A UN shelter in Gaza is hit by an Israeli missile. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
15 people are killed, over 200 injured. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The injured are rushed to hospital. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
They were using the shelter after being forced from their homes | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
by the fighting. There are injured and many people | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
are killed. They are children, young children and women. The head of the | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
UN says he is appalled. by the fighting. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Israel has again accused the Palestinian militant group Hamas of | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
using Gazans as human shields, but said it is reviewing the incident. | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
Also tonight: A week since flight MH17 was shot | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
down the site is still not secure. Can there ever be a credible | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
investigation into what happened? The ex-boyfriend of Jayden Parkinson | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
is found guilty of murdering her and burying her body | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
in his uncle's grave. And I am here in Glasgow where | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
the Commonwealth Games are well and truly underway with 20 gold | :00:57. | :01:08. | |
medals up for grabs today. The first medal goes to Jodie | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Stimpson in the women's triathlon. And England's Brownlee brothers | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
take gold and silver in the men's. Tonight on BBC London: | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
As Scotland Yard reports an increase in child sex abuse allegations, | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
question over whether it can cope. And could sanctions against Russia | :01:28. | :01:28. | |
harm London's economy? Good evening and welcome to the | :01:29. | :01:53. | |
BBC News at Six. The UN Secretary General says he is | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
appalled by an Israeli attack on a UN shelter in Gaza in which 15 | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
people have been killed, including women, children and UN staff. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Over 200 people have been injured. The shelter was a UN school being | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
used by Gazans forced by the fighting to leave their homes. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
So far at least 736 Palestinians have died since the start | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
of the offensive. During that time 34 Israelis | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
have been killed, among them 32 soldiers and two civilians. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
The Gaza Strip is 30 miles long and just seven miles wide. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
The UN says Israel's military has designated nearly half of it a no-go | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
zone and told residents to leave. Today's strike on the compound | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
happened in Beit Hanoun. With the latest | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
our correspondent Yolanda Knell who sent this report from Gaza. | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
It contains some distressing images. Angry, distraught and beyond | :02:40. | :02:57. | |
consolation. These women and their little children had fled the | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
fighting near their homes in northern Gaza and taken shelter in a | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
UN school. But it too was caught up in the bloody violence. The Israelis | :03:06. | :03:16. | |
hit us in our homes and they hit us at the school, this woman cries. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Israel says it is investigating and Hamas rockets could be to blame. The | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
dead and wounded were brought here to the hospital. 100 are injured and | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
many people are killed. They are children, young children and women. | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Then while we were filming... An Israeli tank shell explodes just | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
outside the hospital gates. Once again there is panic. The front line | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
of the conflict reaches even here. Nearby the Beit Hanoun School is | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
deserted. As they ran away people left their belongings behind. There | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
are blood stains everywhere here and pieces of shrapnel. This was | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
supposed to be a place of safety, but nowhere in Gaza is saved. The | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
school took a direct hit. This is how the same school looked when the | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
BBC visited just a few days ago. It was full of families. Now it has | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
become the fourth UN building to be fired upon in four days. That was a | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
designated emergency shelter. We had transferred patients here on 12 | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
occasions, last time at 10:56am this morning. It is outrageous and | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
shocking, it was well known. Survivors of the school explosion | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
now find themselves displaced yet again. We find many here in a | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
corridor at the Beit Hanoun hospital and they are just a small fraction | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
of the tens of thousands left homeless by the ongoing conflict. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
It contains some distressing images. The UK Foreign Secretary, | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
Philip Hammond, who is in Egypt trying to help in the effort to find | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
a peace plan, called on Hamas to agree to a humanitarian | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
cease-fire without preconditions. The Israeli Prime Minister accused | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
Hamas of using Palestinians as human shields something Hamas has | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
again denied today. Here is our diplomatic | :05:15. | :05:15. | |
correspondent James Robbins. As Israeli troops continued their | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
assault inside Gaza, Israel's Government insists it is legitimate | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
to hunt down Hamas on the ground and destroyed their rockets. But the | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
number of civilian casualties is piling international pressure on | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Israel to stop all this. Hamas is only looking for a temporary | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
cease-fire. Its leaders has Hamas will go back to attacking Israel | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
unless all its grievances are addressed. TRANSLATION: In this | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
battle between us and Israel they ID executioners, the occupiers, the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
settlers, and we are the true owners of the land. Israel rejects that and | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
international criticism of its actions, particularly the UN human | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
rights chief suggesting it may have committed war crimes. It is a | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
travesty, it is a travesty of fairness, it is a travesty of common | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
sense and truth. I think that it will not prevent us from continuing | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
to act to protect dashed defend our people. What are the main obstacles | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
to peace? Either a cease-fire or something more permanent? On the | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Hamas side the leadership demands an end to Israel's blockade of the | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
territory. Gaza is sealed off at sea and over land, including by Egypt, | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
increasingly hostile to Hamas. Israel says the blockade is vital to | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
stop Hamas getting materials to build new weapons. But a fundamental | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
obstacle is Hamas refuses to recognise Israel's right to says it | :06:57. | :07:06. | |
wants to destroy Hamas' entire rocket arsenal. Israel called Hamas | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
a terrorist organisation, not an elected Government, and does not | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
accept negotiations involving Hamas will ever deliver a long-term | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
peace. It is clear Israel is under growing pressure. Tonight the | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Foreign Secretary seemed to turn up the heat. Israel has a right to | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
defend itself, but it also has an obligation to act in accordance with | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
international, humanitarian law, as indeed does Hamas. The targeting of | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
civilians is not permitted, of course. But another source of | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
pressure on Israel is using as airlines gradually restore flights | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
to Tel Aviv after cancelling them in response to the risk from Hamas | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
rockets. International efforts to stop the fighting continued, but a | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
long-term peace looks further away than ever. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
correspondent James Robbins. Two more military aircraft carrying | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
the remains of victims of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 has | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
landed in the Netherlands. The Australian and Dutch | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
planes arrived in Eindhoven. On board were 71 coffins. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
298 people were killed in last week's crash, 194 of them Dutch. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Meanwhile it has emerged that the crash site of flight MH17 has | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
yet to be secured, one week after the plane was shot down. | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
A BBC team visiting the site this morning found the scene deserted | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
with no sign of any investigators. Fergal Keane reports. | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
Only the sounds of the morning. When we arrived there were no guards, no | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
workers, the wreckage still spread for miles, the smell of human | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
remains. These left behind by emergency workers, civilian | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
volunteers and the militia. A place open to any who pass by. For all the | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
outrage expressed by the international community, it has | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
seemed powerless to ensure that this site is properly protected, or that | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
due respect is shown to the remains of the dead. With the war escalating | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
it becomes ever more difficult to ensure that there is a credible | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
investigation. Australia has offered to send police to protect | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
investigators who are waiting in government-held territory. And then | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
at mid-morning a site so familiar in war zones, those who cross any front | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
line for the sake of humanity. The International Red Cross arrived with | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
a clear mission. Our role is to ensure the dignity of the dead and | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
the dignified management of the dead and the rights of the families. But | :09:55. | :10:05. | |
fighting is still going on nearby. Just 35 kilometres away rebels used | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
missiles to bring down Ukrainian air force jets yesterday. All talk of | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
investigations and recovery effort must be seen against a backdrop of | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
growing fear. A major challenge for European observers who have been the | :10:22. | :10:38. | |
most frequent visitors to the crash site. Is anybody in control? I | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
cannot comment. It speaks for itself. In the capital done, where | :10:44. | :10:44. | |
European observers are based, people continue to lead. They are looking | :10:45. | :10:45. | |
for help from rebel officials to escape the fighting. We heard a | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
whistling noise and then somebody said get down, get down, Olga told | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
me. I lay on my child to protect him, but the blast lifted us off the | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
ground. In the hand pressed to windows of buses taking refugees to | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
rush it is the story of the war. Fergal Keane, BBC News, done yet. | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
Fergal Keane reports. A passenger jet with over 100 | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
people on board is believed to have crashed in west Africa. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
The plane, operated by Air Algerie, was en route from Burkina Faso to | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Algiers when contact was lost over a Gao in Mali. | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
Its route had changed because of severe weather. | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
All 117 passengers are presumed dead. | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
50 were French nationals. Let's talk to Hugh Schofield | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
in Paris. What more can you tell us? | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
France feels directly involved, not because there were 51 French | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
nationals on board, but most of those were coming to France, in | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
transit via Algiers. Airports across France, in Paris, Marseille and | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
Lyon, there are psychological unit in play is helping the families of | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
the people who were on board. The other focus is on locating the wreck | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
and two French Mirage jets based in Chad are in the zone 50 miles north | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
of Gao in Mali. This is an area the French know well because they have | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
been fighting jihadist is in the area for the last year and a half. | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
It raises the question could this have been a terrorist attempt? | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Nothing is being rolled out, but the main hypothesis for the moment is | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
bad weather. There was a call from the pilot saying he wanted to be | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
diverted because of storms in the area. For the moment that is the | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
most likely scenario. What more can you tell us? | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
The UK is on course to outpace the world's major advanced | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
economies this year after the International Monetary Fund | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
raised its growth forecast for the UK for the fourth time in a row. | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
The IMF forecast has been upgraded by almost half | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
a percentage point to 3.2%, driven by consumer spending and | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
a tentative boost in manufacturing. The forecast this year | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
for the United States is 1.7% and Germany 1.9%. | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
One of the most disturbing cases in living memory. | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
That is how the police described the murder of 17-year-old | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
Jayden Parkinson. Her former boyfriend, Ben Blakeley, | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
has today been found guilty of her murder. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
He killed her 24 hours after she told him she was expecting his child | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
and buried her in his uncle's grave. Duncan Kennedy reports. | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
She was just 17 years old, but Jayden Parkinson would die at the | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
hands of her violent former boyfriend. That man was 22-year-old | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
Ben Blakeley, who had a history of abusing his girlfriends. The tragic | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
story unfolded on CCTV last September. They were first seen at | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
Oxford station, then at Didcot, apparently heading to a place to | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
discuss the news she was pregnant. Later that night Blakeley returned | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
alone having killed her. Two days later he returned to bury | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
her. But three days after that he returned again, dug up her body, put | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
her in a suitcase and took a taxi to a nearby graveyard. He hauled the | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
suitcase into this churchyard where he re-buried her in the grave of his | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
uncle. Please say this was the first time in living memory that an | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
existing grave was being used to hide a body. After the burial | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
cameras capture him yet again, this time coverage in the mud of Jayden | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
cameras capture him yet again, this time coverage Parkinson's blood. We | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
thought we had seen all and could not been shocked or surprised, but | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
we were just as surprised and shocked when her body was found in | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
that grave. Tonight her mother left court with her family and friends | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
relieved that the guilty murder verdict. It is good that she has got | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
justice and the family could not be more happier. Ben Blakeley will be | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
sentenced tomorrow. His plan to hide Jayden Parkinson on sacred ground | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
was literally on earth. And The time is 6:15pm. A shelter has been hit in | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
Gaza. Several people have been killed and injured. Outdone by | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
Australia. There is no golden glory for Sir Bradley Wiggins as he and | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
his team takes silver in the men's pursuit. Later on BBC London: | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
Helping to free up homes for families - why ageing Londoners | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
should be encouraged to downsize. And the efforts to save a shipwreck | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
lying off the coast of six for more than 350 years. -- lying off the | :15:45. | :15:55. | |
coast of Essex. MPs are calling for major rethink on how we dispose of | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
our waste and are accusing the government of lacking vision. Last | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
year 39 million tonnes went into landfill sites in the UK, enough to | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
fill over 300 Olympic sized swimming pools per week. A committee of MPs | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
has called for tax allowances on recycled products, extended | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
warranties on electrical goods and a ban on food waste going into | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
landfill. Claire Marshall has been looking at the options. A great deal | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
of what we throw away is useful and valuable. In effect we are burying | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
money, but it doesn't have to be this way. Food, for example. Live in | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
North London and you can throw a half eaten apple in a compost bin, | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
it is collected and taken away to a processing site. Then it is treated, | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
turned into high-quality compost and now it can help a tree with all its | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
valuable apples, to grow. But in England only a quarter of councils | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
provide this service. The urgent message being given by MPs today is | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
that we need to learn how to reuse resources. It's about waste | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
altogether. And it is really moving away from the throw away a society | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
that so many of us have been brought up in and got used to. But how? Each | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
local authority does recycling differently. Not even the bins are | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
the same. More is spent managing waste than on housing or planning | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
but the UK is set to miss European targets. If you take a posse bottle | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
to recycle you don't know which bin to put it in and these are obvious | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
problems we could sort out today and if we did that and delivered that | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
plastic wattle or whatever to a reprocessing factory we could | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
capture the value in it. Look at the value here, this had all been thrown | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
out. Technology is endlessly evolving and we all want the latest | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
and the best and the old stuff we just throw it away. When actually, | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
all it needs, like most things here, is to be taken off the shelf, | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
powered up and then turned on. A computer being repaired, now a rare | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
sight. Today's report says companies like this should be rewarded with | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
tax breaks. If we can grow what we are doing it would be massive. | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
Obviously we are here to make money as well because we are a business, | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
from the sustainability point of view and the environmental impact if | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
we could grow what we are doing and have more of an impact and just in | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
London that would be hugely beneficial for the environment. More | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
valuable rubbish arrives. The government says it is investing in | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
this area and will respond to the committee in due course. Every put | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
into undercover policing at Scotland Yard has revealed how a secret unit | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
gathered information on no less than 18 justice campaigns for murder | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
victims and for people who died following contact with the police. | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
They include relatives of Jean Charles de Menezes, the Brazilian | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
man mistakenly shot dead by police officers in 2005. The Metropolitan | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
Police says it regrets the distress caused to families. June Kelly | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
reports. It was the case of Stephen Lawrence which exposed this new | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
scandal. Police also kept information on the mother of Nikki | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Reel, and the relatives of Jean Charles de Menezes and Harry | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
Stanley, who were both shot dead by firearms officers. This week saw the | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
ninth anniversary of the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, killed | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
after he was mistaken for a suicide bomber. His parents travelled from | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
their home in Brazil to see the underground station where he died. | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
His case provoked a massive campaign involving some of his relatives in | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
London. Now it has emerged that police gathered information on the | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
family. The family feeling credibly distressed and upset to hear they | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
have been spied upon. It feels like a real violation of privacy at a | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
time when they were just seeking and service to find out what happened | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
after the death of a loved one. Today's report says undercover | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
forces did not in portrait the Justice for gene, or any other | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
family campaign group, but officers who were working undercover in | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
political protest organisations learned information about the | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
families which they then passed back to their bosses. -- Jean Charles de | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
Menezes. The way it worked is they collected a vast amount of | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
information and retained it but it was never passed out of special | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
Branch. It wasn't used to protect, it was used as gathering because we | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
can and keep it just in case. Harry Stanley was shot dead after officers | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
shot him after mistaking the chair leg he was carrying for a gun. His | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
family and the others feel they were spied upon. They have invaded my | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
privacy. I feel like we have done something wrong. We are not | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
criminals and we haven't done anything wrong and have not got any | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
records, so why treat us like this? They have shot my husband, have we | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
not been through enough? The Scotland Yard unit at the heart of | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
this was the now disbanded Special Demonstration Squad, or STS, and the | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
report makes it plain this was all about the failure of management. The | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
officers in charge of the SDS were flouting the rules and down the | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
years some of those in charge of Scotland Yard didn't even know it | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
existed. Today the force apologised to the families of the dead for the | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
distress they had suffered. June Kelly, BBC News at Scotland Yard. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
After last year's storms more than 1 million people were left without | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
power and many customers were frustrated at the length of time it | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
took to get reconnected and for the level of compensation they received. | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
Now the energy regulator Ofgem says it is more than doubling the minimum | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
payment for consumers who lost power for 24 hours from ?27 up to ?70. | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
After the excitement of last night's opening ceremony of the | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
Commonwealth Games in Glasgow the first medals have been won but there | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
has been disappointment with the news Mo Farah has pulled out of the | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
competition. Let's go live to Glasgow for the latest with Sophie | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
at the Tollcross centre. There are high hopes for Scotland's | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
swimmers. The poster boy of the games Michael Jamieson won silver at | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
the Olympics and can he add a commonwealth gold? Hannah Miley is | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
on top form breaking her own Commonwealth record in the heats | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
this morning. Meanwhile, the first gold-medal of the games went to | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
England's Jodie Stimpson in the women's triathlon and there was a | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
thrilling and rather cool finish from the Brownlee brothers in the | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
men's event as Natalie Pirks reports. Day one, official | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
programming! This weather has shocked even the locals but it is | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
showing no signs of letting up. Sport plus sunshine equals a happy | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
crowd. But would the Brownlee brothers be as content with this | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
challenging course? Two laps around the loch and all was calm, with the | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
Spanish world champion missing there was no surprises who were the | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
red-hot favourites. The Brownlees dominated the podium in London, but | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
it is younger brother Jonny Brownlee who leads the rankings in this | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
field. As expected, though, it is those two who are right in the mix | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
at the first transition. But Scotland's Mark Austin was not | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
letting them out of his sight. The 20-year-old revelling in the home | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
crowd's cheers. The Brownlees proved too strong at not a good separate | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
them as they came through final transition. At the family | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
pleasantries soon stopped and the race broke out. It was Alistair, | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
though, who opened up the lead on Johnny so big that he could afford | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
to take his time and savouring the moment when Commonwealth gold was | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
added to his long list of titles. This is the gold I wanted to achieve | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
this season and I've done it now so that is what I wanted to do really. | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
Now I've done everything I wanted to do so I don't know what to do, might | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
as well retire! Earlier the first gold of the games was up for grabs | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
in the women's race. After a cagey bike section England's Jodie | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
Stimpson muscled her way into the lead and the others could not quite | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
match her pace. Her compatriot the Tory Holland took bronze. The smiles | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
of spectators and athletes as wide as the loch they swam in. -- | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
Victoria Holland. In the last half-hour Sir Bradley | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
Wiggins of England and his team-mates were beaten in the | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
cycling pursuit final losing gold to the favourites Australia. From the | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome Andy Swiss reports. He's been here many times | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
before. He is the man who simply has it all, Olympic titles, world | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
titles, but Sir Bradley Wiggins had never won Commonwealth gold. Was | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
that about a change? For the first time in six years Wiggins was back | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
on the track in the team pursuit. He inspired England to the final but | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
against world champions Australia they were always underdogs, and this | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
time not even Ben Knight Rider could rescue them as Australia charged to | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
an emphatic victory. Not quite the fairy tale return for Sir Bradley | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Wiggins. Another Commonwealth silver to add to his collection, but once | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
again he has missed out on gold. Hannah Mears is flying! Earlier | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
there had been more joy for Australia, one of their biggest | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
stars anomie is taking gold in the time trial. Anna Meares wins gold | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
for Australia! With England's Jess Varnish taking bronze. Being pushed | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
and is half a lap away. The first ever Commonwealth para- cycling | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
event produced a Scotland versus England event, Sophie Thorn him and | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
her team-mate edging out the Scots. It was a very happy one for them. -- | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
Sophie Thornhill. In the last few minutes we have had another of the | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
big finals, the men's team sprint. England versus New Zealand in the | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
final. It was a thrilling finish but New Zealand held on to win the gold. | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
They were the favourites. England had to settle for silver. So a | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
frustrating day for that team, and indeed for Sir Bradley Wiggins. But | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
a very eventful day here at the velodrome. | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
There was also huge disappointment in Glasgow today when the Olympic | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
star Mo Farah announced he has withdrawn from the Games after | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
failing to recover from a recent illness. He was supposed to run in | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
the 5000 and 10,000 metres but will now concentrate on being fully fit | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
for next month's European Championships. Tonight the focus is | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
on the poster boy of the games, Scotland's Michael Jameson who will | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
be competing here at 9pm this evening. Hannah Miley of Scotland is | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
also going to be in action just after 7pm. There is huge pressure on | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
both of those two in front of the home crowd. The support they have | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
been getting in today's heats has been incredible. You can watch it | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
all on the BBC with Clare balding who will be here from 7pm. But right | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
now let's have a look at the latest weather with Darren Bett who can | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
tell us all about it. It's been another incredibly hot day in | :26:48. | :26:48. | |
Glasgow. It looked really hot for the | :26:49. | :26:57. | |
triathlon. The pool was the place to be. Temperatures up to 27 degrees in | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
Glasgow and 30 in Dorset. We have since and storms in Northern Ireland | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
and Devon and Cornwall and there has been some flooding in Bude. The | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
storms and rain will continue over the next few hours and fade away and | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
it will be dry overnight. We will see low cloud coming back through | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
the central belt into the Moray Firth and into the eastern side. Not | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
great weather for sleeping. But how will retreat to the coast. More low | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
cloud and we have had today, otherwise lots of sunshine, the heat | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
triggering some showers in the south-east mainly, possibly dry in | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
the south-west of England this time. Heavy and potentially thundery | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
downpours in the afternoon sliding their way towards the London area | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
and West as well. Another hot day through the Midlands and Wales. High | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
temperatures away from the North Sea coasts. The last of the hot days I | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
suspect for Northern Ireland and Scotland. It's going to be very worn | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
indeed for the bowls and rugby sevens. But a different story along | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
the coast in Carnoustie where we have the shooting medals in the | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
afternoon but the money could be rather grey, misty and murky as well | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
but obviously a lot cooler as well. Similar story heading into Saturday | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
but again a bit of a grey and misty start. Still the warmth for England | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
and Wales and maybe one or two showers later on but there are some | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
signs of change coming to Scotland and Northern Ireland with | :28:20. | :28:21. | |
temperatures slipping away as the showers moved in. The showers will | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
move further south on Sunday with more cloud and longer spells of more | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
rain for Scotland. But we getting north-westerly breeze this time | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
which will have a major impact on the temperatures compared with | :28:33. | :28:34. | |
today. Scotland and Northern Ireland will be 10 degrees cooler a bit | :28:35. | :28:40. | |
cooler for England and Wales but still 25 in the south-east but not | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
as hot as it is right now. A reminder of the main story: | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
15 people have been killed and up to 200 wounded after a UN run school | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
has been hit by a missile in northern Gaza. That's all from the | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
