1.5 billion users of whatsapp are told to update their apps urgently after a major hack into its encrypted service. it's not known how many users have been targetted. the hack allows access to your phone's messages, microphone and camera without you knowing anything about it. it comes in through a missed call, so it comes in through a missed call, so you don't even have to answer the call and the reports are also that the phone logs can be altered afterwards, so you may not even know on your phone that you have missed that call. we'll be getting the latest from our technology correspondent, who'll tell us what we need to do to protect our devices. also this lunchtime.... is it a watershed moment for reality tv? growing calls for itv to scrap thejeremy kyle show following the death of a guest shortly after filming.

police! the fight against organised crime — the national crime agency says it needs billions of pounds more. the five—year study which will look into the causes and effects of inequality in all aspects of life in the uk. opening its doors to the cameras for the first time — the rehabilitation centre providing expert care for servicemen and women suffering serious physical or mental trauma. and coming up on bbc news, uefa investigators push for a season—long ban in the champions league if manchester city are found guilty of breaking financial fair play rules. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. whatsapp is urging

its 1.5 billion users to update their app after it was targeted by hackers. the company says vulnerability in its app has allowed hackers to remotely install surveillance software on mobile phones without the user knowing. whatsapp, which is owned by facebook, said the attack targeted a "select number" of users, and was orchestrated by "an advanced cyber actor". here's our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones. 1.5 billion people around the world use whatsapp in the belief that it isa use whatsapp in the belief that it is a very secure way of communicating. now it has been revealed that a floor allowed attackers to install spywa re revealed that a floor allowed attackers to install spyware simply by making a missed call and that allowed them to monitor everything the user did on their phone —— flaw. whatsapp is a very pervasive application, it is on even when it appears to be off and also, it has very, very wide—ranging permissions, so very, very wide—ranging permissions, so it can obviously use your camera and video because we use that when

we are using the app. user of both apple's iphone and android devices are being advised to install an updated version of whatsapp. whatsapp owner facebook said it uncovered this vulnerability earlier this month and acted to fix it. it believes a select few users were targeted by what it calls an advanced cyber actor and the figure is being pointed at an israeli security company. nso provides surveillance tools to governments and has previously been accused of helping them to spy on human rights activists. they do sell to governments to use to fight crime and terrorism, but over the last couple of years, there has been mounting evidence that actually their technology is being used to target human rights defenders, to try and scare them to commit human rights violations against the human rights violations against the human rights defenders. in a statement, the israeli firm said...

keeping our communications secure from both hackers and government is a co nsta nt from both hackers and government is a constant battle for the technology companies. this flaw has been fixed. there are undoubtedly more yet to be discovered. and rory is here. just how significant is this? well, the sheer scale of whatsapp, the number of people using it and why they use it, makes it significant and it is also a huge target for hackers of all sorts because they know that people will feel secure on whatsapp, they will feel that their m essa 9 es whatsapp, they will feel that their messages are not vulnerable in any way and therefore may be more relaxed, it may be unaware. don't forget, the very nature of this hack meant that it just forget, the very nature of this hack meant that itjust came in through a missed call, you wouldn't know even that the missed call once there, you would have no idea that there was this hidden presence on your phone monitoring everything you do. we do know that it was, according to

facebook, targeted at a few individuals. it seems to have been used allegedly by a client of this israeli firm to target certain people, but the advice to everyone is to make sure your app is updated. sometimes it does it automatically but you should go to the app, check you have the latest version and, if not, update as soon as possible. rory, thank you very much. there are growing calls for itv to permanently scrap thejeremy kyle show after a guest on the programme died shortly after filming an episode. the show was suspended yesterday while a review is carried out. the chairman of the house of commons culture select committee, damian collins, has questioned the show‘s long term future, saying tv companies have a duty of care to the people who take part in their programmes. here's our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. steve dymond, who lived in portsmouth and was in his 60s, was a guest on thejeremy kyle show who died shortly after recording an appearance on the programme. his friends fear he took his own life.

the full story may not be clear until itv‘s investigation and any inquest is completed, but it has reopened the debate into the duty of ca re offered reopened the debate into the duty of care offered on shows like this. it is thought that during his appearance, steve dymond took part ina lie appearance, steve dymond took part in a lie detector segment to try and convince his fiancee he hadn't been unfaithful. she told the sun newspaper he had failed the test and she believed the results. he was saying, oh, ilied she believed the results. he was saying, oh, i lied on three questions. so the test was wrong, it's all wrong. i said i would go by it, i watch it every morning, i go by it, you know what i mean? definitely. i mean, i don't see the point of being on there in the first place to get results. you are doing my head in... senior politicians are 110w my head in... senior politicians are now calling for a closer examination on how guests are treated on tv shows like this. i think there needs to be an independent review of the

way the programme exercises its duty of care to the people on it, people's whose lives are picked apart on television for the entertainment of others and my concern is vulnerable people have been put in that position and, in this case, a tragedy would have seen to have happened potentially connected to someone's appearance on the show. itv says the jeremy kyle show has a significant and detailed duty of care processes in place. so what might this all mean for the broadcaster? i don't think it hurts itv. they have a hole in the schedule, they have some very creative people there, they will come up with some new format, so new idea. it is an opportunity as much as anything, but i think they are absolutely right to take the programme offer, i think they behaved impeccably. it is not yet known when the results of the itv investigation made be made public. lizo mzimba, bbc news. the head of the national crime agency wants her budget doubled to deal with what she describes as the "staggering" threat posed

by organised gangs across the uk. lynne owens says that law enforcement is at breaking point and warned the public will "feel the consequences" if the government doesn't find the nearly £3 billion in extra funding. our home affairs correspondent dominic casciani reports. police! shouting. the tip of the spear in the fight against organised crime. police in the national crime agency arrest a significant suspect this morning in the west midlands. the man held today believed to be part of a major human trafficking operation, holding women as slaves in the sex industry. this year—long investigation still has a long way to go. one man down, a battle won, but the war far, far bigger. but the war is far, far bigger. the agency's latest report reveals how the threat from organised crime is changing faster than investigators can keep up. there are now an estimated 181,000 offenders linked to serious and organised crime.

the main areas include drug dealing, human trafficking and sexual exploitation. the nca says the uk needs £2.7 billion more over three years to pay for extra undercover surveillance, financial investigators and cybercrime specialists. as criminal networks become more extensive, more sophisticated and, in many cases, prepared to use greater levels of violence, just at the point where resources are under the greatest strain. a plea today directly to ministers, saying it is time for more cash. some may say we cannot afford to do that, to which my response is simply this... we cannot afford not to. the net cost to the state, just to the uk, with organised crime is £37 billion. you know, that is a lot of money we are talking about and they are looking at a £3 billion increase, so roughly £700 million a year.

that £700 million a year would increase their effectiveness greatly. the nca's bold demand to more than double its budget begs the question why hasn't it said so before? but the agency argues the true scale of the threat is still emerging and the £650 million extra it says it needs every year is less than the weekly cost of organised crime, so is that an enormous cheque that ministers are willing to write? yesterday, a 12—strong gang that committed robberies from mopeds in london were finally convicted, intercepted and brought down after months of investigation. ministers say they have heard today's plea loud and clear. they haven't committed to a precise sum, but they have pledged to prioritise law and enforcement at the coming spending review. dominic casciani, bbc news. the cabinet has been meeting to discuss the state of the ongoing brexit talks with labour. some senior conservatives, including the sacked defence secretary gavin williamson, are warning theresa may not

to compromise withjeremy corbyn. the government's chief brexit negotiator, olly robbins, is heading to brussels today to discuss how changes might be made to the political declaration on the uk's future relationship with the european union. from westminster, here's our political correspondent jonathan blake. are you going to abandon the talks with labour? pressing questions for the cabinet this morning as ministers met to hear an update on brexit talks with labour. with little progress and no big breakthrough so far, time and patience for some is starting to run out. good morning. is it time to give up on talks with labour? well, we had the local elections a couple of weeks ago and i totally get the message is we've got to get on with brexit, we have to deliver it, so wherever that —— brexit, we have to deliver it, so wherever that — — whatever that takes, we have to deliver brexit urgently. the government plans might lead brexit negotiator olly robbins is going back to brussels to sound out the eu and a key labour demand, changes to the political declaration

that sketches out of the uk's future relationship. even if, and it is a big if, the tories and labour can do a deal, there is more and more proof that mps on both sides won't support it. at a meeting of parliament last night, mps on the labour side piled pressure onjeremy corbyn to abandon the talks, saying it would cost the party votes and 13 former cabinet ministers have written to theresa may saying a compromise on customs with the opposition would be a step too far. there is concern right across the party, including the loyal middle of the party that is prepared to vote for the agreement, but we promised to leave the customs union and there is no point in leaving the customs union and leaving the customs union and leaving the customs union and leaving the rest of europe unless you can be sure you will actually get the benefits of leaving, and that includes being able to negotiate independent trade agreements. labour seem wary of doing any deal now, given downing street says it won't sign up to a permanent customs union and any

compromise would be a stepping stone. we need to have further discussions about how we can, if we could reach an agreement, how we could reach an agreement, how we could lock that agreement in place. the government and labour are each taking stock of talks today. so far, it has been a slow process, with not much to show for it. jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster. our assistant political editor norman smith is at westminster. these government labour talks, is there any cause for optimism? to be honest, i think we are in dead parrot country, you remember the famous monty python sketch where and i ratejohn cleese is reassured by the pet shop owner that the parrot is not deceased, he is merely pining for the fjords. these negotiations area bit like for the fjords. these negotiations are a bit like that norwegian blue, they are not going anywhere soon and they are not going anywhere soon and the reason is nothing to do with the cabinet or anything that happens in the talks or whatever olly robbins gets up to in brussels, it is simply the fact that on both sides of the

commons, both sets of backbenchers are now vehemently opposed to any sort of deal and i suspect the opposition is now probably insurmountable on the labour side. as we have heard, labour mps fearful that they risk haemorrhaging support ifjeremy corbyn is seen to bail out mrs may and on the tory side, those former cabinet ministers pretty clear that mrs may risks splitting the party and also warning that even if she does a deal, it is not going to stick because a future tory leader can simply rip up the agreement. and so i suspect mr corbyn, when he reads that, we'll conclude there is absolutely no point in striking a deal with the prime minister because she is not going to be around much longer, so rather like that norwegian blue, it may be nailed to the perch but i don't think these negotiations are flying off anywhere. norman, thank you very much. the first person

stabbed by the london bridge attackers two years ago has told the inquest how he came nose to nose with one of the men. richard livett had been walking back from a nearby bar when he saw the attacker is' van crash. richard lister is at the old bailey. richard livett was the first witness to give evidence today in the inquest and he spoke very calmly about the events of the night of june the 3rd. just up to 10pm, he was walking back from the bar where he had been watching the champions league final when he was aware of a van crashing into railings outside a pub. the van, of course, having careened pub. the van, of course, having ca reened across pub. the van, of course, having careened across london bridge and been driven deliberately at pedestrians, killing two and injuring eight others. richard livett said at first i thought it was just livett said at first i thought it wasjust an livett said at first i thought it was just an accident, i didn't know it was a terrorist attack straightaway but he said the next sight that greeted me was a man who ran straight up into my face. he said they were nose to nose, no more than an inch or so between them and he said! than an inch or so between them and he said ifelt than an inch or so between them and he said i felt what initially i

thought was a punch in my back, which turned out to be him flailing his arm around the back of me and stabbing me. at that point, he could feel the knife, feel the blood on his back and realised he had been stabbed. he said at that point, the attacker who we later identified as khuram butt, moved away and went down the street and he tried to find a place to take refuge but a number of pubs and bars at that stage were locking their doors, they were aware of what was going on and no one would let him in and he eventually collapsed on the street and was attended by an off duty police officer and a soldier who happened to be passing before he was evacuated to hospital. the time is just after 13:15. our top story this lunchtime: 1.5 billion users of whatsapp are told to update their apps urgently after a major hack into its encrypted service. and still to come... we'll tell you why this fisherman's quiet afternoon is about to come to an abrupt end. coming up on bbc news, there's another chance for england's players to push for a world cup spot

in the third one—day international in bristol. there's a warning today that inequalities in pay and opportunities across the uk are now so extreme they're threatening democracy. the concern comes from the institute for fiscal studies, which is launching what is says will be the most in—depth study ever undertaken of inequality across the country. colletta smith reports. inequality is a big problem in the uk. in fact, we've got the highest income inequality of any developed country, except for the united states. single—parent families are much more likely to come from that lower income bracket. the gender pay gap gets even bigger after a woman has given birth. and men from the most affluent areas of the country live on average 10 years longer than those from the least affluent areas, and that's a gap that's

getting even bigger. there are plenty of obvious inequalities which this investigation will start with. how lower incomes impact children, the increase in the gender pay gap after a woman gives birth, and the regional inequalities and life expectancy differences between london and the north—east of england. but scratch beneath the surface and there are other inequalities that are less obvious to spot. james and bethany each have a postgraduate degree but they've struggled to make ends meet for theirfamily. they say that's because some of the people they're competing against for work have more money behind them to start with. we're competing with an elite and to compete with that elite, you could... you can do it but for me, as a parent, i didn't feel comfortable being, sort of, us being separated, even though we were a couple, and then working all hours.

bethany has decided not to work at the moment because they can't afford to pay for childcare if she does. the institute for fiscal studies say that failing to tackle inequality is storing up problems for our whole society. income inequality is very important, but i don't think it's as important in explaining what's happening in britain today, for instance, as inequality in access to education, inequality in access to health, inequality in political access. it will take a while to piece together, but the hope is that this investigation will not only describe inequalities but suggest ways to tackle them. colletta smith, bbc news. the rate of unemployment in the uk has fallen to its lowest since the end of 197a. it went down to 3.8% in the three months to march. however, for people in work, wage growth has slowed. our economics correspondent andy verity reports. if this is the tightest market for recruiting people in 45 years across the economy,

in the catering trade, it's off the scale. dan smith runs a restaurant in kent with a michelin star, but he can't attract or keep the chefs he needs. the number of vacancies in restaurants and also hotels is higher than everywhere else. just to hang onto people, dan's been offering four day weeks, equivalent to a big pay rise. it gets to the stage where, you know, you get a little bit desperate and then you have to offer that more money to be able to do it, for the business to be able to survive, otherwise it would get to the stage where we would have to look at closing an extra dayjust because we didn't have enough staff to do it. it's not the restaurant owners being greedy and trying to profiteer off their customers, it's a case ofjust trying to cover the increasing costs that we are facing. in the past year, the number of people working in the uk grew by more than a third of a million. most of them were uk nationals joining the workforce, up 190,000. the number of eu workers grew by 98,000, and the number from outside the eu grew by 80,000. most of the new uk workers were women in full—time jobs,

many of them 60 to 64—year—olds. some women who in the past would have been entitled to retire at 60 have to wait longer for their state pension, which has led many to stay in the workforce orjoin it for the first time. today's figures also show the amount each worker produces, productivity, took a drop in the first quarter of the year. productivity has been a big issue for the country over a period of time. and that is why we have national productivity investment fund of £37 billion focused on infrastructure infrastructure, focused on housing, focused on r&d and also digital infrastructure, and were making sure that when making those investments so we do get productivity up. a tight labour market can benefit workers in better hours and pay. living standards are now improving, with pay rising faster than inflation. but unless productivity improves, inflation—beating pay rises are going to become harder and harder for employers to afford. andy verity, bbc news. a man who claimed he was the victim of a paedophile ring involving

senior figures at westminster has gone on trial accused of perverting the course of justice. carl beech, who's 51 and from gloucester, was known as nick during an investigation by the metropolitan police which cost £2.5 million. our home affairs correspondentjune kelly is at newcastle crown court. what was said in court? carl beech made allegations against a number of prominent people, including lord bramall, the former chief of the defence staff, lord britain, who served as home secretary as leon britton, former tory mp harvey proctor and greville janner, as well asjimmy proctor and greville janner, as well as jimmy several, who proctor and greville janner, as well asjimmy several, who he also said had abused him. the prosecution said this morning that carl beech‘s help had been that those he had accused who were still living with end". it is now hidden in the dock. and today

the prosecutor told the jury that carl beech claimed he had witnessed no less three child killings and was subjected to rape, torture and sexual abuse by a number of prominent men. the qc said it was an extraordinary claim and also untrue. he spoke of the immeasurable distress caused to those that carl beech had accused, he said he had witnessed harvey proctor killing a child. what we can report for the first time is that while he was awaiting trial, carl beech actually fled the country and was arrested in sweden and brought back to face justice. he faces 12 counts of perverting the course ofjustice, one count of fraud, and denies all the charges. health professionals and researchers from around the world are meeting in berlin tomorrow to discuss progress in the treatment of the menopause. so long a taboo subject for many, scientists want to discover ways of improving our understanding of its physical — and emotional — impact.

it comes as mps say they'll launch a parliamentary inquiry into the difficulties women face when sharing symptoms with their gp. jayne mccubbin has been hearing the stories of some of those women affected. all of these women turned to their gp for help, but all tell me they were left looking for answers on their own. marcia and hyacinth‘s menopausal symptoms were passed off as other problems. i was told that i'm stressed, um, depressed. first of all, i was too young to be going through menopause, and then continued to constantly test me for sexually transmitted diseases. i spent two—and—a—half years fighting to be referred to a gynaecologist. three gps later then they did the blood test and found out i was actually going through menopause. you were right. yes, i was correct. even with a menopause diagnosis in the bag, sylvia had to fight for treatment. it was only when i did my own research and got in touch with a menopause specialist that i discovered i actually could — and should — be taking hrt.

they'd all searched for answers and all hit a brick wall. which is why eileen set up a reclaim the menopause support group right here in hackney. we were getting women coming to see us. it was the same story. they were going backwards and forwards to their gp several times. an absolute lack of knowledge. and the guidelines have been there for, what? four years. yes. good enough? not good enough. those guidelines were published for the very first time by the national institute of health and care excellence in 2015. four years on, the voice of gps admits it's still a work in progress out there. so, until now, the evidence has been contradictory and confusing, and there have been lots of myths, so it's been quite hard for health care professionals to know exactly how to manage women with menopausal symptoms. but now we've got good, clear evidence. the nice guidelines have been in place since 2015. it's still not filtering through, though, is it? it is, gradually. across london, the next generation of gps are having extra menopause training.

they've all elected to be here. none of this is compulsory. what we, the british menopause society, aspire to is that every gp practice has somebody with a special interest. it might not be a gp, actually, it might be a nurse practitioner. that's the aspiration. right now a campaign to make menopause matter is gaining support online, calling on the government to make training a compulsory part of gp education. he made me feel quite ashamed for having gone to ask for his help. 50 years after this bbc documentary said women were suffering in silence, women are still fighting to be heard. a parliamentary inquiry is about to be launched into why too little progress has been made in such a long time. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. every year hundreds of ex—servicemen and women receive help at the defence and national rehabilitation centre. it provides expert care for people suffering serious physical or mental trauma.

last year the centre relocated from headley court in surrey to a much bigger site at stanford hall near loughborough. and today cameras were allowed inside for the first time. our correspondent phil mackie is there. it would be running at full capacity sometime later this summer, they will be treating around 225 patients every year. today, we are the first television crew allowed inside. an early morning run on the new track at stanford hall. and for the patients treated here, the chance to work out in the gym. this is the first look inside the new facility where servicemen and women come for rehabilitation. steve lost his leg after being seriously wounded in afghanistan. he is still a serving nco. it's been vital to my recovery, because without it, i wouldn't have been able to recover and continue to recover. i've just had a revision surgery on my stump, which requires a bout of rehabilitation.

without that, i'd have been mentally, very, very and a pressure to get things sorted. this takes all the pressure off you. this site was donated by the duke of westminster after extensive building work and renovations, the centre, which replaces when at headley court welcomed its first patients last year. stanford hall is a purpose— built facility. it does what headley court did, just better. so it's easier to achieve what we need to achieve. we can build on what we learnt at headley court and do it even better. when they described them as state—of—the—art facilities, this is what they mean. this is the only machine of its kind in europe, and one of only six in the world. it allows a full assessment of injuries in a way that previously, wasn't possible. everything we do is driven by the functional requirements of the limb. so if you have a lower limb injury,

you will have movement dysfunction. you may have a limp, you may have a compromised joint. what we can do, by putting the patient on here, is give them real—time feedback, which will immediately give them a sense of how they are walking, we can correct it in real time, and accelerate that return to normal walking function. it's notjust the military personnel who are wounded in action, it's also where those injured carrying out other duties come for treatment, including sports injuries. i injured my thumb, just doing an awkward tackle. and, unfortunately, over time, i've now lost most of the function in my right arm. so i went through headley court, and had as much treatment and rehab as possible. and, unfortunately, i was medically discharged, but i've now got the chance to give something back as a staff member. what stanford hall also offers our places of tranquillity and, where necessary, solitude. the mental health of injured servicemen and women is regarded as equally important to their physical rehabilitation.

and there is still hope that in the relatively near future there will be an nhs facility on site providing similar treatment to civilians. if you wonder what happened to headley court, it is yours for £25 million or nearest offer. thanks, phil! now, we're all familiar with the phrase "you're going to need a bigger boat" — well, have a look at this. an unsuspecting fisherman was contemplating the afternoon when a humpback whale decided to make a rather big splash. this happened in monterey, just off the california coast, where salmon season coincides with the time when humpbacks are returning to to feed for the summer. this particular fisherman had a "whale" of a time. sorry! time for a look at the weather.
