:00:08. > :00:15.Tonight at ten, the UN demands full access to the site of the Ukrainian

:00:16. > :00:20.airline disaster. Four days after the crash of MH17 and the deaths of

:00:21. > :00:23.298 people, the UN calls for the bodies of the victims to be

:00:24. > :00:28.with respect. The rebels have finally allowed most

:00:29. > :00:33.of the bodies to be transported from the area by train, as the West

:00:34. > :00:39.increases the pressure on Russia. The weight of evidence is pointing

:00:40. > :00:44.in one direction. MH17 was shot down by an SA11 missile, fired by

:00:45. > :00:46.separatists. We'll have the latest from Ukraine and New York, where

:00:47. > :00:51.separatists. We'll have the latest UN Security Council met a short

:00:52. > :00:54.while ago. Also tonight, in Gaza, Palestinian officials say a hospital

:00:55. > :01:00.has been hit by Israeli fire, killing four and wounding dozens.

:01:01. > :01:04.After disapointeding sales, the Tesco boss agrees to step down after

:01:05. > :01:12.three years in the job. And the pressure on Captain Cook

:01:13. > :01:15.Cook, as England -- captain Alastair Cook.

:01:16. > :01:23.In London, subjected to sexual abuse four decades ago, a victim talks

:01:24. > :01:24.about his ordeal. How to solve the London housing crisis. The argument

:01:25. > :01:51.for building on the greenbelt. airline disaster in eastern Ukraine,

:01:52. > :01:58.the pro-Russian rebels have finally allowed most of the bodies to be

:01:59. > :02:01.transported from the area. Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 is believed to

:02:02. > :02:07.have been shot down last Thursday with the loss of 298 lives. A

:02:08. > :02:11.Ukrainian train carrying the bodies is heading out slowly. It is

:02:12. > :02:15.reported the rebels have agreed to hand over the black box flight

:02:16. > :02:18.recorders and the UN Security Council has tonight demanded full

:02:19. > :02:21.access to the crash site and a ceasefire in the area.

:02:22. > :02:21.Council has tonight demanded full access to the crash Our

:02:22. > :02:23.correspondent is access to the crash Our

:02:24. > :02:30.correspondent in eastern Ukraine and has just sent us this report.

:02:31. > :02:36.At 7. 30 local time, the train of the dead began the long journey back

:02:37. > :02:43.to their grieving families. Inside the cars, 280 individuals.

:02:44. > :02:51.They will travel into the night. Some time in the next few days be

:02:52. > :02:56.flown home to their countries. There was co-operation today from

:02:57. > :03:01.the rebels. Earlier the train was opened for international

:03:02. > :03:06.investigators. Forensic pathologists from the Netherlands. 193 of their

:03:07. > :03:12.citizens with r among those lying here. The custodians of order here,

:03:13. > :03:16.the militia led the Dutch team to the crash site. The Netherlands

:03:17. > :03:21.wants a war crimes prosecution. Evidence is still under militia

:03:22. > :03:25.control. And handled by emergency workers, untrained in forensic

:03:26. > :03:30.investigation. But the Dutch visit is progress and could be the result

:03:31. > :03:34.of pressure on the rebels' backer, President Putin, today, urging

:03:35. > :03:39.co-operation. TRANSLATION: All people who answer

:03:40. > :03:44.should show more responsibility for the sake of their own people and the

:03:45. > :03:51.people from other countries who were affected by this catastrophe.

:03:52. > :03:56.But the war that led to the MH17 tragedy escalated today. These

:03:57. > :04:04.Ukrainian tanks are on their way towards the rebel captain, Donetsk.

:04:05. > :04:07.An aircraft fired flares to avoid surface-to-air missiles and from the

:04:08. > :04:13.country's Prime Minister, a warning for Russia's leader.

:04:14. > :04:21.Putin is to realise is enough is enough. This is not the conflict

:04:22. > :04:26.between Ukraine and Russia. This is an international and global

:04:27. > :04:35.conflict. In Donetsk today, we saw the

:04:36. > :04:40.civilians fleeing. This, as international experts were

:04:41. > :04:46.expected in the city. An attack against these rebels by

:04:47. > :04:54.the Ukrainian army - we found them angry and nervous.

:04:55. > :04:59.That kind of fire is a real example of the kind of insecurity which is

:05:00. > :05:03.pervasive here and it is impossible to guarantee the security of

:05:04. > :05:06.international experts, even here in Donetsk. When you have that kind of

:05:07. > :05:13.fighting with I can break out anywhere, any time.

:05:14. > :05:19.The man had simply moved too slowly for the gunman's liking. He was free

:05:20. > :05:24.to treat him as he wished. A rebel sniper fired. We saw where a

:05:25. > :05:28.rocket had landed, in the playground of an apartment complex. Three

:05:29. > :05:32.people were killed here. That report just in from eastern

:05:33. > :05:37.Ukraine. Well, the worldwide chorus of

:05:38. > :05:41.condemnation directed at Russia is growing by the day. Today the UN

:05:42. > :05:44.Security Council passed a resolution demanding access to the crash site

:05:45. > :05:48.and a ceasefire around the area. Earlier David Cameron said the

:05:49. > :05:52.weight of evidence for the plane crash pointed in one direction and

:05:53. > :05:55.he warned the Kremlin that unless it ended support for the rebels in

:05:56. > :06:00.Ukraine, the West would make its power felt. Our political editor

:06:01. > :06:04.Nick Robinson reports on the international response to the

:06:05. > :06:09.Malaysian airline disaster. A minute, not of silence, but of

:06:10. > :06:11.Malaysian airline disaster. A applause for two Newcastle United

:06:12. > :06:16.fans, who flew away from home, but never came back.

:06:17. > :06:22.John Alder and Liam Sweeney, victims of someone else's war. Liam's dad

:06:23. > :06:26.said today at St James's park he didn't want to blame anyone, he

:06:27. > :06:30.simply wanted his kid back. If somebody asked what I would say to

:06:31. > :06:35.Mr Putin, do now, talk later. Let our relatives out. Our families come

:06:36. > :06:39.home. He might not have been blaming anyone, but in the Commons, the

:06:40. > :06:43.Prime Minister certainly was. The world is watching and President

:06:44. > :06:47.Putin faces a clear choice in how he decides to respond to this appalling

:06:48. > :06:51.tragedy. I hope that he will use this moment to find a path out of

:06:52. > :06:56.this festering and dangerous crisis by ending Russia's support for the

:06:57. > :07:00.separatists. They, he said, had been armed and trained by a thuggish

:07:01. > :07:05.militia, who with President Putin's backing were trying to destabilise

:07:06. > :07:10.Ukraine. If Russia does not change course we must be clear that Europe

:07:11. > :07:14.must increase the pressure. Russia cannot expect enjoying access to

:07:15. > :07:19.European markets, European capitals, European knowledge and technical

:07:20. > :07:22.expertise while she fuels conflict. Minutes later, President Obama

:07:23. > :07:27.strode out of the White House, warning that further sanctions might

:07:28. > :07:33.follow. And demanded to know, what exactly are they trying to hide?

:07:34. > :07:38.Given its direct influence over the separatists, Russia and President

:07:39. > :07:42.Putin, in particular, has direct responsibility to compel them to

:07:43. > :07:47.co-operate with the investigation. Please raise their hands... At the

:07:48. > :07:52.UN tonight, Russia did not use her veto. The Security Council

:07:53. > :07:57.unanimously adopted a resolution, demanding those responsible be held

:07:58. > :08:01.to account and all states co-operate fully with efforts to establish

:08:02. > :08:05.accountability. The UK and the United States are trying to turn up

:08:06. > :08:09.the pressure on Europe to extend sanctions against Russia, which

:08:10. > :08:14.began before the crash of flight MH17. So far, high-profile

:08:15. > :08:18.individuals close to Putin have been targeted with visa bans and asset

:08:19. > :08:22.freezes. Last week, America went further, stopping their companies

:08:23. > :08:26.from providing dollars to Russian firms, such as the energy giant

:08:27. > :08:31.Rosneft. The question now is whether the EU will agree to further trade

:08:32. > :08:35.sanctions. Joining the calls or EU leaders to go further was Ed

:08:36. > :08:38.Miliband, who visited the White House tonight for a meeting the

:08:39. > :08:43.President. I am afraid what's been done so far has been proved to be

:08:44. > :08:47.inadequate and I think that we need to show and follow the lead that's

:08:48. > :08:51.been taken by President Obama and Europe needs to step up. The

:08:52. > :08:56.rhetoric against Russia has been strong here and in Washington. There

:08:57. > :09:00.is no great expectation that the actions taken in Brussels today will

:09:01. > :09:03.be equally -- tomorrow will be equally strong. The reasons

:09:04. > :09:07.economic, sometimes oil, sometimes the need for Russian money,

:09:08. > :09:11.sometimes the need for trade. There is one other reason though, the

:09:12. > :09:17.simple desire that nothing should get in the way of the bodies of

:09:18. > :09:23.loved ones finally making their way home.

:09:24. > :09:32.Let's go to the UN in New York. The resolution we talked about. What

:09:33. > :09:36.does it amount to in your view? Well, raising your hand in support

:09:37. > :09:40.of a resolution, as Russia did today, is a different thing from

:09:41. > :09:44.lifting a finger to actually do anything. America, Britain and

:09:45. > :09:47.Australia, who drafted this resolution, say they are not naive,

:09:48. > :09:51.they are not stupid. What happened here in New York this afternoon,

:09:52. > :09:55.where Russia supported this resolution is less important than

:09:56. > :09:58.actually than what happens on the ground. America's ambassador said

:09:59. > :10:02.there should not have been a need for this resolution, Russia could

:10:03. > :10:07.have used its influence four days ago to get unfetterred access to the

:10:08. > :10:12.crash site and its failure to condemn the separatist rebels from

:10:13. > :10:17.what was called their obstructive behaviour sent them a powerful

:10:18. > :10:23.message, that the Kremlin has your backs. That is one of the reasons

:10:24. > :10:26.why President Obama today raised the spectre of additional sanctions and

:10:27. > :10:31.said to European nations, you need to do the same as well. The Security

:10:32. > :10:34.Council, the chamber has felt more like a courtroom these past four

:10:35. > :10:40.days. Vladimir Putin tonight is still very much in the dock.

:10:41. > :10:45.Thanks very much. Nick Bryant with the latest from New York at the UN.

:10:46. > :10:50.Well, the UK and the US have really stopped short of placing direct

:10:51. > :10:56.blame on Moscow for the crash. The US Secretary of State, John Kerry,

:10:57. > :11:00.has spoken of what he called Russia's complicity. David Cameron

:11:01. > :11:04.talked about the weight of evidence pointing in one direction in

:11:05. > :11:06.relation to the pro-Russian rebels. Our security correspondent has been

:11:07. > :11:08.examining the Our security correspondent has been

:11:09. > :11:12.how the crash happened. Our security correspondent has been

:11:13. > :11:17.The flight data recorders have been in rebel hands for days. Could they

:11:18. > :11:19.have been tampered with? Even if not they may only show something

:11:20. > :11:25.everyone knows they may only show something

:11:26. > :11:29.What they won't answer is the they may only show something

:11:30. > :11:33.Both sides have the same missile system thought to have downed the

:11:34. > :11:36.jet. Who fired? Today, the Prime Minister told Parliament

:11:37. > :11:39.jet. Who fired? Today, the Prime convinced who was to blame.

:11:40. > :11:45.The picture is becoming clearer. And the weight of evidence is pointing

:11:46. > :11:49.in one direction. MH17 was shot down by an SA11 missile, fired by

:11:50. > :11:53.separatists. What is the intelligence that makes the Prime

:11:54. > :11:57.Minister so confident? He said there was evidence that over the last

:11:58. > :12:01.month, the Russians had been supplying heavy weaponry and

:12:02. > :12:06.providing training to separatists, including on air defence systems. He

:12:07. > :12:11.said moments before contact was lost with MH17, a launch was detected of

:12:12. > :12:15.an SA11 missile from separatist territory. He said communications

:12:16. > :12:19.had been intercepted, including one in which a separatist leader talked

:12:20. > :12:23.of another faction, downing an aircraft.

:12:24. > :12:27.And he pointed to this - a video that appeared on social media,

:12:28. > :12:32.apparently showing an SA11 missile launcher heading back to Russia and

:12:33. > :12:39.missing at least one missile. In Moscow today though, a competing

:12:40. > :12:46.narrative. Russian defence said that Russian defence systems were in the

:12:47. > :12:51.area and a fighter jet was near the plane. The scene from the air. The

:12:52. > :12:55.intelligence may be detailed but it's not the same as definitive

:12:56. > :12:59.forensic evidence from the ground. That may be hard to collect from a

:13:00. > :13:07.war zone and without it the Russians may try to hold to their line.

:13:08. > :13:11.In Gaza, Palestinian officials say a hospital has been hit by Israeli

:13:12. > :13:16.fire, killing at least five people and wounding dozens more. The death

:13:17. > :13:20.toll in Gaza, in the conflict over the past two weeks has reached 550.

:13:21. > :13:24.The Israelly military said that Hamas had killed seven Israeli

:13:25. > :13:30.soldiers in the past 24 hours. Rockets are still being fired from

:13:31. > :13:34.Gaza into Israel. Our chief correspondent has been to a

:13:35. > :13:42.hospital, in one of the towns where Palestinians had been advised by for

:13:43. > :13:55.their own safety. place of chaos and death. Israeli

:13:56. > :14:03.tank shells hit the hospital. And the shells kept landing in the area.

:14:04. > :14:11.Patients were rushed out to be taken to a safer place, oxygen and all.

:14:12. > :14:18.Nowhere is safe in the Gaza Strip, he says. Doctors were performing

:14:19. > :14:23.surgery and a shell amputated a nurse's hand. In the intensive care

:14:24. > :14:35.unit, two patients were killed in their beds. Israel blames Hamas for

:14:36. > :14:44.this tragedy. It says Hamas was storing weapons next to this

:14:45. > :14:47.hospital. Officials arrived at the scene to inspect the damage. We are

:14:48. > :14:51.calling for all parties to bring out hospitals health facilities out of

:14:52. > :14:57.the conflict. We cannot have these facilities be part of the conflict

:14:58. > :15:03.otherwise people will not find any place to get the cure, to get

:15:04. > :15:08.remedy. In eastern Gaza today, fighting was fierce. Israel

:15:09. > :15:14.continues a ground offensive, it said, is targeting Hamas'

:15:15. > :15:20.underground tunnels. Tens of thousands of people have fled the

:15:21. > :15:26.area. Just beyond this bend in this street is the frontline in some of

:15:27. > :15:30.the worst fighting now in this war. Where the Israelis launched their

:15:31. > :15:37.biggest ground offensive yesterday is on one side of the road. The

:15:38. > :15:43.other is now coming under increased Israeli shelling. Yet some people

:15:44. > :15:48.are deciding not to. A few streets away, I meet this man who heads a

:15:49. > :15:54.family of 45. There's no water in the taps, not much electricity. They

:15:55. > :16:01.can't even cook bread. This is what dinner looks like, when you have

:16:02. > :16:08.many mouths to feed. But it's home. TRANSLATION: We received Israeli

:16:09. > :16:14.warnings, but where to go? The whole Gaza Strip is just a small box. It

:16:15. > :16:25.doesn't even have a place on the map. But what about all these

:16:26. > :16:28.children? Dima is four and Shahira three. They have already lived

:16:29. > :16:35.through to wars. It's all they've ever known.

:16:36. > :16:39.Israel's Defence Minister says the offence any Gaza will continue as

:16:40. > :16:45.long as necessary to stop the Hamas rocket attacks. Israel's air defence

:16:46. > :16:49.system has ensured that Israel has only suffered two civilian

:16:50. > :16:53.fatalities so far, despite thousands of rockets being fired. The Israeli

:16:54. > :16:56.military has intercepted Hamas fighters trying to enter Israel

:16:57. > :17:03.using underground tunnels. Our world affairs editor, John Simpson, has

:17:04. > :17:06.sent this report from Israel's boreder Gaza.

:17:07. > :17:12.Beneath this quiet landscape, between Gaza and Israel, Hamas has

:17:13. > :17:19.been working away for months, sometimes years, digging tunnels. At

:17:20. > :17:22.6am, an Israeli team watched from hiding as Hamas infiltrators dug

:17:23. > :17:28.their way to the surface and opened fire. But they didn't stand a

:17:29. > :17:35.chance. At least ten members of the Hamas team were killed. These

:17:36. > :17:38.tunnels are impressive, a real feat of engineering. The BBC was allowed

:17:39. > :17:43.to film inside this one recently, after it was discovered. The

:17:44. > :17:51.Israelis afterwards make sure the tunnels can't be used again. A few

:17:52. > :17:56.hours after this morning's operation against the Hamas infiltrators, a

:17:57. > :18:02.top government minister came to congratulate the soldiers who'd

:18:03. > :18:06.carried it out. This is the most doffish member of the Israeli

:18:07. > :18:10.cabinet, plainly worried about the casualties on both sides. I have to

:18:11. > :18:13.say it to you in these terms: Are you going to carry on killing

:18:14. > :18:18.civilians, including women and children, in quite large numbers,

:18:19. > :18:23.until you get what you want? We are not looking for civilians to kill.

:18:24. > :18:30.We are trying to avoid this. If you think that we want to send our

:18:31. > :18:35.soldiers, to all these places in which they're being killed, you are

:18:36. > :18:41.mistaken. This is one reason why casualties on the two sides are so

:18:42. > :18:47.out prove portion. Israel has developed the world's most effective

:18:48. > :18:51.antimissile defence. The Iron Dome system's ability to knock Hamas

:18:52. > :18:56.missiles out of the sky has been a remarkable achievement for Israel

:18:57. > :19:02.during this crisis. The success rate is quite phenomenal, even so, there

:19:03. > :19:07.are missiles which get through. One of those landed close by here this

:19:08. > :19:14.morning, but the family had taken shelter and scarcely any damage was

:19:15. > :19:19.done. They take it all stoically. We're here to stay. It's our As she

:19:20. > :19:25.home. Spoke death and destruction were raining down in Gaza, only 20

:19:26. > :19:31.miles away, but a different world. All the same, there are funerals of

:19:32. > :19:38.soldiers every day here now. 13 killed yesterday, seven more today.

:19:39. > :19:44.Here they were burying an Israeli of Ethiopian origin. The scale of

:19:45. > :19:54.Israeli and Palestinian deaths may be utterly different, but Israel is

:19:55. > :20:00.paying a heavy price as well. Let's go live to Gaza City and Lyse

:20:01. > :20:03.Doucet is there for us. When I said earlier, the Israelis saying they

:20:04. > :20:07.will carry on as long as necessary to stop the Hamas rocket attacks, do

:20:08. > :20:13.you detect any signs that there's a hope of a coming together in the

:20:14. > :20:17.next few days or weeks, or not? Well, when there's such a high price

:20:18. > :20:23.being paid on both sides, particularly here in the Gaza Strip,

:20:24. > :20:26.the world's would-be mediators can't stand idly by so there has been a

:20:27. > :20:30.rush to the region. Secretary of State, John Kerry, is arriving in

:20:31. > :20:33.Cairo tonight. There was a time when Washington arrived and everyone

:20:34. > :20:36.would listen. Not any more. There was a time when Egypt had the sway

:20:37. > :20:42.to try to make a difference in this conflict, not any more. Secretary

:20:43. > :20:49.Kerry's first task is to establish who's been doing what. Mediation is

:20:50. > :20:54.now going through Doha, Istanbul, Cairo, Ramallah, Gaza, Jerusalem,

:20:55. > :20:58.Tel Aviv. Some of these countries don't talk to each other. They have

:20:59. > :21:02.to find a compromise, most of all, that what the Israelis and Hamas

:21:03. > :21:06.will need in order to get out of this crisis. It's not clear at this

:21:07. > :21:11.point. Thank you very much. Lyse Doucet for us in Gaza City

:21:12. > :21:15.tonight. Now, Tesco's chief executive, Philip

:21:16. > :21:19.Clarke, has agreed to stand down after three years in charge. He's

:21:20. > :21:24.been replaced by an executive from Unilever. It follows another profits

:21:25. > :21:28.warning from Tesco after its worst sales performance in years. Their

:21:29. > :21:33.market share has fallen to 29% after being squeezed by budget riflingz

:21:34. > :21:36.including Lidl and Aldi. In the last financial year the company's profits

:21:37. > :21:40.fell by 6%. Our business editor reports on Tesco's rather sudden

:21:41. > :21:46.change of leadership. They were about to celebrate Philip

:21:47. > :21:50.Clarke's Tesco birthday. He had been at the retailer 40 years. But today,

:21:51. > :21:54.those plans have been snuffed out, as Tesco prepares for a new leader

:21:55. > :21:58.to try and turn the struggling business around. Shareholders say

:21:59. > :22:03.the retailer needs a fresh pair of eyes. If you've been in a company

:22:04. > :22:07.which has been successful for a very long period of time, you're not
