incident of an unintended strike of our forces on innocent people in the gaza strip. this happens in war. the uk foreign secretary, david cameron, has called the deaths "completely unacceptable" as britain summons the israeli ambassador to the foreign office unicef�*s global spokeperson, james elder, called it a needless act. it was immense work, and they would've 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. 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 new technology for millions of people with type one diabetes called a an artificial pancreas.

hello, i'm matthew amroliwala, welcome to verified live. the you wake stomach or uk has called on israel to immediately investigate the death of three british nationals in gaza. prime minister rishi sunak said he was shocked and saddened by the deaths of the aid workers in gaza. the uk's foreign secretary david cameron spoke with israel's foreign minister. lord cameron wrote on x... the charity, world central kitchen, says their convoy was bombed in an israeli air strike just after they had unloaded food aid at a

warehouse. they are now suspending their operations in gaza. the israeli military says it is conducting a review into the incident. the seven workers are from australia, the uk, poland, the us canadian dual citizen as well as a palestinian. world leaders and foreign ministers are pressing israel to clarify the circumstances surrounding the deaths. 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 will do everything for this not to happen again. bbc verify has been analysing footage from the aftermath of the incident. here's merlyn thomas. we've been trying to piece together what happened by examining photos of the aftermath, like this one. so far among the confirmed dead are australian, polish, british and palestinians, along with a dual us—canadian citizen.

they were working for food aid charity, world central kitchen. it says they dropped off more than 100 tonnes of food supplies at a warehouse in deir al—balah, which is here in central gaza. the charity said the workers were travelling in a convoy of three vehicles, two of them armoured. we've been analysing photos of the cars and the aftermath of the attack. now, we've verified the location for all three of them, which are here. now, let me take you through what we can see. this is a photo of one of those armoured vehicles, and you can see a jagged hole its roof as well as the world central kitchen logo. we've geolocated that by matching it up with a low wall, a pylon and two distinctive rooves in the background with satellite imagery to a place on the coastal al—rashid road that's not far from deir al—balah. and the second armoured vehicle is here, and we've been able to geolocate it by the palm trees, the distinctive archway here and a tall, red—roofed building in the background. it was filmed about 800 metres

further north of the other vehicle, on the very same road. and, finally, there's a third vehicle, which the food aid charity says is unarmoured. we've geolocated it using a distinctive building here and this strip of elevated ground. it's worth noting that the three cars are about 2.5 kilometres apart. now, we showed these photos to military experts. chris cobb—smith, a former un weapons inspector, said the attack on vehicles almost certainly used missiles that are launched from drones. another expert, justin crump, who's a former british army officer and runs a risk intelligence company also stressed the strike was likely drone—launched and targeted. israeli premier benjamin netanyahu has said there was, "a tragic incident of an unintended strike of our forces "on innocent people in the gaza strip." the israeli army have said the incident was the result of an idf strike. the's still a lot we don't know —

for example, the exact sequence of events. the israeli newspaper haaretz is quoting its own sources as saying a succession of strikes hit the three vehicles, but we haven't been able to verify this independently. at bbc verify, we'll continue to investigate this incident and bring you updates when we can. of the seven aid workers from world central kitchen killed, the charity confirmed they included an aid workerfrom confirmed they included an aid worker from melbourne, confirmed they included an aid workerfrom melbourne, australia, who is described by her family as kind, selfless, and an outstanding human being who travelled the world helping others in their time of need. the polish foreign minister has confirmed the polish national was killed in that strike. colleagues have posted comments on social media as well, describing how he had taken part in delivering aid to ukrainian refugees following

russia's full—scale assault on ukraine. mourners gathered in the gazan city of rafaela today for the palestinian driver killed in that strike. —— rafah. hejoins us live on the programme from istanbul, and rushdie, you've been learning more details about those seven, take us through its popular i think now there's preparations for taking the six bodies to there's preparations for taking the six bodie ., , , ., , ., six bodies to the egyptian side, and the will be six bodies to the egyptian side, and they will be flying _ six bodies to the egyptian side, and they will be flying to _ six bodies to the egyptian side, and they will be flying to their _ they will be flying to their countries today. a funeral for the driver and the guide for the world central kitchen organisation, a food charity that's been involved in the last couple of months distributing food and cooking food for people and

— they saw about four people with un signs on their bullet proof vests, and they came to inspect the car, lifting some personal belongings from the six personnel that were killed, also taking pictures of the surrounding area. as i said, the preparation for sending them to rafah tomorrow is under way, and the funeralfor rafah tomorrow is under way, and the funeral for the palestinian colleague was buried. take you for that latest from _ colleague was buried. take you for that latest from istanbul. -- - colleague was buried. take you for that latest from istanbul. -- thank that latest from istanbul. —— thank you. i spoke to unicef spokesperson james elder to get his reaction to the news that seven aid workers were killed in gaza. he met with that charity team only a few days before that strike and he spoke about the shock at events, he then explained the precautions atms have to take to move around the territory in gaza. you don't expect this, when you get

approvals to move and you're in an armoured vehicle, you have to trust the occupied power, israel that you are allowed to move. you are 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 co—ordinates... and here we are, here we are. co-ordinates. .. and here we are, here we are-— co-ordinates. .. and here we are, here we are. james, 'ust for those --eole here we are. james, 'ust for those people watching _ here we are. james, just for those people watching around _ here we are. james, just for those people watching around the - here we are. james, just for those - people watching around the world who don't know how aid agencies operate on the ground, the cars we are seeing images of those vehicles on our screens at the moment, they were very clearly marked. the aid agencies do let israelis know what they are planning, there are routes used and the car used. is that absolutely common practice? trier? absolutely common practice? very much so, absolutely common practice? very much so. it's _ absolutely common practice? very much so, it's essential. _ absolutely common practice? - much so, it's essential. you can't move particularly where they are in the north uk without that approval. you seek that approval, it might take a day or three, but you seek approval two days before minimum,

you get that prove you —— approval and the exact co—ordinates, you'll move to the exact spot, it's called a waiting area, you might wait again for another call to get an all clear, then you'll move again. it is labourious and painstaking, it's an active military zone but once you start to move, as these young people were, again, in the essential delivery of food to people facing famine, then you do so in the hope that despite all the horrors you've seen that day at hospitals and so on, and injuries to children, you do so with the knowledge that you will not get a missile attack. and yet, here we are. as i say, there are thousands of families who assume they are safe in their homes. james elder speaking _ they are safe in their homes. james elder speaking to _ they are safe in their homes. james elder speaking to me _ they are safe in their homes. james elder speaking to me earlier - they are safe in their homes. james elder speaking to me earlier on - they are safe in their homes. james elder speaking to me earlier on the | elder speaking to me earlier on the programme. james langdale is here, and we've learned in the last hour orso and we've learned in the last hour or so that israel's foreign office called in, taking what they are saying? called in, taking what they are sa in: ? , , called in, taking what they are sa inc? , , , .,

again and keep the aid flowing," it's not just that this again and keep the aid flowing," it's notjust that this incident is upsetting allies or tarnishing israel pots reputation, it is undermining israel's claimed that it is allowing humanitarian aid and when the rest the world is saying "no you're not," at a time when israel has liberally targeted aid workers. it makes it hard for israel to make that point.— to make that point. thanks very much for all that- — joining me now is alistair burt, the former minister of state for the middle east, at the foreign office. welcome to the programme. your reaction to what we are seeing over the last 2a hours? reaction to what we are seeing over the last 24 hours?— the last 24 hours? every time you let an the last 24 hours? every time you get an incident _ the last 24 hours? every time you get an incident like _ the last 24 hours? every time you get an incident like this, - the last 24 hours? every time you get an incident like this, people i get an incident like this, people say, "is this a final turning point?" the tragedy in gaza has been going on since october 7th, since israel responded to the atrocious terror attack. israel responded to the atrocious terrorattack. every israel responded to the atrocious terror attack. every day that it goes on, israel more credibility.

this is a terrible attack, it's come to all our notice because of those who have been involved and our sympathies are with them, and with all the aid workers — 196 aid workers have been killed since israel's reprisals began. and in that time, of course, the tens of thousands of palestinians who have been killed. all of this is getting worse for israel, it's getting worse for the possible release of the hostages, it's getting worse in terms of regional dislocation with the attack yesterday by israel on the attack yesterday by israel on the iranian diplomatic mission in syria, and this has the chance of running out of control. maybe this incident will make people realise that the conflict has to come to an end and there has to be negotiations to end this and bring about some regional stability that's been almost completely laid waste in the last six months.— last six months. israel maintains and always _ last six months. israel maintains and always insists _ last six months. israel maintains and always insists that _ last six months. israel maintains and always insists that it -

last six months. israel maintains and always insists that it doesn'tj and always insists that it doesn't target civilians, it doesn't target aid workers — what are the straightforward, blunt questions that you think israel now has to answer here? it that you think israel now has to answer here?— that you think israel now has to answer here? ., , ., , ., answer here? it has to start giving transnarent _ answer here? it has to start giving transparent answers _ answer here? it has to start giving transparent answers to _ answer here? it has to start giving transparent answers to what - answer here? it has to start giving transparent answers to what has l transparent answers to what has happened. today will obviously be called for, and it's obviously of note that israel has responded quickly and admitted it was them. but if you look at the incident on 18 january, when medical aid for palestinians at a facility was bombed by the israelis, the british foreign secretary raised this with the israeli prime minister some days later because he was in israel, because british health workers were involved in that — there were no significant casualties, but the risk had been very high. since that time, and despite determinations of the british government to get an exclamation, a transparent exhalation, there's been six reasons given by israel for why that

happened. so that's just one incident, but you can talk about the killing of the britishjournalist incident, but you can talk about the killing of the british journalist on the west bank, the death of the young paramedic at the gaza fence some years ago targeted for no particular reason — we get no answers for these and there's no comeback ever on those who perpetrated it. until this happens, then i think people will be entitled to be sceptical of the answers we get from israel. and israel does not appreciate the damage it is doing to itself. it is a legitimate government carrying out factions in response to an appalling terrorist act, and for that reason it's factions must be scrutinised and it must be transparent, and we've not seen this. ., a ., , ., , seen this. two quick final questions - ou'll seen this. two quick final questions - you'll know _ seen this. two quick final questions - you'll know there's _ seen this. two quick final questions - you'll know there's been - seen this. two quick final questions - you'll know there's been much - — you'll know there's been much focus on whether israel is breaking international law — where are you on that? i

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 license 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. now to a story that will interest milions of people with type one diabetes around the world. patients in england are to be offered a pump that's been called an "artificial pancreas". health experts have called it

a game—changer that reduces the need for injections. i spoke to professor partha kar, national adviser for diabetes — and les watson, who suffers from type one diabetes. i started by asking professor kar how this actually works. to put it simply, and les will give a more detailed account from his own experience, in general, you have to prick yourfinger, look at another, think about what to do with a number, to give yourself insulin or glucose, and if needed, give yourself insulin through an injection pen. —— look at a number. what we're doing with this, a lot of that becomes automated. the word "artificial pancreas" is a bit of a misnomer because you still have to do a bit of work around it, but it does 70—80% of the work that used to be done previously, automated via technology. a big change, star trek in its nature, but the real life changes that can be brought by this particular science. let's talk to les, because you have used it.

i said that phrase in the introduction — game—changer — do you think that's what it is? yes, very much so. i've had type one diabetes for over 43 years, so when i started being treated, it was glass and metal syringes and there wasn't even a finger prick test. we have transitioned through to the classic treatment loop, which is, you take a finger prick as partha said, you then do maths, you have to calculate how much insulin to take before you give it with an insulin pen. i don't know if you can see that, but there is an insulin pen. so you are constantly on, all the time trying to assess how much insulin to take. have i taken too much, have i not taken enough? i'd better do another finger prick test". you go around that loop all day. every time there is a food, a meal, a snack, a biscuit, you do the loop, and it is quite wearing. when you go to bed, you are not sure

whether you have enough glucose in your system to cope with any residual insulin that may be there. so then you are anxious about having a hypoglycaemic attack or not, or having a hyperglycaemic event, where your blood sugars go very high. so those are the dangers. in terms of day—to—day with this new device, how much of a difference does it make? this new device has three components. the phone, the continuous glucose monitor, and the insulin pump. i only interact with the app on the phone when i want to eat something. i roughly estimate how much carbohydrate is in there. the phone sits in my pocket and i don't interact any more. it then calculates how much insulin to give me, when to give it, and then while asleep, using a bluetooth connection, communicates with my insulin pump. —— and then wirelessly. so it's picking up data

from an embedded, continuous glucose monitor, which is usually on my arm. here is one i took off a few days ago. and away it goes. i broadcast from the app on my phone to my watch, so if i want to check what my blood sugars are and how things are going, ijust have to look at my watch. absolutely fascinating. professor, let me bring you back in. in terms of who potentially will have access to this new device, talk me through what your hope is and the timeline we are talking about. we went through the process of asking nice, the body that tells us whether taxpayers should fund this, and thankfully they have looked at everything and given the green light to the vast majority of people in england with type one diabetes. all children, any women trying for pregnancy, and the vast majority of adults living with type one diabetes as well. a big one and one of the widest globally, so that is exciting.

on timeline, we have set out a five—year implementation plan, which is about right, because we have had great success with continuous glucose monitors, getting the sensors to people, and that took us about five years. there is a lot of the work to be done on training, staff, training for people with type one diabetes themselves. five years is about the right time, and we should be able to get it there. that is the hope and that's the plan. onwards we go. a fascinating new trial. the un has again called for the date immediate humanitarian sees worker after the death of those seven aid workers. you're watching bbc news. —— humanitarian cease—fire. hello there. there was some sunshine here and there today. this was rural essex earlier on. but we are seeing more cloud and some more rain arriving as well. you can see how the cloud has been racing across the atlantic and then

pushing up from the southwest. and these areas of cloud are areas of low pressure and their weather fronts which are bringing the rain up. and we're seeing rain at the moment moving up from the southwest across england and wales. and these outbreaks of rain will continue to affect england and wales for the next few hours and then head northwards into northern ireland and across scotland, where it's going to turn increasingly wet here. now, we do have some colder air across the far north of scotland, so a little bit chilly here overnight, but otherwise milder than last night. and in the south, temperatures could start at 10—11 early in the morning. further north, we've got the rain in northern england. that is moving northwards and it will get wetter across much of scotland and also northern ireland. some heavier rain and some heavier showers will follow that rain in northern england. further south, fewer showers. most places will be dry and there may be a bit more sunshine around than today. so again, we'll see those temperatures getting up to around 15 celsius. but if anything, in northern ireland and in scotland, it may be a bit colder than today thanks to a north easterly wind. for many parts of the uk though, we've got the winds coming in from the atlantic, the south—westerly winds bringing one area of low pressure after another. and on wednesday night,

we've got some rain moving mainly to england and wales that should then pull away during thursday. so things will turn a bit drier, maybe a bit brighter as well. but there's more rain to come in the southwest during thursday afternoon where the sun does come out ahead of that. it could be pleasantly warm, but it's still cold for the north where we've got the cloud in northern ireland and also in scotland. that northeasterly wind, it's going to be a feature of the weather in scotland over the next couple of days. further south, we've got the south—westerly winds — that of course is bringing in milderair. but this is where all the rain is coming from. and the next area of low pressure is moving a bit further north actually on friday. and that's going to take some wetter weather across northern ireland and into scotland, where briefly there could be some snow over the mountains. we'll see some showery bursts of rain for england and wales. windier weather out towards the west, not quite so windy in the east. there'll be a bit more sunshine here. so temperatures could reach 17 celsius, and those temperatures slowly rising in northern ireland. could be quite windy

to start the weekend, but it should be warm in the sunshine.
