Tom Mueller was the first employee at SpaceX, a company he co-founded with Elon Musk in 2002.

Now, more than two decades later, the company is about to make its public market debut, with an estimated worth of more than $1.8 trillion.

The BBC's Michelle Fleury spoke to Mueller about Musk's vision.

The former footballer was joined by his wife Victoria Beckham and their children, as well as actor Tom Cruise.

Bosnia-Herzegovina fans attending the team's game in Toronto, Canada spoke to the BBC about how costly their trip and seats were.

Severe weather has torn through the midwest, destroying homes, disrupting flights, and knocking out power for thousands across the region.

Translink apologised, saying "it was prioritising keeping staff, passengers, and the wider public safe".

The clip subsequently went viral, something co-headteacher Paul Bailey says took them by surprise.
