i'm finding out what that means for the millions of borrowers who are used to cheap credit. in sport, the toughest test for england in the opening game of the rugby league world cup. they face hosts and reigning champions australia in melbourne this morning. and, with halloween just a few days away, sarah's at a pumpkin festival with the weather. good morning. yes, i'm at hampton bridge this morning bringing you a fall in uk forecast but also looking at some amazing pumpkin installations here and we're also going to have a live pumpkin carving throughout the morning. i will be backin throughout the morning. i will be back in 15 minutes. be careful, sarah. see you later. see you later. good morning. first, our main story. an investigation into the cyber attack that brought down parts of the nhs in may has found that it could have been prevented if basic security measures had been in place. the national audit office says that the health service wasn't prepared for the attack in which criminals froze nhs computers and demanded a ransom. it calls on the nhs to develop
6:02 am
a clear plan to deal with future threats. rory cellan—jones reports. it was an attack which froze computers around the world. but the nhs was among the organisations worst affected and the national audit office says it was ill—prepared. the report details the impact of the worst ever cyber attack on the health service. 81 health trusts across england were affected, a third of the total. it's thought over 19,000 appointments ended up being cancelled, including 139 potential cancer referrals. what planning there had been to deal with a cyber attackjust hadn't filtered down to the hospitals. some work had been done on a national cyber response plan in the nhs, but that hadn't been well communicated to all of those local bodies and in some cases organisations had to resort to telephone and paper and pen and apps such as whatsapp in terms of communicating with others. those hospitals which saw computers infected by the malicious software
6:03 am
had ignored instructions to install a security patch which would have protected them. now the nhs says lessons have been learned. we have been getting our act together. we are getting our act together. we're putting funding in. we're putting education in. we're rolling out the programmes that were in place before this attack and we will continue to improve over time. there are more serious cyber attackers waiting to strike. hospital trusts are warning the government they may need to spend more money to strengthen their defences. rory cellan—jones, bbc news. hundreds of files relating to the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy in 1963 have been kept secret on the order of donald trump. nearly 3,000 classified documents were released as expected but some were held back after concern relating to the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy in 1963 have been released on the order of donald trump. but hundreds more files were held back at the last minute,
6:04 am
after concerns were raised by the cia and the fbi. our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. page after page. previously top—secret documents, many of them handwritten, from the investigation into the assassination ofjohn f kennedy. it was november 22, 1963 when lee harvey oswald shot the president as he was travelling in an open top limousine in dallas. newsreel: it appears as though something has happened in the motorcade group. the official investigation concluded that oswald had acted alone. newsreel: president kennedy has been assassinated. it's official now. the president is dead. but more than 50 years later, many americans find it difficult to believe the official version of what happened. conspiracy theorists think information could have been withheld to avoid embarrassing government agencies. historians, journalists and legal scholars are now poring over the almost 3,000 documents just released, searching for clues to discrepancies in the original stories or new facts to back it up. several hundred documents have been held back for further scrutiny. there will be a six—month review
6:05 am
period after the cia and fbi expressed concerns about their content. it's a move that will only fuel the conspiracy theories. peter bowes, bbc news. peterjoins us now from los angeles. is there frustration that some files have been held back? yes, 25 years since the us congress set the deadline which has just passed for these documents to be released so than at the 11th hour, for the cia, fbi to say they have concerns about some of them, yes, thatis concerns about some of them, yes, that is frustrating. apparently president trump reluctantly agreed to the six—month extension effectively a time period when the conductor is documents and see if they contain any information that should not be released so that is on hold for six months. still almost
6:06 am
3000 documents released. they are full of all sorts of titbits about this investigation including one intriguing story that brings the uk into this. apparently, at 6:05pm uk time on the day president kennedy was assassinated, a reporter at the cambridge news newspaper received an anonymous phone call, information which is come from a memo to the fbi director, this cambridge reporter received a phone call to say he should call the american embassy to hear about some big news. this was 25 minutes before the assassination forcibly called the police, they called m15, and they contacted the american authorities. it might be unconnected, it might be a relevant, but it is intriguing. it certainly is and this has always been an intriguing tale, hasn't it? peter, thank you very much, from los angeles. senators in the spanish parliament will vote today on whether to impose direct rule on catalonia. the spanish government says it's the only way to calm the ongoing
6:07 am
crisis but catalan leaders say they will respond by declaring an independent republic. our europe correspondent gavin lee is in barcelona. thanks forjoining us, gathering. will madrid make a declaration today, do you think?” will madrid make a declaration today, do you think? i think everything is down to the fact that the catalyst is the spanish government because, after one month since october one, the band referendum when the catalan authorities went against the constitution, 90% who voted voted the independence. then the catalan president declared a unilateral independence and immediately suspended straight after. today the senate in spain are likely to boat to go with article 155, two long sentences, quite vague, but we should have clarity on that day because the pd party are likely to
6:08 am
set out how that will work. that is the catalyst for the catalan government and one of three options. one was to dissolve parliament. he knows hisjob as one was to dissolve parliament. he knows his job as a risk if the moves away for the second is that anything. the third is a direct declaration of independence for the papers suggest it's looking that way this morning. interesting. thank you very much. we will be talking to you later. thousands of children across england are not getting the mental health support they need according to a review by government inspectors. the care quality commission's damming report found that services are too fragmented and hard to access. the department of health says it is investing an extra £1.11 billion into children's mental health services over the next four years. a ceremony has taken place to cremate thailand's king, who died last october. thousands of mourners turned out on the streets of bangkok in a ceremony steeped in buddhist traditions. king bhumibol adulyadej died last october at the age of 88. australia's deputy prime minister has been disqualified from parliament because he also held new zealand citizenship at the time

6:10 am
was heard in the heavens weigh up there. at some point we will find out exactly what is said and bring it to you. i bet mike knows. what makes me happy in space? a cup of tea ? makes me happy in space? a cup of tea? flying makes me happy in space? a cup of tea ? flying past. makes me happy in space? a cup of tea? flying past. i don't think it is possible to drink a cup of tea in space. you would have to drink it out of a foil container with a straw. anyway, we're not in space. very much down—to—earth. rugby league. the world cup starts today in australia and you know that phrase, if you can't beat them, join them? that phrase, if you can't beat them, join them ? that applies phrase, if you can't beat them, join them? that applies to england. wayne burnett the australian coach has been brought in to help them break this hoodoo. the rugby league world cup isjust a few hours away and england kick it off in melbourne against their nemesis and hosts australia, who they haven't beaten as england since 1995. australia are also the reigning champions, having won the competition four years ago. victory for either side would make

6:14 am
across northern scotland but less windy elsewhere. there could just be one or two rogue showers in the far east but most places avoiding them. some across scotland this afternoon, there will be patchy cloud but decent spells of sunshine and, away from the northern isles, not too windy. heading south across northern england, lots of dry and bright weather to be enjoyed through the day but there could be the odd light shall across east anglia. most places avoiding them. 1a degrees, fresher than they have been recently but it is trying to bright across all of southern england and the south—west. once the morning mist and low cloud clears the way. wales seeing a decent afternoon with some spells of sunshine coming through. as we move spells of sunshine coming through. as we move across spells of sunshine coming through. as we move across the irish sea, it's looking like a sparkling bay across northern ireland with temperatures around 12 degrees in belfast. as we had through into this evening and overnight, the wind will start to pick up across all of the country, especially for northern scotland. also the cloud increasing
6:15 am
from the north with drizzly rain for the west of scotland, but clearer skies further south so it chilly start first thing i think on saturday morning. as we had through saturday, it's looking like a breezy day across—the—board, particularly windy for the northern half of the country with gusts around 50 miles an hourfor country with gusts around 50 miles an hour for north—east england and eastern scotland too. reasonably mild. temperatures, 13—16 on saturday. then we see the wind coming form or other northerly direction as we move through into the second half of the weekend. after a fairly breezy sort of day on saturday, i think it'll be less windy on sunday although still quite blustery on the east coast where they will be just the odd shower. most they will be just the odd shower. m ost pla ces they will be just the odd shower. most places once again seeing a decent day on sunday. some sunshine breaking through that cloud, but it will start to feel quite a bit fresher too where the temperatures around 9—15. that is how the weather is looking over the next few days. we will have more throughout the
6:16 am
morning here from hebden bridge and we will take a look at how our pumpkin is coming on to the course of the morning. back to you. i can't wait to see that. thank you very much. i love a bit of pumpkin carving. are you any good at it? no, and just eating it! let's take a look at today's papers. the front page of the times. neo—nazis are in a plot to murder an mp. two people were charged with the plot of an attempt to murder a labourmp. plot of an attempt to murder a labour mp. the picture is a man who went to fight with isis and he is to return home and face the law. the number of arrests made in england and wales has halved in the past decade as police were accused of letting criminals off the hook. that
6:17 am
isa letting criminals off the hook. that is a picture ofjohn humphrys, presenter of the today programme on radio 4 presenter of the today programme on radio4and presenter of the today programme on radio 4 and he says he would be the last person he would invite to a dinner party! because he can't stop himself playing devil's advocate. dinner party! because he can't stop himself playing devil's advocatelj himself playing devil's advocate.” love people like that. yes, you want a bit of controversy. he might chuck a bit of controversy. he might chuck a few mastermind questions in as well. i imagine you would be the mediator, you would keep the peace. you would, wouldn't you?” mediator, you would keep the peace. you would, wouldn't you? i would like to think so. when have we ever had an invite for dinner from them two. we are worried what would happen! the daily mail is taking a look at arrest figures plunging by half. police are accused softjustice. this is olivia cole who is going to ta ke this is olivia cole who is going to take over for the netflix tv drama the crown from claire foy as the
6:18 am
queen gets older. claire foy is in a new film called breathe. this is a lovely story on the front of the daily mirror. it's about a money who was saved by a last minute lung transplant who was then given away by the father of the donor. the bride, lisa and then rhona who tragically died and rhona's dad handing lisa over. we were taking at this car that was going to reach 1,000mph. we had robert hall out with this. this is a test for the world record attempt which will be in two years' time. yesterday, at knew key airport it did 200mph in eight seconds. it's going to try to get 1,000mph eight seconds. it's going to try to get1,000mph ina
6:19 am
eight seconds. it's going to try to get 1,000mph in a couple of years' time. it could go from john o' g roats time. it could go from john o' groats to land's time. it could go from john o' groats to lands end in 57 minutes, but there might be a bit of hold—up around the m5. so it's the road works that get in the way! you wouldn't see the road works in that! it's part jet fighter and part wouldn't see the road works in that! it's partjet fighter and part space rock and part car. what stories have you got? monarch. this one is now about what happens to the slots that monarch used all across the uk at different airports because the administrators would like to get their hands on the slots and be able to sell them and get money and there isa to sell them and get money and there is a legal row about whether they will be able to get the money or whether the money will go to the airports. that's one story on monarch. the other one is about amazon. overnight, results from amazon. overnight, results from amazon is unbelievable because they have spent loads of money in the la st have spent loads of money in the last half of the year and yet they
6:20 am
have still made 11 billion extra compared to last year. that's 43 billion in revenues. it's a huge amount of money. so they have seen loads more sales even though they have been forking out money and buying supermarkets and everything else. our director says he has bought loads of christmas presents? our director says he has bought loads of christmas presents7m our director says he has bought loads of christmas presents? if i buy them this early, i forget and thenl buy them this early, i forget and then i have to buy them all over again. what's the feeling on when decorations can go up? not now. somebody has got their christmas decorations up. there are 60 days to go. it's exciting when you start seeing houses with them up because you think it's nearly time, even though it isn't, it's miles away. it's october! i was in a superstore
6:21 am
the other week and there was an inflata ble sa nta, the other week and there was an inflatable santa, bigger than me singing this song over and over again really loudy. i started to go mad! did you punch it? i was tempted! we don't condone violence! as the global threat of antibiotic resista nce as the global threat of antibiotic resistance continues to throw, steps are being taken to reduce the use of these drugs in people and animal. later this morning the department forfood, environment later this morning the department for food, environment and later this morning the department forfood, environment and rural affairs will publish a report which shows that sales of antibiotics for animals in the uk have fallen to their lowest level since records began. this farm in west wiltshire. a cow creche for 350 calves. we change the ta ets creche for 350 calves. we change the taets on the machines every morning
6:22 am
and evening. we take them out and clea n and evening. we take them out and clean them and put them this a pot of disinfectant solution. just as you'd expect with a child's nursery, with so many young calves living in one barn, bugs are rife here. this process has really dropped antibiotic usage by 50% across the ca lf antibiotic usage by 50% across the calf group in here. it isjust stopping the spread of disease through the taets with the calves coming in all the time drinking and spreading germs. jo's not unique, but herfarming is progressive. taking steps to ensure her animals don't get ill. when it gets cold, smaller calves like this one are prone to getting poorly and so they end up on antibiotics. so now they are keeping them warm. so they stay healthy in the first place. and zblus case that wasn't enough, on the outside, she has even installed blinds. we get a lot of ground level d raft blinds. we get a lot of ground level draft so we need to keep that away from the calves because it causes environmental stress and chills them down and can lead to pneumonia and
6:23 am
therefore, antibiotic use. antibiotics on this farm are only used when an animal is very ill. three years ago when we would have had batches of calves come in, they would have been on antibiotic treatment, now we're just treating on case by case. this week i have only got two animal on antibiotics. last week, it was only six. over in somerset, bristol university is researching the global impact antibiotics have on livestock. sheep, cattle, pigs, poultry, any livestock, any animal for that matter is susceptible to disease just like we are. using antibiotics to boost growth was banned by the eu over a decade ago. so farmers are only using them to treat or prevent disease. it's really important that we use less antibiotics because wherever we use antibiotics, bacteria can become resistants and the bacteria might cause disease either in animals or people. the bacteria might cause disease either in animals or peoplem the bacteria might cause disease either in animals or people. it is not just down to either in animals or people. it is notjust down to the agricultural world. in the uk, it's us, humans, which are consuming well over half
6:24 am
of all antibiotics. compared with just 37% used to treat animals. today though, the spotlight is firmly on the farming community and the message is clear — with no new antibiotics being developed, less really is best. i was at iwas ata i was at a farm last week in denmark for a piece for breakfast. i will reveal that next week. anyone who remembers the assassination of president kennedy will remember where they were. in the past few hours, thousands of previously classified documents from the investigation into the assassination in the past few hours, thousands of previously classified documents from the investigation into the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy, have
6:25 am
been released in the united states. but in a last minute decision by the white house, hundreds more files are being held back until they've been checked over by the security services. let's speak now to toni glover. she witnessed the assassination and joins us from her home in pennsylvania. tell us what happened on that day. you were a young girl.” tell us what happened on that day. you were a young girl. i was. i was 11 years old and i came from somewhat of a troubled family and i had in my mind that if i could get kennedy to look at me and wave at me, somehow we would have a personal relationship and all the problems of my family would disappear. magical thinking, irrational. iwas11. so i begged my mother to take me down there. what happened? you were on there. what happened? you were on the road watching the parade go by. what was the first instance that you knew the president had been shot? well, i was on the corner and i was up well, i was on the corner and i was up on well, i was on the corner and i was upona well, i was on the corner and i was up on a pedestal so i could see all the way around from where i was and
6:26 am
he came by and they smiled and they waved and we were ecstatic. we were just, you know, and he turned the corner and was shot. so, within ten secondsit corner and was shot. so, within ten seconds it was the most wonderful moment and then a terrible, terrible moment. we were just saying, it's moments like that, pivotal moments in time, it's very difficult to forget where you were, obviously in your case particularly, but how did it affect you? it's a very different era from now where terrorism we are almost used to terrorism or very aware of terrorism. then, it was a very different time. that's true. it was a time of political correctness and so, it was discussed delicately. it was the fatal shot or you know, the assassination itself. for the people who were there, it was, you know, it was graphic. it was terrible. and i think we all took
6:27 am
home scars from that moment. you know, you will just home scars from that moment. you know, you willjust never get out of your head. do you understand toni why there has been so much conspiracy and conspiracy theories vournding the death of president kennedy and why that really hasn't gone away? it hasn't. and one of the interesting documents that came out, i haven't been able to study them andi i haven't been able to study them and i am i haven't been able to study them andiama i haven't been able to study them and i am a professor and i really like to know what i'm talking about and on this i'm not sure, but only 50 of the documents have not already been seen before. so, i'm not sure what they were expecting to get out of it. there is a large conspiracy theory population and i'm sure they wa nted theory population and i'm sure they wanted to find facts they could use to make their own conspiracy plausible, but i don't think they're going to find it. so you don't think anything is being held back with
6:28 am
these, i think, anything is being held back with these, ithink, around anything is being held back with these, i think, around 100 documents that haven't been released?” honestly don't know. i can't imagine what would be in them actually that could help any of the conspiracies. i believe oswell fired and i think he fired alone, but there's just no way to prove that. toni, it has been a delight talking to, thank you for reminiscing with us on that rather awful moment in time, the killing of president kennedy. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. the daughter of a woman who suffered painful burns while a resident at a croydon nursing home says anyone worried about loved ones in care should speak out. 72—year—old polly dunkley badly

6:31 am
through this evening and overnight, it will stay dry. we will see clear spells and that means the temperatures are going to fall away. we are looking at an overnight low of seven celsius in towns and cities. a touch cooler than that rurally. a chilly start to the day tomorrow, but it will be a bright one. we will see the cloud generally increasing as we move through the day, but holding on to some brighter intervals or sunny spells. a breezier day than today with that westerly wind, and highs of 15 celsius. as we move into sunday, the wind will start to ease, but it will also spin around to more of a northerly which will take the edge off the temperatures. a largely dry day with sunny spells on sunday. just the risk of seeing the odd isolated shower, but that northerly breeze taking the edge off the temperatures. it will be a chilly night overnight into monday which means that some of us could be reaching for the windscreen scrapers by the time we get to monday morning. that's all from us. there is more on our website. hello.

6:33 am
of this morning's main stories from bbc news. an investigation into the cyber attack that brought down parts of the nhs in may has found it could have been prevented if basic security measures had been in place. the national audit office says the health service wasn't prepared for the attack and must develop a clear plan to deal with future threats. nhs england says it has invested in improving security and stressed that no harm was caused to patients. we have been getting our act together. we are putting funding in, we are putting education in, rolling out the programmes that were in place before this attack and we will continue to improve over time. hundreds of files relating to the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy in 1963 have been kept secret under the orders of president trump. nearly 3,000 classified documents were released as expected but some were held back after concerns were raised by the cia and the fbi. mr trump has given the agencies six months to make their case why the remaining documents should not be made public. senators in the spanish parliament will vote today on whether to impose
6:34 am
direct rule on catalonia. the spanish government says it's the only way to calm the ongoing crisis but catalan leaders say they will respond by declaring an independent republic. thousands of children across england are not getting the mental health support they need according to a review by government inspectors. the care quality commission's damming report found that services are too fragmented and hard to access. the department of health says it is investing an extra £1.4 billion into children's mental health services over the next four years. a ceremony has taken place to cremate thailand's king, who died last october. thousands of mourners turned out on the streets of bangkok in a ceremony steeped in buddhist traditions. king bhumibol adulyadej died last october at the age of 88. it's time to talk about sport with
6:35 am
mike. are we helpful? yes, we will speak to brian noble in an hour and he took the great britain team to win in australia, 2006, and he won. he says he can see the same spirit. isa he says he can see the same spirit. is a dangerous to say that? 1995 was the last timing and won there. if you mention australia to an england fan and they will say, not a game. we have a bit of an australian in the team. wayne bennett. england are hoping their australian coach, can help them finally end the hoo doo as the rugby league world cup gets under way in just a few hours' time.. they face the hosts australia who they haven't beaten since 1995. australia are also the reigning champions having won the competition in 2013. victory for either side would mean they'd be favourites to top the group. we've just got to get better each
6:36 am
week. we won't be our best on friday night and australia won't be either. that's my plan. i want is to play well and do the things i know we have to do to give ourselves a chance of winning in six weeks' time. you can watch the game on bbc two. build up begins at 9am. there'll also be commentary on bbc radio 5 live sports extra. ranges are looking for a new manager having parted company with a manager after just seven having parted company with a manager afterjust seven months in charge. the portuguese manager leaves them having won 14 out of 26 games at the helm. his side were knocked out of the scottish league cup by motherwell at the weekend and have slipped to fourth in the table after their midweek tour against kilmarnock. you think you would be pretty straightforward to put the names of eight teams in a hat and pick them out one by one to make the quarterfinal draw of the league cup but it proved a real challenge. it was due to take place at 3pm live on twitter but a technical fault meant that it was delayed
6:37 am
and ended up being recorded and shown two hours later. the pick of the ties sees championship club bristol city host manchester united. arsenal will face west ham, leicester city are at home to manchester city and chelsea take on bournemouth. here's what some of the clubs had to say about it. west ham said... then twitter published this apology... so, there we go. britain's heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua, says he's ready to defend his ibf and wba titles in cardiff tomorrow night against the stand—in challenger carlos ta kam. the pairfaced off in the welsh capital yesterday. joshua was due to face the bulgarian kubrat pulev, but he had to withdraw because of injury. it'll be the briton's first contest since defeating wladimir klitschko, at wembley in april.
6:38 am
ijust think the i just think the mindset of a fighter has to be leave that where it was, move onto the next opportunity because if i'm thinking of past winds, i may as well give up. boxes aren't forgiving. i can't lose this fight and say but i won a good one in my last one. i got to move on and focus. now a sense of deja vu about the next story because i have said this before. martina hingis is going to retire for the third and final time. are you sure? she is, this time. injuries forced the former world number one to retire 14 years ago, after winning five grand slam singles titles. but she came back as a doubles specialist to win another 20 slams, including the mixed doubles at wimbledon with jamie murray. hingis will retire after the wta finals in singapore, as the world doubles number one. it has a good job she came back.
6:39 am
yes, indeed. spare a thought for the marathon runner whose race was scuppered by an injury. not to his leg, but his hand. michal kapral was trying to set a world record in toronto forjoggling which is running whilstjuggling. he had to keep stopping to pick up balls he'd dropped. it took him three hours tojoggle ten miles. then he tore a muscle in his left hand and had to scrap the record attempt. he did finish the race though, as a plain—old runner in last place. it's one of those things, once you drop them the first time,... don't feel too sorry for him because he's already beaten his own record twice before and he can do it. is he the only one who's ever bothered? whatever next? the also broke the marathon a good of doing it with a baby stroller. i think you need to else attempted the record. lots of people have done it byjuggling the ball on barefoot. that sounds harder
6:40 am
than your hands. amazing. it took him over ten hours for them who wa kes him over ten hours for them who wakes up on things, i'm going to do that? it's one of the great pleasures, juggling and running. i lovejuggling for the i can do it with oranges. there will be people out there who love doing it. if you area out there who love doing it. if you are a juggler, good luck to you. thanks, mike. the nhs has been told it must "get its act together" on cyber security after an investigation into a major ransomware attack last may. the wanna cry attack locked computers and led to the cancellation of thousands of appointments. now the national audit office says the nhs must take action or risk more sophisticated attacks in the future. let's speak to bryan glick, editor in chief of computer weekly. good morning to you. thanks for joining us. can you just reminders the impact this had. i gave a bit of information there but this was a
6:41 am
massive cyber attack, wasn't it? yes, we saw hospitals practically shut down, operations cancelled, a&e department shut down and not able to ta ke department shut down and not able to take anybody in except the biggest emergencies that they could. quite simply because they either were not able to access their computer systems or quite simply they didn't trust them enough to be able to switch them on in case they found out they had been affected as well. what was interesting about this was how some trusts were affected and others went. what was the difference between them? the attack targeted a known flaw in microsoft's's windows software, the central nhs technology organisation had warned nhs organisations that this flaw existed. there was a solution for red, some software that they could download from microsoft which would fix the patch and quite simply some of those organisations did install that patch and others didn't.
6:42 am
generally speaking, it was the ones who have not updated their software who have not updated their software who were hit. from what the national audit office said, when they talk about basic it security best practice, the fact they were trusts who are not download this patch? yes, with this attack and indeed the vast majority of cyber attacks, they target well known flaws in software and those flaws can be fixed. they are publicly available, patches, as they are called, to get over those long abilities. this is exactly the situation with the nhs here. a fix was available. but because the nhs is such a decentralised organisation, responsibility for applying those fixes was held locally in each of those individual nhs organisations, so that, for them, it was up to them whether they applied for not. could this happen ain? applied for not. could this happen
6:43 am
again? you cannot rule it out. in any large organisation you have that best practice in place to say we are going to make sure we are doing all the basics. we will update our softwa re the basics. we will update our software regularly, apply fixes to known bugs, when they are released. and that generally will prevent you from being hit by the vast majority of cyber attacks. this was a relatively unsophisticated attack that hit the nhs full for the challenge for them was how to put in place of those standards across such a large and diverse organisation. there has been speculation about who was behind this attack. i know people been talking about the other was north korea or not. what are your thoughts on it and what would north korea try to achieve by doing it? if it is a nation state involved in this or somebody sponsored by them, quite often it is simply disruption, just to cause companies and organisations in the west to be
6:44 am
disrupted. there were rumours of the time that maybe this particular attack they didn't expect it to hit as hard as they did. there was speculation that maybe they were just testing out a piece of attack softwa re just testing out a piece of attack software that they wanted to use to see how hard it would hit and it went much harder than they realised. since then, we have seen other attacks on other organisations using variants of the same piece of malware as it's called that was used in the nhs. brian, thank you very much for your time. in the nhs. brian, thank you very much foryourtime. interesting in the nhs. brian, thank you very much for your time. interesting how dark it is in london this morning, still, isn't it? yes, everywhere. you know what would brighten it up? pumpkins! we can get that now with sarah. she is with someone who is making some crazy faces. good morning, sarah. good morning. that is right for some i am in hebden
6:45 am
bridge for the first ever pumpkin festival here. we have a life pumpkin carving going on and we will look at it in a moment but the festival here in hebden bridge runs over six days. it includes pumpkin carving workshops and on sunday, the grand finale of the festival, a pumpkin parade right through the town here. people can come and bring their pumpkins they have carved and join in the parade as well. we have gotjamie join in the parade as well. we have got jamie with us, join in the parade as well. we have gotjamie with us, who is join in the parade as well. we have got jamie with us, who is creating this amazing pumpkin. you started half an hour ago and there's pumpkin was completely untouched so i can see some good facial features taking shape. he's got eyes, nose, teeth, all you need. how long would you ta ke to all you need. how long would you take to carve this? a full-day. amazing. only a few hours before the big reveal so i won't keep you too long and i will let you get on with creating him. it's looking amazing already. here in hebden bridge a chilly
6:46 am
start. there will be some sunshine on offerfor start. there will be some sunshine on offer for many of us through the day. this morning though, there are mist and fog patches. a bit of low cloud too particularly for southern and western parts of england and wales. they should clear away and then we are looking at blue skies for many areas and mostly dry. just the chance of a rogue shower across north—east scotland and down towards east anglia as well. into the afternoon hours then, for most of us we've got light winds, but it will be breezier across the north of scotla nd be breezier across the north of scotland particularly for the northern isles. across scotland, some sunny northern isles. across scotland, some sunny spells and that sunshine continues down across northern england too where it will be dry and fine through the afternoon. just the chance of a passing shower across parts of east anglia, but most places avoiding any of the showers with temperatures around about 14 celsius or so in the south. it's looking dry and fine and sunny towards the south—west of england. once any morning mist and low cloud clears away and also across parts of
6:47 am
wales, it should be dry and bright with a bit of cloud around, but it shouldn't spoil the sunshine. heading across to northern ireland next and we have got dry conditions expected through the day here and glorious blue skies to be enjoyed through the afternoon with temperatures around 12 celsius in belfast. moving through this evening and overnight, what we are going to see is the winds picking up across the country particularly for parts of scotla nd the country particularly for parts of scotland where there could be gales at times tonight. the cloud also increasing from the north—west with a bit of drizzle over the hills of western scotland, but clearer skies further south where it will be a chilly start to your weekend. so mid—single figures widely in the south first thing. milder further north. through the day on saturday, a breezy sort of day particularly wind across the northern half of the country where there will be more cloud and drizzly rain over the hills of parts of north—west england and western scotland and perhaps northern ireland too. brighter skies for central and south—eastern england with temperatures around 13 to 16 celsius on saturday. and then
6:48 am
a change into the second half of the weekend. sunday will be a less windy day, but the winds coming round from the north. so aled coulderfeel to the north. so aled coulderfeel to the weather by the time we get to sunday. there should be sunshine and many of us having another dry day but it will be turning chillier with the temperatures around nine to 15 celsius. so that is how the weather is looking. let's look at some of the amazing pump kinds here in hebden bridge. and we have got our very own bbc breakfast pumpkin that's been carved here. we've got spooky little chaps here. you can see this little guy holding his toy skeleton there. looking very scary and we've got a selection. we've got and we've got a selection. we've got a singer—songwriter here. if you think you can do better than this or if you've got interesting pumpkins that you've been preparing or carving at home, we would love to see them on bbc breakfast, keep sending your pictures of your pumpkins in to us. steph and naga. can we get your gentleman to do a
6:49 am
pumpkin of steph? a pumpkin... of steph's face. ah, my goodness. i think he's already there with my nose. yeah, i think steph's far too looking for the pumpkins. well, no one minds a good looking pumpkins. this is a good looking one. she is an attractive lady, i think. i've started something there. sarah, thank you very much. you're far too gorgeous. that pumpkin is not far off me with that nose. don't be sill ysmt that pumpkin is much better looking! oops! we are talking about interest rates.
6:50 am
the bank of england sets the base rate for the amount of interest other banks charge on loans or pay on your savings and it changes depending on how they feel the economy is doing. and it's been super low, less than 1%, for more than eight years. in fact millions of people who've taken out mortgage have never known what it feels like to borrow money at a higher rate, but that could be about to change. if you've borrowed £132,000, and still have 20 years to go, just a quarter of a percent rise in rates would increase your monthly payments by more than £16. jane king is mortgage adviser, ash—ridge asset management. good ash—ridge asset management. morning jane. how think good morning jane. how likely do you think an interest rate rise is next week? well, this isn't the first occasion that mark carney indicated that there maybe a rise in rates. in the past people have been relaxed about it, but this time it seems to have caught borrower's attention
6:51 am
more. it's all speculation. have caught borrower's attention more. it's allspeculation. nobody knows what they're going to do next thursday, but if you believe what you read in the media, it looks as if they are expecting a quarter of one percent rise. a quarter of one percent doesn't sound a lot. but people who aren't used to any rate rise, it will have an impact, won't it? £16 a month on an average mortgage is not too bad. but people have been looking now to fix probably over the longer term. that seems to be what people want to do because they are worried that a rate rise will have an impact on their mortgage repayments. is that good advice if people are concerned about trying to stretch their family budgets, their home budgets at the moment, it's fixing your mortgage rate is a good plan? fixed rates aren't for everybody, but if you're settled in your house or your property, and you're looking at long—term stability then a longer term fixed—rate is a good idea, but there is no need to panic. we need
6:52 am
to wait until thursday to see exactly what the bank will do and there is still a lot of competition between lenders out there. that's only the base rate. that doesn't necessarily mean that all the other banks will increase by exactly the same amount, isn't there competition out there? tracker rates will do because tracker rates are obliged to follow ba n k because tracker rates are obliged to follow bank base rate. as far as the lender's standard variable rate, some do, some may leave them and some do, some may leave them and some may up them and some may lower them, but they are not obliged to up it. jane, thank you very much for joining us this morning and we will have to wait to see on thursday whether those interest rates go up and what impact that's going to have on mortgages, but savers too, it is better news tonne that front. it is difficult to judge how you move your money around if you're worried about interest rates. it's a megastory that if interest rates go up, considering how long they have
6:53 am
been low. that would keep me busy for a while. always a good thing. breakfast has been given exclusive access to a pioneering new project that aims to get young people with life—limiting conditions to express their emotions and opinions. run by the university of sheffield it uses art to document the lives, fears and dreams of those taking part. graham satchell has been to meet some of them. so on one side, there were good words and on the other side, there were bad words. can you remember what words did you do for good? legends. legend. who is a legend? you say. me! the bad words, it's actually very heartbreaking. i got bullied non—stop. i got called a body freak.
6:54 am
i was thinking, "why do people hate me?" what would you say to those people who call stupid names? i've had enough. so by putting an extra little ingredient in, it means that that can bubble up to the top and that gives us a chance to talk about all the things that maybe we haven't done and we would like to do and what those bubbles meant to us. the project focuses on the lives of disabled young people. we are using art as methods for the project. it's a way we found for new stories of disability to be told. when they asked me who my hero was, i said my mum because i love her so much and she's so caring to me.
6:55 am
oh, thank you. quite often we think of disabled young people's lives as lacking play, lacking fun, tragic, but actually what we've learnt through working with young people is that they are really vibrant and dynamic and have lots of hopes for the future. so we're thinking about aspiration and hopes as well as part of the project. can i ask you what it is that you want to do in the future? yeah, movie maker. you want to make movies? yeah. my biggest dream is to work in apple hq in cupertino, california because i'm apple crazy. what kind of movies? horrors! i still have my own dreams that i'm still looking to achieve. 0k, just face forward.
6:56 am
we need to listen to young disabled people a lot more than we do, i think. young disabled certainly need a voice and to hope and dream like anybody else. ah, what a great project. aren't they wonderful. that was breakfast‘s graham satchell at the project. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. the daughter of a woman who suffered painful burns while a resident at a croydon nursing home says anyone worried about loved ones in care should speak out. 72—year—old polly dunkley badly burnt herself on electric heaters placed in her room at the elmwood nursing home. the care provider has been fined £45,000 for failing to deliver safe care and treatment.
6:57 am
if they have got loved ones in the care homes and they're not happy about something to speak out. if you have suspicions of anything, speak out, but document everything. take photographs. back everything up. do things in writing. do not be intimidated by the system. the nhs has apologised for the misery it put patients through after a private ambulance company it was using stopped trading. the essex—based private ambulance service was serving hospitals such as watford general, st albans and bedford. but it ceased trading at the beginning of this month just over half—way through its year long contract. london's oyster card technology is being introduced in new york. commuters there will soon be able to use contactless and mobile payment on the subway and buses. it'll be run by the same firm who introduced similar technology for london back in 2003. the dlr has minor delays. pimlico
6:58 am
tube station is closed because there aren't enough staff. the m3, you maybe able to make out here, it is closed southbound between junction 1 and junction 2 for the m25 after an accident. a car has broken down on the clockwise m25. one lane is closed and traffic is heavy. in the king's cross area, there is a burst water main. good morning. the cloudy skies of yesterday have been working their way south overnight. today we are looking at a dry, bright day with sunshine. some of us could wake up to a slightly cloudier start. just one or two patches of mist around first thing, but they will lift. brightening up through the morning with sunshine. a little bit of high level cloud bubbling up into the afternoon, but nothing to spoil the day.
6:59 am
with light winds, we are looking at highs of 15 celsius. through this evening and overnight, it will stay dry. we will see clear spells and temperatures will fall away. we are looking at an overnight low of seven celsius in towns and cities. a touch cooler than that rurally. a chilly start tomorrow, but it will be a bright one. we will see the cloud increasing as we move through the day, but holding on to some brighter intervals or sunny spells. a breezier day than today with that westerly wind, and highs of 15 celsius. as we move into sunday, the wind will start to ease, but it will also spin around to more of a northerly which will take the edge off the temperatures. a largely dry day with sunny spells on sunday. just the risk of seeing the odd isolated shower, but that northerly breeze taking the edge off the temperatures. it will be a chilly night overnight into monday which means that some the time we get to monday morning. that's all from us. there is more on our website. hello.
7:00 am
this is breakfast with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. an investigation into the cyber attack that brought down parts of the nhs in may has found that it could have been prevented if basic security measures had been in place. now the nhs is told to get its act together to deal with future threats. good morning. also on the programme, conspiracy theories deepened after hundreds of files relating to the assassination of president kennedy
7:01 am
remain secret following demands by us security services. survivors of the manchester arena bomb attack are being asked to give their views on the response of the emergency services. regulators have indulged a investigation into hotel comparison websites for the i'm looking at what the concerns about when it comes to booking holiday online. in sport, the toughest test for england in the opening game of the rugby league world cup. they face hosts and reigning champions australia in melbourne this morning. halloween is a few days away. is it pumpkin carving weather? sarah knows. good morning, yes, i will bring you a forecast for here in hebden bridge and i am here for their first ever pumpkin festival. we will have a look at more pumpkins through the morning and we have a live pumpkin carving for you as well. more in 15 minutes. thanks,
7:02 am
sarah. see you then. good morning. first, our main story. an investigation into the cyber attack that brought down parts of the nhs in may has found that it could have been prevented if basic security measures had been in place. the national audit office says that the health service wasn't prepared for the attack in which criminals froze nhs computers and demanded a ransom. it calls on the nhs to develop a clear plan to deal with future threats. rory cellan—jones reports. it was an attack which froze computers around the world. but the nhs was among the organisations worst affected and the national audit office says it was ill—prepared. the report details the impact of the worst ever cyber attack on the health service. 81 health trusts across england were affected, a third of the total. it's thought over 19,000 appointments ended up being cancelled, including 139 potential cancer referrals. what planning there had been to deal with a cyber attackjust hadn't filtered down to the hospitals. some work had been done on a national cyber response plan
7:03 am
in the nhs, but that hadn't been well communicated to all of those local bodies and in some cases organisations had to resort to telephone and paper and pen and apps such as whatsapp in terms of communicating with others. those hospitals which saw computers infected by the malicious software had ignored instructions to install a security patch which would have protected them. now the nhs says lessons have been learned. we have been getting our act together. we are getting our act together. we're putting funding in. we're putting education in. we're rolling out the programmes that were in place before this attack and we will continue to improve over time. now the nhs says lessons have been learned. there are more serious cyber attackers waiting to strike. hospital trusts are warning the government they may there are more serious cyber attackers waiting to strike. hospital trusts are warning the government they may
7:04 am
need to spend more money to strengthen their defences. rory cellan—jones, bbc news. hundreds of files relating to the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy in 1963 have been kept secret there are more serious cyber attackers waiting to strike. on the order of donald trump. nearly 3,000 classified documents were released as expected but some were held back after concern relating to the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy in 1963 have been released on the order of donald trump. but hundreds more files were held back at the last minute, after concerns were raised by the cia and the fbi. our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. page after page. previously top—secret documents, many of them handwritten, from the investigation into the assassination ofjohn f kennedy. it was november 22, 1963 when lee harvey oswald shot the president as he was travelling in an open top limousine in dallas. newsreel: it appears as though something has happened in the motorcade group. the official investigation concluded that oswald had acted alone. newsreel: president kennedy has been assassinated. it's official now. the president is dead. but more than 50 years later, many americans find it difficult to believe the official version of what happened. conspiracy theorists think information could have
7:05 am
been withheld to avoid embarrassing government agencies. historians, journalists and legal scholars are now poring over the almost 3,000 documents just released, searching for clues to discrepancies in the official story or new facts to back it up. several hundred documents have been held back for further scrutiny. there will be a six—month review period after the cia and fbi expressed concerns about their content. it's a move that will only fuel the conspiracy theories. peter bowes, bbc news. peterjoins us now from los angeles. they are fun, conspiracy theories, but i wonder how frustrating or how much this holding back up these files feeds into them? yes, it is 25 yea rs files feeds into them? yes, it is 25 years since the us congress set the deadline which isjust years since the us congress set the deadline which is just passed for these documents to be released, so these documents to be released, so
7:06 am
the frustration is, at the 11th hour, it seems that the fbi has said that it has some security concerns about some of the files and the president has agreed to an extra six months during which they can look again and see whether those documents should be released to the public. that said, nearly 3000 documents have been released and they are quite intriguing. for example, there's a story about a british newspaper that was a p pa re ntly british newspaper that was apparently tipped off on the day the president was assassinated about big news in the united states, an anonymous caller made to the cambridge news newspaper and the reporter who took the call was told to co nta ct reporter who took the call was told to contact the american embassy to hear about this big news. now, when hear about this big news. now, when he realised that the president had been assassinated, he then called the police and they called m15. the call was madejust 25 the police and they called m15. the call was made just 25 minutes before the president was shot. now, that is
7:07 am
perhaps a red herring. it is perhaps unconnected but it certainly intriguing. it seems like the intrigue never leaves this event. peter, thanks very much. hotel booking websites are to be investigated by the competition and markets authority. that has just been announced. what are they being investigated for? they made this announcement because more than three quarters of us when we are booking a hotel in the world use some kind of comparison website online to try to check for the best deals. what the competition markets authority are looking at is whether those search results are ranked in the right order in terms of actually which hotels are the cheapest or who pays them the most money to be put at the top of the list? they are also looking at the idea of pressure selling so you know when you have clicked on something and it says this deal is only available for five minutes and ten other people are looking at this deal, whether or not
7:08 am
that's true or not. they will look at hidden charges, right across—the—board, so there's no accusations anyone is doing anything wrong at the moment, but they will look and see if any of these companies have. we have done little energy websites and switching websites and mobile phone websites so it's about time they are all regulated, really. this isjust the next step, trying to keep a check on online comparison sites right across—the—board. online comparison sites right across-the-board. you have got rbs results. yes, for the third quarter this year, the royal bank of scotla nd this year, the royal bank of scotland made a profit of £392 million. that the third quarter in a row they've made a profit, up considerably on last year so better news for rbs. interesting because we still have a majority stake in it. thanks very much and we will see you ina bit. thanks very much and we will see you in a bit. at the news to bring you. —— avenues to bring you. —— other
7:09 am
news to bring you. senators in the spanish parliament will vote today on whether to impose direct rule on catalonia. the spanish government says it's the only way to calm the ongoing crisis but catalan leaders say they will respond by declaring an independent republic. our europe correspondent gavin lee is in barcelona. gavin, this has been going on for ages, hasn't it? are we any closer to getting clarity? i think we are, yes, because everyday. one summer disabled owner what could happen today but at least we should know what will happen because the spanish government finally after one month since the band referendum took place on the 1st of october, there was no legal means for it, this is a family member of the state, going its own way, they will bring it back in. article 155 of the constitution will be invoked today because the senate are more likely to vote for it. it gives them the power potentially to remove the leaders, the head of the local police force, and the head of the media here. before that can
7:10 am
happen, a catalan parliament have got to decide what to do, that means the president does nothing, does he call elections and dissolve parliament? it doesn't look like it's going that way. he wanted the government to drop their article. does he declared direct rule? independence? at the moment the paper suggest that might happen. briefly, that could lead to people being told to take to the streets to defend institutions, so a lot could happen today but we finally should have some clarity i hope. excellent, gavin, we will see you shortly. a ceremony has taken place to cremate thailand's king, thousands of mourners turned out on the streets of bangkok in a ceremony steeped in buddhist traditions. king bhumibol adulyadej died last october at the age of 88. the voice of pope francis has been heard in the heavens as he made a video call from the vatican to astronauts aboard the international space station. what did he say? we will find out in
7:11 am
a moment. his 20—minute call to the crew included questions about love, life in zero gravity, and what makes them happy whilst they're in orbit. the peace and serenity of our planet as it goes around at ten kilometres a second and there's no borders, there is no conflict. it's just peaceful and you see the thinness of the atmosphere and it makes you realise how fragile our existence here is. it's quite a call, that, isn't it? quite some thoughts to think about this morning. very deep and meaningful, which is what we like on this programme. absolutely. sarah is ever pumpkin carving festival so will bring us more on that and mike of course will have the sport.
7:12 am
brilliant. young lives could be being put at risk because of overstretched mental health services in england. that's the warning from a report by the care quality commission. inspectors found some teenagers had to wait 18—months for help and that access to care varied across the country. 40% of services were told they need to improve. we can speak now to chloe evans, who has bipolar disorder and approached the health services for help when she was a teenager. and joining us from sheffield is prof tim kendall, national clinical director for mental health for nhs england. chloe, thank you so much forjoining us. tell as a bit about your story. when it first became apparent you are struggling and needed help and what happened. i was 15 years old andi what happened. i was 15 years old and i decided to go to my gp because i realised something wasn't right. and they didn't refer me to the child and adolescent mental health service at that time. i was referred when i was 17 years old. by the time
7:13 am
an appointment became available, i turned 18 so i was then transitioning to adult services. you waited three years rested mark i was referred at 17 and they waited four months but they didn't refer me until i was 17. why didn't they refer you then? a lot of it was put down to growing up and reasons like that. i wasn't completely honest because of the stigma. i didn't tell them i was hearing voices because i was worried what they would say. it was worried what they would say. it was a difficult time so i waited four months for an appointment and by that point i'd already turned 18. 0k, by that point i'd already turned 18. ok, let's talk to tim. when you hear stories like this, it is very, very worrying, isn't it? we need to make clear that the system isn't a disaster for the it's just there are some who are falling through the cracks. i think this is a really important report and it's which we welcome. cqc can look across the
7:14 am
whole of the health services and look at it in some depth. now, what of the report actually shows about children and young people services is that when you get in you get a very good service but the real problem is it is hard to get in. so for the last two years, we have set up for the last two years, we have set upa plan for the last two years, we have set up a plan for investment for a five—year plan, in which we invest quite heavily in different parts of the mental health services and especially focused on children, so we do aim to change the situation but i have no doubt that the data the cqc have produced is worrying. the government says it investing £1.4 billion to improve the system. but there seems to be a concern it is crisis care being focused on at the moment, rather than long—term vents to care. no, that isn't actually true. —— preventative care.
7:15 am
in terms of children's services, we are expanding services by 1700 new staff. and those staff will be in crisis care, but quite a lot will not be. they will be in the routine ca re of not be. they will be in the routine care of children who come who are not in crisis and the same applies to adults, so, for example, chloe now would be able to access an early intervention service from 14 years old upwards and that would take children with bipolar disorder, as well as other psychoses. and the waiting time for that now currently is 70% of people are seen within two weeks and treatment starts. chloe, listening to the professor there and talking about being in the middle of the plan to improve things. you do a lot of work with young people, don't you?” things. you do a lot of work with young people, don't you? i do. do young people, don't you? i do. do you think things are improving?” can't help, but think that i have
7:16 am
heard it all before. i'm 26 years. ten yea rs heard it all before. i'm 26 years. ten years ago i was accessing the child and adolescent mental health service. not a lot has changed and people are still waiting and even longer and the young people, i work as an independent mental health advocate on an adolescent ward and people, families say to me, if they had the help earlier, they wouldn't not be in that position. they would not be in that position. they would not be in hospital. one of the things we don't want to do is send the message that the help isn't there. if a young person is struggling. think back to when you we re struggling. think back to when you were 15 and weren't sure who to ask. what should they go? go and speak to a gp. this is another point i wanted to make. it's very difficult for people to speak out about their mental health and once they do, once they have that confidence to go and speak to a gp or a health care professional, to be told they have got it to wait a long time knocks their confidence and it's difficult to ta ke their confidence and it's difficult to take that step initially to go and seek the help. that's the
7:17 am
important thing. that's the important thing. that's the important step to make. it makes a big difference when people like yourself come on and talk about it. professor, thank you. hallowe'en is around the corner, do you celebrate? i do. do you carve a pumpkin? i tend to get other people to do it because i'm not great. that's so you. sarah keith—lucas would do it herself and she is amongst some of the most amazing pumpkins. good morning. i'm here in hebden bridge for theirfirst good morning. i'm here in hebden bridge for their first ever pumpkin festivals. lots of shops and retailers have been embracing the pumpkin festival. there are displays throughout the town and on sunday there will be a pumpkin parade throughout the town. people can bring their carved pumpkins down. we have got a lot of spooky pumpkins
7:18 am
going on here. it is a chilly start to the day in hebden bridge. the sun is just about to come up and it's a similar picture across many parts of the country too. we've got the clear skies meaning that chilly start to the day. but it is going to be a dry one with sunshine on offer too. so, as we head through the course of the day then, there is a mist and fog around first thing particularly for southern and western parts of england and wales too. less in the way of mist and fog further north. it's going to be breezy for the northern isles of scotland, but the wind is lighter elsewhere across the country. so with light winds and lots of sunshine developing we are infora lots of sunshine developing we are in for a sparkling sort of day today. it will be breezy at around the east coast and there could be the east coast and there could be the odd rogue shower for eastern scotla nd the odd rogue shower for eastern scotland and down towards east anglia too, but much of scotland looks dry and fine. spells of sunshine, not too windy away from the northern isles of scotland. down towards northern england, dry, bright and sunny through into the afternoon. could catch a shower for
7:19 am
coastal parts of norfolk and essex, but most places staying dry. temperatures in london around 14 celsius. heading further west across the country, it is looking fine and dry for south—west england after any early morning mist and low cloud clears away. across wales too, a dry day in store. there will be spells of sunshine and cloud drifting around too. heading across to northern ireland, it should be fine and dry through the day. blue skies likely here with temperatures around about 12 celsius in belfast today. and then as we head through into the this evening and overnight, we will see the winds picking up. so windy, especially across parts of scotland where there could be gales tonight. the cloud increasing from the north with a little bit of patchy rain over the hills of western scotland and perhaps into north—west england too. clearer further south, that's where we will have the low temperatures. now, during saturday, quite a breezy sort of day wherever you are, windy across the northern half of the country. we could see
7:20 am
gusts of around 50mph to the east of the pennines, for eastern scotland too. less windy further south and there will be sunshine through many central and south—eastern parts of england, cloudier elsewhere and temperatures will range between around about 13 to 16 celsius or so on saturday. and then a bit of a change as we head into the second half of the weekend. the winds turn toa half of the weekend. the winds turn to a northerly direction. so it will feel cooler and fresher on sunday. but the cloud should clear away to the south leaving sunshine around too. temperatures by sunday, at around about nine to 15 celsius. so thatis around about nine to 15 celsius. so that is how the weather is looking over the next few days. decent conditions for many of us through the course of the weekend, but let's have a look here. we've got our live pumpkin carving going on. jamie, ta ke pumpkin carving going on. jamie, take a look at this. how are you getting on. she's getting there. she's getting there! she's doing all right, but we're going to be teaching this during the pumpkin carving festival on sunday. we have workshops so you can have a go as
7:21 am
well. if you have got great carved pumpkins that you've been doing at hom, we'd love to see them. send your pictures into bbc breakfast. back to steph and naga. that pumpkin has got yourfringe. back to steph and naga. that pumpkin has got your fringe. it was looking lu ke has got your fringe. it was looking luke me, and now it has got your fringe. it could be a morph of us! antibiotic resistance is a growing global threat that could cause ten million deaths per year by 2050 according to some estimates. as the risk increases, the government is taking steps to reduce unnecessary use of these vital drugs, both by people and in animals. fiona lamdin is at a farm in bradford—on—avon to tell us more. everyone is awake behind you as well. they are. defra told us this morning in the last four years we have reduced the amount of antibiotics used in food producing animals by 27%. how have we done
7:22 am
that? on this farm the calves are just waking up and having some milk, three years ago, all the animals would have routinely been put on antibiotics. just as a matter of course. now they have only got two calves on antibiotics. how have they done it? they are fastidious about hygiene, when you come in, you have to clean your boots and everything is so, so clean. cats hill farm in west wiltshire, a cow creche for 350 calves. we change the teats on the machines every morning and every evening. we take them out and clean them and put them this a pot of disinfectant solution. and just as you'd expect with a child's nursery, with so many young calves living in one barn, bugs are rife here. this process has really dropped antibiotic usage by about 50% across the calf group in here. it's just stopping the spread of disease through the teats with all the calves coming in all the time drinking and spreading germs.
7:23 am
jo's not unique, but her farming is progressive. taking steps to ensure her animals don't get ill. but when it gets cold, smaller calves like this one are much more prone to getting poorly and so they end up on antibiotics. so now, they're keeping them warm so they stay healthy in the first place. and just case that wasn't enough, on the outside, she has even installed blinds. we get a lot of ground level draft so we need to keep that away from the calves because itjust causes environmental stress for them and chills them down and can lead to pneumonia and therefore, antibiotic use. antibiotics on this farm are now only used when an animal is very ill. three years ago when we would have had batches of calves come in, they would have all been on antibiotic treatment, now we're just treating on case by case. so this week i have only got two animal on antibiotics. last week, it was only six. and over in somerset, bristol university is researching the global impact antibiotics have on livestock. sheep, cattle, pigs, poultry, any livestock, any animal for that matter
7:24 am
is susceptible to disease just like we are. using antibiotics to boost growth was banned by the eu over a decade ago. so farmers are now only using them to either treat or prevent disease. it's really important that we use less antibiotics because wherever we use antibiotics, bacteria can become resistant and those bacteria might cause disease either in animals or people. but it's notjust down to the agricultural world. here in the uk, it's us humans, which are consuming well over half of all antibiotics. compared with just 37% used to treat animals. today though, the spotlight is firmly on the farming community and the message is clear — with no new antibiotics being developed, less really is best. well, we're here in the nerve centre
7:25 am
of farm. we've got the feed and the milk. christian is from bristol university. people are worried if an animal has antibiotics get into the food chain. that's a myth. that doesn't happen. why is it important to cut out the antibiotics? so, can being be complicated, but we're interested in reducing the amount of antibiotics that are used so we are not putting pressure on the bugs and forcing them to get smarter than the drugs so we need the medicines to work when we need to treat diseases of animals and people. we learnt today, it is 27%, it is down by 27%, is there still more to be done? clearly, there is. we're proud of the ambitious nature that the livestock industries have taken. they have made a bold approach trying to do something. today we are expecting target task forces to announce other more even ambitious goals for reducing it. whose responsibility? it is all our spolt.
7:26 am
farmers, vets and families, we are responsible for using them as well as we can to keep them use. . jo, you are just as we can to keep them use. . jo, you arejust topping up as we can to keep them use. . jo, you are just topping up the as we can to keep them use. . jo, you arejust topping up the milk powder there for your calves. they look extremely hungry this morning. jo, look extremely hungry this morning. jo, tell us how hard has it been for you to adapt your farming? we have good results and it is getting into a new routine, we are working more on prevention rather than cure and trying to make sure we push to keep everything clean and healthy. well, this calf seems to prefer having a munch on yourjacket. we will be learning what they are doing at this farm and how they have reduced mass, massively reduced, the use of antibiotics here. fiona, thank you. you can see they're hungry. fiona, thank you. you can see they‘ re hungry. they've fiona, thank you. you can see they're hungry. they've noticed the
7:27 am
food going in. that's like me. they're hungry. they've noticed the food going in. that's like mem made me think of you, yeah! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. the daughter of a woman who suffered painful burns while a resident at a croydon nursing home says anyone worried about loved ones in care should speak out. 72—year—old polly dunkley badly burnt herself on electric heaters placed in her room at the elmwood nursing home. the care provider has been fined £45,000 for failing to deliver safe treatment. if they have got loved ones in the care homes and they're not happy about something to speak out. if you have suspicions of anything, speak out, but document everything. take photographs. back everything up. do things in writing. do not be intimidated by the system. the nhs has apologised for the misery it put patients through after a private ambulance company it was using stopped trading.

7:29 am
after an accident. a number of vehicles have been involved in an accident on the clockwise m25 — just before junction 25 for enfield — two lanes are blocked. let's have a check on the weather. good morning. the cloudy skies of yesterday have been working their way south overnight. today we are looking at a dry, bright day with sunshine. some of us could wake up to a slightly cloudier start. just one or two patches of mist around first thing, but they will lift. brightening up through the morning with sunshine. a little bit of high level cloud bubbling up into the afternoon, but nothing to spoil the day. with light winds, we are looking at highs of 15 celsius. through this evening and overnight, it will stay dry. we will see clear spells and temperatures will fall away. we are looking at an overnight low of seven celsius in towns and cities. a touch cooler than that rurally. a chilly start tomorrow, but it will be a bright one. we will see the cloud increasing as we move through the day, but holding on to some brighter intervals or sunny spells. a breezier day than today with that westerly wind, and highs of 15 celsius. as we move into sunday, the wind will start to ease,
7:30 am
but it will also spin around to more of a northerly which will take the edge off the temperatures. a largely dry day with sunny spells on sunday. just the risk of seeing the odd isolated shower, but that northerly breeze taking the edge off the temperatures. it will be a chilly night overnight into monday which means that some of us could be reaching for the windscreen scrapers by the time we get to monday morning. that's all from us. hello. this is breakfast with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. an investigation into the cyber attack that brought down parts of the nhs in may has found it could have been prevented if basic security measures had been in place. the national audit office says the health service wasn't prepared for the attack and must develop a clear plan to deal with future threats. nhs england says it has invested in improving security and stressed that no harm was caused to patients. we have been getting our act together. we are getting our act together.
7:31 am
we're putting funding in. we're putting education in. we're rolling out the programmes that were in place before this attack and we will continue to improve over time. hundreds of files relating to the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy in 1963 have been kept secret under the orders of president trump. nearly 3,000 classified documents were released as expected but some were held back after concerns were raised by the cia and the fbi. mr trump has given the agencies six months to make their case why the remaining documents should not be made public. senators in the spanish parliament will vote today on whether to impose direct rule on catalonia. the spanish government says it's the only way to calm the ongoing crisis but catalan leaders say they will respond by declaring an independent republic. thousands of children across england are not getting the mental health support they need according to a review by government inspectors. the care quality commission's damming report found that damning report found that
7:32 am
services are too fragmented and hard to access. the department of health says it is investing an extra £1.4 billion into children's mental health services over the next four years. a ceremony has taken place to cremate thailand's late king. thousands of mourners turned out on the streets of bangkok in a ceremony steeped in buddhist traditions. king bhumibol adulyadej died last october at the age of 88. two hawaiian women and their dogs have been rescued by the united states navy after being lost at sea for five months. that is a long time, isn't it? jennifer appel and tasha fueeaba, both from honolulu, were found more than 600 miles off the coast of japan. their boat's engine failed during bad weather in may while trying to reach the pacific island of tahiti. they survived thanks to a water purifier and a store of dry foods like oatmeal and pasta. that's incredible, isn't it? and the
7:33 am
dog is fine. they all look well, though, don't they? dried food and pasta. very happy to be rescued. what a story for some five months, can you imagine how you would keep your spirits up? it reminds me of the life of pi. it was a happy ending, they did not eat each other. life of pi was not real. anything else you been thinking about this morning? lots of thought on the world cup rugby league. it's hard to see past australia because they are the champions and they have got a finger in every pie basically. they have got someone involved in all of the 14 teams of the world cup. on lebanon on, one of their star players is australian. he's got lebanese heritage. ireland, scotland, wales, england, england
7:34 am
have an australian coach. if you can't beat them, join them. we're asking if wayne bennett can help and finally beat their nemesis for the last 22 years in the opening match of the rugby league cup in a couple of the rugby league cup in a couple of hours' time? one man who might know is the former great britain coach brian noble, who masterminded the last defeat inflicted on australia in 2006. and hejoins us from melbourne. good morning, brian. great to see you. what is your secret? wayne bennett has got them on dried food and pasta. what is the secret? beautiful weather, 27 degrees. you do think this england team can finally beat australia today? you have alluded to it already in the fa ct we have alluded to it already in the fact we have seven or eight players who are playing in the australian competition, the nrl, sam burgess,
7:35 am
and three or four other stars in the team. they are evenly matched, i think. it could be the character of our players to take them over the line. i think we have settled settled halfback partnership, player of the year from australia playing in the st george side and luke gale, in the st george side and luke gale, in the halfbacks for us, the super league man of steel this year, so lots of talent. i was around the players in the last couple of days and there's a huge belief they can do this. we've seen it in rugby union, as well. what difference does an australian coach make when it comes to facing the big southern hemisphere giants? well, the inside knowledge is imperative, really, mike. ithink knowledge is imperative, really, mike. i think the belief, it's the pressure word i allude to their because the difference between the teams over the last 16 years and the reason we have not got over the line is the ability for the australians
7:36 am
to play under pressure for the full 80 minutes and win a game in the last minute as they are in the first, so wayne will bring that level of intensity to the preparation which means our players will realise we have the talent and the physical prowess and it might be the physical prowess and it might be the bounce of the ball which separates the teams. and also, i'm sure everyone will remember four yea rs sure everyone will remember four years ago the heartbreak when england lost on home soil to the co—hosts, knocked out by new zealand. how much cannot be a motivation for england today, do you think? i hope not too much because we would hate to replicate that. i just think they are very ready. there was a huge belief in there and it epitomises the fact that that intensity and level of concentration you need, it was a dying death, the last play of the game at new zealand knocked the england team out and they were the lesson of the day. we
7:37 am
don't want to replicate that one today. we've got some wonderful footage of you in your playing days. first of all, we can see wandering into the dressing room at bradford northern still wearing your policeman ‘s outfit, your uniform. and also some pictures of you being sent off. i apologise for that fourth but all we can find. talk about your days of coming straight off the beat into the dressing room at how the game has changed. off the beat into the dressing room at how the game has changedm literally was that. you finished your shift and organised yourself to go to the training ground. you tried to work hard away from the field. it was more of a social game then so the camaraderie and team spirit was essential to try to get a performance. the athletes now are superb, really world—class, and the collisions we see them going into each other, i often like the game, whilst it's still a very safe sport and the techniques are good, it's a highly skilled sport, i often describe to people like playing
7:38 am
british bulldogs and being baseball batted at the every end of the ten metre run. it's beautiful, exciting and unbelievable sport. a little illustration of how those hits are ina illustration of how those hits are in a couple of moments. ryan, thank you so much for your insight and enjoy the game. there's live coverage of australia v england from nine this morning on bbc two and bbc radio five live sports extra. you heard brian saying how hard the challenges are in rugby league. i got a taste of it when i wore full protective bubble suits and i faced the charging leeds rhinos. this was last year. even with the protection on, look, iwas last year. even with the protection on, look, i was still winded. last year. even with the protection on, look, iwas still winded. you are ina on, look, iwas still winded. you are in a zorb. all the way over for some it shows what kind of challenges. did you enjoy it, though? no! ithought challenges. did you enjoy it, though? no! i thought i would. imagine doing that with no protection. it still winded me. i
7:39 am
asked for it, didn't i? you did, actually. you'd think it'd be a straightforward thing to pick eight teams out of a hat, but the quarter final draw of the carabao cup proved a difficult task. it was due to take place at 3pm live on twitter but a technical fault meant that it was delayed and ended up being recorded and shown two hours later. the pick of the ties sees championship club bristol city host manchester united. arsenal will face west ham, leicester city are at home to manchester city and chelsea take on bournemouth. talking of crunching challenges... britain's heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua, says he's ready to defend his ibf and wba titles in cardiff tomorrow night against the stand—in challenger carlos ta kam. the pairfaced off in the welsh capital yesterday. joshua was due to face the bulgarian kubrat pulev, but he had to withdraw because of injury. it'll be the briton's first contest since defeating wladimir klitschko, at wembley in april. a sense of deja vu
7:40 am
about the next story. martina hingis, says she's ready to walk away from tennis for the third and final time. this time she means it. injuries forced the former world number one to retire 14 years ago, after winning five grand slam singles titles. but she came back as a doubles specialist to win another 20 slams, including the mixed doubles at wimbledon with jamie murray. hingis will retire after the wta finals in singapore, as the world doubles number one. she was first world number one at the age of 16 in 1997. crazy. i remember watching her. she was incredible at such a young age. would you put money on her retiring? i would not put my house, i would put my shed on it. mike, thank you very much and we will see you a little bit later on. the time now is 7:40am. on the evening of the 22nd may, 22 people were killed and more than 200 injured in a suicide
7:41 am
bombing at manchester arena. while the reaction of the emergency services and members of the public was praised, a review is now looking at what can be learnt from the events of that night, and how all cities can be better prepared in the future. in a moment we'll speak to the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham, but first here's a reminder of how manchester responded. greater manchester police telling us they are responding to an incident at the manchester arena. all i could hear was screaming, people crying.” saw injured people. lying on the floor. it is just saw injured people. lying on the floor. it isjust been confirmed in the last few minutes that 22 people have been killed in an explosion at a concert in the city last night.
7:42 am
i want to thank the people of manchester. even in the minutes after the attack, they opened their doors to strangers and drove them away from danger. always remember, never forget. for ever manchester. applause we're joined now by the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham. good morning. it's hard to watch, isn't it? you we re it's hard to watch, isn't it? you were there that day and that evening and the reaction of manchester was overwhelming, really. yes, it was. the whole place came together. you felt the strength of our people. i don't think any of us will ever forget how we felt on that night. we need to learn from it, don't we? that's why i've set up as independent review to allow people
7:43 am
to come forward and say what happened to them and, crucially, have any questions answered. what other problems at the moment, four months on? at the time, it's getting those memories recalled from people who were there. that's the best time to get it. why is there a delay in people responding now? who has not got in touch to say what they saw, the smallest thing? people recover in different ways. it be earlier for some and later for others so it's why we took our time to set up this review and recommend to the point soon where they will be closing the date for submissions, so that's why we are e—mailing people today who we re we are e—mailing people today who were there or were connected to what happened on the night to say if you wa nt to happened on the night to say if you want to contribute, we do want to hear from you, good want to contribute, we do want to hearfrom you, good or bad. there we re hearfrom you, good or bad. there were many good things, incredible responses of the emergency services but actually, staff at victoria station, northern rail staff, went
7:44 am
and helped out, the arena staff, british transport police, so many people contributed and tried to help. and did help, so we want to hear about the good thing and also what was not so good because we have to ask those hard questions so that we can give answers to the families and also make things better if god forbid this were to happen in the future. you want information people's experience of this and what we you then do with this information? it's a report done independently, not by i have commissioned lord bob kerslake to carry it out. there will be a report in the new year looking at how prepared manchester was, greater manchester, and what then happened on the night in the moment and in the hours and days following in terms of the response to the families. there always will be a mix of things. it can never be a perfect response but as mayor greater manchester i am so proud of our emergency services and the people, the way everybody came together to
7:45 am
do what they could. it was right and proper to say, look, do what they could. it was right and properto say, look, let's do what they could. it was right and proper to say, look, let's ask some honest questions of ourselves to see if it could be better. one of the tough questions it about the fire brigade and how it was deployed. firefighters told the manchester evening news at the time, a few days afterwards, paramedics were in the year to need a back—up but they were prevented from going in and greater manchester mayor, you have responsibility for the fire and rescue service. why where they delayed, do you know, and what is the reason being given to them because they have expressed their frustration at not being able to do theirjob and help people? they express at the time and, to be honest, that was one of the reasons why i said i would set up an independent review so this was in the hours, days after the attack and we we re the hours, days after the attack and we were getting these concerns for the irish people and said, we will have this. when is this review due? an interim report in the new year. 6-8
7:46 am
an interim report in the new year. 6—8 months for them in the meantime, fire officers are frustrated than that others do happen again. you can't rush something like this, can you? they can't rush something like this, can you ? they need can't rush something like this, can you? they need to be empowered to do theirjobs. they do they can come forward and say what happened. in these moments there is a code. there was a sense there may have been more than one individual and in those circumstances, it is not all the case that emergency services should all go into the place, but you have got normal human reaction and common sense you might say and the willingness of many firefighters just to go and help. so, we have got to get inside those issues, what happened, was it the right response? and learn from it and that's the hole point of this review. are there any immediate changes? we have got the christmas markets which will start soon. will there be armed police at that? will we see any changes? it was an announcement yesterday that yes, there will be,
7:47 am
manchester city council, greater manchester city council, greater manchester police looked at arrangements for christmas markets and they are incredible attraction for us, but we want people to feel safe so the security has been reviewed to provide that reassurance that people will want. it has been a difficult year in the city. there is no getting away from that. what will that look like for people visiting manchester? it is a sight that people have seen in london. the bottom line for me, the leader of manchester city council and greater manchester city council and greater manchester police we have to do everything we can... barriers? yes. looked at physical barriers as well. there is changes at the arena people will have seen. the arena has reopened and we want, i want this review, to look at security both going into an event and coming out ofan going into an event and coming out of an event. i also is the security is focussed on whether people are
7:48 am
carrying weapons is it about protecting the revenue by checking up protecting the revenue by checking up on food and drunk. we need to ask the questions about whether security is as good as it should be and that's what this is about. honest k taking an honest look at ourselves and not patting ourselves on the back and giving answers to anybody who lost loved ones, who was injured or still is affected by what happened on that night because let's remember, there are a lot of people still recovering from what they saw. andy burnham, thank you. let's talk to sarah keith—lucas who is taking a look at the weather for us. good morning, sarah. good morning. i'm in hebden bridge for the first ever pumpkin festival. we have got clear skies around. through the day that means many of us will see decent spells of sunshine, but it means it is a chilly start to this morning. through the morning, there will be some mist and fog patches around across many parts of the country,
7:49 am
but once they clear away, plenty of sunshine around too. it is particularly across western parts of england, southern england and southern wales where we have got the mist and the fog patches. but i think they will clear away over the next few days and then for most of us, it is a day of light winds and blue sky and sunshine. windier across the northern isles. we could see gales developing. elsewhere, lighter winds and most of us staying dry. across scotland away from the northern isles, it should be less windy and there will be spells of sunshine and it should remain dry too. the sunshine continuing down across much of northern england so a dry afternoon to come. just the chance of a rogue shower across parts of east anglia, but most places avoiding them and temperatures in the south around about 14 celsius. heading towards the south—west of england, after the morning mist and low cloud clears away, we are looking at a sparkling afternoon with lots of blue sky and sunshine and light winds. a similar story across wales. dry and fine, just a
7:50 am
bit of patchy cloud drifting around. heading across the irish sea towards northern ireland, here also we are looking at a decent afternoon to come. just 12 celsius in belfast. feeling on the cool side, but some sunshine to compensate. and then this evening and overnight, what we're going to notice is the wind picking up across the northern half of the country. gales through parts of the country. gales through parts of scotland. there will be patchy rainfor of scotland. there will be patchy rain for the hills on the west of scotla nd rain for the hills on the west of scotland and cloud filtering south across the country, in the clearer skies it will be chilly as we start off the morning. so to start your weekend after that fresh start in the south, it will be a cloudy day for most places. windy too, particularly breezy across parts of scotla nd particularly breezy across parts of scotland and into the north—east of england as well. there could be gusts around 50mph. less windy further south and there will be spells of sunshine. most places looking dry. temperatures on saturday between around 13 to 16 celsius. and then a bit of a change into the second half of the weekend. we see the winds coming round to more of a northerly direction. so a
7:51 am
colder direction. they could bring one or two showers towards eastern parts, but most places again looking dry and the cloud should clear away towards the south on sunday, but it will feel colder than it has done recently with temperatures around nine to 15 celsius. the clocks go back during the early hours of sunday. i'm in hebden bridge where the pumpkin festival is well and truly under way. lots of installations of pumpkins throughout the town here and i'll show this one here. if you have ever seen the film cast away. you have got your pumpkin sitting on the island and he has got his ball there and wilson sitting next to him. further down the river, there is another pumpkin, but he's sitting in a kayak. we have got a live pumpkin carving by our professional pumpkin carverjamie. he's doing a brilliantjob and he started off with an untouched huge pumpkin first thing and it is taking shape. we will be checking in with
7:52 am
jamie later. that's it, back to steph and naga. it is amazing the imagination, you've got wilson from cast away. and one of naga i think earlier on! was that the gargoyle? no! thanks, steph. feelthe love here, sarah. feel the love! around three—quarters of people who book a hotel do so on a comparison site. do you ever get frustrated when they say, "five people have looked at this and only two rooms left. " i looked at this and only two rooms left." i don't believe them. there isa left." i don't believe them. there is a review happening. colletta has more. yes, most of us use hotel comparison websites to find out the best rate
7:53 am
but the body that ensures fair competition the cma is concerned that the clarity, accuracy and presentation of information on sites which could be mislead people and it's begun an investigation. nisha arora is senior director for consumer enforcement at the cma. good morning. you must be suspicious that we are being ripped off in order to the start the investigation in the first place? that's why we've opened this investigation. we've got concerns about the clarity, the a ccu ra cy concerns about the clarity, the accuracy and the presentation of information on the sites. what we're worried is that information helping consumers make their choices or making it more douf find the best deal. why would it be making it more difficult? the concerns we're worried about, you have been talking about the pressurising claims, we're worried that people are being bombarded with claims such as booked three hours ago, or six people are looking at this site. we don't understand the basis for the claims and we want to find out what it isment and we're worried that people might be rushed into booking under a false impression of availability. we're worried about the prices that people are being given. so for
7:54 am
example, people come on to the sites because they think they will get a great deal. they are tempted by a low price. they think great, there isa low price. they think great, there is a low price and later on in the booking price, they're surprised, unpleasantly, booking price, they're surprised, unpleasa ntly, by unexpected booking price, they're surprised, unpleasantly, by unexpected and hidden charges that are tacked on to the end. we're concerned about the discounts you get. so you will see things like was £400, now £200. we wa nt to things like was £400, now £200. we want to make sure that is a genuine discount. that that £400 was really on offer and that it's toolly a comparable price for the lower £200 and not just priced comparable price for the lower £200 and notjust priced for a really peak period that the consumer isn't particularly interested in. your investigations normally take a good few months. what should people do in the meantime? should we still trust the websites? so, booking sites are a force for good on the whole. they give, they help people save time and money. they give them a wide choice to choose from, but in order to be effective, they really need to give clear and accurate information. so we're going to make
7:55 am
sure that happens, but in the meantime people can help themselves. they can help themselves by looking around and using more than one comparison site, by comparing with a hotel directly as well so they have got a good source of information in order to make the best choices for them. and we also want to hear from consumers about their experiences with the sites because that sort of information is going to help us identify what's going wrong, what the impact is on consumers and whether they have been misled and whether they have been misled and whether sites have broken consumer law. when you were looking at energy and insurance comparison sites earlier on, found that they did receive money from a lot of the companies that they were promoting, yet you were still happy with that. is the same thing just going no happen here? as you say, we're happy that commission is used, what's important is people who are using the sites understand the business model. they understand the role the commission says. on hotel sites, when the listings come up, they are listed in a certain order. they are
7:56 am
ranked ina listed in a certain order. they are ranked in a certain order and there are recommended hotels. what we understand is there is that ranking and the recommendations are based not only on the customers, search criteria, but on commission and it's important that consumers understand that, otherwise they might be steered to picking the topic or the recommended site the recommended hotel when it is not really the best dealfor hotel when it is not really the best deal for them. the advice is to compare the comparison sites. it is getting ridiculous. compare the comparison sites. you can compare us as well, i guess! compare us, comparing! still could come: # rock you baby. we will bejoined # rock you baby. we will be joined on the sofa by clea n we will be joined on the sofa by clean bandit and get a look at the
7:57 am
new video which the band has directed. that got us moving. what eve ryo ne directed. that got us moving. what everyone couldn't see us was moving on the sofa badliment it's time to get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. the daughter of a woman who suffered painful burns while a resident at a croydon nursing home says anyone worried about loved ones in care should speak out. 72—year—old polly dunkley badly burnt herself on electric heaters placed in her room at the elmwood nursing home. the care provider has been fined £45,000 for failing to deliver safe treatment. if they have got loved ones in the care homes and they're not happy about something to speak out. if you have suspicions of anything, speak out, but document everything. take photographs. back everything up. do things in writing. do not be intimidated by the system. a reward is being offered for

7:59 am
before junction 25 for enfield. two lanes are blocked. traffic is slow past there anticlockwise too. all lanes on the m3 have reopened, but there are queues southbound between junction1 there are queues southbound between junction 1 and junction 2. let's have a check on the weather. good morning. the cloudy skies of yesterday have been working their way south overnight. today we are looking at a dry, bright day with sunshine. some of us could wake up to a slightly cloudier start. just one or two patches of mist around first thing, but they will lift. brightening up through the morning with sunshine. a little bit of high level cloud bubbling up into the afternoon, but nothing to spoil the day. with light winds, we are looking at highs of 15 celsius. through this evening and overnight, it will stay dry. we will see clear spells and temperatures will fall away. we are looking at an overnight low of seven celsius in towns and cities. a touch cooler than that rurally. a chilly start tomorrow, but it will be a bright one. we will see the cloud increasing as we move through the day, but holding on to some brighter intervals or sunny spells. a breezier day than today
8:00 am
with that westerly wind, and highs of 15 celsius. as we move into sunday, the wind will start to ease, but it will also spin around to more of a northerly which will take the edge off the temperatures. a largely dry day with sunny spells on sunday. just the risk of seeing the odd isolated shower, but that northerly breeze taking the edge off the temperatures. it will be a chilly night overnight into monday which means that some of us could be reaching for the windscreen scrapers by the time we get to monday morning. that's all from us. hello. this is breakfast, with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. the cyberattack which left thousands of hospital appointments cancelled — a damning report reveals the nhs could have prevented it. basic security measures hadn't been put in place now nhs trusts are told to "get their act together" to deal with future threats. good morning.
8:01 am
it's friday the 27th of october. also this morning... conspiracy theories deepen after hundreds of files relating to the assassination of president kennedy remain secret following demands by us security services. tensions rise in catalonia. the spanish government is expected to impose direct rule from madrid later today. regulators have launched an investigation into hotel comparison websites. i'm finding out what the concerns are about when it comes to booking your holiday online. in sport, can england make up for the heartbreak of four years ago, when they kick off, in the opening game of the rugby league world cup? they face hosts and reigning champions australia in melbourne this morning. and with halloween just a few days away, sarah's at a pumpkin
8:02 am
festival with the weather. iam in i am in hebden bridge for the pumpkin festival. there are amazing installations of pumpkins throughout the town and we also have a live pumpkin carving on the programme. we will have bought through the morning and a full forecast in 15 minutes. we look forward to seeing you and all of your pumpkin friends later! good morning. first, our main story. an investigation into the cyber attack that brought down parts of the nhs in may has found that it could have been prevented if basic security measures had been in place. the national audit office says that the health service wasn't prepared for the attack, which saw criminals freeze computers and demand a ransom. it calls on the nhs to develop a clear plan to deal with future threats. here's our technology correspondent rory cellanjones. it was an attack which froze computers around the world. but the nhs was among the organisations worst affected and the national audit office says it was ill—prepared.
8:03 am
the report details the impact of the worst ever cyber attack on the health service. 81 health trusts across england were affected, a third of the total. it's thought over 19,000 appointments ended up being cancelled, including 139 potential cancer referrals. what planning there had been to deal with a cyber attackjust hadn't filtered down to the hospitals. some work had been done on a national cyber response plan in the nhs, but that hadn't been well communicated to all of those local bodies and in some cases organisations had to resort to telephone and paper and pen and apps such as whatsapp in terms of communicating with others. those hospitals which saw computers infected by the malicious software had ignored instructions to install a security patch which would have protected them. now the nhs says lessons have been learned. we have been getting our act together.
8:04 am
we are getting our act together. we're putting funding in. we're putting education in. we're rolling out the programmes that were in place before this attack and we will continue to improve over time. there are more serious cyber attackers waiting to strike. hospital trusts are warning the government they may need to spend more money to strengthen their defences. rory cellan—jones, bbc news. hundreds of files relating to the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy in 1963 have been kept secret under the orders of president trump. nearly 3,000 classified documents were released as expected but some were held back after concerns were raised by the cia and the fbi. peter bowes reports. page after page. previously top—secret documents, many of them handwritten, from the investigation into the assassination
8:05 am
ofjohn f kennedy. it was november 22, 1963 when lee harvey oswald shot the president as he was travelling in an open top limousine in dallas. newsreel: it appears as though something has happened in the motorcade group. the official investigation concluded that oswald had acted alone. newsreel: president kennedy has been assassinated. it's official now. the president is dead. but more than 50 years later, many americans find it difficult to believe the official version of what happened. conspiracy theorists think information could have been withheld to avoid embarrassing government agencies. historians, journalists and legal scholars are now poring over the almost 3,000 documents just released, searching for clues to discrepancies in the original story or new facts to back it up. it includes a memo to the head of the fbi saying an anonymous phone call was made to the cambridge news newspaper in the uk from somebody who told a reporter there to call the american embassy in london for some big news. the call was made 25 minutes before president kennedy was
8:06 am
assassinated. several hundred documents have been held back for further scrutiny. there will be a six—month review period after the cia and fbi expressed concerns about their content. it's a move that will only fuel the conspiracy theories. peter bowes, bbc news. it is an interesting one, that. we will be talking about it later on. hotel booking websites are to be investigated by the competition and markets authority. colletta is here to tell us more. they have a number of concerns about the sites that we all use, in fact 70% of us, when it comes to booking a hotel, go to one of the websites. we ta ke a hotel, go to one of the websites. we take a look around and think we are getting the best deal. the competitions and markets authority are concerned that we are not when it comes to those websites. they say they will look up the ranking of the results to see whether the ones which are paying the most the websites get to the top of the list, rather than the ones with the best deal. also the idea of pressure
8:07 am
selling, when you see a button coming up saying that five other people are looking at this, only two rooms left, you only have five minutes to make the booking. they are also worried about extra hidden charges that might be added as a nasty surprise. people come to these sites because they think they are going to get a great deal. they are tempted by a low price. they think, great, that is a low price. later in the booking process they are surprised, and pleasantly, by unexpected and hidden charges that are suddenly put onto the end. hidden charges, claims that we are getting discounts when maybe we are not, they are all going to be investigated by the competition and markets authority and they will let us know at the end if we are getting a good deal or not. in the meantime, compared the comparison sites? yes, ta ke compared the comparison sites? yes, take a look at a couple of them and at the hotel themselves, to make sure you can't get a better deal directly. complicated! you will need a break in a hotel room after booking it! senators in the spanish parliament
8:08 am
will vote today on whether to impose direct rule on catalonia. the spanish government says it's the only way to calm the ongoing crisis but catalan leaders say they will respond by declaring an independent republic. our europe correspondent gavin lee is in barcelona. gavin, it has been a bit of a mess, this whole thing. are we going to get some clarity today? i hope that we will. you can hear the sound in the background, the sound of european cities, suitcases rolling everywhere. going back to the referendum, it has taken that long for the spanish government to legally put in the constitution in place, what they need to do to reassert control, in their view. the senate are voting on what is called article 115, which gives them the power to what we think will happen, they will remove the leaders from
8:09 am
office, the separatist leaders of the catalan government. it will potentially affect the autonomous police force, potentially removing the head of that and possibly affect the head of that and possibly affect the media organisation, which they argue is propaganda, tv 3. if that happens, we don't know if the vote will happen today, but it could happen over the course of the next few days. the catalan government, how do they respond? the president, he is walking a tightrope right now. there are many that say that the parliament may declare independence. looking at the papers, basically, director unilateral independence and goodbye is what that says. and this says that ca rles goodbye is what that says. and this says that carles puigdemont is going to insist on independence. if that happens, it is a recipe for unpleasantness. happens, it is a recipe for unpleasa ntness. if the happens, it is a recipe for unpleasantness. if the police authorities say they will remove ca rles authorities say they will remove carles puigdemont from power and people take to the streets to protect institutions, there is potential for trouble. but there are many variables between now and the end of today. thousands of children across england are not getting the mental health support they need according
8:10 am
to a review by government inspectors. the care quality commission's damning report found that services are too fragmented and difficult to access. the department of health says it is investing an extra £1.4 billion in children's mental services over next former careers. a ceremony has taken place to cremate thailand's late king. thousands of mourners turned out on the streets of bangkok in a ceremony steeped in buddhist traditions. king bhumibol adulyadej died last october at the age of 88. this is a call and a half. the voice of pope francis has been heard in the heavens as he made a video call from the vatican to astronauts aboard the international space station. what did he say? his 20 minute call to the crew included questions about love, life in zero gravity, and what makes them happy whilst they're in orbit. as if they weren't thinking about
8:11 am
enough while running a space station! we see the peace and serenity of our planet as it goes around at ten kilometres a second and there's no borders, there is no conflict. it's just peaceful and you see the thinness of the atmosphere and it makes you realise how fragile our existence here is. can you imagine getting that call? no. are you joking? someone can you imagine getting that call? no. are youjoking? someone is winding me up again! mike will have the sport later and sarah will have the weather. the killing ofjfk in dallas shocked the world. since that day, there have been lots of speculation about
8:12 am
what exactly happened and who was responsible. the us government was due to publish all of the last remaining classified documents on jfk's death this morning. but there has been a move that might let the conspiracy theorists enjoy this a little bit longer. a few hundred have been held back at the request of the cia and the fbi. earlier we spoke to tony glover, who witnessed the assassination. she told us what she remembered. i was 11 years old andi she remembered. i was 11 years old and i came from somewhat of a troubled family. i had in my mind that if i could get him to look at me and wave at me that somehow we would have a personal relationship and all the problems of my family would disappear. completely magical thinking, irrational. buti would disappear. completely magical thinking, irrational. but i was 11! soi thinking, irrational. but i was 11! so i begged my mother to take me there. you were on the road, watching the parade go by. what was
8:13 am
the first instance but you knew the president had been shot? well, i was on the corner of elm and houston. i was on a pedestal and i could see all the way around the plaza. he came by and they smiled, they waved and we were ecstatic. we were just in the ether. he turned a corner and was shot. within ten seconds it was the most wonderful moment and then a terrible, terrible moment. joining us now is dr michael hopkins, lecturer in american history at the university of liverpool. it is one of those events where people remember where they were, if they were here. can you remember where you were? i was watching the other channel, itv, mike scott, when he announced it. at the end of the programme they cancelled the next programme, emergency ward 10, which was live in those days. where you
8:14 am
shocked? i was shocked, was live in those days. where you shocked? iwas shocked, buti was live in those days. where you shocked? iwas shocked, but i was was live in those days. where you shocked? i was shocked, but i was so young that i was more worried about missing emergency ward 10. itm young that i was more worried about missing emergency ward 10. it it was good to hear that reaction, and we talked about the non—release of some of these documents. what was your reaction? my first reaction is about procedures. a six—month review of these documents, why couldn't they do that six months ago so it would be available now? who knows why. one wonders whether the justice department is not as well organised as it could be. the oppression is that the cia and the fbi had concerns about these 100 or so documents. what kind of concerns could they have? i don't know how something in 1963, considering how policing, terrorism, how it has moved on, how it could affect security now? there are two categories of concern most intelligence agencies have. first,
8:15 am
people. are people who were involved ata time people. are people who were involved at a time still alive and would their lives be in danger now from being revealed? their lives be in danger now from being revealed ? the their lives be in danger now from being revealed? the other is methods. what he would imagine is that the methods from 1963 have changed, but maybe they did something with telecommunications or something with telecommunications or something that they want to keep secret. the other thing about the documents, some of them were produced as late as the 1990s. the reports, assessments and so on. in the course of the document they might refer to more recent operations because of the connection between the kind of activities of the 60s and the activities continuing. really complicated. i tell you what i found really interesting when i was looking at this, the story about cambridge news and the fact that a reporter there have a call 25 minutes before the assassination. i know practically nothing about that. it was one of your team who told me about this. it's not unusual for those kind of rumours to occur.
8:16 am
if you go back to 1941, i teach about the lead up to the pearl harbor attack. in 1941, the us embassy in tokyo reported a rumour that they might be a sudden attack on pearl harbor, months earlier. and things like that occurred, but nobody mentioned much about it because there were so many rumours of other types of attack. the context in britain is that this is at the time of profumo, doubts about the macmillan government. i can't say any more than that, apart from one other thing: there was a conspiracy theorist who was in the cai -- cia who conspiracy theorist who was in the cai —— cia who was involved in this. is perhaps one reason why these security documents were released that lee harvey oswald was already known? i think he was already known. they had missed a beat? the fbi
8:17 am
bungled things. we know that at least one document was destroyed. there is a movie that is of the bit —— that is a vivid depiction of how lee harvey oswald was told to tear up lee harvey oswald was told to tear up the actual document of the threat. the fbi didn't handle it really well. the other thing is, the cia were monitoring lee harvey oswald, particularly on his trip to mexico city, where he met cuban and soviet diplomats. they claimed at the time of the warren commission that they didn't have any photographs or tapes of his telephone conversations. we are still waiting to see what they have. very interesting. thanks for your time this morning. it's time to talk to sarah about the
8:18 am
weather. but there is a pea soup fog in salford today. that vague light in the background is our studio, that line. it is foggy here. i don't know what it's like in west yorkshire, so let's find out. sarah is there. i'm here in hebden bridge. no fog around here, but we do is have —— but we do have some pumpkins with spooky characters carved. my personal favourite is this guitarist. one of the men involved in carving these amazing pumpkins is jamie wardley, and he has been carving this pumpkin for us throughout the course of the morning. we started off with a pumpkin untouched, and look at it now. the face is really taking shape. tell us about how you begin to car something like this. you get
8:19 am
one of these tools, take off the rind, and a new car about the main shape, then you might finish with tools like this one, and then this one for details. and the little stanley knife just get the sharp lines. i recommend wearing gloves. when you are here at 5am and is five celsius... thank you very much, jamie. we will check out the character at the end of the programme and see how he gets on in the course of the morning. it is a chilly start here in hebden bridge and across many parts of the country too. some mist and fog to contend with, particularly in the south and the west. that should clear quickly, leaving sunshine. through the day, it will turn breezy across the northern half of scotland. elsewhere, less windy. once any mist and fog clears away, lots of blue sky and sunshine, though it will feel fresher than it has done of late. looking at this afternoon's weather, across scotland, first, patchy cloud but sunshine breaking
8:20 am
through at times. quite windy for the northern isles, less so for the south. dry across much of northern england and down towards east anglia. just the chance of a rogue shower in parts of norfolk, but most places should stay dry. across southern england, temperatures around 14 celsius, dry and fine. further west, after any mist and low cloud clears away from devon and cornwall, it should be a fine and dry day with light winds, too. across wales, largely dry, with sunshine, and a little cloud developing through the day. with light winds, it will feel pleasant enough. northern ireland is is looking at a fine day. blue skies here, lifting temperatures to around 12 celsius. pleasant enough with light winds. this evening and overnight, the winds will strengthen, especially across parts of scotland, gail is likely at times. cloud increasing from the north and west. across southern and
8:21 am
eastern parts of england, with clearer skies, it will be coldest year, perhaps even a touch of frost on saturday morning. through the day on saturday morning. through the day on saturday, a windy day across the country, especially further north, with gayle is possible to the east of the pennines, eastern scotland, too. less windy further south. most places will be dry, but there will be some rain across the west of scotland. temperatures of 13—16dc. a change into the second half of the weekend, as the winds move round to a northerly direction, meaning temperatures are on the dip for sunday. then a return to sunshine, just the chance of a shower in the east, though most places will be dry. temperatures of 9—15dc. don't forget that the clocks go back during the early hours of sunday morning. i have a question for you: what do you get if you divide the
8:22 am
circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter? 3.1 four. pumpkin pie! -- pi! a good reminder about the clocks. i had forgotten. but you get an extra hour's sleep. antibiotic resistance is a growing global threat that could cause 10 million deaths per year by 2050 according to some estimates. as the risk increases, the government is taking steps to reduce unnecessary use of these vital drugs, both by people and in animals. fiona lamdin reports. cats hill farm in west wiltshire, a cow creche for 350 calves. we change the teats on the machines every morning and every evening. we take them out and clean them and put them this a pot of disinfectant solution. and just as you'd expect
8:23 am
with a child's nursery, with so many young calves living in one barn, bugs are rife here. this process has really dropped antibiotic usage by about 50% across the calf group in here. it's just stopping the spread of disease through the teats with all the calves coming in all the time drinking and spreading germs. jo's not unique, but her farming is progressive. taking steps to ensure her animals don't get ill. but when it gets cold, smaller calves like this one are much more prone to getting poorly and so they end up on antibiotics. so now, they're keeping them warm so they stay healthy in the first place. and just in case that wasn't enough, on the outside, she has even installed blinds. we get a lot of ground level draft so we need to keep that away from the calves because itjust causes environmental stress for them and chills them down and can lead to pneumonia and therefore, antibiotic use. antibiotics on this farm are now only used when an animal is very ill.
8:24 am
three years ago when we would have had batches of calves come in, they would have all been on antibiotic treatment, now we're just treating on case by case. so this week i have only got two animal on antibiotics. last week, it was only six. and over in somerset, bristol university is researching the global impact antibiotics have on livestock. sheep, cattle, pigs, poultry, any livestock, any animal for that matter is susceptible to disease just like we are. using antibiotics to boost growth was banned by the eu over a decade ago. so farmers are now only using them to either treat or prevent disease. it's really important that we use less antibiotics because wherever we use antibiotics, bacteria can become resistant and those bacteria might cause disease either in animals or people. but it's notjust down to the agricultural world. here in the uk, it's us humans, which are consuming well over half of all antibiotics. compared with just 37% used to treat animals. today though, the spotlight
8:25 am
is firmly on the farming community and the message is clear — with no new antibiotics being developed, less really is best. def have told us this morning that in the last format years, we have reduced the amount of antibiotics used in food producing animals like these guys by 27%. —— defra. three yea rs these guys by 27%. —— defra. three years ago, all of these animals would have been on antibiotics, but now, none are. we don't want to use antibiotics to put pressure on bacteria and then get smarter than the drugs. is the reduction of? we are very pleased with the way the
8:26 am
livestock industries have taken this up. we expect some bold targets later today for using these medicines more responsibly. let's go over tojo. you'rejust medicines more responsibly. let's go over to jo. you're just topping medicines more responsibly. let's go over tojo. you'rejust topping up the feed. how hard is it to adapt to this new way of farming? it is challenging, definitely. we have to look at different ways of doing things, but it is a good challenge. we're constantly for improved ways. we're constantly for improved ways. we are still using antibiotics, but obviously not as much. and do you feel the animals are happier?” think so. and you? definitely. here we have a very happy cows. but we leave you from welcher, and now the news, travel and weather wherever you're watching breakfast this morning. good morning. it is going to be
8:27 am
