one day. it will discontinue. >> just to be a part of history. >> am here mostly because it is a momentous occasion that we could not miss. it is really sad day for everyone. >> it is scotland's chance to say goodbye to the queen. tens of thousands are expected to come to the cathedral to view the coffin before it is flown there. the nick king was in london where he had just represented the houses of parliament for the first time since coming to the throne.

>> this about, she kept with unsurpassed devotion. with god's help and your councils, i am resolved faithfully. >> the words reflected a theme, a focus on the future of the crown as well as its past. >> it has beenery moving. very respectful, very moving.

the procession made it all the way up here. we have king charles behind the coffin with his brothers and his sister, the princess royal. people were gasping, the enormity of the case is just so clear. it was actually very moving. i spoke to americans amongst the crowd. everyone is saying how moved they were. you actually see the children including king charles as well. >> you are at the scottish parliament where king charles met with first minister nicola sturgeon today. how does scotland view its relationship with the new king regarding the question of

independence? >> that is over the good question. today in parliament, the leaders of all the parties actually gave a short speech in front of king charles and it was very respectful. there was one party that was the self-confessed republican. for the moment, this is not a time for diversity, politics. that will come. i think we are going to find over the remains of this year, the whole constitution debate will gather pace. >> that was nick mackey

reporting from edinburgh in scotland. here are the other stories making headlines around the world. the former czech prime minister has gone on trial in prague. prosecutors are alleging that the billionaire committed eu subsidy fraud for the chemical farming and media empire. he has denied any wrongdoing and has called this trial politically motivated. beginning today, russians who want to travel to europe will face new hurdles and costs. the european council agreed to suspend a visa deal between russia and europe's area. it stops short of a full travel ban on russians. now to the war in ukraine, russia has pulled back more of its troops from ukraine's northeastern kharkiv region as the ukrainian military pressures on with its counteroffensive in the east and south of the country. they say they have recaptured an

additional 20 northeastern towns and villages in the last 24 hours. they have also claimed it has taken hundreds of square miles of territory in the south. vehicles and piles of ammunition testified to the russian's hasty withdrawal. you print military command has pledged to push on. request the liberation of settlements continues as briefly reported during the retreat, russian troops quickly abandoned their positions and fled into occupied territories of the russian federation. this trend persists. the russian command has --

president vladimir putin has yet to acknowledge it. russia is confidently handling the external pressure. the economic it's great tactics we are counting on have worked which is obvious to everybody including them. putin possible silence has not stopped growing criticism. all of this despite a harsh crackdown on dissent since the outbreak of the war. putin can still count on the russian churcho be a pillar of support. today, as we live in a very difficult time, a prayer.

pressure will mount on a leader who until recently seemed unassailable. >> i asked if these answers mean real progress for ukraine. >> i think we are talking about more than progress at this point. this is a fairly staggering turning point in the war. this is certainly the most serious reverse. the ukrainians have liberated more than 3000 of their own territory in about five days.

it has come at relatively low cost for ukraine. it has been much more bloody for both sides. ukraine is -- has managed to make a hole in the russian front lines. they are able to rapidly push in reinforcements and drive mechanized forces deep into the russian lines of communication. because the russian military is so overstretched, they were all very relatively short. they are really struggling having only started molization efforts in july. once ukrainian forces broke

through and got into the rear areas, there were really no reserve foes the russians uld use to stop the advance. they are trying to throw in barely trained resveso stop the retreatment. so far, it seems they are having difficulties. this is a very dangerous position for the russians. >> you used the word collapse. are we looking at the russian army in the process of collapsing? they still outgrown -- outgun ukrainians. this sounds like a military collapse. >> it appears that way. we knew the russian military had serious morale problem. we are seven months into the

invasion. many of those troops have been in combat the entire time. now they are faced with a war of movement for which they are just not prered. many troops have simply abandoned the equipment and the vehicles. once you do that, you can't stop because you don't have the equipment to defend yourself. we see these enormous stockpiles of ammunition,f tank speak was an entire russian flag just basically left the equipment to try to get this that they are suddenly threatened with. it is really hard to stop that once it starts. that is with the russians don't have here, ukraine probably does not have the logistics capacit to secure things already liberated and also keep pushing down the stretch so they must be forced -- they might be forced

to slow down. they aretill running forward. we saw collapse there as well. suddenly at that point, the regime in moscow could be buri. >> we appreciate you analysis, thank you. >> 10 men accused of carrying the 2016 brussels terror attacks. hundreds were injured when suicide bombers detonated explosives during the city's rush hour. the so-called islamic state claimed responsibility for the attacks. pretrial proceedings are now underway.

boxes. of these 10 men, one is being presumed to be dead, none of them were here today. of them, four have already been convicted in the parish attacks. they are all alleged to have been taking part in this terrace how that was uncovered in downtown brussels. one of them has actually admitted to being the third bomber at the airport and leading a trolley of explosives that -- explosives there to be apprehended data by law enforcement. these men have an uphill battle to prove their innocence. >> he and olaf scholz agreed to deepen cooperation on defense. they remain divided over iran. germany wants to revive the 2015 deal that limited iran's nuclear

program. >> greeted with military honors on his first trip to germany since taking office. israel's prime minister highlighted the partnership between both countries also regarding security. >> some will certainly say that the military partnership between germany and israel is an historical irony. i considered proof that we have drawn the necessary conclusions from the past. >> chancellor schultz says naming israel's antimissile capacity. when it comes to iran, there is a key issue for the cheerleaders disagree. they both want to prevent iran from obtaining nuclear weapons but differ on how to do that. germany supports the nuclear agreement with iran but germany opposes it -- israel opposes it.

>> it is time to move past the failed negotiations with iran. >> iran has agreed to proposals to restrict its nuclear program. he added that this would put any accord out of reach in the near future. >> i want to bring you benjamin alvarez grouper. good to see you. we have the german chancellor. we have the israeli prime minister bennett. basically agreeing to disagree when it comes to iran. that is nothing new. is it putting extra stress on german israeli relations? >> that is nothing new.

that is what we saw recently when israel's president was in berlin and met the german president. and how they actually disagree on the way forward. the leaders, both of them agreed on the thing that iran should not have access or be able to have these nuclear weapons. they also negotiated this agreement as germany's foreign minister is in favor of reviving this 2015 agreement just as german chancellor olaf scholz but they said they need to abide to the rules that they are now setting to see if they can revive. any agreement would not lead to stopping iran. this is nothing new.
