:00:23. > :00:25.of intense bombardment by Israel. The shelling has continued this

:00:26. > :00:28.afternoon, after 60 airstrikes overnight, with Israel targeting

:00:29. > :00:30.sites linked to Hamas. Gaza's only power plant goes up

:00:31. > :00:38.in flames in the bombing. Israel says it is hitting a number

:00:39. > :00:42.of what it calls terrorist targets, this is Hamas infrastructure.

:00:43. > :00:45.in flames in the bombing. We'll be looking

:00:46. > :00:48.at why a solution to the conflict is proving so difficult. Also tonight:

:01:47. > :01:52.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:53. > :01:55.More than 100 Palestinians are said to have been killed

:01:56. > :02:00.in Israeli air strikes on Gaza, after one of the bloodiest days

:02:01. > :02:02.of the conflict so far. Israel carried out 60 air strikes

:02:03. > :02:05.overnight, targeting sites associated with

:02:06. > :02:08.Hamas - the Islamist group which controls Gaza - and its bombardment

:02:09. > :02:12.continued this afternoon. A number of members of the UN Relief

:02:13. > :02:15.and Works Agency were also among the dead.

:02:16. > :02:21.Since the current conflict began, 1,156 Palestinians have been killed.

:02:22. > :02:24.55 Israelis have been killed, most of them soldiers.

:02:25. > :02:29.Israel's Prime Minister has warned that the conflict will continue as

:02:30. > :02:32.long as Hamas threatens his country. In a moment we'll have

:02:33. > :02:34.the latest from Jerusalem, but first this report from our correspondent

:02:35. > :02:51.Ian Pannell, who is in Gaza. Gaza trembled with the fury of war

:02:52. > :03:03.last night. Israel warned it would act aggressively. It did. People

:03:04. > :03:10.were forced from their homes. Out into a city with few safe places to

:03:11. > :03:16.hide. Israel wants to into a city with few safe places to

:03:17. > :03:22.anyway it can, which includes hitting Gaza's only power station.

:03:23. > :03:35.Adding to the misery of those who lived here. Through the night and

:03:36. > :03:42.into the day. Across large parts of the Gaza strip, the bombing is

:03:43. > :03:48.relentless. It is still early in the morning in Gaza, there were a large

:03:49. > :03:53.number of attacks overnight and they are continuing throughout the day.

:03:54. > :03:59.Israel says it is hitting a number of what it calls terrorist targets,

:04:00. > :04:03.this is Hamas infrastructure. They belong to the militants but as we

:04:04. > :04:10.have already seen civilians are increasingly being caught in the

:04:11. > :04:20.crossfire. The front line edges ever closer, as whole neighbourhood is

:04:21. > :04:28.empty. Today, one more family fled. Tens of thousands of people have

:04:29. > :04:34.already been forced from their home. Others have been buried beneath

:04:35. > :04:40.them. Neighbours and family scramble to rescue the injured and the dead.

:04:41. > :04:46.More than 100 people were killed last night, people have suffered and

:04:47. > :04:58.they have grieved and so far it has brought them nothing, not even

:04:59. > :05:04.funerals here are sacred. Neither are mosques. Israel says they have

:05:05. > :05:10.been used to hide weapons, but if this is supposed to weaken people 's

:05:11. > :05:16.resolve, it doesn't. We have been in blockade for the last seven years,

:05:17. > :05:21.we have been deprived all this for the last seven years, don't talk to

:05:22. > :05:28.me about rockets that are so tiny, small. Look at this, look at this.

:05:29. > :05:34.Entire areas of Gaza are being obliterated, both sides are under

:05:35. > :05:45.pressure to talk. Rumours swirl of possible deals. All the while, the

:05:46. > :05:52.conflict grows. 500 more people sought shelter at this school last

:05:53. > :06:03.night. It already houses thousands. One of them was born at 5am today.

:06:04. > :06:17.Ibrahim. His new home is a classroom he and his mother share with 80

:06:18. > :06:25.others. After eight years waiting for him to come, she says, we are

:06:26. > :06:29.now living here, in the school. The more they lose, the more they are

:06:30. > :06:34.determined it should be for a reason.

:06:35. > :06:35.Ian Pannell, who is in Gaza. We can speak to our correspondent

:06:36. > :06:46.Jon Donnison in Jerusalem now. Israel warned today of a long

:06:47. > :06:53.campaign ahead, today felt like it ratcheted up. That's right, it is

:06:54. > :06:58.Sturt and the ramping up, not down, and the Israeli government are

:06:59. > :07:04.saying they are increasing pressure on Hamas everyday and they are

:07:05. > :07:10.continuing to focus in particular on its tunnel network. We had news this

:07:11. > :07:15.evening from the Israeli military that a group of Hamas fighters had

:07:16. > :07:19.crossed through a tunnel into Israel before opening fire. They were

:07:20. > :07:26.apparently killed. We have the funerals of ten Israeli soldiers

:07:27. > :07:32.killed yesterday, bringing the total number to 53, and really the

:07:33. > :07:37.Government has overwhelming support to continue its operation. There is

:07:38. > :07:42.actually a rally happening in Tel Aviv this evening, calling for the

:07:43. > :07:49.Government as they put it to finish the job, and it will be interesting

:07:50. > :07:55.to see how many people turn out. We had a peace rally at the weekend, it

:07:56. > :07:57.got just a few thousand, and any sort of truce that will last seems

:07:58. > :08:03.very remote. Jon Donnison in Jerusalem now.

:08:04. > :08:09.International efforts to persuade both sides to accept a ceasefire, or

:08:10. > :08:14.at least a pause in the fighting, are still going on, after the

:08:15. > :08:17.breakdown of several previous truces. But stopping the fighting is

:08:18. > :08:19.proving very difficult. To explain why, here's our Diplomatic

:08:20. > :08:23.Correspondent, James Robbins. Why is it so difficult? Several

:08:24. > :08:28.reasons but particularly the depth of the mistrust between Israel and

:08:29. > :08:33.Hamas, which controls Gaza. They have conflicting aims in this as you

:08:34. > :08:39.might expect. For Israel the overwhelming priority is to disarm

:08:40. > :08:43.Hamas, to destroy its rocket arsenal and its tunnel network which allows

:08:44. > :08:48.Hamas militants to get underground into Israel to launch attacks. On

:08:49. > :08:53.the Hamas side the overwhelming priority is to extract from Israel a

:08:54. > :08:57.commitment to lift this is a commitment to lift this 80 year

:08:58. > :09:02.blockade, and to extract that concession before a cease-fire, not

:09:03. > :09:08.after, because Hamas is suspicious it will not be delivered otherwise.

:09:09. > :09:15.There is also mistrust tween Israel and of course its leading ally, the

:09:16. > :09:19.United States. A lot of bad blood between Benjamin Netanyahu and

:09:20. > :09:26.President Obama and John Kerry. Today John Kerry has been trying to

:09:27. > :09:30.repair some of that, to try to suggest that actually Israel really

:09:31. > :09:32.wants a cease-fire but on whose terms? It has proved very difficult

:09:33. > :09:43.to break through this. Correspondent, James Robbins.

:09:44. > :09:46.There are to be new curbs on the length of time EU migrants

:09:47. > :09:49.can claim unemployment benefits. From November, EU nationals will be

:09:50. > :09:52.able to claim jobseeker?s allowance for three months instead

:09:53. > :09:55.of the present six, unless they have the realistic prospect of a job.

:09:56. > :09:58.David Cameron said he wanted a fairer system that put Britain

:09:59. > :09:58.first, but Labour urged less talk and more action.

:09:59. > :10:07.Here's our Home Editor, Mark Easton. Tough talking on immigration goes

:10:08. > :10:13.down well on streets like these in Kent, evidence for benefit tourism

:10:14. > :10:18.and what the Prime Minister has called the magnetic pull of the

:10:19. > :10:25.welfare system is weak but public concern about is not. They should

:10:26. > :10:32.not be allowed to just walk into our country. It is making it harder to

:10:33. > :10:37.find work. It is frustrating when you are out shopping and you cannot

:10:38. > :10:41.afford to fill up your trolley and behave you -- behind you, you have

:10:42. > :10:46.foreigners with tokens for their food getting benefits. It is unfair

:10:47. > :10:50.to other people. This morning cameras were invited to record a

:10:51. > :10:55.Home Office raid on suspected illegal immigrants in Slough. Later

:10:56. > :10:58.the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary posed in the flat to

:10:59. > :11:03.announce new benefit restrictions that would affect EU migrants. Our

:11:04. > :11:08.changes today will save the British taxpayer half ?1 billion over the

:11:09. > :11:14.next five years. Later Downing Street clarified that Mr Cameron was

:11:15. > :11:19.referring to savings from existing policies. In January the Government

:11:20. > :11:24.announced EU migrants would not be able to claim out of work benefits

:11:25. > :11:28.until three months after arriving in the UK. Today they limited the

:11:29. > :11:38.amount of time they can claim job-seeker's allowance to three

:11:39. > :11:45.months. All of the evidence is that on its own it will not make a great

:11:46. > :11:51.deal of difference. When we asked the Government how many people would

:11:52. > :11:56.be affected by this new policy, they said we don't No, there are no

:11:57. > :12:00.figures apparently. This legislation probably has less to do with

:12:01. > :12:05.economic threat from benefit tourism than the political threat from UKIP.

:12:06. > :12:08.UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who it's rumoured may stand in Thanet in the

:12:09. > :12:12.next general election, has successfully tapped into concerns of

:12:13. > :12:17.voters of the effect immigrants have had on the British economy. The

:12:18. > :12:21.European Commission said it found the latest proposals from the

:12:22. > :12:26.Government difficult to comprehend. In the vast majority of cases

:12:27. > :12:31.workers from other member states are net contributors to the welfare

:12:32. > :12:36.systems of the host country because they pay more in tax and social

:12:37. > :12:40.security than they receive in benefits. With the economy

:12:41. > :12:43.improving, expect more announcements on the subject in the nine months

:12:44. > :12:51.until the next election. Here's our Home Editor, Mark Easton.

:12:52. > :12:54.The families of some of the Britons that died in the Malaysia Airlines

:12:55. > :12:58.crash in eastern Ukraine have met David Cameron in Downing Street.

:12:59. > :13:01.Amongst them were the parents of Liam Sweeney, the Newcastle

:13:02. > :13:05.United fan who was travelling with his friend John Alder to see

:13:06. > :13:08.the club's pre-season tour when the plane was shot down over Ukraine.

:13:09. > :13:11.Mr and Mrs Sweeney told of their struggle to cope with

:13:12. > :13:30.the lack of information coming from the investigation.

:13:31. > :13:35.I feel very angry, frustrated. It would be nice

:13:36. > :13:41.if they could just stop fighting for a little while so we could get

:13:42. > :13:43.all the boys and girls home. This afternoon,

:13:44. > :13:46.tough new sanctions targeting Russia's economy have been announced

:13:47. > :13:50.by the EU over Russia's support for the separatists in east Ukraine

:13:51. > :13:55.who've been blamed for shooting down the Malaysian Airlines plane.

:13:56. > :13:56.Let's talk now to our Europe Editor, Gavin Hewitt.

:13:57. > :14:00.After seven hours of talks, EU ambassadors agreed on the toughest

:14:01. > :14:06.sanctions so far, economic sanctions will take place almost immediately.

:14:07. > :14:11.There will be an embargo on future arms sales, restrictions on the

:14:12. > :14:14.export of sensitive technologies for the energy sectors and also

:14:15. > :14:19.restrictions on the Russian state banks being able to access European

:14:20. > :14:25.financial markets. Also further names have been added to the list of

:14:26. > :14:31.those subject to these bands and also asset freezes, a further eight

:14:32. > :14:38.names. We understand that probably four of them are close to Vladimir

:14:39. > :14:43.Putin's inner circle. It has been difficult for the EU to reach this

:14:44. > :14:49.stage and probably the sanctions are as tough as they could have agreed

:14:50. > :14:55.to. What has made the difference is the shooting down of the Malaysian

:14:56. > :15:01.airlines plane, which has hardened attitudes. What do they hope to get

:15:02. > :15:05.out of these sanctions? They want President Putin to stop supporting

:15:06. > :15:09.those rebels in the east of Ukraine, but the EU ambassadors here today

:15:10. > :15:11.well understood that there will be a price to be paid for this in terms

:15:12. > :15:20.of the economy. Our top story this evening:

:15:21. > :15:22.More than 100 Palestinians are reported to have died in Gaza

:15:23. > :15:24.after 24-hours of intense bombardment by Israel.

:15:25. > :15:26.Still to come: Diesel drivers face higher

:15:27. > :15:32.charges under new efforts to tackle air pollution.

:15:33. > :15:34.Later on BBC London: The latest from the

:15:35. > :15:40.Commonwealth Games, including a gold medal for gymnast Max Whitlock.

:15:41. > :15:40.And, the work of the children's author, Jacqueline Wilson, is

:15:41. > :15:57.brought to life on the London stage. It's peak season for Britain's

:15:58. > :16:01.holiday resorts, but as crowds head to the seaside there's a warning

:16:02. > :16:08.about the pace at which some of the country's beaches are disappearing.

:16:09. > :16:14.Along the east coast, up to half a mile of land is being lost every 50

:16:15. > :16:17.years because of coastal erosion. The problem's been made worse

:16:18. > :16:20.by this winter's storms, which caused more than ?18 million

:16:21. > :16:24.worth of damage along the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts.

:16:25. > :16:28.Sian Lloyd has this report. On the beaches of the sandy

:16:29. > :16:32.East Anglian coast, defences against the wind and waves have almost

:16:33. > :16:38.become part of the furniture. But this is the last frontier,

:16:39. > :16:40.the sand dunes in Hemsby in Norfolk are disappearing and, with them,

:16:41. > :16:45.people's homes. All that remains are

:16:46. > :16:53.the foundations, a reminder of the winter's storms.

:16:54. > :16:57.The resort was battered by the biggest tidal surge in 60 years.

:16:58. > :17:00.There was nothing people could do to save their properties.

:17:01. > :17:03.We need coastal protection here to keep our beach safe.

:17:04. > :17:06.If we don't have protection, then why are people going to come

:17:07. > :17:10.to Hemsby? We need a beach.

:17:11. > :17:16.The community has built these make-shift defences,

:17:17. > :17:19.but they're only a quick fix. Resorts are competing for funding

:17:20. > :17:22.for sea defences, the cost of this scheme, a few miles away in

:17:23. > :17:26.Great Yarmouth, exceeds ?7 million. The owners of the caravan park

:17:27. > :17:29.under threat are footing the bill. Over the next three to four years

:17:30. > :17:34.we'd have probably lost 130 pitches off the seafront, in the second row.

:17:35. > :17:37.And, what it would have meant for our business is confidence

:17:38. > :17:38.in our products would obviously have gone down.

:17:39. > :17:41.Our owner base would have deteriorated, which would make

:17:42. > :17:45.our long-term sustainability as a business in doubt.

:17:46. > :17:49.Further down the coast, in Covehithe, this church has stood

:17:50. > :17:53.here for hundreds of years, but experts say if erosion takes

:17:54. > :17:56.place at the current pace, it won't be here in the next century.

:17:57. > :18:00.This road once ran through the fishing village, but now it's

:18:01. > :18:02.not safe to use any more because the cliff has been eaten away.

:18:03. > :18:06.Professor Jules Pretty records how this landscape is changing.

:18:07. > :18:10.The soft sandstone cliffs provide stunning scenery,

:18:11. > :18:15.but they've been sheared away by the sea over centuries.

:18:16. > :18:19.The lands that people played on and watched the bombers go to sea

:18:20. > :18:23.in the Second World War, they're about half a mile out to sea now.

:18:24. > :18:26.We're standing on the edge. As we look forward,

:18:27. > :18:28.the effects of climate change will mean that the pace

:18:29. > :18:32.of change will actually accelerate. That brings uncertainty to many

:18:33. > :18:38.who call these beaches home. Sian Lloyd, BBC News,

:18:39. > :18:41.on the east coast. A former police officer has been

:18:42. > :18:44.accused of lying and of having wiped a written record

:18:45. > :18:47."from the history of Hillsborough." The accusation was made

:18:48. > :18:49.against Trevor Bichard, who's been giving evidence at the

:18:50. > :18:56.Hillsborough inquest in Warrington. Judith Moritz is in Warrington.

:18:57. > :19:07.Tell us more about what has been said? In 19 89, PC Trevor Bichard

:19:08. > :19:11.was operating the CCTV cameras at the Hillsborough stadium. Today he

:19:12. > :19:14.was accused of lying. It was said in court a note he made about that

:19:15. > :19:20.afternoon had vanished from the record. At 2.55pm on the afternoon

:19:21. > :19:25.of the disaster he heard officers on the police radios asking for the

:19:26. > :19:32.gates to the central tunnel which led down to the pens behind the goal

:19:33. > :19:37.to be closed off. The pens were where 96 Liverpool fans later lost

:19:38. > :19:42.their lives. He made a note of that request in a log he made a day after

:19:43. > :19:46.the disaster. The court was told in a second copy of the log and oral

:19:47. > :19:51.evidence there had been no mention of that detail at all. Brendan

:19:52. > :19:54.Campbell, representing Hillsborough families, said it had been wiped

:19:55. > :19:58.from the history of Hillsborough. She asked him why and on who

:19:59. > :20:01.instruction have you lied? He answered, nobody has instructed me

:20:02. > :20:03.to lie. There's nothing I've said. I didn't honestly believe. Judith.

:20:04. > :20:14.Thank you very much. Drivers of diesel vehicles are

:20:15. > :20:18.facing higher charges to travel into city centres as part

:20:19. > :20:20.of efforts to tackle air pollution. Plans are being drawn up in London

:20:21. > :20:22.to charge a ?10 fee for diesel vehicles, to avoid breaching

:20:23. > :20:25.European pollution standards and incurring heavy fines.

:20:26. > :20:26.Other cities are said to be considering low emission zones.

:20:27. > :20:33.Our transport correspondent, Richard Westcott, has the details.

:20:34. > :20:41.For years we have been told diesels are greener. The Government even

:20:42. > :20:45.lowered the tax so we'd buy them. So why are so many councils now

:20:46. > :20:50.thinking about charging us to drive a diesel in town? I'm a young

:20:51. > :20:54.driver. It's difficult to pay that amount amount of money to come into

:20:55. > :20:58.the city centre. They should apply a charge for the vehicles that are

:20:59. > :21:03.causing more of a pollution and everything else that goes along with

:21:04. > :21:06.it as well. I just don't think they should be charging to come into the

:21:07. > :21:10.city centre. I don't think people come into the city centre in cars

:21:11. > :21:15.much now anyway. Until now, the focus has been on carbon dioxide

:21:16. > :21:23.emissions which are often lower with diesels, the problem is, they

:21:24. > :21:25.pollute in other ways too. You can certainly smell the exhaust from

:21:26. > :21:30.here, the only way we can actually see what is coming out is to use a

:21:31. > :21:36.piece of equipment like this. On this screen, we will be able to

:21:37. > :21:42.identify all of the pollutants. We are looking at nitrogen dioxide or

:21:43. > :21:48.NO2 it's bad in diesel cars, worse than in petrol. In urban situations,

:21:49. > :21:51.where you have lots of congestion and traffic flow situations like

:21:52. > :21:57.junctions and traffic lights, you get high spikes of NO2 which is

:21:58. > :22:01.detrimental to human health. The nigh row again ok sides are bad if

:22:02. > :22:05.you are asthmatic, order other very young. The Government is facing

:22:06. > :22:09.legal action for failing to hit EU pollution targets in all the big

:22:10. > :22:12.cities. Ministers say they are committed to cutting pollution. The

:22:13. > :22:17.Mayor of London is looking to charge drivers an extra ?10 if they drive

:22:18. > :22:22.an older diesel into the city. To think there was a mistake made to

:22:23. > :22:28.get everybody into buying cars that were pumping out a lot of this, we

:22:29. > :22:32.need to move on and have cleaner diesel engines. Several councils,

:27:23. > :27:25.Scotland, some on the heavy side by the end of the night. The breeze

:27:26. > :27:29.will blow through northern areas. Dry further south. A lovely sunny
