from it. they show the best of what humanity has to offer. -- to offer when the going really gets tough. they have to be protected. >> they need to be allowed to do that work unhindered and it is incumbent on israel to make sure they c do that and we are asking israel to investigate what happened urgently because there are questions that need to be answered. ♪ >> seven workers have been killed by an israeli airstrike on their vehicles in gaza. we ask why the attack happened and what it's like for a humanitarian volunteer working in a war zone. donald trump has launched a $175 million bond. can he appeal against his $454 million fine for business fraud in new york? have the former president's

money problems now gone away or is the worst still to come? mr. trump probably never have to worry about paying for child care. he is outlining his government's new policy for time in a crash or nursery -- cresh or nursery. why fans of this former quarry in wales want social media snappers to take more care over what they leave behind. we start in gaza, where one of the key aid agencies supplying food to people has suspended its operations after seven members of his team were killed when an israeli airstrike hit their vehicle. the group of aid workers, mostly foreign nationals, were working for world central kitchen. these pictures show the aftermath of the incident. the charity says they were traveling in a deep conflicted -- de-conflicted zone and had

coordinated movements with israeli forces. the israeli military issued this statement about the incident. >> as a professional military committed to international law, we are committed to examining opations thoroughly and transparently. i just spoke to the founder and expressed the deepest condolences of the israeli defense forces to families and the entire world central kitchen family. >> world central kitchen, the charity organization which has been delivering food and other humanitarian aid to gaza, issued this statement. it said their team was traveling in two armored cars anded with the logo and a soft skin vehicle. it adds that despite coordinating movements with the idf, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the warehouse. the team had just unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian

food aid brought to gaza on the maritime route. they concluded that this is not the only attack. this is an attack on humanitarian organizations, showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. the statement adds "this is unforgivable." while central kitchen has paused its operations in the region with immediate effect and has yet to decide about the future of its work there. so a lot of pressure now on israel to explain why it acted as it did. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, who is recovering from surgery, issued this video statement. >> unfortunately, in the last day, there was a tragic incident of and an unintended strike. this happens in war. we are checking this thoroughly. we are in touch with the governments and we will do everything for this not to happen again. >> here's what we know about the aid workers who were killed. three of them were british and

the others were australian, polish, palestinian, and a u.s. canadian citizen. one was -- colleagues of his have also described how he took part in delivering aid to ukrainian refugees following russia's invasion of ukraine. damien is pictured here alongside the palestinian man who was killed in the israeli airstrike. he was originally from rafa in gaza. at his funeral, a friend said he was happy to work with an organization that provides humanitarian aid to the displaced. let's hear now from the leaders of some of the countries whose citizens were killed. >> the truth is that this is beyond any reasonable circumstance. someone going about, providing

aid and humanitarian assistance should lose their life. >> they are doing fantastic work bringing alleviation to the suffering many are experiencing in gaza. they need be allowed to do that work unhindered and it is incumbent on israel to make sure that they can do that and we are asking israel to investigate what happened urgently because clearly, there are questions that need to be answered. >> we were outraged to learn of an idf strike that killed a number of civilian humanitarian workers yesterday from the world central kitchen which has been relentless in working to get food to those who are hungry in gaza and around the world. the u.s. will continue to press israel to do more as well to ensure the safety of humanitarian workers and we will do all we can to deliver this assistance to palestinian civilians gaza. >> joining me now is richard makepeace, a trustee for political aid for palestinians

in the former british ambassador to see don and the united -- sudan and the united arab emirates. thank you for joining us. your reaction to what we have seen today? richard: it is an absolutely appalling offense and it is frankly just more of the same. this now brings this to over 200, the number of humanitarian workers who have been killed in this conflict, which the u.n. say is more than has ever happened in a single conflict in the course of 12 months. they have been multiple attacks which appear to have been directly targeted against humanitarian convoys and locations clearly notified to the idf as humanitarian ones and this includes an attack back in january on a location occupied by legal aid for palestinians in the international rescue committee and it was only by providence that a few people

were wounded. many could eily have been killed. >> when you work or when one works in any conflict zone and in particular in this part of the world, how much coordination is there for humanitarian agencies? >> everybody on the humanitarian side is extremely careful to coordinate for obvious reasons. we have a duty and we want the aid to get through to the beneficiaries we are trying to reach. in the case of the medical aid for palestinians incident, this was agreed with the israeli authorities that this was a humanitarian location and i think it was notified by the u.n., by the u.s. as well because of international rescue committee by the british government, and yet, the location was attacked. you know, this is not some location, not some area where

there is not a sophisticated command and control, sophisticated weapons, sophisticated intelligence. there is really absolutely no excuse for what is becoming not just a war on gaza but a war on humanity. >> and yet the israelis have said that they are obviously very regretful this has happened and they are launching an inquiry into what has happened. mistakes, tragic mistakes do happen in war zones. >> well, that's true, but there is a story circulating in the israeli press, particularly ha'aretz, that in fact the backstory to this is there was an armed man somewhere near the warehouse and a decision was taken that the armed man might be on the convoy and therefore everybody should be killed. if there is any truth in this at all, it is absolutely appalling. >> richard makepeace for palestinians, thank you very

much indeed. richard: thank you. >> downey street has confirmed rishi sunak spoke to benjamin netanyahu and said he was appalled by the killing of aid workers including those three british nationals in gaza. with me is james langdale. we have seen an unprecedented level of diplomatic messaging, haven't we, today? >> it has been pretty much of one voice. those countries with nationals affected have been pretty unanimous in making clear that not only do they condemn the attack, they are horrified but also they are demanding -- not suggesting but demanding of israel a quick, transparent investigation with what they call full accountability so on the british side, we have seen the british prime minister has spoken to the israeli prime minister and what is interesting is he said there are far too many aid workers who lost their lives in gaza and then he says the u.k. expects to see immediate action by israel

to end restrictions on humanitarian aid so not asking, not suggesting but expects. the israeli ambassador in london has been summoned to the foreign office and given a prettfirm dressing down. similar things have happened in australia and poland. ministers talking to each other so the israelis left no doubt as to the anger and concern amongst countries who are their allies. >> this line that the prime minister reiterated that israel's rightful aim of defeating hamas would not be achieved by allowing humanitarian catastrophe in gaza is drawing an interesting line, isn't it, from the u.k. perspective? they are making that message felt. james: but what is interesting is the british as well as others making these kind of points and these arguments -- they have been making these points and arguments for some time. israel does not seem to have been listening to them, let alone when the united states, its chief ally, makes similar

expressions of opinion. israel at the moment seems to say no. their military imperative trump's diplomatic niceties. i think this incident is causing a little bit of rethinking now and i think that the tone from the israeli response, from the israeli prime minister and the administration, apparently the israeli ambassador -- one word was controlled. there was no defiance when she met the deputy foreign minister, andrew mitchell, earlier today. there is a sense of a mistake was made. there was no sense of trying to paper over what has happened. >> just in terms of where this takesu.k.- israel -- where this takes u.k.-israel relations, there is no question of this leading to a withdrawal of support at this stage. there has been a lot of talk about whether the u.s. would

consider that if israel went into rafa but it is an important day, isn't it? james: if israel went into rafa without taking heed of the humanitarian consequences and the americans withdrew as well, the brits would do so as well. there is a live issue on the table which is whether or not the u.k. should continue selling arms to israel. a lot of mp's are saying the time has come for that to end and an assessment is taking place at the moment. israel is well aware that britain is not the only country making similar assessments of whether or not israel is or is not abiding by international humanitarian law at the moment so that is a debate with quite a few allies. >> thanks very much indeed. around the world and across the u.k., this is bbc news. ♪

♪ ♪ ♪ >> this is we are of course menu coverage of today's events in

israel and gaza with that attack that killed a number of aid workers and the israeli newspaper ha'aretz is reporting more alleged details about the strike. the headline reads "idf drone bond world central kitchen aid convoy -- bombed world central kitchen aid convoy." the convoy traveled along the route approved by the israeli army and the target of the strike, an armed man thought to be a terrorist, never left the warehouse with the cars. i'm joined by our guests. i heard the correspondent and the author of the benjamin netanyahu biography. thank you very much indeed for joining us today. ha'aretz has published more details about what they understand -- understood happened. can you give us any more information on that or tell us how that was sourced in any way? >> i cannot tell you how it was

sourced but correspondents have been breaking news on the story throughout the day and from what we have learned so far is that there does seem to have been a lack of coordination amongst different idf units and commanders who were observing the scene. there is no question that a humanitarian convoy was coordinating with israel and israeli forces were aware of it. they had been in contact with the organization at the same time. there was another force operating in the area which apparently was not aware and was not taking the correct precautions and they were the ones erecting the strike which killed the eight workers. >> obviously a tragic event for all those who lost their lives. as the tragedy continues to unfold in the region, how has today affected, do you think,

the standing of benjamin netanyahu? >> i'm not sure this is directly connected to the snding of netanyahu because netanyahu himself has not been that active in directing the military operations in this war. he has been more noted in his absence and his lack of decision-making, decisive decision-making here. and one thing that we have really learned today is how the idf does not really have a clear directive from the political level on key issues including humanitarian aid and that is one of the reasons i think that it was not clear to all the commanders in the field of the importance of being on the lookout for these humanitarian convoys which seems to be one of the main reasons for what happened last night. obviously, with this international attention on what has happened with the convoy and the fact that this is such a

condemnation from the american administration, from britain, from other western countries, it will force them to take a bit more interest in the humanitarian issue which is something he has largely ignored until now. >> what would you say his public , you know, appeal is at the moment? we have seen protests from families of hostages. we have seen calls around the world for benjamin netanyahu to be replaced as the israeli leader. >> we have seen in the polls already for nearly six months, he has lost the trust of the israeli people. over 80% of israelis think that he is responsible for the failure of strategy and intelligence on october 7 when hamas attack -- the hamas attack occurred and he should pay the ultimate price for that and

resign from office. the problem is that it is not that easy to just remove a prime minister from the office simply because he lost the trust of the public. there is a political process which has to work out. netanyahu still has a majority coalition whicare behind him because if he falls, they fall with him so it's not that easy just to say, well, then he should go. that is obvious to most israelis but it will not happen unless he is willing to or if of his coalition rebel against him. we still have not seen that happen yet. >> ok. our correspondent at jerez newspaper, thank you very much indeed. -- at her rhett's newspaper, thank you very much indeed. i want to bring you -- ha'aretz newspaper, thank you very much indeed. i want to bring you to the met police who are investigating a stabbing in wimbledon. this involves the television presenter on person television

who was attacked. police say that they have looked at three suspects. they believe three people were involved in they have since recovered a vehicle in that attack. but it seems as though the men have absconded. they have not been able to find them. so this is the stabbing of the journalists inside his home. the police say they believe that three suspects are believed to have fled the country within hours of that attack. scotland yard saying detectives have established the victim was approached by two men and attached. the suspects fled the scene in a vehicle driven by a third mail. the vehicle, blue monster three, was abandoned in southwestern london shortly after the attack. detectives have located the vehicle and it is being examined by forensic experts but searches continue and the police team

have established that after abandoning the vehicle, the suspects traveled directly to heathrow airport and left the u.k. within a few hours of the attack so that is a police update that we have just had. let's go to the u.s. now where donald trump has posted a 175 million dollar bond in his new york civil fraud case. in february, he was found to have five generally inflated -- he can proceed with his appeal against a fine without the possible seizure of his assets. he claims it is all a political witch hunt. this is just one of several court cases he is facing with others being criminal cases with the potential for mr. trump to be jailed if convicted. that's look at the four criminal cases which the former president is facing. there is the new york hush money case concerning a pay make made to start -- payment made to stormy daniels. mr. trump is facing 34 counts of

fraud and -- under campaign finance laws and has pleaded not guilty to all of them. in georgia, they were accused of criminally conspiring to overturn his very narrow defeat in the state of georgia in the 2020 election. this case involves a huge racketeering investigation. he is facing 13 criminal counts, three of which have been dismissed by a judge. mr. trump has entered a plea of not guilty. another case involves allegations that he pressured officials to reverse the election results knowing the lies about election fraud and sought to insulate the capitol riot on january 6 to delay the certification of mr. biden's victory and stay in power. he has been charged with four criminal counts and denies any wrongdoing. finally, there is the classified documents case concerning whether he mishandled files by taking them from the white house to his mar-a-lago residence after he left office. there are eight individual accounts, all of which mr. trump

has pleaded not guil to. all of this comes to a total of 91 criminal charges across the four cases but let's turn to that civil case which does not involve criminal charges that was brought in a lawsuit by the new york attorney general. the case was brought using allow that gives the attorney general broad power to invest gay allegations of persistent fraud in business dealings and we will be able to get into that with our next guest. joining me is a former prosecutor for the southern district of new york so just give us some more details about e civil case that mr. trump is facing. >> it is general for her to use what is in her power to do. very broad statutes in new york to prosecute these crimes, to charge the former president, his family members, the company itself with fraud in connection

with how they represented their value to banks from when they were getting loans. >> mr. trump has posted this $175 million bond but he has not had to post the higher number. can you talk western or why that has happened? >> yes, so trump has appealed the decision of a lower court so the proceedings before the court and event file was not a jury trial which made the judge made the decisions here. the president has appealed that to the next level court in new york and in doing so, he has asked the court to sort of hold off pursuing his assets, pursuing the judgment against them. there was essentially negotiations about how, what the president would put up, what he would post as a bond while this appeal was pending and ultimately, they decided -- the

appeals court allowed him to post a bond, this 175 million dollar number, much less than the full number against him. >> what happens with this case next? >> the appeals process has to play out. so there will be a number of months for the president to perfect his appeal, finish his appeal. the appeals court will make a decision and depending on that decision, it could be appealed even further up the courts to the court of appeals which is the highest court in new york. >> former prosecutor for the southern state of new york, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> you are watching the context. we will have much more of course on what is going on in israel, gaza, in the next hour or so. we will be joined in 30 minutes by our panel to take a look at offense in the u.s., the middle east, and right across the world but you are watching the context.
