you can see in the background are so excited. earlier, about two hours ago, we waved off the rowing team. this is team gb�*s athletics team and they are super excited. i want to introduce you to some of them. here is gemma. gemma, this isn't yourfirst 0lympics but how excited are you? i'm so excited to experience the paris 0lympics because i went to tokyo and there were no crowds or anything, so i'm excited to go out there and experience a big 0lympics. and when you walked through the station, how were you greeted? oh, it was so special. i almost cried, actually. it was a very emotional day. i think everyone makes it so special. and it's itjust makes the send—off so much better. this is your first 0lympics. so how are you feeling? what are you expecting? i'm so, so, so excited. i think this will be a similar feeling to london. i think it's the closest olympic experience we're going to get with tokyo and rio, not being quite what people expected. so i think we're really excited to experience the village. fantastic. you've done something a little bit special, have you not? i got the olympic rings

tattooed on my waist. i that was, that was it was straight after the tokyo olympics. - i think you'll find a lot of— olympians with the olympic tattoo. and it'sjust something that, - you know, it's such a unique club to be a part of, and i wanted it sort of branded on me. - well, i can understand. how have you prepared for today? i think it's been such. a whirlwind of a season. i think we've always been thinking about going to paris, _ but now that it's finally here, i think we can actually start l to get excited. you know, there's . not much to do now. we've done all the hard work, so we're just going to enjoy . it and make the most of it. fantastic. richard, i'm not going to ask if you've got any tattoos, but i can see you're wearing a beautiful necklace. why did you get that? well, i have got the tattoo and the necklace, so. yeah. a lot of people do get tattoos, rings, necklaces. because like i said, the olympics is such a special thing. we all dream of going to the olympics when we're children. and it's the biggest sporting event in the world. so it's a very special team to be part of as an olympian. so yeah, people get the tattoos,

whatever they want. and now you're here, how does it feel? it feels amazing. i think i'm the oldest person on the team now to my third olympics. so it's really refreshing to see a mixture of youngsters, people that have been in the teams with for a long time. i've known these girls for a long time and i've been through lots of different generations of athletes. i'm just really proud to be here as my third olympics, and it'll certainly be my last. but it's amazing to be here with a mixture of experience of all different athletes on the team. so are you hoping to be the person that shows people how it works at the olympic park, where to go for food, what to do? with certainly some of the youngsters, i'll be guiding them and showing them the ropes a little bit. fantastic, guys. i think there's going to be a little bit of a surprise as you're heading on the train, which is very, very shortly. so yes, the athletics team will be getting on the eurostar. a little statistic for you. they're expecting to serve around 21,000 glasses of champagne throughout the olympics, not just today. and it won't be just for the athletes. it will be for anyone that's travelling to and from paris. but we're hoping some of that will be drunk by the athletes when they bring home their medals.

the actress amanda abbington has made renewed claims about her strictly come dancing partner giovanni pernice's behaviour. she called it �*unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean�*. speaking to the sun on sunday, she says she flagged her concerns about her partner's behaviour to the bbc and nothing was done about it. our news correspondent leigh milner�*s here. leigh, what more do we know? in the papers, she talks about the time spent with him last year, describing his behaviour as abusive, cruel and mean. when they were in rehearsal rooms together. she admits she had to think long and hard before she made a complaint because of the backlash that you might get from this with strictly being one of the bbc�*s most iconic shows over the past 20 years, but when she did, she said she was ignored and nothing was done. at last month, it was

announced that pernice would not return. they said giovanni denies any accusations of abusive behaviour. meanwhile, the bbc said it would not engage in comments about speculation. this it would not engage in comments about speculation.— it would not engage in comments about speculation. this is 'ust what drew one about speculation. this is 'ust what drew of — about speculation. this is 'ust what drew of a h about speculation. this is 'ust what drew one of a series _ about speculation. this is 'ust what drew one of a series of_ about speculation. this isjust what drew one of a series of speculation | drew one of a series of speculation about the programme. yes drew one of a series of speculation about the programme.— drew one of a series of speculation about the programme. yes 'ust a few da s aao, about the programme. yes 'ust a few days ago. we — about the programme. yes 'ust a few days ago. we nee * about the programme. yes 'ust a few days ago, we had from _ about the programme. yesjust a few days ago, we had from reality - about the programme. yesjust a few days ago, we had from reality star. days ago, we had from reality star zara mcdermott spoke out about behaviour from zara mcdermott spoke out about behaviourfrom her zara mcdermott spoke out about behaviour from her partner. zara mcdermott spoke out about behaviourfrom her partner. she did say the star did kick the damage once during the rehearsals which led to his removalfrom the show once during the rehearsals which led to his removal from the show and since then, the bbc did announce it will be chaperones in all future rehearsals along with two new dedicated welfare produces. thank ou ve dedicated welfare produces. thank you very much- —

let's get more now on how a software bug from crowdstrike affected microsoft windows systems around the world. with thousands of flights cancelled, and banking, healthcare,and businesses all affected, we look at what happened in this special programme "the worldwide computer crash". so, people are tired. they've been handing out water. the boards don't really say anything. thousands of flights cancelled. due to the outage, my credit card system isn't working. payment systems down. around the globe, remember, this could cost billions. i mean, even trillions if it keeps going on like this. if we look at the scale of the impact, it's gigantic. i was told that the system is down all over the country as well. - appointments cancelled. computer systems in turmoil. many people saying this is potentially the biggest it outage that we have seen, probably in the last 25, 30 years. of course, the first thing you think is, is this the big cyberattack that everybody has been so worried about?

a massive it outage affecting hundreds of millions all around the world. breaking news a massive global technical outage. massive tech outages are impacting airlines, businesses, offices, companies. the scale of this problem is that it is huge. - i woke up this morning and i was reading the news first thing, which i always do, and i was reading that there had been this outage in australia and i thought, well, that sounds like a bit of a problem, doesn't it? airlines, supermarkets, tv, news channels, banks around the world are affected by this massive it outage, thought to be linked to microsoft's business computer system. the uk wakes up to confusion and chaos as reports of a global it failure break. the first news we had was that there was a microsoft problem. we knew that there had been an issue

in the cloud somewhere and then that had caused issues. i've covered tech news for the best part of 20 years now, and this is the most catastrophic result, i think, of of an outage or a hack that i have seen in terms of how widespread it is and how many companies and businesses and customers have been affected. passengers at airports across the world face long waits and cancellations. we've been static for about three hours and we haven't checked into our flight, which was supposed to take off an hour ago. i'm just in a limbo as to how long i've got to wait here for. yeah, the queues are pretty long. it's it problems worldwide we've heard in the news. i and yeah, apart from that, | we're not really sure what's going on, to be honest. as the minutes go by, the extent of the disruptions begins to unfold, with businesses, banks and nhs systems experiencing major problems. electronic prescription system is down at the moment, so we're not able to receive

prescriptions from surgeries and we can't sort of download and update our system at the moment. even tv stations were forced off air. a major global it outage is hitting businesses worldwide, including here at sky news. at first, it was unclear what was behind such widespread chaos. my initial concern was whether this disruption was a cyber attack we've seen over the past few years various supply chain cyber attacks linked to state actors. i think really early on we figured out that it wasn't a hack, it wasn't a cyber attack, and we've since had the uk government being among the voices saying, you know, you don't need to worry about your security. well, i think my reaction was like so many other. people was one of shock. you know, this is a global, i huge business, which, well, it's affected us all. this outage is notjust something that would happen to a few - people and a few countries and a few companies. -

it's happened around the world. as more and more devices were switched on, millions of computer users were faced with a blue screen of death. so the first problem we knew about was that microsoft's cloud hosting service, if you like the giant computers at the heart of the internet on which so many companies, services and systems are based, those had gone down in the central united states and in a way that was unexpected. there's a cyber security company called crowdstrike, which had issued an update to a service that it offers its customers already. it's called falcon, and it's basically an antivirus scanner. for some reason, this update has reacted really badly with devices running windows software. and of course there are millions of those because it's a very popular bit of kit. let's see how the platform stops an attack in real time. _ this update, which went on to probably millions of devices around the world, notjust your laptop or your desktop

that you work on or play on, but things like ticket devices, ticket machines, things like check in machines at airports and devices inside the nhs as well. and it got those machines to reboot and then they couldn't restart. this financial services company counts on crowdstrike for all their cybersecurity needs. but what if they hadn't? international cybersecurity firm crowdstrike said that the root of the problem lay in an update to its software, which was designed to protect microsoft windows devices from hacking. the company has clarified and taken responsibility for this, and said that only those devices using windows operating systems have been affected. every day there are cyber attack attempts, there are hack attempts. you know, it has a pretty robust system, and it invests a lot in keeping that system secure. and yet somehow this little update, you know, fell through the cracks and slipped through every single net and managed to cause this complete chaos. the company released a statement.

crowdstrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect the chief executive did do an interview in which he did eventually apologise. we're deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers, to travellers, to anyone affected by this, including our companies. microsoft also issued a statement. because of their statement and because of the implausibility for other reasons, it seems unlikely that this was linked to malign actors. part of the reason we can also see that is a lack of targeting. this wasn't specific, this wasn't directed.

so many things have been affected by the outage, and that's because microsoft have got so many fingers in so many pies. so you can go from airlines. you're looking at banks being affected, kiosks in shopping centres. crowdstrike, as of its last earnings call, had 2a,000 customers internationally. that means 2a,000 organisations have been impacted. each of those organisations will have hundreds, maybe even thousands or more devices which could potentially be impacted. i started keeping a list of the brands that seem to be affected and i gave up within an hour because there were just so many. it is a huge thing affecting pretty much every sector. take a look at this. they've left us a gift. i think we misjudged them. crowdstrike is a us firm founded in 2011. they protect companies from cybersecurity incidents and usually deal with the aftermath of hacking. but this time, it was to be their own product,

which caused the problems. we stopped cyber attacks, - we stop breaches, we stop a lot of bad things from happening. if we think about the intersection of those companies, which both operate crowdstrike and also operate windows operating systems on their devices, this is a very large potential. it's one of the biggest dangers is if you have just one point of failure for so many systems, then at some point this was bound to happen. what was the impact of this computing crisis? i would be surprised if there hasn't been an impact on global economies. i would also be surprised if there isn't an impact on the value of crowdstrike and also to an extent, microsoft. the amount that the global economy would have been affected by this kind of move, it's almost impossible to say because it could be billions of pounds, but it could of course, be even more than that. the it outage has also affected the value of crowdstrike itself, with shares in the firm down 15% on the nasdaq exchange in new york. well, we've already seen,

um, when trading opened in the us, a large fall in crowdstrike's market value. we can likely expect further negative repercussions for crowdstrike in the near future because of the significance. i would reflect on the fact, however, that companies, um, have previously been exposed to, um, bad press because of cyber attacks or because of, uh, issues in their technology. it's been monumentally disruptive. and experts say fixing the problem will be time—consuming. in many cases, requiring individual machines to be rebooted. the devices affected by the crowdstrike issue are probably going to need an engineer to go to each and every one, plug a keyboard in, do some very simple steps to to get them started again. but it is probably going to be beyond the level of capability of a lot of certainly home users. functionally, what this means

is that an individual needs to go to every single device, and they need to reboot and change certain aspects of the system in order for it to work. the significance of that can't really be understated in terms of business interruption and potential cost. every single device that's been affected is still going to have to be manually rebooted in safe mode. that means somebody is going to have to do it, who knows what they're doing. the human resource cost of it, technicians or other um, technologically gifted individuals going around to each device is incredibly high. the anticipated financial disruption cost that we can expect from organisations who have had to, um, disrupt their pause their activities is also significant. i think, given the potential shortage of technicians for an event of this scale, it's quite likely it's going to take maybe a week to get everything back up and running, maybe longer. and of course, some machines will be more accessible than others within company hardware stores. so this is going to take some time,

we think, to completely rectify. while for some a fixed proved simple, many were left asking how it could be prevented from happening again. for us as individuals, it's really just about being patient, sadly. unfortunately, as everyday users, there's not an awful lot we can do. clearly, the companies involved will be taking incredible steps and going to enormous lengths and care to try and ensure this doesn't happen again, not least because it creates terrible headlines for them. it depresses their stock price as well. so they're very well incentivised to do this. it's really hard to stop this kind of thing from happening again, only because sometimes those software updates are needed. sometimes it's the security that you need to make the whole system work can knock that system out for a couple of hours. the damage that this might do further on is, you know, cyber security experts will say to you, until they're blue in the face, you've got to do your security update. it's quite a difficult message

on a day like this to say, please carry on doing your updates, even though this one has caused global chaos. ultimately, organisations depend fundamentally on digital solutions produced by large technology companies. it's not really possible in today's world to not use digital systems if you're running a business. so things are tested before they are unleashed. it's not like you would just, you know, make something and then put it out onto the world's computers without trying to make sure that it's safe. so i think probably the issue there is going to lie with crowdstrike and how it tested this update and what it missed along the way. but i think there are also issues at microsoft's end. the outage is a reminder ofjust how integrated technology is within our society. we think about the pervasiveness of technology across our critical national infrastructure, our health care, our power

generation, and so on and so forth. it becomes worrying. you know, there are a small number of tech companies that are at the heart of so much of what we do, particularly with regards to the cloud. it has really shaken the world, i i think, and there are going to be serious questions that microsoft i is going to have to ask itself. i but the reality is on a global stage is that the more countries that own companies or have built companies like microsoft, and the more companies that there are in the market, then the less when one thing fails, everything fails. and so the reality is, is it's almost consumer choice. don'tjust put all your eggs in one basket and then this kind of stuff might not happen again. we have become very dependent on big tech companies providing us with the tools we need to do ourjobs. right now in the world, we have a huge reliance on technology. now, i'm not saying that's a bad thing.

i'm not saying we should throw the baby out with the bathwater, but we've got to be really aware that we are so reliant on technology. i i think this is a really poignantl reminder that actually we're not in control of those devices. if there's something happens at their end, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. and i know that that's the way that the world is, but it doesn't mean that it's always going to be that way. what this incident shows isjust how dependent we are on it systems. i and when something like this happens, how fast and how . widespread the effects are. the reassuring thing in this case is that it's not a hostile act. - it's not a security attack. the cause has been identified, and it's really important- because we're so reliant on these l systems that the fix is put in place as soon as possible.

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. by.

live from london — this is bbc news. a hint from britain's new chancellor that public—sector workers in the uk could be in line for above—inflation pay increases. there is a cost to not settling. a cost of further industrial action,

a cost in terms of the challenge 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. israel says it's intercepted a missile launched from yemen — after the israeli air force carried out a series of strikes in the country. health authorities in india issue an alert after a ia—year—old boy dies of the nipah virus. and seconds away from victory — south sudan's basketball team just miss out on an upset win against the united states. hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. we start here in the uk where the chancellor rachel reeves says the 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.
