There will be people who will try to put you down, who will try to block your way and tell you that you cant. I am here tonight to tell you you can, you must, and you will. Every voice should ring with equal power, equal strength and equal value. That is what the Liberal Democrats stand for and that is what the people of Chesham And Amersham have voted for. This Conservative Party has taken people across our country for granted for far too long. We will continue the work of holding this government to account for letting covered rip through care homes, we will speak up for the 3 Million people excluded for financial support throughout the pandemic and we will challenge Boris Johnson to be far more ambitious in tackling climate change, supporting our Frontline Workers and backing out small businesses. Democrats will ensure they will be held accountable and they will be scrutinised. The bbc� s Andy Holmes is at the count in chesham. Great to see you. A great result for the Lib Dems .

The last 1a elections and Chesham And Amersham has seen the conservatives went by a majority of 10,000. You have to go back 100 years the last time there was a liberal mp here but thatis there was a liberal mp here but that is what happened this evening. When i spoke to the Deputy Leader of the Lib Dems she said the party had no illusions that they had amounted to climb to win the election but not only have they climbed the mountain but have rundown the other side with a swing of 25 on the vote from the previous election. Swing of 2596 on the vote from the previous election. Swing of 2596 on the vote from the previous election. What do ou think the previous election. What do you think is the previous election.

It that were being voted on . If you look at what has happened in bucks locally at the election this year buckinghamshire they took the mayoral elections. They took 15 of the 147 seats. That still gives the conservatives 113 but thatis gives the conservatives 113 but that is 15 feet from making them the official opposition. They were all was optimistic that would do really well and have worked incredibly hard. They leader sirEd Davey has been to the constituency 15 times during this election and they have done an awful lot of leafleting. They say a lot of conservatives have spoken to them feeling neglected and not having seen their previous mp during the campaign as they had gone along. It is like hs two, the relevant that will go through the middle of the cheltenham is is a big issue as well. But the changes to the planning laws was a main issue. You look at the conservatives, you could almost say, up until the last ten days, maybe they thought they would win this really easily than the big guns came out, the prime minister borisjohnson, the chancellor and the previous prime Minister Theresa may all appeared and perhaps in the last few days they started to think perhaps they started to think perhaps they were in some trouble. Historically, of course, conservative governments tend to suffer set backs like this. Lib dems generally outperform their record. How worried you think the conservatives will be now . ,. , , now . Obviously, the conservatives now . Obviously, the conservatives still i now . Obviously, the conservatives still nationally have a massive majority so i do not think Boris Johnson have a massive majority so i do not think borisjohnson will be panicking just yet but it is interesting, suddenly talking to the Liberal Democrats in advance of this election, they thought because it was a By Election maybe they had a better chance. In the 13 previous full elections, because it is one with a majority but you can never tell with the By Election. The number of people voting goes down. They may have impacted on things. The greens finished third, that is a massive Result And Labour have only finished fourth. , , im joined now by lib dem activist max langer. Thank you very much for coming on.

Lets get some of the days other news the Israeli Military has launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip for the second time in three nights. The Israeli Defense Forces said theyd struck military compounds and a Rocket Launch Site belonging to the militant group hamas, which runs gaza.

North koreas leader, kim jong un, has said his country needs to prepare for both Dialogue And Confrontation with the united states, under president biden.

Theres been a Minutes Applause during Denmarks Euro 2020 match against belgium, as a show of support for the danish midfielder, christian eriksen. Hes recovering in hospital after suffering a Cardiac Arrest in the same stadium on saturday. The Us Supreme Court has ruled against the latest republican challenge to the affordable Care Act, known as 0bamacare. Its survived the third attempt to strike it down, which was led by 18 republican controlled states. President biden described the decision as a big win for the american people while Barack 0bama said it showed that his Signature Policy was here to stay. Earlier i spoke with our north america correspondent, david willis. This is, as he said, the third time the highest court in the land here in the united states has been called on to consider a challenge to the so called affordable Care Act and the third time it has rejected that challenge and what makes this all the more remarkable this time around is that the margin seems to be going down as far as the supreme court is concerned. This was thrown out by of 7 2 of the 9 paneljudges there. That is a sign, i think that even though the court is getting more conservative, care of the three justices that Donald Trump was able to appoint during his four years in office, it appears to be hardening its opinion as far as the affordable Care Act is concerned and to put in your words, seems to have found that it is indeed here to stay. Given that it is here to stay, not greeted with a huge surprise, this decision, by the supreme court, which leads to the question, why take this action . Why were the republicans so determined to pursue this . You know what, it has been something that has preoccupied republicans for more than a decade now, since this legislation was first passed, and they believe that it represents a move to a socialised form of healthcare, they argue as well, accurately in some cases, that the Coverage Costs for people with private insurance have gone up as a result of the affordable Care Act but the bottom line here is that it remains very popular with the american people. A poll that was carried out in february of this year showed 54 of the american people believe that the affordable Care Act is a good thing. Stay with us on bbc news.

The latest headlines the Liberal Democrats have won an historic By Election in Chesham And Amersham, taking a parliamentary seat that has always been held by the conservatives. The Us Supreme Court has rejected the latest republican led challenge to the law known as 0bamacare the third time the law has survived a vote. Its close to eight months since war broke out in ethiopias, Tigray Region and there continue to be reports of abuses. The un warns of an imminent famine, unless drastic measures are taken fast. Despite repeated international calls for hostilities to end to allow humanitarian access, Aid Agencies are not reaching all those in need. Kalkidan yibeltal sent this report. Gitesh has had Heart Problems since he was a child. He needed constant medical attention. But as tigray� s war raged, it became difficult to find care and food. Translation we had medical appointments, but roads were closed due to the war. So we had to walk for three days without food. This affected my son a lot. Before the war, we had hospitals and health centres. Since it started, we literally had nothing to eat. 40 Minutes North of mekelle. This was a clinic, then a Military Camp and now a distribution centre. Many people fled to the mountains when the fighting began. Lots are still far from the reach of Aid Agencies and cameras. The un says famine is imminent in tigray. They warn that hundreds of thousands could starve. Travelling through Tigray And Meeting people whose lives have been shattered by this bloody conflict, which is now into its eighth month, one just gets the sense of the immensity of its tragic impact. We came here in march, and returning months later we could easily understand that there are so many untold stories, particularly in rural areas that are not easily accessible, and tragedy is still unfolding. There are at least 14 bodies buried here, mostly young men. One of them is lemlimas son. She last saw him being led away by eritrean soldiers, allies of the government. Translation we had fled from this area fearing for our lives, since there was fighting. But we came back, thinking it was better. Right after, they took my son, saying they needed him. After two weeks, i realised he was killed. My son didnt participate in any political activities. He was just a day labourer. Its been nearly seven months since the government declared victory over tigray� s rulers, turned rebels, the tplf. But the road from mekelle indicates otherwise. And it seems that for any healing to begin, first the conflict must end. Kalkidan yibeltal, bbc news, tigray. Now, Warner Music Group is buying David Guettas recorded Music Catalogue from the past two decades, along with any future recordings, in a deal rumoured to be around 100 million. Hes worked with everyone from Justin Bieber to Snoop Dogg to rihanna. He has sold over 50 Million records during his career and his work has been streamed 14 Billion times. One of his biggest hits was � titanium, which featured sia. Lets take a listen. Im bulletproof, nothing to lose Fire Away, Fire Away ricochet, you take your aim Fire Away, Fire Away you shoot me down, but i wont fall i am titanium you shoot me down, but i wont fall i am titanium earlier, i spoke to thom geier, Executive Editor of the Entertainment And Business magazine The Wrap and hes in new york. I asked him if he thought the deal was worth it. He certainly has a Track Record to back it up but he is not collecting anywhere near the amount that Bob Dylan got for selling his Song Catalogue just last december at 300 million. But dylan is a slightly bigger name, isnt he . They laugh and for a longer period of time. Poor david has some catching up to do. I appreciate that. I can understand why a Back Catalogue, but one of the things that interested me is that theyre also buying the rights to his future music. Is not a common occurrence . No. This is a very innovative deal. We have seen a wave of Music Catalogue sales in the last year or so, we seemed to mushroomed with everyone from paul simon, the beach boys, neilyoung, stevie nicks, shakira, all selling their Back Catalogue and publishing rights, but this is for actual future recordings, which is an innovative twist on these deals we have seen. That is a bit of a risk. It could pay off. He could have hits for the next 20 years and then obviously theyre laughing. But if his form takes a Dip Or Something happens, then that is the risk they are taking, isnt it . Thats correct. One thing that is true about all of these Catalogue Deals is that Music Revenues are consistent. So, there tends not to be ebbs and flows and theres the chance to have outsize performance, if someones major act suddenly gets on a Netflix Show and that takes off on the charts. Talk to me about streaming in all of this. Because we have heard plenty from smaller artists who really suffer in the age of streaming. It doesnt seem to be the case for the bigger ones . So, the bigger artists do get a substantial amount of money from streaming and its consistent money, even if its a smaller share than what they were getting from radio, its consistent money for these Music Companies buy these catalogues, good for them. And musicians havent been able to have tour or have Concert Sales for the last year. So they are able to cash in at the moment when they are not able to make money on stage and in arenas. That is true. So many artists hit over the last year and it will take a long time to recover. A last thought than on David Guetta himself. Do you think this puts a new level of pressure on him now, next time he goes into the studio . I think there is always pressure on these Music Artists to come up with the next big blockbuster hit. And, you know, the fact that there are other people riding on that outcome, maybe a little bit more pressure than usual. Our thanks to thom geier. The summer of tennis is well and truly underway, roland garros has just wrapped up, were 10 days out from wimbledon and then its onto the olympics. But, for personal reasons and in light of the pandemic, a number of big names wont be attending. Tanya dendrinos has the details. World number two and a four time Grand Slam champion, atjust 23, Naomi 0saka is already the Shining Star of tennis. But two weeks ago, as she withdrew from the french open, it became clear the weight of The World was on her shoulders. She was fined for not taking part in a News Conference following her first round match. With organisers saying she could face expulsion. Instead, 0saka pulled out, saying she would be taking a break from the sport to protect her Mental Health after battling depression and anxiety. Now, shes announced her withdrawal from wimbledon. The all England Club saying, she will be greatly missed, adding it looks forward to welcoming her back, next year. There was, however, a silver lining. Confirmation 0sakas sights remain upon the olympics, making a return in front of her fans next month. It comes just hours after 20 time Grand Slam champion, rafael nadal, announced his withdrawal from the championships and the olympic games. Dominic thiem also pulling out of tokyo. The State Of Emergency in the city is to be lifted five weeks out from the start of the games. A decision some locals are questioning. Translation it is so obvious they are only lifting it to hold the tokyo 0lympics. They cant even hide that. Its so apparent and it makes me frustrated. We worked so hard to bring down the covid 19 cases, but whats the point if we invite people to come from overseas . No international fans will be permitted at the delayed games, but concerns remain about the olympics triggering a surge of infections. The prime minister has asked japanese fans to watch from home. An official decision on Spectator Numbers is yet to be made, but could come as early as next week. Tanya dendrinos, bbc news. Before i go, Take A Look at these pictures of Flying Cars, sort of.

You can reach Me On twitter. Im lvaughanjones. Iam i am lewis vaughanjones. And this is bbc news. Bye bye. Hello there. Friday is set to be another day of Split Weather fortunes, with largely dry and often sunny weather across northern and western areas. Further south and east, well, the chance once again of some thunderstorms or at least some torrential downpours of rain. Feeding up from the near continent, you can see this Weather System Herejust fringing into South Eastern areas, whereas this ridge of high pressure is going to be keeping things mainly dry settled across a part of scotland, northern ireland, North West england, wales, and the far south west, after a fairly cool, Fresh Start. There will be some spells of sunshine and just the odd shower. But down toward the South East, you can see more in the way of cloud and some sporadic outbreaks of rain. Now, dont take the detail on this chart too literally, its often hard to pin down the detail in these thundery scenarios, but there will be some heavy bursts of rain, perhaps as far as the west country, the west midlands, up to Parts Of Lincolnshire and east yorkshire. The greatest chance of seeing Thunder And Lightning is across parts of East Anglia and the far South East, where you will also notice the strength of a keen, north easterly breeze. So while it will still feel humid here, temperatures will be a good few degrees down on where they have been. Maybejust 16 there in norwich. 20 in the sunshine in plymouth, thats the expected high. But more generally, were looking at temperatures in the mid to high teens. Now, as we head through friday night, well see this wet weather clearing off into the north sea. Still some cloud affecting eastern areas, clearer spells further west and further north and quite a cool, Fresh Start to the weekend for most. A little bit fresher than it has been, even across the South East corner. On saturday, we find ourselves between weather systems, so that means, actually, a decent amount of dry weather. Quite a cloudy start for some, i think we should see some spells of sunshine, chance of one or two showers here and there, and more especially, creeping up from the south through the latter part of the afternoon. Temperatures not doing too badly in the strong june sunshine, maybe 23 degrees there in liverpool. Always a little Bit Cooler the further north you look across the uk. But for sunday, well, the Weather Picture is a lot more complex. Low Pressure Swinging in from the west, this frontal system driving its way northwards, what it means that is most places will see some outbreaks of rain from time to time throughout the day, could be some heavy, thundery downpours creeping in towards the south, and those temperatures ranging from 21 in london, 22 in norwich, tojust 12 degrees in aberdeen.
