bloodiest day in israel's onslaught on gaza military strikes raised residential buildings to the ground and killed dozens of civilians. while in israel there is a growing feeling that a gaza ground operation is imminent despite the international community recently pushing for ceasefire also this hour. there's a whole raft of legislation which stops you so you what you believe we don't have freedom of speech with. tongue tied and yes controversial laws target people for saying anything which may be considered a fansub even if no one is actually installed.

ten am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshua welcome to the program now israel's escalating its a fans of on gaza the number of deaths has doubled in the past twenty four hours and now exceeds eighty almost half the palestinians killed are believed to be civilians mostly women and children with manny more feared still trapped under the rubble live now to filmmaker and activist harry fear is and gaza won't you harry now the number of innocent people killed in israeli attacks is grow way with whole families being wiped in the airstrikes so just warn our viewers because some of the images we're about to show you are graphic why is the civilian death toll so high. well i mean israel has said that with respect to the most recent massacre what is

being called here of the i'll do low family including more than five children being killed that was due to a technical error as it tried to assassinate the rocket launching head of hamas is millicent twitting and up killing as i say a handful of children instead because of a mistake. while gaza as a dance lee populated small area so tell us more about the humanitarian situation there add the moment what do we know. over nine hundred fifty injuries over fifty percent of those children alone we had last night hundreds of egyptian activists coming to the largest hospital here in gaza city chief a hospital to donate blood to try to alleviate some one element of the humanitarian situation but it's getting ever was this conflict goes on and as every day passes

we are into day six the toll on the health system is going to get more as those injured still being taken care of as that number increases i say over nine hundred fifty now. so here is what more can you tell us about how about what happened over night. ok overnight the family home was talked to that's about twenty minutes drive from here say to an area. a family's home peacefully sleeping at night we don't know yet what justification is what is invoking for that as a result of a five year old boy was killed a nineteen year old woman and a man about thirty eight years old forty more injured including more than fifteen children were injured and what is being called a new massacre in just the last two days. all right filmmaker and activist harry fear in gaza thanks very much for bringing us the very latest.

now as israel increasingly finds itself in how moscow's retaliate or a firing line a ground operation in gaza is becoming more likely here's our middle east correspondent paula sleazier. well we a raid sirens continue mostly in the south of the country the schools there have been shut down and we're talking about a million israelis who essentially are not being able to continue with their lives on a day to day basis this has created the saying that the situation cannot continue and so most israelis if you speak to them do believe that a ground offensive is imminent thousands of id and troops that type by tanks and armored personnel vehicles are massed along the israel gaza border and this has fewer hands in israel's we need to expand its in the bombardment and to ground operation in time soon and of course we heard from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on sunday that he's countries we need to significantly expand its operation into gaza israel's to create goal has been to deter china's from the one thousand rockets into its territory we witnessed again on sunday three rockets

landing and trying to land in tel aviv before they were intercepted the fact that hamas and other militants had these long range missiles and are using them many here in israel say is just another reason why they believe that the government will go in with a ground offensive to try and be isolate these kind of missiles it was not even an opinion in israel and i think it's we've mentioning there it says that the people of gaza are not innocent that they elected hamas and lastly no with the consequences and what this does so the suggest is that some israelis gazans as potential terrorists in inverted commas and they when they feel that these kind of operations where they elevations of the fences are justified and while they won't necessarily support the killing in civilian life it does suggest that israel is a little bit perhaps well brought in in its operations and not needing to be as specific in its targets as the idea of officials themselves. reporting there are now israeli rockets also hit a media compound in gaza where

a number of foreign and local journalists were based six of our were injured as a result of the attack artie's arabic chalo was among those affected as one of its correspondents told us earlier. now have. 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 that at that moment we decided to take a break in our working to 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 maturing that has deliveries of two thousand and eight in two thousand and nine

democrat 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 and 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 but during the war in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine israel struck these buildings too that some of our colleagues were injured and we know that we do a dangerous job. at israeli defense forces spokesperson of a tele village told us that journalists work and gaza at their own risk. 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 explosive some windows shattered in the one i think that if a journalist chooses to locate himself near hamas facility that's a mistake hamas is start getting civilians we are not looking to target civilians we are targeting terrorists while blockade there is a border to reject 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 the trees of the two thousand we supply truckloads with supplies every day even today it's a matter of fact more than one hundred thirty trucks to enter 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 now chris gunness from the u.n. says a humanitarian disaster is looming and gaza because of political failure and the

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 find unacceptable in must end and it was and forth with a thousand have been protesting worldwide against the gaza south including israel demonstrators in several countries are calling for an immediate cease fire now weighing in against governments that are backing israel but he tells of those public protests that are going to coverage of what's really happening in gaza available on our website right now. even foreign ministers are expected to discuss lifting the arms embargo on syria paving the way for direct weapons deliveries to the rebels western nations haue already backed the newly formed syrian opposition coalition but political analyst dan glazebrook believes sending weapons will only inflame the violence. the french

and the tokyo ball games that the syrian national initiative is the sole representative of the syrian people but is clearly clearly not still has massive support in syria especially in the main cities in damascus and aleppo in polls the end of last year showed fifty five percent support. even amongst the opposition many of those in the opposition who i was i don't want him to step down do not actually support the arms militias who are fighting in syria sponsored by the west . really there's two possible outcomes for the war in syria we've seen that the rebels have stepped up offensives in july and all those who failed dismally so that the only possible two solutions are either a cease fire and negotiated settlement all on the other hand it seems like the rebels for them to win and for the syrian state to be destroyed will need massive intervention by the west at least standing up for supplies and even britain and

france now seem to be trying to pave the way for a no fly zone between the outright western invasion remember the west will sell enough but nothing less than total destruction of the syrian state is only and this will guarantee that they can cut off their links to iran and guarantee that they can allow their corporations to basically take over the syrian economy. the u.s. shows a it's a geopolitical top priority for me up after a short break braga obama becomes the first serving american leader can visit myanmar. and their harrowing journey from space to the earth i'm john thomas at mission control and probably all of the heroes are home we've got the details coming up. for sure is that so much of the mayors and i mean to me he does not even like area china in his the rest of the transition did you another leadership change the last

welcome back you're watching our team now from protest against as almost extremist to scientology a u.k. public order act as being blamed for a stifling open debate on a whole range of controversial issues and the campaign to have it overturned is now heading up with critics saying it's depriving people of their basic rights are due sarah for a three quarts. brits are renowned for their sarcastic sense of humor and here in this country we love a good provoking to debate so you would think that free speech to be protected and we'd be able to sell our opinions from the very top right. there's a whole raft of legislation which stops you so you know what you believe it we don't have freedom of speech anymore and one piece of law in particular is a section five of the public order act one is to close this causing big problems

with a slower is produced for two particular why use forcefully to stifle inconvenient political views so views which are against islam against christianity which are against the equality of homosexuals so people who say that sort of stuff can be arrested the second way it's been used by the police. to arrest you if everything else fails they see being caught house includes someone who insulted scientology by calling it a dangerous cult and wait for it someone who called the police. under section five of the public order there's no requirement to praise that the person intended any negative consequences from something they said or did i only has to be likely to have caused the phone so i could be prosecuted for saying or doing something even if no one was actually offended but the who's probably got a very pretty quickly these on the receiving end of this law have had to live with the consequences to try to court cases many of which are eventually thrown out of

appeal before costing the taxpayer a pretty penny i've been a victim to when i protested against islamist extremists who were advocating killing gay people and women have sex outside of marriage but i was prosecuted for this alleged crime to insult really in a free society insults are not nice but i shouldn't be criminal offenses when it comes to defending free speech many feel what we're actually talking about is protecting our right. and yes and so democracy democracy some people wandering around. and smiling one another it's about informed debate about a whole range of issues a must and should be off limits increasingly bizarre cases where the section five bills have led to huge public outcry and the campaign to get the law changed the minister damian green the policing minister said on the seventeenth of september be responding to calls we would normally expect to be responded by night so i

sincerely hope that there will be a change in the. weather and how its people are it is souls people's must be free is the fact the so many people in this country believe that we see in such a fierce fight defending our rights to say whatever we want whenever the law we want to. say. well if you've missed any war stories then you can always have a lot interrogator com there for you right now a government proposal causes public outcry in france or the pastor of claim a bill on same sex marriage will undermine traditional family values and the foundations of our society. and an island thousands marched through dublin and protest against irish laws that led to the death of a woman who was denied help to terminate her pregnancy.

now for the first time ever the u.s. president is visiting me amara barack obama's trip is to underline how asia is pivotal to a second term china's wary though it's concerned america is trying to constrain beijing's influence and its own region at a national affairs and a fan's analyst says that's because washington wants to cement its own authority there but back to states once the regional economic area. speaking over the asia pacific region so united states doesn't want to be towed and i believe that these troubled by obama used to promote the joe security agreements to reveal some of its parts and certainly a realignment of u.s.

foreign for the sea dorothy a ship with super group even more it's not like they were not there of course they were always there but there are i think under obama there are going to eat for the main show before him and trade relations. now as the u.s. pursues its asia focus china welcomes its next generation of leaders this hour to peter lavelle and his guests discuss how the changes could affect the shaky diplomacy between washington and beijing. for the time being still washington is putting a lot of. food to reassure china it is not trying to do really its growth but to some degree control it to make it manageable yes the united states is reassuring china but if there is a domestic opposition in china similar to what happened in iran in two thousand and nine or what happened in syria or what happened in china in one thousand nine hundred nine with tiananmen you'll see that the whole western media and the u.s. government turned suddenly sharply to support that opposition against the chinese communist party that's an underlying part of the politics and i think the chinese

government knows that. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world the congolese city of gone is in danger of being taken over by rebel forces militant group am twenty three has reached the outskirts of the city despite efforts by un peacekeepers and government troops to hold the advance meanwhile civilians have joined government forces as the international community voices deep concern about the fighting. spain's capital has been hit by mass demonstrations with thousands of health workers protesting over budget cuts dreams plans to private eyes parts of the country's health care of may help the struggling budget but also wipe out some clinics for rare diseases last week a sturdy measures triggered general strikes and some of europe's hardest hit countries with spain portugal greece and italy holding

a day of action in solidarity. three international space station crew members have successfully returned to earth after four months and space r.t. schon thomas followed the touchdown for. but i can say that i'm a zero five am has landed safely and it has brought with it the s.s. expedition thirty three crew with them sunny williams from the usa. from japan and europe go from russia now you know making it from space to earth is an exact science but it's never routine in fact let me tell you a little bit about what happened the undocked about two twenty six am moscow time fire the rockets at four fifty eight which brought in nearly just under an hour long process of fall to the earth through the atmosphere from about sixty three miles in the earth's surface in a rare pre-dawn in the dark landing in the cosmic sun. where it's extremely cold

and there is snow on the ground and that landing happened at about five fifty three moscow time now what happens is when that capsule hits the ground it launches a series of ground vehicles about twelve helicopters and three fixed wing aircraft to go looking for the crew they have now been recovered and are safely back and earth after one hundred twenty seven days in space well in space they did educational level as well as scientific and medical experiments they even did maintenance on what is a space aquarium with actual fish in space and they docked with a commercial spacecraft as well as performed three different spacewalks so never a dull moment always something to do up there in space at the international space station this is an incredibly experienced crew in fact sunny williams from the united states has been three hundred twenty two days in space making her the second most experienced woman to have been inspirational to perform seven spacewalks. from

japan he's performed two flights as well and he's the second most experienced japanese astronaut and yuri malenchenko has been up in space six hundred forty two days in his career has done five different space flights and in fact that makes him the seventh most experienced person in terms of insurance and having been in space so incredibly experienced crew back on earth ready to share their experiences here now. john thomas reporting there an op had here in our team it's that old house crosstown. texas wants to pull away from the usa in fact at least twenty states have started petitions for independence after obama won the election with well just

a few voting irregularities but guess what suspicion will never happen it is a very easy thing to do to sign a petition and it is another thing entirely to leave the usa that will civil war thing that happened back back then does anyone the usa honestly think that they are gov has the ball determination to actual rebel i don't think there is a single george washington type among them well maybe just see fit tour a kind of but he's out of office how it makes it seem like revolution or succession is this fun cool easy thing to do with cool slogans and texan flags flying but the reality looks a lot more like the arab spring before you put your name on the dotted line to seed you should really understand what that means and what you're in for the founding father sure did but that's just my opinion.
