6:02 am
security experts are warning workers to protect their devices, in case of a new wave of attacks, as our correspondent richard galpin reports. this unprecedented global cyber attack hit the nhs hardest, leading to cancellations and delays at hospitals and gp surgeries across england and scotland. but ministers attending a crisis meeting yesterday concluded that the situation was back under control and the nhs was working as normal against the most part. an official assisted that the disruption was not because they were using old operating systems vulnerable to attack. they have some of the most up—to—date technology in the world. if you look back to december 2015, about one in five devices were using xp but now it is
6:03 am
less tha n devices were using xp but now it is less than one in 20. although the worse may be over for now, several hospitals like this one hearing york are warning that the disruption will continue beyond the weekend. in the wa ke continue beyond the weekend. in the wake of such of the real and cyber attack, security experts are calling on everyone to take simple measures to protect their computers from hackers are mending ransoms to unlock their computer files. the first one is to make sure that your security software patch was our up—to—date. the second is to employ upper and good antivirus software and the third most important for ransom where protection is to backup your data. but britain wasjust one of over 100 countries hit by the cyber attack. russia was targeted most while european to limit indications and car companies were also targeted as were schools and universities in china. in a few
6:04 am
minutes time we will speak to andy moore from outside the royal london hospital, one of the organisations still affected. the conservatives say they'lljoin forces with councils and housing associations to build thousands of new homes for rent — if they win the general election. theresa may says she wants to fix a broken market. it's not clear how much money the tories would invest, and labour have dismissed the announcement as spin. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. it is my great pleasure to hand that over to you. margaret thatcher became famous for selling off council houses. at this conservative prime minister is now pledging to help local authorities build more of them. if re—elected, theresa may would give councils new powers to purchase derelict land at below market value. housing authorities as well as local authorities could then use these to build more homes for rent. some homes would be sold off
6:05 am
after ten or 15 years. tenants would have first option to purchase and then proceeds used to fund more rented housing. traditionally conservative supporters, including those on housing support lists may be interested. a precise figure is yet to be given and they have not said how much extra funding would be given. labour pledges to build 100,000 homes a yearfor rent given. labour pledges to build 100,000 homes a year for rent and sale by the end of next parliament. the party says that conservative policy is spin, not substance, as some of the details are yet to be revealed. labour says it would raise billions of pounds for public services with a new tax on financial transactions — known as a "robin hood" tax. the party said extending the way shares were taxed and closing a loophole would bring in up to 26 billion in the next parliament, if they won the general election. the conservatives described labour's plans as a "shambles". leeds bradford airport has re—opened after police carried out a controlled explosion on a suspicious package.
6:06 am
incoming flights were diverted, and departing flights were delayed, while the item was dealt with after eight o'clock last night. police say the incident is not believed to have been malicious or terror—related. nursing leaders have warned the nhs in england is dangerously short of the nurses it needs. the union, which is currently considering strike action, blames the situation on stress and pay, but the conservatives say that while they've been in government, the number of nurses has risen. here's our health correspondent, jane dreaper. staff under pressure. the nurses union says it has uncovered a level of nhs vacancies it describes as dangerous. the rsc and asked nhs trusts in england for the so—called establishment figures, the level of staffing officially considered the right number for patients. the staffing officially considered the right numberfor patients. the union calculated that 11% of nursing post
6:07 am
are unfilled. and around the uk four out of five nursing directors say their hospital relies on goodwill to keep running. everytime finances are low, we see the budget of the nurses rated, we see them docking nurses on the wards and in our communities. this is difficult in district nurse sing and in mental health and without the legislation it is all too easy to fall into that trap of reducing staffing to save cost. the union found that vacancies another pa rt union found that vacancies another part of the uk were lower by increasing. the conservative said in response there were thousands more nurses on the wards of acute hospitals in england. labour described the union's figures are terrible news and said brexit would make recruitment harder. the liberal democrats expressed concern that nurses from other european countries we re nurses from other european countries were leaving. north korea has carried out another ballistic missile test, four days after a new president took office in the south. the us military has confirmed a missile was launched near north—western kusong which flew more than 400 miles,
6:08 am
before landing in the sea ofjapan. south korea's president, moon jae—in who campaigned on a platform of better engagement with the north condemned the test as a reckless provocation. emmanuel macron will be sworn in as french president later today, a week after his landslide victory. but the former banker who only formed his political movement a year ago, will face intense challenges to his promised reforms. here's our paris correspondent hugh schofield. one week after the party, now the serious stuff begins. the youngest—ever president of france stunned the world with his remarkable and rapid rise to power. from today, his task will be to wield it and to press the start button on his programme of reform. formalities today begin with the official handover from hollande. mr macron knows this place well, he used to work here
6:09 am
as an economic adviser. after that he will follow up with a procession up the champs—elysses hoping that the weather will be more suspicious. once the ceremonies are ever, president macron is not the kind of leader who is going to sit on his hands. he has already said he does not expect a honeymoon period and he knows that many of his ideas for change will be hotly contested. he wants to change the system, can he do it? we have no idea. will the system change? obviously there will be a lot of resistance. basically it is a leap in the dark. but macron says he is his own man. now that he has made it to the presidency, he will do things his own way. just approaching ten past six now
6:10 am
and we will turn our attention to last night and the eurovision. portugal won the competition for the first time in the history of the competition. did you stay up and watch? i must admit, iswitched competition. did you stay up and watch? i must admit, i switched off after the uk entry. salvador sobral, who is awaiting a heart transplant, lifted the trophy after winning over both the internationaljuries, and the tv viewers. the uk's luciejones delivered the country's best result in six years, as our correspondent steve rosenberg reports. he could not believe it. but sale at —— salvador sobral had just won eurovision. it is portugal's first it in the contest after 49 attempts. as for the song, his sister wrote it and it is very an eurovision. no gimmicks, no video screens. just a
6:11 am
melancholic malady and his charisma and charm. bulgaria came second. portuguese eurovision fans have been waiting for this moment for such a long time. they had grown so used to losing that winning sparked plenty of emotion. amazing. amazing. it will be amazing. it is like a dream come true. flying the flag for the uk was luciie jones. come true. flying the flag for the uk was luciiejones. a power ballad based 15th, our best result for six yea rs. based 15th, our best result for six years. i did really well because i did not want to come last. and, of course, this being eurovision there
6:12 am
was weird... there was wonderful... and what on earth was this?! but perhaps it won't be the music we remember. it is the mystery. during the interval act a man got up on stage and bared his bottom live on tv. a bum note indeed. an estimated 200 million people will have watched tonight ‘s contest. the show always delivers high ratings. personally, i wish you would have delivered a few more points to the united kingdom. i love... she did not miss a beat, that singer, not one look down, not one note ms when an intruder reached the age. what a professional. and
6:13 am
eurovision, a man wearing a horse head on a ladder in front of a chalk board... ticking all the boxes. let's look at the papers because eurovision does make the front of some of them, sadly. this is the front of the observer and you can see the winner there. the portuguese entry there winning the competition. lisbon is now gearing up to host the event next year. some may be worried whether money comes from because it is quite a big show that they need to put on but, but that is lisbon next year. on —— and the headlines about a millionaire targeting marginal seats. the sunday telegraph continuing the story that we have this morning about the nhs cyber attack. speaking about the disruption continuing for some time and a picture of the duchess of cambridge garden party yesterday at buckingham palace for children of
6:14 am
those who died while serving in the armed forces. just in case you did not have enough of politicians talking about brexit, how about harry stiles? he said he would vote for whoever is against brexit. that may sway your vote, i do not know. and a council revolution, that's dory we have been covering this morning about working with local councils to build more homes to rent. and we will give you more in the papers later. right now you are watching breakfast from bbc news and the main story this morning hifen many of the health trusts in england and scotland affected by friday's global cyber attack have had their it systems restored. but security experts say workers should protect their devices in case of a new wave of attacks. emmanuel macron will be inaugurated as france's next president in paris today.
6:15 am
he takes over from the outgoing president francois hollande. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. it's quite an optimistic picture today, and our weather watchers have been up early. we have these rainbow from suffolk, ta ken been up early. we have these rainbow from suffolk, taken recently. it's a double rainbow. it is a sunshine and showers scenario during the day ahead but this morning, we still have a band of fairly intense rain moving its way into eastern areas. it will clear in the next hour or two. here it is on the rainfall chart. it stretches all the way from the south coast all the way to the north and east of scotland. it's the weather front and it's just an hour or two a cross eastern areas. plenty of sunshine coming through here. south—westerly please —— breeze has cleared the mist and mercs a way but because we have the band of rain around in eastern scotland, it would
6:16 am
bea around in eastern scotland, it would be a bit grey. bass murk. further west, a good deal of dry and sunny weather. a few showers, as you can see, developing. we talked about it being a sunshine and showers stay but again, fora being a sunshine and showers stay but again, for a lot of the time, we will escape the showers and stay dry. plenty of strong may sunshine. the cloud will bubble up and bring a few showers to parts of south wales into the midlands across the south—west of england to 0xfordshire and will chair as well. probably the heaviest of the showers will be confined to scotland and northern ireland. —— —— wiltshire. look what is on the way on monday morning. u nfortu nately, really u nsettled is on the way on monday morning. unfortunately, really unsettled as we start of the new working week. todayis we start of the new working week. today is a very promising day. the wind and the rain sweeping in, the
6:17 am
return of the muggy air tomorrow. gardeners, of course, we need the rain across southern and eastern areas and it doesn't look like we will see that much but we have seen at dampening overnight. we could see the odd shower today and maybe tomorrow but tomorrow, maybe two or three inches across parts of cumbria, north wales, south—west scotland. but see this chart of low pressure into tuesday. it is still hanging around and bringing outbreaks of rain across the country. let's hope we begin to see some decent spells of sunshine today. let's make the most of it while it lasts. we'll be back with a summary of the news at half past six. 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 all this week's releases.
6:18 am
so we have a political thriller starring jessica chastain called miss sloane. alien: covenant, the latest in the ongoing alien franchise. and jawbone, written by and starring johnny harris. and miss sloane, even looking at the poster i so wanted to like this. it's washington, it's the west wing, already you're in with the intrigue! and it'sjessica chastain and a very fine director, so all the omens look good. so the story isjessica chastain is a lobbyist who gets embroiled in a battle between the people who want controls on gun sales and those who want to sell more guns. early on she is enlisted by a group of people who say, we're trying to make guns seem more popular. we want to get guns to appeal to women. she literally laughs them out of the room. the next thing that happens is she is approached by the other side, who are trying to fight for the restrictions lobby.
6:19 am
she decides that she will throw in her lot with them. they want her because of her very powerful and, it has to be said, sometimes cynical way of lobbying. here's a clip. what's the best indicator of voter in tension? that's our first prong. grassroots action aimed squarely at soliciting donations. not names in a petition, not clicks in cyberspace. will they know how much we're raising? non—profits have to report on theirfinances. every congressional staffer watches fining day like a hawk. while you're out there hustling, i'll be working influential senators who can deliver their colleagues votes. that's our second prong. 0ur third is to identify who holds sway in target states. employers, workers groups. don't just waltz into a senator's office and make your case, find out who they trust and convince that person to make your case. that is how we win. does she take no prisoners, i'm guessing? absolutely, that's exactly it. it's a take no prisoners performance and very strong supporting cast, including gugu mbatha—raw.
6:20 am
i went into this feeling the same as you did — i like the subject matter, i like the milieu, i like 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 about it that keeps you at a distance. i was never completely engrossed, i never completely believed in these characters. one of the things about it is it has this plot that's full of twists and turns and there is a certain point after which those twists and turns start to sort of defy credibility. that said, it is done with gusto and, as i said, jessica chastain is always worth watching in anything 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 0k, what i wanted it to be more than 0k. however, it makes sense, which is more than can be said
6:21 am
for alien: covenant, which is the next instalment in the ongoing alien franchise. now, are you an alien fan? oh my goodness, no. you know enough about me and horror films to know i'm chicken. there's no way. there is no way. the first alien film was a horror film, the second was a war film, then we had alien iii, which was a mess, alien: resurrection, which was weird. and now we got onto the prequels. prometheus, which really suffered from... rather than having the dialogue that they had in alien, which was space truckers, people in space talking about overtime, talking about work conditions, griping about stuff you could believe in. in prometheus they started talking about the nature of mankind, god, the nature of existence. this is very much a prometheus sequel rather than an alien prequel. we have a group of space truckers, they're in space, they get a signal, they arrive at a new planet. it looks like it's going to be a new eden, it actually turns out to be some kind of living hell. what they do all the time is talk about poetry,
6:22 am
about art, about life, about god, in a manner that nobody ever talks in space. we have sort of greatest hit reruns of all the famous moments from alien and aliens, but sped up in a way where they make no sense whatsoever. there is no question that ridley scott is a visual stylist, but he's only ever as good as his script. the fact is, with alien: covenant, the script is very, very weak. there's a famous story that when vincent ward was going to do alien iii, he wanted it to be the name of the rose in space. this is the da vinci code in space. and, as someone who loved alien because it was ruthless, because it was stripped down, and loved aliens because it's a war movie, this is very much like a massive amount of pontificating and holding forth and also it makes no sense whatsoever! 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 moment in it where a character says so little that makes any sense i laughed out loud. you've made me laugh! that's the only laugh you'll ever get from me about alien, i suspect.
6:23 am
i'm a little more hopeful about your third choice this week, jawbone. jawbone, written by and starring johnny harrison. i have to say, i know nothing about boxing, other than what i know from the movies. this is the tale of a washed—up boxer who is struggling with alcoholism and we meet him at the beginning of the film. he's on, i think, the south bank, in london, and he's drunk. he lives in a flat which used to be his mother's flat, he's in danger of being evicted. he's arrested early on for causing a disturbance. his life is in a mess. he turns up at his old gym, which is run by ray winstone and ray winstone gives him a look that tells you everything you need
6:24 am
to know about their history. he says, ok, you can train here, but no alcohol and no talk of unlicensed games. however, he needs money and the next thing is he's having a meeting with ian mcshane. here's a clip. i think i can get you your money. i tell him, i've got an ex aba champion with me who's looking for a fight. jimmy, you were one of the bravest kids i ever saw. the thing i don't with is kind of nick you're in now. so if you take this, it's on your back. whatever happens from there, you are on your own. yeah, i know. you're up for it, yeah? yeah, i'm up for it. right, i'll 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 like members of the cast. i thought it really drew you into the story. you believe in the character and his dejection and his addiction and his alcoholism and his struggle to redeem himself. so i said that moment when he first goes into the gym and ray winstone looks at him in a way that kind of tells you everything, there are some wonderful scenes
6:25 am
with michael smiley, who is a terrific actor, again it's not to do with what they say, it's to do with what they don't say. you know, cinematography has changed a lot since martin scorsese did not raging bull and, here, this puts you right there, in the ring, on the receiving end of the punches. as i said, i've never been to a boxing match in my life, or a boxing gym, but this had the smack of authenticity and it had heart. it felt like it was a story being told by somebody who really believed in all of this and it engages you. it makes you care. it's not fantastically original, but it is done in a way that seems very honest, very authentic, very moving. and 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 as well. yeah, ray winstone, as far as i'm concerned, walks on water anyway, but this is a very understated role and he plays it beautifully. and, as i said, michael smiley who is a terrific actor, a really, really brilliant screen presence. there are couple of moments between him and johnny harris‘s character, it's just to do with the way they look
6:26 am
at each other. everything is said in the eyes, and the gestures, in the way they hold their heads and necks. it was a real pleasure to see it because it's a textured film and it takes an idea that we've seen done... you know, boxing 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 about somebody overcoming 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! yeah, manhattan. i love a lot of woody allen. i love the jazz, the new york, the angst, the neurosis. it's all there. and the way that manhattan looks means it's one of the woody allen films that you should see on a cinema screen. often when you think of woody allen
6:27 am
you think of the jokes, the characters and all the rest of it. but this does look 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, annie hall, manhattan, i'm a huge fan of love and death. but the idea of seeing manhattan on the big screen — i haven't seen manhattan projected since it first came out, ‘79, 1980, something like that. the idea of being able to see it projected again, because it's a beautifulfilm. that's wonderful. i didn't know it was being reissued, so that's fantastic. talking of seeing things on a big screen, i'm very interested in this week's dvd because it is la la land, which i did enjoy hugely. but doesn't that really need to be seen on a big—screen, that wonderful opening shot, the dancing, the californian sunshine? well, i've seen it on a big screen and a small screen, although nowadays small screens
6:28 am
are no longer that small, and i have to say it worked both times for me. in fact, oddly, when i saw it on the small screen i was in slightly more comfortable conditions, because there weren't people talking around me. i really like la la land, the opening sequence which is so beautiful. glorious! i think emma stone's performance is terrific. some people have complained and said things like, there's not a memorable tune in that film. i thought, what are you talking about?! and it made me happy! you leave with a spring in your step and a song in your heart. i loved the ending and i won't spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen it. but i thought it was spot on. i will say no more because that would be a spoiler. it would be. they do it really, really well. incidentally, it's a musical, oddly in the same way manhattan is kind of a musical as well. not really, but sort of. it is glorious. the music is driving the story. thank you very much, mark. that is the dvd viewing for the week. a reminder, you can find much more film news and reviews from across the bbc online of course. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer.
6:29 am
that's it for this week. enjoy your cinema going. goodbye. and hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sian lloyd. coming up before seven helen will have the weather but first, a summary of this morning's main news. most of the health organisations in england and scotland that were affected by a global cyber attack are back up and running, but some patients face continued disruption with six trusts in england still affected. let's speak now to andy moore who is outside the royal london hospital, part of barts health trust — the biggest in the country, what's the situation there? are things returned to normal yet? still a few problems at this
6:30 am
hospital but the good news generally it is, that the home secretary says and% of nhs trust in england are operating normally. six have oblongs, like here, there is a handwritten note on a indeed he is saying that they still have it problems. a major incident has been declared here this weekend and they are advising people to choose other services if they can. a similar problem at another hospital. and in paper with long queues as a result. and yet another nhs trust has cancelled all routine surgery for tomorrow. in scotland, 13 health boards are affected. some of them have their computer systems back up and running so some of them have not however the situation is that they expect all of them to be up and running by tomorrow in scotland. thank you very much for that update. the conservatives say they'lljoin forces with councils and housing associations to build thousands of new homes for rent — if they win the general election.
6:31 am
theresa may says she wants to fix a broken market. it's not clear how much money the tories would invest, and labour, who have committed to building a million new homes in the next five years, have criticised the announcement as spin. labour says it would raise billions of pounds for public services with a new tax on financial transactions known as a "robin hood" tax. the party said extending the way shares were taxed would bring in up to 26 billion pounds in the next parliament, if they won the general election. the conservatives described labour's plans as a "shambles". emmanuel macron will be sworn in as french president today. the former banker, who has never held elected office, won a landslide victory last sunday but will face intense challenges to his promised reforms. his first duties will include appointing a prime minister and flying to berlin to meet the german chancellor, angela merkel. egyptian archaeologists have discovered an ancient burial site holding at least 17 mummies, most of them fully intact,
6:32 am
which could date back two millennia. the site was uncovered eight metres below ground near the nile valley city of minya, about 150 miles south of cairo. the mummies were elaborately preserved and therefore likely belong to officials and priests. work at the site, which is close to an ancient animal cemetery, is only at a preliminary stage, so the discovery could be much bigger. quite a quiteafind. quite a find. richard is here with the sport. just after 630 and let's discuss the saracens, champions of europe. yes. what an achievement. back—to—back european champions, only the fourth team in history to do that. they won 28 points to 17. 0n do that. they won 28 points to 17. on top of being english champions as
6:33 am
well, they would have the european player of the year. they are one of the most dominant teams in world sport with their victory in yesterday ‘s final. it was a hard—fought victory. but as patrick gearey reports sarries showed once again just why they are champions. it looks like we are in for nasty. adam brand, city of performing arts. adam brand, city of performing arts. a stage routine that has made performing its art. the saracens we re performing its art. the saracens were european champions last year and are back to defend their title. this was billed as the day they could achieve greatness, the best drown out the surround sound. down the runway, prepare for takeoff. this made him the european cup's top try scorer. the saracens were rampant with another try coming. this finish was forceful rather than photogenic. deja vu for those in blue. clermont lost 13 major finals
6:34 am
but they had hope of a break with convention. saracens urged further ahead but clermont were onto something. 72 minutes at one point in it. just when the saracens thrive. a chance was spotted and the decisive try was scored. the arithmetic was improved and then the saracens have done it again. somebody asked later on if it was pleasing to win back—to—back cups but it was the manner in which we did it today. the way we did it, the way we played today was a hugely encouraging. this is a team that does not stop at the top. even as they lift this trophy they are thinking of the next one. manchester city's dominance of the women's game continues. they sealed a domestic triple with a 4—1victory over birmingham city in the fa cup final. jessica creighton watched the action at wembley. the women's game is making a lot of
6:35 am
noise these days. for the third year running, record numbers of fans marched to wembley for english football's showpiece competition. manchester city are growing superpower. lucy bronze showed her strength from the first goal before setting up a second. then it was the turn of manchester city's star player to shine. birmingham out of the game but at least their fans had something to cheer about. man city we re something to cheer about. man city were yet to finish. jill scott wrapped up their third trophy in a few months. these are big players who play on big occasions and our performance today was unbelievable. for so long, this is the competition that manchester he said he wanted to win. and now they can add the fa cup to their super league and league cup titles. they have proven here today

6:37 am
win at stoke. 0livier giroud scored twice. all the pressure now then on liverpool who play west ham later. swansea had a crucial win, they moved four points clear of the drop zone with a 2—0 win at sunderland. paul clement's side were four points adrift at the bottom of the table when the manager took over injanuary, but kyle naughton's strike means they could be safe from relegation by the end of the day. coming into it, our motivation was much higher and although sunderland gaveit much higher and although sunderland gave it a good effort, just think what made to us was far more and we showed that in our performance. an emotional occasion there at white
6:38 am
hart lane. fuller and redding drew the first leg of their championship play—off semifinal at craven cottage. redding struck after 53 minutes but fulham fought back and levelled. redding had a man sent off but remained one all. the second work is on tuesday and sheffield wednesday is the other semifinal. rangers have secured third place in the scottish premiership. they won 2-1 at the scottish premiership. they won 2—1 at ibrox. elsewhere, dundee hell their survival chances with a point again ross county. motherwell out of the relegation play—off spot after they won at hamilton. kilmarnock will stay up and windsor saint johnstone confirmed european football for them next season. lewis hamilton edged out his title rival to ta ke

for spaniard gorka izagirre. luxembourg's bobjungels retains the overall leader's pinkjersey ahead of thomas and fellow briton adam yates in third. is still a long way to go, however. it finishes in a fortnight in the line and they return to the mountains tomorrow. it is hard work just watching it. did you watch eurovision? i want to say yes, but no, idid eurovision? i want to say yes, but no, i did not. is that allowed? yes, thatis no, i did not. is that allowed? yes, that is fine. thank you very much, richard. the majority of nhs trusts in england and scotland are getting back to normal, following friday's cyber attack which hit computer systems in around a 100 countries. systems in around 100 countries. questions have been asked about how up today the nhs‘s systems are. let's speak to ben heather from the publication ‘health service journal'. he joins us now from our london newsroom. good morning. if!
6:42 am
good morning. if i could pick up on that, questions about how up—to—date the nhs systems are. i presume they will have been look closely looking at how up—to—date they are and updating whatever needs to be done. yes. they will be patching their systems and potentially updating it to call owes the vulnerability that allowed this ransom attack to get through. it includes to the older operating system. it does have a patch for it now, i guess there are broader questions circulating around about how the investment in it investment infrastructure over time, the lack of capital being put into it for quite sometime. i suspect those will be questions going about in the coming weeks. we understand that, know, there were updates available for some of these programmes. worthy warnings heeded?
6:43 am
did they not update? was it due to a lack of investment that meant action was not ta ken? lack of investment that meant action was not taken? there are a couple of different strands are. there was an update available for everything but windows xp prior to the attack. so in march microsoft released a patch closing the vulnerability. nhs digital basically told trusts in late april that this patch was available and recommended that they apply it. so that would have closed the vulnerability for the majority of computers. with the exception of windows xp. there has been much talk about windows xp being the gateway for this ransomware attack to get into the nhs. it is not quite that simple. most computers are not on windows xp and those that are a closed a network. so that would suggest to me that, given one fifth
6:44 am
of trusts were hit by this ra nsomwa re of trusts were hit by this ransomware attack that many people just did not apply the patch in time. and for people who may not be aware, could you explain about xp, how will do exactly is that system? to give you an idea, support was pulled from it in 2014. technically that means there is no updates provided to protect it from any vulnerability and there has been a lot of talk about the need to move off windows xp in the nhs. there was a report that came out last year, two reports, actually, that highlighted obsolete technology was the vulnerability for the nhs in terms of things like this, in terms of data loss. there has been a concerted effort to move off windows xp as concerted effort to move off windows xpasa concerted effort to move off windows xp as a burning platform but... in some ways even the next generation,
6:45 am
windows seven which would be the most common operating system in the nhs is due to be unsupported in 2020. so, potentially, we could go through this whole process over again ina through this whole process over again in a few years time. i think it does point to the fact that, essentially, nhs does take a while to get off these older systems and, um, much of that does come down to capital investment. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. it wasn't a bad day yesterday. a fairly promising day of weather today. i want to shave beautiful shot that has been sent in from suffolk this morning, a double rainbow. some rain around and that
6:46 am
is the overnight rain. we have had a dampening off the ground for the gardens. we will see some showers today. following behind this rainfall, a lot of dry weather. a few showers across a snowdonia and coming across the western side of ireland. not great for mountain walking but a lot of places was the dry weather. you can see the weather front in the north. behind it, after yesterday's ltd sunshine, it is a high sunshine for most parts of england and wales and parts of southern scotland. the reason not so for the now is that cloud. —— further north. it will be notably brighterfor the further north. it will be notably brighter for the east of scotland. some good spells of sunshine. we will see the cloud buildup across
6:47 am
england and wales. as the showers develop, the best of the sunshine will be around southern parts of england, the conventional. maybe the western side of northern ireland. inland, a few showers. 15— 20. we have lost the humidity. pleasant in the strong may sunshine. gusty winds that it falls light overnight. it will turn chilly in the north and the east, down into low single figures for the glens of scotland. here is what is coming in later. it is quite wet for south—west scotland, northern england, northwest wales. bubbly as much as 60- 80 northwest wales. bubbly as much as 60— 80 millimetres. —— probably. still warm rain. there won't be that much of across southern and eastern
6:48 am
areas that it is promising to be a cloudy start of the working week. we can cloudy start of the working week. we ca n always cloudy start of the working week. we can always be promised more of the rain into tuesday as well. i'm down in your part of the country for brea kfast in your part of the country for breakfast and i don't like the look of that forecast. yes, we are on a farm on tuesday morning. we're back with the headlines at 7:00. now it's time for the latest technology news, with click. energy — as our demand for it grows, the world is faced with a challenge.
6:49 am
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 harnessing more solar and wind energy than ever, and last month the uk had its first day of electricity supply without burning any coal. 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,
6:50 am
they fuse together forming helium, and releasing immense amounts of energy. this is nuclearfusion 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 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 self—sustaining, 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 fusion happens inside machines called tokamaks. what is a tokamak? this is a tokamak. now this one is just outside 0xford, which turns out to be
6:51 am
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 prototypes can be tested and improved much quicker and more cheaply, as the science is understood and the designs refined.
6:52 am
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! inside here, we are generating plasma, which is a gas with electricity flowing through it and we're going to fuse atoms together, join them together, to generate fusion energy. and this light show isn't even fusion. this isjust 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
6:53 am
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 sun, 100 times 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 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 faster progress towards fusion energy. it's one of the biggest
6:54 am
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 raised. 0nline fundraising platforms now play a big role 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, raised just under £350 million last year. this is a figure that charities may not have been able to raise without these sites, but these donations are also big business. justgiving takes up to 5% commission, 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 causes. so the majority of our funding comes from individualfundraisers. for example, one of our runners
6:55 am
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 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 helps vulnerable young people in south london to gain leadership skills. both organisations have been experimenting with kind link, a site which promises to give charities although collected donations and will not
6:56 am
make its money from commissions. i went to meet its founder, iskren kulev, who traded in corporate life and set up a home office, just 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 charities would post updates. the biggest problem 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.
6:57 am
exactly, yes. it's always a matter of negotiation, i would say. i would go firstly through volume is important, so how you present volumes to your providers. 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 on your side, because he knows how it all works behind—the—scenes. and so far it's proving successful, with more than 170 charities 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 trains 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
6:58 am
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 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.
6:59 am
having landed at the kennedy space centre, all that the pentagon declared about the air force's robotic mini space shuttle is that it was performing risk reduction, experimentation and concept of operations development. intriguing! and, finally, hollywood quality animation comes to the masses. 0k, well, not quite. the smartsuit pro camera—free motion tracking system costs 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 cut 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'd be so kind. thanks for watching and see you soon! hello, this is breakfast,
7:00 am
with ben thompson and sian lloyd. the investigation continues into the cyber attack that caused chaos in the nhs — security experts warn workers to prepare for a new wave of attacks. almost all of the affected health trusts are back up and running. but problems persist at a handful of organisations, with some patients told to expect further disruption.
