:01:07. > :01:10.reported on organisations around the world. Including in Britain and
:01:11. > :01:15.Spain the United States and China. It is not clear if they are
:01:16. > :01:20.connected. Meanwhile the National Health Service said the attack meant

:01:27. > :01:30.users' access. Hugh Pym reports. A major incident has been declared
:01:31. > :01:33.by NHS leaders in England, and hospitals like this one
:01:34. > :01:35.in Colchester have been experiencing serious computer problems
:01:36. > :01:37.after a cyber attack. This is what some patients
:01:38. > :01:39.told us: The gentleman just
:01:40. > :01:42.inside the door said that and they are not sure
:01:43. > :01:47.whether the doctors can If it is x-rays, or breakages,

:02:05. > :02:07.only if it was really necessary, there were warnings that NHS IT was
:02:08. > :02:13.vulnerable. And today staff logging in at other
:02:14. > :02:15.hospitals found this on their screens, with a message
:02:16. > :02:20.saying, your files are encrypted, if you want to recover them,

:02:23. > :02:26.programme used by criminal The NHS is vulnerable,
:02:27. > :02:29.because typically it has not invested enough in computer
:02:30. > :02:34.security, using old computers and systems and if they don't keep them
:02:35. > :02:38.properly patched they will keep In a statement, NHS Digital,
:02:39. > :03:12.responsible for IT, has said: One doctor at this hospital
:03:13. > :03:15.in Mansfield told us how it was I had a lady today, who had severe
:03:16. > :03:19.back pain, could potentially And we had to divert her
:03:20. > :03:23.to another hospital, Queens It is getting a bit
:03:24. > :03:27.difficult for us. It takes an awful lot of time
:03:28. > :03:33.for us to process the Some hospitals warned
:03:34. > :03:39.local people they were experiencing significant IT
:03:40. > :03:44.and telephone problems. Some GP practices have also reported
:03:45. > :04:04.significant problems. The man speaking in a report is in
:04:05. > :04:10.Oxford and he joins us now, here's a cyber Security analyst. You are
:04:11. > :04:13.saying the NHS is vulnerable, why was invulnerable? Any organisation
:04:14. > :04:17.which does not keep up-to-date with its security patches, is not
:04:18. > :04:22.upgrading the operating system, can have those problems exploited by
:04:23. > :04:25.hackers and malware attacks. And sadly the British health service has
:04:26. > :04:31.really lagged behind in some of these areas. Why are they not
:04:32. > :04:36.updating? I suspect one reason may be money. It costs money to upgrade
:04:37. > :04:40.your operating system, because often you have to upgrade the computers as
:04:41. > :04:45.well to handle the new operating system. Also you might have to
:04:46. > :04:50.reboot computers and bring them die down for awhile as people don't like
:04:51. > :04:54.systems going down. But any time Microsoft comes out and says there
:04:55. > :04:57.is a critical problem with our software which cybercriminals can
:04:58. > :05:03.exploit, you have to listen and you should apply those patches. Talking
:05:04. > :05:09.of patches, Microsoft sent out this patch in March when it first became
:05:10. > :05:15.evident that the ransomware was out there. The NHS did not apply it. The
:05:16. > :05:19.more you look into less the more simple in its bases it seems. It
:05:20. > :05:22.does not appear to have been some great hacking organisation that have
:05:23. > :05:30.done this. It seems to have been a lucky hit full -- by whoever was
:05:31. > :05:36.behind it. The people behind attacks like this simply want to hit is made
:05:37. > :05:39.people as possible. They were not specifically targeting any of the
:05:40. > :05:43.organisations that were hit. They simply set the virus loose. They are
:05:44. > :05:47.keen for as many computers as possible to be hit because they will
:05:48. > :05:52.make more money in return. And frankly the NHS was something of a
:05:53. > :05:56.sitting duck. But so were other organisations. But what I think is
:05:57. > :06:02.most disturbing about this is that this vulnerability which the worm
:06:03. > :06:04.was exploiting was first discovered by American intelligence services,
:06:05. > :06:08.the NSA, and they knew about this problem and they did not tell
:06:09. > :06:12.Microsoft about it for months or maybe years because they were using
:06:13. > :06:29.it to spy for their own purposes. And the NSE -- and as a god tax and.
:06:30. > :06:36.We would have had a patch months earlier from the Microsoft if the
:06:37. > :06:38.NSA had protected everyone by sharing the information with
:06:39. > :06:45.Microsoft as soon as they knew it. Thank you very much. President Trump
:06:46. > :06:51.has warned the former FBI director not to leak to the press against
:06:52. > :06:55.him, turning up the political temperature even higher in
:06:56. > :07:07.Washington. Among a deluge of tweets Mr Trump said... This follows a
:07:08. > :07:12.television interview in which Mr Trump said he had alone had taken
:07:13. > :07:16.the decision to fire the FBI chief, contradicting previous claims about
:07:17. > :07:22.the sequence of events. The President's letter to him on Tuesday
:07:23. > :07:28.said he was being terminated on the recommendation of the Attorney
:07:29. > :07:37.General and his deputy. She recently the White House spokesman Sean
:07:38. > :07:42.Spicer was quizzed about the taping? Did the President record his
:07:43. > :07:45.conversations? You are referring to the tweet, I've talked to the
:07:46. > :07:51.president, he has nothing further to add. Why did he say that? Why did he
:07:52. > :07:57.tweeted? What should we interpret from it? As I said, he has nothing
:07:58. > :08:02.further to add. Are there recording devices on? There is nothing further
:08:03. > :08:06.to add. Is it appropriate to threaten someone like this not to
:08:07. > :08:13.speak? That is not a threat. He is simply stating a fact. The tweet
:08:14. > :08:17.speaks for itself. I am moving on. Let's go to our correspondence in
:08:18. > :08:26.Washington. What we make of all this? Are there tapes? Could there
:08:27. > :08:29.be tapes? There could be. Sean Spicer was very evasive when it came
:08:30. > :08:34.to answering that question. He would not outright say there were no
:08:35. > :08:38.secret tapes in the White House. It seems like we are talking about the
:08:39. > :08:45.Nixon White House, but this is the Trump presidency. So going forward
:08:46. > :08:49.there is a history, there have been reports of Donald Trump taping
:08:50. > :08:54.members of his own business in his offices when he was a real estate
:08:55. > :08:59.mogul. But that is speculation as to whether that could happen in the
:09:00. > :09:04.White House. We will have to wait and see if Donald Trump has asked
:09:05. > :09:08.himself if there is an existence of a taping system. Do you think there
:09:09. > :09:11.is some form of rolling back now by the White House, because Sean Spicer
:09:12. > :09:17.said it is not a threat, there is nothing threatening in the tweet, it
:09:18. > :09:24.is just stating a fact. Are they trying to row back? I think they are
:09:25. > :09:28.trying to. Every time they seem to construct a series of arguments or
:09:29. > :09:33.defences about this firing and they talk about it being a process and
:09:34. > :09:36.there was a memo, signed off by the Attorney General, Donald Trump goes
:09:37. > :09:41.out in talks to the media and undercuts what ever came before him.
:09:42. > :09:45.So you have people like Sean Spicer and even Mike pence who also talk
:09:46. > :09:51.about the firing being a process within the Department, Joel Trump
:09:52. > :09:54.undermines that when he says no I planned on firing him from the get
:09:55. > :09:59.go no matter what the Justice Department said. In reality it is
:10:00. > :10:08.not until Donald Trump speaks himself that you know what his views
:10:09. > :10:12.are. Apparently in an interview that will air this weekend cover he is
:10:13. > :10:16.thinking of not having any press briefings by the press office any
:10:17. > :10:19.more. And maybe just himself talking to the press every couple of weeks
:10:20. > :10:26.which would be a major break from tradition. We will leave it there.

:11:16. > :11:18.Coast have opened fire in at least five military bases across the
:11:19. > :11:22.country. It is reported there was shooting in the air in protest of
:11:23. > :11:27.the deal made with the Government to scrap plans to give them back pay
:11:28. > :11:31.and bonuses. It follows a televised apology by a spokesman for the
:11:32. > :11:37.soldiers over previous protest over pay. Pope Francis has embarked on a
:11:38. > :11:40.pilgrimage to central Portugal where up to a 1 million people are

:11:48. > :11:52.the virgin Mary one century ago. Italy's highest court has upheld the
:11:53. > :11:58.16 year jail sentence imposed on the captain of a shipwrecked cruise
:11:59. > :12:04.liner. 32 people died when the vessel hit rocks off an Italian
:12:05. > :12:11.island in 2012. The captain was also convicted of abandoning ship before
:12:12. > :12:15.his passengers and crew were clear. This was the definitive ruling by
:12:16. > :12:20.Italy's highest court. It had to consider an earlier ruling by a
:12:21. > :12:25.lower court which had convicted him on multiple counts of manslaughter,
:12:26. > :12:31.on causing a maritime accident, on abandoning ship before its
:12:32. > :12:34.passengers and true was safe,. Italy's highest court has decided
:12:35. > :12:42.that verdict is sound. And that is that. It now means that the captain
:12:43. > :12:45.will begin to serve his 16 year sentence under the weight Italian
:12:46. > :12:50.law works he did not have to serve it until it was finally concluded.
:12:51. > :12:56.That has now happened. His lawyer says his he is on his way to hand
:12:57. > :13:00.himself in. Has there been any reaction from the families of those
:13:01. > :13:05.who died? A lawyer spoke on the steps of the court saying that this
:13:06. > :13:09.is finally justice at last. They're in mind this was more than five
:13:10. > :13:13.years ago that this happened and the captain throughout that time has
:13:14. > :13:17.suggested he was not to blame. The families disagreed. Now the court
:13:18. > :13:22.has sided with the families saying that the captain's bad handling of
:13:23. > :13:27.the ship, his decision not to steer it properly, his decision to abandon
:13:28. > :13:33.ship before everyone was safe, is an issue for which he has to serve 16

:17:54. > :17:58.but the grievances remain genuine. Like many communities
:17:59. > :18:02.in South Africa, most people just want a piece of land to build
:18:03. > :18:06.a house on - a simple request that successive administrations
:18:07. > :18:10.have failed to address. Corruption is often cited
:18:11. > :18:14.as the reason why the government appears unable to deliver
:18:15. > :18:32.on the many promises The United States and China have
:18:33. > :18:37.announced a new trade deal. The unexpected agreement gives US
:18:38. > :18:41.farmers, energy companies and financial services access to China's
:18:42. > :18:45.huge market. It also reflects the warming in relations between
:18:46. > :18:51.Washington and Beijing. Our business correspondence has more. It is a
:18:52. > :18:57.really significant deal and broadly speaking it gives American credit
:18:58. > :18:59.rating agencies and credit card companies, financial services
:19:00. > :19:03.basically, access to China's all-important market, the
:19:04. > :19:07.middle-class in particular American beef exporters will also be able to
:19:08. > :19:12.sell their products in China after years of being banned, and China
:19:13. > :19:16.will also accept shipments of US liquefied natural gas. In return
:19:17. > :19:20.China gets to sell its cooked poultry products to the US. But
:19:21. > :19:26.frankly this isn't just a deal about trade. It is also about
:19:27. > :19:29.relationships. Typically the criticism from foreign investors who
:19:30. > :19:34.are doing business in China, they say it is usual China late that
:19:35. > :19:38.benefits the most. That is what Trump has said on the campaign
:19:39. > :19:43.train, that is he has promised to make China play by the rules and
:19:44. > :19:46.open up its might markets to American businesses. This deal looks
:19:47. > :19:49.like he has gone some way to getting what he wants. But Beijing is not
:19:50. > :19:57.one to give something for nothing. This weekend China is hosting a
:19:58. > :20:01.summit, is coming out party to the world. And it wants global
:20:02. > :20:05.recognition for this plan. Part of this trade deal includes the US

:20:08. > :20:16.previous administrations never did before.
:20:17. > :20:20.Now all the sport. Chelsea are playing the game in which they could

:20:24. > :20:28.years, three more points is all they need. They have three games to do it
:20:29. > :20:30.but they would love to do it in the first one, that is against West
:20:31. > :20:36.Bromwich be right now. They have had just over an hour and it is still
:20:37. > :20:39.0-0. If Chelsea do not wrap it up in this match they have another chance
:20:40. > :20:46.on Monday night against Watford at home. They are currently goalless.
:20:47. > :20:49.It is one of two matches being played tonight in the Premier
:20:50. > :20:57.League. Currently Everton are leading 1-0 against Watford in the
:20:58. > :21:01.other. Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton was the fastest in one of two practice
:21:02. > :21:13.sessions. It was an embarrassing day for the hero. Formula 1 you season
:21:14. > :21:17.kicks up with Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona. The teams took to the
:21:18. > :21:21.track for the first time on Friday with two 1.5 hour sessions. All of
:21:22. > :21:26.the teams brought a lot of our Islamic upgrades to the race and on
:21:27. > :21:30.the evidence site far it looked like first blood to Mercedes. Lewis
:21:31. > :21:34.Hamilton was fastest in both of the two practice sessions closely
:21:35. > :21:40.followed by his team-mate. This is an important race for Halton, used
:21:41. > :21:44.to reassert himself within the team after his team-mate won his first
:21:45. > :21:53.Grand Prix in Russia two weeks ago. So far so good Hamilton. Behind him
:21:54. > :21:57.came the two Ferraris. A good day for others. The only person who
:21:58. > :22:04.didn't have a good day was the double world hero Fernando Alonso.
:22:05. > :22:07.He was last in both sessions and managed just two corners of the
:22:08. > :22:11.first session before his engine let go. He managed a few more laps in
:22:12. > :22:15.the second session but was still slowest of everybody. A slightly
:22:16. > :22:23.depressing time for the crowd and their driver. Rafa Nadal described
:22:24. > :22:29.his straight sets win is a beautiful match as he set up a meeting with
:22:30. > :22:34.Novak Djokovic. He managed a bruising first set despite eight
:22:35. > :22:38.break points and then broke his opponents resolve with his
:22:39. > :22:45.relentless energy in the second set. Djokovic had a bye after his
:22:46. > :22:48.opponent withdrew through injury. Nadal and Djokovic will meet each

:23:35. > :23:40.year's competition has been overshadowed even more than usual by
:23:41. > :23:44.politics. The host nation Ukraine has barred Russia's singer from

:23:48. > :23:50.neighbours It's the final of the Eurovision
:23:51. > :24:24.Song contest this Saturday in Kiev. The UK's entry is one of its
:24:25. > :24:30.strongest in years. I'm nervous but if I wasn't I would worry about
:24:31. > :24:33.myself. Singing in front of 200 million people, if you are not
:24:34. > :24:37.nervous it is crazy. It is easy to forget there is a serious side to
:24:38. > :24:43.the annual fest of cacophony and kitsch. The idea behind the
:24:44. > :24:47.Eurovision Song contest is a noble one. To use music to break down
:24:48. > :24:51.borders and bring different countries and cultures and
:24:52. > :24:59.communities together. The problem this year is that politics is centre

:25:05. > :25:11.Eurovision host nation has barred a singer. Ukraine said the artist had
:25:12. > :25:15.violated its border laws by visiting Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsular
:25:16. > :25:22.annexed by Russia. She was back there this week, stoking the
:25:23. > :25:27.controversy. Then there is Brexit. Theresa May thinks that will spoil
:25:28. > :25:28.our Eurovision party. In current circumstances I don't know how many
:25:29. > :25:33.votes we will get. LAUGHTER
:25:34. > :25:40.But even before Brexit the UK was struggling in Eurovision. That must

:25:44. > :25:48.that is the reason. Nobody votes for us when the songs are bad at the
:25:49. > :25:54.singers are bad, and we had some bad ones, I tell you! So maybe, just
:25:55. > :26:01.maybe, with a good song and a great performance, the UK can achieve
