:01:23. > :01:25.Israel's bombing of more than 200 sites, including its government

:01:37. > :01:42.This afternoon, the Israel military released this video of an air
:01:42. > :01:45.strike on a large building in the heart of Gaza city. One of more
:01:45. > :01:51.than 200 attacks across the Palestinian territory. And this was
:01:51. > :01:56.the same building today. The now flattened headquarters of the Hamas
:01:56. > :02:00.Prime Minister in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh. He was not in the building
:02:00. > :02:04.because like other Hamas leaders, he is in hiding, after receiving
:02:04. > :02:09.direct flets from Israel. After hitting 850 targets over four days,

:02:13. > :02:17.If this operation was all about protecting Israeli civilians, is
:02:17. > :02:21.that phase almost finished? And is Israel now determined to undermine
:02:21. > :02:26.Hamas as a political organisation as well?
:02:26. > :02:31.But targeting Hamas officials puts civilians at risk. Another bombed
:02:31. > :02:38.site today in Jabalia, the most crowded part of the Gaza Strip.

:03:03. > :03:07.Israel is making the most of its air superiority. Only then would it
:03:07. > :03:12.contemplate a ground assault. There is renewed talk of a ceasefire
:03:12. > :03:18.tonight. But if that fails, and if Israel invades, with a wider
:03:18. > :03:26.assault on Hamas, there maybe many more deaths here.
:03:26. > :03:32.Well, hundreds of rockets have been fired into Israel since Wednesday.
:03:32. > :03:36.One was shot down by Israel's Iron Dome defence system. The Israeli
:03:36. > :03:42.military have been massing tanks and other armoured vehicles at the
:03:42. > :03:45.bored we are Gaza. Slow but steady Israel's military
:03:45. > :03:49.build-up close to Gaza points to a looming ground operation. Israel
:03:49. > :03:53.has declared some roads here a closed military zone. Almost
:03:53. > :03:56.immediately we were told to move on. More and more Israeli troops and
:03:56. > :03:59.armoured vehicles are coming here it the Israeli side of the Gaza
:03:59. > :04:03.border. Tens of thousands of reservist soldiers have been called
:04:03. > :04:08.up and many of them ordered down here, the Israeli government says
:04:08. > :04:14.up to 75,000 of them will be drafted altogether. The feeling on
:04:14. > :04:18.the ground is that an Israeli incursion into gz is getting ever-
:04:18. > :04:23.closer: into -- into Gaza. But Israel's Army won't confirm its
:04:23. > :04:28.plan. Over 500 rockets mortgage arst have been filed at Israel's
:04:28. > :04:33.population. Are they planning on going in on the ground?
:04:33. > :04:38.minister has instructed the IDF to be ready and propd for all options.
:04:38. > :04:43.Sirens warning of rockets wailed across large parts of Israel today,
:04:43. > :04:46.from the south to the centre in Tel Aviv. An Israeli missile defence
:04:46. > :04:52.unit intercepted a rocket here. The declared aim of Israel's military
:04:52. > :04:56.operation in Gaza - to stop attacks like this. We were taken to a
:04:56. > :05:00.family flat in Ashdod, 40 kilometres from Gaza, moments after
:05:00. > :05:04.a rocket came clashing through their bedroom window. The young
:05:04. > :05:09.family had been eating lunch when they heard sirens and rushed to
:05:09. > :05:14.their building's bunker just in time. In a house nearby, this man
:05:14. > :05:20.is so scared for his children's safety, he won't let them sleep or
:05:20. > :05:26.play outside their bomb shelter. It's very scary. We can't go to
:05:26. > :05:34.school and, really, we can't go out to the garden. These are anxious
:05:34. > :05:38.times for families on both sides. In Egypt, 50 children have died
:05:38. > :05:43.after their school bus collided with a train on a level crossing.

:06:26. > :06:30.to comply to a European ruling. A vaccine to protect children
:06:30. > :06:33.against one of the most common and ddly forms of meningitis is set to

:06:39. > :06:44.More than 1,800 people contract meningitis B UK every year with one
:06:44. > :06:48.in ten dying. The charity Meningitis UK describes
:06:48. > :06:51.this as a landmark ruling. Meningitis B is the most deadly
:06:51. > :06:55.strain of the disease. But the only form of defence so far has been
:06:56. > :07:03.advice on early detection. Now, for the first time, a vaccine has been
:07:03. > :07:09.recommended for approval. Julie Backhouse's twins, Lily and
:07:09. > :07:13.Lucas both contracted meningitis B. Her son recovered by lily
:07:13. > :07:18.tragically died. She was just 23 months old. The day before she
:07:18. > :07:22.seemed perfectly happy and the family said they had no early
:07:23. > :07:27.warning signs. It was an extremely quick, from the initial symptoms of
:07:27. > :07:32.waking her up in the morning to losing her at night. So it's
:07:32. > :07:38.absolute fear. For me, that other parents would have to go through
:07:38. > :07:45.what we went through that day. UK is a hotspot for meningitis.
:07:45. > :07:49.Meningitis B accounts for 55% of all cases. It affects an average of
:07:49. > :07:54.1,870 a year and results in the death of around one in ten. It's
:07:54. > :07:57.very exciting news. This has been a very difficult type of meningitis
:07:57. > :08:01.to develop a vaccine against because there are men subgroups
:08:01. > :08:07.within the meningitis B. It's been worked on for many years and it is
:08:07. > :08:10.very good news that we have finally got a vaccine. Meningitis B is a
:08:10. > :08:17.complex disease. This vaccine offers protection against three-
:08:17. > :08:20.quarters of the known strains. The Department of health is broadly
:08:20. > :08:23.welcoming its development and a group of independent experts is now
:08:23. > :08:30.considering the cost effectiveness of the vaccine.
:08:30. > :08:33.It's something that scientists have been trying to crack for decades.

:08:49. > :08:52.Good evening. Disappointment for the home nations in rugby union's
:08:52. > :08:59.autumn internationals today. England were beat yeven by
:08:59. > :09:03.Australia, 20-14 at Twickenham. -- beaten. Scotland went down 21-10 to
:09:03. > :09:08.South Africa. A familiar foe but unfamiliar colours for England. Yet
:09:08. > :09:13.for all the purple and gold on show the first half an hour against
:09:13. > :09:17.Australia was distinctly beige. It took an Aussie burst to energise
:09:17. > :09:24.things. Nick Phipps putting in Nick Cummins for his first international
:09:24. > :09:27.try but later on the wal bees were caught wallowing -- Wallabies.
:09:27. > :09:32.Australia were supposed to be in disarray going into this. You would
:09:32. > :09:38.never have known the way beric Barnes kicked them into a led they
:09:38. > :09:42.would never close. Berrick. Scotland needed to beat South
:09:42. > :09:46.Africa to have an easier draw at the next World Cup but when they
:09:46. > :09:51.threw the wall it Strauss they tossed away their chances. His
:09:52. > :09:56.second try which helped put South Africa 18 ahead. A lead so big,
:09:56. > :10:00.that it stood up to the Scottish comeback. Four home defeats in a
:10:00. > :10:03.row for Scotland. Time for some soul-searching. Surprising
:10:03. > :10:06.scorelines in the Premier League today. Match of the Day is straight
:10:06. > :10:10.after the news. So if you don't want to know what happened, well,
:10:10. > :10:16.you know what to do. Manchester United were knocked off top spot
:10:16. > :10:20.after a 1-0 defeat at Norwich. Anthony Pilkington scored the only
:10:20. > :10:26.goal of the game as United slipped to their third loss of the season.
:10:27. > :10:31.Manchester City are the new leaders Manchester City are the new leaders
:10:31. > :10:36.after demolishing Villa 5-0. Arsenal also scored five to win the
:10:36. > :10:39.London deshy. Swansea won on the road at Newcastle and there was a
:10:39. > :10:43.vital win for Southampton. Elsewhere Reading got their first
:10:43. > :10:48.league win of the season against Everton and West Brom are up to
:10:48. > :10:53.fourth after beating Chelsea. Celtic are back at the top of the
:10:53. > :10:59.Scottish Premier League after beating Aberdeen 2-0. Hibernian
:10:59. > :11:02.dropped to second. St Mirren lost 1-0 to Hearts and it ended all-

:11:09. > :11:12.England's cricketers are facial an uphill task to avoid defeat in the
:11:12. > :11:16.first Test in India. They made a much better start to
:11:16. > :11:25.their second innings and ended the their second innings and ended the
:11:25. > :11:30.day on 111 without loss. Overwhelmed in Ahmed dad.
:11:30. > :11:35.The excitement grew on the streets where the police rely on the power
:11:35. > :11:40.of a piece of wood. English bats were held in trembling hands. Kevin
:11:40. > :11:44.Pietersen seemed caught in two minds to every ball. Ian Bell
:11:44. > :11:50.decided to enforce himself. The very first ball right into the
:11:51. > :11:58.hands of Sachin Tendulkar. 69-5. Alistair Cook showed some
:11:58. > :12:03.resistance but on 41 succumbed. Matt Prior fought to 48 but when he
:12:03. > :12:07.became Ojha's fifth victim England were all-out. With a lead of 330
:12:07. > :12:11.India invited England to bat again, the follow-on. Everyone here knew.
:12:11. > :12:15.It was only a question of when India would win. Second time around
:12:15. > :12:19.England located their composure. Alistair Cook and Nick Compton the
:12:19. > :12:24.new opening partnership took the score past 50 with the odd scare on
:12:24. > :12:27.the way. By the close Cooke had reached 74. 111 without loss the
:12:27. > :12:31.score but couldn't England have batted a bit like this before? With
:12:31. > :12:36.two days to go in the Test, pride is the prize. They have at least
:12:36. > :12:40.recovered. Sebastian Vettel is poised to
:12:40. > :12:46.secure his third straight Formula One world title after taking pole
:12:46. > :12:49.for tomorrow's United States Grand Prix. Vettel's tightal rival,
:12:49. > :12:53.Fernando Alonso only managed eighth and faces a battle it take the
:12:53. > :12:57.Championship to the final race. The Red Bull title will win the title
:12:57. > :13:02.if he scores 15 points more than Alonso tomorrow. McLaren's Lewis
:13:02. > :13:07.Hamilton finished second-fastest. That's all the sport. Before we go,
:13:08. > :13:11.a reminder of the main news: Israel continue bombarding Gaza and
:13:11. > :13:15.Palestinian fighters send rockets in the opposite direction as
:13:15. > :13:25.Israel's operation continued for a fourlt day. More on the BBC News

:13:29. > :13:32.Channel. -- for a fourth day. But Bot bolt Good evening. Temperatures
:13:32. > :13:38.-- Temperatures are falling nicely under clear skies. Many places
:13:38. > :13:42.could look like this in the morning. A clear start with sunshine.
:13:42. > :13:46.At the moment cloud in the south of England and East Anglia which will
:13:46. > :13:51.take all night to clear. Clearer skies elsewhere, showers continuing,
:13:51. > :13:53.mainly for western Scotland. Snow had the hills and the risk of icy
:13:54. > :13:58.patches. These are the numbers in towns and cities. In rural areas it
:13:58. > :14:02.will be much colder. Minus two, maybe even minus three. So a
:14:02. > :14:05.widespread frost on the way for Sunday morning. A lovely day to
:14:05. > :14:08.come, though. Except maybe with the showers we have in the north-west
:14:08. > :14:13.of Scotland and then later the cloud will increase across some
:14:13. > :14:16.western areas. It's just thin, high cloud coming into Wales and the
:14:16. > :14:20.south-west. We'll lose the sunshine eventually. But for most of the day
:14:20. > :14:25.a lovely day threw the Midlands. Certainly a blue sky day across
:14:25. > :14:27.eastern England. One or two early showers coming in off the Irish Sea,
:14:27. > :14:31.otherwise fine. It'll cloud over in Northern Ireland in the afternoon.
:14:32. > :14:35.Rain not far away by the end of the day. Still a few showers running
:14:35. > :14:38.into the north-west of Scotland. The rest of Scotland dry but rather
:14:38. > :14:41.chilly. Through tomorrow evening and tomorrow night it changes.
