surveilling the whole world. panic young children and women are among thirty five killed in israel's offensive against the palestinian territories. germany arrests the defense ministry worker accused of spying for the u.s. just days after another alleged double agent working for its ally was on earth. civilians seek safety in eastern ukraine as government forces lay siege to the region's biggest cities using the blockade and that the shelling.

live would be twenty four hours a day this is r t international. starts with israel so-called and simulate an operation in gaza that is causing panic among ordinary palestinians caught in the crossfire. the was it was was was. was was was. was was was was. really was was was was that what you are seeing is the consequence of the operation eight children age from six to sixteen are among those thirty five civilians killed and the i.d.f. is ramping up its offensive with the use of warplanes and rockets against

residential areas artie's policy or reports from the israeli palestinian border. i'm standing here in the southern israeli town of ashkelon a short time ago there were sirens sounding on the beach which is a short distance from where i'm standing and we can also constantly hear the now explosions of a strikes on gaza which is just a short distance behind me the israelis insist that they are targeting the military infrastructure ogham us but the problem is when you have innocent bystanders when you consider part of that infrastructure to be the homes of hamas leaders then it's inevitable that the number of people that are not involved in this conflict essentially civilians are going to be killed hospitals there are reporting that they have been pushed to emergency mode and that they struggling to cope with the number of people that are being brought in certainly the offensive at this stage seems to be heating up almost by the minute we're hearing from israel's defense minister that they plan to expand the operation and we're hearing from the amassed

leadership that if indeed israel does not cease with its airstrikes it too will expand the operation there is a particular concern amongst israelis were rockets now have reached as far as jerusalem and tel aviv these long range rockets bring a whole new dimension to the conflict meaning that it does not limit itself to only the south of the country now egypt is still playing a mediator ebola spokesperson for the cairo government says that they are intensifying their efforts but at the moment it seems as if the cease fire is far from anyone's mind if anything the mood on the ground is that we're heading closer to a full out war. and israeli defense forces spokesperson told r.t. hamas is to blame and israel is simply protecting its liar and then people. 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 our civilians are unable to move their

children today are not allowed could not be 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 charged to protect the state of israel hamas is responsible hamas is accountable we are responsible for safeguarding the state of israel that is our mission and that is what we will do. let's get analysis now from there or any senior columnist at israel's haaretz newspaper thank you for joining us mr horan now the i.d.f. says as far as actions are aimed at the front in itself and in the interest of security but that this action actually work and terms of keeping the situation on stable constantly. this may be one of those rare occasions when a government line could be partially or even wholly correct it is not often in

israel that one finds the government spokesperson to be close to the truth but this seems to be the case because while israel has chosen the term protective edge for each operation at least for outside consumption for itself it's rock solid nevertheless what it wants to do is get back to normal and normal in israeli terms means. last week in the middle of the week when rocket attacks and mortar shell attacks which are a frequent these are every day all karen says have been one tense the fight for reasons outside of israel's control so israel's aims in disapprobation of very modest means are modest too you do not see any ground maneuver at least yet you do not see any attack on the very heads of hamas the government of the movement it is only aimed at people in the field command.

like battalion commanders company commanders and perhaps a brigade commanders so dire is still enough leeway for negotiations for dialogue perhaps as you mentioned through egyptian mediation so clearly it seems that you believe that this is obviously not the right way to eliminate how mosques so what would you say is the way to go about it. well israel is far too wise having learned its lessons to try and eliminate and perhaps get some world jihad organization or some iranian controlled palestinian islamic jihad organization instead all the wants to do is have some modus vivendi with hamas some routine operating procedure whereby even though neither side recognizes the adult officially it can co-exist with the

other and it seems to see if the times are opportune for that because up to now even though it's very nervy think it's a war of nerves up to now there is been no israeli casualties yes there were police t.v. and casualties including civilians but then numbers are limited. if you compare them to previous rounds of violence so dear is the making of a renewed ceasefire. myself or there are also claims that palestinians use children as human shields around key targets even though they're as force says there is video clearly shown residential houses are being hets what do you make of that. it's a very tricky situation because israel for various reasons. tries to to comply with international law and practice and rather than conduct surprise

attacks even on the residences of hamas leaders also head it actually calls up the house on the phone and wants people inside that an attack is imminent after that there is another warning attack we've got. a munition simply making a very noisy pass in order to make the claim here and in only then does an aircraft appear was a bomb what happened yesterday was that between the second stage and the third one family which aired earlier vacated the house returned so when the bomb was india or the family was already back home and there was no time to stop the attack and it was regrettably hit israel tries to avoid such incidents and actually apologize or

so when they take place somewhere or in senior columnist at haaretz newspaper thank you very much. that's the other news german police are reportedly investigating a new case of espionage and of men at the french ministry employee suspected of spying for washington last week another german intelligence officer worker was arrested in berlin he turned out to be a double agents working for the u.s. r.t.c. peter all of our joins me now with all the details we actually saw him a little bit earlier but now we're ready for peter we're seeing a little bit of a trend here our way. well it every time i speak to you it sounds more and more like the script of a. spy movie what we've seen on wednesday is the federal prosecutors here in germany raiding the off this home of an employee of the defense ministry. now it's understood that that employee is still facing questioning by the attorney

general. and the u.s. ambassador john b. anderson was summoned to the foreign ministry here in berlin to discuss this issue further there's no no more information about that particular arrest right now but what we are seeing is another week another potential spy being uncovered here in germany last week a employee of the security services the b. and d. was arrested and charged with having passed documents on to washington for cash now he's currently in jail here in germany a waiting waiting trial and further investigation into. to find out exactly what he passed what information he passed over from the side of the americans they haven't denied this security service employee did give them money did give them documents for cash days expected to go to trial in the future. that are

you know oliver thank you very much for bringing us all the latest all revelations of the u.s. spying on one of its closest ally is are now a regular fixture and the german media washington consistently says sorry but its cards are in exactly the same thing again and it's starting to have an effect on public opinion now a survey published by german magazine der spiegel should pass that more than half of the public has had enough of washington and if we take a look here according to that report fifty seven percent of want to their country to be less dependent on the u.s. . now germans are not the only ones being mourned it's or the recent report based on the leaks of edward snowden claims the n.s.a. has been keeping an eye on five politically active muslim americans they include a prominent human rights activist lawyer and scholar and so far there is zero evidence any of them are connected to terrorism

ok so the n.s.a. has been spying on its own people on its friends and even on entire nations according. to cordon and find a phone call made in the bahamas and a little later in the program we'll take you to the saudi islands to find out what people and the governments think about being watched by washington and what they plan to do about it. also on the way for you valsin some leaves in moscow and information blackout over the arrest of a russian citizen abroad which has already been dubbed a kidnapping that and more after a short break. revealing the whole world. i'm happy martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear any right other

big story extra headlines and talk there's a reason they don't want to do not want to tell you don't reset. now let's break the set. dramas that can't be ignored to a. story others you know. since it's changed the world right. to pictures. from around the globe.

it. was welcome back to r t international will continue now with ukraine where the prize that has visited slovyansk the scene of the fiercest fighting there in kiev crackdown on anti-government protesters in the east petro poroshenko praised the efforts to liberate the city of all this is the result of one of those efforts and international monitoring bodies says the military fires indiscriminately and locals believe only hiding in basements save their lives. but boy look at the crunch numbers must put us from the most vocal of the photo shoot on where your thumb office before threw it over you know. the mission i did to buy you from somebody out there but of course. florrie my union has no shame of three people.

the next stops for the ukrainian army are two of the largest cities in the east about starting at scuttle gonski both have suffered artillery attacks now the president has personally ordered a blockade and the latest raid on will gonski at least two people were killed that apartment buildings were waiting period for nationalized there for us if. we don't leave hotel without bulletproof jackets both sides made the they will not talk presidential areas but he says something different. shells land in the city center the gun. is the interest for life for now already but citizens here have little protection against mortar rounds and those who didn't leak face constant danger. over the last three days the city's residential areas have been hate each time we civilian casualties.

this is the scene of the most recent attack we saw at least two craters on the road there and there and as you can see this building was damaged well it used to be one of the city's banks and it could barely be a target of whoever is behind this attack. as we're filming we hear about another shelling locals say it was near a call that no one got hurt. so. i had just gone out to the balcony and then i heard glass breaking and i realized we are being attacked. and i don't want to do i want to hide it where they're going to fire from the next time they go to invite us to go to east. b. his home broken glass litter was the floor. or the windows in the goalie's two room apartment have been shattered. i just got out and opened up the window then it came on both sides blame the other for the violence but whoever is responsible the

violence is real and fear is spreading lugansk the second largest city in is to ukraine it used to be home to more than four hundred thousand people these days you can see it looks like a ghost town it's not just shops bangs and restaurants that have closed their doors post offices to have shot so has the local police office a group of men gathers next to a bank in the center they're all workers lining to take out cash on payday they don't trust the banks not keen to speak to journalists are there. basically the people do not want to talk they're angry nervous it's understandable rich national party is to ukraine. or is constantly posting updates on what's happening and look on her twitter feed as well so do feel free to follow her as she documents live under siege you can see how much she's been posting it's very interesting to read

to see what is actually happening there. moscow says it's being kept in the dark over the arrest of a russian citizen and the maulvi was then it's accused in the american agents who took him off kidnap for months and is not a russian employee sana was snatched by the u.s. on suspicion of stealing credit card information art is going to scan has more. monsoon is no ifs family vacation in the came to an abrupt end when the u.s. secret service captured him before whisking him off to a u.s. base in guam the u.s. government charged the russian citizen with installing malicious software to steal credit card numbers the u.s. however had little to say about the circumstances of his arrest there were accusations made at the department of justice case certainly there was no kidnapping involved i'm not sure maybe kidnapping is a bit too strong but if someone is in the capital trying to get on a flight to russia and somehow they're spirited away and they end up in.

charge of the. you know. abduction. i'm just not going to have more in this case the aftermath moscow says city's newest attention is a kidnapping so there's no father who is a russian state duma deputy believes it could be a scheme to trade his son for it would snow that but lawyers are doubtful mr snowden has been granted asylum status in russia i don't know. that the u.s. would engage nor do i not believe really that russia would engage in any sort of an exchange with those two particular individuals there's no extradition treaty between russia and the u.s. i would say that also is client. a russian pilot was captured in liberia and sent to the u.s. where he was convicted of drug trafficking thailand allowed the u.s. to take hold of victor boot the russian arms dealer proxy of seizing russian

citizens abroad in third countries and then bringing them into the jurisdiction of the united states has become quite common the u.s. has captured citizens of many countries with this kind of snap extradition extraordinary renditions have been common practice since nine eleven and detainees rights appropriately being. violated. shipped to guam and the island possession of the united states the us constitution does not fully apply there which raises more questions as to what rights among students will have while he's there in washington i'm going to. look at some more international news in brief for you now and we'll start with afghanistan where eleven insurgents stage the british in the time on the government's compound in the sound and city of kandahar or civilian bystanders were killed after one militant blew up his car in front of the gates two police officers

were then. tried to get into the compound security forces repelled be a soldier killing all of the insurgents. severe thunderstorms have rolled through new york state officials have confirmed the deaths of four people in the community of smithfield which has been the worst affected the storm destroyed several homes ripped from its foundations and tossing it onto another house. it was a result that will go down in world cup history competition host brazil were on the receiving end over seven one thrashing by germany leaving the watching fans. and on board even invented their frustration in the streets with scattered incidents of brawling damage to property and clashes with police fans threw stones of debris and police responded with baton charges and arrests however on the lighter side the result gave a whole host of comedians the chance to demonstrate their wits. oh yeah let's take a look here wolf bag germany to stop kicking the ball and the poor team of course

brazil's most iconic statue was shown a head and hands and well known drink seemed like the only beverage for the occasion after germany's own facts of when and finally the true meaning of the world has been the site for it but perhaps better than anything in this short video the scribe's what happened. that's it for me for this hour coming up in the pay more at his documentary about and that's a spy in the bahamas. like i always wonder if the n.s.a. listening to my conversations. he's a place will i know for sure that they do that place is called the bahamas i went to not so pick up the same thing to be mistaken. i mean the

sixty minute is just going to be like i'm pretty. sure. she's. not on here for years and there's no one in there. to miss the full financial services seem comfortable about the whole idea of well mr finance i mean nothing to do with you so we say it's economic surveillance as well like the stepping into phones. you are building the whole world. and you just told me to see the phone company to stop it would be easy but yeah i meant to send a letter signed to rise up. but you. know i'm not i'm not you know billionaire is i phone and i'm going to say yes i do. basically so you're going to give a speech about the whole government surveillance thing. would you say like the us

told you it's all good and there's nothing cool about or i would say that this go over. the n.s.a. so many focus about it like that the foreign minister is about to give a speech in parliament saying that he got some reassurances from the u.s. or something like that there are certain issues because of national security that we may not know. there may be certain instances. that that may be warrant some type of ever made. gathering but when it comes down to the. breaking of the privacy rules not individual individuals so innocent individuals that's a whole different story so we need to look at that we need to consider that we need more information from our government that much should know what's going on and they ought to tell the gaming people from a time then we are in a position to make

a determination as to babyhood. giving people n.s.a. stickers all right give you some just to put on your phone so you know we'll get. the people of the bahamas okupe like parliament square protests will still see from a. deputy prime minister davis he said we didn't give our consent you know but that is not the same thing as not knowing yeah so the question we have is full brightness exactly there's a possibility of a reason which is one of the many reasons why we're demonstrating today even the u.s. put them in a godor one of them and perhaps it could be anything it could be that they just turned a blind eye without being without being so often in small countries like this you think well you know if united states wants to do it and we're not going to get in trouble you are going to have an effect as clearly. dismiss is suing the u.s. government my right to privacy have been violated i don't know the nostromo me i

knew you i did know you know they work and there are members there are certain responsibility had to do or you know follow the contrary i know this and but i have not. dropped. one here in the senate since i did ok but if you just listen to people's phone calls as a whole in the bahamas or becomes about it ok to listen to people i was like. ok this is this demonstration we really want more information that you know the cabin of the bahamas can contain important information that should be shared with the service and very long back. make sure. people. see the tree. see it every day see the problem it's products out there should.

choose your language call it we could without any financial planner say still some . choose to use the consensus to. choose

the opinions that invigorating to. choose the stories good in life choose be access to your office. many people in russia to believe that their research was essentially never even improving their relations it was rather that i may blame be aggressive villager and foreign policy of the united states one year a poll in free the phrase of george h.w. bush in one thousand nine hundred two migrated during the course of the clinton administration the george w. bush administration and finally through the obama administration into a mishmash of ideas about expanding american idealistic intentions of expanding nato right up to russia's borders.

what's happening guys i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so it's pretty clear at this point the age of privacy has gone the way of the dodo bird but at least there's one area where people still feel secure with their doctors when i can kiss that notion goodbye as well so a new report from bloomberg business week outlines a questionable new practice being employed by carolina's health care system a health care provider that operates over nine hundred medical centers across north and south carolina turns out the hospital chain is actually.
