we face recruiting and retaining doctors and nurses and teachers as well, but we will do it in a proper way and make sure that the sums add up. bangladesh's top court scraps most of the quotas on governmentjobs which triggered nationwide riots. israel says it has intercepted a missile launched from yemen after the israeli air force carried out a series of strikes in the country. and close but no cigar: south sudan's basketball team just seconds away from an upset victory against the united states. hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. the chancellor rachel reeves says the uk government will "make sure the sums add up" before agreeing to fund a recommended 5.5% pay increase to teachers and nhs staff. the above inflation rise has been recommended by independent pay review bodies. here's our political

correspondent tony bonsignore. it's a decision that will affect millions of teachers and nhs workers: whether to accept the independent recommendation of pay review bodies and give them a pay rise of 5.5%, or offer a more modest increase and risk disappointing millions of labour voters, as well as potentially more industrial action. today, in herfirst big interview since the election, rachel reeves dropped a big hint that above—inflation rises for public sector workers are on the way. we also know that there is a cost to not settling, a cost of further industrial action, a cost in terms of the challenge that we face in recruiting and retaining doctors and nurses and teachers as well. but we'll do it in a proper way and make sure that the sums add up. but those sums, she said, had to take into account the economy the new government had inherited. well, we've also seen just this week the government borrowing numbers,

which are significantly higher than people had anticipated. and that goes to the real, true extent of the public finances and the public spending pressures. we also saw labour market data: unemployment up, economic inactivity up. so i really don't buy this idea that somehow we've been handed a golden inheritance. that claim has angered the conservatives, still reeling from their election defeat. they claim it's merely labour preparing the ground for future tax rises. what is absolute nonsense is this business of the worst economic inheritance since the second world wan _ i mean, you only need to look at the last time a government changed hands between parties in 2010. compared to then, inflation is nearly half what it was. we then we had markets collapsing. now we have the fastest growth in the g7. we have unemployment nearly half what it was then.

it's a very transformed picture. economists, though, say that higher pay for nhs workers and teachers will have an impact. 5.5% pay rises for millionsi of workers is above what's been budgeted for. it's above what's built - into existing spending plans. so it leaves the treasury having to find several billion pounds i from somewhere to make up the gap. now, that would probably mean some combination of high taxes _ or higher borrowing, - or perhaps cuts to something else, but it wouldn't be i an easy decision to make. rachel reeves has promised that decisions on public sector pay will be made before mps rise for the summer recess at the end of this month. but it's clear that even tougher decisions lie ahead in the autumn. the supreme court in bangladesh has scrapped most of the quotas on governmentjobs, that have triggered widespread anti—government protests in which more than 110 people were killed. meanwhile, a nationwide curfew has been extended and the government has declared sunday and monday public holidays.

security forces used live rounds, rubber bullets and tear—gas against protesters who defied the curfew and blocked roads at least one group of students that they won't stop protesting until the government issues a notice that reflects their demand. a minister speaking to the police service a short while ago has said they will implement the ruling of the supreme court as early as tuesday. as you said, today and monday our holidays in bangladesh so the earliest they can do that is tuesday. but very little information is trickling in from bangladesh at the moment. there

is a near communication blackout, an internet shutdown and even trying to make regular phone calls is extremely difficult, the line is patchy. texts are also not really going through. on the streets their armoured vehicles, soldiers, the military deployed to control the situation, helicopters surveilling the situation from the air. as far as we know today they have not been any significant incidents of violence but given all of that and the nationwide curfew, bangladesh is using all of its might to bring the situation under control.— using all of its might to bring the situation under control. remind us how we got — situation under control. remind us how we got the — situation under control. remind us how we got the situation. - situation under control. remind us how we got the situation. the - how we got the situation. the rotests how we got the situation. the protests are _ how we got the situation. tie: protests are about how we got the situation. tte: protests are about a how we got the situation. tt2 protests are about a 30% reservation in governmentjobs for the families or descendants of those who fought in the bangladesh war of

independence from pakistan in 1971. today what the supreme court has done is say it should be no more than 5% and 5% should be reserved for the families of veterans. what started really is a protest from a single university in data spread across the country. —— data. they cruise the president of making derogatory comments and accuse security forces of a brutal crackdown. they said the attacks and student protesters are shocking and unacceptable. it's difficult to say whether that anger can be brought under control is more than 100 people have been killed in the violence. we will find out in the hours and days to come. israel's military says its air defence system has intercepted a missile fired from yemen before it could enter israeli airspace over the southern region of eilat. the attack comes after israeli fighterjets carried out air strikes on saturday on on the houthi controlled port

of hodeidah in yemen. the reuters news agency reports that six were killed and dozens injured — when israel struck oil storage facilities and a power plant. it's the first time israel has responded directly to what it says have been hundreds of yemeni drones and missiles aimed at its territory. i'm joined now by independent yemen analyst, hannah porter. thank you. what you make of the latest strikes?— latest strikes? well, the israeli strikes on _ latest strikes? well, the israeli strikes on houthi _ latest strikes? well, the israeli strikes on houthi held - latest strikes? well, the israeli. strikes on houthi held territories latest strikes? well, the israeli i strikes on houthi held territories i don't think will have positive outcomes for israel, certainly since january we have seen the us and uk have been attempting to degrade houthis�* military capabilities to prevent them from carrying out further attacks on ships in the red sea. those efforts to degrade their capabilities have so far failed as we have recently seen an uptick in

attacks. likewise, the houthi attacks. likewise, the houthi attacks on israel and recent varna which inflicted casualties is certainly a huge escalation for the region in general but a huge success for the houthis. this is a big win for the houthis. this is a big win for them politically and in terms of their messaging and has the potential to boost their popularity locally, regionally and potentially internationally.— internationally. given that's how the view internationally. given that's how they view it. _ internationally. given that's how they view it, could _ internationally. given that's how they view it, could this - internationally. given that's how they view it, could this lead - internationally. given that's how they view it, could this lead to i they view it, could this lead to further escalation?— they view it, could this lead to further escalation? yes, it likely well. an extremely _ further escalation? yes, it likely well. an extremely unlikely - further escalation? yes, it likely. well. an extremely unlikely these strikes conducted by israel or us or uk will deter the houthis. it will be quite the opposite. houthis will be quite the opposite. houthis will be emboldened to carry out further attacks. we have already seen evidence of this.— attacks. we have already seen evidence of this. doesn't it seem that it may _ evidence of this. doesn't it seem that it may not — evidence of this. doesn't it seem that it may not be _ evidence of this. doesn't it seem that it may not be in _ evidence of this. doesn't it seem that it may not be in particular i that it may not be in particular israel's interest to escalate this any further? it

the us, uk and israel rather than houthi government which is the latter of which is the case. it serves them well and is hard to see how it benefits israel at all. donald trump has told a campaign rally in michigan that he is not a threat to democracy, saying he took a bullet for democracy — a reference to the failed assassination attempt against him last saturday. addressing thousands of republican supporters, mr trump said he was sure he'd win the presidential election in november. he repeatedly mocked joe biden, saying the democratic party still did not know who its candidate would be in november due to concerns over the president's health. our correspondent, jenny kumah, reports. thousands turned out for this first rally since the shooting. security checks meant long waits, but many were determined to show their support. after what happened last week, i hadn't planned on attending a rally this year cos i've been to so many in the 2016 and 2020 election, but i'm here to show

solidarity with trump — that we do stand behind him, and so long as he stays in the fight, we're going to stand behind him. oh, he's ba... he's bigger and better than ever. no, no, we love him and i think he really, really, gelled the country, brought us together. # i know i'm free... a few days ago, after his near—death experience, donald trump called for unity in the country. yet, within minutes of speaking at the rally, he attacked his rival. but what they do is misinformation and disinformation, 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." cheering. what did i do against democracy? it felt like a pop concert. the former president continued to sing the old songs — attacking the media, migrants, and joe biden. the crowd cheered. at this very moment, democrat party bosses are frantically trying to overthrow the results of their own party's primaries to dump crooked joe biden from the ballot. couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

laughter. the republicans say their party is the most united it's been for decades, and they say that contrasts with the democrats as questions continue over the future ofjoe biden in the presidential race. nearly three dozen democrats have called for mr biden to withdraw. the president says he'll continue to campaign next week, after isolating with covid. he insists he's staying in the race to win it. jenny kumah, bbc news, michigan. microsoft says that the it chaos caused by a flawed update rolled out by the cybersecurity firm crowdstrike affected 8 and a half million windows devices. it added that some were used by enterprises which run �*many critical services.�* travellers across the world continue to face disruption as airlines try to recover. over 9,000 flights have been cancelled worldwide since friday. the software failure also affected retail systems and health care, with problems for gps and pharmacies.

nhs england has warned the disruption may continue next week — and that while systems had been restored, there would be a backlog of appointments. cyber security expert and chief strategy officer at cyber cx, alastair macgibbon, explained the fallout from this global outage and what it will mean going forward. well, just to put this in context, this is a crowdstrike issue, not a microsoft issue. what happened is crowdstrike pushed out an update to its systems that only impacted microsoft systems. but as to how restoration is going, good progress, but it will still take time. so it would appear that the majority of key systems run by organisations around the world are back up and running, but it will take time because it teams physically pretty much need to get to each of these affected systems to reboot them, so that will take time. one of the values that crowdstrike falcon brings the product in question is that it has such a large install base because that gives them better visibility and therefore, theoretically at least, they can stop a lot more cyber risks. that, of course, when something goes wrong, creates a bigger problem for more companies in more countries. but i'm not sure if there's a solution.

the reality is it's a successful company. it's installed in a lot of organisations that run critical, uh, critical services for all of our economies. and in this instance, it was a technology failure rather than a malicious act. but it does highlight, of course, our reliance upon a whole range of software providers, obviously, in a very unfortunate way, will give lots of learnings to companies beyond crowdstrike. but anyone else that produces software to double check, triple check in, uh, in lots of controlled ways before they release this type of software. now it's time for a look

at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. the leaders have teed off for theirfinal round of the open — billy horschel started the day top of the leaderboard, but there are six players just a shot behind the american after three rounds plagued by difficult weather at royal troon. let's head there now to speak to ben croucher who's there for us, — keeping an eye on the weather of course, but ben, this could be anyone's? justin rose is the new leader of the open championship, we always wonder what separates us from the very best golfers in the world while aside from a few million in the bank and an ability to whack the ball, sometimes it's about here, the mentality, how you will respond to winning your first major winning yourfirst major championship, how you would deal with the nerves and check conditions. viruses made the —— rose has given us the answer already. he

is playing in his 21st open championship and said winning would be a childhood dream. billy horschel birdied his very first hole was handed a shot back after flying a bunker with his t—shirt. triston lawrence has made a part verdi and jon rahm started six—pack with a deficit that has been halved. don't rule him out or shane lowry to sit to under par. there were moments of magic already in the final round with the leaderboard as congested as it is, still anyone's to win but justin rose is the man to catch. joe root has passed his century for england as they build a convincing lead over the west indies in the second test. joe root has reached his 32nd test century for england, helping them build a convincing lead over the west indies in the second test. root eventually went for 122, leaving the field at trent bridge to a standing ovation.

he was helped initially by a good partnership with harry brook who also got his century. england lost ben stokes and jamie smith just before lunch but they have just been bowled out for 425. the west indies need 385 to win and level the series. lionel messi hobbled onto the field in a protective boot as his club, inter miami, celebrated his 45th major title — last week's copa america title defence. messi hurt his ankle and was forced off in argentina's 1—0 win over colombia in the final. he is out indefinitely with the injury. mls meanwhile is now on a month—long hiatus for the leagues cup. inter miami, which leads the standings at the break, will host fc cincinnati on august the 24th when play resumes. not long until the start of the paris olympics, but australia's chef de mission says the team are trying to replace the missing luggage of the matildas'

soccer team ahead of their paris debut in four days' time. anna meares says they are having to find medical equipment like tape, scissors and massage tables that got lost after they took a private jet from spain's marbella to marseille. the australian olympic chief told reporters that football australia decided to hire a chartered flight to try to avoid those issues, but unfortunately, some bags still got lost. the matildas arrive in paris after a run of 1a sold—out matches in their home nation. the longest rowing boat in the world is taking part in the olympic torch relay on sunday, in the lead up to the games. the maximum rowers in competitions is eight, but this one takes 2a people on board. as it is 40 metres in length, the boat comes in six pieces to be assembled to form one very long rowing boat. don't forget, you can follow the hungarian grand prix and also the last day of the tour de france

live now on the bbc sport website. the south sudan basketball team has fallen painfully short of a historic upset, going down byjust one point to team usa in a thrilling friendly match in london. south sudan — ranked 33rd in the world — were leading for much of the game, but a basket by lebronjames in the final seconds secured the win for the us — 101-100. both teams are preparing to compete in the paris olympics next week. let's speak to isaac fanin from bbc sport who was at the game. isaac, i gather you were at the game. what an extraordinary match it was. talk us through it. it game. what an extraordinary match it was. talk us through it.— was. talk us through it. it was sensational. _ was. talk us through it. it was sensational. i _ was. talk us through it. it was sensational. i was _ was. talk us through it. it was sensational. i was reporting i was. talk us through it. it was | sensational. i was reporting for was. talk us through it. it was - sensational. i was reporting for the

new state programme and was speaking to south sudan fans before the game and there was a lot of hype but no real expectation, just pride that this country which hadn't existed 13 years ago was going to be replaying at this tournament against such a tight in the us and many thought the us would absolutely roll over south sudan but they put in a sensational performance, finding their scoring stroke. their point guard really controlled everything and it became so close, the fact they with 1a points clear at half—time was insane and i was sat near the us bench and you could see these superstars, lebronjames, walking back to the locker room with a look of shock on their face that they were losing and

if south sudan had been able to carry on and get this win, it would have been the greatest shock not just in basketball history but sport history. lebronjames, one of the greatest of all time, showed why he is the best. he led from the front, 39 years old, he is a marvel and the reason why south sudan were able to get that mag weren't able to get victory yesterday. flan get that mag weren't able to get victory yesterday.— victory yesterday. can we read an hinu victory yesterday. can we read anything into _ victory yesterday. can we read anything into the _ victory yesterday. can we read anything into the olympics? . victory yesterday. can we read l anything into the olympics? will questions be asked now by the us team? t questions be asked now by the us team? ., �* ~' questions be asked now by the us team? ., �* ~' , questions be asked now by the us team? ., �* ~ , , team? i don't think so. they play germany on _ team? i don't think so. they play germany on monday _ team? i don't think so. they play germany on monday evening - team? i don't think so. they play germany on monday evening but| team? i don't think so. they play - germany on monday evening but that will be a test. germany knocked them out of the cup last year which was a big surprise but this time round, they have lots of really big name

players, a number of big names in star players, 12 players who are all nba players and then at the top of the game. lebronjames has won olympic titles multiple times. they will be the stone cold favourites. i don't think there's a need to look at. the coach the blame and said he didn't prepare the blame dam acting properly. so south sudan will definitely be a team to watch. more now on donald trump telling a campaign rally in michigan that he is not a threat to democracy, saying he took a bullet for democracy — a reference to the failed assassination attempt against him last saturday. let's speak to rina shah who is a political analyst, former senior republican aide.

not the very things he said he was even a few weeks ago. let’s not the very things he said he was even a few weeks ago. let's explore that, this idea _ even a few weeks ago. let's explore that, this idea that _ even a few weeks ago. let's explore that, this idea that at _ even a few weeks ago. let's explore that, this idea that at these - that, this idea that at these rallies, who do you think he is appealing to? is that the fans there? i say fans because sometimes there? i say fans because sometimes the atmosphere really is like that. or is he wasting an opportunity and these rallies aren't appealing to a broader base? what you think the strategy is?— strategy is? grievance politics rules the day _ strategy is? grievance politics rules the day here. _ strategy is? grievance politics rules the day here. our- strategy is? grievance politicsl rules the day here. our politics strategy is? grievance politics . rules the day here. our politics is entirely kerala them are characterised by that and we've seen lots of people on the right expressing frustration with the past four years. expressing frustration with the past fouryears. people expressing frustration with the past four years. people tend to forget that in this recovery post—pandemic era, the policies of the biden administration will try to cool the impact of inflation on our daily lives. have they been fully successful in black and white, yes, but the feeling of our economy, the

general malaise around how our system functions is what is turning people away from showing up at rallies. what you see are the most ardent and fervent supporters of trump and they haven't been that many. they are dwindling in size. yesterday's rally was different, 12,000 people at an arena showing up because of the monumental event of last week. that assassination attempt. people are fascinated to see how trump behaves now, they wanted to see him in person but it was really largely the same rambling, incoherent talk, not giving solutions and not fighting back at the biden administration on substance. . ~' , ., hello. for most of us, the weather's pleasant enough today, a little cloudy in some areas, but wherever you are, the chances are that there will be at least some sunshine today. and so far, the best of the sun's

been across northern and eastern parts of the country. if you look at the satellite picture earlier, clearerskies in eastern scotland, also around yorkshire and lincolnshire. but even here, clouds have been developing through the course of the day. so what have we got? a gentle breeze blowing out of the southwest, pushing in some thicker cloud across ireland. that might mean some rain for belfast this evening and overnight, but elsewhere it's a case of sunnier moments, cloudier moments, the odd shower and temperatures pleasant enough, high teens, low 20s. now here's that small weather system that will be moving through ireland and into the irish sea, and eventually it'll end up around northern england and southern scotland, also affecting parts of wales. so damp weather early in the morning it's relatively mild. 15 in london, a little bit colder there in the north of scotland, perhaps single figures. so tomorrow it's fairly cloudy and damp, at least for a time in parts of scotland. elsewhere it's a day of prolonged spells of sunshine, occasional showers and actually quite brisk winds. so if you're in the south and the southwest, those winds

will be quite gusty, particularly close to the coast and the temperatures around the low to perhaps mid 20s. and that small area of low pressure and its weather front moves to the east. and we see this bump in the high pressure. this is what's called a ridge of high pressure. so where the air is generally sinking and what we typically find is fair weather clouds, just the odd shower on the edge. but for the bulk of the uk, a fine day. the temperatures could be a little bit high. we might even reach 25 degrees on tuesday. so let's have a look at the outlook then, because it does look as though at least the computer models are pointing to high pressure becoming more dominant towards the end of the month. and when we see high pressure during the summer months, that means much warmer, drierweather. and in fact, if we scan our apps and you look at the forecast even beyond this coming weekend, you should be able to see those fair weather symbols and perhaps those temperatures starting to creep up.

so perhaps a sign things are settling down.
