conduct a full and transparent investigation into the strike by its forces that killed seven aid workers in gaza. at a nato summit in brussels, the uk's foreign secretary, david cameron, said an inquiry had to happen �*very, very quickly�*. the three british men who died in the attack were working as security staff for the charity — duncan kennedy reports from guardians to victims, john chapman, james kirby and james henderson, the three british men who died protecting others in gaza. they'd only been working there for a few weeks, defending convoys of aid workers. james kirby's family spoke of someone who wanted to make a difference. the way he helps people and his compassion forjust helping everyone. and he was... sorry. he was completely selfless, which explains why he went to gaza. john chapman was married with three children and had served with the sbs or special boat services. his family said... all three men worked here at solace global in poole, a company that provides safety staff around the world and who today said they were devastated. solace is very much a family, all former serving soldiers with long experience in the risk management industry, all highly trained, highly professional and a truly tragic loss to both us and indeed their loved ones. the company is carrying out its own inquiry into what happened, but says it believes all its protocols were followed, and that the three men will be deeply missed. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in poole. let's speak to our political correspondent a lot of political reaction coming in. a lot of thoughts on whether and arms embargo should be imposed on israel. the arms embargo should be imposed on israel. ., ., ., , israel. the london mayor is the latest to add — israel. the london mayor is the latest to add his _ israel. the london mayor is the latest to add his contributions. | israel. the london mayor is the i latest to add his contributions. he said i think the cases there in relation to this government stopping selling arms israel. the israel defence forces actions over the past few weeks have been heartbreaking and catastrophic, in my view. we want the hostages were released, what the government needs to do is publish the legal advice. that is along the same lines as the shadow foreign secretary, i read out a statement from him a little earlier. both in terms of his reaction to that attack and a lot of questions around the legal advice that has been given to the foreign office with the opposition demand that back to be published. david lambie has been talking to reporters in the last little while. can been talking to reporters in the last little while.— last little while. can i begin by offerin: last little while. can i begin by offering my — last little while. can i begin by offering my deepest _ last little while. can i begin by i offering my deepest condolences last little while. can i begin by - offering my deepest condolences to the loved ones and families ofjohn chapman, james kirby and james henderson? these are individuals that served their country and were on the ground, offering desperate support to palestinian people and our hearts go out to them. i have now been calling for 12 days for david cameron to publish the legal advice so that we are clear on whether israel has contravened international humanitarian law and therefore arms sales should be suspended. all of the british public can see the scenes coming out of gaza, children lying in rubble, deep concerns being made about international human rights law and for all of those reasons, that advice should be published and if it is the case that international law has been contravened, it is absolutely right that offensive arms are suspended to israel. this has happened in the past, it happened under the margaret thatcher administration and it happened under gordon brown's demonstration, so there is precedent. it is important that advice is published and so we can all be clear if there has been a breach, and i do have very serious concerns, that arms sales are suspended. another contribution is from the snp who are calling for the uk parliament to be recalled immediately after that israeli air strike in, including seven aid workers will stop stephen flynn writing to the speaker, the prime minister and keir starmer. reiterating that arms sales should come to an end. mps are due to return to parliament on april the 15th, so the snp are calling for immediate recall of parliament. let's go to westminster. we have had growing numbers of mps from across the political spectrum addressing that question about whether now is the time to actually have some sort of arms embargo against israel.— against israel. that is right, the snp and the — against israel. that is right, the snp and the liberal _ against israel. that is right, the snp and the liberal democrats | against israel. that is right, the - snp and the liberal democrats making explicit calls for the uk to halt arms export licences to israel, and he just heard from labour's shadow foreign secretary saying the government should publish its legal advice. he says he has concerns that israel has breach international law. he wouldn't say outright that he thinks they have, he wouldn't go as far as the liberal democrats and the snp in explicitly calling for the uk government to halt export licences to israel, but saying they should publish legal advice so they can be clear whether that breach of international law has happened. to be clear, to explain, the uk government has a list of controlled goods, it can be software or weapons, that you need to have a license before you can export it, and then there's the government makes a decision based on several criteria, including whether there is a clear risk that a serious breach of international law could take place, and these goods could be eased in that process. it is quite a high bar illegally, that the government must hit, i suppose, in order to reach that target. but rishi sunak — order to reach that target. but rishi sunak has been giving interviews in the last little while. i read out to our viewers alan duncan, the former foreign office minister saying now is the time, we cannotjustify minister saying now is the time, we cannot justify selling arms components to israel. that must cease. what is the government position on that basic question? what is the prime minister's position on that basic question? figs position on that basic question? is you said, position on that basic question? sis you said, rishi sunak has been giving an interview to the sun newspaper this afternoon. he defended the uk's export regime. he said we have a very careful export licensing regime and he called again on israel to act in accordance with international law. he is not saying whether or not the government is considering or reviewing that licensing regime for israel, just saying the regime is very careful and strict, and defending the processes that were in place. the government is saying they keep these decisions under review but they are not saying at the moment whether they are considering halting that licence for israel.— they are considering halting that licence for israel. thanks very much for that update. _ ukraine's president vlodymir zelensky, has signed into law a bill lowering ukraine's draft age by

fight. some of them understand they need to protect their country, some of them try to avoid this. my personal position is we need to have very clear and simple systems, where it is absolutely clear, for example 18 months of service, you know you will have rotation so you will not be on the front line all the time, you know you will have the kitchens and all of this. 0nce know you will have the kitchens and all of this. once again i wanted to address those listening to us right now, ukraine needs help in weapons now, ukraine needs help in weapons now, ammunition now. we have a lack of
