>> if you want free press in the new democracy, let the journalists live. >> gaza's biggest medical facility and a nearby refugee camp has been hit. israel said misfired hamas rockets are responsible. >> hello, you're watching al jazeera live from doha. also ahead on the program. unable to receive the crash side monitors are not allowed to

reach the crash flight of the malaysian plane. a court orders payouts from russia. and all that glistens is not gold. digging up precious medals from sudan's kingdom. reports that a number of people have been killed or wounded, israeli armies said that hamas rockets misfired and struck the compound. our correspondent is at the scene. and at al shifa hospital where a number of casualties were brought in. it's quieted down since we first came to you an hour ago, but do

tell us what you hav you have been seeing over the past hour. >> reporter: frankly, laura, we have seen a very sad scene here. a number of small bodies brought into this hospital. what we understand of the eight hi killed by the airstrike, seven from children. this man has broken a leg and arm but he will survive. still as you can imagine a very, very terrifying and harrowing scene given the fact that there were so many children there. there was a number of children here some of them suffering from minor injuries. you can see this little boy over here with his parents. he was caught up in it. fortunately his injuries were

not serious. he will be okay. hopefully he'll be taken home. but it shows who have suffered in this airstrike. seven people or eight people killed, one adult. seven of them children. now israel has denied being behind the strike. they say this is fire from hamas that was misdirected and was supposed to go into israeli air space. we've reached out to hamas to see what their response was to that, but they categorically deny israel's version of events. >> nevertheless, a tragic event. a playground is hit, and, indeed, on this first day of eid. that's right. the last 12 hours has been relatively calm. i say relatively because there have been some rocket incidents some rocket fires and some shelling in gaza, but it's been a quiet day. i've been out at mosque for eid

players. normanormally mosques are overflowing, and this mosque was two-thirds full which shows you that many people are afraid to pray or have very little to pray for. because it was calm we believe those children were out playing because there was relative sense of security that perhaps israeli forces were not going to carry out any major attacks on this day of this eid holiday. i should point out israel denied being behind this attack whatever the case we've seen seven children and one adult lose their lives. earlier today in two separate incidents a total of four people were killed and a child was monk the dead as well. >> as you see the casualties arriving in places like shifa hospital, these medical facilities, are there enough

supplies to treat them appropriately? >> reporter: well look, the situation here is very lean. doctors here are just using whatever they have to treat the injured, and the injured, frankly, many the death toll since this three-week bombardment of the gaza strip are among the thousand. but of the injured, 6,000, six times that many suffered injures. many life-threatening. many people receiving treatment over days. the need for supplies is considerable. in saying that we do understand that some humanitarian relief supplies have come in over this past weekend. there are international aid agencies providing medical assistance and bringing with them medical supplies. when you consider what happened today and the shear number of casualty that have come in, the doctors here are really struggling. >> absolutely. thank you very much for joining us there from shifa hospital in

gaza, bringing us the scene after a strike on a playground that killed eight people, seven of them children. we're also getting conflicting reports from israel that a number of israelis have died in mortar fire in the area that borders gaza. what do we know about that situation? >> reporter: well, the details are still coming in at this stage, but israeli media is reporting that at least three people have been killed, and that there are more who have been wounded. but as you mentioned conflicting reports at this stage. we're still picking up that information to bring those numbers for you. as you said, this is happening in southern israel near the eastern border with the gaza strip. we were told there were no sirens at the time that the

mortar fire came over and killed these people, which is unusual because obviously israel has its air defense missile, the iron dome, as it's known, which usually sends out sirens and people running for cover. indeed, in this rage it has happened many times before. we've heard in the past half hour there are many sirens going across southern israel. obviously there is action down there, but this all comes at a very delicate time in terms of what is happening democratically. there are question if this could increase pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to order escalation of activities along the gaza strip. just as we heard secretary general ban ki-moon calling for an urgent end of the violence saying in the name of humanity the violence must stop. he was critical of both sides but it he did call in question

proportionality, and mentioning that gaza has had nowhere to hide. prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be speaking under an hour's time along the defense minister and head of the military so no doubt we'll hear more about this incident then. >> absolutely. kim veddel in western jerusalem, thank you. kristin saloomey joins us now from the u.n. we just heard from ban ki-moon calling for an end to the violence. what he's saying in new york is wholly different events happening over the past two hours on the ground. >> reporter: well, ban ki-moon over the last six days has been traveling the middle east and working with regional players to try to establish lasting cease-fire. he has been very strong in criticizing both sides in this conflict. we heard that again this morning in new york as he returned to

new york from his travels. again calling for a cease-fire. and being tough on both sides in the conflict. he said that no country would accept the threat of rockets from above and below. at the same time, there is a question of proportionality. israel as the occupying power has humanitarian obligations. many palestinian civilians have died. more than 1100. 43 israelis, possibly more have been killed. to this point most of them have been soldiers. but listen to what ban ki-moon has to say. >> as marks it is time for immediate, unconditional humanitarian cease-fire. in the name of humanity the violence must stop. since my return during the weekend i have continued with a

number of calls including are prime minister netanyahu this morning. i've had a long talk with him urging him to stop this violence and agree and honor the international communities joint common efforts and call for unconditional cease-fire. >> secretary general ban ki-moon also calling for an urgent cease-fire. so a lot of calls for truce. how do we move forward with these diplomatic of the efforts. >> reporter: i'm sorry, i missed the last part of your question, but if you're asking about ban ki-moon's statement, he did welcome the statement but said that everyone was hoping for stronger action in the form of a resolution. the resolution is the only

really legally binding document and international law that has some force behind it, a statement is just that, a statement. and does not compel the parties to listen to it. and if you look at the statement that was issued by the security council it really focused on the humanitarian issues of this crisis and the concern for the rising humanitarian toll its taking. it calls for protection of humanitarian sites. but the statement does not in any way get into the political issues or the tricky issues that would need to be addressed most likely in a resolution. it doesn't call for a lifting of the blockade on gaza as the palestinians want. it didn't reference the tunnels that the israelis want, so you can see negotiating a resolution, which is a much stronger document, is going to be something that will take much more time, especially if it's going to have any impact on the

players. >> kristin, thank you very much for coming to us from the u.n. in new york. secretary of state john kerry said efforts for diplomatic peace will continue. >> we're continuing the work for establishing unconditional humanitarian cease-fire, one that could honor eid, which begins now, and that will stop the fighting. while desperately needed food and medicine and other supplies into gaza and enable israel to address the threat with which we fully understand and which is real, the threat posed by tunnel attacks, and to be able to do so without resort to go combat. that's what could come from a cease-fire. we believe the momentum genera generated by a humanitarian

cease-fire is the best way to be able to begin to negotiate and find out if you can put in place a sustainable cease-fire. one that addresses all of the concerns. >> and these are the live shots from the shifa hospital in gaza, where a number of casualties were brought in. in the past hour or so we're hearing from our correspondent that eight people were killed in an attack on a playground at a refugee camp, and that seven of those were children. the other one was an adult. i think that is the gentleman lying on the stretcher. he's injured but survived. this was, of course, on top of the total of eight people killed, a number of casualties also being brought in to the shifa hospital. it was initially thought it was an israeli airstrikes, however,

they are now saying this is from the misfire of palestinian rockets. we're hearing a number of casualties with conflicting reports of the number of casualty where we're gets reports of mortars firing from the gaza strip. an hour of violence from gaza and in israel. even as we've just seen the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon calling for a cease-fire from both sides. we'll continue to keep you updated with event as in story as they keep happening. for rennic expertforensic exerts are forced back from the

investigation of malaysian flight mh-17. >> reporter: for the first time there is official confirmation of what many suspect was surface to air missiles that brought down malaysian airline airliner flight mh-17. the recorder shows a deep explosion. making it crash down into the fields in eastern ukraine. this is coming from ukrainian officials that an interpol investigation has yet to reach the site of mh-17. they've been turned away once again because of heavy fighting. so extremely frustrating for

them because they want to carry out a full and proper investigation of the debris and wreckage on the ground. now ukrainian military cutting off strategic supply routes to russia. >> the shotting down of the plane may have been a war crime. pro-russian separatists want to breakaway from ukraine. russia said it will appeal the decision of the hague court. but it must pay shareholders for its asset. yukos was valued at $40 billion

before it was controversially nationalized. it's head, khodokorsk spent ten years in jail before being parred by president putt no on one 2013putin in in 2013. is this a fair ruling? >> well, russia sees this as a political decision. it comes during a time when anti-russian campaign is being basically promoted by the united states. the court and the hague are basically, it's very strange that the court in the hague is looking into this whole issue. the amount that the shareholders wanted initially is $120 billion. all of these amounts are plucked from the sky. there is no basic set of

explanation why thigh these amounts are demanded. the court has made its ruling on the base of the energy charter, which has not been rectified by the russian parliament so iraq does not abide by this charter. i do not see how this is going to happen in practice. >> assuming that russia is in the wrong here. it said that it has evaded taxes. but of course there is a very different story. >> obviously there are differing opinions from when it all happened, but i don't think the prosecutors at the time handled the case in the best possible way. but on the other hand you must understand this was a huge case. from this point of view we can

imagine the difficulties that the investigation had and the prosecutors had, and so on. so i can understand some of the people being disappointed. by why $50 billion was taken--why that particular amount, i really don't understand that. it's also important to remember, mr. khodokorski can say whatever he wants, but his company did have problems with transparency, and did have problems using off-shore to sell its oil. it was not a clearcut case of a well-meaning company suddenly attacked by the state. it's not just an one-sided story. >> thank you for joining us from

london. >> thank you. >> let's return to the news that the israeli military saying that rockets misfired by hamas were responsible for the strikes at a playground and hospital. nick schifrin is live for us in gaza. what are you seeing there as to what sort of an attack this was? >> reporter: yes, laura, we just came back from the site of the strike, and it was really a scene of chaos. so many families. so many people pouring on to the street. anyone who witnessed this attack, there were a lot of crying people. we saw two bodies being brought back from the hospital. and you saw families and people chanting in the streets as those bodies arrived back. now the site of the impact itself residents actually brought us to that site.

it was very shallow. it was only three or four inches deep at its deepest, and the buildings next to that strike site were intact. what we saw were shrapnel marks on those buildings 20 to 50 feet away from that impact site and 40 feet high as well as shrapnel that ripped through some of the cars next to the impact. >> nick, this refugee camp particularly, has it been a target for the israeli military and the park, would it an target? um, well, it has not been an attack in the past, and there is little confidence for families out there. we were there at 9:00 this morning, that's about ten hours ago or so, and there were kids playing in those streets. families allowing their children

to play in the streets oh even though fighting continues two blocks from the impact we saw kids in rickshaws, kids playing with the camera. it is eid, and so a lot of these families were allowing their children out just to get a taste of the celebrations that are supposed to be happening on this eid, which are not happening in gaza. it's some of the same families in that same neighborhood. we saw a little while ago who had to deal with the impact of this threat. >> did the resident tell you anything about this strike, where they believe it came from? >> reporter: they blamed israel, of course. they will not believe the israeli statement that it was not israeli strike. i spoke with lt. col. peter learner, spokesperson for the

israeli army. he was categorical. he said we had no activity in the area. it was not an ids mission, referring to the israeli forces. it handed within gaza short of the gaza strip. when you talk to residents they simply won't believe that, but the israelis are confident that is what happened. >> conflicting reports, indeed. nick, thank you very much for bringing us the very latest on the latest strike that we've seen in gaza. >> trying to gain control over

libya's international airport. a plane was destroyed and 20 people were killed. on saturday the u.n. evacuated its embassy. diplomatic staff were driven by convoy and heavy military guard with jets firing over head to neighboring to you niec tunesia. >> this crisis has caused security confusion. foreigners have left. most of the embassy has left true this airport. >> reporter: the u.s. in particular will be nervous about the infencefied fighting in libya. an attack on its consulate in the eastern city of bengahzi i in 2012 called the ambassador and three others. two years later bengahzi has become a battleground once again. in the past fort night fo more

than 90 people have been killed ther there,, and more injured. many civilians. militia with weapons thanks to the ousting of muammar qaddafi. this have been calls for them to give up their guns that fell on deaf ears. >> three al jazeera journalists have spent 1 212 days in prison. two have been given prison sentences of seven years and the third 10 years for having picked up an empty shell casing. al jazeera demands that it's journalists be freed. an attack on aleppo has left

more than 25 people dead. many were preparing for the eid festival. in pakistan the killing of three members of a sect. the fire was started after rumors that a member of the sect has placed photos on social media. libya haebola outbreak has killed 129 people in the country and more than 170 across west africa. meanwhile in sierra leone a politician has claimed that a doctor who has caught ebola while fighting the outbreak is

what helped to sustain that empire were the rich gold fields here. now a new gold rush is threatening to destroy what remains of kush. >> they don't understand. >> reporter: these are some of the artifacts seized from gold prospectors who unearthed them as they did. implements and jewelry more than 3,000 years old. >> you really want to control all this, and to be supervising all activities in the area. this is ancient history, this area was a cross road. >> reporter: a million sudanese was involved in traditional mining producing 90% of the country's goal. it's a vital source of revenue

for the government, but the prospectors are digging where the kushites once dug. more than 3 those years ago they ruled from egypt down through nubia. they copied the idea of the permits from the pharaohs. there is still so much to be discovered, but the under-funded archeologists can't keep up with the rush for gold. there is also concern that many sudanese don't appreciate their past. >> we'll lose many sites because when we inspect the sites we see the gold miners were there, and for sure they will come again. >> reporter: the government in qatar has donated more than $120 million to republica renovate the national museum and fund a number of digs. the ministry of mining admits to

problems and told al jazeera it has not developed the regulations needed to control traditional mining. it said that it needs international advice on how to manage the gold rush so that sudan's heritage is protected. >> and you can always keep up-to-date with the news. amtion. >> hi, i'm lemple lisa fletcherd you're in the stream. shortening the average 9 to 5, revolutionize the american office. later, the i.q. myth. could teaching emotional intelligence be the missing piece in american education?
