this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines at ten o'clock. i'm victoria derbyshire. plans for 38 new laws will be announced this morning in the queen's speech, which will be delivered by prince charles. the queen will miss the state opening of parliament for the first time in nearly 60 years. i'm shaun ley live in westminster. in the speech, the government says it will promise to grow the economy, tackle the rising cost of living and give police extra powers to crack down on disruptive protests. we'll have a special programme beginning in half an hour. the rest of the headlines here on bbc news... labour says it can prove sir keir starmer didn't break covid rules when he was pictured eating and drinking with party members last year. powerful missiles target the ukrainian port city odesa — destroying a warehouse

and a shopping centre. the met office warns of a 50—50 chance that the world will cross a key global warming threshold — of average temperatures rising more than 1.5 degrees celsius over the next five years. the "wagatha christie" trial gets under way in the high court — rebekah vardy is suing coleen rooney for libel. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. prince charles will officially open the new session of parliament today and for the first time will read the queen's speech on her behalf. it's after the queen had to pull out because of mobility problems. the last time the queen missed

a state opening of parliament in a statement, buckingham palace said, "the queen continues to experience episodic mobility problems, and in consultation with her doctors has reluctantly decided that she will not attend the state opening of parliament." the queen's speech isn't written by the queen but by the government. it's a list of the new laws the government wants to introduce in the next year or so. it's expected to include 38 bills such as a public order bill aimed at cracking down on disruptive protests. it could bring in a 12 month jail term for protestors interfering with things like airports and railways. there will be a bill on levelling up, including measures like forcing landlords to let out empty shops. and an online safety bill which could bring in fines for tech companies who don't take down harmful content quickly enough. there could also be a brexit freedoms bill to give the government new powers

to scrap eu laws still in force here. possibly a bill to give british ports the power to punish ferry companies who don't pay the minimum wage(ani)but there's ferry companies who don't pay the minimum wage. but there's unlikely to include any mention of a one—off windfall tax on the big energy companies — something opposition parties have called for. shaun ley is at westminster. good morning again, thank you very much. for the last seven decades of the state opening of parliament — the start term for politics, if you like — it's been called the queen's speech. it has been delivered by the queen. today it will be delivered, for the first time in this long reign, by another royal — charles. he is the heir to the throne but symbolically that throne will be empty. instead prince charles will read the speech in front of where the queen usually sits. he will be flanking the throne with his son, the duke of cambridge, on

the other side. that's the ceremonial. what's the politics? the red meat, and sebastian payne was calling it on bbc news in the last hour. —— as sebastian payne. it's through the queen's speech that the government announces its priorities for the parliamentarty year ahead. so what can we expect? our political correspondent nick eardley has this report. fanfare this is what the queen's speech normally looks like. today, with prince charles delivering the government's programme, it will look different, but the political themes will sound familiar. the opening of the speech is expected to focus on growing the economy, easing the burden on households and levelling up the country. after a bruising result in last week's elections, borisjohnson wants to get his political programme back on track. he's pledging the government will get on with the job and there will be 38 bills in total in today's speech. but the prime minister will also warn the government can't

just spend its way out of current problems. instead, he'll say the answer is to grow the economy — with higher wages and higher skilled jobs across the uk. today's programme will also include plans to appeal to boris johnson's supporters. seven new laws, he says, will deliver the benefits of brexit and legislation to crack down on disruptive protests after previous attempts to strengthen police powers were rejected by the house of lords. labour's leader has had a lot on his plate this week. he's denied claims he broke covid rules last year with a curry and beer with colleagues. but he's said if police fine him, he'll resign. today he wants to focus on the economy instead. he'll argue the government doesn't have the ideas to deal with the issues the country is facing. the queen's speech is a big moment in the parliamentary year, full of pomp and ceremony. and today we'll find out what laws the government wants to introduce

and what they say about the political priorities. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent, adam fleming is with me. it always feels a bit like they used to say for brides, something old, something new, something borrowed, something new, something borrowed, something blue, it is quite a mixed collection. i something blue, it is quite a mixed collection. ~ , ~ �* collection. i think it is like a christmas — collection. i think it is like a christmas carol, _ collection. i think it is like a christmas carol, news - collection. i think it is like a i christmas carol, news stories collection. i think it is like a - christmas carol, news stories past, present and future! we can speculate about some of the routes which are to come. the government wants to save they are doing stuff to tackle because of living, that will be prince charles's opening words in the speech, but when you look at this beach i suspect there will be no direct help to help people with their own bills —— when you look

focused on a couple of areas, first of all, this new phenomenon of locking on, people glueing themselves effectively to bits of equipment, some of it very dangerous. we have seen, for example, people super—gluing themselves to fuel gantries which is an incredibly dangerous thing to do and _ obviously the police have to remove them thereby putting themselves in danger as well. that will become an offence. we do think that interfering with key national infrastructure is also something that we need to address. so a new offence will be brought in around that too and then obstructing major transport works too. it isa it is a revival of something the government could not get through in the last session of parliament, it was blocked by the house of lords. after the queen's speech, i know we are previewing it and has not happened, you get six days of debate and labour get to decide the subject each day, you can bet your bottom dollar they will be going on the cost—of—living, but is the massive thing missing, if they were doing

the queen's speech they say a windfall tax on the oil and gas companies would be front and centre. a windfall tax on oil and gas producers would provide immediate support to families and to pensioners who are seeing everything becoming more expensive. and your viewers will know how desperate that is, really, the bills have arrived, the costs are increasing, the cost of petrol. also the cost of childcare which is why we set out the support that we would put in place for parents because too many parents are often forced to give up work, particularly women, because they can't make childcare stacked up. and they are spending more on childcare than they are earning in that period. so there are lots of measures the government should be taking right now. but we'll see nothing on that. and we know that people are struggling. people watching this morning will know how tough it is when you go and do the weekly shop and discover that you can't afford as much as you had before. ijust find it unbelievable that we still have no proper action from the government around it when labour's got a clear plan on it.

so there will not be a windfall tax bill among 38 bills but there will be seven related to brexit, a bit of acknowledgement from the government they got sidetracked by covid in the nation to seize the opportunities, as they would ch, from leaving the eu. that will be things like how you change inherited eu law and technical stuff about getting ready things they inherited from the eu, and i think that is a sign that in the build—up to the general election, the next two years, the drum of brexit will still be beaten quite a lot by this government. the fact that boris johnson will talk about two years to do all of this is about two years to do all of this is a hint he will not go for an early general election. it a hint he will not go for an early general election.— a hint he will not go for an early general election. if the choices in his hands, _ general election. if the choices in his hands, his _ general election. if the choices in his hands, his future _ general election. if the choices in his hands, his future is _ general election. if the choices in his hands, his future is still - general election. if the choices in his hands, his future is still open | his hands, his future is still open the air, we are still waiting for sue gray's reports, whether the metropolitan police impose any more fines. leaving that aside, as you mention the policing bill, another go at trying to get this through, another attempted at the online

safety bill through and another attempt for planning reform. why is the government having so difficulties —— such difficulties achieving the things that campaigned for at the general election? the oane for at the general election? the online safety — for at the general election? the online safety bill— for at the general election? tue online safety bill was for at the general election? tte online safety bill was published for at the general election? ttj: online safety bill was published in draft last year, went to epic process of scrutiny in advance of going to parliament. some changes made —— went through a process of scrutiny. it will get through because of the government majority but there will be difficulties because of concerns about freedom of speech and how much power will be given to culture secretary nadine dorries to decide what is harmful material online. that is another example of the government grappling with a modern problem that everyone has experience of budget will be fascinating to see how the bill get through parliament and what is added to it as the world evolves very quickly. the government wanted to just build loads more homes, particularly in the south of england, it turns out lots of tory

mps in the south of england were not happy so that big planning bill has been chipped away at, reformed, watered down and now incorporated into the levelling up bill. there will be a lot of levelling up, the flagship scheme about closing regional inequalities, only a little about homes. the regional inequalities, only a little about homes.— about homes. the observation is nothina about homes. the observation is nothing about — about homes. the observation is nothing about online _ about homes. the observation is nothing about online safety - about homes. the observation isj nothing about online safety belts about homes. the observation is i nothing about online safety belts or new powers of the government and the police to look atjournalists, it is because the royal party will be arriving in the not too distant future at westminster. we have a special programme beginning at 10:30am. let's cross to a slightly more serene location, windsor, from where daniela relphjoins us. this will be a big day symbolically if nothing else?— will be a big day symbolically if nothin: else? ~ , ,, nothing else? absolutely. the queen will be here in _ nothing else? absolutely. the queen will be here in windsor— nothing else? absolutely. the queen will be here in windsor today, - nothing else? absolutely. the queen will be here in windsor today, her - will be here in windsor today, her apartments inside windsor castle, while her son and grandson step into her shoes at the state opening of

parliament. it will have been an incredibly difficult decision for her and her advisers to withdraw from today's ceremony, it is a key date in her calendar, one of her most important constitutional duties and in her 70 years on the throne she has only missed the state opening of parliament twice, that was due to pregnancy. this tells you how important it is to her to attend the ceremony but it was decided late on that the physical challenge of the state opening of parliament, walking through the chamber, taking steps to the throne where she would normally deliver the queen's speech, that would be too much for her. she has what buckingham palace have described as episodic mobility problems, it is a slightly odd phrase which means she has good and bad days, she has these mobility issues and some of them willjust be too much, a really significant

moment constitutionally and personally for the queen. what personally for the queen. what should we _ personally for the queen. what should we read _ personally for the queen. what should we read into _ personally for the queen. what should we read into the - personally for the queen. what should we read into the decision that the prince of wales will deliver this speech not from the throne but to the throne? what are they trying to say? —— but not to they trying to say? —— but not to the throne. they trying to say? -- but not to the throne-— they trying to say? -- but not to the throne. , , ., ., _ the throne. this is not a regency, he is not the _ the throne. this is not a regency, he is not the monarch, _ the throne. this is not a regency, he is not the monarch, that - the throne. this is not a regency, he is not the monarch, that is - the throne. this is not a regency, he is not the monarch, that is his| he is not the monarch, that is his mother and she is continuing with her duties to the best of her ability. he will not sit in that throne and deliver the queen's speech from where his mother would deliver the throne. he will not be wearing any ceremonial robes, it has been decided he will wear a naval uniform, the admiral of the fleet uniform. the imperial state crown which over the last 70 years has been worn by the queen recently

carried alongside her because it is so heavy, that will be in the chamber with the prince of wales, it will travel with him from buckingham palace to the houses of parliament because that is an important symbol of the sovereignty of monarchy. all of the sovereignty of monarchy. all of the sovereignty of monarchy. all of the mood music is to say he is fit again, he is not the monarchy, his mother is still in charge. daniela relph —— daniela relph at windsor, thank you. stay with us on the bbc news channel to follow the full ceremony, at 10:30am we will join huw edwards and his team at bbc one forfull coverage and join huw edwards and his team at bbc one for full coverage and we will be back after that you analyse the detail of what is in the queen's speech. let's speak more about the ceremonial, that is the reason for the security arrangements and the reason why this whole process is conducted in this way rather than a press notice issued from 10 downing street. this is london this morning, rather grey and drought, one usually

illuminated with the spectacle and the colour. in the past it was a carriage in the days of charles ii, it was even a royal barge heading down the thames. now it will probably be a car bringing prince charles not a very long distance from central london to deliver the queen's speech. emily nash is royal editor of hello magazine. goodness me, how much of your magazine has been filled with coverage of the royals. this magazine has been filled with coverage of the royals. this is a hue coverage of the royals. this is a huge moment — coverage of the royals. this is a huge moment for _ coverage of the royals. this is a huge moment for prince - coverage of the royals. this is a huge moment for prince charlesj coverage of the royals. this is a - huge moment for prince charles and the duke of cambridge because they had been delegated by the queen to carry out her most important ceremonialfunction and carry out her most important ceremonial function and it needs to be seen as her paving the way for what we will see in future, today the symbolism of that empty throne will give some pause for thought. tt will give some pause for thought. it is almost like a time of three monarchs, the queen is still the head of state constitutionally,

whatever the significance of that is the symbol that she is and has been this last 70 years as a constancy in peoples lives. you have the expected to the throne, he has been waiting to the throne, he has been waiting to become king forgets, then his son, unless britain were to become a republic, at one point he will have to deliver a speech i close. he will be watching _ to deliver a speech i close. he will be watching with _ to deliver a speech i close. he will be watching with keen _ to deliver a speech i close. he will be watching with keen interest - to deliver a speech i close. he will be watching with keen interest to l be watching with keen interest to see how things proceed. it is really quite a moment for the queen to have taken this moment, it is a reflection on her less stoic physical ability, she is not as mobile as she was put she is very much in charge and she will be represented by the imperial crown, she is in control but they are there to represent her. tt is she is in control but they are there to represent her.—

could become frankly terrible. politicians are already discussing the possible consequences, a price crisis, and famine in africa and asia. this is a direct consequence of russian aggression. our correspondentjoe inwood is in the city of lviv and has more on that speech. last night, in his address, president zelensky talked about the consequences that this war in ukraine could be having elsewhere in the world. now, why is that? simple answer, food. ukraine is a producer of wheat and other grains for export, but they can't get them out at the moment because the black sea is being blockaded by russian ships. odesa, in particular. that is the route that these grains come out from, and they are all stuck in silos. it was something that the leader of the european council charles michel saw for himself yesterday, these huge silos full of goods ready for export but not able to get anywhere. and already i think we are seeing the ramifications of this around the world, whether it is in sri lanka today

or the elections in the philippines, rising costs for food are something that are having reverberations. he was there partly to look at this, but also to discuss the attempt to join the eu that ukraine is currently undergoing. just yesterday, president zelensky submitted eight massive books of paperwork answering questions about his countryjoining the european union. but the response he got from president emmanuel macron of france maybe wasn't entirely the one he was hoping for. he said president macron in one of his first big foreign engagements since being re—elected that it would take years, maybe even decades, for ukraine tojoin. he did however suggest that there was an alternative, maybe some sort of associate organisation that countries ukraine could join before they meet the full requirements and get the full benefits of european union membership. the met office says that there's now around a fifty—fifty chance that the world will warm by more than 1.5 degrees over the next five years —

crossing a key global warming threshold. researchers also believe it's almost certain that the next four years will see the warmest year ever recorded. our environmment correspondent matt mcgrath explained why. it is likely to become a possibility because of the build—up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 20 years. in 2015, it was the first time the warming in the world reached over1 degrees from the preindustrial, back in the 1850s, it stayed about1 degrees since, and we have seen a lot more increases in fires and storms as a result of that. now the met office believes in the calculation that over the next five years including this year, it will go over the 1.5 mark which is politically and scientifically seen as a very important threshold of danger. can it be stopped? it is a very good question. the natural warming in the atmosphere, the variability, it is likely that if this happens it cannot be stopped in

the next number of years, but it does not mean the target of the threshold has gone, it means it will go over temporarily and if governments are getting their act together on reducing emissions as quickly as they can, it may not go over it permanently. the worry at the moment is it may go over temporarily in the next couple of years but in ten years it could be over 1.5 for a long time and that would be of considerable concern, putting the planet in danger. more than two—and—a—half years after the original tweet which started it all, the "wagatha christie" trial starts today at the high court in london. rebekah vardy is suing coleen rooney for libel after her former friend accused her of leaking information from her private instagram stories to the press. earlier our entertainment correspondent colin paterson spoke to me from outside the court and began by explaining what we can expect to see from the first day of the trial. what will happen today is we will find out which witnesses are being

called throughout the seven day trial. we think it is likely wayne rooney, the husband of coleen rooney, the husband of coleen rooney, will be called to give evidence and grilled on how much he knew about her online detective work. the speculation here today as it will be today when rebekah vardy undergoes cross—examination and tomorrow when coleen rooney has to take the stand. this tomorrow when coleen rooney has to take the stand-— take the stand. as you said in your re ort take the stand. as you said in your report there _ take the stand. as you said in your report there is _ take the stand. as you said in your report there is a _ take the stand. as you said in your report there is a lot _ take the stand. as you said in your report there is a lot of— take the stand. as you said in your report there is a lot of money - take the stand. as you said in your report there is a lot of money at i report there is a lot of money at stake, obscene amounts when you think about it, really? tt is think about it, really? it is absolutely _ think about it, really? it is absolutely ridiculous, - think about it, really? tit 3 absolutely ridiculous, what has been made clear by the judges throughout the pre—trial hearings is it makes no financial sense for this case to have come to the high court. the legal bills for both of them are more than £1 million already. when someone wins a case like this the other side has to cover their costs but in reality they will only ever get about 70% of the costs back, so

if rebekah vardy when she would get £700,000 or so back, leaving her £300,000 out of pocket —— if rebekah vardy wins. any damages will only be £40,000 maximum. this is not about money, this is about reputation and two people refusing to back down, believing they are right, and it will be fascinating to see which is proven correct.— proven correct. coverage of government _ proven correct. coverage of government plans - proven correct. coverage of government plans that - proven correct. coverage of government plans that will| proven correct. coverage of- government plans that will really affect your lives is on the way, here is shaun ley at westminster. thank you, victoria, it is a queen's speech without the queen but not without ceremonial. it has already begun behind us, we have had a splendid piece of music played out which is in preparation for the arrival of the prince of wales performing those duties on behalf of his mother, who is not here today. with me are adam fleming and emily

nash, thank you for staying around. this is a reminder of what we are usually used to seeing. in some ways it is a relief, we had a very much paired down ceremony last with the queen no longer in state ropes, the crown carried very few people in the chamber because of covid. there is an absence of the queen attempt to put on a show?— put on a show? normal service is resumed. — put on a show? normal service is resumed. with — put on a show? normal service is resumed, with or— put on a show? normal service is resumed, with or without - put on a show? normal service is resumed, with or without her- resumed, with or without her majesty. i am sure she will be tuning into watch proceedings but we have a military band, beefeaters, there will be lots of the glamour, if you like, of the state opening day. if you like, of the state opening da . ~ , ., j day. we will see more na few minutes. _ day. we will see more na few minutes, adam, _ day. we will see more na few minutes, adam, when - day. we will see more na few minutes, adam, when we - day. we will see more na few minutes, adam, when we join day. we will see more na few- minutes, adam, when we join huw minutes, adam, when wejoin huw edwards on bbc one for coverage of the ceremonial and also the speech itself. what kind of message does he government hope to convey with this attempt to kick—start its political

majority does not necessarily guarantee getting your way? especially not with an increasingly disloyal conservative party, lots of controversial things coming up. the levelling up bill used to be a planning bill about getting loads more homes built in the south of england, that had to be paired but because lots of conservative mps were not happy. the online safety bill, there will be a big battle about what powers the government has to decide what is harmful material online. . ~ to decide what is harmful material online. ., ~' ,, to decide what is harmful material online. ., ~ ., to decide what is harmful material online. ., j ., g , , ., online. thank you, adam. just before we say goodbye _ online. thank you, adam. just before we say goodbye to — online. thank you, adam. just before we say goodbye to our _ online. thank you, adam. just before we say goodbye to our viewers - online. thank you, adam. just before we say goodbye to our viewers on - online. thank you, adam. just before l we say goodbye to our viewers on bbc two, emily, what will be the most significant thing about today because of prince charles' presents? it is a glimpse into the future, i think. _ it is a glimpse into the future, i think, preparing us for what is to come _ think, preparing us for what is to come i— think, preparing us for what is to come. i think the empty throne will really— come. i think the empty throne will really give — come. i think the empty throne will really give people a moment of thought — really give people a moment of thought. it really give people a moment of thou:ht. , ., ., ., . thought. it is a moment to reflect about what _ thought. it is a moment to reflect about what this _ thought. it is a moment to reflect about what this may _ thought. it is a moment to reflect about what this may mean - thought. it is a moment to reflect about what this may mean for - about what this may mean for everybody in the country and for those other places around the world

not from the throne but to the throne. that is it from us as we join here every —— huw edwards full coverage of the state opening of parliament. i will be back for more interest over one hour. it is 10:30am at one spinster, the start of a new parliamentary session, it is the government's chance to set out its priorities ahead at a time of great uncertainty at home and abroad —— at westminster. this year's state opening of parliament will be rather different, her majesty the queen will not be attending and the single thrown in the house of lords is therefore the prince of wales who will read the speech on the queen's

behalf as she is unable to attend because of what the palace
