mothers who have lost their sons to violent crime. and when you turn 25, should you be given £10,000 to help with a deposit towards or a house or to pay for education or skills? it's one suggestion today help fix the broken intergenerational contract between young people and pensioners. hello. welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning. so are you an adult who's one of a growing number being diagnosed with adhd? tell us about your symptoms. how has it affected your life? how long was it before you got a diagnosis? and how is your treatment working? we will feed your experiences into the conversations about adult adhd this morning. do get in touch on all the stories

we're talking about this morning — use the hashtag #victorialive. if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. our top story today... donald trump will make a long—awaited announcement today on whether he'll abandon the iran nuclear deal. he's previously been highly critical of the 2015 agreement, describing it as "insane" and the "worst deal ever". britain and other western nations have, in recent weeks, tried to persuade the us president not to pull out of the agreement, insisting it remains the best way to prevent tehran developing a nuclear weapon. peter bowes reports. boris johnson's breakfast show appeal to the president was a last—ditch attempt to get donald trump to fall into line, friendly advice from a political ally. we think that what you can do is be tougher on iran, address the concerns of the president and not throw the baby out with the bath water. in another interview, the foreign secretary emphasised that a bad deal was better than no deal. within hours, donald trump announced on twitter that he was ready to show his hand. we'll know his decision later today.

if the us walks away, it would overturn barack 0bama's signature foreign policy achievement. a partnership with five other nations to curb iran's nuclear ambitions. it lifted economic sanctions in return for limitations on the country's nuclear energy programme, a deal mr trump describes as a disaster. the iran deal was one of the worst and most one—sided transactions, the united states has ever entered into. it's insane, it's ridiculous, it should never have been made. boris johnson didn't get to meet the president, but he had face—to—face meetings with senior administration officials, including mike pompeo, the new secretary of state, who said the iran deal is built on lies. everything points to donald trump saying we are out. peter bowes, bbc news. we will talk more about that at

around 945. annita mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. britain's rail companies are launching a review into the way train fares are designed and regulated. the rail delivery group, which represents industry firms, says that passengers aren't always offered the cheapest fares, because of what it says are long—standing anomalies in the way tickets are issued. it also claims 55 million different fare combinations exist in the current system. a public consultation on the plans will be launched next month. we have made a commitment as part of a long—term plan at working together as an industry, both private and public sides. —— we need to drive reform so customers know they are getting the right ticket, they have greater confidence. the regulation designed in the 19905 still drives the regulation designed in the 19905 5till drives the structure of the fair is 5till drives the structure of the fair i5a 5till drives the structure of the fair is a system, and since then we have had ma55ive changes in the way we work and travel, we have much

more flexible lives and we want flexible ticketing. bori5johnson has described one of the government's post—brexit customs proposals as "crazy". in an interview with the daily mail, the foreign secretary said one of the ideas downing street is considering for a customs deal with the eu would stop britain taking back control of trade. number ten said the cabinet was agreed on the principles for a future customs agreement and more work was being done on the specific details. a 24—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a siege in oxford. police, who'd exchanged gunfire with an armed man at a property in the city centre, say the incident ended peacefully. one person received treatment for non—life—threatening injuries. a 30—year—old man, reported to be a delivery driver, has become the fifth person to be shot in london during the long bank holiday weekend. police were called to the attack in new cross in south—east london yesterday afternoon. the man's wounds aren't life—threatening. on saturday 17—year—old rhyhiem ain5worth barton was shot dead in kennington. politicians are calling for more to be done after the weekend of violence.

a group looking at the economic differences between old and young people has recommended that 25—year—olds should receive a £10,000 payment to help them onto the property ladder and working pensioners should contribute more to the nhs. the resolution foundation intergenerational commi55ion claims radical reforms are needed to stop under—305 having a poorer life than their parents. 0ur economics correspondent andy verity reports. a family gathering in cannock, staffordshire, on the left, stephanie garden was born into the post—war baby—boom generation that enjoyed higher incomes and more wealth than their parents. her daughter karen, who is a8, hoped for the same but her grandson dan, born in the 19905, has been dealt a far weaker hand. dan's age group earn no more than the same age group 15 years ago. they are half as likely to own a home at 30 and four times as likely to rent privately. while many pensioners are poor,

on average, tho5e drawing the state pension have higher incomes than they have ever had. after housing costs, they are higher than for people of working age. yet, if they work, pensioners pay no national insurance. there are inevitable pressures for public spending to go up on health care and social care. and it is reasonable to expect the baby boomers, who have a very substantial part of the nation's wealth, to make that contribution towards meeting those costs, especially as it will be for services from which they them5elve5 directly benefit. among the commission's recommendations are 2.3 billion more for the nhs, paid for by national insurance on pen5ioner5‘ earning5 and all 25—year—olds will get a £10,000 citizens inheritance which could be paid for by 5crapping inheritance tax and instead taxing large ca5h gifts. i don't think the young ones today have got it as easy as what some people think. i think it's quite difficult for them.

politicians don't like annoying the grey vote but the intergenerational commi55ion says that to close the financial generation gap, something has to be done. andy verity, bbc. 2000 people have now been evacuated from their homes on hawaii's big island as the kilauea volcano continues to erupt, destroying dozens of homes. officials on the island say they are particularly concerned by reserves of natural gas 5tored at a power plant close to the lava flow and the potentially deadly release of sulphur dioxide into the air. at one point molten rock burst more than 200 feet into the air close to residential areas. when you log on to your social media accounts this morning, chances are you'll be greeted by some of the incredible outfits from new york's met gala. the suits and dresses worn by celebrities to the annual fundraiser always cause a stir and this year was no exception, with a theme of "heavenly bodies: fashion and the catholic imagination". 0ur reporter nada tawfik was on the red carpet. the grand 5tairca5e of the met gala

was full of divine inspiration. angelic halos, bejewelled crosses and flowing robes ruled the red carpet. the theme of this year's co5tume ball was ‘heavenly bodies and the catholic imagination‘, so the who's who of fashion, hollywood sports and music dressed in their sunday's best. i thought this theme was actually really playful and extremely meaningful and fun. there's just a lot you can do with such an incredible theme creatively. rihanna was a show stopper in this jewel—encrusted pope outfit. the singer was a co—ho5t of the evening along with donatella versace and amal clooney, who wore this foiled gown inspired by stained glass. it's not the easiest thing to manoeuvre, as you can imagine. look after look dazzled at fashion‘s biggest night. i think one of the most amazing things is to see people

really focus on fashion. i know the oscars, golden globes, it's about that industry and people like to dress for it, but this is about our industry. it is about designers being fearless and being able to create in a way they normally may not be able to create. it's always such a kind of a magical night, you feel like cinderella coming up the stairs. you know, getting dressed up and having such a fantasy. it may seem controversial to pair the superficial with the sacred, but the vatican has actually blessed this exhibition. they've lent dozens of rare items, including a tiara with 18,000 diamonds in it, to be displayed. many of the items have never been seen outside of the vatican before. this year involved actual negotiations with the vatican for a very long time and it's a wonderful thing to bring all of this extraordinary clothing and objects from the vatican. look, if some young person comes to see the fashion but 5ee5

the medieval exhibition as well, that's a great achievement. so the crossover i5 what i love about it. the invitation only event is always full of surprises and the designs never disappoint. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york. quite some looks, what do you think? that's a summary of the latest bbc new5 — more at 9.30. i think we might have called designer vera won first of all jennifer lopez and baz lerman, so apologies. maddy wants to talk about adhd in adults. she said on twitter this tiny year ago i had not held down a job for more than a few months since leaving uni. i was anxious, overwhelmed and distracted all the time. i started overwhelmed and distracted all the time. istarted medication overwhelmed and distracted all the time. i started medication in february 20 17th time. i started medication in february 2017th and today mark5

time. i started medication in february 2017th and today marks a yearin february 2017th and today marks a year in myjob. brilliant, thank you for those. we will bring you an exclusive film from jim reid in a condition more commonly associated with children. holly — mark williams is the world snooker champion again in what some are calling the best final of all time? it was nail—biting, probably a few people tuned in to the smitkova ju5t a couple of minutes la5t people tuned in to the smitkova ju5t a couple of minutes last night and could not turn it off. —— turned into the snookerfor could not turn it off. —— turned into the 5nookerforju5t could not turn it off. —— turned into the snooker forjust a couple of minutes. it was the closest final since 2005. it was 15 years ago that he la5t claimed the title and at the age of 43 he is the oldest winner since ray reardon in 1978. it really was unbelievable between these two legends. an incredible comeback from

john higgins at one point, fighting back from 14—7 behind to level at 15-15, but back from 14—7 behind to level at 15—15, but williams nudged ahead, making a century break to put in one frame from victory. it is an incredible game, clearing up to eventually win18—16. his children watching were not even born the last time he won. incredible. he did not actually qualify for the world championship la5t qualify for the world championship last at all. he had been set to pack the whole thing in but his wife convinced him to have another go. this is what he said afterward5. it is unbelievable. 12 months ago i wasn't even here. to come out and just to playjohn in the final is an experience in itself, i have not been here for a long time. the crowd have been fantastic tonight and all the way through, really, i can't believe it. la5t believe it. last time he won, in 2003, he

celebrated with a pint of milk and put himself straight to bed. this timei put himself straight to bed. this time i think it was a bit different, and he said he was going to party all night long. he is a man true to his word, look at this. he tweeted this just before 6am, he said the 5un this just before 6am, he said the sun will have to come up, 5till going. i think the 0 jesus speak for them5elve5. going. i think the 0 jesus speak for themselves. i am so pleased for him. -- i think themselves. i am so pleased for him. —— i think the emoji5 speak for them5elve5. —— i think the emoji5 speak for themselves. he promised to do a pre55 themselves. he promised to do a p ress c0 nfe re nce themselves. he promised to do a press conference naked ? themselves. he promised to do a press conference naked? he said it a5 press conference naked? he said it asa press conference naked? he said it a5 a joker early in the tournament, he was so convinced he would not win, but he is a man of his word, and here he is, emerging for his pre55 and here he is, emerging for his p ress c0 nfe re nce and here he is, emerging for his press conference naked barring the 5pon5or‘5 towle, thankfully, keeping his modesty. i think he probably regretted his decision, complaining it was cold in the media room. patel

was there at the orders of barry hearne, the world snooker chairman, 01’ hearne, the world snooker chairman, or he might felt cold! —— the towel was there at the orders. he says he i5 was there at the orders. he says he is already looking forward to next year. to think i will have a season like this next season is probably a bit silly of me to think i will carry on this form, but if i turn up next season and play like an absolute fish, i can't grumble. this season has made up for the last 15 years of playing absolute garbage. i'd love to see what doing like fish look5 i'd love to see what doing like fish looks like. he hasn't learned his le55on, he says if he wind5 next year he will be doing naked cartwheels. congratulations to him. good morning and welcome to the programme. now, as we've been talking about, adhd is a disorder usually associated with children but we can reveal the fastest growing group of people being diagnosed

with it are adults. left untreated it is linked to mental health problems like depression and anxiety. more than 1.6 million prescriptions are now being dispensed by the nhs for adhd medication each year — double the figure of a decade ago, according to new research for this programme. jim reed has this exclusive report. i would say it this way to sum it up as an internal struggle that you probably can't see. if it's going to be a year before i get diagnosed, i'll be a basket case at best. i can't wait, i'm a mess. i was the one sitting daydreaming out the window, always adamant i was listening. this is what it looks like,

the little blue pill ofjoy. it's absolutely positive that we are dramatically increasing prescriptions for stimulant medication. it is a massively underdiagnosed, undertreated issue. i think it's important for people to realise that they are taking a mind altering 5ub5tance. they are basically taking a low dose of amphetamine. seven—year—old eireann has recently been diagnosed with adhd. he can't concentrate in class, finds it very hard to focus. we need some more bacon. it's now understood the disorder does run strongly in familie5.

last year his mum sam, at a5, was diagnosed with the same condition. so there's practical symptoms and there's emotional symptoms. so the emotional symptoms will be almost con5ta nt anxiety. worry of some description, which is different in many ways to depression. it was like i knew there was something more to it than just me being a bit rubbish, frankly a5 a human. which is what i'd always put it down to, just not having any willpower and not being able to cope. i've never had a job for longer than 18 months. i don't get fired, iju5t leave. i get to the point where i can't cope any more. either i'm too bored or i'm too fru5trated or i genuinely believe that i'm doing such a terrible job, that i need to put my employer out of their mi5ery. i mean, who thinks they've got adhd? it's like, that's what you get when you are a kid, right? adult adhd has only been recognised

a5 a condition for ten years. the vast majority of those diagnosed later in life will have been living with it since childhood. that group is now growing fast. in scotland, the only nation that records these things, one in every four on medication is now at least 20 years old. for many adults, who are coming to me now, are saying, i just thought adhd was about naughty children, i didn't realise how much it's affected me all my life. most parts of the country, waiting lists is at least two years. in one part of the country, i understand the waiting list is seven years to see a specialist to be assessed for adhd and assessed obviously for medication. that is a real crisis because there are many people who are really struggling. this is what it looks like, the little blue pill of joy. that's it.

it starts working after about an hour... the main treatment for adhd is still though contentious. like most, sam was given stimulant medication. my insta nt reaction actually was, i was a little bit concerned. i was just a bit scared. i think because it occurred to me quite quickly that this is something i was going to have to be on for the rest of my life. you feel it almost on the hour, it's like boom, kick in and it's like, 0k brillant, no anxiety. that's really good and you just get on with your day. i can concentrate for a lot longer and i come out and i don't feel broken. i sometimes still want to cry, but that's ok. it doesn't last for ever, iju5t need to calm down a bit go and have some quiet time and carry on where a5 before, it would last for hours, and hours, and hours. i am talking about adult adhd which affects about 4% of the population.

so, what do we think is going on in sam's brain? doctor helen reid is an nhs psychologist and specialist in adults with the disorder. so adhd is a genetic condition, it runs in families and it's basically a deficiency of a neurotransmitter which is used in the parts of the brain which regulates attention, focus, emotional control. you know, big factors in how we live our lives productively in today's society. the main drugs then are 5timulant5 which tells cells in the rain to increase the missing chemicals. it's absolutely positive that we are dramatically increasing prescriptions for stimulant medication. it is a massively underdiagnosed, undertreated issue. the actual effect of giving somebody with adhd, adhd medication is that theyjust feel normal.

that sounds like a small thing, but for somebody who struggled all their life, to do the things that everybody else finds easy, that is absolutely incredible for them. we've all heard of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or adhd... but prescribing stimulants in ever—growing numbers is still criticised by some. there may not be just one cause... in the united states where prescription rates are far higher, the debate goes on in print... i take it right when i wake up... and on tv. this netflix documentary, just the latest to take on the subject. what's the cost of that? some psychiatrists here are also very sceptical. i'm really worried about it because no long—term benefits have ever been demonstrated for stimulant is in terms of improving quality—of—life or their performance in school tests, or work performance or anything like that. i think it's important for people to realise they are taking a mind altering substance. they are basically taking a low dose of amphetamine or a drug

that's similar to amphetamine and they are getting the same sorts of alterations that of the stimulant users get, users who use them recreationally. albeit, they are taking these drugs at much lower doses. i would say the best way to sum it up is an internal struggle that you probably can't see. 21—year—old zoe from 0rpington in kent, was first diagnosed in the middle of her gcse exams six years ago. back in school i was the one sitting daydreaming out the window, always adamant i was listening. but i was away with the fairies and i know most kids are like that, but that progressed into showing a lot more symptoms as i got older. this is the kind of ones i usually go for... figures show girls and young women are far less likely to be

treated for adhd than boys. maybe because it's more common in males or maybe something because girls are just better at hiding it. we are ashamed, we don't want anyone to or we are struggling because we're not going to present it in the way that boys will. it's all internal and we are so good at putting on that poker face. zoe was first diagnosed at 15. she had a bad time on medication and stopped taking the pills. but as she got older, the symptoms didn't go away and after a struggle, she was seen again as an adult and given a different treatment. the best way to describe it is when things get too much, i kind ofjust blow up. or you have a breakdown or something. i was doing that most days because i'd been trying to hold it together all day, kind of thing. to give you the best example, let's think of something really dramatic like you need to go and visit your nan because soon she probably won't be around.

i'm trying to think of two off the spectrum examples, or like feed the cat, for example. they felt like the same amount of priority and i couldn't differentiate what was more important. so you can imagine my whole head was like, what do i need to do first? you kind of go into this paralysed state of i'm not going to do anything then, because i'm going to fail. what do you say to people who think this is just a normal part of growing up, or this is a normal part of human behaviour, human nature? ijust get emotional and be like, why did i have to go through that? because i didn't see, i didn't feel like i could relate to anyone. i didn't have anyone that i can relate to that was having the same, seemingly, pathetic struggles. that's where we get misdiagnosed, pretty much. especially girls because you just think, it'sjust a girl being

overdramatic and over emotional. but, i knew better than that, so don't tell me that because it was very real and you can ask my parents. it was hell on earth. zoe is now on longer acting pills, a stimulant meant to work over the whole day. just one of the 1.6 million prescriptions for adhd now dispensed every year in the uk. a lot of people would describe it as blinkers, so what horses would have where itjust kind of gives you more focus and ability to prioritise. so it's like you finally got a filing cabinet in your head. you naturally know what your priority is for that day rather than everything feeling like it's on the same level of priority. do you think you are going to be on this medication for the long—term? it's something i have been thinking about recently.

and i was like, if i had the right conditions i wouldn't need it and i would like to say that i wouldn't need it all of my life. because we don't know the actual effects of that. at the moment, it's been what i've needed. looking at the data, there is no sign of the trend slowing down. more pills are being described year on year, in the uk. for some then, that is a risk, a concern. for others, itjust means more people are finally getting the help they really need. jim reed reporting. and we'll be talking to a couple of adults diagnosed with adhd just after 10 o'clock. thank you for your comments, and that says i was diagnosed last year at the age of 52, so glad you are covering this this morning. this

text says i am aged 207i covering this this morning. this text says i am aged 207! have had this all my life, i am currently dry to force a change in the guidelines regarding using stimulants as the first—line medication, that's a really interesting issue, we will talk more about that. simon on twitter says for my entire life i have struggled with i think is adult adhd, i plucked up the courage to speak to my gp who referred me but warned that my appointment will be at least 18 months away. so the struggle continues. and this e—mail, iam sick struggle continues. and this e—mail, i am sick to two years old, i've known since my three children were diagnosed that i too have adhd. i used to have amphetamines but don't have them now, doctors did not recognise the problem when my children were diagnosed so after struggling with their diagnosis i did not bother with myself but i do still struggle daily to fit in. is it too late for me to get a diagnosis? i'm notan

it too late for me to get a diagnosis? i'm not an expert at the ant has got to be no! please go to yourgp if ant has got to be no! please go to your gp if you think that is the right thing to do. it's never too late. we'll be talking to people who know a lot more about it than me later on. really interested to hear your experiences, we would like to talk to you on the programme, so please join talk to you on the programme, so pleasejoin our talk to you on the programme, so please join our conversation. send me an e—mail. you can message us on facebook or twitter. still to come... five people, including a 13—year—old boy, are shot within 2a hours in london over the bank holiday — one of them fatally. violent crime not just violent crime notjust in london but in towns and cities elsewhere in britain. we'll be asking what is going on, and what can be done tackle it? more aggression this time!

zimba bwe's highly—successful all female combat unit protecting one of africa's largest elephant populations. time for the latest news — here's annita mcveigh. the bbc news headlines this morning... president trump is expected to announce later today whether he wants the us to pull out of the iran nuclear deal. he's previously been highly critical of the 2015 agreement, describing it as "insane" and the "worst deal ever". yesterday borisjohnson toured american news networks appealing for the president not to abandon the deal. britain's rail companies are launching a review into the way train fares are designed and regulated. the rail delivery group, which represents industry firms, says that passengers aren't always offered the cheapest fares, because of what it says are long—standing anomalies in the way tickets are issued. it also claims 55 million different fare combinations exist in the current system. a public consultation on the plans will be launched next month. borisjohnson has described one

of the government's post—brexit customs proposals as "crazy". in an interview with the daily mail, the foreign secretary said one of the ideas downing street is considering for a customs deal with the eu would stop britain taking back control of trade. number ten said the cabinet was agreed on the principles for a future customs agreement and more work was being done on the specific details. a 24—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, following a siege in oxford. police, who'd exchanged gunfire with an armed man at a property in the city centre, say the incident ended peacefully. one person received treatment for non—life—threatening injuries. a 30—year—old man, reported to be a delivery driver, has become the fifth person to be shot in london during the long bank holiday weekend. police were called to the attack in new cross in south—east london yesterday afternoon. the man's wounds aren't thought to be life—threatening. all 25—year—olds should be

given £10,000 to help them onto the housing ladder or to start a business according to a new report into inter—generationalfairness. the resolution foundation claims radical reforms are needed to stop under—305 having a poorer life than their parents. they've also advised that working pensioners should contribute more to the nhs. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. we will talk more about that last story later. here's some sport now with holly hamilton. coming up in the next half hour — third time's the charm for snooker‘s mark williams, winning the world championship 15 years after his last title.. he beatjohn higgins 18—16 in a classic crucible final and at 43 becomes the oldest champion since fellow welshman ray reardon thirty years ago. under—17 world cup winners england came from a goal down to beat italy in the european championship at in sweltering conditions at walsall. england now need just one point from thursday's final group game against switzerland at rotherham to seal a quarter—final spot. tony bellew has told the bbc

this morning he's unsure whether he'll ever fight again. bellew stopped david haye in the fifth round of their heavyweight rematch in london on saturday. but he admits he could be tempted by a match with tyson fury. and salford city lionesses will be the latest women's football team to be created after the club owned by ex—manchester united players ryan giggs, gary neville, nicky butt, paul scholes and england manager phil neville, announced plans for a women's team next season. it's not yet clear which division they will play in. that's all the sport for now. more after 10. thank you, holly. the bank holiday weekend saw a wave of violence sweep across the country, with a number of shootings and stabbings taking place. five people were shot in london and one of them, 17—year—old rhyhiem morgan, died on saturday. his death is the latest in a spate of violent crimes in the capital, as police investigate more than 60 alleged murders so far this year. here's our reporter anna collinson.

at least five people were shot in london in separate incidents over the bank holiday weekend. the mother of one of those killed pleaded for the violence to stop. let my son be the last and be an example to everyone. just let it stop. the death of the 17—year—old is the latest in a spate of violent crimes in the capital. the homicide team are the best in the uk, if not the world. they're doing all they can to make sure we arrest the suspects as quickly as possible. police are investigating at least 60 alleged murders in 2018 so far. official statistics in april showed the number of homicides in london had gone up by 44% in the past year. london's mayor says together with the police, community groups, victims and their families and londoners, city hall

will continue to work ceaselessly to tackle violent crime. the home secretary has also promised action, saying serious violence is robbing too many people of their futures. we will work with anyone determined to tackle it. but it's notjust in london, over the weekend there have been violent incidents in luton, liverpool and manchester. across the country, violent crime is up. in england and wales, knife crime rose by 22% in 2017. the numbers also show an 11% increase in firearms offences. it's even caught the attention of the us president. they don't have guns, they have knives and instead there's blood all the floors of this hospital. they say it's as bad as a military war zone hospital. knives, knives, knives.

although the overall stats show recorded crime is going down, this will be little consolation to the families coming to terms with the violence over the weekend. how do you counter this level of violence? how do you prevent young kids and teenagers from joining gangs? how do you help them exit gangs? and how do we stop the use of guns and knives feeling normal to some people? we have asked these questions a number of times on the programme already this year. darryl laycock is in manchester — he's a former gang member who has been shot several times. we're also joined by former detective for greater manchester police rod carter — who spent most and claire van helfteren is from capital conflict management

— an independent organisation which says it aims to break the cycle of violence. da ryll, you daryll, you joined a gang at 1a. why did that happen? i am from a broken home, i went on to the streets as escapism from reality. how are you welcomed into a gang, how does it happen? it wasjust a natural progression from people of my state. not everybody went around like that, but i was welcomed by family and friends, open arms. when does it potentially become violent? in about 1989, there was trouble with another area, moss side and cheetham hill, that ceased after a bit and i was involved in a long—running feud against people from across the road

from where i lived. feuds about what? loads of different reasons. people saying drugs this, drugs that, but it was listening to elders and following the footsteps of older people. i don't know what that means, can you give me some concrete exa m ples of means, can you give me some concrete examples of what the feuds whereabouts? disagreements between elder people from different states, you know? 0rdinarily it could have been sorted out with a fist fight but, no, guns were prevalent at the time so people used guns. that feuds carried on until 2008, from 1990, 1991 to 2008. have you seen people shot? my best mate was shot in front of me in1991, shot? my best mate was shot in front of me in 1991, he was killed, shot in his head. i have been shot myself. i have seen numerous people

shot. i have been shot on three occasions. the first time i was shot in the foot, the second time i wish at 20 plus times, the third time i was shot in the leg. also stabbed that in times. —— the second time i was shot at over 20 times. you say that in a matter—of—fact way but it will be shocking to some people that that can happen to you on so many occasions, that was the world you we re occasions, that was the world you were living in? that is how i occasions, that was the world you were living in? that is how! chose to live my life. i had a choice and i chose to live that life. how would you describe that life? hectic. hectic. always looking over your shoulder, always having to be prepared to either shoot somebody or shot, get arrested, prepared to either shoot somebody or shot, getarrested, go prepared to either shoot somebody or shot, get arrested, go to jail, prepared to either shoot somebody or shot, getarrested, go to jail, be killed, kill or spend the rest of your life injail. killed, kill or spend the rest of your life in jail. what were the things or who were the people that turned you away from that in the

end? tragedy with a family member made me reassess my life and made me try to do something positive. that all came about in 2011 when i was in prison. then i was released, i was not allowed in manchester for two and a half years because of my risk to other gang members. but it all turned out all right in the end. i have worked with about 40,000 young people over seven years, i trained social workers, probation officers. what is your feeling now about how to reduce the level of violent crime? notjust to reduce the level of violent crime? not just in to reduce the level of violent crime? notjust in london but in towns and cities across the uk? crime? notjust in london but in towns and cities across the uk7m is happening all over. the elder generation like myself and older, we need to get on the streets and speak to the youngers and let them know the pitfalls of living that way. also the government needs to fund

youth projects and use provisions. let me bring in rod carter, a former detective greater manchester police who spent most of his career targeting gangs. your reaction to the latest number of shootings and violent incidents first of all, and what made your solutions be? good morning. iam not what made your solutions be? good morning. i am not surprised about the increase in shootings and stabbings. i think there are two principal reasons. one is the lack of police officers. i retired from gmp in october last year and towards the last 18 months of my career you could see the impact it was having. resources are overstretched and there enough officers. the other side that needs to be looked at is social media platforms like youtube where youths are creating videos that create animosity between groups, leading to hostilities. so

what are you saying about social media? these videos can be put on youtube, there is other social media, instagramming periscope and so on and so forth, but with youtuber a group of lads can put a video up where they are displaying open hostility towards an opposing group. in one particular video, one of the people who appeared as has been charged and convicted of murder in manchester, it occurred last august. these rival groups will wind each other up via youtube and go onto the street with knives and seek retribution for what has been said. i think society itself needs to take responsibility. that video i mentioned, there was an advert for a very well—known savoury snack company prior to it, it is getting so many views and bringing the money in. so do social media companies have to take them down immediately, are you appealing to people not to

watch those videos? both. social media, if they took them down, that would be fantastic. sorry to interrupt, in darryl‘s time as a teenager in a gang, there was no social media and there was still feuds, disagreements, shootings. indeed, andi feuds, disagreements, shootings. indeed, and i have known darryl for many years. that was two rival groups on the same estate, the difference between those territories was the width of the road. let me bring ina was the width of the road. let me bring in a cloud, if i may. she is from capital conflict management. —— let me bring in claire, if i may. from capital conflict management. —— let me bring in claire, ifi may. we need to look at enforcement, stop and search initiatives, new sentencing guidelines in june and search initiatives, new sentencing guidelines injune for knife crime that any bladed article would be a minimum of six months tariff. but we need to look at the other end. is that for carrying any bladed article? if you have no good

reason. that is coming in at the beginning ofjune. we need to invest in enforcement and our police force, without question, that has had an effect, in my opinion. every murder costs is £1.6 million, those are all figures —— old figures, it is probably in excess of that. instead of spending at the tragic end, let's go to the other end and look at why kids have conflict. as you said, there was not a lwa ys conflict. as you said, there was not always drugs or social media, there has always been conflict, children have always got into arguments. we need to look at vulnerable children, 11 or12, need to look at vulnerable children, 11 or 12, playing truant from school, they are vulnerable. where are they? they are on the streets, in gangs, —— they are on the streets, and gangs or drug dealers can get hold of them. we need to look at training and conflict management in schools. investment. we used out bullying is a big issue

in schools, now we have violence. —— we used to have bullying. let's not put labels on gangs or the black community, let's talk about it as a youth violence issue and get investment into schools and pupil referral units, and let the community take responsibility. if we continue to have this attitude and i am nota continue to have this attitude and i am not a snitch, on the enforcement side we will never stop the violence. as a community we need to say this violence must stop, let's lock away the people who are shooting people. but before that let's look at conflict resolution. thank you, thank you all of you for coming on the programme, after 10am we will speak to three mothers who have lost sons to violent crime and we will bring them together in conversation so you can hear the impact notjust on them but the ripple effect through their family and community of losing a son to a violent incident.

coming up... zimba bwe's highly successful all female combat unit protecting one of africa's largest elephant populations. if you do something wrong to my animals, i will catch you. if you do something wrong to my animals, iwill catch you. more aggression this time! that is before a 10am. president trump will announce later today whether he'll pull out of the iran nuclear deal. he's previously called the agreement — negotiated in 2015 under the 0bama administration — "insane" and the "worst deal ever". under the deal, iran agreed to limit its nuclear programme in exchange for the easing of economic sanctions. the deal was also signed by britain, france and germany and they've been working together to try to deter president trump from ditching it. over the weekend, the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, flew to washington to argue the case. president trump claims that the deal gave iran a vast cash windfall of £72 billion, which had been used to fund terror.

let's now speak to shahin zebarjad, an iranian living in london. and karin von hippel, director general of the royal united services institute, a think tank on international defence and security. welcome both of you. thank you for coming on the programme. firstly, what does this deal mean to iranians people? what does the deal mean to iranians people? well, at the moment it is disappointment. iranians people are totally disappointed in general, the will not get anything out of this deal, it did not change their lives as it was promised. and it is just their lives as it was promised. and it isjust broken. their lives as it was promised. and it is just broken. it is just threatening to be sabotaged by mr

trump, they are disappointed, horrified, if you like, they don't know what to do and the price of the economy is the price of living just goes up and up and up again. they did not like the deal? they did, they like the ideal that but there is no impact. does it make any difference to them if president trump bullseye? not really, they got the oil money but people did not see much of it. why does president trump ta ke much of it. why does president trump take this deal? he seems to have a bus would dislike of anything president 0bama did and this is one of his signature achievements, he cares more about underling that legacy than doing the right thing and it will be the wrong thing for him to undermine the steel.“

and it will be the wrong thing for him to undermine the steel. if he pulls mood music suggests he will, does that make it freer to up the uranium enrichment programme? the sanctions would go back into place. if president trump says there's no deal at the end of today it's not clear about its over, there is still other options to proceed, the europeans who try to keep a deal going with iran and iranians may wa nt going with iran and iranians may want to do that, so there are less ways of having economic trade with european countries. it's really hard to say what trump will do, he's almost living in a reality tv show and he enjoys teasing these things are done waiting for a long time and that's not the way to conduct foreign policy. some people would argue he's had successes in foreign policy. yes, north korea will watch a signa policy. yes, north korea will watch a sign a deal that could be revoked. it might make north korea not trust

him. do you think the iranian government is worried about sanctions being reapplied it resident trump calls out? of course they are. but you know, they have their own way to deal with this kind of situation. we had sanctions before. and we have that situation before. and we have that situation before. president trump is dry to play a mad person. he is a bully. he is not only bullying iran, he is being the world because china, russia, europe, they are angry with the deal except for israel and saudi arabia. even in america the congress did not pass those things that mr trump wanted. how is he bullying iran? he wants to pull out of that, how is that bullying iran? he believed iran since the beginning

when he came to office. by no financial trade is working with iran, iranians companies cannot work because banks are blocked by america, all the banks are saying we are afraid to work with iran because of the american threat. and still... my of the american threat. and still... my mother, an iranian, if she wants to send me money it would be very hard, it would be really hard for us. hard, it would be really hard for us. to even send money to each other. because the sanctions did not remove at all, they promised, they promised that the sale aeroplanes to iran, for instance. we don't know if

it's going to happen. 0k. iran, for instance. we don't know if it's going to happen. ok. if he pulls out with that represent a league rift with european friends like britain, like france? this is a general erosion of us leadership globally. trump as you are saying has frustrated so many countries around the world, they are getting on with their business without america and that is really what is happening. erosion of american leadership and the values that have overpaid and —— underpinned the global order, it would be a real disappointment in a number of ways if he does this. thank you both for coming in. we will see what happens. the announcement comes later. coming up... have you been diagnosed with adhd as an adult? 0ur programme has found out that the nhs hands out 1.6 million prescriptions each year and the fastest growing group of patients is not children but adults. if that's you, please do get in touch — we'll be talking about it againjust after 10am. elephant poaching is a big and growing problem in zimbabwe,

with recent figures suggesting the lower zambezi valley has lost around 11 thousand elephants over the last decade. now, one of the largest populations of elephants in the world is being protected from poachers by an armed all—female unit. the group named akashinga — which means the brave ones. so what happens when women take the lead in conservation? the bbc travelled to the lower zambezi valley to find out. if you do something wrong to my animals i will catch you. more aggression this time! it's one of the largest elephant populations left on the continent. they are totally wrong. the women

fighting poachers. lower zambezi valley, zimbabwe. a former trophy hunting reserve has a new group you scared? scared? how many arrests now? historically we would have to recruit rangers to protect the area like this so they are not influenced by the people they grew up with, women don't seem to be corruptible in that aspect. it's very difficult to catch a

poacher who lives in missing village with you but my neighbour, my relative, if you do something wrong to my animals i will catch you.|j did to my animals i will catch you.” did a selection course for 189 men, 6-7 did a selection course for 189 men, 6—7 years ago at the end of day one three left, at the end of day three, only three had pulled off. my my husband used to exploit me. i saw all my goals being shattered. i want to prove this, nojob is too hard for me and i think and i hope i am proving it. i didn't manage to get enough money to send my daughter to school, even to buy clothes or even

food. it was so difficult for me to survive. i am now doing things on my own. it gives me courage that i am someone, own. it gives me courage that i am someone, i am different from others. cani can i ask you to come forward, please? congratulations! can i ask you to come forward, please ? congratulations! good can i ask you to come forward, please? congratulations! good luck in your duties. trust that you will fulfil them well. and do yourself proud. thank you, sir. thank you are much. long—term solutions involve winning the hearts and minds of the community and the most effective way to do that is through the women. squad dismissed. women given the opportunity have the ability to change the face of conservation forever. cheering

i don't know why they chose me.” will try my best to do the best thing, i will do my best! we are here to protect animals, that is our duty, they will not disappear forever. we will protect them! the brave ones. news and sport on the way, but first... let's get the latest weather update — with simon king the good weather, ? some lovely scenes this morning, there is a change in the weather, you will see that change towards the north—west, look at the scene in cumbria, the cloud, outbreaks of rain moving in, feeling much fresher to the north and west compared to

an example to everyone. just let it stop. we'll bring together three mums, all of whom lost their sons to violent crime. we'll hear them in conversation together. and should 25—year—olds get £10,000 to help with putting a deposit on a house or starting a business? that's one suggestion today to help fix the wealth gap between young people and older generations. what do you think of it? good morning. here's annita mcveigh in the bbc newsroom with a summary of today's news. thanks, victoria. president trump is expected to announce later today whether he wants the us to pull out of the iran nuclear deal. he's previously been highly critical of the 2015 agreement, describing it as "insane" and the "worst deal ever". yesterday borisjohnson toured american news networks appealing for the ppesident not to abandon the deal.

—— for the president. britain's rail companies are launching a review into the way train fares are designed and regulated. the rail delivery group, which represents industry firms, says that passengers aren't always offered the cheapest fares, because of what it says are long—standing anomalies in the way tickets are issued. it also claims 55 million different fare combinations exist in the current system. we hear from customers constantly, but we had an further research and we know about a third of customers are not confident they are getting the right ticket, so we want to drive the reforms so customers trust getting the right ticket, we improve their buying experience and they have greater confidence in the system. the regulation designed in the 19905 and which still drives the structure of the fares system, since then we have had massive changes in the way

we work in trouble, we have much more flexible lies and want more flexible ticketing. —— we have had massive changes in the way we work and trouble. borisjohnson has described one of the government's post—brexit customs proposals as "crazy". in an interview with the daily mail, the foreign secretary said one of the ideas downing street is considering for a customs deal with the eu would stop britain taking back control of trade. number ten said the cabinet was agreed on the principles for a future customs agreement and more work was being done on the specific details. a 24—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a siege in oxford. police, who'd exchanged gunfire with an armed man at a property in the city centre, say the incident ended peacefully. one person received treatment for non—life—threatening injuries. a 30—year—old man, reported to be a delivery driver, has become the fifth person to be shot in london during the long bank holiday weekend. police were called to the attack in new cross in south—east london yesterday afternoon. the man's wounds aren't thought to be life—threatening. all 25—year—olds should be given £10,000 to help them onto the housing ladder or to start a business, according to a new report into

inter—generational fairness. the resolution foundation claims radical reforms are needed to stop under 305 having a poorer life than their parents. they've also advised that working pensioners should contribute more to the nhs. celebrities have been causing a stir on the red carpet of the met gala in new york. the annual fundraiser is considered to be the social highlight of the year in the city — with "heavenly bodies: fashion and the catholic imagination" the theme for this year's event. rihanna, one of the evening's hosts, took her inspiration from the pope, wearing a jewel—encrusted mitre with matching mini dress. google the inevitable pressures for public spending to go up on health ca re public spending to go up on health care and social care, it is reasonable to expect the baby boomers... 0ur boomers... our apologies, clearly. we were not

supposed to play that clip after the piece about the met gala where the stars were letting their imaginations run riot. holly has the sports now. good morning. mark williams has become the oldest world snooker champion for 40 years, after beating john higgins 18—16 in a thrilling final at the crucible. the welshman had thought about quitting the game, and didn't even qualify for last year's championship — but now has a third world title at the age of 43, 15 years after his last one. now, he had pledged to carry out his press conference naked if he won... and he's a man of his word, mark williams — so he addressed journalists wearing nothing but a sponsor's towel. he may have regretted that decision. thankfully he did put this clothes back on and told us afterwards he's already looking ahead to next year. to think i will have a season like

this next season is probably a bit silly of me, to think i will carry on this form. but if i turn up next season and play like an absolute fish, then i can't grumble. this season has made up for my last 15 yea rs of season has made up for my last 15 years of playing absolute garbage. so for higgins, it was a case of another missed opportunity. the scot has now lost three finals, winning the last of his four titles in 2011againstjudd trump. although i had an unbelievable amount of respect forjimmy white as amount of respect forjimmy white as a player, if! amount of respect forjimmy white as a player, if i hadn't have come back six times and losing six finals and still been a class act on and off the table, i lost two finals in a row and it is heartbreaking, but for him to do that i can only imagine what he went through, coming back every year, what he went through, coming back every yea r, every what he went through, coming back every year, every year, going again, going again, going again. it is tough, it is tough. three days after knocking out david haye to win the 30th fight of his career, heavyweight boxer tony bellew says he's torn about whether to walk

away from the sport. bellew says his wife wants him to retire but he feels in the best form of his life and is tempted by talk of a fight against the former heavyweight world champion tyson fury, who's announced his comeback to the ring. everyone wants to see me face guys who i can't beat, and for me when you tell me i can't beat someone, it is music to my ears, i want to do even more. he is not a puncher, the only thing he has over me is size, height and weight. i have speed, power and a better boxing brain than him. it's two wins from two for england in the under 17 european championships. they came from behind to beat italy in walsall yesterday. the young lions dominated the second half — this strike from arvin appiah got them level and tommy doyle's penalty won it. a point in their last group match will put them into the last eight. the england women's football manager phil neville is to help set—up a new female side at the club he part owns.

salford city have said they‘re creating a ladies‘ side called the lionesses. the club is owned by neville, his brother gary, ryan giggs, paul scholes and nicky butt. that‘s all the sport for now. thank you so much, holly. welcome to the programme. we are revealing on this programme that more and more adults are being diagnosed with adhd. usually associated with children, the disorder can cause severe inattentiveness and impulsiveness. people who have probably lived with the condition all their lives are only now being helped. left untreated, it is linked to mental health problems like depression and anxiety. more than 1.6 million prescriptions are now being dispensed by the nhs for adhd medication each year — double the figure of a decade ago, according to new research for this programme. we showed you jim reed‘s exclusive report earlier — here‘s a short excerpt from it.

seven—year—old eireann has recently been diagnosed with adhd. he can‘t concentrate in class, finds it very hard to focus. we need some more bacon. it‘s now understood the disorder does run strongly in families. last year his mum sam, at 45, was diagnosed with the same condition. it was like i knew there was something more to it thanjust me being a bit rubbish, frankly as a human. which is what i‘d always put it down to, just not having any willpower and not being able to cope. i‘ve never had a job for longer than 18 months. i don‘t get fired, ijust leave. i get to the point where i can‘t cope any more. either i‘m too bored or i‘m too frustrated or i genuinely believe that i‘m doing such a terrible job, that i need to put my employer out of their misery. adult adhd has only been recognised as a condition for ten years. the vast majority of those diagnosed

later in life will have been living with it since childhood. this is what it looks like, the little blue pill of joy. the this is what it looks like, the little blue pill ofjoy. the main treatment is still contentious. like many, sam was given stimulant medication. my instant reaction actually was, i was a little bit concerned. i was just a bit scared. i think because it occurred to me quite quickly that this is something i was going to have to be on for the rest of my life. you feel it almost on the hour, it‘s like boom, kick in and it‘s like, 0k brillant, no anxiety. that‘s really good and you just get on with your day. i can concentrate for a lot longer and i come out and i don‘t feel broken. the exact causes of adhd are still

unknown. most drugs are designed to boost the level of chemicals where there are shortages in the brain. it's absolutely positive that we are dramatically increasing prescriptions for stimulant medication. it is a massively underdiagnosed, undertreated issue. the actual effect of giving somebody with adhd, adhd medication is that theyjust feel normal. but prescribing stimulants in ever—growing numbers is still criticised by some. i'm really worried about it because no long—term benefits have ever been demonstrated for stimulant is in terms of improving quality—of—life or their performance in school tests, or work performance or anything like that. looking at the data, there is no sign of the trend slowing down. more pills are being described year on year, in the uk. —— more pills are being prescribed. for some, then, that is a risk, a concern. for others, itjust means more people are finally getting the help they really need.

here with us now is alex loveless, who was only diagnosed with adhd a couple of years ago. it was his sister sam you saw in the film. abi nicol helps run the adhd/asd community support group uk on facebook and has a son with the condition. michelle beckett was diagnosed with the condition at 44 and now runs charity adhd action. and labour mp jo platt, who is the chair of the adhd all—party parliamentary group. we will talk to two viewers in a moment who got in touch as well. firstly, alex, what is it like being an adult and being diagnosed with adhd? a massive relief, actually. i have struggled for so many years. i have struggled for so many years. i have done well for myself, i have a family, i consider myself successful, but i spent life going through boom and bust cycles of periods of intense focus followed by deep depressions that ijust did not

understand why it was happening, and was exhausting. it became too much for me to cope with. eventually i had one episode and i was like, i can‘t cope with this any more, i can‘t cope with this any more, i can‘t keep doing this, something is not right. so i managed to get myself into the diagnostic system within the nhs and someone mentioned adhd and! within the nhs and someone mentioned adhd and i went off and did some research and suddenly everything fell into place. it was just like, research and suddenly everything fell into place. it wasjust like, i read a fact sheet about it went, my god, that is me. i can‘t believe it, it is me. it was so intense to go through, to suddenly realise that the difficulties i was suffering for my whole life since i was a child we re my whole life since i was a child were not something i was doing wrong ora were not something i was doing wrong or a weakness or just were not something i was doing wrong or a weakness orjust being dozy or dip your whatever, any name you want to come outwith. —— lodge is being dozy all dippy or whatever. there was something different about my

brain. that realisation alone made such a difference to my life. since then, things have been so much better than before and i am so much more able to cope with the situations that arise. 0f more able to cope with the situations that arise. of course, there is medication, which helps a lot, but the medication takes of the pressure off but ultimately it is about the realisation and lifestyle change that goes with it that helps you to cope, that is where i am today, doing really well. sounds amazing, the way you have described that relief. you are clearly very passionate about a description of why you were behaving like you were behaving. michelle, i wa nt to like you were behaving. michelle, i want to talk about the medication, it is controversial in the views of some people. we do not know the long—term effects. what is your view on it as a representative of adhd action? like alex, iwas on it as a representative of adhd action? like alex, i was diagnosed as an adult, only a year ago. the diagnosis was transformative, so is

the medication. i did not realise quite how transformative it can be. just the feeling of calm, peace and serenity. when you have adult adhd, more often than not you have thousands of thought a minute and they are really hard to control. the way we take in information is not linear, it is very difficult to process. sorry to interrupt, but are you saying the peace and calm is... means any potential long—term risks outweigh those risks? absolutely, adhd and nearly killed me and! absolutely, adhd and nearly killed me and i firmly believe if i hadn't been on medication it may well have done so. medication has been used incredibly safely for over 40 years for many people, the risks are higher without, you are more likely to be killed in a car accident, a times more likely, 11 years reduced life expectancy for adult adhd. let

me askjoe plaid about this, labour mp, asa me askjoe plaid about this, labour mp, as a politician, where are you on the medication? as michelle said, there is a mix, it‘s about awareness. it‘s about making mental health professionals and teachers aware of a.d. hd and putting in support mechanisms, for instance, it doesn‘t have to be medication but if you spot adhd early enough, it‘s wrapping that support service around that person. you will know and i‘ve got more messages, people children and adults can wait months, years, decades for a diagnosis, that is unacceptable. absolutely. what we found out through parliamentary questions, there‘s no holding record for waiting times. nice have

developed some guidelines but again, the assessment guidelines are not with not. ok. abby, how are you. how are you? i'm getting messages from adults saying, let me read you this, steve a nd adults saying, let me read you this, steve and simon have said i was diagnosed and treated for adhd as a child but once i was 18 i was left to fend for myself and medication seized. i am 29, i to fend for myself and medication seized. iam 29, i have to fend for myself and medication seized. i am 29, i have coped with adhd since, with a 10—12 month waiting list it‘s not good. simon said has been diagnosed with adhd and asp urges. age 50 five. i am really relieved, i‘m disabled and not mad. how do you react? that's quite a normal response. —— asperger's syndrome. it's all too familiar. a lady runs the support group that i

run the admin in and the amount of people and stories that we hear, thatis people and stories that we hear, that isjust one of hundreds. i'm going to bring in a viewer who contacted us this morning, she is in kent and works for the nhs, she is 62, her three children have diagnosed with adhd. good morning, how are you. hello. also with us is tom, 27 in newcastle, self—employed. how are you? hello, not bad, yourself. very well thank you. now that your children have been diagnosed, do you believe you have adhd? i do, then the children were diagnosed we were told that was genetic and because i had three children with it it was told to me

that my husband and i might both have that. i struggled for years, i had medication which my doctor gave me but that stopped and i struggle. alex, your brother and sister also have a diagnosis of adhd in adult hood. so the genetic link is there. absolutely. 0ur father was clearly for it comes from, he had projects around the house that perhaps finished, he could not sit still, he would sit in front of his favourite tv programme for half an hour, gets ten minutes into it, walk—off, that was behaviour we grew up with, the house had bits of things finished, have finished projects, he moved from industry to industry doing different types of jobs. do you want an official diagnosis? yes, i would like an official diagnosis, while listening to the other chap i can so

relate to that, my goodness. i cannot believe it. let me ask michelle for her advice. should she go back to the gp? she should but sadly many gps aren‘t aware of adhd or how it presents, we have cases for adults have gone to the gp, thinking this is me as we have all thought, this fits the bill, they go along and say you can‘t have adhd because you have a degree, you have ajob, because you have a degree, you have a job, you because you have a degree, you have ajob, you are because you have a degree, you have a job, you are successful. 0nly children get adhd, we have a lot of work to do with gps to raise awareness about this adult condition, a lot of work to do. let me bring in tom, you have a diagnosis, you have had adhd all your life, obviously. but you have a concern about stimulants being the first line in medication, is that correct? yes, i was diagnosed when i was seven, i am 27 now, as a child,

parents had different opinions, my mother thought i should be medicated my dad thought i shouldn't. i decided not to take any medication i got into the world of work, i started to realise i am struggling to keepa started to realise i am struggling to keep a job down any more than 4—5 months at a time so that prodded me to get referred back into my local aduu to get referred back into my local adult adhd service. that had an 18 month waiting list at the time. it goes quicker than you think! and again, iwas goes quicker than you think! and again, i was reassessed, still got adhd, more attentive than i used to be but less hyperactive, i haven't grown out of it but it has changed slightly, the parameters. and again i was offered stimulant medication, ritalin, which i tried. the

side—effects were horrific. cold hands, cold feet, profuse sweating. pounding chest, zero appetite, next to zero sleep. and i employed a feud different stimulant medications and i now take another which seems to be suiting me. 0k, i now take another which seems to be suiting me. ok, i i now take another which seems to be suiting me. 0k, ijust want to bring abbey back in if i may because your son who has adhd, he was diagnosed when he was six, he came off his medication, didn‘t he? when he was six, he came off his medication, didn't he? it's all still trial. he‘s on his third week without medication, he‘s been honoured since the age of six and he coming up to 12 now, this is the first time he‘s been off his medication. and, yes, interesting. briefly, we have got to tour the conversation to a close but what‘s the difference? there pros and cons. he does need support, he needs a lot

of support, all these children need support. and with medication or without. there is a stigma that needs to go, it‘s awful. without. there is a stigma that needs to go, it's awful. thank you, all of you, i really appreciate you coming on the programme. a couple more messages, michelle says after my son was diagnosed at the age of eight i realised i had it too but was dismissed many times by my gp andi was dismissed many times by my gp and i was offered antidepressants but i knew it wasn‘t oppression, finally diagnosed at the age of 44, medication offered but accessing adhd therapy is nigh on impossible. and another viewer on facebook, as an adult with adhd i live in lincolnshire, there is no specialist, many more will be in this position as you need a supervising consultant, i‘m left to struggle and coffee is my only medication. it‘s crazy to have to

move house to get the right treatment. thank you all so much. still to come we discuss whether 25—year—olds should be given ten thousand pounds to help buy a home or pay for their eduction. it‘s just one suggestion aimed at helping to fix the ‘broken‘ intergenerational contract between young people and seniors. "just let it stop." that was the emotional plea, from a grieving mum, for no other mothers to go though what she is going through, right now. this is pretana morgan and she‘s coming to terms with the fact that her 17—year—old boy is another awful statistic of london‘s shootings and stabbings. more than 60 have been killed this year alone. pretana says he wasn‘t in a gang. and she ‘couldn‘t have asked for a better son‘.

i come downstairs to go to the park with my daughter and my son called me and said i am coming to open the cage for a bit and i said me and said i am coming to open the cage fora bitand i said ok me and said i am coming to open the cage for a bit and i said ok and me and said i am coming to open the cage fora bitand i said ok and i called him back in to see if he was there and he was still there. they wa nt there and he was still there. they want us to kill each other, i want to to understand this, they want you to to understand this, they want you to fight against each other and kill off each other, you need to stop it, you need to wise up, please for all your ancestors, please, wise up, they would never go through all of this to see you just taking advantage of things like you ain‘t got no sense. let my son be the last and be an example to everyone. just let it stop! very, very upsetting.

with me are three mums who‘ve lost sons to violent crime. pastor lorraine jones watched her 20—year—old son, dwayne simpson, die on the streets of brixton after he was stabbed to death in 2014. jessica plummer‘s17—year—old son shaquan was stabbed in the chest in an unprovoked attack in 2015. and michelle mcphillips, lost her 28 year old sonjj in february last year after he was stabbed in north london. thank you so much for talking to us. we could see in that clip the effect on our mother of losing a son in those circumstances but i want to ask you about the effect on you, you have brought up your sons, through toddlerhood, primary school, secondary school, they emerge into being a young man and they are gone. what does that do to a mother? absolutely devastating. then i watched that clip i cried, it was like i was reliving the trauma all

over again. and playing got stabbed in 2014, the ripple effect is still very in 2014, the ripple effect is still very raw, in 2014, the ripple effect is still very raw, dribbles into the rest of the family, i have six other children three grandchildren, even my first grandchild she still writes notes to duwayne because he‘s very much in her heart, the ripple effect into the community, it affects community groups, the police, we really need to grasp more and do more to stop this, it‘s devastating. how would you describe it, jessica? i don't even know, it'sjust, really, really hard and difficult. because i saw the lady, i could not believe it, i had to turn it off, i could not watch it, i had to put it aside, it brings back memories,

every time, every day, i hear about a stabbing, i see a mother crying i wa nt a stabbing, i see a mother crying i want to reach out to them, but i don't know what to say to them. i am in the same boat, not knowing what to do, who to turn to. it gives me that anxiety, that thing in my stomach, in and out of the toilet andl stomach, in and out of the toilet and i noticed lately i am having nosebleeds which are used to have because of high blood treasure, it's like it's got worse. i was coming my hair yesterday and i am losing such an amount of hair because of all of this. because of the stress? it is too much for me now. i keep thinking lam too much for me now. i keep thinking i am getting better but it is getting worse for me and i think i need to be there for the other children because i have two more but what do i do? i don't know.” children because i have two more but what do i do? i don't know. i am going to bring in michelle. absolutely heart—rending,

distressing testimony from the mothers sitting alongside me. i wonder if you could give our audience an insight into the impact of losing a son? the impact is that someone of losing a son? the impact is that someone has torn out notjust my heart but my umbilical cord, my son was my only child and i'm not the only mother that has lost an only child but the problem we have is every time another murder comes onto the tv screens or social media takes us the tv screens or social media takes us all back to the first steps of our journey. we are us all back to the first steps of ourjourney. we are all going down the same path very different shoes at different stages but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an end to it, it seems to be getting bigger and bigger, be an end to it, it seems to be getting biggerand bigger, it seems to be empowering these people and we are hearing more of it cause social media because social media, you are sometimes getting the reports of the murders before they've actually been put out on the media. for all of us mothers, the heart wrench that is unbelievable. no one can help us

because losing your child is something no one can ever understand. lorraine, no one can help us, that‘s what michelle says, is there a way you can help others to try to offend other mums, dads, losing her sons? iam doing i am doing my best with my group which is supported by the police and the mayor. i would say there is a lot more that can be done. i minister in the community, so lots of families gravitate towards me, victoria. i can name five families whose killer or killers are still at large. it is evident that we have some violent people on the streets of london that need to be taken off. young children as well as older

ones. a child cannotjust purchase a gun on amazon. there needs to be more focus from the police in terms of investigating and the murder squad. they need to tackle the root of this. stop and search is one aspect but we are dealing with the small boys on the street. who is fuelling them? small boys on the street. who is fuelling them ? they small boys on the street. who is fuelling them? they are being fuelled to a degree that they are shooting in broad daylight. we need to crack down get these guns out of our communities. these older gang members need to be brought to justice, we need to really uproot and investigate what is going on, and investigate what is going on, and eradicated. but why are people, kids of ten, 11 and 12, being lured into gangs, welcomed into gangs? what can mothers do about that? about the way i look at it right now is that we as a community, as a different

organisation, we all need to come together. to come together and do something to reach out to the parents and the children, engage more with them. let us stop making it about race and let's focus more on parents and children, trying to educate the children and the parents. go into the schools and do a bit more. michelle, where do you stand? a bit more. michelle, where do you stand ? we a bit more. michelle, where do you stand? we have spoken about police coming into schools with more education, what you have on how we can make carrying a gun or a knife orany can make carrying a gun or a knife or any weapon less normal? the community need to start getting this would snitch and turning it into hiro. if you take a gun on the street and are saving lives, if you ta ke street and are saving lives, if you take people off the street who are carrying knives and saying they‘re using them for protection when they are not, they are using them because

they know the can get away with it. —— turn this would snitch into hero. sentencing needs to be stronger. you go into school and speak to young people, they say they will not carry a gun because it carries a sentence of 15 years, but a knife only carries 12 months. we need to make them believe they will go to prison for a long time. if you are caught carrying you should do a sentence straight off, basically because you get them on their first offence, hopefully they will not carry again and they will learn and be educated not to do this. because we are finding out that people who are starving people have been caught with nights previously. i looked at the sentencing guidelines are carrying knives and guns this morning, potentially you will go to jailfor being caught carrying a knife the second time. so the first time, you will not necessarily go to jail. do you say it is one strike and it is you are

out? it has to be that if you are caught carrying a knife you will do ajail caught carrying a knife you will do a jail sentence. they believe if they are called the first time nothing will happen to them. this is what they believe. that makes it available and easy for them to carry. like these two ladies say, the peer pressure from higher up, they are giving the younger ones and nights to carry for them, etc. are they being sent to do these crimes so that older people get the recognition for it, their gang members have gone to do it? right. one more thing is i find that they make cigarettes priority, you will go into the shops and they have the thing covering, to protect people from the cigarettes. i think we need to do the same. as a mother who lost a son, i meet up with people, i met lorraine and michelle, michelle is a hell of a nice lady. i met her through the same problem like myself, she is such a sweet

lady, i must say. i have been going to the shops myself, not with the police, even if i do the talks in schools, i have entered a shop before and i have tried my best, i am now working with the church in order to try to create changes to help the children. but what i am saying is stop making other things a priority when we have the big problem with the nights, some of the shops, nobody listens, you enter and you have all the nights displayed. i am there forarguing you have all the nights displayed. i am there for arguing and telling them that if it was not for that knife my son would have been there. i blame the person who killed my son andl i blame the person who killed my son and i cannot forgive him, but at the same time we need to tackle the shops. it is illegal to sell anything like that to an under 18. but they are still in the shops. lorraine, what would you say to mothers who are watching now, who have sons and daughters, who may not

know where their kids are in the evening, after school, at the weekend? what would you say to try to protect them? there are lots of facilities now and groups doing lots of outreach work, there is more provision for young people. i would say to parents, get yourself connected with these groups. say to parents, get yourself connectei local these groups. say to parents, get yourself connectei local council, ‘oups. say to parents, get yourself connectei local council, even. ‘ the welgetje we have t]e we have lots of children, ii'fififlfl in living in iii these , of 4-%_ do violent gangs of ireland, they do violent things. we need to empower the majority of our young people through engagement so they have the confidence to speak out when they are being pressured. —— these gangs are being pressured. —— these gangs are violent, they do violent things. thank you all so much for your time. a couple of messages, sian says it is devastating watching the mothers

of knife victims. my heart goes out to the victims‘ families. ahmed says violent crimes can only be stopped with having an army of police officers who can effectively pursue and investigate crimes. stop and search should be increased, not only on foot buttin cars. make it hell so they stop. thank you. still to come... should all 25 rolleds be given £10,000 to put towards a deposit or save for their education? and wrongfully imprisoned, should victims receive financial compensation for a miscarriage of justice? parliament is back today, so is brexit. borisjohnson has launched an unprecedented public assault on theresa may‘s brexit plans. in an interview with the daily mail, the foreign secretary has described the prime minister‘s proposed customs partnership

with europe as "crazy". 0ur political guru, norman smith, is in downing street. hi. how are you doing, victoria? you wonder what the mood is like inside cabinet with the latest blast from borisjohnson over cabinet with the latest blast from boris johnson over an idea cabinet with the latest blast from borisjohnson over an idea which mrs may is thought to be very supportive of, a customs partnership after we leave the customs union. the scheme would basically mean we collected eu ta riffs would basically mean we collected eu tariffs for goods coming to britain and going onto the rest of eu, which brexiteers say really mean staying in the customs union and, in their view, staying in the eu. boris johnson has gone on the warpath, describing the idea is crazy, saying it would keep us within the lunar orbit of brussels and it would not be the same as taking back control. what is interesting, if mrs may sticks by this policy, how on earth can boris johnson defend sticks by this policy, how on earth can borisjohnson defend or stick up for it having described it as crazy,

which has prompted some to speculate about whether he is paving the way to storm out of cabinet. we don‘t know. this morning he was not giving much away. reporter: if the brexit plan is that crazy, are you ready to resign? the strategy of team a at the moment seems to be delay, delay, delay. they are not discussing it in this cabinet or the brexit subcommittee at the end of the week, it will be shunted to next week. and the hope of tea m shunted to next week. and the hope of team may is to try to pick of some of the less convinced people on the brexit subcommittee, maybe someday like sajid javid who has just joined, someday like sajid javid who has justjoined, used to be a remainer macro, maybe mrs may put —— mrs may could put the squeeze on him to get him on her side. he was asked about

that this morning. reporter: do you agree with boris, our plans for a customs partnership crazy? good morning. do you agree with the foreign secretary? have a good day. is a customs plan workable, do you think? good morning. so everyone really playing their cards very close to their chest, but we are now heading to a potential breaking point in the brexit process. thank you very much. i am sure you have said that at some point in previous conversations, maybe this is the one! thank you. sam hallam was just 17 years old when he was convicted of murder in 2005. he served more than seven years in prison before appealjudges ruled that fresh evidence made his conviction unsafe. he was released from prison and since then has been fighting for compensation. his case — along with that of another man, victor nealon — has been rejected by both the high court and the court

of appeal and today it is being heard at the uk‘s highest court, the supreme court. a little earlier i spoke to sam‘s mother, wendy cohen and also to jodie blackstock, who‘s legal director of the pressure group justice, which released a report recently on supporting victims of miscarriages ofjustice. the group campaigns for those victims, too. jodie told me that the men have so far fallen foul of a decision in 2014 to narrow eligibility for compensation. a person who has been wrongfully convicted can now only get a pay—out if it is proved "beyond reasonable doubt" they had not committed the offence. they need to be able to show through a new fact that they did not commit the offence. that is a really high hurdle. 0ur the offence. that is a really high hurdle. our legal system does not ask that. when the court of appeal quashes a conviction it asks whether

the conviction was safe. when a jury convict someone, it decides whether they are guilty, not whether they are innocent. through all of the hurdles somebody has had to go through to get out of prison from a wrongful conviction, they have never had back question answered. at this point, when they are trying to obtain compensation for wrongful conviction, they need to show yet more evidence about the fact that they should never have been convicted. it is very tough to satisfy and nobody was able to do it last year. so your son, sam hallam, was convicted when he was 17 of murder, 2005, jailed for seven yea rs. murder, 2005, jailed for seven years. then the court of appeal com pletely years. then the court of appeal completely quashed that and said you should never have been injail, it isa should never have been injail, it is a miscarriage ofjustice. the court of appeal has already decided this man should never have been in

jail, now you are saying that in order to get compensation he must prove he did not do it? accords will not have said it was a miscarriage of justice. not have said it was a miscarriage ofjustice. those are my terms. -- the court will not upset. the court said the conviction was unsafe, a jury said the conviction was unsafe, a jury should not have convicted that evidence. it is not the role of the court, so what it never does is say we think you were innocent. that is the problem. that is what somebody is being asked to prove in order to get compensation, that only changed in 2014 so it has become tougher for people. and has changed because the government says the test was not clear before. what does miscarriage mean? we think it has made the test too hard. hello, wendy, thanks for coming on. tell me about your son and the impact that this wrongful conviction has had on his life?m

has been a nightmare. i wasjust saying tojodi, once sam was has been a nightmare. i wasjust saying to jodi, once sam was found guilty, he had no leeway, no solicitor. the campaign runners said i don't know how we got all those people, i am looking we did. so you manage to fight to eventually get his conviction quashed, he had already been injailfor his conviction quashed, he had already been in jail for seven yea rs. already been in jail for seven years. he already been in jail for seven yea rs. he leaves already been in jail for seven years. he leaves jail aged 24, innocence, in the eyes of the law. —— innocents, in the eyes of the law. what is it like for somebody to try to get their life back on track? it is hard, he is a lost son. he has completely changed what he was. he was happy—go—lucky. i can't believe there is no after—care. when you come out after something like that, andl come out after something like that, and i struggle now. when he was in

there, i had people around me, helping to fight. and ijust think... i don't know. i thought in 2012 it was over, but it is still going on and he has been at the six years. what is he like now? he was a happy—go—lucky little years. what is he like now? he was a happy-go—lucky little boy, years. what is he like now? he was a happy—go—lucky little boy, ithink he is having hard times at the moment. he has gone into... been talking to paddy hill from an organisation, and patrick mcguire. does he have somewhere to live, a job? know, and he has nowhere to live. this organisation is meant to be helping him. wendy: and jodie blackstone. still to come... a—list celebrities grace the red carpet in dresses inspired by goddesses, angels and the pope at the met gala but those wild, beautiful and bizarre clothes. but those wild, beautiful and bizarre clothes. new york‘s biggest social event of the year.

should all 25—year—olds should receive a £10,000 payment? to help towards the deposit for a house or to help start a business? that‘s the suggestion from the resolution foundation, which has published its big report on inter—generationalfairness today, following a two—year study. they also suggest that pensioners should be taxed more and the money spent on the young and the nhs. in a moment we‘ll talk about the ideas suggested — but first let‘s just run through how the generations are classified. you‘ve probably heard of millenials and baby boomers — the resolution foundation breaks society into groups based on when people were born. those born between 1911 and 1925 are part of the greatest generation, many of whom would have fought in the second world war. the next group is the silent generation — born between 1926 and before the end of the second world war — this generation reached adulthood in the 19505 and early 605. the post—war baby boomers is the next group —

they were born between 1946 and 1965. their early adult years were in the late 605 up to the early 805. this generation is beginning to reach retirement age. those in generation x were born between 1966 and 1980 — this group are probably the last generation to grow up in a pre—digital world. millennials are classified as being born between 1981 and 2000 — those in this group are now reaching young adulthood. and finally the group born after the millenium up to today are called the latest generation. let‘s talk now to: matt whittaker — from the resolution foundation nia is a millenial. she‘s 26, she‘s in zero—hours employment and doesn‘t ever see

herself owning her own house. carol is a baby boomer, so what are the challenges? it‘s time we take stock and recognise the challenges to society. because we have a large cohort coming into retirement just now, as have a large cohort coming into retirementjust now, as they age, the costs associated providing them with health and social care bill the needle escalate rapidly am a wee are looking at £24 billion by 2030 extra spending... you suggest those aged over 65 or 66 paying extra national insurance contributions to paper that specifically? that's right, if we used the usual route and put a level on income tax to raise money, we are talking 15p on the basic rate

of income tax, that doesn‘t feel generational leaf air, so instead, extending national insurance to engineers who are still working, that raises money but getting into some of the wealth we have raised as a country over the last 30—40 years, the wealth has ballooned, the amount we get from it in tax has not, we can we get from it in tax has not, we ca n start we get from it in tax has not, we can start tapping into doubt by reforming and replacing some of the most unpopular taxes which are not working. this £10,000 payment to eve ryo ne working. this £10,000 payment to everyone when they turn 25, how would that be paid for? specifically coming from the idb scrap inheritance tax which everyone hates, not many people pay it, one of the reasons they hate it, the is the perception that the best advice people out there, many of the wealthiest people are able to avoid it, they sidestep it. you are not scrapping it, you are suggesting reducing the threshold, per person? we are scrapping it and turning it into a lifetime receipt tax, per

person, under our proposal you would be able to receive up to £125,000 of inheritance over your lifetime and pay no tax, beyond that you pay 10%. it's pay no tax, beyond that you pay 10%. it‘s still there, you‘ve reduced the threshold. it makes it harder for anyone to avoid, you can‘t put money into trusts any more. i had a message on my twitter today saying why would we want to give everyone who is 2510 grand, why not save up like i had to? every generation has faced different challenges and absolutely true they beat the and older generations worked extremely ha rd older generations worked extremely hard for what they have. to put themselves through sacrifices to get themselves through sacrifices to get themselves for the arc, the difficulty for many younger people is twofold, they have entered a labour market at a time opposed financial crisis for things are harder to establish a career, people are not moving jobs, or homes but also they find it much harder to buy property to get onto the housing ladder. they could afford the

mortgage when they get there but they can‘t afford the deposit, by bringing forward some of the inheritance the older generation will pass down and share it more evenly we can give them a further chance. let's see what my other guests think, what do you think? you are 26. when you turned 25 would you have welcomed ten grand?” are 26. when you turned 25 would you have welcomed ten grand? i don't think anyone would say ten grand to that, but... would it be fair? at this point i would settle for a full—time permanent job and this point i would settle for a full—time permanentjob and a wage i could afford. yes. that would make me happy. ithink could afford. yes. that would make me happy. i think even ten grand, again, i me happy. i think even ten grand, again, lam me happy. i think even ten grand, again, i am not going to say no to that but i would be interested to see if i'd be able to get a good mortgage with ten grand deposit while still being on a zero—hour contract? i don't know the answer to that and ten grand wouldn‘t necessarily depending on you are the country wouldn‘t be enough for a deposit itself but could be a contribution. carol, as a

74—year—old, what do you think that the idea those pensioners over 65 still working contributing the national insurance to pay for any social care they might need as a pensioner? i don‘t think it‘s a bad idea. ican pensioner? i don‘t think it‘s a bad idea. i can hardly, uu, pensioner? i don‘t think it‘s a bad idea. ican hardly, uu, carol. hopefully we can turn up your volume. i don't think it's a bad idea i thought we should have some new tax set aside for health and social care bill. say a penny in the pound something like that. you'd be happy to do that rather than taxing, extra taxes on people like our other guest to is on a zero—hours contract asa26 guest to is on a zero—hours contract as a 26 well. yes. 0k. do you think as a 26 well. yes. 0k. do you think a divide between older and younger people, carol? yes, there is. i count myself fortunate. to be born

when i was, to be given good advice over the years, put money away and be in the position i am in today. and it‘s definitely tougher for your children, would you say? yes. in what way? they struggle to make ends meet. and do you help them? yes, i am ina meet. and do you help them? yes, i am in a fortunate position to be able to. do you think there is a divide between young and old? certainly, i don't think my parents owned a house at 26, if i want to owned a house at 26, if i want to own a house i am waiting for my prince to die to be able to afford to do that which is not something they have had to face. they own their home, they don't have a mortgage and again that's not something i can ever foresee myself being able to do. and what do they say about that? obviously they think

it's very difficult for me and they appreciate that, especially as i work as much as i can then i can. and i think they wish there was something they could do about it. matter from the resolution foundation, is anybody in power listening to your suggestions? were not expecting any of the political parties to take what we‘ve written today and immediately implement it at what we do know is that there is an absolute recognition in all of the parties that something has to be done, there is an issue here that intergenerational equity something rising up the agenda, we know there isa rising up the agenda, we know there is a fiscal cost, which we have to deal with and we know that young people feel disillusioned and detached from society and the stories we hear or that, within families, everybody is already trying to respond to the challenges. hit the bank of mum and dad, you have older relatives living back with their children. so families are doing their bit and want the mechanism through which they can

achieve a level society. do you think politicians are behind the way families are living and need to catch up with policies?” families are living and need to catch up with policies? i think when we talk about redrawing the intergenerational contract, holding all the homes we did at the end of the second world war to house the baby boomers, introduced the pension at the start of the 20th century, a big, bold step, many measures we announced today they are scary, they are not going to be easy to implement but i think politicians who have the vision to say we need to do something and something that needs to be bold, we can provide something they can get their teeth into. thank you all. last night celebrities such as rihanna and katy perry hit the red carpet sporting some of their most extravagant looks yet for the met gala in new york. it‘s considered the highlight of new york‘s social calendar, c:- ‘ii'i.
