Our correspondent in gaza says at least 8 people have been killed including one child. The car was killing militants to launch rocket the at southern israel. Our correspondent is on the line. This is the worse attack for sometime?

>> Itis, indeed, one of the heaviest deal tolls. The israels strike at a mini-bus on the main road running through north earn gaza. The target was a group of militants who were on their way to launch a rocket into southern israel. Jihad said if five of its members are among the dead. There were initially two missiles fired at the vehicle and a little delay for a third to come in. Rescuers arrived at the site and they got caught up in that last blast. It seems that there were two teenagers described as children among those who died. And there were scenes of grief and anger as bloodied survivors are brought to gaza main hospitals. It some are being treated on the bloodied floors

>> Israel of course maintains this was a preemptive strike

>> Certainly they say over the past few days there have been a hundred missiles fired across the border the palestinians recently stepd up their rate of these firing of crudely made missiles. And it was after he ath of the family on the beach after it was picnicking. The israelis blame that on a shell caused by the israeli army. They are retaliating against those deaths on the beach this cross boarder rocket and israel attacks have been going on for a long-time now. And tensions between the two sides are worse than ever, particularly in the aftermat of th incident i told you about on the beach. And this large number of deaths in gaza city in the past hour is only going to add to the anger and fuel that kind of hostility.

>> In gaza, thanks very much, indeed.

>> Now meltdown, but it's not looking good for the international business scene

>> Its not looking good at all. Japan's stock market has plunged 4% over the outlet for the U.S. Economy which is japan's biggest export market. The index there has now dumbbelled 111.75 percent since the beginning of this year. They dumped stocks with the speculation that the U.S. Federal reserves will race interest rates further. At the close the trading today nikkei down the biggest one day loss in two years. And in south korea, the kosp ifell three%. And in hong kong, the hang seng plummeted 2.4%. Jim fish has more.

>> After a gradual slide in global markets, the news from japan took a turn for the worse. The nikkei fell more than 4% its biggest loss in over two years, it was a case of global jitters, essentially unrelated to japan's solid economic prospect s prospects.

>> Various economic indices shows that our country is continuing the economic recovery, and the signs are that future prospects are also good. We will continue to monitor stock prices.

>> Shares are falling worldwide mainly due to fears that central banks will race interest rates in order to tame inflation. That will have the effect of squeezing the supply of cheap money and thereby deterring investors

>> Officially what is happening we have had some data that makes the market concern over global growth and global inflation. The ferris that central banks will have come and tighten further reduce the global economic outlook and obviously that's bad for being tos. We have seen significant weakness against global markets a lot of in certainty into immerging markets

>> Economists have mixed feelings about the consumer boom in america. As long as americans continue to import goods, the rest of the world will prosper. But while stock markets rose towards new peaks, inflation also began to raise its head. The strict for central bankers will be to bear down on inflation without causing the stock markets to loose their nerve all together. Jim fish, bbc news

>> Here are the numbers. India still trading, heavy selling all across the board. It slashed its edespite the world cup the fact that soany m people are selling those television. I spoke to chris ease in tokyo. I asked him what the send meant was in japan

>> Encouraging figure about japan's economy. There seems to be a sense what is smoking the market is a concern about slow down in the U.S. The only thing you have to remember is that the tokyo index has risen far higher than other interest desks in the last year. When you see interest desks starting to fall across the world, basically, the tokyo market has further to fall. You have a much steeper decline going upon here.

>> And chris, pointing out what is happening across the world. Let's cheque in with the london stock exchange what is happening in europe?

>> A similar storey here in europe. The stock has been taking a trashing. Major markets touching six months lows. The capitalize down 2%. A 11.75 percent loss for the cac in germany. Inflation remains a central concern here in europe. Central banks might resort to hike in interest rates. Key information will be out in just over a couple of hours producer prices data from the U.S. We already heard some bull-ish sounding cments from the federal reserve about the need for rm vigilance against inflation. Any signs of inflation in those figures could actually point to another rise in U.S. Interest rates.

>> Thanks for that. We will be getting some analyze for you from the U.S. A little bit later today. More coming up in the next hour in the next update on the market

>> Diplomatic pressure is growing on the guantanamo bay detention centre. The european parliament is voting on a resolution demanding its closure. The international committee of the red cross is making an unscheduled visit to the camp, that follows the suicide of three inmates on saturday. Its representative says they are not investigating those deaths.

>> As you know the international committee of the red cross is not in charge of formal investigation, we have visited guantanamo since 2002 and still visit regularly at guantanamo. On obviously, when there is such an incident as the suf sides, we would make a special visit as we have planned to do

>> Those who died have actually had contact with the red cross before?

>> Well, the three sides that are reported to have committed suicide were, indeed, registered by the international committee of the red cross, and we have been able to see them at some point during the time that they were at guantanamo.

>> Are there concerns that although they were registered with you, they found it necessary to take this drastic step?

>> We're extremely concerned about these deaths at guantanamo. And we are concerned about the fact that indefinite detention without clear fate leads to their strain.

>> One bomb went off in a popular market area and the police were also targeted in kirkuk. The attack might have been an al qaeda response to the death of its former leader.

>> It is a sectorian mix. This is going to be the concern that this is a series of attacks aimed at showing discord in this, very, very sensitive place. The kurds, in particular, have long seen kirkuk as a place of violence. It is to be a major sticking point in talks that are still due to happen on the constitution on resolving certain issues that were left unresolved in the contusion. The concern is going to be that this is some kind of attack that al-qaeda have been promising in response to the death of their leader. We were told by police that there have been at least five separate incidents, four bombs went off, a 5th one was apparently foiled after police fired at the driver. But a mixture of police and civilians have been targeted in these attacks today in kirkuk.

>> I would greatly wish to have an opportunity to hear it firsthand from the representatives of the union tradition-

>> In his time he was the dominant figure in irish politics. His track record of winning three elections and losing two, suggests he was liked and disliked in equal measure by the voters. Still no one was ever indifferent to the man supporters simply called the boss. It was against the backdrop of the worsening troubles in ireland in 1970 where much of his career was set. The finance minister was accused of struggling weapons to ira. He was cleared at a sensational trial. The fall kinds war damaged his standing in britain.

The evidence was overwhelming. One storey how he spent 16,000 pounds of taxpayers money on handmade shirts in paris. At the end this is how he will be remembered. The politicians whose determination to do well for the country he loved was tainted by his determination to do well out of it.
