Police have announced that a gunman who went on the rampage in Cumbria killed 12 people and injured 25 people before killing himself.

Local taxi driver Derrick Bird is reported to have murdered a colleague before driving through the Lake District, firing at people. He was later found dead in woodland.

Peter Marshall is in Whitehaven, where the killing spree began, and will bring us the latest on the story tonight.

In the wake of Monday's lethal raid on an aid flotilla seeking to break Israel's blockade on Gaza, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, has said that the lifting the blockade and allowing the overland import of goods from Israel are key to solving the Middle East crisis.

"What needs to be done is to open the crossings through which goods can flow from Israel into the Gaza Strip," Unwra commissioner, General Filippo Grandi, said.

Tim Whewell is in Gaza and tonight will be reporting on life under the Israeli blockade and whether it has in fact strengthened not undermined support for Hamas.

And Sue Lloyd-Roberts continues her journey to find out the truth of what life is like in North Korea, this time travelling to South Korea to talk to defectors who have made the long and perilous journey to Seoul.
