the ceasefire and the eight days of violence between israel and hamas remains intact tonight but critics say the truce is just a car before the next storm. the european union passes a resolution calling for greater admitted for unity a move that some say could eventually see the blocs armies under the banner of brussels. bahrain court sentences nearly two dozen medics to jail time for sticking to the hippocratic oath and treating protesters that just today are just international reports the victims human rights situation has got worse.

hello good morning when i am here moscow my name is kevin now in the ceasefire between israel and palestinian group hamas reach late on wednesdays no been held for over twenty four hours but it started shakily with several rockets fired from gaza or immediately after the deal was sealed and now the main question is whether israel is going to ease its blockade of the palestinian lands as all these pull asleep reports from tel aviv. a ceasefire ends some of the fiercest fighting we've witnessed in years between israelis and palestinians if indeed the truce holds it will mean that roughly one point seven million gazans will have a spike now from what we've seen eight days of heavy bombardment at the same time it brings with spikes to roughly a million israelis who live in the south of israel and who've been on the receiving end of constant barrage of rockets but i say if it holds because it is perceived as being rather fragile it certainly is a truce that came by surprise it followed a day of deadly violence in which some twenty eight israelis were injured in the

first bus bombing in tel aviv since two thousand and six and there were massive israeli air strikes over gaza so the sense on the ground particularly in the hours leading up to the announcement of the cease fire was that israel was going to go ahead with a ground offensive not only on who has said that he is willing to give this truce a chance he says however he does hold open the possibility to reopen the conflict at a later stage he said and i'm quoting i know that there are citizens in israel that expected and more severe military action to be taken and perhaps we will need to do so there is criticism towards netanyahu particularly among people in the south of the country who would have supported a ground offensive and wanted to see a much harsher israeli reaction we've had protests in several cities in the south we still don't have too much information exactly what the terms of the cease fire do in fact say but i can tell you that israel for its side has committed to ending hostilities in gaza and at the same time stopping with its targeted killings and

mass for its side has also said that it will stop firing rockets into southern israel and staging cross border attacks now there is a lot of questions still hanging over the whole issue of whether or not it is what was left its blockade on gaza that has been a place for several years now we do understand that is what must begin talks re opening this for the border crossings and lifting the blockade and. easing restrictions on the movement of both people and goods i want to since one at the moment is holding a lot of tension on the ground and lot of questions as to whether or not it will stand the test of time. just last hour i spoke to journalist afshin rattansi he told me the battle was uneven as israeli forces had the backing of western. and was no match for the israeli military backed by britain and the united states who supply them with nuclear weapons of mass destruction and so forth it's important because as a democratically elected government of gaza it's proved to have so many allies from

iran to egypt they have to be part of any peace negotiations for one party state which will have to happen scored its victory with the most basic of rationing we got rockets really these home major things there is a sea change in edge of monic power the thing to watch is the right in israel and how they react out of the polling numbers for the quarter coming israeli elections show a swing to the so-called extremist. israel's deputy foreign minister says most of the people hit by the gaza strikes quote deserved it because he claims they were armed terrorists but palestinian health officials and human rights activists say more than two thirds of those killed were civilians with almost half of them children israel though says that ratio is lower actually perry is a former senior advisor for israel's foreign minister ministry and told me these numbers demonstrate the country's military superiority. israel has invested

billions of dollars protecting its people either through more protected rooms so every single rockets which emanated form cars or had the intent to kill in fact it intended to kill many people mass casualties and if we hadn't of invested that money in the protection of our people there would have been far greater numbers on the israeli side so i don't think we need to apologize for the quote that we have invested money to protect our citizens where is the opposition the hamas have actually spent millions if not billions of dollars trying to create a system of terror which bears no regard for the treatment of its own civilians. the aggression may have stopped but deep divisions between israel and hamas remain sparking fears the truce is doomed from the start out he's going to teach you can has more now on the tensions that led to this latest round of violence. this ceasefire deal doesn't even begin to address the root causes of the conflict and 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 the story of the occupation in response israel put gaza under blockade the list of import restrictions among many many other things included things like cement would cat all animal medicine musical latest romans notebooks at one point even lentils pasta tomato paste and chocolate 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 is where 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. and 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. spokeswoman for the israeli foreign ministry alone a stunning says even with such a high civilian death toll in gaza the operation could still be called surgical. did the most possible not to hurt the civilians what we did is we pinpointed our operation first to the terrorist leaders and to their army and the ammunition but i do agree that there are a once in a while there were civilian cattle casualties and we feel very bad about it but as

you know this is not an easy operation no military operation is but by any international standard the collateral damage here is pretty minimal amounts of civilians who died it's hard to say it this way it sounds very bad but it could have been much much worse if we weren't so surgical and if our pilots were not given instructions to be very very precise and to aim is specially at the military terrorist leaders a spokesman for the united nations relief and works agency for palestine chris gunness told me that gazans will never have decent i mean conditions unless the location if they do what we have to see what is going to happen as far as the regime is concerned we have always called for the blockade to be looked to be certain it's a collective punishment of one point six one one at certain million people it has to end even if all the current upsurge in financing that there was a crisis almost every aspect of life you. know it was crisis of

education and we are in the process of building one hundred new schools because there is overcrowding in schools in gaza there is a crisis public health because for example ninety concern to all also in gaza is unthinkable millions of liters of fuel sewage flowing into the city or three day because the suit system it's not functional it's not functional and the list goes on. there's a lot more news analysis on the ceasefire in the middle east over the coming days coming out of course and you get fully up to speed as well if in on the t.v. on a web site r.t. dot com.

the military this is about actually furthering the cause of one united states and europe because they want a single army a single defense industry they want control from the you it's part of their foreign policy and they're actually involved in they want to get in for the high intensity conflicts in their terminology and that means war in my terminology they want to actually you to be involved in wars and to commit our soldiers and our navy people into these kind of conflicts and that is not acceptable and another major battle is underway in brussels over the budget as it may aggravate even for the thousand between those who contribute millions to the e.u. and those who depend on its funds reporting on that soon plus russian activists ramp up their attempts to sue madonna this time claiming big material girls sailing to behave like a virgin is coming up later in the program. in bahrain twenty three doctors have

is one thousand billion euros budgets are about to feel the pinch years of deal making is supposed to yield a budget to twenty twenty covering infrastructure education research and development but after three years of economic turmoil in the e.u. and weakening political ties stark divisions are emerging david cameron is heading to brussels or more many are calling mission impossible he's under intense pressure at home to cut a new budget contributions and has threatened to veto anything beyond a spending greens a promise that goes down well at home where popularity is at an all time low but his hands are tied by what's gone before tony blair as the new deals mean the u.k.'s contribution to brussels is likely to go up in real terms and its cash rebates will be reduced by two billion pounds a year unless cameron can get more budget cuts from brussels he may face more

rebellion in his own party and germany's angela merkel desperate for a deal to sow focus can back to saving the euro but the brussels budget tension has opened and angry new divides on the one side northern european countries like the u.k. which are demanding huge cuts in spending to match this all sterile home that's making countries to the south and east who are dependent on cash from brussels very uneasy it suggests the to tear europe so long demonized and denied by jose manuel barroso as brussels p.r. is becoming a reality well you can independence party financial services program steve doesn't believe real growth can come from brussels. this is a battle between the rich and the poor but actually it's the rich who are the brussels mandarins demanding more for themselves and more money for them to spend

and it's the poor people of europe the fifty percent unemployed youth in spain those starving in greece the people rioting in france and portugal are the ones that are suffering for the greed of the brussels mandarin but what is changing is actually the people of europe are finally waking up that this is a huge battle between them and this political elite who are demanding more from them every single day whilst protecting their own interests we are not helping the public of greece and we're not helping but jobs being lost in the u.k. by defending a system that is palpable it failed and will has no real way of actually achieving growth for the european continent in the future. online quick check of our website r.t. dot com you can check an explosion in the heart russia dramatic pictures to look at this this big bang is leave the result of a massive military invasion but it is we think it is some of the negligence nothing volatile substances propane tank went up nobody injured but a maze of pictures. a dog certainly

a man's best friend most people think that especially though if it's made of deal like this one in itself would clean up japan's fukushima nuclear power plant the great story online from. one of the world's most provocative pop stars is once again in the spotlight russian activists who work trying to drag madonna to court for what they claim is gay propaganda and also accusing the entertainer of breaching state security. reports. not only according to these activists madonna poses great danger to the family institution in russia not only she has offended the feelings of many by openly supporting the gay community in russia during her concert concert in st

petersburg this summer but also these activists believe that she in fact poses a threat to the defense capabilities of russia they say that people who believe what madonna has told them during the concert will be involving themselves in all different sorts of good and thus they will not be willing to serve in the army and protect their country these activists were determined to go to the end with a case they were determined to receive ten million dollars of compensation for moral damages but now the case has been turned down by the judge of the st petersburg court and now in fact these activists will have to pay a certain sum of money for the services of the defending lawyers of the company which was organizing the tour of the american pop star now certainly madonna has been no stranger to different sorts of controversies all throughout her career for instance she exposed nipple during her concert in is also she supported the. controversial punk band pussy riot during her concert in moscow and the biggest intrigue in the biggest question was whether she would turn up for the hearings in

the st petersburg court for now definitely this would not happen but definitely the story has been a very interesting one and if we have any developments on it and your reactions from the pop star we'll certainly deliver those news right away we will wolf one person that gets everyone talking to another coming up soon as wall street's number one enemy. after the break. do we speak your language or not of the. news programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little too much of angles kidneys stories. for you here. in the spanish. visit.

thanks. i have max kaiser welcome to the kaiser report. who knows what evil lurks in the heart of the global financial system the shadow knows yes the shadow has the power

to cloud men's minds so they cannot see the shadow stacie max skies there i am looking like a shadow today in honor of the shadow banking system the shadow banking grows to sixty seven trillion dollar industry regulators say the regulators are the financial stability board and they say it's six trillion dollars more than they thought it was only a week or two ago wanted to have a parallel universe you have the global economy then you have it on the death star that circles the globe run by banks fraudsters kleptocrats who prey on the poor things with their shadow derivatives and shadow banking system and they commit all manner of fraud is totally unregulated and the shadow banking system as just being is the banking system and it's the primary source of the fraud

that's destroying the global economy and yet it's growing by leaps and bounds that's the very definition of financial cancer it is where all fraud goes to hide a lot of it is something like repurchased agreements the repo one hundred five that took down lehman brothers they had fifty billion for example hidden in these repo one hundred five repurchase agreements out there in the dark pools the dark matter which sucks in all of the real wealth the real activity of our economy is sucked into this thing so the fs to be a global financial policy group comprised of regulators and central bankers found that shadow banking grew by forty one trillion dollars between two thousand and two and two thousand and eleven the share of activity based in the u.s. has declined from forty four percent in two thousand and five to thirty five percent in two thousand and eleven moving to the u.k. and the rest of europe so as you see there is a. mammoth growth in it since two thousand and two right moving to the u.k.

when david cameron wants to defend the city of london he wants to defend the shadow banking system that has its headquarters here in london and you mention the lehman brothers repo want a five scam just briefly for people to understand what that means is that at the end of the quarter when they're supposed to report to regulators their their their their balance sheet the liabilities and assets that they have they well temporarily put all the liabilities they'll park them in the shadow banking system that we're they won't report the liabilities they therefore making their profits look greater than they are and then the regulators move on to the next company they download the liabilities once again and they do this on a quarter by quarter basis this is done by all the fortune one thousand companies engage in massive accounting fraud using they they shadow banking system to cook their books commit these foreign remaining big accounting firms are involved day in and day out with massive accounting fraud they're just as guilty as lehman brothers and financial terrorism that the lawyer and kate p.m.g. their job.
