Five NHS trusts are still experiencing serious

problems after yesterday's international cyber attack.

43 of the trusts affected in England and Scotland,

The attack on Friday caused ambulances to be diverted,

and numerous cancellations or delays in treatment.

The government's emergency committee COBRA has been meeting today,

chaired by the Home Secretary Amber Rudd.

It was news which shocked NHS staff and patients alike.

A cyber attack which shut down some GP systems.

Ron Grimshaw won't forget it in a hurry.

He was in the middle of having an MRI scan in hospital,

but it was abruptly halted and he'll have to go back another day.

As the nurse said, this is the very first time this has happened.

The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt was in a meeting of the government's

emergency committee COBRA along with the Home Secretary,

who denied there were weaknesses in NHS systems.

I don't believe it's to do with our preparedness.

There's always more we can all do to make sure we are secure

against viruses, but I think there had already been good

preparations in place by the NHS to make sure they were ready

In England, services at 48 NHS trusts, about a fifth

of the total have been affected, along with some GP surgeries.

In Scotland, 11 out of 14 health boards have felt the impact,

including hospitals and GP surgeries.

The Scottish Ambulance Service was also affected.

The NHS is now very much in the recovery phase,

so there is a great deal of work on going to get systems

Of course, every effort is being made to ensure any impact

on patient care is kept to an absolute minimum.

A small number of trusts, including Barts Health,

which runs the Royal London hospital is said to be still needing help

coping with the aftermath of the cyber attack.

The emergency department is open, but some ambulances are being

To get 2000 PCs back into commission will undoubtedly take a few days,

but we will be working all round the clock to do

At this hospital in Wigan, IT staff have been working

throughout the day to try to get systems fully operational.

I'm a little concerned because we don't know what will find

But I think we got sufficient understanding of the problem

and we can be very confident we can solve whatever does

Most of the English trusts hit by the attack have said to have

Emergency care is being provided across the NHS,

but there could still be more cancellations of routine surgery

In all, 99 countries across the world were affected

by the cyber attack, which the EU's serious

crime agency Europol, described as unprecedented.

Here, investigators have promised to do everything they can,

to catch those responsible, as our Home Affairs Correspondent

The cyber attack which wreaked such chaos in Britain's health service

Affecting Russia worst of all, but also countries as far apart

This evening, the two British agencies tackling it said a complex,

international investigation would be needed to catch the culprits.

We haven't identified the offenders, at this moment in time.

But we are deploying all covert and overt means available to us.

We have a number of lines of enquiry.

It's really important we pursue those quickly so we can reassure

the public we are taking this very seriously.

At the heart of this global cyber attack was a software worm

which spreads itself from computer to computer using code

originally designed by a US government spy agency.

It's called Wannacrypt and it simply encrypts all the files

on the infected computer and then demand a ransom.

on the infected computer and then demands a ransom.

By last night, at least 75,000 computers had been infected

At that point, a cyber security expert managed almost by chance

But all the data on the infected computers is still unusable

Any modern computer that had had its software

But some NHS trusts use old operating systems that

Others may have simply failed to take a security update in March.

Today, the national cyber Security Centre

The first one is to make sure your security software

The second is to employ proper, good antivirus software

and the third and the most important for ransomware protection

is back-up your data, because you can't be held to ransom

It's been a reminder of how vulnerable vital organisations

like health services are to attack by organised criminals seeking

to raise money or by hostile states and terrorist groups trying

The reality is, there are thousands of vulnerabilities

across all the different software applications that companies

So for example, if we were to look at a company of 50,000 computers,

we might find hundreds and thousands of open Bumrah abilities

we might find hundreds and thousands of open vulnerabilities

It's also a reminder that computers are not of one-off investment.

Jeremy Corbyn has denied, that some at the top

of the Labour Party, are already accepting defeat

It follows comments from his deputy Tom Watson,

that the Conservatives could be heading for a landslide victory.

Mr Corbyn said both he and Mr Watson were "working flat out" to get

Meanwhile, the former Labour Prime Minister, Gordon Brown,

urged voters not to give Theresa May "a blank cheque,"

Our political correspondent Ian Watson reports.

A former Prime Minister and a former Deputy Prime Minister enter

the fray to claim the Conservatives are waging a war on the poor.

You'd assume Gordon Brown might say the next Labour

In fact, his message was, don't give Theresa May too much power.

Mrs May's Britain will have more poverty and inequality

than even the property we saw in the Thatcher/Major years.

No Conservative Prime Minister should ever be given a free hand.

The party's deputy leader Tom Watson insisted he was determined to turn

round Labour's position in the polls, but also

He said, if we get to June the 8th and Theresa May still commands

a lead in the polls they had at the start of the election,

she'll command a Margaret Thatcher style majority.

As Labour MPs battle to get back here to Westminster,

we are now seeing, if you like, a tale of two campaigns.

The official one, emphasising what Labour would do in government

and an unofficial one, where some candidates

are telling me they are going beyond what Gordon Brown

and Tom Watson are saying, telling voters on the doorstep,

they are simply campaigning to become a stronger position.

And in some local leaflets like this, there's no

Instead, the whole emphasis was on reining in Theresa May.

Jeremy Corbyn wanted to keep his focus on the election issues.

He said he was working flat out for victory and rejected suggestions

that any of his colleagues were throwing in the towel.

Is it that senior Labour figures now are already admitting defeat?

I am out round the whole country, the party is out right

round the whole country putting out a message, we are a party

We will invest in our NHS, our education system.

We will protect our pensions and pensioners and we will ensure

there is an expanding economy that works for all.

So Jeremy Corbyn doesn't think he needs to shore up his support,

but he and his deputy leader both agreed the party faces a huge

challenge to turn the political tide before June the 8th.

The Liberal Democrats say their election manifesto

will include proposals to build 300,000 new homes a year,

The leader Tim Farron, also says developers who stockpile land

without building on it, would be penalised.

And Theresa May's been campaigning in Northern Ireland today.

She called on politicians there to work together

North Korea's reported to have launched another missile,

Japan's condemned the launch as a violation of UN resolutions.

More than 800 children and teenagers who'd lost a parent

while serving in the Armed Forces, have attended a garden party

They were welcomed by the Duke and Duchess

Among them was the widow and son of the Fusilier Lee Rigby,

who was murdered in a terror attack in 2013.

Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.

It's a very large garden accustomed to formal events

like garden parties, but it's the perfect place too

for a children's party, which is exactly what was happening

800 children had been invited to the Palace by the Duke

and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry for

One of them was Jack Rigby, the six-year-old son

of Fusilier Lee Rigby, murdered by extremists

It's a chance for the parents to meet each other and to know that

you're in a safe environment, you can ask advice off the other

parents, they've been through similar things

and at different points had to go through the same things you have,

the questions, the explanations of what has happened.

It is a fantastic opportunity for the parent and the children.

They met Prince Harry, who was demonstrating plate spinning.

The Royals joined in, posing for pictures and entertaining

the crowd, all of it with a serious message.

We, as a family, we as a nation, and we up and down the country,

will never ever forget about the sacrifices every single

An historic night for Saracens, they're European Champions

for a second successive year, beating French side Clermont

Patrick Gearey was watching at Murrayfield.

Edinburgh, city of performing arts. And the stage for a team that has

made performing its art. Saracens, European champions last year, back

to defend their title. Wherever Saracens go, their fans expect the

best. They are 17 games unbeaten in this competition, one much from the

record, one match from greatness. That status is earned on occasions

like this when the best drown out the surround sound. Chris Ashton

went down the runway. That made him the European cup's top try scorer.

Saracens were rampant and another try was coming. George Kruis was

forceful. Deja vu for those in blue. Clermont have lost 13 major finals,

but they had hoped. Saracens edged further ahead but Clermont were on

to something. They sent roars echoing into the middle of France.

One point in it. Alex Goode saw a chance, the man who created the

first try, scored the decisive one. Owen Farrell's mastery of John

Matri, improve the arithmetic. Job done, trophy one.
