vincent kompany says he will leave the club this summer — after their fa cup final win over watford yesterday. and in half hour here on bbc news — the dateline london panel discuss who could replace theresa may as prime minister and deliver brexit. 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 23rd 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 3rd june. if the bill is not passed, the default position is that the uk will leave the eu on 31st october without a deal. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, is here with more. the prime minister is giving it one more go in the commons. she is making what she calls a new bold offer. there we know what the offer is? it is a big promise and it is one that if she has a hope of getting her deal through she will have to live up to but with any sales pitch that sounds like it is a bit too good to be true it is important to check the small print. in terms of the detail of what this new bold offer, new and improved the deal will be, it is a bit thin on

the ground at the moment. you mentioned employment protection, workers' rights, and also environmental guarantees as well. those are some things which could entice some labour mps to vote for the deal. but in terms of fundamental changes i think it's unlikely we will see those. the eu has said it will not reopened the withdrawal agreement which includes the backstop and britain's exit terms from the eu and no 10 ruled out holding a further referendum, andi out holding a further referendum, and i think any significant movement on customs arrangements with the eu, which labour would like to see in the future would annoy and enrage any conservative mps and it would be counter—productive. the prime minister will discuss the changes with her cabinet this weekend then make a speech later this week. we have a bit of an indication this morning as to what labour would want to see and how likely they would be to see and how likely they would be to vote for the deal on the basis of some of the changes. the prime minister has been talking about. from jeremy corbyn the labour leader speaking to the andrew marr show

earlier. we have had indicative votes before and we had the dominic grieve proposals in which there were non—binding indicative votes, which actually nothing was agreed at the end of it. i think it's unlikely that it will actually take us much further forward. i think the government has to come up with legislation through negotiation with the eu, and at the moment the extension goes on till the end of october. but the idea they can produce a bill at the beginning of june and get it through all of its stages by the end ofjuly is... very difficult. very unlikely. are very unlikely, jeremy corbyn saying, in terms of the government getting by the brexit deadline at the end of october. he mentioned indicative votes at the start. that's something the prime minister has suggested she could hold to hold to try to find a majority in parliament on those areas where labour and the government were not able to find agreement during cross—party talks that broke down. butjeremy corbyn sounding sceptical there about that. obviously as this goes on we are

looking ahead to the european elections happening this coming thursday, which has set the backdrop to this debate about theresa may's last chance to get her brexit deal through, and the idea of a further public vote being something that could help. as i said, downing street ruled that out. but we are now seeing something of a split emerging between the remain focused parties, the lib dems and change uk, about whether another public vote would be possible and how it could happen. speaking for change uk this morning jacket and suggested there really isn't time for another referendum. i've come to the view that we are now at a point where we are going to need to revoke article 50. and let me explain to you why. there are two very important things that have happened. first of all, the beginning of these european election campaigns we had time to provide for a people's vote on what happens on brexit, which would take at least five to six months. we now no longer have the time to do that by 31st october when we are due to crash out.

so we need to stop the clock to allow that to happen. and the second thing is, an important thing that happened since your show last week, which is that the prime minister announced she will be bringing the withdrawal agreement back in the week of 3rd june, and if she fails to get it through, which is almost certain she will not get it through, then she is setting out a timetable for her departure. and what you are seeing now is contenders for the conservative party leadership falling over themselves to say they will take us out come what may and october without a deal. at the end of october without a deal. faced with that, no deal and revocation, you have got to revoke. as for the liberal democrats who have been polling a bit higher than change uk, suggesting they could be cutting through better than some had expected them to with the stock brexit message, liberal democrat leader vince cable saying this morning despite what chuka umunna said there, there may well be time to hold a further referendum if it's donein to hold a further referendum if it's done in the right way. let's listen to what he had to say. welcome it may come to that. really? if we get

to the end of october and it has not been resolved that may be the way. would that not be an outrageous way to deal with the situation, that parliament cancels the result of the 2016 referendum and says it is void, we don't agree with you? it wouldn't be outrageous but it would be unsatisfactory. we got into this mess because of a referendum and that's the only way to get out of it. -- that's the only way to get out of it. —— wouldn't be unsatisfactory. disagreement on both sides, which we are getting used to. what you will see from the prime minister in the coming days is an attempt to tempt particularly labour mps and get some more of her mps on side with that you offer she has promised this week. but it is a big promise to live up to. jonathan blake, thank you very much, jonathan blake, thank you very much, jonathan blake, thank you very much, jonathan blake, our political correspondent. 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. 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 1,000 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 on a much smaller scale than a year ago. 1,000 extra services are 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 learned lessons from what happened last summer and they've worked together to put them into practice. they herald the introduction of the winter timetable in december as a success for example, but they will be monitoring these latest changes very closely and say they will be able to respond quickly if there are problems, extra staff will also 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. 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 — it's 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 1,800 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 that 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. 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. our correspondent, david sillito was there. from tel aviv, israel, this is the grand final of the eurovision song contest, 2019! on stage, it was business as usual. but off—screen there were protests from those opposed to israel's occupation of the palestinian territories. chanting: taking part in eurovision means you join a racist mission! 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 injerusalem, police tackled orthodox protesters angered religious protesters angered that the contest was

being held on the sabbath. in the end there were no major protests. the programme passed largely without incident. the uk's michael rice sang with gusto, but ended up in last place. and after days of doubts, madonna did perform, but fans were not sure if this was a douze points performance. the winner was duncan laurence of the netherlands, and among the fans he had been a firm favourite from the beginning. thank you. 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 new national rail summer timetable comes into effect today — train companies say they've learned lessons from weeks of chaos on the network last summer.

a bbc investigation finds a fall in the number of prosecutions for revenge porn even though there are more reported incidents. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's olly. news that will interest to manchester city fans. yes, this all moved very quickly this morning, after many years at manchester city vincent company has played his last game for the club, he made the decision after the unprecedented domestic treble with victory over watford in the fa cup final yesterday. in an open letter to the fans he says the time is right and to the fans he says the time is rightand in to the fans he says the time is right and in the last couple of minutes he announced what doing next. he's going to return to the belgian club where it all started for him in his career at the age of six, hejoined his local club

anderlecht, one of the brussels clu bs. anderlecht, one of the brussels clubs. they put it on social media ina very clubs. they put it on social media in a very snazzy video. he is going to be their player manager next season after coming through the youth ranks, and went on to hamburg before joining manchester city 11 yea rs before joining manchester city 11 years ago. so he is going back. and he says he wants to play in the style that manchester city play. so, exciting times for anderlecht. let's bring in the former city player paul lake. 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. if you think about when he came into the club he was an unknown quantity for city fans and mancunians alike but the combination of understanding where city are at, and you can

define that because he is married to a city fan as well, he is not only been able to establish himself but ingratiated himself into the community, and on the back of that he won the hearts and minds of all city fans and his team—mates and managers alike. it's been an absolute privilege for city fans to learn about him, get to know him, and everyone has embraced him with open arms because of the personality he is. four league titles, two fa cups, four league cups, he couldn't really have given any more, it is a fantastic way for him to be bowing out, and brilliant that he has seen at the climax to the season, because injuries were beginning to catch up with him at the age of 33. that's right. he has been a consummate pro in so faras right. he has been a consummate pro in so far as keeping himself as fit as he can be, and he's been an ever present captain weather on the grass or off the grass, but certainly the season for him has been very tough.

having this long—standing calf problem, which may have seen lots of other professionals off, but his grit, determination and that desire he has shown, has meant that he has never given up hope of coming back and being that same player. he felt he wouldn't be the level of footballer that he is i'm sure perhaps he would have called it a day and become a manager. but it just shows you the will and the character that he has, he's only managed to finish the season in the starting 11, as probably aside aymeric laporte, the go to centre half, but he's the captain and the leader and the season culminated in that goal, which will be forever in the hearts and minds of city fans alongside the aguero goal. the hearts and minds of city fans alongside the aguero goalm the hearts and minds of city fans alongside the aguero goal. it was amazing, ten days ago, that goal against leicester to keep them ahead of liverpool in the title race going into the final weekend. so, we understand he had this one—year

extension on the table from city should he want it. he's gone for this new challenge returning to anderlecht. so much speculation about what vincent company could do, suchis about what vincent company could do, such is his standing. some people say he could go into politics. he could be anything he wanted to be. but going down the management route, still so much to give to the game, what kind of manager do you think he will be? he is someone brought up now, you would argue, on the purest football, the fact that pep guardiola has taken every player under his stewardship to the next level. that is what basically he has done with vincent. at the same time they understands the belgian league, he was obviously brought up in that environment of playing football, different positions, and being able to use the football really intelligently. he's gone from there into the bundesliga again, an open

and exciting football style, and from roberto mancini who is defensively minded to the engineer manuel pellegrini, to pep guardiola, so he's been guided and nurtured through different environments and been able to, because he has the intelligence as well, he's been able to embrace all of that and he will have mapped out the individual manager he tends to be —— intends to be. and he will not only be able to develop a side that can play attacking football and can attack from the back, rather than teams thinking about defending from the front, he will be able to do that, but at the same time he will have that learning style to be able to speak different languages, entice english players, british players, to come over to belgium and be able to guide individuals. he understands the importance of the academy system and the importance of home—grown players, so he will embed a philosophy. he is already left a

legacy at manchester city so if he can bind all of that knowledge and learning he has been able to take along with him, i'm sure he will nurture a side in anderlecht which will go from strength to strength and will compete being one of the top sides, as you argued, notjust in belgium but in european football too. paul, many thanks indeed. paul la ke too. paul, many thanks indeed. paul lake with the news that vincent company is leaving manchester city. he will become player manager in anderlecht in the belgian league where it all began for him in his career from the where it all began for him in his careerfrom the age where it all began for him in his career from the age of six. that's all this but for now. more in the next hour. olly foster, thanks very much indeed. the us president donald trump has set out his personal beliefs about abortion, following a week in which several us states passed new laws restricting the procedure. in a statement on twitter, he said, "all human life is precious." mr trump confirmed

that he was pro—life — or, anti—abortion — but said he did support abortion in specific circumstances. our correspondentjohn mcmanus joins me now. we have waited a while to hear from president trump since these momentous events in alabama in particular. talk us through what he has been saying. these tweets from president trump came over and when the east coast and west coast of the united states wake up they will look at them closely and scan for clues about what he means and what he's talking about. i think some people who will be happy to a certain degree are a large part of his voter base, the evangelical christians, more than 80% of whom voted for him last time round and who also voted for him at the mid—term elections. they are part of a core group of voters who are trying to push for more restrictive abortion laws across the united states. they have been successful but they have been trying to do this since the 19705. in the last few weeks we have seen more restrictive laws in states such

as ohio, missi55ippi, kentucky, alabama, as you say, now president trump has laid his cards on the table but they won't be entirely happy with what he has said because although he said he was pro—life he 5aid although he said he was pro—life he said there were exceptions where he 5aid said there were exceptions where he said he thought abortion was acceptable, for example if the pregnancy was as a result of rape, incest, or if carrying the pregnancy to full term would endanger the life of the mother. many evangelical christians and some catholics as well will not be happy about that, but will it mean they will turn away from him? i don't think so. they know they have their man in the white house who is advancing their particular conservative traditional moral agenda and this is proof of that. the conservative traditional moral agenda, in that, the supreme court in the united states has a lwa y5 court in the united states has always been absolutely crucial on ruling on issues like abortion and that's the case now, presumably as well, isn't it? that's where many anti—abortion activists hope this eventually going to end up, so to

give some of the background, the abortion laws were settled for a time in 1973 abortion laws were settled for a time in1973 in abortion laws were settled for a time in 1973 in a famous case of roe versu5 time in 1973 in a famous case of roe ver5u5 wade brought by a texas woman who used the pseudonym jane roe and 5he who used the pseudonym jane roe and she had tried to have an abortion in texas but refused because of the laws after she was raped. up until about 2k weeks of pregnancy a woman was entitled to have an abortion. the moral majority, the conservative right, many of mr trump's voters have been pushing to have that overturned and we have seen they have had some success in local state legislatures in the past weeks. they are hoping that they in turn will be challenged by pro—abortion activist and that this will eventually go back to the supreme court where there is now a conservative majority, not least because president trump very recently appointed brett kavanaugh, a conservative leaning judge, so they

hope this will be settled there in their favour. john mcmanus, thank you very much indeed. the european union elections take place on thursday — this weekend, we've been looking at the key issues affecting voters in the uk's nations. our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, report5 from peeble5 in the borders, to see what voters there would like politicians to prioritise. scotland is one big constituency when it comes to the european elections. from the cities of the central belt to scotland's islands, from the mountains and the highlands, to here in the borders, 5ix seats are up for grabs. we are starting with mountain bikers, in a race around the issues that are vexing voter5. this sport is a popular pastime in the countryside around peeble5. there is a lot of positive work going on in this area at the moment to develop tourism, to really put the scottish

borders on the map. and that is influencing how you vote in the eu elections? i think so. i feel that as long as we are in europe we clearly need to have representation. i think there can only be one core issue, really, in the european elections, and that's brexit. and i think that's probably how people will vote. so what of brexit? three years ago a majority in scotland voted to stay part of the eu, but there are strong feelings on both sides and the temperature of the debate remains high. i'm going to vote for anything that says i want out of europe, regardless of my allegiances to other parties in the past. we don't want a brexit, so that would be about it, that would sum it up. that's the issue you will be deciding to vote on? we just want to stay as we are. i've got my voting card but i haven't a clue what to do. why is that? because i thought we weren't going to have any european elections! since the last european election five years ago, scot5 have gone to the polls plenty of times, including to vote in a referendum

on scottish independence. that debate is ongoing. so might it play a role in the decision people face? over 60% of people voted to remain in this country and if they truly do want to remain i think there is only one real option for that to happen. what's that? independence. i disagree. that's fine. well, i'm welsh, i'm not scottish, i wouldn't vote for scottish independence, i don't think it's the right way to go. i think overwhelmingly for this particular election, i'd like to send a strong message to westminster, you know, about how unimpressed we are about the way they've handled brexit. turnout for the european parliamentary elections tends to be low, but the mood music for this one — strong opinions from some, angerfrom others, and much warine55 about the election ahead.

lorna gordon, bbc news, peeble5 in the scottish borders. and you can find more news and analysis on the eu elections over on the bbc news website. lots of interesting detail for you there. some new5 ju5t lots of interesting detail for you there. some newsjust coming into us from south yorkshire police. they are saying that a 16—year—old boy has been shot in sheffield and i5 boy has been shot in sheffield and is in boy has been shot in sheffield and i5ina boy has been shot in sheffield and is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. they are saying detectives have launched an investigation following a shooting in the spittal hill area of sheffield in the early hours of this morning, the early hours of sunday morning. this was around just after midnight, 1210! am, emergency services called to spittal lane and he was treated for a gunshot wound in hospital. his condition is
