Description

A major IT outage has affected businesses and organisations in much of the world, from airports and banks to hospitals and media outlets, including Australia's public broadcaster.

Also in the programme: a Russian court sentences the American journalist Evan Gershkovich to 16 years in prison on charges of spying; and less than a week after the attempt on his life, Donald Trump addresses the Republican Convention.
