:06:08. > :06:14.seat that tells us which way the wind is blowing. Today it was

:06:21. > :06:27.in government hands fell to the opposition with a whopping 7,000
:06:27. > :06:31.plus majority. No wonder he came to celebrate the first seat Labour had
:06:31. > :06:35.won from the Tories in a by- election for 15 years. This
:06:35. > :06:40.constituency has sent a very clear message to today. It has sent a
:06:40. > :06:44.message that it is putting its trust in a one-nation Labour Party
:06:44. > :06:48.and middle-England is turning away from David Cameron and the
:06:48. > :06:52.Conservatives. That wasn't all four top Labour also held on to save
:06:52. > :06:56.seats into other by-elections, in Manchester and Cardiff. But look at
:06:56. > :07:01.their faces, few Tories expected to hold Corby after their MP walked
:07:01. > :07:04.out, but defeat still hurt. They were happier with their success in
:07:04. > :07:09.the police commissioner elections in Wales and parts of northern
:07:09. > :07:13.England. Q listen carefully to what people are saying, but when I look
:07:13. > :07:17.at the country and see that Labour haven't won in Bristol, can't win
:07:17. > :07:21.in Swindon or the middle of Wales, it is a very mixed picture and
:07:21. > :07:24.shows there's no enthusiasm for the alternative. Her for Conservatives
:07:24. > :07:27.say this is a classic mid-term result, voters giving the
:07:27. > :07:30.government of the day a good kicking, but the lesson from Corby
:07:30. > :07:35.is that the Tories are vulnerable when squeezed by Labour from the
:07:35. > :07:39.left and UKIP from the right. UKIP came a strong third in Corby,
:07:40. > :07:43.picked up votes in police elections, votes they claimed showed people's
:07:43. > :07:46.frustration with the largest parties. Third place and our best-
:07:46. > :07:51.ever score in a British by-election so we are very, very pleased with
:07:51. > :07:55.what has happened in Corby and across the country. We are beating
:07:55. > :07:58.Philip Dems across the UK. For the Lib Dems, little joy. They lost
:07:58. > :08:03.their deposit in Corby and elsewhere across the country they
:08:03. > :08:08.made little progress. We are at a mid-term point in this government.
:08:08. > :08:12.There's a lot of difficult news at the moment, people generally are
:08:12. > :08:16.often quite disenchanted with politics at this point. I think
:08:16. > :08:20.that has been reflected in the low turnout. If there's one other story
:08:20. > :08:24.of the day it is that independent candidates did well. One becoming
:08:24. > :08:28.the first elected Mayor of Bristol and another 11 elected police
:08:28. > :08:34.commissioners as voters turned away from political parties. But in
:08:34. > :08:36.Corby Andy's Northamptonshire, many parties -- many voters turned away
:08:36. > :08:40.from the Tories'. A warning shot perhaps from middle-England across
:08:40. > :08:42.the government's bows. Here's a look at the overall
:08:42. > :08:45.Here's a look at the overall results. In the elections for
:08:45. > :08:47.Police and Crime commissioners in England and Wales, 40 out 41 areas
:08:47. > :08:55.have been declared. The Conservatives have 15 commissioners,
:08:55. > :08:57.Labour 13, and independent candidates 12. -- 11. The Liberal
:08:58. > :09:00.Democrats none. In the three parliamentary by-elections, Labour
:09:00. > :09:02.gained Corby from the Conservatives and held onto the seats of
:09:02. > :09:04.Manchester Central and Cardiff Manchester Central and Cardiff
:09:05. > :09:13.South & Penarth. Our political editor, Nick Robinson, is in
:09:13. > :09:17.Downing Street for us now. What sort of day was this for
:09:17. > :09:22.democracy? It is a day of firsts. The day of records and they are not
:09:22. > :09:26.good. The lowest turnout in a national election, the lowest
:09:26. > :09:32.turnout in a by-election outside of wartime, the first time anybody can
:09:32. > :09:37.remember that a whole polling station had not a single vote cast.
:09:37. > :09:42.Bad, therefore, for democracy, you might say. But some say, and some
:09:42. > :09:45.in Downing Street say, hold on a second. After all, they say, there
:09:45. > :09:50.are now democratically elected leaders, commissioners, who have
:09:50. > :09:54.some say over local policing. The test for democracy may not be the
:09:54. > :09:59.turnout, but whether those new commissioners to improve policing.
:09:59. > :10:04.In other words, whether people who did not vote today end up saying we
:10:04. > :10:10.wish we had, we will next time, if we don't want these posts scrapped.
:10:10. > :10:12.It is possible we will look back at this as a bad day. It is also
:10:12. > :10:17.possible that his is the beginning of a local experiment that catches
:10:17. > :10:21.on. When you look at the votes for the police commissioners and you
:10:21. > :10:26.also bear in mind for by-election results, what does that tell you
:10:26. > :10:31.about politics and the political significance? People like me have
:10:31. > :10:34.stood on this street and try to tell you that they know what this
:10:34. > :10:39.election in little Salsbury means for he was going to be in Downing
:10:39. > :10:43.Street. You can never read across in quite that way. There are some
:10:43. > :10:47.big things you know. This is not a popular government. The Lib Dems in
:10:48. > :10:52.particular found themselves beaten by UKIP in a by-election, beaten in
:10:52. > :10:56.the total number of votes in those police elections. The Tories said
:10:56. > :11:01.there was some good news, this is not the sort of result they wanted,
:11:01. > :11:06.even though they will smile at John Prescott's plight. The key is, and
:11:06. > :11:11.we am watching history, is whether this is like the 1980s in which
:11:11. > :11:14.governments bounce-back from mid- term problems, or like the 1970s,
:11:14. > :11:18.where governments last four or five years and then at argon and
:11:18. > :11:23.replaced. If it is, it is Ed Miliband you will see on their

:12:03. > :12:08.Today in Tel Aviv in the heart of Israel, sirens screamed again for
:12:08. > :12:14.people to take cover from rocket fire. The last 24 hours have come
:12:14. > :12:18.as quite a shock here. Even for the millionth Israelis living close to
:12:18. > :12:21.Gaza who say fear is part of their daily lives, mortar and rocket fire
:12:21. > :12:26.has increased dramatically. One young couple ventured out of the

:12:43. > :12:47.elsewhere. Israelis are feeling nervous, Tel Aviv is known for
:12:47. > :12:51.wealthy inhabitants, classy cafes and restaurants. Fouls -- those
:12:51. > :12:56.outside often mock people here for living in a bubble. If so, rockets
:12:56. > :13:03.from Gaza have now burst it. It is usually not close to you and now it
:13:03. > :13:07.is in the centre of Israel. It was very scary. Tel Aviv's seafront,
:13:07. > :13:10.emblematic of this, Israel's cultural and commercial capital.
:13:10. > :13:15.The handful of rockets that reached this far landed in the sea, the
:13:15. > :13:19.others caused hardly any damage, but the fact that Gaza militants
:13:19. > :13:25.are still able to fire me June range rockets and that got this far
:13:25. > :13:31.into his role for the first time despite Israel's mighty military
:13:31. > :13:36.saying it pounding weapons sites in Gaza has had a huge psychological
:13:36. > :13:41.impact. Just as we left to Le Viv, sirens wailed in Jerusalem, the
:13:41. > :13:45.first time in decades. Israel is sending troops into Gaza and

:14:23. > :14:31.scale war, they would be overwhelmed. I am exhausted. I

:14:55. > :15:01.Israel says it has launched more than three air strikes, some in
:15:01. > :15:06.residential areas. I have been crying, too much. By bombing this
:15:06. > :15:11.government building in the heart of Gaza City, Israel says it is
:15:11. > :15:15.attacking what it says is Hamas's terrorist infrastructure, but look
:15:15. > :15:21.how close this is to schools and homes or stop the potential for
:15:21. > :15:26.civilian casualties is very high. If Israel totally undermines

:16:01. > :16:07.rhetorical and political support and criticising Israel, and Turkey
:16:07. > :16:11.has waded in. Behind the scenes, they may be pushing for a ceasefire
:16:11. > :16:17.but I think that will give Hamas competence to carry on. The Middle
