to have died from malnutrition. in thailand — two rival groups try to form a government, though the final results still haven't been announced. and, three months after the plane crash that killed footballer emiliano sala, his multi—million dollar transfer sparks a bitter row. the authority of the british prime minister has been undermined as parliament voted to take control of the brexit process. theresa may lost 3 ministers after a series of votes on monday. now for the first time parliament not the government, will take control of business in the house of commons on wednesday. here's the speakerjohn bercow reading out the result.

the ayes to the right — 329. the noes to the left — 302. so the ayes have it, the ayes have it. unlock. mrs may had intended to hold a third meaningful vote on her brexit deal but was forced to abandon those plans amid continued resistance. here she is speaking earlier. i continue to believe that the right path is the uk leaving the eu on the 22nd of may. but as things stand, there is still not sufficient support in the house to bring back the dealfor a support in the house to bring back the deal for a meaningful vote. support in the house to bring back the dealfor a meaningful vote. i continue to have discussions with collea g u es continue to have discussions with

colleagues across the house to build support so that we can bring the revoke forward this week and guarantee brexit. so the government has lost three more ministers and even more control of the brexit process. the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn says the government's approach to brexit is "a national embarrassment" and urged the prime minister to allow parliament to take control of brexit alternatives through indicative votes. here's a reminder of what that means. indicative votes are where mps vote on a range of options designed to test the sentiment of mps — to see what, if anything, might command a majority. mps are able to express their support or disapproval for each individual motion, meaning that they could choose to support more than one of them. here's mr corbyn in the house of commons. she cannot both accept her deal doesn't have the numbers and stand in the way of finding an alternative that may have the numbers. it is

ridiculous to think that parliament taking control is overturning democratic institutions. it's not, mr speaker, it's parliament doing its democraticjob of holding government to account. so what happens now and what's the timetable? our political correspondent nick eardley can guide us through the indicative votes process. another big brexit vote in parliament and another defeat for the government. this one means that mps have wrestled some of the control over what happens next away from ministers. there will be a bunch of votes on wednesday looking at alternative plans to the one the prime minister has been fighting for. it means mps could be asked about things like a closer relationship with the eu than the one the government wants, a more distant relationship, potentially the idea of another referendum, potentially leaving with no deal at all, even cancelling the whole thing, revoking article 50. it's really not clear whether any of that will get the backing of a majority of mps and the prime minister has made clear that even if it does, if it's something

that's contrary to what she promised at the election, she might not go to europe and ask for it. anyway, the prime minister still has her deal, she is still trying to win up more support for it before she brings it back to parliament but at the moment, it's not even guaranteed that will happen. on the continent, the european commission has warned that it looks even more likely britain will leave the eu without a deal. they've been preparing for a no—deal brexit for over a year. shortly after the vote, our europe correspondent, gavin lee, gave the view from brussels . on the back of what we're now seeing with parliament getting a sense of control on wednesday, we might get a sense of which way the parliament may go on indicative votes. i've had a senior eu official text me in the past few minutes to say, look, this in some ways could be good if we get a sense of convergence from mps that we haven't had before. maybe it breaks the deadlock.

carl bildt, the former swedish prime minister, the only one to be fairly rapid fire on his twitter tonight, saying: "downhill, downhill tonight, where does this end?" monday's developments have made the path towards brexit even more uncertain. the prime minister is also facing mounting pressure to resign. iain watson has more. one idea that is being floated is that she resigned as party leader but stays on as prime minister through the remaining brexit process so through the remaining brexit process so the leadership contest can be announced. another senior mp said tonight that this will not be enough tonight that this will not be enough to get this unpopular deal through a nyway to get this unpopular deal through anyway so she might as well did again but she is in danger of losing further control of the process this week. a group of backbench mps are pushing for alternatives for her deal to be debated and that is

likely to happen wednesday. government sources think those backbench mps will win. they could be the prospect of this week seeing the prime minister still in office but not really in power. if you'd like to know more about monday night's brexit developments and the situation in general — there's plenty of information on our website. simply head to bbc.com/news. there you'll find in—depth analysis from our correspondents and other experts. you can also download the news app. militant groups in gaza have fired a barrage of rockets at israel in response to israeli air strikes. the israeli military said 30 rockets had been launched from gaza, some were intercepted by air defence missiles while others fell in open areas. the conflict escalated following a rocket attack early on monday which injured seven people deep inside israeli territory. from jerusalem, our correspondent yolande knell reports.

another nerve—racking night in gaza. israel's military says it's targeting the sites of hamas, the militant group which runs the strip. here, its leader's office was hit as missiles were fired at israel. i just want to say bibi it's an honour to have you at the oval office, thank you. thank you. meanwhile in washington, israel's prime minister, fighting a tough election campaign, had wanted to show he's an unrivalled statesman. in a day of history, we have never had a greater friend than president trump. mr netanyahu has now had to cut his trip short and hurry home. this is why. a house in central israel destroyed by a rocket fired from gaza early this morning. little children were among those injured. robert wolf, their grandfather, is originally from the uk.

this is the real price and ijust paid it and i nearly lost my family. and if we hadn't have got to the bomb shelter in time, i would now be burying all my family. there was already fear of rising tension this week coming up to the anniversary of protests here along gaza's boundary fence. tonight, egypt, often a go—between for israel and hamas, has been frantically trying to broker a ceasefire and avert a wider conflict. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. to yemen, where in the past 2a hours there's been some of the heaviest fighting in the port of hodeidah since a ceasefire deal was brokered in december. the country has been devastated by a war between pro—government forces, backed by a saudi coalition supported by the us and the uk, against houthi rebels, backed by iran. on the fourth anniversary of the start of the current conflict, new figures reveal more than 8,000 people have died

as a result of fighting since 2015, a quarter of them women and children. bbc arabic‘s nawal al—maghafi looks at the impact the conflict has had on civilians. her report contains images viewers may find distressing. the corridors of hodeidah's main hospital and packed with desperate people. four years of conflict have caused a humanitarian catastrophe. this two—year—old weighs just three kilograms, as much as a newborn baby. translation: because of the war and the blockade, food is so expensive. the mothers themselves are hungry, so how are they meant to breast—feed

or provide for their children? dozens of starving children are brought to this ward every day. many with acute health needs. this is what malnutrition does to a baby's skin. in the last four years, more than 80,000 children are estimated to have died as a result of poor nutrition. this ten—year—old was close to death when her mother brought her here. translation: thank god she is now doing so much better. but when we go home, i don't know how i'm going to feed her. i work from sunrise until sundown and still i don't make enough to feed us. with more than half of the hospitals closed in yemen, many have no access to health care. this kidney dialysis clinic is overwhelmed. patients are meant to have dialysis at least three times a week. but every day more people come so they'll take whatever they can to survive.

translation: i'm lucky ifi get it done once a week. i'm 0k financially but most of the sick here are so desperate. it's all because of the blockade. everything is so expensive and the clinic is barely coping. cholera has reappeared in this town. medics thought it had been contained after engulfing the country last year. war and poverty combined allowed the epidemic to spread faster than any on record. just this year, it's already killed more than 190 people. translation: we fill our bottles from the well and we get sick, then we come here and they say we have something called cholera. we know the water is not clean, but what else can we drink? we have no other choice. 80% of the population are now

reliant on some form of support to survive. but with aid struggling to make it into the country, the situation is only getting worse. and every day war goes on, the people of grow hungrier, more sick and more desperate for peace. former thai premier tha ksin shinawatra claims the country's first election since the military coup in 2014 was rigged to ensure the military retain their political grip on the kingdom. the electoral commission has said it would investigate any allegations of irregularities but the election result is still not clear. two rival camps — the opposition backed by mr thaksin and a pro—military party — are both trying to form a government. our south—east asia correspondentjonathan head says there'll be a lot more political haggling before the final election

result is announced in may. what you've got at the moment is a bargaining between parties. there have been problems, more problems than usual, with the results this time. they, should, at least the preliminary results, should have been clear on election night. there have obviously been technical problems at the election commission. there are allegations of irregularities, that is not unusual, but we just do not know how serious these are. there has certainly been a very big loss of trust in the rather chaotic way the election commission has explained itself. but we do now have some pretty clear results. they are now finally confirming the number of seats that have been won, and they are now calculating the proportional seats that parties will get on top of that. what we're seeing is a pretty clear trend and i do notthink that will change whatever the investigations into irregularities are and that is that the pro—thaksin party, the anti—military partry, pheu thai, is still the largest party but smaller than it used

to be, significantly smaller. the the new military party has done better than expected. these are the two groups that are now negotiating frantically with the other parties to see if they can form a coalition. and we've got this new exciting young party, future forward, which has done much, much better than anyone exptected, most likely on the anti—military side, so it looks like the anti—military side could probably get to a majority in the lower house first. but of course, remember, the military have in their pocket and entirely appointed senate. if they deploy it, i think they'll be a lot of protests. i'm sure they'd prefer not to. but they of course could do that and that means and it is likely that general prayuth will prevail and remain as prime minister. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: taking on netflix. apple enters the tv streaming market with an all—star cast. let there be no more war or bloodshed between arabs and israelis.

the latest headlines: british mps have voted to take control of the parliamentary agenda on brexit — they're now expected to hold a series of indicative votes on what to do next. after israeli airstrikes across gaza, palestinian militants have retaliated, firing a barrage of rockets into israel. cardiff city football club is arguing that the deal they signed for the striker, emiliano sala, wasn't legally binding. the footballer died in a plane crash in the english channel injanuary. cardiff is refusing to make payments towards the fifteen—million pound transfer fee agreed with the french club, nantes, saying that the conditions for the completion of the deal were not fulfilled. we're joined from the bbc sports centre by holly hamilton. what's behind the dispute? duncan,

as you rightly say, the circumstances around emiliano sala's death, you might be forgiven for thinking these two clubs, cardiff and nantes, at the centre would be unified in their grief but this all emerged at the beginning of february. nantes had written to cardiff demanding the first £15 million transfer fee alongside what seemed to be a threat of legal action if that money continued to be withheld by the club, saying they had waited long enough so fast forward to today, cardiff city saying emiliano sala's cardiff contract had been rejected by the premier league because of this signing on fees stipulation. emiliano sala died before a revised version could be signed. it all sounds complicated but cardiff are saying is contract wasn't legally binding because of those clauses in the transfer agreement. they were

not fulfilled and without that, he was not eligible to play in the premier league and sala could have joined another club if he wanted to. na ntes joined another club if he wanted to. nantes in a statement say they have no information at all about sala's registration in the premier league and it could be a problem ——if it's and it could be a problem ——if it's a problem for cardiff, it could be a problem 402. they are awaiting a response by the third of april and they are processing that accordingly. cardiff have been warned they face a possible transfer ban from fifa if they don't cough up this money. it is grim, duncan, to see this played out in public. indeed. holly, thank you very much. holly hamilton at the bbc sports centre. tributes have been paid to scott walker, the singer and songwriter, who's died at the age of 76. he shot to fame in the sixties as one of the walker brothers, singing on hits including "the sun ain't gonna shine anymore"

and "make it easy on yourself". he left the group at the height of their fame, and released a series of experimental and acclaimed albums. david sillito looks back on his life. # emptiness is the place you're in...#. the life of scott walker is one of music's strangerjourneys, a long retreat from 60s pop stardom. at first it was fantastic for the first couple of albums or so. but then it really wears you down. # the sun ain't gonna shine any more. # the moon ain't gonna rise in the sky...#. this was a man who at the peak of his success in the walker brothers disappeared into a monastery to study gregorian chants, and even 40 years on, those working with him saw a man wanting to move on from his past.

the thing you have to remember about scott is that he was spectacularly famous. i mean in the mid—60s he was inspiring devotion second only to the beatles, you know, he was chased around. there were people trying to rip his clothes off, he was photographed wherever he went. he experienced full throttle celebrity and i think anybody who has been through that experience is marked by it. it is a very peculiar experience. # go ask the maid if she heard what i said # tell her to change the sheets on the bed # mathilde's come back to me... #. in the late 60s he went solo and embraced the work of belgium jacques brel but as the years went by, his sales dipped. i became kind of a leper. people really didn't want to touch me after, you know, commercially, after the albums i started to make.

after that i don't know what happened. a whole lot of drinking! musically he went from this... to something rather darker, dissonant and experimental. that 60s pop star with the screaming fans had long since become just a memory. the president of brazil has asked for commemorations of the military dictatorship which began on march 30 1964. previous celebrations of the date was suspended by the former left—wing president dilma rousseff when she created a truth commission to deal with human rights abuses. president bolsonaro, a former

military leader, has praised the achievements, saying the military saved the country from communism. the technology giant apple has unveiled its own tv and film subscription service as it tries to boost profits after flagging sales of its iphone. it's signed up some top talent — steven spielberg, oprah winfrey and jennifer aniston will be making programmes. but apple faces tough competition from the likes of netflix which already has more than 130 million subscribers globally. our media editor amol rajan reports. want me to help you find your opening? like the big bang, it explodes. some of hollywood's biggest names came out for apple today. thank you guys, this is so exciting... this evening, the $900 billion company announced a raft of new services in news, credit cards and games.

but the biggest draw was a beefed—up tv product called apple tv+. it will launch in over 100 countries, later this year. unlike anything that's been done before. apple is making a bold play in a new attention economy. awarforourears, eyes and minds is raging. and it's dominated by companies based on the west coast of america. if you're watching this, then i'm not around anymore but don't spiral, don't obsess, keep going... netflix has said it won't put any of its shows on the apple service. by the same token, us giant, disney, which last week completed its purchase of rupert murdoch's entertainment assets, has pulled out of netflix and is launching another streaming service next month. and i want to give you an opportunity to be able to express your feelings... the brains behind one of netflix's biggest shows this year says there has never been a better time to be a producer. i think the thing that has really changed with the advent of the streaming services and the algorithms that sit behind them is that, whereas the linear broadcasters tend to have to operate and make programs for a very niche demographic, the streamed services can work out

exactly what audience the programme will fit for, once the program has been delivered. a great wave of consolidation is sweeping across the media landscape as the creators of content are getting together with the distributors — those who own the pipes. rather than buy a content company outright, apple are big enough and brave enough to have a go at content themselves. for punters that is great but for traditional broadcasters, the fact that even rupert murdoch thinks he is too small to compete with silicon valley, is notjust ominous, it's terrifying. with its iphone business slow down and maybe even peaked, apple is expanding its horizons beyond hardware to hollywood. amol rajan, bbc news. you may have heard of a cat cafe but how about a corgi cafe? one hasjust opened in bangkok where customers pay around $11 to spend an hour petting the pooches. the cafe has 12 corgis and the breed is become increasingly popular

in thailand and as a result the sessions get quickly booked up. hello there. if you like your spring weather dry, i think you will find plenty to like about this weather forecast. very little rain in the forecast for most of us. we will see dry weather. sunshine amounts will vary. often i think there'll be quite large amounts of cloud but the temperatures as we head towards the end of the week will start to creep upwards. high pressure in charge of the scene which is what's keeping things settled and as i run the sequence through the next few days, this high—pressure barely moves. so for most of us, things stay dry and quiet. up to the north, notice frontal systems scraping into northern scotland so here we'll see patchy rains at times and it will be breezy. we start tuesday for many on a chilly note and towards the south with the lion's share of the clear skies but also the best of the sunshine

through tuesday morning. the further north and west you are, the more cloud there is likely to be and across the north—west of scotland, outbreaks of patchy rain, quite breezy in northern scotland as well. elsewhere cloud thicken up to squeeze out the odd large shower but the vast majority dry. the afternoon brings a mixture of patchy cloud and sunny spells and temperatures generally between 11 and 14. get into some sunshine, that will feel quite pleasant. into tuesday night, we will see fairly large amounts of cloud and where it breaks up for any length of time, we are likely to see mist and fog patches developing. as a consequence of all the cloud, it's probably not going to get particularly cold. but if you do keep clear starry skies overhead for a time, don't be surprised if we do get a touch of frost. wednesday, very similar day. a mixture of cloudy areas and sunny areas. probably brightening up for many places. for scotland, again,

we will see some outbreaks of rain. those temperatures may be up by a degree also. 12—15 degrees. high pressure still with us as we move out of wednesday into thursday. not many white lines or isobars on the chart but what wind there is will be moving in a clockwise direction. that will introduce a south or south—westerly flow across much of the uk, bringing some slightly milder air. a mixture of patchy cloud and sunny spells once any early morning fog clears. sea breezes developing around the coast of eastern or southern england and those temperatures, by this stage, up to 16 or possibly 17 degrees. as we look further ahead, friday is going to be another mild if not warm day. again, we should see long spells of sunshine. as we get on into the weekend, it looks like thing will turn a little bit cooler. but most of us, it will be predominantly dry. that's all from me for now.
