:00:33. > :00:34.In spite of increasing calls for a ceasefire, including from the
:00:35. > :00:38.United Nations, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his
:00:39. > :00:41.cabinet this morning the current offensive could last a long time.

:00:50. > :00:58.From Gaza, Yolande Knell has just sent this report.
:00:59. > :01:07.This isn't a family outing. It is an exodus. Palestinians head away from
:01:08. > :01:12.their homes in northern Gaza and take their most prized belongings
:01:13. > :01:20.with them. Israel is warning there will be a heavy bombardment of the
:01:21. > :01:25.border area where they live. Look how many kids I have, this man tells
:01:26. > :01:29.me. We are forced to leave. We are not going to stay and be killed in
:01:30. > :01:33.our house. The Israelis broadcast their orders on TV and dropped
:01:34. > :01:38.leaflets. We have seen several Palestinian families like these
:01:39. > :01:43.clutching wags of their possessions and emergency supplies, and heading
:01:44. > :01:48.south. The Israeli military has told to evacuate their homes and there is
:01:49. > :01:54.not much time left to get away. We find hundreds of people coming
:01:55. > :02:00.inside a school for shelter. They are exhausted and distressed. We
:02:01. > :02:08.hope that this will end, we will still be alive and we go home and
:02:09. > :02:13.find our home as we leave it. Yes. Overnight, Israel intensified its
:02:14. > :02:17.aerosols. This was Gaza city. -- aero assault. The most deadly
:02:18. > :02:23.assault flattened the house of the Gaza police chief. At least 17
:02:24. > :02:28.people were killed. But Tel Aviv was also in the firing line. The tiny
:02:29. > :02:32.lights are Palestinian rockets, intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome
:02:33. > :02:38.defence system. In response, Israeli naval commandos shelled the Gaza
:02:39. > :02:42.coastline and made a limited ground assault. Now the offensive could be
:02:43. > :02:48.widened further. The ground operation, we are making the
:02:49. > :02:53.preparations for the possibility. It's not something we want. Indeed,
:02:54. > :02:58.we have about four brigades on the ground preparing. Troops can already
:02:59. > :03:02.be seen in southern Israel, awaiting orders. The violence and uncertainty
:03:03. > :03:09.continues on both sides of the border.
:03:10. > :03:15.Well, what is the latest on the ground? So far, there has been no
:03:16. > :03:20.sign that the heavy bombing has begun in the north of the Gaza
:03:21. > :03:23.Strip. The deadline for people to leave their homes was past three
:03:24. > :03:27.hours ago. Still, there have been plenty of other signs that the
:03:28. > :03:32.fighting has been intensifying. The last day has been the bloodiest of
:03:33. > :03:36.the conflict so far, with more than 50 Palestinians killed. In the past
:03:37. > :03:39.few hours, we have seen more Israeli air strikes and more Palestinian
:03:40. > :03:44.rockets fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel. So, no sign yet from
:03:45. > :03:48.either side that they are moving closer to agreeing some kind of
:03:49. > :03:50.cease-fire which, of course, is what the UN Security Council was calling
:03:51. > :03:54.for unanimously overnight. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin
:03:55. > :03:56.Welby, has added his voice to those supporting the ordination of women
:03:57. > :03:59.bishops in the Anglican Church. His comments come ahead of a vote on
:04:00. > :04:02.the matter at the Church's General Archbishop Welby says if the vote is
:04:03. > :04:08.in favour, the first woman bishop Here's our Religious Affairs
:04:09. > :04:27.Correspondent Robert Pigott. At Saint Mary 's, Primrose Hill in
:04:28. > :04:31.London, celebrating holy Communion this morning, the congregation takes
:04:32. > :04:35.their woman priest for granted. Women priests, once seen as
:04:36. > :04:40.unthinkable, are now indispensable. A third of Anglican clergy are
:04:41. > :04:45.women. Traditionalist 's who do not want to serve under a woman bishop
:04:46. > :04:47.have been given new concessions. Parishes can request a male
:04:48. > :04:51.alternative and go to an ombudsman if there is a dispute. Anglican
:04:52. > :04:54.leaders accept that the Church's reputation has been damaged by the
:04:55. > :05:01.long debate about whether to give women equality. I think to the
:05:02. > :05:03.general public, this is almost incomprehensible. It is equally
:05:04. > :05:08.incomprehensible that we are still talking about it. What do think
:05:09. > :05:13.timescale is before a woman bishop will be in this country? There is a
:05:14. > :05:17.good chance of a woman bishop being announced very early in 2015, cover
:05:18. > :05:22.be chosen possibly before that. Embers of the Synod met at York
:05:23. > :05:26.Minster this morning and prayed for wisdom in making one of the biggest
:05:27. > :05:31.decisions in their life. Some people are saying if the church does not
:05:32. > :05:34.pass this, they will start to question established nature of the
:05:35. > :05:41.church. We are talking about seismic happenings if we don't pass it, none
:05:42. > :05:44.of which would be helpful. Campaigners for women bishops say it
:05:45. > :05:53.would be a disaster if it were not passed now. But this cautious
:05:54. > :05:57.optimism, four of a handful of moderates who defeated at last time,
:05:58. > :06:02.say they are ready to change their minds. It seems like the Synod could
:06:03. > :06:09.be on an brink of an historic tradition, ending a line of male
:06:10. > :06:13.bishops going back to Jesus. Not for 50 years has the future of that
:06:14. > :06:17.church home so significantly on such a vote.
:06:18. > :06:18.And in the church home so significantly on such
:06:19. > :06:25.a vote. Roman Catholic Church, the celibacy of clergy, is some change
:06:26. > :06:31.likely there? Well, Pope Francis has just told an Italian daily that he
:06:32. > :06:34.can see a lifting of the compulsory celibacy for priests. He said there
:06:35. > :06:39.were solutions to the problem and he would find them. He said it was a
:06:40. > :06:44.rule brought about only 900 years after Jesus had died. He clearly
:06:45. > :06:47.feels that it is time to lift it. It is relatively easy for the church to
:06:48. > :06:51.lift this ban, because it is something that is not to do with
:06:52. > :06:55.core belief, but with church tradition. So it would not require
:06:56. > :07:01.so much bureaucracy or changing of laws and beliefs to remove it. Also,
:07:02. > :07:09.it is true to say that there are already married priests who are in
:07:10. > :07:11.the Catholic Church, converts from Anglicanism and in the Greek
:07:12. > :07:15.Catholic Church in Europe. It seems now that this could be one of the
:07:16. > :07:18.first big rules to change in the Catholic Church.
:07:19. > :07:20.Iraqi police say gunmen have killed at least 29 people, most
:07:21. > :07:24.They say unidentified gunmen stormed two residential buildings suspected
:07:25. > :07:27.to be brothels in the neighbourhood of Zayouna.
:07:28. > :07:33.Let's speak to our Correspondent Mark Doyle, who's in Baghdad.
:07:34. > :07:42.Market, what do we know about this incident? Well, there was a raid on
:07:43. > :07:51.two buildings in an area to the east of Baghdad, in fact. The gunman used
:07:52. > :07:55.silencers and killed we believe 25 women and five men, but a number of
:07:56. > :07:58.people were seriously injured so that number may go up. When this
:07:59. > :08:03.incident first happened, many people thought maybe it was the jihadis who
:08:04. > :08:07.had come in, who are knocking on the doors of Baghdad, the violent
:08:08. > :08:11.Islamist 's attacking what was alleged to have been a brothel. We
:08:12. > :08:18.don't know what this particular place was. What it appears to be is
:08:19. > :08:20.that it was militias that are allied to the government, who have done
:08:21. > :08:33.this kind of thing before in this area, attacking places they accuse
:08:34. > :08:37.of being involved in prostitution. Cricket, and England's prospects are
:08:38. > :08:38.improving against India. They've taken three wickets with dynamic
:08:39. > :08:42.bowling from Stuart Broad. Now, after 63 games and 170 goals,
:08:43. > :08:45.tonight it's the match that really matters as Germany take on Argentina
:08:46. > :08:49.in the World Cup final. The Germans are bidding for their
:08:50. > :08:57.fourth title, Argentina their third. If the Germans do it,
:08:58. > :08:59.they'll be the first European team to lift the trophy in South America,
:09:00. > :09:05.as Dan Roan reports. This may be Brazil's World Cup,
:09:06. > :09:09.but it's the hosts' arch rivals that have gate-crashed the party,
:09:10. > :09:14.with estimates that 100,000 Argentina fans have made
:09:15. > :09:18.their way to Rio for the final. And this is where many will be
:09:19. > :09:22.heading later, the iconic Maracana, a fitting venue for what appears to
:09:23. > :09:24.be a classic contest between two footballing
:09:25. > :09:27.heavyweights. This could be a defining moment
:09:28. > :09:30.for arguably the greatest player Lionel Messi's four goals this
:09:31. > :09:36.tournament, carrying Argentina TRANSLATION: The team
:09:37. > :09:44.and the individuals feed each other. They feed back
:09:45. > :09:47.and they're a virtuous circle, so the team needs to be solid to
:09:48. > :09:50.work as a platform for individuals But Leo is the best player
:09:51. > :09:56.in the world, so any team he plays Germany's astonishing 7-1 thrashing
:09:57. > :10:04.of Brazil in the semifinal ensures they are favourites,
:10:05. > :10:07.however. A golden generation of players,
:10:08. > :10:09.now at their peak, determined to win their country's
:10:10. > :10:15.first World Cup since 1990. The expectation in
:10:16. > :10:17.the general public is quite high. After the win against Brazil,
:10:18. > :10:19.everybody thinks, The circumstances are just for us,
:10:20. > :10:29.because we know we are better team. And I think the guys, they know
:10:30. > :10:33.as well, they are under pressure a little bit
:10:34. > :10:34.but they have to deliver. The authorities, meanwhile,
:10:35. > :10:36.are preparing for the biggest security operation Rio has ever
:10:37. > :10:39.seen, with 25,000 personnel The hope is that the action on the
:10:40. > :10:45.pitch delivers a fitting finale for what has been a memorable
:10:46. > :10:55.World Cup. That's it, the next news on BBC One
:10:56. > :11:19.is at 5:35. Goodbye. June so our thoughts are turning to
:11:20. > :11:24.summer sunshine and warmth. I can offer you that but it comes at a
:11:25. > :11:28.price, there is the potential for a quandary break down later in the
:11:29. > :11:29.week. It was
