patience with israel. could be running out. it is time to step back from the brink, to silence the guns, to ease the horrible sufferings and to stop the potential famine before it is too late. on today's panel, annabel denham from the telegraph and seema mehta, political writer at the la times. first — the latest headlines. the israeli military has sacked two senior officers, after seven aid workers were killed in air strikes in gaza on monday. a report by the israel defence forces describes their deaths as a "grave mistake" and the result of a catalogue of errors. it says footage will be reviewed to establish whether there was any criminal conduct.

some conservatives have been rallying around tory mp william wragg, who's apologised after admitting he gave other mps�* personal phone numbers to a man on a dating app. mr 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. the leader of britain's biggest teaching union says sexism in schools is increasing because of harmful content on children's phones. daniel kebede of the national education union says boys are watching "aggressive and violent pornography," which "completely are watching "aggressive and violent pornography" which "completely distorts their view of women." he's calling for action from tech giants and the government. infrastructure and buildings are being inspected for damage in new york, after a rare east coast earthquake. the epicentre of the 4.8 magnitude quake was central newjersey. it briefly interrupted a un security council meeting and flights were suspended from some airports. there are no reports of major damage.

welcome to the programme. the israeli military has said air strikes on a convoy in gaza, which left seven aid workers dead, happened after a series of "grave mistakes". israel has sacked two senior officers and has given its first detailed account about how and why it carried out the attack. here are the key points. the idf says the strike should not have happened and expressed its deep sorrow for the incident. it says those who approved the strike were convinced they were targeting hamas operatives. the strikes on the three vehicles were carried out in "serious violation of standard operation procedure" and the brigade chief of staff, an officer with the rank of colonel in reserve, and the brigade fire support commander with the rank of major have been dismissed from their positions. the people who died were working for the charity world central kitchen, which has called for an independent inquiry. in response to the deaths, joe biden says israel is doing what he asked, in opening more aid routes. we will hearfrom one un aid group

on the ground in gaza shortly. but first, let's hear from an idf spokesperson. there was a visual confirmation of a gunman, first of all, on one of the trucks that then conducted shooting from one of the trucks. and when they indeed reached the hangars, 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. unicef�*s communications specialist, tess ingram, joined me from gaza a little earlier. i asked her what she made of the idf explanation as to how the deaths came about. i think it's unacceptable. international law is clear — humanitarians must be protected, as do all civilians.

pregnant women, children, journalists — and we've just lost far too many people, innocent civilians, over the last six months, and i think that makes it kind of clear the type of war this is. this is an indiscriminate war that is killing children, killing humanitarian workers, about 200 now, and so we need these mistakes to stop piling up. let's talk to our panel, annabel denham and seema mehta. let's start with you, seema. joe biden, a significant change in tone in that phone call 2a hours ago. what did you make of that and the impact you think it will have? i you make of that and the impact you think it will have?— think it will have? i think the president — think it will have? i think the president has _ think it will have? i think the president has been - think it will have? i think the i president has been increasingly frustrated with netanyahu and with israel's efforts in gaza and just the amount of bloodshed we have seen of innocent civilians, and also, in this country, critically among democratic voters, this has become a very divisive issue, and we are all easily in an election year and so everything is viewed through that lens. this has become a very divisive issue among democrats because on one annualjewish voters

who are not only democrats that are some supporters of israel, then you have a lot of muslim american voters in importance as like michigan who have family members have been affected by this, who are increasingly armed by israel's actions in gaza —— in important states like. this was reaching a boiling point and with the aid workers being killed, biden was arctic and frustrated, we were hearing these expressions of frustration with netanyahu, but the aid workers being killed, the set this on a new course for some i think the president and white house, date seem to think... it is going along with what they want happening right now, but we're only a short time out, so what is the long—term impact? that will determine our future religion with israel and the aid we supply them. annabel denham, let's come to you. we heard from the idf that excavation of events. what do you make of it and reaction to it? i make of it and reaction to it? i don't think it's a present kepa not at least _ don't think it's a present kepa not at least two minutes eerie and charity— at least two minutes eerie and charity members, representatives, are saying — charity members, representatives,

expectations, and up from a revised 270,000 in february. the unemployment rate ticked lower to 3.8% from 3.9% the previous month. joe biden says the figures mean "we have passed the milestone of 15 million jobs created since i took office." could the figures ease the pressure on the us central bank, the federal reserve, to cut interest rates in the near term? we can cross live to new york and our north america business correspondent michelle fleury. hi, michelle. but has the reaction been to these numbers? i hi, michelle. but has the reaction been to these numbers?- been to these numbers? i think fairly mixed. — been to these numbers? i think fairly mixed, because _ been to these numbers? i think fairly mixed, because there - been to these numbers? i think fairly mixed, because there are| been to these numbers? i think- fairly mixed, because there are two things people are looking at and care about. one isjobs things people are looking at and care about. one is jobs and comically on that front, things are going very well. the other is prices. and you mentioned there the federal reserve and the implications that today's data has for that. just to recap, we saw american employers

adding 3003000 jobs in the month of march, the unemployed and rate ticked down slightly. there was a couple of things as you look into the report, the labour participation rate, the number of people entering and returning to the job market looking for work, increased slightly. we also saw hourly wages and annual rate of about 4.1%, pretty healthy, but it's not too inflationary, so all in all, plenty to celebrate. this was a much strongerjob support than a economists were forecasting, so you saw the white house celebrate in the data because, let's not forget, this is after all an election year. exactly. we will come onto the politics and just a moment. just want to come all i have got you, michelle, what about the way americans are feeling at the moment? talk us through things like inflation orjust if there is surveys and what the feeling is there about the strength of the economy? there about the strength of the econom ? ., , there about the strength of the econom ? . , , . ., economy? that is the price portion of this. if

economy? that is the price portion of this- if you _ economy? that is the price portion of this. if you talk _ economy? that is the price portion of this. if you talk to _ economy? that is the price portion of this. if you talk to people - economy? that is the price portion of this. if you talk to people on - of this. if you talk to people on the street, they will complain to you about their rent, they will talk to you about high prices they are paying at the grocery store, the petrol pump, these continue to be sort of headwinds in an election yearfor sort of headwinds in an election year for the sort of headwinds in an election yearfor the president. but from year for the president. but from the perspective of america's central bank, they are looking at an inflation rate that is coming closer inflation rate that is coming closer in line to where they would like to see it. their preferred rate is around 2—2.5% range, we are in the 3% range, so it is good and closer and closer to that, and that is what you've heard jerome powell, who is the federal reserve chair, staying at some point there may be as as many as two interest rates cuts this yearfor many as two interest rates cuts this year for economists, —— awks on us i have heard speaking today say that is all on the table after the report —— i want to go to the panel. we will go to seema. what is going

on here? this seems like an economic good news story that voters should be happy about in an election year? right, but as your colleague and yourjust said, there's a difference between will be seen the numbers and what you see me talk to voters, and we see this with many trends were even with the trend happening, whether inflation is going down or crime is going down, it takes a while for voters to feel that, to fairly viscerally, and recently see that with inflation. whether it's in the cost of rent, the cost of groceries, of going to a restaurant, going to fill up the take of your car. people feel it stretch and feel like they are struggling, so when does the perception of me to reality? that's the question. the other question with the fed, they have to do this sort of delicate dance—wear they are —— dance, where they are trying to fight infection but not want to cause a recession. it is a narrow lane they have to hit and it comes down to the election ends in november, we know how voters are feeling now, but how are voters

feeling then? a lot of time.- feeling then? a lot of time. musket onto that, because _ feeling then? a lot of time. musket onto that, because i _ feeling then? a lot of time. musket onto that, because i think - feeling then? a lot of time. musket onto that, because i think it - feeling then? a lot of time. musket onto that, because i think it was - onto that, because i think it was joe biden calling the economic performance, the greatest story never told, performance, the greatest story nevertold, basically performance, the greatest story never told, basically saying he is frustrated that this message is knocking out there, so let's look at that. what is going wrong? is it the campaigning, is it the messaging, what is happening? the campaigning, is it the messaging, what is happening?— campaigning, is it the messaging, what is happening? the message is caettin out what is happening? the message is getting out there. _ what is happening? the message is getting out there. you _ what is happening? the message is getting out there. you read - what is happening? the message is getting out there. you read it - what is happening? the message is getting out there. you read it in - getting out there. you read it in the newspaper can you see on the television news, but it's also very bifurcated media market where people go to the media sources they basically align with their political views, and so the story is told differently in various outlets, and i think that is part of it, but i also think people are going to the grocery store and filling up their car and feeling like they are paying more money than they used to and thatis more money than they used to and that is something i don't know how long it will take for what biden is saying to match the reality of people are feeling, but there is definitely a disconnect there. the overall numbers are pretty strong.

thank you very much for that, seema, annabel, we will be back with you, because the other side of the break, we are going to be talking about the state of the uk economy. stay with us.

millions of uk workers will receive a national insurance cut as the new tax year gets under way from tomorrow. about 27 million workers will benefit from the reduction. but it's not the only tax which is affecting household finances. our business correspondent marc ashdown explains. 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, of course, follows a 2% cut back injanuary 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 about £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. now, they used to go up every year to reflect rising prices, inflation. but in 2021, the government froze these thresholds, until at least 2028, which 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 too benefits for millions of people. but we know lots of household bills

are also going up, too, although energy costs are finally getting a bit cheaper. so it all really depends on your personal circumstances. and there is a handy calculator on our bbc website — you can pop your salary details in and see how it might affect you. our thanks to marc for that. our panel is standing by. it is... the thanks to marc for that. our panel is standing by. it is...— is standing by. it is... the march buduet is standing by. it is... the march budget felt _ is standing by. it is... the march budget felt like _ is standing by. it is... the march budget felt like a _ is standing by. it is... the march budget felt like a sleight - is standing by. it is... the march budget felt like a sleight of - budget felt like a sleight of hand, so to— budget felt like a sleight of hand, so to that — budget felt like a sleight of hand, so to that seen in the autumn statement last year. jeremy hunt announcing it further to penn's reduction — announcing it further to penn's reduction in national insurance, good _ reduction in national insurance, good news for workers none the overall— good news for workers none the overall tax — good news for workers none the overall tax burden is still approaching 70 year highs, unfortunately, we are at or close to our text _ unfortunately, we are at or close to our text women in certain areas of the uk_ our text women in certain areas of the uk economy. what have we seen? we've _ the uk economy. what have we seen? we've seen— the uk economy. what have we seen? we've seen a — the uk economy. what have we seen? we've seen a rising corporation tax over last _ we've seen a rising corporation tax over last year or so from 19 to 25%, we have _

new york city. the us geological survey said that the quake was magnitude 4.8. the quake was centred in lebanon, newjersey. there are no reports of any damage or any injuries. but social media users reported feeling the tremors from philadelphia up to new york. this is the moment the quake shook many of new york's iconic landmarks. earthquakes are less common on the us east coast than they are on the west coast of the country. i want to just show you this moment, the earthquake caught on the feed from the un security council. women stood in line for three hours to make use of it. schools normally form a spine of protection for children, a place where children can seek humanitarian services and normality... go ahead? education is...

reports of major impacts to our infrastructure or injuries. earthquakes don't happen every day in new york, so this can be extremely traumatic. the number of texts, calls and inquiries that people sent out to not only our administration but to family members checking on them, we know how this can impact you. let's bring in the panel. seema, do you want to put this in a bit of context for us?— bit of context for us? i think --eole bit of context for us? i think peeple in — bit of context for us? i think people in california - bit of context for us? i think people in california have - bit of context for us? i think| people in california have had bit of context for us? i think i people in california have had a bit of context for us? i think - people in california have had a bit of fun with this because get earthquakes all the time and i saw some he compare the earthquake on the east coast to basically some of the east coast to basically some of the seizing —— summit he compare. they don't get earthquakes very often. jarring when you are not used to it. �* ., , often. jarring when you are not used toit.�* often. jarring when you are not used toit. ., ., often. jarring when you are not used toit. ., to it. annabel, your reaction to all this? i to it. annabel, your reaction to all this? i think _ to it. annabel, your reaction to all this? i think we _ to it. annabel, your reaction to all this? i think we are _ to it. annabel, your reaction to all this? i think we are even - to it. annabel, your reaction to all this? i think we are even less - this? i think we are even less accustomed _ this? i think we are even less accustomed to _ this? i think we are even less accustomed to her _ this? i think we are even less accustomed to her space - this? i think we are even less| accustomed to her space here in britain — accustomed to her space here in britain we _ accustomed to her space here in britain. we have not had very many,

main story, the israel gaza war in response, the fallouts due to the attack on that aid convoy earlier this week, these are the pictures of the aftermath of that seven aid workers killed. over the last 24 hours we have now had an ex—pat nation from the idf —— an explanation. saying this was a grave state. the consequences in terms of what's happened immediately, two senior israeli military officers have been sacked, the idf called this incident a grave incident, is the quote they use. world central kitchen, which is the charity involved here, owning those trucks and running them, doing that aid delivery, moving that aid around, still calling for an independent investigation, so the details of what happened so far have been released by the idf. they show

here it is, then, on the pressure chart, storm kathleen deepening as it passes to the west of ireland. lots of isobars on the charts, indicating windy conditions, and it'll be scooping up some very warm air from southern climes right across the uk. but it's southern and eastern parts of the country which could be seeing temperatures into the low 20s celsius. so, storm kathleen likely to cause some impacts to northern and western parts of the country, a bit of travel disruption. stay tuned to subsequent weather forecasts or head on to your bbc local radio for the latest updates. so, for saturday, it starts off sunny and very windy for many areas. we will see some showers rattling their way eastwards, some areas staying dry all together. so, sunny and very windy for many, gales inland, but certainly gales around irish sea coasts, where we could see severe gales — 60—70 mph gusts here at times. very mild, with temperatures reaching 17 degrees across northern scotland, but up to 21 degrees or so for eastern england given some good spells of sunshine. as we head through saturday night, it stays very windy, further showers rattling their way from west to east. temperature—wise, again,
