The United Nations calls for a ceasefire between Israel and | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian officials say at least | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
140 people have been killed in Israeli air strikes over the last | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
five days. Changing his mind on right to die, | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
the former Archbishop of Canterbury says terminally ill people should be | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
allowed to end their lives. England fight back against India at | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Trent Bridge, with a record-breaking partnership. | :00:33. | :00:50. | |
Good evening. The United Nations Security Council has called for a | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
ceasefire between Israel and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. It | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
comes as Palestinian officials say the number of people killed in | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
Israeli air strikes, over the last five days, has risen to more than | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
140. Israel says it's targeting militants, who fired hundreds of | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
rockets into their territory. Tonight, Israel's military has | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
warned Palestinians living in northern Gaza to evacuate the area | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
for their own safety. In a moment, we'll speak to James Reynolds in Tel | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
Aviv. First our Middle East editor, Jermey Bowen, reports from Gaza. | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
There is no such thing as a surgical strike, even with Israel's modern | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Arsenal, especially in Gaza's densely packed towns and refugee | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
camps. This morning neighbours were digging in the rubble for Suha Abu | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
Sada. She was killed along with one other woman, just after dawn, in an | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Israeli air strike. The missile cut through reinforced concrete. Her | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
sister identified her. She had multiple hand caps, this was a home | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
for the disabled. Then someone said the Israelis had warned another | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
attack was coming. We heard a rocket and took cover. But it was Hamas, | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
firing into Israel. At the mortuary, they're busy and they work fast. | :02:29. | :02:40. | |
Suha's brother waited for her to be prepared for her funeral. He took us | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
to see her body. He rejected Israel's claim that it | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
tries hard not to kill civilians. TRANSLATION: How many of the people | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
killed so far are civilians? Even those they call terrorists, they are | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
not terrorists. They are resistance and we are proud of them. Suha's | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
funeral was quiet, like her life. The United Nations says that 77% of | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
the Palestinians, killed in this campaign, were civilians. Bling | :03:14. | :03:25. | |
rants are -- beligerants are obliged to protect the innocents. After the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
attack on the centre for the disabled, it is clear that the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Israelis have some serious questions to answer. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
So do Hamas about their attacks. Both sides say they're protecting | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
their people. It's hard to enforce the laws of war, but they're the | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
most impartial measure of actions and their consequences. | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
Well our Middle East correspondent, James Reynolds is in Tel Aviv. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
James, we've seen lots of casualties in Gaza, what does Israel say about | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
that? First of all, it says it's looking into the strike described | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
there in Jermey Bowen's report. Overall sources stress they take | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
tremendous care in selecting which targets to hit in Gaza. They issue | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
warnings, firing smoke or phoning up the people in the building giving | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
them ten minutes to believe. People in Gaza do not believe the warnings | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
are sufficient time. Israel wants to stop all rocket fire from Gaza. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Tonight, here in Tel Aviv, we've seen pretty clear evidence that | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
rocket fire continues. We've watched Israeli interceptor missiles streak | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
through the air and intercept, we believe, three Palestinian rockets. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
There were sirens, explosions for about ten to 12 minutes here. Israel | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
believe there may be several thousand Palestinian rockets still | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
in Gaza and it clearly wants to get rid of them. We know that in the | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
last hour, the IDF has asked or instructed the residents of the | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
northern part of the Gaza Strip to leave their homes for their own | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
safety. It may be that is the prelude to an intense, increased | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
activity in Gaza. Thank you. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
The Church of England has called for a new inquiry into assisted dying, | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
after the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, said he had | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
changed his mind about the issue. Lord Carey says he now believes | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
terminally ill people should be given the right to end their lives | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
and he intends to support a bill, which will be debated in the House | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
of Lords next week. Paul Lamb was paralysed after a road | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
accident and left with only limited movement in one hand. He's | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
campaigned for the right to take his life. Tonight, he challenged | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
opponents of assisted dying to heed Lord Carey's words. They have no | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
idea what pain is. They talk about people like me having to endure for | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
the rest of, you know, my life, pain and suffering, because they think | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
it's right for me. But they're not going through it. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Lord Carey says the suffering of people facing painful deaths led to | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
his dra mat Iing change of -- dramatic change of heart. Lord Carey | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
questioned whether the law should force terminally ill patients to an | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
unbearable point. He said that in opposing assisted dying, the church | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
could now actually be promoting anguish and pain. Lord Joffey, whose | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
assisted dying bill was opposed by Lord Carey, said the former's | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Archbishop's willingness to think again would have significant impact | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
in the House of Lords. When they see the analysis which Lord Carey has | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
brought to bring about a change in his views, it is certain that it | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
will have some impact on them. But the church, meeting at the York | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
synod this weekend, remains strongly opposed to assisted dying. The | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
current Archbishop of Canterbury described the bill as both mistaken | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
and dangerous. He warned that were it passed, many elderly and disabled | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
people would be placed under pressure to end their lives | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
prematurely. The synod decisively rejected | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
assistant dying in 2012. Today, senior Anglicans insisted that all | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
human life was sacrosanct. Everybody is of value and is a value to | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
society. Part of our cohesion as a society is caring for them, looking | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
after them right up to the point of their death. A survey carried out in | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
England and Wales for the group Dignity in Dying last April | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
suggested 76% of people supported an assisted dying law, with 12% | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
opposing it. The assisted dying bill comes before the House of Lords on | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Friday. If passed, it would apply to terminally ill people in England and | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Wales, with less than six months to live. | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
Tens of thousands of people in Northern Ireland have been taking | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
part in parades organised by the Protestant Orange Order. Today is | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
the most significant one in the Protestant marching ical encar, | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
almost 700 parades took place. There were protests after restrictions | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
were placed on a march in north Belfast, butt demonstrations passed | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
off peacefully. The restaurant chain Pizza Express | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
has been sold to a Chinese company for ?900 million. The private equity | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
firm Hony has bought the chain which is currently owned by the Gondola | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
Group and has more than 400 branchs in the UK. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
The Pakistani schoolgirl and campaigner, Malala Yousufzai, who | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
was shot in the head by the Taliban, has travelled to Nigeria to meet the | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
families of more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls. They were abducted by | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
the militant Islamist group Boko Haram in April. Malala is | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
campaigning for better education for all girls. | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
John Simpson reports. Malala has come to a country with a | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
dreadful record of girls education and it's three months after nearly | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
300 schoolgirls were kidnapped in north-eastern Nigeria. Today is her | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
17th birthday. Happy birthday, Malala, from the BBC. Hello. Very | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
nice to see you. Thank you. Of these girls, and dozens of others who've | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
been kidnapped since, the only ones who are free are those who've | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
escaped. The Nigerian government may be getting help and advice from | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
Britain, the US, France, China and so on, but there's been no serious | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
progress in getting the girls back. The extreme Islamic Boko Haram | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
movement, remains a strong security threat in the north-east and other | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
parts of Nigeria. In today's newspapers, the government claims | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
some success in its campaign against Boko Haram, though the situation is | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
certainly not improving. But Malala's not here to campaign | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
against terrorism. She's here to press the demand for better | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
education for girls and women. Nevertheless, she told me the two | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
are linked. At 17, just, she's become a diplomat as well as a | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
campaigner. Malala finds herself at the heart of an immensely difficult | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
and complicated crisis here, which has engulfed Nigeria. | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
Now with the day's big sports news, we go to the BBC Sport Centre. Good | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
evening. Good evening. Thank you. James | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Anderson and Joe Root added their names to cricket's history books by | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
setting a world record tenth wicket stand in the first Test against | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
India. Their impressive performance has given England an outside chance | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
of victory with one day remaining. Joe Wilson reports. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
James Anderson's face screams at you when you enter Trent Bridge. He's | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
the worst batsman in the England team. Well the batting order was | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
rendered out of order. Batting is a question of partnerships. At the | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
other end, Joe Root was looking every inch the senior player. This | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
four took him to a vengery. He knew -- century. He knew how much he owed | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
to Anderson staying with him. The whole team knew it. The shot to sum | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
up the whole thing, unprecedented. James Anderson's first ever 50. By | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
the time he was out, he and Root had put on an inconceivable 198, highest | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
ever tenth-wicket partnership in history and from nowhere, England | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
were ahead. James Anderson, 81 runs scored, astonishing, thanks very | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
much. Now it's India's second innings, would you mind trying to | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
get us some wickets? He did his best. Prior couldn't complete the | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
job. Ali did his own catching. India 49-1, surprised? Any wicket is | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
relatively a rarity in this test. Tell me when the next is coming. | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
Hang on, here came two. Was he caught or stumed. Almost | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
instantly another one. Grabbed by Stokes. Day to play in the Test but | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
taking wickets is such an effort, it will take a lot for one team to win | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
it. Now after the humiliation of their | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
7-1 defeat to Germany in the World Cup semifinal, Brazil are in action | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
in a play-off match for third place against the Netherlands. Dan Roan is | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
in Rio de Janeiro. I'm guessing it's a rather strange atmosphere already | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
there. Very muted atmosphere, as you'd | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
expect. This third-fourth play-off is a game that nobody want to play | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
and certainly not the match that Brazil's fans here expected to be | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
watching their team in in the final weekend. If they expected them to | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
restore a modicum of pride tonight, they're going about it the wrong | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
way. Brazil found themselves 2-0 down in the first 17 minutes. First | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
Robin Van Persie with a penalty. After that, Blind putting the | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Netherlands 2-0 up. The reason Brazil are playing a meaningless | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
match in this cup is because of Germany. They are preparing for the | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
final, seen by many as the favourites, the team of the | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
tournament. But they are up against a man who many see as the most | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
talented player of his generation in Messi. It will be fascinating to see | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
whether he can dominate the final tomorrow. Argentina won't lack | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
support. As many as 100,000 fans are expected here tomorrow for what | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
could be a classic as the sun sets on this year's World Cup. English | :13:51. | :14:00. | |
teenager, Charlie hull shot the best round -- charley Hull shot the best | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
round of the day at the Women's Open. She's just three shots behind | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
the leader Park, of south Korea. England's Justin Rose is the joint | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
leader at the Scottish Open ah, longside Scotland's Marc Warren. The | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
pair are on ten under par with a one-shot lead ahead of tomorrow's | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
final round. With less than two weeks to go to the Commonwealth | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Games in Glasgow, the athletics venue at Hampden Park has been | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
staging the latest round of the Diamond League. As well as athletes | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
fine tuning their performances, it gave the Commonwealth Games' | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
organise ea chance to test out their procedures -- organisers'. | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
Track stars at home and abroad, but on show for the crowd. Those who | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
didn't make it into Hampden Park early were left in long queues | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
outside. The tight security measures in place dictating the very slow | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
pace. Inside, on the new track, things were moving faster. | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
Paralympic Gold Medallist Johnny peacock was pipped in the men's T | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
44. COMMENTATOR: So close! World Olympic | :15:03. | :15:11. | |
champion David Rhodesia took the 800 metres. And what a battle in the | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
women's 100, the Trinidadian just ahead of Shelley Ann Fraser Price. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Inside, the crowd has been noisy and the new track has been given the | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
thumbs up by the athletes. But outside w, just two weeks to go, | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
there may be some Commonwealth concern over security. | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
That's all from the BBC Sport Centre for now. | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
That's it. You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
channel. From me, for now, on BBC One, goodbye. | :15:49. | :15:59. | |
Hello. I suspect this will be quite a frustrating night for gardeners. | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
If your garden is looking dry, there is rain around. But rain of varying | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
amounts and intensities. Some of us will see quite a bit. It's wet in | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
western Scotland at the moment. Thunder storms in eastern England. | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
But parts of south-west England will see hardly any rain. There's coast | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
and hill fog around and it's a muggy night as well, | :16:21. | :16:21. |
