:01:08. > :01:10.Hello and welcome to World News Today.

:01:11. > :01:12.Europe's police agency, Europol, says the global cyber attack has hit

:01:13. > :01:19.more than 200-thousand victims in more than 150 countries.

:01:20. > :01:22.Cyber security experts are now warning of a possible new wave

:01:23. > :01:24.of malware attacks around the world when people return to

:01:25. > :01:30.Europol says Friday's cyber attack was unprecedented in its scale.

:01:31. > :01:41.Europol says it has seen how ransomware has become a major

:01:42. > :01:47.criminal problem in the last two years but they have never seen

:01:48. > :01:50.anything on this scale. Ransomware combined with the worm application

:01:51. > :01:55.which means infected computers passed on to others on its network.

:01:56. > :01:59.The attack was indiscriminate in nature, designed to affect as many

:02:00. > :02:05.people and as many companies as possible on a global basis. The

:02:06. > :02:10.health care sector is vulnerable because health trusts post a lot of

:02:11. > :02:14.sensitive information very often on old IT systems. The criminals know

:02:15. > :02:20.of course that if they can exploit the vulnerability there, the

:02:21. > :02:25.obligations would be serious. There were 200,000 computers infected

:02:26. > :02:29.across 150 countries before a 22-year-old Briton hailed as a hero

:02:30. > :02:35.stopped its ability to spread. Finding a simple kill switch in its

:02:36. > :02:46.cold, something he warned was just a temporary fix. There

:02:47. > :02:51.is a lot of money in this, there is no reason for them to stop. There is

:02:52. > :02:53.not really much effort for them to change the code. Now the director of

:02:54. > :02:56.Europol has confirmed the fears of security experts. We have since seen

:02:57. > :02:58.the cyber criminals react to this and put out a new variant of this

:02:59. > :03:01.which overcomes that temporary fix and I am also concerned about what

:03:02. > :03:04.happens on Monday morning because I think this bug will be sitting in

:03:05. > :03:07.systems over the weekend, that are so far not been used and when people

:03:08. > :03:11.arrive for work on Monday morning and turn on their computer, I think

:03:12. > :03:16.we will see the numbers going up again. Why the high-profile

:03:17. > :03:21.organisations hit have largely recovered, Britain's NHS among them,

:03:22. > :03:26.thanks to back-up systems, some victims, especially many individuals

:03:27. > :03:30.were so prepared. Graduation is just weeks away for students at this

:03:31. > :03:36.campus in China, with no option but to pay up if they want their files

:03:37. > :03:39.are blocked by the hackers. TRANSLATION: The encryption of the

:03:40. > :03:42.ransomware was pretty advanced, individual users would not be over

:03:43. > :03:47.to recover their files. So I think for users, they'll should always

:03:48. > :03:53.back up their files, upgrade their security software and use antivirus

:03:54. > :03:59.tools. And with the new attack imminent, that is the main advice

:04:00. > :04:02.from security experts, download the latest security patches from

:04:03. > :04:04.Microsoft and regularly back-up to devices not connected to the

:04:05. > :04:06.internet. Karl Riley, BBC News. Our security correspondent

:04:07. > :04:08.Gordon Corera says the the latest ransomware is a large-scale

:04:09. > :04:19.and indiscriminate attack. It is a global attack. It is not

:04:20. > :04:23.targeted at a particular country or particular industry sector, it is

:04:24. > :04:26.basically spread everywhere on the internet looking for machines which

:04:27. > :04:31.it can exploit, because they have a certain operating system which has

:04:32. > :04:35.not been upgraded in a way, which allows this worm to operate and do

:04:36. > :04:40.its work by encrypting and making the data on it inaccessible. We have

:04:41. > :04:45.seen this strange distribution of it where in the UK for instance, the

:04:46. > :04:57.national Health Service has been targeted, but in other countries,

:04:58. > :04:58.factories or in Germany, railways were targeted, different companies

:04:59. > :05:01.in different countries because it basically comes down to which

:05:02. > :05:03.companies or organisations or people were using a particular operating

:05:04. > :05:07.system which was vulnerable to this attack. And are we any nearer to

:05:08. > :05:11.knowing who is behind it? Noel is the simple answer. I have spoken to

:05:12. > :05:15.people who say they still have not got a clear sense of who it might

:05:16. > :05:20.be. Typically this is a criminal act rather than the State act.

:05:21. > :05:24.Typically, not always. But because they are seeking to make money, they

:05:25. > :05:28.are asking for a ransom payment in that guides, a certain amount of

:05:29. > :05:31.people have paid, tens of thousands of dollars, but it looks like no one

:05:32. > :05:51.has extracted that or taken the money out, which

:05:52. > :05:54.has been paid. I think authorities will be hoping there might be some

:05:55. > :05:57.way of tracing those that coins, you're not supposed to be able to,

:05:58. > :05:59.but it might be possible. Who this criminal gang was or whether they

:06:00. > :06:02.really understood how widespread the impact would be, whether it is a

:06:03. > :06:04.small gang or established gang, all of that is unclear. A predominantly

:06:05. > :06:07.companies and what do they need to need to do to protect themselves?

:06:08. > :06:09.This is a wake-up call for anyone, to protect yourself you need

:06:10. > :06:11.up-to-date software, you need to be running the software which has been

:06:12. > :06:14.patched meaning the vulnerability has been closed. In this case, the

:06:15. > :06:20.vulnerability was spotted and a patch, a fix for it was sent out and

:06:21. > :06:23.if people had used that, then they would not have been affected. It

:06:24. > :06:26.really is a sign that people need to take cyber security seriously and

:06:27. > :06:28.those people who were able to upgrade and update their machines

:06:29. > :06:30.will not have been affected in the way that others were. Gordon Corera

:06:31. > :06:32.talking to me earlier. Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats

:06:33. > :06:34.have won Germany's most populous state, beating their main

:06:35. > :06:36.Social Democrat rivals, in the last electoral test before

:06:37. > :06:39.the national poll in September. Exit polls for North

:06:40. > :06:40.Rhine-Westphalia show Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats

:06:41. > :06:42.taking a projected share of 34-point-five percent of the vote,

:06:43. > :06:45.with their Free Democrat allies The Social Democrats have

:06:46. > :06:47.30-point-five percent while their governing partners,

:06:48. > :06:57.the Greens, slumped to six percent. Our Berlin correspondent,

:06:58. > :06:59.Damien McGuinness, told me this result would be seen as a pointer

:07:00. > :07:13.to the federal election That is why this regional election

:07:14. > :07:19.matters because on the one hand, it matters in its own right, this is

:07:20. > :07:23.Germany's largest state, 13 point something million voters are both

:07:24. > :07:28.there and they vote primarily on regional issues. They are voting on

:07:29. > :07:33.schools, policing, transport, these are all issues run by the regional

:07:34. > :07:39.governments, but this region is also a bellwether and a signal for the

:07:40. > :07:45.national elections in four months' time and that is partly because this

:07:46. > :07:50.is traditionally a SDP centre-left stronghold and Martin Schulz, Angela

:07:51. > :07:55.Merkel's challenger said and he assumed that they were going to win

:07:56. > :08:01.their and they were going to set up a strong left-wing Coalition

:08:02. > :08:04.government in that area because Martin Shilts felt some enthusiasm

:08:05. > :08:08.from left-wing voters over the past few months and he assumed he would

:08:09. > :08:12.do well here and that this would be a strong signal for September. He

:08:13. > :08:16.has just said about half an hour ago that it is a difficult day for

:08:17. > :08:20.social democracy and a difficult day for him personally because he is

:08:21. > :08:24.well aware now that this is a signal that actually the support around the

:08:25. > :08:33.country may not be as strong as he thinks, because what we have noticed

:08:34. > :08:35.over the past few weeks really is that the initial enthusiasm for him

:08:36. > :08:37.seems to have faded somewhat and that polls are showing that actually

:08:38. > :08:42.Angela Merkel, the current incumbent Chancellor is the most popular and

:08:43. > :08:46.it seems that most voters want her to stay and it is partly because she

:08:47. > :08:50.is seen as a safe pair of hands in insecure times. A difficult day for

:08:51. > :08:54.Martin Schultz, he is not exactly when to throw in the towel, but do

:08:55. > :08:58.you think as far as his leadership challenge goes, you pretty much

:08:59. > :09:01.predicts that it will not happen? That is what some commentators are

:09:02. > :09:05.already saying, they are saying it is the end of the road for him but

:09:06. > :09:10.he said he would keep fighting. It also has to be said that it depends

:09:11. > :09:13.what happens over the next few months, but those Angela Merkel has

:09:14. > :09:17.had a few knocks over the past few years, during the resurgence of the

:09:18. > :09:21.refugee crisis, we have had terror attacks and all those things did not

:09:22. > :09:22.support and there are plenty of voters who are not satisfied with

:09:23. > :09:33.Angela Merkel and want a change, but Angela Merkel and want a change, but

:09:34. > :09:36.I think what we have seen over the past month or so is that people here

:09:37. > :09:38.are saying that Martin Schultz has not really come up with concrete

:09:39. > :09:40.policies and the SDP are finding it difficult really to get that centre

:09:41. > :09:43.ground where Mrs Merkel sitting comfortably indeed when it comes to

:09:44. > :09:47.issues to do with migration when it comes to do with security and

:09:48. > :09:52.terror, Angela Merkel is sitting in the popular centre ground which the

:09:53. > :09:55.SDP is minded hard to occupy. That is the problem and until Martin

:09:56. > :09:58.Schultz can come up with concrete policies to really combat Mrs

:09:59. > :10:01.Merkel, it is hard to see how he will beat in September. Damian

:11:08. > :11:08.Francois Hollande, leaves office as France's most unpopular leader

:11:09. > :11:14.of modern times. But the task in front

:11:15. > :11:18.of Mr Macron is huge. If this business friendly liberal

:11:19. > :11:21.is to honour his pledge TRANSLATION: All labour laws

:11:22. > :11:25.will be liberalised, Innovation and creativity will be

:11:26. > :11:33.at the heart of my programme. The French feel left

:11:34. > :11:35.behind by globalisation To achieve that, Mr Macron needs

:11:36. > :11:43.a majority in parliament, but his new party has no MPs

:11:44. > :11:46.and elections are in Emmanuel Macron has promised this

:11:47. > :11:51.moment will mark a decisive break from the past for France,

:12:07. > :12:10.a force at the heart of the EU, TRANSLATION: He will

:12:45. > :12:46.within the next two days. It comes just hours after the US

:13:14. > :13:17.is concerned about everything around him and I think this was a message

:13:18. > :13:22.to South Korea, after the election and what we are going to do is

:13:23. > :13:26.continue to tighten the screws. He absolutely feels it. Having a

:13:27. > :13:29.missile test is not the wake to sit down with the President because he

:13:30. > :13:33.is absolutely not going to do it and I can tell you, he can say all the

:13:34. > :13:38.conditions he once, until he meets our conditions, we are not sitting

:13:39. > :13:40.down with them. I spoke earlier to Mark Fitzpatrick,

:13:41. > :13:42.Executive Director of the International Institute

:13:43. > :13:44.for Stategic studies he explained more about

:13:45. > :13:50.the latest nuclear test. This appears to be the longest range

:13:51. > :13:56.missile that North Korea has successfully tested to date. The

:13:57. > :14:05.range would be about 4500 kilometres, if it was straight and

:14:06. > :14:10.not in the trajectory. That is about 1500 kilometres longer than anything

:14:11. > :14:13.North Korea has tested to date and brings it closer to having an

:14:14. > :14:21.intercontinental ballistic missile range. How close is closer? They

:14:22. > :14:26.still would need to add more oomph to the missile, to reach the United

:14:27. > :14:32.States. They would need a range of 8000. There is considerable more to

:14:33. > :14:36.go, probably at least a couple more years of development, but the pace

:14:37. > :14:39.of North Korea's missile testing has been so rapid and the progress so

:14:40. > :14:47.great in the last couple of years, that it is unclear that they will be

:18:30. > :18:37.what a player he is. It was very important for us today and all these

:18:38. > :18:42.performances, and I think the 2-0 was a knock for West Ham and we kept

:18:43. > :18:48.on going and it was good football and we could have scored more.

:18:49. > :18:52.Liverpool looking good but the Premier League adventure is over for
