this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines at 10: theresa may promises mps a ‘bold' new offer on brexit, to try to get her deal through parliament before she leaves office. a bbc investigation finds a fall in the number of prosecutions for revenge porn, even though there are more reported incidents of it. # all i know, all i know, loving you is a losing game #. triumph for the netherlands in this year's eurovision song contest, but despair for the uk, who finished last. manchester city celebrate victory in the fa cup final, as their captain vincent kompany announces he will leave the club this summer. and wyre davies is in cardiff, following the lives of those living on the streets of the welsh capital.

that's in half an hour, here on bbc news. good morning. the prime minister is proposing what she calls a "new bold offer" on brexit, as she prepares to bring her eu withdrawal deal back to mps for a final vote. extra protection for workers‘ rights is expected to be at the centre of the proposals — but both conservative and labour mps say they're sceptical about the prospects of the deal getting through the commons. let's have a look at the next steps in the brexit process. because the uk remains a member of the european union, this thursday, the 23rd of may, british voters will take part in elections for the european parliament.

the government has promised mps another chance to vote on brexit by bringing forward the withdrawal agreement bill to the house of commons in the week beginning the third ofjune. if the bill is not passed, the default position is that the uk will leave the eu on 31 october without a deal. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, is here with more. theresa may talking about a bold new offer, do we know what it is? that is what she is calling it, but with any is what she is calling it, but with a ny sales is what she is calling it, but with any sales pitch, it might sound too good to be true, it is important to check the small print but that is lacking at the moment. we have a suggestion on work as' rights, environmental rejections that might be added to the bill that would be voted on a couple of weeks. —— environmental protections. if you think it will involve the referendum ora think it will involve the referendum or a customs union, i think those

things are highly unlikely and the prime minister has ruled out changes to the withdrawal agreement, but an‘s divorce deal that contains the backstop and many things that the mps are not keen on. we have to wait for the detail, she is meeting the cabinet later this week and will make a big speech on the next few days. it seems like not for the first time the prime minister does not have any good options here. you mention the timeline there, the deadline now is the 31st of october and if the prime minister cannot get her deal three, parliament may well try and try again to stop a no—deal brexit but that remains the legal default and the brexit secretary stephen barclay has been talking about this morning. we leave with no deal or we will revoke all be far better option is to actually leave with a certainty of what the committee here and many others are saying with a deal. is that your preferred option, you would prefer to leave with no deal? i have always said to revoke the

biggest democratic decision in our history would be disastrous and fundamentally wrong. while i have been clear with my colleagues that i think a no deal outcome is destructive, i think there will be concerns on the committee like this about the consequence of no deal. but if parliament will not back a deal, needs to confront that reality andl deal, needs to confront that reality and i do think we in that instance need to bring forward our preparations to mitigate no deal because that will need to use the initial time we have. we will need to move at pace to do so. the brexit secretary speaking early on. going back to the bold new offer that the prime minister is proposing, is it fair to say that some of that might be based on what had government and the labour party were talking about in terms of trying to get a brexit deal together, a compromise, there talks that ended last week after six weeks of talking, but in the end breakdown? the aim of the cross— party breakdown? the aim of the

cross—party talks was to find an agreement between the two sides that could command a majority in parliament. they did not manage that, but there were areas in which the two sides did agree. the prime minister said herself in the pc is written for the sunday times this morning about this new bold offer as she calls it, now has a clear idea of what is needed to get a deal across the line. it is hard to see there are machinery something that we do not, and that her party does not unlike mps in the labour party does not. how she can wave a magic wand and command and the majority from this deal given that there are so from this deal given that there are so many things about it which you cannot change. she has a couple of weeks to convince mps to do that and they will vote on it, which is theresa may's last chance perhaps to get a deal over the line. thank you very much. the last time these elections for the european parliament were held, in 2014, ukip got the greatest share of the vote. this morning their leader

gerrard battern spoke to sky news about what his party was offering this time round. my opinion, and i have been entirely consistent about this all the way through the process, is that what has been cooked up by parliament, sorry, what's been presented to them by mrs may, is a not really leaving the eu withdrawal agreement. so if any ukip meps were elected, we will vote against that withdrawal agreement in the european parliament as the final step in and we are not about rhetorics, saying leave means leave. we will put the government back to square one, so then they have to leave under their own steam and under the no deal scenario. i think if i lost my seat in london, it would be untenable for me to continue as a leader. but i won't make a decision about what i'm going to do until after the european elections because i'm getting a lot of people from within the party sing to me

whatever the result is, they want me to continue. and next week, we will be continuing our series of interviews with meps and leaders from the main parties standing in the european elections in a special ask this. you can send us your questions to put to them. on monday, we'll speak to conservative mep ashely fox and vince cable, the lib dem leader. then on tuesday, we're interviewing gerard batten, the ukip leader, and on wednesday, it will be the turn ofjohn healey from labour and adam price, the plaid cymru leader. details of how to get in touch are on the screen. a bbc 5 live investigation has found that the number of prosecutions for "revenge porn" in england and wales has fallen, despite an increase in reported incidents. laws were brought in four years ago to tackle the problem. but while reports have more than doubled, the number of prosecutions has fallen by nearly a quarter. adrian goldberg, the presenter of 5 live investigates can tell us more.

it's quite a clear definition is the posting online, without your permission, of images, they could be videos or photographs of you, with the intention of causing embarrassment or distress. and the figures that you've seen show that in terms of the reported incidents of revenge porn, that is up, but the number of prosecutions is actually down. that's right. this law was only introduced in 2015. now, in the first year after it was introduced, there were more than 800 reports of revenge porn reported to the 19 police forces who responded to our freedom of information request. now by last year, so this is over a four—year period, that had more than doubled to 1800 reports in just one year. however, the number of charges brought had fallen considerably. there were just 158 charges brought last year, so over that four—year period that represents a 23% decline in the number of cases brought against offenders for revenge porn. and have you been able to find out

any reasons for that fall in the number of prosecutions? one of the key issues, according to campaigners, is a question of anonymity because, strange as it may seem, revenge porn is not classed as a sex crime. that means that if you bring a case of revenge porn, you're not guaranteed anonymity. and many people fear they will be shamed and humanity in public if they bring a case. and, again, it's only a snapshot, but based on the figures that we've seen, as many as a third of people who initially bring forward a case for revenge porn eventually back away because they fear that they will lose that anonymity and they will be identified in public. what are the government saying about that? it's a really interesting one, this. the ministry ofjustice said when they introduced the law in 2015 they did canvass far and wide and they say that it isn't a sex crime because the intention isn't sexual gratification, it is about embarrassment, it's about humiliation, but in their view it should not be classed as a sex crime because sexual gratification is not the primary aim. of course, campaigners say at the end of it

if you are the victim, it feels very much like a sex crime and they are campaigning for a change in the law. one of labour's longest—serving mps the former minister, geoffrey robinson has strongly denied allegations that he spied for communist czechoslovakia during the cold war. the mail on sunday alleges that files held in the czech republic say he shared information about britain's nuclear weapons system during the 1960s. the bbc hasn't independently verified the claims. this year's eurovision song contest had it all. russia's singing in the shower, australians on bendy poles and a half—time performance from madonna. the netherlands triumphed for the first time since 1975, but it was despair for the uk's entry, which finished last.

it got a few more than zero! our correspondent david sillito was there. from tel aviv, israel, this is the grand final of the eurovision song contest, 2019! it was from the beginning trademark eurovision... inside the auditorium. chanting: taking part in eurovision means you join a racist mission! but in amongst the throngs of fans, there are also protests, an argument that because of israel's actions in the occupied territories, it should not be hosting the eurovision song contest. i think the world should not allow israel to host events like this because having events like the eurovision here is masking away the reality of the occupation. and the heavy security, a reminder of the israel that wasn't on show. and in jerusalem, there were chaotic scenes. a police charge against religious protesters. they were objecting to eurovision taking place on the jewish sabbath.

but inside the event, there had been fears of protest but all passed off peacefully. and with some considerable spectacle, this swaying performance from australia. # when you call my name # it's like a little prayer # i'm down on my knees #. the interval act, madonna, who had faced criticism for playing israel, but there were some doubts about whether this was a douze points performance. the thing that brings all of these people here tonight is music. so let's never underestimate the power of music to bring people together. meanwhile, the uk's michael rice performed with gusto but once again it wasn't to be the uk's night. # bigger than us #. instead, the winner, the netherlands. # all i know, all i know, loving you is a losing game

# oh, oh, oh # all i know, all i know #. well, let's go live to sacramento where we can talk tojohn kennedy o'connor, who is the author of the eurovision song contest: the official history. where do you think this particular contest ranks in the official history of the competition? it was probably one of the most controversial, if not the most controversial, if not the most controversial by virtue of being in israel? compared with the contest that was held a couple years ago, similar in terms of controversy, in terms of production, it was a remarkable show. i think israeli television did a greatjob. i think eurovision is getting wrapped up in its own self these days, it was scheduled to be 3.5 hour show which is ludicrous. it happened the night ended being a four hour and 15 minute show, within acts by madonna,

designed to bring in the american viewers, i thought it was over the top and ridiculous. some might say it has been over the top and rejects for quite a long time. it has been over the top and rejects for quite a long timelj it has been over the top and rejects for quite a long time. i think you are right. a lot of people will be confused why it is even in the red soil —— in israel, just explain all of that. it is hard to justify why australia are in it, according to the rule book they are not allowed to participate. australia came into the competition originally as a guest and now they will be in the next five years. israel have been in the competition since 1973 and that is to do with the membership at the eu and israeli television are members. i make the analogy that the olympic games has not been held in olympia for over 100 years but they did not change the name. eurovision went well beyond your‘s borders in the

70s, why would you be branded? it does not really eurovision because you have azerbaijan, cyprus, australia. let us talk about the uk coming last, miserable performance, when i was growing up, we were rather good at eurovision. cliff richard and sandie shaw used to win it every other year, we have not won it every other year, we have not won it for ages, what has gone wrong? it every other year, we have not won it for ages, what has gone wrong7m was a miserable performance, in all the years i've been watching eurovision, most people remember gemini and they got zero points, i thought michael wright's provence was ten times worse than theirs. i have never had such dreadful singing. —— mcmichael rice's performance. his backing group was so performance. his backing group was so fantastic, they're great powerful vocals highlighted how woeful he was. i think it is because you can't take someone i think it is because you can't take someone who is a busker and works in mcdonald's, although i now understand he works on a waffle house, put them on the stage and

expect them to deliver. it is cruel andi expect them to deliver. it is cruel and i think you mentioned sandie shaw and cliff richard, unless the bbc goes back to having somebody, a real professional with real talent thatis real professional with real talent that is recognised in european countries, these results are going to keep coming. some people say this is all political. other countries, other juries have got it in for us, punishment for brexit, that thing. no, ithink punishment for brexit, that thing. no, i think it is the opposite. i think most europeans do not want brexit to happen so i think they would be encouraging the uk and saying, we do love you. i have been the spokesperson for san marino, i've worked with the juries, they are very responsive to the uk. no, there is no sense of that at all. i'm afraid the uk is getting the result is a deserves. you cannot keep sending these dreadful acts. his song was not too bad, but when you compared with the sweetest song, which was written by the same singer

and you saw how fantastic he performed, the britishjust lost it by comparison. —— when you compared it with the swedish song. a ruthless verdict on the british entry there. thanks tojohn kennedy o'connor, who is the author of the eurovision song contest: the official history. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may promises mps a ‘bold' new offer on brexit, to try to get her deal through parliament before she leaves office. the number of prosecutions for revenge porn has fallen, despite an increase in incidents, a bbc investigation has found. triumph for the netherlands in this year's eurovision song contest — but despair for the uk, which finished last. man city did not finish last, they

completed the domestic treble. we are hearing that the captain vincent kompany is are hearing that the captain vincent kompa ny is leaving are hearing that the captain vincent kompany is leaving the team. one of the new concern since the new owners came in and manchester city started winning everything. the club captain, a fantastic man when he is fit. he has had as injury worries, catching up with him, he is 33 now. he has made the decision to leave after helping the side when 6—0 in the fa cup final yesterday, clenching a domestic treble. in 11 years at the club he won four league titles, two fa cups and four league cups. the 33 year old joined them from hamburg for £6 million and has played 360 games

for the club scoring 20 goals including a brilliant winner against leicester a few weeks ago that helped them stay ahead of liverpool in the title race. he is out of contract this season and although it's understood that a one year extension was on the table he has decided to leave. the club say "he defines the essence of the club. for a decade he has been the lifeblood, the soul, and beating heart of a supremely talented squad'. in an open letter, he says the time is me to go now. ifeel in an open letter, he says the time is me to go now. i feel nothing in an open letter, he says the time is me to go now. ifeel nothing but gratefulness. i am grateful to all those supported me on a special journey at a very special club. a blue nation has arisen, he says, and challenge the established order of things. ifind challenge the established order of things. i find that awesome. so vincent kompa ny things. i find that awesome. so vincent kompany will leave on the ultimate high after that when yesterday, as they completed the clea n yesterday, as they completed the clean sweep. the other man who has been there every step of the way is davitt silver, he was on the side last time city won the cup in 2011. he opened the scoring, the

floodgates opened, gabriel jesus he opened the scoring, the floodgates opened, gabrieljesus and raheem sterling, 6—0 the record score in a fa cup final since 1903. it shows what the managers are building here, get the mentality right i go for a premier league again. we have done it this year, we have done it especially well. a long season with the world cup as well. i am just happy everyone has been focused and on their a—game all the way through. city have been all conquering on the home front. leon won the women 's champions league for a fourth year in a row. i think barcelona 4—1 in the final. the star, a norwegian, first half hat—trick. there are six champion league title in eight years, they have only lost two league games in

the last nine seasons in france. a goal difference of 957. brooks character looks to be coasting towards another title. 12 under, seven shots clear in the second major of the year going into the final round. that is a record lead after. the first fight as well to hold back—to—back titles in two major titles at the same time if he wins. not even tiger woods manage that in his prime. matt wallace, in the chasing pack but a long way back on four under. importing bouts overnight, de entree wilder, still the heavyweight champion, knocked him out in the first round. asked about a potential rematch with tyson theory, a big

unification fight with anthony joshua, he says the doors close. billyjoe saunders one, took the va ca nt billyjoe saunders one, took the vacant super weight middleweight title, beat the german on points. he is now a two weight world chairman after stepping up division. johanna konta will look to when her first clay court title later today, in the final of the italian open. she had to beat the dutch succeed in three sets in rome. virginia wade was the last woman to win this tournament way back in 1971. that final starts in the next couple of hours. more british success at the wild tyco —— world tae kwon do champions. herfirst world tyco —— world tae kwon do champions. her first world crown to go with her olympic titles, jade jones. 1a

vincent kompany is leaving. i will be back with more in the next hour. great player, great leader. thank you very much for that. if you're catching a train today, you should be aware of major timetable changes which are coming into effect. train operators say they're adding more than 1000 extra services per week. last year's changes led to weeks of delays and cancellations. here's our business correspondent, katy austin. tannoy: this service will remain here for approximately one minute. a huge overhaul of rail timetables last may resulted in huge disruption. northern and govia thameslink passengers were particularly badly hit. today's shake—up is a much smaller scale than a year ago. 1,000 extra services being added across the country, aimed at boosting the economy and catering for growing passenger numbers. the rail operators and network rail say they have been working together

to make sure lessons they learned from last year are put into place. they say they'll be monitoring the situation closely this time around and will be able to respond quickly if any problems do happen. they say the introduction of the winter timetable was successful. actual staff will be on hand to help passengers. the group representing people who travel by train says they need the change to go smoothly. well, we will know by the end of the morning commute on monday, that is kind of the acid test when this is really seen, whether it works or not. sunday is a trial run. monday morning is d—day for commuters, we will be watching on behalf of commuters and seeing how good the information is in particular. last summer's rail chaos led to apologies from the transport secretary and an inquiry concluded the rail industry needed to prioritise the interests of passengers. they are being advised to check before travelling but are also being assured plans are in place to minimise disruption. the start of the second world war saw nearly three million children

evacuated from britain's main cities to the safety of the countryside. in one case, an entire school was moved from london to wales. our reporter, tomos morgan, has been to meet the last two surviving members of one class, as they reunited for the first time since the end of the war. and we haven't met since we left school. since we left school. no. but you haven't altered. no, nor you. laughter it has been 76 years since they last met. but the school time memories of powis castle are still as clear as ever. do you remember miss gwyn? called her 'beaky'! very tall and very thin and she taught english. 0h, she was good though. during the second world war, thousands of schoolchildren from the cities were moved to safer rural locations. as governor of the welsh girls' school in ashford, just outside london,

lord powis invited the pupils there to be taught in his family home in powis castle, mid—wales. i think we were quite unaware of the war going on. because we were never told what was happening. wendy duff and mabel gower are now the last two surviving members of their year group. and in addition to the lessons, the homework, and the recreational activities they had here, the girls spent hours making much—needed garments that were sent to our battling troops. every spare minute we were knitting. we used to knit socks. we were made aware of the troops and what they wanted. and scarves, garters. what about the sea boot stockings for the navy? i hated doing those, because it was a thick wool and it was very oily. were you doing that as a hobby or were you asked? we were not allowed to waste any time at all.

in the 80th year since the beginning of the second world war, this now national trust—run castle has been recreated for the public as the school it once was between 1939 and 19116. we think there were about between 40 and 50 girls. it was the home of the herbert family, the earl of powis and his family. it was a hunting lodge, really, for them at that time. and they invited the welsh girls' school that lord powis was governor for. and that's margaret gregory... before the war ended, wendy and mabel parted to study at different colleges in london and the midlands. yet, after a lifetime apart, the memories of their time in powis live on. i feel as if we haven't really missed a time, you know. we both had completely different lives. it makes me very grateful

that i've lived so long. exactly, exactly. that was the bbc‘s tomos morgan reporting. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. we have another day of downpour dodging on our hands. yes, there are some sunny spells to be had, but also some pretty hefty showers with the odd flash of lightning, the odd rumble of thunder thrown in. so the rest of the day will pan out like this — increasingly bright conditions, with some spells of sunshine but a scattering of heavy, thundery showers. it is likely to stay quite murky close to some of these eastern coasts. conversely, a brighter day than yesterday across scotland. northern ireland tending to hold onto a lot of cloud. but in the best of any sunshine, those temperatures up to around 18 or 19 celsius. this evening, the showers continue for a time, they then fade away. overnight, a lot of dry weather with some clear spells, but also some areas of low cloud developing once again, some mist and murk, temperatures between seven and 11 celsius. quite a mild start to monday morning.

through tomorrow, really, we do it all again. cloud breaking up to reveal some spells of sunshine, a scattering of showers too, some of these heavy, some of these thundery, but in the sunshine it will feel warm, highs of 20 celsius. hello, this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines: theresa may promises mps a bold new offer on brexit, to try to get her deal through parliament before she leaves office. a bbc investigation finds a fall in the number of prosecutions for revenge porn, even though there are more reported incidents of it. triumph for the netherlands in this year's eurovision song contest, but despair for the uk, which finished last. and manchester city celebrate victory in the fa cup final, as their captain, vincent kompany, announces he's leaving
