The Russian opposition leader died in an Arctic prison.

Alexei Navalny has been buried at a cemetery on the outskirts of Moscow. Large crowds risked arrest by attending and showing support for the prominent government critic. As his body was taken for burial, supporters chanted "Russia without Putin" and "Russia will be free". We'll speak to someone who's there.

Several countries have joined the UN in calling for an investigation into the deaths of more than 100 Palestinians during an aid delivery in Gaza. At least 117 people were killed and more than 760 injured on Thursday as they crowded around aid lorries. Hamas accused Israel of firing at civilians, but Israel said most died in a crush after it fired warning shots. We'll explain what we know so far.

US singer Cat Janice, who found fame on TikTok, has died of cancer aged 31. We'll hear messages from fans around the world.
