he handled a vote on a ceasefire in gaza last night. but rishi sunak stopped short of saying he should resign. more than 60 mps have now called for sir lindsay to go — after he changed parliamentary convention in a way that ended up helping labour. the move sparked chaos in the commons as dozens of snp and conservative mps walked out. the speaker today apologised again saying he had made a mistake. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman reports. this is another example of our politicians getting involved in bun fights. it politicians getting involved in bun fiuhts. . , politicians getting involved in bun fiuhts. , , fights. it has stopped being about gaza and it became _ fights. it has stopped being about gaza and it became about - fights. it has stopped being about gaza and it became about them. i fights. it has stopped being about| gaza and it became about them. it gaza and it became about them.

their own vehicles, but ultimately it was deeply distressing to learn about that. but also for my village, they had never seen anything like this before. the they had never seen anything like this before-— this before. the prime minister is worried for— this before. the prime minister is worried for what _ this before. the prime minister is worried for what sarah _ this before. the prime minister is worried for what sarah lindsay's i worried for what sarah lindsay's decision says for our society. irate decision says for our society. we should never let extremist intimidate us into the way in which partiament— intimidate us into the way in which parliament works. parliament is an important — parliament works. parliament is an important place to have these debates — important place to have these debates and just because some people itii-i'it debates and just because some people might want to stifle that with intimidation or aggressive behaviour, we should not bend to that and — behaviour, we should not bend to that and change our parliament works — that and change our parliament works it — that and change our parliament works. it is very slippery slope and not the _ works. it is very slippery slope and not the right way to go.— not the right way to go. disagree whether lindsay _ not the right way to go. disagree whether lindsay hoyle _ not the right way to go. disagree whether lindsay hoyle was - not the right way to go. disagree whether lindsay hoyle was right| not the right way to go. disagree l whether lindsay hoyle was right to sanction to justify his action yesterday. but they agree there is a problem and that it is getting worse. the 67, but as the crucial number being watched closely here in parliament because it is the number of mps, almost all of them conservative and snp who have signed a motion of no confidence in sir

lindsay hoyle. speak of the commons lives or dies by their reputation as a fair referee. 67, that means more than one in ten of the mps he is there to serve thinks he isn't a fair referee. that is a poor position for a common speaker to find himself in. henry, thank you. in gaza after nearly five months of war — the humanitarian catastrophe is taking its toll. the un says an estimated 300,000 palestinians remain in northern gaza where there is a growing risk of famine. for the first time, britain has airdropped aid including fuel, medical equipment and food rations into gaza. a royaljordanian airforce hercules left amman injordan and travelled to the north of gaza city making the air drop near the tal al—hawa hospital. our senior correspondent quentin sommerville had exclusive access to the flight and sends this report. they called themselves guts airline.

this royaljordanian air force flight is not for the faint hearted. they get their oxygen ready. 17,000 feet directly above gaza before the cargo door is open. the target is a jordanian run field hospital in gaza city. that's the field hospital here. the aid will be brought there. they've done this mission a dozen times. but for the first time, its british aid that's being launched into the strip. inside these pallets fuel, medical supplies and ration packs all paid for by the uk. the last two tonnes of british aid on its way here dropped in the northern gaza area. the area below me has been

pumped into a wasteland. we're still 300,000 palestinians remaining. the un says the situation is too dangerous. but this aid sent into the night sky at least managed to get through. it landed right on target. not far from gaza's southern border on another mercy mission. today. and her family were trapped in gaza for months. they're heading now to abu dhabi on this special flight organised by the united arab emirates. you can see the relief on their faces with some of them and the stress on others. the reason they're being evacuated is because gaza's health care system is collapsing. some 23 hospitals have been knocked out of action since israel invaded.

a dozen are still working, but the conditions are grim. doctors are working with anaesthetic. they're working without painkillers. and some of the patients arriving on these evacuation flights turn up with gangrene in the wounds. the plane has become an air ambulance taking sick and injured palestinian children and 13—year—old yassin for medical treatment. translation: my dream is to get back on m lens translation: my dream is to get back on my legs again- _ translation: my dream is to get back on my legs again- play _ translation: my dream is to get back on my legs again. play football- on my legs again. play football with my friends. and for the war to end so i can go back to my country. it so i can go back to my country. it has been a long journey but in abu dhabi, they are out of harms way. but those left will note that those left behind are still far from safe.

the government has set out its plans to clear the names of hundreds of sub postmasters who were wrongly convicted in the horizon it scandal. the law is expected to come into force by the end ofjuly and will apply to convictions in england and wales. more than 900 subpostmasters were wrongly prosecuted after the horizon software made it look as though money was missing from the accounts of post office branches. the former barcelona and brazil footballer dani alves has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison for rape. the a0—year—old is one of the games most decorated players. he had denied sexually assaulting a woman in barcelona two years ago. nestor mcgregor reports. dani alves, one of the most decorated footballers of all time. 126 caps for brazil and the club level, spells with paris saint jermain, juventus and barcelona, where he won six league titles and the champions league three times. but today in a court room in the same city he once represented, he was sentenced to a.5 years in jail

for rape. the encounter took place in the toilets in the vip section of a nightclub. dani alves was arrested in january 2023. at first the a0—year—old denied knowing the woman before changing his story, claiming the sex was consensual. a representative for the victim welcomed the verdict, saying it recognises what we have always known, the truth, as told by the victim and the suffering that been. in spain fall from grace for a player once one of the world's most expensive defenders. i player once one of the world's most expensive defenders.— expensive defenders. i think for a lot of people _ expensive defenders. i think for a lot of people this _ expensive defenders. i think for a lot of people this feels _ expensive defenders. i think for a lot of people this feels like - expensive defenders. i think for a lot of people this feels like a - lot of people this feels like a crushing blow. it is the fall of one of the idols they had on a pedestal, someone they looked up to and considered one of the best footballers in the game. dani alves has been in — footballers in the game. dani alves has been in police _ footballers in the game. dani alves has been in police custody - footballers in the game. dani alves has been in police custody since - footballers in the game. dani alves has been in police custody since he| has been in police custody since he was arrested and after he has completed his prison sentence, he will be on probation for a further five years. our top story this evening... the mother of the dead russian

opposition leader alexei navalny says she's finally seen his body, and accuses the authorities of blackmail. coming up... the baffling effect of this somerset cycle lane, which has caused so many people to trip up. and coming up in sport on bbc news, ollie robinson returns for england in ranchi, as they name their squad to face india ahead of the opening day of the fourth test. this saturday marks two years since russian president vladimir putin ordered his troops to invade ukraine. in that time, the russian military has faced huge losses — the latest bbc estimates suggest more than 110,000 have died. while ukraine has borne the brunt of the war, russian towns have also been shelled and hundreds of thousands of men drafted into the army. this was the picture back in february 2022 — russia held crimea, which it had annexed in 201a, and russian—backed separatists held a small section

in the south—east of ukraine. now, most of the south and east of the country is occupied by russian forces. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, has been looking at how the war has changed the country and the people. they are two years that have changed russia and set the country on a darker path. two years of war and heavy casualties, mobilisation and mutiny, and repression — alexei navalny, dead in prison. but the president is looking confident. vladimir putin senses the tide may be turning in his favour. but what is his goal? he wants the world to live on his own terms. i don't think that he wants some kind of a takeover of poland

or the baltic states or western europe. he needs ukraine, but this is not enough for him. what is enough for him? this world must accept his rules, must accept his vision of the world. how things have changed. there was a time when russia and the west were talking about cooperation, partnership. the putin i met with did good business. we established the nato—russia council, which is very, very different from this almost megalomaniac at the present moment. so the man who stood beside me in may of 2002, right beside me and said, ukraine is a sovereign, independent nation state, which will make its own decisions about security, is now the man who says that it is not a nation state, and it has got to be wiped off the face of the earth. vladimir putin once said to me

at a press conference that russia was squeaky clean. nothing's changed. the kremlin continues to claim that none of what's happening today is russia's fault, that it was the west that started this war. but two years ago, it wasn't the west that invaded ukraine. that was russia. and how does the russian public see things? this is the town of sonic nagorski, sunny hills near moscow. the last two years of russia's history. it's all here in the park. the invasion of ukraine. these russian soldiers were killed there. they're portrayed as heroes. graffiti for the varna paramilitary group. and flowers. just a few in memory of alexei navalny. for the residents of sunny hills, in two years, life has changed our factories are making things now that we used to buy abroad, and that's good, lydia says.

but i'm sad for the young men, for everyone who've been killed. marina praises russian soldiers in ukraine, and admits she lives in fear her own son may be called up to fight. we need peace, she says, so that we don't have to fear what tomorrow will bring. and these two years have changed the war memorial on the town square. there's a whole new section, dozens of names of local men killed in what the kremlin still calls a special operation, not a war. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. 19 people have been arrested in germany in connection with smuggling gangs who are involved in helping large numbers of migrants cross the english channel from france in small boats. a series of raids in germany revealed stores of inflatable boats, life jackets and floatation devices for children, as well as

thousands of euros in cash. let's speak to nick beake, who's live in brussels. nick, what more can you tell us? the eu law enforcement agency is hailing this as a major success, say they have dismantled a prolific people smuggling gang that was bringing people across the english channel to the uk. 19 people were arrested in germany and authorities are saying they include major figures within this gang, which was a kurdish iraq a gang which predominate but people in the middle east and east africa to the uk. we are told a lot of the boats originally came from china and made their way to turkey and from there they got into the eu, also some of they got into the eu, also some of the facts and figures involved, this gang was set to charge people up to £2500 for a spot on these flimsy boats, designed for about ten people but around 50 people typically per crossing would be crammed inside and

a thug life jackets, including 81 devices for children specifically, which tells its own story. the war between israel and hamas has also had an impact on a fractious by—election taking place next week in rochdale. the seat was held by labour before the death of its mp. but the candidate standing for labour next thursday was suspended from the party, following allegedly anti—semitic comments he made about the october 7th attack on israel. that suspension has opened up the race for the seat. our political editor, chris mason, reports from rochdale. just north of manchester, a town with a bleak history — the serial sexual exploitation of children. deprivation, poverty, and reality for many here, too. and now, a bizarre by—election. this is rochdale. and this man's hat is in the room, in the ring. one of two former labour mps in this

contest, george galloway. i will enter the chamber of the house of commons like a tornado and i will shake the walls for gaza. a substantial chunk of the population here are muslim, many of whom are particularly concerned at what is happening in gaza. what do you say to those critics, you know they are there, who say, george galloway, he turns up at by—elections and stirs things up in towns that he has just arrived in? i feel myjob is to give people a voice that don't have a voice. i think you will find people have responded in large numbers to our message. another man wielding leaflets and persuasion, simon danczuk, he was the mp here until 2017. labour suspended him after a row about his personal conduct. you were caught up in that row about lewd texts to a 17—year—old girl, why would rochdale want you back? the reality is that it is lots of tabloid nonsense. people see through that.

the truth of it, the crux of it was true though, wasn't it? you apologised for it. let's be clear about it. it's tabloid nonsense, everyone has moved on from it. galloway is a chancer and i am the best candidate to beat him. so it is a two horse race. i am putting rochdale first and he is putting gaza first. the next twist here... this says rather a lot, doesn't it? a by—election is imminent, and at labour h0, the shutters are down. if you want a strong voice for - rochdale and a change for britain... the thing is, it will say labour next to azhar ali on the ballot paper, but the party have disowned him over allegedly anti—semitic remarks for which he has apologised. he wouldn't give us an interview. the green party has disowned their candidate as well. next, the conservatives. we have a great local candidate. i think he was mr rochdale a few years ago. he does a lot of voluntary work in the area, a landscape gardener. i'm not sure that any of the other candidates

are as local as our candidate. the thing is mr rochdale is not actually in rochdale, is he? he's actually on holiday at the moment, what does that say about the conservative campaign? all her team are around, knocking on doors, getting our message out there, delivering leaflets, talkin about issues amongst local people and that does not stop. the liberal democrats used to win here, they held the seat from 2005—2010. the local area needs a lot of work, needs a lot of change and we are the only major party in this that has skin in the game that actually wants to get the change people need. one chapjust said to me, this is clown town, welcome to the circus. it was a real sense from polk here that this constituency, rochdale and the surrounding communities, is crying out for leadership, crying out to be cared for, yet, particularly from the biggest political parties, it is simply not getting that. a messy contest unlike any other.

people here will choose their next mp a week today. chris mason, bbc news in rochdale. there are 11 candidates standing in the rochdale by—election. they will appear on the ballot paper in a week's time. in a few hours' time, a privately—owned spacecraft is on course to make history as it attempts to land on the moon. if its successful the odysseus would become the first commercial craft to land on the lunar surface, and the first american vessel to do so since the final apollo mission more than 50 years ago. scientists have worked out how some of the largest whales in the ocean produce their haunting songs. our science correspondent victoria gill reports. the haunting sound of the humpback whale, when this reverberated

through ships' hulls sales you to think it was mythical sea creatures and not a study has revealed how some of the ocean bottom of the largest whales sing underwater. the researchers studied three dead whales that have been found stranded and removed and examined their voice boxes. this strange footage, captured by the scientists with a tiny medical camera, is filmed inside the vibrating vocal anatomy of a whale. you pumped air through these focal structures and what did that show? it these focal structures and what did that show? , ., , ., that show? it showed something in wales but it _ that show? it showed something in wales but it was _ that show? it showed something in wales but it was also _ that show? it showed something in wales but it was also in _ that show? it showed something in wales but it was also in a - that show? it showed something in wales but it was also in a very - wales but it was also in a very unique way, so they exhale air from their lungs, past the larynx, then it gets collected in a sack here and then when they are done with vocalisation, it contracts and goes back into your lungs. that vocalisation, it contracts and goes back into your lungs.— back into your lungs. that air recycling _ back into your lungs. that air recycling is — back into your lungs. that air recycling is unique _ back into your lungs. that air recycling is unique to - back into your lungs. that air recycling is unique to these i back into your lungs. that air - recycling is unique to these baleen whales and means they can sing while

this picture says it all. a happy springer spaniel, but i'm sure the owner probably doesn't think so, having to walk through scenes like this, very waterlogged underfoot at the moment, a lot of heavy rain once again moving its way across the country. let's look at that in more detail step started to clear away to link it to east anglia and east england, a scattering of showers following on behind and turning increasingly wintry. that's because, as that front cleared south and east, you would directions sponsored to north—westerly, driving in cooler air across the country. it brought a light dusting of snow to higher ground in scotland, a beautiful scene with sunny spells. there is a risk of further snow showers for higher ground overnight mode, chiefly in scotland, but we might see if you across the pennines later, some shout out to the west. clear skies elsewhere, which allows temperatures to pull away to low single figures, something we haven't

seen for some time, so that could be a shock to the system first thing tomorrow. hopefully it will be accompanied by some sunshine. we will still continue to see some showers, a blustery friday, showers most frequent to the west but some of us will dodge them and stay dry. a fresher, cooler field of us will dodge them and stay dry. a fresher, coolerfield but, if we lose that relentless rain, we will be happy with that. a further risk of some showers in the south and then, the second half of the weekend, this error of low pressure moves in for the position of that could be a bit further north so, in southern england, you might need to keep watching the forecast for sunday. on the whole, the best sunshine will be further north, more rain in the south—west, and a cooler, fresher feel continues. thanks, louise. and that's the bbc news at six. now, it's time to join our colleagues for
