hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and sally nugent. the nhs faces a weekend of disruption following a large—scale cyber attack which has caused hospitals to delay treatments and cancel appointments. around a0 nhs trusts and some gp surgeries were hit, but there's no sign that patient data has been compromised. organisations around the world have been affected by the malicious iamat i am at saint barts, the largest nhs trust in the country, which runs five hospitals here in east london. all of them will be closed here today for routine outpatient appointments. organisations around the world have been affected by the malicious software known as "ransomware" with reports of infections in more than 70 countries. good morning. it's saturday, the 13th of may. also ahead, labour's deputy leader
6:01 am
tom watson warns his party faces a "margaret thatcher style" landslide defeat if it doesn't improve its ratings in the polls. chelsea can finally celebrate — michy batshuayi's late winner ensures they're the premier league champions in antonio conte's first season in charge. meanwhile, i've been playing masters rugby league, and finding out that age really is no barrier to getting fit, when it all comes down to the colour of the shorts you wear. from horse heads to monkeys, it can only be eurovision — but will the uk feel the brexit backlash? we'll look ahead to tonight's event. and helen has the weather. good morning. despite low pressure gci’oss good morning. despite low pressure across the uk today there is actually quite a lot of dry weather in the offing. i will have more on that in about 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. routine appointments and operations at some hospitals remain cancelled this morning after nhs organisations across england and scotland
6:02 am
were disrupted by a global cyber attack. britain's response to the attack is led by the national cyber security centre. but there's no evidence that patient data has been compromised. the first indication that something was wrong was mid—afternoon yesterday, when some hospital trusts and gp surgeries reported being locked out of their computers. vital informational such as patient records and appointment schedules were inaccessible. it meant operations were cancelled, patients were sent home and ambulances were diverted. the bbc understands that by late yesterday around a0 trusts and some surgeries in england and scotland had been affected. medical staff posted pictures of a pop—up with demands for money. the attack is a form of ransomware, a software that locks computer systems and then demands a payment to unlock the data. the prime minister, theresa may, said the incident was not an attack on the nhs, but part of a wider problem affecting around 70 countries, including spain and russia. andy moore has more details about the hack. this was the message that flashed up
6:03 am
on this was the message that flashed up o n cou ntless this was the message that flashed up on countless computers across the nhs. the system was locked, it said, and no files could be accessed until and no files could be accessed until a ransom was paid. the cyber attack had an immediate effect on patient services. this man's heart operation in london was cancelled.” services. this man's heart operation in london was cancelled. i was all ready. i've been shaved down the front of my chest because they were going to open the up, my arms have been shaved. i was all ready to go. nothing in my mouth is this morning. ati:30pm the nothing in my mouth is this morning. at 1:30pm the surgeon turned up and said, unfortunately we have been hacked, and there is nothing we can do, we cannot operate on you today. the nhs was just one of thousands of organisations dozens of countries. here at the national cyber security centre we are working around the clock with colleagues in policing, the health service, internationally,
6:04 am
and with private—sector experts to lead our response to those cyber attacks as they affect the uk. in scotland, at least half the health boards have been affected in some way. wales and northern ireland have so way. wales and northern ireland have so far escaped any problems. disruption in the nhs is likely to last several days at least. the official advice is to use the health service wisely. but make emergency admissions will not be affect. companies and organisations from europe to the us and russia have also been affected. it's believed the malware involved may have been stolen from america's national security agency. here's our technology correspondent, rory cellan—jones. it looked at first like an attack just on hospitals in the uk. it is now becoming clear this malicious softwa re is now becoming clear this malicious software has run riot around the world. russia, the united states and many points in between have been hit by what is now a common form of cyber crime. ransomware has become
6:05 am
the tool of choice for lots of criminals super because it is easy to make money very quickly. you can buy a ransom on life as little as $99. $0 buy a ransom on life as little as $99. so how does it work? it buy a ransom on life as little as s99. so how does it work? it often arise in the form of a link in an innocuous looking email. when you click on that link the malicious softwa re click on that link the malicious software is downloaded and spreads rapidly through your network, locking up the files on it. then a message flashes up on the screen warning that if you want your data unlock, you will have to pay a ransom, often in bitcoin, a virtual currency. the irony is that security experts think a hacking tool allegedly leaked from america's national security agency in april may have been used by the attackers. microsoft warned about the threat that this vulnerability posts, and said anybody who had installed a security update to windows software the previous month would be ok. health service will point out it is just one of many organisations around the world affected by this
6:06 am
attack, but it now faces what could bea attack, but it now faces what could be a lengthy process of cleaning up its computers and making the network safe again. and we will be talking about this story all morning. we will be at one of the affected hospitals injust a will be at one of the affected hospitals in just a few minutes. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, has warned of the conservatives winning a "margaret thatcher—style landslide" if they maintain their current lead in the opinion polls. mr watson told the guardian that it would be "very, very difficult" to turn the poll numbers around, and labour had a "mountain to climb." mrs thatcher won majorities of 144 in 1983, and 101 in 1987. the conservatives want to give people the power to demand that social media companies delete any embarrassing content they posted online before the age of 18. labour has questioned whether the legislation would be enforceable, given that most of the largest companies are based abroad. ofsted inspectors have revealed they were jostled and pelted with food by pupils during a two day visit to a secondary school in the west midlands.
6:07 am
the five—strong team rated the willenhall academy, near walsall, as "inadequate" for leadership, learning, and overall effectiveness. the ofsted report also found that year 11 students failed to reach their potential over a three—year period. us president donald trump has refused to confirm or deny whether the white house secretly records his telephone calls and meetings. yesterday the president appeared to warn the former fbi director, james comey, that his administration could produce tapes of their conversations if he spoke to the media. democrat leaders in congress have demanded an explanation. pope francis will canonise two portuguese children at a mass today on the spot where they reported seeing the virgin mary exactly 100 years ago. the service, in fatima, is expected to attract a million worshippers. alison roberts sent this report from portugal. it was 100 years ago today that
6:08 am
three children tending sheep near the village of fatima said the virgin mary had appeared to them. two of the children, jacinta and france's goal, died young. —— francisco. they are to be canonised by pope francis today after the case ofa by pope francis today after the case of a boy in brazil who recovered from injuries after his family prayed to the fatima visionaries. the third child of divisions later wrote down three so—called secrets that mary had told them. over the decades fatima has become one of the world's most important catholic shrines. we must be here to make stronger our faith, shrines. we must be here to make stronger ourfaith, and shrines. we must be here to make stronger our faith, and to show other people that if you want committee can do anything. this is an excellent opportunity, to see him drive via, to celebrate mass with him. on the eve of his trip, the pope described himself as a pilgrim of hope and peace. at the shrine, he
6:09 am
prayed with the faithful before the traditional candlelight procession. pope francis is the fourth pope to visit fatima, but the centenary and the canonisation of the two little shepherds give this year's ceremonious special significance for catholics in portugal and around the world. —— ceremony a special significance. tonight it's the eurovision song contest, and after failing to make it into the top 10 for the past seven years, could this be the year britain bounces back? our moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg, is in kiev and has been to meet lots of the contestants, including luciejones, who'll be representing the uk in the tonight's competition. singing. it is eurovision 2017, and it is all rather confusing. take azerbaijan's entry. a horse had on a ladder. why? the audience is not understanding
6:10 am
it. iam the audience is not understanding it. i am leaving the whole meaning to them. well, that's clear, then. and what is going on with one of the favourites, italy, this year? why the monkey? why are the eighth? —— the monkey? why are the eighth? —— the ape. the monkey, he tells me, is a symbol that at the end of the day we are all naked apes. among the front—runners are bulgaria and portugal. but what about the united kingdom? you know, there was a time when the uk was always a contender in eurovision. we always seems to be in with a shot at the top spot. more recently we have been propping up the table. at black could this be the table. at black could this be the year that written is back? —— but could this be the year that britain is back. at rehearsals, luciejones has britain is back. at rehearsals, lucie jones has been britain is back. at rehearsals, luciejones has been impressing everybody with her power allied,
6:11 am
never give up everybody with her power allied, nevergive up on everybody with her power allied, never give up on you.|j everybody with her power allied, never give up on you. i am hoping that i will go home with the respect of the nation that watched the show at home. if the uk wants success in eurovision this could be our golden opportunity. iamjust i am just wondering how that voting is going to go tonight. yes. the prospect of fee nul points looms large tonight. let's return to our lead story this morning. this is the hacking attack on the nhs trusts across the uk. we will bring you up—to—date with the scale of the problem this morning. a sense from the newspapers of how it has been reported. hackers hold nhs to ransom, on the front page of the telegraph. doctors warned that lives are at risk. they are attacking hospitals and computer systems. essentially, many of the routine business of hospitals is grinding to
6:12 am
a halt because the computer systems are unusable. and if you have been into a hospital recently, you'll notice that everybody is wandering around with some kind of device. people have their records on, patient treatment plans. it is hugely important. the front page of the mirror has the same headline, hackers hold nhs to ransom. operations axed, it systems in chaos. bartz nhs trust in london, the largest in the country, has cancelled all its appointments today. andy moore is live for us. is there any indication at all of when things might be back to normal? that is the big question, and nobody really at the moment has an answer. saint barts, as you said, this big nhs trust which runs five hospitals, with 15,000 staff and two and a half million patients, all across east london, they say that today all those routine outpatient departments will be cancelled that all the hospitals. but we do not know what is going to happen tomorrow will
6:13 am
today after that. we know the disruption is likely to last for some time. there was a hospital in hollywood in the united states that was hit by a similar software bug, oran was hit by a similar software bug, or an attack, last year. it eventually pay the ransom. but it took about ten days before its systems were back to normal. you mentioned an attack in the united states. the government was keen to stress this morning that the nhs is not the only organisation to be targeted. i think there are 70 countries that have been affected by this. yeah, that number might have gone up overnight. one organisation is saying that 99 countries, it believes, have been attacked. 53,000 separate attacks. an incredible indiscriminate global attack. one that cyber security companies are calling the biggest ransomware attack in history. lots of agencies are working on this. the cyber security centre here in the uk,
6:14 am
homeland security and united states offering help to other agencies. lots of people are working on solving this problem. it seems that the bug may have been stopped in its tracks. it doesn't seem to be affecting any more computers. but getting it fixed will take a long time. andy moore, thank you. that is what we will be talking about this morning, how long it will take to actually get things back on track. yes, later this morning we will be speaking to amber rudd, the home secretary, for the latest on the situation. right now, though, it is 6:14am. let's look at the weather. good morning. a lovely sunrise this morning. this was taken in southwark normal ago. there will be a bit of dry weather on offer this weekend. but also you can see for yourself in the wigan highland it is foggy this morning. we have quite a lot of low
6:15 am
cloud coming off the north sea at the moment. all of that moisture. it has been muggy. we will move that and the fault will clear. you can see the cloud around. not plain sailing. we have low pressure across the country. rain around as well. a few showers elsewhere. they will start to move away. for england and wales it is an improving picture. we have a few scattered showers. further north it will take a while longerfor the rain to further north it will take a while longer for the rain to clear. further north it will take a while longerfor the rain to clear. we should have some sunshine coming through as we go through the morning. the low cloud starts to lift. just a scattering of showers. temperatures will soon start to respond. not much on —— sunshine for parts. ahead of the rain we could have19— parts. ahead of the rain we could have 19— 20 in scotland. down on yesterday. for the east of scotland, the north—east of england, it stays
6:16 am
grey and cloudy. and quite cool. the south—westerly winds are pushing in some dry airfora south—westerly winds are pushing in some dry airfor a time to south—westerly winds are pushing in some dry air for a time to northern ireland, north—western parts of england and wales. some heavy and thundery downpours likely in the afternoon across the highlands of scotland. 17— 19. not bad. you should have some fairly decent weather for the should have some fairly decent weatherfor the premier should have some fairly decent weather for the premier league matches into this afternoon, as you can see. the drier weather continues through the second part of the weekend as well. a brief spell of rain running eastwards overnight. no more than 5— ten millimetres. the concerns of gardeners at the moment. but we should have a little watering. tomorrow we have more straightforward showers. it takes a while for the rain to clear away. there will be sharp showers around, as you can see, through the midlands, southern areas and into the north—west, but at 15— 20 it isn't bad. starting to see them a
6:17 am
sunshine. not as straightforward today and indeed for the weekend. but at least there is this beautiful weather on offer. thanks very much. we'll be back with a summary of the news at 6:30am. now it's time for the film review, with jane hill and mark kermode. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. mark kermode is with us as ever to take us through the releases. we have a political thriller starring jessica chastain, miss sloane. alien: covenant, the latest in the ongoing alien franchise. and jawbone, written and starring —— written by and starring
6:18 am
john harris. even looking at the post of miss sloane, i so want to write this. it is washington, the west wing, you are in with the intrigue. the story is, jessica chastain is a lobbyist who gets embroiled in a battle between people who want controls on gun sales and those who want to sell more. early on she is enlisted by people who say they are trying to make guns become more popular, we want them to appeal to women. she literally last amount the room. the next thing is approached by the other side fighting for the restrictions. she decides she will throw in her lot with them. they want to because of her powerful and sometimes cynical way of lobbying. here is a clip. what's the best indicator of voter in tension? grassroots action aimed squarely at soliciting donations. not named in a petition, not clicks in cyberspace. will they know how
6:19 am
much we are raising? every congressional staff will be. while you are hustling overwork influential senators who can deliver both. that's the second thing. the third is to identify who holds sway in target states. employers, workers groups. don'tjust in target states. employers, workers groups. don't just waltzing to senator's office and make your case, i doubt who they trust and convinced that person to make your case. that is how we win. does she take no prisoners, i'm guessing? that's right. i take no prisoners performance and very strong supporting cast, including gugu mbatha—raw. i like the subject matter, the cast, the director. i came out thinking, it's not as good as it should be. the whole is less than the sum of its parts. there is something that keeps you at a distance. i was never completely engrossed and i never completely
6:20 am
believed in the characters. the plot is full of twists and turns and there is a certain point after which those twists and turns of start to sort of defied credibility. that said, jessica chastain is always worth watching and the subject matter is interesting and timely and it ought to be more gripping than it is. like you, i really wanted it to be great and i came out thinking, it's kind of ok, what i wanted it to be more than that. however, it makes sense, which is more than can be said for alien: covenant, which is the next instalment in the ongoing saga. are you a fan of alien? my goodness, no. iam chicken, there's no way. the first alien was a horror film, the second was a war film, then the third, now we are into the prequels. promethius really
6:21 am
suffered. they had people in space talking about overtime, work conditions, griping about stuff you could believe in. they started talking about the nature of mankind, odd, existence. this is very much a promethius sequel rather than an alien prequel. they get a signal in space, they arrive at a new planet. it actually turned out to be some kind of living hell. what they do all the time is to talk about poetry, art, life, god, in a matter that nobody ever talks in space. we have greatest reruns from alien and aliens, but sped up in a way that they make no sense. ridley scott is a visual stylist, no question, but he is only ever as good as his script. the fact is, with alien: cove na nt script. the fact is, with alien: covenant script is very weak. when they were going to do... this is the
6:22 am
da vinci code in space. as someone who loved alien because it was ruthless, and loved aliens because it's a war movie, it is very much like a massive amount of pontificating and holding forth and also it makes no sense what the weather! i know people don't necessarily go to alien movies to tie up all loose ends but there were moments in it... there was one where the characters as so little that make sense that i laughed out loud. —— character said so little.|j make sense that i laughed out loud. -- character said so little. i am a little more hopeful about your third choice this week. jawbone, written and starring john harrison. —— written by. i do nothing about boxing. a washed—up boxers struggling with alcoholism we meet him at the beginning of the film and
6:23 am
he is drunk. he lives in a flat which used to be his mother is flat, he is in danger of being as it had. life is in a mess. he turns up at his oldjim run by ray life is in a mess. he turns up at his old jim run by ray winstone. life is in a mess. he turns up at his oldjim run by ray winstone. he gives you a look at else in everything you need to know. he says he can train there but no alcohol and no talk of unlicensed matches. but he needs money and the next thing is having a meeting with ian mcshane. here is a clip.|j thing is having a meeting with ian mcshane. here is a clip. i think! can get your money. i tell him, i've got the next champion with me who is looking for a fight. jimmy, you were one of the bravest kids i ever saw. the thing i don't with what kind of nick you are in now. so if you take this, it's on your back. whatever happens from there, you are on your own. i know. you're up for it? i'm
6:24 am
up own. i know. you're up for it? i'm up for it. right, make the phone call. now, i thought up for it. right, make the phone call. now, ithought this up for it. right, make the phone call. now, i thought this was really intriguing. i went in not knowing much about it, other than it was a boxing movie and i liked the members of the cast. it really drew you into the story. you believed in the character and his dejection and his addiction and his alcoholism and his struggle to come to terms with himself. that first moment when he goes into the gym and ray winstone looks at him in a way that tells you everything, there's a wonderful film with michael smiley, a terrific actor, it's to do with what they don't say, not what they do say. cinematography has changed a lot since martin scorsese did not raging bull. this puts you in the receiving end of the punters. i've never been toa end of the punters. i've never been to a boxing gym, but this had the smack of authenticity and it had heart. it felt like it was a story told by somebody who really believed
6:25 am
in all of this and it engages you. it makes you care. it's not fa ntastically it makes you care. it's not fantastically original, but it is donein fantastically original, but it is done ina fantastically original, but it is done in a way that seems very honest and authentic and very moving. as somebody who is not a boxing fan, i know nothing about boxing, i found it very gripping. and some great british talent in there. ray winstone, as far as i'm concerned, walks on water anyway, but this is an understated role and he plays the beautifully. and michael smiley was a terrific actor, a terrific screen presence. there are couple of moments between him and johnny harris, everything you said in the eyes and the gestures, in the way they hold their heads and next. —— necks. it was a pleasure to see it because it was textured. box it does turn up in movies a lot because it's a spectacular sport in a way. but this really had something. in the end it's not a boxing movie. in the end it's not a boxing movie. in the
6:26 am
end it's not a boxing movie. in the end it's about somebody overcoming their demons and wrestling with their demons and wrestling with their own demons and overcoming addiction and dealing with alcoholism in a way which seemed honest and truthful and very engaging. best out? bless you, you have brought me a woody allen! i love woody allen. i love the jazz, new york, the anchor, the new process. and the way manhattan looks means it is one of the woody allen films that you should see on a cinema screen. often many think of woody allen you think of the jokes, the characters. but this is brilliant. the combination of the visuals, from the beginning he is a writer and he describes the way he feels about the city. people talk about the classy woody allen, any hall, manhattan —— annie hall, manhattan, i haven't seen manhattan projected since it first came out, 79, 1980, something like that. to
6:27 am
see it projected again, because it's a beautiful film. that's wonderful. ididn't a beautiful film. that's wonderful. i didn't know it was being reissued. talking of seeing things on a big screen, imejust talking of seeing things on a big screen, ime just in this week's dvd because it is la la land, which i did enjoy hugely. but doesn't that need to be seen on a big—screen? the wonderful opening the danzig on a californian sunshine? —— dancing. i've seen it on both and i have to say it worked both times for me. in fa ct, say it worked both times for me. in fact, oddly, when i saw it on the small screen i was in comfortable conditions, because there weren't people talking around me. i really like la la land. the opening sequence is so beautiful. glorious! i think emma stone's performance is terrific. some people have complained and said in flight, is not a memorable film in thatjune. i thought, what are you talking about! it made me happy. i loved the ending andi it made me happy. i loved the ending and i won't spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen it. but i thought it was
6:28 am
spot on. i will say no more because that would be a spoiler. it would really. incidentally, is a musical in the same way manhattan is kind of a musical as well. not really, but thought. it is glorious. the music is driving the story. thank you very much. that is the dvd viewing for the week. a reminder, you can find much more film news and reviews across the bbc online. and you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week. enjoy your cinema going. goodbye. this is breakfast. coming up before 7am, all of the weather forecast. first, a summary of the main use.
6:29 am
routine appointments and operations at some hospitals remain cancelled this morning after nhs organisations across england and scotland were disrupted by a global cyber attack. the first indication that something was wrong was mid—afternoon yesterday when some hospital trusts and gp surgeries reported being locked out of their computers. dave lee is our north american technology correspondent. good morning, dave. we arejust getting a grasp of the scale of the problems here in the uk. we know that it has happened elsewhere. what light can you shed on what is going on? i can confirm, as you mentioned, that it on? i can confirm, as you mentioned, thatitis on? i can confirm, as you mentioned, that it is an international cyber attack. almost 100 countries have registered this problem. some of the worst hit have been a russia. many of their government systems were hit by this. we have seen it had places in china. in the united states, fedex has been turning customers away throughout today. it is still friday here. that has obviously been
6:30 am
a big problem. although in the us, their healthcare system has not suffered the same kind of problems that the nhs has back home. but they are still taking it very seriously, keeping an eye out and trying to minimise the huge amount of damage this attack has caused. experts are now trying to unravel some of the problems. this has happened once or twice before. what pattern has been set? how has this worked out in the past? it is quite a troubling pattern. we have had a case recently here in los angeles where a hospital was affected by ransomware. you get this malicious software that encrypts your files and demands a fee to decrypt them. that happened toa fee to decrypt them. that happened to a hospital and ended up paying $17,000 to have those files returns to them. i guess what many of these organisations affected might be thinking over the weekend is, do we
6:31 am
pay the ransom and get our files? thinking over the weekend is, do we pay the ransom and get ourfiles? or would that encourage more of these things to happen in the future? it isa things to happen in the future? it is a tricky balance. but potentially, some of these organisations may end up paying quite a lot of money to get access back to the files they need. dave, thank you. that was dave lee, our north american technology correspondent, speaking from san francisco. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, has warned of the conservatives winning a "margaret thatcher—style landslide" if they maintain their current lead in the opinion polls. mr watson told the guardian that it would be "very, very difficult" to turn the poll numbers around, and labour had a "mountain to climb." mrs thatcher won majorities of 144 in 1983 and 101 in 1987. the conservatives want to give people the power to demand that social media companies delete any embarrassing content they posted online before the age of 18. labour has questioned whether the legislation would be enforceable, given that most of the largest companies are based abroad. ofsted inspectors have revealed they were jostled and pelted with food by pupils during a two day visit to a secondary school
6:32 am
in the west midlands. the five—strong team rated the willenhall academy, near walsall as ‘inadequate' for leadership, learning, and overall effectiveness. the ofsted report also found that year 11 students failed to reach their potential over a three year period. pope francis will canonise two portuguese children at a mass today on the spot where they reported seeing the virgin mary exactly 100 years ago. tens of thousands of pilgrims gathered in fatima to welcome the pontiff last night and today's mass is expected to attract a million worshippers. francis is the fourth pope to visit the shrine. mike, this morning, we can say that we know who won something. finally! yes, chelsea. ithink we know who won something. finally! yes, chelsea. i think we saw it coming. they are the premier league champions. what an achievement by
6:33 am
antonio conte, when one year ago chelsea finished 10th. they were in disarray. and last year we had all that fuss about the two the managers arriving at city and united. but mariano kunte — — arriving at city and united. but mariano kunte —— antonio conte kept it quite quiet. so chelsea have done it — a 1—0 win at west brom made them premier league champions with two games to spare. our sports editor dan roan looks back now, at antonio conte's, remarkable achievement. glory was within their grasp. chelsea strolled to the title almost complete. west brom have also enjoyed their season, however, and victory here at the hawthorn ‘s would have to be earned. the visitors enjoying more chances, but failing to break down a stubborn defence in a cagey first half. added urgency after the restart, victor moses denied by ben foster. chelsea's frustration beginning to show. then, in the final ten minutes and with the game seemingly headed for a draw, the pressure finally showed. michy batshuayi with the
6:34 am
crucial touch. these substitute barely played this season. now he scored the goal that would seal the title. we started the season with a lot of bombs. —— problems. but i think in the problems, we found the right way to be stronger together. yeah, to fight in every game. and now i think that they deserved to win the league. from the moment he arrived in england last year, the italian has been a passionate and animated presence on the line. but his team's march towards the title has been calm and assured. when chelsea play watford here at sta mford chelsea play watford here at stamford ridge on monday evening they and their fans will be able to celebrate a second premier league triumph in just three seasons, re—establishing this club is the dominant force in the english game. when you consider what went on here last season, it is an achievement
6:35 am
that should not be underestimated. jose mourinho was sacked after a chaotic defence of the title, the clu b chaotic defence of the title, the club finishing 10th and failing to qualify for europe. chelsea hired co nte qualify for europe. chelsea hired conte but had to wait until the end of the euro is before the italy manager was free to join them. there we re manager was free to join them. there were one or two big signings, fielder n'golo kante signed midyear, but the new coach has largely transformed an underperforming squad. i thought we deserved it. we worked very hard and i think we have been a very good team. there could yet be more success. conte has also guided chelsea to the fa cup final. other managers may have grabbed more headlines and created more controversy, but the italian has eclipsed them all. great scenes the chelsea fans. there was one other game last night — everton beat watford, 1—0, thanks to ross barkley‘s goal. celtic are two matches away from completing an unbeaten season in the scottish premiership, after winning 3—1 at aberdeen. all the goals came in a frantic first 12 minutes. lee griffiths with celtic‘s third —
6:36 am
and that took their league tally to 100 points. celtic will be going for the double in two weeks' time, when they take on aberdeen, again, in the scottish cup final. birmingham city ladies say they will not fear manchester city, in today's women's fa cup final at wembley. it's live on bbc 2 from 5pm. birmingham will have to overcome a side aiming to seal a domestic treble. it is exciting for us. this is the third year that the women's fa cup final has been at wembley. we want to put on a great performance. we are not just to put on a great performance. we are notjust going there to be another team that has been in the fa cup final. we want to do better, we wa nt to cup final. we want to do better, we want to win, we want to showcase what we are about. we are a football tea m what we are about. we are a football team and we show grit and determination. we can't wait to go and play at wembley. you always dream at playing at wembley, and you always dream of capping your side. ever since i have joined this club it is about try to
6:37 am
win the fa cup and we are one step closer to doing that. definitely up there with the stuff i have achieved so there with the stuff i have achieved so far. and while we're on the subject, voting for the annual, bbc women's footballer of the year award closes on monday morning at 9:00. five players from around the world are in contention. you can vote, at bbc.co.uk. jonny brownlee has suffered an issue in yokohama. he was caught up in a crash on the last lap of the bike leg. look at that, flying over the railings. but isn't giving up. you are allowed to carry on, carrying your damaged bike to the transition point, because it was the last lap. barefoot! well, he has been in the pedals, he has got to get his running shoes on. real drama, you can watch that live on the bbc sport website. highlights tomorrow at one o'clock on bbc two. amazing. at this
6:38 am
would have cost him some time. —— obviously would have. lewis hamilton said his mercedes team had done an amazing job with the upgrades to his car, after going quickest in both practice sessions ahead of the spanish grand prix. he just edged out his team—mate valterry bottas. they were comfortably clear of the two ferraris. third practice starts at 10:00 with qualifying at 1:00. gloucester lost to stade francais in rugby union's challenge cup final at a rainy murrayfield, going down by 25 points to 17. this interception from jonny may gave the english side a 10—0 lead. racing towards this trophy to a third time. but stade francais are fed up in runners—up. they scored three tries to finally lift this trophy. this is european cup rugby's second—tier competition, but try telling them that. look at them sold it in. today, it's the turn of saracens, who'll be hoping, to retain their european champions cup title when they take on french side, clermont auvergne.
6:39 am
saracens are also on track to successfully defend their domestic title too and they're on the verge of establishing themselves as one of the game's all time great club sides. we have learned through experience, we have learnt the hard way. we have gradually built up this european pedigree. i do not think it is something that happens overnight. it isa something that happens overnight. it is a gradual improvement and the understanding of how to finish games. we are nowhere near the finished article. there is a long way to go. we are obviously pleased to know that we have players who pride ourselves on being able to stay in that fight the whole game. in rugby league, salford red devils we re in rugby league, salford red devils were given a scare by hull kingston rovers, but they came from behind to make it to the quarter—finals of the challenge cup. they were losing at half—time but salford scored 18 u na nswered half—time but salford scored 18 unanswered points to win 24— 14. but try was from ben murdoch. but ensured salford advanced to the last eight, along with last night's other winners, wakefield, and the holders, whole. now, rugby league is one of
6:40 am
the most physical sports of all, but now there is a way of playing into your 70s. it is all down to your shorts. ahead of this week and posner challenge cup matches on the bbc i went to castleford to see why masters rugby league is breaking down all the age barriers. playing rugby league again at the age of 82.jimmy playing rugby league again at the age of 82. jimmy ayres is taking on players nearly 50 years younger, and it has been life changing. it is good fun. i get the ball, i get plenty of running. and i've got this great mates again. it is a great spirit, it is the comradeship after the game. absolutely fantastic. the best thing i've ever done. rugby league is one of the most brutal and physical contact sports of all. but in masters, there is a way of reducing impact on ageing limbs. and it is down to the shorts. well, masters begins at the age of 35, when you can wear the white shorts.
6:41 am
ican when you can wear the white shorts. i can only dream. it does mean full contact, doesn't it, chris? yes! over 40 and black shorts. i hope this will be slightly less contact. no, 0k. this will be slightly less contact. no, ok. luckily, i'm over50, so i get the red shorts. what does that mean? just contact. what a relief. then when you get to 60, look, you whether gold shorts, with the tags. so, chris... that's all there is to it? look at that! if you tackle a player in greens shorts you no doubt over 70, so you treat them with even more respect as you remove their tags. and finally... is that all right? sorry! jimmy was the only player over 80, able to wear the special blue shorts. admittedly, evenin special blue shorts. admittedly, even in the blue shorts, you do get some accidental contact. butjimmy got straight back onto his feet. and the older players in masters also getan the older players in masters also get an advantage when it comes to
6:42 am
tackling, as they only have to tag their opponents, rather than take them down. lots of people have never played rugby before when they come to masters. it is just the camaraderie that gets them. if you retire from sport 27, 28, 30, 35, you've got 50 years ahead of you. retire from sport 27, 28, 30, 35, you've got 50 years ahead of youm has the same thrills and spills as they professional game, with scrums and bursts of speed. since coming to the uk from new zealand, the sport has boomed, with 50 clubs and 1000 players now wearing the multicoloured shorts. i was so dizzy looking at the shorts, i forgot where the line was! whatever their physical condition they can come and play and have fun. that really impacts on the community clubs, the amateur clubs as we used call them, and the professional clubs as well, because people are getting more involved. it has kickstarted many sporting ambitions. eventually the deadlock was broken. nothing to do with me, but a turn of pace from a man in the 405. in masters, age5
6:43 am
that barrier. yeah, bbc one at 2:30 p.m., castleford ver5u5 saint5, which is where we film that, at castleford. jimmy wa5 where we film that, at castleford. jimmy was amazing. so he is 82? 82, playing rugby league. that he was the fellow we saw taking a tumble? he said he has got fat bones. he got straight back up. castleford ver5u5 saint5, bbc one, this afternoon at 2:30pm. it should be a great watch. we are going to talk about children's tv. a new tv show is coming on trying to invent the idea of saturday morning children was my televi5ion, which was such a big feature of the 705 and 805. televi5ion, which was such a big feature of the 70s and 80s. i'm not sure we should be talking about other saturday morning shows. but they've got exciting things coming up. we don't have a puppet. we need a gopher or something like that. feel free to introduce one. i'm sure i've got something in my cupboard. ye5, i've got something in my cupboard. yes, the bbc is coming up with plans for a return to live shows on
6:44 am
saturday mornings. notjust us! it will be broadcast on sea bbc from the autumn and has a working title of live and dangerous. —— cbbc. can it live up to those fantastic shows of the 705, 805, and even the 905? let's remind ourselves of them. i dare you to wear a pair of shorts on one of your programmes. and it is time for saturday superstore! by by the way, mike, where is nicky?” think she is in the coffee shop. good morning! good morning to you. good morning! good morning to you. good morning! good morning to you. good morning! that will do. it 5ound5 good morning! that will do. it sounds like a scottish meal, doesn't
6:45 am
it? a letter from shetland, sounds like a scottish meal, doesn't it? a letterfrom shetland, gaudy. i've got a little present. it i5 is fun. what was your favourite? the character who took dangerous to a new level. i love live and kicking. the thing is, probably help and safety kicks in now. some of the dangerous things... gopher5 bite, apparently! share your thoughts about children's tv.
6:46 am
we've already heard from anna, who 5ay5 we've already heard from anna, who says there was a mermaid doll that you could win and she always wanted that. she also recalls the imaginative packaging methods for sending in unusually 5haped cri5p5 on live and kicking. alice remembers having to stop her dad phoning swap shop because he wa nted dad phoning swap shop because he wanted to swap my mum for kate bush! tho5e stories have become legendary. he is probably never allowed to play her songs any more. i wonder if i can guess what your favourite saturday morning kid5 show was? i would like to guess! iam would like to guess! i am with charlie! that was nostalgic. and i still watch children's programme. that's very exciting news. the weather is exciting news. the weather is exciting for some. an inspiring shot
6:47 am
of the sunrise. a lovely shot from ram5gate in kent. in contrast, further north, really cloudy skies. this is the radar picture. there's all the cloud we have with us this morning. it doesn't look that inspiring but it is an improving picture. we have the low pressure and rain acro55 northern ireland and scotland, northern england north, it i5 scotland, northern england north, it is an improving picture. scattered showers in the southern half of the country, but fewer than recent days and more 5un5hine coming through. today we are getting rid of the muqqy today we are getting rid of the muggy airand making today we are getting rid of the muggy air and making it feel more fresh. south—westerly wind comes in later. all of the mist and murk that we have the north—east england, eastern scotland, will clear away. the rain is with us. in north—west scotland, they got the jack pot. they will probably see the highest
6:48 am
temperatures again today early on. a5 temperatures again today early on. as the day wears on the moisture heads northwards and we will have downpours. drive north—west england and north wale5, but we have more rain waiting in the wings later. the south—westerly i5 rain waiting in the wings later. the south—westerly is that in the blue cloud away from the east coast. 16— 19 isn't bad for this time of year. decent weather for the tigers facing. a small chance of showers. a smattering of rain for most of us in 5outhern andes in areas —— and eastern areas. we will have some rain. tomorrow it is hit and miss. sunny spell5 rain. tomorrow it is hit and miss. sunny spells and showers. strong 5un5hine coming through. the focus for the heavy showers will again be in the north—west of scotland. thanks very much. we're back with the headlines at 7am. now it's time for the latest technology news, with click. energy — as our demand for it grows,
6:49 am
the world is faced with a challenge. when we burn coal, the energy that has been stored inside for millions of years is released, to power our pir our cities and machines. but so, of course, is all the bad stuff that is polluting and changing the environment. countries have met and agreed to reduce carbon emissions and invest in clean energy solutions. we are harne55ing more solar and wind energy than ever, and last month the uk had its first day of electricity supply without burning any coal.
6:50 am
but green power is still a long way from taking over from fossil fuels. but what if there was a clean energy source that could release 10 million times more energy than fossil fuels, with an almost limitless supply which could keep the planet running for millions of years? well, turns out, there is, and the answer lies in the stars. in the heart of the sun, under intense pressure and heat, hydrogen atoms change from gas into superhot plasma, and, in this burning soup, they fu5e together forming helium, and releasing immense amounts of energy. this is nuclearfu5ion and this is what scientists have been trying for more than 60 years to recreate down here on earth. we have to do something similar to a star, which has gravity, and to do that we use
6:51 am
magnetic fields. and we're talking about magnetic fields that create more pressure than the water pressure at the bottom of the deepest ocean. so you've got this huge pressure trying to compress the plasma, and you've got to hold it in place for a very long time as well, to get more energy out than you put in. if you can keep the superhot plasma in place for long enough, the energy released can keep everything hot, without the need for external power. the fusion then becomes 5elf—5u5taining, that's when the magic happens. that's also the hard bit. we are making progress, though, we have already achieved fusion, and some of the best fu5ion happens in5ide machines called tokamaks. what is a tokamak? this is a tokamak.
6:52 am
now this one is just outside oxford, which turns out to be a bit of an epicentre for fusion technology. the world's largest tokamak is just 15 minutes up that way. there is a problem with these machines, and that is that you end up having to put much more energy into these things than you ever get out through fusion. which is obviously not ideal. but the company here is taking a different route. this is the lab of tokamak energy, which is developing relatively small tokamaks. smaller prototype5 can be tested and improved much quicker and more cheaply, as the science is understood and the designs refined. this approach means the team may be the first to work out how to produce a net gain of energy. go on then, fire it up. 0h! my word! that is a fusion reaction! in5ide here, we are generating plasma, which is a gas
6:53 am
with electricity flowing through it and we're going to fuse atoms together, join them together, to generate fu5ion energy. and this light show isn't even fusion. this isju5t a warm up which is hoped will happen in the next year. and then what we're going to do is heated up to over 10 million degrees, up towards 100 million degrees... what will that look like? we won't be able to keep our face this close because it would get damaged. we will have to be further away outside some sort of concrete barrier. but it will actually start to go transparent, as the plasma gets really hot, ten times the temperature of the 5un,100time5 the temperature of the sun. once they have achieved the temperatures, they need to keep the plasma in place long enough for it to become self—sustaining and this is what the team hopes will create magnetic fields strong enough to do that. instead of thick copper cables, a strip of super—thin superconductor
6:54 am
made of yttrium barium copper oxide. all this sounds hopeful, but the joke is that nuclear fusion has always been 30 years away. if successful, it will mean the end of our reliance on fossil fuels, but there's still a lot of science to do between now and then. it could be a fantastic source of energy, likely to be the most important source of energy in the 22nd century. the point is, we need it now, and so we want to make fa5ter progress towards fu5ion energy. it's one of the biggest fund—raising events of the year. nearly 40,000 people ran this year's london marathon and wealth funds are still being counted, organisers are hopeful they will smash last year's record of £59 million rai5ed. online fundraising platforms now play a big role
6:55 am
in attracting more donations, pushing the charities' causes across to users whilst also enabling them to give money with just one click. justgiving, one of the biggest players, rai5ed just under £350 million last year. this is a figure that charitie5 may not have been able to raise without these sites, but these donations are also big business. ju5tgiving takes up to 5% commi55ion, whilst others, like globalgiving, take up to 15%. they say the fees cover operational costs and innovations to ultimately raise more for charities. but for charities, this commission is money that's not going towards their cau5e5. so the majority of our funding comes from individualfundraisers. for example, one of our runner5 is currently on £1500, and the commission on that is going to be about £100. and on the ground, that translates into care for ten kids that
6:56 am
could have received a top to toe checkup, hiv testing and tb testing and be insured their health and well—being. it makes a huge difference. starfish is a small charity which helps vulnerable children in south africa, who are affected by hiv and poverty, and a lot of its money goes into running a mobile health clinic. in the uk, the charity big kid help5 vulnerable young people in south london to gain leadership skills. both organisations have been experimenting with kind link, a site which promises to give charitie5 although collected donations and will not make its money from commissions. i went to meet its founder, iskren kulev, who traded in corporate life and set up a home office, ju5t south of the thames. kindlink didn't start as a company, kindlink started as an idea to be a social enterprise/charity that helps charities. for him, it's all about transparency. he wanted to create a platform where charitie5 would post updates. the biggest problem
6:57 am
with the charities is how they communicate with their donors and do the donors trust where the money is going? about 70% of donors say they would donate more if they knew what was happening with their donation. they have also added a feature to show people how much money the charity has received and how much it has spent. how has your background in financial tech helped you to put this together and also maybe to work the system a bit, because it's all about making money, it'sjust making money now not for businesses but for good causes. exactly, yes. it's always a matter of negotiation, i would say. i would go fir5tly through volume is important, so how you present volumes to your provider5. when i know where they can make a compromise, i can try to come up with a deal which would work for both of us. see, this is a guy you want
6:58 am
on your side, because he knows how it all works behind—the—scenes. and so far it's proving successful, with more than 170 charitie5 signed up. how would you improve on what you are doing on the pitch? for big kid, it's able to spend more money on its programs, like this one, which train5 young people to be football coaches. it has helped me, definitely, especially with school and stuff like that. in school, i wasn't the good kid, if you understand. so how does kindlink cover its costs? well, instead of taking commission from donors, it plans to take the money from businesses. they've developed this platform for companies to build a profile for themselves, showcasing the good causes they support while building the brand name. and the companies will be charged a monthly fee. i think it's quite fitting that kindlink have set themselves up just across the river from canary wharf, where the financial industry makes its billions. and i think it takes a certain kind of person to give all that up and come over here and work for charities. that and a small canoe! hello, and welcome
6:59 am
to the week in tech. it was the week that microsoft released an urgent software update after discovering a flaw in the windows operating system. the bug could give hackers access, by simply sending an e—mail, which didn't even need to be opened. a 16—year—old's tweet about chicken nuggets became the most retweeted ever. a us plane returned to earth this week after two years in space. but its mission remains top secret. having landed at the kennedy space centre, all the pentagon declared about the air force's robotic mini space shuttle is that it was performing ri5k reduction, experimentation and concept of operations development. intriguing! and, finally, hollywood quality animation comes to the masses. ok, well, not quite. the smartsuit pro camera—free motion tracking system co5ts
7:00 am
a fraction of the pro kit, but at $2,500 it could prove game changing for independent movie—makers and game designers. that's it for the short version of click this week. the full version is up on iplayer for you to watch right now. next week's show is going to be rather epic too, so do find time for that. follow us on twitter and facebook throughout the week, if you would be so kind. thanks for watching and see you soon! hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and sally nugent.
