overnight leader dan brown. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. a global outage has hit computer systems right around the world, throwing industries from aviation and health care to banking and communications into chaos. the cyber—security firm crowdstrike has confirmed that an update it issued for windows devices running its software caused the problem, saying it's deployed a fix. but the effects have been far—reaching — flights have been grounded, some card payments stopped working, and pharmacies struggled to process prescriptions. we'll be speaking to our correspondents across the uk and around the world to bring you the very latest. first, nickjohnson has this report.

transport, banks, supermarkets and doctor surgeries. all cogs in the wheel of our daily lives, all impacted by a major global it outage. around the world, flights have been grounded, and here in the uk, rail operator govia thameslink says widespread it issues have been leading to short notice cancellations. those trying to see a doctor today have also been struggling. this gp clinic in barnsley says it has a major issue, with no access to its clinical system. this surgery in liverpool says it was only dealing with clinically urgent issues due to an outage with its computer systems. nhs england says the majority of gp surgeries are affected. and the national pharmacy association says services in community pharmacies,

including the accessing of prescriptions from gps and medicine deliveries, are disrupted. to the high street where the bakery chain gales says it's been unable to take in store payments. this branch in london saying it was only accepting click and collect orders. banks including santander and metro bank have also reported disruption to their systems. and the supermarket morrisons said earlier it had payment problems in some stores which have now been resolved. the outage has also reached the comfort of the living room. blue peter was replaced by birdsong on the cbbc channel and there was intermittent broadcasting from sky news. fix, channel and there was intermittent broadcasting from sky news. a ma'or ulobal it broadcasting from sky news. a ma'or global it outage d broadcasting from sky news. a ma'or global it outage is d broadcasting from sky news. a ma'or global it outage is hitting i global it outage is hitting businesses worldwide, including here at sky news. the businesses worldwide, including here at sky newe— at sky news. the cause? microsoft sa s...

that third party platform, the global cybersecurity firm which says the outage is... this is very much a global issue. police in alaska say their 911 emergency phone lines have been affected. supermarket checkouts in australia have crashed, and the outages hit security machines during preparations for the paris olympics, forcing staff to carry out manual checks. as and when systems get back online, it is not clear whether it will be business as usual or if it will be business as usual or if it will take some time for all those impacted to clear the backlog. nick johnson, bbc news. one of the biggest impacts so far has been on transport, and air travel in particular. more than 1,300 flights have been cancelled globally,

and that number is rising. lorna gordon is at edinburgh airport, what advice has there been to passengers? fin airport, what advice has there been to passengers?— to passengers? on a normal day in the summer. _ to passengers? on a normal day in the summer, this _ to passengers? on a normal day in the summer, this airport _ to passengers? on a normal day in the summer, this airport would - to passengers? on a normal day in. the summer, this airport would deal with about 56,000 passengers both arriving and departing, and this has caused significant disruption to many people's travel this morning so far. it has affected every system in this airport from the wi—fi to the check—in, to security. the systems are now back up and running but you can see that the airport is absolutely round as the airlines work their way through the passengers trying to check—in. some flights have been cancelled. the airport expect that number to rise because there is a knock—on effect, of course, with so many aeroplanes out of position, but there is a well practised plan here to help

passengers with 50 staff on hand to try to relay information.— try to relay information. thank you. that impact — try to relay information. thank you. that impact is _ try to relay information. thank you. that impact is being _ try to relay information. thank you. that impact is being felt _ try to relay information. thank you. that impact is being felt around - that impact is being felt around the world so let's head to europe next... and damien mcguinness at berlin airport. what has been happening? earlier today the airport were completely shut down essentially. when we arrived most flights were cancelled on the board, that has now changed with most appeared to be running but the queues are quite long and i have been chatting to people who have been chatting to people who have been waiting at the counters of airlines for six or seven hours waiting for information. they say there's not enough people manning there's not enough people manning the counter is to give them information. the staff are doing their best but it's not enough information coming through. we are seeing the odd plane taking off which is good news for people hoping to travel. the difficulty is at the best of times this airport is rammed at this time of year because this is

the week when children go on school holiday in this whole region around berlin, and now we have seen this disruption leading to large queues and i think we will see a day or two of this. across germany we have seen similar situations but probably the worst has been here in berlin. let’s worst has been here in berlin. let's no to the worst has been here in berlin. let's go to the uk's _ worst has been here in berlin. let's go to the uk's busiest _ worst has been here in berlin. let's go to the uk's busiest airport, heathrow and our transport correspondent katy austin. this was supposed to be the holidays, one of the busiest days of the year? yes. the busiest days of the year? yes, and for the — the busiest days of the year? yes, and for the uk, _ the busiest days of the year? yes, and for the uk, this _ the busiest days of the year? yes, and for the uk, this is _ the busiest days of the year? yes, and for the uk, this is meant - the busiest days of the year? yes and for the uk, this is meant to be the busiest day for air travel of the year so far with the highest number of uk flight departures due to take off since before the pandemic. summer holidays are really getting under way now, and we are due to see something of a bumper summerfor air travel. due to see something of a bumper summer for air travel. that due to see something of a bumper summerfor air travel. that means summer for air travel. that means everything summerfor air travel. that means everything is pretty stretched, and if anything goes wrong, it can have a really big impact. airlines around

the world have been affected to various degrees by what has happened today, some resorting to manual processes to get passengers on their way. globally at the moment it looks like about 11100 flights have been cancelled. in and out of the uk at the moment that figure stands at about 100 cancellations so far. the technical outage has hit travel around the world, affecting many airlines. british airways and ryanair just airlines. british airways and ryanairjust some of airlines. british airways and ryanair just some of the airlines. british airways and ryanairjust some of the carriers unable to use their it systems as normal. edinburgh airport stopped accepting incoming flights, people whose departures were cancelled asked to leave. at amsterdam's schiphol airport, the impact has been huge. the dutch airline klm suspended most of its operations. flights have been taking off and landing at heathrow are britain's busiest airport, but there are delays and cancellations on one of the busiest days of the year here.

among those affected has been american airlines, and here at heathrow airport terminal three, for a time this morning passengers were told they could not drop off their bags and had to go away and wait for more information. i bags and had to go away and wait for more information.— more information. i checked in onune more information. i checked in online last _ more information. i checked in online last night _ more information. i checked in online last night on _ more information. i checked in online last night on my - more information. i checked in online last night on my phone | more information. i checked in l online last night on my phone so more information. i checked in - online last night on my phone so we just need to get our bags through the bag drop and go to our gate but there is no gate yet and no bag drop. 50 there is no gate yet and no bag dro, y” there is no gate yet and no bag dro. i. ., there is no gate yet and no bag dro. ., . there is no gate yet and no bag dro. a, ., . | there is no gate yet and no bag dro. ., . icai’i drop. so you cannot check-in? i can check-in but — drop. so you cannot check-in? i can check-in but not _ drop. so you cannot check-in? i can check-in but not drop _ drop. so you cannot check-in? i can check-in but not drop my _ drop. so you cannot check-in? i can check-in but not drop my bags. - drop. so you cannot check-in? i can check-in but not drop my bags. i. check—in but not drop my bags. i have _ check—in but not drop my bags. i have got— check—in but not drop my bags. i have got tickets and my bag check but i have got tickets and my bag check but i can't — have got tickets and my bag check but i can't leave it.— but i can't leave it. many of the train operators _ but i can't leave it. many of the train operators have _ but i can't leave it. many of the train operators have seen - but i can't leave it. many of the train operators have seen an i train operators have seen an impact. most services are running but in some areas there have been short notice changes and cancellations, and problems with passenger information systems. the port of dover also had it outages this morning but it hasn't resulted in significant queues. people trying to fly today are being told to check the status of their flight before leaving for the airport. on such a

busy day, even when systems are up and running again, it will take time for things to get back to normal. many gp practices and pharmacies around the uk have been facing difficulties with their systems. our health editor hugh pym can tell us more. he is ata he is at a hospital in london. the osition he is at a hospital in london. the position at _ he is at a hospital in london. the position at most _ he is at a hospital in london. tue: position at most hospitals he is at a hospital in london. tte: position at most hospitals as he is at a hospital in london. "tte: position at most hospitals as far he is at a hospital in london. ttl: position at most hospitals as far as we can see is that critical and emergency care has not been affected. there are problems with it systems relating to patient transport and it back up and that sort of thing. one hospital has told me that for planning staff rotors and bringing in people for extra shifts, that has become very difficult because that system has been affected. but much of the biggest impact is with gp services, most of them who use an electronic medical record system. that is not working so they cannot get access to

records or details of previous consultations and test results. the message from gp practices is if you need urgent care, needing to see a gp or talk to a gp, phone systems should be working but only if it's urgent. even with prescriptions, they are having to write out prescriptions like they did in previous times. so clearly, it is very difficult out there for general practice. this seems to be a problem affecting england and not all practices but most of them affected, but as far as we can see, a limited impact in wales, scotland and northern ireland because of different systems. but the message from nhs england is that patients who need urgent and emergency care should dial 999 as usual, should use 111 but only sparingly if they are unwell, but clearly across many parts of the nhs and primary care gp services, this is a problem and they

are hoping it can be resolved quickly. are hoping it can be resolved cuickl . :, businesses across the country have also been hit by the outage. our business correspondent theo leggett is at london stock exchange. what has the reaction been? the city of london, what has the reaction been? the city of london. the _ what has the reaction been? the city of london, the financial— what has the reaction been? the city of london, the financial district - what has the reaction been? the city of london, the financial district is - of london, the financial district is part of an international industry and people communicate across international borders using computers, and we have seen the knock—on effect throughout the global industry. so banks in australia and china, metro bank in the uk have all suffered effects. there have been trading platforms suffering problems, so trading in currencies has been disrupted, trading in oiland currencies has been disrupted, trading in oil and gas and other energy stocks has been affected. the london stock exchange says it has been trading smoothly but there have been trading smoothly but there have been problems with information systems that traders rely on to get the information they need, so there's been this large level of disruption. in terms of individual

shares, the transport and leisure sector have been badly hit with share prices falling for companies like easyjet and ryanair, and that's because people are concerned about the impact on these companies with the impact on these companies with the big summer travel period coming up. insurance companies as well because if there is a compensation bill to be paid, they will ultimately have to pick up the tab. thank you. our deputy editor vicki young is in downing street, what can they do to help? downing street, what can they do to hel ? :, , downing street, what can they do to hel ? ., , ., downing street, what can they do to hel? ., ,., , ., downing street, what can they do to hel? ., ,., , :, help? that is a good question, you not a real help? that is a good question, you got a real sense _ help? that is a good question, you got a real sense of _ help? that is a good question, you got a real sense of the _ help? that is a good question, you got a real sense of the breadth - help? that is a good question, you got a real sense of the breadth of. got a real sense of the breadth of disruption in downing street saying this morning they are very aware of the impact this is having, and i think in a sense of their role is to have an overview of all of this. they say the government departments are working closely with all the relevant companies and the industries to offer their support,

to make sure they have got what they need to try to get back up and running. officials covering the areas, all these sectors have held a cobra meeting and that is the white hall's emergency unit. there are no plans to escalate that to a ministerial level but those officials are keeping ministers up on what is going on. they said is not a security or hacking incident, we have heard that from the company involved, the government saying no impact on 999 services but gp services have been affected. so the government role is to offer support, to talk about resilience, you know, this is an important part of the government work here, and they will continue to monitor the situation. thank you. we will get the latest from washington and tokyo, and our technology editor will tell us more about what caused the software problems and what is being done to fix them.

our top story this afternoon: airports, health care, banking and communication systems are struggling to get back online after a faulty update was issued by the security firm crowdstrike. and donald trump makes his first speech since surviving an assassination attempt, saying god was on his side. coming up on bbc news — the west indies are batting on day two of the second test at trent bridge, chasing england's first winning total, 416. 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". people living around harehills were told to stay indoors as the violence flared. thomas magill reports. the clean—up operation getting under

way after a night of violence on the streets of leeds. west yorkshire police were called to the area around teatime yesterday. as evening went on, violence grew. a double—decker bus was set alight. these pictures are being widely shared on social media. other fires were started and bricks were thrown. by midnight, the police had withdrawn. later returning in the small hours with the support of west yorkshire fire service. the harehills community rallied round to begin the clean—up of the disorder. it's the same message i've been giving all night — this community is yours, it belongs to us, anything that gets harmed in this community is ours. this bus was ours, this library is ours, these traffic lights are ours. we need to take pride in our own community and make sure that these kind of things can't happen here.

the home secretary, yvette cooper, has condemned the violence, saying local officials will work closely with the community to provide support and reassurance to prevent further disturbances. the scale of last night's disorder is evident today, unlike the reasons behind it. thomas magill, bbc news. well, in the last hour or so, there's been a big increase in the number of police in the area, some as you can see by me on foot, but others on horseback, hoping to quell the tension that is your following last night's violence. the local council are also hoping to do the same. i spoke to a couple of them today who have called for calm. but people here are angry and they are concerned about why this happened and more importantly why the violence escalated so quickly. well, we are expecting a statement from west yorkshire police in the next few minutes or so that may answer

those questions. thomas, thank you. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has become the first foreign leader to address the cabinet in person in almost three decades. he asked senior ministers to lift restrictions that stop the ukrainian military using long—range weapons donated by the west against targets inside russia. our political correspondent iain watson reports. keir starmer welcomed to downing street the first official visitor from overseas since he became prime minister. it's no coincidence that this was president zelensky. he's been given the rare honour of addressing the british cabinet. are you getting the support you need, president zelensky? applause. during the election period, the labour leader talked a lot about change. today he wanted to emphasise that a change of government did not mean a change of policy towards ukraine. we will stand with you and the people of ukraine for as long as it may take. and we back that up, obviously, with £3 billion

of military support each year. that's a very important commitment. we will speed up our delivery of vital aid and equipment. we have had the chance to discuss that this morning. president zelensky thanked britain for its steadfast support, but he also had an ask. he wanted the uk to persuade the us, in particular, to allow western supplied weapons to be fired deep into russia. we have proven that we can stop any russian attempt to expand the war if the restrictions on using western weapons against russian military are lifted. once we can strike further thanjust nearthe border, including russian military airfields. the last foreign leader to address the cabinet face—to—face was bill clinton back in 1997, and a labour government had just been elected then, but the world felt very different. people back in the 90s talked about a peace dividend at the end of the cold war. today's meeting talked about ramping up weaponry and providing more ammunition.

the government also said it would take action against what's been described as russia's shadow fleet. these are oil tankers sailing under flags of convenience, carrying sanctions busting cargo. the previous government identified some of these vessels. the new government has identified more and will ban them from british ports. but it's unlikely the prospect of a trump presidency didn't come up in discussions. in his bbc interview last night, president zelensky was asked how he would deal with the potentially less supportive us administration. for us, we have to work with the united states. and if a new team will come, we have to work with that. the ukrainian president leaves with the support of the fourth british prime minister that he is known since the conflict began. he said he himself would be willing to stand down when the war ends. that may still be some way off. iain watson, bbc news, westminster. some news just

some newsjust in, a court in central russia has convicted the wall streetjournal reporter evan gershkovich of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in a penal colony. the trial has been dismissed as a sham both by us officials and by his employer, the wall street journal. donald trump has given his first speech since surviving an assassination attempt at the weekend, saying �*god was on his side'. he was speaking at the republican national convention as he formally accepted the party's nomination to run for president once again. our north america correspondent nada tawfik was watching the speech in milwaukee. nada, his supporters had been waiting all week for this moment? they had. this was a speech that began sombrely. still wearing the bandage that some of his supporters had donned in solidarity, he told the crowd that they would not hear him recount the story of his assassination a second time because

it was too painful. while he did touch on wanting to unify americans, donald trump then reverted back to familiar themes that have played to his base and did not acknowledge his own role in setting off divisions in the country, as my colleague nomia iqbal reports. the republican party is now officially the party of trump. i proudly accept your nomination for president of the united states. thank you. cheering and applause. sporting his bandage, the former president talked about policies, grievances, and god. i'm not supposed to be here tonight. not supposed to be here. yes, you are! yes, you are! i stand before you in this arena only by the grace of almighty god. earlier, wrestling star hulk hogan got the crowd going. enough was 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 chanting, "fight, fight, fight." fight, fight, fight! there was blood pouring everywhere and yet, in a certain way, ifelt very safe because i had god on my side. i felt that. applause. 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. applause. most of which i've already built. what's 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's a very different story for his opponent, presidentjoe biden, where support for him seems to be breaking away. his health and fragility is in huge contrast to his death—defying opponent. president of the united states. reports suggest top democrat and close friend nancy pelosi has been telling colleagues that mr biden can be persuaded to exit the race soon. even former president obama, who recently 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 now advanced one of the most stunning comebacks in political history. nomia iqbal, bbc news, wisconsin. a manhunt is under way after a prisoner escaped from custody in west london following a visit to hospital. 63—year—old graham gong was taken to hammersmith hospital by prison staff yesterday after falling ill. he had been on remand for burglary offences at hmp wormwood scrubs. the foreign secretary david lammy has announced the uk will restart funding to the united nations refugee agency which supports palestinian refugees. it was frozen after accusations by israel that some of the agency staff are involved in the october seven attacked. mr lambie said lifting the pause was a moral necessity in the face of such a catastrophe. 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. in her first interview in the role, bridget phillipson said there would "have to be consequences" for parents who break the rules. our education editor, branwenjeffreys reports. the holiday was everything the melling family hoped for, swimming under the blue skies in egypt in 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 fining parents for holidays in her first interview in the drop. i think parents have responsibilities and their children should be in school. 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 would rather pay a fine of a few thousand pounds than pay £3000 more on a holiday. can you understand those decisions when families are under financial pressure? 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. 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, stable job as an adult, being able to communicate and socialise. 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 are well prepared for what comes next, that they have 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'rejust well—prepared the world to come. —— well—prepared for the world to come. 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. a reminder of our top headline this afternoon... airports, health care, banking and communication systems are all struggling to get back online after a faulty update was issued by the security firm crowdstrike. we will get the latest from our technology

editor and hear more about the effects across the world with our correspondence in washington and tokyo. and we we'll have a full forecast in the next half hour, but it's time now for a quick look at the weather. here's ben. oui’ our weather headline is that we now do have the uk's hottest day of the year so far. in the last half hour, we have reached 30.9 celsius. the best of the centre and right now is across england and wales. not quite like that everywhere, there is more cloud across western coasts, also across northern ireland and scotland. some rain approaching the far west. a little bit cooler here, further south and east those highs of 30-31. further south and east those highs of 30—31. feeling humid, but things do change over the weekend, some heavy rain during tomorrow and that will leave cooler conditions for all of us by sunday. i will have full details on the weekend forecast later in the programme. thank you, ben. in the early hours of this morning, problems started

right around abroad with the computer systems that control some of our biggest pieces of infrastructure. flights, car payments, gp appointments, a whole range of crucial things were affected. first, the problem seem to be with microsoft, then a cyber security firm said that a software update it sent was behind this. technology editor joins update it sent was behind this. technology editorjoins us. tell us more about crowdstrike and about what has gone wrong. it is more about crowdstrike and about what has gone wrong.— company that you may not have heard of. it offers antivirus services, basically. what it has done is put out an update overnight to a virus scanning tool that it already has available to its customers. unfortunately, what has happened is that update has reacted very badly, i think despair to say, with devices running microsoft's operating system. of course, there are millions of those around the world using things like microsoft 365. it has bricked those computers, they have got what is known like the blue screen of death. it means nothing is

happening. they have now issued a fix. they are saying that, basically, every single effect it is a nice round world will need to be manually rebooted in safe mode. this isn't quite as simple as turning it off and on again and it is probably going to need somebody who knows what they doing to do that. we know in companies, certainly some of these devices will be more accessible than others. this is a process, don't we now know what we're doing, which could some time. at first, crowdstrike issued a statement saying it was taking action and had fixed, but it didn't apologise immediately. that upset quite a lot of people. of all the outages i have covered, i think this is the most globally disruptive that i have seen so far.— is the most globally disruptive that i have seen so far. thank you. let's head to the — i have seen so far. thank you. let's head to the far— i have seen so far. thank you. let's head to the far east _ i have seen so far. thank you. let's head to the far east next _ i have seen so far. thank you. let's head to the far east next were - i have seen so far. thank you. let's| head to the far east next were some of the first effects of this were felt. our correspondent is in the heart of tokyo. what has been happening injapan and the wider region? just been happening in japan and the wider region?— wider region? just picking up on what is away — wider region? just picking up on what is away with _ wider region? just picking up on what is away with saying - wider region? just picking up on

saying they have had to pause operations but are starting to resume some flights again. the us secretary of state for transport has said they are monitoring the situation very closely, trying to work with airports and airlines about this. but we have seen scenes, for example, in airports when i have just been screens and screens of blue, not much movement, huge crowds of people wondering what to do, if there flights are going to take off or not. i think even though some sites are starting to get back off the ground again, there is going to be significant disruption for anybody travelling to or from within the us today. anybody travelling to or from within the us today-— still to come on today's programme... just one week to go until the olympics begin in paris, we will take a look back at the city's history of hosting the games. now it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm tanya arnold.

better, because the last few races, especially mercedes and mclaren, they have been delivering very strong. the organisers of the paris olympics say its it operations for the event have been impacted by the global cyber outage, just a week before the games begin. at the games' press centre, security checks outside were done manually using lists of names allowed in, and the accreditation desk was closed for a time. ticketing was believe to be unaffected at this stage. as you've been hearing in the news the issues have been affecting operations in many sectors including airports, airlines, media and banks. security preparations ahead of the paris olympics are continuing as the start of the games draws ever closer. the opening ceremony is due to take place on the river seine, which provides additional security challenges for authorities. as a result, organisers have erected kilometres of metal fencing, with access to certain areas of the city denied to those without the necessary qr code.

the head of paris 2024 said he is confident of executing what he calls his olympics opening ceremony dream plan. the best athletes will travel down the river seine in the heart of the french capital in what is expected to be the largest opening ceremony ever seen. several thousand athletes will be on the water, watched by hundreds of thousands of spectators. itruiith watched by hundreds of thousands of sectators. ~ , ~' :, spectators. with this kind of ambition for _ spectators. with this kind of ambition for the _ spectators. with this kind of ambition for the city, - spectators. with this kind of ambition for the city, we'll l spectators. with this kind of. ambition for the city, we'll have spectators. with this kind of- ambition for the city, we'll have to read it_ ambition for the city, we'll have to read it -- — ambition for the city, we'll have to read it —— adapt to different parameters. now we follow i think ten times— parameters. now we follow i think ten times a day the forecast to see at what _ ten times a day the forecast to see at what time we will need to re-adapt _ at what time we will need to re—adapt a little bit the ceremony, but definitely we are very confident now to _ but definitely we are very confident now to he — but definitely we are very confident now to be able to deliver the dream plan _ now to be able to deliver the dream lan. �* , :, , plan. let's return to the gulf because dan _ plan. let's return to the gulf because dan brown - plan. let's return to the gulf because dan brown is - plan. let's return to the gulf| because dan brown is playing plan. let's return to the gulf. because dan brown is playing in plan. let's return to the gulf - because dan brown is playing in his first opening championship and was the surprise leader on a brutal

opening day at troon. he has been out on the course this morning. fingers crossed, we can hear ben croucher this time. what are conditions like today of what has it been like for the players out there? what i was trying to tell you before was that conditions are a little better, but the breeze is picking up. it might be affecting some of the signals over here on the scottish coast. the conditions are a little easier than they were this time yesterday. the rain and drizzle seems to have disappeared. the wind has slowly picked up through the course of the morning, and it is making it still a very tough test for the world's best golfers, with scoring so far today a little easier thanit scoring so far today a little easier than it was yesterday. the sub—primes overnight leader was the unheralded englishman, dan brown —— dan brown, down on six under par overnight, playing in his first open championship, and he has slipped back to five under par, making a bogey on the fourth hole. still

playing very steady golf, having missed the cut in seven of his last eight tournaments. alongside him at five under par and co—leader is shane lowry, the 2019 champion from portrush. the irishman, supreme on the greens yesterday, and made a couple of birdies on his front nine, including the postage stamp, and a lovely approach to that fourth hole as well. but his round since unravelled. you got to seven under par and then when it came to the 11th, the railway hole, a tricky par four, one of the toughest on the course, his tee shot found the rough on the right, then he pulled it into the gorse bushes on the left—hand side and ended up making double bogey. we were there this morning in those gorse bushes, and let me tell you, if your ball goes in there, you are not getting it out again. no wonder he was struggling there. a number of the best players in the world, including jordan spieth, we have seen out of bounds on that

hole. we have seen matt fitzpatrick having to shoot from the bunker into the rough. scotty scheffler has been on his knees in the bunkers. although it may be a little easier, it is still very tricky.— it is still very tricky. watching ou it is still very tricky. watching you there. — it is still very tricky. watching you there, the _ it is still very tricky. watching you there, the seagulls - it is still very tricky. watching you there, the seagulls are i you there, the seagulls are struggling to fly behind you. let's go through the leaderboard. who should we be looking out for this afternoon?— should we be looking out for this afternoon? , ., , afternoon? this afternoon, may be the story of — afternoon? this afternoon, may be the story of those _ afternoon? this afternoon, may be the story of those trying _ afternoon? this afternoon, may be the story of those trying to - afternoon? this afternoon, may be the story of those trying to make i the story of those trying to make the story of those trying to make the cut. to bring you up to speed with the latest leaderboard, we can see brown and lowry are at the top of it on five under. billy halsall set one of the best rounds of the day, alongside dean burmester of south africa. justin thomas has dropped a shot already today. both of his opening shots into the rough on the left—hand side. scotty scheffler, the world number one, without doubt the best player in the

world so far this year, a level par round for him today to be on one under. if you look at the bottom, it is all about bryson dish rambo and rory michael wright. they are both looking to make the cut. we expect the couple sit at around four over par, may be drifting back to five over. yesterday, this wind calmed down a little bit as the day wore on. if that happens today, some of the late starters may be able to make the cut and may even be able to push up the leaderboard and challenge the likes of lowry and brown. :, ~' ,. challenge the likes of lowry and brown. ., ~' i:, challenge the likes of lowry and brown. :, ,, :, brown. thank you. good to get you one again- — the draw for the play—off for the women's european championships have taken place. wales are up against slovakia. the two legged matches will be played in october. england, the holders, sealed their qualification with a draw against sweden earlier this week. wrexham's players are currently stateside

and preparing for pre—season matches against premier league teams bournemouth and chelsea before travelling further north to face vancouver whitecaps. upon returning to wales, they will begin their league one campaign against wycombe wanderers on 10th august. having them in the us makes a pleasant change for their superstar owners to see them who normally find themselves following their team at odd times of the day. we caught up with one of them, hollywood actor mcelhenney, who told us the time difference between the us and uk makes watching matches difficult for him. he suffers from the same as the rest of us in that he gets worried in the morning. highlights from royal troon on bbc two this afternoon. you can follow it all on the bbc sport website and app throughout the day. it looks like it will be a fascinating day. good buy from us. let's bring you more on the news

that we brought you earlier in the programme that a court in russia has found a us journalist evan gershkovich guilty of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in prison. we can speak to steve rosenberg who is outside the court. you were there, steve, when this happened. not the result that his friends and family wanted to hear. trio. not the result that his friends and family wanted to hear.— family wanted to hear. no, but i think the result _ family wanted to hear. no, but i think the result that _ family wanted to hear. no, but i think the result that they - family wanted to hear. no, but i think the result that they would | think the result that they would have expected. remember, his supporters, friends and family, the wall streetjournal, us officials wall street journal, us officials had wall streetjournal, us officials had described what was going on behind me, that trial, is a sham trial, a bogus process, so they would have expected this. we went into the courtroom, the trial itself was held behind closed doors, we were allowed in for the verdict. the judge came in, said guilty, delivered this 16 year prison sentence. unprecedented, really, an americanjournalist sentence. unprecedented, really, an american journalist working sentence. unprecedented, really, an americanjournalist working in american journalist working in moscow americanjournalist working in moscow arrested, convicted of

espionage, sent to prison for 16 years. attention will turn out to whether some deal may have been reached or will be reached between moscow and washington on a possible prisoner exchange. that would help evan gershkovich go home. we know that there have been contacts between russia and america on this, we know that russia is open to the idea of a prisoner exchange, and we also know that russia views jailed americans as bargaining chips, as currency to be traded for russians gelled abroad.— currency to be traded for russians gelled abroad. steve, thank you. -- 'ailed gelled abroad. steve, thank you. -- jailed abroad- _ it is exactly a week until the olympics begin in paris. over 300 athletes will form team gb and appear on the summer's biggest sporting stage. they're predicted to take home more than 60 medals — including ten individual golds. and 14 teenagers are leaving the classroom and heading to paris to represent their country. among them will be 17—year—old phoebe gill from hertfordshire,

who is studying hard for her a—levels but will soon become the youngest british track athlete to take part in the games for more than 40 years. mike bushell went 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. 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. 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. 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! this isn't the first time that the games have been held in the french capital. they were first staged in paris in 1900, and then more famously in 1924 when the british runners eric liddell and harold abrahams won gold — later immortalised in the film "chariots of fire". our correspondent hugh schofield reports. paris, 1924... the 1924 paris games were staged in the western suburb of colombes, in a purpose—built stadium over what had once been a horse—racing track. this was where the athletic events took place, but also gymnastics and cycling. and a century on, it's still very much in use. what's wonderful is that so much of the original setting of those 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. let's return to our main story. a massive —— massive it outage has hit industries including banking, health care and aviation right around the world. it was caused by a faulty software update that was sent out by the tech company crowdstrike. it says it has released a fix for it,

but it's not that the repercussions may be felt for days. we can speak to our senior uk correspondent. how has this been affecting life around the uk? afternoon. we have been talking about how it is affecting countries such as japan and india, but about how it is affecting countries such asjapan and india, but it is really important to convey how it is affecting lives here, like local businesses, gps who own their own surgeries, and i've been on the phone this morning, bashing the phone, asking people what it has been doing for them, how it has been affecting their everyday life. i spoke to one gp earlier he said that he has been issuing prescriptions by hand. he said, i've been doing this and i was doing this years ago and i have had to do it again today because the it is just not working. and i spoke to one local business, a cafe in buckinghamshire, they have had to close because they can't take electronic payments. the lady said, i am really worried about how this is going to affect the local economy, how it is going to affect my profits. it is something ijust didn't need. i'm still reeling from covid. some really strong views

there. and just some relatively breaking news, a few minutes ago, royal surrey nhs foundation has declared a critical incident due to the it outage saying the issue has affected its it system that it uses to deliver radiotherapy this morning. lots of appointments they are cancelled. you know, people will be anxious in some cases for these appointments to come. and when they think they are going to them, they have been cancelled. obviously radiotherapy as a treatment for cancer, so it has really had some detrimental impact on people's lives. and we don't know when those appointments will be rescheduled. obviously, the nhs is already stretched, there is already a backlog of appointments, and obviously this is going to exacerbate that. then you have got schools who teach by it technology. some schools say they have had to divert from their usual curriculum because they have been unable to teach how they usually do. so, this is the impact it has been having

here. it's notjust in england. we have just got here. it's notjust in england. we havejust got some here. it's notjust in england. we have just got some recent copy about a hospital in belfast, the double department of health in belfast says around two thirds of gp practices in northern ireland have been affected by the it outage. they say the practices are unable to access records, generate routine prescriptions, or see the results of lab test. so there are some examples for you as to how it is affecting people in their everyday lives across the uk.— people in their everyday lives across the uk. :, ,, , :, :, ., now time to get your full weather forecast with ben.— time to get your full weather forecast with ben. thank you very much. forecast with ben. thank you very much- good _ forecast with ben. thank you very much. good afternoon. _ forecast with ben. thank you very much. good afternoon. it - forecast with ben. thank you very much. good afternoon. it is i forecast with ben. thank you very much. good afternoon. it is the i forecast with ben. thank you very i much. good afternoon. it is the uk's warmest day of the year so far. sun shining over central london earlier on for one of our weather watchers. temperatures in london right now around 30. the warmest spot so far, wesley at 31. not too far behind are places and naughty scalding in parts of northern ireland. for some north—western parts of the uk, these

guys are rather cloudy. that was how it looked in the western side of scotland. you can see the reason why, this type of count on our earlier satellite image. this is going to bring some outbreaks of rain and eventually it will bring a change to cooler conditions. generally work out for northern ireland and scotland. a little bit misty and lucky for western coasts of england and wales. but in some brightness, north—east scotland could see 25. and confirmation of those highs of 30—31 and down towards the south—east. those temperatures well above the norm for the time of year. pretty humid out there. it stays quite humid overnight tonight. quite misty and murky down towards wales and the south—west. and some outbreaks of rain are starting to push on across the western side of the uk. of those overnight temperatures really holding up, 13—17, maybe 18. it could be a little bit uncomfortable for sleeping. could be a little bit uncomfortable forsleeping. here could be a little bit uncomfortable for sleeping. here is that weather front moving its way in from the west during tomorrow. it develops a subtle wave here which means it might become quite slow—moving. some

heavy and persistent rain moving across south—west england and wales, northern england pretty went for a time, western scotland too. but across the eastern side of england, i think we will see more on the way of cloud but some brighter spells. it is going to be another pretty warm day, highs of 26—27. that could allow some sharp showers and thunderstorms to break out through the afternoon. it looks right through the afternoon tomorrow across wales into north—west england, across the isle of man, northern ireland, the western side of scotland. at easter in scotland, aberdeenshire sticking in some sunshine. we could get into the low 20s once again. and still feeling quite humid, the cooler air only really starting to work its way and behind this whether front, in quite a fragmented form, continuing to work its way east eastwards with some burst of rain during saturday night and into sunday. this frontal system clears through for the second half of the weekend. behind it, we get into this cooler, fresher air from the atlantic. so things are going to be a quite different for sunday. that said, it will not be a

bad day weather wise, there will be some spells of sunshine. i think we'll see more cloud rolling in from the west, still some spells of hazy sunshine. equally, just one or two back showers, but have a look at the temperatures for sunday afternoon, 15-22. if temperatures for sunday afternoon, 15—22. if anything, a touch below the average for the time of year. and there is no real sign of any significant heat returning during next week either. that said, still feeling pretty warm any strong july sunshine, could be into the mid 20s across southern parts. there will be some outbreaks of rain at times, but not all the time. some drier interludes. that's all from me. thank you, ben. that's all from today's bbc news at one. you can keep in touch with all of latest on the mass outage on bbc news online and on the bbc news app. goodbye. online and on the bbc news app.
