in the last few minutes, the un's top court, the international court ofjustice, has delivered an advisory opinion, outling that israel's settlement of palestinian territories are in breach of international law. it had been examining the issue since the beginning of last year. joining me now in the studio to discuss this opinion is marco longobardo, reader in international law at the university of westminster. let me ask you first of all, this is an opinion, not a ruling. what does this outcome mean? it is an opinion, not a ruling. what does this outcome mean?— an opinion, not a ruling. what does this outcome mean? it is an opinion in the sense — this outcome mean? it is an opinion in the sense that _ this outcome mean? it is an opinion in the sense that it _ this outcome mean? it is an opinion in the sense that it was _ this outcome mean? it is an opinion in the sense that it was an - this outcome mean? it is an opinion in the sense that it was an advice i in the sense that it was an advice requested by the un by the court rather than a case against the state. forthis rather than a case against the state. for this reason it's not binding upon a state formally speaking but it's an assessment of international law by the principal judicial court of the united nations. it carries enormous moral and diplomatic weight since it shows not only is really settlement are on offer but the entire occupation

3:38 pm
let's speak to shannon felton spence in boston, who is the political strategist at harvard university's think tank the belfer center. good to talk to you. if i might ask you for your reaction to president trump's speech? president trump. last night was quite interesting because it was the final night of the republican national convention which has had a unique tone in trump world the entire week. it has been a more unifying message, they had a lot of speakers that would not normally be on the stage at the republican national convention. it has been sort of different from rallies or conventions in the past but last night he sort of started out that way, talked about the assassination attempt, he was very emotional and raspy and it looked like that speech was going in that direction and about one hour end, it turned into a typical trump rally.
3:39 pm
it is yet to be seen what the message will be going forward. what we know as this is the third time the republican party nominated donald trump as their presidential candidate and the transformation is complete. no longer there are republicans out there who are never trump, they are not republicans any more. this is a party completely unified under one man.— more. this is a party completely unified under one man. let's talk about president _ unified under one man. let's talk about president biden. _ unified under one man. let's talk about president biden. we - unified under one man. let's talk about president biden. we had . unified under one man. let's talk i about president biden. we had from one of his campaign staff on msnbc saying he is on it, looking forward to get on the campaign trail after suffering mild covid symptoms. what next? all this talk and rumour, nothing has come of it so far. there is not news — nothing has come of it so far. there is not news until— nothing has come of it so far. there is not news until there _ nothing has come of it so far. there is not news until there is _ nothing has come of it so far. there is not news until there is news - is not news until there is news about president biden and his withdrawal from about president biden and his withdrawalfrom the about president biden and his withdrawal from the race. about president biden and his withdrawalfrom the race. i about president biden and his withdrawal from the race. i will tell you that time is running out
3:40 pm
and so given what needs to happen procedurally with the democratic national convention which is up next, he would need to decide by next, he would need to decide by next weekend. my personal opinion is that there is no news until there is but given that they had missed their fundraising mark by 25% by the month ofjuly, after the debate and given that the senior democrats have come out and asked to reconsider the race, i think we may have some news on that front in the next ten days or so. ., ~' on that front in the next ten days or so. . ~ ,, on that front in the next ten days or so. . ~ i. ., ., ~ ., on that front in the next ten days or so. . ~ ., ., ~ ., , around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

a court in the russian city of yekaterinburg has found us journalist evan gershkovich guilty of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in prison, russian state news agency tass reports. gershkovich, of the wall street journal, was arrested in march 2023. russian investigators claim that he was, at the cia's request, collecting classified data about a russian tank manufacturer. the prosecution had asked for an 18—year sentence. independent news website agentstvo says that the conclusion of the trial in a "record" short time had given rise to speculation that a swap deal between russia and the us involving gershkovich may be done in the nearfuture. the us is pushing hard for the release of evan gershkovich who was found guilty of espionage. that is whatjoe biden said on friday. he said there is no question russia is wrongfully detaining evan, journalism is not a crime. that is the line from president biden. to the uk now, where police have made "several arrests" over a major disturbance in leeds that saw a police car overturned and a double—decker bus torched. west yorkshire police battled the "serious disorder incident" in the harehills estate as officers faced a barrage of bricks and missiles from a large crowd that gathered in the street on thursday night. police officer craig nicholls from west yorkshire police has been speaking about
3:43 pm
what happened last night. let's take a listen. what i will say is that there aren't enough police numbers, neighbourhood policing is an amazing tool to have when you have those numbers available but at this moment in time we don't have those police officers. we need at least double or triple the previous government have given us. west yorkshire will make sure the community is safe and police will put them first. let's speak to our correspondent, thomas magill who is in leeds. for those who don't know what happens talking through the events of last night. it happens talking through the events of last night-— of last night. it all kicked off after of last night. it all kicked off ofter five — of last night. it all kicked off after five o'clock _ of last night. it all kicked off after five o'clock last - of last night. it all kicked off after five o'clock last night l of last night. it all kicked off - after five o'clock last night when west yorkshire police were called by
3:44 pm
the children's social care department after social workers called them because they were met with hostility regarding a child protection matter. after that, violence started in the streets, a double—decker bus was attacked as where a number of other incidents took place, bricks and other small files were started, then a west yorkshire police car was overturned right here in the middle of the estate. we clean—up is well under way. the carcass of the burnt out double—decker buses removed, it is gone, it is on the back of a low loader and street cleaners now are using water and brushes to dampen down the smoulders and last remaining debrief from where the bus finally settled to burn itself last night. a lot of tension and concern
3:45 pm
in the area as well. west yorkshire police have made a number of arrests and say that more arrests could follow because a major investigation has been launched and they will be reviewing cctv footage in order to identify those people who were involved in last night's violence. i have been speaking to people within the community and also local community leaders. they have been calling for calm but there is fear, there is anger and it remains tense despite the fact the number of police in the area has significantly gone down from earlier today, hoping to quell that tension. more of the family we understand from people here that the family involved is from the roma community but that has not been confirmed by any officials yet here or within the west yorkshire police. for now, the area
3:46 pm
is quiet other than the noise of the street cleaners, and there has been a call from the community leaders for calm. ~ . ., , ., a call from the community leaders forcalm. ~ . a call from the community leaders for calm. ~ . ,':~ ., for calm. microsoft 365, a reminder the ower for calm. microsoft 365, a reminder the power outage — for calm. microsoft 365, a reminder the power outage we _ for calm. microsoft 365, a reminder the power outage we have - for calm. microsoft 365, a reminder the power outage we have seen - for calm. microsoft 365, a reminder. the power outage we have seen across the power outage we have seen across the world meant microsoft's subscription services were down for users and we have now heard in the last few minutes that microsoft 365 said they completed mitigation actions and their telemetry indicates all apps and services have now been recovered. that is the latest coming into us from microsoft on the power outage which has affected so many different areas. you can see there the blue screen of death which we have been reporting on here, it has been happening around the world, many computers
3:47 pm
impacted. microsoft 365 say some of those previously impacted apps have now been recovered. ukraine's president volodymr 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. 0ur 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.
3:48 pm
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. and the end of the cold war.
3:49 pm
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. and if a new team will come, we have to work with them. 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.
3:50 pm
with me is vitaliy shevchenko, the bbc russian monitoring editor. knew were there helping translation, what was it like?— what was it like? what struck me about the ukrainian _ what was it like? what struck me about the ukrainian president - what was it like? what struck me | about the ukrainian president was how energised he was. how energetic and untidy appear to be even though we were told that —— not tired he appeared to be even though we're told he woke up at 5am but determined to get his point across. i thought his english has improved greatly, a lot of the interview was in english which made myjob easier. and he made some really interesting points. few opened the door a bit widerfor the points. few opened the door a bit wider for the possibility of a diplomatic settlement. he said not all of the territory that russia controls now could or should be regained using purely military means. i think for the first time ever he used the words a diplomatic
3:51 pm
settlement. ever he used the words a diplomatic settlement-— settlement. interesting. we are seeinu settlement. interesting. we are seeing pictures _ settlement. interesting. we are seeing pictures of— settlement. interesting. we are seeing pictures of mr _ settlement. interesting. we are seeing pictures of mr zelensky i seeing pictures of mr zelensky shaking hands of keir starmer, addressing the cabinet today. tell me about the atmosphere. what was his performance like? he is me about the atmosphere. what was his performance like?— his performance like? he is a great communicator. _ his performance like? he is a great communicator. he _ his performance like? he is a great communicator. he is _ his performance like? he is a great communicator. he is sure - his performance like? he is a great communicator. he is sure of - his performance like? he is a great communicator. he is sure of the i communicator. he is sure of the historic nature of the visit, how rare these addresses are at the british cabinet. my impression is that he is used to this burden, this role he has been playing, and it's not exactly another meeting for him. he has been making this point time and again that britain is a leader or the leader when it comes to supporting ukraine and leading other allies in this kind of support. i think he will make the points about getting more assistance, more weapons, permissions to strike deeper into russia using western
3:52 pm
donated weapons. the fact is, when he comes back to ukraine it will be a slightly different reality where civilians are being slaughtered and on a daily and nightly basis, and he will help to respond or apply to the ukrainian people and see what have i brought from all these visits? goad brought from all these visits? good to talk to you. _ brought from all these visits? good to talk to you, thank _ brought from all these visits? good to talk to you, thank you _ brought from all these visits? good to talk to you, thank you for - brought from all these visits? good to talk to you, thank you for very much indeed. more now on our top story on the website. severe computer disruption has affected businesses and government services across much of the world. airports, banks, media outlets and hospitals are among those affected. suffering problems. a cyber security company, crowdstrike, said it had found a defect in its software update for users of microsoft windows. it said a fix had been deployed. 0ur cyber correspondentjoe tidy gave this explaination of how the outages happened.
3:53 pm
it is an antivirus software you download and have on your home computer but there is one of those for big companies. they put out what they hoped was an innocuous software update overnight which would have made the product better. we do it automatically when we are sleeping and we don't notice. this one had ourflaw in it. there and we don't notice. this one had our flaw in it. there was something wrong with the code sent out to the customers and bear in mind if they have 211,000 customers around the world that's 211,000 medium and small and large enterprises. that is potentially hundreds of thousands somehow on windows it bricked the computer. it broke the computer and
3:54 pm
meant you had a blue screen of death. that's what people are dealing with all over the world. it managers are trying to get what has just been released, the correct antidote, that piece of software, that can be done automatically over the internet. it has to be done with a manual process in most cases. fingers on keyboards to sort the issue. you'd imagine they would take a long time. but what we're actually seeing is the opposite. i'm seeing that some of the companies that are bouncing back up are the largest ones. american airlines, for example. you'd imagine they've got thousands of computers across the entire world. they have bounced back pretty quickly. and i think what that is, is it points to the companies that are large and they've got lots of computers. they're also well funded
3:55 pm
and they've got it departments that are well resourced. so i think they have bounced back and they are appearing to bounce back quicker than perhaps the small businesses or the medium sized businesses that don't have that well—resourced it teams. they might even outsource their it to a third party. i think where we might see the real crunch points is when you have a large company that isn't well resourced in the it side. so they've got lots and lots of computers and not enough people to fix them. the bbc live page is a good place if you want to learn more. pay could be impacted, workers might experience a delay following the outage. that is the body representing payroll providers. she says it could lead to a backlog . ._ ._ providers. she says it could lead to a backlog . ., a backlog which might delay pay for emlo ees a backlog which might delay pay for employees who _ a backlog which might delay pay for employees who are _ a backlog which might delay pay for employees who are paid _ a backlog which might delay pay for employees who are paid weekly i a backlog which might delay pay for employees who are paid weekly orl employees who are paid weekly or monthly. that is the latest line on the live page. stay with on the bbc news. hello there.
3:56 pm
the heat and the sunshine will last another day for many parts, but already change is afoot. today might well be the hottest day of the year so far, but there's rain not too far away already coming into the western side of scotland and the reason for all this heat is because we have been dragging in this heat and humidity from the south, thejet stream has been buckled to the west of us but now it is starting to gather and it will push those weather fronts across our shores through tonight and tomorrow. so at the moment, that southerly wind is still with us, the remnants of yesterday's weather front stuck across parts of scotland and northern ireland has given some early fog, but it's lifting, it's breaking, it's much drier and brighter on the whole but this rain will come into the western isles through the day. there could be an isolated shower further east across england and wales, but essentially it's a dry picture for most of the uk. more sunshine for parts of north—east scotland and northern ireland compared with yesterday, so a pleasant 22, but we might get into the high 20s and possibly 31 in the south and the east, which means a warm and a humid—feeling day, some refreshing sea breezes around the coast, but the sunshine's just as strong, and an oppressive night as well, really high
3:57 pm
humidity for sleeping. but by the time we get through the night, the rain's already taking shape, gradually pushing across northern ireland, northern and western scotland and approaching western fringes of england and wales. and that process continues through the day on saturday, the devil is in the detail, but it does look as though there will be some intense bursts of rain, thunderstorms as well mixed in with this and it could also destabilise the atmosphere a little bit further eastwards, provide us with some showers and thunderstorms here too. but for many central and eastern areas, still a lot of heat and humidity and a lot of dry weather tomorrow. further west, though, not great news, there could be some localised flooding. and that then progresses eastwards, that rain, through saturday night into sunday, so we may still wake up with some of that thundery rain around across eastern scotland, southern and eastern parts of england, but on the whole once that clears it is looking like a drier window of weather, it is just how quickly that clears away, and temperatures will have dipped as well. behind that weather system, the humidity lower, so a more comfortable night for sleeping sunday into monday. but you may have noticed the next low pressure starting to move in off the atlantic to bring more rain for a time on monday. a mixed bag going into next week, but for more details as ever you can

shutting down banking and retail systems, delaying trains and grounding flights. a faulty update by global security firm crowdstrike appears to be the cause of the problem they say a fix has been deployed. but, experts say a full resolution could take some time, because each computer affected will need to be manually rebooted. the un's international court ofjustice delivers an advisory opinion on whether israel's occupation of palestinian territories violate international law. hello, welcome to the programme. it's the it failure that has ground industries, retail services and even health care to a halt. aviation, banking and communications sectors have also been thrown into chaos. the cyber security firm crowdstrike has confirmed that an update to its software running on windows devices caused the problem.
