car so the first public appearance of the car so fast that needs an airport runway. good morning. it's thursday, 26th october. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. the uk faces a significant mental health challenge at work according to a new report, commissioned by the government, to lay bare the true scale of the issue on the nation's workforce. the thriving at work report found that more than 300,000 people leave theirjobs every year due to insufficient support for mental health problems. analysis showed that around 15% of people at work have symptoms of an existing mental health condition. it also claimed poor mental health costs the economy up to £99 billion every year. the report's author said mental health was a taboo subject in many workplaces. now the prime minister has instructed the nhs and the civil service to do more to help promote the mental wellbeing of their staff, as rob sissons reports. at this insurance company they are proud of their record of supporting workers. today's report recommends more places should be like this. aviva in sheffield says it's tried to change the way people think about mental health, training managers and encouraging openness. james tringham has a history of mental health problems, something the firm was aware of when they took him on. when i started working here, i was terrified. i had to be coaxed in and the supporting team that were training me at this stage weren't sure if i'd make it through or not although they could see that there was potential there. and work has a great benefit. it has a normalising effect. the government—ordered review which covers the whole of uk suggests what is being held up as good practice is yet to catch on. it concludes poor mental health costs businesses £42 billion a year in lost work days and low productivity. the costs to the uk economy is put even higher at £99 billion. that takes in nhs costs and caring for people, the payment of benefits and lost taxes. the government says it welcomes the report and says big employers like nhs england and the civil service, who have two million workers, will now be guaranteed tailored in—house mental health support. the government says it welcomes the report and says big employers and it will encourage small businesses to implement the recommendations. rob sissons, bbc news. let's speak to rob sissons, who joins us from the bbc newsroom. put bluntly, is the going to be the money to do the sorts of things the government would like employers to do? i think there will be many people who will say there will be enough money because this is an area that hasn't really had that much a penchant for so many years. really, what we are talking about is a culture change in the workplace. we have heard from good examples that have heard from good examples that have been highlighted in today's report that there are still places where there is an attitude if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen and we know now that work spills over into people's time away from the workplace. think of people checking their e—mails. the issue of worklife balance, the pressure put on some workers when operational needs a bit ahead of their well—being, so it is a wake—up call to many employers who have a duty of ca re to many employers who have a duty of care to look after their employees to do more. i want to ask you about one of the other big health stories today, the scheme that has been piloted in essex where patients who are fit enough to be moved out of hospital would go into the homes of private individuals to be cared for until they were well enough to return to their own homes, this aeroplane b style system is that is being called. where is this idea come from? with these people be vetted and why isn't the money going to social care instead? it is a simple, creative idea but also highly controversial. labour has said, has come to this? there are so many unanswered questions as to how it would work. it is due to ease pressure on the hospital trust inside them. across the uk we know of hospital pressures, bed blocking. a hospital bed can cost £400 a night. this temp two model would involve the state paying £100 a night. £50 of that would go to the householder. no one could make than £1000 out of it. they would have to provide meals to the patient. what about the quality of food, the vetting? the checks on people? there is a lot of detail that has not emerged yet. thank you for that. how can mental health be tackled across different industries? the charity mates in mind targets people working in construction and to talk about this more is russell stilwell, who is raising awareness through his own experiences. thank you very much for coming along today. gained by telling us about your own experiences of mental health problems. back in 2010 i experienced a mental breakdown. i had lost my father at the same time asa had lost my father at the same time as a find that that's a company had gone into liquidation owing us a lot of money. my house was secured on the loan inside the business. the coping mechanisms in my own mind stopped working. i couldn't cope any more. i was taking things out in my family on my nearest and dearest. the business nearly went. but we managed to approach my doctor who put me through and mental cbt. for meter then go through the priory... cognitive behavioural therapy. i was in the priory for 18 months for that. doing that and having to work at the same time and having the support of my family and friends did enable me to get through that. there are no two ways about it. the construction industry is doing it today. let me bring up that point. when we were chatting a few moments ago i said presumably when you started in the construction industry this was not a conversation that was happening, people talking about their mental health issues. he said their mental health issues. he said the conversation still isn't happening. no, it's not. there is a natural hierarchy in the construction industry. you have clients, contractors, subcontractor. levels go down through the industry. that creates a bullying type of culture, hierarchical culture. very macho. nacho, aggressive, gamesmanship. that is causing problems in our industry. is it about the industry per se or is it about the industry per se or is it about men not talking openly about mental health problems?” about men not talking openly about mental health problems? i think it is ingrained in the industry through yea rs of how is ingrained in the industry through years of how contracts have been put together. how the industry works, the payment terms. i also believe that the people who work inside the industry are mainly men. it is a male dominated industry. as you just rightfully said, the macho side of men admitting that they have got a problem, admitting they are feeling unwell, that they are not able to cope, it is not there. people don't wa nt to cope, it is not there. people don't want to do that. talk to us more about what you are trying to do as an ambassador for mates in about what you are trying to do as an ambassadorfor mates in mind. i know it only started injanuary. you wa nt to know it only started injanuary. you want to reach 100,000 people in the construction industry by january next year, and 75% of people in the industry by 2025. how would you try to change attitudes, to get people talking about mental health? the number one thing is communication. making people aware. there is not enough awareness out there. the research and development side, technology is changing the way construction is operating. we have delivered the number of projects in my own organisation that has proven to change culture, to be more collaborative. the technology, removing ambiguity and creating black—and—white situations. a combination of that research and development being more prevalent in oui’ development being more prevalent in our industry. people realising an understanding how to work with it, combined with an awareness, being able to recognise the signs and people. if you can't recognise the signs, just talk. make sure it is being talked about. how are you feeling today? i is your family? those conversations can lead to understanding that somebody is in a good place or if somebody is in a bad place, the mates in mind initiative, especially in construction can help. they are linked to the lighthouse charity, the samaritans. it is important that people realise that they can go there. if those sort of conversations were happening. 0f that sort of support had been around when you were going through the crisis, the loss of your father, the business problems all combined. do you think that would've made a difference to your recovery, the length of time it took to recover?|j length of time it took to recover?” think i would have minded earlier. 0ne think i would have minded earlier. one of the key things of my situation was i ignored a blip in 2007. then ignored another one in 2009 when i had lost my best friend. that affected my mental state. i then got to the stage where the business fell on bad times, then i lost my father. it compounded and where it compounded on the eye was ina bad where it compounded on the eye was in a bad state. had mates in mind been there in 2007 were in 2009, i would've been speaking about it, i would've been speaking about it, i would have been speaking about it than dealing with it. that is a key pa rt than dealing with it. that is a key part of anyone's mental state, is being able to express your feelings and get them i'd rather than keeping them closed in. it is not the way to enable yourself to get better if you are ina enable yourself to get better if you are in a bad mental state. to get below the surface a bit. absolutely. if your brain is not releasing the right chemicals you can pretend, but when you finish pretending, your brain is not working properly. you area brain is not working properly. you are a great advocate for mates in mind. thank you for coming today and good luck with it all. nhs patients recovering after an operation could be moved from a hospital bed to a stranger's spare room under radical plans being considered by health trusts in essex. we can talk to the labour shadow health minister. i don't know how much you know about the detail of this proposal. for example, do you know how, for instance, the private individuals who would take patients into their homes would be vetted?” think that is a very good question. there are a whole host of serious issues that this raises. i think when the history of bad ideas is written, this one will be right at the top. it is an example of how desperate the health and social care board sector has become due to years of underfunding that they are having to think of ideas like this, which clearly aren't appropriate at all. why would money beads that averted a private individuals rather than being put into social care, which we all know is in a crisis. it is a very good question. social care has had £5 billion worth of funding cut under this government. we know it is ina under this government. we know it is in a desperate situation. we also know that we have the lowest number of hospital beds per patient in the whole of europe. the answer is not in creating these br —— these bizarre schemes, it is investing properly in health and social care. is this on the road to privatisation, do you think?m would look like that. it is this fragmentation of the health service. will uber be driving ambulances soon? we need to get back to the principle of the health service being properly funded. let me just flip this. we were reporting the other day about the inefficiencies in thejuice of other day about the inefficiencies in the juice of operating theatres, the number of operations that could be performed each year if pearson to able to leave hospital could find a bed elsewhere before they return to their own homes. isn't this actually an innovative idea, perhaps a short—term measure to get people moving through hospitals, to free up the hospital ecosystem and get hospitals working more efficiently? we are well up for looking for ways to improve the patient flow. there are always efficiencies that can be found in hospitals but this is a reflection that the social care sector has been decimated in recent yea rs. sector has been decimated in recent years. it is a sticking plaster. there are issues about safeguarding, infection control. it hasn't been thought through and i can't see it working. 0k, justin madders, shadow health minister, thank you for your time today. we have asked the department of health for an interview, but the department has declined. it did give us a statement. the headlines on bbc newsroom live: a warning that poor mental health in the workplace is costing the uk economy billions of pounds a year. recovering nhs patients could stay in rented airbnb style rooms in plans to relieve pressure on beds, undera pilot scheme in essex. clashes between police and

stories just after 11:30 have more on those stories just after11:30 a:m.. tensions are high in kenya, where a re—run of august's presidential election is taking place. there have been clashes between police and protesters in the opposition stronghold of kisumu. early indications suggest that turnout is much lower than in the original poll. 0pposition leader raila 0dinga has urged his supporters to refuse to take part in the re—run. 0ur correspondent tomi 0ladipojoins us now from the kenyan capital, nairobi. so even though the supreme court annulled the election results, there isa annulled the election results, there is a lack of confidence in this rerun. why is that? the rerun was set for today, but as time went on there were lots of questions about this new votes and the way it was set up. there were several dozen cases put through to the different courts, the high court in the supreme court, to delay the selection so everything could be run ina selection so everything could be run in a proper manner. there had been questions about the credibility of the electoral body running the selection. as recently as wednesday there was supposed to be a petition, that wanted to delay this election, but the supreme courtjudges didn't show up. 0nly but the supreme courtjudges didn't show up. only two out of seven turned up, so that petition could not be heard. that is feeding into a lack of confidence in the system and voting process. what is the logical conclusion of this? will it be president temp two again or will it be some sort of limbo while politicians in the country try to reach a conclusion on what to do next? —— uhuru kenyatta. regardless of what happens in the boat today there are still likely to be legal battles. that is what will determine the future. regardless of who wins the vote today, there was to bea who wins the vote today, there was to be a lot of challenges to it. we talked about the low turnout. this polling station, one of the major ones in the country, we saw the short queues in the morning thin out and there is barely anyone here. people are only trickling in one or two at the time. it gives a pic of the faith people have in the system at the moment. thank you. at least 47 people have been killed in an explosion at a firework factory in indonesia. police say dozens more have been injured in the blast in tangerang near the country's capital, jakarta. parts of the building are reported to have collapsed during the explosion and nearby cars burnt out. officials say the blaze has now been brought under control. four people have been killed in finland in a collision between a train and an army truck on a remote level crossing. the defence ministry said three of the dead were soldiers, thought to be conscripts doing compulsory military service. the royal british legion have launched this year's poppy appeal, with the words to one of the most famous world war i poems spelled out in locations in england, wales and france in poppies. let's get more on this from ena miller, who's at the royal chelsea hospital. tell us more about this idea. the royal british legion is recreating the words of a famous poem written in 1915, called in flanders fields. this year they decided to spell it out in poppies. each line of that pawn is positioned in seven different locations around the country. there is one of dunkirk beach. another in dover and another at media city in salford. as you said, i'm at the royal hospital chelsea in london. this is where the poem begins. i'm not too sure how well you can see it, butjust behind me the poppies spell out the first line which is, in flanders fields the poppies grew between the crosses rule on group. the lines end just over there. the last sentence will be positioned in manchester. i have claire from the royal british legion with me. welcome, claire. what made you decide to do something like this? we have taken an acorn put --. we have ta ken this? we have taken an acorn put --. we have taken this iconic pawn and recreated it across the country. really to bring to the eye of the nation that armed forces community still live amongst us throughout the country. but it is also to raise money as well as raise awareness. absolutely. this is the launch of the poppy appeal. this lodges are iconic poppy appeal today, as well. what do you do with the money you raise? we support armed forces communities, better and young and old. we support them in different ways through crisis help for those who need immediate support. we support our older veterans in the ca re support our older veterans in the care homes. we help our younger veterans as they transition into civilian life. we have a range of welfare support services. thank you very much forjoining us, claire. last year they raised £46 million. this year they want to do better and raise £47 million. this one is not open to the public, but if people do wa nt to open to the public, but if people do want to go and see something there is one in staffordshire that they can see. the numbers of disadvantaged pupils gaining places at top universities could be significantly raised if entry requirements for those students were lowered by two grades, according to research. a study by the sutton trust showed that if a student's background is taken in to account when making offers, what it calls contextual admissions, the numbers of students from less well off families could rise by 50% at those universities. joining me now from our studio in westminster is the director of research at the sutton trust, conor ryan. good morning to you. thanks for taking the time to talk to us. what sort of numbers argued talking about? are many more students to be getting into the top universities? good morning, need to. if we were just looking at those he had received free school lunches when they were aged 16, we are talking about another 750, from the 1500 who are getting in at the moment. if you are getting in at the moment. if you are from the most disadvantaged areas, only 2% to 3% are getting into the top universities. these universities are crucial for getting on, social mobility. what we are really saying is it is important that universities are very transparent and open about the sort of policies. the evidence from the report today is that they were already doing a certain amount of lowering grades and they are doing it across the board from all backgrounds. we want them to be transparent and say if you have had to come from a disadvantaged background to have had to work harder, so we will give you a break. in other words, those students need that extra nudge to apply for those universities. does the onus for that lie more with the universities or with schools and with teachers to give those able students are pushing the right direction? it is a responsibility of us all, certainly schools and teachers giving good advice. it is a responsibility for universities, too. there are spending £250 million a year across the top universities on access. we work with them on summer schools will be get 2,000 people to those university to experience what they like. they say they are doing quite a bit around contextualisation, but it is quite often hidden on their websites and places that are difficult to find. we had research spending weeks looking at this. if they were more open and transparent and they say you have a disadvantaged background we will give you an extra break because it is harderfor you to get give you an extra break because it is harder for you to get those grades than would be if you went to a fee—paying school, had private tuition. is there a gap between what the universities say they are doing and what they are actually doing? some are doing great work. bristol have been doing this for ten years. 0thers have been doing this for ten years. others are doing some of it. we would like to be more consistent, more transparent than we could have a partnership between universities and schools to make sure that the full potential of people from more disadvantaged backgrounds is realised. thank you. the king of thailand is presiding over buddhist funeral rituals for his late father, king bhumibol adulyadej, who died a year ago after seven decades on the throne. a vast procession has been making its way through the capital, bangkok. huge crowds are on the streets to pay their last respects. the body of the king will be cremated later tonight in a golden pavilion specially constructed for the funeral. 0ur south—east asia correspondent jonathan head is in bangkok. you feel there are two events really going on. the formalities, and this isa going on. the formalities, and this is a highly ritualised very carefully prepared procession that is bound up notjust with buddhist but hindu mythology, that is reaching the first stage. the last stage of the possession, the kind that symbolically holds the king's body, it is being hoisted up from a gun carriage into the cremation pavilion. that is happening not far behind me. most of the people here, and there are massive numbers in the central area can't really see it. they are enjoying being close to the late king, for whom they had this very strong personal affection. there is a sort of almost family picnic atmosphere here. it is very hot. some of these people have been waiting for days. they are sharing stories, sharing food. lots of volunteers, lots of medics. it is not serious yet, we are not close to that moment of cremation when i think the atmosphere will become sombre. it is traditional for members of the royal family to lie in state. there is a strong sense that people need to be reminded of their importance. king bhumibol adulyadej shaped modern thailand. the thai people have been told that they should be grateful for him for everything in their country. some of the thai people don't agree with that, but there are very strict laws on talking about the monarchy. at the same time, for many of the people this is the end of an era. they are anxious about what follows. they are anxious about what follows. they ascribe all of the country's su ccesses they ascribe all of the country's successes to his wisdom, his common sense. at the same time the ritual is being used by a military government that is very royalist and conscious of modern—day threats to the men are reinforcing people's minds its elite status. so there is a propaganda effort, and the genuine shared public moment going on here. now, the weather. have very different day compared to yesterday through england and wales. a lot more cloud around is. we have some rain mainly affecting northern parts of england, particularly towards the east pennines. elsewhere across england and wales, a few bright skies, turning warmer. further north with some sun chang temperatures 13 celsius, but feeling a bit colder than yesterday. tonight, kleiner —— cloud

ican't remember. fives, and probably a little dance. i can't remember. it was so lovely. drinks all round in the clubhouse. those were quite some odds! some breaking news coming in and the last moment. commons leader andrea leadsom has told mps that the european union withdraw bill known as the repeal bill will return to the commons on the 14th of november. you remember the leak before last we we re you remember the leak before last we were told that it wasn't going to be in the commons when it was expected, that there was going to be a delay. but now we have been given a date from the commons leader andrea leadsom saying that there withdrawal bill will be in the commons on the 14th of november. you remember, of course, yesterday the brexit secretary david davis had said that mps might not get about on a final brexit deal before the uk has left the european union, but he has made it clear this morning that that will happen in advance of the uk living, despite those suggestions from him yesterday. joining us now from westminster is our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. a confusing picture from david davis. and now in use at the withdraw bill will be in the commons in a couple of weeks. david davis muddied the waters of it yesterday, appearing in front of a parliamentary committee, and he said that in his opinion the eu dez delete things up to the last minute so the brexit talks could go right up to the wire, ibrahimovic getan right up to the wire, ibrahimovic get an agreement until the 11th hour, ee said. and if that were to be the case, well, that might mean that mps here and peers in the house of lords might not get a chance to vote on the deal until the uk has actually left the eu, until after the 29th of march, 2019. that caused a bit of consternation. some mps are very angry about that. the brexit apartment and damaged the yesterday had to clarify things and say that it was their intention, not only to get a good deal, but they get it in good time so that both houses of parliament would get about. nevertheless, labour called the david davis to be summoned to the house of commons this morning to explain himself. here is what the brexit secretary said. we have been very clear that i can start the process, there will be a vote in both houses of parliament on the final deal that we agree with the european union. i will reiterate the commitment my minister gave at the dispatch box during the article 50 bill when he said, i can confirm the government will bring forward a motion on the final agreement to be considered by both houses of parliament. vote will cover not only withdrawal agreements and the rangers but also the future relationship with the european union. these remain our commitments. the terms of this vote are also clear. as the minister said at the time the choice will be meaningful, whether to accept that the law to move ahead without a deal. of course, this will not happen until there is a deal to vote upon, but we are working to reach an agreement on a final deal in good time before we leave the european union in march 2000 and 19. clearly, we cannot say for certain at this stage when this will be agreed. david davis - on michel eu draft —— michel eafqiscgths ee efeffiew' ' " "" ,,, michel be'q‘ie‘eees ee efeffiew' ' " "" ,,, thegesee’" '* f f” michel be'q‘ie‘eees ee efeffiew' ' " "" ,,,

agreement by this time next year, october 2000 and 18. david davis said that is the government's game two. david davis said yesterday that it was a pretty tight timescale. here is a shadow brexit secretary keir starmer telling the commons what he thinks of the matter. what a mess! shambles! one thing one day, another thing the next. yesterday the secretary of state was asked by the secretary of state was asked by the brexit committee good about in our parliament be after 2019, the answer, yes, it could be. later in the day, the prime minister had a go at correcting him, then his own spokesperson had to clarify his remarks. today he says the vote will be before the deal is concluded. that is not good enough, mr speaker. this issue yesterday, i think feeds into the critics of the government, that ministers don't seem to be on the same page in all of this, they haven't got a grip on the challenges of the brexit negotiations. and certainly, it does create uncertainty. and of course, what is said here in westminster is heard in brussels. there are still lots of unknowns. what if we get that vote this time next year, and what of the commons rejects it? we don't know what would happen if that were to be the case. in all of these brexit negotiations this is an unprecedented process. there are many unknowns in it. and that final update, that we do know finally know when the eu withdraw bill, that cut and paste piece of legislation, that will bring all eu law on to the uk statute books, we now know that that will be in mid—november. statute books, we now know that that will be in mid-november. eleanor, thank you very much. more than 3,000 documents relating to the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy will be released by the us national archives today. the president was shot while travelling in an open top car in dallas in 1963. time has not dimmed america's fascination with the kennedys, a fairy tale family cursed by fate. newsreel: president kennedy has been assassinated. it's official now. the president is dead. more than half a century after his assassination in dallas, many americans still believe that jfk's killer, lee harvey oswald, was not acting alone. donald trump had his own conspiracy theory once, that the father of his campaign rival, senator ted cruz, was somehow involved. what was he doing with lee harvey 0swald shortly before the death, before the shooting? it's horrible. donald trump alleges that my dad was involved in assassinating jfk. now, let's be clear. this is nuts. mr trump has come under pressure from congress to allow the latest batch of documents to be released. some relate to 0swald's mysterious trip to mexico where he met cuban and soviet spies. the 1992 law which ordered some fbi case files to be kept secret was intended to quell growing speculation. even now parts of the evidence will be redacted. what might have been, had kennedy survived, is still the subject of a national debate that will never be settled. it is unlikely that these documents will end the equally passionate obsession with his death. iamjaume i amjaume —— i am joined now by the author and academic, james. does anybody know what is in these documents? ——james d —— james d boys. ——james d boys. it is —— james d boys. it is expected there will be material within these files relating to lee harvey 0swald's visits to mexico city in the weeks leading up to kennedy's assassination. speculation about what that might involve. the speculation at the time was that one of the reasons these files were kept secret was that they related to foreign governments and lyndon johnson's words, if the american people found out what was in it, it could lead to nuclear war. role but there'll be material here for the conspiracy theorists? there have been so many conspiracy theories around jfk's death. i been so many conspiracy theories aroundjfk's death. i guess been so many conspiracy theories around jfk's death. i guess there will be material therefore whatever mindset people have about the story. you took the words out of my mouth. my you took the words out of my mouth. my approach is that you will take from it what you bring to it. if you wa nt to from it what you bring to it. if you want to approach these files believing that the government were lying, you will think that this is clear evidence of the lone gunman theory, if you believe in a conspiracy you will either find material to back that up there will bea material to back that up there will be a lack of material to be drawn upon as evidence that they are" hiding something". this was set back in 1992. has there been any need to make sure that it happened or has anyone tried to stop it? oliver stone put the moviejfk out in 1991 and a few raw power generated then led george w bush to sign legislation that said that 25 years from that point, this material would come out, unless it was stopped at that point by the current american president so donald trump as the current president could have blocked this material. business decision not to do so was his only contribution at this point. —— his decision. to do so was his only contribution at this point. -- his decision. do think there will be anything that affects the intelligence services currently? some of this material has been produced since the 1990s and there was concern that it might relate to live cia agents. that material might well be redacted, but quite frankly i think lots of people would be looking to see what is and isn't redacted and will draw their own conclusions from that. lots of reading to get through on that. james d boys, thank you very much. some breaking news coming in. this is in relation to the airbnb arrangement, this proposal in the essex area to move patients who are well enough to leave hospital but not well enough to go home enter their homes of private individuals who would effectively be paid for having them in their homes and this isa having them in their homes and this is a statement from the deputy chief executive of southend university hospital nhs foundation trust, and he has said, whilst we welcome and encourage new ideas and innovation there is no intention and there never has been, for hospital to support this pilot at this time. we would never compromise the safety and quality of care for patients, and quality of care for patients, and we will not support this pilot until the necessary safeguarding and quality arrangements are in place and there has been full engagement and there has been full engagement and discussion with local communities on the proposal. he says this will happen after a period of detailed work that we have requested. so that statement from the chief executive, reflecting the huge amount of concern, the huge number of questions and the controversy generated by that idea. powered by a jet engine and a rocket, the bloodhound racing car has been described as the most complicated motor ever built. its british—led team hopes it will go much faster than the current land—speed record of 763mph. 0ur correspondent robert hall reports. 0ther other science correspondent rebecca morrell is at newquay airport. this car is so fast that it needs an airport runway. yes, that's right. excitement is building here today. after ten yea rs excitement is building here today. after ten years are very hard work, the bloodhound supersonic car will be put through its place —— put through its paces today, reaching 0— 200 miles an hour in eight seconds. that sounds fast but in a couple of yea rs' that sounds fast but in a couple of years' time it will be up to 1000 miles an hour. i will take you on a run through of the car. at the bottom, we have the nose cone of the car. when you are travelling at 1000 mph, you have to be careful that air does not get under the car and left it up. it has to stay on the ground to break the land speed record. 0n the desert in south africa but the real test will ta ke the desert in south africa but the real test will take place, these tyres will be spinning at 10,000 rpm. the cockpit is where the driver, andy green, is going to be lying down. it is a bit like how you drive a sports car. he's going to be steering this thing. it is notjust a case of steering the real and going forward, it shakes around a lot, it is a really dangerous job. here is where the real power is, the jet engine. this is an engine that there is normally on the eurofighter typhoon aircraft. this is going to get the carup typhoon aircraft. this is going to get the car up to 200 miles an hour. it can get much faster. it is limited here because the runway is only1.7 limited here because the runway is only 1.7 miles long. they are going to be adding a rocket engine, something that normally blast things up something that normally blast things up into space. that will take it up to 1000 mph. that'll be the key component. 0ut to 1000 mph. that'll be the key component. out at the back, we're going to see huge orange flames shooting out the back at the airport as it travels along. the test today, it is quite slow for this car, but it is quite slow for this car, but it is quite slow for this car, but it is really a chance to test the system. it is a chance to test the brakes, the steering, the suspension and seed how this engine actually performs and you can start extra polates performs and you can start extrapolates up, because if you know how it works at 200 mph, you can see how it works at 200 mph, you can see how it works at 200 mph, you can see how it will run at 1000. no one has ever done this before, built a car like this. they are moving into the unknown. it is a very exciting time for the team. is it 1pm for the test? that's right. the car will be driven out of the, paraded around for a bit, then it is going to head up for a bit, then it is going to head up the runway, 0— 200 injust eight seconds, we will see huge flames behind it, almost the length of the car, the flames, and very noisy at 200 decibel is. then it will turn around and run back down again, but the test is limited by the length of the test is limited by the length of the runway. it has to get to that speed but also stop. that is quite important. you don't want it to go hurtling off at the end. that would be the end of this world record attempt, which would be quite premature. thank you very much, rebecca in newquay, with the bloodhound. in a minute, a summary of the business headlines. this hour but first, the headlines on bbc newsroom live: an nhs trust is a similar percentage plans to put patients in rented airbnb style accommodation to relieve pressure on hospital beds. blabbing protests as the rerun of the kenyon presidential election goes ahead. —— there have been protests. let's get the business update. bt is to reduce costs for customers who only have a landline by almost 40%. it comes after a review by regulator 0fcom which said customers with landlines only had been getting poor value for money compared to those who have bundle packages. it will take effect from april. uk car production fell last month — after a fall in demand in the home market for new cars. the figures from the society of motor manufacturers and traders show a 14% drop in demand in the uk market. total car production for september was down 4%. barclays has announced third quarter pre—tax profits are up by 31% to £1.1 billion but its investment banking profits are down. the bank said it's been a difficult quarter for its markets business. and it's having an impact on its share price. uk car production has fallen for a fifth month. that's according to the society of motor manufacturers and traders who say there was a 14% fall in demand in the home market with 6,500 fewer new cars produced than in the same period last year. they say one of the reasons is because of brexit uncertainty. the government says the uk's car industry remains a success. tamzen isacsson is from the society of motor manufacturers and traders. many thanks for joining many thanks forjoining us on the programme. what do you think is behind this fall in production? there's been lots of uncertainty, for sure, lots of it related to brexit, getting some input from businesses and consumers that they are delaying these big—ticket purchase items, which is why, in the uk, we have seen this decline of 14%. there was another factor, confusion over the government air—quality plans. there are mixed m essa g es air—quality plans. there are mixed messages for consumers over the summer about buying diesel cars. many consumers should be reassured that, if they buy a diesel car now it will not face any ban anywhere in the uk orany it will not face any ban anywhere in the uk or any charge. the latest new ca rs are the uk or any charge. the latest new cars are low emissions and we want to try and encourage people to adopt these new low emission vehicles. going back to the first, in terms of uncertainty over brexit negotiations, the chief executive of your organisation has recently said that leaving the eu with no deal would be the worst outcome for our sector. no deal would be the worst outcome for our sector. by the sea say that? it would be highly irresponsible to have no deal for the automotive sector. we have benefited from being in the european union, having a very tight relationship with the eu, and if we have no deal and resort to wta paris, we will face punitive tariffs for both our car exports going out and pass going in and what that will do is increase the cost of producing a car here in the uk. it will add costs through customs and bureaucratic checks on borders. and really, that could hinder the car production here in the uk and cause these big delay —— these big, global companies to shift production elsewhere. another major driver is this 14% fall in demand here in the uk, so consumer confidence, it is not high, people still feeling quite cautious. but a substantial number of cars produced in the uk are designed for export, so how does it balance out? the uk automotive sector has been a big success story. 80% of the product here is exported to over 160 countries around the world. that is a great sign that we produce great models that people wa nt to produce great models that people want to buy. 20% of what we produce is bought by domestic markets, still a significant and important part. in september we saw new car registrations down 10%. again, affected by the uncertain conditions caused by brexit, which is why we are calling upon the government to give detail about the future transition about the future trade agreement that we will have with european union, so that we can restore consumer confidence and restore consumer confidence and restore business confidence and get consumers to buy new cars and also businesses to continue to invest here in the uk. this time now for the weather forecast. here is simon king. we have lots of crowd around at the moment across england and wales. cloudier than it was yesterday. some outbreaks of ring around, also. this is the scene in carmarthenshire. drizzle and cloud over the mountains. the bulk of the rain across parts of lancashire, through merseyside towards yorkshire. the rain is particularly heavy, here. to the south, lots of cloud, to the north, sunshine. later this afternoon there could be brakes ona this afternoon there could be brakes on a cloud in south—west england and south wales. despite the cloud, temperatures still reaching up to 17, perhaps 18 celsius. mostly cloudy sums it up for england and wales. that rain continuing across northern england. for northern ireland and scotland, the best of the bright weather. some showers across the far north, but it is still quite chilly in scotland and northern ireland, with temperatures around 12 celsius. this evening and tonight, cloud syncing southwards, the rain going with it and, as we get that, we have clearing skies across northern areas, so temperatures will be down into single figures and in the countryside it will feel colder than that. just about in double figures in the south. friday morning, cloudy start in southern areas but that cloud quickly clears and then we will see all parts of the uk having a dry day on friday, with lots of sunshine throughout the day as well. it will feel a bit chilly at around 11 in the north and even in the south east were starting to see temperatures dropping, 15 celsius by the afternoon. by saturday, rain affecting western scotland and parts of north—west england, west wales. lots of cloud the start of the weekend. temperatures around 14—16. into sunday things change again. we have high pressure to the south west. that brings in a northerly wind. look at those isobars tracking up wind. look at those isobars tracking up towards greenland and iceland. and the at the moment is where we have got some cold air. that is going to filter southwards sewn into sunday, that cold air filtering into many areas. for the south west, not quite in the cold air, so it might be, temperatures around 14, 15 but elsewhere, temperatures at best around eight or nine celsius. that's it, bye—bye. this is bbc news and these are the top stories developing at midday: a warning that poor mental health in the workplace is costing the uk economy billions of pounds a year. an nhs trust insists it will not press ahead with plans to put recovering nhs patients in rented airbnb—style rooms to relieve pressure on hospital beds. police and immigration officers arrested 11 people in one of britain's biggest ever operations against people smuggling. the catalan president is expected to call a snap

crosses row on row. the first public appearance for the car so fast that it needs an airport runway! good morning. it's thursday, 26th october. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. the uk faces a significant mental health challenge at work, according to a new report commissioned by the government, which shows the scale of the issue affecting the nation's workforce. the thriving at work report found that more than 300,000 people leave theirjobs every year due to insufficient support for mental health problems. analysis showed that around 15% of people at work have symptoms of an existing mental health condition. it also claimed poor mental health costs the economy up to £99 billion every year. the report's author said mental health was a taboo subject in many workplaces. now the prime minister has instructed the nhs and the civil service to do more to help promote the mental wellbeing of their staff, as rob sissons reports. at this insurance company they are proud of their record of supporting workers. today's report recommends more places should be like this. aviva in sheffield says it's tried to change the way people think about mental health, training managers and encouraging openness. james tringham has a history of mental health problems, something the firm was aware of when they took him on. when i started working here, i was terrified. i had to be coaxed in and the supporting team that were training me at this stage weren't sure if i'd make it through or not although they could see that there was potential there. and work has a great benefit. it has a normalising effect. the government ordered review which covers the whole of uk suggests what is being held up as good practice is yet to catch on. it concludes poor mental health costs businesses £42 billion a year in lost work days and low productivity. the costs to the uk economy is put even higher at £99 billion. that takes in nhs costs and caring for people, the payment of benefits and lost taxes. the government says it welcomes the report and says big employers like nhs england and the civil service, who have two million workers, will now be guaranteed tailored in—house mental health support. and it will encourage small businesses to implement the recommendations. rob sissons, bbc news. nhs trusts in essex are looking at plans to allow patients who are waiting to be discharged to be moved into private rented rooms to ease pressure on beds in hospital wards. the idea has come from an emergency doctor in southend, but nhs england says it's a long way from being implemented. labour has dismissed the idea is inappropriate. there are a whole host of very serious issues this raises. the dues really when the history of bad ideas is written, this one will be right there at the top of them. it is an example of how desperate the health and social care board sector has come in recent yea rs. board sector has come in recent years. we did ask the department of health for an interview, but it declined. it did give us a statement. south engine averse to the hospital trust said that walid welcome new ideas there was no intention, and never has been, for the hospital to support the pilot that this time. our health editor, hugh pym, is here to explain more. let's begin with the mental health at work story, our main story today so far. the government has asked the nhs and civil service to look at this, but is there more money going into what it wants to see happening? there is not new money involved in this and to some people, that might make them sceptical. this new review, commissioned by theresa may, isa review, commissioned by theresa may, is a really important statement. it is a really important statement. it is putting the idea of mental health in the workplace right to the forefront of the debate. it hasn't been talked about much in all of the debates about mental illness. been talked about much in all of the debates about mental illnessm been talked about much in all of the debates about mental illness. it is getting the conversation started, which is arguablyjust as important. it is effectively saying this is what business should be doing. encouraging openness, starting conversations, making a workforce plan to remove the stigma so that the member of staff doesn't feel worried about being opened about how they are feeling. some companies are already doing that and they say it is possible for all big companies and yes small companies might need help to adopt it, but that can be done. theresa may has achieved once the civil service and nhs england to sign up to this, covering something like 2 million public sector workers. the proof of whether or not it will achieve anything will come in future months and years. let's look at this airbnb idea. it is a proposal from look at this airbnb idea. it is a proposalfrom one look at this airbnb idea. it is a proposal from one emergency doctor that certainly has caught the imagination today. a number of people in different places noise seemed to be saying, steady on, we are not rushing headlong into this. to be clear it is one trust in one pa rt to be clear it is one trust in one part of the country, southend. you have a lot of it on the right round the country, so different commissioning groups, social care providers, different trusts and do different things. it is not a national policy. southend had talked toa national policy. southend had talked to a private company about the idea of patients who had minor of treatments, they could go to a local householder, who are paid a month, to give them a bed. some might say, given the problems in hospitals of clearing beds, maybe in theory it is not a bad idea. critics immediately said what about the safeguarding angle? will it be properly regulated and scrutinised ? angle? will it be properly regulated and scrutinised? after a lot of comment today the trust has said it won't happen any time soon. the pilot would even start until a lot of work has been done on safeguarding and quality arrangements. the nhs will probably say ina arrangements. the nhs will probably say in a quiet word that this needs a lot of work. tensions are high in kenya, where a re—run of august's presidential election is taking place. there have been clashes between police and protesters in the opposition stronghold of kisumu. early indications suggest that turnout is much lower than in the original poll. 0pposition leader raila 0dinga has urged his supporters to refuse to take part. this is an election like no other. i was at this polling centre in august and there were long queues of people. it was unbelievable. all around this field there were long lines, but today they are using just have to field and in some stations people don't even have to queue. radius pulled saw a high turnout and enthusiastic voters. but this time it is very different. this is the second election in three months and kenyan have grown weary of the process. our gloomy, grey morning only adding to the despondency. right now there is a lot of anxiety in the country. probably people are still feeling a bit scared to come out. i would encourage those at home to come out, it is safe. there is a lot of security presence. kenny needs to move on. the deeds leadership. it needs to make as position, have a direction. i don't think staying away will serve any of those. i strongly believe we have to vote and make a choice and we unlock the stalemate and move on. last time the stalemate and move on. last time the turnout was high. i think people are disappointed. it is not about the politicians, it is about our country. allegiance to the leading political parties has peaked here in nairobi. it is a snapshot of the deeply divided country. the opposition is boycotting the ball and the incumbent has called on his supporters to vote in large numbers. but the low turnout or no time —— no turnout in many areas, will lead to questions about the credibility of this election and in the long term the legitimacy of kenya's next government. either way, the political crisis in this country is a long way from being resolved. police across europe say they have dismantled a crime gang smuggling people from countries including afghanistan, pakistan and vietnam across the continent and into the uk. here, police and immigration officers arrested 11 people in one of britains' biggest ever operations against people smuggling. 200 officers took part in overnight raids at addresses in london, birmingham and gateshead. i'm joined by our correspondentjon donnison. 0ne one of the biggest operations in the uk against people smuggling. here in the uk, 11 people arrested. police raided more than 40 properties in gateshead, london and birmingham. those weird happened in the early hours of this morning. they say this involved an operation bringing people in predominantly from afghanistan, but also pakistan and vietnam. smuggling them into the uk in secret compartments in trucks and va ns in secret compartments in trucks and vans that were then driven in on ferries or through the tunnel into britain. this operation has also involved euro paul? that's right, joint operation. there were reared this morning in belgium and also in bulgaria. 15 arrests there. the operation involved france and the netherlands and what the home office is keen to stress is that this is very much ongoing. they are expecting further arrests today and in coming days. how does this fit into the wider picture in terms of trying to tackle people smuggling? the home office is keen to point out that the people being brought in are extremely vulnerable. they are coming from countries facing a lot of problems. many of the people being brought in are going into modern—day slavery, being sexually exploited. they are keen to portray these people as victims and keen to crack down on the gangs involved who are making quite a lot of money. we asked how many people did this gang bring in? that is something that the home office immigration officials are trying to assess. and the longest gang had been operating for. that's right. whether this is the primary gang operating in the uk, or whether it is part of some sort of wider network. we could expect rates ina number of wider network. we could expect rates in a number of countries across europe in the coming days. let's look at some of today's other developing stories. the aerospace engineer bombardier is to cut 280 jobs in northern ireland, according to the unite union. it's the latest in a series of job losses at the firm. last year 1,000 staff were made redundant as part of the company's plan to cut costs and increase profitability. at least 47 people have been killed in an explosion at a firework factory in indonesia. police say dozens more have been injured in the blast in tangerang near the country's capital, jakarta. parts of the

been told they should consider monitoring the social media used by young people who are at risk of being involved in crime. the recommendation's been made by her majesty's inspectorate of probation, which has warned that a quarter of the crimes it studied were directly linked to social media. here's our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. violent crime is increasing after yea rs of violent crime is increasing after years of decline. this report reveals that increasingly the way young people communicate is making the problem worse. aggressive m essa g es the problem worse. aggressive messages online have resulted in physical assaults on the streets. gangs make videos which can raise tensions with their rivals. social media is used to blackmail and intimidate, especially sexually. 0ut of more than 100 cases studied by the inspectors, one in four were directly linked to something put on social media. the report concludes there is a strong case for monitoring the social media output of young people who pose a risk to others. but the internet is not the only triggered. three out of four involved in youth crime had suffered some sort of previous emotional trauma, making it more likely they would offend. we find a range of things. sometimes several exchanges could escalate into violence when people met, particularly if there is a knife involved. secondly, people were using social media to plan crime. thirdly, sometimes people were using social media to commit crime, so for example blackmailing people who put u nfortu nate example blackmailing people who put unfortunate images of themselves on that medium. youth offending teams struggle to keep up with the jargon used online. as one youth worker put it, they used to hang around on street corners, neither get into arguments or plan offences on the internet. the royal british legion has launched this year's poppy appeal with the words to one of the most famous world war i poems spelled out in locations across england, wales and france in poppies. let's get more on this from ena miller, who's at the royal chelsea hospital. it said beautiful and poignant idea to do this, isn't it? yes, it's beautiful, poignant and we are in a beautiful, poignant and we are in a beautiful location here. as you said, the royal british legion is recreating the words of that famous poem, recreating the words of that famous o . recreating the words of that famous poem, in flanders fields, that was written byjohn mccrae in 1915. they are doing that with the poppies you see behind me. each line of is positioned in the seven different locations around the country. there is one in dunkirk, another into fur and another at media city in sa ltfo rd. and another at media city in saltford. i'm at the royal hospital chelsea in london. this is where of the poem begins. you can't really see it back clearly, but what the sentence here starts off with is in flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses row on row. the end of the poem ends up in manchester. i have beenjoined i'm mike and linda. you have both benefited from the funds that have been raised by the poppy appeal in the past. i injured myself while in the past. i injured myself while in the army and after 17 years i was told that my career would come to an end. it threw me into quite a slump of depression and put me in a dark place. i attempted a recovery centre in germany which was fully funded by the legion. there they provided me with sleep management, pain management, counselling. it put me in another environment with people in my situation. about that support i don't know where we would be today. linda, do you think you would still be a family if you didn't have that support? not at all. i lost my husband when we went to afghanistan. it didn't come back the same person. the children lost their father. it still takes time, but they have become —— have helped us become not just a couple again, but a family unit again. so when you come to this lovely setting and see something like this, is it important to you? what does it mean to you? it means everything. there is somebody out there that has lost somebody and this brings it all to a focal point. i was honoured when i got the phone call to be asked to comment to this. it is amazing. thank you both very much forjoining me. last year, they grind about £46 million.

in the city has been found guilty of helping his preparations by buying him the weapon he was going to use. he had denied preparing an act of terrorism by assisting her husband. madihah taheer had denied preparing an act of terrorism by assisting her husband ummariyat mirza earlier this year. the jury at woolwich crown court took less than a day to convict her of the single charge. dominic

inspired by other attacks they have seen either in i took into more abroad. madihah taheer admitted she had supported the self—styled islamic state group, claiming she had been brainwashed by her future husband. the claiming she had been brainwashed by herfuture husband. the prosecutor said words from social media gave her away. as their wedding approached, madihah taheer message from boyfriend saying i want you to kill people for me. i have a list. ummariyat mirza said on the day of marriage i will kill them all. give me the list. reply, you can't have it until you put a ring on it. radicalisation experts say her conviction is symptomatic of the new rule that some woman i play. in this particular case, what we have seen isa particular case, what we have seen is a woman who seems to be in control. she is confident. she is not someone who is going to stand there. she is actively encouraging. that needs to be borne in mind in the shift that is occurring. it also challenges our notion of what a woman's role within these movements has to be when we look at it in a broader global context. the jury concluded that madihah taheer was not a naive young woman. she was her husband was a willing partner in crime. she wanted a hero like the painting she placed on facebook profile, and she found him. they both face jail. i'm joined by our home affairs correspondent dominic casciani. how serious was this plot, hopeless we re how serious was this plot, hopeless were they to carry on the site? high close ummariyat mirza was to the plot is difficult to say, which is why he was charged and admitted this offence of preparing an act of terrorism. he had made the preparations, he hadn't finalised what he was going to do. at the moment of arrest where he is wrestled to the ground by armed police, he didn't have any weapons on him. when police searched his home he had air rifles and things like that, which he had an obsession with, but also a lot of knives. the thinking is that he was going to carry out a rampage. everything was happening have the westminster bridge attack. he had been obsessing for months on lined with his wife and sister about needing to strike as ed jihadist against what he called the unbelievers. this is a major plot that has been boiled this year. it is the only ones at the moment that we have been able to talk openly about legal reasons. talk to us about the of madihah taheer. 0ne talk to us about the of madihah taheer. one of your interviewees said that her behaviour challenges some people's perception about women act in these situations. it is an important point of the things and how they are changing. historically, the threat was about men going off to try tojoin the threat was about men going off to try to join al-qaeda, to get bomb—making training of thing, to come back and temp two strike against western target. syria changed on that because that was about trying to build a community of believers and their supporters in syria and across iraq. that meant there was an opportunity for women to to get involved. they stop being something as simple as passive observers of what was going on. in the madihah taheer case, that is one of the prime examples or prosecutors we re of the prime examples or prosecutors were able to say in court this woman was there, she was at the heart of the action, she believed in what husband wanted to do. she encouraged it and took steps to help him prepare. the king of thailand is presiding over buddhist funeral rites for his late father, king bhumibol adulyadej, who died a year ago after seven decades on the throne. a vast procession has been making its way through the capital, bangkok. huge crowds are on the streets to pay their last respects. the body of the king will be cremated later today in a golden pavilion specially constructed for the funeral. 0ur south—east asia correspondent jonathan head is in bangkok. strict laws in thailand mean you are restricted about what you can say, but tell us about the rituals of today, because the observance of these rituals is very important. there is a military government in thailand who organises funeral. they have spent £60 million on it. it does conform to tradition. it is more elaborate than some recent funerals. there has not been a king who has died in thailand since 1946 when the king took over, he was on the throne for 71 years. it is that longevity that this means why he's so important to the type people. you could say he's the father of modern thailand. he has presided over the transformation of this country from an agricultural backwater, a poor developing country to a dynamic and prosperous nation, today. and the people you can see behind me here are part of a crowd of many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands who have come to bangkok, really, to say thank you. it was an unusual relationship. the king rebuilt the monarchy as a very ritualised, elite and exalted in situation where it was almost untouchable. he is viewed asa god. was almost untouchable. he is viewed as a god. many of these rituals that you're seeing our rituals that are designed to take him back to heaven, so to speak. was down to earth man in person, committed to developing his country and people here felt like they had a personal connection with him. you seeing all of these people who cannot get to the cremation side, we are not far from it, but it is very restricted, the people who can get there and people are lining up to go to other shrines where they can lay wooden flowers that will be burned at the same time as the king is cremated tonight, and then we see the transferring of the royal urn to the spectacular crematorium, lots of pageantry happening, but they are almost like wolves apart, it is a big national moment. everybody knows that the parting of the king means that the country will move to add new and in many ways uncertain stage in its history. ben rich has all the weather details for us now. good afternoon. cloudy conditions for many at the moment. it is relatively mild. that is going to change to the next few days. temperatures gradually creeping downwards. through the rest of this afternoon, cloud across the southern half with drizzle, and misty conditions and a band of rain across northern england, but to the north that some bright skies and hazy sunshine, some showers into the far north, 13 in the far north, 17 in london and any practice in the south could lift temperatures up to 19 celsius. tonight, southern areas holding onto cloudy conditions all night long. not so further north, cold enough for a touch of frost in some places, with the odd for patch as well. it sets is up a beautiful day tomorrow. plenty of sunshine around. the odd shower creeping into the far north of scotland where it could be windy with gale force winds in places, but generally speaking, fine and dry in the south east with sunny spells. 12—15dc, and though showers will continue to head downwards, as we move onto the b game. —— to the weekend. this is bbc newsroom live. the latest headlines: the uk economy is losing billions of pounds a year because of poor mental health care in the workplace. theresa may says we need to take action. the need to take action. wife of a bombing a man who planned the wife of a bombing a man who planned terrorist attack in the city has been found guilty of helping its preparations by buying him the weapon he was going to use. a trust in essex insists it's not pursuing an airbnb—style pilot to rent

gangs. the catalan president is due to make a speech later where it is expected he will announce a snap election. hundred of thousands of mourners have lined the streets of bangkok to pay their final respects to the late thai king. more now on that review which has suggested that about 300,000 people with a long—term mental health condition leave theirjobs every year in england due to poor support. with each workplace having different needs, how can tackling the issue have a real impact on employees? colletta smith has been at a royal mail sorting office in warrington to find out how mental health has been tackled there. hi, i'm here at this royal mail sorting office to find out exactly what it means for businesses both big and small to try and implement some of those recommendations into today's report. it has a different impact, depending on the size of your workforce. i have two people here with real experience of dealing with mental health issues in their own lives. caroline, first of all, you work here at the royal mail and you did tell your bosses. how difficult was that to initially approach them? it is always difficult that first approach, because you're never sure how that person is going to react. some people have a very set view on what they feel mental health is all about. the "pull yourself together" attitude and mentality. which i can appreciate. if you don't understand it, it is an easy way to look at it. but i think, you've got to be open to talk about it and then make a view as to whether that person is understanding of you and whether that is the right person to talk to or do you need to find somebody else to talk to? when it comes to these big recommendations from government about a plan for every business, does that work, do you think, on an individual level? it is important it is recognised that there are issues and it is important that government recognises that businesses are struggling with mental health issues, but i don't think a general plan works for every business, because it depends on how big your business is. i'm lucky that i work in a big business where there is time to allow me out of the workplace for an hour or whatever and it doesn't affect the running of the business. in a smaller business, where every employee is needed to be in a particular place at a particular time, it is more difficult. businesses need to look at the way that they can tailor their mental health to suit the way that their workforce works, and to also be the best help for those employees at the end of the day. not every approach will work in every business for every employee. thank you, carolyn. andy has direct experience of being the boss of business, 70 people in your engineering consultancy. you have direct experience from your own personal life about mental health problems. indeed, we lost our younger son two years ago. he took his own life when he was at university. and that brought it into focus on how to apply things in our business to make things better. look at the stats, we have got 70 people, have they got problems that we don't know about, how do we find out and what can i do to make their lives better? what would you say to companies who say, i am just struggling to keep up with the day—to—day running of business, i can't deal with people's mental health as well. i don't think that's acceptable. you have to look the bigger picture. and look at time that is lost to people being either absent or not being effective at work, making errors and it is not fair to them. and also, working to deadlines. we have got to look at how we treat deadlines and where we put people under pressure, not have them constantly under pressure. thank you both forjoining us. lots to chew over in this report from companies both big and small as to how it actually impact people's lives, that idea of assessing people'smental health and helping them through difficulties and being honest with it. lets get more on this from madeleine mcgivern, of workplace wellbeing programmes at the charity, mind. welcome to you, thank you for talking to us today. it seems to me that more conversations are happening now than ever before about mental health issues. i suppose it is one thing to say that, another for workplaces to have, i guess, formal structures in place to support people. to what extent is that beginning to happen? there are definitely more conversations than ever before happening about mental health and that is true in the workplace. we are starting to see employers of different shapes and sizes implementing formal structures to support the mental health of their workforce, as well as creating cultures and organisations where people feel able to have those conversations about mental health more openly without fear of reprisal, knowing that they will get the support they need to stay in work and succeed at work. what the government has announced today, call on the civil service, calling on the nhs, to put more structures in place, i suppose, nhs, to put more structures in place, isuppose, to nhs, to put more structures in place, i suppose, to support with this, there is no new money, but do you think that idea of starting the conversation is going to help? absolutely. it is about working at what we currently do across all businesses and employers and thinking, how does the mental health of our workforce interact with that? mental health at work is part of everyday business at work. putting these structures in place and creating this cultures and having this conversation is, regardless of whether there is extra money is going to make a difference to the way people'smental health at work are supported. and it will make a difference to the productivity of the organisation, as well. whether you're looking at it from the economic point of view from a person centred point of view, it is good for both the employer and the employee, isn't it? absolutely. the crux of the review, and everything that mind says to employers and employees, is that this is the right thing to do. it is good for business and it is good for people and ultimately, that is winning combination. and at mind, do you offer support and advice to businesses, be a small large, about how they can put programmes in place to support workers? b have a range of different training consultancies and workplace well—being of others including the workplace well—being index which allows organisations to look at how they are doing in relation to workplace mental health, survey its staff, see whether it is doing things right or whether there is room for improvement, and we encourage them to sign up to an employee a pledge which is about having those conversations and creating an open culture in the workplace. if an employer or employee is watching this and wants to go on to talk about it, and the workplace, what is the biggest thing ifan workplace, what is the biggest thing if an employer wants to start making a change, that they can do? making sure that your line managers are people who oversee and are responsible for people, that they are well trained, confident and having a conversation about mental health. that is important but they will only be able to do that if senior leadership across employers say that this is ok to talk about and put it on the agenda, so making sure that you have got senior leadership leading from the top, line managers that are well trained promoting an organisational culture that enables those conversations. those things together will help better support people in the workplace, tackle the causes of any workplace, tackle the causes of any workplace related mental ill—health, and will promote the workplace well—being of all workforce. and will promote the workplace well-being of all workforce. thank you forjoining us. more than 3,000 documents relating to the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy will be released by the us national archives today. the president was shot while travelling in an open top car in dallas in 1963. jane 0'brien reports from washington. time has not dimmed america's fascination with the kennedys, a fairy tale family cursed by fate. newsreel: president kennedy has been assassinated. it's official now. the president is dead. more than half a century after his assassination in dallas, many americans still believe that jfk's killer, lee harvey oswald, was not acting alone. donald trump had his own conspiracy theory once, that the father of his campaign rival, senator ted cruz, was somehow involved. what was he doing with lee harvey 0swald shortly before the death, before the shooting? it's horrible. donald trump alleges that my dad was involved in assassinating jfk. now, let's be clear. this is nuts. mr trump has come under pressure from congress to allow the latest batch of documents to be released. some relate to 0swald's mysterious trip to mexico where he met cuban and soviet spies. the 1992 law which ordered some fbi case files to be kept secret was intended to quell growing speculation. even now parts of the evidence will be redacted. what might have been, had kennedy survived, is still the subject of a national debate that will never be settled. it is unlikely that these documents will end the equally passionate obsession with his death. an investigation by the official patient watchdog found 450,000 people had to go back for unplanned extra treatment. sophie hutchinson reports. every year, tens of thousands of patients are discharged from hospital only to be readmitted for unplanned further treatment within 30 days. they are known as emergency readmissions. there is concern that they are on the rise. the investigation by the official patient watchdog collected data from just under half of all acute hospital trusts in england. it showed that, between 2012—13, and 2016-17, showed that, between 2012—13, and 2016—17, emergency readmissions rose by more than 20%, more than 250000 and that readmissions within 24 hours of discharge increased by almost 30%. most trusts were unable to say why they had been an increase. the watchdog says that a high and growing proportion of people returning to hospitals are quickly raise concerns about whether pressure to free up hospital beds has had a part to play. beds that are tied up and cannot be used, people not getting treatment and having operations delayed or cancelled, it isn't everyone's interests that we explain this, with people either being sent home to quickly when not ready or sent home without the right care and support. healthwatch says it carried out this investigation because the nhs top publishing information about readmissions in 2013. today, nhs england said it would ensure that data was examined routinely now but stopped short of committing to publishing it. the headlines. the wife of a birmingham man who planned a terrorism attack in the city has been found guilty of assisting him by buying the weapon he was going to use. an nhs trust insists it will not said it plans to put recovering nhs patients in rented airbnb style rooms to relieve pressure on hospital beds. not without necessarily safeguarding arrangements in place. police and immigration officers arrested 11 people in one briton's biggest ever operations against people smuggling. rates have also taken place across europe to tackle the gang. —— raids have taken place. the uk's leading charity in foster care — the fostering network — has recently launched a project to recruit more muslim foster carers. they say that "thousands more foster families are needed each year, with a need for foster carers from all sectors of society including from the muslim community." ashley john—ba ptiste has been to meet some foster carers and care leavers with their own experiences of interracial and interfaith foster care. the government say interracial and interfaith fostering should be a last resort, but for some councils, it's a choice between that or leaving a child in a care home. over 72,000 children in the uk are in care. according to latest figures, over 53,000 of these are fostered. rebecca was fostered at the age of 12 by the arshads', a pakistani muslim couple in nottingham. having just turned 18, she is now a care leaver but continues to live with the family under an arrangement called "staying put". it's legislation that allows care leavers to stay with their parents if both parties agree to it. where there any cultural changes moving into this home? i'm not a spicy person so a lot of the food, they have to make it so mild. you can't like walk in front of someone if they're praying. i didn't know that when i first came in. have you ever wanted to see rebecca become a muslim? we've discussed it with her, how would she feel, but we've never imposed saying rebecca you should become a muslim because you're in our household. rebecca has got her own identity. when i first went to pakistan, i was talking to one of my friends on facebook and he was like "what are you doing?" and i wasjust like, "ah, i'm on holiday". and he was like, "where are you?" i said pakistan. and was like, "so where are you living?" with my family and he was like, "you're living with terrorists". i was like, "excuse me!" they haven't said to me directly, but they have said it behind my back. "i bet her parents have got explosives or bombs or whatever in their home", i'm just like, "i live there". the government doesn't have figures on how many interracial placements exist. we do know however that last year saw a rise in the number of children in care from ethnic minority backgrounds, and whilst it's estimated that 3,000 muslim children are put into foster care every year, only a quarter of long—term foster carers are from an ethnic minority. jerome is a 26—year—old care leaver. he was put in care at the age of four and recalls the strong cultural barriers in his first foster home. the first family i lived with were an indian family and they were muslim as well, and it was just a massive culture shock because my mum was white and they were asian and it was like, "0k, what's going on here" in a sense. we didn't like the food because we didn't recognise it. 0ur mum used to cook corned beef and rice and english breakfast and that disappeared. to be fair, they lost us. your carer's job is to find you, but they actually lost us as kids. the fostering network, a leading charity in foster care, says that thousands more carers are needed each year from all sectors of society. they recognise the need for more muslim foster parents. they have recently launched a project to recruit more of them. powered by both a jet engine and a rocket, the bloodhound racing car has been described as the most complicated motor ever built. its british—led team hopes it will go much faster than the current land—speed record of 763 miles per hour. 0ur science correspondent, rebecca morelle, is at newquay airport. excitement is building here because behind me is the bloodhound supersonic car, which could be the fastest car on the world. today it is going to reach speeds of 200 mph, which is pretty fast, but it has been designed to reach speeds of 1000 mph. patel is more about it i'm joined by stuart edmonson, who is an lead engineer on this project. it has got to get from 0— 200 and just eight seconds, very soon. why are you doing this? this is part of a journey. the car has been designed and tested. we have tested the whole car with a jet and tested. we have tested the whole carwithajet engine. and tested. we have tested the whole car with a jet engine. it is still about the integration of the car with a jet about the integration of the car withajet engine. about the integration of the car with a jet engine. we have got the opportunity in the uk with a long one way to run the car up to 200 mph. that gives us a huge amount of data, to finalise how we go forward and get ready for the high—speed test next year. with the high-speed ru ns test next year. with the high-speed runs you will get up to 600,800 miles an hour, then maybe 1000 mph in 2019. what do you need to do to this car to get it ready for that particular change? the first stage of the jet particular change? the first stage of thejet engine. particular change? the first stage of the jet engine. that is what we're doing here in newquay. the second stage is the integration of the rocket which gives the additional thrust to take it on to record—breaking speeds. part of the journey, the jet engine, then into next year, high speeds, then the integration of the rocket, then onto 1000 mph. this is space technology. it must be quite a dangerous procedure. it is important to make sure that air does not travel underneath this car to lift it up off the ground. how dangerous is it? it can be dangerous. we have done this before. the design has the current land speed record and a designer from that has put everything he has learnt into bloodhound, which is far more advanced, and lessons have been learned. so the design, and testing, from that, we can move forward confidently. stewart, thank you very much for that. the trial is going to be starting very soon. as you heard, the actual land speed record was broken by the same team, almost exactly 20 years ago. with this one, 1000 mph, it is going to be bursting through the sound barrier. the tech knowledge of this, most interestingly, nothing like this has ever been built before. no one has ever been built before. no one has ever got to 1000 mph and a car. no one knows if it can be done or whether you can go faster than that. todayis whether you can go faster than that. today is the first stage, getting to 200 mph in front of the crowds here, and that really is a milestone for the team. that test is due to take place in a few minutes. the winner of the royal institute of british architects most prestigious award — the stirling prize — will be announced next tuesday. in the running to become britain's best new building are a new college campus in glasgow, a london housing development and a rejuvenated seaside pier. today, we look at the british museum world conservation and exhibitions centre in london by rogers stirk harbour and partners. music the museum had a very complex protean master plan for the site. it was supplementing the front of house experience and offering particularly logistics and other things knocked overfrom being in the same compound as the work that's been available for 250 years. so what we did was spend a tremendous amount of time with the museum understanding their wants and needs to try and respond to this brief. essentially, we wanted to create a world conservation and exhibition centre for the whole of the museum campus. this is really a celebration of all the background work that maintains this collection. and studies it. it also creates a fantastic vehicle within which those and exchanges can exist. the building is a state—of—the—art facility for conservation and scientific research. it has helped to bring all of those staff together, to work together, and it has also helped us to design new laboratory facilities that help to preserve the collection, to better understand the collection and to communicate that to the wider public. i think what's unique about this building is that it's a strikingly modern building in a very sensitive conservation environment. for me personally, spending seven years at the british museum, full time, by the end of the process, ifelt like i work like i work here, rather than at rogers stirk harbour and partners. and you can see all the nominated buildings on the bbc arts website and find out who is the winner of the riba stirling prize for architecture live on the news channel next tuesday between 8.30 and 9pm. ina in a moment, the news at one. but first, the weather forecast with ben rich. good afternoon.
