1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Devin Gray, UK correspondents with US now evening to you, Devin, 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Hi there, How bad does the cyber attack at the hospitals? 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's i'm afraid being pretty serious. So this was 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 2: an attack on a third party provider to the National 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 2: Health Service, but it has seen i'm afraid, some pretty 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 2: widespread disruption yesterday and that's going to carry on through 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: to today. We're being warned a critical incident has been declared, 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: with operations being canceled, emergency patients being diverted elsewhere King's 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: College Hospital, GUIs and Saint Thomas's, Royal Brompton Children's Hospital, 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: the Evelina and also some primary care services. In other words, 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: local doctor services have been affected, with a major impact 12 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 2: on the delivery of services, especially blood transfusion and also 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: getting back test results. So as you can imagine if 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: you're in the hospital awaiting a major operation then told 15 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 2: that it's been postponed, very very disappointing. Apparently servers, departments 16 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: rather couldn't connect the main server and so consequently they've 17 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: had to do all this work. Now, the National Health 18 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: Service spending a lot of money on cybersecurity, but in 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: this particular incident, as I mentioned it was partnering with 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: a provider of pathology services called Cinebus. Cinemas say they're 21 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: throwing everything out it to get this sorted. They're very sorry, 22 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: but I'm al sorts of speculation about who it might be, 23 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 2: with some suggesting it is a Russian group behind this 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: cyber attack. 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: Hey, who do you reckon? Won the debate? 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 2: I think that our first prime ministerial debate or first 27 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: general election television debate was pretty close. However, I was 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: surprised to see Rishi Sunac come out quite so punchy. 29 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: Sakir Starmer, a former lawyer, was rather lawyerly for the 30 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: opposition party. A few ums and ours and a few 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: sort of very slow delivery. Neither of them, frankly has 32 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: much charisma, natural TV charisma as it were. But Rishisunac 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: came out really pun and there were some pretty heated exchanges, 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: particularly over tax. The Prime Minister accusing the opposition party 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: Labor of costing every single family in the UK more 36 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: than four and a half thousand dollars in tax a 37 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 2: claimed that the Labor opposition party said was absolute garbage. 38 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: They also clashed over the National Health Service. After all, 39 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: if you've been in charge for fourteen years. You can't 40 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 2: really blame anyone else, although COVID and a doctor strike 41 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: were being blamed. And also immigration, immigration very much back 42 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 2: in the frame since Nigel Farage, the former Brexit leader 43 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: and now they're a form UK leader standing for a constituency, 44 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: suggesting his aim and his demands were zero net migration. 45 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: The other parties trying to think of clear policies about 46 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: trying to sort that out. 47 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: Givin why is Stephen fryin trouble? What's he done well? 48 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: Stne Prize The former president of one of Britain's most 49 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: exclusive clubs, the MCC, the Mariller and Cricket Club, the 50 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: home of Lord's Cricket and it is one with a 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: huge waiting list for people trying to get in. Now 52 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: he was at a literary festival and talked a little 53 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 2: bit about lots of things, including racism at cricket, which 54 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: was what this side event was about. And he spoke 55 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: about the Marylanbune Cricket Club and said, and I quote, 56 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: it stinks of privilege and classicism. He also said, in 57 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: a longer quote, it has a public face that's deeply disturbing. 58 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: Beetroot colored gentleman in yellow and orange blazer sitting in 59 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: this space in front of the long room and looking 60 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: as if they'd come out of an Edwardian cartoon. Well, 61 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: the problem for him is that these comments made at 62 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: a meeting have now gone public and there is in 63 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: the laws and regulations of being a member something about 64 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: bringing the club into disrepute, and it's reported several other 65 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: members have now written to the committee saying they believe 66 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: he has breached that regulation and therefore needs to be suspended. Well, 67 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: an investigation we think is underway, with one member telling 68 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: the local media that basically, you know, he swans around 69 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: as chairman for a whole year and the moment that's 70 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: over he then slags them all off at the Hay 71 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: Literature Festival, and so consequently he could be suspended. We'll 72 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: have to see. I have to say the term show 73 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: voting is probably one that Stephen Fry would rather enjoy 74 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: being described. 75 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: Gavin, thank you very much, appreciate it.
