:01:12. > :01:16.pressure for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is mounting after
:01:16. > :01:22.the deadliest day of violence in the region so far. Reports say 26
:01:22. > :01:26.people were killed? Gaza by Israeli air strikes and more rockets were
:01:26. > :01:31.fired into Israel, including two shot down over Tel Aviv.
:01:31. > :01:36.In a moment, our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen reports from Israel.
:01:36. > :01:46.First, Wyre Davies send this report from Gaza. Israel has chosen its
:01:46. > :01:47.
:01:47. > :01:52.targets in Gaza today, selectively, but with devastating effect.
:01:52. > :01:57.Across Gaza, the homes of at least seven Hamas military officials were
:01:57. > :02:02.hit in massive explosions, regardless of who may have been
:02:02. > :02:06.inside. Israel repeatedly described its attacks as surgical strikes.
:02:06. > :02:10.This was a family home, in the heart of Gaza City, which was
:02:10. > :02:16.flattened in an air strike earlier this afternoon. Several civilians
:02:16. > :02:22.have been killed. Others are missing. Frantically they dug for
:02:22. > :02:26.survivors. No-one could have come out of this alive.
:02:26. > :02:33.A senior Hamas official and his entire family of ten were killed
:02:33. > :02:39.here today. Sure, if they keep doing this, you
:02:39. > :02:43.will see more people die. Israel is targeting Hamas off
:02:43. > :02:48.officials it accuses of hiding among civilians. The number of
:02:48. > :02:52.civilians, particularly children, being killed or injured in the air
:02:52. > :02:57.strikes enrages Palestinian feeling even more. At this house, in the
:02:57. > :03:03.north of Gaza City, a one-year-old boy and his three-year-old sister
:03:03. > :03:08.were killed in an Israeli air strike.
:03:08. > :03:12.Israel also hit two buildings where international and local media have
:03:12. > :03:17.their offices. One journalist had his leg blown off. Another
:03:17. > :03:23.justifiable attack, said Israel, because Hamas was using
:03:23. > :03:27.communication antennae on the roofs. No-one knows when this will end,
:03:27. > :03:34.but more people were killed today than on any other day of this short,
:03:34. > :03:39.brutal conflict. The Israeli Prime Minister,
:03:39. > :03:45.Binyamin Netanyahu, said the Israel's mill thri was ready, for -
:03:45. > :03:53.- military was ready for an expansion in Gaza. Today civilians
:03:53. > :03:56.were fired by rockets fired by mill fapbts. In southern Israel more
:03:56. > :04:02.alarms, more people running for cover and more concern about how
:04:02. > :04:05.this is going to end. Bombed out residents in these flats
:04:05. > :04:10.in Ashkelon, many Russian immigrants had some advice for the
:04:10. > :04:15.Government. She said Israel should level Gaza,
:04:15. > :04:20.as Russia levelled Chechnya in their war. Not all Israelis feel
:04:20. > :04:24.the same. They have seen force used in Gaza before and it has not
:04:24. > :04:28.stopped rocket attacks. Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister,
:04:28. > :04:35.said the operation against Hamas will continue and will widen. The
:04:35. > :04:39.question is whether that will mean invading Gaza again. Allowing
:04:39. > :04:44.Israeli TV to film troops training for street fighting is the latest
:04:44. > :04:49.loud signal aimed at re-enforcing Israel's threat. The last invasion,
:04:49. > :04:52.four years ago, was bloody and the message from Israel's allies,
:04:52. > :04:56.including Britain, is think hard before doing it again. That came
:04:56. > :05:01.from President Obama too, who is on a tour of Asia. Though he also gave
:05:01. > :05:06.Israel the support it expects and needs. We are fully supportive of
:05:06. > :05:13.Israel's right to defend itself from missiles landing on people's
:05:13. > :05:20.homes and workplaces and potentially killing civilians. We
:05:20. > :05:24.will continue to support Israel's right to defend itself. Ehud Barak
:05:24. > :05:29.inspected the Iron Dome anti- missile system. The Americans
:05:29. > :05:36.developed it with the Israelis. Iron Dome has shot down almost 300
:05:36. > :05:39.of the 1,000 or so rockets and missiles launched out of Gaza. With
:05:39. > :05:44.Israeli attacks killing more Palestinian civilians inside Gaza,
:05:44. > :05:50.Israel's insisting that the force it is using is proportionate, in
:05:50. > :05:53.lines with the rules of law. fact Hamas and other terrorist
:05:53. > :05:57.organisations are targeting Israelis, while we are targeting
:05:57. > :06:01.only terrorists. Once again, it is a tragedy that there are casualties
:06:01. > :06:05.on both sides. The next big decision Israel faces is whether to
:06:05. > :06:08.use the troops and armour it is deployingen the border with Gaza.
:06:08. > :06:12.The Government here says it wants quiet in southern Israel. Most
:06:12. > :06:16.likely that means another ceasefire with Hamas. What no-one knows yet
:06:16. > :06:20.is whether it will take a ground war or diplomacy to make that
:06:20. > :06:24.happen. Well, we can speak to Jeremy Bowen
:06:24. > :06:30.in Jerusalem now. You mentioned that notion of a ceasefire. Is that
:06:30. > :06:34.at all possible at this stage? efforts are going on. There's an
:06:35. > :06:38.Israeli delegation in Cairo and using the Egyptian Government as
:06:38. > :06:43.go-betweens, they are indirectly talking to Hamas. I think neither
:06:43. > :06:48.side will want to give any kind of concession that the other will be
:06:48. > :06:57.able, that their enemies, will be able to present some kind of a
:06:57. > :07:01.victory. Now, don't foreget that all of this comes on top of changes
:07:01. > :07:05.in the region and the violence elsewhere. Diplomacy has never been,
:07:05. > :07:11.or for a long time, it has not been this hard, or has not been this
:07:11. > :07:14.necessary. I think the longer that the air strikes go on, without
:07:14. > :07:18.stopping rocket launches and missiles firing out of Gaza, the
:07:18. > :07:22.more likely it is that that ground operation will happen. I think the
:07:22. > :07:27.last time it happened, four years ago, then the Israelis had a good
:07:27. > :07:28.idea about how their neighbours would react. Because it is a new
:07:28. > :07:33.Middle East they don't this time around.
:07:33. > :07:38.Thank you. Jaguar Land Rover has reached a
:07:39. > :07:43.deal to manufacture cars in China. It is joining forces with Chery, in
:07:43. > :07:46.a �1 billion joint venture. Our business correspondent has the
:07:46. > :07:53.details. One of the best known companies in Britain is setting up
:07:53. > :08:00.shop in China. It is building a new factory there in partnership with
:08:00. > :08:07.the leading Chinese car maker Chery Automobile. It will produce well
:08:07. > :08:12.known models and a new line. Why is a car-maker in Coventry so keen to
:08:12. > :08:17.do business in China. A few years ago it sold hardly any cars there.
:08:17. > :08:22.But now one in five it produces has a Chinese buyer. Sales have gone up
:08:22. > :08:30.there by 80%. As the vast population gets richer, there is
:08:30. > :08:32.plenty of room for growth. Jaguar Land Rover need to grow
:08:32. > :08:36.dramatically. China should help them do that. It is important for
:08:36. > :08:40.the firm to make a success of it. When it is built, the new factory
:08:41. > :08:47.will be the company's first proper manufacturing base outside the UK.
:08:47. > :08:50.Jaguar Land Rover, which is owned by Tata, rejects suggestions that
:08:50. > :08:55.it could start to move production away from Britain. We are very much
:08:55. > :08:59.seen as a British company, a premium British company. In China,
:08:59. > :09:03.the reason they are buying Jaguar and Land Rovers is because of that
:09:03. > :09:08.British heritage. We are seen as a premium western brand that people
:09:09. > :09:14.want to buy. Jaguar Land Rover is not the only leading western brand
:09:14. > :09:17.looking to China for growth, as traditional markets become crowded
:09:17. > :09:23.W a population of 1.3 billion and a growing middle class, there is
:09:23. > :09:28.unlikely to be a shortage of customers there any time soon.
:09:28. > :09:31.The Labour leader Ed Miliband will adopt a more sceptical tone towards
:09:31. > :09:38.Europe in a major speech towards business leaders tomorrow. Let's
:09:38. > :09:43.speak to our political editor. Why this new approach? Ed Miliband says
:09:43. > :09:51.he has to speak out because it is a dangerous time for Britain. We
:09:51. > :09:54.would be sleepwalking our way out of the European Union. He say he
:09:54. > :09:58.wants powers back from Brussels or to withdraw entirely. In the
:09:58. > :10:01.process Ed Miliband has had to pour cold water on some in his party who
:10:01. > :10:05.think it would be brilliant if Labour called for a referendum to
:10:05. > :10:10.pile more pressure on the Prime Minister. So, in the current
:10:10. > :10:12.climate, he knows he cannot apologise for the EU. He says in
:10:12. > :10:16.future Labour will not turn a blind eye to the European Union's
:10:16. > :10:20.failings, but the Conservatives say he has no credibility in this issue
:10:20. > :10:24.because when Labour were in power they gave money and powers away to
:10:25. > :10:29.Brussels. Thank you very much. It has been a matter which has
:10:29. > :10:33.divided the Church of England for years. This week, history could be
:10:33. > :10:36.made as the General Synod votes on whether to allow women to become
:10:36. > :10:42.Bishops. A new Archbishop of Canterbury is in favour. The vote
:10:42. > :10:48.is thought to be on a knife-edge. Its buildings are almost as old as
:10:48. > :10:52.its traditions. This week, a lengthy debate on
:10:52. > :10:55.women Bishops will be clarified. Frances Ward the dean of
:10:56. > :11:00.Edmundsbury Cathedral is one of the most senior women in the Church,
:11:00. > :11:04.among one of the first women to be ordained in 1994. She says the

:11:13. > :11:17.the nation and being there, as the Church of England, in this society
:11:17. > :11:22.today, and our credibility will be shot through if we don't pass this
:11:22. > :11:28.on Tuesday. We are fearful too... It is two decades since the Church
:11:28. > :11:34.of England voted to ordain female priests T retdoric then as now was
:11:34. > :11:38.sin -- rectoric then as now was scurrilous. The Church is
:11:38. > :11:42.overwhelmingly accepting of that move. The congregations, at least,
:11:42. > :11:46.want the General Synod to take another defining decision. Most of
:11:46. > :11:49.the congregation here and in the wider Church of England are in
:11:49. > :11:55.favour of England Bishops. The Archbishop of Canterbury has warned
:11:55. > :11:58.of turmoil in the Church unless the measure is passed and his successor
:11:58. > :12:04.is supportive. That does not mean that Tuesday's vote will go their
