and coming up on bbc news... england captain eoin morgan is suspended for the next one day international against pakistan, because of a slow over rate during yesterday's six—wicket win in bristol. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. itv has permanently cancelled thejeremy kyle show — after a guest died shortly after filming an episode. the programme was taken off the air on monday after the death of steven dymond. itv‘s chief executive says today's decision has been made because of the ‘gravity of recent events.‘ a review of the episode featuring mr dymond will continue. jon donnison reports.

for more than a decade watching people's lives fall apart on the jeremy kyle show has passed for entertainment. applause it has been popular with around a million viewers for each episode. not any more. in a statement itv‘s chief executive carolyn mccall said given the gravity of recent events, we have decided to end production of thejeremy we have decided to end production of the jeremy kyle we have decided to end production of thejeremy kyle show. she said the programme had a loyal audience and had been made by a dedicated production team for 14 years, but now it was the right time for the show to end. it comes after 63—year—old steve diamond, reportedly triggers own life last week just days after reportedly triggers own life last weekjust days after appearing on the show and failing a lie detector test. itv said that every one of the network's thoughts and sympathies we re network's thoughts and sympathies were with his family and friends. everyone felt a mood change... this

woman was part of the studio audience when the show in question was recorded. it wasjust completely shocking to have a live studio audience watching his life crumble apart. it really wasn't entertainment. i think both me and my friend came away feeling very upset about what we had seen. have you anything to say? jeremy kyle seen here yesterday arriving at his home in windsor has not publicly commented. itv says it will continue to work with him on other projects. again he took a battering in this morning's tabloids, albeit from papers have sometimes fed of the stories originating from his show. the negative publicity may have forced itv‘s hand. the network will be caned this doesn't spread to some of its other big money spinners, where people willingly make a public spectacle of their personal lives.

boy and girl whose first names begin with letter must snog for five seconds... in the past 12 months to of love island's former contestants took their own lives although both cases were two years after appearing on the show. fans of thejeremy kyle show would say coming it is an overreaction. we will break back in a minute, calm down. but the break now will be a permanent one. jon donnison, bbc news. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba is here. this is a big blow for itv. yes, it is and it is important to emphasise this isn't the end of the story. we still don't know all the facts of itv's still don't know all the facts of itv‘s investigation and it is still going on into what happened. the inquest which we expect to open in the next few days will still hope to establish more facts about exactly what happened in this case. but even if itv have been cleared both by its own investigation and by the inquest, such as spotlight has been

shone on thejeremy kyle show over the last day in the eyes of politicians and so many members of the public, there is a real genuine feeling that it has many fans and although itv said they took huge amounts of care over the mental well—being of the people appearing on the show, it was a show for many which was out of step for the 21st—century, 2019, especially at a time where people are so much more aware and sensitive of people's mental health and well—being. a couple of other things, they say they want to carry on working with jeremy kyle. he is so associated with this particular programme that particularly persona is going to be a real challenge to find something for him, the family will probably be very pleased the programme has been taken off airand very pleased the programme has been taken off air and will be looking to the inquest to get further answers. the chief executive of itv said this was the right time to bring this programme of the error. too many people will said it should have happened a long time ago before the season came to pass. thank you very

much. theresa may is to try for a fourth time to get her brexit plans approved by parliament next month. labour says it will reject the withdrawal bill, unless there's a cross—party agreement. our political correspondent jessica parker reports. is this micro brick, prime minister? is this micro brick, prime minister? is that the last chance for your brexit? it could well be. the prime minister is set to make a fourth attempt to get your brexit plans approved by parliament. questions to the primus... approved by parliament. questions to the primus. .. but approved by parliament. questions to the primus... but her mps approved by parliament. questions to the primus. .. but her mps are signalling they are not open to endless compromise. can the prime minister confirmed that if we were to stay in a customs union and the single market we would have to pay billions into the european union that we couldn't do free trade deals around the world and we couldn't control our own immigration? and that we will never betray the promise that we made at the last general election, that we will deliver a full brexit unlike the broken promises from the party opposite. he mentions the last

election commitments that were made at the last election because he and i both stood on a manifesto promising to deliver the best possible deal for britain as we leave the european union delivered bya leave the european union delivered by a smooth and orderly brexit as we seeka by a smooth and orderly brexit as we seek a new deep and special partnership including a comprehensive trade and customs union agreement with the european union. we have negotiated a good deal that delivers on those and i am determined to deliver it. it was last night that the may gave the signalfor a vote last night that the may gave the signal for a vote in last night that the may gave the signalfor a vote in earlyjune, leaving parliament after an hour—long meeting withjeremy corbyn she is keeping those cross—party lines of communication open. but labour is not for budging, saying it won't support a deal unless the government gives more grand. unless there is a deal, unless we can convince our side that there is a deal worth supporting, this could be the fourth occasion when her deal goes down. after weeks of these cross— party goes down. after weeks of these cross—party talks with labour, the government has made its move. there is now an effective deadline for those talks as well as a date for a

political showdown in parliament. but there is little sign that the maps in terms of votes has shifted in theresa may's fiver, so many will see this as a last throw of the dice from a prime minister who is running out of options and running out of time. and warnings today from ministers that voting down an agreement could lead to a no—deal departure from the eu or no brexit at all. mps will need to look and see whether they want to continue down the path that inexorably i think takes us to either the potential of revocation of article 50 four leaving without a deal. but the clock has ticked down to big brexit deadlines before. there is no guarantee that the pressure of time will lead to certain progress. our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. it is difficult not to see this as anything other than a last throw of

the dice. i think we are entering the dice. i think we are entering the brexit end game for mrs my‘s plan and for her premiership. it was striking in the commons this lunchtime, there was a curiously underpowered mrs knight, almost a reflective m rs underpowered mrs knight, almost a reflective mrs may, and i wonder if she knows in her bones see is perhaps in the last few days of her premiership because if that deal goes down, most here think it will, it's very hard to see how she can continue stop one of her eyelids said to me this morning there will not be a fifth attempt. some tories here are actually pressing to force a contest before they get tojune. they want out before she gets the chance to bring a deal back which begs the question why is she doing this? i think in part she isjust one out of all other options. i think in part to see is clinging to the hope thatjeremy corbyn will come riding over the horizon like the seventh cavalry to rescue her. i think she also says a little window

of opportunity in the aftermath of the european elections, which are disastrous for both the main parties, if they are it might force them together. this isjust parties, if they are it might force them together. this is just me speculating, i think for her personally, it provides her with a way out, because of the deal goes down she can at least say aye have done everything, i tried to re—negotiate with brussels, i tried four times, re—negotiate with brussels, i tried fourtimes, i re—negotiate with brussels, i tried four times, i tried to get a deal with labour, none of that worked. in other words she could go on her own terms without being dragged out kicking and screaming by her party. norman, thank you very much. more than 120 mps have written an open letter to the government, asking for an urgent inquiry into how the family courts in england and wales treat victims of domestic violence and abuse. the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire programme found that in the last five years, four children have been killed by a parent who was given access by the family courts — despite having a known history of domestic violence.

emma ailes reports. when parents separate and they can't arrangements for their children, they can end up in the family court. a judge then decides what contact each parent should have. there's a fundamental presumption in law that a child should have contact with both parents. but dozens have told the victoria derbyshire programme the courts have ordered unsupervised contact with a violent ex partner, including some with serious criminal convictions. and we've learnt that at least four children have been killed by a parent in the last five years, during access allowed by the court. mary's ex partner was physically abusive, and has numerous convictions for violent and drug offences. i was completely naive about the family courts. i assumed that they'd see to enable a violent man to have a relationship with his children, that contact needed to be supervised. i mean, i'd already seen him being physically aggressive to our child when he was a toddler.

but that's not how the family court sees it at all. the court granted mary's ex unsupervised overnight access. she says the children have since been coming home with unexplained injuries. while the court order‘s in place, she has to send them for contact or risk being prosecuted, which could mean time injail. there's this, i think, perception that mothers are preventing contact with fathers and they are doing that unilaterally and without good reason, and there's this idea that even though there's been domestic violence, she just needs to get over it. i've heardjudges say, "oh. it's just a little bit of dv." you know, it's minimised ratherthan seeing the significance of that. now mps from all parties are calling for an independent inquiry into the family courts. we need to know what's happening at the heart of ourjustice system. at the moment, i don't know how bad the problem is, the minister doesn't know how bad

the problem is, i don't believe the president of the family court knows how bad the problem is. the ministry ofjustice says that where there is evidence of domestic abuse, the courts are bound by law to consider the potential harm to the child, and that this should override any presumption of contact. emma ailes, bbc news. our legal correspondent clive coleman is here. some dreadful stakes on the face of it, and the question everybody is asking, how has that happened? some tragic mistakes and they should never have happened. following separation, contact between a parent and child can either be supervised at the contact centre with professional supervision, it can be unsupervised at a parent was macomb where the court can say there can be no contact at all. in these cases there is a resumption that following a separation it is in the child's best interests to have contact with both of its parents, but not if that is contrary to the welfare of the child, so that there is a risk that

there simply shouldn't be anything other than supervised contact. in cases that we have heard about, something has gone catastrophically wrong because when someone makes an application for contact there is normally a series of safeguarding checks, the organisation that safeguards the interests of children will carry out a risk assessment if there is any suggestion that the child is at risk of harm, the courts normally will proceed pretty cautiously in these circumstances. there will be a fact finding hearing that will be held in which if there are previous convictions, they should come to light. the problem is that secrecy of the family courts some believe that is adding to or aggravating these problems. the review is already under way but it isa review is already under way but it is a court —based review. these mps wa nt is a court —based review. these mps wantan is a court —based review. these mps want an independent review because they believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant in this instance. senators in the american state of alabama have passed legislation which would ban almost all abortions

— even in cases of rape or incest. if it's signed by the governor, the law will be the strictest in the us. aleem maqbool sent this report. my body, my choice! it was a last—ditch attempt to stop the passing of the most restrictive abortion law anywhere in the us. so the discussion, the question for me, for all of us is when is a person a person? alabama republicans argued that abortion should be banned at all stages of pregnancy, even in cases of rape or incest. you can't deny any longer the assault on women's bodily autonomy. jenna king shepherd had an abortion in alabama at the age of 17. she is alarmed that the new bill itself likens abortion to the holocaust. this is nothing like the holocaust. the thing that i want voters to understand and that i want our legislators to understand

is that you cannot give rights to a foetus that doesn't have viability outside the womb without stripping the rights of the woman. but the architects of the bill have ambitions far beyond ala bama's state boundaries. we hope the bill will go through the courts and be reviewed by the us supreme court to test the basis of the roe versus wade decision that unborn children are not persons within the meaning of the us constitution. so the idea is that the way you want things to go, abortion will in effect be banned across the united states? yes, that's correct. abortion would be banned. but first the bill had to pass in this statehouse. we heard details of how the new law would mean a doctor who carried out an abortion would face a jail term of up to 99 years. and then the vote happened. 25 ayes, six nays, one abstention. house bill 314 passes

well, the debate went late into the night that the predicted result happened. that the most restrictive ban on abortion in any state has passed. but the question is could that really now kick—start moves aimed at making abortion illegal right across this country? aleem maqbool, bbc news, in montgomery, alabama. the united states has ordered the immediate departure of what it describes as non—emergency government employees from iraq. there has been a sharp rise in tensions between the us and iran in recent days. our middle east correspondent martin patience is in beirut. just how significant is the latest move? it is significant in that it adds to a warship being sent to the middle east along with most. what we're seeing is america strengthening its military position in the region amidst growing tensions with iran. the background

to this is that washington withdrew from the iranian nuclear deal a year ago and then we impose sanctions on iran andjust ago and then we impose sanctions on iran and just last week it tightened up iran and just last week it tightened up the sanctions and those sanctions have really been hammering the iranian economy for the ban over the weekend there was a mysterious incidentjust off the coast of the uae in the gulf went for oil tankers we re uae in the gulf went for oil tankers were sabotaged america has not publicly accused iran of carrying out these attacks and indeed iran itself has called for an urgent investigation. but whoever did carry out the attacks is clearly sending a message that we can disrupt global oil supplies and that is what is leading to a potential showdown between america and iran. a court has heard that a man accused of making "incredible and untrue" claims of abuse and murder used a secret email account to communicate with police, while pretending to be a corroborative witness. carl beech denies perverting the course ofjustice and fraud.

june kelly is at newcastle crown court. this morning the court has been hearing about some of the lies carl beech is said to have told two scotla nd beech is said to have told two scotland yard detectives investigating his claims. he said he had a friend called fred who had also been the victim of this vip paedophile ring and he produced correspondence had to be written by a friend. then he said that his real name was john and a friend. then he said that his real name wasjohn and he got the police in touch withjohn as they thought for that they had to e—mail contact with him but in factjohn was carl beech because he had set up a bogus e—mail account and he was pretending to be this person who was going to corroborate his claims. the prosecutor said that carl beech in fa ct prosecutor said that carl beech in fact are have a friend called john and that man has been traced and said he was never a victim of abuse. he also touched this morning on what

motivated carl beech to make these bogus claims and he talked about the fa ct bogus claims and he talked about the fact that he was going to get attention and also there was a money element in that he did get compensation and used part of that to put down a £10,000 deposit on a very expensive car. the prosecutor continues his opening this afternoon. our top story this lunchtime... itv axes thejeremy kyle show — after a guest who took part in the programme is found dead. coming up... get with the plot — bafta urges television shows to have more story lines and references to climate change, to help tackle the issue. coming up on bbc news... there's criticism for heavyweight deontay wilder after he said he wants to kill an opponent in the ring. the american defends his wbc title against dominic breazeale on saturday. many men are well used to chatting to their friends about football — but ask them to talk

about their mental health — and it's a trickier task. well this morning a new campaign was launched by the duke of cambridge which aims to use football to help end the stigma around mental health. and in a bbc documentary, prince william has teamed up with some former premier league players to highlight the issue. joe wilson reports. so, what do blokes talk about in the football changing room? how about this? suicide, for instance, is one of the highest killers of young men under the age of a5. and that's an appalling stat. the guys, there should be a turning point where we can really kind of maximise the reach and the potential of everyone involved. there are famous faces in dan walker's new bbc documentary, but also everyday men facing the everyday reality that mental health is fragile and sport can offer a solution. with regards to football and mental health recovery,

it's notjust the game, it's the camaraderie, it's the people that you play with. it's that exertion on the field. for that hour and a half, you are somewhere else. the london marathon is one place where we have seen members of the royal family promoting their heads together charity with the blue colour scheme. next season there will be a partnership with the fa, english football will be dedicated to mental health awareness. that was the concept launched at wembley today. we want to highlight some of the ideas and solutions that fans themselves have developed for tackling their mental fitness. we want coaches and specialists to share their experiences of how to help other people who are struggling. we will use our national game to spread the message that mental health isn't a sad, difficult topic, it is just part of everyday life.

football it's certain, generates attention. life often imitates football. sterling! one minute you're on top of the world. and the next... your hopes and dreams can be snatched away. if football for all who play and watch it can represent something progressive, then very little else can match its influence. joe wilson, bbc news. and you can see that documentary ‘a royal team talk: tackling mental health‘ on sunday evening at 10.30 on bbc one — and afterwards on the iplayer. the inquests into the deaths of the eight people killed in the 2017 london bridge attack have been hearing evidence from pc mia kerr. the court heard she drew her baton to protect people trying to save victim sebastien belanger from attack. daniel sandford is at the old bailey. by by far the most compelling evidence this morning was from this young

police officer, pc mia kerr, attached to peckham police station she arrived less than ten minutes after the attack started and quickly became aware of are very seriously injured frenchmen at the bottom of some stories at the south end of london bridge. when she got down the members of the public were treating him and she was very concerned that the attackers could return for the she drew her baton and she was watching three entrances while trying to protect the members of the public and also took a part in giving chest compression and breath to this very seriously ill casualties. throughout her video police officers can be heard calling for assistance require paramedic assistance. man with stab wounds. she told the court time just stood still, we just wanted some help. further messages were going out, casualties, at the bistro for that eventually a police medic turned up

to help them with treating sebastien belanger who unfortunately died but at no point did they see any ambulance staff of the pie did not see any paramedics, pc mia kerr said, they must have deemed the area to be too dangerous in fact ambulance staff were just 50 metres away. broadband, tv, and phone companies have been told they will have to tell customers if better deals are available when their contract is coming to an end. new rules have been announced by ofcom this morning — the regulator claims up to 20 million customers could benefit. change uk's lead candidate in scotland for next week's european elections has ended his campaign — and announced he's backing the liberal democrats instead. david macdonald said his decision was "purely about mathematics" — due to the danger of splitting the pro—remain vote to the benefit of the brexit party. all police forces in england and wales are to receive new guidance on how to support

female staff as they go through the menopause. a police federation survey last year suggested only 11% of managers had been given training on how to support colleagues. jayne mccubbin has spent time with one officer who's used her own difficult experience to help change her police force for good. at a6, helen had it all — holidays abroad, happily married, a successful son. this one is in qatar in the middle east... and a brilliant career — here, advising the prime minister of qatar on world cup policing. you were confident? yeah. successful? yes. and then...bam. yeah, and then, life kind of started to change. i've never suffered any kind of anxiety, and then suddenly, i started going into work and i would leave tasks half—done, and do another six tasks, and go back to the other task. there was constantly 1,000 thoughts in my mind, adding to this build—up, really, of anxiety within me.

helen went from advising heads of state to being overwhelmed on the supermarket run. and there was a fear that if she told work how she felt, she would be seen as weak. you almost took the decision to quit? yeah, yeah. it was that bad? yeah. the thing that stopped me looking after myself for so long, the thing that ground me into the ground, was me worrying about other people's perceptions. helen didn't quit. she did take time off and she got a diagnosis — this was extreme, but treatable, perimenopause. and today, on hrt, she is back. here i am, yeah. new role, new station, new team. new you? yes, yeah, definitely. my decision—making is back, my problem—solving is back, being organised is back. sometimes my words come out in the wrong order, but, hey—ho, that's just my character now!

this wasn't a weakness, just the change. and helen has gone on to help change the force for others. she is now a menopause ambassador here at greater manchester police, where there is mandatory training in a menopause policy. we can now go off sick with menopause—related illness, such as you can with pregnancy—related illness. what do you go off sick with? i'm confused? stress, depression? it doesn't fit anything... to be able to just call it for what it is. yeah, yeah, menopause—related illness. it's huge. yeah. and all 43 forces across england and wales are about to receive barnd—new menopause guidance. i'm not weak, i had a tough time. i took some time out to rebalance and, do you know what, it's the best thing i've ever done. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. tv plot lines are often used to help raise awareness about important issues. now, bafta says more comedy and drama series should mention climate change. the organisation believes it will help inform — and perhaps change — peoples' attitudes,

as laura foster reports. it was scenes like this from blue planet i! that changed the way we think about plastic. and soap operas are often praised for raising awareness of difficult social and health issues. and now bafta says it's time to put the spotlight on climate change. we live on this planet and if we ignore that then we're not being authentic with our audiences. also, there's so muchjeopardy in climate change, it's ripe to tear apart in comedy and drama. charlie brooker is one writer who hasn't been afraid to use climate change for stories as part of his show black mirror. you tend to get things like game of thrones, where the whole, the dead at the wall, and winter is coming, was kind of playing out like a metaphor for climate change with everybody warring and getting caught up in their own political squabbles while facing sort of annihilation. it is a very, very tough nut to crack.

this isn't a call to make more documentaries about climate change and our planet, it's about taking our planet and putting it into every single piece of output on television, into the soaps, into the comedies, into the dramas. these writers say it's about showing more sustainable ways of living on screen. we're beginning to see the real—world effects of climate change on people who have no choice but to bear the brunt of it. and i think if drama and television are not reflecting that we're not doing ourjob properly. the aim is for the future of our planet to become a natural topic of conversation, while at the same time keeping audiences entertained. laura foster, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. scotla nd scotland enjoyed probably the warmest day of the year so far. but this is corsica taking a step back

into
