King Charles III addresses Parliament for first time |
| King Charles III addressed lawmakers in Britain's Parliament for the first time as monarch, telling them "I cannot but help feel the weight of history which surrounds us." Charles told members of the House of Commons and House of Lords that he would follow his late mother Queen Elizabeth II in upholding "the precious principles of constitutional governance" that underpin the U.K.'s political system. The first members of the public will have the chance to pay their respects to the late queen when the monarch's coffin lies at rest at St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. Charles will accompany the oak coffin on a solemn procession through the cobbled streets of the Scottish capital from the royal Palace of Holyroodhouse to the cathedral. Read more |

The latest in Mississippi's water crisis |
| While officials say water pressure has returned to Jackson, there is still a boil-water advisory and 150,000 residents still lack drinking water. Read more |
| Will it ever get better? Officials have been sampling the water at one of the city's two water treatment plants, but aren't ready to sample the distribution system. Officials will need at least two straight days of clean samples before the boil-water advisory is lifted. |
| • | The background: After excessive rainfall led to flooding at the Pearl River in late August, one of the city's two water-treatment plants failed. Low or no water pressure left many residents without sufficient water to drink, bathe or flush toilets. | | • | Getting water pressure back doesn't end the crisis. The city's aging infrastructure could fail, leading to burst pipes and prolonged barriers to restore running water. | | • | This issue isn't new for Jackson residents. Most of the city's residents have lacked reliable access to water for years, and it's a familiar threat in disinvested communities of color. | |
 | | Jackson, Mississippi, resident Bertha Anderson, 84, filled a gallon bag with water from her tap and hung it on her porch in an effort to ward off flies. Green sediment settled on the bottom. | | Barbara Gauntt/Clarion Ledger, Barbara Gauntt/Clarion Ledger | |
