Dj and Producer David Guetta sells his catalogue of music for 100 million. Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. We start with some political news from the uk that broke in the last couple of hours the Liberal Democrats have won an historic By Election in Chesham And Amersham, overturning a majority of more than 16,000. Greene, sarah louise, Liberal Democrats. 21,517 votes. Cheering and applause. That was the moment the Lib Dems one. Dems won. The Liberal Democrats had been hoping for an upset in the safe conservative Seat And Party Leader Sir Ed davey tweeted that the result had sent a Shock Wave through british politics. The seat was held by former Welsh Secretary Cheryl gillan, who died in april. The Liberal Democrats Sarah Green won by more than 8000 votes. 0n the subject of strong and independent voices in our world, i have a message for every young woman out there. There will be people who will try to put you down, who will try to block your way and tell you that you cant. Im 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 by letting covid 19 ripped through the air for care homes, we will speak up for 3 Million people excluded from financial support through a pandemic, and we will challenge borisjohnson to be far more ambitious in tackling climate change, supporting our Frontline Workers and backing our small businesses. The Liberal Democrats will ensure that they will be held accountable and they will be scrutinised. Accountable and they will be scrutinised. ,. Sarah greene there. Earlier, i spoke to the bbc� s andy holmes, who was at the count in chesham, and he agreed this was a great result for the Lib Dems. Yeah, this has been a seat that has been conservative since 197a. If you look at the facts, the last 13 elections in Chesham And Amersham have seen the conservatives win by a majority of 10,000. You have to go back 100 years to the last time there was a liberal mp here, but that is whats happened this evening. When i spoke to the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats, daisy cooper, earlier on tonight, she said the party were under no illusions that they had a mountain to climb to win this election in the seat thats the bluest of the blue. But not only have they climbed the Mountain Tonight but theyve run down the other side with a swing of 25 on the vote from the previous election. Andy, what do you think is going on here . Is this you know, its a By Election is this clearly a collection of issues, national and local . What are the kind of issues that were being voted on . Well, if you look at whats happened in buckinghamshire locally, at the local elections this year, there has been a trend where the Lib Dems have done a lot better for instance, they took the Amersham Town Council there, with the mayor being now a liberal democrat, and in the unitary councils, where its been conservative, again, since the 1890s, they took 15 of the 147 seats. Ok, that still gives the conservatives 113, but that is 15 seats and making them the official opposition. So i think they were always optimistic that perhaps theyd do very well. They have also worked incredibly hard on this campaign. Their Leader Sir Ed davey, for instance, has been to the constituency 15 times during this election, and also they have done an awful lot of leafleting. I know from talking to the Liberal Democrats, they say that a lot of conservatives in Chesham And Amersham have spoken to them, feeling perhaps neglected and not having seen their previous mp during the campaigns as they had gone along. They also tell me that issues like hs2, which is obviously the Rail Line thats going to go through the middle of the chiltons, was a big issue, but the main thing that they talk to me about is the changes to the planning laws and the impact that could have on the chiltons, so plenty that they have done on this campaign. Whereas, you look at the conservatives, you could almost say up until the last ten days maybe they thought they were going to win this really easily but then, the big guns came out the Prime Minister boris johnson, Chancellor Rishi Sunak and the previous prime Minister Theresa may all appeared, so maybe in the last few days, the tories started to think perhaps they were in some trouble. Interesting stuff. And we should say, historically, of course, governments and in this case, the conservatives tend to suffer setbacks like this. Lib dems historically always quite good in By Elections, kind of outperform their general record. How worried do you think the conservatives will be now . Well, obviously, the conservatives still nationally have a massive majority so i do not think borisjohnson will be panicking just yet but it is interesting to see, suddenly talking to the Liberal Democrats in advance of this election, they thought, because it was a By Election, that maybe they had a better chance. As i said, in the 13 previous full elections, the conservatives have won with a majority, but you can never tell with a By Election. Often, the number of people voting goes down. Maybe thats impacted on things as well. But if you look at some of the other parties tonight, id like to highlight the fact that the greens finished third, that is a massive result in Chesham And Amersham, and labour have only finished fourth. Earlier, i spoke to liberal Democrat Activist Max langer. He had put in 35,000 steps, going Door To door, getting people out to vote. I asked him if he was surprised at how large the victory was. I mean, a 16,000 majority overturning that in the first place is a big, Big Task but to win by 8,000 is even bigger, and so i think a lot of us were hopeful that we were going to win tonight but i think 8000 was probably beyond our wildest expectations. It is certainly very impressive locally. Ed davey, the leader, saying this has sent a Shock Wave through british politics. I mean, we need to keep things in perspective it is one result, isnt it . Its hardly a Shock Wave through british politics. Well, i think it definitely points towards the trendlines that we are seeing in politics. You know, hartlepool we were all talking about a couple of weeks ago, and this time we are seeing the party that won that hartlepool By Election lose massively. And so, were seeing how, in the south of england, were seeing a lot of people looking towards a more liberal version of politics and they have found it with the Liberal Democrats. Well, but not many people were looking towards the Liberal Democrats in the last election, were they . Well, we increased our number of votes at the last election and i mean, i do not think many Liberal Democrats were saying it was an outstanding success. But what were seeing, in lots of these areas, we are able to make gains incrementally. And i think we are on a really good trajectory to get more mps in the next elections and also more people elected at local levels as well, where quite a lot of change happens in our communities. Is this a Ringing Endorsement for the Liberal Democrats or is this a Protest Vote against the conservatives here . Well, i mean, knocking on doors in Chesham And Amersham, earlier today, it was a lot of people saying i am fed up of having the conservatives taking my vote for granted. And the things that you are saying to me, of how you are going to be standing up as a real local representative, and now they will have a really strong mp for them, they are really looking forward to that. So i think there is definitely a Protest Vote in there but they are also rally happy with the positive message we are able to put towards them. And lastly, just for you guys, the campaign is out on the streets, as youre saying, and all the party officials locally, people you have spoken to, has there been a sense of shock . I think we were all surprised by how well it went. I mean, i am only about an hour away from chesham and i travelled down to help on Polling Day Today and theres been people from all over the country who have travelled down to help us win. And theres a lot of enthusiasm within the Liberal Democrats for this victory and we are all ecstatic with the result. Max langer there. Lets get some of the days other news. The israeli military has launched Air Strikes on the Gaza Strip for the second time in three nights.

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. Heres our North America Correspondent david willis. This is, as he said, the third time that the highest this is, as you said, the third time that 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 that it has rejected that challenge. And what makes this all the more remarkable, i think, this time around is that the margins seem to be going down as far as the supreme court is concerned. This was thrown out by a majority of 7 2 of the nine paneljudges there. And 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 it in your words, lewis, seeming to affirm that it is, indeed, here to stay. Given that it is here to stay, not greeted with huge surprise, this decision, by the supreme court, which then of course leads to the question, why take this action . Why were these 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, lewis, and they believe that it represents a move to a socialised form of healthcare, if you like. 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 just 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 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. A0 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 1a 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. Warner Music Group is buying David Guettas recorded Music Catalogue from the past two decades along with any future recording 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 1a 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 Entertanment And Business magazine the wrap. I asked him if he thought David Guetta 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, and so that is a very 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. Thom geierfrom Business Magazine the wrap. The summer of tennis is well and truly under way, roland garros has just wrapped up, were ten 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 Osaka 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, osaka 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 osakas sights remain upon the olympics, making a return in front of her home 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 olympics. 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 in 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, let us Take A Look at some flying cars.

Im Lewis Vaughan jones im 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.
