and coming up on bbc news — real madrid and their all—new futuristic bernabeu host a champions league classic tonight against bayern munich, with a place in the final at stake. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. another conservative mp has defected to labour, the second in less than two weeks. natalie elphicke, the mp for dover, said the conservatives under rishi sunak "have become a byword for incompetence and division". she made the movejust minutes before the prime minister faced mps in the commons at prime minister's questions for the first time since suffering heavy defeats in local elections in england. here's our political editor chris mason. natalie elphicke, shoulder to

shoulder with the prime minister when rishi sunak invited reporters to dover last summer to talk about stopping the boats. less than a year later, she has stopped being a conservative mp. look at the leader she's appearing with now. i must when admit, i got up this morning i didn't expect to hear this today. natalie elphicke, the labour member of parliament for dover and deal. i think she speaks for many tory voters — think she speaks for many tory voters in — think she speaks for many tory voters in saying the tory party has changed. — voters in saying the tory party has changed. it — voters in saying the tory party has changed, it has left the centre ground~ — changed, it has left the centre ground. but equally the labour party has changed and we are very clearly the party— has changed and we are very clearly the party of— has changed and we are very clearly the party of the national interest, of the _ the party of the national interest, of the country first, party second. realty _ of the country first, party second. really good day. it of the country first, party second. really good day-— of the country first, party second. really good day. it has been a great da . cue really good day. it has been a great day- cue the — really good day. it has been a great day. cue the mildly _ really good day. it has been a great day. cue the mildly awkward - really good day. it has been a great day. cue the mildly awkward first i day. cue the mildly awkward first date for the _ day. cue the mildly awkward first date for the cameras _ day. cue the mildly awkward first date for the cameras in _ day. cue the mildly awkward first date for the cameras in tow - day. cue the mildly awkward first date for the cameras in tow vibes ahead of her criticism of their prime minister. he ahead of her criticism of their prime minister.— prime minister. he is not stopping the boats and _ prime minister. he is not stopping the boats and he _ prime minister. he is not stopping the boats and he is _ prime minister. he is not stopping the boats and he is letting - prime minister. he is not stopping the boats and he is letting the - the boats and he is letting the country down. meanwhile under labour they are clear that it is important to have defence and they want to

yes, you'd be forgiven for thinking folk here swap parties all the time given the last couple of weeks actually, if you go back a couple of years, a chap called christian wakeford years, a chap called christian wa keford swap from years, a chap called christian wakeford swap from the conservatives to labour. before that you have to go back 27 years to find an mp who left the governing party and went to the main party of opposition. and defections always mesmerise a deeply tribal westminster. defections always mesmerise a deeply tribalwestminster. but defections always mesmerise a deeply tribal westminster. but the curiosity with this one is that it's almost equal opportunities and it's discombobulating for conservative mps and labour mps. conservative mps, as you saw there, delighting the fact as they see it that natalie elphicke is to the right of them, even though she is now a labour mp. actually, you can argue that her politics is a bit more nuanced than that. but also an additional detail, remarks that she made in an interview after the conviction of her ex—husband, in which she said that him being attractive and

attracted to women had made him an easy target. she has not commented on those remarks today. labour has said all of those issues were dealt with previously. studio: chris mason, thank you. over the past year, the world's oceans have broken temperature records because of climate change — that's according to bbc analysis. and it has had a major impact on marine life around the world. figures from the eu climate service copernicus also show that last month was the warmest april on record. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, reports. the menai bridge between north wales and the island of anglesey. scientists have been monitoring the plants and animals on the sea shore here for almost 70 years. it's invaluable and it tells us so much about where species were, how quickly they've moved. they've been going back to the same places all around the uk creating a unique record of the changing populations on our country's rocky coasts. in that time, sea temperatures around this country have warmed

by an average of about one degree celsius. the big thing that i've seen is species aren't all moving at the same rate — so things are moving further north, but not at the same speed. so, all the community compositions are changing everywhere because different species are moving at different rates. some creatures can't move at all — like barnacles. so, nova, this is a really disruptive process for ecosystems? i think if i was a barnacle, i'd be quite worried, yes! if one species vanishes or a new one comes in, it can affect all the other plants and animals in the system. at aberystwyth university, scientists track the changes with the same technology the police use at crime scenes. i think we're going to put this down about five metres. the researchers collect the traces of dna animals leave in the water.

it is known as edna — environmental dna. it's possible to use edna to track the movement of invasive species. there is a japanese species of sea squirt. it's called a carpet sea squirt. they form a blanket, a carpet, if you like, over the sea bed. they prevent the growth of native organisms in the areas that they colonise. because they do so well in our environment, they can potentially take over huge areas of the sea bed. what we are finding is that the ones that are more invasive appear to be responding more strongly to global warming and increasing water temperatures. it is evidence ofjust how fragile some of our marine ecosystems are and stands as a warning that as our seas continue to warm, we can expect unpredictable changes in the marine life of the uk. justin rowlatt, bbc news, aberystwyth.

prince harry has attended a thanksgiving service at st paul's cathedral in london this afternoon to celebrate the tenth anniversary of his invictus games. just two miles away, the king and queen were hosting the first of this year's garden parties at buckingham palace. our royal correspondent sarah campbelljoins us from st paul's this evening. it seems there will be no reunion between father and son.- between father and son. that's right will stop the — between father and son. that's right will stop the service _ between father and son. that's right will stop the service is _ between father and son. that's right will stop the service is now - between father and son. that's right will stop the service is now over - between father and son. that's right will stop the service is now over as l will stop the service is now over as you can tell from the sound of the bells will stop prince harry are still inside. you can probably see the crowd hoping for a glimpse of him on the way out. he arrived a few minutes before the service started at five o'clock and he was cheered by crowds that had gradually built up by crowds that had gradually built up through the afternoon. welcomed at the top of the steps by the dean of st paul's. inside was a congregation who have come to know each other through the invictus games, which was of course founded by prince harry who wanted to do

something to help service men and women overcome their mental and physical traumas. women overcome their mental and physicaltraumas. inside women overcome their mental and physical traumas. inside to support him were members of his mother's family, his aunt, ladyjane fellowes, and his uncle, earl spencer. during the service prince harry gave a reading. the sermon was all about the power of rebuilding and also prayers were said for the next invictus which is in canada next invictus which is in canada next year. the first back in 2014, harry was flanked by both the king and prince william, but that wasn't the case here today. in fact, if you went across town to buckingham palace, the king was hosting the first garden party of season, was there with other senior members of there with other senior members of the royalfamily. harry's the royal family. harry's spokesperson the royalfamily. harry's spokesperson had made it known in advance that the king's full programme would mean the two would not be meeting. there has been no comment from buckingham palace. the next stop for prince harry is nigeria. this is one of the latest

the court heard that in order to be convicted of unlawful act manslaughter, an unlawful act needed to have taken place. but the three appeal courtjudges said that if celia ward had not have died it was inconceivable that auriol grey would have been convicted of assault. they therefore said they had no hesitation in ruling that the conviction was unsafe. in a statement, auriol grey's family said... in a case where one woman lost her life and another wrongly spent a year injail, there were no winners. jon donnison, bbc news, at the high court. astrazeneca's covid vaccine, that was developed by scientists in oxford, is being withdrawn globally. it was one of the first to be

produced during the pandemic. billions of doses were created. the company says the withdrawal decision is for commercial reasons. so what has changed? our health correspondent sophie hutchinson is here. thank you. well, the astrazeneca covid vaccine was one of the very first to be rolled out in january 2021. it had been developed at oxford university in record time — in ten months instead of the usual ten years. the then prime minister boris johnson described it as a "triumph for british science". it was cheaper and easier to store than otherjabs. globally, more than 3 billion doses were supplied, with nearly 50 million jabs given in the uk. and the vaccine is estimated to have saved millions of lives. but in a tiny number of cases it causes life—threatening blood clots. it's been linked to 81 deaths in the uk. the government has made vaccine damage payments to families and there are a number of ongoing court cases with people claiming

to have been harmed by the vaccine. most countries have now stopped using it and switched to other vaccines. today astrazeneca said there was no longer a demand for theirjab and that other vaccines which target the new variants of covid have superseded it. it said withdrawing the jab from the market was a commercial decision. sophie hutchinson, thank you. the time is 6:15. our top story this evening... a second conservative mp defected to labour within two weeks. natalie elphicke, the mp for dover, crossed to the labour benches moments before prime minister's questions. and still to come, we meet the 97—year—old woman finally recognised for her service during world war ii. coming up on bbc news — the olympic flame arrives in france after spending nearly two weeks at sea, in the face of heavy security in marseille, with tens of thousands expected for the ceremony before the torch makes its way to paris.

edinburgh for a grou edinburgh for p of parents who say social media played a part in their children's deaths have criticised new online saftey rules drawn up by the media regulator ofcom. the parents of 12—year—old archie battersbee, is—year—old breck bednar, 16—year—old brianna ghey and 14—year—old molly russell are among those who took part in a bbc breakfast debate this morning. social media companies face being named and shamed if they don't toughen up their age checks and do more to stop young people from seeing the most harmful content. but many of the parents say ofcom's new draft code lacks ambition. angus crawford reports. 11 young faces. 11 short lives. the online world playing a role in each of their deaths.

leaving behind them parents campaigning in their names so no other family has to go through what they have. and they have a simple message. sit up and listen to parents that have lost their children. it is a david and goliath situation. it's been quite painful and very frustrating as a parent. everyone here knows only too well how damaging the products of big tech can be. today, their chance to question the minister and the regulator and demand that they do more to rein in silicon valley. parents and young people and everyone here today is kind of counting on us. first, the chief executive of ofcom. how are you going to impose and verify their age? pretty much all the social media platforms have a minimum age of 13, but they're not doing enough to... they're not doing anything really at the moment to enforce that. we know that, i'm afraid 40% of 5 to 7 year olds currently are on social media. and i would say to any parents listening today,

it is a very risky environment for children of primary school age. 13 is still a child. 14 is still a child. 15 is still a child. yet many tech companies assume that if you're 15, that's ok. well, it clearly isn't ok for 13 to 17 year olds to be on social media today, given that it's not a safe environment for them. then a question for the minister. a question about suicide content on social media. why are they allowed i to publish this content? that's a really simple and really powerful question. under the act, they're not. my message here, sitting on your sofa today is that the tech companies don't need to wait for the full implementation of this bill. they can start now, and some of them already have, but they need to go further and faster to make the changes. they are waiting. _ how can we make them move? yeah. so i feel your frustration on this. and if we could fully implement the bill tomorrow, i'd be doing it. absolutely.

what we don't want to do is do it so fast that it has lots of loopholes or that they can easily litigate and it's chewed up in the courts for years. we want this to be robust. so i would like to see a phone which at point of purchase is set up and it's safe by design for children. what we've done is really big. it is groundbreaking. it's more than any other country in the world has done in this space. is it job done? absolutely not. so many really brave parents that have gone through so much horrendous, so, so many horrendous tragedies. and, yeah, i think that they should be proud of the strength and the solidarity as well. i suspect if they were still alive and seeing what we're doing, they'd be — they'd be really proud and they'd be cheering us on. 11 young voices may be stilled, but in the fight to protect other children, their parents will not be silenced. angus crawford, bbc news.

our social media correspondent marianna spring is here — she's been looking at how these new rules will work. is it possible to stop kids and teenagers being recommended harmful content on social media? ofcom wants to do just that by forcing social media companies to comply with stricter rules and if they don't, say they could face a ban for under—18s. the first step is dealing with age verification. when you sign up for a social media profile you are usually asked to give your birthday but without showing id. various proposals have included using selfies to identify your age or a passport or diving licence. but that can pose problems depending on where you live in the world and can kids get round it? then there's the problem of taming social media sites' algorithms. algorithms are the recommendation systems that promote content to us based on what they think we might like. there's evidence children have been actively pushed harmful content or become embroiled in social media frenzies.

social media insiders i've spoken to say it's very tricky to ensure one account isn't pushed a certain type of content when others can still be recommended it. algorithms are key to the social media companies' business model. media companies' business models. more eyeballs on more content means they make more money from ads. the social media companies all say, though, that they prioritise safety over profit. regardless — they're incredibly powerful. part of the problem is that the whole world uses these apps — they aren't limited to one place. plus, political and legal measures to change the way they operate can take ages. by the time they're in place, the social media world has usually evolved again. a healthcare agency is routinely charging nhs hospitals up to £2,000 a shift for specialist nurses supplied at short notice with a substantial amount of the fee being kept by the agency itself. independent clinical services —

which trades as thornbury nursing services — had a turnover of almost £400 million in its latest accounts. that's up almost 46% in a year — much more than similar firms. the company has told the bbc that it offers a valuable and flexible service that helps healthcare providers, and thornbury accounts for less than half of its business. our health editor, hugh pym, has more. there you go. the vital role of caring for sick children, here by skilled and experienced nhs nurses. but in some areas they are in short supply. hospitals need to turn to staffing agencies to fill gaps and ensure safe staffing levels. this west midlands hospital boss says agency bills are getting out of hand. there is an agreed deal capping costs for all freelance nurses, but agencies are allowed to charge more for last—minute requests which are often unavoidable. he is most critical of this one,

thornbury, which has promotional videos featuring nurses. thornbury allowed me to drop my hours to part—time. i can pick shifts whenever i want to. and i wanted something that i've got control when i can work and i can- spend some time with family. i'm sure they would say they are an agency of last resort and they are providing a service, but if that's created a bigger problem by pulling nurses away from the nhs then that's certainly profiteering and we wouldn't be having this conversation if they were able to operate at the framework rates that the nhs has set, which is a reasonable rate for agency work. they might argue that it's a free market and nobody has to use them and they are providing a service. that's fine. i think the response to that is that because of that extreme cost we ought to be finding better solutions to spend public money on. one former agency nurse who wants to remain anonymous remembers her shifts working for thornbury.

i've taken a call at 5:30am to travel a couple of hours to a trust, to arrive just after their start time. from other people that i've worked with within thornbury, i've had nurses travelling down from the midlands, down to trusts that are below the london area. so, what are the costs and charges? well, for a specialist paediatric nurse on a 12—hour friday shift, our calculations show that thornbury pays that nurse £539. but the hospital trust is charged almost £1,000. that's £400 difference per shift. and for a bank holiday shift, the nurse is paid £1,050, but the trust is charged around £1,840. that's a difference of around £800. thornbury�*s parent company told us...

the nhs needs to hold onto nurses like these. the challenge, how to keep them on their books when agencies offer flexible hours and other benefits. the department of health said there were plans to end the use of the most expensive agencies and staff training would be expanded. but while patients like little lenny are happy with their treatment, hospital bosses are worried about finding the right staff to provide it. hugh pym, bbc news. the home secretary says a russian spy is going to be expelled from the uk and several russian diplomatic premises are to be closed as part of a crackdown on russian intelligence gathering operations. our security correspondent gordon corera joins me now. gordon, what is this all about? well, i am told this was not due to a single incident but rather due to the accumulation of what is being called malign activity which in the

uk includes cyber hacking, against the political process, but also some recent arrests linked to national security. recent arrests linked to national securi . ., recent arrests linked to national securi . . . , recent arrests linked to national securi . . . ., ., , security. that includes allegations recently about _ security. that includes allegations recently about an _ security. that includes allegations recently about an arson _ security. that includes allegations recently about an arson attack- security. that includes allegations recently about an arson attack on | security. that includes allegations| recently about an arson attack on a business linked to ukraine in london. those allegations have yet to come to court but that was allegedly linked to russia. also in europe, allegations of plans for sabotage in poland and germany, again linked to ukraine, even the jamming of gps signals linked to civil aviation. what is the response from the uk? one thing they are doing is expelling the russian defence attache, they are declaring him as an undeclared russian spy, although most people have known that he was an intelligence officer, but also closing two premises, one in highgate in north london, and another rather grand —looking building in sussex, that, allegedly, used for intelligence purposes. russia, of course, unhappy about

this, says there will be an appropriate response, you can expect similar closures and expulsions of british interests in moscow soon, i would have thought. john swinney has been formally sworn in as scotland's first minister. kate forbes, the formerfinance secretary, has been appointed as his deputy after deciding not to run for the leadership of the snp herself. here's our scotland editor, james cook. when this court first convened, james v was scotland's king, henry viii governed england. by those standards, this ceremony is brand—new. john ramsay swinney, to be first minister of the scottish government... mr swinney becomes just the seventh first minister since devolution in 1999. do you swear that you will well and truly serve his majesty king charles in the office of first minister of the scottish government? three times he nodded as scotland's seniorjudge administered the oaths of office. and then, with his family looking

on, he put pen to parchment, making it all official. please be seated. it is the privilege of my life, and i look forward to dedicating my future to serving the people of scotland as i have done so for so many years, and to do that as first minister. what are your priorities for government? my overriding priority will be to work to eradicate child poverty in scotland. cameras click. the formalities over, the focus has now shifted here to bute house, the official residence of the first minister, wherejohn swinney is appointing his cabinet. the big change — last year's snp leadership contender kate forbes is back in government as deputy first minister is back in government. it is an enormous privilege and i look forward to supporting the first minister as he pursues the priorities of the scottish people — eradicating poverty, ensuring economic growth

and ultimately uniting the country behind the great opportunities of our day. it all brings back memories for this man, labour's jack mcconnell, now in the house of lords. so, what advice does the third first minister have for the seventh? i think we need to give him the benefit of a fresh start, and i think people should be willing to work with him, but he needs to give a clear indication that he is willing to notjust talk about working with other people but to be open to new ideas, open to cross—party work, open to cross—government work with other parts of the uk. cameras click. first minister and prime minister spoke by telephone this afternoon, with both promising to be constructive. james cook, bbc news, a 97—year—old woman from lincolnshire has finally been recognised for the role she played during world war two in the women's auxiliary air force after nearly 80 years. evelyn hillier was 17 when she volunteered in 1944 for the waaf,

but she always thought she hadn't served for long enough to get a medal. her family decided to investigate whether she was entitled to one. and after contacting the ministry of defence they discovered that she was indeed qualified for the 1939—1945 war medal. and so 79 years later evelyn has recieved her award from a senior air force officer at her care home in stamford. when i got demobbed i didn't think i'd been in long enough to get a medal. so i never applied for it. well, it's a bit late, it's important to have it because people then know that i was in the air force. time for a look at the weather. here's sarah keith—lucas. finally, some warm and settled weather from finally, some warm and settled weatherfrom most finally, some warm and settled weather from most of us today, we have had a lot of blue sky and sunshine but there has been a bit of

cloud around as well and there is more of the same over the next few days, high pressure keeping our weather settled at the moment. some spells of warm sunshine, not completely dry, a bit of rain across the north of scotland but for most of us, much drier than it has been and we will also see some mist and fog here and there as well. as evening we have got a bit of rain across northern ireland, western scotland, the rain pushing north—eastwards during the course of the night, fizzling out a little bit but still quite damp in the far north—west. further south it is going to be mild and dry and we are going to be mild and dry and we are going to be mild and dry and we are going to see some mist and fog patches. it is this area of high pressure keeping things dry and settled at the moment. weather fronts just to the north of that are bringing some cloud and cooler air and outbreaks of rain across the north of scotland but further south we are likely to see the mist and fog patches, quite a murky start on thursday morning, i think. particularly close to the irish sea coasts, we are likely to see some lingering fog patches. there is no patchy rain which will be sitting across the north—west of scotland. drier in the east from the word go.

the rain will be easing the way to the north, most of us will have a dry day, the bit more cloud bubbling up dry day, the bit more cloud bubbling up once the mist and fog clears away which could spark off an isolated shower but most places will be avoiding them. 19—22, should feel quite pleasant, with light winds but only about 14 for the western isles. more of the same on friday, a largely dry day, we have lost most of the cloud and wet weather, from the north of scotland, so more widely it will be dry and sunny and temperatures in... the one weather continuing into the weekend with just the isolated chance of one or two showers. and that's bbc news at six. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. the scene is set at the all—new bernabeu. two giants of the champions league go head to head. as real madrid host bayern munich for a place in the final.
