of the royal family at the annual trooping the colour parade to mark the king's official birthday. it's the first royal engagement she has carried out this year. the king, who is also receiving cancer treatment travelled with the queen in a carriage, instead of riding on horseback as he has done in the past. charlotte gallagher reports. a much anticipated moment. the princess of wales back in the public eye. all eyes on herfor herfirst appearance since she announced her cancer diagnosis. she was a huge draw for the crowds in central london today. this is a day full of tradition and spectacle but it is also about family. the king and queen in their carriage. it is his first trooping the colour since his own cancer diagnosis and he chose not to travel on horseback. the troops taken part in this annual celebration of the king's official birthday have been rehearsing for months. every step, drumbeat and musical note has to be perfect. the irish guard led to the event this year and their colour or regimental flag was on full display. their royal colonel the princess of wales looked on with their children as the king took the salute from the parade ground next to his son and heir to the throne prince william, himself the throne prince william, himself the royal colonel of the welsh guards. the princess of wales early announced she was attending the parade yesterday and it is a welcome sign about her recovery and her recuperation. but this is not a return to full public duties. although the weather was not ideal, the pageantry of trooping the colour was the same with the king braving the elements outside buckingham palace. and as if on cue, the torrential rain stopped just in time for the traditional end to the day, a balcony appearance and fly past. the king and princess of wales stood next to each other as they took in the red arrows display. a family united after what has been an are incredibly difficult in six months. the israeli army says eight of its soldiers have been killed in a blast during what it called �*operational activity�* in the city of rafah in southern gaza. it identified one captain and said the names of the others would be released later. israeli forces have been attacking rafah for weeks saying hamas�*s last remaining battalions are based there. meanwhile the hamas run health ministry in gaza said 30 palestinians have been killed in the past 2a hours. (read on let�*s speak to our correspondent hugo bachega injerusalem. hugo, what can you tell us about this attack?— this attack? still waiting for an official report _ this attack? still waiting for an official report but _ this attack? still waiting for an official report but israeli - this attack? still waiting for an | official report but israeli media said that this incident happened around 5am local time in rafah and an initial investigation by the israeli ministry suggests that the shoulders were driving in an arm and vehicle when it was hit by a major explosion. it is still not clear what caused this explosion, this was part of a convoy and it was the only vehicle that was hit. all eight soldiers were killed immediately. these troops were returning after an overnight operation in a neighbourhood in rafah at in which around 50 palestinian fighters were killed according to the israeli media report. this is one of the deli —— deadliest incident. the armed wing of hamas said it had carried out an attack on an israeli convoy with an empty armour rocket. again, which still don�*t have official details of what happened there about another deadly incident for the israeli ministry in gaza. this particular vehicle is heavily armoured isn�*t it?

this happened last night in staines in surrey. pictures have been shared on social media. these pictures have been shed millions of times. they have prompted outrage by certain people who accuse a police of using heavy—handed tactics. what we can understand by viewing the footage is that a cow had escaped. it was wandering along a busy road. the footage shows the moment a police car accelerates and hits the cow. the cow then faltered around and rolls on the road a bit. then, the police vehicle hits the cow a second time. in terms of surrey police, conscious that... they said this had been trying to capture this cow for several hours after it was reported to be on the leaves around 9pm last night. they said they tried a number of different methods that had into work. they were flown for the safety of the general public. at that point, they decided to use a and ram it into the cow. in terms of the reaction, the reaction, the rspca have said that the fitted is distressing and upsetting. they feel that the police will pop the mac response was disproportionate. so please —— the police�*s response was disproportionate. with regard to the cow, we are told that the cow was taken to a nearby farm, it is currently being overseen by a vet but it has suffered a large injury to its leg. but but it has suffered a large in'ury to its let. �* , but it has suffered a large in'ury toitslea. �* , , to its leg. but it is in recovery mode, thankfully?

certainly, in their public statements, both russia and ukraine are sticking to absolutely a maximalist position. ukraine saying that there was no room for negotiation on ukraine�*s territorial integrity, and its dependence and sovereignty. we heard from vladimir putin willing to capitulate, saying it had to hand overfor putin willing to capitulate, saying it had to hand over for massive chunks of territory and give up its ambitions ofjoining nato. 0n chunks of territory and give up its ambitions ofjoining nato. on paper, it sounds like these two sides are far apart as they ever were. and there�*s no chance of bridging the 93p- there�*s no chance of bridging the gap. that is what this summit is trying to begin to do. the hashtag they have chosen is the path to peace. it is going to be a very long one of the sea. i think what ukraine is trying to do is to seize the agenda and be the one who is trying to control the narrative. —— seize the initiative. for the men set out this in 2020 g... ukraine, had the upper hand. it makes it a rather complicated piece to try and negotiate. as we had competing in russia, washer at this point doesn�*t appear to see any need to negotiate. but keep you up—to—date of course with any developments from that meeting in switzerland. we�*re at the halfway point in the general election campaign here in the uk. the politicial parties are out campaigning again this weekend. it�*s now three weeks until the next government is formed. the labour leader sir keir starmer has ruled out raising capital gains tax on people�*s main homes should his party win the election. it comes after the conservatives repeatedly raised questions over labour�*s tax policies. we�*ve been clear about the 40,000 appointments every single week. hosp appointments every single week. how will -a for appointments every single week. how-n" will pay for them. just as we did in the last government, but the waiting list down. so we do so again. on the border ever, of course we need money for the nhs but you also need to reform. i ran a public service for five years. i know more money in the top gives you a slightly better service. but you only get a materially better service. as far as health is concerned, we need to perform, to get the preventative model. we have got fully funded mental health support in our community set out in our manifesto, but we have to change the model and use much better technology. meanwhile, the prime minister has shrugged off questions about the conservative polls ratings. speaking at the ukraine peace summit in switzerland, rishi sunak said the election was a clear choice between the tories and labour. what we have seen over the last week is manifestos from both the major parties _ is manifestos from both the major parties. the clear choice between the two _ parties. the clear choice between the two parties is that the conservative manifesto delivers a clear— conservative manifesto delivers a clear plan — conservative manifesto delivers a clear plan for the future, notably cutting _ clear plan for the future, notably cutting taxes for people at every stage _ cutting taxes for people at every stage of— cutting taxes for people at every stage of their lives. whether self—employed, wagon, buying their first homes and indeed, everyone who is retired _ first homes and indeed, everyone who is retired. labour, it isjust higher— is retired. labour, it isjust higher taxes. just £2000 in higher taxes _ higher taxes. just £2000 in higher taxes for— higher taxes. just £2000 in higher taxes for every working family. i don't _ taxes for every working family. i don't want — taxes for every working family. i don't want to see that. with me is our political correspondent, damian grammaticas. what it appears the tories are trying to do is dig away at this idea of taxes.— trying to do is dig away at this idea of taxes. yes and you had it a . ain idea of taxes. yes and you had it again there- _ idea of taxes. yes and you had it again there. rishi _ idea of taxes. yes and you had it again there. rishi sunak- idea of taxes. yes and you had it again there. rishi sunak nice - idea of taxes. yes and you had it again there. rishi sunak nice is i again there. rishi sunak nice is that figure he is putting out is highly contested. experts have looked at it and said that they don�*t think it stacks up. it is based on advisers are not labour party policies as such originally. he is still pushing this and then pushing this line about whether labour tax your home. that is not the case at the minute, labour said they went to do that at all. what you see there is doubling down the strategy, trying to tap into people�*s fears about tax. i think there�*s going to be more of it, they have seen this as a route where they can try and get some traction. it is a question — can try and get some traction. it is a question of— can try and get some traction. it is a question of keeping the momentum going in the second half, isn�*t it? yes. for labour, they have a healthy lead in the opinion polls and what we have seen today is a defensive move and it is not the policy, it is never going to be the policy they said. the conservatives are trying to find a way to shift that but labour want to say that there is a bigger debate here than just about the tax. they say that their approach is all about growth and wealth creation and that is what, the message they want to send. some of the other parties interestingly are saying we do need to talk about investing in the nhs, in the green transition, the green party, the liberal democrats. it is interesting that there are some evidence in poole that people are quite receptive to some of those messages and you see a need for those things to be talked about. still and you see a need for those things to be talked about.— to be talked about. still a long way to be talked about. still a long way to no. to be talked about. still a long way to go- second _ to be talked about. still a long way to go. second halves. _ to be talked about. still a long way to go. second halves. speaking - to be talked about. still a long way to go. second halves. speaking of| to go. second halves. speaking of second halves. and let�*s move to the football. a reminder that we have a life page online, you can get the latest on the campaigns and our correspondence in, including jamie. whereas the bbc verify team will look at the claims made by politicians. you can find out on the bbc website and app. as i promised, it is now football, not my strongest such —— subject. football next. it was a sobering night for scotland at the euros, as they suffered a bruising 5—1 defeat to hosts germany in the opening match of the tournament. meanwhile, spain is now 3—0 up against croatia. over the next month, 24 nations will battle for the title, with tens of thousands of fans cheering their teams on. joining me now is nicky bandini who�*s an italian football pundit and european football broadcaster, mina rzouki. welcome to both. there start with you mina. what do you think is going to the sector over the next a few weeks?
