:00:51. > :01:20.At least ten people were killed in Gaza today

:01:21. > :01:24.by a missile strike close to a school run by the United Nations.

:01:25. > :01:26.The UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, called it

:01:27. > :01:35.The United States called it "appalling".

:01:36. > :01:39.Israel's military said it was investigating.

:01:40. > :01:44.More than 1,700 Palestinians and nearly 70 Israelis, most of them

:01:45. > :01:47.soldiers, are now reported to have died, after 27 days of fighting.

:01:48. > :01:50.Today's attack happened in the town of Rafah, from where

:01:51. > :02:01.I must tell you, it contains some distressing images from the start.

:02:02. > :02:12.Carnage at the school gates. Death rained down on children playing.

:02:13. > :02:19.Israel says it was targeting militants on a motorbike, but this

:02:20. > :02:28.was a clearly marked United Nations school where 3000 people had sought

:02:29. > :02:33.shelter. The UN called it criminal. Its income principle. How can this

:02:34. > :02:37.continue to happen with all of this information? We have told them 33

:02:38. > :02:43.times exactly where this shelter is. How does this continue to happen? We

:02:44. > :02:46.have called for an investigation, we will call again, condemn this

:02:47. > :02:52.outrageous act but how can it keep happening? But it did happen again

:02:53. > :02:57.and poor innocent victims were rushed to hospitals that are

:02:58. > :03:04.overwhelmed. Some were treated in the car park. The UN says Israel has

:03:05. > :03:14.killed around 330 Palestinian children in under 30 days. One of

:03:15. > :03:19.the children wounded today is being treated hair. He is a 13-year-old

:03:20. > :03:23.boy and he is in critical condition. He was at the school gates with his

:03:24. > :03:26.ten-year-old brother, they were buying chocolates and sweets with

:03:27. > :03:33.lots of other children, they thought they would be safer. He has struck

:03:34. > :03:39.goal in his chest. Doctors say he keeps asking for his full brother

:03:40. > :03:44.Tariq. They haven't told he is dead. His father says they their home

:03:45. > :03:52.three days ago but could not escape Israel's guns. Trans Asia A there

:03:53. > :03:59.was random shelling at our house. They don't differentiate between

:04:00. > :04:04.young or old. We escaped to the UN school to be protected, but there's

:04:05. > :04:10.nowhere to go. All we can do is throw ourselves in the sea. At the

:04:11. > :04:15.school, his wife showed me the place where she found ten-year-old Tariq

:04:16. > :04:23.fatally wounded. She tells me he was a good boy who just wanted a normal

:04:24. > :04:29.life. Transition macro I want to go to school and learn, he used to

:04:30. > :04:37.say. I want to live like every child. Why did this happen to my

:04:38. > :04:43.dear son? Why? Back at the hospital there was no room in the morgue for

:04:44. > :04:47.all the new dead. Locals insisted to us there were no militants in or

:04:48. > :04:51.near the school, just defenceless Palestinian civilians.

:04:52. > :04:55.Israel's military campaign has been going on for nearly a month now,

:04:56. > :04:58.and during that time public support for it has remained strong.

:04:59. > :05:00.Our Correspondent James Reynolds assesses the mood there,

:05:01. > :05:10.amid little sign of a let-up in attacks from either side.

:05:11. > :05:19.This does not yet look like the end of the war. This afternoon we saw

:05:20. > :05:23.Israeli armour heading into Gaza. Replacing tanks which are leaving.

:05:24. > :05:28.Israel is scaling down some of its forces from Gaza. This armoured

:05:29. > :05:37.personnel carrier is leaving the territory, but Israel's operation is

:05:38. > :05:47.not finished. The long war against attempt Hamas continues. 90% of this

:05:48. > :05:56.woman's neighbours have fled their homes. I want all the missiles to

:05:57. > :06:04.stop. I really want all our people who live now outside of this area to

:06:05. > :06:08.come back, and we can live quietly. That need for quite causes Israel to

:06:09. > :06:17.pursue its offensive. This weekend on the border, without a military

:06:18. > :06:21.unit ready to keep fighting. The motivation is very high, before most

:06:22. > :06:28.of us came here, we had shooting in our places, I was caught up in Tel

:06:29. > :06:31.Aviv, in a shelter, there was nothing I could do. So we have to do

:06:32. > :06:34.something, we have the company and finished a shelter, there was

:06:35. > :06:36.nothing I could do. So we have to do something, the company and finished

:06:37. > :06:42.the thing with Hamas. This evening, their fellow soldier was buried. He

:06:43. > :06:48.was reported captured on Friday but later confirmed killed. Israel cause

:06:49. > :06:55.his death part of this country's unfinished war of independence.

:06:56. > :06:57.Here, the Labour Leader, Ed Miliband, says David Cameron

:06:58. > :07:00.should send what he called "a much clearer message" to Israel

:07:01. > :07:03.that its actions in Gaza are "unacceptable and unjustifiable".

:07:04. > :07:05.The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has today spoken to Israeli

:07:06. > :07:17.ministers - restating Britain's call for an immediate and unconditional

:07:18. > :07:19.humanitarian ceasefire. Here's our Political Correspondent,

:07:20. > :07:27.Chris Mason. They are the images now shaping the

:07:28. > :07:32.political response to the conflict. Earlier this year Ed Miliband went

:07:33. > :07:37.to Israel to pay his respects to the victims of the Holocaust. Amongst

:07:38. > :07:41.them, his grandfather. But he is strongly critical of Israel's

:07:42. > :07:44.actions now and says it is inexplicable that the Prime Minister

:07:45. > :07:47.has been silent on the killing of Palestinian civilians.

:07:48. > :07:50.What I want to hear from David Cameron, is that he believed that

:07:51. > :07:55.and not justifiable, and we have not heard that from him, but I think

:07:56. > :08:01.that is what the British public are thinking, as they see these

:08:02. > :08:10.Tragic events unfolding. Those remarks provoked an angry response.

:08:11. > :08:16.A spokesman said, we are shocked that Ed Miliband would seek to

:08:17. > :08:20.misrepresent the position and play politics with such a serious issue.

:08:21. > :08:29.The Foreign Secretary Dilip Ament told a Sunday newspaper:

:08:30. > :08:38.-- Philip Hammond. This is a political argument over how best to

:08:39. > :08:42.describe what we are seeing in Gaza. It's a different of emphasis over

:08:43. > :08:47.language. All the main parties at Westminster are calling for a

:08:48. > :08:51.cease-fire. All are critical of Hamas. The disagreement is over how

:08:52. > :08:58.strongly and explicitly to criticise Israel. In the last few moments we

:08:59. > :09:02.have heard that Israel has declared a humanitarian truce for most of the

:09:03. > :09:07.Gaza Strip for seven hours tomorrow morning.

:09:08. > :09:09.A Royal Navy ship has evacuated around a hundred British people

:09:10. > :09:14.from Libya, as violence in the country intensifies.

:09:15. > :09:16.HMS Enterprise was sent to offer a route out of the country,

:09:17. > :09:19.after the UK urged its citizens to leave and announced

:09:20. > :09:23.Fighting between rival militia groups has worsened in the country -

:09:24. > :09:30.more than 200 people have been killed in two weeks.

:09:31. > :09:33.More than 360 people are reported to have been killed and more than

:09:34. > :09:40.1,300 injured after a powerful earthquake in south-west China.

:09:41. > :09:43.The 6.1 magnitude quake struck near Zhaotong in Yunnan province -

:09:44. > :09:45.destroying buildings and power lines.

:09:46. > :09:47.A major rescue and relief operation is under way

:09:48. > :09:55.It is said to be the strongest quake to hit the province in 14 years.

:09:56. > :09:57.Final preparations are under way for tomorrow's commemorations to

:09:58. > :10:00.mark the centenary here of the start of World War One.

:10:01. > :10:02.Today, European leaders took part in events marking Germany's

:10:03. > :10:06.Britain went to war the following day.

:10:07. > :10:08.Our Correspondent Robert Hall reports from a Military Cemetery

:10:09. > :10:18.near Mons in Belgium, where one of the main ceremonies will be held.

:10:19. > :10:25.On the border which saw the start of a bloody conflict, two leaders

:10:26. > :10:31.celebrate friendship and mark the loss of life which resulted in past

:10:32. > :10:36.mystics. 30,000 men died in the fighting which swept through these

:10:37. > :10:41.mountings -- Mountains. The cemetery contains the graves of 12,000

:10:42. > :10:43.soldiers who were never identified. Today the French and German

:10:44. > :10:48.president stood together at the sight of a new memorial to the loss

:10:49. > :10:53.of life resulting from past mistakes. A century ago the smoke of

:10:54. > :10:57.war was already gathering in European skies. France and Germany

:10:58. > :11:03.set on their unalterable course. Britain among the nations mobilising

:11:04. > :11:08.troops, who still lie on the old battlefields. After the fighting

:11:09. > :11:12.around Mons, a Belgian of the German commanders this site on condition

:11:13. > :11:15.they buried the enemies with honour. They agreed and tomorrow the

:11:16. > :11:23.cemetery will form the backdrop for more joint act of remembrance with

:11:24. > :11:27.direct links to the past. As many as 90 members of families are coming to

:11:28. > :11:30.join us, that's a wonderful part of the event and the sum of them it's

:11:31. > :11:35.going to be the first time they have been to this cemetery, the first

:11:36. > :11:38.they have visited the grave. A series of ceremonies have been

:11:39. > :11:41.planned to recall the start of a cataclysmic war. In Glasgow

:11:42. > :11:46.Commonwealth leaders will gather for a service of remembrance. In

:11:47. > :11:51.Folkestone Prince Harry will unveil memorial above the port where

:11:52. > :11:56.soldiers embarked for France. In Belgium, 50 heads of state will

:11:57. > :12:03.attend a ceremony in Li?ge. The final ceremony will be held in

:12:04. > :12:08.Westminster Abbey. A century on, towns, villages, families will pause

:12:09. > :12:15.to remember a war which cost and which changed so many lives. This is

:12:16. > :12:21.one of the most peaceful cemeteries on the Western front. Men who once

:12:22. > :12:25.fought each other now my MP side-by-side. That is why Europe

:12:26. > :12:31.will tomorrow Mark sacrifice and celebrate new friendship.

:12:32. > :12:33.After 11 days and more than 1,300 medals, the

:12:34. > :12:35.Commonwealth Games in has just ended with tonight's closing ceremony.

:12:36. > :12:43.My colleague Clive Myrie watched it all - let's hand over to him now.

:12:44. > :12:51.Yes, here at Glasgow's Hamden Park, the organisers promised a party to

:12:52. > :12:55.end all parties, to say goodbye to the Games. With the help of the

:12:56. > :12:59.Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Kylie Minogue and eight giant

:13:00. > :13:06.glitter balls, they didn't disappoint.

:13:07. > :13:12.It is a night for Glasgow to take pride in what it has done and who

:13:13. > :13:20.better to shout of that prides one of the city's on, known as Lulu.

:13:21. > :13:25.Pride, to come in the spirit of these Games. The mass public

:13:26. > :13:34.involvement, the embrace this passionately Scottish city has

:13:35. > :13:38.extended to its guests. Point has been by universal acclaim

:13:39. > :13:43.outstanding Games in Commonwealth history. And a chance for Glasgow,

:13:44. > :13:47.so long associated with industrial decline, to show the world it's

:13:48. > :13:55.reinvented, rejuvenated 21st-century self. These have truly been the

:13:56. > :14:03.people's Games. Scotland and Glasgow, you really have delivered

:14:04. > :14:13.in every aspect, the best Games ever. And so the flag passes to the

:14:14. > :14:18.Australian city of Gold Coast, hosts in 2018. And a Scottish pipe band

:14:19. > :14:29.played Waltzing Matilda. But this was the Antipodean

:14:30. > :14:33.connection Glasgow was waiting for. Kylie Minogue, come to Hampden Park

:14:34. > :14:40.to spirit the friendly Games to Australia. It has been an

:14:41. > :14:46.exhilarating 11 day party that Glasgow does not want to end. For

:14:47. > :14:50.these Commonwealth Games, whose value is often question, are not

:14:51. > :14:58.questioned tonight. Their impact on the city's reputation in the world

:14:59. > :15:04.seems to night unmistakable. And then the popular anthem Caledonia.

:15:05. > :15:08.It is an explicit love song to Scotland. In this most decisive year

:15:09. > :15:18.for the UK, England fans, too, joined in the chorus. And as the

:15:19. > :15:21.lights go down at Hampden, Glasgow hands the Commonwealth Games on,

:15:22. > :15:26.including health and they have ever been. -- in ruder health than they

:15:27. > :15:32.have ever been. In the last

:15:33. > :15:34.of the Games' sporting Glasgow action, England won two golds to

:15:35. > :15:36.finish top the medals table. There was glory too for Wales

:15:37. > :15:39.as Geraint Thomas rode to victory Our sports correspondent

:15:40. > :15:42.Natalie Pirks reports now on all the day's action and assesses

:15:43. > :15:54.the legacy of the Glasgow games. Today marked the end of the road for

:15:55. > :15:59.the cycling and the Games. A puncture for Geraint Thomas near the

:16:00. > :16:02.end of the men's race left heart in mouth is in Wales but the lead he

:16:03. > :16:07.had built up was nothing to become the first Welshman to win a

:16:08. > :16:10.Commonwealth cycling title. In her final race before retirement, Emma

:16:11. > :16:12.Pooley wrote a Commonwealth cycling title. In her final race before

:16:13. > :16:15.retirement, Emma Pooley Road heart out on Lizzie Armitstead, setting a

:16:16. > :16:22.pushing pace before Armitstead could pull away. An emotional silver for

:16:23. > :16:26.Pooley. Elsewhere, Chris and Gabby Adcock became the first

:16:27. > :16:30.husband-and-wife team to win the mixed doubles badminton title, yet

:16:31. > :16:34.another gold helping England topped the medal table for the first time

:16:35. > :16:41.since 1986. Exciting times for British sport. It just shows that

:16:42. > :16:43.the legacy of London 2012 has been inspiring people, getting people

:16:44. > :16:49.working hard, giving them the extra boost they need. It wasn't just

:16:50. > :16:54.England to experience success, Scotland revelled in their role as

:16:55. > :16:58.hosts, sparing them onto unprecedented glory. Never before

:16:59. > :17:03.had flower of Scotland been sung so many times and with such gusto. One

:17:04. > :17:08.of those great moments came when Euan Burton won his judo final. He

:17:09. > :17:14.believed the Games will leave a lasting legacy. We have a great

:17:15. > :17:18.start with the weather, the opening ceremony, everybody has been raving

:17:19. > :17:23.about the Games, it can only be positive for sport in Scotland in

:17:24. > :17:28.the future. The friendly Games moniker began life as a cliche but

:17:29. > :17:32.ended up being true. The warmth summed up in the smile of a

:17:33. > :17:36.13-year-old swimmer from Shetland, the poetic leaps of a gymnast who

:17:37. > :17:41.broke records and the beams of the boxes who joined her in the history

:17:42. > :17:46.books. The playfulness of a superstar who came, caused

:17:47. > :17:49.controversy and conquered. And the shock of a Scot who couldn't quite

:17:50. > :17:54.believe he had beaten the country's biggest star. The Gold Coast up next

:17:55. > :18:01.has a lot to live up to. So England finish top for the first

:18:02. > :18:05.time in 28 years, with a total Scotland are fourth with

:18:06. > :18:11.a record-breaking 53 in all,while Wales are 13th

:18:12. > :18:29.and Northern Ireland's boxing golds So Glasgow has now officially handed

:18:30. > :18:36.over the baton for the 2018 Commonwealth Games to the Gold Coast

:18:37. > :18:37.of Australia. That's all from Hampden Park. Do stay with us, time

:18:38. > :18:38.for
