6:02 am
say the true number of his victims could be in the hundreds or even thousands. simon clemison reports. patients are meant to be able to trust their doctor, but ian paterson practice at the exact opposite and betrayed his patients on some scale. he told people they were at risk of cancer and operated on them unnecessarily. the breast surgeon worked in private and nhs hospitals in the west midlands, and while staff in the public sector now hold each other to account, lawyers representing some of the victims are today calling for a full, independent enquiry in two over site of private sector healthcare. one senior surgeon of private sector healthcare. one senior surgeon says of private sector healthcare. one senior surgeon says there is some way to go. no matter what the quality of surgery is in the private sector, there is much less observation going on and much less recording of detail than there is in
6:03 am
the nhs. the private provider where patterson operated has told the bbc: shirley maroni's sister, marie, was one of ian paterson's nhs patients. the surgeon originally carried out an incomplete mastectomy, instead of the double mastectomy she asked for. she then had a further double mastectomy, which delayed her chemotherapy. my sister was a police officerfor 30 years, she believed in the justice system and she believed in fairness and quite frankly this wasn't fair, this wasn't just. marie frankly this wasn't fair, this wasn'tjust. marie died in 2008 secondary wasn'tjust. marie died in 2008 secondary cancer wasn'tjust. marie died in 2008 secondary cancer in her lungs, it's impossible to know the extent to which ian paterson's failures contributed to her death. the criminal case centred on the treatment of nine other women and one man but solicitors say there are hundreds of patients now looking for
6:04 am
compensation. ian paterson has been told he'll face prison when he is sentenced next month. simon clemison, bbc news. european union leaders are meeting in brussels today to formally agree their negotiating stance for brexit. president of the european council, donald tusk, has said the eu won't discuss its future relationship with the uk until it's happy that enough progress has been made on settling past issues. those include a so—called divorce settlement. and we'll be live with all the latest reaction from brussels from 7am. theresa may will campaign in scotland today for the first time since calling the general election. the conservatives currently hold one scottish seat at westminster but opinion polls suggest support for the party in scotland is growing. meanwhile, jeremy corbyn will urge young people to claim their future by voting labour in the election when he speaks in east london later. he will highlight figures that show 2.4 million young voters are missing from the electoral register. north korea has test fired a ballistic missile.
6:05 am
according to south korean and american officials it exploded shortly after take—off. the launch, from an airfield in pukchang, came just hours after a special session at the un security council in which the us pushed for tougher sanctions on the pyongyang regime. barbara plett—usher reports from the un headquarters in new york. after weeks of mounting concern in washington about north korea, the secretary of state arrived at the united nations to make his case. un sanctions aren't working, was the message. there needs to be a new campaign of pressure. and he clarified the stakes. ultimately this is being driven by america's own national security considerations, he said, so it is serious. with each successive detonation and missile test, north korea pushes north—east asia and the world closer to instability and broader conflict. the threat of a north korean nuclear attack on seoul or tokyo is real, and it is likely only a matter of time before north korea develops the capability to strike
6:06 am
the us mainland. despite un pressure, north korea's been able to accelerate its weapons programme, and shortly after mr tillerson spoke, it fired another missile, although that test seems to have failed. but the trump administration is keeping open the threat of military action in case of further provocations. the latest missile test probably won't be enough of a trigger for that, but it may help strengthen international resolve to put the economic squeeze on north korea's determined young leader. barbara plett—usher, bbc news, at the united nations in new york. president trump responded overnight to the missile launch. in a tweet he said: well, last night, donald trump became the first us president in 30 years to address america's powerful
6:07 am
gun lobby, the national rifle association. on the eve of his 100th day in office, he told a rally in georgia what his administration had achieved so far and pledged to protect gun ownership. the eight—year assault on your second amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end. applause you have a true friend and champion in the white house. no longer will federal agencies be coming after law—abiding gun owners. applause a man is due to appear in court, charged with the murder of a former royal navy officer during a car theft in manchester. mike samwell was knocked down as he tried to stop thieves taking his car in chorlton last weekend. ryan gibbons, who's 29, is also accused of burglary. two men and a 15—year—old boy
6:08 am
arrested on suspicion of murder have been released on police bail, pending further inquiries. head teachers will today be asked to vigorously oppose the expansion of grammar schools in england. school leaders gathering at their annual conference are warning of a perfect storm of pressures which could have dire consequences for standards and pupils. the conservatives are planning a fresh wave of grammars, but labour and the lib dems are strongly against them. here's our education correspondent marc ashdown. this tuition centre in kent is popular with parents who hope it will help their children when a plate at a low salt —— place at a local grammar school. a wave of new grammars is likely to be a key plank of the conservative manifesto, theresa may feel strongly they can boost social mobility. absolutely
6:09 am
the mix and the democratic we have of children coming to any of our centres is not exclusively middle—class at all —— demographic. i think it's aspirational parents, especially in areas where those opportunities are available. but today at their annual conference, head teachers will be asked to vote ona head teachers will be asked to vote on a motion to vigorously oppose the expansion of selective schools, it's a policy they'll be told for the view at the expense of the many. grammars might be the hot topic but heads say there are also facing increasing difficulties recruiting and retaining staff. brexit is a source of uncertainty and the debate continues overfunding. source of uncertainty and the debate continues over funding. it is, source of uncertainty and the debate continues overfunding. it is, heads claim, a perfect storm of pressures. a storm it is feared will have dire consequences for standards and pupils. we've got new gcses and new a—levels that we can't afford to give them textbooks for, so teachers are constantly having to make up the
6:10 am
things they're doing to make sure those students are still successful. the department of education maintains that schools have had record levels of investment but with labour and liberal and is strongly opposing more grammars, is likely to bea opposing more grammars, is likely to be a key policy battle in the run—up to the election. marc ashdown, bbc news. the eighth biggest firms build more than half of all new homes and they are calling on the government to do more to is help smaller builders that don't have the same scale to build these projects. we all know britain is not building enough homes to meet demand, that's why house prices are out of reach for many, especially in the south. but an all—party group of mps says we could be building far more if smaller house builders were supported. the communities and local government committee says the top eight builders in the uk account for more than half of new homes constructive. it says smaller builders should get support from
6:11 am
government to help them buy land. and local authorities should help them provide more infrastructure such as road and public transport to an elbow housebuilding. and britain should encourage more people to build their own homes, already popular in europe. we aren't building enough homes, we need to be building enough homes, we need to be building at least 200,000 homes a year and probably quite a few more to keep pace with household formation. it's dominated by a small number of developers. they will build a certain of properties to maximise their profits and they won't build the total number needed, so we won't build the total number needed, so we need to take action on a whole range of fronts to make sure we get that number up. the home builders federation welcomes the report but says only larger firms could spread risks and costs associated with how housebuilding across dozens of sites. now, you can keep your fancy sports cars, just look at this for a show—stopping mode of transport. a british inventor has built an iron man—style suit and taken it for a spin to the delight of crowds at a design convention in vancouver.
6:12 am
richard browning said he's had a huge amount of interest since posting a video of its maiden flight. but he insists the project in just a bit of fun and is unlikely to become a mainstream method of transportation. who knows! i think he's right. just hovering around. it's like he is using giant aerosol cans. hovering around. it's like he is using giant aerosol canslj hovering around. it's like he is using giant aerosol cans. i worry about his health and safety. he is getting higher. we could stay with this all morning. do you want one, be honest? yes. of course you do. everyone wants one. no, i don't. you don't, when is your birthday? i'm too scared, don't even think about it, i'm not sure we could afford one, they are very expensive. they
6:13 am
are home—made! one, they are very expensive. they are home-made! let's look at the papers, the telegraph leads with the story we are talking about this morning, the cover—up over a rogue surgeon morning, the cover—up over a rogue surgeon playing god, and there are calls for a public enquiry into what happened with mr paterson and what lessons happened with mr paterson and what lesso ns ca n happened with mr paterson and what lessons can be learned from his case. front page of the times has a picture from the raid in willesden we we re picture from the raid in willesden we were reporting yesterday that happened on thursday night, they're saying a yemeni born in britain is being held over what police say is an active terror plot. the daily mail also asking this morning, why did the nhs failed to stop the butcher surgeon? and a photograph at the side, and exclusive first photograph of marine a, mr blackman, released yesterday from prison after completing his revised sentence, now back, and in theirfirst interview
6:14 am
she says she has her hero back. the mirror has the same lead, they are suggesting maybe up to 1000 patients may have been affected by the doctor, ian paterson. we will look inside the paper is a bit later and mike will tell us about what is in the sports papers. simon fanshawe is reviewing the papers with us this morning. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: the number of victims of breast surgeon ian paterson could run into hundreds, or even thousands, according to solicitors. ian paterson was convicted yesterday of carrying out needless operations. north korea has launched another ballistic missile, hours after washington called for a tougher international approach towards the communist state. according to south korean and american officials, the missile exploded shortly after lift—off. also coming up in the programme: click investigates a company claiming to offer "absolute security" and discovers all is not what it seems. bank holiday weekend. what's it
6:15 am
going to be like? mixed, i imagine. good morning. the weather is behaving fairly well today but many of us are fine and dry. things will be turning a little bit warmer through the bank holiday weekend. quite breezy, but there is a chance that some of us will see rain, especially during sunday and into monday. certainly not all of us. front is approaching from the. before it gets there, high pressure dominating the weather for many of us. dominating the weather for many of us. a cloudy day, but the cloud should be in and break up and looking dry almost across. a few showers dotted around through the morning. at 9am plenty of sunshine in southern counties of england, with temperatures about 9— 10 degrees. patchy cloud working north across wales, northern england, the
6:16 am
isle of man could catch a light shower and a couple in scotland. for northern ireland, central and northern scotland, a lot of dry and pretty decent looking weather. as we had through the day the breeze will pick up, especially across the western side of the country. the breeze comes in from the south, central and eastern areas less windy. temperatures 17— 18 degrees. a touch warmer today than it has been. if you are planning a barbecue this evening things are looking dry and clearfor this evening things are looking dry and clear for many. this evening things are looking dry and clearfor many. late sunshine, largely clear skies into the night and we start to see cloud working in from the south—west on the early hours of sunday morning. for most of our sunday looks for us free. a bit ofa our sunday looks for us free. a bit of a mixed picture into sunday. —— frost free. with low pressure approaching there will be wet weather in south—west england and wales. with the squeeze in the isobars it will be a breezy viewing day. the breeze coming from the south—east. if you have the breeze
6:17 am
around the east coast it will be cool around the east coast it will be cool. inland, looking pretty decent. towards wales, northern ireland and south—west england the rain moves in from the south—west. a bit of uncertainty. exactly how far north and east it will get is unclear. still a few showers towards the south. temperatures about 12— 16 degrees or so. a bit of rain but all in all quitea degrees or so. a bit of rain but all in all quite a bit of dry weather through the bank holiday as well. great news. thank you. we will be back with the news at 6:30am. time now to take a look at the latest cinema releases. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. hi jason, what do we have this week?
6:18 am
long weekend, a visit to the cinema is on the agenda for many families, and they can climb aboard a spaceship if they like. those saviours of space, the guardians of the galaxy, are back, complete with talking raccoon for volume two of guardians of the galaxy. the terrible atrocities of the armenian genocide in the first world war era turkey are on the agenda in the promise, getting big screen love treatment with christian bale, and rising star florence pugh takes centre stage for lady macbeth, a low—budget british chiller that has nothing to do with shakespeare. i was at the cinema at the weekend and i saw the trailer for guardians of the galaxy vol 2. oh my goodness, even watching the trailer, ifelt like i was bombarded with this wall of noise and fury and funny little creatures. that sums it up really. we'll move on! laughter if you saw volume 1 , you'll
6:19 am
know that it is about... there a talking raccoon, a talking tree, it doesn't say much. itjust says, "i am groot." that tree has now been cut down to a tiny tree which is very cute. bear with me on this. i'll take your word for it. i don't know what they do, they save the galaxy from something, although the raccoon who is voiced by bradley cooper steals some stuff which means that half of the galaxy is after them in a kind of flash gordon style chase. as we join the action now, as they like to say in the crucible in sheffield, they are being chased by hordes of golden aliens. this is weird, we've got a sovereign fleet approaching from the rear. why would they do that? probably because rocket stole some of their batteries. dude! right. he didn't steal some of those. i don't know why they are after us. what a mystery this is. what were you thinking? dude, they were really
6:20 am
easy to steal. that's your defence! come on, you saw how that high priestess talked down to us. now, i am teaching her a lesson! i didn't realise your motivation was on altruism. it is a shame that the sovereign had mistaken your intentions and are trying to kill us. exactly! i was being sarcastic! oh no! you're supposed to use a sarcastic voice! now i look foolish. can you put the bickering on hold until after we survive this massive space battle? ok, the raccoon looks quite cute. that's what i'm taking from that. people call him a puppy. a triangle—faced panda. it is a film about banter and insult and very little else. strangely enough. i kind of enjoyed it in a kind of lobotomised carapace that i entered. it doesn't really go anywhere. there is a plot about chris pratt's character going to find his father played by kurt russell who has luxuriant hair and delivers every line like he's looking in the bathroom mirror. they have to explode this guy because he is a planet really and... it really makes no sense.
6:21 am
it is kind of a pity, because if it had that it would be a much better superhero movie than normal. the colours are good, and if you like green, zoe saldana, and the other guy who is a benjamin thing type person, there's a lot to look at. visually it has a prog rock album cover look. it looks a bit like mike hodges' flash gordon all those years ago. it doesn't really go anywhere, and i feel that plotless in space leaves you a bit lost. you are — you're not selling it to me. i hate... i better stop saying that. if you liked the first one... is that who it is aimed at? it is not going to convert people who weren't there in the first place. if you did like the first one, there is nothing here that will put you off it, it feels like it is treading water into volume 3. oh my god! it is inevitable. thanks for leaving me with that thought. shall we move on? to something that is not volume two of anything. this is a change of pace, this is the promise which stars christian bale and oscar isaac and a french actress charlotte le bon.
6:22 am
she is no relation to the duran duran singer. this is set against the terrible atrocities of the armenian genocide, which took place in 1914, 1915 in turkey. 1.5 million armenians were killed in that. yet to be acknowledged as a genocide. it has never had a big—screen treatment, only a few times been dealt with in popular culture. and here it is really fronted in what has become a sort of love war—torn epic with this love triangle. christian bale, as we can see him there, oscar isaac, and charlotte le bon. they try to stay together during the terrors of this war where armenians are being turfed out of villages, ethnically cleansed is the modern term. they are moved away. the turks arejoined with the germans in this war and it becomes a sort of uneasy mix of terrible tragedy with this kind of beating heart love story. is that the director trying to inform us all about history? history that he clearly feels we should know more about by using that ge—old tradition of a love story. love triangle, but still a love story. that is a sort of thing we have seen
6:23 am
in second world war movies and first world war movies countless times. but here, i didn't really know about the armenian genocide and i'm not alone in this. many people don't. and i don't really know much more about it having seen the film, which i think is a pity, because that is what is important. there are some terrible things that were done to the armenian population, concentration camps, train transport, in a way which sort of foreshadow holocaust movies and holocaust tropes that we see. kristallnacht—style kind of riot in the streets where the armenian shop owners were rounded up. these are a very interesting kind of foreshadowing. it is partly interesting to the point where a love story didn't interest me at all, i wanted to find out what was happening to the armenians. bit of a pity. but you need that love story to give you entry into the story. they play it very well, oscar isaac is good, christian bale is good as a gruff ap news reporter, and charlotte le bon lacks a bit of star power in the middle of it. it is very well intentioned. but i don't think it is going to be the monument that the armenian genocide
6:24 am
deserves in terms of cinema. let's move on to a film i feel a lot of people are talking about. lady macbeth, not to do with the shakespeare play. not really. if shakespeare is not your thing don't let that put you off. but she is a lady macbeth like character. this is played by a british rising star called florence pugh, who was in carol morley‘s film, the falling. this is her second major role and she completely devours this role. it is like watching someone blossom on screen. she is terrific. she plays a woman called katherine who is sold to a wealthy mine—owning family up north and becomes a wife, imprisoned in this terrible house which creaks and cracks and the wind wuthers through. the husband goes away. she is left to rule the house herself and gets drunk on the power and takes a fancy to herself as lady of the manor and takes a fancy to sebastian the stable boy played by cosmojarvis. they have a torrid affair
6:25 am
and here they are out on the moors. could you do without me? it's husbands and wives that kiss like that. laughter she won't speak. you know i shant be parted from your life, sebastian. through hell and high water, i will follow you. to the cross, to the prison, to the grave, to the sky. i'd rather stop you breathing than have you doubt how i feel. florence pugh, as you say, a lot of people talking about her, she was only 19 when that was filmed. it is a debut by the director as well. yes, william old royd, he is an opera director,
6:26 am
and the story has been made into an opera before. it was banned byjoseph stalin because it was feared that women would take instruction from this film and become rebellious from that opera. have our own mind! yes, it's terrible, it should never happen! what a suggestion! the way that she does it in this film it is perhaps a good idea, she has a terrible consequence for her thirst. we admire her and love her, and think she is brilliant, but she's terribly complex. the way it is played is brilliant. i think this is one of the best british debuts i have seen in ages, and if you think it is a costume drama, think again. it kind of subverts all those frills and furbelows and merchant ivoryness. it is stark and lean and kind of frightening and macabre. it has a fairly mixed race cast with two black characters which bring another shade of class and race to that period drama. i think it is a superb film, five stars from me. fantastic. there is the bank holiday viewing sorted. a quick thought about the best out. one, to my shame, i have still not had a chance to see and i am dying to see.
6:27 am
this is an oscar—nominated documentary called i am not your negro. it is still out at select cinemas if you can find it. or find it on some streaming channel somewhere. it is a terrific documentary examining race in america through the eyes of a forgotten activist, james baldwin, who is a sort of poet, kind ofjazz era writer and author and activist. an extraordinary figure who's put front and centre of this, an examination of the civil rights movement hrough him, but it is an angry and powerful film. i can't forget it. i'm surprised it didn't win the best picture at the oscars. it is voiced by samuel ljackson doing james baldwin's narrative. i think it's one of the best things samuel ljackson has ever done. the dvd, have you picked this just for me? your choice is reminding me how old i am, normally it is something that is out in the last few months. i would never do that, remind a lady of her age. now you've taken us back to the 1980s. 1985, letter to brezhnev, which is like me delving into my albums and coming out now that's what i call music 4. yes!
6:28 am
it is very much a soundtrack album from that era. it is a film that everyone went to see, it is the story of two girls in liverpool on a night out and falling in love with two russian sailors, played by peter firth and alfred molina, who have gone on to big things as well. margi clark as well is one of the girls. it has got bronsky beat in it. we all went to see it. it was the film to see. it was a film everyone saw. it was about working—class liverpool, thatcher era britain. it was a rebellious film. but it was also bleak in that classic british way. restored and put on blu—ray, i wonder if the grit will still hold to it, but i think it is a real snapshot of britain that might have been forgotten. a kind of lost classic film, but one, as you hear the name, letter to brezhnev, you are reminded of it. it is a cult classic from the british archives and i'm delighted it is out for a new generation to witness on blu—ray and dvd. and for you to be reminded of your youth. thank you, jason.
6:29 am
you can come again. thank you very much and enjoy your bank holiday viewing. tbank you. that is it for this week for now. enjoy your cinema going and we'll see you next time. bye bye. hello, this is breakfast, with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up before 7am, sarah will have the weekend's weather for you. mike will also have the sport and the big fight preview. but first at 6:30am, a summary of this morning's main news. there are growing calls for a public inquiry following the conviction of a breast surgeon who carried out a series of needless operations. ian paterson was found guilty of intentionally wounding his patients at two private hospitals in the west midlands. now solicitors working on the case say the true number of his victims could be in the hundreds or even thousands. ian paterson was told he will likely face prison when he's sentenced next month. european union leaders are meeting in brussels today to formally agree their negotiating stance for brexit.
6:30 am
president of the european council, donald tusk, has said the eu won't discuss its future relationship with the uk until it's happy that enough progress has been made on settling past issues. those include the so—called divorce settlement which is the money the eu believes it would still be owed by the uk. theresa may will campaign in scotla nd theresa may will campaign in scotland today for the first time since calling the general election, the conservatives hold one seat in westminster. jeremy corbyn will say young people should reclaim their future by voting labour when he speaks in london later. he says 2.5 million voters are missing from the electoral adjuster. —— electoral register. north korea has test fired a ballistic missile. according to south korean and american officials it exploded shortly after take—off. the launch, from an airfield in pukchang, came just hours after a special session at the un security council in which the us pushed for tougher
6:31 am
sanctions on the pyongyang regime. president trump says north korea's latest missile test disrespects china's wishes. we can speak to alexjenson, a journalist in the south korean capital of soul. thanks forjoining us on capital of soul. thanks forjoining us on breakfast. from what you have been able to piece together so far, what has happened overnight? what's happened around 5:30am is north korea has rather predictably gone ahead with a missile test, i predicted this on social media earlier this week because of the news about the un security council, north korean rhetoric throughout the week was unhappy this meeting was taking place, a special meeting, the first time dedicated to north korea. it sees it as being very unfair and hypocritical, but especially from the us perspective, so what north korea did is it went ahead with some
6:32 am
sort of ballistic missile, something closer to its cutting edge of development because it failed, just as it did a couple of weeks back with another launch attempt, also on a weekend, and by the way this is the 50th missile launch under kim jong—un since he came to power at the end of 2011. the timing, just hours after the un meeting, is significant, isn't it? it's almost like a message in itself. it isjust defiance, pure defiance, and donald trump may have responded with his usual tweet by suggesting that there was a wedge being driven between north korea and china but that would be such a simplistic reading of the situation. the fact is donald trump is providing the uncertainty here, it's the flip—flopping of washington between the sensible and less sensible heads. the seeming working out of this situation so publicly, that's quite worrying. north korea is just that's quite worrying. north korea isjust doing its that's quite worrying. north korea is just doing its thing, as that's quite worrying. north korea isjust doing its thing, as it's been doing for years. the other
6:33 am
changing factor could be south korea, we've got a big election here from may the ninth and that will likely elect a liberal leader who would be far more will include co—operate with north korea. so from the perspective of pyongyang, they can sit back in the knowledge that it is business as usual but the uncertainty here is really from the us side. talking of south korea, where you are in seoul, what's the reaction on the streets among voters and normal people going on about their lives when they hear about another one of these tests. does it frighten them or does it almost become another weekly event, it passes by unnoticed ? become another weekly event, it passes by unnoticed? definitely the index of concern is risen but that doesn't mean we are anything like at fever pitch to be perfectly honest, and it is business as usual, part of thatis and it is business as usual, part of that is because you get used to anything in life over a period of months and years. the other major reason is i think people generally don't believe north korea wants to don't believe north korea wants to do anything, north korea has its own
6:34 am
very specific agenda, it wants to control this peninsula but it doesn't want to aggressively expand into other territories, it has already been able to fire on soul but has desired it not to do that. the key indicator would be for that election. if we were to see a conservative candidate when it would inject a genuine fear because they would take security very seriously, but we are seeing the front runner, moonjae—in, who worked as chief of staff during the sunshine policy era of the mid to thousands of the first decade of this new century when south korea was doing a lot to help north korea, sending aid to co—operate. while we might not see that fully come into place again, we would see more cooperation, if people vote them in they can't be that worried that north korea is impossible to deal with. alex jenson, thank you forjoining us from seoul. mike is here and there is one big
6:35 am
story in town? there is. a fascinating contrast between anthony joshua at 27 and vladimir klitschko, 41. the guardian has said they have been so respectful of each other they might elope. it's if refreshing —— refreshing. they might elope. it's if refreshing -- refreshing. it's great. they stand out as role models. is it a bit boring? i don't think so, they will do their talking in the ring. fascinating matchup, joshua was six yea rs old fascinating matchup, joshua was six years old when klitschko won his olympic gold in 96 in atlanta, many yea rs later olympic gold in 96 in atlanta, many years laterjoshua won his olympic gold in 2012 before turning professional as well. the countdown is on then for tonight's world heavyweight title fight as anthonyjoshua meets former champion wladimir klitshcko at wembley the fighters weighed—in, withjoshua10lb heavier than his ukrainian opponent. klitschko weighed—in at 17st 2lb. it's his his first fight since losing his belts to britain's tyson fury in 2015. but this is klitschko's 69th professional fight, joshua has had just 18. eye to eye, six foot six apiece, a
6:36 am

for sunderland who take on bournemouth at the stadium of light. david moyes‘ side can be relegated if they fail to at least match hull city's result at southampton. we'll need a really, really good run of results for things to go our way but while there's a chance we're not going to admit to anything else. so we've got to try and win. we have done and said in every other game that we've got to try and win and we've not done so. what i'd say about this one is we're at home, we've got a great chance, we played quite well in recent games so we'll ta ke quite well in recent games so we'll take that into the game and hope we can geta take that into the game and hope we can get a decent result from it. andy murray is through to the semi—final of the barcelona open after a hard —fought victory against albert ramos—vinolas. the spaniard knocked murray out of the monte carlo masters last week and took the first set here, but the world number one fought back to take the match two sets to one. meanwhile, maria sharapova is through to the semi—final of stuttgart‘s wta tournament

in the other semi—final, john higgins is 10—6 up against barry hawkins after winning a marathon final frame in yesterday afternoon's session. they start again at 10am this morning. in the week that england's cricketers start their summer with a one—day international against ireland, the sport that gave the world its first wicket is also into its new season. it's been played since the 15th century and, as i've been finding out, stool ball has been enjoying a resurgence in recent years. old father time on the clubhouse and the familiar sound of bat on ball in the familiar sound of bat on ball in the evening sunshine. but this isn't cricket. this is a sport that dates back even further. and in stool ball, the wicket is up in the air. the wicket in the air because basically when you bowl, the ball leaves the bolder‘s hand, it doesn't

touch the ground. you're actually batting strip doesn't need to be as well prepared as a cricket strip. it's thought the game was originally played in churchyards in the 15th century by people who just wanted to throw a stone or a ball at a tree stump, another name for which is a stool. trouble is with tree stumps you can't move them anywhere. so stool ball players then started using church gates, also known as wicket gates, they could be lifted off and played with and this is where it's believed the word wicket comes from. the sport was flourishing at the turn of last century when keeping your top hat on was an extra challenge for the batsmen and women running between the wickets, which, by now, was side boards attached to the top of posts. and here it is in progress in the kentish village green. in the 1940s and 50s when there were 3000 stool ball clu bs and 50s when there were 3000 stool ball clubs competing in leagues and schools, the attire was much more

6:48 am
have been hacked. ha5 yours? last year, yahoo announced that over 1.5 billion e—mail accounts were compromised between 2013 and 2014, the largest breach in history. then it emerged that russian hacker5 had gained access to 60,000 e—mail5 from hillary clinton's presidential campaign. some believe the resulting leaks helped swing the election for trump. and what it certainly did reveal is something mo5t of us already knew. we send, each of us, all the time, hugely personal information around the internet. information that we'd like to keep private, but others are all too often able to see. so how about something that guarantees to protect
6:49 am
all of those e—mails? sounds like something you wanna have, doesn't it? well, this is nomx, a box which promises to secure your e—mails 100%. it was at ces that we came across this device as it was introduced to the world and it caught our eye. i met the boss, will donald5on, who has impre55ive security credentials himself. he's worked in computer security and built web applications for the pentagon, the marine corps and he was chief technology officer for the f35 joint strike fighter communications facility. so what does he think is wrong with bog standard e—mail? well, the nomx promotional videos explain the problem. when you send an e—mail, copies of the message end up on several internet servers along the way. will says all of the recent big e—mail hacks have involved one of these servers being compromised, and what's more,
6:50 am
through a known vulnerability. so those vulnerabilities, we've identified six core ones that encompass 100% of the hacks that have occurred to date. will's solution is a $199 box that acts as your own personal e—mail server. it'll talk to other e—mail services, but where it comes into its own is when it connects directly to another nomx box at the other end, the pair of them replacing the cloud servers that your message would usually flow through. that means no copies are stored anywhere but on your box and the recipient's. the idea has caught the imagination of some in the security industry, who've called it a "personal cloud on steroids" and will himself has become a bit of a star, being interviewed on us national television and elsewhere in the media as a security guru. so what you're pitching here is that you can make a black box,
6:51 am
that black box there, that is more secure than a multibillion dollar compa ny‘s servers? absolutely. it's been proved they're vulnerable, my question is to you is, you're not a multibillion dollar company. not yet. why should i believe that your security is any better than theirs and why should i believe that there are no vulnerabilities that you've accidentally left in your box? what we've done is identify the categories of those vulnerabilities and all of the hacks have occurred have been in those traces vulnerabilities. by removing them from the equation, we've now negated them on our protocol. so the theory sounds a good one, avoid making multiple copies of your messages across potentially vulnerable servers on the internet. you just have to rely on the nomx boxes themselves not being open to hacking. well...
6:52 am
you all know this man, dan simmons, one of click‘s most experienced reporters and famously, if someone says something is unbreakable, you try and break it? yeah! well, look, often on this programme we look at new things and we are as excited as anybody else to see them, but sometimes, just sometimes, something seems a little bit too good to be true and absolute security, i've never heard anyone in the cyber security industry promise that, but that's exactly what this company are doing. so to prove a point, you're going to try and hack this box? yeah. i think i've found somebody who might be able to do it. 0k! scott helm is one of the uk's most respected professional white hat hackers, or penetration testers. he's helped discover some big security flaws in the past, including hacking home routers and electric cars. scott's had the nomx box in his hands forjust a few minutes and he's already suspicious. hey, scott. how's it going? how'd you get on?
6:53 am
good, yeah. i've had a look over this device and i was quite surprised when you first gave it me. so when i flipped it over, we saw what we call the mac address here, which is the device's unique identifier and these first three segments there identify the manufacturer, that tells you who builds the device. so i went away and i looked these up and they're actually registered to the raspberry pi foundation that make the raspberry pi computer. that's the hobbyists' computer we've seen a lot of times on click. the credit—sized device. but nomx is the manufacturer, right? yeah. so what i did, i went ahead and opened this up and what we found inside... if i canjust open these parts here. is there is in fact a raspberry pi inside this, which is white felt, all white. wow. there's nothing else they've done with this that we can see inside. that's just a standard
6:54 am
£35 raspberry pi. correct. but what does that say to you when as a security guy when you look inside? i guess, there are further things to be found here that may surprise us. i've also asked professor alan woodward, a well—known cyber security expert, who's advised the uk government and europol, to take a look at the nomx box to see how it works. so, how have you got on? well, already through the set—up process, there's a few things for a product that bills itself as being absolutely secure, there's a few things that we found that give rise for concern. and we certainly want to look a bit further into it. just plugging it in has sent alarm bells ringing for alan. the set up of the device is through a web application that wasn't particularly helpful. it doesn't ask alan to open up port 25. now, that's a key port on his router he'll need to communicate with popular e—mail servers like gmail or microsoft accounts. it's never going to receive e—mail from an external service.
6:55 am
unless you change your router? unless you know to go to your router and change port 25. and does it tell you that? no, it doesn't, the documentation doesn't have it in there. it tells you all these other ports, but not port 25. so you're having a quiet life for a few years to come receiving no e—mails at all. but it gets better. hotmail instantly knows that you're sending it from a domestic ip address. it's what's called a dynamic address because it changes. it's not yours for life. every time you turn your router on you get a new one. it spots that and says, we don't accept e—mails from dynamic addresses. because theyjust assume nobody's going to be running an e—mail server on a domestic system like this. so this box can't send an e—mail to hotmail? to any hotmail address? no. and if you try and send it to something like gmail, then what happens is, because of things like the way hotmail spots it, as you'll see there, we're actually blacklisted already. spam house, which is one of biggest spam filters, says this is a spam box. it's blacklisted us. now, to be fair, nomx doesn't open port 25, it uses port 26. but as we've seen, without 25 open,
6:56 am
it's going to be difficult to hear from the rest of the world. well, bearing in mind it's got one job to do, which is be an e—mail server, that's a pretty poor show. and there were more surprises to come when alan opened the box. one of the simplest machines to break into is a raspberry pi. everything is on this one little card. it's on one of these tiny little cards. so all of your e—mails, all of your software, everything is running on one of these tiny little cards. now, actually, if somebody did have physical access to this what they could do is they could whip that card out, copy it, put the card back in, put it all back together and you'd be none the wiser and they've got a copy of everything, including your e—mail. because one of the things about this is it's not encrypted in any way on the card. this is not using any encryption at all? for storage, none at all. and what we did was, you said the simplest thing to do, because it is a complete raspberry pi, the simplest thing to do was actually plug it into a monitor and see what came up. so this is an hdmi cable?
6:57 am
hdmi cable. here we go. the first concern would be if it is actually running raspberry pi as an operating system, which it is, it immediately tells you it is. postfix is the mail transport agent, that's part of the mail server. it wasjust all totally standard stuff. so how old is the software on there at the moment? well, that's another thing that we found, which was really... i would say alarming. in that it's so old we couldn't actually get hold of some of the software. it's running raspberry pi's own operating system. it's a version called wizi, which you can no longer download from the raspberry pi website. they've taken it off because they don't want people downloading it, it's that old. likewise there's this postfix admin, there is another another piece of software called dovecot, all of which are free bits of software, but some of it dates back to 2009. it's inevitable that
6:58 am
people will find bugs, flaws, in any bit of software and what people do is they release a later version with the bug fixed. the problem with the way this is put together is there's no way of doing that. there's a whole series of things about the way this is put together that make you think, absolute security is... a stretch. now, it's important to say at this point, there's nothing wrong with the hardware or the software that you're talking about per se, raspberry pi is fine, the software used, postfix, admin, isjusta piece of off—the—shelf software. yeah, i mean, the raspberry pi is a great bit of hobbyist kit and postfix, as in the other programmes we have looked at, they do the job, if you've got the latest versions of them. but this box doesn't run those. by a mile it doesn't run those. they are still selling this box right now as a finished product? it was being sold when you were testing it? absolutely, and as we're filming it is today. ok, you've studied the box, what next? well, surprise, surprise, scott thinks he can hack it. i'm afraid because this is the short version of click, we're going to have to leave the story there. if you want to know more details
6:59 am
about the hack and if you'd like to hear from alan and scott about what happens after you hack a box like this, you're going to have to watch the full version, which is on iplayer right now. follow us on twitter too @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. hello, this is breakfast, with sally nugent and jon kay. calls for a public inquiry after a rogue breast surgeon is convicted of intentionally wounding his patients. ian paterson was accused of playing god by carrying out completely unnecessary operations. lawyers think he could have hundreds or even thousands of victims. good morning, it's saturday 29th april. also making news today: negotiating brexit. eu leaders meet in brussels to discuss how to tackle future talks with theresa may. another north korean missile test, but the us military says
