:05:23. > :05:26.and our correspondent there, Bethany Bell. Israel has just announced that
:05:27. > :05:36.four our cease-fire. Possess a response to the anger that has been
:05:37. > :05:40.felt over their latest attack? We put the question to an Israeli
:05:41. > :05:45.army spokesman and he said the things were not related. In terms of
:05:46. > :05:49.the school, Israel says Palestinian militants opened fire on Israeli
:05:50. > :05:54.troops from near the school and that Israeli troops returned fire in
:05:55. > :05:59.response. He said that any loss of human life was a tragedy, but he
:06:00. > :06:05.said that Israel does not deliberately target or attack UN
:06:06. > :06:13.facilities. He said that he accused Hamas of using Palestinian civilians
:06:14. > :06:17.as human shields. It has just announced a cease-fire, this partial
:06:18. > :06:22.humanitarian cease-fire, for four hours in some parts of the Gaza
:06:23. > :06:27.Strip. Many people here are bracing themselves for this conflict to go
:06:28. > :06:31.on. Here in Israel, people want the threat of the cross-border tunnel
:06:32. > :06:36.from Gaza to be removed and they want the rocket fire on Israel to
:06:37. > :06:42.stop. There is still widespread support here for what the Army is
:06:43. > :06:46.doing. Thank you. The Bank of England has announced
:06:47. > :06:50.some of the toughest restrictions on bankers' pee anywhere in the world.
:06:51. > :06:55.Bankers will be forced to return their bonuses up to seven years
:06:56. > :07:05.after receiving them if they are fine to have worked with misconduct.
:07:06. > :07:08.Our financial correspondent has the details.
:07:09. > :07:12.City bankers are some of the highest-paid workers in the UK. Many

:07:19. > :07:22.It a lump sum of one in shares which can be up to double their basic
:07:23. > :07:27.salary. They generally have to wait to get their hands on it for three
:07:28. > :07:31.or five years and it can be clawed back during that time. Under these
:07:32. > :07:35.new rules they will have to give it back up to seven years later, even
:07:36. > :07:38.if they have already spent it. We now have the toughest regime in
:07:39. > :07:43.banking pay of any global financial centre. Bankers are paid less here
:07:44. > :07:45.than they are compared to New York, Singapore and Hong Kong. This could
:07:46. > :07:51.have an impact on the competitiveness of London as a
:07:52. > :07:54.financial centre and the jobs here. The Bank of England has described
:07:55. > :07:57.the conduct of some bankers as highly reprehensible and has
:07:58. > :08:02.released proposals which could see some face prison in extreme cases.
:08:03. > :08:07.Recklessness, interest rate rating, money-laundering, misselling, these
:08:08. > :08:12.scandals have cost the City its reputation and taxpayers and Gerald

:08:17. > :08:20.will change the culture of the people working in the heart of
:08:21. > :08:26.banking. Any imagine every single anchor bringing everybody to court?
:08:27. > :08:31.You have to think about the methodology of it. You want to claw
:08:32. > :08:36.back seven years, really? That would be tough. No, I am happy that yearly
:08:37. > :08:43.would be the way forward. Seven years is ridiculous. I would
:08:44. > :08:46.probably leave. They are not accountable for the way that they
:08:47. > :08:53.behave and they would be in any other industry so I would support
:08:54. > :09:00.that, for sure. These are ground-breaking measures, but do
:09:01. > :09:04.they go too far? These are acceptable. There will be an
:09:05. > :09:09.argument against it. Eventually we will see new rules so we have made

:09:28. > :09:30.West Africa, which has killed nearly 700 people. The disease is
:09:31. > :09:34.continuing to spread, with medical charities warning it's likely to
:09:35. > :09:38.last until the end of the year. Some airlines have halted flights into

:09:43. > :09:48.contact with blood or other body fluids of an infected person. And
:09:49. > :09:52.its symptoms include bleeding, diarrhoea and vomiting. It was first
:09:53. > :09:56.reported in Guinea in March, and has since claimed at least 310 lives
:09:57. > :09:57.there. Our Global Health Correspondent Tulip Mazumder reports
:09:58. > :10:13.now from Guinea. The latest and one of the youngest
:10:14. > :10:20.victims of Ebola - wrapped in layers of plastic bags, it is the tiny body
:10:21. > :10:25.of four-year-old Faya. His family are too scared to attend his burial
:10:26. > :10:32.so he is carefully laid to rest by strangers. The virus spreads through
:10:33. > :10:37.contact with a patient's bodily fluids, so health workers see
:10:38. > :10:44.themselves in suits where temperatures hit 40 Celsius. It is
:10:45. > :10:49.relentless work. This nurse looked after baby Faya in his final
:10:50. > :10:54.moments. TRANSLATION: I was there with him just before he died. I had
:10:55. > :10:59.been feeding him milk. I stepped away just for a short break but then
:11:00. > :11:05.I was called back and he was dead. I was totally devastated. At times I
:11:06. > :11:10.would just go outside and cry. Some people believe medics are actually
:11:11. > :11:14.bringing Ebola here and harvesting organs from the dead. What after yet
:11:15. > :11:21.another death, community leaders here agreed to hear the truth about
:11:22. > :11:27.Ebola. And, crucially, how to stop it spreading. A few days ago, health
:11:28. > :11:30.workers couldn't even get into this village but they have made a
:11:31. > :11:35.breakthrough here today. People are bringing out their sick relatives
:11:36. > :11:39.and they are agreeing to be checked over for symptoms of Ebola. This man
:11:40. > :11:45.convinced his sick mother to get help. She had a high fever and had
:11:46. > :11:49.been vomiting for days. There have been seven deaths in this small
:11:50. > :11:55.village so far, but medics say many more could be infected. Samples from
:11:56. > :11:59.affected villagers come to this makeshift diagnostics laboratory.
:12:00. > :12:04.British scientists are among those testing for the virus. Sometimes you
:12:05. > :12:13.are seeing patients who are brought in very young and they are testing
:12:14. > :12:25.positive, and it gets very sad. It is visiting time back at the
:12:26. > :12:30.treatment centre and 13-year-old Alfons has come to see his little
:12:31. > :12:37.sister. Initial tests have come back negative. Ebola is an indiscriminate

:13:03. > :13:06.The Foreign Secretary said it is a threat and it would be folly to
:13:07. > :13:11.ignore the danger, which is why he is holding this emergency meeting to

:13:17. > :13:21.are no cases of Ebola in the UK, no Britons have contracted the virus.
:13:22. > :13:25.The concern is aircraft will. There are a vast number of flights from
:13:26. > :13:30.west Africa to the UK which increases the danger of the disease
:13:31. > :13:34.spreading here, which is why doctors and staff have been instructed to
:13:35. > :13:38.watch out for patients showing symptoms. It is white airlines and
:13:39. > :13:42.border agency staff are going to be told to monitor passengers more
:13:43. > :13:47.closely. Much of the government's effort is going to go on the ground
:13:48. > :13:52.in West Africa in providing Aberdeen may as is, clinicians, medical staff
:13:53. > :13:56.to try and contain the disease and it is worth flagging up that
:13:57. > :14:01.officials stressed the much higher hygiene standards in the UK. Even
:14:02. > :14:06.just by washing your hands, it is a pretty effective safeguard against

:15:46. > :15:49.HSBC that his bank account and those of his family will close in two
:15:50. > :15:54.months. He says he was not given a proper explanation. The
:15:55. > :15:58.organisations are mainly charities and the link is that many are at
:15:59. > :16:04.live on the case of Palestine. So I'm left to speculate that this is
:16:05. > :16:09.why. That would be a shame if that were true. The Finsbury Park mosque

:16:23. > :16:27.risk appetite. The mosque made headlines over a decade ago due to
:16:28. > :16:33.its connections with radical cleric Abu Hamza. The mosque says that the
:16:34. > :16:40.days of extremism are behind them. All the letters that have been sent
:16:41. > :16:46.does not give any reason as to why it was closed in the first place. So

:24:03. > :24:06.officer to be charged with murder is very rare. We understand they have

:24:15. > :24:17.this. But this just hasn't happened in the last few minutes. -- has

:24:27. > :24:29.of making up the stories. So on Day Seven of the Glasgow
:24:30. > :24:44.Games, let's get the latest from The morning session of athletics has
:24:45. > :24:47.recently finished. But across town it is those comments apparently made
:24:48. > :24:52.by Usain Bolt that are making headlines. He is out and about
:24:53. > :24:56.watching some sport this morning. He was asked what he thought of the
:24:57. > :25:03.games just in the last 30 minutes and apparently said, they're
:25:04. > :25:07.awesome. Calm and relaxed today, Usain Bolt finds himself at the
:25:08. > :25:10.centre of the Commonwealth storm. Glasgow woke up this morning to
:25:11. > :25:15.newspaper claims that the king of the track made less than friendly
:25:16. > :25:20.comments about the friendly games. But did he? Well the double Olympic
:25:21. > :25:25.champion was on Twitter this morning saying, I am waking up to this
:25:26. > :25:31.nonsense. Journalists, please do not create lives to make headlines. One
:25:32. > :25:34.reporter caught up with him yesterday and is standing by her
:25:35. > :25:39.story. Usain Bolt describe against today is awesome, but more could
:25:40. > :25:45.emerge tomorrow. What about those paying to watch the action? He's
:25:46. > :25:51.just in a bad mood. It quite unlike him. I think we have done really
:25:52. > :25:56.well and the city is showing its friendly side. Everyone going all
:25:57. > :25:59.out to make it a great games. Organisers spent years trying to
:26:00. > :26:03.secure his services and will now spend the next few days trying to
:26:04. > :26:09.convince Glasgow that he wants to be here. We take Usain Bolt at his word
:26:10. > :26:15.and we are pleased with how he had responded. These are a fantastic
:26:16. > :26:21.games. When he came for his first press conference, he was up eat and
:26:22. > :26:28.positive. Focused on delivering for his fellow countrymen. Despite the
:26:29. > :26:32.controversy, the action continued on day seven. A blow for Wales is Dai
:26:33. > :26:37.Greene failed to qualify in the 400 metres hurdles. England beat
:26:38. > :26:49.Scotland in the Commonwealth grudge match at the hockey, 2-1. And in
:26:50. > :26:58.Edinburgh Sarah Barrow and Tonia Couch caused the blast of their own

:27:05. > :27:10.with me. You took gold 14 England at the last Commonwealth Games in the
:27:11. > :27:14.heptathlon. You hoped to come out of retirement and compete today. Are
:27:15. > :27:19.you going to be watching the action in a bittersweet way? It will be
:27:20. > :27:25.tinged with sadness. I will be reporting with Radio 5 live and
:27:26. > :27:31.perhaps watching my Crown goes to a Canadian. I would like that to have
:27:32. > :27:35.gone to someone from the home countries but I cannot see that
:27:36. > :27:42.happening. But we may just get a bronze medal. What other key names
:27:43. > :27:47.to look out for? Well the Canadian is likely to take the gold medal and
:27:48. > :27:55.then in second place another Canadian. Then we have an amazing
:27:56. > :27:59.performer from England, Jessica Taylor, who seems to have already
:28:00. > :28:04.stepped up to the plate and is currently in third position. She has
:28:05. > :28:11.to hold of the other girls this evening if she is to get the bronze
:28:12. > :28:22.medal. And that is all for now. Back to you. Now look at the weather
:28:23. > :28:25.forecast. It is breezy today and the more
:28:26. > :28:29.unsettled weather again in the North. We are hanging onto the
:28:30. > :28:33.sunshine further south. But gradually that heat will use a way
:28:34. > :28:40.and the showers become more prevalent towards the end of the
:28:41. > :28:44.week. -- eased away. More cloud further north and underneath that
:28:45. > :28:49.cloud we have quite a few sharp showers around. Not too far away
:28:50. > :28:55.from the Glasgow area where we have seen them already this morning. So
:28:56. > :28:59.little change for the rest of play today. Passing showers and sunshine
:29:00. > :29:06.but that constant westerly breeze which should disappear tomorrow.
:29:07. > :29:14.Showers also in Northern Ireland and down towards Northumberland as well.
:29:15. > :29:17.Further south through most of Wales and the South West of England we
:29:18. > :29:22.have some beautiful sunshine around the coast and very pleasant
:29:23. > :29:28.temperatures. Still hanging onto that heat further east. Not quite as
:29:29. > :29:36.stifling as yesterday. Some lovely weather hanging on to the south-east
:29:37. > :29:43.and into East Anglia. Even where we have the showers, it is not going to
:29:44. > :29:47.rain all day. The showers continue for western and northern areas
:29:48. > :29:54.overnight. Some starting to filter South. And just like last night the
:29:55. > :30:01.humidity slowed -- slightly lowered and it has been. And the rain really
:30:02. > :30:07.starts to come into the north west of Scotland, more persistent rain in
:30:08. > :30:12.the North followed by some heavy and thundery showers for Scotland and
:30:13. > :30:15.perhaps Northern Ireland. And tomorrow looking more unsettled
:30:16. > :30:21.through Wales and the Midlands. And eventually East Anglia. Just the far
:30:22. > :30:27.south-east hanging on to the good weather. There is more likelihood
:30:28. > :30:36.that we will catch some sharp showers as well by Friday. For the
:30:37. > :30:39.weekend, looking quite blasted through Friday night and into
:30:40. > :30:47.Saturday. Heavy rain and strong wind. Heavy showers following
:30:48. > :30:49.behind. At the moment Sunday still looks like the drier day of the
:30:50. > :30:57.weekend, but looking a lot more unsettled.
:30:58. > :31:01.A reminder of our top story. At least 15 people were killed and
:31:02. > :31:07.dozens injured when a UN run school was hit by Israeli shells in Gaza.
:31:08. > :31:12.The UN says it is a disgraceful act. And this is the scene now from Gaza
:31:13. > :31:14.where Israel has just begun a humanitarian cease-fire due to last
:31:15. > :31:16.for four hours.
