pedestrians. the driver abandoned the vehicle, wielding fake guns after hitting a school bus. he was then shot by an officer. eight people were killed and ii then shot by an officer. eight people were killed and 11 injured. those who died included five friends from argentina in their late 40s there to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their graduation from anniversary of their graduation from a polytechnic college. a belgian woman visiting the city with her sister and mother was also killed. the attacker has been named as sayfullo saipov. he was from ozbek —— was pakistan. the uzbek government has offered its support in any investigation as police seek a nswe i’s. in any investigation as police seek answers. the investigation is ongoing. the best evidence we have is that he was a lone wolf and they have a very simple play. rent a car, re nt have a very simple play. rent a car, rent a truck, create mayhem. donald trump as says —— said he wants stricter border controls after another attack by what he called a second deranged person.

he tweeted. .. today new york is once again dusting itself down after another unexpected and shocking strike so close to the site of the september the 11th attacks. we know that this action was intended to break our spirits. but we also know new yorkers are strong, new yorkers are resilient and our spirit will never be moved by an act of violence, and act meant to intimidate or us. but now the wave of truck —based terror attacks has spread to new york, there is a need for greater vigilance and

intelligence to stop any more attacks front—loading this skyline. mark labelle, bbc news. the suspect is reported to have arrived from uzbekistan in 2010, and is thought to be a legal resident in the us. sayfullo saipov is the latest in a number of terror suspects to emerge from the central asian country. frank gardner has been looking at the growing security threat from the region. sayfullo saipov, the suspect behind new york's worst terror attacks since 9/11. he is an uzbek national who entered the us legally seven yea rs who entered the us legally seven years ago. police have been examining the truckee drove, the deep role he hired from is cooperating with the fbi. it is thought to contain a note from isis. it doesn't mean the attack was directed by them. most signals indicate this was a lone wolf inspired by isis. there was very

little planning or organisation coming from isis central in iraq or syria. because of his amateurish actions, he took eight lives and not more. sao paulo saipov grew up in tashkent. —— sayfullo saipov. a former neighbour who knew him spoke to the bbc today. he was kind of a little bit aggressive, is street boys. —— a street boy. he was little... he wasn't an islamist or something. there was no sign. what do we know about uzbekistan‘s links to militant islam 7 do we know about uzbekistan‘s links to militant islam? a former soviet republic, is had —— it has had a highly repressive government. it has been battling an insurgency and

thousands of left to join isis. ozbeks carried out several attacks in europe this year. a nightclub attack in istanbul. in april, a metro pet —— metro train in saint petersburg. that same month, and ozbek drove into a crowd in stockholm, killing four people. in raqqa and syria until recently, the group has been defeated. but that will not spell an immediate end to attacks inspired by its ideology. its remaining leaders are now dispersed and desperate for revenge. frank gardner, bbc news. nada tawfik is in new york. what is the latest? i'm less than a block away from the where this deadly attack took place on the bicycle path here in lower manhattan. as you can see, authorities still have large parts of the west side highway cordoned

off. this is very much still an active investigation, with forensic teams on the scene collecting evidence. we know from the new york governor that this was an attack that was perpetrated by sayfullo saipov. he was domestically radicalised, the governor said. he also confirmed the authorities are looking into a note left in his vehicle that referenced the group hollinger itself islamic state. now this investigation is spreading to other states. the driver was living in newjersey as recently as six months ago. it is said he rented the truck there. authorities have been visiting a store asserting that area and a van left in the parking lot. they are also searching his home in florida. here i am just ride by a local elementary school that was on lockdown. new yorkers are trying to

come to terms with what happened. one parent i spoke to said she tried to explain to her kids yesterday that new york is still save and to not be afraid. we know the city is trying to move on. last night they held the halloween parade as normal. plans for the marathon this weekend are scheduled to go ahead as planned. thank you. cabinet minister damian green has strongly denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards a female conservative activist. kate maltby has alleged in the times newspaper that mr green "fleetingly" touched her knee while giving her career advice in 2015, and sent her a "suggestive" text message in 2016. damian green says the claims are "completely false. " here's ben wright. damian green is facing questions about his conduct. all of the allegations are completely false. all of the allegations are

com pletely all of the allegations are completely false, he said this morning, clearly angry at claims made by this woman, killed more —— —— kate maltby. senior on the same television programmers damian green injuly. now she has published a piece in the times newspaper claiming that in 2015 mr green made some suggestive comments and fleetingly touched their —— her knee when they met for a drink in a pub. kate maltby also says damian green centre a flirtatious text message in may last year, which she ignored. she described feeling awkward, embarrassed and professionally compromised. damian green has instructed libel lawyers over the claims. now one of the most senior members of the cabinet, mr green said ina members of the cabinet, mr green said in a statement he has known kate maltby says 2014 and the pair had a drink twice yearly.

the prime minister has asked the cabinet office to investigate these claims of inappropriate behaviour by damian green, who is the latest and most senior politician to be caught up most senior politician to be caught up in the allegations swirling around westminster, many of which are fiercely denied by the mps involved. for instance, justice minister dominic rabi today said any insinuation he is engaged in anything resembling sexual harassment or lewd remarks is false and malicious. he has already taken legal advice. but politicians from all parties agree that parliament needs to find a way staff can make complaints about sexual harassment. the government has committed to do that. mps save behaviour has to change as well. the most important

thing is to change the culture of entitlement by some older men who think theyjust entitlement by some older men who think they just have entitlement by some older men who think theyjust have a right to prey on younger women or men that they have a power relationship with. it is an abuse of power and it has to stop. both main party leaders said they were deeply concerned about allegations of harassment.” they were deeply concerned about allegations of harassment. i have written to all party leaders inviting them to a meeting next week to discuss a comment transparent independent grievance procedure for all those working in parliament. we have a duty to ensure that everyone coming here to contribute to public life is treated with respect. we need better protections for all in this house. this house must involve workplace trade unions. it is also incumbent on all parties to have robust procedures in place to protect and support victims of sexual abuse and harassment. whether or not there are more allegations about the behaviour of politicians in the coming days, mps are politicians in the coming days, mps a re clear politicians in the coming days, mps are clear that the culture here

needs to change. ben wright, bbc news. norman smith is in westminster. norman, mrs may has since then been setting out her own plans to tackle sexual harassment? her view appears to be that any new system has to be independent of the political parties. that deters too many women from making complaints. instead you have to have a system run by parliament and covers everyone working at parliament. notjust mps' employees but parliamentary staff and journalists working here as well. but she herself came under attack for her response to allegations of sexual misconduct, challenged by labour mp lisa nandy that when she was home secretary she had ignored warnings made to when she was setting up the enquiry into his doric claims of child abuse that the conservative whips office was holding information on tory mps

about sexual misconduct, to ensure their loyalty to the party. mrs may promised to respond and to look into the issue. but you do have a sense that far from the issue. but you do have a sense that farfrom going the issue. but you do have a sense that far from going away, the issue. but you do have a sense that farfrom going away, this the issue. but you do have a sense that far from going away, this whole issue around sexual misconduct is beginning to build and build. more women feel confident and prepared to come out and make allegations across a huge range of different offences from the most serious involving failing to respond to claims of raich mac —— rate, to being forced to buy six toys, two ministers placing their hands on a female's me. one senses this is now beginning to snowball. and we have perhaps reached a tipping point where more women at westminster believe now is the time to speak out and that the storm may be about to break over westminster. thank you. a second man has alleged that the hollywood star, kevin spacey, behaved inappropriately towards him in the 1980s.

earlier this week, mr spacey was accused of making sexual advances also in the ‘80s towards a 14—year—old boy. now, another person has alleged that, when he was 17, the actor tried to get him into bed when he was staying at his new york apartment. kevin spacey‘s representatives were approached for a comment but haven't yet responded. the man, now in his 50s, wants to remain anonymous. sophie long has this report. kevin spacey, one of the biggest names in film, theatre and television. they say we get the leaders that we deserve. his portrayal of president frank underwood in house of cards has mesmerised millions for years but in recent days netflix suspended production of the hit political drama after actor anthony rapp accused kevin spacey and sexual advances towards three decades ago when he was 14. kevin spacey apologise saying he did not remember

the encounter but was beyond horrified. now another man has told the bbc anonymously is he was left traumatised at the age of 17 when he woke up to find kevin spacey holding him after he refused to share a bed with the actor the night before. kevin spacey would then have been 26. in the morning i woke up and his head was on my stomach and his arms wrapped around my torso. very affectionately i would suppose. it certainly was not aggressive but it was affectionate and not something i was affectionate and not something i was comfortable with as a heterosexual male. not something i was going to jump heterosexual male. not something i was going tojump out of a heterosexual male. not something i was going to jump out of a window over. speaking exclusively to the bbc he said that he did not think anything sexual had happened but that he felt that he was being groomed in some way. you know what i felt was that i was being manipulated. and that i was in over my head. this was an adult and i was

not an adult. anthony rapp said kevin spacey seemed drunk when he alleges he made sexual advances. this man said no alcohol was involved. you know what i'd felt was that i was being manipulated. and that i was being manipulated. and that i was in over my head. this was an adult and i was not yet an adult. the old vic, the london theatre where kevin spacey worked for 11 yea rs has where kevin spacey worked for 11 years has set up a confidential complaints process for anyone who may want to come forward. sophie long, bbc news. our top story this lunchtime. president trump orders increased vetting at us borders — after yesterday's truck attack in new york. and still to come — 100 days until the winter olympics in south korea, but will the games be overshadowed by tensions in north korea? coming up in sport. wales manager chris coleman says he still has "no idea" about his future —

admitting next month's friendlies could be his last as an international manager. a review of the experiences of families of the hillsborough victims says there should be a new law to make it an offence for public bodies to cover up failures. bishop james jones was asked to write the report after inquests into the deaths of 96 liverpool fans in 1989 found the victims were unlawfully killed, and that errors by police and the ambulance service contributed to their deaths. the review says that public authorities need cultural change to stop what it calls the "burning injustice" in the way bereaved relatives are treated following a tragedy. danny savage is in liverpool. i can't stress enough the serious nature of what's happened at hillsborough today... when 96 people died in the hillsborough disaster what the families had to go through was terrible. not only did they have to deal with the loss of a relative, the experience of identifying

a body, through to getting questions answered, was harrowing. it all took its toll. today proposals to stop anybody going through such an ordeal again were revealed to the hillsborough families. we are still suffering mentally, physically. a lot of people are not here today because of what hillsborough has done to them. i said many times over the years that there were two disasters. the one on the day and the one in the aftermath where we were all treated pretty terribly. you can ask me anything you want to and i will answer... the experience of the families has been investigated by a former anglican bishop of liverpool. his report looks at what happened and what could've been done better. it makes uncomfortable reading for the authorities, described as being patronising, and prioritising reputation over accountability. suggestions for any future incidents include a charter for families bereaved through public tragedy, which recognises that authority

is open to challenge. publicly funded representation for families. and and end to public bodies spending limitless sums defending their reputation. and a duty of candour for police officers to address the issue of those who fail to cooperate fully with investigations. there was a broadly positive reaction to the report from the families this lunchtime. people have a right no matter who they are, they have a right for truthfulness, honesty, integrity, accountability. they have a right to that from the very beginning and i hope that this helps to avoid any other disaster, that they learn lessons from it. the report author says public bodies and big organisations must change. what the families found is that when they challenged the institution, the institution closed ranks and put their own reputation above the needs and the rights of the individual. and it is that which has to change and what i'm calling for in this

report is that leaders of our public institutions should read this report and should sign up to the charter. the enquiry into the grenfell tower disaster is one incident where today's recommendations could have an effect. the message is that the voices of victims and their families in public disasters must be heard and be prioritised. the nhs in england has revealed it's losing over a billion pounds a year through fraud. cases include patients falsely claiming for exemptions on dental and prescription fees, and dentists charging for work they haven't done. the nhs counter fraud agency has described the scale of the loss — which amounts to around 1% of the overall heath budget — as "despicable". our health correspondent rob sissons reports. nhs fraud, we are told, has to be tackled on many fronts. now bosses are appealing to honest, dedicated nhs staff to report anyone they suspect of committing a crime.

patients sometimes fiddle the system, falsely claiming for free prescriptions or dentistry. professionals including dentists have been caught claiming for services not provided. and suppliers have been known to overcharge for items of a higher quality or number than those delivered. earlier this year paula vasco knight, the former boss of torbay hospital in devon, was convicted of defrauding the health service of £11,000. she paid her husband, seen here on the left, for work he didn't do. now the head of the new organisation fighting fraud says her aim is to see more people convicted. nhs staff can really help us to identify fraud and fraudsters and to really put a stop to people taking money out of the system. so if you're in the nhs and you are working in the nhs, please report any thing

suspicious to us. and if you are a fraudster and you are committing fraud in the nhs, then we are looking for you and we will find you. the royal pharmaceutical society accepts there is more that can be done to counter fraud. but warns that some cases are sensitive. i think there is a real difference between criminal activity and fraudulent activity which we absolutely agree needs to be cracked down on hard and the fact that people are really struggling to afford essential medication which they need to stay well. the nhs accepts that the one and a quarter billion pound annual fraud figure is an estimate. most cases are undetected. rob sissons, bbc news. the health secretaryjeremy hunt is meeting the big social media companies, including facebook and twitter, to discuss cyber—bullying, and the mental health of young people. mr hunt is expected to challenge them to do more to deter under—age users. our health editor hugh pym is here. what does jeremy hunt what doesjeremy hunt want from

these companies? jeremy hunt has been preparing with downing street and across whitehall government policy statement on children and adolescent mental health in england. that is due in the next few weeks and he is meeting today with saucy —— with social media companies as pa rt —— with social media companies as part of the process. he thinks they need to be part of the solution to the broader mental health problems for young people and he called the mint, representatives of facebook, google, twitter, microsoft and snapchat and he challenged them on what they were doing about cyber bullying, but there were going to do about underage use of social media young people. a spokesperson for facebook and instagram said they very much wanted to promote a good experience on social media, they we re experience on social media, they were happy to work with ministers and they were taking initiatives, for example automated filters to do with offensive content. is anything likely to happen as a result of this

move? jeremy hunt has asked them to go away and work out a plan in response to his challenges and say what they might do and come back in four months‘ time. one of his particular concerns is around possibly warning young people that if they have been online for a long time that some kind of pop—up would come up but many people would say that this is all words and it is going to need action. and it is a big challenge across the piece for young people and mental health. thank you. aboriginal authorities have decided to stop tourists from climbing uluru — one of australia‘s most famous landmarks. the giant red sandstone monolith, formerly known as ayres rock, is sacred to indigenous people — and aboriginal landowners have long complained about travellers scaling the site and have ordered a ban that is expected to start in 2019. from sydney, phil mercer reports. aboriginal leaders say that uluru shouldn‘t be treated like a theme park. to them the huge rock that is almost 315 metres high is a sacred

place like no other. the local people believe that simply by touching the ochre red sandstone, they can communicate with the gods of creation and receive blessings from their ancestors. the rock was handed back to its traditional indigenous owners in 1985. since then they have urged tourists not to climb uluru and elders believe a ban has broad public support. translation: i work with lots of visitors on a daily basis. i do it all the time, and if anything they ask us when we will close the climb. for traditional owners, seeing non—aboriginal visitors scale the iconic monolith is to witness the desecration of a holy site. officials hope that the ban will restore dignity to a special place. we will need some experts to help us work out how

we restore and rehabilitate if that is what the traditional owners want. and how i think the word that was used today, was how we heal some of the scars that might be on uluru. while bad weather and safety concerns have led to the rock often being closed, many travellers have stopped climbing it out of respect for indigenous culture. those falling numbers have triggered a clause in a management plan that gives aboriginal groups the authority to order a ban. it is expected to come into force in two years‘ time. but for some tourists it is a move that will cause disappointment. everyone does a base walk but i think you would have a heart warming story to tell, you know, like something that was a little bit more passion driven when you actually finally get to the top. more than 250,000 people visit each year. indigenous leaders believe they will still come,

despite the ban, and experience the majesty and wonder of australia‘s big red rock and its shifting colours from the ground. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. a plane carrying the olympic torch has landed in south korea, 100 days before the 2018 winter olympics begin in the city of pyeongchang. but the event will take place amid regional tensions — with north korea in a nuclear standoff with the united states. mark lowen sent this report from south korea. lighting the way to the winter olympics. the flame carried carefully into south korea en route from greece. a symbol of the olympic spirit that this country hopes will burn brightly, 100 days from now. the 2018 kilometres long relay echoing the year of the 23rd winter games. the olympic games have begun, proclaimed the head of the organising committee.

the republic of korea and pyeongchang are ready to welcome people from all around the world. the 13 venues in this mountain resort are indeed nearing completion. pyeongchang is on schedule to welcome 15 disciplines with 102 medals up for grabs. but the worry is ticket sales. just 30% have been sold. the organisers hoped half would have been bought by now. one reason for slow sales abroad is the soaring crisis in north korea which has stepped up long—range missile and nuclear tests and engaged in a war of words with the us. south korea hopes the games might ease tensions and wants the north to participate. a figure skating pair has qualified but pyongyang hasn‘t yet said if it will take part. the threat over the border isn‘t worrying the british athletes already here. we‘re here to focus on performance.

and our training and preparation. obviously the media and everybody are rightly focused on those tensions. but we have evacuation plans in place. we have done all the preparation with the british olympic association and so we are not letting it affect or distract our preparation for the winter games. the hope is that the arrival of the olympic flame here, the torch relay and these public events might finally enthuse south koreans about their games. and generate a late surge in ticket buying. because the home crowd will be needed all the more especially if concerns about the north korean crisis are making some abroad reluctant to come here. they have dubbed it the olympics for peace and harmony. putting their faith in the power of sport to unite. and in that ancient belief, the olympic truce. mark lowen, bbc news, seoul. time for a look at the weather with stav da naos.
