>> israel's pause in fighting ends in the gaza strip and the prime minister has warned that the offensive will continue until calm is restored. hello there i'm bras barbra ser. you're watching the rks al jazeera news hour. , the israel offensive will go on. an earthquake in china claims more lives as rescuers scramble to find those trached.

more than 400 ukrainian soldiers cross the border into russia, we try establish exactly why they did that. >> plus. >> the events in ukraine testify to the fact that instability continues to stalk our continent. >> commemorations marking 100 years since britain entered world war i. >> thank you for joining us. it's been just a few hours since the humanitarian truce imposed by israel ended in gaza. but already, there are reports that a number of people have been killed and injured by an israeli air strike on rafah. one child was also killed and 30 people injured on an attack on the al shatai refugee camp in northern gaza. pushed to the limit because of the number of victims.

humanitarian window was supposed to allow aid and medical supplies to mover in. meanwhile, jerusalem is on high alert. a pedestrian was killed when a man driving a digger overturned an empty bus. the driver was shot and killed by police and in a separate attack an off duty israeli soldier was injured in a shooting. for now let's take a look at the casualties on each side, 28 days after israel's offensive began. 64 israeli soldiers have now been killed along with three civilians, one of high school was a thai national. the number of palestinian fatalities is far higher. gaza's health ministry says 1868 people have been killed. injured including about 2700

children, and more than a quarter of a million people are taking refuge in u.n. shelters. palestinian negotiators in cairo, israel isn't there. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the offensive will continue until restoration of calm. what it could amount to is entirely unclear so far the israelis indicating they don't is want to have any direct dealing with hamas and the palestinian factions who are in cairo with geept tryin egypt trt the deal together. it has been a day of tension in jerusalem with two separate attacks one by the driver of a digger which was driven at a pedestrian and green line

between east and west jerusalem and a man was killed. he then went on to actually overturn a bus with this digger and a policeman immediately responded by opening fire. other shots were fired. and the excavator driver was killed. in another part of the city, a motorcyclist opened fire on a soldier, injuries were not life threatening. now as israel resumes its operations on gaza and netanyahu makes it quite clear he plans to continue, there is an escalating feeling of tension right across the country. >> well let's cross live now to gaza and speak to charles stratford. charles what's the latest there tonight? >> we are hearing reports from israel actually as we go to where that there has been an announcement that the israeli military says they are ready to

evacuate their troops or pull back their troops out of gaza if there is quiet. now exactly what this means we're waiting to get more on that. but it comes in the context of what we've been hearing over the last hour or so from cairo. these -- call by factions, agreement apparently by palestinian factions for a 72-hour ceasefire. we understand that the israeli officials are also in cairo, or have just arrived in cairo and will be there to obviously participate in these discussions. certainly in the context of what we've seen so far in these efforts at these ceasefires of which there have been three and they haven't lasted very long, there was a case in point. we had tank attacks in rafah, there were two children who were killed only acouple of hours ago, we -- a couple of hours ago, on the refugee camp in gaza

or close to gaza city and there was also according to the israeli military at least 30 rockets fired into israel. today i've been looking at the food crisis here, what the united nations considers at least to be a developing situation here. and we've traveled south to took at where a lot of the fruit and vegetables, the produce is grown in gaza and the difficulty farmers have had to harvest their crops this time under the israeli air strikes and also transporting them back to gaza and this is our report. >> he and his younger brother try to gather as much of their chili pepper crop as they can. they got up early and want to fill their sack fast. there could be an israeli air strike at any time. >> we are very afraid. if there were an air strike here and we were injured, no one would come to help but this is

our livelihood. if we don't pick the chilis now we will lose the crop. >> this is only the third time anis around his brother have picked the peppers since the conflict began because they like other farmers here and in some areas of the gaza strip they are absolutely afraid of air strikes. air strikes into gaza city farmers buildings have been destroyed. a number of farmers have been killed in their fields or while driving to the market in gaza city with their produce. in another field we find um and abu mohamed. their family have owned this land for generations. they say the harvest this year has been poor because they have been too scared to come and tend the crops. >> translator: the harvest is bad because we haven't been here for a month. there is no water to irrigate the crops. we invested all our money into

the crops. >> providing food for gaza's 1.8 million people is hard enough under the blockade. it is even tougher now. in this gaza city market people are stocking up on as much produce as they can. there were air strikes close by as we filmed. >> translator: the traders suffer because they come under the shelling. there are few people buying too because there are no salaries, no electricity, no water no gas it is a disaster. >> reporter: these mangos and other fruit and vegetables are imported from israel. they are higher now, increased up to 90% in the last weeks. >> in general, death would be better than life in this situation. things are so expensive, and the quality so poor. >> anis and his brother bundle

their produce onto their bicycle. they rarely risk traveling on the road. >> charles, we were talking about those reports of a possible ceasefire being announced, another 72-hour ceasefire. the last one announced on friday lasted what, fewer than three hours? so in light of that what hope do the people of goo gaza have will actually mean anything? >> well as you say evidence would suggest that what we've seen in the previous efforts that this certainly among the people in gaza little trust on such announcements. israeli officials saying in the last hour that the attacks on the tunnels have finished, they have destroyed all the tunnels. and as i say, are ready to pull back their troops. but you voanl to go to the schools here -- only have to go to the schools here who are

fimentd with thousands of people -- filled with thousands of people who cannot return to their homes, because they don't trust these kind of announcements from the israeli military. where are these people going to go in the next month or so looking forward because their houses have been destroyed? where are they going to go in the next month when school starts, there's questions being asked. as we speak now there are drones above us. the streets are clear. people prepare themselves every day and certainly every night especially for another bombardment. there's very, very little trust here certainly in gaza of any kind of ceasefire at this stage. >> charles stratford live in gaza for us, charles thank you. joining us via skype is dr. mas gilbert, a doctor, caves and politician. he was volunteering add shifa

hospital. doctor thank you for joining us. the letter you sent to u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon, in which you asked for a safeguard evacuation for the wounded from gaza. you are calling for an air evacuation corridor. explain to us what you mean tbhai. >> well, we owners about that. >> we wrote this letter, three norwegian doctors that have worked in shifa during this war. the hospital he are completely overwhelmed with patients, and shifa have 40 intensive care patients who have been saved and operated but need desperately follow-up advanced intensive care treatment. the hospitals are so full that they cannot provide the necessary treatment to all the wounded in particular the children. so what we asked ban ki-moon is to establish an air bridge so that patients can be air lifted

from shifa and goofs city and advanced treatment outside of gaza and also that there will be a safe corridor for ambulances to transport patients between hospitals. we know hospitals in the south are completely overwhelmed and the last thing is to have u.n. presence at all hospitals with observers and white cars to safeguard the hospitals which have been so heavily targeted. actually 20% of the hospital beds in gaza are gone due to the destruction from these forces. >> i'll ask you about the physical presence you are calling for, but this air evacuation corridor you're basically calling for u.n. headquarters to evacuate patients. but once again, do you have any idea where they could go? we're obviously talking about hundreds of people. >> so far some few patients have been evacuated to be jordan. some few to egypt. in 2009 a large number of patients were evacuated from

shifa to jeep, to another hospital and air lifted to a variety of arab countries and european countries. this is away a very effective unloading of cases. we need to repeat that urgently. there are so many people injured, there are more than 1800 children alone that have been injured in addition to the 429 killed and many of these injuries are so complicated that with the limited resources turtle of the search year siege the hospitals cannot undertake what is needed for these patients and actually, the leaders from shifa hospital today to me tell me that patients are dying because of insquat equipment. >> what you are calling for is u.n. protection for palestinian ambulances, i mean in effect are you calling for u.n. peace keepers to be in gaza and if so what exactly would you foresee them doing?

>> well first of all there need to be a presence from the i.crc or the u.n. to safe bard the basic humanitarian law for the medical system in gaza. the medical system in gaza has been a target for israeli forces and this is you know not been amended in any way nor by the u.n. or by the international powers. >> feferght me for interrupting but a lot of those attacks -- >> to make sure that is reported all these atrocities. >> sir a lot of these are attacks were air strikes. how would the unicrc help that? >> it would be a strong signal to the israeli armed forces that if they continue to shell the hospitals and ambulances they will be shelling the u.n. personnel and peace keepers. we have not seen the icrc, the u.n. is doing good but there is

no protection for hospital ambulances patients and medical staff who has also been killed. has just returned infrom gaza and shifa hospital, thank you. mean while human rights watch have accused israeli's campaign, on monday it came under fire again during the seven hour so-called humanitarian pause. nicole johnston reports from gaza. >> took his bike to hoza to see what was left, not much. all he found at home was some is oolives. >> they shot the house from 10:00 to 5:00. he went back to get the bottle

of olives. we have them stuffed for children. >> it is hard to believe this was a quiet village surrounded by farms. now it's a waste land. another neighborhood in gaza have been destroyed. homes and businesses under all this rubble. the people who live here are coming in to try to find whatever they can unde find to salvage under the concrete. always lived in h-oza, since the war started, 40 members of his extended family have been killed. >> most of the bodies were dissolved. my urchg some 106 years. they -- my uncle is 106 years. we left him bleeding, his body, the smell everywhere, the smell of the bodies, that killed people, the rubbish, the chicken, the animals everywhere.

>> reporter: in the middle of the house israel left this behind. the casing of a missile. close by, another family eat in the middle of the rubble, next to their old house. >> translator: we have no services it's humiliating. we're going to put up a tent and stay outside our old house. it's too cramped in the u.n. school. >> israeli air strike, a young girl was killed there was no ceasefire here. and palestinian groups also fired more than 30 roblghts from gaza. for many people though, the priority was to get cooking fuel. without electricity there is a massive demands for gas. and like most things in gaza there's not enough to go around. nicole johnston, al jazeera, gaza. >> well still to come this news

hour we're going to have more on the efforts to end the violence in gaza. and after three days of fighting on the border to lebanon from syria. and can the i'veary coast, we'll hear from the coach a little later in the program. iraq's prime minister has ordered its air force to support kurdish troops balding in the north of the country. peshmerga, made more gains. mohamed val reports. >> reporter: it may look like a regular traffic jam but this was a mass emple dust i exodus n iraq. had to cross this bridge after

they fought the latest rounds of fighting in their area. islamic state officials have taken control of the west of mosul, under the control of kurdish peshmerga fighters. >> translator: thousands of people have again killed and thousands have become refugees. the town is controlled by the islamic state. they are killing people and it is a bigger attack against us. >> fighters from the is weren able to gain ground against peshmerga. push back to areas where they could regroup. >> we're now waiting for the president's orders to affect them and wipe out the is. we will not let them get away, we will kim them orings are reacht them. >> but it remains to be seen if

kurdish fighters are strong enough. captured large parts in western iraq in the past months. they launched a military campaign against syria and iraq. lat last time against kurdish towns, they took control of these areas and show kurdistan as part of their islamic caliphate. mohamed val, al jazeera. lebanese army has begun a temporary ceasefire to allow mediators to enter the town bordering syria. the town has been battling, and tacked positions on saturday. 6 and at least 16 soldiers have been killed. jan ferguson reports from

lebanon's capitol, beirut. >> battling fighters from syria. on saturday and sunday military checkpoints and since were seized by gunmen believed to be part of the islamic fighting group. >> the gunmen are everywhere, niche my house, they put a checkpoint there and they are preventing anyone to expwhrer or leave. >> many thousands of peoples live there including many syrian refugees. they are being treated in a camp hospital. >> there is no place for them to go. >> reporter: heavy shelling and street fighting continued on monday as the lebanese army tried to take control and the

country's political leaders pushed for a quick end to the lebanon attack. prime minister says he will continue with the military solution. >> there is no solution with sunni extremist fighters who are looking to bring the war to lebanon. we will use all security forces to support our fight. glvment arsal has been an important support base for syrian rebels for a long sometime. jane ferguson, al jazeera, beirut. >> 2 dozen people have been killed near the capitol, adamascus. government planes have hit the town of duma.

hitting residence homes and streets. key of government says it's making significant progress at taking back sprift control in in korean's troubled east. we're going to have more but let's get more on the soldiers who have entered rufers. be being it's happened near chalivansk. rory challenge has the story. >> the russians say 438 ukrainian service men crossed over ot the night of awg fourth. is apparently they asked for a humanitarian corridor which the russians provided. the ukrainians say they are fed up, feel abandoned and are looking for support. some of them have asked for

asylum. the ukrainian version is this, that after being ambushed by separatists, the 72nd brigd split into one of the brigades, one of the units provided covering fire for other unit to escape. now the covering unit run out of ammunition but had no choice but then to cross the bother into russian. whicwhichever of these stories e true it is a bit of a coup for russia. >> as we mentioned earlier, russia is confident its troops will gain ground in the east. bombs and fighter jet near its border with the country. let's take a look at how strong the separatists are right now in ukraine. june 18th they located large swaths of the area. since then the ukrainian troops

have driven separatist are forces from the area. it's been a month since the siege of slovyansk has ended. barb biphillips is there. >> reporter: not gun shots but the sound of reconstruction. ukraine's army is building bridges in slovyansk. to get things moving again to convince people that the wowrs is now over. -- the worst is now over. but it is a big job and many people here feel they've been left to fend for themselves like ilia whose home was bombed into ruins. ten years of investment has gone, he says. no sign of the promised compensation from the government so far. in the town center, fridon shows me where the separatists had their headquarters. their barricades have long been bulldozed away.

fridon spied on them for the government. not all of them have run from slovyansk. >> according to our information there are some 200 to 250 people including some 50 russian specialists hiding in the surrounding forests. they are still active. and they are threatening to come back and this frightens people. >> reporter: in this battle scarred town ukraine's government needs to win over hearts and minds but it also wants to punish those who actively supports the separatist rebellion. and reconciling those two is going to be a difficult balancing act. in the town square lenin now wears the ukrainian colors. if there are separatists here they are keeping a low profile. at this rally everyone wants to stress their loyalty to ukraine. the leader is leading a discussion about what should

happen to the separatists. >> each case needs to be treated individually. it depends if someone was armed or whether they killed someone. maybe some should be forced to clean the streets. perhaps the others should be sent to prison for months to help them change their mind. >> reporter: cleaning up the damage from a rocket attack. people in slovyansk will feel their town's fate is still in the balance. barb biphillips, al jazeera, slovyansk. germany has scrapped a major arms deal over the crisis in ukraine. the government already put the deal on ice. it meents germany won't provide a fully equipped training camp to russian forces. the camp was in the volga region and to open later this year. 18 soldiers have been killed in fight be between azerbaijan,

since the end of a six year war in 1994. both sides report frequent attacks along the ceasefire line but the latest outbreak of violence is the worst in years. still lots more to come ton the al jazeera news hour including as heavy fighting continues in libya the newly elected parliament holds its first formal section. and as the death toll of ebola in west africa reemps 900, two american dorks are flown home. sporting stadiums will soon be making history, details coming up. up.

what do you think a wifi hotspot smells like? i'm thinking roast beef. want to get lunch? get the fastest wifi hotspots and more coverage on the go than any other provider. xfinity, the future of awesome. >> hello there welcome back. a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera. israel's campaign has reumed inn

gaza. a pedestrian was killed when a man driving digger overturned an empty bus. the driver was shot and killed by police. meanwhile an off duty israeli soldier was injured in a separate shooting. and the lebanese army has begun a ceasefire. on sat sunni fighters crossed over from syria and attacked its positions. well, talks are underway in cairo the find a political solution to the gaza conflict. hamas says the palestinian delegation is making progress. >> translator: the meeting was successful. we have discussed and agreed on a document that includes our demands. later we will meet egyptian officials. there have been positive reaction from the egyptian sciee and we will meet with the

director to follow up on this. >> israel's offense on gaza will continue. >> translator: the campaign in the gaza strip goes on. what is about to end is israel's handling of the tunnels. only after a prolonged time of quiet has occurred. once again we hear talks of a ceasefire a possible one this time coming from palestinian factions, the israelis aren't even in cairo so obviously none of us are optimistic anymore but any chances this might become an actual ceasefire? >> look i think certainly the war is winding down. it's making less and less logical, it is not logical at all actually for israel to continue to bomb buildings and hospitals and schools and so on so forth. i think any country would have run out of targets at this time

and point. and also at this point in time not only for israelis per se but hamas miss also be -- must also be at the point where it exhausted most of its resources. with all the death and destruction in gaza clearly the talks in cairo are trying to get to where we were in 2012, meaning some basic minimum you know humanitarian measures been taken opening up the crossings, allowing goods to come in, minimum services, fishing, releasing political prisoners, respecting old agreements and the likes, right? there's nothing really extraordinary in what is being discussed in cairo. they're not talking about israel withdrawing from all territories occupied in 1967 or anything like that. so i think for the time being, israel is bluffing. i think netanyahu is bluffing because he's playing hardball. he knows what's going on in egypt is serious.

i think he for all practical purposes has delegated his own authority to president sisi who he trusted already with the first ceasefire. >> listening to the kind of language that's coming out of the israelis right now are you noticing a change in tone? >> look, the israelis it seems are divide. i mean i'm talking about the establishment. if you would see the picture it's prime minister netanyahu his defense minister and the chief of staff of the army. it cements like the entire government is absent. why, because the other important minister, minister of economy and minister of foreign affairs are in disagreement with how things are going. they want israel to continue all the way until it defeats hamas. while netanyahu and his lieutenants apparently understand that there is no defeast of hamas. this is an improbable if not impossible mission that he needs

to round up this thing. they are blurring the situation, what they're saying is at best we could withdraw unilaterally and take soldiers here and there. israel could always respond with rockets and that would put israel at a very fragile and very defenseless situation if you will. so i think we will arrive at something. doesn't mean this is going to be sealed going to be done and going to be completed and everything but certainly there are the signs to which rational move towards a ceasefire of sort then minimum requirements of gaza are reached and no more rockets will be launched against israel. >> certainly a ceasefire would be unbelievable good news, we have seen the issues that the attacks have caused. 2008, 2009, i'm not saying business went back to normal but there was a certain normality after that.

but have we croshe crossed the d threshold now? >> they want guarantees that israel once again does not violate its own ceasefire agreement that for example they have signed on in 2005 meaning there will be a real opening of the crossings and there will be some minimum normal life under occupation in the meanwhile. that they will be able to fish, that they will be able to send their sick and injured out to hospitals outside. and we heard from the doctor from the norwegian doctor earlier. what is so extraordinary about sick people being sent to hospitals? how is that in any way tied into some big political or security goal of any sort? so certainly some things need to be achieved. i think the logic if there was any logic for israel's war it has come to an end. i think the palestinians now deserve some minimum human life

of sort and israel needs to pack and leave. otherwise it's israel's deterrence that is at stake. it is israel's security that's at stake and i i'm not going to even discuss what happened in jerusalem. when this is going to multiply the attacks in jerusalem and other places, nobody is going to come to me for analysis because i'm not going to have any analysis to give. this war is going to cut through everywhere. if israel continues with this gaza thing things might blow up, i'm not going to provide justification for anything anywhere. israel will be sewin sowing thes it is planting in gaza. >> thank you. libya where clashes are turning the country into turmoil again. there are calls for a national unity government. says it's the only way to create

balance in libya. rula amin reports. >> they were elected in june but this is their first official meeting. violence is rife in tripoli and violence has forced the army to withdraw. under the protection of a heavy security presence. fighting between different libyan militia, to add to complexity, the head of the parliament has called for a meeting in tripoli, the head of the new government has called for a national unity government as a way out of the current crisis. >> translator: the transition government is proposing an urgent vision to put in all measures to reserve security. that will produce a balanced situation in libya. glfer the instability caused

libya's oil production to drop below 450 thousand barrels a day, well below the 1 million barrels a day it produced a year ago. the u.s. france and others have pulled out days ago. continued to cross the border into tun tunisia to escape the fighting. these jnt egyptians are stuck oe border. the egyptian foreign minister and prime minister have agreed to evacuate those who are stranded. >> we don't have a precise estimate of figures considering there are still many more citizens blocked on the libyan

side, there are 5,000 to 10,000 people. there are difficulties to move them to the tunisian border, we have now repatriated about 2500 citizens. >> reporter: the egyptian foreign minister assured those, that the government is doing their best to end their nightmare. an air lift is underway but it will take days to get all those who want to leave out of tunis out. the italian navy has rescued more than 2,000 migrants. they are both close to lampedu lampedusa, close to libya. the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has again expressed his support for the three al jazeera journalists jailed in egypt. mohamed fahmy, are peter greste

and baher mohamed have spent 290 days in prison, falsely accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. al jazeera continues to demand their release. the number of deaths from the outbreak of the ebola virus in west africa has now risen to 887 and the second case has been reported in nigeria. most of the newly reported deaths have happened in liberia. the government there has ordered all bodies killed by the ebola virus to be cremated. a chartererred plane has arrived in liberia to evacuate an american missionary infected by the virus. i'm joined by tom mozek, frothank you for joining us in l

jazeera. i understand you will be going there too but you won't be treating isht pass, you more have a role in trying to stem the outbreak. explain to us what you're going to try odo to achieve that. >> well, the traditional means of trying to control one of the outbreaks is case-finding and then follow-up in finding contacts who might have been exposed to those patients. and then attempting to get them taken care of in facilities that are staffed by people taking appropriate protection. and by doing that, one brairks the chain of transapplication. >> we were just hearing about how in liberia the bodies are being cremated. from everything you have seen and heard about how the west african nations are coping with the outbreak are you confident that everything that could be done is being done right now?

>> well, i think the issue is that it's gotten to be much larger i think than people anticipated. so hopefully, they are doing everything that can be done. but there's now a pretty large burden to your honor take in doing this. and so the cdc has invited me, i'm no longer with the cdc, i was at one time, to help with a surge of individuals that they are sending into sierra leone to aid the government of sierra leone in doing this. >> and just explain to us. how great is the possible risk of this expanding beyond west africa? >> well, i think anywhere in the underdeveloped world is somewhat prone to this. and i say that primarily because, in medical care facilities, infection control practices may not be what we

expect to find in developed countries. and that's one of the primary keys in how these outbreaks get started. so again it's direct contact with patients. you mentioned that they're burning the bodies of individuals in liberia and burial is another means after the people die, they're still heavily contaminated with the virus, in contact with the bodies also can be a risk factor. and from left to traditional funeral practices that has been a risk factor or a cause of further infections and outbreaks in the past. >> dr. tom kay sacks speaking to us live, thank you for your time. african affairs are being discussed at a summit in u.s. that story is one of dozens of stories that form part of our

new and improved web coverage of the continent. you won't just find news, we've expanded our analysis too. go to aljazeera.com and click on the africa icon. let's go to china, where the toll from the earthquake has riz ton more than 398. the premier li kei kung has arrived. a lake has been formed by the earthquake and it's still rising. adrian brown has more. >> relief and rescue workers are doing what they can but their efforts are being hampered by aftershocks and poor weather. communications and electricity are also down. some search teems have been able to reach the edges of the quake zone. >> translator: all the houses had already collapsed when we arrived. there were dead bodies

everywhere. there were lotle of injured people. >> the epicenter is a town called long tol chan. which rescuers will have to reach on foot. the people' people's liberations involved, the operation will be supervised by china's premier who arrived in the area early on monday. this mountainous area of southwest china is prone to earthquakes. 8 ran brown, al jazeera. >> and still to come here on al jazeera, remembering the dead. world leaders gather to commemorate 100 years since the start of world war i. >> and in sport, as this shot brought a premature end to tiger woods season? those details coming up in just a moment. g.

>> "on the edge eighteen" coming september only on al jazeera america >> it's 100 years to the day since britain joined world war 1. august 4, 1914. david chater is there where they came together to remember the dead. >> they were locked in a war to end all wars. froinlfrancois hollande and oths

were gathered. in all the speeches the message was the same. the blight of war still stalks the world but it was the french leader who raised the bloodshed in gaza. >> how can we stay neutral when a deadly conflict in gaza is lasting now for more than a month. one cannot remain neutral. we have an obligation to act on these responsibilities along with the united nations. >> it was the city of liege where the first battle of the first world war was fought. the german troops advanced through bell jim and expected to overcome the defenses in the first two days and move on paris. british and french divisions, led the way. liege was left in ruins. this huge crater was the birth place of modern warfare's wens s

weapons of mass destruction. just one german shell weight 800 kilograms. many of the victims still lie under the ground here. noaknown as big bertha. they have recreated the sound and the moment the shell scored the big hit. it was a horrifying foretaste of what was to come. >> well, david chater joins us live. what was the main theme that came out of today's commemoration? >> well, those commemorations barbara are still going on. they are happening in mons in the moment where david cameron

and members of the royal family, british commonwealth and french and german soldiers. there were 10 million combatants owher killed in the great war, and seven million civilians. the overwhelming theme from dignitaries and heads of state, that were held in liege, was a sense that there was still so many areas where european leaders, especially as the french president francois hollande said, can't take the initiative, nobody can remain neutral where so many civilians are dying, so many conflicts are spreading across the world that europe must take its place at the center of the conflict resolution, to try to mediate the end to these conflicts. he mentioned the bloodshed in gaza. the problems was when the peace

treaty was signed, this economic and political structure called the european union was set up and the economy, the merging of the economies might be working, but it's almost impossible to get a cohesive foreign policy. i think that this was the overall theme that was arising here. but just remember barbara that the french president didn't mention the billion euros that sending to russia and britain has been sending arms to russia and this is area where the economic integrity and the territorial integrity is most threatened so far and there's no sign of a really coherent policy there. >> david chater, thank you. it's time to get all the sports news now.

here is raul. >> barbara thank you very much. the ivory coast has officially announced renard, given a four year contract, his first task will be to qualify for next year's africa cup of nations in morocco. >> translator: my success has always been down to the building of a collective. the way of success of this team will also be through collective efforts. so i think you come down to the same problem. there are examples of the national squad, there are some players that are not capable of achieving, that is leave me in peace to take stock, to do the best as possible so we can set off in the best possible
