past 70 years. this is the scene at the westminster hall. the oldest part of the houses of parliament, built back in 1097. now the latest stage of britain's story is being told right there, right now. let's bring in our correspondent who observes all manners british for us. a poignant moment steeped in tradition. the queen lying in state in the place of both her mother, and father george before her. tell us about the people waiting patiently to pay respects. >> yes. you join us in the heart of london, across from parliament. a part that is known through the house of commons, the upper chamber, the house of lords, and what we saw on saturday, where king charles had both houses and pronounced a speech, was proclaimed king.

and where his late mother's body has been taken after the procession held in silence as they processed, including king charles, his siblings, his sons, prince william. there she is as thousands are already filing past the coffin on a raised platform and paying respects. we are here and we have been all day with people queuing up. we interviewed number two and number three, a lady from wales, another from the commonwealth, who were telling us why they were here. they had spoken to the archduke of canterbury, when they arrived. they said he would pray for the queen and the queue. it is all very friendly. i spoke to people from japan, canada, all over the world. a lot from the u.k..

moments before he joined us, i was thinking it was getting a bit cold, there was a table being set up so they can be given some tea to warm them up. >> how british and how fitting. it is moving how many people are there already. you mentioned it was going to be 24 hours a day. while it is going on, you have the people queueing. in the hall, there will be soldiers guarding the majesty. standing around. they have a 24 hour job. it is a whole tradition going on. but a lot of work. >> a whole lot of work that we have observed. there are crews from all over the world. british colleagues, as well. what people have to have on their wrists in order to get past the first checkpoint is a yellow wristband. i'm not queuing up, so i don't

have one. they also have purple ones, if they had a chair they had to drop off and leave another checkpoint further on. but for anybody who knows the bridges, it is way past westminster bridge, way past london bridge. it is extraordinary. and to see the friendliness of people getting to know each other. a little bit of cheering. people are jolly in each other on. it moments of sadness. i have seen children, really tiny babies. they will then go through other checkpoints. but security is up. all of that security, countless police officers, uniformed, a few undercover, military. police and military drafted in from all over the u.k. it is an unprecedented security operation, as well. all of this in the lead up to monday's state funeral, which will take place in westminster abbey, where the coffin will be

taken before the queen is laid to rest and winced her -- in windsor to lay beside her husband, prince philip. we are expecting over 500 vips. it goes from the u.s. president to the french president, the emperor of japan, jacinda r dan, european royalty, heads of government. that is even bigger than, we see the head of transportation. so a lot at play. of course, that respect for the monarch and really welcoming king charles as he conducts himself in his new duties. i'm sure the public/private grief, what tension there must be inside as we have seen him

across the u.k., he will be going to wales the day after tomorrow. he's already been in scotland, northern ireland. so these are historical moments. interesting to see how many heads of state and government are to come to the u.k., london, to take part in the state funeral that will be extraordinary to watch, and another piece of history. and we now have a carolyn era. charles the third. clearly on the throne. >> our correspondent in london, where history has unfolded. thank you for painting the picture for us. it is lasting 24 hours to get into westminster hall to pay respects, public respects. anybody can get into pass their respects onto, in front of the coffin of the majesty the queen, which is there until next

monday. people from all around the world, all countries invited to take part. not from russia, belarus, or myanmar. political questions playing a part in who is allowed to attend. we will bring you the developments. but we can tell you the body of queen elizabeth is in westminster hall and accessible to the public 24 hours a day until next monday. the ukrainian president has promised a victory on a visit to is em, a strategic city recently captured from russia's occupying forces. crane has received a massive backing from the west, mostly from the u.s. $14.5 billion so far. the military aid has helped take the counteroffensive. u.s. intelligence has played an even more important role. calling for more arms from the west. our correspondent sent us this. >> it is now considered to be

absolutely under ukrainian control, it has been consolidated. zelenskyy took part in alag ising cereny. d they think it is safe for the presidents ago, they have now chased the russians o of the place. it is a continuation of the series of trips that he has made to frontline areas, including -- shortly before it fell into russian hands, showing his bravery, incarnating the bravery all ukrainians feel their country has been showing since the invasion started on the 24th of february. while you may get criticism of president zelenskyy, many aspects of his presidency, and what he has said from many ukrainians, very few would fail to salute the courage he has

shown and leadership he has shown making these symbolic gestures and's the beginning of the invasion. >> oliver cragg watching the development. russia has covertly spent more than 300 million dollars since 2014 to influence politicians and other officials in more than two dozen countries. this allegation comes directly from the u.s. state department. a newly released intelligence assessment of russia's global level -- efforts sympathetic to moscow. it doesn't name specific russian targets, but says the u.s. is providing classified information to select individual countries. we will bring you more as we get it. the eu planning a deep and comprehensive reform of the electricity market this winter to cope with the energy crisis sparked by russia's war in ukraine. the european commission chief announced a range of measures in her annual state of the european

address, including -- could raise 140 billion euros. the commission president set to discuss the continuation of eu aid with president zelenskyy. hearing from the european commission president, urszula vendor line. >> it is wrong to receive extraordinary record revenues and profits benefiting from war and on the back of our consumers. in these times, profits must be shared, and channeled to those who need it most. and therefore, our proposal also includes the fossil fuel electricity producers who have to give a crisis contribution, and overall, our proposal will raise more than 140 billion euros for member states to cushion the blow directly. >> the european commission president covering the story for us from brussels, our

correspondent. >> european leaders gathered here to reassure people they will get through this winter without shivering in the cold and the dark, and they will be cushioned from the blowback of the eu sanctions against russia. that is what this planned reform of the electricity market is all about, those planned reforms announced by the president of the european commission. the focus being on the 140 billion euro fund that will be reaped if this is finally agreed , from cap nonprofits of energy companies, that money being earmarked to help the most vulnerable households and businesses. there are also a few things she talked about going forward. she proposed defense of

democracies act, which in her words, would protect the european union from authoritarian tendencies both outside the block and from inside the eu. and she also proposed a european convention to revisit the european treaties. all of this with a view to eventually getting rid of national vetoes in some areas so the enlarged european union can make decisions in a more smooth and streamlined way. that is music to the ears of people who want a stronger europe, national sovereignty, they will see that attempt as anti-democratic. >> far right neo-nazi influence party is poised to pla a prominent role governing sweden. almost all vote counted of the -- are the second largest party, the democrats are not to be confused with the social democrats, whose leader has now

resigned. let's get the wider analysis of what this means with our correspondent. thanyou for being with us. in terms of what we are seeing, it looks like the far right has taken a strong foothold in sweden. why has this happened? >> several reasons. of course it has a lot to do come t sweden, which has caused some friction. it is also people outside the big cities, development has not produced much wealth for them. also the kind of low after the government has to go.

and it doesn't matter whether they have been a good government or not. what happened here was the end of the election campaign, the sweden democrats got the bandwagon. they were taking votes from social democrats and moderates. they are the conservative party. and i think they got some extra votes from their success. wanted to vote for a successful party rather than a failing party. >> is it about people seeking solutions? often, the perception of the problems caused by the migrant crisis, taking us to the start of your previous answer, the perception is far wse than the actual reality.

>> partly. we've also had a lot of proems in sweden, where almost every day there is someone killed or hurt badly by shootings or knives. and most of the trouble has been collected to areas where a lot of migrants live. that is why one of the main subjects in the election campaign has been to bring better integration and stop the crimes. so we've got to be tough on crime, the causes of crime, which is what most parties have said. they haven't really addressed the migrants, but that has been

part of the understanding, anyway. >> thank you very much for giving us that insight into how the far right has taken a foothold in politics in sweden, set to be an influential voice in the next government as they are the second largest party going forward. thank you for joining us. time for business. joined by kate moody. the rising cost of energy is in focus. the government extending its aid for households and businesses. >> not quite as wide-ranging as the price freezes announced earlier, but some money to be saved by households and small business owners. next year, price hikes in gas and electricity bills will be limited at 15%, 12 million low income households receiving an additional round of direct aid, so-called energy checks between 100 and 200 euros. it is expected to cost some 16

billion euros. france is less exposed to the slowing supply of russian gas, because it depends more on nuclear power. but the government urged consumers and companies to voluntarily reduce energy consumption's. the prime minister singh every bit counts. >> only restraint and european solidarity will allow us to avoid cuts and rationi in the most pessimisticcenarios, such as the particularly cold winter combined with supply difficulties. these scenarios encourage us to pursue our strategy, voluntary restraint, rather than imposed cuts and european solidarity to better resist the winter. >> the eu commission president said she will push forward with plans to impose a windfall tax on energy firms reaping the profits of those high prices and could raise some 140 billion

euros if imposed. checking on the day's trading action. the major european indices closed in the red. steeper losses in london and frankfurt. even though it did dip from the 40 year highs in august, two around 9.9%. 18% on reports it could be nationalized. wall street has stabilized a day after its worst single session in over two years. the s&p 500 down nearly 3% so far. investors preparing for another round of the pig interest rates by the federal reserve next week after higher than expected inflation. google has lost a motion to overturn a more than 4 billion euro antitrust fine in the european union. the tech giant could appeal the highest court. >> it is a win for european regulators clamping down on big tech.

one of the eu's highest courts largely upheld an earlier ruling that found google broke the antitrust laws. >> having made the conclusion of user agreements conditional on the exclusive preinstallation of google search on a predefined portfolio. >> they say the tech giant throttled competition by forcing phone makers who use its operating system to take on its own apps, such as the google search engine and the web browser chrome. google expressed his disappointment in the court ruling, arguing android creates choices, rather than limiting them. the court slightly reduced the original fine from over 4.3 billion euros to over 4.1 billion euros. the google. -- watchdog that launch the original complaint says the biggest losers are the users themselves. >> i believe consumers would be

better off had they had genuine competition in the search markets. had there been one or two really significant competitors to google, we would have seen a difference in innovative search. >> this is the second eu antitrust case google has lost out of three. the firm could stand to be fined a total of 8 billion euros by regulators. alphabet is worth over $1 trillion. >> the u.s. is facing a possible rail strike on friday. the first in three decades. unions representing freight train conductors and engineers have been locked in a dispute for pay conditions. a federally mandated cooling-off period ends on friday, opening the door for 50,000 workers to go on strike if they choose to. a walk out on freight trains could cripple already strained supply chains and further stoke

inflation. freight trains transport about 40% of long-distance trade in the u.s. one report suggested a strike could cost the u.s. economy to billion dollars per day. amtrak has canceled cross-country passenger trains to prevent travelers from being stranded halfway through their journey. >> one should be able to count on the trains you can count on the elevator in your apartment building, or the flow of water and so on. it should be fundamental infrastructure that is at all times available. >> i don't think a lot of customers would take too kindly to that. especially those that are urgent, a lot of them being business trips. it will probably cause more harm than good. >> in europe, we are perhaps more used to the idea of rail strikes. but it would be the first nationwide rail strike since

1992 if it happened. >> rail strikes in the u.k. recently, but it sounds like if they happen in the u.s., it will be extremely costly. thank you. truth or fake, our daily fact checking segment. catalina is ready to go. a video purporting to be a protest against the far right movement in sweden, a large sec. of the eu government, truth or fake? >> swedish voters had the right wing block with an influential role on social media networks. this news has caused an outpouring of reactions, particularly with this video right here shared mainly amongst french-speaking users on twitter that sympathized with the anti-immigration swedish party. we see several women dressed in black avails, waving flags

around with words of arabic. it has accumulated over 300,000 views on twitter. these twitter users claim what we see in the video are islamist demonstrating against the rise of what they call the far right, against the victory of the right . more tweets right here once they show up. but how can we confirm the veracity of these tweets? first thing we do is check the geolocation of the post. and we were able to confirm the video we saw on the post took place in a coastal city in southern sweden. another clue for the geolocation, these figures right here, this sculpture we saw in the background of the videos posted on twitter, we were able

to confirm it was shot in sweden. more precisely, it took place in a square located in front of the art gallery. what really gives it away, besides the geolocation, is this flag right here that we see amongst the flags that they were waving in the video. this flag right here is a picture of the grandson of mohammed, an important figure, so we can conclude this gathering is actually a procession commemorating his death that take place during a 40 day morning period during the months of august and september. here we have an example of the same procession that took place right here last year in

september 2021. the same procession that took place last year. and we also found a livestream of the same event on twitter. this year it took place on september 10. how do we know it is the same video we saw on the twitter video? we confirmed it through this right here, who we saw in both videos, one on twitter and the other on the livestream. hence contrary to the claims this video posted on twitter are not islamists demonstrating against the rise of what they call the far right, it is actually a shiite religious procession. >> thank you very much. more news to come.
