shuts at the end of august. chelsea have agreed a fee forjoao felix to move from atletico madrid, with conor gallagher moving in the other direction as part of the deal. the england midfielder almost completed his move last week but had to wait for atletico to sell a player to raise the funds to buy him. felix will return to stamford bridge on a six—year deal after a loan spell in 2023. for all the very latest sport stories, head to the bbc sport website and app. but for now that's it from the bbc sport centre. back to you. the bbc has uncovered testimony from what may be one of the worst incidents of mass killings in myanmar�*s civil war. on august 5th, eyewitnesses say hundreds of civilians from the rohingya muslim community were bombed as they tried to flee. it's the latest deadly violence against them. in 2017, hundreds were killed in what was described by the un as ethnic cleansing

by the country's military. in recent months, scores of rohingya muslims have been killed and thousands have fled to bangladesh, but now they say they're also being attacked by the other side, those fighting the military, the rebel group arakan army. our correspondent yogita limaye reports from the border at teknaf in bangladesh. her report contains distressing images, including of people who died as a result of the attack. across the river naf, rakhine state in myanmar. hidden from the world, deadly violence is unfolding there against rohingya muslims. chilling accounts trickling in from those who've managed to escape to bangladesh. until two weeks ago, this man was a wealthy trader with a family in myanmar. now, he's alone, hiding in a hut. if caught, he could be sent back

by bangladeshi authorities. he and his family were part of these crowds, fleeing their homes on the 5th of august. in videos verified by the bbc, women, children, the elderly — seen rushing to the banks of the river to save themselves. the trader says it was by the shore in an open space where arakan army, an ethnic insurgent group, dropped bombs on unarmed rohingyas using drones. translation: we heard a loud sound and an explosion. - we were thrown on the ground. i, my wife, my mother, my daughter, son and sister were there when the bomb struck. all of them died.

i don't know why i survived. my daughter died in my arms. he showed us a video he found online of the aftermath of the bombing. he sobs. "all of the people here have died", a man cries. distressing to watch, but it's crucial evidence of what appears to be a massacre. the ground covered with bodies — many of them children. the trader told us this is his wife... ..fatally injured but alive. he wasn't able to carry her out. she died later. translation: my heart is broken. i'll never go back to myanmar. i saw more than 200 bodies. arakan army doesn't want

to leave any muslim alive. those who've escaped are hiding in these camps in bangladesh. built back in 2017, when a million rohingyas fled brutal violence carried out by myanmar�*s military. now, the junta's troops are being pushed out of the rakhine by arakan army. but, for the rohingyas, that has not brought hope of a return to their land. instead, it's renewed fears. in the past week alone, thousands have paid boatmen and armed traffickers to take them to safety. this video, filmed by a rohingya man. not a long journey, but it's fraught with risks. more than a dozen have drowned. these crudely marked shallow graves are where some of the bodies that washed

ashore are buried. she sobs. among them were five of this woman's children. rosmah, aziz, faisal rozia and bilkis rani. "my children were like pieces of my heart. after my husband died, i raised them with so much difficulty. when i think of them, i feel like i want to die. i miss them so much", she told us. this is her grandson. both his parents and his younger brother have died. "the arakan army attacked us with drones. "we heard nine bombs fall while we were hiding", the woman told us. "later, we had to run across bodies on our way to the river."

in the alleys of these camps, we've heard from more than a dozen survivors — all of whom have said they were deliberately attacked by the arakan army. in response to the bbc, the group has said that the attack happened in an area which is not under their control, and they have no connection to it. the arakan army has been making rapid advances in the rakhine state. it's projected itself as a resistance group that's fighting on behalf of the people against the militaryjunta. but from what we've heard here now, it faces credible accusations of the mass killings of civilians. there are calls for it to be investigated for war crimes. this family was also caught in the drone attacks, their baby boy killed. in a corner, their daughter, running a high fever after two days spent on a boat without food or water before they could slip into bangladesh. the man told us, "rohingyas are being forcibly conscripted

"and persecuted by both sides." translation: we are beingj targeted by the arakan army and the myanmar military. they are killing us almost every day. we are helpless. these are the only images they have their baby — one of scores of rohingyas killed indiscriminately. the dead uncounted, their stories undocumented. yogita limaye, bbc news, teknaf. earlier, our colleagues at newsday spoke to the foreign minister of myanmar�*s exiled national unity government, zin maraung. she expressed deep concerns about the issues highlighted by yogita's report and said these concerns would be heeded by the arakan army, but also outlined the issues they face on the ground.

our revolutionary forces entirely control 75 townships out of the 335 townships, and then another category is that 105 townships, a kind of the revolutionary forces contain the other forces. revolutionary forces contain the otherforces. but revolutionary forces contain the other forces. but 7a townships are contested area, and this is one of the contests still that they are still fighting against each other, our revolutionary forces and the others. i am very sad to hear about how much software of the our first night population, but at the same times, for us, it is very, very difficult to identify the reported

information. so, i encourage especially our revolutionary alliance to work with our international community and to, you know, to allow the media and to practice the humanitarian low and the —— the humanitarian law and of course the transparency. fix, bit the -- the humanitarian law and of course the transparency. a bit more on the breaking _ course the transparency. a bit more on the breaking news _ course the transparency. a bit more on the breaking news we _ course the transparency. a bit more on the breaking news we were - course the transparency. a bit more | on the breaking news we were giving you a few minutes ago about m—pox. the democratic republic of congo and other african countries will start vaccinating against m—pox in the next few days if everything is in place. last week the world health organization declared mpox a global public health emergency for the second time in two years over concerns about a new variant. let's speak to our africa correspondent simi jolaoso, who's in lagos, nigeria. hello to you. we have heard concerns, haven't we, overthe hello to you. we have heard concerns, haven't we, over the last couple of weeks, about the availability of vaccinations? how many doses are we talking about here? any idea or numbers at this

in the drc, the health minister there said they will prioritise children, that specifically it seems the infection rate is higher among children under the age of 15. meanwhile, here in nigeria, they have said health care workers, especially in areas most affected, will be getting the vaccine first. the africa cdc also spoke about the importance of local manufacturing and said they have partnered with the danish manufacturer bavaria nordic to transfer its technology to local manufacturers in order to get vaccine production going here on the continent, because that would not only make sure that there is an adequate supply for all countries that need it, but also reduce the cost of the vaccine. find that need it, but also reduce the cost of the vaccine.— that need it, but also reduce the cost of the vaccine. and what is the latest ou cost of the vaccine. and what is the latest you are _ cost of the vaccine. and what is the latest you are hearing _ cost of the vaccine. and what is the latest you are hearing on _ cost of the vaccine. and what is the latest you are hearing on the - cost of the vaccine. and what is the i latest you are hearing on the number of cases? ~ ,., ., ., ., of cases? well, so far, more than 18,900 of cases? well, so far, more than 18.900 cases — of cases? well, so far, more than 18,900 cases have _ of cases? well, so far, more than 18,900 cases have been - of cases? well, so far, more than | 18,900 cases have been reported, of cases? well, so far, more than - 18,900 cases have been reported, and

test was carried out on first night, the country's most inhabited northern —— northerly island. what should have been the final test on a rocket bound for space built. —— for space. but then this. a plume of smoke and lodge flames shooting out sideways. then loud bangs as the entire structure was engulfed by fire. u nst unst is britain's most northerly inhabited island. its remoteness is part of the attraction. the spaceport said all safety protocols were observed and the site evacuated prior to yesterday's test. no staff were at risk. rocket testing and

launches can be full with difficulty. the first ever satellite mission launched from the uk ended when a virgin orbitjumbojet mission launched from the uk ended when a virgin orbitjumbo jet flying out of cornwall lost the rocket it released horizontally after it suffered an anomaly. last year, the spacex starship spacecraft exploded minutes after liftoff. elon musk congratulated his team won what he called an exciting launch, and said they had learned a lot. these pictures are from earlier ground—based test that the german rocket company carried out successfully here in shetland. the test involved firing fewer engines at any one time. the test yesterday was meant to be the final one and the biggest. in a statement, the rocket company said they were aware of the higher risk attached to their approach, and that they will take their time to analyse and assess the situation, adding that the goal would be to return to regular

operations as soon as possible. sending vertical rockets into space is hard. that is why these tests are carried out. the one here yesterday demonstrating both why these tests are important, and how challenging building rockets can be. that report from lorna gordon, our scotland correspondent. in the next hour, more on the gaza ceasefire discussions. we will also keep an eye on what is happening in the search for those six people still missing after a luxury yacht capsized off the coast of sicily. and we will be back in chicago to hear what is coming up at the democratic national convention today. so do stay with us, here on bbc news.

good afternoon. some very wet weather in the forecast, particularly for northern and western areas of the uk as we head through the rest of the week. also windy, but even further south and east there will still be showers around at times. today is a day of sunny spells in blustery showers. the strongest gusts of wind in northern ireland and western scotland, gusts up to 40—50 mph. this is where the bulk of the showers will be for the rest of the day. some of the showers will be heavy and thundery, merging at times to form longer spells of rain. a largely dry story for the rest of the day further south. a few more isolated showers out towards the west, but in the best of the sunshine across parts of south—east england, 23 or 24 celsius. a fresher feel to things behind the front earlier this morning. cooler tonight, showers towards the north and west, cloudier here by the end of the night. the winds are lightening a little and some of the temperatures could

drop back to high single figures. cooler and less muggy than it was last night. tomorrow, more rain to come. the rain feeds across northern ireland and into western scotland, down through north—west england. strong gusts of wind coupled with high spring tides could cause coastal overtopping in some areas. there could be showers out towards the west, then it is largely dry again, with a ridge of high pressure. temperatures in the mid to high teens in the north and west, low 20s further south. more weather fronts coming our way, this one containing the remnants of hurricane ernesto. there will be humid—feeling air lasting longer towards the south and east. strong, gusty winds wherever you are across the uk, perhaps gusting as high as 40—50 mph across england and wales, with more rain to follow. fresh—feeling air digging in behind that cold front, humid air lasting longer

is the further east you are. more rain in the forecast on friday, and also windy weather. a tight squeeze on the isobars here. it will probably dry out with sunshine for most by the end of the day. further outbreaks of rain towards the south on saturday morning. goodbye.
