on gaza have left at least ten palestinians dead and action in response to a rocket attack on the jewish state that left one dead it's the worst outbreak of violence in months following a prisoner swap deal between israel and hamas argues possibly or as more from tel aviv. and 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 return 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 a convenient excuse for the israelis to release the hundreds of palestinian
12:13 am
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 see that this is something that has happened in the past and it is the government's way of detracting attention away from domestic problems insert the if you look at the international media coverage the international media was much more focus from what was happening in terms of security concerns and on israel's border with gaza and then on what is happening domestically here and this is exactly what protesters say they say that they want money to not be screened so much on the hour on the defense budget for cuts there to be made so that more money can be staved domestically and certainly this increase in violence and the government's response in terms of the fact that it is going to give gaza a harsh had it 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. paula.

12:15 am
disturbing because when the army does not obey the 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 and tells it to do. it looking for in-depth stories and analysis r.t. has you covered here's a taste of what's online right now what are. the radioactive emissions from fukushima has crippled nuclear plant maybe five times greater than authorities claimed find out online right evacuation zone could stay uninhabited for years to. weeks after the failure of its predecessor the russian progress space ship successfully take software to. check out the footage or he dot com or you tube. the front runner for kyrgyzstan's presidential election looks set to take the country's top job with almost all the ballots counted he's leading the polls with
