Israel admits an airstrike which killed three British aid workers in Gaza was a grave mistake, while the US president says he's outraged and heartbroken. John Chapman, James Kirby and James Henderson were among seven volunteers from World Central Kitchen who died when their convoy was hit. The charity says it's now suspended operations in Gaza with immediate effect. Israel admits they were hit by mistake because of misidentification. Tess Ingram from the United Nations Organisation for Children, UNICEF, says their job is increasingly difficult. We're here trying to do our job, but we are continually being hampered every step of the way. We're not getting enough aid in. We are unable to properly move throughout the Gaza Strip. And while we're doing that, we're at risk of being killed. 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 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-kilter, 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. Russia says more than 100,000 people have signed contracts to join the armed forces this year. The defence ministry claims the majority enlisting in the last week want to avenge last month's concert hall attack near Moscow. The advertising watchdog says Nationwide's been misleading people into thinking it, unlike its rivals, would not be closing branches. The ASA found 20 have shut in the last year and a half. Added showbiz, Lizzo's insisting she's not walking away from the music industry. The pop star says a recent social media post titled, I Quit, was about trying to stop giving out negative energy following criticism that she's been getting. There's more news online at gado.co.uk.
