:02:38. > :02:39.our correspondent Yolanda Knell who sent this report from Gaza.
:02:40. > :02:57.It contains some distressing images. Angry, distraught and beyond
:02:58. > :03:00.consolation. These women and their little children had fled the
:03:01. > :03:05.fighting near their homes in northern Gaza and taken shelter in a
:03:06. > :03:16.UN school. But it too was caught up in the bloody violence. The Israelis
:03:17. > :03:21.hit us in our homes and they hit us at the school, this woman cries.
:03:22. > :03:25.Israel says it is investigating and Hamas rockets could be to blame. The
:03:26. > :03:34.dead and wounded were brought here to the hospital. 100 are injured and
:03:35. > :03:40.many people are killed. They are children, young children and women.
:03:41. > :03:45.Then while we were filming... An Israeli tank shell explodes just
:03:46. > :03:51.outside the hospital gates. Once again there is panic. The front line
:03:52. > :03:56.of the conflict reaches even here. Nearby the Beit Hanoun School is
:03:57. > :04:01.deserted. As they ran away people left their belongings behind. There
:04:02. > :04:06.are blood stains everywhere here and pieces of shrapnel. This was
:04:07. > :04:12.supposed to be a place of safety, but nowhere in Gaza is saved. The
:04:13. > :04:18.school took a direct hit. This is how the same school looked when the
:04:19. > :04:23.BBC visited just a few days ago. It was full of families. Now it has
:04:24. > :04:31.become the fourth UN building to be fired upon in four days. That was a
:04:32. > :04:36.designated emergency shelter. We had transferred patients here on 12
:04:37. > :04:42.occasions, last time at 10:56am this morning. It is outrageous and
:04:43. > :04:45.shocking, it was well known. Survivors of the school explosion
:04:46. > :04:51.now find themselves displaced yet again. We find many here in a
:04:52. > :04:55.corridor at the Beit Hanoun hospital and they are just a small fraction
:04:56. > :05:01.of the tens of thousands left homeless by the ongoing conflict.
:05:02. > :05:03.It contains some distressing images. The UK Foreign Secretary,
:05:04. > :05:06.Philip Hammond, who is in Egypt trying to help in the effort to find
:05:07. > :05:09.a peace plan, called on Hamas to agree to a humanitarian
:05:10. > :05:11.cease-fire without preconditions. The Israeli Prime Minister accused
:05:12. > :05:14.Hamas of using Palestinians as human shields something Hamas has
:05:15. > :05:15.again denied today. Here is our diplomatic
:05:16. > :05:26.correspondent James Robbins. As Israeli troops continued their
:05:27. > :05:31.assault inside Gaza, Israel's Government insists it is legitimate
:05:32. > :05:35.to hunt down Hamas on the ground and destroyed their rockets. But the
:05:36. > :05:39.number of civilian casualties is piling international pressure on
:05:40. > :05:44.Israel to stop all this. Hamas is only looking for a temporary
:05:45. > :05:46.cease-fire. Its leaders has Hamas will go back to attacking Israel
:05:47. > :05:53.unless all its grievances are addressed. TRANSLATION: In this
:05:54. > :05:58.battle between us and Israel they ID executioners, the occupiers, the
:05:59. > :06:04.settlers, and we are the true owners of the land. Israel rejects that and
:06:05. > :06:07.international criticism of its actions, particularly the UN human
:06:08. > :06:13.rights chief suggesting it may have committed war crimes. It is a
:06:14. > :06:23.travesty, it is a travesty of fairness, it is a travesty of common
:06:24. > :06:26.sense and truth. I think that it will not prevent us from continuing
:06:27. > :06:31.to act to protect dashed defend our people. What are the main obstacles
:06:32. > :06:36.to peace? Either a cease-fire or something more permanent? On the
:06:37. > :06:41.Hamas side the leadership demands an end to Israel's blockade of the
:06:42. > :06:46.territory. Gaza is sealed off at sea and over land, including by Egypt,
:06:47. > :06:51.increasingly hostile to Hamas. Israel says the blockade is vital to
:06:52. > :06:56.stop Hamas getting materials to build new weapons. But a fundamental
:06:57. > :07:06.obstacle is Hamas refuses to recognise Israel's right to says it
:07:07. > :07:08.wants to destroy Hamas' entire rocket arsenal. Israel called Hamas
:07:09. > :07:12.a terrorist organisation, not an elected Government, and does not
:07:13. > :07:18.accept negotiations involving Hamas will ever deliver a long-term
:07:19. > :07:22.peace. It is clear Israel is under growing pressure. Tonight the
:07:23. > :07:27.Foreign Secretary seemed to turn up the heat. Israel has a right to
:07:28. > :07:31.defend itself, but it also has an obligation to act in accordance with
:07:32. > :07:38.international, humanitarian law, as indeed does Hamas. The targeting of
:07:39. > :07:43.civilians is not permitted, of course. But another source of
:07:44. > :07:47.pressure on Israel is using as airlines gradually restore flights
:07:48. > :07:52.to Tel Aviv after cancelling them in response to the risk from Hamas
:07:53. > :07:55.rockets. International efforts to stop the fighting continued, but a
:07:56. > :07:59.long-term peace looks further away than ever.

:08:02. > :08:04.the remains of victims of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 has
:08:05. > :08:06.landed in the Netherlands. The Australian and Dutch

:08:22. > :08:25.A BBC team visiting the site this morning found the scene deserted
:08:26. > :08:33.with no sign of any investigators. Fergal Keane reports.
:08:34. > :08:41.Only the sounds of the morning. When we arrived there were no guards, no
:08:42. > :08:50.workers, the wreckage still spread for miles, the smell of human
:08:51. > :08:59.remains. These left behind by emergency workers, civilian
:09:00. > :09:06.volunteers and the militia. A place open to any who pass by. For all the
:09:07. > :09:10.outrage expressed by the international community, it has
:09:11. > :09:15.seemed powerless to ensure that this site is properly protected, or that
:09:16. > :09:20.due respect is shown to the remains of the dead. With the war escalating
:09:21. > :09:27.it becomes ever more difficult to ensure that there is a credible
:09:28. > :09:31.investigation. Australia has offered to send police to protect
:09:32. > :09:35.investigators who are waiting in government-held territory. And then
:09:36. > :09:42.at mid-morning a site so familiar in war zones, those who cross any front

:09:48. > :09:54.a clear mission. Our role is to ensure the dignity of the dead and
:09:55. > :10:05.the dignified management of the dead and the rights of the families. But
:10:06. > :10:09.fighting is still going on nearby. Just 35 kilometres away rebels used
:10:10. > :10:15.missiles to bring down Ukrainian air force jets yesterday. All talk of
:10:16. > :10:21.investigations and recovery effort must be seen against a backdrop of
:10:22. > :10:38.growing fear. A major challenge for European observers who have been the
:10:39. > :10:43.most frequent visitors to the crash site. Is anybody in control? I
:10:44. > :10:44.cannot comment. It speaks for itself. In the capital done, where
:10:45. > :10:45.European observers are based, people continue to lead. They are looking
:10:46. > :10:52.for help from rebel officials to escape the fighting. We heard a
:10:53. > :10:56.whistling noise and then somebody said get down, get down, Olga told

:13:32. > :13:37.She was just 17 years old, but Jayden Parkinson would die at the
:13:38. > :13:43.hands of her violent former boyfriend. That man was 22-year-old
:13:44. > :13:49.Ben Blakeley, who had a history of abusing his girlfriends. The tragic
:13:50. > :13:52.story unfolded on CCTV last September. They were first seen at
:13:53. > :13:58.Oxford station, then at Didcot, apparently heading to a place to
:13:59. > :14:02.discuss the news she was pregnant. Later that night Blakeley returned
:14:03. > :14:07.alone having killed her. Two days later he returned to bury
:14:08. > :14:13.her. But three days after that he returned again, dug up her body, put
:14:14. > :14:18.her in a suitcase and took a taxi to a nearby graveyard. He hauled the
:14:19. > :14:23.suitcase into this churchyard where he re-buried her in the grave of his
:14:24. > :14:28.uncle. Please say this was the first time in living memory that an
:14:29. > :14:32.existing grave was being used to hide a body. After the burial
:14:33. > :14:35.cameras capture him yet again, this time coverage in the mud of Jayden
:14:36. > :14:40.cameras capture him yet again, this time coverage Parkinson's blood. We
:14:41. > :14:45.thought we had seen all and could not been shocked or surprised, but
:14:46. > :14:50.we were just as surprised and shocked when her body was found in
:14:51. > :14:54.that grave. Tonight her mother left court with her family and friends
:14:55. > :14:59.relieved that the guilty murder verdict. It is good that she has got
:15:00. > :15:04.justice and the family could not be more happier. Ben Blakeley will be
:15:05. > :15:15.sentenced tomorrow. His plan to hide Jayden Parkinson on sacred ground
:15:16. > :15:22.was literally on earth. And The time is 6:15pm. A shelter has been hit in

:16:00. > :16:03.our waste and are accusing the government of lacking vision. Last
:16:04. > :16:09.year 39 million tonnes went into landfill sites in the UK, enough to
:16:10. > :16:14.fill over 300 Olympic sized swimming pools per week. A committee of MPs
:16:15. > :16:16.has called for tax allowances on recycled products, extended
:16:17. > :16:20.warranties on electrical goods and a ban on food waste going into
:16:21. > :16:26.landfill. Claire Marshall has been looking at the options. A great deal
:16:27. > :16:30.of what we throw away is useful and valuable. In effect we are burying
:16:31. > :16:35.money, but it doesn't have to be this way. Food, for example. Live in
:16:36. > :16:40.North London and you can throw a half eaten apple in a compost bin,
:16:41. > :16:44.it is collected and taken away to a processing site. Then it is treated,
:16:45. > :16:50.turned into high-quality compost and now it can help a tree with all its
:16:51. > :16:55.valuable apples, to grow. But in England only a quarter of councils
:16:56. > :16:59.provide this service. The urgent message being given by MPs today is
:17:00. > :17:04.that we need to learn how to reuse resources. It's about waste
:17:05. > :17:09.altogether. And it is really moving away from the throw away a society
:17:10. > :17:14.that so many of us have been brought up in and got used to. But how? Each
:17:15. > :17:19.local authority does recycling differently. Not even the bins are
:17:20. > :17:23.the same. More is spent managing waste than on housing or planning
:17:24. > :17:28.but the UK is set to miss European targets. If you take a posse bottle
:17:29. > :17:31.to recycle you don't know which bin to put it in and these are obvious
:17:32. > :17:35.problems we could sort out today and if we did that and delivered that
:17:36. > :17:39.plastic wattle or whatever to a reprocessing factory we could
:17:40. > :17:43.capture the value in it. Look at the value here, this had all been thrown
:17:44. > :17:47.out. Technology is endlessly evolving and we all want the latest
:17:48. > :17:51.and the best and the old stuff we just throw it away. When actually,
:17:52. > :17:57.all it needs, like most things here, is to be taken off the shelf,
:17:58. > :18:02.powered up and then turned on. A computer being repaired, now a rare
:18:03. > :18:06.sight. Today's report says companies like this should be rewarded with
:18:07. > :18:10.tax breaks. If we can grow what we are doing it would be massive.
:18:11. > :18:14.Obviously we are here to make money as well because we are a business,
:18:15. > :18:17.from the sustainability point of view and the environmental impact if
:18:18. > :18:21.we could grow what we are doing and have more of an impact and just in
:18:22. > :18:26.London that would be hugely beneficial for the environment. More
:18:27. > :18:28.valuable rubbish arrives. The government says it is investing in
:18:29. > :18:36.this area and will respond to the committee in due course. Every put

:19:32. > :19:35.His case provoked a massive campaign involving some of his relatives in

:19:57. > :20:00.forces did not in portrait the Justice for gene, or any other
:20:01. > :20:03.family campaign group, but officers who were working undercover in

:20:17. > :20:20.information and retained it but it was never passed out of special
:20:21. > :20:24.Branch. It wasn't used to protect, it was used as gathering because we

:21:22. > :21:23.After last year's storms more than 1 million people were left without
:21:24. > :21:27.power and many customers were frustrated at the length of time it
:21:28. > :21:30.took to get reconnected and for the level of compensation they received.

:21:42. > :21:44.After the excitement of last night's opening ceremony of the
:21:45. > :21:47.Commonwealth Games in Glasgow the first medals have been won but there
:21:48. > :21:50.has been disappointment with the news Mo Farah has pulled out of the
:21:51. > :21:57.competition. Let's go live to Glasgow for the latest with Sophie
:21:58. > :22:01.at the Tollcross centre. There are high hopes for Scotland's
:22:02. > :22:05.swimmers. The poster boy of the games Michael Jamieson won silver at
:22:06. > :22:08.the Olympics and can he add a commonwealth gold? Hannah Miley is
:22:09. > :22:12.on top form breaking her own Commonwealth record in the heats
:22:13. > :22:15.this morning. Meanwhile, the first gold-medal of the games went to
:22:16. > :22:18.England's Jodie Stimpson in the women's triathlon and there was a
:22:19. > :22:22.thrilling and rather cool finish from the Brownlee brothers in the
:22:23. > :22:28.men's event as Natalie Pirks reports. Day one, official
:22:29. > :22:31.programming! This weather has shocked even the locals but it is
:22:32. > :22:35.showing no signs of letting up. Sport plus sunshine equals a happy
:22:36. > :22:42.crowd. But would the Brownlee brothers be as content with this
:22:43. > :22:45.challenging course? Two laps around the loch and all was calm, with the
:22:46. > :22:49.Spanish world champion missing there was no surprises who were the
:22:50. > :22:53.red-hot favourites. The Brownlees dominated the podium in London, but
:22:54. > :22:56.it is younger brother Jonny Brownlee who leads the rankings in this
:22:57. > :23:01.field. As expected, though, it is those two who are right in the mix
:23:02. > :23:05.at the first transition. But Scotland's Mark Austin was not
:23:06. > :23:09.letting them out of his sight. The 20-year-old revelling in the home
:23:10. > :23:11.crowd's cheers. The Brownlees proved too strong at not a good separate
:23:12. > :23:15.them as they came through final transition. At the family
:23:16. > :23:20.pleasantries soon stopped and the race broke out. It was Alistair,
:23:21. > :23:24.though, who opened up the lead on Johnny so big that he could afford
:23:25. > :23:28.to take his time and savouring the moment when Commonwealth gold was
:23:29. > :23:31.added to his long list of titles. This is the gold I wanted to achieve
:23:32. > :23:35.this season and I've done it now so that is what I wanted to do really.
:23:36. > :23:41.Now I've done everything I wanted to do so I don't know what to do, might
:23:42. > :23:45.as well retire! Earlier the first gold of the games was up for grabs
:23:46. > :23:48.in the women's race. After a cagey bike section England's Jodie
:23:49. > :23:52.Stimpson muscled her way into the lead and the others could not quite
:23:53. > :23:57.match her pace. Her compatriot the Tory Holland took bronze. The smiles
:23:58. > :24:04.of spectators and athletes as wide as the loch they swam in. --
:24:05. > :24:06.Victoria Holland. In the last half-hour Sir Bradley
:24:07. > :24:10.Wiggins of England and his team-mates were beaten in the
:24:11. > :24:13.cycling pursuit final losing gold to the favourites Australia. From the
:24:14. > :24:19.Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome Andy Swiss reports. He's been here many times
:24:20. > :24:24.before. He is the man who simply has it all, Olympic titles, world
:24:25. > :24:27.titles, but Sir Bradley Wiggins had never won Commonwealth gold. Was
:24:28. > :24:32.that about a change? For the first time in six years Wiggins was back
:24:33. > :24:35.on the track in the team pursuit. He inspired England to the final but
:24:36. > :24:40.against world champions Australia they were always underdogs, and this
:24:41. > :24:44.time not even Ben Knight Rider could rescue them as Australia charged to
:24:45. > :24:49.an emphatic victory. Not quite the fairy tale return for Sir Bradley
:24:50. > :24:53.Wiggins. Another Commonwealth silver to add to his collection, but once
:24:54. > :24:57.again he has missed out on gold. Hannah Mears is flying! Earlier
:24:58. > :25:00.there had been more joy for Australia, one of their biggest
:25:01. > :25:06.stars anomie is taking gold in the time trial. Anna Meares wins gold
:25:07. > :25:12.for Australia! With England's Jess Varnish taking bronze. Being pushed
:25:13. > :25:15.and is half a lap away. The first ever Commonwealth para- cycling
:25:16. > :25:22.event produced a Scotland versus England event, Sophie Thorn him and
:25:23. > :25:28.her team-mate edging out the Scots. It was a very happy one for them. --
:25:29. > :25:33.Sophie Thornhill. In the last few minutes we have had another of the
:25:34. > :25:39.big finals, the men's team sprint. England versus New Zealand in the
:25:40. > :25:43.final. It was a thrilling finish but New Zealand held on to win the gold.
:25:44. > :25:50.They were the favourites. England had to settle for silver. So a
:25:51. > :25:53.frustrating day for that team, and indeed for Sir Bradley Wiggins. But
:25:54. > :25:58.a very eventful day here at the velodrome.
:25:59. > :26:03.There was also huge disappointment in Glasgow today when the Olympic
:26:04. > :26:06.star Mo Farah announced he has withdrawn from the Games after
:26:07. > :26:10.failing to recover from a recent illness. He was supposed to run in
:26:11. > :26:15.the 5000 and 10,000 metres but will now concentrate on being fully fit
:26:16. > :26:19.for next month's European Championships. Tonight the focus is
:26:20. > :26:23.on the poster boy of the games, Scotland's Michael Jameson who will
:26:24. > :26:28.be competing here at 9pm this evening. Hannah Miley of Scotland is
:26:29. > :26:32.also going to be in action just after 7pm. There is huge pressure on
:26:33. > :26:36.both of those two in front of the home crowd. The support they have
:26:37. > :26:39.been getting in today's heats has been incredible. You can watch it
:26:40. > :26:44.all on the BBC with Clare balding who will be here from 7pm. But right
:26:45. > :26:47.now let's have a look at the latest weather with Darren Bett who can
:26:48. > :26:48.tell us all about it. It's been another incredibly hot day in
:26:49. > :26:57.Glasgow. It looked really hot for the
:26:58. > :27:01.triathlon. The pool was the place to be. Temperatures up to 27 degrees in
:27:02. > :27:05.Glasgow and 30 in Dorset. We have since and storms in Northern Ireland
:27:06. > :27:08.and Devon and Cornwall and there has been some flooding in Bude. The
:27:09. > :27:12.storms and rain will continue over the next few hours and fade away and
:27:13. > :27:16.it will be dry overnight. We will see low cloud coming back through
:27:17. > :27:23.the central belt into the Moray Firth and into the eastern side. Not
:27:24. > :27:27.great weather for sleeping. But how will retreat to the coast. More low
:27:28. > :27:31.cloud and we have had today, otherwise lots of sunshine, the heat
:27:32. > :27:35.triggering some showers in the south-east mainly, possibly dry in
:27:36. > :27:39.the south-west of England this time. Heavy and potentially thundery
:27:40. > :27:43.downpours in the afternoon sliding their way towards the London area
:27:44. > :27:49.and West as well. Another hot day through the Midlands and Wales. High
:27:50. > :27:51.temperatures away from the North Sea coasts. The last of the hot days I
:27:52. > :27:55.suspect for Northern Ireland and Scotland. It's going to be very worn
:27:56. > :27:58.indeed for the bowls and rugby sevens. But a different story along
:27:59. > :28:02.the coast in Carnoustie where we have the shooting medals in the
:28:03. > :28:07.afternoon but the money could be rather grey, misty and murky as well
:28:08. > :28:10.but obviously a lot cooler as well. Similar story heading into Saturday
:28:11. > :28:14.but again a bit of a grey and misty start. Still the warmth for England
:28:15. > :28:19.and Wales and maybe one or two showers later on but there are some
:28:20. > :28:21.signs of change coming to Scotland and Northern Ireland with
:28:22. > :28:24.temperatures slipping away as the showers moved in. The showers will
:28:25. > :28:29.move further south on Sunday with more cloud and longer spells of more
:28:30. > :28:32.rain for Scotland. But we getting north-westerly breeze this time
:28:33. > :28:34.which will have a major impact on the temperatures compared with
:28:35. > :28:40.today. Scotland and Northern Ireland will be 10 degrees cooler a bit
:28:41. > :28:44.cooler for England and Wales but still 25 in the south-east but not
:28:45. > :28:49.as hot as it is right now. A reminder of the main story:
:28:50. > :28:55.15 people have been killed and up to 200 wounded after a UN run school
:28:56. > :28:59.has been hit by a missile in northern Gaza. That's all from the
:29:00. > :29:00.BBC News at Six. It
