at ten pm moscow time the palestinian death toll so after a week of shelling with war casualties fear as israeli fighter jets probably flood warning gazans to evacuate in the face of an imminent invasion. that submit conflicting reports over a potential truce to with a mass claiming that a cease fire agreements all been reached while israel maintains its first needs a show of good faith from gaza we'll bring you up to speed on the latest tonight. also the u.k. recognizes the new syrian rebel bloc as the voice of the people pledging support for the coalition despite a dangerous division in its ranks. and france again loses its cherished aaa credit scores ratings agency sound the alarm over

a threadbare euro zone recovery. hello and a very good evening for me if you just joined us i'm kevin though in this is our first this hour the status of a potential cease fire between the two warring neighbors is a matter of debate tonight hamas has claimed an agreement has all been reached while israel's hinting that bargaining is still in full swing paula slee reports now on just where the cease fire starts. on the one hand we are hearing from a hamas spokesperson who says that the two sides have agreed to a cease fire he says that both hamas and israel agreed to this cease fire that was mediated by cairo but we're not hearing the same from the israeli side in fact they deny this they say that no cease fire has been agreed to they say that the ball is

still in play but details are still being hammered out and in fact we even hearing from some israeli officials who have said that they first want to see a period of twenty four hours of calm before they can give the nod to any kind. truce agreement and as if this is not confusing enough we are also hearing from a senior hamas official who in fact is denying that any kind of cease fire has been agreed to he says that the agreement however is close but certainly not finalized and it is in this atmosphere of conflicting reports and confusion that we now see almost a week of fighting between israel and gaza there was also consequence conflicting reports on the web here we're hearing from the united nations relief and works agency that says that israel has lied on its twitter page and we have seen from the israeli government on its twitter page is that the u n was allowing harass and other militants to fire rockets from school yards these are effectively our schools of the u.n. monitors where the u.n.

flatly denies this and says that this is simply not true so again just a lot of conflicting reports it is in the context of this media war however that israel has always traditionally had an upper hand it does know how to use the social media and it certainly is using it to its benefit in this particular conflict have a look while israeli politicians weigh up whether or not to send their army into gaza they've had no here's a taishan in bowling are they p.r. machines 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 there is a battle a 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 lead a homage o'barry last week they didn't just kill him they instantly posted this video on you tube and then tweeted a warning to. 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 it is cynical and it sounds like one of the reasons that there are less but i've seen 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 then it seems the more p.r. you put into promoting war the more justified it looks in the eyes of ordinary people the outcast sumburgh rage militant group in gaza is happy to fight fire with fire posting videos like this one on youtube morning israel is there where ever

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 say israel must demolish gals or even if a rocket hits the target they don't see that. these really need is very 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 under way with a 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 so as it stands now the number of palestinians killed in israel's

offensive on garza's sharply risen and now stands at around one hundred thirty half of the dead the civilians with local doctors saying with amber of children among the casualties is a lot. let's go live to gaza journalist terry fee is there for us to bring in some information on the spot ari good evening to you over twenty people have reportedly been killed today do we have any details on the nature of the casualties. yes over twenty five now being confirmed dead today including two children in the very city in which i'm standing in talking to you in today in the east of the city this evening two reporters two media workers that actually usually cameramen watching us cameramen here for the television talent channel what was so targeted tonight as they were in a civilian taxi taxi it clearly labelled with press the same sort of taxi that i travel around the gaza strip and they were also killed here tonight so we're saying really to be honest with you targeting of civilians of this nature and also as you

said and alluded to a very high number of civilian children and touring the morgue in the last few hours so we've spoken today with a volunteer doctor who's come from europe who's got a lot of reputation respect here in gaza as an emergency surgeon he's come in the last couple of days to try and lend his hand in helping with all of these dead children coming into the mall will speak to him. very disturbing number of children in the i.c.u. knowledge there are one two three four four or five minors on the respirator with severe head injuries and you know they are civilians they should have been protected the international community should have protected that there are no shelters in gaza because the posed as they're not allowed to dig there are no desire eans early warning system so that they know when the incoming bombs are coming so this is one point seven million people who are absolutely naked as they

are being confronted with the world's fourth strongest army. so we've heard from. doctor with respect to the children being injured now today a friend of mine was killed as he attempted to go to rescue some injured earlier today here as a civilian forty two year old from the godard a family here seven children four girls three boys and he was killed earlier today i just attended his funeral now he is a civilian in the strongest sense of the word is far from being associated with hamas he actually is associated with faster the rival of hamas and he works even full fat on a daily basis so he was caught up as israel's latest collateral damage here earlier today to bury mixed signals coming from israel some suggesting that people should

stay at home others calling for immediate evacuation out of these signals these mixed messages being received. well they're being received in a mixed sense some people are evacuating some people will not evacuate the onerous schools have been opened in parts of gaza city in the last couple of hours to take in large numbers of people who are evacuating i've spoken to gazans who are not evacuating so there's been leaflets saying of eastern parts of the gaza strip saying near it near the border with israel saying evacuate go to gaza city via these routes stay in these areas of gaza city but then there's been signals from the interior ministry of hamas here in gaza saying don't listen to these messages they are merely psychological warfare from israel designed to further terrorize the population to give in with more compromises for when a cease fire comes harry just know we heard from the volunteer doctor miles jill but i just want to pick up on so we'll get some clarification from you just just for our viewers knowledge he was saying there that in gaza there are very few if no

shelters because the gazans weren't allowed to dig is also saying there are no early warning sirens is that actually the case. while there are. some early warning signs when israel strikes this drone often the first missile is used as an early warning signal and sometimes this does actually help palestinians evacuate the area obviously terrorized because it's not an s.m.s. message saying please leave your home sometimes in fewer cases israel sends s.m.s. text messages to people all leaflets you know sends flyers from its fals but generally there are no signals at all given to palestinians sometimes there are but they usually are s.m.s. as i said is there any hope tonight other people in gaza are up to mystic that a cease fire can be achieved in the next twenty four hours we've been hearing that a cease fire may be revealed something may be brokered may be revealed in the next hour or so do you think it's going to happen. the palestinians don't expect

anything good to happen this operation was started seven days ago now over one hundred thirty palestinians have been killed too many of them civilians the palestinians are buckling down tonight not expecting any ceasefire to be realized harry thanks for that take care of yourself very fear journalist and documentary filmmaker following all the developments and bring us up to speed on in cars in the gaza strip thank you. israel's attack on gaza in response to what it says is ongoing hostile action seeing dozens of a groups wall of an impending humanitarian crisis now british human rights. says the situation is desperate. everyone is a target now we've had. over thirty children have been killed now and frankly just days like. of us really it feels like we're in no man's land it just feels like. there's not many homes being targeted now so many civilians have been killed and now we call it even go in the streets and the n.g.o.s are being told to stay in as

well it just feels like we're sitting ducks every explosion options it's like a countdown you don't know exactly where it's going to land we've just been given a warning actually that israel is going to accelerate its assault on gaza and this is this is obviously you know hugely catastrophic for so many of the people here and this is what happened in the gaza attacks last time people were going for days without without without serious traditional food and and of course this is this is a potential disaster the collective punishment of the seeds we're hearing the need the biggest humanitarian crisis is in the hospitals whereby they're short of so many things like that used in one week the amount of funding g.'s and searches and and some basic medical supplies in three months obviously they're really strapped and she's in the medical agencies because so many cases are coming in and we had yesterday the biggest the largest definitely more than day which is our best thirty people killed i spoke to professor of politics from new york university of tissue

did you know she told me that she believes i must never wanted to stand off to. israel's making history teach a miscalculation at this point they have now the obama administration and former terms which they're able to be a little more aggressive on a peace treaty and in addition to that i you'll find within the context of the neighborhood that people you know they really they really want to see a solution to this issue this arab israeli conflict our palestinian conflict they're seeing that israel is becoming more aggressive in the occupied territory it's just that the play the west bank i don't think the mosque wants to be more aggressive i think they wired there are you know they were just legitimate i'm not saying they won't be aggressive was just i certainly will because they still feel that they're under our occupation but you know it's important to note here that they have been trying to govern this area and they still have competition within the area from you know some of the other movements so it's very hard for them to

govern if we don't give them support and i think this is why it's extremely extremely important for the arab league and the egyptians to to step up and speak to in order to help them give them some legitimacy. we're following developments in the middle east conflict on air and online where we've got a dedicated section in somalia of updates and comment. from kevin i would more news just a couple minutes ago on r.t. live from moscow. if you're passing through rushes to veer region you really can walk on the wild

side thousands of kilometers of unspoilt countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunters there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax enforcement means many animals are killed out of the allotted times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive the heart of just the less forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia it's home to a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups who've been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years and most will go back to the wild

for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up and this is where i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf i had a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as pasta parents for the next generation will come here using the older walls as a surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs whose parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolfs reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication will mean that we foil and remains a place where visitors can truly understand the cool of the wild.

beast be told language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the i p interviews intriguing story for you. in troy arabic to find out more visit our big teeth.

the u.k. has become the latest the nation to recognize the recently formed a coalition of syrian opposition forces as the sole legitimate representative of the people it follows official recognition by france and italy and also joint statement of support by e.u. foreign ministers. in london with the latest. they've called the formation of this coalition a major breakthrough that's what william hague said in his statement earlier and he's now recognizing the coalition as the sole legitimate representative of the syrian people now that brings with it major political clout that along with it he also introduced what hague. holds a significant increase in practical support they're going to invite a political representative to come to the u.k. so that's assessed essentially establishing a diplomatic front inviting an ambassador from the this coalition to come to london

but also and this is a thing that's going to give people most pause for thought he's going to commit another one million pounds in what he calls communications support he mentioned a couple of things internet hogs satellite phones to enable the opposition to communicate where and when they're in the field but of course when we say the field what we really mean is the battlefield so people are will be worried about what those communications equipment to going to be used for and basically they'll be saying that the how you use communications in the field is essentially to more effectively target bombs and other ammunition the problem with the syrian opposition for western countries has always been a lack of unity western countries have always said you know get yourselves together and then we'll talk about supporting you more closely and it's true that this coalition does represent a coming together of various factions and forces that have been very old with each other in the past and they've pledged also to let more factions joy if they so

choose but importantly they're all fourteen all is the most groups in the city of aleppo where there's been a lot of fighting who rejects the coalition wholeheartedly they say that it's a conspiratorial project and their reaction to it seems to be that they've got their desire to set up and islamist state in syria so that will worry western countries should give them pause for thought because of course it will increase fears that any arms that are eventually possibly sent to aid the opposition could end up in the wrong hands so one can only hope that that will give western countries just a little bit of course but thought smith first now from all the u.k. recognizing the syrian rebel coalition let's join reach him stop the war coalition good evening thanks for being with us. britain's foreign secretary today than william hague pledging over a million pounds towards what he calls communications support for the coalition do you think a supply of weapons is next. well as your reporter quite rightly pointed out these are meant for military use so they are part of weaponized in the opposition in

syria so yes i think that that will be the direction which we know that they would like to go but they're worried about going because they haven't been able to have a reliable recipient for those weapons before now and so wise move by britain after all the coalition already appears divided doesn't it with the group breaking away looking to create their own islamic state in aleppo begs the question can the block see you back is just ignore what's going on here well that there is a relationship between the western intervention and the degree of fragmentation within me within the opposition which has been occurring within the syrian revolution from the beginning and the more that it going to ground the more the forces on the ground fragment the islamist so they are not the only people who don't like that it's very many or them syrians in the opposition don't like it the left of like you the kurdish parties don't like it because they see the hand of turkey in all in all their so it's a very very divisive process and what it's meant to do is to suppress those elements there was

a genuine revolution in the outcome in syria that was genuinely democratic and independent so we are privileged those elements are willing to do the west building is it going too far to call this group the voice of all syrian the sounds good on paper but is it really true. it's a massive overstatement there your channel four journalist john wrote one point today if you go to this opposition group so website you'll find that the website has just got a front page i mean simply says under construction now if this group can't even get a website together i don't think you can represent all syrians their own mind about be a legitimate government in syria and one reason why it will be a legitimate government is because of the role that the west is playing i mean how many syrians do you think like the fact that today william hague makes the statement yesterday he met with the day before that he's denouncing the palestinians. support for the state of israel that really isn't required to support

which anybody in the arab world should be happy accepting the way the other radicals to still remain in the coalition and and jeopardizing its integrity we talked about one group just now do you think there are others. well i think it's more significant the people who are staying out out of it i think many of the people on the ground low coordinating committees have never liked the business of western intervention they've made it a point in their statements in their press releases and the things that they've said that they don't like they don't think the journey of revolution can come by the by the western system certainly by its military assistance so i think there are very very many people on the ground who are represented here but the danger is as we saw in iraq and in other places only represent groups once they get the support of the west can come to dominate large numbers of people on the ground john just prefigured need a yes or no answer here i'm afraid i mean for all the e.u. nations following the u.k. footsteps do you think it could make foreign intervention similar to what we saw in libya or more likely that's where they'd like to like to go and that's why this is

such a don't just move. or coalition thank you very much. afghanistan's afghanistan's president karzai calls the united states to account ordering officials now to take over the american one prisoner bag two months after control of that facility was due to have passed into afghan hands or got more now later in the program. but another bad day for the eurozone with france stripped of its treasured aaa credit rating to date for a second time this year this time it was the downgrade courtesy of moody's which condemned the bloc second biggest economy is stagnant and exposed crisis strategy just margaret says the time is running out for euro zone giants to act. the european union economically as it stands is an unsustainable organization's an unsustainable financial and economic mess so with this downgrade actually i think it's pushing france and germany and some of the bigger countries to do is recreate

the european union and i mean stop supporting some of the other economies such as responsible spain italy and you know kind of regroup and recreate near kenya in order for the european union generally and france this it quickly to reset itself the economy and the people are going to suffer or there will be significant shocks to their comfort to their pocketbooks to their household there will be a combination of both economic necessary and austerity measures and needs seen across the european union and understandably so you know most citizens aren't ok with that so i do think we will start the war protests across france. well things may be looking bleak for the euro zone taxpayers and in a few minutes after a business report so we tell you how the beauty in the bank is optimism though is hard to spot it will pinch central bank billion dollar age q.b. is completion of what was intended to be a simpler transparency become

a monument to delays and expense but we. also u.k. citizens living next to the cradle of the country's drug program want the costly tests of their craft to stop saying civilians will be the main victims of the machine another story good cover profit business is good. but talking of business hey presto building say hi katie no. drama story strolling one of rush's telephone operators what's the drummer yeah well it's most telecom the state long company the c has had his house round signed by investigators who are following that story we're also going to be talking about the fact that russian oligarchs like to go to london courts to deal with drama you can see the signs of the ruble signs going off the oil is there i'm sure there's a lot of noise like that so they're quite happy about it also it's all coming up in
