Hello.

It's Friday, it's 9

o'clock, I'm Chloe Tilley,

welcome to the programme

A cyber attack that crippled parts

of the NHS back in May could have

been avoided if certain security

measures had been in place.

A report into the incident

that froze computers,

causing operations to be cancelled,

says that the health

service was just not

prepared for an attack.

In some cases, organisations had to

resort to telephone, paper and pen,

apps such as WhatsApp in terms of

communicating with others.

We'll be speaking to the man

who was in charge of overseeing

cyber security for the NHS

in England at half past ten.

Young people who need mental health

care are waiting too long

for their treatment -

the commission that monitors care

provision says that treatment varies

considerably according

to where people live and that some

children are waiting up to 18

months for treatment.

The young people that I visit when I

work as an independent mental health

advocate on an adolescent board, and

families say to me if they have

their help earlier they would not

have been in that position, they

would not be in hospital.

We will

hear from some people about their

experiences of accessing mental

health services at 9.15.

The wait isn't quite over -

as the files about the assassination

of American president

John F Kennedy are released.

Donald Trump delays

some of the more sensitive case

notes after requests

from the CIA and FBI.

Hello,

welcome to the programme,

we're live until 11 this morning.

Have you had any experiences,

good or bad, trying to access mental

health care for children

and young people?

We are talking about that

and also later in the show

we are going to talk about the rules

around sharing details

of crimes people committed

when they were children and how

they should or should not be shared

around with prospective employers.

Do get in touch on all the stories

we're talking about this morning -

Our top story today...

An investigation into the

cyberattack 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 Cellan-Jones.

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 cyberattack just 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.

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.

Our Technology Correspondent Rory

Cellan-Jones is with me.

Just explain what measures are in

place now to make sure this doesn't

happen again.

Well, across the NHS

people have been told to get their

act together and the key thing here

is to respond when NHS Digital, the

Central organisation, sends out

warning is instructing people to

upgrade their computers with a

security patch. The key thing that

went wrong here is that there was a

warning in March and April, fix your

Windows computer systems with this

patch and you should be safe. If the

hospitals had done that, and

obviously lots of them did, they

would have been protected. But they

didn't. The other thing is having a

plan that filters down from the top

to every local hospital. That is

what didn't happen here. There was

some kind of plan, it was never

rehearsed. When disaster struck,

people didn't know what to do. They

didn't know who to call, for

instance.

Is it clear why the

hospitals didn't do the upgrade they

were warned about a few months

before?

This is a problem in lots of

organisations, frankly. There are

security patches coming out almost

on a daily basis. The threats are

there, new threats every day.

Organisations find it difficult to

have the resources in place, the

people in place, and the agency to

do that. But I think this has been a

wake-up call to lots of them.

I was

reading that this could have been

far worse, if it had happened in the

middle of winter?

It was a Friday in

May, not a particularly busy time.

If it happened on a Monday in

winter, the knock-on effect would

have been much worse. But they have

been warned by the National Audit

Office that there are worse threats

out there. This was a particularly

unsophisticated attack. A much more

sophisticated attack could cause a

lot more damage. They have got to

shore up their defences.

Thank you

for coming by.

Vicki Young is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary

of the rest of the days news.

A Government ordered review

of mental health services

for children in England has found

that thousands of children

are not getting the support

they need, when they need it.

Inspectors from the Care Quality

Commission concluded services

were too fragmented

and hard to access.

Our health correspondent

Rob Sissons reports.

Alice battled anorexia

throughout her teenage years.

She waited around six months

for a mental health assessment

and to get specialist treatment,

she was told she'd have to travel

100 miles from her home.

She's concerned some young people

are still waiting too long.

We're talking about young people

with mental health problems that

are so distressed with their own

minds that they don't even know how

they're going to get through the day

and to then turn around to them

and ask them to wait, you know, six,

12, 18 months for the help

that they desperately need

is incredibly distressing.

The Care Quality Commission report

suggests 39% of specialist community

services need improving.

It warns services are too fragmented

and a more joined-up

approach is needed.

The report highlights evidence that

one in four children who needed care

were unable to access it.

The commission warns children's

lives may be being put at risk

because of the failings.

Suicide is one of the leading causes

of death in young people.

What we do know is that

waiting a long time,

or not being able to access

a service when you need it,

inherently increases the risk.

Alice welcomes the Government's

promised to invest an extra £1.4

billion into children's mental

health services over

the next four years.

The Care Quality Commission has

revealed the scale of the problems.

Its next piece of work

will be to come up with

some detailed solutions.

Rob Sissons, BBC News.

And in the next few minutes we'll be

speaking to the families of children

who have had to face long delays

for mental health treatment.

Spain's political crisis is likely

to deepen today if - as expected -

the Senate backs a plan

by the central government to remove

some powers from the autonomous

region of Catalonia and to take over

the running of its institutions.

Madrid wants to reassert control

by triggering an article

in the Spanish constitution that's

designed to prevent regions

from breaking away.

But it's thought the Catalan

Parliament may respond

by declaring independence.

Andrew Plant reports

27 days after this crisis started,

each day, crowds have gathered,

speeches have been made,

and each day, an agreement has

seemed further away.

On one side, Catalonia

considering declaring independence

and on the other, Spain

considering taking back control.

On Thursday, Catalonian president

Carles Puigdemont could have

declared independence,

which would have angered

the Spanish government.

Or he could've backtracked,

which would have angered

his own supporters.

Instead, he did neither.

TRANSLATION: My responsibility

as president of Catalonia

was to exhaust all

the options available.

What we need is

de-escalation and dialogue.

But once again, I have not had

a satisfactory reply

from the Spanish government.

Spain's national government

could now vote to take

away his control.

TRANSLATION: Launching article 155

of the constitution,

which will affect Catalonia's

autonomy, is the last resort.

It's the only way to restore

legality, tolerance,

democracy, and economic

stability to Catalonia.

This is all the fault

of the Catalan president.

Today, the Spanish senate will vote

on unravelling Catalonia's powers -

something which has

never been done before.

That much is clear,

but the future is not.

The question - what will happen

here if Spain strips away

Catalonia's regional powers?

The answer - no-one really knows

the repercussions might be.

Andrew Plant, BBC News.

Australia's High Court has

ruled that the country's

deputy prime minister,

Barnaby Joyce, should be

disqualified from office

because he held dual

citizenship when elected.

The verdict has cost the Australian

government its one-seat majority

in parliament and a by-election

will now be held in December.

Four other politicians have also

been ruled ineligible

to remain in parliament.

French scientists say patients

who have heart surgery

in the afternoon are less likely

to suffer complications than those

who are treated in the morning.

Their research - published

in The Lancet medical journal -

argues that the body clock makes

the heart stronger during

the afternoon than in the morning,

and it's more able to withstand

the rigours of surgery.

President Trump has declassified

almost 3,000 documents related

to the assassination

of John F Kennedy in 1963.

But he decided to to keep hundreds

of other files secret,

at least for the time being,

at the request of security agencies.

Mr Trump had earlier indicated

that all of the files

would be made public,

as Peter Bowes reports.

Page after page, previously

top-secret documents,

many of them handwritten,

from the investigation

into the assassination

of John 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.

ARCHIVE:

It appears as though

something has happened

in the motorcade route.

The official investigation concluded

that Oswald had acted alone.

ARCHIVE: President Kennedy

has been assassinated.

It is 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

and discrepancies in the official

story on new facts to back it up.

Several hundred documents are being

held back for further scrutiny.

There will be a six-month

review period after

the CIA and FBI expressed

concern about their content.

It's a move that will only fuel

the conspiracy theories.

A UN-backed report has concluded

the Syrian government was behind

a chemical attack on the town

of Khan Sheikhoun earlier this year

which killed about 90 people.

Investigators said the nerve agent

sarin was dropped from an aircraft.

Syria has previously

denied responsibility.

In Thailand, the new king has

collected fragments of bone

from the cremated remains

of his father,

the late King Bhumibol.

The ritual is part of the 5-day

funeral that's brought

the nation to a standstill.

The relics will be placed in golden

urns to be transported in procession

to the Grand Palace later today.

At least four people have been

killed and dozens injured

in violence surrounding Kenya's

second presidential

election in three months.

Less than half of eligible voters

cast a ballot yesterday,

far lower than the 80% who voted

in the original election in August

when President Kenyatta

was declared the winner.

Opposition leaders had

called for a boycott

of the poll amid claims

of voting irregularities.

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.

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.

We can 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.

Let's get some sport

with John Watson.

In the next hour,

the Rugby League World Cup will get

under way in Melbourne.

England have the daunting task

of facing reigning champions

Australia in that opening game.

Some are they confident?

I think so,

it could not have been a tough

start, you have to factor that into

the equation. They are getting the

tournament under way in about an

hour's time. They are regarded as

one of the favourites for the trophy

but they have had a terrible run

against Australia. They have not

beaten them since the opening match

of the 1995 World Cup. It has been a

long winless run.

But they have some great players.

Sam Burgess we know.

The last World Cup he played

in was for England in the ill fated

Rugby Union version two years ago.

He plays his club Rugby League back

in Australia now, in the NRL.

One of seven or eight players

who play their club rugby

in Australia, so they should know

what to expect.

We have all dreamt about winning the

World Cup, certainly. The players in

the squad, you need the ambition,

World Cup, certainly. The players in

the squad, you need the ambition, or

you need the want to be able to go

and win the World Cup. You're not

just going to sit around and not

think about it and then it then

happen. You have to visualise it. To

remain focused, you then have to

bring yourself back into day that we

face and be present and understand

what it takes to win a competition,

what it takes to win games. That is

where our mindset is at the moment.

14 teams involved, including

Scotland and Wales, so tell us how

it will unfold.

14 teams split

across four groups. Three host

countries, Wales, Scotland and

Ireland also feature, representing

the home nations. Wales are up

against co-hosts Papua New Guinea

tomorrow. This is them arriving a

pretty awesome reception, I think

it's fair to say. It will be pretty

hot there and it is the national

sport in Papua New Guinea, so they

can expect a hostile reception, I

think it's fair to say. Ireland also

take them on in their first match in

the coming days as well. Scotland

have a tough test against New

Zealand. But they have a good chance

of reaching the knockout stages.

They managed to draw against New

Zealand in a previous tournament. It

is worth watching Tonga, a really

exciting team who could go all the

way. And women's tournament runs

alongside the men's, starting next

month. England are the sole

representatives from Europe. There

will be a final in Brisbane in

December. Live coverage of England's

match on BBC Two this morning.

If a young person experiences

mental health problems

the NHS is supposed to provide

services to help them,

with a belief that early

intervention is key.

But a new study from

the Care Quality Commission has

found some children in England

are facing long delay for treatment

- sometimes as long as 18 months.

The Department of Health says it's

investing £1.4 billion

into improving children's mental

health care but staff

for the NHS's Child and Adolescent

Mental Health Services have told

this programme services

are still extremely underfunded.

Joining us now is Cathal Morrow -

his eight-year-old had to wait 18

months before he received treatment.

Helena Miles used mental health

services for most of her teens.

Louise Theodosiou is from

the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

And Labour MP for Liverpool

Wavertree Luciana Berger,

who is president of the party's

campaign for mental health.

Thank you all for joining us. Can I

ask first - 18 months for your son

to access mental health treatment.

Why the delay?

About three years

ago, he had a breakdown, and the

school were unbelievable. We pushed

for an assessment, got it, but it

didn't really say anything. We were

pushing and pushing, and they drip

fed us a little bit, but nothing

much in terms of services. Then a

year ago, he was in hospital for a

week, then they moved him up to a

level three, and from there, he has

been having weekly therapy. I have

been having services, counselling

and stuff, and it has been

excellent. But it was an insane

delay.

Helene, you have access

mental health services throughout

your teens - did you struggle to get

access to those services?

It took

awhile for to take my mental health,

not seriously, but to take it into

serious consideration. It took until

I was sectioned for me to get a

diagnosis of post-traumatic stress

disorder.

What impact does that have

on you, and on your son of those

delays?

I didn't have a teenage

period. It took a long time for me

to learn about myself and my mental

health, and I kind of feel like I am

now catching up on being a teenager

and being at university, getting to

know myself better. When I was a

teenager, I felt like an empty

shell, not a real human being.

For

my son, the delay in mental

health... If you break your leg, it

gets fixed, but mental health is

something that needs work

immediately, and the delays have

meant that he has been taken out of

school and is being home-schooled.

It has a massive knock-on effect.

I

want to bring in Louise. To give us

a perspective from the inside, if

you would, Louise, why is there this

delay? People watching would say

that a young boy needing help, 18

months of his life is a long time to

wait.

It is, and it is important

that we are looking at this issue

today. One of the things we have

heard is that what happens is that

you cannot fix things quickly, and

we know that in order for children's

needs to be met, work has to start

early. One of the things we all need

to do is to build up people's

resilience, the same way we are all

working on our physical health every

day. We know that less than 1% of

the investment in health care has

been in child and adolescent mental

health services for a long time, and

although more money is coming now,

it is coming after a long period of

underinvestment, which means that

not only our services small, but

there is not a workforce to recruit

from, so we need more people to be

working in young people's mental

health services and more people in

the services around them, such as

youth services, education and social

care. We also need people to be able

to recognise when children really

are struggling, and once again, that

is about training and awareness. It

is fantastic that because more

people are aware of children's

mental health needs, there is a

drive out there and people are

stepping forward, and we have seen

in the past three years referrals to

child and adolescent mental health

services going up by almost 50%.

So

why is it that people aren't

attracted to working in the

services, or are leaving?

That's a

really important question. I can say

that I love working in the service,

and I can say that when services are

working well, they are amazing

places to work. We need to recognise

that the work can be very difficult,

particularly with the underfunding,

and people can feel that they are

not offering a good service because

there's not enough people around.

It's fantastic that there is

increasing awareness, and we know

that we need people to be valued, to

have good supervision and clear

leadership, and there are a lot of

new innovations coming in, like

Future In Mind, and other documents

that have come out in the past two

years which make it clear what we

need to do for people, and to

provide the training that is needed,

and to make our workforce feel

valued. Programmes like this, people

are realising how important the work

we do is come and that makes people

feel valued and that they are being

heard.

Luciano, the Government has

committed £1.4 billion to children's

and adolescent health services, so

things are moving in the right

direction quick smack

the money has

been announced, but in terms of it

reaching the front line, the row

many examples, including here in

Liverpool, where we have seen cuts

to our young people's mental health

services. -- things are moving in

the right direction? We have seen

waiting times of six months just to

get an assessment. That doesn't help

support them with their mental

health needs. It is not just

happening in Liverpool but right

across the country. With the budget

coming up, we have an opportunity to

say to the Chancellor that we need

to have the money they promised to

mental health ring fenced to make

sure it reaches the front line,

because there are many examples of

it not happening. That is why this

report, along with many others over

the past two years, really shine a

light on the fact that children's

mental health services are the

Cinderella of the Cinderella

services of the NHS.

I can see you

shaking your head. What is going

through your mind listening to this?

I used to volunteer at the Centre

for children and families, and we

had so many stories of cuts and

underfunding, the fact that adult

services get more funding than

children's, but many users of youth

services go one to use adult

services. Honestly, this topic is so

important to me, and it has shaped

my life. I just want it to be OK,

which is really hard to do. Talking

about it is really useful, but

there's just no funding.

At the

service my son goes to, people are

leaving in droves.

Staff?

Yes, and

really good people. If you care

about your job, and half of it is

saying no to a kid who really needs

help, it is their job to do that,

and how does that make you feel as a

caring professional? Massively

demoralised. And people are leaving.

They have had pay cuts. My son's

therapist, who is unbelievable, he

is one of two therapists for the

whole NHS Trust, which is former

London boroughs.

We were talking

before we came on air and you were

both saying that once you do access

those services, they are fantastic.

Unbelievable. My son has an amazing

social worker. My son is being

helped by the home tuition service,

which is great. They are all amazing

people, and they are really

dedicated, and they are fighting

against cuts. They have to say no

because there is in the money to say

yes.

Without the NHS staff and

others, I wouldn't even be sitting

here today, to be honest, but there

are so many young people who aren't

sitting here, especially LGBT and

kids from poorer backgrounds. It's

so much harder for them. But for the

ones who do get to access it, it is

often good stories.

Louise, you

raised before the increase in the

number of referrals that your

services are getting for children

and adolescent mental health - is

this, in part, a good thing? You

have had Prince Harry talking about

mental health, the stigma seems to

be being removed within society, but

therefore, there is a consequence

that your services are having to

take.

Absolutely, and in part, I

welcome the increase in referrals

because we know that mental health

problems, like physical health

problems, need to be treated. There

isn't anything to be ashamed of. We

know that one in four young women

will experience depression. We need

to be getting things right. I agree

with the Leonard that poor people

and people from minority groups tend

to have greater needs, and we need

to make sure that services are

accessible to everyone. -- I agree

with the Leonard.

Is it potluck, a

postcode lottery, that determines

what services you can get in your

area?

That has been the case for a

long time, and this report exposes

that, where there is real variance

in the level and quality of services

across the country. Some are good,

some outstanding, but it is not

right that 20% of inpatient services

require improvement, and 30% of

services in the community need

improving. It is part of this wider

ambition to ensure that the close

that gap and achieve that real

equality for mental health that we

have for physical health. We are on

a journey, but ultimately, to make

the greatest difference we need to

make sure that locally all of our

services prioritise mental health.

That is not happening in Liverpool,

but not just here, across the

country. Our local commissioning

groups are not held to account to

ring fence that Monday, which means

it is spent on other things. The

young people you have heard from,

and the parent you have heard from

today, this is about people's

futures. We know that the majority

of adults with mental health

condition will have developed it as

a young person. It doesn't make

sense not to intervene and support

people earlier on, because it will

affect the book into their adult

life if we do not. Not only does

that have an impact on adults in

terms of maintaining relationships,

accessing employment and being able

to pay for things in life, but

actually, it costs our economy. For

so many different reasons, it is

important that what we talk about

when it comes to young people's

mental health actually translates

into supporting people early on.

It's not happening at the moment,

but it needs to, for so many

different reasons. That is why I

hope that in the budget we will see

that change.

I want to bring capital

backing, because if there are

parents at home struggling -- to

bring Cathal back in. You have got

support for your son, but what would

you say to other parents?

Push.

You have just got to push and

demand. I am not a pushy parent. My

kids have no more rights than

anybody else's kids, but they have a

right to the services. You have to

keep pushing and pushing. The people

at the other end, the CAMHS people

come they want to help young people

but they are not allowed because the

money is not there. Push for the

services and keep on pushing.

Thanks

for coming in to talk us.

A Department of Health

spokesperson said:

"Our commitment to improving

children's mental healthcare

is shown by our additional

£1.4 billion investment,

more trained staff and more children

and young people accessing care.

But there is more to do which is why

we commissioned this review

and will publish a Green Paper

on Children and Young

People's Mental Health

by the end of the year."

Still to come: The Spanish senate

will today vote on whether to impose

direct rule over Catalonia -

after the Catalan government

yesterday didn't call a snap

election or declare independence.

And tomorrow night, in Cardiff,

Anthony Joshua will seek to defend

his crown as World Heavyweight

Champion.

We'll speak to one of his team

as they prepare for the fight.

Time for the latest news.

Here's Vicki.

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.

Thousands of children across England

are having to face extremley long

waiting times for mental health

treatment, according to a review

by Government inspectors.

The Care Quality Commission found

that services are too

fragmented and hard to access.

it is investing an extra

1.4 billion in children's

at least for the time being,

at the request of security agencies.

The President had earlier indicated

that all of the files

would be made public.

That's a summary of

the latest BBC News.

Here's some sport now

with John Watson.

The Rugby League World Cup will get

under way in Melbourne.

England have the daunting task

of facing reigning champions

Australia in that opening game.

They haven't beaten them since 1995.

Preparations continue ahead of next

year's World Cup.

Harlequins prop Joe Marler is set

to be available for two

of England's three autumn

internationals next month.

He was suspended for striking,

but it's understood his club

have successfully queried

the verdict with the

European Cup authorities.

A great night ahead for Anthony

Joshua. He is looking to

successfully defend his world title.

You are talking to his

physiotherapist this morning. He

wants to become the first man to

hold all four world heavyweight

titles.

US President Donald Trump has

ordered the release of 2,800 files

on President John F Kennedy's

assassination.

But he blocked the release

of other files, citing

national security concerns.

Senior administration officials

did not say what the contents

of the records being shared

by the National Archives

yesterday were.

So what will we learn

from the JFK files?

This short film explains more.

I don't think anybody should be

looking for any bombshells.

There won't be a document pointing

to a second gunman in Dallas.

I think all of the most credible

evidence we have all these years

shows that Lee Harvey Oswald

was the gunman in Dealey Plaza and

almost certainly the lone gunman.

But I think there is a real question

as to whether or not other people

knew he was going to do this

and encouraged him to do this.

You know, he was not the pure lone

wolf that the US government

tried to portray him as.

To my mind, this has always been

sort of the secret chapter

of the Kennedy assassination drama.

Why did Lee Harvey Oswald,

who was a self-proclaimed Marxist,

a champion of Castro's revolution,

go to Mexico City just several weeks

before the assassination,

where he met with Cuban spies,

Russian spies and other people who,

at the height of the Cold War,

might have wanted to see

Kennedy dead.

There is evidence out there that

Oswald, while he is in Mexico City,

openly talked about killing Kennedy.

The question becomes whether or not

any of those people offered

to help him or give him

encouragement, or offered to help

him escape after the assassination.

It's very clear that

the United States government never

wanted to get to the bottom of that

because, if they had,

it would have exposed just how much

more the government had known

about the assassin before

the assassination.

The question has always been

what more did the CIA know

about Oswald in real-time,

just several weeks before

the assassination?

It's going to take weeks or months,

or even years, to really

understand these documents.

They will be filled with CIA and FBI

codenames, pseudonyms and a lot

of jargon that people just aren't

going to be able to understand.

We're talking about hundreds

of thousands of pages of documents.

This is going to take a long while.

After 10.30 we will be talking to a

woman who was at the scene of the

assassination when she was aged just

11.

Spain's political crisis

is likely to deepen

today if - as expected -

the Spanish senate gives the go

ahead to government plans to regain

control of the region of Catalonia.

Madrid wants to trigger an article

in the Spanish constitution that

suspends devolution in autonomous

regions - and say it's the only way

to calm the political

crisis in the region.

Yesterday, the Catalan regional

parliament debated a possible

declaration of independence,

but failed to reveal

a favoured course of action.

So how did we get here?

On October the 1st a referendum

on Catalan independence

was held in the region,

despite the poll being

ruled unconstitutional

by the country's supreme court.

National police were brought

into try and stop the vote

from going ahead, leading

to violent clashes.

Catalan authorities say just under

90% of voters backed independence,

although only 43% of voters took

part.

After the vote Catalonia's leaders

declared independence,

but then suspended it immediately.

Spain's Prime Minister responded

by announcing plans to remove

the region's current leaders

and hold fresh elections

there as soon as possible.

It is these plans that could be

given the approval later today.

Raphael Minder is a journalist

and author of the book

The Struggle for Catalonia -

he joins me from Madrid.

Rodrigo Martinez lives in Catalonia

and did not vote because he did not

think the referendum was legal. He

does not think that Catalonia should

have independence. Raphael, this is

so confusing, the situation. First

of all, Catalonia declares

independence, then it says it is not

going to happen. Tell us what is

going on behind the scenes because

this confusion.

First, I am actually

in Barcelona, just outside the

parliament of Catalonia, where we

are going to have another dramatic

day, I fear. It is confusing. This

is brinksmanship, last-minute

attempts to get a political deal,

knowing that what comes next is

very, very dangerous territory for

both sides. As you mentioned, the

Government in Madrid is asking today

the Senate to put into place

emergency measures under an article

in the Constitution that has never

been tested before, article 155,

which Spaniards are now discovering,

the same way as British people

discovered Article 50 of the Lisbon

Treaty following the Brexit

referendum. Yesterday, and this has

been the case for several days, we

saw last-minute attempts to avoid

this situation reaching this climax.

This has been the way all along. It

is a game of chicken in which

beach-side knows it cannot take full

responsibility for what comes next,

in which the separatists are pushing

for a declaration of Independence,

knowing that they can declare what

they want but the government in

Madrid has the power to make sure

there is no independence in

Catalonia and, in fact, return

Catalonia to a situation where it

loses the autonomy that it has had

for 40 years and perhaps a major

shake-up of the whole setup of

Spain, the post-Franco setup that

was achieved with a great deal of

pain in the late 70s.

Roderigo, we

heard their Raphael describing it as

a game of chicken. As a voter and

somebody who decided not to vote in

a referendum because you don't

support independence, how do you

feel about how the politicians are

playing around with this right now?

Well, I totally agree. I think the

politicians right now are playing

with us, playing with people. I

think they only want to win more

supporters. In Madrid, they want

supporters for Spanish union. In

Catalonia, they want supporters for

the issues. So, I think the people

are very tired of the situation,

this play that the politicians are

doing in Spain. I think the

important point here is that people

are tired.

So, Raphael, explain what

will happen if the Spanish

government decides to take control

back away from a region that

currently is autonomous.

Realistically, in day-to-day terms,

what does that mean for people

living in Barcelona?

Well, we don't

know, realistically. What are the

measures say is that the Government

can do a whole series of things but

need not do them all. What the

government that was asking for his

permission to basically step in.

Exactly how it does that isn't

clear. What we know is that the

Government of Mariano Rajoy has said

it will remove the leadership of

Catalonia. Doing that in practice

is, in itself, a very converted

thing. We don't know if the current

leadership, led by Carles

Puigdemont, will step back and agree

to do so, or whether they will have

to step out handcuffed with police

are stepping into the government

building in Barcelona, perhaps

surrounded by angry crowds. This is

step one. Step two is even more

complicated, taking charge of the

autonomous police force. Again, we

don't know how easy that will be.

What we know is that referendum Day,

October the 1st, the Catalan police

force basically did not put into

force the orders given by Madrid to

shut down all polling stations,

which is why we then got into the

terrible mess where Spanish police

clashed with voters. Taking charge

of a police force raises all sorts

of issues about the loyalty of the

security forces. That is very, very

dangerous territory indeed. Then

there are a series of other

measures, including taking charge of

the Public broadcasting in

Catalonia. Whether that means just

changing the equivalent of the

director of the BBC or perhaps

changing some of the presenters, the

anchors and so on, we don't know.

Any of these steps, it is a

minefield in which the Government of

Madrid is stepping in with great

powers and authority, but without

any guidance and no precedent in

terms of exactly how you do it.

Roderigo, do you worry about the

things outlined there?

No, I think

if the law as an article, Article

155, I think you can apply it. It is

not impossible. Maybe it is not an

easy issue. But you can apply. We

have public workers, they are not

politicians. We do not need

politicians to administrate the

state. We have administrative

workers. So, in an ideal situation,

maybe six months, six months of

central government administrating

Catalonia and then elections again.

I think it is not a very big deal.

Maybe the people are afraid of the

situation, of the application of

that law. I think we cannot fear

about the law.

Oriol Margo Moreno is an industrial

engineer from Barcalona who voted

for independence via post,

as he lives here in the uk.

Tell me what you make of what is

happening right now and the

possibility of the autonomy being

removed from Catalonia.

I think Catalonia and Spain have

been trying to get some Catalonian

integration in Spain for some years

and it hasn't been possible. It

started quite a few years ago, and

now I think it has reached a point

of no return. We have seen a

positive campaign in Scotland, like

together we are better, but this

hasn't happened in Catalonia. Today,

I think there will be a potential

declaration of Independence after

the referendum that happened on the

1st of October, where people were

trying to go and cast their votes

than they were met by police with

batons. You can't ask people not to

go into the streets to be able to

say what they want.

I want to bring

this to you, because in the last few

moments, the Spanish prime minister,

Mariano Rajoy, has asked the Senate

today pose the Catalan leader, Mr

Puigdemont. Do you worry, Roderigo,

as a result of this and what could

happen in the next few hours, that

violence could return to the

streets, as we saw on the day of the

referendum?

I hope not. I hope the

people will continue peacefully. The

great majority of people in

Catalonia, now we're working, so we

don't want that instability. We want

to go back to stability in

Catalonia. And confidence.

Oriol, do

you think there is a danger that

could be more violence on the

streets?

It is surprising what I

heard from Roderigo. I don't think

there will be any violence from

citizens. That has been no violence

from citizens in Catalonia in any

other demonstrations. We have had

demonstrations every year with

millions of people and there is no

violence. Violence only came when

they sent riot police. If there is

any, it will be because the riot

police will initiate it. We have

seen people in the images holding

hands like this. I don't think there

will be violence unless the Spanish

Government thinks that they need to

send the police.

Oriol, are you

frustrated with your politicians

right now?

I am frustrated with the

situation because I think no one

should ignore that there are

millions and millions of people in

Catalonia demanding something

different and they are not being

listened to. I am not frustrated at

what is happening, because I think

it is a legitimate way to seek these

ambitions, and I think we should

listen. It cannot be ignored. And

that's why democracy is there. If

this is not what you like, democracy

is the way forward, and that means

ballot boxes. That is what happened.

I think Madrid is potentially afraid

to hear what they don't want to.

Thank you for joining us today on

the programme, gentlemen.

The disclosure of childhood criminal

records can impact on jobs,

visas and house buying -

is a report today right to say

the rules should be relaxed?

He went from just another

boy at a boxing club,

to Olympic Champion

to global superstar.

Tomorrow night, in Cardiff,

Anthony Joshua, bids to defend his

crown as World Heavyweight Champion

against the Frenchman Carlos Takam.

This time, his preparations

have been disrupted,

because his original opponent

Kubrat Pulev pulled out

through injury, leaving Takam

to come in at short notice.

Joshua has a lot to live

up to this weekend.

His last fight with Vladimir

Klitschko went down as one

of the best in history,

as he picked himself off the canvas

to win the WBA belt in heroic style.

Here's a short clip from a BBC

documentary about that

fight with Klitschko -

Anthony Joshua: The Road

To Klitschko - where we can see how

Joshua prepares on fight day...

# Run, run

# Run, run.#

On fight day, there's

pull-outs in every paper.

You know, six, eight-page pull-outs.

That doesn't happen in boxing.

It's the sort of thing that

happens in World Cups

and European Championships.

That's when it suddenly really

dawns, tonight's the night.

But he is so relaxed

about everything.

You know, the one phrase I hear him

say a lot is, no stress.

Boxing's tough enough

as it is and if you're

not going to enjoy it,

you might as well give it up.

LAUGHTER

So I don't think having

a little laugh will deter from me

having the ambition to go out

there and perform.

LAUGHTER

It's like the last

little MOT before we take

the car on the track.

What I'm trying to do

is just go with the flow.

I'm here, I'm at peace,

this is what I've been working for.

Let's just go out

there and have fun.

Let's talk now to Rob Madden, who's

Anthony Joshua's Physiotherapist

and is at the hotel in Cardiff

with his team now,

and Barry Jones is a Former WBO

Superfeatherweight World Champion.

Thanks, both, for coming in. I want

to start with Rob if I can. First of

all, how disruptive was it for

Anthony Joshua to have this change

of opponent at a pretty late a la?

First of all, thanks to Takam for

stepping in, it takes a big man to

do that. Training wise, it doesn't

change much. The heavyweight game is

tough, and Rob and AJ have put in

the necessary training to prepare

for a slightly different style.

Is

Takam and easier or more difficult

opponent, in the view of your team?

There is not much of a difference

between them in the rankings, and

both of them bring different assets

to the ring, so I wouldn't

necessarily say one fighter was

better than the other. In the

heavyweight game, you have to be

prepared that anyone has the ability

to really cause damage.

Barry, I

want to bring you in, because it is

all about pressure at this point,

isn't it? After that incredible

fight against Wladimir Klitschko,

Anthony Joshua came back, he was the

hero. The pressure is on him - is

that the main issue to deal with

going into one of the sites?

For any

boxer, but someone as popular as

Anthony Joshua, the pressure is

immense. You saw how relaxed ears.

What he is. He believes in himself,

and that's what he he worries about.

I think he just concentrates on what

he has to do, and he's good enough.

He doesn't have to worry about the

change of opponent, except for the

height and reach.

He's a lot

shorter, isn't he?

About three

inches shorter. That's an easy

adjustment for Anthony Joshua,.

Because he is so good with the left

arm, an important weapon for any

heavyweight, and he has mastered

that punch, that is all he needs to

worry about. If he does that, it is

a relatively easy night for him.

How

does he deal with pressure? Give as

a sense of what he is doing today.

Really, we try to keep everything

relax. He has his close friends

around him. He is getting ready for

the way in -- weigh-in. And he will

just focus on the last bits of

preparation.

Is it easier to get

ready for this fight than it was for

the Wladimir Klitschko fight, which

was so huge?

Just before, I said the

heavyweight game is a tough game.

You can't take anything for granted,

and it is 100% focused, always.

I

was reading what Anthony Joshua were

saying a few days ago, saying he

thinks he could dominate the sport

for the next ten years - is that

realistic as a heavyweight?

Ten

years, you never know who might come

along. Another Anthony Joshua might

come along. He is capable, he lives

the right life, he has the right

team behind him, which is very

important for any fighter, but

especially for a heavyweight, to

keep your feet on the ground. He is

a star, and that Klitschko win made

him a global superstar, and everyone

wants a piece of Anthony Joshua. Not

just fights, also commercially,

which will have added pressure. He

is relaxed and happy with himself,

and I just think he concentrates on

what he has to do in the ring. He

lives a very humble life for a very

rich young man. He goes through the

training camps as you would when you

were a challenger. If he keeps that

mode and that thing in his life,

then I think he can almost dominate.

I think now, he is the best

heavyweight in the world. Until

Tyson Fury comes back, he is the

only guy who can rival him right

now. Apart from that, I think he

beats everyone who is put in front

of him.

What about the pressure? A

crowd of 78,000 people will be

there. For Anthony Joshua, not a

problem. Takam - will it affect him?

It might, but once the bell goes, it

all goes away. When you have a

monster like Anthony Joshua in front

of you, you don't worry about people

outside the ring, you got enough

problems inside it. I think Joshua

is used those big crowd. He will

probably enjoy this more than the

which coat fight, because he goes in

not as the underdog. -- more than

the Klitschko fight. It is the

chance of a lifetime for Takam. We

know, in this way, one punch can

change a fight. -- in this weight

category. One shot can totally

change the outcome of the fight.

Takam will think that if he can get

close, he might cause problems. If

Joshua can dominate with the jab, he

can make it as easy as he wants it

to be.

Rob, clearly, Anthony Joshua

feels very confident going into this

fight?

Yeah, very confident and

calm. As Barry says, he is the same

guy was up he's taking it seriously,

though. He's not taking anything for

granted. 100% confidence for the

win, but be prepared for a decent

challenger in Takam.

Thank you for

speaking to us, Rob. Wishing the

best of luck. Thank you for coming

in as well. Now, the weather with

Simon.

A chilly start to the day across

many parts, but it has been a

glorious start for many of us. We've

had a pretty decent sunrise, as you

can see from this first photo. That

was sent in from Leeds, the sun

rising there above the horizon. That

has led many of us to have beautiful

blue skies this morning. It's not

the case everywhere. There are some

fog patches around. This is the

scene at the moment in Salford quays

- a proper pea souper. It is a

textbook fine day when the fog

clears. Some lovely sunny spells.

More of a breeze across the far

north of Scotland. Some cloud will

affect northern and western areas,

and it will be a bit chilly compared

to yesterday, temperatures of

10-11dC. Sunshine through Northern

Ireland and through northern England

once the fog clears from the

north-west. The same goes for Wales

in southern England. Temperatures

are down by a few deeds agrees -- a

few degrees compare to yesterday. A

bit of cloud in the South West will

clear away, leaving sunshine. The

high pressure that is giving us this

settled weather today will drift

further south going into Saturday,

meaning the wind will pick up

further across Scotland, and with

it, a bit more moisture, so a bit of

rain moving into the West of

Scotland. Quite a chilly night

again, temperatures down into single

figures, lower than that in the

countryside in southern and eastern

areas. For the start of the weekend,

quite a strong wind across northern

areas, gales expected. Lots of cloud

to the west, some outbreaks of rain.

Some of it affecting north-west

England and Wales. Sunshine through

many other areas through tomorrow

afternoon. Into Sunday, things start

to change again. Look at the cold

air, the blues moving down across

the UK. The cold air not quite

reaching Northern Ireland, Wales and

the South West, so temperatures not

falling quite as far here. They will

stay at around 14 Celsius. Lots of

sunshine across England, up into

Scotland. Maximum temperatures only

nine Celsius in the north-east, with

a brisk northerly wind. That would

feel quite chilly. Don't forget, the

clocks go back by one hour in the

early hours of Sunday morning.

Unless you have young kids, like me,

you get an extra hour in bed!

Goodbye.

Hello.

It's Friday, it's 10

o'clock, I'm Chloe Tiley.

The health service was just not

prepared, says a report

into the cyber attack which crippled

parts of the NHS earlier this year.

In some cases, organisations had to

resort to telephone, paper and pen,

apps such as WhatsApp in terms

of communicating with others.

So what is ransomware and how can

you protect yourself?

We'll be speaking to a former hacker

and to a security analyst.

For some who got a criminal

conviction or caution

while they were under 18,

a childhood mistake can affect

opportunities for jobs,

travel and education.

A report out today says it's

time the rules around

disclosing childhood criminal

records were relaxed.

We will hear from a qualified

teacher who says she cannot get a

job in school because of police

cautions when she was a child. We

will also hear from a recruiter who

says it is important for employees

to know exactly who they are hiring.

Donald Trump, following requests

from the CIA and FBI,

delays the release of some

of the more sensitive casenotes

about the assassination

of John F Kennedy.

We will hear from a woman who was at

the scene of the assassination when

she was just 11.

Good morning.

Here's Vicki in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of today's news.

An investigation into the

cyberattack 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.

The security minister says North

Korea is to blame for the cyber

attack.

Computer crime often leaves

a trace and our capabilities to

track that. I can't go further into

capabilities, but there are strong

signs that came from North Korea and

ourselves and the United States

agree with that.

The Spanish Senate is expected

to approve government plans

to reduce the powers of the region

of Catalonia today.

The Catalan authorities say

such a move would worsen

the political crisis -

making a declaration

of independence by the regional

parliament more likely,

though no decision

has been reached yet.

Thousands of children across England

are having to face extremley long

waiting times for mental health

treatment, according to a review

by Government inspectors.

The Care Quality Commission found

that services are too

fragmented and hard to access.

The Department of Health says

it is investing an extra

1.4 billion in children's

mental health services

over the next four years.

One former patient told this

programme about her experience.

It took a while for them to kind

of take my mental health not

seriously but take it into serious

consideration and it took

until I was sectioned

for me to get a diagnosis

of post-traumatic stress disorder.

It took a really long time for me

to kind of learn about myself

and about my mental health

and I kind of feel like now I'm

catching up on being a teenager,

being at university,

getting to know myself a lot better.

Whereas when I was a teenager,

I felt like an empty shell.

I didn't feel like a human being.

Australia's High Court has

ruled that the country's

deputy prime minister,

Barnaby Joyce, should be

disqualified from office

because he held dual

citizenship when elected.

The verdict has

cost the Australian

government its one-seat majority

in parliament and a by-election

will now be held in December.

Four other politicians have also

been ruled ineligible

to remain in parliament.

President Trump has declassified

almost 3000 documents

related to the assassination

of John F Kennedy in 1963.

But Mr Trump

decided to keep hundreds

of other files secret,

at least for the time being,

at the request of security agencies.

The President had earlier indicated

that all of the files

would be made public.

French scientists say patients

who have heart surgery

in the afternoon are less likely

to suffer complications than those

who are treated in the morning.

Their research, published

in The Lancet medical journal,

argues that the body clock makes

the heart stronger during

the afternoon than in the morning,

and it's more able to withstand

the rigours of surgery.

That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 10.30.

Here's some sport now

with John Watson.

The Rugby League World Cup has just

got under way in Melbourne,

and England are first up.

A fascinating opening match to the

tournament. This is the atmosphere

inside the rectangular stadium in

Melbourne. Kick-off is moments away.

14 teams competing from three

co-host countries over the next six

weeks. The women's tournament

running alongside the men. It all

builds to the double-header finale

in Brisbane on the 2nd of December.

It's a big moment for England. They

haven't beaten Australia since the

opening match of the 1995 World Cup.

How they would love to produce a

performance like that in Melbourne

later.

Scotland, Wales and

Ireland also competing.

Wales get their tournament under way

against Papua New Guinea tomorrow.

They got a a warm welcome

on arrival, expect something very

different on the pitch.

Scotland face New Zealand

in their opening match.

Three of 14 teams competing, spread

out over six weeks of action.

You can follow it all across the

BBC. There is live coverage now on

BBC Two at the moment. Kick-off was

scheduled for ten o'clock. It's

moments away now. You can watch it

all on BBC Two.

The rugby union world

cup is two years away -

England head coach Eddie Jones

selecting several new faces

in his squad for the autumn

internationals next

month with that in mind.

After being left out,

prop Joe Marler is now available

for selection for two of the three

matches after his club succesfully

argued his ban for striking should

start sooner than a disciplinary

panel had initially rulled.

So as Jones prepares his team,

he could recall Marler for matches

with Australia and Samoa,

the first of those on the 18th.

All eyes on the Prinicpality Stadium

in Cardiff this weekend -

known for hosting rugby

more than boxing.

Not this weekend, as Anthony Joshua

looks to successfully defend his IBF

and WBA world titles

against the stand-in

challenger Carlos Takam.

The pair faced 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.

The mindset of the fight needs to

believe that where it was, move onto

the next opportunity. If I am living

off past wins, I might as give up.

Boxing is unforgiving. I can't lose

this fight and say I won the last

one, nobody cares. I've got to move

on.

World Number One Dustin Johnson

leads the World Golf Championships

in Shanghai, after a second

round nine under par 63.

Justin Rose is the best

placed British player,

four shots behind at nine under.

His round included this birdie

on the 16th but a bogey on the final

hole pegged him back by a shot.

Good luck to him. That is all of the

sport. Back to you.

Earlier we were talking about

children and adolescent mental

health services. The real problem

some people have in accessing them.

One father told us his

eight-year-old son had to wait 18

months to get that help. One viewer

says, heartbreaking watching your

report. This was my life's with

before I had to retire. It was a

superb job and experience. It is sad

it has ground down and all of that

experience is lost. Stephen got in

touch, saying I have been referred

to mental health services and was

contacted by a receptionist. I been

given an appointment in April.

Because I was contacted in two

weeks, officially, I am now having

treatment. But I will not have any

contact with any mental health

services until April. Keep those

thoughts coming.

There are few people

who could honestly say

they never did anything wrong

when they were growing up -

fighting in the playground,

stealing sweets from a shop,
