rajini vaidya nathan reporting from rajini vaidyanathan reporting from birmingham. the results there echo a wider defeat for the conservative party in elections for local councils in england. here's nick eardley. as you can see, it's a real knife edge. just 1,500 votes between the labour victor and andy street for the conservatives, despite the fact that more than half a million votes were cast. in terms of percentages, this is how it shakes out, 37.8 and 37.5. note the 12%, that was an independent candidate, critical of labour's policy on the war in gaza, and despite that labour did manage to just make it through. let me show you on the next slide how things have changed. the labour vote is actually down a wee bit. the conservative vote is down so much, 11%, that has allowed labour to take the west midlands, and finally let me just quickly show you the swing that we got there, 4.6 from the conservatives to labour, enough to get them over the line. it wasn't just the west midlands, though. as we were just hearing from chris, london today as well. sadiq khan being re

hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. russia's defence minister, sergei shoigu, is being removed from his post and will become the new secretary of russia's security council. he's a long—standing ally of vladimir putin and has served as defence minister since 2012, playing a key role in russia's invasion of ukraine. his replacement will be andrei belousov — an economist and a deputy prime minister. what is the significance in this move i think the most significant thing is the fact that on the year of the full—scale invasion, the third year, putin decided to change his minister of defence. the fact that the more senior position is losing a lot of influence when she used to have is now taking a new role. it says a lot about putin's mind and his opinion of the state of the minister of russia. ~ . . , , ., ., russia. much has been made of the move of andre _ russia. much has been made of the move of andre blue _ russia. much has been made of the move of andre blue soft, _ russia. much has been made of the move of andre
