>> i've got a show tomorrow. don't drink too much. so we're very nice restaurant on the roof chilling out. yeah, lovely. >> and hopefully the weather is still stays glorious. yeah >> we're outside. it will do. yeah. nice. probably thunder and lightning. good stuff. >> well, many happy returns to you. >> thank you very much. thank you.thank >> thank you very much. thank you. thank you for your messages as well. >> right, right. the breaking news this morning. of course. television channels, banks around the world, airports, hospitals, gp surgeries all knocked offline because of this massive it outage. and it's causing disruption not just in britain but in new zealand. in sydney, australia, america, everywhere . everywhere. >> well, computers are just suddenly shutting down. let's speak to technology journalist will guyot, who joins us now . will guyot, who joins us now. all right. so will what exactly is going on? why is this happening? >> well, firstly, i hope you haven't got a restaurant booked tonight with a computer system because you might not be having that booking. what appears to have happened is, overnight, a company called crowdstrike, who are an it security services company, have pushed an update out to millions of windows computers worldwide. and it

simply stopped them from working. we're hearing this growing in real time. there are various it providers or it specialists on special communities and forums online who are saying they currently cannot communicate to around half a million computers within their company organisations. so this could be hugely widespread if that is the case. and we don't know currently if it was a bad day in the office for somebody who pushed an incorrect update out to millions and millions of people, or there's something more sinister here, like a cyber attack that has averted someone's system and has pushed these out because where we're at currently is all microsoft has acknowledged is that there's an issue and they're taking mitigating steps to stop this. so we're not really fully aware what's happening other than the real time impact that we're all experiencing, which is that services left, right and centre are not working and operating this morning. >> yes. well, so the company involved is a firm called crowdstrike. and they deal with antivirus software and so on.

and apparently an update that they've distributed to computers. well, windows computers. well, windows computers worldwide has it's gone wrong somehow. what does this say about the vulnerability and the trust we put in these tech giants? people like crowdstrike, amazon web services were all up there at their their mercy. i suppose if something goes wrong with one of these firms, the whole globe suffers. >> well, there is the reality that if we are all using computer systems and those computer systems and those computer systems and those computer systems are being responsibly kept up to date like this, and we've had an error, we've had , you know, we've had we've had, you know, we've had a major outage. >> but for i one, the very fact that this this rollout was pushed out last night and it's caused such chaos and disruption within less than 24 hours, goes one step further than the nhs wannacry attack in 2017, which was as a result of computers and systems not being patched and updated. so whilst it's caused huge disruptions, you could argue that things have actually moved on quite significantly. but going back to your point, ben , absolutely, 100. we are so ben, absolutely, 100. we are so reliant on computing technology

this morning and everything from nana, from, from, from the restaurant booking all the way through to the airline through to the post office, through to the courier, through to, you know, anything you're doing this weekend will potentially be impacted as a result of all of these computer systems being taken down. >> so what does this tell us then about how things like ai? >> because again , if somebody if >> because again, if somebody if something goes wrong there, i mean i could make us even more vulnerable. should we be concerned and also how soon is this likely to be fixed? >> well, don't know how long it's going to take to be fixed because we don't actually know what the problem is. so, it's hard to say. hard to say when that will be a problem. when that will be a problem. when that when that will be fixed. well, no, i don't know the problem. and it hasn't been officially announced as to whether or not this is an errant update that's been pushed by a company, or if it's something more sinister. company, or if it's something more sinister . as regards to more sinister. as regards to should we be concerned about technology and the rise of ai, etc? this is just could this could just potentially be a really, really bad day in the office for somebody that's pushed the wrong button and we all know what happens when a

mistake is made. the challenge and the question and the follow up from this should be how on earth did this get out to the market and has caused such, such impact? there has to be, you know, more checks and balances in place before software updates like this are released. if this is what happens when they go wrong, they're likely to be punished. >> then if they say they should be, what should happen to them? if they i would be, i would i would be pretty confident that somebody would be being called into an office fairly quickly if it was decided that somebody has accidentally pressed the wrong button somewhere at their offices in california. >> but let's see what some what unfolds. we don't know . it's unfolds. we don't know. it's a cyber attack. it could still be a mistake . a mistake. >> okay. well, thanks very much. crowdstrike. of course, the firm involved fans of sport formula 1st may know them as mercedes benz chief sponsor. so just very briefly, tv channels off air. gail's bakery can't take in—store payments. nightmare outages in new zealand parliament, the gp system and the nhs. airports in japan, india and so on. >> sky news go off air as well. >> sky news go off air as well. >> i think they did shame , >> i think they did shame, right? >> well, let's move stateside, shall we? donald trump was met

with raucous applause last night as he accepted the republican nomination for president. >> yes. wow, what a speech it was. he also recalled his assassination attempts last saturday. let's take a look at what he said, and you'll never hearit what he said, and you'll never hear it from me. >> a second time, because it's actually too painful to tell. the amazing thing is that prior to the shot, if i had not moved my head at that very last instant, the assassin's bullet would have perfectly hit its mark and i would not be here tonight . we would not be tonight. we would not be together once my i stand before you in this arena. together once my i stand before you in this arena . only by the you in this arena. only by the grace of almighty god . grace of almighty god. >> so that was donald trump speaking earlier. well, jennifer ewing joins us. she's a spokesperson for republicans overseas. jennifer, it was quite a moving speech. and it showed a very human side to donald trump. and it's interesting when our commentator emily maitlis from

the bbc, went to interview him, that she seemed quite heartless and hard hearted and didn't, you know, interview. sorry. nigel farage, she spoke about donald trump . and it's interesting that trump. and it's interesting that people don't think he's got a soft side. no completely. >> and as a matter of fact, it's because of that interviewer that you're talking about. i'm wearing a red dress today, one of the comments she made about the rnc was how many women were in red dresses, which is, i think, patriotic and spiritual, you know, full of spirit. but anyway, no, it showed a human side to him for sure. and i thought he sounded incredibly presidential, which is not something we often say about him. it showed a complete separation of between the president. we currently have joe biden, who's just allegedly been taken down by a virus, and yet a bullet couldn't take down former president donald trump. you know, we all saw him get up on saturday covered in blood with the fist in the air. so many great lines from last night. i really loved how he said with humility, please be excited . i

humility, please be excited. i also thought talking about the supporters that were there with him on saturday and, you know, commenting on their bravery. of course he did the moment of silence for corey perry, who sadly lost his life, was shot. and, you know, he's calling for unity. he said, i want to be a president for all of us, not just 50% of the country, which is reference to sort of the division in the country. so great speech, tremendous bounce back full of bravery and courage from saturday. >> although keir starmer said something like that about a prime minister for all and then didn't take a question from gb news in his first press conference. >> well, do you know what? you said it there. i mean, it was so unifying at times spiritual, he said. we either rise together as a country or we fall apart together, and do you know what, tucker carlson, the former fox news host, the right wing commentator, he was saying, and amongst other people, actually some members of my family, but saying that since that incident on saturday, when he was nearly killed, he can see a transformation, maybe even an instant transformation in, in donald trump, in the way he

handles himself, his aura, the way he speaks. i think there's a lot more humility there. and also, maybe i'm wrong because i'm not in america, so i can't really tell for myself. but i sense a lot more optimism for the future of america . the future of america. >> definitely. i mean, my colleague greg swenson, a friend of the show, is there. he's been telling us live on the ground since he's been there. like the energy levels are fantastic people are full of hope, and they're full of just this . this they're full of just this. this guy is going to hopefully win in november . we've got the right november. we've got the right guy, and i think what happened on saturday is it just kind of made america, i don't want to say great again , but, like, it's say great again, but, like, it's okay to get behind this guy. we saw david sax, amongst others, come out with a list of people, whether that's silicon valley guys who never in a million years. i mean , i'm from years. i mean, i'm from california. never would you have silicon valley guys, you know, backing, trump. and now they've given permission to do that. i think you'll see a lot of other people follow and just, hey, it is okay to care about the issues

that we do, the economy, inflation, and of course, the crisis we have at the southern border that, you look at the room, you look at the various speeches that were given. i loved don jr pointing out yesterday how i'm talking about him and jd vance, you know, couldn't have come from two more opposite backgrounds, i.e. trump tower or a very poor appalachia like where jd vance, the vice president nominees came from. and yet they are bound together by, you know, a lot of goals. and the way they want america to turn around. >> well, he reinforced the nofion >> well, he reinforced the notion of the wall building the wall. and what is interesting is that when he said that before, everyone says this is building a wall, this is terrible. and then he said it this time and people are behind him now. they understand why this is needed. yet before he was seen as some sort of pariah for daring to suggest such a thing before. >> i mean, no, no, you're right. and you guys were probably covering 2015 election when he dared to suggest that . and he dared to suggest that. and he was racist and he was a xenophobe, and he was. oh

america is built on immigrants. and yes, it is. you know , but and yes, it is. you know, but the thing is, and he even said in his speech, we want newcomers, but you've got to come in legally because and the people actually, who are being hurt by a lot of this, you know, this open border that we've had since day one when president biden put a line through trump's policies, whether it's the wall or remain in mexico, is it's a lot of these poorer neighbourhoods that are being affected because their schools are overfilled. there's crime and also the people who are dying to come here and are waiting in line. those people get hurt too . get hurt too. >> so listen, jennifer, we're running out of time. really good to talk to you. thank you so much. see you guys. >> happy birthday. >> happy birthday. >> thank you. jennifer. that's jennifer ewing. she's a spokesperson for republicans overseas okay. >> up next another president, this time the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy. he will brief the cabinet as the first foreign leader to visit number 10 today under sir keir starmer. what do you make of that gbnews.com/yoursay? you're with britain's newsroom on gb news back

tick. >> good morning. it's just gone 50 minutes after 9:00. this is britain's newsroom on gb news now. how. >> now. >> sir keir starmer is hosting his first official visitor to downing street today . and it's downing street today. and it's the ukrainian president, vladimir zelenskyy >> now he'll be the first foreign leader to address the cabinet in person since the us president, bill clinton, in 1997. >> we're joined now by gb news political correspondent olivia utley, who is nearby. olivia, good morning. how significant is mr zelenskyy's presence in downing street and also, what doesit downing street and also, what does it mean for sir keir starmer and the start of his premiership? >> well , premiership? >> well, vladimir zelenskyy is the first foreign leader to visit the new prime minister and as we've heard, he is the first foreign leader to address a cabinet in the uk since bill clinton in 1997. this invitation shows that keir starmer is still very serious about helping

ukraine, and the two men are expected to agree a export defence treaty worth £3.5 billion. so essentially britain will sort of loan that money to ukraine so that ukraine can buy british weapons. this will come as a huge relief to vladimir zelenskyy. the change of government hasn't signalled any change in the uk's staunch support of ukraine. but in other areas, zelenskyy is coming under some some difficulty. he's been at the epc for the last couple of days where viktor orban, the president of hungary, is saying that ukraine needs to have a peace deal with russia. and of course , zelenskyy. and ukraine course, zelenskyy. and ukraine is very worried about the prospect of donald trump coming into power in america in november with his running mate jd vance, who has been very, very vocal about his opinion that, a us aid to ukraine needs to stop soon. so zelenskyy will be relieved to know that the uk

is still backing ukraine. but elsewhere it is beginning to feel as though support is slipping away . and that comes at slipping away. and that comes at a pretty bad time for zelenskyy to . russia is now a pretty bad time for zelenskyy to. russia is now making a pretty bad time for zelenskyy to . russia is now making quite to. russia is now making quite a lot of strategic gains on the battlefield. so just how long can ukraine keep fighting for him? >> but hasn't, haven't we just joined a lot of other european countries to stop the transporting and closing our ports? so not allowing putin to deliver his oil and gas to this country? because this isn't he hasn't he got troops of forces, of ships and fleets of ships going around the world delivering, oil and gas. >> well, keir starmer is wanting to put a stop to russian vessels going through english waters. some of these russian vessels are not seaworthy. the russians have used, older ships to get around some of these new,

stoppages on, on those russian ships. so that's what keir starmer is promising that he's going to do. that will be music to the ears of some environmental protesters who have been very, very worried that these russian ships carrying oil, which are not seaworthy , could end up with seaworthy, could end up with huge oil spills in uk waters. so it will come as a relief to them. it'll be really interesting to see whether keir starmer is able to keep these sanctions in place for as long as he'd like. >> okay, olivia, thanks very much. we'll touch base later on dunng much. we'll touch base later on during the show. yeah. so keir starmer this morning tweeting i won't allow russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers and the dirty money it generates to flow freely through european waters and put our security at risk. ukraine is and always will be at the heart of my government's agenda. he actually got a lot of stick for that online this morning. people saying, well, shouldn't our own defence or owned armed forces be the centre of your government's agenda ? of your government's agenda? someone else saying zelenskyy in downing street to exchange bank details? well, i guess he is. if they're signing a defence

treaty, i think you have to be very careful because in that respect, we're very vulnerable and putin will test nato, but up next we'll have the latest it outage causing chaos across britain. >> this is britain's newsroom. annie. has your weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news. weather update. it could be the hottest day of the year so far for some areas in the south and east. however, across the north and west it's still fairly cloudy and much cooler up here. will be a drier day though. today for parts of northern ireland and much of scotland. hazy sunshine affecting northern areas of england, as well as some .western areas of wales. england, as well as some .western areas of wales . some cloud areas of wales. some cloud moving into parts of cornwall later on. this afternoon as well. further east, though elsewhere across england and wales it will be a very dry and warm day, strong sunshine, temperatures climbing into the 30s across the south—east. we've only had 30.5 so far this year,

>> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> thanks, sam, and good morning to you at home. welcome. this is britain's newsroom on gb news live across the uk with me, ben leo and birthdaygirl nana akua. >> i've got to say thank you so much to all your amazing birthday messages. and also to beverley callard who said happy birthday nan. and then she said she loves us both together. beverley callard, the corrie corrie actress. i used to love coronation street. >> she's a fan of the show. >> she's a fan of the show. >> she's a fan of the show. >> she was well she's she's watching, she's watching. beverley. thank you. hello beverley. thank you. hello beverley. thank you. well listen, if you just joined us, it's just coming up to nine minutes after 10:00, but let's return to the breaking news this morning. television channels and banks all around the world have been knocked offline. >> planes have been grounded, gp appointments have been delayed, andifs appointments have been delayed, and it's all due to a massive outage causing windows computers to suddenly and randomly shut down. >> now gb news is a very own neil oliver has been affected by this tech meltdown. he's to here tell us more because i think he's currently getting ready to try and get on a flight to do his show, neil.

>> morning, both. morning, everyone. yeah i knew there was something wrong here. i turned up about half past seven this morning, maybe 8:00, and the queue , just to get into the queue, just to get into the building was stretching away into the distance. hundreds of metres long, all holiday makers just trying to get inside the airport . once i was finally able airport. once i was finally able to get through up to through security into departures, and then the news dropped on my phone that the flight was cancelled and my flight to london. so i'm not i'm not coming down to london at the moment, and then gradually i began to hear all sorts of gossip around me, and people were saying there was this massive tech outage all over the world. and, well, here i am. >> so are there dozens or hundreds of people in a similar position to you? and also you've got a show to record this evening in london. what are you going to do? >> well, absolutely. there's it's hard to tell. it's obviously patchy. i mean, the fact that i'm able to connect with you guys and talk to you, clearly the internet is working in, in some ways or other. so

it's hard to tell exactly who's affected and to what extent. but yeah, i've already had several conversations with people who were on my flight, the ba 1451 to london, which is not going to london. there's all sorts of cancellations all over the place. i don't know what the situation is like downstairs. you know , the you know, the you know, the you know, the point before you come through to, to departure. i don't know whether there's, you know, a huge crowd milling about down there, but i suspect there's a lot of uncertainty down there, too. i'm just going to have to see. i'll try and pick up the pieces after i've finished talking to you, i'll see if it's possible at all to get south today. and if not, well , we are today. and if not, well, we are adaptable creatures and we will find alternative ways of doing things. >> well, yeah, of course, but, neil. but what are your thoughts on this, though? because i know you're very deep, man. you have you're very deep, man. you have you're very deep, man. you have you're very insightful. what do you're very insightful. what do you think about this? the fact that simple a simple app update can do so much damage? apparently. i don't know whether we don't know whether it was on purpose or not, but you know, it

points to that, that strange paradox between the extent to which we are all dependent upon technology, artificial intelligence, algorithms, apps and all the rest of it upon which so much of life depends. >> and yet plainly it doesn't take too much to throw all of that into partial or complete confusion. so it does beg the question, you know, just where are we with the with the stability of the of the entire global network upon which we all depend? i'm sure people are speculating about this having been, you know, done by someone, you know, that maybe someone's hacked a system somewhere. i'm sure people are asking those kind of questions, you know, it's happened on top of the republican national convention, you know, disrupting coverage of speeches and all of the rest of it. i'm sure many people are speculating, but as, as often, as often happens , one is left as often happens, one is left wondering, you know, just how how wise we are to put all our eggsin how wise we are to put all our eggs in this one basket. if at the flick of the wrong switch, this kind of international chaos

can ensue. >> yeah, neil, not least, of course , lots of people trying to course, lots of people trying to buy groceries this morning, going to their bakery or, you know, whatever. they can't because their electronic car payments don't work. so again, another example of the reliance on cash . on cash. >> yeah, people people were instantly talking here in the airport about the banks. their banks weren't working that they could because obviously in a situation like this, people are trying to you know, make financial transactions in relation to follow up flights and all of the rest of it. and that was one of the first things that was one of the first things that everyone was talking about. and anything that that affects people's ability and freedom to transact as they want to do is enormously significant. who knows what the number is of transactions that are supposedly happening in real time, moment by moment, all around the world. and when something like this goes down, it takes all of that with it . the fact that, you with it. the fact that, you know, that so many flights here are clearly disrupted, all sorts of conflicting information as well, in the immediate aftermath of the thing going down, were

being sent to other gates, you know, we were being told this, that and the next thing was possibly going to happen some flights continued to be loaded up and to depart. other people were just being told to sit and wait, you know, you can imagine it's hot in here in the building. it's a it's a it's a lovely warm day here, and i suspect in various places tempers are getting very frayed indeed. >> well, neil, we hope you get here quickly so that you can do your show . otherwise, one of us your show. otherwise, one of us might have to present it. i think he's more suited. well if the if the technology is robust enough, there'll be other ways to do things. >> i'm quite sure. so fingers crossed and we will find a way. >> thanks, neil. safe travels, my friend. >> well, joining us now is our thanks. thank you neil. joining us now is our reporter charlie peters charlie peters. so any more updates on on what's happened. >> well technology it's a dream when it works. but a disaster when it works. but a disaster when it works. but a disaster when it doesn't. >> plenty of it security experts writing today that the world appears to be grinding to a halt. we've heard several updates, haven't we, from people saying they can't pay for things

at cafes this morning. but it's not just. and they're struggling at airports too, as you just heard from neil. but it's not just buying a coffee and a cake and getting on a holiday. that's and getting on a holiday. that's an issue. this morning. people are today unable to access their doctors and their pre—scripted medicine. this morning due to this widespread outage. now there's no official confirmation as to what has gone on here, but several leading commentators and those close with an understanding of the situation are saying that this worldwide it outage has been primarily caused by a virus update from a company called crowdstrike, which provides security and cybersecurity for cloud storage. now, for those who don't know what cloud storage is, it's basically when you're able to store information online, which multiple people can access through a network. and we are increasingly reliant on these services to get things done , to services to get things done, to access information, to book things, to pay for things. well neil was wondering how many credit card purchases are made a

day. it's 2 billion to 2 billion a day. sorry, over 22,000 per second. now you can understand that number will be plummeting today as many people revert to pen and paper this morning in reaction to this outage. we've just seen someone sharing some footage from delhi airport where they are being given a boarding pass that had been written in pen and paper because they're unable to access that system. we had it on your screen. now that's someone completely unable to get the system there to work. now, it doesn't appear to be the case that this is being caused by a cyber security incident. a senior security source in britain has briefed around all the outlets today, saying that this is not the main cause. this is rather an error than a targeted attack by a hostile state or non—state actor. this is an accident, in effect, somebody to be something, somebody to be something, somebody like vladimir putin. >> if it's not affecting him, which it probably is not, because he's so detached from everything else that's globalised in that respect. he must be looking on thinking,

well, it's not that difficult to take these people down. >> we are so reliant, aren't we, on these these tech giants, crowdstrike. i've said before, they sponsor the mercedes f1 team. people might know them, but other firms like amazon web services, they are responsible for so much of the infrastructure on the internet. and as you said , the human toll and as you said, the human toll of this today in britain at least, is gps reporting now that they're only seeing the most unwell patients. and i can't imagine the total cost of the damage globally. i mean, is it fair to say it would run into billions and billions, but almost certainly at this stage, just purely from the travel perspective, that's going to be a disaster. >> i don't think we've seen this much of a shortage on travel since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, when all those flights were grounded so suddenly. a similar issue does appear to be taking place now, where so many airports just aren't able to put on the services as normal. we are expecting widespread delays, particularly in the us. both united and american airlines, some of the largest airlines in the world, say that they are experiencing delays. the rail network in britain experiencing

some problems. trains are running as normal, but with delays, but they are unable to demonstrate departure boards, adding, of course, to some communication issues there. in reaction to all of this this morning, the lib dems have urged the government to gather the cobra unit. the cobra meeting, the cabinet office briefing rooms. that's the emergency civil emergency centre that's held in whitehall, where key leaders within the civil service and government can brief each other on reaction to situation. at least one political party now saying that this is a civil contingency issue where government needs to come together and create a reaction. we'll see if others join that call later today and very, very briefly, because we're running out of time. >> so do is there any contingency measure set in set in with governments? if there is mass tech outages like this? >> well, it's pen and paper. we've seen it before. >> but is there any government sort of led contingency measure because they if they haven't, they need to come up with something. >> i'm not privy to those plans. but we do know that a month or so ago, when there was an issue with a cyber attack on the nhs

and several major london trauma units, they did have to revert to pen and paper when they were unable to access their services. it looks as though a similar situation could be occurring here. >> right. well, thank you very much, charlie peters. >> charlie. well, it's a major, major story. it's affecting not just gp services and hospitals and airlines. it's affecting the state troopers in alaska, airports in india, rail lines in sydney, new zealand. it truly, truly global. and the human toll and the economic toll. i think we've not even really started thinking about it yet. >> well, if you've been affected by the it outage then email us gb views @gbnews. com or gbnews.com/yoursay >> okay, let's go across the pond now as donald trump describes how a bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking his life. >> now, he gave a lengthy speech as he accepted the republican nomination for president , nomination for president, including a promise to bring americans together. yes. and what a speech it was. >> it's being dubbed as one of the best of his career and one of the best, actually, in us political history. so we're

joined now by political commentator matthew stadlen, who i'm sure was fawning over former president trump as he watched the speech at the rnc convention last night. matthew, what did you make of it all? >> did you really think it was one of his best ever? >> i did, i thought it was moving. i thought it was unifying. i thought it was spiritual in parts. and yeah, i did. i think there's been a real transformation in donald trump in his aura. the way he speaks and also the way he's being received. now not just in the us but globally. >> let me start by just saying, as everyone should continue to say what a horrific event it was on the weekend, and anyone who has not condemned that assassination attempt is part of assassination attempt is part of a problem . political violence a problem. political violence has no place in democracies. and i should also say, i'm sure everyone watching would agree that there's no doubt that former president trump showed extraordinary mental and physical resilience in the way that he handled that, although i'm not sure that standing up in the way that he did and raising

his fist to the air was particularly sensible, i'm sure he was in shock, but that could very well have endangered his life and the lives of those who were there to, to keep him safe. not that the secret service did very well. so, look, we've got that out of the way. clearly, it was a moving moment when he described just how close he got to death. he's a human being, and like all of us, his life is precious. i mean, i'm not convinced that this was a particularly good speech. if you ask some democrats in america, they'll tell you that this is they'll tell you that this is the first good thing that's happened to the democrats for a while because of course, the democratic party is in abject chaos at the moment with so many wanting president biden to step aside for my part, i think it was an underwhelming speech. it was an underwhelming speech. it was the longest for at least 50 years in republican convention history. it was probably, i think, fair to describe, rambling in places. it was also

profoundly inaccurate. i would go as far as to say that trump lied on several occasions. he claimed that he built most of this wall that he promised the last time around that didn't happen. he inflated the inflation that's taken place under biden at the moment, it's just 3, which is not particularly high. historically. there were other areas as well in which he was loose with the truth. so of course , everyone in truth. so of course, everyone in that room that you can see applauding him , they all love applauding him, they all love him and there's no doubt that it to them, he's an extraordinary orator. but i don't think this is going to move the dial one way or the other. and let's remember, by the way, lots of people now think he's a shoo in. >> listen, the very fact that he was able to give that speech, have it after what happened to him, you know, is a sign of true strength and true leadership. and let's be honest, here, the democrats don't really have much to offer. so he's pretty much it's pretty much a done deal. do you not think ? you not think? >> well, to go back to my first

point, i think it did show remarkable resilience. i mean, quite, quite extraordinary . and quite, quite extraordinary. and it puts into even sharper relief the physical and arguably mental failings that president biden has shown in recent weeks and in recent months. some would even say in recent years. so there's a very strong contrast between a man that many democrats would love to step aside, i.e. president biden and president trump, who, as you say, showed the physical and mental resilience to make an hour and a half speech just days after an attempted assassination . you you attempted assassination. you you assert, nana, that the democrats don't have much to offer. as i say at the moment, no , as i say, say at the moment, no, as i say, i think president biden, as a figure, as a person, is doing huge damage to their chances of re—election . but he has re—election. but he has actually, in some ways, not in every way. i was very critical of the withdrawal from afghanistan, a legacy, actually, of the trump era, but that was conducted under biden's

presidency. but he has in many ways done a good job as american president. families are becoming wealthier. >> oh, come on, matthew, come on. no no no no. >> hang on, hang on. >> hang on, hang on. >> let me let me finish my point. no, no. we're running out of time. no no no no, we're running out of time. >> me and you've just asserted no, he's got nothing to offer. >> matthew, look, is it simply a case of giving you examples of what he does have? >> okay. all right. matthew stadler, always a pleasure. thank you so much. that's matthew stadler. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and i'm sorry the democrats have nobody to offer. gavin newsom, the governor of california homelessness up 40. san francisco a crime ridden hellhole. who else? kamala harris . harris. >> nothing. >> nothing. >> well, listen, we're still on this global. it outage email list. if it's affected you, gb views and gbnews.com .co.uk. we want to get you on the show. but this is britain's newsroom on gb news

>> hello. welcome back. it's

1027, ben and nana with you on britain's newsroom. only on gb news this morning. and we're also joined now by amy nicholson and writer emma webb in the studio. good morning to you. >> all right. let's start with our first story. just stop oil campaigners. five of them have been jailed for conspiring to organise protests that blocked the m25. roger hallam, who is the m25. roger hallam, who is the main guy? the leader, 58. he's been jailed for five years. about time. >> amy nicholl i just find this really, really disturbing because part of a healthy democracy is our right to protest. >> we should cherish our right to protest peaceful, non—violent protests that they hadn't even put into action. and they've been put in prison. but in prison. but for a non—violent offence that is not non—violent hasn't even happened. >> that's not non—violent, is it? you stopped a motorway. people can't get to things. it's a passive aggressive form of violence. so you're not physically touching someone. but what you're doing is creating a situation that could impact many people negatively. >> could, could, could. >> could, could, could. >> i think the key word here is could it has. but the thing is, do you not find it interesting that we are more outraged by the

potential actions of a climate group than we are about the consequences of climate change, which we see all? no, actually, i don't , emma woolf. i don't, emma woolf. >> no, i mean, the judge said that they had crossed a line and, you know, there is such a thing as eco terrorism. i'm not saying that they are terrorists, but they, this was not an act of simply protesting. this is not, is not using your democratic right to protest. two lorries crashed into each other. people couldn't get to their medical appointments. this has crossed the line into being so disruptive that it was putting people's lives at risk. it is exceptionally dangerous to disrupt a motorway like that, and i am really glad that they've been given jail time for this because we've seen in protest after protest after protest, protesters getting away with criminality simply because they are doing that criminality in the course of their protest. and that leads to a spiralling effect where people get more and more bold in breaking the law. and that can invariably lead to

terroristic behaviour. we also saw you three are meant to be the defenders of free speech. >> i am a defender of free speech, but i am not a defender of criminality. nation. i know closing down free speech. >> can i just ask you, amy, what about the free speech and the freedom of those who they stopped on that motorway because it's not just one sided, is it? so freedom of speech within the bounds of the law. if you break the law, there is law. so you can't just but we are not without consequences. >> that's what i'm saying. we have laws to protect the ability, which is what peaceful protest . protest? sorry. do you protest. protest? sorry. do you not find it frustrating ? it's not find it frustrating? it's not find it frustrating? it's not peaceful that say you say the ceos of the water companies which have pumped sewage into our water systems, they are absolutely free. the polluters, the massive polluters that there is, should be examples of, of in iraq of, of children getting leukaemia because of fossil fuels being burned in iraq. all those all those ceos, all those you're talking about, all those polluters are absolutely not in any form in trouble with the

law. yet we are putting people who are standing up against it. no, no, i think in jail, no, no, they can stand up against it. >> but it depends how you stand. and if you do it in a way that you inflict pain and injury to others around you, which this is exactly what happened here, then you are breaking the law. well, nothing. >> i agree with you. >> i agree with you. >> i agree with you on the water companies and they should be jailed. >> but those actions of other people do not justify breaking the law. even if you think that humanity, humanity's future, is at stake. like roger hallam, obviously has this sort of apocalyptic worldview, and they think that therefore any action is justified in order to save humanity. that is a really, really dangerous perspective. and now i defend the right to protest. i do not defend the right to break the law. and what these protesters have done time and time again, whether it is digging up the lawn of trinity college, whether it is vandalising people's property , vandalising people's property, whether it is preventing people from getting to medical appointments, they are breaking the law. and that is not legitimate protest. that is not free speech. >> i think you're being misleading when you talk about

their methods. >> every single one of their methods has been non—violent . so methods has been non—violent. so it is just misleading to say any means. they have broken the law. and if the if people wanted to have a fair hearing for this group, which are predominantly young people and then we've got roger hallam, why in court were they not allowed to say, let me evidence , let me, let me just evidence, let me, let me just ask a hypothetical question. >> yes or no ? if i were to >> yes or no? if i were to vandalise a building, disrupt a motorway because i want them to have zero immigration, i believe that that is absolutely necessary. would it be acceptable for me to break the law because i believe that my cause you to peacefully protest, protest in the same way? >> just stop oil wouldn't it be illegal for me to? >> we need specifically on that question, yes or no? >> is it we need to protect protest for everyone, whether you like the cause or whether you like the cause or whether you don't. but it wouldn't be legitimate for me. how close? basically, russia and china. >> thank you very much, amy. nicole turner and also emma webb. it's a heated discussion.

i want to have that again, don't you? right though. let's get your latest news headlines with sam francis. >> very good morning to you. 1032 and the top story this morning, flights still grounded, trains have been disrupted. and one major tv network was knocked off air earlier after an it glitch sparked widespread outages across the world. screens were blank at sydney's airport overnight as airlines blamed microsoft for the issues, meaning that passengers couldn't be checked in to their flights. meanwhile, some tv networks have been off air as radio stations reverted to playing music on cds. and here, ryanair is among the first of airlines to report disruptions to its flights, with passengers reporting complete chaos at various uk airports. those warnings also extend to those travelling by rail, with transpennine express among the rail networks reporting that some people are having trouble purchasing tickets. the glitch is thought to have originated at

a cybersecurity firm called crowdstrike, and is also impacting some supermarkets. medical surgeries and gp surgeries here in the uk . the surgeries here in the uk. the president of ukraine has asked sir keir starmer to show his leadership in the fight against russia, as he addressed the cabinet this morning. president zelenskyy briefed them about ukraine's war and said it is possible to destroy areas in russia where weapons are being concentrated. the uk government has suggested the deployment of british missiles is ultimately a matter for ukraine, as long as international law is upheld. donald trump says he had god on his side the day that a bullet narrowly missed him. during a campaign speech, the former president returned to the stage for the first time since that assassination attempt with a speech at the republican national convention, where he formally accepted his party's nomination for president for the long haul. meanwhile, barack obama has reportedly told senior democrats that joe biden's path

to victory has greatly diminished. it comes as a report in the new york times suggests that president biden has begun to accept that he may now have to accept that he may now have to drop out of the race to the white house, though at least one person close to mr biden insists he's not yet made up his mind. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sam francis and other update at 11:00. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code , or go to gbnews.com the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> cheers! britannia wine club proudly sponsors the gb news financial report . financial report. >> let's take a quick look at the markets for you this morning. the pound will buy you $1.2913 and ,1.187. the price of gold this hour, £1,871.76 per ounce. and the ftse 100 is at

>> the good morning. 49 minutes after 10:00. >> this is britain's newsroom with me , nana akua and ben leo. with me, nana akua and ben leo. >> very good morning to you. hope you're well now. president zelenskyy has been addressing the cabinet at downing street. it's the first foreign leader to do so since bill clinton in 1997. let's go there live now and take a look.

at the first foreign leader that ihave at the first foreign leader that i have welcomed into downing street, just two weeks after we're invited to form government. >> so this is a real piece of history, and not only that , history, and not only that, we've checked the records. this is the first time this century that a foreign leader has addressed in person the cabinet in the united kingdom. so you're very, very welcome to what for us is a very important, meeting. and i think that shows the esteem that you are held in, in this country, across the world and the importance that we all attach to the fight in ukraine, which is the defining struggle of our times . so you're very, of our times. so you're very, very welcome, and i know i speak for every person in this room, the whole government, in saying you have our unshakeable support

as i told you last week in washington at the nato council and yesterday at the epc, we will stand with you and the people of for ukraine as long as it may take. and we backed that up, obviously with £3 billion of military support each year. that's a very important commitment. we'll speed up our delivery of vital aid and equipment. we've had the chance to discuss that this morning. and i think not only do we make progress in washington, we made further progress with european leaders yesterday in blenheim, and it was a real privilege to be able to host that and to make sure that ukraine was the first issue on the agenda yesterday that we discussed, you know , that we discussed, you know, amongst allies and of course, the new pledge to crack down on the new pledge to crack down on the ships that are helping russia to evade sanctions. now i've seen for myself the horror that russia has inflicted on your country. when i came to kyiv, just 18 months ago, and i

was so struck by the scenes in the neighbouring areas that i'd seen on the television, i'd seen the images. but to go and actually walk the streets and hear from the people who had to, remove bodies or bury their friends and their family members, was profoundly impactful for me. to see the spirit of civilians , who were spirit of civilians, who were playing their part in the effort, going to work. every day, which may seem like nothing, but it was really symbolic of their commitment, particularly the railways i was struck with. but across all walks of life , people say, we walks of life, people say, we are not going to be defeated . it are not going to be defeated. it doesn't matter how many times we are attacked. we will get up. we will go back to work, we will rebuild and show our defiance. and we saw that, you know, once again last week with the appalling attack on a children's hospital. this is children undergoing cancer treatment, it

it goes without saying that it's unforgivable. it can't go unpunished and aggression cannot be rewarded . so. so we are all be rewarded. so. so we are all here united behind you, i've asked the foreign secretary and the defence secretary to lead a review of our support for ukraine to make sure that we're doing everything that we can, to support you. it has been really useful to have a discussion with you this morning in private to hear for myself, your plans and priorities and take that early opportunity to make sure that we say what we've said before, which is the support of the united kingdom, has been strong and resolute since the outbreak of this terrible war. the change of this terrible war. the change of government does not change our position at all. we supported the previous government . the current government. the current opposition supports this government . the only winners. if government. the only winners. if there's a political divide here are putin, and we're not going to let that happen. we will

double down on sir keir starmer just reassuring vladimir zelenskyy that we will stand behind ukraine, as we have done as the previous government have done. >> yeah, some unease at seeing zelenskyy in the cabinet room there in downing street from our viewers on gbnews.com/yoursay, sir keir starmer saying there are, winners. well as far as i'm concerned, there are no winners in war. the amount of videos i've seen of young ukrainian men, young russian men slaughtering each other on a battlefield whilst these kind of people meet in plush central london, buildings, they pat each other on the back. they exchange tens of billions of pounds. >> that's a little that's a little bit unfair. i mean, look , little bit unfair. i mean, look, by the way, can i, can i can i just say as well, sir keir starmer calling for a ceasefire in the middle east, not one word or suggestion that he wants to do the same in ukraine and end the bloodshed. i think that's a little bit unfair, to be honest with you, because you know, well, well, the bit that you're saying that these men are just meeting and so on and so forth, they have to they volodymyr zelenskyy is holding the fort

for a company, a country that has been company. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well , it >> yeah. >> well, it probably as well, but but a country that has been invaded, and it's not fair. and so somebody needs to fight and, you know, that's fine. you can't just simply allow president putin to run rough. >> that's fine. >> that's fine. >> look, if ukraine and that's what's happening here, if the government wants to send arms and money to ukraine and zelenskyy to fight the invasion of russia, fine. but as far as i'm concerned, and i'm not alone in this, the optics of having zelenskyy in downing street in the cabinet office isn't a good thing. and also, a couple of weeks ago, the day after he won the election, he was he was, as starmer was talking about how he would have shadow storm missiles given to ukraine so they could hit targets in russian territory, but he had to roll back to u—turn on that. so as far as i'm concerned, there's a certain sense of diplomacy you need. you're handling a nuclear superpower. and if we're to believe people like sir keir starmer, a despot in vladimir putin. so just get the optics right. i don't think having zelenskyy in the cabinet room is right. >> on the other hand, it's a show of strength. so the other side of it is that him doing

thatis side of it is that him doing that is a show of strength and that is a show of strength and that we are united in one goal, which is to stop vladimir putin. so to me, i think he's unwise to be, you know, pushing too far. but at the same time, i think vladimir putin is more likely if he does carry on like this, to try and test nato and see whether the nato allies will simply work together. but let's move on, because three years on from lift, the lifting of the final lockdown measures, a campaign group has found that the uk was one of the least effective spenders in terms of limiting excess deaths, so was it all for nothing? >> well, joining us now is the head of campaigns at the taxpayers alliance, elliott keck. good morning. thank you for joining us. so your figures, forjoining us. so your figures, it's around, what, 3.5 billion. is that correct, do you think has gone to waste during covid? i thought the figure was going to be vastly i mean, bigger than that for test and trace, for example , was 37 billion. yeah. example, was 37 billion. yeah. well so the 3.5 billion i think specifically looking at fraud and those measures, the 37 billion on test and trace, a lot of that was actually spent on covid testing, whether or not it was the best use of money is debateable. >> but listen, obviously we saw the covid inquiry yesterday,

produced a report, slamming the government and slamming the response to covid. we've produced another one today. it didn't cost taxpayers tens of millions of pounds to produce like the one yesterday. but nevertheless, i think what it shows is that we spent an absolutely vast amount of money. we locked down people for a year and a half, and yet, actually the result was a lot more people died in the uk than other comparable nations. so we were one of the least efficient, countries in comparable oecd nafions countries in comparable oecd nations at actually preventing excess deaths . excess deaths. >> could that not be partly to do with our own healthcare systems as well? so for example, the nhs is overrun. we are not efficient in treating many conditions anyway. we are probably now one of the worst for treatments like cancer. so could it not be simply that the demise of our own healthcare system and not necessarily fully, the fault of covid? >> well, listen , that's going to >> well, listen, that's going to be an absolutely key factor. but i think when we're talking about lockdowns and when we're talking about the covid response, something that unfortunately the inquiry has not touched on, that significantly yet. we need to we need to provide a really, really serious justification for taking people's civil liberties away for such a long period of time.

and when you look at the excess deaths in the uk, the third highest in the seven comparable nafions highest in the seven comparable nations that we looked at, we obviously perform very poorly at a huge cost. but didn't some of those nations do exactly what we're doing? >> if they just had a slightly better outcome? so what we did was very similar to what they did. >> so yes, with france and germany, but the united states operated quite differently. there were some parts of the united states that had quite strict lockdowns, some that didn't particularly look at florida and texas, but actually norway and sweden had comparatively light lockdowns . comparatively light lockdowns. sweden basically didn't lock down at all, and yet it was one of the better performers in terms of excess deaths. >> okay. interesting stuff. thanks very much for joining us. >> really good to talk to you. thank you for that. >> okay. up next, a massive riot has caused chaos in leeds. did you see it overnight. we'll be giving you the latest from there. and also the disruption in whitechapel. was it whitechapel in central london as well. law and order in britain. what's happened to it. this is britain's newsroom on gb news back in the

tick. >> good morning. it's just coming up to 52 minutes after 10:00. this is gb news, britain's news channel with ben, leo and me. nana akua. good morning to you. >> now, a major riot erupted in northeast leeds last night as vehicles were set on fire and a police car was overturned. let's take a look . take a look. obe obe was . obe obe was. >> oh. >> oh. >> meanwhile, there was also disorder in east london as hundreds of men stormed a building . building. >> so the question is this morning, are we living in a lawless britain? mark white, of course. probably the best to man answer that question. what is going on, mark across the

country? >> well, there's certainly pockets of lawlessness in the uk. we know that , certainly. but uk. we know that, certainly. but last night it was very intense up in leeds, more than eight hours, a very significant disorder . we can look at some of disorder. we can look at some of the images there. this began at 5:00 in the evening in luxor street , which is 5:00 in the evening in luxor street, which is in 5:00 in the evening in luxor street , which is in the street, which is in the harehills area of leeds. you can see a group of people gathered there. it was an operation by social services to take some children away for safeguarding reasons. there was resistance from the family, neighbours got involved and then it escalated with actually many more people , with actually many more people, from a few people to dozens to eventually hundreds and actually more than a thousand at the height of the rioting overnight. and they targeted police vehicles. one was overturned. there was a bus from the company, first bus, that was targeted and set on fire. and

the group first bus said that the group first bus said that the driver and the passengers who were on board, that managed to escape unharmed. another bus was also targeted, but you can see from the images there it was bus bonfires on the road, and also the police themselves came under a hail of missiles, bricks and boulders and anything people could find to throw at the police, we've had a statement from the home secretary who says the scenes of criminality and disorder in leeds last night were disgraceful, including attacks on police vehicles and pubuc attacks on police vehicles and public transport, and they were , public transport, and they were, you know, will have been very distressing for local residents and she says that the authorities have our full support. >> okay. mark white, this baffles you, doesn't it? do these people not love their country, their home, their communities? why do you treat your environment like this? well, i'd like to hear why they're fighting because we don't fully know all the details . don't fully know all the details. >> but stay with us. because still to come, we'll be bringing

you the latest on the tech meltdown that has grounded britain today. remember to email us gbviews@gbnews.uk. if you've been affected this is britain's newsroom on gb news >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello, welcome to your latest gb news. weather update a very hot day to come for much of england and wales. cooler elsewhere with cloud arriving from the west, we've still got weather fronts out to the north and west of the uk. they'll make greater progress through saturday, so it's going to turn much cooler through the weekend . much cooler through the weekend. but through this afternoon we'll see cloud building in across parts of northern ireland and scotland. still a warm day though. across eastern areas of scotland in particular. but the sunshine will turn much hazier across western areas of wales. parts of southwest england as well. as we head into this afternoon with some rain arriving into the far north and west of scotland. it's a bit of a breezy day up here as well,

but in the best of that sunshine in the south and east, 31 possibly 32 degrees, it's likely to be the warmest day of the year so far today. looking ahead into the evening, well, there's little change with still some hazy sunshine across much of scotland. still temperatures in the high teens across eastern scotland in the low 20s in the central belt, even across eastern areas of northern ireland. belfast seeing 21 degrees to end the day and the rain should stay away, at least for most of the first part of the evening and a very sunny evening to come. a hot evening, in fact , across many central and in fact, across many central and southern areas of england and parts of wales as well, that will lead us into a very mild night tonight across the east. it's turning a little bit fresher from the west, but i think some of us will notice quite a muggy feel overnight tonight as this cloud really starts to build some drizzly rain moving into parts of wales and southwestern areas of england. so temperatures widely in the high teens for much of england and wales , slightly england and wales, slightly lower teens across parts of scotland and northern ireland, and rain will arrive here by tomorrow morning. now there's a

chance of some very heavy downpours through saturday as we switch into that cooler set up by the end of the weekend, so potentially some thunderstorms . potentially some thunderstorms. heavy showers pushing into parts of wales southwest england and across many north and western areas . ahead of that, though, areas. ahead of that, though, hazy sunshine and temperatures still in the mid to high 20s. see you later. bye bye. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news

earlier after an it glitch sparked widespread outages across the world. these are the scenes live at berlin's schonefeld airport , just one of schonefeld airport, just one of the major transport hubs where flights are now grounded. screens left blank in the departure halls, with hundreds of passengers stranded , waiting of passengers stranded, waiting for any sign of progress on their flights departing. those travelling by rail also being warned about severe disruption with transpennine express reporting that some people are having trouble purchasing their tickets here in the uk. and the glitch is thought to have originated at a cybersecurity firm called crowdstrike. it's also impacting some supermarkets and gp surgeries . crowdstrike and gp surgeries. crowdstrike have said the global it outage was not a security incident or cyber attack , as we just heard cyber attack, as we just heard from charlie peters, and that the issue has been identified with a fix. now being deployed. plenty more on that as it develops with charlie, peters, ben and nana throughout this

morning . in other news, the morning. in other news, the president of ukraine has asked sir keir starmer to show his leadership to and convince other nafions leadership to and convince other nations to remove limits on the use of long—range weapons as he addressed the cabinet. this morning, president zelenskyy's briefed them about ukraine's war and said it is possible to destroy areas in russia where weapons are being concentrated. the uk government has suggested the deployment of british missiles is ultimately a matter for ukraine, as long as international law is upheld. well zelenskyy in the last few minutes has said that he looks forward to working with the new labour government. >> i truly hope that this winning of the new british government's work will open up more share opportunities for us, ukraine and the uk. from the first days of the russian war, our people have felt that britain, your people, would not only stand by us but also help

bnng only stand by us but also help bring victory closer in the us, donald trump says he had god on his side the day that a bullet narrowly missed him during a campaign speech. >> the former president returned to the stage last night for the first time since that assassination attempt, with a speech at the republican national convention. as he formally accepted his party's nomination for president. mr trump recalled that moment that the bullet brushed by his ear before telling supporters he would be a president for all americans. >> i said to myself , wow, what >> i said to myself, wow, what was that ? it can only be was that? it can only be a bullet and moved my right hand to my ear, brought it down. my hand was covered with blood , and hand was covered with blood, and staying with news in the us, barack obama has reportedly told senior democrats that he's concerned over joe senior democrats that he's concerned overjoe biden's concerned over joe biden's ability to win november's election. >> the former president understood to have told colleagues that mr biden's path to victory has now greatly

diminished. and it comes after a report in the new york times suggests he has begun to accept that he may have to drop out of the race, though at least one source close to the president insists he hasn't yet made up his mind. the families of people who died during the covid pandemic, say a report released yesterday into how unprepared the uk was doesn't go far enough.the the uk was doesn't go far enough. the review found the civil service had failed the pubuc civil service had failed the public due to significant flaws in preparations and makes ten recommendations, but loved ones say they want more details on how they can challenge and address and improve capacity of pubuc address and improve capacity of public services . in the last public services. in the last hour or so, we've heard that the government has resumed funding for the palestinian refugee agency, which is run by the united nations. funding was halted by the former conservative government after israel accused some of the agency staff of being involved in the attacks . on october the in the attacks. on october the 7th. foreign secretary, david lammy , though, says the agency

lammy, though, says the agency does now meet the highest standards of neutrality and confirmed britain will resume fresh funding worth around £21 million. the former ceo of royal mail and a former post office minister, are set to give evidence at the horizon inquiry today. dame moya green and jo swinson are being asked about errors in the horizon it system, which led to subpostmasters being wrongly convicted of fraud. it comes after yesterday's appearance by the leader of the liberal democrats at the hearing, sir ed davey, who was the minister in charge of the service between 2010 and 2012. he has apologised for declining a meeting with the campaigner sir alan bates . and campaigner sir alan bates. and finally, a heat health alert in place across parts of england with temperatures is in place rather across parts of england , rather across parts of england, with temperatures expected today to soar to 30 degrees. the east and west midlands, the south east, eastern england and london are all included in the warning, which is in place right through

until 11:00 tomorrow night, with many expected to take to the parks and beaches to enjoy the summer sun. health experts are warning people to take care to dnnk warning people to take care to drink plenty of water and to wear sunscreen, to avoid any heat exhaustion . those are the heat exhaustion. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sam francis. much more still to come. i'll be back with you in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone , sign up to news smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com >> forward slash alerts . >> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> thanks, sam. it's 1107. you're with britain's newsroom on gb news live all across the uk. now the big breaking story this morning is this. it glitch. television channels, banks, airports train stations all around the world, not just in the uk. they've been knocked off line. planes have been grounded, gp appointments delayed , gp appointments delayed, hospital appointments delayed andifs

hospital appointments delayed and it's all due to this massive outage causing windows computers to suddenly shut down. joining us now is our reporter charlie peters, to give us the latest. charlie seems to be escalating this doesn't it . this doesn't it. >> escalating. but the ceo of crowdstrike this platform, this cloud storage platform, which is reportedly involved in the security issue, it provides cybersecurity for those platforms and those services it's delivered a statement just in the last ten minutes saying it's actively working with customers impacted by this defect found in a single content update for windows hosts. so they've delivered a cybersecurity update overnight, an antivirus update, which has led to this widespread windows outage. many people relying on those systems. of course, it is the typical work focused platform and operating system went on to say that mac and linux hosts are not impacted, so this is limited to windows. however, they have stressed in this statement that it's not a security incident, it's not a

cyber attack. we did hear security sources earlier in the day reassuring that that was the case. this wasn't delivered by a hostile actor . and the ceo, hostile actor. and the ceo, george kurtz, said that the issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed. now, how long that fix will take? we don't know, because at the moment, flights grounded , gps unable to be seen grounded, gps unable to be seen by their patients. they can't access records. one london gp saying in the last hour that blood tests and scans aren't able to be seen on their computers. we've also seen other outages and delays in the country with the rail system. schools are telling children to go home or not come into school as well. really it's 11 am. now in england, so it's a bit late to be issuing that message, but we have seen that message being delivered. lots of people sending their kids back home after the outages. they can't access their cloud services at school. and so they've got to got to be sent back. >> so this seems extraordinary . >> so this seems extraordinary. one, i guess. one, a few people deaung one, i guess. one, a few people dealing with this software update overnight has potentially

caused because of their mistake. i mean, i'd estimate i'd guess billions and billions of pounds worth of economic turmoil, but also the human impact, as you mentioned, doctor's appointments, some gps turning people away from visits. this morning as well, just from one rogue software update , one rogue rogue software update, one rogue software update. >> and it does show that technology. it can be a dream when it works, but when it goes awry, these scenarios can happen. we've seen people reverting back to pen and paper in so many of these services. in dubun in so many of these services. in dublin airport, we've seen some footage of a of a departures board essentially being updated by using, pens on whiteboards, which is not something that's been done for a long time. pretty nostalgic. and we'll see your boarding pass in india being written on pen and paper as well. there has been some practice for this , practice for this, unfortunately, in london at least, because four london hospitals had to revert to pen and paper for blood tests a couple of months ago after a major cyber attack impacted third party providers for blood tests. i just want to bring

another update that we've got from the cabinet minister, pat mcfadden, he said. in the last few moments that whitehall crisis officials are now coordinating an output response, he's referring specifically to cobra, the cabinet office briefing rooms , those sort of briefing rooms, those sort of those bunkers where they gather to deliver contingency plans across the civil service and government that's being organised now, he said that whitehall crisis officials are coordinating their response to this major. it outage and that pat mcfadden, the cabinet minister, is in close contact with those teams so we could see a government response later today as well. wow, extraordinary. >> charlie peters , thank you. >> charlie peters, thank you. and it just goes to show our reliance on technology and these juggernaut tech giants, the likes of crowdstrike, who's involved in this situation, amazon web services, another big one. if something happens like a rogue software update, all hell breaks loose. keep letting us know how it's affecting you at home. gb views @gbnews. com i think not least the most popular issue at the moment is paying for groceries and things in the supermarket, at the bakery and so on. having to revert back to

cash. surprise, surprise. who thought we'd need cash? right? let's bring in now travel and aviation expert sally gethin. good morning sally. we've had a flavour this morning of just how it's affecting some people at airports for example, our very own neil oliver, who's trying to fly from edinburgh to london for his show tonight. he's stuck in edinburgh. how long can we expect people like him and other passengers to be delayed, not just at the airports, but on trains and so on? >> right. it's going to get worse before it gets better. so what you're actually going to see in real terms on the ground is congested. terminal buildings very, very busy. because don't forget, it's not just that the airlines it systems have been reliant on this, on the software. it's the fact that ground handling services also rely on it as well. so you know, when all your bags have to be put on the plane, the, the aircraft turnaround, all the support services around that, as you just mentioned, check in and boarding , you just mentioned, check in and boarding, having to resort to manual methods. in many cases,

display boards aren't functioning, so there's a lack of to communication passengers on the ground. and then some airlines like wizz air are saying come three hours early. well, actually, that will build up the congestion at some airports as well. and on a global level, it's impacting airports around the world. so las vegas airport is really badly hit. amsterdam schiphol is badly hit. amsterdam schiphol is badly hit, in the uk, some airports are being more open about the impact than others. so birmingham airport's giving very good updates. but if you are a passenger and you're stuck even though you might be at the airport, you actually have to go to your airline for assistance. that's the problem. so you can't just expect the airport to, respond to all your queries. it has to be the airline because the airlines responsible for your journey. the airlines responsible for yourjourney. and unfortunately, your journey. and unfortunately, yeah. so of course, i was just going to say, as you alluded to, it's not just britain, it's airports in india, sydney, new

zealand, america, all around the world in terms of the consumer side of things, if people have missed their flights and they're delayed on their holidays, what happens there? >> i mean, a lot of the time from my own experience, airlines like to blame this thing on an act of god, which kind of allows them to wriggle out of it. do you know where they would stand at this point when it comes to this situation? >> well, actually, it's rather an act of humankind, isn't it? because this particular incident, but, you're right that because it's beyond the airline's control, they won't be able to, they won't have the capacity to manage it. so normally, say, if it's an airline strike, then within 14 days you would actually get some compensation. but in this case you won't. they do have an obugafion you won't. they do have an obligation to get you to your destination safely and also provide you with some sustenance like, some basic food and drink and worst case scenario, a hotel. but you might have to have deep pockets in a case like this, because you won't necessarily get get that response as quickly as you might

need. >> yeah, i've had it myself. i'm having my own battle with an airline i won't name, but yeah, indeed, they try their best to wriggle out of it. sally gethin, aviation expert and travel journalist. thanks very much. right. thank you , this situation right. thank you, this situation with the tech disruption and of course all the travel chaos couldn't have come at a worse time because summer is finally here. we've waited long enough for it . temperatures today are for it. temperatures today are in excess of 30 degrees in parts of the country, and that's after a wet start to july. so can we expect a mini heat wave over the next couple of weeks? let's go live now to the roof of gb news towers, where nana akua is basking in the glorious sunshine. nana. what's it like up there ? up there? >> well, i've got one word for you. da da da do do do do do do do do do. >> summer breeze. >> summer breeze. >> oh, it makes me feel fine. it is stunning out here. it's beautiful. listen, if you are, you were planning to jet off somewhere. and obviously the it blip has meant that you can't go just get outside because it's

apparently going to be 30 degrees. they've stopped talking. i haven't seen any scary weather maps of fire, simply because we've had so much rain, and the weather has been so atrocious that dare they should not dare. i know, of course, that the heat. there's obviously danger with too much heat. but you know, we're all sensible people. don't stay out in the sun at midday. protect yourself with sunblock. i wear sunblock factor 50 every single day. drink plenty of water. we know, we know what to do. and if you can. and you are in an air conditioned place, great. but i'm absolutely delighted with this weather. it's my birthday as well and it's always such a good day. and july the 19th. so i'm as pleased as punch. it's a beautiful day. thank god it's here. summer at last, summer at last. >> nana and i'm pretty jealous that you got to go up there. but it is your birthday, so i let you do it. we'll be coming back to you very shortly. but one man, probably, who's not enjoying this balmy weather is jim dale, the meteorologist, who i am pretty sure jim good morning. you're going to tell us that it's our love of fossil fuels and flying and whatever

else that's to blame for this nice weather we've got this morning. >> i'm not going there , ben. i'm >> i'm not going there, ben. i'm not going there. i'm with. i'm with birthday girl. nana, enjoying it rather than , let's enjoying it rather than, let's just say looking over my shoulder at europe, which is, which is roasting parts of greece and turkey, well, in advance of where we are in the uk. look, we're around 28 degrees at the moment, 28 degrees. it'll probably get to 30, 31 degrees. now, if we get there, certainly 31, it will be there, certainly 31, it will be the hottest day of the summer so far. but guess what? guess what? it's on the way out already and not everybody's getting this weather. by the way, the further north and west you go, viewers are who are in scotland, for example. and further west, it's not so hot. so it's not for everybody, but at least it's covered maybe, maybe half of the uk. so that's about where we are tomorrow. big change on the way . tomorrow. big change on the way. so one good day and it's all flopping a big belly flop, yeah. you know it. frontal system

coming in from the west and it will produce some heavy weight rain, thunderstorms. this type of thing. once we're at the backside of that on sunday, i think the next several days actually are not too bad for the most of us. yeah, there'll be a few showers around, but look, 32 degrees for some people is just that bit too hot, to be honest with you. and i'm just being honest about it. that's about where it is. it get that humidity rises and that's the problem. then the humidity within the within the heat, if you like, but i think next week, you like, but i think next week, you know, 22, 23, 24 in the london area, south east, 21 2020 around that for everybody else. >> yeah, i think that's the thing. it is the humidity yesterday it wasn't even really sunny, but i was walking after the show yesterday in the street and i was just dripping with sweat. it was so hot. so we've only got today. then the thunderstorms come tomorrow. i mean, you mentioned summer. we've not had a summer, have we, jim? we've not had a summer. are we going to get one likely before september? october? >> we've already had two times in the london area and into

norfolk. we saw 30 degrees c already. so this is the third time. that's not bad for any summer i know in between. >> sounds like a rubbish summer to me. >> where you go with it? yeah. look, i think we just we've got to see ourselves as what we are. we're a temperate climate. we're on the edge of europe, you know, people who want 40 degrees, they can go to greece, they can go to malta. they can go to turkey and nonh malta. they can go to turkey and north africa and southern spain, because that's where it is, and that will continue for the next week or two while we settle down into our low 20s and feel quite pleasant and happy about it. i think the big rains on apart from tomorrow is over, and i think august hopefully will deliver something that most people can be happy about. >> all right, jim dale, thank you for joining >> all right, jim dale, thank you forjoining us. and thank you for joining us. and thank you for joining us. and thank you for joining us. and thank you for not going down the route of climate alarmism and doom. just let us enjoy. let us enjoy one nice day. thanks, jim. good stuff right now . still to come, stuff right now. still to come, it sounds like we're finally taking action to solve the small boats crisis. or are we? gb news revealed a few days ago a thousand people had crossed the

engush thousand people had crossed the english channel in the days following labour's rise to power. find out what they're doing about it next. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. back in a

tick. hello. welcome back. and welcome back to you, nana. it's. this is britain's news. yeah. really nice. did you. >> did you work out the song that i was doing? summer breeze. >> summer breeze. da da da da. >> summer breeze. da da da da. >> i don't know who sings it or. >> i don't know who sings it or. >> yeah, yeah, well, the isley brothers very, very nice out there. >> they're nice. okay, a bit of a gear change here on britain's news, because we've got some breaking news that another small boat migrant has unfortunately died in the english channel overnight. that says hundreds more make the crossing today. of course, the balmy weather making it a good opportunity for that journey. >> well, gb news believes that the victim was a sudanese woman drowned after the massively overcrowded boat that she was in began sinking in french waters just before 1:00 this morning. >> okay, thoughts with those

people, unfortunately, who succumbed to the channel. we're joined now by author amy nicole turner and political commentator emma webb in the studio. thank you for coming back. welcome >> right. well, i think we should start because of this tragic news with regards to a migrant has died. i'm going to start with this one. border force took migrants rescued from the channel back to france the first time on thursday, as the prime minister said he wants an asylum seeker returns deal with europe. is this not a better way of sending people back so that they don't actually make the crossing in the first place? >> yeah , i think it points to >> yeah, i think it points to the fact that we need to cooperate more with the french, more so than just giving them £54 million and hoping that they put more border force, more surveillance, that type of thing. but the french have been offering time and time again that we can process claims in france , and that would stop france, and that would stop people making this journey. at present, we are saying no to that. >> didn't rishi sunak gave about 500 million to the french and part of that deal was to have a processing centre that would be in france . i mean, that in france. i mean, that subsequent government has been

no, our government has time and time again said that we will not process claims in in france, and we will continue to take on. >> i think it's about three nationalities. so we don't have the safe and legal routes. so france, there was money. our government has said that we will not process claims in france, particularly from places like sudan. that's where the lady who lost her life for starmer isn't doesn't seem to have plans to process them in france. so i know i'm completely critical of all government approaches because until they open up safe and legal routes for people from the likes of sudan, this will continue happening . continue happening. >> i but look safe and legal routes are all very well. you just have loads more and more people coming, but i don't think it'll stop people crossing the channelin it'll stop people crossing the channel in that way. i don't believe that. no, i agree, we use the safe and legal routes as we've set up, but there aren't safe and legal routes. but there are other ways of getting people will still do it, particularly those who are up to no good, >> so i think actually there's a bit of spin on this story because it looks like, oh, we've got labour government. this is a

good optimistic, you know, cause for optimism. they sent the boat back to france. yes. i think it would be a very good thing for every boat that crosses to just be sent back to france. or if we have documentation for them. but of course, they throw that away to send them back to their country of origin. yeah, however, the reason why they could do this was because the boat was in french waters. what we need to be able to do is to send them back when they are in british waters. so this isn't that makes this this doesn't this doesn't mean. >> why does it make no sense ? >> why does it make no sense? >> why does it make no sense? >> because what are you going to then? they're detaining hundreds of people in inhumane conditions indefinitely. the australians know, didn't they? there are plenty of people in detention just off of australia . if you just off of australia. if you pushit just off of australia. if you push it back to france. >> hang on a minute. that's not true. australia put them in very sturdy lifeboat style vessels, set them to offshore processing centres, papua new guinea. what do you mean? yeah. >> where they still are. well, people are still in those detention centres anyway. if you pushit detention centres anyway. if you push it back to france, then you push it back to france, then you pushit push it back to france, then you push it back to france, then you push it back to france, then you push it back to italy. then you push it back to italy. then you pushit push it back to italy. then you push it back to italy. then you

push it back to italy. then you push it back to libya. when does it stop? yeah. >> why not? at the moment. >> why not? at the moment. >> because. because we take we take 1% of the world's refugees. we are 20th in europe at taking asylum seekers. why don't we play asylum seekers. why don't we play our part and accept a few more people that we can, and we're able to do . we're able to do. >> but still, that doesn't stop the people crossing the channel. that's all very well. that's all very nice. we can take more people legally. >> actually, it would stop people crossing the channel. >> i think you're very wrong. the kind of people who are crossing the channel, a lot of them are. maybe they've done something bad. they do not want. they may. >> well, maybe they're from sudan. like the woman that's just lost their life. >> they're using criminal means to get here. the criminal gangs. i mean, let's be honest here. it's a people trafficking thing that people are dying doing. and you are condoning it. >> no i'm not. i'm saying we should process people in france so they don't have to take the journey. i'm saying open, safe and legal routes so they don't have to take the journey. we're offering asylum to three nations at the moment. that's why people are getting on the boat. >> it might make a tiny dent in people crossing, but it's not going to stop the problem. and i think, you know, we've seen in the situation that's been

unfolding in our cities, i mean , unfolding in our cities, i mean, there were two, effectively two riots last night. we can't even secure our cities and we can't secure our cities and we can't secure our cities and we can't secure our borders. it's an unacceptable situation. but the point i think about this story is that it's not really it's not a reason for optimism because it is . it's a one a reason for optimism because it is. it's a one off that a reason for optimism because it is . it's a one off that they've is. it's a one off that they've managed, that they've sent this back to france because it was in french boat was so poor that they couldn't push it all the way. >> but they wasn't really if it's in french waters, it goes to france. >> if it's in british waters, it comes to britain. so we need to be able to send boats back that even, even all the way up to reaching our shores, we find them on a dover beach. we send them on a dover beach. we send them back to france. that's what we need to do. i don't know why, because otherwise we don't have secure borders ability. >> why is france more responsible than us? because we have a global responsibility. surely, as one of the richest countries in the world, we're one of the we have a responsible, you know, we have a responsibility to poverty across the united kingdom. >> we are there's a homeless engush >> we are there's a homeless english british veterans on the street. >> that's got nothing to do with that, got to do with anything. we at the moment, we don't

really take the number of migrants that one is presented by the mainstream media. i think last year we took doesn't take any. but but japan takes no migrants. so let's take the example. economies as well. i don't know if we take the example of the woman from sudan who lost her life. do you think she did not deserve to claim asylum here in the uk? we don't know. >> we have i don't know, we don't know. >> you don't know? >> you don't know? >> no, we don't know. >> no, we don't know. >> but the bottom line is this. by by >> but the bottom line is this. by by this soft, soft touch, you're actually indirectly you are perpetuating it. that's what's happening with this sort of mindset. the mindset that if you arrive somewhere that you shouldn't be, you'll be sent back. >> why shouldn't you be not about economics, it's about security. >> i shouldn't dup, but they shouldn't get on the boat. >> but you have. you have. according to international law, you have the right to claim asylum in a safe country. >> you don't have the right to cross the channel >> so it's not. >> but you also don't have the right to cross the channel. yes you do. it's illegal. no no, that is. >> but you also have is illegal. >> but you also have is illegal. >> you also have a moral obugafion >> you also have a moral obligation to protect your citizens. it's not about

economics, it's about security. so even despite the very legitimate argues about supply and demand and whether or not we can accommodate these people, which clearly we can't with nhs pubuc which clearly we can't with nhs public services, all of this other stuff, the fact that we're paying other stuff, the fact that we're paying so much of taxpayer money in order to house these people, when we have our own people who are homeless on the streets, we have a moral obligation and the government has a moral obugafion government has a moral obligation to the citizens of this country. we should be able to secure our borders. we are a joke as a country if we cannot secure. >> if you took the migrants that came last year and are waiting to be to have their claims processed, which is a massive problem, they shouldn't be waiting for that long. the population will go up by about 0.04, but that is not crisis. thatis 0.04, but that is not crisis. that is not a national security threat. it's a joke to suggest as much . as much. >> sorry, you say that sort of crisis depends. if you're on a housing waiting list. it depends if you are trying to get a gp appointment, it depends where you are and what you're doing. hold on, let me finish there. now the labour government has said they're going to do 1.5 million new homes, and it will be given to people on basis of need. well i would put to you

that somebody who's a migrant has come to this country will probably go ahead of the queue. >> you're talking about. we're talking about illegal migration. that makes up 5, but it doesn't matter what percentages because you don't know who's coming in ehhen >> but but it takes a small percentage of people to do a bad thing. >> but you're talking about housing lists. you're talking about the nhs, you're talking about the nhs, you're talking about impact it all. >> but that's what i was saying. >> but that's what i was saying. >> it's not at all. but the numbers are tiny. >> yes. those arguments are legitimate. but it's not about that. it's about security. and it takes one person. >> great conversation. fascinating. and our thoughts with the person who has died unfortunately in the channel. but we're going to have to throw to the news now. sam francis has your news bulletins. >> very good morning to you. it's just coming up to two 11:32. the top story this morning. banks, businesses, planes and trains around the world have been knocked offline after a major it outage believed to have been caused by a faulty update to widely used cyber security software. these are the scenes live at berlin's

gb news. >> right. it's 1150, a major riot erupted last night. i'm sure you've seen on social media in north east leeds as vehicles were set on fire and even a police car was overturned. and a bus as well. there was shocking footage of a bus being set alight. so the question being today, are we living in lawless britain? >> well, our reporter at yorkshire and humber reporter hannah riley is in leeds. for us this morning. so anna, can you give us an update on what's happened and do we have any more detail on why these riots took place ? yes, yes . place? yes, yes. >> well we're here now on foundry approach. just off harehills lane in harehills in leeds. you may be able to see behind us the remains of a burnt out double decker bus that was set alight by rioters last

night. a police cordon still remains in place. you can see there's several officers that still are surrounding the area. we understand a clean up operation is set to go on throughout the day, but what we do know is that this, rioting first started at 5:00 yesterday. one of the streets nearby to where we are now. and it all happened when police came to remove four children from a home on behalf of social services. and that's when other people came out on the street and started this riot pictures emerged of a police vehicle that had been overturned. another police vehicle that was parked up was then set upon by rioters. some of them young children as well as adults getting involved , well as adults getting involved, throwing scooters and bricks and actually smashing through car doors. later on, as the night

but in the best of that sunshine in the south and east, 31 possibly 32 degrees, it's likely to be the warmest day of the year so far. today looking ahead into the evening, well, there's little change with still some hazy sunshine across much of scotland. still temperatures in the high teens across eastern scotland, in the low 20s in the central belt , even across central belt, even across eastern areas of northern ireland. belfast seeing 21 degrees to end the day and the rain should stay away, at least for most of the first part of the evening and a very sunny evening to come. a hot evening in fact, across many central and southern areas of england and parts of wales as well, that will lead us into a very mild night tonight across the east. it's turning a little bit fresher from the west, but i think some of us will notice quite a muggy feel overnight tonight as this cloud really starts to build some drizzly rain moving into parts of wales and southwestern areas of england. so temperatures widely in the high teens for much of england and wales, slightly lower teens across parts of scotland and northern ireland, and rain will arrive here by

tomorrow morning. now there's a chance of some very heavy downpours through saturday as we switch into that cooler set up by the end of the weekend, so potentially some thunderstorms . potentially some thunderstorms. heavy showers pushing into parts of wales southwest england and across many north and western areas . ahead of that, though, areas. ahead of that, though, hazy sunshine and temperatures still in the mid to high 20s. see you later. bye bye. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb
