puts on track not just for a labour government, but a majority labour government, so this is hugely significant for the labour party. thousands of miles away, the prime minister, at a commonwealth meeting in rwanda, sought to brush off the defeats. yes, it's absolutely true that we've i had some tough by—election results and they have been i think- a reflection of a lot of things, but we have got to recognise that voters are going through a tough— time at the moment. but the tory party chairman oliver dowden has resigned — saying, "we cannot carry on with business as usual". we'll bring you all the latest. and our other major story this evening: a decision that's rocked america — its supreme court votes to outlaw a woman's legal right to abortion, causing despair and delight.

saw the lib dems overturning a massive 2a,000 majority to take the seat. and labour regained wakefield in west yorkshire, a seat it had lost to the conservatives in 2019. following the defeats, the tory party chairman oliver dowden resigned, saying in a letter to borisjohnson that "we cannot carry on with business as usual". but the prime minister said there was more for his government to do. here's our deputy political editor vicki young. rejected by the voters, conservatives say they were braced for defeat. but after the liberal democrats' victory, the tory candidate couldn't get out quick enough. d0 candidate couldn't get out quick enou:h. ,, ., ., candidate couldn't get out quick enou:h. ., ., ., ~ enough. do you not to say thank you to everyone? — enough. do you not to say thank you to everyone? in _ enough. do you not to say thank you to everyone? in wakefield, - enough. do you not to say thank you to everyone? in wakefield, it - enough. do you not to say thank you to everyone? in wakefield, it was i to everyone? in wakefield, it was labour celebrating, _ to everyone? in wakefield, it was labour celebrating, at _ to everyone? in wakefield, it was labour celebrating, at the - to everyone? in wakefield, it was

points ahead of labour. now labour is over 17 points ahead of the tories. and look too at the drop in the liberal democrat vote last night. it does suggest an element of tactical voting by lib dem supporters. and in tiverton, the figures are even more stark. the conservatives were way ahead of both rival parties back in 2019. now the lib dems have leap—frogged labour and increased their vote share by a massive 39 points. and look again at the drop in labour's performance. here it's their supporters who appear to have voted tactically. the swing in wakefield from tory to labour was 12.7%, and in tiverton, from tory to lib dem was a whopping 29.9%.

what would all this mean if the result in wakefield were replicated in a general election, assuming no change in other pa rties' support? well, it would result in labour being one seat short of an overall majority. and if we took tiverton as a guide, the lib dems would do vastly better. so, what do these two results mean for the tory party and for borisjohnson's future? our political correspondent nick eardley has this analysis. it's time to show boris the door! celebrating a record—breaking win, the result in tiverton and honiton was the biggest majority overturned at a by—election ever. but three times in just over a year, ed davey�*s party have overcome massive tory majorities in what were conservative heartlands. there was chesham and amersham, which had always been conservative blue.

then north shropshire, and another not—so—subtle photo op, and the lib dems overcame a conservative majority of 23,000. borisjohnson used to be seen as a political winner, the sort of leader who could bring in crowds and votes. but he only came here to tiverton and honiton once during the campaign, and some are wondering whether the rows over parties and policy mean that he's now more of an electoral liability, and the question that conservative party mps have to weigh up is if he's still the best man to lead them into the next general election. on the high street, peter explained why he'd stopped voting conservative. i think they've lost some of the moral ground, so i did vote lib dem this time. i think it's the sort of moderate policies, and i have been disaffected with boris a bit. others weighed up their electoral dilemmas. i'm not happy with boris johnson, but i voted for the conservative party.

i don't think he's an honest man, i don't trust him, but, you know, it goes right across the board, you know? no one sticks out to me at the moment as trustworthy. do you like borisjohnson? i don't dislike him, but i think there have been a few mistakes made down the line. so you might go back to the conservatives? i might, yes, i might. it depends on what happens. if we get a new prime minister and a new cabinet. ijust feel very loyal to the conservatives, and i was disloyal this time. it was all quiet at the conservative club in honiton today. for tories here and elsewhere in the country, there is a lot to weigh up. nick eardley, bbc news. our political correspondent alex forsyth is in rwanda with the prime minister. you have been with him all day. what is his mood like?— is his mood like? well, from first thin this is his mood like? well, from first thing this morning _ is his mood like? well, from first thing this morning the _ is his mood like? well, from first thing this morning the no - is his mood like? well, from first thing this morning the no 10 - is his mood like? well, from firstl thing this morning the no 10 team seemed determined that the by—election defeats wouldn't knock them off course. we were told the

prime minister was up early, he went for a swim, heard the news and that was before he was told about ol oliver dowden's resignation. he acknowledged it was a difficult set of results. but he didn't seem to take any personal responsibility for acknowledge that his leadership might have played a part. he talked about a plan that his government had, particularly when it came to the economy, saying people hurt governments when they were going through tough times. but he said he didn't think politics, personalities should play a part. i think the issueis should play a part. i think the issue is that for some of his own mps, borisjohnson's personality is part of the problem. his very style of government. as one minister said, this has to be a reset moment and he has to change direction. so far there is no sign of that. boris johnson is staying here in kigali,

meeting common wealth leaders. only then will he be back in the uk. he may want to show his strength on the global stage, may want to show his strength on the globalstage, but may want to show his strength on the global stage, but the reality is borisjohnson can't escape the pressure he is facing back home. thank you very much. there are more updates, news and analysis on bbc news online. that's at bbc.co.uk/news and by using the bbc news app. the time is 13 minutes past 6. the time is 6.1. our top story this evening: the conservatives lose two by—elections. glastonbury in the sport: wimbledon

is just around the corner and emma raducanu learns his first round opponent. more on that and the other matches. tens of millions of women across the united states have lost their right to abortion after a ruling of momentous significance by the country's supreme court. it has overturned a 50—year law that legalised abortion nationwide, and it now means that individual us states are legally able to ban it. up to half of america's 50 states are expected to do so, and 13 have already passed so—called trigger laws, which automatically outlaw abortion with the court's ruling. president biden said it was a sad day for the country. our north america editor sarah smith reports now on an issue and a decision which has

polarised the united states. this is a huge, historic moment for america. as they hear the news from the court, there isjubilation from anti—abortionists. life won today! "life won today," they chant, celebrating a victory after almost 50 years. i have seen the devastation that abortion has wrought on our country, on the communal level and then a personal level, and this is so vindicating to know that we can now take tangible steps to lessen the violence of abortion in our country. ten years ago, did you ever| imagine this would happen? i imagined it a lot, but i still... people told me it was impossible, that we would never see this kind of victory, and now i know that victory is not only possible, it happened. so we are going to work out of this momentum, we are going to keep going, we're going to keep fighting, and we're going to build a better world.

this fury from t this hose campaigning to keep fury from those campaigning to keep the guaranteed right to abortion, promising to fight back. it's not the will of the people, and this country's supposed to run off of the will of the people. i'm 21, and i'm terrified! we have a lot of work to do to make that happen, but we will never give up. it's 50 years since there was last a significant decision on abortion rights in america. it might be another 50. it might be 50 more, sure. but we're not going to stop. it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter what they say. again, abortions will continue, theyjust won't be legal, and women will die from botched abortions. it's obvious this ruling is not going to end the arguments over abortion in america. in fact, it will inflame them. in this deeply polarised society, abortion is already one of the most divisive issues. today's ruling means individual states can make their own laws on abortion. there are 13 states that have so—called trigger laws in place which will now lead to an immediate

abortion ban. another 13 will move quickly to ban or severely limit access, says a pro—choice group. it estimates 36 million women of reproductive age will live in states without abortion access. the hypocrisy — without abortion access. the hypocrisy is _ without abortion access. tue: hypocrisy is raging, without abortion access. tte: hypocrisy is raging, but without abortion access. tt2 hypocrisy is raging, but the harm is endless. what this means two women is such an insult, it's a slap in the face to women about using their own judgment to make their own decisions about their reproductive freedom. the political impact could be felt in elections in november. pro—choice democrats hope women will turn out for them in large numbers. # jesus loves the little children... anti-abortion _ # jesus loves the little children... anti-abortion activists _ # jesus loves the little children... anti-abortion activists view - # jesus loves the little children... anti-abortion activists view today'sj anti—abortion activists view today's victory is merely a first step. they will now take their campaigns to every state which allows

terminations, trying to get abortion banned in the whole of the united states. well, as we saw in sarah's report, there are 13 us states which have laws in place to impose an immediate ban on abortion now that roe v wade has been overturned by the supreme court. one of them is arkansas. sophie long reports from the state capital little rock. awarning, a warning, her report contained some distressing detail. it was exactly the ruling they'd been dreading. when the decision was delivered, it extinguished their final flickers of hope. outside, they had to turn women away. abortion is murder. it'sjust been upheld. inside, they had to deal with the realisation that the care they provided here is now a criminal offence... i don't think there's a waiting period there, but it is about a five—and—a—half— hour drive. ..and tell people they can no longer help.

i'd say it's like having to turn women away, like... it sucks. jennifer thompson first came here as a patient. she says her abortion saved her life, and the care she received here inspired her to train so she could do the same for others. and now i have to tell them, i'm sorry, but there's nothing i can do for you. i'm sorry that your boyfriend beats you every day and that he rapes you all the time. there's nothing i can do. you're going to have to find somewhere else to go. i mean, i can give them information to help them try, but it's heartbreaking, man. like, you know, this place saved my life, literally, and to not be able to provide anybody else with that when i know what this place is capable of, it's heartbreaking, man. for more than ten years, dr willie parker has travelled here from another state because the restrictive laws and the threat of violence or financial ruin has long been too great for local doctors to carry out abortions here themselves.

i feel angry in the way that anybody who is deeply vested in human rights should feel angry and outraged and indignant, any time they are witnessing injustice. we will come to recognise the full cost of criminalising abortion when we start to see the bump in the rise in maternal mortality and morbidity, suffering and death related to conditions that are unique to pregnancy. for the anti—abortion protesters outside, this is a good day. it will be a day of celebration for me, though we will not fully celebrate until abortion is eradicated fully from our land, until little rock family planning services, for example, is closed down, and does not reopen, then we can celebrate for sure. they will continue their fight, but the supreme court's ruling will fundamentally change the course of the lives of all the women who pass the protesters every day

to provide the care they did here. sophie long, bbc news, little rock, arkansas. let's go back to sarah smith in washington. we have at president biden condemn this in the strongest terms, yet the supreme court's ruling will go ahead. how can that be? ~ , , , �* be? well, it is interesting, isn't it? we heard — be? well, it is interesting, isn't it? we heard president - be? well, it is interesting, isn't it? we heard president biden . be? well, it is interesting, isn't. it? we heard president biden said be? well, it is interesting, isn't- it? we heard president biden said he thought this was a tragic mistake, but he can't do anything about it, because the supreme court rules on this, so you know the democrat have the white house, the senate and house of representatives, they don't have enough numbers to pass a federal law guaranteeing the right to abortion. they tried and failed at that a few weeks ago, so there is nothing they can do once the supreme court has ruled. they have taken away the constitutional guarantee of abortion rights, and that means individual states will set their own rules and are already doing so. almost immediately, missouri said they had instituted an abortion ban.

arkansas will do so later this afternoon, and you will hear many were following that. so what the president can do, and he says he will continue to work to do, is to try to help women for many of these states that have banned terminations travelling to other states which continue to allow the procedure. he says they want to make sure that women can do that i'd also be able to receive abortion pill through the mail, but beyond that, there's nothing the president can do once the supreme court has made its decision. thank you, sarah smith reporting from washington. there's been another significant increase in covid infections, up about 300,000 in the last week. our health editor hugh pym is here to examine the numbers. yes, reeta, a sharp rise in covid infections, according to the latest ons household survey. this suggests 1.7 million people in the uk had the virus last week. that was up 23% on the week before. and there were varying case rates in the uk's nations. scotland had the highest — 1 in 20 had the virus.

in england it was1 in a0. in wales it was 1 in a5. in northern ireland it was1 in 30. health officials have said today that more than half of covid cases are driven by newer strains of the omicron variant, baa and ba5, which spread more quickly. they've stressed again the importance of getting vaccinated. we have very little evidence that it causes _ we have very little evidence that it causes more severe disease. however, causes more severe disease. however, we causes more severe disease. however, we are _ causes more severe disease. however, we are very— causes more severe disease. however, we are very concerned that there are a number— we are very concerned that there are a number of— we are very concerned that there are a number of people in the higher risk groups, the over 75 is and so on, risk groups, the over 75 is and so on. who— risk groups, the over 75 is and so on. who have _ risk groups, the over 75 is and so on, who have not come forward for therefore _ on, who have not come forward for therefore those in the spring booster, _ therefore those in the spring booster, and we think those people could _ booster, and we think those people could get— booster, and we think those people could get the consequences of severe covid, _ could get the consequences of severe covid, so _ could get the consequences of severe covid, so we — could get the consequences of severe covid, so we are urging people if they have — covid, so we are urging people if they have been off of their fourth dose _ they have been off of their fourth dose to— they have been off of their fourth dose to come forward. fourth jabs are set to be available to 65—year—olds and older from the autumn, its not clear for those who are younger.

so far hospital numbers remain relatively low — thanks to vaccines and omicron being milder than previous variants. this chart shows the number of daily covid hospital admissions in the uk — the dark line represents the underlying trend. around 2,500 thousand in late march, about a thousand now and rising. some though are patients with other conditions who've tested positive. health officials think those numbers could go up from here and say they will watch the data very closely. thank you. a second earthquake has shaken an area of southeastern afghanistan, causing yet more death and destruction. more than 1,000 people are known to have died in the quakes, which took place in paktika province, one of the poorest areas in one of the poorest countries in the world. our correspondent secunder kermani was in gayan when the second quake struck. scrambling for scraps of bread. for survivors of this earthquake, supporters flowing in, but more is needed. —— support is flowing in. we

a bit of a mixed bag for some of us. with sunshine and showers on the way. at the moment, heavy showers affecting parts of north—eastern england and also the south—west, heading towards glastonbury. this low pressure will park itself around ireland over the next two or three days. strong winds blowing around it, so the western coast of the uk will feel the breeze. let's look at the forecast of the course of this evening. we have showers moving on from the south, crossing the country. the low pressure just to the west of ireland here. by the early hours of saturday morning, temperatures hovering around about 1a degrees in london, 1a or so in the lowlands of scotland. through tomorrow, most of the showers will be swept in by that strong breeze, blowing around this area of low pressure towards western parts of the uk. let's take a closer look. if you squint, you canjust about the uk. let's take a closer look. if you squint, you can just about see these showers they're affecting parts of western scotland, northern

ireland, the irish sea coast, through wales in south—western england. fewershowers through wales in south—western england. fewer showers expected in the east of the country, where we will also see the most sunshine, the lighter winds, and higher temperatures up to around 22 degrees in norwich, hulland not temperatures up to around 22 degrees in norwich, hull and not far off that newcastle as well. the low pressure is still winners on sunday, the strong winds blowing around it, and in fact, the strong winds blowing around it, and infact, it the strong winds blowing around it, and in fact, it will turn quite windy inland well during sunday. gusts of 30—a0 mph, whipping up the tree is a little bit. 23 in norwich but only 15 in belfast. in the outlook, you can see quite a mixed picture to come for edinburgh, belfast and cardiff. the best sunshine always furthest south and east. thank you very much. and that's bbc news at six on friday, june 2a. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. from the six team, it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one, as now its time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodnight.

nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house has accused the justices of criminalising health freedom. she also said that contraception, ivf and family planning. she is claiming that there was, too, could potentially be legally threatened. is that collecting anyway. —— is that correct in any way? t5 is that collecting anyway. -- is that correct in any way? is exact about. that correct in any way? is exact about- one _ that correct in any way? is exact about. one of— that correct in any way? is exact about. one of the _ that correct in any way? is exact about. one of the things - that correct in any way? is exact about. one of the things the i that correct in any way? is exact i about. one of the things the judges said was try to really say this was just about abortion and i think about all the other things but when you think about a lot of the other white americans rely on, they come from the right to privacy, the right to make health care decisions for children or decide where children go to school, they're vital to marry, the right to use contraception, all of these things in various ways are falling under rights that do not explicitly appear in the constitution. there is no fundamental right to marry

articulated in the constitution. there is no fundamental right to parent articulated in the constitution by the courts in the past have found that those rights should be protected and certainly if you've read the opinion from justice thomas that says all of these rights that have been read into the constitution are garbage and should throw them away including the marriage quality case, that is a really significant shift and the implications of that from contraception to manage two decisions you make about who you're going to have six with, you know, all of those things are on the table now. , . , all of those things are on the table now. , ., , ,, all of those things are on the table now. , ., , , , ., ~ ., all of those things are on the table now. , ., , , , ., ~' ., ., ., now. generally speaking to lower a little bit earlier. _ now. generally speaking to lower a little bit earlier. we _ now. generally speaking to lower a little bit earlier. we can _ now. generally speaking to lower a little bit earlier. we can hear- now. generally speaking to lower a little bit earlier. we can hear more| little bit earlier. we can hear more of what president biden had to say. today is, it's not hyperbole to say it is a very solemn moment. today

the supreme court of the united states over the domecq expressly took away constitutional right that it had already recognised —— expressly took away constitutional right that had already been recognised. they didn't limit, they took it away. it is a sad day for the court and for the country. 50 years ago, roe v wade was decided and has been the law of the length since then. this landmark case protected women's right to choose, the right to make intensely personal decisions with their doctor free from interference of politics. to be basic principles of equality, that women have the power to control their own desk to stay —— to reaffirm principles of equality, and to reaffirm the fundamental right of privacy, control their own destiny, right for each of us to control of each our lives. now, with roe gun, let's be very clear, the health and

life of women in nations is no risk —— now, with roe gone. as chairman and ranking member of the united statesjudiciary and ranking member of the united states judiciary committee and and ranking member of the united statesjudiciary committee and vice president and now president of the united states to study this case carefully. i have overseen more supreme court confirmation than anyone else today in this case was discussed. i believe roe v wade was a collective soup it decision as a matter of constitutional law and a recognition of a fundamental right to privacy, liberty, masses of the family and personal autonomy. —— matters of the family and personal authority. decision conflict matter. itwasa it was a decision with broad national consensus that most weapons found acceptable and it had been below the line for most of the

lifetime of americans today and it was a constitutional principle upheld byjustices appointed by democrat and republican presidents alike. roe v wade was a 7— to the decision, written by a justice appointed by republican president, richard nystatin —— richard nixon. in the five because that followed, republican presidents from eisenhower, vegan, george w bush, were among thejustices eisenhower, vegan, george w bush, were among the justices that voted to uphold the principles set forth in roe v wade —— rain. it was the justices named by donald trump that upheld the decision to tip the call to like scales ofjustice and take away fundamental human right for women in this country. make no mistake, this is a deliberation over

a decade of said balance and aloe. it is a realisation of an extreme ideology and tragic ever by the sickening court in my view. to what it is never done before, expressly —— it is a tragic error by the supreme court in my view. the court has done what it is never done before, expressly takeaway fundamental right of semi—americans the story been recognised. of course, the decision to do so will be immediately recognised. state laws banning abortion are automatically taking effect today, jeopardising the health of millions of women, some without exception. so extreme that women can be punished for protecting their health. so extreme that women and girls were forced to bear their rapist�*s child. a child, the consequence... itjust

stuns me to think that doctors will be criminalised for doing their duty to care. imagine having a young warm and having to have your child of incest as a consequence of incest. —— imagine a young woman having to have a child of incest. as a so often the case, poor women are going to be hit hardest and it is cool. in fact, the court laid out state laws that do criminalising abortion that go back to the 1800s as rational. the court literally taking america back 150 years. it is a sad day for the country in my view but it doesn't mean the fight is over. let me be very clear and unambiguous. the only way we can secure a woman's right to choose, the balance that existed, is for congress to restore the predictions of roe v wade as

federal law. just make the protections. no executive action earth president can do that and if congress, as it appears, votes do that now voters need to make the voices heard. this fall, we must elect more senators and representatives who will clarify a woman's white cheese and the federal law once again. i like most state leaders to perfect this fight at a local level —— who will codify a woman's right to choose. need to restore the protections of roe. this fall, roe is on the ballot. personal freedom is on the ballot. the right to privacy, liberty, equality, they're all on the ballot. until then, i will do all in my power to protect the women's right in states where they will face the consequences of

today's decision. well, the court's decision cast a large shadow over while the court's decision cast a large shadow over large swaths of the land, many states in this country still recognise a woman's right to choose. so if a woman lives in a state that restricts abortion, the supreme court's decision does not prevent her from travelling from her home state to the state that allows it. it does not prevent a doctor in that state, in that state, from treating her. as the attorney general has made clear, women must remain free to travel safely to another state to seek care they need. my administration will defend that bedrock right. if any state or local official, high or low, tries to interfere with a woman's exercising her basic right to travel, i will do everything in my power to fight that deeply un—american

attack. my administration will also protect a woman's access to medications that are approved by the food and drug administration, the fda, like contraception, which is essential for preventative health care, another one which was fda approved 20 years ago to safely end early pregnancies and is commonly used to treat miscarriages. some states are saying that they'll try to ban or severely restrict access to these medications. extremist governors and state legislators are looking to block the mail or search a person's medicine cabinet

or control a woman's actions by tracking data on apps she uses are wrong and out of touch with the majority of americans. the american medical association, american college of obstetricians and gynaecologists wrote to me and vice president harris stressing that these laws are not based on evidence and asking us to protect access to care. they say by limiting access to these medicines, maternal mortality will climb in america. that is what they say. today, aimed at directing the department of health and human services to take steps to ensure these critical medications are available to the fullest extent possible. and that politicians cannot interfere with the decisions that should be made between a woman and her doctor. my administration will remain vigilant as the implications of this decision play out. i've warned about how this decision risks the broader right to privacy for everyone. that's because roe recognised the fundamental right to privacy

that has served as a basis for so many more rights that we've come to take for granted that are ingrained in the fabric of this country. the right to make the best decisions for your health. the right to use birth control, a married couple in the privacy of their bedroom, for god's sake. the right to marry the person you love. justice thomas said as much today. he explicitly called to reconsider the right of marriage equality, the right of couples to make their choices on contraception. this is an extreme and dangerous path the court is now taking us on. let me close on two points. first, i call on everyone, no matter how deeply they care about this decision, to keep all protests peaceful. peaceful, peaceful, peaceful. no intimidation. violence is never acceptable. threats and intimidation are not speech.

we must stand against violence in any form, regardless of your rationale. second, i know so many of us are frustrated and disillusioned that the court has taken something away that is so fundamental. i know so many women are now going to face an incredibly difficult situation. i hear you. i support you. i stand with you. consequences and the consensus of the american people. core principles of equality, liberty, dignity, and the stability of the rule of law demand that roe should not have been overturned.
