Some GPs in Wales have been running at limited capacity without computer systems following a global IT outage.

Planes have been grounded throughout the world, many industries disrupted and TV channels forced off air.

In Wales, trains have been delayed or cancelled, GPs are having to revert to handwritten notes and are turning away all but the most serious patients.

The exact cause of the problem is unknown, although several firms have blamed an issue with Crowdstrike cyber security software.

Llan Healthcare, a GP surgery in Llanrumney, Cardiff, wrote on Facebook: "We are currently unable to access our clinical system.

"DHCW, health boards and our supplier digital teams are working hard to resolve these as a priority."

Sky Sports apologised after its coverage of the Queensland Reds against Wales rugby match was "affected" by the issues.

"Passengers who are due to fly from Cardiff Wales Airport today are advised to check our website for live flight information," said a spokesperson.
