Five nhs trusts are still experiencing serious problems, after yesterdays International Cyber attack. 43 of the trusts affected in england and scotland, are now returning to normal. The attack on friday caused ambulances to be diverted, and numerous cancellations and delays in treatment, though a e departments were not affected. The governments Emergency Committee cobra has been meeting, chaired by the Home Secretary amber rudd. Heres our health editor, hugh pym. The news shocked staff and patients alike. The cyber attack shut down key systems. Ron grimshaw wont forget it in a hurry. He was in the middle of having an mri scan but it was abruptly halted and he will have to go back another day. I was stunned, obviously stunned, and the nurse said this is the first time this has happened. I was thinking, why me . There we are. Health secretaryjeremy hunt was at a meeting of the Emergency Cobra Committee along with the Home Secretary, who denied there were weaknesses in nhs systems. I dont believe it is to do with being prepared. There is always more we can all do to make sure we are secure against viruses but i think there had already been good preparations in place by the nhs to make sure that they were ready for this sort of attack. In england, hospital and Ambulance Services have been affected at 48 nhs trusts along with some gp practices. In scotland, 11 out 01 14 Health Boards have felt the impact, including hospitals and gp surgeries. The Scottish Ambulance service was also affected. The nhs is very much in the recovery phase. There is a great deal of work ongoing to get systems back to normal and every effort is being made to ensure any impact on patient care is kept to a minimum. A small number of trusts are said to still need help coping with the aftermath of cyber attack. Some ambulances are being diverted to other hospitals and getting the it system other hospitals and getting the it syste m u p other hospitals and getting the it system up and running again is proving to be a challenge. At york hospital, they say while they contained the virus it could take a while before they restore non urgent services. 2,000 pcs have been taken out of commission. To get 2,000 pcs back in commission will take a few days but we will be working round the clock to do that as fast as we can. At wigan, staff have been working flat out to get systems up and running normally. Im concerned because we dont know what we will find on monday morning. I think weve got sufficient understanding of the nature of the problem that we can be very confident we can solve whatever comes up on monday morning. Most of the english trusts have restored their networks. Emergency care is being provided across the nhs. But there could be more cancellations of Routine Surgery and appointments next week. In all, 99 countries across the world were affected by the cyber attack, which the eus Serious Crime Agency europol, described as unprecedented. Here, investigators have promised to do everything they can, to catch those responsible, as our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports. The cyber attack which wreaked such chaos in Britains Health service was a global assault, affecting russia worst of all but also countries as far apart as the us, australia, and japan. This evening, the two british agencies tackling it said a complex International Investigation would be needed to catch the culprits. We havent identified the offenders at this moment in time, but we are deploying all covert and overt means available to us, and we have a number of lines of enquiry. It is important that we pursue those quickly so we can reassure the public we are taking this very seriously. At the heart of this global cyber attack was a Software Worm which spreads itself from computer to computer using code originally designed by Us Government spy agencies. It is called wannacrypt, and simply encrypts all the files on the infected computer and demands a ransom. By last night at least, 75,000 computers had been infected in at least 7a countries. At that point, a Cyber Security expert managed almost by chance to stop it spreading. But all the data on the affected computers is still unusable until a ransom is paid. Any modern computer that had its software regularly updated was safe, but some nhs trusts use old Operating Systems that were particularly vulnerable others may have simply failed to take a Security Update in march. Today, the national Cyber Security centre had this simple advice. The first is to make sure your Security Software patches are up to date. The second is to employ proper good anti virus software. And the third and most important for Ransomware Protection is to back up your data, because you cannot be held to ransom if you have a back up. It has been a reminder of how vulnerable vital organisations are to attack by organised criminals seeking to raise money or by hostile states and terrorist groups trying to cause maximum disruption. The reality is there are thousands of vulnerabilities. For example, if we were to look at a company of 50,000 computers, we might find hundreds of thousands of open vulnerabilities on those machines. It is also reminder that computers are not a one off investment. They need to be kept up to date. Daniel sandford, bbc news. Jeremy corbyn has denied, that some at the top of the labour party, are already accepting defeat in the general election. It follows comments from his Deputy Tom Watson that the conservatives could be heading for a landslide victory. Mr corbyn said both he and mr watson were working flat out to get labour elected onjune the eighth. Meanwhile, the former labour Prime Minister, gordon brown, urged voters not to give theresa may a blank cheque, to run the country. 0ur Political Correspondent ian watson reports. Two big beasts, a former Prime Minister and a former deputy of Prime Minister entered the frame to claim the conservatives are waging a war on the you might expect him to say that the next Labour Government will stop this. But his emphasis is on holding theresa may to account. Her britain will have more inequality and poverty than what we saw in the thatcher years. No conservative Prime Minister should ever be given a free hand. The Deputy Leader tom watson insisted he was determined to turn round labours position in the polls but warned of the dangers of a big conservative victory. He said if theresa may still commands the lead in the polls she had at the start she will have a Margaret Thatcher style majority. As labour mps battle to get back to westminster we are seeing a tale of two campaigns. The official one emphasising what labour would do in government and the unofficial one where some candidates tell me they are going beyond what gordon brown and tom watson are saying. They are telling voters they simply are campaigning to become a strong opposition. In some local leaflets there is no mention ofjeremy corbyn. The emphasis is on reining in theresa may. Jeremy corbyn wanted to focus on the election issues. We are doing our best and it is going great. He said he was working flat out for victory and he did not recognise talk of defeat. Is it that senior Labour Figures are now admitting defeat . Not at all. Im out round the whole country putting out a message. We are a party for the many, not the few. We will invest in the nhs, the education system, we will protect our pensions and pensioners and we will ensure there is an expanding economy that works for all. Jeremy corbyn doesnt think he needs to shore up his support but he and his Deputy Leader both agree the party faces a huge challenge to turn the political Tide Beforejune the 8th.

It is a chance for the parents to meet each other and to know that youre in a safe environment, you can ask advice of the other parents, theyve been through similar things and at different points gone through the same things you have, the questions, the explanations of what has happened.
