the chancellor, rachel reeves, has hinted she will award public sector workers above inflation pay increases. it's understood independent pay review bodies have recommended rises of 5.5% for teachers and nhs workers. inflation is currently 2%. former president donald trump tells republican supporters at a michigan rally he "took a bullet for democracy" after he survived an assasination attempt a week ago. bangladesh's top court has scrapped most of the quotas on governmentjobs, that have triggered nationwide anti—government demonstrations. more than 100 people have died in the violence, with more than 50 people killed on friday alone. israel has carried out a series of airstrikes on the port city of hodeidah in yemen — which is controlled by the houthi movement. it's the first time that israel has publicly claimed to have attacked the country.

microsoft says that the it chaos caused by a flawed update rolled out by the cybersecurity firm crowdstrike affected 8.5 million windows devices. with thousands of flights cancelled, and banking, healthcare, and businesses all affected, we look at what happened in this special programme — the worldwide computer crash. so, people are tired. they've been handing out water. the boards don't really say anything. thousands of flights cancelled. due to the outage my credit card system isn't working. payment systems down. around the globe, remember, this could cost billions. i mean, even trillions if it keeps going on like this. if we look at the scale of the impact, it's gigantic. i was told that the system is down

all over the country as well. - appointments cancelled. computer systems in turmoil. many people saying this is potentially the biggest it outage that we have seen, probably in the last 25, 30 years. of course, the first thing you think is, is this the big cyberattack that everybody has been so worried about? a massive it outage affecting hundreds of millions all around the world. breaking news a massive global technical outage. massive tech outages are impacting airlines, businesses, offices, companies. the scale of this problem is that it is huge. - i woke up this morning and i was reading the news first thing, which i always do, and i was reading that there had been this outage in australia and i thought, well, that sounds like a bit of a problem, doesn't it? airlines, supermarkets, tv, news channels, banks around the world are affected by this massive it outage, thought to be linked to microsoft's business computer system.

the uk wakes up to confusion and chaos as reports of a global it failure break. the first news we had was that there was a microsoft problem. we knew that there had been an issue in the cloud somewhere and then that had caused issues. i've covered tech news for the best part of 20 years now, and this is the most catastrophic result, i think, of of an outage or a hack that i have seen in terms of how widespread it is and how many companies and businesses and customers have been affected. passengers at airports across the world face long waits and cancellations. we've been static for about three hours and we haven't checked into our flight, which was supposed to take off an hour ago. i'm just in a limbo as to how long i've got to wait here for. yeah, the queues are pretty long.

it's it problems worldwide we've heard in the news. i and yeah, apart from that, | we're not really sure what's going on, to be honest. as the minutes go by, the extent of the disruptions begins to unfold, with businesses, banks and nhs systems experiencing major problems. electronic prescription system is down at the moment, so we're not able to receive prescriptions from surgeries and we can't sort of download and update our system at the moment. even tv stations were forced off air. a major global it outage is hitting businesses worldwide, including here at sky news. at first, it was unclear what was behind such widespread chaos. my initial concern was whether this disruption was a cyber attack we've seen over the past few years various supply chain cyber attacks linked to state actors. i think really early on we figured out that it wasn't a hack, it wasn't a cyber attack, and we've since had the uk

government being among the voices saying, you know, you don't need to worry about your security. well, i think my reaction was like so many other. people was one of shock. you know, this is a global, i huge business, which, well, it's affected us all. this outage is notjust something that would happen to a few - people and a few countries and a few companies. - it's happened around the world. as more and more devices were switched on, millions of computer users were faced with a blue screen of death. so the first problem we knew about was that microsoft's cloud hosting service, if you like the giant computers at the heart of the internet on which so many companies, services and systems are based, those had gone down in the central united states and in a way that was unexpected. there's a cyber security company called crowdstrike, which had issued an update to a service that it offers its customers already. it's called falcon, and it's basically an antivirus scanner. for some reason, this update has reacted really badly with devices

running windows software. and of course there are millions of those because it's a very popular bit of kit. let's see how the platform stops an attack in real time. _ this update, which went on to probably millions of devices around the world, notjust your laptop or your desktop that you work on or play on, but things like ticket devices, ticket machines, things like check in machines at airports and devices inside the nhs as well. and it got those machines to reboot and then they couldn't restart. this financial services company counts on crowdstrike for all their cybersecurity needs. but what if they hadn't? international cybersecurity firm crowdstrike said that the root of the problem lay in an update to its software, which was designed to protect microsoft windows devices from hacking. the company has clarified and taken responsibility for this, and said that only those devices using windows operating systems have been affected. every day there are cyber attack attempts, there are hack attempts.

you know, it has a pretty robust system, and it invests a lot in keeping that system secure. and yet somehow this little update, you know, fell through the cracks and slipped through every single net and managed to cause this complete chaos. the company released a statement. the chief executive did do an interview in which he did eventually apologise. we're deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers, to travellers, to anyone affected by this, including our companies. microsoft also issued a statement.

because of their statement and because of the implausibility for other reasons, it seems unlikely that this was linked to malign actors. part of the reason we can also see that is a lack of targeting. this wasn't specific, this wasn't directed. so many things have been affected by the outage, and that's because microsoft have got so many fingers in so many pies. so you can go from airlines. you're looking at banks being affected, kiosks in shopping centres. um, crowdstrike, as of its last earnings call, had 2a,000 customers internationally. that means 2a,000 organisations have been impacted. each of those organisations will have hundreds, maybe even thousands or more devices which could potentially be impacted. i started keeping a list of the brands that seem to be affected and i gave up within an hour because there were just so many. it is a huge thing affecting pretty much every sector. take a look at this.

they've left us a gift. i think we misjudged them. crowdstrike is a us firm founded in 2011. they protect companies from cybersecurity incidents and usually deal with the aftermath of hacking. but this time, it was to be their own product, which caused the problems. we stopped cyber attacks, - we stop breaches, we stop a lot of bad things from happening. if we think about the intersection of those companies, which both operate crowdstrike and also operate windows operating systems on their devices, this is a very large potential. it's one of the biggest dangers is if you have just one point of failure for so many systems, then at some point this was bound to happen. what was the impact of this computing crisis? i would be surprised if there hasn't been an impact on global economies. i would also be surprised if there isn't an impact on the value of crowdstrike and also to an extent, microsoft. the amount that the global economy would have been affected by this kind of move,

it's almost impossible to say because it could be billions of pounds, but it could of course, be even more than that. the it outage has also affected the value of crowdstrike itself, with shares in the firm down 15% on the nasdaq exchange in new york. well, we've already seen, um, when trading opened in the us, a large fall in crowdstrike�*s market value. we can likely expect further negative repercussions for crowdstrike in the near future because of the significance. i would reflect on the fact, however, that companies, um, have previously been exposed to, um, bad press because of cyber attacks or because of, uh, issues in their technology. it's been monumentally disruptive. and experts say fixing the problem will be time—consuming.

in many cases, requiring individual machines to be rebooted. the devices affected by the crowdstrike issue are probably going to need an engineer to go to each and every one, plug a keyboard in, do some very simple steps to to get them started again. but it is probably going to be beyond the level of capability of a lot of certainly home users. functionally, what this means is that an individual needs to go to every single device, and they need to reboot and change certain aspects of the system in order for it to work. the significance of that can't really be understated in terms of business interruption and potential cost. every single device that's been affected is still going to have to be manually rebooted in safe mode. that means somebody is going to have to do it, who knows what they're doing. the human resource cost of it, technicians or other um, technologically gifted individuals going around to each device is incredibly high. the anticipated financial disruption cost that we can expect from organisations who have had to, um, disrupt their, uh, pause their activities is also significant.

i think, given the potential shortage of technicians for an event of this scale, it's quite likely it's going to take maybe a week to get everything back up and running, maybe longer. and of course, some machines will be more accessible than others within company hardware stores. so this is going to take some time, we think, to completely rectify. while for some a fixed proved simple, many were left asking how it could be prevented from happening again. for us as individuals, it's really just about being patient, sadly. unfortunately, as everyday users, there's not an awful lot we can do. clearly, the companies involved will be taking incredible steps and going to enormous lengths and care to try and ensure this doesn't happen again, not least because it creates terrible headlines for them. it depresses their stock price as well. so they're very well incentivised to do this. it's really hard to stop this kind of thing from happening again, only because sometimes those

software updates are needed. sometimes it's the security that you need to make the whole system work can knock that system out for a couple of hours. the damage that this might do further on is, you know, cyber security experts will say to you, until they're blue in the face, you've got to do your security update. it's quite a difficult message on a day like this to say, please carry on doing your updates, even though this one has caused global chaos. ultimately, organisations depend fundamentally on digital solutions produced by large technology companies. it's not really possible in today's world to not use digital systems if you're running a business. so things are tested before they are unleashed. it's not like you would just, you know, make something and then put it out onto the world's computers without trying to make sure that it's safe. so i think probably the issue there is going to lie with crowdstrike and how it tested this update and what it missed along the way.

but i think there are also issues at microsoft's end. the outage is a reminder ofjust how integrated technology is within our society. we think about the pervasiveness of technology across our critical national infrastructure, our health care, our power generation, and so on and so forth. it becomes worrying. there are a small number of tech companies that are at the heart of so much of what we do, particularly with regards to the cloud. it has really shaken the world, i i think, and there are going to be serious questions that microsoft i is going to have to ask itself. i but the reality is on a global stage is that the more countries that own companies or have built companies like microsoft, and the more companies that there are in the market, then the less when one thing fails, everything fails. and so the reality is, is it's almost consumer choice. don'tjust put all your eggs in one basket and then this kind of stuff

might not happen again. we have become very dependent on big ttech companies providing us with the tools we need to do ourjobs. right now in the world, we have a huge reliance on technology. i now, i'm not saying that's a bad thing. i i'm not saying we should throw i the baby out with the bathwater, but we've got to be really aware that we are so reliant _ on technology. i think this is a really poignant reminder that actually we're not in control of those devices. if there's something happens at their end, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. and i know that that's - the way that the world is, but it doesn't mean that it's always going to be that way. _ what this incident shows 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.

there is now... a man has been charged in connection with disorder in a leeds suburb earlier this week. (tx iustin dobre, 37, of clifton mount, harehills, has been charged with violent disorder and arson reckless as to endanger life. he has been remanded into custody and will appear at leeds magistrates�* court tomorrow. they're an invasive species in the uk, which breed quickly, attack native wildlife and threaten to overwhelm lakes and rivers. all that makes the north american signal crayfish a major challenge for conservationists. but now, one small firm in berkshire has tried to turn the abundance of the species into an opportunity —

by serving them up on a plate. allen sinclair reports. we got enough bait left. just two to go, tom. trapping an invasive species is bound up in rules and regulations, but some problems present opportunities. there's a few in this one. there is a market. they taste absolutely fantastic. they look pretty prehistoric, but they do taste good. that's why they were introduced in the first place. this is just eight traps today. uh, we empty 150 a day. you can imagine how many we catch. they're like mini freshwater lobsters. that's not too bad. north american signal crayfish were brought to the uk 50 years ago to be farmed for european markets, but released into the wild, their population exploded. they're now rife in every river and lake. one little one. they have a massive, damaging impact because they burrow into the banks and that causes erosion. the fish that spawn in the summer,

so the coarse fish in the summer, they lay their eggs in the summer, and the crayfishjust march into those nests and eat every egg. and if they run out of food, theyjust start to eat each other. they're in too many places already, and we definitely don't want them any further. trapping crayfish to eat will barely dent their numbers, but even this level of management is awkward. tank nine. because in an effort to slow the spread, the department for environment, food and rural affairs, defra has banned the sale of live crayfish, so it's harder to sell in bulk to established european buyers. this building was designed for a swedish market or export market. we used to pretty much be able to sell live everything we could store in here. three to four tons a week we used to get rid of basically the legislation that came in in 2019, 2020. we've had to invest in a lot of technology. here, andrew's business is expanding. its recently invested a quarter

of £1 million in processing and packaging systems. we can basically supply partial or fully cooked. a lot of our sales at the moment are to foreign people living in the uk. pretty much if it's not in batter people over here, the english tend not to try it. unless we can educate people in this country to try them, basically. alan sinclair, bbc news. it's an issue that has annoyed the uk's car drivers for years — fines for over—staying in a parking place. now new rules are set to come into force that will give drivers who use private car parks a 10—minute "grace period" after the expiration of their ticket — before they are charged. the measures are part of a new code of practice that is being introduced from october, but some campaigners say it falls short. natalie bell reports. many drivers will have experienced receiving one of these from a private car parking firm. but what's got people angry is the amount they're being charged and a system, which means they feel they're not able to challenge it. this is eastgate car park in louth

run by euro car parks. they're trying to actually say that i didn't pay for parking on the day in question. this is my parking ticket. this was the machine that i got my parking ticket from. rachel is being fined £100 after parking in this private car park in louth. she'd paid for a ticket, but the machine didn't recognise the last three digits of her car registration. it's just really not fair. it feels like an absolute con, an absolute con, taking this car park away from me because i won't use it any more. i refuse to use it because of what i've been through. asa was fined £270 for overstaying in the taco bell car park in hull. we were there for an hour and a half, two hours. and then a year later i get a letter saying that, you know, the bailiffs are going to come to remove property because of a parking fine. i tried my best to get through, but it had escalated so far that they ended up putting a cc]

on my credit report. the fact that they can do that over something like this, i think is ridiculous. it's so out of proportion for what's actually happened. the people at taco bell are actually really great, but it was out at the time that taco bell could do anything about it. we contacted euro car parks but heard nothing back. creative car park say they give drivers multiple opportunities to appeal a parking notice. the british parking association say most drivers have the right to contest a parking ticket. the most important thing to remember is that if you receive a parking ticket, don't ignore it. rules are set to change for private car parks, with a new code of practice coming into force, but campaigners say that falls short of the standards needed to protect drivers. it needs to be regulated. there's a lot of stress on you. you feel like your hands are tied and you're fighting a losing battle. people need to be more aware of what they're entering

into when they enter these car parks. and they need to stand up for themselves and they need to fight. since they were first published almost 80 years ago, enid blyton�*s malory towers book series has had children dreaming of boarding school adventures. following a group of girls in post—war britain, a bbc adaptation of the books is now in its sixth series of filming. 0ur reporter, johnny rutherford, went to visit the abbey where it's shot nd even bagged himself a role on screen. this is malory towers season five, which has been running on cbbc and on the bbc iplayer. right now, series six is being shot. the studio work is in bristol, but the filming locations are in devon and cornwall and i've been given the chance to be an extra. i'm getting quite excited. it's a hair okay? which side do you normally have your part in? is it normally go this way? it doesn't do anything just. for the period.

let's go this way. this is hartland abbey in north devon, which for the tv series becomes the girls boarding school, malory towers. 0h, excuse me, you're in malory towers, aren't you? yeah! i'm n extra today. do you know where i meant to go? that way. 0h, thanks. yeah. oh, this is obviously part of the set. i'm in the right place, i think. 0h, hello. are you an actor? no, i'm johnny rutherford from bbc sport. oh, my word. lord and lady stucley, who own and live in the former abbey which they opened to the public, and often to film dramas, including the last five summers with this current production company. it's fantastic for the local economy, you know, in the heartland area, with the all the accommodation providers and everything, because it's a quiet time of year. you can't believe what this place looked like yesterday. i mean, this was covered in feathers and pillows and screaming children. and i mean, look how brilliantly everybody�*s cleared it up. that's the location.

it was a pillow fight? it was a big pillow fight. and there were feathers everywhere. and i thought, goodness me, the dogs have caught a chicken or. everything gets put back shipshape at the end of filming. so careful. it's just wonderful. excusez, do you know where i'm meant to be an extra. that excusez, do you know where i'm meant to be an extra-— excusez, do you know where i'm meant to be an extra._ we _ excusez, do you know where i'm meant to be an extra._ we have - excusez, do you know where i'm meant to be an extra._ we have to i to be an extra. that way. we have to be a bit quiet- _ to be an extra. that way. we have to be a bit quiet. how— to be an extra. that way. we have to be a bit quiet. how has it _ to be an extra. that way. we have to be a bit quiet. how has it gone? - be a bit quiet. how has it gone? we've got another six days left on location before we go to the studio where we are going to fail we've got a lot of people coming up saying how they enjoy the show. i’m a lot of people coming up saying how they enjoy the show.— they en'oy the show. i'm darrell, she is they enjoy the show. i'm darrell, she is a land- _ they enjoy the show. i'm darrell, she is a land. we _ they enjoy the show. i'm darrell, she is a land. we are _ they enjoy the show. i'm darrell, she is a land. we are arch - they enjoy the show. i'm darrell, l she is a land. we are arch enemies inthe_ she is a land. we are arch enemies inthe show. — she is a land. we are arch enemies in the show, but in real life we are actually— in the show, but in real life we are actually best friends. it has been amazing, — actually best friends. it has been amazing, life—changing experience.

action! and now the weather. hello. for most of us, the weather's pleasant enough today, a little cloudy in some areas, but wherever you are, the chances are that there will be at least some sunshine today. and so far, the best of the sun's been across northern and eastern parts of the country. if you look at the satellite picture earlier, clearerskies in eastern scotland, also around yorkshire and lincolnshire. but even here, clouds have been developing through the course of the day. so what have we got? a gentle breeze blowing out of the southwest, pushing in some thicker cloud across ireland. that might mean some rain for belfast this evening and overnight, but elsewhere it's a case of sunnier moments, cloudier moments, the odd shower and temperatures pleasant enough, high teens, low 20s. now here's that small weather system that will be moving through ireland and into the irish sea, and eventually it'll end up around northern england and southern scotland, also affecting parts of wales.

so damp weather early in the morning it's relatively mild. 15 in london, a little bit colder there in the north of scotland, perhaps single figures. so tomorrow it's fairly cloudy and damp, at least for a time in parts of scotland. elsewhere it's a day of prolonged spells of sunshine, occasional showers and actually quite brisk winds. so if you're in the south and the southwest, those winds will be quite gusty, particularly close to the coast and the temperatures around the low to perhaps mid 20s. and that small area of low pressure and its weather front moves to the east. and we see this bump in the high pressure. this is what's called a ridge of high pressure. so where the air is generally sinking and what we typically find is fair weather clouds, just the odd shower on the edge. but for the bulk of the uk, a fine day. the temperatures could be a little bit high. we might even reach 25 degrees on tuesday. so let's have a look at the outlook then, because it does look as though

at least the computer models are pointing to high pressure becoming more dominant towards the end of the month. and when we see high pressure during the summer months, that means much warmer, drier weather. and in fact, if we scan our apps and you look at the forecast even beyond this coming weekend, you should be able to see those fair weather symbols and perhaps those temperatures starting to creep up. so perhaps a sign things are settling down.
