in install in four days of the israeli offensive on gaza twenty two children are among them israel is pressing on with the assault despite international calls to end the violence. burning in washington fall out of love as germany expels the top u.s. intelligence official in the country serious of a mountain spy scandals involving the n.s.a. and. at least thirty million reportedly killed in eastern ukraine as owns a government forces step up their flights following the continued bombing of rice then two areas.

good afternoon and welcome to artsy international it's good to have you with us now israel's air and naval offensive on gaza has killed one hundred palestinians twenty two of them children according to local health workers hamas is also firing rockets but no its ass have been reported in the israel now these are the pictures that you're seeing from the town of rafah and gaza you're about to see some more now. rescue workers were searching a collapsed building for simple libraries one where you missiles hit nearby it had been hit by a pretty don't strike which killed five people that belong to an islamic leader in the seven year old girl was among the dead.

was. looking. at the whole thing. israel has had over a thousand targets and it's also had ground troops on standby for several days now and the surplus harry fear reports local health workers are under real pressure already. 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 once she was hit by a second letter but her mother and brother were killed she and her sister were left in a critical condition this is to die today and the girl is still in the good scare no

one knows if she's going to make it here 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 red one that was targeted last night. while we were sitting by the entrance when the first missile hit the house of the second one soon followed on and we carried the sleeping children out and run away the children began screaming through. it's been a traumatizing couple of days for the civilians of high newness in the south of the gaza strip to during its operation israel says that it's going after 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's. 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 me so i hit my brother's house after we her 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. world leaders arjun and to the violence in gaza moscow says the spilling of civilian blood should be stopped as soon as possible and there are similar calls from france where the french president calling for deescalation and for civilians to be kept safe and president obama has offered to broker a cease fire. now israel says hamas has fired around five hundred rockets across

the border this week many of them were intercepted by the iron dome missile system the worst attack so far was against a gas station in the soudan town which was struck early friday one person was seriously injured three rockets were fired in. the mapping on israel shelby area and the response party's policy or visited one of the many public bomb shelters set up across the country. 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 forty public shelters in the city now this is for people who are in cause or who are on the streets when the rockets 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 are that a ground offensive is imminent we are hearing reports that the israeli army has ordered gaza 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 an 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 to tell of it. all to talk more on the gaza conflict let's bring in bill van as a researcher from human rights watch well thank you very much for joining us now as we know the soul in gaza has climbed one hundred many of them are children under the age of seventeen we're talking about over dozens here do you think that their shoes getting enough attention considering the amount of civilian deaths.

i think the general issue is getting enough attention but the civilian suffering is not getting enough attention it's not getting enough attention from the israeli forces who are conducting those air strikes naval strikes tank shelling and other forms of attack under the laws of war which bind israel as they bind any military force you cannot shoot first and ask questions later you have got to make sure that what you're shooting at is a legitimate target and if there's any doubt in your mind whether it might be civilian you have to hold fire and i'm very concerned that we are not seeing that we may be seeing the opposite and israel is saying that it's like the only super attacked its population from us in five but since two thousand and eight over a thousand civilians were killed in gaza and that's about twenty times more than israeli civilian death toll and if we look at the whole it's the number of

palestinian children killed since two thousand and eight and we're talking about over five one hundred in that israel's response is measured considering all this. well there's really no it's not a question of whether israel has a right to defend itself that's an obvious yes of course they have a right to defend themselves the question is how are they going about it and when they make mistakes do they learn from them when forces do something deliberate or reckless are they punished and the answer to those last questions are clear no we've seen virtually no accountability for a very well documented past cases of abuse violations and even war crimes and without accountability and with impunity then abuses will obviously continue which is that's here what you have to say about it so what the former mayor all these rallies how things he said the only way to win this war is to destroy the enemy

without excessive regard for who's a soldier and who's a civilian how does your organization respond to something like that a statement like this. well that would be a complete disaster and i hope that nobody listens to that official and you know if that official were a commander in the military and his troops acted on that order he could be prosecuted for war crimes that is just a blatant out and out you know disregard for the most fundamental rule of war which is to spare civilians and there's a good reason for it you weaken your enemy by by attacking their fighters and their military objects you do nothing to weaken your enemy by attacking a civilian population who is not fighting you it does nothing for you it's a war crime and it shouldn't be advocated the world leaders are calling for an end to the violence but israel seems determined. what do you think it will take to

agree a truce that. it's difficult to say at this point obviously both sides feel that they need to keep doing what they're doing which is you know harming unfortunately the result is that it's harming civilians world leaders need to i think make a very clear statement that violations of the objective laws the laws that apply to both sides will not be tolerated not just say things like we call for restraint or you know we hope this situation will go away they need to make it clear that there will be accountability for violations and this is going to be looked into and that it's not going to be swept under the carpet as the goldstone report was eventually put aside after the terrible carnage in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine my organization has been calling for the state of palestine to go to the international criminal court for you know

a year now and it's high time for them to do that. and as philip possibly structure from human rights watch thank you very much. is there any way to avoid civilian casualties in gaza peter lavelle's gas and cross socks are clashing over the issue and here's a quick preview of the debates they can expect later this hour if there is one when you hear. one innocent people are in harm's way unfortunately regretfully sometimes or heard you're reading from the wrong script you're leaning from the script from the two thousand eight hundred nine war israel hasn't even. if you live in moscow those that's your. old script now you're using the human shield 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 to end if i tapped on your roof. and the relations between berlin and the washington now which have been dealt a blow after the top cia officer interim n e was ordered out of the country the song reaction came after two high ranking german officials were on last as alleged to u.s. spies while anger over the snooping is widespread the german interior minister dismissed information obtained by the alleged spies as laughable but said the political damage is serious and the left party member expressed outrage saying blind trust in the u.s. has taken all back artie's put all of our has more from berlin. sent packing and 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 . or 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 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 i'm glad merkel 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 in 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 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 publicly at least so far washington has kept quiet about the diplomatic row and state department spokesperson jen psaki avoided giving any comment when asked about it 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 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 to ensure you see those reports are true i'm not going to have anything more to add on that front we spoke to philip giraldi he's a former cia officer who used to work in germany and he told us that he would be expanding that small plans halogens official as a drastic step that sends a very strong message. 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 basically is the germans are saying that we have

a high tolerance for the united states acting independently in our country but 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 all. russia's president vladimir putin away then on the scandal signs spying on allies was over at the hypocrisy he also said it's a direct violation of state sovereignty and an infringement of human rights. and spoke about the spy scandal before such on his slowness both on time and distance foreign threat we'll take a look at where he is 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 and let me put the no i'll leave that to the state department to comment on your latter point say. to carry out a call as i'm going to talk you know. you know more weasel words. when you need a direct question be prepared for a change when you when you should be ready for a. pretty tough speech. down the freedom to walk. dramas that can't be ignored to. stories others refuse to notice or. faces change the world right now. to picture a day. from around the globe. brooklyn

. welcome back to artsy international we turn our attention now to ukraine where at least thirty army troops have been killed in shelling by answer government forces in an area of strong resistance around will guns local militia also reportedly launched an attack in an area not far to the south. well this video supposedly shows the bridge which has been blown up by answer government forces who want to prevent the crimean army advancing on their homes presidential areas from rebel held by nancy pelosi grandstander and more ever aides overnight rare phenomenon that some of the victims of the government's so-called anti terrorist operation. and you day brings most summary to the city of the

guns. this girl whose mother has just been killed when a shell landed on her fourth floor balcony it was up to the daughter to tell her father. who. told her. this young man was lucky he was through to the hospital with a gunshot wound and thought unlikely to survive. can regain consciousness just minutes before we arrived yes could you succeed in if you wanted in the simple bullshit to get a new. business it's all. a son of a fertility somebody. they killed the wanted children. 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 in the water another stuck somewhere inside the metal cart 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 also to another speech and so did a lot of his just moved with his family from the suburbs of la guns into the city itself 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 with 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 ask our first question. we have to continuing to face. it perhaps a hearing in yet 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 us but i even have statistics on the korean soldiers but they have their own numbers no one asks us about our statistics and while neither the gun skokie of know exactly how many men and women and children have been killed the civilian toll is high and it's likely to rise. in eastern ukraine. and there has been heavy shelling and mining area of the region not far from the border with russia at least four people were killed after a boss transports miners to work on the fire locals say a school and the kindergarten were also hates. our online seem is working twenty four seventh's to provide you with the best stories and pictures on our t.v. of course let's take a look at what's proving popular there an australian god as if x.

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. because 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 come 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 president bush who 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 dollars turnover but it's energy deals where 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 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 alexi will shift to r.t. reporting from home on a. and some more news from around the world now first to the u.s. and see immigration protests continue in soudan california demonstrations have been
