:07:01. > :07:04.and many points in between have been hit by what is now
:07:05. > :07:12.a common form of cybercrime. It's become a tool of choice
:07:13. > :07:15.for an awful lot of criminals simply because it's very easy to make
:07:16. > :07:18.money very quickly. You can buy ransomware online
:07:19. > :07:20.for as little as $39. At the top end of the market,
:07:21. > :07:24.it comes with a lot of support and payment systems
:07:25. > :07:37.to help you get your money. It often arrives in an innocuous
:07:38. > :07:41.looking e-mail. You click it, the software is downloaded and spreads
:07:42. > :07:45.through June at work, locking up the files on it. Then a message flashes
:07:46. > :07:49.up on screens, warning that if you want your data on blogs, you will
:07:50. > :07:55.have to pay a ransom, often in Bitcoin. The irony is that security

:08:14. > :08:19.would be OK. The worry is that many health service computers may not
:08:20. > :08:22.have been updated. The NHS is vulnerable, because it has not
:08:23. > :08:26.invested enough in computer security, they use old systems, and
:08:27. > :08:30.if they don't keep them patched, they will keep on getting hit by

:09:20. > :09:25.information about how badly services were affected. There seems to be a
:09:26. > :09:29.consensus that around 40 organisations have been affected, it
:09:30. > :09:35.is not clear how many trusts, how many GP practices and other NHS
:09:36. > :09:42.groups. There are more than 200 NHS bodies in England. The priority over

:09:46. > :09:51.stabilise their systems and try to get back to normal. There will be a
:09:52. > :09:55.debate about how formal ball the NHS is, how much investment there has
:09:56. > :09:59.been to avoid this sort of thing, that is one source said, that is a
:10:00. > :10:04.question for another day, he priority now is to stabilise the
:10:05. > :10:09.system. What about the disruption for patients? How badly will it
:10:10. > :10:14.affect them? How likely's how long is this likely to go on? NHS leaders
:10:15. > :10:20.are making clear that emergency care is there as normal for people who
:10:21. > :10:25.need it, but when it comes to routine surgery Tom outpatient
:10:26. > :10:29.appointments, quite a lot postponed today, it is likely that more will
:10:30. > :10:33.be postponed on Monday and maybe Tuesday, which will create a backlog
:10:34. > :10:37.which could run for some time, because the NHS is under such
:10:38. > :10:41.pressure. GPs say they have been affect it in some areas, that will
:10:42. > :10:45.affect appointments and prescriptions and so on. It is not
:10:46. > :10:46.clear how long it will last, but almost certainly well beyond the

:11:28. > :11:30.though some in his party wish And today the Labour leader
:11:31. > :11:34.was holding to his oldest and deepest convictions,
:11:35. > :11:36.writing off years of Britain's way The fact is that the war
:11:37. > :11:45.on terror has been driven, which has driven these
:11:46. > :11:47.interventions, has not succeeded. It has not increased

:12:39. > :12:44.deterrent, and Jeremy Corbyn's lifelong opposition
:12:45. > :12:47.to nuclear defence? For a potential Prime Minister,
:12:48. > :12:50.it's become a nagging question, a live election issue,
:12:51. > :12:53.and he knew it. I'm often asked if,
:12:54. > :12:55.as Prime Minister, I would order It's an extraordinary question,
:12:56. > :13:00.when you think about it. Would you order the indiscriminate
:13:01. > :13:06.killing of millions of people? Would you risk such contamination
:13:07. > :13:08.of the planet that no life could exist across large parts

:14:08. > :14:08.straightaway, examine what their presence is straightaway,
:14:09. > :14:12.but above all, that fits into the whole point I'm saying,
:14:13. > :14:15.that I would do everything I possibly could in order

:15:34. > :15:37.she can swell these polite ranks of her supporters,
:15:38. > :15:41.trying to stir up national pride with talk of security and defence,
:15:42. > :15:46.while slamming her Labour opponents, who have been in charge around

:15:51. > :15:54.working-class people in towns and cities across Britain have not

:16:06. > :16:08.that Labour was a party that shared their values and stood up

:16:19. > :16:23.the Tories beyond small Look at the side of the bus to see
:16:24. > :16:29.how they hope she will. Her name in giant letters,
:16:30. > :16:33.you almost need a magnifying She may be well ahead in the polls,

:17:03. > :17:08.that is what I want to see, us standing alone and moving
:17:09. > :17:13.forward that way. Getting on the road
:17:14. > :17:15.in the north-east is part of a deliberate strategy,
:17:16. > :17:18.not just to try to win, But however she travels,
:17:19. > :17:31.and whatever the polls say today, shifting huge numbers of votes
:17:32. > :17:36.in Labour territory is a hard sell. Theresa May has already been to more
:17:37. > :17:39.than 20 Labour seats, including some here in the north-east that should
:17:40. > :17:43.traditionally be safe as houses. The Tories say she is having
:17:44. > :17:47.a positive message, but every day they are trying to display contrast
:17:48. > :17:52.between her and Jeremy Corbyn, brutally trying to strip
:17:53. > :18:03.away Labour's vote. You don't get anyone more important

:18:35. > :18:36.that a 14-year-old boy who collapsed during a detention and later died
:18:37. > :18:39.could have been saved The coroner said staff
:18:40. > :18:45.at Nasar Ahmed's school in East London last November weren't

:18:48. > :18:51.no instructions on how Nasar Ahmed loved maths and science
:18:52. > :19:00.and wanted to be a politician. He also suffered from severe
:19:01. > :19:05.asthma and food allergies. His family have heard in detail how
:19:06. > :19:08.he came to die after having an extreme allergic reaction
:19:09. > :19:12.to an ingredient in a curry he had A couple of hours after he had
:19:13. > :19:19.eaten, he told staff There was confusion as to what might
:19:20. > :19:23.be wrong and his personal It contained an adrenaline pen,
:19:24. > :19:29.but there were no instructions as to how or when to use it,
:19:30. > :19:33.so nobody did. The coroner concluded that
:19:34. > :19:38.if the pen had been used promptly, and he had been administered
:19:39. > :19:41.adrenaline, there is a possibility, but not a probability,
:19:42. > :19:46.this would have changed the outcome. His family say the school let
:19:47. > :19:52.them and their son down. They failed their care
:19:53. > :19:58.of duty for my son. If they gave him the injection that
:19:59. > :20:05.time, within five minutes, before the ambulance,
:20:06. > :20:08.maybe that would have The school issued a statement today,
:20:09. > :20:15.saying that following his death, "We rigorously reviewed
:20:16. > :20:17.all of our safety procedures and are providing more training
:20:18. > :20:22.for staff across the board." The coroner will be
:20:23. > :20:25.writing several reports, including to his school,
:20:26. > :20:27.in an effort to prevent She will also suggest
:20:28. > :20:30.to the Chief Medical Officer in England that if the pens
:20:31. > :20:33.were more widely available and President Trump has warned the man
:20:34. > :20:44.he fired as the director of the FBI against talking to the media,
:20:45. > :20:46.and suggested that there could be tape recordings
:20:47. > :20:50.of their conversations. James Comey had been leading
:20:51. > :20:52.an inquiry into possible collusion between Trump election
:20:53. > :20:55.officials and Russia. Now the President has tweeted,

:21:31. > :21:35.in Washington. It was just the tone of that tweet from the president
:21:36. > :21:41.early this morning, suggesting to James Comey, you'd better keep your
:21:42. > :21:45.mouth shut or else. And, you know, I'm sure it is pure coincidence that
:21:46. > :21:49.this afternoon we've learned that James Comey, who had been invited to
:21:50. > :21:54.testify before the intelligence committee next Tuesday, has declined
:21:55. > :21:59.that invitation. More remarkable still is the suggestion there may be
:22:00. > :22:02.some kind of secret recording devices in the White House where,
:22:03. > :22:06.wherever you are, you are being recorded, because it may be that
:22:07. > :22:09.there is a recording of a dinner that James Comey had with the
:22:10. > :22:15.president shortly after Donald Trump took office. Inevitably, it was the
:22:16. > :22:16.only question people wanted to ask that they's briefing with Sean
:22:17. > :22:17.Spicer. Did President Trump
:22:18. > :22:18.record his conversations with former FBI director,
:22:19. > :22:19.Director Comey? I assume you are referring
:22:20. > :22:22.to the tweet, and I've The President has nothing
:22:23. > :22:25.further to add on that. Are there recording
:22:26. > :22:29.devices in the Oval Office As I've said, for the third
:22:30. > :22:41.time, there is nothing Does he think it's appropriate to
:22:42. > :22:49.threaten somebody not to speak? That's not a threat, it's stating a
:22:50. > :22:53.fact. Retweet speaks for itself. One reason it has been so chaotic in
:22:54. > :22:57.Washington is that people stories have kept changing. White House
:22:58. > :23:01.briefing people have said one thing, the president has contradicted the
:23:02. > :23:04.few minutes later. This morning, the president tweeted that maybe the
:23:05. > :23:09.answer that is to stop briefings altogether because it's hard to give
:23:10. > :23:14.accurate information when things are changing so quickly. At the end of
:23:15. > :23:19.this week, it's been a rare week of tumult and turbulence. And it's hard
:23:20. > :23:21.to believe that the thunderclaps are over yet. This could go on for some
:23:22. > :23:22.time yet. A brief look at some
:23:23. > :23:25.of the day's other news stories. Police forces have warned
:23:26. > :23:27.of an increase in the number of young people carrying knives
:23:28. > :23:30.and other weapons in schools. They say that more than 2,500
:23:31. > :23:32.weapons were seized in schools in England and Wales
:23:33. > :23:36.in the past two years. The value of finance deals
:23:37. > :23:39.used to buy new cars has ?3.5 billion of loans
:23:40. > :23:43.were taken out in March, The Financial Conduct Authority has
:23:44. > :23:48.said it will investigate whether there has been irresponsible
:23:49. > :23:53.lending. The United States has
:23:54. > :23:55.signed a number of trade agreements with China,
:23:56. > :23:57.in an attempt by Washington to reduce its trade
:23:58. > :24:00.deficit with Beijing. Among American firms
:24:01. > :24:02.to benefit will be beef and natural-gas exporters,
:24:03. > :24:06.plus big credit-card companies such Football, and Chelsea clinched
:24:07. > :24:18.the Premier League title tonight with a 1-0 win at West Bromwich
:24:19. > :24:20.Albion. It means they have their hands
:24:21. > :24:22.on the trophy with two games to spare in what's been manager
:24:23. > :24:25.Antonio Conte's first Our Sports Editor,
:24:26. > :24:35.Dan Roan, reports. Glory was within their grasp.
:24:36. > :24:39.Chelsea strolled to the title almost complete. West Brom have also
:24:40. > :24:43.enjoyed their season, and victory at the hawthorns would have to be
:24:44. > :24:46.earned. The visitors enjoyed the better chances but failed to break
:24:47. > :24:52.down a stubborn defence in a cagey first half. There was added urgency
:24:53. > :24:56.after the restart. Victor Moses denied by Ben Foster. Chelsea's
:24:57. > :24:59.prostration beginning to show. In the final ten minutes, and with the
:25:00. > :25:08.game seemingly heading for a draw, the pressure finally told. Batshuayi
:25:09. > :25:13.with the crucial touch. The substitute has barely played this
:25:14. > :25:17.season, now he scored the goal to sealed the title. This is how much
:25:18. > :25:23.it meant to manager Antonio Conte. Chelsea were champions once again.
:25:24. > :25:26.It has rarely been in doubt, but this, a moment to savour for a
:25:27. > :25:33.reunited team and their coach in his debut season. From the moment he
:25:34. > :25:36.arrived in England last year, the Italian has been an animated and
:25:37. > :25:41.passionate presence on the touchline but, having been top of the table
:25:42. > :25:46.for months, his team's March towards the title has been calm and assured.
:25:47. > :25:50.Every single player is playing to their potential, everybody from
:25:51. > :25:54.goalkeeper to centre forward, and when the squad players come in, they
:25:55. > :25:58.also perform at a very high level. So what you can see there is that
:25:59. > :26:03.Antonio Conte has created a culture of achievement, one of competition,
:26:04. > :26:09.but healthy competition, and the players have delivered. Winchelsea
:26:10. > :26:12.and Watford at Stamford Bridge on Monday, they and their fans will be
:26:13. > :26:16.able to celebrate a second Premier League triumph in three seasons,
:26:17. > :26:21.re-establishing this club is the dominant force in the English game.
:26:22. > :26:25.When you consider what went on here last season, it's an achievement
:26:26. > :26:28.that shouldn't be underestimated. Jose Mourinho was sacked after a
:26:29. > :26:35.Celtic defence of the title, the club finishing tenth. -- after a
:26:36. > :26:39.chaotic defence. Chelsea hired Conte but had to wait until after the
:26:40. > :26:46.Euros. There were one or two big signings, Antonio Conte, the Player
:26:47. > :26:48.of the Year, but the new coach has largely transformed an
:26:49. > :26:56.underperforming squad. It's not easy to adapt new methods and new
:26:57. > :27:03.philosophies, and also to work very hard, to change totally your work.
:27:04. > :27:08.If you compare the work of the season and the past. And there could
:27:09. > :27:14.yet be more success. Conte is also guided Chelsea to the FA Cup final.
:27:15. > :27:16.Other managers may have grabbed more headlines and created more
:27:17. > :27:17.controversy, but the Italian has eclipsed them all.
:27:18. > :27:25.At the start of the season, all the talk was about Pep Guardiola against
:27:26. > :27:30.Jose Mourinho, the two big Manchester clubs, and it's dead is
:27:31. > :27:35.Antonio Conte's Chelsea who have prevailed, with two games to spare.
:27:36. > :27:39.-- instead it is Antonio Conte this isn't like Leicester City. After
:27:40. > :27:43.all, Chelsea are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world and
:27:44. > :27:51.this is the fifth title triumph of the Roman Abramovich era. But this
:27:52. > :27:55.represents a real turnaround in fortunes and one senses that this
:27:56. > :27:57.could be a double winning season and then next big challenge for the
:27:58. > :27:59.champions again as well. The international art festival
:28:00. > :28:01.the Venice Biennale opens tomorrow and some artists have decided
:28:02. > :28:03.to challenge the customary idea of countries having
:28:04. > :28:05.their own national pavilions This year there are pavilions
:28:06. > :28:08.for imaginary countries, complete with their own unusual form
:28:09. > :28:16.of passport control. The whole point of the Venice
:28:17. > :28:18.Biennale is for countries across the world to have their own
:28:19. > :28:21.national pavilion in which they proudly present the work
:28:22. > :28:25.of one of their artists. But the notion of art belonging
:28:26. > :28:28.to nation states is becoming an increasingly anachronistic
:28:29. > :28:30.concept for many artists and curators, some of whom have set
:28:31. > :28:34.up alternative pavilions, such as NSK State, an imaginary
:28:35. > :28:37.country which we are all welcome to come along and join,
:28:38. > :28:42.although they have made it a bit This is a state without rules
:28:43. > :28:46.or regulations, rights or responsibilities -
:28:47. > :28:49.although citizens do need to get You've got to do all the boring
:28:50. > :28:56.admin stuff and hand over your fee to a passport officer,
:28:57. > :28:58.who, in this instance, is a migrant seeking
:28:59. > :29:01.a European passport. So, in a way, the power dynamic
:29:02. > :29:05.is being turned on its head. You then go up this moving stair
:29:06. > :29:09.to an elevated office, where you come along and hopefully
:29:10. > :29:15.pick up your authorised passport. And then there is the Diaspora
:29:16. > :29:20.Pavilion, showing the work of predominantly non-white British
:29:21. > :29:24.artists, which is challenging the very notion of nationhood,
:29:25. > :29:27.arguing that a multicultural society needs a fresh approach
:29:28. > :29:29.to established ideas It's about what is
:29:30. > :29:36.represented by the nation. For us, that terrain or that
:29:37. > :29:39.definition has to change. We feel diaspora is really
:29:40. > :29:42.much more appropriate, to talk about fluid communities
:29:43. > :29:46.and diversity within the UK, For some countries, though,
:29:47. > :29:50.those that maybe feel marginalised or misunderstood,
:29:51. > :29:54.Biennale offers a public platform Venice becomes even more important
:29:55. > :29:59.for a country like Iraq, that can participate because it's
:30:00. > :30:04.allowed to - you know, as a national pavilion,
:30:05. > :30:07.as defunct as that notion may be. It's one of the few
:30:08. > :30:11.venues available. These antiquities from
:30:12. > :30:12.the Iraq Museum form Some have never left
:30:13. > :30:16.the country before. Others were looted after
:30:17. > :30:18.the fall of Saddam Hussein. They represent both traditional
:30:19. > :30:21.craft and contemporary politics, like much of the work at this year's
:30:22. > :30:24.Biennale. Now on BBC One, it's time
