there hasn't been a lot of visible activity here at the headquarters of crowdstrike, based in austin, texas. you can only imagine, though, what is going on inside. before today, crowdstrike had built a pretty strong reputation in a relatively short space of time for providing top it security solutions. it's operating in more than 100 countries worldwide, it's relied upon by so many different types of businesses and as well as it security, what crowdstrike also does is investigate hacks and do some detective work on the hackers that are behind major cyber attacks. now, the chief executive officer of the company has said he's deeply sorry. he has been speaking on an american business news network today. but as for why the problems happened in what was supposed to be a pretty routine update, the answer to that still isn't clear but some experts have speculated that perhaps

it was a lack of testing which led to some weaknesses slipping through. so, from now on, crowdstrike are going to clearly face some credibility problems. their stock price has already fallen and there are growing questions about why so many different businesses and public services are reliant upon one company behind it all. and there are growing questions, too, about what repercussions software firms like this should face when flaws cause major disruption. the bbc�*s rebekah vardy reporting from texas. one democrat in the us congress says president biden didn't seem to recognise him ata meeting injune, despite their long friendship. seth moulton repeated calls thatjoe biden shouldn't seek re—election because of his age. the flurry of criticism came after mr biden�*s team insisted he'd return to the campaign trail next week. he's currently isolating after contracting covid—i9. in an update earlier, the president's doctor

said his symptoms have improved and his vital signs were normal. donald trump says he's spoken on the phone to president zelensky of ukraine. he vowed to end ukraine's war with russia if elected. writing on his social media site truth social, mr trump said he'd proposed that both sides come together to negotiate a deal to end the violence. ukraine's president confirmed the call in a post on x. he said he'd agreed to meet mr trump and discuss what steps were necessary to make peace in ukraine fair and truly lasting. kyiv�*s allies are concerned that if elected in november, mr trump would force the country into accepting a partial defeat. let's speak to daniel lippman, a white house reporterfor politico. gifford joining us on

programme. let's start with those reports, those calls president biden. stepping aside ahead of the election. what we know about the conversations that are happening behind the scenes at the moment, especially within his family and his closest advisers? yeah, it's really _ and his closest advisers? yeah, it's really coming _ and his closest advisers? yeah, it's really coming down - and his closest advisers? yeah, it's really coming down to - and his closest advisers? yeah, it's really coming down to the l it's really coming down to the wire because you've had more than a dozen elected democrats in congress on friday call for biden to step aside and such calls had come, you know, for a few days after the assassination attempt, had not been happening but after the republican convention and, you know, at the end of it, the calls started to pick up again because there are a lot of concerns that biden could lead to a historic landslide where democrats up and down the ballot would be defeated because of his weakness as a candidate and the fact that many democrats, most democrats and many americans, don't think

that he is equipped to be president for the next four years and so, i think, you know, you've seen, according to our sources, the senate majority leader, told biden themselves hey, our sources, the senate told biden themselves hey, you inaudible good for the democratic party —— pelosi. they are reporting at the moment within the us media that how does he bow out of this gracefully? that's what we are hearing. those of the discussions among his team. how would he do that?— would he do that? yeah, so they are looking _ would he do that? yeah, so they are looking at — would he do that? yeah, so they are looking at venues _ would he do that? yeah, so they are looking at venues and - would he do that? yeah, so they are looking at venues and dates| are looking at venues and dates to make a speech where he could potentially bow out. it's always an issue of logistics and scheduling right now because he is

and so, for the next few days inaudible maybe do a speech at the white house to kind of put a capstone to his presidency, to tell people, you know, to kind of lock in his legacy for the history books. is going to just do a statement or a tweet, saying i'm not running. so he knows that this is a big moment and so, he wants to talk about everything he has accomplished and then, there's the issue of whether to do it before or after israeli president netanyahu visits in the next week or so. i netanyahu visits in the next week or so— week or so. i guess the difficulty _ week or so. i guess the difficulty for— week or so. i guess the difficulty for the - week or so. i guess the - difficulty for the democrats is should he step aside — and it's still a question whether he will definitely step aside, the question is who replaces him and that a difficult challenge for the democrats. it and that a difficult challenge for the democrats.— for the democrats. it is, because _ for the democrats. it is, because it's _ for the democrats. it is, because it's not - for the democrats. it is, because it's not going i for the democrats. it is, | because it's not going to for the democrats. it is, . because it's not going to be for the democrats. it is, - because it's not going to be a traditional primary where you

have lots of time for candidates to make their case. what's interesting is that some of the rivals who are going to make their candidacy known like gavin newsom, the governor of california, governor of michigan gretchen whitmer, they said if biden will not run, they probably will not put their hat in the ring. it kind of leaves vice president kamala harris, who is not particularly popular, but there's also no question of her mental competency and her physical fitness. so we would see an open primary. i'm sure we would see a number of candidates. and then whoever gets that would pick their vice presidential candidate. they would start the process of getting introduced, reintroduced to the american people so that the us and voters who are swing voters, they can make up their minds

and take the fight to donald trump and i'm sure we will see some debates to and maybe two or three to maybe test out which candidate is the best for the american people. {iii which candidate is the best for the american people. of course, the american people. of course, the former— the american people. of course, the former president _ the american people. of course, the former president donald - the former president donald trump have a successful republican national convention and off the back of it has had and off the back of it has had a phone call with president zelensky, vowing he will end the war with russia. he still has not spelt out how he would do that. he has not spelt out how he would do that. . , has not spelt out how he would do that. ., , ., ,., do that. he has not. he said he can do within _ do that. he has not. he said he can do within 24 _ do that. he has not. he said he can do within 24 hours - do that. he has not. he said he can do within 24 hours which i can do within 24 hours which has been widely mocked among foreign policy experts, since this is a complicated negotiation and, you know, there is an expectation that ukraine would have to give up some of the land that russia has because it's just not realistic in the eyes of the trump team to not do that or,

you know, they could have anotherfour you know, they could have another four years of fighting, which trump does not want to do. kind of wants to focus on the us and does not want to have to write an open chequebook to ukraine with aid and so, as a lot of concern among the ukrainians that if trump comes back, ukraine's time could be limited in terms of getting aid but, you know, it kind of reflects what americans think, which is we don't want to give into putin and russia that we also want to have kind of a negotiated peace and not of endless war.

fully realise or have decided what his policy is and so, he's still shaping it, what his policy is and so, he's stillshaping it, he what his policy is and so, he's still shaping it, he wants to give himself some ability to manoeuvre and he wants to see how kind of everything shakes out. it was one reason why house speaker mikejohnson gave house speaker mike johnson gave to house speaker mikejohnson gave to pass the tens of billions of dollars in aid a few months ago, that he wanted to give, to put ukraine into a better negotiated position that if trump got back into office, that ukraine would be, could negotiate from a position of strength rather than feeling like they have to capitulate to everything putin wants. daniel li man, everything putin wants. daniel lippman, thank— everything putin wants. daniel lippman, thank you _ everything putin wants. daniel lippman, thank you for - everything putin wants. daniel lippman, thank you forjoining us. lippman, thank you for “oining us. . ~' lippman, thank you for “oining us. . ~ , ., let's get some of the day's other news now. a child and two adults have been killed by a russian missile in southern ukraine. it hit a playground in a residential area of mykolaiv, a city

from all government operations. the white house called it the first comprehensive strategy to tackle plastic use nationwide. let's speak tojenn engstrom. she's a state director at calpirg and a co—author of plastic bag bans work — a major report into reducing plastic consumption. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. a question as to how much of a game changer this policy announcement is because this is only federal purchases and not individual state purchases? that's true, but the us government is the world's largest purchaser of goods and services and its purchasing decisions can have a global impact. so if the us government is moving away from single—use plastics, it's really a big

deal. especially when you add that with all of the work that's already been done at the state and local level to move away from single—use plastics. how far behind the rest of the world is the united states on this issue, because we have seen numerous countries announcing similar bands. why has it taken the us so long to do this? �* , ., ,, do this? it's true that the us government _ do this? it's true that the us government has _ do this? it's true that the us government has been - do this? it's true that the us government has been slow l do this? it's true that the us| government has been slow to take action on reducing single—use plastic waste but a lot has been done at the state and local level and that adds up, so over 12 states, for example, and over 500 cities have faced a ban on plastic grocery bags and there is also cities and states that are moving away from single—use foam and take—out containers, so when you add all of the work that's been done across the state and local level, there is a lot but it's true that the federal level, really, the federal level, really, the federal government has been behind. that's why it's so

great to see this action proposed by the biden administration. it really is time for the federal government to start taking action as well. and the public to get involved in these issues. we saw the use of plastic straws being mentioned at the recent republican national convention. how do the american or how does the american public react to initiatives like this? i the american public react to initiatives like this?- initiatives like this? i think there is general— initiatives like this? i think there is general support i initiatives like this? i think i there is general support from moving away from unnecessary single—use plastics— things like plastic bags and cups and take—out containers, things that we know we don't need and just end up as trash in our communities. they litter our parks and beaches and harm our wildlife. ithink parks and beaches and harm our wildlife. i think there's a lot of support for our moving away from those and towards more reusable products. i think sometimes, our elected officials will try to make these seem more like a culture war and they really are when we know that most of the public really does just what clean communities and they don't want

anywhere near the efficiency they need without these 14,000 cast members on the job. i understand, correct me if i'm wrong, there has not been a strike like this for 40 years? if it does go ahead, what kind of an impact would it have? obviously, we would have a huge obviously, we would have a huge impact on notjust disneyland but tourism throughout southern california. disney obviously is a majorfilm studio california. disney obviously is a major film studio and just went through a major strike last year with actors and writers on strike but it didn't affect their ability to put films in theatres or have tv shows for people to watch. the striker disneyland though, the park will not be able to operate at the same capacity, so this would be a much more direct, immediate revenue impact on the walt disney company. impact on the walt disney company-— impact on the walt disney coman. ., ~' . robert niles. two pandas at a zoo in the united states have made their official debut. yun chuan and xin bao

to the high 20s in celsius. in fact, it was the hottest day of the year so far, with nearly 32 degrees recorded in stjames's park in london. but the heat is not set to last, because it will be turning cooler through the weekend, distinctly fresher by sunday. still some clear spells out towards eastern areas of england. it's going to feel muggy and warm, uncomfortable for sleeping. this is how we'll start off the day at 7:00am in the morning on saturday. temperatures for some towards the east already 18 or 19 degrees. so on saturday, then, we'll start to see that rain move across northern ireland, western scotland, through wales and into northern england too. it could stay dry and fine for much of the day across eastern areas of scotland. some of these showers likely to be heavy as we head through the afternoon in the south—west of england, and there could be one or two thundery showers,

too, breaking out towards these eastern coastal areas. top temperatures 25 or 26 degrees out towards the east. we're hanging onto that muggy—feeling air through the day on saturday, but it does feel fresher by sunday. now, we've still got a legacy of cloud through the morning for eastern parts. that's going to clear away. one or two showers developing, but also some sunshine, and then, yes, more cloud once again out towards the west, especially through the afternoon. temperatures this time just 15—22 degrees celsius. that's quite the drop in temperature from friday to sunday, and then on monday we've got more weather fronts moving through, likely to bring some further showers, some outbreaks of rain, and again some rather blustery conditions perhaps towards southern areas of the uk. we won't all be seeing the showers, some areas perhaps staying dry. there will be some brighter spells, perhaps, here and there. most of the rain out towards the north and the west as we go through monday, but temperatures just slightly

below, for some, the seasonal average —16—22 degrees north to south. by the time we get to tuesday and wednesday, a little ridge of high pressure will bring some drier conditions, and it could start to feel a little warmer again, but certainly not the sort of heat that we saw on friday. bye—bye for now.
