the inquest into the london bridge attacks hears how the only briton to be killed was helping a woman when they were both stabbed to death. all day and everyday, the severe pregnancy sickness that leaves many women with long term physical or mental health problems. and world leaders and internet giants have signed a call to action after the christchurch mosque attacks, hoping to stop social media sites being used to promote terrorism. good evening and welcome to bbc news. itv has axed thejeremy kyle show following the death of a participant. steve dymond died days afterfailing a lie—detector test on an episode which was never broadcast.

itv‘s chief executive, carolyn mccall, said her decision was based on what she called the "gravity of recent events". today, mps on the commons media committee announced that they would begin a probe into all reality tv shows to look at the duty of care they owed their partcipants. here's our media editor amol rajan. the precise circumstances of steve dymond's death are unknown and his appearance on thejeremy kyle show hasn't been broadcast, but the arena he entered has been described as a bear pit. audience: off, off, off, off, off! for some contributors, it was harrowing. this woman says appearing on the show had terrible consequences. it's nearly ruined my life. ca reer—wise, family —wise, relationship—wise. when i meet new people, i have to break it to them that i was on thejeremy kyle show. and mental health—wise, i've never been able to shake that off. it's definitely affected my self—esteem. for a bad decision i made years ago,

itjust follows me around. and this armed forces veteran found the show traumatic. from the producers, they were telling me that this wasjust going to be a family reunion, you haven't seen your daughter for ten years, let's start building bridges. and i thought, yeah. and then that's where i believe my character assassination started. he just absolutely tore into me. with ptsd, you have triggers, and that was a trigger. danny fuller went on the show five times, saying he was a sex addict. i was there for a reason, my personal goals. and, you know, i'd got what i needed, but it wasn't always fully helped by the show, as promised. they'll feed you with cigarettes all day to keep you keen and stuff. you want a cigarette every two minutes, you'll get a cigarette every two minutes. you want energy drinks, you'll get energy drinks. you want, you get, while you're there. but when it comes to anything else, there's nothing else there for you. there's no support at all. in fact, counselling is offered.

the show has had thousands of contributors in its 14 years, many of them very happy with the care they received. as a drug addict and someone who beats women! and loyal fans of the show, like jade—ann, loved it. people put too much of a downer on the show but, actually, there's so many positives about it that people just don't tune in to. i've seen both aspects, being in the show and seeing someone i know from the show. and it does help people. rehabilitation, finding family members, it helps them out of drug addictions. you know, it's good. yeah, he does really help you. and what role did producers on the show play, in intensifying an already febrile atmosphere? here's a former insider. i don't think there was enough care given to contributors who were appearing on the programme. there were... it was a very short period of time, they were cajoled, persuaded. they were given a sense of excitement about the programme and so on.

and for some people, yeah, they would be robust enough to take it and to go into it with open eyes and see it for what it was. however, clearly, some people were not robust enough to deal with that. as a reliable ratings winner, in a very competitive tv environment, jeremy kyle show was part of the furniture of daytime tv schedules. it belonged to a genre that is receding from our screens, but it spoke to millions who feel neglected by the media. and in encouraging them to go on a journey with the characters paraded in front of them, it belonged to our exhibitionist culture, in which private anguish is public spectacle. itv‘s love island is back on air injune. two of its former contributors have taken their own life, albeit two years after appearing on the show. itv insisted today's decision had nothing to do with protecting other key brands. they, and jeremy kyle, declined to be interviewed. amol rajan, bbc news.

let's speak now to charles walker mp, a member of the all—party parliamentary group on suicide and self—harm prevention. hejoins us from our westminster studio. thank you forjoining us this evening. you have been calling for thejeremy evening. you have been calling for the jeremy kyle evening. you have been calling for thejeremy kyle show evening. you have been calling for the jeremy kyle show to evening. you have been calling for thejeremy kyle show to be asked and now it is, we also have a parliamentary committee which is going to be looking into the duty of care, and also into the question of whether participants are pressed to exhibit more extreme forms of behaviour, given all of that are you satisfied and is it enough? yesterday i said they would ask that show and they did, it had no shot twice but to, they have a really big problem to deal with. itv talked about the care and mental health ca re assessment about the care and mental health care assessment get to the competitors, before they went on the show or the gas before they went on the show, there was a psychologist and three mental health nurse is available. my concern is that the

psychologist and mental health nurses were not looking for strong character is a robust is because it does bite —— type of people do not make a television. it does bite —— type of people do not make a television. they were looking for people of character weaknesses, people of character weaknesses, people of character weaknesses, people of explode and the really interesting thing will be the interaction between the so—called mental health professionals and the production team, where they actually brief the team and what buttons to price with each of the gas to make sure they are eliciting a relaxed —— reaction of different television, andi reaction of different television, and i suspect they will be really difficult questions asked and if i was a contestant who had been damaged by the show, i would be talking to lawyers now. i think itv could be in real trouble, notjust with this programme, but others present —— programmes, practically links with the people were there to ca re links with the people were there to care for the gas, but actually with a more interested in finding out what buttons to press and then conveying that information to the producers so they could press on

the. that's a very serious charge. it's not a charge, it's a question they need to answer, it's not good enough pulling the tv show, there is a full investigation and that needs to be investigated, that's not a serious charge. these people had profited off mystery for 14 years and if actually they were not accessing contestant for that, and why would a mentally robust against oui’ why would a mentally robust against our co ntesta nt why would a mentally robust against our contestant make a television? actually trying to identify people with weaknesses that could be exposed on television, and then i think they have even more serious questions to answer to and they would be a lot of trouble now i'm not a lawyer but if i was a co ntesta nt like not a lawyer but if i was a contestant like the ones you had in the programme a few minutes ago who we re the programme a few minutes ago who were damaged by the show, i would be consulting lawyers at this moment in time. you think regulators have questions to answer as well?|j time. you think regulators have questions to answer as well? i think we all had questions to answer and politicians have to bear the responsibility and the regulators and the viewers and the producers and the viewers and the producers and jeremy kyle, i don't think it'll

reflect well on society on show business, on television for years to come. people will ask, our children and grandchildren will ask how on earth did you allow that to go on? that bear—baiting. earth did you allow that to go on? that bear-baiting. thank you for joining us. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at ten a0 and 11.30 tonight in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are dia chakravarty from the telegraph and stephen bush, from the new statesman. jurors at newcastle crown court have heard that the man who claimed to have evidence of a vip paedophile ring was himself a paedophile. carl beech — known as nick during the investigation into his allegations against senior politicians and others — had pleaded guilty to child sex offences in a separate trial. mr beech denies 12 counts of perverting the course ofjustice and one of fraud. our correspondent, june kelly, reports from newcastle crown court.

erm, i've got, erm, what i can remember of it in there... carl beech in a police interview, claiming he was a victim, abused for years by a ring of powerful men. today, the jury in his case was told that he's a paedophile, convicted earlier this year of possessing sexual images of children and secretly filming a boy indecently. while scotland yard were carrying out a £2 million inquiry into his abuse claims, at his home, he was accessing indecent images of young boys. his offences were only discovered when his electronic devices were seized, after the scotland yard inquiry ended. prosecutor tony badenoch told the court, "this evidence among those beech falsely accused of abusing him were lord bramall — a former chief of the defence staff, lord brittan — once

a conservative cabinet minister, and the ex—tory mp harvey proctor. a search of his computer showed how he had researched them and others he named. the jury also heard how beech set up a bogus e—mail account, claiming to be another victim of the paedophile ring. detectives thought they were dealing with a second potential victim. in fact, they were e—mailing carl beech. while he was awaiting trial, beech fled to sweden and was eventually arrested on a train at gothenburg station. he'd entered into an agreement on this property hundreds of miles away. after months as a fugitive, carl beech — here at an extradition hearing in sweden — was sent back to the uk. tomorrow, the court will begin hearing from witnesses in this case. june kelly, bbc news, at newcastle crown court. senior cabinet ministers have urged mps to back the prime minister's brexit deal and warned that failure to do so will result in either us leaving the eu without a deal or not

leaving at all. mps are expected to vote on the withdrawal agreement in the first week ofjune, after the european parliamentary elections next week. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. time for the plan the prime minister stitched together with her continental colleagues to be tested again. theresa may's right to look nervous. not at the eu, but at home, where parliament has already said no to her deal three times. it seems almost impossible they'll say yes this time, but could the prime minister win them round? what this bill does is delivers on brexit. that's when mps come to look at this bill and they come to vote on this legislation, i'm sure that they will be thinking of the duty that we have to ensure that we deliver on the vote of the british people. this is the bill that delivers brexit. there's no lazing on this sunny afternoon.

ministers desperately need to change dozens of their colleagues' minds, if the laws that would take us out of the eu can pass parliament in a fortnight. week after week week, for month after month, the prime minister has been reminded how many of the tories hate the deal — in parliament and round the country. they say that her deal is worse than staying in the european union. more importantly, they've lost confidence in the prime minister and wish her to resign before the european elections. if everybody in the house of commons had voted alongside with the government and the majority of conservative members of parliament, we would already have left the european union! so why on earth is the government trying again, when there's plainly still so much resistance? well, one minister said simply, it's the right thing to do, to keep trying, rather than just give up. and number ten still believes there's a chance, however slim, that the talks with labour here on whitehall could result

in some kind of compromise. some kind of agreement that might allow brexit to get going again. but is labour really hovering, just waiting for a chance to help the government out? we're on the edge of the finality of the talks, because this has gone on for six weeks now, and it is all about whether or not people can have confidence in the delivery of anything that we can agree upon and whether or not there is sufficient compromise to be made in these last couple of days, i think. # rule britannia #. and ever—louder protests over brexit are matched with ever—louder calls for notjust her plan, but the prime minister to be moved out. well, the prime minister has made it clear that her period of office is drawing to a close and i think we need a new leader. that threat to her is very real. tomorrow, the prime minister will again have to persuade her backbenchers, in a crucial meeting, that she ought to keep

her place at the table. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. our political correspondent, iain watson, is at westminster. and, obviously some people are saying this is the debt throw of the may government, are we going to see battles joined in fierce may government, are we going to see battlesjoined in fierce rns between potential successes?” battlesjoined in fierce rns between potential successes? i think they have already begun to some extent, we have seen people positioning themselves setting out the stalls, making sure they're getting themselves across the party activists and the wider media. as for theresa may's on future, its right, there is a to show him —— crucial meeting tomorrow between the night between the executive, the most senior backbenchers in the conservative party, and the prime minister has south. once again, given some people saying they can't has been kicked, notjust on the road but all the got a big motorway, i brexit i don't think that meeting itself will be decisive, we won't get a date from the prime minister

precisely when she standing down but i think people will be expecting her to make it clear that she going sooner rather than later. she made an announcement in her own time, but there is a move i think not consensus, people have different views in this that the conservative party, but i think more of a move to try to make sure that he could potentially a new leader and place before the summer recess and the end ofjuly, i think the prime minister ideally would like a bit more time than that but what you can say to people anxious and restless about the future at the moment as luck, and as an opportunity to have another vote on brexit in the first week injune, so please don't do anything hasty just wait week injune, so please don't do anything hastyjust wait until then, what they want is a little bit more than that they want more than a knot and wait that after the crucial vote and wait that after the crucial vote and that bill if unsuccessful, she will be gone and someone else is in place. at the clock ticks down on brexit, but by the summer. thank you so much. these are pictures coming

in from the yard, because the helicopter has crashed into the hudson river. you canjust see some of the rescue efforts going on there. and the rescue crews on the scene of course, no injuries to report, the pilot out of the water, the helicopter is secure there. so he was the only one on board as we understand it. bringing more as we get it. the headlines on bbc news... itv‘sjeremy kyle show is axed for good following the death of a participant in the programme. the trial of a man who claimed he knew about a vip paedophile ring is told he was himself a paedophile. cabinet ministers warn theresa may's brexit deal will be "dead" if the bill does not pass in the commons injune. and coming up — the head of the national police

chiefs' council has urged the government not to adopt an official definition of islamophobia. shortly we'll discuss the issue with representatives from the conservative muslim forum and the muslim council of britain. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, joining us and sarah. that evening, let's start. it's all eyes on elland road this evening as leeds host derby in the second leg of their championship semifinal play off. the hosts had a one goal lead from the first leg and now they are clear by 2. as stuart dallas has scored for them 25 minutes into the first half. the winner will face aston villa at wembley on 27 may for promotion to the premier league. live text commentary on the bbc sport website. deontay wilder has again said that he wants to kill

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 a0 per cent 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. bangladesh beat ireland in dublin in their final 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. they finished on 292 for eight from their 50 overs. bangladesh eased to their target with seven overs to spare. they'll meet the west indies in the final. great britain are likely to have to beat france on monday to avoid relegation from the ice hockey world championship. that's after they lost their fourth match

practise of late, not in sweaters, so this is a bit different. i am excited to get out there on the golf course. 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. that's bbc. c0. uk/sport. the inquest into the london bridge terror attack in 2017 has heard that the only british victim was helping a woman who had fallen over in the panic when he — and sara zelenak — were stabbed to death. james mcmullan's last heroic actions were captured on cctv.

from the old bailey, here's our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. james mcmullan, the young entrepreneur who, extraordinarily, was the only british person killed in the attack on london bridge. he'd been in the barrowboy and banker pub with friends, watching the champions league final. after the match, he went out for a cigarette and the bouncers wouldn't let him back in, so he got out his mobile to arrange the next stage of the evening. the last cctv image of james mcmullan shows him standing here, apparently on the phone to his friends just before the attack started. soon after the van crashed, a witness saw him helping a young woman who'd fallen over in the road in the panic, and then one of the attackers stabbing him as he did so. there's no footage of him after that, but he seems to have made his way down to the boro bistro. a witness saw him running along the wall at the back of the bar. andrius vorobjovas was drinking with friends in the bistro and saw

one of the attackers methodically stabbing customers. "the man was moving with purpose and looked as though he wanted to hurt as many people as possible," he told the coroner. andrius said he ran for the corner of the courtyard where, "i nearly stepped on a person who was laying on his belly. i was very shocked and amazed to see someone there." it was james mcmullan, but by the time anyone could help him, he was no longer breathing. his gallant action, helping the young woman who'd fallen, had led to his death at the age of 32. daniel sandford, bbc news, at the old bailey. the government seems to reject because of a new definition of islamophobia. a new definition of islamophobia backed by several muslim groups and political parties. tomorrow mps will debate the working definition(ffgfx) which states that "islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets

expressions of muslimness or perceived muslimness". both the head of counter terrorism policing and the national police chiefs council have raised concerns that the definition could undermine counter—terrorism powers. with me is the spokesman for the muslim council of britain, miqdaad versi. alsojoining ius chair of the conservative muslim forum mohammed amin. thank you forjoining us. you want this new definition, why do we need it and why is it the one you have given? but we have right now is a rise in islamic particularly from many enemies at the far right, understanding it's more thanjust mere muslim anti—muslim hatred, it's not just a verbal and mere muslim anti—muslim hatred, it's notjust a verbal and physical assaults we see, but also structural discrimination and institutional discrimination and institutional discrimination by challenges when it comes to media races and we see an element of the tabloids for example. when you add 70% fewer british

muslim women getting jobs compared toa muslim women getting jobs compared to a christian when then, that's a problem we need to look at and delayed, it's not anti—muslim hatred, but we need to recognise is a type of racism and type of racism that's targeting not black people, notjewish people, that's targeting not black people, not jewish people, but that's targeting not black people, notjewish people, but actually expressions of muslim nets, and by that what we mean is anything that identifies you as muslim, that is being targeted by scar for example a name, a bbc report showed that if you had the name mohammed, you are three times less likely to get a flight three times less likely to get a flight or three times less likely to get a job then someone called them, and these types of things are really problematic and it's appointed me if you had the name mohammed, you are three times less likely to get a flight three times less likely to get a flight or three times less likely to get a job then someone called them, and these types of things are really problematic and it's appointed we define what needs to former racism? agreed, that's exactly what this definition is trying to do, we want to make it clear however, is is not

something critical of islam, some people seem to have this opinion that as on the phobia is trying to police and create blasphemy, that's not what the aim is to identify definition tries to make it clear that when targeting muslims are expressions of muslims, that's what needs to be look at that and if the type of racism because that's what the bride express an industry think and that's how it manifests itself, if you think about racism, any type of racism, exactly like typing is targeting expressions that muslim stoplight i want to share what he has to say, i hope you are a bit to seal all of that, is that a fair argument? not at all, it's all against the law to discriminate on grounds of religion, everyone at instances on bad behaviour they talked about is already illegal. the definition is badly thought out, one that everyone knows about muslims is

that everyone knows about muslims is that they are not a race. which is why i think it's a terrible definition. it's unnecessary because every problem that the definition is trying to solve is a problem where it already exist and not to protect people. there are two different questions here, one is when it comes to ita questions here, one is when it comes to it a type of racism, and the reality is all race express and university seem to recognise that it is. what happens is that muslims, with a black asian or white muslim, what happens is that if they are perceived to be muslim, they are treated as a homogenous group. called ipod, please take that point. —— hold called ipod, please take that point. — — hold that called ipod, please take that point. —— hold that point. racism used by academics is different from a man in the street. to academics, race does not exist, but they define it as a behaviour, whereby you take people

asa behaviour, whereby you take people as a group and defined them as a group and treat them badly, does not matter what kind of group it is. that is not tied the worried racism is understood in normal language. a normal language, racism is about ethnically defined groups of people and muslims are not defined by ethnicity. if you look at anti—semitism, judaism is not necessarily a race, there are many different at the 50s that may be... would you call that racism as well? mostjewish people would you call that racism as well? most jewish people call would you call that racism as well? mostjewish people call it that. would you call that racism as well? most jewish people call it that. 0k well would you call that race is in his anti—semitism in a form of racism? jewish people and sikhs are the only two religious groups i know what there is almost a complete ove rla p what there is almost a complete overlap between practising religion and members of ethnic group, jewish people are well known as an ethnic group, that's why they are —— the germans when they persecuted the jewish people both practising jewish

people and atheists, and is a converted, because they have always been seen as apt at the group. and it think of themselves as such.|j have to move the discussion along i apologise for interrupting but we are writing short in time, what about what we hear from the police chief and the head of counterterror, they all say it's going to undermine they all say it's going to undermine the investigate operation at the definition goes through, so even if we argue on the head of an opinion on races and aspect, but it's not going to happen, is it?|j on races and aspect, but it's not going to happen, is it? i think first, political parties from across the country seem to have adopted this definition i did and the conservative party, even scottish conservatives i got today, so we are much further along perhaps understood, but at the same time, it's great if the chief of police would talk to the people who propose a definition and try to understand it because it seems they seem to rep misrepresent the idea that i counterterror operation could be in

any way stop because of the definition is wholly problematic and it's not even true, what really is a case is islamophobia is that if i counterterror and was targeting muslims for their muslim identity rather than for example security reasons, but they are being discriminated against because they are muslim, then the definition cove rs are muslim, then the definition covers it otherwise it wouldn't and i think it's relatively fair there is no difference between most people on that issue. do you accept that point that the opposition on the grounds of interfamily policing is confusing the point that's not going to happen? i would not be so sure because the people who want to adopt this definition don't want to start withjust a start this definition don't want to start with just a start with adopting a definition they will want to go on a change the law quite soon we will see people wanting to make islamophobia by definition is legal, and at the moment i rely on race crimes and hate crimes is very carefully drawn out, carefully drafted to make sure we only criminalise the behaviours that we

actually want to capture. i'm going to. i'm going to entrap because they're short on time i want to ask you guys one thing, we have spent a lot of time today and tomorrow they will be my time spent in parliament discussing the definition, but surely the problem is the activity itself, is on the phobia i'm sure you both agree, not if you agree, thatis you both agree, not if you agree, that is on the islamophobia exists. everything he is unhappy about is already illegal. the bully agreed that it already illegal. the bully agreed thatitis already illegal. the bully agreed that it is on the phobia exists, and my point is if we spent time arguing the word we not fighting the phenomenon. i think that something we need to recognise, i would listen communities across the country and i'm talking about from northern ireland to scotland to wales midlands, london, whether it is secular muslims are religious, they have come together and assigned and agreed and endorsed the definition. muslim communities, it's important, we need to realise we are talking by

definition not changing a lot, and people to try to misinterpret and i feel partially disingenuous by talking about it we are talking about definition, not engaged on the definition recognised academics across the country seem to recognise it's important, parliamentarians do as well, let's try to get this happen to be a definition adopted by government. one last thought bu, my maid. does not matter how many people support the definition it does not make it better. we must leave it there, thank you for joining us. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. good evening, sunny skies at once again for many of you tomorrow. but there will be a start of that subtle changes. the first of that could be ten nights in fact for some. west of scotland with a chance of isolated showers and low cloud closer to the northeastern coast. elsewhere as he worked, the odd frost around, and a bit of a fresh night with temperatures dropping back to the mid—single figures from any as we start tomorrow morning. so once again, if you're up

early enough, the sign quickly getting going. if you see changes tomorrow come courtesy at a slight southeast breeze, nothing too substantial. but it's bringing low cloud to the shipments at times, cloud in the far west as scotland may produce the odd frost, most will be dry and later in the day at sunday start east anglia southern england. they could be a little bit more cloud building up here and there. nothing too substantial, still good sunny spouse, but note the temperature is still above where they should be for this time of year, a few spots may be close to 20 degrees if not higher and some western areas. but it'll start to feel cooler and and eastern breeze develops through friday and into the weekend not only could have a cloudier and a greater chance of showers. hello this is bbc news with carrie gracie. the headlines. itv‘sjeremy kyle show is axed for good following the death of a participant in the programme. steve dymond was found dead a week after his pre—recorded appearance — itv‘s boss says her decision was prompted

by the gravity of the situation the trial of a man who claimed he knew about a vip paedophile ring is told he was himself a paedophile cabinet ministers warn theresa may's brexit deal will be dead if the bill does not pass in the commons injune when they come to look at this bill and they come to vote on this legislation, i am sure that they will be thinking of the duty that we have to ensure that we deliver on the vote of the british people. the inquest into the london bridge attacks hears how the only briton to be killed was helping a woman when they were both stabbed to death and in the next half hour, we need to talk says prince william, as he teams up with legendary football players, calling for more discussion, about men's mental health. will use a national game to spread the message that it is not a sad

difficult topic, it is just a part of everyday life. 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. all eyes were on alabama for a sign of where america is heading. and its senators did this... 25 ayes, six nays, one abstention, house bill 314 passes. that bill all but outlaws abortion in the state at any stage of pregnancy and with no exemptions for rain or incest. for rape or incest. women do have rights, and i think that if it is a rape, there is a plan b. so they do have options and so there are other options out there that they can explore. but i think that abortion is a wrong thing. not so much as a religion thing,

ijust think it's a murder. i live with grief... she was 17, she found out she was pregnant but found she was 17 when she was raped, she found out she was pregnant but found that the baby had a condition that meant it wouldn't survive long. it was too late to have an abortion here. how does she feel that almost all women in her state will also now have no choice? the reasons why people would seek an abortion are, they are all significant. they are all something to be treated with empathy, and kindness and dignity and... i don't see that happening now. this is one of the few abortion clinics that remain in alabama, a place where there has been pressure from for years leading up to this point and even though this new law is all you come into force, this places been inundated with calls from women panicking

about what to do now. the law they are protesting against it may be the most restrictive but there are anti—abortion measures being tabled in the states right now. it is happening now because trump is an office right now. is in office right now. he is tapped the supreme court with very conservative members on the supreme court and i think folks are in bulleted folks are enboldened across the country, they think they have a way or a means now in order to be able to overturn roe v wade, the sponsor in the state of alabama set the that was her goal was to overturn roe v wade. of alabama said that was her goal was to overturn roe v wade. roe v wade is the landmark ruling that gave women the right to an abortion in the us. that right for many millions of women does suddenly look very vulnerable. joining us now is abbey crain. she's a journalist covering women and gender issues in alabama. thank you forjoining us. what is your reaction, you have been reporting on these events. how do

you feel about it, as a woman living in alabama and how do other women do you see and talk to feel about it? thank you for having me. when the bill passed last night, but set the stage, the reaction was the men locked the chambers, there were only three women in the room that were able to vote last night. all the men came out and were high—fiving and fist bumping and congratulating each other. i couldn't help i am a reporter and i want to be as objective as i can and report fairly on this issue, but as a woman first, it was heartbreaking to see people cheering over such extreme legislation. and today, i have gotten legislation. and today, i have gotte n lots legislation. and today, i have gotten lots of stories of people unsolicited people sharing with me their abortion stories and how before it was legal, where they had to travel to and i think people who

are pro—life are concerned about the extreme factors how there is no exceptions in this legislation. can you explain something to me that i am still puzzled by. i have seen the pictures of the white male senators who passed the bill, why is representation of women so very small and the alabama senate was yellow i mean, that is a great question. historically, democrats have done a betterjob of putting women in positions of power at. and alabama has long been a conservative, republican majority. and the three women and there were all democrats and that says a lot to where we are putting our funding behind candidates in alabama. and looking ahead, do you think there's any doubt at all that the governor

of alabama is going to sign this bill through? the sponsor led a press co nfe re nce bill through? the sponsor led a press conference after the hearing and said that she has been talking with the governor and they expect her to sign it and we had a republican governor, i would not be surprised if she signed it. but if people can have hope, the a set to connect the civil liberties union have promised to take them to court and issue an injunction before this actually becomes law. which will be six months after the governor passes it. do you see a future in which, you have heard in our report, talk of rolling back the constitutional right across the united states, the roe v wade decision. rolling back state— by—state roe v wade decision. rolling back state—by—state american women's constitutional right to abortion? do you see that is the direction of

travel? my representative said before i came on, the reason they're pushing you right now, i think there are five other states that are pushing for an abortion ban in order to get to the supreme court. it is happening because of the conservative justices on the supreme court. i think it is a very real fear, i think, court. i think it is a very real fear, ithink, i court. i think it is a very real fear, i think, i am fearful of it andi fear, i think, i am fearful of it and i think wejust fear, i think, i am fearful of it and i think we just have to trust thejudicial process. it and i think we just have to trust the judicial process. it will at least be three to five years before it happens, there a bill right now thatis it happens, there a bill right now that is sitting at the supreme court that is sitting at the supreme court that they have not picked up and it has been there for five years, they tried to ban common abortion procedure and was struck down and now it is at the supreme court level that's been five years. it will be a few years.

five of the world's largest technology companies have agreed to introduce new measures to help eliminate violent and terrorist content from the internet. world leaders and techology firms have gathered in paris for a summit called the christchurch call to action. in march, a gunman live—streamed the mosque attacks in new zealand, in which 51 people were killed. amazon, facebook, google, microsoft and twitter have agreed on a nine—point plan of action — including better detection of extremist content, greater transparency, and tighter terms of use. new zealand's prime minister jacinda ardern welcomed the measures and said this sort of summit was unprecedented. never before countries and tech companies come together in the wake never before have countries and tech companies come together in the wake of a horrific attack to commit to an action plan that will deliver, collaboratively, work and new technology though and new technology built

to make our communities, ultimately, safer. and already today, we'll have seen some first steps in response to the christchurch call. facebook has made his start with changes to the community rules facebook has made a start with changes to the community rules around live streaming and as i say, this is the first step as we look forward to further work to stop social media being perverted as a tool for terrorists and presenting it instead as a means for individuals and communities to commute. and communities to connect. the host of the summit, president macron explained the next steps after the summit. it is an appeal to governments social media and internet tech companies but also how civil societies expect tangible results and there will be a follow—up meeting in june and and there will be a follow—up meeting injune and this is an initiative that was undertaken several months ago byjordan, who

was president here as well. and we will be meeting again and set up a joint secretary with many representatives and there will be the summitand representatives and there will be the summit and during which, we hope to adopt a charter. theresa may also attended the summit in paris. she called the attack in new zealand a "stark reminder" to governments and tech companies that more needed to be done to tackle extreme content online. one notable absence from the meeting in paris was the united states — and theresa may was asked whether this meant today's meeting was pointless. now we've had governments around the road sitting around the table but obviously, clearly, this is an issue. the elimination of terrorist content online is an issue that affects governments around the whole world. what the summit has done has brought together governments and tech companies recognising that although some work has already done and the uk has been leading in much of this work to remove terrorist environment, extremist content

online, what happened from when we saw those terrible attacks in christchurch and the use of the video after that attack spreading the video of that attack, that was a stark reminder that there is more that we needed to do. what has come today is the christchurch call for action. i've been very pleased to sign up for that and they'll be governments and tech companies around the world working together so that we can remove terrorist content more quickly and that we can ensure that we make the internet a safe place for people to be. let's speak now to abhilash nair, a senior lecturer in internet law at the aston business school. thank you so much for talking to us. let's pick up the question that was put to theresa may. these companies are american companies. the us government missing today in paris. does that matter? it does matter. seeing in the news report, they said they would not be part of this initiative. and part of the reason why they are taking that stance is

the right to free speech in the us which goes broader than what we have here in the uk. and a lot of these companies are actually based in the united states. it is not really surprising that the us have decided not to be a part of this initiative, he goes back to the year 2000 and we are thinking about the cybercrime convention and there was some protocol and that hate speech and xenophobia the united states declined tojoin xenophobia the united states declined to join that and as a result, is relegated as, it is not surprising that the us have decided not to be a part of this initiative. iam not to be a part of this initiative. i am sorry, and yet, the big companies were there. the giants turned up. and they signed up and how meaningful and effective will that be? it is about wait and see, these companies operate outside and

have a huge customer base outside the us and they are always showing willingness to work with the uk in particular. i am optimistic in terms of them coming together and taking steps to counter extremist content. we need to bear in mind that a lot of the illegal regimes that cover liability for platforms predate some of these companies, the e—commerce directed in the eu which sets out obligations and platforms goes back to the year 2000 and they have had quite an easy ride for the last 20 yea rs quite an easy ride for the last 20 years but the liability for content and to host it on the platform and i am not saying that they should be posing proactive obligations to monitor them, but given how big they are and how much money they make,

given how monetized their business model. they can do a lot more than what they have done so far in that sense, it is actually a step that they have come together to do what they have come together to do what they have come together to do what they have agreed to do. the christ church to action, and we all remember that hideous attack and new zealand which resulted in 51 deaths, some of them were live streamed. is the action today going to make that impossible in the future?” the action today going to make that impossible in the future? i don't know is the other stance, i don't know is the other stance, i don't know on that side of things but to check on live streams into purge live streaming of illegal activities, but identifying and removing illegal content, they have usedit removing illegal content, they have used it for a while, actually. the

forum of counterterrorism last year, they fight a lot of illegal content on the internet by doing that intervention. the downside of that is, they're not as clever as people think that they are, they cannot differentiate between contacts. so it can be quite innocent and itself but at the same time, it can be a particular classed does terrorist material and it can't always differentiate this. thank you so much forjoining us. the united states has ordered the departure, of non—emergency government staff, from iraq. a us aircraft carrier has already been sent to the region, to counter what it says is the threat, from iranian—backed forces. despite the increasing tension,

both the us and iran deny they're seeking conflict. staff at the embassy in baghdad and the consulate in irbil have been told to leave as soon as possible on commercial transport. many women suffer from sickness during pregnancy — but for around one in a hundred it's much, much worse. they suffer from what's called hyperemesis gravidarum which causes severe nausea and vomiting, in some cases up to fifty times a day. you may remember that the duchess of cambridge had the condition. according to the nhs around 15,000 women a year seek hospital treatment. bbc correspondent daniela relph — who also had the condition — is taking part in medical research to find out what causes it. my name's laura. i'm 15 weeks and five days pregnant. laura anderson has kept a video diary of her pregnancy. she's had drastic weight loss and constant vomiting. this is the harsh reality of extreme sickness in pregnancy. i'm so cold.

also known as hg, hyperemesis gravidarum. i still can't eat, and i can't drink. and i'm hungry, and i'm stressed, and i can't sleep. any form or level of this horrible illness just makes you a complete shadow of who you were. the bbc has carried out its own research on the impact of this condition. more than 5000 women shared their experiences. a third said their sickness had been so bad it left them with suicidal thoughts. around three quarters developed long—term physical and mental health problems. more than half said they considered terminating a pregnancy. termination was the only option for this woman. it's a secret she wants to keep, so we've not identified her. she suffered extreme sickness in her previous pregnancies and just

couldn't cope with the mental and physical stress again. so we made the appointment to terminate. god, that's a horrid word. so, we made that appointment, and my husband and i went along, and it was so strange. she sobs. they understood why. it wasn't that it was an unwanted baby. it was just impossible. we couldn't do it. we went back and 15 minutes later it was all done. that's... 15 minutes is nothing. it was the right decision. but it still doesn't make it a nice decision to make. i too had the condition during pregnancy, and now i'm one of the first women to take part in the largest ever study to find out why.

led by guy's and st thomas's hospitals in london, it will look for genetic links between women who have suffered severely. well, firstly i hope we will develop markers that will let us predict who will have severe disease, and secondly, we can develop new treatments, so hopefully there won't be women with severe disease because we can control it. of course, the treatments have to be safe for the unborn baby as well as for the mother. these are my ondansetron, i take... laura is now halfway through her pregnancy and trying to find medication to manage her sickness. she is determined to get through it. and when that baby is born i will spend the rest of my life trying to bring awareness to this awful illness. that was laura anderson ending that report by daniella relph. and for details of organisations which offer advice and support with pregnancy related issues, go online to bbc dot co dot uk

forward slash actionline. many men are well used to chatting with 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 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. and you can see that documentary ‘a royal team talk: tackling mental health‘ on sunday evening at 10.30 on bbc one, and later,on the iplayer. a nepalese climber has reached the summit of everest for the twenty—third time, breaking his own record for the number of ascents of the world's highest peak. kami rita sherpa, who is forty nine,

was accompanying an indian team. kami belongs to the sherpa community, whose members carry equipment, guide and protect mountaineers. speaking to the bbc before his ascent, kami said he would like to celebrate a "silver festival" by climbing the himalayan mountain twenty five times. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. good evening. sunny skies once again for tomorrow and there will be a start of some subtle changes, in fa ct start of some subtle changes, in fact southern west of scotland should see an isolated shower and some low cloud on the eastern coast. a fog patch around in a bit of a fresh night with temperatures dropping back into mid—single figures as we start tomorrow morning. once again, the sun quickly getting going. the changes comes courtesy of a slight southeast of the breeze, nothing too substantial to bring in low clouds and cloud in

the far west of scotland and will also be dry and the sun he started in east anglia, southern england, there could be a bit more cloud building up here and there. nothing too substantial, still some good sunny spells but temperatures still above with a few spots, nearly close to 20 degrees of not hiring some shelter and western areas, but stood development of friday but not only cooler but cloudier by the chance of a few showers.

hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source. the us state of alabama — passes a bill — that would outlaw nearly all abortions. it would become america's strictest abortion legislation ever passed — banning terminations, even in cases of rape or incest. we'll explain what could happen next. they feel that now it has linked to the right and become more conservative under trump, they had a chance of doing something more far—reaching across this country in terms of overturning abortion rights. new zealand's prime minister heads up a summit in paris — aimed at curbing extremist content online after march's mosque attacks.
