:00:00. > :00:07.The fallout from Friday's global cyber attack continues -

:00:08. > :00:11.with 11 NHS Trusts in England still reporting problems.

:00:12. > :00:13.The advice to patients - turn up for an appointment

:00:14. > :00:19.but some Trusts have really struggled.

:00:20. > :00:22.It became clear it was almost engulfing the organisation.

:00:23. > :00:29.almost 2,000 of our 6,000 PCs out of action.

:00:30. > :00:31.But there are questions about whether warnings

:00:32. > :00:34.that the NHS is vulnerable to attack were ignored.

:00:35. > :00:39.Theresa May promises the biggest growth in workers' rights

:00:40. > :00:43.of any Tory government - if her party wins the election.

:00:44. > :00:46.Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn pledges the NHS will receive

:00:47. > :00:53.an extra ?37 billion by 2022 if it wins in June.

:00:54. > :01:00.His first full day as French President -

:01:01. > :01:02.Emmanuel Macron's diary includes choosing a Prime Minister

:01:03. > :01:06.And why the sky's the limit for Verdun Hayes, aged 101.

:01:07. > :01:42.I woke up this morning one of the happiest men in the world.

:01:43. > :01:45.Good afternoon, and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:46. > :01:47.The government's emergency committee, Cobra,

:01:48. > :01:50.is to meet to discuss Friday's cyber-attack,

:01:51. > :01:52.which hit NHS trusts across the country.

:01:53. > :01:56.11 Trusts in England are still experiencing problems.

:01:57. > :01:58.Patients have been urged to turn up for appointments

:01:59. > :02:03.The head of Microsoft has said the attack should be treated

:02:04. > :02:05.as a "wake-up call" - and, here, questions are growing

:02:06. > :02:08.about whether the government had adequately prepared the NHS

:02:09. > :02:13.For our first report, let's go to our correspondent Danny Savage,

:02:14. > :02:27.First impressions here at York today was that everything is fairly

:02:28. > :02:31.normal. The car park is busy. Many people coming and going to their

:02:32. > :02:35.outpatient appointments, but then when you look around a little

:02:36. > :02:39.closer, you can see that lots of computers are still switched off

:02:40. > :02:43.with warning signs on them not to be touched. Things are far from normal

:02:44. > :02:47.in there. It's got a lot better since Friday, but there are still

:02:48. > :02:53.problems across the system at the moment. York is typical of many

:02:54. > :02:58.hospitals across England today. A large number of computers are still

:02:59. > :03:04.unusable after Friday's cyber attack. Leading to lots of pen and

:03:05. > :03:09.paper administration. But the message to most patients is to turn

:03:10. > :03:12.up as planned. Everybody is getting written down as having appointments.

:03:13. > :03:19.Hopefully, they will send the appointment out when they get them.

:03:20. > :03:24.Did it slow things down? No, they were professional about it. They did

:03:25. > :03:29.well. It must be a nightmare for them. I asked my GP, because I was

:03:30. > :03:36.referred from the surgery. What was that advice? To go down as normal.

:03:37. > :03:41.As time goes on, more and more computers are up and running again.

:03:42. > :03:46.It feels like business as usual, although the staff would say

:03:47. > :03:51.otherwise. Once it became clear it was almost engulfing the

:03:52. > :03:57.organisation, at the last count we had 2000 of our 6000 PCs out of

:03:58. > :04:03.action. That is quite disabling for clinical services. Further south in

:04:04. > :04:06.Lincolnshire it is a different story. The United Lincolnshire

:04:07. > :04:20.Hospitals trust says work is ongoing to restore the IT systems.

:04:21. > :04:28.That has left patients like Steve expecting results on tests for

:04:29. > :04:33.cancer still wondering about his diagnosis. I suppose it is because

:04:34. > :04:42.the NHS hasn't spent sufficient money on IT safeguards that we are

:04:43. > :04:50.in the state we are in. The bottom line is, there's only one person who

:04:51. > :04:55.is going to suffer, and that is the tens of thousands like me. There are

:04:56. > :05:03.clearly wide variations between hospitals. Over just how badly they

:05:04. > :05:07.were hit and how quickly they are recovering from the cyber attack.

:05:08. > :05:10.The fallout will be far reaching and uncomfortable for some. It's

:05:11. > :05:14.difficult to know why, but some of the theories are that some of those

:05:15. > :05:19.trusts might have been using old equipment and software. It has been

:05:20. > :05:25.a very stressful few days. And patients alike in the NHS. It has

:05:26. > :05:30.highlighted the system's dependency on computers, and what needs to be

:05:31. > :05:34.done to prevent another meltdown. This is all about catching up now,

:05:35. > :05:39.because some patients have had their appointments cancelled and will have

:05:40. > :05:42.to be rescheduled. Others, as you heard in my report, have not been

:05:43. > :05:47.able to schedule an appointment in the future because the computer

:05:48. > :05:50.systems are not up and running to do that. A lot of administration will

:05:51. > :05:55.have to be caught up on to get things back to normal. But people

:05:56. > :05:59.are coming through the doors and getting their treatment, although

:06:00. > :05:59.it's still quite severe in one or two places.

:06:00. > :06:03.Thank you. In the last few minutes,

:06:04. > :06:13.the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, What is the latest today, and what

:06:14. > :06:19.is being done? This morning, I have been briefed by GCHQ and the

:06:20. > :06:23.National Cyber Security Centre, and according to our latest

:06:24. > :06:29.intelligence, we have not seen a second wave of attacks, and the

:06:30. > :06:35.level of criminal activity is at the lower end of the range that we had

:06:36. > :06:39.anticipated, so I think that is encouraging. But the message is very

:06:40. > :06:43.clear, not just for organisations like the NHS, but for private

:06:44. > :06:48.individuals and businesses, although we have never seen anything on this

:06:49. > :06:52.scale when it comes to ransomware attacks, there done they are

:06:53. > :06:58.relatively common, and there are things all of us can do to protect

:06:59. > :07:04.ourselves, in particular make sure our data is properly backed up, and

:07:05. > :07:08.make sure we are using the software patches, the antivirus patches that

:07:09. > :07:12.are sent out regularly by manufacturers. These are things we

:07:13. > :07:14.can all do to reduce the risk of the impact we have seen over the last 48

:07:15. > :07:16.hours. The President of Microsoft,

:07:17. > :07:19.Brad Smith, has been highly critical of the US National Security Agency,

:07:20. > :07:22.saying it should have notified them when it found serious software

:07:23. > :07:24.flaws in their systems. And in the UK, the National Crime

:07:25. > :07:27.Agency is warning victims not to give in to ransom demands -

:07:28. > :07:30.as there's no guarantee they'll Our technology correspondent,

:07:31. > :07:46.Rory Cellan-Jones, reports. Experts say this cyber attack was

:07:47. > :07:49.unprecedented. It was able to affect vulnerable computer systems, and in

:07:50. > :07:55.how it spread across the globe, hitting major public bodies like the

:07:56. > :07:58.NHS, but also individual users and several large multinational

:07:59. > :08:03.companies. The attack was thwarted with what has been described as a

:08:04. > :08:08.master kill switch before it could spread further, but companies that

:08:09. > :08:12.specialise in cyber security say further incidents are almost

:08:13. > :08:17.inevitable. I would say phase one is over, but I would wager there are

:08:18. > :08:21.more phases to come, both in terms of this attack, making sure

:08:22. > :08:25.companies are not vulnerable to this kind of malware, but also secondary

:08:26. > :08:32.attacks. People need to be aware of that possibility. With hundreds of

:08:33. > :08:36.thousands of victims in more than 150 countries, Microsoft, which

:08:37. > :08:39.makes the operating systems that were targeted, says government

:08:40. > :08:45.should treat the attack as a wake-up call. It criticised bodies such as

:08:46. > :08:50.the CIA for developing and stockpiling stuck where that could

:08:51. > :08:56.be exploited by hackers. Microsoft president Brad Smith said that

:08:57. > :08:59.information in the hands of governments have leaked into the

:09:00. > :09:05.public domain and caused widespread damage.

:09:06. > :09:12.This is an area that involves both the government and the private

:09:13. > :09:17.sector, and there are number of programmes where they need to work

:09:18. > :09:22.together. Some of those are national critical infrastructure. As we look

:09:23. > :09:26.at everything from financial markets to travel, transportation, and the

:09:27. > :09:34.grid itself. Those affected by the hack was faced with an on-screen

:09:35. > :09:38.demand for payment of $300, about ?250, in the virtual currency

:09:39. > :09:44.Bitcoin. The National crime agency warned victims not to pay any

:09:45. > :09:48.ransom, saying the recovery of files could not be guaranteed, although

:09:49. > :09:53.there is evidence that some targeted individuals are indeed paying up.

:09:54. > :09:58.The attack has exposed the inherent weakness of an interconnected world,

:09:59. > :10:02.increasingly reliant on computer systems that are not properly

:10:03. > :10:07.protected or updated, the digital equivalent of a global flu epidemic,

:10:08. > :10:10.but much more sinister, and potentially much more expensive.

:10:11. > :10:12.Let's get more on this now with our technology correspondent,

:10:13. > :10:13.Rory Cellan-Jones, in Central London.

:10:14. > :10:16.We heard there from the National Cyber Security Centre -

:10:17. > :10:27.There are some serious questions for them. They are supposed to be the

:10:28. > :10:33.early warning system for bodies like the NHS. I wanted to know whether

:10:34. > :10:36.the NHS had been warned about the specific danger. I got an answer

:10:37. > :10:39.that there were general warnings about keeping the software

:10:40. > :10:45.up-to-date, but the key thing we have learned today from Microsoft is

:10:46. > :10:49.that they believe this was all due to something effectively cooked up

:10:50. > :10:52.by America's National Security Agency in their labs, and then it

:10:53. > :10:58.was somehow leaked onto the Internet. These hackers used it.

:10:59. > :11:02.That raises all sorts of questions about governments' responsibility to

:11:03. > :11:07.tell companies if they find this sort of responsibility. The National

:11:08. > :11:11.Security Agency in America works closely with GCHQ, which is in

:11:12. > :11:14.charge of the National Cyber Security Centre, so I wanted to know

:11:15. > :11:18.whether they had known about this danger long in advance, and whether

:11:19. > :11:23.they had done enough to warn NHS Trust about it. I don't think I got

:11:24. > :11:25.a clear answer about that. Thank you very much.

:11:26. > :11:28.All the party leaders are out on the campaign trail today,

:11:29. > :11:30.with Theresa May promising the biggest expansion

:11:31. > :11:32.of workers' rights by any Conservative Government -

:11:33. > :11:33.if her party wins the general election.

:11:34. > :11:36.The Tory manifesto will include commitments on protecting pensions,

:11:37. > :11:39.giving workers more say in the boardroom, and giving people

:11:40. > :11:42.the right to a year's unpaid leave to care for a relative.

:11:43. > :11:50.Here's our political correspondent, Iain Watson.

:11:51. > :11:58.Up the workers, Power to the people. Not phrases you would think would

:11:59. > :12:03.fall easily from Theresa May's lips. But listen to this. We are

:12:04. > :12:07.announcing the biggest ever enhancement of workers' rights by a

:12:08. > :12:11.Conservative government. She chose to announce this at a company that

:12:12. > :12:17.helps women get back into work, and she set out some of the detail. The

:12:18. > :12:21.National Living Wage will continue to rise in line with earnings.

:12:22. > :12:30.People will be able to request time off to care for a relative. And we

:12:31. > :12:33.want to support and encourage return ships. Today, I am at a fantastic

:12:34. > :12:37.organisation that helps people who have taken time out of work to look

:12:38. > :12:41.after children to get the skills to get back into the workplace. So

:12:42. > :12:46.employees would be able to take time off to look after relatives, but it

:12:47. > :12:50.would be unpaid. She would also introduce a right for bereaved

:12:51. > :12:54.parents to take leave, and after Brexit, she is pledging to protect

:12:55. > :12:59.the rights workers enjoy as part of the EU. She is also signalling she

:13:00. > :13:09.will help people who are not insecure employment, but specific

:13:10. > :13:11.proposals await the result of review. Some say they are worried

:13:12. > :13:15.about the effect of the new rights and regulations on them. A big

:13:16. > :13:19.company might be able to absorb people going off for a year if they

:13:20. > :13:24.need to, but for smaller companies, that is a significant chunk of their

:13:25. > :13:27.workforce in that one person. And they may be quite specialised, and

:13:28. > :13:34.it might be difficult to get someone in to replace them on a temporary

:13:35. > :13:40.contract. Theresa May is making a land grab for former Labour voters

:13:41. > :13:45.who have gone over to Ukip. She is also subtly rebranding her party, no

:13:46. > :13:48.longer led by an old Etonian. She claiming they can address the

:13:49. > :13:56.concerns of people right across the country. Labour's manifesto will

:13:57. > :14:02.include a 20 point plan for workers' rights, from a higher minimum wage

:14:03. > :14:08.to banning zero hours contracts. But some suggest that Theresa May's

:14:09. > :14:13.record on this suggests she cannot be trusted. Zero-hour contracts,

:14:14. > :14:18.employment tribunal fees, and the Trade Union Act, the most pernicious

:14:19. > :14:28.anti-worker legislation in the last century. At worst, it is more Tory

:14:29. > :14:30.lies. Privately, some of her own MPs say they are worried she is shifting

:14:31. > :14:33.too far Labour's direction. Meanwhile, Labour is promising

:14:34. > :14:36.an extra ?37 billion for the NHS in England over the next

:14:37. > :14:39.five years, if it wins power. Jeremy Corbyn told a nursing

:14:40. > :14:41.conference in Liverpool that the Conservatives have driven

:14:42. > :14:44.the Health Service "into crisis". More details from our assistant

:14:45. > :15:08.political editor, Norman Smith. Under pressure, with waiting targets

:15:09. > :15:13.slipping and A sitting, team Corbyn are convinced that the health

:15:14. > :15:17.service remains a big vote winner for them. A warm welcome for Mr

:15:18. > :15:23.Corbyn today from the nurses union, and no wonder, with Labour promising

:15:24. > :15:29.an extra ?37 billion, money to take a million patients of waiting lists.

:15:30. > :15:34.Our health service is being dismantled by stealth. Over the past

:15:35. > :15:38.seven years, our national health this has been driven into crisis

:15:39. > :15:44.after crisis. A departments struggling to cope, waiting lists

:15:45. > :15:51.soaring, and we saw last week the Tory cuts have exposed patients

:15:52. > :15:56.services to cyber attack. Labour are also to set more targets for

:15:57. > :16:01.hospitals. A departments will have to see most serious cases within an

:16:02. > :16:06.hour. Cancer patients will have to be seen within four weeks, and

:16:07. > :16:11.Labour will reintroduce a strict 18 week limit for waiting times. But

:16:12. > :16:15.our nurses confident Labour can deliver? He has made some really

:16:16. > :16:20.important commitments to the NHS which we have been waiting a long

:16:21. > :16:25.time to hear. He has promised to legislate on safe staffing, to

:16:26. > :16:30.dedicate a minister to mental health. These are important pledges

:16:31. > :16:35.that we look forward to seeing, if he becomes Prime Minister. The

:16:36. > :16:36.Liberal Democrats also unveiled plans today to end the pay cap on

:16:37. > :16:48.NHS staff. If you undervalue nurses and

:16:49. > :16:52.midwives and professionals, don't be surprised if they leave the

:16:53. > :16:56.profession, if they find themselves, as we discovered only a few weeks

:16:57. > :17:02.ago, members of the nursing profession accessing food banks. It

:17:03. > :17:09.feeds into the narrative of this Conservative government treating

:17:10. > :17:14.nurses like dirt. Despite the extra cash on offer from the opposition

:17:15. > :17:19.parties, with an ageing population, there's still massive pressure on

:17:20. > :17:25.the NHS. That won't change whoever wins this election, with spending

:17:26. > :17:27.watchdog warning that the Health Service faces a ?56 million back

:17:28. > :17:32.hole by 2020. Our assistant political editor,

:17:33. > :17:41.Norman Smith, is in Liverpool. Two very different campaigns taking

:17:42. > :17:49.shape today, Theresa May trying to make something of a land grab? How

:17:50. > :17:53.often at elections have we heard Labour politicians warning of the

:17:54. > :17:59.NHS in crisis, 24 hours to save the NHS. Today, we had Mr Corbyn's

:18:00. > :18:04.version, which was that the NHS was being plundered and broken up, if

:18:05. > :18:09.Mrs May won the election. This is core territory for the Labour Party

:18:10. > :18:13.when it comes to an election, citing the NHS as their big issue to

:18:14. > :18:19.galvanise and motivate their own supporters. Mrs May, on the other

:18:20. > :18:23.hand, taking a very unTory approach, coming forward with a package of

:18:24. > :18:27.employment rights, which has delighted some and alarmed others in

:18:28. > :18:32.the business community, who fear it will mean more red tape, trying to

:18:33. > :18:36.reach out beyond her natural supporters. I think it tells us

:18:37. > :18:41.about the state of the two campaigns, with four weeks to go.

:18:42. > :18:45.Labour on the defensive, if the polls are to be believed, trying to

:18:46. > :18:49.shore up their core vote. Mrs May, on the other hand, confident, with

:18:50. > :18:54.some Tories even suggesting a possible landslide, now trying to

:18:55. > :18:58.reach out well beyond traditional Tory voters. I think it shows how

:18:59. > :19:07.both campaigns are focused around the individual leaders. Jeremy

:19:08. > :19:11.Corbyn with his long-standing views on taxing business, and Mrs May,

:19:12. > :19:13.with her own distinctive, unusual form of conservatism, leading some

:19:14. > :19:19.to dub her a red Tory. Scotland's First Minister,

:19:20. > :19:22.Nicola Sturgeon, has said an SNP victory in the general election

:19:23. > :19:24.in Scotland the Scottish Government be included

:19:25. > :19:28.at the Brexit negotiating table. Our Scotland correspondent,

:19:29. > :19:31.Catriona Renton, is in Hamilton now, where the First Minister has been

:19:32. > :19:43.campaigning this morning. And the rain didn't dampen the

:19:44. > :19:49.enthusiasm of the campaigners, when Nicola Sturgeon came here earlier.

:19:50. > :19:52.This is one of those seats that the party took last time around when

:19:53. > :19:57.they made those massive gains, and they were here today to shore up

:19:58. > :20:05.that support. On the agenda, Brexit, 62% of Scots having voted to remain.

:20:06. > :20:09.As a result, Nicola Sturgeon asked the Prime Minister to accept a

:20:10. > :20:12.package of proposals for Scotland to stay in the single market. She said

:20:13. > :20:17.Theresa May dismissed this out of hand. This general election is

:20:18. > :20:21.another opportunity to get this back on the agenda. She says if the SNP

:20:22. > :20:26.win a majority this time around, that would put her in a position to

:20:27. > :20:32.ask for a mandate to be at the top table in Brexit negotiations.

:20:33. > :20:34.Earlier today, she visited a project just down the road which deals with

:20:35. > :20:37.families and young children. Well, if people vote

:20:38. > :20:42.SNP in this election, it gives me a mandate to demand that

:20:43. > :20:44.Scotland is represented in the UK negotiating team,

:20:45. > :20:47.that our interests are central That matters because jobs,

:20:48. > :20:50.living standards and investment will be affected by the outcome

:20:51. > :20:52.of these Brexit negotiations, and we've seen, before these

:20:53. > :20:54.elections, Theresa May dismiss out of hand sensible, compromised

:20:55. > :20:56.proposals that the Scottish Government put forward

:20:57. > :20:58.to protect our place But this election gives people

:20:59. > :21:01.the opportunity to give these And that was Scotland's First

:21:02. > :21:17.Minister, Nicola Sturgeon. cyber attack continues,

:21:18. > :21:22.with 11 NHS trusts in England And still to come - the 101-year-old

:21:23. > :21:26.D-Day veteran who is now Andy Murray would no doubt

:21:27. > :21:33.like to celebrate turning 30 today with a return to form in time

:21:34. > :21:36.for the Italian Open this week. But the world number one says

:21:37. > :21:47.he isn't massively into birthdays. Throughout the general election

:21:48. > :21:49.campaign, we're going to be taking an in-depth look at some

:21:50. > :21:52.of the topics most important to you, and hearing from our

:21:53. > :21:54.specialist editors. Today, we're focusing

:21:55. > :21:56.on the economy. Our economics editor,

:21:57. > :21:58.Kamal Ahmed, has been assessing It was James Carville,

:21:59. > :22:05.Bill Clinton's election adviser, who, when asked what won elections,

:22:06. > :22:08.had a pretty simple answer - And that's probably

:22:09. > :22:14.still true today. I think for voters, there are big

:22:15. > :22:17.issues around living standards, and that income squeeze,

:22:18. > :22:20.which have pretty much been with us The problem for politicians

:22:21. > :22:25.is that issues like that are not easy to solve -

:22:26. > :22:30.there are no easy headlines. The political parties may trade

:22:31. > :22:37.promises on taxes, on pensions, on energy price caps,

:22:38. > :22:38.on making an economy which works for all,

:22:39. > :22:42.and not just for the privileged few. Yes, those are important issues,

:22:43. > :22:44.but there is a big issue of substance which underlines

:22:45. > :22:50.all of them, and that's, How do we make sure

:22:51. > :22:56.that work is rewarding? They don't sound that sexy -

:22:57. > :23:04.productivity, economic growth - but they are absolutely vital

:23:05. > :23:06.to the future of thte country, now, just like in every

:23:07. > :23:14.other general election. As Kamal said, a key

:23:15. > :23:16.group is those suffering That's voters who,

:23:17. > :23:21.despite being in work, Our personal finance correspondent

:23:22. > :23:24.Simon Gompertz has been to meet a middle income family in Kent

:23:25. > :23:38.to find out how they are coping. One family at breakfast, middle

:23:39. > :23:42.income yet struggling. Food prices, energy, the house getting to work,

:23:43. > :23:51.and childcare. For the mother of the family, this is financial survival

:23:52. > :24:01.in Britain today. How tricky is it, how much do you have leftover? We

:24:02. > :24:06.have nothing left over. The average wage of a single person is ?26,000.

:24:07. > :24:14.This family brings in 45,000, but that is two earners, one full-time,

:24:15. > :24:18.one part-time. It means second-hand clothes and toys, telling old things

:24:19. > :24:23.on eBay, like so many households, looking after the pennies. If you

:24:24. > :24:26.look at your income is, people around the country will say you are

:24:27. > :24:32.lucky? Yeah. I think it depends where you live. On paper, we should

:24:33. > :24:36.be fine, but once you start listing all of the things we have to pay

:24:37. > :24:44.for, the bills and expenses, it's just endless. First, there was

:24:45. > :24:52.squeezed middle, now, those just about managing. However you describe

:24:53. > :24:55.it, it is people who are doing the right thing but their income just

:24:56. > :25:09.isn't quite enough. These are Catherine's big bills...

:25:10. > :25:18.Leaving ziro for holidays and a feeling that things are not about to

:25:19. > :25:22.change there is an election coming, do you think anything will actually

:25:23. > :25:27.change? I am sceptical. It would be lovely if it did but I think we are

:25:28. > :25:32.all going to fall into the category of people who are not struggling to

:25:33. > :25:36.match, they can make ends meet, but there is no extra money. Nothing

:25:37. > :25:37.special here, just another family getting on with it, but it is an

:25:38. > :25:41.uphill struggle. In his first full day in office,

:25:42. > :25:44.the new French President, Emmanuel Macron, is expected

:25:45. > :25:46.to name his Prime Minister and to visit the German Chancellor,

:25:47. > :25:48.Angela Merkel, in Berlin. Mrs Merkel said this morning

:25:49. > :25:51.that she wished to bring "dynamism" into the European project

:25:52. > :25:53.with the new French President. Our correspondent

:25:54. > :25:59.Mark Lowen is in Paris. Who is the front runner for Prime

:26:00. > :26:03.Minister? Well, we are five minutes away from the announcement. It is a

:26:04. > :26:10.closely guarded secret, but the name everybody is talking about is

:26:11. > :26:13.Edouard Philippe, the Mayor of Le Havre in Normandy. He is a keen

:26:14. > :26:18.amateur boxer, and importantly, he is from the right wing Republican

:26:19. > :26:25.party, which would feed into Mr Macron's narrative of bridging the

:26:26. > :26:31.political division here. His immediate priority will be to try to

:26:32. > :26:37.win a Parliamentary majority for Mr Macron's newborn political party in

:26:38. > :26:41.elections next month. Later today, the new president will go to Berlin

:26:42. > :26:46.for talks with Angela Merkel, the traditional first stop for the

:26:47. > :26:51.French president. It is also a sign of Mr Macron's passionately

:26:52. > :26:55.pro-European policy. He will be looking to reform relationships with

:26:56. > :26:59.Germany and also to reform the EU. Then he will turn back to France and

:27:00. > :27:03.try and reduce unemployment and reform the public sector here.

:27:04. > :27:06.Essex Police have spent the morning searching a block of garages

:27:07. > :27:08.in Thurrock for the body of a schoolgirl who went

:27:09. > :27:14.Danielle Jones was 15 when she was abducted

:27:15. > :27:21.Our correspondent Nick Beake reports.

:27:22. > :27:30.When Danielle disappeared in 2001, it led to a huge police

:27:31. > :27:35.investigation, and a desperate appeal from the family. I am so

:27:36. > :27:40.desperate to get her back. But the teenager was never seen again. A

:27:41. > :27:44.year later, her uncle, Stuart Campbell, was jailed for her

:27:45. > :27:49.abduction and murder, even though Danielle's body was never found.

:27:50. > :27:54.Today, though, the search continued in this quiet street in Thurrock.

:27:55. > :28:01.Specialist teams began looking inside some garages. Essex Police

:28:02. > :28:06.say they are acting on what they call new and credible information.

:28:07. > :28:09.But it has not, from Stuart Campbell full stop for 16 years, he has

:28:10. > :28:14.refused to tell detectives what happened to his niece, and he has

:28:15. > :28:18.refused to say where her body is. Essex Police have revealed they did

:28:19. > :28:21.receive a tip-off about this location when Danielle first went

:28:22. > :28:27.missing, although it was not one of the 1000 garages they searched. The

:28:28. > :28:32.officer now leading the operation has not yet worked out why. There

:28:33. > :28:38.was some similar information, not identical, but really our priority

:28:39. > :28:41.this week is to make sure we do everything we can to reunite

:28:42. > :28:46.Danielle with her family. Danielle Jones's parents have been told about

:28:47. > :28:48.today's search. They say they hope it will bring some of the answers

:28:49. > :28:56.they have been waiting for all these years.

:28:57. > :29:05.A 101-year-old war veteran has become the oldest person in the

:29:06. > :29:08.world to complete a sky Dave. He jumped 15,000ft from the plane along

:29:09. > :29:15.with three generations of his family. Keeping Britain's oldest --

:29:16. > :29:22.he became Britain's oldest skydiver when he was 100. That was not

:29:23. > :29:26.enough. Yesterday, Verdun Hayes took on the world and won. He only needed

:29:27. > :29:31.to jump from 10,000ft for the record, but he went for 15,000ft,

:29:32. > :29:44.and he wasn't alone. Four generations in one plane. Well done!

:29:45. > :29:50.Congratulations! Hooray! You have done it, Verdun! Well done! How are

:29:51. > :29:58.you feeling? Absolutely over the moon! What a job! Today, his

:29:59. > :30:05.achievement was starting to sink in. I slept very well indeed, and I woke

:30:06. > :30:13.up this morning the happiest man in the world. Without any shadow of

:30:14. > :30:18.doubt. It was wonderful. It was amazing, such a privilege, my great

:30:19. > :30:21.grand dad, my grand dad and my dad, it was amazing. How does it feel for

:30:22. > :30:28.you to know that your great grand dad is a world record-holder? I

:30:29. > :30:33.can't believe it, my mates can't believe it. But he is still not

:30:34. > :30:39.putting his feet up. I want to do something extraordinary again next

:30:40. > :30:45.year, providing my health, and the doctor will give me a certificate to

:30:46. > :30:49.say I am fit. I did think about moonwalking, and if that comes off,

:30:50. > :30:59.that would be the ultimate as far as I am concerned. So, wing walking

:31:00. > :31:01.next, but for today, he is content to have done his bit to bring

:31:02. > :31:04.Britain a new world record. Time for a look at the

:31:05. > :31:15.weather, with Jay Wynne. There is plenty of rain around, it

:31:16. > :31:20.has been captured quite nicely by some of our Weather Watchers. It has

:31:21. > :31:30.been coming down quite hard for some. This was in stature, not so

:31:31. > :31:38.long ago. Notice in the London area, very little rainfall. -- in

:31:39. > :31:43.Staffordshire. Those bright colours are indicating some pretty heavy

:31:44. > :31:49.downpours. There is a Met Office weather warnings in place in the

:31:50. > :31:53.south-east of Scotland. Northern Scotland, around the shores of the

:31:54. > :31:59.Moray Firth, it should be drying up. Not so on the eastern side of

:32:00. > :32:05.Scotland. Northern England also seeing a fair bit of cloud, with

:32:06. > :32:10.outbreaks of rain. Across England and Wales, despite the cloud and

:32:11. > :32:19.outbreaks of rain, it is quite warm for most places. But the minute he

:32:20. > :32:28.is also fairly high. There's plenty more rain to come overnight tonight.

:32:29. > :32:34.Notice the winds coming in from the south, and that's going to give us a

:32:35. > :32:46.very mild night. Quite warm start to the day on Tuesday. But it will also

:32:47. > :32:54.be quite breezy. This front will be moving its way southwards and

:32:55. > :32:59.eastwards during Tuesday. At the same time, that band of rain is

:33:00. > :33:08.moving with it. In the extreme south-east, it will be quite warm.

:33:09. > :33:14.Moving into Wynnstay, we do have some more wet weather from the

:33:15. > :33:22.south-west of England, up towards Yorkshire and all the way east of

:33:23. > :33:30.that. Heading into Thursday, that wet weather moves away towards the

:33:31. > :33:33.east. The air bill becoming from around Iceland towards the end of

:33:34. > :33:39.the week, so it'll be feeling fresher.

:33:40. > :33:45.So, it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One, we now join
