>> i'm david eades. how highly will syria feature in discussions? >> and painkillers and the players. fifa reveals how players are risking their health days before the euro tournament. >> hi, everyone. and welcome to buckingham palace where the cleanup is well and truly under way. the 12,000 people who had tickets and the 10,000 gathered outside. i was there amongst the crowd, and it really was a fantastic star-studded night of entertainment.

all eyes on today with what will happen with the queen attending a thanksgiving service. and many are looking forward to the procession where the royal family will stand on the famous balcony behind me at the end of the day and the national anthem will be played after these four days of celebration. but there will be one man missing prince filip who has stood beside the queen so many times has been kept in hospital. we understand it's for observation. he has a bladder infection, but they are just keeping him there to keep a close eye on him over the next couple of days. here's our royal correspondent. ♪ >> forget the pomp and pageantry, this was all about the party. >> it is greatest party that could ever be.

>> the lineup and reflection of the queen's 60 years on the throne. ♪ >> buckingham palace was the backdrop, buts a at times the stage. madness on the roof an ambition touch ♪ our house in the middle of our street ♪ ♪ >> and prince charles spoke of his mother's commitment to her role and his father. >> dearly saddening about this evening is that any father couldn't be here with us. because unfortunately, he has taken unwell, but ladies and gentlemen, we if we shout loud enough, he might just hear it in hospital. >> as the queen met some of the performers backstage after the show, there was a real sense from those who had been watching, that they had seen something special. >> we'll never see something

like that again in our lifetime. >> best him. absolutely wonderful. i wouldn't have missed it for anything in the wrled. >> today the jube lee events are much more formal. there was a full military dress rehearsal last week ahead of today's service and carriage procession to the palace. for the past 60 years the duke of edinboro has been by the queen's side for almost every grand occasion. him not being with her today perhaps takes some of the shine that you have jube lee celebration. "bbc news," buckingham palace. >> and david, we are just hearing word from the palace that the queen has recorded a special message of thanks to

all these who have takin' part in performance and to everyone across the commonwealth. >> we wait for that. it has been an extraordinary few days of pageantry, color, but a punishing schedule as well which to a certain extent may have taken a toll on prince filip. do we know more about this? >> we know he has a bladder infection, and they are keeping him in hospital just for observation. they don't seem to be too worried. doctors said the usual thing here so give the patient a course of antibiotics and keep a close eye on him. the sprins 90 years old, he turns 91 this sunday. so they are wanting to keep him

-- keep an eye on him. he stood entire 90 minutes with the queen on the river thames so perhaps he could be taking time to put his feet up as well. >> let's move on now with the rest of the world's news. we start with president vladimir putin expecting to talk about trade and will be meeting with hu jintao later in the day. the two are expected to discuss the syrian crisis. these two so far have resisted the pressure from the west. before, china's envoy describes syria as one of the most pressing issues on the agenda. >> i feel they might feel they have common ground with regard to syria but not quite a common

front, is it? >> well, certainly, as you indicated, president assad's government in fact they blocked two u.n. resolutions and both favor the plan from kofi annan. but as that plan seems to be unraveling, these two will face more pressure from the rest of the world to try to do what they can to step in and stop the conflict. of course with them resisting these u.n. resolution, perhaps they will feel more pressure to come up with something. one of the things on the agenda is the regional grouping of

russia, china and central asian countries who discuss things like terrorism, illegal drugs trade that, kind of thing also quite importantly, there will be discussions about economic ties. vladimir putin is bringing business leaders and senior officials with him to talk about just that. of course russia is a supplier of energy and china is a big user of that energy. so they are -- they have been talking about the gas contract for the last couple of years and haven't been able to agree on a price. that's certainly going to be a big area of cooperation. other business deals except on a civilian airliner. so three days packed full of topics. >> michael, thank you very much indeed.

we'll be right over that over the next three days. now leading medical official with fifa warned international footballers risk damaging their livers and kidneys by taking painkillers over the tournaments. he reveals almost 50% of players were using medication before every match, an extraordinary thattistics. i'm joined by medical scientist . that's an alarming percentage, isn't it? >> yes. the numbers are increasing. they are alarmed and they think it's time for football to wake up to this particular problem. >> and is this about picking pick up with injuries and trying to get through yet another game or to go as far as saying i need to prevent injury?

>> it's both. it's players taking painkillers and doctors prescribing painkillers. what's really concerning doctors is the taking of medications before a game so if they do have an injury, it's thought it could less at any injury. >> and that is growing problem across world sport? >> yes. >> the cross sports in europe, football, soccer, in athletics, weightlifting, cycling, and the same pattern emerges. in the united states, in the nfl. there's a group of players suing the league for the use of them because they believe they

contributed to their concussions. that's their argument. and there are other cases as well going nonice hockey as well. >> perhaps coming to a head, this issue. thank you. >> a canadian man accused of killing and dismembering his lover and filming the attack. the man known as "the canadian psycho" was captured at an internet cafe. >> when he was finally cornered, he said to the berlin police, you've got me. the 29-year-old had been the subject of a the points, the fugitive of the highest danger to the public. he fled from canada to france thrown berlin where he was spotted. >> he was checking into by

himself on the web. i called the police after checking pictures. i double-checked, and then i was sure. >> in this flat at montreal, he's thought to have filmed himself killing his lover with an ice pick then dismembering him. during the video he displayed, the music "american psycho" was playing in the background and then he sent a zehred foot to -- a severed foot to government offices. >> we were waiting for the finger prints that confirm his identity. >> in paris the police tracked him through his mobile phone

signals but arrived at his hotel just after he'd left. he'd stayed a jump ahead of police through disguise. he wore lipstick and wigs and even had plastic surgery to make himself look like james dean. he is now behind bars. "bbc news," berlin. >> we've got a conference call to look forward to today. >> yes. finance ministers and central bankers will all be talking at a conference later on tuesday. this was by jim, the canadian finance ministry. what's going to come of this? we don't know. the glack hole in spain in financing and greece's possible exit from the euro. plenty to talk about. but the markets really have been looking that the conference call and yesterday

if you remember asian stocks were down quite heavily. today if you take a look at the nikkei, the rest of asia also more positive in terms of european stocks, this is where the ftse closed out yesterday. 12 rest of europe following asia's lead. >> and the european issues, the ripals go far and wide. and we're getting another flavor of that today, right? >> yes. the national carrier qantas. problems in the euro zone downturn, international travel, higher fuel prices all these contributing to qantas' decision and it's said profits could fall a huge difference. job cuts, a restructuring of the business. it has had strikes also satelliting at business so it

looks like it is doing its best to try to change the course of things and to improve its business. >> well, a tiny bit of profit is better than no profit at all, i guess. thank you for watching "bbc world news" with me, david eades. coming up. seeing double. an austrian found a new home in china. >> this is "bbc world news." the headlines this hour. after a stellar concert outside buckingham palace. the final day of the jube lee weekend will be marked by services at the cathedral. the royal family will be in attendance with the exception of prince filip. he is in hospital with a bladder infection. and russia's president, vladimir putin arrives in china for talks and syria likely to

be featured heavily. let's get a flavor as to what we can expect in the diamond jube lee celebrations for today. we can go back to my colleague, losey who is outside buckingham palace. lucy? >> well, one thing people are expecting but hoping doesn't happen is rain. the sun has come out. everybody is hoping it will stay that way. today with the queen. also as you mentioned with prince film who is in hospital right now with a bladder infection. we can now talk to our reporter who is outside king edward hospital. have we had an official update from the palace this morning? >> no. not yet. we are in touch with them. we are hoping to hear something from them, but no official update yet. we are already at the end of the duke's first night here at the king edward vii hospital in central london.

if the mood outside here is anything to go by, the mood has seemed like a calm, quiet, peaceful night. we saw just a faw flowers being glived here in the early morning hours but what is so sad is that this hospital is not too far from where you are now so the squ ubilee celebrations are going on all around him, he so much wanted to be a part of this. but he is here was a as -- here all as a precautionary measure. experts seem to think the way to treat it will be antibiotics, and just to give you background too his health, he is 91 but the had that heart square just before christmas last year but recovered from that. ehe said the hope is that he

will make a full and swiftt recovery and we're not too far from you but he would have probably heard those crowds and cheers when prince charles asked the public to send their best wishes. so -- >> simon, thanks so much for that update. we will continue to bring you progress reports of prince film throughout the day. but let's -- prince filip. throughout the day. but certain people involved in the various aspects of the celebration. joining me is the vice chamber lynn. >> by tradition the vice chamber is a senior member of the government office in the house of commons but that person also has demutes connection with the royal household for instance being

present on formal occasions to so this afternoon i will be at the national service of thanksgiving. >> on occasion you have been taken heroes sng >> yes. we do have a tradition going back hundreds of years so when we have the opening of state parliament and the queen reads the program for the year ahead, on that day one member is sent to buckingham palace to be held heroes taj make sure the queen returns safely. >> fur going to be locked up, it's a pretty nice way of doing it. then you're obviously pleased when her majesty returns safely and they let me go. >> and you are -- >> one of the roles is i sometimes a few times a year as an official messenger from the house of commons to her majesty, so i would come to the palace to present certain messages.

then if there's a reply from the queen, i go back, march in and read out her relie on her behalf but then yes you do have to march backwards in a straight line. >> how do you find confine? >> she's charming and she knows you're nerve us to first time and she's very good at putting you at your ease and relaxing you so that you can carry out your duties. >> she is very interested in the of it? >> yes. she very interested in duties. and every day in the house of common to prepare a summary for her what m.p.'s have been debating and if there were any important votes, what were they

? i'm told she reads that very carefully every evening. so i take that seriously. >> one of the many roles fulfilled here at the palace and of course in the queen's ceremonial life. but preparations well under way for the remainder of the celebration. >> thank you lucy. astronomers are gearing up for one of the rare events and here is our correspondent. >> the brightest star in the night sky isn't a star at all. it's the planet venus. every now and again, the earth and venus are in perfect alignment, and we can see venus cross the sun's surface. the transit can be seen from the u.k., but you will have to be up at sunrise. >> if you want to tornado watch transit tomorrow, it couldn't

be -- want to watch the transit tomorrow, it couldn't be easier, but you can't watch it directly, or you could harm your eyes. if you haven't gotten any of these, try binoculars projecting the sun's raise on to a piece of paper. so again, don't look directly at the sun. if you haven't gotten any binoculars, make a hole in a piece of paper and project the sun on to another piece of paper. there's the sun there. tomorrow morning is the last.
