this happens in war. unicef�*s global spokeperson, james elder, called it a needless act. it isa it is a senseless loss and it underscores there are senseless losses that are being suffered by families on the gaza strip every single day. a school shooting in finland leaves one child dead and two seriously injured. police say the suspect is just 12 years old. new research suggests rates of depression in people who've suffered a traumatic brain injury are ten times higher than in the general population. hello, i m matthew amroliwala, welcome to verified live.

there's been international condemnation after the death of seven aid workers in gaza — including three britons. the charity world central kitchen says their convoy was bombed in an israeli air strike — just after they'd unloaded food aid at a warehouse — they are now suspending its operations in gaza. the israeli military says it's conducting a review into the incident. the seven workers are from australia, the uk, poland, a us—canadian dual citizen, as well as a palestinian. world leaders and foreign ministers are pressing israel to clarify the circumstances surrounding their deaths. our correspondent injerusalem, yolande knell, begins our coverage. there were no survivors. cars and aid convoy were hit directly. even with the world central kitchen logos clearly displayed, and, the us charity says, prior co—ordination with the israeli military. displaced gazans staying in tents nearby heard the blast and ran to try and help. translation: this is our situation. anyone who distributes aid or brings

it to gaza is exposed to shelling and death, whether it is an international organisation or not. distressed colleagues of the seven aid workers killed have been absorbing the shocking news. since the war began, their ngo has provided more than a0 million meals in gaza. australian lalzawmi frankcom, who appeared in a recent world central kitchen video, has been confirmed as one of the dead. there are reportedly british citizens too. the prime minister, rishi sunak, says he is shocked and saddened. they're doing fantastic work, bringing alleviation to the suffering that many are experiencing in gaza, they should be praised and commended for what they are doing. they need to be allowed do that work unhindered, and it is incumbent on israel to make sure they can do that, and we are asking israel to investigate what happened urgently, because clearly there are questions that need to be answered. world central kitchen has been sending food to gaza from cyprus along a new sea route. the aid workers had just unloaded

100 tonnes from the latest shipment when they came under attack. israel's military says it's investigating. we are committed to examining our operations thoroughly and transparently. i just spoke to wck founder chef jose andres, and expressed the deepest condolences of israel defense forces to the families and the entire world central kitchen family. in gaza, where bodies of the aid workers, locals and foreigners are being sent home for burial, world central kitchen says it's heartbroken and grieving, and these deaths will be felt more widely too. the charity's now paused its operations in the war—torn territory, where famine is looming. it says it will soon make decisions about the future of its work. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. we are hearing from the canadian foreign minister, saying that canada

expects for accountability for foreign minister, saying that canada expects for accountabilit- expects for accountability for these killin . s and expects for accountability for these killings and would _ expects for accountability for these killings and would express - expects for accountability for these killings and would express this - killings and would express this directly to israel. strikes on humanitarian aid personnel are absolutely unacceptable, the canadian foreign minister said. the israeli prime minister also released this video message — a little earlier. translation: unfortunately, | in the last day there was a tragic incident of an unintended strike of our forces on innocent people in the gaza strip. this happens in war. we are checking this thoroughly. we are in touch with the governments and we will do everything for this not to happen again. i spoke to unicef spokesperson james elder to get his reaction to the news that seven aid workers were killed in gaza. well, it's just such a senseless loss, matthew. it's an immense tragedy for their families who would have no doubt been worried for them

every single day that they're away, hearing news and happy to get the odd message back and no doubt happy to hear the work that they were doing, the incredible work that they were doing. those people, the front line, some of the front line actions for people who were coming particularly down from the north of the gaza strip, who were cut off and had not seen food or sometimes anything like psychological help. and that's what these colleagues at world kitchen were doing. it was immense work and they would have been sharing that with families. it's a senseless loss. just in the same way it underscores there are senseless losses that families are enduring on the gaza strip every single day. we heard there that innocent lives, beautiful innocent lives. there are beautiful, innocent lives — tens of thousands of them have been killed since this war started. james, we spoke to you only last week on the programme. you were there in gaza. you're now out. but i gather you met with this team only in the last couple of days.

something like this, for all aid workers, must be shocking, must be winding. there's such an impressive team. where i met them, one of their spaces at world central kitchen, which is just near the final checkpoint on the coast there. they have psychological support for people because people who are coming out of the north have suffered all types of humiliation and relentless bombardment. a lot of people in residential housing around shifa hospital for two weeks had seen unspeakable things and they come out and they get food and. yeah, so there was something about these colleagues, palestinian. i hadn't met my australian counterpart, and they knew the dangers. they wanted to be there. i'm sorry — when i say they knew the dangers, they knew this is a difficult place to work. it's a place where you've got bad sanitation. i just left a friend who's got severe hepatitis because of what she's caught. but you don't expect this. when you get approvals to move and you're in an armoured vehicle, you have to trust the occupying

power, you have to trust israel, therefore, that you are allowed to move. you're only moving in that convoy, as we've all done many times, and an armoured vehicle is good if there's a stray bullet or something, a missile through the roof with your exact coordinates... i mean, here we are. here we are. i'm joined now by matthew hollingworth from the world food programme. your reaction to this latest development? we your reaction to this latest development?— your reaction to this latest develoment? . ., ., ., , ., development? we are all devastated b this development? we are all devastated by this killing — development? we are all devastated by this killing of— development? we are all devastated by this killing of our _ development? we are all devastated by this killing of our colleagues - by this killing of our colleagues and friends from the world central kitchen. some of whom are fairly new arrivals and they have only been in gaza for the last month and have done an extraordinaryjob. world central kitchen is feeding nearly half a million people through their

kitchens, their kitchen stations, soup kitchens, and they are incredibly important in terms of being part of the bigger food security team of organisation that is trying to stop a famine in a place where half the population is facing imminent famine to death, where starvation israel, where children are dying of malnutrition —related deaths now and they are doing an amazing job, our team. the last two weeks i was there, and the previous 15 days i was there, i met with some of these team members and we worked with them and we went on convoys with them and we planned operations. we are devastated. these are notjust colleagues but friends that we have lost.— are notjust colleagues but friends that we have lost. every element of this is really — that we have lost. every element of this is really devastating _ that we have lost. every element of this is really devastating on - that we have lost. every element of this is really devastating on a - this is really devastating on a human level but you referenced the food and the humanitarian efforts. how worrying is in that world

central kitchen and others have now suspended their operations, the wider impact you think this is likely to have? to wider impact you think this is likely to have?— wider impact you think this is likely to have? to be clear, well the central _ likely to have? to be clear, well the central kitchen _ likely to have? to be clear, well the central kitchen can - likely to have? to be clear, well the central kitchen can do - likely to have? to be clear, well. the central kitchen can do nothing else but temporarily suspend their operations —— world central kitchen. the backbone of the team that was running the pier and receiving food from the cyprus operation, receiving it last night, putting it into their warehouse and getting it ready for dispatch into gaza and other parts of the gaza strip, they are now sadly dead so i can understand why the world central kitchen has suspended temporarily but we do not want them to suspend permanently. they are too important and this is a team effort across many organisations, not least the world food programme, unrwa, and others, to try to get food everywhere in the

gaza strip every single day consistently, so it would be a terrible thing if they can't reopen but right now they need to grieve and bring in new staff and rebuild the team that has been devastated. it is absolutely devastating for that organisation but so many different organisations are trying to operate on the ground and this will reverberate with all of those people doing those dangerous tasks on the ground. we heard the us secretary of state saying there needs to be a swift and independent investigation. in terms of the basic questions that israel has got to answer, what would those be from the perspective of an aid agency? it is not only about _ perspective of an aid agency? it is not only about a _ perspective of an aid agency? it 3 not only about a swift investigation, it is about action and changing things, improving things. humanitarians should be protected and respected and we should have access to reach

everywhere we need to reach to support the most vulnerable across all of the gaza strip and we should be able to work and notify and coordinate in the fastest means possible and have real—time feedback from the idf and other actors in the conflict so we can move about safely and do ourjobs. we are there to save lives and that needs to be asserted. it is not only about an investigation, we need improvement investigation, we need improvement in that communication system between us, the humanitarians, and the idf, so this could never happen again, and that we can make sure that when our aberrations go late, because they do, forklift trucks breakdown, vehicles breakdown, trucks breakdown —— when our operations go late. there are many logistics that make

it difficult and so let's not make it difficult and so let's not make it harder by having buses being at risk of being targeted by the military through the fighting that is going on. we want change and improvement and we want to make sure it never happens again and that is what i hope comes out of this, and that would be fitting for the people who have lost their lives last night, that we are able to stop this famine in its tracks because of what change comes out of this horrific tragedy. change comes out of this horrific traced . ., . change comes out of this horrific traced. ., . , ., tragedy. you have been posting on social media _ tragedy. you have been posting on social media about _ tragedy. you have been posting on social media about al-shifa - tragedy. you have been posting on. social media about al-shifa hospital social media about al—shifa hospital after we saw the pictures there. how desperate is the situation on the ground in terms of humanitarian aid and food and also medicines and access to any sort of health cover? there is simply not enough health care workers and health care facilities to meet the needs of more

than 2 million people who are suffering because of starvation and hunger and malnutrition and access to poor water, just constant bombardment, normal illnesses, diarrhoea, hepatitis which is sadly flourishing because of the sanitation crisis. just not enough support and not enough hospitals. bottom line in all of this, if we are going to change the reality and improve the reality for more than 2.2 million people in gaza, we need a ceasefire and a humanitarian ceasefire and a permanent ceasefire and we need an opportunity to instead of focusing on different parties, focusing on caring for people for the people of gaza and those who care for them, humanitarians, and do not forget that the seven lives were lost last night, 196 humanitarians have lost their lives because of this war

during this war and that has got to stop. during this war and that has got to sto -. a during this war and that has got to sto. ., ., ., stop. matthew, thanks for “oining us. straight to the latest breaking development on that story because the uk foreign ministry has summoned the uk foreign ministry has summoned the israeli ambassador over the deaths of those aid workers, three of them are british, so summoning the israeli ambassador, the uk foreign office saying that the uk has set out the government's unequivocal condemnation of the appalling killing of seven world central kitchen aid workers including those three british nationals. that coming in that the israeli ambassador has been summoned to the foreign office. we are getting the latest line here that is

coming from lord cameron, saying that israel must urgently explain how this happened and make changes to make sure the safety of aid workers is respected on the ground. we have also heard from the canadians and we heard from australia's prime minister earlier condemning those deaths and asking the same sort of questions of the israelis which is an urgent investigation and answers into how this actually happened. plenty more on that in the next few minutes. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

iranian state media says 13 people are now confimed to have been killed in a suspected israeli air strike

on the iranian embassy in damascus. the iranian supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei says monday's attack — in which two senior commanders in iran's powerful revolutionary guards were killed — will not go unpunished. israel has not officially confirmed that it was responsible, but it is known to have carried out many similar attacks on iran—linked targets in syria in recent years. alex vatanka is director of the iran programme at the middle east institute. i asked him what was different about this attack to that of former general qasem soleimani who was killed in 2020. it's going to be different in terms of iranian reactions compared to what happened injanuary 2020 really depends on what iran decides to do next.

if i look at the trend, if i look at iranian israeli proxy conflict really escalating during the course of the last decade, particularly on syrian soil, then what we've seen is, yes, step by step escalation. but, fundamentally, what you have had all along is an iranian decision to avoid direct conflict with israel. and i'm not sure we're about to see a change on that fundamental issue on tehran's behalf. in terms of the israeli response. they, of course, never directly respond to say if they're responsible. but their defence minister today has said, "we operate everywhere every day in order to prevent our enemies from gaining strength. "we make it clear to anyone who threatens us all over the middle east that the price for such action will be a big one." so you can interpret very clearly what is being said in that. but what do you think are the risks for israel with action like this?

clearly what the israelis are trying to do is to at least deter iran. i mean, what we had injust the last few days before the attack on the iranian embassy in damascus last week, i think it was friday, the iranian leadership, including top members of the revolutionary guards, the organisation of which those seven iranians in damascus came from, were killed. they hosted senior members of various palestinian factions. one has to assume, i'm sure that's how the israelis look at it, that part of that is to strategize militarily against what needs to be done against israel. so from israel's point of view, iran is notjust an innocent bystander. they're very much empowering palestinians. and again, israeli actions are, i'm assuming at this point, are not meant to start a warwith iran. that's not what israel wants either. but to shape iranian calculations and maybe hope that iran will

walk away. in terms of those calculations, a final question then, in terms of iran's likely response, what do you anticipate? look, i look at this in terms of the macro level, the big picture, this iranian israeli proxy conflict really starts when ayatollah khomeini takes power in tehran in 1979. so this is a proxy conflict about 45 years. but matthew, final point i make is, this iran does not consider this a conflict between iran and israel. more importantly, iran considers this a potential conflict with the united states because the iranian position is israel is an american proxy in the middle east. so when they're talking about going to war with israel, they know it could potentially be much bigger than just israel. and for that reason, they are so cautious in terms of their next steps. a 12 —year—old child has been arrested in finland — suspected of a school shooting in which one pupil was killed and two others were seriously injured. it happened in a suburb of the capital helsinki. police say the suspect used a handgun that belonged to a close relative. ben woolvin reports.

an anxious wait for parents trying to collect their children shortly after the start of the school day, as news of this morning's shooting spread. police were on the scene within nine minutes of the emergency call. they say all of the victims were 12, two of them have been seriously injured and another died at the scene. according to the latest information, one of the victims died almost immediately at this location in the school. and two other victims were transported to the hospital in helsinki. police say the suspect, a 12—year—old boy, initially fled the scene but was quickly arrested a short distance away in helsinki. they say the licence for the handgun he is believed to have used was held by a close relative. the finnish prime minister says incidents like this remain rare, but he says every one is one too many. the police say they don't yet know why a 12—year—old might have carried out this attack on other children.

ben woolvin, bbc news. in turkey — at least 29 people have been killed and at least three injured in a fire in a nightclub in istanbul. the city's mayor says the fire broke out during daytime repair work — adding that it had been extinguished. five people have been arrested in connection with the fire as investigations continue. these are the live pictures from the scene. fire crews making their way through the debris and the death toll has been rising through the day. there have been a number of arrests, five arrests, as the investigation and the aftermath work

continues. the sports brand adidas has banned german football fans from buying their country's kit with the number 44 on the back. concerns had been raised that it looked similar to the symbol used by nazi ss units in the second world war. pierre—antoine denis has more from the newsroom. it's not every day that the design failure's quite as embarrassing as this — and it's, in fact, a pr disaster for the german brand, adidas. personalising the kit with the number 4 is fairly innocuous, but the number 44 is something else, and can be seen to be an awkward reference to germany's darkest hour — the schutzstaffel or ss logo used by the nazi paramilitary unit. so, how did this huge mistake slip through the sportswear design team? mainly because the number 44 is not used by the german men's or women's teams and europe's football governing body, uefa, only ask for the design

for numbers 1 to 26. so no—one from adidas, the uefa or the german fa noticed a problem, as per the statement released by the german fa, and therefore the shirt was approved for sale. but when the kit was released with an option to customise with numbers from o to 99, then social media users were swift to see the problem. adidas, in fact, reacted very quickly. have a look at this when we browse through their website. let's say i want to buy the spanish shirt. i can click on it and then i have an option to personalise the shirt with a spanish star or with my own name. but if i then switch to germany here, i can see that the option to personalise is no more — adidas saying that it was important for them to block this move, and defending themselves, saying adidas actively opposes xenophobia, anti—semitism, violence and hatred in any form. so, of course, this is perhaps not the greatest mistake by adidas — that was probably missing out once

on signing an up—and—coming basketballer called michaeljordan, who eventually became the face of nike — but it has left different bosses red—faced, especially as the german efa says the deal with adidas will end in 2027. the manufacturer once again bested by its greatest rival, nike. very interesting story. the foreign secretary david cameron has called in the israeli ambassador in london to underline the death of the aid workers in gaza was completely unacceptable, he said. more on that soon. you're watching bbc news. hello there. there's been a lot of cloud around today and whilst we'll see some sunshine in the next few days, there will be some more rain as well. this is the rainfall accumulation. as you can see, we're all going to get some rain through the rest of this week. the wettest weather over the hills in the west

and into central southern scotland. it won't be as wet in the far north of scotland, perhaps, but it's quite cold here. temperatures struggling to around six or seven degrees, whereas with some brighter skies in between the showers in england and wales, 1a or 15 is likely. those showers are going to fade away because we've got this rain coming up from the southwest that's going to head northwards overnight, eventually into southern scotland and northern ireland. some patchy rain further north in scotland as well. so keeping a lot of cloud overnight should keep the temperatures a bit higher than last night, maybe no lower than ten or 11 degrees in the south. we've got that rain heading into northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland. some wet weather for a while here and the rain could be followed by some heavy showers in northern england. the odd shower further south in england and wales where we're seeing some sunshine around it as well. these are the temperatures. they're not really changing very much, but it's still quite cold across many parts of scotland. and that's because we've got this north easterly wind. but it's south—westerly winds that will bring wet weather in from the south west.

again, as we head later on into the week, another area of low pressure moving in, bringing some outbreaks of rain on wednesday night, heading away during thursday. we may see things becoming a bit drier and brighter. hopefully some sunshine around. not too many showers, but more rain arrives again in the southwest during the afternoon. those temperatures reaching 1a, perhaps 16 degrees in the southeast of england. still disappointingly chilly in that north easterly wind in scotland. and that's going to be the story through the rest of the week. further south, the winds are more from the southwest, hence the higher temperatures. but we've got all the wet weather coming in from the southwest as well. and by friday, there's another area of low pressure, this one taking more of a northerly track. it will take the wetter weather into scotland and northern ireland. and for a while there could be some snow over the scottish mountains before temperatures rise. we've got a few showers coming into england and wales. drier further east and not quite as windy, but some gales are likely through the irish sea. temperatures are slowly rising

in scotland, higher temperatures in england and wales, but some windy and warm weather for saturday.

this is bbc news. the headlines: seven aid workers, including three britons, have been killed, in an israeli air strike in gaza. benjamin netanyahu says it was a tragic mistake. the us secretary of state calls for a swift and independent
