Turkish authorities have detained the mayor of Istanbul, just days before he was due to be selected as a presidential candidate.

Ekrem Imamoglu, from the secular Republican People's Party (CHP), is seen as one of Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdogan's strongest political rivals.

Prosecutors accused him of corruption and aiding a terrorist group, calling him a "criminal organisation leader suspect".

Imamoglu said online "the will of the people cannot be silenced".

Sir Gareth Southgate says he fears young men are spending too much time gaming, gambling and watching pornography - and they need better role models beyond online influencers.

The ex-England men's football manager made the comments during the BBC's annual Richard Dimbleby Lecture, also speaking about his own experience of missing a crucial penalty at Euro 96, saying he didn't let it define him.

Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa has told the BBC he wants US, European and Brazilian armies to join his "war" against criminal drug gangs in the country.

He also said he wanted the US President Donald Trump to designate Ecuadorean gangs as terrorists, as he has done with some Mexican and Venezuelan cartels.

Mr Noboa is hoping to get re-elected in April, and has defined his presidency through a military crackdown on criminal gangs. While murders have fallen slightly, violence remains incredibly high, largely fuelled by drug gangs fighting to control cocaine trafficking routes to places like the US and Europe. 781 homicides were recorded in Ecuador in January alone.

South America Correspondent Ione Wells interviewed him at the presidential palace in Quito.

At least 13 people have reportedly been killed in air strikes across Gaza overnight, after Israel said it was resuming combat operations in the Palestinian territory.

Two civilians were killed and five others injured when an Israeli drone hit a tent near the al-Mawasi humanitarian zone, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reports, citing Red Crescent medics.

Israel's army said it had targeted what it called a Hamas military site from where the group was preparing to fire into Israel. Vessels controlled by Hamas were also hit, the army said.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have finally arrived back on Earth after nine months in space.

Their SpaceX capsule made a fast and fiery re-entry through the Earth's atmosphere, before four parachutes opened to take them to a gentle splashdown off the coast of Florida.

It brings to an end a mission that was supposed to last for just eight days.

It was dramatically extended after the spacecraft Butch and Suni had used to travel to the International Space Station (ISS) in suffered technical problems.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has rejected an immediate and full ceasefire in Ukraine, agreeing only to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, during a phone call negotiation with US President Donald Trump.

The Russian leader declined to sign up to the comprehensive month-long ceasefire that Trump's team recently agreed with Ukrainian negotiations during talks in Saudi Arabia.

Putin again set conditions which have already been rejected by Ukraine and its European allies. He said a comprehensive ceasefire can only take place if there is Ukraine’s allies stop all military aid and intelligence sharing. The Russian President also said that Ukraine must end all military mobilisation.

The US and Russian leaders did agree that further peace talks would take place in the Middle East.

Trump posted on social media that the phone call with the Russian leader was "very good and productive.... we agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure, with an understanding that we will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine."

However the outcome of the phone call amounts to a disappointing lack of progress for the Trump administration on its plan to end the war.

We look at big changes to the benefits system which the UK government say aim to save £5bn a year by 2030.

They were announced in the House of Commons by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall who said the changes would create a more “pro-work system”. However, charities and some Labour MPs are worried benefit cuts will push disabled people into poverty. Alex and James talk through the changes with Chris, and then are joined by the pensions minister Torsten Bell.

And, President Putin has agreed to halt strikes on Ukraine energy targets for 30 days after a call with President Trump. The two men spoke for around 90 minutes, and fresh Ukraine peace talks will also begin in the Middle East immediately, the White House says. Alex and James are joined by Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet.

There's a chance your next favourite game is already out there - but the reality is that unless you look really hard, you may not find it right away.

Discoverability is an issue which smaller game developers are faced with every year, battling against dominant giants, discounted titles and free-to-play games that retain players for a long time.

Ludocene, a dating-style app, was created in an attempt to combat this. Its recommendations are hand-picked by gaming journalists, streamers and podcasters. The hope is to stop some games slipping through the cracks. It's going to launch in August after smashing its Kickstarter target.

BBC Newsbeat caught up with its creator Andy Robertson to see how it works, and look at whether it can make a difference?

German lawmakers have voted to allow a huge increase in defence and infrastructure spending - a seismic shift for the country that could reshape European defence.

A two-thirds majority of Bundestag parliamentarians, required for the change, approved the vote on Tuesday.

The law will exempt spending on defence and security from Germany's strict debt rules, and create a €500bn ($547bn; £420bn) infrastructure fund.

This vote is a historic move for traditionally debt-shy Germany, and could be hugely significant for Europe, as Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine grinds on, and after US President Donald Trump signalled an uncertain commitment to Nato and Europe's defence.
