Patients are being told to stay away from accident and emergency units

in Lincolnshire after the county's hospitals were hit by an attack

Many appointments scheduled for the weekend have been cancelled and

internet and emails are down across the NHS throughout the country.

Our reporter, Jake Zuckerman, sent this report from

This afternoon hospitals across England began reporting

problems with their IT systems and it quickly became clear

that this was a major cyber attack of the sort that we have seen affect

public bodies in the past and that amongst the organisations affected

The United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust, the Lincolnshire

Partnership Foundation Trust, which deals with mental health

issues, and Lincolnshire Community Health Services are all affected

Meanwhile, North Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Trust

are asking patients to avoid A at their hospitals because of

the cyber attack which they say is affecting them as well.

All routine activities here at Lincoln County Hospital

have been suspended today and over the weekend and I spoke to one

patient who was so close to going into surgery

when his operation was cancelled that he still had a drip

it's a heinous crime this, I think, because they're putting

We suspended routine activity as soon as we were aware

of the issue because we obviously needed to focus on the urgent

and emergency patients and also to protect patient safety

We took that action and we are suspending all routine

At the moment the hospital just don't know how long it's

going to take until they can get their systems up and running

again and we just don't know how long this is going to go on for.

The number of children and teenagers who're being referred to mental

health services in the East Riding is now at record levels

and charities believe exam pressures are partly to blame.

Many teenagers say the new A-level courses, where subjects are examined

at the end of two years, are adding to their anxiety and stress.

Here's our health correspondent, Vicky Johnson.

With exams looming, conversation among these students

I used flash cards last year but I've not made any.

A-levels have changed this year with results depending on end

of course exams and students say this is adding to their stress.

There's a massive amount of things to remember for the subjects.

Especially when you've got to remember two years of work.

I do put pressure on myself but other than that it's my

upbringing because my family really takes pride in education.

We don't help those young people by removing the challenges.

We need to help children to overcome the challenges so that

when they take examinations and they are end of two-year test,

they can overcome those hurdles like children do all over the world.

Now a look at the weather forecast with Keeley Donovan.

Some much-needed rain for the garden over the next few days but the good

news is most of it is going to fall overnight, Saturday into Sunday

and a lot of the weekend looks dry and bright.

It will be broken to allow some clear spells and a mild night

to come with temperatures staying in double figures for many of us.

Tomorrow morning a fairly cloudy start.

The odd shower is possible through the morning

and into the early part of the afternoon but most

places dry for the day and increasingly it will get bright

through the afternoon with increasing amounts of sunshine.

Temperatures getting up to around 17 or 18 degrees.

Some much-needed rain for the gardens overnight into Sunday.

Sunday starting off dry and fine with some sunshine.

One or two showers knocking around, just watch out for those but most

places dry and then unsettled to start next week.

That is it from me and the late team. Look North is back tomorrow

evening at 6:15 p.m.. Goodbye.
