Monroe says the case led to her experiencing a complete and utter brea kdown. Hear that full interview after 10 this morning. Get in touch in the ususal ways. Our top story today the bill giving the government the power to trigger the formal process of leaving the European Union, has cleared its final hurdle in parliament, and will now become law. Meanwhile, Nicola Sturgeon has said she wants to hold a second referendum on Scottish Independence, before the process of brexit is complete. Norman smith is at westminster. Will this call for a second Independence Referendum in scotland mess up theresa mays timetable when it comes to the brexit negotiations . It is certainly a headache and for that reason the overwhelming view is theresa may were absolutely not want to consider a Scottish Independence referendum while she is having to grapple with brexit. She does not wa nt to grapple with brexit. She does not want to be fighting on two france at the same time, it would be politically and extraordinarily difficult feat to pull off. The expectation is any final decision on Scottish Independence and a referendum may be put off until safely after the brexit negotiations are completed and the uk has left the eu. As for brexit itself, theresa may received a significant boost last night by the fact that parliament passed really without much opposition her bill triggering the start of the process. I counted only nine tory mps actually rebelling last night. The House Of Lords pretty much through in the towel straightaway, so where we are, despite all the threats of endless amendments and getting bogged down in the House Of Lords, theresa may has emerged with her bill not amended and to her timetable. Frankly she conceded remarkably little beyond the verbal assurance there will be a vote in two years time. On the Independence Referendum theresa may will have to give permission for that to happen in scotland, otherwise it will really annoy people. Well, the bottom line is theresa may has control of the process. In other words, she is the one who will decide if and when a Scottish Independence referendum ta kes Scottish Independence referendum takes place. The clear signals we are getting at westminster is the government want to play this long, they want to take the steam out of Nicola Sturgeons campaign and they wa nt to Nicola Sturgeons campaign and they want to see the momentum for Scottish Independence slow up. Yes, absolutely not having any referendum before brexit, but even after brexit the government may seek to push it down the line. There have been some suggestions that may be the government could say, lets see if the snp can win another mandate for an Independence Referendum in the Scottish Parliamentary elections in 2021. The thinking is all the time they wanted take some of the head of stea m they wanted take some of the head of steam out of Nicola Sturgeons campaign and slow down the rush and demand for a second referendum. We will talk to a group of voters right across the uk in the next hour or so and your views are very welcome. Joanna is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. A former Prison Employee, who was convicted of Smuggling Phones for inmates, has claimed he was never searched at work.

Children become less active at an earlier age than previously thought, according to new research. It was widely believed that physical exercise started to decline with teenagers. But a study, carried out over eight years in the north east of england, showed that Activity Levels begin to drop among seven year olds, as jane dreaper reports. Children are supposed to be active for an hour every day, but most youngsters dont get enough exercise, and this Study Suggests bad habits start at an earlier age. More than 400 children from gateshead wore an Activity Monitor for a week at a time. Their Exercise Levels were measured at the ages of seven, nine, 12 and 15. Physical activity dropped off from the age of seven onwards, in boys and girls. The orthodox view is that this adolescent decline is not only something which happens at adolescence, so it coincides with puberty or with transition to high school, but also it is something that particularly affects girls. And our study shows that that is clearly not the case. I think what that means in terms of Public Health programmes is programmes and policies and practices all have to focus much earlier, probably around about the time children go to school. Too much time spent looking at screens and sitting down is storing up Health Problems for the future, according to Public Health england. Its campaigning to try and change the fact that one in five children leaves Primary School obese. Jane draper, bbc news.

Sport now with john and we are talking about womens football because the fa have announced plans to increase participation in the womens game. They have made quite a statement. They have made quite a statement. They have made quite a statement. They have said they have let the womens game down following the way in which it was marginalised in the early pa rt in which it was marginalised in the early part of the last century and they want to try and double the numbers of women and girls playing the game by 2020, so they have announced a strategy aimed at improving coaching and improving pathways for younger players to make it through to the top, as well as trying to improve the facilities and coaching as well. Lets hear from the Chief Executive of the fa. One of the jobs of the fa is to promote foot ball of the jobs of the fa is to promote football in the country, whether small sided or 11 sided. It is such a great spot for everyone and frankly half the population, female, have not had as much attention as they might. That has changed in re ce nt they might. That has changed in recent years, but today is about saying, lets be ambitious, lets doubled the number of girls who are playing and make it a mainstream sport. It is hoped that will see a huge improvement in the number of girls and women playing again. Why has the womens game be so overshadowed by the mens . In the early pa rt overshadowed by the mens . In the early part of the last century, certainly during the first world war, the womens game was popular. They sold out grounds and there was a huge amount of interest. But they fa made the decision in 1921 to ban the playing of womens games at all the playing of womens games at all the grounds for 20 years which Com Pletely Stu Nted the grounds for 20 years which completely stunted the game. That changed in the 19605 with the womens fa and the womens fa cup and that boosted the numbers of women playing once again. Then we saw the it was the Fastest Growing 5port saw the it was the Fastest Growing sport in 2005 and we saw the emergence of the womens 5uper league which was launched in 2011. It is hoped now with this implementation of the new plan it would see that addressed and the game continuing to grow once again. What with the fa be expecting to come out of this . They would like to 5ee come out of this . They would like to see the womens team win the world cup by 2023. That is a possibility. Their manager says they could win a major tournament earlier than that and they are targeting the european championships this year. They also wa nt to championships this year. They also want to host a major tournament. That would see an interest within the game and boost participation. The womens team are already exceeding the mens team. They finished third in the world cup in 2015. The results are certainly there and it is expected they will wina there and it is expected they will win a world cup or a major tournament. It has been interesting tournament. It has been interesting to know that gareth southgate, the manager of the england Mens National team has been working alongside the manager of the womens team. It is felt the progress in the womens game is exceeding the mens and this is recognition for that. This morning. As the National Debate continues over whether Police Officers should be more routinely armed, weve had exclusive access to a Firearms Training centre in cheshire, where officers are trained to handle gun5. Its an intensive three month course with many officers not making the grade. By the end of the year, out of a total of 130,000 Police Officers in england and wales, around 7,500 are Firearms Officers, a Record Number aimed at protecting the public from terrorism. Over the next 15 minutes well show you the reality of what its like to undergo training, how officers are taught to make split second life or death decision5, and later in the programme well hear from those who worry we already have too many armed officers. The report contains realistic Training Exercises Featuring Hostage Scenarios, and you will hear repeated sound of gun 5hots. If you think you may find it upsetting, you may want to look away for the next 15 minutes. We wanted to bring you this report to try and give an insight into the kind of Training Officers undergo. The uk will soon have more armed police than ever before, but will they be up to the job . Over three months, weve witnessed Recruit5 Being pushed to the limit. Unacceptable, mate. Armed police, put your hands on the steering wheel. Tested to see if they were capable of carrying a lethal weapon, mentally and physically ready to walk into danger. Have the5e recruit5 got what it takes. To graduate from the Firearms Training school . I am the Exercise Conducting Officer for this Training Event and will be in charge of training site safety. Armed police. Drop the gun, drop the gun now all students, observers and instructors must obey my instructions irrespective of rank or role. To do so would compromise safety. On hearing a long whistle blast or the word of command, stop, stop, stop all students will stop what theyre doing immediately and await further instructions. In case of an incident resulting in injury all activities will cease immediately and all weapons will be made safe. All students will wear appropriate ppe commensurate with the training. Arv kit, ear and eye protection, forced issue boots and helmets. All loading and unloading of weapons will take place in the loading room. Weapon safety rules must be complied with. There are no officer down drills for todays training, so any officer down will be treated as a genuine injury. Is anyone suffering from the effects of alcohol, taken any medication or have any injury or problem that may impair your ability . No. Do you have any questions . Excellent. Walked towards me. Walk towards me. Stop. Its week five of training at cheshire constabularys firearms school. Recruits have learned how to handle a gun, now they need to learn when and where to use it. One, two, three, four room loe. All they have to do is approach each room in this abandoned school and prove they can see the imaginary bad guys without getting shot. Its just a straightforward search, has anybody got any questions before we start . Its a lot harder than it sounds. Go right and then split. Each individual officer has a role and they actually have a role to perform when they are at the door. So what we are trying to get them to do is memorise the roles. The roles are so fluent, so they can form up on one door, deal with that specific threat area, ok
