scenes been saying behind the scenes that migration is a major issue for this government? yeah the big concern the government's got is you can't just give out loads of student visas attached to a trade deal. >> they've got to be business visas that brings down visas and that that brings down the of how many be the scope of how many may be issued to a to a lot less than student visas and indeed allowing dependent of students
1:41 pm
allowing dependent s of students to here and all the to come over here and all the actual net migration that carries with with it that's the tension they have this idea that suella talked last suella braverman she talked last october to net migration october to get net migration down to tens of thousands. well it's hundreds thousands it's hundreds of thousands at the that's the the moment and that's where the tension for government . tension is for the government. >> and just update us on what else would be happening. we understand that the prime minister met youngsters, schoolchildren at the british council talking about that moonshot. course , that's right. >> india, of course, have done some amazing work in space in recent weeks ahead of the g20 . recent weeks ahead of the g20. akshata murty. the pm's indian wife played football barefoot with some young, young, young students at the british council. here and it is quite it's interesting atmosphere here in india. it is quite locked down here in delhi. as you can see behind me, there's not much happening, although this is a very busy thoroughfare. rishi mania yet to be seen by us. mania is yet to be seen by us. but certainly in the media there was a countdown clock counting
1:42 pm
down the minutes before the sunak arrived earlier sunak plane arrived earlier today. there excitement . today. so there is excitement. and for personally for rishi sunak , he said to he is known sunak, he said to us he is known as as india's son in law. so he is almost a physical manifestation of the physical link . the manifestation of the physical link. the human bridge between britain and india. >> christopher, thanks very much for updating us there in new delhi . of course, a busy couple delhi. of course, a busy couple of days ahead. thanks very much. >> return to buckingham >> let's return to buckingham palace and speak to our royal correspondent, walker . correspondent, cameron walker. cameron, we want to get your your the years your reflections on the years anniversary of queen elizabeth ii passing. but first of all, let's just talk about prince harry, because he has now been picked orchard visiting saint george's chapel, windsor, to pay his respects to his grandmother. he's on a very quick visit to the uk, but he was spotted . at the uk, but he was spotted. at >> yes, he was spotted. and the photograph is doing the rounds on social media. saint george's chapel on social media. saint george's chapel, of course, is where queen elizabeth, queen elizabeth
1:43 pm
ii, has her final resting place. she's buried in king george vi memorial chapel alongside her parents, prince philip and princess margaret . her sister's princess margaret. her sister's ashes are also buried in that chapel. so prince harry has been pictured visiting that building. this morning. and from my understanding, another of other members of the royal family have also made private visits to that chapel this morning to pay their respects and reflect on the fact that it respects and reflect on the fact thatitis respects and reflect on the fact that it is a year since we lost queen elizabeth. the second, of course , prince andrew. he lives course, prince andrew. he lives very close to saint george's chapelin very close to saint george's chapel in windsor at royal lodge. no confirmation as to whether or not he went to visit his mother's grave, however. nonetheless i do understand that some members of the royal family have prince harry have been there and prince harry is fly germany is expected to fly to germany either today or tomorrow for the start of his invictus games in dusseldorf. so, yeah, very busy few days for prince harry, but one of quiet reflection today by the looks of it. >> yeah. and certainly we understand the prince and princess of wales have arrived
1:44 pm
at david's cathedral at saint david's cathedral to mark anniversary with mark the anniversary with a small private service there. but i'm thinking exactly . this i'm just thinking exactly. this time a year ago, cameron , i was time a year ago, cameron, i was speaking to outside the gates at balmoral. we heard the sirens. we saw the blacked out range rovers coming and going at that time, we knew that things weren't looking that weren't looking good at that stage . stage. >> yes, mark, actually , i think >> yes, mark, actually, i think i believe that was the day after because i remember sitting with you in the studio. i was meant to be on a day off, actually, and obviously rushed the and obviously rushed to the studio as soon as that first statement and we were statement came out. and we were slowly bad slowly getting more and more bad news, heard news, really. we first heard that members royal family that members of the royal family were dropping were essentially dropping everything and making way everything and making their way up scotland to be with up to scotland to be with the queen. then we heard that prince harry and meghan markle would be flying scotland to join flying up to scotland to join family . then harry and family members. then harry and meghan's team backtracked and said it was only prince harry who'd be flying to scotland. who'd be flying up to scotland. but signs suggested but all these signs suggested that serious was that something very serious was happening at balmoral. and then, of course, we got the very sad
1:45 pm
news at 630. and i was actually in luton airport trying to get one of the last flights to scotland , to aberdeen, so i scotland, to aberdeen, so i could speak to you the following day from outside the gates of balmoral castle. but when the statement from buckingham palace dropped in my emails at 630, it was surreal because there was a couple of minutes delayed between me getting it and everyone receiving it on their phones via various news alerts. and you could just see the passengers faces all across the terminal just drop in disbelief. and people on the plane were crying. it was really surreal crying. it was a really surreal day that i'm certainly not going to a hurry. to forget in a hurry. >> and we remember that harry was trying make it, i think, was trying to make it, i think, to obviously to aberdeen airport. obviously the to balmoral to make the closest to balmoral to make it in time . and failed. one it in time. and he failed. one wonders again that maybe he's reflecting today, a year on after this visit to the chapel at windsor. well now i have plane was scrambled to take prince william prince andrew prince william prince andrew prince edward and then sophie
1:46 pm
wessex now of course, duchess of edinburgh up to aberdeen. >> and unfortunately , they also >> and unfortunately, they also didn't get there in time to say goodbye because their plane landed after 3:10 into aberdeen, which is the time from the queen's death certificate that it states that she died . at that it states that she died. at that time, prince harry was on a separate private plane flying up about an hour or two delayed compared to the other members of the royal family, there's some speculation as to why he wasn't on the same plane in. however, we don't have confirmation as to that. but what we do know is that. but what we do know is that at the queen's bedside on that at the queen's bedside on that day was the then prince charles, now king camilla and princess anne. so she had two of her oldest children by her bedside that day at balmoral . bedside that day at balmoral. >> and today, the queen's son, now king charles, is remembering his mother privately at balmoral. apart from us seeing him at that 30 minute service, this morning at a church nearby
1:47 pm
i >> -- >> yes. so the king and queen, it was kept quite under wraps until this morning, actually. they attended a private prayer service at crathie kirk, that's a very balmoral a church very near balmoral castle , where the late queen was castle, where the late queen was a frequent visitor and worshipped there . every sunday, worshipped there. every sunday, the king and queen were also joined by a few family members. lady sarah chatto and the earl of snowdon. that is the late queen's niece and nephew, princess margaret's two children, and lady sarah chatto and earl snowdon's children were also there alongside lady sarah chatto , her husband as well. so chatto, her husband as well. so it was a small, intimate family affair . but it was a small, intimate family affair. but as you say, a vast majority of today, the king and queen will be spending privately reflecting on the balmoral estate and perhaps in the castle itself where the queen passed away. as for the prince and princess of wales, they have arrived at saint david's cathedral for a short private service and we believe at some point the princess of wales is going to be laying a bouquet of
1:48 pm
flowers elsewhere in the cathedral post event. and i'm sure at some point we might see them greet members of the public to cameron , thank you very much to cameron, thank you very much indeed. to cameron, thank you very much ind�*and those memories, of >> and those memories, of course, a year on extraordinary actually, isn't it? how that has flown by? well, let's speak now to royal commentator jay bond, who we spoke to at the time as well. and jenny, let's just pick up on this picture that's doing the rounds social of the rounds on social media of harry, the duke of sussex at saint george's this morning in windsor. and as i was asking cameron, you know , he didn't cameron, you know, he didn't make it a year ago in terms of being with his grandmother. so a pretty poignant event for him to pay pretty poignant event for him to pay this private visit to windsor this morning . windsor this morning. >> oh, yes, of course . >> oh, yes, of course. >> and he also made his own tribute to his his late grandmother last night at the wellchild awards and said he believed that she will be looking down and cheering him on. >> very glad that he was there with the community of very ill children. so he was the first
1:49 pm
really to pay tribute this year . um, i'm glad he's gone along to saint george's. it would have been strange if he was in this country and we learned that he hadnt country and we learned that he hadn't made any kind of effort to remember his grandmother. it's incredibly sad as well that he can't be with his father or his brother. it seems . and i his brother. it seems. and i imagine that his visit to the chapel was very carefully choreographed. so he didn't run into any other members of the royal family, should he not wish to do so? um, so i'm glad he's done it. >> but isn't it sad? >> but isn't it sad? >> it just just reinforces this this rift in the family. you know, just think how it's incredible to think he'd be over harry be over here in the uk and he wouldn't see charles and he wouldn't see william dodi. but, you know, we're becoming used to it. is becoming it. the status quo is becoming the norm. he flies in and out and isn't any and there really isn't any expectation that they will meet up.and expectation that they will meet up. and that's really tragic. >> just want to speak >> jenny also just want to speak to you about some of the lovely tribute have been doing the tribute that have been doing the rounds queen. and
1:50 pm
rounds today to the queen. and one of them was from sarah ferguson , her former daughter in ferguson, her former daughter in law, who know she remained law, who we know she remained pretty and sarah pretty close to. and sarah ferguson has actually taken on the queen's corgis. sandy and mick, hasn't she. and there's a lovely been lovely image that's been released today . they wear sarah released today. they wear sarah ferguson says they are thriving i >> -- >> yep. yeah. she the youngest of those dogs, was given to the queen by andrew and sarah. i think it was just the one of them. so they, they took the dogs back after the queen's death and have often released pictures of them. and cherished them, just as the queen did of course. and it a very clear course. and it is a very clear link because, you know, the queen was crazy about her dogs. um, with her her daughter in law. and with andrew and sarah was always very close to the queen throughout all the troubles and in spite of the divorce and all the trouble that sarah has got into, um, she's remained close to the queen. the queen never shut the door on her. prince philip really did .
1:51 pm
her. prince philip really did. but she's. she's kind of back in the royal fold now. she's invited, along with andrew, to private family occasions, to balmoral, to sandringham . and i balmoral, to sandringham. and i think the king has made it clear that, yeah, officially they there'll be no public duties for andrew. but privately, he's still his brother. >> yeah. interesting thing. just as we bring some pictures in, jenny, as we speak to you of some anti monarchy republican supporters marching outside buckingham palace as of course is their right. but of course, this is something that the king is having to address a year on in terms of his position. and the whole question about the commonwealth and the monarchy going forward. i mean, i think the youtube figures coming or yougov rather, i beg your pardon, 59% thought he was doing a good job now and he's more
1:52 pm
accessible, more visible , more accessible, more visible, more likely to engage with the public than even the late queen. >> yeah, i think he and the palace will look back on this first year with a great deal of satisfaction. yes, the republican movement had been making a bit more noise. that's partly because they get more pubuchy partly because they get more publicity because there's more social media. people know where the demonstrations are going to be and partly because there is a small increase in the number who seem to support the republican movement . and that's fine. movement. and that's fine. i would say i say bring it on. bnng would say i say bring it on. bring it on. if you you know, if that's the truth, then let's have a referendum. and i really do think that all the polls suggest were to have suggest that if we were to have a referendum , then, as you say, a referendum, then, as you say, about 60% of the population would say, well , actually we would say, well, actually we quite like it. let's let's keep it it is. and what would a it as it is. and what would a politician do with do you know, die for that kind of rating ? die for that kind of rating? yeah, i know. >> jenny, how do you rate king charles's first year on the
1:53 pm
throne? i mean, he appears to have taken quite a softly , have taken quite a softly, softly approach so far . softly approach so far. >> yeah. yes. i think it's, you know, don't rock the boat . it know, don't rock the boat. it was going swimmingly before to mix my nautical analogies . but i mix my nautical analogies. but i think that he feels that he doesn't want to shake it up and change things radically. and i think that was a very wise thing to do. also, you know, i've known king charles prince charles over many years charles over so many years a little bit. and i know that at heart, he's quite a traditionalist. he's not one to change things just for the sake of it. that have been gradual nuances. of it. that have been gradual nuances . the coronation things nuances. the coronation things were slightly different , but were slightly different, but i've been quite surprised, actually, how he has stuck rigidly to the royal year. the structure of that year, the season as it goes on. and i don't think he's going to change that in the years to come. i think we would look to william for radical change and certainly reflections in the various interviews in the newspapers, staff at buckingham palace .
1:54 pm
staff at buckingham palace. >> they're having a bit of a breather after what has been quite a difficult year. breather after what has been quite a difficult year . and he quite a difficult year. and he really does keep them busy. it seems . seems. >> oh, yes. i mean , he's always >> oh, yes. i mean, he's always been a workaholic and that's the way he's to going going to stay. and his workload has increased even more. and you know, he expects people to jump . he's you expects people to jump. he's you know, he's a man, as we know, with a certain temper. and he wears his heart on his sleeve underneath it all. he's a real old softie. i can tell you. >> yeah. as you saw when you were given that tour, of course, down in the gardens, that wonderful occasion that we remember. but jenny, thank you very much for sharing us with us. your memories of, of course, that event a year ago and as we say, the duke of sussex visiting saint george's chapel in windsor today. >> f more e’- f more still to come on >> plenty more still to come on the live desk. we will have the latest on the manhunt for that escaped prisoner from wandsworth , daniel califf. talk to you shortly . a brighter outlook with shortly. a brighter outlook with boxt solar

2:12 pm
and princess of wales have been at a service at st david's. >> yes, they have . they're in >> yes, they have. they're in pembrokeshire, west wales . quite pembrokeshire, west wales. quite a large crowd, actually gathered to see the prince and princess of wales, the princess has recycled a coat dress that she wore for her christmas concert at westminster abbey in december . for those of you interested in that. . for those of you interested in that . but the service itself was that. but the service itself was very short . it that. but the service itself was very short. it was only around ten minutes. it was a private service commemorating the life of queen elizabeth. the second dunng of queen elizabeth. the second during the service , the anthem during the service, the anthem thou knowest lord, the secrets of our hearts was sung by the cathedral choir. and that hymn was also played during her late majesty. the queen's funeral on the 19th of september. and it was used when, as the coffin entered westminster abbey. now, following the service, the prince and princess were invited to the presbytery where her royal highness laid a wreath of flowers at the foot of a
2:13 pm
portrait that of the late queen elizabeth. the second. and that that not the bouquet of flowers, even contains myrtle , which was even contains myrtle, which was used in the wreath which was placed on queen elizabeth. the second coffin, the prince and princess then met some of the guests who had also been at the private service at saint davids cathedral earlier today, including christopher taylor, who was actually there for all four visits to of the late queen to saint david's. so clearly he has a particular royal link. and it was particularly poignant for him meeting the late queen's grandson and, of course, the future queen, princess catherine, as well. another guest who was there, paul evans , a local man. he is a maundy money recipient. when the queen was, which he received from the late queen a few years ago , and late queen a few years ago, and a former church warden and city treasurer as i said then, the prince and princess were waving to crowds outside the cathedral
2:14 pm
. i understand there's a couple more engagements planned by the prince and princess this afternoon around wales because it was this time last year or this tomorrow, i should say this time tomorrow, i should say that william and princess that prince william and princess catherine prince and catherine were named prince and princess of wales. and they have spent year to spent the last year trying to embed themselves get to know spent the last year trying to emidifferent selves get to know spent the last year trying to emidifferent communitieset to know spent the last year trying to emidifferent communities and know the different communities and people in wales. >> it's interesting that just just 20 invited guests for that service . very small, very service. very small, very intimate. and the same at crathie kirk then up in balmoral , a very private occasion with the king and i think earl snowdon and lady sarah chatto there . so it's been a sort of there. so it's been a sort of very private occasion despite the crowds that we've seen outside . outside. >> yeah, it certainly has. i'm getting the sense that for the private windsor family, it has been a very dignified , poignant, been a very dignified, poignant, quiet affair today , despite the quiet affair today, despite the huge media presence here at buckingham palace. as you said, the king and queen were accompanied by princess margaret's two children, lady sarah chatto and the earl of
2:15 pm
snowdon , and also the children snowdon, and also the children of those two, which is the late queen's niece and nephew and, of course, their grand great nieces and nephews, if that makes sense. we're also there. so it was a family affair inside crathie kirk private prayers, a very short service. but the king and queen are now back on the balmoral estate and will be reflecting day privately, reflecting on the day privately, which similar to what which is very similar to what queen elizabeth ii did during her accession day , which her accession day, which happened which was in february 1952, marking the that her 1952, marking the day that her father, king george, the sixth, died at sandringham. and that is where queen traditionally where the queen traditionally spent her accession day. the queen died this time last year at balmoral castle, which is where the king and queen are spending the day . spending the day. >> prince harry cameron, we knew he was in britain for a very short visit, but he has found time to go to saint george's chapel at windsor. he's been pictured leaving there where his where it is the final resting
2:16 pm
place of his grandmother. but he will not, we understand , be will not, we understand, be having any well, face to face contact . but with his brother or contact. but with his brother or his father , no , as far as we're his father, no, as far as we're aware, not as we've discussed. >> harry, william and catherine are in wales. and the king and queen are in scotland. prince harry was in london last night for the wellchild awards, a patronage he's held for 15 years. and he spoke of his late mother then saying that she late grandmother even saying that she was looking down on all of them. this morning. has been this morning. he has been pictured and or exiting saint george's chapel in windsor, which where the late queen is which is where the late queen is buned which is where the late queen is buried alongside close family members in the king george vi memorial chapel. now, from my understanding, other members of the royal family have also privately visited saint george's chapel morning, privately visited saint george's chapel morning , too. chapel this morning, too. perhaps we presume, pay their respects to the queen and to queen elizabeth's graveside . but queen elizabeth's graveside. but it's all very private, isn't it 7 it's all very private, isn't it ? there's no major public event from the royal family today
2:17 pm
other than the short appearances we've seen from the prince and princess of wales and the king for very short service is commemorating the life of queen elizabeth ii and a monarch who reigned reigned over us for 70 years to reflect to cameron. >> there was this sort of march or i don't know if it was a protest outside buckingham palace a little earlier. we brought pictures. we believe brought the pictures. we believe it was a republican group . it was a republican group. maybe, perhaps in some people's view, not the best occasion for them to make that public. yeah very large protests marched down constitution hill past the palace. >> it so there are actually two protests going on here today at around the same time. the big one which you saw on your screens was not to do with republicanism. that was for a separate protest. there was, however, very small republican however, a very small republican protest on the victorian memorial. it wasn't the well known republic campaign group with big yellow signs. it was a separate group for republicans
2:18 pm
who are very young. so youth republicans, as it were. i counted roughly three from the pictures i saw online. there may well have been more . however, it well have been more. however, it certainly was not as large or as noisy as the one that marched past buckingham palace and proceeded down mall. past buckingham palace and pro�*and ed down mall. past buckingham palace and pro�*and certainly mall. past buckingham palace and pro�*and certainly that/iall. past buckingham palace and pro�*and certainly that was a >> and certainly that was not a republican protest. we should make that clear because obviously bit of obviously there was a bit of confusion earlier on. confusion about that earlier on. >> yes. the big one, which marched past constitution hill from my understanding, was definitely not a republican protest. me that it protest. it seemed to me that it was a completely separate issue, which was not to do with the king queen or any of the events going on today. >> in that sense, we shall move on. cameron for the moment, thank very updating thank you very much for updating us buckingham palace. us there at buckingham palace. >> now it is still feeling >> it's now it is still feeling incredibly hot outside. well, incredibly hot outside. well, incredibly hot outside. well, incredibly hot for us. people like me with all this pale skin. the uk could have a record six days of 30 celsius heat for the first time in september. that is according to the met office . according to the met office. yesterday was provisionally the hottest day of the year so far

2:20 pm
degrees. now, what the met office is expecting for this penod office is expecting for this period is six days of consecutive of heat above 30 degrees. now of course, above 30 degrees. now of course, above 30 degrees isn't particularly hot even by british standards. >> it was 32 degrees yesterday. >> it was 32 degrees yesterday. >> and it's expected to be the hottest day of the year, 32 degrees again today , tomorrow. degrees again today, tomorrow. but even for september , it's not but even for september, it's not necessarily going to be that hot, 35 degrees is the hottest temperature we've had on record in september. that was in 1906, and that was in south yorkshire. but why we're making a bit of a song and dance about it right now is because of that prolonged penod now is because of that prolonged period and that's record breaking . now when you do have breaking. now when you do have record breaking heat, what happens is the uk health security agency, which is a pubuc security agency, which is a public health body, they put out different weather warnings and we've got a heat health alert. that's amber . that's amber. >> so the second of three health

2:24 pm
here much day here and much cooler day for most hot and humid. most places dry , but an increasing risk of dry, but an increasing risk of some big thunderstorms breaking out across parts of the midlands, england, midlands, northern england, especially late in the day as temperatures probably peak at 31, 32, maybe 33 celsius across the south—east. a much cooler day, though, in western scotland where there'll be more cloud again on sunday. again, the chance of some thunderstorms on sunday widely, perhaps , sunday more widely, perhaps, again, dropping a lot of rain in again, dropping a lot of rain in a short space of lots of a short space of time. lots of hail and lightning, a possibility as well . another hot possibility as well. another hot and humid feeling day as well with temperatures getting, again into the across the south into the 30s across the south and east. but cooler air is spreading in and i think we'll all turn cooler as we go into next week . next week. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar. proud sponsors of weather on .

2:29 pm
everything they can to find him i >> -- >> this is obviously something that people will be focussed on. i want to reassure people that the police are working night and day to recapture the individual. thankfully, these incidents are extremely rare and that's i know people will be anxious about it, but working very hard to recapture the individual concerned. and the justice secretary has initiated already an internal inquiry to the specific circumstance around his escape . and it would be right to escape. and it would be right to just let that go through so we know exactly what happens . know exactly what happens. >> let's get more with our home security editor, mark white in the studio who can update us. and course, the focus and mark, of course, the focus was richmond park and then was on richmond park and then down channel tunnel. down in the channel tunnel. eurotunnel we had all this activity with a suspicious vehicle being arrested vehicle person being arrested for the moment or detained at least an indication of just how sensitive this operation is. >> yeah, because that is one of the main areas going out of the country where they think there's a high risk that daniel kalief could actually be going through
2:30 pm
the tunnel onto a ferry. he's very unlikely ever to be going to passport control to get on an aircraft. he's obviously going to be spotted . so in the back of to be spotted. so in the back of a lorry, in a van, in someone's boot, potentially , and during boot, potentially, and during the operations, the extra security at the port, we got that incident at the channel tunnel with a suspicious vehicle being stopped at. and the explosives teams are being brought in because there were a bit concerned about what was in the vehicle. the police see that it's not linked to daniel kalief that i think a person was detained initially. but we can see that it's not obviously daniel kalief at this time . but daniel kalief at this time. but these scenes are continuing in doven these scenes are continuing in dover. and sadly , i think for dover. and sadly, i think for those who are deciding for whatever reason to go to the continent , they are going to be continent, they are going to be huge tailbacks in very, very hot
2:31 pm
temperatures. >> but an indicator of really how intense this operation is, i think, you know , the fact they think, you know, the fact they picked this up so quickly that clearly, you know, all alert, warning , as they say. yeah. warning, as they say. yeah. >> and the difficult dodi with the sort of freight traffic and vehicles as opposed to airports is at an airport. you can see that you or you or me, we're not. daniel kalief, you can very quickly you don't you can get through the queues quickly, but when you've got vehicles as you are either searching them all or at least searching the ones that might warrant a bit more attention . but either way, attention. but either way, that's time consuming. and that's time consuming. and that's what leading to these very significant delays with again, part of the m20 closed off to allow for the stacking of lorries. >> we can also show you video of the delivery truck being searched. we've only seen stills of that so far. searched. we've only seen stills of that so far . just talk us of that so far. just talk us through what we're going to what
2:32 pm
we're looking at here. >> yeah, you see police officers there. food delivery truck there. the food delivery truck that had left at wandsworth pfison that had left at wandsworth prison about an hour earlier. that's where they finally caught up with it and searched the vehicle , looked underneath and vehicle, looked underneath and saw obviously no daniel khalifa anymore. but the strapping that he'd used to fasten himself to the underside of this vehicle. and at some point on the route, because it was one hour and five minutes from leaving the prison to the point where police have stopped the vehicle, there , at stopped the vehicle, there, at some point in that one hour and a bit journey , he detached a bit journey, he detached himself from the vehicle and ran off somewhere. now, this is interesting because this is putney. >> it was. what about 2.7 miles? i think the route they've worked out that was taken , we used to out that was taken, we used to seeing cctv pictures, doorbell cameras and so on. and certainly they've released the pictures of they've released the pictures of the vehicle. nothing of anyone who may have matched his description. do we find that
2:33 pm
interesting? >> well , interesting? >> well, interesting in that detectives being detectives and following leads don't always necessarily match to our frustration. want to share all of the evidence with us, especially if they feel that it might give the upper hand to an individual, to a fugitive on the run. they don't want to necessarily say, yeah, we know that he got off there and we think he's in this vehicle, you know, because that's a kind of information that might be useful to them if they exhaust avenues, which often they do, then i would imagine that that cctv and more information as to where he disengaged will be made public and got out will be made public. yeah. >> mark, thank you very much for updating us more, of course, as we get it. let's get all the latest news headlines now with . aaron >> it is 233. i'm aaron armstrong in the newsroom.

gb news radio . gb news radio. >> welcome back to the live desk. let's take you live to india, to new delhi , where the india, to new delhi, where the prime minister landed earlier for that summit. and this is another plane that's arrived as you can see from the livery, it is air force one. and that door is air force one. and that door is open. the steps are waiting for joe biden. the us president, forjoe biden. the us president, to join this annual meeting of the world's largest economies and his arrival in new delhi actually, president biden's will be watched closely as he makes his way down those steps because we know now that he does have a little bit of form. >> here he is .
2:40 pm
little bit of form. >> here he is. holy little bit of form. >> here he is . holy breath. yeah >> here he is. holy breath. yeah >> here he is. holy breath. yeah >> he's looking confident, i think. and a wave there to the cameras. clearly, this is a very important occasion for president biden, given that we do have the russian foreign minister, sergey lavrov, there. putin is not attending, but there is much focus on, of course, what has happenedin focus on, of course, what has happened in ukraine and in particular where india has stood in terms of its oil trade with india and indeed arms and munitions being received from russia . russia. >> and it's thought that president biden will be hoping to make the case at the summit that the united states can be a better partner for developing countries than china . now, china countries than china. now, china . china's president, xi jinping skipped this weekend. >> do have some flashing images with the photography here. so let's just alert that if you're watching now and an indication , watching now and an indication, of course, that in terms of the east west split, if you like, we've had the brics conference where russia's joined with brazil and india in terms of,
2:41 pm
well, sort of separate grouping, if you like. so there's going to be much in terms of the diplomat dance, if you like, in terms of these meetings and the various meetings of the main plenary sessions and president biden's arrival in india does come as a survey released on the day he left, the united states showed to two thirds of democrat leaning voters do not want him. >> as the 2024 nominee. >> as the 2024 nominee. >> well , let's speak to >> well, let's speak to christopher hope, our political edhon christopher hope, our political editor, who is in new delhi , and editor, who is in new delhi, and reflect on how the us president may try and broker the deals or at least lead the way in terms of what the g20 comes to in terms of any accords . and i terms of any accords. and i guess the main issue is how they deal with russia and the fact that it's lavrov there instead of putin. that's right, mark. >> it's great that biden has come, of course, because his wife, jill, has had covid. there was some doubt as late as last night would actually night whether he would actually make force
2:42 pm
make the flight. but air force one touched down here in one has now touched down here in delhi where i'm talking to you from this evening now in delhi. and that's right. i mean, it's so important, i think, the so important, i think, for the coalition ukraine, coalition supporting ukraine, the western coalition that biden is here. joe biden is here because there is doubt and concern emerging about the cost of commitment to supporting of this commitment to supporting ukraine against the russian invaders. russia is invaders. of course, russia is isolated, but president putin, not surprisingly, has not come to the g20 not surprisingly, has not come to the 620 this year , as he to the 620 this year, as he didn't last year. instead his foreign minister, sergey lavrov , has come instead. and that's no surprise . and that's a big no surprise. and that's a big message we've had from from prime minister rishi sunak. he's been speaking to us over the last last 24 hours. he's been saying that he wants to stress the need to isolate russia and ensure they recognise the condemnation of the world about their invasion of ukraine. >> i also made reference chris, to the fact that china's president, xi jinping, is also so absent from the summit this weekend . can we read anything weekend. can we read anything into that ?
2:43 pm
into that? >> well, no, that's less clear because, of course, china's got its own agenda. i think that's more there is the i think it's the chinese premier is here and there could be meetings between him and rishi sunak coming over the next 24 hours. but i think it's more that's more of a of a wider issue with concern about china. certainly america has got concern about china as the uk had, although more recently james and indeed the james cleverly and indeed the pm, have been pm, mr sunak have been expressing overtures towards china which weren't there before i >> -- >> the beast is just about to move off. that's the name of the armoured vehicle. of course not. the president. and we see the flags there on the front of the vehicle where there is rishi sunak going to come in this pecking order. clearly, biden now will be top of the table. but we already know that rishi sunakis but we already know that rishi sunak is meeting with narendra modi moved until modi has been moved back until tomorrow. and maybe there is no sort of meat on the table in terms of the free trade deal .
2:44 pm
terms of the free trade deal. >> well, that's right. to be fair to number 10, they have stressed to us from the beginning this is a multilateral event. g20 . it's not event. the 620. it's not a bilateral event, just party speaking. the idea of trade speaking. so the idea of trade talks between india and the uk aren't really going to happen in detail here. but mr sunak has given an interview. i think, to indian tv here just in the past hourin indian tv here just in the past hour in which he has said that the fta is an obvious. the fta being a free trade agreement is an obvious way to broaden or deepen relationship . so deepen uk india relationship. so it's all about reaching out this human human bridge as the p&o describes it, between the uk and india. it's his first visit here to india in three years. of course his parents were born or indian heritage. his wife is indian heritage. his wife is indian akshata murthy so i think there's an attempt to here draw on that. i think between the two countries, there's no sign of rishi mania here yet because the place is in complete lockdown. normally, it's the busiest street behind me, but not at the
2:45 pm
moment. but there's a feeling certainly a countdown certainly there was a countdown clock the pm might clock about when the pm might get here on tv. a few hours ago. so an excitement about so there is an excitement about sunak. will sunak. but whether that will turn delighted fans turn into actual delighted fans mob in the streets, i'm not so sure. right. i mean, we talk about the excitement sunak i >> -- >> it was david lammy, the shadow secretary, who shadow foreign secretary, who described him as minnow on the described him as a minnow on the global stage . global stage. >> well, that's a view of the labour might take because the uk has left the european union. it is now punching its weight. but it is, it is a major economy and it is, it is a major economy and it is, it is a major economy and it is this kind of the uk will see itself as a bridge between the european union and america. so think we have a role so i think we do have a role to play so i think we do have a role to play convening nation and play as a convening nation and we're seeing that. we're seeing that, al, that, of course, the ai, artificial summit artificial intelligence summit in so i mean, that's in november. so i mean, that's one view and maybe it might alarm some people that the foreign secretary thinks the shadow foreign secretary forgive foreign secretary thinks the shacdavidreign secretary forgive foreign secretary thinks the shac david lammy cretary forgive foreign secretary thinks the shacdavid lammy thinks forgive foreign secretary thinks the shac david lammy thinks thative foreign secretary thinks the shac david lammy thinks that way me, david lammy thinks that way about uk . about the uk. >> let's reflect a bit more >> let's just reflect a bit more about rishi sunak and his wife , about rishi sunak and his wife, akshata murty tatler magazine
2:46 pm
had been indicating that her fashion sense steals the show , fashion sense steals the show, indication that she may be an anglo—indian jackie o. i mean, is this going to be a team effort by them? yeah well, she's a very stylish dresser. >> i think you may have some pictures there of her playing barefoot football some barefoot football with some children the british council children at the british council a hours ago. and looks a few hours ago. and she looks very smart. and very cool and very smart. and whenever i come across her, she does dress extremely well. and yeah , i mean, if is our yeah, i mean, if she is our version jackie o, yeah, i mean, if she is our version jackie 0, jackie o, version of jackie 0, jackie o, of course, being jackie onassis. yes. the, the wife and then widow of jfk back in the 60s who became to symbolise this camelot. i do think, though, you're if you take that idea of camelot to a uk audience, the idea young, looking idea of a young, young looking white house, i think you're going to see that around the prime minister in a major reshuffle after the middle of next month when he'll bring on lots of young mps elected in 2019 who will seem to project a
2:47 pm
different and a new version of the tory party and a younger one to try and win the election in next year. >> that's an interesting prospect. so a change in the generations you think . that's right? >> i mean, you described to me as a senior, a senior person close to mr sunak as breaking the glass ceiling . that was when the glass ceiling. that was when claire coutinho was brought in. she, of course, elected in 2019 as now the net zero secretary. so the idea being not not one about gender, but one on age and profile . so but that is also profile. so but that is also causing its own problems amongst mps elected before that who before 2019. but that's certainly what the pm is looking at doing now. a new team to try and take on keir starmer, who has got ahead of the game with his reshuffle this week. >> this be >> yeah, so this will be important then domestic important then for domestic politics as as the politics as well as the international diplomacy we that's right. >> there's no question that i think rishi sunak looks great on the world stage. he's left behind crumbling schools in the
2:48 pm
uk. the issue there with the with the escaped offender from wandsworth prison. and does wandsworth prison. and he does look good and feel good on the world . hasn't so world stage. it hasn't gone so well so today . they have had world stage. it hasn't gone so wecancel today . they have had world stage. it hasn't gone so wecancel atoday . they have had world stage. it hasn't gone so wecancel a meeting hey have had world stage. it hasn't gone so wecancel a meeting withiave had world stage. it hasn't gone so wecancel a meeting with premier to cancel a meeting with premier modi will take place around modi that will take place around lunchtime indian time tomorrow. and then also there's been an another issue with with an event for business leaders tonight that that can't go ahead because of the state of the lockdown in delhi the g 20. so delhi because of the g 20. so he's here early but so far he's come here early but so far the trip hasn't got off to the best of starts. >> is there any suggestion, chris, that that prime minister sunak and his wife will meet other members of their family while they're in india ? while they're in india? >> no, of course . ms murtys >> no, of course. ms murtys family have a big shareholding in emphasise an indian tech company. they are not meeting on this visit. it may they may meet at a different date. and the focus to be fair to number 10 and mr sunak is this is a multilateral g20 . conference multilateral 620. conference he's not here that long. he's
2:49 pm
here. he's here for about two days. exactly there's not enough time, i think, to visit mrs. murthy's family. he did say to us, though, on the way over and he he likes idea of being he he likes the idea of being described india's son in law he he likes the idea of being des(thati india's son in law he he likes the idea of being des(that for india's son in law he he likes the idea of being des(that for andia's son in law he he likes the idea of being des(that for a while son in law he he likes the idea of being des(that for a while that n law he he likes the idea of being des(that for a while that wasn and that for a while that was trending on twitter in india . trending on twitter in india. >> mark pippa, christopher , >> mark and pippa, christopher, it's been a long evening, day, hard day's night, whatever you want to call it. thanks for updating of course , on updating us there. of course, on this . thanks very this 620 summit. thanks very much indeed . much indeed. >> the rugby world cup kicks off today in the stade de france in paris , france, take on new paris, france, take on new zealand in the opening match tonight. >> how about that for your opening match? the all blacks england playing their opening match against the pumas argentina tomorrow . so who do we argentina tomorrow. so who do we look out for? let's get more with sports broadcaster ben jacobs . and ben, i think i'll jacobs. and ben, i think i'll answer my own question in terms of the springboks after what they did to the blacks . they did to the all blacks. hello, ben, can you hear us? >> yes, i can hear you.
2:50 pm
>> oh, yeah. i was just going to say, i've answered my own question, which may be just as well the communications well with the communications difficulties. to difficulties. i was going to ask, who we look out for? ask, who do we look out for? maybe it's the springboks having demolished blacks a week demolished the all blacks a week or ago. or so ago. >> yeah, that was a very telling victory , wasn't victory, wasn't it? >> they're the >> and they're also the defending champions. i think there's number teams to there's a number of teams to look for. we have the all look out for. we have the all blacks and as you rightly said in the up, the opening in the build up, the opening match against france is going to be telling . france are the be very telling. france are the hosts. they'll have that home advantage. and france and advantage. and both france and the blacks are amongst the the all blacks are amongst the favourites. it's a strange world cup build because we're cup build up because we're talking about england. talking less about england. they've horrible run up in they've had a horrible run up in the build up to this tournament. they've , they've got they've lost fiji, they've got bands, they've got injuries as well. so it's going to be very difficult for steve borthwick side to succeed. and yet comparative to some other teams, they've got a little bit of an easier run towards the finals. it could be a quarterfinal against wales or australia and then if they win that, then
2:51 pm
they're ultimately only one game away from another rugby world cup final and then of course we look at the sort of group of death as it's being pitched, which is group b island, to the world number ones, romania, scotland , south africa and scotland, south africa and tonga. that's not going to be easy for ireland to get out of, but it's fascinating rugby but it's a fascinating rugby world cup and i think it's the most competitive tournament that we seen it. we will have seen it. >> some mouthwatering matches to come then. i mean , apart from, come then. i mean, apart from, you know, maybe england, who else ? what are the big games else? what are the big games that people need to diary they need to stay for in now? >> well, i think many of the games are there to be put in your diaries. but the opening match we've already discussed france against new zealand is going a big one. ireland going to be a big one. ireland against south africa is another one in group b to look out for england start is going to be very in group d very important in group d against , but it would against argentina, but it would be staggering if they fail to get out of that group, which also includes chile , japan and also includes chile, japan and samoa . but again, we didn't
2:52 pm
samoa. but again, we didn't expect england to lose in the build up to fiji and they did. so it's very hit and miss and then who knows, we might get a match up a bit further down the line that sees england against australia and the australia head coach jones, the coach is now eddie jones, the former england manager. so that's one to look out for as well. yeah change of manager well. yeah a change of manager didn't too much good, didn't seem to do too much good, did it? >> speaking as a welshman, however, also have sort however, we also have this sort of measure of northern of measure of the northern hemisphere southern hemisphere versus the southern hemisphere. and as you've indicated, they indicated, i mean, fiji, they give run—around to wales as give the run—around to wales as well. so wonders, you know, if the balance is tipping to these other sides. samoa, as you say, and fiji and tonga , it's very and fiji and tonga, it's very possible fiji are one to look out for sure . out for sure. >> they have made before a world cup quarterfinal in two thousand and seven. but in the last three rugby world cups they've failed to get out of the pool stage and their coach is a former fiji international and simon raleigh and he's very experienced. but not only that , he's found a way.
2:53 pm
not only that, he's found a way. i think, to stun some of the traditional powers in world rugby. and there's a saracens player that they've got in eroni zahawi who will be one to watch in this tournament. so they could cause some surprises as well. and argentina may be ones to watch too. i don't sense that samoa are going to cause england any problems in the group stage. tonga be full of some tonga may be full of some surprises as well, but the surprises as well, but come the end the tournament, still end of the tournament, we still expect traditional expect to get a traditional winner. that's why the likes winner. and that's why the likes of potentially ireland, the world number ones and also new zealand and france are the favourites. you'll as favourites. and you'll note as well apologise this, well, and i apologise for this, that of the conversations that in all of the conversations we've had, haven't even mentioned very own wales mentioned your very own wales and the task for i know well there's always hope in our heart we're gonna have to beat fiji though. that's the big one. if they beat fiji then they'll get out of their group and then of course they might get england in the quarterfinals. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> let's end that note, ben. >> let's end on that note, ben. thank indeed. more thank you very much indeed. more coming patrick's with you coming up. patrick's with you next. of course, back
