Ceremonies have taken place to mark 80 years since the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland by the Soviet Red Army.

More than a million people, most of them Jews, were murdered at Auschwitz, the largest ever mass execution of human beings.

About 50 survivors returned to the site to lay wreaths and candles and give speeches at the commemoration service.

World leaders also attended the ceremony. The Polish President Andrzej Duda said his country would always preserve the terrible memory of Auschwitz "in order to never let it happen again".

Fiona Bruce presents BBC News at Ten coverage of the ceremony, hearing first-hand testimony and with reports by Katya Adler, Daniela Relph, and Steve Rosenberg.

Shares in major US technology firms have fallen steeply in value after the sudden emergence of a low-cost chatbot built by a Chinese artificial intelligence firm.

The DeepSeek app, which was launched last week and reportedly developed for a fraction of the cost of its rivals, has overtaken rivals including ChatGPT to become the most downloaded free app in the US.

Shortly after US markets opened, DeepSeek says it was hit with a "large-scale malicious attack".

Rebels from the Congolese M23 movement say they have entered the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city of Goma and taken control.

Sitting on the border with Rwanda and the shores of Lake Kivu, Goma is a vital trading and transport hub, home to more than a million people and within reach of mining towns supplying metals and minerals in high demand such as gold, tin and coltan.

The rebels say they now control the city, but the Congolese government says its troops still hold some key locations.

Heavy artillery and gunfire has been heard in the city throughout the day.

The M23 are led by ethnic Tutsis, who say they needed to take up arms to protect the rights of the minority group.

Four lynx were captured in the Scottish Highlands earlier in January after being illegally released into the wild.

Some have described their release as reckless and irresponsible, but there are a growing number of so-called “guerilla rewilders” who believe rare and even extinct species should be reintroduced to the country - regardless of what the government rules say.

BBC Climate Editor Justin Rowlatt went to Devon to meet Derek Gow, who breeds British indigenous animals with a view to releasing them, to discuss rewilding the animal.

Farming communities have voiced concern about the potential impact on livestock.

Ceremonies are taking place to mark 80 years since the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Some 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, were murdered at the Auschwitz complex, making it the site of the largest mass execution of human beings ever recorded.

About 50 survivors have returned to the site to lay wreaths and candles, and some will later give speeches at a service.

World leaders and King Charles are on their way to the event - but organisers want the dwindling number of survivors to be at the centre of the commemorations.

Polish President Andrzej Duda says his country's job is to preserve the memory of Auschwitz "in order to never let it happen again".

US President Donald Trump has dropped the threat of 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods after the South American nation agreed to accept deported migrants without restrictions.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro barred two US military deportation flights from landing in the country on Sunday, saying his country would only accept repatriated citizens on "civilian planes, without treating them like criminals".

A White House statement says Colombia has now agreed to accept migrants arriving on US military aircraft "without limitation or delay".

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are returning to north Gaza after Israel opened routes through the Netzarim Corridor.

Drone footage showed masses of people walking north along the coastal route, though people travelling in cars face days-long waits at checkpoints.

The Palestinians had been due to return north on Saturday, but they were held up by a row over an Israeli hostage, Arbel Yehud.

On Saturday, President Trump suggested a "clean out" of Gaza, with Palestinians resettled in Jordan and Egypt - the idea was quickly rejected by both countries, plus others in the region.

President Trump’s call to “clean out” Gaza with Palestinians moving to countries such as Egypt and Jordan has been condemned as a plan for ethnic cleansing. Mr Trump called Gaza a “demolition site” and said people there should move “either temporarily or long term”.

He said: You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing". He suggested that houses could be built “at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change”.

The President said he had made the request to Jordan's King Abdullah and Egypt's president. Both countries have rejected the idea of taking Palestinian refugees from Gaza. Hamas and the Palestinian Authority also condemned the proposal. Lawyers and human rights advocates described it as ethnic cleansing. However the proposal has been welcomed by far-right Israeli nationalists.

Mr Trump’s comments come as a fragile ceasefire is continuing in Gaza. However there is renewed tension over Israel’s refusal to allow thousands of Palestinians to return to the north of the territory.
