:01:34. > :01:37.The United Nations has accused Israel of launching a deadly attack
:01:38. > :01:43.at one of its schools in Gaza where thousands of Palestinians had been
:01:44. > :01:46.seeking shelter from the fighting. The shelling began at dawn,
:01:47. > :01:48.killing at least 15 people. The Israeli military has denied
:01:49. > :01:51.targeting UN schools, saying militants had fired on its
:01:52. > :01:54.soldiers from within the vicinity. The number of Palestinians killed
:01:55. > :01:59.in Gaza is now said to have reached 1,300 since
:02:00. > :02:02.the fighting began three weeks ago. 58 Israelis have died so far -
:02:03. > :02:04.56 soldiers and two civilians. A Thai national was also killed.
:02:05. > :02:08.Our international correspondent, Ian Pannell,
:02:09. > :02:12.sent this report from Jabalia where the UN school was shelled.
:02:13. > :02:24.You may find some of the details and images in his report disturbing.
:02:25. > :02:33.The terror of the conflict in Gaza stamped on the face of a
:02:34. > :02:44.five-year-old. He was sleeping when the shells landed. They had been
:02:45. > :02:49.sheltering in a UN school. The casualties have come into one of the
:02:50. > :02:53.main hospitals. We believe about 70 people have been injured. We have
:02:54. > :02:57.seen women and children and elderly men. The precise figure is not
:02:58. > :03:11.known. The debate will begin about who is responsible for this. The
:03:12. > :03:14.victims streamed into a -- into A, overwhelming a hospital already
:03:15. > :03:20.struggling to cope. The youngest and most honourable shattered and
:03:21. > :03:26.shocked. -- most vulnerable. Two little girls sharing a bed, bloody
:03:27. > :03:34.and bruised. One is just eight years old. She and her friend were in one
:03:35. > :03:38.of the classrooms when it was hit. We were sleeping when the air strike
:03:39. > :03:52.happened, she says. What do we have to do with all of this? The hospital
:03:53. > :03:57.grounds overflowed with bereaved flummery -- briefed families. Every
:03:58. > :04:03.day in Gaza seems to look like this. The UN says Israel attacked the
:04:04. > :04:13.school. Two very precise holes were punched through the walls of
:04:14. > :04:18.classrooms. Some signs that families had been living here. There was
:04:19. > :04:23.mortar fire fired by Palestinian terrorists from next to the school.
:04:24. > :04:28.We were responding to fire in the vicinity. We are reviewing the
:04:29. > :04:32.incident. Those who live here are shattered and shocked. It was
:04:33. > :04:40.supposed to be safe. On days like this, it feels like nowhere is. I
:04:41. > :04:46.want to tell you that in the school, we don't have any weapons, we don't
:04:47. > :04:51.have any militants and we escaped to search for security here but we did
:04:52. > :04:57.not have any because of the Israeli occupation of the terrorism. It has
:04:58. > :05:04.been another day of bloodshed in Gaza. Each incident has its own
:05:05. > :05:19.tragic story. Last week we reported on a baby girl delivered from her
:05:20. > :05:26.dead mother's body. Today she died. With bombs falling nearby in a
:05:27. > :05:30.cemetery full of makeshift graves they buried her next to the mother
:05:31. > :05:34.she had never known. One more death on a day marked with violence. She
:05:35. > :05:47.was just five days old. Palestinian health officials say
:05:48. > :05:51.at least 17 people have been killed and more than 160 wounded
:05:52. > :05:53.in an Israeli strike on a crowded market in Gaza this afternoon.
:05:54. > :05:55.The Israeli military says it's investigating the incident.
:05:56. > :05:58.Our correspondent, Jon Donnison, joins us live from Jerusalem.
:05:59. > :06:04.There are reports that people thought a ceasefire was in place?
:06:05. > :06:11.That is right. Earlier this morning the Israeli military had said that
:06:12. > :06:20.there would be a humanitarian truce for four hours a dream 3pm and 7pm
:06:21. > :06:26.local time in parts of Gaza -- between 3pm and 7pm. The
:06:27. > :06:32.neighbourhood where it happened on the edge of Gaza City has been one
:06:33. > :06:37.of the most intensely bombarded. That area was not included in the
:06:38. > :06:41.humanitarian truce. It may be of course the fact that there were
:06:42. > :06:45.hundreds of people out on the streets at the market suggesting
:06:46. > :06:51.many people had not got that message. Either way, the number of
:06:52. > :06:57.civilians killed continues to rise. Israel says it does not ever
:06:58. > :07:01.deliberately target civilians. But it clearly is prepared to accept a
:07:02. > :07:06.large number of civilian casualties in order to meet its goals which is
:07:07. > :07:13.taking out Hamas's weapons stores and taking out the tunnels and
:07:14. > :07:18.killing Hamas fighters. The government here has public support
:07:19. > :07:22.for its actions. The number of Israeli soldiers being killed, three
:07:23. > :07:30.more killed today, bringing the number 1056, as well as Israeli
:07:31. > :07:35.civilians. -- bringing the number upturn 56. The Israelis say they
:07:36. > :07:41.will continue until they have met their ends.
:07:42. > :07:44.thought a ceasefire was in place? The Bank of England has announced
:07:45. > :07:49.some of the toughest restrictions on bankers' pay anywhere in the world.
:07:50. > :07:52.Bankers will be forced to return their bonuses up to seven years
:07:53. > :07:54.after they were awarded if found guilty of misconduct.
:07:55. > :07:56.The measures follow the financial crisis of 2008
:07:57. > :07:57.and other subsequent scandals. Our economics correspondent,
:07:58. > :08:05.Simon Jack, has the details. For success for bankers big bonus
:08:06. > :08:09.checks have come to be expected. After the financial crisis, scandals
:08:10. > :08:14.and public anger, from January of next year 's future checks may end
:08:15. > :08:19.up going back. Let us say it has been a great year and I am in line
:08:20. > :08:23.for a hefty bonus. In three up to five years time, I can spend it on
:08:24. > :08:28.whatever my heart desires. In the new rules, up to seven years after I
:08:29. > :08:33.get the bonus, I may have to return the money. Barclays set aside
:08:34. > :08:38.another ?900 million to date to compensate people mis-sold
:08:39. > :08:44.insurance, a timely reminder that misconduct can take many years to
:08:45. > :08:48.unearth. We now have the toughest regime in banking pay of any global
:08:49. > :08:52.financial centre. Bankers are paid less here compared to New York and
:08:53. > :08:56.Singapore and Hong Kong. This could have an impact on the
:08:57. > :08:59.competitiveness of London as a financial centre and the jobs and
:09:00. > :09:04.tax paid here. There are also proposals which could see bankers
:09:05. > :09:10.jailed. A former investment banker thinks it will grab attention. This
:09:11. > :09:16.is a very bold package of measures. First of all, it raises the spectre
:09:17. > :09:21.of criminal sanctions. Secondly, it hits bankers in their pockets.
:09:22. > :09:25.Thirdly, it defines everyone's role is clearly so that the regulators
:09:26. > :09:31.know exactly where to go. One other point to make is that if bankers do
:09:32. > :09:37.run offshore as they are threatening to do, it is a terrible indictment
:09:38. > :09:41.on the industry as a whole. Interest rate rating, mis-selling, these
:09:42. > :09:45.scandals have cost the City its reputation and taxpayers hundreds of
:09:46. > :09:51.billions of pounds. What about the individuals? It is hoped the tough
:09:52. > :09:56.new rules will change the culture of the people working here in the heart
:09:57. > :09:59.of banking. Can you imagine every banker hitting a lawyer and going to
:10:00. > :10:04.court? You have to think through the methodology. Going back seven
:10:05. > :10:10.years, really? That would be tough, really tough. Yearly would
:10:11. > :10:17.definitely be the way forward. Seven years is ridiculous. I would
:10:18. > :10:22.probably leave. Find myself a new career. They are not accountable for
:10:23. > :10:28.the way they behave and you would be in any other industry. I would
:10:29. > :10:33.support that move. The bonus party may not quite be over but some of
:10:34. > :10:37.the champagne they have to go back on ice for a little while longer.
:10:38. > :10:40.Simon Jack, has the details. Firefighters in Eastbourne are
:10:41. > :10:43.tackling a huge blaze on the pier. The fire started this afternoon in a
:10:44. > :10:45.games arcade and quickly took hold. It's not thought anyone
:10:46. > :10:48.has been injured. Angus Crawford reports.
:10:49. > :11:00.A tower of smoke in a clear blue sky. Flames ripped through the
:11:01. > :11:04.Victorian pier. The arcade, a magnet for holiday-makers, now a skeleton
:11:05. > :11:09.of twisted metal. It is thought the fire started behind wooden panelling
:11:10. > :11:15.just after 3pm this afternoon. There is at least a dozen firefighters and
:11:16. > :11:21.emergency services on the scene at the moment. They firefighters are
:11:22. > :11:26.dealing with it as well as I can. They have fire hoses all over the
:11:27. > :11:31.place. It is just a really bad site at the moment. More than 50
:11:32. > :11:35.firefighters are tackling the flames now in a desperate attempt to stop
:11:36. > :11:40.the entire structure being destroyed. Even the local lifeboat
:11:41. > :11:44.has been called out to assist. There have been no reports of any injuries
:11:45. > :11:50.and tourists are being kept behind a police cordon. Some taking to the
:11:51. > :11:55.beach for a better view though. A historic attraction terribly damaged
:11:56. > :11:59.in peak season. The local Council is calling it a tragedy.
:12:00. > :12:02.Angus Crawford reports. A former firearms officer is to be
:12:03. > :12:05.charged with the murder of Azelle Rodney who was shot dead by police
:12:06. > :12:08.in North London in April, 2005. Mr Rodney was one
:12:09. > :12:11.of three men travelling in a car that was stopped by police.
:12:12. > :12:13.They were looking for a group of men who they believed were
:12:14. > :12:17.on their way to commit a drugs-related armed robbery.
:12:18. > :12:19.No police officer in the UK has ever been convicted of murder as
:12:20. > :12:27.the result of a firearms operation. June Kelly can tell us more.
:12:28. > :12:33.Inside a police car which was part of a convoy in pursuit of a
:12:34. > :12:39.suspected armed gang. By the time the chase was over, one of the gang
:12:40. > :12:44.was dead. A police marksman fired eight bullets at 24-year-old Azelle
:12:45. > :12:49.Rodney in the back of the car. Six bullets hit him in the head and
:12:50. > :12:53.body. Now that firearms officer is facing a murder charge. His identity
:12:54. > :12:58.is being protected. He is known only as E7. Azelle Rodney under
:12:59. > :13:03.surveillance just a short time before he was shot. Today his mother
:13:04. > :13:06.said she was very pleased by the decision to charge the officer. But
:13:07. > :13:14.all of these years after the shooting, from one of his former
:13:15. > :13:18.colleagues, this was the reaction. People will not be prepared to go
:13:19. > :13:19.out on the streets doing the risky job where they are risking their
:13:20. > :13:22.lives on pretty much a job where they are risking their
:13:23. > :13:28.lives on pretty daily basis if the result of that is a charge and a
:13:29. > :13:34.possibility of imprisonment. This case goes back nearly ten years. In
:13:35. > :13:38.2005, Azelle Rodney was killed. The next year the Crown Prosecution
:13:39. > :13:42.Service announced no officer would face charges. The family were told
:13:43. > :13:47.they could be no inquest because secret intelligence evidence was
:13:48. > :13:51.involved. In 2009, Azelle Rodney's mother took her fight to the
:13:52. > :13:55.European Court of Human Rights. In 2012, there was a public inquiry. It
:13:56. > :14:00.found there was no lawful justification for the shooting.
:14:01. > :14:05.Nearly a decade on, what happened here is going to come under scrutiny
:14:06. > :14:09.in the criminal courts. The officer involved retired from the Met Police
:14:10. > :14:12.a few years ago. He is going to make his first court appearance in
:14:13. > :14:22.September head office trial for the murder of Azelle Rodney. -- ahead of
:14:23. > :14:26.his trial. Our top story: At least 30 Palestinians are killed and
:14:27. > :14:29.hundreds more injured after shells hit a UN school
:14:30. > :14:33.hundreds more injured after shells Gaza. Still to come, no new for a
:14:34. > :14:37.driver, why this car could be on our roads as early as next year.
:14:38. > :14:40.June Kelly can tell us more. Coming up later on BBC London:
:14:41. > :14:42.Protests as plans to shake up hospital services in West London

:14:45. > :14:57.cows in your local park - The latest outbreak of the Ebola
:14:58. > :15:00.virus in Africa is the deadliest yet.
:15:01. > :15:03.Today the Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond, chaired
:15:04. > :15:06.an emergency meeting in London. He said Ebola was
:15:07. > :15:08.a potential threat to the UK, but was unlikely to spread here.
:15:09. > :15:13.Symptoms of the deadly disease include fever,
:15:14. > :15:15.diarrhoea as well as vomiting. It is highly infectious
:15:16. > :15:19.and contagious. There is no cure.
:15:20. > :15:23.Its fatality rate is high - between 50% and 90% of those
:15:24. > :15:29.infected with Ebola die. And it has killed more than 670 people in
:15:30. > :15:31.West Africa this year alone. Our Global Health Correspondent
:15:32. > :15:33.Tulip Mazumdar has travelled to Gueckadou in South East Guinea,

:15:56. > :16:08.his burial so he is carefully laid to rest by strangers.
:16:09. > :16:15.Adel looks after him in his final moments. TRANSLATION: I was there
:16:16. > :16:19.with him just before he died. I had been feeding him milk. I stepped
:16:20. > :16:23.away for a break, but I was called back and he was dead. I was totally
:16:24. > :16:33.devastated. At times I just go outside and try. Health workers know
:16:34. > :16:38.they are at very high risk. The virus is extremely contagious, so
:16:39. > :16:41.they seal themselves in suits where temperatures hit 40 Celsius. Samples
:16:42. > :16:49.from sick patients are sent to this shift diagnostics lab. British
:16:50. > :16:53.scientists are among those testing for It is spread in a specific
:16:54. > :16:57.manner, normally with close contact with fluids. Any end stages,
:16:58. > :17:02.particularly with bodily secretions like saliva sweat.
:17:03. > :17:08.Having that in your head while you are dealing with these samples is
:17:09. > :17:14.obviously very important. In remote villages, devastated by a bowler,
:17:15. > :17:22.the fear is palpable. Fear is helping spread the virus. Some think
:17:23. > :17:25.medics are bringing it here. Others don't believe the virus exists. A
:17:26. > :17:30.few days ago, health workers couldn't even get into this village.
:17:31. > :17:33.They have made a breakthrough here today. People are bringing out their
:17:34. > :17:41.sick relatives and agreeing to be tracked over for symptoms. There is
:17:42. > :17:48.no cure for this virus, but it is not an automatic death sentence.
:17:49. > :17:53.With early treatment, like keeping people well hydrated, people can
:17:54. > :18:03.pull through. When I was sick, it was really, really difficult to eat,
:18:04. > :18:11.to wake up. But now I work myself, I greet my children and so on. So I am
:18:12. > :18:15.very, very happy. Another Ebola survivor has come to see his little
:18:16. > :18:21.sister. It's good news. Initial tests for Marion have come back
:18:22. > :18:25.negative. But Ebola is indiscriminate. Their mother also
:18:26. > :18:30.has the virus and may not survive. She, like many others, is infected,
:18:31. > :18:38.isolated and fighting an invisible killer.
:18:39. > :18:43.Our science editor David Shukman is with me now. There was a crisis
:18:44. > :18:48.meeting held in London today. How much of a risk is there? All of the
:18:49. > :18:51.experts we have been speaking to have emphasised that the risks are
:18:52. > :18:55.very low. It is technically possible that someone with the infection
:18:56. > :18:59.could get on a plane in West Africa and fly to Britain, and then pass
:19:00. > :19:03.the virus on to people they are close to. But the airlines are on
:19:04. > :19:06.the lookout, the health authorities here have been on the alert for
:19:07. > :19:10.weeks. We have the technology in this country to cope, should someone
:19:11. > :19:15.make it through all that with Ebola. The real problem, I think, is in the
:19:16. > :19:19.source of this, in West Africa. You have countries that are very poor,
:19:20. > :19:22.with very weak health infrastructure, without the ability
:19:23. > :19:26.to respond. There have been outbreaks, dozens of them throughout
:19:27. > :19:29.the last 30 or 40 years, and they have all been contained through
:19:30. > :19:33.simple measures, where possible. Quarantine, perhaps protective
:19:34. > :19:37.clothing. But these countries are developing and that is difficult to
:19:38. > :19:41.do. As we heard in the report, there is some distrust among local people.
:19:42. > :19:43.It is not over yet. We are waiting to see if the numbers are falling or
:19:44. > :19:49.rising in the next few days. The five-year prison sentence handed
:19:50. > :19:51.down to Rolf Harris will not be referred to the Court of Appeal

:21:34. > :21:36.The Government's original plan was to allow driverless cars
:21:37. > :21:39.onto public roads last year. Now, there will be a review of road
:21:40. > :21:45.regulations and a competition, with towns bidding to be pilot areas
:21:46. > :21:48.for the new technology. But Britain is playing catch-up.
:21:49. > :21:50.Google has been testing its driverless car on Californian
:21:51. > :21:59.roads for some time. While Sweden's Volvo has pioneered
:22:00. > :22:01.a system where cars line up in convoy behind a lead vehicle
:22:02. > :22:09.which controls their speed. Car technology continues to evolve,
:22:10. > :22:12.but how do drivers visiting the Beaulieu Motor Museum view
:22:13. > :22:17.the prospect of vehicles which can do it all themselves?
:22:18. > :22:20.Things can go wrong with computers, and when they do you're going to
:22:21. > :22:23.have a big accident, aren't you? I don't like the idea of it,
:22:24. > :22:26.to be honest. I'd feel a bit more safe if I'm
:22:27. > :22:28.actually controlling what I'm doing in a vehicle.
:22:29. > :22:30.I would love to have a driverless car.
:22:31. > :22:34.I do a lot of travelling with work and the thought of just getting
:22:35. > :22:37.into a car and it's taking me to work is just the best.
:22:38. > :22:39.A lot more research is needed. This project is looking
:22:40. > :22:42.at how groups of self driving cars might learn to interact.
:22:43. > :22:44.But the Government hopes today's moves will help Britain become
:22:45. > :22:53.a leader in the future of motoring. It's day seven of the
:22:54. > :22:56.Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and it's brought another gold for
:22:57. > :23:00.England in the men's gymnastics. But much of the focus today has been
:23:01. > :23:02.on Jamaica's Usain Bolt - not for his sprinting, but instead
:23:03. > :23:06.for negative comments he allegedly made about the Games yesterday.
:23:07. > :23:07.Today, though, he appears to have changed his tune.
:23:08. > :23:20.Andy Swiss is at Hampden Park. Yes, Usain Bolt is not racing here
:23:21. > :23:27.until the relay heats on Friday. Even so, he is already making the
:23:28. > :23:33.headlines. Bolt, the biggest name in these games, might have talked
:23:34. > :23:36.himself into trouble. This piece contains flash photography. Usain
:23:37. > :23:40.Bolt was supporting Jamaica's netball team this morning.
:23:41. > :23:44.But the world's fastest man has charged into controversy. What do
:23:45. > :23:48.you think of the Commonwealth Games? Awesome, was his reply. Very
:23:49. > :23:51.different to what he was supposed to have given yesterday. Shortly after
:23:52. > :23:55.meeting members of the Royal family, it is claimed he spoke to a reporter
:23:56. > :24:00.and described the so-called friendly games in less than friendly terms.
:24:01. > :24:04.Today he denied the claims on Twitter. I am waking up to this
:24:05. > :24:09.nonsense, journalists, please don't create lies to create headlines.
:24:10. > :24:13.Usain Bolt is used to being the centre of attention, but not quite
:24:14. > :24:17.like this. The focus in Glasgow is not on how he might run, but on what
:24:18. > :24:20.he might have said. By the afternoon, he was back at the
:24:21. > :24:22.athletes village. His press team say afternoon, he was back at the
:24:23. > :24:26.athletes village. His press team he is frustrated because he needs
:24:27. > :24:29.security everywhere and he can't roam about. The newspaper is
:24:30. > :24:36.standing by its quotes and fans have been left bemused. He was just in a
:24:37. > :24:39.bad mood, or something like that? It's quite unlike him, it's
:24:40. > :24:43.fantastic. I think we've done really well, I think the city is showing
:24:44. > :24:48.its friendly side. Everyone is going all-out to make it a great games.
:24:49. > :24:53.Organisers who welcomed Usain Bolt to Glasgow at the weekend have
:24:54. > :24:56.defended their star attraction. We take him at his word, we are pleased
:24:57. > :25:01.with how he responded and that is our position. These are a fantastic
:25:02. > :25:06.aims. Away from the controversy, sport continued. In gymnastics,
:25:07. > :25:10.another gold England. Max Whitlock took victory in the men's all-around
:25:11. > :25:13.final, head of Scotland's Dan Keating 's. The Glasgow games came
:25:14. > :25:19.to Edinburgh, where the diving began with silver for Sarah Barrow and
:25:20. > :25:23.Tonia Couch. It was a day when a sprinter caused the biggest splash.
:25:24. > :25:24.As he trained tonight, he will be hoping it is his feet that now do
:25:25. > :25:34.the talking. Back now to the fire at Eastbourne
:25:35. > :25:37.Pier which started this afternoon in eight games arcade and quickly
:25:38. > :25:44.became a huge blaze. Sian Williams is there. Is it still on fire? I've
:25:45. > :25:47.just spoken to a couple of eyewitnesses that have walked past.
:25:48. > :25:55.They say that, thankfully, it looks like it is out. It started at about
:25:56. > :26:01.3:15 in an amusement arcade, amid some wood panelling. About 12 fire
:26:02. > :26:06.crews were coming and going. They have the lifeboat jetting water to
:26:07. > :26:11.try to douse the flames and two of their inflatable 's. It is owned by
:26:12. > :26:16.a private company, and they have spent a lot on the pier. It has been
:26:17. > :26:20.well maintained, and those that grew up here and spent many happy hours
:26:21. > :26:22.on it, know it has been well looked after. There are going to be a lot
:26:23. > :26:27.of questions as to why that happened. I've just spoken to the
:26:28. > :26:30.local MP, Stephen Lloyd. He said, thank goodness no one has been
:26:31. > :26:35.heard. What we are praying for is that this wonderful pier can be
:26:36. > :26:40.repaired. It is the height of the tourist season and it is a very,
:26:41. > :26:41.very attractive place to go on the pier. Eastbourne will be hoping it
:26:42. > :26:53.can be put back together again. A bit of a change in the weather for
:26:54. > :26:57.many of us. There will be some rain around and not many places managing
:26:58. > :27:01.to escape it. It will largely be in the form of showers. Still some
:27:02. > :27:04.sunshine in between. We will see most of the showers today across the
:27:05. > :27:08.northern half of the UK. Overnight, they will start to creep further
:27:09. > :27:11.southwards. One or two heavy ones turning up here and there towards
:27:12. > :27:15.the end of the night, particularly across the western coast sandhills.
:27:16. > :27:19.As we go on was through tomorrow, as the showers become more widespread,
:27:20. > :27:24.some of them could turn heavy and thundery, the afternoon. Lowering
:27:25. > :27:28.along England and Wales, by some fairly brisk winds. At least they
:27:29. > :27:31.move through. Not many reaching the south-east of England. As the
:27:32. > :27:35.showers tend to line up, you might find you get quite a few coming
:27:36. > :27:38.through where you are, where it is either side of that line, seeing
:27:39. > :27:41.very few. There are some sunshine coming through between the showers.
:27:42. > :27:45.When it does, we get temperatures up to where they should be for this
:27:46. > :27:50.time of the year. Sharp showers for Northern Ireland and Scotland. The
:27:51. > :27:54.wind is a little bit lighter across Scotland. That will help for the
:27:55. > :27:59.feel of the day. For the athletics in Hampden Park, the breeze easing
:28:00. > :28:02.down. Still a little on the cool side, hopefully the showers dying
:28:03. > :28:07.away as well. We keep the unsettled thing going for Friday. Eastern
:28:08. > :28:10.areas might get away with a dry date. You will notice the showers
:28:11. > :28:14.dying up across Wales and south-west England. That tells us what is to
:28:15. > :28:19.come for the start of the weekend. This is how the weekend pans out
:28:20. > :28:22.generally. An area of showery rain moving largely northwards through
:28:23. > :28:27.the course of the day. Brisk wind in with that as well. Slowly, dry and
:28:28. > :28:30.brighter weather pushes up. Get some sunshine and it will feel like
:28:31. > :28:34.summer. With the breeze, it will feel on the cool side. A different
:28:35. > :28:35.kind of summer weather for the weekend.
