ransomware attacks. hello and welcome to bbc news. president trump says his administration plans to impose additional sanctions on iran, to try to prevent the country acquiring nuclear weapons. the foreign office here says one of its ministers will meet senior officials in tehran tomorrow for talks aimed at easing tensions between iran and the united states. our north america correspondent chris buckler reports from washington. for the moment, donald trump is choosing sanctions as his weapon, not force. but the us military remains primed and ready in the gulf, and while the president abandoned strikes on iranian targets on thursday, the countries still appear to be on a collision course, unless something changes. if the leadership of iran behaves badly, then it's going to be a very, very bad day for them. but hopefully, they are smart

and hopefully they really care for their people, not themselves. and hopefully, we can get iran back onto an economic track that's fantastic. washington is putting further sanctions in place in an attempt to prevent iran developing nuclear weapons. tehran has already warned it is about to breach limits on the amount of enriched uranium it can stockpile, putting the future of the iran nuclear deal in doubt. by threatening the accord, they are trying to get america's allies to put pressure on president trump to relax the sanctions that are causing real pain for people in iran. translation: the economic situation is changing every day. sanctions and welfare are getting worse. this is because the two governments, iran and the us, are escalating tensions. after attacks on tankers and the downing of an american drone, the strait of hormuz is not only one of the world's most important trading routes, it is the centre of international tensions.

chris buckler, bbc news, washington. and earlier chris gave me this update from washington. i think he has been trying to do two things, on one hand you could argue he is trying to reach out and talking to them about what their economy could be and suggested the idea that potentially there could be talks between him and iranian leadership, if that was possible that at the same time he is also threatening dire consequences if there are further attacks in the gulf. on the one hand, you could argue he is doing his best to try to build relationships but problem is that many in the white house are concerned there could be further attacks and the straight remains not just one of the big trade routes but the centre of international concern and asa the centre of international concern and as a result he has had to accept that there were people inside the white house including national

security adviser who are pushing for the strakes to send a message to tehran and there is an argument if he continues to say this one hand i will try to reach out and the other hand i will threaten with strakes, instead is a mixed message rather than a clear message. how do you think they will be reacting behind the scenes. they made entirely clear that they do not want any part in talking to him as long as americans sanctions remain in place and the president is saying there will be further sanctions in place. it does give you this idea that iran is going to be become increasingly frustrated. turan going to be become increasingly frustrated. tu ran made going to be become increasingly frustrated. turan made it very clear that it frustrated. turan made it very clear thatitis frustrated. turan made it very clear that it is going to breach the iran nuclear deal as the week that some because it is going to get to the point where it stockpiled more

enriched uranium than is allowed to. that again puts pressure on that acquired and by doing that you could argue that they are trying to put pressure on those who are still part of the agreement, the us walked away from it but europe and other countries that are allied to the us are still a part of that iran nuclear deal and you could argue that they are using that to try to put pressure on them to try and force the us to ease sanctions which would cause real problems to the country. invention further sanctions and a have a affect on relations are weighed they have expected those all along? in some ways they will have expected it that you can certainly argue it is not going to help relations and certainly there are other people within the iranian authorities for example, there is a spokesman for the armed forces who threatened if there is a bullet fired towards iran, it could lead the region to go on fire and those are the type of threats, sanctions

will not be taken well either and there is a question about what iran will do next. may deny that they we re will do next. may deny that they were responsible for the attacks on the tinkers in the gulf but the truth is that the americans believe they wear and that they are concerned it will be further action to show that iran is not happy with how america acting and what president trump is saying. the two remaining contenders in the race to become the next british prime minister — borisjohnson and jeremy hunt — have been making their pitch for the job at the first of sixteen meetings with conservative party members. boris johnson was the first to speak — but he avoided answering questions about why the police were called to the flat he shares with his partner on thursday night. here's our political correspondent, vicky young. have you ruined your chances of becoming prime minister, mrjohnson? mrjohnson, why were police outside your house last night? he's been accused of hiding from scrutiny, avoiding detailed answers about his policies on brexit and tax. we meet in dark days for our party... today, the questions

were more personal. as borisjohnson faced hundreds of conservative party members and was asked why police had been called to his flat in the early hours of friday morning. i don't think they want to hear about that kind of thing, unless i... applause. police were called to the flat borisjohnson shares with his girlfriend carrie symonds after neighbours reported hearing an angry row and were concerned about her welfare. a neighbour passed on a recording to the guardian newspaper. it is reported a woman could be heard screaming and saying, "get off", and "get out of my flat". the metropolitan police told the bbc there was no cause for police action. so what about questions of character? would mrjohnson answer that? does a person's private life... booing. don't boo, no, no, don't boo the great man. don't boo him. when he answers this question, i will move on. no, no, no. does a person's private life have any bearing on their ability

to discharge the office of prime minister? well, no... i, look, i've tried to give my answer pretty exhaustively. on brexit, he said he was determined to take the uk out of the eu by october 31st. what i said was that leaving on october 31st was, my words were "eminently feasible", which was taken to mean that i wasn't100% determined to do it. "eminently feasible" means it is not only that we are going to do it but it's possible. borisjohnson is the favourite in this race. some think he already has a foot on the steps of number 10. but leadership contests are unpredictable. he could face more uncomfortable questions, as he has today. some in this room do think he's a risky choice, but given the dire state of the conservative party, they might just think he is a risk worth taking. up next, the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt. he campaigned to remain during the referendum.

now he wants to lead a pro—brexit party. so could he be trusted to deliver? if we got to the 31st of october and the eu have not shown any willingness to negotiate a better deal that can get through the house of commons, that's not going to trap us in the customs union, then myjudgment is that, weighing those difficult options up, the political risk of no brexit is far worse than the economic risk of no deal. and what about his character? did he have the charisma and steel to be a prime minister? some people would say, "he's too nice". i think it's possible to be very polite and very tough. and i think my track record shows, you know, some very difficult industrial disputes that i had at the department of health. the advantage of the politeness is that people will talk to you. but by golly, i hope they don't underestimate you, because i'm going to get that deal. what did you make of it? i thought boris was

absolutely fantastic. he was electric. the room came alive as soon as boris entered the room and he spoke, it was absolutely brilliant. jeremy surprised me, i have to say. he came over much better than i thought he would. and it's food for thought. what did you think about questions about borisjohnson's personal life? i mean, it was inevitable, given the timing, that they would be asked, and probably, probably inevitable that he would choose not to answer. there will be 15 more of these hustings before conservative members choose our next prime minister. plenty of time for more questions. vicki young, bbc news, birmingham. let's get some of the day's other news and polling stations have officially closed in mauritania, a country marking its first democratic transfer of power since independence from france in 1960. president mohamed ould abdel aziz seized power in a coup in 2008, but he has agreed to step down and abide by a two—term limit of office. six candidates are

running to replace him. three suspected al—sha bab militants have been killed after they attacked a police camp in kenya's eastern county of garissa, close to the border with somalia. the al-qaeda—linked group has carried out attacks and kidnappings in kenya, vowing retribution for the country's involvement with amisom — a 20,000—strong african union force helping to support the government in somalia. anti—russian protesters in georgia have held a third day of demonstrations. thousands of people gathered in front of the parliament building in the capital tbilisi, calling russia an occupier state. in response to the protests russia has announced a ban on flights to and from georgia citing security concerns. sri lanka has extended a state of emergency imposed after the easter sunday suicide bombings that killed more than 250 people. the measure — which has already been in place for two months — gives powers to the security agencies to detain and interrogate suspects without court orders.

asanga abeyagoonasekra — who heads a defence ministry—run think tank — explains why the government took this decision. i think the complexity of the attack as well as the magnitude, this is the largest attack ever to happen in sri lanka by a terrorist group, and it is right for the president to extend because if you look at the amount of work that has been done in the security sector, in terms of improving the security environment of sri lanka by the military forces, has been quite a success i would say. the first cell has been completely dismantled, has been arrested, the members and also you can see a tremendous improvement in the sri lankan security sector right now. so it happened in about 60 days, two months and the country has bounced back, i would say, to a degree, a certain degree.

report from prague. 30 years ago people power brought down an entire system, mass demonstrations agreed to too much, for the communist regime. three decades on the streets will send the full once again as people protest against the prime minister, now mired in allegations of corruption. and and a deliberate echo of 1989, organisers are holding their latest rally at the same location, this time not against a but time not against a dictatorship but a democratically elected government. i think it is true that the most important thing and democracy are elections and that is true and we respect that but it does not mean that once you elect someone, you just stay silent and let politicians do anything. politicians cannot

break some important rules which is now happening. many people share that view. he might have won successive elections and still tops the opinion polls but there is something greater act stay care, a sense that the hard—won freedoms of the velvet revolution being undermined. he is very focused on profit and i think he is very focused on himself. and i think he created said and the last few years. it is dangerous if he thinks he will stay there now. this prime minister, he isjust trying stay there now. this prime minister, he is just trying to take over, stay there now. this prime minister, he isjust trying to take over, the whole country and it can be dangerous in the future. he says he will never resign over the allegations that he has for now the support of cabinet colleagues. right

now of course i am sorry these protests are going against the government because i think the government because i think the government works pretty well, that we are doing a good job in general and of course i know that there are protests and i can see them and i can feel that right now the situation is a bit nervous but i ta ke situation is a bit nervous but i take it as part of the democratic process. the government has tried to put a brave face on these mass protests but with two separate investigations by both the police and the eu, how much more pressure can one man take? the trump administration has released details of a fifty billion dollar initiative for the middle east. it calls for a global investment fund to reform the palestinian economy and link it to those of arab neighbours. the plan — which would only be implemented after a middle east political agreement — is to be presented next week

by president trump's son—in—law jared kushner at an international conference in bahrain, and he's been speaking ahead of that announcement. the plan would invest about $50 million in the region and create a million in the region and create a millionjobs in the million in the region and create a million jobs in the west bank and gaza and take the unemployment rate from 30 sent democrats sent to a single digits and more than half goes to the west bank and gaza and then also what we want to do is stimulatejordan, then also what we want to do is stimulate jordan, egypt and then also what we want to do is stimulatejordan, egypt and lebanon because if you get the whole region starting to left and israel's economy is doing well but if you integrate everything and are able to get quickerflow of integrate everything and are able to get quicker flow of goods and people, then people are able to invest in education and infrastructure and all of the different areas that are necessary in the industry of bullets and bullets and munitions and war and they think that they will lead to a big increase and investment and the area. the political side and

economic side are very robust effo rts economic side are very robust efforts and to digest both of them at one time will be hard so it was necessary i think to break them up soi necessary i think to break them up so i think the question is which when you will put first and our thought was to put the economic plan first because it is less controversial and let's let people study it and get feedback and what that could all look like in the event of a peace agreement and it is an extensive document and something i think will make people look at this differently and bring people to the table to start having a discussion. there's growing evidence that an increasing number of businesses and organisations are paying out millions to hackers in secret — against the advice of law enforcement agencies. so—called ‘ransomware' attacks — although in decline overall — appear to be becoming more targeted — with the computer systems of governments, institutions and multi—national corporations being hijacked until a fee is paid. cyber—security reporterjoe tidy has been to visit one norwegian company still recovering after thousands of their computers were taken offline by hackers.

nestled away in the norwegian forest, this aluminium plant had no idea it was being targeted by hackers. but when it was hit, it was just one of 170 sites brought to a standstill by a catastrophic cyber attack. computer systems went down everywhere. 35,000 employees forced use pen and paper. five weeks on, they are still recovering. this is another one of the computers that went down. so that was all gone? all gone. for days, olaf managed to keep his plant going manually. he relied on the skills of long—since retired workers and long—since forgotten paperwork. at the company's global headquarters in oslo, they are still rebuilding their systems. as we were being attacked, we had to shut down the entire network. a0 countries, 22,000 pcs. we are still very much recovering. we don't trust anything. the hackers' ransom note that appeared on computer screens was typical. for a large fee, probably hundreds

of thousands, they would restore the compa ny‘s files. but hydro never tried to negotiate and refused to cave in to the cybercriminals. i think in general, it is a very bad idea to pay. it fuels an industry. it is probably financing other sorts of crime. but there are plenty of companies who are paying and keeping it secret. to understand the scale, we need to go to the us, where ra nsomwa re payments are an open secret. this group will divvy up 80% of the bitcoin. this is one of a handful of companies that have started helping victims navigate the murky world of cyber extortion. we always have at least half a dozen to a dozen cases. are these big companies? some of them are, yeah, public companies and name brands. industry analysis suggests that overall, ransomware attack numbers are in decline. hackers are increasingly going after bigger targets and demanding more money.

we recognise that when a company needs to pay, and it's a large number, then that's what needs to happen and that could be seven figures. how do you feel when you pay seven figures? not good. it is not a good outcome. everybody recognises it is not a good outcome but you are dealing with the life and death of the company. there is no doubt it is a major dilemma and it is something authorities are trying to take control of without legislation. continuing to pay ransom perpetuates the crime. it actually makes the criminals, encourages them to commit further crimes and again, the whole idea, if you pay, you're actually fuelling organised crime on a global basis. but looking at the damage caused at hydro, it is obvious why the easy way out is attractive. full recovery is still months away. the repair bill currently stands at well over £40 million. joe tidy, bbc news. events have been held in the uk to mark the first national windrush day —

named after a ship that brought hundreds of caribbean migrants to help rebuild postwar britain. the government made the announcement last year after it emerged that some of the windrush generation and theirfamilies had been wrongly accused of living in britain illegally. adina campbell went to meet some of those taking part. five, six, seven, eight. one last practice for these schoolchildren in north london. for weeks they have been preparing performances for a special audience. some of the residents in this care home belong to the windrush generation and have been sharing their stories with their younger guests. hi, my name is kayla. where do you come from? i'm fromjamaica. do you remember the year you came? yeah, 1959. what was your first day like in the uk? it was all right. when i came, i settled down. the empire windrush brings 500 jamaicans. the empire windrush docked at tilbury port in essex back in 19118.

hundreds of passengers from the caribbean who were invited over after the second world war left their families are to start a new life in the uk. taking upjobs in the nhs, armed forces and other public services. some of these experiences are reflected in the group performances at the care home. half a million pounds of government funding has been made available for community events all over the uk, to celebrate members of the windrush generation theirfamilies. # i don't need nobody #. it is hoped these extraordinary stories will help us remember their valuable contribution. # all i need is you #. adina campbell, bbc news.

sheriffs in the us town of butler creek montana have warned people to lock their doors after a black bear was found sleeping in a local household's wardrobe. local police said the bear only responded with a yawn when officers attempted to wake the animal up, having entered a laundry room before bolting the door shut behind itself! unfortunately for the homeowners the bear ripped the room apart before climbing into the wardrobe for a nap. the furry intruder has since been tranquilized and removed. a reminder of our top story... president trump says the united states is pressing ahead with additional sanctions on iran, to stop it from developing a nuclear weapon. tehran recently said it intended to breach an agreed limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium. mr trump said military action against iran was still possible. he called off an attack on iran on thursday night, which was planned as retaliation for the shooting down of an american drone.

is just about it for me for now. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @sipusey. thanks for watching, do stay tuned. good morning, certainly was a present start to the weekend across much of the uk, centring tenting people onto the beaches as it will do later in the week but we will swa p do later in the week but we will swap the blue skies for some stormy winds and potential for torrential thunderstorms here and there which could cause some flash flooding but into the week the french and will be back more widely and this stage, heat and humidity will start to soar. out there into today, we have the pressure that will bring the storms later on and saturday and sunshine, still across most of the uk so it isa sunshine, still across most of the uk so it is a bright and sunny start from any and that mark cried across the highlands and will gradually move away north with —— northwards.

90 island later on, and a stiff breeze to go with it. centre entrance easy and temperatures in the mid teens in the northern half of the uk, mid 20s and increasingly monkey and particularly through northern england could see severe thunderstorms and it will vary quite widely and some could see as much as 58 mm, two inches of rain which could cause flash flooding and issues with morning rush—hour and eastern parts of scotland as the rain mid sittwe and and parts of scotla nd rain mid sittwe and and parts of scotland will be wettest to begin with but will ease its ways northwards. quite a monkey start for england and we can see further severe storms and parts of northern england and scotland and the worst of those but the exact position could change a little bit. a cool

day in northern scotland with an easterly breeze and a very muggy and humid sort of day with some sunshine breaking through the cloud. as he got through monday night into tuesday morning, one batch of storms moves away and some more rain, and perhaps some severe storms so keep checking the forecast for storms on to say and a lot of them will ease the way through the day and a bit of bright weather and temperature is wider into the 20s by the stage and as we see high pressure build back and as we go later in the week after and as we go later in the week after a brief drop in temperature is firmness and low crowd in the coast and high pressure to the east of us and high pressure to the east of us and tap into record—breaking heat in western europe and temperatures to be widely in the mid—20s to low 30s. we will keep you updated, goodbye for now.
