we've come to the university of cambridge to talk to clinical psychologist simon baron cohen. part of his research focuses on how gender affects human behavior in general and the brain in particular. we've been looking sex differences in the mind between males and females on average and one of tests that we use is where you have to find a shape that's hidden in a design as quickly as you can and we find that on average man are faster at finding this target hidden in the overall design. baron cohen and his colleagues conducted behavioral studies of children and adults. since they started by testing hormone levels in numerous samples of amniotic fluid the liquid that helps protect the fetus in the womb. we've measured the testosterone during the pregnancy in the womb in the amniotic fluid so this is the baby in the womb and some women during pregnancy have a clinical procedure called amniocentesis where a needle goes into that fluid to take out some of the florence and we can measure testosterone in the fluid and babies vary in terms of how much of the hormone they are exposed to

in some universities, cambridge would be a good example, stu d e nts cambridge would be a good example, students will find a university that is really focusing on the data, analysing the scale ofthey have a real handle on it, whereas in other places they don't even know how much they are spending. they are not maintaining and monitoring of data, not collecting the data, and in that way i think students' experience is com pletely i think students' experience is completely different across the country. university say they already plan a voluntary mental health charter and need the nhs to provide more effective care for students. liverpool university said it was deeply saddened by keira's death, and is working with the health service on changes. coming up at 6:00am on breakfast, louise minchin and dan walker will have all the day's news, business and sport. this is the briefing from bbc news. the latest headlines: britain's prime minister is to meet the european commission president for a working lunch later. he is expected to make clear for the first time in face—to—face talks that he will reject any offer to further delay brexit. oil prices have risen sharply on international m

let's speak now with catherine barnard, professor of law at cambridge university. n we take each of those scenarios one by one so we can fully understand what is ultimately at sta ke understand what is ultimately at stake here? let's start with the first one, it is notjudicial bull, what would that mean? if they say that, the court has no power to rule on it, that is essentially what the high court of england and wales said, completely contrary to what the scots court say and it would be a huge sigh of relief for boris johnson but it would make the scottish administration really very ci’oss scottish administration really very cross because it would pave the way for nicola sturgeon, to say, scottish courts are ignored in england and therefore we should be thinking about having a further referendum. the second option, if it rules that it is just visible but lawful? i think this is the route they may eventually go down, it means the court will check that in extreme cases that there should not be an abuse of power but they may say that a five point corrode is... not whi

let's try and pick through the legal arguments with two professors of law from cambridge university. johnson did, do you buy that?” think i do. it was persuasive in the court in england and this morning sirjames eadie was very persuasive, i thought, in pointing out once the courts get into the business of seeing how long a prorogation could be, there is no guidance. how can you say five weeks is too much but four is too little? it essentially is not a judge —— job forjudges, they need to be clear and defined standards. one of the judges did intervene and say what if parliament we re intervene and say what if parliament were prorogue for a year? surely that would be too long?” were prorogue for a year? surely that would be too long? i think everybody would agree it would be too long but that does not necessarily follow that there wouldn't be other remedies. for example the government would run out of money if it did not call parliament back. and there would be all sorts of difficulties with the armed forces. and so forth, if parliament was not called back. anotherjudge also raised the

and legal commentatorjeremy brier with me and also professor alison young, professor of public law at cambridge universityboth. jeremy, first of all, what are we expecting today and how important will today be in these proceedings? today is an absolutely critical day, particularly for the government. they had a difficult time yesterday. lord pannick was on his feet yesterday morning for gina miller, putting that case against the government as to why fluoridation was unlawful and why it effectively stymied parliamentary solidarity. —— why prorogation. today i think they will start with the question of where can the court get involved and where does the court will draw the line and say, this is actually not a legal matter anymore, this is about politics and policy, and that will be the real ci’ux policy, and that will be the real crux of sirjames eadie plus max emissions this morning. is that how you see it, alison young? yes, i think he will look at the legal standard that lord pannick suggested and say that there is no legal standard present. we have heard about proper purpose and improper purpose. there

let's talk about what he's been saying to a representative from the university of oxford faculty of law, chris forsyth from cambridgeh, all sorts of things, robert burns but then he talked about how it wasn'tjust the intent of proroguement parliament, suspending parliament, it was the effect of suspending parliament and he said it was done with improper purpose and with bad faith. exactly, i think he was picking up on comments made on the first day, enquiring as to what exactly the difference would be between the intent of the prime minister when he chose to prorogued parliament and the effect, inviting those submissions and i think this is what has been picked up on today. the effect that parliament cannot scrutinise the brexit process, that's the argument. ultimately, parliament would be able to hold parliament would be able to hold parliament to account for all sorts of things, like statutory instruments and in the final insta nce instruments and in the final instance parliament couldn't hold a motion of no confidence. massive amount of difference to the usual parliamentary procedures. chris, from cambridge unive
