:00:00. > :00:07.As a short truce between Israel and Hamas ends tonight,

:00:08. > :00:11.the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza rises to more than 1,000.

:00:12. > :00:35.the first family members arrive at the site - where investigations into

:00:36. > :00:40.The first female commander of a front line Royal Navy warship

:00:41. > :00:43.faces allegations of an affair with one of her crew.

:00:44. > :00:46.And at the Commonwealth Games - the first gold for Wales

:00:47. > :01:09.A truce between Israel and Hamas ended this evening,

:01:10. > :01:12.with more rockets being fired from inside Gaza.

:01:13. > :01:15.During the few hours of the ceasefire, Palestinian

:01:16. > :01:17.rescuers recovered more than 130 bodies from the rubble of buildings,

:01:18. > :01:22.That brings the total number of Palestinians killed

:01:23. > :01:30.in the conflict to 1,033 - according to the Gaza Health ministry.

:01:31. > :01:43.42 Israelis have also been killed - most of them soldiers.

:01:44. > :01:44.Our international affairs correspondent Ian Pannell reports

:01:45. > :01:51.Some viewers may find his report distressing.

:01:52. > :01:59.At 8am this morning the guns fell silent and people poured onto the

:02:00. > :02:06.streets. Towards homes they had left because of the conflicts between

:02:07. > :02:07.Hamas and Israel. The scars of the bombardments ever deeper as they

:02:08. > :02:13.walked in. But no one bombardments ever deeper as they

:02:14. > :02:25.imagined what they were about to see. One week ago this was a

:02:26. > :02:33.bustling neighbourhood. Home to thousands of people. Now, crushed

:02:34. > :02:41.beyond recognition by intense Israeli shelling. We saw Hassan

:02:42. > :02:48.weeping on a mound of rubble. This had been his home. It was his life

:02:49. > :02:52.savings that went into it. Today it's all gone. It feels like my

:02:53. > :03:07.heart is full of knives, he says. Dozens of bodies were pulled from

:03:08. > :03:13.the rubble today. Another killed with one of her children. And the

:03:14. > :03:20.desperation of her sons trying to release them. Many heeded Israeli

:03:21. > :03:30.warnings to get out. But the stench of death marks those unable or

:03:31. > :03:40.unwilling to. And for this man the grief of finding his son's body was

:03:41. > :03:45.simply too much. This district lies within clear sight of the border.

:03:46. > :03:50.Israel says attacks were planned here and dozens of tunnels used by

:03:51. > :03:55.militants have been unearthed. We have come to the very eastern part

:03:56. > :04:00.of Gaza where it borders Israel. You can just see over there, literally

:04:01. > :04:05.about 400 metres away, an Israeli tank. This entire area has been

:04:06. > :04:08.literally bulldozed down with huge damage to the buildings either side.

:04:09. > :04:13.The mood remains very tense. We've heard at least one tank shell come

:04:14. > :04:18.and the sound of automatic gunfire as Israeli drones constantly hover

:04:19. > :04:23.overhead. Like everyone else she came here to collect her things

:04:24. > :04:29.today but it wasn't possible. TRANSLATION: I can't find my house.

:04:30. > :04:39.Where is it? I could not see anything. Nothing is left. The house

:04:40. > :04:45.is gone. Everything is gone. Fatima also came hoping to grab a few

:04:46. > :04:50.possessions. The family had five houses right here, but their homes

:04:51. > :04:56.have been bulldozed. An Israeli official told us that Hamas tunnels

:04:57. > :05:04.had been found in the area. TRANSLATION: I don't know why they

:05:05. > :05:08.have demolished the houses. Why? I swear, not one bullet has been fired

:05:09. > :05:15.from here. No one attacked the border. Now the Israeli cease-fire

:05:16. > :05:19.has ended, and Hamas has already fired across the border. So, while

:05:20. > :05:26.people here may pray for lasting peace, few expect it.

:05:27. > :05:29.Our Middle East correspondent Orla Guerin is in the Israeli city of

:05:30. > :05:34.Tel Aviv, where sirens have been sounding this evening.

:05:35. > :05:40.More Hamas rockets were fired this evening. What is Israel's response

:05:41. > :05:45.likely to be? Hamas has fired about a dozen rockets so far this evening,

:05:46. > :05:48.by their own account. This happened after the temporary cease-fire for

:05:49. > :05:52.human Terry and reasons ended about four hours ago. In the last ten

:05:53. > :05:56.minutes we had an update from senior Israeli officials, who told the BBC

:05:57. > :06:01.they have agreed to a demand, or a request I should say, from the

:06:02. > :06:05.United Nations, to extend the temporary cease-fire by 24 hours.

:06:06. > :06:11.They have told us: The Army will take action if this cease-fire is

:06:12. > :06:15.breached. But during this further humanitarian pause the Army will

:06:16. > :06:19.continue to, as they put it, neutralise the terror tunnels and

:06:20. > :06:22.also the Cabinet will convene tomorrow to discuss continuing the

:06:23. > :06:25.operation. Israel made it clear tonight this is a further temporary

:06:26. > :06:30.pause. And it would last until tomorrow evening. We have not had

:06:31. > :06:34.any response from Hamas, but the indications from them in the last

:06:35. > :06:39.few hours was that they would not agree to any further truce. They say

:06:40. > :06:43.Israel is using any truce, any pause in hostilities, to prepare further

:06:44. > :06:47.attacks. They also say the scale of the destruction caused by Israel is

:06:48. > :06:50.now clear and a Hamas spokesman said that was a game change. The Israelis

:06:51. > :06:54.will once again be concerned that more rockets are coming in and they

:06:55. > :06:59.will have to be retreating to shelters. Most of the people in Gaza

:07:00. > :07:02.can only hope for a temporary lull. Thank you for joining us.

:07:03. > :07:07.A team of military police officers has arrived in eastern Ukraine to

:07:08. > :07:10.help search for the remains of victims of the Malaysian airliner

:07:11. > :07:16.They're negotiating with the Ukrainian parliament

:07:17. > :07:18.and pro-Russian rebels before they can travel to

:07:19. > :07:32.Amongst the blackened debris of Flight MH17, the parents of one of

:07:33. > :07:37.the victims. George did in ski and his wife Angela travelled from

:07:38. > :07:41.Australia to be here where there water Fatima and so many others

:07:42. > :07:48.died. We have promised our daughter we would come here. But actually as

:07:49. > :07:50.soon as the, there was a time factor. We should have come here

:07:51. > :07:57.soon as the, there was a time minute it happened,

:07:58. > :07:59.soon as the, there was a time investigation at the crash site in

:08:00. > :08:02.rebel controlled territory will not begin for any other remains and

:08:03. > :08:08.belongings of passengers still here are recovered. And Dutch police say

:08:09. > :08:14.they will not start doing that before next Thursday. That's because

:08:15. > :08:19.while fighting continues nearby between government forces and the

:08:20. > :08:23.rebels the Dutch want their presence in a conflict zone approved by

:08:24. > :08:27.Ukraine's Parliament. We believe this footage is genuine and was

:08:28. > :08:31.filmed around Donetsk, which is now a focal point of this war. Back in

:08:32. > :08:37.the government-controlled city of Kharkiv, why a memorial for the

:08:38. > :08:43.victims, we asked this senior Dutch police officer the decision to wait.

:08:44. > :08:47.We are guests in this country. This is not our country. We are guests

:08:48. > :08:52.and everything we do here we need Ukrainian support to do so. But

:08:53. > :08:57.while the operation in Ukraine now appears to be on hold progress in

:08:58. > :09:00.the Netherlands. Today the final coffins at containing the victims'

:09:01. > :09:13.remains collected by rebels in eastern Ukraine several days ago.

:09:14. > :09:16.The Foreign Office has advised against travel to Libya and anyone

:09:17. > :09:20.they should leave the country. It follows intense fighting

:09:21. > :09:22.in the capital Tripoli The United States has also called

:09:23. > :09:26.on its citizens to leave The first female commander

:09:27. > :09:29.of a British warship is understood to have left her vessel

:09:30. > :09:31.after allegations Commander Sarah West, who's 42, was

:09:32. > :09:36.coming to the end of a seven-month Our correspondent Philippa Thomas

:09:37. > :09:52.joins us now from the Ministry Philippa, what do we know about

:09:53. > :09:54.this? Commander Sarah West first made headlines two years ago when

:09:55. > :09:58.she became the first woman to command a front-line warship in the

:09:59. > :10:02.Navy's centuries of history, describing that as the highlight of

:10:03. > :10:06.her 16 year career. We understand she was chosen because she

:10:07. > :10:13.demonstrated leadership, moral courage and sound judgement. Now, at

:10:14. > :10:15.the moment she is, we are told, on annual leave and her

:10:16. > :10:20.second-in-command is now in charge of the ship. We have to say we have

:10:21. > :10:24.no confirmation that Commander West, who is single, has had an

:10:25. > :10:27.inappropriate relationship that the MoD says the department is treating

:10:28. > :10:30.seriously an allegation that there has been a breach of what is called

:10:31. > :10:37.a code of social conduct on board the ship. It adds that anyone who is

:10:38. > :10:40.found to fall short of the Royal Navy's high standards can expect to

:10:41. > :10:45.face appropriate action. I should stress this code does not forbid

:10:46. > :10:48.personal relationships, that it can been as misconduct relationships

:10:49. > :10:54.which are found to damage operational effectiveness, or team

:10:55. > :11:00.cohesion, and sanctions can range from informal advice to disciplinary

:11:01. > :11:03.action. Only in the case of persistent, serious, social

:11:04. > :11:09.misconduct, as they put it, will an officer be sacked.

:11:10. > :11:12.20 local councils in England are asking the government for new

:11:13. > :11:16.They say ?400 million could be raised - and used to help

:11:17. > :11:19.Ministers say it could lead to higher food prices.

:11:20. > :11:26.Our business correspondent, Rob Young reports.

:11:27. > :11:31.Wakefield in West Yorkshire, one of the places where the high street is

:11:32. > :11:37.under pressure. Discount stores and empty shops abound. John Parker is

:11:38. > :11:43.still here, though, having run this newsagent for 30 years. I've seen so

:11:44. > :11:47.many changes with the multiples taking over the high streets. They

:11:48. > :11:51.are taking the lifeblood out of the town centre. We have got this

:11:52. > :11:55.doughnut like effect where are the big retailing is taking place around

:11:56. > :12:00.the perimeter of the town centres and the centre itself is becoming a

:12:01. > :12:03.voided area. So what is the state of the British high street? One in

:12:04. > :12:09.seven stores like this one are vacant. The losers are newsagents

:12:10. > :12:15.and shops selling women's clothing. Those that are opening our

:12:16. > :12:18.discounters and charity stores. Some councils in England are blaming

:12:19. > :12:23.supermarkets, so they want to levy a new tax on large stores to help

:12:24. > :12:25.smaller retailers. The supermarket levy is working successfully in

:12:26. > :12:29.Northern Ireland and Scotland already. If introduced in England it

:12:30. > :12:34.would enable councillors to bring in income, which they can then ploughed

:12:35. > :12:37.back into supporting small businesses and improving public

:12:38. > :12:41.services. Supermarkets are likely to resist the tax, arguing they pay

:12:42. > :12:45.enough already and provide lots of jobs. This business consultant

:12:46. > :12:49.carried out a review into high streets. He says a new tax will not

:12:50. > :12:54.help revive them. It is a laudable aim to improve town centres but the

:12:55. > :12:57.mechanism for doing it is questionable in terms of targeting

:12:58. > :13:01.one specific group, questionable in terms of whether the money will

:13:02. > :13:05.actually be used to rejuvenate town centres. I'm Mary Porter as and I

:13:06. > :13:08.want to find out whether our traditional high streets have

:13:09. > :13:11.reached the end of the road. The government accepts there is a

:13:12. > :13:15.problem and asked the retail expert to come up with a plan. Her

:13:16. > :13:19.suggestion, such as relaxing some regulations, are being tried out.

:13:20. > :13:23.Today, ministers want a new supermarket tax would push up food

:13:24. > :13:25.prices are so there do not seem to be any easy answers to improving the

:13:26. > :13:26.high Street. Now, with the day's big sports news

:13:27. > :13:29.- here's Katie Gornall at It's been a busy day at the

:13:30. > :13:36.Commonwealth Games here in Glasgow. There were 29 gold medals won -

:13:37. > :13:39.including two for Wales - their first of these games - in

:13:40. > :13:41.the rhythmic gymnastics and judo. But it's the host nation who have

:13:42. > :13:45.dominated the judo today with their flag bearer Euan Burton

:13:46. > :13:48.sparking a gold rush for Scotland. With more on the day's events,

:13:49. > :13:51.here's our sports correspondent His report does contain

:13:52. > :14:04.some flash photography. It is one of sport's ultimate fairy

:14:05. > :14:09.tale endings. Wales's Frankie Jones in triumph and in tears. The ribbon

:14:10. > :14:12.event was the last of her entire gymnastics career. She had gone into

:14:13. > :14:17.it with a remarkable five silver medals here in Glasgow, but no

:14:18. > :14:23.gold. This was her final chance, and how she took it. COMMENTATOR: What a

:14:24. > :14:29.competition she has had, whatever the result. After an agonising wait

:14:30. > :14:34.gold was eventually and emotionally confirmed. Jones could retire a

:14:35. > :14:37.Commonwealth champion. The last routine was for me and I was like

:14:38. > :14:42.I'm going to go more Dancy and Smylie and dans my heart out because

:14:43. > :14:46.it's my last thing ever. And that's the best way it could ever have

:14:47. > :14:50.finished. Around Glasgow, meanwhile, it was a day where fans flocked by

:14:51. > :14:55.any means possible. This is one of the busiest days of the entire

:14:56. > :14:59.Games, and some have even sailed here. This flotilla of 250 boats

:15:00. > :15:04.journeyed up the River Clyde, and once again for the home teams there

:15:05. > :15:08.has been plenty to cheer. For one sporting couple there were mixed

:15:09. > :15:13.fortunes. England's Gemma Gibbons lost her judo final to Wales's

:15:14. > :15:18.Natalie Powell, before watching her husband Euan Burton take gold.

:15:19. > :15:22.Burton was Scotland's flag bearer at the opening ceremony. Barely a dry

:15:23. > :15:27.eye in the house. I've been nervous all day to be honest. The crowd is

:15:28. > :15:31.expected and you are carrying the flag in front of your team. You are

:15:32. > :15:35.expected to do something so I'm pleased I was able to. There was

:15:36. > :15:40.more Scottish success in the velodrome. Neil Fachie and Craig

:15:41. > :15:45.McClayne charge into their second gold in Para cycling. It was a good

:15:46. > :15:51.day for England too, Zoe Smith weightlifting and back flipping her

:15:52. > :15:55.way to gold. While in the pool Adam Peaty beat Scotland's Ross Murdoch

:15:56. > :16:00.in the 100 meter breaststroke. And after three days of sunshine a

:16:01. > :16:04.lightning bolt. Usain Bolt's arrival spiking predictable excitement. The

:16:05. > :16:06.Games biggest name is finally in town.

:16:07. > :16:08.Let's move away from the games now to Formula One

:16:09. > :16:11.where Lewis Hamilton's troubles in qualifying continued.

:16:12. > :16:13.His engine burst into flames which means he'll start tomorrow's

:16:14. > :16:17.Hungarian Grand Prix from the pitlane.

:16:18. > :16:27.His team-mate and title rival Nico Rosberg took pole.

:16:28. > :16:31.And Vincenzo Nibali is on course to be crowned Tour de

:16:32. > :16:36.The Italian survived today's individual time trial

:16:37. > :16:38.and finished in fourth place to extend his overall lead.

:16:39. > :16:40.And the tradition of the yellow jersey not being attacked

:16:41. > :16:43.on the final day has practically confirmed him as the winner.

:16:44. > :16:47.The stage itself was won by world time trial champion Tony Martin.

:16:48. > :16:55.And that is all the sport, back to you.

:16:56. > :16:58.Tomorrow morning at eight on BBC1 Andrew Marr speaks to

:16:59. > :17:00.the labour leader, Ed Miliband on his public image and policies.

:17:01. > :17:20.and Wales but further North Northern Ireland is starting to see a change

:17:21. > :17:23.to something cooler. We will see cooler conditions in the next few

:17:24. > :17:28.days with temperatures down to the seasonal norm. Some sunshine around

:17:29. > :17:29.but also some rain in the forecast. In the
