This is classic, classic ever news At five o'clock I'm Paul Osborne. The speaker of the House of Commons is to resign. Michael Martin has chaired proceedings in the chamber for nine years, but his handling of the row over MPs expenses has seen him become the first speaker for more than 300 years to be forced from office. I have decided that I will relinquish the Office of Speaker on Sunday 21st of June. This will allow the house to proceed to elect a new speaker on Monday, 22nd of June. Yesterday's expression of profound sorrow did not stop MPs openly calling on Mr Martin to step down. 23 MPs signed an early day motion telling him to go. He's the most senior casualty of the expenses scandal, but the prime minister has warned Labour MPs of their parliamentary careers will be over if they are found to have broken the rules. No member of parliament and no candidate will stand for the Labour Party at the next election. If they defy the rules, no minister will be in the cabinet or in the government and future if it is proven that they have defied the rules, he has to give his reaction to the speaker's decision to resign in the next are a new report says My five was overstretched in the years before the July 7th attacks and therefore could not properly check the terrorist links of the plot's ringleader.

Some heavy rain and thunder to start in the south but clearing later temperatures down to eight Celsius. That's a news at four minutes past five
