knew that she was 16 when he first asked her out. he knew before we ever went on our first date. so when we met initially and he took my number and asked me out on a date, he didn't... he hadn't asked me, but he didn't know. so i texted him prior to, because he said to me he knew that i was stalling on agreeing on a date with him. and he said, "why aren't you?" he said, "what's going on? like, why don't you want to go out with me?" i said, "because i've got something to tell you." i said, "i'm16." and he just replied saying, "ok, so we're still on fordinnerat 7:30." and how old was he? he was 30. what do you want to say about that now, as an older woman? what is... now that i'm in my 305, looking at 16—year—olds, i can't even imagine finding them sexually attractive. i can't imagine even thinking of them as that, you know, a potential mate in any way. it just seems the only feelings i have towards them are maternal, protective feelings.

i couldn't even imagine... you just don't even put them into that category in your head. as i became an older woman and began reaching the same age as him, that's when i really started to feel angry. and felt like what had happened wasn't "consensual", in inverted commas, or how would you describe that? because although it's technically legal, the power imbalance — which is what you're referring to there — is huge in this. yeah. and just because, you know, he was telling me that i'm a very intelligent woman, i'm mature, being intelligent doesn't mean that you're not naive and that you're not vulnerable, and that you don't have the life experiences and your brain isn't fully developed. the former british prime minister liz truss has defended last year's mini—budget, saying she was trying to get the british economy on a better trajectory. in a speech this morning, she urged the government to cut taxes, shrink welfare spending and raise

the retirement age. ms truss contended there had been 25 years of "economic consensus", which needed to be "shattered". levels of taxation are too high. that means our economy is now stagnating. people talk about the productivity puzzle, but it is really not a puzzle. if there is not enough incentive to go out and set “p enough incentive to go out and set up a business to take risks, to compete or even work, that is a problem. with more on this, here's our uk political correspondent rob watson. liz truss was seeking to defend her

government policies from last year and to revive those ideas. i will number ten feel about that? i and to revive those ideas. i will number ten feel about that? i think this was liz — number ten feel about that? i think this was liz truss _ number ten feel about that? i think this was liz truss saying _ number ten feel about that? i think this was liz truss saying not - number ten feel about that? i think this was liz truss saying not only i l this was liz truss saying not only i was right, the markers were wrong everybody else was wrong, but also to fly the flag for that right of centre economics, notjust here in the uk but all around the world, it was a sort of ideological speech about how the solution to low growth is lower taxes, smaller state and deregulation. how will it be seen in downing street? i don't think there will be too bothered. in some ways there is not a massive difference between rishi sunak and liz truss, they are both right of centre politicians by european standards. the belief in the idea of smaller states and lower taxes, but rishi sunak prioritises the idea of fiscal responsibility, in other words that the state should not be spending more than it gets in revenue. what

more than it gets in revenue. what does this tell _ more than it gets in revenue. what does this tell us _ more than it gets in revenue. what does this tell us about _ more than it gets in revenue. what does this tell us about unity in the tory party, is it an issue that her book will come out in april and she is set to stand for election next year? it is set to stand for election next ear? , , ,., . is set to stand for election next ear? , , . ,, year? it is very important issue within the _ year? it is very important issue within the governing _ year? it is very important issue i within the governing conservative party. and beyond britain. in the whole of the western world where these economic questions are being debated. but absolutely within the conservative party because one could imagine either before the next general election in the uk, g probably next year, but more intensively afterwards if the conservatives lose, the debate will pay who is right, who should be running the conservative party, should the conservatives tack back to the middle? it is a key debate, debate, a live debate within the governing conservative party. will

it flare up before the probably not. most conservatives, whether enthusiastically or not, have realised that they will probably be going into the election with rishi sunak. now, this was no ordinary sunday stroll. sports broadcasterjeff stelling and about 300 others yesterday trekked 26 miles from wembley stadium to the home of wycombe wanderers. they were raising money for prostate cancer research, in memory of one of wycombe's most ardent fans, the former bbc breakfast presenter bill turnbull. graham satchell was with them. three, two, one! cheering they're walking from wembley to wycombe — inspired by bill turnbull, it's a marathon to raise money for prostate cancer uk.

it's a year or so since prostate cancer claimed bill's life, you know, so itjust seemed an appropriate tribute to go from wembley — where he enjoyed a couple of great days with wycombe — you know, to wycombe's home at adams park. broadcasting legend jeff stelling has now done 3a so—called football marches, and raised almost £2 million. one man in eight will get prostate cancer in their lifetime — one in four in the cases of black men. it's a phenomenal number. so we just wanted to raise awareness because prostate cancer is an illness that, if you catch it early, perfectly treatable — you know, you can live a normal life. but if you don't catch it early, it can be a killer. so that's what it's all about, really, is raising awareness. it's dank, isn't it? that, for me, is a yellow card. bill turnbull was the match commentator at wycombe wanderers, and a devoted fan. there's a shot... and it's a goal! thank you for letting me - into your home in the morning —

whether it's in the kitchen or the living room or, - as i'm often told, the bedroom. and whether you've been with us for the past... i he was a much—loved presenter of bbc breakfast, sat on the red sofa for 15 years. breakfast back as usual tomorrow from 6.00 —| till then, have a great day. when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he went public, encouraging other men to get tested. for heaven's sake, go . and get yourself tested. if you catch it early, - then that's much better than finding out too late. so bill turnbull was a pioneer. he was one of the first that really told his story. even when he died, we saw huge rises — 61,000 people took our risk checker, we saw 25,000 men referred into the nhs, and we saw 262,000 men last year — that's a 17% increase, which isjust enormous — all down to pioneers like bill and everybody else that's told their stories. nick white is one of those men who was diagnosed early because of bill. nick had surgery four years ago and is now cancer—free.

i do awareness—raising sessions at work, and i always introduce myself as one of bill turnbull�*s cohort of men, always. so i think there are many men like me who were convinced to take action because of him. # i would walk 500..#. almost everyone on this walk has an extraordinary story to tell. kevin webber was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014, and given two years to live. since then, he's run all over the world, raising money for prostate cancer uk. iran two marathons on chemo — week 13 and week 15. i then ran across the sahara. i ran across iceland, the arctic, cambodia, albania. just keep on going. i've run 15,000 miles since i was diagnosed. i will stop when i can't go any more. and that's my message to everyone, really — just keep on going. no—one ever looks back and regrets keeping on going. theyjust regret stopping. so do everything whilst you can. also on the walk, bill's son will turnbull. what would your dad make of all this? i think he would have... yeah, he would love it.

i think, you know, to see so many people sort of all contributing to raising awareness, and i think it's beautiful walk — dad liked to walk, and to end up at wycombe wanderers, at adams park — yeah, i think he'd have loved. as the day wore on, the heavens opened and the going was tough. but finally, after almost 12 hours of walking, covering 26.2 miles, they made it to wycombe wanderers. inside the ground handing out medals — bill's wife, sesi. sesi, can i ask you what you think bill would have made of this? i think he would be amazed. i mean, this was such a special place to him, and meant a great deal. so he would be very, very proud. hundreds and hundreds of strangers brought together in a common cause to fight prostate cancer. graham satchell, bbc news. now it's time for a look

at the weather with chris fawkes. hi there. it's all change weather—wise this week. it's often going to be wet and windy. what about those storms last night that we saw? well, in swindon we had basically a month's worth of rainfall in one hour. there have been reports of flooding from thunderstorms over the last 2a hours. for example, in parts of devon, pretty badly affected here. now, this week, as i say, is going to be unsettled. it's down to a strong jet stream blasting across the atlantic at 150mph. this strong jet stream spawns areas of low pressure that then get squirted away eastwards across the uk, hence the wet and windy weather conditions. today, weather—wise, we've seen a band of rain pushing its way eastwards across england and scotland. it's a day essentially of sunshine and showers. the showers quite frequent across west scotland and northern ireland. bigger gaps between the showers across wales and western england, so there will be some places that stay entirely dry this afternoon, but it will stay quite breezy. overnight, initially the showers fade away, but later in the night we're looking

at a zone of heavier rain moving back in from the west. temperatures overnight quite mild in the south, some cooler and fresher air across the north. over the next couple of days, we'll see some very large rainfall totals building in, particularly across the hills of wales and north—west england. that could bring some localised flooding issues. tuesday is a wet and a windy kind of day. gusty winds for the vast majority of us and those winds could peak at around 60mph gusts into the north—west of wales, blowing this band of rain northwards across northern england, across northern ireland and on into southern and central scotland. our temperatures generally into the high teens for many of us. now, five days ago hurricane lee was spinning around out in the atlantic. since then, it's turned into a normal area of low pressure that brought some wet and windy weather to east canada and the north—east of the united states over the weekend. well, the remnants of that old hurricane are tied in with this area of low pressure that will be moving its way across the uk for wednesday. so another bout of wet and windy weather on the way. the winds particularly squally

and gusty on and just ahead of this weather front, which is a cold front moving across england and wales. we could also see some very strong winds for western scotland. gusts could reach 60mph or 70mph. there's still a bit of uncertainty about the exact strength, itjust depends how deep that area of low pressure is. over the next few days, though, it does stay wet and windy, probably saturday your best chance of staying dry.
