this week, a city brought to a stop by ransomware. going greener in india. and does the future of motorsport sound like this? electric whirring. electric whirring. formula e. the highest class of competition for electric racing cars. it is still very young, with its inaugural season very young, with its inaugural season taking place in 2014. but it is quickly becoming incredibly popular. this is the car that the tea m popular. this is the car that the team is racing, it is the generation
1:32 am
to car, completely battery—powered but still capable of achieving speeds of up to 174 mph. 0—60 in 2.8 seconds. we know how popular formula 1is, seconds. we know how popular formula 1 is, but formula e is looking to overta ke 1 is, but formula e is looking to overtake it in the world of motorsport. big names like bmw, nissen and mahindra, are involved, with places taking —— resting place all over the world from france, india, china to germany. we are here at the excel centre which will be home to next year's london race. what is interesting is that this will be the first track in the world that runs both outside... and inside a building. and with drivers like philippe massa making the switch to
1:33 am
formula e, there is growing interest in the sport. the mentality is com pletely in the sport. the mentality is completely different from one championship to the other one. the idea, i really enjoy it, and i am really ha p py idea, i really enjoy it, and i am really happy to be part of this championship. we will have more on formula e later in the show. at first i want to tell you about someone first i want to tell you about someone that has been in baltimore in the us. becausejust someone that has been in baltimore in the us. because just over a someone that has been in baltimore in the us. becausejust over a month ago on the seventh of may, this city of7 ago on the seventh of may, this city of 7 million people was struck by a massive rent somewhere attack. almost instantly, get this, the entire city's invisible functions we re entire city's invisible functions were shut down, and they have been ever since. even now a month on, no—one seems to know what to do about it. staveley has been out what happens when hackers take down an entire city. baltimore is a vibrant city of the us east coast. around 10 million people live here. right now it is in the grip of a massive cyber
1:34 am
attack. this malicious attack, this virus forced city officials here to shut down crucial services. today is the 10th day of a crippling cyber security attack on baltimore city. leaders say the fbi has opened a criminal investigation. technicians are working to resolve the issue but until then many files in the city's computer systems are unusable. the city's interim there, who is less than one month in thejob, faces a crisis. our team is working very hard, i can't give you a timeframe, because you know when the virus hit we had to find out where it is throughout the whole system. the hackers are demanding $100,000 worth of bitcoin to set the city's computers free. i am just heading to one of the municipal buildings here in the city, a place i am told that people are having to go in person to pay things like parking fines, which
1:35 am
they would normally be able to do online, but of course the website isn't working. i am expecting to encounter some rather fed up isn't working. i am expecting to encounter some ratherfed up people. i think they need to pay the ransom, but that is just me. but you don't wa nt to but that is just me. but you don't want to inspire other people to do the same thing, but i think they need to solve it, because they are losing a lot of money themselves. need to solve it, because they are losing a lot of money themselvesm isa losing a lot of money themselvesm is a big inconvenience, but i get it. one of the most disrupted industries has been real estate. the systems to put through sales was not off—line. systems to put through sales was not off-line. anybody who was having a transaction, they were not able to go through with it, meaning that everything was delayed, homeownership, commissions being paid to the real estate agents, fees being paid to lenders as well as title companies. a manual worker and has been put into action but realtors are still nervous about the long—term effects that this is going
1:36 am
to have on the housing market. there could be an added kick in the teeth. they were early reports that hackers may have used a floor not discovered in china or russia, but perhaps here, just 20 miles away from baltimore. the new york times reported that the hack may have used an exploit known as eternal blue, developed by —— america's own national security agency, the nsa. but the nsa denied an exploit was used, and even if it was its advisers argue that baltimore should have protected itself, as a security patch for the vulnerability has been available for more than two years. so focusing on a single exploit, especially one that has a solution through a patch that was issued yea rs through a patch that was issued years ago is shortsighted. vulnerabilities will continue to be found, doing the basics is required for responsible network administration stop regardless of
1:37 am
how exactly the hackers bridged baltimore's open defences, security experts say it speaks to a bigger problem. unfortunately baltimore city's it operations are not in great shape. the city is underfunded for its it department. it is a man—made disaster. and it is a disaster that is the result of negligence and of putting things off until tomorrow. so i'm negligence and of putting things off untiltomorrow. so i'm on my way negligence and of putting things off until tomorrow. so i'm on my way now to city hall to meet with the woman tasked with leading baltimore's recovery from this attack. there is talk that they will apply for federal emergency funds, it is the same thing as if there was a big flood or some other natural disaster. baltimore, like many governments, faced challenges in terms of resources and systems being antiquated, that may make them vulnerable to these types of attacks. what our city has shown is that our employees are willing to work really ha rd
1:38 am
that our employees are willing to work really hard to find ways to keep the operations of city government moving and to support our citizens and our employees, and that is what we are doing. the city has said it won't pay the ransom, but more than one month on now, recovery effo rts more than one month on now, recovery efforts are still ongoing. the eventual cost will run into the tens of millions of dollars, and unless millions more are spent bringing the network up to scratch, it could happen again at any time. hello and welcome to the weekend attack. it was the week that apple pulled the plug on itunes, leaving separate apps for music, pod casts and tv in its place. amazon is that it would be making deliveries by drone within months. its new quieter prototype can carry £5 packages for up to 15 miles. and can identify people, dogs and even avoid clotheslines. and the sky is not the limit for elon musk.
1:39 am
he is facing a growing backlash against his plans to launch 12,000 spacex satellites. the international astronomical union says that too many satellites on the night sky could end up hindering my rather than helping, space discoveries. spacex launched its first 60 satellites last month. lab grown patches could help your heart keep eating after a heart attack. so say scientists at imperial college, london. these thumb sized strips grown out of human stem cells are programmed to turn into working heart muscle. they have now been deemed safe for human trials. and finally, it seems our travel could getting a bold new book. this concept plane has cabins in its wings, and is designed to use 20% less fuel, thanks to a cash boost from klm, a small model may be flying this october.
1:40 am
formula e is notjust a competition between electric powerhouses. it is also a testbed so the teams can further develop attack in these racecars. the idea is that this tech then filters down into everyday electric road cars. the same way that other motorsports have influenced petrol and diesel vehicles. but one of the main features of formula e is that all teams have to drive this car, they are not allowed to change anything about it. except for one thing. so what is that? kate russell went for a spin in berlin to find out. woohoo!. this year's formula e season has been a beauty pageant for
1:41 am
the latest generation tech. as second—generation cars track with more power than ever before. i was one of a handful ofjournalists who got to drive a generation to cover the first time on a track following the first time on a track following the berlin —— early in e—prix. this 25% more talk and 25% more powerful than the generation one cards, generation to go 0—60 in a blistering 2.8 seconds. the powertrain is what converts the electricity from the battery into power to drive the wheels, and what they learn on track those directly
1:42 am
into the production vehicles. the teams all have the same core hardware, so eking out a winning performance is about tuning the powertrain. there is also more racist strategy this season, as battery range has almost doubled, meaning no need for a pitstop, as long as you can manage meaning no need for a pitstop, as long as you can manage your power over the 45 minute race. coasting, thatis over the 45 minute race. coasting, that is something we do during the race. we have to use our energy most efficiently, and then using the regeneration because you can slow the car down incredibly well byjust using the regen are not using mechanical brakes. and ina and in a move to make the sport more exciting, the fia has added an engine boost feature reminiscent of triggering power ups and a video game. we have to go off the ideal
1:43 am
line to trigger this attack mode, where you have more power during eight minutes. and if somebody is right behind you, it means they will likely overtake you. then you will have to overtake again using more power. so it is like playing chase while driving. the other striking change for season five is the look of the cars. let's face it. if it looks too much like the batmobile not to fall completely in love with. with the combined look and sound, it does feel a little like driving into the future. wow. and new to formula e this year is the market leader for
1:44 am
electric consumer cars. we were able to use a lot of our knowledge in the production side, racing will help us develop future technologies but we really wa nted develop future technologies but we really wanted to demonstrate what was capable today. see how much of this technology commercial cars have packing. now i could drive around the car park in a road carfor this bit, but... has someone got on the wall and the exit... this season jaguar launched the i—pace trophy, racing on city circuits, and it would be rude not to. this i—pace may have been stripped down for racing but it is the same basic car you can drive out of the showroom. this is a pure race car. and lessons learned on race day are vital for
1:45 am
future innovation. which is why so many carmakers want in. what we hope is that season one, we focus on development of a racing car, and then season two, three beyond, we can bring what we learn from the race track back into the road car. same engineers who developed the i3 and i8 power trains have developed our formula e car, so it is related. like their formula e siblings, these ca i’s like their formula e siblings, these cars are quick and quiet. you said there is no frills, you can hear the noise of the track. stop going under the car. you are able to hear a lot more of what the tires are doing and almost what the brakes are doing as well, so it adds an extra dimension to it. and after spending a day on the track here in berlin, i am going
1:46 am
to look at electric road cars with a lot more respect in future. wow. that was kate russell. and that was amazing. being only five years old, formula e is still relatively unknown to some. and being born in an age when formula one is arguably the most well—known motorsport and with most of us buried in our mobile phones these days, it could be difficult to attract new fans. however, they are using your phone in their favour. eamonn however, they are using your phone in theirfavour. eamonn met however, they are using your phone in their favour. eamonn met up takes a look at how that has been working out. youtube, twitter, ghost racing, and the formula e out. these are the four apps that formula e are using to reach a new younger audience online. so how are they doing that? let's start with you too. we know how enormously popular it is with 2 billion monthly users checking out content. that is a lot of new
1:47 am
potential firms. so content. that is a lot of new potentialfirms. so formula e want a piece of the action. at the beginning of the season, a tag along to watch formula e's new labour show, bolted, live stream. it is their attempt to introduce people to their attempt to introduce people to the sport. youtube is give commentary. a lot of young people don'tjust sit commentary. a lot of young people don't just sit and watch commentary. a lot of young people don'tjust sit and watch one thing they will sit and watch things at they will sit and watch things at the same time. that is what makes formula e innovative. they say take that, that is what you are given. they listen to the audience and say what you want more of, do you want to see in the driver's cabin, do you wa nt to to see in the driver's cabin, do you want to see more from the guests? that was the idea. but the show was canned halfway through the season. next up, fan boost. before a race fa ns next up, fan boost. before a race fans can next up, fan boost. before a race fa ns ca n vote next up, fan boost. before a race fans can vote for the favourite driver. the five drivers with the most driver. the five drivers with the m ost fa ns driver. the five drivers with the most fans get a power boost, which could be crucial to victory in a
1:48 am
really tight race. but not everyone isafan really tight race. but not everyone is a fan of fanboost. when kate asked online what you thought of it, some of you thought it was ok, but the majority of you thought it was a popularity contest. this person's only tweets are to vote for one driver. is it subject to abuse? should fans have this much input in a race? let's finish up with probably my favourite out of all of them and what i feel is the most engaging, ghost racing. fansjoin in using the smart phone or tablet and race against the drivers in real—time, as the race is taking place. this is something that has not happened before. you cannot go on race live with other drives and any other sport. you just have to have pretty good wi—fi at home to do with us. that is the only thing you need. we equip the race because with a gps decoded to so we know exactly where they are and then we ingest the data from the race cars and the
1:49 am
scenery the data from the race cars and the scenery and we ingest you as the ghost rose into that live cgi feed. 0ur signal, that live cgi feed is faster than broadcast, because broadcast generally has a satellite and we are online. so there is no latency. although formula e is hoping this would be enough to attract new young fans, building a following online isn't as easy as it seems. this is brian hamby, otherwise known as the game terrorise, who knows a thing or two about hitting the right notes online. the best tool in youtube is your community. if you ignore them you're not to know what they want. so when you're trying to, let's just pay to get these people on, and then it's going to work, it's not. it's not going to work. kids now are not stupid, they are not dumb. they can tell when things are being pushed down your throat. natural promotion works so much better than an obvious brand integration. who is coming and
1:50 am
quick? while formula e's demps to connect with the new bodies have exactly hit home, the sheer number of potential fans online means they will keep on trying and trying —— with a new fans. back in berlin, the ep is also home to the first green tech festival, founded by nico rosberg. one thing that remains is my passion for innovation and innovative technologies. that is the same in formula one. i'm finding this now in the sustainable technologies. i'm so passionate about the innovation, the pioneering thatis about the innovation, the pioneering that is happening there. on show here are some greener ways to travel. like this fully electric ship that can travel up to 100 nautical miles on a single charge. but some things are just, well, conceptual, to say the least. this

airbus drone is supposed to lift ca rs airbus drone is supposed to lift cars out of traffic and drop drivers to their destination. they will have a range of 30 miles. but it may take more than these to solve some of the pollution problems. fossilfuel cars, bikes, and buses are turning some of india's teaming cities into snarled up and smoking mega giants. according to greenpeace, 22 of the world's most polluted cities are in india. flogging electric tech to india. flogging electric tech to india is proving a tough sell. but inroads are being made. and david reed has taken to india's streets to find out how electric four, three, and two wheelers are having an impact. it is so nice to be back in mumbai. it's always on the move. an outfit which is associated with the indian carr manufacturer mahendra has just
1:52 am
launched an uber style car service. and the entire fleet is electric. they met up with a regular customer. it is absolutely fantastic. anything you want in the car is there. there are tv screens. you have in car entertainment. wi—fi, video conferencing. it is like your office on wheels. so why electric? the fact that our cities aren't exactly no pollution means that every vehicle running on petrol and diesel has pollution. would you ever buy an 0drick car? pollution. would you ever buy an odrick car? eye would love to. the only challenge here is infrastructure. it is a good mobile showroom for the cars. they are a tough sell because of the recharging issue and price, but what about
1:53 am
other vehicles? in bangalore, two couege other vehicles? in bangalore, two college buddies with a passion for electric have created a high—end scooter. and boy does it scoot. wow. now that is really fast. it is the fastest in the entire sector. you didn't want to just make something that would cater to people's ethical consumer choices, you want to do something really attractive. when you walk in as a customer to the showroom you don't say what is the smallest and least powerful way. you will just buy something smallest and least powerful way. you willjust buy something that is absolutely fun. the waiters pushed to the centre so it rides more like a motorbike. it is as fast as they dare make it. they have even throttled back the power. why is that? it was just too dangerous. throttled back the power. why is that? it was just too dangerousm was too dangerous. it is about ten kilowatts of power. that could be
1:54 am
dangerous for a regular individual obviously one drawback with electric vehicles is you are —— obviously one drawback with electric vehicles is if you are having to recharge them two hours a day that is two hours where you are not earning. however somebody has come up with a great idea. i'm running low onjuice. you can help. forget hours of recharging, this pitstop takes one minute. you open it up, take the battery out. people now have vehicles without the batteries. and they use batteries as servers. they do 50 kilometres, a people 50, they do 50 kilometres, a people 50, they do 100 kilometres, they pay for 100. they don't only batteries, they don't have to manage it. the whole thing is taken care of. on four, two, even three wills, india's eclectic electric is taking shape. david read on the road in india. that's it for us for now. don't
1:55 am
forget, if you want us to pay des we are always there for you. we live at bbc click. thanks for watching. we will see you soon. hello there. the atmosphere on friday was in an extremely lively mood. a lot of rain for some of us, thunder and lightning, and even reports of one or two funnel clouds. these pictures came from somerset. this certainly looks like a funnel cloud. a funnel cloud is very similar to a tornado, itjust doesn't touch the ground. this is the radar picture from friday evening. showers and thunderstorms developed across the west country, south—east wales, drifted up into the midlands. still some hefty showers around through the first part of saturday morning. the thunder and lightning risk much lower at this stage. 0utbrea ks of persistent rain drifting into southern scotland, northern ireland, certainly affecting northern england and there's some very windy weather down towards the south.
1:56 am
it all comes courtesy of this, an area of low pressure, only slowly drifting north through the day ahead. it will bring some unseasonably windy weather and some outbreaks of rain at times. the rain is likely to be sitting across the south and east of scotland, into northern england, wales, the midlands, east anglia, nudging to the south—east. really, the spiral of rain sits in the same place throughout the day. elsewhere we see some spells of sunshine but also showers breaking out, and those winds will be brisk indeed, especially for southern and eastern parts of england, which could see gusts of 40 or 50 miles an hour, which could well have an impact on some outdoor events. those temperatures really disappointing. 14 in newcastle, maybe 17 in cardiff. the weather will start to come down during saturday night. that area of low pressure finally spins away to the north—east, taking much of the rain with it. clear spells, it's going to be a bit chilly in one or two places, and as the winds fall lighter, i would not be surprised to see the odd mist and fog patch here and there sunday morning. sunday's weather still dominated by dutch low pressure, but it's moving away.
1:57 am
not as many lines on the chart, not as many isobars. a of sunshine and showers. the show is most plentiful across northern ireland and scotland. fringes of western england and northern wales. eastern england should not see too many showers, it was a largely dry with some sunshine, and those winds will be noticeably lighter especially in southern areas. it will feel a bit warmer, 15 in belfast, 19 in london. but the week ahead looks very unsettled. outbreaks of rain at times. it will often be quite windy, and for a while at least it will feel very cool indeed.
