The NHS is the victim of a major cyber attack. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
At least 25 hospitals trusts and GP surgeries | :00:09. | :00:09. | |
Routine operations at some hospitals are being cancelled, | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
patients sent home and ambulances diverted. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |

computers, old systems, if they don't keep them wobbly patch, they | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
will keep getting hit by attacks like this. -- if they don't keep | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
them properly patched. The NHS has declared this | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
a major national incident and there are now reports | :01:02. | :01:04. | |

to the BBC News at Six. The NHS is the victim | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
of a major cyber attack. Since mid afternoon, | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
computer systems in at least 25 hospital trusts and GP | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
surgeries up and down England In those affected, routine | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
operations are being cancelled, patients are being sent home | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
and ambulances are being diverted. Patients are being asked to stay | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
away unless their condition | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
is life threatening. The cyber attack is a form | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
of ransomware in which an IT system is hacked into and will only be | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
restored on payment of a ransom. Hospital staff have been venting | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
their frustration on social media, saying they have no access | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
to patient records, blood tests, The scale of the cyber attack | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
on the NHS is unprecedented. It's been declared a major national | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
incident disrupting hospitals and trusts from Dumfries | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
and Carlisle, Blackpool and York, to some of the big teaching | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
hospitals in London, and services in | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
the south of England. Our first report tonight | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
from our health editor Hugh Pym. A major incident has been declared | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
by NHS leaders in England and hospitals like this one in | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
Colchester have been experiencing serious computer problems after a | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
cyber attack. This is what some patients told us: the gentleman just | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
inside the door said that all the computers have gone down, and they | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
are not sure whether the doctors can see you forward have a reason. If it | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
is x-rays, breakages, what have you, they will send you home. VOICEOVER: | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
It has happened before, this hospital trust covering North | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Lincolnshire and gore, IT systems were closed for three days as the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
result of a cyber attack last autumn. Hundreds of operations and | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
patient appointments were postponed, people were told to get to eight and | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
the only if it was really necessary, there were warnings that NHS IT was | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
honourable. And today staff looking in at other hospitals found this on | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
their screens, with a message saying, your files are encrypted, if | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
you want to recover them, you need to pay up. -- Northern Lincolnshire | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
and Goole. -- A Ransomware, a hidden programme used by criminal | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
hackers was being used. The NHS is vulnerable, typically it has not | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
invested enough in computer security, using old computers and | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
systems and if they don't keep them properly patched they will keep | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
getting hit by attacks like this. In a statement, NHS digital, | :04:22. | :04:21. | |
responsible for IT, has said: one doctor at this hospital in | :04:22. | :04:44. | |
Mansfield told us how it was affecting services today: I had a | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
meeting today, a patient with severe back pain, could potentially | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
paralyse her. And we had to divert her to another hospital, Queens | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
medical Centre. It is getting a bit difficult for us. We have a lot of | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
patience here. It takes an awful lot of time for us to process the | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
information on a paper system. Some hospitals warned local people they | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
were experiencing significant IT and telephone problems. Some GP | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
practices have also reported significant problems. | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
STUDIO: Let's speak to our correspondents at some | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
Helena Lee is at Barts in London | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
To you first Helena, what's happening there? | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
They have activated what they call a major incident plan for the welfare | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
and safety of their patients. All routine appointments have been | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
cancelled, Haitians have been told to use other NHS services if they | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
can, and any ambulances arriving here have been diverted to | :06:04. | :06:04. | |
neighbouring hospitals. We've just spoken to one | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
patient who's waited months for a major heart operation, | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
he was all prepared for the operation but it was cancelled | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
at the last minute. Colchester general, treating more | :06:15. | :06:28. | |
than half a million people every year, the potential here, as | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
elsewhere, for destruction, was huge, having been inside and spoken | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
to staff and patients, it seems to be measured and calm, one member of | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
staff has said, tough but manageable. One of the patients, in | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
the report, a few moans and groans but most people have been | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
understanding when they were told they would be sent home. A couple of | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
other patients say that they are yet to be convinced on this claim that | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
patient's data has not in some way been compromised. This hospital | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
works very closely with a hospital 19 miles up the road in its rich, | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
sharing a Chief Executive, it is a sign of the patchwork nature of this | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
at this one was affected by the other one was not. Broomfield | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Hospital, Chelmsford, was hit, and the list in Stevenage, and in | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
Norfolk, but others unaffected, Adam Brook scum of the biggest hospital | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
in this region, was unaffected. -- Adam Brook 's. -- Addenbrooke's | :07:18. | :07:30. | |
Hospital. Let's talk to our technology | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
correspondent, Rory Cellan Jones. What more can you tell us about this | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
cyber attack and the ransomeware The most dangerous and most | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
important weapon in the hands of cybercriminals, we have seen attacks | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
over the last couple of years over the years including previous attacks | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
on NHS hospitals, this is by far the biggest we have seen, and the NHS is | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
stressing that it was not specifically targeted, this is a | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
wider attack, and I'm seeing evidence of that, one researcher | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
saying that 36 bells and detections, so far, Russia, Ukraine and Taiwan | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
leading, this is huge, reports from many places across the world, in | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Spain in particular. -- 36,000 detections. We will bring you more | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
on that story as it develops later in the programme. | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Jeremy Corbyn says the war on terror isn't working and Britain | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
In a speech outlining his foreign policy, he said he wasn't a pacifist | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
and could see circumstances in which he would involve Britain | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
in a war but he warned against what he called a "bomb | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Mr Corbyn accused Theresa May of pandering to Donald Trump, | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
who he said was making the world a more dangerous place. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
Here's our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar. | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
VOICEOVER: He is used to it now, all the attention, and not always | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
friendly, though he still tries to be. Don't push each other, OK. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Labour's campaign is so much about Jeremy Corbyn, his character, his | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
ideas, he has held here for 30 years, though some in his party | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
which he had not, like defence, and the Labour leader today was holding | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
to his oldest and deepest convictions, writing of years of | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Britain's way of war against terror. The war on terror has not succeeded, | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
it has driven these interventions and it has not increased security at | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
home, in fact, many would say, just the opposite. This, Britain's | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
leader, on-site and alongside with Donald Trump, not Jeremy Corbyn's | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
answer, more talking, less fighting, yes, and a lot less cosy and is with | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Washington if Jeremy Corbyn wins. We deserve better than simply | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
outsourcing defence and prosperity to the whims of Donald Trump's White | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
House, no more handholding with Donald Trump. A Labour government | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
will conduct a robust and independent foreign policy. The | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
message, when facing terrorism, to rely on peace and diplomacy, but | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
what about Britain's nuclear deterrent? And Jeremy Corbyn's | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
lifelong opposition to nuclear defence, or potential Prime Minister | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
that has become a nagging question, a live election issue, and he knew | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
it. -- for a potential Prime Minister. I am often asked if I | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
would order the use of nuclear weapons, it is an ordinary question | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
when you think about it, would you order the indiscriminate killing of | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
millions of people? Would you risk such contamination of the planet | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
that no life could exist across large parts of the world? If | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
circumstances arose where there was a real option, it would represent a | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
complete and cataclysmic failure, it would mean world leaders have | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
already triggered a spiral of catastrophe. That sounded like a no, | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
he wanted nuclear defence reconsidered as well. We cannot | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
decide what a review would decide otherwise we would not have a | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
review. Would you say to -- what you say to supporters British military | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
power, it is not clear when you would sent forces into battle, | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
including strikes against Islamic State Western Mark McGrath I doubt | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
many if any would have questioned the legitimacy ultimately of the | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Second World War because of the catastrophe of the rise of the | :11:19. | :11:19. | |
Nazis. -- against Islamic State? British air strikes on so-called | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which Jeremy Corbyn has opposed, he | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
is glad now that he has joined the marches against the Iraq invasion, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
which drove down support for Labour in government, he wanted British | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
raids against IS reviewed. Examine what they are doing straightaway, | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
and their presence, but above all, that fits into the whole point I am | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
saying, I would do everything I possibly could in order to reignite | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
the peace process. Some, not all Labour supporters, agree, others, | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
very far from it. A Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn that would simply | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
chuck away at ability to defend ourselves is crazy and not the way I | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
want so. You see defence policy sucking in billions of pounds on | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Trident, at a time when a conventional defence Force has seen | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
cut after cut after cut. Approval for the leaders line here, today, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
but Labour needs converts, lots of them. -- leader's line. | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
Well Theresa May was campaigning in the north-east today, | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
in an attempt to win over Labour voters. | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
She accused Jeremy Corbyn of deserting what she called | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
"proud and patriotic" working class people. | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
And as Mr Corbyn was outlying Labour's foreign policy plans, | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
Mrs May didn't rule out a future parliamentary vote | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
on joining American military strikes against Syria. | :12:50. | :12:50. | |
Here's our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg. | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
What the Tories might expect, a raw reception in much of the Northeast | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
England. The Tories will ruin our environment. Can the Conservatives | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
win around here, no! Definitely not! No chance! A very small selection of | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
people canvassing for the Tories, we have a huge following for the | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
Labour. Inside, Theresa May believes she can swell these polite ranks of | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
her supporters, trying to stir up national pride, with talk of | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
security, and defence, while slamming her Labour opponents, who | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
have been in charge round here for a long time. Proud and patriotic | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
working class people, in towns and cities across Britain, have not | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
deserted the Labour Party, we respect the parents and grandparents | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
taught their children and grandchildren that Labour was a | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
party that share their values and stood up for their community. But | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
across the country today, traditional Labour supporters are | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
increasingly looking at what Jeremy Corbyn believes in, and are | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
appalled. Beyond the attack lines, on safety and security, what might | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
she do if she stays in charge? You have thought a lot about Patrick | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
isn't today, would you think it patriotic to join the United States | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
in more strikes against Syria, or will you rule out having a | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
parliamentary vote on that? We are, as you know, the United Kingdom is | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
part of the coalition that is operating in Syria and Iraq, with | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
the United States, but with other countries as well, when I look at | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
the decisions we will be taking in terms of defence and foreign policy, | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
there is one thing that will drive the decisions, that those decisions | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
will be taken in the British national interest. Not quite a no | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
will stop and she really take the Tories beyond small pockets of the | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
north-east? Look at the side of the bus to see how they hope. -- not | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
quite a no. Her name in giant letters, you almost need a | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
magnifying glass for the party. We will deliver for Britain. She may be | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
well ahead in the polls, the Tory manifesto is not even published yet, | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
how far can she really reach? I was Labour if you year ago, when I first | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
started voting, but my views are changing, working life and what is | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
happening in this world, in this country, my views are changing. | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
INAUDIBLE QUESTION I haven't. You will be voting | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
Conservative the first time? Yes, strong opinions on "Brexit", that | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
has changed my mind, that is where I want to see the country go, | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
stand-alone, move forward that way. Getting on the road in the | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
north-east is part of a deliberate strategy, not just in trying to win, | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
but in trying to pump up the majority. I've used virtually every | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
form of transport you can think of in this election campaign, except | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
horses. However she travels and whatever the polls say today, | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
shifting huge numbers of votes in Labour territory is a hard sell. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Theresa May has already been to more than 20 Labour seats, including some | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
here in the north-east which should traditionally be safe as houses. The | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
Tories say that she is selling a positive message, every day they are | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
trying to display contrast between her and Jeremy Corbyn, brutally | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
trying to strip away the Labour vote. I'm the only one more | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
important than the Prime Minister! LAUGHTER | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
Convention suggest whole chunks of the North of England, Scotland and | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Wales are not safe for the Conservatives but Theresa May wants | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
to 's persuade you that the country's future is only safe with | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
her. -- wants to persuade you that the country's future is only safe | :16:39. | :16:39. | |
with her. STUDIO: The Liberal Democrats | :16:40. | :16:43. | |

a teenager who died from an allergic reaction to his school lunch | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
could possibly have been saved if staff had given him the adrenalin | :17:37. | :17:39. | |

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