People in Gaza are marking the Islamic holy month of Ramadan under a shaky ceasefire after two years of war.

Israel's military offensive in Gaza killed more than 72,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

It was triggered by the Hamas-led attacks and mass hostage-taking, which killed some 1,200 people in Israel in October 2023.

Amid widespread destruction and displacement in the territory, our Middle East correspondent Yoland Nell reports from Jerusalem on how Gazans are trying to worship, reflect and celebrate.

The former US President Bill Clinton is the latest high-profile figure giving evidence to a congressional committee about his relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

But among the millions of documents released by the US Department of Justice last month,

A paper showing that Epstein tried to buy a multi-million dollar palace in Morocco the day before his arrest in 2019.

The BBC's Richard Hamilton is a former correspondent in Morocco and told me more about the palace.

It's just amazing.

It's called Bin Enakil, which means between the palm trees.

It's located in an oasis outside Marrakesh called the Palmery.

I was actually there 10 days ago, but I hasten to add I didn't stay in this palace.

It's four and a half hectares, five and a half thousand square metres.

It has 60 marble fountains, seven gardens with more than 2,000 palm trees.

Intricate stucco plasterwork on the walls, Arabic calligraphy, geometrical mosaics, gold-draped rooms, Moorish horseshoe-shaped arches, a spa, an outdoor pool.

It's actually modelled on the Alhambra Palace in Granada in Spain, which is the 13th century palace of the Emir of Granada.

And weirdly, the project was started by a very wealthy German businessman with a bizarre name of Gunther Kiss,

who discovered a 600-year-old original plan for the Alhambra in a London bookshop.
