US civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has died aged 84. Jackson was a key figure during the US civil rights movement of the 1960s, and was known for being the first African-American to make the jump from activism to major-party presidential politics. Here, we take a look at his life in pictures. Jackson pictured in 1965 with Rosa Parks, whose arrest 10 years prior sparked the Montgomery bus boycott Jackson (centre left) stands alongside Martin Luther King Jr (centre right), Hosea Williams (left), and Ralph Abernathy (right) on the balcony of a Memphis hotel on 3 April 1968 - the day before King was assassinated In 1971, Jackson fo…

Denmark has urged the US to respect its "territorial integrity", after the wife of one of Donald Trump's top aides tweeted a map of Greenland in the colours of the American flag. Katie Miller, who is married to the US president's deputy chief of staff, posted the altered image of the Danish autonomous territory on her X feed late on Saturday, alongside the word "SOON". Danish ambassador to the US, Jesper Moeller Soerensen, reposted her message, with a "friendly reminder" of the close defence ties between the countries. Trump has repeatedly raised the possibility of Greenland becoming an annexed part of the US, citing its strategic location and mineral wealt…

With the seizure of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, Donald Trump has demonstrated more powerfully than ever his belief in the power of his will, backed by raw US military force. On his orders the US has Maduro behind bars and now will "run" Venezuela. The US president made the announcement in a remarkable news conference with enormous implications for US foreign policy worldwide at his Florida club and residence, Mar-a-Lago. Trump said the US would be in charge in Venezuela "until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition". US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he said, had spoken to the Venezuelan Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez, who had told…

At least 146 people are now known to have died in the devastating fire that tore through high-rise buildings in Hong Kong on Wednesday. Police announced the new death toll on Sunday, cautioning that they "cannot rule out the possibility of further fatalities". There still 150 people missing, and the blaze left 79 injured. Seven of eight tower blocks at the Wang Fuk Court housing complex in the northerly Tai Po district rapidly went up in flames. Accusations that the fire was spread by flammable construction materials have sparked widespread anger. Three days of national mourning started on Saturday, and thousands have gathered at the scene to mourn the vict…

Rescuers in Indonesia are searching for at least 400 people who have been reported missing, many believed to be buried under landslides, after cyclonic rains caused disastrous flooding nearly a week ago. The death toll on the island of Sumatra has risen to more than 440, the government says. Aid has been sent into affected areas by air and by sea, but some villages have yet to receive anything, and there are reports of people stealing food and water to survive. Torrential rain and storms have devastated parts of Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Sri Lanka, affecting millions of people and leaving more than 900 dead across the region this month. …

Jimmy Cliff, one of the most prominent and beloved proponents of reggae music, has died at the age of 81. A star since the 1960s, he helped to bring the sound of Jamaica to a global audience through hits such as Wonderful World, Beautiful People and You Can Get It If You Really Want. His lead role as a gun-toting rebel in the 1972 crime drama The Harder They Come is a cornerstone of Jamaican cinema, and was attributed as the movie that brought reggae to America. Cliff's wife, Latifa Chambers, announced his death via a statement on Instagram. "It's with profound sadness that I share that my husband, Jimmy Cliff, has crossed over due to a seizure followe…

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has welcomed "important steps" made during peace talks with the US in Geneva - but warned the "main problem" remained Vladimir Putin's demand for legal recognition of Russian-occupied territories in eastern Ukraine. After US and Ukrainian officials convened in Switzerland on Sunday to discuss ending the war with Russia, officials from both sides reported "progress" and an intention to continue working. However, no details have emerged on how to bridge the considerable divide between Moscow and Kyiv over territorial issues and security guarantees for Ukraine. It is now thought that Zelensky and US President Donald Trump…

Three people have been arrested in India after a daring 70m rupees ($800,000; £600,000) heist in which armed men posing as central bank officials robbed an ATM cash van.

It was quite a contrast. On Thursday, a US Pentagon delegation was in Kyiv. They were talking to President Zelensky about a draft plan to end the war in Ukraine. The same day, on Russian state TV, President Putin was in military fatigues. He was talking to his army chiefs about fighting on. "We have our tasks, our goals," the Kremlin leader declared. "The chief one is the unconditional achievement of the aims of the special military operation." The Izvestia newspaper called President Putin's visit to a command post "a signal to America that he's prepared to negotiate on Ukraine, on Russia's terms". Which brings us back to the peac…

The draft US-Russia peace plan has been widely leaked and we now know that it proposes to hand over those areas of Ukraine's industrial eastern Donbas region still under Ukrainian control to the de facto control of Vladimir Putin's Russia. Latest versions of the text also call for Ukraine to cut the size of its armed forces to 600,000 people. But what else is known about the text and who stands to benefit from it most? What are the key points? There are 28 key points and there are several on the face of it that could be acceptable to Ukraine. Others come across as vague and imprecise. Ukraine's sovereignty would be "confirmed" an…

More than 300 children and staff are now thought to have been kidnapped by gunmen from a Catholic school in central Nigeria, making it one of the worst mass abductions the country has seen. The Christian Association of Nigeria said 303 students and 12 teachers were taken from on St Mary's School in Papiri, Niger state - substantially more than previously estimated. It said the figures have been revised upwards "after a verification exercise". The kidnapping comes amid a surge of attacks by armed groups. The revised number of people taken surpasses the 276 abducted during the infamous Chibok mass abduction of 2014. Local police said armed …

Thirty-five people and three institutions have gone on trial in North Macedonia over a devastating fire at a nightclub that killed 63, mainly young, people in March. "I know about the pain of loved ones, we are all parents," Judge Diana Gruevska-Ilievska told the crowded courtroom, filled with defendants and dozens of victims' relatives. She promised the case would be conducted in a transparent and disciplined manner. Club Pulse, in the eastern town of Kocani, was packed with young Macedonians attending a concert by a popular hip-hop duo when sparks from pyrotechnic devices set fire to the ceiling. Prosecutors told the trial that years of failings …

From 10 December, social media companies will have to take "reasonable steps" to ensure that under-16s in Australia cannot set up accounts on their platforms and that existing accounts are deactivated or removed. The government says the ban - a world-first policy popular with many parents - is aimed at reducing the "pressures and risks" children can be exposed to on social media, which come from "design features that encourage them to spend more time on screens, while also serving up content that can harm their health and wellbeing". A study commissioned by the government earlier this year said 96% of children aged 10-15 used social media and that seven ou…

An unknown number of pupils have been abducted by armed men from a Catholic school in central Nigeria, the second mass school kidnapping this week. The latest attack targeted St Mary's School in Papiri, Niger state, where authorities had already ordered the temporary closure of all boarding schools due to rising security threats. Details remain unclear but residents fear that close to 100 students and staff may have been taken away during the early-morning raid. Nigeria has faced a renewed wave of attacks by armed groups in recent days, including the kidnapping on Monday of more than 20 schoolgirls, who the BBC has been told are Muslim, from a boar…

Urgent questions are being raised over a patchwork of armed groups that have emerged to fight Hamas in Gaza over recent months. They include groups based around family clans, criminal gangs and new militia – some of which are backed by Israel, as its prime minister recently admitted. Elements within the Palestinian Authority - which governs parts of the occupied West Bank and is a political rival to Hamas - are also believed to be covertly sending support. But these militia - each operating in its own local area inside the 53% of Gaza's territory currently controlled by Israeli forces - have not been officially included in US President Donald Trump…

Russia has said it is yet to receive anything official from the US on its peace plan, after Ukraine's Volodymr Zelensky said he was ready to work with the Trump administration on its "vision" to bring an end to the war. The widely leaked US plan includes proposals that Kyiv had previously ruled out, such as ceding areas of the eastern Donetsk region that it still controls, reducing its army in size, and pledging not to join Nato. These provisions come across as heavily slanted towards Moscow and received a carefully-worded response from Zelensky's office on Thursday. Meanwhile, Russian strikes continue with six people killed overnight - five in the…

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called for international action to cut off the supply of weapons to Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who are accused of mass killings in el-Fasher. At the end of a G7 foreign ministers meeting in Canada, Rubio said the RSF had committed systematic atrocities, including murder, rape and sexual violence against civilians. Sudan's army accuses the United Arab Emirates of propping up the RSF with weapons and mercenaries sent via African nations. The UAE and the RSF have repeatedly denied these allegations. The RSF has been fighting the Sudanese army since April 2023, when a power struggle between th…

The Kenyan authorities paid a network of trolls to threaten and intimidate young protesters during recent anti-government demonstrations, Amnesty International has said. A new report by the human rights organisation said government agencies also employed surveillance and disinformation to target organisers of the mass protests, which swept Kenya across 2024 and 2025. The demonstrations were driven largely by "Gen Z" activists who used social media platforms to mobilise. In response to Amnesty's report, Kenya's interior minister said the government "does not sanction harassment or violence against any citizen". But Amnesty said it had unco…

A Russian spy ship on the edge of UK waters has used lasers for the first time to disrupt RAF pilots monitoring its activities, the defence secretary has said. John Healey told a press conference in Downing Street the government was taking the "deeply dangerous" move "extremely seriously". He added that the vessel, named Yantar, was north of Scotland and had entered UK waters over the last few weeks, for the second time this year. The ship is "designed for gathering intelligence and mapping our undersea cables", Healey told journalists. "My message to Russia and to Putin is this: we see you. We know what you're doing. And if the Yantar trav…

At least 13 people have been killed in an Israeli strike near a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon, the country's health ministry says. The Israeli military said it had targeted members of the Palestinian armed group Hamas "operating in a training compound... in the Ein el-Hilweh area". It said the location was used by Hamas to plan and carry out attacks against Israel, which Hamas rejected as "fabrication and lies". Israel has carried out regular air strikes on people and places in Lebanon since a deal to end the conflict with the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah. Most strikes have targeted Hezbollah but Israel has also attacked Hamas i…

Plans to fast-track the deportation of illegal migrants and a major overhaul of human rights law are to be announced by Shabana Mahmood as part of sweeping reforms of the UK's asylum policy. Those granted asylum will be returned home if their country is at any time deemed safe, and they will have to wait 20 years to apply to settle permanently. Mahmood will also say the UK will stop granting visas to people from three African countries if their governments do not improve co-operation on removals. The home secretary hopes this bolder approach will reduce the number of people arriving and remaining in the UK, although the plans have already come in f…
