:07:44. > :07:48.over the last couple of years over the years including previous attacks
:07:49. > :07:53.on NHS hospitals, this is by far the biggest we have seen, and the NHS is
:07:54. > :07:57.stressing that it was not specifically targeted, this is a
:07:58. > :08:04.wider attack, and I'm seeing evidence of that, one researcher

:08:50. > :08:55.VOICEOVER: He is used to it now, all the attention, and not always
:08:56. > :09:00.friendly, though he still tries to be. Don't push each other, OK.
:09:01. > :09:04.Labour's campaign is so much about Jeremy Corbyn, his character, his
:09:05. > :09:09.ideas, he has held here for 30 years, though some in his party
:09:10. > :09:13.which he had not, like defence, and the Labour leader today was holding
:09:14. > :09:19.to his oldest and deepest convictions, writing of years of
:09:20. > :09:24.Britain's way of war against terror. The war on terror has not succeeded,
:09:25. > :09:28.it has driven these interventions and it has not increased security at
:09:29. > :09:34.home, in fact, many would say, just the opposite. This, Britain's
:09:35. > :09:39.leader, on-site and alongside with Donald Trump, not Jeremy Corbyn's
:09:40. > :09:43.answer, more talking, less fighting, yes, and a lot less cosy and is with
:09:44. > :09:48.Washington if Jeremy Corbyn wins. We deserve better than simply
:09:49. > :09:53.outsourcing defence and prosperity to the whims of Donald Trump's White
:09:54. > :09:56.House, no more handholding with Donald Trump. A Labour government

:10:03. > :10:04.message, when facing terrorism, to rely on peace and diplomacy, but
:10:05. > :10:10.what about Britain's nuclear deterrent? And Jeremy Corbyn's
:10:11. > :10:15.lifelong opposition to nuclear defence, or potential Prime Minister
:10:16. > :10:19.that has become a nagging question, a live election issue, and he knew
:10:20. > :10:22.it. -- for a potential Prime Minister. I am often asked if I
:10:23. > :10:26.would order the use of nuclear weapons, it is an ordinary question
:10:27. > :10:30.when you think about it, would you order the indiscriminate killing of
:10:31. > :10:34.millions of people? Would you risk such contamination of the planet
:10:35. > :10:38.that no life could exist across large parts of the world? If
:10:39. > :10:42.circumstances arose where there was a real option, it would represent a
:10:43. > :10:46.complete and cataclysmic failure, it would mean world leaders have
:10:47. > :10:52.already triggered a spiral of catastrophe. That sounded like a no,

:10:56. > :11:00.decide what a review would decide otherwise we would not have a

:11:42. > :11:45.raids against IS reviewed. Examine what they are doing straightaway,
:11:46. > :11:48.and their presence, but above all, that fits into the whole point I am
:11:49. > :11:56.saying, I would do everything I possibly could in order to reignite
:11:57. > :11:59.the peace process. Some, not all Labour supporters, agree, others,
:12:00. > :12:06.very far from it. A Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn that would simply
:12:07. > :12:10.chuck away at ability to defend ourselves is crazy and not the way I

:12:34. > :12:37.in an attempt to win over Labour voters.
:12:38. > :12:41.She accused Jeremy Corbyn of deserting what she called
:12:42. > :12:44."proud and patriotic" working class people.

:12:51. > :12:53.Here's our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg.
:12:54. > :12:59.What the Tories might expect, a raw reception in much of the Northeast
:13:00. > :13:05.England. The Tories will ruin our environment. Can the Conservatives
:13:06. > :13:09.win around here, no! Definitely not! No chance! A very small selection of
:13:10. > :13:15.people canvassing for the Tories, we have a huge following for the
:13:16. > :13:20.Labour. Inside, Theresa May believes she can swell these polite ranks of
:13:21. > :13:24.her supporters, trying to stir up national pride, with talk of
:13:25. > :13:28.security, and defence, while slamming her Labour opponents, who
:13:29. > :13:33.have been in charge round here for a long time. Proud and patriotic
:13:34. > :13:38.working class people, in towns and cities across Britain, have not
:13:39. > :13:42.deserted the Labour Party, we respect the parents and grandparents
:13:43. > :13:45.taught their children and grandchildren that Labour was a
:13:46. > :13:52.party that share their values and stood up for their community. But
:13:53. > :13:54.across the country today, traditional Labour supporters are
:13:55. > :13:59.increasingly looking at what Jeremy Corbyn believes in, and are
:14:00. > :14:05.appalled. Beyond the attack lines, on safety and security, what might
:14:06. > :14:09.she do if she stays in charge? You have thought a lot about Patrick
:14:10. > :14:15.isn't today, would you think it patriotic to join the United States
:14:16. > :14:18.in more strikes against Syria, or will you rule out having a
:14:19. > :14:25.parliamentary vote on that? We are, as you know, the United Kingdom is
:14:26. > :14:28.part of the coalition that is operating in Syria and Iraq, with
:14:29. > :14:32.the United States, but with other countries as well, when I look at
:14:33. > :14:35.the decisions we will be taking in terms of defence and foreign policy,
:14:36. > :14:39.there is one thing that will drive the decisions, that those decisions
:14:40. > :14:44.will be taken in the British national interest. Not quite a no
:14:45. > :14:47.will stop and she really take the Tories beyond small pockets of the
:14:48. > :14:52.north-east? Look at the side of the bus to see how they hope. -- not
:14:53. > :14:57.quite a no. Her name in giant letters, you almost need a
:14:58. > :15:03.magnifying glass for the party. We will deliver for Britain. She may be
:15:04. > :15:09.well ahead in the polls, the Tory manifesto is not even published yet,
:15:10. > :15:13.how far can she really reach? I was Labour if you year ago, when I first
:15:14. > :15:16.started voting, but my views are changing, working life and what is
:15:17. > :15:19.happening in this world, in this country, my views are changing.
:15:20. > :15:26.INAUDIBLE QUESTION I haven't. You will be voting
:15:27. > :15:30.Conservative the first time? Yes, strong opinions on "Brexit", that
:15:31. > :15:33.has changed my mind, that is where I want to see the country go,
:15:34. > :15:36.stand-alone, move forward that way. Getting on the road in the
:15:37. > :15:41.north-east is part of a deliberate strategy, not just in trying to win,
:15:42. > :15:46.but in trying to pump up the majority. I've used virtually every
:15:47. > :15:50.form of transport you can think of in this election campaign, except
:15:51. > :15:54.horses. However she travels and whatever the polls say today,
:15:55. > :15:59.shifting huge numbers of votes in Labour territory is a hard sell.
:16:00. > :16:04.Theresa May has already been to more than 20 Labour seats, including some
:16:05. > :16:07.here in the north-east which should traditionally be safe as houses. The
:16:08. > :16:11.Tories say that she is selling a positive message, every day they are

:18:09. > :18:14.after having an extreme allergic reaction to an ingredient in a curry
:18:15. > :18:17.he had for lunch while at school. A couple of hours after Nasar had
:18:18. > :18:21.eaten, he told staff here that he couldn't breathe. There was
:18:22. > :18:25.confusion as to what might be wrong and his personal medical box was
:18:26. > :18:29.found. It contained an adrenaline injector pen, or EpiPen, but there
:18:30. > :18:34.were no instructions as to how or when to use it. So nobody did. The
:18:35. > :18:41.coroner concluded that if the EpiPen had been used promptly and Nasar had
:18:42. > :18:44.been administered adrenaline, there was a possibility but not a
:18:45. > :18:48.probability that this would have changed the outcome. Nasar died four

:19:13. > :19:17.his life. The school issued a statement today are saying following
:19:18. > :19:20.Nasar's death, we have reviewed safety procedures and are providing
:19:21. > :19:24.more training for staff across the board. The coroner will be writing
:19:25. > :19:30.several reports including to Nasar's School in an effort to prevent
:19:31. > :19:34.future deaths. She will also suggest to the Chief Medical Officer that if

:20:28. > :20:31.echoes of another president, Richard Nixon, who was brought down by those
:20:32. > :20:37.tapes. I am not sure that is the territory where Donald Trump wants
:20:38. > :20:40.to be. He is about to give a briefing, or his spokesman is about
:20:41. > :20:43.to give a briefing. He is bound to be asked, are you taping
:20:44. > :20:47.conversations with people who come to visit? Other things Donald Trump
:20:48. > :20:51.had to did this morning, and we have come to expect the unexpected, he
:20:52. > :20:55.said about the briefings, as a very active president with lots of things
:20:56. > :20:58.happening, it is not usable for my surrogates to stand at the podium
:20:59. > :21:02.with perfect accuracy. In other words, maybe what we are telling you
:21:03. > :21:06.is not strictly true. Then he goes on "But let's cancel the briefings,
:21:07. > :21:11.maybe, and we will just give you written statements in future". This
:21:12. > :21:14.all comes as Donald Trump has had some good news today on a trade deal
:21:15. > :21:19.with China. But all of that is getting completely lost in the
:21:20. > :21:23.threat that has been issued to his former head of the FBI. Jon Sopel at
:21:24. > :21:25.the White House, thank you. In the run-up to the general
:21:26. > :21:27.election, we've been asking you about the subjects that you care
:21:28. > :21:30.about and want covered. A lot of you have got in touch
:21:31. > :21:32.about business rates - the tax based on how much a business
:21:33. > :21:35.property is worth. Some independent shops in England
:21:36. > :21:37.are facing big increases after their property values
:21:38. > :21:39.were revalued by the government. Elaine Dunkley has been to Southwold
:21:40. > :21:48.in Suffolk to find out more. Business rates are a massive issue
:21:49. > :21:56.for small businesses. I'm Rebecca Bishop and I'm the owner
:21:57. > :22:02.of Two Magpies Bakery in Southwold. Nobody was foreseeing the massive
:22:03. > :22:05.increases that we were suddenly It is a really important
:22:06. > :22:17.issue because it's not just my business I'm thinking of,
:22:18. > :22:20.it's all the other Rebecca's bakery is classed
:22:21. > :22:23.as a small business. Her rates have been capped
:22:24. > :22:26.until April next year, but after that, she says she doesn't
:22:27. > :22:31.know what will happen. It will become just another nail
:22:32. > :22:34.in the coffin for businesses that are fighting, some
:22:35. > :22:38.of them, to survive. A lot of small independents,
:22:39. > :22:41.we're almost looking at a species wipe-out of whole areas that
:22:42. > :22:43.are just being overtaken Part of the problem is that property
:22:44. > :22:52.prices have gone up in the town. The locals say that's driven
:22:53. > :22:55.by holiday lets, second homes But we're looking
:22:56. > :23:11.forward to the summer. I'm the owner of Mills
:23:12. > :23:17.Sons family butchers. Charlie could be facing rates
:23:18. > :23:23.of up to ?17,000 a year. If we can't make a profit,
:23:24. > :23:26.we won't be able to stay. So we shall have to look
:23:27. > :23:36.at other alternatives. Southwold has become
:23:37. > :23:38.an expensive place to stay. Maybe it's a little too expensive
:23:39. > :23:42.for independent shops. For the butcher and the baker
:23:43. > :23:44.and the other small businesses, this is a big election issue,
:23:45. > :23:48.a vote decider. I would be looking to vote
:23:49. > :23:51.for a government that is giving support to the notion of diversity
:23:52. > :23:54.on the high street, valuing independent businesses
:23:55. > :23:59.and what they bring to our society And if you want to find out
:24:00. > :24:10.more about what policies the parties are offering you,
:24:11. > :24:13.or indeed find out how to contact us with an issue you want exploring,
:24:14. > :24:16.then our website is Let's return to our main story
:24:17. > :24:38.and the cyber attack on the NHS. This has been breaking since this
:24:39. > :24:41.afternoon and we are finding out more about who is involved in which
:24:42. > :24:47.hospitals have been affected. Updaters on what you know so far? It
:24:48. > :24:51.seems that it is about 25 organisations in England. That is
:24:52. > :24:56.trusts and some in Scotland. That is the extent of it that we know about.
:24:57. > :24:59.But it seems as if there could be more to come and it is a national
:25:00. > :25:03.incident being monitored at the highest levels of the NHS in
:25:04. > :25:06.England. They have put out a statement reassuring patients that
:25:07. > :25:11.if they need the NHS and it is an emergency, they should go to A and
:25:12. > :25:15.normal service is available. But they are asking people, if they
:25:16. > :25:17.don't need to be at A, to be elsewhere. We have had reports of
:25:18. > :25:21.trauma cases heading for one hospital and being switched to
:25:22. > :25:27.another. The message is that urgent care is still available at the NHS.
:25:28. > :25:30.What about nonurgent care, patients who have operations scheduled, GP
:25:31. > :25:35.appointments? What should they do? We have heard from patients going
:25:36. > :25:38.into this afternoon being sent away because their routine outpatient
:25:39. > :25:41.appointment couldn't happen or a test. It seems likely there will be
:25:42. > :25:45.disruption for several days and that routine surgery will be put off
:25:46. > :25:48.while they try to get to the bottom of the IT problem. The last time it
:25:49. > :25:52.happened in Lincolnshire at the end of last year, it was two or three
:25:53. > :25:57.days before things got back to normal. We are hearing from GPs that
:25:58. > :26:01.there are serious issues for them. They are having difficulty providing
:26:02. > :26:07.patient care. They are able to talk to patients and advise them, by
:26:08. > :26:09.getting hold of records has been impossible. So possibly a lot of
:26:10. > :26:10.disruption to GP appointments running well into next week. Hugh,
:26:11. > :26:22.thank you. The Highlands of Scotland were the
:26:23. > :26:25.case to be today for sunshine and warmth, whereas elsewhere across the
:26:26. > :26:28.UK, there was a good deal of crowd, some outbreaks of rain and a bit of
:26:29. > :26:34.sunshine. Here is the satellite and radar picture, which was quite
:26:35. > :26:37.messy. A lot of cloud and rain moving away from the north-west of
:26:38. > :26:42.England, heading towards Northern Ireland. We will see rain pushing
:26:43. > :26:48.into the south of Wales. Parts of Scotland are also quite wet. But
:26:49. > :26:57.other parts of England are largely dry. It is not a cold night. By nine
:26:58. > :27:00.in the morning, it is dry and bright and breezy across the south of the
:27:01. > :27:04.UK. Most places will be dry. There will be a shower or two, but the
:27:05. > :27:08.cloud will break and allow sunshine through. In the north of Wales, more
:27:09. > :27:11.cloud and outbreaks of rain, as you will find in the south-west of
:27:12. > :27:17.England. Northern Ireland will also see outbreaks of rain. Still pretty
:27:18. > :27:28.great along the eastern side of Scotland. And we will keep it rather
:27:29. > :27:31.grey as well. Looks like the south-east will be largely dry in
:27:32. > :27:37.the afternoon. Temperatures are quite warm. Through the evening, we
:27:38. > :27:41.start to see a band of rain work from west to east. Shouldn't last
:27:42. > :27:46.too long in any given location and by dawn on Sunday, it will clear
:27:47. > :27:49.into the North Sea. Some of it may linger for a time in the north-east
:27:50. > :27:52.of Scotland, but even that clears away and then it is a bright and
:27:53. > :27:55.breezy day on Sunday. There will be lengthy spells of sunshine, but
:27:56. > :27:59.there will be a few showers as well. Most of those will be in the
:28:00. > :28:04.north-west, but some will crop up in the Midlands as well. And a slightly
:28:05. > :28:16.fresher feel to things. The NHS is being hit by a major
:28:17. > :28:17.cyber attack as computers go down, patients are being sent home and
:28:18. > :28:19.ambulances are being diverted. That's all from the BBC News at six,
:28:20. > :28:22.so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One, we now join
:28:23. > :28:24.the BBC's news teams where you are.
