barbara plett usher is in kenya with more. it has, of course, been a terrifying event for all the children involved, and the international committee of the red cross tells us they plan to set up a trauma centre at this hospital to offer psychological counselling to those who have been very shaken by the fire, which broke out around 11:00 at night in a boys' dormitory. 156 boys were in there sleeping and as the flames engulfed the area, some of them crawled underneath the beds trying to escape the fire. the firefighters came to put it out, but they were delayed because of muddy roads, and in the meantime, neighbours rushed to the school and eventually they all did manage to put the fire out and rescue many of the boys. but sadly, as we know, many of them died and a number were severely burned. police said that bodies were burnt beyond recognition of those who passed away, and now families, some of them are still looking to see where their children are. they would have to identify remains, they would have to trace the children to whatever hospitals they were taken. so that is something very much occupying them right now.

it has to be said that fires at kenyan boarding schools are actually rather common, sometimes set by the students themselves, maybe because they're protesting against the workload or because they're protesting against living conditions. we don't know that that was what the cause of this fire was. we're still waiting to hear what the reason for the fire was. so there is an investigation ongoing. and the president has said that those who are responsible must be held to account. but in the meantime, the family members do have a very heart wrenching task to do in terms of identifying remains of those who were who were killed. we know with this instant, there has already been quite a lot of misinformation. bbc verify have been sorting old images from new when it comes to the fire last night. richard irvine—brown has more. if you've been on the bbc news website today, you will have seen this live

page on the overnight fire at the primary school in nyeri, kenya, in which 17 pupils have died. now, there are several press photographers on the scene and they have been showing what it looks like in the aftermath in daylight. the fire itself happened in the middle of the night in a countryside school which is 25km away from nyeri, a town settled among two national parks north of nairobi. so, without pictures of what happened, this has led to some people sharing old images from otherfires as if it's the same incident, such as this one from 2016. now, this has been shared on twitter and facebook today, including byjournalists. we've searched for previous versions of it and found it does date all the way back to 2016. it's actually from afar at saint patrick's school in iten, which is about 200km away. we've seen this picture used a number of times over the years. here it is in 2016. here it is in 2021. now, we've also seen examples in 2022 and 2023. it appears people are sharing the image to try to illustrate a school fire, rather than actively trying to spread disinformation.

however, there's another image of several burned bodies in a charred room. we won't share it given how graphic the photo is, but we've seen it shared as if it's from the fire overnight. again, we've done what we're calling reverse searching, and we found the same picture shared in 2008, here in naivasha and again as recently as yesterday from another story of unrestjust north of nairobi in a place called kiambu. the important thing is, if you're seeing material shared online from the fire, it very likely has nothing to do with this incident. and of course, bbc verify continues to monitor in case any footage does materialise online. the father of a 14—year—old boy charged with shooting four people dead at a high school in georgia has been charged with manslaughter and second—degree murder, after authorities said he "knowlingly allowed his son to possess a weapon". 14—year—old colt gray is accused of killing two fellow pupils and two teachers — and injuring nine others.

his father, colin gray, becomes the latest american parent, to face criminal charges, after their child was involved in a mass shooting. murder in the second degree. the maximum penalty for each count is up to 30 years imprisonment. for felony involuntary manslaughter, of course, again, there are four counts. the maximum penalty for each of those offences is ten years imprisonment. for the eight felony cruelty to children counts, the maximum penalty under the law for each of those eight counts is ten years of imprisonment, for a maximum total of possible penalty for the charges that you currently are facing

of 180 years imprisonment. those were the comments in the 25 last minutes in court. in terms of the reaction, there has been, let me tell you that speaking at a rally in arizona, the republican nominee for vice presidentjd vance has been speaking about that school shooting. what is going to solve this problem, and i really do believe this is, look, i don't like this, i don't like to admit this, i don't like that this is a fact of life, but if you're if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realise that our schools are soft targets and we have got to bolster security at our schools so that a person who walks through the front door... applause. we've got to bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children, they're not able to. and again, as a parent, do i want my kid's school to have additional security? no, of course i don't. i don't want my kids to go

to school in a place where they feel like you've got to have additional security, but that is increasingly the reality that we live in. there is the latest comments from it vance. interesting ending talking about security but starting that clip you just heard and it has got a lot of traction online, a lot of criticism by saying that school shootings are now a fact of life. so that is the latest in terms of some of the reactions, some of the politics. we have also been speaking live to a representative from that group, much for our life, that charity set up by david hogg who was a survivor of the parklands shooting in 2018. we will talk to them in about an hour's time so do stay with us for more on that story. that court appearance has happened in the last little while. around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news.

the uk home secretary, yvette cooper, is chairing a meeting today to look at ways of tackling criminal gangs who smuggle people across the channel. 12 migrants died on tuesday, when their small boat came apart off the french coast. now, ministers, the national crime agency and the uk border force are discussing what more can be done to stop the crossings. our home editor mark easton reports. the government claims the deaths of 12 migrants in the channel, just off the french coast, earlier this week, is evidence of both the moral imperative in destroying the smuggling gangs, and also that measures to disrupt the criminal networks are having an impact. the home office says it suggests the business model of the smugglers is under pressure. more people are being crammed into less seaworthy vessels, with intelligence suggesting the gangs have increased their charges, including demanding payment for children. almost 22,000 migrants have arrived in britain after attempting to cross

the channel this year, more than 7,000 since the election. having scrapped the previous government's rwanda plan, the labour administration is under pressure to prove it has a plan to stop the boats. at a meeting of senior government ministers, intelligence agencies and law enforcement bodies in london today, the home office will say a0 small boats and engines were seized in an operation in bulgaria in recent weeks, that there are currently 70 live investigations, including operations targeting gangs in libya, romania and southeast asia. yes! get in there. meanwhile, plans to house asylum seekers, including small boat migrants at raf scampton, a former ministry of defence site in lincolnshire, have been scrapped. the home office says it would have cost £122 million over three years and no longer represents value for money. even the civil servants that came to visit the site

in february last year said that it was not suitable, so they already knew that. but, you know, with the investment, the history and the heritage that's here, you know, it... we couldn't just stand by and let that all get ruined. so we had to do something about it. however, critics say the government is not moving quickly enough to deal with the small boats crisis. after promising the rapid recruitment of a border security commander to oversee the response two months ago, downing street has now said the appointment will be confirmed in the next few weeks. today's meeting, styled as a landmark operational summit, is an opportunity to demonstrate some progress in the challenge of destroying the smuggling gangs. mark easton, bbc news. a british man has beenjailed for nine years of trying to burn down a hotel housing asylum seekers. thomas burley he was 27 has received the

longest sentence i fell for anyone involved in the unrest that swept across the country. a roll—out of the mpox vaccine is due to begin in the democratic republic of congo. the drc is currently at the centre of an outbreak of the disease and has recorded more than 19,000 cases with over 650 deaths since the beginning of the year. the first delivery of almost 100,000 doses of an mpox vaccine arrived on thursday. last month, the world health organization declared an international emergency in the country, after a surge in cases of a new, more dangerous strain of mpox. let's speak to country director of save the children for the democratic republic of congo, greg ramm, who is on the ground as part of the vaccine rollout. welcome here to the programme. tell me a bit more detail about what you hope to do over the coming days and weeks? thank

ou for coming days and weeks? thank you for covering _ coming days and weeks? thank you for covering this _ coming days and weeks? thank you for covering this important | you for covering this important topic. we are delighted that the first 100,000 doses of this much—needed vaccine have now arrived in congo and the ministry of health will be leading the effort to get these doses delivered and in peoples arms. the children are also very concerned about the many thousands of children at risk of infection, at risk of death so while these initial vaccines come out, what we are concerned about is restricting the spread because 100,000 doses will not go very far with millions of people displaced in congo with cases rising. what you are trying to do is prevent the controls even for those people we can't yet get the vaccine. tell me more about the need, the numbers of people we hope to get to and the amount of vaccines you currently have in play or hope to have in play, say by this time in a couple of weeks' time? say by this time in a couple of weers' time?— weeks' time? the ministry of health has — weeks' time? the ministry of health has demonstrated - weeks' time? the ministry of| health has demonstrated that weeks' time? the ministry of. health has demonstrated that at least 3 million doses are

needed urgently for health care workers, that the nurses, doctors and those who are the most honourable on our front line. even if everything goes to plan, there will only be a couple of hundred thousand doses there so in addition to the vaccine, which are a critical measure and many more are needed, we must also be taking other measures, get the key measures of how do you prevent the spread, how do you keep children safe, had we make sure that there is water and soap and other basic hygiene in place to make sure that children can say is safe and people understand how you get this disease and how you prevent it. this disease and how you prevent it— this disease and how you prevent it. this disease and how you revent it. �* ., ., , , prevent it. and how fast is it spreading? _ prevent it. and how fast is it spreading? and _ prevent it. and how fast is it spreading? and are - prevent it. and how fast is it spreading? and are the - prevent it. and how fast is it - spreading? and are the vaccines that you are getting livery of comedy they cover all of the strains? in comedy they cover all of the strains? , , ., . strains? in the first instance is, 19.000 — strains? in the first instance is, 19,000 cases _ strains? in the first instance is, 19,000 cases reported i strains? in the first instance | is, 19,000 cases reported so far. we think there are many others unreported, cases are

going up, 650 deaths, most of those are children. the new strains are accommodated and there are still medical research going on to try to better understand how effective the vaccines that are being delivered are against the emerging strains. i think it is still too early to tell. we know it will make a difference, we hope it makes a very big difference. i we hope it makes a very big difference.— we hope it makes a very big difference. i was reading that the danish — difference. i was reading that the danish vaccine _ difference. i was reading that the danish vaccine has - difference. i was reading that the danish vaccine has to - difference. i was reading that the danish vaccine has to be | the danish vaccine has to be stored at —20, so do you have this efficient storage facilities and also then the transportation facilities to keep the vaccine at those temperatures? 50 keep the vaccine at those temperatures?— keep the vaccine at those tem eratures? ~ , , temperatures? so the ministry of health and _ temperatures? so the ministry of health and their _ temperatures? so the ministry of health and their partners . of health and their partners do, there are other vaccines out here that have required that cold chain, it is a critical factor, that cold chain, it is a criticalfactor, getting this out the last mile where they are most needed is a challenge, thatis are most needed is a challenge, that is why the initial focus is health centres where there already is a cold chain and storage available, where the first focus and priority on the

community health workers and others in greatest need. keeping the vaccine safe and still effective is a critical challenge in the midst of a humanitarian crisis with 7 million people displaced, it is not easy to do this work here. it is a crisis and it is an urgent challenge so we are grateful that you have taken time to speak to us today as all of that starts. greg ram, thank you very much for being with us on bbc news. president zelensky has urged ukraine's military backers to authorise the use of long—range missiles to attack targets within russia. president zelensky said this was the only way to bring about an end to the war. the us has announced a new package of aid and the uk said it will provide ukraine with 650 new lightweight missiles in a package worth £162 million. let's hear little more of what president zelensky has been saying at the start of the day �*s conference. we

saying at the start of the day 's conference.— saying at the start of the day 's conference. we do want to end this _ 's conference. we do want to end this war. _ 's conference. we do want to end this war. we _ 's conference. we do want to end this war. we want - 's conference. we do want to | end this war. we want peace. 's conference. we do want to - end this war. we want peace. we want to save our people first of all, our country and it is putin who does not want peace and he is obsessed with territorial conquests. he wants our cities, orthe territorial conquests. he wants our cities, or the round that remains of them and that is why we need this force russia to seek peace. we need to make russia see this and even russian soldiers think about what they need, peace or putin? that was president zelensky earlier. let me show you the live pictures coming from us from ramstein in germany. you can see the podium, the microphones all set up. as soon as those comments start, we will carry them live on today's programme. to a wonderful story because the world's lowest rank

team have ended the longest winless run in football. san marino won a nations league match — beating liechtenstein 1—nil — 20 years since their only other victory — also against liechtenstein. the two countries have a combined population of around 70,000 people. in case you missed the result — here's the stadium announcer. san marino! let's speak to football correspondent at sport italia, tancredi palmeri, who was watching the match. you are smiling, it was fantastic listening to that. where you as excited as commentator there? no, i have

to say also. _ commentator there? no, i have to say also. me. _ commentator there? no, i have to say also, me, as— commentator there? no, i have to say also, me, as i _ commentator there? no, i have to say also, me, as i think- to say also, me, as i think some few thousands of football fans, we weren't watching the beginning of that match. there is a simulcast that is giving you the chance to watch or the uefa qualifying games that are going at the same time because tvs are switching from one game to another, showing you goals and reactions. ithink to another, showing you goals and reactions. i think in italy, and any other countries, there was another got it san marino that was the last game wired to put some attention on, along than night, it became the main game to watch because, san marino scored and they are one go marino scored and they are one 9° up, marino scored and they are one go up, and as the minutes were going by, everyone was thinking, really, it san marino

going to win? it is the very first competitive game that san marino is winning. so it really became then news of the night. i can tell you that also, the whatsapp chat with friends, or football fans, the news we were talking about wasn't the result of the night, it was, san marino is winning! i think it was a social media event. so everybody was speaking about it. it is incredible because he can remember, england beating san marino10—0 ad have so many other results like that and it is great for fans but also for those players because these players, for some of them it is their second job, their third job, isn't it? their second 'ob, their third job. m in— job, isn't it? indeed and actually. _ job, isn't it? indeed and actually, normally - job, isn't it? indeed and actually, normally a - job, isn't it? indeed and actually, normally a job| actually, normally a job somewhere that you are paying for and they're not always paid for and they're not always paid for playing football because they are from amateur

divisions, some are a lower divisions, some are a lower division like fourth or fifth but as you mention, third job or second job, and they work normaljobs like offices or industries, whatever it is. 800 people were there at the stadium, san marino, you have to think about, is not like a different entity in a country, like for example gibraltar in spain. san marino and italy are quite mixed, obviously the language are the same, habits are the same, so sometimes it feels like... but still, the people are going to watch it. you mention the main fans union is called never a joy because they never experience the joy!

that is so funny he sashayed out because i was to ask you, what was it like supporting san marino over the years —— so funny you should say that. i think the best resume of the story is what the chief of the fans has been saying after because he was asked about it and said, when we are winning, we didn't know what to say because we don't have a song about winning, all of our chance are about losing! it is treat to chance are about losing! it is great to speak _ chance are about losing! it is great to speak to _ chance are about losing! it is great to speak to you - chance are about losing! it is great to speak to you and you haven't stopped smiling over the course of our conversation. i was listening to you on the radio earlier, you have played on that page so you know what it is like. so that first competitive match with san marino winning and i think next up marino winning and i think next up to gibraltar�*s turns and maybe they will do a double. do stay with us because still to

come, we will have all the latest on our top stories. we will also be live in new york in the next little while because donald trump, his latest court appearance, he is appearing in one of those cases. that is in court, he has already arrived in the courthouse. stay with us. hello. it's another afternoon of huge weather contrasts. now, there will be quite large parts of the uk that have lots of sunshine to look forward to, and it will feel warm, particularly across northern and western areas of the uk, with temperatures running well above average 25 in manchester and 26 in liverpool. parts of east anglia could get up to a humid 27 c. however, if you're stuck in the south of england, it's a different story. a lot of cloud and we have had some heavy downpours here through the day today. still1 or 2 left over

into the afternoon, but i think more generally the rain will turn at least a little bit lighter for a time as you go through the afternoon. but the temperatures here nothing really to write home about away from that band of rain. yes, we've got that warm sunshine to look forward to, although there will be some areas of low cloud and mist that continue to linger and loiter across parts of eastern scotland and eastern england, just keeping the temperatures pegged back here. otherwise warm in the sunshine, 26 degrees there in liverpool. now, overnight tonight, our weatherfronts will finally give up the ghost across southern counties of england so it will become drierfor a time. we'll see a return of low clouds and mist and fog patches, particularly across eastern scotland, eastern england. and with that comes the threat of occasional spots of drizzle as well. it'll be quite a humid night, the weekend still dominated by this area of low pressure. the low, if anything, will bring the threat of some heavy showers further northwards. with time now for england and wales here, where we'll see the lion's share of the showers on saturday. quite a clump of showers look set to come in through

the morning, i think across parts of lincolnshire, yorkshire, maybe into northeast england too. so watch out for those further southwards. yes, you could see some thunderstorms break out, but i think it's across scotland and northern ireland that the weather should stay dry with the best of the sunshine and some of the higher temperatures as well. for sunday, showers, perhaps some longer spells of rain still with the same area of low pressure. again, the majority of the downpours will be focused across england and wales, leaving scotland and northern ireland drier but potentially turning a little bit cloudier. temperatures here high teens to low 20s. then into next week, a change in the jet stream pattern will bring us some colder air moving down from the north, and with that, an area of low pressure that could bring some quite persistent rain for a time across northern areas. otherwise, showers, with the weather turning a lot cooler and fresher for all of us.

welcome back to bbc news, turning to our main headlines here... a 26—year—old american woman has been shot dead in the occupied west bank, we will bring you more on those details as they come into us. ahead of as they come into us. ahead of a new early release scheme to ease prison overcrowding, the bbc gets special access to one of britain's most dangerous prisons. and desperate conditions in sudan as the un
