eleven am in the russian capital you're watching artsy a marina joshie welcome to the program now israel's ongoing bombardment of gaza has put the number of palestinians killed over one hundred more than half of the victims are civilians and the numbers are rising sharply as israel increasingly targets heavily populated areas journalist harry fear is in gaza and described to us the worsening plight of its people. the collateral damage toll is going up steadily and what is striking here in gaza is that the number of innocents being killed particularly children and women is of such a high proportion of the total destruction of the palestine stadium which is a football stadium here in central gaza city you also heard of israel targeting the ministry of youth another child has been killed the hospitals here and the medical professors except for the ministry of health is saying that eighty percent more than eighty percent of those being arrived injured to the hospitals here are
2:02 am
civilians the overwhelming majority of those women and children i mean talking to some of these terrorized gazan residents my head of we were safely sitting inside our houses and all of a sudden rockets and bombs fell upon us from everywhere children woman an old man with terrified the picture says it all you can see the destruction we tell the whole world no place is safe hearing gaza our house is a target our playgrounds a target the situation is horrific. yesterday just after midnight something unimaginable happened i only saw windows glass and shells flying here and there the houses around were destroyed and the sole target of the house identical to this one followed by the destruction of ten other homes what for i don't understand that house is empty there is no one living there and they know that. but
2:03 am
you know the injured arriving at all of the hospitals around the gaza strip in the last two hours as airstrikes are afflicting all of the gaza strip all of the usual places that have been hit over the last few days the situation is very critical in these last moments. the increasingly indiscriminate killings are seeing chances of a truce between israel and hamas grow slimmer talks are happening but despite that israel still warning gazans that if rocket fire doesn't stop within hours they'll be subjected to a ground operation artis middle east correspondent paula sleepier is following the diplomatic wrangles. international community is warning tel aviv against launching any kind of ground offensive although the latest word from the israeli government is a thirty six hour truce in terms of which it says this is the deadline for hamas to come to the party and if it doesn't it is going to go ahead with a ground operation we witnessing a lot of war mongering amongst the israeli leadership gilad shalit all of whom is one of the sons of a former israeli prime minister ariel sharon went on record as saying that gaza
2:04 am
needed to be flattened like a machine but we're hearing from other israeli parliamentarians who've said things like all palestinians need to be mowed down but there are no innocents in gaza there's a school of thought that also believes that because the gazans elected hamas leadership everybody in gaza is potentially a target for the israeli army and the israeli transport minister went so far as to say that gaza needs to be bombed to the extent that everybody flees from gaza into egypt sinai peninsula another point that is also interesting and the point that we've been monitoring here at r.t. is the whole media war it's a wall that israel by and large has always had the upper hand of a war that it essentially has used through the social media to garner support for have a look while israeli politicians weigh up whether or not to send their army into gaza they've had new here's a taishan him only not the p.r. machine into the social media battlefield. one israeli was killed yesterday in the

attack from gaza my house took a direct hit israeli citizens experience indescribable suffering this video offers a sophisticated alternative to the diddly reality on the ground a growing civilian death toll in gaza at the hands of the i.d.f. today very a battle the campaign online offline in the electronic media for the hearts and minds of public opinion it's very very important when the israelis killed her must be the homage of bari last. week they didn't just kill him they instantly posted this video on you tube and then tweeted a warning to all his comrades that they could be next the ability of the poor longer active duty is also based on how it is being perceived internationally interesting enough this war provides less pictures that for example of the two thousand and eight million war which was taking place in gaza paradoxically again
2:06 am
as cynical as it sounds one of the reasons that there are less but assuming casualties is because israel would like their policies would have less pictures of the war israeli citizens are reporting rocket alerts on facebook and twitter long before the media and answers them it seems the more p.r. you put into promoting war the more justified it looks in the eyes of ordinary people the alcove sumburgh raids militant group in gaza is happy to fight fire with fire posting videos like this one on you tube mourning israelis there wherever they are they will be hunted down and killed again this group of arab students from tel aviv university are taking a break from the political science studies to discuss the politics of the media war . israel is lying to its people it is really reporters are inflaming the situation there is a huge incitement from army analysts they say israel must demolish jazzers even if a rocket hits the target they don't see that and that these really need is very
2:07 am
rude they said that ten people from the same family died but they see that it is legal because they will be hamas members in the future where because there are rockets under the house the battle in cyberspace is well underway but the twenty four seven back and forth exchange on the likes of twitter between hamas and the israeli defense forces it seems the two sides who haven't yet met face to face on the ground have wasted no time confronting each other online policy r.t. television. and polly is keeping an eye on a cease fire efforts and can always check her twitter feed for the latest updates now a member of the israeli parliament told r.t. that the government has unnecessarily escalated the confrontation with hamas they are falling to the house two billion minds out not all of us have. gone but them. they are. normal life exactly the same here. so we are at the shows and exert pressure on

2:13 am
with the biblical story of the tower of babel it was meant to reach up to heaven but ended up instead abandoned left as a symbol of hubris and conceit if you look at it it's considered i guess modern architecture sort of looks like sort of like it's been flattened and squeezed and turn around and it looks like it might even sort of collapse on itself so it's kind of maybe a fitting symbol i think it's very possible that the euro itself the currency will even be around by the time. they finished building like an instruction is do you feel complete by twenty fourteen and it's already known that the president of the e.c.b. will have a room on the forty first floor some say he will not just see a breathtaking c.t. panorama he'll also have a bird's eye view of the turbulent ups and downs of his own troubled empire the e.u. fated eurozone. or r.t. germany. still to come this hour the formation of syria's new opposition coalition

. realized that there was going to be there is behind the development of drones say it means less soldiers come home from war zones in body bags but civilian casualties are piling up we know from pakistan that somewhere around two to three thousand people have been killed in drone strikes because of these unmanned systems it's a lot easier to go to war and therefore there will be much more warfare and the world isn't safe the british government has already spent two billion pounds on development but they're about to commit another two billion on a new armed drone culture could be better spent they could be spent on hospitals and schools rather than on killing machines despite drastic government cuts on welfare spending financing for the drones isn't up for debate to the dismay of locals the daily testing along with the bloodcurdling noise drones on.
