Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was allegedly shot by Israeli troops, according to local media reports and fellow activists, while taking part in a protest against Jewish settlement expansion in the town of Beita. The killing comes after Israeli forces withdrew from Jenin city at the end of a major nine-day operation. Also on the programme: an Mpox vaccination drive is launched in the Democratic Republic of Congo, giving hope to those at risk of contracting the virus; and as China announces it will end all international adoption from the country, we speak to a student adopted by American parents when she was a baby.

Hello, and welcome to Newshour from the BBC World Service.
Coming to you live from London, I'm Celia Hatton.
We begin our program several hours after the shooting death of a 26 year old turkish american woman in the israeli occupied West Bank.
Aisha Noor Ezgiegi, who was born in Turkey, is reported to have been taking part in a protest against jewish settlement expansion in the town of Beta near Nablus.
As we'll hear in a few minutes from a witness who was there, it was the first such protest she'd attended.
It's alleged she was shot by israeli troops.
This comes after israeli forces withdrew from Jenin City and its refugee camp in the occupied West bank following a major nine day operation there.
Her correspondent, Lucy Williamson, has been in Jenin.
She sent us this report.
There's a young man on a bright red motorbike bumping and dipping through broken waves of asphalt in Jeanine's town center, dodging the diggers that are just starting to rebuild the road that was destroyed by Israel's armored bulldozers.
After more than nine days of virtual siege, people here are impatient to reclaim their city.
In Jeanine's cramped refugee camp, residents were emerging this morning stunned and exhausted, to assess the damage.
We found Khalid Abu Sabiya in his basement apartment.
The army had evacuated him and his wife, he said, before blowing up a cave under the mosque next door.
There's just nothing left of Khalid Abu Sabir's home.
There's a few concrete pillars holding up the roof, and the rest of it's just mountains of rubble, huge pieces of concrete, tiny sticks of furniture sticking out of it.
It feels like we are starting our lives all over again.
This house was all we had.
We didn't expect the whole house to be destroyed.
We hoped to at least find one.
