And carol has the weather. Good morning. Some lovely pictures from last night of the aurora borealis.

For the rest of in london and wales, a bit of cloud around and some of us are seeing some rain but i will tell you where in 15 minutes. Thanks, carol. Good morning. First, our main story. More than 300,000 people are leaving the workforce every year because of insufficient support for Mental Health problems. A report commissioned by the government says the human cost of this is huge and that the loss to the economy runs into tens of billions of pounds. 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. Todays report recommends more places should be like this. Aviva in sheffield says its 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 werent sure if id 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 £a2 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. Colletta is at a Royal Mail Sorting Office in warrington for us this morning looking at how businesses are reacting to this report. Good morning. It is very interesting to see how big businesses have the facilities and people to look after theseissues facilities and people to look after these issues compared to smaller ones . Yes. Good morning, everyone. Imac this while Mail Sorting Office in warrington, a relatively new building, lots of staff, a bit of a shift to change the moment. Lots of staff coming in for their morning shift. Lots of posters already been sent off this morning in these boxes and, interesting to see the real difference between Big Companies like this one and smaller businesses who often find it more difficult to deal with issues of Mental Health among their staff, said here at the royal mail, they have a couple of different options in different centres across the uk to try to help staff deal with Health Issues and support them through it because, as you were hearing, half of the cost of Mental Health to our economy is borne by companies themselves with people taking days off and not being as productive as they could be at work. As well, of course, Companies Just wanting to help their staff through altruism, so i will be hearing more throughout the morning from both big and Small Companies, find out exactly how they are going to impairment the ideas.

Nhs england settles a long way from being implemented. 0ur reporter ben ando joins us now from our london newsroom. As solutions go, this seems pretty radical . Yes, good morning. This is about bed blocking because the nhs has a huge problem. Nhs england, thatis, has a huge problem. Nhs england, that is, with patients who dont really need to stay in hospital but arent quite well enough to go back to living alone at home. The nhs estimates last year for example it lost 2. 2 million bed days because of this, this idea has come from a e doctor in southend who says why not have local householders who are vetted and trained use spare rooms they might have in their homes with spare bathrooms to give these patients a private room, private bathroom, a guaranteed heated meal a day, for around £50 a night and this comes at a time when readmissions have gone up by a fifth in the last five years, something critics say could be down to hospital is trying to clear their beds to quickly. 0k. Certainly an interesting proposal. Thank you very much. A 14 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 32 year old man was shot dead near accrington in lancashire.

The president was shot while travelling in an open top car in dallas in 1963. Jane 0brien reports from washington. Time has not dimmed americas fascination with the kennedys, a fairy tale family cursed by fate. President kennedy has been assassinated. The president is dead. More than half a century after his assassination in dallas, Many Americans still believe thatjfks killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, was not acting alone. Donald trump at his own Conspiracy Theory once, but the father of his campaign rival, senator ted cruise was somehow involved. What was he doing Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death, before the shooting . Its horrible. Donald trump alleges that my dad was involved in assassinating jfk. Now, lets be clear. This is nuts. Mr trump has come under pressure from congress to allow the latest batch of documents to be released. Summer late to 0swalds mysterious trip to mexico where he met cuban mysterious trip to mexico where he met cu ban soviet mysterious trip to mexico where he met cuban soviet spies. The 1992 law which ordered some fbi files to be kept secret was intended to quell growing speculation but even now pa rt growing speculation but even now part 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 of the equally passionate obsession with his death. Jane 0brien, bbc news, washington. An influential committee of mps has called for the waiting time before claimants receive their first universal credit payment to be cut. They want it reduced from six weeks to a month. 0ur Political Correspondent eleanor garnierjoins us from westminster. Theres been so much talk about universal credit and this time lapse and the problems its causing. Where are we act now in this process . The government is under significant pressure over this flagship welfare policy. Universal credit rolls six benefits into one a full service designed to make the system simpler and make sure nobody is better off claiming benefits than they are in work and this work and pensions committee, a group of cross party mps, it says this six week wait is creating acute financial difficulties, leaving people in debt, and, in some cases, dependent on food banks. Labour has already said it once the roll out to be paused and the system revised and, significantly, some tory critics have been voicing their concern too. We know that, privately, ministers are potentially lit mid options but publicly, they continued to defend the system and a Government Spokesperson said that they dont wa nt spokesperson said that they dont want people who are entering the universal Credit System to face hardship and that is why they are bringing significant changes to the advanced Payment System for people who do need help.

This is essex nhs trust there, they have got this idea about if you have a spare room or why not rent it to someone who doesnt necessarily need to be in hospital, but carries on needing some form of care. So, well investigate that idea more during the programme. And fats domino died at 89. Very sad. The bias of britains universities was laid bare last night. A tory mp has been asking universities what they are teaching about the uks departure from the eu. Thats blew up. The picture is of harvey weinstein, reports now he could be stripped of his cbe. Front of the times, you can see there that room rental scheme is featured also on the front page of the daily mirror. Daily telegraph, excessive green tax forces up fuel bills. This is a government commissioned report saying and the picture on the front is victoria cilliers hose husband is on trial for tampering with her parachute. Holly, what have you got . Many of the back pages are leading with this story about spurs, the defeat to we st story about spurs, the defeat to west ham and the manager will keep hisjob for the next west ham and the manager will keep his job for the next couple west ham and the manager will keep hisjob for the next couple of weeks. This about sums it up, bilic back from brink. Weeks. This about sums it up, bilic back from brink. Its weeks. This about sums it up, bilic back from brink. Its brutal with football managers. You wouldnt want to bea football managers. You wouldnt want to be a football manager right now. There was a thing the other day about how long they last, and its such a short time. On average they we re two such a short time. On average they were two to three years. They move on tojobs quickly. Were two to three years. They move on to jobs quickly. Its were two to three years. They move on tojobs quickly. Its not were two to three years. They move on to jobs quickly. Its not as were two to three years. They move on tojobs quickly. Its not as if they go out into the. Thats right. The likes of Sam Allardyce who has been around for a little bit now and he has beenjobless for a while. You start to look at managers like that. Every time a newjob comes up, like that. Every time a newjob comes up, everton, people go back in the hat. So there will always be something for them. There is a story from twickenham. How do you feel about music being played at rugby matches . Do you mean other than the anthems . Other than the anthem. This is whenever tries are scored or. Celebratory moments. Huge moments. Music before the game, after the game, that sort of thing. They are saying theyre going to restrict the music now. So that twickenham will be restricted to tries scored by england following a comprehensive survey of fans. Theyve asked people and this is the conclusion they have come to. Do we know what the music is . Theyve listed it. It is a lot of rock classics crazy train, 0ne step beyond by madness, blur and neil diamonds sweet caroline. You see it in all sorts of sporting environments. In tennis they use it at the finals, dont they . Strictly in the finals. Tennis are strict. They are trying to gear up the atmosphere. In football, it is common. Atmosphere. In football, it is common. By way of contrast, look at this. Thats gorgeous. Its a carpet. If you look closely, you can see apples. This is a picture from ireland, county tipperary and they had heavy wind and theyjust took all the apples down and covered the. It takes the fun out of scrumping. They are like a carpet on the ground, but there are a few left in the trees. Thats a lot of cider i like the way youre thinking, holly. Holly, see you later on, thank you very much. One in six people of working age in england are currently dealing with Mental Health problems, costing the economy billions of pounds a year. A major review into Mental Health in the workplace has found 300,000 people with a long term Mental Health problem lose theirjobs each year. One of the authors of the report is lord stevenson who joins us now. Thank you very much for your time this morning lord stephenson. You wrote this report. What surprised you the most . The sheer quantity of the problem. 300,000 people, thats the problem. 300,000 people, thats the population i think of newcastle roughly, leaving the workforce every year with a long term Mental Health condition first. Second, the big surprise was how much its costing us. Surprise was how much its costing us. Im in this because i want to lessen human suffering. Its misery for the human beings who have long term or short term Mental Health conditions, but to have found that its costing the economyjust under 100 billion a year is astonishing and it just under 100 billion a year is astonishing and itjust adds up to a perfectly sensible case. We have got to invest in sorting out it and we have a motive. Yes, we want to make people happier, but we at a time when were preoccupied by productivity, its a way of improving our productivity. Youre a man who had a lot of experience with big business and yourself, you have been very frank about your own issues with Mental Health. How easy do you think it is, not necessarily for big business, but for smaller businesses, to deal with the problem of supporting employees who need it when resources are not as extensive . Thats a great question. Someone briefed you brilliantly because the real problem in my view is with Small Businesses. Have you ever heard of the no red card today campaign . Yes. For your viewers, Legal General, one of our biggest businesses is running a campaign throughout their 100,000 staff. I only know i was there, last thursday or friday they took over twickenham, they said if youre feeling lousy, feeling depressed, just as if you had a temperature or had arthritis and you put your hand up, you will be supported and your career wont be supported and your career wont be harmed. Thats great for Large Businesses and good for them and the majority of them need to get to it and do it. Its much more difficult for Small Businesses. But not that difficult. And anybody who is listening to this, and wants to save himself or herself money, and have a much happier workforce and a more productive workforce should read our report. There is very, very simple things that businesses can do. Do you want me to go into it . Briefly if you would. We have got a chap from transparency and leadership, standing up, will is Legal General doing what they are doing . Because the chief executive is passionate about it. So having an open atmosphere so people can talk about their illness is one. Two, getting across to the nation that we all have Mental Health. You think Mental Health was an illness, it isnt. We have all got Mental Health. You have got Mental Health and ive got Mental Health. Third, getting across the idea there are certain very simple things you can do to spot people who are under the weather, who are what we call struggling. And certain things you can do about it and above all, there are ways of measuring the Mental Health of an organisation. Some of them cost money, but not very much money, but anyone who wants to save money in their business and make their employers happier employees happier, please read our report. Employers happier employees happier, please read our reportm this going far enough in terms of protection for workers. You say if you put your hand up and say you are struggling, workers are not affected. They are. There is still a stigma and businesses dont have the time to offer one on one consultations or an hours chat, however useful it maybe because theyre struggling and trying to keep turning a profit or make ago living themselves . All of that is true. Almost true. Actually, i think we all as human beings have time to talk to a colleague who is suffering and down in the dumps and the answer to your question, does this go far enough . Well, there are issues of resources which we deal with in our report. There are issues in resources in the health service, well travelled resources. Now, we thought hard and long about whether there should be more regulation and more inssance. After all we have quite formal health and safety regulation and we made one or two suggestions, but we have not gone very far along the way. I think that and that of my co author, there is such an interest for all businesses including Small Businesses to do this, a Human Interest and a financial interest, lets see if over the next year or two, things can change as they have been changing, not all is gloom, but there are good examples. If in a year or twos time, more attention is not being given to Mental Health and if we are not aware of our Mental Health and other peoples, there is probably a need for tougher regulation. Lord staopeb son, thank you very much for your time. Pleasure. Details of organisations offering information and support with Mental Health are available on the bbc action line at bbc. Co. Uk actionline or you can call for free at any time to hear recorded information information on 08000 564 756. Some images from bangkok this morning. This is an extraordinary ceremony happening.

A london mp is calling for a ban on protestors from gathering outside abortion clinics across the country after a buffer zone was set up outside one clinic in her constituency. Last week Ealing Council voted to ban campaigns outside a Marie Stopes Centre, after complaints that patients and staff were being abused. Now, more than a hundred mps have signed an open letter to the home secretary asking her to take action. Women every day who want to have terminations have to face a gauntlet of protesters who are there literally to guilt trip them with their rosary beads chanting hymns and all sorts of things and more recently weve had counter protesters as well. Its getting a bit like america. These poor women are caught in the crossfire. Plans for a new £1. 6 Million Centre to support those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire have been outlined by Kensington And Chelsea council. At a meeting last night, the Council Leader Elizabeth Campbell said the centre would bring together access to nhs help for post Traumatic Stress disorder, Child Bereavement support and information on the public inquiry. 45 buildings in london have been added to a list of Historic Sites that were at risk of losing.

A review has found that about 300,0000 people leave theirjobs every year because of insufficient support for Mental Health problems. The report, commissioned by the government, says the human cost of Mental Illness is huge and the cost to the economy runs to billions of pounds. Employers generally have really got to grips with the idea of how to support the physical health of your staff, whether its with adaptations or particular approaches to the health of your staff, but we havent yet seen the same level of commitment towards the Mental Health of your staff so people are falling out of work because not getting the right support. It may be because not able to access the help they really needin able to access the help they really need in a timely way. Nhs patients recovering after an operation could be moved from a hospital bed to a strangers spare room, under radical plans being considered by health trusts in essex. Although talks are at an early stage, the Company Behind the plans has already started recruiting potential carers. Nhs england praised the idea, but said it was a long way from being implemented. The number of patients being readmitted to hospital for emergency treatment within a month of being sent home is risen by a fifth in the last five years in england. An investigation by health watch, the official patient watchdog, found 450,000 people had to go back for unplanned extra treatment. Critics say it could be a sign hospitals are being pushed to send people home too soon. Sophie hutchinson has more. 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 readmission is. There is concern they are on the rise. The investigation i health watch the efficient patient watchdog, collected data from just under half of all acute hospital trusts in england. It showed between 2012 16 emergency readmission is grows by more than 20 . To more than 450,000. And readmissions within 24 hours of discharge increased by almost 30 . Most trusts were not able to say why there had been an increase. The watchdog says a high and growing proportion of people returning to hospital so quickly raises concerns about whether pressure to free up hospital beds has had a part to play. Beds that are tied up that can be used leaves other people not getting treatment and having operations delayed or cancelled, its really important that dealt with full submit in everyones interest. It cant be at the expense of people either being sent home to quickly all sent home without the right care and support. Health watch says it carried out its investigation because the nhs stopped publishing information about readmissions in 2013 full saturday nhs england said it would ensure data was examined routinely now but stop short of committing to publishing it. Sophie hutchinson, bbc news. A 14 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 32 year old man was shot dead near accrington in lancashire.

It is a small one. The countrys first driverless passenger bus was launched in bavaria yesterday. It will offer free rides on an eight minute route linking the baths, the town centre and the station.

May be that one was legitimately without a driver. How do you slide it down . Exactly. Who knows . I could not see any tracks also i remember when i was young getting the school bus and occasionally it driving past me a nyway occasionally it driving past me anyway so maybe it makes absolutely no difference. Addicott in a drama for us . Theres always a bit of drama. In the league cup last night, i was watching up to half time and thought, this is a done deal the totte n ha m thought, this is a done deal the tottenham hotspur, 2 0 at half time. I went to make a cup of tea, got ready for bed, came back, first of all it was level by the time i got back, 2 2 and then they scored again in. West ham made it 3 2, so that was very quick. A very long, stewed cup of tea. Thankfully im not a spurs fan, so i dont think i would have been too happy otherwise. It was just a shocking result, though. Also today, the womens ashes. That is happening this morning. We always love getting some live action so we will keep a close eye on that today. Its a very important game. Still too early to say its a must win game, but defeat for england in the Second One Day International will leave them with just a huge amount of work to to regain the trophy. It was a tough start for england but spinner Sophie Ecclestone picked up the prized wicket of alyssa healy as the australian openers made nearly 100 for the first wicket. A short time ago, australia worth 1511 a short time ago, australia worth 151 1 after 31 overs had been bowled. It was a huge night for west ham in the league cup last night as they overturned a two goal lead to beat tottenham at wembley. Spurs were looking very comfortable when dele alli scored their second before half time, heaping more pressure on hammers boss slaven bilic. But, two goals from andre ayew and this from angelo 0gbonna turned things around to put west ham through to the quarter finals. Elsewhere, David Unsworths first game in charge of everton ended in a 2 1 defeat at chelsea. Claude puel is the perfect fit for Leicester City, according to the clubs vice chairman. Puel was sacked by southampton at the end of last season, despite finishing eighth in the league. He becomes leicesters third manager this year, replacing Craig Shakespeare who succeeded premier League Title Winner Claudio Raneiri in february. Celtic stamped their dominance on the scottish premiership with a 3 0 win over nearest rivals aberdeen at pittodrie. Lewis tierney gave Brendan Rodgers side an early lead with this fierce finish. Moussa dembele then scored twice, this his second from close range, as celtic went three points clear at the top and stretched their unbeaten run to 61 domestic matches. Now, the future of english football looks to be in good health. After victory in the under 20s world cup and the under 19s european championship, now the under 17s side have reached the final of their world cup in india. Once again the liverpool youngster Rhian Brewster was the hero of the day, scoring his second hat trick in successive games to beat brazil in the semi final, setting up a final with spain. Im feeling great. 0ver im feeling great. Over the moon to score two hat tricks in two games. 0bviously score two hat tricks in two games. Obviously a great performance from the lads. We dug deep. Brazil are a very good team. We knew that before we came in so we just stuck to the plan and hopefully onto the final and hopefully win. And do our best to win the game thought that is all were going to do. Rugby union and england captain Dylan Hartley will be available for next months autumn internationals. Hartley was facing a possible ban which could have ruled him out of matches against argentina, australia and samoa at twickenham.

In a little over 24 hours time, the Rugby League World cup gets under way in australia. England have the daunting task of taking on the hosts and reigning champions in the opening game in melbourne. Yeah, really excited.

Two amateur golfers have defied astronomical odds by hitting consecutive holes in one while playing a round in berkshire. This is just incredible. Jayne mattey and clair shine had never previously played together, but last saturday both went from tee to pin in one shot on the 13th hole. According to the National Hole in one registry the odds of two players acing the same hole, on the same day and on the same round are 17 million to one. Com pletely completely amazed i got a hole in one before it dawned on us wed actually both done it and that must be pretty rare. It was so exciting. We did high fives and a little dance, i cant remember, because it was so dance, i cant remember, because it was so lovely. I love the idea of a little dance afterwards. 0ne was so lovely. I love the idea of a little dance afterwards. One in 70 million, was it . Yes. You would be dancing. I had a hole in one very soon after i started playing, but there is a lot of luck involved in it but im sure they hit some great shots. People get a very sensitive about it. Digit hit a good shot . You just decided thats what youre going to do. Of course you do. Every time you hit a shot, you were trying to get it into the whole. They sound like a detective duo. They do, yes. Very good. Thank you very much full stop we will see later on. The bloodhound racing car has been described as the most complicated motor ever built. The british led tea m motor ever built. The british led team hoping it will go much faster than the current land speed record of 763 miles an hour, robert hall reports. It is a journey that began on october day nine years ago, a journey that has reached one of its most important milestones, outside a concrete cold war hang out, the Bloodhound Team tested the jet engine that will eventually power this card to speeds never seen before. Versus complex technology, a 7. 5 tonne vehicle which will generate six times more power than an entire formula 1 grid and cover one mile in 3. 6 seconds. A car which sprang from the genius of ron ayers, now 85, who had already worked on two successful land speed record attempts. Nobody has been anywhere like this before. If we broke 1000 miles an hour, that would be 31 faster than last time which is massive. In bloodhounds cockpit today, the fight up pilot already holds the land speed record. Travelling at 200 miles an hour down the1. 5 mile travelling at 200 miles an hour down the 1. 5 mile runway, he will have no room for error. I will select 130 miles an hour for the car will accelerate up to 200 miles an hour as the engine starts to wind down and hes put the brakes on so it will accelerate to 170, the brakes will accelerate to 170, the brakes will heat up so as we get to 200, i meeting between 40 50 mile an hour break pressure. They are starting to bite and starting to slow the car down. There are other convocations for them this is a working airport and the two high speed runs must ta ke and the two high speed runs must take place in between scheduled arrivals and departures. We thrive on the kind of ideas of spinning lots of plates and solving problems and kind of being under pressure whilst operating efficiently and calmly. That is how this has worked. The giant all british car roars away. The quest for land speed record stretches back across the decades. Today takes another car designer one step closer to his vision. Im proud that we have got this far, but to be honest, i will start getting proud when it starts breaking records and what i really wa nt to breaking records and what i really want to do is make supersonic signs which will reverberate around the world. If all goes well, bloodhound will head overseas to begin trials had even higher speeds before her record attempt on the sandy plains of south africa. We will be live there for them and extraordinary machine, isnt it . We will see what its like close up. Can you envisage how fast 763 miles an hour is . It is just a blur. Time now for a look at the weather. If you have been enjoying the higher temperatures, over the next few days, it is going to turn colder. By sunday we are looking at temperatures closer to where they should be. But what weve got today is a fairly quiet day. Weve got a weather front across the central part of the uk introducing rain. We have got showers across the north and the west of scotland. The rest of scotla nd west of scotland. The rest of scotland off to a largely dry start and fairly bright as well. Fairly bright too across Northern Ireland and Northern England. Then we run into a weather front producing cloud and drizzle. Across the irish sea through parts of north west england and wales. South of that, there is fog around this morning. So if youre travelling take care. It will be slow to clear. It will take the next few hours before we see the back edge of it. Through the course of the day, the wind continues, a blustery day with the showers across scotland. Sunshine here. Sunny spells across Northern England and also Northern Ireland. But here weve got our band of rain. It could be persistent and maybe the odd heavy burst around lincolnshire and the cloud further south is starting to break up a touch. But temperatures in the south still in good shape. We are looking at a high of 17 celsius in london. Now through this evening and overnight, a weather front sinks south, taking cloud with it. We will see mist and fog patches forming across Northern Ireland and around the Greater Manchester area too, perhaps over towards the midlands and it will be a chilly night in the countryside in the north. Perhaps cold enough for a touch of grass frost. High pressure builds in tomorrow. Again we are looking at settled weather, but a weather front sinking south on saturday will bring rain and showers down the east coast and look how the wind changes direction to more of a north westerly. 0n wind changes direction to more of a north westerly. On friday, we see the back of that weather front pushing away into the Channel Islands. Showers for you. A lot of settled conditions. Still windy across the far north of the country. Later in the evening, we could have severe gales across the Northern Isles. Saturday, there will be a bit more cloud around on saturday. Remember weve got that weather front in the north of the country where it will be windy. So well see some rain here. And down the east coast, we will see some showers. Temperatures starting to slip down a little bit more. And then as we move from saturday into sunday, the High Pressure m oves from saturday into sunday, the High Pressure moves away and the wind comes straight down from the north. Thats a cold direction for us. So it will be feel much colder. Although for many of us, stl stay dry. So a cold, noticeable wind coming down the east coast. Inland highs of 11 to 14 celsius. We are looking at nines in the north and with the wind, well, it will exacerbate the cold feel. Charlie and naga. See you later on. Social media is replacing the Street Corner as a place where Young Offenders incite and plot crimes, according to a report by the chief inspector of probation. Dame Glenys Stacey says youth offending teams should be given more help to understand, and potentially monitor, the social media activity of young people who pose a risk to others. She joins us now from our birmingham studio. Thank you for your time this morning. I wonder if you can explain what evidence youre seeing of this kind of activity . So, we looked at 115 cases. These were 16 and 17 year olds who had committed serious or violent crime. And we found that crime is changing. So, rather than just meeting on Street Corners and perhaps looking at a car that they might have been sitting in the past, now a lot of crime is being plotted at home, alone in bedrooms, using all sorts of different social media, not the facebook or common medias that we all know, but really much more private things and what youre finding then is that perhaps an argument on social media can escalate when these people meet in the street and then youll have a serious assault. Yes, to what extent, youre using the word scwt plotted to what extent is there is a separation between banter and the stuff that goes on social media that, you might separate out from something which is a plot to carry out a crime . So, we found a range of things. Sometimes simple exchanges could escalate into violence when people met particularly if there is a knife involved. Secondly, people we re a knife involved. Secondly, people were using social media to plan crime. Thirdly, sometimes people we re crime. Thirdly, sometimes people were using social media to commit crimes. So for example, blackmailing people who put unfortunate images of themselves on that media. So given you have seen this and you have seen the evidence, what can be done . So, weve made a number of recommendations. Certainly, we did find some very skilled youth justice workers working carefully with these young people. Ishould workers working carefully with these young people. I should say that a good number of them had had extremely traumatic lives. 0ften exposed to all sorts of things in their childhood that most of us would find extremely difficult. So, certainly those youth justice workers are doing a good job, but doing it intuitively. They need more help and guidance in what works for this difficult group of people, but they need guidance and support to know what they can do to monitor these young peoples use of social media. 0ur these young peoples use of social media. Our lawyers tell us thats that is possible as long as the month tory partying is promorgues nat and it would help those workers doa nat and it would help those workers do a good job with those young people if they knew what they were up. You raise an issue about privacy and what right does the probation officer have to look at someones social media accounts . So, were talking about youth justice workers here who are overseeing 16 and 17 yoerlds. 0ur here who are overseeing 16 and 17 yoerlds. Our lawyers tell us that social media from those young people can be monitored as long as its proportionate. But the point here is that local youth Justice Boards need to work now with the central youth Justice Board to get proper guidance out to agree a position on monitoring and get it out to these youth justice workers. Thank you very much for your time this morning. Thats the chief inspector of probation speaking to us from birmingham. Were talking about Mental Health in the workplace this morning as a major reports found its costing the economy billions of pounds a year. Coletta is in warrington for us this morning. You are at the royal mail. 0ne you are at the royal mail. One of theissues you are at the royal mail. One of the issues we are looking at is how smaller businesses can help employees . Good morning naga. Good morning, everyone. Im the Royal Mail Sorting Office. It is a huge company and they are trying Something Different. But the recommendation that the government have put out apply to all businesses and really its about making a plan in your workplace, making sure that individuals are aware in the workplace that they can be open about their Mental Health, that they can talk about it, that their bosses are going to be open to it and to talk about that, im joined by caroline this morning. Hi caroline. Hi. And you have personal experience of this from working here at the royal mail, through the years, youve experienced ups and downs, it is fairto youve experienced ups and downs, it is fair to say . I have been away, struggling with depression on and off for over 17 years. I had my depression when i first started with royal mail. At first it was difficult to talk about it, because i wasnt sure how it would be perceived, but i have had some very good support in general from managers along the way and especially since weve come here to warrington seven years ago, ive been very lucky to have some brilliant support from both immediate managers and managers higherup in the immediate managers and managers higher up in the company. Immediate managers and managers higher up in the companylj immediate managers and managers higher up in the company. I suppose for a lot of people, the biggest fear is how do you take the first step of talking to your boss, talking to your line manager and saying, im struggling. It is difficult. I have been quite open about my struggles with my family, which made talking to my employer a bit easier because i was already open to talking about my Mental Health. It was difficult the first time. It is a big step. It is nerve wracking to talk about something that a lot of people dont understand, but i was luck that, you know, they have an environment that means you do feel safe and secure to talk about these things and you know, its not going to affect the way they see you as a worker and on the shop floor. Thank you for talking to us, car leuvenlt we will be hearing more from caroline throughout the morning. Im joined by from caroline throughout the morning. Imjoined by sean from caroline throughout the morning. Im joined by sean who is in charge of Mental Health across the royal mail. Youre trying Something Different. Why as a business do you want to do that and isnt it expensive . In an organisation like royal mail that really does value our people, its really does value our people, its really important we look after their physical and their Mental Health. Yet there is a cost associated with that, but it is a cost that we see well worth spending. We rely heavily on our people and so protecting their health, safety and well being is of the most importance to us. How does that square with the fact that at moment you have had a majority of workers vote in favour of a strike, youre juggling workers vote in favour of a strike, yourejuggling that, working through that with mediation, a lot thatis through that with mediation, a lot that is over pay and conditions . We have appointed mediators, but the really interesting and exciting thing about Mental Health is, there is no plit siding of it, regardless of what is happening, we work closely with our unions on this and were committed to improving the Mental Health and well being of our people. So, the industrial climate is one thing, but were really focussing heavily on the safety, health and Mental Health of our people. Thank you very much, sean. Throughout the morning there will be more as you say, naga on companies this size and about how Smaller Companies can do something similar and help their workforce too. Thank you very much. We will see you later. Lets get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news, im sonja jessup. A london mp is calling for a ban on protestors from gathering outside abortion clinics across the country after a buffer zone was set up outside one clinic in her constituency. Ealing Council Voted for a ban at a local marie stopes clinic after complaints patients and staff were being harassed claims which protestors deny. More than a hundred mps have signed an open letter to the home secretary asking her to take action. Women every day who want to have terminations have to face a gauntlet of protesters who are there literally to guilt trip them with their rosary beads chanting hymns and all sorts of things and more recently weve had counter protesters as well. Its getting a bit like america. These poor women are caught in the crossfire. Plans for a new £1. 6 Million Centre to support those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire have been outlined by Kensington And Chelsea council. At a meeting last night, the Council Leader Elizabeth Campbell said the centre would bring together access to nhs help for post Traumatic Stress disorder, Child Bereavement support and information on the public inquiry. 45 buildings in london have been added to a list of Historic Sites that were at risk of losing. Among those considered in need of rescue by Historic England are the church of st george the martyr in bermondsey, immortalised by Charles Dickens in his novel little dorrit. And the worlds oldest gasholder in londons fulham gaswork. Travel now on the tube, theres been a signal failure which means there are minor delays on the circle line and severe delays on the diutrict line from earls court to tower hill heres how it looks at the blackwall tunnel. Northbound traffic is slow as usual from blackwall lane and on the north circular there are southbound delays at the hanger lane gyratory system after an accident, its busy back to the harrow road underpass. Lets take a look at the weather now. Good morning. Its starting to become a bit cooler as we move towards the weekend. Today a largely cloudy day with outbreaks of rain and drizzle at times. This morning we have a few patches of mist and fog to look out for, particularly if youre on the road. So a grey start to the day this morning. Those patches of mist and fog gradually lifting as we move through the morning. The cloud could be thick enough to produce outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. The best of any brighter intervals the further south you are with highs of 17s and a light westerly wind. Through this evening and overnight, we will start to see the cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle and a few patches of mist and fog sinking southwards. So the skies clearing which will allow the temperatures to fall away. A chillier night to come with overnight lows of between ten to 12 celsius. A fresher start, but a bright one. We will see good spells of sunshine. Staying dry and bright, but feeling fresher. A high of 15 celsius. That takes us into the weekend. High pressure is largely dominant. You can see the isobars squeezing together and spinning round to more of a northerly. So it will be quite breezy and feeling fresher as we move through this weekend. On saturday, fairly cloudy day with outbreaks of rain possible. Breezy as well and on sunday, more of a northerly wind. So a noticeably fresher feel to our weather and highs of 14 celsius. Thats all for now. Theres plenty more on our website at the usual address. Hello. This is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. The cost of Mental Illness in the workplace. A lack of support sees 300,000 people leave theirjobs every year. A new report calls on businesses to look after their workers better.

Across scotland, Northern Ireland and the far north of Northern England we will have a bright day with sunny spells and a few showers in the far north. For the rest of england and wales, cloudy start, patchy fog, and we have some rain across central areas. Will that move . I will tell you in 15 minutes. I look forward to it. See you then. Good morning. First, our main story. More than 300,000 people are leaving the workforce every year because of insufficient support for Mental Health problems. A report commissioned by the government says the human cost of this is huge and that the loss to the economy runs into tens of billions of pounds. 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. Todays report recommends more places should be like this. Aviva in sheffield says its 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 werent sure if id 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. Colletta is at a Royal Mail Sorting Office in warrington for us this morning looking at how businesses are reacting to this report. Good morning. You are speaking to people who have had support that they needed . Exactly, imac this Royal Mail Sorting Office here in warrington. Staff are busy here as you can imagine taking the letters to our doorsteps. There are big recommendations from the government that are quite difficult to implement in a lot of places thickly if companies are smaller than ones like the royal mail, so its about making a plan for your company and making a plan for your company and making sure the Senior Management of thought through Mental Health difficulties for the workforce. Its about making sure the workers know they can be open and honest about whats happening, so that line of communication is really important. Im surea communication is really important. Im sure a of people watching at home will be thinking, actually, in my workplace, that works difficultly. Differently. Thats what this report is trying to change, to challenge businesses, big and small, to make sure their workers know they can be honest about whats happening in their Mental Health is well as their physical Health Without that threatening theirjobs and i will be finding out more throughout the morning how that works in practice. 0k, we will see you later. Nhs patients recovering after an operation could be moved from a hospital bed to a strangers spare room under radical plans being considered by health trusts in essex. Talks are at an early stage but the Company Behind the idea has already started recruiting potential carers. Nhs england settles a long way from being implemented. 0ur reporter ben ando joins us now from our london newsroom. Just explain how the scheme might work. What is the idea was to mike good morning, charlie. Weve all heard of bed blocking and we know the nhs has a problem with people it cant discharge but at the same time dont really need to stay in hospital. This idea is a potentially simple way of doing something to address that. The suggestion is people who live near hospitals, householders, could have a room set aside, provided without private bathroom, three meals a day for people who would go and stay with them and they would be paid £50 a night. The Company Behind this idea says everybody would be carefully vetted and would be trained and given support. Nhs england has given the idea a lukewarm welcome says this would have to be carefully assessed and tested. And this also comes on the day report shows hospital emergency readmissions have gone up by one fifth in five years, suggesting the pressure on hospitals to release beds is leading them to put people, discharge people too soon. For the moment, thank you very much. A 14 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 32 year old man was shot dead near accrington in lancashire. Police were called to an address in the village of 0zald twistle. Officers say they believe it was an isolated incident. More than 3,000 documents relating to the assassination of president John F Kennedy will be released by the Us National Archives later today. The final batch files are present as 1 of the investigation. The rest has already been released. The president was shot while travelling in an open top car in dallas in 1963. Jane 0brien reports from washington. Time has not dimmed americas fascination with the kennedys, a fairy tale family cursed by fate. Newsreel president kennedy has been assassinated. Its official now. The president is dead. More than half a century after his assassination in dallas, Many Americans still believe that jfks 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 cruise was somehow involved. What was he doing with lee harvey 0swald shortly before the death, before the shooting . Its horrible. Donald trump alleges that my dad was involved in assassinating jfk. Now, lets be clear. This is nuts. Mr trump has come under pressure from congress to allow the latest batch of documents to be released. Mr trump has come under pressure from congress to allow the latest batch of documents to be released. Some relate to 0swalds 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, mr trump has come under pressure from congress to allow the latest batch of documents to be released. 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. Jane 0brien, bbc news, washington. An influential committee of mps has called for the waiting time before claimants receive their first universal credit payment to be cut. They want it reduced from six weeks to a month. 0ur Political Correspondent eleanor garnierjoins us from westminster. Understandably, people waiting six weeks are going to be strapped for cash. In terms of making ends meet literally. The government is under significant pressure over this flagship welfare policy. Universal credit rolls and six benefits into one, and is meant to make the system simpler and meant to make sure no one is better off claiming benefits than they would be in work. This is a report from the work and pensions committee, a group of cross party mps, and it says that a six week wait is causing acute financial difficulty, leaving people in debt and, in some cases, dependent on food banks. Labour has already said the universal credit will actually be paused so the system can be revised and there are some tory mps voicing concerns too. Its understood, privately, ministers are looking at the options but publicly, though, they have been defending the scheme and a government spokesman said they were determined that people moving onto universal credit did not face hardship and that was why they have made significant changes to the advanced Payment Scheme which is therefore people who need help. Thanks very much. Hundreds of thousands of mourners have gathered in bangkok for the funeral of thailands King Bhumibol adulyadej. Preparations for the five day ceremony have taken almost a year. You can see some of the live images and the scale of the event coming to us this morning. 0ur correspondentjonathan head is there for us. We are seeing some of those images now. This has been going on for i think its now. This has been going on for i think its two days already. Just talk through what will be happening. Todayis talk through what will be happening. Today is the main day, officially five days of this cremation but the king ats body which has been lying in state in a royal palace for one year, is being moved in an intricately choreographed a traditional ceremony very slowly to a cremation site that has been specially built at total cost of around £60 million they build this elaborate 50 metre high golden pavilion which is where he will be cremated tonight. Its all very formal. 0utside, we are a few hundred yards from the site but we cant see it well here, people cant get into the inner sanctum. People have waited here for days to come and pay their last respects to the king. They would go to replica shrines where they will lay sandalwood fires which will be burnt at the same time his body will be cremated at 10pm local time. Weve had gun salutes going off every minute. They are saying goodbye to a king they believe is credited with a modern development and stability of their country who had a personal touch who devoted himself to personal development and will almost now has godlike status. This is a ceremony bound up with personal feelings, a big National Historic moment, because he defined modern times and hes bound up a mystical almost religious monarchy and that image of the monarchy has been emphasised strongly through this elaborate ritual. Just looking at some of those people behind you, many generations represented there. Can you give us a sense of the mood amongst people who turned out to be there . It is respectful, very quiet at the moment. It will certainly become more emotional as a moment of the cremation approaches. This is a long goodbye. Its a family like moment. People have been here a long time, sharing space, sharing food, it has been hard in the tropical sun that people feel a duty this is the moment they must come and say goodbye to a man who they felt a personal affection for. Jonathan, thank you very much. We have been shown you those live images from bangkok. We will revisit them as the events continue this morning. Would you turn your spare room into a sickbed to a stranger . An nhs trust and ethics is considering a scheme which does that, involving paying £50 a night of people who do offer their spare rooms. The idea comes as a report published today suggests the number of patients discharged from hospital, who are re admitted within 30 days, has risen by a fifth in england. Nigel edwards is chief executive of the Health Charity the nuffield trust. He joins us now from our london newsroom. Thank you very much for your time this morning, nigel. So, this idea of bed and brea kfast accommodation for patients who hospitals think could be discharged, dont have to be occupying a hospital bed. What do you make of it . Its an interesting idea for the better longer term scheme called shared lives which works well where people do adult fostering but thats for a long period of time because theres quite a big investment required to make sure you have the right people and the right environment. To be honest, the right environment. To be honest, the overall impact schemes like this could have will be relatively small evenif could have will be relatively small even if they can get past the quite significant regulatory and legal hurdles i suspect they will face. Take a slew what some of those might be because common sense dictates there will be issues around whether there will be issues around whether the location itself or the people involved are appropriate for the needs of the person who was with them. Yes, theres quite a large Legal Framework particular about safeguarding Vulnerable People that will need to be complied with. Actually, quite a lot of logistical issues about just making actually, quite a lot of logistical issues aboutjust making this work. I dont see anything against it in principle. Just set against the context of the bigger problem is that the nhs and social care is facing at the moment, its likely to be an interesting idea that, if they can get into work, certainly help, but there are bigger things at play at the moment to be honest. When you say bigger things at play, this is to do with a general pressure on hospital beds . Yes, we have seen this report today talking about an increase in readmission to hospital s. Summer that is due to changes in clinical practice where more patients are treated on a day basis, and the consequence of that is some more will come back. More people are avoiding going hospital which, on balance, is a good thing. The readmissions also reflect the growing pressure pressure on social ca re systems, growing pressure pressure on social care systems, shortages of staff in Community Services and this relentless pressure the hospitals have been under false relentless pressure the hospitals have been underfalse its not relentless pressure the hospitals have been under false its not a simple story of hospitals not doing theirjob very well simple story of hospitals not doing their job very well and simple story of hospitals not doing theirjob very well and patients coming back a consequence and some of this is just due to the way the population is changing, there are more people with a types of diseases which, while you may sort out the initial reason they have come to hospital, they are likely to come back because of the nature of their condition which is often a long term and deteriorating one. Isi is i suppose it comes full circle, because given the situation you describe there, you think how do you free up the beds, why not go through a system like this company are suggesting . It does square the circle. There is a lot of other services. If you look at the people who are in the hospital who could be cared for elsewhere. There is a group of people who need help with their activities of daily life. Eating, being able to go to the toilet and perhaps people to help them get dressed. These are important, but not necessarily very technical elements of care, but there is a lot of other people who need nursing and they may need specialist rehabilitation and more intensive types of health care. It is not a single group of patients. I suspect we will see a range of Different Solutions to try and take people out of hospitals, which are not very good environments, particularly for older people, they tend to deteriorate. Getting people into environments, they are less likely to fall and will get up and dressed. A number of Housing Associations offered a Similar Service successfully. We need a lot of mix and the more innovation and experimentation that we have, as long as it is done prop erm and carefully evaluated, the better. The headlines are saying that someone could earn up to £1,000 a month doing. Is there a danger it would just attract people who are after the money, and not interested in the care . Well, if the money, and not interested in the care . Well, if i was running one of these companies i would want to be careful that i was getting people who had the right motivation and we re who had the right motivation and were going to provide really High Quality Service because your reputation in this area is so fragile, but they will really need to be careful. These types of forms of care are pretty extensive. Think they were talking more than £1,000 a month. I think the money, the people who do shared lives and other things are not doing it for the money. The money helps, but i think we probably would want to see people who feel that they want to make a difference rather than just that they want to make a difference rather thanjust doing that they want to make a difference rather than just doing this to make the money and the companies and the regulators, like the care quality commission, are going to have for careful to make sure they keep an eye on this sector because people are out of sight, you know, we do worry sometimes about what might happen to them. Nigel evans, thank you. Nigel evans is chief executive of the nuffield trust. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. It has been really warm of late. It has been really warm of latem has. But thats going to change. Good morning. Good morning. We will have High Pressure take over our weather, and it will mean it will be colder. Today, there is not much of a breeze around except for the far north of scotland. Here too, we are looking ata scotland. Here too, we are looking at a peppering of showers, notjust in the north, but the north west. Move away from those and it is drier and brighter after a nippy start. Temperatures picking up in the sunshine. For Northern Ireland, for the nar north of england, again you are off to a brighter start and we will see sunny spells coming through. We have a weather front in the forecast. Draped across wales, the forecast. Draped across wales, the midlands, producing a lot of cloud and again, some lighter rain and drizzle at the moment. That will turn heavier later and we have got fog further south. Some in the south west is quite dense. Now, slowly in the next couple of hours the fog will lift, we will slow see things brighten up in southern counties, but the rain will turn a little bit more persistent and possibly heavier, especially around lincolnshire this afternoon. For the far north of england, scotland and Northern Ireland, you can expect sunny spells, not forgetting those showers across the north tv scotland. Temperatures up to 17 celsius. Still on the healthy side for this time of year. Through this evening and overnight, our weather front sinks south. Not much in it. You might get drizzle. Not much more than that. We will see clear skies, so it will be a chilly night. Chillier than we have seen of late with a touch of frost across some prone areas, for example parts of Northern Ireland and around the borders. Here too, we are looking at fog patches forming as we will across parts of Northern England and the north west midlands. But then the north west midlands. But then the High Pressure builds in and sta rts the High Pressure builds in and starts to sink south. We have got the wind changing direction, especially on saturday, with the weather front coming in on saturday as well. So friday first of all, sees the back edge of todays weather front clearing away. And then we will be left with a lot of sunshine. We might hang on to more cloud at times in the south west. And it will be windy across the far north of scotland. Touching gales, possibly severe gales with exposure across the Northern Isles later. That leads us into saturday. Remember the weather front coming in across the north . It will produce rain across the far north of scotland. We will see showers coming down the east coast of england possibly as far south as east anglia. There will be bright spells as well, but the temperatures again, starting to come down. And then on sunday, our High Pressure squeezed away towards the bay of biscay and we have this cold pool coming down, straight northerly which means that it is going to feel much colder, but with the High Pressure in charge, it will be a fairly quiet day in terms of weather, fairly settled. So temperatures about average across england and wales, and Northern Ireland. But below average across scotla nd ireland. But below average across scotland and when you add on the cold aircoming scotland and when you add on the cold air coming from the wind, well you will notice the difference. We will feel the draft and that leads us into some frosty mornings coming our way as well, dan and naga. Oh dan laughter yes, that was the appropriate reaction, carol. Sorry, charlie, naga. Thank you very much. The words of one of the most famous poems to emerge from the horrors of the First World War have been written in poppies across locations in england, wales and france. Its been done by the Royal British legion to launch this years poppy appeal to help veterans of the armed forces. In Flanders Fields was written by a canadian officer called john mccrae. Here at breakfast, weve asked the poet Michael Rosen to read it for us. In Flanders Fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row that mark our place and in the sky the larks, still bravely singing, fly scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, loved and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Fields. At 8. 20am well be talking to a british army veteran who was helped by the poppy appeal. Maybe one day this might become a sport. It is extraordinary pictures ofa sport. It is extraordinary pictures of a balloon flight with a difference. Oh, this is up, that great childrens film which is great fun for adults. This is british adventurer tom morgan who flew 15 miles in south africa whilst strapped to a camping chair with the help of 100 helium balloons tom joins us now. Good morning to you. Good morning. I want you firstjust to describe the sensation of balancing in the air and it isjust a basic chair and balloons that we are sort of familiar with, almost like domestic play balloons above you. What does it feel like . Party balloons. It feels precarious because what i hadnt thought about was how small the chair would be. Its unbelievably exciting and incredibly scary at the same time. Was it a plastic chair . No, we spent a long time choosing the chair because we needed to make sure it could hold the right biscuits and colour, we ended up with an aluminium cheap camping chair. You we re aluminium cheap camping chair. You were strapped in . I had a rope that was clipped to me so if i fell out in the wind i wouldnt fall all the way down. Where were the balloons tied to . Was will there a gadget at the back of the chair . They were tied to a sort of hoop that went round, under the chair and we kept that apart with waste pipe we found on the ground. Arjts little bit of hose. This was diy job reading the notes on there, you ordered the string online and it was too thin at first. Im wondering how much scientific thought you put into this, tom . There wasnt a huge amount of thought that went into it. We ordered the string, and i was expecting a lot and i got something this big. We used builders line and anything we could buy in botswana. It was slightly home made. Anything we could buy in botswana. It was slightly homemade. This is you constructing the launch and clearly, enough of the balloons means you go up. It is as simple as that . Yeah. Yeah. So we overcooked the balloons. We had more balloons than we needed and i two gerry cans of water with a tap. If i wanted to go up, i let the water up and if i wa nted go up, i let the water up and if i wanted to go down, i would pop a balloon. With what . Pull them down or cut them off. So you had a pair of scissors with you . More less. It took 100 balloons to get you and the gerry cans of water up in the air . Yes. So they all stayed inflated and then, but there is a point, isnt there, when you get to a certain point in the atmosphere when they would just pop . Point in the atmosphere when they wouldjust pop . I was point in the atmosphere when they would just pop . I was worried about that because i started climbing faster and crossed an inversion where the weather gets warmer and i accelerated faster and two things we re accelerated faster and two things were concerning, one, they were all going to pop and i would fall quickly. You had a parachute . I had reserve para gliding chute. All is well and you landed safely . Yes. No damage done . All went surprisingly well. Do we need to say, dont try this at home . It is one of those ones, isnt it . You almost could. This at home . It is one of those ones, isnt it . You almost couldlj think everyone should try it at home. No, thats not official we dont make that official. Were not saying that at all. Well done for pulling it off thats an adventure, isnt it . Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news, im sonja jessup. A london mp is calling for a ban on protestors from gathering outside abortion clinics across the country after a buffer zone was set up outside one clinic in her constituency. Ealing Council Voted to ban campaigns outside a Marie Stopes Centre after complaints that patients and staff were being abused. Claims which protesters deny. Now, more than a hundred mps have signed an open letter to the home secretary asking her to take action. Women every day who want to have terminations have to face a gauntlet of protesters who are there literally to guilt trip them with their rosary beads chanting hymns and all sorts of things and more recently weve had counter protesters as well. Its getting a bit like america. These poor women are caught in the crossfire. Plans for a new £1. 6 Million Centre to support those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire have been outlined by Kensington And Chelsea council. At a meeting last night, the Council Leader Elizabeth Campbell said the centre would bring together access to nhs help for post Traumatic Stress disorder, Child Bereavement support and information on the public inquiry. 45 buildings in london have been added to a list of Historic Sites that were at risk of losing. Among those considered in need of rescue by Historic England are the church of st george the martyr in bermondsey, immortalised by Charles Dickens in his novel little dorrit. And the worlds oldest gasholder in londons fulham gaswork. Lets have a look at the travel situation now. Theres been a signal failure which means there are minor delays on the circle line and severe delays on the District Line from earls court to tower hill. Lets take a look at the weather now, heres lucy martin good morning. Its starting to become a bit cooler as we move towards the weekend. Today a largely cloudy day with outbreaks of rain and drizzle at times. This morning we have a few patches of mist and fog to look out for, particularly if youre on the road. So a grey start to the day this morning. Those patches of mist and fog gradually lifting as we move through the morning. The cloud could be thick enough to produce outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. The best of any brighter intervals the further south you are with highs of 17s and a light westerly wind. Through this evening and overnight, we will start to see the cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle and a few patches of mist and fog sinking southwards. So the skies clearing which will allow the temperatures to fall away. A chillier night to come with overnight lows of between ten to 12 celsius. A fresher start, but a bright one. We will see good spells of sunshine. Staying dry and bright, but feeling fresher. A high of 15 celsius. That takes us into the weekend. High pressure is largely dominant. You can see the isobars squeezing together and spinning round to more of a northerly. So it will be quite breezy and feeling fresher as we move through this weekend. On saturday, fairly cloudy day with outbreaks of rain possible. Breezy and on sunday, a northerly wind. So a fresher feel to our weather and highs of 14 celsius. Thats all for now. Theres plenty more on our website at the usual address. Hello. This is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Heres a summary of this mornings main stories from bbc news. A review has found that about 300,000 people leave theirjobs every year because of insufficient support for Mental Health problems. The report, commissioned by the government, says the cost to the economy runs to nearly £100 billion. Earlier the reports author lord stevenson explained some of his recommendations. Having an open atmosphere so that people can talk about the illnesses is one. Two, getting across the motion that we all have a moment of Mental Health. We think its an illness, it isnt. Youve got Mental Health, ive got Mental Health. Third, getting across the idea there are certain very simple things to spot people under the weather, who are struggling. And certain things you can do about it and, above all, there are ways of measuring the Mental Health of an organisation. Some of them cause money but not much money but anyone who wants to save money in their business and make their employers happier, please read our report. Nhs patients recovering after an operation could be moved from a hospital bed to a strangers spare room, under radical plans being considered by health trusts in essex. Although talks are at an early stage, the Company Behind the plans has already started recruiting potential carers. Nhs england praised the idea, but said it was a long way from being implemented. Nigel edwards, chief executive of nuffield trust, told us the idea would make little impact in the long term. Would make little impact in the longterm. I think set against the context of the bigger problem is that the nhs and social care is facing at the moment, its likely to be an interesting idea that, if they can get it to work, would certainly help, that there are bigger things at play at the moment, to be honest. A 14 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 32 year old man was shot dead near accrington in lancashire. Police were called to an address in the village of 0zald twistle. Officers say they believe it was an isolated incident. Youth workers have been told they should consider monitoring the social media used by young people who are at risk of being involved in crime. The recommendations been made by her majestys inspectorate of probation, which has warned that a quarter of the crimes it studied were directly linked to social media. We found a range of things, sometimes simple exchanges could exploit into violence when people met, particularly if theres 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 unfortunate image of themselves on media. More than 3,000 documents relating to the assassination of president John F Kennedy will be released by the Us National Archives later today. The final batch of files represent just 1 of the investigation. The rest has already been released. Ahead of the publication, President Trump tweeted to say the papers were so interesting. The six week waiting time for universal credit should be cut, according to the work and pensions select committee. Mps say the current wait is leaving people facing acute financial difficulties. They want it reduced to a month. A government spokesman said the new system had been improved to make advance payments available to those facing hardship. Hundreds of thousands of mourners have gathered in bangkok for the funeral of thailands king who died last year. You can see some of the live images being broadcast this morning. Later today the king will be cremated on the royal pyre. It has taken almost 12 months to prepare for the five day ceremonial event. Bt customers who have a landline only phone service will see their bills cut by £7 a month. The saving follows a review by the media regulator 0fcom which found customers with the service have been getting poor value for money. The reductions will be introduced from april next year. Some people still havent got used to there being no conductors on buses, but a German Company has gone one step further, by getting rid of the driver too. The countrys first driverless passenger bus was launched in bavaria yesterday. It carries 12 people. It will offer free rides on an eight minute route linking the baths, the town centre and the station. There is someone on board just in case it went wrong. 0ften there is someone on board just in case it went wrong. Often for these trials, they will. There is someone on there. The speed is limited to nine miles an hour of the moment. You said people could walk faster. You said people could walk faster. You walk quickly it can go to 18 miles an hour. It has been tested at that speed. There is a human driver in there, who can override the controls with a joystick. So there isa controls with a joystick. So there is a driver as well . No, they are someone who could take over. There you go. The idea is similar buses will operate like a private car service so they are trialling it now. Who knows what will happen next . It reminds me of that episode of father ted. There is a runaway milk cart. Father ted takes control. It sounds good. Father dougal takes control of it. Does it work out well . I dont think so. They put a brick on the accelerator. What is happening with womens cricket . It is under way at the moment and they are hoping to get level with australia. Its not going too well so far. They won the toss but chose to field. Theres a bit of debate whether it was the right decision based on australias talents. At the moment, they are in brisbane on sunday. Dont worry, we dont have to go into the detail. Australia is a big place. Hopefully, they can get level, it would give them a chance. Its early to say its a must win game but you would like to think it would give them more of a level pegging if they can start to pick up the pace a little bit. Its the second game and they do have their work cut out to avoid slipping to the second defeat. After a strong start to australia england pegged them back but had a night taking a spectacular catch. Elyse perry has taken australia passed the 200 mark with an unbeaten half century. Australia are now 245 3 in the 46th over. It was a huge night for west ham in the league cup last night as they overturned a two goal lead to beat tottenham at wembley. Spurs were looking very comfortable when dele alli scored their second before half time, heaping more pressure on hammers boss slaven bilic. But, two goals from andre ayew and this from angelo 0gbonna turned things around to put west ham through to the quarter finals. Elsewhere, David Unsworths first game in charge of everton ended in a 2 1 defeat at chelsea. Everton, still have no permanent manager after ronald koeman, something Leicester City know about. They are on their third manager this year but according to the clubs vice chairman, he is the perfect fit for them. Claude puel is the perfect fit for Leicester City, according to the clubs vice chairman. Puel was sacked by southampton at the end of last season, despite finishing eighth in the league. He becomes leicesters third manager this year, replacing Craig Shakespeare who succeeded premier League Title Winner Claudio Raneiri in february. Celtic stamped their dominance on the scottish premiership with a 3 0 win over nearest rivals aberdeen at pittodrie. Lewis tierney gave Brendan Rodgers side an early lead with this fierce finish. Moussa dembele then scored twice, this his second from close range, as celtic went three points clear at the top and stretched their unbeaten run to 61 domestic matches. Hard to believe. Now, the future of english football looks to be in good health. After victory in the under 20s world cup and the under 19s european championship, now the under 17s side have reached the final of their world cup in india. Once again the liverpool youngster Rhian Brewster was the hero of the day, scoring his second hat trick in successive games to beat brazil in the semi final, setting up a final with spain. Im feeling great. Over the moon to score two hat tricks in two games. Obviously a great performance from the lads. We dug deep. Brazil are a very good team. We knew that before we came in so we just stuck to the plan and hopefully onto the final and hopefully win. And do our best to win the game, that is all were going to do. Rugby union and england captain Dylan Hartley will be available for next months autumn internationals. Hartley was facing a possible ban which could have ruled him out of matches against argentina, australia and samoa at twickenham. However, england will be without propjoe marler for the first two games after he was banned for three weeks for striking an opponent with an elbow. Two amateur golfers have defied astronomical odds by hitting consecutive holes in one while playing a round in berkshire. This is just incredible. Jayne mattey and clair shine had never previously played together, but last saturday both went from tee to pin in one shot on the 13th hole. According to the National Hole in one registry the odds of two players acing the same hole, on the same day and on the same round are 17 million to one. Completely amazed i got a hole in one before it dawned on us wed actually both done it and that must be pretty rare. It was so exciting. We did high fives and a little dance, i cant remember, because it was so lovely. I love them. I think they are great. It is all official, on a register, so presumably you have to have witnesses. They are each others witnesses. They are each others witnesses. Golf is a game of integrity, thats the whole idea behind it. They were playing together and witnessed each others shots. And marked the card. Im not saying i dont believe them. Exactly thought why not suggesting that. They seem like lovely women. You think forward to become official, you would think its like running the 100 metres and saying my friend saw me do it in 9. 2. You cant have somebody looking at you on every single macro holy. I want to know how big the bar bill was because the tradition as you go into the clubhouse and buy drinks for everyone. They dont buy it for you . No. You buy for everyone else. That feels wrong, doesnt it . That is the tradition. 0utrageous iwont bother them. Next time i go out for a drink, i wont go with you. I wont get one. 246 3 in the cricket now and it is in Coffs Harbour in australia. I like when we forget where something is and you find so many interesting things about about Coffs Harbour. Lots of places to go in Coffs Harbour. There is a national park. And the Mutton Bird Island nature reserve. That sounds nice. Make a note. Iwill look Island Nature reserve. That sounds nice. Make a note. I will look that up. Booked my flight. See you later on. We are talking about Mental Health in the workplace this morning. And major reporters found the economy is losing around £100 billion a year because people are feeling that they need to leave the work face because theyre not getting the support they need. We are trying to get a sense this morning of different workplaces and it can in any environment. Good morning to you, collett. Good morning. Yes, im trying to find that the difference between small and big businesses and the way that they approach Mental Health issues. 0ne they approach Mental Health issues. One woman who knows all about that is caroline. She works here at the royal mail. You normally deal with first class. Tell us a little bit in terms of your own experience, you told your bosses about your own Mental Health difficulties. How has that changed the way your day to day life works . Itjust makes it so much easier because when im having a bad day i dont have to explain the whole situation of why im having a bad day. I canjust come in and say im struggling today for the bay know why i am struggling and, because of that, they are just my job to suit me. It is not every day and obviously the job does come first, but where they can accommodate me, they will do and it just means i dont have to think about my Mental Health the same as i would do if they did not have that understanding with me. Does that meana understanding with me. Does that mean a time out for what changes . M allows me to have a job where i can work on my own for a bit, to give me time to calm down, have a breather from having to interact with people, which is the bit i sometimes find difficult, so that having a time out for a few minutes to do Something Different really. Those are some of the things the workforce here are doing. Big recommendations from the government to all workforces, all employers, to try to get people to make a plan in their workforce. Samuel is from the institute of directors, one of the big business organisations. It sounds very good in theory, samuel, but its difficult for businesses to actually put this into practice . Yes, we represent the majority of smes and a lot of them will be hr directors and managing directors and could be doing it themselves and its difficult because if an employee needs time off or needs to talk to about it, maybe they are not as brave as caroline, but its important day with this independent review, to make sure. It is stigma busting, how to make open and effective lines of medication between you, the md, the leadership, the strategy role and your employees. Thank you. In terms of those Smaller Companies, were joined by andy, who is the boss of an Engineering Consultancy company. Andy, you have a particular interest in promoting Mental Health in your workforce . Indeed, it came on to my radar two years ago, when we lost our youngest son. He took his life at university. That really made me think that we need to take care of our staff and see what we can do to help them in the workplace. Are your workforce open to that . Do people talk to you . Yes and no. Some do. It is a problem. The stigma, the people want to be normal. They dont want to talk about it. So we have to create an environment where they feel they can. Thank you very much, annie for joining us. Much more from me throughout the morning about the difficulties and the benefits of talking about Mental Health in the workplace. Thank you very much. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Bottom good morning. Were going to hang on to high temperatures in the south of the country. What you will find across the board, south of the country. What you will find across the boa rd, it south of the country. What you will find across the board, it is going to turn colder especially so by sunday when we pull in a northerly wind. What we have got today is a weather front straddled across england and wales producing rain. It will turn heavier later. Breezy in the north with showers. The showers will be on and off across the north and the west of scotland as we go through the day. So for much of scotland, the very far north of england and Northern Ireland, it will brighten up. This rain turning persistent and to the south of that, its a cloud crisis start. We have got fog around. The fog will lift through the morning and the cloud will break. We will hang on to the rain in that narrow band across Northern England and north wales. Across lincolnshire it could turn heavy. South of that, we will have some cloud around, it will be bright rather than sunny. But we will see brighter breaks develop in the cloud so sunshine will come through, but we will hang on to more cloud at times across cornwall and west devon. For wales, south times across cornwall and west devon. Forwales, south wales, brightening up, north wales you have got the other end of the weather front. So some patchy rain and drizzle. But sunshine this afternoon across Northern Ireland and also across Northern Ireland and also across much of scotland with temperatures more or less bang on where they should be at this stage in october, but still, the blustery showers. Through this evening and overnight, our weather front will really weaken as it sinks southwards taking its cloud with it and spots of drizzle. Behind it under clear skies it will be a cooler night and we could see a touch of frost across Northern Ireland, the scottish and english borders and some patchy fog across Northern Ireland and also parts of north west england and the north west midlands. Tomorrow our High Pressure starts to edge away towards the south west allowing the wind to veer around it, by saturday we have a north westerly wind and a weather front coming our way. We have a north westerly wind and a weatherfront coming our way. If we have a north westerly wind and a weather front coming our way. If we look at friday, the weather front clears from the south, High Pressure means a lot of sunshine. Things quiet. Windy across the far north of scotland. The winds strengthening later on in the day. Across the Northern Isles we could be looking at gusts to gale force. 0n Northern Isles we could be looking at gusts to gale force. On saturday, at gusts to gale force. On saturday, a lot of cloud around. There will be some sunny breaks developing, but remember the weather front coming in across northern scotland. Well, it will introduce some rain and down the east coast of the uk, possibly as far south as east anglia, well also see some showers. And then on sunday, what weve got is a northerly coming straight down from the far north and introducing colder air. It will be a windy day as well, but with High Pressure still close to us, things will be fairly settled in term of the other elements. Still not too bad temperature wise, bang on across england and wales, but cooler in the north and the cold feel exacerbated by the northerly wind, charlie and naga. Thank you very much, carol. Thank you, carol. We are going to look at a car that could do 1,000mph. Robert halljoins us now. Now, bloodhound has been tucked away in this former Cold War Hangar on the edge of knew key airport for the last few days. They have been giving us some final checks. They have been beginning to build up her speed. There you see the car silhouetted, there is a big tea m the car silhouetted, there is a big team of people here, engineers, designers, people who have got to plot out the logistics of where she goes from here. They have been working on the car for the last few days. She has been out on the airport. Here she comes now. That huge rocket, jet engine you can see on the top there. That originally was built for the typhoon, formally known as the eurofighter. Thats what will propel the car up to 200mph today. Quite slow in terms for the team because theyre aiming higher than that, but what it will do is test out the systems and make sure that everything works as it should. More in a minute from the man who is going to drive it and the man who is going to drive it and the man who is going to drive it and the man who has thought up this project. Here is a bit about how the story began. Bloodhound is ready. It is a journey that began on an october day nine yea rs that began on an october day nine years ago. Ajourney that began on an october day nine years ago. A journey that has reached one of its most important milestones, outside a concrete Cold War Hangar, the Bloodhound Team tested the jet engine that will power this car to speeds never seen before. This is complex technology. A7. 5 before. This is complex technology. A 7. 5 tonne vehicle that will generate six times more power than a formula one grid and cover a mile in 3. 6 seconds. A car which sprang from the genius of ron heirs, now 85 who already worked on two successful land speed record attempts. Nobody has been anywhere like this before. If we break the 1,000mph, it would be 31 faster than they went last time which is massive. In bloodhounds cockpit today, the Fighter Pilot who already holds the land speed record. Travelling at 200mph down the one and a half ru nway 200mph down the one and a half runway he will have no room for error. I will select idle at 130mph. The car will keep accelerating to 200mph as the engine starts to wind down. I need to put the brakes on. As we are accelerating, the brakes are starting to heat up. As we get to 200mph, im hitting 40 af 50 bar of brake temperature and theyre starting to bite and slow the car down. There are other complications. This isa there are other complications. This is a working airport and the two high speed runs must take place in between scheduled arrivals and departures. Most air. Traffic controllers thrive on the idea of being under pressure, but being under pressure operating efficiently and calmly. Thats how this has worked. Newsreel thousands are on americas salt lake as the giant all british car roars away. The quest for land speed records stretches across the deck taidz. Today takes another designer one step closer to his vision.

Ealing Council Voted for a ban outside a local Marie Stopes Centre after complaints patients and staff were being harassed, claims which protestors deny. More than 100 mps have signed an open letter to the home secretary asking her to take action. Women every day who want to have terminations have to face a gauntlet of protesters who are there literally to guilt trip them with their rosary beads chanting hymns and all sorts of things and more recently weve had counter protesters as well. Its getting a bit like america. These poor women are caught in the crossfire.

Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. The cost of Mental Illness in the workplace a lack of support sees 300,000 people leave theirjobs every year. A new report calls on businesses to look after their workers better. To find out what it looks like in practice, i am at this Royal Mail Sorting Office, when it comes to talking about workers Mental Health. Good morning, its thursday, 26th october. Rent a room to a hospital patient radical plans are being considered to free up beds in essex. Thousands of classified files relating to the assasination of president kennedy will be released today, 54 years after his death. In sport and the womens ashes, australia set england a mammoth total in the second one dayer, but could a storm be about to save them . A poem of poppies the words of in Flanders Fields have been written in different locations to mark this years poppy appeal. These ones are outside our studio. And carol has the weather. Across Northern England, scotland and Northern Ireland, it will brighten up, sunshine, a few showers in the north, blustery winds. Some of us will see some sunshine. More in15 of us will see some sunshine. More in 15 minutes. First, our main story. More than 300,000 people are leaving the workforce every year because of insufficient support for Mental Health problems. A report, commissioned by the government, says the cost to the economy is nearly £100 billion. 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. Todays report recommends more places should be like this. Aviva in sheffield says its 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 that stage werent sure if id 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 of 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 2 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. Colletta is at a Royal Mail Sorting Office in warrington for us this morning, looking at how businesses are reacting to this report. Many people are asking how, actually, this can be implemented in the workplace. Good morning. It is a difficult one. The recommendations in the report are varied. A big one is for managers to make a plan in the workforce, to make sure workers know who they can talk to if they have difficulty. I am at this Royal Mail Sorting Office because they are trying Different Things here, safe rooms people can go to if they need a break, one of the really controversial things is that employers, according to the report, should make an assessment of the workforce, they should know where are up to in terms of Mental Health. That is easier said than done. A lot of people are concerned maybe about it being difficult to spot as a manager, difficult to work out who might need help. Mostly this report is talking about creating a culture of honesty so that people know if they talk to their manager, they will not get in trouble and in fa ct they will not get in trouble and in fact they will get the support they need instead. Colletta, we will talk to you later and you will be talking to people there as well. Nhs patients recovering after an operation could be moved from a hospital bed to a strangers spare room under radical plans being considered by health trusts in essex. Talks are at an early stage, but the Company Behind the idea has already started recruiting potential carers. 0ur reporter, ben ando, joins us now from our london newsroom. Good morning. Just explain how this idea might work. Good morning. Last year, the nhs lost 2. 2 million bed days because of delays transferring people out of hospital. It is often not the fault of the patient, but if they do not need to be in hospital but they are not quite well enough to live on their own, you can end up with bed blocking. This idea has come from a doctor in an a e department, taken forward by a private company, suggesting households with Spare Capacity could have a room and a private bathroom for a patient, providing them with three meals a day, and would be paid £50 a night for that. Some people say it is an interesting idea but one Health Charity told us that while it is an interesting thought, it does not address the real problem. Quite a lot of logistical issues about making this work. I do not see anything against it in principle but set against the context of the bigger problem is the nhs and social care are facing at the moment, it is likely to be an interesting idea that if they can get it to work would certainly help but there are bigger things at play at the moment, to be honest. Report has revealed hospital emergency readmissions have gone up bya emergency readmissions have gone up by a fifth in the last five years. There are suggestions that could be because hospitals are under increasing pressure to clear beds when patients not quite ready to be sent home. You. Thank you. The six week waiting time for universal credit should be cut, according to the work and pensions select committee. Mps say the current wait is leaving people facing acute financial difficulties. They want it reduced to a month. A government spokesman said the new system had been improved to make advance payments available to those facing hardship. Youth workers have been told they should consider monitoring the social media used by young people who are at risk of being involved in crime. The recommendations been made by her majestys inspectorate of probation, which has warned that a quarter of the crimes it studied were directly linked to social media. We found a range of things, sometimes think alex changes 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 unfortunate images of themselves on social media. Polls have opened in kenya for the re run of the disputed president ial election, which is being boycotted by the main opposition. President Uhuru Kenyatta won the august election by 1. 4 million votes, but the Supreme Court annulled the election, citing irregularities. More than 3,000 documents relating to the assassination of president John F Kennedy will be released by the Us National Archives later today. The president was shot while travelling in an open top car in dallas in 1963. Jane 0brien reports from washington. Time has not dimmed americas fascination with the kennedys, a fairy tale family cursed by fate. Newsreel president kennedy has been assassinated. Its official now. The president is dead. More than half a century after his assassination in dallas, Many Americans still believe that jfks 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 cruise, was somehow involved. What was he doing with lee harvey 0swald shortly before the death, before the shooting . Its horrible. Donald trump alleges that my dad was involved in assassinating jfk. Now, lets 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 0swalds 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. Jane 0brien, bbc news, washington. Hundreds of thousands of mourners have gathered in bangkok for the funeral of thailands King Bhumibol adulyadej, who died last year. Later today, the king will be cremated on the royal pyre. It has taken almost 12 months to prepare for the five day ceremonial event. One in six people of working age in england are currently dealing with Mental Health problems, costing the economy billions of pounds a year. A major review into Mental Health in the workplace has found 300,000 people with a long term Mental Health problem lose theirjobs each year. Werejoined by emma mamo, from the charity mind, andjames tringham, who left his career as a lawyer and has since been diagnosed with bipolar. Good morning. How important is it that this is now addressed and with the recommendations coming out for employers to do more to offer support . Very important. We all have Mental Health, it exists on the spectrum. We move up and down it for any number of reasons. The workplace can have a significant impact. James, one of the things that has emerged, you took part in a film we have done today about your experience, the first point, the point at which you first talk to someone in the workplace, as opposed to it within your family, saying, this is me, this is what i am going through, can you remember those times . I can. When i first started telling people, it was not usually very well received. It was not that people were unsympathetic, but they did not know how to deal with it. You were a lawyer . I was a solicitor. So people get an inkling, you say to someone, i am struggling a bit at the moment, is that a boss, coley, how does it work . Eventually, i started talking to my boss. If i was not well enough to go to work, you have no choice but to explain why you are not there. But their real concern at the Small Business like that, making sure that i built enough money to keep myjob and ultimately if i am not there enough or not coping with the workload, goodbye to the job. |j or not coping with the workload, goodbye to the job. I was going to ask how big the company was because this is one of the problems that has been thrown out. When you are a big company, you have resources, hr, steps to take. I work for aviva these days and they are very good, systems in place, as you saw in the film. It is different in a small firm. They do not tend to have the resources. To be honest, if all a it if all resources. To be honest, if all a it if all affirmed did was say, it is fine to talk about, that would be a huge start. Clearly there are practical issues, in a small organisation, who is going to do the work . Do you think it is a bit of a copout . What people need someone saying, we are hearing you, maybe we can be part of the process that helps. What keeps people well is good work life balance, people having a say, any employer can implement stuff around that, making sure people are supported in that way. When someone is struggling, it is just about having a conversation, what support can we put in place to help you manage a difficult period . How do you know when someone is starting to struggle . There is a line between, you come to work, do your job, line between, you come to work, do yourjob, you line between, you come to work, do your job, you want line between, you come to work, do yourjob, you want your own line between, you come to work, do yurjb, you want your own life, outside of work. Not wanting to be interfered with, by your bosses. There is a line on both sides to be measured. I knew the people i work with well enough, i can tell, if they become introverted, there are signs, partly i can pick up on that from my own fragility is, but i think everyone can spot them, if they are trying to empathise with their colleagues. Yeah, you can spot changes in someones behaviour or mood. Iam changes in someones behaviour or mood. I am quite happy and chatty, but if i am feeling the pressure, im quite businesslike. In the workplace, once you say it, you cannot take it back. Sometimes people are good at hiding. It is for employers and managers to ask people routinely, how are things going . Hopefully, the conversation will open up. James, you clearly have empathy with people who are suffering because you know what it feels like, ongoing thing. Do you think that there are widely still issues about people getting their head around what it can mean to be in that place . I am out and proud as a Mental Health sufferer, if you like. I a Mental Health sufferer, if you like. Lam a Mental Health sufferer, if you like. I am struggling at the moment, family issues. I found it difficult to say that to my boss. Who is really sympathetic and helpful. If i am like that now, despite having been used to it for however many years, then it is going to be so much harder for someone coming into it for the first time. It makes you sitting on the sofa saying these things all the more remarkable and people will take something from that. The thing to take is providing you get the right help, you can get through it. I dont want to be negative because it is wonderful to talk about what is going on and to be compassionate with fellow workers, was there ever a point you thought, if i say seven, myjob is at risk . Certainly in the past as a lawyer. That attitude has to change, employers making it clear you are allowed to be not 100 . The spectrum, we all move up and down it, if you invest in a staff member, you build up their knowledge, contacts, clients, if they hit a wall, you save, not in my workplace, you lose that. The next person you recruit, they might hit that same wall. For me, employers need to acknowledge all staff have Mental Health, you want to do stuff to keep people well and respond if they are struggling and not lose them. James, thank you for sharing your story. You did not talk to fast there will be people who are affected by this. Details of organisations offering information and support with Mental Health are available on the bbc action line at bbc. Co. Uk actionline.

Its been done by the Royal British legion to launch this years poppy appeal to help veterans of the armed forces. in Flanders Fields was written by a canadian officer called john mccrae.

Very, very proud. For anyone out there, please, just ask for help. What has the british legion done for you in terms of that, being able to help you talk more . Certainly, when i started getting help, the person that helped me, mike, he would not leave me alone, he was ringing consta ntly leave me alone, he was ringing constantly making sure i was all right. Notjust constantly making sure i was all right. Not just about the furniture, it was more of a personal thing, just making sure. I think he went over and above, amazing.
