hello. you're watching "gmt" on bbc world news. our top stories. the ceasefire between israel and hamas has broken down. 27 people have been killed in gaza. there's now reports an israeli soldier has been captured. tackling the world's worst ever outbreak of deadly ebola virus. we're going to ask how easy it is to screen for the disease. a hero's home coming in the

united states. the woman sentenced to death for announcing her christian faith. big u.s. jobs numbers out today. >> absolutely. investors get ready for another big number. we're expecting 230,000 new jobs created in july. here's the catch 22. a big number could prompt america's central bank, the federal reserve to raise interest rates faster than expecte expected. it's midday in london, 7:00 a.m. washington, 2:00 p.m. gaza. hours after a three day ceasefire began, the fragile truce broke down. the gaza health ministry says 27 palestinians have been killed. 100 have been injured.

breaking news in the last few minutes. israel says one of its soldiers has been captured after the force came under attack from hamas trying to destroy a hamas tunnel. all of this has happened after the ceasefire had supposedly come into effect. in a moment i'm going to speak to israel's deputy foreign minister to get clarification on what will happen now. let's take you to gaza and get the latest from martin there. is it the understanding of people in gaza that the ceasefire is now definitely over? >> reporter: yeah, that is understanding people in gaza have been getting. they received a recorded message from the israeli military telling them to get back this their homes because the military offensive was resuming. it appears the ceasefire crumbled after hour and a half hours. it was supposed to last three days. it crumbled after the incident in rafah.

it's not clear what happened down there. palestinian officials tell us at least 27 people were killed by israeli tank fire. israel has said that it was responding to a palestinian attack. it appears some where in that area this israeli soldier may have been abducted. we have a serious situation. earlier in the day there was hope. people knew the ceasefire would be shaky. i think many palestinians many in gaza hoped it would last more than four and a half hours. >> this next point is crucial. do palestinians believe it is the israelis who broke the cease fire? >> reporter: yeah they say israeli tank fire into rafah into which more than 20 palestinians and dozens of others were wounded. they say it was violation. israel says it was violation of hamas. it's claim and counter claim.

there's absolutely no trust between israel and hamas and no trust between the sides trying to broker a ceasefire between israel and hamas. what's different about this conflict compared to previous conflicts is you had egypt. israel could have negotiations. hamas could go to egypt and have negotiations. both saw egypt as an honest broker. because of changes, the crucial component to ending violence in gaza is broken down. hamas has terrible relations with the current egyptian administration. it says the fight will end once egypt and israel agree to lift embargo. israel says hamas will ship in more rockets and we'll have the same conflict a few months or years down line. they say that isn't going to happen. >> what about the talks meant to get underway in cairo.

is the palestinian delegation planning to go there? is there anything to talk about? >> reporter: wthey were suppose to talk about building upon the three day ceasefire. we're back to square one. we understand hamas delegation was to leave the territory earlier this morning because of the incident in rafah. it appears they were not allowed to cross the border and not welcome by egypt. for the moment, the focus will again be on violence in gaza. there will be fresh attempts to try and broker a ceasefire. as was seen from today, there is no trust between the two sides. any ceasefire even with support of the international community, even with hamas and israel signing up to break down within a matter of hours. >> thanks for the update from gaza. just to bring you news from the united nations coming to us. a statement from the united

nations urging both sides to reaffirm a commitment to gaza truce. coming to us now, the u.n. urging both sides to reaffirm commitment to gaza truce. let's get the israeli view on this. we can take you to jerusalem. i'm joined by the israeli deputy foreign minister. thank you very much for being with us deputy foreign minister. can we first talk about the ceasefire? the u.n. in the past few minutes urging both sides to try to get a truce again? can you tell us categorically from the israeli government p perspecti perspective, is the ceasefire now over? yesterday was the fifth time israel accepted and respected the attempt to have a ceasefire. before there were other four initiatives by the united nations, by red cross, by egypt. all those attempts were accepted by israel. also this morning at 8:00, we

stop every military -- >> is it over? >> yes. 72 hours. at 9:30 this morning, hamas attacked an israeli unit, probably killed several of its people and took a soldier. this is our fear that the fear was abducted. this of course meant the end of the early hours of the cease fire. >> so you believe that military personnel, operating in the conflict zone, an attack on them was justification from israeli perspective to break the ceasefire that so many people including the united nations have called for? >> unfortunately it was not the only violation of the ceasefire. rockets were being shot all the time since the morning. it's not the first time lucy.

unfortunately we have very, very much experience with readiness with hamas to understand ongoing fire and bloodshed bring tragedy to its people and israeli people. it seems they cannot put an end to this violence and terrorism. >> would you though the expect a squirmish like this afternoon the tunnel that from might be small violations of the ceasefire? is that enough of a reason to break the truce from the israeli perspective? there was always a risk. >> there's always justification to killing israelis. we cannot accept it. we are committed to defend our people. these are not isolated issue. i'm talking rockets being launched in the city. the suburbs of gaza, villages and -- there's no end.

it doesn't seem they understand they should put an end to this aggression. we are committing our -- maybe the most justified issue which is self defense. we would love to have a cease fire. it's something we tried to prevent the worry in the first place. we failed and war began. so many times we accepted. politically in israel it's maybe a political suicide for the prime minister. everybody is frustrated and angry. the prime minister and government all the time when it was a possibility. they accepted it not taking into account any political -- >> there are questions about your commitment to the cease fire given that it only lasted just a few hours. there were no -- we understand civilian casualties in israel. they had already since the ceasefire been broken, 30 palestinians dead. can i ask you about the capture

of the israeli soldier. what are you doing to try to retrieve him? >> i have no information from the place of rafah for heavy confrontation. i guess israeli forces are making effort to locate him. it's not easy. you know, they have such a empire of tunnels dug in so many years. taking all the money of so many countries donating to the palestinian welfare and putting it underground in tunnels and rocket building. everything that they invested was invested in death instead of invested in life and economy and prosper tear and welfare and health. very, very tragic. >> why is your focus at the moment not on destroying tunnel network rather than the civilians in gaza. why do you not focus on tunnels rather than killing people?

>> well, the tunnels is not something that is for movies. it's for daily use. five times they infiltrated through tunnels killing more than 10 israel wii10 israel wir. they have built this infrastructure in order to go underneath the border. not to respect israel's sovereignty. to go villages and massacres. this is not hidden agenda. this is all the time in public announcement. they'll go into villages and kill you while you're in your bed. >> i'm sorry to interrupt. we obviously have limited ty ee. i want to ask what's going to happen now. will talks go ahead in cairo, and what would be on the table there? >> it's premature to predict. we're concentrated in this

attempt to bring our boy back. probably within several days maybe weeks the hamas will come to its senses and put an end to the attacks on israel and we will be able to see a normal gaza. we left gaza ten years ago. unilaterally. no jews there, no settlement, no soldiers, nothing. they were supposed to take care of independence. to occupation, out of there. unfortunately in the last decade it dedicated every energy they had to go forward and chase us as they say throw us to the sea and erase israel. >> thank you for joining us on "gmt." thank you for taking the time. >> thank you. >> now i have to make a small correction. we have had a statement from the united nations saying they are calling on palestinian parties to reaffirm their commitment to the gaza truce, not both sides.

we're going to take you we hope soon to the west bank to talk to our correspondent there and get answers to some of these questions raised of what palestinian plans are mow. stay with us. we have more reporting and background on the conflict in gaza on our website. plenty for you. eyewitness reports from correspondents on the ground and analysis including a report on the all important tunnel network which netanyahu vowed to destroy. we were just hearing from deputy foreign minister about the determination to destroy the tunnels. go to bbc.com/gaza. we'll have developments and bring them to you. let's have a look at other news. a uganda court has a nulled the antigay bill brought by human rights groups saying it was illegally passed and

a woman sentenced to death for renouncing her islamic faith has arrived back in the united states. she was given the death penalty in may this year. it sparked an international campaign to save her. it's been a difficult journey for her. she and her family are now in the u.s. and plan to stay there. >> it's been a long, hard journey for her and her young family. one that spanned three continents and involved a tough fight to save her life. all ending here in new hampshire can which is now their new home. a moment of victory after months

of heart ache. her husband daniel was overwhelmed as he tried to thank everyone that helped them. the couple met and married three years ago. because daniel is a christian and she considered to be a muslim, she committed a crime this the eyes of a court. she was given the dealt penalty. >> while she was a waiting the death penalty she gave birth to a baby girl in prison. the case provoked international outcry and resulted in her release 23rd of june. she was detained again at the airport as she tried to leave the country. she was finally released and given permission to fly to italy on july 24th. >> within hours of arriving in

rome, she met the pope that thanked her for perseverance in defending her christian faith. the family stayed over a week in italy before traveling to the united states. daniel has american citizenship. her lawyer says their relationship is a love story. she is called a world freedom fighter. this family will no doubt want to use this opportunity to put their ordeal behind them. bbc news. to bring you breaking news that we are getting from gaza. reaction from hamas to the end of the ceasefire today. the spokesperson for hamas has said it's the israelis that broke the ceasefire and officials acted in the way to assure right of self-defense. he said the world is demanding immediately this should stop the

ongoing massacre against our people. this is the comment from hamas spoke people speaking to bbc in gaza in reaction to the ending of ceasefires. to west africa now where leaders of countries will there affected by the world's worst ebola outbreak are holding a crisis summit with world health organization officials. a $100 million initiative to tackle the epidemic killed 700 people in guinea, liberia and sierra l sierra leono kenya and ethiopia have began screening passengers aarriving from west africa. let's go to emmanuel. how are they screening people coming into the country?

[ inaudible ] >> we seem to be having problems with our sound. our apologies to that. i think the airports are taking people's temperatures as they come through to arrivals as they screen for deadly ebola virus. u.s. congress has abandoned a vote on a bill to provide $650 million to tackle its growing illegal immigration problems. there's been a sudden rise in the unaccompanied number of children leaving if for america in recent months. we show the number of children entering the u.s. is not only growing, but they're also getting younger. >> the children keep coming.

america can't decide how to deal with the surge of unaccompanied minors stopped at the u.s. mexico boarder in the last year. who are these 58,000 children sending shock waves through u.s. politics? okay, let's start with one key must be. 117%. that's the increase of unaccompanied children 12 and younger caught at the u.s. mexico border compared to the last fiscal year. now compare that to 12% which is the increase in unaccompanied 13 to 17-year-olds over the same period. so if the younger group seeing rapid growth even though overall teens outnumber the young in here's the numbers broke down in the year. the this data comes from the research sent their analyzed previously unreleased data a

from the u.s. government. numbers show a big rise in young girls caught at the border. 77% increase since last year. boys have only seen 8% increase. again, they still greatly outnumber girls. 41% of all unaccompanied girls are apprehended at the u.s. border. it's clearly a tough issue. obama has said he'll take matters into his hands if congress fails to act. most do tend to have more faith in democrats. this time around obama is falling short. most u.s. hispanics now disapprove of the president's response to these arriving children. now have you got a dog with a weight problem? there's a gym in the u.s. that

might have worked out a solution to the problem. this is in virginia, dog early establishment between with treadmills, obstacle courses and $700 yearly membership fee. tim has more. >> a gym opening in the u.s. state of virginia, nothing unusual about that you might think. until you meet the clientele who will be using it. this is a gym dedicated to four legged fitness described as a canine sports club. it's a place fido can feel the burn. >> we think it's unique. haven't seen a dog that compares in terms of having a gym membership, dropping in your dog when you want. engaging with them in a new way. >> there's treadmills if conventional dog walking isn't your thing that are ideal for cardio. balance core to build up muscle strength and obstacle course to

approve agility and speed. membership can be anything up to $60 a month or $10 for a day pass. a bargain if it keeps their prized pooch in a state physical perfection. >> you want to keep a dog in good shape. biggest problem dogs have is they get sick of diabetes and die because they've not had enough exercise and been used as a dog. they've been used as a house cushion. a dog needs to go to the gym like a human does for the exact same reasons. >> this the future, they plan to hold wellness seminars and classes for dogs. in the meantime, they gave out a celebratory cake that seems to defeat the purpose of the whole thing some how. let's return to our top story. the fact the cease fire does appear to be over between gaza and hamas. no sign of rockets in the

distance. i can tell you there have been attacks taking place across gaza. this follows the capture of israeli soldier by palestinian militants as he was involved in an administration to destroy the tunnel. gaza officials say 27 have been killed since the ceasefire was broken. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends. three jobs. you're like "nothing can replace brad!" then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance.

welcome to "gmt" on bbc world news. i'm lucy hockings. in this half hour, british scientists launch a dna project they say will revolutionize medicine by unlocking the secret of our genes. and we're speak together man in charge of one of the biggest cultural events. aaron joining us. it's a fall from grace for ghana. >> this nation was a fast growing economy. boy, how things change.

consu consumer prices are soaring. thousands blame the government for mismanagement. we hear exclusively from the president of ghana. drugs that target cancer without according to scientists that will map 100,000 complete dna sequences. people are rare diseases will have dna compared to close relatives to identify tiny changes in their dna code and help scientists perfect more effective treatments. it could spell the end of chemo therapy. >> better understanding of cancers and rare diseases is at

the heart of a ground breaking scheme that's begun genetic research. it contains a person's entire dna. this four year project is aiming to map 100,000. it's hoping it will unlock human gene secrets. >> we diagnose earlier, develop preventive treatments and new treatments. we've seen it in cancer as a wonder drug. the survival in breast cancer has gone from 40% to over 95%. this revolution is changing medicine. >> edward price has first hand experience of how little is known about genetics. last year his 11-year-old daughter who suffers from seizures was diagnosed with a genetic condition so rare it has no name. >> hopefully in months and years to come more and more potential answers or possibly leads to

medication come to fruition and help in the future. >> one is enough for one person. >> for edward's family a, targeted treatments can't come soon enough. medical experts say the project will enable the development of personalized medicine and could make treatments like chemo therapy a thing of the past. scientists say it may be many years before the research translates to new treatments. bbc news. with me now is mark henderson, spokesman for the working trust working on this project. he's the author of 50 genetic ideas you really need to know. this seems exciting. implications must be far reaching. we're looking at a time it may not be chemo therapy, possibly 20 years time. >> possibly sooner than that. in many cases we are seeing impact on the medical care of today. in cancer and in rare disease especially, the sequencing of

the human gene means it's possible to identify what's wrong with people and target medical treatment. >> can you give us a specific example? >> sure. with cancer for example. melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. it's often caused by mutation we now know in the particular gene. already there's a drug developed to target that mutation which is available on the market. it's available to nsh patients. >> the interesting thing is you're having to understand the character of a cancer? >> that's correct. cancer is a disease of the genes. it's caused by mutations in dna causing a cell to grow out of control. if you can get a handle of what the hmutations causing it to grow, you should be able to

target changes in the cell that aren't present in the healthy tissue. you knock out the cancer cell but not the healthy tissue around it. we're already there with a few applications, few kinds of cancer. if due course we'll do that much more widely. >> what about implications of people with congenital disorders. >> this for me is one of the exciting things. these are heartbreaking cases as the parent just on your film. a child's born with a developmental delay or abnormalities. it's impossible to tell what's wrong with them. parents don't gets a diagnosis, don't know whether their child is going to grow up, die, et cetera. it's incredibly difficult. they don't know whether it's safe to have further children. whether further children might be affected by the same condition. increasingly it's possible by sequencing the dna of the child

and comparing that of a parent to pinpoint the mutation causing the child's disorder. that gives enormous piece of mind. it can be practical useful too. if you see there's this mutation present in the child here in the uk who's maybe three years old but also present in a child in brazil who's 12 years old, you'll give the parents some idea of how that child may develop. even if you can't treat them, that's enormous value. >> thank you very much for coming in and sharing with us. thank you. let's bring you now more on our top story. a three day cease fire in gaza lasted a matter of hours. israel has resumed military operations. we hear from gaza, at least 27 palestinians possibly more have been killed. israel says that one of its soldiers has been captured. we can bring you up to date with the latest lines with bethany

bell in jerusalem for us. can you just do that for us? we're hearing obviously different things every minute or so from both sides. what is the latest? >> well the israeli army says the cease fire is over. it says it's concerned palestinian militants may have kidnapped one of the soldiers. this happened in an indent in south of the gaza strip this morning. the israeli army was working to try to destroy one of the cross border tunnels about an hour and a half into this humanitarian ceasefire. that was allowed under the terms of the truce. they said palestinian militants came up from the ground from one of the entrances to the tunnels. one of them they said was a suicide bomber who blew himself up. there was exchange of fire. now one israeli soldier is missing. the army hasn't commented on his consider. it's not clear if he's dead or alive. the army says they've notified

his family. one senior israeli official told bbc hamas had broken the ceasefire and would pay a heavy price. he said it would suffer a crushing blow. >> bethany, i was speaking to the deputy foreign minister who said he was uncertain as to whether talks would go ahead in cairo today. do you have more on that, movement of delegations going to cairo? is there expectation that might happen still? >> this incident is of course throwing the whole situation into uncertainty at the moment. we do understand that an israeli delegation is in cairo at the moment. we understand they may hold talks certainly with the egyptians. really what this does to efforts to try to work out a longer term ceasefire when this humanitarian lull with just a matter of

hours, it's hard to see at the moment. in the words of one official, it throws everything into uncertainty. what does it do to credibility of ceasefire called by the secretary general when it falls apart in a matter of hours? >> thanks for that update from jerusalem. we're keeping a close eye on news coming in. we'll keep a close eye on the situation in gaza. as soon as we have new things to tell you, we'll bring it to you. now aaron is with us. we always watch carefully. >> you know, earlier this week we had the cracking u.s. growth numbers. 4%, u.s. economy growing. many hoping expecting good number tlchlhere. thanks very much. hello. the count down is on. yes indeed for latest job numbers in the united states. bit of a catch. a strong showing could convince

that america's value bank could raise interest rates sooner and more aggressively. let me show you what we're expecting. u.s. employees are expected to have created 233,000 new jobs in july. that's according to a roiter survey. it would leave the jobless rate at 6.1%, six year low. it would means six months in a row of job creation above 200,000. that's the best run for the united states since 1997. those numbers out in less than an hour. i'll bring them to you live on world business report. let's stay with the world of employment. if you've been watching and you should, all this week we've been looking at the so called

millennium, young people. >> this is the center of operations. >> before even walking into this sweet shop kitchen, the exquisite smell of chocolate overwhelms the senses. chocolate dipped caramels and treats made with cherries is hardly new. difference is all these delectable delights are made by hand. >> the movement toward hand made versus factory made has a lot to do with people recognizing the difference between something that's touched by human hands and something that spent its live going through stainless steel and conveyer belts. >> they make sweets in one of the buildings just behind me. this area is wall to wall warehouses. many of the spaces are being occupied by millennium young people building businesses, based on selling something that's hand made.

it's re-imagining the face of new york. >> the jobs left new york city and went overseas or locat relo to suburban areas. what you see behind closed doors and factory buildings like the one behind us is clustering dozens, hundreds of new manufacturing businesses. >> but before these new businesses set up in big industrial spaces, many set out like this one. she makes soap out of her queens apartment. >> there's high unemployment. businesses are always moved a broad. when you feel like -- if you're buying things made sustainable, made by a small business that operates in the u.s., you feel you're helping us. maybe not solve the problems, but you're making little decisions that are making steps

in the right direction. >> dominic's business was born from a design to find skin care products suited to her sensitive skin. it's turned into a fresh start in manufacturing. bbc news new york. okay. let's talk about this. two years ago, ghana was a shining example for africa with the fast growing economy and certainly political landscape. the economy is facing serious charges. ghana's economy has been hit by inflation rates of 15%. growth is slowing and currency is sliding. thousands took to the veets last week across the country in protests against what they call the government's mismanagement of the economy. the bbc has managed to get an exclusive interview with the president of ghana. she asked about the protests and claims by unions that there is

mismanagement even corruption in the government. this is what he had to say. >> there might be cases of corruption. when the government takes action and investigating them, we have people on trial in respect of the particular case. people have being asked to refund monies that they got undeservedly. where corruption is involved, we're taking measures not only in terms of sanctions people but in terms of putting in place the legislation and the administrative procedures that make it difficult for people to be corrupt. >> let's stay with that. i spoke earlier today with the woman that did the interview with the president. >> it happened when the gold price fell. gold accounts for 45% of ghana's

exports. it happened when cocoa prices nationally took a slump. that's a major supporter. when everyone thought the oil boom was deliver, it hasn't. the sector needs to be built up in terms of infrastructure. that hasn't happen. now they have lost 30% of value making prices for ordinary food and local goods very expensive for average man. to give an average, petro prices have gone up 22%. food prices have doubled. ghana people are feeling it in their pocket even if statistics on gdp don't reflect that. >> many experts suggest if ghana could give imf support in some ways it would be a much more sustainable solution. the economy minister is refusing help from the imf. >> you're absolutely right. even the president when he spoke to us at the bbc categorically

stated an imf bailout is not on the cards. he's gone for consultation with the business community, opposition parties to see what they can do by way of road map to introduce a stabilization program. they're calling it the road map. what ghana are saying it's enough with advisory committees and conversation. do something, implement the plan. they're talking about the central banks stepping in with interest rates. that's already been done but not helping. they're talk oil and gas sector reform. people say that will have long term benefits. do something today, curve the fall of city and rise of prices. >> we'll keep a cross look at that. the airline group has moved to profit the first half of this year after improved performance. improved performs from the spanish airline partner. the group made a pretax profit

of 155 million euros compared 177 million euro loss last year. liberia has been loss making for a number of years. it made a loss but a lot less, 95 a mill euros. isn't they pretty? there you go. tweet me @bbc aaron. world business report in 45 minutes. >> have you been before? >> festival? yes. i got a shot myself. any way. this is the place to be coming up in august. take a look at why. ♪ i'm happy >> that's one of the acts. it is the world stage, mother of all festivals rolls into town. we'll have the details for you. ♪ you love this game. but does the game love you? ♪

audience. our audiences come from 70 to 80 nations. 25,000 performers. 15,000 athletes from common wealth games, 25,000 performers at festivals. we've been doing it since 1947. >> why is it important to have the festivals crammed into one? >> one that seeks coffee shops, two do better than one on their own. people want to feel like there's something, they're part of something bigger than themselves. because there's a natural exuberance created in that festival. >> what's it like for performers at the festival, a create experience? >> like they will never have anything like this in their lives. it's so intense. not only to perform but actually compete for people's attention. you're part of a global creative force. >> is that something you struggled with in terms of the

international festival, competing with wacky images? >> actually not. one of the things we do cleverly is don't compete with each other. we compliment each other. what i do is not large in the way the fringe is, lots of shows. i have big productions. ten people in a fringe show would be huge. i've got a show this year that has 100 people in the pitch and 200 on stage. it's about scale for me. >> tell me a little about the international culture summit. i know you're one of the directors. it feel at the moment there's not a better time to be bringing different people together from different cultures. >> i think it's essential. we started this off the back of the olympic games and now off the back of the common wealth games. i hope it landfall have a life of its own thereafter.

we bring minutisters from 35 nation together to talk about what is role of culture in our lives today? employment opportunity, business opportunities, more importantly the social and community opportunities culture represents? >> you have culture has a unique place in bridging differences? >> put it this way. when politicians stop talking to each other, one hopes the artists can still keep that dialogue going. that's why i think a culture summit is vitally important. >> good luck. i know this is your last one. i hope you enjoy it. let's remind you of news coming to us in the past hour from gaza. we know a three day seize fire lasted only a few hours. israel has resumed military administrations there. israel tells bbc it followed violations by palestinian

militants. hamas is blaming israel for violating the ceasefire. the details from the israeli army say their soldiers were decommissioning a tunnel when they were under attack by palestinian militants. did you get my e-mail?
