:01:46. > :01:49.A three-day humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza has collapsed, just hours

:01:50. > :01:54.after it began, with reports of attacks on both sides. It followed a

:01:55. > :01:58.heavy exchange of fire in the city of Rafah, where the Gaza health

:01:59. > :02:01.minute city says at least 50 Palestinians were killed. The

:02:02. > :02:05.Israeli military fears one of its soldiers may have been captured.

:02:06. > :02:09.Both sides have blamed each other for the truce unravelling. A senior

:02:10. > :02:14.Israeli official said their response will be crushing. Our correspondent

:02:15. > :02:20.is in Gaza for us and there was a fragment of hope this morning. That

:02:21. > :02:25.was quickly extinguished. It didn't last long. No, it was over

:02:26. > :02:29.no sooner than it had begun. This morning we could hear the sound of

:02:30. > :02:33.heavy Israeli shelling A number of air strikes. We saw Palestinian

:02:34. > :02:40.rockets being fired in the other direction. Of course, the usual, he

:02:41. > :02:45.said, she said about who broke the ceasefire. It was meant to come into

:02:46. > :02:49.force 8am this morning. There was a brief moment of quiet and a bit of

:02:50. > :02:57.optimism, at least at the start of the day.

:02:58. > :03:06.This morning, at last, some hope in Gaza.

:03:07. > :03:19.Quad rup lets, born on the eve of a supposed ceasefire.

:03:20. > :03:23.Combined weight, seven kilos. Chair xused mother -- their

:03:24. > :03:28.ex-husted mother tells me she went through five years of IVF.

:03:29. > :03:34.ex-husted mother tells me she went she has happy news. We hope their

:03:35. > :03:42.ex-husted mother tells me she went we hope they respect the ceasefire.

:03:43. > :03:47.We have to look at this disaster in the Gaza Strip. What kind of life

:03:48. > :03:55.awaits these children? One day old - born into a world upturned.

:03:56. > :04:01.This is what's left here - right on the boundary of Israel. It has been

:04:02. > :04:06.pounded for more than three weeks. By mid-morning, as word of the

:04:07. > :04:11.ceasefire spread, it had sprung back to life.

:04:12. > :04:16.The UN says more than a quarter of Gaza's population has been

:04:17. > :04:21.displaced. Food, water and power are in short supply.

:04:22. > :04:24.People are using this brief lull in the fighting to return

:04:25. > :04:27.People are using this brief lull in homes. Many are finding them

:04:28. > :04:32.completely flattened. They are picking up whatever they can and

:04:33. > :04:36.heading to seek shelter and all the while there is the stench of dead

:04:37. > :04:40.heading to seek shelter and all the bodies still trapped underneath the

:04:41. > :04:47.rubble. But the ceasefire was over almost as

:04:48. > :04:52.soon as it started. More Israeli air strikes and Palestinian rockets.

:04:53. > :04:57.And then from Rafah n the south of Gaza, the news that could see this

:04:58. > :05:01.war escalate further. An Israeli soldier suspected to have been

:05:02. > :05:06.captured by Hamas fighters after they crossed the border through a

:05:07. > :05:11.tunnel. Hamas will see this as a huge result. It took more than five

:05:12. > :05:17.years for Israel to free the last soldier captured in Gaza.

:05:18. > :05:24.Israel will undoubtedly respond with massive force. Gaza awaits with

:05:25. > :05:28.trepidation. So, we saw there the streets were

:05:29. > :05:34.busy, but people are hurrying home now that the news is spreading of

:05:35. > :05:39.this captured Israeli soldier and I think there is a sense that tonight

:05:40. > :05:44.in Gaza could be an extremely difficult one.

:05:45. > :05:47.Thank you. Let's go to Jerusalem and speak to our correspondent who is

:05:48. > :05:52.there. What is the Israeli Government saying this lunch time?

:05:53. > :05:56.Well, the Israeli army has said that the ceasefire is over. It's

:05:57. > :05:59.concerned that one of its soldiers may have been captured by

:06:00. > :06:07.Palestinian militants in the south of the Gaza Strip. It says that its

:06:08. > :06:11.soldiers were carrying out an operation to destroy one of the

:06:12. > :06:16.cross border tunnels earlier this morning, an hour-and-a-half into

:06:17. > :06:20.this humanitarian ceasefire when militants, Palestinian militants,

:06:21. > :06:25.came up from one of the entrances of those tunnels and attacked them. It

:06:26. > :06:29.said at least one of the militants was a suicide bomber who blew

:06:30. > :06:34.himself up. There was an exchange of fire. Now it appears that one

:06:35. > :06:38.soldier is missing. Now, the Israeli army has not commented on his

:06:39. > :06:42.condition and it is not clear whether he's dead or alive. They say

:06:43. > :06:48.they are conducting an extensive search to try and find him. One

:06:49. > :06:52.senior Israeli official told the BBC that Hamas is responsible for

:06:53. > :07:00.breaking the ceasefire and will pay a heavy price. It said Israel's

:07:01. > :07:05.response will be crushing. This current conflict is the longest

:07:06. > :07:09.between Israel and the Hamas militants and the premature collapse

:07:10. > :07:13.of the ceasefire raises questions about the diplomatic efforts to find

:07:14. > :07:18.a solution as our correspondent now reports.

:07:19. > :07:22.For a while today, time for Palestinians and Israelis to take

:07:23. > :07:26.stock. The mounting costs of this confrontation, especially in lives,

:07:27. > :07:29.and fears of further regional fallout are what have propelled

:07:30. > :07:34.international efforts to try and bring a halt to the violence.

:07:35. > :07:37.There'll be urgent efforts now to re-establish what was the most

:07:38. > :07:44.significant truce agreement in this crisis so far. The US Secretary of

:07:45. > :07:46.State John Kerry pressed on with his diplomatic efforts, despite previous

:07:47. > :07:51.setbacks. The UN, Egypt and Qatar have been

:07:52. > :07:54.involved. The stakes and the emotions here have been huge

:07:55. > :07:59.obstacles, with conflicting pressures on both sides.

:08:00. > :08:03.For Israel's military, strong backing at home to press on with its

:08:04. > :08:08.mission, but huge international pressure on the Government to hold

:08:09. > :08:12.back. The day-to-day suffering of ordinary Palestinians in Gaza has

:08:13. > :08:17.put pressure on Hamas, which also has fewer friends now in the Arab

:08:18. > :08:20.world. Still, it has remained defiant and establishing a

:08:21. > :08:24.humanitarian truce may have proved difficult enough. Agreeing a more

:08:25. > :08:29.lasting ceasefire between the two sides will be more challenging. Both

:08:30. > :08:34.sides say a simple quiet for quiet deal which has halted previous

:08:35. > :08:48.conflicts is not enough. Talks on all this planned for Cairo

:08:49. > :08:51.are already on hold. Getting them going at all now looks very

:08:52. > :08:57.uncertain. Rolf Harris has applied for

:08:58. > :09:02.permission to appeal against his convictions for a string of indecent

:09:03. > :09:05.assaults. He was jailed for almost six years last month. Our

:09:06. > :09:09.correspondent is here with me. Tell us more.

:09:10. > :09:14.Confirmation today that the lawyers representing Rolf Harris will appeal

:09:15. > :09:20.against the convictions. Remember, almost one month ago, 12 convictions

:09:21. > :09:22.against four women of indecent assault. The grounds for the

:09:23. > :09:26.assault, we don't know at the moment. We will probably not find

:09:27. > :09:30.that out until actually it goes before a judge and that will

:09:31. > :09:34.probably not take place until the autumn. Of course, we have to

:09:35. > :09:39.remember this comes a day after the Attorney General made a decision. He

:09:40. > :09:44.announced there would not be a referral of the sentence to the

:09:45. > :09:49.Court of Appeal. There were 150 complaints about that sentence,

:09:50. > :10:00.saying five year, nine months was too lenient. Thank you very much.

:10:01. > :10:08.The plan to z to create 100,000 genetic profiles over the next four

:10:09. > :10:12.years by mapping DNA from patients and some of their relatives. David

:10:13. > :10:16.Cameron said the scheme would see the UK leading the world in genetic

:10:17. > :10:21.research within years. Here is our correspondent.

:10:22. > :10:28.Better understanding rather diseases and cancers is at -- rare diseases

:10:29. > :10:32.and cancers is at the heart of this scheme.

:10:33. > :10:38.A genome contains a person's entire DNA. It is hoped the scheme will

:10:39. > :10:43.unlock genetic secrets and help develop new treatments. It means we

:10:44. > :10:47.can diagnose earlier and develop new treatments. We are seeing it already

:10:48. > :10:52.in cancer. Herceptin is a wonder drug. The survival rate in breast

:10:53. > :10:58.cancer has gone from 40% to over 95%. This revolution is changing

:10:59. > :11:03.medicine. If you are looking for the inheritance... Edward has first-hand

:11:04. > :11:09.experience of how little is known about genetics. Last year, his

:11:10. > :11:19.11-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a unique genetic condition.

:11:20. > :11:22.This He says getting a diagnosis has given them hope for the future. That

:11:23. > :11:27.made all the difference to us as parents. We know it will not affect

:11:28. > :11:31.Isobel and her sister as well and it is genetic and not attributed to

:11:32. > :11:36.anything as she grew up. Who will have their genes mapped? Around

:11:37. > :11:42.40,000 NHS patients are expected to take part in centres across England.

:11:43. > :11:47.They fall into two groups, those with cancer and those with rare

:11:48. > :11:53.diseases. 100,000 genomes will be mapped from patients, their

:11:54. > :11:57.relatives and cancer tumours. This microscope slide can hold the

:11:58. > :12:00.complete genetic data of up to eight people. The information so vast it

:12:01. > :12:06.takes the computer three days to process. It is an ambitious project

:12:07. > :12:12.and scientists are warning it may be many years before this work

:12:13. > :12:18.translates into new treatments. Let's speak to our health editor,

:12:19. > :12:23.who is here. How significant is this push? Is are there any potential

:12:24. > :12:29.fears? It is very significant for the UK, which will be right out

:12:30. > :12:31.there in the advance on this sort of genetic research, compared with

:12:32. > :12:36.other leading industrialised nations. This mapping of 100,000

:12:37. > :12:42.genomes is a very ambitious project. It used to take years to map just

:12:43. > :12:46.one. It now takes a couple of days. They hope to complete it within four

:12:47. > :12:49.years and that will open the door, potentially, to a number of

:12:50. > :12:54.advances. The key here is the development of what is called

:12:55. > :12:58."personalised medicine." Instead of being told you have a cancer, you

:12:59. > :13:02.will be told you have a variation of it and a particular drug, based on

:13:03. > :13:10.your genetic map can be targeted at you and be used for your treatment.

:13:11. > :13:16.That is the, if you like the holy Grail. This data will be stored away

:13:17. > :13:20.with some of your conditions and your genetic code. Who will it be

:13:21. > :13:23.made available to? It has been made clear it will not be passed on to

:13:24. > :13:27.insurance companies or marketing companies. It will be made available

:13:28. > :13:30.for credited medical research institutions. There are some

:13:31. > :13:35.question marks over that. Thank you.

:13:36. > :13:38.A team of 60 forensic experts, from the Netherlands and Australia,

:13:39. > :13:41.have now reached the crash site of the Malaysian airliner which

:13:42. > :13:44.They're hoping to recover some of the victims? remains

:13:45. > :13:50.Their arrival comes amid reports of more fighting between Ukrainian

:13:51. > :13:52.Government troops and pro-Russian separatists in the area.

:13:53. > :13:57.Let's speak to our correspondent in Ukraine, Tom Burridge.

:13:58. > :14:05.What can you tell us about this team and the work being done? Their first

:14:06. > :14:09.priority will be to collect any of the of the remains of the victims,

:14:10. > :14:14.that could be scattered in that large area. 21 Square Miles. It is a

:14:15. > :14:18.significant moment. It is a much larger team than we saw yesterday

:14:19. > :14:22.reaching the crash site. Possibly the largest that has been able to

:14:23. > :14:26.get there since the airliner was blown up two weeks ago. Fighting has

:14:27. > :14:32.continued several miles south of there, which is being shelled. The

:14:33. > :14:37.Ukrainian military have lost some heavy losses. Ten of their troops

:14:38. > :14:41.were killed. It is happening to the east all of that, from the city

:14:42. > :14:45.Donetsk. The Ukrainian army has taken a lot of territory surrounding

:14:46. > :14:48.that city. Taking the city itself will be much harder and could come

:14:49. > :14:54.at a much higher cost. Thank you.

:14:55. > :14:57.What can you tell us about this team and the work being done? Their first

:14:58. > :15:09.priority will be to collect any of the of the remains of the victims,

:15:10. > :15:19.It is thought five firefighters are among the dead. Our correspondent

:15:20. > :15:26.has sent this report from Taiwan. The explosions occurred just before

:15:27. > :15:37.midnight, sparking several fires. Seen from the air, the damage from

:15:38. > :15:40.The blast tore up the streets in this densely populated

:15:41. > :15:44.neighbourhood. From the ground, the destruction was also revealing. Many

:15:45. > :15:48.vehicles were flipped over, including this fire engine, which

:15:49. > :15:52.had responded to reports of a possible gas leak. Most of the

:15:53. > :15:55.people killed or injured were on the streets at the time. Some had come

:15:56. > :16:00.out because they spelled streets at the time. Some had come

:16:01. > :16:04.odour. Others were simply passing through on their way home.

:16:05. > :16:08.Many of the survivors were still in shock. The windows of their homes or

:16:09. > :16:14.businesses were completely shattered.

:16:15. > :16:19.This lady says, the explosion was so powerful it knocked her off her

:16:20. > :16:24.chair. And this man said

:16:25. > :16:28.chair. tried to clear the debris to try and

:16:29. > :16:35.make way for ambulances and fire trucks but was told to leave because

:16:36. > :16:40.it was unsafe. The cause of the explosions are under investigation.

:16:41. > :16:45.The authorities suspect that what may have caused the blast is a

:16:46. > :16:48.chemical leak from one of the many pipelines belonging to petrol

:16:49. > :16:54.companies which run under these streets.

:16:55. > :16:57.As the work was done to clear the streets hazardous material

:16:58. > :17:03.specialists tried to detect for unsafe levels of chemicals. Many of

:17:04. > :17:07.the residents are worried. With many pipelines believed to run under the

:17:08. > :17:10.streets and some believed to be decades old, they fear more

:17:11. > :17:15.explosions could occur. A three-day ceasefire in Gaza

:17:16. > :17:20.collapses after just a few hours An Israeli soldier is thought

:17:21. > :17:38.to have been captured. Coming up, I am at the Commonwealth

:17:39. > :17:39.Games, where it has already been a successful morning for England in

:17:40. > :17:40.the synchronised diving. A great night on the track

:17:41. > :17:44.for the capital's athletes- we talk to the winners who've boosted

:17:45. > :17:47.England's medal tally overnight. And after thousands of angry

:17:48. > :17:50.Back To The Future fans were let down, we get to see

:17:51. > :17:58.the performance they missed. It was described as the war to

:17:59. > :18:02.end all wars, and it started one World War One lasted more than

:18:03. > :18:09.four years and claimed over Our correspondent, Robert Hall,

:18:30. > :18:33.Folkestone carries the names of those from this town and the

:18:34. > :18:37.surrounding area who lost their lives in two world wars. But on

:18:38. > :18:42.Monday, Folkestone will remember thousands of other soldiers who

:18:43. > :18:45.simply passed through. It was a gathering point for British troops.

:18:46. > :18:49.Long columns marched down this road during the four-year war, down the

:18:50. > :18:51.road to the harbour, where the ships were waiting to carry them to the

:18:52. > :18:53.battlefields of France and Belgium. In the station cafe on Folkestone

:18:54. > :18:56.seafront, Gary Stanforth is reminding his customers that they

:18:57. > :18:58.are walking a route into history. During the First World War,

:18:59. > :19:00.Folkestone residents were swallowed Millions

:19:01. > :19:06.of soldiers began their journey to the front here, arriving on foot or

:19:07. > :19:09.by train, but all destined for the troop ships queueing to load

:19:10. > :19:13.up for the trip across the Channel. The First World War was such

:19:14. > :19:18.a bad war, where so many lives were lost, that we should remember the

:19:19. > :19:25.First World War in such a big way. Along the old platforms, sea breezes

:19:26. > :19:30.whistle through empty window frames The last train service left here

:19:31. > :19:37.five years ago, but the harbour owners say any

:19:38. > :19:40.change of use will include reminders We think we know roughly where the

:19:41. > :19:50.site was of the old cafe where the Jeffrey sisters and their helpers

:19:51. > :19:55.served cups of tea to the soldiers. And we think we can reconstruct

:19:56. > :20:03.that, and perhaps install More than 40,000 men

:20:04. > :20:11.and women signed the cafe's visitor books, many as they sailed for war,

:20:12. > :20:16.buoyed by pride and patriotism, others as they returned, wounded,

:20:17. > :20:24.broken and dying. On the peaceful slopes outside

:20:25. > :20:27.the sprawling military camp at Shorncliffe,

:20:28. > :20:31.soldiers of the Great War lie among army brothers who fought and died in

:20:32. > :20:37.campaigns spanning three centuries. This is

:20:38. > :20:41.a classic British trench system. Chris Shaw leads a campaign to

:21:41. > :21:41.personal moment the local group this is hundreds of lanterns on the

:21:42. > :21:48.graves of those men in the cemetery. A former army intelligence officer

:21:49. > :21:52.is calling for a new inquiry into child sexual abuse at the Kincora

:21:53. > :21:54.boys? home in Northern Ireland. Brian Gemmell says that

:21:55. > :21:57.in the late ?70s, he was ordered by MI5 to stop investigating what was

:21:58. > :22:00.happening at the home and believes there may have been a cover-up to

:22:01. > :22:03.protect prominent people. Our Ireland Correspondent,

:22:04. > :22:15.Chris Buckler, reports. It was set up as a place where

:22:16. > :22:19.teenage boys could be cared for, but inside the home in Belfast, many

:22:20. > :22:21.were abused. In the early 1980s, the scandal was made public and three

:22:22. > :22:26.men including the well-known loyalist Jim McGrath were convicted

:22:27. > :22:32.of a series of offences. But it is claimed that years before any police

:22:33. > :22:36.enquiry, MI5 stopped an investigation into what was

:22:37. > :22:39.happening at the home. In 1975, Brian Gemmill was gathering

:22:40. > :22:43.information for the Army about loyalist. He prepared a report about

:22:44. > :22:49.Kincora for a leading security service officer, based on claims, an

:22:50. > :22:56.agent nine as well flush. He told me not just to stop any investigation

:27:24. > :27:27.people have to do this. This was what it looked like

:27:31. > :27:32.after Spy Booth was painted, there was talk of selling it to a

:27:33. > :27:36.collector, but a local businessman pledged hundreds of thousands

:27:37. > :27:41.of pounds to save the piece. If this graffiti cannot be removed,

:28:41. > :28:43.is it looking for the weekend? A bit more unsettled. Somebody has painted

:28:44. > :28:47.over the sunshine with a cloud today. So it is the start of a

:28:48. > :28:51.change we have been looking at all week. It will not be a wash-out this

:28:52. > :28:56.weekend, but we already have distinctly more cloud across Wales

:28:57. > :29:02.and western England. Some really heavy showers through Cornwall and

:29:03. > :29:07.Wales and Lancashire, pouring it down. There are thunderstorms around

:29:08. > :29:11.as well. For the rest of the day, it stays cloudy, with outbreaks of

:29:12. > :29:20.showery rain across Western parts of England and Wales. Clearly a of

:29:21. > :29:27.cloud for more than England and Wales the temperature down. Most of

:29:28. > :29:30.the rain band, fewer heavy showers in Scotland and Northern Ireland,

:29:31. > :29:34.but some rain for the start of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival today.

:29:35. > :29:42.Hopefully, fewer showers for the Commonwealth Games today. But again,

:29:43. > :29:48.I would not rule out a shower. As those showers fade away, that is at

:29:49. > :29:54.the expense of this developing rain band that we have in watching. It is

:29:55. > :29:59.a developing area of low pressure, so drenching rains are forecast

:30:00. > :30:02.here. There is a Met Office warning for Wales and Northern Ireland for

:30:03. > :30:08.Saturday. Was be some welcome rain for the gardens in East Anglia, but

:30:09. > :30:14.the rain is not guaranteed here. It is more likely further west and

:30:15. > :30:19.north. The strengthening wind blows some holes in the cloud for an

:30:20. > :30:22.improving picture in the afternoon. Not bad in the north-west of

:30:23. > :30:31.Scotland. But where the rain band is, with a strengthening wind, not

:30:32. > :30:34.particularly pleasant. I can show you the low pressure. We are talking

:30:35. > :30:42.about tales in Augusta Randy Irish Sea. -- in August around the Irish

:30:43. > :30:48.Sea. Wet, cold and windy in the morning here. Slow improvements to

:30:49. > :30:53.the day. Elsewhere, it looks like the drier day of the weekend for the

:30:54. > :30:56.bulk of England. More showers in Northern Ireland. Hopefully by

:30:57. > :31:03.Monday, bank holiday for Scotland, it looks vastly improved. Still a

:31:04. > :31:06.few showers in the West. So yes, the weekend is a bit more unsettled than

:31:07. > :31:08.it has been with that rain around, and there was unseasonably rainy

:31:09. > :31:14.weather as well. But not a wash-out. Now a reminder
