yesterday was pre-recorded. today will be live to the nation. we don t have any sense necessarily how long it exactly will be. but again, all televised, all on camera for the nation to see. after, that comes the official proclamation of king charles. he will not be present for that. and then following, that we will hear a fanfare. we will hear trumpeter, is gun salutes. and that s also when the flags across the nation will be risen again to full staff for the next day. chris? all right, let s listen in live now. again, the beginning of the meeting of the accession council. begi now call on the clock of e council to read aloud the text of the proclamation. whereas it is pleased almighty god. it s a call to his mercy, our latest sovereign lady, queen elizabeth the second of blessed and glorious memory, by who s deceased, the crown of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland is solely and rightfully come to the prince charles philip alpha george. we therefore
Hundreds of thousands of palestinians living in the sand against the egyptian border. Or next to the sea. I dont know where to stay, ahmed says. People are fleeing from rafah and i have my children with me. Gazans have been on the move since yesterday morning, heeding israels latest warnings, not knowing if the coming days will bring relief or despair. Translation after what weve witnessed, theyve said multiple times that there will be a ceasefire. But were frustrated and we have no hope. Theres no big hope. Only a small one. For aid agencies already struggling to cope, the prospect of a full scale israeli Operation In Rafah is alarming. As the operation will progress, we will lose progressively more areas to the fighting. And im afraid that this will also affect our warehouses, health facilities, hospitals. And there are very, very few sites where we have the ability to give medical support. For the families of israeli hostages, these are also moments of acute anxiety. John and rachel
Conservative mps most likely to defect to labour labour, Natalie Elphicke wouldnt have been anywhere near it. Most would have placed on the right of the Conservative Party, but as of midday today she is in the labour party. That came as shocked conservative mps and labour mps as well. Sir keir starmer is absolutely jubilant nevertheless. Lets hear a bit from him now. Im delighted to welcome Natalie Elphicke to the labour party. Shes got a strong track record on issues such as housing, she is on the front line when it comes to the crisis of small boats, and the reason that she is given forjoining the labour party is very, very important, because i think she speaks for very many tory voters in saying that the tory party has changed, its left the centre ground, but equally the labour party has changed. We are very clearly the party of the national interest, country first, party second, and i look forward to working with her on the mission to deliver the real change that this country despe

Just as his mps began taking their seats behind him, one of them the conservative Natalie Elphicke crossed the floor to sit directly behind the Labour Leader. Timed for maximum political effect, and less than two weeks after the defection of dan poulter, how the Labour Leader enjoyed it. If one week, a tory mp whos also a doctor says the Prime Minister cant be trusted with the nhs and joins labour and the next week, the tory mp for dover, on the front line of the small boats crisis, says the Prime Minister cannot be trusted with our borders and joins labour what is the point of this failed government staggering on . In her statement, the dover mp said the conservatives under rishi sunak had become a by word for incompetence and division. In 2019, the conservatives took on a manifesto that was very much Centre Ground. But under rishi sunak, theyave abandoned the Centre Ground and broken many election promises. Meanwhile, under keir starmer, labour have changed, and i think that change i
