King's Speech: No Surprises in Government Agenda As Tories Eye Election

<p> The King's Speech laid out the government's lawmaking agenda in the run-up to the next election, with announcements around crime and policing, housing, oil and gas drilling and more. Our senior reporter Alex Wickham joins us to discuss why the speech might appear unambitious, and could pose problems for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Plus: as James Cleverly and Grant Shapps join the G-7 meeting in Japan to discuss the conflict in the Middle East, we hear from our reporter Fares Akram, who's been speaking to people in Gaza about what life is like there, one month into the war between Israel and Hamas.
