We’ll be closing this live page soon, so head to the BBC’s main live page to keeping reading our coverage as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson is named as the suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

BBC Verify’s Nick Beake is currently travelling to southern Utah where he’ll aim to gather more information from the suspect’s home town.

Scroll back on this page to see how Tyler Robinson’s mother’s Facebook profile helped us find pictures and other profile information. We also assessed the meaning behind the slogans inscribed on the bullets that were found with the rifle used in the shooting.

We’ve also verified footage showing the Sudanese army retaking the key town of Bara, analysed videos of Ukrainian drone attacks on the Russian Smolensk and Leningrad regions, and asked if the UK’s Labour government is on track meet its target of delivering 1.5 million new homes in five years.

There’s also Ros Atkins’ latest report - on Israel's war in Gaza and proportionality - that you can read here.

BBC Verify Live will be back on Monday morning.

The BBC Verify team on the ground in Utah was listening to the FBI news conference where 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was named as the suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk while we were driving to Washington County where the suspect’s family lives.

We’re aiming to gather as much information about the suspect as we can and also report on the mood in the town.

BBC Verify US correspondent Nick Beake will be reporting from the far south of Utah for the BBC News at Ten and BBC News website with an updated timeline of the shooting and what we can expect next.

An Israeli military spokesman has published new advice for areas within the Strip that residents of Gaza City can go to as operations continue in the city.

The social media post recommends 14 locations which people can relocate to "for their protection".

Some of the locations mentioned are in central Gaza in an area that has not been declared a "combat zone" or a"humanitarian zone" by Israeli forces.

Meanwhile, Palestinian social media channels are reporting that evacuation orders for specific buildings are being issued locally.

One such order was reportedly issued for the area around the Safadi tower in the Nasr neighbourhood of Gaza City.

We have verified footage showing blasts in close proximity to the tower.

Officials in Utah say a series of slogans were carved into bullets found along with the rifle that they say was used to kill Charlie Kirk.

The messages appear to be associated with anti-fascist movements. One round was inscribed with the lyrics: "Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Ciao, Ciao."

The phrase is drawn from the song Belle Ciao, an Italian anthem dedicated to partisan fighters who fought against the occupying Nazi forces during World War 2. It was catapulted back into popular use after it featured in the TV series Money Heist.

Another bullet was marked with three down arrows. This image has been associated with socialist groups and their opposition to the Nazi regime in the 1930s, but has more recently been adopted by Antifa - a decentralised movement sometimes associated with violent opposition to far-right and racist groups.

"Hey Fascist. Catch” was also inscribed on another round, officials said.

While we’ve been reporting on an apparently large drone attack on Russia - Moscow said 221 had been shot down - we’ve also seen footage showing an attack on the city of Sumy in northern Ukraine first thing this morning.

In a Telegram post, the region’s head Oleh Hryhorov said three people were killed and five wounded. Among the dead was a security guard at a garage.

Ukraine’s state emergencies service has shared several images showing the aftermath of the attack including a short video showing rescue workers carrying what appears to be a body from the ruins of the building.

We were able to verify and geolocate the site of the attack because the name “Gold Auto” appears on the damaged building in the footage. We could match the garage in the video with imagery on Google Maps.

Ukraine's air defences shot down or suppressed 33 Russian drones during last night’s attack, the Ukrainian Air Force said in a Telegram post, external.

As we mentioned earlier, when the name Tyler Robinson was first reported by US media we began to investigate the suspect’s online presence.

A couple of different images started circulating on social media, supposedly showing the suspect. We ran reverse image searches and put pictures through facial recognition tools, but came up with little.

Then I came across a post on X claiming to have located the Facebook page of Tyler’s father. The page itself revealed little but it did feature photos of a man and a woman.

Expanding the search, I looked up “Robinson” accounts from Utah and found the Facebook profile of a woman which linked to what was said to be Tyler Robinson’s father’s page. Some posts on X claimed this was his mother.

Her profile was far more public and it contained multiple images of the suspect who was named in the posts.

In one photo, the suspect wore the same Converse trainers as seen in images of the “person of interest” released by the FBI. One comment said: “We are so proud of you, Tyler!”

Another post on the page showed Tyler Robinson’s mother wishing her child a happy 19th birthday in 2022, which matches with the age of 22 given by law enforcement officials today.

The account’s owner began deleting images that mentioned Tyler by name shortly after the name began to be reported.

At BBC Verify we've been digging into social media accounts associated with Tyler Robinson who has been named by the BBC's US partner CBS as the suspect in the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

One Facebook profile that we believe belongs to his mother - which she now appears to be clearing of images of Tyler - suggests the family comes from Cedar City in Utah, around three hours drive from the Utah Valley University where the shooting took place.

Her account reveals numerous details about the family's life and includes photos of trips they made - some of which appear to have included visits to gun ranges.

Other posts on her profile reveal that Tyler Robinson attended Pineview Middle School. In 2022, he moved to the city of Logan to attended Utah State University - about two hours drive from Utah Valley University.

We're still searching for any profiles that belong to Tyler and will bring you more information as we get it.

One element of international law that is repeatedly referenced with regard to the war in Gaza is the “principle of proportionately”.

I was interested to look into this further.

Working with my BBC Verify colleague Jemimah Herd we first wanted to explain how international law addresses proportionality in warfare.

Second, we wanted to document the consequences in Gaza of Israel's military operation.

Third, we wanted to document why the Israeli government and the Israel Defense Forces believe that their actions have been proportionate and in line with international law.

And finally, we wanted to ask a range of international law experts whether they consider Israel's actions to have been proportionate.

In recent weeks, Jemimah and I have set about doing this.

Our hope is that we've produced a helpful explanation of how these complex and important aspects of international law relate to what's happening in Gaza.

The Sudanese army, which has been fighting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in a civil war since 2023, has announced the retaking of the town of Bara in the North Kordofan region of central Sudan - an important gain in its attempt to control more of the country.

With the fighting often taking place in remote areas, verifying videos and images posted on social media is an important means of confirming events.

We have located several videos showing Sudanese army soldiers and fighters from allied groups at several locations inside the town on Thursday, which is consistent with reports of its recapture.

The videos were filmed at a main road junction, outside the town courthouse, and at the main hospital. In some videos, the people filming mention the date as 11 September.

One video filmed outside a hotel in the town shows a key commander Abu Aqla Keikal - who defected from the RSF last year. His defection enabled the army to take back another part of central Sudan from the RSF.

We have matched the buildings and other landmarks we see in the clips to images available on Google Maps and checked previous images of the army commander to the person seen in the video filmed at the hotel.

Controlling Bara allows the army the secure the North Kordofan state capital, El-Obeid and control another supply route into central Sudan from the capital, Khartoum, which it took back from the RSF earlier this year.

The new Housing Secretary Steve Reed, who replaced Labour Deputy Leader Angela Rayner following her resignation last week, has re-stated the government’s pledge to deliver 1.5 million new homes in England by the next election.

How achievable is it? The answer is it’s technically possible, but the numbers involved are a very big challenge.

Hitting that total over a five-year parliament requires around 300,000 house completions a year – building at a rate not seen since the 1970s.

Ministers say output will “ramp up” in the later years.

When officials re-calculated how many homes each area needed, external at the end of 2024, they came to a total of 370,000 homes a year.

If that level were met in each of the final three years, it would produce just over 1.1 million homes. Add roughly 200,000 homes registered in Labour’s first year – and assuming a similar second year – then on paper the target could be reached.

But it’s a challenge. Planning approvals for housing in England fell to a record low last year, with builders report rising brick costs, some councils saying the targets are “unrealistic” and the Home Builders Federation warning that costs and taxes are climbing.

You can see how many homes your area has been told it needs and how many were registered in the last year with BBC Verify’s housing tracker.

Some online users have been turning to AI tools in an attempt to enhance the grainy images released by the FBI of the person of interest in the killing of Charlie Kirk. Some of these AI-enhanced images are now being widely shared online, including by users with millions of followers.

But experts have told BBC Verify that relying on AI-enhanced tools to uncover key details in images is both "risky" and "wrong". AI tools are trained on lots of high-quality images, which are then blurred so the technology can learn to predict what a clearer version might look like.

So, when you ask an AI tool to unblur an image, it is just making a prediction based on the images it has been trained on, says Prof Thomas Nowotny, head of the AI research group at the University of Sussex.

In some of the AI-enhanced versions of the FBI images, the technology has distorted the US flag and eagle design that we previously identified on the black shirt worn by the individual. In others, it has added a moustache to the person of interest.

“If you want to enhance your holiday snaps to be sharper, more colourful and crisper and don't need them to actually reflect reality, it's the perfect tool,” says Nowotny.

We’re continuing to look at what’s being shared online in Russia following last night’s reported Ukrainian drone attack.

Two Telegram channels that post updates on the war have claimed that Ukrainian drones attacked an oil refinery in Russia’s Smolensk region.

We have seen a night-time video that shows what looks like a drone being shot down by air defences over the city of Smolensk.

We have verified the video by matching a roundabout and nearby buldings visible in the footage with imagery on Google Maps which shows the footage was shot in the city’s Zadnepovsky district.

Some Russian war bloggers have said that the drones attacked the Lukoil oil refinery in the Smolensk region.

The FBI has released new footage showing the suspect in the killing of US activist Charlie Kirk running across a roof - from where the fatal shot was fired - before dropping to the ground and crossing a road.

As the authorities continue their search, BBC Verify’s Nick Beake has been looking at the footage and what we know so far.

This morning we are looking into reports of a major drone attack on Russia during the night.

The defence ministry in Moscow said it intercepted 221 Ukrainian drones. In one video from the town of Tosno in the Leningrad region that we have verified, multiple explosions can be heard although it is unclear what is being targeted.

Around 100 miles to the north, in the port town of Primorsk, fires were extinguished on a vessel and at a pumping station, according to regional governor Alexander Drozdenko. As yet, we have been unable to confirm these reports.

The scale of the drone attack on Russia is notable, particularly as today marks the start of military exercises involving Russian and Belarusian forces in the Baltic and Barents seas.

Phase one of the exercises — dubbed Zapad (West) - will model responses to attacks on the two countries.

We’re verifying material posted from inside Russia after the ministry of defence in Moscow said its air defences had shot down 221 Ukrainian drones - one of the highest of the war so far. Posts on social media and the Telegram messaging app suggest that the drones reached as far north as an oil and gas terminal near St Petersburg.

BBC Verify is continuing to gather material to add to what we know about the killing of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Our correspondent Nick Beake has travelled to the scene of the shooting at Utah Valley University and has sent a report on what we’ve learned so far. We’ll continue digging into this story and bring you updates here and on the dedicated BBC News live page.

Our data journalists have been tracking the UK government’s target to build 1.5 million new homes in England in five years. The latest data comes out this morning so we can see what progress has been made. We’ll also update our interactive tracker where you can see what the situation is like where you live.

And we’re monitoring footage being posted from Sudan where the country’s army claims to have retaken a key town from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces that it’s been fighting in a civil war for more than two years.
