welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name's tom donkin. our top stories: north korea launches what's thought to be another ballistic missile. after the cyber attack — comes the investigation. europol says friday's hack was on an unprecedented scale. the hunt is now on for those responsible. france prepares for its new president: emmanuel macron‘s inauguration approaches — but what happens next? and: pop shares the stage with politics — portugal wins the 2017 eurovision song contest. welcome to the programme. the new president of south korea, moon jae—in, has condemned
5:01 am
the latest missile test by north korea as a reckless provocation. the us military confirmed that a missile was launched near the north western city of kusong and landed in the sea ofjapan. mrtrump mr trump called for stronger sanctions and mr abe, the japanese prime minister, was quick to voice his condemnation. translation: once again north korea has launched a ballistic missile despite strong warnings from the international community. this is unacceptable. we strongly protest. these repeated north korean missile launches are a great threat to our nation and are a clear breach of the united nations security council resolution. our correspondent steve evans, who's in the south korean capital, gave me more details about the launch. we know it was not the dud the previous one was. it travelled a goodly distance — about 400 miles, 700 kilometres. the previous one went virtually no distance.
5:02 am
north korea is launching and testing missiles pretty well at the rate of one every two weeks throughout this year and about half of them fail. this one clearly did not. but it does seem that whatever threats or inducements come from seoul and washington, in particular, the missile programme proceeds unabated and that will clearly raise questions, particularly in seoul, where there is a new president not been in powerfor a week yet. but he came in promising or threatening, depending on your point of view, a more conciliatory line towards pyongyang. so we wait to see what president moon makes of all this and how tough his statement is and how much his action may be tougher than his pre—election promises indicated. all this happened not long after a north korean diplomat
5:03 am
and donald trump appeared to say they were open for diplomatic talks? yeah, i mean, iwould not make too much of that. if you ask anybody pretty well, are you prepared to talk about something? they will say, yeah, sure we will talk if the conditions are right. so the key phrase is "if the conditions are right". president trump said he would talk, he'd be honoured to talk to pyongyang, if the conditions were right. the north korean diplomat, a nuclear negotiator, she said north korea would be prepared to talk if the conditions are right. the conditions to be right would have to be something like for the us that the north korea nuclear arsenal was on the table to be negotiated away or certainly limited in some way and there is absolutely no suggestion, in public anyway, that that may be so.
5:04 am
there are what i call "track 2" talks going on at the moment, between pyongyang and former government officials of the us. the administration says nothing to do with us, unofficial, we're not talking to them but you do wonder whether feelers are being put out. security experts around the world are trying to get to grips with the cyber attack which hit computer systems in about 100 countries. euro—pol — the agency for law enforcement in the eu — called it unprecedented and warned that a complex investigation was required find the culprits. daniel sandford has the latest. the cyber attack which wreaked such chaos in britain's health service was a global assault, affecting russia worst of all but also countries as far apart as the us, australia, and japan. this evening, the two british agencies tackling it said a complex international investigation
5:05 am
would be needed to catch the culprits. we haven't identified the offenders at this moment in time, but we are deploying all covert and overt means available to us, and we have a number of lines of enquiry. it is important that we pursue those quickly so we can reassure the public we are taking this very seriously. at the heart of this global cyber attack was a software worm which spreads itself from computer to computer using code originally designed by us government spy agencies. it is called wannacrypt, and simply encrypts all the files on the infected computer and demands a ransom. by last night at least, 75,000 computers had been infected in at least 7a countries. at that point, a cyber security expert managed almost by chance to stop it spreading. but all the data on the affected computers is still unusable until a ransom is paid. any modern computer that had its software regularly updated was safe, but some nhs trusts use
5:06 am
old operating systems that were particularly vulnerable — others may have simply failed to take a security update in march. today, the national cyber security centre had this simple advice. the first is to make sure your security software patches are up to date. the second is to employ proper good anti—virus software. and the third — and most important for ransomware protection — is to back up your data, because you cannot be held to ransom if you have a back—up. it has been a reminder of how vulnerable vital organisations are to attack by organised criminals seeking to raise money or by hostile states and terrorist groups trying to cause maximum disruption. the reality is there are thousands of vulnerabilities. for example, if we were to look at a company of 50,000 computers, we might find hundreds of thousands of open vulnerabilities
5:07 am
on those machines. it is also reminder that computers are not a one—off investment. they need to be kept up—to—date. atrain a train derailed in northern greece killing four and injuring five. pictures from the down showed smashed carriages, including one which hit a house. the train came off the rails as it was travelling between athens and greece's second largest city. part of the express train ended up lodged in the ground floor of a house next to the tracks. the karines toppled —— carriages toppled into their side. five derailed in total. 12 fire trucks we re derailed in total. 12 fire trucks were involved in the rescue on the race, which continued through —— operation which continued through the night. the train was heading
5:08 am
from athens to the north, when it derailed, 23 miles from its destination. among the injured is the driver, who is in a critical condition, the rail company said. dramatic photographs show the scale of the damage. the carriages ripped through overhead cables and this is where the engine finished its journey. 0ne where the engine finished its journey. one man said he managed to jump journey. one man said he managed to jump offa journey. one man said he managed to jump off a balconyjust before the train hit the house. most of the 100 passengers were evacuated within 3 hours. it is still unclear what caused the train to come off the tracks. the funeral has taken place for the romanian tourist who was knocked into the river thames during a terror attack in london two months ago. andrea kristaya was pulled from the water with serious injuries and later died in hospital. nick thorpe reports from the funeral in constanta. this should have been her wedding.
5:09 am
instead, it was herfuneral. andreea cristea's friends and families gathered to remember a life cut short. she and her boyfriend were walking along a bridge in march when a car left the road and hit one pedestrian after another. andreea was knocked into the thames — she died two weeks later. my sister was the most amazing person i can imagine in this world and she was the happiest and she will always be with us and she is not gone. she is not, physically, she will always be with us and with her friends. this was a traditional sung 0rthodox ceremony attended by young and old in the town where andreea and herfiance grew up. british diplomats and police officers were also present.
5:10 am
mourners lit candles and priests burnt incense. across the street, a day of sadness for all in romania. one reason why this death has touched romanians so deeply is because almost everybody in this country has a personal connection to the united kingdom. up to half a million people work there and many more go there for holidays. it could have been almost anybody strolling that day across westminster bridge. from the church, the funeral cortege moved to the cemetery in an old turkish neighbourhood of the city. i'm here to be together with andreea's family and friends at this time of grief and to celebrate her life and to underline that the uk and romania stand together in the fight against terrorism.
5:11 am
nearly two months after the london attacks, the final victim has been to rest at last. emmanuel macron will be sworn in as the new president of france later. it follows his election victory last weekend, securing 65% of the vote against marine le pen. mr macron, who only formed his own political movement a year ago, takes overfrom francois hollande. hugh schofield reports from paris. a classic parisien newspaper kiosk and pictures of monsieur le kid — emmanuel macron, the man who later today will become france's next president. it is going to be at day of ceremony and tradition here at the elysee palace. we cannot get any closer than where we are now because of security. but we know that at ten o'clock in the morning, in front of the elysee, the motorcade of emmanuel macron will drive up and he'll be greeted in front by the outgoing president, francois hollande,
5:12 am
and then they will go in together for a tete—a—tete for half an hour. and that's where security matters, including, of course, the handing over of the famous nuclear codes will happen. and then francois hollande will leave and at that point emmanuel macron is the new president. there will be pageantry, with the induction of the new prsident, as all presidents are, as grand master of the order of legion of honour. there will be as speech and there'll be a procession down the champs—elysees, over there. that is where the work then begins. what everyone is going to be looking out for first of all is the nomination of mr macron's prime minister — who's it going to be? a man, or a woman, someone from the roght, someone from the left? no—one knows. that person's firstjob will be to lead the new government into the parliamentary elections which happen in june, hand for his program of reform. and the other thing, of course, monday, the first trip abroad to germany, to see angela merkel where, of course, the future
5:13 am
of the european union and brexit will be top of the agenda. stay with us on bbc world news. still to come: after 118 years — the final whistle for spurs' spiritual home. the pope was shot, the pope will live. that was the essence of the appalling news from rome this afternoon, that, as an italian television commentator put it, terrorism has come to the vatican. the man they called the butcher of lyon, klaus barbie, went on trial today in the french town where he was the gestapo chief in the second world war. winnie mandela never looked like a woman just sentenced to six years injail. the judge told mrs mandela there was no indication she felt even the slightest remorse. the chinese government has called for an all—out effort to help the victims of a powerful earthquake, the worst to hit the country for 30 years.

5:16 am
the drones inside the prison. this new technology is being offered as an upgrade and we do have to pay for it. we hope that other prisons will come and see it and both the prison and company will benefit from it. the anti— drone system will be activated by the end of the month. you can also be applied to other places such as airports. it's almost three years since violence erupted on the streets of ferguson, missouri after the shooting of michael brown. he was an unarmed black teenager killed by a white police officer. an iconic photo during that time showed a man throwing a smoking teargas canister back at police. edward crawford has since been found dead from a self—inflicted gunshot wound. howard johnson travelled to ferguson to speak to the photographer who took that famous image. so the picture happened pretty much

right in the bill of the street. tactical units were coming this way and people were coming out of the area. “— and people were coming out of the area. —— the middle of the street. it was properly be third or fourth canister. he sought to pick it up and it was sparking. so he reached down and as he reached down, he literally just kind of jump. down and as he reached down, he literallyjust kind ofjump. —— metricon. just to get out of the way, and then went back and pick it up way, and then went back and pick it up again andjust way, and then went back and pick it up again and just tossed it. so i went back to my car and came back into just checking on twitter and everybody was talking about his image. people started sending me

5:23 am
the first time. the bbc‘s biggest fan, steve rosenberg reports from the contest in kiev — and a warning, there are flashing images — of more than one kind — in his report. he couldn't believe it, but he had just one eurovision. his victory is portugal's first in the eurovision song contest after 49 accounts. as for the song, amor pelos dois, it sister wrote it. and it was very own eurovision. no gimmicks. just a melancholic melody and his charisma and charm. gehry came second. —— un—eurovision. portuguese fans had waited for this month is such a long time. they had grown so used to losing, that winning sparked plenty of emotion. amazing. amazing. it
5:24 am
will be amazing. it is a dream come true. flying the flag for the uk was luciejones. her true. flying the flag for the uk was lucie jones. her power true. flying the flag for the uk was luciejones. her power ballad, never give up on you, got our best result was six years. we were aiming for a particular place? no, iwasjust aiming for not last. so i did quite well. woo! of course, be eurovision, there was weird, there was wonderful, and what on earth was this? but perhaps it would be the music that we remember from eurovision 2017. it is the mischief. during the interval act, a man got
5:25 am
up during the interval act, a man got up on stage and bared his bottom live on television. an estimated 200 million people will have watched tonight's eurovision song contest. the show always live as high ratings. personally, iwish the show always live as high ratings. personally, i wish you could have delivered if you more points to the united kingdom. another memorable night. that is it from me in the team. goodbye for now. hello there. we could do with some rain for many of our gardens and we have got some of it. a weather front pushing its way west to east across the country. this is how we ended the day on saturday in angus. quite a bit of cloud around there. out of that cloud, we are seeing some outbreaks of rain but sunday should be a day of sunshine and a few scattered showers, too. here is the weather front that brought the rain to many of us overnight in the west, clearing to the east throughout the course of sunday morning. so a return to sunshine across many parts of the country.
5:26 am
that rain will linger in the north—east of scotland. this is 9:00 in the morning, particularly for the northern isles, north—east of mainland scotland, too. some sunshine towards dumfries and galloway, towards northern ireland, too. a bright start to sunday here. a bit cloudier down the east coast of england, and you could catch a showerfirst thing, but actually much of northern england and wales look dry with some sunshine. you can just see a few showers starting to crop up across central parts of wales. almost anywhere could catch a shower later in the day but i think predominantly it is a dry picture through sunday morning. slightly cloudier skies for kent, up towards norfolk, with that lingering weather front. but the front clears fairly quickly towards the east and then across all of the country, it's just sunshine and a few scattered showers here and there. so you could catch a shower almost anywhere but they are few and far between, particularly along the south coast, it's largely sunny here. and temperatures 15—20 degrees, a pleasant day where you do dodge the showers. staying pretty wet up towards the northern isles.
5:27 am
for some of sunday's featured premier league games, it looks largely dry but, again, there is a chance that one or two showers could sneak past at times. through the course of sunday evening, the showers ease away, so it's looking dry if you have a barbecue planned for sunday evening, for instance, and then overnight and into monday, the next batch of wet weather arrive from the west. it's going to be reasonably mild and frost—free, i think, wherever you are as we start the new working week. but for monday, this area of rain is with us for much of the day. heaviest towards the north and west where it will also be quite windy. the rain only quite light and patchy down towards the south—east where we really could do with some rainfall but the area of rain edging its way slowly northwards and eastwards through the day and we'll see temperatures still up there in the mid to high teens. so in between any spells of rain a reasonably pleasant sort of day. but low pressure stays in charge, bringing us the unsettled breezy and showery theme on monday and low pressure sticks around for much of the week ahead. into tuesday too we see this weather front bringing further outbreaks of rain at times.
5:28 am
so tuesday into wednesday it is looking unsettled but the temperatures still remaining reasonably mild, up to around 21 degrees on tuesday. bye— bye. this is bbc world news. the headlines: north korea has testified what appears to be another ballistic missile. the south korean military said in unidentified projectile had been launched from the north—west and flew about 700 kilometres. donald trump has called for tougher sanctions. europe's police agency, europol, says that friday's cyber attack was unprecedented in scale. it is the hunt for those responsible will be a conflict investigation. the attacking targets in at least 99 countries. emmanuel macron will be sworn in as france's next president ina sworn in as france's next president in a ceremony in paris injust a few hours. emmanuel macron, who only formed his own political movement a year ago, takes over from the
