8:00 am
hello, this is breakfast, 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. good morning, it's 8am, it's sunday the 14th of may. also ahead: the conservatives promise powers for councils to build more homes for rent. labour says the plan lacks detail. we will be live in paris as emmanuel macron is due to be sworn in as france's new president. in sport, saracens are champions of europe again... they beat clermont auvergne to become only the fourth team
8:01 am
in history to win back to back european titles. portugal wins eurovision for the first time, as luciejones delivers the uk's best performance for six years. we will discuss that a little later. and helen has the weather. an optimistic weather picture. still some to clear in the east. plenty of sunshine coming through with a scattering of showers into the afternoon. some good spells of dry and sunny weather, strong sunshine in between. i what have more the us and around 15 minutes if you can join me. we will do. good morning. first, our main story. 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. security experts are warning workers to protect their devices, in case of a new wave of attacks, as our correspondent
8:02 am
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 meeting of the crisis response team cobra yesterday concluded that the situation was back under control and the nhs was working as normal again, for the most part. and nhs officials insisted that the disruption was not because they were using old microsoft computer operating systems vulnerable to attack. the nhs has 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 less than one in 20. although the worse may be over for now, several hospitals like this one here in york are warning that the disruption will continue beyond the weekend.
8:03 am
in the wake of such a virulent cyber attack, security experts are calling on everyone to take simple measures to protect their computers from hackers demanding ransoms to unlock their computer files. the first one is to make sure that your security software patches are up—to—date. the second is to employ proper and good antivirus software and the third and the most important for ransomware protection is to back—up your data. but britain was just one of over 100 countries hit by the cyber attack. russia was apparently targeted the most while european telecommunications and car companies were also targeted as were schools and universities in china. 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? what are they telling you that this
8:04 am
morning's the good news is generally comes from the home secretary amber rudd, she's a 97% of nhs trusts in england are working normally. there are at least seven nhs trust but are still experiencing problems. we have got one more to add to the list and thatis got one more to add to the list and that is the university hospital of midlands trust. they have confirmed that they are still expressing computer problems. the situation here at barts, the accident and emergency behind me, handwritten notices on the ancient saying they are suffering from it failure and there may be significant delays as a result. the hospitals here are still treating it as a major incident. a similar situation at the main hospital in lowestoft, they were treating us like saying there were long delays at accident and emergency because they had gone back to pen and paper. one has cancelled
8:05 am
any routine surgery for tomorrow. the situation in scotland, 13 health boards affected that. the scottish government says some systems are operating normally, that means presumably some are not. they are confident that everything will be back up and running by tomorrow. andy, thank you very much for keeping us up to date. the conservatives have announced that new council housing will be central to their manifesto, promising to build thousands of new homes. meanwhile labour has vowed to be tough on tax avoidance. a "robin hood tax" would raise £26 billion from stamp duty on financial transactions. let's get more detail now from our political correspondent mark lobel who is in our london newsroom. less disposable pick—up with the tories proposal, the return to council housing, it would be sold off in ten to 15 years, we are told. not much other detail? that is right. we are told there is not a target for the number of social homes that needs to be built, rather
8:06 am
council should show there is a need for social housing their areas. number ten said they expect birmingham and manchester to be the first areas to take up this scheme. but although no details on the funding, how much is going to be put into it. the clear message is that the conservatives want to when labour voters here. they wanted to squeeze over a million people on council waiting list. as you say, the interesting fact here, those council tenants will have the first right of refusal to buy their property. the aim of this scheme is that you sell the property and you cash in on the property market at the dip back into social housing. the labour proposal version of robin hood tax, one that we tax be riskier pa rt hood tax, one that we tax be riskier part of the banks, i cannot imagine it would be too popular with the big banks? not very popular in the city from some of the reaction we have heard, this is a tax of billions on some trading in the city which is
8:07 am
destined for public services, to pay for health and education policies that labours they are desperately neededin that labours they are desperately needed in the country and they want to tax the richest people and they say it is not a big tax, it is taxes on transactions like shared which raise £3 billion last year. they wa nt to raise £3 billion last year. they want to extend that now to bonds, other financial products to bring want to extend that now to bonds, otherfinancial products to bring in more income. but some in the city saying it will send traders elsewhere, they are saying that with brexit on the way, they fear a double whammy as the city of london may be hit again. it has been trialled by the eu but has not got very far and right now we hear reaction from both these conservative saying labour could damage the economy this way and the liberal democrats vince cable saying that labour's economic policy is less of robin hood, more mickey mouse. thank you very much, start of a busy week as those manifestos are lodged. full coverage across bbc news. —— as those manifestos are
8:08 am
launched. at least four people have died and five others have been seriously injured after a passenger train derailed in northern greece last night. the train was travelling from athens to the country's second—largest city, thessaloniki. around 100 passengers were aboard the train when it hit a house. it's unclear what caused it to come off the rails. leeds bradford airport has re—opened after police carried out a controlled explosion on a suspicious package. 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, who are currently considering strike action, have warned that the nhs in england is ‘dangerously‘ short of the nurses it needs. the rcn union blames the situation on stress and pay, but the conservatives say that whilst 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.
8:09 am
the rcn asked nhs trusts in england for the so—called establishment figures, the level of staffing officially considered the right number for patients. the union calculated that 11% of nursing post are unfilled. and around the uk, four out of five nursing directors say their hospital relies on goodwill to keep running. what we are finding is there are so many vacancies in our nhs at the moment. what we are also finding is that actually lots more health care assistants, support to our registered nurses, are being employed instead of registered nurses to fill those gaps. so we are concerned about that dilution of skills as well as the numbers themselves. the union found that vacancies in other parts of the uk were lower but increasing. the conservatives 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
8:10 am
would make recruitment harder. the liberal democrats expressed concern that nurses from other european countries were leaving. 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. let's now speak to our paris correspondent hugh schofield. it was a landslide victory but the turnout was poor and millions of ballots were spoiled. so are the french people excited about this moment or not? no, ithink no, i think they are quite excited. there is a lot of opposition to him in the country. he was a man who was elected in the first round of 23% and one in the second round because largely thanks to a big anti—marie le pen, and the far right vote. this isa le pen, and the far right vote. this is a big moment in any country's political history and there is
8:11 am
attached to him a sense of optimism. many people wishing well even if they did not vote for him. he will become president in less than an hour or become president in less than an hourorso, become president in less than an hour or so, the process begins at the elysee palace where he arrives with his motorcade and greeted on the steps i francois hollande, the man who used to serve as minister. they would be hunted down for a while, swapping nuclear codes and then that is the moment macron becomes presidents, francois hollande as is driven away. there will be a speech, he is inducted as grand master of the order of the legion of honour and then he will have what all presidents do which is a walk to lay a wreath. the work begins and that is what everyone will be waiting for because the best decision he has to make and make public will be the naming of a prime minister, very important moment. tomorrow, just as important, the first trip abroad to germany,
8:12 am
talking about eu and brexit. thank you very much. 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, 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. portugal has won the eurovision song contest for the first time in the history of the competition. he sings salvador sobral lifted the trophy after winning over both the internationaljuries and tv viewers. the portuguese singer, who is awaiting a heart transplant, described his win as a victory against "fast food music." the uk's lucie jones came 15th out of 26, the country's best result in six years.
8:13 am
# you can see how far you have walked # the mountains behind # the oceans crossed #. were you aiming for a particular place? no, ijust didn't want to come last so actually i did really well. woohoo! we will be talking to two major eurovision fans later on. it is approaching 8:15am. many of the health trust that were affected by friday's global attack have had their it systems restores. dick or the experts say they are using all —— the majority of nhs trusts in england and scotland are getting and scotland are getting back to normalfollowing friday's cyber attack which hit computer systems in around 100 countries.
8:14 am
security experts say they're using all the tools at their disposal to track down the criminals behind the malicious software. james smith is the chief executive of a cyber security firm which has been working with the authorities to do just that. he joins us now from the royal london hospital which is still experiencing problems. can you give us the latest on where we are in terms of getting the system is back online? so i think it is important firstly when an organisation such as the nhs is hit by ransomware to look at whether there's anything you can do to having to pay the ransom and they are checking whether their back—ups are checking whether their back—ups are sufficient, whether they can restore to one of those previous versions. many of them have been able to do so. but some are still had their systems down and they have to end up paying the ransom. had their systems down and they have to end up paying the ransomlj wa nted to end up paying the ransomlj wanted to ask you about that, how does one try get control of the system is back? i know you have been looking at the transactions but talk me through, if you might go about not paying the ransom but getting the system back online? so you need
8:15 am
to make sure you have got a plan in place, whether your company or an organisation like the nhs. so if you have sufficient back—ups, which i have sufficient back—ups, which i have taken before your computer system has become infected, you will be able to restore to those back—ups, restored to estate where the malware is not in the system. if you do not have those back—ups in place, then you are going to be a tricky situation. you may have to end up paying the ransom. so basically if you have got that back up, you can go to the system as it was before the cyber attack it. that is correct. let us talk about who is paying what. you have been looking at the transactions in terms of who has been paying this bit coin and out of the way of sending money on the internet, it is difficult and anonymous to trace. you have been looking at who is paying any money thatis looking at who is paying any money that is going into accounts.
8:16 am
absolutely. 0ur that is going into accounts. absolutely. our company specialises in treating these payments. we have been watching how much has been paid and so far. bear in mind the deadline for a lot of the systems that have been locked up is on monday. so we had seen about £30,000 worth of payments coming to date. the payment for each of the mr bigley demanded between 300 and $600. after 70 you —— 72 hours, the fine stumble. weird anticipate to see an increase in those final days. we will definitely see an increase in fines we will definitely see an increase infines coming we will definitely see an increase in fines coming in as we approach the second deadline, because the system will be locked forever.m the second deadline, because the system will be locked forever. it is interesting you call them fines, it is blackmail, isn't it? let's talk about how you can track some of these. money going into these bit coin accounts, iu able to see it
8:17 am
going? i assume there is no way to see whether it is going after that? bit coin is thought of as anonymous but with the right software, you are able to trace some of the pavements and that is where we specialise. we work with law enforcement and companies who been affected to help after the fact, try and identify who the attackers might be, understand where the funds flowing to and, in some cases, in the past, we've been able to recover funds after chasing them to somewhere where the attacker is trying to cash out. so that's out, how hope for your dad in this case you will be able to find out who did it, where the attack came from and get the money back for the people who've paid? we are always hopeful. the funds have not moved. we are keeping a watching eye on it. we are keeping a watching eye on it. we are keeping a watching eye on it. we are communicating with law enforcement and as soon as we study the moving, we will bejumping on it and helping them try to figure out who is this. it is good to know
8:18 am
there is some hope. james, thank you very much. it is 8:17am. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. and optimistic picture this morning. let us start with the sunshine. they beat. to the day. further east we have some rain and this is how it was looking in norfolk about an hour ago, just a lovely picture there with the rain on the camera. this is why, front that has been moving through during the night and it has been given much—needed rainfall to the governance and the right midday, overnight. it should clear out quite quickly, sunshine following, a scattering of showers mostly over the hills of wales at the moment. that weather front is on that way out. most of us enjoying the sunshine mid—morning. takes a long longer to clear the scotland. just a
8:19 am
scattering of showers, furthermore dry weather and we will see showers for the majority. it could still be heavy with some hail and thunder across parts of violent and grampian scotland. 0therwise, much brighter for the east coast of scotland where we had that the hard for the last few days. brighter here, some sunshine coming through. showers rumbling through northern ireland, good lengthy spells of sunshine between. we did see showers setting off across wales, running into the midlands and the south—west peninsula, gloucestershire, oxygen as well. in between, it is strongest sunshine. it is as strong now as latejuly, early sunshine. it is as strong now as late july, early august. sunshine. it is as strong now as latejuly, early august. that is something if you're going out for a while to think about. then through the evening and overnight, the showers head away, quite pleasant for a time that will turn quite chilly in the often used areas. three orfour chilly in the often used areas. three or four cells some rural spots of scotland. not out west and temporary as well because we have got as well because we have got this
8:20 am
low— pressure got as well because we have got this low—pressure emboli bring the uk for monday. it covers most of the north atlantic. circulating those weather fronts across us. so a means wet weather, windy weather with those tightly packed ice baths, not too far off gayle in the north and the west. a lot of hill fog and muddy hour. not a great deal of rain where it is needed but over the hills and the north west, part of scotland, we could see two or three inches of rain tomorrow and tomorrow night. as i say, it is made. yeah, not great. i'm going down to south wales for the programme on tuesday. that great big blob of blue where i need to feed. this is not good. we need that to change before tuesday, please. i will try good. we need that to change before tuesday, please. iwill try my good. we need that to change before tuesday, please. i will try my best act right. after more than four decades in the saddle, olympic gold medallist nick skelton will bow out of showjumping at the royal windsor horse show today.
8:21 am
the 59—year—old, along with his stallion big star, won great britain's first individual gold in rio last summer — in what was skelton's seventh olympic games. david mcdaid went to visit both horse and jockey at their stables near stratford upon avon. an easy morning right for the 0lympic an easy morning right for the olympic champion. who is now enjoying life in the slow lane. last summer though, as the slightly more pressure, nick skelton delivered. he has done at lexmark nick skelton, ta kes has done at lexmark nick skelton, takes the gold for great britain. the country's first ever individual gold at that. today at the royal windsor show, the 59—year—old. the curtain ona windsor show, the 59—year—old. the curtain on a long and distinguished career. i have been competing internationally for 43 years and i just thought now was the right time after rio, it was time to call day. yeah, ithink
8:22 am
after rio, it was time to call day. yeah, i think sunday will bring it all back to me a little bit. maybe shed a few tears? i'm going to try not to but we will see. skelton has had decades of success, then to seven 0lympic had decades of success, then to seven olympic games and even ove rca m e seven olympic games and even overcame a broken neck. his right—hand man says the secret to all of that is simple. he is a worker. he is not only the top jockey that he will do anything, he will cut the lawns, wash the lorries out. he is not frightened of work. if nick says he is coming to ride at seven, he is their dead on at seven. he is never that at five past seven, he is out seven. but as anyone will tell you, aggression is not even a one man or one human show. skelton's trying to injury would not have gone without his trusty steed big star who is also hanging up his saddle. he is very intelligent about what he's doing. he's got a great brain on him. he does not want to hit the
8:23 am
polls, he is very careful. there is no cause that he cannotjump. he is very rideable and his temperament is brewed. he has everything you want in a horse. it took 43 years to win his gold but we'll will need to wait as long as them to celebrate further 0lympic triumphs? as long as them to celebrate further olympic triumphs? you hope the robot it all has to be in good timing, the ride it as a whole separate time, not too old, not too young. we have some good writers about. the future is hopefully looking bright. showjumping says farewell to two big stars today but more could soon be shining in their place. fantastic achievement. fantastic career. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's 8:23am. time now for a look at the newspapers. entertainment journalist emma bullimore is here to tell us what's caught her eye. gp's
8:24 am
gp‘s demanding fees. we were hearing that the nhs is under great strain and there is going to be a big conference this week. they are talking about this as a solution perhaps. gps are saying like you pay for the dentist, you should pave yourgp. for the dentist, you should pave your gp. hopefully this. people going with minor helmets which is a bit strange considering they seem to be telling us come to house if you spot an mole, if you are happy about anything, come to us. it seems at odds with that. people worry more vulnerable in society will not go. is it vulnerable in society will not go. isita vulnerable in society will not go. is it a way of getting people to turn upfor is it a way of getting people to turn up for the appointment that they may? cancellations are a huge problem. surely if you're not turning up at your appointments then you are a risk of being struck off from your practice or you might have to find somewhere else. there are other ways to deal with that, you would think. it is the same challenge, if you strike the ball up, they might be vulnerable, they cannot get access to a gp in the first place. home buyers to get a
8:25 am
pollution warning. so we get warnings at the moment about energy efficiency, local schools, this was one about how polluted the local areas. so many things to consider when you buy a house. they say this is as important as energy efficiency, 15% of your house value, apparently, can be at stake with theirs. so people think they are really concerned about the leash and now, is where i live going to affect my health? they are saying it can have a massive impact on your health. 50% difference. impact on your health. 5096 difference. bans 15%. impact on your health. 5096 difference. bans 1596. another thing to worry about. definitely something to worry about. definitely something to be worried about. it is the ba ftas to be worried about. it is the baftas tonight. network drama leads field at bafta tv awards. the crown will be hoping to get some awards.
8:26 am
cammack has been lobbying popular with millennial. to get this recognition from the gold standard of arts awards, the baftas, would be a huge deal. the most nominations, a good chance of winning, claire follows is up for best actress. mainstream bbc dramas that made an impact. to have that gold standard, for the industry to accept that streaming services are here, they are here to stay, people willing to pay for them, it raises questions about funding models and clearly they are spending a lot of money on they are spending a lot of money on the ground to get people to sign up. exactly. netflix have been very fashionable to work for because give the talent the chance to do what they want. if they got a chance of winning a battle as well, it is only going to become more popular. this could be a big dealfor netflix tonight. this story on the front of the times. i tried to work out
8:27 am
whether i can get away with wearing the suit, especially not on the sofa. the story in here is this one. iam sofa. the story in here is this one. i am probably going to vote whoever is against brexit, harry styles, the one direction singer. who cares what he thinks? they are the biggest boy band in the war, or they were. harry styles is the biggest star in the band. he is gone for a swanky lundy restau ra nt, band. he is gone for a swanky lundy restaurant, it's all grown—up and it is tried to rebrand him as he leaves the band. we have seen this so many times before, reinvented with a new image. this was much classier robbie williams. i think it is costly move to him and we will see izzy is able to him and we will see izzy is able to back it up in the future. his love life also covered. we were just talking earlier about the demographics, who would be his fans. a lot of them have grown up with him through one direction but not the voting age? perhaps not. he has said that about brexit but he
8:28 am
has said that about brexit but he has not got into huge detail. he is gone with the left—wing popular pop star opinion. it is not that ground—breaking but the fact that he is allowed to talk about it and it has not been shut down by media representatives is a big deal. we will see what he finds of the ma nifestos will see what he finds of the manifestos this week. thank you. coming up in the next half hour... the annual celebration of catchy pop, ludicrous costumes and glittering divas otherwise known as the eurovision song contest is over for another year. we'll find out if the event earned nul points when two superfans join us to give their verdict. we have heard yours already, ben. i don't think anyone else needs to hear mine. stay with us — headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sian lloyd. coming up before 9am, helen will have the weather. but first, a summary of this
8:29 am
morning's main news. most of the health trusts in england and scotland that were affected by a global cyber attack have had their it systems restored. the attack, which affected thousands of computer systems in about 100 countries, has been described as unprecedented. security experts are warning workers to protect their devices, in case of a new wave of attacks. 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 is 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
8:30 am
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". nursing leaders have warned the nhs in england is ‘dangerously‘ short of the nurses it needs. the royal college of nursing has calculated as many as 40,000 posts are unfilled. the union, which is currently considering strike action, blames the situation on stress and pay, but the conservatives say that whilst they've been in government, the number of nurses has risen. actually there isn't even enough money in the system. these trusts have a deficit and to save money, though not filling some of those vacancies. if you look at the money available and the nurses needed, it just doesn't add up, so we need investment in the nursing as well as an increased investment and our student nurses so they can go to university and work on our wards which is what the courses do for our
8:31 am
nurses, to get far more in the. —— to get far more into our nhs. 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. leeds bradford airport has re—opened after police carried out a controlled explosion on a suspicious package. 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. egyptian archaeologists have discovered an ancient burial site holding at least 17 mummies, most of them fully intact, which could date back 2000 years. 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
8:32 am
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. some incredible pictures there, absolutely fascinating. i wonder how many more there are. we will find out. time for a look at the sport. it's all about saracens. what a great picture that is, you said earlier. what an achievement as well, back—to—back european champions, only the fourth side to do that in history. they are also english champions as well. to top it all off, 0wen farrell was named european player of the year. so saracens can now claim to be one of the uk's most dominant teams in world sport with that 28—17 victory over clermont auvergne in yesterday's final at murrayfield. it was a hard—fought victory. early tries by chris ashton and george kruis put saracens on their way but the french side hit back to get within a point.
8:33 am
going into the final 15 minutes before alex goode crossed for the decisive score. saracens are the fourth team to retain europe's premier club title after leicester, leinster and toulon. i'm just chuffed that week, i think, the manner we did it and played today, was hugely encouraging. well done to saracens and the manchester city women. manchester city kept up their dominance of the women's game, winning the fa cup at wembley in front of a record crowd. they beat birmingham city 4—1, with american world cup winner manchester city kept up their dominance of the women's game, city went unbeaten in winning the league last season as well as winning the continental cup, this was the one trophy they hadn't won before. joy then for manchester city's women at wembley, and don't forget voting for the annual bbc women's footballer of the year award closes on monday morning at 9am. five superb players from around the world
8:34 am
are waiting for your vote — so go to bbc.co.uk/womensfootball and choose your favourite. with chelsea having clinched the premier league title the battle at the top is now all about those champions league spots. manchester city moved a step closer to securing one. they're back up to third after a narrow 2—1win over leicester, the goals came from david silva and a gabriel jesus‘s penalty in the first half. leicester got one back and looked to have rescued a point with this riyad mahrez penalty... but the referee spotted that he had kicked the ball twice and disallowed the goal. arsenal closed the gap on the top four, they're nowjust one point behind fourth—placed liverpool after a comfortable 4—1win 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. kyle naughton's strike means they could be safe from relegation by the end of the day.
8:35 am
hull really need to win at crystal palace later to have any realistic chance of staying up. rangers have secured third place in the scottish premiership. they beat hearts 2—1 at ibrox. barrie mckay with the winner in the second half. hearts played most of the match with ten men after prince buaben was sent off. elsewehere there were wins for motherwell kilmarnock and stjohnstone. dundee drew with ross county mercedes‘ lewis hamilton edged out title rival sebastian vettel to take pole position ahead of the ferrari for today's spanish grand prix. hamilton clocked his quickest lap early on in q3, and despite a last second attempt by vettel to surpass him, the german could only manage second — 0.051 seconds slower. valterri bottas was third. q3 lap was very good. 01 03 lap was very good. 01 and q3 lap was very good. 01 and two we re q3 lap was very good. 01 and two were good. the last lap was not so
8:36 am

8:46 am
down to seven or 8 degrees in the city. monday brings us this low pressure, moving in on the charts here. it's wet and windy, and that will hang around until midweek. it brings further possibilities of rain. across south scotland and england and north wales, most will see some rain. it will still be warm rain but that breeze is not great. there is plenty more of that to come as we move to tuesday. wednesday at the moment is looking really, very wet if the computer models come through. across southern and eastern parts of the country. the good and bad there is that it is made, we don't want that much rain, but it is of course needed. have a good day. thank you, helen. looking a bit damp in the country. we need the rain to move away. it is adored and derided in near—equal measure but, love it or loathe it, it is impossible to deny the continued appeal of eurovision.
