palestinian authorities say seven people have been killed in an israeli strike on a hospital in gaza city. and a warning we are living in a dangerous new era as climate change drives another year of record—breaking heat and extreme weather. a period of national mourning has begun in south korea after 179 people died when a plane crashed while landing at muan international airport in the west of the country. the boeing 737, coming in from bangkok, had a total of 181 people on board. two survivors have been pulled from the wreckage, they are believed to be flight crew. authorities say a birdstrike may have caused the landing gear to malfunction.

both the plane's black boxes which record flight and voice data have now been found. the airline has issued a formal apology and plane manufacturer boeing sent its condolences to the families of those on board. our correspondentjean mackenzie is at the crash site and sent this report. this, the terrifying moment the plane lands at speed without its landing gear down, and careers down the runway unable to stop before crashing into the perimeter wall. it explodes, instantly engulfed by flames and thick smoke. none of the passengers stood a chance of surviving, the fire service told their families, as their bodies were slowly recovered. only the two air stewards at the back made it off alive, and to hospital.

we're at the perimeter of the airport now, and this fence behind us — and wall — is what the plane crashed into when it overshot the runway. and just behind me you can see the blackened charred tail of the plane sticking up. now, this is the only part of the aircraft that is still intact — the rest has been so fractured and splintered that the fire service have said that it's unidentifiable. inside the airport terminal, the families gathered to hear the terrible news. anguished scream. this is now a room full of incomprehensible heartbreak as they wait for the bodies to be identified. for mr mang, it was the first time his great—nephews had ever been abroad. they'd gone to celebrate the youngest taking his college entrance exams, he tells me. their father took them. the boys were so smart, and he wanted to treat them. "i can't believe the entire family has just disappeared. my heart aches so much." the head of the airline has

expressed his deep regret — this is the first fatal crash in his budget carrier's 20—year history. translation: i want to give my sincere apology| and condolences to those who've lost their lives in the accident, and their families. at the moment, it's hard to presume the cause of the accident, and we have to wait for the official investigation result from the authorities. it's thought the pilot couldn't activate the plane's landing gear. initial reports suggest a bird might have caused a fire in one of the engines. as the sun set, forensic teams were still searching the surrounding fields, while fire crews and engineers surveyed the little that's left of the wreckage — hoping to answer the many, many questions for a crash that's yet to make sense. and jean mackenzie is at muan international airport where she says many relatives are still waiting for answers.

you might be able to make out, perhaps just in the distance behind us there. that's the damaged tail of the plane. and we've just heard in the last couple of minutes that both the black box recorders have now been recovered, and all the bodies have now been recovered. so that is 179 people in total. that is everybody who was on this flight, apart from the two flight crew who were rescued. and just because the bodies have been retrieved, though, that doesn't mean that they will be identified. this process is taking a lot longer, and that is very painful for the families who are all waiting up in the terminal building at the moment. they know their loved ones were on that plane, but they need that confirmation. we've spent the past couple of hours up there, and every so often somebody will get up and read out a few more names and there will be this eruption of pain and heartache. this is the deadliest plane crash that has ever happened here in south korea. and this evening the president has come out and said that there is now going to be this seven day period of national mourning.

as we mentioned, the authorities in south korea have declared seven days of national mourning. acting president choi sang—mok said — chinese president xijinping said — here in the uk, foreign secretary david lammy wrote on x — and german chancellor olaf scholz wrote —

move faster and things become more unpredictable. so something that looks like, let's just say, an ordinary hurricane, i'm not going in a direction that says hurricane is our easily passable, i'm just saying one hurricane went for a category three to a category five very quickly and you saw what it did in north carolina by the amount of rainfall that felt. and the devastation that was caused, and that was climate induced. all of these things, and we can look right across the globe. don't look at your own country, don't look at the uk and say we haven't seen much of this, recent storms did damage in the welsh valleys. you have to look globally at these things and join the dots, and once you join the dots, and once you join those dots, you get a real picture of what is going on with accelerated temperatures, with accelerated temperatures, with fossil fuel emissions at their peak, despite what is going on in terms of
