Onjuly 19th, a bug infested update was sent to millions of computers running Microsoft Windows Around The World 7 crashing the systems of organisations from banking, to healthca re, and airlines. According to one estimate the Disaster Cost top us firms more than 5 Billion. Microsoft has announced changes to how it interacts with third Party Security firms. Our Technology Editor Zoe Kleinman looks at the effects of the outage. Thousands of flights grounded. Doctors appointments cancelled. Tv channels falling off air. The It Outage felt Around The World injuly has been described as the worst cyber event in history. Microsoft said around 8. 5 million computers Around The World were disabled after a cyber Security Company called crowdstrike sent out a corrupted Software Update to its nearly 2a,000 customers, many of them huge companies we rely on in our everyday lives. Look atjensen. Are we going to disney . Were going to disneyland right now. Jo and her children were among the thousands affected by the chaos. No explanation whatsoever. Everybody wasjust, you know, crowding around people who worked at the airport. And they were just, like, we dont know whats going on. Whats The Point Of Making Us stand here . Weve been here since ten this morning. I was heartbroken at The End of it, actually. Oh, my gosh, im sorry. Yeah, sorry. Jo managed to get money back for the cancelled flights, but she lost almost £1,000 on her disneyland tickets. 13 hours we have waited. Each month. I was like, finding myself of my wage and im not full Time. Im only part Time, you know. Thats a lot to save, isnt it . Yeah. And then itjust. And thenjust for that £900 just to be gone. Im just, you know, and then all the money i spent on the outfits, you know, that was like £300 for all the clothes to take them there, and things like that as well, and cant take them with them next year because theyll outgrown them and stuff. Oh, this is brutal. Yeah. So how did this happen . Its a tale of two glitches. Its a tale of two glitches. Crowdstrike says it did crowdstrike says it did have a system in place to make have a system in place to make sure its updates worked sure its updates worked properly before it released properly before it released them, but a glitch in that them, but a glitch in that system meant it didnt pick up system meant it didnt pick up another glitch another glitch in the update itself. And we all know what in the update itself. And we all know what happened after that. Happened after that. As youd expect, the company as youd expect, the company now says better testing now says better testing and checks will help and checks will help in the future. In the future. Tough questions are expected tough questions are expected for crowdstrike later today, for crowdstrike later today, what has changed since when one of its bosses will be when one of its bosses will be grilled by us grilled by us lawmakers in congress. Lawmakers in congress. The key answers that the key answers that we need from this we need from this hearing is, firstly, hearing is, firstly, confirmation of the technical confirmation of the technical detail of what went wrong. Detail of what went wrong. Secondly, what was the secondly, what was the failure in process here . Failure in process here . Has a failure of process has a failure of process been identified . Been identified . And if so, thirdly, and if so, thirdly, what has changed since and what are crowdstrike going to do to prevent this going wrong in future . It may seem shocking that a company many people had never heard of could cause so much chaos, but its also a reminder heard of could cause so much chaos, but today . A reminder heard of could cause so much chaos, but today . A re We Der might learn today . Will we learn anything new today . I doubt there will be very much new and we will have the same sort of technicaljargon coming out of crowdstrike. They did describe what happened but they didnt describe anything about why. There was no accountability on who has signed off on those particular Testing Procedures and how those Design Flaws in the procedures were allowed to creep in and they will have been a Risk Assessments about that type of thing and therefore somebody should be accountable and we need something that is not so laden with jargon. Something that is not so laden with Jargon Something that is not so laden with jargon. With argon. Microsoft has says it is with jargon. Microsoft has says it is improving with jargon. Microsoft has says it is improving security with jargon. Microsoft has says it is improving security and it is improving security and has safe Deployment Practices in place for its customers. Are you are assured by that . Not particularly because microsoft have had fairly good Deployment Practices for their customers for a long Time. For a long Time. And we do still get for a long Time. And we do still get these for a long Time. And we do still get these problems i for a long Time. And we do i still get these problems even with the best practice in place, you can have different software on different systems which will interact in peculiar ways. You can how things go wrong in transmission so we have seen these problems happen Time and Time again but this just happen to be the largest and most dramatic. In just happen to be the largest and most dramatic. And most dramatic. In the Re Ort and most dramatic. In the report we and most dramatic. In the report we heard and most dramatic. In the report we heard of and most dramatic. In the report we heard of individuals impacted, businesses impacted. When Ali Wong get any kind of compensation for the serious this has may be small businesses will anyone get any kind of compensation . Crowdstrike are talking about a Damages Bill so they have Money Set aside to pay damages but whether it will go to the smaller customers is very up in the air. I suspect there will be long legal battles around it and for some businesses which are smaller, they wont survive long enough to see any compensation come in. In terms of Lessons Compensation come in. In terms of lessons learned, compensation come in. In terms of lessons learned, We Compensation Come in. In terms of lessons learned, we dont of lessons learned, we dont want to experience it again, certainly crowdstrike, microsoft, so what could it prevent it happening again in the future . To prevent it happening again in the future . The future . To prevent it happening the future . To prevent it happening at the future . To prevent it happening at this the future . To prevent it happening at this sort i the future . To prevent it happening at this sort of| the future . To prevent it i happening at this sort of scale what we would need is a more diverse Technology Industry with more companies with different solutions spread out much more. The problem is we rely on a very small number of companies, even though most people are not aware to provide rely on a very small number of companies, even though most people are not aware to provide most Security And Control over most Security And Control over The Worlds technology.

Its backed by the eu and is launching in france this week following rollouts in germany and belgium. The Payment App was developed by the European Payments initiative, or epi a partnership of 16 European banks and the expectation is it will rival Apple Pay Google pay and even visa and mastercard. Weros aim is to address the eurozones long standing desire for strategic autonomy in financial services. Anna martin is head of financial services at beuc, the European Consumer organisation what is the uptake . It has rolled out in germany and belgium. Many people using it . The uptake has been slow because when you go to a Banking App you need to find it so thats the first hurdle but consumers are already using the national solutions there and they will probably see that sooner or later as well. I can understand sooner or later as well. I can understand why sooner or later as well. I can | understand why policymakers would like this to work and be successful, but what is the incentive for people in the Euro Zone using Apple Pay or visa to swap . It Euro Zone using Apple Pay or visa to swap . Euro zone using Apple Pay or visa to swap . It is you can do eer to visa to swap . It is you can do Peerto Peer Visa to swap .

Shares of Chip Maker Intel have continued to rise on reports it could be the target of one of the biggest Takeover Deals in history. In the latest development, Asset Manager Apollo is reported to be offering a 5 Billion Dollar Investment to support the boss Pat Gelsinger in his efforts to turn around the company. But Wall Street remains transfixed with reports that us rival qualcomm could be trying to engineer a friendly takeover. Lets cross live now to dan ives, Managing Director and senior Equity Analyst at Wedbush Securities what is going on here . It has been disaster what is going on here . It has been disaster for what is going on here . It has been disaster for intel what is going on here . It has been disaster for intel and i been disaster for Intel And Weve seen it play out and there is a fork in the road and in terms of strategically what they will do, and uphill battle, they are far behind when you look at towards their md, it is a pain right now that we are seeing for intel. Ii we are seeing for intel. If they were to make its move, many say it would never get through regulatory hurdles. Are you in that camp . Through regulatory hurdles. Are you in that camp . Probably less than a 1096 you in that camp . Probably less than a 10 chance you in that camp . Probably less than a 10 chance it you in that camp . Probably less than a 1096 chance it will you in that camp . Probably less than a 1096 chance it will get i than a 10 chance it will get donein than a 10 chance it will get done in the current form. Intel will have to break itself off and sell pieces to two. I think the days of seeing intel in its current state are probably over. This will be the clock struck midnight and they need major changes One Way Or Another. Major changes One Way Or Another another. So this is forcing restructuring, another. So this is forcing restructuring, so another. So this is forcing restructuring, so what i another. So this is forcing restructuring, so what is. Another.

Hes gobbi not sleeping too through the Ceos Mind . He� s gobbi not sleeping too well right now. At The End of the day, they are really missing on every Product Category and they have to evaluate how they will ultimately get to grips. You cannot cut your way to growth and this is a dark chapter for intel and they will have to figure out a path and i expect something in the next 30 days, something in the next 30 days, some sort of Break Up or strategic split up. Some sort of breakup or strategic split up. Some sort of breakup or strategic split up. Thats how we see it strategic split up. Thats how we see it. Why strategic split up. Thats how we see it.

Because they see blood in the water. Interesting . Because they see blood in the water. They i blood in the water. They recognise this as an opportunity to go after intel or pieces. They are in a position of strength. Intel is on a massive position of weakness in the huge growth area, so they are the ones with the power strategically everybody realises they are in a weaker position and they need to do something. A weaker position and they need to do something. Always good to net our to do something. Always good to get your take to do something. Always good to get your take on to do something.

Climate change poses a huge threat to humanity, and while it cannot be stopped experts say reaching Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 would enable the worst consequences of Climate Change to be avoided. Climate Week Nyc kicked Off On Sunday, in coordination with the un general assembly, and there some of the most influential leaders from business, government, and the climate sector are joining forces to champion Change And Speed up progress. Lets hear now from tove andersen, President And Ceo of tomra, one of The World s biggest Recycling Businesses welcome to the programme. Are you a part of this un event . Yes, we are here to utilise and share our Knowledge And Experience within recycling and the circular economy so we are part of different events this Week Building to champion the global Clarity Protocol and also to advocate for ambitious targets on plastic pollution. What progress have you made this week so far . This week so far . Early in the week, this week so far . Early in the week. What this week so far . Early in the week, what we this week so far . Early in the week, what we did this week so far . Early in the week, what we did today i this week so far . Early in the | week, what we did today with the World Business Council is to launch our new initiative regarding creating global security circularity protocol. The way we are utilising the resources is not sustainable so if you look at what we in The World are consuming every here, only 70 is a 7 is circular so 93 of what we are consuming is ending in landfill, incineration or even worse in nature. So we need a transition from the linear economy to a circular economy, but this definition is not easy and businesses need and want help in doing that and thats what we want to achieve with this global circularity protocol. What is most important . Is it going to be Government Policy or the stick more than the carrot. Law that will force change, really, because we have been talking about change and what we need to do for many, many years but when it comes to actual commitments on the part of companies, should they be legally forced to make changes . I think the most important thing is that we needed to put a value on the environmental impact and the negative environmental impact and that is the challenge today, amongst the other challenges is the external pollution that is not put on the producer. We need to do that and im a strong believer in incentives to drive performance and change, and we see if you put a value on the waste, you will be able to create new profitable Business Models that will drive the change we need to see. Battery Alarm Policy will play a role. When it comes to recycling, where do you see the best methods working or the best behaviour. Which countries are good at recycling . You behaviour. Which countries are good at recycling . Good at recycling . You see it in certain good at recycling . You see it in certain materials good at recycling . You see it in certain materials there i in certain materials there plastic in certain materials there plastic bottles is one example in Cerialn Plastic bottles is one example in certain countries for example in the nordic countries, so if you look to norway countries, so if you look to norway where we have the Deposit Norway where we have the Deposit Scheme on the bottles, you get Deposit Scheme on the bottles, you get Collection Rates above 90 you get Collection Rates above 90 and you get Collection Rates above 90 and also Recycling Rates of 90 90 and also Recycling Rates of 90 and 90 and also Recycling Rates of 90 and aluminium cans is another 90 and aluminium cans is another good example where you et another good example where you get the another good example where you get the higher Recycling Rate because it is profitable to recycle because it is profitable to recycle the union.

Hello. We have seen a lot of extreme rainfall over the last couple of days. Woburn in bedfordshire had 102mm of rain recorded on sunday. But on monday, it was really 0xfordshires turn to see some absolutely horrendous conditions, widespread flooding and some severe disruption. In South Newington in 0xfordshire, we recorded about 98mm through the day thats about a month and a Halfs Worth of rain. And you can see The Rain on the Radar Picture here. It is gradually easing, and over the next few hours, it will tend to become a lot lighter, a lot patchier, before becoming confined to East Anglia and south east england. So it is an improving very gradually kind of weather situation. Bit of rain coming into the far north of scotland. Thats a Cold Front that will be bringing some colder air with it, but these are the kind of temperatures youll have as you start off your tuesday morning. Tuesday, still some dribs and drabs of rain left over for East Anglia and south east england, but clearing away quite quickly. This area of more substantial rain moves southwards across scotland through the day thats our Cold Front. Much colder air spreading to the far north of scotland, where there will be a few afternoon showers. Temperatures just around 10 degrees in aberdeen. 10 as well for stornoway. Further southwards, were around 1a to 18 celsius. Now, the middle part of the week sees an area of low Pressure Move in off the atlantic, bringing more heavy rain, particularly targeted on england and wales. 0nce thats cleared through, well, then we start to get some colder air moving right the way across the country. And so for wednesday, its kind of a day where we will see rain developing from the west, so turning wet across wales, southern and western areas of england through the day. Probably a fair amount of Dry Weatherfurther northwards with some sunshine, a few showers in the forecast for Northern Areas of scotland, but it will continue to get colder across those Northern Areas. And then as we head into Wednesday Night and thursday, The Rain continues to drive its way northwards and eastwards, covering most parts of england and wales with some heavy downpours. The colder air continues to flow in across scotland and northern ireland. So temperatures in belfast, 12. 13 for edinburgh average at this Time of year is 17 degrees, so quite a long way below average. And that colder air is going to move its way southwards across all parts of the country before The End of the week. Good morning, welcome to Breakfast Withjon Kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines.
