we will not stop until it is done what is more precious music more movie. one hundred palestinians die in four days of the israeli offensive twenty three children are among them israel is pressing on will be a sole despite international calls to end the violence. up to fifty ukrainian troops are reportedly killed and over one hundred injured after they come under attack by and government forces in the country's east. local militia blind following the continued bombing of residential areas in defiance ukrainian cities. also for elin and washington fall out of love as germany

expels a top u.s. intelligence official in the country yuri us of a mountain spy scandal involving the n.s.a. . that evening at six pm in the russian capital you're watching artsy international with a marina welcome to the program 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 deaths have been reports and there's now these are the pictures from the town of rafah in gaza. i am. the workers were searching a collapsed building for survivors one is there and maybe the silence that nearby

that had been hit by a pre don't strike which killed five people that belong to an islamic leader and the seven year old girl was among the dead. at the end of the booth and i think. israel has had over a thousand targets in gaza and it's also had ground troops on standby for several days now and the journalists have a fear of reports local health workers are the real pressure already. on a visit to gaza's main hospital we met four year old shaman mastery she was injured in her abdomen she became collateral damage in a drone strike but i have yet. to go went to visit her sister with her parents in the road they came on the missile fire when she tried to avoid one she was hit

by a second 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 care no one knows if she's going to make it. 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. we were sitting by the entrance when the first missile hit the house and the second one soon followed and we carried the sleeping children out and run away the children began screaming through fear. it's been a traumatizing couple of days for the civilians of high newness in the south of the gaza strip two 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 their homes 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 out our house was hit by the house was a children's playground where most of the heat's game that israel has made clear that it's not interested in restraining its operations so long as hamas rocket fired. continues it's a recipe for further conflict and inevitable suffering for gaza's civilian population. gaza. world leaders arjen an end to the violence in gaza moscow says the spilling of civilian blood should be stopped this is possible and there are similar calls from france where the french prize than

calling for deescalation for civilians to be kept safe and president obama has offered it's a broker a cease fire but we're getting reports of at least soon hamas rockets landing in israel over the past several hours there were no injuries reports of the f. let's get more from marty's policy are joining me live from tel aviv their poll also israel's offensive doesn't seem to have stopped hamas firing rockets now has it. it said he has and what we've witnessed is hamas rocket fire from gaza into israel continuing since tuesday when this operation began there have been some five hundred rockets now in one of the worst attacks a pixel station in the israeli city of ashdod was hit and one person in that incident was seriously injured and the other three rockets were fired at israel at northern israel from lebanon so there are growing concerns that the violence could escalate and if we could ultimately be looking at some kind of full scale war at the same time israelis are becoming increasingly afraid you have sirens that are

sounding throughout the day i can tell you that here in tel aviv when a siren goes people panic people rush from the cars people rush to bomb shelters or stay cases although often it's just a few seconds where nobody really knows what to do now with me i have gideon levy who is a columnist with the hobbit snooze paper gideon thank you for joining us how are israelis feeling amid this is collating violence there is obviously a sense of fear but they're seeing this iran dome system made it much easier for most of these railways as we can see that until now we have two such worlds there were no israeli casualties and people in the field in a way more secure than in their former operations the former mayor of shallow the israeli town sayed and i'm quoting the only way to win this war is to destroy the enemy without excessive regard for who's a soldier and for who's a civilian do many israelis feel the same way unfortunately i just want to correct

you he's not mayor because she knows a settlement and that the city that's remember this. this is the most fear after every in the beginning of every military operation and it's becoming worse and worse from work aeration corp because israel is becoming more and more militaristic and they should really stick one can understand the popular sentiment that something my. be done because there are all kinds of folding on our heads but from here until those seek expressions of chauvinism militarism and lack of any kind of understanding will tease humanism and what is international law that this thing is still very big this is not the first time that israel has try to defeat hamas what makes the israeli government think that it will succeed this time it's a very good question i think there is no chance to win in the terms of a big story that everyone is expecting because we have been in this film so many

times in the past we have done every seeing a ground operation cast lead and was a ration this problem will never be solved by force and i wish the israeli government and the very public opinion would have understood it once and for all but let's just assume it is solved doesn't it create a void i mean is the l. tentative scenario it not even more damaging for israel the all have elements like islamic jihad perhaps coming to power in the gaza strip that's another question to those who want to smash the hamas will do singly come instead of the hamas the government of looks and bold i mean people who lost any kind of logic or a chanel eighty people are now reacting emotionally one can understand it but the skin notes influence the decision makers because this is really the will. right now when this emotional turmoil is taking place and yet despite that the

country seems waiting itself for a ground offensive thousands of reserve soldiers have been called up as the fourth day comes to a close back to you in the studio artie's middle east correspondent policy there thanks very much. the i.d.f. accuses hamas of using the innocent people as human shields and gaza while critics say israel bears responsibility for the tellings here lavelle's gas and cross clash over this particular issue and here's a quick preview of the debate that you can watch in full later on r.t. . if there is one when you when. one innocent people are in harm's way unfortunately regretfully sometimes or heard then 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 gone away children are not just enough are going to continue living in the past where those that. the old scripts now 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. now these pictures they can see right here is what was left after shelling by and government forces in an area of strong resistance around the eastern ukrainian city of lugansk local media say up to fifty army troops have been killed and the show forces have also reportedly launched an attack in an area not far to the south. this video supposedly sells a bridge which has been blown up by and so government forces who want to see the band think write an army advancing on their homes residential areas in rebel held but have scuttled bands going toward more air raids over night and raf and also met

some of the victims of the government's so-called adds its harris operation. and you day brings most to the city of the guns. this goes mother has just been killed when a shell landed on her fourth floor balcony it was up to the daughter to tell her father. told 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 do succeed in which he didn't miss it seemed to bullshit getting. the sense that it's all. a subtle call for the floor all the way to somebody.

to tell him to work it isn't. well now we are out of the hospital we need to 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 court and drays still in shock and can't believe his wife survived the whole margin 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 that's not enough to switch it so that a lot of his 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 think it will slow i don't know what to say why are they doing this to us civilians we

asked the operation commanders in kiev what's they're trying to achieve. the main goal now is to act carefully so civilians won't get hurt we don't have any definite numbers of civilian casualties we only have the numbers of dead and injured fighters of the anti terror. the same day equines 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 continue the interview in the basement. perhaps an iranian 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 the civilian casualties. no one requested this information or no one is interested in doing that i even have statistics on the korean soldiers but they have their own numbers so you know no one asks us about ours to districts. and while neither lugansk oaky 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 so on the way for you same set say their furniture lives. white kids are playing with white kids black kids with black kids middle class on their own which in class on their own annual report reveals the british capital may be able to call a troll but

a different communities aren't talking to each other. they all told him a language of what i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports for unlike the pollution and no i will leave them to stay current a comment on your latter point of the month to say getting closer carryin a car is all you're talking delgado. thank you no more weasel words. when you have a direct question simply prepared for a change when you draw a line you should be ready for a. printout of speech and a little bit on the freedom to question. dramas that can't be ignored to. stories others the few who

still notice. the faces changing the world lights now. to picture of today's lives lost on demand from around the globe. looking. to fifty. welcome back to r.t. international will continue now with the relations between burley and washington which have been dealt a blow after the top cia officer in germany was ordered out of the country the strong reaction came after two high ranking german officials were on the past as alleged the response was anger over the snooping is widespread the german interior minister dismissed the information obtained by the alleged spies as laughable but said the political damage is serious and left party member expressed outrage saying blind trust in the u.s.

has taken in the back and the justice minister has the man that the u.s. spying in germany to stop the once and for all artes people all over has more from berlin. 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 no told the cia contacted 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 by foreign intelligence services isn't something we're taking likely but it took a whole string of and biasing snooping slip ups to get to this 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 and 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 publicly at least so far washington's has kept quiet about the diplomats but state department spokesperson from psyche of war that given any comment when she was asked about that. when you show us. the german we will show the media reports saying what would you mean by that are you denying the german alleviations about the wars is going on. all i meant by it was that we've seen the reports we've read the report so i'm not going to say i don't have any specific comment on it given its purported to ensure you see it as you push it to i'm not going to have anything more to add on that front. there you have it's freedom of information act as the army by rights also has a spot on the top intelligence official is a drastic step that sends a strong message is kinds of measures are actually only done for a pariah states like north korea and so forth this is

a political earthquake you could call it there's going to be serious ramifications i mean. maybe the. trade agreement might be at risk i think that the political climate here is at a very critical. point in time and people want solutions they want answers they want their elected officials. holding them to account and to protect their rights their constitutional rights and i would suggest that that that in the coming months i think we're going to see more of this sentiment yes indeed russia's president vladimir putin way then on the scandal same spying on allies was overt hypocrisy he also said it's a direct violation of state sovereignty and an infringement of human rights. well putin spoke about the spy scandal before such no one his longest both in time and distance foreign trip will look out where he's go away and why later in the program

following the president to see both south america and russia have to offer each other. the sun faded buildings have on a may make a good source 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. and i would 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 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 the hope of striking new partnerships the tool culminate with a brick summit where the final bricks 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 cuba. over the past decade the number of ethnic minorities in britain has almost doubled it's made the capital in particular a highly diverse place but it doesn't mean that different communities who live next door to each other have anything to do with each other reports on the reality behind multiculturalism. politicians celebrated sociologists note it in london as well they take it for granted the british capital is so multicultural it is the first city in the u.k. where white british people have become a minority over a third of london's residents were born outside of the u.k. and a third of foreigners over three hundred languages a spoken on the streets of the city and if you tried we could probably track down representatives of every race religion culture and nation but here's the thing

according to a new report by the social integration commission think tank london may be diverse but people are sticking to their own kind the capital is the place in britain where ethnic communities mix the least we do think of london as being a melting pot we do think of it as being the most diverse part of the country diversity does not automatically lead to integration when we look at a school playground and we see that white kids are playing with white kids black kids with black kids middle class on their own working class on their own i think as a gut reaction that that most of us would say that that is a bad thing that we want some kind of mixing better there's a growing trend for white britons to leave the capital for other areas prompting concerns the city could be sleepwalking into ghetto like segregation is probably an element here in london where big believe in busy lives commuting long distances so their free time in london is probably less than is elsewhere in the country and

then where they're choosing to spend that free time is with people who look to a greater or lesser extent like them this isn't about saying hello to people on the bus this is about a little bit further having a conversation on the books so it's a step further from diversity in toleration into something a little bit deeper and that's where we see those divides coming a little bit clearer and those dividing lines could lead to greater fragmentation right. then integration. well that's it for us for now up next though erin a takes us food of all its top economic headlines and stay with us here on the arts and.

from time to time i get emotional emails 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 nine 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 nationalistic and would you think ukrainian nationalists 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 governors lined 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. there i marinate this is boom bust and these are some of the stories that we're tracking for you today. first up chinese buyers are scooping up tens of billions of dollars worth of u.s. homes so where and how much are they buying it will look into.
