good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: a promise to end the postcode lottery for survivors of domestic abuse, with more funding for secure housing. it was a night of celebration for manchester city as they retain their premier league crown byjust one point. wa ke wake up to the menopause! the symptoms, the silence, and the unexpected positives. as world experts gather to promote better healthcare for women, we get under the skin of the menopause. the long—term scars of the financial crisis. a decade on, how young people who started working then

are still behind now. and killing eve slays its rivals at the baftas, as it wins three awards including best actress and best drama series. good morning. we've got some patchy rain across the north of scotland this morning, but for most of us today, it is going to be dry and sunny, and getting warmer as we go through this week, remaining fairly dry, but then it changes at the end of the week. i will have more in 15 minutes. it is monday 13 may. our top story: theresa may is promising to end what she calls a postcode lottery of support for those escaping domestic abuse. councils in england will be legally obliged to provide secure homes for survivors and their children. leigh milner reports. for victims of domestic abuse, having a safe place to stay can be life—saving.

that's why, for the first time ever, councils in england will be legally required to provide secure accommodation for survivors of domestic abuse and their children. it is not yet clear, though, how much that will cost. in november, ministers awarded £2 million to buy more than 2,000 beds for refuges and other safe accommodation, as well as education and employment. this legislation comes after a new draft of the domestic abuse bill was published earlier this year. in it, it said domestic abuse victims will no longer face cross—examination in courts. controlling and manipulative non—physical abuse will be included in the government's definition of "domestic abuse",

and there will be extra support for bame and roma survivors. councils and local charities say it is a positive step, but they want to know how much money will be provided, in the face of cuts to authority budgets. a consultation on the proposals will last 12 weeks. talks between senior conservative and labour politicians will resume later in an effort to reach a deal on brexit. it comes as the shadow brexit secretary warned that almost two thirds of labour's mps would reject any agreement that failed to include a referendum. sir keir starmer also said he was not afraid to pull the plug on cross—party talks as soon as this week if the prime minister did not budge on her red lines. deaths from heart and artery disease are rising among people under the age of 75 for the first time in 50 years, according to the british heart foundation. until recently, deaths had fallen by 75% since 1971, but they went up by 3% between 2013 and 2017. the charity believes diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity are all contributing to the trend, and is calling for increased investment in research.

a lorry driver using his mobile phone to make a card payment behind the wheel was just one of thousands of dangerous drivers caught by police in england last year. highways england have been using unmarked hgvs to film drivers breaking the law, to help improve safety on our motorways and a roads. here is our transport correspondent tom burridge. court on the m40, and notjust typing away on his phone. and he's actually making a payment with his card. card in one hand, phone and the other, shopping online at the wheel. then, on the 838 near derby. he's on his phone, he's got his hands on his phone. and when changing gear momentarily, neither hand on the wheel. just like this pick—up driver on the m60 in greater manchester, whose attention also

seems to be on his phone rather than on the road. they were all caught by police officers travelling in unmarked lorry cabs which have been patrolling britain's main roads and motorways over the past year. in total, they recorded 3500 offences. nearly 1200 drivers were caught not wearing seatbelts. a similar number we re wearing seatbelts. a similar number were using mobile phones while driving, and police made 73 prosecutions for the most serious offences. this footage shows what happened when a lorry driver fell asleep at the wheel on the m6 two yea rs asleep at the wheel on the m6 two years ago, a reminder of why truck drivers have a big responsibility went out on the road. animal welfare campaigners are welcoming a new law aimed at cracking down on so—called puppy farms run by unscrupulous breeders and dealers. the legislation known as lucy's law will ensure that anyone buying or adopting a kitten or puppy under six months old deals directly with the breeder or an animal rehoming centre, rather than a pet shop or commercial dealer.

what we find is that the unscrupulous breeders that sometimes masquerade as having the mother of the listener there may not actually be doing that —— litter. and they could be involved with puppy smuggling and raising puppies and really awful conditions. and what we wa nt to really awful conditions. and what we want to do now is make sure that we put that to an end. it was a successful night for the bbc‘s killing eve at the tv baftas. the thriller took three awards, including one for best drama. the stars of the small screen gathered for the ceremony at the royal festival hall in london. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba was there. and the bafta goes to... killing eve. it was the show that kept on winning throughout the night. killing eve, about an intelligence operative and charismatic assassin,

yea rs, that hasn't been achieved in ten years, when manchester united did it back into thousand nine. and they did it in style. they had to be brighten yesterday. in the end, to ensure that they beat their title rivals, liverpool, by ensure that they beat their title rivals, liverpool, ijust ensure that they beat their title rivals, liverpool, byjust one point, in what was one the closest title races in history. it was their 14th victory in a row, and that was what was needed in the end —— beat brighton. pep guardiola said that he felt it was his most difficult legal title in his career. we have one, it's notjust my feeling, the feeling for the backroom staff and the players, and that is why i am incredibly satisfied that we have done so. to win14 in a row to retain the title, and it has —— why it has happen just retain the title, and it has —— why it has happenjust once in the last ten years is because it is so difficult. so nowjust one game, and the final of the fa cup, and take a break, and we will come back

stronger. yes, it certainly wasn't easy, you can see it in his face there, i think. easy, you can see it in his face there, ithink. at easy, you can see it in his face there, i think. at times, for both liverpool fans and for manchester city fans, this title race has been exciting, it's been compelling, but cruel, with the league leaders changing hands more than 30 times over the course of this season. and it's not over yet for either liverpool, who have the small matter ofa liverpool, who have the small matter of a champions league final in a few weeks' time, and for manchester city they got the fa cup final this weekend. so perhaps because for further celebrations next weekend. thank you so much, and i love the sort of see of luke, including your coat. thank you very much. we will see you a bit later. —— sea of blue. and you had a red onejust in case level one, is that correct? you know what, that is absolutely true. i had one in every colour, just in case. you never know. thank you very much. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily mail leads with an interview with the head

of tesco, dave lewis, who has told the paper that internet giants should pay a new sales tax to help fund struggling high street shops. there is also a picture of baby archie's feet which was posted by the duchess of sussex this weekend to mark mother's day in the us. shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer has told the guardian that any cross—party brexit deal that fails to include a referendum will not pass through parliament. sir keir added that his party could end the talks with the government within days if it becomes clear no improved offer is forthcoming from the prime minister. the headline in the express is the shock rise in heart disease deaths. the paper says the british heart foundation blames diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. there is also a picture of keeley hawes at the baftas. yemen's "forgotten" civil war is the lead in the mirror. it says it's causing the deaths of 120 children from starvation every day.

nina, good morning. what would you like to... good morning, we're talking about this escalating trade war between china and us which would have an impact on us if it escalates. we know that tariffs on chinese goods will go from 10% to 20%. a little bit of optimism this morning, donald trump's top economic adviser has said there's a strong possibility that the president will with his counterpart, xijinping, to rescue the deal at the g20 summit next month. so perhaps that won't go ahead. this is good, on the telegraph, best before revolution to target £20 billion of food waste. the idea is that food which is just approaching its best before date will be taken off the shelves in advance and handed out to charities and resold to make sure there is less waste, and that in restaurants you might be offered a smaller portion for a lesser price, with any food waste and being handed out.|j spotted the same story, chips to

face the chop. is that in a different paper? restaurants will serve smaller portions of chips and offer doggy bags to cut food waste. that is good, though, especially with the obesity crisis. sometimes i can't finish it, sol with the obesity crisis. sometimes i can't finish it, so i do take it home. chips aren't a treat for everyone, some people have too many chips. saving billions of meals, we waste 10.2 million tons of food every single year. well, 500 quid per household, that is not my household. we never put any food in the bin. don't you? know, because we hate food waste. this is from the times, an interesting story about special—needs children, privately educated children are more likely than those that state schools being registered as having learning difficulties. the number with needs

has fallen at state schools but in the private sector, dyslexia, dyspraxia, diagnosis has increased by 30%, analysis showing, leading to fears of system wealthy parents are more likely to get a diagnosis which can help their children with dispensations, like extra time or specialist equipped. because the kids who need it most aren't being diagnosed. if they have conditions like that, you'd think it was fair. i've got one. go on. i think mine is better. the cobfather. this is a spoof of the godfather films, a landing role, starring role in bolton, a spoof gangster character

we have to take on another bagel company. getting into the bagel business has been fun. i love the thought you might be walking to a supermarket in bolton. this is a very difficult edition of wares wally. a picture the himalayas. i will let our beautiful camera get involved. can you spot the snow leopard? some serious camouflage going on. keep looking. it took me about two minutes to find it. just below the snow. 0h, about two minutes to find it. just below the snow. oh, well. you can just spot the eye. can anybody see it? it doesn't look like a cosy spot for another. look at that. we will see a bit later. carol is looking at

the weather. you did mention warmth in the headlines. that's right. good morning everybody. today, we're going to see temperatures higher than they were yesterday and as we go through this week, that will be the case wednesday, being the warmest day. a beautiful start today for some of us. a lovely sunrise, and as we mentioned this week, is going to be mainly dry and settled. it's warming up. we will send to the mid 20s, parts of scotland with the highest temperature is likely to be by wednesday but towards the end of the week, it looks like changes afoot again. is dominating the weather, a week with front moving across, producing and patchy rain. that will clear before midday and for all of us, look at this. hardly a cloud in the map. through the day, we will start to see some cloud blood, generally the sunshine hazy. quite breezy through the english

channel, the channel islands and coastline of javelin —— coastline of devon and cornwall. temperatures 11-19 oh devon and cornwall. temperatures 11—19 oh parts of north—west scotla nd 11—19 oh parts of north—west scotland and west of northern ireland could hit 20 today. do this evening, a lot of sunshine around an overnight under clear skies, for some, the temperature will fall away, possibly low enough for a touch of frost cross parts of central and southern england, east anglia into the south—east in rural locations but for most, this won't be an issue. we start on a chilly night tomorrow. i pressure still firmly in charge. it will always be chillier in the south—east, particularly the coastline, still breezy through the english channel. still pretty warm as we push up towards the north—west we can easily be seeing temperatures into the low 20s but seeing temperatures of 20 in annan broke, 19 in cardiff but 15 in

norwich in the breeze. as we start off on wednesday, another cool start off on wednesday, another cool start of the day but it will be largely dry. afair of the day but it will be largely dry. a fair bit of sunshine, some cloud building as we go through the course of the day, sunshine will turn a bit milky but for others, still a pleasant day. still cool where we've got that easterly wind coming in from the north sea in the south—east but as we push up towards the west, 18 in belfast and summer in the north—west, it will hit 23 or 24. that's way above average for this stage in may. thursday, once again, a lot of dry weather around, again, a lot of dry weather around, afair bit again, a lot of dry weather around, a fair bit of sunshine. if you are a farmer or grower, screaming out the rain. you can see temperatures again into the high teens and for some, the low 20s but thank you very much.

it's 20 minutes past six. councils in england are being told they need to give more protection to thousands of women seeking refuge from abusive relationships. all local authorities will have a legal duty to provide secure homes for survivors and their children, to end what the prime minister has described as a "postcode lottery" of support. charlotte near lived with an abusive partner and now runs a refuge in surrey. i remember meeting you just a few weeks ago. do you think this is a good thing? the councils will be able to provide secure accommodation? when i heard the news yesterday, i was completely overwhelmed and was very emotional and crying when i heard because this is something that we have campaigned, lots of other campaigners have been asking for

yea rs campaigners have been asking for years and years,. 's what the moment, tell us about it because i know you work in a refuge. are you having to turn away survivors? i think the figures are about six of every ten women that call for a refuge space actually can't get a space. the real issue with this is, local authorities have been squeezed over the years and have been looking for cuts, easy cuts to make and u nfortu nately, refugees for cuts, easy cuts to make and unfortunately, refugees have been one of the main casualties. the real beauty of this, of paying a legal duty on local authorities to provide refuge space is means that they are going to have to do that and hopefully this is the start of securing the future for refugees. making sure every single woman that needs a space can get a space and at the moment, that isn't the case stop can see why this is momentous news

for us. i know you went to one yourself. how much difference did it make to your life? having a safe place to go is a human right. we should all be able to be safe. for me and many other women, having a refuge is life—saving and we always feel absolutely terrible when we have to say to somebody sorry, we've got so this is absolutely critical and just overjoyed. as far as i understand it, you can't how local women. is that because the nature of why they are being housed? this goes back to putting the duty on local authorities, can you can imagine if you were a fleeing an abusive situation, you wouldn't want to go toa situation, you wouldn't want to go to a refuge if it was in your town the local area because you might bump intoa the local area because you might bump into a perpetrator when you're

out shopping so if you're fleeing to a refuge, you have to go a long distance away and the reason that local authorities have cut funding for refuges is because it's an easy cuts to make. they are not services for local women. this really is momentous for us. nice to speak to you. thank you. menopause — it's something that affects half of the population, yet is often referred to as a ‘silent taboo'. so all this week on bbc breakfast we're aiming to change that, by having an open and honest conversation with women who've been there, done that. first up, we visited the horniman museum and gardens in london to hear how it can also have a positive impact. we called the menopause the change in here we are in this butterfly

house where butterflies change to their life—cycle but we should embrace it. i don't want women to be scared of the menopause. some people associated with ageing and think it's a sign of old age but it's really not. it's going to be the most amazing time for many women. 0ne most amazing time for many women. one of the best things about the menopause is no one of the best things about the menopause is no more one of the best things about the menopause is no more periods! symptoms, some of them was horrendous. i'd come through the other end horrendous. i'd come through the otherend and horrendous. i'd come through the other end and now i'm enjoying life just like any other women, young, middle—aged, old. just like any other women, young, middle-aged, old. it needs no longer to bea middle-aged, old. it needs no longer to be a taboo subject. in many cultures, people are afraid of losing their husbands, their identity, themselves. this isjust pa rt of identity, themselves. this isjust part of nature and part of our body transforming and changing. even though i'm still going up and down, the days when i have just this confidence of power, i feel strong

menopause, what are faces you have in your mind? someone like this? or like all of these amazing women, good morning, ladies. we're going to be chatting to literally hundreds women over the course of the week. every day this week, put one thing to you? we need to be positive about this. we need to raise awareness. we are going to have loads more the course of this morning but the news, travel and whether worry vur this morning. —— wherever you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. a new report's criticised screening services for cervical cancer in the capital, revealing london has one of the lowest take up rates. the public accounts committee analysed data from across england and wales. here in the capital it found

none of the clinical commissioning groups met their screening targets, partly blamed on failing it systems. london i think has got the lowest in terms of screening coverage, that's a real concern. in some places on certain age groups, it's less than half going and of 270 across england, only one actually reach their targets. so it's about local authorities looking at the communities. they whole whole host of data about their communities and looking at how they can use the data to look at ways to improve access and coverage. prosecutors in sweden will announce this morning whether they will re—open their investigation into a rape allegation against the wikileaks founder, julian assange. the inquiry was dropped two years ago because mr assange, who denies the claims, had taken refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in knightsbridge. after being arrested and removed from the building last month, he was jailed for 50 weeks for breaching his bail conditions. now, when it comes to thrill seeking — age really is no barrierfor one woman from fulham in south—west

a lorry driver using his mobile phone to make a card payment behind the wheel was just one of thousands of dangerous drivers caught by police in england last year. highways officers have been using unmarked hgvs to film drivers breaking the law. they say it is to help improve safety on our motorways and a roads. animal welfare campaigners are welcoming a new law aimed at cracking down on so—called puppy farms, run by unscrupulous breeders and dealers. the legislation known as lucy's law will ensure that anyone buying or adopting a kitten or puppy under six months deals directly with the breeder or an animal rehoming centre, rather than a pet shop or commercial dealer. what we find is that the unscrupulous breeders that sometimes masquerade as having the mother of the litter there may not actually be doing that, and they could be involved with puppy smuggling, and raising puppies in really awful conditions.

and what we want to do now is make sure that we put that to an end. prosecutors in sweden will announce this morning whether they will reopen their investigation into a rape allegation against the wikileaks founder, julian assange. the inquiry was dropped two years ago because mr assange, who denies the allegation, had taken refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london. after being arrested and removed from the building last month, he was jailed for 50 weeks for breaching his bail conditions. killing eve cleaned up at last night's television baftas, with the bbc series picking up three awards. the thriller won best actress, best supporting actress and best drama series, while another bbc series, bodyguard, won the award for must—see moment. itv picked up awards for i'm a celebrity...get me out of here and britain's got talent. the writer of killing eve, phoebe waller—bridge, explained why the programme's success means so much to her. you worked so hard and you really

now back to the football, and there has been plenty of reaction to man city's title win on twitter. gary lineker praised the club, tweeting: and brighton and hove albion, the club man city beat 4—1 yesterday afternoon, said: man city striker sergio aguero said... and liverpool player trent arnold reflected on his club's runner—up position: because that will be important, won't it? it is interesting about what we were talking about yesterday, whether liverpool had a

failed season or not, finishing second. and your view is? i don't think it is, they have the champions league still to come, and the other thing is 97 points would have been enough to win the premier league in all but the last two seasons, so it has been a great season for them and they have pushed manchester city all they have pushed manchester city all the way. and if you are waking up as a liverpool supporter you might feel a liverpool supporter you might feel a bit disappointed. disappointed, yes, but also... ican a bit disappointed. disappointed, yes, but also... i can imagine the tweets coming in. no-one is happy with second place, but you have still had a good season. it could win brilliantly if you win a sixth european crown. shall we go to where they definitely will have been happy this evening? holly is at the etihad. good morning to you. good morning, louise. there has definitely been some signs of celebration and rightly so for

manchester city fans. what a season that has been. you have summed it up, just incredible. when you think about it, it is only the eighth time in history the title race has gone down to the final day between manchester city and liverpool, and it ended up having to be 14 victories in a row for manchester city to ensure that they win this bad boy, the premier league trophy for the second year in a row. that in itself is something that hasn't been achieved in ten years, since manchester united did it back into thousand and nine. they did it with a sprint finish in brighton, as adam wilde reports. still premier league champions, manchester city. after all the drama, all the excitement, manchester city have done it again. to come this far and to win this premier league was a fantastic achievement. we are so happy. now it's time to celebrate. but before the celebrations, before the adulation, for manchester city there was just adulation, for manchester city there wasjust tension. even adulation, for manchester city there was just tension. even the very best get nervous sometimes. this was

manager pep guardiola an hour before kickoff, alone with his thoughts. loan thought of just kickoff, alone with his thoughts. loan thought ofjust one thing. victory would see his side win another premier league title, which was all in city's hands. at enfield, liverpool were waiting for any slipup. when they took the lead against wolves, the impossible seemed a little less so. that news filtering through to those on the south coast, moments before the unthinkable. it's all going wrong for manchester city. but even after football's most extraordinary week, this was one twist to many. within seconds, manchester city were level, and before the break things had turned around completely. laporte changing the blue mood in brighton. i moment of brilliance from larry mahrez, and the move is finally starting to lift. this freekick is kickstarting the celebrations for

real. the party in brighton matched by the wild celebrations back home in manchester. i was born on main road, i have lived here my whole life, and it isjust road, i have lived here my whole life, and it is just outstanding. i'm just proud. we have struggled in europe, but now we've got back—to—back, we've europe, but now we've got back—to— back, we've proved europe, but now we've got back—to—back, we've proved we are one of the greatest teams the premier league has ever seen. emotion also in liverpool. disappointment, of course, but also great pride in a side that has come so great pride in a side that has come so close. very disappointing, but we played a part as well. we won the game, that's all we could do. but city have done better than us. to push through after the season we had la st push through after the season we had last year has been a tremendous effort, brilliant season. but the last words came from city, and they we re last words came from city, and they were words everyone knew. # you i wonder well. addressing a singalong led by noel gallagher himself, manchester city, champions again. ——

wonderwall. what a season, what a finale, what a climax. 0ne what a season, what a finale, what a climax. one point in the end between liverpool and manchester city, but plenty of celebrations last night. the fans to travel all the way up from brighton, and the players, as well. right here to the etihad, and there is a little bit of a clean—up operation going on outside now, but definitely worth the celebrations. someone who was enjoying part of that was rachel, whojoins me now. she plays for the women's team at manchester city, and was there last night handing out those medals. what was that like? it was just a night handing out those medals. what was that like? it wasjust a surreal experience, it was a day i will never forget. i just love experience, it was a day i will never forget. ijust love doing every second of it. it has been a pretty stressful season, hasn't it? imean, and pretty stressful season, hasn't it? i mean, and 14 wins in a row for manchester city, in the end. put that into context. how difficult was that into context. how difficult was that to watch? a lot of sweat, no,

it was just a great season. i mean, the boys truly deserve this trophy. they worked their hardest, fair play to them. it was a tough season and it was really thrilling to watch, but massive congratulations. and two yea rs but massive congratulations. and two years ina but massive congratulations. and two years in a row, what does that mean for the club and what does it say about guardiola? well, we wouldn't be here without him, i guess. he is just a really great guy. be here without him, i guess. he is just a really great guylj be here without him, i guess. he is just a really great guy. i supposed to maintain that level of consistency, for pep guardiola, for the club to do that two years in a row, with competitors like liverpool hot on their heels, i mean, that says a lot about the mentality here. yes, like, liverpool really deserve credit. i am a city fan myself, and they did really, really well. it was so, so close. you know, they could

have had it. but we werejust lucky, and we played a good game yesterday. and be honest, there were 83 seconds during that game when liverpool went ahead initially over wolves. how nervous were you at that point? you know, i was with the fans and pretty much everyone was on their phones, because it had popped up that liverpool had scored, and we were all thrilled, but we just kept edging out him on and we were chatting and we eventually got the win. congratulations to you, congratulations to the fans. enjoy the celebrations, and i hope you get some sleep at some point, because you have not had much, have you?” have had three or four hours of sleep, but it is worth it. away from the title race, tottenham secured a top—four finish. they drew 2—2 with everton in theirfinal match, christian eriksen with tottenham's second, who finish in the top four for a fourth successive season. tottenham's win also meant their north london rivals arsenal finished fifth. they ended their season with a 3—1win at burnley. pierre—emerick aubameyang scored twice for arsenal,

meaning he ends the season as the league's joint top—scorer, with 22 goals, alongside liverpool's sadio mane and mo salah. and manchester united's dreadful end to the season was completed with a 2—0 defeat at home to already—relegated cardiff city. they finish the campaign in sixth place, and 32 points off top. the scottish title was all resolved some time ago, but there was still the small matter of the final old firm game of the season. rangers secured back—to—back home wins over celtic for the first time in seven years. 2—0 the final score, ending champions celtic‘s 12—game unbeaten run. away from football, lewis hamilton is back on top of the standings in formula 0ne's world drivers championship. it's after he won the spanish grand prix for a third year in a row. mercedes teammate valtteri bottas finished second, with max verstappen third. it's hamilton's third

win of the season. pretty grateful for this incredible team, continuing to push the limits, bring some upgrades here which have really added to the cost performance and we are creating history day by day or weekend by weekend and incredibly proud to be a part of that. it was a day to forget for england bowlerjames anderson yesterday after he was hit on the leg with a cricket ball whilst playing for his county lancashire. anderson limped off mid over because of the injury. and it got worse for anderson, as his side were beaten by defending champions hampshire in the semi—finals of the one—day cup. hampshire winning by four wickets, and will play somerset in the final on 25 may after they beat nottinghamshire. warrington wolves will play hull kr in the quarter—finals of rugby league's challenge cup. that is after warrington beat wigan warriors in a really tight

match, winning 26—24. st helens are also through after beating huddersfield. swedish golfer marcus kinhult has won his first european tour title. with a four—way play—off looming at the british masters, kinhult putted this birdie on the final hole to secure a one—shot win in southport. pascal akerman has one the grand tour stage when in italy. thank you very much. it's been a witty weekend. i didn't mean to interrupt you. we'll be back at the lovely sea of blue a bit later. i am looking at

all our bbc menopause tweets. starting that conversation here. we talked about it before on bbc brick list. this week, as part of bbc brea kfast‘s "wa ke up to the menopause" series, we're looking at ways of breaking the taboos around something that affects all women. it's an experience that transcends race, colour and creed, i have been talking to carol, naga and sally and we will see that in a few moments but more importantly, same importance, the weather. bless you, that was a really interesting chat. i found bless you, that was a really interesting chat. ifound out things ididn't interesting chat. ifound out things i didn't know either. this morning, we have a beautiful start of the day for many parts, lovely weather watches pictures sent in from eastbourne and it's going to be mainly dry and settled. it's also going to warm up. the highest temperatures are likely to be in the north and west. a bit cooler in parts of the south—east. this is because high—pressure is dominating our weather. the area wondered moves

ina our weather. the area wondered moves in a clockwise direction. we are pulling more of an easterly but as we move over towards the west, it's more of a southerly. a chilly start for some this morning but a lot of sunshine around. a bit more fair weather cloud will build. we lose the rain early on. temperatures ranging from 11—19. to the west of northern ireland, inland western scotland, we could hit 20 or 21. what are easy as well across the english channel and all areas of the channel islands, adjacent to it. through this evening, a lot of evening sunshine to forward to. as we go through the overnight period, it will hardly seem like a cloud in the sky. a bit of missed forming there and temperatures not falling too far away tomorrow but in rural parts of east anglia, central and southern england, it mayjust in pockets below enough for a touch of

cost. a chilly start of the day tomorrow but another dry one. a belter if you like it dry, sunny and warm. if you are crying out for rain, it will be disappointing. it's going to be easy across the english channel. breezy around this corner of england. that will peg back the temperatures but you can see how they are, 19, 24 some of us. a bit higher than that. particularly in the north—west. wednesday looks like being the warmest day of the week after a chilly start. a lot of dry weather and a lot of sunshine around. an easterly flow coming in. making it feel a bit cooler and still also across the english channel. when i say cooler, i'm using that word loosely, cooler than it's going to be further north because by the time we get to wednesday, parts of northern and western scotland, northern england, western scotland, northern england,

we could be looking at 23 or 24 degrees. 0n we could be looking at 23 or 24 degrees. on thursday, after a chilly start, looking at a lot of dry weather, some fair weather cloud developing as we go through the course of the day, still quite breezy in the south, still that easterly feed and temperatures ranging from about 11—19 but still, potential for them to be that little bit higher however as we head into the weekend, friday, looks like it's going to cool down surface some of us, there is the chance of some rain. as carol was saying, she was part of that conversation, analyst chat. we went to a cinema and we watched a film about attitudes to menopause over the last few decades and if you look back into the 1960s, it's really quite shocking and was changed, what we know about it, what we don't know about it, trying to a nswer lots we don't know about it, trying to answer lots and lots of your questions over this week and see how

things affect different women all over the world. it's an experience that transcends race, colour and creed, yet for millions of people around the world, it remains woefully misunderstood. our global health correspondent tulip mazumdar has been to bangladesh, where she's been speaking to four pioneering doctors aiming to change minds there. these women are on a mission. they've been biking through bangladesh, hoping to smash through the national taboos surrounding menstruation. menstruation is in some places still considered a paranormal activity. that is weird, but yes, that is true. and that's why we thought that they should know their reproductive system. they should know what is menstruation, and it's not something to be afraid of. clean water and private toilets are rare luxuries in parts of the country. many girls reuse cloth rags rather than use sanitary towels. the rags can cause infection if they are not washed and stored properly. this is all vital information that is being spread to help empower

women and girls. the doctors are also throwing in some lessons in self—defence. after the success of this mission, the travelettes of bangladesh are looking at tackling an even greater taboo — the menopause. menopause, it's just ignored, because the women who are about the age of the menopause, they don't talk about that. they don't know about this topic, because it's not well spoken about. so the mood swings, the hot flushes and the medical problems persist. they just think that it's an ageing problem. doctors here say 99% of women won't see a clinician about menopausal problems, even though symptoms can be treated. for some, the menopause is a relief

after years of having multiple babies, but in many of these patriarchal communities, it can have another significant impact on women's lives. when a woman gets older, it is seen that men tend to opt for another marriage, because she is not fertile anymore. women are considered — they are terribly old if they reach menopause. 45 and 50 is not that old. armed with better education about their bodies, it is hoped these girls will lead healthier, happier lives, as the mission to encourage more communities to open up about women's health continues. that is one initiative, and we will be talking about this programme on other initiatives. the hashtag is

#bbcmenopause. we will leave plenty of time to read out your comments and questions. that was the point to getting you and carol and naga and sally together. young people who started work during the financial crisis are still feeling the negative effects of it, according to a new report. nina has all the details. what's this all about nina? that's right. we've talked lots on breakfast over the last ten years or so about the financial crisis. you'll remember it started in the us but hit us here, with banks needing to be bailed out by the government. now this report is about what they've called, "the crisis cohort" young people who entered the workplace between 2008 and 2011 — so they'd be 27 to 32 depending on whther they went in to further edu and has found they are still feeling the impact now. they're being called "the crisis cohort" —

people who graduated or started work between 2008 and 2011. so they'd be 27 to around 32 — depending on whether they went on to further education. school leavers with gcses were a third less likely to find a job at the time. that lasted for a decade. not only that, if you did get a job, you got paid about 6 % less than people starting the samejob before — and after — the crisis. the government told us unemployment is at a record low and that they've introduced new programmes to help improvejob prospects. but some people clearly still feel like they've been left behind. i was mainly applying for retail roles and in one interview, i was interviewed against other people who had a business degree and i was like, wow, iwasn't had a business degree and i was like, wow, i wasn't expecting to come across that in interview at the timei come across that in interview at the time i was 18. that was carol. what can be done to change it? the

economists who wrote this report, the resolution foundation, what the government to recognise this is a problem. 0ffer government to recognise this is a problem. offer some financial support or training but also to be mindful this could happen again. the first is recognise what happened to those young people who came of age during the crisis and get them moving on to betterjobs, help her pay progression and look forward to the next crisis which is likely to be closer than the last and there will be a new generation that is scarred in future need to help that generation when we can. the government have told us they have halved youth unemployment since 2010 but the jury is out as to whether specific support that is needed by these people is out there. you're watching breakfast. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. a new report's criticised screening

services for cervical cancer in the capital, revealing many women are missing out. the public accounts committee analysed data from across england and wales. here in the capital, it found none of the clinical commissioning groups met their screening targets last year, partly blaming failing it systems. london i think has got the lowest in terms of screening coverage, that's a real concern. i think in some places in certain age groups, it's less than half are going. out of 270 ecgs across england, only one actually reached their targets. london, none were hit whatsoever. so it's about local authorities looking at their communities. they hold a whole host of data about their communities, and actually looking at how they can use their data to understand why people aren't going, how they can improve access and improve coverage. the outgoing head of the national audit office has warned it would be difficult to cancel the hs2 high speed rail project now because of the costs involved. the controversial line is designed to cut journey times and relieve congestion

on the existing railway between london and birmingham, manchester and leeds at a cost of £56 billion. now when it comes to thrill seeking, age really is no barrierfor one woman from fulham in south west london. mollie macathney is 93 years young — a former wren during the war — and now a frequent flyer and horse rider. she says doing new and exciting things has helped herfeel young at heart. well, i sat on a donkey when i was three. that's 90 years ago. never say no, you'd be surprised. all sorts of wonderful things come out of it. it really is great fun. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube — there are severe delays on the district line betweeb dagenham east to plaistow. and also on rge hammersmith & city line from liverpool street to

barking. 0n the raods — this is how the a13 looks. usual delays coming in to town at dagenham. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's quite a chilly start out there this morning, temperature down in low single figures celsius but it's dry and it's sunny. plenty of sunshine today. in fact, there's very little cloud around. a gentle breeze which will make it a little bit cooler out towards the essex coast as it's an easterly but elsewhere, the temperature rising steadily, much more settled weather this week, we're looking at a maximum today of around 17 celsius. now, overnight tonight, lovely evening with some late evening sunshine before it sets and then a clear night. there mayjust be a little bit of mistiness by dawn tomorrow morning but largely a bright start. temperatures again potentially out in the suburbs, quite low, around 3 or 4 celsius. central london, though, around 7. so as we head through tomorrow, tuesday is very similar, plenty of sunshine. it's dry and temperatures just that little bit higher. 17 or 18 celsius, similar conditions for wednesday but through thursday,

it starts to change slightly, more cloud, temperatures a touch cooler. there's more from us in around half an hour. you can check out our website for more at the usual address. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: a promise to end the postcode lottery for survivors of domestic abuse, with more funding for secure housing. it was a night of celebration for manchester city as they retain their premier league title byjust one point. joy for man city, but it was bittersweet for liverpool. the second year in a row they have one that premier league title, and

they did it in style in brighton. we will have more reaction later in the programme. it might be priceless for the fans, but does success make any difference to the finances of football clubs? wake up to the menopause! the symptoms, the silence and the unexpected positives. as world experts gather to promote better healthcare for women, we get under the skin of the menopause. and killing eve slays its rivals at the baftas, as it wins three awards including best actress and best drama series. i would love to dedicate this award to my nanna, francis, who passed away sadly in the first week of filming. she was the life and soul of everything, and when she was here she said to me, you get it off me, you know! are dry and sunny day than yesterday, and that pretty much

describes this week. dry, settled and warmer. i will have more in 15 minutes. it is monday 13 may. our top story: the prime minister is promising to end what she calls a postcode lottery of support for those escaping domestic abuse. local authorities in england will be legally obliged to provide secure homes for survivors and their children. leigh milner reports. for victims of domestic abuse, having a safe place to stay can be life—saving. that's why, for the first time ever, councils in england will be legally required to provide secure accommodation for survivors of domestic abuse and their children. local authorities have been obviously squeezed over the years, and have been looking for cuts, easy cuts to make, and unfortunately refuges have been one of the main casualties of that. so the real beauty of this, of putting a legal

duty on local authorities to provide refuge spaces, means that they are going to have to do that. it is not yet clear, though, how much that will cost. in november, ministers awarded £22 million to buy more than 2,000 beds for refuges and other safe accommodation, as well as access to as education and employment. this legislation comes two months after a new draft of the domestic abuse bill was published earlier this year. in it, it said domestic abuse victims will no longer face cross—examination by their abusers in family courts. controlling and manipulative non—physical abuse will be included in the government's definition of "domestic abuse". and there will be specialist support for black, asian and minority ethnic, and roma survivors. councils and local charities say it is a positive step,

but they want to know how much money will be provided, in the face of cuts to authority budgets. a consultation on the proposals will last 12 weeks. talks between senior conservative and labour politicians will resume later in an effort to reach a deal on brexit. it comes as the shadow brexit secretary warned that almost two thirds of labour's mps would reject any agreement that failed to include a referendum. sir keir starmer also said he was not afraid to pull the plug on cross—party talks as soon as this week if the prime minister did not budge on her red lines. a lorry driver using his mobile phone to make a card payment behind the wheel was just one of thousands of dangerous drivers caught by police in england last year. highways england have been using unmarked hgvs to film drivers breaking the law, to help improve safety on our motorways and a roads. here is our transport correspondent tom burridge. caught on the m40, and notjust typing away on his phone.

still texting — and he's actually making a payment with his card. card in one hand, phone in the other, shopping online at the wheel. then, on the m38 near derby... he's on his phone. he's got his hands on his phone. and, when changing gear momentarily, neither hand on the wheel. just like this pick—up driver on the m60 in greater manchester, whose attention also seems to be on his phone rather than on the road. they were all caught by police officers travelling in unmarked lorry cabs which have been patrolling britain's main roads and motorways over the past year. in total, they recorded 3,500 offences. nearly 1,200 drivers were caught not wearing seatbelts. a similar number were using mobile phones while driving. the police made 73 prosecutions for the most serious offences. this footage shows what happened when a lorry driver fell asleep

at the wheel on the m6 two years ago, a reminder of why truck drivers have a big responsibility when out on the road. really shocking footage, isn't it? animal welfare campaigners are welcoming a new law aimed at cracking down on so—called puppy farms run by unscrupulous breeders and dealers. the legislation known as lucy's law will ensure that anyone buying or adopting a kitten or puppy under six months deals directly with the breeder or an animal rehoming centre, rather than a pet shop or commercial dealer. what we find is that the unscrupulous breeders that sometimes masquerade as having the mother of the litter there may not actually be doing that, and they could be involved with puppy smuggling, and raising puppies in really awful conditions. and what we want to do now is make sure that we put that to an end. it was a successful night for the bbc‘s killing eve at the tv baftas. the thriller took three awards,

including one for best drama. the stars of the small screen gathered for the ceremony at the royal festival hall in london. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba was there. and the bafta goes to... ..killing eve. it was the show that kept on winning throughout the night. killing eve, about an intelligence operative and a charismatic assassin, took three awards including best drama and best actress forjodie comer, who paid tribute to the show's creator, phoebe waller—bridge. phoeb, i feel so lucky not only to say that i have worked with you, but to call you a friend. you are the most talented person i know. thank you for being such an inspiration. i would love to dedicate this award to my nanna, francis, who sadly passed away. when she was with me

she said to me, you get it off me, you know. i would really to get away from new york, if at all possible. there were two awards for drama patrick melrose, best miniseries and best actor for benedict cumberbatch. no chance of a rushjob? double success too for declan donnelly, together with partner ant, for britain's got talent, which won best entertainment show, and with stand—in partner holly willoughby for i'm a celebrity, which won best reality and constructed factual. i'd like to say a thank you to holly for helping me out last year. we did a fantasticjob, standing in for ant. best tv moment went to bbc 0ne's bodyguard for a shock moment involving the show's main characters. and the bafta goes to eastenders. and eastenders beat rivals coronation street to win the prize for best soap and continuing drama, on a night where the bbc won more than half the evening's awards.

and bbc sport won a bafta as well, for coverage of england against sweden at the world cup. congratulations. i will take full responsibility. the duchess of sussex has posted a picture of her son archie's feet to celebrate her first us mother's day as a parent. the royal couple shared an image on instagram of meghan holding her son's heel. the caption paid tribute to all mothers today, past, present, mothers—to—be, and those lost but forever remembered. it was mother's day in the united states yesterday. if there was a bafta for whether... we know who would win it. if there was a bafta for whether... we know who would win itm if there was a bafta for whether... we know who would win it. it would go to lady kirkwood, every year. i don't think so, bless you both. a chilly start to the day, but for many of us it is a gorgeous one, if you like it sunny, as you can see

from our weather watch a's picture from our weather watch a's picture from south wales. as we go through this week, it will be mainly dry and settled, and it is warming up as high pressure is firmly in charge of our weather. this morning, week one front is skating across the northern isles with some rain. will clear, and you will join isles with some rain. will clear, and you willjoin in the sunshine. and the airaround and you willjoin in the sunshine. and the air around an area of high—pressure moves in a clockwise direction, so you can see it will be breezy in the south—east. this week it will not be as warm as is elsewhere. it if we follow the wind arrows around the wind is coming from a south—westerly direction. parts of the west of northern ireland and inland northern and western scotland could hit 20 or 21 degrees today. but generally we are looking at 11—19 and a bit cooler on the coastlines, especially in the south—east. it is going to be breezy. anywhere adjacent to the english channel coastline, devon and cornwall, the channel islands as we go through the course of the day,

and also tonight. so early evening sunshine to look forward to, overnight under clear skies it will be cold. in some parts of the south—east, central and southern england and east anglia, in rural areas, temperatures could follow enough for a touch of frost, but for most of us that will not be the case. there will be a little bit of mr not much more. so it the day tomorrow. still a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine. still this southerly component to the wind in the west, and easterly component as we move into the south—east, and still breezy across the english channel. in the sunshine, temperatures climbing up to 20, possibly 21 degrees. always cooler, again, in the south—east. when i say cooler, still pretty good for the time of yearfor cooler, still pretty good for the time of year for many ofjust not as warm as it is going to be further north. another chilly start on wednesday, a lot of dry weather around, a breeze coming in across east anglia and the south—east. but we could well see the highest temperatures again somewhere across northern and western scotland,

northern and western scotland, northern england, inland we could hit 23 or 24 degrees. but for the rest of the uk, we are looking at roughly 12 to about 20. thursday sta rts roughly 12 to about 20. thursday starts off on a nippy note once again, witha starts off on a nippy note once again, with a lot of dry and settled conditions around. still that easterly component to the wind in eastern areas. still more of a southerly component as we push further west, and our temperatures 11 to 17, 18 further west, and our temperatures 11 to17, 18 or further west, and our temperatures 11 to 17, 18 or 19. for friday and into the weekend, wouldn't you know it, it cools down. if you are crying out for it, it cools down. if you are crying outfor rain, it, it cools down. if you are crying out for rain, at least there is the chance of rain in those few days. thank you very much. the menopause is something that affects half the population, yet for many, it remains a taboo subject, in fact many women are too embarrassed to even discuss it with their doctor. all this week on breakfast we have a special series called "wake up to the menopause", and to kick things off, naga, carol, sally and me got together

to share our experiences. well, have you been to any other doctor about this? did you consult yourgp? doctor about this? did you consult your gp? yes, i did, he was very, very embarrassed and said, at this e, very embarrassed and said, at this age, it happens to lots of people. there's really very little we can do about it, and he made me feel quite ashamed of having gone to ask for his help. what a brave girl, talking about this at that time. yes. there are things in their late palpitations. i had no idea that was connected to the menopause. and other things, the obvious ones you see like hot flushes and night sweats and mood swings. i didn't realise depression was one as well. i ticked off more than half of those symptoms. how do you know when it starts ? symptoms. how do you know when it starts? well, for me it was obvious, i think, because starts? well, for me it was obvious,

ithink, because my starts? well, for me it was obvious, i think, because my main problem is night sweats, and it is like i have runa night sweats, and it is like i have run a marathon in malaysia in a jungle six times a night. really? mum, patsy‘s got osteoporosis. osteoporosis scares me. this is what happens when you have the menopause. no! darling, no. it can't be. i'm 42.i no! darling, no. it can't be. i'm 42. i think no! darling, no. it can't be. i'm 42. ithink i'm a no! darling, no. it can't be. i'm 42. i think i'm a little bit young to have started it, so yes. what age did you start it? 47, i think. i thought it would be 55. not what i signed up for. i wish i had been able to speak to my mum. mums should speak to daughters, sisters should speak to daughters, sisters should speak to daughters, sisters should speak to each other, and i wish i had had that opportunity to ask my mum about it, because she will have gone through it, and i had no clue. i a friend who is going through the menopause, she said one of the

things people don't tell you about is your sexual partnership afterwards, as well, and how difficult that can be because of all the physical side effects, and how awkward it still is, she still feels it is, to kinda broach it with her partner. but that is something else that we should be allowed to speak out about and worry about, and say it isa out about and worry about, and say it is a valid consent. your entire pelvic floor crumbles, and no—one cares, but then you are free. no longer a slave, no longer a machine, with parts. i really hope i have that attitude when i am 58. i want to be fit and healthy and well and happy. i quite like the fact that she says it'sjust a relief. it's just wonderful, and that we are no longer these machines. that's it. we can forget that, we can just be us, whoever we are. on an optimistic note, i whoever we are. on an optimistic note, lam much whoever we are. on an optimistic note, i am much better three years on, and! note, i am much better three years on, and i guess it will hopefully, as she says, just get better and better. and it does end, apparently.

this week, menopause experts from around the world are meeting in berlin where they'll no doubt be discussing some of the questions and difficulties raised in that report. let's speak now to professor lesley regan, who is the president of the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists. good of obstetricians and gynaecologists. morning to yo to good morning to you. good to speak to you. we're really trying to start a conversation here. i came to this and some meetings i did not know. do you think there is a fundamental lack of access to information out there? it remains a really taboo subject of despite the fact that all women go through this phase of life and one of the things we are trying to do now in partnership with the women's health task force that i co—chair with jackie doyle price is to try to make information easily accessible and comprehensive. if you give them information, information is power. sally was talking and

there are about a conversation amongst friends and family but what about education in schools. is that an area where you would like to see expansion? in schools we need to explain exactly what's happening through their reproductive lives and it's important to understand about the onset of periods and contraception and reproduction in pregnancy and also women are now going to go through minimum —— menopause, usually at the age of 51 in this country. one of the things we've heard is notjust information but access to treatment and support from doctors, some saying they have to go through different options, paying privately. what is going on and should there be more availability of treatments of knowledge? every menopausal woman, and asa knowledge? every menopausal woman, and as a gynaecologist, i would like all women to be able to access good, high quality care for the most likely chance of achieving that is if they have good information and they really understand the problem.

0ne they really understand the problem. one of the commitments i made in my last six months, together as jackie doyle price, coach has the force, is to try and make the nhs website the very best place to access good high—quality care. there is masses of information out there, wonderful organisations, doing all sorts of fabulous things but we need to get it all into one place so really comprehensive coverage, easily treatable problem. i asked this question quite ignorantly. in terms of the symptoms, how much of a variation? you talked about the things that affect you. there are lots of different symptoms. some women have mild symptoms, some have medium symptoms, some have very severe symptoms but i don't think they need to have symptoms at all. there are treatments which become available to them. one thing i've discovered this week is that this is also individual and some people

don't suffer at all which is fantastic but it does come down to every single individual is different. is there enough time in a gp appointment to get that information to make sure that treatments are individualised? gps doa treatments are individualised? gps do a wonderfuljob but they are very pushed by masses and masses of different demands which is why i wa nt to different demands which is why i want to get the nhs website to be a really fa ntastic want to get the nhs website to be a really fantastic place for women to go to and for doctors to go to as well in order to access really good quality care and as he pointed out, because the symptoms are so variable and individualised, there will be different solutions for different women. let me read you some of these comments. james says i've worked in a male—dominated engineering environment for 40 years and was embarrassed. thanks jane. i tried hrt but it made me a bit of a monster so i came off it and decided to be open about it. jill says i'm

72 and through the other side. i've noticed i now feel cold. it's a mixed blessing. kate says, i was working in the city as an assistant to ten fund managers and salesmen until the age of 52, it's a very busy place. i was embarrassed, for four years i hardly slept, the hot ashes and mood swings were awful and committing was terrible, especially during the summer. she says women get a raw deal, in the past we've had to suffer in silence and thank goodness things are changing. i escaped the city in london and i live in rural wales. no periods or pmt or hot flushes, there is light at the end of the tunnel, ladies. that is the message that a lot of people give. other people ask, when you know it's over? it's very individual for different women. what i'd like to pick up as dan's point about feeling very isolated in a mail working environment and it's a really important point because women

are 51% of the population, 44% of the workforce and we know that about one in three women over the age of did --50 in one in three women over the age of did ——50 in the workforce is inconvenienced by symptoms they can't talk about because it remains taboo but my experiences when talk to employers about, can you provide cool air conditioning, options for women to go away, and very receptive. i was talking to a group of fund managers, all mail, who said, ididn't of fund managers, all mail, who said, i didn't know about it. i think people will be receptive if we talk about it openly. there are so many different symptoms, lots of different treatments as well. what about from your experience? as we say, there is no—one catchall but there are alternatives, lots of different treatments. what would you say to people to look it? look at exercise, lifestyle changes, think about hormone replacement therapy. it's not the bad thing betrayed for so it's not the bad thing betrayed for

so long. we are realising all these treatments are trying to improve women's longevity and quality of life. it's not aboutjust living longer, it's about living well in my generation of women with a first that has lived longer or will live longer i hope is a postmenopausal woman that i was reproductive and that's a really very important change in society and one that i think we really got to cope with proactively and sensibly and hence that's why i'm absolutely committed to getting all this information out there. you talk about hormone replacement therapy, some people can't take that for medical reasons. it's important to have a conversation not just it's important to have a conversation notjust with your friends but it. exactly, and there are friends but it. exactly, and there a re lots of friends but it. exactly, and there are lots of different alternatives. go and find something else if you can't use something. have a list of information, and you will be much better prepared at finding the right

thing that suits you. thank you so much for coming in. i must confess, when i was told last week we will do an entire week on the menopause, i was thinking, how is it going to work but so many people are getting in contact with questions, things they are worried about, concerns and sharing information. men can also have issues when hormones change. i'm sure they do very well to know all about this. it will make them much, much nicer people. as you said, you are working on that nhs website. thank you very much indeed. it's great to talk to you. very specifically, we are talking about hrt and there were concerns at some time ago so what would you say about hrt and concerns around it? ithink

would you say about hrt and concerns around it? i think it's really sad that so many women are being denied hrt because of two studies that i think misrepresented the medical potential complications, having rea nalysed potential complications, having reanalysed them, potential complications, having rea nalysed them, we potential complications, having reanalysed them, we know that many of those women were in groups that could have benefited. the way the data was analysed was not optimal. many people have missed out. we will be speaking to all sorts of people this week. first up, we visited the horniman museum and gardens in london to hear how it can also have a positive impact. we called the menopause the change and here we are in this butterfly house where butterflies change through their life cycle but we should embrace it. i don't want women to be scared of the menopause. some people associate it with ageing and think it's a sign of old age but it's really not. it's going to be the most amazing time for many women. one of the best things about the menopause

is no more periods! symptoms, some of them was horrendous. i've come through the other end and now i'm enjoying life just like any other women, young, middle—aged, old. it needs no longer to be a taboo subject. in many cultures, people are afraid of losing their husbands, their identity, themselves. this isjust part of nature and part of our body transforming and changing. even though i'm still going up and down, the days when i havejust this just confidence of power, i feel strong and away i never did before. ijust feel invincible some days. i am embracing my mature years. all those years, you've been

governed by your menstrual cycle and it's gone, it's brilliant. it's new beginning. it's a new horizon. that confidence is great, i love it. but i do understand going through the menopause can be difficult but i think it's time to start looking after yourself, embrace your lifestyle, reduce your anxiety and hopefully it won't be such a bad experience. wake up to the menopause! so many of you are getting involved. the hashtag is #bbcmenopause. we will read out more of your tweets and concerns later. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. a new report's criticised screening services for cervical cancer in the capital, revealing many women are missing out. the public accounts committee analysed data from across england and wales. here in london, it found none of the clinical commissioning groups

met their screening targets last year, partly blaming failing it systems. london, i think, has got the lowest in terms of screening coverage, that's a real concern. i think in some places in certain age groups, it's less than half are going. out of 270 ecgs across england, only one actually reached their targets. london, none were hit whatsoever. so it's about local authorities looking at their communities. they hold a whole host of data about their communities, and actually looking at how they can use their data to understand why people aren't going, how they can improve access and improve coverage. the outgoing head of the national audit office has warned it would be difficult to cancel the hs2 high speed rail project now because of the costs involved. the controversial line is designed to cut journey times between london and birmingham, manchester and leeds, costing £56 billion. sir amyas morse says the country would have to be in a lot of economic trouble to pull the plug on the project.

now when it comes to thrill seeking — age really is no barrier for one woman from fulham. mobile macathney is 93 years young, a former wren during the war, and now a frequent flyer and horse rider. she says her secret is always trying new and exciting things. well, i sat on a donkey when i was three. that's 90 years ago. never say no, you'd be surprised. all sorts of wonderful things come out of it. it really is great fun. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there are severe delays on the district line and the hammersmith & city line this morning. 0n the roads — this is how the a13 looks, usual delays coming in to town at dagenham. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's quite a chilly start out there this morning, temperature down in low single figures celsius but it's dry and it's sunny.

plenty of sunshine today. in fact, there's very little cloud around. a gentle breeze which will make it a little bit cooler out towards the essex coast as it's an easterly but elsewhere, the temperature rising steadily, much more settled weather this week, we're looking at a maximum today of around 17 celsius. now, overnight tonight, lovely evening with some late evening sunshine before it sets and then a clear night. there mayjust be a little bit of mistiness by dawn tomorrow morning but largely a bright start. temperatures again potentially out in the suburbs, quite low, around 3 or 4 celsius. central london, though, around 7. so as we head through tomorrow, tuesday is very similar, plenty of sunshine. it's dry and temperatures just that little bit higher. 17 or 18 celsius, similar conditions for wednesday but then through thursday, it starts to change slightly, more cloud and temperatures a touch cooler. there's more from us in around half an hour — you can check out our website for more. now it's back to dan and louise.

bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. here is a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: the prime minister is promising to end what she calls a postcode lottery of support for those escaping domestic abuse. councils in england are being told they need to give more protection to thousands of women and men seeking refuge from abusive relationships. charities say the moves are positive, but want to know how much money will be provided. local authorities have been obviously squeezed over the years, and have been looking for cuts, easy cuts to make. and unfortunately, refuges have been one of the main casualties of that. so the real beauty of this, of putting a legal duty on local authorities to provide refuge spaces, means that they're going to have to do that.

brexit talks between labour and the conservatives will resume this afternoon. but the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, is warning that almost two thirds of labour mps would reject an agreement that didn't include another referendum. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake has more on this from westminster this morning. good morning to you, jonathan. this is making the front pages of many of the papers this morning. what is happening? well, if you imagine these brexit talks has a long, tedious car journey where these brexit talks has a long, tedious carjourney where no—one can decide where they are heading or how to get there, it is almost as if keir starmer has reached overfrom the passenger seat, grabbed the wheel and lurched the car in the direction he wants to go. he says no deal can be agreed unless a public vote is attached to it. 150 labour mps may not vote for a deal unless that was included. he has also said that, in the coming days, if there is in progress, then labour may be

willing to walk away. he is not the only member of labour's team and others, not least the leader, jeremy corbyn, are less enthusiastic about the idea of a public vote. so this intervention from keir starmer, as important as it is, may not have put the brakes on these talks entirely, the brakes on these talks entirely, the government sounding more optimistic, saying if they were going nowhere they wouldn't put as much time and effort into the process. perhaps that is ahead of european elections where the tories desperately need to show they have a workable plan to deliver brexit. but the will resume later on today and we will have to see whether they end up we will have to see whether they end up reaching the destination or burnt out on the side of the road and abandoned. very much enjoying the car analogy. a lorry driver using his mobile phone to make a card payment behind the wheel was just one of thousands of dangerous drivers caught by police in england last year. highways officers have been using unmarked hgvs to film drivers breaking the law.

they say it is to help improve safety on our motorways and a roads. prosecutors in sweden will announce this morning whether they will reopen their investigation into a rape allegation against the wikileaks founder, julian assange. the inquiry was dropped two years ago because mr assange, who denies the allegation, had taken refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london. after being arrested and removed from the building last month, he was jailed for 50 weeks for breaching his bail conditions. killing eve cleaned up at last night's television baftas, with the bbc series picking up three awards. the thriller won best actress, best supporting actress and best drama series, while another bbc series, bodyguard, won the award for must—see moment. itv picked up awards for i'm a celebrity...get me out of here and britain's got talent. the writer of killing eve, phoebe waller—bridge, explained why the programme's success means so much to her. you work so hard and you really

believe in something, and even from those very early days, when sallyjust sent it to me, and sent it to me, and sent it to me, and she's writing other things, it was like, please, please do it. and i think when you come from something that starts so small, and it's just all of your instincts, and to have got to a place where people love it, and you make a biggerfamily from it and you make friendships from it, it's just a glorious, glorious moment to celebrate together. do you know when it will be on bbc 0ne? do you know when it will be on bbc one? i have seen a tiny little trailer. keeps saying soon, next couple of weeks, they keep saying. coming up on the programme, carol will have the weather. yesterday there was a chance of either team winning, so holly was on standby to go to either place, and

she is there at anfield. you are in the dressing room, good morning to you. i don't think! the dressing room, good morning to you. i don't think i would be allowed in here with a red coat this morning, and i can tell you one thing, there have definitely been some celebrations here last night, from the state of the place outside. we have snuck into the dressing room, i have made myself at home. vincent kompa ny will room, i have made myself at home. vincent kompany will not be turning up vincent kompany will not be turning up anytime soon, at least i hope not. you might recognise some other names around here as well, but celebrations went on until the small hours of the morning, and rightly so, a second year in a row for manchester city, winning the premier league title, something which hasn't been achieved in ten years, when manchester united did that in 2009. it was a victory over brighton and the south coast, their 14th win in a row, to ensure they beat their legal rivals, liverpool, by row, to ensure they beat their legal rivals, liverpool, ijust row, to ensure they beat their legal rivals, liverpool, byjust one point, the tightest title race in history. in the end, well, it was a

sprint finish, as adam reports. still premier league champions — manchester city. after all the drama, all the excitement, manchester city have done it again. we will remember this season forever. to come this far and to win this premier league was a fantastic achievement. we are so happy. now it's time to celebrate. but before the celebrations, before the adulation, for manchester city, there wasjust tension. even the very best get nervous sometimes. this was manager pep guardiola an hour before kickoff, alone with his thoughts. that lone thought ofjust one thing. victory would see his side win another premier league title, which was all in city's hands. but, at anfield, liverpool were waiting for any slipup. when they took the lead against wolves, the impossible seemed a little less so, that news filtering through to those on the south coast, moments before the unthinkable.

brighton have the lead! it's all going wrong for manchester city. but, even after football's most extraordinary week, this was one twist too many. within seconds, manchester city were level, and before the break, things had turned around completely, aymeric laporte changing the blue mood in brighton. city back in control. a moment of brilliance from riyad mahrez, and the nerves were finally starting to lift. ilkay gundogan's freekick kickstarting the celebrations for real. the party in brighton matched by the wild celebrations back home in manchester. i was born on maine road, i've been a city fan all my life, and it's just outstanding. i'm just proud. we have struggled in europe. but now we've got back—to—back, we've proved we're one of the greatest teams the premier league has ever seen. emotion too in liverpool. disappointment, of course,

but also great pride in a side that has come so close. very disappointing, but i mean, we played our part today. we won the game, that's all we could do. but city have done better than us. to push through after the season we had last year has been a tremendous effort, brilliant season. but the last words came from city, and they were words everyone knew. # you're my wonderwall... a dressing room celebratory singalong led by noel gallagher himself — manchester city, champions again. so once again extending that weight for a premier league trophy. away from the title race, tottenham secured a top—four finish. they drew 2—2 with everton in theirfinal match, christian eriksen with tottenham's second, who finish in the top four for a fourth successive season.

tottenham's win also meant their north london rivals arsenal finished fifth. they ended their season with a 3—1win at burnley. pierre—emerick aubameyang scored twice for arsenal, meaning he ends the season as the league's joint top—scorer, with 22 goals, alongside liverpool's sadio mane and mo salah. and manchester united's dreadful end to the season was completed with a 2—0 defeat at home to already—relegated cardiff city. they finish the campaign in sixth place, and 32 points off top. the scottish title was all resolved some time ago, but there was still the small matter of the final old firm game of the season. rangers secured back—to—back home wins over celtic for the first time in seven years. 2—0 the final score, ending champions celtic‘s 12—game unbeaten run. away from football, lewis hamilton is back on top of the standings in formula 0ne's world drivers championship. it is after he won the spanish grand prix for a third year in a row.

mercedes teammate valtteri bottas finished second, with max verstappen third. it is hamilton's third win of the season. pretty grateful for this incredible team, continuing to push the limits, bring some upgrades here, which have really added to the car's performance, and we're creating history, day by day or weekend by weekend, and incredibly proud to be a part of that. warrington wolves will play hull kr in the quarter—finals of rugby league's challenge cup. that is after warrington beat wigan warriors in a really tight match, winning 26—24. st helens are also through after beating huddersfield. swedish golfer marcus kinhult has won his first european tour title. with a four way play—off looming at the british masters, kinhult putted this birdie on the final hole to secure a one—shot win in southport.

there is plenty more still to come. we will be back outside later on with a manchester city legend, as well. more on that later. for manchester city, you have to bear in mind the season isn't quite over yet, they still have the fa cup final, and for liverpool they have totte n ha m to final, and for liverpool they have tottenham to deal with in the champions league final. but the thought from manchester city that they could have more celebrations to come, to get themselves a domestic treble, it is unprecedented. i don't know if the fans have another celebration in them, but i am sure they will manage it. and i love the circular dressing room. when alastair campbell was tony blair's director of communications he was well known for taking no nonsense and being a tough character, but away from the public eye he's experienced crippling bouts of depression for most of his life. in a new bbc two programme, he talks openly about his issues and looks

at whether radical new treatments could make a difference. we'll speak to him in a moment. but first, let's take a look. the most traumatic experience of life —— of my life took me from scotla nd life —— of my life took me from scotland to here in london. i had been promoted to news editor of a national paper and i was on the road with neil kinnock. i had been drinking huge amounts the night before, and i realised my mind was beginning to unravel.” before, and i realised my mind was beginning to unravel. i am really starting to feeljust very, very strange. i can't even describe it. it is like i am not there. my head is all over the place. and i thought, something's going wrong here. alistair campbell joins us now. good morning. isuppose good morning. i suppose the question to ask you, really is how are you

today? fine. because you have a way of measuring it in this documentary. ido, one of measuring it in this documentary. i do, one is a stratospheric lay happy, ten is suicidal. and is it ok to ask you where you are on there today? three, four. you have always been incredibly honest, haven't you, or in recent years, about how depression affects you. and this is an everyday part of your life, isn't it? not every day, because i go through long spells where i am fine, andi through long spells where i am fine, and i have these, there's a couple in the documentary, where i have these quite sudden absolute crashes. and then what the film is about is really exploring ways that i have developed and new ways that i'm the gap to try and help me through when that happens. but no, it's not, most of the time i'm fine, but it's

a lwa ys of the time i'm fine, but it's always there and i'm always conscious that it can come on, and fiona, my partner, will always say what triggered it? and i never know, i always don't. i was going to ask you, because you can't feel it coming... i do feel it coming. but you don't know what exactly caused it. no, i feel it you don't know what exactly caused it. no, ifeel it coming, it is a lwa ys it. no, ifeel it coming, it is always up there, and it comes in and it sort of takes over your body. and you just feel like you are carrying a lead weight the whole time. one of better at is accepting it, and i know longer try and push it away, and then when it comes on i got all kinds of techniques that i used to try and make it last not quite as long. you are not at all alone in this, you've got lots of techniques, as well. and one is a jam jar. do you want to explain? i think we have an illustration of it. look at it, look at it. i never thought that until you said it. look at it. i never thought that untilyou said it. so basically look at it. i never thought that until you said it. so basically the jamjar is at until you said it. so basically the jam jar is at the bottom here, and this is thinking about your life. the bbc breakfast mug, instead. you

have the sediment down there, which is your genes, and then you have your life, and when your life fills up, it can explode in illness. and what she says is you spend all of your time trying to unpick what is in thejamjar, your time trying to unpick what is in the jam jar, when actually we should think about what we —— how do we extend the jam jar. so those lines are me thinking about the things i do. so the first thing is ffm, which is fiona, family and friends —— fff. 0n the dotted line is work, unpaid or work paid. i a bit of a workaholic but i am also a campaigner, sleep, diet, exercise, burnley football club, don't laugh, music, bagpipes in particular, creativity, curiosity, and right at the top is david, my psychiatrist, and then medication. so what is interesting about that is that if you had said to me the day before, is your day you had said to me the day before, is yourday 0k?

you had said to me the day before, is your day 0k? —— how do you stay 0k, is your day 0k? —— how do you stay ok, i is your day 0k? —— how do you stay 0k, iwould is your day 0k? —— how do you stay ok, i would say medication and a psychiatrist when i am not very well. and when i start to feel something coming on, i started to think about the jam jar, as crazy as it is. that is your mechanism of dealing with it. and what is really funny about the whole film, we travel around the world talking to all these experts, and in the end, i have to say, the best bit of the whole film is the jam jar, which i film on my iphone at 3am in the morning. mental health awareness week. duke of cambridge, gareth southgate, danny rose and peter crouch all talking quite openly about inks they have struggled with all mental health or mental fitness. do you think we are better now and it's easy to have a conversation about these sorts of things about people assuming that it's a weakness? we are better and there is no doubt with the rules coming out

on some of the big sports stars, it's interesting. in the green room now, i bumped into seven of your menopausal ladies. it was so interesting. i was thinking, if that was seven interesting. i was thinking, if that was seven blokes to come in to talk about depression, it would be all... and they were just laughing and having a crack and what have you and i still think with men, there is a sort of, this is kind of the last thing in the world people want to talk about. what i do say is i've never regretted being open, it's one of the best things i've done for me, never mind for other people as well. we are trying to discuss the benefits, the positive sides of menopause. all these things have an impact on people around you. we've got a clip of the programme. there is no logic to depression. having a

co mforta ble is no logic to depression. having a comfortable family and life is never stop mine. is it hard for your family? ican stop mine. is it hard for your family? i can be difficult to live with, i accept that but i can be very good to live with someone don't think you can just divorce them like that in the way you are trying to do. i'm a theoretical feminist. that in the way you are trying to do. i'm a theoreticalfeminist. i'm not patriarchal. that goes in the waste. 0k. not patriarchal. that goes in the waste. ok. his depression has a profound impact on the people around him. it controls my emotions as well. it's all sorts of things the family around you including worrying, stressful, all the rest of it. i think one of the reasons you make films like this is that it's kind of always like acknowledging and recognising the role it's played. i know looking back there have been times when i've been absolutely horrible to live with.

she is talk for about lying on the sofa but then if you phone up and say look, can we do this, and i can get up for five minutes to have a phone call and i crush back again. they're still there having to with this other person. i think it is ha rd this other person. i think it is hard forfamilies. this other person. i think it is hard for families. the this other person. i think it is hard forfamilies. the reason this other person. i think it is hard for families. the reason why fiona is in it, my daughter grace is in it because fiona and i did film for the william and harry charity together and most of the reaction was from people who live with the depressive from what fiona was saying, that it was about me. the focus is on the person who is ill. when you talk to tony blair for example, that you are struggling with depression. what were his words? he said, i'm not all that if

you're not honoured. which i imagine would be quite a positive statement. have you had somebody on that line of workers reacted the other way? we can't talk to him about this or that? i've never had it that's because i've been so open. i do know lots of other people who have an eye know lots of people including people who work in the health service, and nurseries, who says she is terrified of telling her boss that she might be bipolar because she is just adamant that will be used against her in future recruitment. are you nervous about telling tony blair? he sort of knows anyway. i'm actually very proud of having come to a break down and having this with me. stephen fry, who i saw recently interviewed, if you press that button, it will get rid of your bipolar disorder and he said he's not sure. it becomes part of you. i

feel now, the creativity. i think my energy and creativity comes from the depressions. particularly when i'm coming out of them. i don't see it all is what worries me. when it's bad, it's horrible. as the worst thing in the world when it's bad. it's just part of who i am now. thing in the world when it's bad. it'sjust part of who i am now. it is mental health awareness week. i'm not sure what week. the documentaries next week. there is a whole series on the bbc. keir starmer talking about a second referendum being part of any deal. you make your views pretty clear. where do you stand, if there was a vote, and there is an upcoming vote, how would you vote? i'm not a labour supporter and still a labour member but lots of people who are as passionately against brexit as i am.

they think they should be another referendum. we're all thinking about very carefully because certainly what keir starmer said today, that is where the body of opinion in the labour party is. if i'm confident thatis labour party is. if i'm confident that is the position of the labour party, i'll be able to vote labour but i do know lots of people at the including labour party members who are looking to the greens and the lib dems. the tragedy is, our candidates, the labour candidates are terrific. the message that's come out i think is fed writing two horses does not work. if the intervention hadn't come from so keir starmer, you wouldn't have supported it? just understand the region that nigel farage is doing as well as years, you got the two main the tories and labour, it's like the campaign is not happening. you have

to campaign. i would like to see them out there and understand, when you've got 6 million people signing petitions, and a million people going on the march, there are millions and millions of people out there who want another say and are adamant nigel farage does not represent modern britain and that is the argument. and there are those who would be saying, we've had our say. alistair campbell, good to speak to you. tuesday 21st of may nine p.m. ‘alastair campbell: depression and me' is on bbc two on tuesday 21st may at 9pm. and details of organisations offering information and support with mental health are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded information on 08000 564 756. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it could be a glorious day. it is already for some of us. on this beautiful blue sky in county durham, the scene across many parts of the

uk. as we go through this week, it will remain dry with sunny spells. warm day on day until we had friday and the weekend. also worth mentioning pollen levels in england and wales. exception to the dry weather is across the far north of scotla nd weather is across the far north of scotland but that rain will quite clear away. courtesy of this warm front. i pressure in charge of our weather. the air moving around in a clockwise direction is will be cooler. more of a southerly component to the wind. a lot of sunshine, a bit of cloud developing. at times, the sunshine may well be hazy. you can see across scotland, hardly a cloud in sight. we could hit 20 or 21. western parts of northern ireland could hit 20 today and as we move across england and wales, it's dry, breezy around the coastline of east anglia and also

breezy across the english channel including the channel islands so as a result, you get exposed to that easterly breeze, it will feel cooler for you but move inland, we could hit 20 or 21 is our top temperatures. as we head on through the evening, a lot of blue sky to enjoy and as we head through the night, we will see a bit of missed forming but it's going to be chilly forming but it's going to be chilly for some, particularly central southern england, into east anglia in the south—east we could see a touch of frost. these are the temperatures at six o'clock if you are heading out early tomorrow morning. after that chilly start, a lot of dry weather once again, a lot of sunshine, anywhere across parts of sunshine, anywhere across parts of scotland, northern ireland, a bit warmer today coming inland. looking at highs of 20, 23 degrees. particularly in the south—east. it will feel that it cooler. for

wednesday, a nippy start once again. a lot of dry weather around. you can see where we have that easterly breeze. that will peg the temperatures back a little bit. the southern temperatures will never be as high as the northern temperatures. we are expecting in some parts of scott and, 23, 24, possibly even 25 degrees. see you in about 15 minutes. the oranges on the way. on the map. the orange? what orange? time to get the news, travel, and weather wherever you are. headlines at eight o'clock. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. a new report's criticised screening services for cervical cancer in the capital, revealing many women are missing out. the public accounts committee analysed data from across england and wales. here in london, it found none of the clinical commissioning groups

met their screening targets last year, partly blaming failing it systems. london, i think, has got the lowest in terms of screening coverage, that's a real concern. i think in some places in certain age groups, it's less than half are going. out of 270 ecgs across england, only one actually reached their targets. london, none were hit whatsoever. so it's about local authorities looking at their communities. they hold a whole host of data about their communities, and actually looking at how they can use their data to understand why people aren't going, how they can improve access and improve coverage. the outgoing head of the national audit office has warned it would be difficult to cancel the hs2 high speed rail project now because of the costs involved. the controversial line is designed to cut journey times between london and birmingham, manchester and leeds, costing £56 billion. sir armyas morse says the country would have to be in a lot of economic trouble to pull the plug on the project. now, when it comes to thrillseeking, age really is no barrier

for one woman from fulham. mollie macathney is 93 years young — a former wren during the war — and now a frequent flyer and horse rider. she says her secret is always trying new and exciting things. well, i sat on a donkey when i was three. that's 90 years ago. never say no, you'd be surprised. all sorts of wonderful things come out of it. it really is great fun. let's take a look at the travel situation now. lots of problems on the tube — sever delays on the bakerloo line between queens park and elephant and castle. 0n the circle line anticlockwise. and also severe delays on the district line and the hammersmith & city line. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's quite a chilly start out there this morning, temperature down in low single figures celsius but it's dry and it's sunny. plenty of sunshine today. in fact, there's very little cloud around. a gentle breeze which will make it a little bit cooler out

towards the essex coast as it's an easterly but elsewhere, the temperature rising steadily, much more settled weather this week, we're looking at a maximum today of around 17 celsius. now, overnight tonight, lovely evening with some late evening sunshine before it sets and then a clear night. there mayjust be a little bit of mistiness by dawn tomorrow morning but largely a bright start. temperatures again potentially out in the suburbs, quite low, around 3 or 4 celsius. central london, though, around 7. through tomorrow, tuesday is very similar, plenty of sunshine. dry and temperatures just that little bit higher. 17 or 18, similar conditions for wednesday but then through thursday, it starts to change slightly, more cloud and temperatures a touch cooler. more from us in around half an hour. you can check out our website for more at the usual address.

bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: a promise to end the postcode lottery for survivors of domestic abuse, with more funding for secure housing. it was a night of celebration for manchester city as they retain their premier league title byjust one point. jazz, celebrations into the small hours as manchester city celebrated their second title win in a row in one of the tightest races in history, more reaction from the etihad ina history, more reaction from the etihad in a few minutes. it might be priceless for the fans, but how much difference does success make to the finances of football clubs and the wider economy? i'll be finding out. # here come the girls... half the population will go through it,

everyone is affected by it — today we begin a week of taboo—busting conversations on the menopause. and killing eve slays its rivals at the baftas as it wins three awards, including best actress and best drama series. i would love to dedicate this award to my na na i would love to dedicate this award to my nana nana frances, who passed away the first week of filming, she was the life and soul of everything, she would say to me, you get it off me, you know! a chilly started the but for many it will be dry and sunny when we lose the rain, and thatis sunny when we lose the rain, and that is the forecast through the week, dry, settled, sunny, getting warmer. it's monday the 13th may, our top story: the prime minister is promising to end what she calls a "postcode lottery" of support

for those escaping domestic abuse. local authorities in england will be legally obliged to provide secure homes for survivors and their children. leigh milner reports. for victims of domestic abuse, having a safe place to stay can be life—saving. that's why, for the first time ever, councils in england will be legally required to provide secure accommodation for survivors of domestic abuse and their children. local authorities have been obviously squeezed over the years and have been looking for cuts, easy cuts to make. and, unfortunately, refugees have been one of the main casualties of that. so the real beauty of this, of putting a legal duty on local authorities to provide refuge spaces, means they are going to have to do that. it is not yet clear how much that will cost. in november, ministers awarded £22 million to buy more than 2000 beds for refuges and other safe accommodation, as well as access to education and employment.

today's consultation comes just months after a new draft of the domestic abuse bill was published early this year. it said domestic abuse victims will no longer face cross—examination by their abusers in family courts. controlling and manipulative nonphysical abuse will be included in the government's definition of domestic abuse. and there will be specialist support for black, asian and minority ethnic, lgbt, and gypsy, roma and traveller survivors. charities and local councils say it is a positive step and they want to know how much money will be provided in the face of cuts to authority budgets. a consultation on the proposals will last 12 weeks. leigh milner, bbc news. brexit talks between labour and the conservatives will resume this afternoon, but the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, is warning that almost two thirds of labour mps

would reject an agreement that didn't include another referendum. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake has more on this from westminster this morning. sir keir starmer is causing a stir this morning in some ways. it is, a spanner this morning in some ways. it is, a spanner in the works for these brexit talks potentially, because although officially labour have been keeping the option of a further referendum, another public vote on the table, and as part of these discussions, they haven't quite set it in these terms, and keir starmer making no bones about it in that interview, saying that if there was no public vote attached to any deal done with the government, it would be very hard for labour to support it, because, in his view, up to 150 labour mps would not support any deal unless that was part of it. now, he is one, albeit very important, member of the labour negotiating team, but others on his side, not least to lead a jeremy

corbyn, are less enthusiastic about the idea of a public vote, so it is not clear whether this is the official negotiating position or posturing from the shadow brexit secretary. very hard to see the government signing up to or agreeing to the idea of another public vote, that would probably be one red line too many for the prime minister, and the conservatives, the government is in these talks are going well, detailed and constructive, and if they weren't going anywhere, they wouldn't be putting as much time and effort into them as they are, not least because the tories desperately need to show they have a plan before the european elections later this month. a lorry driver using his mobile phone to make a card payment behind the wheel was just one of thousands of dangerous drivers caught by police in england last year. highways officers have been using unmarked hgvs to film drivers breaking the law. they say it's to help improve safety on our motorways and a—roads. after the race for this year's premier league title went down to the wire, it was manchester city that claimed their second successive title.

they won the last 14 games of the season to do it. but liverpool ran them so close, finishing one point behind with a record tally for a runner up. fans of both sides gave us their reactions. i was born on maine road, i have been a city fan all my life, i am so proud. bittersweet, gutted, the boys done us so proud. you havejust proud. bittersweet, gutted, the boys done us so proud. you have just got to enjoy it while it is there. the lads have given it their all, tried everything, so what can't you not to be proud of? we can't really move forward now, can we? fingers crossed forward now, can we? fingers crossed for next year. absolutely brilliant, the best ever, that was. after all the best ever, that was. after all the years of being a city fan, since 1972, this was better than ever. we feel amazing, it has been a

brilliant day, thank you so much, come on a city! and the celebrations continued into the night. the thing is, both of them could finish with yet more trophies, fa cup potentially for manchester city, and liverpool have got the champions league final. killing eve cleaned up at last night's television baftas, with the bbc series picking up three awards. the thriller won best actress, best supporting actress and best drama series, while another bbc series, bodyguard, won the award for must see moment. itv picked up awards for i'm a celebrity get me out of here and britain's got talent. the writer of killing eve, phoebe waller—bridge, explained why the programme's success means so much to her. you work so hard, and you really believe in something, and even from those very early days, when sallyjust sent it to me, and sent it to me, and sent it to me, and she's writing other things, it was like, please, please do it.

and i think when you come from something that starts so small, and it's just all of your instincts, and to have got to a place where people love it, and you make a biggerfamily from it and you make friendships from it, it'sjust a glorious, glorious moment to celebrate together. many congratulations to all of them. it is nine minutes past eight. in 1991, an iraq boy left seriously injured in a napalm attack on his home thought the rest of his family was dead. but a message he received nearly 30 years later changed all that. amar karneem was adopted by a british mp and made a new life here in the uk. we'll speak to amar in a moment, but first the bbc‘sjon kay has been following his incredible story. he was the little boy who lost everything in a napalm attack. that day, i physically got scarred, i lost my family, it changed my entire life. and for 30 years, amar has believed he is an orphan. there is nothing more important than feeling you belong to someone and loved by someone.

but could everything he knows be about to change? the british politician emma nicholson found amar close to death in a refugee camp in 1991. archive: with brutal oppression, saddam ordered his forces to crush the uprising... she was told all his relatives had been killed when the iraqi dictator bombed his own people in basra. doctors advised her to take him to london, where he underwent 27 major operations. moving to devon with the mp who'd rescued him. and that's where we found him three decades on, settled but still haunted by the loss of his birth family. but could it be that, in the confusion of war, a terrible mistake was made? a year ago, he received this extraordinary message —

a video clip of a woman in iraq interrupting a tv broadcast appealing for her lost son. someone watching wondered if it could be the same little boy who was taken to the uk all those years ago, so he tracked down amar on social media. i'd like to think it's true, yeah. i don't want to put my hopes up and then...be disappointed, really. after months of research, we tracked down the woman in the video to this house in the city of karbala. amar asked us to investigate her story. the woman called zahra emerged with what she said was her most treasured possession. amar. but could it be the same amar? it really is an incredible story, i am delighted to say that amar is in the studio, alongsidejon, who has been following this story. amar, i

know we will see the full story in panorama, but that moment, that information which has changed everything for you, tell us about what it was like when you thought about the possibility that your family were alive. it has been quite an incredible journey, the family were alive. it has been quite an incrediblejourney, the last couple of months. it was hard to believe, first of all, you know, i thought it was some kind of scam or something like that. yeah, it has been really difficult, but also i was excited, you know, i never thought i wanted to go back, there was no reason for me to go back, because i thought i had nothing left, but it has been an incredible journey. jon, you have been alongside amar on this journey, tell us alongside amar on this journey, tell us how this came about, i remember very clearly, amar, when you came to the uk, this was a new story that so many of us will remember, and someone many of us will remember, and someone told you that they might have information? it was our

cameraman, andy, who was in exeter a year ago this week, i think, wasn't it? he was waiting to do an interview about the local elections, and a friend of amar's saw a bbc cameraman, went overto and a friend of amar's saw a bbc cameraman, went over to him and said, rememberthat cameraman, went over to him and said, remember that for you came overin said, remember that for you came over in the 905? something amazing has happened, he has had these messages, you should get in touch and find out if this is true. andy took the details, we went and met amar, and here we are, it has taken a year, to get the dna test done, to find the lady, then to take amar back, it has been quite an extraordinary privilege to follow you through that unexpected journey. but i mean, there have been hoaxed as before, when there were a little boy, people had come forward. yeah, i think they had, and it has been... a couple of years ago, it was quite dangerous to go back, and i didn't have no chance to go and look for them, any of my family, but, you know, this first step, going with

jon and our producer, the first time was very hard difficult, but i am sure it will be easier next time i ta ke sure it will be easier next time i take another visit. jon, you talked about the importance of the dna test, i know that was crucial, when you consider those hoaxes, so let's look at the film, the moment when you find out the results of the test. she is your biological mother. really happy about this. you have got a really happy about this. you have gota mum. really happy about this. you have got a mum. i have got a mum, yes. i will celebrate tonight, having a few drinks! it is the first time we have seen drinks! it is the first time we have seen him smile. 0h, such an extraordinary story. and also, i suppose, in some ways, was it quite a shock, after all these years,

thinking you had lost yourfamily? it was, yeah, to be honest, and it will take time to rebuild my relationship with my family, you know, there is distance, but like i said, iam know, there is distance, but like i said, i am due to go in september, hopefully, i have got a charity after my name, i am going to see what kind of work they do, talk to the orphans, give a speech may be too less fortunate children than me, so too less fortunate children than me, so it has been incredible.” too less fortunate children than me, so it has been incredible. i love this picture, look at your mum, the pride on herface this picture, look at your mum, the pride on her face as well. yeah, it was... i can't imagine what she felt, it is hard to imagine, you know, after 30 years. the photograph she was holding, the only photograph she was holding, the only photograph she had before the bomb attack, she kept it with every day, thinking one day i will him again. she never gave up day i will him again. she never gave up hope, and when she saw a report in the street, a breakfast television reporter from in the street, a breakfast television reporterfrom iraqi television, she went up to him, held

up television, she went up to him, held up the picture and said, he is out there somewhere, that is how they would started. line—out did she know that she had been...? she would started. line—out did she know that she had been. . . ? she discovered in the last few years that he had come to the uk and been treated, but she didn't really understand why, she didn't really understand why, she didn't really understand why, she didn't understand that people thought his family were dead, she didn't understand the background to it. but she told us, you will see tonight in panorama, she just felt he was out there somewhere, and you kind of thought, a little bit, that may be out there somewhere was somebody. every day it was playing on my mind, i couldn't really rest, every day just wondering, on my mind, i couldn't really rest, every dayjust wondering, you know, sort of if i am ever going to find my mother, some relatives, which i did, it is a relief, yeah. a lovely story. what have your family back he had made of all of this? they are quite supportive, you know, emma nicholson is willing to take me back, to see my family, see the work the charity

does, give support to the orphans, the children. it has been an incredible last few weeks and months, but i have had great support from jon, the producer. it was very difficult for me to take that first step to go in, because i wasn't planning to go back, i never thought i would, but they gave me reason to on tight, go back, rebuild my relationship with the family. get some tissues in tonight, louise, i can tell you! it is wonderful to see you both, thank you, amar, jon, the full stories on panorama tonight at 8:30pm on bbc one. incredible story, yeah. let's find out what is happening with the weather, carol has it. if you like it sunny and warm, you are infora if you like it sunny and warm, you are in for a treat, if you want rain, you'll have to wait until the end of the week, but this morning some glorious pictures coming in,

this one from suffolk, the blossom reminding me to tell you that across england and wales pollen levels are high. it is turning warmer, the warmest day is likely to be on wednesday, when temperatures in scotla nd wednesday, when temperatures in scotland could hit maybe 24 or 25 degrees. in the south—east of england, lower, because high pressure is dominating our weather, the airaround it pressure is dominating our weather, the air around it moves in a clockwise direction, so in the south—east we are pulling in an easterly wind, the same to the english channel, whereas we continue up english channel, whereas we continue up towards the west with more of a southerly component, hence the milder conditions. a chilly start first in, a lot of sunshine around, fair weather clouds developing through the day, not much more than that, lengthy sunny spells. across the highlands, in land, we could hit 21 today. western parts of northern ireland due to hit 20 today. for england and wales, roughly up to 19, but don't forget always cooler in

the south—eastern corner, with the onshore wind. top temperatures are up onshore wind. top temperatures are up to 20 or21, as i onshore wind. top temperatures are up to 20 or 21, as i mentioned, but cooler on the coast, notjust today but as we go through the rest of the week. tonight, after early evening sunshine, temperatures falling away, but for most, again, above frost levels. having said that, in sheltered parts of east anglia, central southern england and the south—east, it is not outwith the realms of possibility that you could say early frost. these temperatures are at six o'clock in the morning if you are heading out early on. chilly start tomorrow, but with high pressure in charge, things very settled, a lot of sunshine, still the onshore wind from the north sea, breezy across the english channel, top temperatures tomorrow across scotland, northern ireland and also northern england, again, away from the coast looking at up to 22, possibly 23 degrees. wednesday, though, is the day where we see the temperature peaking, and that is

when we are looking at potentially 24-25 in when we are looking at potentially 24—25 in scotland, a lot of dry weather around, breezy in the south, the easterly taking the edge of the temperatures, more especially in the coast, 18 and 19 in land, but later in the week we will have some rain. a nail—biting last day of the season plus unprecedented success in europe. it's been an amazing year for english football. the full english, as mike bushell was calling it! what does it mean for the finances of the beautiful game? nina's looking into this one for us. good morning. that's right. anyone who's renewing a premier league season ticket, paying for a tv package or saving up to buy a children's kit will tell you there's a lot of cash sloshing about in football. how much does it matter to the economy? even before yesterday's big showdown, we knew that the premier league added almost £8 billion a year to the british economy. and that nailbiting finale will probably give it a bigger boost this year.

there'll also be an injection of cash for the four english clubs taking the final spots in the champions league and europa league finals. liverpool, spurs, arsenal and chelsea will share a £41 million prize pot. but the real money is in the tv rights. let's get more on this with football finance lecturer kieran maguire from the university of liverpool. good morning, 8 billion quid, an inconceivable amount of money, there will be lots of people thinking it is all spent on fast cars and parking tickets, how does it distribute to all of us? welcome football clu bs distribute to all of us? welcome football clubs actually employ distribute to all of us? welcome football clu bs actually em ploy lots of people, liverpool have just expanded their stadium, they have taken on 100 new full—time staff and 250 match day staff, so that is money going into the local economy. also, what we have seen recently is the rise of the football tourist, so

tourism, hospitality, all of these injuries, travel, all boosted significantly as a result of the popularity of the premier league, the world's most successful sporting competition. 3.3 billion to the treasury last year, enough to build three state—of—the—art hospitals. look at this poor fellow, down on the mother after the result, what about the losers? does it matter whether your club wins or loses? they already have the cash. whether your club wins or loses? they already have the cashm doesn't make a significant amount of difference on a match by match basis, liverpool are about to renegotiate their kit deal, and i are going out to tender, and i have been playing amazing football, so they will be able to negotiate up from £40 million to perhaps £80 million a year, and that will be invested in the squad, of course, but it will allow the club to take on more local people in terms of employment, and we have the expansion of stadiums, so there is construction and all of these ancillary industries which benefit

from the fact. 100,000 jobs supported by the lake and its 20 clu bs. supported by the lake and its 20 clubs. the fact that it went down to the wire this year, a vintage season, will that make a difference? yes, it will come from sky and bt‘s point of view, they are crying to grab hold of eyes, and because it is an addictive product, people will give up anything apart from this boards subscription, so from the premier league point of view, an absolutely great finale because it went to the wire, and when they are negotiating with both domestic and overseas broadcasters, it will be successful. it is one of those expenses that people ring fence, isn't it? in the past we have seen clu bs isn't it? in the past we have seen clubs taking advantage of success by nudging prices up, will trickle down to fans? i do not think we will see prices going up, but we have seen a freeze in recent years, so manchester united have put a prices only once in the last ten years,

broadly the same for liverpool and the other clubs, and also in terms of the smaller clubs as well, so because there is so much money coming in from tv, that allows them to keep the prices... they are high, but they are not going to get higher. so good news, prices going down. my top tip for saving money with the kids, even when your child is too big for the kit, make sure you are getting your money's worth out of it! just put it on! so many of you getting in touch about the conversation that we are continuing today about menopause. this is from kim, i started menopause at 43, went into clinical depression, the first doctor said i was too young for the menopause, we know this is not true, i was just about suicidal, a female gp saved my life. great to see the discussion, says sam, working with hot flushes and brainfog says sam, working with hot flushes and brain fog is debilitating. so many of you getting in touch, and

this is an important message from john, is a man, what can we do to support our partners? hopefully we will try to get some answers for these questions. david is saying, this will help me understand my beautiful wife, what she has been going through, so lots of men getting involved as well. we are trying to break down the taboos and have the conversation, jane is doing more of that. you are absolutely right about men getting involved, can ijust say, shout out to hayley on twitter, who has nailed the point of this week in one tweet by saying, when the husband says to you, watch bbc brea kfast husband says to you, watch bbc breakfast this week, it is all about the menopause, no, love, you watch! good one. we will be on the road all week, with the bbc radio for listening booth, recording menopause conversations in here, have a look inside mark is ready with the microphone. and all of these conversations will be handed over to

the british library for posterity, because these are really important conversations to have. come and chat to some of the women over here, some of the hundreds of women we are talking to base a year, this week. ladies, what is the buzz like in the green room this morning? women talking to women about women's stuff, yeah. a minority of people 90, stuff, yeah. a minority of people go, why are you spending so much time talking about this? suck it up, ladies, it is natural. it is affecting 13 million women, we are talking about it because we need to share it and talk. let's have positive stories, good for those who do not feel the need to talk about it but... we need to be generating conversations. absolutely, and over the cause of the week, we are not going to lay people on friday feeling depressed, we are going to give people, you know, the information i need, knowledge is power, isn't it? that is what we are
