7:02 am
16,000 reservist troops. air strikes and shelling continued overnight. this morning as well. the chief of israeli forces in gaza says they need a few more days to destroy the tunnels. so far 58 israelis have been killed. more than 1300 palestinians. yesterday 16 were killed in the shelling of a u.n. school where 3,000 had sought shelter. >> this school was supposed to be one of the safest places in gaza. yesterday women and children were killed as they slept in this classroom. the u.n. says an irali tank struck the building. people here left their homes to seek shelter. they can't outrun this war. this man and his family have slept here two weeks. >> my only worry is to protect

my children. nowhere is safe. all my children are sick. they need medical treatment. but with medical care at bre breaking point, he can't take his children to the hospital. >> desperation here is felt across gaza. more than 200,000 palestinians have been forced to flee their homes because of fighting. some have been forced to move time and time again in order to escape the bombings. >> so with no other choice, people are staying put. with so much destruction here, many have no homes to return to. even when the fighting is over, families may find themselves staying at this school. bbc gaza city. we're going to take you live to gaza later in the program. it has emerged that the u.s. has supplied israel with weapons
7:04 am
during the offensive against gaza. let's look at the defense capabilities now of israel and hamas. joining me in the studio, the editor of defense analysis newsletter. thanks for being with us. just looking at the report and seeing pictures of the school shelled by the israelis or u.n. believes, many people are questioning the accuracy of israeli weapons. israel made it clear they don't target civilians. how accurate are the weapons? it depends. accuracy is down to a couple of meters. that's as close as you're going to get. artillery shells can be guided but they're not. varying 150 to 200 meters. i would say if there's a morter position or rocket position close within a couple hundred meters of this school and someone said we're going to
7:05 am
respond to that with artillery, that's a decision you could question and ask why they didn't use something else. this is not a large area a. there's many other weapons they could have used. i think in retrospect i think this goes down as a pretty serious mistake. >> it's a human being making the mistake rather than the weapon. >> if artillery is coming in, accuracy can be as little or great as 100 meters either way. it's not the type of weapon you would have selected if you wanted to do damage. >> where else do they get weapons from? >> there's a very large israeli defense industry. tanks and personnel carriers you see in the operation are designed and built in israel. they certainly have reputation of building the most technically advanced pieces of equipment.
7:06 am
they have low casualties for their troops. protection on armored vehicles is incredibly good. >> what else is used? we describe the army as being high-tech. there are drones in the air and robots in the tunnels. >> yes, both of those. this type of war in gaza, you can have as much technology as you want if troops go in tunnels. it's in effect hand in hand b fighting. you mentioned 58 israeli casualties. way more than they wanted to suffer. they could suffer more in the next several days of conflict. fighting in urban areas is incredibly manpower intensive and reports in high levels of casualties. you have to bear in mind from the israeli point of view, no one would have willingly gone to gaza. you are saying you'll suffer casualties. from the israeli side, that's not good.
7:07 am
>> that's hand in hand combat. can we talk about hamas' capabilities. how crude are rockets? >> some are incredibly crude. some once you fire, you have no idea where they'll go. some they have gotten from syria, iran and north korea. the accuracy is far greater. as long as the people firing them know how to set them up and target them properly, they'll be accurate within a couple hundred meters over a 50 to 60 mile flight radius. that's pretty good. on slightly lighter weapons, we know they have hold of tank weapons. these caused casualty tities to israeli armor. hamas has capable weapons. at the end of the day, they have advantage of terrain. they're fighting the area they know well.
7:08 am
they can suck israeli forces in and potentially ambush them. >> thanks for joining us. we'll be live in gaza shortly on the program. stay with us for that. let me update you on other news. in united states, the republican dominated house of representatives has approved a plan to file a lawsuit against president obama accusing him of ex paiding power in the way of health care reform. the president called on republicans to stop. at least 20 people have drowned in rough seas after the pakistani city of karachi were celebrating the eid holiday. there was a ban imposed on officials because of high tide in the city. researchers have warned efforts to control and eliminate malaria are threatened by the spread of drug resistant pair

since the introduction of sanctions earlier this year, trades fell by 10%. >> after mh 17, the dutch traders are facing a dilemma. >> i think the dilemma is because the economic reasons more important than let's say the other moral reasons of what's happening there? i call that devil's dilemma. you've got to choose. you can't live from moral ideas. >> last year, russia dam was the largest destination in the world for these goods. they rely heavily on foreign trades. so far, these multinationals have refused to give public comments. we understand they're watching the situation on the ground. 193 people from the neglecter la -- the netherlands were on board this flight. investigators are struggling to

7:17 am
these areas will be -- on health workers, they will be designated areas. security forces will be ordered to enforce all these measures and that probably means that's a way to tackle hostility we've seen from the communities towards health workers and outside health. so far a lot of people defied the authorities and think health workers are coming to villages to spread the virus. the president announced a lot of these measures should be in place for up to 90 days. that's the plan to review accordingly. >> thank you for updating us there. let's bring you more on our top story. the conflict between israel and hamas. we can take you live to gaza and speak to our correspondent. thank you very much for being

in this half hour, british lawmakers warn nato is not ready to deal with a military attack by russia. a report says the conflict in eastern ukraine is a wake-up call. we'll ask how threat from russia is. we go to west virginia to search for the mystery woman in black building up quite a following on social media. also on the program, we are joined to look at what's happening in business. >> believe it or not, this is happening in business. how does man make a career out

remain of the victims were taken as soon as possible. >> like the neglecter lands, malaysia is in mourning. we mourn the loss of all 298 lives on board mh 17. as you watch the first bodies arrive, our hearts reach out to to people of the netherlands who have lost several. the flags fly at half mass to the story of the nations that lost sons and daughters and of our determination to work together to bring them home. >> the malaysian prime minister who's having talks with his dutch counter part at moment. let's bring you up to date with what's happening on the ground. tom is in kiev for us. we're hearing investigators have reached the crash site for the first time. is it the cease fire allowing this to happen? >> well, we know that reports
7:33 am
say that there has been fighting quite recently in that area. although there's two glimmers of hope. international monitors from the osce along with dutch and australian personal nel making the crash site for the first time in five days, that's a positive development. parliament give the proposal allowing 950 armed military police. armed is the interesting word. when we were briefed in the city where personnepersonnel, we wer they'd be unarmed. interesting that they've given the backing to international mission. the reality on the ground is all that matters. yesterday that small scouting mission has been able to get down there.
7:34 am
the real question is when will the fighting calm down in that part of eastern ukraine to allow a much larger team, hundreds of personnel, dutch, australian police to accompany forensic experts to work in the large area of country side in the much more secure environment. >> how are politicians responding to criticism about the rising death toll around donetsk and the east of the country? >> well let's say that ukrainian politicians and the public opinion really, particularly in the west of the country and kiev, even kharkiv where i come from this morning, a lot of people back the war. they tell you civilian death toll is regrettable. most people you speak to are behind the war in ukraine, most parts of ukraine that is. when you go further east to areas controlled by the rebels,
7:35 am
public opinion shifts slightly. in the areas where there was fighting, public opinion has turned more against the war and against the ukrainian government military a. the ukrainian military insists it does not shell positions. we're on the edge of the city in that area just the other day and did see the ukrainian military firing artillery towards the city. unclear what exactly their targets were. the facts are that civilians have been hit. the the death toll is rising. >> thanks for updating us from kiev. here in the uk, a new report from british mps warns that nato is poorly prepared to deal with nato in the future. they say russian actions in eastern ukraine should act as a warning. they want improvements to rapid forces. they say governments have been ignoring the threat posed by russia for years. >> we haven't been particularly
7:36 am
serious about russia last 10 or a 15 years. we've been so focused on iraq and afghanistan, we haven't been prepared for russia, a state that can shoot down planes 30,000 feet, the kind of state to put militia groups in. we haven't been ready for that. should british mps be this worried over threats of russia? >> i don't think so. nato has been expanding towards russia's borders. the two that stand out obviously in the recent history. the georgia war so called in 2008 and now the conflict in east ukraine. those are in fact prompted by russia's reaction to again what it perceived as a threat of nato
7:37 am
expansion in the russia's fear. >> the report specifically point out what they call unconventional attacks, a symmetrical attacks. they talk about the cyber war fa fare and also the fact russia is supporting this in eastern ukraine. >> we've been told about that for months now. no significant tangible proof of that. and you know, if you don't listen to the other side, how do you propose to engage them? the attack in 2007 i don't think it's been proven again. it's sort of -- russia for some reason is a convenient side to blame on. >> does it bring us into the heart of the report in some ways? the mps blame the capacity for analysis of russia being seriously degraded as key part
7:38 am
of the report. is that true, is russia seriously misunderstood now? >> i think it has been over the years and particularly perhaps in the past seven or eight years or there abouts. we're living through a real low in relations. it doesn't need to be that way. >> the report wants as well permanent troops stationed in the baltic stations. lithuania as well. are people not right in countries to be a bit nervous given what has happened with crimea? sit fair to think maybe president putin does have -- is it fair to think maybe president putin does have these countries in his sites? >> even though baltic states have significant russian minorities, i don't think the problem is those may yoinoritim. the problem is perhaps -- nato should pay attention to this -- some of the human rights that
7:39 am
those people are not receiving. >> thank you very much for joining us. thank you. let's bring you right up to date with the business now. jamie is with us. s samsung there with a blow to profits. >> the weakest quarterly profits reported in two years. down by around 20%, one fifth same time last year, $6.1 billion. this this stems from a slow down in smart phone sales. apple's latest model is outselling the galaxy s 5. the currency has climbed over the u.s. dollar many the last year. what should samsung do to boost
7:40 am
the sales? we have a researcher that explains what they must do like using more premium materials in the hand sets. >> compare s 5 with a plastic cover for instance. compare it to iphone or sony device, it doesn't feel as premium as some of its competitors. that has been key. if you want to charge a premium price, samsung needs to provide can disruptive experience or provide a much premium hand set. otherwise consumers just look at other competitors with similar prices and better materials. >> the lower end of the market is increasing fast. basically the market has been growing through the new range of venders coming from china, india and partnerships between european brands for instance and chinese manufactures. those kind of companies have
7:41 am
been able to invest in the marketing and invest point of sale to promote devices rather. they don't need to spend millions. they need to do a partnership, choose a hand set. those hand sets have very interesting specks. some of them high end specks. at a many much lower price. when consumers find similar specks without the price, they care less about the brand. that's been a huge problem for samsung and likes of apple as well in the last couple quarters. now to argentina in the last 24 hours. it defaulted on international debt second time in 13 years. it's been unable to resolve the differences with the u.s. hedge funds. $1.3 billion worth of bonds were
7:42 am
bought at a discount after the country last defaulted. they want full repayment of the debt. bbc katie watson sent us this report. >> while both sides were in last minute talks wednesday evening; a rally brought together people angry about the vultures argentina accuses of pushing them into default. >> a few hundred people at this rally represent a feeling i've heard quite a lot here in argentina. people feel unfairly treated be by the international community. they're giving out posters saying argentina or the vultures, the country won't negotiate. >> later in the evening, the country stuck to its guns. >> the president said this state, this government is not going to sign anything nor consent to anything despite the pressure being exerted. it is going to respect the
7:43 am
parameters of the law and respect the argentina people. >> more than 12 years since argentina last defaulted. it unleashed economic chaos. people were killed in street protests. the plan to buy a house was changed when the government froze bank accounts to avoid a run on the banks. >> we could only buy a car. it was terrible. really terrible. >> will it be as bad? experts say no. argentina never returned to international capital markets after the last default. worldwide impacts will be limited. according to this man who was a finance secretary when argentina was hurdling towards the last default, the situation at home won't be a crisis. it won't be easy either. >> over time you see the effects of lack of investment. you see the effects of a constrained trade with the rest
7:44 am
of the world because financial conditions would become much tighter. that transpires into an economy that might be much more stagnant. >> argentina has taken a stand. nobody is a winner in a country already in session. it will be a while longer until the vultures stop circling. now all this week been looking at generation, those born after 1980 that use technology to earn a new living. thanks to youtube, it turned out to beposting videos online. phillip has this. >> this is colin. he makes a living building things at home you probably shouldn't and posting the videos
7:45 am
on youtube. some of them have been watched millions of times. people like colin are paid by advertises for every view of their video. >> i'm a plumber. in my spare time i started making things. that led from one thing to another. the combination of doing that and the internet growing at the same time putting things online as i made bigger and better things, the youtube audience grew. >> colin's videos have millions of views online. obviously turning household parts isn't everyone's taste. fortunately there are new video blog channels on every topic from physics to even shopping. >> and this is my lip gloss.

tackle the ebola virus. football is about to get underway. the english premiere league is going to introduce vanishing phrase this season following the world cup in brazil. the free kicks and distance the defensive wall must retreat to. let's join kevin now. is this a good idea? >> i must admit when it was first with the world cup, i thought this is going to to look unprofessional. i have to say having watched it utilized by the international referees, it was tremendous innovation and inevitable the premiere league would want to take it on board this coming season. >> it's not just one more thing to worry about out there is it? >> i don't think so. it must be strange to be running around with a can of what appears to be shave ago foam in the back of your shorts.

referees look comfortable. they practiced this in training sessions before the game started. i was absolutely amazed that the defensive wall of players never put one thought past this line painted. it really had remarkable effect. i suppose over the next few months, people have done research into this to see if this would really work. i think it's terrific. >> dow you don't think it affects the flow of the game? >> not really. once you've given the free kick -- these sprays are only used with ceremonial free kicks where the referee has to get the defensive wall back. the time it takes to spray around where the ball is placed, further on where the defensive wall is takes no time at all. i don't see that affecting the game in one shape or form. >> who's going to take the
