A missile strike outside another United Nations school in Gaza. | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
At least ten people, including children, are killed. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
It struck near the entrance of the building | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
which had been sheltering thousands of people fleeing the fighting. | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
It seems there were people underneath this tree, they were | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
taking shape from the sun. -- shade. And that is how they were killed. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
The UN calls the attack "a moral outrage and criminal act". | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
France and Germany remember the many dead of World War One as | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
Europe commemorates the anniversary of the start of the conflict. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
COMMENTATOR: The first ever Welsh male to win a gold medal on two | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
wheels in the Commonwealth Games! And success for Geraint Thomas | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
of Wales, despite a puncture, At least ten people were killed | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
in Gaza today in a missile strike close to | :00:59. | :01:14. | |
a school run by the United Nations. Israel's military says it's | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
investigating the attack, which comes less than a week after another | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
school was hit by missile fire. The UN Secretary General | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Ban Ki-Moon called today's strike The attack happened in the | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
town of Rafah, from where | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
Jon Donnison sent this report. It contains some distressing | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
images from the start. Almost 3000 desperate people | :01:36. | :01:57. | |
sheltering here. Another missile strike, another crisis. In Gaza, | :01:58. | :02:09. | |
nowhere is safe. The hospitals in Rafah are at breaking point, they | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
are using the car park to treat people. This boy is 11 years old, he | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
had been playing in the street when Israel bombed the house of his | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
neighbour. He has a nasty head wound. The UN says that around 300 | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
children have died in Gaza. Israel is killing children, kids, women, | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
all people. Kids, Young... There is no difference. This is where the | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
missile struck, you can see the kerb-side here took quite a lot of | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
the blast, a lot of the shrapnel went this way, we have another | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
United Nations school where hundreds of families were seeking shelter ten | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
metres away, it seems there were people under this tree, taking shade | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
from the sun, that is where people were killed and injured. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
It is the third United Nations school shelter where people have | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
died in Israeli attacks in just over one week. It is incomprehensible, | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
how can this continue to happen, 33 times we have told them exactly | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
where the shelter is, the last time was one hour before the strike. How | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
does this continue to happen? We have called for an investigation, we | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
will condemn this outrageous act of violence, how can it keep happening? | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
For three days, this town has been pounded. More than 200 have died | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
here. And tonight, people fear that it is still not over. | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
James Reynolds is in Jerusalem, many cameras, -- clamours for a | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
cease-fire, is there any sign that Israel is prepared to end attacks? I | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
have come back from the Israel Gaza border, I saw plenty of signs that | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
the war is continuing, along with my colleagues I saw incoming | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Palestinian rocket fire and Israeli tanks heading into Gaza, replacing | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
tanks that were leaving. Israel may be withdrawing from some parts of | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Gaza but it is clear that its operation continues. The country has | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
also been counting and burying the dead. The capture of a soldier was | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
reported on Friday, it now turns out he was killed in battle, this | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
evening his family buried him. Many Israelis continue to support the | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
offensive into Gaza. Interestingly the government say that this is the | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
latest round of Israel's unfinished War of independence. For that | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
reason, from Israel's point of view, the fight goes on. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
Here, Labour Leader Ed Miliband says David Cameron | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
should send what he called "a much clearer message" to Israel | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
that its actions in Gaza are "unacceptable and unjustifiable". | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has today spoken to Israeli | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
government ministers, restating Britain's call | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
for an immediate and unconditional humanitarian ceasefire. | :05:08. | :05:08. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent, Chris Mason. | :05:09. | :05:18. | |
They are the images that have shaped peoples views of the conflict, and | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
they are now shaping the political response to it well. Earlier this | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
year, Ed Miliband went to Israel to pay respects to the victims of the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Holocaust. Among them, his grandfather. He is strongly critical | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
of Israel's actions now, he says it is inextricable that the Prime | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
Minister has been silent on the killing of Palestinian civilians. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
What I want to hear from David Cameron is that he believes that | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
Israel's actions in Gaza are wrong and unjustified, and we have not | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
heard that from him. I believe that is what the British public are | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
thinking as they see these tragic events unfolding on the television | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
screens. Those remarks provoked an angry response from here, having | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
repeated the Romans to's call for a cease-fire, a spokesperson has said | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
"we are shocked that Ed Miliband would seek to misrepresent the | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
position and play politics with such a serious issue". That macro having | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
repeated the calls for a cease-fire. Philip Hammond has said: | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
-- having repeated the Prime Minister's call for a cease-fire. | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
There is a difference of emphasis over language on how to report what | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
we are seeing in Gaza, main parties in Westminster are calling for a | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
cease-fire and all are critical of Hamas but the question is how | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
strongly and forcefully to criticise Israel. | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
A Royal Navy ship has evacuated around a hundred British people | :06:58. | :07:01. | |

At least 175 people have been killed and more than 1000 | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
injured after a powerful earthquake struck in south-west China. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
The 6.1 magnitude quake struck near Jao-tong in Yunnan province, | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
destroying buildings and power lines. | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
A major rescue and relief operation is under way | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
It is said to be the strongest quake to hit the province in 14 years. | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
Final preparations are under way for tomorrow's commemorations to | :07:39. | :07:40. | |

Today, European leaders took part in events marking Germany's | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
Britain declared war the following day. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Our correspondent Robert Hall is at a Military Cemetery in Belgium | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
now where one of the main service's will be held. | :07:52. | :08:05. | |
One of the most beautiful cemeteries on the Western front, famous for the | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
fact that former enemies lie in peace, that is why we can see this | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
transformation has taken place behind me, and that is why this, in | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
a way, is a symbol of a day in which Europe will mark sacrifice and | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
celebrate new friendships. On the border which saw the start of a | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
bloody conflict, two leaders celebrated friendship and marked the | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
loss of life which resulted from past mistakes. 30,000 men died in | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
the fighting which swept through these mountains, the cemetery here | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
contains the graves of 12,000 soldiers, who were never identified. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Today, the French and German president stood together, at the | :08:49. | :08:49. | |
sight of a new memorial to president stood together, at the | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
of life is opting from past mistakes. One century ago, the smoke | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
of war was already gathering in European skies, France and Germany | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
set on their own alterable course, Britain among the nations mobilising | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
troops which still lie on the old battlefields. After the fighting | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
around Mons, a Belgian offered German commanders this site, on | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
condition that they buried enemies with honour, they agreed, and | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
tomorrow, the cemetery will form a backdrop for more joint | :09:23. | :09:26. | |

their lives. There will be formal moments, music from Britain and | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
Germany, but most importantly for the families that have come here | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
from Britain and Germany, there will be the words of long lost | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
eyewitnesses who actually fought here on the Western front. Thank | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
you. After 11 days | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
and more than 1300 medals, the Commonwealth Games in | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
Glasgow is drawing to a close with Today's action saw England win two | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
more golds to top the medals table, and there was glory too for Wales | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
as Geraint Thomas rode to victory Our sports correspondent | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
Natalie Pirks reports. Today marked the end of the road for | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
the cycling and for the games, a puncture for Geraint Thomas near the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
end of the men's race left hearts in melts back in Wales, but the lead he | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
had built up was enough for him to become the first Welsh man to win a | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
Commonwealth cycling title. In her final race before retirement, | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
England's Emma Pooley Road her heart out for Lizzie Armistead, setting a | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
punishing pace. It is an emotional silver for Emma Pooley, her second | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
of the games. The first husband and wife team to win the mixed doubles | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
badminton title, yet another gold medal helping England top the medal | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
table for the first time since 1986, exciting times for British sport. -- | :11:44. | :11:52. | |
rode. It shows that the legacy of 2012 has got people working hard and | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
given them the extra boost. It was not just England who experienced | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
major success, Scotland revelled in their role as hosts, sparing them | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
onto unprecedented glory in these venues. Never before had flower of | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
Scotland been some so many times and with such gusto. One of those great | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
moments came when flag-bearers Euan Burton won his judo final. He | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
believes the games will leave a lasting legacy. Great start with the | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
weather, and with the opening ceremony, everybody has been raving | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
about how fantastic the games are, it can only be positive for Scotland | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
and sport in Scotland in the future. The friendly games Monica began life | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
as a cliche but ended up being the truth, the warmth of the events | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
summed up in the smile of a 13 year swimmer from Shetland, the poetic | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
leaps of a record-breaking gymnast, and the beaming boxers, who joined | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
her in the history books. The playfulness of a superstar who | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
came, cause controversy, and conquered. And the shock of a | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
Scotsman who could not quite believe he had beaten the country 's biggest | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
star. -- caused controversy. The Gold Coast, up next, has a lot to | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
live up to. So England finish top for the first | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
time in 28 years, with a total And final preparations are under way | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
for tonight's closing ceremony To get a flavour of what to expect, | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
let's go live to Clive Myrie. We can hear the sound check taking | :13:29. | :13:45. | |
place at the moment, I have got to be careful, I cannot give too much | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
away, there is a man on stage after my left, I can say that tonight is | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
going to be a celebration of a typical night out in Glasgow! Expect | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
lots of music, lots of dance, some song. Kylie Minogue will be taking | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
to the stage, and Lulu, who grew up here, she will be here as well. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
There will be the traditional flag ceremony as well, as the games here | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
is officially declared closed. And the clock begins ticking on | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
Australia's Gold Coast, hosting the games, 2018. Over the last four or | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
five days the weather has been dreadful, Hamden Park has still been | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
packed. 40,000 people turning up for all of the athletics and field | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
events. The forecast tonight, more driving wind and rain, that will not | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
dampen the enthusiasm of everyone turning up here. As Scotland | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
officially says goodbye to the games. Thank you very much indeed. | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel, I'm back | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
with the late news after the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony, | :14:54. | :14:56. |
