The UN says the shelling of one of its schools in Gaza by Israel is a | :00:08. | :00:16. | |
disgraceful act. At least 15 people were killed and more than 70 wounded | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
when the building housing refugees was struck without warning. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
This was a classroom. It is a classroom where people were | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
sleeping. There were deaths and injuries. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
This is the scene live at Gaza, where Israel has just begun a | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
humanitarian cease-fire due to last four hours. We will be getting the | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
latest from Gaza and Israel. Also this lunch time... Bankers who | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
break the rules could be forced to give back bonuses up to seven years | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
after getting them. The deadly e-border outbreak - the | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
government is holding an emergency The deadly e-border outbreak - the | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
government is holding an meeting this lunch time, saying it could | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
pose a threat to the UK. I am at Hampden Park in Glasgow on | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
day seven of the Commonwealth Games and there are 19 gold medals up for | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
grabs today. Away from the action, it is this man, Usain Bolt, who is | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
stealing the headlines. He has categorically denied making | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
disparaging remarks about the Games. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
In sport later... England's cricketers are on top of | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
the third test. They have not enforced the follow-up. | :01:28. | :01:37. | |
British Airways is to be sued over claims one | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
of its pilots abused children in African schools and orphanages. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
Campaigners at Charing Cross Hospital fight plans to radically | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
change the Health service. Good afternoon. Palestinian health | :01:45. | :01:56. | |
officials say at least 15 people were killed this morning and 19 | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
injured when Israeli tank shells hit a United Nations school in northern | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
Gaza, the second to be had this week. People had taken refuge in the | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
school. Israel says it will investigate the incident. A senior | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
Israeli military figure has just told the BBC that a humanitarian | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
cease-fire will start about now. This girl 's school at about five | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
o'clock this morning, several shells slammed into the buildings. It is a | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
place where the UN says more than 3000 people were seeking shelter. It | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
must have been terrifying, chaos. Most of the dead would never have | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
known what had hit them. This classroom is one of the places that | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
took a great hit. There are bloodstains on the floor, there are | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
bits of human remains here still. Scattered around, evidence of what | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
passed for normal family life. There is a pink football, a broken packet | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
of pasta, plastic bottles. But this is a terrible scene. And those who | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
survived could do little to help. TRANSLATION: We were on the other | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
side of the school. We rushed over and all we could do was move the | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
bodies and injured people. The ambulance were trying to get your at | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
first they could not. When the injured finally got to the local | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
hospital, further chaos as doctors, already exhausted from three weeks | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
of this, did what they could to save lives. All these people were in what | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
was supposed to be an internationally designated UN | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
shelter. Our security staff are able to access the school this morning | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
and they collected fragments from the explosive devices, and they were | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
able to take photographs looking at where the impact was and the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
direction from where they fire came. It was Israeli artillery | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
fire. This is a disgraceful act. This cannot continue. These people | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
were coming for safe harbour. The Israeli army says this is the focus | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
of its operations - tunnels dug by her mast to infiltrate fighters into | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Israel. It has accused her mass of firing on its forces and it says the | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
fire was returned. It will continue to investigate. Any loss of human | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
life is a tragedy. We are operating under extreme conditions in a | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
reality for the other side has no regard for the situation. We are | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
trying to minimise the civilian deaths and we are warning civilians | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
to vacate specific areas. Back at the school people wonder where to go | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
and what to do next. Many have already headed further into Gaza | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
city, where the UN will struggle to cope with another influx of the | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
displaced. Others have stayed here, but they are beginning to lose all | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
hope. Let's get the latest from Jerusalem | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
and our correspondent there, Bethany Bell. Israel has just announced that | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
four our cease-fire. Possess a response to the anger that has been | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
felt over their latest attack? We put the question to an Israeli | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
army spokesman and he said the things were not related. In terms of | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
the school, Israel says Palestinian militants opened fire on Israeli | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
troops from near the school and that Israeli troops returned fire in | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
response. He said that any loss of human life was a tragedy, but he | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
said that Israel does not deliberately target or attack UN | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
facilities. He said that he accused Hamas of using Palestinian civilians | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
as human shields. It has just announced a cease-fire, this partial | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
humanitarian cease-fire, for four hours in some parts of the Gaza | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
Strip. Many people here are bracing themselves for this conflict to go | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
on. Here in Israel, people want the threat of the cross-border tunnel | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
from Gaza to be removed and they want the rocket fire on Israel to | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
stop. There is still widespread support here for what the Army is | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
doing. Thank you. The Bank of England has announced | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
some of the toughest restrictions on bankers' pee anywhere in the world. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Bankers will be forced to return their bonuses up to seven years | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
after receiving them if they are fine to have worked with misconduct. | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
Our financial correspondent has the details. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
City bankers are some of the highest-paid workers in the UK. Many | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
receive a substantial part of that pee in the form of an annual bonus. | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
It a lump sum of one in shares which can be up to double their basic | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
salary. They generally have to wait to get their hands on it for three | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
or five years and it can be clawed back during that time. Under these | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
new rules they will have to give it back up to seven years later, even | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
if they have already spent it. We now have the toughest regime in | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
banking pay of any global financial centre. Bankers are paid less here | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
than they are compared to New York, Singapore and Hong Kong. This could | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
have an impact on the competitiveness of London as a | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
financial centre and the jobs here. The Bank of England has described | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
the conduct of some bankers as highly reprehensible and has | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
released proposals which could see some face prison in extreme cases. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
Recklessness, interest rate rating, money-laundering, misselling, these | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
scandals have cost the City its reputation and taxpayers and Gerald | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
is hundreds of billions of pounds. It is hoped these tough new rules | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
will change the culture of the people working in the heart of | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
banking. Any imagine every single anchor bringing everybody to court? | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
You have to think about the methodology of it. You want to claw | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
back seven years, really? That would be tough. No, I am happy that yearly | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
would be the way forward. Seven years is ridiculous. I would | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
probably leave. They are not accountable for the way that they | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
behave and they would be in any other industry so I would support | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
that, for sure. These are ground-breaking measures, but do | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
they go too far? These are acceptable. There will be an | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
argument against it. Eventually we will see new rules so we have made | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
the first move. Is the bonus party over? The champagne may have to go | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
back on ice for a few more years. change the Health service. | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
The Foreign Secretary, Phillip Hammond is chairing a meeting of the | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
COBRA emergency committee this lunch time into the outbreak of Ebola in | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
West Africa, which has killed nearly 700 people. The disease is | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
continuing to spread, with medical charities warning it's likely to | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
last until the end of the year. Some airlines have halted flights into | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Liberia and Sierra Leone as concerns grow. It's spread through direct | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
contact with blood or other body fluids of an infected person. And | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
its symptoms include bleeding, diarrhoea and vomiting. It was first | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
reported in Guinea in March, and has since claimed at least 310 lives | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
there. Our Global Health Correspondent Tulip Mazumder reports | :09:57. | :09:57. | |
now from Guinea. The latest and one of the youngest | :09:58. | :10:13. | |
victims of Ebola - wrapped in layers of plastic bags, it is the tiny body | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
of four-year-old Faya. His family are too scared to attend his burial | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
so he is carefully laid to rest by strangers. The virus spreads through | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
contact with a patient's bodily fluids, so health workers see | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
themselves in suits where temperatures hit 40 Celsius. It is | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
relentless work. This nurse looked after baby Faya in his final | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
moments. TRANSLATION: I was there with him just before he died. I had | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
been feeding him milk. I stepped away just for a short break but then | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
I was called back and he was dead. I was totally devastated. At times I | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
would just go outside and cry. Some people believe medics are actually | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
bringing Ebola here and harvesting organs from the dead. What after yet | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
another death, community leaders here agreed to hear the truth about | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
Ebola. And, crucially, how to stop it spreading. A few days ago, health | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
workers couldn't even get into this village but they have made a | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
breakthrough here today. People are bringing out their sick relatives | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
and they are agreeing to be checked over for symptoms of Ebola. This man | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
convinced his sick mother to get help. She had a high fever and had | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
been vomiting for days. There have been seven deaths in this small | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
village so far, but medics say many more could be infected. Samples from | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
affected villagers come to this makeshift diagnostics laboratory. | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
British scientists are among those testing for the virus. Sometimes you | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
are seeing patients who are brought in very young and they are testing | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
positive, and it gets very sad. It is visiting time back at the | :12:14. | :12:25. | |
treatment centre and 13-year-old Alfons has come to see his little | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
sister. Initial tests have come back negative. Ebola is an indiscriminate | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
virus. Their mother is very sick and may not survive. | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
Our chief political correspondent Norman Smith is at the Cabinet | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
Office where the meeting is being held. This disease has so far been | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
confined to Africa but it is slowly being taken seriously here? | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
-- clearly being taken seriously here? | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
The Foreign Secretary said it is a threat and it would be folly to | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
ignore the danger, which is why he is holding this emergency meeting to | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
put in place a precautionary plan. I stress the cautionary, because there | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
are no cases of Ebola in the UK, no Britons have contracted the virus. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
The concern is aircraft will. There are a vast number of flights from | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
west Africa to the UK which increases the danger of the disease | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
spreading here, which is why doctors and staff have been instructed to | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
watch out for patients showing symptoms. It is white airlines and | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
border agency staff are going to be told to monitor passengers more | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
closely. Much of the government's effort is going to go on the ground | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
in West Africa in providing Aberdeen may as is, clinicians, medical staff | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
to try and contain the disease and it is worth flagging up that | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
officials stressed the much higher hygiene standards in the UK. Even | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
just by washing your hands, it is a pretty effective safeguard against | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
the disease. International monitors trying to | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
reach the crash out of the Malaysian plane have once again been turned | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
back. The monitors were trying to find a clear route to the area but | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
were halted at a checkpoint controlled by pro-Russian | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
separatists. It is the -- fourth day in the row they have been unable to | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
get to the area. Rolf Harris's Jail term will not be | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
challenged for being too lenient. The Attorney-General will not | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
referred the disgraced entertainer's sentence for five | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
years and nine months to the Court of Appeal. The division -- decision | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
comes despite complaints about the leniency of the sentence. | :14:49. | :15:03. | |
The Crown Prosecution Service says two former executives at the News | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
of the World are to be charged with phone hacking. | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
Neil Wallis, the paper's former deputy editor, and Jules Stenson, | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
the former features editor, will appear before Westminster | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
HSBC has told three Muslim organisations that their bank | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
One of them - the Finsbury Park Mosque in north London - described | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
HSBC has denied that the groups are being targeted | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
because of their religious or political links, but has said that | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
This man runs a think tank on Islamic issues and has been told by | :15:29. | :15:45. | |
HSBC that his bank account and those of his family will close in two | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
months. He says he was not given a proper explanation. The | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
organisations are mainly charities and the link is that many are at | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
live on the case of Palestine. So I'm left to speculate that this is | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
why. That would be a shame if that were true. The Finsbury Park mosque | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
in north London and Bolton raised Muslim charity also received letters | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
telling them their accounts would be closed. The reason given that having | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
them remain as a customer fell outside but the bank called their | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
risk appetite. The mosque made headlines over a decade ago due to | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
its connections with radical cleric Abu Hamza. The mosque says that the | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
days of extremism are behind them. All the letters that have been sent | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
does not give any reason as to why it was closed in the first place. So | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
that can lead us only to believe it is an Islamophobic campaign. In a | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
statement HSBC said that decisions to end customer relationships are | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
not taken lightly but not based on race or religion of the customer. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
The banks have so badly failed that the boardroom has become a pressure | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
cooker. They must not fall foul of authorities. They must improve their | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
media perception of performance. They must not take risks. The | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
charities commission confirmed it is not investigating any of the | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
organisations involved and says if the charities do not have a | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
relationship with a bank, it could harm public trust in their work. | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured when a UN-run school | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
The UN says it was a disgraceful act. | :17:39. | :17:48. | |

Next week, a series of ceremonies across Britain and Europe will look | :18:01. | :18:19. | |
back a hundred years to the start of the First World War. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
Over the next three days, Robert Hall will be travelling the | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
route that British soldiers would have taken on their way to war. | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
He begins in the Lincolnshire village of Friesthorpe, | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
where one family lost five of their eight sons. | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
They became known as the Beechey Boys, and this weekend a specially | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
written drama will be performed at the Parish Church in their honour. | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
You could easily miss the tiny hamlet. | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
14 houses clustered around this beautiful and ancient church. | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
The story I will tell you is closely connected with the church, the story | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
of a large and happy family torn apart by the coming of war. | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
On a sultry summer evening in Boston, a packed auditorium is | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
hearing the story of one Lincolnshire family swallowed by a | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
They are on the parapet of the trench. | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
A story which led me to a tiny churchyard on the road north | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
from Lincoln, and the grave of Tom Beechey, rector of Friesthorpe. | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
His granddaughter's photos show a proud father of eight sons | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
and six daughters, who evidently had an idyllic childhood. | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
There was always a welcome for everybody. | :19:46. | :19:56. | |
It consists of 300 letters and telegrams. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
In Lincoln's county archive, precious boxes of letters chart | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
the tragedy that unfolded after the boys marched away to do their duty. | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
Five were killed, one was badly injured. | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
This is Barnard Beechey, the first of the brothers to be killed. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
He was killed at the Battle of Loos in 1915. | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
The characters of each individual man show through | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
from what they write, and some of them are quite candid. | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
One of the most telling items in the family collection is this letter | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
written by rifleman Leonard Beechey, talking about the death of his | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
brother Charles, and he writes to his mother, "He was always so good | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
and reliable and it is very difficult | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
Each one seems a harder blow than the previous one." | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
Leonard Beechey himself was killed just over a month later. | :20:45. | :20:57. | |
He was on the wire all night, and nobody could get him off. | :20:58. | :21:14. | |
Amy Beechey is said to have borne the loss | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
Her true feelings only surfacing during a royal visit to Lincoln | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
when the Queen thanked her for her sacrifice. | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
Mrs Beechey is said to have replied, "That was no sacrifice, ma'am, | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
Well the Reverend Beechey sadly died before the war and his wife had to | :21:26. | :21:44. | |
bear that by herself. Tomorrow I am in Winchester to find out how well | :21:45. | :21:56. | |
the soldiers were equipped. The Crown Prosecution Service is just | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
announced they will prosecute a former Metropolitan Police officer | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
for killing a man in 2005. The man was shot in the back of a car in | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
London. Inside a police car which was part | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
of a firearms convoy in pursuit of a suspected armed gang. By the time | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
the chase was over, one of the gang was dead. A police marksman shot | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
24-year-old is at Rodney at close range in 2005. It took seven years | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
for there to be an enquiry rather than an inquest into his death. The | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
enquiry reported last year and found there was no lawful justification | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
for shooting Mr Rodney dead. And it was critical of the police | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
operation. Mr Rodney and his group were under surveillance in the hours | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
before his death. Officers were working on intelligence that the men | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
were planning to rip-off a gang of suspect drug dealers at gunpoint, | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
that is why they chased the car. Is why they chased the car. As Carol | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
was stopped and boxed in, eight bullets were fired at Mr Rodney. -- | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
as their car. Six hit him in the head and body. Now almost a decade | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
after his death a dramatic development is the case is set to | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
move to the criminal courts. Well Jim Kelly is with me now. What more | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
can you tell us? We have just had a statement from the Director of | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
Public Prosecutions who says they have carefully considered the new | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
file of evidence following the enquiry and they have decided that | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
this officer, known only as East Devon, who has actually left the | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
Metropolitan Police, he has been given anonymity. He has been charged | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
with murder and will make his first court appearance on the 10th of | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
September. He will appear before Westminster magistrates. Police | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
officer to be charged with murder is very rare. We understand they have | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
just been two cases in the past. No officer in this country has ever | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
been convicted of the murder of a civilian in a police operation like | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
this. But this just hasn't happened in the last few minutes. -- has | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
happened. The world's fastest man, | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, says newspaper reports that he made | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
disparaging comments about the He's accused journalists | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
of making up the stories. So on Day Seven of the Glasgow | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
Games, let's get the latest from The morning session of athletics has | :24:30. | :24:44. | |
recently finished. But across town it is those comments apparently made | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
by Usain Bolt that are making headlines. He is out and about | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
watching some sport this morning. He was asked what he thought of the | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
games just in the last 30 minutes and apparently said, they're | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
awesome. Calm and relaxed today, Usain Bolt finds himself at the | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
centre of the Commonwealth storm. Glasgow woke up this morning to | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
newspaper claims that the king of the track made less than friendly | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
comments about the friendly games. But did he? Well the double Olympic | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
champion was on Twitter this morning saying, I am waking up to this | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
nonsense. Journalists, please do not create lives to make headlines. One | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
reporter caught up with him yesterday and is standing by her | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
story. Usain Bolt describe against today is awesome, but more could | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
emerge tomorrow. What about those paying to watch the action? He's | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
just in a bad mood. It quite unlike him. I think we have done really | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
well and the city is showing its friendly side. Everyone going all | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
out to make it a great games. Organisers spent years trying to | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
secure his services and will now spend the next few days trying to | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
convince Glasgow that he wants to be here. We take Usain Bolt at his word | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
and we are pleased with how he had responded. These are a fantastic | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
games. When he came for his first press conference, he was up eat and | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
positive. Focused on delivering for his fellow countrymen. Despite the | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
controversy, the action continued on day seven. A blow for Wales is Dai | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
Greene failed to qualify in the 400 metres hurdles. England beat | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Scotland in the Commonwealth grudge match at the hockey, 2-1. And in | :26:38. | :26:49. | |
Edinburgh Sarah Barrow and Tonia Couch caused the blast of their own | :26:50. | :26:58. | |
on day one of the guiding. And just tick with the sport, Louise Hazel is | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
with me. You took gold 14 England at the last Commonwealth Games in the | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
heptathlon. You hoped to come out of retirement and compete today. Are | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
you going to be watching the action in a bittersweet way? It will be | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
tinged with sadness. I will be reporting with Radio 5 live and | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
perhaps watching my Crown goes to a Canadian. I would like that to have | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
gone to someone from the home countries but I cannot see that | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
happening. But we may just get a bronze medal. What other key names | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
to look out for? Well the Canadian is likely to take the gold medal and | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
then in second place another Canadian. Then we have an amazing | :27:48. | :27:55. | |
performer from England, Jessica Taylor, who seems to have already | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
stepped up to the plate and is currently in third position. She has | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
to hold of the other girls this evening if she is to get the bronze | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
medal. And that is all for now. Back to you. Now look at the weather | :28:12. | :28:22. | |
forecast. It is breezy today and the more | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
unsettled weather again in the North. We are hanging onto the | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
sunshine further south. But gradually that heat will use a way | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
and the showers become more prevalent towards the end of the | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
week. -- eased away. More cloud further north and underneath that | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
cloud we have quite a few sharp showers around. Not too far away | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
from the Glasgow area where we have seen them already this morning. So | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
little change for the rest of play today. Passing showers and sunshine | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
but that constant westerly breeze which should disappear tomorrow. | :29:00. | :29:06. | |
Showers also in Northern Ireland and down towards Northumberland as well. | :29:07. | :29:14. | |
Further south through most of Wales and the South West of England we | :29:15. | :29:17. | |
have some beautiful sunshine around the coast and very pleasant | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
temperatures. Still hanging onto that heat further east. Not quite as | :29:23. | :29:28. | |
stifling as yesterday. Some lovely weather hanging on to the south-east | :29:29. | :29:36. | |
and into East Anglia. Even where we have the showers, it is not going to | :29:37. | :29:43. | |
rain all day. The showers continue for western and northern areas | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
overnight. Some starting to filter South. And just like last night the | :29:48. | :29:54. | |
humidity slowed -- slightly lowered and it has been. And the rain really | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
starts to come into the north west of Scotland, more persistent rain in | :30:02. | :30:07. | |
the North followed by some heavy and thundery showers for Scotland and | :30:08. | :30:12. | |
perhaps Northern Ireland. And tomorrow looking more unsettled | :30:13. | :30:15. | |
through Wales and the Midlands. And eventually East Anglia. Just the far | :30:16. | :30:21. | |
south-east hanging on to the good weather. There is more likelihood | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
that we will catch some sharp showers as well by Friday. For the | :30:28. | :30:36. | |
weekend, looking quite blasted through Friday night and into | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
Saturday. Heavy rain and strong wind. Heavy showers following | :30:40. | :30:47. | |
behind. At the moment Sunday still looks like the drier day of the | :30:48. | :30:49. | |
weekend, but looking a lot more unsettled. | :30:50. | :30:57. | |
A reminder of our top story. At least 15 people were killed and | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
dozens injured when a UN run school was hit by Israeli shells in Gaza. | :31:02. | :31:07. | |
The UN says it is a disgraceful act. And this is the scene now from Gaza | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
where Israel has just begun a humanitarian cease-fire due to last | :31:13. | :31:14. | |
for four hours. | :31:15. | :31:16. |
