The fallout from Friday's global cyber attack continues -

:00:00.:00:07.

with 11 NHS Trusts in England still reporting problems.

:00:08.:00:11.

The advice to patients - turn up for an appointment

:00:12.:00:13.

but some Trusts have really struggled.

:00:14.:00:19.

It became clear it was almost engulfing the organisation.

:00:20.:00:22.

almost 2,000 of our 6,000 PCs out of action.

:00:23.:00:29.

But there are questions about whether warnings

:00:30.:00:31.

that the NHS is vulnerable to attack were ignored.

:00:32.:00:34.

Theresa May promises the biggest growth in workers' rights

:00:35.:00:39.

of any Tory government - if her party wins the election.

:00:40.:00:43.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn pledges the NHS will receive

:00:44.:00:46.

an extra ?37 billion by 2022 if it wins in June.

:00:47.:00:53.

His first full day as French President -

:00:54.:01:00.

Emmanuel Macron's diary includes choosing a Prime Minister

:01:01.:01:02.

And why the sky's the limit for Verdun Hayes, aged 101.

:01:03.:01:06.

I woke up this morning one of the happiest men in the world.

:01:07.:01:42.

Good afternoon, and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:43.:01:45.

The government's emergency committee, Cobra,

:01:46.:01:47.

is to meet to discuss Friday's cyber-attack,

:01:48.:01:50.

which hit NHS trusts across the country.

:01:51.:01:52.

11 Trusts in England are still experiencing problems.

:01:53.:01:56.

Patients have been urged to turn up for appointments

:01:57.:01:58.

The head of Microsoft has said the attack should be treated

:01:59.:02:03.

as a "wake-up call" - and, here, questions are growing

:02:04.:02:05.

about whether the government had adequately prepared the NHS

:02:06.:02:08.

For our first report, let's go to our correspondent Danny Savage,

:02:09.:02:13.

First impressions here at York today was that everything is fairly

:02:14.:02:27.

normal. The car park is busy. Many people coming and going to their

:02:28.:02:31.

outpatient appointments, but then when you look around a little

:02:32.:02:35.

closer, you can see that lots of computers are still switched off

:02:36.:02:39.

with warning signs on them not to be touched. Things are far from normal

:02:40.:02:43.

in there. It's got a lot better since Friday, but there are still

:02:44.:02:47.

problems across the system at the moment. York is typical of many

:02:48.:02:53.

hospitals across England today. A large number of computers are still

:02:54.:02:58.

unusable after Friday's cyber attack. Leading to lots of pen and

:02:59.:03:04.

paper administration. But the message to most patients is to turn

:03:05.:03:09.

up as planned. Everybody is getting written down as having appointments.

:03:10.:03:12.

Hopefully, they will send the appointment out when they get them.

:03:13.:03:19.

Did it slow things down? No, they were professional about it. They did

:03:20.:03:24.

well. It must be a nightmare for them. I asked my GP, because I was

:03:25.:03:29.

referred from the surgery. What was that advice? To go down as normal.

:03:30.:03:36.

As time goes on, more and more computers are up and running again.

:03:37.:03:41.

It feels like business as usual, although the staff would say

:03:42.:03:46.

otherwise. Once it became clear it was almost engulfing the

:03:47.:03:51.

organisation, at the last count we had 2000 of our 6000 PCs out of

:03:52.:03:57.

action. That is quite disabling for clinical services. Further south in

:03:58.:04:03.

Lincolnshire it is a different story. The United Lincolnshire

:04:04.:04:06.

Hospitals trust says work is ongoing to restore the IT systems.

:04:07.:04:20.

That has left patients like Steve expecting results on tests for

:04:21.:04:28.

cancer still wondering about his diagnosis. I suppose it is because

:04:29.:04:33.

the NHS hasn't spent sufficient money on IT safeguards that we are

:04:34.:04:42.

in the state we are in. The bottom line is, there's only one person who

:04:43.:04:50.

is going to suffer, and that is the tens of thousands like me. There are

:04:51.:04:55.

clearly wide variations between hospitals. Over just how badly they

:04:56.:05:03.

were hit and how quickly they are recovering from the cyber attack.

:05:04.:05:07.

The fallout will be far reaching and uncomfortable for some. It's

:05:08.:05:10.

difficult to know why, but some of the theories are that some of those

:05:11.:05:14.

trusts might have been using old equipment and software. It has been

:05:15.:05:19.

a very stressful few days. And patients alike in the NHS. It has

:05:20.:05:25.

highlighted the system's dependency on computers, and what needs to be

:05:26.:05:30.

done to prevent another meltdown. This is all about catching up now,

:05:31.:05:34.

because some patients have had their appointments cancelled and will have

:05:35.:05:39.

to be rescheduled. Others, as you heard in my report, have not been

:05:40.:05:42.

able to schedule an appointment in the future because the computer

:05:43.:05:47.

systems are not up and running to do that. A lot of administration will

:05:48.:05:50.

have to be caught up on to get things back to normal. But people

:05:51.:05:55.

are coming through the doors and getting their treatment, although

:05:56.:05:59.

it's still quite severe in one or two places.

:06:00.:05:59.

Thank you. In the last few minutes,

:06:00.:06:03.

the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, What is the latest today, and what

:06:04.:06:13.

is being done? This morning, I have been briefed by GCHQ and the

:06:14.:06:19.

National Cyber Security Centre, and according to our latest

:06:20.:06:23.

intelligence, we have not seen a second wave of attacks, and the

:06:24.:06:29.

level of criminal activity is at the lower end of the range that we had

:06:30.:06:35.

anticipated, so I think that is encouraging. But the message is very

:06:36.:06:39.

clear, not just for organisations like the NHS, but for private

:06:40.:06:43.

individuals and businesses, although we have never seen anything on this

:06:44.:06:48.

scale when it comes to ransomware attacks, there done they are

:06:49.:06:52.

relatively common, and there are things all of us can do to protect

:06:53.:06:58.

ourselves, in particular make sure our data is properly backed up, and

:06:59.:07:04.

make sure we are using the software patches, the antivirus patches that

:07:05.:07:08.

are sent out regularly by manufacturers. These are things we

:07:09.:07:12.

can all do to reduce the risk of the impact we have seen over the last 48

:07:13.:07:14.

hours. The President of Microsoft,

:07:15.:07:16.

Brad Smith, has been highly critical of the US National Security Agency,

:07:17.:07:19.

saying it should have notified them when it found serious software

:07:20.:07:22.

flaws in their systems. And in the UK, the National Crime

:07:23.:07:24.

Agency is warning victims not to give in to ransom demands -

:07:25.:07:27.

as there's no guarantee they'll Our technology correspondent,

:07:28.:07:30.

Rory Cellan-Jones, reports. Experts say this cyber attack was

:07:31.:07:46.

unprecedented. It was able to affect vulnerable computer systems, and in

:07:47.:07:49.

how it spread across the globe, hitting major public bodies like the

:07:50.:07:55.

NHS, but also individual users and several large multinational

:07:56.:07:58.

companies. The attack was thwarted with what has been described as a

:07:59.:08:03.

master kill switch before it could spread further, but companies that

:08:04.:08:08.

specialise in cyber security say further incidents are almost

:08:09.:08:12.

inevitable. I would say phase one is over, but I would wager there are

:08:13.:08:17.

more phases to come, both in terms of this attack, making sure

:08:18.:08:21.

companies are not vulnerable to this kind of malware, but also secondary

:08:22.:08:25.

attacks. People need to be aware of that possibility. With hundreds of

:08:26.:08:32.

thousands of victims in more than 150 countries, Microsoft, which

:08:33.:08:36.

makes the operating systems that were targeted, says government

:08:37.:08:39.

should treat the attack as a wake-up call. It criticised bodies such as

:08:40.:08:45.

the CIA for developing and stockpiling stuck where that could

:08:46.:08:50.

be exploited by hackers. Microsoft president Brad Smith said that

:08:51.:08:56.

information in the hands of governments have leaked into the

:08:57.:08:59.

public domain and caused widespread damage.

:09:00.:09:05.

This is an area that involves both the government and the private

:09:06.:09:12.

sector, and there are number of programmes where they need to work

:09:13.:09:17.

together. Some of those are national critical infrastructure. As we look

:09:18.:09:22.

at everything from financial markets to travel, transportation, and the

:09:23.:09:26.

grid itself. Those affected by the hack was faced with an on-screen

:09:27.:09:34.

demand for payment of $300, about ?250, in the virtual currency

:09:35.:09:38.

Bitcoin. The National crime agency warned victims not to pay any

:09:39.:09:44.

ransom, saying the recovery of files could not be guaranteed, although

:09:45.:09:48.

there is evidence that some targeted individuals are indeed paying up.

:09:49.:09:53.

The attack has exposed the inherent weakness of an interconnected world,

:09:54.:09:58.

increasingly reliant on computer systems that are not properly

:09:59.:10:02.

protected or updated, the digital equivalent of a global flu epidemic,

:10:03.:10:07.

but much more sinister, and potentially much more expensive.

:10:08.:10:10.

Let's get more on this now with our technology correspondent,

:10:11.:10:12.

Rory Cellan-Jones, in Central London.

:10:13.:10:13.

We heard there from the National Cyber Security Centre -

:10:14.:10:16.

There are some serious questions for them. They are supposed to be the

:10:17.:10:27.

early warning system for bodies like the NHS. I wanted to know whether

:10:28.:10:33.

the NHS had been warned about the specific danger. I got an answer

:10:34.:10:36.

that there were general warnings about keeping the software

:10:37.:10:39.

up-to-date, but the key thing we have learned today from Microsoft is

:10:40.:10:45.

that they believe this was all due to something effectively cooked up

:10:46.:10:49.

by America's National Security Agency in their labs, and then it

:10:50.:10:52.

was somehow leaked onto the Internet. These hackers used it.

:10:53.:10:58.

That raises all sorts of questions about governments' responsibility to

:10:59.:11:02.

tell companies if they find this sort of responsibility. The National

:11:03.:11:07.

Security Agency in America works closely with GCHQ, which is in

:11:08.:11:11.

charge of the National Cyber Security Centre, so I wanted to know

:11:12.:11:14.

whether they had known about this danger long in advance, and whether

:11:15.:11:18.

they had done enough to warn NHS Trust about it. I don't think I got

:11:19.:11:23.

a clear answer about that. Thank you very much.

:11:24.:11:25.

All the party leaders are out on the campaign trail today,

:11:26.:11:28.

with Theresa May promising the biggest expansion

:11:29.:11:30.

of workers' rights by any Conservative Government -

:11:31.:11:32.

if her party wins the general election.

:11:33.:11:33.

The Tory manifesto will include commitments on protecting pensions,

:11:34.:11:36.

giving workers more say in the boardroom, and giving people

:11:37.:11:39.

the right to a year's unpaid leave to care for a relative.

:11:40.:11:42.

Here's our political correspondent, Iain Watson.

:11:43.:11:50.

Up the workers, Power to the people. Not phrases you would think would

:11:51.:11:58.

fall easily from Theresa May's lips. But listen to this. We are

:11:59.:12:03.

announcing the biggest ever enhancement of workers' rights by a

:12:04.:12:07.

Conservative government. She chose to announce this at a company that

:12:08.:12:11.

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

:12:12.:12:17.

National Living Wage will continue to rise in line with earnings.

:12:18.:12:21.

People will be able to request time off to care for a relative. And we

:12:22.:12:30.

want to support and encourage return ships. Today, I am at a fantastic

:12:31.:12:33.

organisation that helps people who have taken time out of work to look

:12:34.:12:37.

after children to get the skills to get back into the workplace. So

:12:38.:12:41.

employees would be able to take time off to look after relatives, but it

:12:42.:12:46.

would be unpaid. She would also introduce a right for bereaved

:12:47.:12:50.

parents to take leave, and after Brexit, she is pledging to protect

:12:51.:12:54.

the rights workers enjoy as part of the EU. She is also signalling she

:12:55.:12:59.

will help people who are not insecure employment, but specific

:13:00.:13:09.

proposals await the result of review. Some say they are worried

:13:10.:13:11.

about the effect of the new rights and regulations on them. A big

:13:12.:13:15.

company might be able to absorb people going off for a year if they

:13:16.:13:19.

need to, but for smaller companies, that is a significant chunk of their

:13:20.:13:24.

workforce in that one person. And they may be quite specialised, and

:13:25.:13:27.

it might be difficult to get someone in to replace them on a temporary

:13:28.:13:34.

contract. Theresa May is making a land grab for former Labour voters

:13:35.:13:40.

who have gone over to Ukip. She is also subtly rebranding her party, no

:13:41.:13:45.

longer led by an old Etonian. She claiming they can address the

:13:46.:13:48.

concerns of people right across the country. Labour's manifesto will

:13:49.:13:56.

include a 20 point plan for workers' rights, from a higher minimum wage

:13:57.:14:02.

to banning zero hours contracts. But some suggest that Theresa May's

:14:03.:14:08.

record on this suggests she cannot be trusted. Zero-hour contracts,

:14:09.:14:13.

employment tribunal fees, and the Trade Union Act, the most pernicious

:14:14.:14:18.

anti-worker legislation in the last century. At worst, it is more Tory

:14:19.:14:28.

lies. Privately, some of her own MPs say they are worried she is shifting

:14:29.:14:30.

too far Labour's direction. Meanwhile, Labour is promising

:14:31.:14:33.

an extra ?37 billion for the NHS in England over the next

:14:34.:14:36.

five years, if it wins power. Jeremy Corbyn told a nursing

:14:37.:14:39.

conference in Liverpool that the Conservatives have driven

:14:40.:14:41.

the Health Service "into crisis". More details from our assistant

:14:42.:14:44.

political editor, Norman Smith. Under pressure, with waiting targets

:14:45.:15:08.

slipping and A sitting, team Corbyn are convinced that the health

:15:09.:15:13.

service remains a big vote winner for them. A warm welcome for Mr

:15:14.:15:17.

Corbyn today from the nurses union, and no wonder, with Labour promising

:15:18.:15:23.

an extra ?37 billion, money to take a million patients of waiting lists.

:15:24.:15:29.

Our health service is being dismantled by stealth. Over the past

:15:30.:15:34.

seven years, our national health this has been driven into crisis

:15:35.:15:38.

after crisis. A departments struggling to cope, waiting lists

:15:39.:15:44.

soaring, and we saw last week the Tory cuts have exposed patients

:15:45.:15:51.

services to cyber attack. Labour are also to set more targets for

:15:52.:15:56.

hospitals. A departments will have to see most serious cases within an

:15:57.:16:01.

hour. Cancer patients will have to be seen within four weeks, and

:16:02.:16:06.

Labour will reintroduce a strict 18 week limit for waiting times. But

:16:07.:16:11.

our nurses confident Labour can deliver? He has made some really

:16:12.:16:15.

important commitments to the NHS which we have been waiting a long

:16:16.:16:20.

time to hear. He has promised to legislate on safe staffing, to

:16:21.:16:25.

dedicate a minister to mental health. These are important pledges

:16:26.:16:30.

that we look forward to seeing, if he becomes Prime Minister. The

:16:31.:16:35.

Liberal Democrats also unveiled plans today to end the pay cap on

:16:36.:16:36.

NHS staff. If you undervalue nurses and

:16:37.:16:48.

midwives and professionals, don't be surprised if they leave the

:16:49.:16:52.

profession, if they find themselves, as we discovered only a few weeks

:16:53.:16:56.

ago, members of the nursing profession accessing food banks. It

:16:57.:17:02.

feeds into the narrative of this Conservative government treating

:17:03.:17:09.

nurses like dirt. Despite the extra cash on offer from the opposition

:17:10.:17:14.

parties, with an ageing population, there's still massive pressure on

:17:15.:17:19.

the NHS. That won't change whoever wins this election, with spending

:17:20.:17:25.

watchdog warning that the Health Service faces a ?56 million back

:17:26.:17:27.

hole by 2020. Our assistant political editor,

:17:28.:17:32.

Norman Smith, is in Liverpool. Two very different campaigns taking

:17:33.:17:41.

shape today, Theresa May trying to make something of a land grab? How

:17:42.:17:49.

often at elections have we heard Labour politicians warning of the

:17:50.:17:53.

NHS in crisis, 24 hours to save the NHS. Today, we had Mr Corbyn's

:17:54.:17:59.

version, which was that the NHS was being plundered and broken up, if

:18:00.:18:04.

Mrs May won the election. This is core territory for the Labour Party

:18:05.:18:09.

when it comes to an election, citing the NHS as their big issue to

:18:10.:18:13.

galvanise and motivate their own supporters. Mrs May, on the other

:18:14.:18:19.

hand, taking a very unTory approach, coming forward with a package of

:18:20.:18:23.

employment rights, which has delighted some and alarmed others in

:18:24.:18:27.

the business community, who fear it will mean more red tape, trying to

:18:28.:18:32.

reach out beyond her natural supporters. I think it tells us

:18:33.:18:36.

about the state of the two campaigns, with four weeks to go.

:18:37.:18:41.

Labour on the defensive, if the polls are to be believed, trying to

:18:42.:18:45.

shore up their core vote. Mrs May, on the other hand, confident, with

:18:46.:18:49.

some Tories even suggesting a possible landslide, now trying to

:18:50.:18:54.

reach out well beyond traditional Tory voters. I think it shows how

:18:55.:18:58.

both campaigns are focused around the individual leaders. Jeremy

:18:59.:19:07.

Corbyn with his long-standing views on taxing business, and Mrs May,

:19:08.:19:11.

with her own distinctive, unusual form of conservatism, leading some

:19:12.:19:13.

to dub her a red Tory. Scotland's First Minister,

:19:14.:19:19.

Nicola Sturgeon, has said an SNP victory in the general election

:19:20.:19:22.

in Scotland the Scottish Government be included

:19:23.:19:24.

at the Brexit negotiating table. Our Scotland correspondent,

:19:25.:19:28.

Catriona Renton, is in Hamilton now, where the First Minister has been

:19:29.:19:31.

campaigning this morning. And the rain didn't dampen the

:19:32.:19:43.

enthusiasm of the campaigners, when Nicola Sturgeon came here earlier.

:19:44.:19:49.

This is one of those seats that the party took last time around when

:19:50.:19:52.

they made those massive gains, and they were here today to shore up

:19:53.:19:57.

that support. On the agenda, Brexit, 62% of Scots having voted to remain.

:19:58.:20:05.

As a result, Nicola Sturgeon asked the Prime Minister to accept a

:20:06.:20:09.

package of proposals for Scotland to stay in the single market. She said

:20:10.:20:12.

Theresa May dismissed this out of hand. This general election is

:20:13.:20:17.

another opportunity to get this back on the agenda. She says if the SNP

:20:18.:20:21.

win a majority this time around, that would put her in a position to

:20:22.:20:26.

ask for a mandate to be at the top table in Brexit negotiations.

:20:27.:20:32.

Earlier today, she visited a project just down the road which deals with

:20:33.:20:34.

families and young children. Well, if people vote

:20:35.:20:37.

SNP in this election, it gives me a mandate to demand that

:20:38.:20:42.

Scotland is represented in the UK negotiating team,

:20:43.:20:44.

that our interests are central That matters because jobs,

:20:45.:20:47.

living standards and investment will be affected by the outcome

:20:48.:20:50.

of these Brexit negotiations, and we've seen, before these

:20:51.:20:52.

elections, Theresa May dismiss out of hand sensible, compromised

:20:53.:20:54.

proposals that the Scottish Government put forward

:20:55.:20:56.

to protect our place But this election gives people

:20:57.:20:58.

the opportunity to give these And that was Scotland's First

:20:59.:21:01.

Minister, Nicola Sturgeon. cyber attack continues,

:21:02.:21:17.

with 11 NHS trusts in England And still to come - the 101-year-old

:21:18.:21:22.

D-Day veteran who is now Andy Murray would no doubt

:21:23.:21:26.

like to celebrate turning 30 today with a return to form in time

:21:27.:21:33.

for the Italian Open this week. But the world number one says

:21:34.:21:36.

he isn't massively into birthdays. Throughout the general election

:21:37.:21:47.

campaign, we're going to be taking an in-depth look at some

:21:48.:21:49.

of the topics most important to you, and hearing from our

:21:50.:21:52.

specialist editors. Today, we're focusing

:21:53.:21:54.

on the economy. Our economics editor,

:21:55.:21:56.

Kamal Ahmed, has been assessing It was James Carville,

:21:57.:21:58.

Bill Clinton's election adviser, who, when asked what won elections,

:21:59.:22:05.

had a pretty simple answer - And that's probably

:22:06.:22:08.

still true today. I think for voters, there are big

:22:09.:22:14.

issues around living standards, and that income squeeze,

:22:15.:22:17.

which have pretty much been with us The problem for politicians

:22:18.:22:20.

is that issues like that are not easy to solve -

:22:21.:22:25.

there are no easy headlines. The political parties may trade

:22:26.:22:30.

promises on taxes, on pensions, on energy price caps,

:22:31.:22:37.

on making an economy which works for all,

:22:38.:22:38.

and not just for the privileged few. Yes, those are important issues,

:22:39.:22:42.

but there is a big issue of substance which underlines

:22:43.:22:44.

all of them, and that's, How do we make sure

:22:45.:22:50.

that work is rewarding? They don't sound that sexy -

:22:51.:22:56.

productivity, economic growth - but they are absolutely vital

:22:57.:23:04.

to the future of thte country, now, just like in every

:23:05.:23:06.

other general election. As Kamal said, a key

:23:07.:23:14.

group is those suffering That's voters who,

despite being in work, Our personal finance correspondent

:23:17.:23:21.

Simon Gompertz has been to meet a middle income family in Kent

:23:22.:23:24.

to find out how they are coping. One family at breakfast, middle

:23:25.:23:38.

income yet struggling. Food prices, energy, the house getting to work,

:23:39.:23:42.

and childcare. For the mother of the family, this is financial survival

:23:43.:23:51.

in Britain today. How tricky is it, how much do you have leftover? We

:23:52.:24:01.

have nothing left over. The average wage of a single person is ?26,000.

:24:02.:24:06.

This family brings in 45,000, but that is two earners, one full-time,

:24:07.:24:14.

one part-time. It means second-hand clothes and toys, telling old things

:24:15.:24:18.

on eBay, like so many households, looking after the pennies. If you

:24:19.:24:23.

look at your income is, people around the country will say you are

:24:24.:24:26.

lucky? Yeah. I think it depends where you live. On paper, we should

:24:27.:24:32.

be fine, but once you start listing all of the things we have to pay

:24:33.:24:36.

for, the bills and expenses, it's just endless. First, there was

:24:37.:24:44.

squeezed middle, now, those just about managing. However you describe

:24:45.:24:52.

it, it is people who are doing the right thing but their income just

:24:53.:24:55.

isn't quite enough. These are Catherine's big bills...

:24:56.:25:09.

Leaving ziro for holidays and a feeling that things are not about to

:25:10.:25:18.

change there is an election coming, do you think anything will actually

:25:19.:25:22.

change? I am sceptical. It would be lovely if it did but I think we are

:25:23.:25:27.

all going to fall into the category of people who are not struggling to

:25:28.:25:32.

match, they can make ends meet, but there is no extra money. Nothing

:25:33.:25:36.

special here, just another family getting on with it, but it is an

:25:37.:25:37.

uphill struggle. In his first full day in office,

:25:38.:25:41.

the new French President, Emmanuel Macron, is expected

:25:42.:25:44.

to name his Prime Minister and to visit the German Chancellor,

:25:45.:25:46.

Angela Merkel, in Berlin. Mrs Merkel said this morning

:25:47.:25:48.

that she wished to bring "dynamism" into the European project

:25:49.:25:51.

with the new French President. Our correspondent

:25:52.:25:53.

Mark Lowen is in Paris. Who is the front runner for Prime

:25:54.:25:59.

Minister? Well, we are five minutes away from the announcement. It is a

:26:00.:26:03.

closely guarded secret, but the name everybody is talking about is

:26:04.:26:10.

Edouard Philippe, the Mayor of Le Havre in Normandy. He is a keen

:26:11.:26:13.

amateur boxer, and importantly, he is from the right wing Republican

:26:14.:26:18.

party, which would feed into Mr Macron's narrative of bridging the

:26:19.:26:25.

political division here. His immediate priority will be to try to

:26:26.:26:31.

win a Parliamentary majority for Mr Macron's newborn political party in

:26:32.:26:37.

elections next month. Later today, the new president will go to Berlin

:26:38.:26:41.

for talks with Angela Merkel, the traditional first stop for the

:26:42.:26:46.

French president. It is also a sign of Mr Macron's passionately

:26:47.:26:51.

pro-European policy. He will be looking to reform relationships with

:26:52.:26:55.

Germany and also to reform the EU. Then he will turn back to France and

:26:56.:26:59.

try and reduce unemployment and reform the public sector here.

Essex Police have spent the morning searching a block of garages

:27:04.:27:06.

in Thurrock for the body of a schoolgirl who went

:27:07.:27:08.

Danielle Jones was 15 when she was abducted

:27:09.:27:14.

Our correspondent Nick Beake reports.

:27:15.:27:21.

When Danielle disappeared in 2001, it led to a huge police

:27:22.:27:30.

investigation, and a desperate appeal from the family. I am so

:27:31.:27:35.

desperate to get her back. But the teenager was never seen again. A

:27:36.:27:40.

year later, her uncle, Stuart Campbell, was jailed for her

:27:41.:27:44.

abduction and murder, even though Danielle's body was never found.

:27:45.:27:49.

Today, though, the search continued in this quiet street in Thurrock.

:27:50.:27:54.

Specialist teams began looking inside some garages. Essex Police

:27:55.:28:01.

say they are acting on what they call new and credible information.

:28:02.:28:06.

But it has not, from Stuart Campbell full stop for 16 years, he has

:28:07.:28:09.

refused to tell detectives what happened to his niece, and he has

:28:10.:28:14.

refused to say where her body is. Essex Police have revealed they did

:28:15.:28:18.

receive a tip-off about this location when Danielle first went

:28:19.:28:21.

missing, although it was not one of the 1000 garages they searched. The

:28:22.:28:27.

officer now leading the operation has not yet worked out why. There

:28:28.:28:32.

was some similar information, not identical, but really our priority

:28:33.:28:38.

this week is to make sure we do everything we can to reunite

:28:39.:28:41.

Danielle with her family. Danielle Jones's parents have been told about

:28:42.:28:46.

today's search. They say they hope it will bring some of the answers

:28:47.:28:48.

they have been waiting for all these years.

:28:49.:28:56.

A 101-year-old war veteran has become the oldest person in the

:28:57.:29:05.

world to complete a sky Dave. He jumped 15,000ft from the plane along

:29:06.:29:08.

with three generations of his family. Keeping Britain's oldest --

:29:09.:29:15.

he became Britain's oldest skydiver when he was 100. That was not

:29:16.:29:22.

enough. Yesterday, Verdun Hayes took on the world and won. He only needed

:29:23.:29:26.

to jump from 10,000ft for the record, but he went for 15,000ft,

:29:27.:29:31.

and he wasn't alone. Four generations in one plane. Well done!

:29:32.:29:44.

Congratulations! Hooray! You have done it, Verdun! Well done! How are

:29:45.:29:50.

you feeling? Absolutely over the moon! What a job! Today, his

:29:51.:29:58.

achievement was starting to sink in. I slept very well indeed, and I woke

:29:59.:30:05.

up this morning the happiest man in the world. Without any shadow of

:30:06.:30:13.

doubt. It was wonderful. It was amazing, such a privilege, my great

:30:14.:30:18.

grand dad, my grand dad and my dad, it was amazing. How does it feel for

:30:19.:30:21.

you to know that your great grand dad is a world record-holder? I

:30:22.:30:28.

can't believe it, my mates can't believe it. But he is still not

:30:29.:30:33.

putting his feet up. I want to do something extraordinary again next

:30:34.:30:39.

year, providing my health, and the doctor will give me a certificate to

:30:40.:30:45.

say I am fit. I did think about moonwalking, and if that comes off,

:30:46.:30:49.

that would be the ultimate as far as I am concerned. So, wing walking

:30:50.:30:59.

next, but for today, he is content to have done his bit to bring

:31:00.:31:01.

Britain a new world record. Time for a look at the

:31:02.:31:04.

weather, with Jay Wynne. There is plenty of rain around, it

:31:05.:31:15.

has been captured quite nicely by some of our Weather Watchers. It has

:31:16.:31:20.

been coming down quite hard for some. This was in stature, not so

:31:21.:31:30.

long ago. Notice in the London area, very little rainfall. -- in

:31:31.:31:38.

Staffordshire. Those bright colours are indicating some pretty heavy

:31:39.:31:43.

downpours. There is a Met Office weather warnings in place in the

:31:44.:31:49.

south-east of Scotland. Northern Scotland, around the shores of the

:31:50.:31:53.

Moray Firth, it should be drying up. Not so on the eastern side of

:31:54.:31:59.

Scotland. Northern England also seeing a fair bit of cloud, with

:32:00.:32:05.

outbreaks of rain. Across England and Wales, despite the cloud and

:32:06.:32:10.

outbreaks of rain, it is quite warm for most places. But the minute he

:32:11.:32:19.

is also fairly high. There's plenty more rain to come overnight tonight.

:32:20.:32:28.

Notice the winds coming in from the south, and that's going to give us a

:32:29.:32:34.

very mild night. Quite warm start to the day on Tuesday. But it will also

:32:35.:32:46.

be quite breezy. This front will be moving its way southwards and

:32:47.:32:54.

eastwards during Tuesday. At the same time, that band of rain is

:32:55.:32:59.

moving with it. In the extreme south-east, it will be quite warm.

:33:00.:33:08.

Moving into Wynnstay, we do have some more wet weather from the

:33:09.:33:14.

south-west of England, up towards Yorkshire and all the way east of

:33:15.:33:22.

that. Heading into Thursday, that wet weather moves away towards the

:33:23.:33:30.

east. The air bill becoming from around Iceland towards the end of

:33:31.:33:33.

the week, so it'll be feeling fresher.

:33:34.:33:39.

So, it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One, we now join
