and felt they had no control over it. they also said they had no trust in the reporting systems on social media platforms. the children in this research said that they wanted the internet to be a safe place to be, but many had to rely on themselves to keep it that way, rather than the adults in charge. now, of course, when a child has been exposed to violence it's really too late — it cannot be unseen. esther ghey knows that all too well. her daughter, brianna, was murdered after her killers were able to access violent content. i would like to see phones that are made suitable for young people. and i really think that if this was in place before, then this could have prevented what happened to brianna. kids are so much more tech savvy and i wasn't aware of what brianna was looking at online. two other studies for ofcom also had similar messaging.

one said suicide, self—harm and eating disorder content was prolific on socials. the other said cyberbullying had a negative impact on children's health. all make for grim reading, but the recurring theme here was the children's lack of trust and confidence in reporting these problems online. shiona mccallum, bbc news. fast food isn't so fast at mcdonald's at the moment. the food chain is experiencing technical problems in some of its restaurants across the world, leaving customers unable to orderfood. the company said they are aware of a technology outage impacting their venues, and that the issue is �*being resolved'. our correspondent sean dilley has the latest. key points beyond acknowledging that they're aware of a technology outage which impacted their restaurants. they said the issue is now being resolved. now, thejournalist in me does pick up on the fact we're talking being sounds like a present tense word.

the outage issue, they say, is not related to a cybersecurity event. just to let you know what we've known, what we know has been happening this morning, mcdonald's had halted operations at many of its stores injapan. we'd heard stories of people sort of working out what order should be costing on pens and papers in the old fashioned way. but there are also technical issues in australia and new zealand. for instance, the new york times said that hong kong was impacted just to take a look at some social media reaction from around the world. and it's certainly all the latest at bbc.co.uk for news and of course, on our news app. but looking at some of the social media, we'd heard reports from some parts of the uk, australia, new zealand, germany and austria where, by the way, for the most part, mcdonald's are unaffected. we know certainly in the uk many of the branches that we've looked at in reigate in victoria and london seem to be unaffected. but anyway, we looked at information

from downdetector which pointed out that there was a little bit of a spike in issue in the mcdonald's app at around 5:00 this morning. some media reporting there were outages in china and sweden, other posts in australia posting on reddit of what they described as major disruption. just having a quick look at x, ted andersson said that he went into a restaurant injapan to find it cash only that i alluded to a little bit earlier. and social media user esther said that mcdonald's in germany is down and it seemed in austria, too. here's the big thing. i'm sure not many people are panicking about the technical outage, but mcdonald's say they're aware of it. it's not a cybersecurity issue. they're working as quickly as they can to restore orders to parts of the world where kiosks and in—person ordering hasn't been working. for the most part, including many of the mcdonald's we've looked at here in the uk,

because at the end, its clients, what they want. they want good customer service, quality and nice, hygienic, and good hygiene. men, they look after themselves a lot, like, they do threading, they do facials, they do beard. they keep the beard, they look after it. sometimes some clients, we spend with them about one and a half hour, two hour. wow, why do you think that is? why not? they are just looking after themselves. a traditional barber or something more modern? something more modern. my wife has a hairdresser who comes at the house and we have it done at the house, so i get like a good deal. i cut it myself. really? really. a numberfour and a cut on top. so very plain for an older man. and how would you describe your barbering style? like this! look at this. there you go. beautiful. given the competition, can traditional salons still cut it? we've been here since 1996, but we have been in wilmslow for far longer.

"oh, that's likely to be another barbers." because some of the newer salons are doing all sorts of things, threading, injections, facials, pedicures. we haven't ventured into that. we're considering maybe bringing in some of those services in the future. but trendy treatments aren't for everyone. facials, pedicures, threading. no, i don't do any of that. how come? just like to get it done and get it over with and crack on with my day. # baby, how you feeling? # feeling good as hell! now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there.
