hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. i have a duty of care that i will carry out to protect people. it is the protection that led me to make a wrong decision. it is in the interests of the british people that democracy is protected. as i said, the interests of the labour party are trumping democracy. we should never let extremists intimidate us into changing the way in which parliament works. parliament is an important place for us to have these debates and just because some people may want to stifle that with intimidation or aggressive behaviour, we should not depend to that. he still has a big reserve of good will towards him. there are no labour or liberal democrat mps who are questioning his position. lots of conservatives are still saying that they have confidence in him.

there's drama in the house of commons once again as the number of mps who say they have no confidence in the speaker contains to rise. we will be asking whether sir lindsay hoyle can stay in post and will be looking at the increasing threats and pressure mps face from constituents. in alabama, the real life consequences of a court ruling as the state's largest hospital pauses all ivf procedures for fear of prosecution. at half past, it's ai decoded — our weekly look at the latest in the world of artificial intelligence. this week, will ai wipe out humanity? is a universal kill switch needed to prevent an ai apocalypse? and how the technology is being used to decipher scrolls carbonised when mount vesuvius erupted 2,000 years ago.

and as if that's not enough, there's another mission to the moon due to land in the next couple of hours. we'll look at the latest contender in the space race. all those stories are coming up, but first some breaking news. spanish firefighters are battling a huge fire in a multi—storey residential block in the eastern port city of valencia. 22 teams of firefighters battling high winds to tackle the fire, according to emergency services. these are dramatic pictures we have had in that show people on the balconies waiting to be rescued. it is being hosed by the emergency services to try to keep the fire at bay. these are the live pictures from the scene in valencia.

let's go to our corresponent guy hedgecoe. very dramatic pictures. what do we know first of all but any people who may be trapped or injured to? we may be trapped or in'ured to? we have may be trapped or injured to? - have been told that at least seven people have been injured and have been taken to hospital. some of those are firefighters, we are told. at least one child, a nine—year—old child, was among the injured taken to hospital and those injuries were caused by burns and inhalation of smoke. that's what we have been told so far. obviously the fear is that the number of those injured or possibly killed could be much higher than that. the local police have set “p than that. the local police have set up a helpline for local people in case they are worried about loved ones or friends who might live case they are worried about loved ones orfriends who might live in the building, and a makeshift hospital has been set up just next

to the building as well, so we have those seven people confirmed to have gone to hospital but the fear is the true number could end up being a lot more than that. we true number could end up being a lot more than that.— more than that. we are looking at those live pictures _ more than that. we are looking at those live pictures and _ more than that. we are looking at those live pictures and they - more than that. we are looking at those live pictures and they are i those live pictures and they are incredibly dramatic. what we know about the building, a residential building? 1a stories high, to we know anything about the how the fire started or how quickly it spread? we started or how quickly it spread? - know the alert was raised in mid—afternoon around 5:30pm and the police were made aware of the fire. the fire services made their way to try and put it out. we believe the fire began in one of the lower floors, either the fourth or fifth according to reports but then spread extremely rapidly to almost the entire rest of the building as you can see from those pictures. basically the whole building has gone up in flames. we don't know the

cause of it, there was an expert speaking to local media who say it might have something to do with the cladding of the building and that cladding of the building and that cladding can cause fires to spread quickly but we really don't know yet what the cause would be. find quickly but we really don't know yet what the cause would be.— quickly but we really don't know yet what the cause would be. and 'ust to reiterate because i what the cause would be. and 'ust to reiterate because looking h what the cause would be. and 'ust to reiterate because looking at h what the cause would be. and just to reiterate because looking at those i reiterate because looking at those pictures it seems almost incredible that there wouldn't be any fatalities but that picture is not clear at the moment? h0. fatalities but that picture is not clear at the moment?- fatalities but that picture is not clear at the moment? no, we don't know that yet- _ clear at the moment? no, we don't know that yet. obviously _ clear at the moment? no, we don't know that yet. obviously the - clear at the moment? no, we don't know that yet. obviously the fear . clear at the moment? no, we don't know that yet. obviously the fear is that there will be fatalities when you look at those pictures but for now at least, all we have heard about r seven people who have been taken to hospital. we about r seven people who have been taken to hospital.— taken to hospital. we will leave it there but returned _ taken to hospital. we will leave it there but returned to _ taken to hospital. we will leave it there but returned to you - taken to hospital. we will leave it there but returned to you if - taken to hospital. we will leave it there but returned to you if there | there but returned to you if there are any further developments in that story, as we are seeing a really huge fire at a residential apartment block in valencia. and clearly the work to put it out still ongoing and

investigations into how it started and also as you are hearing from guy, waiting to hear of any fatalities, and no reports but certainly seven people injured as far as the emergency services are saying. we will leave it there and return if there is any more news. another story this evening developing, pictures have emerged from the white house showing that president biden has met with alexei navalny�*s wife and daughter in san francisco. the white house says he expressed his admiration for alexei navalny�*s extraordinary courage and his legacy are fighting against corruption. it comes as the mother of the late russian opposition leader says she has finally seen his body nearly a week after officials said he died in an arctic present. in the video she said investigators

secretly took her to a morgue on wednesday night where she was presented with a death certificate which she signed. the team have since said the document states he died of natural causes. his mother accuses officials are breaking the law by holding onto the body for nearly a week. they say they hatched a plan to bury him in secret without more nervous and only then take him to his grave. let's turn our attention to westminster, and a story that has been holding the headlines for the last 2a hours or so. the speaker of the house of commons is facing mounting pressure to quit over his handling of a vote on gaza. sir lindsay hoyle on wednesday departed from convention to allow politicians a vote on an opposition party amendment calling for a ceasefire in the israel—gaza war during a debate allocated to another party. he justified his decision saying he had allowed the vote to give mps

the chance to vote on a wider range of positions and to protect them from threats to their safety. all day, mps have been signing a motion of no confidence in the speaker. as you can see, the tally currently stands at 67. several conservative mps have also questioned his decision to allow the motion on safety grounds, arguing sir lindsay hoyle had allowed parliament to be intimidated by threats of violence. whether over social media, e—mail or even in person, personal threats sometimes of extreme violence have become almost routine against some mps. and it is this duty of care that the speaker said influenced his decision to act as he did. let's bring in the labour mp barry sheerman. thank you forjoining us on the

context. this is an issue you know all about and have yourself been on the receiving end of threats and intimidating behaviour. ijust wonder how many of i just wonder how many of your colleagues do you think are experiencing the same? i colleagues do you think are experiencing the same? i think it is uuite experiencing the same? i think it is quite common _ experiencing the same? i think it is quite common but _ experiencing the same? i think it is quite common but can _ experiencing the same? i think it is quite common but can i _ experiencing the same? i think it is quite common but can i first - experiencing the same? i think it is quite common but can i first say . quite common but can i first say that lindsay hoyle, i am serving mp on the opposition benches and i have never seen a better than lindsay hoyle and he has been amazingly supportive of me and other members of the house who have run into trouble with threats and had real trouble with threats and had real trouble in terms of the kind of hate they get on social media, and the threats that they may have. he is the best speaker in my experience and i do hope common sense will prevail and this nonsense of a no—confidence vote will go away. we no-confidence vote will go away. we are no—confidence vote will go away. we are aware of violence against mps,

are aware of violence against mp5, of course the murders ofjo cox and david amis, but is the level of intimidation getting worse? i david amis, but is the level of intimidation getting worse? i think it is. when intimidation getting worse? i think it is- when i _ intimidation getting worse? i think it is. when i was _ intimidation getting worse? i think it is. when i was a _ intimidation getting worse? i think it is. when i was a very _ intimidation getting worse? i think it is. when i was a very young - intimidation getting worse? i think it is. when i was a very young mp, j it is. when i was a very young mp, certain people would write a letter in green ink and you would say, yes. and when we got social media we would get e—mails in the middle of the night, and we were used to that, but now the intensity of social media allows people, very often anonymously, to track you and to threaten you. in my own case, about 18 months ago i was threatened by somebody saying he was going to come down from yorkshire and sort me out and he hoped the people at the palace were still armed. i was very worried, i have a wife and four children and 13 grandchildren, the

last thing in the world i wanted was the thought there is somebody out there wishing to do me harm. the gentleman did come down, he was caught on camera and arrested at king's cross but he was sanctioned. if you months later he came out and if you months later he came out and i was summoned to the house of commons and told that he was out, he was in london and knew where i live. it was only lindsay hoyle who put things in motion to say that isn't good enough, and if you look over my shoulder, you will see a screen. the whole house is covered in cameras. my whole house is covered in cameras. my next—door neighbour, jo cox, was murdered a strange man, and so to have the thought every day that you

are going into the house of commons on a different layer coming back a different way and trying to wear a hat that doesn't suggest you are an mp and you don't stand near the edge of the tube or the edge of the station. a great deal of thought has to go into how we better protect members of parliament and i know lindsay hoyle, it has been uppermost in his mind and i am sure that one of the reasons he tried so hard to please everyone, and he got something wrong. he has confessed he got it wrong but behind the scenes thatis got it wrong but behind the scenes that is the most caring speaker i have ever met and he certainly looked after me.— have ever met and he certainly looked after me. you have certainly uiven him looked after me. you have certainly given him your _ looked after me. you have certainly given him your support _ looked after me. you have certainly given him your support very - given him your support very publicly. you have heard the mp5 arguing that because mps are suffering these threats and intimidation yesterday it was a good chance for the house of commons to

say, that is not going to stop the debate happening. you say, that is not going to stop the debate happening.— say, that is not going to stop the debate happening. you do realise, i haven't seen _ debate happening. you do realise, i haven't seen anything _ debate happening. you do realise, i haven't seen anything like - debate happening. you do realise, i haven't seen anything like that - debate happening. you do realise, i haven't seen anything like that for l haven't seen anything like that for very many years. it didn't do the house of commons much good, the kind of scenes. but a very frenetic atmosphere now, we are coming to the next election and it looks like the snp are going to be wiped out, it looks like half the conservatives are going to be wiped out. they were i think that night planning to make a diversion. i think we shouldn't be filled that the antics that went on the other night. i am very worried that parliament is being discredited by people who wanted to take attention from the realjob of politics, holding the government to account. ., ., ., , ., , account. you have made your views ve clear account. you have made your views very clear and _ account. you have made your views very clear and we _ account. you have made your views very clear and we appreciate - account. you have made your views very clear and we appreciate your i very clear and we appreciate your time, thank you forjoining us. some new developments in the israel gaza

war. the israeli government has decided to send a delegation to paris for talks tomorrow with representatives of egypt, qatar and the united states. let's go live to our correspondent paul adams. i know this news has just been our correspondent paul adams. i know this news hasjust been reported our correspondent paul adams. i know this news has just been reported so tell us what we know. this this news hasjust been reported so tell us what we know.— tell us what we know. this was the result of a — tell us what we know. this was the result of a cabinet _ tell us what we know. this was the result of a cabinet meeting - tell us what we know. this was the result of a cabinet meeting this - result of a cabinet meeting this evening here in israel at which the government decided that it would send a high—level delegation to paris for talks tomorrow. there had been considerable uncertainty as to whether or not israel was willing to re—engage in the process. last week when there were talks held in egypt, prime minister netanyahu declined to send a delegation. at that point he was describing hamas's conditions for a ceasefire and hostage deal as

delusional. something has changed since then. the us middle east envoy was here in israel today and is understood to have told mr netanyahu that hamas's position has softened. we did not know the extent or details of that softening but clearly the government heard enough today to believe it is worth sending the mossad boss and other top security chiefs to paris for those talks. that is a small sign of the possibility that these talks could yield something. this comes on top of remarks yesterday by a senior member of netanyahu's government suggesting there are cautious signs of progress. i don't think we should get ahead of ourselves. there is no sense of a deal being imminent, but clearly the americans are pressing extremely hard. they have made it

plain that they want to see a deal in place before the start of ramadan and that is unless than weeks' time. just to reiterate, the israeli government has decided to send a delegation to paris for talks tomorrow with representatives of egypt, qatar and the united states. more as we get it. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. companies have been told they should make workplace adjustments for women going through the menopause, including relaxing uniform policies and offering working from home on warm days. the equality and human rights commission guidance also states that using language that ridicules someone because of their menopausal symptoms could be harassment. an inquest has heard that a grandmother attacked by xl bully dogs died from a bite wound to her upper right limb. 68—year—old esther martin was visiting her grandson at a house near clacton—on—sea in essex, when she was injured earlier this month.

an inquest opening in chelmsford was told police found her with "unsurvivable injuries". epilepsy charities are warning that ongoing shortages in the supply of life—saving medication are putting patients at a higher risk of seizures. they say many more people are calling their helplines after struggling to get hold of the drugs they need. industry experts say there are also problems with the supply of many other medicines. you're live with bbc news. thank you forjoining us here. this saturday marks two years since the 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.

we can speak to the vice president of the centre for information resilience. thank you forjoining us on the context. it has been two years and we have seen many reports about the effect of two years of war on ukraine. from your knowledge and contacts, how much has rother changed over the last two years? certainly russia has become more steadfast in its deliberate destruction of ukraine. we have seen russia's vast propaganda machine spinning out story after story of how this is a just war, how the killing and maiming of innocent civilians including children is just, somehow. excusing what i would say are war crimes that russia and its trips have committed, and

unfortunately we have seen president putin increase his grip, his strong hold on power, especially with the murder of alexei navalny over the weekend in the russian prison camp. what does that say about putin's position at the moment? is it a sign of putin's weakness that alexei navalny is alleged to have been killed by vladimir putin to city sign of his strength, of taking out a rival? i sign of his strength, of taking out a rival? ~ , . ., , a rival? i think it is certainly sendin: a rival? i think it is certainly sending a — a rival? i think it is certainly sending a message - a rival? i think it is certainly sending a message to - a rival? i think it is certainly i sending a message to anyone a rival? i think it is certainly - sending a message to anyone who might question vladimir putin. this is a country in which you can be jailed for liking something on social media are posting something, you can be jailed for simple protest actions, so when you go as far as alexei navalny did to challenge putin directly, to challenge the system and expose corruption this, the consequences according to putin are going to be pretty severe. so ordinary russians, who have not been

involved in politics, are going to think twice before they attend protest actions, even those commemorating alexei navalny. we have seen hundreds arrested for simply going out to commemorate his life. �* , ., ., life. and in terms of vladimir putin and his relationship _ life. and in terms of vladimir putin and his relationship with _ life. and in terms of vladimir putin and his relationship with the - life. and in terms of vladimir putin and his relationship with the rest i and his relationship with the rest of the world, does he have reason to feel confident two years on from the invasion of ukraine as to how that military action is progressing? just this week the ukrainian army had to give up a strategic stronghold which they had held for a little over a year because they are running out of ammunition and running out of ammunition and running out of ammunition in part because of the united states congress in action and unwillingness to pass a ukraine aid bill. so i think putin sees the very strong and robust coalition that had supported ukraine over the last two years beginning to fray and he sees domestic grievances and

vulnerabilities that he can wheedle act, which is exactly what russia is extremely practised and skilled at it and i think we are going to continue to see that until hopefully congress does come through and pass this aid package. congress does come through and pass this aid package-— this aid package. really good to talk to you. _ this aid package. really good to talk to you, thank _ this aid package. really good to talk to you, thank you _ this aid package. really good to talk to you, thank you for - this aid package. really good to | talk to you, thank you forjoining us. a privately—owned spacecraft is on course to make history as it attempts to land on the moon. if it's 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. let's speak to our science correspondentjonathan amos. jonathan, always good to talk to you. there have been a lot of space missions over the last few months. what is particularly significant about this one and where are we? i know the landing was pulled back, maybe in the next hour but then

pulled back again. we maybe in the next hour but then pulled back again.— maybe in the next hour but then pulled back again. we are back and forth a little _ pulled back again. we are back and forth a little bit — pulled back again. we are back and forth a little bit this _ pulled back again. we are back and forth a little bit this evening. - forth a little bit this evening. currently the projected time is 2324, so about three hours from now, so that they are making doubly sure that they have this craft in the right order to begin the descent to the moon. that will start in about an hour and a quarter before the projected touchdown time. there is a lot riding on this and as you have alluded to, this is an attempt to make the first commercial landing on the moon, a private company, so although it is carrying six nasa instruments, intuitive machines, a houston —based company, is in charge. it bought the land around rocket, mission controllers in houston and it is in charge all the way there. nasa is a customer and has paid them $118 million to get

its instruments to the south pole, but of course we haven't seen the americans in any guise, whether commercial or government backed, put down on the lunar surface softly since apollo 17. quite extraordinarily. they left the moon in 1972, december1972, extraordinarily. they left the moon in 1972, december 1972, to come home, and the americans have not been back since so quite a bit riding on this.— been back since so quite a bit riding on this. and what is the significance? _ riding on this. and what is the significance? what _ riding on this. and what is the significance? what are - riding on this. and what is the significance? what are they i riding on this. and what is the - significance? what are they hoping to show or to explore on this mission?— to show or to explore on this mission? ~ , , , to show or to explore on this mission? ~' , , , ., mission? the key thing is they are auoin mission? the key thing is they are going towards _ mission? the key thing is they are going towards the _ mission? the key thing is they are going towards the south _ mission? the key thing is they are going towards the south pole, - mission? the key thing is they are going towards the south pole, sol going towards the south pole, so about 80 degrees south. nobody has put anything down that far south before. we heard the indians had a fantastic landing august last year, they went to about 69 degrees south, but this will be the furthest south anybody has been, and it is a really

interesting part of the moon. really rough with a lot of mountains but there are creators that are permanently shallow. —— shadowed. sunlight has not fallen in hundreds of millions of years, may billions of millions of years, may billions of years. at the bottom of those creators may be a water ice and if we are going to go back to the moon with humans, they may want some resources and water ice could be the best resources they have because you can use that for drinking, sanitation, you can split the water to make breathable oxygen and even make rocket fuel, so this is part of the big return to the moon, the human return to the moon that we are expecting this decade.— expecting this decade. extraordinary to think the americans _ expecting this decade. extraordinary to think the americans have - expecting this decade. extraordinary to think the americans have not - expecting this decade. extraordinary | to think the americans have not been to think the americans have not been to the moon since 1972. to think the americans have not been to the moon since1972. once again, due to land, how long? what should be be looking out for and does

everybody able to keep across what is happening?— is happening? intuitive machines brou:ht is happening? intuitive machines brought the _ is happening? intuitive machines brought the landing _ is happening? intuitive machines brought the landing time - is happening? intuitive machinesj brought the landing time forward is happening? intuitive machines - brought the landing time forward and then pushed it back. they didn't explain why. maybe they wanted to cross the teas before they went for this effort because once they start the descent they really have to go with it and it is going to be knuckle time. it is not easy to land on the moon and half of attempts fail and even if you consider to modern era of the century, we have had 11 attempts this century and six of those have failed, so it is tough. of those have failed, so it is tou~h. , . , of those have failed, so it is tou~h. ,. ,, ., of those have failed, so it is tou~h. _ ,, ., tough. fingers crossed, i know you will be watching _ tough. fingers crossed, i know you will be watching it _ tough. fingers crossed, i know you will be watching it intently - tough. fingers crossed, i know you will be watching it intently and - tough. fingers crossed, i know you will be watching it intently and be i will be watching it intently and be able to bring us all the expert analysis of how it is going. thank you for keeping us up—to—date on this so far. after the break we will be talking everything about artificial intelligence so do stay with us for that.

hello there. well, during the day today, we've seen much colder weather move in from the west. we've swapped the mild south—westerly winds that we've seen over recent weeks, really, and swapped them with much colder north—westerly winds. hence the drop in temperatures. it's even been cold enough to see some snow return to the scottish mountains. that's not something we've seen very much of over recent weeks. the drop in temperatures, then, has been widespread and really sharp. yesterday, you might remember, rhyl was the warmest place in the country at 15 degrees. this afternoon's temperature has been hovering more around 7 celsius, really. the radar picture still picks up a band of rain clearing its way eastwards and we've got plenty of showers working into western areas of the uk, with those north—westerly winds feeding the showers in. so, during this evening and overnight, showers will continue to come and go across western areas. cold enough for some snow up over the scottish mountains — above 400 metres elevation, for the most part.

the winds keep the frost at bay for many areas, but where we do see the winds fall that bit lighter, particularly in parts of scotland, well, there will be some areas of frost. aberdeen getting down to —4. so a cold start to the day on friday, certainly a lot colder a morning that we've been used to for a good while now. plenty of sunshine for eastern scotland, central and eastern england, eastern wales and eastern counties of northern ireland to start the day. showers get going in the west quickly and the showers become widespread through the course of the day, some of them with a bit of hail and thunder mixed in, and cold enough for some snow up over the scottish mountains — again, mostly above 400 metres elevation. for the weekend, well, there's probably a drier picture overall, fewer showers around. still a risk of some showers, though, probably the greatest risk across southern counties of england. a few morning mist patches, quite a widespread frost, and then through the afternoon, in the sunshine, we're looking at temperatures of around 8 or 9 degrees celsius, which is quite close to average for the time of year. showers return to northern ireland during the second half of the weekend. some of those could be quite heavy.

maybe a few showers for northern scotland, but otherwise a lot of dry weather. this low pressure gets quite close to southern—most counties of england, so it could turn wet and windy towards the far south coast. otherwise, plenty of sunshine around and temperatures of around 8 or 9 again. now, beyond that, monday looks like being a dry day. a ridge of high pressure moves in, but then we see rain returning from tuesday.

hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. the trial of the armour on the set of rust where actor alec baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer has begun. we will be talking everything to do with artificial intelligence very shortly but before all that, time for a full round—up of the sport. sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. fast bowler ollie robinson is back in the england side for the first time since the third ashes test last summer. he's one of two changes for the fourth test against india, which starts in ranchi on friday. robinson comes in for mark wood,

while off spinner shoaib bashir is recalled for leg spinner rehan ahmed.
