this is bbc news. the headlines at 10. work to restore nhs computer systems will continue throughout the weekend, following the cyber attack. the home secretary says it's not known who is we're working very hard to make sure that the nhs put their systems back in order and, so far, we've had reassurance from them, no patient data has been compromised. thousands of organisations in about 100 countries are known to have been affected by the international attack. labour's deputy leader tom watson warns his party faces a "margaret thatcher style" landslide defeat, if it doesn't improve its ahead of the election. pope francis will canonise two portuguese children today at a mass in fatima, on the spot where they reported seeing the virgin mary a hundred years ago. also in the next hour. from horse heads to monkeys, it can only be eurovision. but will the uk be able to blame a brexit backlash this year? we'll look ahead to tonight's event. in sport, chelsea are triumphant and win the premier league title — in antonio conte‘s, first
10:01 am
season in charge. and a group of people living in mumbai tell bbc life stories about their hope and dreams. that's in india's millennials. in halfan in half an hour on bbc news. good morning and welcome to bbc news. 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. some doctors have been unable to access patient records, while a number of hospitals are asking patients not to attend unless it's urgent. 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
10:02 am
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. the home secretary, amber rudd, says that around 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, but part of a wider problem affecting up to 100 countries. work to restore nhs computer systems will continue throughout the weekend, as our correspondent richard slee reports. this was the message that popped up on countless computers across the nhs. it says the system is locked. and no files can be accessed until they ransom is paid. the cyber attack had an immediate effect on patient services. this man's heart operation in london was cancelled. i was all cannulaed up.
10:03 am
i've been shaved down the front because they were going to open me up. my arms have been shaved. i was ready to go, nil by mouth. as well as hospitals in england, about half of the health boards in scotland have been affected in some way. but there have been no cyber attacks on health services in wales or northern ireland. one theory is that the nhs may have been vulnerable because it was using old computer systems that did not have the latest updates. this kind of sustained, wide attack on an organisation does force it to look at its it update regime, making sure not only are its operating systems up to scratch, but its protective regimes are up to scratch. i think it is probably worth the nhs and national cyber security centre looking at that to make sure there were not any basic health measures that could have been put in place which would have stopped this before they look at the wider, longer term investment necessity for an organisation which is clearly so it dependent. the home secretary amber rudd is confident patient information has not been compromised and says that
10:04 am
not only will ransoms not be paid, but efforts are under way to find out who is responsible. we are talking to international partners, because this is an international attack. so we have good relationships with different countries who have been impacted and we are sharing information to find out how best to address it, how best to end it, but also, how to find out who has done it and how to make sure we have the right defences. it is notjust the nhs in the uk that has been a victim of this cyber attack. it is now thought that organisations in as many as 99 countries have been hit, including the usa, china and russia. ransomware is now a common form of cybercrime, which often arrives in a link attached to an e—mail. if clicked on, the malware downloads and quickly infects the computer. then a message comes up demanding a fee to unlock the data. microsoft had warned about a threat to its operating systems a couple
10:05 am
of months ago and this morning announced it has rolled out a new update for users of older operating systems, including windows xp. disruption in the nhs is expected to last for some days, but emergency admissions are not affected. with me is brian glick, editor in chief of computer weekly. thanks for being with us. we are told that patient information will not have been compromised. can you explain why that is? how the effect with computers can be disabled but somehow the information is saved? what the ransomware is doing is affecting pcs running microsoft windows and stopping people from accessing all the systems they would use in running a hospital. theoretically, likely to be, patient records are on a bigger computer
10:06 am
somewhere else and all people are doing is using the pc to access those records, so there is no evidence yet the ransomware has yet deleted data, nor that it is copying data from elsewhere, it is simply a question of putting a software wall up question of putting a software wall up that stops you getting beyond it. the issue might be if you have information stored locally, that is where there could be a vulnerability? that is right, if a senior doctor keeps important information locally on their pc or the chief executive of the trust keeps important financial information on there, potentially thatis information on there, potentially that is a risk, if it has not been backed up, in theory it should have been, and if it hasn't, and they have to white that pc and start again, potentially they could lose that data. people are getting exercised over the fact the nhs is using windows operating system that isa using windows operating system that is a few years out of date and not even supported if problems arise.
10:07 am
should we be that worried about it? from what you say that may have been theissue from what you say that may have been the issue on the terminals people use on their desks. it might not be theissue use on their desks. it might not be the issue with the computer that hosts the critical data. in theory, there should not be an issue with patient records. the fact the nhs is using this old version of windows, windows xp, is an issue because it is not supported by microsoft any more and where floors are found microsoft do not fix the many more, which makes it vulnerable. microsoft do not fix the many more, which makes it vulnerablem microsoft do not fix the many more, which makes it vulnerable. it is striking looking at the information. we had an article in the british medicaljournal morning, the day before, there would be in this doctor's view, an attack on the end of the year and flagging up the vulnerability. i saw information the us department of homeland security says a security patch was released two months ago and people do not
10:08 am
seem to have used it and in december it was reported almost all the nhs was using an obsolete version of windows. it is not that they woke up yesterday and thought, we did not realise. that information has been out there and people do not appear to have acted on it. it is a sad fa ct to have acted on it. it is a sad fact something like 95% of all cyber attacks happen around known flaws. what is needed is the discipline to make sure you are updating software when updates come out, so the fixes to these flaws are applied, such as this one. clearly, most of the organisations affected by this ra nsomwa re have not organisations affected by this ransomware have not done that. also, every expert will say, don't use old softwa re every expert will say, don't use old software no longer supported such as windows xp. ultimately, this could have been avoided. it is a management decision as to what you prioritise and whether you have the discipline to apply all of these
10:09 am
cyber security processes that you could have. we have a national cyber security centre and presumably they will read the riot act to the public sector is saying if you have not got your act together, you need to do it now. the centre, it will provide advice and tell people what to do but at the end of the day, the nhs isa but at the end of the day, the nhs is a federation of several hundred organisations who have their own budgets and it managers, their own it security people. all the centre can do is shout at them and say you have to do this. but it takes someone have to do this. but it takes someone to make a management decision to spend money on this. thank you. really helpful to get around some of these complicated issues. very grateful. thanks very much. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, has warned the conservatives could win 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" but they were determined to do it.
10:10 am
mrs thatcher won majorities of 144 in 1983 and 101 in 1987. meanwhile, 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. they're proposing legislation where firms would be fined if they refuse to comply. but labour has questioned whether the legislation would be enforceable, given that most of the largest companies are based abroad. with me now is our political correspondent leila nathoo. good morning. let's start with the conservative. it fits neatly with what we are talking about in terms of the cyber security question. not the first time the government, conservative party, has talked about changing the law. how effective can this be to legislate in the uk if these companies are international? that is a question i think has not been answered by the proposals
10:11 am
today. it is coincidental that the conservatives put this out, it was pa rt conservatives put this out, it was part of their campaign. it seems more pertinent today, given what has happened. this idea that social media users should be able to delete posts, embarrassing photos, that might come back to haunt them before they were 18, the conservatives think this is a popular policy and think this is a popular policy and think it is a vote winner because plenty of us have embarrassing things we might not want to see later in life. it does raise the question of how it will be forced and labourand question of how it will be forced and labour and the lib dems are saying it cannot be delivered, it is tough talk, but there is not much to it. there are more ideas bound up with these measures. things like making it easier to do business online and asking social media companies to do more to protect children from harmful content. the home secretary said they are working
10:12 am
with social media companies, but not too much detail so far. tom watson's interview, on one level a statement of the obvious, if the poll leaders maintained they will end up with a three figure majority, but the other interesting thought is that he is effectively saying to his party, we are staring into the abyss, in the middle of an election campaign, when politicians usually say they are going to win, everything is going to plan. he seems to be saying it is not going to plan. it is morose and plenty will think it is our —— and unhelpful intervention by the deputy leader. relationships betweenjeremy corbyn and tom watson have been fractious. it is not the dream team. it is not at a harmonious relationship. there could be positioning going on with this. it isa positioning going on with this. it is a start, a candid assessment of
10:13 am
what labour's prospects are. the polls have conservatives up to 20 points in the lead. we know the polls are not super reliable always. there certainly is a mountain to climb in the words of tom watson. and the implications of his remarks, there is nothing in what he finds on there is nothing in what he finds on the ground or in private polling that contradicts what the public view is, otherwise he presumably would not say it. he is talking about labour supporters getting behind their local candidates. no mention of getting behind jeremy corbyn, going for a future labour government. it is about putting your local mps back in parliament to be your champions. the implication that if they do not do that, theresa may will have a huge majority and will be able to push through any she wa nts be able to push through any she wants in government because there will be no parliamentary opposition. it isa will be no parliamentary opposition. it is a warning to say, if we do not get behind... perhaps an admission
10:14 am
labour can at best hope to be in opposition and actually better not bea diminished opposition and actually better not be a diminished one. it will not make him popular with his colleagues, as you say. 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. the headlines on bbc news: the nhs faces a weekend of disruption following a large—scale cyber attack which has caused hospitals to delay treatments and cancel appointments. organisations around the world have been affected by the malicious software known as "ransomware", with reports of infections in about one hundred countries. 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.
10:15 am
ido i do not know if he is celebrating after chelsea's success. good morning, bike. impartial as after chelsea's success. good morning, bike. impartialas ever. a long time before leeds united are champions! chelsea are the premier league champions — they won the title for the second time in three seasons with a 1—0 win over west brom — and with two games to spare. 0ur sports editor dan roan looks at manager antonio conte's remarkable achievement. glory was within their grasp. chelsea's stroll to the title almost complete. west brom have also enjoyed their season, however, and victory here at the hawthorns would have to be earned. the visitors enjoying more chances, but failing to break down a stubborn defence in a cagey first half. there was 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.
10:16 am
michy batshuayi with the crucial touch. the substitute barely played this season. now he scored the goal that would seal the title. we started the season with a lot of problems. but i think that 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 touch line. but his team's march towards the title has been calm and assured. when chelsea play watford here at stamford bridge 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 as the dominant force in the english game. when you consider what went on here last season, it's an achievement that should
10:17 am
not be underestimated. jose mourinho was sacked after a chaotic defence of the title, the club finishing 10th and failing to qualify for europe. chelsea hired conte but had to wait until the end of the euros before the italy manager was free to join them. there were one or two big signings, like midfielder n'golo kante, 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. there was one other game last night — ross barkley gave everton a 1—0 win over watford. celtic are two matches away, from completing an unbeaten season, from completing an unbeaten season in the scottish premiership, after winning 3—1 at aberdeen.
10:18 am
all the goals came in a frantic first 12 minutes — their league tally is 100 points. celtic will be going for a domestic treble in two weeks' time, when they take on aberdeen, again, in the scottish cup final. dundee united will place —— face falkirk. birmingham city lady say they will not fear manchester city in today's women's fa cup final at wembley, live on bbc two from 5pm. it is exciting for us. we are not just going there to beat another tea m just going there to beat another team in the fa cup final, we want to showcase what we are about as a team. we showed grit and determination. we cannot wait to play at wembley. you dream of playing at wembley and dream of
10:19 am
being captain of your side and since i have joined the club it is about winning the fa cup and we are one step closer. definitely up there with the stuff i have achieved so far. jonny brownlee made a dramatic return to the world triathlon series injapan, being caught up in a crash oi'i injapan, being caught up in a crash on the last lap of the bike leg and sent flying over the railings. he carried the damaged bicycle to the transition point and finished in a0 second place. you can see highlights tomorrow on bbc two. gloucester lost 25-17 to tomorrow on bbc two. gloucester lost 25—17 to stand francais in the rugby union challenge cup final. an interception from johnny may gave gloucester the lead. racing towards the trophy for a third time. stade fed up with being runners—up and they finally won this one. today
10:20 am
saracens will hope to retain their european champions cup title when they take on the french side clermont. in rugby league, salford red devils came from behind to beat hull kingston rovers. it was in the quarterfinals of the challenge cup. they won 2a—1a. final practice is under way for the spanish grand prix. live text commentary on the bbc sport website. i will have more shortly in the next hour. 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. the captain of the costa contoured
10:21 am
ear will begin his jail sentence. he will serve a 60 yearjail term after italy's highest court upheld the sentence. 32 people died when the vessel hit the rocks off an italian island five years ago. pope francis will canonise two portuguese children at a mass taking place now at a spot where they reported seeing the virgin mary exactly 100 years ago. and hese are live pictures now. the story, two young shepherds, brother and sister, aged seven and nine at the time, said they saw a vision of the virgin mary. a p pa re ntly vision of the virgin mary. apparently she came to them, appeared to them three times. 0ne apparently she came to them, appeared to them three times. one of her warnings was there would be a
10:22 am
second conflict. this was part way through the first world war. she purred three times between 1917 —— during 1917. sadly the children died $0011 during 1917. sadly the children died soon after because of the spanish influenza epidemic after the first world war. spectacular crowds. a huge event to have any pope visiting but to have him visiting for an occasion of this kind, very special. their cousin was also there but she lived on, surviving the flu epidemic and growing up in two adulthood and becoming a nun. she met, i think, john paul ii. they have been waiting for miracles to be declared. the church has declared two miracles
10:23 am
attributed to the pair and that allows them to be given this special declaration they are now saints of the catholic church. a beautiful day in fatima. a special shrine has been celebrated their many years for the first appearance claimed by the shepherd children of the virgin mary 100 years ago today. last night a junior doctor won masterchef. 29—year—old saliha mahmood—ahmed from watford became the 13th amateur cook to be named champion. before we meet her let's take a quick look at the highlights from last night's final episode. now only the three most talented remain. steve has not ceased to amaze me from the moment he walked in. through round after round after round. you can cook. what a time to

10:26 am
bad about what you have done. john and gregg wallace are supportive. they encourage you to improve yourself and learn and their critique is essential to us getting better as cooks. without them our development would not be possible. i think it is fantastic. they are how you see it on the screen. has this tempted you to think maybe whether you could consider a career as a chef? well, i am always going to be a doctor, but i think there is room to combine food in my life. your specialism is gastroenterology. to combine food in my life. your specialism is gastroenterologym many ways it is linked to food and i would love to develop recipes for people with coeliac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, as well as cooking and writing in my own style. a lot of things i would love to do.
10:27 am
is it frustrating when you talk to patients about diet and you think, why are they eating this? diet is a big topic. frustration, we want to —— frustration aside, we want to help patients. frustration is not a word that comes to mind. let me ask you about your menu. i have not eaten properly yet this morning. it started my stomach rumbling. what was the salad? it was and —— a traditional indian, pakistani salad. it is very traditional salad. i am partial to panic after. are you? we are all partial to a panic after —— panna are all partial to a panic after ——

10:30 am
why the monkey? why the ape? "the monkey," francesco gabbani tells me, "is a symbol that at the end of the day we are all naked apes." among the frontrunners 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 seemed to be in with a shot at the top spot. more recently, we have been propping up the table. but could this be the year that britain is back? at rehearsals, luciejones has been impressing everybody with her power ballad never give up on you. i am hoping that i will go home with the respect of the nation that
