People in Britain and across the world are taking time to mourn the death -- and celebrate the life -- of Queen Elizabeth II. As they come to terms with the loss of their longest-serving monarch, they are welcoming her son to the throne.
King Charles III returned to London from Scotland, where the queen spent her final days. He and Queen Consort Camilla took time to greet the crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace and to take in the outpouring of affection for his mother.
The King then gave his first address to the nation.
He said, "As the Queen herself did with unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the Constitutional principles at the heart of the nation."
He promised to serve the people "no matter their background or belief" with loyalty, respect and love. And he named his son William and daughter-in-law Kate as Prince and Princess of Wales.
He then held his first audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss. He told her how touched he was that so many people had come to lay flowers at the palace gates.
People throughout the United Kingdom will spend the next 10 days in official mourning. The Queen will be buried on the grounds of Windsor Castle following a state funeral at Westminster Abbey.

Japan's Emperor Naruhito is expected to attend the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth ll.
Sources close to the matter say the government and the Imperial Household Agency are making arrangements for the Emperor's condolence visit. They say the attendance of Empress Masako will also be considered depending on her health condition.
If the Emperor attends, it will be his first overseas trip since ascending the throne.
Britain was previously set to be the Emperor's first foreign destination, but this plan was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Japanese Imperial family has long had close relations with the British Royal family.
Emperor Emeritus Akihito attended the Queen's coronation ceremony in 1953, on behalf of Emperor Showa.
In the 1980s, Emperor Naruhito studied at Britain's Oxford University and had opportunities to meet with the Queen.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Emperor expressed his deep gratitude for the Queen's kindness toward him on various occasions during his days at Oxford and visits to the country.
The Imperial Household Agency says the Emperor, the Empress, the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Emerita entered a mourning period of three days on Friday.
Key words : antonio concerns new law

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has voiced concerns over North Korea's adoption of a new law outlining conditions under which it would launch a nuclear strike.
Pyongyang made the decision at its legislature on Thursday. Leader Kim Jong Un declared in a speech that the country's status as a nuclear weapons state has become "irreversible."
Stephane Dujarric, a spokesperson for the UN chief, told reporters on Friday how Guterres had reacted to North Korea's new law on the "Policy of Nuclear Force."
He said Guterres believes increasing the role and significance of nuclear weapons in security doctrines is contrary to decades of efforts by the international community to reduce and eliminate nuclear risks.
Dujarric noted that by pursuing a nuclear weapons program, including development of missiles using ballistic missile technology, the North is disregarding resolutions by the Security Council to cease such activities.
He added that Guterres reiterates his call for the North to resume dialogue with key parties to achieve the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Key words : largest nuclear plant
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20220910_N02/
Inspectors at Europe's largest nuclear plant are warning of a potential catastrophe. They say that power shutdowns and military attacks at the Zaporizhzhia complex in Ukraine are creating an "unsustainable" set of circumstances.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi posted a video about the situation on Friday.
He said, "A nuclear power plant can never be a pawn of war. Its fate must not be decided by military means. The consequence of such action are far too grave."
Grossi urged an immediate end to all shelling in the entire area. He repeated his call for establishing a nuclear safety zone.
On Monday, the plant was cut off from the power grid. Technicians have been relying on a single active reactor to keep the safety systems running. However, they are considering a plan to shut the reactor down and to have the plant run on diesel generators.
As the operators struggle to keep control of the complex, Russian troops are losing control on the battlefield.
Ukrainian officials say their forces have made significant advances in the eastern region of Kharkiv, which fell to the Russians in the early days of the invasion.
Ukraine's allies, including those in the US, say the fighting is at a "pivotal moment."
Even regional officials installed by the Russian government are admitting some setbacks, including Vitaly Ganchev, the Russia-appointed head of Kharkiv's government.
Ganchev said, "It would probably be irresponsible to say that they have not achieved any success at all. The very fact that they broke through our defensive line is a significant victory for them."
However, Russian defense officials say they are sending reinforcements. They released a video showing new troops moving into the area.
Key words : bodies of three handed over by russia

The bodies of three people believed to have been aboard a tour boat that sank off Hokkaido earlier this year have arrived in Japan, after being handed over by Russia.
A Japan Coast Guard patrol boat carrying the bodies arrived at the port of Otaru, in Japan's northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido, at 8 a.m. on Saturday. The bodies were transferred to separate vehicles and then left the port.
The Coast Guard received the bodies on Friday at a port on Sakhalin island, in Russia's Far East.
The tour boat "Kazu I" was carrying 26 people when it sank off the Shiretoko Peninsula in April. Fifteen people have been confirmed dead. Eleven remain unaccounted for.
Sources say DNA testing by Russian authorities matched three of the passengers from the sunken ship.
Japanese officials plan further tests to confirm the identities of the deceased.
Two of the bodies were found on Kunashiri Island, while the other was recovered on the southern coast of Sakhalin.
Kunashiri is one of four Russian-held islands claimed by Japan.

Japanese customs officers intercepted about 12,000 counterfeit products headed into the country in the first half of this year. The number fell 14.3 percent from the same period last year.
The Finance Ministry says imports of fake brand goods were halted in 12,519 cases between January and June.
Of them, 9,131 cases, or 72.9 percent, were from China, down over 22 percent year on year.
The ministry believes coronavirus lockdowns in Shanghai may be a factor behind the decline, as toughened restrictions disrupted shipments to Japan.
By category, fake brand bags accounted for 27.6 percent. Clothing followed at 22.4 percent, and shoes at 13.7 percent.
Starting on October 1, imports of fake brand goods for personal use will also be subject to Japanese customs controls.

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20220910_11/
Japanese weather officials say Typhoon Muifa may approach Okinawa Prefecture in southern Japan from Sunday through the middle of next week. It could pound the Sakishima Islands with strong winds and rough seas.
The Meteorological Agency is calling on people to make early preparations for the typhoon, saying its impact may drag on.
The agency said Muifa was moving northwest over waters south of Okinawa at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour at noon on Saturday.
It said Muifa has a central atmospheric pressure of 975 hectopascals, with maximum winds of about 126 kilometers per hour and gusts of 180 kilometers per hour.
The agency said the typhoon is expected to keep developing while moving northward and approach the Okinawa region from Sunday through Wednesday.
Fierce winds are expected to start lashing the Sakishima Islands on Sunday. In the area around Yaeyama Islands, maximum winds could reach 108 to 144 kilometers per hour with gusts of 144 to 216 kilometers per hour. Such winds are strong enough to topple utility poles.
The seas around the Sakishima Islands are expected to become rough on Sunday. Waters around Yaeyama Islands may become extremely rough on Monday, with waves rising higher than nine meters.
The agency believes the speed of Muifa may start to slow down on Monday.
