10:31 am
year. our mission remains the same as it when was the ncfc was stood up, to make the uk the safest place to live and work online. what is different is the scale of the challenge in fulfilling that mission. i believe i'vejoined at in fulfilling that mission. i believe i've joined at an inflexion point that calls for sober reflection. because we find ourselves in a contest for cyberspace, a contest between those of us using technology to improve our lives and those using it against us. the uk has one of the most advanced technologies. we need it to improve our public services, keep businesses running and drive our growth and prosperity. those critical systems and services make attractive targets for hostile
10:32 am
states and malicious actors. they are increasing using our technology dependence against us, seeking to cause disruption and destruction. we have seen attacks that have brought home the price tag of cyberincidents. one showed us how dependent we are on technology for our health services and the attack against the british library reminded us we rely on technology. it shows how entwined technology is with our lives and attacks have human costs. in conjunction with this increased dependence is a threat landscape that is diversifying at speed. hostile activity has increased in frequency, sophistication and intensity. we can see this in the intelligence we can access through being part of gchq.
10:33 am
states and criminal actors are using cybercapability against using cyberca pability against organisations, using cybercapability against organisations, seeking to undermine us. last week you heard the chancellor warn of aggression of cyberactivity from russia. and with our partners we can see how cyber—attacks are increasingly important to russian actors, along with sabotage attacks, which we have spoken about recently. all the while, china remains a sophisticated cyber—actor with ambition to project its influence beyond its borders. in the autumn authorities in the united states reported that china state affiliated actors compromised the us telecoms networks. given the global
10:34 am
interconnectivity in communications we judge there is also a threat to uk data as a result. we assess that all sectors of uk society are under threat of data theft from this activity. notjust traditional intelligence targets, given the low threshold for information being of value. these examples illustrate the challenges we face and yet despite this, we believe the severity of the risk facing the uk is being underestimated. there is no room for complacency about the severity of the threats or the volume of threat posed by criminals. the defence and resilience of critical infrastructure supply chains and the public sector and our wider economy must improve. what has struck me more forcefully than anything else is the clearly widening gap between on the one hand the threat and our exposure to it and on the other the defences that are in place to protect
10:36 am
and on the other the defences that are in place to pr have cyberinsurance if they have implemented security controls outlined by the government programme. that remainsjust outlined by the government programme. that remains just a as relevant today. together we are going to have to change how we do things as our community innovates it must also build defences and through those defences and through those defences our resilience. we have to make sure that technology is working for us. as consumers, as users, as people. that the market for technology incentivizes a secure by design approach and no one treats securities a post crypt. regulations such as the new bill are crucial steps towards hardening the uk's cyberdefences. this will be an opportunities to broaden the scope of regulations to protect more services and supply chains, put regulators on a
10:37 am
stronger footing and strengthen reporting requirements to build a better picture of risk to the uk. it is not enough to talk about being resilient, we must all take the steps that bolster our defences, that improve and grow our capability to contest, that includes the ability to continue and recover on the occasions that attacks do get through and this is often overlooked. the organisation has believed that security is a team sport and that is true now more than ever. we need to work together to build an understanding of how dependent we are on our team mates. the rules haven't changed, but the field of play is evolving fast, we must act to safeguard our interests and prosperity. thank you forjoining us today. that you for “oining us today. that is the you forjoining us today. that is the conclusion _ you forjoining us today. that is the conclusion of _ you forjoining us today. that is the conclusion of the - you forjoining us today. that is the conclusion of the speech by the new head of the national

10:48 am
a former colleague who stalked her. it happened three years ago. her parents have been calling for better policing. earlier this year, they said they were going to help train officers on stalking. welcome to cheshire police hq. thank you. the government has announced six new measures to tackle the problem. they include widening the use of protection orders so thatjudges can give them to those accused of stalking, even if they've been acquitted. that would force them to stay further away. police would also get powers to reveal the identity of online stalkers more quickly. i think it's a brilliant step forward in what we've been campaigning forfor three and a half years, to make changes across the board in the way the police and the agencies deal with stalking. these six new measures are very encouraging. we're really pleased and excited about the changes that will be made. so, yeah, we're behind it ioo%. the safeguarding minister met with the national stalking helpline advocate to understand the challenges faced by staff dealing with these cases.
10:49 am
she says the new measures are a must. not having it helps nobody. strengthening them and making sure that the legislation and the guidance and the standards that sits around all parts of the infrastructure around stalking is all very important, but none of that will achieve anything unless we ensure that practice on the ground is also going, is being enacted. and that is true of all violence against women and girls. nicola thorp used to be on coronation street. it's her story that has inspired some of the new proposals. she was sent abusive and threatening messages for two years on social media by a man using 27 different anonymous accounts. the police told her that someone had been charged, but they refused to tell her who. it would have made a huge i difference to me at the time — not just to know the identity of the individual, _ but to rule out - all the other people in my life because they... this anonymous person
10:50 am
became everybody. - it was the man that. i got into a taxi with. it was the person at the bus stop. i just knowing that name, seeing a photograph of the person - who is making your life hell can - really make a difference. some of the plans announced today can happen quickly, but new laws will be needed for the others. ministers hope that can happen by early 2025. sima kotecha, bbc news. jaguar has unveiled its latest concept car in miami — the type 00. it's been a keenly awaited release, in large part because of the controversy that surrounded a teaser campaign for the launch last week. many on social media accused the historic brand of "going woke". let's have a quick look at that.
10:51 am
our international business correspondent theo leggettjoined me in the studio a little earlier to analyse how consumers are responding to jaguar�*s new direction. jaguar wants to gain attention, and in that sense, you could say it's played a blinder with that teaser advert and now the launch in miami of its concept car. and i should state that this is not a car you will be able to buy. it's a branding and styling exercise that is supposed to show off the brand's values, what it's aspiring towards. there won't be any new jaguars on the market, these new electric jaguars, until2026. so this is sending out signals about where the brand is heading and frankly, trying to gain attention, which it succeeded in doing. and so the big issue
10:52 am
for the brand at the moment is when you look at social media, people are quite angry about the change in its image, saying that it's gone woke. isn't that going to put off a lot of customers? it depends who is actually going to be buying these cars. whatjaguar is doing is binning its past, relaunching itself as a pure electric car maker and jaguar land rover, the parent company, is spending billions on doing this. so the question is who they're aiming at with these new models? they're going to be very costly. over £100,000 we think. three new models. so are the people who are protesting actually likely to be buying those cars? you could argue possibly not. jaguar is trying to move away from its past, which had descended into being a supplier of large, relatively opulent boss's cars, driven by that middle aged man who might have a set of golf clubs in the back of the car. it's moving towards something with a bit more edge, a bit more dynamism. but whether or not there
10:53 am
are enough of those people around to buy the kind of cars that jaguar is preparing to sell, that's the big question. it s the award that put contemporary art on the map — the turner prize has brought the likes of damien hirst, steve mcqueen and nominee tracey emin to public attention. now celebrating its 40th anniversary, the winner of this year s prize will soon be announced at a ceremony at tate britain in london. our culture editor katie razzall has been looking at the four shortlisted artists. # it's like a jungle sometimes. # it makes me wonder how i keep from going under...# blaring music from a 1980s ford escort. a vast concrete bracelet modelled on a real one taken by first lady of the philippines—turned—convict, imelda marcos. the snake—haired medusa of greek myth in a hand—painted canopy. and a painting inspired by the death of george floyd. four artists vying for a prize created a0
10:54 am
years ago to increase interest in contemporary art. people were really uninterested in contemporary art before about 1990. you know, you put a sign up saying "contemporary art show", people would have queued the other way to avoid it. and the turner prize played a huge role in changing that. some shouted, "is it art?" in the prize's heyday, about rachel whiteread's house, damien hirst�*s cows in formaldehyde, tracey emin's unmade bed. but the turner got people talking. the turner prize, and maybe the art world in general, has rather won that argument, and people no longer — you know, the instinctive response isn't usually, "is it art?" it's more, "does this interest me?" and now, what is the point of the turner prize? well, the point of the turner prize is still to champion art, and today's artists — particularly artists that, you know, the jury feels — and i suppose we feel — are breaking new ground.
10:55 am
that new ground for delaine le bas is a wild and vibrant immersion into her british roma heritage. she says she's been described as a gypsy hippie punk. philippines—born pio abad explores colonial legacies. he says imelda marcos is his muse and monster. the wife of the deposed dictator hid herjewellery in her grandson's nappies when she fled the country. claudettejohnson's made it her mission to represent black people — particularly black women. her large—scale drawings and paintings tell a different story of britain. and jasleen kaur reflects on her indian heritage and upbringing in glasgow — using objects from everyday life to ask, "who's writing our histories?" as ever, the turner prize has divided the critics. and every single year there's been something people pop up about and say, "oh, no, it needs more painting! oh, no, it needs less video."
10:56 am
it's recently gone through some big downs. this show is a bit of an up, i think, so you can rely on the turner prize being unreliable. tonight one artist will win £25,000 and hope for a turner prize bounce. katie razzall, bbc news. we will bring you news of the winner later on this evening. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. a few changes ahead, in northern ireland and scotland. western scotland in particular. western scotland in particular. we have cloud increases and outbreaks of rain. the odd shower around the irish sea and grey and murky for some in cornwall. temperatures not rising a huge amount. four or five degrees in the afternoon in eastern scotland and northern england. with rain in the hebrides to end the day, as it hits the colder air you can
10:57 am
see some snow for a time. that will clear, the rain that we have will push south and turn into showers across northern england, midlands and also wales. southern areas staying try. staying dry. it will be cold enough for some frost and icy conditions, particularly where we have had rain. a bright start a dry start, always more cloud through wales, parts of central and southern england, some rain likely here first thing. many will stay dry. bigger changes in the west. northern ireland will turn wet by the end of the afternoon. rain in western scotland. turning milder here. whereas it is chilly in eastern england. it could turn chilly in the evening before milder wetter weather moves in. rain lingering in east anglia and the south—east first thing and
10:58 am
then showers for a time. many will become dry, but then wet and windy weather pushes in. in fact it will be windy for 2h hours leading up to thursday afternoon in scotland. a milder day with temperatures back into double figures. the rain clears on friday and back to sunshine and showers and cooler on friday and then the potential for something stormer. we will keep an eye on the times, but for england and wales some windy conditions and some a lot of rain too. see you soon.
