Japan and back again. Hello. Thanks for being with us on bbc world news. Three palestinians killed, four injured in an irali raid on central gaza. Its the latest incident recorded of strikes on gaza over the last few days. Palestinian medical Officials Say the total killed since hostilities broke out stands at 78. Most of them are civilians. The Egyptian Government ordered the opening of the strip. That is for palestinians to be treated there. Israel says in 24 hours, more than 100 rockets have been launched onto itself land from the gaza strike. One strike killed nine people as they watched the world cup in a beach cafe. With me now is bbc arabic editor on what is clearly a messy affair on both sides of the fence. Lets be honest. Whats the impression youre getting as to where this is leading . Its not clear what israeliss are planning for coming days or next hours. The latest weve got through our correspondent there is that israelis warn some people in the northern part of gaza to evacuate their houses which could be interpreted by analysts, could be the beginning of ground operations. It could be also for air strikes because this is the israeli measures taken sometimes when they ask people to evacuate before attacking. Right. Theyve not been afraid to step back from talking about ground offense. Thats clear. Both sides it seems have no real qualms about saying were not interested in the cease fire unless of course. Both parties were pushed to the edge now. Behind this, there should be Political Solutions at the end. Still we dont know how this will will unfold in the coming days on the military level. Hamas went to the extreme yesterday. One of the top leaders gave the speech. He was urging people in the west bank as well to start a new uprising. Were looking at pictures here. What is in it for hamas to maintain this situation at the moment . Hamas consider from their own angle they were pushed to that. They didnt choose to go to war and israelis provoked them into this. On the israeli side, its the opposite. They consider hamas led to all these violence in gaza. Of course both sides could say lets sort this out between us, have a break, a truce. It feels as though neither side wants that . Of course. This sort of war, tactics are aiming for political plans. This is not clear what israelis are aiming. Yesterday one of the top leaders of hamas hinted we would not go back to truce period. So he was like setting the ceilings or the cards on the table if there is room for negotiations in the coming days. There were rumors regarding an egyptian mediation. We still dont know the details. There is something happening behind the doors on the political level. All sort of declarations or statements or positions now will help into this in a way. And the importance of opening the border crossing. Will there be a lot of palestinians use that . Its only one day as far as we understood and for humanitarian reasons to evacuate. Egyptians couldnt keep the blind eye of whats happening in gaza. They should do something, give a hand, and this is the way they found. Purely temporary. Thanks very much. Well certainly bring you the latest developments on the story as they come to us and as it unfolds. Follow the updates and analysis on the website. Just to remind you, the address bbc.

Most forces here are called to regroup to come up with a plan. I think the next move will be an attack. An attack by your forces you say . Yeah. Right. In which direction .

Israel continues to pound gaza for a third day with 80 palestinians reported killed in this weeks air strikes. Theres widespread damage in japan has a Tropical Storm brings flooding and landslides. One of south africas most notorious figures waiting to hear if his parole will be granted. He was sentenced to 212 years in jail in 1996 for the torture and murder of black South African activists in the 80s and 90s. Lets get the latest from milton. Parole or no parole . We have just found out from the justice and correctional minister, he told South Africans the former squad leader of the apartheid government has been denied parole. Hes already spent 20 years in prison for a prison sentence of 212 plus a life sentence. He applied for parole. Parole has been denied. The minister said he denied the parole because he found out that victims of those who were killed had not been consulted. He said mr. Dekock can apply in three months. Hes recanted hasnt me . Very much so. De kock was an apartheid leader, ran an operation from a farm. His nickname was prime evil. He appears as a very intelligence man. Wears thick lens glasses and apparently is polite. According to those that know him, he once killed a man because his colleagues got jammed so he used a spade to kill an apartheid activist. Well hear in a years time whether he gets to be a free man. If he is freed, is that going to create rupture in south africa or is this seen as something from the past . Well have to see david. South africa has moved through the truth and reconciliation commission. Nelson man della was leading the debate. People are talking about it on social media and radio stations. Thanks very much. Lets move onto the world cup. Argentina is through to the final, playing germany in rio after beating netherlands on penalties. Blue and white or simply orange, original tiargentina fa good choice. We are the champions feeling at home in brazil, both sides had a point to prove making it to the finals. The key players made their chances, messy and created more than rivals. He broke away from what seemed a three man defense from his left food. They struggled to break through. The game was tough and lived up to its name as a contact sport. Pressure on the keepers was consistent if not overwhelming. Neither gave away too much. Counter attacks came and what. A number of fans ask, what if . Plenty of good will, both watched on at the shootout. Rodriguez never doubted his role at this point. Argentina get a chance to prove worth as they take on great rivals germany. For day 28 of the world cup, this ends on a sad note for some. For the other half, well the rhythm of football keeps going on. Bbc news. Going to change the mood again. Going to iraq where the kurdish leader has called on the leader to step down. All this comes exactly a month since isis seized mosul. Here they are. Heavy fighting has been taking place across the country. Government forces try to stop the advance of isis troops and take land back again. Isis have taken control of vast areas in the north and west of iraq. For example, you can see tikrit there, fighting in other areas as well. It extends from aleppo down the east to iraq. That yellow area as you see, thats the area of operations for isis now. Lets have a look back at key events in the past month. Hundreds of isis fighters seized the city of mosul on the 10th of june. They took the airport, government buildings. A day later, insurgents took control of tikrit. Isis continued the advance towards baghdad moving into towns an hour away. Isis declares formation of islamic state. The first session of the Iraqi Parliament ended with no agreement at all on the Prime Minister, president or speaker. The kurdish leader did announce an independence referendum will be held in a matter of months. Now today the United Nations has said materials seized by isis do not pose a security risk. Its a response to news isis may have obtained Nuclear Materials from the university in mosul. We are in baghdad. Of course theres alarming despite the initial assessment from the International Agency for atomic energy. I said earlier this whole thing of weapons of mass destruction. Its been used in the past for political reasons. The fact here were talking about is the control of militant organization, radical organization, isis, of a large swatch of iraq and syria. Big cities like mosul and tikrit that have universities and scientific institutions. This is actually the fact that should be alarming more and of course the fact that isis captured heavy weaponry from its battles with the iraqi army last month. This whole thing is alarming enough. Are there clear indications as to how far Iraqi Government efforts might have gone in terms of looking at nuclear as a possible source of weaponry . Not yet. Of course, but for the Iraqi Government this is a crucial battle. They have to win it. Of course they need the support of the international community. So they need to make their case. So far we have seen the slow progress in the iraqi armies attempts to retake the cities and towns that they lost for isis last month. For now, as things stand, without a significant military support, specifically, american air support, or without a significant change within the sunni minority in iraq, you know, those attempts to regain control of the parts of iraq that the government lost, it will be a struggle and not easy. When a farmer in oklahoma saw his mobile phone disappear in a pit of grain, he thought it was gone. He got a call from another country. Theres pictures on here i forgot about. This Oklahoma Farmer dropped his phone with little hope to see it again. Had it in my pocket. Bent over to work on a hopper bottom door. It fell out of my pocket into the grain pent. Went up the elevator. I thought ill never see that phone again. That was in oklahoma. The phone traveled by trip to japan where it was mixed with 2 million bushels of grain. Then mr. Whitney received a phone call. Is this Kevin Whitney . I said yeah, this is kevin. He said did you lose a cellphone . I said yeah i lost a phone last fall. A worker at the mill found the phone, scrolled through to find the owner contact. I couldnt believe it. What shocked me about it when i got the phone call is what a small world it is. A small world it traveled around without suffering so much as a strike. Thanks for watching bbc world news. You bring your banged up car to the repair shop.

Israel warns of no cease fire as long as hamas keeps up rocket fire aimed at cities. We dont want a situation where you have a kick fix band aid and hamas gets to regroup and a week from now you have missiles on israel. Thats not a solution. An alleged al qaeda plot to blow up the eiffel tower. Justin bieber is sentenced to two years probation for pelting his neighbors house with eggs. Hello. Three palestinians were killed, another four injured on gasoline s this morning. Medical Officials Say the total killed since hostilities broke out stands 78, most civilians. The egyptians government ordered the bridge crossing for palestinians to be treated there. Israel says more than 100 rockets have been launched onto the gaza strike. One israeli strike killed nine last night as they watched the world cup in the beach cafe. The bbc is in gaza. The streets now in gaza city are completely empty. As you can see a densely populated place. Nobody at all is on the street. Its been a noisy night here, shelling by forces. The Israeli Military says its hit more than 100 targets since midnight. In that time it says five rocks hit israel fired by militants in gaza and further seven intercepted by the defense system. Of course here at the moment theres a lot of concern about the increasing number of civilians killed. More than 60 having killed in gaza since the military operation began on tuesday. Increasingly civilians have been killed. The policy of going after militants in their homes. One case where the Israeli Military apologized saying it was a tragedy what happened to to a house that belonged to a commander. They have a policy of doing a knock on roof idea. They either send a rocket as a warning or send a call telling people to leave and then attack it. People massed there in a human shield thinking it would stop it from being attacked. Israel returned too early to the home. Eight people were killed in that attack. That having been said, there are a number of people who got killed in a beach side cafe as they were watching the world cup semi final not far away night. This policy still going after homes seems to be continuing. Israel of course has been on the receiving end of hamas rocket attacks coming from gaza. Our correspondent James Reynolds sent us this report. This is one of the most recent palestinian rocket hits on israel. This is an art workshop in the village. I want to show you the damage here. Heres the rubble. Look beyond the police tape up towards the room. Thats where the rocket landed. It punched through the room. There was no one inthat workshop at the time. That wasnt the only hit on this small village last night. Theres a family home you cant see a couple of blocks away. A rocket landed in the play room of that house. No one was in the t house at the time so no one was injured. This community has been shake aen. Its following the military operation in gaza. I can hear a drone in the sky at the moment very high. People here say they want calm. Theyre fed up of rocket strikes, feel vulnerable. They want the israeli army to act. Thats the situation on the ground. What about the political responses . President of the Palestinian National Initiative Party told us that hamas is ready to stop attacks on israel. Hamas is ready. They told us yesterday. Their president told us they are ready to immediately stop all firing of rockets if israel stops attacking them. Theyre ready to accept a mutual declaration of cease fire. This could bring a huge massacre in gaza. Two previous attacks on gaza, israel kill d 2,000 palestinians including children. This would be grave and much larger massacre. Gaza is only 140 square miles with 1. 8 Million People living in it. Its the most populated area in the world. As we are seeing today, any israeli bombs, israeli air strike will affect the lives of people. Hes saying hamas is ready to stop rockets provided the israelis stop their air strikes. This is the response from the Israeli Government spokesman. With all fairness, hes not a spokesman from hamas. If they want to stop firing rockets they can do it. Maybe you need an agreement on a time at which both sides just stop . Im sure theres no point batting back and forth about who started it. We can have that discussion if you want. Israel does not want to see a situation. Weve been hitting hamas very hard over the last three days. We dont want a situation where okay. You have a i quick fix band aid. Hamas gets to regroup. Then once again you have missiles on israel. This immediate quick fix to give hamas a breather, thats not going to happen. There was ample deescalate before this. Messages were sent to try and prevent this. Hamas kept sending rockets into israel trying to kill our people. We were forced to respond. We dont want to give hamas a basketball term, a timeout to come back with more energy to come back and hit us next week. Details of a leaked official government plot about the plot to blow up the eiffel tower and other landmarks. It coincides with the revelations of this week. We are in paris with christian. Tell us more. No doubt david this plot was leaked to strengthen the governments case for terror laws. It points to a man living in south eastern france, a 29yearold butcher who was in communication with a senior lieutenant from al qaeda in the islamic. Through the course of communication in encrypted messages which were ciphered by the intelligence services, he alluded to targets such as eiffel tower, popular with tourists. Also small nightclubs where average citizens from poorer classes might gather. He impressed the people he was a talking to so much they invited him for training in nigeria. He would return to france to a wait instructions. France worries theres an increasing number of people like him, those that have been to fight in syria that pose a threat in france. Yesterday tighter laws were introduced by the interior minister that will try to prevent these lone wolves from carrying out attacks. Is it clear how close he got . Its not. From the reports weve had from the french media, its not clear whether he was any near toer to carrying out attacks. I assume he was not. The french government say there are people they want to prevent from traveling. Under the bill laid out yesterday, there will be travel bans up to six months renewable at the discretion of the interior minister of people like him they pick up on websites. Theyre trying to put forward passenger lists, people that cant book tickets or shouldnt be allowed. Those that do its difficult to stop people traveling within the area. They will be subject to International Arrest warrant. Theres also legislation within the new bill that would allow Intelligence Officers to circulate within internet websites. Laws david that are similar to child pornography laws. Theyd be able to close down sites that encourage these lone wolves. They have experience in france. We have the attack in brussels recently. The man that killed three at a Jewish Museum and also mohammed that turned guns on a jewish community. These are people they have in their sights and want to prevent it again. That puts us on a theme. Here in britain, the Prime Minister announced hes rushing through emergency law to give police and spy agencies access to mobile phones and internet data. He says powers are needed to keep people safe from criminals and terrorists targeting the uk. Im not talking about the content of Communications Just the fact they took place. The so called communications data. Information about who contacted who, when, where. This is at the heart of our entire criminal justice system. Its used in 95 of all Serious Organized Crime cases handled by the crime prosecution service. Its been used in every major security service, Counter Terrorism investigation over the past decade. Its the foundation of prosecutions of pedophiles, drug dealers and frauds. The killers have reached drones in the men that groomed young girls would not have been convicted. Interestingly coming out now, its a common theme for countries. The Prime Minister was references iraq and syria has one of the reasons this emergency legislation is needed. Actually the real reason is to deal with a court ruling by the European Court justice in april which validated the existing system of keeping phone and email records. This has been done a number of years and all European Countries were doing in different ways implementing this from europe. In april it was said it was disproportionate the way it was done. Effectively the system became invalid. The government here is saying we need to put our own system in place as fast as we can so we can continue to keep the phone records and email records so that police and Security Services act. They are making the case. This isnt new powers. Its not new powers in the way france are talking about. This is maintain an existing capability to do something theyve been doing. It will be as much power. Theyre not relink kwishing eating senator. No, theyre not. Theyre saying well put more privacy and safeguards around the use of power. More transparency, more information about how its being used. The power is not theically new. Also theres a kind of clarification of the relationship with companies. This is held by Companies Like google, telephone companies. Also international. Theyre saying we need a clear legal footing to do this. Were not comfortable keeping this data. Thank you very much.

Many of them say some leaders say theyre 4,000 pounds off worse off than four years ago. Theyll be marching from here today outside the bbc in Central London all the way down to the square for their rally. This is just one of many rallies taking place across the country here today. Its become highly politic politicalized hasnt it . Whats the government big gripe with this day of action . One of the problems here is for example with the teaching unions, their ballots. Their strike actions took place a number of years ago, two years ago. The government is saying thats too long ago. You cant have a ballot for strike action that endures that long. You have to reballot people if you can. Theyre also saying the number of people that turned out, the number of workers that turned out in that ballot were 27 . They say thats not high enough. Many of the conservative parties members have wanted for some time a turn out to be about 50 . The Prime Minister David Cameron is promising to try to change the law on that if his government gets in the next general election. Thanks very much.
