europe's police agency, europol, says the global cyber attack has hit more than 200—thousand victims in more than 150 countries. cyber security experts are now warning of a possible new wave of malware attacks around the world when people return to work after the weekend. europol says friday's cyber attack was unprecedented in its scale. karl riley reports. europol says it has seen how ra nsomwa re europol says it has seen how ransomware has europol says it has seen how ra nsomwa re has become europol says it has seen how ransomware has become a major criminal problem in the last two yea rs criminal problem in the last two years but they have never seen anything on this scale. ransomware combined with the worm application which means infected computers passed on to others on its network. the attack was indiscriminate in nature, designed to affect as many people and as many companies as possible on a global basis. the health care sector is vulnerable

because health trusts post a lot of sensitive information very often on old it systems. the criminals know of course that if they can exploit the vulnerability there, the obligations would be serious. there we re obligations would be serious. there were 200,000 computers infected across 150 countries before a 22—year—old briton hailed as a hero stopped its ability to spread. finding a simple kill switch in its cold, something he warned was just a temporary fix. there isa is a lot of money in this, there is i'io is a lot of money in this, there is no reason for them to stop. there is not really much effort for them to change the code. now the director of europol has confirmed the fears of security experts. we have since seen the cyber criminals react to this and put out a new variant of this which overcomes that temporary fix andl which overcomes that temporary fix and i am also concerned about what happens on monday morning because i think this bug will be sitting in systems over the weekend, that are

so systems over the weekend, that are so far not been used and when people arrive for work on monday morning and turn on their computer, i think we will see the numbers going up again. why the high-profile organisations hit have largely recovered, britain's nhs among them, thanks to back—up systems, some victims, especially many individuals we re victims, especially many individuals were so victims, especially many individuals were so prepared. graduation isjust weeks away for students at this campus in china, with no option but to pay up if they want their files are blocked by the hackers. translation: the encryption of the ra nsomwa re was translation: the encryption of the ransomware was pretty advanced, individual users would not be over to recover their files. so i think for users, they'll should always back up their files, upgrade their security software and use antivirus tools. and with the new attack imminent, that is the main advice from security experts, download the latest security patches from microsoft and regularly back—up to devices not connected to the

internet. karl riley, bbc news. 0ur security correspondent gordon corera says the the latest ransomware is a large—scale and indiscriminate attack. it isa it is a global attack. it is not targeted at a particular country or particular industry sector, it is basically spread everywhere on the internet looking for machines which it can exploit, because they have a certain operating system which has not been upgraded in a way, which allows this worm to operate and do its work by encrypting and making the data on it inaccessible. we have seen this strange distribution of it where in the uk for instance, the national health service has been targeted, but in other countries, factories or in germany, railways we re factories or in germany, railways were targeted, different companies in different countries because it basically comes down to which companies or organisations or people we re companies or organisations or people were using a particular operating system which was vulnerable to this attack. and are we any nearer to

knowing who is behind it? noel is the simple answer. i have spoken to people who say they still have not got a clear sense of who it might be. typically this is a criminal act rather than the state act. typically, not always. but because they are seeking to make money, they are asking for a ransom payment in that guides, a certain amount of people have paid, tens of thousands of dollars, but it looks like no one has extracted that or taken the money out, which has been paid. i think authorities will be hoping there might be some way of tracing those that coins, you're not supposed to be able to, but it might be possible. who this criminal gang was or whether they really understood how widespread the impact would be, whether it is a small gang or established gang, all of that is unclear. a predominantly companies and what do they need to

need to do to protect themselves? this is a wake—up call for anyone, to protect yourself you need up—to—date software, you need to be running the software which has been patched meaning the vulnerability has been closed. in this case, the vulnerability was spotted and a patch, a fix for it was sent out and if people had used that, then they would not have been affected. it really is a sign that people need to ta ke really is a sign that people need to take cyber security seriously and those people who were able to upgrade and update their machines will not have been affected in the way that others were. gordon corera talking to me earlier. angela merkel‘s christian democrats have won germany's most populous state, beating their main social democrat rivals, in the last electoral test before the national poll in september. exit polls for north rhine—westphalia show angela merkel‘s christian democrats taking a projected share of 34—point—five percent of the vote, with their free democrat allies on 12 percent. the social democrats have 30—point—five percent while their governing partners, the greens, slumped to six percent. 0ur berlin correspondent, damien mcguinness, told me this result would be seen as a pointer to the federal election in a few months time. that is why this regional election

matters because on the one hand, it matters because on the one hand, it matters in its own right, this is germany's largest state, 13 point something million voters are both there and they vote primarily on regional issues. they are voting on schools, policing, transport, these are all issues run by the regional governments, but this region is also a bellwether and a signal for the national elections in four months' time and that is partly because this is traditionally a sdp centre—left stronghold and martin schulz, angela merkel‘s challenger said and he assumed that they were going to win their and they were going to set up a strong left—wing coalition government in that area because martin shilts felt some enthusiasm from left—wing voters over the past

few months and he assumed he would do well here and that this would be a strong signal for september. do well here and that this would be a strong signalfor september. he has just a strong signalfor september. he hasjust said a strong signalfor september. he has just said about half an hour ago that it has just said about half an hour ago thatitis has just said about half an hour ago that it is a difficult day for social democracy and a difficult day for him personally because he is well aware now that this is a signal that actually the support around the country may not be as strong as he thinks, because what we have noticed over the past few weeks really is that the initial enthusiasm for him seems to have faded somewhat and that polls are showing that actually angela merkel, the current incumbent chancellor is the most popular and it seems that most voters want her to stay and it is partly because she is seen as a safe pair of hands in insecure times. a difficult day for martin schultz, he is not exactly when to throw in the towel, but do you think as far as his leadership challenge goes, you pretty much predicts that it will not happen? that is what some commentators are already saying, they are saying it is the end of the road for him but he said he would keep fighting. it

also has to be said that it depends what happens over the next few months, but those angela merkel has had a few knocks over the past few yea rs, had a few knocks over the past few years, during the resurgence of the refugee crisis, we have had terror attacks and all those things did not support and there are plenty of voters who are not satisfied with angela merkel and want a change, but i think what we have seen over the past month or so is that people here are saying that martin schultz has not really come up with concrete policies and the sdp are finding it difficult really to get that centre ground where mrs merkel sitting co mforta bly ground where mrs merkel sitting comfortably indeed when it comes to issues to do with migration when it comes to do with security and terror, angela merkel is sitting in the popular centre ground which the sdp is minded hard to occupy. that is the problem and until martin schultz can come up with concrete policies to really combat mrs merkel, it is hard to see how he will beat in september. damian mcguinness there. emmanuel macron has promised to restore france's global standing,

as he was sworn in as the country's youngest president, at the age of 39. speaking at an elaborate elysee palace ceremony, president macron also vowed to see the eu ' reformed and re—launched' during his time in office. his inauguration comes just a week after his resounding victory over the national front‘s marine le pen. 0ur europe correspondent damian grammaticas reports. not since france had an emperor 200 years ago, as it had a leader this young. 39 years old and inaugurated president today of one of the world's most powerful nations. emmanuel macron has seized his opportunity, propelled by a young man's self—confidence and some political good fortune. the disillusion that has fuelled populism elsewhere, has led france to back a newcomer, but one squarely in the centre ground. emmanuel macron routed the traditional parties. the outgoing president,

francois hollande, leaves office as france's most unpopular leader of modern times. but the task in front of mr macron is huge. if this business friendly liberal is to honour his pledge to transform france. translation: all labour laws will be liberalised, companies will be supported. innovation and creativity will be at the heart of my programme. the french feel left behind by globalisation and will be better protected. to achieve that, mr macron needs a majority in parliament, but his new party has no mps and elections are in four weeks' time. emmanuel macron has promised this moment will mark a decisive break from the past for france, a moment of national renewal where all his predecessors have promised reform and failed to deliver. he will need more than useful to optimism and energy to succeed. what mr macron hopes he can make it

a force at the heart of the eu, say those who know him. translation: he will relaunch the eu. if the british were still members, they would be part of this, but we will do this without them. it is on the basis that countries who want to cooperate further, will. for france and europe, much rests on some very young shoulders. the un security council will meet to discuss north korea's latest missile launch within the next two days. it comes just hours after the us military confirmed a missile was launched near the north western city of kusong and landed in the sea ofjapan. america's ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, gave this assessment of why she thought the north korean leader kim jong un was acting as he does. he is in the state of paranoia, he

is concerned about everything around him andi is concerned about everything around him and i think this was a message to south korea, after the election and what we are going to do is continue to tighten the screws. he absolutely feels it. having a missile test is not the wake to sit down with the president because he is absolutely not going to do it and ican is absolutely not going to do it and i can tell you, he can say all the conditions he once, until he meets oui’ conditions he once, until he meets our conditions, we are not sitting down with them. i spoke earlier to mark fitzpatrick, executive director of the international institute for stategic studies he explained more about the latest nuclear test. this appears to be the longest range missile that north korea has successfully tested to date. the range would be about a500 kilometres, if it was straight and not in the trajectory. that is about

1500 kilometres longer than anything north korea has tested to date and brings it closer to having an intercontinental ballistic missile range. how close is closer? they still would need to add more oomph to the missile, to reach the united states. they would need a range of 8000. there is considerable more to 90, 8000. there is considerable more to go, probably at least a couple more yea rs of go, probably at least a couple more years of development, but the pace of north korea's missile testing has been so rapid and the progress so great in the last couple of years, that it great in the last couple of years, thatitis great in the last couple of years, that it is unclear that they will be stopped before they can reach the united states. mark fitzpatrick there. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come... 0thers others for the arabian president is the former president calls on millions to vote for him. —— a boost
