that could be to go visit their grandmother and come back. he influx of refugees is led russian regions bordering ukraine to declare states of emergency officials say they're having to accommodate thousands daily rushes migration services putting the total number of people who fled the violence in ukraine to four hundred thousand. kunal of a camera man from russia china one who was killed by gunfire in your military base in eastern ukraine has been held in moscow family friends and colleagues gathered to pay their last respects to totally who dedicated forty years of his life to filming in a war zone such as the former yugoslavia iraq and syria he survived by a wife two children and several grandchildren. this is a law sportage clear on shot during the attack during which he was fatally wounded in the stomach he and other journalists were traveling in

their murders their deaths made headlines around the world. of anger and that sense that there will be some retaliation for these deaths is becoming increasingly apparent that his promise to make our must pay for the three teenagers found dead on monday so there is a huge amount of grief at the discovery of the grim discovery of the three bodies of those israeli teenagers late yesterday israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the three teenagers were murdered in cold blood by what he described as animals. a letter of condolence president obama said the killing of the jewish boys had left him feeling an indescribable pain he also urged all parties to refrain from steps that could destabilize the situation in the region despite president obama's calls for peace israeli prime minister netanyahu saying he's ready to step up measures against hamas and punish the group further in the last two days idea forces launched a dozen or dozens of rocket strikes on targets inside gaza meanwhile the i.d.f.

is listing on their facebook page their achievement so far according to israeli army more than two thousand houses have been raided since the start of the operation hundreds of palestinians are arrested and dozens of hamas offices close together with media outposts at the bottom of the page they vow to bring justice to all those involved in the deaths of the teenagers for more on this i'm joined by israeli activist and journalist. joining us live from tel aviv thank you for joining us here so israel hasn't provided any proof that hamas was involved in this why at this point are we getting it. well while there is to prove it is quite apparent that several hamas activists were probably involved and was responsible for killing and murdering some os the leadership of hamas did not take responsibility for this but did say that it was a blistered measure so it is not without reason for israel to to be putting the blame for most in this instance now with these teenagers having been found dead

prime minister netanyahu is vowing to continue targeting hamas what are the implications of that. well i think that we have to differentiate between the attempts to find the killers the actual people who the perpetrators. and the attack on some of us which need to know is planned for a long time before the kidnapping in the murder it is very convenient for the grieving students and you know right now to focus on some other. gather world support against hamas shortly after the palestinian unity government was formed with between the fatah and hamas. has been saying that this government is illegitimate and by focusing on this act this terrible act of the murder of three boys he is getting international support for that campaign against the unity

government saying that it has to be split into hamas the terrorist organization and fatah who is more legitimate in the eyes of mr. now there are in the palestinian community and other critics who say that this was a convenient vehicle for administration to continue cracking down on palestinians do agree with that. yes and of course the national unity government was could have been a chance for actual peace negotiations had really wanted to end the occupation a government that is supported by the vast majority of steam and unity government such as this. had more credit more of an ability to reach a stable peace agreement then. the trip presents only half of the palestinian people so by choosing to attack this government instead of cooperating with it israel is allowing itself

a space to prolong the occupation either even further alright journalist knockabout guy matar. global internet firms from countries including the us and bob waking up on u.k. spy agency g c h q one a minute report on the unprecedented joint action over the agency's use of spying or with the web as a tool for spy. plans to create new high security prisons that are already being compared by human rights activists to guantanamo stay with us for that. interview.

speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks of the interview intriguing story for you. to. visit our big. seventeen minutes past the hour plan to create

a new high security prison in greece has activists compare the project to the notorious guantanamo bay facility thousands of inmates across the country went on hunger strike against the bill which goes to parliament on thursday in their statement the prisoners say they are fighting to remain human instead of becoming what they call forgotten shadows and you farmer discussed the protests with marina kosar a of a recently back from assignment in athens. it all started on the eighteenth of june and then every day after that more and more prisoners across the country joined in the hunger strike in total there were around four and a half thousand prisoners across the country who were starving themselves and they couldn't take it any longer which is why they stopped and i said that i will continue fighting for what they believe in other ways what are they fighting for they are against this bill which is an inversion a tightening in restructure of the country and also the creation of type c. crystal it seems across the country and they claim that this will be like guantanamo bay so in general they're saying that the condition in prison is already

wrong plus they don't want to see the creation of a new one which potentially could be worse so what's been the government's response to those arguments presumably believes that these things should go ahead yes and also we know that the country's main opposition party cities that tried to reason with and please consider in this bill and they asked them to hold off on it until they can get a chance to visit some of these prison facilities but that request was denied we actually managed to speak to one of the prisoners his face is covered in the voice was altered because we need to he asked us to protect his identity so let's listen to what he had to say about what life was like in these persons who say no to the green tunnel maybe to a prison inside a prison without any rights without any future prisoners who have completed one fifth of their sentences should be allowed to visit their family we live conditions lead my sitcom. there are no doctors here. they just give us ask their prisoners here who have no money so nobody gives them anything to find cockroaches

in the prison food is disgusting it's better to eat nothing than. five prisoners live in a cell designed for now the main problem is the fact that prisons don't have money and i was there and then even the government is saying the situation is improving in the country when you talk to people they believe that nothing has changed and i don't see their lives improving at all there are marches and protests in athens every single day on various. fury over government online eavesdropping has been brewing for some time it seems a tipping point has been reached a group of firms from six countries now teaming up to sue britain's spy agency the first collective case of action against juicy h.q. details from our london correspondent polly bordeaux the u.k. government is effectively being sued by a group of internet service providers they come from a number of different countries including the u.k. the us and germany now it is reportedly the first time that an internet host has

gone to court over alleged government spying now they say that g.c. h.q. is using malware or malicious software as it's turned in order to break into their networks and spy on their customers communications online now legal action is going through a very special london court it's called the investigatory powers tribe you know and it's their job to look into claims or complaints over the misuse of government surveillance now you can imagine that this court's caseload has got somewhat larger in the wake of the edward snowden revelations and of course later this month they're going to be looking into complaints from human rights organizations the way that social media sites like facebook and twitter have been targeted by g c h q now two m.p.'s have also sued the u.k. government through this court over claims that their communications were monitored

as well so as i've just said in the wake of the edward snowden affair with the public debate still very much taking place over mass government surveillance these fresh and unprecedented legal moves from the internet service providers are unlikely to be the last. to talk now with cedric tonight from one of the firms behind from behind the legal action green net which style themselves as an ethically guided internet service provider thank you for joining us here on r.t. international so do you think the web firm's legal complaint will yield actual results in this case. we're hoping for some progress we'd hope for the case to be opened normally the investigatory powers tribunal doesn't give much details of its investigations if any at all. we would think that they would look at in some detail about the

specific claims which haven't been made before so that in our case that the q. have deliberately interfered in space hardware they might they seem to view it as a legitimate reason to interfere which is normal operations a. perfectly ordinary service provider. and that. effectively spying on the staff so i hope for some information to come out of it and some. progress to be made is this about protecting the web users or protecting the internet companies that. it's about protecting internet users and ensuring they're not spied on unnecessarily it is also about. for example the privity of our own staff. seems that. has being deliberately targeting the ordinary technical staff

who try to protect network security to try to try to find to find personal weaknesses and. weaknesses in the security systems they put in place so you know if we feel that. our own stuff a perfectly ordinary system administrator like myself is targeted under the name of national security that that's clearly not right as far as i can see so it's partly it's partly the stuff what kind of exposure response are you expecting from the government. it's hard to know exactly we would hope that this is a proper legal test of what do you see h.q. is doing what they are. although those activities are mentioned in a number of undirected facts should be examined properly in the right in the lights of the european convention of human rights. is the job that needs to be been has

made that possible and we we we hope that the good job will be done of looking into this. and that the complaint will be taken seriously. do you think those will resonate with some other major internet companies do you think they'll get on board with this. it's possible that they could join to file their own actions yes. we're a group of international of quite small internet internet service providers to take the concerns with human rights so that they can visit with freedom of expression and. write about this and so on. and it is very possible that the. large royalties could indeed. stand up for that the purpose of the stuff and that should be standing up for the rights of the uses yes all right cedric knight from

green net thank you very much for your time thank you. geodes militants from isis have overrun a key syrian border town after pouring in reinforcements from neighboring iraq takeover coming two days after isis declared an islamic state on the syrian and iraqi territory it currently controls this unverified video here apparently showing the militants parading tanks and other combat vehicles around in eastern syria iraq washington releasing half a billion dollars in military support to syria's opposition a move that stoked fresh fears that the u.s. could be inadvertently aiding jihad its investigative journalist matt carr thinking the u.s. helped bring about isis militants in the first place. isis is not just creation of the syria or isis has its origins in iraq itself in the jihad its resistance to the u.s. occupation when they withdrew their troops in iraq after the so-called surge there was a view about what of those groups have been defeated or at least neutralized that

probably never really happened and isis has been out in iraq not just because of what out in syria but also by the incompetence of terrorism and corruption at least i'm a leaky government in iraq so all these different forces are close to two asian which is very probable that i'm iraq could fragment into three state because i can't see the moment of the time being any kind of and sectarian movement that could overcome the divisions that are ripping iraq to shreds. crosstalk coming your way next on r.t. international or if you're watching us in the u.k. we'll take you behind the scenes with our latest edition of the news team stay with us after this short break. the gym is about seven years old it's one of the largest ten cities on the east
