What impact would a no deal brexit have on the pensioners living here in spain . Many feel abandoned by the British Government. More later. Good morning and welcome to the bbc news at 9. The government says it is intensifying negotiations with the eu to try to find a new brexit agreement, as the uk prepares to leave in two months time, with or without a deal. Government negotiators will meet their counterparts in brussels twice a week in september, in a bid to break the deadlock ahead of a crucial summit in october. Meanwhile the court of session scotlands highest civil court will rule this morning on whether to grant an emergency injunction, to prevent the suspension of parliament. A similar legal challenge is beginning in front and protests are being planned across the country this weekend, as cross Party Efforts to block a no deal brexit also intensify before Parliament Resumes on tuesday. Lets get more on all of this with our political correspondent, jonathan blake, whos in westminsterfor us. Morning to you jonathan. So, more meetings between uk and eu officials from next week, so there is a process but can there be progress, given that number ten says the two sides remain some diss tans apart on key issues . That is the reality check, although there is a willingness on the uk and the eu side to talk, and talk more regularly, just how much progress the talks are going to make isnt clear. As you say, the two sides are a significant distance apart on that crucial issue of the Northern Ireland backstop, which is there to prevent a hard border between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland, which will be the border between the uk and the eu, if in the future a trade deal cant be done, but the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson says he has been encouraged by his recent meetings with Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel and it is some time, as he says to up the tempo so there will be twice weekly meetings between officials in brussels as the two sides try to begin to find some common ground. At this late stage in the process, that could potentially lay the ground for a new deal to be done, and a formal agreement to be made, at the eu summit, which is scheduled for mid october. But there is no sense that there is any breakthrough expected before then, and that these talks are at something of a tentative level at this stage. A downing street source described it as not wanting to go on to the pitch for the start of a football match and be shown the red card, as soon as play begins, so, it is very much at the ground work stage, and taking advantage the uk side at least hopes of what they see of something of a retorical shift in the way the eu and eu leaders have been talking, not simply saying no, we cant do any deals here, it is this, take it oi any deals here, it is this, take it or leave it, but maybe there is room for common ground, but a long way as i say from any agreement being reached. 50 what is happening then with cross Party Efforts to prevent a no dealjonathan . With cross Party Efforts to prevent a nodealjonathan . Well, westminster is gearing up for an incredibly busy week when mps return next tuesday, and those on the opposition benches, labour, the snp, the liberal democrats, and some conservatives as well, who are keen at any cost, to stop a no deal brexit, are figuring out exactly how they are going to try and do that, in the now very limited Time Available to them after Boris Johnsons decision to suspend parliament from the week beginning 9th septemberfor parliament from the week beginning 9th september for five weeks or so. They dont have much time left and the exact plan of how they are going to try and force the government into avoiding or stopping a no deal brexit come the end of october, if a new agreement cant be reached isnt clear, but a key figure has been talking this morning, oliver letwin, now backbench conservative mp, who was a crucialfigure in now backbench conservative mp, who was a crucial figure in the now backbench conservative mp, who was a crucialfigure in the previous attempt, which saw theresa may have to go to brussels and ask for an extension when she couldnt get her deal through, he is heavily involved in the planning this time round and has explained the plan is broadly speaking again to force the Prime Minister to ask for an extentsome town the brexit process, if he cant get a new deal. I hope that parliament will take a series of actions in a proper orderly way, that by the end of the week mean that borisjohnson knows, that as Prime Minister, he has the backing of many, many of us to get a deal, but that if he doesnt get a deal he will have to seek an extension. Theres an irony here, i should just mention, which is if he does get a deal, as a matter of fact he will need an extension any way, because its impossible to take from the late october stage a deal which is sort of written down but not solemnised and implemented in just a very few days. Sion he said it would be foolhardy to predict, have the numbers to succeed in their plan, and it is going to be touch and go for them, because although they have the common aim of wanting to prevent no deal, they wa nt wanting to prevent no deal, they want different thing, whether its another referendum or stop brexit, and it has been difficult for them to work together, with a common purpose so far, but that plan will unfold, probably with a request for an emergency debate to the speaker when mps return from their summer break on tuesday. Thank you thank you very much. Lets get the view from the eu now. Our europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas is in helskini where eu Foreign Ministers are meeting. The other side of the coin what do the eu think about the extra meetings happening from next month . Are we to read anything into that or is it that both sides are getting ever more aware of the ticking clock . Well, they are very aware of the ticking clock what are we to read into it. I would overread, i wouldnt read in this idea there is this progress happening, that there isa this progress happening, that there is a sort of dynamic out there, that is a sort of dynamic out there, that is not the case, what is the case, is not the case, what is the case, is that what we have heard this morning from eu ministers here, is that gathering for this meeting in helsinki, is they are open to listening to anything. Now, we heard first of all from the British Foreign secretary, dominic raab, he came and we asked him as he arrived about this government decision to suspend parliament and the question i put to him was is this simply about trying to avoid parliamentary scrutiny . Well actually, weve had one of the longest parliamentary sittings in, i think its almost 400 years. Weve been talking about nothing but brexit, were going to get a chance to scrutinise all aspects of brexit between now and the end of october. Only about two or three days at the end of october. One second no, not quite right. Theres going to be time before the october council and after it, and i think its only something. Before the october council will be the queens speech. Can i answer your question. I think its only Something Like four days less than we would otherwise have had. Only about two or three days at the end of october. One second no, not quite right. Theres going to be time before the october council and after it, and i think its only something. Before the october council will be the queens speech. But you say four days left, foreign secretary. Theres been no agreement yet about a recess even, so four days less is not correct to say that. That would be the number of days broadly that will be lost. So i think the idea that this is some kind of constitutional outrage is nonsense its actually lawful. Its perfectly proper, theres precedent for it, but actually, fundamentally for the people watching this, they want to see were leaving the eu, but also talking about all the other things they expect us to be addressing, that is what this government will be doing. What eu ministers said, eu Foreign Ministers they are focussed on attempt to avoid no deal. That is the question they had for mr rab, what they made clear is that while they are happy and waiting to negotiate as much as possible in the coming week, up to five days a week was possible they said, the crucial thing is that oh no credible alternatives have been tables by the British Government in any negotiations in brussels, this is what the Irish Foreign minister had to say to me. At the moment nothing credible has come from the British Government in the context of an alterntive to to the context of an alterntive to to the backstop, and you know, if that changes, great, well look at it in dublin, but more importantly, it can be the basis of a discussion in brussels, but it has to be credible. I cant simply be this notion that look, we must have the backstop removed and we will solve this problem in the future negotiation, without any credible way of doing that. Thats not going to fly and i think its important we are honest about that. Damian, i dont think any of the eu fishes are saying that they are feeling particularly pressured but one senior german politician arguing overnight that the eu shouldnt let itself feel pressured by borisjohnsons decision to suspend parliament. Is that a press conference last night view . Prevalent view. What what they have been saying is that the decision to suspend parliament is a british issue, that parliamentary processes a re british issue, that parliamentary processes are a uk government issue and what the eu side care about, is getting a deal, but that means a negotiation process and what they made very clear, i have to say, is the Irish Foreign secretary, and the other Foreign Ministers that the fundamental aspects that the eu is sticking to, do not change, so there has to be a solution to that irish border issue, and also, broadly, that the Withdrawal Agreement as it stands will not change, the eu side are absolutely clear about that, and the timetable also means that has to be the case, there isnt the time to make major revision, there can only be small things but they cannot, the eu insist still breach its fundamental red lines in the negotiations, so that means the space for a deal is very small, and still, it is the onus is on the uk government to table something, which it hasnt done yet. 0k. Thank you very much. In the next hour, a scottishjudge will give his ruling on a legal attempt to block the suspension of the parliament. Lord doherty heard arguments yesterday, from representatives of a Cross Party Group seeking an interim interdict that would halt the move by the government. The same argument is also being submitted to Northern Irelands most senior judge in belfast this morning. The risk of Breast Cancer from menopausal hormone therapy is more than double what women are curretly being told. Mht replaces oestragen and progesterone two hormones that decrease in women during the menopause to alleviate some of the symptoms. Now, researchers at the university of oxford say the risks last up to ten years after therapy ends, and means one in every 50 women on the combined hormone treatment will develop Breast Cancer. There are other types of hormone replacement therapy and each of those showed an increased risk too. Our health and science correspondent, James Gallagher reports. Louise rivers started having symptoms of the menopause three years ago. She said she lost her brain and was struggling to work. Herjoints ached, she was not sleeping well and she began to get migraines. Louise said starting hormone therapy last year was a difficult decision, but the right one. I definitely feel as if my concentration levels are back where they were a few years ago. I feel a lot more confident working. I still have a few bad days here and then, still get some migraines, but overall i feel much better taking it than i did when i was not taking it. It has long been known that menopausal hormone therapy increases the risk of cancer. The latest study shows that the increased risk lasts over a decade after stopping the drug and the dangers are twice as high as previously thought. It means for every 50 50 year olds taking daily oestrogen and progesterone therapy for five years, one would develop cancer before they turn 70. We dont want to give them false reassurance about the risks with it. What we hope is that women would use this information to make a much more informed decision about whether or not they want to start taking or perhaps continue taking hrt. Louise says she found the latest findings concerning, but that she would not panic. Taking hormones improved her quality of life and she plans to chat to her consultant at their next appointment. Lets speak now to dr louise newsom. Shes a gp and a specialist in the menopause. Very good to have you with us this morning. Based on this study will you still be prescribing hrt for your patients. Absolutely, and i ta ke your patients. Absolutely, and i take it myself. It is not a new study, it is looking at past evidence. When it says there is a double risk, there is no proof. They are saying it could be. This is an important message. It is not all types of hrt and it is not for all ages, the other thing we need to think about is going through the menopause increases a womans risks of os borrow session, dementia, depression and we need to look at the bigger picture, when i counsel and talk to women and hrt, even though and i will do, it is looking at other risks, a lot of women have an increased risks of Breast Cancer because their Lifestyle Changes during the menopause, putting on weight, not exercising and Drinking Alcohol are also risks and a lot of women change their lifestyle because the menopause affects them so adversely. Is there evidence by adopting a healthier lifestyle that can mitigate any potential risks from taking hrt . Absolutely, and we also know that reducing the risk of Heart Disease, by taking hrt, there is good evidence for that, reducing the risk of osteoporosis, even bowl cancer, it is looking at a womens benefit as well as risks as well. And it has to be very balanced. Skydiving has risks but women enjoy it. Driving a car has risk, so it is not just concentrating it. Driving a car has risk, so it is notjust concentrating on the risks, seven times more women dido from Heart Disease and that Breast Cancer. This study hasnt shown an increase risk of deaths from Breast Cancer. That is important. We have known for a while that some women pick up. So your advice clearly to women is not to panic about this. Absolutely. Would you tell them go and talk do your gp, give them that advice . I have put information on my website and on my social media which summarises this, the British Menopause Society on their website have a great statement, summarising it. And it isjust a shame it has been picked up without looking at the bigger picture, Womens Health is suffering. I see a lot of suicidal women that improve with hrt. The researchers in this study say the risks last up to ten years after the risks last up to ten years after the therapy ends, is that element of this study new or was that already known . It is very hard, and this doesnt prove either, i think this is the whole thing it is a study, it is the whole thing it is a study, it is not a randomised controlled study, most women take hrt in the long term, the nice guidance are very clear that for the majority of the women, the benefits outweight the women, the benefits outweight the weigh the risks and we can ta ke the weigh the risks and we can take it in the long time. That guidance doesnt need to change because of this information out today. Thank you very much. The headlines on bbc news.
