a blockade and deadly shelling. you're tuned in to r.t. international with you around the clock across the globe i'm going to nail welcome we start with israel's so named militant operation in gaza which is causing panic among ordinary palestinians caught in the crossfire just to warn you there are some images coming up you may find distressing. thing. that maybe are.

oh our the. are. oh oh darling move to what you're seeing now in the background is the consequences of an operation that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has called genocide at least eight children are among the fifty one civilians killed in the i.d.f. is ramping up its offensive with the use of warplanes and rockets against residential areas 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 the explosions of air strikes on gaza which is just a short distance behind me the israelis insist that they are targeting the military infrastructure of him 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 his rabies where 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 people list spokesperson for the cairo government says that they are intensifying their efforts but at the moment it seems as if a cease. why is far from anyone's mind if anything it made on the ground example

hitting close to a full out war. israel has repeatedly showing a willingness to respond quickly to any aggression but what does it achieve well back in two thousand and six israel waged war and hezbollah in lebanon but far from being destroyed the group actually rose to power its regular operations against hamas of actually led to the militants forging a union with palestinian political party fatah on the country's reputation has been hit as well and you will pull suggest israel is now one of the most unpopular countries in the world and even in israel there are many who do not support a military response we do believe that the only solution for the conflict in the middle east is a peace and everybody has to understand you know mahatma gandhi once said that if human race continues to the police you afraid it will fail and i for when i everybody in the end we become blind to it and civilians out of the conflict this

is something that we in israel jews and arabs like to get that are going to demonstrate full bring the conflict to an end and only by a just peace settlement. on the mirror or in a senior columnist israel's haaretz newspaper told r.t. there's still a chance the conflict could be resolved soon yes there were police including soup but then numbers are limited. if you compare them to previous rounds of violence so during the making of a renewed cease fire israel's aims to induce operation are very modest demeans 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 or demote meant so dear is still enough leeway for negotiations for dialogue perhaps as you mentioned through

egyptian mediation. you can find all the latest developments figures on video was released to israel's military operation in gaza on our website r.t. dot com. german police are reportedly investigating a new case of espionage involving a defense ministry employee suspected of spying for washington last week another german intelligence worker was arrested in berlin he turned out to be a double agent working for the u.s. peter oliver has been following this story on wednesday morning the federal prosecutors raided the office and home of a defense ministry employee lynn they were looking for any evidence that this employee had passed information on to the united states he's currently facing questioning from the this employees currently facing questioning from the attorney general will be waiting to find out if any more information comes out about this but what we do know is that the u.s.

passage on this it was summoned to the foreign ministry here in berlin in relation to this ongoing investigation well it's just the the latest in a litany of spying scandals here in germany. just last week we saw that the security services implore you to be and being arrested and charged with having passed on documents to the n.s.a. for cash now he's currently in prison awaiting trial for that it's understood reports in the media here that the two on linked the arrest last week isn't directly linked to what we've seen on wednesday but it's just another example of u.s. spying taking place here in germany. and indeed revelations of the u.s. spying on one of its closest allies are regular fixture in the german media washington consistently says sorry but it soon caught doing exactly the same thing again earlier i spoke to an emotion former m i five agent turned whistleblower she

says the u.s. wants to bring back its spying dominance seen during the cold war era teams that are not on the one hand the usa wants all the allies to work with them on this global war on terror but on the other hand they still want the old days where they can spy on other countries and their national sovereignty with impunity they can have it both ways we're going to take a look at some figures you'll see that a recent poll actually showed that around half of the germans want to see their country become less dependent on the u.s. do you think that this is all new linked to the spying claims i think this has been a huge spur to this impetus these exposures are going to show that the germans need to push back as indeed has been reported today that they are going to start spying in a retaliatory fashion in order to at least ensure their own national sovereignty but it would be nice as well to see them really put in place laws and influence the european environment as well to protect all european citizens prissie over the

internet over communications and i would hope that germany will see this continuing greece infringement of its national sovereignty as the spur to encourage their country and the rest of europe to move away and start using open source to protect our rights as citizens of the e.u. . a recent report based on the leaks a better word snowden claims the n.s.a. has been keeping an eye on five politically active muslim americans the surveillance took place even though there is zero evidence any of them are connected to terrorism or correspond. as more a recent report based on the leaks of edward snowden claims the national security agency has been keeping an eye on five politically active muslim americans according to the intercept and investigative news outlet the government surveillance took place even though there was zero evidence that any of the prominent men were connected to terrorism now the five men targeted include an attorney who represents clients in terrorism related cases

a professor at rutgers university a former professor at california state university the executive director of care which is the largest muslim civil rights organization in america and lastly a long time republican party operative who actually held a top secret security clearance and served in the department of homeland security during the bush administration now according to the intercept the n.s.a. and f.b.i. covertly monitor the e-mails of all the men under a secret under secretive procedures used to target terrorists and foreign spies journalist glenn greenwald who broke this story says this is one of the most important revelations to come from snowden's leaks because it actually puts a face on the n.s.a. surveillance overreach and illustrates that domestic spying abuses usually target minorities marginalizes groups and dissidents now the n.s.a. told the intercept that their surveillance was not based solely on speech however

additional explanation or justification for targeting american citizens based on their job or political activity well that was not provided by the u.s. government. coming up a little later in the program we'll take you on a trip to the bahamas to find out just cause people are about the n.s.a. has recorded every single phone call made on the islands and much more coming up after a short break here in our international. sales were failing the whole world.

back ukraine's president has visited sloviansk the scene of the fiercest fighting during kiev's crackdown on anti-government protesters in the east of the country petro push and get praised efforts to liberate the city well this is the result of those efforts locals believe only hiding in basements save their lives. will. look at the carnage number lost for us from the most vocal of the photo shoot only get them off this bus full of stories over to. the michelin did you buy you some and buy you out the best of course but are sort of what she looked when she left my community and there's no shame up to you to see a team of international monitors recently visited slovyansk they say the city lies in ruins. there was quite a bit of devastation there obviously we were the first international body to get into the city there is very no electricity no water. lack of food supplies

a.t.m. machines are working and it's basically a ghost town right now more than half the population has a lot of people according to our monitors the people there felt very kind of alone and almost abandoned. the next stops for the ukrainian army are two of the largest cities in the east the net and lugansk both have suffered artillery attacks now the president has personally ordered a blockade in the latest raid on lugansk at least two people were killed and apartment buildings ruined ria phenomenon is there for us we don't leave the hotel without bullet proof jackets both sides may be they will not tell you the presidential areas but he says something different. shells land in the city center the gun. is dangerous for life. so now ready but citizens here have

little to action against mortar rounds and those who didn't flee face constant danger. over the last three days the city's residential areas have been hate each time we civilian casualties. and 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 a miracle that no one got hurt. i had just gone out to the balcony and then i heard glass breaking and i realized we are being attacked i don't know what to do where to hide where they are going to fire from next time they go to invite us to used to be his home broken glass litters the floor.

the windows and we go to these two room apartment have been shattered. i just got up and opened up the window and then it came both sides blame the other for the violence but whoever is responsible the violence is real and fear is spreading the guns the second largest city in esteemed ukraine eighty 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 banks and restaurants that have closed their doors . post offices to have shot so hostile local police officers a group of men gathers next to bank in the center they all workers lining to take out cash on payday they don't trust banks not talking to speak to journalists either. they see the people you know going to take their angry nervous it's

understandable notion. it's in ukraine. reus constantly posting updates on what's happening in lugansk on her twitter feed follow her no i she documents life under siege. that's returned to one of our top stories now we're going to talk to one of the five people who find i thought they were being spied on thanks to a leak and i joined live by faisal gill a long time republican party member and a former employee of the department for homeland security mr goh first of all tell us how it makes you feel to know you're being spied on by your own country. it certainly doesn't make me feel good my biggest reaction right now though is just out of surprise i'm just so. i was being surveilled. why then do you think you are being targeted by the n.s.a. that is the biggest question that i have and since i found out about this i have no idea what's in my background or what i could have done that would lead the n.s.a.

or the f.b.i. think that i was somebody that they should surveil or target practice a lawyer served in the united states maybe i worked in the bush administration of homeland security security clearances so i i think that's the biggest reaction that i have is i have no idea what i have done what in my background would lead them to surveil me or i mean i have a muslim and i did work in you know decent levels in the government that's about the only thing i can think of i just can't think of anything else there had been allegations in the past all these allegations have been proved false that you had connections with extremist organizations is anything to do with thought the reason you're being monitored. i'd probably yes i mean when they sixty resort because asians absolutely i mean i had connections with muslim organizations in the united states and i never hid from them and i never apologize from them and i you know

what i always did it was they were not extremist groups they were here they're working in the united states for civil rights and i'm pretty sure that's what was the cause of it but i did have those and i never said that they're wrong there's anything wrong with being associated with those groups as we mentioned you're one of five people who were targeted should the other four feel just as aggrieved absolutely i mean i know the other for you don't know how the law is a huge civil rights advocate in the united states head of care awesome before it was my former law partner so i mean i worked closely together on many cases i think they should and you know awesome before used to oh ok we've i'm afraid we've lost connection there with faisal gayle who was on string about the leaks from the n.s.a. we will try a connection with him later but as you heard he was quite shocked with the

allegations that he was being spied on in his own nation or i'm moving on the. russia's foreign minister house called the capture of a russian citizen in the maltese a kidnapping. most emotional this is a clear case of the kidnapping of a russian citizen in a third country the united states should warn us of any suspicions they have about russian citizens but that hasn't happened. so lisa off was drowned by u.s. agents mali airport on suspicion of stealing credit card information he was later transferred to u.s. control where charges were pressed against the moscow i cruised washington of maintaining an information black eye over the case so listen if father is a russian m.p. voiced concerns the u.s. might have abducted his son in order to organize an exchange for edward snowden in two thousand and eight twenty ten the u.s. also detained russian citizens in third countries before later sentencing them to

jail terms for at least twenty years and iraq's ambassador to the u.n. is warning that are militants from the group calling itself islamic state are now in control of a chemical site nearby the facility holes run twenty five hundred rockets filled with a deadly sarin gas charles shu bridge a former counterterrorism intelligence officer in the u.k. fears the international community underestimates the potential threat. it now appears to be the case that if not chemical weapons then certainly some of the ingredients necessary to produce these weapons have now indeed falling into the hands of what used to be called our system most extreme form of terrorist group one might say that on the other on one hand whereas it's of sick potentially embarrassing to united states and indeed the u.k. because after all these countries went to war invaded iraq purportedly to prevent chemical weapons and other w m d from falling into the hands of would be terrorists

out on the surface is what seems to have happened here but on the other hand the u.s. has a say says that these are chemical. militarily used would be dangerous to the terrorists in these very but nonetheless it's with this kind of hazardous material one might think that there would be or could be some potential danger some potential use for these chemicals in the future after all if that wasn't the case why were they being guarded in the first place. was a result that will go down in world cup history competition host brazil on the receiving end of a seven one thrashing by germany leaving the local fans devastated a number even vented their frustration in the streets with scattered incidents of brawling damage to property and clashes with police stones and debris at police responded with boston charges on a race where on the lighter side the result gave us the internet comedians the chance to demonstrate their wits. fans begged germany to stop kicking the ball on

the pro team as well brazil's most iconic statue was shown head in hands on a well known drink seemed like the only beverage for the occasion after germany's and when and finally the true meaning of the world cup logo has been deciphered but perhaps better than anything this short video describes what happened. that's it for me for now in the meantime as promised nym broad came around this documentary about n.s.a. spying in the bahamas. like i always wonder will be n.s.a. listening to my conversations. to these a place where i know for sure that they do a. place called the bahamas i went to not so pick up the city take this ticket.

i mean the past sixty nine it's just going to be like i'm pretty. sure you're free to have a shirt. and she says you don't learn here is a misnomer that. the minister the full financial services seem comfortable about the whole idea of what mr finance i mean there's nothing to do with you so we say it's economic surveillance as though like the popping in the phone. you're paying for bailing the whole world. that 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. it was not i'm not you know believe there 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. surveillance of us about it like in the fallen minister he's 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 need warrant some type of ever made. gathering but when it comes down to the. breaking of the privacy rules no individual or 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 when we are in a position to make a determination that should be you know like i'm giving people and i say stickers all right give you some just to put on your phone so you know we'll get. the people of the bahamas folk to put color in school to protest fulfill say from a. deputy prime minister philip davis he said we didn't give our consent but that is not the same thing as i don't know so the question we have is like with full brightness results the possibility of a review of one of the many reasons why we're demonstrating today if you knew us put them in a godor one of them perhaps they could be anything it could be that they just turned a blind eye without the well 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 that's going to. dismiss you suing the us government my right to privacy have been violated i've been awful all of new york i

did know you know they work and there are members of their hearts taking responsibility had already zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero followed the good thank ya i know this and have not put a. drop. on him a certain i did ok but if you just listen to people's phone calls as a whole in the bahamas all becomes about us was it ok to listen to people like you also i just hope that this is this demonstration really more information that you know the cabin of the bahamas can contain important information that should be shared with the citizens very long back. it. makes. people. see the country. we see it every day see oh it's to get caught it's the social.
