us presidentjoe biden says he's looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week, despite growing pressure to step aside. microsoft admits friday's tech outage affected more than eight million devices and there are warnings criminals might try to exploit the chaos. israeli fighter jets strike houthi military targets in yemen in response to attacks on israel in recent months. hello, i'm sophie long. former us president donald trump has given his first campaign speech since surviving an attempt on his life a week ago. he spoke for more than 100 minutes to a crowd in grand rapids, michigan, in an address that included attacks on his democratic party rivals. he spoke about the assassination attempt

as something he survived "by the grace of god" while denying claims he destroying democracy. and they keep saying he's a threat to democracy. i'm saying, what the hell did i do for democracy? last week i took a bullet for democracy. applause what did i do against democracy? crazy. thousands of supporters gathered to hear the former president's speech, with a queue stretching for miles outside the arena. it took place at an indoor venue, after a lapse of security at last week's outdoor rally allowed a gunman to fire from less than 150 metres. as the investigation into that shooting continues, the new york times and washington post are both reporting tonight, that the secret service is acknowledging having previously denied requests for additional federal resources for donald trump's security team. the secret service director is due to to testify in front of congress on monday. in michigan, trump was introduced to thousands of cheering supporters

by his new running mate, the ohio senatorjd vance, who earlier took aim at his democratic party rival, vice president kamala harris. our senior north america correspondent, gary o'donoghue, was at that pennsylvania rally last week where the former president was shot. he was also inside the arena for us tonight at trump's speech in michigan, and filed this report. a week to the day after he was shot by an assassin, donald trump is back on the election campaign trail. almost two hours on his feet, attacking migrants, attacking the media, attacking joe biden for the way he walks, for the way he talks, attacking his iq. the crowd responded with huge cheers practically every sentence. thousands were left outside. if you expected unity to come after that assassination attempt, then you'll be waiting a long time, because donald trump is singing the old songs and his supporters love it.

this will be a moment the democrats will worry about. they remain divided, they remain unsure about joe biden as their candidate, and while they're that, they can't take on donald trump and thejuggernaut of his campaign. let's take a look at some of the main points donald trump made at the rally this evening. he said he disavows the right—wing project that encourages extreme reforms to the federal government known as the project 2025 dossier created by the heritage foundation. trump said he doesn't know what the project is, though dozens of his former campaign officials are known to be working on it. he called chinese leader xijinping a "brilliant man" who makes biden "look like a baby". he also praised hungary's leader, victor orban. trump heaped praise on elon musk who's committing m5 million a month to his re—election bid. he repeated a false claim that he once won an award for �*michigan man of the year', something that's been debunked.

he vowed to carry out the largest deportation of migrants in us history. he repeated a joke likening migrants to the fictional serial killer hannibal lecter. he called nancy pelosi "crazy as a bedbug". he said vice president kamala harris was "crazy" and "nuts" and that he'd rather run against her than biden. and he cast doubt on the integrity of the election system, claiming without evidence that people are "shovelling ballots into wheelbarrows" in georgia, a state which trump lost in 2020. meanwhile, presidentjoe biden says he's looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week after being isolated with covid. however, pressure is growing on the president to quit his run for re—election. on friday, 10 house democrats and two senate democrats told biden publicly it was time to pass the torch. transportation providers, businesses,

governments and hospitals are rushing to get their systems back online today, after disruptions following a widespread technology outage. microsoft says that the it chaos, caused by a flawed cybersecurity update affected 8.5 million windows devices. the glitch came from an update rolled out by the cybersecurity firm crowdstrike. travellers across the world continue to face disruption as airlines try to recover. thousands of flights were cancelled on friday, and flight—tracking services list at least 25,000 current flight delays. 0ur eechnology editor, zoe kleinman, has more. 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 was coming out of my aeroplane, and i've been stranded for around —

over 2a hours by now, i think. i've been on my feet for four days by now, i think, and 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. we can offer a turn—up—and—go service down here. what we do ask you to do on the busy days is please book before you come. so if you book before you come, and then we can anticipate when you're going to arrive, that helps us with everything. 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 how

the interaction has been with patients because, obviously, those electronic prescriptions and that sort of more seamless service hasn't been available. and then personally, i've 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 software update, but it was only microsoft—powered computers which crashed. there are also the companies themselves, who don't seem to have had backup 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. israel lauched a series of retaliatory airstrikes on sites in yemen linked to the houthi movement. it's israel's first direct attack on the group following a string of attacks by the iran—backed militia. israeli fighterjets hit oil and gas facilities on the red sea port of hudaydah on saturday evening. it comes just a day after a residential area in tel aviv was hit by what israel claims was an iranian—made drone, which had been modified to fly long distance. in a televised address israel's prime minister said: "anyone who harms us will pay a very heavy price for their aggression." a spokesman for the houthis vowed to respond to what they described as brutal agression from israel. a houthi—run tv channel in yemen reports at least three people were killed and more than 80 injured in the israeli raid.

0ur diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, sent this update from jerusalem. this is the first time the israelis have retaliated against the houthis in yemen, following months and months of houthi attacks directed towards israel. the israelis say as many as 220 separate drones and ballistic missiles have been fired towards israel in the last nine months. none of those really did very much damage and none of them killed anyone. that, of course, all changed in the early hours of friday morning, when a drone somehow made its way through israel's air defences, landed right in the middle of tel aviv, close to the american embassy, and killed one civilian. it was absolutely clear following that incident that israel would retaliate, and they have done so quickly. as for the choice of target, well, hitting the port city

of houdaydah, a port which israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, this evening said is not an innocent port — it's the place where israelis believe the houthis bring in weapons smuggled from iran — but also hitting these oil storage tanks and setting off this vast inferno, with huge flames leaping up into the sky and a vast black cloud drifting over the city, i think was designed to send a very symbolic, emphatic message around the region. in fact, israel's defence minister, yoav gallant, essentially said that — a message to israel's opponents around the region that israel will not hesitate to launch attacks, even as far away as distant yemen, if israeli lives are at stake. we have had repeated moments over the past nine or ten months at which the war in gaza has threatened to spill over into some wider conflict. the main one, of course, among those various other fronts is lebanon, where israel and the hezbollah militia, also supported by iran,

continue to wage sometimes very ferocious fighting, and yemen has been part of this wider regional dimension too. do the latest tit—for—tat exchanges between israel and yemen amount to a new escalation? well, we'll see. probably not, but it's worth remembering that the americans and british have been mounting similar air strikes against the houthis for months now and none of that has so far deterred them. paul adams reporting from jerusalem. evan gershkovich is now serving a 16—year sentence in a russian prison — the first american journalist to be convicted of spying since the end of the cold war. evan's employer, the wall streetjournal, evan's family, and the white house all deny the charges. his conviction comes at a time of extreme media restrictions in russia, especially on foreign reporters. the committee

to protectjournalists names russia among the worstjailers ofjournalists globally. of the 17 foreign reporters injail worldwide, 12 are held in russia, including evan another us journalist. press freedom groups are pushing the us to do more to bring them home. the us government has designated evan as wrongfully detained, meaning it can take special measures to push for his release. evan's family and employer are in the meantime running media campaigns to raise awareness of his plight. peter greste was detained for 13 months while working as a journalist in egypt, and now is the executive director at the alliance forjournalists freedom. he told me he's reasonably hopeful evan will be released. unfortunately you do have direct experience of what extended confinement with an uncertain future can feel like. can you just give us a sense of what might have been going through evan's mind when he heard that verdict come down?

i mean, there's no real easy way of preparing for this. i think the evidence is pretty clear that it was always going to be a conviction. the conviction rate in russia is about 99.5%, so it was always highly unlikely that it was ever going to be any other outcome. but it's always still a very, very difficult thing to hear that sentence, and to have to shift your brain into thinking for a much longer term than you might have originally hoped. having said that, i think evan will also be very aware of the campaign to get him out. there is a huge international support for him, both from governments and press freedom groups like my own, and individuals around the world, and i think that makes a big difference to your ability to cope with these kinds of situations psychologically. so he will be aware of the efforts to get him out and bring him home. we've heard that the biden administration have said it's a top priority. he will be aware of that, will he? yes, almost certainly he'll be aware of it. i mean, he'll be getting

consular visits and messages from friends and family and so on. i believe that the communication is very restricted but that he is getting some messages, so he'll be aware of it. but even then, the prison grapevine flows reasonably freely. it is incredibly important that we keep up the pressure, notjust for evan's psychology, of course, but also to keep up the pressure on the russians to try to and get him out. because the secret to ending these kinds of situations is to make the price of keeping someone like evan higher than the value that they present to them as a prisoner, as a detainee. your release came after a co—ordinated international campaign headed up by family and colleagues. we see the same thing happening now. how hopeful are you that evan's situation will be resolved, and in a reasonable timeframe? i am reasonably hopeful. the russian government and president putin himself have hinted that a prisoner exchange is the most likely outcome.

it's happened before, and the united states has also been involved in prisoner exchanges. we also know that there is a russian detainee, a russian prisoner, who's serving time in berlin in a germanjailfor the assassination of a chechen rebel in berlin a few years ago, and he seems to be the most likely candidate for some kind of prisoner exchange. there's also indications that negotiations are moving forward. evan's trial was brought forward by about a month at the request of the defence lawyers, and so it looks as though that may be — and i don't want to pre—empt anything, but it's possible that may be related to some sort of prisoner exchange. either way, as i said, the whole point is to make sure that we keep up the pressure on the russian authorities, notjust as individuals or as press freedom groups, but from all quarters. the russians will be sensitive. even though they've indicated or they suggest that they're not, they will be sensitive to international public opinion. they want the respect of the global community. they want people to have

some kind of confidence in the judicial system, even though it seems completely contrived and a tool of the kremlin. but as long as we keep up the social media pressure, the diplomatic pressure, the political pressure, the economic pressure, then i think there is a reasonable chance that we can get evan out. separate events were held in cyprus on saturday, to mark the 50th anniversary of turkey's invasion of the island. a sombre memorial was held in the south of the divided island, where greek cypriots mourned those lost in 197a. greek prime minister kyriakos mitsotakis described the invasion as barbaric. in the north, turkish cypriots held a parade to celebrate turkey's capture of more than a third of the island. while greece and turkey are diplomatic partners to an extent, both are at odds over numerous issues, including reunification. in his visit to the island

for the parade,turkey�*s president recep tayyip erdogan said there is little point holding talks on that goal. translation: we cannot get anywhere by ignoring - the realities on the island. we believe that a federal solution in cyprus is not possible. president of cyprus nikos christodoulides expressed openness to ending the division of the island. translation: our mission is the liberation, _ reunification and solution of the cyprus problem. if we really want to send a message on this tragic anniversary, and really honour all those who sacrificed themselves in order for us to exist today, it is to do anything possible to reunite our homeland. recent heatwaves in the united states have shattered records with more than 50 cities nationwide setting all time highs in earlyjuly. as climate change impacts communities across the country, one program in california is taking action.

the california climate action corps pays residents to help prepare the state, planting trees, reducing food waste and preventing wildfires. since 2020, nearly one thousand californians have completed the fellowship program. it's also inspired the american climate corps, launched by the white house this summer. for more, my colleague, carl nasman, spoke with california's chief service officer, josh fryday, and climate corps fellowjulia gallaway. josh, ijust want to start with you. i think that there is this feeling sometimes with a lot of people that there isn't much that us normal folk can do when it comes to climate change. how does this programme in california help citizens take meaningful action? it's why we created the climate corps. it's why governor newsom wanted to lead on this issue. we created climate corps to empower and engage all californians and help us tackle the existential crisis of our time.

and in a place like california, where climate change is not academic — it's not something that's going to happen in the future, it's happening to us now — we knew that in addition to leading on big policy, we also had to mobilise our most important asset, which is the nearly a0 million people that call california home. and that's exactly what our climate corps has done since we started. yes, california really is a state that's on the front lines of climate change. julia, you're one of more than 300 fellows in this programme, mostly young people. you're in the middle of your ii—month fellowship. what has that experience looked like for you? what are the sorts of projects that you've been working on? it's been fantastic. i've been able to try so many different things since i've been here. so i work at the county of san diego department of public works in solid waste planning and recycling, as well as the department of parks and recreation. just between both of those departments, i've been able to do all sorts of creative exploration.

so with the public works side, i work closely with the state policies such as senate bill sb 1383. in that, i get to go out on site visits. i talk to local businesses, i talk to multi—family complexes, i talk to residents, and help them figure out how to manage theirwaste, especially their organic waste, and that's the big priority right now. and that's a state bill, i believe, that would mandate composting across the state. is that right? correct, its goal is to reduce the short—lived climate pollutants such as methane and carbon dioxide and nitrous gases. and so with this one, it's now requiring you to have all three waste streams, and we go out there and make sure everyone is doing just that. we also focus on what i think is the really unique aspect of sb 1383, which is the food recovery component, and that one sets a target for 20% of any edible food surplus

to be recovered for human consumption across the state. wow. i think that's so unique for any sort of bill that just does dual tasks and helps the community even more. and, josh, we're seeing so much now the effects of climate change, of course, across the world, but specifically in many us states. do you that this programme could be replicated to help other parts of the us start to adapt and start to prepare for the effects of global warming? well, we are seeing it replicated. the climate corps has already spread to several other states across our country, and recently president biden announced the creation of the american climate corps, so we are seeing this model work. whatjulia described in her work exemplifies the power of climate corps — that she is able to notjust tackle climate change in a real way, but she is able to provide capacity for the state of california, for the county that she works in. and most importantly, in doing her work,

she is engaging literally thousands of members of the community to also be part of the solution. and it's a model that's empowering and inspiring, and it's working, and it's why we're seeing it's started to spread across the country. julia, when you're out there doing your fellowship, what are people telling you? when you interact with the community, what are people saying? people are asking all sorts of questions. they really want to understand why we're out there and what we're doing. they're very excited when they hear about california climate action corps, because they never knew it was a possibility. just to have such a focus on it — i think a lot of my work is learning how to communicate with different individuals, as well, and just finding how people learn and listen. it's all about the outreach at this point, getting people involved. josh, we've seen this big federal investment, haven't we, in green technology — in getting the country ready for climate change with the inflation reduction act. there is an element here, isn't there, of beginning to train people to take on those green jobs as we move into the future.

it's a huge part of this, and we're seeing it happen now. it's one of the real success stories of climate corps that we're helping train the future workforce for a green and sustainable economy. and we're doing it in a real way, with the president creating the american climate corps and creating access to trainings and apprenticeships. what we're doing with climate corps is preparing for a future economy. and julia is a perfect example, where she's providing real capacity and support to the local community, san diego here in california, to help us prepare as a society. and we think we're just getting started. julia, i know you recently graduated from university. what comes next for you, and how do you think that this programme will help maybe prepare you for the future? well, i can say i'm feeling quite prepared to take on the world post—fellowship. i think that being this fellow, i've become very well—rounded

as a professional, and having the space to figure out what i like and what i'm good at. i am not only supported by my supervisors in professional development, but i've been encouraged to learn so many tasks. so i've done excel work, i've done the public outreach and education, i've done things to our uac systems. i've been able to do that through this programme. so for me, with all that being said, i am definitely ready to join the workforce, and excited because there are so many positions out there now, especially in california. i'll be applying forjobs and looking at graduate programmes to apply to and see what happens next. josh, the last word here to you. what do you tell other states who are looking to maybe implement something similar? when you have those kinds of conversations, how do they go? well, climate corps is a win—win—win. it's a win to be part of a group of people who get to solve this existential

crisis and get the training and build all the confidence that we heard from julia today. it's a win for our society and our communities, where our climate corps members are doing really important work to make our community sustainable and green. and it's a win for our country as we get to prepare the future workforce of our nation to be prepared to take on this existential crisis. so it's a win—win—win for everyone, and that's why we have seen it be so successful here in california, and it's why we're also seeing it be successful as we start to spread it across the country. stay with us here on bbc news. we'll have more news at the top of the hour, and you can get all the latest news on our website — bbc.com/news. hello there. well, saturday saw some more sunshine towards eastern england in particular. it was warm and humid still here, with some

of our temperatures rising again into the high 20s in celsius, whereas further west, it was a wetter story. plenty of thick clouds, fresher—feeling conditions developing here. we're all coming into that cooler—feeling air as we head through sunday. there'll still be some sunshine around for most of us at times, but also some wet weather in the form of showers. and overnight tonight, we've been seeing some rain move northwards and eastwards, showers following on behind. most of the rain by dawn on sunday will be across the northern isles. still that hang—back of cloud towards eastern england, and still that warm, muggy—feeling air. temperatures 16—18 celsius to start off the morning. now, many of us will get off to a sunny start to the day, but cloud will thicken as we head through the late morning into the afternoon, mostly from the west. and there'll be a scattering of showers for western stretches of the uk as well, with heavier rain moving into northern ireland later on through the afternoon, eventually to south—west scotland. temperatures will be more or less the seasonal average, 16—23 degrees celsius, so quite a drop for eastern

areas of england in particular. staying in that cooler air on monday, a whole host of weather fronts bringing some more wet and some windy weather at times too. most of the rain will tend to be out towards the north and west. a few sharp, thundery showers across scotland. down through north—west england, a scattering of showers, but also some sunny spells for northern ireland. and it's blustery in the south, with a brisk westerly wind, a few isolated showers, but also some sunshine. the sunshine will help to boost the temperature, perhaps, for south—east england. we could see 2a or 25 degrees in the best of that. and then on tuesday, high pressure starts to build in, so the sunshine will be making a return across pretty much the whole of the uk. a few showers to start off the day and a few isolated showers developing as we head through the middle part of the day as well. more of a north—westerly wind, so it's quite a cool wind direction. but temperatures will be boosted by the sunshine,

so rising a little higher again as we head through the day on tuesday. the high pressure, too, lasting into wednesday. so if we take a look at our outlook for the capital cities as we head through the rest of the week, its warm and it's mostly dry again on wednesday. temperatures rising a little further, but more showers on thursday and friday. bye— bye.
