beginning to return to normal certainly in the last hour at least but from around 13, 13 on hour at least but from around 13,13 on monday hour at least but from around 13, 13 on monday facebook, i3, 13 on monday facebook, instagram and whatsapp were all on doing that and available. if you try to logon this is what you try to logon this is what you saw. it meant facebook had to use its accounts on its rival twitter to explain what was happening. there wasn't much detailjust a promise to try get things back to normal as soon as possible. not only have facebook had to deal with a major outage the company has also been dealing with the follow—up from a lesser limit whistle—blower leak. former employee claimed that the company prioritised its own growth over public safety. she's due to testify

online within the next hour or so. it will take some time to stabilise so getting back to normal and reliable versions of instagram that you're used to is not to be immediate but you should start to see them coming back online pretty soon. basically they had to turn the system off and then on again which is kind of like fixing a dvd player or something. yes, a dvd player or something. yes, a dvd

different countries in africa who is saying their businesses rely entirely on whatsapp to sell books, t—shirts, whatever they might do. a doctor man in ireland earlier today whose clouding line launched new products yesterday and he primarily relies on facebook and instagram to sell them so is losing out on thousands of dollars. and then there is the ability to log into different services of the facebook as. evenif services of the facebook as. even if you're not using facebook directly might not be able to get into different apps to use a connexion point to. so you really do see the world connected through facebook in ways that we really take for granted most of the time. we were speaking a little earlier and since then we have started to see some of these apps coming back online as we mentioned at the beginning of the programme. the company as well tweeting out that some of these services are slowly coming back but not 100% yet. if you are struggling, that's the reason why. facebook, instagram and whatsapp may have been down but i'm happy to tell you that are only two are own bbc website is still available for you. you can log on and take a look fire are apt for the latest on what went wrong with those social media sites. let's take a look at some of the other stories in the headlines. the us president biden has recused republicans were blocking his plan to try

watching brother. i'll be discussing concerns about children in the philippines now been out of school for the past 18 months because of the covid pandemic. first the first major sign of how the us president biden will tackle trade tensions with china is trade representative has outlined us strategy for working with beijing. the us and china the world to biggest economy and for years now have been tariffs on more than half of what they sell to each other. catherine highs that she would employ all choose to dry and change the dynamic between the us and china on trade. she said she would allow some us companies to apply for an exemption from punitive us tariffs. but refused to rule out further terrorist being imposed if there were further disagreements in the future. liis disagreements in the future. us china trade and economic relationship is one of profound consequence. as the two largest economies in the world how we relate to each other does not just affect our two countries it impacts the entire world and billions of workers. this bilateral relationship is complex and competitive. president biden welcomes that competition to support american workers, grow our economy and create jobs at workers, grow our economy and createjobs at home. workers, grow our economy and create jobs at home. he believes we need to manage the competition responsibly and ensure that it is fair. there's been no _ ensure that it is fair. there's been no official— ensure that it is fair. there's been no official response i ensure that it is fair. there's| been no official

her chair in chinese business and economics at the center for strategic and international studies. centerfor strategic and internationalstudies. he centerfor strategic and international studies. he spoke to us and i put it to him that the decision to allow some to apply for exemption to terrorist does appear to be a good sign. terrorist does appear to be a good sign-— good sign. certainly in the

good sign. certainly in the - good but not short-term it is. good but not short—term it is. and probably the business community here will applaud that. and there are no other measures specifically and outs other than we will start talking to the chinese. i think of the short term this suggestibility but the framing of the speech and where policy is likely headed is probably in a more hawkish direction. how different does it appear that the biden administrations approach to china will be from the former administration of president from? i think both the framing and policies are, certainly has some kind of overlaps but certainly some differences. certainly they both have a negative view of china's view of trading and global interests in both unilateral measures. what's clearly different is this emphasis that the ambassador today emphasised on renewing america's infrastructure, promoting r&d, our own manufacturing, our own competitiveness something we didn't see any drop in ministration and working with allies. both individually, and groups like the quad in the eu and the wto. again she sees both of those things is important in changing the playing feel and that

agreements, both purchases and chart his commitments to make regulatory changes. as well as talk about china's industrial policies, subsidies and probably some time in early 2020 to come up with some verdict. it could be that that verdict is most likely to be negative in which case the us administration start to move more clearly down a line of investigation and potential penalties.- potential

social media sites, whatsapp and instagram have been hit by and instagram have been hit by an outage lasting several hours. all three sites are now coming back online. the us says it could allow some companies to be exempt from tariffs if set up on china but warned it wants to see beijing honour its promises on trade. i want to bring you the story now. since the covid pandemic began more than 27,000,000 filipino schoolchildren are still learning from home rather than at school. students have been protesting on the streets of manila calling for the safe reopening of schools. the philippines has one of the lowest fully vaccinated rates in asia and the government argues it's keeping children at home to protect the vulnerable. last month the president and also very small number of schools would reopen in a pilot scheme. to understand the ramifications of all of this on join now from manila by the secretary—general of the alliance of concerned teachers in the philippines. it's great to

push its way into the southeast of scotland. forwales, midlands scotland. for wales, midlands in scotland. forwales, midlands in southern england may well brighten up. to be some sunshine but also some showers. around the area of low pressure we've got really strong winds particularly where it is wet. that's going to make it feel cold. some of the wet weather could push into the northeast of scotland later but we are missing the worst of the weather across western scotland and northern ireland. with no more than one or two showers and some sunshine. the air of low pressure that's bringing the wet when the weather is slowly going to move away during wednesday. the next weather system is going to be pushing in from the atlantic. we start windy on wednesday for eastern england. the winds will use some of the cloud and showers move away, sunshine comes out for many errors then we look to the west, it's going to be clouding over through the day and then the afternoon summer rain pushing
