9:00 am
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. i'm at barts, the largest nhs trust in the country, running five hospitals in london and all of them cancelling routine outpatient appointments. organisations around the world have been affected by the malicious software known as "ransomware", with reports of infections in dozens of countries. good morning, it's saturday the 13th of may. also ahead. labour's deputy leader tom watson warns his party faces a "margaret thatcher style" landslide defeat, if it doesn't improve its ratings in the polls. in sport, chelsea the champions.
9:01 am
they can finally celebrate after a late winner at west brom secured the premier league title in antonio conte's first season in charge. and you just can't stop a brownlee. jonny refuses to give up in the world series triathlon — after a nasty crash, he picks up his bike and runs with it. 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. masterchef champion 2017... the winner of this year's masterchef competition was crowned last night, we'll be meeting them later. and helen has the weather. good morning, despite low pressure across the uk, there is a lot of dry weather. i will have more in about 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. the home secretary has said it is
9:02 am
not yet known who was behind the global cyber attacks that hit nhs computer systems. 45 health service organisations in england and scotla nd organisations in england and scotland were affected by malicious softwa re scotland were affected by malicious software that locks computers and demands a ransom payment to restore access. there's no evidence that patient data has been stolen. 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 information such as patient records and appointment schedules, were inaccessible. it meant operations were cancelled, patients were sent home and ambulances were diverted. we understand 45 trusts and some surgeries in england and scotland had been affected. the prime minister, theresa may, said the incident was not an attack on the nhs, it affected up to 100 countries.
9:03 am
work to restore nhs computer systems will continue earlier we spoke to the home secretary amber rudd. they are supposed to be backed up and the purpose of backing up is partly to defend against this particular type of incident. this ra nsomwa re particular type of incident. this ransomware is particular type of incident. this ra nsomwa re is not particular type of incident. this ransomware is not about stealing data, it is about getting money from people to access data. if the files are backed up that attack is worthless, because people can download the backed up information and work from that. i hope the a nswer and work from that. i hope the answer is yes, that is the instructions everybody has received in the past, that is good cyber defence. i expect and we will find out if there are any holes in that. the home secretary there talking to us in the last half hour. let's get up to date on the very latest. andy moore, who's outside st bartholemew‘s hospital in east london. what is the situation like for
9:04 am
patients? the situation in this large nhs trust is routine outpatient appointments have been cancelled today. the disruption here continues. other nhs trusts will probably have similar problems where they have been affected by this attack. it has to be said large parts of the nhs have not been hit, and northern ireland and wales have not been hit, even parts of england and scotland have not. the message from the nhs is generally the system is up and running and you should use it normally unless you have been told otherwise. the home secretary amber rudd said lessons would have to be learned. we will have to wait and see whether these hospitals have backed up data, or whether some of them might even have to pay that ransom. we heard from a hospital in the states that was hit by a similar ransom attack last year. in the end,
9:05 am
it paid something like £13,000, because it was the only way to get systems back—up and that took ten days before the it was back up and running fully. thanks. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, has urged voters to support their local labour mp to prevent the conservatives winning a "margaret thatcher—style landslide". speaking to the guardian, mr watson admitted that it would be very difficult to turn the poll numbers around, and that labour had a mountain to climb. our political correspondent leila nathoojoins us now from our london newsroom. take us through what tom watson, a significant figure in the labour party, has been saying. he is labour's deputy leader and has a morose assessment of labour's specs. this is a candid admission —— labour's prospects. labour trailing
9:06 am
by more than 20 points according to some polls, which we must take with a pinch of salt these days, but tom watson acknowledging labour has a tricky task ahead. he says if labour supporters do not back labour candidates, theresa may is on course to have a majority of conservative mps in the commons of over 100 which he says will allow her to push through policies without having any parliamentary opposition. he says their manifesto is full of exciting ideas. plenty will have heard them after the leak of the draft. he urges voters to get out there and vote. this is a morose assessment of labour's prospects but it could be seen as a rallying cry to get out there and vote, or it could be seen asa there and vote, or it could be seen as a resignation labour will not form the next government, and the best they can hope for is not to be
9:07 am
a diminished opposition. jeremy corbyn going into the election saying it is not a foregone conclusion and he is campaigning like he is going to be in power. thank you. drayton manor theme park will reopen today, four days after an 11—year—girl died after falling from a ride. evha jannath, from leicester, fell from a boat on the splash canyon ride. the park's owners say the ride will remain shut, along with ones that overlook it, as a mark respect to her family. 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. 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
9:08 am
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. europe's best wine waiters have been going head to head — in an unusual contest, to find the most accomplished sommelier. contestants at the european sommelier championship in vienna had to face challenges such as pouring 18 glasses of champagne with exactly the same amount in each, and impressing the judges with their knowledge of different fine wines. the eventual winner was from a country you wouldn't necessarily associate with wine — latvia. there is a competition for everything. congratulations. a good thing to be good at. the sport and weather coming up later. let's go back to
9:09 am
the main story. the hacking of nhs systems. medical services have been disrupted in some parts of the uk after yesterday's cyber attack on the nhs. we heard from amber rudd the home secretary saying 45 nhs trusts have been affected, saying no information at this stage about who is responsible. joining us is cyber security analyst emily orton. dr aisha awan, whose gp surgery was advised to shut its system down and work from paper. and a&e doctor dr tarek seda. let's get first—hand experience of yours. you work in an a&e department. when was the first time you were aware something was happening? around 2pm, we got a message that we have to close the computer system down completely. that was upsetting. why is that?
9:10 am
they told us it was because of the cyber attack. we were not sure of the extent, how big the scale was and thought maybe it was our department. we close the computers down and had a briefing for a few minutes that we have to wait until we get further instructions and later we discovered it was nationwide. we had to go back to a paper—based system. we were worried, to be honest, i thought they were going to close the a&e and send us home, but i was surprised they manage to overcome the situation. home, but i was surprised they manage to overcome the situationm practical terms, what do you rely on, working in a&e, what do you need computers for? from when the patient comes in till when they go home. when they are being admitted. for example, i saw a patient yesterday and they had a severe stomach pain
9:11 am
for ten days and we needed to find out why he was in pain and could not find out because we could not get the blood results. we manage to get x—rays. i had to go physically to the x—ray department and cb x—rays while they were scanned and if i missed this term, that is it. you area gp. missed this term, that is it. you are a gp. how did it affect you? there have been practices who are not affected and their systems have slowed down. we are told to get paper details about appointments we had and then close the system down. you do not want this worm to go and affect other systems. we have it much easier than the secondary care colleagues and a&e doctors may not have met the patient before. we often have someone at the practice who know the patient and we can deal with it. i emphasise to any patients who are worried, in particular those
9:12 am
with complex issues, you will be seen. if you are worried or there is a serious problem, you will be seen. general practices will be open to deal with your concerns. that is important. if you are worried, still go to yourgp. important. if you are worried, still go to your gp. we are on extra duty for the weekend, i am not working but i am available in case they need an extra hand. emily, cyber security expert. we know from talking to our correspondent in america, this has happened before and affected a hospital there that paid a ransom, faced with the prospect of data being deleted, they paid a ransom. if you do not pay the ransom, can you cure it? can you make your way through it? it is difficult, you are right. we have had many cases where organisations have paid the ransom.
9:13 am
why? if they cannot back up the files and it is a question of risk, what is the risk of me not being able to access the files for the next week, against the risk of trying to ride out the storm. ransomware is trying to ride out the storm. ra nsomwa re is not trying to ride out the storm. ransomware is not new. we have had it over ten years now. these are escalating attacks that have reached a scale that is difficult to come back from. how difficult is it? we heard from microsoft saying some customers who are running older versions of windows xp will not have known they needed to update the system. some will have heard they needed to update it and maybe those updates of happened, but some people might not know they were vulnerable. it is difficult. people in the health care sector, security is not their mainjob, they are health care sector, security is not
9:14 am
their main job, they are delivering patient care, organising the hospitals. you cannot expect everybody to be a security expert. on that point, i will ask this question and appreciate if you say what i do is look after patients, i am not in charge of back—up of data, you must have asked this question yourself. do you know, is the material you work from, is it backed 7 material you work from, is it backed n material you work from, is it backed i material you work from, is it backed up? can i emphasise one thing. we are not security experts but i was ata are not security experts but i was at a three—day course just on tuesday this week, making it systems better. do you have any idea how ha rd better. do you have any idea how hard nhs it people were? this is not a problem with the it system but a problem with underfunding. allah home secretary was theresa may and she knew there were cyber issues. where isjeremy she knew there were cyber issues. where is jeremy hunt? she knew there were cyber issues. where isjeremy hunt? this is a major incident in the nhs and i have not heard a peep out of him in 24
9:15 am
hours. this is notjust it services, it is to do with underfunding and we cannotjust go, it is to do with underfunding and we cannot just go, what it is to do with underfunding and we cannotjust go, what is going on here? this is in no way a criticism of you, iam here? this is in no way a criticism of you, i am curious. we were talking to amber rudd and by way of reassurance, the best she could come up reassurance, the best she could come up with, they are supposed to be backed up. what do you know? what i know from my experience, every day the data is backed up, every 24 hours. there is a potential we could get back all the files but that will ta ke get back all the files but that will take time for the it people to look into. yesterday, they were fantastic how they were working. i was really amazed. if you were filming it, you would have seen it in action. within an hour, ourand would have seen it in action. within an hour, our and a would have seen it in action. within an hour, ourand a half, would have seen it in action. within an hour, our and a half, they manage to get a back—up system running which we used for patient data and
9:16 am
at the same time we used paper versions, putting it on the screen is literally. one other question. we have not had much time, but looking ahead. it is the weekend, people get ill. monday, people will go into hospital expecting operations. we will see them. it will take a little bit longer. be patient and please come to a&e if it is an accident or emergency. expect delays but if you are elderly, have complex medical problems, you will be seen. thank you both very much. we will keep you up—to—date over the next 45 minutes. helen has the weather. good morning. this is how the weather looks at the moment with the cloud and rainfall picture. there is a lot to take in but good spells of sunshine in the east and south west and north east of northern ireland. this is moving
9:17 am
northwards and tending to break up and become showery. there will be still a lot of dry weather, particularly away from the north and west of the uk. this scene in plymouth, in contrast, as well as the cloud and rain in the west, we have sea fog in north—east scotland and north east england, but today we are changing the wind direction, pulling in a south—westerly, which will blow the mist and away over the next 24 hours. very little change in eastern scotland. most of england and wales, when the weather system moves north, it isa when the weather system moves north, it is a case of dry, bright, sunny spells and just the odd shower. mostly light. not as heavy as recent
9:18 am
days. we should see a window of dry weather across southern island and furthered all. the rain reaches the north west of scotland, combined with the humidity there, it will break down into showers and there could be torrential downpours across the grampian region to the north—west highlands but in the sunshine, up to 19. it should be lovely weather for the women's fa cup final. i am hoping the showers will stay clear. there will be rain through the night. the next band of rain in the south—west by air and played today. there will be a dampening of the ground across eastern parts of the uk but it should clear. more straightforward, sunny spells and showery day tomorrow. not completely dry again. some areas will have showers, others will escape. the coast could do well
9:19 am
in the south and west but heavy showers across the north—west of the country. not bad on sunday. as we head into sunday night and monday, more rain. a southerly wind, heat building in the east and so debate as to how quickly the rain will reach the south east. the bulk of it north and west. it could get warm in southern and eastern areas early next week. he's the man who set himself the mission of running 44 marathons, in 44 countries, in 44 days, to raise awareness of mental health. with just two more runs to go, peter thompson from bournemouth is close to the finishing line. so before we talk to him, let's look at his journey so far. it all kicked off in st petersburg, russia, on april the 1st, where peter ran his first marathon. 18 races later he arrived in slovakia where he braved the snow to complete the bratislava marathon. but the weather was much nicer
9:20 am
on day 24, which saw peter running in sunny portugal. and he was still smiling when he arrived in france for marathon number 27. four days later, and peter was in italy, vatican city. and on day 33, he raced in the greek capital athens. his 35th marathon in switzerland, and now he's about to run his penultimate race in reykjavik. that's where he is this morning. peter, good morning. iwill say one thing, before i ask a question, i can see how much weight you have lost over the last few weeks. how are you feeling? yes, i am just feeling tired, excited. a mixture of loads of different feelings, to be
9:21 am
honest. are you mid marathon right now? are we holding you up? i got up at 5am. i have been out into iceland. i have run about 11 miles. some amazing scenery. after this i have 15 and a bit more miles to go and then fly off to dublin to get the 44th done. peter, what is your motivation? the motivation is trying to raise awareness and support for mental health charities, two charities, mind, and another which ru ns charities, mind, and another which runs a project. there is a massive focus on mental health act the london marathon with what the royal family did. that was incredible. it means a lot to me and my friends and
9:22 am
family. that is the reason, my motivation for running in the snow and rain, and yes, getting the suntan lotion out in athens. that is what keeps me going. you are midway through the barras in iceland. i bet you are looking forward to dublin? yes. i have tried not to think about it loads on the course of this journey because there have been so many ups and downs of things i cannot control. until my feet land in dublin, i tried not to get too carried away. it is exciting. it has been the best thing and hardest thing i have done and i want to try to get to the finishing line. peter, we are sending you loads and loads of luck. when you finish in dublin, go and have a pint of guinness and a giant pie. i think you have earned
9:23 am
it. amazing achievement. we will look at the papers now. paul horrocks is here. they click look through the front pages. one story today. the huge hack attack hitting hospitals. in the telegraph. same in the daily mail. and on the front page of the sun newspaper. and we heard from amber rudd this morning about the scale of the attack. and what will happen next. where will you start? away from the hacking, i've looked for different stories and one that took my eye, a familiar story of discipline in schools. this is a headteacher called louise mcgowan, who has been working for 25 years as
9:24 am
a teacher and is at a girls‘ school in chatham in kent and she is blaming parents for a crisis in discipline, saying there has been a huge increase in those who protest when their children are punished for bad behaviour at her school. i think she recently expelled five girls and she recently expelled five girls and she says when a child does something wrong, the first thing they do is text mum and dad to say, i am in trouble. then mum and dad get onto the school. this teacher has obviously cracked down on things like mobile phones and tablets in school, which a lot of parents have issues about. it seems from the story she has tried to maintain discipline standards and is undermined by parents. that is a big change from the generation ago. why is that? why parents are backing their children? i think it is part of the breakdown of discipline, not just... in society in general.
9:25 am
children now would use these devices they take to school to quickly get in first. if you tell mum and dad i have done this, i did not really do it, iam have done this, i did not really do it, i am being have done this, i did not really do it, iam being blamed for have done this, i did not really do it, i am being blamed for it. the teacher is saying she is not having it. and this is important to people in the avocado business! we have the shortage of lettuces, the courgette crisis, now the avocado disaster. shortage as prices increase. it looks like supplies are drying up because of a late harvest in mexico, flooding in peru, a drought in california. also, the chinese a p pa re ntly california. also, the chinese apparently love avocados and are buying up all the stop will stop it seems like everybody loves avocado. it is supposed to be a super food. and how to avoid avocado hand, a p pa re ntly and how to avoid avocado hand, apparently people chopping their fingers off when they are slicing avocados. four a week in hospital
9:26 am
a&e departments. it tells you helpfully in the guardian how to slice it. from the thin end to the fat end. to keep the prices down, if there is one that is misshapen, they are selling them more cheaply. instead of £1 five for a perfect one, you pay 39p. and you mash it up anyway. u nless pay 39p. and you mash it up anyway. unless you take a picture of it and post it on instagram, which is what people do with avocado on toes. this is from the orkneys. a woman who discovered her husband‘s missing wedding ring in a million to one chance, in the daily telegraph. he lost it on the beach and two months later... he did not declare it. paul hickson, living in the orkneys. it took him two months to confess he had lost the wedding ring stop my goodness. his wife was walking the
9:27 am
dogs and saw something sparkling on the beach. i think it is called shingle beach, and there was the missing wedding ring. what are the chances? tonight, he and she will do the lottery. destined to come back to them, clearly. and he is out of trouble, which is good. lovely to see you. this is breakfast. we‘re on bbc one until ten o‘clock this morning, when angela hartnett takes over in the saturday kitchen. good morning. our special guest is rebecca adlington. what do you love eating? my heaven is sticky toffee pudding. amazing. what about your food hell? game, venison, wings like that. well, i'm afraid i might have twists on that you. i have tom aikins and stephen terry today. we we re aikins and stephen terry today. we were talking about avocados.
9:28 am
deep—fried avocado with crispy chicken and chorizo. roe scallops -- raced scallops. and you cook recipes at home. and match the wines. it is at home. and match the wines. it is a hard life. wait till you see the ingredients tom howes. we look forward to seeing you at 10am today. brilliant, we will see you then. we are staying on the cooking theme. do we need to warn people? do you think everybody knows? masterchef champion 2017... that is where we will stop. we have the winner coming in. we are being careful, in case you have not seen it. you are warned that whatever happens, we cannot hide it once the weather is with us. masterchef
9:29 am
winner will be here a little bit later. do stay with us, you have been warned. the headlines are coming up. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and sally nugent. coming up helen will have the weather. but first a summary of this morning‘s main news. the home secretary, amber rudd, has said it‘s not yet known who was behind yesterday‘s global cyber attack which hit nhs computer systems. about 45 health service organisations in england and scotland were affected by malicious software which locks computers and demands a ransom payment to restore access. there‘s no evidence that patient data has been stolen. earlier the home secretary told us she hoped nhs trusts had backed up their data. they are supposed to be backed up. they are supposed to be backed up. the purpose of backing up is of course partly to defend against this kind of incident. this ransomware is not about stealing data but about getting money off people to access data. if those files are backed up
9:30 am
that attack is absolutely worthless because people can just download the back up information and work from that. so i hope the answer is yes, those are the instructions everyone has received in the past, that is good cyber defence. but i expect and we will find out if there are any holes in that. 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. drayton manor theme park will reopen today, four days
9:31 am
after an 11—year—girl died after falling from a ride. evha jannath, from leicester, fell from a boat on the splash canyon ride. the park‘s owners say the ride will remain shut, along with ones that overlook it, as a mark of respect to her family. 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. a selection of padlocks — or so called love—locks that are famously attached to a bridge in paris are being put up for sale at auction today. the padlocks, engraved
9:32 am
with couples‘ initials, were attached in an act of romance, before the keys were thrown into the river. but they had to be removed two years ago after a part of the bridge collapsed under their weight. today clusters of the locks will be sold as pieces of street art, with the proceeds going to charity. i suppose that works. although me feels that is insensitive. it is a special thing, but it is being sold. yes, but it is going to charity, and i think they are beautiful. chelsea fans, take the lead, maybe put them on fans, take the lead, maybe put them o n sta mfo rd fans, take the lead, maybe put them on stamford bridge. they love antonio conte. these are the pictures of him celebrating. who is the guy peeping at the back? yes, they should have the small ones at they should have the small ones at the front, really. antonio conte really is the special one. because
9:33 am
of where chelsea were a year ago, they were in tenth place. it is his attention to detail. making certain everyone is feeling loved at the club, everyone got a bottle of prosecco, with a little message, which says, we will find a way or we will make one. it was a written statement. making sure eve ryo ne written statement. making sure everyone feels loved, the attention to detail has made him stand out. so chelsea have done it — a 1—0 win at west brom gave them the premier league title with two games to spare. they had to wait until the last 10 minutes of the match, though — substitute michy batshuayi the unlikely hero, after a season of struggle for him. manager antonio conte can now set his sights on the double — chelsea have an fa cup final against arsenal to look forward to. we‘re joined now by ex—chelsea player pat nevin. you have met the man. what was your
9:34 am
first impression? what you see is what you get, he‘s very passionate. you spoke about attention to detail and professionalism, but there is also honesty about him. he has got the chelsea fans behind him. if you listen, they are singing antonio, antonio, all night long. he went there and he got them going. it is easy to do that, but people see through it if that is just a fake, but there is nothing fake, he is the real dale steve —— the real deal. he has been against top players, jose mourinho, pep guardiola. —— top managers. the players have really done it for him. they adore him and they have massive respect for him and also affection. even the players
9:35 am
who are not playing every week, like fabregas, they have been brilliant and professional. it was a big job which had to be done, after tenth place last year, but boy, he has done it very well. when he started to change things, like the pre—match meals last season, did you sense that he have might what it takes to restore chelsea as champions? i'm not sure it was the diet that changed my mind about him, but in preseason he had a system he wanted to play. everyone talks about the system and we sometimes over intellectualise it, but he had the system. and it wasn‘t working. when he saw it wasn‘t working, he changed it. it was well used last night. to get that important goal. if that
9:36 am
adaptability and willingness to change his mind through games and through the season, that has made him special, he has been tactically brilliant and that is saying a lot considering the other managers that are around at the moment. as a former player. players can be quite sensitive, so how much difference does it make to feel loved and to really love the manager? you have to balance it really well. arsene wenger, or even a sir alex ferguson, there is love and fear, but the fear is way up there. antonio conte is well—balanced. the players want to respect him and they feel as if they can be his friend to some degree. but they know where to draw the line. i was watching training a while back and diego costa rang with a big bucket of water behind the manager as if to throw it over his head, and in the last minute he
9:37 am
stopped and walked away and he knew where the line was. that is a lesson, everyone knew, he is a very likeable man, but he‘s in charge. that is wonderful. we could talk all day about the great man, antonio co nte. day about the great man, antonio conte. that is pat nevin, talking about the achievements of chelsea. they can do the double in a couple of weeks‘ time, if they can win the fa cup. this there was one other game last night — everton beat watford, 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 — leigh griffiths with celtic‘s third — and that took their league tally to 100 points. celtic will be going for the league and cup double — and a domestic treble — in two weeks‘ time, when they take on aberdeen, again, in the scottish cup final. and dundee united will face falkirk
9:38 am
in the scottish premiership promotion play—off semi—final after beating greenock morton 3—0 last night, 5—1 overall. 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‘s 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‘re notjust going there to be another team that has been in the fa cup final. we want to do better, we want to win, we want to showcase what we‘re about. we‘re a footballing team and we show grit and determination. we can‘t wait to go and play at wembley. you always dream of playing at wembley, and you always dream of capping your side. ever since i have joined this club it's about trying to win the fa cup and we're one step closer to doing that. definitely up there with the stuff i have achieved so far. jonny brownlee‘s return to the world triathlon series
9:39 am
was almost as dramatic as his collapse at the end of last season. in treacherous conditions in yokohama, he was caught up in a crash, on the last lap of the bike leg and was sent flying over the railings — but he refused to give up, carrying his damaged bike, to the transition point, to get his running shoes on before eventually finishing down in 42nd place — but what determination. you can see highlights tomorrow at one o‘clock on bbc two. they have got guts. amazing. it looked nasty. gloucester lost to stade francais in rugby union‘s challenge cup final, at a rainy murrayfield, going down, 25—17. an interception from gloucester and england man, johnny may, gave the english side, a 10—0 lead and they were racing towards this trophy for a third time. but stade are fed up being runners up — as in four previous finals — and they scored 3 tries to finally win the cup.

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. in rugby league, salford red devils were given a scare by hull kingston rovers, but they came from behind, to make it into the quarter—finals, of the challenge cup. they were losing at half time, but salford scored 18 unanswered points to win 24—14. this try from ben murdoch masila, ensured salford advance to the last eight along with last night‘s other winners wakefield and holders hull. rugby league is one of the most physical sports of all, but now there‘s a way of playing into your 70s or even 80s and it‘s all down to your shorts. ahead of the weekend‘s challenge cup matches on the bbc, i‘ve been to castleford to see why masters rugby league is breaking down all age barriers. playing rugby league again at the age of 82. jimmy airnes is taking on players nearly 50 years younger, and it‘s been life changing. it's
9:41 am
it‘s like rolling back the years. it is good fun. i get the ball, i get plenty of running. and i‘ve got these great mates again. it's a great spirit, it's 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‘s a way of reducing impact on ageing limbs. and it‘s down to the shorts. well, masters begins at the age of 35, 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. luckily, i‘m over 50, so i get the red shorts. what does that mean? just contact. what a relief. then when you get to 60, look, you wear the gold shorts, with the tags. so, chris...
9:42 am
that‘s all there is to it? look at that! if you tackle a player in green shorts you know they‘re 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, 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 get an advantage when it comes to 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‘s just the camaraderie that gets them. if you retire from sport at 27, 28, 30, 35, you‘ve got 50 years ahead of you. it has the same thrills and spills as the professional game, with scrums and bursts of speed. since coming to the uk from new zealand, the sport has
9:43 am
boomed, with 50 clubs and 1,000 players now wearing the multicoloured shorts. i was so busy 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 to call them, and the professional clubs as well, because people are getting more involved. it has kick—started many sporting ambitions. eventually the deadlock was broken. nothing to do with me, but a turn of pace from a man in his 405. hence the black shorts. in masters, age is no barrier. that was dave woods. he will be commentating on the rugby league match later. if you are wearing blue shorts, you are not meant to get flattened. even with me in the red shorts, you can only be tackled
