exchange of fire rages on between israel and gaza with loud explosions heard throughout the night sunday has been the bloodiest day of the carnage so far with dozens of civilians killed despite the claim it's targeting terrorists among other targets civilian homes and refugee camps while tel aviv comes under rocket attack yet again. and other stories from this week israel's troops exchange for i would syria the rebels are gaining more support from the west big to remove the assad regime. and the eurozone sinks back into recession as millions take to the streets in the first coordinated pan-european strike marring an end to austerity.

this is artie's weekly news review on the very latest developments with me carrie jobst. well tensions between gaza and israel have risen again as the two sides exchanged rounds of heavy artillery fire massive explosions can be heard rocking the area at the moment dozens of palestinians were killed on sunday in what was the bloodiest day of the campaign filmmaker and activist in gaza. in the last few hours we've been hearing increasing noises from the gazan population and political analysts here saying that they do feel that a ground invasion is impending still a few hours ago and yesterday that was looking increasingly unlikely but now it's looking increasingly likely as things have really risky late by i mean west gaza city where most of the internationals are based and here things are better but if

you leave this small radius safe zone quite safe zone things become extremely dangerous all of the cars here for the press international's drive with hazard lights on so that israel knows that these are civilian cars most people are in their homes seeking refuge in the best way that they can i don't know bomb shelters here even for hamas government officials but people are trying the best they can to buckle down not knowing what is going to happen in these next few hours remembering that most violence is when a fix is during the night in the early hours of the day that's yet to come hundreds of egyptians have arrived at one of the largest hospitals here in gaza for the precise and exact reason that this largest and strongest hospital in this tiny strip of land is suffering from a total lack of strength in terms of medical provision there just inundated with over six hundred eighty injuries throughout the gaza strip in the last five days the i.c.u. beds are full exception medical supplies are in short supply medicine is in short

supply normally in gaza outside of this war even paracetamol is in short supply so you can just imagine what is happening with this escalation in war. when israeli defense forces spokesperson has described an airstrike on a house that killed twelve palestinians as a mistake as its target had been a mass commando attack is believed to of course the largest death toll in a single incident since the carnage began on wednesday ortiz paula slayer has more . the reports we're receiving is that hoff of the people who have so far been treated at shifa hospital which is the biggest hospital in gaza city off of the people being rushed there are in fact children the hospital is simply not coping it's running short of space and also medical supplies at the same time there was an israeli air force strike ten members of the same family killed when a three story building in which they were collapsed around him were also witnessing an increase in the target of journalists sister organization we see you all have an

office in gaza city and just an hour off today miss the office because of electricity cuts that office was destroyed by an israeli air force strike the israeli air force has targeted two media buildings and the army is not apologetic for this it says that it was in fact taught in the patient and ten on the roof of the buildings that are being used by her must and that the i.d.f. did in fact know that there were journalists in this building we do know that several people among them journalists have been injured so we're hearing from the army that they were aware that these foreign journalists and that it's becoming increasingly more dangerous for foreign journalists to work inside gaza and get the story out two rockets have been intercepted in the skies over television now they were intercepted by the i am the missile defense system that was only relieved of the city on a saturday this is the fifth straight day that tel aviv has been on the receiving end of a long range ukrainian made missiles we're talking to people here in tel aviv certainly

immediately after we had these two missiles that were intercepted the general mood here is that the mall tel aviv comes under the firing line of missiles the more the government is going to be more prone to wards launching a ground offensive there has continued to be movement of tanks and armored personnel vehicles along the israeli gaza border we also heard from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at his weekly cabinet meeting that he will significantly expand his operation in gaza and many people are reading into that that that means that a ground offensive is on the. cards the idea of cheats also ordered an increase in the number of sorties aimed at militants in gaza so we are expecting that there are also be an increase in strikes over that of a gaza city in addition to this we having seventy five thousand reservists who gathering in the south of the country they haven't been given orders as far as we're aware but certainly they are positioned well positioned to move into gaza if indeed they are called on to do that london however has warned the tel aviv government not to go ahead with any kind of ground offensive saying that this will

merely not be made well in the international community and be hard to justify but we have however heard from the american president barack obama and he said that israel has the right to protect itself so there is a reliance amongst israelis that if they go ahead with this ground offensive they will receive support as they always have in the past from washington the army has also sealed all roads around gaza so those two and now they indicated that a ground offensive could be just a matter of hours if not days away. well it's we are a big correspondent side seventeen has been working in the media office in gaza just before israeli rockets hit it and this is what he told us earlier. not have that. no one expected this during the strikes power supplies often get cut off and then it becomes really difficult for us to find fuel for the generator i had that at that moment we decided to take a break in our work and go look for gas so that we can continue working early in

the morning we left at around one am and added to it all happened some of our friends are now in hospital just a little while ago there was a press conference where it was said that such an attack must be completely ruled out as a journalist can become targets for strikes a correspondent should share what he or she sees with the world even israeli journalists report from gaza it's unacceptable that media workers get attacked in such a way that in situations like this we usually don't go to our homes just like we did muttering that has still a tease of two thousand and eight in two thousand and nine even though we know this is really dangerous up to the point of a ground operation however we prefer to stay at the office using any chance to do our job whenever the electricity comes on when the electricity was off we decided to go look for generator fuel and that's what saved us we're talking about four tower blocks in gaza that have been used by media outlets since two thousand during the war in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine israel struck these

buildings to some of our colleagues were injured and we know that we do a dangerous job. well my colleague bill dogged intervened israeli defense forces spokesperson fatah leave it he said the journalists certain israeli strikes only have themselves to play. we're talking about two media buildings indeed but on the roofs of these media buildings hamas wisely positioned a whole system of communications and electronics for its own personal or operational work we targeted only these and ten as these communications center and i spread films earlier today showing this exactly and you can see an accurate hit on the roof none of the floors were targeted of course there was a little bit of. it as a result of the explosives on the windows shattered and so on but the direction was not to the floors but rather than ten as the communication centers on the roof i

think that if a journalist chooses to locate himself near hamas facility that's a mistake and we are now in operation defending half of this country's population and we are determined to continue with this operation until we bring some peace and quiet to this country the equation is very clear if there will be quiet in israel there will be peace and quiet in gaza but of course what the international community is really concerned about now is the increasing number of civilian deaths now last night i spoke with one of your colleagues joe sherman he claimed the mass is actually rounding up civilians to shield targets you're about to bomb no now how can a mass possibly know your exact targets and respond quickly enough hamas to start getting all the israeli cities you are more than welcome to spend just two hours in one of the biggest israeli cities that were targeted for the past two years either be'er sheva or ashkelon which dog each of these cities have more than two hundred thousand people did you ever feel what it's like to run into a shelter and have fifteen seconds to do it or to raise children in

a family inside a shelter protected room and sleep there night after night this is not something normal this should not be this way but of course we can also go as well as we can also regardless the same question of course i beg to differ because you can't make this equation hamas the star getting sick. billions we are not looking to target civilians we are targeting terrorists and the why is. the very reason the core reason why this is happening is because of israeli policy towards the gazans the way they've been suffering from this blockade that has been the provocation as well blockade there is a border to region of the roughest border it's opened do you know that every day we allow patients from gaza to get hospitalization in israel despite the rocket fire do you know that we supply electricity to gaza we supply truckloads with supplies every day even today it's a matter of fact more than one hundred thirty trucks entered gaza with a variety of supplies according to the requests despite of the rocket fire what other country in the world would act this way. well meanwhile the u.n.

spokesman chris gunness says a gaza or is it headed for humanitarian disaster due to political failure israeli bombing runs on a notorious blockade. we were hearing as others that the situation in shifa hospital is deteriorating very rapidly and let's not forget that even before this latest flare up in violence shifa hospital had been hit by the blockade there was a lack of medicines there was a lack of training a lack of equipment so an already bad situation in that hospital one of the largest in the occupied palestinian territory has been made worse there are shortages according to the world health organization of essential and lifesaving drugs what we're seeing in gaza is the result of political failure we call on the politicians and the people who are able to make peace to redouble their efforts to do so because for every hour that goes past another child another woman another civilian

the elderly the sick the dying they are in harm's way it's a situation which we in the united nations and in under find unacceptable in must end and it was and forthwith. for there and also online we are bringing you the very latest from the middle east with live updates on our twitter stream and our website r.t. dot com of course you can log on there to find out about an unexpected third party joining forces with the people of gaza outrage with acclaimed ongoing and use of human rights internet hacktivist group anonymous declares cyber war on israel details of their online campaign on our website. well coming up in the program the bomber is set to become the first u.s.

austerity is a solution to the current problems being faced by your the european citizenry and in particular by the southern european citizenry the problem is what does that austerity mean is it neoliberal e.u. austerity where you cut basically all of those all of the social protection that keeps people from descending down to a sort of downward spiral of social misery and with all of that escalating conflict or do you leave social protection in place and cut in places where there really is overspending such as a bank bank bailouts and and and areas like these. frank a bomber has arrived in thailand kicking off his three day asian tour he says his first international trip since reelection making good on his promises of a shift towards the asia pacific and american foreign policy his next stop them are making the first u.s. president to pay an official visit to the nation for a battle head on to come both here for the summit of the sensation of southeast
