fresh calls for president biden to stand aside — with claims he did not recognise a longtime friend and fellow democrat at a recent meeting. bangladesh rocked by unrest... with more than 100 people killed in anti—government protests. thousands of workers at disneyland in california have voted in favour of a strike about pay. "audacious criminality" — the uk's home secretary condemns violent disorder in leeds. hello. global computer systems in healthcare, banking and airlines are slowly coming back online after a digital outage disrupted networks in many countries. the crisis was caused by a faulty

software update which affected microsoft windows systems. but it could be some time before all the backlogs are cleared. while some airline services are beginning to return to normal after thousands of flights were cancelled, operators expect some delays and cancellations to persist through the weekend. and many businesses are now dealing with backlogs and missed orders that could take days to resolve. the global chaos has sparked concern over the vulnerability of the world's interconnected technologies, and the extent to which a single software glitch could have such widespread impact. and the uk's national cyber security centre is warning that scammers could attempt to take advantage of the widespread computer problems. vinny mcaviney has the latest. 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. 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 going 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. 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�*s 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 ceo of the anti—virus firm crowdstrike has apologised for the disruption that was caused, but there are now questions about how a routine update went so wrong. emma vardy sent this report from outside the company's headquarters in texas. there hasn't been a lot of visible activity here at the headquarters of crowdstrike, based in austin, texas. you can only imagine, though, what is going on inside. before today, crowdstrike had built a pretty strong reputation in a relatively short space of time for providing top it security solutions. it's operating in more than 100 countries worldwide, it's relied upon by so many different types of businesses

and as well as it security, what crowdstrike also does is investigate hacks and do some detective work on the hackers that are behind major cyber attacks. now, the chief executive officer of the company has said he's deeply sorry. he has been speaking on an american business news network today. but as for why the problems happened in what was supposed to be a pretty routine update, the answer to that still isn't clear but some experts have speculated that perhaps it was a lack of testing which led to some weaknesses slipping through. so, from now on, crowdstrike are going to clearly face some credibility problems. their stock price has already fallen and there are growing questions about why so many different businesses and public services are reliant upon one company behind it all. and there are growing questions, too, about what repercussions software firms like this should face when flaws cause major disruption. 0ur sydney correspondent,

katy watson, has been giving us the latest from australia. it happened on a friday afternoon as before heading home it happened on a friday afternoon as before heading home for it happened on a friday afternoon as before heading home for the it happened on a friday afternoon as before heading home for the weekend. it is the end of the school holidays here. it is the worst possible time for such a huge outage. we saw airports cancel flights, huge delays. at supermarkets people abandoned their weekend shopping because there was no way of paying for it. but so far, now, saturday, sydney airport says things are back to normal. supermarkets are working again. there are blue screens of death on some of the tills. it is going to take some time for things to normal. big names like qantas, the national airline, all of these things are now kind of easing and getting back to normal. things are now kind of easing

and getting back to normal. some of the first reports were coming from australia. in terms of taking a look at what is going on in that part of the world... 0ur reporter, nick marsh is in singapore. things by and large have returned to normal. the biggest concern is the massive regional hub airport. they are saying that now things have pretty much got back to the way they were. just one airline, low—cost carrier, that are still doing manual checking. yesterday about a0 flights were cancelled. which for an airport like this where things do run smoothly, it was actually quite a lot. but overall things do seem to be returning to normal. what sort of lessons are being learned in singapore as to how a

repeat of this could be avoided? pretty much the same ones that are being asked all around the world. reliance on one piece of software, one kind of operating system. the irony really that it was a piece of software that was designed to stop cyber attacks actually being the cause of this worldwide malfunction. people now both in cyber security world and it systems, businesses, governments, as well, are going to be asking themselves, what is a contingency? what is the back—up? it is widely accepted that this was the largest it outage in history. an unprecedented situation. the lessons that we learn from that are, what happens when this happens? what do we do? singapore, from a technical point of

view, is very advanced. 0ne singapore, from a technical point of view, is very advanced. one wonders whether this reaffirms peoples faith in technology, or doesn't undermine it? the problems which were experienced in singapore with the same problems which were experienced pretty much everywhere. i don't think you can start laying blame on individual organisations or companies, that just bought a type of software. 0ne just bought a type of software. one thing that did emerge from yesterday that hasn't been spoken about much as how unaffected china was by this outage. china over the past ten or 20 years has slowly but surely started to wean itself off but they would considerforeign started to wean itself off but they would consider foreign software. they call it self—sufficiency when it comes to it systems. there is a big political dimension to that as well, because you have more control over how anybody accesses your online systems. in any case, the fact that a lot of companies were using this microsoft software and if we didn't have this particular crowd

strike piece of anti cyber attack software means that it didn't get any of these problems. 0nly foreign businesses or big foreign hotels that were experiencing this. there was a lot of chatter on chinese social media about how that was the case. it will be interesting to see how state media in china spends that. thank you. let us get more on this without technology editor. we were talking there are about lessons to be learned or conclusions to be drawn. what are your conclusions at this stage 2a hours on? we have had a crash course in it over the last 2a hours. a lot more people are a lot more aware of this tech infrastructure that has become part of the backbone of so much of our everyday digital lives, and how catastrophic it can be when one tiny thing happens not that system over.

the lessons we are going to look at going forward, resilience, also known as having a plan b a lot of people have said that they might start carrying cash again, so that they can pay if the payment system in shops was down. people in the newsroom are using more pens and paper than i have seen in quite a while. also, people thinking i might keep a back—up of that important note and kiss my computer has a screen of death and i can get back into it. how long that legacy is going to last i don't know stop people think they will change their behaviour, then the following week they have forgotten. there are also big questions to be asked of the giants. microsoft is very clear that it was not at fault here. but the question is how did that slip through its safety nets. that is a dilemma here. antivirus software, in order to be effective, has got to be a new machine at a

granular level so that it can find any potential malware that is speaking about, hidden away. but also, it has to have that kind of access that potentially leaves you vulnerable. and if the software in itself, as it has in the last 2a hours, expires. the question then becomes whether people have reaffirmed their faith in technology, because they think no technology will fix the problem, or whether they are backing away from it? you are suggesting there is a temporary backing away but the march of technology, artificial intelligence, will and must go on. i don't think technology is going to go backwards. that is too much money and power going into the big tech companies that are building and providing these tools. and there are lots of people who depend on it, and are encouraged to depend on it, to live our everyday lives. the benefits of it, the convenience of it, something that many people have accepted. but what we also would have to accept is that the more we use it, the more these outages are

going to affect us, the more we are going to affect us, the more we are going to affect us, the more we are going to notice them, and there were catastrophic they could potentially be. meanwhile, president 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 event last month. 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 recovering from covid, still rejects that conclusion. he insists he will be back on the campaign trail next week. peter bowes, bbc news. let's speak to katie pruszynski, a political analyst and phd research student at the department of politics and international relations at the university of sheffield. it appears we are at a crucial point in the trajectory of this particular campaign, running up to the presidential election in november, because donald trump has presented himself as vital and very much on the front foot, president biden on the front foot, president biden on the other hand is out of the picture. that is right. the timing of

biding's covid diagnosis has been incidental and allowing some of these democrat voices to come through. thejuxtaposition between through. the juxtaposition between biden�*s through. thejuxtaposition between biden�*s ill health with covid and trump being able to campaign on the basis that he survived an assassination attempt is quite stark. you have got that visible presentation of these two men who are otherwise a similar age to the american public. 0ne are otherwise a similar age to the american public. one is looking incredibly fragile, one now looks like he has defeated an assassination attempt. president biden may see — assassination attempt. president biden may see this _ assassination attempt. president biden may see this as _ assassination attempt. president biden may see this as an - assassination attempt. president - biden may see this as an opportunity to regroup, have a rethink, and response? i5 to regroup, have a rethink, and re5ponse?_ to regroup, have a rethink, and resonse? , ., ., ., ., response? is going to want to. the trouble is that _ response? is going to want to. the trouble is that now _ response? is going to want to. the trouble is that now you're - response? is going to want to. the trouble is that now you're starting l trouble is that now you're starting to see very serious high profile democrats come forward and take that moment forward in the proceedings to vocalise their thoughts about it. none of these people want to seejoe biden drop out of the race for policy reasons. this is not the squad talking about him not being

radical enough. this is very broad policy, a political problem, they don't that he can beat trump. he will struggle at this point to make the case that he is a strong enough and fit enough to not only beat trump but to then go on and do the demanding job of being president. you have got a 2—stage problem. can he beat trump? but then, do people believe he is strong enough to carry out the very rigorous demanding job of being president? realistically, that is less than three weeks to decide the answer to that question, if they would attempt to any kind of smooth transition? this is the key question for democrats now. because they cannot afford, and they will not want, you have an ugly fight about who could possibly take joe have an ugly fight about who could possibly takejoe biden�*s place in the ticket. every day that goes by that they don't have a solid nominee on a back—up plan, or they don't know whetherjoe biden is staying in the race, it is a day that they can

focus on, and everyone is talking to is good for the democrat nominee. the time is ticking down now. for democrats behind—the—scenes, they will not only be trying to see if they can urgejoe biden to move himself out of the race, they won't want to wield a knife towards him, as it were, he is so well respected within the party, but at the same time they need to get this in order so that they can have a sense of transition that allows them time to campaign on issues and notjust on the person. campaign on issues and not 'ust on the person.— the authorities in china's shaanxi province say eleven people have died and more than 30 are missing following the partial collapse of a highway bridge. a statement by the provincial authority said the bridge in shangluo city collapsed on friday due to a sudden downpour and flash floods. rescue teams have recovered several vehicles that had fallen into the river.

china's president, xijinping, has urged what he termed "all—out efforts" to find those still missing. soldiers are on patrol in cities across bangladesh, after another day of deadly clashes between student demonstrators and police. more than a hundred people have been killed in anti—government protests, triggered by the introduction of a quota system for governmentjobs. the bangladeshi capital, dhaka, was largely empty after a nationwide curfew went into effect on friday night and will remain in place until sunday morning. earlier, demonstrators stormed a prison in the city of narsingdi, freeing hundreds of inmates. the un human rights chief, volker turk, has described violence used by the security forces against student protesters as "shocking and unacceptable". he said those responsible must be held to account. now to news here in the uk — and police are continuing to search for people involved in violent disorder in leeds on thursday — in which a bus was set alight.

five people have been arrested so far. the disturbances, in the harehills area of the city, began after social services removed children from a family there. jim 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 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. that's disgusting. 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. 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 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. 0ur reporter, jessica lane is at the scene for us this morning. it is a lot quieter and calmer here this morning. we have had a team of street cleaners and litter pickers have come into this area this morning. they have done a greatjob in tidying up. that is because around 100 members of the roma community were gathering in this area last night. they came here peacefully, in solidarity with the family, who we believe to be at the centre of what happens, that sparked all of the unrest on thursday night. the people

came here last night, they were very peaceful. but the area did need a fair bit of tidying up. you can see as well there is a large police presence in this area. we have had four or five police vans full of officers coming here. they have told me that they are here for reassurance. and that so far they have not had any further trouble over or this morning. and they, as well as the people who live and work here, hope that that continues. however, police say they are still looking at what happened on thursday night and friday morning. they have already made some arrests, and that they will keep pursuing people who were involved in the disorder, and that they will make further arrests in the coming days. the quest has been on to answer the question is, how did this violence start? how was it like to escalate? yes, thatis how was it like to escalate? yes, that is right. that is what everyone here wants to know. people here are shocked and distressed about what happened stop people have been saying, it was not that they were

expecting at all. they feel scared, they feel worried. that is why police are saying they are here now, to reassure the community here that the police are here, and that they want things to stay calm, and that they do hope that they don't have any more pockets of unrest over the weekend. however, they are saying that they are planning to find people who were involved, and that they do want to make sure that anyone who was involved in that disorder, which really got quite violence, they want to make sure that they are found, and they are arrested. thank you. thousands of workers at disneyland in california have voted in favour of strike action in a dispute about pay. employees say they can't afford to live in the expensive neighbourhoods near the amusement park. disney says it is committed to reaching a deal. it's business as usual here outside disney headquarters, and that's what the executives inside want the public to know as well. disneyland is open.

disneyland. business as usual. the strike authorisation vote does not mean a strike is imminent. both sides say that. disney has said in a statement that it's committed to reaching a deal with its cast members, and that's what the workers at disneyland are called by the company. if you work there, you're a pirate, a princess or a plumber. you are a cast member. there's a bit of a performance involved in creating the magic at disney, and that's what the workers say, they say, you know, we make the magic, you make the money, and they would like some more of it. i was at a protest there earlier this week where, you know, i heard harrowing stories from disney workers about how difficult it is to make ends meet. living in southern california and trying to get to the park, trying to find a place to live within commuting distance of the park. they make about $20 an hour, which is seems like good money. but if you're on your own living in southern california or trying to raise a family, that's not a lot of money at all. it's difficult. the cost of living is

astronomical, so they're hoping for some more money. um, i spoke to some people who were living in their cars or in cheap motels around the park, and that's something they say that that has to stop. but they say disneyland is a place where dreams do come true. so maybe they will for these workers when they resume contract negotiations next week. that strike authorisation vote should give them a little bit more leverage anyway. american singer bruce springsteen has officially reached billionaire status. according to forbes, the boss is apparently worth $1.1 billion, following a six—decade career that's seen him release 21 studio albums, seven live albums, and five eps, selling over 1a0 million albums globally. stay with us here on bbc news.

more now on the digital outage that's disrupted systems around the world. healthcare, banking and transport services are slowly coming back online. the crisis was caused by a faulty software update, affecting microsoft windows systems. the fix requires physical fingers on keyboards, which can take some time, and relies on companies having ready and responsive it departments. to understand more about why this happened and how to prevent similar outages in future, we can speak now to technology expert, paul armstrong. are we to be encouraged by the fact that within a 2a—hour is, the problem seems largely resolved, or not? i problem seems largely resolved, or not? ~ , ., , ., not? i think we should be. it would have been great _ not? i think we should be. it would have been great if— not? i think we should be. it would have been great if the _ not? i think we should be. it would have been great if the problem - have been great if the problem didn't happen and there are things that companies could have done to effectively minimise this. it has

techniques and intelligence. criminals are increasingly stealing handsets in order to access people's banking and financial data. the thefts often leave victims out of pocket — sometimes by tens of thousands of pounds. dan whitworth from radio a'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 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 a 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, both 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 the 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. let's speak to dan whitworth now. how widespread has this problem become and is it getting worse? tier? become and is it getting worse? very widesread become and is it getting worse? very widesoread and _ become and is it getting worse? - widespread and yes, it is getting worse. i will give you some details, figures from uk finance which is the banking and trade industry body here in the uk. they say that last year, more than 20,000 victims had £a5

million stolen this way. in victims, thatis million stolen this way. in victims, that is an increase of two thirds and the money being stolen, and increase of third. certainly in terms of the reports are to banks, yes, problem is getting bigger and thatis yes, problem is getting bigger and that is a huge amount of money. the next obvious — that is a huge amount of money. the next obvious question is, you say that in your report, but to go through it again, how can people protect themselves?— through it again, how can people protect themselves? there are some clear ste -s protect themselves? there are some clear steps and _ protect themselves? there are some clear steps and this _ protect themselves? there are some clear steps and this is _ protect themselves? there are some clear steps and this is one _ protect themselves? there are some clear steps and this is one of- protect themselves? there are some clear steps and this is one of the - clear steps and this is one of the key messages that the police wanted to get out as part of this report. number one, use a face id or fingerprint id on your phone if you can to unlock it. always make sure you use different pass codes or pin numbers to unlock your phone as those ones that access those banking and financial apps, so don't use the same passwords. i used to until i started to do this report. make sure you use different passcodes to get into those apps. you can do other things like just be aware of your

surroundings when you're using your phone and i must say, of the seven or eight victims i have spoken to during the year i have been reporting on this issue, none of them keep ranking orfinish your apps on their phone any more, only on devices that stay—at—home. that is drastic for some people, you lose that easy access, but those i have spoken to say that is a price worth paying. spoken to say that is a price worth -a inc. ~ . spoken to say that is a price worth .a in. _ . ., ., spoken to say that is a price worth .ain._ ., ., spoken to say that is a price worth paying. what other banks saying? interestingly. _ paying. what other banks saying? interestingly, banks _ paying. what other banks saying? interestingly, banks are _ paying. what other banks saying? interestingly, banks are slowly i interestingly, banks are slowly coming to the party on this. not just the banks, it is the handset manufacturers, so earlier this year, apple introduced stolen device protection, that gives a one—hour delay if your device is stolen so you can get your control of your device before criminals are able to change any of those security settings. monsoon and payment service providers, privilege, they are introducing new tactics and

software that can also try to minimise the amount of disruption if criminals are able to get all of your device. in terms of that, they are alive to the risks, you're more traditional high street banks will start to catch up but certainly uk finance, that trade industry body here in the uk, they would say banks are allowed to the risks and they are allowed to the risks and they are trying to mitigate those risks to member of the public. it are trying to mitigate those risks to member of the public.- are trying to mitigate those risks to member of the public. it used to be when i started _ to member of the public. it used to be when i started reporting - to member of the public. it used to l be when i started reporting business news that people would say, keep an eye on transactions. i have been talking to a colleague who told me this happened within a very short amount of time and that is what is so alarming about it, the speed, isn't it? ~ ,,., , so alarming about it, the speed, isn't it? ~ , ., ., , isn't it? absolutely and that ties with everything _ isn't it? absolutely and that ties with everything i _ isn't it? absolutely and that ties with everything i have _ isn't it? absolutely and that ties with everything i have been - isn't it? absolutely and that ties with everything i have been told j isn't it? absolutely and that ties i with everything i have been told by victims on this. quite often, you heard in that report, people most likely to be victims of this are young men, in their20s likely to be victims of this are young men, in their 20s and 30s, on nights out. those criminals were not stealing those films and then going to bed and doing all their dirty deeds the next day, they are getting

on stealing that money straightaway, very often within a couple of hours, if not an hour or so. these are huge transactions. i have spoken to victims we have £18,000, £22,000 stolen. the gentleman in that report had tens of thousands of pounds stolen and these are thefts that are happening within hours of film is being stolen. again, it is key that people stay allowed to these risks as much as they can.— people stay allowed to these risks as much as they can. thank you so much forjoining _ as much as they can. thank you so much forjoining us. _ the us has announced plans to phase out the purchase of single—use plastics by the federal government by 2035, as part of a broader strategy to tackle plastic pollution. the white house outlined the details of the plan, which included purchasing single—use plastic for food, events and packaging by 2027. by 2035, the government plans banish single—use plastics from all government operations. the white house called it the first comprehensive strategy to tackle

plastic use nationwide. jenn engstrom is a state director at calpirg and a co—author of plastic bag bans work, a major report into reducing plastic consumption. she explained a little more about how the ban would work, and how effective it might be. the us government is the world puzzlement largest purchaser of goods services and its purchasing decisions can have a global impact, so the us government moving away from single used plastics is really a big deal. especially when you add that with all of the work that has already been done at this stage and local level to move away from single—use plastics. 0ver local level to move away from single—use plastics. over 12 states, for example, in over 500 cities, have placed a ban on plastic grocery bags and there are also cities and states moving away from single use foam and takeout containers, so when

you add all the work that has been done across the state and local level, there is a lot, but it is true that the federal level, the federal government has been behind and that is why it is so great to see this action proposed by the buying and ministration. it is really time for the federal government to start taking action as well. ahead of the 202a olympic games, a team at bbc sport has set off on a 500—mile cycle from manchester to paris. they're due to arrive in the french capitaljust in time for the opening ceremony next friday. but they're currently in berkshire — and we can go live to them now where sarah dawkins has stopped for a break. thankfully, there is plenty of water here. day five here, we havejust about covered half of those 500

three bison have now become a six, including two calves, one being a happy surprise. it has been described as a ground—breaking rewilding project because these creatures help us manage our woods in it natural, sustainable way. you io to in it natural, sustainable way. you go to europe _ in it natural, sustainable way. you go to europe and _ in it natural, sustainable way. gm. go to europe and there are wild animals that people live with. people live with rules and bison. in america, people go camping in yellowstone where there are animals that are similar to the bison we have here. they are not dangerous but we are not used to living with them and it is so important for them to be out in the wild to act as ecosystem engineers. bison or rocket fuel for diversity. in rumania where they have reintroduced bison into they have reintroduced bison into

fiction but this is exactly what they are doing here, by helping the bison, benefiting nature to find its own way to survive. conservationists say we are facing eight nature biodiversity crisis but by using these large herbivores to reinvigorate and create a dynamic ecosystems, the project is becoming part of the solution. stay with us here on bbc news. friday was a hot and humid day but as we move through the weekend, the

weather story once again is on the change. it will turn colour and there will be some rain around at times. let's take a look at where the recent rain has been and certainly come across north—west scotland and northern ireland with some heavier bursts starting to push into south—west england and wales. that means the best of any early—morning brightness and sunshine has been out towards the east. a beautiful start in east anglia, take a look at the suffolk with lots of sunshine coming through. you mightjust cling on to the sunshine as we go through the day but for many, the cloud will arrive and continue to push its most deadly east but for eastern scotland and a central and eastern england, it will still feel quite warm and humid with it and that could trigger if you sharpen rate downpours. rain could be quite heavy out of the south—west and we could see as much as an inch and that will have an impact on the feel of the weather. 19 degrees in plymouth, 25 in london. we could see a future within

the rate downpours. some rain into the rate downpours. some rain into the north west of england, that rain gradually easing out of northern ireland by the end of the afternoon and the east west divide continues across scotland. as we go through the night, the rain will drift its way north and east. some heavy bursts for a time. a legacy of cloud setting a crossing in and wales, not that much in the way of rain here, it will stay relatively mild and muqqy it will stay relatively mild and muggy through the night with overnight lows into the mid to high teens. we could start off on a rather great note across central and eastern england to begin with. brightening up behind and on the whole for sunday, a relatively quiet day with some sunny spells. just a little rain into northern ireland, the risk of if you are suited showers elsewhere but a pleasant feel particularly if you have that sunshine with temperatures peaking at 23 degrees. into the early half of the week ahead, we will see warm weather front clearing through on monday, a ridge of high pressure

building within another weather front waiting in the wings. we are back to this story that we have seen throughout the summer so far with no two days the same. there will be some showers, some sunshine at times and again, we keep that fresh feel.
