21st—century, in a 2019. we now have an enquiry from 0fcom who is likely to be looking at it as well. more questions to be asked. thejeremy kyle himself, he does things like today at five: itv shuts down the jeremy kyle show permanently — documentary serious, but so much after a guest on the programme attention has been drawn to his was later found dead. describing the "gravity of recent events" — personality, his personae on the the broadcaster says there will be show, but how will this actually no new series after 1a years at move into other areas, how he is the heart of itv‘s daytime schedule. mps are to investigate perceived on other programmes? it whether enough support is offered to guests on reality tv shows — will be a challenge for itv. the chief executive of itv said this was during and after filming. the right time to bring the programme ofair, the right time to bring the programme of air, a lot of people we'll have the latest and talk disagree with that for different reasons. it still has a lot of loyal to the former big brother star, nikki grahame, who appeared on thejeremy kyle show. fans, a lot of people who watch the the other main stories show wouldn't mind being on the show on bbc news at five: a court hears that a man accused and think it shouldn't mean taking of making up claims of child off at all. other people think it is abuse and murder against public figures is himself "a committed not the right time to take it off and manipulative paedophile." here simply because of everything that has gone on, in the past, theresa may gives her brexit deal one more chance with mps in earlyjune — despite the fact itv say they do whether or not she reaches look out for the mental health
5:01 pm
agreement with labour impact. a lot of people think it over the way forward. should have been taken off long before the events of the last few and with little more days. than a week to go before the european elections — here in the studio we'll be putting your questions with me is nikki grahame to the main parties. and today, it's the turn who was a contestant on big brother back in 2006. of the snp — with their leader she's since appeared at westminster, ian blackford. on thejeremy kyle show talking that's at 5:30pm. the inquest into the 2017 about her career in reality tv. london bridge attacks thank you forjoining us. a lot of hears from a policewoman who used her baton to try to protect people, battling to save one of the victims. and, we need to talk says prince william — discussion this week about the duty as he teams up with legendary football players, calling for more discussion of care producers and editors should have when dealing with people who about men's mental health. are appearon in have when dealing with people who we will use our national game are appear on in these kind of programmes, you have been very open to spread the message about your own struggles with that mental health isn't a sad, difficult topic. anorexia. you of course went on to it's just part of everyday life. success on big brother. do you believe that you received the kind of help that you needed when you went on those shows?” of help that you needed when you went on those shows? i think all the co ntesta nts went on those shows? i think all the contestants going into big brother at the time, we were fully aware of
5:02 pm
it's five o'clock, good afternoon. what the repercussions could be. we our top story is that itv has knew it could go one way or the cancelled, for good, thejeremy kyle show other, we were all made very aware after a guest died shortly after filming an episode of the programme. of that and the production team were extremely thorough in their vetting steve dymond was found dead process. i wasn't completely at his home last week. itv‘s chief executive says truthful with my past, eating the decision to axe the show was made because of the "gravity disorders... i didn't tell them. i of recent events," and following the announcement, a committee of mps has begun told them once i was a housemate. an inquiry into whether enough support is offered to guests on tv they made it clear that the shows during and after filming. opportunity to speak to the jon donnison has more. therapist was always there, the offer was always there, i always for more than a decade, watching people's lives fall apart on the felt very supported. about being in jeremy kyle show has the spotlight, not been completely passed for entertainment. candid with the producers, did it it's been popular with around affect your mental health? being the a million viewers for each episode. centre of attention, did it make things difficult for you?” not any more. in a statement itv‘s chief centre of attention, did it make things difficult for you? i was in a very fortu nate things difficult for you? i was in a very fortunate place and i did the show because my eating disorder was executive, carolyn mccall said: not prevalent at the time, i was
5:03 pm
well. but they offer to comment after the show, up to two years the opportunity to go back and speak to the therapist if we needed. i took that opportunity along with a couple it comes after 63—year—old steve dymond reportedly of other housemates as well. do you took own life last week, just days after appearing on the show and failing think there is any fault? we still don't know the full details but do a lie detector test. you think there is any fault on the itv said that everyone pa rt you think there is any fault on the part of the producers when it came at the network's thoughts and sympathies were with his to the situation with thejeremy family and friends. everyone felt the mood change... kyle show? i don't. ithink this woman was part of the studio audience when the show in to the situation with thejeremy kyle show? i don't. i think that show, for 1h years, has been so question was recorded. popular. jeremy kyle has helped so many people and put them into rehab. it was just completely shocking to have a live studio my many people and put them into rehab. audience watching his my experience with him, he was one life crumble apart. of the kindest men, ifelt it really wasn't entertainment. i think both me and my friend my experience with him, he was one of the kindest men, i felt very looked after by production when i came away feeling very upset about what we had seen. was on the show. he interviewed me jeremy, have you anything to say? about my past eating disorder and i jeremy kyle, seen here yesterday arriving at his went away feeling like it was a good home in windsor, has experience all round. i think by not publicly commented. taking it off it, more people are
5:04 pm
itv says it will continue to work with him on other projects. again, he took a battering in this going to suffer because so many people tune in to watch that show morning's tabloids — albeit from every day and he has helped so many papers who have sometimes fed off the stories originating from his show. yea rs every day and he has helped so many years and people on the show. i think it's a real shame. two people but the negative publicity may from love island have committed have forced itv‘s hand. suicide and they are not about to the network will be keen this ta ke suicide and they are not about to take that issue of the tv. do you doesn't spread to some of its other big money spinners, think perhaps there may be people where people willingly make a public out there who do have mental spectacle of their personal lives. a boy and girl whose first names begin instability, may have problems, but with letter must snog who are blinded by the idea of for five seconds... becoming famous and being on in the past 12 months, two of love island's former contestants television and so on. and that took their own lives, overrides their mental stability and although both cases were two years after appearing on the show. cause problems? i think there are so many reality tv shows now readily fans of thejeremy kyle show available and it so much easier to would say canning it is an overreaction. get onto the shows. back when i did big brother, it was a six—month we'll go break, back in a minute, calm down. auditioning process but now, it but the break now will seems anybody can roll up and just be a permanent one. jon donnison, bbc news. go on these shows. i'm sure that
5:05 pm
it's drummed home to them what the our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, is at itv‘s repercussions could be but i think headquarters in central london. people are just so focused with the end goal of finding that they really don't consider those factors and go this show, it's been important to itv but my bottom line for many yea rs itv but my bottom line for many years and it seems scrapping the in almost blindsided —— fame. show was inevitable after what has happened but there are still big don't consider those factors and go in almost blindsided -- fame. one mp questions to answer. what happens that it programmes like thejeremy kyle show risk people who might be next? as you say, that is still a vulnerable on a public stage at a point in their lives when they are lot to find out about the particular unable to see the consequences. you made it clear that you felt you were circumstances of this case. itv‘s investigation is still under way. an in control of your anorexia, you inquest is expected to be open only didn't tell the producers, you went next few days which should get on the show. but the consequences everybody, most importantly at the could have been quite serious.” family, more idea of what went on, know. i was extremely lucky and i what steve dymond's state of mind have always had such a great support network and to the public have been was. it is important to register that we don't have the full facts in fantastic. i have had a great career front of us. that said, even if itv but you don't know when you are and the jeremy front of us. that said, even if itv and thejeremy kyle show were
5:06 pm
com pletely risking going on a reality show, you and thejeremy kyle show were completely cleared by the subsequent inquest, so much attention has now do not know how you are going to be been drawn into the programme, so many people have looked at it and perceived. i think, not liked what they have seen that do not know how you are going to be perceived. ithink, to do not know how you are going to be perceived. i think, to take a lie it was inevitable that even if they detector test and for it not to have we re it was inevitable that even if they were deciding there was no blame to worked out, that was an extreme be attached to itv in this case, case. do you think that went too steel, enough has gone on over the last 1a years that actually, it is far? i do. it has never happened this really at the kind of programme before. like i said, jeremy kyle has that should be on here any helped so many people and it is really sad. jeremy kyle is always pa rt really sad. jeremy kyle is always part of our heritage now, it's so strange that it's not on any more. they have made it clear they will not bring it back. do you think that kind of confrontational daytime television, do you think there is a future for it, could it be the beginning of the end?” future for it, could it be the beginning of the end? i wouldn't like to save. i wouldn't want it to be the end. i can understand
5:07 pm
producers might have felt they had no choice to take it off their for now, but i hope it would come back one day. thank you forjoining us. the man charged with lying over claims that senior figures in public life were involved in a child abuse ring, has been described in court as a "committed and manipulative paedophile." the prosecution at newcastle crown court says carl beech had convictions for voyeurism, and making and possessing indecent images of children. he denies charges of perverting the course ofjustice and fraud. 0ur correspondent, fiona trott, is at newcastle crown court. fill us in exactly what happened. thejurors were fill us in exactly what happened. the jurors were told that the police found an app on carl beech's ipad which had images of young boys on the akamai indecent images of the most serious kind said the
5:08 pm
prosecution. it was said that carl beech made and indecent images. the man who accused people of murder and child abuse was himself a committed paedophile. carl beech had no reaction as thejury paedophile. carl beech had no reaction as the jury was told of these offences. it was said that the fa ct these offences. it was said that the fact that he was a paedophile may be how he conceived such a detailed and sadistic stories of the abuse of young boys out of the hands of much older men. thejury has heard young boys out of the hands of much older men. the jury has heard that carl beech told police that lord brandl, the former tory mp, harvey proctor, needed a boy in front of him. he made accusations against the former home secretary, lord britain, edward heath and jimmy saville two. the prosecution heard that carl beech made money from his claims, thejurors were beech made money from his claims, the jurors were too he received a payment of £22,000 from the criminal
5:09 pm
injuries compensation authority, which funded a deposit for a convertible car, the jury was told. the court also heard more about the prosecutions case that carl beech fled to sweden to escape being prosecuted, he bought a property in a remote forest and grew a lengthy beard as a rudimentary disguise, jurors were told. the prosecution barrister ended the opening statement today by saying this, the defendant carl beech was not abuse in the way he claims by members of parliament, seniorfigures in the way he claims by members of parliament, senior figures in in the way he claims by members of parliament, seniorfigures in the military, m15, m16, ora showbiz personality. these were stories told to the police, intending for them to be taken seriously, they were told bya be taken seriously, they were told by a thoroughly manipulative and deceitful individualfor by a thoroughly manipulative and deceitful individual for his own purposes. that is carl beech. the 51—year—old denies the allegations against him out the trial continues.
5:10 pm
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. 0ur political correspondent jessica parker has the latest. is this make or break, prime minister? is this the last chance for your brexit? it could well be. the prime minister is set to make a fourth attempt to get her brexit plans approved by parliament. but her own mps are signalling they are not open to endless compromise. we will never betray the promise that we made at the last general election that we will deliver the full brexit, unlike the broken promises from the party opposite. he mentions the last election and 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 by a smooth, orderly brexit, as we seek a new deep and special partnership, including a comprehensive free trade and customs agreement
5:11 pm
with the european union. i'm committed to those objectives, i believe we have agreed a deal that delivers on those. it was last night that theresa may gave the signal for 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 ground. unless there is a deal, unless we can convince our side there is a deal worth supporting, this could be the fourth occasion when her deal goes down. after weeks of these cross—party talks with labour, the government has made its move. there is now a deadline for those talks, as well as a date for a political showdown in parliament but there is little sign that the maths, in terms of votes, has shifted in theresa may's favour, so many will see this as a last throw of the dice from a prime minister running out of options and running out of time. and warnings today from ministers that voting down an agreement
5:12 pm
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 a path that inexorably, i think, takes us to either the potential of revocation of article 50 or 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. the headlines on bbc news: itv shuts down thejeremy kyle show permanently — after a guest on the programme was later found dead. a court hears that a man accused of making claims of child abuse and murder against public figures is himself "a committed and manipulative paedophile." theresa may gives her brexit deal one more chance with mps in earlyjune — whether or not she reaches agreement
5:13 pm
with labour over brexit. scotla nd scotland have named their squad for next month women's world cup. they make their debut in the tournament. england captain, eoin morgan, is suspended for the next one day international against pakistan, he has also been fined because of a slow over rate in their last match. wbc heavyweight champion, the audit while, who do against tyson fury in his last bout has been criticised after again saying he wants to kill an opponent in the ring. more on this stories later. 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 has found that in the last five years, four children have been killed
5:14 pm
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.
5:15 pm
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.
5:16 pm
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. 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. the inquest has also heard about the death ofjames mcmullan — the only british person to die in the attack. 0ur correspondent, richard lister,
5:17 pm
is at the old bailey. that inquest into her he was the only british person to die. he left a pub which was right next to where the attackers than crashed after it crossed london bridge. he left it at just a few minutes before to have a cigarette. when he went back in to join his friends, he was not actually allowed to go back into the pub so he decided he would walk along a little bit and go down some steps to a courtyard. when that van crashed and the attackers got out, they went down into that courtyard and killed three people, he was one of them. the inquest has been fairly frustrated in finding out the details of that attack because unlike the other attacks, there was no video footage available of
5:18 pm
exactly what happened to him. he is invisible from the moment you leave the pub until the point his body is found. his family were in court threw listening intently to the various witnesses, including a police officer who try to give james cpr but he was unresponsive. there has been some evidence earlier that he might have been something of a hero, in that when the attackers than was heard coming across the bridge, one young woman turned to flee with a big child running away, there is evidence that she fell and it may well be that james mcmullan was trying to help her back up when the attackers got to him and stabbed both her and him. you mentioned pc mia kerr, a remarkable young woman who was one of the first officers on the scene that in who was one of the first officers on the scene where sebastien belanger courtyard where sebastien belanger was stabbed and members of the
5:19 pm
public were trying to help him. she said she decided she would try and to find members of the public from the attackers should they come back but she only had a bat on. she was asked about the fact she only had a bit and she said yes, i was also concerned that i was the only officer down there, it felt like forever, i felt like the only person they were looking to for help. i only had one years service at that stage, it felt like a lot of pressure. they were there for half an hour trying to say sebastien belanger but they were not successful, u nfortu nately. belanger but they were not successful, unfortunately. pc mia kerr was given a commendation today by the metropolitan police. broadband, tv, and phone companies have been told they will have to inform customers if better deals are available when their contract is coming to an end. new rules were announced by 0fcom this morning. the regulator claims up to 20 million customers could benefit.
5:20 pm
similar rules already apply in the energy and insurance market. 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.
5:21 pm
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 state house. we heard details of how the new law would mean a doctor who carried out
5:22 pm
an abortion would face a jail term of up to 99 years. and then the vote happened. 25 ayes, 6 nays, 1 abstention. house bill 314 passes. well, the debate went late into the night but 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. time for a look at the weather. here's matt taylor with the forecast. sunshine from top to tail of the country, warmest day of the year so far. 26 celsius in the highlands this afternoon, there will be a few changes taking place over the next few days. a bit more card for
5:23 pm
northern scotland. in western scotland, there may be showers through the night but most air dry with clear skies. another fresh night, temperatures are building day by day but they are not falling by much at night. lots of sunshine to begin with on thursday, isolated showers in scotland, 0rkney and shetland could see showers too. in england and wales, the further east you are, increasing amounts of cloud in the day. that means temperatures will be not quite as high as today. 0ne will be not quite as high as today. one was in western areas, where it could hit 21 degrees. that easterly wind will develop more cloud, chance of isolated showers.
5:24 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines: itv shuts down the jeremy kyle show permanently, after a guest on the programme was later found dead. a court hears that a man accused of making false claims of child abuse and murder against public figures, is himself "a committed and manipulative paedophile". theresa may gives her brexit deal one more chance with mps in earlyjune, whether or not she reaches agreement with labour over brexit. calls for an inquiry after it's revealed at least four children have been killed by a parent in the past five years, after a family court granted access. with little more than a week to go
5:25 pm
before the european elections, we'll be putting your questions to the westminster leader of the snp, ian blackford — that's after the sport. sport now with azi farni. we saw that star—studded squad announcement by england last week, with a number of celebrities revealing the names, and today scotland named their 23 for the women's world cup, a much simpler idea — children from a primary school in hamilton had the names of the chosen players on their backs. defender rachel corsie will captain the side in what is their first world cup finals, with arsenal midfielder kim little as her deputy. they are in a really tough group, facing england first, on 9thjune, japan, who were runners up at the last world cup, and argentina. -- 19th --19th of —— 19th ofjune. it was torture. it is the hardest thing i have had to do in my career
5:26 pm
as a manager. i sympathise with them. i know they will be disappointed, angry, frustrated. i totally understand that. it is a credit to the 35 players we have used because they have made it so difficult and it has been such a competitive environment. that is what we wanted. as much as it has been hiar, i think we are in a good place going into the world cup with the squad we have selected. deontay wilder has again said that he wants to kill an opponent in the ring, saying he wants "a body on his record." the american defends his wbc title against compatriot dominic breazeale on saturday. it's his first fight since his title defence against tyson fury in december ended in a controversial draw. this is what wilder said — "he is like a fly in my ear and i can't wait. i'm gonna get him out of there and it's going to be in a dramatic fashion. he has since defended those comments, saying it's part of boxing.
5:27 pm
dominic breazeale asked for this. i did not seek him, he was seeking me. this is not a gentleman's sport, we do not ask to hit each other in the face but we do in a way, ask any doctor, the head is not meant to be hit. england cricket captain eoin morgan scored the winning runs against pakistan in bristol yesterday, but he's suspended for the next one—dayer at trent bridge because of his side's slow over rate. morgan has also been fined 40% of his match fee. the rest of the england players have been fined 20%. jonny bairstow was also reprimanded and given one demerit point for hitting the stumps with his bat after being dismissed yesterday. ireland are playing bangladesh in dublin in theirfinal match of the tri series which also involves the west indies. they batted first with paul stirling leading the way, hitting a century. william porterfield also made 94.
5:28 pm
they finished on 292—8. bangladesh are going well in reply, 247—3. even a win for ireland wouldn't see them reach the final former champion tom dumoulin has withdrawn from the giro d'italia shortly after the start of today's fifth stage after failing to recover from a crash. the dutch rider injured his knee in a heavy fall yesterday. pascal ackermann went on to cross the line first, for his second stage win of this year's race. britain's simon yates is 35 seconds off the overall lead. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. injust over a week,
5:29 pm
the uk will go to the polls. now that of course wasn't supposed to happen due to brexit, but the delay in leaving the european union means we now have to take part and in the run—up to the vote on may 23rd. we're talking to all the main uk parties here on the bbc news channel, and we're putting your questions to them. today, taking your questions is ian blackford from the scottish national party. it is good to see you. thank you for coming in. we will start but some questions. simon asked... how can you justify your support for a second referendum to fishing and farming communities in scotland where constituencies mainly voted to leave in 2016? 5296 52% of voters voted to remain in scotland, that has probably
5:30 pm
increased over the course of the last three years. i was in the fishing communities in the north—east of scotland last week, fraser brown and peterhead, at what is important is arguing that our fishermen get a fair allocation of quota. the issue of the common fisheries policy is important, but whether you are in the cfp or not to the principles are the same and there is no question that our fishermen are being short—changed ever since we went into the european union, they were sold out by ted heath. the snp government before we we re heath. the snp government before we were in government, they have been a defender of ourfishing were in government, they have been a defender of our fishing commodities and will continue to defend those entries. keith in coventry says the scottish people had a vote for independence and rejected it. now the snp wants another vote. the uk voted to leave the european union, now you want another vote. why should the british people accept any result of a second referendum? when politicians like you blatantly disregard the referendum result that
5:31 pm
you do not lie? it is not about disregarding the referendum result, i accept the result in scotland in 2014 out of the referendum in 2016. but there is a big difference in those two referenda. when we went to the people in scotland, there was a long campaign. 650 page white paper which spelt out in detail what would happen. what in essence we had with the brexit referendum was a slogan ona the brexit referendum was a slogan on a side of a bus. nobody really knew what the outcome was going to be, add my real concern, nothing to do with whether people voted leave or remain, is in every formulation of brexit, when you look at the uk treasury report, brexit will cost jobs, and that a responsibility, all of us, to be honest with the voters as to what brexit is going to do. it is right, given the circumstances, that we go back to the people and say this is what will happen with brexit, do you still wish that to happen? if you talk about no deal,
5:32 pm
looking at the analysis for scotland, we would be talking on a neufville basis of losing as many as 100,000 jobs. unemployment is not a price worth paying for the ideology ofa price worth paying for the ideology of a small section of the tory party, because that is what it is. the snp is campaigning for remain, but perversely your best chance of getting what you really want, scottish independence, is if the uk does leave the european union because then you can point to the referendum in 2014 and say you did not sign up to it. i absolutely get the point, because we were told in 2014 v stayed in the uk then our rights as you —— eu citizens would be respected. i want to be independent irrespective of what happens with brexit because i wanted was a stronger economy, fairer society, i do believe with independence that is what we would deliver. the fundamental point is that everyone is going to pay a price for brexit, and i do not want to workers in newcastle or
5:33 pm
sunderland or in slough to lose theirjob or people to be poorer. there is a collective self—interest that we have, all of us should remain in the european union. i would take no credit from seeing a situation that the uk was poorer. you could argue that might make it easierfor us to argue you could argue that might make it easier for us to argue for independence, but we're taking a principled decision that we take it as an everyone's interest that we stay in the eu. when the issue of the economy, it is important, if i look at scotland, our population has not been a growing of the course of last 100 years. we are very concerned about the issue of free movement. we need that. to deliver sustainable economic growth, we need it in our industries and public services. if the uk leaves the eu, and we do not have the free movement, we are in trouble when it comes to delivering sustainability. it almost becomes impossible, because our working population will decline. there is a real impact that brexit will have on us. i accept thatis brexit will have on us. i accept that is but a little bit different
5:34 pm
from other parts of the uk, but there is real... but there is a wider argument that needs to be had on migration, because i believe that we have been enriched by migration, with 80s people from the eu are from out with that, we are as a society thatis out with that, we are as a society that is a culture we are stronger, and we have to champion what migration has meant. 0ur and we have to champion what migration has meant. our ability to work abroad, yes, you have to have investment in public services, we benefit economically and socially from migration. robert says... that is not a philosophy that i believe is likely to happen with the eu. there is a, let's take the example at the moment, we have been taken out of the eu against our
5:35 pm
will, scotland voted to remain, because maybe situation where we have devolution in scotland but westminster determined what happens. westminster determined what happens. west method takes powers back from the scottish parliament as part of this process that the scottish people have voted for in our referendum. the difference with the eu is that the eu is a forum for 28 member states coming together. there isa member states coming together. there is a consensus that develops out of that that you have to reach a consensus where the majority are prepared to support other areas, there has to be majority voting on all these issues. there is a difference between the way that works and the way that scotland is treated within the uk. i live on the isle of skye, on a craft, the level of financial support which is given to crofters, particularly those in hilly areas, is much lower than in other european nations. the eu voted to give us additional funding other european nations. the eu voted to give us additionalfunding in 2013, 232 million euros over the course of a four—year period. that
5:36 pm
money is given to the state, so in this case given to the uk. the uk has not passed that money on. we are actually treated more fairly by the eu than we are by westminster. jane has got enticed to ask... —— got in touch. there has been a lot of talk of the customs union of the last few months. it is one of the reasons i actually believe it is far better to have a people's vote on the basis of remain. that is a more democratic thing to do a dense right to give people a choice. i am very concerned about the option of the customs union on its own, because we should be clear about what that means. that means that the customs union, trade will take place for goods, but not for services. services are 80% of
5:37 pm
the uk economy, so we are locking services out of that. there is a second fundamental problem. in itself it does not deal with the challenges that we have at the border on the island of ireland, it does not satisfy the terms of the good friday agreement. you need elements of both the signal market and customs union, i would also say if we had adopted the approach at the start of the talks that we wa nted the start of the talks that we wanted to be in the cycle market and the customs union, we could have reached an agreement with the european union and ir men no doubt that if we had done that it would not be on the basis that we would civilly be a role take—up. the size of the uk would give his influence and the ability to get to a situation that we were not simply being, the customs union does not solve all our problems, it is better than a no deal, but it still means that it will cost us jobs, prosperity as a consequence of the customs union option. 36% of prosperity as a consequence of the customs union option. 3696 of snp voters wa nt customs union option. 3696 of snp voters want to leave the european union. how do you expand to them that the customs union, we should
5:38 pm
stay in? i have seen that figure bandied around before. what i can tell you, having been on the doorsteps, there is ashley quite a change in the attitude of snp supporters that voted leave. a large number have shifted to the remain side. we have given leadership to this and be very robust only argue must of we should remain. i understand why people voted leave, andi understand why people voted leave, and i think in some respects people are making a judgment on the lack of economic opportunities post—financial crisis, people feel there is a division in society that there is a division in society that the banks were bailed out, we had a huge programme that people haven't benefited from to the extent they should have done. they are blaming politicians and the european union, thatis politicians and the european union, that is not the fault of the european union, it is the fault of politicians at westminster. i do not disrespect the reason why people voted leave. you have touched on this, but touching on it again,
5:39 pm
tommy has got in touch to say... that is not the case. i will give you an example. the other saturday i was in portree which is the main village and sky. a young spanish lady is going to veteran a college and wants to live and work in scotland. i did the rules that the uk wish to impose, you would have to earn a salary of 30,000. there are many skilled jobs in scotland that do not own a salary of 30,000, so this is not about cheap labour, this is about access to labour to people who want to come and contribute to our society, make a positive contribution. the analysis is that emigrants do, can drive down wages. we have a problem and that is that we have not had sufficient investment in our economy. we have a
5:40 pm
problem with low productivity. we need to create the circumstances where we increase investment, drive innovation, drive up labour rates. it is not emigrants that are responsible for that, it is the fact that you have not had that investment because people have not seen the growth opportunity. that is the problem in the economy. we need a high wage economy. if we are to deliver economic growth in scotland, there are three pillars, productivity, population and the third is participation. you have to create the circumstances for that. scotla nd create the circumstances for that. scotland as an independent country becomes more of a destination. david has got in touch to say... because we will be responsible for our destiny when we have independence and have the applicable
5:41 pm
power in edinburgh, but that desire to share our sovereignty where necessary to do so, and electro mobile that we have a signal market today of close to 500 million people in europe. what you take to find of the course of the last two decades is that small countries have been the one that have deliver the higher gross rate because they have benefited from these opportunities of the signal market. i want those freedoms that come with membership of the eu, we benefit from that, and that ability that we have had to live and work and receive education throughout europe has enriched our society. we have benefited from the ability to gain cultural experiences by doing that and also the fact that others have come to live and work in scotland. 26% of the academic staff of edinburgh university are from the european union. with everything that has gone on in the last couple of yea rs, has gone on in the last couple of years, that talent pool has begun to dry up. there is a price we will have to pay that i want to make sure we do not do that, that we remain as european citizens, get all the benefits of that, that i think have
5:42 pm
enriched us culturally, socially, economically. for those people in scotla nd economically. for those people in scotland who would say you would simply swap one overlord, westminster, for another.” simply swap one overlord, westminster, for another. i would never use those terms. but we would have more of a respectful relationship. the uk has not come to terms with devolution. that needs to be addressed. as i've said, we're going to be interviewing all the main parties here on the bbc news channel. tomorrow we'll hear from sian berry, co—leader of the green party, and on friday it's the turn of chuka umunna from change uk. you can email us at askthis@bbc.co.uk or text us on 61124 or use social media with the hashtag #bbcaskthis. the headlines on bbc news: itv shuts down the jeremy kyle show permanently, after a guest on the programme, was later found dead. a court hears that a man accused

5:44 pm
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
5:45 pm
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
5:46 pm
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. 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, today 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 45. 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
