president confronts a dark moment in his political career, the man he beat four years ago stands triumphant. donald trump, a convicted felon, has no advanced one of the most stunning comebacks in political history. let's talk to nomia. you are there in the hall in the aftermath. how has it been received, the speech? the the aftermath. how has it been received, the speech?— the aftermath. how has it been received, the speech? the big moment ofthe received, the speech? the big moment of the convention _ received, the speech? the big moment of the convention is _ received, the speech? the big moment of the convention is when _ received, the speech? the big moment of the convention is when the - of the convention is when the balloons come down and there's still a lot of people behind me and they are popping the balloons and basically enjoying the atmosphere but that was a very long speech, the longest speech, convention speech and half a century. last i think more than an hour 25 minutes. donald trump beat the previous owner of that record, himself, in 2016, when his speech was one hour 15. there were some members of the audience that were looking restless and slightly bored, dare i say but for

the most part when i went out afterwards, when the speech had wrapped up, people were saying they were excited and they were energised by him and moved and they felt he had was changed, he looked affected by what had happened on saturday and certainly with all that at the start of the speech but it very much turned into a trump rally where he does go off and ad lib and goes off on tangents and starts talking about different things and he returned to the language as i mentioned in the report that is seen as pretty divisive, especially when it comes to domestic issues, foreign issues as well. but look, this is where the party faithful were, this is where top supporters who, as far as they are concerned, can do no wrong word. i think that assassination attempt on him on saturday has really made the party unify behind him in a way that perhaps hadn't been there

before. of course, that is something that will hugely concerned the democratic party who, in contrast right now, are in a bit of disarray. nomia, good to speak to you. enjoy the balloon popping. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky will address the cabinet in downing street this morning, the first foreign leader to do so in person in nearly 30 years. iain watson joins us. good morning to you. interesting, this, isn't it, that this is the first in 30 years but it comes after the meeting at blenheim yesterday. comes after the meeting at blenheim esterda . ., �* , comes after the meeting at blenheim esterda . . �* , ., , ., yesterday. that's right, european political community _ yesterday. that's right, european political community and - yesterday. that's right, european political community and zelensky yesterday. that's right, european - political community and zelensky was there as well but the meeting today is as much about symbolism as it is about substance and effectively saying there has been a change of government but it is telling president putin there is no change of policy on ukraine. president zelensky was the first foreign

visitor officially to meet keir starmer since he became prime minister and the first since 1997 with bill clinton meeting the new labour minister tony blair and addressed the cabinets then which was back in the days when people were talking about a peaceful end and the into the cold war so how things have changed but as for the substance of the meeting, they will be discussing ramping up weapons production inside ukraine and western suppliers, they will be discussing what is called russia's shadow fleet, ships that fly, sail under a flag of convenience and have cargo of oil which is attempting to get around the sanctions on russia. uk government have announced it is taking further action might today but i wouldn't be surprised if they are also talking about the guy we heard from earlier in the programme, donald trump, it would happen if he wins election later this year, given his scepticism and his vice president pickjd vance's scepticism on ukraine and in a bbc interview,

zelensky said last night basically, it would be hard work dealing with a new trump administration but he also emphasised ukrainians are hard workers. ., ., emphasised ukrainians are hard workers. ., ~ , ., ., workers. indeed. thank you. iain watson. parents should not take their children on term—time holidays and have a responsibility to keep them in school, the new education secretary has told the bbc. in her first interview in the role, bridget phillipson said there would "have to be consequences" for parents who fail to do so. our education editor branwen jeffreys reports. holiday was everything the melling family hoped for — mock swimming under the blue skies in egypt february. the parents were fined £240 february. the parents were fined £2110 for an unauthorised term time holiday. many families will have made the decision already because of the cost of living. so i asked the new education secretary for england about finding parents for holidays

in her first interview about finding parents for holidays in herfirst interview in about finding parents for holidays in her first interview in the job. about finding parents for holidays in herfirst interview in thejob. i in her first interview in the job. i think parents have a responsibility and their children should be in school. fines are an important part of that system and i think it is in bottom part of the contract that we have we honour our responsibilities because children not in school doesn'tjust have an impact on both individual children, means teachers often have to recover material because children have missed out. parents have told the bbc that they would rather pay a fine of a few thousand pounds than pay £3000 more on a holiday. can you understand those decisions when the families financial pressure? i those decisions when the families financial pressure?— financial pressure? i understand families are _ financial pressure? i understand families are under _ financial pressure? i understand families are under pressure - financial pressure? i understand families are under pressure but| families are under pressure but parents should not be taking the children out of school during term time for holidays. they should not be doing that and should they do it, they will have to be consequences. the new government also wants to look at how to get more creative subjects in schools. at this gateshead secondary, pupils can choose from more than half a dozen.

jefferies, bbc news. it's 615, friday morning. here's simon with a look at this morning's weather.

some heavy showers or the southwest, cool air will start to come in behind, notices front as it sweeps

eastward as we go into sunday. but hot weather will gradually push waves east but during hot weather were pushed to the east but during saturday, very heavy showers and thunderstorms coming their way into south—west england, wales, northern ireland, western scotland. we can see some showers for eastern areas on saturday but still very warm here. temperature is 25, 20 7 degrees. further north and west, the temperature is coming down a bit so more like 20

in parts of east wales and northern parts of england and once again temperatures 15 to 21 degrees further north and west. still some showers across eastern areas into the day, elsewhere dry weather with sunshine and one or two showers in the north—west. but a cooler and fresher day for many. two weeks, 100 kids, countless activities and it has been blocked out for months. yellow macro i'm turning people away who use me macro for after—school clubs to do occur or who have used us previously and they asked to squeeze them in. if they asked to squeeze them in. if they delay occur we squeeze everyone in that aston said of the 20 we have paid i could easily fill 60 spaces as full day care. use plain white.

during her time there is a before and after school club to help the local schools whose wraparound care is completely oversubscribed. many of the children will be attending the holiday club that takes place here during the summer, but parents are already booking in to half term holiday clubs around october in february survey suggests availability and costs have increased across england, wales and scotland. a weekly holiday club is now around £175 per week for one child. a rise of 6%, with wales having the most expensive provision, rising by 15% this year. providers are trying to keep costs down. what we are hearing from our members and those we are working with is the cost of delivering that service is somewhere between ten and 15% on average. we have some outliers where they have gone up significantly

more, but where the costs are increasing by ten to 15%, we are only passing on 3% as a price rise. we are insulating families from the cast and they are trying to keep businesses afloat as well as keeping the cost down to families. for these working mums, the cost of the summer holidays can add up and for danny, clubs are not an option. i would love to be able to create that stability and structure that comes with a school time and build that into holidays but from a financial perspective it is just not feasible when there are three of them. the english, scottish and welsh government say they are providing free spaces during the summer for low income families, and are investing more in early years childcare to help working parents. many skills are now finishing up for the summer. the parents, the season ofjuggling begins. let's look at the papers. first of all the times

they prepare to play wembley stadium. forget parklife, this is stadium life. to the end is a behind the scenes look at blur getting ready for last summer's shows at wembley. good evening, wembley. we've been waiting for this moment all our lives. the band reuniting after an eight—year hiatus. this is the view you got on stage at wembley. it's impressive. well, sure. it's wembley. sold out wembley, isn't it? what sort of memories does that bring back? um... well, it's more like a dream now, to be honest with you. i've been going around the world saying the thing about wembley is it's... it's actually quite a small footprintjust built around the football pitch and isn't much bigger. so you can actually see the smiles on people's faces. looking at that, i've been lying. you can't. a couple of them are actually here tonight. i don't know how they manage it or why they care, but something's

happened in their minds. this is a brotherhood that has been sustained by our musical relationship. i hope i've made the rest of the band proud. - blur gave us their only interview about the film ahead of a special screening. bang on, sir. thank you. and they all agreed damon should do his part separately to stop him hogging things. damon, wembley. why did it mean so much to you to play wembley stadium? well, we've never played it before. we didn't really intend to play it again. it wasn't like part of a tour where we were playing lots of stadiums. it was, uh, the best show we've ever done. i mean, inasmuch as 90,000 people can feel exclusive, it was an exclusive thing. it wasn't. .. it...

only the people the two nights who went there will have experienced that. we didn't replicate it anywhere else. i remember getting in the van and texting the tour manager, saying, "we're on our way to wembley," and i was like, "oh yeah." and i started singing it, and i was with the kids and they were like, "shut up, dad, shut up dad!" and then we came into view... we came into view. see those those fabled arches. and, you know, it's monumental. it is actually a monument. it's so emblematic. and i went quiet at that point. and that's when the kids started singing. i suppose sometimes you think its kind of get used to playing those big gigs and it gives you a sense of the scale and how much it means. were you part of the generation when blur it

oasis? white macro you can hear more from blur in colin paterson's full interview with them at ten—to—nine this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. queen's hospital in romford has warned that their a&e is so busy that treating patients in corridors — something that used to happen only in winter emergencies — has now become common practice. the a&e department at the hospital, which is close to the new health secretary's constituency, was built for around 300 patients a day, but is now frequently seeing double that number come through the doors, leading to more patients being treated in corridors. it's exceptionally hard on our patients and our relatives. i mean, i think it's... i don't know how you explain to people what we're having to do. i mean, i think they do understand why it's happening, but it doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it acceptable. i mean, you can apologise as often as you want, but it doesn't make it better, does it? and it's... it's a reality — you can see here we've got ten patients today,

and that's ten patients too many. and we'll be speaking to the new health secretary wes streeting today — tune in to our 6:30 programme for that interview. thames water has been fined more than half a million pounds injust more than 320 roadworks carried out by the water company took longer thames water apologised for the disruption. issued by the uk health security agency, the yellow alert means the victoria and albert museum has recruited four british swifties to become the first taylor swift superfan advisers to the institution. more than 1,000 people applied for the role after it was advertised earlier this year. a number of objects on loan

wrongly used by train companies. he'll consider a handful of test cases today, which could then have a wider impact. you look at a few test cases and what happens is relevant to a lot of people. what happens is relevant to a lot of --eole. , , what happens is relevant to a lot of neale, , ,., people. this is about the technicality _ people. this is about the technicality about - people. this is about the technicality about the - people. this is about the | technicality about the way alleged fare dodging has been prosecuted when people have not paid the penalty, lost the appeal. it is about what happens next. if you travel by train without a valid ticket or don't pay the correct fare you have to pay a penalty of up to £100 although it is less if you pay early. if a passenger loses an appeal and still doesn't pay the penalty, train operators can prosecute them for alleged fare evasion. in some cases that is a fast track process, the single

justice procedure it allows minor cases to be heard behind closed doors rather than in open court. this came on in 2016 and the government allowed train companies to use this procedure. here is the technicality. many cases were brought under a law called the regulation of railways act 1889. it has since emerged that the train operators as private prosecutors are not allowed to use this law with the fast—track. that has led to six test cases and appeals, and have deemed to be probably unlawful, meaning another 75,000 may potentially be affected. the chief magistrate will consider cases of rail fare evasion brought under the fast—track procedure. the transport correspondent has been to open the

leader nobody saw coming. what a day we had yesterday and what a story for dan brown. he came through qualifying just to play here. he had never played in the open before and on a day where a lot of the biggest names in golf struggle, he was head and shoulders above everybody else. the shock of shane lowry, finishing his round last night in near darkness at around 9:30pm and he sits top of the leaderboard. might not want to take a picture but what a moment for him. it was a day where everybody seemed to battle this tricky course but they were notjust battling the course, they were battling the elements. troon beat the best of them yesterday, but dan brown cracked the code. he was flawless — by the time he came off the course, the galleries were almost empty, but friends and family saw him play the round of his life.

a birdie on the last, and he leads the open. it feels great, um, but i'm trying not... i'm trying to sort of keep my feet on the ground a little bit. um, i don't want to... we've only played one round of the tournament — there's still another three rounds left — so it's a long way to go. shane lowry�*s one off the lead — the open champion five years ago was also bogey—free. whilst they made it look easy... such an ask. ..rory mcilroy didn't. he fell into royal troon's many traps. he could sense another major slipping away. he's so far off the lead on seven—over — will he even make it into the weekend? um... i mean, all i need to focus on is tomorrow, and try to make the cut. that's all i can focus on. tiger woods also had a difficult day. he's raised the claretjug three times, but raising his game to the level now required — that's another matter. out of bounds on the famous railway hole, and out of contention. he could be on the last train home tonight. dan brown, though — he's got big plans for the weekend. olly foster, bbc news,

at royal troon. what around it was from dan brown. we are at the eighth hole, the most famous one here. it is called the postage stamp, one of the shortest in the world of golf, just 120 yards. the tea is to the right, you are on a raised platform, the amphitheatre all around and you are hitting to this tiny narrow green behind but that is not the full story. we have this coughing bunker, six feet below the green. then you can't see another bunker down there thatis can't see another bunker down there that is ten feet below the green and more than 50 players found the bunker there yesterday. rory michael rye was one of them. it is shout out of the bunker and it rolled back in. that is the challenge of this course, of links golf. we don't

expect too much rain today but the wind already at this time in the morning is swirling around off of the firth of clyde and that will make life very challenging for the best golfers in the world. will the likes of rory michael the cut, will dan brown maintain his lead? we will see as they tee off in about an hour. . see as they tee off in about an houn ., , , see as they tee off in about an hour. ., , , ., ~ hour. that is why we love it. be careful, hour. that is why we love it. be careful. you _ hour. that is why we love it. be careful, you are _ hour. that is why we love it. be careful, you are close _ hour. that is why we love it. be careful, you are close to - hour. that is why we love it. be careful, you are close to the - hour. that is why we love it. be i careful, you are close to the coffin bunker. england's cricketer should thank arsenal's goalkeeper, aaron ramsdale, for their impressive opening to the second test according to the star of the first day ollie pope. pope top scored with 121, against west indies at trent bridge, and is a big arsenalfan, and said ramsdale who was in the england squad at the euros, and was in the the crowd watching yesterday, was his lucky charm. england were bowled out for a16 so very much on top when play resumes at 11 this morning — england already lead the 3—match series 1—0. so a tough long day in the field for

the west indies yesterday — but they know how to celebrate when they take a wicket. kevin sinclair showing off his gymnastic ability after taking the wicket of harry brook. this is so that's the current england team — but we might have had a glimpse into the future yesterday. this is 16 year old rocky flintoff — some of former england captain andrew — becoming the youngest player to make a century for the england under 19s in their second test against sri lanka at cheltenham, doing a good job of living up to the family name. with the paris olympics a week away, britain's cameron norrie will probably be hoping to avoid rafael nadal in the men's singles event. the pair met yesterday in sweden — with the spaniard coming out on top — winning in straight sets to book his place in the quarter finals. the tennis gets under way at the olympics in eight days' time. another stage down in the tour de france — and another stage closer to a third title for tadej pogacar. he has retained his overall lead of over three minutes —

with just three stages remaining. but the final trial is different, time trial. but stage eighteen belonged to an emotional victor campenarts. moments after claiming the biggest win of his career the belgian celebrated with a video call to his month old baby and partner, who he dedicated his victory to. phoebe gill is only 17 and still studying hard for her a—levels next year but could become one of the most famous faces at the paris olympics, which begin a week today. the teenager will be the youngest british track athlete to take part in the olympic games for more than 40 in the olympic games for more than a0 years. the student from st albans who is set to make history at the paris olympics. while her schoolmates take a holiday halfway through their a—levels, 17—year—old phoebe gill will be the youngest athlete on the british olympic team in over a0 years — a childhood dream she never thought possible just a few months ago.

my coach mentioned it to me at the start of the season, actually, that there was a possibility, and ijust couldn't believe it, i was like, "what? that's silly!" but now i'm actually, like, going to this event, i've actually got through, it doesn't feel like i've gotten through — i still feel like i need to, like, prove myself in some sort of way, and ijust need to let it sink in that i'm actually going. phoebe started to believe when she broke a long—standing under—18 800m european record in belfast in may, in the middle of preparing for mock a—level exams at school. i remember being on the plane back and seeing all the instagram posts and i was like, "oh, it was a record — wow, that's amazing." and then i was back in the classroom pretending like nothing had happened. and i think it's really good because sometimes when you do a race like that, it can constantly be in your head and you're thinking about it. so it's been good to — you know, having to focus on studies whilst everything's been going on.

a month later, phoebe confirmed her place on the olympic team by winning the british 800m title at the uk championships in manchester... phoebe gill takes the win! ..beating established stars and her idols — the likes ofjemma reekie. back in december, i went to lea valley for an indoor training session, and jemma was actually there, and i was asking for a photo because i was such a fan. and then to be racing alongside her was just incredible. and the fact that we just used each other to get to the line, i think it was... it really pushed me to finish. then coming away with the win was the most undescribable thing that could have happened. i started journaling — which i'd never done before — to just get everything out. journaling — do you mean writing stuff down? yeah, yeah. on a phone or actually with a pen? with an actual pen! oh, right! laughter. i think sport is 70% mental and 30% physical, actually. phoebe only got started in middle—distance running seven years ago — coming from, originally, swimming and then cross—country. she came to the track and she just glided effortlessly over the track, and i've only seen that once before. any athlete can do — you know, can be incredibly good, but there's only a couple of athletes that i've seen that just glide effortlessly. phoebe was like that, age ten.

despite her record—breaking run up to the olympics, phoebe's very keen to keep her feet very much on the ground — by deciding not to go away to some pre—olympic training camp or to paris early, but to stay here with her mates on her home—from—home track at st albans, right until the last minute before her event begins. i think it's really good to keep the normality for as long as possible. it's great that, after a hard session, we canjust have banter with each other and just have a laugh. this is a far cry from what many elite athletes are used to — a grassroots club which has endured a turbulent few years since the council cut its track funding, and where the only facilities are portaloos and kit containers. the chances of it happening in st albans is just crazy. yeah, yeah, yeah. like, it's like a... it's like a winning lottery ticket. just how it happens to be at this, at this time, and you're you're here at the same time. it's crazy. i'm so immensely. proud of her, like... when i saw her do that, tears came to my eyes. in the qualification race. like any athlete, there are huge sacrifices... crisps — i've cut out crisps since december and it's

been such a struggle. cheese and onion, ready salted, and prawn — prawn cocktail, actually — it's a big go—to — but i haven't had that in so long. aw. it's just... i'm missing it. it's worth it to get a taste of the olympic track at just 17. i just can't wait to share this, like, hotel and the olympic village with all these different athletes that i've been watching for so many years. once the gun goes off, itjust feels like me and the track, and, like, i'm the only person on that track and i just can't wait to run with people i've been watching on the tv for so long! keeping her feet keeping herfeet on keeping her feet on the ground by staying training right up to the last minute when she has to go to paris with her team—mates because she is there as part of the running club family, even if it is a grassroots club, for the love of the running. grassroots club, for the love of the runninu. m, ., grassroots club, for the love of the runninu. n,, ., .,. ., grassroots club, for the love of the runninu. ., ., running. most of me macro don't get to be that close _ running. most of me macro don't get to be that close to _ running. most of me macro don't get to be that close to a _ running. most of me macro don't get to be that close to a seriously - running. most of me macro don't get to be that close to a seriously fast i to be that close to a seriously fast runner. ., ., ., , runner. you were running alongside. i was runner. you were running alongside. i was running — runner. you were running alongside. i was running alongside _

scotland. cloud around the irish sea coast, one or two spots of drizzle. mist and fog patches elsewhere but it should be a clear start to the day and plenty of sunshine into the afternoon. this is the idea of the temperatures, mid to high 20s mostly. 32 is possible in one or two locations, parts of northern hertfordshire, into cambridgeshire, but widely those temperatures getting up to 25 to 28 celsius. it will be cooler the further north and west you go. the moray firth, 23 degrees but elsewhere about 15 to 18 celsius. through tonight, the rain will continue to move into parts of scotland, northern ireland, bit of cloud around wales, the south—west but a pretty warm and muggy night to come, temperatures no lower than 1a to 16 degrees to start off the weekend. over the weekend we will start to see changes. low pressure

situated to the north, we have this weather front which will bring some pretty heavy and thundery rain to the western areas but that weather front will continue to move eastward as we go into sunday and that will eventually sweep away the hottest of the air. it will turn cooler over the air. it will turn cooler over the weekend. on saturday watch out for some heavy and thundery rain moving across wales, south—west england into western scotland. if few showers to eastern areas but some sunshine here, still probably about 25 to 27 degrees across the east but elsewhere a bit fresher, 19 to 21 or 22 celsius. by sunday, that thundery rain can still be across eastern areas across england and it will eventually clear. a few showers into northern and western areas but for most on sunday it is looking dry. again some bright and sunny spells but you can see at this point that hot air has completely disappeared so temperatures down to

about 20, 20 2 degrees in the south—east. further north, 17 to 19. there was a more typical temperatures for the time of year so the average for the time of year as we go through some day. into next week, it will turn more unsettled again. there will be some showers at times. temperature is about 17 to 23 or 2a degrees. again, pretty typical july weather as we go through next week and i know many schools in england and wales particularly have broken up for the summer holidays now so if you are looking at the weather forecast, now so if you are looking at the weatherforecast, it is not looking too bad in the week ahead. some rain at times and temperatures fairly typical. not looking too bad. not bad, not cool. it is typical. not looking too bad. not bad, not cool.— typical. not looking too bad. not| bad, not cool._ have bad, not cool. it is not cool! have ou not bad, not cool. it is not cool! have you got a — bad, not cool. it is not cool! have you got a favourite _ bad, not cool. it is not cool! have you got a favourite beach - bad, not cool. it is not cool! have you got a favourite beach in i bad, not cool. it is not cool! have you got a favourite beach in the i bad, not cool. it is not cool! have i you got a favourite beach in the uk? it is you got a favourite beach in the uk? it is called _ you got a favourite beach in the uk?

i mean, i think they do understand why it's happening, but it doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it acceptable. i mean, you can apologise as often as you want, but it doesn't make it better, does it? and it's... it's a reality — you can see here we've got ten patients today, and that's ten patients too many. and we'll be speaking to the new health secretary wes streeting today — tune in to our six thirty programme for that interview. thames water has been fined more than half a million pounds in just over two years by wandsworth council for completing roadworks late. more than 320 roadworks carried out by the water company took longer than the agreed deadline. thames water apologised for the disruption. a heat health alert is in place for london until 11pm tomorrow. issued by the uk health security agency, the yellow alert means the hot weather is likely to impact vulnerable groups such as young children and the elderly. temperatures are expected to peak today at 30 degrees.

degrees in some spots this afternoon with those southerly winds. a fine evening to come, clear skies and another mile and muggy night with more in the way of cloud building in the early hours. holding up at around 15 to 18 degrees so it might be a difficult night for sleeping. looking ahead to the weekend late on saturday and saturday night we are expecting them to arrive in from the west. saturday through the day should be largely dry for many with some spells of sunshine, chance of thundershowers into the afternoon and rain arrives on saturday night, becoming fresher on saturday. that's it, head to our website to find out how the memory of tessa jowell unites three new mps. we're back in half an hour. see you soon. bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. a night of serious disorder in leeds.

widely shared on social media. other fires were started under bricks were thrown. home secretary yvette cooper wrote on social media, i am appalled at the shocking scenes and the attacks on police vehicles and public transport in leeds tonight, disorder of this nature has no place in our society. by midnight, police had withdrawn and the road reopened. as we drove into the area, there were hundreds of people on the street, the air heavy with smoke. quarter past midnight, and this is just next to harehills lane junction, and this will be one of theissues junction, and this will be one of the issues of the night, the burnt out bus that we saw in flames earlier, but what is happening now is the community are rallying around, trying to put it out, we saw someone dragging a wheelie bin full of water, and you can see they are bailing buckets of water under the

flames, trying to cool things down. in the small hours, police returned, this time with west yorkshire fire service. whatever anger had provoked the trouble, it had long since dissipated, to be replaced by confusion, even disbelief from people who live here. it might have only lasted a few hours, but the legacy of these violentjuly evening will account for much longer. it is a busy morning already here in harehills as the clean up after the disturbance gets under way in earnest, but of course this is a big headache, the burnt out remains of a double—decker bus tells its own sorry story. as well as the clean—up, doubtless questions about what was the triggering incident for the violence, which escalated so quickly onto the main road through this district of the city. many people last night saying to me that it was connected to a family which was having its children taken away ijy was having its children taken away by the council authority. now, we

should say at the moment that is purely speculation, we do not have any confirmation on that at all, we are waiting foran any confirmation on that at all, we are waiting for an official update from west yorkshire police, but at the moment here in harehills, it is a case of clearing up on trying to get back to life as normal. around 5am this morning, donald trump was winding up that speech to his rally, and it is clearly a very significant moment in us politics. like mackie has broken records with the length of it, and there were certainly things to take out from the speech. donald trump said god was on his side when he survived an assassination attempt by a gunman at a rally on saturday. the former president was speaking at the republican national convention — his first big speech since the attempt on his life. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal has the latest. the republican party is now

donald trump spoke for a record length of time, beating his own record, when he previously spoke for an hour and 15 minutes long. there were members of the audience looking restless and slightly bored, dare i say, but for the most part when i went afterwards, when the speech had wrapped up, people said they were excited, energised and moved, it felt like he looked affected by what had happened on saturday and we certainly saw that at the start of the speech, but it turned very much into a trump rally, where he does ad lib. and go off on tangents and start talking about different things. he returned to the divisive language, especially when it comes to domestic issues, foreign issues as well. but look, this is where the

party faithful were, this is why trump supporters who, as far as they are concerned, can do no wrong, were, and i think the assassination attempt on him on saturday has really made the party unified behind him in a way that perhaps it hadn't been left once before. and of course thatis been left once before. and of course that is something that will hugely concerned the democratic party, who in contrast right now are in a bit of disarray. ukraine's president, volodomyr zelensky, will address the cabinet in downing street this morning — the first foreign leader to do so in person in nearly 30 years. our political correspondent iain watson joins us now. this is a significant moment, isn't it came back it is a follow—on from the meeting in blenheim of various leaders yesterday. that the meeting in blenheim of various leaders yesterday.— leaders yesterday. that is right, at blenheim palace _

leaders yesterday. that is right, at blenheim palace yesterday - leaders yesterday. that is right, at blenheim palace yesterday foreign j blenheim palace yesterday foreign leaders met and president zelensky got support from most european leaders, and this meeting is more about symbolism than substance. case dharma talks about change and wants to emphasise that when it comes to ukraine, there will be no change in policy from the previous government. the last foreign leader to address the cabinet was bill clinton, when tony blair had just taken over. the substance of this meeting was discussing increasing weaponry within ukraine and to ukraine and increasing the supply of ammunition to ukraine, as it tries to hold off the russian advance. they will also discuss taking on what is called the russian shadow fleet, sailing under a flag of convenience, attempting to breach the oil sanctions against

russia. uk government will announce it has identified some of these ships and will be banning them from british waters. i imagine they will also discuss the prospect of a donald trump presidency. in an interview, zelensky conceded it would be hard work dealing with a trump administration, but he added that ukrainians are hard workers. the education secretary says parents have a responsibility on term—time holidays. in herfirst interview in the role, bridget phillipson says despite many feeling financial pressure due to the cost of living, there would "have to be consequences" for parents who take their children out of school during term—time for cheaper holidays. i understand that families are under pressure, but parents should not be taking their children out of school for term time holidays, and should they do it, there will have to be

consequences, that is a well—established practice that is here to stay. the well-established practice that is here to stay-— here to stay. the new edge and second ba _ here to stay. the new edge and second ba -- — here to stay. the new edge and second ba -- new— here to stay. the new edge and second ba -- new education - second ba —— new education secretary, they are all new, aren't they by mac a little later we are looking at this time next week, the start of the olympic games, which is another of these great summer events, in paris, of course, so we will be looking ahead to the olympics, mike is here with the sport this morning, alistair brownlee, double olympic gold medallist, will bejoining us on brownlee, double olympic gold medallist, will be joining us on the sofa to reflect and look ahead to what will be a terrific occasion coming up, that is at 7:50am. meanwhile, now you need to listen to simon, because for many people, they will be delighted with what you have to say by mac they will be, after a

pretty cool few weeks, some proper heat, some may be thinking it is too hot, because temperatures could be reaching 32 celsius, and this is one of the places where we might say the highest temperatures today, in cambridge, look at the boat houses, beautiful blue skies to start the day, already pretty warm. very warm for many, sunshine for most as well, but there are, as always in the uk some exceptions. in the north and west of scotland we have got cloudy skies, outbreaks of rain in the north—west of scotland. a drier day at royal troon today. elsewhere, lots of sunshine, temperatures in the high 20s,

lots of sunshine, temperatures in the high 205, 30-32 c lots of sunshine, temperatures in the high 20s, 30—32 c is possible in parts of the home counties. this is the average for the time of year, so widely above average for this time of year. through this evening and tonight, brian will continue to move southwards and eastwards, coming into wales and the south—west. the heat will disappear over the weekend, a weather front is moving in from the west, and we will see fresher air, wind is coming from a westerly direction, so that all disappears by sunday. the weather front will also bring heavy, potentially thundery rain to parts of the country. look at the brighter colours, really indicative of the heavy rain moving eastwards. showers

in eastern areas, 25—26, very warm still, fresher with highs of 17—19. by still, fresher with highs of 17—19. by sunday, the fresh air moving to all areas, temperatures like the low 20s by sunday, about average for the time of year. we are talking about phone bills, when they come to you in the middle of the contract and say they are going up. there are new rules that have just been set out by the regulator, ofcom. many people who have a mobile phone, broadband or pay tv will have noticed that the price often jumps during the contract, and these rules are about making those price rises

clearer and easier to understand. companies will have to state are about making those price rises clearer and easier to understand. companies will have to state of clearly at the beginning of the contract how much it will go up and when, setting it out in pounds, rather than as a percentage. the regulator found that people were confused, and they say that it puts uncertainty and risk on the customer, and it says that is unfair at a time when household budgets are stretched. as we have seen over the last couple of years, as we often speak about, inflation has been higher than we have been used to, and as a result of the contract price rises were bigger than in previous years. these new rules coming from january next year. we should say that some providers have already moved to introduce fixed

price increases for customers. one word of caution, though, a fixed price increase could mean you end up paying more than you would when inflation is lower. a fixed contract with £30, if that goes up by £3, a 10% increase at a time when inflation is much lower than that. but at least you know! can i ask an obvious question to mike why don't they just tell you obvious question to mike why don't theyjust tell you how much it is going to be every month for the whole duration of the contract wouldn't that solve the problem of saying it will probably go up to mac just tell you how much it is going to be. ~ , ., ., ., to be. well, they said that out at the beginning. — to be. well, they said that out at the beginning, but— to be. well, they said that out at the beginning, but as _ to be. well, they said that out at the beginning, but as price - the beginning, but as price pressures increase, the risk needs to be on the companies, rather than

give over, there. it's assault! | no, it's not. i feared that if we did anything, we were going to be arrested. this was the day disaster struck for two pensioners in hull who'd failed to keep up their payments on a mortgage... ..whose interest rate had shot up to 9.2%. it was the worst day of my life. i thought all these years, you know, we'd had that house, we'd done loads to it, and then that has to happen. we've lost it, babe. we've lost it. nothing we can do. theyjust came in like thieves. it was horrible — like robbers. i don't believe it. you know, dictating to us, "0h, you've got 30 minutes, go get all your stuff." 2006... even a year after the day they lost their home of 36 years, karen and chris fleming still feel the trauma of it. as soon as i wake up, that's, like, the first thing on my mind — you know, leaving the house. the way it all went. they way they swarmed in. chris and karen bought the family home in 1987, and borrowed £198,000 from northern rock to extend it, just before the 2008 banking crisis.

when the crash came and his business as a shop—fitter slowed down, they switched to interest—only. chris takes me back to the house because karen can't bear to visit it. i know it's bad for me, but for karen, i know her heart was broken that moment. but after the crash, they discovered they couldn't remortgage to take advantage of cheaper interest rates, or even start repaying the capital again. the regulator's new affordability test prevented it. ironically, that meant they ended up paying much more. from 2006 to 2023, i believe we've paid £1,200 a month extra in interest payments to what we would have been paying, um, had we been able to move to a much more competitive interest rate and a capital—repayment mortgage. mm—hm. 50 over that period of time, i've calculated that it would be around about £230,000 we have paid over and above what we should have paid. after years of constant worry about the mortgage, the strain eventually got to chris. one friday evening, just karen

and i had had a bit of a fallout over something to do with money, and i'd had enough. and i didn't tell her, ijustjumped in the car. and i'd actually stopped just before because i wanted to write, like, a goodbye letter. but that's the effect he's had on our life. and then something happened that made me come back, confess to karen what had gone on. and he came in sobbing and wail... and i said, "what's the matter?" and ijust couldn't believe it. i thought, "has it come to this?" she weeps. it was horrible. yeah, so that was another horrible day of our lives. yeah. this is what people don't see — this is what the people in power do not see.

what they've done to people's lives like ours. you know, we'rejust everyday people. all we want is a peaceful life — to go about life doing the best we can, not harming anybody, not doing wrong, doing the best we can. and yet, through no fault of our own, we get to a point where they cause us to almost take our life. it's wrong! and there's no accountability. andy verity, bbc news, hull. you get a real sense of the trauma this is causing. we're joined now by olivia selley, a solicitor representing borrowers who say they were trapped paying excessive interest rates following northern rock's collapse.

these mortgage borrowers have been paying at least 5% for the last decade but most recently they have been paying unsustainable rates, and some have been having their homes repossessed, and others are living in properties that are not fit for purpose. it is probably worth explaining how you have a group of people who are not free in the open market, they have got a problem you do not like, why can't they go somewhere else? the circumstances that led to them being trapped or mortgage prisoners is a unique combination of factors. the main thing is the global financial crisis, and the main creator is the collapse of northern rock, although it is not exclusively northern rock. when that bank collapsed, thousands of mortgages were transferred to these inactive

lenders who did not make new lending available to their customers. as an addition, there was a big change to the affordability rules in the wake of the crash, which meant that previously they had qualified for normal products, but they no longer date, so they are languishing on these very high so date, so they are languishing on these very hig— these very high so they are not attractive to — these very high so they are not attractive to other _ these very high so they are not attractive to other lenders - these very high so they are not attractive to other lenders who j these very high so they are not - attractive to other lenders who they might in other circumstances go to. and because of the great rising interest rates which was affecting the calculation?— interest rates which was affecting the calculation? exactly, over the last 18 months, _ the calculation? exactly, over the last 18 months, rates _ the calculation? exactly, over the last 18 months, rates have - the calculation? exactly, over the last 18 months, rates have only i the calculation? exactly, over the . last 18 months, rates have only gone up last 18 months, rates have only gone up and up and up, on top of what was already high. and so in some cases, well, in all cases, it has had a cumulative effect making it more difficult for people to meet their payments. 50 difficult for people to meet their -a ments. ., , ., payments. so what is the legal action now? — payments. so what is the legal action now? a _ payments. so what is the legal action now? a lot _ payments. so what is the legal action now? a lot of _ action now? a lot of people will say, when the base rate was an 80,

moved to a new mortgage or closed their mortgage, we remind customers they can switch annually and this is displayed prominently on the website. they are saying you can move, you can get a new product. some people might now have, over a period of time, refinanced. initially when tsb took over these mortgages, they did not make new products available. when they did, they were much more expensive than they were much more expensive than the products made available to the existing tsb customers. in terms of notifying customers that they can switch, as far as i have seen, it is rather small responses in faqs at the bottom of documents, saying you may be entitled to switch, contact we might grow, and i do not think thatis we might grow, and i do not think that is prominent enough. how long will this process take? we have a trial next week, and we expect a judgment in october, but the total

secretary's constituency, was built for around 300 patients a day but is now frequently seeing double that number it's exceptionally hard on our patients and our relatives. i mean, i think it's... i don't know how you explain to people what we're having to do. i mean, i think they do understand why it's happening, but it doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it acceptable. i mean, you can apologise as often as you want, but it doesn't make it better, does it? and it's... it's a reality — you can see here we've got ten patients today, and that's ten patients too many. and we'll have an interview with the new health secretary wes streeting in our 6.30 programme. it could be one of the hottest days of the year today, so people may be keen to go out and do some open water swimming — like these people in canary wharf last night. tests on the water in middle dock in canary wharf show it to be "completely clean". it first opened to swimmers two years ago — but it's returned by popular demand. very lucky in the centre of canary wharf here that we've actually got a space

that is spring water. 50, popular misconception is that this is water coming from the thames — and i know there's a lot of concern with the things that are going into the river at the moment — but this is fully enclosed. so we have a natural aquifer which brings spring water up through mixtures of thanet sands, through gravel and it's what gives this particular site here such fresh, clean and unrivalled clarity. services to and from liverpool street station are set to be disrupted for more than two weeks while a 150—year—old bridge is replaced. network rail will demolish a bridge with deteriorating cast iron girders by hackney downs park and install a new structure, from tomorrow until the fourth of august. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, after quite a mild, muggy night, today is a warm summery day. in fact, a hot day with plenty

in the way of sunshine and high pressure remaining in charge for the time being. there may be a few patches of mist and fog clearing this morning but plenty of sunshine, some fair weather cloud bubbling up into the afternoon. it stays dry, and temperatures climbing up to the high 20s, to 30 or 31 degrees in some spots this afternoon with those southerly winds. a fine evening to come, clear skies and another mild and muggy night with more in the way of cloud building in the early hours. holding up at around 15 to 18 degrees, so it might be a difficult night for sleeping. looking ahead to the weekend, late on saturday and saturday night we are expecting them to arrive in from the west. saturday through the day should be largely dry for many, with some spells of sunshine, chance of thundershowers into the afternoon, and rain arrives on saturday night. becoming fresher on saturday. that's it — head to our website to find out how the memory of tessa jowell unites three new mps. we're back in half an hour.

see you soon. bye. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. parents in england should not take their children out of school in term time and will face consequences if they do, the new education secretary bridget phillipson has told the bbc. but some families say they would rather accept the fines — than pay thousands of pounds extra for holidays — so what are the rules? repeated failure to ensure school attendance can result in a court prosecution, a fine of up to 2,500 pounds a community order and even a jail sentence of up to three months. the minimum fines for removing children without permission for five school days will rise from 60—pounds per child to 80 pounds per child from next month. our reporter dan o'donoghue spoke to laura melling, who saved 3,000 pounds taking her daughters on holiday during term—time.

can now find our sports reporter against the shrubbery, the gorse bushes, in the rough which shows how rough it can be, i guess. absolutely. people talk about what challenge links golf the swirling wind whipping in, the unpredictable weather, the rain and drizzle, the tight greens, narrow fairways, bonkers? all of that, yes, but if you miss the fairway you will find yourself in this thick rough and coarse brushes. this is a graveyard for golf balls. tiger woods and rory michael wright both took one on the train line that runs alongside it but one man who had no problems yesterday was the unheralded englishman dan brown. never won a major, never even played on before yesterday but here is the man everyone is trying to catch. troon beat the best of them yesterday, but dan brown cracked the code. he was flawless — by the time he came off the course, the galleries were almost empty, but friends and family saw him play

the round of his life. a birdie on the last, and he leads the open. it feels great, um, but i'm trying not... i'm trying to sort of keep my feet on the ground a little bit. um, i don't want to... we've only played one round of the tournament — there's still another three rounds left — so it's a long way to go. shane lowry�*s one off the lead — the open champion five years ago was also bogey—free. whilst they made it look easy... such an ask. ..rory mcilroy didn't. he fell into royal troon's many traps. he could sense another major slipping away. he's so far off the lead on seven—over — will he even make it into the weekend? um... i mean, all i need to focus on is tomorrow, and try to make the cut. that's all i can focus on. tiger woods also had a difficult day. he's raised the claretjug three times, but raising his game to the level now required — that's another matter. out of bounds on the famous railway hole, and out of contention. he could be on the last train home tonight. dan brown, though — he's got big plans for the weekend.

olly foster, bbc news, at royal troon. for so many of these players just making the cut will be the challenge for friday. the likes of tiger woods, rory michael wright, the winner at st andrews, a couple of years ago, but dan brown has no such problems, he will enjoy his time at the top of the leaderboard for a few hours at least. he tees off at 11. if you want to stay at the top of the leaderboard the key will be staying out of this stuff. find staying out of this stuff. and you should stay _ staying out of this stuff. and you should stay away _ staying out of this stuff. and you should stay away from _ staying out of this stuff. and you should stay away from those - staying out of this stuff. and you i should stay away from those prickly bushes. thank you very much. no, no, no! it was england's day, at the start of the second test against the west indies at trent bridge. ollie pope top scored with 121, and put his success down to the inspiration of arsenal keeper, aaron ramsdale, who had asked him for tickets,

and pope — who's a big gunners fan — now says he will have to come more often. england were bowled out for 416, so very much on top when play resumes at 11 this morning — england already lead the 3—match series 1—0. i mention the england under 19 team because do you recognise this chap? i'm not sure from the picture. he made history yesterday. this is 16 year old rocky flintoff — son of former england captain andrew — becoming the youngest player, to make a century for the england under 19s, in their second test against sri lanka, at cheltenham, doing a good job of living up to the family name. telling is a step closer to tour de france title. the final stage is more jeopardy time trial when the lead could well be snatched. this was a lovely moment with the stage when claiming the biggest win of his career and celebrating with an emotional video call with his partner. you can see him shaking with emotion. and his one—month—old baby who he dedicated his victory to. happy tears, happy tears, which

1924 games is still here. the opening ceremony took place on this very piece of turf, and along this track — running along here — harold abrahams and eric liddell, of chariots of fire fame, did their stuff. music: chariots of fire. after liddell and abrahams, colombes went on to become a famous football and rugby stadium. for years, it was france's answer to wembley. and now, at these games, it's back as an olympic venue — for hockey. translation: so many great names have run and kicked i and tackled in this ground. it's a place that's full of the ghost of athletes. you can almost see them and hear them. but before 1924, there were the 1900 paris games, and they left this superb legacy — the cipale velodrome in the bois de vincennes — one of the oldest in the world. 1900s were weird games. many competitors weren't even aware that they were taking part in the olympics.

and then there were the strange events, like boules, artillery firing, hot—air ballooning, and cricket. bell rings. attention, monsieur... the only ever olympic cricket match took place on this ground in 1900 — england against france. england won, but that does mean that france is today the titular silver—medal—holder in olympic cricket. not a lot of people know that. the games of the eighth olympiad... a lot of people did know this man, though — the 1924 american champion swimmer johnny weissmuller — soon to become famous as the first film incarnation of tarzan. 50 years later, the bbc caught up with him again at the olympic pool in paris, and asked him how his lungs were. ahhh-ah-ahhhhh! hu—u—u—ugh schofield, bbc news, paris.

that is terrific. we arejoined by we are joined by double olympic gold medallist alistair brownlee. have you ever seen him swim? there was a clip of him swimming and you are an expert swimmerand he clip of him swimming and you are an expert swimmer and he always had his head above the water, he had this extraordinary swimming style and was an olympic guard apart from anything else and went on to be tiresome, just to explain. how are you? ellen; just to explain. how are you? very well. this week— just to explain. how are you? very well. this week the _ just to explain. how are you? very well. this week the river macro - just to explain. how are you? very | well. this week the river macro one was liven well. this week the river macro one was given official _ well. this week the river macro one was given official status _ well. this week the river macro one was given official status to - well. this week the river macro one was given official status to be - well. this week the river macro one | was given official status to be swum in. everybody has the same problem to deal with infrastructure and when you have extreme weather events you get overflow that the sewage systems cannot control and it goes into

united states, several airlines have grounded flights, including american airlines and delta, but they have not confirmed whether it is directly due to the outage. in alaska, emergency services are affected, state troopers say 911 call centres are not working correctly across the state. in australia, broadcasterabc has been affected, as well as supermarkets and banks. ben, i understand _ supermarkets and banks. ben, i understand it _ supermarkets and banks. ben, i understand it is _ supermarkets and banks. ben, i understand it is moving - supermarkets and banks. ben, i understand it is moving very - understand it is moving very quickly, a lot of people will be thinking, other safety issues here? very early stages, and literally as we are speaking, we are getting more and more reports of various parts of the fabric of what people normally use being affected. just the fabric of what people normally use being affected.— use being affected. just as i was s-ueakin , use being affected. just as i was speaking. i _ use being affected. just as i was speaking. i was _ use being affected. just as i was speaking, i was picking - use being affected. just as i was speaking, i was picking up - use being affected. just as i was| speaking, i was picking up detail about berlin airport saying it is also affected, there was flights being grounded, as i say, in the us due to safety concerns linked to this outage. you may well be wondering what is causing it. at

this stage, it seems to be linked to an issue with microsoft's pc computer operating systems and a cloud computer servers that many of these global businesses use for their operations. i should stress, it doesn't look like a malicious hacker at this stage, but rather it looks to be an error with a software update on something called crowdstrike security software that has caused the problems. it is a fast—moving, fast developing situation, we will keep across the details and bring you those crucial updates and how they affect you as soon as we get them throughout the morning. soon as we get them throughout the mornin:. , morning. there will be further u dates morning. there will be further updates on — morning. there will be further updates on the bbc— morning. there will be further updates on the bbc news - morning. there will be further- updates on the bbc news website, and as charlie said, we are seeing lists of various institutions, the fabric of various institutions, the fabric of our society, airports, the london stock exchange, and other institutions affected. on the bbc

news website, there will be a rolling news update for you to keep date with. the home secretary, yvette cooper, has condemned a night of disorder in leeds after a large crowd overturned a police car and set a bus on fire. she said she was "appalled at the shocking scenes and attacks". residents were warned to stay at home, and there was a large police presence in the harehills area of the city. our reporter tom ingall has more. violence flares in a residential street. this is the harehills district. west yorkshire police say they were first called at five o'clock on thursday, to a situation involved agency workers and children. a crowd gathers, and this is what happens next. one witness told us at least 1000 people eventually spilled out onto the main road. a double—decker bus was set alight. these pictures widely shared on social media. other fires were started and bricks were thrown.

home secretary yvette cooper wrote on social media, "i am appalled at the shocking scenes and the attacks "on police vehicles and public transport in leeds "tonight, disorder of this nature has "no place in our society." by midnight, police had withdrawn and the road reopened. as we drove into the area, there were hundreds of people on the street, the air heavy with smoke. quarter past midnight, and this is just next to harehills lanejunction, and this will be one of the images of the night, the burnt out bus that we saw in flames earlier, but what is happening now is the community are rallying around, trying to put it out, we saw someone dragging a wheelie bin full of water, and you can see they are bailing buckets of water under the flames, trying to cool things down. in the small hours, police returned, this time with west yorkshire fire service. whatever anger had provoked the trouble, it had long since dissipated, to be replaced

by confusion, even disbelief from people who live here. it might have only lasted a few hours, but the legacy of this violentjuly evening will echo for much longer. donald trump said god was on his side when he survived an assassination attempt by a gunman at a rally on saturday. the former president was speaking at the republican national convention — his first big speech since the attempt on his life. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal has the latest. the republican party is now officially the party of trump. i proudly accept your nomination for president of the united states. sporting a bandage, he talked about policies, grievances and god. i am not supposed to be here

tonight, not supposed to be here. i stand before you in this arena only by the grace of almighty god. earlier, hulk hogan got the crowd going. enough is enough! that combative message echoed by donald trump. i raised my right arm, looked at the thousands and thousands of people that were breathlessly waiting and started shouting fight, fight, fight. there was blood pouring everywhere, and yet in a certain way i felt very safe, because i had god on my side, ifelt that. he had said he wanted to focus on unity but reverted to his known divisive rhetoric on issues such as ukraine, energy and immigration. i will end the illegal immigration

crisis by closing our border and finishing the wall, most of which i have already built. what is better than that, we have to stop the invasion into our country that is killing hundreds of thousands of people a year. the crowd here is energised by donald trump. he has risen right to the top of the republican party again, the support for him here is unquestionable. it is a very different story for his opponent, joe biden, where support for him seems to be breaking away. his health and fragility is in huge contrast to his death—defying opponent. the president of the united states... reports suggest top democrats and close friend nancy pelosi have been telling colleagues that you're biting can be persuaded to exit the

race soon. —— joe biden. even former president barack obama, who appeared with him at a fundraiser, is said to be worried that his path to victory has diminished. ultimately, it isjoe biden's decision, but cracks have appeared in his armour. as the president confronts a dark moment in his political career, the man he beat four years ago stands triumphant. donald trump, a convicted felon, has advanced one of the stunning comebacks in political history. and nor may a cabal can explain how, with all those supporters their influence, how the speech was received. . . , influence, how the speech was received. ., ., , ., , influence, how the speech was received. ., ., , ., received. that was a very long seech, received. that was a very long speech. the — received. that was a very long speech, the longest _ received. that was a very long l speech, the longest convention speech, the longest convention speech in half a century, it lasted

more than an hour and 25 minutes, and donald trump beat the previous owner of that record, himself, in 2016. there were members of the audience that was looking restless and looking slightly bored, dare i say, but for the most part when i went out afterwards, when the speech had wrapped up, people said they were excited and energised by him and very moved, they felt he was changed, he looked affected by what had happened, and we saw that at the start of the speech, but it turned into very much a donald trump rally, where he goes off on tangents and starts talking about different things, returning to that language, as i mentioned in the report, seen as i mentioned in the report, seen as pretty divisive, especially when it comes to domestic issues, to foreign issues as well. but look, this is where the party faithful were, this is where his supporters, as far as they are concerned, he can do no wrong, and the assassination attempt on him on saturday has

really made the party unify behind him in a way that perhaps hadn't been left once before, and of course thatis been left once before, and of course that is something that will hugely concerned the democratic party, who were in contrast right now are in disarray. ukraine's president, volodomyr zelensky, will address the cabinet in downing street this morning, the first foreign leader to do so in person in nearly 30 years. our political correspondent iain watson joins us now. iain, what can we expect from president zelenskyy�*s visit? this comes after a meeting of european leaders, but interesting he will be doing this in person, the first labour macro government for 14 years, more than that, in fact. that is riaht, years, more than that, in fact. that is right. and — years, more than that, in fact. that is right, and cabinet _ years, more than that, in fact. trust is right, and cabinet ministers have been arriving, angela rayner has

just gone in, the chancellor has just gone in, the chancellor has just gone in, the chancellor has just gone and we are expecting volodymyr zelensky in the next half hour. the meeting is more about symbolism than substance, effectively what keir starmer is trying to say is that although we talked a lot about change in the general election, the one thing that will not change as government policy towards ukraine, the labour government will be steadfast in its support, and it is interesting that you mention the first in—person foreign leader to address the cabinet, the last one was bill clinton, just a couple of weeks after tony blair took over as payments are, and people talked then about a peace dividend, the end of the cold war, this is a signal of how much has changed in that time, that some of the substance of what is being discussed today is about increasing weaponry and ammunition to ukraine, to try to see off the russian threat. in addition to that,

they will be talking about the russian shadow fleet, effectively oil tankers sailing under a flag of convenience trying to bust the oil sanctions against russia. the last government identified some of these ships and banned them from british waters, the labour government will announce more of that later today. i imagine they will also discuss what you have been discussing earlier, the prospect of a donald trump presidency, and volodymyr zelensky was asked about that last night in his bbc interview, and you conceded it would be hard work dealing with a trump presidency, but he also said the ukrainians are hard workers. parents should not take their children on term—time holidays, and have a responsibility to keep them in school, the education secretary has told the bbc. the holiday was everything the melling family hoped for, swimming under the blue skies in egypt in february.

the parents were fined £240 for an unauthorised term—time holiday. many families will have made the decision already because of the cost of living. so i asked the new education secretary for england about fining parents for holidays in her first interview in the job. i think parents have responsibilities and their children should be in school. uh, fines are an important part of that system, and i think, you know, it's an important part of the social contract that we have, that we honour our responsibilities, because children not being in school doesn'tjust have an impact on those individual children, it means that teachers often have to recover material because children have missed out. parents have told the bbc that they'd rather pay a fine of a few thousand pounds than pay £3,000 more on a holiday. can you understand those decisions when families are under financial pressure? look, i understand that families are under pressure, but parents should not be taking their children out of school during term time for holidays. theyjust should not be doing that. and should they do it,

there will have to be consequences. fingers. the new government also wants to look at how to get more creative subjects in schools. at this gateshead secondary, pupils can choose from more than half a dozen. i don't speak to anyone in maths, so i'm not learning the communication and life skills that i need to actually be able to go on in life and have a good, stablejob as an adult, being able to communicate and socialise. # it's too darn hot...# what's the point of this review in a way that any mum or dad sitting at home could understand? what i want, as a parent for my children, and i know that parents across the country will want is that when their children leave school, they're well prepared for what comes next — that they've had a great education, that has given them a strong foundation in academic basics. but, alongside that, they've had a range of opportunities,, whether that's through music, sport, art and drama

and also they're just well prepared for the world to come. # da—da—da—da—da...# teachers and parents will be consulted ahead of any changes. reading and maths have improved in england and that progress can't be lost. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. just a reminder again of our main breaking news story this morning. flights have been grounded in the us, with reports of the london stock exchange being affected, as microsoft reports a major worldwide outage. we will have much more on this in around 15 minutes, microsoft said they are addressing a lingering impact for microsoft 365 apps that are in a degraded state, they say they are taking mitigating actions after service issues were

reported in various places across the world. we can give you an example of what is being affected, flights grounded in the united states, for example, we understand that in berlin, air traffic has halted until at least eight o'clock gmt, so around now, we will get an update on that. the spanish airport operator has reported a computer systems incident at all spanish airports, causing flight delays. we also understand that the london stock exchange, the group platforms there have suffered an outage as well, trans— pennine trains also having issues. so we don't know the extent of this, we just know that there are various institutions and infrastructure institutions and infrastructure institutions that are reporting these problems, there is more information on the bbc news website, we will be talking to a technology macro expert later in the programme to try to find out what is

happening, but microsoft has said it is addressing the impact. we arejust is addressing the impact. we are just trying to get a handle on the scale of the problems, but important to note there are no safety issues reported, talking about airlines, but this is about air traffic being halted. manchester airport is saying that there are ground staff are handling things manually, so in most of these situations where we are having reports of these issues being found, the air—traffic control and the airports themselves are using manual controls to get over those immediate issues. we will keep you on top of all of those areas that appear to be affected at this time.

top mark a beautiful start to the day, sunny and foremost, and temperatures will be on the rise, it could be very warm if not hot for some of us, temperatures could peak at 31, 30 two celsius in the home counties, around cambridgeshire, that would make it the hottest day of the year so far. but as i said, not for all of us, there is more clout across scotland and northern ireland, rein in the western isles and the irish sea, drizzle in south—west scotland this morning, sunny elsewhere, and that will continue into the afternoon. temperatures widely getting into the high 20s, but as i said, maybe 32 celsius in parts of cambridge. further north and west, 16—22, bear in mind thejuly average is 16—24, so not unusual to see higher temperatures, but we are above

average. through tonight, clout continuing across scotland and northern ireland, outbreaks of rain here, a warm and humid night to come, temperatures no lower than 15 or16 come, temperatures no lower than 15 or 16 celsius. into the weekend, low—pressure to the north, a frontal system in the west, and as we go through the weekend, that will move eastwards, and fresher air will move in from the west as we go through into sunday. eventually, the hot weather will move away. watch out for the heavy and thundery showers moving in across wales macro in south—west england, moving eastwards, some uncertainty on the exact timing of that area of thundery rain, if you showers in eastern areas, still pretty warm, 26 celsius. furtherwest eastern areas, still pretty warm, 26

celsius. further west fresher for many, 25 degrees. into sunday, the fresher air will move to all of us, evenin fresher air will move to all of us, even in east temperatures will drop. we celebrate younger people achieving their dreams and going for it, interesting, isn't it? one week to go to the paris olympics, and i have been to meet one of the names of people who could really spring out. phoebe gill is only 17, and she's still studying hard for her a levels next year, but she could become one of the most famous faces at this summer's paris olympics. the teenager will be the youngest british track athlete to take part in the olympic games for more than 40 years. she is based in st albans, i have been to meet her. the student from st albans

who is set to make history at the paris olympics. while her schoolmates take a holiday halfway through their a—levels, 17—year—old phoebe gill will be the youngest athlete on the british olympic team in over 40 years — a childhood dream she never thought possible just a few months ago. my coach mentioned it to me at the start of the season, actually, that there was a possibility, and ijust couldn't believe it, i was like, "what? that's silly!" but now i'm actually, like, going to this event, i've actually got through, it doesn't feel like i've gotten through — i still feel like i need to, like, prove myself in some sort of way, and ijust need to let it sink in that i'm actually going. phoebe started to believe when she broke a long—standing under—18 800m european record in belfast in may, in the middle of preparing for mock a—level exams at school. i remember being on the plane back and seeing all the instagram posts and i was like, "oh, it was a record — wow, that's amazing." and then i was back in the classroom pretending like nothing had happened.

and i think it's really good because sometimes when you do a race like that, it can constantly be in your head and you're thinking about it. so it's been good to — you know, having to focus on studies whilst everything's been going on. a month later, phoebe confirmed her place on the olympic team by winning the british 800m title at the uk championships in manchester... phoebe gill takes the win! ..beating established stars and her idols — the likes ofjemma reekie. back in december, i went to lea valley for an indoor training session, and jemma was actually there, and i was asking for a photo because i was such a fan. and then to be racing alongside her was just incredible. and the fact that we just used each other to get to the line, i think it was... it really pushed me to finish. then coming away with the win was the most undescribable thing that could have happened. i started journaling — which i'd never done before — to just get everything out. journaling — do you mean writing stuff down? yeah, yeah. on a phone or actually with a pen? with an actual pen! oh, right! i think sport is 70% mental and 30% physical, actually. phoebe only got started in middle—distance

running seven years ago — coming from, originally, swimming and then cross—country. she came to the track and she just glided effortlessly over the track, and i've only seen that once before. any athlete can do — you know, can be incredibly good, but there's only a couple of athletes that i've seen that just glide effortlessly. phoebe was like that age ten. despite her record—breaking run up to the olympics, phoebe's very keen to keep her feet very much on the ground — by deciding not to go away to some pre—olympic training camp or to paris early, but to stay here with her mates on her home—from—home track at st albans, right until the last minute before her event begins. i think it's really good to keep the normality for as long as possible. it's great that, after a hard session, we canjust have banter with each other and just have a laugh. this is a far cry from what many elite athletes are used to — a grassroots club which has endured a turbulent few years since the council cut its track funding, and where the only facilities are portaloos and kit containers. the chances of it happening in st albans is just crazy. yeah, yeah, yeah.

like, it's like a... it's like a winning lottery ticket. just how it happens to be at this, at this time, and you're you're here at the same time. it's crazy. i'm so immensely. proud of her, like... when i saw her do that, tears came to my eyes. in the qualification race. like any athlete, there are huge sacrifices... crisps — i've cut out crisps since december and it's been such a struggle. cheese and onion, ready salted, and prawn — prawn cocktail, actually — it's a big go—to — but i haven't had that in so long. i'm missing it. it's worth it to get a taste of the olympic track at just 17. i just can't wait to share this, like, hotel and the olympic village with all these different athletes that i've been watching for so many years. once the gun goes off, itjust feels like me and the track, and, like, i'm the only person on that track and i just can't wait to run with people i've been watching on the tv for so long!

she is keeping herfeet on the ground, she has grown up with a love of running, and hertop ground, she has grown up with a love of running, and her top tip, write a journal to deal with mental stress, and prawn cocktail crisps! prawn cocktail is a controversial choice including prawn cocktail... morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. coming up, emergency landings, injuries and even death. if headlines about extreme turbulence have put you off flying, pilot arthur williams has some much—needed reassurance. yes, most of the time turbulence is nothing to be afraid of. i'll explain why it happens, and why where you sit on the plane makes a huge difference. also today, the true price of a bargain. i fraudsters are luring i shoppers into handing over their cash and data, -

with the promise of big discounts. i had a text message from my bank saying a transaction of 990 quid has been put on your credit card. i was freaked out i started getting the jitters. we show how to spot a scam ad and why you should never trust| a sale you see on social media. from online to in—store, consumer champ matt allwright's making sure you know exactly what you're putting in your trolley. supermarkets are super at marketing. i'll expose the tricks of the trade, including why one of these on yourfood doesn't mean it's100% british. and there's one week to go- until the start of the olympics. we'll hear about the golden days i of team gb legend linford christie, and why he says he's no longer running from his past. - see you at 9:30.

yes, it was christmas i was saying! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. queen's hospital in romford has warned that their a&e is so busy that treating patients in corridors has now become common practice — when it used to happen only in winter emergencies — the a&e department at the hospital, which is close to the new health secretary's constituency, was built for around 300 patients a day but is now frequently seeing double that number it's exceptionally hard on our patients and our relatives. i mean, i think it's... i don't know how you explain to people what we're having to do. i mean, i think they do understand why it's happening, but it doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it acceptable. i mean, you can apologise as often as you want, but it doesn't make it better, does it? and it's... it's a reality — you can see here we've got ten patients today, and that's ten patients too many. and we'll have an interview with the new health secretary wes

streeting in our 6.30 programme. thames water has been fined more than half a million pounds injust over two years by wandsworth council for completing roadworks late. more than 320 roadworks carried out by the water company took longer than the agreed deadline. thames water apologised for the disruption. a heat health alert is in place for london — until 11pm tomorrow. issued by the uk health security agency, the yellow alert means the hot weather is likely to impact vulnerable groups, such as young children and the elderly. temperatures are expected to peak today at 30 degrees. the victoria and albert museum has recruited four british swifties to become the first taylor swift superfan advisers to the institution. more than 1,000 people applied for the role after it was advertised earlier this year. a number of objects on loan from swift's personal archive will go on display temporarily

at the museum in south kensington this summer. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, after quite a mild, muggy night, today is a warm summery day. in fact, a hot day with plenty in the way of sunshine and high pressure remaining in charge for the time being. there may be a few patches of mist and fog clearing this morning but plenty of sunshine, some fair weather cloud bubbling up into the afternoon. it stays dry, and temperatures climbing up to the high 20s, to 30 or 31 degrees in some spots this afternoon with those southerly winds. a fine evening to come, clear skies and another mild and muggy night with more in the way of cloud building in the early hours. holding up at around 15 to 18 degrees, so it might be a difficult night for sleeping. looking ahead to the weekend, late on saturday and saturday night we are expecting them to arrive in from the west.

saturday through the day should be largely dry for many, with some spells of sunshine, chance of thundershowers into the afternoon, and rain arrives on saturday night. becoming fresher on saturday. that's it — head to our website to find out how the memory of tessa jowell unites three new mps. we're back in half an hour. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. a reminder of our developing top story this morning. we top story this morning. understand that flights hav grounded in we understand that flights have been grounded in various countries, in the united states. there are problems in spain, problems in germany, some trains and planes in

the uk. not planes, airports experiencing disruption. this began to emerge just after 8am and it is a problem with microsoft, reporting major worldwide outage. to give you a sense of the various areas that are affected. for example in the uk, trans pennine trains and other train operators are saying they are affected by some of their it systems but it is important to point out, with trains for example, they say these are problems of purchasing tickets but they may have ongoing issues in terms of train timetables. we also understand the london stock exchange group is having problems. various media companies also affected and we understand and want to stress that in terms of safety we are not reporting any safety issues, we are reporting technology issues, the ability to access technology. we understand that the health booking

system doctors in the uk in england, thatis system doctors in the uk in england, that is also off—line. you have gone through a raft of these things happening. 45 minutes ago we were talking about it or half an hour ago and wejust seeing, talking about it or half an hour ago and we just seeing, as we through our wires and we are seeing institution of the institution affected. fist institution of the institution affected. �* ., , , affected. at the outset it is in differentiate _ affected. at the outset it is in differentiate this. _ affected. at the outset it is in differentiate this. we - affected. at the outset it is in differentiate this. we took . differentiate this. we took the outages for individual platforms but nothing as widespread as this. this is huge, and a different scale. and is huge, and a different scale. and is affecting copies worldwide, we are talking about airlines, supermarkets, tv news channels, banks. as you say, in the uk, when the latest developments is that that health booking system used by doctors in england is down, off—line and by far the biggest impact we are seeing is on travel. go via thames link railway, the parent company that runs southern, thames link, gatwick express and great northern hasissued gatwick express and great northern

has issued a delay alert on all of its services. other train companies like trans pen express are also reporting problems with their it systems. systems at the london stock exchange i down, sky news is having problems. ryanair has warned customers to expect long delays, problems at whiz air, it is widespread. manchester airport. ground handling problems seem to be at the heart of it, manual checking ins, baggage system is not working automatically as they should. ihie ins, baggage system is not working automatically as they should. we can answer that with _ automatically as they should. we can answer that with sydney _ automatically as they should. we can answer that with sydney airport. - answer that with sydney airport. microsoft touches so many businesses, it is a massive, massive operating system and company that is used. sydney, there are reactions to this, which seem quite positive. we have just had a report from sydney

airport and this is the simon atkinson on the tarmac there, one of our reporters, says it has been an hour of uncertainty, mild chaos at sydney airport, as you can imagine. the departure doing echo —— macro departure screen is blank. not able to check passengers in. with no flights going in or out, things seem to be moving, there are reports that virgin australia has started boarding flights. that is happening, as well. there are mitigations coming through in terms of manual check—in. there are mitigations coming through in terms of manual check-in.- in terms of manual check-in. looking at some of what _ in terms of manual check-in. looking at some of what microsoft _ in terms of manual check-in. looking at some of what microsoft have - in terms of manual check-in. looking at some of what microsoft have said i at some of what microsoft have said so far, they say they are taking mitigation actions after the service issues have arisen and continue to address what they are calling the lingering impact. that address what they are calling the lingering impact.— lingering impact. at this stage it doesnt lingering impact. at this stage it doesn't appear _ lingering impact. at this stage it doesn't appear to _ lingering impact. at this stage it doesn't appear to be _ lingering impact. at this stage it doesn't appear to be a malicious hacker~ — doesn't appear to be a malicious hacker. when things like this doing macro people inevitably think

your phone, laptop, tablet, and particularly the types of screens you interact with in airports, train stations, to check in, to buy tickets, or to check out at shops. these two incidents may be connected, they may not. but the two combined have clearly caused absolute chaos. if combined have clearly caused absolute chaos.— combined have clearly caused absolute chaos. ., , , absolute chaos. if someone is 'ust tunin: absolute chaos. if someone is 'ust tuning into fl absolute chaos. if someone is 'ust tuning into our programme i absolute chaos. if someone isjust tuning into our programme this i tuning into our programme this morning, watching what we are hearing, is there something anyone should do for their own security of their devices, orwhat should do for their own security of their devices, or what advice do you have to anyone hearing this for the first time this morning? i have to anyone hearing this for the first time this morning?— first time this morning? i wish i could give _ first time this morning? i wish i could give them _ first time this morning? i wish i could give them more proactive advice, that there is something they could do, but the best thing you can do in some ways is weight. weight to find out that your services are back—up. microsoft has everything back—up. microsoft has everything back up and running but there is always a hangover with these issues, it takes time for everything to come back, for everybody to reboot, reconnect to the cloud, get their systems back up and running. we can

probably see the end of the cloud issue now, potentially the more long—running issue is getting these end devices back up and running, the ones affected by the software update for the antivirus software. that might take longer because it might take manual intervention into each device or at least remote into each device. if you have woken up and your work laptop is not working, you have a blue screen, if you are at the train station trying to buy a ticket, all of that may take longer to resolve but i'm afraid it will just be about patience for now by and large. just be about patience for now by and larae. . ,, ., .,, just be about patience for now by and larae. ., i. ., , ., ~ and large. can you almost break it down that there _ and large. can you almost break it down that there is _ and large. can you almost break it down that there is a _ and large. can you almost break it down that there is a cloud - and large. can you almost break it down that there is a cloud issue, i down that there is a cloud issue, anti—virus provider issue, but what's lots of people will think is, my laptop is blank, the screen is blank because i use the microsoft system. my bank details are on there, i do my internet banking on there, i do my internet banking on there, or i access my e—mails which have personal information. use a be

patient, it will come back. it could sound ridiculous that we have all seen the technology hacking films. will there be a gateway open now that means i can be hacked? what do you do, what do you check first of all if and when it comes back, say, today? all if and when it comes back, say, toda ? ., ., ., ,, ., today? right now, from what we know about what has — today? right now, from what we know about what has gone _ today? right now, from what we know about what has gone wrong, _ today? right now, from what we know about what has gone wrong, your i today? right now, from what we know about what has gone wrong, your data j about what has gone wrong, your data is not at risk. because your system is not at risk. because your system is down, your system is not connected to the network, nobody has remote access, you are not unprotected. that is based on what we understand right now. it does not look like this was a malicious attack, like someone deliberately took these things down or tried to steal information. that means the information on your machine, or the information on your machine, or the information you have stored in the cloud somewhere, should still be secure when you reconnect. it should also be there when you reconnect. if there are things you are particularly concerned about, just do a double check when it all comes back up. but for now, don't panic,

it doesn't look like there has been any compromise of that sort of information.— information. that is reassuring indeed. information. that is reassuring indeed- how— information. that is reassuring indeed. how big _ information. that is reassuring indeed. how big are _ information. that is reassuring indeed. how big are microsoftl indeed. how big are microsoft tentacles in the world of technology? in terms of the companies. we are hearing company after company, institution of the institution being touched. how big, how widespread is this?— how widespread is this? colossal. absolutely colossal. _ how widespread is this? colossal. absolutely colossal. think - how widespread is this? colossal. absolutely colossal. think about | how widespread is this? colossal. i absolutely colossal. think about the big names we all know in technology, microsoft, amazon, google, alphabet. oracle. they all operate these cloud systems and they all have big teams of salespeople and big teams of engineers who go to the biggest companies in the world, the global 500, the brands we trust day in, day out, and cell than they idea they can actually, rather than run their own systems you can put it our computers and it will save you money, it will save you pain time and most of the time it will be much more secure and much more reliable. and that has been the big transition

in technology over the last 20 years. ratherthan in technology over the last 20 years. rather than having dusty server in a basement running your train ticketing software, or renting space in a data centre at a hotel for computers, where you put your server, ratherthan for computers, where you put your server, rather than do that you say to microsoft, ok, i will put my software on your systems and you are responsible for keeping it running, keeping it safe, and ijust get access to the bits i need when i need them. it means i need fewer people, fewer skills, or different skills in house and it should mean things run all the time. the reason this is such a big new store is because most of the time that works. we don't notice these things when they are working most of the time but it does mean that when they do go down it is one single point of failure for an enormous range of organisations and particularly in this case it looks like some of the protections, some of the failover methods that should mean if there is

an outage it is not this big, it looks like there was fail. it is was much bigger outage than it should have been if the systems that protect it from being this big had worked. . .. protect it from being this big had worked. ., ,, , ., protect it from being this big had worked. . ~' ,, . protect it from being this big had worked. ., ,, . ., ., worked. thank you so much for that. a technology — worked. thank you so much for that. a technology with _ worked. thank you so much for that. a technology with me _ worked. thank you so much for that. a technology with me macro. - worked. thank you so much for that. a technology with me macro. we i worked. thank you so much for that. a technology with me macro. we are going through what will and will and will not be affected when it comes to you personally but also infrastructure and everyday life being affected. we are reporting a major outage from microsoft. we are looking through a number of stories coming through about in a practical sense what impact it is having. and all the time, there are no suggestions that this is a safety issue. this is about practical problems in terms of the system is not working at this stage. the system is not working at this state. . .. the system is not working at this state. a' , ., the system is not working at this state. , ., ., , stage. take the problem at airports, it is laruel stage. take the problem at airports, it is largely around _ stage. take the problem at airports, it is largely around the _ stage. take the problem at airports, it is largely around the ground i it is largely around the ground handling systems, edinburgh, manchester airport, the automatic baggage handling systems are not

working as normal, scanning boarding passesis working as normal, scanning boarding passes is not working as normal. departure boards, one of our colleagues said edinburgh airport froze showing out of date information, meaning people didn't know which gate to go to, in some cases missing flights. a similar situation with various train companies around the uk. the ticket machines are not working, the systems they use for planning and scheduling will not have been working, and so that is having an effect on their services. i suppose i would say, just the frustration and the impact this is causing will be huge. it is a weekday, people will be trying to get to work, to school. some people may be trying to travel for short breaks, holidays and so on. perhaps on behalf of staff working at these airports and that these train companies, just be a little bit patient with them. they have probably not experienced something on this scale before and they are probably working flat out to do their best. try not to take

out your frustration on them. but it is having a big impact and worldwide, as well. airlines in the us have issued what they call a ground to stop, so american airlines, delta, united, they stop planes taking off. planes in the air are fine, they let them carry on doing their thing, but they are stopping other planes from taking off and similarly at berlin airport, take us suspended. ihie off and similarly at berlin airport, take us suspended.— off and similarly at berlin airport, take us suspended. we are monitoring all the information _ take us suspended. we are monitoring all the information coming _ take us suspended. we are monitoring all the information coming to - all the information coming to me macro. to back up what you are saying about some of the travel problems at luton airport, we understand there are major queues caused by the system failure. obviously people trying to check—in or baggage or whatever. all the time we are getting more and more reports about how various parts of the operation running, a lot to do with travel is being affected. we can speak now to the independent�*s travel correspondent simon calder. you are just getting news of this, as we are. we have run through the

various airports. i think it is important to look at the practical impact this is having and to emphasise again that at this moment in time this is not a safety issue, it is really an administration issue, getting tickets, loading baggage, etc. issue, getting tickets, loading baggage. etc-— issue, getting tickets, loading banaue,etc. , . , , baggage, etc. yes, that is exactly ri . ht. baggage, etc. yes, that is exactly right- there _ baggage, etc. yes, that is exactly right. there is _ baggage, etc. yes, that is exactly right. there is no _ baggage, etc. yes, that is exactly right. there is no danger, - baggage, etc. yes, that is exactly right. there is no danger, flightsl right. there is no danger, flights are landing absolutely as normal. there is no threat to anybody. but you have to see this in the context of this being the busiest day of the year, probably the busiest day for aviation for the last five years, since the disease macro pandemic and so therefore we have a record number of flights wanting to take off at exactly the time as we have had this outage. —— macro at dili macro after the cupboard pandemic. the first of the cupboard pandemic. the first of the day from berlin to gatwick, they are blaming the it outage. ryanair has put out a statement saying, ok, we have big problems with a third

party supplier, therefore we advise you to tell about your airport three hours early and if you cannot check—in online, and of course ryanair requires that you do that normally, they say don't worry, you can check in at the airport and we will not be charging you. on other forms of transport, trans pennine express saying our ticket machines are not working, buy your ticket on the train. and i am seeing, we heard from ben about the ground stop for us flights for united, american and delta but actuallyjust us flights for united, american and delta but actually just flying over blackpool right now if you want to look out of the window, united airlines flight 883 going to newark in new york, a bit behind schedule but otherwise as normal. it looks as though things will be really creaky today, and in any event we were fearing some problems simply because

of the sheer number of people wanting to travel, but hopefully things will get better. meanwhile, if you are held up at an airport, exactly as we were hearing, be prepared for delays and disruption and they will try to get you there. the big problem actually will possibly be the knock—on effect for people travelling perhaps later today, maybe tomorrow, another really big day because if planes are delayed, pilots, cabin crew are out of position, that could have unfortunate knock—on effects. indeed. they are coming through, as you understand, we get news wires and reports from around the world, lufthansa, german airline saying the profile and booking retrieval functionality may be limited, it is working on a solution. in los angeles, international airport saying it is experiencing some minor delays, that is from a spokesperson there. scandinavian airlines, as well, saying its website, sas, its

website has technical issues impacting its booking engine. yes and ou impacting its booking engine. yes and you will— impacting its booking engine. is; and you will get a lot impacting its booking engine. is; and you will get a lot of that especially since so many of me macro are so accustomed to simply checking in online. sometimesjust are so accustomed to simply checking in online. sometimes just when you are setting off to go to the airport that is likely to be problematic. of course the whole industry now is based on the idea that you have got relatively few people working at the airport because we, the passengers, do a lot of the work ourselves. so that could be very, very slow. all i can say is it was already going to be tough today, it will probably be a bit tougher. but i am looking here at dozens and dozens of flights taking off from the big four airports, heathrow, gatwick, stansted, manchester. people going off on holiday. if i were waiting at one of those airports or indeed edinburgh or anywhere else in the uk, iwould be edinburgh or anywhere else in the uk, i would be concerned about this but also worried about the flipping

pressure on air traffic control, which is going to be more intense today than it has been for some years, and that could lead to delays if you are particularly flying towards greece or turkey but that is a separate issue, and if you get where you are going today and you are only a couple of hours late, well, you will have done pretty well, you will have done pretty well, and have a drink!- well, you will have done pretty well, and have a drink! thank you very much- _ well, and have a drink! thank you very much. probably _ well, and have a drink! thank you very much. probably worth - well, and have a drink! thank you i very much. probably worth stopping for a moment. just to remind people if you arejustjoining me macro about what is going on today. we have learnt a bit more just about the origins of the problem. this is microsoft, software problem, and although the first indications here in the uk that things were being affected, services affected, it was just before 8am, what is emerging now is that there were some problems internationally prior to that, indications that there was a problem. it indications that there was a problem-— indications that there was a roblem. , ., , , problem. it began with problems with vafious problem. it began with problems with various companies _ problem. it began with problems with various companies in _ problem. it began with problems with various companies in australia - problem. it began with problems with various companies in australia and i various companies in australia and the us, the most notable thing for the us, the most notable thing for the us, the most notable thing for

the us was airlines, saying that they were affected. in australia it was airlines, airports, banks will stop supermarket checkout tills not working. foranyonejustjoining me working. for anyone just joining me macro, working. foranyonejustjoining me macro, this is to do with those systems we don't really think about very much, we don't see, the computing systems that power the operations of all of these companies that provide services that we rely on day to day for all sorts of things here in the uk, as we have been saying, airport systems have been saying, airport systems have been affected. train companies are warning about significant delays, airlines are warning anyone travelling to expect long delays at airports. ihie travelling to expect long delays at airorts. . , , travelling to expect long delays at airorts. ~ , ., travelling to expect long delays at airorts. ~ ., ., travelling to expect long delays at airorts. . ., ., . ., ., , airports. we spoke to a technology exert and airports. we spoke to a technology expert and overnight, _ airports. we spoke to a technology expert and overnight, microsoft i airports. we spoke to a technology. expert and overnight, microsoft said it was investigating an issue with its 365 apps and operating system. then it said it had recovered some of the services and since then it has warned there is an ongoing issue and service users should expect service degradation, which is what on its screen, technical language

but poor service, basically. on its screen, technical language but poorservice, basically. it on its screen, technical language but poor service, basically. it is since then we have had this knock—on effect as people wake up. yes. since then we have had this knock-on effect as people wake up.— effect as people wake up. yes, as --eole effect as people wake up. yes, as people start _ effect as people wake up. yes, as people start to — effect as people wake up. yes, as people start to use _ effect as people wake up. yes, as people start to use bell _ effect as people wake up. yes, as people start to use bell systems i effect as people wake up. yes, as i people start to use bell systems and realise they are not working as normal and for anyone interested in the detail, it seems to be linked to some sort of cyber security platform software called crowd strike, some sort of update with that is thought to have causes problems that are affecting the system that microsoft pcs, any pcs that use the microsoft system within businesses and companies that use that are affected in many cases, it seems to be what is causing the problem. itheihgt is causing the problem. what immediately _ is causing the problem. what immediately emerges, - is causing the problem. what immediately emerges, as i is causing the problem. what immediately emerges, as we j is causing the problem. what immediately emerges, as we are looking for constantly all the places affected, i'm seeing another airport, amsterdam, saying they are affected by the global it outage. then we look at things like the nhs and health and we are hearing this morning that the health booking

system used by gps, by doctors, is affected. you straightaway start to see the areas that can be in theory affected by the problems. we are also getting reports of patients at the royal preston hospital, because the royal preston hospital, because the it systems have been affected, patient appointments have been affected and we are getting reports that patients are being turned away because there will be a backlog, delays, and things will need to be rectified. , ., ., , rectified. yes, and at this point, i will make the _ rectified. yes, and at this point, i will make the point _ rectified. yes, and at this point, i will make the point i _ rectified. yes, and at this point, i will make the point i made - rectified. yes, and at this point, i | will make the point i made earlier that people will be upset, worried, frustrated by this, whether it is at a hospital, their gp surgery, and airport, railway station. that they cannot get their train, have their appointments, have their scan, whatever it is. just bear in mind that the staff there are dealing with an outage, and it problems on a scale they certainly will never have experienced this amount of

disruption. they will do their best to manage it. the way we rely on technology, the way organisations rely on technology means it is impossible to have that same efficiency when you do everything manually by hand and trying to do the best you can. just remember not to take it out on the poor staff delivery fl staff all the way along, we are making sure people are aware that there are practical problems. white as simon calder was saying, we aren't talking about danger for aircraft taking off and landing, thatis aircraft taking off and landing, that is normal. train systems, they will be delays and problems, largely to do with booking systems which are problematic but not related to any safety issues. let's talk about other areas affected. media companies are affected, broadcasters in particular, sky news, they have been knocked off air. this is made these

it outages, so this is what are seeing now. ina in a statement to the broadcaster obviously has apologised, saying it hasn't been able to broadcast live tv this morning and apologises for the interruption and saying it's news is still available online. here at the bbc, cbbc, as well. the message is clear and simple. i am reading, message is clear and simple. iam reading, as message is clear and simple. i am reading, as well that microsoft, the problems are related to microsoft. they are saying that multiple services are continuing to see improvements in availability as our mitigation actions are progress and we were speaking to a technology expert a little earlier on he was saying exactly that. just pause and wait and it will be improving over a period of time, or quit as it may be for some industries.

we will return to the issue of broadcasters having issues. let's speak to scott brian. lots of people tuning in, obviously they can watch me us us at breakfast. sky news, cbbc. anything else we know? i us at breakfast. sky news, cbbc. anything else we know?— us at breakfast. sky news, cbbc. anything else we know? i think it is very quickly — anything else we know? i think it is very quickly developing _ anything else we know? i think it is very quickly developing story. i anything else we know? i think it is very quickly developing story. sky i very quickly developing story. sky was notable to viewers because at 6am, when their breakfast programme would have kicked off, they would have instead seen back—up programmes or the title card. they have been unable to broadcast since. if you had been a sky news australia viewer, which of course sky news australia is different to the uk, they have also not been able to be broadcasting down under. they had a reporter from the studio and he was able to highlight that pretty much

everything within that studio had frozen, so the background screens, the autocue giving them the information coming through for them,
