check our reporting for washing our teeth. israeli airstrikes on gaza have killed at least ten palestinians in response to rocket attacks in the jewish state that left one dead it's the worst outbreak of violence in weeks following a successful prisoner swap deal between tel aviv and hamas of his policy is the latest from israel. one of the concerns people have is that among the hundreds of palestinian prisoners who are still in israeli jails and who still need to be released as part of that prisoner exchange deal that saw one israeli soldier returned to israel in exchange for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners many of the palestinian prisoners who still need to be released belong to the democratic front for the liberation of palestine and that is one of the palestinian groups that has claimed responsibility for a number of these rockets that have been fired into israel in recent days so there are many people here saying that this does jeopardize that prisoner exchange deal and that it will be almost
5:14 pm
a convenient excuse for these rabies not to release the hundreds of palestinian prisoners that it is still committed to release as part of that deal there were more than twenty thousand people that took to the streets of tel aviv they were not surprised by the violence they say that this is something that has happened in the past and it is the government's way of detracting attention away from domestic problems and certainly if you look at the international media coverage the international media was much more focused on what was happening in terms of security concerns and on israel's border with gaza and then on what was happening domestically here and this is exactly what protesters say they say that they want money to not be spent so much on the on the defense budget the full cuts they have to be made so that more money can be spent domestically in search for me this increase in violence and the government's response in terms of the fact that it is going to give gaza a harsh hand to tracks attention away from what people here say is the ongoing situation where they have very real demands that are more often than not overshadowed by the excuse of security concerns. of middle east correspondent paula
5:15 pm
syria they're staying with a court sentenced a former israeli soldier to four and a half years in prison for releasing classified military documents some of the league files detail military officials are proving yourself a nation of palestinians in the west bank but those claims are only being investigated. she says but undermines israeli law. in this case a whistle blower blew a loud and disturbing whistle the military is violating international law and the directive the israeli supreme court in carrying out assassinations in situations in which they are required to try to make an arrest and so the state attorney's office prosecuted the soldier but failed to seriously investigate the conduct revealed in those documents conduct which raises serious questions about rule of law in a democratic system that pattern of behavior of violating by the supreme court because of the supreme court said that if that said you must try to arrest is part of a pattern of practice within the israeli system and it's something that's very disturbing
5:16 pm
because when the army does not obey orders by the supreme court the supreme court is actually more reluctant to issue those orders because no court wants to issue orders that are going to be ignored and then of course you have a serious threat to the rule of law because in a democratic system the army is of course supposed to listen to what usual system tells them to do. news russian cargo ships on his way to the international space station delivering tons of supplies for the orbiting crew to mung software it's pretty. picture. well the soyuz rocket sent a progress module from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan that should reach the i.c.'s in three days delivering food fuel and other supplies for the three astronauts who are currently there are russian and american in the japanese there's only half the normal crew there right now off per similar supply model crushed off the blast off in august temporarily suspending flights since the end of nasa shuttle program in july the soyuz is the only transportation to the space station
