Israel admits an airstrike which killed three British aid workers in Gaza was a grave mistake. John Chapman, James Kirby and James Henderson were among seven volunteers who died when their convoy was hit. Israel admits they were hit by mistake because of a misidentification. Darren Jones is the Labour MP for Bristol North and one of the victims was a constituent of his. It's making it harder for more aid to get into the region because the routes for aid and the aid workers that have to do the work are at more risk than they should be, which is making the situation even worse. This war has gone too far. We need a ceasefire. An earthquake in Taiwan has killed four people and injured dozens. It's estimated to have measured 7.4 and that would be the strongest to hit the island in at least 25 years. The tremor damaged buildings and caused a small tsunami which hit southern Japanese islands. No one was reported injured there. Emily Feng is a journalist in Taiwan and says the low number of deaths is because of improvements to the country's national infrastructure. Last time Taiwan had an earthquake at this scale in 1999, 2,000 people died. Those buildings that you're seeing that collapsed or are off tilter, for the most part, are the exception. In Taipei, my building has been swaying for the last couple of hours, but Taiwan has really earthquake-proofed itself. Supermarket sales rose 5.4% in March, helped by falling food prices and increased competition. Slowing inflation has encouraged shoppers to spend, according to market research firm Nielsen IQ, but its monthly survey also revealed that overall consumer spending remains under pressure because of rising household bills. Network Rail is to invest more money in protecting lines from the impact of climate change. Over the next five years, £2.8 billion will be spent on improvements, which include better monitoring of flood risks and making embankments more resilient. The organisation which is responsible for running Britain's network says tackling global warming is the biggest challenge to the railways. And in showbiz, Jennifer Lopez has renamed her tour after reports of weak ticket sales. The singer announced concerts for This Is Me Now in February, but then cancelled ten of the stops shortly afterwards. The tour is now called This Is Me Live, The Greatest Hits, and is one part of a £15 million self-financed multimedia project, including an album, a film and a behind-the-scenes documentary.
