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. | |

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, | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
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. | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
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 | :33:40. | :33:45. |
