the bloodiest day of the israel's onslaught on gaza military strikes razor residential buildings to the ground and killed dozens of civilians. fears growing that gaza ground in operation is amman and as it is will issues a thirty six hour ultimatum to hamas to stop firing also this hour. there's a whole raft of legislation which stops you so you can do what you believe we don't have freedom of speech or tongue tied in the u.k.'s controversial laws at target people for saying anything which may be considered offensive even if no one is actually insulted.

you're watching r t a live from moscow with me tom would say israel's escalating it's offensive on gaza the number of deaths have doubled within the past day and now exceeds nineteen almost half the palestinians killed are believed to be civilians twenty three of them children with many more feared still trapped under rubble journalists and i would as harry fear brings us his account of what's happening in gaza you should be aware that some of the images we're about to show are graphic. this morning the death toll has risen here. as are rights that is except the rights and this is as israel targets who it considers terrorist militants particular of the hamas hamas as militant wing here in gaza is doing so in one of the most densely populated places in the gaza strip home to more than one point five million palestinians yesterday was the deadliest attack here since the

beginning of operation pillar of cloud with two far too high number of children being killed we heard yesterday of the al the lone massacre in which more than four children were killed that is israel mistakenly struck a civilian building as it was hoping to assassinate the leader of hamas is a rocket launching unit between sunday and monday. gazans are calling another massacre of the family. of a five year old boy being killed a nineteen year old woman and a thirty eight year old with more than forty injured in that one of the most deadliest strikes here in gaza the most recent having visited the hospitals here for example love and the strongest hospital here in gaza she what we're saying is from a human point of view fifty percent of the people coming in at least being children crying for the parents as they come in with horrific injuries when i go to the mortuary i'm seeing more than fifty percent of the people the children who are dead

. meanwhile israel says it might be hours that not days before it expands its gaza offensive and c.c.d. a thirty six hour ultimatum demanding that hamas will stop firing rockets at israeli territory a middle east correspondent policia has more from tel aviv. those are the most ominous words we've heard so far that do suggest that the possibility of some kind of ground offensive could be imminent when we talk about the effects of what has been happening since wednesday three israeli civilians have so far been killed rushed me around a dozen have been injured people have been talking about an imminent ground offensive since wednesday we know that roughly seventy five thousand reserve soldiers have been called up they and the regular army have been massing along the israel gaza border we have seen their movement of tanks and armored personnel vehicles for days now this certainly is a sense particularly because the army has closed all roads around gaza that there

is something on the go there have also been four straight days of rockets being fired into tel aviv speaking to people here in tel aviv something has shifted i'm hearing more and more israelis say that they are supporting a ground offensive that they believe it's the only one and only way that militants in gaza can once and for all be dealt with the problem though is that tel aviv is widely aware that if infected launches such an offensive it will lose international sympathy it's heard these warnings particularly from the government of the u.k. but israel is relying on the united states as it has in the past to back it up we're also hearing more and more many israelis voiced the opinion that they believe that god's is on not innocent and this comes from the point of view that we are looking at a rising civilian death count in gaza what i'm hearing israelis tell me is that it is gazans that you make to the hamas government and as a result they want to live with the consequences this is almost a justification for the israeli army getting of the wrong so frequently in what it

says ought targeted killings that in fact when it lands uprooting and killing civilians we also spoke to. from the palestinian center for human rights about how the prospect of a ground offensive is perceived in gaza. there is widespread fear among the pot among the people here the prospect of a ground invasion is really very frightening for people because it's inevitable that the civilian casualties will rise rapidly if that occurs and people here are still traumatized by the memory of operation cast lead which happened less than four years ago in which more than eleven hundred civilians lost their lives and many many more were injured humanitarian crisis is imminent in relation to the hospitals and the supplies that they have i visited as chief of hospital on thursday which was second day of. this current escalation and spoke with the director general of the hospital there and he advised me that they. are. sorry.

sorry we're just interrupted there on an ongoing basis. that. they are always short of regular medical supplies. because the situation has worsened their lack of lacking in such basic supplies that antibiotics i.v. fluids. very basic medical supplies that they require in order to keep this we're. looking after the palestinian people who are being brought in continually injuries and severely wounded so this situation is very grim in relation to the hospitals israeli rockets also hit the media compound in gaza where number of foreign and local journalists were based six of them were injured as a result of the attack israeli defense forces a spokesperson leibovich told us that journalists who work in gaza at the 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 tenners 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 star 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 electricity to gaza we supply truckloads with supplies every day even today it's a matter of fact more than one hundred thirty trucks who entered gaza with

a variety of supplies according to the requests despite of the rocket fire but other country in the world would act this way chris gunness from the un says a humanitarian disaster is looming in 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 in find unacceptable in must end and it was and forth with. thousands have been protesting worldwide against the guard salting fluting in israel demonstrators in several countries are calling for an immediate cease fire now weighing in against governments that are backing israel the details on those a public protests and ongoing coverage of what's really happening in gaza on our website right now.

who insulted scientology by calling it a dangerous cult and wait for it someone who called the police. and the six hundred five or 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 or try to court cases many of which are eventually thrown out as appeal 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
