countries, something that is going to be very important for people who are unemployed in germany and perhaps even more importantly in france. secondly, we agreed that our bilateral cooperation will have to be further developed. we are going to connect with points in the past but we want to increase the dynamics and that's the reason why injuly we wa nt to and that's the reason why injuly we want to conduct another german— french council of ministers in order to present a number of projects that should give a new push to our relationship. we have also agreed that in the midterm of the european union, we want to work out a timetable, a road map, if you like, so timetable, a road map, if you like, so projects that cannot develop overnight but we have a joint conviction that we are not only going to deal with the british exit

from the european union but we also need to deepen the european union, the cooperation within the eurozone and we need to promote cooperation, for example, issues like a tax system harmonisation, that can also bea system harmonisation, that can also be a part of our discussions. co—operation in defence. we are going to intensify our talks there as well. there should be a more coherent european defence and politics and france and germany will bea politics and france and germany will be a compliment in this thrust and i also support all efforts to somehow decrease bureaucracy. sometimes we are too cumbersome, sometimes we are too slow, and, hence, not to agile. soa

too slow, and, hence, not to agile. so a very warm welcome here in berlin and for my part i can only say that i look forward to a very good cooperation and i look forward to our good results for the citizens in our countries. thank you very much. thank you, madam chancellor, ladies and gentlemen, on my side, i am very happy after the handing over of power is to be here with you in berlin and to have this first exchange on our future policies. you reminded people that i was elected oi'i reminded people that i was elected on the 7th of may. for a project that was clearly european, defending europe, the european project, and following the franco german project, not one of the male but of trust which is the condition of

progressing for. —— not one of blackmail. i haven't forgotten the angerof blackmail. i haven't forgotten the anger of the french people that expressed itself on the 7th of may. which reminded us, all others, there are also reforms that need to be made, more effectiveness, and protection with regards to certain troubles that have affected the people and the world. and sol troubles that have affected the people and the world. and so i am here today and happy to represent france but with a heavy burden, a heavy task. my first task, i reminded madam chancellor is to put in place the reforms that france needs. so the agenda will be one of reform over the next few months, social, economic, educational, as i stated during the campaign, not because europe requested it but

because europe requested it but because france needs it. france is the only big country in the european union which over the last 30 years has not been able to avoid mass unemployment. and that is what my government will do, which i will talk about tomorrow and then there will be parliamentary elections, as you stated, but it is with that spirit and i will ask the prime minister to conduct the government's policy. then there is the need to have a europe that is less bureaucratic and which protects. with that in mind, we had our exchanges and you've talked about several projects in the short term which we can discuss closely. rights of asylum, outsourcing ofjobs, within the eu, these are all subjects which will have an impact oi'i subjects which will have an impact on the daily lives of our citizens

and companies over which we need more pragmatism and more european realism. less bureaucracy and a europe that protects more our citizens. other projects, the plans will continue to talk about them. our bilateral relationships with regards to tax by metrics, of convergence , regards to tax by metrics, of convergence, and on regards to tax by metrics, of convergence, and on the educational level with regard to external defence and security and these are subjects we will continue to talk about over the coming weeks and i'm happy that we shall have a limited committee, which i will talk about between our respective governments. finally, i'm also happy that together with our respective teams,

we'll be able to work for projects over the medium term and have a common road map for the european union and the eurozone. these are very important subjects as we've seen over the last few years. and you yourself as chancellor has managed these projects. they have le nt managed these projects. they have lent —— they have an impact on our citizens and in—depth discussions are required and requirejoint action. my desire is over the coming weeks we can contribute and have a franco german road map which will allow us to accept more widely and progress over the next few years over these subjects our relationship. it needs for trust. it needs to have practical results and the franco german couple, i believe, needs to restate more pragmatism and

volu nta ry needs to restate more pragmatism and voluntary behaviour. it is with this in mind that we will work together and on my side i will always be an honest, direct, and constructive partner because i believe that the success of our partner because i believe that the success of our two partner because i believe that the success of our two countries is very closely related. the manual macron and angela merkel speaking in berlin earlier today. in the past few minutes, the home secretary, amber rudd, has been giving an update on the continuing impact, of last week's global cyber attack. she's been chairing a meeting of the government's emergency committee cobra. i've just chaired cobra i'vejust chaired cobra in order to find out what the situation is now and to make sure we have a truly cross government response. the nhs had a strong response, they were prepared, they were resilient for this sort of operation. we are grateful for staff who came in to

make sure that patients could come in today and more than a million patients were served today. all surgeries were open and the vast majority of patients didn't notice any difference. the truth is, the nhs wasn't prepared. there were specific warnings about the vulnerability of the service. why did you ignore these warnings? nobody ignored warnings. we put £50 million aside for cyber security of the nhs and the trust made a lot of good preparations just the nhs and the trust made a lot of good preparationsjust in the nhs and the trust made a lot of good preparations just in case. the reason so many patients were u naffected reason so many patients were unaffected is because they were ready for this and staff came in over the weekend to make sure patients were unaffected. capital budgets were raided for day—to—day spending which reduced the capacity of trusts to protect themselves and it equipment. this isn'tjust about

the nhs and it indicates that it might notjust the nhs and it indicates that it might not just the the nhs and it indicates that it might notjust the about the nhs and it indicates that it might not just the about the the nhs and it indicates that it might notjust the about the type of equipment. this is an international attack that has affected some very sophisticated platforms. we have seenin sophisticated platforms. we have seen in the spain, manufacturing companies in spain and france. the real criminals here are the people who have begun this action and they are the people who should get the blame. in the uk it was the nhs who came under attack and 47 trust were affected and the huge number of patients. are you not going to apologise for the patients affected? today we have learned thatjust to trusts are still affected. that is thanks to good hard work in terms of preparation and mitigation done by the nhs. is there any suspicion that this attack was sponsored by some rogue state? the national crime

agency and the security department are working very hard to make sure that we find out exactly who it was. we have an international manhunt taking place. the national cyber security centre and the nci are working with europe and international partners to make sure we collect the right evidence that we collect the right evidence that we need to do to make sure we have the right material to find out who has done this and we go after them which we will. in terms of protecting the service in future, what guarantees can you give to the public about protecting the nhs? people will always want to attackers on the cyber platform. we will do all we can to mitigate that. it's about information and investment. that is why we have invested £i billion in a national cyber security centre. we need to make sure that we protect people and support them. why

we re protect people and support them. why were they using out dated software that couldn't be made secure? were they using out dated software that couldn't be made secure7m were they using out dated software that couldn't be made secure? it can be made secure but the nhs has particular vulnerabilities with their systems. they have been asked to move away from the xp platform. it is down to 5% of the platform. good progress has been made and mitigations have been put in place to make sure patients aren't effective because patients matter most. patients have been affected. you say 5% but it is still a large number using unprotected software. all patients who went to their gps today were seen. the action on patients has been inconvenient in some places but when you look at the response by our hospitals it has been a relic. —— it has been heroic.

let's get the weather now with the nick miller. still quite wet and cloudy with heavy bursts of rain coming back. this is how it looked earlier today in belfast. look at some of the rain totals. well over an inch of rain in places. london, not so much yet. it could be a soaking by the end of wednesday. low pressure in control. it has been high pressure for several weeks. looks very different compared to the weather of recent weeks. some outbreaks of rain across southern scotla nd outbreaks of rain across southern scotland and north west england into wales. with cloud, you may find a few showers and temperatures not going down very fast. a mild night

to come. many areas. the day drive. we have shower room rain set to move from west to east during the day. there will be a few brighter breaks making it feel warm. wales, some rain around, standing water, spray on the roads. some bursts of rain will cross parts of south west england and the midlands. for most which of east anglia and the south—east. a warm and muggy day. across scotland sunny skies coming back after initially in northern ireland. spreading away from the north east. quite a range of temperatures. a fresher feel by the end of the day. a cooler night to come on tuesday night. wednesday,

scotla nd come on tuesday night. wednesday, scotland and northern ireland sunshine and showers. for more southerly areas, expanding area of cloud. potentially by the end of wednesday pushing through into east anglia and south east england, some heavy bursts of thundery rain that could be disruptive. fresher air by thursday and friday with a mixture of sunshine and showers. thursday and friday, into the weekend, even for next week. welcome to 100 days. contenders for the fbi job were interviewed this weekend, democrats wonder if they we re weekend, democrats wonder if they were act independent of the president. the administration knows the comey firing was not handled well and they have to do better in future. could that lead to firing some of the top staff? companies and

governments scramble to upgrade softwa re governments scramble to upgrade software after 150 countries were hit by a cyberattack. france's new president gets to grips with the most powerful woman in europe, but will be chancellor warm to the emmanuel macron's plans for european reform? and emmanuel macron's plans for european reform ? and photos emmanuel macron's plans for european reform? and photos to mark what would have been president kennedies 100th birthday. has the firing of james comey put america's democratic institutions under threat. that was the view of a former top us intelligence official. but there was nothing illegal about the dismissal of mr comey. as mr

comey stated himself, i have long believed a president can fire an fbi director for believed a president can fire an fbi directorfor any reason, believed a president can fire an fbi director for any reason, or for believed a president can fire an fbi directorfor any reason, orfor no reason at all. that is certainly the view of the president's supporters, including the us ambassador to the un. the president can fire and hire whoever he wants. that is his right. whether you agree or not, it is the truth and he is trying to find his own team and were there better ways? that is for everyone to decide. america has a system of checks and balances. but fears were raised this weekend that those may not be enough. this was the intervention yesterday from the former director of national intelligence, james clapper. the developments of the week are disturbing to me. i think in many ways our institutions are under assault, both externally and

thatis under assault, both externally and that is the big news here, russian interference in our election system. and i think as well, our institutions are have problems internally. joining me is jane harman. do you agree with mr clapper's fears, or is he being alarmist? i agree with them. we have had plenty of note that is ransomware is had plenty of note that is ra nsomwa re is dangerous. had plenty of note that is ransomware is dangerous. we have poor cyberhygiene across the world and the business model is wrong. companies that are subject to this fay ransom. at this rate it is going to get worse. i want to ask you about the firing of the fbi chief

and that institutions could be under flett? -- threat. the election of donald trump reflect a lot of dissatisfaction with political leadership. the way the firing was handled, not his right to fire, it seems to mejust handled, not his right to fire, it seems to me just amplifies the mistrust and the polls show in america that a majority of people think it was handled wrong. the clip you played, our ambassador is right to say he is the ceo and he can hire and fire. but better timing and better preparation was really it seems to me required here. ijust add two things. president obama could have fired mr comey last summer. i thought his press conference last summer was quite extraordinary and out—of—bounds and two more times he behaved close to our election in an unprofessional way. but mr trump had every right to

fire him when he came into office that timing would have been better respect i think or accepted. a lot of people are talking about a special prosecutor, it would have to come from the department ofjustice. it is an executive power to name one, it is not something congress could do. how are the democrats going to keep up the pressure to get that special prosecutor? it is not clear that it will happen. but i thi democrats are right, to slow down the confirmation of whoever comes next. there is some good names in the mix. i know many of them. but what we need is an fbi director who is totally politically impartial. the predecessor to james comey is an example of what he need. he worked with comey. it is surprising, ten yea rs with comey. it is surprising, ten years ago, to refuse to sign an

order of the bush 43 white house which they thought exceeded legal bounds. somebody like that is the right model and as for special prosecutors, there is another way co ng ress prosecutors, there is another way congress can go, congress has the authority to enact a 9/11 type commission with subpoena power that could look into things. a couple of the people being suggested are republicans who serve on capitol hill from the senate and from the house. is that a good way to go, do you think for the president at the moment? well, i think it matters who they are. people with political experience might be good in the role. mike rogers no longer serves there, but he was chairman of the intelligence committee and he was a morejunior intelligence committee and he was a more junior member when tifs ranking democrat —— when i was the ranking democrat. i think this idea that has

been surfaced by senator mike lee on the far right of naming possibly the... his name is escaping me, but the... his name is escaping me, but the supreme court pick of the obama administration is interesting. that a p pa re ntly administration is interesting. that apparently has some support from mitch mcconnell the republican leader. a lot of good people, including women like fran townsend. what matter is will they be impartial? that requires a careful confirmation hearing by the senate. thank you. the republicans blocked thejudge didn't thank you. the republicans blocked the judge didn't they when he was the judge didn't they when he was the pick for president obama for the supreme court. you have been speaking to white house people over the weekend, do you think they understand where this went wrong last week? yes, i was surprised at how candid they are about how this

has been a rough week for them and how they handled it badly. at one point the white house official i was talking to said there is a review of the staff and the president will look at who is performing and who is not. that suggests we could be in for a shake—up. but the striking thing was how they said, we can't use the execution the —— excuse the decision was made fast to say we couldn't have handled it better. there should have been better co—ordination and the official said, if north korea attacks, they will attack fast as well. they're not blaming the communications, they're blaming the communications, they're blaming the communications, they're blaming the people who took the decision? well, both. ithink blaming the people who took the decision? well, both. i think there has been a lack of co—ordination is how it was put to me and this review is under way. because i think that is under way. because i think that is the key for the administration, one thing they said, we were not

brought in to be politicians, we are new to this and that is what their supporters asked for, people who are not old hands at the game. it will be interesting to see trump 2.0. and i'm joined by a guest who can talk about this. we have the prospect of about this. we have the prospect of a big shake—up, are you hearing the same things i'm hear something yes, in fact what i have heard that is many surrogates are appearing for mr trump on television are getting calls, saying are you interesting in joining, because the team we have isn't getting the job done for the president. how senior are the figures who could be asked to think about getting otherjobs. mr spicer might be looking for a new line of twoshg. —— line of work. but the

people one level beneath that, the deputies, the people writing the press releases and the talking points for officials are not getting the job done and i think the president is being ill—served. the job done and i think the president is being ill-served. how much of this is about the president's own insecurities, he was mad about the leaks, he thinks his intelligence chiefs are undermining and he has a map apparently trying to convince people he won the election. how much is it about him and him getting on with it and instead of his staff? it is always about the president. i can tell you have been worked for one, you take your tone by the measure of the commander in chief. we felt confident with president bush and the example he gave us. my friends

who the white house are troubled that mrtrump who the white house are troubled that mr trump seems to continue to relitigate the election, as opposed to continue to do the business of the people. it is wearing on people and people who comment say, is the president doing his job and people who comment say, is the president doing hisjob at home and abroad. if he finds a bunch of staffers he has to replace them with people, people like you. i'm glad you're still with us, but if knocked on your door, would you be tempted? he loves being with us. of course he wouldn't be tempted. he loves being with us. of course he wouldn't be temptedlj he loves being with us. of course he wouldn't be tempted. i love being a bbc analyst. don't worry.|j wouldn't be tempted. i love being a bbc analyst. don't worry. i think there is an issue here about whether there is an issue here about whether the president's temperament, this need to relitigate the election is getting in the way of his ability to getting in the way of his ability to get thisjob done. i think getting in the way of his ability to get this job done. i think that is the question that i have heard from

people inside and outside the administration. it has to be addressed. no question about it. this demonstrates he does not have people who he surrounds himself with who can say, mr president, no. we had karen hughes who has the ability to go into the oval office and say, mr president, that is a bad idea, you're tired, you're not doing what you're tired, you're not doing what you should be doing and the president listened. i think mr trump needs people who can come in and who know how to govern. it is not as much fun in the white house as in the studio. now that sieber attack. —— cyberattack. the global attack known as wannacry. microsoft warned the governments of the world should

treat the attack as a wake up call. they're critical of the way governments store information. with me is our security correspondent. some strong words from the microsoft president. this worm, this programme, it was there in the nsa files and if it is in the files, at some point it could get leaked. files and if it is in the files, at some point it could get leakedlj some point it could get leaked.” think what is surprising is the nsa didn't expect it to be get leaked. but that is a problem for them and their security wasn't good enough. perhaps a contractor got it out and it got to a group of hackers who tried to sell it and whoever created this took that and adapted it with another couple of bits of code, not sophisticated, but devious and now

microsoft are blaming msa. people are saying, microsoft, you built the system... and charged a lot for virus protection. people say, governments, shouldn't they protect institutions. how farm is it the —— far is the responsibility of institutions to close up the vulnerabilities. so there is a lot of blame to go around. i think this issue of whether the intelligence agencies have got the ambulance between offence and defence right is an issue. we have seen it in the la st an issue. we have seen it in the last couple of years since the snowden leaks and this will heighten the attention on that. it seems this time there was a serious impact in the uk. but there does seem to have been a bullet dodged and not very many people paid the ransom. what do

cyberofficial mean when they say it could be the beginning. two things worry them. one, is that this particular type of malicious software could reversioned and somebody could get around the fixes and does a similar attack and is harder to stop. i think there is a further problem that this is just exposed how much of our infrastructure is online. we knew that already. but how much of it is not properly patched and is vulnerable to not necessarily the most sophisticated attack. this israel not like the attack the us is alleged to have taken against iran. this is something very basic. if someone could do that, not necessary lay —— someone could do that, not necessary lay — — necessary lay someone could do that, not necessary lay —— necessary lay state, but have this impact, that is worrying,

because of what it tells us about the vulnerabilities. must run that virus—checker tonight. the vulnerabilities. must run that virus-checker tonight. please do. the us has accused the syrian government of installing a crematorium in a military prison to disposed of thousands of murdered prisoners. jane o'brien joins us, this comes from a junior staff person at the state department. how credible is it? well a lot of evidence they have cited could be described as circumstantial. they haven't said there is a crematorium there. they're saying that a number of intelligence reports and satellite imagery ta ken of intelligence reports and satellite imagery taken over several years show development, building development that would be in line with a crematorium. so they have seen things like air conditioning units being installed, a chimney,

heat extraction. and there was a patch of snow melt on the roof indicating there was heat coming from the building. thank you. two of the biggest economy inure, france and germany have an outsized influence on europe, but it has been quite a tricky relationship. perhaps today, markets the start of a new era. france's new president, emmanuel macron has travelled to berlin to meet the chancellor. on the surface this some broad agreement. translation: we have exchanged our views today and we have agreed that we are going to continue to work closely together.

translation: with our respective teams we will be able to work for projects eve the medium term and have a common road map for the european union and the eurozone. these are very important subjects as we have seen oversest “— these are very important subjects as we have seen oversest “ seen over the last few years. emmanuel macron has some ideas not popular in germany. let's talk to jenny has some ideas not popular in germany. let's talk tojenny hill in berlin. i guess some of the reforms won't go down well with the chancellor? exactly so. they have raised eyebrows here there has been talk about the so—called euro bonds. the electorate is unlikely to support the idea of german money going to sort out the debts of countries whose economies are performing less well. there were

always going to be differences. but i think obviously for the cameras too, but there was a real sense of warmth in the welcome that emmanuel macron received at the chancellor. unusually for such a meetings, there was a crowd outside singing and danc dancing. a friendly beginning. but as angela merkel commented, there is magic in every beginning. what you sense is despite talk of agreement on road maps for europe, there are a lot of differences to overcome. there have been over recent years through the eurozone crisis, because germany keeps its eyes on the bottom line and of course france have had a more liberal attitude to money and they would be happy to weaken the euro. they have got to get over that first? yes i think do things are now significant here. one of course

after the brexit decision, germany has lost the political ally that filled in for france once the two economies started to diverge so widely. so there is a feeling in berlin it would be good for germany to have france back on side. secondly, brexit has changed everything. there is a real feel or there has been a fear that the eu would start to crumble. if it is possible to revive that old historical french/german axis that underpins much of the european project, that is a way forward. so the meeting was significant, both leaders said that they're happy to look at treaty change in order to create the further integration. we are starting to see perhaps the beginning of the future of the eu without britain. thank you. i wanted

to remind you not of the future, but the past. you saw francois hollande being sworn into office. emmanuel macron has the sun shining on him. he is so lucky. yes he is with the weather. i remember the inauguration in 2012 and there was a moment francois hollande went up the street and went to the arch detree op of and went to the arch detree op of and he was wet through. he went to the airport to make the trip to berlin and his flight was hit by lightning and he had to land again at the airfield and pick another plane. but look... that was just the beginning. this is much warmer. what i want to pick out, look at this, so there is the handed on shoulder. i will give you one back. there is a one upmanship and then you go. look at this... one after the other. it

isa at this... one after the other. it is a sort of... one upmanship of the way leaders do it and what they must do with their hands. thought what, what does donald trump do? sometimes he doesn't shake hands. sometimes he doesn't let go. this goes on for about 15 second and he pulls him in. i have seen him do this with the vice—president. there is the tug and he clearly trying to release his hand and it goes on and at the end of this you see him turn away to the japanese cameras. i think you spent your time last week becoming a body language expert. yes i do. more serious issues. north korea fired a missile and it suggests the country is getting closer to being able to reach the us mainland. this missile

is capable of carrying a large scale nuclear warhead and it had a longer range than anything they have tested. the range is 11,500 kilometres. of course he has done this when there is chaos in washington. so the timing is interesting. yes, the couple of things here, first that the message being sent to donald trump that you try and get tough on north korea, we are not going to be easy to deal with. china starting a trade summit and a message to the chinese and russia, because this landed 60 mimes from russia. the question people are looking at is what was the reenindustry like. —— reenindustry like. —— re—entry like.

reenindustry like. —— reenindustry like. -- re-entry like. interesting. we discussed earlier a white house shake—up. perhaps no one would miss sean spicer more than saturday night live. they have been at it again. the white house spokesman featured, played by a comedian. i'm filling in for sean, he is in the naval reserve and he can't be here. i'm sure can i see him hiding in those bushes. the naval exercise, he is trying to blend in with his surroundings. can you to this full—time. blend in with his surroundings. can you to this full-time. i would also light too ask that question. your

articulate and charming and sean is bullish... that is cruel. he takes his podium and is driving through new york trying to find trump tower. saying is did you ever put me in a position of not telling the truth. she is so good. the idea of him hiding in the bush, that is because he was hiding on the dayjames comey was sacked. you missed this, a lot happened last week, james comey was fired and sean spicer had a wonder around the white house garden bushes. now you're watching 100 days. good to have you back. viewers in the uk can get up—to—date with the events in the general election in the election wrap in a moment. that is all on the bbc news

channelment still to come the secret side ofjfk. after the dry weather we have seen for many weeks, the weather has changed. producing scenes like this. spotted by our weather watchers, a 5°99y spotted by our weather watchers, a soggy picture in the lake district. the rain in north—west england and south—west scotland, wales, northern ireland and some spots got over an inch. not so much in london. but that cold change later in the week. many places will have more rain as the week goes on. low pressure in charge of our weather. weather fronts around the area of low pressure bringing rain. still around

tonight. some heavier bursts in southern scotland, north—west england, wales and a few showers elsewhere under cloudy skies. the cloud is low in southern and western areas and so there will be fog on the hills and temperatures not going down far. holding into the mid teens. a mied —— mild and muggy night. for northern ireland and scotla nd night. for northern ireland and scotland the day starting dry. but we have this to move on through as the day goes on. but then the sun will come out. rain in north—west england and wales. some heavier bursts. after the rain over night, some standing waters and spray on the roads. a few showerses in south—west england and the midlands. much of eastern england dry with sunshine. scotland and northern ireland seeing some rain, turning drier by the end of the day. this

wet weather slips further south through england and wales. given any of the sunny breaks, the potential for 22 celsius. again that mild, muqqy for 22 celsius. again that mild, muggy feel. through tuesday nights and the clear skies in scotland and northern ireland will make it chilly. look how this system comes back to life across england and wales with some heavy rain and that will move on through south—east england and east anglia going into wednesday. again a good soaking for some. by the end of the week it will feel fresher, with some sunshine. but there will be some heavy showers and possibly thundery. hello and welcome to the election wrap — our guide to all the election news of the day. and voters have been grilling theresa may, on a walkabout in oxfordshire. i'm talking about everybody, not

just me. everybody who's got learning disabilities. i want them not to have their money taken away and leaving them crippled. as well as pounding the streets, the pm's been giving interviews to regional reporters, and found time for a bit of new media, appearing on facebook live. politicians of every stripe are desperately trying to connect with voters, and we'll be asking,
