i'm victoria derbyshire. welcome to the programme. our top story today: northern ireland's democratic unionist party, the dup, say they're close to reaching a deal with the conservatives to keep theresa may in power. we'll bring you the details. also on the programme: every single tower block that's had its external cladding tested so far has failed fire safety tests. the key priority for us has got to be to keep people safe and that is why we are making sure this process works as quickly as possible. that was the housing minister. labour's shadow chancellor john mcdonnell says victims of the grenfell tower fire were murdered by political decisions taken over decades. is he right? also on the programme: two months after we revealed 800 women were suing the nhs for debilitating pain caused by vaginal mesh implants, surgeons tell us that nhs england is using mesh to repair hernias which also leaves many patients in chronic pain. it is as ifi it is as if i have been stabbed with something hot. i don't want to eat. i don't want to venture

with the general election under a week away, my colleague victoria derbyshire has been organising a seriesndidate in that election. i was raised to hate the tories. there are still some who i think are three—headed monsters. i feel slightly anxious about going out with somebody, i don't know who it is. i wouldn't want it to be anyone boring. i'm john whittingdale, the parliamentary candidate for maldon, in essex. my confession to you is that i'm taking a night off in the election campaign to go and see iron maiden at the 02. hello! how are you? we have put more money into education. when people say that, i look around and wonder where it has gone. it is not my children's school. it is notjust university education. all of the college funding has gone. there have been cuts. these are things that really matter. again, we get back to every problem. you could be spending more money on it but the problem is, in every area , money on it but the problem is, in every area, you want to spend more money. i want to spend more money on the kids in my constituency, danny! but i want to get the economy w

speaking on the victoria derbyshire programme earlier he said he was hoping for the best but preparingmentally taken. too many tragedies happening all at one time. just pulling together and doing the best we can do for our community and see what we can do to help out. so you live very close to the g re nfell tower. up g re nfell tower. up close? i can see from a garden so i could actually smell the fire when i was i could actually smell the fire when iwas in i could actually smell the fire when i was in my garden, yeah. so when did you first know about fire? properly just after 11 o'clock. fire? properlyjust after 11 o'clock. and then i got a very cool from a younger brother saying there is a fire in grenfell tower —— phone call. and just call around, call friends to see everyone is safe. and to kind of like see what we could do to kind of like see what we could do to help out so she initially went down there just to help out victims who had left the building and help evacuate the area as well. so this was the morning after. this was the night that it happened. so, you sort of saudi...

a month ago, connie and chris were here with us on victoria derbyshire to talk about their fight for ive? yeah. so, he hasn‘t got anything to lose, and we know that, even if it doesn‘t work, which i think it will, we know that we‘ve done everything that we can for him. like, we don‘t want to live with that what if. they could have done... they could have tried the treatment here. and you know, we've had to stomach the fact that they don't want to do the treatment here. 0k, we don't agree with that, but we have to accept that. but the fact that they are blocking us from taking him to another hospital in the world with one of the leading experts in this area... who‘s a neurologist. i still to this day cannot get my head around. we took him into that hospital. they don't want to do the treatment, but there is somewhere around there that does, and they basicallyjust kept him a prisoner there, and our parental rights have been completely stripped, the minute we took him in there, in hindsight, we lost him, because, you know, they've. .. they've got complete responsibility for him. when we

they spoke exclusively to my colleague victoria derbyshire and described a "lifetime of struggle" in to leave. was their physical violence? no. and i think that's why we were so blind to our situation. we were both looking for physical violence. all of us were. that was our sign that it was abuse. so, i think like you said, the ratcheting away over decades. we did not realise in that situation, we did not understand it for what actually it was. that's one of the messages we want to get out. physical violence is not the only sign of domestic abuse. quite often there is no physical violence. in our case, people would have seen it as may be just a normal family. dad who was a bit angry sometimes? people used the word is protective and expose to us it was euphemistic. he was protective but he would never let us protect ourselves. if there was a bruise, we could go to the police? was that your thought? mum was recording everything he did in a diary. we had it all written down but the things we had written down we re but the things we had written down were like, en masse. you could may be

i'm victoria derbyshire, welcome to the programme. after all the way to come election day is finally here. leaders are all voting this morning — we'll bring you those pictures as they come in. internet scammers keep finding new ways to trick you out of your cash, but networks of volunteers are fighting back. i hear that i have won the lottery! yes, you need to see the information we require from you for me to process your file. i am an agent for the promotion, the payment department agent assigned to your payment. we will hear from some cyber security experts on how to protect yourself. and the teenager who had the presence of mind to start recording with her mobile phone when a man attacked her. start recording with her mobile phone when a man attacked herli switch the recording on my phone and the light as well, and i thought, if he sees i am recording, i said, i am recording you, i am recording you, he will run off, it would scare him off, and he wouldn't want to get caught. but he didn't care at all. we will hear from 19—year—old

hello, i'm victoria derbyshire. it is 10am, as duke can hearfrom big ben!pport for her leadership. iam i am pleased that people from across the party have agreed to serve in my cabinet, and we're going to be getting on with the job of government. and with a record number of 18—to—25—year—olds voting this time round, what can we learn from last week's election? the clear message, both from brexit and from so many young people voting, is that people are fed up of business as normal. they don't want the political elite, of which i'm inevitably —— i can't attach myself from it, they don't want them to carry on as normal. they were backed by 40% of the electorate, but it wasn't enough to get them into government. labour says they will keep on fighting. last week's general election was full of twists and turns. but who were the winners and losers? we'll be speaking to some of them shortly. we will be analysing what is going to happen over the next seven days as we head to the start of the next brexit negotiations. we will talk to more politicians, we have a group
