and the pictures still haunt israeli soldier pitted against israeli citizen israelis had hoped that by withdrawing eight thousand settlers from gaza they'd be extending an olive branch to the palestinians but most underestimated the violence and heartbreak that would follow after the press some of the soldiers came they went to the window and shouted i said why don't you come and knock on the door like normal people they told me your and arrest you were supposed to have loved guards are already the soldiers were crying the children were crying i was crying i looked at guards i looked at the sea i said that's it it's over. you are full of ryan lived in gaza with her husband and nine for sixteen years until the last moment they refused to pack up and leave with nothing more than the clothes on their back assigned to their house was the only thing they brought with him. five years ago most israeli supported the withdraw but today more than half think it was
6:09 pm
a mistake throughout israel there are some dozen communities like this where gaza refugees despite the promises made to them are still living in temp. we housing. and now in settlements across the west bank people are afraid the same fate awaits them sure goldstein has been mayor of the settlement block for eleven years he's furious with israeli premier benjamin netanyahu who in his latest bid for peace allegedly offered the palestinians ninety percent of the west bank if they agree to direct talks palestinian president mahmoud abbas is under pressure to give an answer in the coming days if the government of israel. would decide to go out of there so why are forming quitting suicide there with of israel if we're going to give them some or is it. drive for a. vehicle tearing drive it for ten minutes who can defend it these really

6:12 pm
palestinian territories in gaza and i was going and we have witnessed the war in the gaza strip at the end of two thousand and eight so we believe that life has become bitter things have even bad consequences or for the long term because in illegal tim for some people seeing gaza it becomes independent and we palestinians would have the responsibility on the gaza strip for others and for more political analyst they believe here their israeli side would have the full responsibility and the gaza strip still under the israeli occupation up to now. up next here on our team a progressive preparation with a large scale immigration a relatively recent phenomenon in finland finland the country considers a special parliament to give a voice to its new citizens. now just as wildfires caused by record heat wave start to ease russia's summer of extreme weather has taken another twist

6:15 pm
close the windows but they're still full of smoke it's forty degrees and the smell of rotting bandages is everywhere the medics are working around the clock trying to get every patient on time even private healthcare has seen an increase in calls me depression gets a lot of calls and some not from regular clients which we handle is all we will staffed and will stocked the ambulance itself simon screaming but without the weather on their side even the medical men may find themselves fighting a battle royal marine. gas arena r t moscow. the commander of u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan says he is not bound by the july two thousand and eleven date set for a troop pullout general david petraeus said he made vice president obama not to go ahead if he believes it's the wrong time american public support for the war is at an all time low july was the worst month for coalition troops deaths since two

thousand and one with frustration growing about the occupation of afghanistan politicians in germany have even suggested talking to the taliban and terrorist organizations to avoid more violence but frederick william author of the bestselling book century of war told r.t. that instability in central asia is actually in america's interest. comments about pulling out by july of next year are simply ludicrous as petraeus indicated the nato troops and certainly the u.s. air force command are not at all planning to pull off because the afghan occupation you have to understand it has nothing to do or very little to do with afghanistan or say it has to do with russia it has to do with china it has to do with the central asian countries and show. breading what some of called a thirty years war scenario to prevent the independent development economically of china russia and the c.o. shanghai cooperation states so this is all politics on the part of obama about
6:17 pm
pulling up next there's even a question what is the taliban and afghanistan today because. the pentagon press releases call any quote unquote opposition groups that are trying to get occupy occupation armies out of their country after thirty years of war they call them the taliban automatically and very unclear whether this is an organized force as it was before. october two thousand and one but the german politicians in the conservative wing are really quite desperate at this point because they realize that this is a highly unpopular war german soldiers are coming back in body bags and. they can't fathom the sense of it so they're fishing for some kind of dialogue the human rights thing is is simply a face saving device which means that they. pretended to do something we're not going to do anything. large scale immigration is relatively new to finland but the

local newspaper and claims newcomers are often denied jobs simply because they don't have a finnish name born abroad to a finnish mother she joined up with other immigrants to propose a parliament to fight for the rights of the newcomers. finishes cited systematically not ready to understand that it's changing and even though currently the amount of immigrants is only about three percent of the population if measures are not taken out the problems are only going to. organizers say the immigrant parliament will be an independent nonpolitical organization but not many films including this member of parliament from the finnish for forty supports the project i don't think it's a good idea for immigration groups in the great people who can't read or count or write are coming into fan on down they are not part of productivity many immigrants
6:20 pm
or refugees from troubled regions like somalia and iraq and some of them don't speak finnish that means they can't find a job so they live on state handouts it's provoked a backlash from the right wing nationalist in the country authorities support the immigrant parliament saying it may help stop the rise of racial hatred we would like to do the policy so that we can also hear the voice of amy so i think that this polyamory is a good idea because they said he hopes voice. to migrants and they can act as a kind of advice about what that. every registered immigrant who's a teen in his food for at least two years. every person sure we have the right. to travel but having this right doesn't mean abusing it living by the means of others may be new to the immigration issue but it's long become

now rushing to clear blocked rivers and mountainsides more heavy rain is forecast over the coming days adding to the urgency of the work. and in south korea peace activists have gathered in the capital seoul to protest over the country's joint military exercises with us over eight thousand troops are taking part in the annual computer simulated war games which started on monday the exercises which volved field maneuvers began despite threats from north korea pyongyang has warned it will launch a massive attack on the u.s. and south korea if they proceed with the exercises. now rapper bid for the presidency of haiti made headlines last week so i. went to meet his fellow u.s. rapper immortal technique to ask if the music industry can offer more than just empty words to haiti watch this interview in just a minute. you
6:23 pm
took the incentive to help raise money for so many hundreds of thousands that are still in need why did you feel that you actually had to fly over to haiti to see the dispersant on the funds i went there at the request. of this club s.o.b.'s. that was gracious enough to involve themselves personally in the cause to support the haitian people. what was going on i said.
6:24 pm
then they said we want to get the word out about what's really going on here you know so the best way to do that is to come. out there not to read pamphlets full of statistics or to to just study them in books but also to actively participate in them you know i think that's the line between an activist and a revolutionary where you have to involve yourself a lot more than the particular cause and have the most serious commitment you know sometimes i get accused of being too serious but goes with the territory i want to ask about a few things that you saw there the children the orphans from what i read you actually were holding think a one year old in your hand and then when you were done holding out the child passed that one year old off to another level you're all talking about that experience and what you saw in terms of the kids in the orphanage there the thing that struck me is how young of the country it is and when people come to me and asked me you know what is haiti need as i say that haiti needs schools they need
6:25 pm
education they need to be able to learn how to be self-sufficient self-sustaining and to not always be reliant on foreign made which is equivocal to the large corporations and large countries paying themselves and saying that they're donating money to i rather you said foreign aid is this is it deceptive i'm not saying that all of it is i want to clarify that i'm in no way shape or form ungrateful or i'm trying to discount the support that. haiti has gotten from every major i did see from what a country to a corporation because they have saved people's lives they have pulled people out of rubble they've done an extraordinary amount of things but i think that there is a level of corruption that exists to meet the surface when we talk about foreign aid when we talk about donating to a cause when we talk about the fees that are incurred for certain aid organizations
6:26 pm
that have what is it forty percent off the top they go to their expenses and i think it's a little disingenuous but. that's my. opinion but when i look at haiti and what it signifies when i see that someone who is eleven years old worrying about raising three other kids around them younger than them it really. struck a cord according to the new york times only five percent of the rubble has actually been removed do you see that with your own eyes what did it look like when you were walking through absolutely as you go through port au prince and the surrounding areas and you'll see buildings that are still collapsed their. counterpart to the white house is still in shambles broken down people are trying to build rebuild their own independent businesses. on the rubble itself you know that making every desperate attempt if they can to take. whatever structure is still left and build
6:27 pm
something out of it. when we talk about their safety and what their living conditions are what i saw is that the people who are inside the tent cities there are usually about two or three families per ten so when you look at those tents it's a little misleading because it's like oh they're fine now they have a tent you know no they don't and that's fine you know what happens when hurricane season comes how those tents going to hold up to that you know i think that there is something to look at in terms of a long term vision of what is going to happen in the country who's in to be in control of it now it's it's a military state it's a police state run by america and the u.n. and the u.n. at interchangeable entity sometimes i want to ask you about that because you were a little harsh in terms of the united nations that what it has done or has not done
6:28 pm
for haiti despite the promises that have been made. by the united nations and independently by the united states what do you think the interests are when we talk about people's interests. and whether they're genuine. it's hard to say i'm sure some people's interests are very much genuine i'm sure there are people on ground level and people who are below that is executive shame that sit there and say you know what i'm trying to do something good for the people i'm trying to go out there i bust my in order to make that happen but i don't think they're the ones that desire the program the ones that design the protocol you know they're just the worker bees very well paid worker bees but they don't know how the hive is being formed do they haitians believe from what they told you that the u.s. is going to fulfill the promises that it has made in order to help them help them rebuild the younger ones are they really are very positive people. no matter
6:29 pm
what life throws at them it's like we're going to get through this and if the u.s. is willing to partner with us and help us then hopefully they'll state they'll stay true to their word so they're hopeful whereas when i talk to some of the. old a you know they look at it as oh here's the country they kidnapped or act last president has a country has been involved in supporting you know brutal dictatorships for decades really here to help haiti right now has an opportunity to completely rebuild that system. from scratch what do you think is going to happen and how do you think it's going to happen it's a country that lives under military occupation like a list the haitian people are proactive about taking control of it themselves they will find. the terms of their republic dictated to them by other people. outside.
