run these people are heroes. they run into the fire, not away from it. they show the best of what humanity has to offer when the going really gets tough. the uk has called on israel to "immediately investigate" the deaths of three british nationals in an air strike in gaza. the 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 israel katz. john chapman, james henderson and james kirby. lord cameron wrote on x...

the charity world central kitchen says their convoy was bombed in an israeli air strikejust after they'd unloaded food aid, at a warehouse they are now suspending its operations in gaza. 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. 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 ourforces "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.

world billionaires list ranking now, forbes has revealed its latest world billionaires list, a ranking of the world's richest people. the list includes a record—breaking 2,781 billionaires, more than ever before. at the top, for the second year running, the lvmh boss bernard arnault, who oversees the luxury french brand louis vuitton. his net worth's understood to have grown 10% to $233 billion. also topping the list elon musk, jeff bezos, mark zuckerberg and bill gates. let's get more from chase peterson withorn, who oversaw the compliation of the list. it's a banner year for billionaires. as you said, there's more than ever and they're richer than ever — worth $14.2 trillion, which is $2 trillion more than last year. so, some of the major trends are stock markets around the world in a lot of the world are up. and these people, by and large, are some of the biggest beneficiaries of the stock market because they own large shares in publicly traded companies around the world.

and so, you know, as markets are up, these billionaires are up. and you can see that especially in technology, tech stocks are going through the roof. there's a tonne of enthusiasm for al. and so we've seen a lot of new billionaires come into the ranks this year who have ai companies or who are using ai in their business. but it's also really boosted the values of a lot of, i guess, traditional tech billionaires, people like mark zuckerberg as well. so, banner yearfor billionaires, especially for anybody who has anything to do with al. these which lists are always fascinating. —— rich. do you celebrate it, rina, or do you think the wealth seems difficult to square?

ido find i do find these particularly outdated. now we just celebrate that they're there. where do we —— rarely do we see how they build where they got two and essentially what is lost in translation is the ins and outs. that's where i think young people everywhere to stand to gain from. when we just celebrate getting to a certain status, we forget along the way it is also important. what i want to hear more of is these journeys of people in the thick of making it somewhere that matters, impact that's notjust making it somewhere that matters, impact that's not just financial. especially as the world is having a reckoning with what it even needs to be a billionaire, what it means to accumulate great wealth and what beings have the impact in 1's life. i thinkjens he is really redefining

that —— ge z. the culture has changed, there's no longer a sort of a live to work mentality. there's a working to live mentality that is also there. you see in different parts of the world that both of those mentalities are getting flipped on their heads, depending on where in the human spirit you're in. i think conversations about one's tourney is far greater than the monetary value of what one has. we have seen a growing trend, paul, of the very wealthy giving away their money whilst they're alive. not wanting to leave too much to the next generation. there is that sort of social conversation about what you do with this level of wealth. let's be honest, that's only a fraction — let's be honest, that's only a fraction of— let's be honest, that's only a fraction of the billionaires that actually— fraction of the billionaires that actually do those charitable works.

you're watching the context of. here in england, working parents can now receive more government—funded

care for their children. up until the end of march, there were 30 hours per week a funded childcare available for three and four—year—olds. now there'll be 15 hours per week for two—year—olds during school term time. the government says it will benefit more than 150,000 children. here's prime minister rishi sunak. making sure there are more place and staff available - and the future looks - bright, and this is a really positive intervention, _ when fully worth out, around £7,000 worth of support. but many in the industry are warning that the funding simply isn't enough. here's what one parent told us about how difficult it has been to find a place for her daughter. i put her down on three waiting lists because they all have massive waiting lists now, because there's not enough nurseries for the hours that are funded. so, yeah, it will help if i can get her in somewhere! when rishi sunak�*s advisers suggested he go to teesside today, to publicise his government's policy on childcare, and unveiling the childcare policy changes but while he was there, he was also quizzed

on when the next general election may be. and he's come in for some criticism after he burst out laughing and more than once when the question was put to him on bbc tees local radio. here's a little of that exchange. can i just say that when we found out that you would be joining us on the breakfast show this morning, we did post about this on social media. lots of people got in touch with a whole range of questions, but the overwhelming one was, when will there be a general election? sunak laughs well, i've answer that question many times in the last few weeks. so, when will be the general election? can you give us a date on bbc radio tees this morning, prime minister? no! no, unfortunately not, but most importantly... why not? why is that funny? sorry, why are you laughing about it? the important thing... because there's a way in which we announce general elections and it would be done in a formal and official way. a p pa re ntly apparently sounding a little bit caught out by that question. by that question. paul, you followed politics for a

long time and you also tried to get involved yourself for the labour party. what do you make of his performance on that question today? i think it laid bare yet again one of those rishi sunak verbal tics when he laughs whenever he doesn't want to answer a question. you got so wrapped up about how funny it was that a local radio station would want to know the date of the general election, he was so hilarious —— thought it was so clearly or got carried away. i think he ignored what is a wider movement. the british public are sick of this and they would really like to have a general election. the prime minister last year did something similar when he was asked directly what is the election going to be. he said the british public... "when i go around the country, the people don't want one." well, all the polls suggest they do. i think this is almost his escape route from this question, to laugh it off, but it's not a great look. , ., , , laugh it off, but it's not a great look. , ., , ., , .,

forest began the game only above the dotted line on goal goal in as many games with less than 20 minutes gone. fulham swiftly made three substitutions, to no avail as morgan gibbs white scored to put his side 3—0 up at the break. fulham pulled one backjust after the break, but it finished three one. everton salvaged a precious point with a 1—1 draw at newcastle. newcastle started confidently after their thrilling 4—3 win over west ham at the weekend and took the lead in the 15 minute through alexander isak. but everton were awarded a late penalty when paul dummett appeared to wrestle ashley young to the ground. england striker calvert lewin held his nerve from the spot to score his first goal in 2a games in all competitions and end a goalless run that had stretched back to october.

elsewhere tonight, burnley let slip a lead to draw 1—1 at home to wolves while bournemouth saw off crystal palace and tottenham chasing down fourth—placed aston villa are level at 1—1 with west ham at the london stadium as the match edges towards a conclusion. so with three of the bottom five in action what has that done so, with three of the bottom five in action, what has that done in the battle to avoid relegation? forest edge three points clear of luton, who are at arsenal tomorrow, while everton stayjust ahead of forest thanks to that calvert lewin penalty and burnely remain in deep trouble despite picking up a point against wolves. adam peaty won tonight's 100 metres breastroke final on the first day of the aquatics gb swimming championships in london. it means he's qualified for this summer's olympics in paris. peaty left the others trailing in his wake to come home in under 58 seconds, the fastest time this year. james wilby was second,

with archy goodburn third. peaty is aiming to win a third successive breastroke gold medal at the forthcoming games in paris. he won bronze at the world championships in february as he makes his comeback following a mental health break last year. this morning, i was like, i'm so grateful that i'm back here. and i didn't give up. i think that's a message to a lot of young people in the crowd. i haven't had a pb in five years. but it's the hope every day and it's a great race, but we're coming back and i'm happy with that. england all rounder ben stokes has asked to not be considered for selection for this summer's t20 world cup to focus on his fitness. stokes says he wants to use the break to ensure he can be "the all rounder i want to be" across all formats. he had knee surgery over the winter and bowled just five overs during the recent five test series in india.

the 32—year—old has already opted out of the indian premier league, which began last month. here's the reaction of the england and wales cricket board ceo, richard gould. you fully understand the journey that he's — you fully understand the journey that he's been on. he's someone that put his— that he's been on. he's someone that put his irody— that he's been on. he's someone that put his body on the line literally for years — put his body on the line literally for years for england. i think particularly, with at the knee operation that he had just before christmas, and the promising rehabilitation that he's had since, this is— rehabilitation that he's had since, this is really good news for us and the fact— this is really good news for us and the fact that now he knows that he can get _ the fact that now he knows that he can get better and stronger. that's great _ can get better and stronger. that's great for— can get better and stronger. that's great for us — can get better and stronger. that's great for us for the next two, three. — great for us for the next two, three, four, years however long. england prop vickii cornborough has announced her immediate retirement from international rugby, saying she is "not ready" to balance both motherhood and playing for the red roses. the 34—year—old won 75 caps for the red roses and reached two world cup finals. she has been on maternity leave from england after having twins last summer.

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 weatherfronts 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 southeast, 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 northeasterly 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. 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.
