Chelsea clinch the Premier League title. In Antonio Conte's first

season in charge. And coming up in Sportsday on BBC

News: Gloucester were hoping to win the first major trophy of the rugby

union club season in the final of the European Challenge Cup

against Stade Francais. The NHS has fallen victim

to a major cyberattack. 39 hospital trusts and GPs

in Scotland and across England have had to cancel routine operations,

send patients home The NHS says its services have been

targeted by a ransomware attack, which means NHS data is,

in effect, being held hostage Dozens of other facilities have

shut down their email and computer The scale of the cyberattack

on the NHS is unprecedented. It's been declared a major national

incident, disrupting hospitals and trusts from Glasgow,

Dumfries and Carlisle, Blackpool and York, to some

of the big teaching hospitals in London, and services

in the south of England. The Prime Minister says the incident

is part of a wider attack affecting It's thought 74 countries

have been affected. There was serious disruption in some

parts of the NHS today, with signs warning of significant

delays at A units and some GP All this the result

of the biggest cyber attack Some patients like Tom,

waiting for nonurgent surgery, were told their operations

had been postponed. It's inconvenient, very frustrating

for my fellow patients The nurses are absolutely fabulous,

and the doctors, and also I think it's a heinous crime,

this hacking, because they are Richard, who was due

to have an operation on his leg, was also told it

wouldn't happen today. It was disappointing,

because I've got all... They helped me, because I was a bit

nervous about it, so I'll have to go through it again,

I hope, not very long way. Laura, whose new baby arrived

yesterday, was delayed As a precaution, they were doing

all the paperwork on paper, their systems were down

because of all these Some patients going to

Colchester Hospital were told The gentleman just inside the door

said that all the computers have gone down and, "We're not sure

whether the doctors can see you, If it's x-rays or breakages

or whatever, they're It's happened before, at this

hospital trust covering North IT systems were closed

for three days as a result Hundreds of operations and patient

appointments were postponed. People were told to go to A

only if it was really necessary. There were warnings then that

NHS IT was vulnerable. And today, staff logging in at some

other hospitals found this on their screens,

with the message saying, If you want to recover them,

you need to pay up." Ransomware, a hidden programme used

by criminal hackers, was to blame. In a statement, NHS Digital,

responsible for IT, said... NHS England said it wanted

to reassure patients that, in the event of emergencies,

they should visit A as normal, but some GPs are warning

there will be disruption There will be referrals that GPs

have made this afternoon or wanted to make a referral that will now

have to be processed on Monday. Hoping that everything

is back up and running. And there will be a backlog

of things like repeat prescriptions, We'll have patients unable

to book future appointments and things this afternoon,

so there will be things that will give us a backlog from this,

depending on how long it The Prime Minister gave

the Government's response. It's an international

attack on a number of The National Cyber Security Centre

is working closely with NHS Digital to ensure that they support

the organisations concerned and that Some hospitals and GP surgeries

in Scotland have been caught up The Scottish Government,

like ministers at Westminster, and NHS leaders, will be trying

to assess the extent of the problem Well, similar ramsomware attacks

have been reported at organisations in 74 countries across the world,

including the US, China, Security analysts believe

the incidents are all linked. It looked at first like an attack

just an hospitals in the UK, but it's now becoming clear that this

malicious software has run riot Russia, the United States

and many points in between have been hit by what is now

a common form of cybercrime. It's become a tool of choice

for an awful lot of criminals simply because it's very easy to make

money very quickly. You can buy ransomware online

for as little as $39. At the top end of the market,

it comes with a lot of support and payment systems

to help you get your money. It often arrives in an innocuous

looking e-mail. You click it, the software is downloaded and spreads

through June at work, locking up the files on it. Then a message flashes

up on screens, warning that if you want your data on blogs, you will

have to pay a ransom, often in Bitcoin. The irony is that security

experts think a hacking tool allegedly leaked from America's

National Security Agency in April may have been used by the attackers

will stop Microsoft warned about the threat this vulnerability post, it

said anybody who had secured a security update the previous month

would be OK. The worry is that many health service computers may not

have been updated. The NHS is vulnerable, because it has not

invested enough in computer security, they use old systems, and

if they don't keep them patched, they will keep on getting hit by

attacks like this. The health service will point out it is one of

many organisations around the world that had by this attack. It now

faces what could be a lengthy process of cleaning up its computers

and making the network safe again. Our Health Editor Hugh Pym

is at the Department of Health. What's the likely

impact on patients? Presumably people are busy getting

the system back up and running? Officials here have been working

late this evening, Jeremy Hunt has been here, keeping in touch with NHS

leaders who have been trying to gather information from around the

system. It is a disparate system, trying to work out what is happening

takes time. It was a key hours before the centre could get any

information about how badly services were affected. There seems to be a

consensus that around 40 organisations have been affected, it

is not clear how many trusts, how many GP practices and other NHS

groups. There are more than 200 NHS bodies in England. The priority over

the weekend will be to try to help hospitals and other NHS facilities

stabilise their systems and try to get back to normal. There will be a

debate about how formal ball the NHS is, how much investment there has

been to avoid this sort of thing, that is one source said, that is a

question for another day, he priority now is to stabilise the

system. What about the disruption for patients? How badly will it

affect them? How likely's how long is this likely to go on? NHS leaders

are making clear that emergency care is there as normal for people who

need it, but when it comes to routine surgery Tom outpatient

appointments, quite a lot postponed today, it is likely that more will

be postponed on Monday and maybe Tuesday, which will create a backlog

which could run for some time, because the NHS is under such

pressure. GPs say they have been affect it in some areas, that will

affect appointments and prescriptions and so on. It is not

clear how long it will last, but almost certainly well beyond the

weekend. Jeremy Corbyn says the war on terror

isn't working and Britain In a speech outlining his foreign

policy, he said he wasn't a pacifist and could see circumstances

in which he would involve Britain in a war, but he warned

against what he called a "bomb Mr Corbyn accused Theresa May

of pandering to Donald Trump, who he said was making the world

a more-dangerous place. He's used to it now,

all the attention, and not always friendly, though

he still tries to be. Labour's campaign is so much

about Jeremy Corbyn, his character, ideas he's held dear for 30 years,

though some in his party wish And today the Labour leader

was holding to his oldest and deepest convictions,

writing off years of Britain's way The fact is that the war

on terror has been driven, which has driven these

interventions, has not succeeded. It has not increased

our security at home. In fact, many would say

just the opposite. But this, Britain's leader onside

and alongside with Donald Trump, More talking, less fighting, yes,

and a lot less cosiness Britain deserves better than simply

outsourcing our country's security and prosperity to the whims

of the Trump White House. A Labour Government

will conduct a robust In this election, it's become clear

that a vote for the Conservatives would be a vote to escalate the war

in Syria, risking military confrontation with Russia,

adding to the suffering of the Syrian people

and increasing global insecurity. The message - when facing terrorism,

time somehow to rely But what about Britain's nuclear

deterrent, and Jeremy Corbyn's lifelong opposition

to nuclear defence? For a potential Prime Minister,

it's become a nagging question, a live election issue,

and he knew it. I'm often asked if,

as Prime Minister, I would order It's an extraordinary question,

when you think about it. Would you order the indiscriminate

killing of millions of people? Would you risk such contamination

of the planet that no life could exist across large parts

of the world? He wanted nuclear defence

reconsidered, too. We cannot obviously decide

what a review would decide, otherwise you wouldn't

have a review. What do you say to supporters

of British military power, when it's not clear in what circumstances

you would ever order forces into battle, in or out of Nato,

and including strikes I doubt many, if any in this room

would have questioned the legitimacy ultimately of the Second World War

because of the catastrophe that had But controversy today

is about recent conflict. British air strikes on the so-called

Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, He is proud now that he joined

the marches against the Iraq invasion in 2003, a war which drove

down support for Today, he wanted British raids

against IS reviewed. We examine what they are doing

straightaway, examine what their presence is straightaway,

but above all, that fits into the whole point I'm saying,

that I would do everything I possibly could in order

to reignite the whole peace process. Political opponents,

out campaigning too, A Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn

would simply chuck away our ability I think that is crazy,

and it's not the way I want to go. We see defence policy sucking

in billions of pounds on Trident at a time when our conventional

defence forces have seen cut Approval for the leader's line

here today, but Labour needs Well, Theresa May was campaigning

in the north-east today, in an attempt to win over

Labour voters. And as Mr Corbyn was outlining

Labour's foreign-policy plans, Mrs May accused him of deserting

proud and patriotic What the Tories might expect,

a raw reception in much The Tories will ruin

our environment. Will the Conservatives

win around here? It is a small selection

of people canvassing for the Tories, we have a huge

following for the Labour. But inside, Theresa May believes

she can swell these polite ranks of her supporters,

trying to stir up national pride with talk of security and defence,

while slamming her Labour opponents, who have been in charge around

here for a long time. Proud and patriotically

working-class people in towns and cities across Britain have not

deserted the Labour Party, We respect that parents

and grandparents taught their children and grandchildren

that Labour was a party that shared their values and stood up

for their community. But across the country today,

traditional Labour supporters are increasingly looking

at what Jeremy Corbyn believes Can she really take

the Tories beyond small Look at the side of the bus to see

how they hope she will. Her name in giant letters,

you almost need a magnifying She may be well ahead in the polls,

but the Tory manifesto Just working life and what is

happening in this country, You will be voting for them

for the first time? Strong opinions on Brexit,

that is what I want to see, us standing alone and moving

forward that way. Getting on the road

in the north-east is part of a deliberate strategy,

not just to try to win, But however she travels,

and whatever the polls say today, shifting huge numbers of votes

in Labour territory is a hard sell. Theresa May has already been to more

than 20 Labour seats, including some here in the north-east that should

traditionally be safe as houses. The Tories say she is having

a positive message, but every day they are trying to display contrast

between her and Jeremy Corbyn, brutally trying to strip

away Labour's vote. You don't get anyone more important

than the Prime Minister! Convention suggests whole chunks

of the north of England, Scotland and Wales just are not safe

for the Conservatives. But Theresa May wants to persuade

you the country's future The Liberal Democrats have confirmed

they would legalise the sale The party would allow licensed

shops to sell the drug People would also be able to grow

cannabis at home and smoke A coroner has called for changes

in the way schools care for pupils with severe allergies after finding

that a 14-year-old boy who collapsed during a detention and later died

could have been saved The coroner said staff

at Nasar Ahmed's school in East London last November weren't

familiar with his condition and his medical kit contained

no instructions on how Nasar Ahmed loved maths and science

and wanted to be a politician. He also suffered from severe

asthma and food allergies. His family have heard in detail how

he came to die after having an extreme allergic reaction

to an ingredient in a curry he had A couple of hours after he had

eaten, he told staff There was confusion as to what might

be wrong and his personal It contained an adrenaline pen,

but there were no instructions as to how or when to use it,

so nobody did. The coroner concluded that

if the pen had been used promptly, and he had been administered

adrenaline, there is a possibility, but not a probability,

this would have changed the outcome. His family say the school let

them and their son down. They failed their care

of duty for my son. If they gave him the injection that

time, within five minutes, before the ambulance,

maybe that would have The school issued a statement today,

saying that following his death, "We rigorously reviewed

all of our safety procedures and are providing more training

for staff across the board." The coroner will be

writing several reports, including to his school,

in an effort to prevent She will also suggest

to the Chief Medical Officer in England that if the pens

were more widely available and President Trump has warned the man

he fired as the director of the FBI against talking to the media,

and suggested that there could be tape recordings

of their conversations. James Comey had been leading

an inquiry into possible collusion between Trump election

officials and Russia. Now the President has tweeted,

"James Comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversations

before he starts Well, our North American Editor Jon

Sopel is at the White House. Mr Trump has come out fighting

against his former FBI director with a threat and now a suggestion

that he may secretly be recording his conversations

at the White House. Yes, and those are the two things

that are utterly fascinating from an extraordinary week of kind of tumult

in Washington. It was just the tone of that tweet from the president

early this morning, suggesting to James Comey, you'd better keep your

mouth shut or else. And, you know, I'm sure it is pure coincidence that

this afternoon we've learned that James Comey, who had been invited to

testify before the intelligence committee next Tuesday, has declined

that invitation. More remarkable still is the suggestion there may be

some kind of secret recording devices in the White House where,

wherever you are, you are being recorded, because it may be that

there is a recording of a dinner that James Comey had with the

president shortly after Donald Trump took office. Inevitably, it was the

only question people wanted to ask that they's briefing with Sean

Spicer. Did President Trump

record his conversations with former FBI director,

Director Comey? I assume you are referring

to the tweet, and I've The President has nothing

further to add on that. Are there recording

devices in the Oval Office As I've said, for the third

time, there is nothing Does he think it's appropriate to

threaten somebody not to speak? That's not a threat, it's stating a

fact. Retweet speaks for itself. One reason it has been so chaotic in

Washington is that people stories have kept changing. White House

briefing people have said one thing, the president has contradicted the

few minutes later. This morning, the president tweeted that maybe the

answer that is to stop briefings altogether because it's hard to give

accurate information when things are changing so quickly. At the end of

this week, it's been a rare week of tumult and turbulence. And it's hard

to believe that the thunderclaps are over yet. This could go on for some

time yet. A brief look at some

of the day's other news stories. Police forces have warned

of an increase in the number of young people carrying knives

and other weapons in schools. They say that more than 2,500

weapons were seized in schools in England and Wales

in the past two years. The value of finance deals

used to buy new cars has ?3.5 billion of loans

were taken out in March, The Financial Conduct Authority has

said it will investigate whether there has been irresponsible

lending. The United States has

signed a number of trade agreements with China,

in an attempt by Washington to reduce its trade

deficit with Beijing. Among American firms

to benefit will be beef and natural-gas exporters,

plus big credit-card companies such Football, and Chelsea clinched

the Premier League title tonight with a 1-0 win at West Bromwich

Albion. It means they have their hands

on the trophy with two games to spare in what's been manager

Antonio Conte's first Our Sports Editor,

Dan Roan, reports. Glory was within their grasp.

Chelsea strolled to the title almost complete. West Brom have also

enjoyed their season, and victory at the hawthorns would have to be

earned. The visitors enjoyed the better chances but failed to break

down a stubborn defence in a cagey first half. There was added urgency

after the restart. Victor Moses denied by Ben Foster. Chelsea's

prostration beginning to show. In the final ten minutes, and with the

game seemingly heading for a draw, the pressure finally told. Batshuayi

with the crucial touch. The substitute has barely played this

season, now he scored the goal to sealed the title. This is how much

it meant to manager Antonio Conte. Chelsea were champions once again.

It has rarely been in doubt, but this, a moment to savour for a

reunited team and their coach in his debut season. From the moment he

arrived in England last year, the Italian has been an animated and

passionate presence on the touchline but, having been top of the table

for months, his team's March towards the title has been calm and assured.

Every single player is playing to their potential, everybody from

goalkeeper to centre forward, and when the squad players come in, they

also perform at a very high level. So what you can see there is that

Antonio Conte has created a culture of achievement, one of competition,

but healthy competition, and the players have delivered. Winchelsea

and Watford at Stamford Bridge on Monday, they and their fans will be

able to celebrate a second Premier League triumph in three seasons,

re-establishing this club is the dominant force in the English game.

When you consider what went on here last season, it's an achievement

that shouldn't be underestimated. Jose Mourinho was sacked after a

Celtic defence of the title, the club finishing tenth. -- after a

chaotic defence. Chelsea hired Conte but had to wait until after the

Euros. There were one or two big signings, Antonio Conte, the Player

of the Year, but the new coach has largely transformed an

underperforming squad. It's not easy to adapt new methods and new

philosophies, and also to work very hard, to change totally your work.

If you compare the work of the season and the past. And there could

yet be more success. Conte is also guided Chelsea to the FA Cup final.

Other managers may have grabbed more headlines and created more

controversy, but the Italian has eclipsed them all.

At the start of the season, all the talk was about Pep Guardiola against

Jose Mourinho, the two big Manchester clubs, and it's dead is

Antonio Conte's Chelsea who have prevailed, with two games to spare.

-- instead it is Antonio Conte this isn't like Leicester City. After

all, Chelsea are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world and

this is the fifth title triumph of the Roman Abramovich era. But this

represents a real turnaround in fortunes and one senses that this

could be a double winning season and then next big challenge for the

champions again as well. The international art festival

the Venice Biennale opens tomorrow and some artists have decided

to challenge the customary idea of countries having

their own national pavilions This year there are pavilions

for imaginary countries, complete with their own unusual form

of passport control. The whole point of the Venice

Biennale is for countries across the world to have their own

national pavilion in which they proudly present the work

of one of their artists. But the notion of art belonging

to nation states is becoming an increasingly anachronistic

concept for many artists and curators, some of whom have set

up alternative pavilions, such as NSK State, an imaginary

country which we are all welcome to come along and join,

although they have made it a bit This is a state without rules

or regulations, rights or responsibilities -

although citizens do need to get You've got to do all the boring

admin stuff and hand over your fee to a passport officer,

who, in this instance, is a migrant seeking

a European passport. So, in a way, the power dynamic

is being turned on its head. You then go up this moving stair

to an elevated office, where you come along and hopefully

pick up your authorised passport. And then there is the Diaspora

Pavilion, showing the work of predominantly non-white British

artists, which is challenging the very notion of nationhood,

arguing that a multicultural society needs a fresh approach

to established ideas It's about what is

represented by the nation. For us, that terrain or that

definition has to change. We feel diaspora is really

much more appropriate, to talk about fluid communities

and diversity within the UK, For some countries, though,

those that maybe feel marginalised or misunderstood,

Biennale offers a public platform Venice becomes even more important

for a country like Iraq, that can participate because it's

allowed to - you know, as a national pavilion,

as defunct as that notion may be. It's one of the few

venues available. These antiquities from

the Iraq Museum form Some have never left

the country before. Others were looted after

the fall of Saddam Hussein. They represent both traditional

craft and contemporary politics, like much of the work at this year's

Biennale. Now on BBC One, it's time

for the news where you are.
