In the Gaza conflict, both sides offer ceasefires and | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
blame each other as the fighting rages on. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Once again, it's often civilians who are in the firing line. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
There are more casualties in Israel - it claims Hamas has violated its | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Ukrainian troops pour into the area where the Malaysian | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Airlines crashed ten days ago there are reports of heavy fighting. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Order! Questions to the Prime Minister. | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
The Labour leader says the public should have | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
their own weekly question time with the Prime Minister. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
And Laura Trott wins gold for England at the Commonwealth Games. | :00:45. | :01:05. | |
President Obama has called for an immediate and unconditional | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
truce between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
After three weeks of fighting, Israel and Hamas had both offered | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
ceasefires today, but ended up launching new attacks on each other. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
1,032 Palestinians have been killed since the Israeli assault began. | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
45 Israelis have died - all but two of them soldiers. | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
Today was supposed to be quiet in Gaza. Israel extended its | :01:35. | :01:48. | |
cease-fire. But Hamas did not. This was filmed by the Israeli military. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
They say it shows rockets being fired from a school across the board | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
into Israel. What is the benefit to the Palestinian people of Hamas | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
breaking the truce and then having massive Israeli air fire? We are | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
looking for a total agreement and a full agreement that will end the | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
killing and lift the siege totally and get our freedom. This was | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Israel's response. It has just gone 10am in the morning. We were told | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
that Israel was a deer into the cease-fire and that we were OK to | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
travel in this area but we are hearing a fairly constant barrage of | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
artillery and we have seen smoke rising in a number of different | :02:31. | :02:40. | |
locations. There! EXPLOSION And intense bombardment followed. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Israel had declared its cease-fire over, but many residents were simply | :02:46. | :02:46. | |
unaware. The young mother said she was | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
running away with her children, echoes, her house had just been hit. | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
Just now. And while we talked to another | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
landing. EXPLOSION | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
They didn't even flinch. He says the shelling has become normal, even for | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
the children. It may have become normal for some, but no less | :03:20. | :03:29. | |
deadly. Emergency teams being called out. People have been injured. | :03:30. | :03:47. | |
Four people have been wounded. They said they had been working on their | :03:48. | :03:57. | |
farm. All of them had shrapnel wounds. | :03:58. | :04:08. | |
Even for a rescue workers the risks have been come every day -- become | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
everyday. There was hope of a longer cease-fire, even a peace process, | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
but this feels far from over. Israel has admitted its forces did | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
fire on a UN-run school in Gaza last week, in which 15 | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
people are said to have died. Israel claims one stray mortar | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
hit the school courtyard - which The Israeli Prime Minister, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Benjamin Netanyahu, has defended the Gaza operation, | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
saying Hamas broke its own truce Orla Guerin reports from | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Southern Israel. Mid-afternoon in Israel, a message | :04:42. | :04:55. | |
from Hamas. A rocket landed one hour into a cease-fire, which it had | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
announced. The homeowner was moderately wounded. And here, | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
Israel's response. The government insists it is pounding Gaza to stop | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
the rockets and to destroy a network of tunnels that can be used to | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
launch attacks. Israeli troops remain in position here close to the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Gaza border and they are still in position on the other side. In | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
recent days the defence minister has said the ground operation could be | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
broadened significantly. 20 days on, by Israeli standards, the Army | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
has already suffered heavy losses and we are just hearing the sound | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
now of outgoing fire. The justice minister Tzipi Livni was at the | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
bedside of one of the wounded troops. We are not allowed to show | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
his face. Israel has lost 43 soldiers, but it has killed hundreds | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
of Palestinian civilians. How can Israel try to justify raining | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
missiles down on one of the most densely populated areas on Earth? We | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
have tried to stop more than once. Just yesterday we took a decision in | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
the Israeli government to have a humanitarian cease-fire but Hamas | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
said no. She would not comment further but internationally the | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
questions keep coming about the huge number of innocent victims. On a | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
hill overlooking Gaza Israelis come to watch the warfare. For some a | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
spectator sport and four others a painful blister. I believe in peace | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
and I'm still hoping for peace. It's the first time I feel we didn't have | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
a choice. It's the first time it happened to me. But we need to do | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
what we need to do for now and let's hope that after that we are going to | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
start talking about peace. Few here expect that. Cease-fires may come | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
and go but there is no Palestinian state on the horizon. What Israelis | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
are fighting for now is an end to the rockets. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
There are reports of heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine, close to | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
the site where Malaysia Airlines Flight MH-17 crashed ten days ago. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
Government forces are trying to regain control of the area | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
It means a team of Dutch and Australian police officers have | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
been forced to postpone a visit to the crash site. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
Today, Ukrainian government forces rolled through countryside right | :07:27. | :07:41. | |
near the crash site of Flight MH17. Four months pro-Russian rebels have | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
controlled this area, but throughout this weekend there has been fierce | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
fighting nearby and gains for Ukraine's government. Not far-away | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
the city of Horlivka, where there has been heavy shelling. The video | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
seems genuine. Civilians have been killed today, including children. | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
Horlivka is near the strategically important rebel controlled city of | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
Donetsk. Advances by Ukraine's Army suggests they are trying to control | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
two main roads. The Ukrainian government believes they are key | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
supply lines from Russia for rebel forces in the city. And not far away | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
the crash site of Flight MH17 near the village of Hrabove. That is | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
where this Dutch police and forensics team wanted to go today. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
But they decided it wasn't safe. The Dutch Prime Minister said sending in | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
an armed team to the crash site is not an option. TRANSLATION: The | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
separatists have many heavily armed men close to the Russian border. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Achieving military superiority through an international mission in | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
this region is not realistic. Meanwhile, the US State Department | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
released these satellite images. The US says this one shows marks on the | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
ground where multiple rocket launchers were fired by Russia. Over | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
its border and into Ukraine. Moscow says Washington is guilty of blatant | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
lives. -- lies. But in the Dutch city of Hilversum where they are | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
identifying the victim 's tributes for those 298 passengers. Their | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
families want the truth, but it is proving hard for those countries | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
seeking answers. Here, the Deputy | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
Prime Minister Nick Clegg has said Russia should not be allowed to host | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
the next World Cup in four years Our Political correspondent | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Ross Hawkins is here. So Ross, | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
is this now government policy? Is this government policy? There is | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
no sign at all that this is what British diplomats will be arguing | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
for internationally. A completely different tone from Downing Street. | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
In their statement they said the prime and it believes we should not | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
push for an immediate boycott. I spoke to say Hugh Robertson who was | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
the Olympics minister and then a Foreign Office minister. He said he | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
thought Nick Clegg was right in principle, but in practice you would | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
need the agreement of all the European football authorities and | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
UEFA and he thought that was pretty unlikely. He stood down at the last | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
reshuffle. What will happen, though, is EU ambassadors will meet over the | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
next couple of days to hammer out a sanctions regime, and economic | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
sanctions regime, against Russia and there is an awareness in the UK at | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
the moment, that if they are not successful on Monday and Tuesday, it | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
is possible that ministers and conceivably even the Prime Minister | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
could have to travel to Brussels to get a deal. Thank you for joining | :10:40. | :10:40. | |
us. The Labour leader Ed Miliband says | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
the public should get the chance to interrogate the Prime Minister | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
in regular sessions at Parliament. MPs currently put questions to | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
the Prime Minister on a Wednesday - now Mr Miliband says voters should | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
have the same opportunity. Our political correspondent | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Adam Fleming reports. The familiar sound of | :10:59. | :10:59. | |
Prime Minister's Questions, held every Wednesday at midday | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
in the House of Commons. I think what we need is a public | :11:05. | :11:14. | |
question time, where regularly members of the public in the Palace | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
of Westminster on Wednesdays. Because I want to let the public | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
in to our politics. ordinary voters sitting | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
on the famous green benches. What is likely is that PMQs will | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
take place in Westminster Hall, where the Commons has | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
a lesser known sister chamber. Would you be first in the queue | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
if people's PMQs happened? Yes I would, | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
I have lots of questions. That is what we vote for - for them | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
to get in there and debate things. We've got more important | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
things to do. The Deputy Prime Minister hosts | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
a radio phone in every week. And Ed Miliband is often | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
on his soapbox. Voters really want the economy to | :12:12. | :12:12. | |
function, crime to be tackled, immigration to be tackled, decent | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
schools and decent hospitals. They say they want to be involved, | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
but actually what they really want To make his plan a reality Ed | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Miliband needs the agreement of the MPs would then vote on whether to | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
let the public in for people's PMQs. A new wave of violence is sweeping | :12:36. | :12:46. | |
through the Central African Republic despite a ceasefire agreement | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
between rival groups. The conflict began when Muslim | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
rebels seized power last year. More than a million people have | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
been forced from their homes. At the centre | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
of the latest fighting is the remote town of Bambari, where | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
the Muslim rebels have been fighting From there, our correspondent | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Andrew Harding reports. Armed men on the roads, a succession | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
of burnt villages and no sign of the cease-fire. We are heading to | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
Bambari, an isolated town at the centre of the new surge of violence | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
in the Central African Republic. Gunshot wounds at the local | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
hospital, mostly civilians here, Christians and Muslims targeted by | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
rival militias, spreading terror through the surrounding countryside. | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
TRANSLATION: My mother is there, my wife there, my Father and daughter | :13:48. | :13:57. | |
are dead. There is several areas of fighting. Along several axis outside | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
Bambari we found six villages being burned and every day we hear about | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
new villages being burned. In town a few thousand Muslims are trapped in | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
one neighbourhood, with no faith in a new cease-fire. TRANSLATION: The | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
only solution is to split this country in two. The Muslims take one | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
half. Meanwhile, the entire Christian population has fled to | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
crowded camps on the outskirts. French troops now patrol the no | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
man's land between the two religions. It brief show of force by | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
some Muslim fighters blocking the way. Don't threaten us, he says. We | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
will go where we want, when we want, the French officer replies. The town | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
here is sharply divided between Christian and Muslim. The French are | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
certainly making a difference, but there simply aren't enough of them | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
to secure this whole country. And this violence here still has a | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
lethal momentum. Nearby, the French stumble across an old man, naked and | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
near death, abandoned here when the town split in two. It is hard to | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
avoid comparisons with the wretched state of an entire nation. | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
Here's John Watson at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
It's Day 4 of the games and the start | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
of the athletics here with two gold medals already won at Hampden Park. | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
The first gold of the day went to Australia's Michael | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
Shelley in the men's marathon and double Olympic champion Laura Trott | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss rounds up the day's action. | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
The day began amid a Glasgow gloom, with the marathon, that test of | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
stamina on the streets. The slippery conditions didn't help, but the | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
sizeable crowds did and through the grade charged the green and gold, | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Australia's Michael Shelley winning the men's race while the winnings | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
Australia's Michael Shelley winning Daniel. At Hampden Park we have had | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
the start of the track and field. This is the home of Scottish | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
football and now an athletics arena. In the absence of some big stars is | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
a chance for others to make their name. Like England's Adam Jamesie, | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
fastest in the heat of the 100 metres and Betty Woodward, a silver | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
in the parrots bought a long jump. There was gold for the man with the | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
golden hair of Kenya, winning the 5000 metres. But the biggest roar | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
went to the man who came last. 17-year-old from the Solomon Islands | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
was lapped three times but cheered home like a champion. The day's | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
tightest finish came in the velodrome. England's Laura Trott | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
defying a kidney infection and Wales's Ellena Barker in the points | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
race. I just gave it my best shot and when I saw that Ellena was one | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
point ahead of me I thought I was dying but there was no way I was | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
losing the race. But for the hosts the night belonged to a Shetland | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
schoolgirl, 13-year-old Erin Davies, Scotland's youngest ever | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
Commonwealth competitor taking bronze in the parrots winning. The | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
home crowd have found a new favourite. -- para swimming. | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
Italy's Vincenzo Nibali has been crowned champion at the climax | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
of the Tour de France on the Champ-Elysees in Paris. | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
The Italian is the sixth rider to win all three | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Earlier, the Dutch world champion, Marianne Vos, sprinted to victory | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
In Formula One - the Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
But it was Lewis Hamilton who stole the show - | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
recovering from having to start in the pit lane to finish third. | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
It means Nico Rosberg's lead in the championship has been reduced | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
In cricket - England began the third Test match | :18:02. | :18:11. | |
Captain Alistair Cook coming close to ending a 14-month wait for a | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
first Test century, making 95 as the hosts dominated the opening day. | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
And a reminder of the main news: President Obama called on Israel and | :18:23. | :18:37. | |
Hamas to agree an immediate cease-fire in Gaza to pave the way | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
for a permanent peace deal. You can see more on all of today's | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
