that is the t-‘uiit : it-‘uc—z m controversial. that is the snp conference in edinburgh. in a moment, the headlines but first the weather with tomasz schafernaker. fairly quiet on the weather front today, tomorrow looking pretty good, a bright day on the way with sunshine, tuesday and wednesday it will be gradually warming up, temperatures up to 20 degrees. for this afternoon, fresher than that, typically 13—15 in the warmest spots, but notice across western parts of the country here, a bit more cloud, bits and pieces of light rain, mistand more cloud, bits and pieces of light rain, mist and murk overnight around the southwest, perhaps the welsh hills, but many central and eastern areas should have plenty of clear weather, and it will be nippy, particularly out of town, temperatures down to low single figures nationwide. tomorrow's forecast, a lot of bright weather around, but not necessarily clear blue skies for many of us. in fact, central areas may be cloudy, also

cloud across the west of the country, temperatures in some spots to around 17 degrees. bye—bye. hello, this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines: britain's fracking tsar quits after six months in thejob. natascha engel says ministers are paying too much attention to a small but noisy environmental lobby. a woman is shot dead and three people are injured at a synagogue in california. police are questioning a 19—year—old man who they say opened fire with an assault rifle. conservative party chairman, brandon lewis, says he still hopes the uk won't have to take part in next months european elections. security fears in sri lanka has lead to church services being cancelled — a week after easter suicide bombings by islamist militants killed more than 250 people.

he has run quicker than anyone else here before, including himself. eluid kipchoge has won the london marathon for a fourth time. the kenyan won in the second fastest time ever. britain's sir mo farah finished fifth. now on bbc news, the best of the week's exclusive interviews and reports from the victoria derbyshire programme. this week we're in the bbc‘s media cafe in central london. cheering. we are asking is that the norm for young women and men to get cosmetic procedures.

in an online poll of 1000 women aged between 18 and 30 carried out by deltapoll, almost half of those questioned said having a cosmetic procedure is now a lot like having your hair cut. the government is planning a campaign warning of the dangers of botched procedures. in an online poll of 1000 women aged between 18 and 30 carried out by deltapoll, almost half of those questioned said having a cosmetic procedure is now a lot like having your hair cut. a similar percentage — 47% — believe britain is obsessed with cosmetic procedures, and 45% say it is too easy to get cosmetic procedures in britain. i am reading this slowly because there are lots of figures to absorb. 0ver eight out of ten of the young women questioned said they would change something about their body if money and health weren't a concern.

of those, six out of ten would change their stomach, over half their boots, and four out of ten their bum. by the way, 15% of women said they would change their regina. laughter. yes. two thirds of the women we spoke to have either had a cosmetic procedure, or would consider one. only 7% of 18—30—year—old women have already had something done. of those, 27% had botox to smooth out wrinkles, 28% had lip fillers and 20% a bootjob. when thinking about any work they'd had done, over three quarters were happy with how it went. nearly seven out of ten felt more confident after. but only half felt more attractive. let's get reaction to the poll

results, and also find out what kind of procedures people have had done and why. good morning. introduce yourself. i'm megan, a tv personality and i was under a lot of scrutiny when i came out of this reality show. i had my procedures before and did it solely for me, at 17 i had my ears pinned back, at 19 i had a boot job and rhinoplasty, that was all for me. rhinoplasty is a nose job? yes, that was all for me. when i was on the television show everybody was like, she is so fake. it did not fix all my problems, i had to work on myself and do therapy, with age you learn to love yourself and become more are comfortable. you were on love island last summer? yes, and i was not aware of how much hate and trolling i had about the fact i had had cosmetic surgery. it is sad, that attitude makes

people not want to do research and they rush into it because they are scared to tell family and friends they might want a procedure forfear of being judged. soon after you came out of love island, somebody gave a picture to the media of you before you had surgery, you at school, it is just behind you. you are smiling at that, why? nobody likes looking back at pictures of them when they are young. the glasses, what the hell was i thiking 7 the scarf, the hairstyle was not cute. i did not think i was hideous. i could have had a narrower nose and bigger lips but i did not think, god, i'm hideous, and that is what i had been faced with, oh, look at you before. people were like, wait until people see what she looks like. it is horrible to shame people and that is why people do it and don't want to tell people, there is the negativity of being judged all the time

for making the choice. i'm danielle mason and i am a reality star. i have had botox and some cheap filler and lip filler. my reasons for doing it were because literally ageing, because after i have had children and things like that, the moisture had dropped from my face, it was literally to fill out. personally i do not really agree with people having all this stuff done before the age of 30, i think everybody is starting to look the same. who agrees that everybody is starting to look the same? i am aisleyne horgan—wallace, some of you might remember me 13 years ago on big brother, i am a ex—reality tv star. that series is etched in my memory. i am now an entrepreneur and have a very large property portfolio.

and also fake boobs changed my life, they certainly put me on the market to be a glamour model, from there i need huge amounts of money and changed my life from a very negative, fine wine has nothing on me, girl! look at that. but the thing that danielle was raising, do you look like everyone else? why did i shave off my eyebrows? i might look a bit like everybody else, but i am 40 and fabulous and i know i look good for my age. i worry about the younger girls who are beautiful and perfect, stop doing stuff. i am so glad that none of these facial fillers and botox and stuff was available when i was your age, because everybody is starting to look a bit uniform, they really are. i agree. but it is ok for you to have a because you are over 30?

if you have scarring and things like that it is a cosmetic thing. the doctor can treat it. if you have a scar, sometimes in botox can smooth it out. so if there is a medical reason it is all right, as opposed to vanity? when you are older, if you sleep on one side of your face it starts to cave in a little bit. it does not! for goodness' sake! doesn't it? these youngsters do not need it. i am dr nick lowe. you pioneered botox three decades ago. i did lots of cell research 30 years ago and if you start botox when you start getting lines, usually at about 25, thereon, it will be preventative

for further skin ageing. there is good evidence for that. lots of people's faces are asymmetric. there is a loss of volume on some sites, a loss of volume on the lower face... let's come back to the ages that people are having fillers and botox, for example. what kinds of women and young women come to your surgery? all ages, but the most important thing is if you have some need for facial treatment like fillers, if you have hollows, if you have scars and you think it is personally appropriate to have treatments in your 20s, maybe late teens, if they had scars and deformity. for purely cosmetic reasons, 25 onwards is appropriate unless they have medical reasons. would you like a ban on botox for people under 25? i would like restrictions on cosmetic procedures

for under 25s unless there is a good medical reason. i am charlotte, i'm a fashion and beauty blogger. i think there is a lot of social dysmorphia going on. i think you look at reality tv stars and social media stores online and you compare yourself, comparison is the devil. i have done it myself. i think it is comparison. if you have a lack of self—esteem —— i am 27, i can only imagine growing up with apps and facetune annual these ways to make yourself look a certain way. you can smooth your skin, make your breasts bigger and your bum biggerjust by doing this on the screen and you can see what you could look like. i am interested if you feel it is because of people like megan, holly, danielle and many others around the world who are putting pressure on people like yourself, and that it's leading to an increase in body dysmorphia although self—esteem, or individuals have low

you self—esteem to begin with, and what we see on social media exacerbates it? which one? the latter. they have low self esteem and it heightens it by looking and comparing. thank you. we will talk more in a moment but i want to bring a description of the various procedures that there are around. so, invasive or noninvasive, botox or fillers — what exactly are they and how are they done? here's a short film to help your understanding. cosmetic procedure is different to cosmetic surgery, or plastic surgery. cosmetic procedures are usually non—surgical, which means they don't involve incisions on the body or the removal of tissue. cosmetic surgery, or plastic surgery, like breast augmentation or brazilian but lifts, are usually done in an operating theatre. neither cosmetic procedures nor surgery are available on the nhs. usually, a cosmetic procedure like botox, should only be done once it's been prescribed by a medical professional, which means

a doctor or nurse. but it doesn't matter who administers the botox, which is why increasing numbers of beauticians are offering it. botox is probably the most well known because of the effects it can have on a patient‘s face, sometimes making them look frozen or without expression. botox is a type of protein, and when it's injected into muscle it causes the tissue to relax. so it's used to remove fine lines and wrinkles. botox usually takes a few weeks to work, and the results aren't permanent. botox can also be used for people who want to stop underarm sweat. because botox only affects certain muscles, it doesn't stop the aging process, so it can't help drooping eyelids or a sagging neck. where botox can't help, there are fillers. dermal fillers are injections used to plump out wrinkles and creases in the skin. they can increase the volume and

definition of the lips and cheeks, as well as smooth acne scars. fillers are made from a variety of materials, both natural or in a lab, and the effects can either be temporary or permanent. fillers, like collagen, which is a type of protein your body naturally produces, are temporary and last no longer than six months. but permanent fillers aren't absorbed by the body, which is why they can sometimes go wrong, making someone's face look puffy or billowy. they can also result in a so—called fish mouth, when too much filler is injected into the lip. we've touched a little bit on some of the reasons why people have cosmetic procedures — self—esteem, because you want to, pressure from social media. let's hear from more of you. i'm tyne lexy, and best known from the reality tv show love island. when i was 18 i had a breast enlargement, my only cosmetic procedure.

the first reason was because i had lost quite a little bit of weight and i found that the fatty tissue had gone from my boots when i lost weight, the second was kind of a medical reason, i had always suffered from a condition called tubular boobs, meaning the underneath of the breast is not formed as much as the top, giving them more of a pointy shape rather than the normally desired round shape, so i had a breast enlargement at the age of 18 and it is one of the best things i have ever done. i was confident before but i have even more confidence today, which i think i need when you come off reality tv. after you were on love island, how many messages did you get from cosmetic practitioners offering you further surgery? it was a daily influx of e—mails from doctors and also chest salons saying we want to offer you this, i was offered plastic filler for my nose, for myjaw, i would even have it to the extent where they had already

analysed my face from a photo and tell me where i needed it doing. how did that make you feel? wow, somebody thinks i need something doing to my face. it is a really good job that i had such a strong mum and family and i was like, do i need this? were they offering it for free? then your role would have been to promote it? hand on heart i will never do that, i know i have a young following, i am always honest about my breast procedure but i would never promote having fillers, i know that people are so young and it can be so impressionable to get it done and it is so accessible. you are nodding in agreement? i coined the phrase snapchat dysmorphia which takes into account what you talk about. two people can be the same age, one person looks at the images on social media and is not affected, the other one is. usually it is multifactorial,

it is never straightforward because a celebrity did it all you saw it on social media. i am a cosmetic doctor, as you quite rightly said a big part is environment. do you have people coming into you with a photograph of someone they want to look like? it usually changes in decades, ten years ago it was angelina jolie, everyone wanted to look like her, now it is michelle keegan. it changes, it goes around, but that is a reference point, that is ok sometimes, because people sometimes cannot articulate what they want to see or look like but if they say they want to look exactly like that person, that is a problem. what do you say? i say, no, it is not possible! it is an important discussion: why would they want to change themselves? sitting down, having a conversation to convince them why. if you say no, unfortunately, there will be someone else who says, yes. hello, i am charlotte, 19,

i'm politics student. ithink, like, instagram is such a big part of it, i don't think it is online influencers and personalities, most of them admit to having it, that is what is good compared to supermodels, supermodels will not admit. interesting that you use the word admit, like it is something to be ashamed of. i don't know what it is but some people are like, it is the fact that people, if you are in the spotlight, if you don't admit to it, you might have people think you look like that naturally. who do you admire on social media? megan. when megan came out of love island should be straight up, she said, i have had all this and i don't care, it is fine, she preaches that on social media, it is fine to do all this, that is what is good about it. but certain apps, if i am scrolling through instagram, so many people

face tuned their photos and it does not look real, i go on it, i drag it all out to the side. who uses it here, who uses facetune? i smooth in my knees! teeth whitening, smooth knees. i have never changed my body shape, one, because, i have seen people do that, and then they have seen a line, and its gets... one of the results from the poll, when people know, it is about a minority of those polled, if they find out you have had a cosmetic procedure, if you have been fake about something, they think less of you. i am a drag queen, i had surgery done three weeks ago, second nose job done,

i find it interesting we use the words natural, it's unfortunate that people are experimenting with surgery. you said really matter—of—factly, i've had my second nosejob. surgery comes with risks, things go wrong, and the reason we see it so much now on social media is because it is more common, so the same risks that have always been there with surgeries, no matter how famous you are, how much money you throw at a doctor, there are risks, because it is so, now, we are showing the worst case scenario. i used surgery to achieve my idea of beauty, we use words like a natural, i don't think it is being attractive to what is a natural, it is your own idea of beauty. people say i look botched, people say these things, recently had a brazilian bum left.

i had fat injected into the side of my hips and buttocks. i asked if it would be all right for you to show us. yes, it's fine. it looks good, right! how does it make you feel? it was something that i wanted. it was mainly the hips i wanted. i've wanted it for quite awhile. it's made me feel so confident. i feel like the person i believed i could have been with that procedure. you're still the same person, just with wider hips. i feel like because of self esteem issues, ifeel like i can say this, because i do agree with what you're saying. i don't agree with what you were saying completely about it being down to reality tv stars and social media presences.

i wasn't watching reality tv at seven years old, i was in school being bullied for the way i looked. i would say people need to look at counselling before they get these procedures. did you know this was one of the most dangerous procedures? yet, in our survey eight out of ten young women told us that they would change something about their body for money and health weren't a concern, four out of ten wanted to change the shape of their bum.

together with the videos attempting to show people how to use them. we will introduce you to a 22—year—old man called greg. he started buying dermalfillers online man called greg. he started buying dermal fillers online and self injecting. it has also injected himself with botox. he has no training, qualifications. have a look at this. i'd say it's an addiction. you lose sight of reality of what your face looks like. the products are so easy to get hold of. they wouldn't check your credentials, who you were and it just made it easy for me. started injecting, getting the look i wanted and then i thought if i can do dermalfillers, i and then i thought if i can do dermal fillers, i can and then i thought if i can do dermalfillers, i can do botox. i have often been shaking but i thought the end result, put a bit of music on in the background, watch a

bit of videos. it is quite traumatising. this has been a secret for greg for the past three years. greg is not his real name as he doesn't want his identity known. he has been buying dermalfillers and botox online and self injecting it into his face at home. it's risky and every injection is a game of russian roulette on a maze of blood vessels and veins. i started to have a problem with my lips. i woke up the next morning, my lips were un—even, one side was bigger than the other, i had blisters and it was incredibly painful so i wasn't sure what to do. i live on my own. i was quite embarrassed to seek help. what had happened? have you injected it in the wrong place? ijust assumed it was a filler and didn't look into the ingredients. i had had a

reaction to what i injected into my lips. you don't know what was in it? no. i'm not aftera lips. you don't know what was in it? no. i'm not after a percent certain what it was. getting hold of dermal filler is as easy as shopping for food online. greg has been buying them for websites like these. plastic surgeons and dermatologists have been calling for the regulation of dermalfillers in have been calling for the regulation of dermal fillers in the uk. have been calling for the regulation of dermalfillers in the uk. they wa nt of dermalfillers in the uk. they want it reclassified as a medicine and a change in law so that only trained professionals can carry it out, that would make it harder to get hold of like botox which is available on prescription but greg, who has bought it online, says you can find it if you know where to look. aside from self injecting is the so—called cowboy injectors. if you don't know what you are doing, there is a risk of necrosis, blindness, infection, long—term scarring, even facial disfigurement

and especially round the eyes, if you get the product into a vein or artery, you can go blind. it is not just self injecting that is a worry. we can reveal that safe face, a national register of accredited nonsurgical professionals, have had 413 complaints about unregistered practitioners since december, more than 300 were about dermal fillers alone and they had more than 1000 complaints in 2018. i think it should be regulated. i was doing it quite a lot and my mum was noticing that my face was very distorted and i was losing a lot of my characteristics. at the time i used to come home and visit and my face will change every time. i can't be hypocritical and say don't do it, i did rise against it because it's a slippery slope. i had something go

wrong and i still kept doing it but i wasn't aware of the risks. that is greg. what do you think of that? i wasn't aware of the risks. that is greg. what do you think of that7m is risky. i can't believe people wa nt is risky. i can't believe people want to do it but it is becoming more and more common for people to inject themselves or to go to unregulated practitioners because it is cheaper and because they are more likely to get something that perhaps a medical practitioner would say no to. i was a medical practitioner would say no to. iwas on a medical practitioner would say no to. i was on love island. a medical practitioner would say no to. iwas on love island. i had a medical practitioner would say no to. i was on love island. i had a son slight jaw asymmetry to. i was on love island. i had a son slightjaw asymmetry on my right hand side so i got some filler to evenit hand side so i got some filler to even it out. after coming off the show, and being photographed, i don't want to keep turning to the left so i thought for my career, i thought for me and myself, just to not be difficult, just have a bit of filler to balance it out. people who say this is so vain and superficial,

you say, it is my living. a lot of us, our looks are our livelihoods now and unfortunately it is the way the world is, it is based on beauty anaesthetics and i don't think it is something we can change but it is something we can change but it is something we can change but it is something we should educate ourselves better about. that is all for this week. thank you to all my guests. there is more on our website and social media. goodbye for now. fairly quiet on the weather front today compared to what we had yesterday. tomorrow it is also looking pretty good. a bright day on the way with some sunshine. tuesday and wednesday will gradually warm up, temperatures up to 20 degrees but this afternoon a bit fresher than that. typically around 13 to 15

but notice across western parts of the country there is a bit more cloud, bits and pieces of light rain, sun mist and cloud, bits and pieces of light rain, sun mistand murk cloud, bits and pieces of light rain, sun mist and murk overnight around the southwest, the welsh hills but many central and eastern areas tonight should have plenty of clear weather and it will be nippy, particularly out of town, temperatures down to low single figures nationwide. tomorrow's forecast and a lot of bright weather around but not necessarily clear blue skies for many of us. some central areas may be cloudy, also clad central areas may be cloudy, also cla d a cross central areas may be cloudy, also clad across the rest of the country but temperatures around 17 degrees. goodbye.

this is bbc news, the headlines at four: britain's fracking tsar quits after six months in thejob, blaming ministers for paying too much attention to the environmental lobby. from within, you can't do very much, and it means at the moment when you have government in such terrible paralysis, you do have to do something as dramatic as this in order to have your voice heard. a woman is shot dead and three people injured at a california synagogue. a man believed to have used an assault rifle has been arrested. still hoping britain won't take part in next month's european elections — the conservative party chairman, brandon lewis. security fears in sri lanka sees church services cancelled a week after more than 250 people were killed in the
