Gaza's civil defence authorities say at least eight Palestinians were killed in overnight strikes which hit residential buildings.

The attacks came after Hamas said it had agreed to the latest stage of a deal to end the war.

But Israel remained non-committal on the agreement which would see Hamas disarm in exchange for Israel's military withdrawal from Gaza.

Donald Trump says he has cancelled strikes against Iran, provided a deal is struck "rapidly" with the country.

In a post on Truth Social, the US president said he had been asked by Iran and other countries in the Middle East to "hold off" on any attack as the "perimeters" of a deal had been agreed.

Trump's comments came after reports that the US and Israel may have been planning new, intense strikes on Iran.

What if we could measure every leaf, branch and tree across the world's forests?

New technologies are making that possible. Scientists are using satellites, laser scanners and AI to create super detailed 3D maps, revealing how much carbon is stored by forests and how they're changing because of climate change and deforestation.

Tech Now's Yasmin Morgan-Griffiths spoke to leading tree ecologists and went exploring in the woods to find out more.

Sleep has rules - there's the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.

It's not just something we do, it's something we measure.

But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

In this episode AI Decoded asks whether the AI revolution is delivering on its promises.

Companies and organisations are spending vast sums on artificial intelligence after being promised AI will transform productivity, improve efficiency and unlock entirely new ways of working.

Yet a growing number of investors and analysts are asking a simple question: where's the proof?

Research suggests only a small percentage of enterprise AI projects are producing measurable value. Businesses have bought the software, invested in licences and launched pilot projects, but many are still struggling to turn that investment into meaningful results.

So is AI failing to live up to expectations? Or are companies simply approaching adoption the wrong way

Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Peter Grant CEO of GoWeaver AI, James Kuht founder of Pair AI and co-host and author of Technology Is Not Neutral, Dr Stephanie Hare.

As parts of Europe continue to battle ongoing wildfires and persistent heatwaves, has the norm of a holiday in Europe changed forever?

Just this week, fires near tourist hotspots like Bordeaux were described as "fires of the century" and Spain declared a national emergency after wildfires swept near its capital of Madrid.

Meanwhile, the rising temperatures are having a knock-on effect to costs of holidaying in Europe, with sunbeds in some areas sometimes costing more than a flight to reserve.

It began with a fear familiar to millions of young Indians: if the examinations that determine their future cannot be trusted, what can?

Weeks later, tens of thousands of young men and women tried to march on India's parliament. Police responded with tear gas and baton charges. Thousands more have returned to the streets in the days since.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement, which started out as a meme on social media, born out of anger over repeated examination paper leaks, quickly became India's biggest student mobilisation in years.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino says he has scrapped the controversial plan to sell off stakes in the governing body's competitions to private investors following widespread opposition.

Infantino said it had become clear the project had "created divisions" that are "no longer in the interest" of its original objective.

Infantino had offered Fifa's 211 member associations $40m (£30m) if they backed a proposal for private investment in its tournaments, including the men's and women's World Cups.

However, Uefa - which governs European football - responded by voting to boycott World Cups if the plans went ahead, and other governing bodies also voiced their opposition.
