the speaker is supposed to remain politically neutral, but has been accused of allowing labour to "hijack" the vote. things have been moving fast this lunchtime. in the last half hour, the labour leader sir keir starmer has "categorically" denied threatening sir lindsay to select labour's amendment in the gaza debate, and the speaker himself has apologised and told mps he had a duty of care to them. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. hanging over parliament today, one question, kinda speaker regain his authority after his last night? i authority after his last night? i have therefore decided to select the amendments made in the name of the prime minister and in the name of the leader of the opposition. that was breaking _ the leader of the opposition. that was breaking with convention. then the speaker disappeared.— the speaker disappeared. where on earth is the — the speaker disappeared. where on earth is the speaker _ the speaker disappeared. where on earth is the speaker of _ the speaker disappeared. where on earth is the speaker of the - the speaker disappeared. where on earth is the speaker of the house l the speaker disappeared. where on| earth is the speaker of the house of commons? — earth is the speaker of the house of

express their anger, conservative and snp mps have been putting their names to a motion saying they have no confidence in the speaker. it is not enough to remove him back more than 50 have signed, and the numbers are climbing. the speaker has said he will hold meetings with senior mps, to try to regain their confidence. the conservatives say that labour are responsible for putting the speaker in a bind. irate putting the speaker in a bind. we have putting the speaker in a bind. - have seen into the heart of labour's leadership. nothing is more important than the interests of the labour party. the labour party before principal, the labour party before principal, the labour party before individual rights, the labour party before the reputation and honour of the decent man that sits in the speakers djere. the honour of the decent man that sits in the speakers djere._ in the speakers d'ere. the protest esterda in the speakers djere. the protest yesterday outside _ in the speakers djere. the protest yesterday outside parliament. - in the speakers djere. the protest yesterday outside parliament. the issue of ceasefire in gaza has caused divisions inside and out. mps

" i have expressed to you privately prior to proceedings today, we do not, on these benches, therefore, believe that you can can continue in your role as speaker, we do not have confidence in your ability to do so. the speaker has offered an

opportunity to discuss the debate on gaza, but can he remain in his post? damian, a fast moving story this lunchtime. what are the latest developments? there is a new apology from the speaker. he said i apologise, i made a mistake. he said he had been trying to protect mps because he said many do feel real pressure, and some have faced threats about the way they vote on the gaza issue, so he has been trying to offer a range of options, but he said i apologise, i never want to go through a

situation like this, i don't want anything like this to happen. he has offered a new debate on the gaza issue, so we might get a rerun of what we saw yesterday, but there are questions still hobbling. the snp

say that he lacks credibility and many mps are frustrated because on the biggest issues of our time, mps are wrangling about procedure, rather than debating the issue itself. . ~' , ., rather than debating the issue itself. ., ,, ., itself. thank you, damian grammaticas _ itself. thank you, damian grammaticas reporting. l police in some areas say they're now catching more drivers under the influence of illegal drugs than of alcohol — with one force describing what they called an "epidemic" of drug—driving. senior officers say some motorists seem to view drug—driving as more acceptable than drink—driving. the home office says they have "tough penalties and rigorous enforcement" in place. 9am on a tuesday morning and merseyside police are out in central liverpool. today, they're particularly looking out for drink and drug driving. officers have been pulling over any vehicles that look like they're unsafe in some way or are being driven in an unsafe manner. and already, within half an hour this morning, they've made three arrests after positive roadside drug tests. 927. those tests, called drug wipes, indicated the presence of cannabis, cocaine or both. you want to just grab your keys for us? that gets them arrested and taken to the station for a forensic blood test. and the result of that dictates whether any further action is taken. how prevalent do you think drug—driving actually is? so we've seen quite a lot, it's really prevalent. over the last few years, we've seen year—on—year increases of the number of people that were arrested for drug—driving. as a proportion — about two— thirds the number of drugs to one third drink — that's generally throughout the year. driving with certain illegal or prescription drugs in your system above set limits can lead to a driving ban, a fine or potentially prison time, while causing death by careless driving under the influence of drugs can carry a life sentence. summer, from king's lynn, knows the impact drug—driving can have all too well. looking at this photo, itjust takes my breath away. just me being the only one left. a year ago, her mother, sister and stepdad were killed in a crash, caused by a driver with drugs in his system. the moment them people are gone, like, your whole life has just been destroyed.

it's absolutely shattered into a million pieces. she thinks greater awareness is needed and stronger punishments. we need harsher sentencing at the start. if someone is to commit drug—driving, it needs to be harsher straight away, because if you have a harsh sentence that puts someone away the moment they drug—drive, that is going to deter people. national police leaders also want to see tougher sentences. around drug—driving compared with drink—driving. we're definitely seeing more younger people who are driving under the influence of drugs. i think generally in society we're seeing more use of cannabis, for example, and we are definitely seeing that when we are stopping and testing drivers. drink—driving, ithink, still remains more socially unacceptable. police say too many people are still getting behind the wheel under the influence of drink or drugs, but with drugs in particular, they're seeing the trend go in the wrong direction. katie austin, bbc news. employers could be sued for disability discrimination if they fail to make reasonable adjustments for women going through the menopause — that's the warning from the equalities watchdog.

guidance from the equality and human rights commission includes practical advice for supporting workers affected — such as relaxing uniform policies to allow cooler clothing, and offering working from home on warm days. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson is with me. this feels like a step change in thinking and approach. it feels like a big step change, actually, recognising the impact of the menopause or women. the menopause is the end of a woman's mental cycles, and symptoms can include hot flushes, where women have waves of heat in the body that

you like burning, brain fog, where it is hard to concentrate and multitask and exhaustion from lack of sleep. these can be very impairing in the workplace. a

significant percentage of women actually leave their jobs significant percentage of women actually leave theirjobs because of this. what the equality and human rights commission is saying is that losing women because of the menopause in the workplace is, with all of that experience they are likely to have at the age of 40—50, it is bad for business but also discriminatory. they are saying employers have a duty in law to make sure reasonable adjustments are made, so that women can stay in the workplace and if they don't do that,

they could be sued. these adjustment might be cooler uniforms, if women wear uniforms, flexible working hours, all of which could support a woman until she gets through the worst of her symptoms.— woman until she gets through the worst of her symptoms. thank you, so hutchinson- — worst of her symptoms. thank you, so hutchinson- -- — worst of her symptoms. thank you, so hutchinson. -- sophie _ worst of her symptoms. thank you, so hutchinson. -- sophie hutchinson. - the uk has air—dropped aid into gaza for the first time since the war with began, israel after striking a deal withjordan. four tonnes of supplies including medicines, food and fuel were floated down to the tal al—hawa hospital — in packages fitted with parachutes. our middle east correspondent quentin somerville reports now from onboard one of the planes delivering the aid. it is a flight not for the faint—hearted. 17,000 feet, directly above gaza. the royaljordanian air force get their oxygen ready before the cargo doors open. their payload is vital aid, desperately needed in the drop zone below, northern gaza. some last—minute adjustments to the parachutes and gps trackers, which will deliver it to a tiny, clear patch of land. supplies for a jordanian— run hospital. that is the field hospital there. the aid will be dropped there. very precise. they have done this mission a dozen times. that is being launched into the strip. inside these pallets, fuel, medical supplies and ration packs, all paid for by the uk. a last two tonnes of british aid, on its way, airdropped in to northern gaza. the area below me has been called a wasteland. there are still 300,000 palestinians remaining there. the un says that the situation is too dangerous on the ground, and that it can no longer offer help. it is a small drop in the chasm of gaza's need. but this aid sent into the night sky at least managed to get through. it landed right on target. quentin somerville, bbc news, above the gaza strip. one person has died and 13 others have been injured in a shooting near a jewish settlement in the occupied west bank. police said three palestinian gunmen opened fire at a checkpoint to the east ofjerusalem. let's get more from our middle east correspondentjenny hill. things have been tense in the west bank since the war in gaza. tell us more about what has happened. the runman more about what has happened. tue: gunman targeted early—morning commuters sitting in their cars, stuck in a trafficjam waiting to go through a checkpoint in way into

jerusalem. the men, using automatic weapons, to fire at the lines of cars. israel's war on gaza has exacerbated existing volatility, not only in the west bank but across the region, and that is one of the reason why governments are so keen to bring this conflict to a resolution. negotiations aimed at brokering a temporary ceasefire and the return of israeli hostages are

ongoing. talks are happening as i speak but those negotiators are under pressure, because israel has insisted that unless those hostages are returned by the beginning of ramadan, which isjust over a fortnight away, will go ahead with a planned ground invasion of the southern city of ratho, where there are well over a million palestinian civilians —— city of rafah. humanitarians are expressing concern about the situation on the ground coming up on a sports day in the next 15 minutes on bbc news, leading the way in london, they are going to become the first marathon to offer equal prize money for that wheelchair and able—bodied racers. considered children — and that a person could be held liable for accidentally destroying them. the hospital says it is concerned it could be prosecuted.

simonjones reports. around 100,000 babies are born each year in the us as a result of nf treatments. the procedure can help people with fertility problems have children, by removing eggs from a woman's ovaries and fertilising them with sperm in the laboratory. but this ruling from alabama's supreme court says frozen embryos are considered children and that people could be held liable for destroying them. now couples undergoing the treatment face being left in limbo. when i saw this ruling i got very angry and very hurt that it could potentially stop my cycle, and ijust said people need to know that this is affecting couples, real—life couples who are trying to start families, who are just trying to live the "american dream", and you're stopping us from having a child. alabama's largest hospital has paused its ivf services, fearing it could be exposed

to criminal prosecutions. this is unprecedented, this has never happened before. we now have a situation where we are saying that a fertilised egg is a child, and all of the things that we do as part of the ivf cycle are called into question. but conservative christian groups have described the ruling as a tremendous victory for life. we know that there are hundreds of thousands of embryos that - are discarded through the ivf process, killed and lost, - i and as pro—lifers we believe that'sl an unethical treatment of human life and so hopefully through this - decision people can begin to examine that and to make changes in the industry. _ my body. my choice. the ruling is being watched closely by campaigners on both sides of the abortion debate, as the question of when an embryo is legally considered a person is a factor in many state abortion restrictions.

simon jones, bbc news. a special constable has been sacked after he viewed body cam footage of one of the victims of last year's nottingham attacks. the officer looked at images of barnaby webber. the nottinghamshire chief constable said the images were not shared, but that she took accelerated disciplinary action against the officer. we can speak now to our correspondent phil mackie, who is in nottingham forest. what more do we know about what happened?- nottingham forest. what more do we know about what happened? reeta, let me start with — know about what happened? reeta, let me start with the _ know about what happened? reeta, let me start with the background _ know about what happened? reeta, let me start with the background just - know about what happened? reeta, let me start with the background just to i me start with the background just to remind people about what happened last may here in nottingham. valdo calocane stabbed three people to death, that was grace o'malley—kumar, barnaby webberand o'malley—kumar, barnaby webber and ian o'malley—kumar, barnaby webberand ian coates and also attacked three other people during a morning that

shocked notjust the city of nottingham but the rest of the country. he was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order at a hearing injanuary here in nottingham after the crown prosecution service accepted a plea of manslaughter due to diminished responsibility. he was suffered from paranoid schizophrenia at the time. now we have learned there have been a number of disciplinary actions taken against officers with the nottinghamshire force, not least with a special constable who had only recentlyjoined the force in may last year and who viewed some of the body cam footage of first aid being given to barnaby webber after he had been fatally stabbed here in the city. the images were not shared, but the force took the matter very seriously and this morning the chief constable kate meynell has been explaining why she took disciplinary action. a special constable did view the incident on body worn video footage. there was no evidence to suggest that he shared those images, at all. this falls far below the standards that i expect within this organisation, and, as such,

he appeared before me, at an accelerated misconduct hearing where i made the decision to dismiss him from the force. emma webber, barnaby webber�*s mother has said this doesn't help with the pain and there are lots of other investigations going on about whether or not the police handled the case properly in the first place and a review has been ordered into the sentence given to valdo calocane earlier on this week by the attorney general but i thank you, phil mackie there. from today, bereaved parents in england can apply for official certificates to mark the loss of a baby before 2a weeks of pregnancy. the documents are intended to help families cope with grief, as tim muffett reports. we have our little jack and aj. sometimes it does feel like it's alljust been a bad dream. and it's like i need something — to know that it was real, they did exist. nat has a healthy two—year—old daughter, but before she was born, nat lost three babies during pregnancy.

i lost my first son in 2019 at 20 weeks. we lost our daughter sophie in 2020 at 38 weeks. and then in my third pregnancy, i found out that i'd lost my little girl's twin at about five weeks. until now, the loss of a baby in england before 2a weeks' gestation hasn't been officially recognised. it was hard. so whilst nat received a death certificate for sophie, who she lost at 38 weeks, there was nothing for aj and jack. my worry is we were always going to leave this world and apart from the few family and friends that do acknowledge them, that they'd be forgotten. from today, in england, parents who've lost a baby before 2a weeks' gestation will be able to apply for a certificate, free of charge. the voluntary scheme will be available to those who have experienced the loss since the 1st of september 2018. we know that there'll be lots of people who had losses prior to that date who will possibly want

one of these certificates, too. we can understand, you know, that these things are complicated. you know, there's potentially so many people who will want these things, so they need to make sure that the systems are robust and that people can get it and test those systems. but we do, we desperately do want to see it extended to losses previous to that date. the change follows years of work from campaigners, including actress kym marsh. i was 21 weeks five days pregnant when i went into labour and lost my son, sadly. one of the most upsetting things for me was the fact that there was no record of him ever being here. i lost sophie. nat was able to take part in a trial scheme, which is why she already has her certificates. what difference do you think this will make for many families? it will make a huge difference for so many families. it's that extra connection to their babies.

i've got friends in the lost community that had their babies born at 23 plus five, so a matter of two days and they have nothing to show for their little one. and that breaks their heart. the impact of the certificates on nat has already been profound. so, no, they're never going to be forgotten. tim muffett, bbc news. today's talks at the g20 summit in rio dejaneiro will focus on whether the united nations is fit for purpose. it comes after an accusation from the host nation, brazil, that the un is failing to tackle the conflicts in ukraine and gaza, leading to "innocent lives being lost". our south america correspondent ione wells is in rio. the un under scrutiny? that's right.

these summits _ the un under scrutiny? that's right. these summits are _ the un under scrutiny? that's right. these summits are really _ these summits are really about trying to find consensus but that is in short supply here when it comes to how to tackle the conflict in ukraine and gaza. the host country brazil has been particularly critical of how at the moment the un allows certain countries to veto votes that take place, the us, the uk, france, russia and china. they argue this is costing innocent lives because, for example, russia is able to veto votes that have ta ken place about the conflict in ukraine and just this week the us was able to veto a vote on a ceasefire in gaza. now, they argue this is costing innocent lives. i think why this matters is not only are some of the ministers in this centre today involved in the conflicts, like the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov, who is here, but also some of the leaders here have real influence on what happens in these conflicts, notably the us because of their role in providing military to —— military support to israel in the conflict in gaza was white ione, thank you.

hundreds more people have been forced to leave their homes this morning after an unexploded world war two bomb was found in a plymouth garden. the exclusion zone in the keyham area has been widened from 200 to 300 metres. 1,200 residents have already spent two nights away from their homes. jenny kumah reports. it is day three since the world war ii bomb was found, and it continues to disrupt people's lives. a further 2,000 people have been asked to leave their homes this morning for at least 36 hours. just go away for the weekend, because we have got three dogs, so we don't know where else to go, so... i live with my disabled mum, so i will find out before i go tonight, but i will be going back with a plan on coming back obviously unless i get told otherwise. this 500 kilograms device was reported to police on tuesday morning. it was found by a man digging in his garden. a major incident was quickly declared. initially, around 1,200 people were asked to leave their properties.

if i can't go in a hotel, i have got friends who offered beforehand... claire and sue are among hundreds affected by the new cordon area. i was allowed round there, i picked up a suitcase and things. and walking into the house, thinking, is this still going to be there? because we don't know, do we? we don't know what is going to happen. in total, with the cordon being extended, more than 3,000 people have been asked to leave their homes. this leisure centre has been set up as a rest centre to support people. the council is asking people to stay with friends and family if they can. so far, more than 90 families have been put up in hotels, but dozens more may need temporary accommodation. what are we going to do about it? it is either stay here and get blown up, or come here, isn't it? if you have got people with a toddler, it is just really impractical. it is the whole not knowing, ithink, that is the real issue. i never thought we would have to leave our house and -

come down here, but we got in here, everything got set up and we are - feeling really better now. it is really like a nightmare. experts continue to assess whether to deal with the device on site, or to take it away to destroy it. for many in the community, it remains a difficult and anxious time. jenny kumar, bbc news, plymouth. smart gumshields that record the forces involved in collision sports are being used in the men's six nations for the first time. they're designed to make the game safer. felicity kvesic has this report. for some, collisions are part of what make rugby so appealing. for others, the hits have become the dominant part of the sport. faced with growing player welfare concerns, the game's governing body has introduced new smart gumshields. two academic studies, funded by world rugby, found that 86% of forces measured by the gumshields were the same or less than those experienced in running, jumping or skipping. my concern is that we're not

seeing the full picture. they should be looking at higher. the concussions, as i said before, if they're occurring at between 90 and 120 gs and we're now saying that it's a head injury problem and there's lots of concussions and we all see them on tv, then what's going on? the smart gumshields, or instrumented mouth guards, contain a chip that measures the gravitational forces involved in contacts. when a contact occurs they send a real—time g—force measurement to medical teams and match officials to help decide whether a player needs a concussion test. commentator: iwonder if it's a gum shield. - recently scotland's george turner became the first player in the men's six nations to be substituted, after sensors in his mouth guard detected a large impact. in studies, the gumshields, made by prevent biometrics, measured collisions from five to above 60 g, but academics want more examination of the higher force collisions. in a statement, prevent biometrics

told the bbc their gumshield "is the most widely evaluated and independently scrutinised head impact sensor on the planet". they added that it has a "95% to 99% correlation for head impact metrics". former wales international alix popham was diagnosed with early onset dementia at the age of a0. he's part of a legal case challenging the game's governing bodies over what they knew about head impacts. there's no point keeping your head in the sand on these issues. rugby is a contact sport but people need to know the true data of what is happening. i still love rugby, i want it to carry on, but these changes need to be made as soon as possible. world rugby told the bbc that the data from the gumshield studies was reported accurately and in full but there was more research to do.

the report authors said "as academic researchers, we have our own ethics and standards to uphold. our research stands as independent work. we stand by our findings and our own integrity as researchers. from the outset our position with world rugby was that we will follow the data wherever that takes us." many agree that smart gumshields can support player welfare, but it's the science behind them causing more questions than clarity. felicity kvesic, bbc news. a team of scientists and engineers is analysing the first pictures of a remote area of antarctica gathered by a new giant drone. scientists from the british antarctica survey want to use the drone to reach inaccessible parts of the continent to understand the impacts of climate change. the drone is operated remotely and engineers monitor it from a computer. this first experiment is surveying the mountains under an ice sheet —
