The UN has warned that civil order is starting to break down in Gaza, after thousands of people looted warehouses, desperate for food. Israel has moved more ground forces into the Strip and says its jets hit at least 450 Hamas targets in just 24 hours. More than 8,000 people have now been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry, and 41% of them are children.

Israel expanding ground operations in Gaza, says IDF spokesman

Police have advised residents in southern Maine to stay home and lock their doors - as hundreds of police hunt for a gunman who shot dead 18 people and injured 13 others. Officers have named 40 year old Robert Card as a person of interest, describing him as armed and dangerous. The shootings happened at a bowling alley and a bar in the small city of Lewiston, and President Biden has ordered flags to fly at half mast in memory of the victims.

Voters in Argentina are heading to the polls today in a general election. It's taking place amid a challenging situation for the country with inflation running at 140 per cent and spiralling poverty. All eyes are on Javier Milei, a Donald Trump-admiring libertarian who's hoping to attract disillusioned supporters away from Argentina’s main parties. He says his controversial policies are the shock therapy the country needs. But his opponents say he's a far-right populist with dangerous ideas.

The England and Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has died at the age of 86. He played a key role in England's 1966 world cup victory. Sir Geoff Hurst is now the only surviving member of the team. Manchester United described Charlton as "a hero to millions" around the world.

Around 20 trucks carrying aid have managed to cross into Gaza through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt - which the UN said would be a mere drop in the ocean compared with the overwhelming need. Food, medical supplies and water are running perilously short in the enclave - as Israel continued to launch airstrikes against Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the UK. The UN chief has led calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire - describing the situation inside Gaza as a "god awful nightmare".

Along with the very real and violent war on the ground - there is also a fierce information war. Like Tuesday's explosion at the Gaza hospital which Hamas says killed hundreds of people. Israel says it was a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket, which they deny. Hamas says it was an Israeli airstrike, which they deny. But Forensic Architecture, Earshot and the Ramallah based NGO Al Haq have shared new information with Channel 4 News they say casts doubt on some aspects of Israel’s account.

They were rock solid Tory seats with huge majorities - but Labour managed to pull off a double by-election victory - taking Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire, in a dismal night for the Conservative party. Sir Keir Starmer hailed his party's success - describing it as "history in the making" and claiming Labour was "redrawing the political map".

At least three people have been killed, hundreds of flooded homes have been evacuated and a red weather warning has been extended for another day - as Storm Babet continues to cause havoc around the country. Flooding has closed roads and disrupted transport across the north of England and the West Midlands. A holiday flight from Corfu skidded off the runway at Leeds Bradford Airport, while a major incident was declared in Sussex - with people ordered not to travel unless "absolutely essential".

20 trucks of aid will be delivered to Gaza after the US, Israel and Egypt struck a deal allowing the Rafah border to be open for limited humanitarian assistance. But Executive Director of WHO Health Emergencies Programme, Dr Michael Ryan, says "20 trucks is a drop in the ocean of need right now in Gaza"

Inside Gaza- Eyewitness reports ‘nowhere is safe’ But Yousef Hammash is a Gazan filmmaker and an advocacy officer for the Norwegian Refugee Council who's been sending us eyewitness reports on what life is like there. He heeded Israel's call for civilians to relocate south, moving his family to Khan Younis in search of safety. But as he explains - now - nowhere is safe. A warning again, this report contains distressing scenes.

'Hundreds killed' after Israel airstrike hits Gaza hospital, Palestinians officials claim

The UN is accusing Israel of showing a "flagrant disregard for the lives of civilians" after it bombed a Gaza school where thousands were sheltering, killing at least six people. It says no place is safe in the crowded Strip - which is rapidly running out of food, water, fuel and medical supplies to treat its 12 thousand wounded. Four days ago Israel told Gazans to move south for their own safety. But today it bombed just outside the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, where hundreds of thousands have taken shelter - killing dozens of people. You may find some of this report distressing.

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been criss-crossing the Middle East - trying to stop the conflict engulfing the region. Yesterday, he returned to Israel, where he discussed humanitarian aid with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But diplomatic efforts have failed to secure even a brief ceasefire so the Rafah Crossing could open. And that's left foreign nationals trapped in Gaza and desperately-needed aid stuck in Egypt. Warning this report contains distressing content.
