Every time Aryan Asari heard the sound of an airplane, he would go darting out of the house to look for it.

Spotting planes was something of a hobby for him, his father Maganbhai Asari said. Aryan loved the roaring sound of the engine fill the air and then grow louder as the plane cruised above him, leaving behind chalky threads of contrail in the sky,

But now, the very thought of it makes him sick.

Last Thursday, the 17-year-old had been on the terrace of Mr Asari's house in Ahmedabad city, making videos of airplanes, when an Air India Dreamliner 787-8 crashed right before his eyes and burst into flames, killing 241 on board. Nearly 30 people were also killed on the ground.

The moment was captured by Aryan on his phone.

"I saw the plane. It was going down and down. Then it wobbled and crashed right before my eyes," he told BBC Gujarati in an interview earlier this week.

The video, now a crucial clue for investigators trying to find the cause of the crash, has sent ripples through the news media and put Aryan - a high school student - at the centre of one of the worst aviation disasters in the country's history.

"We have been swamped by interview requests. Reporters have been milling around my house day and night asking to speak to him," Mr Asari told the BBC.

The incident - and what has followed since - has had a "devastating impact" on Aryan, who is traumatised by what he saw. "My son is so scared that he has stopped using his phone," Mr Asari said.

A retired army soldier, who now works with the city's metro service, Mr Asari has been staying for three years in a neighbourhood close to the airport. He recently moved to a small room located on the terrace of a three-storey building, with a clear view of the city skyline.

His wife and two children - Aryan and his elder sister - live in their ancestral village near the border between Gujarat and Rajasthan states.

"This was Aryan's first time in Ahmedabad. Actually, it was the first time in his life that he left the village," Mr Asari said.

"Whenever I'd call, Aryan would ask if I could spot airplanes from our terrace and I would tell him you could see hundreds of them streaking the sky."

Aryan, he explained, was an aeroplane enthusiast and liked looking at them as they flew in the sky over his village. The idea that he could see them much more closely from the terrace of his father's new home was very appealing to him.

An opportunity presented itself last week when Mr Asari's daughter, who wants to become a police officer, travelled to Ahmedabad to write the entrance examination.

Aryan decided to accompany her. "He told me he wanted to buy new notebooks and clothes," Mr Asari said.

The siblings arrived at their father's house around noon on Thursday, roughly an hour-and-a-half before the crash.

The family ate lunch together, after which Mr Asari left for work, leaving the children at home.

Aryan stepped out on the terrace and started making videos of the house to show to his friends. That's when he spotted the Air India plane and began filming it, he told BBC Gujarati.

Aryan soon realised that something was not quite right about the aircraft: "It was shaking, moving left and right," he said.

As the plane went on a downward spiral, he kept filming it, unable to grasp what was about to happen.

But when thick smoke filled the air and fire spewed out of the buildings, he finally realised what he had just witnessed.

He sent the video to his father and called him up.

"He sounded so frightened - 'I saw it papa, I saw it crash,' he said to me and kept asking me what would happen to him. I told him to sit tight and not to worry," Mr Asari said. "But he was beside himself in horror."

Mr Asari also asked his son to not share the video further. However, too scared and shocked, Aryan sent it to a few of his friends. "The next thing we knew, the clip was everywhere."

The next few days were a nightmare for the family.

Neighbours, reporters and camera persons flooded Mr Asari's small house day and night, requesting to speak to Aryan. "We could do nothing to stop them," he said.

The family also received a visit from the police, who took Aryan to the station and recorded his statement.

Mr Asari clarified, that contrary to reports, Aryan was not detained, but that police questioned him for a few hours about what he saw.

"My son was so disturbed by then that we decided to send him back to the village."

Back at home, Aryan has resumed school but is "still not feeling like himself. His mother tells me that every time his phone rings, he gets scared", Mr Asari said.

"I know he will be fine with time. But I don't think my son will try looking for airplanes in the sky again," he added.

Dame Louise Casey has called for a newly-announced inquiry into grooming gangs to be used as a "moment to have a national reset" on the issue.

The crossbench peer's report into the nature and scale of group-based child sexual abuse in England and Wales paved the way for a new national inquiry announced at the weekend by Sir Keir Starmer.

Baroness Casey urged those called to give evidence to the inquiry to be open to scrutiny and change.

She told the Commons home affairs committee she wanted the government to "crack on" with the inquiry, suggesting it could be completed within three years, with regular updates before the final report.

She was also quizzed by MPs about her report's finding that the ethnicity of people involved in grooming gangs had been "shied away from" by the authorities.

The peer urged people to "keep calm" on the subject of ethnicity.

Pointing out that her report had said data on the ethnicity of perpetrators was "incomplete and unreliable", she said: "If you look at the data on child sexual exploitation, suspects and offenders, it's disproportionately Asian heritage.

"If you look at the data for child abuse, it is not disproportionate, and it is white men.

"So again, just [a] note to everybody really, outside here rather than in here, let's just keep calm here about how you interrogate data and what you draw from it."

Baroness Casey said she did not think it was "unreasonable" to hold the government to account in six months' time on whether her 12 recommendations have been implemented.

"I hope this is a line in the sand, and I think the 12 things that we're asking for are not impossible.

"They're not pipe dreams, they're achievable."

She also told the committee she would like to see "quite a significant uplift in the prosecutions, the action, the criminal investigations on child sexual exploitation, both historic and current".

Reality star Kim Woodburn has died at the age of 83, her manager has confirmed.

The TV personality was best known for appearing on How Clean Is Your House and Celebrity Big Brother star.

Her manager told BBC News: "It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved Kim Woodburn passed away yesterday following a short illness.

"Kim was an incredibly kind, caring, charismatic and strong person. Her husband Peter is heartbroken at the loss of his soulmate.

"We are so proud of the amazing things Kim achieved in her life and career."

Many Iranians have reacted with fear and dismay at Donald Trump's instruction to "immediately evacuate Tehran".

The capital's almost 10 million residents have now been left to decide whether to shelter in their homes - bracing themselves for what could come next - or attempt to join the heavy traffic leaving the country's capital.

President Trump made his comments just moments before cutting short his trip to the G7 in Canada, leaving many wondering if this could mean a further escalation in the conflict between Israel and Iran was imminent.

Many of those deciding to leave Tehran are posting images of their homes online, a poignant trend in Persian-language social media for those leaving their city behind.

BBC journalists are currently unable to report in Iran due to restrictions by the Iranian government. However, BBC Persian and other BBC correspondents have received messages from people affected. They have also conducted interviews and monitored social media to gather people's stories. Many fear speaking to media could put them at risk inside Iran, so real names have not been used.

Some Iranians had already taken the decision to leave well before Israel issued the first evacuation order for parts of Tehran on Monday.

One resident, Arash, set off from Tehran at about 08:45 on Monday, driving through the town of Qazvin, in north-western Iran.

A journey that would typically last an hour-and-a-half took him nearly five hours.

"Many, especially those who live abroad, are trying to leave the country," he said.

Many more Iranians living in Tehran have decided to leave since Monday, braving traffic jams of up to 14 hours and fuel queues to flee - unsure if their homes will still be standing when they return.

It is expected that even more will attempt to make the arduous journey out of Tehran following Trump's comments.

Posting on social media, one resident wrote: "I packed up keepsakes from loved ones and necessities, watered my plants, and hit the road. Leaving home is unbearably hard when you don't know if you'll ever return."

Another said: "My home has never felt this sad. I don't know if I'll ever come back."

One user posted a picture of a workspace, with a computer and headphones, and wrote: "I said goodbye to the things I worked so hard to earn... I hope they'll still be here when I return."

Another added: "I said goodbye in silence, hoping to return one day to my beautiful safe haven."

'Where would I go?'

Others in Iran's largest city feel the evacuation orders are simply impossible to follow.

Narges has decided to stay in Tehran, despite becoming increasingly afraid. "Ever since Trump urged people to leave last night, it seems like many more are fleeing."

She says the roads are "overflowing" and "the traffic is a nightmare". Narges sees no point in trying to leave and being trapped on the road.

Israel's strikes in Tehran on Iran's state broadcaster on Monday served as a reminder of the risk she is taking. She lives near the headquarters. "It was terrifying, and so close," she said.

Some residents have decided to stay put because of elderly parents, young children, pets, medical needs, or simply lack of options.

One woman told BBC Persian she was pregnant and had a young daughter: "Everything I've built is here… where would I go?"

Another said she was single and did not want to risk undertaking the 800km journey to her family in Shiraz alone.

And a woman who said she was 40 years old and had two small children told the BBC she was "not going anywhere".

"If everything is going to be ruined, then I'd rather my kids and I go with our home - because I don't have the strength to start over again."

Trump's evacuation comments in the early hours of Tuesday were reportedly followed by explosions and heavy air defence fire in Tehran. Iran launched two waves of missiles in response to the Israeli attacks, setting off air raid alerts in parts of central and northern Israel.

Boarding Air Force One after leaving the G7, Trump told reporters that he wasn't flying back to Washington just to broker a ceasefire – he wanted something "better than a ceasefire".

"A real end," he said, which might include "a complete give-up".

Israel launched a surprise attack on nuclear infrastructure, scientists and military commanders on Friday last week.

Israel's strikes on Tehran have killed at least 224 people, according to Iranian state media. Tehran's retaliatory missile strikes against Israeli cities have claimed at least 24 lives, Israeli officials say.

Civilians on both sides have been killed in the exchange of strikes, with both Iran and Israel accusing each other of targeting residential areas.

Thousands of Britons are stranded in Israel and unable to leave, as Iran and Israel continue to attack each other in an intensifying conflict that has been ongoing for days.

The Israeli airspace is closed until further notice and all flights have been grounded, with no sign of an imminent pause in hostilities.

Iran has launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel over the past few days in retaliation for Israeli strikes on its military infrastructure on Friday.

Speaking to the BBC, British nationals spoke of sleepless nights punctuated by the wail of sirens, constant trips back and forth to bomb shelters and the uncertainty of not knowing when they will be able to get home.

Many of those stranded are pressing for the UK government to do more to help them, but the BBC understands that, at this stage, there are no plans for an evacuation.

The UK government has advised against all travel to Israel and told British citizens in the country to follow local guidance.

Deborah Claydon, 41, a teacher from Hertfordshire, flew to Israel last Wednesday for what was supposed to be a three-day trip to attend her cousin's wedding.

She now finds herself trapped in Herzliya on Israel's central coast with her 81-year-old mother, as missiles fly overhead.

Three hours after they returned from the wedding last Thursday evening, "we heard sirens and had to go to the bomb shelter," she told the BBC.

"It was a trip of two halves: from elation to fear."

Every night since, Ms Claydon says she has been woken multiple times by alarms warning of incoming missiles and a count-down to get to a shelter. They are lucky, she says, as their hotel has a well-equipped shelter but "it's scary and a lot of people are panicky".

"I'm staying positive because my mum's here with me," the mother-of-three says. "But it's horrible. I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to be woken up three times a night thinking I might be hit by a missile. I want to get home to my job and my kids."

At least 24 people have been killed in Israel since Friday, according to the Israeli prime minister's office. Iran's health ministry said that as of Sunday, Israeli strikes had killed more than 200 people across the country.

As hostilities entered the fifth day on Tuesday, both countries vowed further retaliation.

Tel Aviv's main international airport was shuttered on Friday and will not open until further notice, authorities have said. All flights to and from Israel have been suspended and thousands cancelled.

Around 40,000 tourists are stuck in the country, Israel's Ministry of Tourism has said. Among them are those who travelled to Tel Aviv for its annual Pride parade, which had been due to take place on Friday but was cancelled after hostilities broke out.

Some people are considering leaving Israel via land crossings to neighbouring Jordan or Egypt and getting flights from there.

On Tuesday, Ms Claydon, along with a group of tourists from other countries, began a long journey by car to the border with Egypt where she plans to travel to Sharm El-Sheik and fly home.

She said it is "too risky" to bring her mother, who will stay with her brother in a neighbouring town.

Speaking to the BBC ahead of the journey, Ms Claydon said she was "terrified".

"It's a very unstable, uncertain situation, not knowing am I safer to go or am I safer to stay? Neither is safe. You don't know when the airport's going to open. Could be days, could be weeks."

For some Britons, travelling by land is an impossibility.

Hannah Lyons-Singer, 43, arrived in Jaffa last Tuesday to care for her father, after he was hospitalised while on holiday in Israel with her mother. A few hours after he was discharged following a heart procedure, "war broke out," she says.

The mother-of-three, from London, said the situation was a strain on her elderly parents, particularly when her father, who is in his eighties, should be recuperating.

"We hear the explosions outside," she told the BBC. "Some of them sound really close. There's been direct hits within a couple of kilometres of us both over the past two nights."

She added that it is "stifling hot" in the shelter.

Ms Lyons-Singer is desperate to get home to her children and her father requires further treatment in the UK, but making the hours-long journey to the border isn't feasible in his current condition.

She has called on the UK Government to better support British citizens to return home.

"There's no guidance other than a warning not to travel to Israel," she says.

"They could be offering secure travel to Egypt or reassuring us that once the airspace opens, they will provide evacuation routes, but they haven't offered us any help at all.

"My fear is that even once the airspace opens, commercial flights may not immediately start again."

Howard Youngerwood, 79, from London, travelled to Israel earlier this month for his granddaughter's Bar Mitzvah. The Jewish coming-of-age ceremony was cut short when hostilities erupted and they were ordered to evacuate the kibbutz near Jerusalem.

"We are exhausted," he said. "We spend a lot of time - hobbling in my case - getting to the shelters. It is taking a toll, especially when you hear of the casualties."

The retired judge, who has several ailments, including mobility issues, is unable to attempt a land crossing and doesn't consider it a safe option.

Angus Edy, 52, who is stuck in Tel Aviv with his 22-year-old son, Samuel, said the situation was "horrendous" and the "lack of care" shown by the UK government towards stranded Brits "shocking".

Since their flight was cancelled on Friday, they have been in and out of shelters. On Monday, after they felt the reverberation of a massive explosion from their shelter at the Gymnasia Isrotel, opposite the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, the hotel announced that it was closing and said they should seek a shelter further underground.

"It seems like the situation is getting more and more and more difficult," he said.

Mr Edy added that they had been phoning the British Consulate every day who had advised them to register for email alerts.

"We even went to the Embassy in person [on Monday] and they wouldn't even speak to us. It's just shocking the lack of care."

The Foreign Office (FCDO) has advised against all travel to Israel due to a "fast-moving situation that poses significant risks" which has "the potential to deteriorate further, quickly and without warning".

Official advice also advises against all travel to Iran.

Tourists from other nations are also stranded. The BBC spoke to the Joyner family, from the US, on Sunday, who were among those wrangling with when and how to attempt to leave.

Poland has said it will begin evacuating around 200 of its citizens in the coming days.

On Monday, deputy foreign minister Henryka Moscicka-Dendys said those "stuck as tourists" would leave via Jordan's capital Amman and then fly to Warsaw.

Meanwhile, the German foreign ministry has called on nationals in both Iran and Israel to enter their contact details in an online emergency system. About 4,000 have done so in Israel and about 1,000 in Iran. A spokesperson said there were no current evacuation plans from either country.

But other nations have evacuated its citizens - on Tuesday morning, a Czech government plane landed in Prague carrying 66 people from Israel, the defence minister confirmed.

Some 100,000 Israelis are estimated to be abroad and unable to return to Israel. Authorities have advised Israelis not to attempt land crossings due to security risks and await safer travel options.

Yellow heat health alerts have been issued for most of England, which means the weather poses a greater risk to vulnerable people.

The alerts cover Yorkshire and The Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East England, the South East, the South West and London and will be in place from 12:00 BST on Wednesday 18 June until 18:00 on Sunday 22 June.

How does the weather health alert system work?

The weather alert service warns the public in England when high or low temperatures could damage their health.

The system is run by the UK Health Security Agency and the Met Office.

It includes both heat health and cold health alerts

Heat health alerts are issued between 1 June and 30 September, and cold health alerts are published between 1 November and 30 March.

As well as warning the public, the system sends guidance directly to NHS England, the government and healthcare professionals during periods of adverse weather.

Alerts are categorised according to severity and include:

• headline weather conditions expected in the coming days
• details of how weather conditions will affect each region
• links to additional information, advice and guidance

The system was designed to help reduce illness and deaths during periods of extreme weather.

• See current weather-health alerts
• Check the UK weather warnings in place
• When is a heatwave 'really' a heatwave?

What do the alert levels mean?

The level of alert is based on Met Office forecasts and data.

There are four levels ranging from green (least severe) to red (most severe):

Green

Green is the normal level, when advice is given on how people should prepare to respond if temperatures rise or fall.

Yellow

Yellow alerts are issued during periods of hot or cold weather that are only likely to affect those who are particularly vulnerable, for example the elderly, or those with existing health conditions.

Amber

Amber alerts are issued in situations that could potentially put the whole population at risk. The NHS may see increased demand on GPs and ambulances, for example.

Travel disruption is also likely.

Red

A red alert is the most severe.

It is issued in situations when hot or cold weather would be a significant risk to life, even for the healthy population, and could lead to failures of critical national infrastructure, such as power outages or roads and rail lines being closed.

What does hot weather do to the body?

As the body gets hotter, blood vessels open up. This leads to lower blood pressure, and makes the heart work harder to push the blood around the body.

This can cause mild symptoms such as an itchy heat rash or swollen feet, as blood vessels become leaky.

At the same time, sweating leads to the loss of fluids and salt and, crucially, the balance between them in the body changes.

This, combined with the lowered blood pressure, can lead to heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Symptoms include:

• dizziness
• nausea
• fainting
• confusion
• muscle cramps
• headaches
• heavy sweating
• tiredness

If blood pressure drops too far, the risk of heart attacks rises.

Israeli forces have killed more than 51 Palestinians and wounded many more after opening fire near an aid distribution site in southern Gaza, witnesses and rescuers say.

The Hamas-run civil defence agency said Israeli troops fired on crowds near the aid site in Khan Younis. More than 200 people were reportedly injured.

The Israeli military has told the BBC it is looking into the reports.

It is the latest, and potentially the deadliest, of the almost daily shootings that have been taking place recently near aid distribution sites in Gaza.

Witnesses say that Israeli forces opened fire and shelled an area near a junction to the east of Khan Younis, where thousands of Palestinians had been gathering in the hope of getting flour from a World Food Programme (WFP) site, which also includes a community kitchen nearby.

A local journalist and eyewitnesses said Israeli drones fired two missiles, followed shortly after by a shell from an Israeli tank positioned between 400 and 500m away from the crowd. The explosions caused many casualties.

The crowd had assembled near a key road leading to the town of Bani Suheila, an area that has seen weeks of ongoing Israeli military operations.

Nasser Hospital, the main functioning medical facility in the area, has been overwhelmed by the number of casualties. It is so overcrowded that the many wounded are lying on the floor as medical staff treat their injuries.

In a statement the IDF said "a gathering was identified adjacent to an aid distribution truck that got stuck in the area of Khan Younis, and in proximity to IDF troops operating in the area."

It said it was "aware of reports regarding a number of injured individuals from IDF fire following the crowd's approach" and the incident was under review.

On Monday, the UN human rights chief Volker Turk said Israel was weaponising food and called for an investigation into the shootings near aid sites.

Addressing the UN Human Rights Council on Monday, he said: "Israel's means and methods of warfare are inflicting horrifying, unconscionable suffering on Palestinians in Gaza."

At least 14 people have been killed overnight and dozens more wounded in Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, officials say.

It was one of the largest bombardments of the capital since the beginning of the full-scale invasion more than three years ago.

Ukraine's interior minister, Ihor Klymenko, said a total of 440 drones and 32 missiles had been launched at the country.

Meanwhile, Russian air defence units intercepted and destroyed 147 Ukrainian drones overnight, Moscow's defence ministry said.

The strikes on Kyiv lasted more than nine hours – sending residents fleeing to underground shelters from before midnight until after sunrise.

Officials said a ballistic missile hit a nine-storey apartment building in one district, with a total of 27 districts of the city coming under fire.

"Waking up in utter nightmare: people trapped under rubble and full buildings collapsed," Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko wrote on X.

Klymenko said rescue teams were still working to free people.

Loud explosions rocked the city, along with the rattle of the machine guns used by mobile Ukrainian air defence units to shoot down drones.

More sirens later in the morning disrupted rescue operations in the city, hampering emergency workers searching the rubble for survivors.

Russia has intensified its air attacks against Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, with a tactic of sending large waves of drones and decoys designed to overwhelm Ukrainian air defences.

Kyiv has launched attacks of its own, as direct talks between the warring sides failed to secure a ceasefire or significant breakthrough.

President Volodymyr Zelensky called Russia's most recent wave of strikes "pure terrorism".

He accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of carrying out the large scale strikes "solely because he can afford to continue this war".

"It is bad when the powerful of this world turn a blind eye to this," he said, adding: "It is the terrorists who should feel the pain, not normal, peaceful people."

Drone strikes also hit the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa, killing one person and injuring at least 10 others, Klymenko said.

Zelenksy had been hoping to speak with the US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada on Tuesday but Trump cut short his stay amid the escalating crisis in the Middle East.

The news will come as a blow to Zelensky and his administration, which had been hoping to secure US support at the conference for Ukraine's strategic and military goals.

Every time Aryan Asari heard the sound of an airplane, he would go darting out of the house to look for it.

Spotting planes was something of a hobby for him, his father Maganbhai Asari said. Aryan loved the roaring sound of the engine fill the air and then grow louder as the plane cruised above him, leaving behind chalky threads of contrail in the sky,

But now, the very thought of it makes him sick.

Last Thursday, the 17-year-old had been on the terrace of Mr Asari's house in Ahmedabad city, making videos of airplanes, when an Air India Dreamliner 787-8 crashed right before his eyes and burst into flames, killing 241 on board. Nearly 30 people were also killed on the ground.

The moment was captured by Aryan on his phone.

"I saw the plane. It was going down and down. Then it wobbled and crashed right before my eyes," he told BBC Gujarati in an interview earlier this week.

The video, now a crucial clue for investigators trying to find the cause of the crash, has sent ripples through the news media and put Aryan - a high school student - at the centre of one of the worst aviation disasters in the country's history.

"We have been swamped by interview requests. Reporters have been milling around my house day and night asking to speak to him," Mr Asari told the BBC.

The incident - and what has followed since - has had a "devastating impact" on Aryan, who is traumatised by what he saw. "My son is so scared that he has stopped using his phone," Mr Asari said.

A retired army soldier, who now works with the city's metro service, Mr Asari has been staying for three years in a neighbourhood close to the airport. He recently moved to a small room located on the terrace of a three-storey building, with a clear view of the city skyline.

His wife and two children - Aryan and his elder sister - live in their ancestral village near the border between Gujarat and Rajasthan states.

"This was Aryan's first time in Ahmedabad. Actually, it was the first time in his life that he left the village," Mr Asari said.

"Whenever I'd call, Aryan would ask if I could spot airplanes from our terrace and I would tell him you could see hundreds of them streaking the sky."

Aryan, he explained, was an aeroplane enthusiast and liked looking at them as they flew in the sky over his village. The idea that he could see them much more closely from the terrace of his father's new home was very appealing to him.

An opportunity presented itself last week when Mr Asari's daughter, who wants to become a police officer, travelled to Ahmedabad to write the entrance examination.

Aryan decided to accompany her. "He told me he wanted to buy new notebooks and clothes," Mr Asari said.

The siblings arrived at their father's house around noon on Thursday, roughly an hour-and-a-half before the crash.

The family ate lunch together, after which Mr Asari left for work, leaving the children at home.

Aryan stepped out on the terrace and started making videos of the house to show to his friends. That's when he spotted the Air India plane and began filming it, he told BBC Gujarati.

Aryan soon realised that something was not quite right about the aircraft: "It was shaking, moving left and right," he said.

As the plane went on a downward spiral, he kept filming it, unable to grasp what was about to happen.

But when thick smoke filled the air and fire spewed out of the buildings, he finally realised what he had just witnessed.

He sent the video to his father and called him up.

"He sounded so frightened - 'I saw it papa, I saw it crash,' he said to me and kept asking me what would happen to him. I told him to sit tight and not to worry," Mr Asari said. "But he was beside himself in horror."

Mr Asari also asked his son to not share the video further. However, too scared and shocked, Aryan sent it to a few of his friends. "The next thing we knew, the clip was everywhere."

The next few days were a nightmare for the family.

Neighbours, reporters and camera persons flooded Mr Asari's small house day and night, requesting to speak to Aryan. "We could do nothing to stop them," he said.

The family also received a visit from the police, who took Aryan to the station and recorded his statement.

Mr Asari clarified, that contrary to reports, Aryan was not detained, but that police questioned him for a few hours about what he saw.

"My son was so disturbed by then that we decided to send him back to the village."

Back at home, Aryan has resumed school but is "still not feeling like himself. His mother tells me that every time his phone rings, he gets scared", Mr Asari said.

"I know he will be fine with time. But I don't think my son will try looking for airplanes in the sky again," he added.

Donald Trump's family business is launching a new Trump-branded phone service, in its latest plan to cash in on the US president's name.

The Trump Organization, which is run by his sons, said it planned to sell a gold-coloured, made-in-America smart phone for $499, along with mobile phone service for a monthly fee of $47.45 - a reference to their father serving as the country's 47th and 45th president.

The announcement was light on details, including the name of the business partner that will run the service and is licensing the name.

Ethics watchdogs said the latest venture represented another means for potential corruption and conflicts of interest.

"It's unbelievable that the Trump family has created yet another way for President Trump to personally profit while in office," said Meghan Faulkner, communications director for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).

Trump has said he has put his business interests in a trust, which is managed by his children. The White House has maintained he acts on the interests of all Americans.

But Ms Faulkner said the latest venture raised familiar issues, including whether the new business will win customers from people hoping to influence Trump and how the president will craft policies and regulation for an industry in which his family now has a stake.

The Trump Organization did not respond to questions about its business partner and criticisms about potential ethics issues.

In announcing its plans, it said "hard-working Americans deserve a wireless service that's affordable, reflects their values, and delivers reliable quality they can count on".

It pitched a policy of "discounted" international calls to families with members serving outside the US in the military.

The announcement said the mobile service would have customer support staff based in the US to answer questions, as well as the gold-coloured phone, which is currently available for pre-order.

Trump's net worth has more than doubled

The deal is an extension of a business strategy that Trump embraced long before his presidency, striking deals to sell his name to hoteliers and golf course operators in exchange for fees and royalties.

But the opportunities to profit from his brand have expanded since he entered politics a decade ago.

On his most recent financial disclosure, Trump reported making more than $600m last year, including millions from of items such as Trump-branded bibles, watches sneakers and fragrances.

Forbes in March estimated his net worth was $5.1bn, more than double than a year earlier.

It said the surge was due in part to the president's "diehard following", which is credited with helping to prop up the value of Trump's social media company that runs the Truth Social platform, which accounted for roughly half his wealth last year.

The mobile phone market in the US is currently dominated by three major players: AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, which all offer phone service starting at less than $40 a month.

There are also a growing number of smaller firms paying to use those networks to target niche groups of potential customers, by offering lower prices or tailored plans.

The largest of those companies, which are known as mobile virtual network providers, have less than 10 million subscribers, according to a 2024 report by the Federal Communications Commission.

Mint Mobile, which was backed by Ryan Reynolds, was sold to T-Mobile for $1.35bn in 2023. At the time, one analyst estimated the service had roughly two million to three million subscribers.

The actor had a 25% stake in the business, giving him a potential pay out of about $300m.

Doctors treating Colombian presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe Turbay have warned that he is in an "extremely critical condition" after being shot in the head 10 days ago.

Uribe underwent emergency surgery on Monday to stem a bleed to the brain, according to a hospital statement.

His wife said that the hours after the operation would be critical and asked Colombians to pray for his recovery.

The June 7 attack on Uribe has shocked Colombians, who turned out in their tens of thousands to attend silent protests held across the country on Sunday.

"Miguel continues to fight for his life like never before," his wife, María Claudia Tarazona, said outside Santa Fe hospital, where he is being treated.

"We need all the prayers and words of love. It's love is keeping him alive."

The 39-year-old conservative senator, who was seeking his party's nomination for the 2026 presidential election, was shot three times at an event in the capital Bogota.

A teenage suspect was arrested as he was fleeing the scene. The 15-year-old has been charged with attempted murder and pleaded not guilty.

A man accused of providing the shooter with the gun has also been detained as well as a woman suspected of providing "logistical support" for the attack.

However, police are still trying to determine the possible motive for the attack and who may have ordered it.

The brazen attack on the politician - in broad daylight as he was giving a speech in a middle-class neighbourhood in Bogota - has brought back memories of the turbulent decades of the 1980s and 90s in Colombia, when several presidential candidates and influential Colombian figures were assassinated.

Uribe's own mother, journalist Diana Turbay, was kidnapped by Los Extraditables in 1990 - an alliance created by leading drug lords.

She was held hostage by them for five months before being shot dead during a botched rescue attempt.

Uribe often cited her as his inspiration to run for political office "to work for our country".

Los Extraditables, who have said they would prefer a grave in Colombia to a prison cell in the US, abducted and attacked renowned Colombians in an attempt to force the government at the time to overturn its extradition treaty with the US.

Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has signed into law an amendment that will allow, once again, civilians to be tried in a military court under certain circumstances.

A previous law permitting such trials was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in January.

Before that ruling, civilians could be taken to a military tribunal if they had been found with military equipment like guns or army uniforms. Activists had complained that the law was used to persecute government critics.

Parliamentarians passed the amendment last month amid a heavy police presence and a boycott by opposition lawmakers, who argued that it violated the ruling by the country's highest court.

In January, the judges said that the military courts were neither impartial nor competent to exercise judicial functions, the International Society for Human Rights reported at the time.

The amendment appears to try and address some of the issues.

It says that those presiding over the tribunals should have relevant legal qualifications and training. It also says that while performing their legal functions they should be independent and impartial.

But civilians can still be transferred if found with military hardware.

"The law will deal decisively with armed violent criminals, deter the formation of militant political groups that seek to subvert democratic processes, and ensure national security is bound on a firm foundational base. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!," army spokesperson Col Chris Magezi wrote on X after the bill was passed by MPs.

But opposition leader Bobi Wine said the law would be used against him and others.

"All of us in the opposition are being targeted by the act," he told the AFP news agency.

The Uganda Law Society, a professional body that represents the country's lawyers, has said it will "challenge the constitutionality" of the amendment.

For years, activists had argued that the military courts were being used by the government to silence dissidents, with people alleging that evidence had been planted.

"If you are a political opponent then they will find a way of getting you under the military court and then you know your fate is sealed... once there, justice will never visit your door," human rights lawyer Gawaya Tegulle told the BBC's Focus on Africa podcast in February.

He added that people can spend years in detention on remand as the courts await decisions from senior military figures, which may never come, and those who are tried and found guilty face harsher penalties than in civilian courts.

A recent high-profile case followed November's arrest of long-time leading opposition figure Kizza Besigye. He was picked up in neighbouring Kenya, taken across the border and then charged in a military court with possession of pistols and attempting to purchase weapons abroad, which he denied.

Those charges were dropped, and replaced with others, when his case was transferred to a civilian court following the Supreme Court ruling.

Museveni, who has been in power since 1986, described the verdict as the "wrong decision", adding that "the country is not governed by the judges. It is governed by the people."

He had previously defended the use of military courts saying that they dealt with the "rampant activities of criminals and terrorists that were using guns to kill people indiscriminately".

He said that civilian courts were too busy to "handle these gun-wielding criminals quickly".
