One week on from Queen Elizabeth's death, thousands of people continue to line the streets of Britain.
Since the news of her passing, Brits have gathered outside Buckingham Palace and now at Westminster Hall where she lies in state ahead of her funeral on Monday.
A line of mourners spansmore than four kilometres as people patiently wait hours to see the Queen's coffin and say their goodbyes.

Te Pāti Māori and the Green Party said this week that conversations are already underway, and have reiterated calls for constitutional transformation with Te Tiriti o Waitangi at the centre.

Also on the podcast, it's masks off with the government announcing the end of the Covid traffic light framework earlier this week.
Employment Law Specialist Max Whitehead clarifies what rights employers and employees have in enforcing their own mask mandates and Covid modellers predict what could happen next.
