to abandon his run for re—election — but top aides vow he'll stay in the race. and — members of the refugee olympic team arrive in france — just days before the paris games are due to start. hello, welcome to the programme. there are warnings that cyber criminals — looking to exploit friday's global it outage — could cause further disruption. cyber agencies in the uk and australia are urging people to be vigilant to fake emails, calls and websites. the boss of crowdstrike, the cyber—security firm responsible, warned of "bad actors" that "will try to exploit events like this." in total, more than 9,000 flights have been cancelled since friday. here in the uk, airports, which saw severe disruption, say that systems are working again but advised people to check before traveling. a flawed update — rolled out

by the cybersecurity firm, crowdstrike, affected about 8.5 million microsoft devices, the company said. it knocked many machines offline, hampering retail systems and healthcare, with problems for gps and pharmacies. here's our technology editor zoe kleinman. yesterday, the global it outage caused worldwide chaos. today, we're still dealing with the aftermath. thousands of flights were grounded and while airports are getting back to normal, there are still many travellers who are stuck. my flight got cancelled while i coming out of my aeroplane and i've been stranded for around... 0ver 24—hours by now, i think. i have been on my feet for four days by now, i think. no—one can really help me, right now. now the children are napping on the floor. we had no help. we found another flight but it's not on the same company and it's

only tomorrow morning, so we have to find a room for tonight. queues quickly built up at dover this morning, with people trying to find other ways to get abroad. the port's advice is not to arrive without a ticket. gps were forced to cancel appointments and some patients struggled to get hold of vital medicines. pharmacists had difficulties issuing prescriptions — including for themselves. in terms of pharmacy workload, it has impacted on how we interact with patients because, obviously, those electronic prescriptions and that sort of more seamless service hasn't been available. then, personally, i have also been unable to access my electronic prescription, so i really feel for the patients because i am one of them. however, workarounds are possible for those with urgent medicine needs. they were able to take my nhs number and look me up in their system to see that i have been prescribed this before. so the pharmacist will be able

to dispense it today. when i saw that it systems were down i thought, well, i'm glad i'm not flying anywhere today, but it didn't occur to me that something like getting my prescription would be impossible. will anyone be liable for the cost of all this turmoil? the us cybersecurity firm crowdstrike has apologised for its disastrous update but it was only microsoft—powered computers which crashed. there's also the companies themselves, who don't seem to have had back—up systems. it shows just how dependent we are on a small number of big tech companies to run our digital lives, and how vulnerable this leaves us when something goes wrong. zoe kleinman, bbc news. emily taylor is the ceo of the oxford information labs and an associate fellow at chatham house. she also works for the dns research federation, that monitors phishing activity connected to the cyberstrike outage. thanksgiving weathers. we have warnings from their security agencies around the world about

about criminals exploiting this. what should we be looking out for? we have seen an uptake in reports. we have seen an uptake in reports. we monitor a variety of abuse feeds covering scams, spam, and other malicious activity relating to mac relating to domains. if you look at domains reported yesterday, the day of the attack, you see that we have a total of 72 reports including 30 fishing reports, they are the more serious. all of these tend to include the cloud crowdstrike name or the blue screen of death. action words like fix combined with the brand. 0ur words like fix combined with the brand. our research with consumers and focus groups indicates that when people get a link or an e—mail with

a link in it and there is some kind of brand name and an action word, that gives people a sense of reassurance that this is legitimate when it may actually be malicious. this is highlighted vulnerabilities of the global it system. what measures need putting in place to avoid this kind of thing happening again? i avoid this kind of thing happening auain? ~ , ., again? i think the first thing to sa is again? i think the first thing to say is that _ again? i think the first thing to say is that although _ again? i think the first thing to say is that although this - again? i think the first thing to say is that although this event| again? i think the first thing to i say is that although this event is truly terrible and has caused very widespread damage, these sorts of events are quite rare. you will remember that a couple of years ago, facebook took itself off—line with a bad configuration of a protocol. this is a... crowdstrike said this is not a malicious act, it was a mistake. it does indeed, as your report said, highlight the dependence we have on a small number of suppliers. crowdstrike plus

microsoft, in this incident, if you have that combination, the fix is also time consuming. it isn't difficult, but you need hands on keyboards on every computer. it is going to take some time to get back to normal. de think governments ought to mandate there be more biodiversity in these fields. i know china was less badly affected because they don't have as much consideration in one company. [30 because they don't have as much consideration in one company. do you think... consideration in one company. do you think- -- there — consideration in one company. do you think... there are _ consideration in one company. do you think. .. there are other— consideration in one company. do you think... there are other reasons - think... there are other reasons china would do that. do you think government should intervene to make their e more resilience in our systems? i their e more resilience in our systems?— their e more resilience in our s stems? , , ., ., , systems? i guess the china example is because there _ systems? i guess the china example is because there is _ systems? i guess the china example is because there is a _ systems? i guess the china example is because there is a smaller - systems? i guess the china example | is because there is a smaller number of very highly used and concentrated suppliers in china, but they tend not to be customers of the us platforms to the same extent. that would explain why they are not so effective in this case. how to solve

this issue of market concentration is a difficult one. technology markets typically tend to start off life very open and diverse, but quickly concentrate into a handful of actors. whether you can get governments to dictate that there will be more competition is a difficult question, but there certainly are levers governments can pool certainly are levers governments can pool. they can identify if there is anti—competitive behaviour, and the european commission are very on the front foot on that, but also, they can really be vigilant to barriers to entry for new start—ups in order to entry for new start—ups in order to ensure the market remains open to all businesses.— all businesses. thank you very much indeed for your— all businesses. thank you very much indeed for your expertise. _ all businesses. thank you very much indeed for your expertise. thank - indeed for your expertise. thank you. breaking news, israel says it has

carried out a series of air strikes on the israel says it has carried out a series of airstrikes on the port city of hodeidah in yemen — which is controlled by the iran— backed houthi movement. videos from the yemeni port city hodeidah show huge fires raging with the houthi—run government in sana'a saying israel had struck oil storage facilities close to the shore, as well as a nearby power plant. it's the first time israel has responded directly to what it says have been hundreds of yemeni drone and missile attacks aimed at its territory in recent months. we will bring you more on that story as we get them. joe biden says he's "looking forward to getting back "on the campaign trail next week" after being isolated with covid. pressure is growing on the us president to quit his run for re—election. a democratic congressman, who described mr biden as a friend, said he didn't seem to recognise him at a d—day event last month. let's speak to eric ham who's a political analyst based in washington. thank you forjoining us. a lot of pressure on president biden at the moment. how do you think this will play out in the next couple of days?

nobody knows exactly what will be the final end all solution within the final end all solution within the democratic party, but president biden appears to be dug in. even as the calls to accept that the rates continue to grow, and more importantly, we are hearing more hearing more and more congressional democrats, as well as big dollar donors wanting to see the president leave this race. however, we also continue to see rank and file photos within the democratic party continuing to voice their support and want the president to stay in this race. we and want the president to stay in this race. ~ . ., ,., and want the president to stay in this race. ~ . ., , , this race. we have had some visible calls from peeple — this race. we have had some visible calls from people wanting _ this race. we have had some visible calls from people wanting him - this race. we have had some visible calls from people wanting him to i calls from people wanting him to step down but also some indirect pressure from our visible lack of support from people like president 0bama. i support from people like president 0bama. ~ ., , 0bama. i think former president barack 0bama _ 0bama. i think former president barack 0bama is _ 0bama. i think former president barack 0bama is one _ 0bama. i think former president barack 0bama is one of - 0bama. i think former president barack 0bama is one of those i 0bama. i think former president - barack 0bama is one of those people who is perhaps orchestrating away for the current president to leave this race. we are told joe biden is very incensed by that. the more

these calls grow for biden to leave, these calls grow for biden to leave, the more dug and he becomes, and what we are seeing here, i think, is that the crisis in the party becoming increasingly more problematic as the republican party becomes more unified. that could lead to a certain drop in the polls. but, again, it is around 100 days until the election, that is plenty of time to right the ship. the question is: can they? fine of time to right the ship. the question is: can they? one option --eole question is: can they? one option peeple have _ question is: can they? one option people have mentioned _ question is: can they? one option people have mentioned is - question is: can they? one option people have mentioned is kamalai people have mentioned is kamala harris. who else might be in the running? what does polling suggest about how these people might do against former president trump? irate against former president trump? we are against former president trump? - are already hearing from people like the governor of michigan and the governor of california saying that, if in factjoe biden drops out of the race, they will notjoin, meaning they will not want to be part of an open primary. and, if

kamala harris is the nominated candidate, they don't want to be seen as her running mate. what we are seeing here is that even if biden drops out, that this might be much more difficult than some of those leaders imagined because some of the people they might want to lean on to take biden pass plays now say they want nothing to do with the ticket if the president does decide to exit. . ~ ., , ., to exit. talk to us about the timinas to exit. talk to us about the timings over _ to exit. talk to us about the timings over the _ to exit. talk to us about the timings over the next - to exit. talk to us about the timings over the next few i to exit. talk to us about the - timings over the next few months. at timings over the next few months. git the moment, you have candidates, if there is in fact an open process, it could be very difficult for many of these people outside of kamala harris to actually get on the ballot in some of these states. we know some key battleground states like michigan and nevada, their ballot line has already closed. anybody other than kamala harris would find it very difficult to get on the

ticket and the ballot. in addition, to have to try to ramp up a national campaign infrastructure in under 100 days would be very, very difficult. there are many people who don't want to go through that process. in addition, the more than $300 million president biden currently has in his campaign coffers cannot simply go to the next candidate if in fact as a somebody other than kamala harris, meaning that person would have to be starting from scratch to raise money to be able to nationally compete. if you look at the logistics of what has to happen, it alone seems to be quite daunting if it is somebody other than paris and biden on the ticket. . g other than paris and biden on the ticket. . ~' , ., , other than paris and biden on the ticket. . ~ , ., , . other than paris and biden on the ticket. . g , ., , . ., ticket. thank you very much for the context on — ticket. thank you very much for the context on that _ ticket. thank you very much for the context on that story. _ republican presidential nominee donald trump and his running mate, 0hio senatorjd vance, are due to hold their first rally together as a ticket in grand rapids, michigan,on

his old style as part of that when he went off the teleprompter. how much will it he be trying to broaden his electoral appeal in this event? i don't think he is going to make big changes. the attempt on his life certainly affected him personally and has caused more introspection and has caused more introspection and more emotion than we have seen from him in the past. in terms of what he is bringing and presenting to the american people, that won't change, that is a critique of the biden presidency. as we saw at the rmc he isn't letting go of his opinions of the 2020 election and his belief that wasn't conducted appropriately or legally. i don't think he will change those critiques. he has an opponent and is making his case, and it seems to be a growing message which more and more people are supporting. four donald trump's _ more people are supporting. four donald trump's camp, _ more people are supporting. four donald trump's camp, what is heavy on what happens on the other side? are they hoping president biden

fires raging with the houthi government saying oil storage facilities have been struck as well as a nearby power plant. it is the first time israel has directly responded what it says have been hundreds of yemeni drain and missile attacks aimed at its territory in recent months. the israeli ministry official says: we attacked houthi terror targets including dual use targets. some of them are energy infrastructure. that is an update on the situation in head a death in yemen. the bbc understands that the uk's independent pay review bodies will recommend an above—inflation pay rise of 5.5% for teachers and nhs staff. the figure will represent a challenge for the new government's budget this year. 0ur political correspondent charlotte rose has more. this relates to the school teachers' review body. that represents about half a million teachers, and also the nhs workers' pay review body, representing 1.3 million nhs workers, but importantly, not doctors and dentists.

that is a separate pay review body and these discussions are different to the ongoing pay dispute in england with junior doctors. the government is due to resume those negotiations next week. this is about the annual pay review settlement. but we have had some reaction from unions this morning. the general secretary of the national education union said that a pay award is needed to stop the recruitment and retention crisis in schools. he suggested if the government were not to meet the recommendations of the pay review body in full, then that could lead to strike action. the consequences could be a problem for the government. at the moment, they have budgeted for around 80% increase, for around 2% increase, of course in line with the current levels of inflation. so 5.5%, they would have to find an extra £1 billion to pay teachers and double that for nhs workers, and that could have a knock—on effect what other public sector

workers whose pay review bodies we have not heard from yet. because we know the chancellor rachel reeves has set some tight financial rules to stick to, saying she won't increase borrowing and she doesn't want to increase taxes, there are questions about where the money would come from. it looks like a challenge for the new government. let's get some of the day's other news now. a hard—line ukrainian nationalist party has blamed russia for killing one of its most prominent members. iryna farion was shot on the street in the western city of lviv. she was a former mp for the svoboda party, and had achieved notoriety for insulting the country's russian—speakers. svoboda said she was murdered on moscow's orders. but ukraine's interior ministry says there as several possible suspects. with great pomp and pageantry, malaysia has crowned the billionaire businessman, sultan ibrahim iskandar, king. since the country gained independence from britain, it's had a unique rotating monarchy with the role of king shared between the ethnic malay royal families of nine states —

each kings ruling for five years. it's a largely ceremonial role but he can get involved in politics during parliamentary deadlocks. the sixty—five—year—old said he would govern with justice and fairness. the mother of two sisters who were stabbed to death says she forgives the man who killed them. 27—year—old nicole smallman and 46—year—old bibaa henry were murdered in wembley injune 2020. but speaking to bbc radio 4's today programme, mina smallman says she can't forgive the police officers who took selfies with their bodies and shared them on whatsapp. chi chi izundu reports. mina smallman says that she is currently living a weird life after the brutal murder of her daughters. it wasn't until after the trial, mishal husain interviewed me and she said, "do you forgive the killer?"

host countries teams. there are many rising stars to watch out for including cindy nagamba ku is a cameroon boxer. she moved to the uk aged 11 and is the first... in the olympics. we have two sisters taking 0lympics. we have two sisters taking part in the cycling events who are from afghanistan, and what makes their story is that the taliban have banned women from playing sport. they have defied the odds and made it to the olympics. let's take a mission to some of the other athletes. we met and we are from different backgrounds. we do different sports. but yeah, it was really important. yeah, i hope we will inspire other refugees and we want to make proud this team. i want to prepare and go and run again, to improve time, also to win, to get number two and three and four.

i'm so grateful about this programme they have to support the athletes. . i use it for my training camps, | my races that i had in sweden. brings up to date with the background, how this came about. it stems back to 2015 when the international olympic committee decided to delegate funding as part of a refugee emergency fund to help bring refugees into the sport. so, the first refugee 0lympic bring refugees into the sport. so, the first refugee olympic team we saw in 2016 at the rio 0lympics was managed by the olympic reference foundation. how do they select the athletes? they must be elite competitors already and must be refugees recognised by the un refugees recognised by the un refugee agency. the president of the international olympic committee said he hopes this will demonstrate the human potential of resilience and

excellence, but also, that it will send a message of hope to the over 100 million displaced people around the world that you can be a refugee and can compete in the olympics. more on our breaking story: israel says it has carried out a series of air strikes on the port city of hodeidah in yemen — which is controlled by the iran— backed houthi movement. videos from hodeidah show huge fires raging. the houthi—run government in sana'a says israel struck oil storage facilities, as well as a nearby power plant. israel defence minister yoav gallant said israel struck the houthis to send a message after they harmed an israeli citizen. they use f—15 30 jet in the strike. stay weather is here on bbc news. hello. we have some big contrasts in our weather right now. 0n the one hand, across many eastern parts of the uk it's dry,

but further west it's cloudy. we've had the outbreaks of rain for quite some time now and that's how it's going to stay through the course of the evening. also quite humid in a number of areas. now here's the satellite picture with the radar superimposed and you can see the outbreaks of rain here, the dark blue colours indicating the heavier rain in south—western areas, through the irish sea, just about clearing northern ireland at this stage, but wet in the western isles. further east, it's dry. now, let's have a look at the picture around nine o'clock. so by this stage, most of the rain actually in the south will have fizzled out, although we have a few showers dotted around. dry in the extreme south east, east anglia, most of lincolnshire. the thick cloud with the persistent rain is from around about the lake district northwards into the lowlands of scotland, much of scotland, in fact, and all the way into the northern isles. but at this stage you can see clearer skies already in the outer hebrides. and much fresher here 13, degrees, whereas many other eastern parts of the uk still 23. now, the forecast for tonight shows that heavier rain moving away to the north, it sort of fizzles out,

evaporates really in the south. and then we're left with a cloudy, muggy morning for many of us in the east. 17 in hull, about that in london. 0ut towards the west, it's a fresher start with some sunshine. and i think overall, sunday is not looking bad at all. there'll be sunshine in the morning in many areas, but then the clouds will bubble up. could be a few showers scattered across england and wales, scotland too, perhaps layers of thicker cloud in northern ireland earlier on as this weather front brushes ireland here. and the temperatures — 18 in the north tomorrow, about 23 in london, and we'll start to lose some of that humidity. now, early next week, still a few weather fronts to get through. they're coming off the atlantic. the winds are mostly from the west, so they're still pretty warm. still a fair amount of humidity in the air, moisture, but really quite brisk winds, especially around some of these coasts. most of the rain will probably be further north, i think further south it's cloudy rather than wet and certainly some sunshine around. temperatures, 24 degrees expected in hull. ok, let's have a look

at the outlook then. it's a bit of a mixed bag, but if you look at the temperatures, they're actually pretty much bang on where they should be this time of the year and actually into the weekend and the following week, it's starting to settle down.

this is bbc news. the headlines... israel says it has carried out a series of air strikes on the port city of hodeidah in yemen,

which is controlled by the iran—backed houthi movement. the israel defence forces say their fighter jets struck military targets in response to hundreds of attacks on israel over recent months. there are warnings that criminals may try to exploit the problems caused by friday's global computer glitch. the company that caused the chaos, crowdstrike, says adversaries and what it called "bad actors" would try to take advantage by offering bogus software fixes. joe biden says he's looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail after his isolation with covid. pressure's mounting on the president, with a democratic congressman, who described mr biden as a friend, saying he didn't seem to recognise him at a d—day event last month. west yorkshire police are continuing to search for people involved in violent disorder in leeds on thursday. five people have already been arrested in connection
