good luck for a jury. to believe it's most sophisticated which on the police doesn't give anything. to teach creation why you should care about. this is why you should watch only. one hundred palestinians are killed after fresh attacks from five people died in gaza also hamas rocket hits a gas station insolvent israel with lebanon now joined in the fight as well. relations between the us and germany. as berlin kicks out

a top cia official and recently a since the latest scandal plus. a skier says it's ready for a cease fire in ukraine our teammates the families who've been devastated by the army air raids. that afternoon you're watching arts international come and see live from the russian capital welcome to the program. medics and say five more people have been killed. by israel this brings the total number of deaths in gaza one hundred nearly seven hundred people have been injured in the offensive. was.

more than twenty of those of lost their lives are chilling on thursday israel says it's more than one hundred targets in gaza many of the missiles land that the residential areas causing a panic to ripple through the population journalists heresy or met those caught up in the violence as the price themselves for yet more air raids. on a visit to gaza's main hospital we met four year old shame mastery she was injured in her abdomen she became collateral damage in a drone strike whatever has yet. to go went to visit her sister with her parents in the road they came on the missile fire when she tried to wade one she was hit by a second letter but her mother and brother were killed she and her sister were left in a critical condition at the system. and the girl is still in the good kid no one knows if she's going to make it clear they thought i thought doctors tell me

they've been dealing with the biting shortage of medical supplies in gaza for the last three weeks as a result of the ongoing siege but even civilians that survive the violence suffer the mental effects of living in a war zone our bed lives in a neighborhood of shaikh road one that was targeted last night. by the entrance when the first missile hit the second. carried the sleeping children run away the children began screaming. it's been a traumatizing couple of days for the civilians of han eunice in the south of the gaza strip two during its operation israel says that its going off to hamas militants those alleges are hamas militants however it's willing to go as far as targeting the home and in this case israel killed. six children and two adults when it struck this family home the family didn't have time to heed the warning drone

missile which arrived four minutes before the main strike. we were shocked when a missile hit my brother's house after we hurried down to our house was by the house was a children's playground where most of the heat again israel has made clear that it's not interested in restraining its operational so long as hamas rocket fire continues it's a recipe for conflict and inevitable suffering for gaza civilian population. gaza. and for national calls are mounting for as for all to show restraint and stop it selling off gaza the kremlin says president putin phoned the israeli prime minister and urged him to stop the civilian blood as soon as possible also the french leader's office says francois lawns believes the escalation must be brought to a halt finally in a phone call to vacuum and that's on yahoo president obama offered to broker a cease fire and stop the violence well for its part israel has vowed to step up

its hacks on the gaza hamas stops firing rockets and so let's head story israel has already mobilized twenty thousand troops for a possible ground invasion i.d.f. spokesperson to be vice earlier told my colleague. this 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 sausan civilians were killed and 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 takes in the world which include text messages to people in civilian areas phone calls to their homes to do this because of the end of the day and why because i don't as you say yes margaret but why then is the u.n. security general urging israel to show restraint but prime minister netanyahu is vowing to step off the offensive so international calls are simply being ignored are they. again i and he calls about international claims really should be directed towards the prime minister at the end of the day as the military the 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 that were

guarding 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. the israeli army says close to five hundred projects from gaza since tuesday. the r r r r r r i was a rocket fire from gaza all struck a gas station earlier today in the south and this relates her on. this rally health officials say eight people were wounded one of them seriously but it's not just coming from gaza israel has fired artillery shells and slap it on its face and for three rocket attacks from they were going to early on friday public bomb shelters have now been set up across israel and policy or reports 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 is an additional two hundred and forty 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 it 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 or if this comes as the signs on the ground on that a 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 we could be in sign 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 television. well let's now talk about lebanon's involvement in the conflict joining us as political analysts come no one from a beirut thank you very much for being with us now what would you say is behind these rocket science on israel from lebanon well so far is not known and that the that actually launched these missiles but obviously in the back there were. in the camp who actually when there is a confrontation or when there is not a confrontation they volunteer to launch missiles from lebanon into israel but i think. the lebanese army and. security apparatus would not allow this to happen from lebanon at this juncture especially it's very critical for lebanon to engage in any confrontation at this point or anything but. actually expected to see these missiles come from here and there

and in the past the lebanese army arrested a couple of palestinians who were behind the launching of some assault against israel or against. lovenox how things are still the situation get with yet another country seemingly joining the conflict. well i think the situation is very critical but i think it's still under control because i think when you have to think about is what the party of god will do and i think the party of god will abide by the lebanese government and its mission to be a deterrent and defense and defense mode for the lebanese country as long that israeli does not ask a lady on the lebanese border i don't not expect that hezbollah will be involved in this confrontation but we have to see and we how far and how dangerous this battle will continue in gaza this cannot be very long operation from the

israelis but i have to assume that the valve mount of of hezbollah in syria and the political situation and lebanon and the whole middle east which is on fire maybe we can to see a lot of restraint from the lebanese side as far as this confrontation is going how do you think this operation and the israeli offensive on gaza how will that affect the country's relations with its neighbors and globally else as well. i think there is a lot of pressure now to stop this operation from the international community but i think we we heard that mr obama made a phone call to mr netanyahu but he has to assess his political condition within his own government i think. most of region basically they're pretty much involved with internal conflict when you look at the middle east literally every country has

a major conference on no. iraq so basically this this confrontation this does that and the west bank came from nowhere at this point and maybe somebody time it to be such that but i think the level of rockets and the mom bargeman eventually can raise some major are alarm within the international community and even within the arab community which push. all parties to actually abide by a ceasefire but i don't see it any time soon i think maybe the israeli really thinking having maybe a ground operation because because they feel that maybe this is a time considering the business of the whole region in their own internal conflict . right political analyst tantalising thank you very much for your. thank you.

well a fence between terminator and the u.s. have now reached their lowest point since their own up to the american invasion of iraq in two thousand and three germany has kicked down the cia tooth in berlin that's after officials on mass to alleged u.s. spies well i'm girl over the snooping as widespread the german interior minister says that information obtained by the spies was laughable but the political damage is already this proportionate and serious and the left party member shared his outrage saying the blind trust in the u.s. has taken a knock or he's put all of our reports from berlin on these escalating tensions. sent packing a with a flea in his ear. i just want to say that if you see it with human common sense in my opinion spying on allies and friends is a waste of energy. germany has now told the cia contacted the u.s. 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. cheaper foreign intelligence services isn't something we're taking lightly but it took a whole string of and biasing snooping slip ups to get to this stage paint 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. 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. 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 his 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 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 a state department briefing but spokesperson jen psaki refused to give any information when you say you have seen the german reporter with the media report see what would you mean by that are you deny even german allegations about that there was a spy operations 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 any specific comment on it given it's purported to ensure you see 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 the top intelligence official sends a dramatic signal to the u.s. expelling the 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 it is maybe one or two too far it would 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 or 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 surprise them lot of my putin called cyber spying against allies over its hypocrisy and that was in his latest comments on the unveiling scandal feels that it's a direct violation of state sovereignty and an infringement on human rights and privacy. well the statement was made before clinton sets off on his longest ever trip this time to south america well look at where he's going to and why later and the program. well told you my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for. the pollution to know i will leave the state department to comment on your plan a plan to say. to carry out

a car is on the job here no. thank you no more we said. when you need a direct question be prepared for a change when you when you should be ready for a. freedom of speech. and the freedom to walk. dramas that can't be ignored to. stories others refuse to notice. the faces changing the world right now. to picture of today's lives. from around the globe. look to. me.

to watch an artsy international will shift the focus now to ukraine which is ready for a cease fire that's the statement of the country's prize the next cross in a phone call with the german chancellor but despite reassurances kiev is not targets and civilians rustan's reports of bringing this afternoon for ethanol stem out some of the victims of the latest military operation. and you day brings most summary to the c.t.o. of the guns. this guy who's mother has just been killed when a shell landed on her fourth floor balcony it was up to the daughter to tell her father. that although to her. this young man was lucky he was brought to the hospital with

a gunshot wound and thought unlikely to survive can regain consciousness just minutes before we arrived. these could have to succeed even if you wanted and this is simple bullshit to get a new. business it's all. a subtle call for the wallet to someone. they don't have the want to get it. or no way out of the hospital they made him drain who just dropped his wife here this is where she was sitting you can see one bullet here of nothing no more than another stuck somewhere inside the metal court and drays still in shock and can't believe his wife survived the whole mizen i was in the shop and i heard someone scream lay down on the ground but i yelled that my wife was in the car so i looked out of the window and saw that she wasn't there and heard her knocking on

the shop door. but i don't overstretch it so didn't know it and he's just moved with his family from the suburbs of la guns into the south to skate fighting between anti government forces and the ukrainian army first and go slow i don't know what to say why are they doing this to us civilians we asked the operation commanders in kiev what they're trying to achieve that they were going to the main goal now is to act carefully so civilians won't get hurt well that we don't have any definite numbers of civilian casualties we only have the numbers of dead and injured fighters of the anti terror operation. the same day he crane's deputy health minister reported four hundred seventy eight civilians have died since the beginning of the operation in one pro including seven children but just hours later the ministry denied his statistics without giving any turn to figures we meet with the health minister of the self-proclaimed people's independent republic of the

guns. that the aircraft siren starts before we even are skull first question. we have to continue having to face. it perhaps an iranian 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 of 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 but i even have statistics on the ukrainian soldiers but they have their own numbers so you know no one asks us about ours that is sticks. and. how many men women and children have been killed the civilian toll is holly and it's likely to. refuel.

in eastern ukraine. and there has been heavy shelling in the mine in the area of the lugansk region not far from the border with russia at least the four people were killed after a boss transports miners to work came under fire locals say a school and the kindergarten were also hit army and resistance forces have been blaming each other for the it's destruction is being caused on both sides of the barricades. and these are the pictures of a bridge in the danielle screen apparently being blown up by b. and c. government forces their leaders have said several crossings have been destroyed in the bid to stop the the army now in the neighboring lugansk region resistance fighters opened fire on army positions reportedly killing more than thirty troops. but you can add online to find the more forced hand accounts of the ongoing violence in the state crane we've also got

a good tourist picture but they're all part of a sad reality time seems to be standing still here fifty years of sanctions against cuba is having a huge toll on the country's economy cubans want to move forward but in order to do that they need a strong partner and moscow has made no secret it is willing to become one that's why the first stop. longest ever foreign trip to latin american countries starts here. that will rubber stamp an unprecedented agreement was writing off ninety percent of cuba's debts to the u.s.s.r. that's thirty two billion dollars astronomical money for a poor country like cuba the remaining ten percent will be reinvested in the social infrastructure projects on the intrigue is what have on the offer in return speculation takes in everything from major oil deals he will potentially has a lot of it but has no money to extract to rebuilding soviet military bases on the island and that's less than one hundred miles from the coast of the united states the next stop is where the scientists president putin has been very supportive of moscow in its standoff with the west and regrets that trade with russia has not

been better the two leaders will aim to increase the annual one point eight billion dollar turnover but its energy deals were both hope to gain a lot of power is provided using russian technology and the new nuclear power plant which will be built by russia a multibillion deal will certainly increase that last but certainly not least is brazil not only will be lucky enough to witness the world cup final from the stands and go through a symbolic handover from brazil to russia he has a lot to discuss with brazil is russia's key trading partner latin america and the two leaders share a common view on u.s. wiretapping scandals president rousseff was one of the world leaders whose phone was hacked by the n.s.a. so a joint information security project will be on the agenda here putin will also meet a dozen latin american presidents in hopes of striking new partnerships in the tool culminate with a brick summit where the final breaks of a joint bank will be late the new financial body will have one hundred billion dollar budget and could represent a solid attempt by developing economies to become less dependent on the u.s. dollar. r.t. reporting from havana. well that's up from us for this hour about then stay with

art scene for the latest edition of breaking the signs. from time to time i get emotional e-mails in broken english from quote nationalists of various sort who support the current government in kiev and it makes me wonder if young people today even know what the word nationalist means for example just last week a bill was passed in ukraine that will open up forty five percent of the country's gas pipelines and storage facilities to european and american companies let's also not forget the joe biden son was put on the board of ukraine's largest gas producer we should also remember all the way back to the first days of the coup against you know covert what did the nationalists do first sign up big time for i m f loans wow putting your country into massive debt with foreign entities now that's a nationalistic and would you think ukrainian nationalist would put ukrainians into

power all over the regions of ukraine well think again because money sure trumps ethnicity what it comes to the two thousand and fourteen governor's line up and most importantly of all how can nationalists want to join the e.u. which is lefty liberal paradise where patriotic movements are the black sheep of the continent so my dear detractors who write me letters just what sort of nationalist revolution are you so proud of i'm sorry but i'm not seeing your triumph but that's just my opinion.

what's up folks i'm out in martin and this is breaking the set so every once in a while the stories i cover on this show become even more personal than they already are earlier this week i talked about how swat teams raid one hundred forty six homes every day terrorizing families and neighborhoods across the u.s. court of the a.c.l.u. sixty two percent of these raids are to find drugs which are mostly nonexistent consider now up to a whopping sixty five percent of the raids resulted in no contraband and lo and behold not even a day after i covered this story a producer of this show's house was violently raided along with her extended family amidst the ransacking of the houses officers dismantled almost everything including baby toys a stroller and even the toilet yes because of a guilt by association case of mistaken identity my producer along with her relatives have been traumatized now having to put the pieces of their lives and homes back together look i was already pissed.
