good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today: a massive shake up of the probation system — the government goes back on privatising parts of the service after serious failings were identified. theresa may prepares to meet senior conservative mps who are demanding a firm date for her departure from downing street. i'm sweating. our conversation on the menopause continues. this morning the reality of going through it aged just 15. thinking that i'm never going to be

able to have children, it — itjust shocks you so hard. it's unbelievable. good morning. the rising cost of cash. new research says free cash machines are disappearing fastest from the areas they're needed the most. good morning. it's derby day after a stunning comeback. it's derby day after a stunning comeback. it was a right old ding—dong in the championship playoff semi—final between leeds united and derby county. there were six goals and two sending offs as the rams boss frank lampard guided his side to wembley. good morning, we start off with a sunny day but the day will include one or to showers. i'll tell you where in 15 minutes. it's thursday, 16 may. our top story: the supervision of all offenders in england and wales is being taken over by the government after a series of failings with the part—privatisation of the system.

the national probation service will take over the management of low and medium—risk cases, which were given to private providers five years ago. danny shaw has more. he promised it would transform rehabilitation for offenders. chris grayling was the architect of the biggest probation shake—up in decades, allowing private firms to supervise former prisoners, and people serving community sentences who pose a low or medium risk. but now the reforms are being scrapped. the nail in the coffin was a report from dame glenys stacey, the chief probation inspector. she said the molde —— model of part—privatisation was irredeemablely flawed. under the

new system, there'll be probation areas in ii sectors. new system, there'll be probation areas in 11 sectors. it was a mistake and chris grayling has to share responsibility for that. he thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. we pleaded with him not to do it or at least pilot some of the schemes through. he flatly refused and pushed it through to satisfy his own agenda and cost the taxpayers hundred of millions of pounds. the currentjustice secretary david gauke says it will be introduced across england this year and wales in 2021. theresa may will meet senior conservative mps today, who will demand she set a firm date for her departure from downing street. the prime minister is meeting the influential 1922 committee of tory backbenchers to discuss her future, as pressure grows for her to stand aside. our political correspondent, chris masonjoins us now from westminster.

—— chris, we've had meetings like this before, how significant is this one? cats are envious of the number of lives theresa may has. i've sat in this chair countless times and she is still there. the most senior conservative backbenchers are wanting to hear more detail from the prime minister about the time able around which she might stand down. they are pretty keen for her to be gone. we have two things in the diary that could push things along a bit. firstly, in a week's time, those european parliament elections where it's largely expected the

conservatives could get a real thrashing. we know the prime minister is hoping to get her brexit deal through parliament again. she is living out that cliche if you fail the first time, try, try, and try again. this is the fourth time. if she loses again, this could potentially finish off. but i've sat in this chairand potentially finish off. but i've sat in this chair and been proven wrong before. you might end up seeing it again, chris, thank you. labour says it would install solar panels on nearly two million homes to generate electricity, as part of a new energy policy. the party also plans to re—nationalise the uk's electricity and gas network, saying it would cut the amount paid to the current private sector owners. simon gompertz has more. labour's big increase on solar

panels would build on community projects like this in south london, promising lower bills. it means some kind of energy and clean. local backers like faye say the savings are winning over other residents. some people, full stop, "i just want to pay less. " if some people, full stop, "i just want to pay less." if they can also see that in the bill with the solar energy, well, how could they complain after that? labour says one million council and housing association homes would get the panels, saving £117 a year each on electricity bills, and there'd be interest—free loans an grants to help 750,000 other households install them. this is what labour wa nts install them. this is what labour wants its green energy policy to look like. it says that to get this done quickly across the country, that's one of the reasons it wants to re—nationalise the local grid and

the local industries distribution companies with the current owners, investors, probably getting back a lot less tha n investors, probably getting back a lot less than they think those businesses are worth. labour would pay for the grid by borrowing, but cut the amount in line with what it calls asset stripping in the private sector. but the national grid says labour's plans would delay investment and the government argues it would saddle taxpayers with debt. president trump has declared a national emergency to protect us computer networks from what he calls "foreign adversaries." the executive order bans american companies from using foreign telecoms that might pose a security risk. our north america correspondent peter bowes has more. another fight with china — a foreign adversary whose telecom giant could pose a national security threat to the us. in a statement from the white house there is no mention of

specific countries or companies, but it is clear the administration has huawei in its sights. the us will ban transactions posing an unacceptable risk with the president pledging to do whatever it takes to keep america safe and prosperous. this is a battle over new technology and security, on top of the trade war, which has escalated in recent days. chinese companies can be pressured by the chinese government and the communist party. the question is can customers of those companies around the world build their systems in a way that mitigates those risks or is itjust too much of a risk? that's really a technical question that will vary from one application to the next. the us commerce department has said american companies will be restricted from selling their technology to huawei, which it's concluded is engaged in activities that are contrary to us national security orforeign that are contrary to us national security or foreign policy interest. ina security or foreign policy interest. in a statement, the chinese company

said, "restricting huawei from doing business in the us will not make the us more secure or stronger. instead, this will only serve to limit the us to inferior, yet more expensive alternatives, eventually harming the interests of us companies and consumers." with interests of us companies and consumers. " with donald interests of us companies and consumers." with donald trump describing the impasse over trade walks as "a little —— talks as a "little squabble", this will test further deteriorating us—chinese relations. a house of lords committee has said construction of the hs2 high speed rail link should have begun in the north of england — where better rail infrastructure is needed most. the first phase is being built from london to birmingham, with the line eventually reaching manchester and leeds. the government says it disagrees with the findings. the world's first drugs designed to stop cancer cells becoming resistant to treatment could be available within the next decade, scientists have said. researchers from the institute for cancer research say

they could make cancer a ‘manageable' disease in the long term and more often curable. we now understand that cancers are continually evolving. it is a moving target. they don't stay still. they become resistant to therapy. we've begun to understand that in great detail. we're beginning now to apply these evolutionary principles of how cancers adapt and evolve, apply those to using existing drugs better and apply them to new cancers to block and overcome this evolutionary biology. the welfare of guests on tv shows is to be scrutinised by mps and regulators after the death of a man who appeared on thejeremy kyle show. the commons media select committee plans to investigate whether tv companies give guests enough support and media regulator ofcom is examining whether to update its code of conduct. itv has cancelled the daytime programme. how are you with heights? terrible.

really? no thanks. i'm not even that good on roller skaters. really? no thanks. i'm not even that good on roller skaterslj really? no thanks. i'm not even that good on roller skaters. i can't even look at my feet. have a look at this... two skyscraper window cleaners in oklahoma city might be thanking their lucky stars today. what?! they had a terrifying experience when their basket swung out of control while attached to the city's tallest building, the devon tower. no! no! please tell me they're all right. it's not known how the lift became loose but the workers managed to grab a rope and secure the basket which was swinging 50 floors above street level. it's going quite a pace as well, isn't it? yes! they're fine. thankfully, no injuries supported. but they did manage to smash a couple of windows along the way. don't blame them. like a fair ground ride. that is a seriously horribly stressful job. ride. that is a seriously horribly

stressfuljob. 11 minutes past 6, talking of stress. actually, this la st talking of stress. actually, this last couple of weeks we've seen so much given to us by football in terms of dramas, comebacks and it happened again last night. an incredible game. after the end of this season, derby, first seen under frank lampard, what a job he's done now! he's rather happy there. this was a story of an incredible comeback because never has a team lost the first leg at home and then gone away, and turned the tide around. not only that, derby were approaching 2—0 down. leeds united were daring to dream of wembley, until they fell apart, as derby county turned their championship semi—finalaround. six goals, two sendings—off and a stunning fight back see derby progress to the final showpiece against aston villa. of course, they'll line up against their old matejohn terry, on opposite sides at villa.

two—time champion maria sharapova has withdrawn from the forthcoming french open due to a long standing shoulder problem. the 32—year—old hasn't played since january and had an operation the next month. if it wasn't for ben bowns, great britain would have lost by more than 6—3 against the usa at ice hockey's world championship. the cardiff devils goalie saved 59 shots in a man of the match performance. and former formula one world champion fernando alonso walked away — wow, look at this — unhurt from this high—speed crash during practice for the indianapolis 500. carol is at primrose hill in london with a look at this morning's weather. with, i think, with, ithink, one with, i think, one of the best views of london that there is. good morning, carol. good morning, everyone. you're quite right. it is one of the six protected views of london, in london. we saw one yesterday in stjame's park. what a beautiful start to the day it is. it

is chilly if you're outside. yesterday's top temperature was spectacular for yesterday's top temperature was spectacularfor me. we reached yesterday's top temperature was spectacular for me. we reached 25.8 celsius in the highlands of scotland, making it the second time this year that we have reached that level. it also is the warmest day of the year so far in scotland. now, the forecast for today, well, it's going to be cooler today because it'll be a wee bit more cloudy eventually, but there will still be some sunshine to enjoy. first thing this morning we have mist and cloud around the north—east of scotland. that will lift. we have a few showers north—west ireland, which will eventually be confined to the outer hebrides. later, we will see more cloud come in off the north

—— north sea across the southern counties. we could still hit 20 or 21 in the north—west of scotland. so through this evening and overnight, while we still are going to have clear skies in the north, for the rest of the uk there will be a fair bit of cloud around and also some showery rain coming in as well. as a result, for most, it will not be as cold a night as last night. we should be frost—free. that leads us into tomorrow, tomorrow we're looking at the best of the sunshine across parts of north—west scotland and northern ireland. for the rest of us, cloudy, showery rain across england. temperatures down. then into the overnight period, well, you notice where the rain is coming in, across scotland and northern england in particular. quite a cloudy night as well. that does mean that it's not going to be as cold for some of

us, not lower than 11 degrees. not going to be as cold for some of us, not lowerthan 11 degrees. into the weekend, saturday a bit more u nsettled. the weekend, saturday a bit more unsettled. we're looking at some bright spells, and some showers, a fair bit of cloud around. on sunday, we're still not immune to some showers but it looks like a dryer day for most than we'll have on saturday. sally, and jon. you've got the whole place to yourself this morning! not quite, jon! you might be able to hear the people just over there!|j jon! you might be able to hear the people just over there! i thought you were in some exclusive park! wouldn't that be nice? it is her back garden! let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian's main story is about the major re—nationalisation of some probation services after what it calls disastrous reforms by former justice secretary chris grayling.

the mirror leads with reaction from the tv presenter jeremy kyle, whose show was axed after the death of a guest, with a friend describing him as heartbroken. the times has a story about new police powers, which mean drivers could be fined £100 for ignoring lane closures on smart motorways. there's the actress playing the part of camilla parker bowles in the new series queen made by netflix. and britain and the united states in a spat over iran. i think you meant the crown. sub- edited by sally on—air! and the express newspaper says a £75 million programme at the institute of cancer research is set to produce new drugs to beat cancer in a decade. it also features mick jagger who is pictured throwing a few familiar shapes after heart surgery. what have you got, ben?

he doesn't hang around, does he? you've been talking about hs2 this morning, the report looking at some of the concerns about cost overruns as always when we talk about infrastructure projects. in the times this morning they're talking about cutting the speed. you might know hs2 is about 2 big things, capacity, they can't run anymore trains on the current track so 1 proposal is hs2 means there will be more trains but also the benefit is it will get to birmingham, leeds or manchester quicker. a lot of controversy saying a way to bring down the cost would be to run the trains slower and therefore some suggesting defeating the whole object, and also terminating outside london at the vast redevelopment going on at all that common rather than going to some mainline stations like euston. also down the bottom, crossrail, like euston. also down the bottom, crossra il, staff like euston. also down the bottom, crossrail, staff paid £30 million per year just crossrail, staff paid £30 million per yearjust to crossrail, staff paid £30 million per year just to practise.

crossrail, staff paid £30 million per yearjust to practise. you will know that's already much later than planned, it was meant to open last year and now expected to open in 2021. cost rising every week that's not open and they're putting the cost at £30 million per year to get on top of that. expensive stuff! there's loads around in the football, i like this, manchester city so confident about next season, they play watford in the fa cup final on saturday, they have booked their hotels for the fa cup final and the league cup final. presumably they can cancel them ? and the league cup final. presumably they can cancel them? flexible rates! preparing for a line about elton john... rates! preparing for a line about eltonjohn... mrwatford. he can't be there sadly because he is playing a concert in denmark adheres to signs, elijah and zachary, eight and six, will lead troy deeney and co— out against manchester city. they are both good players apparently, really talented. jose mourinho has

had a swipe against manchester united. he isn't having a go at ole gunnar solskjaer, saying you become a puppet under the united board after a few months. this is my favourite, a feud weeks before the women's world cup, a team in the devonjunior and women's world cup, a team in the devon junior and minor league under 12s, when they formed four years ago there weren't any other teams to play and they joined there weren't any other teams to play and theyjoined a boys' league, they won the league and they also won the cup. they've done the double, and all girls team, they've done the double. that is fantastic! not long until the women's world cup. we will be there, can't wait. are you going? certainly am. are you going to book your hotel? yellow haven't booked it for this year!|j haven't booked it for this year!” think i might be! haven't booked it for this year!” thinki might be! have haven't booked it for this year!” think i might be! have you haven't booked it for this year!” thinki might be! have you read haven't booked it for this year!” think i might be! have you read the contract? you might do worse than this! another story about hotel

accommodation... that would be in budget! ben from london booked a trip to amsterdam, it was described ona trip to amsterdam, it was described on a website as clean in amsterdam with a private bathroom and he ended up with a private bathroom and he ended up in with a private bathroom and he ended upina with a private bathroom and he ended up in a lock—up on the side of a road, an old freight container and he was given a refund. that's considered trendy these days, isn't it? white slightly creepy? slightly, i would have hoped they would have put a door or a window in there. £100 per night! at the ryder cup, the open, so many needed to stay on site that they put loads of them there to sleep in at night. when i have seen them before they have windows so you can get some daylight! and a bit! a nice bit of shrubbery outside, pot plants, things like that! —— a bit. shrubbery outside, pot plants, things like that! -- a bit. that will be me at the world cup in three weeks' time!

we've been talking all week about the menopause this week, hugely successful it has been, lots of you have got in touch with us about it. for the vast majority of women, the menopause starts after the age of a5, but for one in every 10,000, symptoms can start before the age of 20. annabelle is 15. she's currently doing her gcses and going through the menopause. we've been to follow her search to find out why. i would draw my own face but i wouldn't actually give my face inside of it. i don't know what's inside of me right now. it's just a blank space. i'm never going to be able to have children. it'sjust... it shocks you so hard. it's unbelievable. literally so red! i am sweating!

i have daily hot flushes... oh my god, even my arms are red. my chest. 0h god, even my arms are red. my chest. oh my god! it just makes oh my god! itjust makes you feel, kind of, trap... it's horrible! lovely, thank you, darling. it's been monumental on my parents because they've obviously been wanting grandchildren. my wanting grandchildren. my mum was especially really disappointed. it was a dreadful shock and obviously we both had a cry. we won't be grandparents either, which isa shame, won't be grandparents either, which is a shame, but it's more about annabel really. today we're at the hospital at uch and we're just getting the results from my past tests from blood tests and my bone density scan, and we're hopefully going to find out why i've been diagnosed with early menopause.

it really frustrates me because it's really... inside your thinking, well, why me? reallyjust want to know why it's happened. i felt very know why it's happened. ifelt very alone. you have no—one to talk to. no—one else has it, so it's really hard at my age, yeah. when i was diagnosed i didn't know anything about it. for years i didn't actually know anybody that had the condition until i azeee last year. to go through that when you're still a child, still a teenager is actually really difficult. it was really brilliant to meet annabel and holly because i feel like girls, they need to speak about it instead of holding everything inside. there's no real reason of why i've

got it. it was really disappointing because it's frustrating. there's no real a nswer to because it's frustrating. there's no real answer to what's happening and it's just this whole big mystery of what's going on inside my body. i don't think i'll ever come to terms with it completely. just trying to make something a positive from a negative because there's always someone going through so much worse. to think there is someone going through something worse than me, it makes you feel more lucky than anything. so incredibly challenging for annabel and other girls in her situation. and we'd like to wish annabelle good luck as she's sitting her chemistry gcse today. later in the programme we will have a doctor on the sofa explaining why this might happen at such a young age. good luck, thanks for sharing your story with us! we will continue about our conversation throughout the programme today.

we'll have a film with emmerdale actor zoe henry, who spoke to us about playing a character going through the experience. we have been overwhelmed with the number of you getting in touch about our wake up to the menopause series. it's even been mentioned in parliament by mp rachel mclean. let's take a look. one of the causes close to my heart is the issue of the menopause and, mr deputy speaker, and if you've been watching bbc breakfast this week you know featuring it on menopause week, and i think it's brilliant that actually people are brave enough to talk about their experiences stop this is a taboo subject, we're starting to talk about it in this chamber and obviously cross—party about it in this chamber and obviously cross— party support, about it in this chamber and obviously cross—party support, and that's absolutely fantastic. so let's keep the conversation going, we certainly will throughout the day today. a to boo no longer, not here anyway! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you.

good morning from bbc london news. i'm alice salfield. the family of a woman killed by her ex have criticised the blase attitude of the child maintenance service after she had told it of his violent threats. emma day was murdered by mark morris after he waited for her outside the gates of their child's school in south london two years ago. a review into her death said the management of her case was inadequate. the government said it would consider the report's recommendations. london mayor sadiq khan's expressed anger that the government's rejected calls to create a new crime of islamophobia. the all—party parliamentary group on british muslims wanted to define it to tackle what it called a social evil. but a government spokesperson said the wording needed "further careful consideration" and had "not been broadly accepted".

islam is a religion that can stand up islam is a religion that can stand upfor islam is a religion that can stand up for itself, it doesn't need protection. we're not talking about a backdoor blasphemy law. we've seen i'm afraid in london, we've seen in christchurch, we seen around the world the consequences if islam is a beer is not tackled. a teenager who last year was sleeping rough on the streets of london has gained work with one of the capital's most famous designers. jamal reilly's talent for art was recognised by a camden—based charity. he was put in touch with ted baker's interior design team and impressed them so much he now has a full—time job working for them. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, i'm afraid we've got a few problems already this morning. the circle and hammersmith, and city lines have minor delays, and the dlr has severe delays. a part suspension on the bakerloo line as well. elsewhere, the marylebone road is down to one lane in both directions at park crescent for emergency gas work near great portland street station. westbound traffic is already tailing back through the euston underpass. in kilburn, brondesbury road is closed from salusbury road to donaldson road following a building fire, with delays to the north of queens park station.

hours. but he walks out of the car — unbelievably. he said afterwards, "well, the wall came too close, too quickly, and the car is a bit damages." luckily, he wanted.” quickly, and the car is a bit damages." luckily, he wanted. i hope he has good insurance. thank you very much. it is coming up to 6:40. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. what does the future hold for reality tv? x—factor, the apprentice and love island all pull in the viewing figures, but will they soon have to do more to safeguard people's welfare? the media regulator is looking at whether to update its code of conduct, after the death of a man who appeared on ‘thejeremy kyle show‘. itv has since cancelled the programme. we've been speaking to two contributors about their experience. they were telling me it was just going to be a funny reunion, you haven't seen your dad for 10 years andi haven't seen your dad for 10 years and i said, "yeah." i believe that's where my character assassination started. he absolutely tore into me. i was there for my reason, my

personal goals. i got what i needed but it wasn't always fully helped by the show as promised. the cameras go off, "thank you very much, there is your taxi." send you on your way. you might get an out of the blue phone call from one of the producers but normally it is to try to get you back. we're joined now by entertainment journalist, caroline frost. itv had to really drop this, didn't they? yes, i think so, now that the media, and the mps are looking at this. because this was the most serious of its kind and perhaps cynics would sayjeremy kyle has had a long, good run, they would get such press if they carried on

reco rd less. such press if they carried on recordless. —— regardless. such press if they carried on recordless. -- regardless. do you think is a moment where things have to change? i think things have to change because we have so much in the social media market, people really do get on social media and they call out bad behavour. and so i think that's calling everybody — all the producers, the tv stars, the co ntesta nts, the producers, the tv stars, the contestants, to the producers, the tv stars, the co ntesta nts, to accou nt the producers, the tv stars, the contestants, to account in a way we've not seen in previous years. i think these two things are happening. on the other side we have the pressure groups and the tv execs, the mps as i say, but also viewers are much more aware of what they're watching and the implications for people and individuals involved. they're able to, as you say, talk about it openly, publicly. yes. then it's picked up by the press. yes. obviously, it is terribly bad publicity for big tv companies like itv when tragic events like this happen. yes. do you think there will bea happen. yes. do you think there will be a move towards a more kinder television? tv execs have never been

put in the kind pool of people in the universe, however, it is all about how you're seen these days because of the pressures of social media, marketing and branding. even if in your soul you might not have those kind gestures, you certainly don't want to be part of the tv history. it is a workplace and any employer has a responsibility to a workforce that is creating a product. i think it's about information, opportunities, consent and general welfare. information, opportunities, consent and generalwelfare. how information, opportunities, consent and general welfare. how well protect road the participants —— how well protected a re protect road the participants —— how well protected are the participants? you hear the horror stories but hopefully they're the exception rather than the rule. i don't know if they'll be an official code of conduct going forward but following the tragedies on this scale, i think people going in and employers will

much more aware of the risks involved to preclude anymore more disasters. it is the jeremy kyle show that's on the front pages of the papers in light of the tragic events of this week. there are so many problems like this out there? they're also cheap tele. for years we had the high aspirational dramas, but with trends here and social media and people participanting, eve ryo ne media and people participanting, everyone wants to be part of it. it's good fun. it should be. i don't wa nt to it's good fun. it should be. i don't want to be part of some movement of no many —— no more strangers in the street but only a crop of tv stars. it's about knowing what's involved. i want to stress it has to be up to the individuals involved and whether will going on the show like this be the best thing for you and your life. how can you know that? you can

prepare people and ask what the impact will be on your life but nobody will know what the impact will be on their life until you've been through it and how would you know what it's like to be famous until you're famous? an know what it's like to be famous untilyou're famous? an unknown unknown. we've had the employers who book them, the psychiatrists, we've had people taste fame in the past, and they've been in the public eye. i guess it's a lot of information plus people having great support networks around them. and just having more information and really, really taking time and notjust kind of going for that spotlight and those 15 minutes of fame, because we know that can last a bit longer and not be all positive. carol is at primrose hill in london with a look at this morning's weather. good morning! beautiful on primrose

hill. it used to be owned by eton couege hill. it used to be owned by eton college and was bought in 1841 to give north london more open recreational space stopper you can see what a stunning view it is. 67.7 metres, 219 feet, above sea level and the trees are kept low not to obscure the view. it is one of six protected views in london. we saw another one yesterday in st james' park. a chilly start to the day but temperatures will pick up rapidly in the sun and yesterday, talking of sun, 26 degrees in the highlands at kinloch you. it is the second time this year somewhere in the uk has reached that value. today it will feel cooler in the breeze, a noticeable east, north—easterly breeze but still sunny spells around. first thing this morning, low cloud, mist and fog in the far

north—east of scotland. showers in the outer hebrides and the west of northern ireland, eventually becoming confined to the outer hebrides. for the rest of the uk, a dry start with sunshine but the sunshine will be hazy in the west at times and through the afternoon we will see cloud coming from the northsea across parts of england and wales. temperatures widely in the mid to high teens, but still in scotland, 20 or 21, cooler on the coast and if you're exposed to the breeze. through the evening and overnight, we hang on to clear skies in scotland and northern ireland and cloud and showery rain in england and wales. as a result, not as cold and wales. as a result, not as cold a night. tomorrow, north—west scotla nd a night. tomorrow, north—west scotland and northern ireland will hang onto the lion's share of the sunshine. for the rest of the uk, more cloud and a band of showery rain spreading from the east to the west across england and wales and we'll have that into eastern

scotla nd we'll have that into eastern scotland later in the day. temperatures down on what we are expecting today. into the evening and overnight. , more rain coming in across scotland and northern england. for southern england, wales and northern ireland, more cloud around. resulted league, overnight temperatures only falling to eight or11. temperatures only falling to eight or 11. saturday remains unsettled, a lot more cloud around. some showers, if you bright spells with temperatures still lower but on sunday, things will start to perk up. still a fuchsia around but the temperatures will start to rise and a bit more in the way of sunshine. over the next few days there's something for everyone. that's what we like to hear, always bringing the sunshine! can you find a free cash machine when you need one? always frustrating when you have to pay a bit extra!

new research says the areas that need them most are most likely to lose them. ben is looking at why. good morning. a slightly weird conundrum. yes, this new report looks at where cash machines are opening and closing and whether they're free to use, or will charge you a fee. this is important. a recent government review found that around eight million adults across the uk wouldn't be able to cope without using cash, more than one in six of us. despite that around 2,600 free cash machines were removed last year, that's the first fall in the numbers since records began in 1998. now this report looked at where they were closing in bristol — it's a bristol university study — and it found something very interesting. two thirds of the free cash machines that closed were in areas that are more deprived in the city. let's get more on this with one of the authors of the report, dr daniel tischer. good morning. this is interesting because you've been looking at where these machines have opened and

closed, and we're talking about why it in deprived areas they stand to lose the most. what is the correlation? we're not entirely sure as to why there's a connection but what we have witnessed is some parts of the city, where you have older communities or people earning less money appear to be affected by this more so than the middle classes where there is relatively good coverage. we've observed this change over the last six months and the worrying picture is that this is not over yet, and there will be further changes to the infrastructure and there will be more cash in the future charging people for their money. we are kind of trying to figure out where this leaves us as a society and the impact on communities stopping talking about the impact, it is those that need it the impact, it is those that need it the most are most likely to lose those free cash machines. why are some people needing them more than

others? some people need it to manage their finances, other older people might not have the right bank accou nts people might not have the right bank accounts for the payments. there's a number of different reasons as to why people are still using cash. it's notjust the 8 million using cash, they are the ones dependent on cash stopping most people in the uk still use cash. the idea of a cashless society is a future projection which might not actually ever happen. the cash machine providers and say it costs money to put in the machines, and taint them and keep them stocked with cash, someone has to pay. isn't itfair with cash, someone has to pay. isn't it fair there's a charge in remote areas? this is in cities, not remote areas. the city is catered for through the link atm system operating all the cashpoints in the uk. what we are seeing is private companies running many of the cashpoints in the uk now

introducing a charge which is £1, let's say, four times what they previously got through the linked system. they‘ re previously got through the linked system. they're not talking about covering their costs, they are increasing their income. you say it's not necessarily generational, but there are more people —— certain people likely to go cashless and i imagine that driven by technology, paying with your phone and things like that. that's great when the technology works, but as we saw last year with the visa system breaking down, it causes chaos in western europe and this makes it more attractive for people to interfere with our digital systems. we probably still need some kind of backup plan at the very least or we might want to retain some cash payments even if it is to buy a point of melt or some eggs at a

corner shop nearby dashed point of milk. good to see we will get results from thomas cook inafew we will get results from thomas cook in a few minutes just after 7am. this morning, as part of our waking up to the menopause week, we've been talking about early menopause and its impact on younger women, an issue recently highlighted on itv soap emmerdale. village vet rhona is dealing with early menopause following a hysterectomy. actor zoe henry who plays her has been to meet two women who have had similar experiences. let's take a look. hello. hello. hello, girls. i'm zoe. welcome to emmerdale. welcome to emmerdale. welcome to emmerdale. welcome to bob's cafe. i'm sure you're aware we've been running for

a few months a storyline about rona having early menopause. david has got the wrong idea. i can't do anything right, can i? all! got the wrong idea. i can't do anything right, can i? all i want to do is put a smile on yourface anything right, can i? all i want to do is put a smile on your face and i'm accused of all sorts. what did you expect, i feel humiliated. i'm accused of all sorts. what did you expect, ifeel humiliated. can you expect, ifeel humiliated. can you hear yourself, i wanted to buy a present you like, that's it. whatever the intentions are you think is all in your head. i know girls know a bit about that so do you want to kick off? i was diagnosed three years ago with breast—cancer and at the time i guess i wasn't aware of the chances that i might be having to face in early menopause —— challenges. just over 3.5 years ago now i had a hysterectomy, ovaries removed, i was only 30 at the time. six months later i crashed into a surgical menopause, i woke up one morning, i walsh shaking all over, nauseous, just panicking, i didn't know what was happening to me.”

just panicking, i didn't know what was happening to me. i have put on quite a lot of weight so i guess it's also, kind of, for me a feeling to do with your body and that it doesn't feel like me anymore. you've changed. i've been waking up in the night went through with sweat and panicky. looking back on it it was a panicky. looking back on it it was a panic attack, never had one before but i was having them and didn't know why. terrifying. i started to isolate myself. none of your peers are going through it at the same time as you. you normally lean on your friends, time as you. you normally lean on yourfriends, don't you, your gang, yourfriends, don't you, your gang, your tribe. although you wouldn't wish it on anybody you can't help but feel envious seeing everybody that doesn't have to cope.” but feel envious seeing everybody that doesn't have to cope. i think that's been the worst side of it, the emotional rollercoaster. yes, i think it has. like, i do find that

incredibly hard to deal with. and i do cry quite a lot. cute tissue! no, joking! when we talked about doing this story i'm sure it hadn't been covered before, i'm clearly older than u2, but a younger woman or a woman below average having the menopause. are we telling it right? it is such a relief. if people are armed with the right information, everything we have gone through, many of this can be avoided. zoe henry with her guests and talking to us this morning. thank you to them and for you for sharing your stories this week. we will hear later from a 15—year—old named annabelle, she is going through the menopause and she will tell us what it means to her as well. our wake up to the menopause series will continue for the rest

of the week here on breakfast. you can join the conversation on social media using the #bbcmenopause. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. the family of a woman killed by her ex have criticised the blase attitude of the child maintenance service after she had told it of his violent threats. emma day was murdered by mark morris after he waited for her outside the gates of their child's school in south london two years ago. a review into her death said the management of her case was inadequate. the government said it would consider the report's recommendations. the mayor of london has expressed anger after the government rejected a definition of islamophobia created by a cross party group of mps. the all—party parliamentary group on british muslims wanted to define it to tackle what it called a social evil.

but a government spokesperson said the wording needed further careful consideration and had not been broadly accepted. mps will debate the definition in parliament on thursday. a teenager who last year was sleeping rough on the streets of london has gained work with one of the capital's most famous designers. jamal reilly was put in touch with ted baker's interior design team by a charity and now has a full time job working for them. you do not feel like you're less than what you are, and also understand if there's anything you wa nt to understand if there's anything you want to succeed out in life you can a lwa ys want to succeed out in life you can always get their just through want to succeed out in life you can always get theirjust through sheer will and strength. i can pretty much get through anything. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes i'm afraid we've got a few problems alrady this morning, the bakerloo line has no service between paddington and harrow & wealdstone following a signal failure and the dlr has severe delays. elsewhere, the marylebone road is down to one lane in both directions at park crescent for emergency gas work near great portland street station. westbound traffic is already tailing back through the euston underpass.

and in kilburn, brondesbury road is closed from salusbury road to donaldson road following a building fire, with delays to the north of queens park station. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday we got to nearly 21 degrees celsius in the capital, but today, and particularly, tomorrow, it's going to feel cooler once more, and there will be more cloud around as well. still plenty of sunshine this amorning. it's a nice, sunny start to the day. temperatures generally mid—single figures, so quite a cool one too. we'll keep the sunshine through the morning and then into the afternoon, more cloud pushing in from the east. a fairly brisk north—easterly wind and it will keep cool in exposure, top temperatures this time only between 16 and 18 degrees celsius. through this evening and overnight we're going to see more cloud increase from the east and there could outbreaks of light, patchy rain and drizzle into tomorrow morning as well. overnight lows between seven and nine degress celsius. the rain will be on and off through the day

but it will tend to be quite light, not very persistent at all. temperatures tomorrow only at 14 or 15 degrees celsius, so distinctively cooler. we still have that north—easterly breeze, but the wind will lighten over the weekend, one or two showers. looking warmer, with more sunshine on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now it's back to sally and jon. bye for now. having anxiety is probably one of the most lonely, most isolating things to v thirty years ago, i had a period of psychosis and i lost my mind. you can't stop your feelings spiralling downwards and

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today: a massive shake up of the probation system — the supervision of thousands of offenders is brought back under government control after serious failings were identified. theresa may prepares to meet senior conservative mps who are demanding a firm date for her departure from downing street. i'm sweating. our conversation on the menopause continues. this morning, the reality of going through it aged just 15. thinking that i'm never going to be able to have children. it... it just shocks you so hard. it's unbelievable. good morning, a workplace for everyone. why some of the largest

companies are making work, work, for people with disabilities. it's derby day after another crazy footballing comeback. frank lampard's derby, come from 2 goals down, to stun leeds and reach the championship play off final. good morning, from primrose hill in london. yesterday, the top temperature was 26 celsius. we won't see much of that over the weekend. temperatures are going down but today, after a chilly start, a lot of sunshine but cloud building as we go through the day. i'll have more in15 go through the day. i'll have more in 15 minutes. good morning, it is thursday, 16 may. our top story: the supervision of all offenders in england and wales is being taken over by the government after a series of failings with the part—privatisation of the system. the national probation service will take over the management of low and medium—risk cases, which were given to private providers five years ago. danny shaw has more. he promised it would transform

rehabilitation for offenders. chris grayling was the architect of the biggest probation shake—up in decades, allowing private firms to supervise former prisoners and people serving community sentences, who pose a low or medium risk. but now the reforms are being scrapped. the nail in the coffin was a report from dame glenys stacey — the chief probation inspector. she said the model of part—privatisation was irredeemably flawed and people would be safe we are the public sector in charge. under the new system, all will be —— all offenders will be monitored by the service based in 11 regions. unpaid work and drug misuse programmes will be available to problem. but there'll be no element of grayling's he thought it was the greatest thing since slice bread. we

pleaded with him not to do it or at least pilot some of the schemes first but he pushed through it, trying to satisfy his own political agenda and it's trying to satisfy his own political agenda and its cost the taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds. david gauke says the new public system will increase public safety. it'll be introduced in wale this year and across england in 2021. let's say at number 10 downing street because theresa may will meet senior conservative mps today, who will demand she set a firm date for her departure from downing street. the prime minister is meeting the influential 1922 committee of tory backbenchers to discuss her future, as pressure grows for her to stand aside. our political correspondent, chris masonjoins us now from westminster. for give me, chris, have we said this before? laughs yes, sally, you make a fair point. it isa yes, sally, you make a fair point. it is a reasonable critique when you talk to people like me, that ijust drone on about brexit and say the same thing over and over again, or

we talk about the prime minister and people pompously say, "oh, she's not got long left", and a year later, we're kind of saying the same thing. it is why i thought i would reach out this morning to the downing street cat, larry, to get his political i will sis. even cats on enviously at theresa may because of the number of lives she's had politically. but i think we're reaching the end game for this prime minister. these senior backbenchers she's meeting today want her to be more explicit about when she might leave. there is talk they want her to go by the time westminster packs up to go by the time westminster packs upfor to go by the time westminster packs up for the summer break which is the end ofjuly. so she would have to announce her departure pretty soon. there are two things in the timetable that could speed things along, firstly, those european

elections taking place today. there is widespread speculation the conservatives could get a real stuffing. then, there is speculation she is planning on bringing the brexit plan back through. she's trying that old cliche, if at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again — a fourth attempt. the expectation, again, is she won't succeed. put those two things together and maybe now is the time she will go. but i've sat in this chair before and i've been proven wrong. lovely to talk to you, chris. we'll wait and see. he's never been wrong. at one point he has to be right. labor says it will install solar

panels on more than two million homes. our reporter has more. labour's big increase in solar panels would build on community projects like this in south london, powering the lifts and communal lights ina powering the lifts and communal lights in a block of flights, promising lower —— lights, promising lower builds. local backers like fay, say it is winning over other residents. some people, full stop, "i just want to pay less." if they can also see that in the bill, with the solar energy, well, how could they complain after that? labour says one million council and housing association homes would get the panels, saving £117 a year each on electricity bills, and there'd be interest—free loans and grants to help 750,000 other households install them. so this is what labour wa nts

install them. so this is what labour wants its green energy policy to look like. and it says that to get this done quickly across the country, that's one of the reasons it wants to re—nationalise the national grid and the local electricity distribution companies with the current owners—investors probably getting back a lot less than they think those businesses are worth. labour would pay for the grid by borrowing but cut the amount in line with what it calls asset stripping in the private sector. but the national grid says labour's plans would delay investment and the government argues that re—nationalisation would saddle taxpayers with debt. theworld's first drugs designed to stop cancer cells becoming resistant to treatment could be available within the next decade, say scientists, making cancer a manageable disease in the long—term and more often curable. we now

understand that cancers continue evolve. it is a moving target. they don't stay still. they become resista nt to don't stay still. they become resistant to therapy. we've begun to understand that in great detail. we're beginning to apply these evolutionary principles of how cancers adapt and evolve, apply those to using existing drugs better and to design new classes of drugs that will block and overcome this evolutionary biology. jervis —— jeremy kyle jervis ——jeremy kyle is jervis —— jeremy kyle is said to

jervis ——jeremy kyle is said to be devastated at the cancellation of his tv show and the death of a guest. you're watching breakfast on bbc. two skyscraper window cleaners in oklahoma city might be thanking their lucky stars today. watch there —— this. watch there -- this. they're inside that swinging basket at the devon tower, the tallest building in oklahoma. look at that, they're swinging around! unbelievable, they we re swinging around! unbelievable, they were able to grab a rope. a couple of windows got smashed but everyone was ok. gosh, it is the speed it's blowning around as well. they're not going to be get into trouble for those smashed windows, are they? do you think they got a selfie at the

time? makes me feel sea-sick watching it. apologies if anyone has vertigo watching that. grim. last year, more than 10,000 new parents paid to freeze part of their child's umbilical cord. that's according to data given to bbc yorkshire from the human tissue authority. the cord blood, which is rich in stem cells, can be used later in life to treat various conditions including some blood cancers. but as private storage has increased, donations to charity have gone down. natalie wright has been to find out more. we'll get the baby to hold it. like every parent, rosaira tormey from sheffield wants to give her children the best start in life. she's one of a growing number of parents who've chosen to pay their baby's umbilical cord blood and tissue.” chosen to pay their baby's umbilical cord blood and tissue. i have no control over whether i've passed on a faulty gene to them. i feel like i

have a little bit of control now if something was to happen, which hopefully it won't, that we have something in place in case — in case they do need it. the blood from the umbilical cord, which is rich in stem cells, is usually thrown away after birth. but, if it can be collected, those stem cells to be stored, and stem cells have been proven to help treat some blood cancers and genetic diseases. there are maybe 200,000 cases that have been cured by using cord blood. there's probably 20,000 clinical trials going on at the moment, everything from autism to parkinson's. in 2014, the number of umbilical blood cord samples processed privately in the uk was just over 6,000. by 2018, this had risen to almost 12,000, an increase

of 90%. previously, the royal couege of 90%. previously, the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists1 and the royal couege gynaecologists1 and the royal college of midwives are currently revising their positions. we'rejoined by professor robert wynn, who is a consultant paediatric haematologist, and neenah maitland, who became a cord collector for the anthony nolan foundation after donating her first child's umbilical cord to the charity. professor wyn, if we could start with you, why should people consider donating umbilical boards at birth? thank you for asking me. i'm a haematologist and i work at the royal children's hospital bone morrow transplant programme. i look after many sick children with leukaemia and other blood disorders where children can't maintain blood. we get rid of the child's bone morrow and replace it with the healthy bone morrow. what we need in

the bone morrow from the donor is bloods stem cells that can make bloods stem cells that can make blood in the patient. and a newborn ba by‘s cord blood blood in the patient. and a newborn baby's cord blood is very much like a bone morrow. it so we can use cord blood as a source of blood stem cells for a child with either leukaemia orfor a cells for a child with either leukaemia or for a genetic cells for a child with either leukaemia orfor a genetic disease with the blood. for many children i look after, we will have saved their lives using cord blood as a donor source. there are advantages so cord blood, because when i have a child needing a transplant, firstly, it is immediately available. many women like neena have donated their corblood to the banks and we can access the blood immediately because they're frozen. in many ways it is better than bone morrow, notjust because of ease of access but in some ways it works better to get rid of leukaemia and works better to engraft and make bloods in the patient. and... sorry, just explain

your situation. how did you come to donate? when i first donated with my first daughter and knew about the charity, anthony nolan charity, what they do is collect cord blood from they do is collect cord blood from the ten ta, so i sign —— placenta, so the ten ta, so i sign —— placenta, soi the ten ta, so i sign —— placenta, so i signed up to the charity and they came and collected my blood. so once you knew you were pregnant you signed up? yes, absolutely. they're in four hospitals, stmary's kings in london and in man chest err. you've just given birth, and then what happens? no-one comes in. what happens? no-one comes in. what happens is once you've delivered the placenta, the mid—wife will put it ina box placenta, the mid—wife will put it in a box that's left in the room and pass it to a cord blood collector who is outside and they take it away

to the lab to get the corblood out of it. why don't more hospitals offer the chance to donate? that charities generate public banks from these specific hospitals. they have chosen these in areas of high ethnic diversity so the core blood bank stem cell core better represents the ethnic mix of the population than the adult donor pool. it is important for us when we hear having these conversations to distinguish a public bank which is taken in particular hospitals, so women who want to donate to these public banks can only do so if there delivering in one or two of these institutions because they've set up the infrastructure and facilities can do it and the court blood is taken ina can do it and the court blood is taken in a very standardised manner. and yet we're seeing more and people opting for the private collection of cord blood to keep for their own

child's future. it is the decision of the family at the end of the day. i wanted to donate so it could go into a i wanted to donate so it could go intoa bank i wanted to donate so it could go into a bank where anyone could use it. it is something i really believe in. are you convinced this really is the future, this will really work? there are some people who are sceptical but don't think it is as valuable as others. it's a very important question. cord blood has a very important place in my practice for treating children with leukaemia but we would use the public bank sells. when we come to private banking and people using cord blood for their own child, this is part of the future of stem cell medicine. cord blood definitely has properties different to adult blood and it is possible those properties may help the use of cord blood to treat other diseases. in manchester, because of preliminary evidence from the states that cord blood helps children with/

to recover, children who have had a stroke or cerebral palsy, if they get a transplant they recover better. in manchester, we are in the final process of repairing a trial where we treat children with autism with a cord blood because there is evidence the cord blood and its properties might help children in those situations. but this is different than for leukaemia and for other diseases and blood we run a transplant for where we would not use a privately banked cord blood. we use only quality assured from public banks either by the nolan or the blood service. thank you both very much indeed forjoining us this morning. carol is at primrose hill in london with a look at this morning's weather. it is looking glorious. good morning! good morning. it certainly is. if i get out of the way, you can see the view much better. lovely view right across

london. there are 13 protected views in london and two of those are from primrose hill. it is quite hazy, so you might not be able to see them stopping one is of the palace of the palace of westminster, one is st paul's cathedral. whatever way you look at it it is stunning. 6.7 metres above sea level dashed 67 bucking it isa it is a chilly start to the day—to—day and yesterday the top temperature was in kinloch you in the highlands at 26 celsius. the second time this year we have seen a value that high. the warmest day of the year so far in scotland obviously. today we have cooler conditions in the breeze. we have a noticeable breeze but some sunshine to enjoy, but hazy in the west. this morning we have showers in the outer hebrides and the west of northern

ireland. we've got some haar coming in across the north—east of scotland but that will give way to sunny skies, many starting with sunshine but through the day, or cloud coming in across england and wales from the northsea. temperatures down on yesterday, up to the high teens but we could still get to 20 or 21 in the sunshine in north scotland. cooler along the coasts. through the evening and overnight we hang onto clear skies in northern scotland and also northern ireland. for the rest of us, fairly cloudy and we'll start to showers coming our way so a result for most. not a particularly cold night. tomorrow, northern ireland and north—west scotland see the lion's share of the sunshine. for the rest, bright and sunny skies at times but a fair bit of and also showery rain on the east to the west across england and wales and later in the day we'll see some of that in

eastern scotland as well. temperature—wise, down on what we're looking at again today. through friday evening and overnight, we expect some rain in the northern half of the country but for the southern half, mostly dry, fairly cloudy and again, not a particularly cold night. that sets us up for the weekend. on saturday, there will be more cloud around and also some showers, you could get one almost anywhere. temperatures disappointing. on sunday, more dry weather around. we can't rule out showers, there will still be some but also brighter skies and temperatures starting to recover. we could get to 20 in london. thank you very much indeed for now, carol. it looks lovely! thomas cook has just published their half—year results, ben? they are telling us about how they have done given the uncertainty in the market and the headline figure isn't good, they

have reported a loss of £1.45 billion. a huge loss and they have blamed that on a number of things but in the statement we've had from the chief executive, " there is little doubt the brexit process has led many customers to delay their holiday plans this summer". as a result the firm has had to think about how it gets people on its planes and in its hotels around the world and they've had to cut their prices and spend more on advertising. more staying at home, so if bookings for big holiday firms like this leading to the loss. he's talked about it being a very tough market and they've had to take out a bank facility, essentially a loan to get them through the winter. a £300 million to get them through 2019/2020. clearly a lot of things for them to content with right now. they've already been closing stores on high streets as well to try to

save some money, but given more of us are staying at home this year, that's meant their bottom line has suffered so the headline figure, £1.45 billion loss. does this mean cheap holidays at the last minute we've talked about that on the programme, there are deals for places we have stayed away from. spain and france doing well. reliable old favourites. may be further afield, turkey, italy, greece, good offers so worth shopping around. good to know! may be flying less is a good thing from another point of view... the environment. from planting more tress to flying less, there's no shortage of ideas when it comes to tackling climate change. labour's plan involves grants for millions of solar panels and re—nationalising the uk's energy network. rebecca long—bailey, the shadow business secretary, is here to tell us more. good morning to you. good morning. what is this about? we know we've got a climate emergency and we have

to tackle climate change and u nfortu nately we' re to tackle climate change and unfortunately we're not going far enough. we have a government that's pulled the rug from under the solar industry, committed to fracking, which flies in the face of climate change and we know the science is clear, the intimate governmental panel on climate change says we need to reach net zero by 2050 and to do that we have to take radical action. how will renationalise in reduce emissions? we need to bring the national grid and district operators into public ownership and we need to do that because consumers are really angry they've been ripped off for some time. we know companies have been paying £12 billion in dividends at the same time as consumer bills are rising and they've not been investing enough in the infrastructure required to push forward a renewable agenda. we want to make sure we have the institutions locally and nationally that would drive forward energy efficiency and climate change

targets. that's why we're making sure our new organisations will that key responsibility, and one example is rolling out electrical vehicle charging points across the country. cani charging points across the country. can i pause on that for a moment, do you know how much it is going to cost? conservatives are suggesting it will be around £100 billion.” wouldn't recognise those figures whatsoever, but what we have to say... how much will it be? we will determine the cost when we ta ke we will determine the cost when we take it on in public ownership. does that mean you don't know? yellow ...a a ballpark figure? in terms of compensation, the crucial figure, a ballpark figure? in terms of compensation, the crucialfigure, on that point, the compensation amount would be determined by parliament. that will consider what state these companies took on the infrastructure at the time that they were privatised, how much tax they have paid, how much they've invested. to

put a finalfigure paid, how much they've invested. to put a final figure on compensation at this stage would be difficult because it would be ultimately for parliament to decide. it could be 50 instead of 100, how would it paid for? in terms of paying we have said we would exchange shares for bonds, and in terms of the taxpayer, we have said there would be no cost to the taxpayer. the office for national statistics and international accountancy guidelines dictate it doesn't go on the public balance sheet. but it all has to be paid for, it has to come out of taxes ultimately? not taxes, no, we've been clear on that. these companies are profitable companies, they've paid £12 billion to shareholders and we want those profits back into the system and to bring bills down. somebody would be pleased if they had their bills down because of solar panels, but does

that take away the individual incentive because of the government spoon feeding us rather than encouraging us? for many years we've been encouraged to take individual responsibility for climate change and there's nothing wrong with that, but we know now that's not been enough. we need to take old government action and we know that by the government doing that, and a labour government would do that, not only can we tackle climate change but we can spare on what we are calling a green industrial revolution that will support businesses setting up manufacturing facilities, to reduce the low carbon and renewable future technologies. we will need experts in the installation of solar panels, a policy being announced today, as well as engineers involved in those panels' manufacturing. it's about harnessing the economic possibilities as well as the climate change issue, and we know we can ta ke change issue, and we know we can take control here and across the world. we are about to run out of time but we can't let you go without

asking about brexit. a nation just did the same thing! you've been in the room for these talks between labour and the government, are you close to any kind of deal that could get this through? what i will say about the talks is they have been very good mannered. both sides have come... i don't think people want to know about matters, can you sort it out? we know the government have shifted in some areas but not others significantly. have you shifted? we have said we are willing to compromise constantly and we have tried to reach a consensus knowing both sides have to compromise. there are certain areas where the government hasn't been willing to compromise and we've reached the stage where we think the government will put the deal to parliament again without our agreement, so that will show a lack of faith in politics. we would like to reach a position where we have agreed a deal

and we don't think we are they quite yet. do you think you are going to get there? this feels like it's going nowhere. politicians from all parties need to work together to make sure we get a brexit deal good for britain. putting party politics to one side. ben was telling us about thomas cook and people not working there holidays. it is affecting people's lives, this sense of limbo, do you feel responsibility for that as a politician in these talks was yellow huge, i had a meeting yesterday with no deal would be catastrophic for british injury so —— industry. no deal would be catastrophic for british injury so -- industry. we need to make sure this is sorted as quickly as possible. we need to work together to try to reach a common position. that is difficult because politically all parties have a range of opinions on where we should go on this but we need to look at things

in detailand we this but we need to look at things in detail and we have to have full agreement. we need to have a commitment and a promise that is entrenched legally that when this deal has finally been agreed by the parties, the incoming tory leader, who might come after theresa may, doesn't just rip it who might come after theresa may, doesn'tjust rip it into pieces. it's finally been agreed, so you it's going to happen? have to be hopeful but at the moment we haven't reached an agreement with the government. thanks for coming in. thanks very much. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. from bbc london news. the family of a woman killed by her ex have criticised the blaise attitude of the child maintenance service after she told it of his threats. a review into her death

said management of case was inadequate. it will investigate. a government spokesman said the wording needed further careful consideration. it'll be debated in parliament today. a teenager who was sleeping on the streets has gained work with one of the world's most famous designers, ted baker. do not feel like you're lesser than what you are and always understand that if there is anything you want to succeed at life you can always get there just through sheer will and strength. i can just

there just through sheer will and strength. i canjust get there just through sheer will and strength. i can just get through everything. let's look at the travel around and there are still problems around and there are still problems around at the moment. the bakerloo line has no service between paddington and harrow & wealdstone following a signalfailure, and the dlr has severe delays. elsewhere, the marylebone road is down to one lane in both directions at park crescent for emergency gas work near great portland street station. westbound traffic is already tailing back through the euston underpass. and in south woodford, the north circular is down to one lane southbound atjunction 4 for the m11 after a collision. delays are halfway back to woodford new road. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini hello, good morning. yesterday we got to nearly 21 degrees celsius in the capital, but today, and particularly, tomorrow, it's going to feel cooler once more, and there will be more cloud around as well. still plenty of sunshine this amorning. it's a nice, sunny start to the day. temperatures generally mid—single figures, so quite a cool one too. we'll keep the sunshine through the morning and then into the afternoon, more cloud

pushing in from the east. a fairly brisk north—easterly wind and it will keep cool in exposure, top temperatures this time only between 16 and 18 degrees celsius. through this evening and overnight we're going to see more cloud increase from the east and there could be some outbreaks of light, patchy rain and drizzle into tomorrow morning as well. overnight lows between seven and nine degress celsius. the rain will be on and off through the day but it will tend to be quite light, not very persistent at all. temperatures tomorrow only at 14 or 15 degrees celsius, so distinctively cooler. we've still got that north—easterly breeze, but the wind will lighten over the weekend, one or two showers. looking warmer, with more sunshine on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning.

this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. ministers are putting the supervision of all offenders in england and wales back in the public sector — after a series of serious failings with the part—privatisation of probation services introduced five years ago. the justice secretary, david gauke, says contracts with private companies — which monitor low and medium risk offenders — won't be renewed. the work will be done instead by the national probation service, which already manages those who pose the highest threat. theresa may will meet senior conservative mps today, who will demand she set a firm date for her departure from downing street. the prime minister is meeting the influential 1922 committee of tory backbenchers to discuss her future, as pressure grows for her to stand aside. under present rules, she can't be challenged as leader until december. the world's first drugs designed to stop cancer cells becoming resistant to treatment could be available within the next decade, scientists have said.

researchers from the institute for cancer research say they could make cancer a manageable disease in the long term and more often curable. travel firm thomas cook has reported a loss of billion pounds to the six months. the company is borrowing nearly 300 million pounds to get through next winter and closing high street stores to save money. a house of lords committee has said construction of the hs2 high—speed rail link should have begun in the north of england — where better rail infrastructure is needed most. the first phase is being built from london to birmingham, with the line eventually reaching manchester and leeds. the government says it disagrees with the findings. coming up on the programme —

carol will have the weather. she's live at primrose hill out there and it is glorious. it's 7.30, and mike is here with the sport, another night where it all goes up in the airagain! another night where it all goes up in the air again! oh, crazy football times, crazy comebacks. did you sleep after all that? i no, times, crazy comebacks. did you sleep afterall that? i no, —— times, crazy comebacks. did you sleep after all that? i no, -- no, i had a long journey and it was incredible. hats off to derby and frank lampard because his first season, he has come on so much this season, he has come on so much this season as a manager. there was always talk this season about the way leeds was playing and the genius of marcelo bielsa, but did we see the genie coming out lamp? the lamp being frank lampard. what was so remarkable about last night, derby had lost the first leg so it is a semifinal over two legs in the

championship playoffs and no team had ever gone through to the semifinal after losing at home. derby, 1 —0 down and nobody gave them a chance except for frank who made that substitution, and this happened. leeds united keeper kiko casilla, signed for real madrid, runs into his own defender and with his first touch, the sub that frank lampard brought on, jack marriott did there. they will play for the chance to get back into the premier league at wembley. this are the scenes, i think we can hear now, in the derby dressing room afterwards. singing let me explain what that song is because it's great footballing humourand because it's great footballing

humour and banter. after beating derby three times already this season, leeds fans were taunting lampard with a song by oasis stop crying your heart out and there were, the derby players singing it back to their own manager because he is not crying his eyes out except with tears ofjoy. so they play aston villa on may 27th. what a comeback. after england had celebrities announce their women's world cup squad last week, scotland took a simpler approach to naming their23 for the tournament. primary school children, in hamilton revealed the chosen players. that's really nice of them. defender rachel corsie will captain scotland in their first world cup finals, with arsenal midfielder kim little as her deputy. they're in a tough group, facing england first on 9thjune,

also japan, who were runners up at the last world cup and argentina. you know at school, jon and sally, when you had to pick two teams, pick two captains, you pick your mates — i was pretty much always the last... me too. ..they're doing that for the new cricket tournament live on tv. it is this draft pick format if you like. it begins injuly next year. eight new city—based sides, with men's and women's teams, will include england stars, as well as overseas and domestic players. they'll be chosen, in a live tv show they find out on air? they get to choose the players live on air. they have done it before in the nfl and the afl, these live auctions. it seems to create excitement. former champion tom dumoulin, has withdrawn from the giro d'italia after failing to recover from a crash. the dutch rider, couldn't complete yesterday's stage, after injuring his knee on tuesday.

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. no play due to rain at the italian open yesterday, but britain'sjo konta is in second round action, against the american sloane stephens later. meanwhile, the two—time champion maria sharapova has withdrawn from the forthcoming french open, due to a long standing shoulder problem. the 32—year—old hasn't played since january, and had an operation, the next month. golf's second majpr of the year, the us—pga championship gets underway at, bethpage in new york state later. tiger woods, is going for back to back major wins, following his masters victory last month. that was his first major win in 11 years. he's not played since, after pulling out of the pga tour event at quail hollow, a couple of weeks ago. that will give us something to keep busy with later on today. we'll have news on that later tomorrow on breakfast. brilliant.

back to our main story now. ministers are bringing the supervision of all offenders in england and wales back into the public sector — after a series of failings with the part—privatisation system introduced five years ago. transforming rehabilitation was the flagship policy of the then justice secretary chris grayling. it allowed private companies to supervise former prisoners who posed a low or medium threat. here's what he has to say about it in 2014. violent crime, sex crimes, nearly 60% of those people re—offend within a few months of leaving prison. that's the problem we're trying to solve. we have a situation where people are walking out of the prison gates without any support at all, and that's now going to change. it's going to change, they said. but since then, figures from the national audit office show a 47% increase in offenders being recalled to prison, and a potential bill to tax—payers of almost half a billion pounds.well let's speak now to the current justice secretary, david gauke, who joins us from westminster.

mrgauke, you mr gauke, you were warned — not you personally but the conservative—led government was warned — that this was always going to fail. it shouldn't have happened, should it? i think we all have to remember where we were in 2013. the old syste m where we were in 2013. the old system wasn't working, there wasn't sufficient innovation in the system soi sufficient innovation in the system so i think there was need for reform. i do think it important that there is a diversity of sectors in probation so that we have the private sector and the voluntary sector playing an important role. but the experience that we've had over the last five years suggests that when it comes to offender management, which is the direct supervision of offenders, making sure that court orders are properly implemented, that we make a risk assessment of offenders, that it will be better done if that was a unified model and that we bring it all within one organisation, and

that's what we're announcing we're going to do today. exactly. and that's what you were told, repeatedly, by the government, five yea rs repeatedly, by the government, five years ago. your predecessor chris grayling was warned this was never going to work and was told at least pilot it in some areas and he didn't do that. if he'd done that, if he'd listened, you wouldn't be in the embarrassing u—turn situation today, would you? it is worth remembering the re—offending rating have fallen since 2014. there are a degree of offenders who are getting supervision which simply didn't happen previously. and also the increased role of the private sector on things like unpaid work and some of the accredited programmes is, by and large, working pretty well. so i think sometimes these things can be overly simplified... but come on you're not seriously trying to spin

this as a success this morning, are you? no, buti this as a success this morning, are you? no, but i am accepting that when it comes to offender management and the reasons why we are where we are somewhat complex, to do with the case loads not being what we expected, but we are where we are and the situation is the best way forward in the long—term in my view so the deliver the probation system we need, which is hugely important for us in terms of reducing crime, that the best way forward is to bring the offender management structure together, to have a unified model. we'd already announced we were going to do that in wales and we'll be implementing that later this year. but i've come to the conclusion we should apply that across england as well. i think that across england as well. i think thatis that across england as well. i think that is the system that is most likely to bring us an effective probation system that means we can rehabilitate people, that we can

reduce crime, we can reduce re—offending and robust community sentences that judges an d magistrates will be believe in. not for the first time #failinggrayling is trending this morning. without brexit and all the other things, he'd be out on his ear, wouldn't it? i don't think that's right. there was a need to reform the probation syste m was a need to reform the probation system in 2014. there are things that have happened that were very ha rd that have happened that were very hard to anticipate. for example, the way the case loads have switched so that we have now more, if you like, high—risk, serious offenders relative to the quite significant fall away from the low risk and medium risk offenders. that's been one of the factors that's meant this model hasn't worked particularly as expected. most people would expect...

expected. most people would expect. . . we expected. most people would expect... we are where we are. we should build on — there are aspects of this reform which has improved the system but aspects which have not wanted as we warranted them to work. i think we —— wanted them to work. i think we —— wanted them to work. i think we —— wanted them to work. i think we should build on those reforms an move to a new system which still has the involvement of the private and volu nta ry involvement of the private and voluntary sector, really important involvement, but when it comes to this offend management function, i think a unified model will work better. we're talking about the prime minister's vulnerability in brexit i mentioned there. i know she's due to meet senior tory backbenchers today. all this talk yet again about her setting a departure date. how do you expect, how do you want this process to work? she's already said she will leave. how is this going to happen? what's the route? well, look, in my view, we have a very important task asa view, we have a very important task as a government, which is to get through phase 1 of brexit — leaving the european union. i think, through phase 1 of brexit — leaving the european union. ithink, rather than the conservative party becoming obsessed and focused on who is

leading the party, we should back the prime minister and support her deal, and try to deliver that. because, you know, if we want to honour the referendum in a way that protects jobs honour the referendum in a way that protectsjobs and honour the referendum in a way that protects jobs and livelihoods, honour the referendum in a way that protectsjobs and livelihoods, we need to get a deal. the arithmetic in the house of commons does not change. it is still the case that the house of commons doesn't support leaving without a deal. and the house of commons, up until now, has not supported the only deal that is on offer. but changing the prime minister doesn't solve that problem. 0k. minister doesn't solve that problem. ok. we could go on but we'll have the leave it there. david gauke, thank you. carol is at primrose hill in london with a look at this morning's weather. is it still glorious? it is beautiful! good morning carol. good morning masalin and jon and good morning masalin and jon and good morning to you. glorious —— good morning to you. glorious —— good morning masalin and jon and good

morning masalin and jon and good morning to you. yesterday's top temperature was in scotla nd yesterday's top temperature was in scotland in my to where the temperature was around 26, the second time this year we've seen that level of temperature dashed in temperatures going down in the next few days, including today, cooler in the breeze but still sunshine with more cloud building through the course of the day. the first thing is we've got some sea fog coming in from the north the across the far north—east of scotland, that will clear. —— the north sea. a dry and sunny start for most but the sunshine will be hazy through the day in the west and we'll also see cloud from the north sea across england and wales through the day, but it should stay dry. temperatures up but it should stay dry. temperatures up to the high teens today at best except north—west scotland, where we

could hit 20 or 21. this evening and overnight we will hang on to clear skies in scotland and parts of northern ireland. for england and wales, more cloud and we'll see the start of showery outbreaks coming our way and as a result, not a particularly cold night. that leaves is into tomorrow with the lion share of the sunshine in northern ireland and north—west gullane. —— that leads us. a band of showery rain moving into england and wales through the day —— north—west scotland. temperatures down on what we're expecting today. through friday evening and overnight, you can see where we're going to have some rain across the northern half of the country. in the southern half of the country. in the southern half of the country it will be fairly cloudy, so some won't see temperature values dropping lower than 11. for saturday and sunday, more unsettled, especially on saturday. we could get a shower almost anywhere. but bright skies and sunny spells as well.

temperatures not particularly brilliant. on sunday things start to perk upa brilliant. on sunday things start to perk up a bit with the temperature starting to go up and not as many showers, we're not immune to them, but not as many and a few more bright spells to look forward to as well. something for everyone in the forecast over the few days. carol, thank you very much indeed! we are so distracted by the sunshine, not used to it that we just weren't watching! some of the world's biggest businesses have promised to do more, to help people with disabilities in the workplace. ben's got more on this. good morning. good morning! a fascinating subject and there is a lot of money attached to this so one everybody should pay attention to. good morning. this is a campaign that warns businesses they aren't doing enough to include people with disabilities, both as employees and potential customers. it's trying to raise awareness of the challenges faced by those with disabilities, and to encourage more firms to act.

today, a group of large firms, including giants like plane maker boeing and accountacy firm ey, have agreed to put disability on the agenda for every board meeting from this year onwards. they've got good reason to. there are about a billion people with disabilities around the world, that's one in seven. in the uk, there are around 12 million people living with a disability. and they've got spending power of around £249 billion a year, if you include them and their families. caroline casey has been behind the campaign to get business on board with this. good morning. good morning. let's start with your personal experience, you have experience of working in an organisation and not really wanting to tell people you are living with a disability? first of all, the valuable 500, the name of the

campaign, is making amends for my conscious act of discrimination, i hid my disability, im registered blind, when i was working with acce ntu re blind, when i was working with accentu re i blind, when i was working with accenture i never told anybody. people are fascinated by how i got through but it's not the how, it is the why and valuable 500 is about getting 500 ceos around the world committing to putting disability on their board agenda. an ear report said 7% of our leaders have a disability and four out of five of them hide it but why? like me, i am fine! many businesses say we do this and that but it's important that it's at that level, you call it the c—suite, the boardroom ? it's at that level, you call it the c-suite, the boardroom? these are the leaders of our organisation. we do what the leader wants. we saw

what sheryl sandberg, the ceo of facebook, did for gender. we see what bono does for poverty. we saw what bono does for poverty. we saw what al gore did for the environment, we need 500 ceos, the biggest in the world, to say i care about disability and i'm willing to commit to resources to put it equally on my agenda like i do other issues, not put it as the poor cousin. there are two distinct areas, firstly making it a better place to work for people with disability. how do you do that, leading from the top, what do they have to change? the most important pa rt have to change? the most important part is if they leader doesn't know about the employees that already exist in their business... leaders think maybe there's two to 3% of their companies with a disability, but in fact statistically it's most likely to be 12% because 80% of the 1.3 billion people in the world have a disability is invisible stopper you would never know i'm visually impaired you look like george

clooney to me, you would never know i couldn't see you! who are our employees? we need to market to them. do we ever see people with disabilities in marketing and advertising? the most important thing we need to know is the next generation, people under 35, they wa nt to generation, people under 35, they want to work with companies and spend money with brands that welcome them and allow them to be who they are. this is a conversation to allow people to be who they are so they can belong and be productive. as you touched on, it's notjust about the world of work, it's about spending power as well? one of my great quotes is there's 100,000 vegans in the uk but the supermarkets are more interested in the 100,000 vegans, not the consumers with disability, they have £249 billion of spending power. that is just crazy. what is important for us, we have two big partners stopping on the con, the biggest median media brand agency. we have

got virgin media, that's a lifestyle brand. and we have another one getting young people saying i want to be served as a consumer. getting to be served as a consumer. getting to products and services like anyone else. fascinating, we can talk about how this works for everybody for ages. when we were talking before you said that's not the only thing you're contending for? yellow fear of missing out is what we can do. there is a list of 500 ceos, are you going to be on that list or another list? i see you are doing a menopause week, i have to own this, my biggest disability at the moment isn't my site but it is menopause. it is taking away my filter. we are announcing 11 more today, 120 in process , announcing 11 more today, 120 in process, so exciting, menopause is my superpower right now so get on board! the best way to leave it!

thank you for coming in and we will talk again soon. a fascinating subject to discuss. more from us a little later, see you soon. we've just had a message from george clooney, he said he's never been so offended! he looks like george clooney to me! hang on a second! that's why i like you, sally! while i run for cover... time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. the family of a woman killed by her ex have criticised the blase attitude of the child maintenance service after she had told it of his violent threats. emma day was murdered by mark morris after he waited for her outside the gates of their child's school in south london two years ago. a review into her death said the management of her case was inadequate. the government said it would consider the report's

recommendations. the mayor of london has expressed anger after the government rejected a definition of islamophobia created by a group of mps. the all—party parliamentary group on british muslims wanted to define it to tackle what it called a "social evil". but a government spokesperson said the wording needed "further careful consideration". it'll be debated in parliament today. islam is a religion that can stand up for itself, it doesn't need protection. we're not talking about a backdoor blasphemy law, we're talking about protecting those who follow the faith of islam. we've seen, i'm afraid, in london, we've seen in christchurch, we seen around the world the consequences if islamaphobia's not tackled. a teenager who last year was sleeping on the streets has gained work with one of the capital's most famous designers. jamal reilly was put in touch with ted baker's interior design team by a charity and now has a full timejob working for them. let's take a look at

the travel situation now. on the tubes, still a couple of problems around at the moment, the bakerloo line has no service between paddington and harrow & wealdstone following a signal failure and the dlr is part suspended now too, between limehouse, poplar and west india quay. elsewhere the marylebone road is down to one lane in both directions at park crescent for emergency gas work near great portland street station. westbound traffic is tailing back towards kings cross. and in south woodford, the north circular is down to one lane southbound atjunction 4 for the m11 after a collision. delays are halfway back to woodford new road. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday we got to nearly 21 degrees celsius in the capital, but today, and particularly, tomorrow, it's going to feel cooler once more, and there will be more cloud around as well. still plenty of sunshine this amorning. it's a nice, sunny start to the day. temperatures generally mid—single figures, so quite a cool one too. we'll keep the sunshine through the morning and then into the afternoon, more cloud pushing in from the east.

a fairly brisk north—easterly wind and it will keep cool in exposure, top temperatures this time only between 16 and 18 degrees celsius. through this evening and overnight we're going to see more cloud increase from the east and there could be some outbreaks of light, patchy rain and drizzle into tomorrow morning as well. overnight lows between seven and nine degress celsius. the rain will be on and off through the day but it will tend to be quite light, not very persistent at all. temperatures tomorrow only at 14 or 15 degrees celsius, so distinctively cooler. we've still got that north—easterly breeze, but the wind will lighten over the weekend, one or two showers. looking warmer, with more sunshine on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today: a massive shake—up of the probation system. the supervision of thousands of offenders is brought back under government control after serious failings were identified. theresa may prepares to meet senior conservative mps who are demanding a firm date for her departure from downing street. i'm sweating. oh my god! our conversation on the menopause continues. this morning the reality

of going through it aged just 15. thinking that i'm never going to be able to have children, itjust shocks you so hard. it's unbelievable. trouble at travel firm thomas cook. it's reported a loss of almost £1.5 billion this morning. more on that in a moment. another crazy footballing comeback. on a night of high drama, frank lampard's derby come come from two goals down to stun leeds and reach the championship play off final. good morning from primrose hill in london. a chilly start for all of us with some sunshine and showers in the west and a bit more cloud developing later on in the day. more in15 developing later on in the day. more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's thursday 16th may. our top story: the supervision of all offenders in england and wales is being taken

over by the government, after a series of serious failings with the part—privatisation of the system. the national probation service will be given back control of low and medium—risk cases, which were given to private providers five years ago. danny shaw has more. he promised it would transform rehabilitation for offenders. chris grayling was the architect of the biggest probation shake—up in decades, allowing private firms to supervise former prisoners and people serving community sentences who pose a low or medium risk. but now the reforms are being scrapped. the nail in the coffin was a report from dame glenys stacey, the chief probation inspector. she said the model of part privatisation was irredeemably flawed and people would be safer with the public sector in charge. under the new system, all offenders will be monitored by the national probation service, based in 11 regions. the private and voluntary sectors will provide unpaid work and drug

misuse programmes for offenders. but there will be no payment by results, a key element of chris grayling's approach. it was a mistake and chris grayling has to share responsibility for that. he thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. we pleaded with him not to do it, or at least pilot some of the schemes first. he flatly refused, pushed it through to satisfy his own political agenda, and has cost the taxpayer millions and millions, hundreds of millions of pounds. david gauke, the currentjustice secretary, says the new system will increase public safety. it will be introduced in wales this year and across england in 2021. danny shaw, bbc news. earlier on breakfast, thejustice secretary david gauke said despite difficulties over the last five years, there are some positives to build upon. i think there was a need to reform the probation system in 2014. there are some things that have happened

that i think very hard to anticipate, for example the way that the caseloads have switched, so that we have now got more, if you like, high risk, serious offenders relative to the quite significant fall in terms of the low risk and medium risk offenders. that has been one of the factors that has meant this model has not worked particularly as was expected. actually there are aspects of these reforms that have improved the system, but there are other aspects that have not worked as we wanted them to work, and i think we should build on those reforms and move to a new system that still has involvement of the private and volu nta ry involvement of the private and voluntary sector, really important involvement of the private and volu nta ry involvement of the private and voluntary sector, but when it comes to the offender management function, i think to the offender management function, ithinka to the offender management function, i think a unified model will work better. theresa may will meet senior conservative mps today who will demand she set a firm date for her departure from downing street. the prime minister is meeting the influential 1922 committee

of tory backbenchers to discuss herfuture, as pressure grows for her to stand aside. our political correspondent, chris mason, joins us now from westminster. another meeting where her future is on the line. yes, these things come around, don't they? as we speculate about the prime minister's future and also the future of the brexit process. it got me thinking. even cats looked on enviously at the number of lives that theresa may seems to have had politically. a little illustration for you here. you don't get this stuff on newsnight! if you think back to the things that the prime minister has survived politically, it is quite striking. the general election when she went backwards, the confidence speech when the stage was welling down and she lost her voice, surviving a vote of confidence in her leadership, surviving a vote of confidence in the government, then losing three times on her key piece of brexit legislation. so why now? a sense among conservative mps that they want specifics about when she

might leave, irrespective of whether she can get her brexit deal through, and plenty wanting to see her gun by the summer, to have a leadership race happening within the next couple of months. —— see her gone. two things coming up, the european elections, when the conservatives are expected to take a pasting, and then the plan at the beginning of next month for a fourth attempt at getting her brexit deal through, the expectation being that for the fourth time, she will lose, and so the hope from a growing number of conservative mps that her ninth, tenth, 11th political life will be up tenth, 11th political life will be up then, and she will go. but she has defied political gravity and animal comparisons before, so who knows whether she will again? just when we thought we had reached peak chris mason, you have done it again. iimagine chris mason, you have done it again. i imagine people tuning in ten seconds before that thinking we had been hacked! thank you very much to

you and the cats. labour says it would install solar panels on nearly two million homes to generate electricity as part of a new energy policy. the party also plans to re—nationalise the uk's electricity and gas network, saying it would cut the amount paid to the current private sector owners. these companies are profitable companies. they paid out £12 billion in dividends to their shareholders. we wa nt in dividends to their shareholders. we want those profits to be invested back into the system and also to be used to bring people's bills down. not only can we tackle climate change but we can spare on what we are calling a green industrial revolution which will support businesses in setting up manufacturing facilities to produce the low carbon and renewable technologies of the future. that was rebecca long—bailey talking to us just a few short time ago. the world's first drugs designed to stop cancer cells becoming resistant to treatment

could be available within the next decade, scientists have said. researchers from the institute for cancer research say they could make cancer a manageable disease in the long term and more often curable. thomas cook has just published its half—year results. ben's been looking through the numbers for us. it is not good, huge loss, £1.5 billion, which isjust it is not good, huge loss, £1.5 billion, which is just for the first six months of the year and they have blamed that on a number of things. not least on the political and economic uncertainty which they say has been caused by brexit. and it has been caused by brexit. and it has meant, in the words of the chief executive, that that has meant many customers have delayed their holiday plans this summer, which has had a huge effect on the bottom line. they have had to take out what they call a financing arrangement, basically a bank facility where they get thrown a million quid to get them through the winter. they are worried about the winter. they are worried about the bookings being made. you look at the bookings being made. you look at the detail about what they tell us will happen next. already we know they have closed 30 stores, or are

due to close them on the high street, which reflect that we are booking online is not on the high street now. that leads to 300 job losses. they say they have also had multiple bids for their airline. you might be used to seeing the aeroplanes at the airport, which could still have a new owner colour and instead they will concentrate on things like hotels and excursions, rather than the physical plane to get you there. they are also blaming it on lots of us staying at home. a record number of people having a staircase and in the uk this year, meaning less demand for holidays overseas. “— meaning less demand for holidays overseas. —— staycation. i havejust looked at their share prices, which opened nine minutes ago, and their shares are down 22% in the first nine minutes of trading, and to put that into context, we know they have been falling sharply over the last few months. this time last year that shares were worth £1.46 and today they are worth 86 p. that gives you

an idea of what is happening with the firm. they will be around for a long time to come this is not the end, but massive restructuring at the company. thank you very much. jeremy kyle is utterly devastated after the cancellation of his tv show, according to newspaper reports. he told the sun his thoughts and sympathies are with the show‘s guest, steve dymond, who died shortly after recording an episode. the welfare of contributors on tv programmes will now be scrutinised by both mps and regulators. sir mick jagger has proved he still has the moves, even after heart surgery. look at that! that says i'm better andi look at that! that says i'm better and i am over my recent illness! this is released by him on instagram yesterday. the rolling stones frontman, who's 75, is recovering from a heart valve operation, which meant the band's tour was postponed in april. it isa

it is a good job he didn't need a hip replacement! that might have taken a hip replacement! that might have ta ken a couple hip replacement! that might have taken a couple of weeks longer. welcome back. it is good to see. it is eight to 10am and this is brea kfast is eight to 10am and this is breakfast from bbc news. —— 8:10am. 30 years ago when he was at the beginning of his career, homeland actor david harewood had a psychotic breakdown and was sectioned. now, as part of the bbc‘s mental health season, he has been exploring what happened in a documentary for the first time. we'll speak to david in a moment, but first let's take a look. 30 years ago i'd had a period of psychosis and i lost my mind. it's a period that is kind of scary because i don't remember huge chunks. i've always wondered what happened to me. i'm not bouncing off the walls

and perfectly stable. married with two beautiful kids, perfectly happy, successful, but i was sectioned. you know, i was in a mental institution, locked away. i'm wondering what the hell was it all about? david is here now. did you find out what it was all about? i did and it was quite painful to experience but i'm really glad that i did. just by making this documentary i kinda found out not only what happened to me but i found out what psychosis is, the effects of it, how it begins, and how it can really turn somebody inside out. all three making this documentary. we talk so much more now about things like depression, anxiety, low mood, those things. but actually psychosis feels like a different thing, doesn't it? a whole other level. but actually it is part of that awful family of mental health problems. actually it is part of that awful

family of mental health problemsm is but it stands alone in that it does everybody differently. it can bring on delusions. it can bring on hallucinations. i was hearing voices in my head. there one night i heard voices in my head was really quite extraordinary and i did absolutely everything this voice told me to do. iamjust everything this voice told me to do. i am just grateful and lucky that i had some very good friends who were very concerned about me and managed to get me to the right place, a place of safety, and get me section. —— sectioned. but a worrying experience. have you worked out the trigger that caused it? there were many triggers. that is the thing with psychosis. a slow build—up of pressure and stress. it can happen over the course of months. i can remember being on stage round the corner in derby and feeling really

on fire, and it was kind of exciting, but i realise now that was the mania. that is the manic stage when there is a lot of dopamine racing around your brain. you have natural chemicals running around your system anyway but when there is an your system anyway but when there is a n excess your system anyway but when there is an excess of dopamine, it can lead to sleepless nights and ruminating and thinking and thinking. unbeknownst to me, i was overdoing it and hitting the bottle and self—medicating are some of us do when we are feeling a bit stressed. and i tiptoed over the edge. since then, now, what is the legacy of that in your life? i am one of the 1596 that in your life? i am one of the 15% of people who have never needed further medication. just a one off? it just further medication. just a one off? itjust happened, further medication. just a one off? it just happened, yes. further medication. just a one off? itjust happened, yes. i think i have grown from it. mark rowland, who runs a mental health foundation, he told me about this phrase, post—traumatic growth, and for me, i ama post—traumatic growth, and for me, i am a prime example. i do feel it has

been a transformative experience and iam been a transformative experience and i am lucky to work in a profession where i can explore characteristics and different lifestyles. i would say it has been a benefit to me in my career. i must say this. i do know when things are getting too much. this has been quite overwhelming for all of us, all the people involved in the series. it has been really overwhelming to have your traumatic things reflected back at you. it is important for me sometimesjust to at you. it is important for me sometimes just to delete twitter because it gets too much, even the positive stuff. people saying well done, thank you for saying that. sometimes i can't really deal with it. my phone is buzzing and buzzing with retweets and the other day i just had to delete it. it isn't gone for ever. i can downloaded a couple of days later but right now, delete that i want some silence. the other day i sat in the garden with beautiful sunshine and i just day i sat in the garden with beautiful sunshine and ijust had a

lovely day of silence and chilling. there is a really important times, to ta ke there is a really important times, to take yourself out of the limelight, away from stress, give yourself peace and quiet. you are so young, all those years ago, but is that something you are not so good at because you had so many different things going on in your life? there we re things going on in your life? there were a few negative people at the start of my career who got their closing and i wasn't prepared for it. i wasn't prepared for being critiqued in the newspapers and some of it was certainly racist and some of it was certainly racist and some of it was overtly racist. when you pick upa of it was overtly racist. when you pick up a newspaper and you read a review slaughtering you, that is what it must be like being trolled. we have all had nasty messages on twitter. if you are getting that co nsta ntly. .. twitter. if you are getting that constantly... tremendous respect for our black footballers and black politicians who managed to do their jobs so well in the face of such an onslaught of racist abuse. i have enormous respect for them. has the

programme help to you? has making the programme taught you a little bit more about it? it has completely taught me. i was sitting in the wonderful drop—in centre in birmingham, witha wonderful drop—in centre in birmingham, with a group of young people recovering from psychosis themselves. she is amazing. she is. i was thinking i should be in the class because i learned more about psychosis in that classroom than i have in 30 years. i was sitting there thinking i didn't realise that about psychosis, i didn't realise it was so common, and this room was full of young people. it was kind of sad to see that it has happened to so many people. black, white, men, women, all kinds of people. it was a little shocking to see but great to see a communal place where people could come together and share their experiences. did you worry about sharing your own personal experiences this publicly? did you

think it might impact on your personal and professional life? no, i'm not worried. not at all. as nadia says, we need to talk about these things. i can't tell you the number of people who have responded to my tweet and just said thank you. thank you! i have had this for years andi thank you! i have had this for years and i have been ashamed of it. someone like you saying it, it makes me feel a little less ashamed. these are high functioning people, lawyers, doctors, architects, people who have gone on to have successful careers. people who have had that little moment in their lives when they have not been so strong and needed medication, and the fact that you have said thatjust makes me feel a little less ashamed of it, thank you and good luck. and that makes me feel great. david, it is a fantastic watch. thank you. please watch it. your phone will be buzzing tonight. switch it off for the next couple of days!

david harewood: psychosis and me is on bbc two tonight at 9pm. details of organisations offering information and support with mental health are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free, at any time, to hear recorded information on 08000 564 756. it is nearly 8:20am on thursday morning. thank you forjoining us. it isa morning. thank you forjoining us. it is a beautiful day for most of us. this is out of the window in sa lfo rd. us. this is out of the window in salford. the gorgeous, sunny start to this day in may. and in london? beautiful. is it going to last? yes, it will be like this all summer! carol, is it? only inside your head, jon, sadly. over the next few days,

the weather will change. this morning we are on primrose hill in london, 66.7 metres above sea level, roughly 219 feet. and here on primrose hill are two of the protected views across london. one to the palace of westminster and the other to st paul's cathedral. and as sally was saying, a glorious start to the day. blue skies but a bit of cloud is developing today and temperature is not as high. yesterday we were at 26 celsius in scotland, making it the warmest day of the year so far, and this is the second time we have had this temperature this year. it was also the warmest day in scotland this year so far. today will feel cool for most of us because of the easterly or north—easterly breeze, and we also have sunny skies to look forward to with more clouds developing through the day. first thing this morning we have things coming in from the north sea of

scotland, over the outer hebrides, but those showers will fade. for the rest of us it is dry and sunny to start with. in the west, the high cloud will make the sunshine hazy through the afternoon and then mcleod comes in from the north sea across england and wales. —— more cloud. it should state dry. temperature is widely up to 19 but in the north west of scotland 20 or 21 and cooler on the coasts, especially in the breeze. overnight clear skies in the northern half of the country and in the southern half, more cloud, and showery outbreaks of rain coming our way. as a result for most it will not be a cold night. we are not anticipating problems with rust. enter tomorrow, the lion's share of the sunshine will be across northern ireland and north west scotland. for the rest of the uk, it will be fairly cloudy with showery outbreaks of rain in moving from the east to the west across england and wales. later we

will see that coming into eastern scotla nd will see that coming into eastern scotland and temperatures down on what we are looking at today. through the evening and overnight, we will see more rain coming our way across the northern half of the country. the southern half is still fairly cloudy. the temperatures you can see now relate to the overnight temperatures, so some of us only dropping to 11 degrees. for saturday and sunday, the weather changes and more of us will see some showers. but there will be some bright spells as well. temperatures down a touch. on sunday, fewer showers, dry weather, some sunshine and temperatures picking up again. 20 degrees on sunday as possible in london for again. there is the most gorgeous bit of sunlight coming through the camera lens on your shoulder. how beautiful it looks. movie star looks at this morning. it is like the hollywood filter. as long as it is getting rid of all the lines! there aren't any. 8:22am.

here are some good news. i can hear brenda from bristol in my ear. you know what, there is another election on the way. not another one! this time next week people in the uk will be heading to vote in the eu elections. they were never meant to happen, of course. you've probably had your polling cards through, but how much do you know about the process? our political correspondent, chris mason, explains what it's all about. the european union, a club of 28 countries, and yes, the uk is still one of them. so let's head to brussels where at the heart of the eu are three institutions. firstly, the european commission. it is the executive of the eu. it dreams up plans for new european laws and implements the decisions in two other things, the european council and the european parliament. the council of the eu is where government ministers meet up from each member country

to discuss, amend and adopt laws and to coordinate policies. and then there is the european parliament. it meets here in brussels and also in strasbourg in france. it is the law—making body of the eu and the one bit that is directly elected by us. so how big is it? well, there are 751 meps elected from all corners of the eu, with 73 of them coming from the uk. but here's the rub with these elections. they only happen if you're a member of the eu and by now the uk wasn't meant to be. but it is and so they're on. meps will be elected to represent 12 chunks of the uk. here's how it looked in two bits of the uk in 2014, firstly in scotland, and then also in the south—east of england. the election uses a proportional system to work out which parties and candidates are successful. in scotland, wales and england,

parties choose a list of candidates in each area and voters just choose a party. things are a little different in northern ireland where voters list candidates in order of preference. let's take a closer look at the result last time. that was five years ago. ukip won more seats in the uk than anyone else followed by labour and then the conservatives. ten parties in total won seats representing different parts of the uk. turnout was 34%. but loads has changed since then, not least of course the eu referendum in 2016. and we've also seen, watch this, the collapse of ukip. 24 seats last time round, all the way down to just three when the parliament dissolved. this time round there are two new party is clamouring for attention, the brexit party and change uk, with opposing views on our departure from the eu. and one final thought.

what on earth happens if we go through this whole shebang and then the uk leaves? well, our 70—something beaming, victorious meps might be out of a job before they even start. so, yes, these elections are just a tad odd, but they could prove crucial in shaping the political weather and so determining everything from how long theresa may lasts as prime minister to what on earth happens with brexit. well, if chris doesn't know! it then all our hands next week, i guess. a very unusual election. a tad odd. that's the best bit of analysis i've heard. don't be mean about chris! his words. chris is great. we are going to be speaking after the news where you are from a young lady called annabel who is only 15. she

is going through the menopause and her story is a really important part of the menopause week that we have got on breakfast. do get in touch if you have questions about early menopause, people who go through it younger than they should do, because we will be talking about it in the next half an hour. first let's cross to our uk team to get the news, travel and weather where you are. yesterday temperatures got up to 24 degrees in northern scotland and they are likely to be a degree or so higherfor they are likely to be a degree or so higher for many of us today across the uk. high pressure in charge of the uk. high pressure in charge of the weather and it is drifting northwards across scandinavia but for the time being while it's still a bit breezy towards the southern coasts, we have light winds and lots of sunshine. going into the

afternoon you can barely see it but there will be a bit of cloud developing across northern england and southern scotland and elsewhere lots of sunshine and as we have seen, 25 celsius possible in northern scotland. through the evening, little change. we see clear skies, a bit more in the way of cloud and some mist moving into the far north—east of scotland and the northern isles but with clear skies overnight it could turn chile again in the countryside but the major towns and cities will see temperatures between five and 8 degrees. thursday, a bright start to the day and some showers across western scotland and cloud moves into the midlands and east anglia and it will be a cooler day and temperatures will drop down to 18 celsius and i will get cooler into friday with more cloud coming in on

the easterly wind across the north sea and more cloud during friday and some showers and western areas before the rain is more confined to central and southern areas and the best of the sunshine will be in the north—east of scotland and north—east of scotland and north—east england and northern ireland and a few showers with a more unsettled day and temperatures between 13 and 17 celsius and we stay on the cooler side before it warms up into next week. goodbye.
