:02:10. > :02:20.Martin Patience. Even amid the darkness of war, the
:02:21. > :02:26.children of Gaza still play. These children have lived through three
:02:27. > :02:28.conflicts in their short lives. Crammed into a sweltering
:02:29. > :02:33.apartment, they've taken refuge from the fighting. But there is no
:02:34. > :02:46.electricity and no running water here. And no food, either.
:02:47. > :02:50.Look. Nothing. Israel forced everyone from my neighbourhood to
:02:51. > :02:56.leave, says this man. "They've destroyed my house". The UN now says
:02:57. > :03:00.that up to a quarter of the population in Gaza may have been
:03:01. > :03:05.displaced by the fighting. In recent days, the news came of more
:03:06. > :03:10.evacuations that were going to be ordered by the Israeli defence
:03:11. > :03:13.forces. Our message is, that is -- if that is the case, Israel will
:03:14. > :03:16.have to start taking into account the need to assist these people
:03:17. > :03:22.because we will reach a breaking point. That is the reality. Here in
:03:23. > :03:25.Gaza, Israel continues to carry out air strikes and has vowed to push on
:03:26. > :03:31.with its military operation. That's likely to mean yet more Palestinians
:03:32. > :03:37.are forced from their homes. The Israeli military has now called up
:03:38. > :03:41.thousands of reserve soldiers. They released this video of their troops
:03:42. > :03:47.fighting on the ground in Gaza. The soldiers searched one home and they
:03:48. > :03:51.found an entrance to a tunnel. Israel says that until it destroys
:03:52. > :03:59.all the tunnels used by Hamas militant to cross-border attacks,
:04:00. > :04:04.this operation will not end. In an effort to protect its own civilians,
:04:05. > :04:11.Israel has brought ruin too much of Gaza. And with no cease-fire in
:04:12. > :04:12.sight, that looks set to continue. Martin Patience, BBC News, Gaza

:04:15. > :04:22.Bethany Bell is in Jerusalem. Bethany, Martin Patience was making
:04:23. > :04:26.clear that Israel intends to press ahead and the Israeli Prime Minister
:04:27. > :04:32.has said as much again this morning. Yes, Benjamin Netanyahu said that
:04:33. > :04:35.Israel's priority is destroying these cross-border tunnels through
:04:36. > :04:41.which Palestinian militants have been trying to enter Israel from
:04:42. > :04:45.Gaza. Cease-fire or no cease-fire, he said, the Army won't stop until
:04:46. > :04:48.it has destroyed the tunnels. The Israeli army has been telling us
:04:49. > :04:54.that they have identified more than 30 of these tunnels so far and have
:04:55. > :05:00.destroyed about half of those but they say it is quite a complicated
:05:01. > :05:03.process. Some of these tunnels are booby-trapped. They're trying to use
:05:04. > :05:06.robots to explore some of those tunnels but they're saying that
:05:07. > :05:12.Israeli combat engineers are sometimes having to dig under the
:05:13. > :05:15.tunnels in order to face explosives to demolish them. Yesterday, three
:05:16. > :05:22.Israeli soldiers were killed when they were trying to uncover a tunnel
:05:23. > :05:25.in the southern Gaza Strip. But despite the casualties, most
:05:26. > :05:27.Israelis are firmly behind the Army's operation in Gaza. Thank you

:05:31. > :05:33.a sharp drop in profits for the first half of the year - because,
:05:34. > :05:44.they say, of the warmer weather. Centrica, its owner, insists average
:05:45. > :05:49.bills will be lower this year, despite claims by the regulator that
:05:50. > :05:58.profits at the big six energy firms are set to double. A tale of two
:05:59. > :06:01.winters. In January 2013, temperatures plummeted and
:06:02. > :06:05.households across Britain turned up their thermostats. But this year,
:06:06. > :06:10.while some were hit by flooding, overall, temperatures have been mild
:06:11. > :06:15.so we've all used less energy and that hit British Gas's profits. On
:06:16. > :06:19.the British Gas side, because of the very warm weather, average
:06:20. > :06:23.consumption for our gas customers was down 24%. That means that bills
:06:24. > :06:29.this year, when you combine it with our price reduction at the beginning
:06:30. > :06:34.of the year, means that bills this year will be down some ?90 or 7%
:06:35. > :06:39.this year. In the six months to the end of June, Centrica saw profit
:06:40. > :06:47.plummet by 35%, although it still made ?1 billion. At British Gas,
:06:48. > :06:55.profits also fell by 26%, its worst performance in years. But now it
:06:56. > :06:59.expected profit per household to be ?51 in 2014, well down on the year
:07:00. > :07:03.before. That is a lot lower than the profit margin is published by the
:07:04. > :07:08.industry regulator. Its estimate of profit per household of ?106 has led
:07:09. > :07:11.to a major industry row and has left many bear world at. Consumers will
:07:12. > :07:17.be confused about what is going on with profits being down, yet the
:07:18. > :07:21.forecast for profits being up. We need to see this investigation from
:07:22. > :07:25.the competition authority to get to the bottom of what's going on with
:07:26. > :07:31.energy prices. Centrica insists it needs a reasonable and will need for
:07:32. > :07:36.decades to come. This huge platform, under construction here in
:07:37. > :07:40.Hartlepool, is part of a ?1.4 billion overseas project. Within a
:07:41. > :07:46.year, all of this will be installed offshore, where it will produce
:07:47. > :07:52.enough gas for more than 1 million UK homes. A stone's throw away from
:07:53. > :07:55.the yard, I met Ronnie, a British Gas customer. He accepts the need to

:08:56. > :09:01.and earlier crises in Georgia and Estonia have been a wake-up call for
:09:02. > :09:06.NATO. Having not considered Russia and an adversary for 20 years, MPs
:09:07. > :09:09.say the alliance is now poorly prepared to defend its vulnerable
:09:10. > :09:14.Baltic allies in particular, if Moscow turned its attention in their
:09:15. > :09:17.direction. What Moscow is doing is difficult to respond to because NATO
:09:18. > :09:20.is set up for an armed attack and assumed tanks would cross borders
:09:21. > :09:25.but when you are looking at separatist groups with intelligence
:09:26. > :09:30.officers, cyber attacks and intelligence warfare, it is a much
:09:31. > :09:34.harder thing to deal with than that is where the challenge lies. NATO
:09:35. > :09:38.has responded, including boosting air patrols of the Baltic to try to
:09:39. > :09:43.reassure its uneasy allies in the region. But is that realistic?
:09:44. > :09:48.They're talking about more exercises, and changes in the NATO
:09:49. > :09:52.command structure. This will come at a cost but the report also
:09:53. > :09:56.underlines the degree to which NATO is still a very powerful military
:09:57. > :10:02.alliance and, in some ways, rather more powerful than Russia. Britain
:10:03. > :10:05.has sent Typhoon fighters to the Baltic. The report says recent
:10:06. > :10:08.events are also a game change of a British defence policy but the
:10:09. > :10:12.Government insists it hasn't popped its guard. We are spending to debate
:10:13. > :10:17.of GDP and want other countries to commit to that. Many of them spend
:10:18. > :10:21.less. We have the largest defence budget in Europe, the largest in the
:10:22. > :10:26.whole of Europe. -- the whole of NATO. It is time other countries do
:10:27. > :10:29.more. With a NATO summit in Wales in September, the report calls on the
:10:30. > :10:34.British Government to take the lead in what it says is not just a
:10:35. > :10:34.challenge for the Alliance but a unique opportunity to re-establish
:10:35. > :10:38.its relevance. After days of being turned away,
:10:39. > :10:41.a team of international investigators in Ukraine has finally
:10:42. > :10:44.been able to access the crash site Our correspondent Tom Burridge is
:10:45. > :10:56.in the capital, Kiev. Tom, this appears to be a sign of
:10:57. > :10:58.real progress. It is, because for four days running, that team of
:10:59. > :11:03.international experts has been unable to get to the crash site of
:11:04. > :11:08.age 17 because of the fighting in that area. But there are still much
:11:09. > :11:14.larger teams - Australian, Dutch police and friends expect - based
:11:15. > :11:19.several hours' drive away waiting to get there. The Ukrainian parliament
:11:20. > :11:23.has approved a plan for a much larger deployment and it said that
:11:24. > :11:28.those police from Holland, the Netherlands and Australia can be
:11:29. > :11:33.armed for their own self defence but the real question is, when come out
:11:34. > :11:37.much larger deployment happen? That's really unclear because it's
:11:38. > :11:39.very unclear when the UN might take control of the site or when the
:11:40. > :11:44.fighting might come down sufficiently for that happen. Then,
:11:45. > :11:48.really, the investigation into flight damage 17 can begin. When
:11:49. > :11:52.they get access to that site and when they can first collect any
:11:53. > :11:56.human remains that might be left in that countryside where the plane

:12:09. > :12:10.Ethiopia and Kenya have also announced that airline passengers

:12:13. > :12:20.Our correspondent Thomas Fessy is in Dakar in Senegal.
:12:21. > :12:25.Thomas, the countries badly affected are announcing emergency plans but
:12:26. > :12:36.this is five months after the outbreak. Yes, some say it would be
:12:37. > :12:41.a bit late. At least what some of the experts or medical staff on the
:12:42. > :12:45.ground will say better late than never. The government have come
:12:46. > :12:51.under criticism for their poor handling of this outbreak. The
:12:52. > :12:56.little action that they had, the feeling was that it fuelled the
:12:57. > :13:00.context of suspicion and fear and didn't contain the outbreak. The
:13:01. > :13:05.long-standing defiance of people who had never received a great deal of
:13:06. > :13:10.health care from the state turned into hostility and health workers
:13:11. > :13:15.are still being accused, in some communities, of spreading the virus.
:13:16. > :13:20.So quarantine is a crucial step but it is hard to imagine exactly how
:13:21. > :13:23.you can quarantine entire communities. This is what the
:13:24. > :13:29.authorities in Sierra Leone and Liberia are looking to do and the
:13:30. > :13:34.response they will get from the people - either cooperation or
:13:35. > :13:38.understanding or more hostility - is the main question. What is certain
:13:39. > :13:42.is the fear that the main virus may spread further is growing. Ethiopian
:13:43. > :13:48.and Kenya have said today that they will start screening passengers
:13:49. > :13:55.coming from West Africa. Thank you very much indeed.

:13:58. > :13:59.they feel unprepared to deal with the possibility of people arriving
:14:00. > :14:08.Yesterday the Foreign Secretary talked about the risk here in the UK
:14:09. > :14:13.and how the UK was prepared. What is the scale of threat? Clearly,
:14:14. > :14:16.members of the union which represents order control staff are
:14:17. > :14:22.concerned. They are saying they've had no proper guidance or the
:14:23. > :14:26.facilities at airports. -- border control. That said, the agency which
:14:27. > :14:31.is involved in border security and controls has made it clear that they
:14:32. > :14:35.have issued guidance to staff, making it clear what steps should be
:14:36. > :14:39.taken. They say that if a person is identified at the border of being a
:14:40. > :14:43.potential carrier of Ebola that person is immediately referred to a
:14:44. > :14:46.specialist medical care provider via ambulance. I think what Philip
:14:47. > :14:49.Hammond, the Foreign Secretary, was trying to do was make it clear to
:14:50. > :14:54.all these agencies that they need to be very aware of the potential
:14:55. > :14:58.threat without overplaying the risk. It's worth pointing out that border
:14:59. > :15:01.control staff already have to deal with diseases. We are in an
:15:02. > :15:06.interconnected world with lots of flyers coming into the UK,
:15:07. > :15:11.potentially with fevers like to book your noses, means we are already

:21:24. > :21:28.diabetes. Walking clubs like this help those at risk, as well as some
:21:29. > :21:34.of those who have already been diagnosed. It has made me fitter and
:21:35. > :21:39.leaner. I could so easily sit back and think, I will not do that today.
:21:40. > :21:44.You get up and get on with it. I'd add a walking groups like this can
:21:45. > :21:48.be a great way to help people shed excess weight. Not enough of us are
:21:49. > :21:53.getting as much exercise as we need. Experts are saying, as we pile on
:21:54. > :21:58.the bounce, there is a real link between waist size and developing
:21:59. > :22:04.diabetes. -- pile on the pounds. Today we are being warned that a
:22:05. > :22:09.larger waist size increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. For men with
:22:10. > :22:13.waste a little more than 40 inches the risk is five times greater than
:22:14. > :22:21.a man with a waist just three inches smaller. Women a threefold increase
:22:22. > :22:25.in risk when there waist is over 31 inches. You can eat a healthy and
:22:26. > :22:33.balanced diet. The single, big tip is to lose weight. Not so long ago,
:22:34. > :22:39.Tommy Brown enjoyed a diet of fast food and fizzy drinks. Now it is
:22:40. > :22:44.fresh veg and chicken after he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. If I
:22:45. > :22:49.knew then what I knew now I would have adopted a more healthy
:22:50. > :22:56.lifestyle instead of eating kebabs and going to the GP. He takes
:22:57. > :23:00.medication every day to control his diabetes which can cause serious
:23:01. > :23:04.health problems, including blindness and amputation. It is a preventable
:23:05. > :23:08.disease but growing numbers of us can still fall victim.
:23:09. > :23:11.Dominic Hughes reports. It?s day eight of the Commonwealth
:23:12. > :23:15.Games in Glasgow and 25 gold medals are up for grabs across 12 sports.
:23:16. > :23:17.One of the first medal events was in cycling, the women's individual
:23:18. > :23:19.time trial, in which England's Emma Pooley claimed silver.
:23:20. > :23:26.The men's individual time trial is currently under way and Jane
:23:27. > :23:29.Hill is at Glasgow Green for us. Yes, we're here at
:23:30. > :23:32.the finishing line where every rider has been greeted by huge cheers.
:23:33. > :23:38.This is one of the Games' free events, and
:23:39. > :23:43.thousands of people are lining the route to watch, despite the rain.
:23:44. > :23:52.Natalie Pirks been watching all of today's action.
:23:53. > :24:01.Here is Emma Pooley. Tiny in stature but a giant on the road. England 's
:24:02. > :24:04.cycling star Emma Pooley set off from Glasgow Green on what would be
:24:05. > :24:08.her last major time trial race. Set to retire from cycling after the
:24:09. > :24:12.games, this was a chance to help England's continued aerosol on the
:24:13. > :24:16.top of the overall standings. British Cycling has been a toured a
:24:17. > :24:24.force over the last few years. Here, in Glasgow, on the track at least,
:24:25. > :24:28.England has been dominant. That rivalry is continuing at the top of
:24:29. > :24:34.the medal table. It was not an Australian causing her problems.
:24:35. > :24:40.This Australian has always seemed to be the bridesmaid. In tricky
:24:41. > :24:46.conditions, it was a straight fight for the fastest time between the
:24:47. > :24:53.two. Superb riding from start to finish. It was not enough. Emma
:24:54. > :24:59.Pooley settled for second. That silver means England are still top
:25:00. > :25:03.of the medal table. Greg Rutherford 's long jump last night helping to
:25:04. > :25:07.move England ahead in the number of golds won. We would have these big
:25:08. > :25:13.battles with Australia. If we can come out on top, we will be over the
:25:14. > :25:18.moon. People are killing it at that and getting multiple medals. That is
:25:19. > :25:23.what we need. That rivalry looks set to continue in a hockey. Australia
:25:24. > :25:27.look the most likely opponent in a daunting semifinal for England men
:25:28. > :25:31.after they beat Canada three to one this morning. Nothing says elite
:25:32. > :25:35.sport like the sight of grown men in inflatable hamster wheel. That is
:25:36. > :25:39.one of the wave bands are being kept amused in matches ahead of these
:25:40. > :25:44.Games. The police need to improve their technique if they are to win
:25:45. > :25:55.gold. The parables triples team did not fall flat during their moment.
:25:56. > :26:01.They beat Scotland to bronze. There have been many memorable moments.
:26:02. > :26:11.Not all of them sport related. Let's remind ourselves of one inside the
:26:12. > :26:22.velodrome. Chris Prichard has proposed and has just got engaged.
:26:23. > :26:30.How about that? Long plan or spur of the moment? It had been planned for
:26:31. > :26:35.six months. I am embracing the atmosphere. The atmosphere is
:26:36. > :26:39.unbelievable today. A fantastic turnout. Cycling is one of the
:26:40. > :26:44.sports that will really benefit from the legacy of these Games. They are
:26:45. > :26:51.benefiting from the legacy of London. From here, cycling will
:26:52. > :26:56.explode in Glasgow. Have you seen it grow and grow? Year on year, it is
:26:57. > :27:02.getting bigger and bigger. Enjoy your wedding. Thank you very much
:27:03. > :27:05.indeed. From Glasgow Green, back to you.
:27:06. > :27:11.England have won the third Test against India in Southampton by 266
:27:12. > :27:18.runs, to level the five-match series at 1-1.
:27:19. > :27:25.It is England 's first Test match victory in nearly a year. Our sports
:27:26. > :27:33.correspondent reports. A car ferry from Southampton to the Isle of
:27:34. > :27:36.Wight, one leaves every hour. Manoeuvring the cricket side in a
:27:37. > :27:40.positive direction has been a liberal rear is task, to test
:27:41. > :27:45.anyone's patience. On Thursday morning, the win was coming. The
:27:46. > :27:53.ninth ball of the day and a fifth wicket fell for India. Things were
:27:54. > :27:58.moving. Holiday time and ?1 for children to get in today. The
:27:59. > :28:03.challenge of Hampshire to generate a crowd and an atmosphere. It is an
:28:04. > :28:08.out of town ground and not the easiest to reach. India were
:28:09. > :28:12.unravelling. That was the captain gone. Not even half an hour played
:28:13. > :28:20.and another for Anderson. India running at a batsman. India could
:28:21. > :28:26.win the match, remember, if they got to 445 - hypothetical. Instant were
:28:27. > :28:32.not bothered about Andries. He could not quite understand it. He had been
:28:33. > :28:46.undone by the bowler, fast becoming England 's spearhead spinner. Eight
:28:47. > :28:50.down, I. Unplayable? A duck. He had been picked for his batting but his
:28:51. > :28:59.sixth wicket finished it off. The margin that really mattered was the
:29:00. > :29:01.long wait that had happened and the heavyweight removed. Now for the
:29:02. > :29:14.weather. July is in the top ten for its
:29:15. > :29:21.warmth and sunny weather. Not as warm as July three -- July 2013. It
:29:22. > :29:23.continues a successful months where we are seeing temperatures above
:29:24. > :29:29.average. In the south and east we will end with someone as well. The
:29:30. > :29:33.cloud is advancing elsewhere. More cloud elsewhere. Showers quite
:29:34. > :29:38.potent in parts of Wales and the and South West. That is a different
:29:39. > :29:43.compared with yesterday. There is more chance of catching a shower or
:29:44. > :29:52.downpour across parts of England and Wales. The Southeast is favoured.
:29:53. > :29:56.Some sunshine between the showers elsewhere. Slow-moving showers in
:29:57. > :30:00.Northern Ireland and Scotland could bring downpours. Some more
:30:01. > :30:04.persistent rain in the North of Scotland. You can see through the
:30:05. > :30:07.central lowlands there are some showers around. Touch and go with
:30:08. > :30:13.the showers in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games and the athletics
:30:14. > :30:16.this evening. The winds are not as strong as yesterday. The showers
:30:17. > :30:20.will continue for a time this evening. They will largely die away
:30:21. > :30:25.to the coasts. We could see some mist. It is warm again but the
:30:26. > :30:30.humidity not as high as it was earlier in the week. Reasonably
:30:31. > :30:34.comfortable. The humidity is rising towards the West. Tomorrow, sunshine
:30:35. > :30:38.and showers. Not all catching the showers. Some good spells of
:30:39. > :30:43.sunshine in between. Slow-moving showers in Northern Ireland and
:30:44. > :30:48.Scotland. Probably more so in the west and north. Again we are seeing
:30:49. > :30:55.temperatures wheezing towards the mid-20s. Temperatures average
:30:56. > :30:59.elsewhere. On Friday night and into Saturday, a warning from the Met
:31:00. > :31:03.Office. We could see a couple of inches of rain. The chance of
:31:04. > :31:09.thunder we rein in the year but less likely and still a risk. You can
:31:10. > :31:13.seem Wales, northern England and Scotland looking pretty miserable
:31:14. > :31:17.during Saturday. Gradually the low pressure will move northwards into
:31:18. > :31:22.Scotland. That means that for Scotland for Sunday with the closing
:31:23. > :31:24.ceremony of the Commonwealth Games it looks wet, windy with potential
:31:25. > :31:26.gales on the hills.
