shelling and airstrikes a recap of across the gaza for six a straight day as the israel deep freeze of the strip begay while palestinian medics say a lot of fatalities obsolescent. and israel could be just hours away from a gaza brandon invasion having issued hamas with a six point ultimatum he wanted to avert and then also. there's a whole raft of letters which show you what you believe we don't have freedom of speech. for their right to protest as a public order to ensure i'll blow even the ones harmless of insult regardless of whether anyone is that you offended. bloodthirst save the landing three

international space station crew members touched down in the snowy lands of hasn't stopped holding her for months. watching live from moscow with me to say israel continues to shell of gaza was rockets from both and see what the number killed in the strike zone was doubling within the past day palestinian deaths will reportedly exceeds ninety or on top of them civilians including women and children. who's inside gaza tells us what he is a witness was a flaw this report contains some disturbing images. the smalling the death toll has risen here. as a writes it is exciting writes this is as israel targets who it considers terrorist

militants the taking of the hamas masses militant wing and gaza it's 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 we heard yesterday of the al the lone massacre in which more than four children were killed that is as israel mistakenly struck a civilian building as it was hoping to assassinate the leader of the masses a rocket will actually begin it between sunday and monday that has been what 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 man with more than forty injured in that one of the most deadliest strikes here in gaza of the most recent days having visited the hospitals here for example love the most the strongest hospital here in gaza. what we're

saying is from a human point of view fifty percent of the people coming in at least the children crying for the parents as they come in with horrific running injuries when i go to the mortuary i'm seeing more than fifty percent of the people the children 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 and the bloodshed could yet worsen as israel warns it's hours and not days it before it intensifies attacks on gaza the state issued a thirty six hour ultimatum demanding that hamas us stop firing rockets into israeli territory r t policy and brings has moved 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 in israel three israeli civilians have so far who 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 has 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 in fact it launches such an offensive it will lose international sympathy it's where these warnings particularly from the government of the u.k. that israel is relying on the united states as it has in the process to back it up we're also hearing more and more many israelis voiced the opinion that they believe

that gaza is on not innocent and this comes from the interview that we're looking at a grinding civilian death count in gaza what i'm hearing is where these 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 a loan so frequently now in what it says all targeted killings that in fact when it lands uprooting and killing civilians there's a list from the palestinian center for human rights is a ground invasion is a terrifying prospect for those who remember the israeli offensive four years ago. there is widespread fear among the 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 a hospital on thursday which with second day of. this current escalation and spoke with the director general of the hospital there and he advised me that they. were just interrupted there on an ongoing basis. that. they are always short of regular medical supplies. because the situation has worsened their lack and 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 same continually injuries and severely severely wounded so this situation is very grim in relation to the

hospitals israeli jets have also bombed a media complex and. foreign and local journalist injuring at least six artie's arabic channel was among those affected as one of its correspondents told us. not have to find a pot of 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 at that moment we decided to take a break and are working to look for gas so that we can continue working early in the morning we left at around one am and had to at all have 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 on its own acceptable that media workers get attacked in such a way in situations like this we usually don't go to our homes just like we did

during the hostilities 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. israel maintains that its entire operation is aimed only at crippling come us but one question to over the risk to journalists by israeli strikes on the international media offices military spokesperson ever tell label of it said it was on the reporter's own heads. 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 and so on 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 rejig 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 as

a matter of fact more than one hundred thirty trucks will 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 one off hamas counter demands to israel's all to mail term is an end to the gaza blockade a long running siege that has dragged the strips into poverty and chris gunness from the un says the recent turmoil is dragging the area towards a humanitarian disaster. we were hearing as have 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 long ready 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 must and forth with the slater's outburst of violence say in the holy land has left many on the sidelines and already the onslaught against gaza is spawning protest worldwide activists and demonstrators in a number of countries have rallied to decry the deaths and to demand an immediate end to the fighting. last russian pledges to raise the latest gaza are offensive adding un war fishel and public reaction and ongoing coverage of the

situation both in israel and gaza on our website right now. i'll be back with other news in a couple of minutes to stay with us. culture is that so much about the taxpayers and i mean to say she's been a lot of people at area china who successfully transition to fell through another leadership change the last decade has witnessed this country transformed a tremendous speed. she didn't sorrow. and hope for escape.

a campaign to overturn a stifling public order act is heating up with critics saying it denies people their basic rights of free speech r.t. sarah for reports. 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 right wrong there's a whole raft of legislation which stops. what you believe we don't have freedom of speech anymore and one piece of blue in particular is section five of the public order act one the suppose that's causing big problems while the slower has been used for two particular why use force 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 if

everything else fails they see being called 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 a requirement to praise that the person intended any negative consequences from something they said oh that only has to be likely to have caused offense 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 days on the receiving end of the law and had to live with the consequences. cases many of which are eventually thrown out as appeal for 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 i was prosecuted for this

alleged crime. really in a free society insults are not nice but they shouldn't be criminal offenses when it comes to defending free speech many feel what we're actually talking about is protecting all right wolf. the essence of democracy your sense of democracy some people wondering around certain. and smiling at one another it's about informed debate about a whole range of issues a must and should be off limits increasingly dissolve cases where the station five rules being led to a huge public outcry and a campaign to get the little changed. whether it hurts people or it is souls people speech must be free is the fact that 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 we want to serve. it seems that in some parts of america obama supporters are considered responsible enough to own firearms at least that's the opinion of one

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 above the earth's surface in a rare pre-dawn in the dark landing in the. step where it's extremely cold and there is no 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 what shares as well as scientific and medical experiments they even did

missiles in order to bolster anti aircraft defenses turkish government has been intense talks with nato after a number of syrian shells landed in its territory the united states at the neverland and germany are the only countries able to supply the necessary mistrials . for obama is in cambodia for the final leg of his stall the asia earlier he became the first serving u.s. president to visit my mother praising political reform there but insisting the country still has much for that to go some experts suggest that always part of america's attempts to wrestle influence in the region away from china relationship between the two superpowers is up for discussion in peter lavelle's cross-talk program shortly here on r.t. . for the time being still washington is putting a lot of. effort to reassure china it is not trying to do religious groups 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 nine hundred eighty nine would you'll see it 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. that full program is coming up in just a few minutes to stay with us. texas wants to pull away from the usa effectively 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 us a little civil war thing that happened 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 for tour a kind of but he's out of office how do 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 cede you should really understand what that means and what you're in for the founding fathers sure did but that's just my opinion.

of. the wall. it is. a long way to welcome across town peter lavelle china has successfully transition

did sell through another leadership change the last decade has witnessed this country transformed at tremendous speed and become the second largest economic power in the world what can we expect over the next decade from china many are wary of china's rise the real worry though is how the rest of the world reacts to that problem. crosstime china's new geopolitics in the twenty first century i'm joined by jonathan whole slagged in brussels he is a research fellow at the brussels institute of contemporary china studies in washington we have brian becker he is a national coordinator for the answer coalition and in san francisco we cross to drew gladney he is the president of the pacific basin institute and a professor of anthropology at pomona college i gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want jonathan i'd like to go to you first we have a transition in china a ten year transition now we're going to have another ten years under this

leadership what's the difference going to be. well i think essentially it's a choice for continuation we have a line appear of felf seven fairly conservative leaders and surely the guys who could really make a change in terms of economic political reforms have been largely sidelined and replaced to for example the state council so i think probably we will see more of the same i really don't as this debate a lot of bold and fundamental reforms in this country in the next five or ten years ok brian where do you come in on that ok because you know we've everyone's been watching china china's rise you know when does it arrive. well china has quite a ways to go in terms of becoming a fully developed country as it itself admits i think that jonathan is right that the leadership chooses to have continuity they want stability they have a clearly defined and highly refined foreign policy which basically suggested what they're mainly concerned about is there are.
