you're joining us here on bbc world news. we bring you breaking news of what appears to be the break down of the cease fire in gaza. it's five hours to the minute since that cease-fire came into place. during the course of five hours, we've had incident and counter claims as to who breached the the cease-fire first. there's been a number of people killed according to the gaza health ministry near the border.

that apparently was the border crossing. that was after an israeli helicopter strike it seemed. the israeli have acknowledged they were responding to an attack on the border itself. that's the situation as we understand it. off the back of that, a clear message from the israel areally prime minister's office that hamas is to blame and the ceasefire has collapsed. we've been monitoring the last few hours with martin. it's striking for you i guess how quickly the mood and scene has changed. >> reporter: david, four hours there was relative quiet in gaza, bustling streets, people going about their day willy business. now people are rushing back home. they're warned to get back indoors because this military

operation will resume. for people waking up in the morning, there was a surprise this three day ceasefire happened. it seemed like a bolt from the blue. people knew there would be violation. i think there's surprise it's over after four and a half hours. the latest we have from p palestinians is that at least four have been killed from tank fire. israel says one of its ka bootss in the southern part of the country was attacked and it was responding to fire. people on the gaza strip are warned to get indoors. that means this military operation is about to resume again. >> absolute panic of some people that got in their cars and were driving to go find their own homes in another part of gaza and will have to be a hasty

retreat if they want to protect themselves. >> that's right. that area is behind me along the israeli border with gaza. about 40% of that territory has been evacuated as israel moved in. the reason it moved into there is that's where the tunnels are dug. hundreds if not thousands of homes have been destroyed. people had taken the opportunity with the lull in fighting to go out there and see whether or not their homes are standing. they'll all head back to the city. people here in three and a half weeks of fighting might not have thought the ceasefire would have lasted. people were expecting perhaps three days of lull in the hostilities. people were out in shops trying to shock up and supply. now that has changed.

people are back indoors. they're waiting for the worst to happen. >> martin, thanks very much, live in gaza as the news comes through. that's a ceasefire has collapsed. with me in the studio is month h -- mohamed. >> this is in the fourth week of fighting. what has happened today following the same pattern of past three and a half weeks, fighting from both side, rockets from gaza, israeli shelling. both blaming each other, interrupted by brief ceasefires that last a few hours before it collapses and both start fighting again. there's a slight glimmer of hope. what was preventing serious fire was that deadlock in negotiations between the two sides on the terms of the

ceasefire. from what we've heard last night, some sort of break through has been achieved which encourages them towards going to cairo. they were supposed to go to cairo today for talks posted by the egyptians. this break through is still there. if they have achieved this point which is reasonable agreeable terms that can be a starting point for negotiations. we may see a relapse in the fighting and continuation of fighting. there may be something there to pick up in a few hours or couple of days. >> the military side of this equation is tattered for the moment. the diplomatic or more strategic elements a lasting deal, there are building blocks still to work with. >> not a lasting deal. there's the agreement to start talking on the terms or

conditions for a permanent ceasefire. >> and i'm just getting word of some more news of casualties actually from gaza city. this is the associated press news agency. officials say israeli tank fire has killed at least 27 palestinians in southern gaza. there have been no hiding the fact the ceasefire is truly busted. let me pick up on what you're saying about the chances of re-establishing something. it's not imminent is it and possibly not within the course of the next 72 hours? i don't imagine for a moment the israeli and palestinian delegates will be on route now to cairo. if they are, they'll turn around and come back again. >> the best we could have hoped for if talks started today, they would have ended by the end of the day and stopped for jewish

sabbath. all of this has collapsed now. if the if there's break through and if there's more behind the scene contact to establish why the ceasefire collapsed or whether the deal is still on, we can see resumption within a few days. >> thanks very much for. that i want to go to jerusalem now. bethany bell is there for us. we had a breach of the ceasefire. we had an incident resolving around the border, gaza and israel. next thing we hear the ceasefire has collapsed. what's the israeli rational for that? >> we don't have official confirmation of the exact sequence of events, but what we understand are from israeli

media reports is that there was an incident of a morter being fired from gaza into israel near the other side of the border. the gaza health ministry says there were four deaths possibly five when people were struck by the israeli helicopter which may have come in retaliation to that. there are other unconfirmed reports, and i'm stressing unconfirmed reports of militants having entered israel through a tunnel around that area. whatever happened, we heard minutes ago from the israeli prime minister's office from officials saying the ceasefire had collapsed. we understand from gaza as well that people have received warnings from the army to stay indoors because attacks will continue. >> bethany, i suppose what we're

seeing is the reality of the relations between israel and gaza in any case. it seems extraordinary something that came from on high to a certain extent. u.s. secretary of state and u.n. secretary general have put their names on the paper, signed the dotted line about the ceasefire. both sides agreeing, hamas and israel agreeing. the click of a finger, the first thing that goes wrong, things seem to be falling around our ears. >> it appears, if reports of what happened are correct that this ceasefire lasted barely two hours. the fighting, clashes broke out on that border in the south on the israeli side and that it

couldn't hold for any longer. we don't know what international pressure will now try to bring about, whether there will be an effort to put that 72 hour truce back into position again. this was meant to be a moment for the people of gaza to get supplies again, to be able to get medical supplies and also to bury their dead, a moment of relief. as we see, hostilities have commenced again. people are told to go back in their houses. >> thanks very much. spokesman for the israeli ministry foreign affairs joining us from jerusalem. thanks for joining us on bbc world news. can i ask you first of all, we understand that there was a breach of the ceasefire not long after it started, yet a short time after that we've gone from breach to what your prime minister's office has

acknowledged is a collapse of a ceasefire. why such a dramatic move? >> israeli troops came under attack after the cease fire entered into force. this attack made casualtiecasua. they responded. after they responded the fighting spread to the rest of the area. hamas is now fighting as if there never was a truce. we're stating the obvious. it has collapsed because hamas breached this ceasefire as previously. we are not announcing on our behalf. we are stating the obvious. hamas is in violence and breach of the ceasefire that was supposed to give everyone a chance, not just to recuperate but hold discussions in cairo. >> what does blatant violation

of ceasefire mean in terms of military terms? what have they done? >> they attacked israeli troops. they have made -- >> with what? >> they caused damage. >> wondering if you could give me idea. i'm trying to ascertain the scale of the this attack which you say was a blatant violation of the ceasefire. >> well, an attack that causes casualties after ceasefire has entered into force is not something that you can just let go without any response. there was a full scale attack on an israeli unit. this unit had to respond. after it responded, hamas start firing rockets on israeli territory again. therefore the fighting resumed all along the line. this has been either a deliberate choice by someone in hamas or probably whether they have planned even before when

they have accepted the ceasefire. this seems like it was planned, well prepared. they had no attention to keep and observe the ceasefire to begin with. >> in your view, the actions taken by hamas militants as we understand you think carried this out was sufficient to justify what we are hearing an intensive israeli shelling now in southern gaza. we get reports of at least 30 people killed, 150 or so wounded. i can understand from the numbers that the ceasefire is shattered. you see that has a proportionate response? >> well considering the nature and scale of the attack by hamas terrorists and considering the damage and casualties that left behind, then yes. this is perfectly proportional.

it was directed straight at the attacking force. it was directed straight at armed gunmen who have not just been involved in some insignificant squirmish but have been launching an orderly planned on israeli troops. >> in your view, where does this leave the 72 hours we've been discussing, how long the ceasefire is meant to be? would you see any way israel would be ready to instate the ceasefire in the course of that time? do you intend to have talks in cairo? >> yes on both questions. yes, we want the ceasefire to hold. however, someone must tell us how do we make sure hamas will next time observe the cease fire? they have already breached six previous ceasefires we have accepted.

there's no one on the other side to make them observe a ceasefire. we will accept a ceasefire again. there's no other way of course. as we have accepted this one. we want the ceasefire to be established. one has to be realistic here. we have been accepting ceasefire after ceasefire, truce after truce to see them breached by hamas. talks through the egyptian channel and american diplomatic channel will continue. obviously we need also a permanent solution to this hamas rocket problem. we need to find a way not just to restore calm but bring about what international community wants today. >> have you continued despite the ceasefire, have you continued military efforts to destroy the so called the terror tunnels, hamas tunnels?

>> it was agreed when the ceasefire was established, israeli troops would continue engineering works intended to destroy tunnels, intended to locate and destroy tunnels. the ceasefire meant no more shooting, ceasing fire. that's exactly what we have applied the moment we have accepted it. the works intended to destroy the tunnels have continued in perfect accordance with the terms that have been agreed. >> one of the reasons i ask is that there are media reports that hamas militants were again attempting to use the tunnels to encroach israeli territory. i wonder if that was something you could confirm? >> i have no information on that at this precise moment. >> okay. let me ask you then again about the potential for a cease fire. when the words come out that the ceasefire has collapsed, that feels like a fairly dramatic,

bold and direct clear statement. that's it for the time being. are you saying here now that it could be in a matter of hours, could be a way of stabilizing this situation and getting back to a ceasefire? or are we looking once again at a military operation which is intense and could continue some time now? >> look, clearly the israeli side, israeli government has not announced the collapse of the ceasefire. >> that's precisely the language the prime minister's office gave to the bbc bureau that the ceasefire has collapsed. that's why i'm asking the question. >> that's right but as i've said before, this is merely an observation of developing reality on the ground. this is not announcement or initiative so to speak. it's just an observation of what

is now happening on the ground. you have been witnessing that yourself. at this moment when we speak, the the ceasefire is not observed. that is a fact. do we intend to re-establish it as soon as possible? yes, when it's possible. when ever it's possible. look what happened. we just accepted it and implemented it. look what happened, look what hamas did. we will agree of course to establish the ceasefire which was asked for by secretary general of the u.n., state secretary john kerry and also of course based on the egyptian plan, we are in favor of all those initiatives. we don't know how to make hamas observe these ceasefires at the international community has been pressuring for. >> thanks very much indeed for joining us here on bbc world news. we're going to take a short

break. stay with us. plenty more to to come. ♪ the last four hours have seen... one child fail to get to the air sickness bag in time. another left his shoes on the plane... his shoes! and a third simply doesn't want to be here. ♪ until now... until right booking now. ♪ planet earth's number one accomodation site booking.com booking.yeah!

. this is bbc world news. i'm david eades. our main headline, the ceasefire in gaza. it has collapsed. the israeli military is warning palestinian residents it's resuming the fighting. a crisis summit is to be held later by the countries affected by the ebola virus and world health organization. the plan is set out an emergency proposal to deal with the virus. the summit will launch a $1 million initiative to tackle the epidemic that's killed people in several countries. the meeting comes as american,

german and french authorities issue their own warnings against travel to affected countries. bbc is in that a area. how are they going to arrange in summit to make a difference with $100 million to spend? >> well the summit they're going to review tough measures that were announced in the last 48 hours in liberia and sierra leone including the tough measure of restriction of public gathering and public movement inside those countries. the quarantine of communities and homes, house to house searches announced. for example, health checks being reinforced at the airports and so on. these will be discussed in details showing do's and don'ts

to authorities of affected countries. there are questions to be raised. when these countries announce they will be quarantine communities. is it possible at all to quarantine a community from a human rights or public health point of view? all this will be discussed today to be enforced as soon as possible to contain this outbreak. >> thanks very much indeed with the latest on that summit. >> want to pick up on the situation in gaza. the ceasefire having fallen apart quite clearly. there's been intense israeli shelling in southern gaza. with me is the arabic service. absolutely squarely sounds like

they feel it's hamas militants. it sounds like it wasn't just a stray rocket. >> this is full blown hostilities. we have to keep in mind, both sides, hamas and israeli, are under lots of pressure. we've been hearing reports from israeli media there's a division within the israeli government between the hard liners pushing netanyahu for crushing hamas completely and between the american pressure to reduce the casualties. you have this going on. on the palestinian side, there's lots of popular pressure on hamas to stop this. the people of gaza have had enough. they've suffered loss and they're putting pressure on hamas to find a way out of this. >> it's interesting the to and fro of languages.

we've got a remark from the israeli prime minister's office. this is clarification in fact as the office is tempering the language a bit talking about the collapse of the ceasefire earlier. now the word is it's not declaring the ceasefire is over. it does accuse hamas of gross violations. they're not ruling out the ceasefire resuming which is the message we were getting from the foreign ministry a moment ago. if we can just take that to one side for a moment, what about talks? what about the opportunities in cairo, representatives getting together again? in a way, that's where it needs to be regardless of what's happening on the ground. they need a bigger picture deal. >> from what you said, it's obvious the israeli government is keeping the door open for resumption of talks. if the ceasefire is re-established and they do complete talks, these are not

going to be easy. there are issues there about the blockades, about releasing prisoners, condition of both sides. it will be difficult talks. >> very tough. thanks very much indeed for that. thanks for being with us on bbc world news. we see the ceasefire unraveling, violence resuming in gaza. hey pal? you ready? can you pick me up at 6:30? ah... (boy) i'm here! i'm here!

. our top stories. the three day ceasefire many gaza is unraveling hours after it started. the israeli army said it's resuming operations in gaza. it's warning residents to stay indoors. israel's prime minister accuses hamas of breaches in the ceasefire. huge underground gas explosions in t explosions in taiwan killed 24 people. russia has new restrictions on online media.

popular bloggers must register with the regulator. people from the amazon come face to face with modern community in brazil for the first time. hello. thanks for joining us. the ceasefire in gaza is unraveling. just over five hours after it started. it was meant to last 72 hours. israel and hamas have accused one another of breaching the truce. it began at 8:00 local time. that's 5:00 "gmt." israel's army has now warned residents of gaza to stay indoors as it is resuming operations. in fact we've been getting reports of intensive israeli shelling in southern gaza. some reports say as many as 30

people have been killed. bbc bethany bell is in jerusalem. bethany, can you give us the clarity if you like from the prime minister's office in particular as to why this is all broken down? >> well, the israeli prime minister's office, officials initially said the ceasefire has collapsed. they later scaled back that language accusing hamas of breaching the ceasefire. hah has accused israel of breaching the ceasefire. it's not exactly clear what has been going on this morning. we know from one israeli official who said israeli troops had come under attack and that there were casualty temperatures and that they responded. now that is very -- we understand most is happening down south in rafah on the gaza side and near kerem shalom on the israeli side in the south.

this is unclear. we haven't had official confirmation as to what may have happened down there. we know the gaza ministry of health says 27 palestinians have died in the fighting. there appear according to unconfirmed reports in israeli media, at least two incidents, one a morter fire from gaza to israel and then they're also talking about a second incident which i stress is unconfirmed at the moment of possibly hamas militants coming from a tunnel into israel. we know fighting is continued at moment. as you saidsaid, the residents gaza are told to stay indoors. >> israel's understanding was quite clear, wasn't it, that it would be able to carry on destruction of tunnels? >> yes, the american secretary of state john kerry said that israeli troops would stay on the

ground to continue demolishing that tunnel network can which israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu identified as one of israel's main targets in this offensive, getting rid of that. there's wide support in israel to do that. so that we know has been continuing. it seems as you say that this humanitarian ceasefire which was supposed to last for 72 hours has begun unraveling around 10:00 local time just two hours after it began. >> deeply depressing for all involved of course, but do you get a sense from the way in which the language has come from the israeli government that they've decided they must hold open the window of possibility at least that the ceasefire could be reimplemented and perhaps in relatively short order? >> it's a possible glimmer of hope, but it really depends on what is happening in the

fighting that is continuing at this current moment. there is an israeli delegation in cairo. we understand a palestinian delegation was also expected to go there. there is intense international pressure on both sides to try to bring an end to the this conflict certainly even a short term lull if you'd like in this. you know, the fighting is continuing. >> we've lost bethany there. i'm pleased with me is the bbc arabic service. we're talking about cairo, the importance of keeping talks going. maybe they're going to for a little bit. in a sense they should be able to go on almost regardless of the situation on the ground in gaza, shouldn't they? >> possibly that would be the hope of everybody that they would go on. there are unconfirmed reports coming many in that a spoke people from hamas are saying the

talks now, their delegation isn't going to cairo because of what's going on. these are unconfirmed reports. the talks in cairo took a very long time to be brought together. they were hoping to be the prelude of further talks to possibly put forward a longer standing ceasefire. we understand that of course there were the delegation from the palestinian side. there would be an israeli delegation. these are not face to face talks. mediation is through egypt. lots of people on the palestinian side say there are no other alternatives apart from this initiative to bring forth a ceasefire and to end the current conflict going on. >> given the nature of the way the ceasefire was announced, almost from john kerry and from moon. clearly from the palestinian and hamas side, this was what was in

place. it's staggering it could unfold so readily. can you find explanation as to why? is there a level of local autonomy or individuals who might feel from hamas side they can do what they want? >> hamas said through a spokesman it would respect the ceasefire as long as israel did. it said it negotiated and had talks with other factions to also accept the ceasefire and said it was going forth for humanitarian reasons. it did put a condition on the fact no attack on gaza, in return hamas would not fire to israel. there was also the case that both sides hamas and israel would be a tricky ceasefire to keep in place. both sides are currently throwing the blame on the other for what's going on at the mo t moment. the figure is upwards of 40 killed and hundreds injured in

the israeli bombardment at the moment on rafah in the southern most city of gaza. it seems that it's a very difficult situation at the moment to see how both sides pull back from it. >> we heard from israelis saying we're ready for a ceasefire again. i imagine we'll hear the same coming from hamas. >> perhaps that's true. we haven't heard from hamas that the ceasefire is over. we have unconfirmed reports they're not going to send delegation that effectively the ceasefire has unravelled. will there's been so much pressure on them to go to cairo and to sit down and come up with a ceasefire for a humanitarian reason. we're talking 1,400 killed and over 8,000 injured in gaza alone. so probably the egyptian side

would still bring them to cairo to negotiate and hopefully we'll hear this delegation has actually arrived. so far our office has said there's no news of palestinian delegation there. >> thanks very much indeed for that. i've been speaking to the spokesman for the foreign affairs. >> considering the nature and scale of attack by hamas terrorists and considering the damage and casualties they have left behind, then yes this is perfectly proportional. it was directed straight at the attacking force. it was directed straight at armed gunmen who have not just been involved in some insignificant squirmish but have been launching an orderly properly planned attack on

israeli troops. >> where does this leave the 72 hours we've been discussing -- that is how long the ceasefire is meant to be. would you see any way israel would be ready to reinstate the ceasefire in the course of that time? do you still intend to have talks in cairo? >> yes on both questions. yes, we want the ceasefire to hold, however someone must tell us how do we make sure that hamas will next time observe the ceasefire? they have breached six previous ceasefires. no one on the other side can make them observe a ceasefire. we will accept a ceasefire. there is no other way of course. as we have accepted this one. we want the ceasefire to be established. one has to be realistic here. we have been accepting ceasefire after ceasefire, truce after

truce only the to see them breached by hamas. talks through the egyptian channel and through the american diplomatic channel will continue because obviously we need also a permanent solution to this hah has rocket problem. we need to find a way not just to restore calm but to bring about what international community wants today. >> the latest there as from the israeli foreign ministry. let's get other news. series of gas explosions in taiwan has killed 24 people and injured 300 or so. the blast ripped through the southern city in the early hours of the morning. we have this report. >> reporter: the explosions ripped through the neighborhood in the city. the strength of the blast was so powerful, it tore up the entire street one kilometer.

several other streets are affected as well. it was so powerful, signs on businesses have been blown off. many cars are flipped upside down. now the authorities believe what may have caused the blast is pet row companies have pipelines running under the streets. it was once the center of the industry in taiwan. they believe some chemical leak from the pipeline may have are caused the blast. many residents were shocked by the blast. they were at home at the time. they were blown off their seats. some thought it was an earthquake. others thought it was a bomb. they were the lucky ones. most the dead were people that came outside because they smelled a strong odor. or people passing by on scooters. they were the ones most injured or killed by the blast. the death toll could very well rise. local authorities say 300 have been sent to almost every hospital in the city.

they suffer from varying degreeses including severe burns >> a new law which imposes restrictions on online media has come into effect in russia. bloggers with more than 3,000 daily readers have to register with the government regulator and conform to the same rules that apply to the country's larger media outlets. we are joined by the bbc russian service in moscow. >> the problem is this will bring attempt to regulate what people actually say on the internet. some will get t seen as a clamp down. many consider social media for example as the only place they can have more or less a discussion than a debate. others say this is directed at

the political bloggers. >> we're talking bloggers with 3,000 readers or more. talking about a huge number of individuals? >> absolutely. the thing is the law does not -- it requires you to get a license if you post by 3,000 or more people. how do you count those? that's not specifically put into law. some social media sites don't show the count. they don't count how many come and see your posts. others do. where do -- do you show it on this server? request from twitter to show that from the 20,000 followers, exactly 3,000 plus that saw this particular tweet? that's impossible. that's why bloggers are worried. they think this big gap this the clear understanding of how the

law will be directed will make sure it's selectively used against particular people. >> right. in essence, i assume those opposed to this simply see this as a talk for intimidation. >> that's true. authorities said it's not that. the law is to make sure authorities have instruments to fight extremism online. that's what they say. the bloggers fear this is though the exactly true. they're going to use this as widely as possible. that makes them quite angry. today for example there's the hashtag very widely used in the russian segment of social media. it's against the regulator report. it's so rude i can't pronounce it on air. what makes them angry is exactly that. authorities give themselves right and put lots of pressure on bloggers to make sure they're not political. >> thank you very much indeed.

hello. you're with bbc world news. i'm david eades. the latest headlineses. the cease fire unravelled. the israeli military is warning residents it's resuming operations. the prime minister blamed hamas for blatant violence in the

ceasefire. i want to bring you more breaking news on the situation in gaza. the israeli military is saying one of its soldiers may have been captured during clashes in southern gaza. a spokesperson for the idf, israeli defense forces, said that 0930 this morning, heavy exchange of fire took place in the southern gaza strip. initial investigation raises concern during the event a soldier was abducted. his family has been notified. we'll keep a cross on that. intense fighting in gaza with casualties figures ranging from 20 to 30 up to as many as 70. now let's get very different story here and amazing pictures from brazil. it's a group of previously undiscovered people from the amazon who came face to face

with a modern community for the first time last month near the border of peru. the tribes men may have left because of threats posed to their tribe from drug traffickers. >> this is the moment it's believed an isolated tribe from the amazon made first contact with the outside world. the meeting happened a month ago. the media was only released this week by the brazilian government. seven young men made contact with the community in the state near the border with peru. a man exchanged food with them. later the group entered the village. the men were filmed and warned them not to take anything.

they still took tools and coal. the group was already carrying objects. the government officials believe they had taken them from other villages. they retreated into the forest and returned the next day. coughing and sneezing, they had to be treated for their colds. undetected groups don't normally reach out to people outside their tribe. that's why brazilian experts say these men could possibly be looking for help. some speculate they might have crossed the border because of pressure from illegal loggers or drug dealers interrupting their area. the crisis summit is held later between leaders of the west african countries affected by ebola and world health organization. it's aimed to set an emergency plan to deal with the world's worst outbreak of the virus. the sum mmit has the opportunit

to launch the $100 million initiative to tackle the virus that's killed people in several countries. a warning against travel is issued for those traveling to affected countries. heather is regional coordinator for unicef. heather joins us by web link. thanks very much for joining us. around about $100 million to spend on improving this situation. how would you spend it? >> that's a very good question. i would deaf mittly put most of the effort into working with health care workers and make sure the spreading is stopped. a lot of effort needs to go where the transmission is happening, where cases are being managed, also in the communities. that's really important to get

the partners together to really work hard on getting at these areas. >> yeah, i guess with that amount of money, it's going to be limited effort isn't it? this is a vast issue now and very difficult to contain. >> yeah. it's very difficult to contain. that's really important that everybody understand what is the disease is and what they can do personally to to help stop the spread. it's important everybody really understands what's happening. public information and working directly with people and communities is really important. we're focussing most effort on that component that's really working directly with decision makers and leaders of communities. >> what do you make of the americans, german, french as well. their authorities saying don't travel to saffected countries. is that sensible or dramatic? >> some of the decisions made by

the liberia and sierra leone government to put in place better restrictions and better screening for people that are coming from these areas has been really important decisions. traveling to these areas -- if you understand the disease and practice the right infection prevention and control measures, then you should be okay. it may not be some place unless you're going for a specific work and to help with the crisis. then yeah, it's something you need to really understand the disease. i think it's important people are thinking about it and putting in control measures. >> thanks very much indeed. now if you've got a dog with a weight problem, maybe a new gym in the u.s. will work out a

solution. the gym in alexanderia, virginia has obstacle courses and a $700 yearly membership fee. >> a gym opening in the u.s. state of virginia. nothing unusual about that you might think until you meet the clientele using it. this is a gym dedicated to four legged fitness. described as a canine sports club. it's a place fido can feel the burn. >> it's you meek. we haven't seen any other dog gyms compare in terms of having a membership, dropping in your dog when you want. come engage in a new and different way. >> there are treadmills if conventional dog walking isn't your thing. they're ideal for cardio, balance core to build muscle strength and an obstacle course to approve agility and speed. membership can be up to $60 a month or $10 for a day pass. a bargain some say if it keeps

their prized pooch in a state physical perfection. >> you want to keep the dog in good shape. biggest problem dogs get sick of diseases like diabetes and die because they have not had enough exercise. they've not been used as a dog. a dog needs to go to the gym like a human needs to go for the exact same reasons. >> in the future, the gym plans to hold wellness ceremonies. they gave out a cake which seems to defeat the purpose of the thing some how. some breaking news to bring you from uganda. a court has struck down the antihomosexuality law that punishes gay sex. this comes after the constitutional petition was filed alleging the laura vw vio
