this is bbc news. i'm chris rogers. the headlines at ten. australian prime minister, scott morrison, claims victory for his centre—right coalition government — in a shock result at the country's federal polls. tonight is not about me or it's not about even the liberal party. tonight is about every single australian who depends on the government to put them first. the shadow brexit secretary — sir keir starmer — says to break the brexit impasse, the government should commit to another referendum in the withdrawal agreement bill. the austrian chancellor calls a snap election hours after his far—right deputy resigns over corruption allegations. manchester city have won the fa cup.

manchester city storm to victory in the fa cup final, thrashing watford 6—0 to complete a historic domestic treble. and at 10:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers — broadcaster penny smith and bonnie greer, columnist for the new european and playwright. stay with us for that. good evening and welcome to bbc news. australia's conservative government has pulled off a surprise victory — in the country's general election — to remain in office. exit polls had suggested a narrow victory for the opposition labor party for the first time in 6 years. in the end, prime minister scott morrison's party edged ahead, prompting the leader of the opposition, bill shorten, to resign.

earlier scott morrison thanked the voters. it's always been for those of you watching this at home tonight, for me and for my government, for all of my team, it's all about you. tonight is not about me or it's not about even the liberal party. tonight is about every single australian who depends on the government to put them first. and so, friends, that is exactly what we're going to do. our government will come together after this night and we will get back to workjust as glad as they did in new south wales. just a few months ago. and that is our task and that is my undertaking to australians from one end of the country to the other. i said that i was going to burn

for you and i am, every single day. our correspondent, hywel griffith, is in sydney for us, and gave us this update. the gap in the polls was always tied to about one or 2%, however scott morrison and his government were always on the wrong side of that, they trailed behind to labor for two and a half years. i suppose in a way this was a political miracle. scott morrison as well known for being a pentecostal christian and spoke about his faith and values he wants to project and protect in australia, but on that stage behind me that they are rapidly dismantling now, he spoke about the miracle that had been delivered here in sydney tonight. labor were the ones that maybe had a more broad policy platform and the key to that was action on climate change. the polls, for what they're worth, told us that climate change with the one issue for voters and it seems that particularly in places

like rural queensland where the coal industry is still huge and dominant the majority of voters didn't get behind that change. they wanted to keep the status quo and go with scott morrison's argument that protecting the economy was the key. labour's brexit spokesman, sir keir starmer — has accused cabinet ministers of torpedoing his party's negotiations with the government, which collapsed yesterday. he's called on theresa may to put a promise to hold a further referendum on the face of her eu withdrawal agreement — when it's presented for a final time next month, before she steps down as prime minister. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, reports. an awkward and lacklustre launch for a european election campaign theresa may never wanted to fight. but the prime minister argued yesterday only the conservatives could deliver brexit. the big question is, how?

parliament has blocked her deal three times. early next month, they will vote again and some in her own party do not rate the prime minister's chances fourth time round. it has failed three times and you can watch the movie titanic 100 times but the ship sinks every time. if you are going to bring back this deal, and it has still got the backstop in it, the dup will not support it and an increasing number of conservative mps, even those who voted for it the second and third time, are saying enough is enough. as you go and knock on doors, we need to get that message out there. he had a message today, campaigning in cambridge. the shadow brexit secretary, who has long been a supporter of another referendum, called on the government to offer mps a say on whether to hold another public vote. we do need to break the impasse and one way to do that is for the government to put a public vote option on the face of the withdrawal agreement bill that it proposes to bring back in a few weeks' time. the prime minister has repeatedly

ruled out another referendum but a downing street source said mps would have the opportunity to amend the withdrawal agreement bill to allow for one, if a majority of mps would support it. are you going to be standing for the tory leadership? do you think you are too divisive a character? with the contest to replace theresa may at least unofficially under way, a yougov poll for the times has put borisjohnson as the outright favourite among tory activists to be the next conservative leader. before the prime minister steps down, though, or is forced to resign, theresa may has one last chance to deliver brexit on her terms when parliament votes again in a couple of weeks' time. jonathan blake, bbc news. austria has announced snap elections after the deputy chancellor, heinz—christian strache, resigned. it follows the emergence of a video in which the leader of the far right freedom party, apparently promised public contracts in exchange for campaign support before the general election two years ago.

mr strache complained he was the victim of political targeting. mr strache addressed reporters earlier where he apologised for his behaviour and announced his resignation. translation: today, at 11am, i had a conversation with chancellor sebastian kurtz, in which i offered my resignation from the function of vice chancellor of the republic of austria, and he accepted this decision. i'm doing this in my responsibility for this project to prevent any further damage to my family, as that is the most important thing in life. my party and my office. the austrian chancellor sebastian kurz says he can no longer govern in coalition with the freedom party. translation: i have nonetheless stayed, not ending the coalition over the first misconduct, but after yesterday's video i must say enough is enough. also if the methods to me are clearly contemptible, the content is just what it is. what's said about me in the video, from name—calling to the accusations and allegations, is secondary.

a man has died after a fight in a street in rochdale last night. he's believed to be in his early twenties. greater manchester police say a woman, who's 25, has been arrested in connection with the murder investigation. two migrant boats have been intercepted off the south coast of england. the home office says border force intercepted the first boat carrying 11 men across the channel. in a separate incident, kent police received a call from a vessel in danger south of folkestone. nine people, including men, women and a 12—year—old child were rescued and brought to dover. they are all believed to be a mixture of iranian and iraqi nationals. the us has warned that commercial airliners flying over the persian gulf face a risk of being"misidentified" amid heightened tensions between washington and tehran. in recent days, the us has deployed warships to the gulf, and withdrawn diplomatic staff from iraq over what it describes as iranian threats. iran's foreign minister, mohammad javad zarif, told local media that he does not

believe a war will break out in the region. tensions have been rising after the us‘s withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal last year. the partner of murdered journalist lyra mckee has made a public plea for same—sex marriage in northern ireland. sara canning told the crowds gathered outside city hall for the rainbow rally that a law change would be a "win" for everyone. ms mckee, a 29—year—old journalist and author, was shot dead by dissident republicans as she observed rioting in londonderry last month. the differences made, and the rights not extended to same—sex couples is not acceptable. it is not fair, it is not right and it's an affront to us as individuals, as couples, as families. to our love, to our loved ones and our children, we pay our taxes. we are governed by the same law, we love deeply and we love dearly. should we not be afforded the same rights in marriage? the duke of cambridge has spoken

about the pressure of working as an air ambulance pilot and the strain it placed on his mental health. in a bbc documentary, he says he was left with the feeling that death was always around the corner. prince william also said that losing his mother, diana, princess of wales — when he was a child — was a pain like no other. andy moore reports. he is the man who will be king, and his voice carries when he decides to take up a particular issue, in this case mental health. we have got to relax a little bit and be able to talk about our emotions because we are not robots. in this documentary, prince william sits in a changing room and discusses the issue with stars of the footballing world. he speaks candidly about the enormous grief he suffered when his mother, princess diana, died in a car crash in 1997. he was just 15. i think when you are bereaved at a very young age, any time really, but particularly at a young age, i can resonate closely to that, you feel pain like no other pain, and you know within your life it is going to be very difficult to come across something

that is going to be even worse pain than that but it also brings you so close to all those other people out there who have been bereaved. england and spurs defender danny rose was praised by the prince when he spoke publicly about his depression, but some people were not so understanding. in the summer, i was speaking to another club, and they said, the club would like to meet you, "just to check you are not crazy." because of what you said? yeah, because of what i had said and what i had been through. prince william spoke about the stress of his formerjob as an air ambulance pilot. he said he sometimes found it very difficult to deal with his feelings. in some cases, very raw emotional day to day stuff where you're dealing with families who are having the worst news they could ever possibly have, on a day—to—day basis. it leaves you with a very depressing, very negative feeling where you think, death is just around the door everywhere i go. that is quite a burden to carry and feel. prince william says the best way to share that burden is to be honest and talk openly about the mental health issues that

all of us experience. andy moore, bbc news. earlier i spoke tojosh connolly, a mental health campaigner who has had to overcome his own mental health struggles... i think it's great to hear people of that stature talking about their emotions and feelings, the way that these guys are doing. i think it's going to be paramount to breaking down the walls of stigma. certainly for me, it resonates when he talks about losing his mum and the pain it caused. that caused you problems as a child? my dad was an alcoholic and i lost him when i was nine years old. but i thought that as a boy and as a young man i wasn't supposed to struggle with it, and i thought that mental health struggles were something that happened to other people.

and i never knew that i was allowed to struggle, especially as a man in the way that i did. what i found is that being open about it now has really helped me to come to terms with some of the ways that i feel. i feel there's a lot of awareness now, isn't there, about mental health because it's becoming such a huge issue, is it men who find it particularly difficult to talk about their mental health issues? 0r, well, i think it's two fold, we find it more difficult to communicate in general, not just to talk about it but we struggle to hear each other when we talk about our emotions too. when i was struggling, if i communicated it to other men, they didn't know how to react. it's twofold. we find it difficult. for a long time there was a perception that as men we were supposed to be strong and rise above it and to be the providers and the protectors

and all that kind of stuff, that social construct goes against struggling in the way that people are and the way i can add still do in my life. how did you get through it? for me, i reached the point where i found i didn't want to be here anymore and i made an honest decision. it felt like an honest and noble decision to take my own life. i had an experience with my children and i changed my mind. i had to completely strip myself back and almost had to come out to everybody and admit that i wasn't the character and the man that i was portraying and that actually i was someone who was struggling, with the ways that i felt, and that i needed help. for me, one of the best things i've done and continue to do is reach out for and accept help.

the first english men's team to achieve the feat of winning the premier league, fa cup and league cup in the same season. they did it in incredible fashion, beating watford 6—0 at wembley for the biggest win in this fixture for 116 years. craig templeton reports the old wembley was the site of pep guardiola's finest hour as a player. could the new one be where his team win a historic treble? watford, in their first cup final in the 35 years, looked to provide the sting in the tail. here's the chance. he knows the importance of taking chances. this city team can take their chances and when david silva was given an opportunity, he took it. david silva with the chance! and when his namesake, bernardo, was allowed space, it was two. it looks like raheem sterling had pinched it but the goal belonged to gabrieljesus. sterling turned provider

and de bruyne turned gomes. de bruyne four manchester city! but they weren't done yet and there's no doubt that gabrieljesus scored this one. raheem sterling, who grew up in the shadow of wembley, scoring two goals in the biggest cup final win since 1903. six goals, three domestic trophies. history made. of course it was an incredible finalfor us, not for watford, because the end result is what it is. we finished an incredible year for us. for the organisation, the people, congratulations. especially for the players, of course, because they are the reason why we won this title. it starts with the manager. we set the standard at the start of the season and we said we wanted to go back to back. it is the group, a talented young players.

you need quality and that's why we did it. in the scottish premiership, st mirren have won back to back league games for the first time this season but they will still face a play—off to stay in the top division. st mirren beat already—relegated dundee 3—2, but hamilton's 2—0 win at home to stjohnstone means st mirren finish second from bottom and will now face dundee united in the play—off final. motherwell completed their season with a 3—2 win at home to livingston. )northampton clinched fourth place and the final play off spot in rugby union's premiership, despite losing 110—21 to top of the table exeter. harlequins were within a whisker of snatching fourth place but missed a last minute long range penalty. they were beaten 27—25 by wasps. bath snatched a late victory at leicester tigers to take the final champions cup place. sale missed out on the elite european competition despite beating gloucester defending champions leinster will face glasgow in the pro14 final after beating irish rivals

munster 211—9. (pres)johanna konta has become the first british woman to reach johanna konta has become the first british woman to reach the final of the italian 0pen in 48 years. the british number one had to come from behind to beat kiki bertens. the belgian winning the first set 7—5. but konta fought back, winning the next two sets 7—5, 6—2. she'll now play karolina pliskova in tomorrow's final. i've never really doubted my ability on this surface. i don't necessarily feel like this is massively out of the blue. double 0lympic taekwondo champion jadejones has added a world championships title to her long list of achievements after taking gold in manchester this evening. she was fairly comfortable in beating the defending champion ah—reum lee of south korea 14—7 in the under 57 kilogram final. the 26—year—old completes the set, adding to the bronze and silver medals she'd won at previous

world championships. that's all the sport for now. defending champion brooks koepka and the other leaders have teed off for their third rounds at the us pga championship. brooks koepka with a healthy seven shot lead. you can find the latest on the bbc sport website. thank you. thousands of women with down‘s syndrome, who are going through the menopause, might not be getting the help they need , because health professionals often overlook their symptoms. the down‘s syndrome association warns that emotional symptoms — are sometimes written off as challenging behaviour — caused by a learning disability. jayne mccubbin has been to find out more. right, ladies. what do you all know about menopause? it's the change. the change. it's something what men don't have to go through.

there's a reason it's been given to women — because we can cope. sorry, man in the room! i'm here to be abused — it's fine! this is the award—winning cafe leap in leeds. it's run for and by people with learning disabilities. but this session is to help women prepare and go through the change. feeling sad and tearful, depressed, forgetting things. you can get angry. i get quite tearful. you can get quite tearful sometimes. you've got lots of support here. we're all sisters. should we do a group hug? it's something, susan, every woman sat in this table is going to go through, sweetheart. my name is susan hanley and i am 5a years old and i'm going through the menopause. susan is the chair of cafe leap and has had a tough time coping with some of the worst of the symptoms. what do you fancy?

but this is where she comes for advice and support and essential tea and cake. a woman needs her cake. nice. not bad. becky told me you were a bit scared at first. i was a bit scared. i wasn't sure what i was going through. you weren't sure what was happening. i could get really low but i try to pick up myself. that's all you can do, really. the down‘s syndrome society tell us too many women like susan get late diagnosis and delayed support because symptoms are too often missed by gps. women with down's syndrome, they tend to go through the menopause earlier than the majority so the majority, they tend to say it's 50—plus, whereas with down's syndrome, it can be in your early 40s. and there is another reason symptoms can be missed as well. it's called diagnostic overshadowing. often that is when someone

is classed as having challenging behaviour, for example, or they're having an emotional outburst. so gps or medical professionals will miss an underlying medical problem because theyjust haven't taken the time to see beyond the learning disability? yeah. for some reason, it never seems to get picked up as menopause. please, doctors, nurses, whatever, please help us. don't use long words. don't talkjargon. don't hold it in. get it all out, out of your system. you'll feel great in yourself. one third of women will fly through the menopause, one third will manage the symptoms, but another third will find it hard and women with learning difficulties might need that bit extra help to make sense of what is happening. jayne mccubbin, bbc news.

the final of the 64th eurovision song contest has got under way in tel aviv this evening, following israel's win last year. clearly you're not interested because you're watching us! it's one of the world's longest—running tv talent shows, and the biggest. however, there's controversy this year, with dozens of artists calling for a boycott because of israel's treatment of the occupied palestinian territories. eurovision super fans will 0'regan and tom 0'chinnery told me about their hopes for the uk's entry, michael rice, who performed a short while ago. he is one of the, if not the best vocalist there, without a doubt. he's an absolutely amazing performer. the song is ok. it's not one of the best songs there. if his performance last night and tonight lives up to his usual standard, he should do well. he has an incredible live vocal ability, and he is flanked by a five incredible backing singers as well, so there's everything

to play for the night. we'd love to see the uk ending up on the left—hand side of the school we'd love to see the uk ending up on the left—hand side of the score board because it's been quite a long time. it would, wouldn't it, it would be really nice. we all bite our fingernails when it comes to the voting. we all secretly want the uk to win. but what are the highlights for you? what's made you super fans? there's a lot of talent contests, you've got the x factor, britain's got talent, but what is it about the eurovision? for me, it's been since i was very young. i got this guy into it. so everything he knows about eurovision, he's learned from me. but for me, growing up in ireland, where eurovision was the biggest thing every single year. we didn't have entertainment shows aside from a friday night chat show, a saturday night chat show, and suddenly the eurovision song contest was in ireland and being made in ireland year after year. so that's where it started for me and from then until now, i'm still hooked.

what i enjoy most about it, it's an entertainment show. it's not about sob stories, back stories, it's about having fun with the song and performance. what i look forward to most is the interval act, it can be brilliant, it can be awful, that's nothing to do with the song. sweden, a few years ago is by far the best i've ever seen. it can be hit and miss and we're looking forward to that tonight. did you ever see riverdance? i saw it, it was ok. 0k! now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. a much cooler day today over northern ireland and scotland. yesterday in scotland we had temperatures into the low 20s but today they've been struggling under a thick layer of cloud. further south, a number of heavy showers, especially in central and eastern parts of england, some of them quite heavy, with cloud looking like this through the afternoon in parts of 0xfordshire.

0vernight, most of those showers in england and wales will fade away and we are left with clear skies, some mist and fog patches possible, especially for east anglia. more cloud for northern ireland and scotland where there will continue to be patches of rain running through from time to time. not a cold night, temperatures 6—10. quite a cold day. some heavy showers, especially arriving as we head into the afternoon. for many areas, a cloudy start, the rain pestering northern ireland and some showers in western scotland. later in the day we'll see those shower clouds growing and becoming heavy and potentially thundery. most showers in scotland over the east. some of them slow—moving. it will feel a bit warmer with temperatures up to 15 degrees. similar in northern ireland where there is a risk of showers. a line of slow—moving

downpours over central and eastern areas of england. they will bring some hefty downpours later in the day. over the next few days, sunshine and showers continuing. later in the week it will turn a bit windier and we may see low pressure moving in to threaten some rain. monday, mostly dry, the cloud braking to give some sunshine and heavy, slow—moving thundery showers. some of those showers are going to be quite intense. temperatures coming up, 19 degrees in cardiff. showers to start the week. later in the week they will turn a bit breezy with a threat of rain for some of us.

hello. this is bbc news with chris rogers. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment
