9:01 am
with a look back at the past week's top stories and the latest developments this is all to see live in moscow cross border violence as sort of the middle east this week with israel launching airstrikes in gaza which for back with dozens of rocket attacks the arab league has condemned the israeli assaults and calls for the u.n. to say go action that if it's out exchanges have already claimed the lives of around thirty people from both sides these policy is keeping across developments in tel aviv hello to you paula the violence appears to show little sign of abating. at that mission a little sign of abating there are now a new round of a strike and rocket attack since last night saturday some nine rockets have been fired into southern israel one man was killed one woman was critically injured and a number of buildings had to be any damage at the same time we're talking here some
9:02 am
one hundred seventy vocative that have rained down on seven israel since the findings first began on tuesday now it is increasingly looking likely that the israeli army might be considering a ground offensive into gaza and this comes and then a number of israeli part of the interior calling for such an operation to take place only today same day israel resumed a strike more than a dozen palestinians have been killed in the air strike the hamas leadership is warning on the international community to condemn israel and this is a sentiment that was echoed at the arab league meeting that was held here today in cairo that meeting issued a statement in which they said that israel needs to stop its aggression on both gyptian and garden soil and at the same time he called on the united nations to intervene now israel has also been gripped by a massive protests over domestic problems for months now what do people there think about this escalating tension. well the social protest has now been
9:03 am
ongoing for more than a month and by and large people are insisting that they will remain with the man on the agenda but of course there is going concern that the netanyahu government might use this kind of violence as an excuse as a detraction away from actually addressing the real concerns with me and has adam cannot use a spokesperson from the movement and in the most recent protest last night saturday seemed to see demonstrators with a new slogan now in light of the latest conflict. together with the old slogan the people want social justice they were also chanting the people want the ceasefire if that's representative of most israelis would most israelis support a ceasefire i think there are some israelis who. are very angry with palestinians and go oh let's go in and finish them one off for once and for all and that is going actually. people will take but i think quite
9:04 am
a few people would like to see a ceasefire and i'm sure that the moment when the cease fire goes into effect everybody will be very relieved the problem what was said. bill you mentioned mainstream columnist to do in the article not that there is a kind of macho question who will have the last word who will shoot the first shot the last shot which is completely unimportant as a politically or militarily but it is a question of the station and that causes more people to the forces for the chief. one time the issue here for the last month has been issues of social security and social issues all of a sudden that agenda seems to have changed to terrorism and security do you think that the netanyahu government is using this as an opportunity to detract from issues that when there is so certainly no question that netanyahu is using it. and
9:05 am
certainly the people who made this attack in their give gave it to him on the social. silver platter. but i don't think that this social put this is going to disappear because there is a very very much feeling of bitterness hopelessness and not only of the most poor people in israeli society what of the people who have been leading this but. what you call the middle class young people professionals who find they can't get a job or if they get they'll get a job. in themself and there for me lisa void which they get they can't get the for the housing that many people say that having children is just for the business and that's why what is what is leading this forth this. always been living very much most of all because of the free market capitalism economy in for many years that forced on children into the know if you very much. i think this will not
9:06 am
go away whatever happens in the outside for example and of course another thing to be inspiration is money. quick to respond to tax something yeah. cancer is something that's been on the cards for some time it will keep management all right thank you very much paul that i was our correspondent paula sneer reporting from tel aviv many thanks also to israeli peace activist adam camera. libyan rebels say they're pushing on towards tripoli and claim they're now around thirty kilometers away from the capital they have also been reports of sporadic violence within tripoli itself but many people on the ground there say the situation is much calmer than those reports suggest this is a feeling as an independent journalist in tripoli who says that false accounts of what's happening and serve only to stir up the conflict. we've been hearing from the rebels and from nato that nato allies the stench of the rebels a day
9:07 am
a week or very close to tripoli we've been hearing this for the past five months so the people of tripoli have essentially got used to these claims and don't treat them very seriously we've been hearing that we have is under control that prager is in country of kinds of control but the reality is that what is happening in these areas is that they are coming under intense nato bombardment and leaving the libyan army and the volunteers essentially the tribes and people in libya to move out of the area temporarily while the airstrikes are taking place last night there was some incidents in parts of tripoli which with seem to have been quite rapidly of dealt with why by the people here by the libyan government so then people started to come out into the streets to rally in support of their lead to essentially and then after that there were a few more incidents it appears as though there have been a few snipers from the rebels shooting from buildings which obviously this is
9:08 am
a very i'm talking about a very small number of variables but the issue of snipers shooting from buildings what it does is it creates mass panic and it's very difficult for the libyan police the libyan army and the volunteers here to deal with because of the threads of hurting civilians has obviously failed in its military strategy and to create a military solution here so instead what we're seeing is a massive psychological operation going on to try and weaken the government in the libyan government in that way of course we know that at the beginning of the crisis and continuously the international media the western media al-jazeera in particular has been responsible for a number of really grave lies of course there was the lie that gadhafi was attacking his own people which thanks to the satellites of russian its intelligence proved that there were no such attacks. that took place we heard the lie that the libyan govern. that was hiring mercenaries from african countries that has led to
9:09 am
the mass lynching of black people in areas like benghazi and misrata and other places that was also proved to be a lie by human rights organizations we've had the lie that there was an imminent must occur about to take place in benghazi and also that there was already thousands that have been killed by the libyan government in benghazi but we have yet to see the mass graves we have yet to see the footage we have yet to see the evidence of this most recently that was of course the claims in the international media that somehow the civilian deaths the massacre that took place in the town wasn't quite on the scale that the libyan people and government was paying and i went to the tell myself i went to the burial i saw the evidence of. the massacre of children and other civilians so it's quite understandable that few journalists here may be receiving receiving the pleas of the libyan government to just do their job essentially and report what is happening on the ground here
9:10 am
because thus far they have been they have proven incapable of doing so and that is that they are largely responsible for the crisis in this country. and then later we'll bring you more about the troubles in the region as our team needs one participant of egypt's revolution he says the fight with democratic reforms seems simply to have given birth to another military regime removed brutal and the previews for. to britain now where two young men have been handed tough jail sentences for their facebook posts which called on others to write none of the messages actually lead to any trouble and the men said they meant as a joke the jail terms of sparked a wave of public condemnation accusing judges of overreacting or bennett has a story. four years behind bars for the riot that didn't even happen jordan black sure and perry sutcliffe kenan were banged up for inciting disorder on facebook no
9:11 am
one turned up after their invitation to riot which they later said was a drunken joke but now they face sentences even tougher than most looters and i worry is that it is an imbalance a four year sentence for example would normally be given to somebody for a previous bodily harm for holding someone up with a knife or even for. some form of sexual assault so it seems to me that that there is a danger that the courts are moving into disproportionate territory and that actually devalues our response to more serious crimes that governments encourage courts to dish out harsh sentences by using the public disturbance as an aggravating factor it's meant this man anderson fernandez could even be sent to jail for theft of just two scoops of ice cream because like this one denying bail to most offenders and ignoring any claims of previous good character of the one thousand two hundred seventy seven people charged so far two thirds have been
9:12 am
remanded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes which is just ten percent some offenders even being made homeless is their punishment with local governments taking away their houses but many say it's all simply cause more harm than good i think this is a very unwise the move to remove people from housing interim move benefits because actually if we are seeing that some of the crime that we saw on the streets was an expression of people not feeling part of the city not feeling part of our communities then these measures are actually going to push people further away from society further away from our communities and far more likely to commit crime the facebook case is the first sign of the government's desire to crack down on social media sites like twitter were applauded by the west for mobilizing the masses in the arab world but they were also instrumental in the u.k. riots so now the prime minister wants it to stop. we are working with the police the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop
9:13 am
people communicating via these websites or services when we know they are plotting violence disorder and criminality when social media fueled revolutions in egypt and she britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when troubles closer to home i'm very conscious of the news you know the. poor or. me would be the force to complete. the. country's. prime minister says this is where britain fights back but it speeds this fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder after bennett's artsy london. collective economic government that's the latest measure proposed by top e.u. leaders in their bid to hold market turmoil and reverse the stagnation across the continent but the latest ideas have found little support among investors who say
9:14 am
it's come as too little and too late angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy rejected the idea of euro bonds favored by the markets and seen by many as the best way of emerging from the debt crisis political analyst and author william engdahl believes there's only so were real substance to the latest now. that i think the collective economic government that merkel and sarkozy are talking about is really a desperate political ploy to try to create the illusion of stability where the underlined stability doesn't yet exist there is no political will not in germany nor in the rest of the eurozone countries for surrendering national sovereignty to a collective entity that has any decision power so it's simply a shimmer that's been thrown out there to try to calm the markets the alternative really is is to get steve will export market relations and i think above all with the russia of the central asian. republics china and the rest of asia in the middle
9:15 am
east and if that is created then you can have a growth vector that leads you out of this debt impasse that the eurozone countries are in without that and so long as as the dollar system dominates international financial relations that moody's standard and poor's do the rating on sovereign debt for european union countries and that there is no independent european credit rating agency and there isn't is no. growth perspective only austerity and there is no up to this crisis. and yet another blow to the euro zone the bloc's second one hundred sixty billion euro bailout for greece may be under threat athens as agreed to provide in then with collateral in return for its contribution to the financial rescue package but it sparked in the nation among the other fifteen donors some of which are now also demanding collateral analysts however warn the greece is incapable of handing out such guarantees the e.u.
