Israel says its offensive on Gaza may continue for some time, despite | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
mounting calls for a ceasefire. Palestinians in some parts | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
of the territory have been leaving their homes after warnings | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
of further air strikes. After six days of bombardment, | :00:16. | :00:26. | |
the Palestinian death toll has now risen to more than 160. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |

Thousands of Palestinians left their homes in northern Gaza today after | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
being warned by Israel of further air strikes. The last 24 hours have | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
brought the most sustained bombardment of the six-day | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
offensive. Officials in Gaza say more than 160 people have been | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
killed and the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, has | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
appealed to the United Nations for "international protection". In | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Israel, there have been no fatalities, although a teenager was | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
injured in a rocket attack today. In a moment, Quentin Sommerville | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
reports from Ashdod on the view in Israel. But first, our Middle East | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
editor, Jeremy Bowen, reports from Gaza. | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
There are some graphic images in this report. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Gaza. For much of the night, | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
the wounded and the dead were brought into the hospital. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
It was the most sustained bombing so far. | :02:06. | :02:06. | |
Gaza was pounded. For Israel, this is self | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
defence with American support. As more civilians die, the pressure | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
for a cease-fire is growing. At the mortuary, | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
the bodies of two children were squeezed onto one shelf. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
They were running out of room. 17 members of the family, | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
including three other children, were killed in the bombing. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
The strain showed. This is the third war between Hamas | :02:38. | :02:51. | |
and Israel since 2009. Israel says it goes after Hamas. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
That is not true. They are children, says a cousin. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
It is not logical they would be in Hamas. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Every time Israel kills Palestinians, especially civilians, | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
Hamas gets a boost of popularity. Israel is not trying to win any | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
friends here but it does want to weaken Hamas as an organisation. | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
Hamas draws strength from the suffering Israel inflicts. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
When Israel says it is retaliating, so Hamas is responsible, | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
no Palestinian listens. North of Gaza city, most people left | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
their homes after Israel warned it might expand its operations. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
Mohammed and some of his family were moving after the Israeli deadline. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
The shelling was close. The displaced families, just as in the | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
last two wars, are in UN schools. They settled in as if it were | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
part of their regular routine. At times like this in Gaza, | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
life and death are overshadowed by one reality. | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
Almost 70 years of conflict with Israel, and no prospect it will end. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
This man, a strawberry farmer, has nine children | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
and more than 100 grandchildren. He rejected Israel's claims that | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Hamas uses civilians as human shields. | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
TRANSLATION: It is not true. | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
I have a family and I have seven of my daughters-in-law at home. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
I would never put Hamas people near my house. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Back at the mortuary, they were cleaning up the blood, getting | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
ready for another hard night. The chances are that this war, | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
like the last two will end with a cease-fire. | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
But not yet. Overnight, Israeli military briefly | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
deployed ground troops inside Gaza for the first time | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
since the offensive began. Today Israel's Prime Minister, | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
Benjamin Netanyahu, said he didn't know when | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
the current operation would end and that it could "take a long time". | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
That's in spite of mounting calls for a ceasefire. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Our world affairs correspondent, Quentin Sommerville, reports. | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
It is this that Israel wants to stop. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
Salvos of Hamas rockets heading for its cities that these were | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
filmed by the militants. Israel hits hard. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
When it strikes Gaza, a warning often comes first. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Do you speak Hebrew? An Israeli soldier asks. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
There was a muffled response, followed by an instruction from you | :05:45. | :05:55. | |
have five minutes to leave. Then this, the missile hits. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Four air strikes in Gaza today. The calls are made to | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
minimise civilian casualties. Israel's focus is | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the destruction of Hamas. Our goal is to achieve sustainable | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
quiet and security for our people. We are doing that by degrading Hamas | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
and other terror capabilities. I am not going to say right now how | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
and when that goal will be achieved, whether by diplomatic | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
and military means but that goal has to be achieved. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
Rockets from Gaza continue to hit Israel today. | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
This one landing in a southern city. These attacks caused fear | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
and injury but the military advantage is Israel's. | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
The Iron Dome military defence system gives Israel | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
a tactical advantage over Hamas. It is the principal reason why | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
almost a week into the conflict not a single Israeli has been killed. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
Support for the campaign is almost universal. | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
I think it is necessary but I think they should define goals | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
in a better way and define what they want to achieve. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
I think it is time to take down Hamas. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
I think we should go in there and eradicate Hamas. | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
Among the Israelis, there is not widespread support | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
for a ground offensive. That, for now, | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
maybe all that is stopping the conflict from escalating. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
has told the BBC he's "hopeful" the Church of England's ruling body will | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
allow women to become bishops when it votes on the issue tomorrow. | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
A previous attempt two years ago to make the change was defeated | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
by six votes. Our religious affairs correspondent, | :07:54. | :07:53. | |
Robert Pigott, reports. CHOIR MUSIC. At St Mary's, | :07:54. | :08:03. | |
Primrose Hill, in London, celebrating holy communion this | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
morning, the congregation takes Women priests, once seen as | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
unthinkable, are now indispensable. They make up a third of Anglican | :08:08. | :08:22. | |
clergy. We are trying to be Christians. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
We are people, all of us. Nobody said it had to be men only. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Women bishops is a marvellous idea, why did we not do it before? | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Since the legislation was defeated in 2012, intense | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
negotiations have brought traditionalists new concessions. A | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
male alternative bishop could be requested. Conservative evangelicals | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
say it is not enough. We want to carry on with male leadership in our | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
churches. This package insists that churches need to go to a woman, | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
outside their church, to find out what happens inside the church. That | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
is a problem. That is very difficult for us. Anglican leaders accept that | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
the Church's reputation has been damaged by the long debate over | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
whether to give women equal status. To the general public, it is almost | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
incomprehensible. It is equally incomprehensible we are still | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
talking about it. When do you think we will get a woman bishop? There is | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
a possibility there will be one in 2015, possibly before that. Members | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
of the Synod met at York Minster this morning and prayed for wisdom | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
in making one of the biggest decisions of their lives. It seems | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
they could be on the brink of a historic decision. Breaking the | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
tradition of male only bishops. Not for at least 20 years has the future | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
of the Church swung so decisively on a single vote. | :10:01. | :10:10. | |
Pope Francis has said he believes that the prohibition on | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
Roman Catholic priests marrying can be relaxed in the course of time. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
In a newspaper interview, the Pope said he would find | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
a way to reverse the rule on celibacy which he said was adopted | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
900 years after the death of Jesus. But the Vatican has cast doubt | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
on the accuracy of some of the words attributed to him. | :10:29. | :10:38. | |
All eight million votes in Afghanistan's hotly disputed | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
Presidential election are going to have to be recounted. | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
The news comes after US Secretary of State John Kerry brokered | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
a deal between presidential contenders Abdullah Abdullah | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
and Ashraf Ghani Ahmadza. Following allegations | :10:48. | :10:48. | |
of vote rigging, part When Afghans queued to cast their | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
vote in a second round presidential race, few would have predicted that | :10:57. | :11:11. | |
the ballots would have to be counted again, all 8 million of them. | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
Not just counted, but scrutinised for signs of fraud. | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
But that is exactly what these two political rivals have signed up to, | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
ending the deadlock in a landmark deal brokered by | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
US Secretary of State John Kerry. Both candidates have committed to | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
participate in and abide by the results of the largest, | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
most comprehensive possible audit. With serious allegations of fraud | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
on both sides threatening to destabilise an entire country, | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani were left with little choice but to | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
take a deep breath and agree. We have committed to | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
the most thorough audit in the history of any election in | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
a developed or developing country. 100% | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
of all the ballots will be audited. Also hammered out | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
in an intense weekend of talks, a blueprint for the future. | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
Whoever wins the presidential race will form a government | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
of national unity, as Afghanistan marks a historic transition. | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
This does feel like a defining moment for the country. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
This agreement goes far further than many Afghans would have predicted | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
and it is a measure perhaps of the financial, political and | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
military commitment to prevent this country sliding backwards into war. | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
This is what was at stake, the threat of violence and instability. | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
Just days ago, Abdullah supporters rejected provisional results | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
outright, urging him to declare a parallel government. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
He resisted. It may be several weeks | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
before we know who will be the next president, but they have agreed to | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
a unique pact that hopes to haul Afghanistan back from the brink. | :12:50. | :13:00. | |
Now with news of tonight's World Cup final, and the rest of the sport, | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
here's OIly Foster in Rio de Janeiro. | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
A great night. This tournament started over four weeks ago with | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
such a beast of goals. The 20th World Cup Final had none in normal | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
time between Germany and Argentina. The match was heading to penalties. | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
24 years after they last won it, Germany are world champions once | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
again. It felt like but Ball fantasy, the greatest prize in the | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
sport at its most iconic venue. -- football fantasy. There was promised | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
to deliver a fitting climax to a memorable tournament. It had been | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
billed as Germany versus Lionel Messi. They made it feel like a home | :13:53. | :14:09. | |
game for the South Americans. This misplaced header with the | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
Argentinian 's big moment blown. Almost immediately he appeared to | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
have made amends but Argentina where once again frustrated. The | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
Argentinian was offside. Germany survived and responded well. They | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
were denied by the post. A breathless first half somehow ended | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
goalless. The scene was set for someone to illuminate the game. The | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
man most likely to deliver could not. Even Lionel Messi was unable to | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
break the deadlock. And so to extra time, with the game on a knife edge | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
and penalties looming. Something special was needed. The substitute | :14:50. | :14:58. | |
's wonderful finish exactly the kind of goal that deserves to win a World | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
Cup final. The shattered Argentinians had no time to recover | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
and Germany had one. This is what it meant to the players who had become | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
world champions. And to the tens of thousands watching back home in | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
Berlin. Germany has had to wait almost a quarter of this entry for | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
this moment. A golden generation of talent had finally come of age. | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
Let's cross live to the stadium and speak to down. This was very much a | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
team triumph, wasn't it? The tournament 's best team won. It may | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
be Germany 's fourth World Cup triumph but they have had to wait 24 | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
years since the last one. It is the first since unification. They had | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
all the momentum after the astonishing demolition of Brazil in | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
the semifinals. Germany deserve huge credit for this. They have won a | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
World Cup on South American soil. Because of the countries 's emphasis | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
on home-grown talent and putting in place systems to support their | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
national footballing team, England will be asked to look and learn from | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
what the Germans have achieved. For Argentina, huge disappointment. | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
Lionel Messi unable to cap a huge career. It has been a World Cup to | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
remember. After so much scrutiny at how the sport is run, it is exactly | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
what football needed. in Rio de Janeiro. | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
Golf now. And the Open starts on Thursday | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
at Hoylake and Justin Rose is on a great run of form. | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
He won on the American Tour last week | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
and with victory in Aberdeen at the Scottish Open today the Englishman | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
has won back to back tournaments for the first time in his career. | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
He won by two shots after a faultless round that included six | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
birdies to finish on 16 under par. The American Mo Martin won Women's | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
British Open at Royal Birkdale. It's her first title | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
and it was secured with an eagle on the last to win by a single stroke. | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
And England have drawn the First Test against India at Trent Bridge. | :17:08. | :17:21. | |
This report from John Watson. England needed early wickets. Step | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
into the spotlight, Stuart Broad. In the mood and in full flow, another | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
followed five runs later. The English captain was out of runs and | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
out of luck. A change of bowler, another breakthrough. A timely | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
introduction averting the glare on this cat ten. If victory were to be | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
realised, England needed wickets and quickly. A record 81 runs with the | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
bat yesterday, Anderson with the breakthrough after lunch. The lower | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
order batsmen proved tricky to dismiss. Match drawn but still time | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
for Alastair Cook to make amends for the early fumble. No victory | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
celebrations but the champagne moment for England 's beleaguered | :18:11. | :18:11. | |
captain. Test against India at Trent Bridge. | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
And that is all your sport tonight. But, at the end of this World Cup, | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
let's just show you what is happening on Copacabana Beach. | :18:22. | :18:30. |
