00:00 King Charles, Queen Camilla make passionate request

00:02 to nation in speech.

00:04 Royal couple's request in speech comes after the bombing

00:06 and attacks between Hamas and Israel.

00:09 King Charles and Queen Camilla recently addressed

00:11 the nation in a speech and made a request.

00:13 The King emphasized with his wife, Queen Camilla,

00:15 beside him for tolerance and understanding.

00:17 Even in the most fractious of times,

00:19 in a speech valuing British values,

00:21 he persisted that the temptation to turn ourselves

00:24 into a shouting or recriminatory society must be resisted

00:27 as advised the nation on both sides of the debate

00:30 to be passionate, but not pugnacious.

00:32 The speech comes after the increased Middle East issues

00:35 following the attack on Israel by Hamas militants,

00:38 which sparked several retaliation strikes.

00:40 In his first visit to the city of London

00:42 since his coronation,

00:43 the monarch will address a mansion house dinner,

00:46 emphasizing the need for respect and understanding

00:48 in the light of the recent spike in anti-Semitic incidents

00:51 brought on by the ongoing tensions

00:53 between Israel and Palestine.

00:55 At approximately 8 o'clock p.m. Wednesday,

00:57 Charles and Camilla arrived at mansion house

00:59 for the customary supper,

01:01 an event honoring the efforts of the city of London's

01:03 civic organizations and livery companies,

01:05 the district's historical and modern trade guilds.

01:08 King Charles says mutual understanding

01:10 between religions vital in times of turmoil.

01:12 The King has said there is a vital need

01:14 for mutual understanding among religions

01:16 in times of international turmoil

01:18 and heartbreaking loss of life

01:20 as the violent conflict in Israel continues.

01:23 Charles' comments on religious tolerance

01:25 came in a state of the nation address

01:26 where he praised everything

01:27 from the positive contribution of immigrants

01:29 to national values like the British sense of humor.

01:32 His landmark speech to the city of London

01:34 examined the country he has served as head of state

01:36 for more than a year,

01:37 highlighting what it is that makes this nation of ours

01:40 so special.

01:41 The King praised the public service

01:42 that underpins institutions supporting the nation

01:45 in areas like health, security,

01:47 and national defense to learning and industry,

01:49 taking many far beyond the call of duty.

01:51 One of my first acts as sovereign

01:53 a little over a year ago

01:55 was to open the doors of Buckingham Palace

01:57 to the leaders of the major faiths

01:58 represented across these islands

02:00 to welcome them with respect and indeed love

02:03 and to rededicate my life

02:04 to protecting the space for faith itself within our shores.

02:07 The King and he spoke about deep wells

02:10 filled with attributes and values

02:11 from civility and tolerance to politeness and respect,

02:14 laughter and care for others,

02:16 which society could draw on.

02:17 But he raised questions

02:18 from whether evidence of climate change

02:20 was enough to convince society

02:22 to make the sacrifices needed to save for the earth

02:24 to the digital sphere

02:25 where debate too often descends into rancor and acrimony.

02:29 The King described the nation as living in a water's age

02:32 and asked whether developments like artificial intelligence

02:35 would bring material plenty and leisure

02:37 or consume jobs and other opportunities

02:39 before capturing and then surpassing

02:41 our very minds themselves.

02:42 In a lighter moment,

02:43 the King poked fun at himself,

02:45 commenting on when he had trouble

02:46 with frustratingly failing fountain pens

02:49 in the days following his accession.

02:50 Speaking at Mansion House,

02:52 where he attended a dinner with the Queen

02:53 to recognize the work of City of London

02:55 civic institutions and livery companies,

02:58 the King commented on the politeness and respect

03:00 we should show each other.

03:01 He added, "This includes the practice

03:03 "of our religious faiths

03:05 "and freedom and mutual understanding.

03:07 "One of my first acts as sovereign

03:09 "a little over a year ago

03:10 "was to open the doors of Buckingham Palace

03:12 "to the leaders of the major faiths

03:14 "represented across these islands

03:15 "to welcome them with respect and indeed love,

03:18 "and to rededicate my life to protecting the space

03:20 "for faith itself within our shores.

03:22 "Such understanding, both at home and overseas,

03:25 "is never more vital than at times

03:27 "of international turmoil

03:28 "and heartbreaking loss of life."

03:29 His comments came as the war of words continued over

03:32 who was responsible for the explosion

03:34 at the Al-Ali Hospital in Gaza on Tuesday night.

03:37 Hamas has blamed the strike on Israel,

03:39 with Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry

03:41 saying at least 500 people were killed.

03:43 But the Israeli military blamed a misfiring rocket

03:46 from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group

03:48 and released imagery and communications intercepts

03:51 aimed at supporting their case.

03:52 In his speech, Lord Mayor of London Nicholas Lyons

03:55 also spoke about the violence in Israel,

03:57 telling guests at the White Tea event,

03:59 "Before I begin, I want to reflect briefly

04:02 "on the suffering of innocent civilians,

04:04 "particularly children,

04:05 "caught up in the horrific events

04:06 "unfolding in the Middle East.

04:08 "My thoughts, and I'm sure those of all of us here,

04:10 "with them."

04:11 Charles' wide-ranging address

04:13 covered the topic of climate change,

04:14 which, when the Prince of Wales,

04:16 he raised through many years of campaigning on the issue.

04:18 The King said, "After decades of debate,

04:21 "our television screens,

04:22 "or increasingly, mobile phone screens,

04:24 "confront us each day

04:25 "with the stark realities of climate change,

04:28 "but our devastating scenes of communities

04:29 "scurried by fire and flood,

04:31 "not to mention the migration of people

04:33 "fleeing those terrifying phenomena,

04:35 "enough to persuade us to take the action that is needed,

04:37 "to make the sacrifices needed to secure our planet

04:40 "for generations yet unborn."
