international. peace. be. in twenty four hours. yet all the details. and may join. a growing. force to an unprecedented.
9:01 am
it is good to have you with us on this friday. allegedly killed two more palestinians in gaza despite israel's pledge to hold fire during a brief visit by the egyptian prime minister to the strip and other militant groups though. come under rocket attack for the second time in twenty four hours with an iranian made missile again falling just shy of residential areas near the city reports now for. again a very unexpected event these are the longest range rocket attacks that of ever been managed from from gaza and by sending people running to those shelters really sending some moments of panic through through tel of eve and perhaps affecting
9:02 am
the resolve of the israeli defense forces and the israeli people to perhaps escalate this conflict to a ground attack tanks and troops there's been a lot of reports of them massing near the border with gaza and we know that thirty thousand reservists are ready to be called up if necessary also earlier today a visit by egypt's prime minister to the gaza strip there were supposed to be a truce on his visit which was broken almost immediately by both sides rockets being fired into southern israel and an israeli airstrike which killed two civilians one of them a child those bodies brought into a hospital as it was being visited by egypt's prime minister and harasses prime minister on seeing those bodies egypt's prime minister saying that he felt he couldn't keep silent and that israel must stop its aggression in gaza backing up
9:03 am
hamas and the garzon people there all of this supposed to have been a truce period that wasn't held and firing by both sides intensifying now as a result of all these casualties and rocket attacks and bombings in the meantime garters former health minister has told us here at r.t. that the israeli army operation is ultimately breaking international law. benefit a little of those studies have proved that israel is using internationally prohibited weapons in quality and quantity they have managed to destroy many buildings and houses using percussion bombs which led to the collapse of many of the surrounding buildings are the bodies of those killed were completely burned and this clearly shows they have used prohibited weapons others died in hospitals and we weren't able to diagnose the causes of their death we're talking here about one hundred sixty injured in these attacks the majority of whom were children women and
9:04 am
the elderly the majority of those who died were children who suffered from seventy five percent to ninety percent burns. israel maintains its conducting a successful operation despite the rising number of civilian casualties in gaza a bit earlier in the program here on out say i spoke to a television fishel who denied causing any collateral damage. i want to see that we have only one goal israel has to defend its citizens i'm sure that there is no state no state no russia and no state in europe and no the united states of america can agree with this kind of situation you know our children our elders are fired by rockets on our schools on our civilians and we turn on the terrorists with one very simple goal to stop this firing of rockets on our civilians
9:05 am
and we will target terrorists and stop would you care to explain why the palestinian interior ministry has also been targeted in fact that building is basically left in a state of rubble and ruin it's hardly a militant stronghold in fact the interior ministry is where people get passports visas it's where journalists get their permission to go into the strip why go after why level the interior ministry the explanation is very simple unfortunately a must. while they target our civilians they hide behind their civilians they hide behind schools now the i.d.f. our army wants only to defend our citizens targets only terrorists garson is an extremely confined area a very small area probably certainly overpopulated why are so many children being killed by israeli airstrikes if you're going after militants there are no children been heard by idea of only terrorists heard only terrorists are targeted while the
9:06 am
visit of egyptian of the prime minister of egypt israel didn't try and didn't attack any target in gaz but a master is the target israeli civilians while the visit of the prime minister of egypt and i suggest you check the information because there it cannot be. people hurt while the visit of the prime minister of egypt because we didn't are you are also doing i'll certainly get mad when i show you any you are absolutely right according to the i.d.f. no airstrikes were carried out on the gaza strip juror during the visit of the egyptian prime minister although somehow two palestinians did manage to die the israeli army and the israeli government will do everything needed targeting terrorists only. to stop the firing of rockets on israeli cities don't because really schools is really children and if we will need some ground operation we
9:07 am
definitely will consider. is vowing to keep fighting as long as the attacks continue let's have a quick listen here to the prime minister speaking just a little bit earlier please stand by. we will never forget the blood of our martyrs and the blood of our leaders this holy blood will not go without a response the great palestinian nation which has sacrificed martyrs for generations will never forget the hamas movement which now millions support will never forget the blood of its martyrs it is more than ten years but a mass fire rockets were serious on our schools and our citizens and we all the time only react to defend we don't provoke and we don't attack and believe me there is no provocation from the israeli side only one simple goal to be safe to have safe and peaceful life we want our children to go safely and peacefully to
9:08 am
schools and leave safely that's all. right now let's get a bit more on what exactly is going on inside gaza let's join a very fear documentary filmmaker and activist are located in the strip right now but it's good to have you on r.t. thank you for joining us from what is apparently a bit of a touch and go to church and where you are how much damage have you seen at this point being done to guard over the last three days. well i've been to several sites to stream struck by israeli air strikes and frankly being out and about in the gaza strip is the most dangerous thing to do and so documenting those aftermath sites is very dangerous but we have managed to do a level of since the beginning of the military operation twenty four pounds since it's now been killed and over two hundred fifty injured including seventy plus women so the situation is very grave and dangerous now we've been watching harry we've been watching the israeli defense forces amassing these massive armored cars with light tanks as well and troops along the gaza border maybe you can see them
9:09 am
from your window i don't know but if indeed a israel does choose to invade gaza how prepared is gaza for that and how much resistance do you think there could be well in terms of civilian population they are prepared for the worst to happen because they still have scars on their mind and on the streets on that buildings on their economy the operation cast lead of winter two thousand and eight nine people are mentally prepared for that as for the palestinian resistance groups they're also prepared for that and they have been prepared for that since the end of operation cast lead they have various strategic military plans to deal on find off a land incursion and so i think israel probably knows that and that much of this rhetoric is there's talk about a land invasion is rhetoric to terrorize the palestinian population now moments ago you were giving us some numbers there about how many women have been have been injured or have been killed also the same with children as well if i were the egyptian foreign minister was visiting just a few hours ago he was in one of the hospitals when
9:10 am
a two year old child was killed and brought into the hospital how are the medical facilities coping with the influx of casualties well not too well i mean within an hour of the beginning of operation a pillar of cloud the biggest hospital in gaza sheaffer hospital declared an emergency state because they were unable to deal with the influx of for example injured people that was within one hour we've heard reports in the last twelve hours. that they're running out of fuel which obviously is a serious humanitarian situation because they wouldn't be able to rely on generators for that kristie to support life support machines electricity and lighting in the building and that's the biggest hospital in gaza one of the strongest medical centers of how am i correct in understanding that almost on a daily if not a daily basis there are roaming blackouts put on the guards or so that ultimately when it comes to treating those who are wounded and injured that the hospitals may just have to have lights out for a while well the hospitals have generators to provide electricity but they rely on fuel and so long as there was
9:11 am
a fuel shortage which there is that fuel will eventually run out and so there is a serious situation that the hospitals may face a blackout situation in the next one or two days the strip in general faces back out as it always has done since the beginning of the siege fought for more than twelve hours a day at some point and in the last two days since the beginning of the operation there have been widespread blackouts synchronize with the military operation afflicted on the strip we've also had cellular blackouts unable to use a mobile telephone telecommunications we've had internet blackouts which are intermittent now it may not be the right time to ask this but there are some people that are suggesting the netanyahu is actually doing some politicking right here because of the generally twenty second knesset upcoming elections or could anyone see that as a pre-election stunned well i mean every single palestinian political analyst which is looking at what's going on has said that this is not a coincidence you know what is used to killing people defending
9:12 am
a country is used to get to gain in gaza and got a vote so this is a fairly common sensical analysis and obviously we have to interview netanyahu to ask what that's actually true or not but it does on the face of it seem not to be a coincidence documentary filmmaker and activist harry fear live for us from god i thank you. now deputy leader of hamas who was assassinated by israel on wednesday had just received the draft of a permanent truce agreement with tel of eve that's according to a peace mediator who claims he helped to broker the deal. he said that israel has severely hampered the prospects of a peaceful solution to the long middle east conflict we decided to try and push forward. counterpart wrote a new version of the draft he was presenting it to hamas leaders in fact on wednesday morning he was presenting it to himself i was supposed to receive later that evening the copy of the draft in arabic for me to deliver to the israelis were
9:13 am
waiting for it and the egyptian intelligence. having a truce with them would strengthen them there were people who believe that what we need to do is systematically we can have that they will fall out of power and there are those that believe that we need to create deterrence strong enough so that hamas will attack israel the attack of rockets to the civilian population in israel is intolerable by any country and they needed to take action i believe personally that we've tried everything we've assassinated leaders needed military commanders we have put on an economic siege we have bombed them we did cast lead we've tried everything except the dialogue except an attempt to reach an understanding with. verification and for compliance with the involvement of the egyptian military intelligence i think it had a chance to work but now we'll have to postpone it for some time. you're watching r t live from moscow will be keeping you posted on an hourly update with the
9:14 am
casualties on the latest violence ongoing in the gaza strip for now though britain makes a push to support the rebels in syria as london hosts the new offices and alliance and joins fronts in calls to lift the weapon to allow for direct deliveries to fighters on the ground. floor and order in dire straits after a short break here and it's a look at how british police morale is a bottom of the government cuts leave the fight against crime. things are just getting too expensive in london many families just can't afford to live in the city anymore so because of upcoming welfare cuts the government is buying or rented property to relocate people outside of the city the maximum
9:15 am
housing allowance for welfare will go down to four hundred pounds a month which is peanuts compared to the one thousand two hundred fifty pounds need to pay for the average three room apartment expelling the poor from london seems a bit fishy to me so instead of say regulating prices or card for big using the money from the welfare cuts to create jobs so people can earn a living for themselves rather than rely on handouts london is the side to make itself some official get to. what is to call a place where everyone from a certain economic classes forcibly shove to although this may sound like some sort of help from the government it seems to me like a means to get rid of the poor rather than trying to make the poor less poor but that's just my opinion. wealthy british science. is not on.

9:18 am
russian president outlines about this long career is not the only controversial events about the girls to warden over the years and stressed that it's really difficult to support people who often have elements of a religious or racial hatred in their very activities but for more details all of this media were waiting for a media conference set to take place a leader on friday of course all before and that as soon as it happens. it appears going off right now western nations have begun a crusade of support for the syrian rebels a britain says it will discuss the lifting of an e.u. arms embargo to stop funneling weapons to the opposition other france the first country to recognize the newly formed anti regime alliance the national coalition is also pushing for supplies of defensive arms of the syrian opposition is in london lobbying for more support to overthrow the assad government britain wants to see a clear plan of political transition from the alliance and could be next in line to officially recognize the new group just a day ago turkey gave the rebels
9:19 am
a major boost by recognizing ben was a legitimate representative of the country's people german journalist and well ochsner writer says that turkey's move to help the opposition could ultimately the end of the day backfire against that country's people. within the last church people supporting the red lights and i don't see this here in reverse we know that the rebels are fighting against governments are coming from all over the region they are coming from because it's reaching there are coming from of from yemen we know that now rebels coming from levy and even from sudan but that turkey is providing the infrastructure for these mercenaries are jihadists who are coming into the syrian country this politics towards syria it's a very short term politics it's the fuel short term and. what this is here and if syria would be split among the florida courts in this country which i know is supported by the west by turkey and by. it. countries turkey would witness this war let's sooner or later

with twists and turns been the hallmarks of this campaign for you to watch to do because you've never seen anything like this until. what's up guys i'm abby martin so today the occupy wall street movement has made history its latest venture an economic project called the rolling jubilee which aims to help people by paying off their outstanding debt in a way they'll do this is by buying your debt for pennies on the dollar but instead of collecting it though abolish it is it's a bailout but instead of bailing out the banks occupiers offering to bail out you and me but this is just an innovative idea it's a practical answer to a very harrowing problem in this country so for all you haters out there who say the occupy was nothing more than a bunch of aimless protests and empty rhetoric you're wrong because this is just yet.
