as its star takes the lead actress award and it claims best drama. good evening and welcome to bbc news. 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 under way 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. a cyber attack that spread like wildfire around the world
11:02 pm
and may not yet be over. 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. 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. this map, created by a researcher who's tracked the virus, shows the spread of infection. what all those affected had in common was their computers had not been upgrated to
11:03 pm
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 were affected on friday, may find 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
11:04 pm
but we've also become much more dependent on them. that means the struggle between 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. here's our health editor hugh pym it was the biggest—ever attack on health service it networks. today staff at those hospitals caught up in the disruption
11:05 pm
were doing their best to get them up and running, using paper where they had to. 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. 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.
11:06 pm
we run a large system. we take our responsibilities really seriously. labour has written to the 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 it 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
11:07 pm
slower when you get there because the hospitals are using different systems, so please be patient. the 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. emmanuel macron was sworn in today as france's youngest president promising in his inaugural address to restore his country's global standing. 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. just 39 years old and inaugurated president today. emmanuel macron — he's got here thanks to self—confidence
11:08 pm
and some political good fortune. 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. 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 all that, mr macron needs a majority in parliament, but his new party has
11:09 pm
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 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. if the british were still members, they would be part of this, but we will do this without them. it will be on the basis that countries who want to co—operate further, will. for france and europe, much rests on some very young shoulders german chancellor angela merkel‘s
11:10 pm
christian democrats party have unseated their key elections rivals, the social democrats in local elections in germany's most populous state. exit polls for the north rhine—westphalia show mrs merkel‘s party with a projected share of 34.5% of the vote, ahead of the social democrats on 30.5%. the vote was seen as a test for the german chancellor, who faces a general election in september. earlier i spoke to our correspondent in berlin, damien mcguinness and he explained to me what these election results could mean for angela merkel and her christian democratic party. i think we have to remember it is primarily regional policies in regional elections that policing, hospitals, transport. those are controlled and run by regional governments so regional governments are incredibly important but this
11:11 pm
particular state does have an impact nationally and on the national elections in or months and in that sense on mrs merkel‘s chances of staying chancellor in september will not that is because this region is an spd centre stronghold. martin schulz, the leader of the centre left, was banking of hanging this state and getting a solid left—wing majority in these state. he said that explicitly. that has not happened. it has been a real blow for mrs merkel‘s rival to the chancery inn september. this is a real blow for the spd centre rival but also a clear statement of confidence for mrs merkel because the really strengthens her centre—right party and it means is
11:12 pm
we start the run—up to the elections in september is making her look stronger than ever. the polls are looking good, she seems a safe pair of hands and so far there is really no one to beat her record the main rival is now looking severely weaken by today's regional election results. —— weakened. 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. 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. the conservatives are promising to build a "new generation" of social housing in england if they win onjune the 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 forfrom the 1.4 billion pounds 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 thirteen and fourteen year old pupils were performing well in writing. ms sturgeon told the andrew marr show that action is being taken to address the issues. we have identified a particular issue with literacy and numeracy and we're also determined to accelerate the progress in closing the attainment gap. we have a massive programme of reform underway right now to do that. stars of the small screen gathered this evening in london for the annual bafta television awards. among those honoured wasjoanna lumley, awarded the bafta fellowship in recognition of her work over four decades. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba was there. his report contains flash photography. 0n the red carpet, many of it. v's best—known faces for a ceremony, potentially more significant than many before it. --tv

five years ago programmes on online—only channels couldn't be entered. this year, after a series of rule changes, they are not only eligible but streaming service net flix's royal drama the crown is leading the nominations. 0n the night the royal drama went home empty hand and in a more traditionally—feeling result the bbc dominated, winning more than three—quarters of the awards, including two baftas for... happy valley. i thought i got through to him and he was stepping down. the yorkshire set crime drama won best series and west actress the yorkshire set crime drama won best series and best actress for sarah lancashire. clare foy, you have given me the best ten hours under a duvet, that i have ever had. the drama, damilola, 0ur loved boy also won two baftas, including best supporting actress for phoebe waller—bridge. i pray forjustice for damn damn.
11:15 pm
and a couple of awards for plan the earth's snakes verses iguana chase. the mini series award went to channel 4's national treasure about a comedian accused of historic crimes. the bbc news won the award and joanna lumley received a standing ovation after she was received with bafta's highest accolade, the fellowship and later tonight we'll have a special programme featuring the highlights of the 2017 bafta ceremony. that's at half past midnight here on bbc news. the headlines at 11:15pm: the head of europol warns that more computers could be affected by the unprecedented global cyber attack as the working week begins. seven nhs trusts in england, and 11 boards in scotland
11:16 pm
are still affected — with patients told to go told otherwise. the new president of france, emmanuel macron, promises to restore confidence in france's future as he takes office. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh. hello. good evening, martine. a disappointing result for hull city. they will join middlesbrough and sunderland in the championship next season after they were relegated from the premier league. they lost 4—0 to crystal palace at selhurst park. hull began the day four points behind both crystal palace and swansea and knew it was win or bust. palace needed just a draw to survive. but a win for them keeps them up while hull head back to the championship at the first time of asking. it is sad for our fans, of course, for the boys and for the club. it is
11:17 pm
not a good moment for the club. it is hard to understand why this happened. the club has had many problems this season. of course, today... we played one final and it started in a bad way. we gave them what they wanted for the match. there is no doubt that the new players arriving in january made a massive effort and a massive different as well. that little bit lazier. to me, it is the hardest one have done because the last eight and named games, to come out and having done so well, had reversed his work,
11:18 pm
it shows that big a task it was price. —— eight or nine. —— a massive difference. it was an emotional day for tottenham as they said goodbye after 118 years to their white hart lane stadium. they beat manchester united 2—1 in the last game there before it is demolished and rebuilt. the fans streamed onto the pitch at the final whistle, with the victory confirming 2nd place in the premier league. victor wanyama and harry kane scored to ensure spurs remain unbeaten at home this season. they'll play their matches at wembley next year before returning to a brand new 61,000—seat stadium in time for the 2018—19 season. we will miss a lot, because white hart lane is special. but at the same time, we will come to the new stadium, we need to move on. i think will be very happy in one year's time playing in the new white hart lane. you speak of the celebrations, even to take anything from the ground tonight as a memento? not as
11:19 pm
a memento, butjust to see what we can take and keep in our house. liverpool have given their hopes of qualifying for the champions league a huge boost. philippe coutinho was the star of the show, setting up a goal for daniel sturridge and scoring two himself. the win means liverpool go third in the table, victory against middlesbrough on the final weekend will guarantee the reds a place in the champions league next season. daniel sturridge, and have to say, he has been trading well. not long, but what a player he is. all these performances with a 50% chance, i think that the 2—0 was a knock for west ham, and we kept on going. so it was good football. we could have scored more. britain's lewis hamilton has moved to within six points of championship leader sebastian vettel
11:20 pm
after victory in formula 1's spanish grand prix. hamilton, who had started on pole, lost the lead to vettel at the start of the race, but after taking a tactical pit stop, the briton regained it from the ferrari driver in the closing stages of a thrilling race. vettel finished second with red bulls' daniel riccardo in third in barcelona. rafa nadal‘s impressive record on clay this season continues after he beat austria's dominic thiem 7—6, 6—4 to win the madrid masters for the fifth time. the king of clay claims his 15th successive victory on the surface this season and a third clay court title of the year. victory also moves him above roger federer to fourth in the world rankings. ian poulter is two shots off the lead in the closing stages of the final round of the players championship at sawgrass. he's chasing his first victory on the tour in five years and did have a share of the lead at one point alongside kim si—woo.
11:21 pm
in blustery conditions, the south korean has fared better though and currently has the outright lead. poulter is on eight under par through 15, missing the chance there to birdie. warrington are through to the quarter—finals of rugby league's challenge cup after a hard—fought 34—20 victory over local rivals widnes. a hat trick from kevin brown against his former club kept warrington ahead for much of the game. before late tries, including this one from chris hill, made the game safe in the closing minutes. elsewhere there were wins for wigan and leeds. and that, martine, is all the sports an hour. thank you for that, hugh. —— sports for now. the royal college of nursing is warning of a "summer of protests" unless the government drops its 1% on pay for nurses. it says the cap has caused a significant real—terms pay cut for nurses — the bank
11:22 pm
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 runup to the election, tonight steph mcgovern examines what's happened to pay. whether you think the politicians 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. 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. before the financial crisis, average weekly earnings, when you take into account inflation, were £476, now they are down to £1167. 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.
11:23 pm
explain why there are 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. further north, the lighter areas tend to be jobs like call centres, low skilled manufacturing and cheaper places to do business too. this leads to different types of investment and different types ofjobs and different wages as a result. i'm going to leave you now. 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. dan, this something 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
11:24 pm
in the wake of the financial crisis. 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. dan, thank you very much. 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. andy, why can't you pay people more? in truth we would like to pay more. it is about sustainability. 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. that's what buisnesses think. thanks very much, andy. but what does everyone else out there think about their pay at the moment? 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. 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
11:25 pm
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. 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. 0bviously tax and benefits play a part in people's income, too. that by next year, pay packets should start to pick up again. steph mcgovern, bbc news, huddersfield. a british veteran of the second world war has become the world's oldest skydiver. verdun hayes, who's 101 years old, completed a parachute jump from 15,000 feet. richard galpin reports. dressed in a yellowjumpsuit, burdon hayes, prepares to make history. he

11:28 pm
ican do i can do about the clouds, but i don't want to jump through them. we have a lot of cloud on the way for monday. bilby rain around as well. so different picture on the way compare to what we had this weekend. the weekend was not bad apart from a few showers. this is what is happening now. loud piling in. —— a little bit of rain around. this is going from quite south, so this is where warm air is coming from. it will be raining, but not cold. through the early hours of monday morning, we get rain into the south—west, wales, moving through northern ireland. it is an area stay dry or through the night, pretty much. certainly all the way up to hull and eastern parts of scotland. at this stage, you can see rain in belfast, south—west and central parts of scotland. the lake district. throughout wales, and down into the south—western sundre will —— south—western and central parts of england. almost as that of the
11:29 pm
hills. so that means that most towns will only have light rain run—off and heavy at times, but not too much. through the afternoon, the coating does the uk. the least amount of rain we suspect will fall across the extreme south—east coming here. the lot of all in london. 17 degrees, though, which is decent. 16 01’ degrees, though, which is decent. 16 or 17 across north—western parts of the country. more weather coming to a tuesday. so a damp start to the week. here is choose a's weather front moving through. some rain across northern areas down to the south—west. ahead of that, the areas coming of france. —— tuesday's weather front. for most of us, this will be fresh atlantic air, it those yellows signifying 17 or 18 degrees. andrew tye macris and south—east, it could be heavy. it may mist us and move to the east. further north and
11:30 pm
west, the weather will be brighter. and then towards the end of the week, it looks as though we will see cooler air coming week, it looks as though we will see cooleraircoming in week, it looks as though we will see cooler air coming in from the atlantic. that will mean that things will freshen up and we will see some sunshine and also some showers. that it.
