more now on the digital outage that's disrupted systems around the world. this crisis was caused by a faulty software update and affected key infrastructure, including healthcare, banking and transport — all of which rely on microsoft systems. these services are slowly coming back online, but there are wider implications of this crisis beyond the immediate fix that is required. let's speak to simonjones, who's at heathrow airport. the after effects are keenly being felt. , ~ ., ., ., felt. yes. we were down at a terminal— felt. yes. we were down at a terminal to _ felt. yes. we were down at a terminal to a _ felt. yes. we were down at a terminal to a short _ felt. yes. we were down at a terminal to a short time - felt. yes. we were down at a terminal to a short time ago| felt. yes. we were down at a . terminal to a short time ago and felt. yes. we were down at a - terminal to a short time ago and i have to say it is very, very busy. to be fair, it was always going to be a really busy day at heathrow because it is the start of the school holidays for many families, but you have now got hundreds of

passengers who were not able to travel yesterday, who have turned up and they are standing in queues, trying to find alternative flights. in some cases, that is proving challenging. the good news is that all the it systems at airports across the uk are now up and running again. there are not any more problems on that front. the bad news is that because of all the problems yesterday, seven planes, pilots and cabin crew are not where they should be, and that means there are ongoing issues of delays and cancellations today. it is an improving picture because the latest figures we have are that almost 7000 flights globally were cancelled yesterday. today that figure so far stands at about 1500. but it has left many passengers wondering how they are going to get to where they need to be. i have been speaking to a couple of women at heathrow who are desperately trying to get back to germany. i desperately trying to get back to german . ., , ,

well with people are heading across a full summer holidays, and also heading to paris for the olympics, which are due to start next week. so there is going to be a lot of pressure on dover. but now you have got extra people turning up there. forcing people it is wanting their holidays to get under way, for others it is people who have been on holiday in the uk who are now desperately trying to get home, but so far today, around 50 flights to and from the uk have been cancelled. looking at the departure boards, some are facing some delays. but heathrow came to say it is operating normally today. but certainly some increased challenges here.- increased challenges here. simon jones, increased challenges here. simon jones. thank _ increased challenges here. simon jones. thank you _ increased challenges here. simon jones, thank you very _ increased challenges here. simon jones, thank you very much. - 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 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. unintelligible. 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. 24 hours ago, there was a burnt—out double—decker bus ride 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. a prisoner who escaped on the 18thjuly has been found in putney and returned to prison. the metropolitan police say he was found "as a result of a coordinated police operation working alongside colleagues from hm prison service" they add that "an investigation will continue into mr gomm escaping lawful custody." the times is reporting this morning that an above—inflation pay rise of 5.5% will be recommended for teachers and nhs staff. 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. this relates to the recommendations we expect 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 about 1.3 million nhs workers.

importantly, it is separate from the doctors and dentists' pay review. it won't resolve the dispute over junior doctors' pay, where we know the new health secretary is due to meet with unions this tuesday to try and further those talks. in effect, it is an annual pay review? it is exactly that. 0n the question is, if you go above what you are budgeting for, the chancellor has to find the money, right? absolutely, and that is the big problem, because we heard this morning from pauljohnson from the institute for fiscal studies, who said that at the moment what has been budgeted is around 2%, in line with inflation. if you are looking at an increase of 5.5%, he says that would mean an extra £1 billion for teaching staff, and double that for nhs workers. that becomes a bit of a problem in terms of where you get the money from, because of course we know the chancellor has set herself tight financial rules.

she has not got a lot of wiggle room. we heard labour same throughout the campaign that public sector finances are in a dire state and public services are in a dire state, so that would mean you would think that they don't want to take money from budgets elsewhere. we also know the labour party doesn't want to increase taxes and has set quite strict rules on that. and also they have said they don't want to increase borrowing, so the question will be, where is this money going to come from? it will be a difficult first decision in the first few weeks of the chancellor's new role. given those various questions and dilemmas, what would be the logic for going so far above the inflation rate? this is obviously a recommendation from the independent pay review bodies. the government doesn't have a say on that. you would normally expect the government to follow fairly closely in line with what the pay review bodies recommend, and we heard this morning from the national education union, and a spokesman said the figures are new to him but if it is correct, the government should honour that,

and he makes the point that in schools there was both the recruitment and retention crisis and they need a pay award that reflects that. that is a similar thing you are hearing also from the royal college of nurses. that relates to these two bodies, but this could set a precedent. if you are to raise public sector workers in these areas, their wages by that amount, what then about prison staff? we know there are recruitment and retention issues. what about the army and all of the other public sector workers? the snooker legend ray reardon, who came to prominence in the 19705 has died. the six—time world champion was 91. our sports correspondent andy swiss take a look back at his life. he was one of snooker�*s greatest players and entertainers. ray read

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 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 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, 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 205 and 305 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. ahead of the 2024 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. earlier i spoke to our sports reporter, sarah dawkins.

now. , . ._ , ., ., just two years after three wild bison were released into the kent countryside in the south of england to help restore the area to its natural state, their numbers have doubled. it's the first time the species has roamed free in the uk for centuries, and it's hoped the project will serve as a blueprint for similar wilding initiatives, as claudia sermbezis explains. three bison have now become six, including two calves — one being a happy surprise. it's been described as a ground—breaking rewilding project because these creatures help us manage our woods in a natural, sustainable way. you go to europe and there are wild animals that people live with. people live with wolves and lynx and bison. you know, in america, people go camping in yellowstone, where there are american bison,

which are very, very similar to the bison we've got here. they're not dangerous animals, but we're not used to living with them in this country. and it's so important for them to be out in the wild, to act as ecosystem engineers. you know, bison are rocket fuel for biodiversity. in romania, where they have reintroduced bison back into the wild, they've done some research at harvard recently, and 170 bison living in the wild were capturing the carbon of 43,000 cars. they're impressive, strong — the heaviest wild land animal in europe. some weigh a tonne, and they're having a big impact on the 56 hectares they're currently roaming on. bison, they they do a lot of grazing and browsing on the trees and this opens up long corridors. we've got lots of pathways through the woodlands. and, basically, this allows more light to the forest floor and light's essential for new growth. if you have a really thick canopy, nothing really grows

on the other layers, so it's not good for other species. there's a line injurassic park — "life finds a way". now i know it's a hollywood fiction, but stay with me on this because it's exactly what they're doing here. by helping the bison, they're letting nature find its own way to survive. conservationists say we're facing a nature biodiversity crisis. but by using these large herbivores to reinvigorate and create dynamic ecosystems, the project is becoming part of the solution. claudia sermbezis, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise.

many of us are feeling the humidity today. it is still quite warm. but the sunshine in some parts of the country will soon give way to rain clouds, if the rain hasn't reached you already. the weather front is currently across western parts of the you uk. can see the rain earlier on on the radar in western parts of scotland, moving through ireland, reaching western wales and south—west england. but to the east, we have had dry weather. a beautiful start to the day. quite murky end the rain. but i think we will keep the rain. but i think we will keep the dry weather the further east you are pretty much the rest of the day. let's zoom into the details. this is what it looks like in the short term. in south—western parts of england, extensive cloud, outbreaks of rain, some of them heavy. around 19 or 20 celsius. similarfor wales and the irish sea. but central england and yorkshire, hazy skies,

dry for many, but a few isolated storms, so you may see those symbols there. in the western isles, pressure conditions coming in after the passage of that cool front. 15 in stornoway. it will feel relatively fresh in the west of the uk with clear skies, but in the east, a lot of humidity, so temperatures in london, norwich will be around 17 or 18 degrees first thing on sunday. not quite so humid towards the west. that means lots of sunshine towards the west very early in the day on sunday, but then a weather front moves in and drifts in cloud and outbreaks of rain to northern ireland. the rest of the uk should have a fine day. just the odd shower. and pleasant temperatures. high teens, into the low 205. early next week, weather fronts high teens, into the low 205. early next week, weatherfronts moving in, but then a ridge of high pressure,

which means more settled conditions. any weather fronts will be generally weak and brushing north—western parts of the uk, so a little bit of a mixed bag, but overall it is actually not looking bad at all. and those temperatures are around the average for the time of year. goodbye.
