Another United Nations-run school in Gaza has been hit by a missile. | :00:17. | :00:27. | |
Palestinians say at least ten people have been killed | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
There has been no word so far from the Israeli military | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
Live now to our correspondent in Gaza, Martin Patience. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Martin, what's the latest? Eyewitnesses say that an Israeli air | :00:41. | :00:54. | |
strike struck the entrance of the school. Palestinian health officials | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
say that children are among the dead and that more than 30 have been | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
injured in this attack. It is believed that thousands of | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Palestinians were sheltering at this school, believing it would offer a | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
degree of sanctuary. But this is in fact the third deadly attack at a UN | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
school since this conflict began. Just last week Israel received | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
international condemnation after another incident at a UN school left | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
at least 17 dead, and as you said the Israeli military has yet to | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
comment on this incident. What we do know is that there has been intense | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
fighting in and around Rafah, after it was believed that Hamas militants | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
captured an Israeli soldier. Israel is now saying that a soldier is | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
dead. STUDIO: Thank you for joining us. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
Well, here, the Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
says the conflict in Gaza is having an "intolerable" effect | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
It follows a row between Ed Miliband and Downing Street, after the Labour | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
leader accused the Prime Minister of getting it "wrong" on Gaza. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier is at Westminster. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
The language being used by politicians here in Westminster is | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
getting stronger, not just in what they are saying on what is happening | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
in the ground in Gaza but a ratcheting up in the tone of the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
exchanges between the Prime Minister and the leader of the Labour Party. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
First, Ed Miliband criticised David Cameron's responds to Israel's | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
offensive in Gaza claiming his silence was inexplicable. That | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
prompted an unusually strong response from Downing Street, which | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
said it was shocked that Ed Miliband was using this situation, and | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
playing politics with this situation. Right from the start the | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
Foreign Secretary, along with the Prime Minister, has consistently | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
called for a cease-fire in this conflict and today in Sunday's | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Telegraph, Philip Hammond has described the situation on the | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
ground in Gaza as intolerable for civilians. I think if and when the | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
numbers of people dying in this conflict continues to rise the | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
language here will get tougher and far more intense. Thank you for | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
joining us. A Royal Navy survey ship is | :03:13. | :03:13. | |
preparing to evacuate Britons from Libya amid worsening violence | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
in the country. More than 200 people have been | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
killed in Tripoli and the eastern city of Benghazi | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
in the past two weeks - as fighting Britain's Foreign Office had | :03:22. | :03:24. | |

can charge for assessing people who claim they've suffered whiplash | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
are to be drastically reduced. At the moment, health professionals | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
can charge up to ?700 From October, that will be reduced | :03:43. | :03:44. | |

wants to make new garden cities more attractive by compensating nearby | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
homeowners The Government is proposing three | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
new garden cities of around 15,000 homes each to ease | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
the housing shortage. This report from | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
BBC Countryfile's Tom Heap. The satellite town scheme is planned | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
to reduce the congestion in London and give workers employment | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
in pleasant surroundings. The garden city movement began over | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
a century ago in response to similar housing pressures to today - a huge | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
demand for homes around London. This was the result - | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City where parks and gardens were woven | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
amongst the housing. The Government thinks | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
similar developments today Avoiding the protests, | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
which greeted other recent big We could maybe give deductions | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
on their council tax for the period of time during which | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
the garden city is being built. We could possibly also say to those | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
homes where they think the price of their home will be affected - | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
we will guarantee the price of their home by buying it, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
if you like, up front. Bicester | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
near Oxford is experiencing rapid growth and is one place interested | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
in becoming a garden city. Nearby villages, though, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
are worried about the effect on their lives, homes | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
and also the loss of green space. Is that going to incentivise | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
householders to accept a garden city on a massive greenfield site | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
near to their home in preference to redevelopment of an unsightly | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
brownfield site within the town or Nick Clegg's remarks seem to have | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
surprised the Department for Communities and | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
Local Government, which described them as "an interesting contribution | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
to the debate." Homeowners affected may want | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
to firm up this potential And you can hear more | :05:59. | :06:00. | |

gold in the women's cycling road race - with her team-mate | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
Emma Pooley taking silver. That leaves England at the top | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
of the medal table and Scotland Rain returning for the end of the | :06:37. | :06:49. | |
