King Charles speaks in Canada's parliament

Queen Elizabeth II was the last British monarch to read the Throne Speech in 1977

King Charles has delivered the Throne Speech to open the 45th session of Canada’s parliament. We speak to people in Canada about their relationship and history with the UK.

We speak to eyewitnesses in Liverpool after almost 50 people were injured, including four children, when a car ploughed into a crowd during Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade.

A controversial new aid distribution site in Gaza backed by the US and Israel has been briefly over-run, according to reports. Hamas sources say people stormed the site because they were desperate for food. We speak to our newsroom reporter.

And we have a conversation on what it takes to climb Mount Everest, after a record breaking climb by a Sherpa.
