:02:06. > :02:11.Adler in Tel Aviv. There is a lot of shock here in Tel
:02:11. > :02:15.Aviv in the aftermath of that bus bombing. Tel Aviv, Israel's
:02:15. > :02:19.cultural commercial capital used to being removed from conflict these
:02:19. > :02:24.days. Since this military operation began in the Gaza Strip, it is the
:02:24. > :02:28.first time that a Gaza rocket landed in this city and now the bus
:02:28. > :02:34.bombing. Everybody here is wondering whether this will be a
:02:34. > :02:37.game changer. This area known for liberal Israelis and they are they
:02:37. > :02:42.are calling for the military operation to continue.
:02:42. > :02:44.These scenes have sent shivers of fear across Israel. A a bus bomb in
:02:44. > :02:50.the country's commercial heart, Tel Aviv.
:02:50. > :02:55.Ten people were injured in the attack. This is a bus filled with
:02:55. > :03:04.people in the centre of Tel Aviv that somebody tried to kill, by
:03:04. > :03:07.putting a bomb inside. Eyewitnesses say the bomber boarded the bus
:03:07. > :03:10.close do Israel's military headquarters. They say he through
:03:10. > :03:16.an explosive towards the back seat and ran away. Police in Tel Aviv
:03:16. > :03:26.are hunting for the bomber while Hamas in Gaza says it masterminded
:03:26. > :03:29.
:03:29. > :03:31.the attack. TRANSLATION: Hamas blesses the
:03:31. > :03:33.martyrs which targeted Tel Aviv and confirms this operation is a
:03:33. > :03:35.natural reaction to the targeting of civilians, women and children in
:03:35. > :03:37.Gaza. The bus has just been taken away
:03:37. > :03:41.for examination. Really in crowded Tel Aviv, the casualty count to
:03:41. > :03:46.have been higher, but this isn't just about physical injury,
:03:46. > :03:49.Israelis are saying they feel exposed. This wasn't a rocket from
:03:49. > :03:53.Gaza, people are worried this could be the start of a new wave of
:03:53. > :03:57.bombings in Israel on buses. Elsewhere in Israel, rockets from
:03:57. > :04:02.Gaza continued to fall today as Israel kept up its bombing over the
:04:02. > :04:08.Gaza border. On the ground, a ceasefire deal seems a far away
:04:08. > :04:11.prospect. And in the aftermath of that bus bombing here in Tel Aviv,
:04:11. > :04:15.really London Underground explosions were heard in the Gaza
:04:15. > :04:20.Strip as Israel retaliated. Big international names continue in the
:04:20. > :04:30.region, you mentioned some of those already, but the mood here is not a
:04:30. > :04:33.
:04:33. > :04:36.Wyre? Yes, as we heard from Katia, the
:04:36. > :04:40.Israeli bombing continues. You can probably hear it in the background.
:04:40. > :04:44.At least 11 people have been killed in Gaza today including several
:04:44. > :04:48.civilians and while some some people are hoping there there might
:04:48. > :04:52.be a ceasefire negotiated in the coming hours, they are worried it
:04:52. > :04:58.won't bring about any lasting change.
:04:58. > :05:01.Another overnight attack in Gaza. One of the biggest so far. The main
:05:01. > :05:06.administration compound flattened in an Israeli airstrike. Israel
:05:06. > :05:11.says these targets are directly linked to Hamas militants. For
:05:11. > :05:15.people here, they are part of the political infrastructure.
:05:15. > :05:19.Even before the dust settled, they were back reconnecting power
:05:19. > :05:24.supplies and clearing the streets. Whether or not this there is a
:05:24. > :05:28.ceasefire, life here has to go on. If there is to be a lasting truce,
:05:28. > :05:33.this des strict yourself cycle has to be broken. At the end of a
:05:33. > :05:37.conflict, Gaza is allowed to rebuild its institutions and
:05:38. > :05:41.infrastructure, but frustrated with the Israeli blockade and its
:05:41. > :05:44.restrictions, Palestinian militants fire more and more rockets into
:05:44. > :05:48.Israel. There is an overwhelming Israeli
:05:48. > :05:55.military response and much of what has been built up is destroyed.
:05:55. > :05:59.On both sides, civilians always suffer. This travel agency has been
:05:59. > :06:09.here for 50 years. It just happens to be on the same street as the

:06:16. > :06:20.god. Do you have any insurance? No, no.
:06:20. > :06:25.This afternoon, Israel responded to the attack on Tel Aviv. The voices
:06:25. > :06:34.of those who want all of this to end are in danger of being drowned
:06:34. > :06:39.Just in the last couple of seconds, there was another rocket attack. We
:06:39. > :06:47.heard the sound of the rocket coming in. It hit a building 500
:06:47. > :06:49.yards behind us. There is a the lot of in Gaza that Israel is about to
:06:49. > :06:53.retaliate for the bus bombing. There might be a ceasefire soon,
:06:53. > :06:57.but I think Israel is going to pound Gaza first and the dip mats
:06:57. > :07:00.who are doing their best to reach a solution are going to have their
:07:00. > :07:09.work cut out. Wyre, thank you very much.

:07:20. > :07:24.That's right, Hillary Clinton, the America Secretary of State
:07:24. > :07:30.condemned the bus bombing and and sent her condolences to relatives
:07:30. > :07:35.of those injury. She has arrived and she is going into talks.
:07:35. > :07:40.The hopes don't sound high from the correspondents we have heard from
:07:40. > :07:45.in Israel and Gaza City. What's your assessment from what you are
:07:45. > :07:50.hearing on the ground? The bus bombing will strengthen the han of
:07:50. > :07:54.hardliners -- hand of hardliners on both side. There is pressure from
:07:54. > :07:58.Hillary Clinton, herself and from the Egyptians and from other
:07:58. > :08:00.players including the UN Secretary- General who want the ceasefire to
:08:00. > :08:05.be clinched. They have the framework of a deal which involves
:08:05. > :08:11.lifting the blockade on Gaza, but also tightening controls over the
:08:11. > :08:14.border between Gaza and Egypt to prevent the flow of arms and
:08:14. > :08:17.militants teen the two areas. -- teen the to areas. I sense there
:08:17. > :08:21.will be pressure for this deal to go ahead. There is only a few
:08:21. > :08:26.details left to be sorted out now, but it could be a long night.

:08:30. > :08:35.Church of England bishops and other members of the synod have been
:08:35. > :08:39.discussing last night's narrow vote not to allow women bishops. A
:08:39. > :08:41.minority of lay members voted against it. The Archbishop of
:08:41. > :08:47.Canterbury, Rowan Williams, said the decision means the Church of
:08:47. > :08:51.England has lost a measure of credibility as he put it. Buchanan
:08:51. > :08:55.is at Church House for us with more. Emily?
:08:55. > :08:58.Yes, it is that loss of credibility that I think worries people across
:08:58. > :09:02.the church. In fact, both traditionalists and those in favour
:09:02. > :09:06.of women bishops are aware of the headlines today and also that when
:09:06. > :09:12.it comes to trying to attract more people into the church, this is not
:09:12. > :09:15.going to play well. Disunitty and division the emotions that we have
:09:16. > :09:19.seen does not help to fill the seats.
:09:19. > :09:26.The weather matched the mood amongst bishops. Their authority
:09:26. > :09:29.undermined by yesterday's vote. The Archbishop of Canterbury made
:09:29. > :09:33.an unscheduled statement to the synod.
:09:33. > :09:36.Every day in which we fail to resolve this to our satisfaction in
:09:36. > :09:40.the Church of England -- and the Church of England's satisfaction is
:09:40. > :09:46.a day when our creditability in the public eye is likely to diminish
:09:46. > :09:48.and we have to take that seriously however uncomfortable that message
:09:48. > :09:53.maybe. There is a matter of mission here and we can't afford to hang
:09:53. > :09:56.about. But hurry isn't in the church's DNA,
:09:57. > :10:01.a workable formula will take years to find. Bishops and clergy voted
:10:01. > :10:04.in favour of women bishops, but it was amongst lay members the measure
:10:04. > :10:09.was rejected. We are unGod's health authority --
:10:09. > :10:13.under God's health authority authority. -- God's authority. We
:10:13. > :10:18.need to be patient with ourselves and with with one another. Yes, we
:10:18. > :10:22.have taken a long time, but reconciliation between deeply held
:10:22. > :10:25.views does take a long time if you want the outcome to stick.

:12:01. > :12:08.Children's Commissioner says the figures are a wake-up call about
:12:08. > :12:12.the scale of the problem. Alison Holt reports.
:12:12. > :12:15.Today's report paints a picture of a deeply troubling, often hidden
:12:15. > :12:20.world, where vulnerable children and teenagers are targeted by
:12:20. > :12:24.groups of men or gangs. Groomed and then sexually exploited. It warns
:12:24. > :12:27.this is happening in many different parts of the country and it is
:12:27. > :12:33.highlighted by major cases such as the jailing of nine men for abusing
:12:33. > :12:38.girls as young as 13 in Rochdale. This teenager, who has asked not to
:12:38. > :12:42.be identified, was among those targeted in Rochdale. She was given
:12:42. > :12:45.alcohol and cigarettes. I thought it was dead good because
:12:45. > :12:49.you are getting this free stuff and everything. You think that you are
:12:49. > :12:53.taking advantage of them. I don't know, you just don't expect that
:12:53. > :12:57.sort of thing to happen. She says there were signs of what
:12:58. > :13:02.was happening. I think I just went really quiet and I was never really
:13:02. > :13:07.at school and I was dirty like my clothes were dirty and things and I
:13:07. > :13:11.didn't take care of myself at all. I was drunk a lot of the time.
:13:11. > :13:14.The deputy children's Children's Commissioner's report says warnings
:13:14. > :13:20.of sexual exploitation need to be picked up. Information is patchy,
:13:20. > :13:25.but it it identifies 2,400 children in England who were sexually
:13:25. > :13:29.exploited over 14 months and estimates over a year, 16,500
:13:29. > :13:35.children showed signs of being at risk. It also insists abusers come
:13:35. > :13:40.from many backgrounds. Even though most convicted in cases of Rochdale
:13:40. > :13:45.have been of Pakistani origin. Perpetrators come from all ethnic
:13:45. > :13:47.groups and indeed, are white which is not surprising given that the
:13:47. > :13:53.ethnic group in this country is white.
:13:53. > :13:56.The Government says it wants all the issues raised to be carefully
:13:56. > :14:00.and thoroughly examined. It is right that we look at all
:14:00. > :14:04.victims in this matter and we look at all perpetrators in this matter.
:14:04. > :14:10.We must not allow our response and the figures in relation to the
:14:10. > :14:14.extent of this this problem to be distorted in the the interests of
:14:14. > :14:21.political correctionness. Over the next year the inquiry
:14:21. > :14:23.inquiry team will look at best best to tackle sexual exploitation
:14:23. > :14:28.wherever it happens. The National Audit Office says the

:14:58. > :15:05.extent of the pressure on public finances with the Government forced
:15:05. > :15:09.to borrow more money than expected. Our economics editor, Stephanie
:15:10. > :15:15.Flanders is here. That means the total borrowing for the year to
:15:15. > :15:23.date is �5 blg �billion higher thang anticipated -- �5 billion
:15:23. > :15:27.It's disappointing for the Chancellor and two weeks before the
:15:27. > :15:31.autumn statement. He needs to get control of the Government debt and
:15:31. > :15:34.the answer is that he's not doing very well. It's not just that he
:15:34. > :15:39.had to borrow more, because the numbers bounce around an awful lot,
:15:39. > :15:44.but as you suggested. It's so far in this tax year, the seven months
:15:44. > :15:47.since April, the Government's had to borrow �5 billion more than last
:15:47. > :15:50.year. Remember, this is a Government that wants it to be
:15:50. > :15:55.going down, not up. Now, it's clear that the weakness of the economy
:15:55. > :16:00.has had a lot to do with that, but the Government's not spending a lot
:16:00. > :16:03.more than it expected to, but it's getting a lot less growth in tax
:16:03. > :16:07.revenues, particularly corporation tax revenues. They are nearly 10%
:16:07. > :16:11.lower than they were last year, when the Treasury was hoping they
:16:11. > :16:14.would rise. You might see this add fuel to the debate about whether
:16:14. > :16:19.big companies are paying enough tax, although it's still quite a small
:16:19. > :16:23.share of the overall picture. We know that the weak economy and
:16:23. > :16:26.revenues is making it harder for the Chancellor and making it more
:16:26. > :16:30.likely we'll have bad news. He may have to announce that borrowing
:16:30. > :16:39.will be higher, not lower and it will take him longer to get control
:16:39. > :16:44.of the public finances. Thank you. Fighting continues in the Middle

:17:39. > :17:45.sent this report from Goma. Just days ago, these men were fighting
:17:45. > :17:49.in the bush. Today, they wield the power here in this City of one
:17:49. > :17:53.million people. The rebels have summoned the people to the stadium.
:17:53. > :18:00.They wait, a little nervously, perhaps, to hear what the future
:18:00. > :18:05.holds here under rebel control. The Presidents of Congo, Rwanda and
:18:05. > :18:10.Uganda have been meeting in Kampala to try to diffuse this crisis, but
:18:10. > :18:13.the rebels are busy recruiting. They claim more than 2,500
:18:13. > :18:19.policemen and soldiers joined them, handing over their guns to rebel
:18:19. > :18:27.commanders. But this police captain told us he wasn't here willingly.
:18:27. > :18:31.He said he had no choice but to submit. The senior commander
:18:31. > :18:34.addresses the crowd and promises order, security and to improve
:18:34. > :18:41.people's lives. He also vows to continue the fight all the way to
:18:41. > :18:45.the capital if necessary. This rebel commander has just asked the
:18:45. > :18:50.crowd do they want the rebels to store here, or want them to carry
:18:50. > :18:54.on. There has been a huge cheer of encouragement from the crowd. Yes,
:18:54. > :18:58.they say, carry on. The rebels are flushed with success. They feel
:18:58. > :19:05.like they hold all the chips and it will be up to the Government to
:19:05. > :19:11.come to them to negotiate. If the rebels mean what they say then this
:19:11. > :19:20.is a conflict that is in danger of spreading. Throughout Congo and
:19:20. > :19:25.possibly beyond, that is. Police in Shropshire say a week-old baby boy
:19:25. > :19:29.has died after being bitten by a dog in Telford. The police say the

:19:49. > :19:53.Hywel Griffith, was in court. Clearly distressing. What has the
:19:53. > :19:57.court heard today? Three weeks into this murder trial, Sara Ege took to
:19:57. > :20:00.the stand to give her version of what happened on the day that her
:20:00. > :20:05.son died. She said that the boy had tried to intervene in a fight
:20:05. > :20:08.between her and her husband, but then he had then turned on the son,
:20:08. > :20:13.hitting and kicking him to the ground. That, she said, was the
:20:13. > :20:16.latest in a series of beatings, but it proved to be fatal. She started
:20:16. > :20:20.to weep as she described how her son had bled from the mouth and
:20:20. > :20:24.started to turn blue. She said that both parents had then panicked and
:20:24. > :20:28.it was arranged that a fire would be lit in order to destroy the
:20:29. > :20:33.evidence. She then claimed that she had been told to rehearse a story
:20:33. > :20:37.to tell the police, that she was to say she had become frustrated with
