should he stay or should he go? joe biden insists he won't quit the race for the white house, despite growing pressure from democrats. the government in bangladesh imposes a nationwide curfew following violent protests in which more than 100 people died. and members of the refugee olympic team arrive in paris just days before the games are due to start. hello. there are warnings that cyber criminals looking to exploit yesterday's global it outage could cause further disruption. australia has issued alerts that hackers are sending out fake software fixes. in total, more than 8,000 flights have been cancelled since yesterday, with the potential for more delays today.

here in the uk, airports, which saw severe disruption, say that systems are working again but advised people to check before travelling. a flawed update, rolled out by the cybersecurity firm crowdstrike, knocked many machines offline, hampering retail systems and healthcare, with problems for gps and pharmacies. here's our technology editor, zoe kleinman. yesterday, the global it outage caused worldwide chaos. today, we're still dealing with the aftermath. thousands of flights were grounded and while airports are getting back to normal, there are still many travellers who are stuck. my flight got cancelled while i coming out of my aeroplane and i've been stranded for around... 0ver 2a hours by now, i think. i have been on my feet for four days by now, i think. no—one can really help me right now. now the children are napping on the floor.

we had no help. we found another flight, but it's not on the same company and it's only tomorrow morning, so we have to find a room for tonight. queues quickly built up at dover this morning, with people trying to find other ways to get abroad. the port's advice is not to arrive without a ticket. gps were forced to cancel appointments and some patients struggled to get hold of vital medicines. pharmacists had difficulties issuing prescriptions — including for themselves. in terms of pharmacy workload, it has impacted on how we interact with patients because, obviously, those electronic prescriptions and that sort of more seamless service hasn't been available. then, personally, i have also been unable to access my electronic prescription, so i really feel for the patients because i am one of them. however, workarounds are possible for those with urgent medicine needs. they were able to take my nhs number

and look me up in their system to see that i have been prescribed this before. so the pharmacist will be able to dispense it today. when i saw that it systems were down i thought, well, i'm glad i'm not flying anywhere today, but it didn't occur to me that something like getting my prescription would be impossible. will anyone be liable for the cost of all this turmoil? the us cybersecurity firm crowdstrike has apologised for its disastrous update but it was only microsoft—powered computers which crashed. there's also the companies themselves, who don't seem to have had back—up systems. it shows just how dependent we are on a small number of big tech companies to run our digital lives, and how vulnerable this leaves us when something goes wrong. zoe kleinman, bbc news. with me is our technology reporter, chris vallance. we started with these warnings about potential criminals sending out fake

to add into the mix, you have hundreds of people turning up at the terminal, desperately trying to find flights today, because their flights yesterday were cancelled. so add that in, that creates more people in the terminal. i've been speaking to the main airports around the uk, and the good news is they all say there are no longer any it issues, those have been resolved. the bad news, because there were so many cancellations yesterday, you have a lot of planes, a lot of cabin crew and pilots, in the wrong place. that means there are going to be further cancellations and delays throughout the course of today, and into tomorrow too. it is an improving picture, because globally, almost 7,000 flights were grounded yesterday. today, so far, that figure stands atjust over 1,500, but it still leaves a lot of people wondering how they are going to get away on holiday or get back home

if they've been in the uk, so still a worrying time for some people. passengers i have spoken to in heathrow, really, they're saying they don't blame the airlines or the airport, this does seem to be out of their control, but they do complain about a lack of information. there are a lot of staff from heathrow in the terminals, extra staff have been brought in to try to help those people still trying to get to where they need to go. but one thing passengers have been saying to me is they don't want to spend another night sleeping on the terminalfloor. in the us, joe biden has 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 friend, said biden didn't seem

to recognise him at a recent event. let's speak to our correspondent ione wells. talk to us first about the pressure from democrats onjoe biden�*s position. from democrats on joe biden's osition. . , , , ., , from democrats on joe biden's osition. . , ,, , position. that pressure has been curowin position. that pressure has been growing and _ position. that pressure has been growing and growing _ position. that pressure has been growing and growing over- position. that pressure has been growing and growing over the . position. that pressure has beenl growing and growing over the last couple of weeks. momentarily, attention was sort of taken offjoe biden with the republican convention in milwaukee, the attempted assassination attempt on donald trump which somewhat paused campaigning. but now the campaigning is up and running again, that pressure from the democrats has continued to grow. another dozen democratic lawmakers this week came out to say publicly that they think he should step aside. certainly privately as well, all these kind of briefings going on behind the scenes, with many newspapers in the us running reports aboutjoe biden�*s in a circle, his family, former president barack 0bama, the speaker nancy pelosi, briefing that all these people have privately raised concerns about his fitness for office. some of the reports have

been dismissed or denied, but the way this is playing out in a very private yet public manner is certainly adding more and more pressure tojoe biden. the concern among democrats is notjust about his general fitness for office, it is really about whether or not he can defeat donald trump, because thatis can defeat donald trump, because that is certainly the main concern from democrats, notjust whether he can win the presidential race, but also whether democrats would potentially under his leadership lose both house and the senate, giving huge amounts of power and control to the republican party. that the major concern on the minds of a lot of democrats and they are worried about what the polls are telling them publicly, but also what internal polling might say to them privately. that seems to be what is being briefed out in a lot of the press and papers here. talk being briefed out in a lot of the press and papers here.- press and papers here. talk us throu~h press and papers here. talk us through what _ press and papers here. talk us through what we _ press and papers here. talk us through what we are _ press and papers here. talk us through what we are hearing . press and papers here. talk us i through what we are hearing from press and papers here. talk us - through what we are hearing from the white house. joe biden isolating because of covid. and the plans for next week. because of covid. and the plans for next week-— next week. that's right. he has hit back at these _ next week. that's right. he has hit back at these reports _ next week. that's right. he has hit back at these reports and -

next week. that's right. he has hit back at these reports and this - back at these reports and this speculation, saying he is very much looking forward to resuming campaigning next week. as you mentioned, he has been isolating at his holiday home in delaware, because he contracted covid and his team said he was experiencing mild symptoms but that he was generally 0k. symptoms but that he was generally ok. but certainly he has hit back, saying he is excited to get on with campaigning. his campaign spokespeople have also said he is not dropping out of the race, they have been very defiant about that. what is interesting is how his position has slightly shifted about what it would take for him to step aside. when these reports first started emerging, he said only the lord almighty, only god would make him step aside. recently he slightly softened on that, in a recent interview he said that if a doctor told him he had a medical condition that meant he should step aside, then he would consider doing so. so i think certainly he has seemed publicly to be a little more open, evenif publicly to be a little more open, even if his statements are very much still that he is staying.—

still that he is staying. thank you very much- _ soldiers are patrolling the largely deserted streets of bangladeshi cities under a nationwide curfew after days of serious unrest and more than 100 deaths. there have been sporadic clashes. in one district of the capital, dhaka, witnesses said riot police fired live rounds on thousands of protesters who'd ventured out. 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. maya tudor — from the university of oxford'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 servant employment quotas for relatives of the country's freedom fighters. to understand why these

quotas are so contentious, one has to understand that the independence struggle for bangladesh is relatively recent. it was only in 1971, a very bloody battle that some scholars call a genocide, that the country gained independence. in the context of that time, quotas, which reserved 30% of civil service seats for those veterans, were widely accepted as legitimate. today, however, that context feels very different. first, thosejobs are incredibly stable and lucrative and prestigious. there are just a few hundred of them, and almost half a million bangladeshis compete for those jobs. and in addition, the current government, the incumbent the incumbent government, the prime minister hasina is the daughter of the country's founding father.

that means many of her party's members benefit from these quotas. in the context today, according to some of the students i have spoken with, that effectively entrenches the incumbents in positions of power. now it's time for a look at today's sport. let's take you to the west coast of scotland for the third day of the open at royal troon — moving day, as it's known. the leaders will tee off within the hour, but we can cross now to ben croucher. any movement further down the leaderboard? we have had plenty, it feels like we have been waiting all day for this, but it is go time at the open championship, and the calmer conditions in the morning have led to some low scoring. 66s by adam scott and im. lawrence is four under

par, and justice thomas on a bit of a charge as well. but the weather is starting to turn. —— justin thomas. that could make it trickier for those at the top of the leaderboard. shane lowry has a two—shot lead over dan brown and justin rose. lawrence beginning the tricky back nine. sam burns, im and russell henley under par, but it is shane lowry the man to catch, the 2019 champion from oil port loss, just one major to his name, he would dearly love to add to that. —— from royal portrush. today is moving day, as you say, it's about making a move up the leaderboard, but these conditions now are going to make that very challenging. we expect to see the leaderboard concertinaing up over the next few hours.—

leaderboard concertinaing up over the next few hours. the second innings of the second test is under way at trent bridge. england are batting and they've lost an early wicket. the west indies finished the first innings leading england by a1, all out for 457. england are 77—1, zak crawley the opener run out for just three. we will update you on the cricket throughout the day. england leading ljy throughout the day. england leading by 36. rafael nadal is into the final of the swedish 0pen after a three—set victory over croatia's duje ajdukovic. the spaniard is using the clay court tournament to build his fitness ahead of the olympic games and beat the croatian in three sets. it's his first atp final in over two years. helen glover is having an incredibly busy year. she's working hard to try and claim the top spot when she competes in the olympic games in paris. the two—time 0lympic rowing champion is supported by husband and tv nature presenter steve backshall,

who is passionate about using sport to promote environmental change. she admits herfamily are a big inspiration to her as she prepares to compete. 0ur reporter sarah dawkins caught up with the pair. i took a year out after tokyo, i was umming and ahhing. when i pictured there three little faces on the finish line, that did it for me. we are talking about the climate issue surrounding these games, you are incredibly passionate about the environment. why did you want to take part in this cycle and should we be worried about the impact on our environment, with heat, climate change? we should absolutely be worried. one of the things sport can do really well is amplify messages. british rowing have done an extraordinaryjob in recent years, we are talking about how important water quality is, now let's do the same for climate change. sport can speak to people across boundaries, from different

areas and different passions, it speaks to everyone. having the opportunity to get the most important existential threat to our species out there, via sport — what an opportunity. the six—time snooker world champion ray reardon has passed away at the age of 91. the former miner and police officer turned professional in 1967. he went on to dominate the sport in the 1970s as it became popular thanks to the advent of colour television and the bbc�*s pot black competition. after retiring from playing, he became a mentor to ronnie 0'sullivan, helping him win the world title in 200a. qualifying is due today for the hungarian grand prix. the red bull of sergio perez has

crashed, so they are removing the car. you can go to our website for the latest — bbc.com.sport members of the refugee olympic team have arrived in france ahead of this year's 0lympics as they prepare to go for gold at the summer games. it's the largest refugee team to date, made up of 37 atheletes, to date, made up of 37 athletes, and this will be the third consecutive olympic games to field the team. with me is our reporter meghan 0wen. this is the first time many of them are meeting? yeah, it's a bit of team bonding for them. we have to remember, there are 15 countries in this team, and 12 sports. so there is a huge variety of athletes, and this is a chance for them to do some pre—0lympic training together, to meet each other. in normandy for a pre—game is welcome. they then moved to paris to the olympic village and then they canjoin their host the olympic village and then they can join their host countries to train with them. there are a key

rising stars to look out for, including nagamba, a cameroon born boxer who moved to the uk aged 11, the refugee boxer in the olympics. we will also see the cycling sisters from afghanistan, and what makes their story so interesting, there is a ban on women playing sport in afghanistan, so they have defied the odds and made it to the olympics. let's listen to some of the other athletes competing as part of the team. ~ ., athletes competing as part of the team. ~ . ., ., team. we met and we are from different backgrounds. - team. we met and we are from | different backgrounds. different sports — different backgrounds. different sports. but yeah, it was really important _ sports. but yeah, it was really important. yeah, i hope we will inspire — important. yeah, i hope we will inspire other refugees and we want to make _ inspire other refugees and we want to make found this team. | inspire other refugees and we want to make found this team.— to make found this team. i want to prepare and _ to make found this team. i want to prepare and go _ to make found this team. i want to prepare and go and _ to make found this team. i want to prepare and go and run _ to make found this team. i want to prepare and go and run again, - to make found this team. i want to prepare and go and run again, to l prepare and go and run again, to improve— prepare and go and run again, to improve time, _ prepare and go and run again, to improve time, also— prepare and go and run again, to improve time, also to _ prepare and go and run again, to improve time, also to win, - prepare and go and run again, to improve time, also to win, to - prepare and go and run again, to| improve time, also to win, to get number_ improve time, also to win, to get number two — improve time, also to win, to get numbertwo and— improve time, also to win, to get number two and three _ improve time, also to win, to get number two and three and - improve time, also to win, to get

resilience and excellence. he also hopes this will help to inspire over 100 million people worldwide who have been displaced, and that, actually, you can still compete in the olympic games as a refugee. thank you very much, not long to wait until the games start. after weeks of protests across kenya, many are demanding the kenya president william ruto to resign. president william ruto was heavily criticised on 19th july for appointing six ministers from a cabinet he had sacked following weeks of deadly protests. an opposition leader said "a cabinet reorganisation will only be cosmetic" and activists online announced fresh protests to call for ruto's resignation. human rights groups had accused police of shooting dozens of protesters, some of them fatally, and abducting or arbitrarily arresting hundreds more. let's speak to francis 0ntwoma, a security correspondent at ktn news.

they are trying to mend things, especially talking about dialogue, using platforms such as x to reach out to generation z, who have been really agitated about the high cost of living, the question of unemployment, many other challenges the country is going through. tuesday, is a lot of promise... inaudible. we just lost you there, but i think we had enough of a signal to carry on, i think we can still hear you. remind us, the protest originally started, it was an issue of a potential new law to increase taxes that was scrapped, remind us of it. 0k, we may have lost the line. it looks like there was a bit of a problem unfortunately. just to mark your card, what we are

keeping across this hour, the outages and the fallout from the it failure. things are up and running and getting back to normal ish but still plenty of problems for travellers, keep up—to—date with the bbc live page. american singer bruce springsteen, significant moment for him, because he has officially reached billionaire status. that's according to forbes. the boss, as he's known, apparently worth $1.1 billion. this is after a 60 year career, 21 studio albums, seven live albums, five gps, selling over 140 million albums. —— five e ps. this is bbc news. hello. many of us are feeling the humidity today. it's 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 uk. you can see the rain earlier on, on the radar across western parts of scotland, moving through ireland, reaching western wales and also south—western england, but to the east, we have had dry weather. it was a beautiful start to the day. quite murky with all that humidity. this is a picture from norfolk. we'll keep dry weather the further east you are pretty much for the rest of the day. let's zoom into the details. this is what it looks like in the short term. extensive cloud in the south—west of england, outbreaks of rain, some could be heavy, temperatures hovering around 19 or 20 celsius. similarfor wales and the irish sea. but for london, across east anglia, into central england and yorkshire, hazier skies, dry for many, but there will be a few isolated storms so you may see lightning.

some sunshine for eastern parts of scotland but for the western isles, fresher conditions coming in after the passage of that cool front — 15 there in stornoway. and it will be relatively fresh in the west of the uk with some clear skies, but in the east, a lot of humidity, so temperatures in london, norwich and hull will be around 17 or 18 degrees first thing on sunday. not quite so warm and humid out towards the west. that means lots of sunshine towards the west. but then this little weather front moves in and drifts in cloud and some 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 20s. how about early next week? weather fronts are moving in but then we have a ridge of high pressure, so that means more settled conditions. any weather fronts will be

generally weak and brushing north—western parts of the uk, so it is a bit of a mixed bag depending on where you are, but overall, it is actually not looking bad at all and those temperatures are around average for the time of year. that's it from me. bye—bye.
