new north—eastern america, hitting new york and neighbouring newjersey. quakes are relatively rare in new york and within moments that work multiple reports of buildings swaying, but none so far of any major damage. sexism in schools — teachers warn it's being driven by extreme content on mobile phones. there is a great pressure to conform to a certain standard of, for example, outfit or body type. the access is all around them and it's 24/7. they have not got the ability to switch off. and, the mystery of the missing dog from california, that nine months later ended up thousands of miles away, in michigan. and on bbc london, warnings of "major disruption" for rail passengers over the next five days as train drivers stage another round of strikes over pay and conditions.

hello. the foreign secretary, lord cameron, says he's carefully reviewing the initial findings of the israeli military investigation into how its forces killed seven aid workers in gaza on monday. three of the dead were british nationals. the israeli defence force inquiry found there'd been a catalogue of errors leading up to the air strikes on the aid convoy, with the idf saying the deaths were "a grave mistake" and a serious violation of procedure. several senior officers have now been dismissed. the people who died were working for the charity world central kitchen, which has called for an independent inquiry, and there's been worldwide condemnation of the killings. israel has now opened up more aid routes, in response to the criticism. in a moment, we'll take look at the dire humanitarian situation in gaza, where more than 33,000

people have died in the last six months, according to the hamas—controlled health ministry. but first, here's lucy williamson injerusalem. israel says hamas gunmen often pose as aid workers. not this time. its army today said the killing of seven aid workers in air strikes this week was a grave mistake. due to mistaken identification, errors in decision—making, and a serious violation of army procedures. the convoy, belonging to the charity world central kitchen, was struck in central gaza late on monday night. survivors running between the remaining vehicles before being hit again, and then again. the army said its forces had mistaken the bag one passenger was carrying for a gun, after spotting gunmen at the warehouse earlier. there was a visual confirmation of a gunman first of all on one

of the trucks, which then conducted shooting from other trucks and when they indeed reached the hangers, there were more gunmen identified on the location and it led, basically, to the entire miscalculation, misidentification and the failure of what should have happened. israel's army says the aid was picked up by a lorry at 10pm. the armed figure was then spotted firing from one of the trucks before the convoy moved on with other vehicles to an inland warehouse where drone footage showed more gunmen getting out of one car. that vehicle later moved north to another warehouse, while the three cars from world central kitchen turned back to the coast, where they were hit in separate air strikes minutes apart. the army has fired two senior officers who approved the strikes but world central kitchen has called for an independent inquiry, saying the idf cannot credibly

investigate its own failure, and that systemic change was needed. 0ther aid agencies say this was not a one—off mistake. this is notjust an incident, this is a series, a pattern of incidents that have been going on for months and months now. we are now up to the stage of having 200 humanitarian workers killed. we are operating in an environment of complete impunity. it is a deliberate choice to allow these attacks to continue to happen. 0ne former major general pointed out that israeli forces have also killed their own compatriots in gaza. it was a huge mistake. unfortunately, many, many other mistakes were made. for instance, israel killed three israeli hostages that managed to release themselves and nevertheless, they were killed by israeli soldiers and of course no one believed that we killed them deliberately. the difficulties of getting aid

to gaza was already deepening rifts with israel's allies. the killing of british and american nationals has shifted the debate. the port of ashdod is lesser than 30 miles from gaza but it has remained closed for the past six months. now this port and the nearby erez crossing point have been prised open by a stinging us demand that israel find new routes to get safely into northern gaza, or risk losing american support. israel says its war is with hamas, not gaza's civilians, that it is fighting one and feeding the other. but aid workers accuse israel of seeing them as targets, and aid as a weapon of war. lucy williamson, bbc news, ashdod. this weekend marks six months since the october 7th attack on israel by hamas, in which around 1,200 people were killed and 253 were taken hostage.

since then, more than 33,000 people have been killed in gaza, according to the hamas—run health ministry. the united nations says famine is imminent, with more than i million people already facing what the un describes as "catastrophic hunger," with israel coming under growing scrutiny over its military operations. both the uk and us have ordered more steps must be taken to address civilian harm in gaza. humanitarian organisations have been saying for months that getting aid into the territory is extremely difficult, and have been relying on air—drops. israel says it will shortly open two routes into gaza for aid deliveries, but will that be enough to prevent starvation? jeremy bowen is in jerusalem for us now. israel says it will now be opening a crossing for aid, following international condemnation over the attack on the convoy. some are wondering why it's taken the deaths

workers for that to happen? given the dire humanitarian situation in gaza. i given the dire humanitarian situation in gaza.— given the dire humanitarian situation in gaza. i think it is a fair point _ situation in gaza. i think it is a fair point and _ situation in gaza. i think it is a fair point and a _ situation in gaza. i think it is a fair point and a question - situation in gaza. i think it is a fair point and a question of. situation in gaza. i think it is a j fair point and a question ofjoe fair point and a question ofjoe biden and also britain, australia and other very staunch western allies of israel, if you like, catching up with the kinds of things that leaders all round the world have been saying almost since the outset of the war six months ago. i think this is clearly a tipping point for president biden. whether he said to mr netanyahu last night, whatever he said, it certainly got through, probably forthe whatever he said, it certainly got through, probably for the first time since the war started and perhaps he said he would attach conditions to the use of american weapons in gaza which up to now is something he has visited despite quite a bit of pressure. whether or not this is a turning point in the entire war is another matter. i think it is

possible to measure that. you can measure it by the numbers of palestinians who die as a result of military action, and whether or not palestinians will continue to starve, died from acute malnutrition, and whether that famine, which is already gripping parts of the gaza strip, will be staved off in some way because at this point it is not simply a question of bringing in food, cans of tuna or something like that, people who are sick from my nutrition need medical care as well. so there is an enormous amount that needs to be done and all that can be measured. so i think the americans are looking closely at that and there was one more potential measure as well, about whether or not the war is turning in some way now. and thatis war is turning in some way now. and that is whether or not mr netanyahu goes ahead with that ground assault on rafah which he keeps talking about, and if he does that, without the approval of the americans, who say that, as things are right now,

in terms of protection of civilians, it should absolutely not go ahead. 0k, jeremy bowen, thank you for that, live injerusalem. some conservatives have been rallying around a tory mp who's apologised after admitting he gave other mps' personal phone numbers to a man on a dating app. william wragg told the times newspaper he was sorry for the "hurt" he'd caused, but he'd been "scared" because the individual had compromising information on him. helen catt has that story. in westminster, william wragg is a familiarface. a senior conservative mp, he chairs a committee which scrutinises the government. the intimidation of a member of parliament is a serious matter. this was him criticising some in his party a couple of years ago. today, he's the one in the spotlight after admitting to the times that he had passed on colleagues' numbers to a man on a dating app after sending him intimate pictures of himself. mr wragg told the paper

he was scared the individual had compromising material on him and he was mortified and sorry. the mp involved has given a courageous and fulsome apology. but the lesson here for all mps is that they need to be very careful about cyber security. mr wragg's admission came after a number of men in westminster were sent unsolicited messages by a person claiming to be someone they'd met before. in some cases the messenger, variously using the names �*abi' or �*charlie', quickly turned to making flirtatious comments and in at least one case, sent an explicit picture. in positions of responsibility we always have to think about our actions. but there are also malevolent players out there who are trying to influence politics. it's not only mps who have been affected, but also some staff and politicaljournalists. this man, who works for an mp, got an unexpected message from �*abi' back in october. "0h, hey," she said, "long time no speak, but i think

i saw you from a distance yesterday, how are you?" the staffer replies once to ask, "who is this?" but on being told its �*abi' and she'd met him on a campaign, he stops replying. abi, though, keeps messaging, three more times on different days. what felt off about it to you? it was still a message out of the blue and they used a name i didn't recognise and it felt quite blunt. but i did check with the colleague in case there had been a name i'd just forgotten and i was being rude. william wragg, conservative mp, has come forward and said he gave out some numbers, but is he someone you know, do you think he is conceivably someone who could have had your number to pass on? that's why i was slightly surprised and why i think there are more questions. i don't think i've ever met him or been in the same room as him. i'd be very surprised if he had my number. for now, it's not known whether this is the fallout from an individual lapse ofjudgment or a malicious attempt to gain influence behind these walls. mps have been warned against speculating as police

and parliamentary authorities investigate. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. a magnitude 4.7 earthquake has been felt across new york and the surrounding area. the epicentre was near lebanon in newjersey, about a0 miles west of new york city. john sudworth is in new york — what's the latest? quakes are relatively rare in new york but not unheard of. there was a small one that some residents felt as recently as january. but this one was much larger, 4.8 in magnitude and as you said, it was centred in a way out in the state of newjersey and big enough that, within moments, residents here were lighting up social media with their own accounts of buildings swaying and apartments rattling. at the united nations security council in midtown manhattan a few miles away from

where i am now, it was abruptly halted momentarily mid—session as a result of the shaking. but i think it is fair to say that the media excitement with local networks and news sites switching to the story very quickly has been fuelled more by the fact that it is an unusual event than by the impact. there are no reports of any serious damage or injuries and the authorities are saying that although people need to watch out for aftershocks which may continue over the next day or so, there is really no need to panic. the only disruption has been precautionary as the authorities have been checking road tunnels and briefly airport runways to make sure there is no damage. qm. briefly airport runways to make sure there is no damage.— briefly airport runways to make sure there is no damage. 0k, john, thank ou for there is no damage. 0k, john, thank you for that. — there is no damage. 0k, john, thank you for that, john _ there is no damage. 0k, john, thank you for that, john sudworth - there is no damage. 0k, john, thank you for that, john sudworth lived - there is no damage. 0k, john, thank you for that, john sudworth lived in i you for that, john sudworth lived in new york city. sexism in schools is increasing because of harmful content on children's phones, according to the leader of britain's biggest education union. daniel kebede of the national education union says boys are watching "aggressive and violent pornography," which "completely distorts their view of women". he's calling for action

from the government and the tech companies. here's bra nwen jeffreys. phones connect every part of their life. there's lots more hate online. there are way more insecurities online. a love and sometimes hate relationship with being online. there are risks but some know how to look out for themselves. i know on tiktok you can press the not interested button which will give you, like, the option to kind ofjust get rid of the video and other related content. you also have the report button and block button on most platforms as well. you can see a lot of accidents, fatal accidents, that they show on screen. being online isn't all bad. 81% of children said it helped learning. 66% said social media helped them feel closer to friends. but 29% had experienced someone being nasty to them online. this isn't about smartphones, which teenagers can use

to learn and to connect with each other socially. it's more about harmful content which they can access online, which is changing attitudes towards girls and women particularly. teachers are campaigning to say sexist behaviour in schools is not ok. they told us what they see and hear — sexist behaviour, derogatory language. i've heard girls called sluts and slags and whores. and spoken about in real vile ways and notjust students as well, staff. like, comments being made about the appearance of female members of staff. i had one young man, i will put it politely, he wanted to have sex with me. i have heard students in year eight, who are between the ages of 12 - and 13, talking about the different plastic surgeries _ that they plan to have. lastjuly in leeds today, parents were fearful for young teenagers online.

in leeds today, pa last july rents were fearful for young teenagers online. children at that age don't have the capacity to understand the full implications of what is happening, if they give details out, they give data out, and they are too naive almost. just even being made to feel uncomfortable, or potentially lured into a dangerous situation with somebody. my concerns, really, _ are being bullied online and then coming across people that they don't know. j but a new law is meant to enforce minimum age restrictions, with big fines for companies found to be failing. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. our top story this evening. israel sacks senior military leaders, admitting "a grave mistake" over the attack on a convoy in gaza that killed seven aid workers. and coming up, how this wacky flat decorated by its tenant now has listed status. and on bbc london...

quiet stations and inconvenience. i think we've not been notified enough about it. we have just come in a taxi and the taxi driver didn't even mention it. so itsjust missed our day up completely. think about all the businesses that don't operate because of this, i'm having to work but i'll have a quiet day because of all of this. the cars are running, the trains are not. in tamworth, carl, who doesn't drive, took this video of his deserted local station. the lack of trains today means a rare visit from his daughter who lives with her mum in wales had to be cut short. it had a huge impact, as i said, i don't see her very often, once every holiday. i really look forward to having the time with her and then it is very quiet when she's gone home. some families on easter holiday outings to the harry body studios near watford had altered their plans to get their. we got up very early to make sure we made it on time. so there are some trends but not as many?

we should have been able to get a direct line but we had to catch four trains. train operators in different areas of the country are affected by strike action today, tomorrow and on monday. they will run a limited service or nothing at all on strike days. an end to this dispute still feels far away. it has not moved since aslef rejected the latest offer nearly a year ago which involved pay rises of 4% two years in a row. but the union argued it asked for too many concessions on terms and conditions. the department for transport said that offer remained on the table and would take drivers�* average salaries to £65,000. they and the train companies group have repeatedly said union members should get a vote on it. aslef disagrees so we are likely to see more strikes down the line. katy austin, bbc news. senior doctors in england have ended their pay dispute. consultants belonging to two major trade unions have backed a fresh deal with the government, which means some will receive a pay increase of nearly 20%

for the financial year 2023—24. hugh pym is here. what was the deal? what about junior doctors. the consultants what aboutjunior doctors. the consultants have ended their year—long dispute in england by accepting this deal by a large majority. year—long dispute in england by accepting this deal by a large majority. the year—long dispute in england by accepting this deal by a large majority. the original year—long dispute in england by accepting this deal by a large majority. the original 6% year—long dispute in england by accepting this deal by a large majority. the original 6% pay year—long dispute in england by accepting this deal by a large majority. the original 6% pay award last year was deemed not enough by the british medical association and the other main union involved, so the nine days of strikes which followed that and a new offer was made and rejected and now this one, which basically adds between three and 30% to the original 6%, depending on seniority. it is a fair dealfor depending on seniority. it is a fair deal for consultants, patients and for taxpayers. the bma view is they welcome the offer and they say importantly the doctors' pay review process will now be modernised to allow a much wider range of factors to be considered next time. junior doctors in england, meanwhile, have

a mandate for further strike action and their dispute is not over. in wales and northern ireland consultants are still in dispute with governments there, in fact consultants in wales are planning strike action later this month. millions of workers will receive a national insurance cut, with the new tax year beginning tomorrow. around 27 million people will benefit, but for many the cost of living will still bite. marc ashdown is here with more. yes, national insurance payments are deducted from your salary to help pay for pensions and services like schools and hospitals. from tomorrow, the rate is being cut from 10% down to 8%. and that follows a 2% cut back in january as well. so add both those cuts up and it means a bit more money in your pocket. how much depends on how much you earn. a full—time worker on the national living wage of £22,000 a year, will keep £377 more of their salary compared to a year ago. someone earning £35,000 a year — that's the uk average —

will keep nearly £900 a year more. and for someone earning £50,000, they'll keep around £1,500 more of their salary every year. but other tax policies matter too. these are the levels at which you start paying tax and move into the higher rates. they used to go up every year to reflect rising prices, inflation. but in 2021 the government froze these thresholds, until at least 2028. it means every year more people pay more tax and some start paying it for the first time, including some pensioners. so on balance, some workers will actually take home less money now than they did a year ago. the state pension is increasing, so are benefits for millions of people. but lots of household bills are also going up although energy costs are finally getting a bit cheaper. so all this depends on your personal circumstances. there's a handy calculator on the bbc website — you can put in your salary details and see how it might affect you.

let's take a look at some of the day's other top stories. greater manchester police say they're searching for more body parts after discovering a torso wrapped in plastic in a nature reserve in salford. a murder investigation has begun, but police say they don't know the identity of the person or whether they're male or female. the parent company of the uk's largest water provider, thames water, says it's defaulted on its debt after missing an interest payment due on tuesday. kemble water has asked creditors to take no action while it explores more options. the development does not immediately affect thames water's 16 million customers. the shorts worn by the late, great muhammad ali in his 1975 fight with joe frazier, which became known as the thriller in manilla, are up for auction in new york. bidding has already topped the equivilent of over £3 million. the auction ends next week.

a rented flat in birkenhead on the wirral transformed into a fantasy world by its artistic tenant has been given grade ii listed status after a campaign to save it. the unique work by ron gittins was only discovered after his death five years ago. the flat is the first example of what's called 0utsider art, which is work created by someone with no conventional training, to be nationally listed. here'sjudith moritz. welcome to number 8 silverdale road. seemingly unremarkable, perhaps in need of a lick of paint — at least from the outside. because all the decorating effort here has gone into the interior design, frescoes, freezes and fireplaces that i guarantee you won't have seen the likes of before. oh, wow! oh, my gosh. what's this? so this is ron's lion fireplace.

don't you have one? laughter. it's not likely anyone else has a flat like this, the former home of ron gittins. he lived here for 30 years but was so private he had few visitors. it was only after he died that the doors were opened. alison bailey smith was his neighbour. this was an alternative way of life? of course, it was his way of life. wow! and it's his house. ron was inspired by classical civilisation and ancient history, no magnolia walls for him. and he lived amongst the art he created, covering every surface in his rented flat, apart from, ironically, the kitchen sink. it's quite brave, you know, to do this. most people would worry about making a little hole, but ron created this. as far as you know, the landlord was fine with him turning the fireplace into a lion? yeah, they would have had concerns. he was lighting fires inside the... oh, yes, he was. ..inside the mouth? he was. amazing.

the flat is celebrated as a rare example of what's known as outsider art, work made by someone without formal training for their own pleasure. it's now been preserved and it's been given listed status. people think about listed buildings they more likely think about stately homes. why have you gone for this place? it's a markerjust to show the world how significant this place is. it is highlighting the importance of ron's place nationally and internationally, because it's really amongst the best examples of visionary environments and outsider art around the world. ron's was an unconventional life and his legacy is the proof that there are plenty of other places to display art than on the walls of a gallery. judith moritz, bbc news, birkenhead. a dog missing in california, has finally been reunited with its owners, after turning up almost nine months later, and more than 2,000 miles away,

routine with two other divers. he landed painfully on his back and bottom, then crashed into the water at the inauguration of the new aquatics centre, for the 2024 paris 0lympics. he later laughed off the slip. time for a look at the weather, here's ben. a strange field to the weather this weekend. we will have a very strong winds, gales in the north and west, but it is also going to feel very warm because of storm kathleen. let me show you how it has been developing over the last 24 hours. this area of cloud on the satellite picture being energised by a powerfuljet picture being energised by a powerful jet stream picture being energised by a powerfuljet stream high up in the atmosphere and it has spun up into this beautiful coral of cloud. when we see a storm developing like that, we see a storm developing like that, we know it means business. this was named by the irish weather service because that is where we will have the strongest winds. there will be gales in western parts of the uk,

but look at the temperatures, 17 in scotland and 22 in eastern england. it will become increasingly wild tonight, but with that more rain driving its way northwards and eastwards. have a look at these temperatures by the end of the night, eight to 15 degrees. four or 5 degrees would be typical for an april night. warm to start tomorrow morning and drain clearing the north of scotland and then it is sunshine and blustery showers. the winds are strongest out . strongest out towards the west, gusts of 50 to 70 miles an hour. likely to see disruption and rough seas as well, but the afternoon temperatures, 17 in the north of scotland and 23 in eastern england. strong winds and it will feel strange at there. as we go through saturday night into sunday, storm system is still close by, so another windy day on sunday. gales in the north—west of scotland. it is our

sunshine and showers day.
