At least 15 people are killed including United Nations staff. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
The Secretary General condemns the attack, but falls short of laying | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Hamas leader, Khaled Meshaal, tells the BBC what it would take for | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
We want a cease-fire as soon as possible. | :00:29. | :00:43. | |
An Algerian passenger plane with more than 100 passengers and crew | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
on board is believed to have crashed in the Sahara desert. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
A week since flight MH17 was shot down, the | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
site in Ukraine is still not secure because of fighting in the area. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
And the epic journey from the middle of the Atlantic to Scotland. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
We follow the team of St Helena who are competing | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Officials in Gaza say 15 people have been killed, more than 200 injured, | :01:02. | :01:22. | |
after a strike on a school which had been turned into a | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
It was being used by Gazans forced by | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
The head of the UN Relief Agency on the ground said it was | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
the fourth time in four days that Israel had hit a UN compound and UN | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
So far at least 736 Palestinians have died since the start | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
During that time, 34 Israelis have been killed - among | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
The Gaza Strip is 30 miles long and just seven miles wide. | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
The UN says Israel's military has designated nearly half | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
of it a "no-go zone" and told residents to leave. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Today's strike on the compound happened in Beit Hanoun. | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
In a moment, we will hear from one of the Hamas leaders and a spokesman | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
for the Israeli government, but first our correspondent sent | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
Angry, distraught and beyond consolation. These women and the | :02:25. | :02:43. | |
little children had fled the fighting from their homes in | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
northern Gaza and taking shelter in a UN school. It's too was caught up | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
in the bloody violence. TRANSLATION: The Israelis hit us in the school. | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
The dead and wounded were brought here to hospital. 100 are entered. | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
Many people have been killed. They are children, young children. Then, | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
while we are filming, an Israeli tank shell explodes just outside the | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
hospital gates. Once again, that is panic. The front line of the | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
conflict reaches even hear. Nearby, this school is deserted. As | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
conflict reaches even hear. Nearby, away, people left their belongings | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
behind. There are bloodstains and pieces of shrapnel. This was | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
supposed to be a place of safety. But nowhere in Gaza is safe | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
nowadays. The school took a direct hit. This is how the same school | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
that when the BBC visited a few days hit. This is how the same school | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
ago. It was full of families. Know hit. This is how the same school | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
to be fired upon. That was a designated emergency shelter. It was | :04:13. | :04:21. | |
well-known. It is outrageous and shocking. Survivors of the school | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
explosion now find themselves displaced yet to get on. We find | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
many here in a corridor in the hospital. They are small fraction of | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
the tens of thousands left homeless by the ongoing conflict. | :04:39. | :04:55. | |
What would it take for how Mars to sign onto a cease-fire now? | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
TRANSLATION: We want a cease-fire as soon as possible. That includes a | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
listing of the siege on Gaza. I call on the United Nations to go to Gaza | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
and ask them what they want. I am prepared to accept 100% the answer | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
of the people in Gaza. What the Americans seem to be working on is a | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
two stage deal, where there will be a close and the violence will stop. | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
Then there will be a serious negotiation about how to boost the | :05:35. | :05:46. | |
garrison economy -- the economy of Gaza. Are you prepared to accept | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
that? TRANSLATION: Irrespective of the mechanism, we must lift the | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
siege on Gaza. We have had promises in the past, but nothing was done. | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
Gaza is a part of the Palestinian land. 1.8 million people live there. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
They need to live without a blockade. They need a port and an | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
airport. The need to open up to the world. This is the biggest prison in | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
the world. They cannot get medical treatment. Why are the people being | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
punished? This is a crime. We want an end to this siege. We will accept | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
clear up clause is about a cease-fire. We are eager that the | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
bloodshed should stop. You talk of resistance. How can any idea of | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
resistance justify putting rockets in a school building? TRANSLATION: | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
This is a lie, frankly. With respect, this is not something which | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
has come from Israel. This is the UN aid relief agency who are saying | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
that up to 20 rockets were deposited in a school building inside Gaza. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
They are furious. The Secretary-General of the United | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Nations has expressed his outrage. He has said those responsible are | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
turning schools into potential military targets and endangering the | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
lives of innocent children. TRANSLATION: This is not true. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Rocket launches belong to the resistance. They are underground. | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
Israel is hitting hospitals, mosques, towers and buildings. It | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
committed massacre. The world has witnessed another massacre. This is | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
a butchery in Gaza. The world is sitting idle and it blames how Mars. | :08:05. | :08:14. | |
-- Hamas. More now on the deaths of | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
at least 15 people after One of the UN's spokesman in Gaza | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
said the Israeli military were aware that civilians were sheltering | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
in the UN run school that was hit. The Israelis were formally passed | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
the precise coordinates of the school, just as they have the | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
precise coordinates of all of our installations in Gaza. We have spent | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
the day trying to arrange a window of opportunity so that civilians, | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
women and children, men who are not part of the conflict, could be | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
evacuated. We're joined now from Jerusalem | :08:50. | :08:50. | |
by the Israeli government Thank you for joining us. Firstly, | :08:51. | :09:05. | |
the question must be, would you accept or perhaps deny that this | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
strike was an Israeli strike? Well, to be brutally honest, we don't know | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
yet. Their investigation is still ongoing. We will get to the bottom | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
of it. It is a difficult conflict situation. Earlier on Twitter it | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
said that Hamas rockets were following in that area, so we cannot | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
rule that out, but we also cannot rule out that it was errant Israeli | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
fire. Given the degree to which you can talk about precision targeting, | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
you must surely know where your rockets are following? Yes, but in a | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
conflict situation the make the -- there might be an exchange of fire. | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
Original reports are saying that there was an exchange of fire. We | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
have been urging people to leave. There was a special humanitarian | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
corridor established to allow people to leave. We have information to | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
suggest that Hamas forced people to stay. It is possible there was a | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
situation of some sort of firefight with our forces. It could have been | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
Israeli fire. It would be a grave mistake and something which we do | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
not want to see. Robert Turner is saying four Israeli hits on four UN | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
site in four days. One is bound to come to the suspicion that you know | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
what you're doing and you know what you're getting. The head of Hamas | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
was denying that rockets were being placed on these buildings, would you | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
consider that a legitimate military target if they were using rocket | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
launchers on those sites? The Secretary-General himself says, when | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
they put rockets and their war machine inside UN facilities, they | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
are endangering the lives of innocent civilians. That has to be | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
condemned. It has been condemned by the Secretary-General and he has | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
ordered an investigation as to how it is that UN institutions are being | :11:41. | :11:50. | |
turned into war zones. You would accept those as military targets? | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
That is not correct. In this situation, we ask people to leave. | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
It could have been errant fire, we are not sure. We do not target | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
civilians, I want to be clear on that. There is a public message that | :12:05. | :12:14. | |
Hamas wants to accuse us of terrible things. If the UN had not itself | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
said there was Hamas fire falling on that area, I would be accused of | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
issuing propaganda. But when the UN says there is Hamas fire following | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
on this area, let's be clear. Points taken. Thank you. | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
Aviation officials in Algeria say an Air Algeria flight has crashed. | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
150 people were on board, 50 of them French citizens. | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
The plane was flying from Ouagadougou Airport in Burkina Faso | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
But the French Government said the plane disappeared from radar | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
over eastern Mali, in an area to the north of the city of Gao. | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
Our correspondent Alex Duval Smith joins us from the capital Bamako. | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
Do we have any clear indication of precisely through this plane is? For | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
the first time, we have reports of wreckage having been spotted. What | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
is confusing is that they are coming from different sources and giving | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
different locations. The president of Mali has called for a minutes | :13:22. | :13:33. | |
silence. A group of editors were informed that wreckage had been | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
found near the town of Gao. There are reports that wreckage has been | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
found much further north. So not possible that it could be the same | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
explosion. Very far north. So, yes, I think it is beginning to look like | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
wreckage has been found, it is just that we need to know where the | :14:02. | :14:02. | |
location is. Thank you. More than 50 French citizens were | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
on board the Algerian Plane. French jet fighters are helping | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
to search for the plane. Hugh Schofield joins us now | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
from Paris. Obviously, traumatic for France, | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
given the numbers of passengers involved. Do we have a clear idea of | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
who these people were? Well, we know there were 51 French nationals on | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
board. there were 51 French nationals on | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
They could be nationals with relatives from Burkina Faso. They | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
could be people who are working out there. People on holiday. We really | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
don't know. Many other people who were not French nationals but were | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
coming to France as this flight was to connect in Algiers with other | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
flights on to France. Was here in Paris and in other French cities, | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
there are psychological units to help and comfort worried families. | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
Connecting flights were to have arrived this afternoon. Thank you. | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
The European Union has agreed to increase its sanctions | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
against Russia in response to the crisis in Ukraine. | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
The EU says it will now hit people and companies that support | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
Two more military aircraft carrying the remains of victims of | :15:28. | :15:39. | |
Malaysia Airlines flight 17 have landed in the Netherlands. | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
The Australian and Dutch planes arrived in Eindhoven. | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
298 people were killed in last week's crash, 194 of them Dutch. | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
Meanwhile, it's emerged that the crash site of | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
Flight MH17 has yet to be secured a week after the plane was shot down. | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
Tim Willcox is in Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine for us. | :15:53. | :16:04. | |
A week to the day since the flight was shot out of the sky and still | :16:05. | :16:16. | |
the crash site has not been sealed. Anyone can walk through there and | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
wreckage could be tampered with. Growing international concerns about | :16:22. | :16:31. | |
that. 50 Australian police officers have been dispatched to London, with | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
they hope an international force can be created. | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
When we arrived, there were no guards, no workers, the wreckage | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
still spread from miles. The smell of human remains. These left behind | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
by emergency workers, civilian volunteers | :16:57. | :16:56. | |
of human remains. These left behind by emergency and the militia. A | :16:57. | :17:10. | |
place open to any who passed by. For all the outrage expressed by the | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
international community, it has seemed powerless to ensure this site | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
is properly detected or due respect is shown to the remains of the dead. | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
With the war escalating, it becomes ever more difficult to ensure that | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
as a credible investigation. Australia has offered to send police | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
to protect investigators, who are waiting | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
in government-held territory. And then, at mid-morning, | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
a sight so familiar in war zones, those who will cross any front line | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
for the sake of humanity. The International Red Cross | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
arrived with a clear mission. Our role here is to just, | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
as I mentioned, to ensure the dignity of | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
the dead, the dignified management of the dead and the fulfilment | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
of the rights of the families. But fighting is still going | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
on nearby. Just 35 kilometres away, | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
rebels used missiles to bring down All talk of investigations | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
and recovery efforts must be seen A major challenge for European | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
observers who have been the most Is anybody in control? | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
I can't comment on this. It speaks for itself, doesn't it? | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
It looks like that, doesn't it? In the capital, Donetsk, | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
where observers are based, Here, looking for help from rebel | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
officials to escape the fighting. We heard a whistling noise | :18:39. | :18:50. | |
and then someone said get down, I lay on my child to protect him, | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
and the blast lifted us In the hands pressed to windows | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
of buses taking refugees to Russia Tim, as if all this isn't chaotic | :18:59. | :19:22. | |
enough, the government in Kiev is resigning, what impact will this | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
have? It will create even more uncertainty. The prime minister | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
resigned today, there have been scuffles in Parliament, brawls over | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
the last few weeks and months, but he resigned because he asked the | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
parliament to approve certain green laws to improve energy supplies to | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
try and fix this financial mess the country is in, and you wanted extra | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
funding for the Army, given the fighting in the east of the country. | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Parliament refused to do this, the coalition fell apart and it means | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
that there would have to be a new election. It could be a ploy to get | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
rid of some of the people in the parliament, the people he does not | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
ready what on his side, but it is a risk for the country and for the | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
president also, and it adds to the chaos here. Thank you. | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
Now a look at some of the days other news. | :20:20. | :20:22. | |

of Glasgow are well underway now, with some 4,000 sportsmen | :21:38. | :21:39. | |

BBC Sport's Nick Marshall McCormack is in Glasgow, he joins us now, | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
what are the highlights of day one? | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
The sunshine is shining for another day in Glasgow and those medals are | :21:55. | :22:08. | |
glimmering around the neck of those victorious. It started a Strathclyde | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
park this morning with the women's triathlon and that was won by Jodie | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
Stimpson. She beat the Canadian athlete. Vicky Holland from England | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
took bronze. In the men's triathlon, it was the Bramley brothers and | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
their battle from the 2012 Olympics. It was the Alistair Brownlee and | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
Jonny Brownlee battle. He beat Johnny who took silver. In the | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
velodrome, all of the action on Thursday afternoon, it has been loud | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
and raucous and Anna Mears, the Australian, she broke the | :22:41. | :22:44. | |

at the last Commonwealth Games. Stefanie Morton from Australia took | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
silver, Jessica Boenisch from England took the bronze. -- Jessica | :22:53. | :23:06. | |
varnish. In the women's para sport, Sophie Thornhill took the gold medal | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
from Scotland. Brandy O'Connor took the bronze model. That is the medal | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
tally so far today on Thursday, David. The bad news for the | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
organisers is that Mo Farah, the Olympic and world champion in the | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
5000 metres and 10,000 metres, he pulled out because of injury. That | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
was bad news for the organisers who were touting him as one of the big | :23:33. | :23:38. | |

fly from Cape Town to Amsterdam, A Royal Mail ship, two flights, | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
8,500 miles An incredible journey | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
and one not for the faint of heart. It's the only way to fulfil | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
the team's Commonwealth Games dream, will not be completed for another | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
two years. Is this your first trip away from | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
St Helena? No, I've been away a few times, | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
two previous games The party of eight did all | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
they could to stave off the boredom by | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
making a video documentary, playing games and even having a night out, | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
or should that be a night in?! Not the best preparation | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
for a major sporting event, In a few hours time, we will dock in | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
Cape Town, so we will see you all in Finally, on dry land, | :24:51. | :24:58. | |

surely, everyone agrees, after their epic journey, | :25:27. | :25:30. | |

bring from the Commonwealth Games, but it helps when the host nation | :25:47. | :25:50. | |

200 meter breaststroke final, he wasn't the fastest in the heats this | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
morning, and in the semifinals, he was beaten by Ross Murdock, its | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
compatriots. He is worried about him. Michael Jamieson has been | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
second to him a few times, and murder occurs been faster. Alan Tate | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
