The latest Israeli strikes have killed at least 85 more Palestinians across the Gaza Strip according to local health officials. They say at least 592 people have now been killed in the past three days, after Israel unilaterally ended a ceasefire agreement.

Hamas fired three rockets at Israel in response to the latest airstrikes, without causing casualties. It’s the first time Hamas has fired rockets at Israel since it ended the truce.

The Israeli military said it was again enforcing a blockade on northern Gaza including Gaza City. Palestinians can no longer enter the north of the territory, the military said, and are only allowed to move south on foot using the coastal road.

How did Donald Trump get close to Elon Musk? What is the story behind his relationship with Melania, and how did Trump get re-elected against all the odds?

Donald Trump is no stranger to the journalist Michael Wolff, whose latest book is his fourth on the current president. His book, All or Nothing, details the story of Trump’s comeback and and his relationships to the people who helped him do it.

Trump himself has called Wolff “fake news”, and described the book as “junk.”

Justin spoke with the journalist and author about who is sources are, whether he spoke to Trump whilst writing this book, and why a staffer carries a printer on the golf course.

Colombian energy giant Ecopetrol has polluted hundreds of sites with oil, including water sources and biodiverse wetlands, BBC Eye has found.

Data leaked by a former employee reveals more than 800 records of these oil-polluted sites from 1989 to 2018, and indicates the company had failed to report about a fifth of them.

The BBC World Service has also obtained figures showing the company has spilled oil hundreds of times in the past five years. Ecopetrol says it complies fully with Colombian law and has industry-leading practices on sustainability.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has faced backlash since he was appointed head of the controversial Department for Government Efficiency and charged with taking an axe to federal government spending.

Musk has also intervened in politics abroad, making a video appearance at a rally for the far-right party Alternative für Deutschland ahead of Germany's parliamentary election, and launching online attacks on British politicians.

Some who do not share his views, have protested outside dozens of Tesla dealerships, not only in the US, but also in Canada, the UK, Germany and Portugal.

What is hard to quantify is exactly how much impact all this has had on Tesla as a business - and the extent to which Musk's views and involvement in the Trump administration has affected the brand and alienated some traditional electric vehicle buyers.

Authorities in Turkey have arrested dozens of people for "provocative" social media posts after the mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu was detained on Wednesday.

Imamoglu was one of more than 100 people held on charges including corruption and aiding terrorist groups - a move that has sparked protests in Istanbul and the capital Ankara.

A member of the secular Republican People's Party, Imamoglu is a key rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and was set to be named a presidential candidate for the 2028 elections later this week.

Critics say his arrest is a "coup" and are planning further demonstrations, despite Istanbul's pro-Erdogan governor banning protests for four days.

The Hamas-run civil defence agency has said at least 55 Palestinians have been killed in overnight Israeli air strikes in Gaza.

Israel resumed its bombing campaign and ground operations in the territory this week, with air strikes killing more than 430 people over two days, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Hamas says the ground operation announced by Israel on Wednesday is a "new and dangerous" violation of the ceasefire deal. Israel resumed attacks on Tuesday as talks to extend the deal failed to progress.

Israel has warned that attacks will intensify in Gaza until Hamas releases the remaining hostages.

The BBC does not currently have access to Gaza.

President Donald Trump has suggested the US could take ownership of power plants in Ukraine to ensure their security.

White House officials said the proposal came in Trump's phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday - but the Ukrainian president says only the Zaporizhzhia plant was discussed.

Zelensky said lasting peace was achievable this year after the "positive" phone call. Trump described the phone call as "very good".

Meanwhile, the UK will be holding talks later today with senior military officers from countries interested in a proposed peacekeeping force for Ukraine.

Russia and Ukraine launched air attacks that damaged each other's infrastructure, just hours after Vladimir Putin said Russia would stop targeting Ukrainian energy sites.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia's targets included hospitals. He said the Russian leader had in effect rejected a comprehensive ceasefire in his phone talks with US President Donald Trump.

Putin told Trump a full ceasefire would only work if Ukraine's allies stopped giving military assistance - a condition Ukraine's European allies have previously rejected.

Officials in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar said that a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a small fire at an oil depot. Within hours of Putin agreeing to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, Zelensky said there had been "hits, specifically on civilian infrastructure", including a hospital in Sumy.

The region's government posted footage of the destruction, in which smoke can be seen rising from the caved-in hospital wing. Officials have since said that there had been no casualties.

Russian state media has reported the Trump-Putin phone call as a victory for their country, with President Putin rejecting calls for a 30-day ceasefire and restating previous conditions.

Nicholas Prosper, 19, has been sentenced to a minimum of 49 years in prison for murdering his mother, brother and sister in Luton, UK, last year.

The bodies of Juliana Falcon, 48, Kyle Prosper, 16, and Giselle Prosper, 13, were found at their home in September.

After killing his family, Prosper planned to carry out a mass shooting at his former primary school - having chosen a Friday 13th date deliberately.

Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said Prosper "intended to unleash disaster on the community of Luton" and was "inappropriately cheerful" after being arrested.

The court heard Prosper hoped to kill his family while they slept - but after a noisy struggle, he left the flat and neighbours called police.
