1:02 pm
as well as being shelled two major cities in the east are facing a blockade ordered by president port of shank in order to stop the movement of government forces now you can see what altered recently here self defense fighters pulled back from this area to the city of donetsk dawn here which is a population of around one million people over here is up to five hundred thousand people live here both cities have rebelled against key have a memory if an option that brings us more now from lugansk. the operational leadership in kiev announced that the cities of the nets and lugansk will be besieged so that the anti-government forces will be sealed inside without any chance to get any support from anywhere outside and all that with continuing attacks and of course fears a rise in right now that the consequences of this besieged could be more dramatic we hear to read here every day and many times a day we also know that multiple rocket launcher known as get out or pay was also used here both sides claim that they are not targeting and they will not target the
1:03 pm
residential areas but we have to tell that it happens and this is why me and my cameraman although we are now in the city center we have to work in flak jackets on monday and shell landed just a few blocks away from where we are now getting a car and reportedly the driver died at the scene and today as a minibus also was hit in the city center and reportedly two people were killed as well while the army strategy is obviously to target those who they claim are terrorists and separatists it is clear that ordinary civilians become victims very often. sure. as we move. with those of what is our school troyer would you and. you. should be well you can say that the anti-government forces are now in high alert preparing for this besieged but local residents are also getting closer
1:04 pm
to something that could be described already as panic this is the situation. that it could even deteriorate reef notion or from lugansk where we asked marcus papadopoulos editor of the politics first web magazine whether kiev has the capabilities to take such a major city like the net. that all depends on where k.f. has the resources to take on a city as a large as donetsk is and what we know is that they certainly have no moral compunction in killing hundreds of ukrainian civilians for mortars from tank shells frew as strikes we're talking about civilians including women and children dying on a daily basis being maimed on a daily basis but the ukrainians will keep on doing that because they are backed by the americans principally also the europeans but america is a superpower and they have backed by them and now they can claim they have
1:05 pm
a legitimate president they can go for an all out victory in the east starting with donetsk but they've got to now face another bout so and that will be quite a battle to win the hearts and minds of the people they've been killing and injuring on a daily basis over the past three months some of the fiercest battles have been for control of various strategic points the following video was reportedly filmed a contested border checkpoint. shall i but i see because i'm on she.
1:06 pm
says about the two sides have fought over this checkpoint for more than a month this was what it looked like after the battle you can clearly see the area is the circuit and according to a conversation heard on the video lying area is heavy with snipers. israel is reportedly readying for a ground invasion of gaza and with the launch of a large scale offensive against the region at least thirteen palestinians have been killed and more including children have been wounded in the attacks paula slee are reports from the israeli palestinian porter. well forty thousand israeli reserve soldiers have been called out but this comes as the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu instructs the i.d.f. to prepare for a possible ground offensive into gaza now no confirmation as to if or when this will happen but certainly the need on the ground is that it could possibly happen in the coming few hours the only thing we've heard from netanyahu is a warning to his soldiers to prepare for eight long operation eighty palestinians
1:07 pm
have been injured a number of them have been killed in what israel says are targeted assassinations but as is always the case there are women and children and innocent people who get killed in these strikes i'm standing on the israel gaza border which as you can imagine is very tense behind me is gaza and almost every fifteen twenty minutes there is a group plane dropping its deadly cargo there have also been israeli helicopters dropping leaflets urging residents of gaza to come forward and reveal the hiding places of militants firing these rockets not cairo is acting as a mediator but so far with very little success hamas is saying that it will not stop with its rocket barrages until israel stops with its is strikes and at this stage it seems highly unlikely that either is going to do that. israel's operations in gaza have become regular since the idea of pulled out of the territory in two
1:08 pm
thousand and five only a year after the troop withdrawal operation summer rains was launched after this release soldier was kidnapped by hamas the so-called anti militant action claimed the lives of more than one hundred civilians two thousand and eight saw the deadliest offensive in gaza yet it was described as a must occur in the arab world killing almost a thousand resulting in a humanitarian crisis and pillar of defense is one of the most recent operations which began with the killing of the amassed leader and led to numerous civilian deaths we've yet to see the death figures for this latest action but the number of those killed and wounded is already climbing. ministry of information in gaza has dubbed israel's actions irresponsible saying the resulted in innocent deaths right now is move to the children people in a sense of places we had a medical. supplies city or whole family only of them were
1:09 pm
killed if three of them children this is a real. disgusting operation against a in gaza with no any sense of responsibility to words even a humanitarian crisis and disasters in gaza strip and rowing this and just right now we have a big strike and until this moment second by second there is aggressions wolk strikes airstrikes sorry and talking to the people i knew where and in places without even a very good noise saying the places of the people living. with us really military refuses to accept their strikes are to blame for civilian casualties spoke to their spokesperson. this is an unfortunate situation israel had no intention no wish to go and attack gaza but hamas put us in this corner where you know all civilians are unable to move their children today. could not be
1:10 pm
allowed to go to kindergarten children could not go to summer camp they had to stay in the safe room that's unacceptable we're not willing to let this go and that's why the military has been challenged to protect the state of israel isn't there a better perhaps more peaceful way because obviously what events and so far is not working all it does is resulting in more casualties for palestine hamas is responsible hamas is accountable we are responsible for safeguarding the state of israel that is the mission and that is what we will do. the conflict has provoked international reaction both germany and france call for violence and confrontation to be a boy that you can get the latest updates from our correspondent paula slayer she tweets from the israeli palestinian point. france's finance minister has called for a repub and sing of world currencies he wants a new way from the dominance of the u.s. dollar after america forced the b.n.p.

oil in dollars the community relations of the common say is of course one concern that they have but the united states does defend the dollar with of course its full military force now it's been seen on a number of occasions with countries that have been arguing that they should move away from using the thing to found themselves subject to the united states sanctions and of course even in some cases military force in recent history america has a massive trade deficit and if it wasn't for the demand that gold is created for its position as being the global reserve currency america would sink economically. coming up by markets not just the russian citizen in the multi-verse on suspicion of hacking also condemned as a day to kidnapping we look at the latest sore point in relations between russia and america plus. pretty struggles to stem the flow of extremists returning from syria as two men arrested at a london airport admit to planning terrorist attacks and more coming up in just

radicalized online and ended up contacting islamic extremists in order to join a terrorist group that was fighting to talk pull the government of bashar al assad in syria live now admitted to preparing to carry out acts of terrorism but this isn't the only case of the brits flying out to syria just two days ago a british muslim who says that he's fighting for isis in syria and vowed to wage war in the u.k. abu right he as these tweeted that downing street would be a base for muslims and that trafalgar square is where public executions would take place already something like five hundred people have travelled out to syria and iraq from the u.k. and the overriding concern for anti terror police here is that they could return to britain and commit acts of violence here. for more news
1:17 pm
story i'm joined live by the show jarred chairman of the london based islamic human rights commission thank you for joining us today hope bigger problem is young men leaving britain to fight alongside extremists in syria. well i really don't think i think there's been a lot of hard really don't believe that the problem is as big as being presented by the media the government and. also there is a lot of confusion he will say why is it that these people are going to syria why is it that they don't go to places like palestine or kashmir or. or anywhere else. i think there is a lot to do with the sort of the way that the media in britain is dealing with this i mean the british policy but indeed it is actually happening and why so for those people who are going. you know it's very troubling
1:18 pm
anyone to go and join groups a lot of isis you know it really is. i think they should be a little concerned but i think the concern is in some way misplaced we're all worried about we have been told that these people are going to come back and create problems here but the reality is that these people are creating problems in syria which british government is supporting the opposition and you know where it is these people getting their arms while again why these people are going over that the only groups within the muslim community promoting syria above anywhere else is sort of saudi backed. institutions the rest of the muslim organization and the most are not really involved in promoting this particular jihad among you know of anywhere else in palestine or anywhere else
1:19 pm
i'm really puzzled at the fact that they're going there i think is a lot to do with the way that the british government has been sort of delivering in one minute supporting the opposition next minute calling them terrorists and it was only two weeks ago that isis was identified as if it is a terrorist organization by the british government while this. may have been killing opening people's hearts and eating it it's been going on for very long time i think there is a lot of answering by the british government all of this and the people who are leaving the jihadists who are going are they coming back to britain are the pressure thora he's having any luck stopping them are some actually slipping through. well i think i think. the might be some of slipping through but i think also the way that the british government and british intelligence is so well placed within the opposition of the
1:20 pm
syrian regime and the sitting government i would say that you know it will be almost sort of impossible for these people to get through and not be identified. you know their intelligence services up to where it's very much involved in the opposition organisations fighting the syrian government. massoud shai jar chairman of the london based islamic human rights commission thank you for your time today here's a look at what we have on line few now as well right now if fracking send shock waves across parts of the us literally scientists find proof that shield drilling is responsible for hundreds of earthquakes in the state of oklahoma and it's getting worse as you can find out on our t. dot com also there for you. drawing control to wrobel not google smartphones with three d.

1:27 pm
near huge bodies of fresh water that other cities can only dream of but on the other hand if the poor don't pay for water then us taxpayers will be paying for it for them and that's not fair i think this is not so much a case of a right to water but a right to decent employment and a corruption free city government back when people in detroit had good salaries and a government that wasn't flagrantly corrupt they would have any problems paying for their water bills but that's just my opinion. live. live little. legalese
