ROBERT HARDMAN: Under proposals expected to come before Parliament, possibly within weeks, the King will be able to draw on a wider pool of royal substitutes - not least the Princess Royal (left inset) and the Earl of Wessex (right inset)- to conduct routine constitutional duties when he is out of the country. The plans are being drawn up to avoid the two dukes (left) being involved in any affairs of the state in the absence of the King (right).
Zelensky invites Sunak to Ukraine as pair hold first phonecall since he took power - vowing to 'write a new chapter' in UK's support for Ukraine before PM and President Biden chat hours after US leader pronounced his name wrong
Rishi Sunak (pictured left) stepped up to the international stage last night taking calls from world leaders as he laid down the foundations for his premiership. Hours after his cabinet reshuffle, Mr Sunak took a call from US president Joe Biden (inset above) and discussed the war in Ukraine, as the US President called the UK his country's 'closest ally'. This was despite the president earlier mispronouncing the PM's name as 'Rashee Sanook' in his congratulatory speech. The new Prime Minister will meet Joe Biden in the coming weeks at the G20 summit in Indonesia. The PM also spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (pictured right) and pledged the UK would continue to provide support as it defends itself from Russian aggression. Zelensky in turn invited Sunak to visit Ukraine. Yesterday, the PM also received congratulatory messages from other world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron (below inset), German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Vicious dog bites chunk of little girl's cheek off: Five-year-old left with life-changing horror injuries after neighbour's Staffordshire bull terrier pinned her down and mauled her face
GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: A five-year-old has suffered life-changing injuries after her neighbour's dog pinned her down and bit a chunk of her cheek off in a vicious attack. Elsie (before injury left; after, right), from Croydon, South London , was playing with her friends outside her home when the Staffordshire bull terrier attacked her, leaving her with wounds requiring three surgeries. Elsie's mother, Kirsty, 29, has revealed that as well as her physical injuries, her daughter has been left traumatised. 'She doesn't want to go out, particularly on public transport because she doesn't want people to stare at her,' she said. 'She hasn't been back to school since because she doesn't want her friends to see her like this.' The vicious attack took place at around 5pm on September 25 when Elsie and her sister Amelia, 9, were playing with friends in a secure area in front of their block.

Rishi reveals his new team (which looks a lot like the old team): Michael Gove is BACK and Suella Braverman returns as Home Secretary - as Raab is restored as deputy PM, Hunt stays as Chancellor, and Cleverly keeps Foreign Office amid huge clear-out
Suella Braverman - who quit just six days ago over a 'security breach' was the big winner in a brutal overhaul, as Rishi Sunak rewarded her for supporting him over Boris Johnson in the Tory leadership battle. Jeremy Hunt has been confirmed as Chancellor just a week before the crucial Halloween Budget, while Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace clung on amid a major clearout of 11 ministers. But the changes were notable for the number of people returning to jobs they previously held - including Mr Gove at Levelling Up Secretary, Mr Raab as deputy PM and Justice Secretary, Steve Barclay at Health and Oliver Dowden running the Cabinet Office. Penny Mordaunt has been snubbed for promotion despite her pitch for the leadership, remaining as Commons Leader, while tips of Kemi Badenoch getting a bigger job proved wide of the mark as she sticks at Trade. Those ejected included Jacob Rees-Mogg, Kit Malthouse, Brandon Lewis, Robert Buckland and Ranil Jayawardena.
'If you're allergic to eggs, don't order an omelet!' Now Balthazar STAFF lash out at 'very rude' James Corden for his infamous brunch tantrum... but owner says he's welcome back 'any time'
Staff at the restaurant questioned Corden's version of events during brunch service on Tuesday, telling DailyMail.com that his on-air apology last night was 'bulls**t'. There are only two omelets on the menu at the famous New York City eatery; the $25 Omelette with Herbs, and the $27, Egg-White Omelette. Both come with a side of home fries or salad. The servers explained that Corden was asking for something that is not offered, and was angry when it wasn't up to his standards. 'He wanted an omelet that had only egg yolks. Not the egg-white omelet, just egg yolks.

Bankrupt former millionaire James Stunt, 40, the ex-husband of F1 heiress Petra Ecclestone (right), is being tried with seven others for hiding £266m in funds at a gold dealer.

Model Daisy Lowe (left) has been accused in court of using expensive lawyers' bills to scare a celebrity builder from suing her over an £118,000 revamp bill for her home (lower inset). Phil Turner (right), best known for BBC show House Invaders, says Daisy, 33, still owes his company £45,000 after a £118,000 makeover of her Victorian terraced house in north London. Daisy, daughter of Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale, says she didn't pay because Mr Turner's work - which included a £30,000 kitchen - was not up to standard.
What a tuk up! Police force is blasted for splashing nearly £70,000 of public cash on four bright blue and yellow tuk-tuks... that will only be used to patrol parks and public spaces
A police force which spent almost £70,000 of taxpayers money on four tuk-tuks has been blasted as 'an absolute embarrassment' online. Gwent Police bought four bright blue and yellow Thai-style three-wheelers intended to be driven by officers or police 'ambassadors' and used to patrol parks, walkways and public spaces. The force announced the three-wheeled vehicles but withheld how much the vehicles had cost - and said simply that funding came from the Home Office.
