Voice his condemnation. Translation once again north korea has launched a Ballistic Missile despite strong warnings from the international community. This is unacceptable. They are great threat to our nation and a clear breach of the United Nations Security Council resolution. For the latest lets take you to our correspondent steve evans whos in seoul. We know it was not the dud the previous one was. It travelled 400 miles, 700 kilometres. The previous one went virtually no distance. Not north korea is launching missiles at the rate of one every two weeks and about half fail. This one clearly did not. It seems that whatever threats or inducement come from seoul and washington in particular, the Missile Programme proceeds unabated and that will clearly raise questions, particularly in seoul, where there isa particularly in seoul, where there is a new president who has not been in powerfor a week is a new president who has not been in power for a week yet. Is a new president who has not been in powerfor a week yet. He came in promising or threatening, depending on your point of view, a more conciliatory line towards pyongyang. We will see what moonjae in makes of all these and how much his actions may be tougher than his pre election promises indicated. This happened not long after a north korean diplomat and donald trump said they were open for diplomatic talks . Yes, i would not make too much of that. If you ask anybody pretty well are you prepared to talk about something, they will say, yes, sure we will talk if the conditions are right. The key phrase is if the conditions are right. President trump said he would talk, honoured to talk to pyongyang, if the conditions were right. But the negotiators said north korea would be prepared to talk if the conditions are right. The conditions to be right would have to be Something Like for the us that the north Korea Nuclear arsenal was on the table to be negotiated away or certainly limited in some way and there is absolutely no suggestion in public anyway that that may be so. The iraq talks going on there are, between the yang and former Government Officials of the us. The Administration Says it is nothing to do with us, it is unofficial, but you wonder if feelers are being put out. Thank you very much for the update. The global cyber attack affecting almost 100 countries was unprecedented in scale. Thats the assessment of europes Police Agency euro pol. More than 24 hours after the hack the Authorities Say they are just now getting to grips with the problem. Here in the uk for instance, the government says most hospitals are back running as normal after systems at the National Health service were hit. Daniel sandford has the latest. 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 74 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. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. In greece, at least four people have been killed, near thessaloniki after a train derailed. The train, said to be carrying around a hundred people, was travelling from athens. At least five other people were injured. The cause is still unknown and rescuers are at the site. The Islamist Militant Group boko haram has released a video of four young women who it says chose to stay with them after they were kidnapped from chibok in nigeria. 82 other women and girls who were taken captive were released a week ago. Portugal has won the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time. Salvador sobral sang a ballad to beat 25 other countries to the prize in ukraine. Our correspondent Steve Rosenberg was at the contest in kiev he gave us his thoughts on the result. Portugal has made 49 attempts to win the Eurovision Song Contest and tonight for the first time it won eurovision. Salvador sobral, his lilting ballad won over the nationaljuries and the public across europe, and stormed to victory in tonights Eurovision Song Contest. In second place was bulgaria. Singing for the United Kingdon this year was luciejones, ill never give up on you. She came 15th, thats the united kingdoms best effort since 2011. We actually saw lucie a few minutes ago and she said she was happy with that. She did not want to come last and she did not come last and so she goes away pretty happy. But i think that his years eurovision will be remembered less for the music and more for the mischief because during the interval act, last years winner, jamala, was singing in the interval, a fan holding an Australian Flag climbed up on stage and bared his bottomto jamala, live, in front of 200 million viewers. He was later escorted off by security. Steve rosenberg, bbc news, in kiev. Stay with us here on bbc news, still to come remembering the sacrifice the royals pay tribute to families whove lost a Parent Serving in the armed forces. Lets get more on the cyber attack now. Five nhs trusts are still experiencing serious problems, after Fridays 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 many cancellations and delays in treatment. But, a e departments were not affected. The governments Emergency Committee cobra has been meeting, chaired by the home secretary. 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 of 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 up and running again is proving to be a challenge. A e is working normally. 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. Each one will need reimaging. 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. Jeremy corbyn has denied, that some Top Labour Party members, 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 next month. Meanwhile, the former labour Prime Minister, gordon brown, has urged voters not to give theresa may a blank cheque, to run the country. Our 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 poor. The conservatives are waging a war on the poor. That is the claim from this former Prime Minister. 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. The Liberal Democrats say their Election Manifesto will include proposals to build 300,000 new homes a year, for sale and rent, by 2022. The leader tim farron, also says he would target developers who stockpile land, without building on it. And theresa mays been campaigning in Northern Ireland today.

Souths koreas new president condemns it as a reckless provocation. The Police Agency europol has described the cyber attack on Computer Systems around the world as unprecedented. The funeral has taken place for the romanian tourist who was knocked into the river thames during a Terror Attack in london two months ago. Andreea cristea was pulled from the water with serious injuries and later died in hospital. Khalid masood drove his car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before stabbing a policeman to death. He was later shot by police. Nick thorpe reports from constanta in romania. This should have been her wedding. Instead, it was herfuneral. Andreea cristeas friends and families gathered to remember a life cut short. She and her boyfriend were walking along a bridge in march when a car left the road and hit one pedestrian after another. Andreea was knocked into the thames she died two weeks later. My sister was the most amazing person i can imagine in this world and she was the happiest and she will always be with us and she is not gone. She is not, physically, she will always be with us and with her friends. This was a Traditional Sung Orthodox Ceremony attended by young and old in the town where andreea and herfiance grew up. British diplomats and Police Officers were also present. Mourners lit candles and priests burnt incense. Across the street, a day of sadness for all in romania. One reason why this death has touched romanians so deeply is because almost everybody in this country has a personal connection to the united kingdom. Up to half a Million People work there and many more go there for holidays. It could have been almost anybody strolling that day across Westminster Bridge. From the church, The Funeral Cortege moved to the cemetery in an old turkish neighbourhood of the city. Im here to be together with andreeas family and friends at this time of grief and to celebrate her life and to underline that the uk and romania stand together in the fight against terrorism.

That will then see the handing over of the Famous Nuclear codes. At that point, Emmanuel Macron will be the new president. There will be pageantry with the induction of the new president. There will be a speech at a procession down the shops are lycee, over there. Champs elysees. Then we will see the announcement of the Prime Minister. The body knows who they will be. That persons first job will be to lead the new government into the parliamentary elections, which happened injune. Because that is when Emmanuel Macron needs to get a majority for his programme of reform. The other thing is that of course, he takes his first trip abroad, to germany, to see angela merkel. This will see brexit on the future of the European Union on the top of the agenda. More than 800 children and teenagers who have lost a parent while serving in the armed forces, have attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace. They were welcomed by the duke and Duchess Of Cambridge, and prince harry. Among them, was the widow and son of the solider lee rigby, who was killed in a Terror Attack in 2013.

But its the perfect place, too, for a Childrens Party which is exactly what was happening at Buckingham Palace this afternoon. Freeze dont move 800 children have been invited to the palace by the duke and Duchess Of Cambridge and prince harry for a very special reason. Each of these children have lost the Parent Serving in the armed forces. One of them was jack rigby, the six year old son of fusilier lee rigby, murdered by extremists in london, four years ago. He was with his mother, rebecca. Its a chance for the parents to meet each other and to just know that you are in a safe environment. And, you know, you can ask advice of the other parents. They have been through similar things to you, similar experiences, and at different points gone through the same things you have, the questions, and explanations of what has happened. It is just a fantastic opportunity for both the parents of the children. And the children. They met prince harry who was demonstrating plate spinning. The royalsjoined in, posing for pictures and entertaining the crowd, all of it with a serious message. We, as a family, we as a nation, and we up and down the country will never, ever, everforget about the sacrifices every single one of you made. This event brings together three of the issues they take an interest in, young people, the armed forces, and bereavement. And for a few hours, on the grounds of Buckingham Palace, those wider carers could be put to one side. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. More than Three Million customers in the South East Of England have been told to save water because of a lack of rainfall. The company which supplies parts of the home counties, north london, and kent, say many rivers in the region are at low levels.

So, as we have been hearing, portugal has won the Eurovision Song Contest for the very first time. Sarah corker reviews some of the nights memorable performances. And a warning, there are some Flashing Images in her report. It isa it is a tv spectacle as much as it isa it is a tv spectacle as much as it is a music competition. The city is 62nd Eurovision Song Contest had all the elaborate outfits and staging, energetic dancing, and plenty of theatre. Among the more intriguing performances, italys entry, featuring a breakdancing gorilla, was a strong favourite. While azerbaijan upped the Antewith A Man in a horses head on the ladder. Ante with. 26 acts performed in front of a huge global audience, in the ukranian capital, kiev. But one country missing was russia, boycotting the event after ukraine barred its contestant from entering the country. Some of the nights more memorable acts included yodelling from romania. A catchy Crowd Pleaser from moldova. And the swedes made use of some treadmills in their number. I will never give up. The united kingdoms hopes rested on former x factor contestant, luciejones. Give me your hand and hold on. 3, 2, 1 stop voting now then came the serious part of the evening, the voting and the tension. Wow 376 points for portugal and that means that portugal is the winner in the end, portugal won by a clear margin, with a simple ballad from 27 year old salvador sobral. It is the first time the country has ever won the competition, and this was the singers reaction. I want to say that we live in a world of disposable music, Fast Food Music without any content and i think this could be a victory for music, with people that make music that actually means something. Music is not fireworks, music is feeling. But at the other end of the table, in last place, spain got just five points for their beach inspired song. Do it for your love, do it for your lover. Winners or loses, for the contests diehard fans, it was another memorable night of eurovision. Sarah corker, bbc news. From eurovision, we now go to the weather. Hello there. We could do with some rain for many of our gardens and we have got some of it. A Weather Front pushing its way west to east across the country. This is how we ended the day on saturday in angus. Quite a bit of cloud around there. Out of that cloud, we are seeing some outbreaks of rain but sunday should be a day of sunshine and a few scattered showers, too. Here is the Weather Front that brought the rain to many of us overnight in the west, clearing to the east throughout the course of sunday morning. So a return to sunshine across many parts of the country. That rain will linger in the north east of scotland. This is 9 00 in the morning, particularly for the northern isles, north east of mainland scotland, too. Some sunshine towards dumfries and galloway, towards Northern Ireland, too. A bright start to sunday here. A bit cloudier down the east coast of england, and you could catch a showerfirst thing, but actually much of Northern England and wales look dry with some sunshine. You can just see a few showers starting to crop up across central parts of wales. Almost anywhere could catch a shower later in the day but i think predominantly it is a dry picture through sunday morning. Slightly cloudier skies for kent, up towards norfolk, with that lingering Weather Front. But the front clears fairly quickly towards the east and then across all of the country, its Just Sunshine and a few scattered showers here and there. So you could catch a shower almost anywhere but they are few and far between, particularly along the south coast, its largely sunny here. And temperatures 15 20 degrees, a pleasant day where you do dodge the showers. Staying pretty wet up towards the northern isles. For some of sundays featured Premier League games, it looks largely dry but, again, there is a chance that one or two showers could sneak past at times. Through the course of sunday evening, the showers ease away, so its looking dry if you have a barbecue planned for sunday evening, for instance, and then overnight and into monday, the next batch of wet weather arrive from the west. The next batch of wet weather arrive from the west. Its going to be reasonably mild and frost free, i think, wherever you are as we start the new working week. But for monday, this area of rain is with us for much of the day. Heaviest towards the north and west where it will also be quite windy. Heaviest towards the north and west where it will also be quite windy. The rain only quite light and patchy down towards the south east where we really could do with some rainfall but the area of rain edging its way slowly northwards and eastwards through the day and well see temperatures still up there in the mid to high teens. So inbetween any spells of rain a reasonably pleasant sort of day. But low pressure stays in charge, bringing us the unsettled breezy and showery theme on monday and low pressure sticks around for much of the week ahead. Into tuesday too we see this Weather Front bringing further outbreaks of rain at times. So tuesday into wednesday it is looking unsettled but the temperatures still remaining reasonably mild, up to around 21 degrees on tuesday. This is bbc news, the headlines north korea has test fired what appears to be another Ballistic Missile. The south Korean Military said an Unidentified Projectile had been launched from the north west and flew about 700 kilometres. Souths koreas new president has condemned it as a reckless provocation. Europes Police Agency, europol, says fridays cyber attack was unprecedented in its scale. It says the hunt for the hackers will be a complex International Investigation. The Attack Hit Organisations in at least 99 countries. Emmanuel macron will be sworn in as frances next president in a ceremony in paris later, following his election victory last weekend
