Israel says it will not bow to international pressure to halt air

strikes in Gaza. Palestinians say women and children are among at

least 100 people who have died in the past four days.

The Israelis say they will not halt the offensive until Palestinian

militants stop firing rockets into Israel. It is the most serious

confrontation between the two sides since 2012. Also, a teenager admits

killing teacher Ann Maguire in her classroom in Leeds.

but no lives lost. First tonight our Middle East editor reports.

The streets are silent in Gaza, but they are not peaceful.

It looks as if there's a curfew here and there is, in a way, enforced by

the Israeli military. Israel's air raids continue, they

say they are after Hamas and its fighters.

But there was a child among the nine Palestinians killed overnight who

were buried in the town of Rafah. More than half of over 100 people

killed in Gaza by Israeli raids were women and children, according to the

Health Ministry. The doctors in the Intensive Care unit at the main

last few days, and that is because it has happened before. The

underlying political realities of the conflict have not been tackled.

underlying political realities of the existence of their state.

Palestinians and plenty of others say the problem

Palestinians and plenty of others have independence, that if they had

their own state, things might be very different. The latest peace

talks collapsed recently, in the past death, destruction and human

pain have filled the gap left by failed negotiations.

It has happened again. Rockets were fired at Israel from

Lebanon as well as Gaza today in another sign that the conflict could

be spreading. There have been 650 rocket attacks this week. Israel's

Government says no country could endure that without a severe

response. Our correspondent reports from Ashdod, which came under attack

today. In Israel, even a quick stop to fill

the tank can be dangerous. This morning, rockets from Gaza hit

a petrol station in Ashdod. One man was seriously injured. The

station was almost destroyed. This may be one of the serious

strikes from Gaza to Israel in recent days. Palestinian militants

have fired more than 500 rockets towards Israel many have been

intercepted. For some reason the rockets fired here this morning were

not intercepted. A little later, at the same petrol

station, there was another rocket warning.

So far this week, no-one in Israel has been killed by rockets, but how

do you measure fear? Israel knocks down some rockets in the air.

To some here, this fight is another round of the country's War of

Independence against an enemy that refuses to accept its existence. The

Prime Minister, speaking tonight from Tel Aviv demands a normal life

for his country. TRANSLATION: No country would accept

its civilians being fired at without a harsh response. I said I would not

allow citizens to live in this reality, nor international pressure

will prevent us from operating with full force against a terrorism

organisation that calls for our destruction.

On the promenade in Tel Aviv Israelis support the offensive in

Gaza, but they don't expect a decisive victory.

As always happens, the first few days we sort of feel good about this

military operation, but in time, I guess, things will start coming up

and we will be faced with the facts. And those facts, as Israel masses

its ground forces, are simple. Israeli offensives on Gaza may

reduce rocket fire for a while, but they've yet to stop it for good.

And tonight, Israel's military operations continue. Ministers in

the security Cabinet, some hard-line ministers, continue to press for a

ground offensive into Gaza. That will be the first since 2009. Others

insist the country should stick to air strikes. Here there remains

broad support for the offensive, but no-one here really thinks this round

of fighting will be conclusive. Thank you.

A 16-year-old boy, accused of murdering a teacher at a school in

Leeds has accepted responsibility for unlawful killing. Ann Maguire

was stabbed to death in her classroom in April. A prosecution

lawyer told the court this was not an admission of murder. The boy, who

cannot named for legal reasons, is due to go on trial in September. Ann

Maguire, killed in her classroom as she taught Spanish, just weeks

before she was due to retire. Today, some of her family were in court to

hear a teenager accepted that he killed her. He was 15 at the time.

Today, he appeared by video link in the courtroom, where his barrister

told the court that the youth accepts responsibility for the

unlawful killing of Ann Maguire. That was agreed in court to be an

admission of manslaughter. The 61-year-old teacher's family

described her as their shining light and came to see the tributes left

for her by the school gates. Since her death, pupils at the

school have sat their GCSEs, often thinking of the lady who taught them

Spanish. As soon as you look at a Spanish paper, a picture comes up in

your head of Mrs Maguire. But then that picture makes you think, she

wouldn't want me to sit here and say, oh, no, I can't do this! She

would want to make me strive to get that A star. Pupils have left their

ties on the fence as a mark of respect to the popular teacher. The

16-year-old is due back in court in September.

could be eligible for weight-loss surgery in a bid to tackle an

epidemic of type 2 diabetes. The health watchdog says gastric bands

would help to reduce diseases linked to obesity. A man who is five foot

nine and weighs 14 stone eight would be sent for an assessment, as is a

who is five foot three and weighs at least 12 stone, four. There

increasing demands on the NHS. Weight loss surgery is one of them

as people get heavier. The population is increasing, but the

budget is not expanding. Health finances are being squeezed.

Difficult choices may lay ahead. Mark is one of those who have

benefitted from surgery on the NHS. He has type 2 diabetes, which can be

brought on by poor diet a year ago he had a gastric bypass to shrink

his stomach. It has been hard work but absolutely

fantastic. It has brought me back to life. I have got myself a job. I am

back working. More weight-loss surgery is being carried out every

year. There was a total of 8,000 operations in England in 2012. That

is more than doubled since 2009. The operation costs about ?5,000, which

more on top for after care and check-ups. Between 5,000-20,000 more

people a year could now be eligible. NICE, which authorises spending on

different treatments and drugs, believes weight-loss surgery like

this is good value. I says caring for an obese diabetes for a --

diabetic over a lifetime could cost more. Patients like Caroline argue

that surgery is the only remaining option. She said she has tried

everything. My dad diet from complications and gout. I am worried

that will happen to me and I am only 37. It will increase the workload of

clinics like. This here there are specially-made beds and chairs to

make obese patients feel their needs are being met. There's been an

increase in referrals here by GPs. Have those referrals got out of

hand? Some say the only answer is better diets. Perhaps a tax on

unhealthy food w a limited appetite among taxpayers for the bills

involved in surgery. They are more cost effective means would be to

stopped this nation getting fatter and fatter. We were not a fat nation

40 years ago. As far as type 2 diabetes is concerned, that is

seriously bad news. Some can reform their lifestyles,

some can't and see weight-loss surgery as the only way forward. The

health of NHS finances is closely linked to how the nation tackles

obesity. Burberry -

it's a powerhouse of British fashion, synonymous with luxury

and known throughout the world. But the man who's been instrumental

in building its success, the boss, Christopher Bailey,

has faced a revolt from shareholders today over his pay deal,

which includes a ?7 million bonus. Emma Simpson reports.

It is a British success story, a luxury brands sold all over the

world. Yesterday, Burberry posted another set of stellar results. And

here is the man credited with much of that transformation, creative

director Christopher Bailey, who has recently taken over as the Chief

Executive Officer as well. A modest 41-year-old Yorkshireman. He has no

shortage of celebrity fans wanting to work with him. Shareholders

applaud him, too, but they are less keen on his pay package and they are

not alone. He is an unproven CEO, who has done a tremendous job as

creative director of Burberry. To go from being a non-CEO to being one of

creative director of Burberry. To go the best paid in the country, better

paid than even the boss of BP, that is quite a step. What happened at

Burberry today is unusual. In fact, it is only the sixth time in the

last decade that shareholders have voted against the pay package of a

FTSE 100 boss. The company says that it knows it is a lot of money, but

much of it is performance related. So what is Christopher Bailey's pay

deal? He could have an annual pay package of up to ?10.7 million per

year. That does not include the ?7 million of performance related

shares, a golden hello which many investors did not like. Some were

also unhappy that he is also getting nearly ?20 million of existing share

options over the next five years. But is he worth it? Burberry thinks

so, saying he could have earned much more elsewhere. If one looks at his

value to the business, he has integrity linked to the success of

Burberry, and to losing would be dangerous. People can be replaced

but you do not always get the right fit. But at what price? Shareholders

have made their feelings clear. Their vote is not binding but the

company said it would be talking to them about the deal.

Luis Suarez, the footballer who was kicked out of the world cup

for biting an opponent, has been sold to Barcelona for ?75 million.

The troubled striker is now the third most expensive player

in football history. But as Natalie Pirks now reports,

his current ban means he won't be able to play for his new club

until the end of October. Luis Suarez has thumped it in.

special talent, England the latest in a long line of teams that Suarez

has displayed with his eye for goal. Little wonder Barcelona will

hand him goal. Little wonder Barcelona will

become their new number nine. The standout player of last season

scored 82 goals in total for Liverpool, a city he says he will

always carry in his heart. He said that in good times and bad he always

felt supported by a wonderful club. And the captain, Steven Gerrard,

paid tribute, saying it had been a pleasure to play with an amazing

talent. Suarez has certainly left his mark. On the pitch, you cannot

argue with his results. A fantastic player who will be missed at

Anfield. There is not another player in the world who can do what he did.

But his knack of turning football into a street brawl did not win him

many fans outside Liverpool. He had bitten twice in his career before

the World Cup but his third attack, on Giorgio Chiellini last month,

earned him worldwide condemnation and a ban from all football

activity. In fact, his bad behaviour during three and a half seasons at

Liverpool gave him a woeful disciplinary record. He was banned

for ten matches for biting Ivanovic, and also ate for racially

abusing Patrice Evra in 2011. He also served a one match ban for an

obscene gesture to Fulham fans in the same year. In total, he was

fined ?60,000. One former player says Liverpool had to let him go.

There is an inherent problem and they have done well to get the money

they have got for him. The king is dead, long live the king. He will

join footballing royalty like Neymar at Barcelona but they will be no

grand unveiling for Suarez. The fact that he is banned means he cannot

set foot in the camp or play in the shirt until the end of October. The

fans seemed divided on what it means for them.

TRANSLATION: It is an exciting signing. The truth is he is the best

you can find in the market. I do not agree. He is too expensive and will

not be able to play for ages. Suarez will stay with his family before

flying out to sign with the Spanish giants next week. His motto is more

than a club, and Barcelona will be hoping this decision does not come

back to bite them. until the end of October.

Police in Brazil say a British man at the centre of an investigation

into a scheme to sell World Cup tickets illegally has fled.

Ray Whelan, a director of FIFA's official hospitality partner,

left his hotel through a service entrance in Rio de Janeiro

shortly before officers arrived. His company, Match Services, insists

that he has done nothing wrong and he is not avoiding the police.

Tomorrow night Brazil's players have to face their nation once again

after their shocking defeat at the hands of Germany.

They take on the Netherlands in the World Cup play-off for third place.

It'll be a tough comeback for the team in front of Brazilians

who are still reeling from Tuesday's humiliating result.

From there, Wyre Davies reports. After a slow start, Brazilians

really got behind their World Cup. The colour, the vibrancy of this

vast nation helping to create perhaps the best World Cup ever.

Alas, for the hosts, it ended in humiliation and disappointment.

The pain of that 7-1 semifinal thrashing

by Germany captured in the face of 19-year-old boy, Tomaz De Rocha.

We took Tomaz back to the scene of that capitulation.

His dad had told him all about the great Brazilian teams

of the past, but all Tomaz saw through his tears was failure.

"The defenders were rubbish," he says.

"Some of them hardly seemed to be playing at all".

The levels of expectation were almost unsustainable,

in a country where football is the one thing that unites everyone.

It was a great World Cup with great games and great players.

And I think it was worth it for everyone.

I think it was a great thing for Brazil.

But was it worth it? There is still anger

at the billions of public money spent on new arenas, some of

which will barely be used again. But apart from anti-World Cup

demonstrations on the opening day, the much anticipated unrest failed

to materialise. the much anticipated unrest failed

With the tournament almost over, and elections now around the

corner, those protests may resume. And what of the government's claim

this was a World Cup for everyone? It doesn't feel like that in rougher

parts of Belo Horizonte, where lives were barely touched by the Cup.

TRANSLATION: For most Brazilian kids and fans,

this cup may as well have been in South Africa or Germany.

Sure, it was a success but it left out most of the population.

The dreams of a nine-year-old boy and 200 million

other Brazilians were shattered here at the Mineirao Stadium.

You get the feeling they would swap all

of their five previous world titles for just one here on home soil.

But it will be some time before that chance comes round again.
