World central kitchen released these pictures of the seven aid workers killed when a Convoy Carrying Staff from the charity was hit on monday. Three british men john chapman, James Henderson and james kirby were among them. They were working as security advisers. Israel said the strike was unintended and promised to investigate. The family Ofjames Kirby one of the three british nationals killed in the strike have released a statement. They said they were heartbroken and that. Weve also heard from the family ofjohn chapman. They said. The bbc has been hearing from james kirbys cousin adam mcguire. He was completely selfless, which explains why he went to gaza. His experiences in the british army when he served in bosnia and afghanistan, he served in bosnia and afghanistan, he knew the dangers, he was no fool. And people were telling him, this could be very dangerous for you. But he knew the dangers. He was selfless in that regard and he jUst Wanted To Help people. In that regard and he Ust Wanted To Help people. In that regard and he Ust Wanted To Hel eole. �. ,. ,. , help people. Adam mcguire also told us that he wasnt help people.

Adam mcguire also told us that he wasnt happy with the us that he wasnt happy with the israeli response. I us that he wasnt happy with the israeli response. Israeli response. I am a little bit anl israeli response. I am a little bit am in israeli response. I am a little bit angry in the israeli response. I am a little bit angry in the response israeli response. I am a little bit angry in the response from israeli response. I am a little bit angry in the response from the l angry in the response from the israeli prime minister. In what he said. This isnt what happens in war. Humanitarian people that are out there trying to do good for people dont get killed in this way. They are heroes, all seven of them. We are thinking of the other families at this time as well. But yeah, we are a little bit. Unhappy with the response from israel, if i am totally honest. What i will say is the British Government have been good and the family would also like to say, give thanks to all the other nations that have offered their condolences. And on the back of that, we hope that there is a possible change from all of this, that age can get into the most desperate people. And i think that, ifjames and the desperate people. And i think that, if james and the other guys have brought that about, then that would be some kind of solace in that. James kirbys cousin, adam mcguire, speaking to bbc news there. A former head of the Foreign Office here in london lord ricketts has told the bbc the uk should stop selling arms to israel. I think theres abundant evidence now that israel hasnt been taking enough care to fulfill its obligations on the safety of civilians. And a country that gets arms from the uk has to comply with International Humanitarian law, thats a condition of the arms export license. So, honestly, i think the time has come to send that signal. It wont change the course of the war, it would be a powerful political message and it mightjust stimulate debate in the us as well which would be the real game changer, if The Americans began to think about putting limits, restrictions, on the use of american weapons in israel. That message was echoed by the Liberal Democrat leader, ed davey. Now is the time to end british exports of arms to israel. It does look like israel has broken humanitarian law and we really shouldnt be exporting arms to any country that breaks International Humanitarian law. The Liberal Democrats have been calling for a long time for immediate, bilateral ceasefire. The israelis have not listened to International Pressure on that and so i think that, by ending british arms exports to israel, it will send a very, very powerful signal, including not just to israel, but to america. So how could this affect aid deliveries inside gaza . Matthew harding is a Non Executive Director for solace global, the firm whod employed the three uk aid workers killed in the strikes. Hes told the bbc that he expects similar organisations to start rethinking their work in the region. I imagine that all Aid Organisations will be looking very closely at what happened and those who are willing to continue to operate in this way will be making sure they put as many Risk Control Measures in place as possible to minimise risk, but, yes, they will all be asking themselves that question and there will be different responses from different organisations, id imagine. 0ne one of those organisations is unrwa, the un relief and works agency. Sam roseis the un relief and works agency. Sam rose is the director of planning there and he told me more about how Aid Operators like aid workers operate in wartime. There is a very well developed, a very involved process of Coordinating Aid to get it into gaza. In many ways, this predates it, the conflict, or a system of very harsh controls on the aid going in predates it, the conflict, and they have been stepped up massively since the 7th of october, both in terms of getting the aid into gaza, the checks that have to take place, the unloading, the reloading of aid shipments, the often rejection of entire trucks based on certain items being classified as rejected and non humanitarian. And then, once aid is inside the rafah crossing, a very involved, very detailed process of distributing that aid around gaza, in which, depending on where that aid is directed towards, the israeli authorities are either notified or in more sensitive areas, where active conflict or the Security Situation is riskier, there is a very active process of coordination that takes place over two or three days and is dependent on israels approval for that mission to go ahead. Lets ta ke lets take you to taiwan now. Taiwan has been hit by its biggest earthquake in 25 years. The government says at least nine people died and more than 800 were injured, after an offshore earthquake struck the east coast of the island. The quake was at a magnitude of 7. 4. The deaths all occured in Hualien County a mountainous region near the epicentre with many killed by falling boulders. We can take you live there at the moment because Search And Rescue operations moment because Search And Rescue oheration. , way right in the middle of hualien. You can see here rescue workers at the scene, heavy Lifting Equipment there as well because some buildings have come down. This is a remote, quite mountainous region of taiwan and there is damage that has been done to this area that will take weeks to repair, including some damaged infrastructure as well and two rail lines. But there were tremors felt right across taiwan, Evenin Tremors felt right across taiwan, even in taipei, and we have seen lots of videos that show building shaking violently, there have been aftershocks as well, about 100 of those and it has been really scary for people who live in taiwan. Lets bring you the latest from there with Rupert Wingfield hayes. This is the moment the quake struck a taipei tv station the middle of their morning news. The shaking was intense and prolonged. Buildings across the city swayed violently. Cupboards were emptied, furniture toppled. This construction site, this big building behind me here under construction, a massive piece of either Construction Equipment or steel came off the top of this building this morning during the quake, crashed into the building beside it and then crashed down into the alleyway behind me, where you can see some workmen 110w. Theyve closed off that road. Remarkably, no one was injured, no one was on the street there at the time. No one in the taiwanese capital has experienced anything like this in a quarter of a century. Many young people have neverfelt shaking on this scale. Translation an earthquake hasnt happened in a long time, so it felt really terrifying. 0n the east coast, in the city of hualien, the shaking was much stronger and the damage much more severe. People on their way to work watched in fear and awe as a partially collapsed building was left leaning at a precarious angle across this intersection. Translation whenever our team move, the building becomes unstable and they have to find something to hold onto to ensure their safety before pulling people out. But it is the landslides that have unleashed the greatest terror. The east coast of taiwan is a rugged landscape of high mountains and deep valleys. The quake triggered hundreds of landslides that came roaring down into the valleys below. This is where most of the more than 700 injuries must have happened. People would have had little warning and nowhere to escape. Taiwan has done much to strengthen its buildings and infrastructure since another huge quake killed more than 2,000 people back in 1999. This time, few buildings have been brought down and the death toll is, so far, mercifully small. But there is little that can be done to stop a mountain falling into the valley below. Rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, in taipei. So Rescue Efforts continue, including for dozens of people who are trapped in road tunnels after the quake struck. We can show this image that shows the entrance to one of them. On the left is a picture taken last year and on the right, this is what the tunnel looks like today. 60 people are believed to be trapped inside one of the tunnels, including four mini buses full of hotel staff. They appear right now to be unreachable by phone. It is late in the evening in taiwan at the moment, but we are few aftershocks in the night, but those Rescue Efforts continue and we will keep you you up to date with those. Earlier, i heard from Gregor Stuart hunter, whos in taipei. He told me about his experience of the earthquake this morning. It was the feeling of being lifted up by someone and shaken. And then, even once the initial shock had died down, the rest of the morning was spent with a series of aftershocks in very quick succession, some as close as five minutes apart. When i checked the news and realised that the epicentre of what had felt like a very powerful quake was actually in hualien, my jaw hit the floor. I instantly knew this was going to be a really big quake and it seems like that is how it was. The quake is huge, the biggest in 25 years. We have hundreds of people injured, as well as Hearing Reports of many trapped. Not so many deaths yet and lets hope that figure doesnt go up. What are you hearing in terms of reports of damage, particularly to infrastructure . I think the infrastructure has been one of the most obvious ways the damage has shown up. Links into hualien itself have been damaged quite severely, some of the Railway Network is down, some of the tunnels have collapsed, which means getting in and out has become quite difficult unless you are going by air or sea. The damage extends beyond hualien. In taipei itself there was the suspension of the city Subway Services in the morning and the high speed Rail Operator announced delays up and down the line which runs down the opposite coast of the island. So, quite severe delays to infrastructure. Stay with us Around The World and across the uk, this is bbc news. Nato Foreign Ministers are meeting in brussels to mark the 75th Anniversary of the signing of the north atlantic treaty. Todays meeting will debate a multi year commitment to help ukraine defend itself against russia and is considering the setting up of a multi billion dollar fund for the country. Thats being largely seen as a move to insulate nato from a possible donald Trump Presidency. The uks foreign minister lord David Cameron is at the meeting, where he urged allies to continue their support of ukraine. It is important we keep a focus on ukraine and thats why im here at the nato meetings for the next two days. Its absolutely vital that britain and other countries in this alliance get the weapons, get the ammunition and get the support to ukraine that they need. It is vital for us that ukraine wins and putin loses. Its notjust an investment in their defence and their security, its an investment in our defence and our security. We will be safer in britain if we ensure the right outcome of this conflict, and its vital we talk about that over the two coming days. Its also important that we commemorate the 75th Anniversary of this alliance, the most successful defensive alliance in history, and nato is a strong and nato is strong and is getting stronger. Today, we will be having the first time a Swedish Foreign minister has attended this meeting as a full member of nato. And with sweden and finland joining, nato has become stronger. The most important thing we can do to make sure this alliance continues to grow and continues to strengthen is to ensure that we all spend over 2 of our gdp on defence. Many more countries are now doing that, but we need every country to do that. Frankly, thats the best thing we can do to make sure the Nato Summit In Washington this summer is a success and its also the best way to prepare for the american elections in the autumn, whatever that outcome may be. I spoke earlier with sir richard shirreff, former deputy Supreme Allied Commander in europe, on what nato can do to strengthen ukraines defence against russia. And also to increase the supply of ammunition. This requires a clear nato strategy, which of course, has got to be supported by all 32 member states, which lays out a pathway to a vision which nato needs to set. In my view, that vision should be a europe whole, free, with ukraine as a nato member. Because thats the only way that the transatlantic region is going to remain safe from the threat of a resurgent russia. For that to happen, that needs clarity, leadership and the buy in of all 32 member states. But most important, most intersting here, most interesting here, its effectively nato taking the lead for the provision of lethal aid to ukraine, which has not yet happened. It has very much been in the american lead up to now, this is, i think, nato recognising the real threat of a Trump Presidency to nato and taking the necessary steps to ensure that ukraine gets what it needs, because its not getting what it needs right now. More specifically, could that involve moving the Ukraine Defence contact group, set up by The Americans, to be under the umbrella of nato . I think it does. Exactly that. As i say, this is nato taking the lead with a strategy to bring nato. To ensure that europe is safe, that ukraine is part of nato and that ukraine gets the means it needs in order to achieve the conditions for ukrainian membership, which ultimately means defeat of russia, and were a long way short of that. Police in finland said the suspect on Tuesdays School shooting said he was bullied. This is bigger than in their investigations. One child was killed and two others seriously injured at the school outside the capital, helsinki. The suspect was the same age as the victims and he used a handgun belonging to a close relative. To hollywood next. American Actress Kirsten Dunst says her new film about a civil war in present day america is a warning about what could happen. The film, called civil war, features a president some have compared to donald trump. Its written and directed by alex garland, whos behind Dystopian Hits such as 28 days later. Charlotte gallagher has been talking to kirsten and alex about the film, and about the hollywood gender pay gap. An america divided. Engulfed by civil war. Citizens of america. Led by a president who is refusing to leave the white house. Kirsten dunst Plays A War Photographer traumatised by her work. I think the movie is very much so a warning, and i think it leaves people with so much to think about, and ifeel like if youre in the theatre and you really take it in, i think its a very moving piece about journalists, and you dont really get that look inside in the way that alex filmed this movie, and kind of felt very realistic while watching the film. Every time i survived a war zone, i thought i was sending a warning home. Dont do this. But here we are. The film is set in america, but really this film is about two things. Its aboutjournalists, and its about polarisation. Populist politics and polarisation, which leads to extremism and extremist thinking, and that is happening in america, but its happening here in this country, and has been happening here for a long time, and its happening across europe. I could list the countries, or you could list the countries, where that would be true. He saved my life twice, and ive never even seen his face. Kirsten has been acting since she was a child, and as a teenager starred in some of the biggest films of the era. She had stardom, but she didnt have pay equality. I definitely grew up in a time with major pay disparity between the lead actor and myself, even though i had been in bring it on and he hadnt. And did you feel in that time you were in a position that you couldnt say, hang on, why is this person being paid more than me . I was very young and just felt like the time. What do you do . Yes. I was very young and just felt like the time. What do you do . Yes, it ust the time. What do you do . Yes, it just wasnt the time. What do you do . Yes, it just wasnt in the time. What do you do .

Le wasnt welcomed by the critics. The peeple who wasnt welcomed by the critics. Tue people who are wasnt welcomed by the critics. Tte people who are watching that movie were my age, they were not movie reviewers. Movie reviewers were old men. So to me, the people who enjoyed Marie Antoinette have now grown up and they were like, we loved this movie, but they will not the ones writing the reviews. We grew up in a world where it is mankind, man this, man bat, that is the world in which we grow up. I think times have changed, dont do . I hope so. T think times have changed, dont do .

Motherhood and a career in football were, until recently, considered incompatible, with many players retiring early in order to start a family. But now theres a growing number of mothers returning to the womens super league. Attitudes are changing and support is increasing but there are still challenges, as our Sports Correspondent Katie Gornall reports. You may know carla ward as aston villa womens manager. Wsl history but she has another, more importantjob. What did you do at school today . Science did you . Mum to four year old hartley. Ok, are you going to sing to me . Wednesdays are special for ward. Its the only day she makes it home to sheffield in time for the school run. You are getting an incredible mum. Thank you so much. I feel honoured. What does hartley think of yourjob . Shes very proud. She loves myjob. Yeah. She loves telling everyone that im a football manager. Ward co parents hartley with her former partner. Butjuggling the demands of motherhood and management is a struggle. It was just before christmas, hartley said to me, why do we never have a day off together . Because naturally i work on the weekends. Its mum guilt. Its tough, you know. You miss parents� evening. You miss shows that shes doing. And thats when you start to question, what are you doing . Why are you doing it . And is there longevity in it . Its a heavy heart, constant pulling battle. Theres not many female managers at the top of the game. But do you think the struggle of balancing football and family life is a factor in all of that . 100 . Ward says she feels supported at villa. She is, though, one of only two mums managing in the top flight. Herfriend emma hayes is the other, but the chelsea boss will soon leave for the usajob. A better Work Life Balance was part of the appeal, was part of the appeal. While mothers in management are a rarity, more top players are choosing to have children during their careers. West hams Katrina Gorry is one of them. A mum to two year old harper. For as long as i knew, i kind of thought, you know, id have to hang up the boots before i started a family. Its all i thought about. I dreamt about it. I just knew that there was something missing. And i went to an ivf clinic and four weeks later i was pregnant. And then after i had her, all i thought about is getting back to the game. Ifelt like i loved it more than i ever had before. And having harper on the sideline, just it made me become more proud. She was back playing three months after giving birth and last summer walked out for australia at the world cup. She was one of the players of the tournament, but lifes not been without its challenges. The amount of things you have to do before you got out of the house just to get to training was insane. You just didnt think that youd be able to get through it. And i was Breast Feeding her until she was about a year old, so that was hard trying to juggle that as well. But i had no doubt in my body that definitely wasnt a challenge for me. I knew i could, you know, i went through birth so i knew i could do anything. Now that clubs are more supportive, football and family are coming together. Its taken baby steps, but the sport is changing. Katie gornall, bbc news. I want to know how they manage on so little sleep as well expect to stay with us here on bbc news. Hello, weve got some windy weather on the way by the end of the week and some warmer weather as well, but still some spells of rain. Everything is sprinting across from the atlantic. This area of cloud bringing rain later, this one bringing rain overnight. And that Cloud Has Brough Rain Today across scotland. And that cloud has brought rain today across scotland. Its been wettest in central and southern parts of scotland. With the north easterly wind in scotland, it still feels on the cold side. Its more of a south westerly wind elsewhere, which is why were seeing higher temperatures. But the rain is all coming from the south west. Some rain into this evening still in scotland. Then some showery outbreaks of rain pushing into england and wales overnight. Some heavier bursts of rain in southernmost parts of england. The risk of thunder and strong winds in the channel. That will keep temperatures up here. Still chilly air weve got in scotland overnight. It could be cloudy, grey and even a damp day in scotland, possibly for Northern Ireland and the far north of england. Elsewhere, further south, once the overnight rain clears away, we should see some sunshine with the odd shower around and more Rain Arriving In The South West later. Temperatures ahead of that could reach 15, 16. But still feeling cold across northern and eastern scotland in particular. Rain coming into the south west, getting pushed northwards overnight by that area of low pressure. Wet weather as we head into friday in scotland and Northern Ireland, maybe even some snow over the mountain tops. That will push through. Then lots of showers following in on behind. These will be heavy and blustery as a southerly wind starts to strengthen. Still cold in the north of scotland. Temperatures elsewhere could make 17 to 18 in eastern areas of england. The next area of low pressure arriving for the start of the weekend. This one could be more threatening because it is deeper and it will mean much stronger winds as we head into saturday. Rain from overnight on the Weather Front soon moves away from scotland. Then again we will see sunshine and showers. The low itself is tracking to the west of ireland and bringing in a southerly wind. It will be a windy day on saturday with the strongest winds out towards western areas. But because it is a southerly, even the temperatures in scotland will be higher. But we could reach 20 degrees across east anglia, and that would make it the warmest day of the year so far.
