people like jeremy hunt, we have not seen hugely in the campaign?may's team. you vote for her team as she is a strong leader. jeremy corbyn, as we were saying, looks more attractive as a politician and things are changing a little bit here. away from the election... you talked about manchester. and ariana grande announcing her concert on sunday. in manchester. her concert of defiance is the daily mirror's headline. not just her but other big stars? that's a good headline, it was a cultural terror attack, striking at the heart of something that is very resonant ina lot of something that is very resonant in a lot of people's lives. going to a p0p in a lot of people's lives. going to a pop concert and the feeling is that they decided to carry on. have an even bigger concert. and a load of other megastars there. that is how to honour them and help victims. it starts with young fan bases like she has. a strong message going to terrorists, you cannot frighten or divide us. we will remain free and have this concert to show you... some people have suggested

the health secretary, jeremy hunt, refused to comment on the situation when approached early today.ken. what's being done about the situation? although we have never seen anything on this scale when it comes to ransomware attacks, they are relatively common. and there are things you can do, everyone, to protect ourselves against them. in particular, making sure data is properly backed up, and making sure that we are using the software patches, the antivirus patches sent out regularly by manufacturers. these are things we can all do to reduce the risk of the impact we have seen over the last 48 hours. there are clearly wide variations between hospitals overjust how badly they were hit and how quickly they are recovering from the cyber—attack. the fallout will be far—reaching and uncomfortable for some. it is difficult to know why, but some theories that are floating around are that some of the trusts might have been using older equipment and older software. it has been a very stressful few days for staff and and patients alike in the nhs. it has highlighted the system's dependency on

well, they do need more doctors, we knew that was jeremy hunt idea.icy coming in, that will mean 10,000 more nhs nurses, another good thing. don't know how that will be paid for. but i tell people were getting fed up with this election, but not the readers of the express because that story covers four pages. and one of those promises of every child attending a local grammar school. the mental health policy in the gp policy are widely popular with both the party and the public but the grammar school is harder because this is something that theresa may specifically wants. she has raised at the foreman was not a manifesto and she had opposition from her party. she will be hoping that her own personal mandate will mean she can own personal mandate will mean she ca n follow own personal mandate will mean she can follow through on this plan for every child to have the chance to attend a grammar like she did. so this puts her stamp on this conservative government in changing and losing some of the things that she did not agree with that in the cameron govern

i mean, i have occasionally been sympathetic tojeremy have occasionally been sympathetic to jeremy huntn sympathetic tojeremy hunt in this studio in the past, but the problem he has got is this has happened on his watch. he will now have to answer on behalf of the health service for what has been going on. it does seem bizarre, we all get the messages on our computer saying you need to update your software. download this and it will happen overnight. stuff is left not quite working when you get at the next day, but you work through it and get it sorted. it's hard to believe that is all a lot of these trusts had to do to stop this? it's incredible. but then we have just been through the winter crisis. we probably have a lot of people in hospitals with other priorities. i know amber rudd was saying over the weekend, we told just to do this and weekend, we told just to do this and we set money aside. it comes against a backdrop of catastrophic it failures by nhs. 0nly a backdrop of catastrophic it failures by nhs. only a few years ago they scrapped that scheme to digitise everything that c

the problem with that, #k50rding to jeremy hunt is that it is unfair. and the costs are borne by taxpayers and younger families who may be themselves struggling to make ends meet. he, jeremy hunt is saying that they don't think that is fair on different generations, in other words the younger generation, not as well off, paying for social care for the older generation? that is why we must look at the winter fuel allowa nce must look at the winter fuel allowance and the domiciliary care test into the means test. i am not suggesting we increase the amount of funding for pensions but looking at the triple lock, the fuel allowance, the triple lock, the fuel allowance, the domiciliary means test, that there are legitimate ways of funding this scheme. the amounts of money we are talking about is small. about £2 billion a year in insurance schemes. less tha n billion a year in insurance schemes. less than the winter fuel allowance. and in fairness, the proposals that we have mean if you are unlucky enough to suffer from a large social ca re enough to suffer fr

we will speak with jeremy hunt to pay more for home aid. what it means for everyone. who will pay more? bottom of what it means for everyone. who will pay more ?m bottom of what it means for everyone. who will pay more? it is quite complicated. kat? my favourite story in the times, writing about a boat crash in bermuda because ben ainsley and his team he is trying to ta ke ainsley and his team he is trying to take the america's cup are having races with other teams hoping to compete as well and they have had a crash with team new zealand and benainslie had to apologise, he called it a love tap. these boats are worth a fortune. the new zealand skipper said it is a shame that we have a big dent in the back of a nice boat. so he is not impressed? not at all. apparently it is getting very competitive as it heats up towards the america's cup. looking forward to that. this one is intriguing. this is about waiting lists. and about things people put on the waiting list. you can see the headline, people want a pizza oven. it is an expensive item. the

jeremy hunt, health secretary, speaking earlier this morning to the bbc.rman smithjoins me now. he has been following all of the campaigning and the manifesto launches. we know quite a bit of what we can expect from theresa may this morning, can you take us through the main points? what's the most interesting thing? the break with the cameron years, theresa may isjunking a with the cameron years, theresa may is junking a pile with the cameron years, theresa may isjunking a pile of david cameron's iconic policies. out goes the tax lock, out goes the pension pledge. end of free school meals. forget the idea of a cap on social care. it is alljunk. a idea of a cap on social care. it is all junk. a complete idea of a cap on social care. it is alljunk. a complete break with the cameron years. mrs may seemed to be ready to confront issues in society, showing the cameron years were protected and shielded from the full blast of posterity. top of the pile is pensioners, if you are a wealthy pensioner, and you lose your winter fuel allowance, you lose two of the guar

labour has written to the health secretary, jeremy hunt, calling for a detailed explanation and todaynt on the attack. the government's handling of this crisis has been chaotic. we have long warned that the government's attitude to cyber security in the nhs was complacent. they have cut the infrastructure budget so that the nhs couldn't put the money it needed into securing its it systems and i'm afraid now the chickens are coming home to roost. labour says if elected it'll invest billions of pounds in the nhs to up—grade i t systems and modern ieds hospitals and other buildings. england's trust which includes the royal london hospital was one of those hit by the impact of the atoo, the it systems are still not running normally. managers say a certain number of appointments and routine operations will go ahead tomorrow. nhs england had this advice for patients: it may be a little bit slower when you get there because the hospitals are using different systems, so please be patient. the basic message is — if you have an appointment, you should attend. but some ambulances are still being

amber rudd, home secretary is chairing the meeting, and we also saw going into the meeting jeremy huntalth secretary. we expect there are also cyber security experts and senior nhs officials. the aim of this meeting is to try to clarify exactly what happened during this cyber attack, who and what was affected, and perhaps most importantly, what is being done now to try to repair the damage, and thoughts are now turning to who was responsible for this cyber attack. there has been some criticism on behalf of the government and the nhs of their computer operating systems not being up to date. not enough was done to defend the nhs from this sort of attack, but in the last hour or so, jeremy corbyn, the labour leader, has made this comment. what we've now got is a bunch of 21st century highway robbers that have hacked into our nhs and are basically offering protection money to get the information back in order to treat cancer patients or anybody else. it's unbelievably disgusting, and i've got nothing but contempt for the people who have done it. also this afternoon, theresa may, the conser

about a proposed cap now, in 2017, this is whatjeremy hunt proposed cap now, in 2017, this is what jeremy hunt 2017, this is whatjeremy hunt told the bbc last thursday. not only are we dropping it, we are dropping it ahead of the general election, we are being completely explicit in the manifesto that we are dropping it, we are dropping it because we have looked again at the proposal and we don't think it is fair. queue several days of awkward conversations on the doorsteps for conservative candidate and four days later, a rather different message from the prime minister, we will make sure, she said today, there will be an absolute limit on what people will need to pay for care. —— cue. in other words, there will be a cap, but there is no indication of the level at which it might be set.“ the cap fits, you've got to wear it, what has prompted this change of heart? look at the sunday times front page, tory wobble, as cuts for elderly slash lead. the paper had a yougov poll which cut the advanatge to just 9 percent.

in the last few minutes, the health secretary, jeremy hunt, has been talking to the bbc.test today, and what is being done? this morning, i have been briefed by gchq and the national cyber security centre, and according to our latest intelligence, we have not seen a second wave of attacks, and the level of criminal activity is at the lower end of the range that we had anticipated, so i think that is encouraging. but the message is very clear, not just for organisations like the nhs, but for private individuals and businesses, although we have never seen individuals and businesses, although we have never seen anything on this scale when it comes to ransomware attacks, there done they are relatively common, and there are things all of us can do to protect ourselves, in particular make sure oui’ ourselves, in particular make sure our data is properly backed up, and make sure we are using the software patches, the antivirus patches that are sent out regularly by manufacturers. these are things we can all do to reduce the risk of the impact we have seen over the last 48 hours.

meeting of the emergency committee is still going on under the leadership of the home secretary and jeremy hunten to give the impression it is on top of this and doing something to tackle what is and what was an unprecedented attack. the one good piece of news is the much anticipated second big attack that people had suggested might happen today has not yet happened. happened yet. some 16 trusts are still fighting what happened last week. at such a sensitive time for the government with a general election around the corner, the government has been accused by opponents in the labour party and the liberal democrats of being caught almost with its trousers down and not being prepared for the attack. the prime minister hit back, saying that those warnings were sent out to various health trusts, peeling them about the —— telling them about the necessary updates to their computers. the but the reality is many of the health trusts and boards in england still operate very old computer systems. you will note that in wales there wasn't a single successful breach of the nhs trusts in wales, because accord

here is what jeremy hunt told the bbc last thursday.because we have looked again at this proposal and we don't think it is fair. that is because she could have a situation where someone who owns a house, £1 million, £2 million, has expensive care costs of perhaps £100,000, £200,000. ends up under that proposal not having to pay the ca re costs that proposal not having to pay the ca re costs because that proposal not having to pay the care costs because they are capped. iamjoined by care costs because they are capped. i am joined by the chair of the care funding commission. what do you make of what to reason may do today?” funding commission. what do you make of what to reason may do today? i am delighted. i was very disappointed with the proposals put forward last week. they address the problem of what we do about the means tested system. they did nothing for the population as a whole. there was no way of planning for this enormous concern. now they have gone back to what was legislated for in the last government. they are putting a cap

when asked about a proposed cap now, in 2017, here is what the health secretary, jeremy hunt, told thethat we are dropping it and we are dropping it because we have looked again at the proposal and we do not think it is fair. several days of awkward conversations on the doorstep. and four days later, a rather different message from the prime minister, today she said we will make sure there will be an absolute limit on what people will need to pay for care. in other words, what people will need to pay for care. in otherwords, there what people will need to pay for care. in other words, there will be a cap, but there is no indication of the level at which it might be set, theoretically, if they went back to theoretically, if they went back to the previous policy of a cap of 72,000, that would mean taking our example of a house worth 300,000, pay a maximum of 72, example of a house worth 300,000, paya maximum of 72, and keep example of a house worth 300,000, pay a maximum of 72, and keep the rest. if the house was worth 150,000, you would pay 50, then the new 100,000 guarantee would kick

the health secretary, jeremy hunt, has been talking to our security correspondent gordon corera.s and ministers arrived from eating of the emergency committee cobra to discuss the cyber attack on the nhs. mr hunt, is everything under control? among them, the health secretary, who before the meeting denied accusations from labour and liberal democrats that computer security had been underfunded and the nhs underprepared. we have been making huge efforts to modernise and invest despite the financial pressures, and that's why we were able to maintain our emergency services, why more than 95% of services were up and running within 2a hours, and i think that's an extraordinary achievement. i think the perception is this was a form of malicious software that was blasted out, and only the institutions that weren't secure enough were affected by it. we have a criminal investigation going on at the moment by the national crime agency to understand exactly why people chose to target who they did, but if you look internationally this has affected more than 200,000 victims in 150 countries.

you wa nt to see a privatised under somebody likejeremy to see a privatised under somebody like jeremy hunt of immigration, you want that sector devolved, explain why? scotland is not full up, devolved, explain why? scotland is notfullup, our devolved, explain why? scotland is not full up, our population has risen but we are not full, we need more people to come and grow our economy. the argument about immigration in scotland is different to the argument against immigration south of the border. there is an a cce pta nce south of the border. there is an acceptance by all parties that managed immigration, bringing in skilled workers is a good thing for the economy. we want to control that, it is not good enough for tories to suddenly say scotland is an unattractive place, bring in more people, by denying us the right to control our own immigration policy, it is bonkers. it should be controlled in scotland to meet scottish needs. do you have a target of how many more emigrants you want in scotland or is it to do with the needs of the economy? you managed immigration on the needs of the economy

there are a team of health ministers working under jeremy corbyn — underjeremy hunt.s the issues for you? the government have supported and they have listened, however, we will see the implementation of the 30 hours funding in septemberand implementation of the 30 hours funding in september and the rate that's offered to us is slightly less than what it's going to cost us to deliver this service. it's crucial that we have accessible and affordable childcare to support working families nationally, not just here in cornwall. ok. lib dems, labour, would you like to... i'm in support of the one pence on income tax to provide for better services particularly for mental health. of course, you are, you're a lib dem candidate. i also sit on tribunals for mental health patients in cornwall and the scandal is lack of provision for young people. young people having to be sent out of the cou nty people having to be sent out of the county because there is no provision for them. having to spend time in police cells because that's the nearest place of safety. and if a one pence on i

hunt by isis. and there's the possibility that people will die in that. jeremy was talking about the price with allies, that not only will we now have trouble with the ally that was involved here, "the new york times" said they warned us before they might cut us off from some of their information if it was shared, but now it's hard to get other people to work with us. and this is just as the president is about to have what could be a triumphant moment on the world stage, his first international trip heading off to the middle east where apparently this ally is. heading off to israel, saudi arabia, and then on to rome, where this is going to shadow whatever conversations they have, like someone who is very close friend of the white house said, we can't put two good days together and one person said to me at this point, i would settle for one good day. >> wow. well you know who's not experienced a lot of members of congress and senate. robbie brought that point up earlier. i want to share what bob corker said yesterday who has been a trump supporter for some time,

rising prices in the shops, we see the crisis in the nhs, talking to jeremy the shops, we see the crisis in the nhs, talking tojeremy hunt a lot. as prime minister she set out a clear plan. if you talk to people like i do and all the candidates are doing in their constituencies, people are coming up to us saying they want to vote for theresa may but they cannot vote for theresa may but they cannot vote for theresa may but they cannot vote forjeremy corbyn because they have confidence in her. when she decided to call the general election she set a clearly why it was, the timing. the fact is we don't want to enter into the final negotiations with the european union, and we have seen over the past few days they may be tricky over parts, as we enter into the general election, if we give the reason mandate i hope she will get on june eight, give the reason mandate i hope she will get onjune eight, she will enter into the negotiations on a position of strength and with a mandate to carry out the national interest and not need to go to a general election at the end of the negotiations. we will talk about diane abbott later. lab
