welcome to the bbc news at one. the conservatives have suffered losses in the local elections in england, with seats being taken by labour, the liberal democrats and the green party. labour has done well in london, taking control of three councils — including westminster, which has been in conservative hands since it was created in 1964, along with wandsworth and barnet. but outside london, labour's gains have so far have been modest. our latest figures show the conservatives have lost 136 council seats, while labour have gained 39. the liberal democrats are up 63 seats, and the green party 24. counts in several england councils, as well as in scotland, wales and northern ireland, are still under way, so there are more results to come. our political correspondent nick eardley has

while borisjohnson is getting some of the blame, there hasn't been a clamour of senior tories saying that the prime minister needs to rethink his position. and although labour may be delighted with their result in london, in the wider country, it's a mixed picture, and some will think the party needs to do a lot better if it's going to win a general election. the biggest gains so far have been

northern welcome of pouring rain and a cup of tea, which is what he is currently having inside. this is the obvious place for him to come in the north, few major labour gains outside london, the newly created unitary authority here replacing the former cumbria county council. there were 43 seats up for grabs here, labour have taken 30 of them, and this is a classic tory—labour battleground, and the leader of the city council here has said the prime minister must bear some of the responsibility for the loss here, but it has been difficult to cut through with local issues when everyone wanted to talk about partygate and other national issues, and labour have said the same, that national issues played on the doorstep for them as well. but it hasn't been as positive for labour across the north of england. in hull, they lost the council, now in control of the liberal democrats, and in hartlepool they haven't made any gains, the tories have made gains, and danny savage has been gauging reaction in the town. hartlepool, one of those traditional labour strongholds that just last year was won by the conservatives. that direction of travel hasn't really changed. plenty of people voted

it as a victory, but people here say they often vote one way in a local election in a general election. labour did increase its vote share here, but hartlepool demonstrates there is still work to do if it is to retake cards in the north. danny savage, bbc news, hartlepool. —— hearts. at the other end of the country, labour regained control of southampton city council from the conservatives. the new council leader, satvir kaur, said the cost of living crisis was one of the main reasons for her party's victory, adding that people's trust in the prime minister had "completely dissipated". duncan kennedy reports from southampton. it is officially known as sea city. in recent years, southampton has been more like seesaw city, with council control changing hands. last night, it was labour who beat the conservatives, gaining four councillors, and the tories losing four, creating a clear message for the labour winner here. time and time again, on the doorstep, people were really feeling let down by this conservative government. whether it was over crime or the cost of living, they did want to send a message. both party leaders campaigned in the south, a place multidimensional in terms of income, race and politics. today, some of those who voted gave us their thoughts. may i ask how you voted, and what was the main issue for you? yes, ivoted labour. this whole scandal with the party, we lost family members. then to find out that whilst we can't see people, to see them depart the world, there are people having parties. what was the main issue for you, for voting? the war in ukraine, and just whatl is going on in that country as well. and the issues after brexit. the conservatives held on to places like fareham but lost ground here in portsmouth to the lib dems, the tories describing it as blood bath. lib dems and labour were celebrating in west 0xfordshire where there is now overall control. another of the assorted set of results for the main parties in the south. duncan kennedy, bbc news. ballot counting in the rest of the uk only got under way this morning. in northern ireland, 90 members of the stormont assembly are being elected across 18 constituencies. more than 1,200 councillors will be decided in scotland's 32 local authorities, while more than 1,100 seats are being contested across all of wales' 22 councils. we'll hear from chris page in belfast and lorna gordon in glasgow in a moment, first let's hear from tomos morgan. we're expecting the first results welsh results soon. tomos. yeah, we should be expecting that in the next _ tomos. yeah, we should be expecting that in the next half— tomos. yeah, we should be expecting that in the next half hour _ tomos. yeah, we should be expecting that in the next half hour over- tomos. yeah, we should be expecting that in the next half hour over in i that in the next half hour over in west wales, and since the brexit vote in 2016, the tories have been making gains and tells 2019. since the pandemic, labour have slowly been making gains, as we saw in the senedd elections last year, when they did much better than expected. they lost a huge number of seats in the local elections in 2017, but they are quietly confident here, quietly confident of winning back the three councils where they lost a majority across south wales, and really hopeful of making significant gains in north—east wales, the historical heartland where they have lost votes to the tories in recent times. the tories in wales, i think, are far less confident than in england, they are now really worried about losing their only overall control in monmouthshire, they could be slipping away from them. what will be interesting is to say whether plaid cymru can capitalise on the lack of tory votes this time around, if it does happen, and take another council, possibly in north or west wales. the first results will be coming within the next hour. a form of proportional representation in scotland, is also starting to come in, some big themes to look out for, the snp have won the most seats in the last ten elections, and that record is likely to remain unbroken, but will they make gains or losses, and how will that play into their push for a second independence referendum by the end of next year? of equal interest is the battle for second place, the scottish conservatives made big gains back in 2017, almost doubling their tally, moving into second place, but will partygate have an effect here? if they drop back, who will be held responsible, douglas ross, the leader in scotland, or borisjohnson, the prime minister? and do not cause scottish labour are hoping for a resurgence, increasing their share of the vote, and to move back into second place, to regain some momentum after so many years in the wilderness north of the border. those results for the 1200 council seats and 32 local authorities here in scotland will start coming in thick and fast now, we expect all the results to be declared by late afternoon or early evening. well, at this very early stage in the account for the northern ireland assembly election, the party, which is by far the happiest is the cross community alliance party, it is expected to make significant gains, taking seats in some constituencies where they have never won before, moving from fifth in the stormont pecking order to at least third and maybe even, on a very good day, into second place. the nationalist sdlp and the ulster unionist party seem to be pretty nervous about how things are going, so where does that leave the two biggest parties? for the last five stormont elections, for 20 years, the dup have won the most seats and sinn fein have come second. if, as polls have suggested, sinn fein, first at this time, that would mean michelle 0'neill, the party vice president, would be in line to be the first ever irish nationalist to be northern ireland's first minister, so whether the dup or sinn fein come out on top will really depend on which of those parties sustains the fewer losses. the dup vote in some areas is coming under pressure from more hardline unionist parties, the traditional unionist voice, and sinn fein seem to think their vote is holding up pretty steadily. we are expecting the first official results in the next hour or so, the counting will probably go on until the early hours of tomorrow morning. let's take a closer look at all the results in england so far with newsnight�*s lewis goodall. let's look at some of those results in more detail. london has been by far the best result for the labour party, and catastrophic for the conservative party. they are almost an endangered species now in london, the conservatives. although one got all of the attention for historical reasons, for my money, westminster was far more extraordinary. this has been conservative dominated since its creation, since harold wilson was prime minister in 1964. labour notjust edging it, but completely dominating it themselves, winning 13 seats through the conservatives losing 13. wandsworth was also mentioned, good results for labour across the capital. it's not the only place they had decent results. we just had this result from rossendale, lancashire, not somewhere labour was expecting to win. it had been a labour party councilfor many years. win. it had been a labour party council for many years. after the drubbing the party got in last year's local elections, they lost it. they managed to gain it back. this is one of the stories of this election. essentially, the labour party is not doing as badly as it did in 2019, not doing as badly as it did in 2021. basically doing about as well as it did in 2018. the question is, is that going to be enough for the labour party in terms of winning a majority, or even being the largest party at the next election? that is the question dominating. the conservatives did 0k as well, in particular parts of the country. if we look at nuneaton, it was a seat which was a totemic result of the 2015 election, the sort of seat that the labour party might historically be hoping to win back. yet it is just edging away from the labour party, drifting with each electoral cycle. it was actually a labour council until 2018. now a seat that once upon a time the labour party would have hoped to win seems to be drifting further and further away. the lib dems also very interesting, making lots of advances in southern england, wokingham, for example, i can show you quickly that they are pushing this into no overall control. a similar picture across the south of england. a mixed picture, some solid labour gains, conservatives not doing as badly as some feared. conservatives not doing as badly as some feared-— conservatives not doing as badly as some feared. ., ,, , ., , . ., some feared. thank you very much for now. let's hear more from our political correspondent nick eardley. at westminster, as ever. as we have been reflecting, some important results yet to come through? there absolutely are. _ results yet to come through? there absolutely are. of _ results yet to come through? there absolutely are. of course, - results yet to come through? there absolutely are. of course, the i results yet to come through? ii—urr absolutely are. of course, the local issues we have been hearing about through the programme will feed into them. i think we are getting a bit of an idea about what this means for the bigger political picture. the question was always with these results be enough for some conservatives to change their mind about boris johnson's future. at the moment, it doesn't seem that way. here in london, there are tories who are very nervous, tory mps who will be looking at small majorities and wondering what might happen at the next general election. in parts of the south of england, there will be many tories come in places like somerset, who are extremely nervous that a previously safe tory seats might at some point fall to the lib dems, based on these results. but for borisjohnson, it doesn't mean a big moment that is certainly going to tip his leadership into a new crisis, even if it does me that so the questions have been asking over the questions have been asking over the last few weeks about his leadership continue. for labour, these are good results, but they are not brilliant results. 0utside these are good results, but they are not brilliant results. outside the capital, as we have been hearing, there is still a bit of a challenge for the labour party to get the results it really wants. there have been changes to the political map, some bad news for labour, some good news for labour, the liberal democrats and the greens. but this is not a radically different political landscape this afternoon. nick, for now, thank you very much. if you'd like to find the result in your area, head to the bbc news website or app and enter your postcode. you'll also find plenty of election analysis, and the latest reports from our teams around the country. the time is1:20. our top story this lunchtime: labour takes control of five flagship councils in london that have been held by the conservatives for decades, but it failed to make similar gains elsewhere in the local elections. in the last few minutes, the convenience store chain mccoll�*s has collapsed into administration. we will get the latest with our business correspondent. coming up on the bbc news channel, west ham manager david moyes apologises after being sent off during his side's europa league semifinal defeat to eintracht frankfurt for kicking the ball at a ball boy. the united nations says a third operation is under way to try to rescue civilians from the ukrainian city of mariupol. a convoy is due in the beseiged south—eastern port city today to get hundreds of people out of the azovstal steelworks, which is under attack by russian forces. there are thought to be 200 civilians, including at least 20 children, still in underground bunkers at the plant. russia's president, vladimir putin, says ukraine should order its fighters there to surrender. elsewhere, where russian forces have retreated, whole towns are having to be completely rebuilt. 0ur correspondent james waterhouse sent this report from makariv, a town just outside the capital. a warning that you may find parts of it upsetting. makariv isn't a big place — 10,000 people live here. but the russians saw it as an important route to kyiv. this town found itself at the heart of the battle for the capital. it's been a month since the invaders pulled back. the effects of what they did are only starting to be felt. ivan's worked in this uniform factory for 32 years. this is what's left of his business after it was shelled three times. translation: this i was my second home. and when you find out that your home is burnt and destroyed, my heart ached and my soul was in pain. ivan's described the people who did this as non—human. his makariv is still in the middle of its darkest chapter. a few miles away, we're taken here — to the body of a man found in a shallow grave next to what were the russian trenches. he's thought to be a civilian. police say they've discovered around 100 bodies in the area. many more are missing. posters are dotted around the town. however, spring is bringing some signs of healing, this week seeing the market come back. i reported on towns like makariv for weeks. we knew this was where some of the heaviest fighting was happening, and being here for the first time really makes you think of the unimaginable things which occurred. the route to recovery is going to be long and difficult, but it's a path people here are determined to take. translation: it's difficult, - of course, but we keep on living. our house is destroyed — not completely, so we have a place to stay, but it's damaged. we'll see how it goes. it's hard now, but we carry on. and so does this war. the threat of further attacks hasn't gone away. james waterhouse, bbc news, in makariv. the detained premier of the british virgin islands andrew foye has been removed from his post. his deputy, natalio wheatley, has been sworn in as head of government. the move came shortly after the national assembly of the british 0verseas territory passed a no—confidence vote in mr foye, who was arrested in florida last week and accused of drug smuggling. a teenager has been jailed for six and a half for the manslaughter of john reid. the 15—year—old was cleared of murder last month. a victim impact statement read out in court on behalf of the young boy's mother said her son had been chased down by a lynch mob before he was stabbed in the heart. in the last few minutes, the convenience chain of mccoll�*s says it has appointed administrators, after morrisons put in a last—minute rescue bid for the store. let's find out the latest from emma simpson. what is happening? this out the latest from emma simpson. what is happening?— what is happening? this has been a very fast-moving — what is happening? this has been a very fast-moving morning. - what is happening? this has been a very fast-moving morning. as i what is happening? this has been a very fast-moving morning. as you i very fast—moving morning. as you mentioned, morrisons, putting in a last—minute rescue deal to take on the majority of the stores and the staff, as well as taking on the pension commitments and the debt. this followed on from the news yesterday that mccoll�*s said it was effectively running out of cash, and unless it got extra funding, it was likely to go into administration. there have been talked all morning. in a statement on the last few minutes, mccoll�*s said, although significant progress had been made, talks were constructive, it said the banks were not satisfied with the outcome, they did not get an acceptable outcome, there was no alternative but to place the company in administration. pwc has been appointed, and their task is to try to organise a sale for all or part of the business. they could still do a deal with morrisons or another party. we understand that billionaire brothers from blackburn who now own asda are in the fray. it is quite fast—moving, we will have to wait and see what happens. for the 16,000 workers, more than 1000 small stores across the country, these are worrying times. for more than 20 years, will young's twin brother struggled with an addiction to alcohol. in 2020 his family received the news that rupert had taken his own life. now for the first time, the singer has shared his story in a documentary for channel four. will young's been telling our entertainment correspondent colin paterson why he decided to speak out. rupert was my twin brother, and he struggled with alcohol from the age of... ..probably about 18, yes. through to july 2020, when he killed himself. will young, this is a brave subject to be talking about so openly. what made you want to do it? well, alcoholism, i don't think, is spoken about enough anyway. but also, what it's like to live with someone that has alcoholism, you know, the family, what that can do to a family. it's a complex thing, because i miss my brother, my best friend, my twin. and i don't miss the alcoholic. this is the sitting room where rupert slept. my day would start, i would come in, i mean, check if he was all right, i'd normally have to clear up some sort of mess, so either like he was sick... he would normally have peed on the sofa.
