Good evening. I'm Pais, Morgcensored. A busy show tonight, but we start with some big breaking news.

Unfortunately, more concerns about the health of Her Majesty, the Queen. It's just been announced

she'll miss the state opening of the British Parliament tomorrow and the reading of the Queen's speech that formally sets out the government's plans for the year ahead.

The Palace says she can't attend due to episodic mobility problems.

Incredibly, the last time she missed this ceremony was in 1963.

She hasn't missed it in my lifetime, and she's only ever missed it twice in her entire 70-year reign both times due to pregnancy.

We know the Queen struggled increasingly with her health, including about of COVID in February.

And I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say I sincerely wish her the very speediest of recoveries, particularly with the Platinum Jubilee celebrations coming up fast.

We're bringing the ladies on Miss Breaking News throughout the show, but now my brain dumb.

Well, it's apparently victory day in Russia, and Vladimir Putin's been flexing his supposed

military muscle in a North Korea-style parade that would make even Kim Jong-un look bashful.

But the only victory that Putin's marking this year is becoming the world's biggest loser.

He lost the first major battle in Ukraine and the capital Kyiv.

He lost as many as 25,000 troops and 38 colonels on the battlefield.

He's lost the global safe havens for the blood-soaked oil billions of him and his oligarch cronies. He's also turned Russia

into the most hated country on earth. So for him to stand there celebrating victory is a disingenuous

farce. But the most savage irony of Putin's victory day is it in fact marks Russia's triumph

over Nazi Germany. The Soviet Union lost more men to fighting fascism in World War II than any other country.

27 million Soviets died for the cause.

They fought so their grandchildren could live in peace.

But instead, Putin's chosen war.

And who are the Nazis today?
