In history to win back to back european titles. Portugal wins eurovision for the first time, as luciejones delivers the uks best performance for six years. We will discuss that a little later. And helen has the weather. An optimistic weather picture. Still some to clear in the east. Plenty of sunshine coming through with a scattering of showers into the afternoon. Some good spells of dry and sunny weather, strong sunshine in between. I what have more the us and around 15 minutes if you can join me. We will do. Good morning. First, our main story. Most of the Health Organisations in england and scotland that were affected by a Global Cyber Attack are back up and running, but some patients face continued disruption with six trusts in england still affected. Security experts are Warning Workers to protect their devices, in case of a new wave of attacks, as our correspondent Richard Galpin reports. This unprecedented Global Cyber Attack hit the nhs hardest, leading to cancellations and delays at hospitals and gp surgeries across england and scotland. But ministers attending a meeting of the Crisis Response team cobra yesterday concluded that the situation was back under control and the nhs was working as normal again, for the most part. And nhs officials insisted that the disruption was not because they were using old microsoft computer Operating Systems vulnerable to attack. The nhs has some of the most up to date technology in the world. If you look back to december 2015, about one in five devices were using xp but now it is less than one in 20. Although the worse may be over for now, several hospitals like this one here in york are warning that the disruption will continue beyond the weekend. In the wake of such a virulent cyber attack, Security Experts are calling on everyone to take simple measures to protect their computers from hackers demanding ransoms to unlock their computer files. The first one is to make sure that your Security Software patches are up to date. The second is to employ proper and good Antivirus Software and the third and the most important for Ransomware Protection is to back up your data. But britain was just one of over 100 countries hit by the cyber attack. Russia was apparently targeted the most while European Telecommunications and Car Companies were also targeted as were schools and universities in china. Lets speak now to andy moore who is outside the Royal London Hospital, part of Barts Health Trust the biggest in the country, whats the situation there . What are they telling you that this mornings the good news is generally comes from the home secretary amber rudd, shes a 97 of nhs trusts in england are working normally. There are at least seven nhs trust but are still experiencing problems. We have got one more to add to the list and thatis got one more to add to the list and that is the University Hospital of midlands trust. They have confirmed that they are still expressing computer problems. The situation here at barts, the accident and emergency behind me, handwritten notices on the ancient saying they are suffering from it failure and there may be significant delays as a result. The hospitals here are still treating it as a major incident. A similar situation at the main hospital in lowestoft, they were treating us like saying there were long delays at accident and emergency because they had gone back to pen and paper. One has cancelled any routine surgery for tomorrow. The situation in scotland, 13 Health Boards affected that. The Scottish Government says some systems are operating normally, that means presumably some are not. They are confident that everything will be back up and running by tomorrow. Andy, thank you very much for keeping us up to date. The conservatives have announced that new Council Housing will be central to their manifesto, promising to build thousands of new homes. Meanwhile labour has vowed to be tough on tax avoidance. A Robin Hood Tax would raise £26 billion from stamp duty on financial transactions. Lets get more detail now from our Political Correspondent mark lobel who is in our london newsroom. Less disposable pick up with the tories proposal, the return to Council Housing, it would be sold off in ten to 15 years, we are told. Not much other detail . That is right. We are told there is not a target for the number of social homes that needs to be built, Rather Council should show there is a need for social housing their areas. Number ten said they expect birmingham and manchester to be the first areas to take up this scheme. But although no details on the funding, how much is going to be put into it. The clear message is that the conservatives want to when labour voters here. They wanted to squeeze over a Million People on Council Waiting list. As you say, the interesting fact here, those Council Tenants will have the first right of refusal to buy their property. The aim of this scheme is that you sell the property and you cash in on the Property Market at the dip back into social housing. The Labour Proposal Version of Robin Hood Tax, one that we tax be riskier pa rt hood tax, one that we tax be riskier part of the banks, i cannot imagine it would be too popular with the big banks . Not very popular in the city from some of the reaction we have heard, this is a tax of billions on some trading in the city which is destined for Public Services, to pay for health and education policies that labours they are desperately neededin that labours they are desperately needed in the country and they want to tax the richest people and they say it is not a big tax, it is taxes on transactions like shared which raise £3 billion last year. They wa nt to raise £3 billion last year. They want to extend that now to bonds, other Financial Products to bring want to extend that now to bonds, otherFinancial Products to bring in more income. But some in the city saying it will send traders elsewhere, they are saying that with brexit on the way, they fear a double whammy as the City Of London may be hit again. It has been trialled by the eu but has not got very far and right now we hear reaction from both these conservative saying labour could damage the economy this way and the Liberal Democrats vince cable saying that labours Economic Policy is less of robin hood, more mickey mouse. Thank you very much, start of a busy week as those manifestos are lodged. Full coverage across bbc news. As those manifestos are launched. At least four people have died and five others have been seriously injured after a passenger train derailed in northern greece last night. The train was travelling from athens to the countrys second largest city, thessaloniki. Around 100 passengers were aboard the train when it hit a house. Its unclear what caused it to come off the rails. Leeds bradford airport has re opened after police carried out a controlled explosion on a suspicious package. Incoming flights were diverted, and departing flights were delayed, while the item was dealt with after eight oclock last night. Police say the incident is not believed to have been malicious or terror related. Nursing leaders, who are currently considering strike action, have warned that the Nhs In England is dangerously short of the nurses it needs. The rcn union blames the situation on stress and pay, but the conservatives say that whilst theyve been in government, the number of nurses has risen. Heres our health correspondent, jane dreaper. Staff under pressure. The nurses union says it has uncovered a level of nhs vacancies it describes as dangerous. The rcn asked nhs trusts in england for the so called establishment figures, the level of staffing officially considered the right number for patients. The union calculated that 11 of nursing post are unfilled. And around the uk, four out of five Nursing Directors say their hospital relies on goodwill to keep running. What we are finding is there are so many vacancies in our nhs at the moment. What we are also finding is that actually lots more health care assistants, support to our Registered Nurses, are being employed instead of Registered Nurses to fill those gaps. So we are concerned about that dilution of skills as well as the numbers themselves. The union found that vacancies in other parts of the uk were lower but increasing. The conservatives said in response there were thousands more nurses on the wards of acute hospitals in england. Labour described the unions figures are terrible news and said brexit would make recruitment harder. The Liberal Democrats expressed concern that nurses from other European Countries were leaving. Emmanuel macron will be sworn in as french president later today, a week after his Landslide Victory. But the former banker, who only formed his Political Movement a year ago, will face intense challenges to his promised reforms. Lets now speak to our paris correspondent hugh schofield. It was a Landslide Victory but the turnout was poor and millions of ballots were spoiled. So are the french people excited about this moment or not . No, ithink no, i think they are quite excited. There is a lot of opposition to him in the country. He was a man who was elected in the first round of 23 and one in the second round because largely thanks to a big anti marie le pen, and the far right vote. This isa le pen, and the far right vote. This is a big moment in any countrys political history and there is attached to him a sense of optimism. Many people wishing well even if they did not vote for him. He will become president in less than an hour or become president in less than an hourorso, become president in less than an hour or so, the process begins at the Elysee Palace where he arrives with his motorcade and greeted on the steps i Francois Hollande, the man who used to serve as minister. They would be hunted down for a while, swapping Nuclear Codes and then that is the moment macron becomes president s, Francois Hollande as is driven away. There will be a speech, he is inducted as grand master of the order of the Legion Of Honour and then he will have what all president s do which is a walk to lay a wreath. The work begins and that is what everyone will be waiting for because the best decision he has to make and make public will be the naming of a Prime Minister, very important moment. Tomorrow, just as important, the first trip abroad to germany, talking about eu and brexit. Thank you very much. North korea has carried out another Ballistic Missile test, four days after a new president took office in the south.

Portugal has won the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in the history of the competition.

The portuguese singer, who is awaiting a heart transplant, described his win as a victory against fast food music. The uks lucie jones came 15th out of 26, the countrys best result in six years. You can see how far you have walked the mountains behind the oceans crossed. Were you aiming for a particular place . No, ijust didnt want to come last so actually i did really well. Woohoo we will be talking to two major eurovision fans later on. It is approaching 8 15am. Many of the health trust that were affected by fridays Global Attack have had their it systems restores. Dick or the experts say they are using all the majority of nhs trusts in england and scotland are getting and scotland are getting back to normalfollowing fridays cyber attack which hit Computer Systems in around 100 countries. Security experts say theyre using all the tools at their disposal to track down the criminals behind the malicious software. James smith is the Chief Executive of a Cyber Security firm which has been working with the authorities to do just that. He joins us now from the Royal London Hospital which is still experiencing problems. Can you give us the latest on where we are in terms of getting the system is back online . So i think it is important firstly when an organisation such as the nhs is hit by ransomware to look at whether theres anything you can do to having to pay the ransom and they are checking whether their back ups are checking whether their back ups are sufficient, whether they can restore to one of those previous versions. Many of them have been able to do so. But some are still had their systems down and they have to end up paying the ransom. Had their systems down and they have to end up paying the Ransomlj Wa Nted to end up paying the ransomlj wanted to ask you about that, how does one try get control of the system is back . I know you have been looking at the transactions but talk me through, if you might go about not paying the ransom but getting the system back online . So you need to make sure you have got a plan in place, whether your company or an organisation like the nhs. So if you have sufficient back ups, which i have sufficient back ups, which i have taken before your Computer System has become infected, you will be able to restore to those back ups, restored to estate where the malware is not in the system. If you do not have those back ups in place, then you are going to be a tricky situation. You may have to end up paying the ransom. So basically if you have got that back up, you can go to the system as it was before the cyber attack it. That is correct. Let us talk about who is paying what. You have been looking at the transactions in terms of who has been paying this bit coin and out of the way of sending money on the internet, it is difficult and anonymous to trace. You have been looking at who is paying any money thatis looking at who is paying any money that is going into accounts. Absolutely. 0ur that is going into accounts. Absolutely. Our company specialises in treating these payments. We have been watching how much has been paid and so far. Bear in mind the deadline for a lot of the systems that have been locked up is on monday. So we had seen about £30,000 worth of payments coming to date. The payment for each of the mr bigley demanded between 300 and 600. After 70 you 72 hours, the fine stumble. Weird anticipate to see an increase in those final days. We will definitely see an increase in fines we will definitely see an increase infines coming we will definitely see an increase in fines coming in as we approach the second deadline, because the system will be locked forever. M the second deadline, because the system will be locked forever. It is interesting you call them fines, it is blackmail, isnt it . Lets talk about how you can track some of these. Money going into these bit coin accounts, iu able to see it going . I assume there is no way to see whether it is going after that . Bit coin is thought of as anonymous but with the right software, you are able to trace some of the pavements and that is where we specialise. We work with Law Enforcement and companies who been affected to help after the fact, try and identify who the attackers might be, understand where the funds flowing to and, in some cases, in the past, weve been able to recover funds after chasing them to somewhere where the attacker is trying to cash out. So thats out, how hope for your dad in this case you will be able to find out who did it, where the attack came from and get the money back for the people whove paid . We are always hopeful. The funds have not moved. We are keeping a watching eye on it. We are keeping a watching eye on it. We are keeping a watching eye on it. We are communicating with Law Enforcement and as soon as we study the moving, we will bejumping on it and helping them try to figure out who is this. It is good to know there is some hope. James, thank you very much. It is 8 17am. Heres helen with a look at this mornings weather. And optimistic picture this morning. Let us st
