on the international space station. touchdown, starliner is back on earth. that landing coming at 1101 and 35 seconds central time. this is the moment the capsule landed in the new mexico desert. its had developed technical problems shortly after its original launch, including helium leaks, and nasa decided it would be safer for the two astronauts to return another way. astronauts butch wilmore and suni williams will return to earth next february in a spacex capsule, after spending eight months in orbit — they'd only expected to be there eight days. boeing has released this image of the starliner back on earth. nasa says both astronauts are in good spirits. they held a press conference shortly after the capsule�*s safe return and told us more about the mission.

i'm happy to report, starliner did really well today in the undock, the orbit and landing sequence. you know, we used the nasa docking system for the second time on the mission to undock from the space station. that system performed really well, it is a derivative system, what we'll use for orion down the road so it was good to pave the way for orion as well. ican take i can take you to the live shots, this is the view from the international space station looking down on earth from nasser. —— nasa. our science editor, rebecca morelle, told us more about the starliner�*s journey. they said it was a safe and successful landing for the spacecraft. there were a few technical issues on the way down. a couple of the thrusters didn't behave exactly as they expected, but, you know, not enough to knock it off course. and, you know, seeing it unfurl those three huge parachutes and get down onto the ground, you know, so gently is what you want to see. but, you know, it did go

to plan, apart from the major thing — there were no astronauts inside it. you know, that's the objective of this test flight with a crew, was to have a crew in it going up and coming back down. and obviously that didn't happen. which is embarrassing, particularly for boeing. yeah, i mean, it's not great for them, to be honest. and they had issues as well with two of their test flights that took place a few years earlier with no astronauts on board. they're one of two commercial crew carriers that the us has given contracts to. and the reason behind this, basically, they had a great period of time, nasa, where they had no method of getting their astronauts into space after they retired the space shuttle fleet, so they were having to rely on russian spacecraft to get their astronauts up there. so they decided not to do that any more, so they gave spacex a contract and boeing a contract too. now, spacex has gone ahead and done lots of launches, taken lots of astronauts up, including some commercial ones, cargo too. boeing just haven't quite got there yet. but nasa has reaffirmed its commitment to boeing's spacecraft.

they want this thing to fly, so they will be relieved it got on the ground safely. so i assume now the big question is why there was the helium leak and can they fix it? yeah, that's right. i mean, while the spacecraft was up in space, they did spend a lot of time looking at the data that was coming back. they also carried out tests on the ground to see if these problems could be overcome. and nasa decided, ultimately, that they couldn't. i mean, the real thing they were concerned about was the thruster issues on the way up. several of the thrusters didn't work properly, as well as the helium leaks. so now it's back, they're going to be poring over that data again, both boeing and nasa, to see if these issues can be fixed. i mean, they were confident at the press conference just now that they can be overcome and they will see this fly people again in the not too distant future, but we don't have a date on that when just yet. the prime minister sir keir starmer is making his first official visit to ireland today.

he'll be in dublin for talks with his opposite number, simon harris. they'll discuss topics including commerce across the irish sea and they'll attend a nations league football match between ireland and england. is expected to arrive in the next hour. let's speak to our ireland correspondent sara girvin. what is on the agenda today? yes, a pretty packed agenda. we are expecting so keir starmer to arrive here in dublin within the next hour, he is the first british prime minister to visit dublin within the past five years and i think that gives you an indication of the state of relationships over that time. the country to be macro countries had clashed over brexit and how to deal with the legacy of the trouble but both have been keen to say this is an opportunity to reset the relationship. today will be the second time the leaders have met within the past two months

because the taoiseach at simon harris was the first international leader to visit the uk after sir keir starmer was elected, the two were pictured together smiling, having a pint of guinness and now it is time for the taoiseach to repay the hospitality. we have heard from downing street, they have said this is a new error of cooperation and friendship between britain and ireland and the relationship between the two countries has never reached its full potential, something they want to work on. pass this is a new era. we know both prime ministers will meet with business leaders and we are told they will discuss international matters such as gaza and ukraine. later on this afternoon into this evening that they will attend that football match between the republic of ireland and england at the aviva stadium in dublin. no matter what the score, we expect to see lots of smiles, handshakes, warm words today because both nations and governments are really keen to drive home the message that the

reset in their relationship is after a strong start.- after a strong start. yes, football _ after a strong start. yes, football always _ after a strong start. yes, football always a - after a strong start. yes, football always a good i after a strong start. yes, i football always a good thing for sir kia. are we spending anything concrete today or is it more justly two leaders getting to talk each other? it feels like an opportunity, a photo opportunity to show the leaders are getting on well. we know that sir keir starmer has been on a bit of a tour but of course he wants to get that image of him getting on very well with the republic of ireland, he says he wants to work on business ties as well as many others. we expect lots of handshakes and one thing i should say to you is that when i talked about the difficulties that the two countries have had with brexit and the legacy of northern ireland pot trouble is, when things came to a head,

the irish government said they would take the uk government to court over the legacy act, but the uk government since they came into power have vowed to repeal and replace that legacy act, so we expect sir keir starmer to be asked about that today and the taoiseach, will that legal action go ahead? photo opportunities are one thing, when words are another. with court action hanging over, thatis with court action hanging over, that is something that is difficult to deal with and something he will be asked about today.— something he will be asked about today. thank you very much. to kenya now where three days of national mourning have begun after at least 17 children died in a fire at a school. 70 children remain unaccounted for following the blaze which swept through a dormitory in the central county of nyeri. more than 2000 people tried to help rescue the children, many of whom were sheltering under their beds. our correspondent barbara plett usher has the latest on the search. efforts are continuing to trace the children

who are still missing. it is thought that some parents may have picked up their children without reporting it. it has also been suggested that some children may have taken refuge with members of the community who came to try and help put out the fire. we spoke to one woman at the school who that said she had been attending a late—night vigil at a church nearby and the congregation heard the screams from the school and some of them went there and found out what was going on, so you can imagine the chaos there. she also said, though, that she had not been able to find her 11—year—old nephew, the family had checked at the various hospitals and they were very afraid that his body might be one of those that had not been able to be identified, because that's another thing that is going on, the dna testing of the remains that have been too burnt to be recognised. and there is also an investigation into why this happened, we don't know what the cause of it was. the president has promised a thorough investigation. it is true that fires at schools are common in kenya over the past years for various reasons, one of them would be poor safety

standards, overcrowding. another would be arson, some of the fires have been attributed to students who lit them themselves, sometimes because they are angry at the teachers, sometimes at the workload or the living conditions, so those are the reasons and schools have burnt in the past but we don't know what happened here and that is very much a focus of what is going on now, alongside those efforts, of course, to try to find the children who are still unaccounted for. our africa correspondent there in kenya. to the middle east now. the united nations has called for a full investigation into the death of an american—turkish dual citizen in the occupied west bank. the spokesman for the un secretary—general reiterated that civilians must be protected at all times. eyewitnesses and palestinian officials say israeli soldiers shot 26—year—old aysenur ezgi eygi in the head as she took part in a weekly protest against the expansion ofjewish settlements in the town of beita near nablus.

the dual—national was rushed to a hospital and later pronounced dead. let's speak to our correspondent james landale who's injerusalem. what do we know about what happened and why she was there? she recently graduated from washington university in seattle, born in turkey and spent most of her life in the united states. herfamily says she was a passionate human rights activist throughout her life, she only recently came to the west bank. she was at this weekly protest against an illegal settlement in the west bank, nearthe illegal settlement in the west bank, near the town of nablus, and according to eyewitnesses and according to eyewitnesses and palestinian officials she was shot in the head by israeli

forces. the is ready defence forces. the is ready defence forces have said they are reviewing the incident and they say some of their soldiers don't fire what they call the instigator of some violence who were throwing rocks. —— some of their soldiers did fire. the organisers of the protests deny this and say it was peaceful. either way, the family are saying and internal investigation by the israeli authorities isn't enough, they issued a statement calling on president biden to order an independent investigation to find out exactly what went on. i assume there will be pressure on israel from both the united states and turkey, as she is a dual citizen?— dual citizen? yes, and that pressure — dual citizen? yes, and that pressure is _ dual citizen? yes, and that pressure is already - dual citizen? yes, and that pressure is already there. l dual citizen? yes, and that i pressure is already there. the president of turkey describes

it as a barbaric intervention by military forces. even at the white house has said they found the killing deeply disturbing and say they have asked the israelis to investigate to find out what is going on. as well as the family, both countries of this lady's nationality are calling for investigation. the problem is, any kind of investigation, independent or not, would require the acquiescence of israeli authorities and that is not always forthcoming, so sometimes it is quite hard to actually find out what happened. sometimes there are proper investigations, but they quite often take quite a long time and they don't always reach the conclusions that the families of the victims would like. ., ~' families of the victims would like. . ~ ,, the most powerful storm in asia this year, super typhoon yagi,

has hit northern vietnam after killing at least three people in china and injuring nearly 100 others. yagi made landfall in northern vitenam, bringing wind speeds of at least 150 kilometres per hour. state media says it uprooted thousands of trees, swept ships and boats out to sea and left thousands without power. meanwhile in china, president xi has asked for disaster relief forces to be sent to the worst affected regions which include the popular tourist island of hainan and china's most populous province. earlier i spoke to martin yip from bbc chinese who's in hong kong. he told me how the storm has affected china. this is already the third landfall of this super typhoon and for china, the southern china regions of guangdong, quang ninh and hainan island, they are definitely not out of the woods yet, so on top of the three people killed, there's also nearly 100 injured across

these three regions. according to officials, 1.2 million people have been affected in different levels. we have seen pictures all over social media of trees being blown away, blocking major thoroughfares and streets and all that, as well as windows being torn apart in seconds. our colleagues in beijing have actually managed to speak to one of them who saw windows from his balcony being torn off in no time and he also told us that he has lost hundreds of thousands of chinese yuan, that would be around tens of thousands of us dollars, in his banana plantation, which has been pretty much flattened. so you can imagine what kind of economic impact this typhoon has brought to the region. hainan island is an important area for tropical fruits and plantation.

it's a very popular tourist spot, if you don't want to go out of china, and enjoy the kind of sunshine and beach in southeast asia, that is the place you go to, so there's a lot for hainan to review, although the least worst thing so far is probably just three died, still a significant blow to the place but only three died at the moment. to algeria next where the country is voting in the presidential election. the incumbent, abdelmadjid tebboune, expected to receive enough backing for a second term in office. with young people making up over half the population, the three main candidates — including a moderate islamist and a socialist — are targeting their votes with promises to improve living standards and to reduce dependency on hydrocarbons. let's speak to bbc arabic

correspondent sally nabil, who is in algiers. she is at a polling station. just explain, abdelmadjid tebboune, he is backed by the military? tebboune, he is backed by the milita ? ~ , , military? absolutely, he is laruel military? absolutely, he is largely seen _ military? absolutely, he is largely seen as _ military? absolutely, he is largely seen as a - military? absolutely, he is largely seen as a military l largely seen as a military backed candidate and they have had the results of the election seen by many here is already decided. a lot of people here believe mr tebboune will have an easy second term for another five years. just as he said he has been challenged by two candidates, a socialist and islamist, but there has been a lot of criticism. we have been hearing over the past few days that from politicians and young people that many of the logistics and resources in this country have been dedicated to the campaign of mr tebboune, so in fact it is not about who algerians will choose, it is more or less about how excited and enthusiastic they are to

come here and cast their vote. since the polls opened around four hours ago it has been very quiet, only seen very few voters and security personnel outside this polling station are far more than the voters who have come to cast their votes inside. the big question is how much do algerians believe in at the credibility of this process? i’m believe in at the credibility of this process? i'm interested in the make-up _ of this process? i'm interested in the make-up of _ of this process? i'm interested in the make-up of the - of this process? i'm interested in the make-up of the voters, | of this process? i'm interested | in the make-up of the voters, i in the make—up of the voters, i was reading a large percentage are under a0 was reading a large percentage are underli0 and was reading a large percentage are under a0 and there are a lot of women there, so have the candidates been trying particularly to targets younger under a0s and women? absolutely. the three candidates, among them, president tebboune have been promising morejobs, better living conditions because economic conditions here are on the mind of every algerian of voter, inflation rates are

high, unemployment rate among the use is 30%, so all the candidates running our pledging morejob opportunities candidates running our pledging more job opportunities and better living conditions and you have to bear in mind this comes five years after thousands or maybe millions of young protesters took to the streets back in 2019, calling for a drastic change in algerians multi macro life, a country based on freedom and democracy, but if you ask many of these protesters they will say not many of their dreams have come true.— britain's jack draper lost in dramatic fashion in his us open semifinal — the 22—year—old vomiting on court several times in his defeat to world number one jannik sinner. in the biggest match of his career, draper went down in straight sets, 7—5, 7—6, 6—2 in new york. during the second set, the 25th seed vomited three times. here he is speaking after the match.

when you play the top players, the intensity is different, it is a step up and i think obviously it is a big occasion for me, i definitely felt, even though i generally feel pretty relaxed and stuff, i definitely felt a little bit more excited today, a few more nerves around and i'm definitely someone who i think is quite an anxious human being, so i think when you add all that together sometimes, i do feel a bit of nausea on courts and i do feel a little bit sick when it gets tough. dr martin turner is a sports psychologist at manchester metropolitan university and a specialist in human performance. i asked him how common it is for athletes to vomit like jack draper. we often don't see

this with athletes, often it is happening away from the cameras, so typically what i would say is this happens in the changing rooms, the hotel before a big game, that is when these kind of things will take place and they are quite common, but for it to take place on court in front of the cameras, i would say that is pretty rare. how does performance anxiety affect athletes? it affects them physically, as we saw with this incident, but also affects them mentally, so this might mean being overconcerned, worried about the negative aspects of performance, what would happen if i lose, rumination, worry, those type of things, but also physically, the increased heart rate, sweating, tension and nausea is really common. not necessarily always to the point where someone actually vomits, but still the feeling of needing to be sick is extremely common.

jack draper we saw did throw up but are there any way that anxiety can be managed so it does not end up like that? yes, partly you want to reduce the anxiety, that is obviously what people would like to do, but more realistically for performers, you are better off trying to channel that anxiety into something good, into energy and attention for the game you are playing. so whilst it is tempting to try to reduce your anxiety and sometimes get in a nice, relaxed state, the reality is anxiety is kind of there to help you and if you can see it in that way and understand it is a natural part of performance, and help to challenge it into your performance, see the positives of it, you will end up in a lot better position. often we can get into a little battle of trying to reduce anxiety and squash it down, that tends not to work so well and can exacerbate the anxiety, much better to say, actually, this is normal, a normal part of being a human being,

can i use this to help me with my performance? the former liverpool captain ron yeats has died at the age of 86. he went on to make a50 appearances over more than a decade at anfield, scoring 16 goals. the aberdeen born centre back had been living without soma is for some time, you can read more about that on the bbc sports website and app. —— had been living with alzheimer's. the prime minister has confirmed that a memorial to queen elizabeth the second will be built in stjames' park in london. it's expected to take the form of a statue or sculpture. architects and artists will be invited to submit proposals later this year —

with the chosen design confirmed by 2026. it would be in close proximity to the mall. outside the front of buckingham palace but also very popular with tourists, so the plan is tourists can visit buckingham palace and at the same time go to the park and enjoy and appreciate this monument to the late queen elizabeth ii. the area itself is very popular with other royal memorials as well, outside the front of buckingham palace gates is the statue of queen victoria and just down the mall, the two statues of the mall, the two statues of the queen's parents, king george vi and the queen mother. the designs that will be released close to the centenary anniversary of queen elizabeth ii's birth surround a spring in 2026 and keir starmer says he has paid tribute, the enduring legacy to our country she showed will never be forgotten. who will choose it? i assume

there is a committee.- who will choose it? i assume there is a committee. that is, es and there is a committee. that is, yes and at _ there is a committee. that is, yes and at the _ there is a committee. that is, yes and at the same - there is a committee. that is, yes and at the same time i there is a committee. that is, i yes and at the same time these why commemoratives schemes in place, as is custom when a member of the royal family dies there are a lot of plans in place to remember them. king george vi for example, there were public parks and playing fields and buildings named after him and we can expect the same. permissions will need to be granted sparingly this time, so pubs like to name themselves after past monarchs but on this occasion they will need to get official permission to do so. wider commemoratives schemes will be put in place and rolling out over the coming years. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. the past few days have brought some heavy rain and flash flooding across parts of south

wales and southern england, but some much warmer weather further north. those contrasts continue through the rest of the weekend. warm sunshine in the north west today. a few showers around further south, but certainly not the persistent and heavy rain that we've seen over recent days. bit of rain moving in across the south west of england this afternoon into wales, the midlands. parts of lincolnshire could see the odd shower. much of south east england and east anglia should stay dry and further north across scotland, northern ireland, northern england you are staying dry, settled and pretty warm, too. we could see temperatures again in the mid 20s in some spots, a little bit cooler close to the east coast where you keep that onshore flow and a little bit of misty murkiness. through this evening, and we'll start to see this area of low pressure sitting to the south, just easing a little bit further north. as it does so, it will throw some showers and some thunderstorms across southern counties of england initially, into south wales, and later in the night, some of those showers become a little bit more extensive for central and southern england and wales. the northern half of the uk stays dry overnight, but again, like the past few nights, we've got some mist and some fog with that moist, humid air mass.

temperatures staying in the mid—teens. through the day tomorrow, we've got this area of rain that becomes a little bit more persistent across parts of northern england, wales, down towards the south west of england. sunshine and slow moving, heavy thundery showers for the rest of england, i think. but scotland and northern ireland again dry for much of the day. some rain into the east later on, but temperatures 23 degrees or so for the warmest spots. and of course it's the great north run tomorrow and i do think some of that rain could affect the region for quite a bit of the day. 1a or 15 degrees. not too warm for any runners there. heading through into monday, and low pressure starts to ease away towards the east. higher pressure building in so that will improve the weather from the west as we move through monday, but some showers linger for parts of eastern england, the winds coming in from a west or even north westerly direction, so a bit of a change in wind direction. it'll feel different. not as warm as recent days, not as humid, and temperatures between about 16 to 19 for most of us. but then that cooling trend continues as we head into next week, especially through the middle part of the week.

you can see the blue colour showing this colder air mass sinking in from the north west, bringing with it some sunshine, but also some showers. a real drop in temperature through next week, and most of the showers are going to be across the north west of the uk. bye for now.

this is bbc news. the headlines... boeing's starliner spacecraft lands back on earth but

the astronauts it was supposed to be carrying are staying behind. the capsule had developed technical problems, and nasa decided it would be safer to leave the two astronauts on board the iss. three days of national mourning begin in kenya after at least 17 children died in a fire at a school. dozens remain unaccounted for. anxious parents are waiting to find out if they are still alive. asia's most powerful storm of the year makes landfall in vietnam, causing widespread damage after devastating parts of china and killing three people. super typhoon yagi is packing winds of 150 kilometres an hour. sir keir starmer is in dublin for talks for the time in five years. downing street says it marks a "new era of co—operation and friendship" between britain and ireland. hello.

i just want to take you to central london,
