from Alastair Cook, as England try Hello. Good evening. International | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
pressure for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is mounting after | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
the deadliest day of violence in the region so far. Reports say 26 | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
people were killed? Gaza by Israeli air strikes and more rockets were | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
fired into Israel, including two shot down over Tel Aviv. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
In a moment, our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen reports from Israel. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
First, Wyre Davies send this report from Gaza. Israel has chosen its | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
:01:46. | :01:47. | ||
targets in Gaza today, selectively, but with devastating effect. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Across Gaza, the homes of at least seven Hamas military officials were | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
hit in massive explosions, regardless of who may have been | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
inside. Israel repeatedly described its attacks as surgical strikes. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
This was a family home, in the heart of Gaza City, which was | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
flattened in an air strike earlier this afternoon. Several civilians | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
have been killed. Others are missing. Frantically they dug for | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
survivors. No-one could have come out of this alive. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
A senior Hamas official and his entire family of ten were killed | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
here today. Sure, if they keep doing this, you | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
will see more people die. Israel is targeting Hamas off | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
officials it accuses of hiding among civilians. The number of | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
civilians, particularly children, being killed or injured in the air | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
strikes enrages Palestinian feeling even more. At this house, in the | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
north of Gaza City, a one-year-old boy and his three-year-old sister | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
were killed in an Israeli air strike. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Israel also hit two buildings where international and local media have | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
their offices. One journalist had his leg blown off. Another | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
justifiable attack, said Israel, because Hamas was using | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
communication antennae on the roofs. No-one knows when this will end, | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
but more people were killed today than on any other day of this short, | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
brutal conflict. The Israeli Prime Minister, | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Binyamin Netanyahu, said the Israel's mill thri was ready, for - | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
- military was ready for an expansion in Gaza. Today civilians | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
were fired by rockets fired by mill fapbts. In southern Israel more | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
alarms, more people running for cover and more concern about how | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
this is going to end. Bombed out residents in these flats | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
in Ashkelon, many Russian immigrants had some advice for the | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
Government. She said Israel should level Gaza, | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
as Russia levelled Chechnya in their war. Not all Israelis feel | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
the same. They have seen force used in Gaza before and it has not | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
stopped rocket attacks. Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
said the operation against Hamas will continue and will widen. The | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
question is whether that will mean invading Gaza again. Allowing | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Israeli TV to film troops training for street fighting is the latest | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
loud signal aimed at re-enforcing Israel's threat. The last invasion, | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
four years ago, was bloody and the message from Israel's allies, | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
including Britain, is think hard before doing it again. That came | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
from President Obama too, who is on a tour of Asia. Though he also gave | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Israel the support it expects and needs. We are fully supportive of | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Israel's right to defend itself from missiles landing on people's | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
homes and workplaces and potentially killing civilians. We | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
will continue to support Israel's right to defend itself. Ehud Barak | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
inspected the Iron Dome anti- missile system. The Americans | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
developed it with the Israelis. Iron Dome has shot down almost 300 | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
of the 1,000 or so rockets and missiles launched out of Gaza. With | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Israeli attacks killing more Palestinian civilians inside Gaza, | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
Israel's insisting that the force it is using is proportionate, in | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
lines with the rules of law. fact Hamas and other terrorist | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
organisations are targeting Israelis, while we are targeting | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
only terrorists. Once again, it is a tragedy that there are casualties | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
on both sides. The next big decision Israel faces is whether to | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
use the troops and armour it is deployingen the border with Gaza. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
The Government here says it wants quiet in southern Israel. Most | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
likely that means another ceasefire with Hamas. What no-one knows yet | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
is whether it will take a ground war or diplomacy to make that | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
happen. Well, we can speak to Jeremy Bowen | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
in Jerusalem now. You mentioned that notion of a ceasefire. Is that | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
at all possible at this stage? efforts are going on. There's an | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Israeli delegation in Cairo and using the Egyptian Government as | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
go-betweens, they are indirectly talking to Hamas. I think neither | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
side will want to give any kind of concession that the other will be | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
able, that their enemies, will be able to present some kind of a | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
victory. Now, don't foreget that all of this comes on top of changes | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
in the region and the violence elsewhere. Diplomacy has never been, | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
or for a long time, it has not been this hard, or has not been this | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
necessary. I think the longer that the air strikes go on, without | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
stopping rocket launches and missiles firing out of Gaza, the | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
more likely it is that that ground operation will happen. I think the | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
last time it happened, four years ago, then the Israelis had a good | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
idea about how their neighbours would react. Because it is a new | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Middle East they don't this time around. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
Thank you. Jaguar Land Rover has reached a | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
deal to manufacture cars in China. It is joining forces with Chery, in | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
a �1 billion joint venture. Our business correspondent has the | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
details. One of the best known companies in Britain is setting up | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
shop in China. It is building a new factory there in partnership with | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
the leading Chinese car maker Chery Automobile. It will produce well | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
known models and a new line. Why is a car-maker in Coventry so keen to | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
do business in China. A few years ago it sold hardly any cars there. | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
But now one in five it produces has a Chinese buyer. Sales have gone up | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
there by 80%. As the vast population gets richer, there is | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
plenty of room for growth. Jaguar Land Rover need to grow | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
dramatically. China should help them do that. It is important for | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
the firm to make a success of it. When it is built, the new factory | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
will be the company's first proper manufacturing base outside the UK. | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
Jaguar Land Rover, which is owned by Tata, rejects suggestions that | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
it could start to move production away from Britain. We are very much | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
seen as a British company, a premium British company. In China, | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
the reason they are buying Jaguar and Land Rovers is because of that | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
British heritage. We are seen as a premium western brand that people | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
want to buy. Jaguar Land Rover is not the only leading western brand | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
looking to China for growth, as traditional markets become crowded | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
W a population of 1.3 billion and a growing middle class, there is | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
unlikely to be a shortage of customers there any time soon. | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
The Labour leader Ed Miliband will adopt a more sceptical tone towards | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Europe in a major speech towards business leaders tomorrow. Let's | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
speak to our political editor. Why this new approach? Ed Miliband says | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
he has to speak out because it is a dangerous time for Britain. We | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
would be sleepwalking our way out of the European Union. He say he | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
wants powers back from Brussels or to withdraw entirely. In the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
process Ed Miliband has had to pour cold water on some in his party who | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
think it would be brilliant if Labour called for a referendum to | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
pile more pressure on the Prime Minister. So, in the current | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
climate, he knows he cannot apologise for the EU. He says in | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
future Labour will not turn a blind eye to the European Union's | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
failings, but the Conservatives say he has no credibility in this issue | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
because when Labour were in power they gave money and powers away to | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
Brussels. Thank you very much. It has been a matter which has | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
divided the Church of England for years. This week, history could be | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
made as the General Synod votes on whether to allow women to become | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Bishops. A new Archbishop of Canterbury is in favour. The vote | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
is thought to be on a knife-edge. Its buildings are almost as old as | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
its traditions. This week, a lengthy debate on | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
women Bishops will be clarified. Frances Ward the dean of | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
Edmundsbury Cathedral is one of the most senior women in the Church, | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
among one of the first women to be ordained in 1994. She says the | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
issue is one of relevance. The time now is right. We do need to take | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
this step. We need to be aure thatch is speaking to the issues of | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
the nation and being there, as the Church of England, in this society | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
today, and our credibility will be shot through if we don't pass this | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
on Tuesday. We are fearful too... It is two decades since the Church | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
of England voted to ordain female priests T retdoric then as now was | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
sin -- rectoric then as now was scurrilous. The Church is | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
overwhelmingly accepting of that move. The congregations, at least, | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
want the General Synod to take another defining decision. Most of | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
the congregation here and in the wider Church of England are in | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
favour of England Bishops. The Archbishop of Canterbury has warned | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
of turmoil in the Church unless the measure is passed and his successor | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
is supportive. That does not mean that Tuesday's vote will go their | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
way. Some parishes are opposed to women | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Bishops and are fighting for guarantees from the Church. They | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
:12:18. | :12:19. | ||
I believe that God created men and women equal. I believe he created | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
us different and we have different roles to play and that the ultimate | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
leadership of both the family and the Church, which is the family of | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
God, should be taken by men. complicated voting system, | :12:33. | :12:40. | |

special correspondent -- Rakhine state our special correspondent | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
sent this report. Thousands of Muslims lived here, until driven | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
out by their Muslim neighbours. Today pigs are in the ruins. It is | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
hard to imagine that until a few weeks ago this was a vibrant | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
community. Hundreds made their living here fishing N a day of | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
hatred they were driven out. Their presence has been erased. | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
Some Buddhist villagers looked on as we filmed. The Muslims say that | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
they were attacked here. He repeated the story you will hear in | :13:54. | :14:00. | |

Political change has allowed old hatreds to flare. The Buddhist ra | :14:09. | :14:17. | |

here. "I cannot find my children. I don't | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
know where they are gone," she told me. The state has deployed police | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
to restore order, but still discriminates, denying most | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
citizenship. They have lived here for generations. They are | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
:15:19. | :15:20. | ||
stigmatised as political migrants. Monks have led calls to exclude | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
