doing what you enjoy. and we celebrate with world war ii veteran christian lamb as she turns 104. good morning all, friday's heat and humidity will be replaced as we go through the weekend with cooler, fresher conditions and even rain at times, but don't despair if you have plans, there will be dry weather the forecast and if you want all the details you will have to keep watching. it's saturday 20 july. plane, train, bank and health services are still dealing with the aftermath of yesterday's global it outage. a faulty software update caused cancellations and disruption around the world. airlines, gp surgeries and pharmacies were some of the worst affected, and are now facing huge backlogs as a result. our correspondent vincent mcaviney has this report. a day of worldwide it chaos, thanks to an update meant
6:02 am
to protect systems, but which instead paralysed them with this blue screen. train services and airports were badly affected with thousands of flights grounded all over the globe, from the uk to asia and the us. this flight radar data shows us skies emptying out as the outage took hold. delays and cancellations are expected to persist ambulance services across the country have reported a surge in demand as a result. if you have an urgent problem, you should contact your own gp surgery, either in person or by telephone. and if that's not possible and you're worried, then you are to go online and have a look at messaging from 111 or call 111. it even affected software used by broadcasters,
6:03 am
knocking some tv channels off air. cafes, restaurants and shops were also left unable to process payments. we had a lot of problems with the card machine. the cards are not coming through. it's just there's no signals. at crowdstrike, we monitor trillions of cyber events... the cause? a single update from this us antivirus company. you may not have heard of crowdstrike before, but it has nearly 2a,000 business customers around the world, many of them huge organisations like airlines and banks. we stop a lot of bad things from happening. we're deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers, to travellers, to anyone affected by this, including our companies. so, we know what the issue is. we're resolving and have resolved the issue. now, it's recovering systems that are out there. to be clear, this wasn't a hack or cyberattack, so you don't need to change any passwords.
6:04 am
it only affected machines running microsoft. but every single one will need a manual reboot in safe mode, which is not as simple as turning it off and on again. microsoft says some people have to do this as many as 15 times. we've been long encouraged to keep our devices' software up to date, but there are now questions as to how one faulty update could have brought so much chaos. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. the antivirus firm crowdstrike has apologised for the disruption caused, but there are now questions about how a routine update went so wrong. our us correspondent emma vardy sent this report from outside the compa ny�*s headquarters. 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
6:05 am
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
6:06 am
firms like this should face when flaws cause major disruption. let's hear now from our business reporter nick marsh about how this it outage has been affecting people worldwide. nick, just how widespread was this issue? this is certainly something that has made an impact to people's lives, getting on with stuff every day. you could say that. _ getting on with stuff every day. you. could say that, it has been called the largest it outage in history by some experts, we are talking about an unprecedented situation. it actually started here in this part of the world more or less, just by simple virtue of the time zone, when people start their day. we started getting reports from australia, we thought it was a localised issue there, how long we were. then it slowly strode to changi airport in singapore, doctor's surgeries in the uk and as the us started to wake up, we started getting reports that was causing chaos there. that was the bad news, the good news is as we have been hearing, i think has been
6:07 am
found and now the painstaking process of rebooting individual computers has begun —— effects has been found. but things are so much better now than they were yesterday. —— a fix. yesterday we were hearing about a disturbance in the leeds area, we saw some pictures that were really quite shocking. the update on that this morning is five people have been taken into custody after that disorder which broke out in leeds, with police warning further arrests will be made as part of what it calls its" relentless" investigation. west yorkshire police said trouble flared in the harehills area of the city, after officers responded to a child protection issue. our reporterjim connolly has more. violence and chaos, leaving residents scared, businesses forced to close and a whole lot of mess to clear up. we saw the police make several arrests, and they've promised more to come. it may have calmed down
6:08 am
but it's left residents having to come to terms with what they witnessed outside their own homes. yeah, i was frightened and scared. scared to come down here, really, because you don't know what they're carrying or — or anything. police vans up the road, further upside — police vans up the road, further upside down. ijust think it's — they've no respect. 2a hours ago, there was a burnt—out double—decker bus ride here. ——right here. things have calmed down a lot since then and the police and the local residents in the area will be hoping that continues for the rest of the weekend. thursday night's violence happened after the police and social services removed children from a family. the romanian and roma community became angry with the authorities. last night, they gathered peacefully in solidarity with the family after this call for calm. continue to have faith and to stand together and to avoid any disruption and tension, and not to do any damages because there's already a big damage and we don't want to continue to
6:09 am
bring more suffering. we want to show the family that we are next to them and they need us to be in peace with them. senior police met the government to discuss community tension and the impact social media had on events. many people will have seen on their social media some of the really shocking scenes of audacious criminality, and that's why it's really important that those individuals face the full force of the law. footage of the chaos will continue to be shared on social media — a reminder of what happened here. residents and the police willjust hope it doesn't spark more trouble. jim connolly, bbc news, leeds. our reporter, jessica lane is at the scene for us this morning. we have seen some of those pictures, they are shocking images. bring us up—to—date this morning. imean, you i mean, you can i mean, you can see i mean, you can see things here are a lot calmer this morning, you might be able to see behind me whether tarmac is slightly data, that has
6:10 am
been melted —— darker. that is where the double—decker bus was satellite and has a night and that is one of the shocking images a lot of us will remember. but much calmer here this morning, quite a large police presence here, two or three police vans and these are full of police officers. we spoke to some of them this morning and they say it has been calm overnight, they have not had to make any more arrests, which they are pleased about, as are people who live and work in this area. there is some debris still around, we have seen some broken glass, you can see the ben he has been knocked over and you can see several signs like this one, it says "please give back children", and we believe that refers to the incident involving social services which are said to have sparked all the disorder. . ~ said to have sparked all the disorder-— said to have sparked all the disorder. . ~' , ., , . joe biden said he's looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week after his isolation with covid. pressure mounted on the us president overnight, when a democratic congressman, who described mr biden as a mentor and friend, didn't seem to recognise him at a d—day

6:34 am
in mozambique on a mission in a world where nature is under relentless attack, there are still places that have been left untouched. this is about as good as it gets, the forest is in excellent condition. the water is crystal clear. mount mabu is an isolated patch of rainforest, almost like an island. this isolation has meant that the animals that live here have evolved uniquely. inaccessible for decades due to war, it's only now that scientists are discovering
6:35 am
mount mabu's secrets. sh—sh—sh—sh—sh—sh. wow, that is amazing! this is a bicyclus butterfly. this is a nadzikambia baylissi, - which is only found on mount mabu. mabu forest is quite special for beetles. i collected ten species, half of them were new to science. these ones could be a new species, we hope. it's amazing! will proving what lives here in this forest is unique be enough to secure mount mabu's protection? limbui, northern mozambique, familiar territory for professorjulian bayliss. it's nearly 20 years since he first came here, having worked out from satellite
6:36 am
images that there could be a hidden rainforest on top of mount mabu. the relative size of the forest compared to what's left in southern africa, i think, was the discovery. not that it was never seen or known by humankind before, because obviously the local people were here and they're hunting in it. what was your reaction at that point? oh, my god, i mean, what have we discovered here? this is phenomenal, that we found the largest rainforest forest in southern africa. since then, professor bayliss has been leading expeditions of scientists into mabu, trying to gather evidence to justify the forest�*s protection. there's only a limited amount of resources available to try and protect places, and somehow and some way, you've got to try and, unfortunately, rank them in terms of importance. the more new species we can find, the greater the justification to try and protect the places like mabu.
6:37 am
this one. wait, wait. we were invited to join professor bayliss on one of his biggest and most ambitious expeditions yet. no scientists have ever been into the centre of this forest. we'd be the first group, 25 people strong, national and international scientists going into the centre of mabu forest. and we're going to find new species. yeah, get that duct tape over there. getting there is quite an operation. once you drive into the village, the end of the road, if you like, and that's where the vehicles stop, everything gets unpacked from the vehicles. the villagers come out, we talk to the chiefs. they show us their traditional ceremony, where they call to the spirits of the forest and they ask the spirits of the forest to grant us access, and also to grant us safe passage and look after us while we're in the forest. on this occasion we had 64 porters. everything is being carried. everything is on top of their heads. everything is on foot.
6:38 am
there is very little difference between what happens from those vehicles onwards to, you know, to what was happening 100 years ago or 150 years ago. even with our equipment being carried by porters, the walk in, straight up the side of the mountain to the centre of the forest, is tough, as our cameramen quickly discovered. how is it, tony? yeah... any regrets? quite a few, actually! where do you want to start? it looks like we're probably not going to get to the camp until after dark. that's just the first step towards getting into the middle of this forest. day turned into night, and, after eight hours of walking, we and the scientists staggered into the first base camp on the edge of the forest.
6:39 am
oh, my lord. i was dying, my love. i know, i said all the time - to everyone that i was feeling sorry for you. laughter just a day in, and mount mabu was already showing her tough and special sides. i was just walking and i spotted he was like four metres up in, in a small vine. it's a chameleon, which is only found on mount mabu. there is a couple of other species of the same genus which are found on other neighbouring mountains. each mountain basically has its own, and this one has been named afterjulian bayliss. so it's called nadzikambia baylissi. it's a tree chameleon, so hence the long tail. the long tail, yeah. the next morning, the porters, the scientists, and us were on our way again to our final destination,
6:40 am
1,400 metres above sea level. welcome to the centre of mabu forest, welcome to the heart of mabu forest. something like that, where we're going to survey the biology, the ecology, the plants, the animals. these are collectively known as "islands in the sky". and they're high altitude mountains with pockets of wet forest found at a high altitude near their summits. because they've been isolated and separated for a very long time, the plants and animals we found inside them have had plenty of time to speciate and become endemic, and become new and not found anywhere else in the world. amongst the group are a small team of bird experts. they've come here with a very specific mission. makes a popping sound
6:41 am
we're headed to the very highest parts of the mountain, looking for what is one of africa's rarest birds, and a bird whose very existence is threatened by climate change. its name, the namuli apalis. a yellow belly, a black breast that's beautiful olive green wing, and a inquisitive, rather, currently rather angry pale whitish eye. so this is the first—ever photo that was taken back in 1998. exactly, yes. and here is a painting done by my colleague jess lund of the same species, which really beautifully captures its slightly imperious nature. yeah, it looks quite a character. it is! that's perhaps why it's so hard to find. the namuli apalis lives only at high altitudes and right up in the canopy, so finding any trace of it from the ground
6:42 am
is quite an effort. we've got pre—recorded calls of the bird from previous - expeditions from the namuli - and we're going to play the male territorial song and evenj a male and female duet. i and if there are any namuli apalisl here, sometimes they will respond. birdsong sometimes even _ when they're with the flock, they may show some curiosity, i they might give a burst of calljust to announce their presence. they may come have a look. so the hope is that the namuli apalis will hear what you're playing on your iphone and your bluetooth speaker. yes. and come and check it out, because they think it might be... exactly. ..a mate or something. exactly. did you hear what's happening there? so one of its related species i is probably calling in response. because the calls sound a little bit similar, - and often if they hear. a similar sounding call, they'll often call back. but that's a black—headed apalis calling, not the namuli. - you can tell thatjust by listening? yeah, yeah. you've got a very trained ear!
6:43 am
well, this is, yeah, - we've got a lot of experience with these species, so it takes. a long time to get to that point. sh—sh—sh—sh—sh. so, i'm doing this noise, - because a lot of birds find it — it almost sounds a bit like a bird alarm call, | it's a similar tonal rangej and so birds often find it interesting to come and look at or they think it's - another bird alarming. sh—sh—sh—sh—sh. with the namuli apalis only found on one other mountain, the fear is that a combination of deforestation and rising temperatures are pushing the apalis ever higher towards possible extinction. the climate change often has these i effects that are hard to predict. l so, for example, birds that like cold habitats, like why do they like cold habitats? do they like to be cold? you know, does their metabolism work better in a cooler climate? _ but there could be other effects, like for example, we found - in another study around cape town with a threatened species - where the warmer habitats actually | seem to encourage snake activity. | and those snakes predate the nests,
6:44 am
so the birds seem to be faring - really poorly in areas - where the climate seems to be warming. so, i might need to "de—ant" in a minute. as we hack our way through the forest, we come under attack by millions of red ants. i'm afraid i'm totally anted up. so let's get rid of them quickly. 0oh! yo, my word, millions! the only way to deal with it is to pull your trousers down and try to find them. no, we didn't stand out on a nest, they're hunting insects... ah! excuse me, we might have to edit that bit. but they... ..they're hunting insects, and they're moving in a big trail. and as the insects move ahead, they grab them like grasshoppers and crickets, and they eat them or take them back to the nest. not for the first time on this trip, the bird experts returned to camp with no sign of the namuli apalis.
6:45 am
in the river by our tents, this mozambican scientist was having better luck. i'm erica tovela, a marine biologist. i'm fascinated by freshwater fishes. erica brought to mabu a collection of traps and nets. she says she's confident that one of the fish she caught hasn't been seen by scientists before. so we have, like, the same genus, but probably for these ones could be a new species we hope. so we already took samples for genetics, and we will do morphometrics too, and try to compare to the other ones, describe it. what is it about the fish that you found that makes you think that it might be a new species? ok, the first thing is just the area, like, it's very, very high. when we're trying to follow the features, something was a little bit different because for this area
6:46 am
we have two species, and some of them was really different from the two ones that we have. so you think it's a possibility it's different? yes, because i was sharing this information with one of the experts for this group and they said, "ok, this is amphilius for sure," but i think that it's something new for science. and i hope that we have a new species for this area. it's very exciting. amazing! amazing, we'll be the first fish for me. will you get to choose what it's called? it should be something mabuensis, amphilius mabuensis, because you have many things... mabuensis is for mabu? for mabu, yeah, yeah. 0k. and we'll be a very nice way of saying that we have at least one specific species that is from mabu.
6:47 am
as well as leading the expedition, professor bayliss loves a flutter. butterflies is my passion. that's the first group that i started looking at the age of seven. i got two there. if you're a butterfly specialist, if you're a butterfly enthusiast, you go searching for special butterflies that may or may not be there, and that gives you that extra energy to go that one step further and that one step further takes you into a different world of exploration. you make it to the top of the peaks, you make it over the ridge, you make it into the valley bottoms just to see what's there and what you can find. and you found quite a few new species here? yes, i have yeah, yeah, i think we've got about 10, 12, 10 to 15, including subspecies. and some of them are around here now? yeah. that sounds like a charaxes in there. let's go and have a look. that is a charaxes. where's it going? it's looping. there it is, there it is. 0k, wait.
6:48 am
this is a female cymothoe butterfly, one of the new ones that we found a few years ago. it's a "montane glider" in common english. cymothoe poppyana, bayliss i poppyana. and bayliss i poppyana, it's notjust your surname, is it? no, poppy is the name of my daughter. so this one is named after my daughter. it wasn't named by me. it was named by some other butterfly enthusiasts. generally, when new species are found, they're named after the place or often people. so we have quite a few mabuensis, like in a new leaf—nosed bat that we discovered called rhinolophus mabuensis. on this occasion, this new butterfly was named after my daughter, poppy — poppyana. though the forest itself has changed very little over the years, unfortunately, the same can't be said for the animals that live in it. should we put one trap or two traps on this tree? two maybe.
6:49 am
no, please don't feel like tarzan. we need you alive. so there was a whole community of large mammals in the region, in and around mount mabu. probably all the way up until the civil war in the �*705. the lions, rhinos, buffalo, antelope of all kinds, predators. mouse in bag... mouse in bag. is 41. 41 grammes. large mammals were heavily harvested during the war for food, and, as a result, the large mammal populations crashed throughout the country everywhere. there are some mammals that are unique to mount mabu? well, there's one mammal in particular, there's a species of horseshoe bat, that goes by the scientific name of rhinolophus mabuensis. we've discovered also a new species of shrew from mount mabu that we recorded
6:50 am
a couple of years ago. we're still busy analysing it, and we will eventually describe it, it will be a new species of mammal. so, from a biodiversity point of view, mount mabu is very important, because we just don't get those species anywhere else in the world. laughter vowe— frightened her, julian. i'm not surprised. as we walk through mabu, we see evidence of how the local villagers still use the forest. we just come across what's known as a gin trap. this is used by local hunters, and the idea behind it is that these extremely sharp teeth snap onto the legs of an animal when it walks through the trap.
6:51 am
the basic idea is that this catches the animal, holds it in place, keeps it alive — in excruciating pain — until the hunters come round, maybe several days later, to collect it. we go with professor bayliss to retrieve a camera trap he left strapped to a tree on his last trip to mabu. duiker, that'll be another duiker. day time. aha — there they are! there they are. now, i've got sound on this as well! these are the hunters and they've seen the camera trap. they'll try and open it next. i knew i'd catch the huggers. are there lots of hunters here? not in the middle of this forest, no, it's... ..they don't need to come so deep, because they can get all of the animals they need in the forest edge, so this centre area here is not that well hunted.
6:52 am
it's rare. why spend the effort and coming deep into the forest when you can get all your food on the edge? though frowned on by some, hunting is clearly still an important source of food for communities that live near the forest.
6:53 am
we head out in the morning with an expert in setting traps of a rather different sort. this is fresh, right? very fresh. 0h! oh, my. that's good. doctor gimo daniel is a dung beetle researcher... you guys, are you sure you don't want to...? ..and to find new species of them, you need bait... hold on, hold on, i want to put on my gloves. ..and a stern constitution. first of all, we need to dig a hole, right? so we can bury a yoghurt container, right? after that, we put soil to soil level. and then we need to be as neat as possible, because dung beetles are full of nonsense. they want a neat pit for the trap! they're fussy? they're fussy.
6:54 am
laughter after that, we use this plastic cup. we call it magic container. and this is magic spoon that we use the spoon to scoop. so you have to be careful with me if you come and, "hey, can i borrow your spoon?" i'm not borrowing your spoon! there's no way i'm borrowing your spoon, gimo! working as a dung beetle researcher, you have to be very productive in terms of dung. so, you will be useless in case you go to the field, you won't be able to produce your own dung. it's like going to work to your office without your tools for work. so it's pointless. so that's why i produce my own dung to do research here. so, yourfaeces are being used to bait the traps? basically, yeah, i'm using my faeces as a bait to attract dung beetles here in the forest. and is it fresh? it's a fresh one, fresh one, yeah, that's correct. all right. today we're going to setting up about 25 traps. it's a lot of traps and it needs a lot of dung. well, it's a good job we had curry
6:55 am
last night in the camp — you must have a lot! that's correct! that's correct. they can smell up to 30 to 50 metres. so they come as fast as they can. otherwise if they're late, they won't get the fresh one. and then there's a lot of competition in forests or nature. so all over this part of the forest, there are probably dung beetles smelling your poo, thinking... that's correct! ..it�*s lunchtime! that's correct! no, i think this time around, maybe, is brunch. as it turns out, gimo's bait is particularly good at attracting beetles. he tells me he's already found 15 new species here, and has two more possibles lined up from this trip. mabu forest is quite special for dung beetles. i remember this is my second time to come to mabu, right in 2022, i did, i led the first expedition to explore dung beetles in mabu forest.
6:56 am
then i collected ten species, half of them were new to science. wow! yeah, that's fantastic. back in camp, well, there's some friendly rivalry in the quest for new discoveries. he's very good at discovering new species of beetles. but, to be fair, there are so many beetles to be discovered, right, gimo? it doesn't take much to discover a new species! no, not really, not really. later that evening, after a night spent out on a high ridge, the bird experts were back. and they brought with them some good news about the extremely rare namuli apalis. we literallyjust drove i back two minutes ago, found the apalis, we found a fantastic new site. - the territory where the apalis is in is a beautiful site, - it's a magnificent hilltop that - like overlooks like half of central mozambique. so it must be a real relief to know the bird is still here? it is, hugely, hugely. so we managed to get a sound recording of it as well, -
6:57 am
but we never managed to get a photo, but got the sounds. _ that's good enough, you know that it's still here? good enough, so it's confirmed. 0k. it's exciting. we wish we'd found more, actually, it's a little bit- concerning to be honest. so we're going to have to look i towards other conservation areas as well to protect this bird. but, yeah, it's great i to know it's still here. with the trip nearing its end, thoughts began turning to how long mabu forest would remain this way. these forests in mozambique desperately need protection — some form of management, at least. professor bayliss certainly feels that his two decades of expeditions and all the new species have brought progress. he's put forward a proposal that would turn the forest into a protected community conservation area. so what this legislation does is it protects mabu forest from outside influences such as logging, such as mining, such as things like that.
6:58 am
so it's very important at that level. this is going to be a community conservation area, so they have the management mandate, they have the access, and just get the balance right. most of the forests are now small fragments of what they once were. many of the animals have gone extinct in those forest patches, but mount mabu represents one of the last chances to really conserve a sizeable enough patch of this forest. it's very difficult to find - a balance where we protect the forests for the long | term good of humanity, but also to ensure that in the short term, communities don't suffer- from the resources being taken away from them. i to come to mabu is not an easy process. so access to mabu is very difficult, but hopefully if this forest is protected and it turns into a community park or reserve, hopefully there's a lot of tourism. with tourism, we can improve our roads and eventually we'll have a lot of scientists coming here and explore more about mabu forest.
6:59 am
the mozambique authorities confirmed to the bbc that formal proposals to protect mabu and have the local community manage it are now, thanks to the scientists, about to be introduced. this is a rare good news story for conservation. this is a conservation success story, yes. it's nice to have one? yes, it is. all right?
7:00 am
yeah. success! we did it! we made it to the other side. laughter good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: businesses and services around the world begin to recover after a mass it outage, but the boss of the firm responsible says it could take some time to get all systems up and running. "audacious criminality" — the home secretary condemns violent disorder in the harehills area of leeds. a senior democrat claims
7:01 am
president biden didn't recognise him at a recent meeting, despite their long friendship — adding to concerns about his fitness to stand for re—election. the proportion of private renters living with children in damp homes almost doubles since the pandemic. in sport, shane lowry�*s sights are set on a second claretjug. the irishman holds a two—shot lead at the midway point of the open at royal troon, with two englishmen his nearest rivals. good morning, friday's heat and humidity will be replaced as we go through the weekend, with cooler, fresher conditions and even some rain at times. but don't despair, if you've got plans they will be some dry weather in the forecast and if you want all the details, you'll have to keep watching. it's saturday 20 july. plane, train, bank and health services are still dealing
7:02 am
with the aftermath of yesterday's global it outage. a faulty software update caused cancellations and disruption around the world. airlines, gp surgeries and pharmacies were some of the worst affected, and are now facing huge backlogs as a result. our correspondent vincent mcaviney has this report. a day of worldwide it chaos, thanks to an update meant to protect systems, but which instead paralysed them with this blue screen. train services and airports were badly affected with thousands of flights grounded all over the globe, from the uk to asia and the us. this flight radar data shows us skies emptying out as the outage took hold. delays and cancellations are expected to persist for several days. here, medicine deliveries to pharmacies were disrupted and gps in england had problems accessing patient records.
7:03 am
ambulance services across the country have reported a surge in demand as a result. if you have an urgent problem, you should contact your own gp surgery, either in person or by telephone. and if that's not possible and you're worried, then you are to go online and have a look at messaging from 111 or call 111. it even affected software used by broadcasters, knocking some tv channels off air. cafes, restaurants and shops were also left unable to process payments. we had a lot of problems with the card machine. the cards are not coming through. it's just there's no signals. at crowdstrike, we monitor trillions of cyber events... the cause? a single update from this us antivirus company. you may not have heard of crowdstrike before, but it has nearly 24,000 business customers around the world, many of them huge organisations like airlines and banks. we stop a lot of bad things from happening.
7:04 am
we're deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers, to travellers, to anyone affected by this, including our companies. so, we know what the issue is. we're resolving and have resolved the issue. now, it's recovering systems that are out there. to be clear, this wasn't a hack or cyberattack, so you don't need to change any passwords. it only affected machines running microsoft. but every single one will need a manual reboot in safe mode, which is not as simple as turning it off and on again. microsoft says some people have to do this as many as 15 times. we've been long encouraged to keep our devices' software up to date, but there are now questions as to how one faulty update could have brought so much chaos. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. our us correspondent emma vardy sent this report from outside crowdstrike's headquarters. there hasn't been a lot
7:05 am
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.
7:06 am
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. let's hear from our sydney correspondent katy watson about how this it outage has been affecting people in australia. some of the first indications of the problem started, didn't they, and australia. tell us how it has been affected. . �* , ., ., affected. that's right, the outage started on friday _ affected. that's right, the outage started on friday afternoon, - started on friday afternoon, everybody heading home for the weekend, it could not have come at a worse time. the airports, people heading for the weekend, it's also the end of school holidays, there were delays and cancellations, it was in short a lot of chaos at a lot of the airports. also supermarkets
7:07 am
that closed down, people abandoning their weekend shopping because there was no way of paying. sydney airport has said things are back to normal, there will be knock—on effects, at there will be knock—on effects, at the supermarket this morning there were some blue screens of death still there that people were operating and being able to do their shopping. so things have come back to normal after what was quite a chaotic friday afternoon. let's hear now from our technology editor zoe kleinman. we have learned a lot, haven't we, about how these systems work and how they affect us. idate about how these systems work and how they affect us-— they affect us. we have learnt a lot, i they affect us. we have learnt a lot. i think _ they affect us. we have learnt a lot, i think there _ they affect us. we have learnt a lot, i think there are _ they affect us. we have learnt a lot, i think there are now- they affect us. we have learnt a lot, i think there are now some | lot, i think there are now some questions that lots of people are asking about the fragility of our digital lives. we are encouraged to use digital ways of paying, we are encouraged to go online to buy things and make appointments, to run our lives. and yet what we see in situations like this, is that when there is one problem and a huge amount of the world is dependent on
7:08 am
one company, in this case microsoft powered devices which are used by millions everywhere, then we find that everything goes down. and we are very reliant on something the last thing people needed. you have zero control over it and if there is a problem at the end of that company, or you can really do is sit and wait for them to resolve it and that is a very frustrating experience. it is 7.08. we saw pictures of unrest, i think that is putting it mildly, in the leeds area, now there is criticism of what has happened. there have been a number of developments. five people have been taken
7:09 am
into custody after the violent disorder broke which broke out in leeds, with police warning further arrests will be made as part of what it called its "relentless" investigation. west yorkshire police said trouble flared in the harehills area of the city, after officers responded to a child protection issue. our reporterjim connolly has more. violence and chaos, leaving residents scared, businesses forced to close and a whole lot of mess to clear up. we saw the police make several arrests, and they've promised more to come. it may have calmed down but its left residents having to come to terms with what they witnessed outside their own homes. yeah, i was frightened and scared. scared to come down here, really, because you don't know what they're carrying or — or anything. we had police vans upside — up road, further up, turned upside down, police cars and police vans. ijust think it's — they've no respect. 24 hours ago, there was a burnt—out double—decker bus right here. things have calmed down a lot since then and the police and the local residents
7:10 am
in the area will be hoping that continues for the rest of the weekend. thursday night's violence happened after the police and social services removed children from a family. the romanian and roma community became angry with the authorities. last night, they gathered peacefully in solidarity with the family after this call for calm. continue to have faith and to stand together and to avoid any disruption and tension, and not to do any damages because there's already a big damage and we don't want to continue to bring more suffering. we want to show the family that we are next to them and they need us to be in peace with them. senior police met the government to discuss community tension and the impact social media had on events. many people will have seen on their social media some of the really shocking scenes of audacious criminality, and that's why it's really important that those individuals face the full force of the law. footage of the chaos will continue to be shared on social media — a reminder of what happened here. residents and the police willjust hope it doesn't
7:11 am
spark more trouble. jim connolly, bbc news, leeds. our reporter, jessica lane is at the scene for us this morning. we saw some of those really quite shocking images, tell us about the situation today. it was really shocking, and as you can see here this morning, much quieter, much calmer. and in the last half—an—hour it has got a lot cleaner as well. we had teams of people from the city council come down, street sweeper�*s and litter pickers, they have been up cleared out all the rubbish that was left there, and that is because last night around 100 members of the roma community gathered in this area. they were praying and singing and coming together because we believe the family at the centre of the incident on thursday which sparked all the disorder did come from the roma community. you might be able to see behind me there is still quite a
7:12 am
large police presence in this area, there are vans full of offices. however the police inside had told us it was very calm, very quiet overnight and this morning and they, as well as the people who live and work here, hope it does stay that way. however police say they do expect to make more arrests because of the disorder over the coming days. joe biden said he's looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week after isolating with covid. overnight, a senior democratic congressman, who described mr biden here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. the calls forjoe biden to get out of the presidential race are not letting up. in all, more than 30 democratic members of congress, including four senators, have said they don't think he can
7:13 am
beat donald trump. seth moulton, a congressman from massachusetts, was one of the first to speak out after the president's disastrous debate performance. now he is elaborating on why he thinks his long—time mentor and friend should step down. joe biden, he says, used to greet him with a big wide grin and say how glad he was to see the congressman. but last month at a small gathering in france, he said the president didn't seem to recognise him. he says the incident led him to the crushing realisation thatjoe biden would be unable to defeat donald trump in november. the president, who is currently recovering from covid, still rejects that conclusion. he insists he will be back on the campaign trail next week. peter bowes, bbc news. donald trump says he has spoken on the phone to ukraine's president zelensky, and has proposed both sides could come together to negotiate a peace deal if he wins the white house. mr zelensky said he'd agreed to meet mr trump, and discuss what steps were necessary to make peace in ukraine fair and truly lasting.

7:15 am
mobile phone fraud, when criminals use a stolen handset to steal even more money, can be even worse. this victim, who wanted to remain anonymous, had his drink spiked on a night out with colleagues. his phone taken, and more than £20,000 stolen using a mix of a credit card payment and three bank transfers. these criminals had my phone, they were able to access my financial apps and these transactions resulted in significant money being withdrawn from my business and personal accounts, which has had a serious impact on my ability to run my company, and it has also had a serious impact on my mental health and that of my family. last year more than 20,000 victims had £45 million stolen this way, both big increases on the year before. commander richard smith, who works for london's metropolitan police, but has national responsibility for robbery,
7:16 am
told radio 4 money box offices were in the foothills of tackling this emerging crime. it's notjust the handset being taken, it is the access to a great deal more value in banking applications, through taking out loans, through the theft of crypto assets. but it's also the access to all the personal data on the phone. we have our whole lives there. so we are completely alive to that, that is why we are taking this so seriously, that's why we are rolling out this methodology, but through london and nationally. commander smith says the methodology has helped pinpoint those who need to be most aware of this crime, men in their 20s and 30s on nights out in places like bars, pubs, and clubs, and helped offices learn how to follow the digital footprint of criminals, things like e—mail addresses, social media posts and online registration details, to pursue suspects. more generally, the advice is the people to use face or finger

7:19 am
of the day. but for most of us it was not to cloud over a little. let's put some detail on it. the rain of the north—west of scotland and into northern ireland. heavier bursts are putting into south—west england gradually and wales, where an inch could go through the day today. cloudy conditions ahead, with the risk of humidity and a few sharp showers. temperature is around 90 degrees in plymouth, 25 in london. but with this and joanna grisez east anglia, we could see 27 degrees. some of the showers could be heavy or thundery. some of the showers could be heavy orthundery. rain some of the showers could be heavy or thundery. rain continues across west facing coasts, but a better pigeon in northern ireland by the end of the day. a west east divide in scotland. parts of aberdeenshire will have sunshine and highs of 20 degrees. overnight the rain will push north and east, clearing from scotland. cloudy with a few scattered showers elsewhere. it will stay pretty humid across england and wales with overnight lows generally

bbc analysis suggests. the figure has risen from one—in—14 households with damp problems before covid hit, to one—in—seven from 2022 to 2023, according to the english housing survey. it's thought 1.5 million children in england were living in homes that failed decency standards. let's get more on this now. we're nowjoined by the housing campaigner kwajo tweneboa. good morning to you. you know this. you know what it is like to live in a property which is basically unfit for living in, because you have done it. i for living in, because you have done it. ., for living in, because you have done it. . , . ., it. i have experience living in a house with _ it. i have experience living in a house with damp _ it. i have experience living in a house with damp and - it. i have experience living in a house with damp and mould i it. i have experience living in a i house with damp and mould and it. i have experience living in a - house with damp and mould and in disrepair. i spoken to so many across the country you have lived and are living in those conditions, too. , , ., , and are living in those conditions, too. , , . , ., and are living in those conditions, too. , , ., , ., ., too. give us an insight into how this affected — too. give us an insight into how this affected you. _ too. give us an insight into how this affected you. so _ too. give us an insight into howl this affected you. so personally. and your family. this affected you. so personally. and yourfamily. we had to put our lives on hold and living in those sorts of conditions, my dad was very unwell in those conditions. idrui’ere sorts of conditions, my dad was very unwell in those conditions. were you in a flat or a —

7:24 am
have existed in homes for generations and often the residents have been blamed for it. but people understand how serious living in a home with damp and mould can be. that is a positive, in a way, the people are coming forward when they had previously suffered in silence. the questionmark is what are your legal rights? if you are in a property which is below standards, dam, for example, the kind of conditions you described before, what legal rights you have? you can turn to your — what legal rights you have? you can turn to your local— what legal rights you have? you can turn to your local authority - what legal rights you have? you can turn to your local authority and i what legal rights you have? you can turn to your local authority and in i turn to your local authority and in regards to the social housing sector we have an ombudsman that they are hoping to extend into the private rental sector which should be able to help. and you can also go down the legal route. many people struggle getting legal aid. that is a massive issue at the moment, too. but ultimately takes enforcement of legislation. it will take new legislation, and the law needs to be enforced to help. we're talking large numbers of people up and down

conservationists say we are facing a nature biodiversity crisis. but by using the herbivores to reinvigorate and create dynamic ecosystems, the project is becoming a part of the solution. claudia sermbezis, bbc news. thousands of flights were cancelled, banking and healthcare organisations and some tv channels were taken off air. so where did it all start? well, problems were first reported at shops and banks in australia. then in the united states, several airlines grounded flights as the impact of the technical failure made itself felt. soon there were delays and big queues at airports in the uk
7:31 am
and elsewhere across the world — here are just some of the places affected. the american cyber—security firm crowdstrike has admitted a defect in a software update it issued, which crashed windows devices. it will be operational because we have fixed it on our end. some systems that are recovering are working with them. so it could be sometime before some thatjust automatically white recover, but it is our mission, it is why we're here, to make sure every customer is recovered and we won't relent until we get every customer back to where they were and we continue to protect them and keep the bad guys out of their system. let's get more on this now
7:32 am

and the world, large parts of infrastructure, can grind to a halt. what is the thought process around what we have learned from this? lt what we have learned from this? it starts with the nature of cyber security, it is a competitive environment. we are always trying to protect our devices against threats, threats are changing, we have to update our devices constantly. update changes —— creates a risk, when you do update things can go wrong. there is lots of pressure on the companies doing the updates. are they testing these things enough, can we be sure that when this update comes out it will work. but then also inside companies, we're about thousands of companies who trust crowdstrike for example, they are looking at this provider and saying can we trust what comes from them, do we have to test it ourselves before we then roll it out to our devices? there will be bits of government, bits of critical infrastructure and companies like banks and travel companies who are saying actually we need to add an

extra step in this process to ensure that when an update comes from a third party, we have to test it ourselves before we roll it out. i think it is complicated, i think it is expensive but it is plausible. it is expensive but it is plausible. it is all about analysing the risk and putting in place the right processes to manage the amount of risk you are facing. to manage the amount of risk you are facina. , , , ., facing. very interesting. did all our facing. very interesting. did all your devices— facing. very interesting. did all your devices work? _ facing. very interesting. did all your devices work? thankfully l facing. very interesting. did all i your devices work? thankfully yes, i wasn't touched _ your devices work? thankfully yes, i wasn't touched by _ your devices work? thankfully yes, i wasn't touched by any _ your devices work? thankfully yes, i wasn't touched by any of _ your devices work? thankfully yes, i wasn't touched by any of this. i your devices work? thankfully yes, i wasn't touched by any of this. a - your devices work? thankfully yes, i wasn't touched by any of this. a lot| wasn't touched by any of this. a lot of --eole wasn't touched by any of this. a lot of peeple have _ wasn't touched by any of this. a lot of people have said _ wasn't touched by any of this. a lot of people have said everything seemed to work 0k, notwithstanding the fact that they were plenty of places that didn't. it the fact that they were plenty of places that didn't.— places that didn't. it was the critical intersection - places that didn't. it was the critical intersection of - places that didn't. it was the critical intersection of were l places that didn't. it was the i critical intersection of were you using a windows device, and where using a windows device, and where using crowdstrike for your internet security. if you are using both of those things and you accepted the update automatically at the first time it went out, that was the problem, that was the critical intersection of those things, the people who had issues. we have learned a few— people who had issues. we have learned a few things _ people who had issues. we have learned a few things over- people who had issues. we have learned a few things over the - people who had issues. we have | learned a few things over the last 24 learned a few things over the last 2a hours, haven't we? thank you very

much. it is 23 minutes to eight. the thing it is 23 minutes to eight. the thing i love about the open is there are stories and they are surprising stories, there aren't new bees there and established, very established players who have surprised in terms of performance. —— there are newbies. while a lot of the country was 30 degrees yesterday, royal troon was more about the 30 mile an hour winds, but a former champion and two englishmen survived a blustery day on the ayrshire coast to go into the weekend of the open in real contention. shane lowry leads the way on seven under par, as olly foster reports. the troon trio with big dreams this weekend, lowry the leader. rose blooming at the right time. and the debutante, dan brown still in town.
7:38 am
shane lowry made the early move, cutting through the wind blowing many off course. he had a few scares but his supporters sensed a repeat of his open when five years ago. in the wind, he won a few years ago in the same kind of conditions. i think he has a great chance. he is doing so well. i hope he can keep it going. he isn't far from home. it is like the tiger days of old. it's all shane, shane, shane. he went seven under and is beginning to get that 2019 feeling again. the support is incredible. cheered on at every tee and green and fairway. it feels a bit like that. but i try not to think of it too much. justin rose came through qualifying to play in his 21st open championship. he is two shots behind after one of the best rounds of the day. alongside him, dan brown — just making the cut was his priority two days ago.
7:39 am
he will have big ambitions. with bad weather forecast it is said to be another really challenging a few days for the players and troon has already left many reputations in tatters. rory mcilroy missed the cut by a long way, too much time in bunkers. but he gave this parting shot to sign off with a smile. olly foster, bbc news, troon. so rory mcilroy 11 over par, the man he just lost out to at the us open, bryson dechambeau, 9 over, and with the joint sixth worst score overall, tiger woods. all missed the cut, but despite ending on iii over par, the 15 time major champion's desire to compete remains. i desire to compete remains. loved it, i have always playing i loved it, i have always loved playing major championships. ijust playing major championships. i just wish playing major championships. ijust wish i was more physically and... sharp coming in to the majors, it tests you mentally, physically, emotionally and ijust tests you mentally, physically, emotionally and i just wasn't as sharp as i needed to be and i was hoping that i would find it somehow,
7:40 am
ijust never did. and consequently my results and scores were pretty high. the weather was completey different at trent bridge for the second day of england against west indies and it suited the tourists' batters. kavem hodge�*s hundred put them to within 65 runs of england's first innings total, with the bowlers suffering in their first day of action since the retirement ofjames anderson. england worked hard in testing conditions and ben stokes removed the dangerous alick athenaze. but it was another dominican who dominated the day, hodge scoring his first test century, helping west indies to 351—5. elsewhere england's moeen ali scored a rare t20 century as birmingham sealed top spot in their group in the blast. he scored 103 of their 195 runs in their big win over leicestershire. the quarterfinals have now been set, with durham and gloucestershire the last teams to win a spot — and you can see the line—up at the bbc sport website. tadej pogacar says he'll enjoy
7:41 am
today's penultimate stage of the tour de france after extending his overall lead in the race to more than five minutes. the slovenian did so with a blistering finish to stage 19 in the alps, powering up the last 5.5 miles, overtaking three other riders to take his fourth stage victory of what's proved a dominant ride this year. he's now set to claim a third title and become the first man since 1998 to win both the tour and the giro d'italia in the same year. britain's lando norris will be hoping he can claim just his second pole position of the formula i season in hungary later today. the mclaren driver topped the timesheets in the second practice session. he was two tenths of a second quicker than world champion max verstappen. lewis hamilton, who won last time out at silverstone, could only manage seventh. former england rugby league captain sam tomkins has made a surprise decision to come out of retirement and play for catalans dragons this season. that was the 35—year—old's club before he gave up playing last year because of a persistent knee problem. meanwhile warrington
7:42 am
wolves beat st helens in a super league thriller. despite having to play most of the match with 12 men, matty nicholson's try sealed a 24—10 win as warrington stay second. wins too for huddersfield and leigh. while this time he'll be one of those diving into the river seine, which has faced a lot of scrutiny in the build—up to the olympics as organisers have tried to clean the water up in time. but after what happened in tokyo, pardoe is ready to make amends. lam i am hector pardoe, olympic marathon swimmer, and i am 23 years old. open water swimming is a very
7:43 am
psychological support, there are so many different strategies you can do to get in your opponents' minded i think some of them that i do, i think some of them that i do, i think i trying to be the tallest on the podium, it sends a message of power and strength. one thing i do is when i am in the cool room getting the briefing before the race about the course, i have my hat and cockles on and i stared a competition out and the hat and goggles highlights to everybody that i am ready for war, and goggles highlights to everybody that lam ready forwar, and i'm not scared of you, i'm ready. one thing i do in the water when i am in professional marathon swimming races is i use people's slipstreams, the same as in cycling in the peloton, two inch my way up their body and passed them. this can be incredibly draining with somebody�*s body weight sat in your bowel draft, and it is a tactical game that i use so often, and i think open water swimming is about positioning, especially in
7:44 am
professional races when there is a huge field of 80 happen 100 swimmers. that is something i use and it gives me great results. —— bow draft. a metal would be a success, i have unfinished business with the olympics, the first chapter of who is hector pardoe was written in tokyo and the narrative is he is the guy who got elbowed in the eye and did an interview saying he thought he lost his sight. i want to change the narrative and i have been on a journey for the last three years and i have momentum behind me, i think my performance in the world gambian ships this february indo heart did —— gave me confidence that i am in a great place, the sacrifice is paying off and if i can carry that into paris i can achieve great things. ten kilometres up and down the seine, we will be getting very familiar with the bridges in the seine because they will be a constant part of those races.

7:46 am
into the southwest as well. let's look at the story today. a west east divide across the country, with cloud spilling it out of the rain. the best of the sunshine certainly out to the east. but it will feel quite humid here. to the west, heavier bursts, brighter colours denoting heavier rain. we could see as much as an inch of rain across southwest england and wales as we go through the day. so that will impact the temperatures. just 19 degrees in plymouth. 25 in london. if we keep the sunshine in east anglia, we could see highs of 27. we could get a few sharp thundery downpours developing. rain along the west coast brightening up slowly but surely into northern ireland and a west east split in scotland as well. perhaps aberdeenshire bring onto sunshine. temperatures here about 20 degrees. through the night, most rain will drift to the north and east. bits and pieces of shopper showers across england wales. here
7:47 am
we keep a humid, uncomfortable night for sleeping, with overnight lows in the mid to high teens. we will start tomorrow with a legacy of cloud across the midlands and down into east anglia and the southeast, slowly brightening up behind. not bad for most of us on sunday, largely fine and dry. any showers will be isolated. persistent rain don't enlarge into northern ireland, tim rogers 16— 23 degrees. so more comfortable if you don't like the extreme heat. as we move out of sunday and into the early part of next week, we will have one weather front arriving, a brief ridge of high pressure developing behind, and then another weather front. we're back to the set up we have seen so far with no two days of the same. some sharp showers around. some sunshine. not a write off, but back to the pressure feel as well. back to the pressure feel as well. back to ou to the pressure feel as well. back to you tw0- _ to the pressure feel as well. back to you two. thank— to the pressure feel as well. back to you two. thank you _ to the pressure feel as well. e—c< to you two. thank you louise. see you later on. to you two. thank you louise. see you later om— you later on. will be back at 8am with a write _ you later on. will be back at 8am with a write off, _ you later on. will be back at 8am with a write off, but _

7:49 am
more new prime ministers, the war in gaza and, this week, the attempted assassination of former president trump. one of her biggest challenges has been to ensure the impartiality of bbc news output — identified by the director—general, tim davie, as the corporation's number one priority. she gave this definition of impartiality recently to a parliamentary select committee. it's about not taking any sides. it's about reporting withoutjudgment, journalism withoutjudgment. and the bbc is seen to be the most scrupulously aware of anything that might be perceived as some kind of bias or preference to either side of an argument. but not everyone agrees with that. we've heard criticisms during the recent election of bias in all directions. steven pullen wrote to us during the campaign, saying... ..whereas gerald freel thought...
7:50 am
meanwhile, susie hq this week raised the subject of airtime for nigel farage... well, let's speak to deborah turness, the chief executive of bbc news. thanks for coming on newswatch. the director—general has identified impartiality as the bbc�*s number one priority, and you've heard accusations from viewers of bias during the general election campaign. what was your approach to impartiality during the campaign? well, thank you for inviting me on the programme, samira. when i came to the bbc, understanding the director—general�*s real focus on impartiality, we did a really big piece of work asking audiences across the uk and around the world what they needed today to trust us, and they told us they wanted fairness and respect. and fairness and respect really come together to form impartiality — fairness in reflecting the fullness of the political conversation and respect in showing that we are listening to them because they pay for us and the bbc
7:51 am
is here for everyone. eight in ten uk adults came to the bbc during the election period. they said, when asked, "who would you choose for trusted, impartial coverage of this election?", four times more chose the bbc than any of our nearest other competitors. so i would say i really am incredibly proud of our output during the election, and i really feel that we stepped up to deliver on our democratic duty as a platform for freedom of speech and to reflect the fullness of the political conversation that was happening across the uk. lots of the complaints we received during the election — and you heard one earlier — concerned the perception that nigel farage and reform received more coverage than was warranted. did they? we were very, very thoughtful and very careful about this. and first to say, equal numbers of people contacted the bbc to say that there was too much and

too little coverage of nigel farage and the reform party. we make very careful determinations and we look at, you know, a sort of cross—section of data and inputs to make those decisions. for example, ofcom has a framework, the bbc charter has a framework. some of it is about past electoral performance and some of it is about polling. and in the end, we came out to a decision whereby nigel farage was interviewed by nick robinson on panorama in peak time, as were the greens and all the other major parties. and i think that was a really important decision that we took because he was scrutinised, like every other major politician, in peak time. a big reach, important questions were asked. and i think when you look at the reach that reform ended up having, which was 14% share of the vote, ahead of the liberal democrats, i think we got it about right. 0k. the tv audience who were watching the bbc one election night results programme live was down a third, from 6.1 to li.2 million, compared to 2019.
7:53 am
how much does that worry you? i think when you look at the totality of our linear television reach that night and the next day, 25 million people came to bbc news to watch that coverage. but they also went to our audio feed, which was radio 4, radio 5 and sounds. they also went to the newscast all—nighter. of the fragmentation of the audience. as they are on more and more platforms, looking for different ways to consume news — through podcasts, through live pages, through digital content — we are there on all these platforms, and what you're seeing is this fragmentation story. so i'm not worried. and the total reach of our total audiences through the election campaign was 45 million people across all of our platforms. that's enormous. 0k. the news channel. so, a lot of viewers were very glad to see that the bbc provided
7:54 am
a dedicated domestic service during the election campaign — 0k. the news channel. so, a lot of viewers were very glad to see that the bbc provided a dedicated domestic service during the election campaign — as, indeed, there had used to be — and they feel the merged news channel for global and uk viewers doesn't serve licence fee payers well. and i'm going to read you a message from a viewer called josh. he says... what's your answer to josh? well, my answer tojosh, first of all, is thank you for watching, josh, and thank you for caring enough to ask that question. and we were very proud of our dedicated election stream, which did really super—serve our uk audiences with all election, all the time for those weeks. and there was a real appetite for that. and asjosh has pointed out, we do always make sure, with what we call our break—out service, that when there is a moving, developing story in the uk, that we do the break—out and we make sure that our uk audiences are getting the moving, breaking story while the global stream goes off and can serve the global audience. so that is a well—established
7:55 am
principle and working... so you're going back to that? that's what we've been doing since the changes to the channel and that has been successful. but what i would say tojosh is this. the break—out streams that we put onto the channel when there's changing, evolving stories in the uk also go on to iplayer, and we're seeing real success with that and that's a real growth area. we also put them into our live pages and our digital platforms, and that is a growth area and an area of investment for us. so he's going to see more single—story live streams in more places in the future, because we can see that the audiences have an appetite for that. now, the last government's funding reductions for the bbc saw bosses make cuts to the news channel and also to newsnight, local radio and the world service. and this week, your departing director of the world service, liliane landor, said she thought cuts to radio had been made too quickly. have you gone too far, too fast? and will there be more cuts to come?
7:56 am
look, we're living in the real world. we have a diminishing licence fee. we've seen successive periods of licence fee renewal which have been below inflation. that's a real impact. we also have been hit by inflation ourselves as a business, as an organisation, and we're having to find the investment in our digital product, our digital infrastructure and to move with the consumers onto digital platforms. so we have to find the cash and the money to invest, so, of course, we have to make difficult choices and trade—offs. we hope to make them always led by audiences. we ask our audiences where their priorities are, what they most care about. you mentioned newsnight there. we recently made the changes to newsnight, and actually, in the seven weeks that the new newsnight has been on air, it has grown 35%. now, we know younger audiences are deserting news broadcasting in large numbers. that could be an existential challenge for bbc news, couldn't it?
7:57 am
it could be, but it's not, and i'll tell you why. a recent data point — on election night alone, double the percentage of audiences that came to us were 18 to 35. we doubled our percentage of 18 to 35 reach on election night. eight in ten young audience members came to us for election news on that night, and that is a really, really positive sign. what we're trying to do, though, is to say, yes, of course, we want those audiences to come to us on our platform, but there's also the world that we live in, the real world. and so we are also investing to find those audiences on tiktok, on instagram and on those platforms, to tell them about bbc news journalism. and we are targeting ruthlessly under—25s on tiktok. and the aim of that is to bring them back to our platforms, where they can enjoy bbc news content on bbc news platforms. all right. transparency is one of your watchwords. on newswatch, we like to think we embody that. here are a couple of messages
7:58 am
we've had from the viewers. noel waller says... thank you, noel. and he goes on... and jayne taylor writes... so, without being too self—serving, could you commit to senior bbc staff coming on the programme more often to respond to licence fee payers, and perhaps even looking at finding us a longer slot? well, first of all, on transparency, thank you for doing this programme. i truly believe that we must be transparent with our audiences. everybody pays the bbc, the bbc must be for everybody, and they have the right to ask questions and to demand the right answers. i have really enjoyed seeing nick robinson, marianna spring, jonathan munro, my deputy, you know, members of the news team,
7:59 am
richard burgess, also head of content, coming on. and i hope that we'll all continue to come on the show and to answer your questions, because they're very important. in terms of... i won't dodge your final points about the length of your programme. i believe in transparency, but i don't think you would expect me to make a programming scheduling decision with a camera in my face. thank you for coming on. thank you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, email newswatch@bbc.co.uk, or you can find us on x — @newswatchbbc. you can call us on 0370 010 6676, and do have a look at previous interviews on our website, bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us for now. thank you forjoining us.

we are off the air now until the first week of september, but do continue to send us your views and join us again then. goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... businesses and services around the world begin to recover after a mass it outage, but the boss of the firm responsible says it could take �*some time' to get all systems up and running. "audacious criminality" — the home secretary condemns violent disorder in the harehills area of leeds. a senior democrat claims president biden didn't recognize him at a recent meeting, despite their long friendship — adding to concerns about his fitness

8:02 am
a faulty software update caused cancellations and disruption around the world. airlines, gp surgeries and pharmacies were some of the worst affected, and are now facing huge backlogs as a result. our correspondent vincent mcaviney has this report. a day of worldwide it chaos, thanks to an update meant to protect systems but which instead paralysed them with this blue screen. train services and airports were badly affected with thousands of flights grounded all over the globe, from the uk to asia and the us. this flight radar data shows us skies emptying out as the outage took hold. delays and cancellations are expected to persist for several days. here, medicine deliveries to pharmacies were disrupted and gps in england had problems accessing patient records. ambulance services across the country have reported a surge in demand as a result.
8:03 am
if you have an urgent problem, you should contact your own gp surgery, either in person or by telephone. and if that's not possible and you're worried, then you are to go online and have a look at messaging from 111 or call 111. it even affected software used by broadcasters, knocking some tv channels off air. cafes, restaurants and shops were also left unable to process payments. we had a lot of problems with the card machine. the cards are not coming through. it's just there's no signals. at crowdstrike, we monitor trillions of cyber events... the cause? a single update from this us antivirus company. you may not have heard of crowdstrike before but it has nearly 2a,000 business customers around the world, many of them huge organisations like airlines and banks. we stop a lot of bad things from happening. we're deeply sorry for the impact that we've
8:04 am
caused to customers, to travellers, to anyone affected by this, including our companies. so, we know what the issue is. we're resolving and have resolved the issue. now, it's recovering systems that are out there. to be clear, this wasn't a hack or cyberattack, so you don't need to change any passwords. it only affected machines running microsoft. but every single one will need a manual reboot in safe mode, which is not as simple as turning it off and on again. microsoft says some people have to do this as many as 15 times. we've been long encouraged to keep our devices' software up to date but there are now questions as to how one faulty update could have brought so much chaos. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. our us correspondent emma vardy sent this report from outside crowdstrikes's headquarters. there hasn't been a lot of visible activity here at the headquarters of crowdstrike, based in austin, texas.
8:05 am
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
8:06 am
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. our business reporter nick marsh sent us this report from singapore. we are talking about an unprecedented situation. it happened here by virtue of the time zone. we started getting reports from australia. we thought it was a localised issue. how wrong we were. it slowly spreads to the airport in singapore, doctors surgeries in the uk. we started getting reports it was causing chaos. a fix has been
8:07 am
found. now that painstaking process of rebooting individual computer terminals has begun. things are so much better now than they were yesterday. we saw the images from leeds and the instruction they are, the violence there that occurred, and has been regarding that. five people have been taken into custody. after violent disorder which broke out in leeds — with police warning further arrests will be made as part of what it called its "relentless" investigation. west yorkshire police said trouble flared in the harehills area of the city, after officers responded to a child protection issue. our reporterjim connolly has more. violence and chaos, leaving residents scared, businesses forced to close and a whole lot of mess to clear up. we saw the police make several arrests, and they've promised
8:08 am
more to come. it may have calmed down but it's left residents having to come to terms with what they witnessed outside their own homes. yeah, i was frightened and scared. scared to come down here, really, because you don't know what they're carrying or — or anything. police cars and police vans turned upside _ police cars and police vans turned upside down. they have no respect. 2a hours ago, there was a burnt—out double—decker bus here. things have calmed down a lot since then and the police and the local residents in the area will be hoping that continues for the rest of the weekend. thursday night's violence happened after the police and social services removed children from a family. the romanian and roma community became angry with the authorities. last night, they gathered peacefully in solidarity with the family after this call for calm. continue to have faith and to stand together and to avoid any disruption and tension and not to do any damages because there's already
8:09 am
a big damage and we don't want to continue to bring more suffering. we want to show the family that we are next to them and they need us to be in peace with them. senior police met the government to discuss community tension and the impact social media had on events. many people will have seen on the social media some of the really shocking scenes of audacious criminality, and that's why it's really important that those individuals face the full force of the law. footage of the chaos will continue to be shared on social media — a reminder of what happened here. residents and the police willjust hope it doesn't spark more trouble. jim connolly, bbc news, leeds. our reporter, jessica lane is at the scene for us this morning. bring us up to date. it isa it is a lot quieter and calmer here this morning. there are still some
8:10 am
bits of evidence from that disorder and violence. you can see here that the tarmac has been totally melted. this is for that double—decker bus was set on fire on thursday night and friday morning. that was like a bit of metal that has melted off the bass. there is bits of broken glass around as well. over here you can see that the grass has been totally scorched. there has been a strong smell of burning in the air as well. some remnants of what has happened, but that is calm so far. we have seen quite a few police vans out this morning. they told me they are here for mere students. so far this morning they haven't had any trouble. but west yorkshire police do say that they do expect to make more arrests over that disorder in the coming days. thank you. joe biden said he's "looking forward to getting back "on the campaign trail next week" after isolating with covid. overnight, a senior democratic congressman, who described mr biden as a mentor and friend,
8:11 am
said the president didn't seem to recognise him at a d—day event last month, prompting yet more calls for him to drop out of the race to be re—elected. here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. the calls forjoe biden to get out of the presidential race are not letting up. in all, more than 30 democratic members of congress, including four senators, have said they don't think he can beat donald trump. seth moulton, a congressman from massachusetts, was one of the first to speak out after the president's disastrous debate performance. now he is elaborating on why he thinks his long—time mentor and friend should step down. joe biden, he says, used to greet him with a big wide grin and say how glad he was to see the congressman. but last month at a small gathering in france, he said the president didn't seem to recognise him. he says the incident led him to the crushing realisation that joe biden would be unable to defeat donald trump in november. the president, who is currently
8:12 am
recovering from covid, still rejects that conclusion. he insists he will be back on the campaign trail next week. peter bowes, bbc news. there are reports of long queues of traffic at dover this morning. the ferry firm dfds is reporting waits of two and a half hours at dover to get through border control and check—in. p&o is also warning of long queues on the roads leading to the port. it's thought the delays are due to the volume of traffic, rather than yesterday's global it issues. a highway bridge has collapsed in northwestern china following torrential rain. the state's media reported at least 11 people died and 30 others are missing following a flash flood which saw some vehicles fall into the river. it comes after heavy downpours earlier this week damaged roads and buildings across the region. labour's welsh executive will meet today to decide the timetable for electing a new party leader. vaughan gething resigned from thejob, and as first minister,

on tuesday, after four members of his cabinet quit. new investigative techniques and intelligence are being used to tackle mobile phone fraud. criminals are increasingly stealing handsets in order to access people's banking and financial data, leaving victims sometimes tens of thousands of pounds out of pocket. dan whitworth from radio 4's money box reports. having your mobile phone stolen, however it happens, can be a traumatic experience. but the impact of mobile phone fraud, when criminals use a stolen handset to steal even more money, can be even worse. this victim, who wanted to remain anonymous, had his drink spiked on a night out with colleagues, his phone taken, and more than £20,000 stolen using a mix of a credit card payment and three bank transfers. these criminals had my phone, they were able to access my financial apps and these four transactions resulted in significant
8:14 am
money being withdrawn from my business and personal accounts, which has had a serious impact on my ability to run my company, and it has also had a serious impact on my mental health and that of my family. last year more than 20,000 victims had £a5 million stolen this way, both big increases on the year before. commander richard smith, who works for london's metropolitan police, but has national responsibility for robbery, told radio 4 money box offices were in the foothills of tackling this emerging crime. it's notjust the handset being taken, it is the access to a great deal more value in banking applications, through taking out loans, through the theft of crypto assets. but it's also the access to all the personal data on the phone. we have our whole lives there. so we are completely alive to that, that is why we are taking this so seriously, that's why
8:15 am
we are rolling out this methodology, but through london and nationally. commander smith says the methodology has helped pinpoint those who need to be most aware of this crime, men in their 20s and 30s on nights out in places like bars, pubs, and clubs, and helped officers learn how to follow the digital footprint of criminals, things like email addresses, social media posts and online registration details, to pursue suspects. more generally, the advice is for people to use face or fingerprint id if possible, have different passcodes to unlock phones from ones used to open apps, and never store any notes containing passwords on the mobile itself. dan whitworth, bbc news. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. we would like a bit of consistency.
8:16 am
that is a unifying thought across the country. but we're not going to get it over the few days. the summer still stays with no two days the sea. it was too hot and humid for you yesterday you will be pleased at the weekend forecast, it will turn cooler, there will be some rain at times. best of the sunshine will be out to the east, in particular east anglia. essex also has some lovely spells of sunshine. but also some rain around. a west and east divide is the story today. heaviest of the rain at the moment through north—west scotland and northern ireland, but they could be bursts starting to develop across south—west england and south wales. we could see as much as an inch of rain falling here as we go through the afternoon. clouding over the head of it. if you have got sunshine it may turn quite hazy into the afternoon. but it will still be quite hot and humid across central and eastern areas. that could
8:17 am
trigger off if you shah and cheri downforce. further brighter colours are, that is with the heaviest of the rain is. highest values of 27 celsius. if you sharpen that he downforce breaking out. rain across northern ireland gradually easing away. heavy bursts in western scotland. eastern scotland will keep that drier story. temperature is 20 celsius. this evening and overnight that rain will push steadily north and east. still heavy bursts across eastern scotland. the legacy of cloud crossing that and wales. not that much in the way of rain. still a relatively humid night. tomorrow morning could start off quite agree with scattered showers. that will easily from the south—east. brighter skies behind. for most of us on sunday it will be a dry day with sunny spells. a pleasant and
8:18 am
comfortable feel. in the sunshine it would feel quite warm. 23, 2a celsius. some rain in northern ireland. the next weatherfront moving in, that clears its way through on monday. tuesday sees a ridge of high pressure quieting things down. if we look ahead, it is good to be showers, longer spells of rain, and some sunshine. the husband of a woman who has alzheimer's says he doesn't know how they'll cope if his wife's nhs—funded care package is taken away. dave morton provides constant care for carol while professional carers come to the house for one—and—a—half hours every day to give him respite, but they've now been told the funding for that care is being withdrawn. steve humphrey went to meet them. here we go, darling. oops. made you jump then, didn't i?
8:19 am
we've been together since we was 17, and just to see her like this is just so heartbreaking. carol is 67. she was diagnosed with alzheimer's just before the covid lockdown started in 2020. before getting the illness, she had led a busy life. if you didn't know her before she was diagnosed with alzheimer's, she was always active. she worked full time. i'm happy that she's here, but, um, i'm upset that it's not her. carol now needs constant care. oh 24/7 yeah, in the night, um, during the day, it's constant — cleaning her, washing her, following her. make sure she doesn't... as you can see now, she's walking around. i have to keep looking to see what she's up to. looking after carol is hard work for dave, who has previously had bowel cancer and is on strong medication for a back condition. it's hard. as i said, i'm taking morphine myself. i missed you. did you miss me?
8:20 am
what makes life just about manageable for the couple who live in gosport in hampshire, are twice daily visits by professional carers. hour and a half a day makes such a difference. it's so, so little but it makes a great big difference. it really does to both our lives. i would say that without that care we wouldn't be the same people. we need that care, definitely. i mean, it's only an hour and a half a day. dave says his world turned upside down when he got a letter from hampshire and isle of wight nhs, telling him that funding for carol's home visits by carers is going to be stopped. at the moment, with the care that i'm getting, i'm managing to cope. some days are good, some days are bad. but, um, if it was taken away, i dread to think what would happen. just look at the wider
8:21 am
picture of the effect, an hour and a half a day taking that away will have on two people's lives. dave says the new labour government should urgently review care provision. he argues that home carers reduce the strain on public finances. what you are saving by us keeping our loved ones at home and not putting them in homes for you to pay for, you know we're saving you millions, millions. just have a look at the broader picture and how much more you could save if you invested a little bit more in the home carer. in a statement, a spokesperson for nhs hampshire and the isle of wight said it was unable to comment on individual cases, but added this.
8:22 am
dave and carol are hoping a way can be found for their daily care visits to continue. steve humphrey, bbc news. we're joined now by bill wilson, whose wife jo died of dementia, and by marion child from the alzheimer's society. good morning to you both. we were just watching dave and carol thea that situation. dave busily worried about his career being withdrawn. you just said, that was the moment when it hits so hard.— when it hits so hard. yes. you literally crash _ when it hits so hard. yes. you literally crash back _ when it hits so hard. yes. you literally crash back down - when it hits so hard. yes. you literally crash back down to i when it hits so hard. yes. you - literally crash back down to earth. you have got a few more —— if you moments respite every day. you can do something for yourself. where that stress is almost taken away, but not quite. but then that's a bit of time you have got to yourself is taken away. and you have literally crashed down to earth. what
8:23 am
taken away. and you have literally crashed down to earth. what happened in terms of the — crashed down to earth. what happened in terms of the care _ crashed down to earth. what happened in terms of the care you _ crashed down to earth. what happened in terms of the care you were - in terms of the care you were getting whenjo was unwell? i in terms of the care you were getting when jo was unwell? i used to net getting when jo was unwell? i used to let an getting when jo was unwell? i used to get an hour— getting when jo was unwell? i used to get an hour in _ getting when jo was unwell? i used to get an hour in the _ getting when jo was unwell? i used to get an hour in the morning - getting when jo was unwell? i used to get an hour in the morning and l getting when jo was unwell? i used l to get an hour in the morning and an hourin to get an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. i would use that time to go out for a walk, just for my time. but then it got to the point where some of the carers would only stay for seven minutes, and they would leave. because they would see. that is to diminish anyway. then it just disappeared entirely. literally, it was a telephone call, to say, we are not coming back tomorrow. it was like, or does that leave me? what am i going to do? how do i manage? people can hear you talking about this. you adored jo. she was the love of my life. we are seeing pictures of you with her. this is what you do.
8:24 am
why are you here talk about how hard it is western back but people perhaps don't understand the personal impact, the quality of life impact. personal impact, the quality of life imact. ~ . . personal impact, the quality of life imact. ~ ., ., , i, personal impact, the quality of life imact. ~ ., ., , ., impact. mental and physical health are totally wrecked. _ impact. mental and physical health are totally wrecked. you _ impact. mental and physical health are totally wrecked. you are - impact. mental and physical health are totally wrecked. you are caring j are totally wrecked. you are caring for somebody 2li—7. i could not go out for a walk. i could not go to the shops. i could not meet a friend, go to the cinema, because i had to be withjo ready for— seven. that is when —— yes, that is what i signed up for when we were married. we adored each other throughout our married lives. but, itjust comes to the point where you can't look after yourself any more. you are so wrapped up in after your loved one that all of your ailments and things just have to disappear. you just have to park them. it doesn't matter how ill i was. it doesn't matter when i had covid and jo did not, i
8:25 am
still had to look after her. i still had to drag myself out of bed and make food and make sure medications were administered. it is when you sign up for. but you do not sign up for the mental and physical strength i need to stop itjust wrecks you, takes you away totally. i had nothing left. marion, anyone listening to the story, this is a story you will know well. this is a story you will have heard many times before. on the one hand, everyone thinks this is so unfair, this situation, and then you hear that response from local authorities, which is, they have a finite amount of money. where is the place between those two things?
8:26 am
it is a difficult place. sadly, we do hear that same story over and over. some of the people that bring the alzheimer's society support line, and the people that log onto the online forum, they are all seeing the same story. killer support is not there. services are not there. carers are feeling isolated. —— carer support. dementia is almost ahead in crisis. i realise decision—makers have difficult decisions. but by not buy ties in dementia services it is a false economy. you are going to get services pressure down the line. we are carers are overwhelmed they are going to turn to their gp, nhs, e and day. by not investing in
8:27 am
services sooner, you are storing up a problem forfurther services sooner, you are storing up a problem for further down the line. these services are so important to enable that i these services are so important to enable thati million people living with dementia, and the 700,000 unpaid carers who are 24—7 looking after their loved ones, because they would go to the ends of the earth for them, would go to the ends of the earth forthem, but would go to the ends of the earth for them, but they also need the support to be able to do that. the case is making us and we have heard before. in the round, this is not a saving to not spend the money. we have a new government right now. would you be hoping, these are local authority decisions, but would you be hoping that could be some scrutiny over how this is handled, that they become from above? i ask is to decision—makers to fix the broken social care system, because it is a false economy. one of the things we have been
8:28 am
partnering recently with his skills for care, they have a strategy looking at training for carers, therapy carers, get more professional carers into the system so that services can be provided. that local authorities did that money to come from somewhere. yes, there needs to be a full—scale review of the social care system and how we can better support it. to what extent has the care that you give your wife right till the end, as you have explained clearly, because you loved her, and that was what was required that it can change the way you think back to your relationship in a way, because your memories become partly mixed up with the trauma of trying to get care, and the battles you had to have? the memories are tinged, sadly. it doesn't take away that emotional feeling, but it does take away that
8:29 am
feeling, but it does take away that feeling of, why do i have to fight every single day to achieve very little? i could have spent that time with jo, little? i could have spent that time withjo, rather than having to fight. it annoys me that boris johnson a couple of years ago was going to fix it with his increasing taxation. all that has disappeared. i want to know me that money is good to come from now. it is interesting that you talk about the increase in taxation. there was also, i think it was cold the dementia tax when theresa me was prime minister. and there was what was considered a backlash. as a carer, how do you think carers are viewed by the general public? does it get to the point where, until it hits me, i don't realise?- it get to the point where, until it hits me, i don't realise? yes, that is riuht. hits me, i don't realise? yes, that is right- that _ hits me, i don't realise? yes, that is right. that is _ hits me, i don't realise? yes, that is right. that is how _ hits me, i don't realise? yes, that is right. that is how i _ hits me, i don't realise? yes, that is right. that is how i was. - hits me, i don't realise? yes, that is right. that is how i was. you - is right. that is how i was. you don't think— is right. that is how i was. you don't think about _ is right. that is how i was. you don't think about it _ is right. that is how i was. you don't think about it until - is right. that is how i was. you don't think about it until it - don't think about it until it affects you personally. even then it takes for that to sink in, what that
8:30 am
means. i can appreciate that people do not want to pay more, but almost everyone now is affected by dementia in some way. we all have people in ourfamily orfriends in some way. we all have people in our family or friends group who are suffering with dementia. there are younger people, maybe working age people, and you think you are invincible? you think it is never going to happen to you and you think, for better or worse, so i just wonder, what needs to change? in terms of attitude or awareness because people don't mind carrying. people don't know and when you're young, you are invincible and it is not going to happen to me, but it is happening to someone in your family, to your gran or grandad and dementia is getting younger and younger now.

8:34 am
104 is certainly an age worth celebrating in style. and for christian lamb, the most recent of those years has been pretty busy. the highlight came during the 80th anniversary commemorations of d—day last month, when she was flown across the channel to receive the legion d'honneur, france's highest honour presented by president macron. i wasn't in the least bit expecting it. somehow i hadn't sort of thought about monsieur macron, but, um, when he came up and started making speeches all about me, i became really rather embarrassed. but eventually he turned round. and then he produced a beautiful little medal and kissed me twice, which was amazing to me. i hadn't expected it, so i was quite surprised.
8:35 am
the presentation came as part of the ceremony at the british normandy memorial in bessemer, codenamed gold beach, in 1944, a site she found profoundly moving. so beautifully done, so detailed, such wonderful sort of, um, all the pillars with names and thousands of them, literally. and there was the most amazing thing i've ever seen. during the war, as an officer in the royal navy, she worked in whitehall creating maps of the normandy coastline for d—day landing craft. we travelled with her to northern france as she saw the beaches she had plotted painstakingly, but until now, never seen. it looks absolutely wonderful, so clear and so blue and it's so attractive. i don't suppose it looked like that then, really. one was very worried about it and expecting ghastly things to happen.
8:36 am
these were i'm supposed to have made. these are the maps you made. amazing. and we were able to show her an original invasion map again, something she saw for the first time. well, her birthday last year, christian recreated a flight she'd first taken during the second world war. having missed the last train to her new posting in plymouth, she met a pilot at a cocktail party, and never being one to miss an opportunity, she accepted his offer of a lift in his aircraft. and as they flew back from bath to plymouth, he dived over all sorts of cows and things to make it more exciting for me. i loved that, i think he was hoping i'd be frightened by it, but i'm absolutely my sort of thing. very. and i was hoping we might loop the loop, but unfortunately, perhaps fortunately or i might have fallen out. her family continued to be amazed
8:37 am
and inspired by a life that belies and defies her age. unbelievable. it really keeps her going. that's what's so extraordinary, is that she gets so much pleasure and seems to somehow get her brain ticking. you know, she reminds me about things i don't remind her. i mean, she was a normal. a normal grandmotherl until she was about 90. then she started writing books. then she's become almost sort of a celebrity in her hundreds, i and it's impossible to keep up. and we can't get hold . of her because you guys are always interviewing her. um, no. she's fantastic. we're obviously very proud of her. and what is what is the secret to 104? well, ithink, um, um, a certain amount of alcohol is important. and also, i think always doing what you enjoy. i think a lot of people do jobs, they're well paid. that's no good. you've got to do something you really enjoy. then you'll live forever. you'll live forever? yes, yes. well, you're having a good go at that.
8:38 am
absolutely. yeah. the extraordinary life of a humble yet extraordinary woman. john mcguire, bbc news, london. we have all taken notes about how to live a good, long live. little bit of alcohol and doing a job alike. get some of those rights, may be! let's get back to our top story now because flight delays and cancellations are expected to continue this weekend, after that huge it outage caused global chaos. we're joined by the independent�*s travel correspondent simon calder. a lot of information to get through but help us with this one, we are seeing the wires and in the last few minutes, a gatwick spokesperson has said the airport is operating as
8:39 am
normal today, some delays and cancellations likely throughout the day, airlines continue to recover. on the one hand they are saying all back to normal but what is actually going on? take us through some of the airports. going on? take us through some of the airports-— the airports. yesterday we had 350 cancellations _ the airports. yesterday we had 350 cancellations within _ the airports. yesterday we had 350 cancellations within the _ the airports. yesterday we had 350 cancellations within the uk, - the airports. yesterday we had 350. cancellations within the uk, 50,000 people out of position. today we are not in the 100s, we are in the dozens. i am counting 45 cancellations so far, of which the largest number or british airways to and from london heathrow. they cancelled a number of flights yesterday evening to various parts of europe which are not coming back today because they were never there in the first place, they have cancelled things like mumbai, houston, washington, dc, brussels and rome. you look at most of the other airports and they are fine, just the odd cancellation, so easyjet at gatwick, geneva and palme, a couple of flights
8:40 am
cancelled. very annoying for the 350 people on those flights but nothing compared with yesterday edinburgh have a whole range, the first klm flight to amsterdam did not go. unfortunate for people with connections, and also cancellations to other places. wherever you are, do check in advance and be prepared for delays. some are terrible ones out there, belfast that, you might be watching, you have eight hours before your flight goes. at newcastle, the klm flight to amsterdam is running three hours late which means many people will miss their connections. a lot better thanit miss their connections. a lot better than it was a 24—hour cycle. we than it was a 24-hour cycle. we asked our— than it was a 24—hour cycle. we asked our audience to get in touch, if they have any questions. consumer riahts if they have any questions. consumer rights comes — if they have any questions. consumer rights comes into _ if they have any questions. consumer rights comes into this? _ if they have any questions. consumer rights comes into this? it _ if they have any questions. consumer rights comes into this? it does - if they have any questions. consumer rights comes into this? it does and i rights comes into this? it does and we have had some interesting
8:41 am
questions. sam is stranded in roads, thatis questions. sam is stranded in roads, that is very unfortunate because a beautiful greek island, absolutely full at this time of year, and so they didn't get any accommodation by they didn't get any accommodation by the airline, which the airline is supposed to do and he says this morning at 6am, 4am a british time, people stuck at the airport were given food vouchers. some people said they managed to get hotel and they said they would not get it back because they accepted food vouchers. they have to provide you with the hotel and it has to reimburse you if it doesn't end asleep on the of the airport. but meals are on top of that so anything that you are told locally, perhaps take with a pinch of salt. michelle is in paris with her husband, they were booked to fly to gatwick. that flight was
8:42 am
cancelled. they were given, her flight was monday, her husband's tomorrow. they decided they don't want to do that, they want a refund but now they are going through an online travel agent and finding it ready difficult to get a refund and that unfortunately is something we saw in the covid—i9 pandemic. you go through an online travel agent and things could get tricky but of course, you are ultimately due a refund if your flight was cancelled and you decide not to travel. ls and you decide not to travel. is there a difference between atoll protection that you're supposed to haveif protection that you're supposed to have if you book through an official company? have if you book through an official com an ? ., , , have if you book through an official coman ? ., , , ., company? no, everything is governed b the company? no, everything is governed by the european _ company? no, everything is governed by the european air— company? no, everything is governed by the european air passenger - company? no, everything is governed by the european air passenger rights | by the european air passenger rights which the you have to get a new flight, you have to have hotels and meals. the only difference is, if you book a proper package holiday, flights and accommodation, then for example, people who missed a day of

8:44 am
stick to the main roads, the a2 and a 20 going into dover because otherwise you will gridlock the whole town, and if you miss your appointed ferry, don't worry, we will put you on the one. this was always going to be a possible problem and it will carry on like that, ifear, for today and hopefully tomorrow things will get easier. . ~' , ., hopefully tomorrow things will get easier. ., ~ , ., hopefully tomorrow things will get easier. ., , ., easier. thank you. good use of tosh, b the easier. thank you. good use of tosh, by the way- — easier. thank you. good use of tosh, by the way- people — easier. thank you. good use of tosh, by the way. people will— easier. thank you. good use of tosh, by the way. people will look - easier. thank you. good use of tosh, by the way. people will look at - by the way. people will look at their rights. simon calder says it is taught! not a legal term! royal troon continued to show its teeth on day two of the open but a former champion survived the windy conditions to go into the weekend at the top of the leaderboard.
8:45 am
let's head to the ayrshire coast now and speak to ben croucher. ben, shane lowry has the advantage and the experience of winning the claretjug before? absolutely, it was in 2019 at portrush that the world number 33 from ireland lead at the halfway mark. roared on by an army of fans and went on to lift at claretjug. fast forward five years, the world number 33, from ireland, fast forward five years, the world number33, from ireland, shane larry, with leeds again. could history repeat itself? he leads by two shots on the seven under par. two straight rounds under 70. he says that experience from portrush should be beneficial over the weekend. as for the chasers, two englishmen, dan brown and justin rose. he made an incredible birdie on the 18th to move himself into contention. one of these players who
8:46 am
you think probably should have won more majors in his career, just like rory mcilroy. he was never in contention this week, though doesn't play very well in windy conditions and probably they got the best of him this week. fleetwood, michael roy, some of the very best golfers in the world, combined between them, more than 50 over par. one player made for powers, the other five holes, he was 17 over par. golf is hard. t holes, he was 17 over par. golf is hard. ., ., ., hard. i would also say that the weather news _ hard. i would also say that the weather news flash _ hard. i would also say that the weather news flash suggests l hard. i would also say that the i weather news flash suggests the weekend won't be much easier? 1th weather news flash suggests the weekend won't be much easier? as you can ublic weekend won't be much easier? as you can public tell. — weekend won't be much easier? as you can public tell, this _ weekend won't be much easier? as you can public tell, this is _ weekend won't be much easier? as you can public tell, this is a _ weekend won't be much easier? as you can public tell, this is a beautiful- can public tell, this is a beautiful part of the world, we have the i love aaron rodgers over my shoulder. but we are bitterly exposed to the elements. that wind has been
8:47 am
whipping up and later on, we are expecting if you shower is as well. that could nullify some of the threat of movement on the leaderboard on moving day but as you know, at the open, anything can happen. it's less than a week to go until the opening ceremony of the olympic games in paris and one athlete with a great shot at a podium place is the sprinter amber anning. she's the british 200 metre indoor record holder and this year moved up to third on the british all time list. james dunn caught up with her on a rare return look at the gulf between her and the rest. a championship record, a stadium record, and that is after look at the gulf between her and the rest. taking her foot of the gas in the final metres. this is qualifying for the olympics in dramatic fashion. paris has been a goal since it was picked. i think it is such an honour to be going out there and representing not only sussex.
8:48 am
yearfor amber anning, and she is now even faster. she is one of three british women to run under 50 seconds, which has done multiple times this season. from a young age she seemed destined for greatness. at ten she was the best high jumper in the country and even then her motivation was evidence. my favourite event is sprints and high jump. i also like competing against new people and making new friends and trying to get personal bests each time. it is always good to go back to your roods and zigger we started, see how far i have come. it has a special place in my heart for job. anytime i come back to england i will always be back ear training. it is great to see it again. she usually trains in arkansas, where she is part of a superstar team of 400 metre runners. she broke the 200 metre records
8:49 am
in these days earlier this year. but back at her old club she needs help from proud family members who will follow her to paris this summer. whenever she is back in the uk i help her train. she had to drag me out of bed this morning. i was really tired but i said i would help her out, so i am always on the phone. sometimes i work out with her but not today. i was at the twenty20 want to made the finals, came last. i was the only one of the final they didn't go. that disappointment really fuelled me. you know, i have for years to get myself together, make sure i'm on the right set up, and push for it. i have high expectations. i have set my goals high. but it isjust executing an remaining faithful and trusting myself and all the training and the process. after missing out on tokyo, she is now hitting her stride at just the right time, getting to paris more of a marathon on. but now she hopes
8:50 am
to sprint to success. one of those sprinters that trains a lot outside the uk is a guy called louis hinchliffe who we will see in paris. he spent a lot of time in america, so there are benefits felt that might benefit those people back here watching them and supporting them. one of the things that happens in the olympics, you watch things like that and then i ask you how fast do you think you can run at the 100 metres? , ., ., ., ., , ., metres? they are amazing and you think, metres? they are amazing and you think. what — metres? they are amazing and you think, what would _ metres? they are amazing and you think, what would it _ metres? they are amazing and you think, what would it like _ metres? they are amazing and you think, what would it like to - metres? they are amazing and you think, what would it like to run - think, what would it like to run against them? i would be surprised if my knees allowed me to get to it and metres but this is speculatively because i haven't done it in so long. because i haven't done it in so lonu. ~ . because i haven't done it in so lon., . ., ., because i haven't done it in so lon~.~ ., ., because i haven't done it in so lon., . ., ., because i haven't done it in so lon. . ., ., if because i haven't done it in so long-_ if i i because i haven't done it in so - long._ if i could long. what do you think? if i could let long. what do you think? if i could net to 17 long. what do you think? if i could get to 17 or — long. what do you think? if i could get to 17 or 18- _ long. what do you think? if i could get to 17 or 18. |— long. what do you think? if i could

"parklife", "country house", "girls and boys" — just some of the singles which made blur one of the biggest british bands of the last 30 years. now a documentary "to the end" hasjust been released in cinemas. our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson, has been speaking to the band. forget parklife, this is stadium
8:52 am
life to the end is a behind the scenes look at blur getting ready for last summer's shows at wembley. good evening, wembley. we've been waiting for this moment all our lives. and then there was magic the band reuniting after an eight year hiatus. this is the view you got on stage at wembley. it's impressive. well, sure. it's wembley. sold out wembley, isn't it? was it memories? does that bring back? um, well, it's more like a dream now, to be honest with you. i've been going around the world saying the thing about wembley is it's actually a quite a small footprintjust built around the football pitch and isn't much bigger. so you can actually see the smiles on people's faces. looking at that. i've been lying. you can't. a couple of them are actually here tonight. i don't know how they manage it or why they care, but something's happened
8:53 am
in their minds. and really, this is a brotherhood that has been sustained by our musical relationship. i hope i've made the rest of the band proud. blur gave us their only interview about the film ahead of a special screening. bang on sir. thank you. and they all agreed damon should do his part separately to stop him hogging things. damon. wembley. why did it mean so much to you to play wembley stadium? well, we've, never played it before. we didn't really intend to play it again. it wasn't like part of a tour where we were playing lots of stadiums. it was, uh, the best show we've ever done. imean, inasmuch as 90,000 people can feel exclusive. it was an exclusive thing. only the people two nights who went there will have experienced that. we didn't replicate it anywhere else. i remember getting in the getting in the van and texting the tour manager, saying,
8:54 am
we're on our way to wembley and it's and and i was like, oh yeah. and i started singing it and i was with the kids and they were like, shut up, dad, shut up dad! and then we came into view. we came into view. see those those fabled arches. and, you know, it's monumental. it is actually a monument. it's it's so emblematic. and i went quiet at that point. and that's when the kids started singing. when you come off stage, you go, that was as good as it gets. you look ecstatic. yeah, there's, a bit of kind of sort of sadness to that because there's literally that's as good as it gets. i don't think it will ever get as good as that again. you know, maybe or maybe not. i mean, who knows? it's that difficult to deal with. no. not really. ijust go on and do something else. i'm quite good at walking away from things, you know. while still holding them in my heart. the fact that we haven't always got
8:55 am
on, it's one of the chemistry points that has led to us being able to make the moves that we do. why the decision to let a documentary crew follow you through the whole way? well, they always say. don't worry, at the end of day one, you won't even notice we're here. and then day seven, they're shoving their cameras right in your face. they say that again. say that again. so, yeah, you always regret it by about halfway through. yeah. it's sort of hard sometimes when you're just in the middle of a gruelling rehearsal and you're in a bad mood and your finger ends are killing you because you've been playing for six hours. and can we just have a do a, do a half an hour's interview, a little bit of a chat and then you're like, mhm. but i think there's a lot of decent paddy's i think, i think there's the all of the emotional food groups in there, and i think we all have a few our favourites. oh, thanks. you're my favourite. time is not infinite. it's a weird thing when you go back to something that
8:56 am
was so well documented. people feel like that's what you are, but they're so long ago. a large part of the film is about ageing and mortality. so are you thinking about it a lot more now? only in the sense anyone who's my age would think about that, you know? i mean, it's like. yeah, because i mean, you know, you have parents if you're lucky enough at my age to still have your parents, but they're getting very old, you know, you've got kids, they're getting older. you know, it's kind of it's a mad it's a mad time, really. they call it sniper�*s alley, don't they? the 50s. bob dylan announced this week he's going to be playing the uk right at the age of 83. yeah. of course. is that something you aspire to do. be to work with musicians who were virtually their age? will you be will i be? well, i'd love to be. i really, really would love to be. so i mean, we'll wait and see, won't we? he's banned mobile phones for the gig. you've got to put them in a holder.
8:57 am
yeah, ijust, i mean, i'm not, i mean i oh, god. if you start banning things i mean, where does it end? you know, i think i think you've just got to just turn up and do your thing and, you know, people won't want to be on their phone if you're. engaged in anything. in the film parklife, you get phil daniels back. have you heard robbie williams brought on danny dyer in hyde park? confidence is a preference for the eventual failure of what is known as pop life. i fell in love with danny dyer. really? after his who do you think you are? which was the best one ever? i mean, really, it was a true
8:58 am
revelation that he was a member of the royal family. for him and everybody watching it. it's a compliment, isn't it, i think. well, i mean, he's definitely from the east end. yeah. you know, he's a cockney, so. and i, we're all cockneys or so. i mean it's good. it's it's a song for us then it's good. it's a i hope everyone has their own version of it. success will mess you up far more than failure. this is going to work or not. well, the film is called to the end. where are we with blur? uh, well, we're definitely at the end of another chapter. give it eight years or so again. you might be back. i mean, eight years. 0k. no, i'm not going to say eight or one or 20. it's the end of the chapter. colin patterson, bbc news.
