continues it's a recipe for further conflict and inevitable suffering for gaza civilian population . gaza. and international calls are mounting for israel to show restraint and stop it selling off gaza the kremlin says president putin called the israeli prime minister on the phone and urged him to stop the civilian bloodshed as soon as possible also the french leader's office says that francois hollande is worried by the offensive as well as in the escalation must end and finally in a phone call to bring them in that's when your hope president obama broker a cease fire and stop the violence. now for its part israel has vowed to step up attacks on gaza until hamas stops firing rockets and so its territory israel has already mobilized twenty thousand troops for a possible ground invasion i.d.f. spokesperson adviser earlier told my colleague why they are still pursuing the
6:05 am
offensive. this is not an operation in any capacity against the people of gaza this is an operation against hamas against an organization that purposely and specifically uses the civilian population of gaza as human shields the point is is that you're defending your people but thankfully no israelis have been killed by hamas rockets in the last number of days but let's just get some more figures because in gaza since two thousand and eight over a sauce and civilians were killed in trying twenty times more than the israeli civilian death toll is israel's reaction to rockets fired by hamas measured unjustified there are four with five million men women and children living in shelters that is something with which we cannot continue and which no other country would except we make unbounded efforts to protect the civilian population in the gaza strip before any attack is taken against hamas we take measures that no other military or no other country take in the world which include text messages to
6:06 am
people in civilian areas phone calls to their homes to do this because if the end of the day then why because i don't as you say yes margaret but why then is the un security general urging israel to show restraint but prime minister netanyahu is vowing to step up the offensive so international calls are simply being ignored aren't they. again i and he calls about international claims really should be directed towards the prime minister at the end of the day as a military big been given a very clear mission that mission is to restore quiet to the people that are living in israel and to teach hamas that there is a very very heavy price to pay to committing acts of terror and questions regarding these civilian casualties in the gaza strip i believe should also be directed towards the leadership within gaza that actively and purposefully puts its own civilians in in danger. and the israeli army says close to five hundred projectiles have come from gaza since tuesday. the r r r r r r r r

was rocket fire from gaza struck a gas station earlier today in the southern israeli town of. israeli health officials say eight people were going there one of them seriously but it's not just the socks coming from gaza israel has fired artillery shells and every politician votes with rocket attacks coming from the neighborhood called from earlier on for a public bomb shelters have been set up across israel and we have policy of reports and from one of them this is one of seventy underground shelters in tel aviv for the past few years cities around israel have been preparing shelters like this for precisely the situation they find themselves in today under rocket fire from gaza as you can see there are water barrels to the left of me there are doctors rooms and toilets above ground there is an additional two hundred and public shelters in the city now this is for people who are in cause or who are on the streets when the rocket start firing they wasn't all that was passed in israel twenty three years

ago that says that all apartments must be built with one room that doubles up as a safe room but of course you have older buildings that do not have that now all of this comes as the signs on the ground on better ground offensive is imminent we are hearing reports that the israeli army has ordered gone to residents to evacuate the homes immediately if they live near the israel gaza border now this could just be a psychological tactic or it could be and find that war is imminent at the same time there is an app that has come out that helps people find the nearest bomb shelter to where they are so it seems as if the clock is ticking closer when this might just be needed and this here on t.v. television. but what about the civilians in gaza is israel didn't enough support them or that's what peter lavelle and his cast are talking about and this nation of crosstalk throughout the day here on our hears a lot of. it is when you when. one

innocent people are in harm's way unfortunately regretfully sometimes. you're reading from the wrong script you're reading from the script from the two thousand eight hundred nine war israel hasn't even. going to ask for those that's your. script now you're using the human shields script israel has freely admitted it's targeting the homes of hamas militants civilian homes that's not legal under international law even if you give a warning even if you tap on the roof how would you like it then if i tapped on your roof. from an announcer relations between germany and the last which have reached their lowest point since their own up to the american invasion of iraq and six thousand and three germany has kicked out the cia in berlin after officials on mass to alleged us spies or anger over the snooping is
6:10 am
widespread the german interior minister states of the information ops hyun by the spies was laughable but the political damage is already disproportionate and serious and the left party member shared his outrage saying the blind trust in the us has taken a knock or seize put all of our reports from berlin on the escalating tensions. sent packing a with a flea in his ear. i just want to say that if you see it was human common sense in my opinion spying on allies and friends is a waste of energy. germany has now told the cia contact at the us embassy in berlin to get his things and leave. for the first time after a series of spy scandals this is a strong message from the germans that they've had enough of washington's behavior you know experience activity by foreign intelligence services isn't something we're taking lightly but it took
6:11 am
a whole string of and biasing snooping slip ups to get to the stage that paints a picture of an abusive relationship in june of last year it emerged that the u.s. had spied on its european allies prompting this response from the chancellor spying on friends is not acceptable then it was revealed that mrs merkel's private cell phone was bugged by the n.s.a. washington promised not to do it again but refused to sign a no spy deal bilin still wanted to talk trade and rebuilding of trust between the transatlantic partners flash forward to april of this year when germany's request to see the chancellor's n.s.a. file was turned down even then it was content to stand side by side with the u.s. president as he again spoke of their close friendship but the discovery of two potential double agents in germany and as many weeks and a lack of cooperation from the u.s. with the investigations looks like the final straw and it will be interesting to
6:12 am
see what effect the expulsion of the cia official will have on an already strained u.s. german relationship now that berlin has shown its willingness to act peter all of a r.t. germany. well washington has yet to comment on germany's anger but there she was raised at a state department briefing but spokesperson jen psaki refused to give any information when you sure you have seen the german reporter the media report saying what would you mean by that or you deny even german allegations about that there was a spy operation going on oh i'm all i meant by it was that we've seen the reports we've read the reports i'm not going to say i don't have a specific comment on it given its purported attack and sure you think those reports are true i'm not going to have anything more to add on that front. a former cia officer who worked in germany thinks the expulsion of lets hope intelligence
6:13 am
official sends a dramatic signal so they get less willing to cia chief of station is unprecedented i don't know of a single example of any nato country expelling the cia chief of station and so this is quite a significant move by the germans they're saying no more of this there's no question about it i think this one is different because i think it is a it is a maybe one or two too far it basically is the germans are saying that we have a high tolerance for the united states acting independently in our country or recruiting our government officials and turning them into spies is a step that we can't condone so that's i think it's a serious discussion going on but i as i said before i think the united states and germany have so much in common politically and every other way that eventually will blow. russia's president vladimir putin called cyber spying against allies over the

hypocrisy and his latest comments on the unveiling scandal he also said it's a direct violation of state sovereignty and infringements on human rights and privacy. all the statements was made before goodson signs off on his longest ever trip this time to south america where he's going and why later in the program. also the hard this is the plants of in syria and iraq attracts fresh recruits as a self-proclaimed islam extends calls on all muslims to join the fight there.

6:19 am
perhaps a hearing in the yeah i can't give any definite numbers concerning civilian casualties because many people died while we couldn't get to them so i don't have the statistics with ukrainian media doesn't say anything about those casualties so they are not allowed to show that or they believe that only terrorists are dying here i ask whether they tell kiev about the civilian casualties no one requested this information or no one is interested in hearing us that i even have statistics on the korean soldiers but they have their own numbers so you know one asks oz's about ours the distinction. and we. know exactly how many men women and children have been killed the civilian toll is highly and it's likely to rise. in eastern ukraine. and there has been there have you shelling in the mining area of the region not far from the border with russia at least four people were killed
