Good afternoon. Welcome to the BBC News. | :01:24. | :01:45. | |
A three-day humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza has collapsed, just hours | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
after it began, with reports of attacks on both sides. It followed a | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
heavy exchange of fire in the city of Rafah, where the Gaza health | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
minute city says at least 50 Palestinians were killed. The | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Israeli military fears one of its soldiers may have been captured. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Both sides have blamed each other for the truce unravelling. A senior | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Israeli official said their response will be crushing. Our correspondent | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
is in Gaza for us and there was a fragment of hope this morning. That | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
was quickly extinguished. It didn't last long. No, it was over | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
no sooner than it had begun. This morning we could hear the sound of | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
heavy Israeli shelling A number of air strikes. We saw Palestinian | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
rockets being fired in the other direction. Of course, the usual, he | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
said, she said about who broke the ceasefire. It was meant to come into | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
force 8am this morning. There was a brief moment of quiet and a bit of | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
optimism, at least at the start of the day. | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
This morning, at last, some hope in Gaza. | :02:58. | :03:06. | |

ex-husted mother tells me she went we hope they respect the ceasefire. | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
We have to look at this disaster in the Gaza Strip. What kind of life | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
awaits these children? One day old - born into a world upturned. | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
This is what's left here - right on the boundary of Israel. It has been | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
pounded for more than three weeks. By mid-morning, as word of the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
ceasefire spread, it had sprung back to life. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
The UN says more than a quarter of Gaza's population has been | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
displaced. Food, water and power are in short supply. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
People are using this brief lull in the fighting to return | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
People are using this brief lull in homes. Many are finding them | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
completely flattened. They are picking up whatever they can and | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
heading to seek shelter and all the while there is the stench of dead | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
heading to seek shelter and all the bodies still trapped underneath the | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
rubble. But the ceasefire was over almost as | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
soon as it started. More Israeli air strikes and Palestinian rockets. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
And then from Rafah n the south of Gaza, the news that could see this | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
war escalate further. An Israeli soldier suspected to have been | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
captured by Hamas fighters after they crossed the border through a | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
tunnel. Hamas will see this as a huge result. It took more than five | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
years for Israel to free the last soldier captured in Gaza. | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Israel will undoubtedly respond with massive force. Gaza awaits with | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
trepidation. So, we saw there the streets were | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
busy, but people are hurrying home now that the news is spreading of | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
this captured Israeli soldier and I think there is a sense that tonight | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
in Gaza could be an extremely difficult one. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Thank you. Let's go to Jerusalem and speak to our correspondent who is | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
there. What is the Israeli Government saying this lunch time? | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Well, the Israeli army has said that the ceasefire is over. It's | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
concerned that one of its soldiers may have been captured by | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Palestinian militants in the south of the Gaza Strip. It says that its | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
soldiers were carrying out an operation to destroy one of the | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
cross border tunnels earlier this morning, an hour-and-a-half into | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
this humanitarian ceasefire when militants, Palestinian militants, | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
came up from one of the entrances of those tunnels and attacked them. It | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
said at least one of the militants was a suicide bomber who blew | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
himself up. There was an exchange of fire. Now it appears that one | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
soldier is missing. Now, the Israeli army has not commented on his | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
condition and it is not clear whether he's dead or alive. They say | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
they are conducting an extensive search to try and find him. One | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
senior Israeli official told the BBC that Hamas is responsible for | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
breaking the ceasefire and will pay a heavy price. It said Israel's | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
response will be crushing. This current conflict is the longest | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
between Israel and the Hamas militants and the premature collapse | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
of the ceasefire raises questions about the diplomatic efforts to find | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
a solution as our correspondent now reports. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
For a while today, time for Palestinians and Israelis to take | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
stock. The mounting costs of this confrontation, especially in lives, | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
and fears of further regional fallout are what have propelled | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
international efforts to try and bring a halt to the violence. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
There'll be urgent efforts now to re-establish what was the most | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
significant truce agreement in this crisis so far. The US Secretary of | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
State John Kerry pressed on with his diplomatic efforts, despite previous | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
setbacks. The UN, Egypt and Qatar have been | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
involved. The stakes and the emotions here have been huge | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
obstacles, with conflicting pressures on both sides. | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
For Israel's military, strong backing at home to press on with its | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
mission, but huge international pressure on the Government to hold | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
back. The day-to-day suffering of ordinary Palestinians in Gaza has | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
put pressure on Hamas, which also has fewer friends now in the Arab | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
world. Still, it has remained defiant and establishing a | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
humanitarian truce may have proved difficult enough. Agreeing a more | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
lasting ceasefire between the two sides will be more challenging. Both | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
sides say a simple quiet for quiet deal which has halted previous | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
conflicts is not enough. Talks on all this planned for Cairo | :08:35. | :08:48. | |
are already on hold. Getting them going at all now looks very | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
uncertain. Rolf Harris has applied for | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
permission to appeal against his convictions for a string of indecent | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
assaults. He was jailed for almost six years last month. Our | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
correspondent is here with me. Tell us more. | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Confirmation today that the lawyers representing Rolf Harris will appeal | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
against the convictions. Remember, almost one month ago, 12 convictions | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
against four women of indecent assault. The grounds for the | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
assault, we don't know at the moment. We will probably not find | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
that out until actually it goes before a judge and that will | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
probably not take place until the autumn. Of course, we have to | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
remember this comes a day after the Attorney General made a decision. He | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
announced there would not be a referral of the sentence to the | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Court of Appeal. There were 150 complaints about that sentence, | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
saying five year, nine months was too lenient. Thank you very much. | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
The plan to z to create 100,000 genetic profiles over the next four | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
years by mapping DNA from patients and some of their relatives. David | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
Cameron said the scheme would see the UK leading the world in genetic | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
research within years. Here is our correspondent. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Better understanding rather diseases and cancers is at -- rare diseases | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
and cancers is at the heart of this scheme. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
A genome contains a person's entire DNA. It is hoped the scheme will | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
unlock genetic secrets and help develop new treatments. It means we | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
can diagnose earlier and develop new treatments. We are seeing it already | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
in cancer. Herceptin is a wonder drug. The survival rate in breast | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
cancer has gone from 40% to over 95%. This revolution is changing | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
medicine. If you are looking for the inheritance... Edward has first-hand | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
experience of how little is known about genetics. Last year, his | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
11-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a unique genetic condition. | :11:10. | :11:19. | |
This He says getting a diagnosis has given them hope for the future. That | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
made all the difference to us as parents. We know it will not affect | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Isobel and her sister as well and it is genetic and not attributed to | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
anything as she grew up. Who will have their genes mapped? Around | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
40,000 NHS patients are expected to take part in centres across England. | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
They fall into two groups, those with cancer and those with rare | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
diseases. 100,000 genomes will be mapped from patients, their | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
relatives and cancer tumours. This microscope slide can hold the | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
complete genetic data of up to eight people. The information so vast it | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
takes the computer three days to process. It is an ambitious project | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
and scientists are warning it may be many years before this work | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
translates into new treatments. Let's speak to our health editor, | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
who is here. How significant is this push? Is are there any potential | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
fears? It is very significant for the UK, which will be right out | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
there in the advance on this sort of genetic research, compared with | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
other leading industrialised nations. This mapping of 100,000 | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
genomes is a very ambitious project. It used to take years to map just | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
one. It now takes a couple of days. They hope to complete it within four | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
years and that will open the door, potentially, to a number of | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
advances. The key here is the development of what is called | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
"personalised medicine." Instead of being told you have a cancer, you | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
will be told you have a variation of it and a particular drug, based on | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
your genetic map can be targeted at you and be used for your treatment. | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
That is the, if you like the holy Grail. This data will be stored away | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
with some of your conditions and your genetic code. Who will it be | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
made available to? It has been made clear it will not be passed on to | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
insurance companies or marketing companies. It will be made available | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
for credited medical research institutions. There are some | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
question marks over that. Thank you. | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
A team of 60 forensic experts, from the Netherlands and Australia, | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
have now reached the crash site of the Malaysian airliner which | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
They're hoping to recover some of the victims? remains | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
Their arrival comes amid reports of more fighting between Ukrainian | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
Government troops and pro-Russian separatists in the area. | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
Let's speak to our correspondent in Ukraine, Tom Burridge. | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
What can you tell us about this team and the work being done? Their first | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
priority will be to collect any of the of the remains of the victims, | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
that could be scattered in that large area. 21 Square Miles. It is a | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
significant moment. It is a much larger team than we saw yesterday | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
reaching the crash site. Possibly the largest that has been able to | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
get there since the airliner was blown up two weeks ago. Fighting has | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
continued several miles south of there, which is being shelled. The | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
Ukrainian military have lost some heavy losses. Ten of their troops | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
were killed. It is happening to the east all of that, from the city | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
Donetsk. The Ukrainian army has taken a lot of territory surrounding | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
that city. Taking the city itself will be much harder and could come | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
at a much higher cost. Thank you. | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
What can you tell us about this team and the work being done? Their first | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
priority will be to collect any of the of the remains of the victims, | :14:58. | :15:09. | |
It is thought five firefighters are among the dead. Our correspondent | :15:10. | :15:19. | |
has sent this report from Taiwan. The explosions occurred just before | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
midnight, sparking several fires. Seen from the air, the damage from | :15:27. | :15:37. | |
The blast tore up the streets in this densely populated | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
neighbourhood. From the ground, the destruction was also revealing. Many | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
vehicles were flipped over, including this fire engine, which | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
had responded to reports of a possible gas leak. Most of the | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
people killed or injured were on the streets at the time. Some had come | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
out because they spelled streets at the time. Some had come | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
odour. Others were simply passing through on their way home. | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
Many of the survivors were still in shock. The windows of their homes or | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
businesses were completely shattered. | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
This lady says, the explosion was so powerful it knocked her off her | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
chair. And this man said | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
chair. tried to clear the debris to try and | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
make way for ambulances and fire trucks but was told to leave because | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
it was unsafe. The cause of the explosions are under investigation. | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
The authorities suspect that what may have caused the blast is a | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
chemical leak from one of the many pipelines belonging to petrol | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
companies which run under these streets. | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
As the work was done to clear the streets hazardous material | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
specialists tried to detect for unsafe levels of chemicals. Many of | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
the residents are worried. With many pipelines believed to run under the | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
streets and some believed to be decades old, they fear more | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
explosions could occur. A three-day ceasefire in Gaza | :17:11. | :17:15. | |

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

Back To The Future fans were let down, we get to see | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
the performance they missed. It was described as the war to | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
end all wars, and it started one World War One lasted more than | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
four years and claimed over Our correspondent, Robert Hall, | :18:03. | :18:09. | |

Folkestone carries the names of those from this town and the | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
surrounding area who lost their lives in two world wars. But on | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
Monday, Folkestone will remember thousands of other soldiers who | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
simply passed through. It was a gathering point for British troops. | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
Long columns marched down this road during the four-year war, down the | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
road to the harbour, where the ships were waiting to carry them to the | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
battlefields of France and Belgium. In the station cafe on Folkestone | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
seafront, Gary Stanforth is reminding his customers that they | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
are walking a route into history. During the First World War, | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
Folkestone residents were swallowed Millions | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
of soldiers began their journey to the front here, arriving on foot or | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
by train, but all destined for the troop ships queueing to load | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
up for the trip across the Channel. The First World War was such | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
a bad war, where so many lives were lost, that we should remember the | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
First World War in such a big way. Along the old platforms, sea breezes | :19:19. | :19:25. | |

site was of the old cafe where the Jeffrey sisters and their helpers | :19:41. | :19:50. | |
served cups of tea to the soldiers. And we think we can reconstruct | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
that, and perhaps install More than 40,000 men | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
and women signed the cafe's visitor books, many as they sailed for war, | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
buoyed by pride and patriotism, others as they returned, wounded, | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
broken and dying. On the peaceful slopes outside | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
the sprawling military camp at Shorncliffe, | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
soldiers of the Great War lie among army brothers who fought and died in | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
campaigns spanning three centuries. This is | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
a classic British trench system. Chris Shaw leads a campaign to | :20:38. | :20:41. | |

arch now soars in remembrance. It frames a first view of France, | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
and a last glimpse Folkestone's focus on Monday will be | :21:17. | :21:33. | |

but there will be another more personal moment later in the day, | :21:38. | :21:38. | |
when but there will be another more | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
personal moment the local group this is hundreds of lanterns on the | :21:41. | :21:41. | |
graves of those men in the cemetery. A former army intelligence officer | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
is calling for a new inquiry into child sexual abuse at the Kincora | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
boys? home in Northern Ireland. Brian Gemmell says that | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
in the late ?70s, he was ordered by MI5 to stop investigating what was | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
happening at the home and believes there may have been a cover-up to | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
protect prominent people. Our Ireland Correspondent, | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
Chris Buckler, reports. It was set up as a place where | :22:04. | :22:15. | |
teenage boys could be cared for, but inside the home in Belfast, many | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
were abused. In the early 1980s, the scandal was made public and three | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
men including the well-known loyalist Jim McGrath were convicted | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
of a series of offences. But it is claimed that years before any police | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
enquiry, MI5 stopped an investigation into what was | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
happening at the home. In 1975, Brian Gemmill was gathering | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
information for the Army about loyalist. He prepared a report about | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
Kincora for a leading security service officer, based on claims, an | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
agent nine as well flush. He told me not just to stop any investigation | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
into Kincora and McGrath, but to drop it. After recent revelations | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
about scandals involving Jimmy Savile and others, there are many | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
who feel it is time to re-examine exactly what happened at Kincora. | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
Particularly as there are allegations that establishment | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
figures from Northern Ireland and Britain were involved in abuse here. | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
There are frightened people out there. They might be old, but they | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
can still be named and shamed. With claims of establishment links, there | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
are calls for Kincora to be included in a new, wide ranging historical | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
enquiry in us by Westminster. Paedophile groups in the 70s formed | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
as alliances for protection, if nothing else. It may be that some of | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
those links are very important when we think of why, for example, the | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
army and the police were not allowed to take action. In the streets | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
around what was a care home, Kincora is a word associated with shame and | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
scandal. A key question remains - how much is still secret? Chris | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
Butler, BBC News, Belfast. It's day nine of the | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and 20 gold medals are up | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
for grabs today across 10 sports. The home nations are hoping to build | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
on the successes of yesterday Our sports correspondent, | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Andy Swiss, is in Glasgow. Yes, another busy day in Glasgow. It | :24:12. | :24:21. | |
is also a busy day in Edinburgh, where the diving is taking place. | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
Later, we will see Tom Daley tried to defend his Commonwealth title in | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
the synchronised diving, but it has already been a successful morning | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
for England. Precision under pressure. For | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
England's act law and Chris Mears, it is the key to success. Stamping | :24:43. | :25:29. | |

Yes, it will be interesting to see what sort of reception Usain Bolt | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
gets tonight. It is another busy night. Seven finals, including the | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
women's 800 metres A piece of artwork painted by Banksy | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
on the wall of a house in Cheltenham The piece, depicting men | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
"snooping" on a phone box, appeared in April, three miles from | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
government listening post GCHQ. Earlier this week, | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
it was announced a deal was almost complete to keep "Spy Booth" | :26:55. | :26:56. | |
in the town , after campaigners Our correspondent Andrew Plant | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
reports. Cheltenham's Banksy, eavesdropping | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
on this telephone box. These undercover spies are now | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
covered up People here had been proud | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
of their Banksy and were angry this morning as news | :27:12. | :27:19. | |
of the new graffiti got round. I don't understand why | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
people have to do this. This was what it looked like | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
in April. A few weeks | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
after Spy Booth was painted, there was talk of selling it to a | :27:31. | :27:32. | |
collector, but a local businessman pledged hundreds of thousands | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
of pounds to save the piece. If this graffiti cannot be removed, | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
will you still buy it? Obviously, it is something that | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
the people in this town love, This is what people were hoping | :27:46. | :27:53. | |
might just save the Banksy. This is three layers of | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
anti-graffiti paint, and that is a If they are quick enough | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
and they use the right chemicals, they might be able to take | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
off the top layer of new graffiti This one in Bristol was hit | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
by blue paintballs. Some believe it is just part of | :28:11. | :28:18. | |
the life cycle of street graffiti. For others, though, | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
these Banksys are precious, Andrew Plant, BBC News, | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
in Cheltenham. time to look at the weather now. How | :28:25. | :28:40. | |
is it looking for the weekend? A bit more unsettled. Somebody has painted | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
over the sunshine with a cloud today. So it is the start of a | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
change we have been looking at all week. It will not be a wash-out this | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
weekend, but we already have distinctly more cloud across Wales | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
and western England. Some really heavy showers through Cornwall and | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
Wales and Lancashire, pouring it down. There are thunderstorms around | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
as well. For the rest of the day, it stays cloudy, with outbreaks of | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
showery rain across Western parts of England and Wales. Clearly a of | :29:12. | :29:20. | |
cloud for more than England and Wales the temperature down. Most of | :29:21. | :29:27. | |
the rain band, fewer heavy showers in Scotland and Northern Ireland, | :29:28. | :29:30. | |
but some rain for the start of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival today. | :29:31. | :29:34. | |
Hopefully, fewer showers for the Commonwealth Games today. But again, | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
I would not rule out a shower. As those showers fade away, that is at | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
the expense of this developing rain band that we have in watching. It is | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
a developing area of low pressure, so drenching rains are forecast | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
here. There is a Met Office warning for Wales and Northern Ireland for | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
Saturday. Was be some welcome rain for the gardens in East Anglia, but | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
the rain is not guaranteed here. It is more likely further west and | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
north. The strengthening wind blows some holes in the cloud for an | :30:15. | :30:19. | |
improving picture in the afternoon. Not bad in the north-west of | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
Scotland. But where the rain band is, with a strengthening wind, not | :30:23. | :30:31. | |
particularly pleasant. I can show you the low pressure. We are talking | :30:32. | :30:34. | |
about tales in Augusta Randy Irish Sea. -- in August around the Irish | :30:35. | :30:42. | |
Sea. Wet, cold and windy in the morning here. Slow improvements to | :30:43. | :30:48. | |
the day. Elsewhere, it looks like the drier day of the weekend for the | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
bulk of England. More showers in Northern Ireland. Hopefully by | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
Monday, bank holiday for Scotland, it looks vastly improved. Still a | :30:57. | :31:03. | |
few showers in the West. So yes, the weekend is a bit more unsettled than | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
it has been with that rain around, and there was unseasonably rainy | :31:07. | :31:08. | |
weather as well. But not a wash-out. Now a reminder | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
of our top story this lunchtime: A three-day ceasefire in Gaza | :31:15. | :31:16. | |
