hello and welcome to westminster — where the conservative party has two fewer mps today.hat's after the tories suffered two by—election defeats — losing safe seats to labour and the liberal democrats. labour overturned a majority of more than 20,000 votes in the north yorkshire seat of selby and ainsty. the lib dems won somerton and frome in somerset, overturning a 19,000 vote majority. their leader says that a powerful message had been sent to the conservative party. but the tories held on to borisjohnson�*s former constituency of uxbridge and south ruislip in west london — winning by just a95 votes. we'll be live in each of those constituencies in a moment — but first — here's our political correspondent alex forsyth — on a night of by—election drama. i hereby declare that kier mather is duly elected. cheering the jubilation was obvious. in the early hours of this morning, this was the moment labour overturned a conservative majority of more than 20,000 to win in selby and ainsty, something the party has never done before. the people of selby and ainsty have sent a clea

yes, we did start with the westminster abbey service.it had 1500 nhs staff there, as well as all the main political parties, and there was royal representation as well. so it was quite an important moment to at least note. but i did say, pretty quickly, it comes at a time of intense strain on the service and services under real pressure. so i suppose you need to combine both thoughts. it is a moment 75th anniversary and there is still quite a lot of pride in the service founded in 1948, providing free at the point of use health care, making a massive difference to people's lives. reflecting on that, but certainly looking to the future with all the huge challenges that there are right now. equally, there are other viewers, you won't be surprised to hear, who feel the bbc is far too negative about the nhs. how would you answer them? well, i think the comments we've heard are we're not being critical enough or we're being too critical, and i think we need to reflect on those. but it shows there are differing views. there were two reports fr

jonathan blake in westminster and rebecca curran in aberdeen, thank you.a thrilling victory over australia at the final test at the oval mean england have levelled the ashes series 2—2. australia were bowled out for 334, handing england a 49—run win. stuart broad — in his final match before retirement — took the last two wickets in front of a packed crowd. 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson was watching the action. perfect endings are beautifully rare, so let's trace the tale of how stuart broad reached this one. it began with another bowler, chris woakes, with early wickets at the oval to give england belief. but australia had their goal, they were aiming for 384 to win the match. with steve smith and with travis head, it certainly seemed reachable. they were 264—3. england had serious work to do. so did the ground staff. for hours we watched the rain and reflected. and then, mayhem. moeen ali wasn't really fit. he got rid of head for a3. smith made 5a and no more. chris woakes's role pivotal. still two more to take. who's that young man? yeah, pretty goo

jonathan blake speaking from westminster.says its forces are making steady progress in a counterattack against russian troops on the southeastern front line. western officials say a major thrust is under way, though reports indicate that ukrainian advances are relatively minor. in a video published by president zelensky, ukrainian troops said they had taken the village of staromaiorske. the village, which is 150km east of zaporizhzhia city, was taken under intense artillery fire and airstrikes, according to the army. russian president vladimir putin said ukraine's attacks had "significantly" intensified. 0ur correspondentjames waterhouse has the latest. for weeks, we've had ukraine probe for russian weaknesses whilst keeping the bulk of its forces in reserve. and we've seen russia pretty much do the same. and now if you look at some corners of the west, we've had some us officials describe today as being the start of a major thrust. there is a lot of excitement, but ukraine isn't using the same kind of language. in terms of w
