a week of bloodshed on the gaza border has halted with a cease fire to an strikes which have killed five israelis and more than one hundred fifty palestinians the truce began shakily with several rockets fired into southern israel after the deal was sealed here's our correspondent in tel aviv policy or. a ceasefire has been announced and agreed to by both israel and hamas this is the second time in two days that we've heard such an announcement but this time it's a new does seem as if it's accurate now the ceasefire is a surprise to everyone it comes off to a bloody day both in israel and gaza on wednesday there was a bus bombing in tel aviv twenty eight people were injured and very much the reaction after that us bombing was definitely not he was not going to launch a ground offensive into gaza rather than announce a cease fire so definitely here in tel aviv people have been taken by surprise now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu earlier held a telephone calls with the american president barack obama in that phone call he
1:02 am
said that israel was ready to give this cease fire a chance is what is of course very concerned around the claim that it needs to lift its blockade of the information we have is that while agreeing to the cease fire it has not given the nod that in fact it will lift the blockade it has had on gaza for several years now but certainly the focus on everyone's mind is the cease fire and whether or not to prove to be able to hold in the coming hours and the coming days . as the year is also updating you on the situation in the middle east via her twitter feed in a recent post she says there are protests taking place in southern israel against the cease fire deal check the latest at all asleep or underscore r t. down over whether the truce can hold out are fueled by the underlying disputes between israel and hamas that are far from resolved. brings us more on their deeply divided relations and how previous deals have panned out. this ceasefire deal
1:03 am
doesn't even begin to address the root causes of the conflict then as long as they remain the decades long cycle of violence is almost assured to continue by now most people lost track of all the previous cease fire agreements and more generally of where it all started and it became for the most part a chicken and egg conversation you have the years long suppression of the palestinians we saw the radical forces among them rising in striking it as well with is well coming back at them so hard that even most peaceful palestinian started sympathizing with radical forces without going too far back in history in two thousand and six the palestinians in gaza elected hamas that promised a more affirmative response to these really occupation in response israel put gaza under blockade the list of import was directions among many many other things including things like cement wood cattle animal medicine musical latest romans notebooks at one point even lentils pasta tomato paste and chocolate
1:04 am
were on the list of items not allowed into gaza it's not easy to gauge what the blockade meant for the people there and all the humiliation that went with it is well insisted that the purpose of the blockade was to pressure hamas into ending the rocket attacks the attacks did not stop they intensified in two thousand and eight israel launched a major assault on gaza the operation cast lead killed more than a thousand palestinians and thirteen israelis did not solve the problem again it got worse of merican officials keep repeating the mantra israel has the right to defend itself it sure does but the tragedy is that the palestinians to think they are defending themselves. israel's deputy foreign minister says most of those killed and injured in the bombardment of gaza quote deserved it because he claims they were armed terrorists palestinian health officials and human rights activists however insist more than two thirds of those who died were civilians with almost
1:05 am
half of them children israel though says the ratio is lower r.t. talked to one of the country's m.p.'s who says her government conducted the assault in a very measured way. israel is putting so much effort to ensure that civilians are not hurt. i'm sorry but look at what we're spending on our money we're spending our money on defending our civilians making sure they're safe and making sure that we can we do not hurt civilians when we go to war what this hamas spend their money on they are hiding behind television crews they are hiding behind journalists and israel is doing something on paralleled in the history of warfare it making sure that people who are not involved are not killed and israel is really been commended by all countries not just for having the right to defend its citizens but also for the fact that it is couldn't ducting itself in
1:06 am
a way that is very proportional and very measured. journalist and anti-war activists down the bar says a cease fire might save the palestinians from bombs but not from the consequences of the years long israeli blockade. their condition degraded from being storing to being starving and bombed and now the bombing apparently will stop and so that is a reason to celebrate as meager as it might seem in the face of starvation again the the precondition to dealing with that is to give the people it's not just us at least you know enough to survive and have a decent life right now it's a million and a half people in open an open air prison camp without food without medicine without the material means of survival except for those crumbs that are allowed to pass through the hands of his release and until that changes israel will not see peace. well we'll update you on the situation surrounding the cease fire throughout the day and you can get fully across the story with our coverage and analysis from the
1:07 am
outset at dot com. eight leaders are set for a major showdown in brussels where they are gathering to thrash out a budget deal while some states are calling for a reduction in spending those heavily dependent on e.u. funds are fiercely against any cuts britain has the loudest voice and gas budget increase but as artie's laura smith reports the chances for it to strike a good deal a very slim. it's not shaping up to be a pleasant couple of days in brussels after three years of economic turmoil in the e.u. which if we can political. talk could be emerging on one side northern europe and countries like the u.k. which are demanding huge cut in spending to match. that's making countries to the
1:08 am
south and east who are dependent on cash from brussels very an easy way you present herman van rompuy between them he suggested seventy five billion euros. to the more than when the it budget but that. britain appears to warm to the idea really wants to cut two hundred forty billion all that means leaders from the budget divide are threatening. david cameron heading to brussels on what many are calling mission impossible heat under intense pressure to cut its budget contribution but the daily telegraph newspaper understands that his negotiating position is based on the e.u. budget as a whole not the u.k. in the budget that could lead to him signing a deal that reduces it as a whole but increases britain's coach that wouldn't be at all popular and could
1:09 am
easily lead to another rebellion in cameron's government but at the situation it's not clear at all whether a deal will be possible. the u.k.'s economic plight is also adding to the pressure that david cameron is facing and the latest show of anger thousands of students have hit the streets of london for testing against rising university fees and the loss of financial support our first reports. then not to get the high tuition fees that we see put in place in the how to get cuts to education but maybe most. parliament where we're completely closed off by this is a promise by the live before the last election that they wouldn't raise the tuition fees that it goes. a couple of years ago you had each month of backlash and students about that i mean it's very tough because they said at the time even up
1:10 am
until the point they were bringing in the rise in tuition fees that not every university with a very much known amount that nine thousand pounds a year i was actually what we've seen is a lot of the universities are charging that top of the. very high the fact that they're bad people who have access to higher level education at university but that's really the one of the main points of the students here being trying to make . greek leaders are furious at the country being left in limbo after european leaders couldn't agree on handing over the next thirty one billion euros avon's vitally needs to avoid insolvency it straight into that strange to me debtors demands with thousands of layoffs that sparked even more protests economists on his rada says people there are on the edge. but you have this very old kind of blame game going on between the greek government and it i meant for the troika go together a bit if you want to kind of the dog ate my homework kind of excuse me going on
1:11 am
over and over again both those were very disastrous a lot of fun at all or results for people here on the ground people are really not buying into this kind of there which is a very blatant lie going on these going to excuses i'm just an example just to show you how many things are going on are not really being very much reported total i couldn't three hundred twenty five municipalities across the entire country until yesterday and i may have already lost count of two hundred a month or two that not being ok by the old look by their workers who are refusing to just let it go on because these are the workers you're threatened with images immediately or due to too late this kind of i could say i was rooting for the great bottom and should be able to really put your heating on a fight on the ground i was just in my truck with international media making up a point that actually how max geyser is always there to expose those screaming profits from people suffering the kaiser report is coming up next hour on our team here's a preview. and start trading hedge funds shadow banking system accounting firms all
1:12 am
of committing massive pollution and fraud the austerity is right as a response because there's no leadership there's no government let the global insurrection against banker occupation continue let us billion people in the streets with torches hunt down these bankers and do what they have to do together is. now civil rights abuses in bahrain have received condemnation as the standard slams the gulf states rulers for the ongoing violence oppression of the sands one doubts after the short break. british live demo minister lynne featherstone said that since women have babies it
1:13 am
allows men to pass them up on the letter to power essentially children are a setback for women who want to be successful and equal to men so they want to give men the option of taking maternity leave or would that be paternity leave out all i kind of see the logic of her view but my question is featherstone is why exactly is success in the corporate world the primary goal of life for men and women as a feminist i would think you understand that wanting to fight your way up a ladder to buy a big car replace your shortcomings is a very male way of judging success are women who choose to have families failures or at least unsuccessful in your book even as a man i know that my pocket is really empty after having the first of hopefully many kids but i don't see our child as a financial setback keeping me from buying an x. box guess what success is relative to the goal and maybe a corporate boardroom vision of success isn't for everyone women who have kids are failures in my opinion but then again that's just my opinion.

every other day goings used to depend on wells in their neighborhoods for water but the population in the small state triples during the peak tourist season and with no proper sewage systems in place many wells have become contaminated forcing locals to rely on the erratic public supply. for emergency. room have. that plastic. and we have to keep the was there. but while the locals access to water is draining. just down the road water flows freely in the resorts or tourists enjoy fountains fish ponds and splashing in the pools that's because hotel leaders can afford to dominate the limited supply even if they do so illegally most five star hotels get water from tankers and most tankers operate without a license they take water from local wells in neighborhoods where extraction is

what's up guys i'm not a martin so i'm sure you've heard the latest israel and hamas have now agreed to a cease fire marking a somber and eight days of the most violent fighting between the two countries in nearly four years secretary of state hillary clinton who sought to facilitate a role in the cease fire said the agreement will quote improve conditions for the people of gaza and provide security for the people of israel yes the fighting has stopped but will things really improve when the damage has already been done. a ceasefire will never bring back one hundred forty palestinians that died nor will it make amends for the five israelis who died along with the twenty seven who were wounded in this morning's bus bombing in tel aviv you see death and destruction are never justifiable and really what was achieved in all of this just more fear more animosity from those that were affected all of which breeds more terrorism look at simple violence begets violence terror begets terror until we realize that we will
