it is $1300.00 gmc, this is al jazeera britton's king charles. the 3rd is making his way through london towards buckingham palace where he will meet the country's new prime minister list truss. a few moments ago he touched down in london at the royal air force base r. f no fault. he's accompanied by his wife, the queen, consort camilla, and these a live pictures from central london. i'll just here is andrew simmons reports now on the day's events so far. the 1st public image of king charles the 3rd. he became the new monarch the moment his mother died. and here he prepares to leave scotland. at 73, the old is king in british history. no other monarch had been air to the throne for so long, and with 7 decades of the queen's reign. now over king charles is preparing to address the nation later on. his speech is at waited by millions and at buckingham palace. the mood is a solemn as it was when the announcement of her death was made. a steady stream of mourners, each with some way of expressing themselves. others standing still, frozen in thought, flowers and messages spread out from all over the world. she was known as the grandmother of the nation, but to the people here. they think she was much more than that in the good times exuding charm and fun. in the bad times, giving comfort and calm. she was the longest serving mana can british history. and with it came a sense of permanence. wilma harris feels that way. i think that really was that whole sense of downhill inequity. what will happen rappa? and unfortunately that's not the case. and i think that will really, really miss and wish wish that you can carried on with him. and he took for a and office worker says she still can't take it to find out what this is not going to be any one like can like ever, like, no one she she's to factor. she's gotten so high in everyone's kind of high something. anyone can be connecting with and others feel she unified people and calm them and times of crisis. especially during the pandemic impacts of just a few us from her tend to settle the nation in a way that anything else really can. at this point, i think every one here as reflecting the scene sadness, but at the same time, gratitude for her service or not. and she, yeah. and it's people case in westminster. m. p. 's gathered to collectively give tributes to the queen that father will cry. minister list for us. she'd been appointed by the queen. only 2 days before she died. her late majesty, queen elizabeth the 2nd was one of the greatest leaders. the world has ever known. she was the rock on which modern britain was built. she came to the throne at just 25 in a country that was emerging from the shadow. will she bequeath a modern dynamic nation that has grown and flourished under her rank? the united kingdom is a great country. it is today a cause of ha, so many memories of an extraordinary woman whose waves from the buckingham palace balcony over 7 decades. and for all the world, despite her mobility problems, she'd excel during the platinum jubilee celebrations in june. now the balcony is empty. standing above the grief of a nation. andrew simmons out ezra london. esco live now to buckingham palace in london out as eras that in baba is that the dame king charles the 3rd then on his way to buckingham palace. he'll be there within the next few minutes. that's right in the crowd. well aware of that people still streaming towards buckingham palace as they have been doing for the last her well, at least the last 12 hours. the skies now were cleared. it was a rainy morning, but people still determined to be here. i've seen quite a few people in the last half an hour, arriving with bouquets of flowers. they've been asked not to lay them here at buckingham palace, but especially provided areas in green park next to here and hyde park and other places such as windsor castle. there have been a gun salutes. 96 round gun salutes across the nation. not just here in london in hyde park places like edinburgh, cardiff, and belfast, prince charles himself has got a very busy or sorry, king charles, a very busy schedule, despite the fact that he will be grieving his late mother. he is on his way, as you said, he'll be here very shortly, but he's already announced the beginning of a period of national morning to last 7 days beyond the state funeral for a queen. elizabeth, we don't exactly know the date of that, so it is an extended period every where you go. flags are at half mast or there are m reminders of exactly the high esteem the term. the queen was held in by various institutions, even at the railway stations. there are special billboards up. unions have called off industrial action for the next week, or in light of the queen's passing sports events have been cancelled. and even the people that are gathering here may want to put on their television sets or watch on their phones later on at 6 o'clock local time. king charles will actually be addressing the nation, a pre regord recorded address. lots of people wondering what kind of message and how he's feeling basically beyond that on saturday morning for the 1st time ever, the body called the accession council will formerly proclaim him king charles the 3rd and that will be televised. that's a 1st. it reminds you that for many people in this nation, the 1st time they will have actually seen a television set, the older generation which were queen elizabeth's coronation in 19, in the 1950s, a very different era now. but of course, this is a new technological era, and lots of people will probably want to watch that event on saturday morning as well. so tributes, then in person floor attributes. there's an online and there's an online forum where people could actually sign a virtual, a book of condolence. and let's not forget that it's not just british people who wants to do so. there are people here from around the world who have some kind of connection, whether they're from a commonwealth mation or not. some will have actually met the queen. she of course, she was involved in so many charities in so many different terms. strands of society, some through the armed forces may have come into contact with her. and then prince charles as well. he's well known for his environmental activism. many people wandering. in fact, whether he'll continue to try to push his interest in that he said that he realizes there's a difference in tone that he has to strike as a monarch now and, but still it's a, it's a subject that matters daily to him. and so it's a new, it's a new and it's going to be a new approach, i think because prince charles is already more of a known figure than his mother ever was. despite all of those public engagements, lots of challenges for him. lots of questions about the unity of this nation. he knows that lots of or eisen is around him right now. he will be here shortly. and i think the term, the, with the tone that he strikes will be interesting in terms of acknowledging that things are changing as well as of course, paid tribute to his late mother. i came to the barber avoiding lying fair from buckingham palace, king charles the third's motorcade, just passing marble arch there in london's west end at be making his way down to hyde park corner from there on to a buckingham palace. let's bring it out to 0, sir. diplomatic, get it sir. james bass, who sir outside the houses of parliament in westminster, not too far away from buckingham palace in central london. james, as nadeem was saying, there, the new king has a pretty busy few hours ahead of him. yes, a few hours ahead of the of the king. i think crucial hours. i mean, he is the king already, but that a session council i think is the thing to watch that takes place on saturday morning london time because that is the privy counsellors that's of ancient body that still exists. used to be the body, the made it advice for the king when the king used to rule alone. and that joined in the secession council by representatives of the other countries where he is now the king. cuz it's not just the u. k. 14 other countries have him as head of state . that's an important up gathering on saturday. but also on saturday, we'll have a continuation of what's going on in the house of commons right now, which is tributes coming in to the late queen. and you heard earlier in the program less trust the prime minister, who's only been in her job for a few days, paid tribute. she said in an incident yesterday, our lives changed forever. now we send a message that we are not afraid. the leader of the opposition kiersten are saying she was this great country's greatest monarch. he also said that we must use her spirit. we must pull together. we must avoid the passionate disagreement that normally takes place in the british parliament and house of commons. we are always better when you we unite an oddly after he said that we've seen little bit of that and we've seen it with a lot of applause and amusement from 2 speeches by former prime ministers, boris johnson, who was prime minister until earlier this week. but was effectively ousted earlier this summer by his own m. p. 's and had most or much of his cabinet turn against him. well, everyone was laughing and unmoved by the words that he said earlier in the comments and then to resume another recent former prime minister. she said that the queen of the late queen was the most impressive head of government or state she'd ever met. and she said, the weekly audience you had with her was the one the event where she could speak candidly, knowing that what was said wouldn't be briefed to the press by any one. and then she gave her a very amusing anecdote of attending a picnic in balmoral and where they were all mocking in putting the food out. she put some cheese out and fell on the floor. she thought what do i do? and so she picked up quickly, picked up the cheese, put it back on the table, turned around and saw the queen just smiling. and apparently the queen said nothing of the genie stayed on the table. james, the king charles besides medicaid is just going around hyde park corner. it's now heading along a constitution. hill very nearly at buckingham palace is just at the end of the constitution hill here. stay with us. james. i want to bring in rob patterson for a moment. he is at balmoral the king left balmoral only a couple of hours ago. rob that's right. and we understand that he and when consort have been making their way to aberdeen airport and then have flown. and so, since you say they're not watching the cavalcade, the procession going through the center of london, the rest of the royal family, we still don't have any details of buckingham palace or very for want of a better phrase, cagey about giving details about the movements of by many members of the whole family unless is absolutely necessary, we are understand that at least some members of the royal family are still at bo, moral castle, but it's been interesting standing outside here for the last 23, i was watching the flow of people who been coming in to cross those bridge just ahead of the gates here and be able to put their foot flowers and tributes and small candles and so on. a messages in front of the gates of the castle here robin, it's me. i just can't rob. i'm sorry. i'm sorry to interrupt you for a moment. rob blow to kate has now arrived at buckingham palace. king charles and the queen consoled camilla. i have left the vehicle at the entrance of the gates to buckingham palace. there is a huge crowd at the gates of buckingham palace at the moment of the crowd is cheering the new king there and he has stepped out of the car in order to to meet some of them. let's pause for a moment and i'll just take the scene in a with with members of the public. they're expressing their condolences to the new king who lost his mother what 24 hours ago now and ascended to the throne. oh, what a gesture that that is, the thing i will bring in, christopher wilson, about his world, byron biographer, joined us at live from london. a chris or i don't know whether you can see these pictures. but that huge crowd there, buckingham palace, you would have perhaps expected low decay just to sweep through the gates of the palace, but know that the new king wanted to stop and to meet as many well wishes as he could. i think this is a very significant moment and he's got a lot on his place. he's got affairs of state to worry about. he's got the death of his mother. he's got the difficulties which he faces in re bringing in a new administration, a buckingham palace. it will be very different, a group of people from the, the people who've been administering the queen. so all of that scott st place and the fact that he can find time to go and press the flesh, i think is terribly important. it also, this is a significant development from his mother. his mother would never have done something like that. she go out on a walk about and she would shake people's hands is up to no question that you probably shake more hands of more people around the world. than any single other individual, but to see him going out and doing this is, you know, tremendously good. a falling of actually at the queen's platinum jubilee. he suddenly discovered that if you just go and touch people's hands, how much it means to them. pap, the paps, christopher it, it also indicates a very early on it's, it's a marker of how he intends his, his reign to be just at just how he he has he will behave as a monarch. he appears to want to be close to the people i think that's i think very good. you know, he is much loved. oh, more controversial figure by far than his ever mother ever. was that no question of that. and because you can see, you look at the, the, the expressions on people's faces, on the one hand unit sang frog in front of bugging patterson. i really, ah, you know, shocked and, and, and in all of the loss of this long serving queen arm. but same time, you really want to talk about what of touches and he is doing this brilliantly. i'm sorry to say, i think truly he has left camilla behind. he's doing it by himself. christopher, for the moment. many thanks indeed that sir. well, biographer, christopher wilson, in london, let's go back to our diplomatic editor, james bay's, who is in westminster, and is unable to, to see, even though he's not very far away from, from where this is happening on a policy that the remarkable pictures we're seeing here. james of, for, of the you king who as christopher was pointing out has it has on a lot on his plate to day a reminders once again what, what the new king will be doing once he finally gets inside buckingham palace. yeah, i mean a lot on these plays at a time when just hours ago, his mother died or been you know, it's a very, i mean he must feel really torn by the duty and the duty instilled in him by the job he now has. but also by his mother's example, and what he has to do, he's entering buckingham palace now for the 1st time as the king. he's been in this building 70 times. he's lived there. as a child, he's visited there. you know, every week, almost throughout his life. some difficult times as well during that period when he was married to diana, princess of wales and the attention of on him when that marriage failed and the divorce difficult times in the past and difficult times in the palace in the past, he now must meet all of those who are now his staff because the queen's staff now become the king's staff and, and, and charter course of course that he has been planning for all his adult life. but it's so different now. it's different for everyone in this country, but i'm so different for him. he is now the king is becoming hours. he's going to meet her very soon. in fact, in the next half hour, 40 minutes or so, the new prime minister list tries to of course, met his mother for her last public, a egg occasion before her death. just 3 days ago balmoral, when she presided over the transfer of prime ministers from boris johnson to mistrust she, i'm sure we'll be giving her condolences and that of the nation to the new king. she's already spoken to him on the telephone, but she'll be doing that in person. and then i think a really important moment. he's obviously been thinking about in recent hours, but probably for a long time before what he was going to say because we're going to have that important. busy first address by the brand new king to his people. and when i say his people, yes, i mean the people of the u. k. but also the 14 other countries where he is the head of state where he is the king, the commonwealth, because he is the head of the commonwealth. and also the anglican church to way where, where he is. it is the key figure. so all of those different audiences will be watched incredibly keenly here in the u. k. but a global audience for that speech to a james. stay with us. i want to ask you one more question before we leave you. but but in the meantime let's go to rob matheson then at balmoral castle in scotland. rob, i'm that very public arrival. the prince. 3rd, king charles the 3rd now in london outside. buckingham palace. very, very different to his departure just a few hours ago from by that's right. he left in a car by another exit. sam went to aberdeen airport in order to be able to catch a flight to london. that the family keeping a very low profile at this point, because obviously this is what is regarded as the oil of families foam. is a very distinct difference between the way that apparently that the family regard. they're different from the premises. i've run the country. buckingham palace, for example, was always seen as essentially a home office. it was a house, but it was also where they worked in the castle. this is seen as something else again, but all mall was something that was very special to the royal family with something that gave them privacy. it gave him the chance to relax and then be for want of a better voice, normal human beings. not least because they were able to walk around the guns hand guns about 50000 acres of land. and they were able to walk around that freely with very little security. they were driver on the local villages. they would shop in the local shops and that made local people very protected all of protective of them . and that built up a very strong relationship with the local community here. and what we've been seeing over the last few hours with people heading towards the main gate just behind me and dropping off flyers and tributes and so on. is an indication of the chance the local people to be able to show their respects as well. but the key, the king will also, as james was alluding to earlier on he has a great deal of administration to go through over the next few days as well. as being in a period of morning, and part of that of course, is the preparations and the, the organization, the final organization, all the details for his mother's funeral, whose mother's funeral, the queen's funeral am on sunday. i can tell you that the queen's coffin is going to be moved from ball moral to the palace of holy root in edinburgh. they are going to be proclamations, maiden calling to scotland, wales and northern ireland. then on monday was going to get the fastened procession along the royal mild descent, joyous cathedral where the queen's profitable rest is going to be a service held fair. the public may then get a chance to walk past the coffin at saint giles cathedral. and on tuesday, the coffin is expected to be flown to london and to rest in buckingham palace. so all his plans, of course, have been already put in place. but this will be the king's 1st opportunity to essentially put his final seal and stamp on those out there is rob madison reporting live from bow moral a costly scotland. meanwhile, at buckingham palace, the king having met a great number of people upon his arrival there at buckingham palace, but walk about if we can refer to it as that went on for a good 10 minutes or so that the queen and the queen, the king of the king's consorts, camilla now examining the full tributes that have been left at the gate of buckingham palace. let's bring it diplomatic. it is a james based on james. while we, while we watch this, that the king a now about to, to walk through the gates of buckingham palace in that building behind you there, westminster palace. that the house of commons has been in special session. there was also a, a, a gun salute, a $96.00 gun salute right across at locations across the country earlier. yeah, we've had bells ringing across the country. we've had this 96 gun salute. and we've had m. p. 's who have been paying tribute to the late queen. and i'm saying, i think if you had the prime minister this trust saying what an awesome responsibility now is in the hands of king charles as he entered buckingham palace as the king. for the very 1st time meeting the prime minister in about half an hour's time for their 1st audience. just 3 days after she took the job. and of course she was given the job by the late queen. it's worth telling you that among those tributes, it's been a moment in the house of commons, i think real sadness, but also some loft and affection. because we've been hearing anecdotes, particularly from 2 former prime ministers, who certainly will not flavor of the month among their own party, even a pretty recently one boris johnson, who as you know, left office earlier this week, but basically was ousted earlier in the summer by his own party above many of its own cabinets. well that laughing with him today, commiserating with him as he's mean. he's been giving his recollections and also teresa by another form, a prime minister, gave a speech that many i'm told him to come and said was one of the best speech you've ever heard of, ache with her own views, her own anecdotes in her own moments of affection towards the late monarch who she said, she's as prime minister, had some state and government around the world. she said she was the most infect effective and most intelligent of any head of state she met anywhere in the world. so lots attributes here in the house of commons and they will continue every m p wants to say, that's why the city will go until 10 pm tonight. and after the formalities that take place in the morning on saturday, the house of commons will be sitting again in the afternoon. some of the m. p 's will be declaring their oh, sub allegiance to the new king. some of the senior ones, the rest of them will get charged through the commons, gets back in ordinary session. and again, they'll be going to 10 o'clock in the evening. all on saturday he said every and he can have their say about late queen are diplomatic. it is a james bays reporting live there from westminster and central london. many thanks . deeds james les bringing christopher wilson once again. the world biographer are christopher i just struck by the imagery here of king charles the 3rd. the queen consoled camilla walking alone through the gates of buckingham palace after stopping the motorcade. unless the king greeting as many of his subjects as he could within a but a sort of a 10 minute time frame. what, what did you make of it? well, i've got say i share with you that image of the to them walking, it's a very lonely life, being a molecule surrounded by people at all times. you never, never free. and yet you live a very lonely life at the top of the tree. and i think that's back shot of them. it exemplifies that very much indeed. it interested me to watch charles doing his walk about and it's unprecedented. i can't think in british history of any monarch at the moment that they had become came, or queen, stepping out and meeting the ordinary people. there too busy meeting ministers and courtiers and important people around the world. they didn't have time for the older folk. and yet, prince charles absolutely grabbed the moment, i think, i don't know whether it was pre arranged or whether he just suddenly decided to go for it. but it certainly, i think, is a great mark of what we might expect from him. and by the way, i must say that his hand must be hurting like hell, just a moment because princess diana once told me that the difficulty you have when you go and shake people's hands. if there was grab you terribly hard. and here you should probably, you know, 100 hands, maybe 200 hands during that thing and he's going to be nursing a few bruises on that right hand for a day or 2. you say that he laid down a mark that what, what did you mean by that about about how perhaps he intends on his his reign to be as far as i can clear, sir. yes. yeah. i think may be come closer than the queen. the queen, are you any you can say that she was a remote figure out what she did was she had marked out the way that her character should be. for example, we talked before about her jokes with paddington, bare and, and a james bond that, that sort of thing. but you never really saw that in the queen's daily life. she kept herself, you know, just like a back from everything. here we see something else. we're seeing touchy feely, and i think this is all very good because you know, monica has to move on. it's going to move on fast and particular, it has to change when the sovereign change on some gutter, ask you to speculate here. but prince charles, as, as he was before, he ascended to the throne, was criticized a lot for his apparent aloofness. his son bo the, the air to the throne. prince william has a much better feel as far as public relations are concerned. many people feel that the monarchy will be in much safer hands with, with prince william than perhaps with, with king charles. do you think you'd that he has been advised that will do you think that he's been advised by his, by his son here to, to deal with people in this way? have you this? no, i can tell you this. nobody can advise prince shaw about anything or anybody who joins his star ends up telling him new things, which he likes very much indeed. but after about 6 months, he doesn't listen to them anymore. and. and so it goes on and so it goes on, he thinks he knows the job, and frankly, he's 73 years old. he probably doesn't know the job better. most people try to vice him. but i think this was an inspiration for when to see him doing this just now. i think we're going to see something good coming from this. williams got to wait his turn. williams got his own act. and it's charles his moment in the sun. god knows he's been standing in that queue waiting to be king for all his life. and now finally, his moment is come. he has a pretty, hurrying few days to get through though before he can get on with the business of being the head of states. doesn't he? yes, he does. all these a sullen, sombre things, but you know, the truth, the matter is that a operation, london bridge and all that it entails was laid out 25 years ago, maybe 30 years ago. and charles was part of the decision making process back then as to what would happen when his mother died. so you could say the for part straight 5 years, he's known what was going to happen. and i think to a sense, in the sense that so tempers slightly the grief and also to, you know, he's stepping up to a very, very big job. he seen his mother declining. and she, he knows that this was going to come. and so i think you know that a, his, i will be mainly on making sure everything goes off very well over the next 10 days . that's very important. and also just establishing himself as, as the new sovereign with just an interesting point to make here the, that the flag on the top of buckingham palace rule standard flying. now, all of the flags across the country, at half staff at the moment, but the one on buckingham palace. yes. the raw standard is, is of the top of the, or the staff there are because the king is in a residence a how do you explain, christopher? the countries reaction to the death of, of queen elizabeth this outpouring of grief that we've seen this need to you see how many people are of arrived of wanted to, to be present and lay floor tributes of the gates of buckingham palace. how do you explain that? i think for many people, i think been said already that a for many people are the queen probably has been around longer than may be living . i mean, for a vast percentage of the population. the queen was their being queen before they were born. and so she is a constant ever changing world. we've seen at so many things happen in her life time, the internet age, you know, social media, et cetera, cetera. many more things was and, and the one constant thing throughout the school has been her. now. she's gone. if the rug has been pulled out from under our feet. and i, you know, it comes to talk even though we knew how old she was. we knew she was ailing with saying good bye to a part of all our lives. christopher, i know you're going to stay around with us for a while will will hopefully speak to you again in the coming out for the moment. many thanks. not spoiled biographer, christopher wilson, they're in a studio in london. ah, some 600 kilometers away at the other end of the country as al jazeera walked matheson, he is outside all moral castle. away queen elizabeth died and king charles the 3rd spent the night before leaving for london. rob the queen spent a good deal of time there in balmoral, in northeastern scotland. what did she mean to the people of that region of the country? i think that their connection with the royal family is something that the region, this particular region of scotland is incredibly proud of spots. generally, a very proud of their links with the royal family because the royal family, particularly under the green, himself, made no secret of the fact that they are incredibly fond of being at this house. all this been virtually every summer here was their opportunity to essentially be themselves. it was the chance to be discreet, to hide away. you can see by the nature of the trees that are behind me, and these are all over about 50000 acres of estates that, that there's an enormous amount of privacy here. a whole area is surrounded by mean looking and brooding mountains. vincent, in many ways, it could be a very off putting a disparity in place, but that it was not how the royal families sought. they saw it as a, as a sanctuary resort. as a refuge. they see pop the buckingham palace, for example. they reported have said that that was essentially a home office that was somewhere where they could live, but they also had to work from here was very much a family home. the people who lived and worked in and around by mall castle look very aware of that, not least because the family was able to walk around the grounds quite freely with very limited security because the place is so isolated. but it would also, they would drive through the streets of the local times. people would see them driving the cars with again very little security the queen, when she was able to would go into the local shops and bipolar jews there. that local connection, that that's marrying of the gap, if you like, between between the royal family and her subjects mattered tremendously to the people obama and as a result, they became very protective of him. but i think that, that it's safe to say a something that also was spread across scotland because the role of family really made no secret of the fact that they regarded this very much as a family home where they could be themselves and where they enjoyed the life that they've they saw as being typically scottish. i'll 0 is rob matheson reporting live from balmoral castle in northeast in scotland for the moment at rob. many thanks. and it. queen elizabeth the seconds long rain so widespread and dramatic changes across the country. she ruled over and the well she lifted, but throughout everything she remained a constant. al jazeera, me, bach reports a rain, sol, years of traumatic change, the social, cultural, and technological revolution that altered the very landscape of the nation. but the queen retained the same values, the same habits, an unchanging presence in a country, living through times of turmoil and conflict. she was just 25 when she came to the throne. exactly the same age as the 1st queen elizabeth and was only 18 at the end of the 2nd world war where she served as an ambulance driver. only 8 years later, she was being crowned on almost every level kind of politically, culturally in terms of technological innovation. in terms of society, i mean, every sort of massive change in the late 20th century. obviously, she's lived 3 things ranging from, obviously the fall off about a year at the end of apartheid africa in england, female prime minister, the 1st black president in america. so those kind of landmark also things on the development world wide web, which is obviously have a huge impact on society. the queen very much left away in technology as far as world companies are concerned in 1997. she actually was pretty behind launching the family 1st website, which monarchy and then in more recent years, we saw her get pretty behind things like facebook page for them on a key in 2010. and all the things while they were being developed aids would always say they were sent right to the top. it wasn't, they were being worked on my press secretaries, she ever saw all those development and technology. and she had said she was also all too aware of a new kind of national grid. we're in the liberal terrorism for a long time. took the off in the 2nd world war with the problems in northern ireland. she was shocked. a new wave of terrorism, islamic terrorism had hit london and define who she stood in that central office over there about the palace and observed 2 minutes silence. i say defiance as if to say, you can promise, but we are not photo. and as britain

the build up to the well the seal super cup is important for us. it's as you said, the last dusting milestone for the, for the world cup. however, more importantly, it is, the test event for the sale stadium. the stadium is our biggest stadium in terms of some spectator capacity. so therefore, it's, it's a very timely test event with 2 very big teams from the region as m arctic. and then hit al, from saudi arabia. we're expecting to sell out half a $1000000.00 with the saudi. right? yeah. when you look at, it's enough, no ticket sales a let's say you can guarantee will be sent out at least 20000. all right. the narrative lead on actually one of the well right, you want to be his final well, whether or not on what you felt wedding not well. we'll begin taking a look around the same on the play. exactly. this is the largest of the wildcat stadiums or the capacity of a seat 1000 after those found watching for right here at the top of the sounds they really make the most of the few because off of the tournaments it looks very different in here. they're going to transform the stadium into a community space, and the chairs are going to be donated to supporting projects. i'm not able to be at $1.00 to $10.00 games. we how that this stadium, they will be relying on worldwide television coverage. and here is where the commentators will set to cold match and the other members of the media will assemble to file that coffee to keep up with exactly what google these are the best seats in the house. this is where the america todd will sit and watch the action along with members of his family and see for president johnny and see, you know, nice comfortable patty jazz carpets on the 1st i was severe this is the home team addressing me. and this is why lena messes argentina

belongs while, stay out on the field. and i wanted to let you know messy will be hanging that famous number 10. and here we have sciences, the indoor area, but of australia class laid down here. as you can see, very spacious, plenty of room for stretching out. maybe if you keep up for a game of head of bullies after they put a shift in on the pit, his other player can come recover that we have the hot tub. and here we have the christ. whether water is absolutely freezing. this is the very ton of the players that will be walking down on december the 18th with the place in history at stake. and the trophy within touching distance. 8 12 years in the making 32 teams at a little down to tea. and it all comes down to one match the biggest in football. the well cut fine. a 12 year. what are some of the big challenges that is facing that time? well, and the, the, what you see around this in this country, not just in doha, but around the country is very different from what it was. 12 years ago when guitar one the, when the bid it was a logistical challenge. it was a challenge to build up infrastructure, and that is what art seems to have done so far. there are new roads there, new bridges, their entire highways, which did not exist. there is a metro system. their trains running. the capacity of the airport has been at these quadrupled from what it was 12 years ago, and it teams seemed to be moving in that direction. in those 12 years. there been numerous challenges that the countries faced because of this infrastructure. it faced a grueling blockade by neighboring countries, and then there was the pandemic. so it's load everything in this country where all materials, all human, the humanity, a human assistant, the, all of its workers are from abroad. so tracing all of that to cut there seems to have a past that challenge there now into the final few days ahead of the world cup finals such as this being the 1st stress test or the last stress test. you can college as well, making sure that everything is in place from transportation to facilities. another challenge is that the country faced was, it's treatment of it's book is. and that is something that if you compare it with a multiple strides, have been made in that regard as well. i've been speaking to people who are in charge of various organizations and government bodies will say that it is not perfect, but it is by if you compare it to what their standards are in the region, they've tried to incorporate as much as they can for the workers and their well being as, as they can. and this is going to be the 1st step in cutter, moving to words and it making it a woke up a not just a a cup, but a legacy of a cup where it will try and build on its record of improving human rights and improving work as conditions as well. i saw in javits. i'm sorry, monica now. now, design, if it stayed in the look at mistake, it was one of the organizers thought would be one of the iconic images that bands around the world. a lead designer, all to the sales side, and yes, thank you. i'm joined by luke fox from design company, fostering partners. thank you so much for joining ansley offer. thanks for having me. ok. just talk me through the starting process for designing. not just the world cup stadium, but the venue that will house the world cup final. oh, well, you know it's, it's an amazing responsibility. and what we want to do is create a immediately recognizable venue for this amazing final, which is coming up. ah, and, and we really, we really want to create a, a pure vessel, a form which actually incorporates all of the requirements of the stadium inside it . so it's a, it's a visually pure form. ah, and it's also we wanted to create something that was responding to the climate of cat are so really quite protected, letting dappled light in, letting, almost lantern like out in the evenings. and then a wonderfully light filled ball. when you enter a very unique design, where do you hope fans will know what is an experience when they want to match their way? we hope that they that they enjoy the comfort of the ball with design it ready for for all the seasons. and we just, we think we've created quite an immersive space for the players. and for the spectators we talk about, you know, creating a stadium that we can use all throughout the year. even in very difficult hot conditions. how do you come up with a design for that? well, we have to work closely with our engineers who then modeled the stadium. and then in terms of computer fluid dynamics, to make sure that we get the right course through the through the stadium and onto the page, most importantly for the players. so we really had to get that temperature right. and we'd really design it for the, the world cup which was going to be hosted in the middle of the summer. so the skin itself on the outside as i was mentioning before, is heavily protected. the roof is also just letting the bright amount of light into the ball to that the grass grow, but also to keep the people call and we allow natural ventilation of the very top. very fascinating luc fox. thank you so much for your time. no, you're welcome. thank you for having me. ah, what organize yourself it is. well, you get to maybe more than one. that is not really going to be possible for monica outside of the site. if the issues, the organizers don't want to thank you. i'm the well well momentous occasion here and cuts off for the woke up, which is right around the corner. if the test, blue sale comes with a lot of things being tested right now, probably in the background, you might be able to be a lot of work because arriving at the stadium, a lot of people who are going to be working here, trickling in. they're all under scrutiny because today, you know, the law fun happening, a big match and a huge performance by one of the top performers. i'm going to be up, but there's some serious business over here. 80000 is the magic number. that is the number of fans that is expected to be here. but the organize the re looking to make sure that they arrive at the stadium nicely through the metro they call, make sure they test out the car box and travel service, the infrastructure. i get them in through the gate using the fine id and hopefully hopefully they'll be no hiccup. quickly when you're potentially going to come back to the way to deciding whether or not make the final well, you know, i woke up and saw it's always going to be something that people have many anxieties about and many questions about the 1st time we've had woke up in this region. so what the people really want to know, we've been speaking to find advice ambassadors fund back to do if you, if you are, they really want so 2 things out on the top of their list accommodation and whether they can consumer alcohol here and cut up 1st birthday accommodation, they're organized that very, very confident they go every base covered. they've even set up a portal on top of having to sit on the shore. ah, fall or fire the hotels they even have a service where people will be to rent out their own homes. alcohol will be available as well. 2 at band zones and not directing the stadium, they can have non alcoholic beer inside the stadium. but there will be paces around the cuts out like balls fanfare, where they can have a drink to enjoy the match with ah, my outside, no style made in my mind. small build up coming up. i had to be official opening off the launch isn't a final well made it to me. i've been out on the back of the studio and i had a minute thanks to d kickoff in a little over 4 hours from now and he richardson and lucille. let's get back to were the death of britons, queen elizabeth the 2nd we've seen some extraordinary images over the past hour of king charles. the 3rd and the queen consoled camilla arriving at buckingham palace in london to begin his his reign. if she had like his duties as monarch, the new king took time at the palace gates to stop his medicaid and to greet as many people as he could who had lined the area outside the gates to the palace waiting to see him in the coming hours. he'll meet with you british prime minister las trus, and he will make an address to the nation. king charles, the 3rd also takes over. of course his head of the commonwealth of nations succeeding his mother, queen elizabeth the 2nd. she became head of the commonwealth when she took the throne in 1953. a 3rd of her overseas visits have been to commonwealth nations. it's a voluntary association of $56.00 independent countries which were previously british colonies. they work together to promote a number of common goals such as democracy, human rights, good governance of the rule of law. through the de colonization of the british empire, between 19571970 over 20 former crown colonies joined the organization as they gained their independence. there are 2 and a half 1000000000 people in the commonwealth. personally one 3rd of the world's population for murray, the author of the empire, new clothes, the myth of the commonwealth, the professor of commonwealth history of the university of london is with us, sir. now live good to have you with us, a professor and what sort of a future do you think the commonwealth has under king charles 3rd heights? it's phillip murphy. i'm it. nothing by much is going to change in the immediate term, i'm the decision was made in 2018. charles would be the next head of the commonwealth . so that that transitions happened automatically. and he's all automatically become king of 15, separate commonwealth worms. ok. so that there will be a very different character than the head of the, of the commonwealth. but the hand is, is a largely ceremonial role and they don't make policy that's, that's really made by the men states themselves combine friday, the common secretariat am. i think it were, you can see changes are in the immediate future is with the commonwealth realms in the caribbean. but actually that, that process of change already began before the queen's death with barbados, becoming a republic in november of last year. and that's likely to have a bit of a domino effect. and but as countries until it become a republic, sir, as you say that, that does that necessarily mean that they are going to move away from the commonwealth? no, i mean, it isn't. and, and there's a lot of misunderstanding about this. um when, when william and kate went out to the caribbean, early this year, i mean, summer, even the british tabloids had headlines like we know william cake try out save the commonwealth. well that's, that's simply not, not the case. the majority of commonwealth members now are republics. i'm a say any, any, any 15 of them are realms. and actually when barbados became a republican november and prince charles flew out there as the next 10. am to 10, be the republic they celebration. first time a member of harmony had done that and it was a real signal from the palace look it's, it's up to the realms themselves to decide what, what their constitution is. but what matters to the pallets, and what mattered the queen was that they should remain in, in the combo. and, and, you know, since what 2007 are many states that become republics haven't even had to be applied to join the call. it's just been regarded as automatic. many commonwealth nations, or some or other common motivations, may feel quite ambivalent towards their membership of the commonwealth as such. but there was still a great affection for personally for, for her majesty. queen elizabeth the 2nd that does not affectionate youth extend as far as king charles. the 3rd i think is going to be difficult because the, the commonwealth was her issue. that, that was her statement that, that was what made the, the british will probably differ from other european was hands. now i know that european wrote me as a kind of global global reach. and she'd nurture the, the new commonwealth, the commonwealth, where the majority essence when the developing. oh yeah. and i'm, i'm, i'm so sorry to have to, to interrupt you from where we're, we're so short of time i'm, i'm gonna have to bring our interview to it to a closed out. it's a shame i wish i could have taught you for a lot longer, but for the moment many thanks. indeed, philip murphy, they're the author of the empire's new clothes, the myth of the commonwealth professor coldwell history at the university of london . i will leave you those pictures, seller's life pictures from buckingham palace in london. that's it for this news hour. uh but i'll be back with more of the raise news for you in just a few moments. ah,
