over 300 business and supermarkets have signed up, but it's not binding, so will it really make any difference? killing eve slays its rivals at the baftas as it wins three awards, including best actress and best drama series. benedict cumberbatch, britain's got talent and bodyguard were successful too. thank you all so much for this, as you can say, this is unbelievably charismatic and brilliant team, and it wouldn't have happened without surveys single one of them are, i can't speak, it's so unbelievably exciting! hello, welcome to the programme. we're live until 11 this morning. do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about use #victorialive. if you want to take part, include your phone number in your message.

if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. let's catch up with the news with carrie gracie. 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 men and women seeking refuge from abusive relationships. charities say the moves are positive but want to know how much money will be provided. manchester city have claimed their second successive title in a premier league race that went down to the wire. liverpool finished just one point behind the champions — a record tally for a runner—up in the league. the bbc drama killing eve picked up three awards at last night's television baftas. the thriller won best actress forjodie comer, best supporting actress and best drama series. 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, despite ant mcpartlin taking time out from both series last year.

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 on the final deal. 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. the government—appointed food waste champion will today launch an initiative to get the country's food waste halved by 2030. businesses throw away food worth an estimated £5—15 billion is wasted from our homes, costing an average £500 a year. so far, over 300 businesses including tesco, sainsbury‘s, waitrose and nestle have signed up to the non—binding pledge. danny ba ker‘s performed his first live show since a tweet which led to him being sacked

by the bbc. the former 5 live presenter spoke about what he called "the elephant in the room" at the start, describing his post about the duke and duchess of sussex‘s baby as "revolting" and "misjudged". he denied being racist. the show in nottingham ended with a standing ovation. 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. 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. now, that is a new summary, back to joanna on the programme. limit thank you very much, carrie. a safe and secure place to go to is vital if victims of domestic abuse are to escape from their partner. currently, people in england seeking refuge from abusive and violent relationships get varying levels of support depending on where they live. now the government wants to end the postcode lottery and make it a legal duty for local councils to provide them with safe accomodation. theresa may is promising extra money to help councils, and a consultation is being launched to work out how much is needed and where it should go. last april, we dedicated an entire show to talking about domestic abuse, with a particular focus on refuges. victoria spoke to a number of women living in a domestic abuse refuge about their experience — here's a clip from that programme. sew up the stairs, emma, thank you

very much for talking to us and showing us your room. i want to ask you what your image was of a refuge before you came here. to be honest, i was afraid to come to a refuge... afraid? i thought it would be full of druggies, alcoholics, anti—social behaviour, it wasn't an environment i wanted to bring my children too, but i had no choice, so when i spoke to the domestic helpline, they told mei to the domestic helpline, they told me i hada to the domestic helpline, they told me i had a few hours to bring myself and my children here. just a few hours? do you feel safe here?|j and my children here. just a few hours? do you feel safe here? i do, especially with that. of a shared bathroom there. we are nearly in your room. but i was going to say, when i came here, i was quite pleased to say that it was just normal women like me. pleased to say that it was just normalwomen like me. normalwomen. yeah. so this is my room, with my

two children. i have had to put the two children. i have had to put the two beds together so that we can sleep comfortably, we have all our belongings up here, i have been here a year, so belongings up here, i have been here a year, so i have collected a lot of things to take away with me when we get housed. when they first told you it was a bunk bed, what did you think? i cried a lot, iwas it was a bunk bed, what did you think? i cried a lot, i was really upset, because i was coming from a four bedroom house, when i children had their own beds, and to then have two squash into one room, i was really upset, but when i came here, i turned it around to something positive, where i could spend time with my children and rebuild us. because there was quite a long time where i was disconnecting from my children, worrying too much about what i was going through, so we do things together, i have made it as homely as i can. obviously, you have got your own fridge, you have got your own washing area. cutlery and

everything up here. thank you for tidying, but you have said we can look in the wardrobe, is that all right? because effectively, in that wardrobe and on the bunk bed all your worldly possessions. winter clothes, summer clouds, pots and pans, everything in a home is there. as you wait to be housed, you are waiting for your own home. as you wait to be housed, you are waiting for your own homem as you wait to be housed, you are waiting for your own home. it is supposed to be six months, but we have been here a year. with me is lucy hadley, campaigns and public affairs manager at the domestic abuse charity women's aid, and we can also speak to councillor david simmons, deputy chair of the local government association. welcome, both of you. good morning. welcome, both of you. good morning. we saw the vital service that refuges provide for women in need and decades, how patchy is the service on offer? well, currently, the refuge services that women's aid

members provide across england are facing a funding crisis, and we know that 60% of all referrals to refuges in recent years were declined, and around one in ten refuges receives no local authority funding whatsoever, so that is life saving support, so i welcome announcement that the government has made today and should deliver a really important step forward in securing the future of these life—saving services. theresa may has not quite said there is a blank cheque, but at what is needed, effectively, will be provided to — how hardened are you by that, and are you confident a day will end up being the case? by that, and are you confident a day will end up being the case7m by that, and are you confident a day will end up being the case? it is important to say that the funding that underpins these new legal duty will be sufficient and enough to ensure that all women and children escape into a life—saving refuges and get the support they need. we know domestic abuse costs take up £66 billion annually, yet a fraction is spent on these services at the

moment, so it is important that we see the funding to underpin the model and that it is drawn in from all the government departments that benefit from refuge services, whether it is home office, ministry ofjustice, department for health, department for education. david simmonds, there will now be a legal obligation for councils to provide everybody that asks for help in this situation, to david, how do you feel about that? a duty without funding is meaningless, lucy is right in describing that councils across the country provide a patchwork based on local circumstances, and we all recognise that domestic abuse is a curse in our society, one of the major reasons why children go into the care system, it is a big issue for housing services as well, so the crucial thing is making sure that the consultation which will follow the consultation which will follow the announcement results in proper funding so there is a consistency of services available to families and individuals who need them in their local area. do you fear that

councils will not be able to meet this obligation? it is an issue at the moment. councils are keen to do more of this, not least because we see the consequences later on on housing, children's care, trying to pick up the pieces for families where this has happened and it has not been dealt with effectively earlier on. we are going to be pressing very hard, we welcome the duty being announced, but it needs to be fully funded so that people can access support in their local area. lucy, some councils do better than others, why is that? to some prioritise it more? what is going on? there are different levels of need from domestic abuse survivors in different local authorities across the country, but we know that two thirds of women accessing our services escape from outside their local area, so this is a national issue, and we need national oversight of it, and notjust local

provision. you know, particularly bame women would like to access services tailored to their specific needs, so it is important that we see national funding for those services. it is an important issue that we need to ensure there is provision across the country that is consistent and ensures that no survivor and her child will be turned away from life—saving support. it is going to doing the assessment of different levels of needin assessment of different levels of need in different places? you are absolutely right, councils already work together when it comes to supporting people to access housing or children's social care placements in other areas or children's social care placements in otherareas in or children's social care placements in other areas in order to get them away from that has brought them into the system in the first place. but clearly having a consistency across the country would make it much, much easier to plan, especially when victims and survivors are asking, for example, to be placed nearer to family support network saw a different location, so they can get

away from individuals who may be going through the criminaljustice syste m going through the criminaljustice system and other because of the problem in the first place. what happens to all of the people who are referred for a place but are turned away, referred for a place but are turned away, usage? sadly, we know from our research that what often happens is homelessness, temporary accommodation, rough sleeping, sofa surfing, and sadly, even victims returning to the perpetrator because they have nowhere else to go. so it is essential that these services are accessible and that they are resourced to meet the needs of women and children seeking to access them. you said the cost of domestic abuse to the public purse is £66 billion, is there a smarter way to shift where that money is being spent, do you think? absolutely, investing in prevention and in specialist support services that we know victims need, that can ensure that they achieve

criminal justice that can ensure that they achieve criminaljustice outcomes and safety and long—term independence for themselves and their children, that is the smartest way to save money, and if we invested a fraction of that £66 billion in the support services that survivors need, we know that we could end domestic abuse quicker than we are now. how do you feel, david, about that statistic, that 60% of those who go to the local authority seeking help are turned away because they are told there is not the space to help them? sometimes that is the issue, and we need to recognise these are very complex individual situations, so very complex individual situations, so what is going on needs to be considered at a local level. for example, are police involved, housing, what are the wishes of the survivor, do they have children? all these different factors are taken into account by the local authority, but lucy is right that councils have a proven, excellent track record, a way of showing we can turn around a

situation where families are faced with difficult situations, at a fraction of the cost of letting the problem persist and what it cost taxpayers later on. investing through local authorities is the way to fix these, and there are good examples around the country where thatis examples around the country where that is already happening, but the shortage of funding place is huge pressure on most shortage of funding place is huge pressure on most services. shortage of funding place is huge pressure on most services. there is pressure on most services. there is pressure on most services. there is pressure on a lot of council services, obviously, what is your reaction to the prime minister choosing specifically to single out this area and say, put that legal obligation on councils? the government has taken the same approach with homelessness, recognising that local authorities are the ones that have the expertise to turn the situation around. the point we are pressing very hard is that duty, unless it is accompanied by proper resources, becomes meaningless. we will be pressing very ha rd meaningless. we will be pressing very hard in the consultation for the money to follow, and the prime minister has been clear that she sees this as a personal priority, she wants to make sure it is a success, and so she wants to make sure it is a success, and so we she wants to make sure it is a

success, and so we will be wanting to make sure that the money is forthcoming so that the situation that lucy has described and the success that councils have already shown can be brought together with a consistency of national services to help people turn their lives around. thank you both very much. if you have been affected by these issues, there is a range of organisations and websites can offer you advice and websites can offer you advice and support. you can find them on the bbc action line website. breaking news to bring you about julian assange, we are just hearing that the swedish authorities have announced that they will reopen the investigation into a rape allegation against the founder of wikileaks, julian assange. the country's deputy chief prosecutor has said that now he is in british custody, sweden will continue enquiring into the case. we were expecting this statement today. the prosecutors we re statement today. the prosecutors were looking at whether they would reopen the inquiry into the rape

allegation at the request of the alleged victim's lawyer. the alleged victim has said that she does want the case reopened, and sincejulian assange was arrested last month after ecuador withdrew its protection and invited police to arrest him, meaning his asylum in the ecuadorian embassy came to an abrupt end, swedish prosecutors have since been considering their options and under swedish law they have until next year to pursue the case, so we until next year to pursue the case, so we will have to wait and see how this unfolds. let's bring on angus crawford, who has been following this. the swedish authorities have decided they will reopen the investigation, then. they say is a really interesting development, not altogether unsurprising, but it does create something of a dilemma. it now appears that should the swedes continue on this because, they will wish to extradite mr assange, and

that will mean there will be two countries trying to extradite him at the same time, the swedes in terms of this investigation into an allegation of rape and the us authorities who have also charged him in absentia with essentially a charge of hacking into computers. now, the main thing is that nothing is going to happen quickly. mr assange was sentenced to 50 weeks in prison, he is in belmarsh high security prison, and he is likely to serve at least 25 weeks, so a little under six months, and after those six months, he will be eligible for release. it doesn't mean he will be released, but he will be eligible. clearly, he has been a flight risk, he breached his bail conditions in 2012, so there will be an interesting decision which is likely to end up with the home secretary, because he will have to decide which of the two extradition requests may, if there are two, it may take precedence, and that will depend on a variety of things — the severity

of the offence, the time when the alleged offence took place, and whether it is in the public interest to put one ahead of the other. so we find ourselves in a very interesting position, we know thatjulian assange has denied, all along, the allegation of rape, we know that his legal team will fight tooth and nail for him not to be extradited to sweden, because of because they fear a bounce back effect, that he may then be extradited on to the us, and if you remember, back in 2010, when the first allegations were made, mr assange's legal team fought that legal case for going on two years, until 2012, through all of the courts in england, finally getting to the supreme court, which threw out his appeal. it was at that point that he sought asylum within the ecuadorian embassy. so i very interesting moment here which may end up switching somewhat from a purely legal issue to something of a political issue for the home

secretary to decide. thank you very much, angus. an "environmental, economic, and moral scandal". that's how environment secretary michael gove has described the uk's food waste problem. in a bid to do something about it, the government has appointed a food waste champion who will today launch an initiative to get the country's food waste halved by 2030. so far, over 300 businesses, including tesco, sainsbury‘s, waitrose and nestle, have signed up to the non—binding pledge. in a moment we'll talk to environment minister therese coffey, but first michael cowan looks at the scale of the uk's food waste problem. a third of all food made for human consumption is wasted every year, according to the un. americans throw away more food per person than any other country. a staggering 95 kilograms each every year. compare that to rwanda in east africa. rwandans only waste one kilo per person annually. it typifies our overconsumption

in the west. in the uk, we waste about 55 kilos per head, and it's costing the average british family around £700 a year. earlier this year, we set a group of loughborough uni students a set of sustainability challenges. one of those was to try and reduce their food waste. we asked elliot woolley, a food waste expert, to show them how cut back what they throw away. i'm going to put the avoidable food waste this side, and the unavoidable that side, 0k? oh, it's all wet. banana skins. sandwich meat, some ham. 0k, guys, so now we've got two piles, unavoidable waste here, and we can see a much larger pile of avoidable stuff here. in the unavoidable side, we've got lemon skin, egg shells, banana peel, tea bags in there. but on the avoidable side, we've got things like a lettuce, most of a lettuce, sandwich meat, which doesn't look like it's

even tried to be eaten. looking at the amount that could have been eaten, especially seeing how fresh some of it is, it's like a week old also, it is quite surprising. a lot of it is mine, like the ham and the bread, i didn't realise that i was contributing to this much food waste. 0k, guys, so moment of truth, let's go and weigh this and say how much food waste was generated during that week. all right, we go. and 3.5 kilograms. wow, yeah, that's a lot! that the amount of food waste generated by this household in just one week. if we can reduce this by 50%, looking at about 1.7 kilograms, 1.8 kilograms of food waste, next week, then i think we have made some great improvements. in a moment, we'll talk to environment minister therese coffey, but first we're joined by libby peake from the green alliance, which is an environmental think tank. welcome. we wouldn't burn fibres, but we may as well when it is costing £700 a year, and it is not

just because to us as individuals, gave us just because to us as individuals, gave us a just because to us as individuals, gave us a big sense of the bigger scale of this. yeah, so food waste, as the government has identified, immoral, financial and economic scandal. the food that we waste is contributing about a fifth of the carbon emissions, the food that we use, the food system, and so tackling food waste is absolutely vital if we want to meet our climate change targets and to reach now to zero, as the government has promised to do. so today they are asking businesses to sign up to a commitment to halve food waste by 2030 in line with the un sustainable development goals, and it is considerably more ambitious than other voluntary targets that businesses have signed up to already. businesses have had a volu nta ry already. businesses have had a voluntary target since about 2005 to adjust food waste, and i think it is quite telling that one of the things the government is helping to get out of today's initiative is that, by the end of the year, half of the

largest food companies will be reporting on the food that is wasted throughout the supply chain and i food surplus, so that means after almost 15 years, we have still not got reliable information about how much food is being wasted throughout the supply chain. we all want to save the supply chain. we all want to save money, the supply chain. we all want to save money, individuals and businesses alike, why is it difficult? what are the causes of food waste? there is a lot of food waste at the household level, and the information that we have shows that we're wasting about 7 million tonnes at the household level, and one of the problem is, as you saw with the students, is that people don't realise how much food they are wasting, and so one of the things that can really help with that is if eve ryo ne that can really help with that is if everyone has that can really help with that is if eve ryo ne has a ccess that can really help with that is if everyone has access to food waste collection services, which the government has promised to introduce, but we need to see more urgency to do with introducing those... what would that do? food to be redistributed? gabby food waste service would be to collect food,

ideally that is no longer fit for human consumption, but one of the things we know is that people don't know how much food they are wasting, so know how much food they are wasting, so if they are separating it out into a separate service, they will getan into a separate service, they will get an idea of what is going in the west and how much they can do to help prevent it. dug up -- going in the waste. what we are talking about with this target, which companies are signing up to today, it is non—binding — is there another action you would like to see the government taking? dug up the government taking? dug up the government has promised that if this does not deliver her enough results, it will look at mandatory reporting, but after 15 years, nearly 15 years, we can safely say that not enough progress has been made if we want to address the scandal in a sustainable way and as quickly as it needs to be. let's put that to therese coffey, who wasjoining us, thank you very much. what about, hi there,

welcome, what about mandatory reporting now, why not? we have seen a decline in food waste, but it has plateaued recently, and i think ben elliott got involved is our food surplus and ways to champion to try and increase the amount of awareness of this particular issue. i am encouraged by how many people have signed up, and we would further dell would rather take a voluntary approach, because it tends to have a bigger impact. sorry to interrupt, but why does voluntary have more impact? if somebody knows they have got to do it or face punishment, aren't they more likely? dug up the chief executive of tesco is the un secretary—general‘s champion on this. often they are accused of lip service, but this is a genuine pledge they can sign up to, and the

retailers are pledge they can sign up to, and the retailers a re best pledge they can sign up to, and the retailers are best placed to help their customers manage their food better, because 70% of food waste is in the household. so that is where a mixture of education but also direct contact with consumers will really help. so education is the job of businesses, not the government tumour i think they are best connected to consumers. we have tried to do education, but the purchase point, putting your spuds ina cupboard purchase point, putting your spuds in a cupboard instead of the fridge will extend their life. at too. in a cupboard instead of the fridge will extend their life. at toolj keep mine in the freezer! that also works. domestic tips here, but the bigger picture, there are things we

all as individuals do, but what about that point about food waste collection services, why isn't that happening? we have consulted on that, the consultation closes this month, and we intend to make that be the case for every household right across the country so that they will be able to have their food waste collected, and again it is that thing of having a food caddy in your home that may make you think more about how you get rid of that. it is good for economic reasons but also environmental reasons too. good for economic reasons but also environmental reasons toom good for economic reasons but also environmental reasons too. if we are all wasting this amount of money, we just wouldn't do it, but there is a disconnect between thinking about food waste and the actual cost to us as individuals — why do you think it is taking so long to filter through? to be honest, i don't know the reason for that, and that is why involving a wider range of people, particularly this event, will bring further awareness to people of what they can do to keep more money in

their pocket. but we want to keep their pocket. but we want to keep the balance right, this isn't about condemning people, we have a panel of chefs making very tasty food from what people consider to be leftovers, and how we get back into that system of dealing with food. but we also want to put the emphasis on supermarkets that when they have food that is no longer sold, they do their best as quickly as possible to get that food available for redistribution. do you know how much is currently redistributed ? redistribution. do you know how much is currently redistributed? at the moment i think it is about 30,000 tonnes... in percentage terms? i don't know the answer to that, but probably another 150—200,000 tonnes could be redistributed, that is our estimate, and there are a number of different factors, the organisations, some of which we have given money to to rebuild their supply chains, but we will work more with smaller charities, because in

some of the bigger cities it is more straightforward, but in the market towns and even villages it can be challenging to find groups who will help with redistribution. by e-mail, one viewer says i waste 1% at most, even egg shells and vegetable peels go into my compost, disgraceful to see hard up students throwing away healthy pink ham among other things. maria says, the point is not to recycle the food, it is not to buy the food we don't need, we buy too much, we eat too much, we have obesity and diabetes, be more aware of how much we buy and how much we eat. 0n of how much we buy and how much we eat. on that thing of over buying, there is always criticism of supermarkets with their offer on certain things, encouraging us to 0verby. in some supermarkets we are seeing less of that. it is a case of how do

we continue to perhaps get away from the consumer society of something being put in a plastic bag, like a bag of oranges, and you buy what it is you need for the week ahead. the volu nta ry is you need for the week ahead. the voluntary target is to half food waste, at what point did the government think they have to legislate? the big change will come when we add food waste collections to every household which could be a tipping point in consumer behaviour. do you think that will happen? yes. i think it will happen by 2023. there are councils who do it already. it is a comprehensive readjustment of various local government ways they deal with food waste. the sooner the better and the government has committed about paying for that element of food waste to be taken by councils. bringing in new legislation can be

challenging and i am confident we will get there quicker to the 50% reduction the soon of all companies get involved, whether the hospitality sector, as well. thank you for your comments at home. keep them coming in on that and everything else we are talking about. still to come, killing eve came out on top at last night's bafta tv awards, scooping three trophies, and apparentlyjodie comer was still in the bar celebrating with her parents at 4am. we'll discuss it all with tv critic emma bullimore. living in fear after being deported from the uk — we'll be speaking to chevon brown, who was sent back to jamaica, the country he left aged 1a, in february after being convicted of dangerous driving. in the past 1a months, five men were killed injamaica after being deported from the uk. tv stars were out in force last night for the bafta tv awards at london's royal festival hall. jodie comer, killing eve. the big winner was the bbc thriller killing eve,

with three awards including best drama series and best actress forjodie comer. the drama is about an offbeat assassin pursued by an intelligence agent. last night, comer paid tribute to the shows writer tribute to the show‘s writer phoebe waller—bridge. i feel so lucky not only to say that i've worked with you but to call you a friend. you are the most talented person i know. thank you for being such an inspiration. the sky atlantic drama patrick melrose picked up two awards and got benedict cumberbatch his first ever bafta for best actor — he's been nominated eight times before. i couldn't have won it for something i'm more proud of, to be honest, and this is a lot of people's work here, but i cared about this project from the minute i read the book. i put it out there on reddit i wanted to be some part of whatever it might be if it's made and, lo and behold, i was the right guy at the right time and really do breathe rarefied air.

i'm very lucky. i feel gobsmacked by it all but incredibly happy. two shows that ant and dec present won gongs, despite the fact ant did not appear alongside his presenting partner dec for most of last year. dec was joined by holly willoughby to host all of last year's i'm a celebrity. i'd like to say thank you to holly for helping me out last year. you did a fantasticjob. standing in for ant, who has reluctantly come up here tonight. there he is. because he is still part of the team, obviously, so we wanted him up here to celebrate with us, as well. the best tv moment went to bodyguard for a shocking scene involving the shows main characters. the show‘s main characters. and the bafta goes to eastenders. and best soap and continuing drama went to eastenders who beat

rivals coronation street on a night where the bbc won more than half of the evenings awards. let's speak now to tv critic emma bullimore who was at last night's awards ceremony. thank you for getting up and coming in. killing eve was the runaway winner. phoebe waller-bridge, doing the bond script now, she is stratospheric and it was amazing she was there and excited to win an jodie comer emotional to get her first bafta and fiona shaw, fantastic in her role in that programme. it was quite a night for girl power and the best female actress was saved till last, a sign of the times. things are moving on a little. it is not that the men's award is the big award, so that is nice to see. phoebe waller-bridge is 33, quite incredible what she is

doing. so much more to come. she could say killing eve is the biggest show in the world, i will do series two, but she said i will hand that over and work on james two, but she said i will hand that over and work onjames bond. so much to come from her. really exciting. bafta had to tweak the rules to get killing eve nominated. there are special rules about what is classed asa special rules about what is classed as a british or american production and where it has the premiere but it is an intrinsically british production. bafta say it is legitimate. if it had not been there it would have been a travesty. celebration of glorious british talent. benedict cumberbatch. nominated eight times before and only won last night for the first time. it is a kate winslet moment after winning the oscar after so many times of trying. he has done so much but it meant so much to him to wina much but it meant so much to him to win a bafta. we said to him you have done loads, does it matter? he said, are you kidding, this is so

important. he was thrilled. 0ne are you kidding, this is so important. he was thrilled. one of our best actors not to have won bafta and now he can lay to rest. what were the standout moments?m was nice to see louis theroux recognise. and a slightly awkward moment with ant and dec. and big news for eastenders winning the best soap because they have been in the doldrums and i think they are coming up doldrums and i think they are coming up and having a resurgence. is british tv and talentjust going through a golden period? absolutely. a very english scandal, patrick melrose, bodyguard. is so much to

choose from where as in previous yea rs choose from where as in previous years so much to choose from. an amazing time for television. the roles on offer, and for women and content in general, really exciting time. and a word on the host, graham norton. he is brilliant. it is a shame the last couple of years it has clashed with eurovision and he cannot do it and he is comfortable on stage and the jokes and land on the right side of cheekiness and he knows where to push it and when not to. one of the other standout last night was a dress on the cat work. people spend a lot of money and effort on their dresses and... daisy may cooper, who was nominated for the best female comedy performance award for this country, turned up on the red carpet wearing a dress it's insane, it's absolutely insane. i can't believe it. you know, six years ago, me and my brother were cleaning, so to come here to the baftas and not, like i said,

hoover it up, the red carpet after ourselves, it's brilliant. five quid and then a load of rubbish. my mother made this dress with my two friends and it took them three days but the reason i'm wearing this is if i wore a normal dress, that would cost a lot of money, and i thought i'd donate that money to a localfood bank and where bean bags instead. that is fabulous and the egg shells on the bin lid on the top. that must a bit annoying but good for her, that makes a statement. takes mum making address for a special occasion to a new level. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag victoria live. if you're emailing and are happy for us to contact you, and maybe want to take part in the programme — please include your phone number in your message. if you text, you'll be charged at the standard network rate. some of the best stories we have covered on the show have come from you at home. talks between labour and the government are due to resume today in a bid to break

the brexit deadlock. it comes afterformer defence secretary gavin williamson, who was sacked over the huawei leak, said the prime minster was making a "grave mistake" negotiating with labour in talks that were "destined to fail". and in his strongest statement since talks began, the shadow brexit secretary — sir keir starmer — has warned that nearly two thirds of labour mps would reject any agreement that failed to include a confirmatory referendum. so how far can these talks really get, and will either side get close to a vision of brexit they believe is acceptable? let's cross to westminster now where we can get the latest from our political correspondent — chris mason. is it starting to feel like they will run into the ground pretty soon? it does, and it has done for some time, although up until now there has been as is —— a desire to keep the thing going into another week, but is has been going on

weeks. there is a central question at the heart of this which is you have two tribes, political parties whose natural instinct is to fight politically rather than to accommodate one another‘s views, but given the nature of brexit and how divisive it is and their platter of perspectives you get at westminster, evenif perspectives you get at westminster, even if there is agreement between their negotiating teams, both have to ta ke their negotiating teams, both have to take a look over their shoulders to take a look over their shoulders to the party tribes and memberships that assemble behind them to see whether or not the votes would be there to get an arrangement through there to get an arrangement through the house of commons, and notjust that but do so without ripping those parties apart because both parties are obviously concerned about being able to stand up and carry on after any arrangement they were to come to which is why you get a sense, increasingly, the expectation is these talks perhaps will not get anywhere not least because of the increasing noises from the labour side about the desire for another

referendum. something the conservatives are on the whole deeply against. i can play you this from tom watson. articulating the awkwardness within labour around the question of another referendum. i have wanted a deal. i reluctantly came to the view there should be a confirmatory ballot. in all circumstances? because i thought it was the only way to break the impasse. if a deal can be found that inspires enough votes in westminster, fine. but it seemed to me that is difficult. my idea of a confirmatory ballot is not a religious point or point of ideology, it is how do you get an outcome, how do you sort this out? so keir starmer thought between 120 and 150 labour mps would

insist on a confirmatory referendum asa insist on a confirmatory referendum as a condition to signing up to a deal. we did our number crunching and it suggests 107 at the moment have publicly said they would like another referendum. and how many wa nted another referendum. and how many wanted it in the end would depend on what a deal looked light and the particular circumstances in which that moment came about, particularly if it was after the european elections and for instance the brexit party doing well in the opinion polls at the moment producing a result in line with what the polls suggest. yet another week of brexit flocks at westminster. it is possible we are not! million miles forward by the end of it than we are standing here on monday morning and i have said that a few times before, yes. we have all said the same things on this a few times. we will have to keep watching and waiting. in the uk, strict rules prohibit people from being deported to places where their lives may

be in danger. but now there are serious concerns after the guardian newspaper reported that at least five people who have been deported to jamaica have been murdered. some of the men had convictions for violent and drug—related offences. deportation charter flights to the caribbean island had been suspended because of the windrush scandal. the flights resumed in february and, according to lawyers working for some of those deported, there's evidence that their clients are being targeted because it's known they were on those flights. home secretary sajid javid had this to say in parliament at the time. i think the information he referred to if! i think the information he referred to if i understood him correctly is about a charter flight to jamaica of foreign national offenders only, every single one of them convicted ofa every single one of them convicted of a serious crime and, under the 2007 act, which he supported, which requires anyone, does not matter which part of the world they are from, if they are a foreign national offenderfrom

from, if they are a foreign national offender from the from, if they are a foreign national offenderfrom the us, from, if they are a foreign national offender from the us, jamaica, australia or canada, it requires the home secretary to issue a deportation order. it is a legal requirement so if he does not want that to happen he is asking me to break the law and he is also saying if people are convicted of a serious offence as a foreign national offender they should be allowed to stay in this country. welljoining us now is — chevon brown. he was deported to jamaica two months ago for a dangerous driving offence and says he is scared for his safety. chevon's lawyer,jacqueline mckenzie is also here. she fought his deportation. and ellie green — who is from the right leaning think tank, the henryjackson society. tell us why you fear for your safety. hello. i fear tell us why you fear for your safety. hello. ifear for tell us why you fear for your safety. hello. i fear for my safety because there are many reasons but mostly of what you said. how you describe me as a person which was not true. what has happened that

made you fearfor your not true. what has happened that made you fear for your safety? the first day i arrived, the greetings i got from the police was basically threatening me that if i said a word on the bus they would put their foot down my throat. do you mindjust repeating that? i said when i first arrived, i came off the plane and they put me on the bus taking me to where they would process me, the first the police said to us was if we made any noise, loud noise, he would put his foot down our throats. why do you think you would be a target for anybody? because the mp labelled us as a murderer and rapist. murderers and rapists are

here looked at as a target. when you go presumably for a job or anything else, you present yourself as the person that you are and with the offence you were convicted for, which was a dangerous driving offence, and whatever somebody might say about others, why would it affect you directly when you are as i say putting yourself forward in a situation? that is affecting me because no one really wants to employ someone who has been deported. i have gone to interviews where as soon as they hear my accent and see my cv, they thought, yes, i came on the charter flight. i have gone to a workplace and the person looked me up and down. he referenced something about the flight and from

there i just left. something about the flight and from there ijust left. again, we are talking about a danger to life and if that is happening, that is unpleasant and difficult. it is not a threat to your life, it will not stop you trying to make a new life. what is stopping me from making a new life is what they said about me. iam new life is what they said about me. i am basically a target when i go out into the street. even the local police. everywhere i go i have people looking at me. i went to a local area where nobody knew my name. when we arrived there were two gentlemen sat at the back of the shop and when we arrived they went on the phone and we saw nine gentlemen walk in and they were staring at me, sitting around me and the way they were looking at me was not pleasant and i felt uncomfortable. so it is intimidating. but is it really more

than that? i am not saying that is nice, but is it more than that? yes, it is to the point where i see people walking with knives and guns. iam people walking with knives and guns. i am talking about regular civilians i have not introduced too. there are police officers walking with guns and you have 14—year—old kids who walk around with knives and they follow the jamaican tradition to heart, so most of the things, that people mention in public, put my life in danger more than it already is. just trying to pin down this issue when you talk about your life being in danger. the home office says individuals are only returned to their country of origin where the government and courts believe it is safe and the home office works with organisations who provide support on arrival for those returning including general orientation, access to temporary accommodation, travel, vocational training and

signposting services. what you are talking about is feeling intimidated and seeing things you do not like but in terms of being under direct threat, is there clear evidence of that? there is clear evidence. over the past year there has been five deported people being murdered. there is still no justified cause of why they have been killed. there are lots of reports of unknown deaths in jamaica where people do not know why they are. for their families to come forward , they are. for their families to come forward, they do not want that. when you say there is no known reason why the people killed were targeted, they had, as far as i understand it, most of them, a criminal background

and those factors, they are convicted criminals, they have been sent to jamaica and have possibly had situations previously with individuals there. i cannot answer that question because that goes far beyond me, but from my understanding, it is that most people deported when they come back to jamaica, they have it very difficult. for safety and two, they are deported. 0nce difficult. for safety and two, they are deported. once you have been branded as a deportee what the home secretary has said, it has made us more of the target, people who came down on the 6th of february, more of the target than anybody else. so at this current time, since i have been here, i have not really gone out. my anxiety and depression has gone up

more. ifeel a bit more like, anxiety and depression has gone up more. ifeela bit more like, i anxiety and depression has gone up more. ifeel a bit more like, i do not know how to explain but i feel everywhere i go, i am going to be in danger. i am constantly watching my back. it is not a nice feeling. you we re back. it is not a nice feeling. you were convicted of driving at 100 mph. thejudge were convicted of driving at 100 mph. the judge at your trial said were convicted of driving at 100 mph. thejudge at your trial said it was lucky you did not kill someone. yes, i don't want to go too much into my case, but i am not saying what i did was right, i should not have been speeding in the car and i should not have driven away from the police, but taking into consideration i am still a young adult, i got pulled over. ifelt scared, so i drove off and my chase was only four minutes and i did not hurt anybody. saying i could have is not something that happened. i have

seen not something that happened. i have seen other cases where, in the same period of time, where a young man got caught two months before and two weeks later he got caught doing a high—speed chase. weeks later he got caught doing a high-speed chase. i'm sorry, i do not want to cut in but obviously we wa nt to not want to cut in but obviously we want to focus on your situation and we have your lawyer here so i will bring her in. thank you forjoining us. bring her in. thank you forjoining us. jacqueline, the law is clear, if somebody breaks the law and does not have a right to stay in this country, they get deported. can i correct one thing. i was not chevon's lawyer when he was deported andl chevon's lawyer when he was deported and i have just been looked at —— my ca rs and i have just been looked at —— my cars to look at his case. you are correct the law said it is mandatory to deport someone who is sentenced to deport someone who is sentenced to more than 12 months and he was.

there are exceptions from a legal perspective and they are detailed. looking at chevon's case in particular and irrespective of the threat he is under, injamaica, directly to him, is this issue about whether we should be deporting people who have spent most of their lives in the uk. his case is interesting which is why i have asked to look at it. he came to the uk when he was 14. he was in care for most of that time. he entered with indefinite leave to enter so would have been able to naturalise and the state owed him a duty of ca re and the state owed him a duty of care to sort out his immigration status, so he would not have been in this situation. you are fighting his case on that basis, more than the element of danger that he says he faces ? element of danger that he says he faces? i am looking at that because obviously, jamaica has a high per capita rate of murder and i know the british government's view would be it is not their concern, but the

government has taken expert evidence in other cases about whether it is safe to remove people to countries. for time no one was moved to somalia, afghanistan, syria. iwould argue jamaica is a dangerous case with two special initiatives at the moment where there are states of emergency. i know the government in jamaica is trying to do something about it and i know alljamaicans are at risk. do you have sympathy with chevon's case? obviously i have sympathy with this case and all cases where people are deported and subsequently have faced threats, the threat of violence in jamaica, subsequently have faced threats, the threat of violence injamaica, which is something that is difficult and very sad, but we have to remember the priority for the home office is to ensure the british public is kept safe and in order to do that they sometimes have to follow this law, which is to deport foreign nationals back to their country of origin.

which is to deport foreign nationals back to their country of originm sounds like from what you are saying this is a potentially more complicated case because of his childhood. this particular case is very complicated. we just received disclosure about him. he suffered from depression most of his life and we are saying, the home secretary says it is the law, but the only way to revoke a deportation order is to write to the home secretary, so there is some power to do something about this and we need a change in the law. thank you. the home office has told us: "we only return those with no legal right to remain in the uk, training and including foreign national offenders. individuals are only returned to their country of origin when signposting services. the home office and courts deem it is safe to do so. thejeremy kyle show has been taken off air indefintely after a guest who took part in the itv programme died shortly after filming. with me is our reporter charlotte gallagher what the guest appeared on the show and died a week later. itv said they

we re and died a week later. itv said they were shocked and saddened. obviously, their thoughts are with this person's family and friends. they have not said if the guest was a man or man or woman or what they died from, but we have to presume it was not natural causes, given this show has been taken off air under review is being carried out into this episode. also, as you said, broadcasting and filming of the entire series has been suspended, so it raises the question whether there are duty of care issues itv wants to look into. this has been unfolding this morning and the show did not go on air? people saw it on twitter because they turned on expecting to see the show and it was something different and now itv have said this. there have been duty of care question surrounding reality shows in the past. we had two love island co ntesta nts in the past. we had two love island contestants who died recently and

itv said after that councillors would be in touch with love island co ntesta nts would be in touch with love island contestants longer than previously. people who have not watched the jeremy kyle show, they have a lot of councillors and there is a lot of after—care. they say when someone appears on the show they are not just abandoned. a psychotherapist will help them afterwards. thank you. bbc newsroom live is coming up next. thank you for your company today. have a good day. hello, good morning, you may have noticed outside we did not have much cloud. a lot of sunshine across the uk. this is the latest image. we have some cloud across scotland and

northern ireland, making the sunshine hazy, but as we go through the day, there will not be a great deal of change. we will keep the blue skies and temperatures will continue to rise and it will be warmer than yesterday. the highest temperature is likely to be across northern scotland, up to 20. widely, temperatures in the mid to high teens. cooler around the coasts of east anglia and south—east england. this evening and tonight we keep the clear skies. they could be mist and fog patches forming. it will turn colder especially across eastern areas. elsewhere, temperatures staying up to 5—7. this is how it looks tomorrow. more of the same. if anything, the temperature is a degree or so higher. goodbye.
