Baroness Warsi resigns from the government over Gaza.

Foreign minister Baroness Warsi resigns saying she can no longer support government policy on Gaza. Plus how a woman with 'locked-in syndrome' finished her degree by blinking.

David Cameron faces a rebellion from his own party over his position on the conflict in Gaza after the foreign minister Baroness Warsi resigned - saying she could no longer support government policy. Her former colleague at the foreign office Alastair Burt tells us her decision is "significant" and will be a huge disappointment to ministers. Chancellor George Osborne says it's " unnnecessary".  Plus a mother with locked in syndrome has passed her university degree - even though every exam took her three weeks to finish. Her dad tells us how she completed every essay and exam using eye movements on a special laptop.
