just at the time when we can't leave the ground. my son was on a school trip today, grounded at heathrow airport to berlin. couldn't leave. he had to come home. did it affect you? did it ruin your vacation? let me know. also last night nigel farage said the politics of the subcontinent had arrived in leeds. we saw those buses being set on fire, bins being set on fire. the roma community, the asian community seemingly battling with each other. do you think is right or do you think he's inflaming tensions? get in touch all the usual ways. gbnews.com forward slash your say get involved. i'll read out the comments before the end of the comments before the end of the show. but now it's your headunes the show. but now it's your headlines with sophia wenzler. >> martin thank you. good afternoon. it's 3:02. >> your top story from the gb newsroom cybersecurity firm crowdstrike says it's working to fix the defect in an update for

users of microsoft windows software, which has sparked a global it outage, flights at many of the world's airports have been grounded since early this morning, with airlines unable to complete check ins. banks supermarkets, gp clinics and even major tv and radio broadcasters are among the many who've been knocked off line. those travelling by rail are also affected, with transpennine express, thameslink and southern among the many who've reported disruption . crowdstrike ceo says disruption. crowdstrike ceo says the issue is not related to a security incident or cyberattack, but cabinet office minister pat mcfadden says it shows the vulnerabilities of the digital age. >> this incident shows is just how dependent we are on it systems and when something like this happens, how fast and how widespread the effects are, the reassuring thing in this case is that it's not a hostile act, it's not a security attack . the it's not a security attack. the cause has been identified and it's really important because we're so reliant on these

systems that the fix is put in place as soon as possible. >> journalist evan gershkovich has been sentenced to 16 years behind bars after a russian court found him guilty of espionage . the wall street espionage. the wall street journal reporter has already been held at a moscow prison for 16 months on charges of spying, prosecutors say the 32 year old was caught gathering secret information for the cia, though no information to back up the allegations has been made public. responding to news of the sentence moments ago , prime the sentence moments ago, prime minister sir keir starmer says journalism isn't a crime and called for his immediate release . called for his immediate release. one person has drowned after an overcrowded migrant boat began sinking in the english channel overnight. the woman, believed to be from sudan , died and 86 to be from sudan, died and 86 people have been rescued by a french patrol vessel. but those on board initially refused help. an hour later, the boat deflated, throwing many into the water. rescue teams attempted to

resuscitate the woman, but she died at the scene. she is the sixth migrant to drown in the channelin sixth migrant to drown in the channel in just a week . donald channel in just a week. donald trump says he'll bring back the american dream if he returns to the white house and he took to the white house and he took to the stage for the first time since the assassination attempt . since the assassination attempt. speaking at the republican national convention, the former president formally accepted the nomination to be the party's candidate in november's election. he also told supporters about last weekend's assassination attempt , saying he assassination attempt, saying he saw blood everywhere when he was shot at during the rally. former wrestler hulk hogan, who also made a speech called mr trump a hero, are you crooked ? hero, are you crooked? >> politicians need to answer one question, brother . what you one question, brother. what you gonna do when donald trump and all the trump maniacs run wild on you, brother ? yeah on you, brother? yeah >> meanwhile, barack obama has

reportedly told senior democrats that he's concerned over joe biden's ability to win november's election. the former president is understood to have told colleagues that mr biden's path to victory was greatly diminished. it comes as a report in the new york times suggests president biden has begun to accept that he may have to drop out of the race, though at least one person close to mr biden insists he's not yet made up his mind. a widespread police cordon is in place in a leeds suburb after violence erupted in hares hill . vehicles were set ablaze hill. vehicles were set ablaze and a police car overturned late last night, with residents warned to stay indoors as helicopters and a large police presence responded to the chaos. it's understood the riots were unked it's understood the riots were linked to local children being taken into care . west yorkshire taken into care. west yorkshire mayor tracy brabin condemned what she's described as the violent and thoughtless actions , violent and thoughtless actions, promising a thorough investigation . health alerts are investigation. health alerts are investigation. health alerts are in place across the country as the summer sun brings welcome

widespread the effects are. the reassuring thing in this case is that it's not a hostile act, it's not a security attack. the cause has been identified and it's really important because we're so reliant on these systems that the fix is put in place as soon as possible . place as soon as possible. >> well, what a pickle. and let's get now the latest from gb news national reporter charlie peters. charlie, welcome to the show. so the millennium bug came 24.5 years too late . flights 24.5 years too late. flights grounded, doctors appointments thrown to chaos . we can't even thrown to chaos. we can't even pay thrown to chaos. we can't even pay for our groceries at some supermarkets. what happened? is it over? and will it happen ' 7 m. again? >> well what happened? well, overnight crowdstrike, which provides cybersecurity support to cloud technology cybersecurity services, updated its clients with a 41 kilobyte software update, a tiny run of code. but unfortunately, that code. but unfortunately, that code contained a small bug which bncked code contained a small bug which bricked millions of systems and

caused this widespread outage, which has affected airports, hospitals , even police forces hospitals, even police forces around the world, with many of them facing what is known as the blue screen of death, where you have a blue screen on your system but you can't access it and it does not respond to any input. and it does not respond to any input . now, and it does not respond to any input. now, in and it does not respond to any input . now, in the last five input. now, in the last five minutes, you've had a statement from ryanair , which that they from ryanair, which that they are asking all customers to leave any airports where they are waiting for delayed or cancelled flights. as we're showing some pictures now of airports across the uk where people have been waiting several hours with little information. one airport in dublin they showed information on a whiteboard for upcoming flights, but it's that 41 kilobyte software update that caused this crisis, the ceo of crowdstrike said on air. this morning that he was deeply sorry for the disruption it's affected, primarily microsoft users. the windows operating system has been affected , mac and linux not

been affected, mac and linux not impacted by that code. microsoft said that a third party failure had caused this issue. it said that it had found a solution to its own issues. crowdstrike later also said that they deployed a fix to target the problem that arrived overnight, but it's unclear how long that's going to take. how long is that fix going to be running before all of those customers are back up and running? all of those customers are back up and running ? well, up and running? well, crowdstrike say that they are working with all of their customers to get them back online. some are enjoying an automatic return to the services, but many more are requiring that manual reboot. we saw this morning some engineers, some computer engineers saying that they were directly rebooting their systems. even with this deployed fix being used by crowdstrike. and what's the human impact of that? well, we've already mentioned those airports. we've seen some footage just now of queues outside edinburgh airport, but also this is affecting people waiting to see their gp. all the

majority of nhs england gps are affected by this situation, but in many ways britain's been quite lucky because while there's been delays to access to see doctors around the world, we've had operations cancelled in germany and 9/11 systems. the emergency line in alaska going down. this has caused a major global worldwide outage . global worldwide outage. >> astonishing stuff and an excellent summary. as ever . excellent summary. as ever. charlie peters, thank you very much for joining charlie peters, thank you very much forjoining us on the show much for joining us on the show and to move this conversation on, i can now speak with cyber security advisor megha kumar, who works for cyber security consulting business ci . xl. consulting business ci. xl. welcome to the show. it seems astonishing that this kind of thing could happen of our own volition. it feels like a cyber attack. this is the kind of thing we would promised all those years ago with the millennium bug y2k. how on earth can something this major happen ? can something this major happen? >> thank you very much for having me. yes indeed. this is a very serious issue. i think, this kind of a crisis was

actually a long time coming. and that's for two reasons. one, because there is excessive competition, in the cybersecurity market, but that has still , not prevented, the has still, not prevented, the concentration of the market among a very small select group of it companies. so crowdstrike is a market leader in anti software services, across the world. and microsoft, you know, together with google and aws , together with google and aws, really dominates the cloud space. so what you have, in a context like this is that there is a single point of failure right at the top of the supply chain and everything goes down. it is, you know, if i had to give you a simple analogy, it would be saying that if your heart pacemaker is malfunctioning or disrupted or out of commission for any reason, it really doesn't matter what the rest of the body is going to do. >> that's an astonishing, similarity there. the problem with that, of course, is that the beating heart of the world now is technology, and it really

makes you realise, may god, that we're so dependent on it for everything, for shopping, for medicine, for travelling, for the everyday life. do you think that the reputation of crowdstrike now is utterly obliterated? >> i think, the reputational damage of this incident is going to be serious for both crowdstrike and microsoft. and, you know, that cost is already affected, is already reflected in the hit they've taken on their share price. but i think their share price. but i think the longer term costs might be more serious. still. you know, a lot of, intermediaries, for example , insurers, encourage example, insurers, encourage companies small and large to go with these providers because they are market leaders. they have a strong reputation up until now, in this space. and if these intermediaries, raise questions about the reliability of, the services provided by these market leaders, then the impact is going to be much more serious. and the other thing

that could that's worth watching and that could affect these companies, is whether there has been , data loss, you know, under been, data loss, you know, under gdpr of the eu and the uk, data breaches can be about the confidentiality of data. its integrity or its availability . integrity or its availability. and as your colleague just mentioned, a lot of, primary health care facilities across the nhs have reported not being able to access patient data . so able to access patient data. so data availability can also be, a breach under gdpr. and that in turn, you know, has both reporting and regulatory obugafions. reporting and regulatory obligations . so, the these obligations. so, the these companies have a serious, problem ahead and mega down to the personal level, my son was on his first school trip today. >> he was actually on the aircraft at heathrow due to to fly berlin, sat there for one houn fly berlin, sat there for one hour. they had to get off the entire airport. we can see pictures on our screen now. entire airport in total lockdown, nobody able to get

anywhere. in terms of the knock on impact of that , presumably on impact of that, presumably people will be able to claim all their travel insurance . will the their travel insurance. will the insurers be going after crowdstrike? i mean, millions if not billions of pounds worth of damage has been done to the british economy alone. does the buck stop with crowdstrike? >> i think who the buck will ultimately stop with will be a matter for the regulators to, decide. so far, we don't have any reports that the confidentiality of the data, has been breached. so they're they're so far safe on that. we don't know whether the integrity of the data have been compromised. by which i mean that, systems that were, that became operational may still have been left open, which creates a possibility of hackers to access that data. and i've already mentioned the data availability issues. so once these issues are taken into consideration by the data regulatory watchdogs, then there is going to be an evaluation on on on on breach and whether the

liability will sit with one of the two companies involved or it will be distributed . will be distributed. >> and do you think people, overseas hostile agents, hostile powers, we often talk about the chinese, the russians. they must be looking at this and think this is beyond our wildest dreams. you know what they've achieved against us so far has been a tea party compared to this. but will they be looking on megan and thinking, right, here's the achilles heel. here are the weak points . and will are the weak points. and will this self—inflicted damage, if you like , by a data company, you like, by a data company, allow those who would wish to cause of damage from overseas to see the way of getting the trojan horse in and causing us harm ? harm? >> i think that is a fair concern in that, criminal hackers and state link hackers, you know, in recent years have really gone after the supply chain of it companies such hackers, you know, if they want to get access to sensitive data , to get access to sensitive data, they figured out that no point trying to breach 150 companies,

just go after the one supplier that serves these 150 companies, and you'll get access to a much ficher and you'll get access to a much richer trove of data. i think, you know, cybersecurity can never be 100% foolproof, but defensive strategies are, nonetheless extremely important, you know, so far, technological adoption, has been driven by, you know, a desire for efficiency , automation, cutting efficiency, automation, cutting costs, but not enough people have paid attention to the resilience of these technologies. when they do fail, when they do get disrupted, or when they do get disrupted, or when they do get disrupted, or when they become a problem in and of themselves. so we need companies to think a lot more seriously about legal resilience. so they're on the right side of law and regulations of operational resilience, so that you know, like the companies you mentioned, travel insurers or airlines have the capacity and the people and the skills to, you know, have a contingency plan in place if there is a crisis of some kind and also security resilience. i mean,

this goes back to the question you asked, bad actors use the same tech, the same systems, the same tech, the same systems, the same tools. we have available and the barriers to misusing technology is falling constantly. so you need robust cybersecurity, resilience, you know , in short, it's not good know, in short, it's not good enough to just have great tech and use it. well, it is equally important that you have a peacetime non—crisis time, disaster recovery plan in place so that you can avoid the kind of, damages that the economy has seen in different sectors have seen. and so that you can also avoid such a disruption to then become a window for criminal actors. >> excellent summary. thanks for keeping it simple and to easy understand. it's much benefited myself. that's megha kumar, who works for the cyber security consulting business sza. does it make you wonder how dependent we are on technology, we we're phasing out cash. we're phased out our landlines, we're phasing

>> hi there. i'm michelle dewberry, and i'm going to take a second to tell you all about my show. dewbs& co. we start off with the issues of the day. we then bring in both sides of the arguments. we get rid of the disrespect , and then you throw disrespect, and then you throw me into the mix. and trust me, i'll tell it exactly how it is. and then of course, the magic ingredient you. at home, we mix it all together. and what have we got? in my opinion, the best debate show in town monday to friday, six till seven on gb news. britain's news channel . news. britain's news channel. >> welcome back. it's 3:25. i'm martin daubney on gb news now a little later on we'll head to the seaside as the uk is experiencing its hottest day of the year with temperatures maxing out at 31.2 c in west london, we'll be heading to skeggy , where i grew up on the skeggy, where i grew up on the coast. just how are us brits coping with this short lived heat wave? moving on. several

people have been arrested after a night of violence in leeds. police cars were overturned and pubuc police cars were overturned and public transport were set on fire, with residents were warned to stay at home in the suburb of harehills. and joining us from the scene now is our reporter anna riley. anna, welcome to the show. astonishing scenes last night, looking everything like civil meltdown. anna riley, are you with us? anna, welcome to the show. so astonishing scenes last night looking like it's civil war in process. it looks like very much. now we have the cleanup of the night before. here's anna riley stepping. anna, the clearing, the scene there. now, the bus behind you has been cleared away. tell us, what's the mood like on the ground after a night of anarchy? >> yes, martin. i'll just step out of frame so you can see. as you can see behind me, a lot of cleanup efforts going on. there's been a jcb that's removed. most of this burnt out

bus that was torched last night in this riot that involved up to a thousand people. you can actually see. i don't know if our cameraman can show us, but it's actually destroyed the tarmac and the road below. so council workers now are digging away what remains of the tarmac and the remains of the burnt out buses also to be taken away. we know that so far several arrests have been made by police. they've issued another statement today in which they've said they will leave no stone unturned, unturned and they expect to make more arrests. this comes after an incident that broke out at 5:00 yesterday in the harehills area, where we are now, in which social services were called out to remove a number of children from a home. police were then contacted by social services when they were met with aggression, but then the police were then targeted when they

intervened and that ended in a large scale riot. we can see pictures across social media that were shared throughout the night. it went for on a number of hours, up to eight hours. people setting light to the bus behind us. they were also overturning a police car using rocks and scooters and other missiles at a police car to break through the windows, and the police said that they felt that they were a target and that they had to temporarily retreat when those missiles were thrown at them. but it just escalated throughout the evening . and of throughout the evening. and of course, this has been condemned widely. the action of these rioters, including by the home secretary, yvette cooper , who secretary, yvette cooper, who said that she'd do everything in her power to give the police support in this ongoing incident. it's also been condemned by the mayor of west yorkshire, tracy brabin, and police say their investigations are continuing,

police say their investigations are continuing , with police say their investigations are continuing, with a police say their investigations are continuing , with a lot of are continuing, with a lot of that material being shared online. they're searching also for cctv to find those culpable . for cctv to find those culpable. we've also been out speaking to residents and business owners here this morning in the aftermath of what went on, and i spoke to robert, he was a resident who was out to buy some milk , and this is what he told milk, and this is what he told us. he saw just loads of people. >> i just followed the things other police coming up and they were just, a van was pulled up. they dragged the guy out. i don't know if he'd got out himself, but they opened his van through fridges , cardboard, through fridges, cardboard, anything they could find people , anything they could find people, wheelie bins, i mean, and they were just full. >> you know what i mean? >> you know what i mean? >> just throwing stuff, cheering. i mean , just mayhem. cheering. i mean, just mayhem. >> just mayhem. >> just mayhem. >> so the bus and throwing stuff at the bus. but i went up the road to go and get my milk. sorry. yeah so as i'm walking down i see a plume of smoke from this direction. really dark smoke and people saying the bus

is on fire. >> robert, they're sharing his experiences of what happened last night, going on into the midnight hours. and also we've been speaking to other residents as well. we spoke to one business owner earlier. he said when he saw what had emerged on social media of what was happening here, he feared for his business as we heard robert describing there one business being targeted, a van with people pulling fridges off. he was worried about his business. i also spoke to another man who lives in harehills. still, he grew up here and he told me that he feels this area is a no go zone now. he said that he fears for his safety and for the safety of his family, but we can still see here, obviously, this ongoing cleanup effort that is still a large police presence. police have been out reassuring locals, speaking to locals and as we have more information on

this, we will bring it to you. martin >> okay, anna. ronnie, thank you very much for that update on the scene there. there's a huge amount of questions need to be asked about this astonishing scenes of a multicultural area . scenes of a multicultural area. seemingly the factions within that community at odds with each other. the police have issued to my knowledge, no condemnatory statement yet. they'd have been straight in. if this, for example, was a protest outside a migrant centre in dublin or in liverpool, they'd be called far right. they'd be called extremists. if those protesters were white working class football fans, they'd have been straight in with the batons. there were scenes last night of the police running away from this incident. what does that say to these troubled causes? nigel farage waded in, saying the politics of the subcontinent are currently playing out on the streets of leeds. don't say i didn't warn you. that led a labour mp, alex sobel, to said this is a situation you know nothing about. you're inflaming a situation with misinformation

throughout the rest of this show . throughout the rest of this show. are we talking to top coppers to ask them, is this two tier policing? what can we do about it? i speak to dame andrea jenkyns, until recently an mp in the leeds area, for her insight was this a powder keg waiting to happen?is was this a powder keg waiting to happen? is this a glimpse into a broken britain? can we expect to see more of this in the future, unless we radically change the way we police our fractured communities? there's lots more still to come between now and 4:00, we'll be bringing you all the latest as channel crossings continue, and we can expect many, many more as the warm weather continues into the foreseeable future. in fact , foreseeable future. in fact, we've got some exclusive footage coming right your way of boats still rolling in to dover as we speak. the first is time for your latest news headlines with sophia wenzler. >> martin. thank you. i'm sophia wenzler with your headlines from the gb newsroom at 330 as a

global it outage continues, cybersecurity firm crowdstrike say they're actively working to fix a defect in microsoft windows. flights at many of the world's airports have been grounded since early this morning, with airlines unable to complete check ins. thousands of gp practices across england have also been affected, as well as banks, trains and broadcasters. the government has held an emergency cobra meeting to discuss the problem. crowdstrike ceo says the issue has been identified and it's not a security incident or a cyber attack. a woman believed to be from sudan drowned after an overcrowded migrant boat got into trouble in the english channel overnight. 86 others were rescued by a french patrol vessel at around 1:00 this morning. they were all taken to calais . the american journalist calais. the american journalist evan gershkovich has been sentenced to 16 years in jail after a russian court found him guilty of espionage. prosecutors say the 32 year old was caught

gathering secret information for the cia, though no information to back up the allegations has been made public. president biden says he's committed to bringing evan home. donald trump pledged to bring back the american dream as he took to the stage last night to formally accept the republican nomination for president. speaking for the first time since he narrowly avoided an assassination attempt, the former president at first struck a unifying tone, promising to lead for all americans, but he soon ventured off his prepared script, accusing his political opponent of cheating in what was the longest presidential acceptance speech since records began. for the long haul . meanwhile, barack 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 president biden has begun to accept that he may have to drop out of the race, though at least one person close to mr biden insists he's not yet made up his mind. those are the latest gb

>> i'm patrick christys every weeknight from 9:00, i bring you two hours of unmissable, explosive debate and headline grabbing interviews. >> what impact has that had? >> what impact has that had? >> we got death threats and the bomb threat and so on. as time passes, she could have said, storm, you made my argument for me. >> my guests and i tackle the issues that really matter with a sharp take on every story went everywhere. >> something practical could be done, or i can become something different. >> patrick christys tonight from 9 pm. only on gb news, britain's news channel .

britain's news channel. >> welcome back. it's 339. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. another small boat migrants has died in the channel overnight as hundreds more make the crossing today. gb news believes the victim was a sudanese woman drowned after the massively overcrowded boat she was in began sinking in french waters just before 1 am. a number 10 spokeswoman has said it is a tragedy that yet another life has been lost, and the prime minister spoke to such an incident just yesterday. we're joined now in the studio by gb news political correspondent olivia utley . olivia, welcome to olivia utley. olivia, welcome to the studio. yesterday at blenheim palace, sir keir starmer was adamant a new deal would be done with european partners. smashed the gangs very much. the central message , much. the central message, olivia, the gangs haven't been listening. almost 500 landed today, taking the tally to almost 2000 since the keir starmer was elected prime

minister just two weeks ago. like rishi sunak before him, can sir keir starmer ever stop the boat? >> well, this is a really, really tricky issue for any prime minister, but perhaps particularly this labour prime minister, rishi sunak. obviously did not have great success with stopping the boats. he introduced the immigration migration act last year, which would have, paved the way for the rwanda plan to come into effect. but that plan never actually came into effect. there were all sorts of legal obstacles. after all the parliamentary obstacles were overcome and nothing ever came of it. during the campaign trail, keir starmer said that if he were to be made prime minister, the rwanda scheme would be history. and sure enough, on pretty much day one, he announced that he would not be fulfilling the rwanda plan. so what is going to replace it? well, that's sort of the million dollar question, yvette cooper, the home secretary, said during the home secretary, said during the campaign trail that she would employ an extra 1000 caseworkers in the home office who would, end the sort of

bottleneck of migrants coming through the system by getting through the system by getting through the system by getting through the paperwork quicker. not sure if pen pushers are really going to be enough to manage to stop the boats. the other issue for labour is that laboun other issue for labour is that labour, the labour party, has always maintained that anyone who has a right to come here, anyone who would legally be entitled to asylum in the uk , entitled to asylum in the uk, should be granted asylum in the uk, even if they come here illegally. well, about two thirds of migrants who come across the channel are from countries with very high levels of asylum acceptance rates. if they come in through legal routes, so would it actually be possible for keir starmer to turn many of these people away? if he is saying that anyone should be accepted for asylum, even if they come here illegally? well, you could argue thatis illegally? well, you could argue that is sort of an open invitation for anyone to come to britain . as for smashing the britain. as for smashing the gangs, i mean, that is obviously something that the conservative government before this was very keen to do too. and rishi sunak made all sorts of very expensive deals with the french, which were basically aimed at trying

to break up those gangs to to, stop the stream up source . it's stop the stream up source. it's not as easy as it sounds, and i think this is going to be a really big problem for keir starmer going forwards, particularly as there are plenty in his party who actually don't really think that the small boats problem is a problem at all. they think that if someone is lives in a dangerous country, then they should be welcomed into britain with open arms. >> now , some of those labour mps >> now, some of those labour mps actually want to stop the boats. all of which, if we look on our screens now, we have some exclusive footage that's been sent to us @gbnews. this is boats rolling in all morning. some of these boats having well over 100 occupants. i've just been told more than 400 landed today. the boats still coming in. and olivia, we have conditions in the channel now. more or less like a mill pond for the days ahead. and yet sir keir starmer's solutions are going to take time. more more policy exchange, more data exchange with europol. well, that won't happen overnight. £84

million paid to africa in the middle east on education initiatives to somehow entice or encourage people to stay in those countries. but that won't have any effect on all of those thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants. we've revealed on the show. two days ago, 1.25 million illegal immigrants entered the 27 european member states. last year alone . inexorably, they'll year alone. inexorably, they'll be making their way across the eu now, so initiatives in africa won't have a single piece of impact on any of that. isn't that the problem ? all of this that the problem? all of this sounds great on paper, but it's all going to take too long. >> it is going to take a really long time, and obviously, politically, this is all completely fraught for the new prime minister. he's essentially fighting a battle on two very different fronts. there are now plenty of labour mps who represent constituencies that are on the front line of the immigration problem of constituencies, where people are just arriving in small boats day after day . those people after day. those people desperately want the small boat

crossings to end. meanwhile, on the bibby stockholm you have a situation where migrants are going on hunger strike because of the conditions that they're being kept in, and there are plenty of labor party members, activists, labour party voters who think that these these migrants should be held in better conditions. and actually the bibby stockholm shouldn't be used at all. at the moment, the labour government is saying, well, we've inherited a situation which is so bad i'm afraid we can't see any option but to continue the use of these temporary facilities on places like the bibby stockholm. but it's clear that that that line isn't going to last forever. at some point, the labour party is going to have to come up with a solution for this. so at the same time as trying to stop the thousands of migrants who are hundreds of migrants who are coming in every day, thousands who are coming in every week, the labour party is also dealing with the issue of living conditions for the ones who are already here, and olivia utley . already here, and olivia utley. >> it gives me no satisfaction to say it once again, but the bibby stockholm is the only boat they ever managed to really stop. utterly. thank you very

much for joining stop. utterly. thank you very much forjoining us in the much for joining us in the studio. now coming up, we'll be heading to sunny skegness , where heading to sunny skegness, where ispent heading to sunny skegness, where i spent many a day as a child as the uk experiences its hottest day of the year just how or as weather upsets obsessed brits deaung weather upsets obsessed brits dealing with this mini heatwave, ihope dealing with this mini heatwave, i hope via the mediums of ice cream and beer, i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

to a top copper and a politician. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel. now it's time for your glorious weather with annie shuttleworth. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb news >> good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office through the rest of today. will be feeling very hot into this evening as well. a very mild night to come for much of england and wales. there is a change on the way as we head towards the weekend. weather fronts will push in from the west , introducing considerably west, introducing considerably fresher air but also a spell of wet weather. and that cloud and rain will push into parts of northern ireland, western scotland through this evening. elsewhere, it should stay dry, a bit of cloud spilling into western wales. parts of the south—west as well. but across the south and east a clear night to come and here is where it will stay. mild and humid overnight temperatures perhaps

not dipping down much below 20 degrees. however, from the north and west. as i said, it will turn fresher through saturday once the weather front clears through . that will clear through through. that will clear through the western isles very first thing, but still some heavy rain to come across parts of the highlands. eastern areas of scotland. not seeing the rain till a little later on in the day on saturday. wet weather though, spilling into northern ireland as well as north wales through saturday morning, could see some quite heavy downpours pushing into parts of south wales, as well as devon and cornwall through saturday morning. as well. further east, though, it will be a clear and bright start to the day on saturday, but it will be feeling fairly humid through the day. the sunshine will turn hazier as well for many central and eastern areas of the uk. as this cloud starts to thicken ahead of the band of heavy rain. so heavy pulses of rain to come for parts of wales, the south—west as well as some areas of scotland as well. temperatures cooler tomorrow compared to today, but still across the south and east

we could still reach the high 20s through saturday evening. that rain will continue its journey eastwards, so some further outbreaks of heavy rain at risk for many areas of the uk. but it will turn cooler and much drier as we head into sunday. so sunny spells on sunday. so sunny spells on sunday for many of us. temperatures much closer to average, but further wet weather to come next week. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

and order, get your views in the usual ways. gbnews.com/yoursay natural headlines with sophia wenzler gilded water . wenzler gilded water. >> martin. thank you. good afternoon. it's two minutes past for your top story from the gb newsroom cybersecurity firm crowdstrike says it's working to fix the defect in an update for users of microsoft's windows software , which has sparked a software, which has sparked a global it outage, flights that many of the world's airports have been grounded since early this morning, with airlines unable to complete check ins, banks, supermarkets, gp clinics and even major tv and radio broadcasters are among the many who've been knocked off line. those travelling by rail are also affected, with transpennine express, thameslink and southern among many who've reported disruption. crowdstrike ceo says the issue is not related to a security incident or cyber attack, but cabinet office minister pat mcfadden says it

shows the vulnerabilities of the digital age. >> this incident shows us just how dependent we are on it systems and when something like this happens, how fast and how widespread the effects are. the reassuring thing in this case is that it's not a hostile act, it's not a security attack. the cause has been identified and it's really important because we're so reliant on these systems that the fix is put in place as soon as possible . place as soon as possible. >> journalist evan gershkovich has been sentenced to 16 years behind bars after a russian court found him guilty of espionage. the wall street journal reporter has already been held in a moscow prison for 16 months on charges of spying , 16 months on charges of spying, prosecutors say. the 32 year old was caught gathering secret information for the cia, though no information to back up the allegations has been made public. responding to the news of the sentence , prime minister of the sentence, prime minister sir keir starmer says journalism isn't a crime and called for his

harehills last night. huge tensions, i want to ask you a few questions. first of all, the police response. it seemed to me that the police were very, very standoffish . for example, if standoffish. for example, if that had been a saint george's day parade or that had been football fans, they'd have absolutely been going in with their batons drawn. the police seem to run away. what do you make of the police reaction ? make of the police reaction? >> it's completely agree, martin. >> it was plastic policemen on display last night and it is lawless. leeds >> and what upsets me the most is it shouldn't matter about people's religion or background. everybody should be treated under the same under the rule of law. but that was not the case last night. and also martin, it was meant to have been started , was meant to have been started, apparently because a child social services took a child away. now surely this demonstrates that they made the right decision, because i, for one, would not want a child being looked after with people who are capable of doing this.

>> and it was astonishing to see andrea young children joining in this mob violence, throwing scooters, rocks , caving in scooters, rocks, caving in vehicles, the police just standing off and then it got whipped up, setting to fire a bus and then wheelie bins getting thrown in, reminiscent of complete and utter anarchy. i want to ask you about something else, dame andrea, if i could. and that is, you know, you know the area. you've been a politician in the area for many years. it's not as simple as saying, oh, you know, the, the cultural melting pot of britain. it's one big happy family. you know, as well as i do across yorkshire, across many parts of britain, there are tensions from between the roma community, the asian community. it's not one big happy family as it's painted out by the liberal media, is it? >> no, i mean, my seat was is five miles away. it's the town of morley and outwards. it's a lovely market town, so. but i was a leeds mp and you're so

right. you know it. the multiculturalism is not working and you cannot force people to adapt the british way of life , adapt the british way of life, unfortunately, i mean, i believe in the old adage when in rome, do as the romans do. and the thing is, though, if people are left to get away with this , left to get away with this, which they have been, because we've got a labour west yorkshire mayor, she's been elected for the same second time. martin. she's more focused on race, waving rainbow flags and hate crimes than serious crimes like this . if it was me, crimes like this. if it was me, i would have got the army in there. i would have had the police in riot gear. i would have dragged them off the street to have stopped it escalating. it's appalling behaviour. >> and dame andrea, you raised a fantastic point there. the political response to this has been strangely subdued for example, if there are protests about asylum seeker centres in merseyside or in dublin, the

police and the politicians are straight out to put the boot in to condemn this unacceptable behaviour. this is not the britain we live in. we all stand together. not a peep, not a peep. today >> i completely agree and also, i think an issue is as well that look , starmer is not our new look, starmer is not our new prime minister, has not commented, not all the leeds mps have commented on this, and, you know, trying to really relieve the tension and, and also, i mean, thankfully pretty has come out, speaking and, and showing her concerns. and so as robert jenrick but we're not the party of government, so what what the heck are the party of government doing about it? >> dame andrew, i want to ask you about one politician who did wade in, nigel farage and he tweeted the politics of the subcontinent are currently playing out on the streets of leeds. don't say i didn't warn you. alex sobel, the labour mp for leeds central and headingley, replied very

quickly, saying this the situation you know nothing about your inflaming a situation with misinformation. isn't it funny how nigel farage calling out is inflaming the situation? the situation was already inflamed. the bus was literally in flames completely. >> martin. i mean , i've had, >> martin. i mean, i've had, former constituents contact me about this actually, and you can see i'm away on holiday getting away from it all, and, you know , away from it all, and, you know, politics. but i got dragged in, with constituents contacting me , with constituents contacting me, actually. and if you look at the morley facebook groups, they're saying, actually, what nigel farage is saying that, you know, this is multiculturalism that is not working , unfortunately. and not working, unfortunately. and also with the two tier of policing system, the people are not racist. they're pointing out that everybody should be treated under the rule of rule of law equally. and also no crime should too be small to go and punish martin. we've got to get control . control. >> absolutely. now, nigel farage, on the same topic, dame

andrea, he said last night in an interview, 6 or 7 conservative mps would have kept their seats if they crossed over to reform. ihave if they crossed over to reform. i have to ask you, dame andrea. could that have meant you know. but look , i'm not a traitor who but look, i'm not a traitor who just leaves my party just because i don't like the leader. >> they try to get me to go over in theresa may's time, i'll go down fighting and i don't regret not going over martin. you know, forge out a new life. and who knows, i could be back. but the fact is, i'm a conservative and ihave fact is, i'm a conservative and i have conservative values. leaders come and go, but ultimately, i'm a conservative. >> well, i think a lot of people would like to see you back in politics. dame andrea jenkyns, thank you very much for taking time on your holiday to speak to us here on gb news from crete. all the very best. now moving on back to this breaking news story. transport, banks, businesses and even broadcasters have been brought to a halt

after a global tech meltdown. but the uk government say they are working at pace and firing up its national emergency response. well, let's get now the latest from gb news national reporter charlie peters . reporter charlie peters. charlie, welcome to the show. they're calling it the biggest tech meltdown in history. 24.5 years after we were threatened with the millennium bug, we finally got it. how did it happen? and how can we stop it happening again? >> well, as you say, the biggest tech meltdown for some time at least. and it's come on the biggest day of travel in the uk this year. more flights due to take off today than any other. that's what the press association is reporting now. and as that's going on, this it outage and this meltdown has caused many airports to delay flights and not be able to carry out the normal boarding, booking and scanning processes. seeing many airports reverting back to, pens and whiteboards and writing out manually boarding passes for

customers. now, while that's been going on in the last few minutes, we've also heard from the south central ambulance service. they say that they are experiencing increased demand on their 999 and 111 services due to the global it outage. i think we can't really say what's causing that additional demand on emergency services, but for the 111 services, it seems potential that could be linked to the fact that many gp practices across england are currently severely limited. we did hear this morning from nhs england that several gp's were unable to access key data scans, blood tests and further information on their patients and back onto the travel point. we've also had some 1400 flights cancelled globally, at least 40 of them in britain, but most of them in the united states , where them in the united states, where united american and delta airlines have had their flights blocked a significant day of disruption. and it's all come

from a company called crowdstrike putting out just 41kb of code in a software update overnight. this completely bricked several systems that use windows. the microsoft operating system , mac microsoft operating system, mac and linux users have not been affected by this, but this morning, crowdstrike ceo george kurtz, he said on nbc's today program that the company was deeply sorry and that they had deployed a fix to sort out the situation. meanwhile microsoft said that they had also dealt with the situation on their systems. but the question now is how long will that deployed fix, take to actually sort out these bncked take to actually sort out these bricked and inaccessible systems that have caused so much disruption? for some people, it's as simple as switching it off and on again, or it's an automatic revert to the system working normally. but many other customers are still reporting problems. those that use crowdstrike, a cybersecurity tool for cloud services services you can access on an online

welcome back. it's 423. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. several people have been arrested. just several. after a night of violence in leeds, police cars were overturned and pubuc police cars were overturned and public transport was set on fire, with residents being warned to stay home in the suburb of harehills , where we suburb of harehills, where we head to now and we join our reporter anna riley, who is on the scene of last night's anarchy. anna, the cleanup operation very much underway.

what's the mood on the ground after a night of total chaos ? after a night of total chaos? >> yes, martin. well, people are still understandably shocked and saddened about what happened. that large scale riot that went on for eight hours. it went on into midnight, as you say, with police cars being overturned and with a bus being set on fire. behind us was where the bus was set on fire. where? just on broughton terrace in harehills. you can see now that the majority of that clean up effort has been done . the remains of has been done. the remains of that double decker bus have now been taken away on a jcb. but you can still see the council working there, just sweeping up the rest of the road. it's really destroyed the tarmac, so we've still got a road sweeper going along. if you can see a little bit further as well. behind this police cordon , you behind this police cordon, you can see that people from this

community are still gathered , community are still gathered, you know, nearly 24 hours on from when this first started speaking to police , speaking to speaking to police, speaking to each other, we have heard as well that there's concern something might happen later on tonight. so the police are obviously, understandably trying to speak to residents, trying to make sure that a further disruption like this doesn't happen again. and it has left people here feeling shocked and saddened. one man told me that he feels like harehills is a no go zone . now. another business go zone. now. another business owner i spoke to , he was owner i spoke to, he was concerned about his business and the impact that this would have on that. and another local resident i spoke to, he was out going to buy a pint of milk when it all unfolded last night, and he said he saw the flames. he saw the blaze , he saw officers saw the blaze, he saw officers with riot shields and helmets going in. luckily nobody was injured in this, but it

certainly could have turned a lot worse. and police let out a statement earlier, which they said they felt they had to retreat for when the incident unfolded at 5:00 yesterday. and that was when they went to aid social services in removing children from a home near here due to safeguarding concerns. now, as we have further updates on this martin, we will bring them to you. >> thank you. anna riley, live there from the scene of last night's riot in harehills , and night's riot in harehills, and join me now in the studio to discuss the situation as the former met police detective peter bleksley great friend of the show, peter. eight hours of rioting over a thousand rioters , rioting over a thousand rioters, several arrests and videos of coppers running away from the dangen coppers running away from the danger. dame andrea jenkyns, who until recently was a politician just a short way away from this seat, called it plastic policing. you're an old school, proper copper. how does this sort of policing make you feel

when you see it? >> police officers running away from any situation is never a good look. >> but allow me, if i may, to rewind to what we think is the situation that sparked all of this disorder. >> with children being removed from a home by social workers and police officers, i have very close links to some people who work in social care and believe you me, social workers do not remove children from a home because they want to. it is only ever the last resort because there are serious safeguarding issues. we are yet to find out what they exactly might be, but this wasn't done lightly. nor was the calling in of the police to support them in that . moving to support them in that. moving on to the police. yeah, running away is never a good thing because of course the police so often say we run towards danger. we don't run away from it. from what i saw from various clips, the officers clearly were not

equipped with any public order kit , nato helmets, the crash kit, nato helmets, the crash helmets, as others might commonly call them, shields and the like. there seem to be none of those to hand. why not? >> because if that was at the cenotaph or that was down the qpr or if that was the saint george's day parade, they'd be straight in wearing that saw kit. >> the metropolitan police has what is called the commissioner's reserve, which is vanloads of territorial support group officers, very fit , very group officers, very fit, very well trained in public order with shields and their kit in the van with them invariably . the van with them invariably. clearly the police here did not have that kind of capability. i strongly suspect there will be many, many police officers now as we approach 24 hours after these events, parked up out of sight in vans with all the pubuc sight in vans with all the public order kit ready to go in case it should blow up again . case it should blow up again. and i'm old enough to remember the 1981 riots of brixton. i was there friday night was

skirmishes and the kind of precursor to the real dreadful stuff that happened the following day. i hope there's not a replication of this, but i bet the police are very, very worried and very much ready and peter, how much do you think last night is the symptom of communities looking on, being soft soaped for years, community relations, trying to build those bndges relations, trying to build those bridges but not actually putting the boot down when it's needed. >> you seen young children there caving in police cars. this is despicable behaviour. this is behaviour that shows to me a total and utter disregard for law and order and not only that, but i think a belief that the police won't do anything about it. >> let's tell the truth where senior police officers and many politicians won't. there are no go areas in this country. they'll all deny it . everybody they'll all deny it. everybody in the establishment establishment will say no , no, establishment will say no, no, no, we can go anywhere. that's simply not the fact. there are many areas throughout this

country where the police are simply afraid to do that job. it's been borne out numerous times by all the all the exploitation scandals that we've had of children in rochdale and rotherham and oldham, and the list goes on and on and on. there are places where the police are very much afraid to tread. >> and why? why are they afraid to tread? spell it out. >> senior police officers . it's >> senior police officers. it's appeasement. they don't want a situation like we saw last night. and they think if they police robustly, that might be the result of it. and let's face it, any police officer that has that kind of situation from last night on their cv is probably not going to climb that greasy pole of promotion that they're all so desperate to do. >> you mentioned politics. we've had a change of government, this is labour heartland . they're in is labour heartland. they're in a bit of a pickle, aren't they? because the public are looking on at this peter bleksley and saying, we have to put the boot

down, we have to do something about this. and yet we have police commissioners relying on the votes of these communities. we have politicians relying on the votes . is that another the votes. is that another quandary? we have politicians frozen in the headlights. >> if you ignore a community because you are afraid to go there, you simply will not have there, you simply will not have the sources to tell you what is going on. and if you disengage because you are afraid, is it little surprise if you do get called upon to go to that area, you will be met with hostility. it's no surprise whatsoever. each and every community that claims to be a part of multicultural britain should, by natural extension, welcome police in there to clamp down on lawlessness and crime. but that doesn't happen, peter. >> we've got like 30s left. do you think this is going to get worse before it gets better? >> i sincerely hope not, but let's wait and see. not just in leeds, i mean across britain. oh

well, it's summer and we all know that riots so often kick off during the hot, sweltering summer months. i sincerely hope they don't. but you know what? to a large extent, this nation is a tinderbox. >> peter bleksley sobering words. but look, it's always a pleasure to have your company and your expertise in the studio. former met police detective peter bleksley. thank you very much indeed. there's lots more still to come between now and 4:00, and we'll be bringing you all the latest as channel crossings continue to soan channel crossings continue to soar. and we can expect many, many more as the warm weather continues into the foreseeable future . almost 500 today. taking future. almost 500 today. taking that to 2000 since the keir starmer was elected as prime minister. can he stop the boats? not yet, but first it's your headunes not yet, but first it's your headlines with sophia wenzler. >> martin. thank you. it's 432. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. your top story this hour? cyber security firm crowdstrike says it's working to

fix a defect. in an update on its users, microsoft windows software, which has sparked a global it outage. more than 3000 flights at many of the world's airports have been grounded since early this morning, with airlines unable to complete check ins. banks supermarkets and most gp clinics, and even major tv and radio broadcasters are among the many who've been knocked off line. those travelling by rail are also affected, with transpennine express, thameslink and southern among those who reported disruption. crowdstrike ceo says it's not related to a security incident or cyber attack, but warns it could take some time to fix . a woman believed to be from fix. a woman believed to be from sudan drowned after an overcrowded migrant boat got into trouble in the english channel overnight. five people were pulled from the water and a further 86 others rescued by a french patrol vessel. at around 1:00 this morning. they were all taken to calais. a spokesperson

for number 10 says it underlines the stark reality of how dangerous the crossings are . the dangerous the crossings are. the american journalist evan gershkovich has been sentenced to 16 years in jail after a russian court found him guilty of espionage. prosecutors say the 32 year old was caught gathering secret information for the cia, though no information to back up the allegations has been made public. president biden says he's committed to bringing evan home. donald trump pledged to bring back the american dream as he took to the stage last night to formally accept the republican nomination for president . speaking for the for president. speaking for the first time since he narrowly avoided an assassination attempt, the former president at first struck a unifying tone, promising to lead for all americans, but he soon ventured off script , accusing his off script, accusing his political opponents of cheating in what was the longest presidential acceptance speech since records began. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sophia wenzler more

welcome back. your time is 438. i'm martin daubney on gb news now due to channel crossings

which have taken place today, it means up to 2000 migrants have crossed the channel illegally since the labour government came into powerjust since the labour government came into power just two weeks ago. it will also bring the total number of migrants to make the journey so far this year to 15,500, which is an astonishing 13% higher than the numbers crossing at the same point this time last year. so keir starmer may want to smash the gangs, but it seems that the gangs, well, they're simply not listening. i can speak now with the former chief immigration officer of the uk border force, kevin saunders. kevin, welcome to the show. sir keir starmer wants to smash the gangs. the gangs aren't listening. almost 500 have rolled in today, 2000, since the labour party got into office. we saw another death in the channel last night . saw another death in the channel last night. do you think that this government has any power at all of stopping the gangs? bear in mind they've scrapped rwanda on day one and their plans have

spending £7,084 million. beg your pardon in africa of sharing intel with europol kevin, is that approach going to work? >> probably not. no >> probably not. no >> and i mean the 84 million, which , we're giving to africa is which, we're giving to africa is over three years, so it's not even 84,000,000 in 1 hit, >> and that is supposed to be going to areas that are , in going to areas that are, in trouble so that it can be dealt with in those areas, but that it's not going to make any difference. it really is not what is particularly interesting. >> martin, is the fact that the eu seemed to be looking at some sort of offshoring of asylum seekers rather like rwanda to, which the italians seem to be leading. >> now, that's going to be really interesting if the

europeans do that because of course, the prime minister is trying to get into bed with europe at the moment. >> and kevin, in fact , we broke >> and kevin, in fact, we broke on this channel on this show. in fact, a couple of days ago, the 27 european union member states have their own problem with illegal immigration. 1.25 million was the problem size last year alone. so you're correct to say that the eu itself has a huge issue. kevin, can i refer you to a specific incident ? again, we showed incident? again, we showed exclusively on this show yesterday and i put the video on our screen now, and it was a search and rescue by a british vessel. you can see it there. border force ranger went into french waters, when a craft got into trouble, a dinghy was sinking. and unusually, in fact, the home office said overnight, kevin . uniquely, the british kevin. uniquely, the british vessel took these immigrants in distress back to france. you can see on your screens now that

that vessel is moving back into french waters . this is the first french waters. this is the first time that's happened. now this was put to the prime minister yesterday at blenheim palace. kev and is this new policy ? kev and is this new policy? apparently it's not new policy. it was an operational decision. but kevin saunders could this be one of the ways out of this quandary ? use british vessels quandary? use british vessels for search and rescue, but don't bnng for search and rescue, but don't bring them back to britain. take them back to france. >> right. well, i do know a little bit more now about about what happened yesterday. >> and yes, ranger was, called in to assist with the search operation yesterday. >> and in fact, ranger rescued 13 people, very near the french coast. >> now, i understand that they needed medical treatment, these 13 that ranger rescued and it was deemed that it was quicker

to get them to calais for treatment than all the way back to the uk to dover and then up to, either ch hospital or, ashford hospital . so an ashford hospital. so an operational decision was taken with the french and the british to actually get them into calais so they could get medical treatment much, much quicker. >> so, yes, it was an operational rather than political decision, but do you think kevin saunders well, first of all, is there any appetite to make that a procedural, a policy dnven make that a procedural, a policy driven decision? >> so instead of saying it was an individual case where they needed medical attention and it was better served in a faster time at calais, it should be a blanket decision that if any people coming from france are rescued by british vessels, they should be taken back to france. should that happen, and more to the point, do you think that this government, kevin saunders, has the belly, has the stomach,

the appetite to even go there ? the appetite to even go there? >> well, i mean, this was a very close to the french coast, >> where where this happened. it wasn't in the middle of the channel or on the edge of uk waters. this was deeply in french territory. and the french ianed french territory. and the french invited ranger in to help them out. so it is only natural that they should go back to calais. i think this might might be a one off rather than a regular thing . off rather than a regular thing. unless, of course, something else we have another tragedy, close into the french coast, and we have a vessel on the sort of standby to go in and help . standby to go in and help. >> now, kevin, if you're a people smuggler today, you'd be looking at your weather apps, for the channel. it's a mill pond out there, kev. it's more or less the perfect sailing conditions. you can see pictures on your screen now exclusively sent to gb news boats streaming

ashore. 500 today were expected to land. that's going to continue over the next few days at least. kevin saunders, can you see the numbers coming down any time soon? >> no, they well, while we have this gorgeous weather. no it's not i mean 300 yesterday, 500 today. if the weather holds over the weekend. same sort of numbers over the weekend. the numbers over the weekend. the numbers are going to go up. and to be fair, and i don't like being fair, but to be fair, the home secretary and the prime minister both said the numbers are going to go up, >> the same. >> the same. >> he didn't say that during the election, but there you go , election, but there you go, kevin saunders. >> we seem to have the same conversation many, many times, but i can't see any way out of this any time soon. will the pubuc this any time soon. will the public stay patient for long after two weeks? kevin saunders, the figures are just going up and up and up. kevin saunders, always a delight to have you on the show. thank you very much

for joining us. now, coming up, forjoining us. now, coming up, the biden campaign are insisting the biden campaign are insisting the us president will remain at the us president will remain at the top of the ticket in november, saying there is no plan for an alternative nominee. what does that mean for donald trump? he seems unstoppable. i'm martin daubney on gb news. britain's news channel

>> join me for camilla tominey a frank and honest discussion with those in power . that cut frank and honest discussion with those in power. that cut through the spin and gets to the heart of the issues shaping our nation. you haven't confirmed that you want to stand as leader, but you haven't ruled it out either. >> this report basically says that he's not fit to stand trial. is he indecisive? incompetent? i deliver the dose of reality. westminster needs . of reality. westminster needs. that's the camilla tominey show at 930. every sunday on gb news. the people's channel, britain's news channel . news channel. >> welcome back. time is 449.

i'm martin daubney on gb news now and the usa. the biden campaign is insisting that president joe biden will remain at the top of the ticket in november. in a new leaked memo, it says that voters are still backing him and the party has, quote, no plan for an alternative nominee. now, this is despite reports that members of his family have discussed what an exit might look like and rising concerns over his age. amid recent public political gaffes . well, joining me now to gaffes. well, joining me now to discuss this is professor david dunn, professor in international studies, professor dunn, welcome to the show. the polling looks terrible for joe to the show. the polling looks terrible forjoe biden. he's between 3 and 5 points behind donald trump in every poll. and that's before last night's performance by donald trump. very much back with a bang. the pressure is huge from the obama camp, from george clooney, from

within the democratic party, from previously supportive media. so many people nancy pelosi saying, joe biden, you have to step down for your own good, for the good of the party for and the good of the country. and yet this latest leaked memo says joe biden has simply no plans to stand down. what's your take? >> it really is extraordinary. it seems that biden and those around about him both his close family, his sister, his wife, his son and his close advisers are the only ones who actually now seem to want to have him continue the efforts of the democratic party are saying the democratic party are saying the democratic voters, by a huge margin, want him to be replaced by a younger candidate. as you mentioned, a whole variety of people. the donors, crucially, have withheld funding for the biden campaign. have withheld funding for the biden campaign . abigail disney, biden campaign. abigail disney, the heir to the disney chain , the heir to the disney chain, is, leading the campaign to actually try and block any more

funds going towards, biden in the hope of forcing his hand. and what you've got is a series of measures ranking, up the pressure. so first of all, they went to him privately and asked him to go that didn't work. and so they leaked the fact that every senior member of the party has gone to him and asked him to go. if he doesn't go this weekend . what you can expect, weekend. what you can expect, i think, is that they will go pubuc think, is that they will go public with their calls, and it's becoming more and more humiliating for him. and the difficulty with that is that it makes it more difficult and more embarrassing for him to go, even though the pressure on him is increasing. and it's partly that those around about him, their jobs are linked to being servants of biden. if harris was to take over, they would lose their jobs and therefore they're hanging on for grim life. >> and yet, professor dunn , the >> and yet, professor dunn, the bitter irony is nobody's going

to be more happy than donald trump if joe biden stays at the top of the ticket. you've got hulk hogan on stage, you've got donald trump who can't be taken down by an assassin. you've got joe biden with a mild dose of covid who could be taken down by nancy pelosi. you couldn't get two different types of energy . two different types of energy. >> exactly. and that contrast is partly why there is such a clamour across the piece to get rid of him. be that the images of him walking to and from air force one were painful. he okay? the guy has covid and he's 81, but he looks incredibly frail. the contrast and energy could not be more marked. and that is really why that there is this increasing pressure on him and various forms and various ways , various forms and various ways, hoping that that the isolation of covid allows him time to reflect, allows him to watch tv and catch up and just see how

unpopular he is and hopefully pushes him in the direction. as far as the democratic party are concerned, of actually exiting the race. but he is incredibly stubborn and, and recalcitrant in terms of actually his willingness to give up the position. his idea is i've waited all my life to be president, i don't want to give it up now. yeah. even though the evidence suggests that not only his electoral fortunes, but also his electoral fortunes, but also his reputation will go down in flames if he allows himself to continue at the top of the ticket . ticket. >> professor david dunn, it's an astonishing situation. one no doubt will be keeping an eye on very, very closely until november the 5th. the greatest political show on earth, of course, will be all over that here @gbnews now coming up, we will continue our discussions on leads after those utterly shocking and appalling scenes from the disorder there last night, where a police vehicle was overturned and a bus was torched, as you can see. plus we'll be live in dublin where another protest is due at the asylum seeker centre that was

burnt down there last night. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel. now it's time for your glorious weather with annie shuttleworth . with annie shuttleworth. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on gb news >> good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news, weather update brought to you from the met office through the rest of today will be feeling very hot into this evening as well and very mild night to come for much of england and wales. there is a change on the way as we head towards the weekend. weather fronts will push in from the west, introducing considerably fresher air but also a spell of wet weather. and that cloud and rain will push into parts of northern ireland, western scotland through this evening. elsewhere, it should stay dry, a bit of cloud spilling into western wales. parts of the southwest as well. but across the south and east a clear night to come and here is where it will stay. mild and humid overnight temperatures perhaps not dipping down much below 20 degrees. however, from the north

and west. as i said, it will turn fresher through saturday once the weather front clears through . that will clear through through. that will clear through the western isles very first thing, but still some heavy rain to come across parts of the highlands. eastern areas of scotland. not seeing the rain till a little later on in the day on saturday. wet weather though, spilling into northern ireland, as well as north wales through saturday morning, could see some quite heavy downpours pushing into parts of south wales, as well as devon and cornwall through saturday morning. as well. further east, though, it will be a clear and bright start to the day on saturday, but it will be feeling fairly humid through the day. the sunshine will turn hazier as well for many central and eastern areas of the uk. as this cloud starts to thicken ahead of the band of heavy rain. so heavy pulses of rain to come for parts of wales, the south—west as well as some areas of scotland as well. temperatures cooler tomorrow compared to today, but still across the south and east we could still reach the high

20s through saturday evening. that rain will continue its journey eastwards, so some further outbreaks of heavy rain at risk for many areas of the uk. but it will turn cooler and much drier as we head into sunday. so sunny spells on sunday. so sunny spells on sunday for many of us. temperatures much closer to average, but further wet weather to come next week. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

happening in britain. simmering undercurrents we saw last night in leeds , buses burning, police in leeds, buses burning, police cars being caved in, the police simply running away. nigel farage said this is evidence of multicultural britain not working. meanwhile, we'll cross to dublin shortly. the scene there in coolock of a asylum seeker centre, burned to the ground yesterday and there's a protest at 6 pm. the locals there do not feel that the police, the politicians, anybody is listening to their concerns. working class people simply having their opinions and their needs trampled upon by the institution. even a councillor will speak to shortly. was pepper sprayed by the police. an astonishing situation. let me know your thoughts on all of this. is this evidence of where britain is heading? does it look like a chilling sight ? like a chilling sight? gbnews.com/yoursay. that's the way to get in touch. hundreds of emails so far. please keep them coming. but first, it's your

headunes coming. but first, it's your headlines with sophia wenzler. >> martin. thank you. good afternoon. it's 5:02. your top story from the gb newsroom cybersecurity firm crowdstrike says a fix has been deployed but admits it could be some time before today's global outages are fully back online. more than 3000 flights at many of the world's airports have been grounded since early this morning, with airlines unable to complete check ins. banks supermarkets, most gp clinics and even major tv and radio broadcasters are among the many who've been knocked off line. those travelling by rail are also affected, with transpennine express, thameslink and southern among those who reported disruption . crowdstrike ceo says disruption. crowdstrike ceo says it's not related to a security incident or cyber attack, but cabinet office minister pat mcfadden says it shows the vulnerabilities of the digital age. >> this incident shows is just

how dependent we are on it systems and when something like this happens, how fast and how widespread the effects are. the reassuring thing in this case is that it's not a hostile act. it's not a security attack. the cause has been identified, and it's really important because we're so reliant on these systems that the fix is put in place as soon as possible . place as soon as possible. >> journalist evan gershkovich has been sentenced to 16 years behind bars after a russian court found him guilty of espionage . the wall street espionage. the wall street journal reporter has already been held in a moscow prison for 16 months on charges of spying. prosecutors say the 32 year old was caught gathering secret information for the cia, though no information to back up the allegations has been made public. president biden has accused the kremlin of hostage diplomacy and says he's committed to bringing evan home. in other news, a woman believed

to be from sudan drowned after an overcrowded migrant boat got into trouble in the english channel overnight. five people were pulled from the water and a further 86 others rescued by a french patrol vessel. at around 1:00 this morning, they were all taken to calais. a spokesperson for number 10 says the incident underlines the stark reality of how dangerous the crossings are . how dangerous the crossings are. police made several arrests after violent disorder broke out in leeds last night, with more expected in the coming days. vehicles were set ablaze and a police car overturned late last night, with residents warned to stay indoors as helicopters and a large police presence responded to the chaos. it's understood the riots were linked to local children being taken into care in the us. donald trump pledged to bring back the american dream as he took to the stage last night to formally accept the republican nomination for president. speaking at the republican national convention

for the first time since he narrowly avoided an assassination attempt, the former president at first struck a unifying tone, promising to lead all americans, but he soon ventured off his prepared script, accusing his political opponents of cheating in what was the longest presidential acceptance speech since records began. former wrestler hulk hogan was also there. he called mr trump a hero. >> are you crooked politicians need to answer one question, brother . what you need to answer one question, brother. what you gonna do when donald trump and all the trump maniacs run wild on you, brother ? maniacs run wild on you, brother? yeah >> meanwhile, barack obama has reportedly told senior democrats that he's concerned over joe biden's ability to win november's election. the former president is understood to have told colleagues that mr biden's path to victory has greatly diminished. it comes as a report in the new york times suggests

president biden has begun to accept that he may have to drop out of the race. health alerts are in place across the country as the summer sun brings welcome relief for some. experts are urging people to take precautions, with warnings in many places in england up until 11:00 tomorrow night, it's expected today could be the hottest day of the year , hottest day of the year, exceeding june's record of 30.5. but england is far from the hottest part of europe today, with temperatures in madrid and seville expected to peak at around 40 degrees. and if you've ever thought of managing the england squad, this could be your moment. the football association has posted an official job advert on its website for the role of head coach. the search is on for someone who will lead the men's team to win a major tournament and be consistently ranked as one of the top teams in the world. you'll have to get your applications in quick, though the post says a number of candidates have already been identified to replace gareth

southgate, but the fa is committed to an open process . committed to an open process. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sophia wenzler more in half an hour 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 forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> thank you, sophia. and back to this breaking news story. transport, banks, businesses and even broadcasters have been brought to a grinding halt after a global tech meltdown. but the uk government say they are working at pace and firing up its national emergency response. well, let's now get the latest from gb news national reporter charlie peter. so charlie peters, the millennium bug came 24.5 years late. we've been ground to a hole. i guess the big question now is this started this chaos this morning. is

there any sign of it coming to an end? >> well, it seems to be easing up on the transport side of things. martin with edinburgh airport saying that things are slowly returning to normal now at heathrow, we've heard that there are excessive delays , but there are excessive delays, but there are excessive delays, but the situation is now operating more normally after a busy schedule. however as people are able to get back on to planes and trains, concerns are still alive and well and growing in the health sector. we've had some information just over the last few moments from the south central ambulance service saying that they're facing increased demand due to a global it shortage and the south—east coast ambulance service has recently declared a business continuity incident because they don't have access to some of their external nhs services that they might rely on during their processes . we've heard this processes. we've heard this morning that some gp's can't access scans , they can't access access scans, they can't access blood tests and other vital information about patients. we've also heard from the london

ambulance service. they've said that they're experiencing a huge increase in emergency calls by 2 pm. today. their chief executive said that they'd received more than 3999 calls and also a further 3000 111 calls to those services. that's a third more than they'd usually get in a full 24 hour period, all before 2 pm. so more concern about the situation for the health service in particular those ambulance services. now, what's caused all of this is just 41kb of code, a short bit of software that was put in by crowdstrike overnight. crowdstrike overnight. crowdstrike is a cybersecurity company that provides services to cloud technology. it's an $80 billion company. it's a significant service. it provides all sorts of information and support to services around the world. and that's why this incident, this small bit of code , incident, this small bit of code, has had such a drastic impact , has had such a drastic impact, because millions of people do

rely on the services it provides. microsoft has been the platform affected the most. its operating service windows being bncked operating service windows being bricked in many cases by this software bug. the chief executive, the ceo of the cyber security company crowdstrike, saying that they are continuing to work to resolve this incident. and that comes after this morning when he said he was deeply sorry for this issue. >> charlie peters is an astonishing state of affairs. this is what we will promise with the millennium bug. this is precisely the kind of terrorist incident that we may get a cyber attack from china, or from russia, and yet this seems to be entirely self—inflicted. i guess the big question now is charlie, who's responsible ? will who's responsible? will crowdstrike be held responsible for the hundreds of thousands of journeys that have spoilt the holidays, have been wasted, even the missed medical appointments? will heads roll? >> well, here's the thing. i mean, crowdstrike statement on

air live on nbc this morning. the ceo, you could almost sense the pressure of lawyers in the room, no doubt very concerned not to say the wrong thing to invite the attention of those who might be looking for some compensation after this global grinding to a halt of so many vital services, and they have issued more statements during the day. i'm just looking down a new statement that's come out in the last hour that they've reaffirmed that customers are fully protected despite the ongoing global it outage. they say that this was not a security or cyber incident. our customers remain fully protected. they say that the issue has been identified and a fix has been deployed. and they'll continue to provide updates to its community as and when they can. but martin, just going back to your your comment about us always expecting this to come from a cybersecurity attack from a hostile state or non—state actor, this sort of drastic

stoppage. well, in london in some ways, there's been some preparation for the level of disruption we're experiencing today because less than two months ago, a russia based and russia aligned hacking group called kylin launched a targeted attack on a denial of service on attack on a denial of service on a ransomware attack. rather on a group called synovus, a third party platform that provides pathology to the health service, particularly blood tests for london hospitals were disrupted by that. they're still using pen and paper to deliver blood test results to patients, as ongoing disruption from that . so there disruption from that. so there has been already a test of those contingency measures, and i have to say, many patients severely let down by that process. and it's proven that the nhs really will struggle when it comes to deaung will struggle when it comes to dealing with this sort of cyber security disruption. but for this level of outage to come from an incident, a mistake rather than a targeted attack does show just how reliant we

are on technology. and indeed, those were the comments made by pat mcfadden, the cabinet minister, earlier today. >> charlie peters, as ever an excellent , succinct summary. and excellent, succinct summary. and you're absolutely right. this is the kind of stuff that kim jong un or vladimir putin or president xi could only dream of. it seems to be an entirely self—inflicted disaster. now moving on. let's once again discuss that night of complete and utter bedlam in leeds as police cars were overturned and pubuc police cars were overturned and public transport was set on fire, with residents warned to stay at home. as you can see on your screen there, leeds was burning in the suburb of harehills and joining us now to discuss this as a former scotland yard detective responsible for identifying suspects after the 2011 london riots, it's mike neville . mike, riots, it's mike neville. mike, welcome to the show. can i specifically ask you , mike, specifically ask you, mike, about your visceral, your immediate reaction as a former serving police officer to the police response last night? mike neville, eight hours of rioting ,

neville, eight hours of rioting, a thousand individuals involved in that rioting, police vehicles caved in to the point of being write offs , buses set on fire. write offs, buses set on fire. there have been several arrests and we saw videos of police running away from danger. mike, as somebody responsible for police actions, what's your take on last night's police response in harlow and the% martin? >> i would rather stand and die rather than run away. that's i was a soldier first and then a police officer and nothing worse for the public to see police officers running away because of course , what do they do? course, what do they do? >> what do you do? if you're in fear? the police officers should be running towards danger as we often see them do, not running away from it. and i think what we often see is this is an area which is detached from society. it is a heavily immigrant, area. and i fear again, that we see this two tier policing in the sense if this was, leeds united

fans protesting about the manager being sacked or something, who set a bus on fire, the response would be rather more robust. >> so the initial response i just don't think was good enough. >> you had the fire brigade hanging back again. >> we had the you know, when we had the manchester arena report, there's all sorts of comments about emergency services hanging back, and my view is once you put on that uniform, you know, you put yourself at risk. that's that's the job. you know, that's your duty. is it sense. so when we see the scenes you're seeing here of cars being smashed, it just sends out to people that they they live in fear because they they live in fear because the people are supposed to protect them, are not there. >> mike neville, earlier on the show , we had dame andrea show, we had dame andrea jenkyns, until recently, a conservative mp in a neighbouring constituency. she said she's been contacted by a raft of former constituents, saying they feel that parts of leeds are becoming no go zones. we have peter bleksley on the

show earlier, he said. the same thing now and this is happening across many parts of britain and the common theme, mike, that keeps coming up is this historical reluctance to police in areas of multicultural sensitivities. and you reap what you sow , right, mike? we saw you sow, right, mike? we saw that with the grooming gang scandal. we're now seeing the police standing by and watching as these communities go into meltdown. mike neville, serious question. i want to ask you next. do you think this is a taste of things to come? could this get worse? >> it could get worse. and what you have, you don't have multiculturalism. you really have monoculture ism. you have little cultures which are just detached. and one of the ways you can prove this is to show how many 999 calls are made in an area. and i imagine in that area very few 999 calls are ever made because the people police themselves, you know, they don't involve anything to do with the british authorities. things are deau british authorities. things are dealt with themselves and it is really bad at the moment that the police are not engaging with

this. it isn't good enough. the police keep telling us they're recruiting different types of people and this and that diversity schemes, they just need to recruit some good police officers. they start recruiting ex—soldiers, they need to have officers who can respond where, where it's necessary in a robust manner. and when people are starting to set fire to buses and burn things down and putting people in real danger, it doesn't need to be talked about. it needs to be sorted out straight away . straight away. >> mike neville, when you talk about communities, policing themselves, there's another phrase for that and it's called mob rule. we saw mob rule on the streets of harehills last night. we saw the police running away from the mob. mike, how do we fix this ? fix this? >> actually, it's going to take a long time, martin. because what you have is a whole clutch of senior officers who are of the same. there's no diversity of thought amongst them. they are convinced of their own

righteousness. they went to the same universities and they're convinced that to having diversity schemes and what is the future, the fact that the, you know, don't detect any crime, they don't keep people safe. this really doesn't matter to them. and so what it needs is people imposing on the police who are going to do that. but i fear we had 14 years of a conservative government who did nothing. i don't the labour party are going to do anything because they they rely on votes from this sort of area and i fear for the country. and when i was a police officer, i always used to see myself as the protector of the little people and the little people, the ones who can't fight back. they're the ones who live in fear. they're the ones in those houses there where there's flames all around and all they want to do is live their life and they're in fear because the police are not there. the fire brigade are not there. the fire brigade are not there. the fire brigade are not there , and it isn't good not there, and it isn't good enough. >> mike neville, sobering thoughts, you know, chilling messaging. but i hope people in power are listening because i think your dad. right. i think we've reached that point now where something must be done.

it's not fair for ordinary taxpayers to watch this , this taxpayers to watch this, this meltdown of the fabric of society. mike neville, thank you very much for your words. it's always an absolute pleasure to have you on our show. now you get lots more of that story on our website. and thanks to you, gbnews.com is the fastest growing national news website in the country . it's got breaking the country. it's got breaking news and all of the brilliant analysis you've come to expect from us here @gbnews now, there's still plenty of time to grab your chance to win £30,000 and the great british giveaway. it's our biggest cash prize of the year. and what's more, it's totally tax free. what would you do with all that extra cash? well, here's how you could win the lot. >> it's a summer treat to you. your chance to win an incredible £30,000 in tax free cash. our biggest cash prize of the year so far, with an extra £30,000 in your bank account this year, you could take the ultimate financial holiday and send some of those day to day financial

what would that mean for you, the voter at home who, if you recall, voted to leave the european union? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

>> i'm patrick christys every week. >> night from 9:00, i bring you two hours of unmissable, explosive debate and headline grabbing interviews. >> what impact has that had? >> what impact has that had? >> we got death threats and the bomb threat and so on. >> as time passes, she could have said, storm, you made my argument for me one at a time. >> my guests and i tackle the issues that really matter with a sharp take on every story, everywhere. >> something practical could be done. >> or i can become something different. >> patrick christys tonight from 9 pm. only on gb news. >> britain's news channel . >> britain's news channel. >> britain's news channel. >> welcome back. 5:25. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. yesterday ursula von delay, a mild sparring partner, won support from european union

lawmakers for another five year term as president of the european commission, the eu's powerful executive body. von der lie—in, who is part of the centre right european people's party, was first elected in 2019 and will serve for another five years. following her promises of increased defence spending and of course, yet more commitments to new green deals. what we can now speak with the head of policy at mcc brussels, jacob reynolds. jacob, welcome to the show. so it's the morning after the night before. last time von der leyen scraped through with nine votes as a margin . this nine votes as a margin. this time she got through with a significantly bigger margin. but the price of that jacob was a lot of backroom deals , lot of backroom deals, specifically with the greens. now the greens were hammered at the electoral polls in may, but they've got their way precisely because this is how brussels works. tell us more .

works. tell us more. >> yeah, well, it's exactly that this, the election, if you can really even call it that, given that there was only one candidate, it's not much of an election, but the election of ursula von der leyen is a real slap in the face of european voters, because we saw at the recent european parliamentary elections that there was a big to shift more sovereigntist, patriotic, properly right wing forces in the parliament. and yet the anointing of queen ursula, as they call her, just shows that they're insistent on producing more of the same, as you say , more of the green you say, more of the green policies that have wrecked europe's economy, more of the war on agriculture , more war on agriculture, more singling out of countries that don't toe the line, and further centralisation of powers for the for the eu and for the executive there. and it's very symptomatic of how the eu operates as you say, these backroom deals, an election with only one candidate and even even the people supposedly supporting von der leyen, don't even pretend that there's any other option. there's a real dearth of

leadership at the heart of europe. and so this just shows again how out of touch these eu elites are with the ordinary people of europe who tried at the election to signal that they wanted something different. >> and jacob, an election with one person on the ticket. it's a bit like kim jong un in a way, but i digress. bit like kim jong un in a way, but i digress . all of those but i digress. all of those farmers across france, across the netherlands, even outside brussels, where they were set fire to tires over these new greens deals that involve cheap agricultural products coming in from argentina. from the continent, undercutting french farmers. they were furious about that. and yet they promised to change those policies totally done a u—turn here. those policies will linger on. jacob, i want to ask you what you think that could mean for the united kingdom? we voted to leave , or kingdom? we voted to leave, or so we felt in 2019. and now sir keir starmer seems to want to get closer. if we get closer to europe, does that mean we have

to adhere to these deals? >> well, yeah. the key plank of eu policy for a long time now has been that any countries they do deals with, they try and export all of their crazy regulations, especially on green regulations, especially on green regulations around agriculture. they're trying to export them all across the world and so the price that the eu will definitely put forward to keir starmer, and we know people like him would be kind of minded to accept this. the price of getting any closer to europe is further adherence to all of the crazy standards they have for a green policies in agriculture, but also elsewhere, and the inability of countries to make decisions to support important areas of their economy and so on. so the danger here is not for just europe, as you say, but forjust europe, as you say, but also very much for the uk . also very much for the uk. >> and jacob, a huge issue, of course, is immigration. we've seen over 2000 now arrive in small boats to our coast. seen over 2000 now arrive in small boats to our coast . since small boats to our coast. since sir keir starmer was elected the prime minister, we announced on this show earlier this week, 1.25 million illegal immigrants came into the 27 eu member states last year alone. but von

der leyen made no mention of the biggest issue that affects the many , many voters in the many, many voters in the continent. jacob. that makes many british voters fear that if the european union can't control their own borders, they'll see xl bully usher those people towards the coast. so the eu's inability to control its border becomes britain's problem . becomes britain's problem. >> very much so. the kind of one of the key policies of von der leyen's last term, which just about got over the line, was the what they call the immigration pact there, the migration pact, which effectively forces countries in europe to take in the eu, to take migrants in or be fined enormous fines by the by the eu. and you know that that's a model they'd very much like to support to export to the uk. and if that doesn't work , uk. and if that doesn't work, certainly i don't think they'll particularly care if france turns a blind eye to sending more migrants across the channel. so it's a real dangerous process that the eu elite, epitomised by von der leyen, have no plan for getting

to grips with the migration crisis. >> and there we have it , neatly >> and there we have it, neatly and succinctly explained jacob reynolds. we thought we voted to leave sir keir starmer wants a closer relationship. will that relationship mean having to adhere to the same climate deals and possibly even some kind of immigration deal? well, sir keir starmer stated yesterday with emmanuel macron and the european leaders, 50 of them at blenheim palace , that is precisely his palace, that is precisely his plan . jacob reynolds, always plan. jacob reynolds, always a pleasure to have your company on the show. thank you very much indeed for joining the show. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. now, there's loads more still to come between now and 6:00, and we're crossing soon over to coolock in ireland, in dublin, where an arson attack is believed to have been discovered amid anti—immigration protests in the air. i've joined a local journalist and also an, astonishingly, a councillor who was pepper sprayed by police earlier this week. but first, your latest news headlines with sophia wenzler.

>> martin. thank you. it's 531. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom . cyber security firm newsroom. cyber security firm crowdstrike says a fix has been deployed, but admits it could be some time before today's global outages are fully back online. more than 3000 flights at many of the world's airports have been grounded since early this morning, with airlines unable to complete check ins. banks, supermarkets most gp clinics and even major tv and radio broadcasters are among the many who've been knocked offline. those travelling by rail are also affected, with transpennine express , thameslink and southern express, thameslink and southern among those who reported disruption. crowdstrike ceo says it's not related to a security incident or cyber attack , but incident or cyber attack, but warns it could take some time to fix . a woman believed to be from fix. a woman believed to be from sudan drowned after an overcrowded migrant boat got into trouble in the english channel overnight. five people were pulled from the water and a

further 86 other people rescued after french patrol vessels rescued them around 1:00. this morning, they were all taken to calais. a spokesperson for number 10 says it's underlined the stark reality of how dangerous the crossings are . the dangerous the crossings are. the american journalist evan gershkovich has been sentenced to 16 years in jail after a russian court found him guilty of espionage. prosecutors say the 32 year old was caught gathering secret information for the cia, though no information to back up the allegations has been made public. president biden says he's committed to bringing evan home in the us. donald trump pledged to bring back the american dream as he took to the stage last night to formally accept the republican nomination for president. speaking for the first time since he narrowly avoided an assassination attempt. the former president at first struck a unifying tone, promising to lead for all americans, but he soon ventured off script,

welcome back. it's 539 now. the protests in coolock in dublin over a proposed site to house asylum seekers continues. and locals are also continuing to protest. and another one will be kicking off at 6 pm. tonight in about 20 minutes time. so, ahead of

this, let's cross now live to coolock, and i'm joined now by the founder of the liberal leo sherlock, who i believe is also with councillor malachy steenson. let's start with you, leo. so we saw dramatic scenes yesterday of the proposed site at the crown paints factory being burned down after a week of tumultuous policing, pepper spray of locals, including a 78 year old local. tell us what's tonight's protest about ? tonight's protest about? >> hi, martin. great to see you. yeah basically what you said happened over the last couple of days has been raucous scenes here where locals have fought back against the contempt of the irish government has for them. and indeed, everyone in ireland . and indeed, everyone in ireland. it just happens to be kulaks this week. but it could be anywhere. next week. and what we've seen over the last 24 hours is a fire in the migrant in the proposed migrant centre, but it hasn't. it hasn't stopped the centre from going ahead. it was only in the reception area and locals here are decent. concerned locals are in the vicinity again, protesting

tonight for their voice to be heard effectively. and the irish government, as i said, has complete and utter contempt for the irish people at this stage . the irish people at this stage. they they, their overlords in europe, are the only people that matter to them. and to me, that may well be a working class area, but two months ago, newtownmountkennedy and county wicklow , that was quite an wicklow, that was quite an affluent area. so it just shows that it's completely irrelevant where where these migrant centres are actually being placed. it'sjust centres are actually being placed. it's just the government are shoehorning them in and they they couldn't care less what the locals think. they don't they don't listen to them and they don't listen to them and they don't consult with them. >> and leo, sherlock, we've been speaking with locals all week. we've been covering the story extensively on gb news, and i know you've been signal boosting that for us. thank you very much for that. we very much want to support these communities and give them a voice. one of the politicians, one of the local councillors, who was elected to represent these communities, i believe is with you now, malachy steenson, as i understand it, he was pepper sprayed while trying to interact with police this

week. i wonder on behalf of us, leo, can you have a word with malachy on behalf of us @gbnews? our viewers can hear, of course. yeah >> malachy, gb news here in england have been very, very decent to the irish cause they've they've covered this extensively. and can you just give them a brief rundown as to what actually happened to you as an elected official in ireland dunng an elected official in ireland during the week here at the protest in coolock? well, we were here at a protest on monday night, 6:00, we were preparing to speak and there was a few running battles at that stage between the police force, the militarised public order unit, who were attempting to, drag people off the streets . people off the streets. >> there was a bit of interaction between disillusioned young lads in the area, threw a few stones, a few fireworks, nothing that you would consider looking at leeds last night, for instance, or belfast at any time in the past 40 years, or indeed france wouldn't even get on the scale of being a riot . of being a riot. >> we didn't get an opportunity to speak with a number of speakers lined up to speak, so

myself and three other dublin councillors recently elected in the june elections approached the june elections approached the police lines in order to try and de—escalate the problem. we made it quite clear that that's what we were doing, that and because we were shouting at them, we need to de—escalate this, they raised a play cs gas or pepper sprays and you can hear this, the support from local people or people passing by here by beeping at the horns. you mean that's a continual, beeping now as they pass the crowd. but they immediately sprayed us in the face with pepper spray. >> and you were trying to de—escalate the situation. >> at the time. it was very clear from the audio that that's out there that we were trying to de—escalate it. >> and they refused to discuss it. even they forced us back down the road then and later on, when ? well, the inspector said, when? well, the inspector said, go to the police station, you know, bring your complaint. so some of the crowd actually heard that. and did do that. they went to the police station around the corner and of course, that caught the, police off guard. and they were and, gents , could

and they were and, gents, could l, and they were and, gents, could i, malachy, could i please ask you a question? >> because dougie beattie our reporter was has been at the site several times this week was saying that what we really, really need is for the politicians, for the police to engage with the community. malachy, you're an elected representative on the council. you are the voice of this community, mary lou mcdonald , community, mary lou mcdonald, the head of sinn fein, she said today we need to get beyond the politics of condemnation and get to a place of real engagement with communities. malachy steenson has there been any such attempt to engage with you politically and to engage with the community? so far, no. >> and they demonise us. and remember, mary lou mcdonald made that statement after she'd already condemned people and she's getting a kickback within her own voter base, both during the elections and now currently, because the vast bulk of her working class voter base are opposed to what, ordinary voters. that's why sinn fein are no longer now likely to be the lead party in the next

government . but nobody has government. but nobody has approached us and today the holac says no. grouping invited for this protest tonight ianed? for this protest tonight invited? not alone. myself and other councillors who stand with the people here, but all of the elected representatives in this area and the garda superintendent. now, it remains to be seen whether any of them will turn up, but i don't suspect that they will. but when she talks about dialogue and communication for this state, what that actually means is the government comes in and tells you this is what's happening. there's no discussion about it . there's no discussion about it. they've said to the people in coolock, we're putting the 2000, mainly. well they've said it. the white, women and children and men we know from experiences elsewhere that it will be simply, young males , mainly simply, young males, mainly coming from the uk, who would be put in there? and the people of colour have given their answer to the government and to any suggestion of dialogue and discussion, because there's really nothing to discuss , okay.

really nothing to discuss, okay. because what happens here with discussion is that the ngos get a pile of money to bring in diversity and inclusion. >> i just want to add to that, malachy as well, that in relation to in relation to the, the consultation, the irish government and indeed the, the, the so—called opposition have nothing but contempt for mary lou mcdonald doesn't care less about these people. she patronises and condemns them every single day of the week as being thugs, as being layabouts, etc. etc. there is no political party at this time in ireland, either in the government or opposition, that actually stands up for working for decent people. i was going to say working class, but it's irrelevant because this happens in all different areas around the country, other than the likes of malachy and a few other independent people who've been elected recently. hopefully that movement will grow. >> okay, gentlemen, we have to leave it there. thank you very, very much, both of you, for joining us. and that's leo sherlock, the founder of the liberal and council of malachy steenson there from coolock outside dublin . that protest, we outside dublin. that protest, we hope, goes peacefully this evening . now, would you be evening. now, would you be willing to go to face fines to take your kids on cheaper

holidays? some parents say it's a no brainer, but what do you reckon? well, i'll be joined by a teacher who thinks it's a bad idea, but look, guilty as charged. i've done it. i martin on gb news, britain's channel

welcome back. 10 to 6. the final. final furlong. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. parents have been taking to social to media urge others to pay social to media urge others to pay the quote. no brainer fines for taking their kids on holiday dunng for taking their kids on holiday during school term time. and here's one example. >> yeah, £240, £240 for an all inclusive holiday for two weeks inclusive holiday for two weeks in the sun . in the sun. >> and we definitely saved £240 then going in school holidays. >> so it's still a win win to me. >> yeah, i'll be paying the fine and whatever, whatever . and whatever, whatever. >> and that was a nurse from

lancashire who got a £240 fine, but saved three grand on a holiday. now the fines are rising next month as the number of kids missing school is increasing, with parents citing lower prices outside of school holidays, something i know a lot about. guilty as charged. now i'm joined by the headteacher at lvs ascot , christine cunniffe lvs ascot, christine cunniffe christine, always a pleasure to have you on the show. i know you're going to tell me off because we've had this conversation before , but i did conversation before, but i did take my kids out of school. they have an exemplary attendance for the rest of the year. the houday the rest of the year. the holiday was half price. it was a no brainer . i holiday was half price. it was a no brainer. i agree holiday was half price. it was a no brainer . i agree with the no brainer. i agree with the mum. now come on, tell me off. put me on the naughty step. >> no, i'm not going to tell you off. you know, because i'm just jealous because being a teacher, i've never been able to do it myself. >> so, you know, i do feel a bit hard done by, but i'm not going to tell you off. >> and to be quite honest, i was actually laughing through that because it's a joke, isn't it? you know, as soon as the schools break up, the prices go through the roof and you can see why people pay the fine.

>> it's like a license to go on holiday. >> so, you know, it's wrong. >> so, you know, it's wrong. >> the fines are not working. >> the fines are not working. >> so another reason or system has got to be put in place to try and help. >> and what's also really astonishing about this situation is that i applied for a passport last year. i applied to get my kids out of school via the system legally last year. the form to apply for a holiday were longer and more confusing than applying for a passport. you have to fill out all the details you have to print off the documents of the hotels of the flights they make it so hard to do. i suspect many parents just don't even bother. they just take the kids off and disappear. >> yeah, i think that is the case, but i think we're missing a couple of things. >> and one that the travel agents shouldn't be allowed to be able to hike the prices like they do. but this has been going on for donkey's years, hasn't it? >> it's not a new thing, you know. >> and the other thing is, i think parents need to understand that, you know, if you miss school children, miss school. >> they are missing out without a doubt, you know, and the statistics are there to prove it, you know, so it's i can sympathise with the parents.

totally, i get it. >> but you know, children need to be in school too. >> yeah, totally agree with that. christine conniff, always a delight to have you on the show. thanks for joining a delight to have you on the show. thanks forjoining us. now, just before we end the show today, hundreds of you. hundreds beganin today, hundreds of you. hundreds began in touch with your size and the big topic has been, of course, on those riots in leeds. let's go through a few of them now. andrew says this. the only answer is some draconian action, something sadly, none of our spineless politicians will approve. lizzie adds this the silence is deafening from the authorities regarding the riots in leeds. wakey wakey, labour party . there is in leeds. wakey wakey, labour party. there is something going on in leeds that needs your attention. on the same topic, christine adds this the council cleaning up after the mob. you can see that on your screens there went on the rampage. they should have left them to live amongst that mess. this is your mess. you should tidy it up. why should the taxpayers pay for that clean up? you're destroying your own communities. what on earth are you playing at? ian adds this we saw earlier, we had

anna riley in harehills. the clean up job, after a bus was completely gutted by fire. it melted the pavement. it's destroyed the road. nothing works there anymore. that is going to cost council taxpayers a pretty penny to put it right. and on that topic, ian says this that bus company should simply stop servicing that bus route immediately. why do these people deserve buses? if all they're going to do is set fire to them? gary adds this immigration doesn't seem to be working, and this could only get worse because these communities don't seem to share our values or the love of our country. and we've seen now this completely breaking down. we have peter bleksley in the studio earlier with the ominous words he feel. he feels that this could only get worse. he feels is quote exactly was that britain feels like a tinderbox. and certainly last night we saw that happened in leeds and we believe the crowds are building up. let's hope and pray there is no more

trouble now. i'm back tomorrow . trouble now. i'm back tomorrow. early birds if you fancy it. i'm on breakfast from 6 am. join me six till ten. but first have a fantastic evening. now's your weather with annie shuttleworth. have a great evening. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> good afternoon. welcome to latest gb news. weather update brought to you from the met office through the rest of today will be feeling very hot into this evening as well. a very mild night to come for much of england and wales. there is a change on the way as we head towards the weekend weather fronts will push in from the west, introducing considerably fresher air but also a spell of wet weather and that cloud and rain will push into parts of northern ireland, western scotland through this evening. elsewhere it should stay dry. a bit of cloud spilling into western wales. parts of the southwest, as well, but across the south and east a clear night to come and here is where it

will stay. mild and humid overnight temperatures perhaps not dipping down much below 20 degrees. however, from the north and west, as i said, it will turn fresher through saturday once the weather front clears through. that will clear through the western isles very first thing, but still some heavy rain to come across parts of the highlands. eastern areas of scotland. not seeing the rain till a little later on in the day. on saturday. wet weather though, spilling into northern ireland as well as north wales through saturday morning, could see some quite heavy downpours pushing into parts of south wales as well as devon and cornwall through saturday morning as well. further east, though, it will be a clear and bright start to the day on saturday, but it will be feeling fairly humid through the day. the sunshine will turn hazier as well for many central and eastern areas of the uk, as this cloud starts to thicken ahead of the band of heavy rain. so heavy pulses of rain to come for parts of wales, the south—west, as well as some areas of scotland as well. temperatures cooler

tomorrow compared to today, but still across the south and east we could still reach the high 20s through saturday evening. that rain will continue its journey eastwards, so some further outbreaks of heavy rain at risk for many areas of the uk. but it will turn cooler and much drier as we head into sunday. so sunny spells on sunday. so sunny spells on sunday for many of us. temperatures much closer to average, but further wet to weather come next week. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

are unable to access patient records or book appointments. is it dangerous that the world is so reliant on so few tech companies? spoiler yes. yesterday we saw terrible scenes from leeds where rioters burned a bus and tipped over a police car. we're asking why. what is behind all this? and plus just stop oil they don't go away, do they? just stop oil? protesters have been given a prison sentence, has been won and five years. harsh, fair throw away the key. let me know what you think to that one. and finally, should a tasteless joke at work get you in trouble ? or is there get you in trouble? or is there still such a thing as a workplace banter? that's all to come in the next hour. as i said, a sizzling show. but first, the news headlines with an equally sizzling sophia wenzler. >> dawn. thank you. good evening from the gb newsroom. it's just gone 6:00. your top story this houn gone 6:00. your top story this hour. cyber security firm
