abandoning attempt to reaching the mh17 crash site. all that glitters is not gold. sudan's ancient kingdom. we beginning in gaza where attempts to bring an end to a 22-day siege continue to falter and an attack on a hospital in gaza and nearby refugee camp. both sides accuse each other of being responsible. meanwhile, at least 4 israeli are killed. the latest violence comes as u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon issued another statement calling for a ceasefire. he says the israeli and palestinian leaders were acting immorally by allowing their citizens to suffer.

israel must be ready for the a lengthy campaign he says. >> we have to be patient. we have to have resolve. so we can continue the struggle against the murderous terrorist organization that seeks to destroy us. even as i speak, we are continuing the operation to destroy the tunnels of terror, and we will not finish this operation without doing that. >> kim vanel has more on that. kim, the message from prments benjamin netanyahprimeminister .

>> the defense minister saying, we will continue to better, to hit hard hamas. then the chief of the military coming out and saying that this in the coming days that the military will be intensifying operations. also, i think what's important that we heard from benjamin netanyahu, talking more about these tunnels, want the israeli military and israel calls terror tunnels. he says they will continue to destroy tunnels and in fact that this is the entire purpose, and that the entire purpose of these tunnels is for the killing of israeli citizens. and that the destruction of these tunnels were the fulls in compulsory step in the demill dl demilitarization of the gaza strip. >> to be calm and patient for the operation, do they have the

appetite of a more promilitary campaign in gaza? >> i think you go out talking to people and you read polls and at this stage very much israeli public opinion is on the side of, they support this military campaign and people genuinely feel like their lives are in danger and they're always hearing about from the israeli military about the number of rockets being fired, the number of tunnels being discovered and they do hear sirens. people in israel particularly southern israel have to run for cover, this is part of daily life right now. this fiedz into th needs into tg support. while soldier deaths are felt, military service is mandatory in israel, everyone is a soldier or

knows a soldier. the number of soldier casualties, 43 have been killed at this stage, have done little to change orturn the tide of the thought that is supporting the government. >> kim vanel in jerusalem. hearing from prime minister netanyahu, there was an attack on thealshifa hospital. what have you been hearing and witnessing today? >> reporter: hi there, what i should say we should hear from hamas. hamas responded from these statements of benjamin netanyahu saying they are not afraid, of these attacks which continue to

bombard gaza. they are saying they've resolved to fight and that those israeli deaths today were in response, in retaliation to the number of children who were killed earlier today, as you were saying there was an air strike here in gaza just outside one of the refugee camps. we understand the number of children were playing there. eight people were killed, seven of them children. so hamas saying not only are they not afraid about these comments from prime minister benjamin netanyahu, they are also going to continue the fight. and indeed that assault which resulted in the deaths of those israelis they say in response to the killing of those children. >> right, hamas remains defiant. they're vowing to fight on, and the eid holiday gms on. goes on. what is the atmosphere or mood like there in gaza?

didful peopldid many people ven? >> i went to eid prayer and it was a very solemn scene. most of the places around gaza it is a time of celebration on eid, people going to visit family to share food and gifts and indeed at eid prayers, mosques are filled to the brim, people have to come out to the street, it is filled to the brim. but at the eid celebration i was attending it was only three quarter full. those seven children who died in the air strike, conflicting who caused it, but made this eid much more difficult for the people of gaza who are already

suffering enormously. >> thank you. bombardment continues, as we were saying, the festival marks the end of the holy month of ramadan. traditionally it is a time to celebrate but of course with the death toll mounting and thousands left homeless there's little about eid to enjoy. charles stratford reports. >> the resilience of the people of gaza is astounding. after a month of fasting, foregoing food and water all day, while israel's bombs destroy their lives, they buy whatever gifts they can afford. eid is a special time for children. but there is little if anything to celebrate here. uma is shopping for her seven-year-old son. >> we can't celebrate eid under these conditions but the children wants toys. they don't understand the bombs and attacks.

>> reporter: a walk through the pediatric wards of the hospital is shocking. seven-year-old maha cannot move because she has shrapnel lodged in her spine and neck. the israeli air strike killed her mother and two of her sisters and destroyed their family home in shezayia. when families come together there is a lot of focus on children. well, when you speak to the children in the hog, you realize there is very, very little to celebrate in gaza the end of this ramadan. in another ward we find thre three-year-old ahmed. he moved for safety to a school. ahmed was injured when the israeli military targeted the

school soon after. >> translator: there is going to be no eid this year because my house no longer exiflts. exists. it was destroyed. we will try make a shelter nearby but how can you celebrate eid like this. >> there is an incoming sound of a missile. bombs nearby in the half hour we were in the hospital. a traditional ramadan lantern made of paper hangs in the pediatric corridors. a reminder this should be a time of joy. before we left we met six-year-old raman injured when her family's home was destroyed. also her mother said their home was threatened in an israeli air strike. i want to stay here and look after my baby, she tells me. there will be no eid for us this year, she tells me.

charles stratford, al jazeera, gaza. >> humanitarian ceasefire is the basis upon which a longer truce can be achieved, says john kerry. >> we believe the momentum generated by a humanitarian ceasefire is the best way to begin to negotiate and find out if you can put in place a sustainable ceasefire. one that addresses all of the concerns. the long term concerns as well. begin to talk about the underlying causes of the conflict in gaza. >> patty culhane, tell us what more that john kerry had to say, that fails to bring about the longer truce that he speaks of. >> well again, the white house and secretary of state john kerry saying there needs to be a ceasefire. now it's important to point out

that none of them were specifically able to comment about prime minister benjamin netanyahu's comments because the white house was briefing as he was talking. but they are falling back on the line there needs to be a ceasefire. the white house is making it very clear to reporters that they are not happy with israel. and before the camera they had some tough words. they know that secretary of state john kerry has been criticized in israel by the press by pundits and politicians behind the scenes and that his draft ceasefire proposal was leaked. and surprised. this is certainly not the way allies and friends treat each other so obviously some concern. they are pushing back on israel on the idea that it was a weak proposal. they are saying this was just the egyptian proposal that the israelis had agreed to in the past and disarmament was a new

condition basically, they agreed to not have disarmament as part of the proposal. state department saying in front of the camera they are not happy, behind the camera they said they needed tougher language. >> prime minister last night, immediate and un, ceasefire, today we hear benjamin netanyahu talking about a more protracted military situation in gaza. is he able to bring this currently violence to an end? what is the feeling where you are? >> reporter: there is a feeling by those who are close to the israeli lobby, putting out articles saying that the israelis are at risk of losing american public opinion. they are saying that social media has changed the way this

story is covered in the united states and they are warning that israel is at risk of losing an entire generation, the younger generation, and polls back that up. they say young people in the country overwhelming side with the palestinians in this conflict. they are warning prime minister netanyahu not to go any further. it is obvious there is a big concern in this country over what obama could do, what public opinion is doing. we've seen this israeli rally, big meetings in new york, washington, d.c. trying to shore up support. i think it's important to remember the history between barack obama and benjamin netanyahu. had the u.s. didn't do anything except give israeli more money for iron dome. then 1967 lines with swaps, prime minister netanyahu in the oval office rebuked the president and basically said no. now we are back to the u.s.

calling for something netanyahu said no. the question is does the u.s. do what it's done in the past, simply ignore it or do they make serious demands. that we're about to see in the coming hours or days. >> is there an appetite patty for series demands to be made? we know the kerry plan was initially a week long truce, un, truce, and further negotiations would be discussed, the lifting of the embar go on gaza. but there needs to be trust on both sides. >> you can look at past meetings and see that u.s. is looking for a broker of its own. you saw them talk egypt and qatar, peace with hamas without actually talking to hamas. but i also think it's important to point out that the u.s. the bringing up the idea that conditions in gaza have to

improve. and let's remember what benjamin netanyahu said on the sunday talk shows two weeks ago. he was asked would you give any sort of conditions to a ceasefire, will you give any sort of conditions to changing life in gaza he flat-out told the interviewer no, woe not, that that would be seen as a reward in his words to a terrorist organization that would weaken president abbas. he wasn't willing to weaken the conditions. so far we haven't seen them back down and their demand that life in gaza has to get better. but again let's remember. we've heard president obama specifically say that all the time he's been in office, several times he's said it's just untenable, no hope in gaza, the siege needs to be eased and we've not seen that happen. the question is not only can the u.s. broker peace but does the u.s. have any leverage with the israelis? so far it doesn't appear that

they've gotten the israelis to sign on to anything they've said need to happen. >> patty culhane, in washington, d.c, thank you. we've been hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying the military operation in gaza won't be ending any time soon, in fact it's likely to continue for a few more days. what is your assessment of the targets of the israeli attacks in gaza over the past three weeks? >> well, the rules on targeting are actually quite straightforward. the only thing that can be attacked is the military objective. now military objective is a building or an object which offers -- you know whose destruction or whose capture would offer the opposing side some military advantage. now, it's prohibited to launch attacks on targets which are not military targets. but we realize that you know

when an attack is launched against a military target or a military objective there could be some damage done to this building population that really must not be excessive in relation to the military advantage expected at the time. >> so the go bottom line is if there isn't a clear military advantage to justifying collateral damage civilian cacialts then idamage it is unl. yes. >> proportionality, what is your take? >> the proportionality, are excessive civilian injury or damage being caused? one of the things we're seeing here with the israelis is i wonder if they might be applying a doctrine which is known as the dahia doctrine. this is a military dock thin they developed during the -- doctrine they developed during

the conflict, in 2008, there was operation cast lead and it was alleged that the dahia doctrine was used, that israel would use disproportionate force against civilian infrastructure. we saw at face value their causing disproportionate damage and that doctrine and that strategy is in itself illegal, as was said in the gold stone report which arose out of operation cast light. >> sending warnings to residents in israel about impending attacks. >> yes, they are under a duty to do so. this idea of civilians should be warned about impending military attacks if it's possible to do so is a long established rule of

law in armed conflict, 1987 the hague accord, the question is then what can this civilian population do to get itself out of the attack area? you know, i've been to gaza. it's heavily crowded. a lot of the areas of gaza are out of bounds to gazans civilians even in ims to times f nonconflict. so the question is where account gazan civilians go? and to be quite honest, israel should not be launching strikes if they can't take feasible precautions again civilian population. >> university of manchester,

thank you. another top story this hour, libya is calling for international help to put out two huge oil fires near tripoli airport. continue to burn after being hit by rockets on sunday. fighting has killed more than 50 people since saturday night. now fear of a humanitarian and an environmental disaster. sonia gallegos reports. >> reporter: fires sparked by rockets from rival militias. those living within a three kilometer radius of the depot asked to leave. could be a humanitarian or environmental disaster. this is the latest in a series of battles between groups trying to gain control over the international airport. in this incident a plane was destroyed and more than 20

people were killed. the weeks of violence that have engulfed tripoli have forced petrol stations and government offices to shut. u.s. evacuated its embassy. with f-16 fighter jets flying overhead to neighboring tunisia. diplomatic missions have also left the city. >> translator: this crisis caused security confusion. a lot of foreign embassies left through this airport. >> reporter: the intensified fighting will make the u.s. particularly nervous. the 2012 attack on the eastern city of benghazi killed the ambassador and two others. two years later the capitol has become a battle ground once again. many killed hundreds more injured, many of them civilians. the militia groups behind the fighting are powerful and

heavily armed. thanks in part to the battle three years ago that out offed moammar gadhafi. libya's government has only failed to control those groups. sonia gallegos many al jazeera. militia groups stand with allegiance to this man, tremendousism and found support among a patch work of political players and other militia groups. he managed to push towards the capitol, tripoli and at one stage his forces even overran the parliament building there. but he has competition. an alliance are now fighting against him battling against his militia for control of tripoli's main airport.

joining us from oxford in southeast england. how would you describe the situation in libya right now? >> very depressing. the weak government has been unable to maintain control. and gradually these militias which emerged from the fighting against gadhafi in 2011 have turned into power centers. and i think that it's now an open struggle for power. the depressing thing is that there are no real issues dividing them. to some extent of course people identify with islamism or secularism the real issue is a fight for power. what is really sad is there is meanwhile a constitutional democratic development in libya which is on track. they conducted an election last month which produced a national assembly. there ought to be a process to produce a government but it's simply too slow and they are

left behind by the war lords. >> three years ago we saw the u.s. and its allies use their air power to overflow moammar gadhafi. we now see the u.s. and other diplomatic missions fleeing libya, has western policy essentially failed? >> it's funny that you should put the u.s. on top of that list. because there weren't u.s. aircraft involved. >> the nato allies. >> yes, nato, french british and others, including arab league forces. well, that was then and this is now. i was very concerned, i must say very doubtful about the wisdom of our intervention in 2011 but in the end i was convinced it was necessary to prevent genocide. if we hadn't intervened, the forces fighting against gadhafi had no air power and therefore, they would not have been able to prevent him from moving his heavy weaponry to attack the

revolution at that time in the eastern part of libya in benghazi. i was always concerned about the long term political effects. and of course, most western interventions, most foreign interventions in the middle east over the last 150 years have ended in tears. and this is i'm afraid possibly going to be another example. but the battle is not over yet. >> is there anything the international community can do to put an end or at least alleviate the situation there? >> i think the intervention, nothing we could do would make things better, anything we did would make things worse. there are two forms of intervention that should be seriously considered now. one is a technical situation that i'm not competent, if we could help put out these oil fires, that is something perhaps the international community would be able to do, i'm not

entirely convince they'd we could but if we could we should. we circulate go to the security council and try to set up not an intervention, not a military intervention but a mediation process and i think what we need is a heavy weight u.n. mediator, backed up by the security council and the arab league who could give the necessary time for the libyan political process i've already described to develop. that's the only form of intervention that i would support. >> former british ambassador to libya oliver miles, thank you. >> thank you. >> still ahead, russia's record payout. how the former head of the company could be faced to pay millions of dollars. still ahead. sport, how the english premier

champions are preparing for the new season.

>> it's a chilling and draconian

sentence... it simply cannot stand. >> its disgraceful... the only crime they really committed is journalism... >> they are truth seekers... >> all they really wanna do is find out what's happening, so they can tell people... >> governments around the world all united to condemn this... >> as you can see, it's still a very much volatile situation... >> the government is prepared to carry out mass array... >> if you want free press in the new democracy, let the journalists live.

>> welcome back, you're watching al jazeera news hour live from london. let's take you through the top story. gaza's medical facility and refugee camp have been hit by an air strike, seven chir children killed. israelis killed in an air strike also. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel must be ready for a lengthy campaign. aerial support to help put out a huge oil fire burning out of control in tripoli. oil tank was held by rockets, now spread to another petroleum depot. downing of the malasian airliner may have been a war

crime. inspectors have been unable to reach the site of the downing, because of fighting. barnaby phillips reports. >> international inspectors, guarded by splaft separatist fi, didn't get very far. ar tillarartillery and gun firen area where the downed aircraft, more frustration. >> they have a job to be done. it can only be done, if we have no risk on our way there. we are sick and tired be being interrupted by gun fights, despite the fact that we have agreed that there should be a ceasefire. >> the u.n. says the shooting down of the malaysian plane may be a war crime but a nasty war has been raging for months in

eastern ukraine. and the people in this area have been playing a heavy price. >> there is a situation in these areas, abductions, detentions, torture, executions which are used to intimidate the population which is often held as hostage or trapped in this pocket of territories in the donetske and luhansk region. >> the u.n. says the separatists have detained more than 700 people in recent months. alexi is one of them, in kyiv, still shaken by what happened to him sneer luhansk. >> they didn't let us call our relatives, anyone. they kept threatening us wanted to shoot us. my friend's wife was pregnant. he was telling them my wife was pregnant let me go, just please let me call her. they would not let him. they put us on our knees. they did not give us food or

water. there was not even a toilet. >> reporter: but the u.n. says both sides have used heavy weapons in and around cities in ukraine and this -- eastern ukraine and this could be a violation of international law. >> we have just tried to go to horlivka. whilst we were on the edge of the town we could see it coming under bombardment and hundreds of vehicles full of people who were trying to flee. we were detained by a separatist checkpoint for several hours, not allowed to film. more weapons are pouring into the east, there is no serious diplomacy to bring this to an end. barnaby phillips, al jazeera, eastern ukraine. >> let's go to donetske. tell us more about what it's

revealed about the flight data recorders about the circumstances surrounding the crash. >> yes, this is crucial evidence in the investigation. and what it seems to show is that shrapnel from a potential surface to air missile hit the plane, leading to a massive loss of pressure, which then led to the breakup of the aircraft mid air. now, this is coming from ukraine defense officials, who seem to get the information from those investigating the flight data recorders in farm bro in brit britain. the experts on the ground will want to confirm that. but unable to get to the site. they are going to try again on tuesday. they'll need to get there to be able to concern this with the debris and the wreckage. >> and naz, we know that

international inspectors have been making continual efforts to get to the site but it's been deemed too dangerous. what can you tell us about the fighting in that area? >> yes, experts are unable to get to that area, because they are fighting for control of that area. the are is ukrainians are fighting in that area. one of the top leaders of the separatists eagle strelkof told us that the fighting is going on there but also around the city of donetske. >> only one thing. the enemy is throwing everything into the battle in order to completely surround the battlefield in donetske. >> reporter: and we have heard artillery in the past hour, just slows by, in the city which means that the ukrainian and the separatists are fighting into the night.

and eagle strelkof went on to say they are battling potentially up to 250 ukrainian tanks. it is critical from the separatists to get support. there was a direct appeal to russia. we are seeing what russia will do, will they support the separatists and give them the arms they need to fight the ukrainians. >> nazaneen, thank you. northern nigerian city of nakano, second bomber attacked a busy shopping maul killing six. no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks. from kano, raya rago has more. >> two female suicide bombers, crowded line of women buying kerosene at a station. she detonated herself, and

shortly after that another female suicide bomber detonated herself injuring six people. cano had been on a heightened security alert during the festivals, the feast that comes at the end of the fasting month of ramadan. police said they managed to avert a major attack that would have targeted worshipers, but sunday also witnessed a couple of explosions. five people were killed in those attacks. but now authorities say that boko haram had been stepping up their attacks trying to disrupt the festivities, going after soft targets during the holidays. last month mohamed fahmy and

baher mohamed were given sentences along with peter greste. al jazeera continues to demand that its journalists be freed. yukos, energy joint seized from mikhail khodorkovsky. now ordered the kremlin for paying over $50 billion in damages by forcing yukos into bankruptcy. >> the shareholders wanted $114 billion, the court awarded them under half of that, but still a vast amount of money. the head of shareholders said extracting that from russia could get acrimonious. we would expect them to, having exhausted the legal remedies that they have, if and when they fail, then to pay

their liability as ordered by the tribunal and confirmed by the courts. >> reporter: the story of how things got here involves the man who was formerly russia's most high profile prisoner. mikhail khodorkovsky was an oligarch, his oil company, yukos, became one of russia's biggest energy firms. but when vladimir putin warmed the oligarchs to stop meddling in politics, khodorkovsky didn't listen. he was imprisoned and spent 10 years in jail for fraud. it's that destruction that the court ruled against, saying essentially that russia expropriated the investments. to many observers in the west,

the yukos trail leads to one place, but russians see something slightly different. a group of robber barons who came up against a stronger force and perhaps got what they deserved. >> there are no good guys bad guys here. khodorkovsky was portrayed rather brutally until 2003 when he had the quarrel with putin. in 2003 he became almost spotless businessman, challenging putin alone in sort of cavalier fashion. certainly this is not the story that the majority of russians buy. >> mikhail khodorkovsky has nothing to do with the case, actually. he gave up all his shares nearly a decade ago as the legal noose tightened around him. russia's government feels

differently, said it would appeal. >> translator: the russian side, those agencies which represent russia in this process will no doubt use all available possibilities to defend its position. >> reporter: the legal situation isn't over yet. rory challenge. al jazeera, russia. >> following yukos in moscow during its downfall. let me ask you about the significance of this ruling at a time when relations between russia and the u.s. are already very strained over ukraine. >> i think it's significant for one reason, one, the tribunal found in favor of the shareholders which always said this was a politically motivated case. russia said it wasn't, it was legitimate action against tax evasion. but the tribunal packed the shareholders. but the eve of toughened

sanctions against russia and the situation, more politically motivated action against moscow. >> how could they possibly respond then? >> well, it's very difficult for them to respond. they can't appeal directly against this ruling. they can try and take legal action to challenge it. it's not actually the same as an appeal, they can try and block it. the likelihood of their doing that is quite small. the question of whether to pay or not. >> will they pay this fine? >> i think it's unlikely they will pay. it's an enormous fine. but if they don't pay, the shareholders can go after russian state assets outside of russia through courts in foreign countries. >> what are the implications of that? >> they could still get a substantial part of the $50

billion that they have been awarded but it could affect companies potentially like rosnef, which took over lots of the yukos assets. rosnef says it doesn't expect to be vulnerable to this kind of action. and bp has 20% of rosnef. >> ignoring tax violations, you can't speculate the value of the company so long after these events took place, do they have a point? >> the court didn't totally ignore the tax violations. they did take account of that. they said there were perhaps excessive tax minimizations in the case, and the judge in the tribunal reduced the wards to reflect that. they suggested they should have gotten $67 billion not 50, and they cut that by 25%.

but clearly, there were some tax evasion issues there. >> neil buckley from the financial times, thank you. >> thank you. >> still to come for you on al jazeera, malaysia's top squash players, a shortly.

>> now, a woman in the unitekingdom is the first to become pregnant using a new ivf

screening procedures. it allows doctors to screen embryos for a number of issues. >> suffers from a form of muscular distrophy. when she wanted to start a family she did not want to pass it on to her child so carmen and her husband decided to have a new invitro fertilization feature that scans for chromosomal abnormalities. >> being referred to a clinic in london i knew, i didn't know much about it, they said they can test the baby and not just do ivf for you and you will have a healthy baby. >> she's now 17 weeks pregnant and expecting a boy who will not

inherit muscular dystrophy. doctors take the dna of parents and family members, a genetic footprint is created for the mutation and is tested to see if the baby is carrying the disease. an embryo free of the disease is used for implantation. this is where the screening begins. they will remove one cell of the embryo and send it away for testing. with cario mapping the shorter time period is a huge benefit to older patients when fertility is on the decline. >> so in a way, it is an all encompassing test. hence we consider it as being a global method of screening for genetic abnormalities. with the added bonus that you can also screen for chromosomal abnormalities, that are

distressing conditions, at the same time, screen for abnormalities like down syndrome. >> reporter: but this type of screening has its critics. >> those children will continue to be born as well and my feeling is if the affluent society dedicates its money to preimplantation, it won't be providing as much money on providing cures. >> but for carmen she says the screening gives her peace of mind, that her son ha -- is not faced with dealing with a disease that has plagued her and her husband. the tax case against ly liol
