the two men met several times when charles was prince of wales. s decision was taken, the president telephoned the king to explain that the first state visit of his reign would have to be postponed. so what should have been the glittering confirmation of a restored relationship with a ceremonial welcome here at the arc de triomphe will have to wait. paris, quite simply, is in no fit state to welcome the king and the queen consort. the entente cordiale between the two governments may be back on track after the post—brexit tensions, but on the streets of france, there is anger. and that's the problem. this was the town hall in bordeaux last night, a building the king and the queen consort had been due to visit next tuesday. and this was the national assembly a few days ago as france's prime minister did her best to explain why members weren't being given a vote on the pension reforms. the king had been due to address the french senate, and this very grand building is the palace of versailles, where the state banquet had been planned for monday evenin

the prince of wales was sometimes ridiculed about his interest in, in, in nature and the environment. and yet now he's bang on topic, isn't he? absolutely, i mean, as he said, it is the next essential challenge is, is the crisis of our generation and am with the work that he has done. he has highlighted that throughout his life, really. and even if he was maybe ridiculed for that in the u. k, i think in germany he struck a nerve with the environment. and the fact that he continues to do so also really highlights his, his is really an example of his dedication to the topic. and that when he is here, i mean he is not just visiting a hydrogen technologies. representatives are on our hydrogen technologies and hambrick. he's also visiting an organic farm here in berlin known as part of when a co village. and so his and yesterday night, he attended a sustainability reception at bellevue palace together with president frank. but as time maya says and hard visit is dotted with these events that are obviously have to do with the environments and sustainability. and i think that since a strong

prime minister was urgently launched kishida, and then to the creation of an alternative the prince of walesned the agenda, as a surprise for 20 minutes, william landed at the polish military base in brzeszow. this is a transshipment point for post western ammunition and weapons, the polish and british soldiers stationed here in the european union are going to be given work on thursday. at the eu summit it was decided that the european peace fund would continue to work for the war. i fully support the agreement. council of the eu aimed at supplying a million ammunition to ukraine over the next 12 months, of course, in order to achieve this we must massively increase the production of ammunition in europe for these. 2 billion will be allocated, one euro will be used to buy out those shells that still remain in the arsenals of european countries and it is possible to purchase something from south korea and the second for its own production of new ammunition. to do this, it will be necessary to expand the capacity, serious manufacturers are not eager to do so. it is they who need guarantees of

visit germany as a teenager with his now deceased mother and later visited here regularly, as the prince of walesthrone the heir to the richest history, however, in germany, as well as throughout the world, buckingham palace and its inhabitants. this is first of all endless reality shows, the british monarchy, of course popular in germany but it's such dubious popularity the focus of public attention is concentrated on how and why at a particular point in time is unhappy. family, wine. now there is a conflict related to the younger son of the king harry. that is, the british king is not a serious character, but a secular and even scandalous chronicle, which imposes certain restrictions on the perception of him as a political emissary, but britain has no other monarchy for the world and charles has to all the forces to work on the family image, shattered and their own efforts. diana has not yet been forgiven for everything by his numerous relatives, who are addicted to many sins from drugs to pedophilia, and here any public activity, of course, is good for everyone . ukraine you should definitely

, very practical title from the king is adapted actually from another book which the king won prince of wales involved with back in 2017. but the king has written a new afterword for this book. but crucially, it was written he was still the prince of wales which is why perhaps it is slightly not king like in the sense that he is giving a bit of an opinion now obviously climate is still politically a bit sensitive . it politically a bit sensitive. it is exactly. so this is what's and this the abridged version of what reports are the afterwards says he said is the prince charles who is now king. ever since i was a young teenager, i have been worried about the way we have shaped our world. i am pleased to see that children across the are now raising across the world are now raising the calling for big the alarm and calling for big changes efforts changes to happen. their efforts have emphasised the importance of about what's life. of caring about what's life. life will be in the future. that is a lesson for this for all of us. right and are we hoping to get a copy this this afternoon? so we actu

the king and the president have met before, when charles was the prince of wales, but their next meetingd. protesters who oppose raising the pension age from 62 to 64 feel vindicated. when you have a republican monarch like macron and a real monarch like charles iii dining together at versailles, i mean, it's about publicity. and i think it's a victory for us to have the visit cancelled because we know why it has been cancelled. so, yes, i think it is a victory, and we are quite happy about it. visitors who are still coming to paris are being greeted by some unattractive new attractions, but president macron�*s supporters insist reform is needed, and it's the bold thing to do. the best way to pave the way for a populist is to sweep the difficult issues under the rug. so, even when it's controversial, even when it's difficult, even when it's unpopular, we have to continue to act, we have to continue to reform. chanting the protests show no signs of abating. oil refineries have faced blockades, fuel shortages are worsening, some petrol stations have introduced rationing. and in the west of

he didn't mention his brother, william, the prince of wales, and he wasn't asked at all about the state he also wasn't asked whether he was coming to his father's coronation in may. so some big gaps in the conversation, in many ways very insightful, but some missing from facts. any mention of the royal household? i don't think there will be any, i think it will be as it has been with all of these things, particularly after the publication, they took the position i think because they were so much and so many allegations in so many allegations in so many allegations and some anything said that there really wasn't point in them having anything to say back. point in them having anything to say back-— to say back. could you tell us very quickly _ to say back. could you tell us very quickly who _ to say back. could you tell us very quickly who is _ to say back. could you tell us very quickly who is gabor- to say back. could you tell us i very quickly who is gabor mate and why did he choose to be interviewed by him? he and why did he choose to be interviewed by him?- and why did he choose to b
