we are not joined by the former conservative prime minister, sir john major. very good of you to moment in time. bbc news at this fears had been mounting throughout the day on the news from the queen's medical team at balmoral. what are your thoughts now on her passing? >> it is our breaking news. we'll be silk it would be delayed. it is very hard to take it in, that the radiant smile which lights up a room and lights up a country is just not going to be there for us anymore very hard to imagine. most of the people in this country can remember nothing other than the queen as monarch and many of those who are elderly remember faintly the former king. but this is an enormous change for this country, a big moment in history, a key, pivotal moment. and i think there will be many tears shed tonight and the next days over her majesty, the queen. clive: given your interactions with the queen as prime minister, what are your personal recollections of meeting her? sir john: there are so many recollections and different from what people might imagine. the private meetin

i expect in some ways it was quite comforting for prince charles to see john major there. he was brought in as sort of an official guardian to look after the interests of the young princes, and i know from talking to people around them that they really formed a very close bond, so i think william will have liked to have seen his old friend and mentor john major there. but you look at tony blair who's also there. he was back when princess diana died. he was the one or they were the team who really saw things were going wrong, badly wrong for the royal family. they were losing support. the front line headlines saying, do you care, show us you care. it really was the fact that tony blair and his advisers spotted that the queen was in trouble, and they intervened, quite impertinent really at the time, and they said, you need to come down from balmoral, you need the lower the royal standard, the flag at buckingham palace, you need to come and talk directly to the people. it was really tony blair who coo that. so in many ways people at the time were saying he saved the reputatio

we talked to former prime minister john major.e look back at her life, not just as monarch, but mother. her devotion to her family. this is the "cbs evening news" with norah o'donnell, reporting from the nation's capital. >> o'donnell: good evening to our viewers in the on this historic thursday night. the world is mourning queen elizabeth ii who died this afternoon at the age of 96, surrounded by family at her summer home in scotland. earlier in the day, buckingham palace announced that her majesty, who ruled over the commonwealth for a record 70 years, was placed under medical supervision. her doctors were concerned about her health. family rushed to her side. in accordance with the royal line of succession, her oldest son, charles, immediately became king, which put her grandson, prince william, next in line to the throne, followed by william's eldest son, nine-year- old prince george. just before her death was announced, a double rainbow appeared over buckingham palace as a crowd gathered. president biden visited the british e

i haven't seen sir john major as a former prime minister, i'm wondering whether he's there. you don't have to attend. this is entirely voluntary. you don't have to be there. in fact, they actually reduced -- there's lord mandleson. there's actually about 7 or 800 privy counselors now. earlier this year they changed the rules as to who could attend and they basically have the most important, the royal privy counselors, the great officers of state, the former prime ministers, et cetera. then there was a ballot for the remaining places. i don't know whether -- >> prime minister liz truss as well as the former prime ministers, including boris johnson, theresa may, gordon brown, john major in attendance at the accession council ceremony. >> leader of the opposition party as well. >> the order of the garter and two of those are in the order of garter, tony blare, and john major. rumored to be a republican. his wife certainly is. took a while to get brought into that club. but they are the two senior former prime ministers i argue. that's why they probably have more prominent posit

john major succeeds her. she leaves downing street in tin. mm. queen miss very upset. by the way in which mister satcher was deposed by the conservative party and she told somebody that all right miss, such a may have been todd and things, but it was a horrible way that it was done. and that's why i think it was very important that there was the queen kind of waiting in the wings. politically, elizabeth kingdom returns to normal, but suddenly her family life becomes a target for the tabloid press. in 1992, her son, andrew and his wife sarah separate. and then charles and diana's marriage breaks up . she's been on the throat a long time and now it's all falling apart. she was called the mother of a dysfunctional family. they all thought that, you know, it was her fault that her children had bad marriages. you mean the monarchy was under threat because people thought bull. what's the point of having a monarchy like that? you know, they're all scandals going on all the time and it was mr. dissolves ah! during the reception in november, the queen shows her true feelings. a

of course, i'm some friends, i saw john major, the former who was a friend of the queens, for instance as one, but a lot of the royal household, a lot of people who worked in the rural household a knew the queen privately. there were also governors of the realms and the commonwealth, which was of course something she loved so much. they were also there, but it was a lot of people from the role has or from normal works, blah walks of life, i should say several different clergymen. yes. oh indeed, the was the a minister from karate kick, which is the little local church that she always worshipped and, and bow moral. he was most probably the last priest to see her before she died most probably. and he, he spoke some of the prayers add as did the, the reverend from sandringham, one of her estates as well. and there was a lot of tradition of ancient tradition that we saw there. and more so than in westminster abbey. i thought, you know, we saw a, the king handing over the queen's company, carla, on to the coffin, you know, and also we saw the lord chamberlain who broke his it's called a one

. >> moments later we spoke with former prime minister sir john major, who served in office from 1990 to 1997. he was one of the first to pay tribute to the queen today, saying that in her public duties she was selfless and wise with a wonderful generosity of spirit. that is how she live and how she led. and the prime minister told us those traits were especially apparent during difficult times. >> one of the many gifts the queen has is that when she faces great difficulty, she has the capacity to be a stoic. she puts her head down. she plows on. she knows whatever the problems are, she will come through the other end of that. >> where did she get that resilience? >> oh, i think it is part of the training for monarchy. i mean, self-evidently, you need to be very selfless. you need to have a great understanding of the way your nation works and the way people think and act in order to be a successful monarchy. and you need a great capacity to discharge your obligations and your duty. and the queen had a remarkable sense of duty all her life. as a young lady, she pledged in her radio bro

you see 5, former crime, a 6 from a prime minister though i just spoke to john major as well. you got your major to resume david cameron. i saw gordon brown there for his johnson, and also kiersten are the head of the, of the current head of the opposition. you've got some ranking people there and then behind them a whole bunch of people. nobody's ever heard of. this is this, this part even to he earlier on about consent, and that's where the monarch fits in to this political system. it is a fudge because monex and not really supposed to have any power, but they are supposed to be the top dog. it's an interesting photon, it's always slightly fluid and they are they not in a way, you know, the constitutionalist to write about their with system works that sort of maintaining the magic of the monarchy in participating in the process. although it's sort of formal vote. yeah, well yeah, i mean there's no vote. there's no voting going on. this is, this is something that has happened. some people who believe would say by the grace of god, one monex died. the next monex become that mo

tony blair, forced johnson, john major there. fair scotland there. all of these people of course, contribute to what is going to be, we hope, as successful reign for king charles iii. he has got big shoes to fill. there's no denying that. he knows that more than anyone. but what they're also playing out here, is the wisdom of experience. you can at least say, even if you are worried about what comes next. that charles has learned from the master. if not the mistress. in having observed his mother's reign. and how well she did it in 70 years. >> when you talk about tradition, rebecca, my understanding is that when the invitations went out, they were even told the dress that was expected. nothing in this transition has been left to chance. >> no, and it's very important that they look the part as well. i think it will be too easy to wear the wrong kind of tie. or to go to the wrong shade of a day dress. and the whole aesthetic. it's very important that these things look exactly as we'd expect. >> and as you look over at this crowd. what comes to mind f

of sweden at the queen of denmark and the emperor of japan, but also former prime ministers like john major and tony blair. and of course senior members of the royal family. king charles was a member of the order of the garter for many years at when he was just the prince. he will know decide who joins the order the garter so that it's all that history built in to windsor castle. you remember back in the 19 ninety's, there was a huge fire here at the queen described in her annual address at christmas as a and his horrible is in latin, a horrible year and part of it was the fired at windsor castle. the government controversially decided it would pay for repairs. many people questioning why at that point the richest woman in the world wouldn't pay for repairs to her own private palace. but the government stepped in and paid for those repairs. feeling that they were obligated to do, so there was public fundraising for that. and the queen never forgot that. but this became as some weird the public could visit. does that so de got to see a little bit behind the cotton of the queen's private life

than others today, a veteran of british politics, margaret thatcher's successor as prime minister, john major of years ago, he made a diagnosis while giving a lecture to lawyers. major stated. we are no longer a great power. we will never be it again in a world where almost 8 billion britons live less than 1%. if we continue like this. all our politics will be disgusting, and our word as a nation, no one will believe. we must abandon the idea of ​​british exceptionalism. it is a fantasy that has seeped into the minds of those who do not know how much the world has changed. well, a report from our correspondent in london, alexander khabarov this week, a new prime minister appeared in the uk, and the monarch immediately changed the first event programmed by the second is quite expected. but who could have imagined that such a coincidence would occur, apparently this is one of her last photographs taken during her lifetime on tuesday september 6, elizabeth ii took the trails in her bolmoral castle in scotland to to formally appoint her prime minister, the queen was unable to come to london the n

moments ago, we spoke with former prime minister, sir john major, who served in office from 1990 to 1997he was one of the first to pay tribute to the queen today, saying that in her public duty she was selfless and wise with a wonderful generosity of spirit.d she led. and the prime minister told us those traits were especially apparent during difficult times. >> one of the many gifts the queen has is that when she faces great difficulty, she has the capacity to be a stoic. she put her head down. she plows on. she knows whatever the problems are, she will come through the other end of that. >> o'donnell: where did she get that resilience? >> oh, i think it is part of the training for monarchy. i mean, self-evidently, you need to be very selfless. you need to have a great understanding of the way your nation works and the way people think and act in order to be a successful monarchy. and you need a great capacity to discharge your obligations and your duty. and the queen had a remarkable sense of duty all her life. as a young lady, she pledged in her radio broadcast that i think from memor

complaints, which i don't think we necessarily experienced either, when gus o'donnell was representing john majord ingham. i think we knew where they came from, but they were more entitled to see that as part of the weather. now, in defence of alastair and peter mandelson who were also associated with that, yes, they were professional media handlers, but they were also people who were prepared and sought out exposing their principals, their cabinet ministers, the prime minister and all the others made them available. the problem now is we've got media handlers who are basically trying to shutdown access for journalists to the principals. and so we've got the worst of both worlds. we've got both the, kind of, you know, thick of it type of news management and pressure on journalists and even less access for the journalists, and therefore less access for the public to really scrutinise what the politicians are doing. and jon, before we talk about the podcast and how this might change it, in your experience as a bbc journalist, was there ever a situation where you were told to change something becaus

kerry and john major, he kept on the political fracture. pound is under pressure and it was down 15% with a crippling energy crisis. it is like a rerun. on this date in 1992, george sorrow made $1 billion as he trashed and bounced out of the exchange rate mechanism. it became known as black wednesday. let's take it to a man who also gets this. there is no other system that you were using there. talk us through, mark. is there any relationship between today and black wednesday? we are all searching deeply for a wrong correlation. mark: central banks are a bit smarter. they do not usually host specific targets in front of traders and tried to push the rates beyond that. that was on the problem of the exchange rate mechanism. in the case of the pound, the pound gets a bullish market, and when it reached trading day, the central banks got all of that from germany and it was supposed to step in for the currency to re-stabilize it. but then we have a limited exercise on how we go for that and even central banks have currencies falling through the

he is not intending to be a backseat driver like margaret thatcher was to john major. he emphasized the manifesto and there may be questions about her mandate, but technically, the conservatives -- liz truss has a more radical libertarian agendas and that manifesto -- in that manifesto. johnson quoted his legacy, the vaccine rollout, the war in ukraine, but a positive message as he leaves. francine: what can we expect from liz truss in terms of plans? can her energy plan calm the markets? lizzy: as you mentioned, there is a deutsche's note that unless she can -- price, it will affect the prices of sterling. she has energy bills on the one hand and on the longer term fix the energy status in the u.k. if that is not a handout, it is hard to see what is, but economists are saying it is unavoidable even if it is expensive because the energy crisis facing most u.k. households this winter will be so painful. it is worrying if this is the new normal. you have seen all of these moves in sterling over the summer. economists blamed those moves on the instability left in the tran

charles pole who served as private secretary to both john major and margaret thatcher told me that the queen knows every inch of this country in a way. no one else does. she spends so much time meeting people that she hasn't understanding of what other people's lives are like she understands what the normal human condition is. she's also spent an extraordinary amount of time honoring citizens and members of the military for exemplary service in 60 years. she has conferred more than 400,000 honors and awards and given them in person over 600 times. people need pats on the back. sometimes she has said it's a very dingy world otherwise traveling with the queen was particularly valuable, especially the overseas royal tour. i took to bermuda and trinidad. she was 83 years old at the time and her program called for long days of meeting and greeting. her stamina was impressive matched only by 88 year old prince phillip. whenever they go off on a trip together like that the lord chamberlain always accompanies to the airport and phillip terms around and waves adam him and says mind the shop. i

things have changed. >> john: major political shift in europe with right wing parties performing wellswedish elections, voters concerned about immigration and crime. bring you the director of the heritage foundation margaret thatcher center for freedom, it's good to see you. so, we have in italy, georgia maloney, probably going to become italy's first prime minister, a hard right candidate. and in sweden, formed by neo-nazis and skin heads likely to be the largest party in the sweden party, the vox party in spain, marine lepin made it into the final round in france. since the end of world war ii, western europe has identified with liberalism more than anything else. what's causing the shift? >> many things, thanks for having me on the show and as you mentioned, we are looking at a political revolution taking place in italy with the country's first female prime minister about to take power there, georgia maloney, who is somebody who stands for very robust conservative principles, and i think what we are seeing in italy is a rejection of the ruling political elites in that country. trad

john major david cameron of orest johnson. that's resume to queen elizabeth was of course, the head of the commonwealth, a group of $56.00 independent nations that include the republic, south africa of course, one of them. i was just curious how tarza is live for us in johannesburg at what's the mood that today? hello. it's very low key. some south africans are watching the funeral on. the tv sits at home or in cafes, but others are not. that could be have something to do with maybe colonial history either paint what history that button has with saw that for again, other african countries or those who are remembering her whole morning. her are remembering the times he visited this country like united what he stedman, as a young girl. she came with her family. that was a timeless segregation between the racism historian say, she quietly spoke about how she was unhappy with the way black africans were being treated in south africa. for example, they couldn't vote, they were treated badly, they were, they were exploited. and then

we have seen several former prime ministers, david cameron, boris johnson, john major, tony blair alle past five minutes. and we expect shortly to see the current prime minister liz truss, the queen's 15th and final prime minister. she is expected to arrive shortly. she will be giving the lesson at the beginning of the service. and then, of course, we will expect to see members of the royal family beginning to arrive. you can hear the tenor bell continuing to toll. it will toll a total of 96 times over 96 minutes to commemorate the 96 years that queen elizabeth ii lived, erin. >> and now let's go to nina dos-santos at buckingham palace. that is where the royal members of the family, some of them, at least, are about to leave for the funeral. we're about to see that procession from there to westminster abbey. nina, what is happening there? obviously we are momentarily awaiting seeing them. >> reporter: yeah. that's right, erin. well, i was just looking to check and the royal standard is still flying high over buckingham palace meaning the king the monarch is in residence. we're expecti

our prime minister, said she embodied the continuity and the unity of the uk, with tributes from john major, from tony blair, we can expect to some really heartfelt words in the chambers today and tomorrow, from westminster, as mps are given that opportunity -- and obviously, for king charles iii, huge huge, huge shih shoes to fill. shoe to fill. >> mhari, thank you for that. and certainly we will have full coverage of those events in the houses of parliament and certainly here as well some of those tributes from members of parliament in from the lords as well. >> leaders from around the world as well have been offering their condolences after the queen's death joe biden, barack obama, russia's president vladimir putin even have been among the global leaders paying their respects. the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy said her majesty's death is a heavy loss for you around the whole world. are you worse correspondent mark stone reports as the world mourns. e worl mo urns >> she was, he had said, more than a monarch, she defined an era. and with that reflection, the american president

remember john major when he did his first prime minister press conference, his hands are shaken so muchot read his papers. yes, given everything that has been turned out this week, she's doing a good job. >> shall we move on to the star. i want to bring in one more paper, the start on sunday, the focus is again on those two couples reunited, is the headline. there's also the other element he wanted to pick out which was the queen of laughs in the top right hand corner. >> one thing that the prime minister keeps talking about is a wonderful sense of humor -- we saw in the 2012 olympics when she did the sketch with james bond. we saw her at the jubilee with paddington bear but also in private, so you got prime ministers saying at the weekly audience, it was a great laugh. we had good gossip. it is the one time both of them -- >> funny that because i've done a lot of research about her majesty and as a new queen in the 40s and 50s. which before she became queen in canada and then popped over to america on the commonwealth tour, one of the criticisms in all the press was that she did not sm

and obviously, tributes from all over both sides of the house as well, even for premises like john major we know, because parliamentary businesses actually suspended until after the 21st of september, things will look slightly different in westminster for the next couple of weeks. the other question we still don't know about is whether king charles iii we'll be meeting with liz truss, the current prime minister, today. we know they are potentially going to be returning to london today. will that meeting be today or perhaps another day? we don't know the details of that yet. but at some point, we do expect liz truss, the new prime minister, to meet the new king, king charles iii as well. the real thing to remember here is, the queen embodies such as stoic, sound, exemplary measure when it came to her dealings and the way she -- the heavyweight of the crown. she has really created a bit of a huge shoes to fill their, for king charles iii, and for all future monex. i think she set the benchmark extremely, extremely high. >> she did indeed. mhari aurora, live there, from westminster. thank y
