>> if you want free press in the new democracy, let the journalists live. >> hello there, and welcome this news hour live from doha. these are the main stories that we're covering this hour. the u.n. calls on israel and hamas to do more to safeguard civilian lives as conflict enters a third week. >> we stand for immediate unconditional humanitarian cease-fire. in the name of humanity the violence must stop. >> unable to reach the crash site u.n. monitors are unable to

reach the wreckage of the malaysian plane in ukraine. and all that glistens are not gold. digging up more than precious metals in sudan's ancient kingdom. well, even as the u.n. general secretary ban ki-moon made that plea from new york, we have reports of missiles hitting a hospital as well as a refugee camp inside gaza. we can cross now to gaza. we go to our correspondent at the sign. and tell us what is happening.

>> i'm at a hospital which in the past few minutes has received eight bodies, one of them an adult. seven of them children. what we understand i is that an israeli airstrike struck a play field near this refugee camp causing deather and we're expecting more ambulances to come here as well. there is shelling in other parts of the city which claimed the lives of four people including one children. we've had 12 people lose their lives in various incidents, and as you rightly point out a small rocket hit an outpatient building here at the hospital, a chaotic and sad scene here. >> we have a lot of people crowded around the entrance of the hospital. are these loved ones trying to get information about the people who have been brought in,

injured, and, indeed, killed? >> reporter: that's right, laura. i was just down there a moment ago, and i'll step out of the way so you can see it is again a very chaotic scene. a lot of loved ones hearing that they may be hearing from the refugee camp which is why we're seeing such a large group. a number of men and women crying, beating their chests in grief out of the news of the death of so many people, the death of so many children. the hospital is struggle to go cope with the shear number of people coming in because the hospital is already dealing with so many after this nearly three-week bombardment of the gaza strip. >> why might this israeli camp might have been a target? >> reporter: the refugee camps normally are targets. 9 israelis suggest that hamas

fighters and various factions take shelter there, but at this stage we simply don't know. we simply don't know why a playground was targeted because that's what our sources are telling us. people who are on the ground. it wasn't just the refugee camp itself. it was the play area where a number of children were. this is the eid holiday. even though the eid holiday is somber, it is really a time for children to enjoy themselves and be out with their friends. over the past 24 hours or so, although there has been violence going to israel and shelling here in the gaza strip it has been relatively calm. i think some people were feeling perhaps they could go out, perhaps they could spend more time outside especially because this is such a holy day. it means so much to small children but as we were saying at least nine children have lost their lives. >> clearly, it's a very tragic

scene there at al fa hospital a gaza receiving the wounded and killed from the latest israeli attack there on the gaza strip. telling us that a playground of a refugee camp was hit, and that eight people were killed, seven of them children. of course, as we mentioned those attacks have come even as the u.n. secretary general has been calling for a complete end to the violence. in uncharacteristically blunt words ban ki-moon called on both israel and hamas to safeguard the lives of civilians who have been caught up in the fighting. this is the scene in gaza now. it has looked quieter than in recent days. but there are some strikes earlier on monday. at least 1,036,000 palestinians

have died. just an hour answer ban said he wanted israel and palestine to work towards a lasting peace. a sense of frustration from ban ki-moon as he keeps making these calls for cease-fire. >> he was tough on both of the parties on this conflict.

he was tough on hamas, tough on israel about the mounting civilian casualties in this conflict. he said the same thing to prime minister benjamin netanyahu by phone. he had a phone conversation an hour long earlier in the day with him, and indirectly he has been saying the same thing to hamas. we're told he does not directly contact the ente intermediate tear. >> it is time for immediate unconditional humanitarian cease-fire. in the name of humanity the violence must stop. as you know i have just returned from the region of the course of six days. i heard extensive consultations

with the leaders in the region in eight countries in the middle east. u.s. secretary of state john kerry, who has been working tirelessly and valiantly to end the fighting. it is my return i have continued with a number of calls to leaders including prime minister benjamin netanyahu. i had a talk with him urging him to stop this violence and agree and honor the joint common efforts and call for humanitarian unconditional cease-fire. gaza's critical condition. israeli rockets have struck gaza. gaza has struck israel.

in country would accept a theft of rockets from above and intolerance below. but at the same time all occupying powers have the international obligation to protect citizens. i was deeply disappointed that dangerous hostilities resumed on sunday. but since sunday evening a relative and very fragile calm on the ground has been established. the temporary weekend pause which cass brought a brief respite to all civilians, it reveals how much the israeli assault has devastated the lives of the people of gaza. >> ban ki-moon talking just over an hour at the u.n. in new york. well, a memorial has been held in the west bank for those who have been killed in gaza. several members of the

palestinian government in ramallah who said that they've done everything they could to help. >> we have been sending our deepest sympathy for our brothers and our families in gaza who are are suffering. we are doing our utmost to stop this situation as immediately as possible. >> still standing by for us. we heard the u.n. security council presidential statement calling for an immediate humanitarian truce. we heard ban ki-moon coming out. where are we at now with

international efforts for peace? >> we've lost our correspondent kristin saloomey at the united nations. you can keep up with the situation in gaza around the clock on our website. you can see breaking news, video as well as regular updates from teams of correspondents in the field. just go to www.aljazeera.com. an international team of police and experts have been forced to abandon a second attempt to reach the crash site of malaysian mh-17. that comes as a government spokesman said that the flight data recorded shows a crash due to a massive explosive loss of

pressure after it was hit by fragments from the missile. we have more from donetsk. >> reporter: for the first time there is official confirmation of what many suspect is a surface to air missiles. ukrainian officials say that there was a massive explosive decompression so basically shrapnel or explosives were brought down mid care crashing down into the fields of eastern ukraine. this is coming from ukrainian officials, to reach the site of mh-17. they've been turned away once again for heavy fighting. extremely frustration for them

as they want to begin the investigation of the debris on the ground. there has been heavy shelling in and around donetsk. >> the human rights chief said the shooting down of the plane may amount to a war crime. the united nations said more than 1100 people have been killed in fighting since mid-april. pro russian separatists want to breakaway from ukraine. the head of the ukrainian parliament commission for human rights joins us now from kiev. a pretty damning report. more than 1100 people killed. what do you make of it? >> reporter: well, i should say that today they have announced that it was the war crime, which means that of those groups which

are acting in ukraine supported by russia would have bee will be found and special efforts will be taken. >> those were the comment directed towards the separatist fighters in eastern ukraine. what about the ukrainian military role itself. she also directed blame at the authorities for not better protecting civilians. >> reporter: well, it's informational war now going on in ukraine. a lot of information that has to be checked. ukrainian armed forces as far as we know in our efforts are not fighting with civilians. there is no sense because they're ukrainian national citizens from the terrorists which are acting within the cities. for the last time we'r we are

witnessing terrorism in the ukrainian army and fighting with civilians, trying to spread fear in the cities which they control. at the same time the ukrainian army is just blocking those cities not fighting with civilians-- >> you repeated that a couple of times that you're not fighting with civilians. may i interrupt because there is a question of ground rockets used by ukrainian military. and human watch say they are responsible for a number of deaths on numerous occasions. >> okay it is allegedly. >> we have correspondents verifying. our own correspondents have seen your troops with ground rockets.

>> which does not mean that they're fired where there are civilians. ground rockets could be used against terrorists but only as a block bust. >> but if you have a respective human rights organization. i am sorry to interrupt but we do have to press this point. we do have human rights organizations who say that they are responsible for four rocket attacks. isn't it the responsibility to investigate those claims. >> both sides are using rocket launchers, and the ukrainian government is supposed to discover which side was using

them. ukrainians are interested in who is using these rockets against civilians. but evidence in our office shows that terrorists are using these rockets in places where there are civilians, and even using them inside the city. if you're a national army in the cities, it's unlogical to use rockets. that is definitely unlogical. >> that's the use of rockets. one more point to make, if you don't mind, talking about abductions. again, a lot of blame is placed on separatists but again our

correspondents say that pro government militia have been detaining civilians. >> okay, that's a good question because our office is now initiating about the use of criminal procedure code under the situation of anti-terrorist operation in the east if someone, terrorists were captured by ukrainian police officers in this direct, there are special measures concerning the imprisonment that should be taken by the court. but you can imagine its difficult to find a judge in the district where military actions are taken. which means that the ukrainian parliament has to adopt a special legislation which regulates this situation.

so democratic regulations are not working so we have to adopt special regulation. >> thank you for speaking to us from kiev. well, moscow is to appeal after former shareholders in the oil company yukos in russia. an european court has ordered it to pay $50 billion. it's owner khodorkovsky spent ten years in jail before being freed by president putin. >> reporter: in russia the story is different. although there is a big part of

media, the so-called liberal russian media which views khodorkovsky with sympathy, and expected him to become a new nelson mandela when he gets out of jail. most likely he was still an olagart with a not very clean conscience even though he spent ten years in jail. i will remind you before 2003 when khodorkovsky quarreled with putin, the western reports about khodorkovsky were very negative. he was called a robber baron, and he has several very bad court battles with his american shareholders, for example, kenneth dodd. in the russian public opinion if he stole his money, then the state was probably right to confiscate his property. >> plenty more still to come on

this news hour including a year after this devastating train crash in canada. can new rules prevent it from happening again? plus a gold rush in sudan, but at what cost to the country's national treasures? and we go to the rugby field. we'll be here with that story. >> libya is asking other countries for aerial support f at tripoli's airport. it began when it was fired with rockets. erica wood has more. >> reporter: a battle is trying to gain control over the capitol's international airport.

a plane was destroyed and 20 people were killed. weeks of violence in tripoli has closed petrol stations and government offices. diplomatic staff were driven by convoy to neighborin neighboring country. >> reporter: a large group of foreigners have left. most of the embassies have left through this airport. >> reporter: the u.s. in particular will be nervous about the intensified fighting in libya and the attack on its consulate in 2012 killed the ambassador and three others. the two years later bengahzi has become a battleground again.

many killed and many more injured, many of them are civilians. militia groups have weapons thanks to the ousting of muammar qaddafi. they have been called on to drop their weapons but have fallen on deaf ears. >> barrel bombs hit a neighborhood on monday morning. it came on the eve of the eid festival. bombs killing three members. the fire was started after rumors that a member of the sect blasted pictures on social

media. a gold rush has taken off in sudan after the discovery of rich new mines. but the unregulated strayed is causing damage to the sites. there is more than just precious metal being dug up. >> reporter: in northern sudan the imposing remains of ancient kingdom of kush are scattered across the desert. what happened to sustain the empire were rich gold mines here. but now new gold mines threat to destroy the remains. these are some of the artifacts diseased from gold prospectors who unearthed them. implements and jewelry more than 3,000 years old. >> you really want to control all this, and be supervising all kinds of activities in such ar

area. this area was like a cross road. >> reporter: a million sudanese are involved in trillion mining producing 90% of the country's gold. it's a vital source of revenue for the government. but the prospectors are digging where the kushites once dug, hacking through ancient history. more than 3,000 years ago, the kushites through egypt down to here with what was nubia. they copy ohed the idea of the permits from the pharaohs. there is so much to be discovered but sudan's under-funded archeologists can't keep up. there is concern that many sudanese do not appreciate their past.

>> we lose many sites because of our experience when inspecting the sites we see the gold miners that were there, and surely they will come again. >> reporter: the government of qatar has funded the museum and a series of a number of digs. but sudan has not developed the regulations needed to control traditional mining and it needs international advice on how to manage the cold rush so that it's heritage is protected. >> still to come on this news hour. it should be a time of celebration, but many palestinian children are spending the festival of eid in hospital.
