in poland have reached agreement over how to implement the paris accord. talks had continued for an extra day to resolve lingering issues. there've been scuffles in paris between groups of yellow vest anti—government protesters and police. it's the fifth consecutive weekend of nationwide protests in france over issues including the cost of living. ukraine's president has hailed the creation of an independent orthodox church as the final step in independence from russia. after decades of negotiations, an historic council of orthodox bishops in kiev has created a new ukrainian church. and a new tomb, believed to date back around 4,500 years, has been discovered in the saqqara pyramid complex in egypt. tolls on the two main bridges crossing the river severn into south wales, will be scrapped from monday. drivers have been charged for more than 50 years. the welsh government says removing

tolls will boost the economy by around £100 million a year, but critics say there'll be more traffic congestion. sian lloyd's report contains some flashing images. crossing the river severn into south wales has until now always come at a price. some 25 millionjourneys a year are made. lorry driver craig evans makes more than most. for 17 years, he's been delivering goods from wales across the border. this could be halfway over the bridge, and you're losing time, your driving time, you're late getting the goods delivered. it's just horrific. his firm makes 31,000 crossings every year. until recently, lorries were charged £20 a time. it's good for my company. they've got more money in to invest, which will create more jobs, but the side that i'm not looking forward to is the traffic which is going to come into wales, and from my point of view, it's going to cause more congestion.

to commemorate the first crossing of the severn bridge, i have great pleasure in unveiling this plaque. in 1966, the completion of the first bridge across the severn caused huge excitement, but the volume of traffic multiplied, and 30 years later, the prince of wales opened a second severn crossing. when this bridge returned to public ownership, the uk government announced that the tolls would go. around 100 staff are affected. among them is darren moore, who said he is sad to be losing hisjob but does have fond memories of his time in the toll booths. you'd get people turning up and going, is this the way to exeter? is this the way to scotland? because they've taken a wrong turning, and then you have to break the news that they're actually just about to enter wales.

work is now under way to remove the barriers. the aim is to save drivers money and encourage more investment in the south wales economy, but it's predicted that scrapping the tolls will increase traffic on what is already a congested stretch of the motorway. sian lloyd, bbc news, on the m4. now on bbc news it was a year that saw gender politics brought to the fore and many women across the world speaking out. in the second of a two—part series, the bbc‘s 100 women season reports on the trailblazing women who have turned their feelings of anger into a moment of action. a warning — this programme contains some nudity and coverage of issues you may find upsetting. music. hello and welcome to the bbc‘s 100 women season. i'm lebo diseko. the last 12 months has seen anger from women from around the world over sexual harassment. the movement has taken hold with women demanding change and equal treatment.

the film we're about to show you focus on women who have become trailblazers. our contributors share the moment that they decided to stand up and make a difference, to make things better for themselves and for others. we begin in ireland, where vicky phelan exposed a scandal that literally cost women their lives. she was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the cervix after incorrect smear test results gave her the all clear. when she took her case to court, she discovered she wasn't the only one. now vicky is fighting to make sure that her death is not in vain. are you having a pancake? until recently, vicky was a normal mummy — a mother living with herfamily on the west coast of ireland. herjourney to trailblazer begins in 2011 when she had a routine smear test for cervical cancer. my result came back as no abnormality detected and i'd gone on with my life raising my kids.

three years later when i went back to the next routine screening, that was when things changed. this time, it was bad news. vicky was diagnosed with cervical cancer. i was diagnosed injuly 2014, went through treatment and finished up and was given the all clear in february 2015. sadly, it came back. and injanuary this year, vicky received the worst news — now it was terminal. when you hear the word palliative, you know what that means. you know it means — this is it, this is the end, it is not curable. and people saying, you know, my legs went out from under me, well, i know what that actually feels like now. my legs were literally... i thought it was going to faint, my legs were all wobbly, i couldn't breathe.

thank god that was kind of an area where i could go to the toilet, before i went back out to face my mother and daughter and ijust had to cry and cry and cry my eyes out. 0h, there's a diamond. i got one. as family battled with the prospect that she was going to die, vicky discovered something odd in her medicalfile. cervicalcheck is the company that runs ireland's smear test. because of her 2014 diagnosis, the company took another look at her original test from 2011. this time, they concluded there had been cancer. in black and white — this report was stating that i had cancer in 2011. not query, not maybe. black an white — this was telling me i had cancer. not only was her cancer much older than she thought, but her doctor knew there had been a mistake and didn't tell herfor 15 months. what i've learned since is that if my smear in 2011 had been correctly read, i would just have had to have a hysterectomy back in 2011, my cancer would have been contained within my cervix

and i would have had a 95% chance of being cured, and i wouldn't be in a terminal cancer position that i am now. vicky sued the american laboratory that cervicalcheck used to perform the smear test and the irish health service for withholding the information from her. after several offers, she ultimately settled the case for 2.5 million euros. but with no admission of liability. the first morning i woke up and knew that there were women dead as a result of this, that really upset me. yeah. that there are 18 women dead, you know. since filming, two

more women have died — bringing that total to 20. we only know about these women because vicky refused to let the health service hush up the whole affair. they wanted me to sign a nondisclosure agreement, so they wanted to gag me basically. and i refused. i said, "no way, i'm not doing this" because at that point i knew that there were ten other women that needed to be told the same information that was withheld from me. by refusing to sign the nda, the court papers were made public and vicky exposed the scale of the crisis in ireland's screening programme. literally from that moment on, my life has not been the same. it is now known that at least 221 women with cervical cancer should have received earlier treatment. 20 women have now died. vicky is on her way to meet the husband of one of those women. when irene passed away,

she was 35 and i was 36 and had a four and a two—year—old boy. stephen is a man in the middle of a women's health scandal. all i pictured was in 10 years' time trying to explain the scandal them. and all i would have to show the death certificate and the newspaper clippings of the scandal. where have a room full of people i would think. together stephen and vicky have founded a support group for all the victims of the cervicalcheck controversy. i would never have known about this if not for the bravery of what vicky did, not signing the confidentiality agreement and taking a court case. you know, iwanted it to be not in vain. and we worked side by side to try and fight this, you know? try and get some good out of this, support the people that need it most. basically i could have been one of the women like irene — stephen's wife. it's frightened every single woman in ireland, because they don't know right now can they trust the last smear that they've had.

can you blame them when they see people like me on the tv, or hear irene's story? how many have not yet been contacted? after vicky's success in court, a review highlighted huge failings in the skinning programme run by cervicalcheck. as a result of my court case, doctors are now compelled to tell patients any information about their health. and they were supposed to apologise... the other big one that we've achieved is that the state had agreed to pay for the drug that i'm on, even though this drug is not yet licensed for cervical cancer. that is a massive leap and i think. after a fight, vicky was granted a trial for the immunotherapy drug that she is on. her tumour has already shrunk by 50%. if i did die, this is where i would be coming. not in a plot in a graveyard, it would be down here, spread my ashes, this is my favourite place.

you know, i don't want to sound morbid, but i don't know how many more days of this i have. simple as that, you know? when you're given a terminal prognosis, you just have to enjoy every day. so i do. vicky has no idea how much time she has left. but she can be assured that her struggle with the irish government has truly made a difference. 0urfilm in peru starts with shocking video of a woman being dragged by her hair in a hotel lobby. that woman was cindy arlette contreras and the man was her boyfriend. when a court gave her attacker a suspended sentence of a year, she refused to accept it. she joined up with other survivors of domestic violence to demand a change. just to warn you, there are scenes of nudity in this film, and images you may find unsettling. it's like getting a fist in your stomach.

chanting. this is a huge moment for peru. that protest is probably the most attended ever in our history. as a society, we wanted to say, you know, we want to stop these different forms of violence. we understand that it's a social problem that we want to take into our hands. so we are here saying we want to stop it. we want to do something. we do now realise that these many forms of violence are very common. you know? a daily occurrence in our life. and we are shocked to see this reality that has been i think submerged in the shadows for many, many, many years. we studied the case

of arlette contreras. we read the sentence, we saw the video that made the case public. and we also saw other media reports. the father, for example, they interviewed the father of the aggressor and he said "well, he's a child, you know, he has this childish behaviour..." he was treated like, ‘0h, he behaved badly‘. even though it was clear that she was the victim, he was treated as somebody who deserved understanding. chanting. the movement, which has its roots in argentina, grew from a spontaneous demonstration into a fully fledged continental alliance against gender—based violence. it campaigns under the #niunamenos which means "not one

less" in spanish. south korea has been a huge problem with illicit spy cameras. secret cameras placed inside women's toilets and changing rooms with the footage often uploaded onto pornography sites without the victim's knowledge. now one activist is fighting to stop the practise and to help the victims. south korea is battling with what's been described as a spy pornography epidemic. speaking korean. hidden cameras and phones capture mostly women in a state of undress in changing rooms and bathrooms. chanting. the videos are then posted online.

chanting. cheering. that's all from us. we hope you've been inspired by the stories we've shared of women demanding that their voices be heard. thanks for watching and goodbye. hello there.

good morning. the weather for sunday looks very different to saturday. things are improving now. we had everything really on the picture on saturday, including some freezing rain which is rare in the uk but also very dangerous. the worst is now over. for a short while we've got this amber snow warning from the met office for scotland, north of the central belt. but even after the early hours, towards the end of the night, even here the snow should tend to ease off. the main belt of cloud that brought that mixture of rain, snow and freezing rain, sweeping out into the north sea. that curl of cloud behind bringing some wet weather for a while in northern england, pushing into scotland, increasingly snow up over the hills as the storm moves away, leaving us with more a south—westerly airflow. and these are the temperatures we are looking at

at the end of the night. a little bit milder, still some icy patches for northern england and particularly in scotland, where there will be some further wintry showers around but the winds will be lighter by this stage. we will see those showers in scotland becoming fewer, more sunshine arriving with sunny spells for northern ireland, and the morning should be dry and sunny for most of england and wales. but we'll see this showery rain gathering across western parts of england and wales, moving through the english channel. some heavy bursts of rain in the afternoon but it will be a better day on the whole. lighter winds, much milder air across the uk as well. really cold air is still across scandinavia and across the north—east of europe. but increasingly we're getting south—westerly winds. so atlantic winds, drags in milder air, unsettled, changeable weather, yes, but on monday we are inbetween two weather fronts so most places will have a dry day, with some morning mist and fog, i think, for scotland, after that earlier snow. sunshine elsewhere. we'll see the wind picking up. it will introduce a few

showers into western areas, ahead of the main rain band which isjust holding off to the north—west even by the end of the day. but it's the southerly winds, south—westerly winds, so mild, even some double figures temperatures for belfast and the central belt of scotland. and the central belt of scotland. the main driver of the weather is going to be the area of low pressure which pushes ahead this weather front here. but it is moving very erratically eastwards, there's waves on it and that means there's pulses of heavy rain and with some snow melt, and some heaviy rain likely to be some flooding. how quickly east it moves across that's open to doubt. we may see the weather improving in northern ireland. double—figure temperatures everywhere on tuesday. while that rain moves away overnight, we are then back into sunshine and showers through wednesday and possibly into thursday but we've still got the winds from the south—west so for all of us it should be a bit milder. hello and welcome to bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. after two weeks of talks and two years of work, consensus was finally reached late on saturday evening, on international rules to tackle climate change. nearly 200 countries overcame political divisions to support the implementation of the 2015 paris agreement. that aimed to limit a rise

in average global temperatures to well below 2 degrees celsius, above pre—industrial levels. here's our science editor david shukman. this is what it's all about.
