Israel has resumed its military offensive in Gaza | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Eight more people are reported to have been killed this morning | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Palestinian militants have launched more rocket attacks on Israel. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
From Gaza our correspondent Chris Morris reports. | :00:34. | :00:45. | |
Early this morning, the shelling resumed. Hamas had continued to fire | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
rockets at Israel. And this was Israel's response. Heavy fire into | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
districts all along this narrow strip of land. And while Israel | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
insists that it's only targeting Hamas and its infrastructure, the | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
vast majority of the dead and injured are Palestinian civilians. | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
Already fresh casualties are arriving here at Gaza City's main | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
hospital. These are victims of shelling in the eastern district. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Any hopes of a peaceful holiday to mark the end of the Muslim holy | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
month of Ramadan appear to be dashed. Hamas then announced another | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
truce. Will it take hold? No-one can be sure. The devastation is already | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
staggering. This was a northern town during the ceasefire yesterday. A | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
huge crater caused by an air strike and nearby houses in ruins. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
TRANSLATION: What use is a truce to us now? They destroyed all our homes | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
just before the ceasefire began. This is where it ends for too many | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
people in Gaza. A burial without ceremony in a patch of waste ground. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
This man's body had been hidden beneath the rubble for seven days. | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
On the makeshift headstone, they scrawl his name. Now, Gaza will be | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
braced for much worse to come. Our correspondent Bethany Bell | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
is in Jerusalem. Is it clear how Israel intends to go | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
forward from now? The Israeli security cabinet is due to meet | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
later today to discuss that very question. We understand that some | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
ministers may want to broaden the Gaza operation while others may want | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
to see the offensive going on as it is. The priority for the army is to | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
destroy the network of cross-border tunnels through which Palestinian | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
militants have been trying to get into Israel. Certainly, from what we | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
are seeing at the moment, there doesn't seem to be much sign that | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
the government is preparing to go along with the international | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
pressure for a more long-term ceasefire. For now, as well, the | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
people of Israel are strongly behind the army. They say they are | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
concerned about the rocket fire, they are concerned about the | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
continuing threat from the tunnels and they say it is the job of the | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
army to protect Israel. The Prime Minister says he doesn't | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
support any immediate move to strip Russia of the right to host | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
the 2018 World Cup. Earlier the Deputy Prime Minister, | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
Nick Clegg said it would be "unthinkable" for the tournament to | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
be staged in Russia because of its Our political correspondent | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Ross Hawkins is here. Is there a split at the top of the | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
Government? There is a difference of emphasis. At Number Ten, they are | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
emphasising the fact that Nick Clegg said "if" - if it continued along | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
the path it had been going along. Labour have a lot of ifs in their | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
position - if Russia is proved responsible for the fate of Flight | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
MH17, and if they continue to support separatists then they say | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
there will be questions about this. It is worth remembering Nick Clegg | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
has gone further than his colleagues before. He decided no Lib Dem | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Minister would attend the Winter Olympics in Sochi in protest about | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Russian anti-gay legislation and certainly Liberal Democrats will | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
hope that amid the complexity of talk about sanctions and diplomacy, | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
this would be a simple threat that the public, that the Russians and | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
the world could easily understand. The Labour leader Ed Miliband has | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
said the public should have their own version | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
of Prime Minister's Questions. MPs currently put questions to | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
the Prime Minister on a Wednesday. Mr Miliband says voters should be | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
allowed to do the same, Our political correspondent | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Adam Fleming reports. It's got insults... The right | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
honourable gentleman is acting like a con man. Unlike him, Lady Thatcher | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
won the general election! It's got questions. Has he ever had a | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
conversation with Lynton Crosby about plain cigarette packaging... | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
And sometimes answers. He's never lobbied me on anything. The Labour | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
Leader says PMQs is missing something. The public. We need a | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
public question time where regularly the Prime Minister submits himself | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
or herself to questioning from members of the public in the Palace | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
of Westminster on Wednesdays, so that - why is that important? I want | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
to let the public in to our politics! Westminster is a | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
traditional place. So it is unlikely we will see ordinary voters sitting | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
on the benches. PMQs will take place over there in Westminster Hall where | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
the Commons has a lesser known sister chamber. Would you be first | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
in the queue if PMQs happened? I would. I have lots of questions. If | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
you could get a ticket for this PMQs, what would you ask? Oh, that's | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
a good question! Some polling experts believe the public cares | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
most about what politicians do. Voters really want the economy to | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
function, crime to be tackled, immigration to be tackled, decent | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
schools and hospitals. They say they want to be involved, but what they | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
want is for these things to go well. Number Ten said the Prime Minister | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
already faces voters in regular question and answer sessions but he | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
is open to ways of getting the public more involved in politics. | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
At the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow there are 24 gold medals | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
The first gold of the day went to Australia's Michael | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks rounds up the day so far. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Her report does contain some flash photography from the start. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
With Usain Bolt in town, today it was a marathon not a sprint that | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
started off the athletics. The 25 men were out first and despite | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
missing some major stars, there were still some great stories, and when | :07:27. | :07:40. | |
the women went out, there were seven home nation athletes competing. This | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
is the biggest spectator weekend of the Games, one of three free events | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
here and big crowds are expected to pack the finish line. With a grimace | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
on his face, Michael Shelley, the Commonwealth silver medallist from | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Delhi, kicked on to claim gold and a new personal best. In the women's | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
race, Flomena Cheyech Daniel added Commonwealth gold to her Paris | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
marathon win. There were smiles all round for England's | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
marathon win. There were smiles all Kerwood, she won gold. Great news | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
for Scotland in the men's pair lawns bowls, they came back to beat | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
England 16-15. Cricket - | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
and England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and chose to bat | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
in the Third Test against India He's under pressure to perform | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
after facing calls to stand down, as our sports correspondent | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
Joe Wilson reports. Ready or not, here it comes. 11.00am | :08:47. | :09:00. | |
when the umpire says it starts - it starts! So facing up, Alastair Cook | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
under intense scrutiny, about a metre short of a first-ball nought. | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
Cook on 15, there was the tentative push. Where was the catch? If this | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
was to be Cook's great recovery, India were giving him every | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
opportunity. Starting a Test Match on a Sunday, not to everyone's | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
taste, at least it was sunny! Cook was starting to look good, | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
seriously. Advised by England's captains of the recent past to take | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
a break, Cook opts to battle. England were past 50 and starting to | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
feel at ease when Sam Robson fell. Robson could use some runs, too. But | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Cook will resume 48 not out, morning which may have changed the | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
course of his career. The next news on BBC One is at | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
4.50pm. Bye for now. Thank you for joining me. It is time | :10:00. | :10:16. | |
to have a look at what Mother Nature has up her sleeve this week. | :10:17. | :10:20. |
