Mcdonalds says its aware of a Technology Outage impacting restaurants, and that the issue is being resolved. They said its not related to a Cyber Security event. Joining us now from new york is michelle fleury. Not michelle mcfleury as i would be tempted to say in other circumstances. What is going on . Restau ra Nts Restaurants have been affected overnight and it seems to be able to play a big issue in bangkok, australia, also where you are in the uk and ireland. Some stores had to close reportedly because the it systems went down, people were not able to order because of the touchscreens are not able to place mobile orders. In some cases they went back to pen and paper to take orders and that old thing of accepting cash. All of this has been accepting cash. All of this has been a black eye for the chicago based company who have come out and said it is not related to a Cyber Security attack but they have not given any more details about what caused the outage. They said in a statemen

Hello, sweetheart. Good girl. 0k, there you go. And then at the back here, its rough, you can touch at the back here. Oh, yeah at least you are able to lay your hands on what is the last of a being on the planet. It is sad and i hope it doesnt happen again to another species. And why are they so rare, james . Um, its basically poaching, which has just been driven by human greed and greed in different forms greed for power, greed for their medicinal aspects. Someone who has been made to believe, traditionally, that if they drink a rhino horn, its a cure for cancer. They can pay any amount to get a small piece of rhino horn. But thats not true on the black market, a kilo of rhino horn is now selling for something more than us 60,000. You can imagine a rhino, that is a lot of money and its a lot of business and thats why still poaching becomes a serious problem. I kind of want to show you a footprint of a rhino. Right here, we have one. Its humbling to meet najin and fatu, but frustrating

Shes urged the west not to recognise what will be putins fifth term as president. Our russia editor, steve rosenberg, is in moscow with more. Russias democracy is the best in the world, the kremlin says. And at Polling Station 38 in moscow, we found a choice of candidates and plenty of voters. Democracy in action, right . Not quite. Realistically, only one man can win this. Vladimir putin the man whos been on russias political stage for the last quarter of a century. Vladimir putin faces no serious challenger. His fiercest rivals are in exile or in prison. Not that this woman, whose son is fighting in ukraine, wants any change at the top. Of course i voted for putin, she says. I trust him. But not everyone who came out today was actually voting. This, one of a string of attacks on Polling Stations across russia. They are unprecedented. After chaotic scenes here. An arsonist is detained. And green ink poured into a ballot box. The authorities called the attackers scum. Some voters were
