:00:26. > :00:35.It seems there were people underneath this tree, they were

:00:56. > :00:58.of Wales, despite a puncture, At least ten people were killed

:00:59. > :01:14.in Gaza today in a missile strike close to

:01:15. > :01:18.a school run by the United Nations. Israel's military says it's

:01:19. > :01:20.investigating the attack, which comes less than a week after another

:01:21. > :01:23.school was hit by missile fire. The UN Secretary General

:01:24. > :01:25.Ban Ki-Moon called today's strike The attack happened in the

:01:26. > :01:33.town of Rafah, from where

:01:34. > :01:35.Jon Donnison sent this report. It contains some distressing

:01:36. > :01:57.images from the start. Almost 3000 desperate people

:01:58. > :02:09.sheltering here. Another missile strike, another crisis. In Gaza,

:02:10. > :02:13.nowhere is safe. The hospitals in Rafah are at breaking point, they

:02:14. > :02:17.are using the car park to treat people. This boy is 11 years old, he

:02:18. > :02:21.had been playing in the street when Israel bombed the house of his

:02:22. > :02:27.neighbour. He has a nasty head wound. The UN says that around 300

:02:28. > :02:33.children have died in Gaza. Israel is killing children, kids, women,

:02:34. > :02:38.all people. Kids, Young... There is no difference. This is where the

:02:39. > :02:45.missile struck, you can see the kerb-side here took quite a lot of

:02:46. > :02:49.the blast, a lot of the shrapnel went this way, we have another

:02:50. > :02:54.United Nations school where hundreds of families were seeking shelter ten

:02:55. > :02:58.metres away, it seems there were people under this tree, taking shade

:02:59. > :03:03.from the sun, that is where people were killed and injured.

:03:04. > :03:08.It is the third United Nations school shelter where people have

:03:09. > :03:15.died in Israeli attacks in just over one week. It is incomprehensible,

:03:16. > :03:19.how can this continue to happen, 33 times we have told them exactly

:03:20. > :03:23.where the shelter is, the last time was one hour before the strike. How

:03:24. > :03:27.does this continue to happen? We have called for an investigation, we

:03:28. > :03:34.will condemn this outrageous act of violence, how can it keep happening?

:03:35. > :03:41.For three days, this town has been pounded. More than 200 have died

:03:42. > :03:50.here. And tonight, people fear that it is still not over.

:03:51. > :04:00.James Reynolds is in Jerusalem, many cameras, -- clamours for a

:04:01. > :04:05.cease-fire, is there any sign that Israel is prepared to end attacks? I

:04:06. > :04:09.have come back from the Israel Gaza border, I saw plenty of signs that

:04:10. > :04:13.the war is continuing, along with my colleagues I saw incoming

:04:14. > :04:18.Palestinian rocket fire and Israeli tanks heading into Gaza, replacing

:04:19. > :04:22.tanks that were leaving. Israel may be withdrawing from some parts of

:04:23. > :04:26.Gaza but it is clear that its operation continues. The country has

:04:27. > :04:32.also been counting and burying the dead. The capture of a soldier was

:04:33. > :04:37.reported on Friday, it now turns out he was killed in battle, this

:04:38. > :04:43.evening his family buried him. Many Israelis continue to support the

:04:44. > :04:47.offensive into Gaza. Interestingly the government say that this is the

:04:48. > :04:52.latest round of Israel's unfinished War of independence. For that

:04:53. > :04:56.reason, from Israel's point of view, the fight goes on.

:04:57. > :04:58.Here, Labour Leader Ed Miliband says David Cameron

:04:59. > :05:01.should send what he called "a much clearer message" to Israel

:05:02. > :05:03.that its actions in Gaza are "unacceptable and unjustifiable".

:05:04. > :05:05.The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has today spoken to Israeli

:05:06. > :05:07.government ministers, restating Britain's call

:05:08. > :05:08.for an immediate and unconditional humanitarian ceasefire.

:05:09. > :05:18.Here's our Political Correspondent, Chris Mason.

:05:19. > :05:24.They are the images that have shaped peoples views of the conflict, and

:05:25. > :05:29.they are now shaping the political response to it well. Earlier this

:05:30. > :05:33.year, Ed Miliband went to Israel to pay respects to the victims of the

:05:34. > :05:39.Holocaust. Among them, his grandfather. He is strongly critical

:05:40. > :05:42.of Israel's actions now, he says it is inextricable that the Prime

:05:43. > :05:46.Minister has been silent on the killing of Palestinian civilians.

:05:47. > :05:52.What I want to hear from David Cameron is that he believes that

:05:53. > :05:56.Israel's actions in Gaza are wrong and unjustified, and we have not

:05:57. > :06:00.heard that from him. I believe that is what the British public are

:06:01. > :06:03.thinking as they see these tragic events unfolding on the television

:06:04. > :06:08.screens. Those remarks provoked an angry response from here, having

:06:09. > :06:13.repeated the Romans to's call for a cease-fire, a spokesperson has said

:06:14. > :06:16."we are shocked that Ed Miliband would seek to misrepresent the

:06:17. > :06:24.position and play politics with such a serious issue". That macro having

:06:25. > :06:32.repeated the calls for a cease-fire. Philip Hammond has said:

:06:33. > :06:38.-- having repeated the Prime Minister's call for a cease-fire.

:06:39. > :06:43.There is a difference of emphasis over language on how to report what

:06:44. > :06:49.we are seeing in Gaza, main parties in Westminster are calling for a

:06:50. > :06:54.cease-fire and all are critical of Hamas but the question is how

:06:55. > :06:57.strongly and forcefully to criticise Israel.

:06:58. > :07:01.A Royal Navy ship has evacuated around a hundred British people

:07:02. > :07:04.from Libya as violence in the country intensifies.

:07:05. > :07:08.An oil depot in the capital, Tripoli is burning for a second day

:07:09. > :07:10.after a rocket hit it during fighting between militia groups.

:07:11. > :07:13.More than 200 people have been killed in two weeks.

:07:14. > :07:15.The Foreign Office has urged British people to leave immediately,

:07:16. > :07:20.At least 175 people have been killed and more than 1000

:07:21. > :07:24.injured after a powerful earthquake struck in south-west China.

:07:25. > :07:27.The 6.1 magnitude quake struck near Jao-tong in Yunnan province,

:07:28. > :07:28.destroying buildings and power lines.

:07:29. > :07:30.A major rescue and relief operation is under way

:07:31. > :07:38.It is said to be the strongest quake to hit the province in 14 years.

:07:39. > :07:40.Final preparations are under way for tomorrow's commemorations to

:07:41. > :07:43.mark the centenary here of the start of World War One.

:07:44. > :07:45.Today, European leaders took part in events marking Germany's

:07:46. > :07:48.Britain declared war the following day.

:07:49. > :07:51.Our correspondent Robert Hall is at a Military Cemetery in Belgium

:07:52. > :08:05.now where one of the main service's will be held.

:08:06. > :08:10.One of the most beautiful cemeteries on the Western front, famous for the

:08:11. > :08:14.fact that former enemies lie in peace, that is why we can see this

:08:15. > :08:21.transformation has taken place behind me, and that is why this, in

:08:22. > :08:25.a way, is a symbol of a day in which Europe will mark sacrifice and

:08:26. > :08:28.celebrate new friendships. On the border which saw the start of a

:08:29. > :08:33.bloody conflict, two leaders celebrated friendship and marked the

:08:34. > :08:37.loss of life which resulted from past mistakes. 30,000 men died in

:08:38. > :08:43.the fighting which swept through these mountains, the cemetery here

:08:44. > :08:48.contains the graves of 12,000 soldiers, who were never identified.

:08:49. > :08:49.Today, the French and German president stood together, at the

:08:50. > :08:52.sight of a new memorial to president stood together, at the

:08:53. > :09:00.of life is opting from past mistakes. One century ago, the smoke

:09:01. > :09:03.of war was already gathering in European skies, France and Germany

:09:04. > :09:08.set on their own alterable course, Britain among the nations mobilising

:09:09. > :09:13.troops which still lie on the old battlefields. After the fighting

:09:14. > :09:19.around Mons, a Belgian offered German commanders this site, on

:09:20. > :09:22.condition that they buried enemies with honour, they agreed, and

:09:23. > :09:26.tomorrow, the cemetery will form a backdrop for more joint

:10:19. > :10:23.families will be asked to pause for a moment to remember those that lost

:10:24. > :10:26.their lives. There will be formal moments, music from Britain and

:10:27. > :10:30.Germany, but most importantly for the families that have come here

:10:31. > :10:33.from Britain and Germany, there will be the words of long lost

:10:34. > :10:36.eyewitnesses who actually fought here on the Western front. Thank

:10:37. > :10:47.you. After 11 days

:10:48. > :10:49.and more than 1300 medals, the Commonwealth Games in

:10:50. > :10:52.Glasgow is drawing to a close with Today's action saw England win two

:10:53. > :10:57.more golds to top the medals table, and there was glory too for Wales

:10:58. > :11:00.as Geraint Thomas rode to victory Our sports correspondent

:11:01. > :11:06.Natalie Pirks reports. Today marked the end of the road for

:11:07. > :11:09.the cycling and for the games, a puncture for Geraint Thomas near the

:11:10. > :11:12.end of the men's race left hearts in melts back in Wales, but the lead he

:11:13. > :11:18.had built up was enough for him to become the first Welsh man to win a

:11:19. > :11:24.Commonwealth cycling title. In her final race before retirement,

:11:25. > :11:29.England's Emma Pooley Road her heart out for Lizzie Armistead, setting a

:11:30. > :11:34.punishing pace. It is an emotional silver for Emma Pooley, her second

:11:35. > :11:38.of the games. The first husband and wife team to win the mixed doubles

:11:39. > :11:43.badminton title, yet another gold medal helping England top the medal

:11:44. > :11:52.table for the first time since 1986, exciting times for British sport. --

:11:53. > :11:56.rode. It shows that the legacy of 2012 has got people working hard and

:11:57. > :12:00.given them the extra boost. It was not just England who experienced

:12:01. > :12:04.major success, Scotland revelled in their role as hosts, sparing them

:12:05. > :12:09.onto unprecedented glory in these venues. Never before had flower of

:12:10. > :12:14.Scotland been some so many times and with such gusto. One of those great

:12:15. > :12:17.moments came when flag-bearers Euan Burton won his judo final. He

:12:18. > :12:21.believes the games will leave a lasting legacy. Great start with the

:12:22. > :12:26.weather, and with the opening ceremony, everybody has been raving

:12:27. > :12:31.about how fantastic the games are, it can only be positive for Scotland

:12:32. > :12:35.and sport in Scotland in the future. The friendly games Monica began life

:12:36. > :12:41.as a cliche but ended up being the truth, the warmth of the events

:12:42. > :12:45.summed up in the smile of a 13 year swimmer from Shetland, the poetic

:12:46. > :12:49.leaps of a record-breaking gymnast, and the beaming boxers, who joined

:12:50. > :12:52.her in the history books. The playfulness of a superstar who

:12:53. > :12:58.came, cause controversy, and conquered. And the shock of a

:12:59. > :13:03.Scotsman who could not quite believe he had beaten the country 's biggest

:13:04. > :13:06.star. -- caused controversy. The Gold Coast, up next, has a lot to

:13:07. > :13:12.live up to. So England finish top for the first

:13:13. > :13:17.time in 28 years, with a total And final preparations are under way

:13:18. > :13:28.for tonight's closing ceremony To get a flavour of what to expect,

:13:29. > :13:45.let's go live to Clive Myrie. We can hear the sound check taking

:13:46. > :13:49.place at the moment, I have got to be careful, I cannot give too much

:13:50. > :13:53.away, there is a man on stage after my left, I can say that tonight is

:13:54. > :13:58.going to be a celebration of a typical night out in Glasgow! Expect

:13:59. > :14:03.lots of music, lots of dance, some song. Kylie Minogue will be taking

:14:04. > :14:08.to the stage, and Lulu, who grew up here, she will be here as well.

:14:09. > :14:16.There will be the traditional flag ceremony as well, as the games here

:14:17. > :14:20.is officially declared closed. And the clock begins ticking on

:14:21. > :14:25.Australia's Gold Coast, hosting the games, 2018. Over the last four or

:14:26. > :14:30.five days the weather has been dreadful, Hamden Park has still been

:14:31. > :14:35.packed. 40,000 people turning up for all of the athletics and field

:14:36. > :14:39.events. The forecast tonight, more driving wind and rain, that will not

:14:40. > :14:45.dampen the enthusiasm of everyone turning up here. As Scotland

:14:46. > :14:50.officially says goodbye to the games. Thank you very much indeed.

:14:51. > :14:53.There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel, I'm back

:14:54. > :14:56.with the late news after the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony,
