“Italian” tomato purees sold by several UK supermarkets appear to contain tomatoes grown and picked in China using forced labour, the BBC has found.

A total of 17 products, most of them own-brands sold in UK and German retailers, are likely to contain Chinese tomatoes - testing commissioned by the BBC World Service showed.

Most Chinese tomatoes come from the Xinjiang region, where their production is linked to forced labour by Uyghur and other largely Muslim minorities.

The UN accuses the Chinese state - which views these minorities as a security risk - of torture and abuse.

China denies it forces people to work in the tomato industry and says workers’ rights are protected by law. It says the UN report is based on “disinformation and lies”.

All the supermarkets whose products we tested dispute our findings.

Russia carried out "a series of air strikes" in Syria on Sunday as rebels advanced after seizing Aleppo, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).

The Syrian government has meanwhile lost control of Aleppo for the first time since the country's civil war began, the observers told news agency AFP.

The surprise offensive by opposition forces, which began on Wednesday, marks the most significant fighting in Syria's civil war in recent years.

It has been led by the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), as well as allied factions backed by Turkey.

Russian strikes hit Aleppo for the first time since 2016 on Saturday as rebel fighters swept into Aleppo, Syria's second-largest city, the observers said.

The Russian air force played a significant role in keeping President Bashar al-Assad in power during the peak of the civil war.

US President-elect Donald Trump has called Joe Biden’s decision to officially pardon his son Hunter “an abuse” and “a miscarriage of justice”.

The outgoing president made the decision despite previously saying that he wouldn’t interfere with the US justice department’s decisions.

Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to tax charges earlier in September, and was found guilty of being an illegal drug user in possession of a gun in June - becoming the first child of a sitting president to be a convicted of a crime.

In a statement, President Biden said his son had been "singled out”.

Hunter Biden said mistakes he made during the darkest days of his addiction had been "exploited to publicly humiliate and shame" his family.

Rebel fighters in Syria have been pushing south after capturing the country’s second-biggest city Aleppo. They have occupied more towns near the city of Hama.

The surprise offensive marks the most significant fighting in Syria's civil war in recent years. The rebels are led by the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham as well as allied factions backed by Turkey. Syria's defence ministry said it was reinforcing defensive lines in the region with troops, rocket launchers and heavy military hardware.

Russia, which backs Syria’s President Assad, has been carrying out air strikes on the rebels’ new positions, according to observers. It’s reported that 12 people were killed in a strike on a hospital in Aleppo, while a strike on the north-western city of Idlib is said to hae killed eight civilians and wounded more than 50.

Syria’s ally Iran also said it was offering support to President Assad and his armed forces.

A couple who became parents to identical triplets after struggling to conceive "for years" said the last few months had been “magical and amazing”.

Shannon and Ace Page, both 28 and from Somerset, UK, turned to in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment last year.

For some couples, IVF treatment is their only chance of being able to have children - but the process can be long, difficult, and emotionally draining.

The three boys, Cruz, Enzo and Aljo, were delivered healthy in a Bristol hospital at 29 weeks and six days.
