more computers are likely to be affected tomorrow by the cyber attack that hit many parts of the nhs, as the working week begins and people return to their desks. the ransomware attack is now known to have had 200,000 victims around the world, with europe's law enforcement agency saying new versions are being released and an international manhunt underway for those responsible. with some nhs trusts still affected, we'll hear from our health editor in a moment but first our security correspondent, gordon corera. but first our security a cyber attack that spread like wildfire around the world and may not yet be over.
10:02 pm
like wildfire around the world it was launched on friday by hackers whose identity is still unknown and what's been seen so far has already been extraordinary, say law enforcement. already been extraordinary, we've never seen anything like this unprecedented scale, the latest numbers we are seeing, over 200,000 victims in over 150 countries but clearly a global phenomenon. this is what victims have been confronted with, they've been locked out of their computer and they will have to pay a ransom to get back in. in britain the nhs teams have been the main victim. in russia the interior ministry was hit. in france a car plant had to stop production and in germany train arrivals and departure boards were hacked leading to a return of chalk and blackboards. were hacked leading to a return this map, created were hacked leading to a return by a researcher who's this map, created by a researcher who's tracked the virus, shows the spread of infection. what all those
10:03 pm
affected had in common was their computers had not been upgrated to eliminate this danger. in america the fbi and nsa are trying to find those responsible. here britain's cyber security centre, part of gchq, says it has not seen a new wave of attacks strike the uk since friday, but when people turn on their computers tomorrow, the fear is, we could see problems on a significant scale because of malicious software which has already spread. what's likely to happen tomorrow is that organisations that didn't know they we re organisations that didn't know they were affected on friday, may find that out tomorrow and organisations that out tomorrow and organisations that were affected on friday and over the weekend, might find so some of the problems have spread. that's not to say that the attacks are new. it's a repercussion of what happened on friday. this is what the first computer looked like. colossus, built and bletchley park to break german codes. since then computers have become almost infinitely more powerful but we've also become much more dependent on them. that means
10:04 pm
the struggle between those seeking to protect systems and those seeking to protect systems and those seeking to exploit or undermine them, matters more than ever. the risks of insecure computer systems have been known about for decades. but it is only in the last few days, with the extraordinary global spread of this new virus, that people are realising what that actually means for all of us. out of the original 47 health trusts in england affected by the cyber—attack, seven are still experiencing problems restoring their it systems — as are 11 scottish health boards. in some cases, ambulances have been diverted to other hospitals and patients are being warned that there may be disruption to appointments tomorrow. that there may be disruption here's our health editor, hugh pym. that there may be disruption it was the biggest—ever attack on health service it networks. today staff at those hospitals caught up in the disruption were doing their best to get them up and running, using paper where they had to.
10:05 pm
questions are being asked about whether nhs it security was adequate. some trusts are still using an outdated and unprotecting operating system, windows xp. ministers said there had been investment. we are spending around £50 million on the nhs cyber systems to improve their security. we have encouraged the nhs trusts to reduce their exposure to the weakest system, the windows xp. 0nly their exposure to the weakest system, the windows xp. only 5%, less tha n system, the windows xp. only 5%, less than 5% of the trusts actually use that system any more. york hospital's computers were affected but managers say they weren't using the old system and they had invested in security patches to protect against viruses we are almost applying patches based on best advice on a weekly basis, supplied by our providers. we are working with the biggest brains in the industry. we run a large system. we ta ke industry. we run a large system. we take our responsibilities really seriously. labour has written to the
10:06 pm
health secretary, jeremy hunt, calling for a detailed explanation and today the party went on the attack. the government's handling of this crisis has been chaotic. we have long warned that the government's attitude to cyber security in the nhs was complacent. they have cut the infrastructure budget so that the nhs couldn't put the money it needed into securing its it systems and i'm afraid now the chickens are coming home to roost. labour says if elected it'll invest billions of pounds in the nhs to up—grade i t systems and modern ieds hospitals and other buildings. england's trust which includes the royal london hospital was one of those hit by the impact of the atoo, the it systems are still not running normally. managers say a certain number of appointments and routine operations will go ahead tomorrow. nhs england had this advice for patients: it may be a little bit slower when you get there because the hospitals are using different systems, so please be patient. the
10:07 pm
basic message is — if you have an appointment, you should attend. but some ambulances are still being diverted. for some hospitals, this unprecedented disruption is not over yet. hugh is with me now. yet. after a weekend like this, what is the advice for those who have an appointment tomorrow at one of the affected trusts? nchts well the sfris nhs leaders in at one of the affected trusts? england nchts well the sfris nhs leaders in england and scotland is, if you have an appointment tomorrow or planned surgery an appointment tomorrow or planned surgery and haven't heard to the contrary go along. those worst—affected a re contrary go along. those worst—affected are still saying — go along, we think he can go ahead with your appointment. they have managed to sort things out with back—up records. slightly confusingly at least one hospital has put out a message in its area saying — go online and check or phone, which might cause confusion. then you have the gp practices caught up in all this. their systems were shut down on friday. what will happen when
10:08 pm
they try to open them up tomorrow morning? they are saying come along to your apolybut at least one practice has told patients — we won't be —— —— to your appointment but at least one practice has told patients we might not be able to get hold of your records. there there was a backlog of procedures cancelled on friday and i think the whole affect of this may be felt for a little while to come. thank you. emmanuel macron was sworn in today as france's youngest president, promising in his inaugural address to restore his country's global standing. to restore his country's he said france has to find answers to the great crises of the time, including migration, terrorism and climate change. 0ur europe correspondent, damian grammaticas, was watching. not since france had an emperor 200 years ago, as it had a leader this young. an emperor 200 years ago,
10:09 pm
just 39 years old and inaugurated president today. emmanuel macron — he's got here thanks to self—confidence and some political good fortune. here thanks to self—confidence the disillusion that has fuelled populism elsewhere, has led france to back a newcomer but from the liberal centre. he only formed his political movement last year. his predecessor, francois hollande, leaves office as france's most unpopular leader of modern time but the task in front of mr macron is huge, if he's to bring about the renaissance he's pledged. translation: all labour laws will be liberalised, companies will be supported. will be liberalised, innovation and creativity will be at the heart of my programme. the french feel left behind by globalisation
10:10 pm
and will be better protected. behind by globalisation to achieve all that, mr macron needs a majority in parliament, but his new party has no mps and elections are in four weeks' time. and elections are in 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. have promised reform he will need more than youthful optimism and energy to succeed. what he hopes is that by reinvigorating france, he can make it a force once again at the heart of the eu. translation: president macron will relaunch the eu along with madame merkel. relaunch the eu along if the british were still members, they would be part of this, but we will do this without them. they would be part of this, it will be on the basis that countries who want to co—operate further, will. that countries who want for france and europe, much rests on some very young shoulders.
10:11 pm
labour has defended its promise to raise billions of pounds for public services with a new tax on financial transactions if it wins the election. on financial transactions under plans for a so—called robin hood tax, stamp duty currently paid on the sale of shares would be extended to cover other types of trading in the city of london. extended to cover other types the conservatives are promising to build a "new generation" of social housing in england if they win onjune 8th but admitted there's no new funding for the plan. the party says it expects thousands of homes to be built each year over the course of the next parliament, paid for from the {1.4 billion already set aside for infrastructure. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has admitted that literacy and numeracy have got worse in scottish schools. a survey last week showed less than half of 13 and 14—year—old pupils were performing
10:12 pm
well in writing. ms sturgeon told the andrew marr show that action is being taken to address the issues. show that action is being taken we have identified a particular issue with literacy and numeracy and we're also determined to accelerate the progress in closing the attainment gap. to accelerate the progress we have a massive programme of reform underway right now to do that. of reform underway the royal college of nursing is warning of a "summer of protests" unless the government drops its 1% cap on pay for nurses. it says the cap has caused a significant real—terms pay cut for nurses. a significant real—terms the bank of england governor, mark carney, has said that households will be squeezed as wages fail to keep up with rising prices. as part of our reality check series on key issues in the run—up to the election, tonight steph mcgovern examines what has happened to pay. tonight steph mcgovern examines whether you think the politicians
10:13 pm
are spinning you a yarn or not, the key issues being debated are really important to lots of people, not least how much we are being paid. if you look back over the last decade, average wages in real terms have been falling. decade, average wages in real in other words, the cost of living has been going up faster than pay and that means we have been facing a pay cut. even though we have seen wages start to go up over the last few years, there is a lot of catching up to do. to go up over the last few years, before the financial crisis, average weekly earnings when you take into account inflation, were £476, now they are down to £467. inflation, were £476, now they by their very nature, these figures are averages, so therefore they vary depending on what you do and where you live but look at this map because it shows the regional differences in terms of how much people are earning. the darker areas being where people on average are earning more. paul has been doing research on this. explain why there are
10:14 pm
these differences. if you look at the pattern of investments across the country. the darker areas are tending to attract more high skilljobs, it, smartphone app development, cinema special effects. high—paid type jobs. cinema special effects. further north, the lighter areas tend to be jobs like call centres, low skilled manufacturing and cheaper places to do business too. and cheaper places this leads to different types of investment and different types ofjobs and different wages as a result. i'm going to leave you now. as a result. while pay has suffered, employment has actually risen and there is more people in work than ever before. but people are working much more flexibly now and one of the controversial areas is zero hours contracts and this is where you have definitely got a job but you're just not guaranteed any hours which can of course put pressure on people's pay and on living standards. pressure on people's pay dan, this something
10:15 pm
you have been looking at. the pay squeeze that we are set to experience this year is coming on the back of really significant falls in real wages that we saw in the wake of the financial crisis. falls in real wages that we saw so taken together that means that sadly this decade looks like it will be the worst on record for rising pay packets in 200 years. people feeling the squeeze. for rising pay packets in 200 years. dan, thank you very much. for rising pay packets in 200 years. so why can't employers pay people more money? we have andy who is a local businessman, also from the mid—yorkshire chambers of commerce. businessman, also from the andy, why can't you pay people more? businessman, also from the in truth we would like to pay more. businessman, also from the it is about sustainability. businessman, also from the if we pay too much, then clearly our costs will be too much and we will become unattractive to our customers. we have to get the balance right. to our customers. that's what buisnesses think.
10:16 pm
to our customers. thanks very much, andy. to our customers. but what does everyone else out there think about their pay at the moment? else out there think i do think it is really important that people are rewarded fairly for what they do and what they contribute and also that they have got enough to live on, because things are hard for people. got enough to live on, it would be easier if they weren't paying people at the top so much. then they would have money to pay people more wages and expand the business enough to be able to take on extra people. it isjust striking a balance of something that i can live off as well as have some money to put on the side with having a good job as well. on the side with having i can't be working five jobs a day just to make a living wage. at the moment, inflation and wage increases are following a similar pattern but if you're working in the public sector, you will be feeling the squeeze even more. in the public sector, you will be
10:17 pm
0bviously tax and benefits play a part in people's income, too. it looks bleak now but the bank of england forecast that by next year, pay packets should start to pick up again. steph mcgovern, bbc news, huddersfield. with all the sport, here's katherine downes at the bbc sport centre. here's katherine downes lewis hamilton has won the spanish grand prix. edged out at the start, he fought back to overtake sebastian vettel, who now has just a six point lead over hamilton in the drivers‘ championship. over hamilton in the joe lynskey was watching. over hamilton in the in this board, brilliance comes through bravery. brilliance comes through hamilton's came with a launch for the front. match of the day 2 follows later on bbc one, so if you don't want today's premier league news, it's time to avert your attention. hull city have been relegated from the premier league after a day of contrasting emotions at selhurst park. a 4—0 thrashing at the hands
10:18 pm
of crystal palace means hulljoin middlesbrough and sunderland in the championship next season. but the result guaranteed that palace will remain in the top flight. it was 4—0 between liverpool and west ham, too. the win moves liverpool back up to third and a step closer to finishing in the champions league places. tottenham ended their 118 years at white hart lane on a high. they beat manchester united 2—1 to round off an unbeaten season at their home stadium. they'll play at wembley while their new ground is built. british hopes of winning the giro d'italia could well be over after a dramatic crash on today's stage. geraint thomas and adam yates were in second and third overall but they were caught up in this collision with a police motorbike at the side of the road. they're now more than five minutes behind the race leader. and double olympic champion nick skelton and his horse, big star, both retired from showjumping today. the pair won individual gold in rio to add to skelton‘s team gold from the london games in 2012. is there a new kind of politics
10:19 pm
emerging. the vote to leave the eu cut across the political lives and elsewhere established parties are facing challenges. in the first of a series on the changing face of uk politics, are home editor has been to liverpool and sunderland to examine the old left right divide. sunderland used to be shipbuilder to the world. a new vessel slipped into the world. a new vessel slipped into the water every nine days at one time, but the globalisation that created this proud city is still seen created this proud city is still seen by many locals as a threat. they are selling us down the river. i'm passionate about sunderland. the welcome tarver and would once have been packed with merchants and sailors buying beer with the profits of international trade but now custom comes from the struggling
10:20 pm
neighbourhood just beyond its door. 0n the river, you would see nothing but ships. fishing boats, there was that many. gone. nothing. we have to start thinking about ourselves more. this part of the country is being left behind. forgotten about.|j this part of the country is being left behind. forgotten about. i am not a european, left behind. forgotten about. i am nota european, i left behind. forgotten about. i am not a european, i never will be. i wa nt to not a european, i never will be. i want to be her proud englishman. you have got to protect your identity. you feel that is under threat by globalisation? throughout the world, we have seen the likes of trump, and we have seen the likes of trump, and we have seen in france, there is a movement that is moving away. traditional politics is taking a battering, from the viewers of the welcome end to brexit, trump, the new french president, party allegiances are breaking down. it is
10:21 pm
no longer about left or right, so much as globalism versus nationalism. many people in the city feel that sunderland is losing its foothold in the world. that its destiny is decided beyond reach. in westminster, brussels or a boardroom in yokohama. i feel as if everything is much further away from us. the world is a bigger world, because of the internet and all the modern technology. you had the shipbuilding communities, there were all these big communities that would pull together because everyone knew each other. the unions are huge thing but now they are fragmented and they do not have the power. we have no power. like the people of wearside, voters on merseyside have backed labourfor generations, but labour for generations, but the outlook here is different. in this
10:22 pm
pa rt outlook here is different. in this part of liverpool, they do not see globalisation as a threat, but an opportunity. the huge cargo ships, busy loading and unloading at the port are a reminder of the days when the city was richer than london. prosperity built on immigration and international trade was central to liverpool ‘s story. unlike labour, sunderland were most people voted to leave the eu, a majority in liverpool voted to remain. tell me about this beer. it is not left—wing or right wing, it is about given the people of voice. it has been categorised, it is read, it is blue, it is yellow, it is purple, whatever now, but it is broken up now, there are no categories any more. liverpool is a defiant, resilient city and from grassroots, as new
10:23 pm
pro—globalisation movement has started to bubble up. we are all global people in the city. we are all daughters of the city, daughters of immigrants, sons of immigrants. all daughters of the city, daughters of immigrants, sons of immigrantslj of immigrants, sons of immigrants.” am proud of being british. i served by country in uniform. i do feel that this is another world as well. there are different outlooks in liverpool and in sunderland of course, but the political undercurrents course, but the political undercurre nts are course, but the political undercurrents are shifting as a new politics starts to emerge. stars of the small screen have been gathering on london's south bank for the annual british academy television awards. actressjoanna lumley was honoured with the bafta fellowship award in recognition of her work in film and tv over the last four decades. 0ur entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, reports. 0n the red carpet, many of tv ‘s best—known faces, for a ceremony potentially more significant than many before it. five years ago, programmes online only channels

10:26 pm
evening is looking clear across most of the uk but by the time we get to around midnight, we will start to see some of that rain bearing cloud approach our shores. this is what it looks like over the coming hours, clear skies across the extreme east of the country and then early hours of monday morning, it starts to turn wet across the south west of england, wales, just around the irish sea, northern ireland and scotland. across the hills, the rain will be heavy, particularly the south west of scotland, wet morning here and the rain pushing through northern ireland as well. in the north—west of england, wales as well, plenty of rain in the south west and central and southern england as well. this is eight o'clock in the morning and you can see that it is not raining, not quite bringing in kent and sussex and east anglia and into ligature and east anglia and into ligature and parts of yorkshire, but eventually, second—half of the morning into the afternoon, most of the uk is involved with black cloud and it is going to be quite a tampon. the rain is not gone to be
10:27 pm
falling all day long, it will wax and brain, there will be sunshine and brain, there will be sunshine and is quite warm despite the rain and cloud. if here is a weather front, another one crossing the uk and ahead of this, if the clouds break up, with the wind coming out, it could potentially be very warm, we are expecting averages of 22 and maybe 2a degrees, but it is not the case for most of the uk, we are mostly thinking
