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

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.

officials say at least 15 people were killed this morning and 19

injured when Israeli tank shells hit a United Nations school in northern

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.

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.

can you tell us? We have just had a statement from the Director of

Public Prosecutions who says they have carefully considered the new

disparaging comments about the He's accused journalists

:24:27.:24:29.

Games, let's get the latest from The morning session of athletics has

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

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

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

reporter caught up with him yesterday and is standing by her

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

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

out to make it a great games. Organisers spent years trying to

and we are pleased with how he had responded. These are a fantastic

games. When he came for his first press conference, he was up eat and

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

Greene failed to qualify in the 400 metres hurdles. England beat

: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

perhaps watching my Crown goes to a Canadian. I would like that to have

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

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.
