a long—time 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. hello. global computer systems in health care, 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 coming through. it'sjust there's no signals. at crowdstrike, we monitor trillions of cyber events... i 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 i things from happening. we're deeply sorry for the impact that we've 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 widespread global impact of a single software glitch has given many a cause for concern. our technology editor, zoe kleinman, has more on this. i think ithinka i think a lot more people are a lot more aware now 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 that knocks that system over. i think the lessons we will look at going forward, number one, is resilience, also known as having a plan b. i've had lots of people say to me in the last 2a hours, thinking that they might start carrying cash again so they can pay. if the payment system goes down. i have seen people in the newsroom using pens and paper more than i have done in recent years. people thinking that they will take

an important back—up of an important note, in case of a blue screen of death. how long this legacy will last, i don't know. something big like this happens and everyone thinks they will change their behaviour and the following week, they have forgotten all about it. we will have to see. there are big questions to be asked of the giants was up microsoft was clear it is not an issue caused by them, it was not their update. virus software has to be deep within your machine at a granular level, but it means it has to have this access that potentially leaves you vulnerable if the software itself misfires, as it has in the last 44 hours. the question then is, will people have their faith reaffirmed

the question then is, will people have theirfaith reaffirmed in technology, or are they backing away question what you are suggesting that there is a temporary backing away, but the march of technology will add must go on? i don't think technology will go backwards, there is far too much money and power going into 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 is something that many people have accepted. but we will also have to accept that the more we use it, the more these outages will affect us, the more we will notice them and the more catastrophic they could potentially be. earlier i spoke to our reporter, simonjones, who's at heathrow airport. i have just been down at terminal two. it is very busy there. the message and getting speaking to the airports in the uk is that the

systems are back up and running again, there are no longer it problems. the big issue that is facing people wanting to travel is, because of the cancellations yesterday, around 350 flights in and out of the uk were grounded, that means that today some planes and cabin crews are not where they should be, so some flights today have had to be cancelled as well because people are simply not in the right place. if you add in the flights that were cancelled yesterday, that means you have thousands of people who have been unable to travel to get to where they want to get, or unable to get back to the uk, perhaps, if i got on holiday. down in the terminal, very busy. we were speaking to a couple of women from germany whose flight was cancelled yesterday, they are on holiday here, and now they are desperate to try to find another flight to get them back to germany. they were standing on a long queue, seeing what arrangements they could make. some of them told me that they

had trouble finding accommodation last night, some were sleeping in the airport. i think what the airports themselves are saying is, check before you set out, because the knock—on effects of what happened yesterday are likely to be felt for another day or so as the airline companies try to get things back on track. simonjones, reporting from heathrow. we have some figures regarding the level of flight cancellations that happened on friday and today, so this is the airline data provider who says that 6855 flights were cancelled globally yesterday, and that is 6.2% of scheduled flights. if we look at today, as of 10am british summer time, which is london time, 1639 flights have been cancelled globally today. just over 1.5% of scheduled

flights. so 6% yesterday, 1.5% today. but we are still fairly early in the day. 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. the authorities in china's shaanxi province say 11 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. the government in bangladesh

has imposed a nationwide curfew and called on the army to help quell protests in which at least 67 people have been killed. students have been demanding that ministers scrap a quota system which reserves many public sector jobs for the relatives of veterans of the country's war of independence. the un has said violence against the protesters has been shocking and unacceptable. a spokeperson for the bangladesh police have said around 300 bangladeshi police officers were injured during friday clashes with demonstrators in multiple locations around the capital dhaka. maya tudor from the university of 0xford's blavatnik school of government has been explaining the background to violence. the impetus for these protests was a recent bangladesh high court decision to reinstate, as you said, civil service employment quotas for

relatives for the country's freedom fighters. to understand why these quotas are so contentious, one has to understand that the independence of bangladesh is relatively recent, it was only in 1971, a bloody battle that scholars called a genocide. but it obtained its independence. quotas reserved 30% of civil service seats for those veterans, and they were widely accepted as legitimate. today, however, that context feels very different. first of all, those jobs are incredibly stable and lucrative and prestigious, there are just a few hundred of them, and almost 500,000 bangladeshis compete for those jobs. almost 500,000 bangladeshis compete for thosejobs. with the in almost 500,000 bangladeshis compete for those jobs. with the in current government, the prime minister is the daughter of the country's founding father, and what that means

is that many of her party's members benefit from these quotas, and the context today feels, according to some of the students i have spoken with, that it effectively entrenches the incumbent elite in positions of power. the incumbent elite in positions of ower. , , , . power. underlying this is concern about the political— power. underlying this is concern about the political backdrop. - power. underlying this is concern about the political backdrop. we | power. underlying this is concern . about the political backdrop. we had elections earlier this year, this country has made huge advances economically, but there is concern about democracy and authoritarianism. ~ , , authoritarianism. absolutely. this is takin: authoritarianism. absolutely. this is taking place _ authoritarianism. absolutely. this is taking place against _ authoritarianism. absolutely. this is taking place against a _ authoritarianism. absolutely. this is taking place against a very - is taking place against a very different context than previous elections. it is worth noting that the students to protest against these quotas in 2018, the government, which was the same government, then promised to get rid of these quotas, and the high court reinstated them just now. but the context is really different because

the prime minister is strengthening as an incumbent today. many democracy organisations worry that bangladesh is becoming a one—party state. but the context is also different economically. in 2018, growth was around 8%. growth is substantially down, inflation is up and what that means is that for the everyday person on the street, they are much more concerned about their pocketbook than when these protests last emerged. the last thing to note is that this is happening against the backdrop of multiple exposes of corruption in the incumbent government, and that has intensified discontent with the government and not just amongst students. now it's time for a look at today's sport. the leaders aren't due out for a little while yet, but perhaps those who have started their third rounds of the open at royal troon might have the better of the conditions today. ben croucher is on the

west coast of scotland to see who might profit on so—called moving day. the early starters seem to be profiting so far this morning, yes. welcome to royal troon. we have been here for four days here welcome to royal troon. we have been here forfour days here now, and conditions at the moment are the commerce we have seen. we have the sun poking through, we have a gentle breeze, a little more than that, and those already on the course in their third round are making the most of it. we have seen some make three straight birdies, another getting four birdies in his first six holes. adam scott has just started birdie— bertie. we are expecting the wind to pick up a little bit over the next few hours, and crucially, around the same time that the leaders tee off in about four hours, a little bit of rain in the air as well. shane lowry is at the top of the pile at the

minute, the 2019 champion from portrush. he was 33 in the world then, 33 in the world now. is that an omen? it is the first time since 1951 that the uk and ireland have held the top three spots. don't discount scottie scheffler and, the masters champion, the force of world golf this year. he has been almost unnoticed this week. the irons should be crucial in this. we still have a little while before they tee off. whether the weather is still as favourable in a few hours' time, it is scotland, so don't discount it. thank you. west indies will hope to establish a first innings lead on day three of the second test against england at trent bridge. kavem hodge's century helped get the tourists this far,

with the 65 run deficit they had at the beginning of the day already reduced. just the seven runs put on for the loss of one wicket, courtesy of chris woakes. getting jason holder early on. the west indies 358—6, a deficit of 58 runs at trent bridge. the all blacks ran in seven tries to ease past fiji 47—5 in their one—off test in san diego. new zealand sealed a hard—fought 2—0 series win against england last week on home soil and despite leading this one 26—5 at half—time, fiji managed to restrict their opponents to the lowest score of their eight test encounters. elsewhere, australia survived a fightback from georgia to win 40—29. the wallabies make it three from three under new coachjoe schmidt. finally, just before i go, there's time to remind aspiring athletes that, when you're racing, you should never ease up

before the finish. british teenager jake 0dey—jordan learned that the hard way while competing in the heats of the 200m at the european athletics under—18 championships in slovakia. as you can see, he had victory in the bag. but this mistake cost him dear. he finished fifth and didn't progress from his heat. it's unlikely he'll make that mistake ever again. and that's all the sport for now. here in the uk, the times newspaper is reporting that an above—inflation pay rise of 5.5% will be recommended for teachers and nhs staff. this is more than the 3% the government has budgeted for. 0ur political correspondent, charlotte rose, told me that the bbc haven't confirmed the figure yet.

it seems to have taken the unions themselves by surprise as well. what this relates to is the recommendations that we are expecting to get this month from the school teachers review body, which represents about 500,000 school teachers, and also the nhs pay review body which represents 1.3 nhs million nhs workers. that is separate from the doctors and dentists pay review body. so this is not to do with the junior doctors pay review, where the health minister is going to try and further those talks. the question is, if you go above what you are budgeting for, the chancellor has defined the money, right? absolutely. that is the big rob here. what has been budgeted is around 2%, so in line with inflation. if you are looking at an

increase of 5.5%, that becomes a bit of a problem in terms of a get the money from because we know the chancellor, rachel reeves, has set herself tight financial rules, she has not got a lot of wiggle room. we have heard labour say throughout the campaign that the public sector finances are in a diet state, that public services are in a dire state. so they wouldn't want to take money from budgets elsewhere. we also know that the labour party does not want to raise taxes, it has set strict rules on that, and they also don't want to increase borrowing. so the question will be, where will the money come from? it will be a difficult first decision in the first two weeks of the chancellor's new role. given those various questions and dilemmas, what would be the logic for going so far above inflation? this is obviously a recommendation

from the independent pay review bodies, the government doesn't have a say on that. normally you expect the government to follow very closely in line with what the pay review bodies recommend. we heard this morning from the national education union, who said that the figures are new, but if they are correct, the government should honour that. correct, the government should honourthat. he correct, the government should honour that. he makes the point that in schools there is both a recruitment and retention crisis and they need a pay award that reflect that. we are hearing similarfrom the royal college of nurses. but this could set a precedent, if you are to raise public sector workers in these areas, what about prison staff? we know there are recruitment and retention issues. what about the army and all the other public sector workers? a hard—line ukrainian nationalist party has blamed russia for killing one of its most

prominent members. iryna farion was shot while walking through a street in the western city of lviv. she was a former mp for the svoboda party, and had achieved noteriety for insulting the country's russian—speakers. a statement by svoboda said that farion had been murdered on the orders of moscow. however, ukraine's interior ministry said it had "several versions" of who might be responsible. thousands of workers at disneyland in california have voted in favour of strike action in a dispute about pay. thousands of workers at disneyland in california have voted 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 is business as usual here outside disney headquarters, and that is what the executives inside what the public to know as well. disneyland is open, business as usual. the strike authorisation vote does not mean a strike is imminent. both sides say that. disney has set in a

statement that it is committed to reaching a deal with its cast members. if you are a member, you are a pirate, a princess, a plumber, you are a cast member. that is what the workers say, 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 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 per hour, which seems like good money but if you're on your own thing in southern california or trying to raise a family, that is not a lot of money at all. the cost of living is astronomical. so they are hoping for some more money. i spoke to some people who were living in their cars or in cheap motels around the park, and that is

something they say 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 some more leveraged, anyway. 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. jenn engstrom is an anti—plastics camapigner and co—author of plastic bag bans work. she explained a little more about how the ban would work, and how effective it might be.

this is a big deal, especially when you add that with all of the work thatis you add that with all of the work that is being done at this state 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, and over 500 cities have placed a ban on plastic grocery bags. there are also cities and states that are moving away from single—use foam and takeout containers. when you add all of the work that is being done across the state and local level, there is a lot, but it is true that the federal level has been behind. that is why it is so great to see this action being proposed by the biden administration. it is time for the federal government to take action as well. 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 cooler and there will be some rain around at times. let's take a look at where the recent rain has been. certainly across north—west scotland and northern ireland come with heavy bursts starting to push into south—west england and wales. that means the best of any early—morning brightness, even some sunshine, has been out towards the east. it was a beautiful starting east anglia. take a look at suffolk, with lots of sunshine coming through. you might cling on to the sunshine as we go through the day, but for many, the cloud will arrive and push steadily eastwards. but for eastern scotland and central and eastern england, it is still quite warm and humid with it and that could trigger some sharp thundery downpours. the rain could be heavy to the south—west, perhaps as much as an inch, that will impact the feel of the weather. 19 degrees in plymouth, 2a or 25 in london. the highest values in east anglia with

27 if you keep the sunshine. also some sharp thundery downpours. rain into the north west of england, gradually easing out of northern ireland by the end of the afternoon. a west— east divide continues in scotland. as we go through the night, the rain will drift north and east and heavy bursts for a time, a legacy of cloud sitting across england and wales. relatively mild and muggy through the night with overnight close into the mid to high teens. we could start on a great note in central and eastern england for a time. a relatively mild day with sunny spells. some showery rain into northern ireland and the risk of some isolated showers elsewhere. but a pleasant feel in the sunshine with temperatures peaking at 23 degrees. into the early half of the week ahead, we have one weather front clearing through on monday, ridge high pressure building, but

the where the front moving through. no two days the same, really. some showers, some sunshine at times and again we keep that fresh feel.

this is bbc news. the headlines...

travellers are feeling the knock—on effects of yesterday's worldwide tech outage, with more flight cancellations today, despite computers being back up and running. more than 6,800 flights were cancelled globally on friday. a senior democrat has written in a us newspaper claiming joe biden didn't recognise him at d—day commemorations in normandy despite their long friendship. there are now at least 30 congressional democrats calling for the 81—year—old to bow out of the race. soldiers have been deployed to the streets of bangladesh after a day of deadly clashes between student demonstrators and police. a national curfew has been imposed. and disneyland workers in california have voted in favour of going on strike amid complaints about low wages and intimidation by managers. i thought
