Uk and around the world on bbc world news. Welcome back. Yes, it is welcome back, just two months since welcome back, just two months since we last gathered in this very room inside the palace of westminster for the state opening of parliament. Back on the 14th october Boris Johnsons government with no parliamentary majority put forward, lets say, a rather thin programme. Today, the queen will present a legislative programme from the conservative government with a big majority in the house of commons following last weekss election. We are politically in a different world. A world in which the parliament, the government and the monarch have been in sharp focus, a course of some tension as well.
