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.

Quad rup lets, born on the eve of a supposed ceasefire.

:03:07.:03:19.

Combined weight, seven kilos. Chair xused mother -- their

:03:20.:03:23.

ex-husted mother tells me she went through five years of IVF.

:03:24.:03:28.

ex-husted mother tells me she went she has happy news. We hope their

:03:29.:03:34.

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

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.

Long columns marched down this road during the four-year war, down the

:21:53.:21:54.

in the late ?70s, he was ordered by MI5 to stop investigating what was

happening at the home and believes there may have been a cover-up to

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

information for the Army about loyalist. He prepared a report about

who feel it is time to re-examine exactly what happened at Kincora.

There are frightened people out there. They might be old, but they

is it looking for the weekend? A bit more unsettled. Somebody has painted

weekend, but we already have distinctly more cloud across Wales

and western England. Some really heavy showers through Cornwall and

Wales and Lancashire, pouring it down. There are thunderstorms around
