hello. you're watching "gmt" on bbc world news. our top stories. 78 palestinians killed and hundreds injured from air strikes. nine were reportedly killed watching the world cup in a cafe. we'll ask why the world appears to be standing by. it wasn't a thrill enough that argentina made it world cup cup against germany. asylum seekers tell bbc they

fear a arrest and torture as the government threaten tops send home boat people. a big day for a massive country. >> absolutely. >> india's new government delivers the budget aimed at attacking the third largest economy. growth of soaring consumer prices, infrastructure. we're going to find out if this is a budget that delivers. it's midday here in london, 7:00 a.m. washington, 2:00 p.m. in gaza trip. palestinian officials are now saying at least 78 people have been killed and hundreds more injured.

the united nations is warning the situation is on a edge demanding hamas stop firing rocket at israel and urging the israeli government to exercise restraint and respect. egypt has now opened the main border crossing into the gaza strip so injured palestinians can receive treatment. hundreds of targets have been fired on overnight. the most deadly attack. >> the grimly familiar morning routine in gaza inspecting the damage of overnight air raids. this is the town where a beach cafe was hit while people were watching the world cup on television. many were killed. >> i have two brothers here. i'm looking forward third. the rescue service says they can't help me. i've brought a tractor at my own

expense to look for my brother. i can't find him. >> the level of destruction is reminder of power of israel's huge military arsenal. there are calls for restraint in the international community but no sign they're listened to. >> the deteriorating situation is leading to downward spiral which could quickly get beyond anyone's control. >> israel says the air force tries hard to after void civilian casualties. before houses are bombed, warnings are telephoned to those inside. a dummy missile is fired first, a knock on the roof. tuesday a tragedy saying the victims had gone back inside too soon after the warning.

the rocket fire continues from gaza too. israelis fear they've been building bigger stock piles of bigger weapons capable of reaching every city in israel. israel's defense system plans action again today. these show missiles tracking, destroying an incoming rocket in the skies over head. every warning frays nerves on the israeli side and disrupts daily life. the israeli army continues slowly to gather forces on the border with gaza. their presence signal that if israel can't destroy stock piles from the air, it may send in ground forces to do the job. that would be a huge political gamble for the israeli government and would raise international fears about

civilian casualties. >> the israeli army intercepted at least seven rockets fired from gaza thursday. at least 16 rockets have caused damage in other records. james reynolds sent us this report just outside gaza. >> this is one of the most recent palestinian rocket hits on israel. this is an art workshop in the small village. i want to show you the damage here. here's all the rubble. look beyond the police tape. look up towards the roof. that's where the rocket landed. it punched through the roof. there was no one in that workshop at the time. that wasn't the only hit on this small village last night. there's a family home you can't see. it's a couple of blocks away. a rocket landed in the play room of that house.

no one was in the house at the time. no one was injured. this community has been shaken and following israel's military operation in gaza just a few miles away extremely closely. i can hear a drone in the sky at the moment, very high. people here essentially say they want calm. they're fed up of rocket strikes. they feel under threat, vulnerable and want the army to act. >> let's speak to the analyst. thank you for being with us. there is no change in tone from either side. >> no. >> how are we going to get out of this? >> international intervention and involvement. it's both sides determined to keep fighting and not to back down. it's a sure force. >> we're hearing little at the moment. >> indeed. the united nations said today

it's beyond and nothing to secure. they are meeting later today to discuss the resolution calling both sides to stop it immediately. the danger is escalation. the casualties will will spiral. >> there's criticism of the united nations in this conflict. who could influence both sides? >> egypt can play a major role. it played in the past a major role. their own interests that this kind of war won't escalate. it will affect the state in egypt because the hamas is of the muslim brother hood. when egyptian people see casualties in gaza, as always the united states could put pressure on israel.

there's enough international players if they want the european union. my guess is they want israel hit hamas a few days as long as there are not too many civilian casualties. only then. we've been in this scenario so many times. the problem is not only what's happening now. the problem is not addressing the root causes of the conflict. the bigger picture is the problem. >> if there's no end to occupation, no resolution of security forces, we probably will hear again and again discussing the same issue. >> we have not heard much from president obama. he said both sides need to take risk. is that part of the problem? neither side is prepared to do that? >> absolutely. they're not ready to take risks

with own con stitstituentconsti. it's not you get exactly what you want, but rather peace less than perfect than the current situation. i think it expects to get worse and then go tell constituenciec. governments address their own issues. let's not forget the president of palestinians actually the only one that talks seriously act peace. >> thank you very much for joining us. do follow correspondents in the region tweeting regularly on this. james reynolds is at james e reynolds and on the website. all the latest developments are there including reports on

today's activities, rocket attacks on both sides. let's bring you up to date with other news. a gun man has shot six people, four children in the american city of texas. it appears to have been a domestic dispute that tloled toe killings. the victims ranged from 4 to 50. a 15-year-old girl is in critical condition. the indonesian president has declared not to celebrate victory ahead of the announcement. he and his rival the former army general have both claimed victory. the police chief warned that premature celebrations would result in arrest. police in brazil say 12 people including the director of a world cup hospitality company have been formally accused of

illegal ticket selling. the department of the public company is accused of selling tickets allocated to team officials. let's bring you more on the world cup. what's happening on the field after tuesday. astonishing game between brazil and germany. argentina's semi final was a bit of an iron fist. let's look at what fans were saying. this from south africa. germany has officially ruined any other world cup watching experience. and used the #boring. here's another one. another boring game. can someone wake me up when it's done. let's go to ben. did you fall a sleep during the game or gripped?

>> certainly though the gripped. it was definitely tedious. very disappointing. no goals, hardly shots on goals. almost a ground on wars penalties. when it came to no penalties, the dutch missed two of those. ramiro was the hero in the argentina goal. fanses went crazy. one of the talking points in the game was the argentina midfielder. he was apparently allowed to play on some medical experts wondering why he was allowed to play on. there's been controversies like this before with people who seem to be. argentina is through to their first world cup final since 1990. of course there's been dancing in the streets. alex was with some of the fans.

>> thank you very much. >> we're going to take them man. >> i love this wig. best wig ever. >> we will win. >> can you win? >> messe is the best. >> he's not playing well? >> we're winning. >> to end the the final, the fourth time you played germany. can germany play and beat brazil 7-1? >> it's been a horrible night. i think this side is going to be partying for a long time. i'm going to take this wig off now. >> some crazy argentina fans

there. let's talk to the anthropologist here. is this the worst nightmare to have argentina, brazil's closest football rival in the final here in brazil? >> yes. it was that match against germany that was an exception. being at the final match. things could always be worse. we could have 7-1 in the final match. >> how are brazilians taking the fact they were thrashed by germany? are they philosophical about it? >> brazilians are not used to this. throughout century history the brazilian team always plays wonderful football. it was always one of the favorites. people are not used to this.

it was a great exception. people were expecting a title not a seven run defeat. >> they're making jokes about it aren't they? >> that's the way to deal with it. not to give too much importance for a football match after all it is a football match. many things were being played. it was an important match. but brazil entered in and like it was boxing competition. the first blow knock brazil out. the four or five that followed were a sequence. >> what are brazilians saying, what jokes are they making about the fact they were hammered? >> they are saying this team has promised brazilians to forget 1950s.

they promised to write their own page on football history. they did it. >> 1950 is when brazil lost the final in brazil to uruguay. that was a scar on the nation for years. >> the situation was different. at brazil had no reputation in national football. brazil was willing to show the world as a nation of promise, as a nation that was not afflicted by war. there could be great importance for the future. they lost in the final, put an end to this dream. made brazil react by winning five world cups. >> unfortunately they're not going to win six here in brazil. >> the dream is over. >> the dream is over for this

world cup for another four years. it will be argentina or germany after the extraordinary seven goals against brazil. follow the action here in rio on twitter. join the conversation with us. #bbcworldcup. you can get the latest on our website, bbc.com/news/worldcup. you can follow me on twitter @ben brown bbc. lucy, back to you. >> ben, thanks for joining us. i like the lates latest #myworldcupseat. tweet where you've been watching from. still to come, you better believe it. two years probation, anger management and a big fine. we'll look at the transformation of justin bieber from child star to music's bad boy.

it was just a silly prank according to the pop sensation justin bieber's lawyer. that's not the view the judge took. the client lobbed eggs at a client's house. the 20-year-old singer has to cough up 80,000 in damages, do community service and attend anger management classes. what is going on with justin? >> to be fair, he is going through his formative years. he's a teenager still. well more importantly when he was supposed to be doing what most normal teenage kids were doing, he was traveling the world performing. it's understandable he would see

lobbing eggs as nothing. where he lived houses were worth millions so lobbing an egg causing damage would cost a lot of money. parents of fans might forgive him for one, but now there's a string of things. >> he has been -- the charges against him for dui and drinking in miami have been dropped. he's also facing a court case in toronto for allegedly attacking a limousine driver. he's had a tough year. he's been accused of stealing a mobile phone. he had to apologize twice for making racist jokes in 2011. a video surfaced earlier this year. >> is he talented or just a manufactured pop star? >> you could not call justin bieber a manufactured pop star.

he started singing and imbrlati stars he loved at the young age of 12. he has been scouted by and worked with a number of huge artists. he writes his own music. we're expecting more music from him at the end of the year. >> he's been in the studio? >> of course. >> thanks for joining us. the australian immigration minister rejected claims by asylum seekers that they were mistreated by australian officials. this is a day after 41 migrant rps sent back to sri lanka and appear in court. >> asylum seekers bring with them stories of torture since the civil war. they're too afraid to show faces because of incrimination against their families back home. the australian government return of 41 asylum seekers to sri

lanka authorities and interception of a second boat have caused great distress. >> i am worried said this 22-year-old man. if i go home i'll be arrested and harshly treated. my family will be in danger. refugee advocates say the persecution is well documented even though the war is over. >> disappearance, detention, torture, women assaulted. >> one of the asylum boats set sail from southern india. the fate of 153 on board will be decided by australia's high courts. a temporary injunction is preventing the government from sending them home. australia's immigration minister scott morrison says international laws are not being

broken. the asylum seeker returned to sri lanka and will have refugee claims assessed. >> the interception of votes is ignited in a did debate here. there are those that bring the australian government policies are harsh. while others including migrants insist that boat people are not welcome. >> i feel sorry for kids, but enough boats coming. >> you've got to be a true refugee and wait in line like other refugees are doing ralthe than trying to get on the boat and slide in that way. >> if you're genuine, come in the proper way. >> four years ago dozens of asylum seekers died when their boat crashed into the rocks on

christmas island. despite dangers and government policy, some are still willing to risk everything to reach australia. some breaking news to bring you on the middle east conflict. we are just hearing from israel's day areally newspaper. a quote from the israeli prime minister netanyahu. he has said will there's no prospect of a cease fire with hamas and gaza. no prospect of a cease fire in gaza. he was asked by a member of the israeli foreign affairs and events committee whether he was in contact with egypt or any other country, he said i'm not talking about a serious nier ce. hundreds have been injured in the international community.

i'm lucy hockings. in this hour, one month on from sunni militant's dramatic take over of iraq's city, we look at the role iran is playing in the conflict. how to take a photo of power of thought alone. we'll look at inventor who made it reality. >> aaron is here looking at expensive cities in the world. >> that's our question, what what's the most expensive city in the world? we've got the results.

it looks at cost of living in 211 cities in across five continents. the results may surprise you. welcome back to "gmt." it is one month today since the sunni militant group isis took control of iraq's second largest city mosul. since then there's been heavy fighting across the country as government forces try to stop the advance of isis troops. u.n. puts the death toll over 1,000 for june with hundreds of thousands forced to three their homes. on the 10th of june, troops took over mosul and a day later took over tikrit. it's an hour's strive from baghdad. on the 29th of june, isis declared isis islamic state in

syria and iraq. they called on people to come take up arms. on the first of july, the parliament ended with no agreement on the key post, prime minister, president and speakers. isis controls vast areas in the north and west of iraq. the self-proclaimed islamic state extends from the syrian province to iraq. this yellow territory you can see a is the territory in which isis is currently operating. let's take you live to baghdad now. we can speak to the editor of the persian service who is there for us. getting reports today that sunni militants have managed to get hold of radioactive material. they are so brash they seem to be getting bolder. is there any sign they're being stopped at all? >> lucy, there's the issue of

the iranians has fallen in the hands is not as serious. u.s. officials are saying this amounts to 40 kilograms of uranium that have been stolen from a university. it's not a breech, doesn't impose threat to anymore. nevertheless even if they wanted to to, terrorists couldn't probably make use of that unless they got through the whole process of enrichment. >> stay with us. the conflict in iraq influences the entire region. in a moment we'll rejoin him and talk more about iran's role in iraq. first here's a reminder of history between the two

countries.

that's a look at the history of the conflict. can you explain now then how involved iran is in the conflict in iraq? >> well iran is a major stakeholder here in power in iraq. iranians have put a lot of effort in the last 11 years to make sure that there is a pro

iranian shia government in place in baghdad. any threat to that state is a major blow to the iranians. iranians are not worried yet although they are concerned about the isis and its progress and advance. they think the shiite militias, there are several. many are like armies having a lot of arms and men in them. so they think that these shiite militia groups can do the job. there's no reason for iran to put boots on the ground. although they have said they send advisors to iran to coordinate these various groups and to make sure that they are

well armed. arm and money is widely thought here is coming through iron to shiite militias, fighting in fact a lot of fighting in the north of baghdad done by shiite groups. >> can i ask you about how involved iran is in the politics of iraq and government in baghdad that appears to be in complete disarray. do they support maliki? >> well, nouri maliki's government is not himself very popular here and a broad. a lot of sunni groups, kurdish and shi groups have thinking what is happening today in the north and west of the country is the result of the sectarian policies of this government.

that maliki has to go. the iranian policy on that is basically that they are happy to see him replace by another person who acceptable to shia group as well as other groups if done within frame work of the results of the april elections here. they're not going to go full force backing mr. maliki. they know mr. maliki these days doesn't enjoy enough support to sustain a stable government. >> thanks for joining us with your analysis from baghdad. . want to bring you details of a leaked official document in france about alleged al qaeda plot one year ago to blow up the eiffel tower and other landmarks this. document says a nigerian

national was in internet contact with an islamist about bombing several landmarks and nightclubs. the french government started a new anti-terrorism bill. let's bring you up to date on business. aaron has that for us. >> big promises, a big budget. tough challenges because there are huge issueses facing asia's third largest economy. good to see you. hello there. bitter medicine, what is what modi has warned his country needs to get the economy back on track. back in may, he gave promises of reform. today we found out what that medicine was when his finance minister arun jaitley delivered

the first budget. it's weak economic growth. he told parliament india's economy would grow at a rate of 7-8% in three to four years and announced the government would increase the caps on foreign investment on defense and insurance sectors to 49%. that's lifting up from 26%. then there's the problem of inflation. consumer prices were up almost 10% last year driven by food prices. that of course hits ordinary indians pretty darn hard. the budget contains plans for more targeted food and petroleum subsidies. they have warned they may cut india's rating if it doesn't reign in finances. >> great to see you. let me start with this.

you're on the ground speaking to indians. how is the budget going down? what's the reaction to it? >> well let me tell you what the stock markets of the country ended in the red. i've been speaking to lots of people from the world of business. i think what i've heard most aaron over the last few hours is that they felt this was a budget in the right direction, government showed the right intention. as far as details and some of the bold moves people were expecting simply because of kind of majority in which the government vote into power, they didn't see. that they were expecting more details, particularly on controlled spending for example. the finance minister said he cannot afford to spend more than it can afford to. he said that the subsidies need

to be better targeted. there were no details on how he was going to cut down on spending. >> i hope you can hear me now. talking of spending, one of the issues facing the government there is the subsidies. subsidizing the millions of poor in food, fuel, fertilizer. the government can't afford to continue the way it's going. it still needs to subsidize right? >> it is. it's a $40 billion subsidy bill on food, fertilizer and fuel. now in a case like now, because of the iraq crisis, oil prices have gone up. india enforced 70% of oil it needs. that bill becomes fatter. as far as food is concerned, the fact is india has to deal with other problems. we have huge levels of hunger, malnutrition. it cannot just take away that subsidy all together. it has to strike a tricky

balance. one of the things people said they would cut down on is fuel subsidies. that would make a lot of things more expensive. they have not said that in the budget although in the last one month, we have seen petro have gone up. >> for now we've got to go. we'll continue this chat. what's the most expensive city in the world? it might surprise you but according to an annual survey, it is this place here in angola. this is the second year in the row. it's followed by n'djamena in

chad. hong kong was in third place followed by singapore. for many of viewers of course even us, we've got to break it down. notice things that cost. everyday items. what i've done is taken a pair of jeans. how much is a pair of jeans co? $240. here in london, $124 and cheaper in new york a pair of jeans costing $56. importing goods, currency fluctuations and spending habits had a large part to play. >> this survey is designed looked at international goods and services to give you a live example. if you were moving from america to uk and go to a local super market and shop for tea. you might pass the institution of uk and go to something more

familiar to you. that will come an a premium cost. th >> what do you think of that? >> follow me on twitter. thanks. >> i wonder where you get your jeans from. i can take you somewhere. >> $20 jeans. i'm cheap. ask my wife. thanks very much. stay with us on bbc world news. no longer the touch of a button but flash of a sword. imagine taking a photo and upload it by thinking about it. the technology is here. we'll have the inventer here on "gmt" to explain. yeah but you'll regret it.

them. this is just really adding to what they do. >> there's going to be people that say this represents a massive threat to our privacy. i don't want to see someone wearing this and think, they could be taking a picture of me without me knowing it. >> we're kind of able to do that any way with our phones and google glass. this doesn't do it in any different way. the question still exists. it's a political question really. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> those boundaries between what is private and public are shifting all the time. thank you very much. an exhibition has opened in new york that shows art work from one of the best known children's books of all time. it was published first in 1939

like madeline in the hat and coat. she's at the zoo. you can see the idea coming together then. >> he came here when he was 16 and went downtown which was the cool scene at that time. fell in love with the city, lived here, played here, worked here all his life. >> he was a flop in school. he failed every examine he took. he got in trouble with the law. he was kicked out of germany when 16 years old. he came to america as a young immigrant alone and made his way. . madeline is a sad childhood redone in a happy way. >> madeline is not french. she's got the american characteristics. if you look at it as an american girl loose in paris, you get the

book in a completely different way. then there's the great picture of the tiger at the zoo. she says poopoo. it has bravery, not caring, so many different elements combined to make it almost perfect for a kid's book. >> madeline has created her own empire. she appears in movies. there are madeline dolls. a friend commissioned to paint 15 murals on his yacht the christina. in 1999 the 15 paintings sold for $600,000, the price of the yacht. >> madeline will continue on after i'm no longer doing madeline books. the next is probably a tv series
