of two—year—olds in england, but is it properly funded? the 80—year—old wanted man, arrested after 27 years on the run. and how visitors to this unique attraction in wales are making themselves unwelcome. coming up on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news — he was the match winner last time, but ben stokes has ruled himself out of the t20 world cup to try and regain full fitness. good evening. there's been international condemnation after seven people working for the food aid charity world central kitchen were killed in an israeli strike in gaza. three of them were british. the others were australian, polish, palestinian, and a dual us—canadian citizen. the us secretary of state called them "heroes". the foreign secretary,

lord cameron, has demanded a full explanation from israel. the strike happened in the centre of the gaza strip near the town of deir al—balah. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said the convoy they were in was hit unintentionally. lucy williamson sent this report from jerusalem. they came to feed people from australia, poland, the us and the uk. their mission, one of the simplest in gaza. one of the hardest and most dangerous. last night, israeli air strikes hit their convoy, clearly marked with the charity logo of the world central kitchen. seven people killed, including three british nationals. colleagues, distraught, identified their bodies. these are the people who brought the aid from the sea.

he says, they're all dead. all of them. it was a direct hit. they tried to treat some of them and put them in another car in front, but they shelled the car. this is the situation here. anyone who brings aid to gaza is at risk of shelling and death. this second shipment of eight was unloaded on a beach and taken to a warehouse. the workers were hit by an air strike as they left the house in a convoy of three vehicles. unfortunately, in the past day, there was a tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed non—combatants in the gaza strip. this happens in war. we are conducting a straw inquiry and we are in contact with the governments. we will do everything to prevent a recurrence. six months into this war, the questions around the killing of civilians are getting sharper.

this was a clearly marked aid convoy passing through an area without heavy fighting under israeli control. aid agencies say coordinating safe passage with the israeli army in gaza is cumbersome and time consuming. but it's this kind of event that it's designed to avoid. the un here says it's been warning about something like this for months. we have got people in these very, very dangerous situations moving around without any comms between the different groups of different teams. and then, you know, last night, for example, you know, that there was telephone calls coming from the world central kitchen trying to make connections and itjust wasn't possible. so you're moving around gaza? no communication between teams. why not? well, because the israelis say we shouldn't have communications equipment, because if they do, they could actually be taken by hamas and use by hamas. i think it's a poor excuse. the killing of british nationals sparked calls from across government for an urgent explanation.

shocked and saddened to hear the reported deaths of aid workers in gaza. we're urgently working to confirm all the details, but my thoughts right now with their friends and family, we're asking israel to investigate what happened urgently because clearly there are questions that need to be answered. the first of the victims was buried today without those answers. a local man called saif abu taha. gaza, already a byword for grief, is tonight mourning those who came to save lives and paid with their own. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. our diplomatic correspondent james landale is outside the foreign office for us, and these deaths have prompted the summoning of the israeli ambassador? when normally i stand here and talk about an ambassador being summoned

to the foreign office, normally they are diplomats from china over human rights abuses or perhaps iran over security threats. very rarely are ambassadors from british allies summoned here but that happened today with israel but ambassador. the first time an israeli ambassador has been summoned here to be given the once over by a foreign minister for 12 years. the ambassador met the deputy foreign secretary, andrew mitchell. he expressed his concerns about what he called these appalling killings and he demanded a quick and transparent investigation and what he called full accountability. the foreign secretary, lord cameron, had a similar conversation with his israeli counterpart and similar conversations took place between australian and polish diplomats. by this action, by these killings, israel has not chucked angered allies, it has notjust damaged even further its international

reputation, it has also made it much harderfor israel to reputation, it has also made it much harder for israel to claim that it is somehow allowing and supporting the flow of humanitarian aid into gaza. if israel is killing aid workers, it is really hard to argue that it workers, it is really hard to argue thatitis workers, it is really hard to argue that it is helping them.— workers, it is really hard to argue that it is helping them. thank you, james landale- _ the un secretary—general, antonio guterres, has condemned a suspected israeli attack on iran's consulate building in damascus in syria yesterday. he also called for restraint on all sides to stop the conflict spreading. 13 people were killed in the strike, including two senior iranian military commanders. iran's supreme leader said it would not go unpunished. working parents in england can now receive more government—funded care for their children. up until the end of march, there were 30 hours per week of funded childcare available for three and four—year—olds. now, there'll be 15 hours per week available for working parents of two—year—olds during school term—time.

the government says it will mean tens of thousands more children will be eligible for a government—funded childcare place. but many in the industry are warning that the funding simply isn't enough, as our education editor, bra nwen jeffreys, reports. nurseries have been getting ready for these extra hours, worrying about costs rising faster than funding and recruiting enough staff. this nursery in cumbria is full until september 2025. this nursery in cumbria is full until september2025. i5 this nursery in cumbria is full until september 2025.- until september 2025. is the consensus — until september 2025. is the consensus is _ until september 2025. is the consensus is we _ until september 2025. is the consensus is we haven't - until september 2025. is the consensus is we haven't got| until september 2025. is the i consensus is we haven't got the space. unless there is more government investment, we are not going to be able to meet the demand they say should be available. is a workin: they say should be available. is a working mum. — they say should be available. is a working mum, kirsty will benefit from september but is struggling to find a nursery place in liverpool. i'm on three waiting lists and they

features on the forbes billionaires list for the first time. coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news — back in the fast lane. adam peaty posts the quickest time of the year, as he reaches tonight's 100—metre breaststroke final at the british championships. prices in the shops rose at their slowest rate in more than two years last month, according to new figures. the british retail consortium said inflation at the till eased to 1.3%, thanks to lower food costs and increased competition. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. inflation is heading in the right direction. in reading town centre, plenty of shoppers out today and spending, but many are still feeling the squeeze. i'm not a big shopper, but when i do go out to shop, it doesn't ever get any cheaper or any easier. do you think it's getting

a little bit easier? no, no. i haven't see any changes at all. sales are good. we're like, usually, we're just sale shopping today and it's actually not bad. of course, it depends on what you're buying. key essentials like milk and butter were actually cheaper than a year ago, but our easter eggs were more expensive. that's because the main cost of the ingredient cocoa has skyrocketed. but overall, today's figures show that prices aren't rising as fast as they were. and it's being driven by food. this monthly industry data shows what's been happening to prices in the shops. food inflation hit more than 15% last spring. this rate has been coming down, but that's not the same as falling food prices. what we won't see is inflation going into reverse and negative

territory, if you like, and prices falling back to what they were in pre—covid times. but what we will see is them rising at a much, much, much, much slower rate. for retailers, that are still some cost pressures coming through. it is april, minimum wage goes up. this is a good thing because this means people have more money to spend with me. this is also now all my staff have slightly more going on, which is something to take into account. but for now, it looks like the worst of shop price rises are behind us, and the mood music is looking good for a cut in interest rates by the summer. emma simpson, bbc news, reading. the woman who complained about red bull team principal christian horner�*s behaviour is �*scared and intimidated,�* according to a family friend. the woman lodged a complaint in december of coercive, abusive behaviour and sexual harassment by homer, but red bull dismissed the complaint following an investigation. horner has always denied the claims.

relating to inappropriate and controlling behaviour. red bull racing said they could not confirm the complaint included allegations of sexual harassment but the bbc had seen evidence to that effect. on the 28th february, horner was cleared of wrongdoing by the parent company red bull after an investigation and friends said that the woman struggles to understand how the decision was reached and has appealed. ultimately, this could end “p appealed. ultimately, this could end up at an employment tribunal and she has asked the governing body of the sport, the fia, to investigation, so while horner wants to draw a line under the matter it seems the complainant does not. almost 1,000 people are admitted to hospital every day with some form of brain injury. and research suggests that rates of depression in people who have had a traumatic brain injury are ten times higher than in the general population. now a new study has started in england to see if giving antidepressant medication to patients straight after a serious blow to the head can improve their health outcomes in the long term. our health reporter

jim reed has more. so this video was three hours before the accident... four years ago, shannon was working on this building site in east london. i was hit on the left hand side of my head with a digger. i was told that i was going to die. but i was given a chance, had surgery. it took time to repair the physical damage. the full impact, though, was not always visible. i wasn't taking care of myself. ijust completely let go of myself. i put on weight and any self—respect that i had was just gone. hi, shannon, it's nice to see you. come and take a seat? every six months, shannon's progress is checked by a psychiatrist. have your headaches been? i've not had any.

a head injury can change the way the brain works, affecting thinking skills, memory and personality. now a new study is being run at nine major trauma centers. this commonly—used antidepressant is being given quickly after the injury itself. the hope is it might better protect the brain from damage. up to now, most of the research has been on the treatment _ of depression once it's set in, which we know| can be quite difficult. this would be one of the first large scale studies in the world - to try to prevent it _ from happening in the first place. five years ago, sean was knocked off his motorbike on his way home for dinner. they broke all my left side and i had a bleed on the brain. he now helps out at this charity. he's had to come to terms with differences to his brain and his personality. things that you used to do make you feel depressed in a way. like, you know, because i want to be that guy. i want to be on that side of that guy. i want to be that guy again. but that's the hardest thing. you just have to accept a new person in your life. group therapy is one route to recovery.

it's hoped new approaches to medication might help, as well as doctors try to better treat a complex injury to the most fragile part of the body. jim reed, bbc news. cavers have been clearing up the mess from an unexpected influx of visitors to an abandoned mine in north wales. people had come to take their pictures next to a mound of old cars after it featured in a youtube video, which racked up over 6 million views. but as our wales correspondent tomos morgan reports, they left an unsightly trail behind. so, as we come under here, you can start to see the resemblance of other explorers.— start to see the resemblance of other explorers. outside the mine are remnants _ other explorers. outside the mine are remnants of— other explorers. outside the mine are remnants of recent _ other explorers. outside the mine are remnants of recent visitors. i are remnants of recent visitors. they wrapped themselves up in black bags, and they will go through and rip them off one side, and on the way back out they have the same

north—east of scotland temperatures will struggle below par for this time of year with around five or 6 degrees, but as we go through the week, temperatures are set to rise elsewhere and will get much milder. 19, possibly 20 degrees into the weekend but don't necessarily think it will be settled and sunny with it. it's going to be wet at times. this is the contrast, this nagging north—easterly bringing the cold air but a south—westerly flow will drag up but a south—westerly flow will drag up this very mild weather, but very wet weather. here are the first signs of the low pressure arriving overnight tonight, and they are queueing up like buses and re—speaking —— waiting in the not windy all the time but you will have to dodge the rain from time to time. it was the first pulse of wet weather pushing up from the south—west with a band of showery rain and heavy bursts in their through the night tonight, and it will rest on northern ireland and southern scotland by first thing tomorrow morning. and to the south it will be in an incredibly mild start at ten or 11 degrees. as we go

through wednesday, the wet weather will be pushing in through northern ireland into southern scotland and gradually drifting steadily north. it will be cool and windy across the far north—east of scotland and bright and breezy with sunny spells for england and wales, and here temperatures between 14 and 15 degrees, so a 10 degrees contrast with five or six in the north—east and 15 degrees across the south—east of england. but then the next area of england. but then the next area of low pressure is set to advance and the winds will strengthen as the rain starts to push in, so another speu rain starts to push in, so another spell of wet weather and another one waiting in the wings for the start of the weekend so it will stay decidedly unsettled which means as we look further ahead we will see showers or long spells of rain at times but if you judge the rain you get some sunshine and it will be highs of 18 or 19 degrees. thanks, louise. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website.
