US President Donald Trump said he would offer every adult American a $5,000 (£3,700) payout if Republicans win both chambers of Congress in November's midterm elections – a plan that would cost more than a trillion dollars.

The offer was made in a speech at the party's first-ever convention in the middle of a US presidential term.

He gave no details on how it would work or be funded – saying only that the money would have to be spent in the US. Vice-President JD Vance has linked the plan to the revenue that Trump has raised from US tariffs on imported goods.

Democrats labelled it an "empty promise" and others questioned whether such a pledge was legal or feasible.

Doors have opened to the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at the British Museum in London.

It has gone on public display in the UK for the first time since it was created nearly 1,000 years ago.

The 70m tapestry, originally embroidered in England but kept for centuries in France, tells the story of the Norman Conquest and the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Outside the museum, visitors have queued to get in to be some of the first to see it.

It’s almost 20 years since the first iPhone was released and since then more than three billion have sold worldwide, and Apple has now unveiled its first ever foldable iPhone.

With a book-style format, the new iPhone, dubbed the Duo, is the largest ever size of the product. And with a US starting price of $1,999 (£1,475) going up to $3,200, it is also the most expensive. UK prices start at £1,999.

Apple's new chief executive John Ternus said the Duo was "inspired by the iPad" but called the folding features "fluid and completely intuitive."

Fighting between the US and Iran has escalated further, with the biggest back and forth strikes targeting shipping since the war started.

Iran claims to have seized an unmanned American submersible it in the Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon says the craft "malfunctioned".

Oil has risen above $100 a barrel for the first time since July as disruption and uncertainty grows.

And the global nuclear watchdog agrees to refer Iran to the UN Security Council, over what the IAEA says is “non-compliance” with nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty obligations.

On Tuesday, the UK government announced sweeping sanctions against Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and accused settlers of ‘ethnic cleansing.’

Soon after, 11 other countries, including Canada, France, Spain and Poland, announced a ban on goods imported from illegal settlements.

In response, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said there would "without a doubt" be a reaction from the US, adding that the move could have a “huge economic impact on British businesses."

What do the sanctions suggest about the US’s complex relationship with its western allies?

The Global Story’s Asma Khalid speaks with BBC State Department correspondent Tom Bateman about the diplomatic consequences of US allies sanctioning the West Bank.

A top safety researcher at Anthropic has warned AI is advancing so quickly he believes there is a greater than 10% chance it "could kill all humans" within the next decade.

Evan Hubinger said the risk from the models which currently exist was "low" but he was "worried" the technology might develop and improve itself soon to the point where it posed an existential risk to humanity.

Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher who has just quit Anthropic and previously worked at OpenAI, has also said “neither company is acting responsibly”.

we look at Israel’s reaction to UK sanctions against Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

The Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar announced retaliatory counter-measures, including the closure of the British Consulate in Jerusalem. Meanwhile in the UK, foreign secretary Ed Miliband has disagreed with Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis who described the move as a "truly dark day" that put British Jews in greater danger.

We also look at the implications in the lead up to the October Israeli elections, and for the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Regularly drinking tea and coffee at very hot temperatures increases the risk of cancer of the food pipe or gullet, known as oesophageal cancer, UK research suggests.

Researchers say the findings, from a study of nearly a million people, make this the largest to date to establish the link.

In the study, people who had their drinks "very hot" had around a three times higher risk of the cancer than "warm" tea or coffee drinkers - although experts stress the overall chances of developing this cancer are low.
