It was meant to last three days, but the humanitarian ceasefire | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
in Gaza collapsed, just hours after it began, | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
It followed a heavy exchange of fire, in the southern city of Rafah, | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
where at least 53 Palestinians were killed and 200 wounded. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Two Israeli soldiers have been killed and one is | :01:42. | :01:43. | |

has some happy news. We hope failed IVF treatment and that at | :02:35. | :02:48. | |
we have to take a risk after this disaster in Gaza Strip. But what | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
kind of life awaits these children? One-day-old and born into this | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
world. This is what is left of this area on the boundary with Israel. It | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
has been pounded for more than three weeks. By mid-morning, as word of | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
the cease-fire was spreading, it sprang back into life. The UN said | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
more than a quarter of the population of Gaza has been | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
displaced. Food, water and power are in short supply. People are using | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
this brief lull in the fighting to return to their homes, and many are | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
finding them completely flattened. They are picking up what they can | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
and heading to seek shelter. All the while there is a stench of dead | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
bodies, still trapped under the rubble. But the cease-fire was over | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
almost as soon as it had started. More Israeli | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
almost as soon as it had started. Palestinian rockets. At | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
almost as soon as it had started. Palestinians were killed today and | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
many more wounded. And then from Rafah in the south of Gaza, the news | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
that would see this Rafah in the south of Gaza, the news | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
even further. An Israeli soldier suspected to have been captured | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
alive by Hamas fighters after crossing the border through a | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
tunnel. Israel said one fighter detonated a suicide belt as he | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
emerged from underground. Two soldiers were killed and a | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
23-year-old was dragged back into Gaza. TRANSLATION: We want to | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
support the army and the state of Israel in the fight against Hamas | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
and we are certain that the army will not stop and will not leave a | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
and we are certain that the army stone unturned in strip and will | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
bring him back home safe and sound. Hamas will see this as a dig resort. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
It took more than five years to free the last soldier captured, Gilad | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Shalit. Israel has said it will respond with crushing force. People | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
in Gaza are preparing for this tiny strip of land to be hammered. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
STUDIO: The war of words and blame for who | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
is responsible for breaking the Earlier I spoke top the Israeli | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
government spokesman Mark Regev, ceasefire has intensified today. We | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
were not conducting any offensive operations whatsoever against Hamas | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
in Gaza. There was an unprovoked attack on the soldiers. Two of our | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
soldiers were killed and others injured and I am afraid one seems to | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
have been kidnapped. By breaking this cease-fire, they killed | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Israelis, not only slammed the door shut on diplomatic solutions, but | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
they have unfortunately destroyed the chance for the people of Gaza | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
receiving the humanitarian help that they need. There was supposed to be | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
a three-day period of cease-fire, to allow the people of Gaza to get that | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
humanitarian support they needed. And this shows what Hamas thinks | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
about the people of Gaza and what their agenda is. | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
But Palestinian spokeman Husam Zomlot says the Israeli | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
action targets civilians and is not directed solely | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
This is not against Hamas. It is against the entire Palestinian | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
people. It did not start in Gaza. It started here. We have got no rockets | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
on the West Bank. Yet Israel kills every day. Including today! And | :06:34. | :06:43. | |
therefore we have two do today... He is engaged, Binyamin Netanyahu in | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
the liquidation of everything. Our children, are women, how electricity | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
and even powered humanity. We need to stop him from spreading venom, as | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
if we want our children to die. No, for 70 years we have been fighting | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
for life! The head of the | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
World Health Organisation has said the Ebola outbreak | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
in West Africa is moving faster than Margaret Chan was speaking in | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
Guinea, of the West African countries that | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
have been affected. The WHO has announced $100 million | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
initiative to tackle the outbreak, which has killed more than seven | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
hundred people in Guinea, Dr Oliver Johnson is in | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Sierra Leone, where a public health He spoke to us from just outside | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
the Ebola Isolation unit Dr Oliver Johnson. And we are joined | :07:33. | :08:51. | |
now from Geneva. A $100 million programme but what will it be spent | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
on? We need extra doctors, nurses and experts in communications in | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
order to get the patients getting into the health facilities, many | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
people are not coming into health facilities at all and staying in | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
their communities. They need to change the transmission | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
arrangement. They are preparing neighbouring countries to be ready | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
to detect outbreaks and treat people in the country that are infected. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
These are some of the key measures we are trying to address. This is a | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
$100 million programme support. And a big information campaign as well. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
People are getting infected by preparing bodies for burial. This is | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
right. An information campaign is informing people that are preparing | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
the bodies of people that have passed away through this illness and | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
this is key. Some people might have family members at home that are | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
infected and they have to get to hospital. That makes it possible | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
otherwise for transmission to continue. The earlier they can get | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
to health facilities the better. The better chance we have got of | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
stopping the transmission of the outbreak. How big a threat is Ebola | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
internationally? Some people say that it is not that fatal compared | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
to other major illnesses and maybe you are overreacting. The | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
transmission of this disease is very difficult to come by. It is people | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
to people. Not airborne. To come into contact, you have to be | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
touching, in contact with probably the fluid of people infected. The | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
blood, the sweat, even the bile in some cases. It is hard to be | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
infected. But at the same time there is a lot of concern about this | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
virus. Because of everything associated with it, people are not | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
coming forward. It is causing a lot of concern. And people need to be | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
aware that this outbreak can be controlled. An intensified effort is | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
needed with the help start available in these countries to turn that | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
outbreak around, and more are needed. Thank you very much for | :11:26. | :11:29. | |

upside down, including a fire engine responding to reports of a possible | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
gas leak. Five fire-fighters were among the people killed. The | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
explosions occurred just before midnight, sparking several fires. | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
explosions occurred just before Most of the people killed, or | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
injured were on the street and the time. Some came out because they | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
smelt a strong odour. Others were just passing through on their way | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
home. Many of the survivors were still in shock. The windows of homes | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
and businesses were completely shattered. This lady said the | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
explosion was so powerful it knocked her off her chair. This man said he | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
and others tried to clear the rubbish from the streets to make way | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
for the ambulances and fire trucks but he was told to leave because it | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
was not safe. Kaohsiung is now the centre of a's at a chemical | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
industry. The offer suspect the main cause of the last is a chemical leak | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
from one of the many pipelines belonging to petrochemical | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
companies. As excavators work to clear the streets, hazardous | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
materials specialists try to detect for unsafe levels of chemicals. Many | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
residents are worried. With many petrol companies' pipelines believed | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
to run under the city streets and some of them believed to be | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
decades-old, they fear more explosions could occur. | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
Here in the UK, a pioneering project which aims to revolutionise | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
The aim is to map 100,000 complete DNA codes in the hope | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
of better understanding and combating cancer and rare diseases. | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
The British Government wants the country to be a world leader | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
If you look at the whole population, one in 17 as a rare | :15:42. | :15:55. | |
disease which is little understood. For them and thousands more | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
diagnosed with cancer every year, the announcement could pave the way | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
for a much better understanding of their condition and how they might | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
be treated. A major new investment at the centre near Cambridge will | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
hold the key. Mapping one patient's genetic structure used to take | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
years, now at labs like this it is done in days and that will | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
revolutionise some areas of medicine. This is about a national | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
reservoir of data that will make this country and the NHS the leader | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
in designing the drugs or tomorrow. The genome is an individual's | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
personal genetic code, mapped from DNA samples taken from blood or | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
tissue, using the genome and comparing it with other members of | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
their family may indicate whether a condition is hereditary. For | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
patients of cancer, healthy and tumour cells can be compared. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
Long-term, that could help doctors decide which new drugs might work | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
best. The process has provided peace of mind to this woman, who has a | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
serious condition affecting her blood pressure. After tests, she now | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
knows her daughters have not inherited it. For me, it was a, and | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
for my family, to know whether I might pass it on to my children. My | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
girls are 19 and 21. They were keen to know that I carried the gene for | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
it. There is clearly great excitement in the scientific | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
community about the work going on here. But patients will want to be | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
assured that the personal genetic data is stored securely and is not | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
potentially available for outside martial interests. Where will the | :17:43. | :17:51. | |
data go? Will the patients have to trust those decisions or well they | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
know? Will be no dead data is being used to cure this type of cancer and | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
that type of hereditary disease? Project chiefs said the data will be | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
made only two accredited medical researchers and not insurance | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
companies, but they have been urged to make clear to patients who will | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
see the data and what it will be used for. | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
The diaries of one of Britain's most famous war poets, Siegfried Sassoon, | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
provide an intimate insight into life in the trenches | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
Now for the first time, thousands of his personal papers, some still | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
bearing mud from the Somme, have been digitised and put online | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
The project has been launched to coincide with the 100th anniversary | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
John Mills is in as expert on the works of Sassoon | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
and catalogued the archive when the university bought it in 2009. | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
I was looking through today, it is just stunning. You feel so close to | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
Sassoon and the moments when he was writing all this down. That's right, | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
the virtue of a digitised project is that it gives us images of the pages | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
themselves. So we are not reading a printed version, we're looking at | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
high-definition photographs. You can zoom in on them. Sassoon was writing | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
in very small journals, which he had to keep his writing in. Sometimes, | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
he would write in pencil and then rub out and go over it in ink. With | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
these images, you can examine the writing even more closely. What did | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
you learn, that was new about Siegfried Sassoon? From handling the | :19:39. | :19:48. | |
original documents, you learn that they show how he combined his roles | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
as soldier and poet, because he was a creative artist, first and | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
foremost a writer, he had been writing before the war, and his | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
life's work was to turn his experience into words. But he was | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
also in charge of men in battle. So he had to combine those roles and | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
with the journals, you get extra of different types of writing. You have | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
one page a diary entry, you turn the page and you have the first draft of | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
the poem perhaps dealing with the same experience as the diary. The | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
about. Turn the page again and you get a list of his troops. Although | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
he used his diaries from both ends, and you cannot be sure that there is | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
a sequential in time between one page or another, the variety of | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
material shows you how he experienced the war as it was coming | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
past him. I was interested to see that the first draft of one of his | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
most famous poems and what he chose to take out of that before it was | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
published. It is a fascinating one, from a volume that was given to | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
him, he was using it to write fair copies of his poems. He would write | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
it out in his best handwriting in that book. With that page, you see | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
four mines which he has scored through heavily and put in the | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
margin, cut this out. It makes the poem more effective because | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
margin, cut this out. It makes the two lines of the published version, | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
you are too young to fall asleep forever, it is a powerful. The lines | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
he has cut out are really rather poetically ineffective | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
he has cut out are really rather excising them, he has come | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
he has cut out are really rather better piece of work. Although | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
sometimes when we talk about Sassoon taking things out of his poems, we | :21:43. | :21:43. | |
think taking things out of his poems, we | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
censorship, but in fact like any other creative artist, he | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
censorship, but in fact like any to make as good a piece of work as | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
he can. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
and the death toll continues to mount. | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
For more, we can now cross to Lord Levy, | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
America could end this now, why isn't it? | :22:15. | :22:39. | |
America could end this now, why entrenched. Israel's anxiety has | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
been deepened, a soldier being kidnapped, more rockets, more | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
tunnels they had discovered, that they really didn't know where they | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
are. -- that they didn't know about. And the people are | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
traumatised. Europol... If I may, please. A Palestinian people who are | :23:05. | :23:14. | |
also traumatised, and where there is just death, families being wiped | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
out, children, women, the whole situation is such today, that with | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
the cease-fire being in operation for such a short period of time, | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
somehow, the flames have to be calmed down. This situation has to | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
be stopped. And the patrons of both sides need to come in and help to | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
calm the situation down. Are you appalled by the civilian | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
casualties? I cannot hear you, I am sorry. Are you appalled by the | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
civilian version of these? If you were acting for Tony Blair, would | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
you be putting pressure on the Israeli authorities not to use such | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
blunt force in such heavily populated areas? OK. I am appalled | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
by war. I am appalled by rockets being fired. I am appalled by | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
tunnels being built in order that they can in full trait and kill | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
people. -- infiltrate. I am appalled by hatred, by the want to destroy | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
and kill other people. I am also appalled by the death of the -- on | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
the Palestinian side, young children not given the opportunity of life. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
Families being wiped out. This is also horrendous. I am appalled by | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
the hatred and the vitriol and the desire, somehow, that death can be | :24:52. | :25:00. | |
just so easy. Why is Hamas so hell-bent on destruction of Israel? | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
Why does Israel have to go in and do what it is doing? It is because both | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
sides need to find a way forward, out of this chaos. Israel has to | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
have security, and its people feel that they are not good to have | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
neighbours around them who want their destruction is -- | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
destruction, and the Palestinian people absolutely must believe that | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
they have a way forward and their result for them. One more question, | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
if I may. Where is the man who appointed you, Tony Blair, is he in | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
the region? Is he trying to broker some sort of cease-fire? I spoke to | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
Tony on Thursday and I spoke to him in Jerusalem. But let me just say | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
this, I was his envoy for nine years. What he does, he does. And I | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
hope he does it well. What I do, I do, and I hope I do that well. So, | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
it is not for me to decide what Tony Blair now does or does not do. He | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
does not spend a great deal of time in the region with all those other | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
interests, does he? I do not keep his diary, nor do I have any idea of | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
where he spends his time. Thank you very much for joining us. | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
That is our main story. The cease-fire which was brokered | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
between Hamas and Israel which was meant to last three days broke up in | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
just five hours. This is Beit Hanoun on the border, completely | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
devastated. More from us in a moment. | :26:50. | :26:51. |
