where she loved to be. an accomplished horsewoman, she played a leading part in the event. but last night, princess anne was injured on her estate, gatcombe park, in gloucestershire. it's understood she was hurt after coming into contact with a horse's head or legs while on a walk. in a statement, buckingham palace said... "the princess royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion, following an incident on the gatcombe park estate yesterday evening. the king has been kept closely informed and joins the whole royal family in sending his fondst love and well wishes to the princess for a speedy recovery." year on year, princess anne tops the list of royals who carry out the most public engagements. her work is often under the radar, without the glamour and attention others receive. but in a year where the royal family has faced serious health issues, her contribution has been more important than ever, especially her support for her older brother. their closeness and his appreciation of his sister have become more obvious since he became king. princess anne's accident adds to the depleted number of full—time working royals at the moment. these have been challenging months, but there are now real gaps in terms of who can carry out public duties. princess anne is notoriously keen to avoid a fuss at all costs, but her injuries mean her engagements this week have been postponed, including a trip to canada. she is likely to remain in hospital until later this week. daniela relph, bbc news. much more on princess anne on our website. now let's turn to the uk election. rishi sunak and sir keir starmer have tonight taken questions from voters in a live election special, hosted by the sun newspaper. first up, mr sunak was asked about conservative candidates being looked into by the gambling commission over alleged bets on the date of the general election, and why they haven't been suspended. i share absolutely in people's... i'm as angry as anybody when i learn about these things. of course i am. mm, i think the voters are probably angrier. yeah, well, no, i'm incredibly angry about this. and the right thing to do — and, again, you talked about that letter — to do things properly is to get to the bottom of what happened, to investigate things thoroughly. you know, we have to do that separately to the gambling commission, who don't report to me. i don't have the details of their investigation. we have to do that sensitively and carefully, so that we don't compromise the integrity of a police and other investigations. but let me be clear — if we come across findings or information that warrants it, we will not hesitate to act. i've been crystal—clear that i will hold people to account. i will kick... whoever they are. mr sunak was also asked whether he regretted making the pledge to stop small boat crossings. i think illegal migration is unfair. i don't think it's right that people come to our country illegally, and i want to do everything i can to stop it. and you say that the progress we've made. let's be clear, right? over the last 12 months, the numbers are lower than they were in the 12 months before... 18% higher this year already. well, hang on... we're halfway through the year now... 0k. ..and it's18% higher. if you look at a full year, it's down on the year before. but i've been clear, we haven't got the job done. the only way to do that is to make sure that we make it clear to everyone, if you come to our country illegally, you won't get to stay, you'll be removed. now, if i'm your prime minister, the flights will go to rwanda, the people will be removed. will they, though? yes, they will. when? and the choice for everyone... they'll go injuly. next up, keir starmer was pressed on his previous support for the former labour leader, jeremy corbyn. well, harry, i don't think the choice at the last election was a good choice. iaccept... — but you backed jeremy corbyn. ididn't... you said his manifesto embodied "decency and hope". harry, i didn't think we would win. i don't think we were in a position to win. but what's happened with jeremy corbyn, if you look at my leadership on this, i picked up the labour party. i recognised many people had not voted for us last time, possibly people in this room, and i said, we're never going to put that proposition in front of the electorate again. i'm not going to say to the electorate, "what do you think you're doing?" i'm going to say to my party, "we need to shake this up and change it." so i've changed the labour party, so there's a fundamentally different choice at this election. and jeremy corbyn not only lost the whip as a labour mp, he's now been expelled from the labour party. mr starmer was also asked about gender identity and whether he would meet with the authorjk rowling, who has criticised labour for "abandoning" women over its stance on the rights of transgender people. look, i actually do really respect what she's said. are you going to have a meeting with her, are you going to try and bring her back? she used to be a labour donor. of course i'd meet with her. of course i would. and again, my approach in life... i came into politics really late. i'm not as tribal as everybody else. i've run operations, i've run a public service. my view is if there's an issue or a challenge, roll up your sleeves, get people round the table and talk through the issues and find a way forward. so i'd always talk to anyone about this. the only rule i suppose i would set is, we've got to treat each other with respect. and jk rowling, i respect her and i don't suggest for a minute that she hasn't, that she doesn't... she's made some really important points, i'd welcome that discussion. our political correspondent harry farley was watching the leaders being questioned in the sun's spin room and we canjoin him now. any winners here so far, your thoughts?— any winners here so far, your thou~hts?
