outside world to boost the economy and act as a symbol of palestinian nonviolent resistance in the face of what they see as the israeli occupation palestinian activists say israel struck the boat to ruin their work but it's unclear if militants were at the marina that night in what's normally a relatively safe area of gaza more than eight hundred gazans have been injured and there. health system is struggling to keep the well. treated injured just as gradually decreasing. provided with medicine it will soon be tougher to provide such services to the christians closer to an intensifying block and the israeli escalation in gaza. as this war goes on it's the palestinian civilian population that is paying the greatest price the bodies continue to arrive at gaza's hospitals israel says it's got hundreds of strikes

left exactly against gaza it feels very much like this is not the end of the latest israel gaza war. un human rights chief is deeply worried about israel's attacks on gaza and is raising questions of their legality here is commissioner navi pillay statement noting the civilian casualties among the palestinians that are concerns about whether israel is violating international law the gaza offensive also triggered public outrage in other places around the world this is washington where crowd converged on israel's n.b.c. for an end to the assault i'm calling israeli leaders terrorists in cairo police used tear gas to disperse a gaza solidarity protest friday and ships foreign ministry condemned the israeli air strikes but many egyptians don't think the statement goes far enough one hundred demonstrators gathered in paris as well denouncing the gaza fence have been demanding an end to what they call a massacre how senior researcher bill van as well from human rights watch thinks israel is violating the law as. the civilian suffering is not getting enough attention it's not getting enough attention from the israeli forces who are
9:06 am
conducting those airstrikes 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. the opposite 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 the mounting international pressure to end the violence is having no effect on the ground israeli leaders vowing to continue the gaza offensive hamas isn't backing down either raining more rockets down on israel our middle east correspondent paula sleepier has the look from tel aviv. the situation here in israel is extremely tense barrages of rockets continue to be fired at the country from gaza there was
9:07 am
one incident when a gas station in the city of ashdod was hit and one person has been seriously injured in fact that is the most serious incident so far ninety percent of the rockets are coming from gaza into state to buy the iron dome anti-missile defense system on friday night three missiles were intercepted over the skies of tel aviv and i was at an open field when this happened and it's almost surreal people rushed out of a cars and there's almost a few seconds before they can get to the ground or hide behind some kind of building many people just watching this interception in the sky and when it happened there was this huge applause that went up from people on the street where i was but certainly people are afraid what we're hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is that he will not back down and he will certainly not back down to international pressure he says and i'm quoting that the battle is progressing as planned so there is the sense on the ground that this could ultimately lead to a ground offensive as you well know thousands of reserve soldiers have been called up the head of the israeli army is also saying that gazans made
9:08 am
a grave mistake by launching rockets at israel and that they will bring disaster upon themselves so certainly the rhetoric that's coming out at the moment does seem to suggest that this operation will continue and possibly continue for quite some time. remember you can hear bob all of our listeners reporting on what's going on in israel by following her updates on twitter. to be in the. in the ukraine renewed artillery fire hit residential areas in a small town in the software claim donetsk republic local saying civilians have been killed. is it the. move. is true of. any government fighters put the civilian death toll higher thirty years or the latest pictures from the city murray if an ocean reports from eastern ukraine. well the tone of muddy and so on president to
9:09 am
dudley and devastating we know that the multiple rocket launcher known as overhead was followed by multiple pictures received from the ground show gymnastic devastation we can see clearly that that residential area was targeted and we're also hearing reports that the towns open and we're all so great many already compare these scenes with the balance of the feet tall beautiful ukrainian army in months with cold it's anti terror of the race should all these happening outside the nets give the eastern ukraine has now become a major battleground off to become a tourist surrender meanwhile we hear from the operation commanders in kiev that the friday they managed to kill a wrong one thousand and two government parties will lose it it didn't provide any information any further detail on when or how it happened and we heard from the president for the british that quotation for every ukrainian soldier the militants
9:10 am
will pay with scores and hundreds over the road this information though was not confirmed by the end to government forces themselves they say they lost a dozen of them. conflicting reports but there is one thing that both sides agree on but casualties among civilian population a very high and it. will rise and while the death toll from all sides and anger over the rise in eastern ukraine it's clear that faded away the dogs that many of those who are not directly involved in this crisis a calling for now could happen any time soon. britain's publicly funded health service or a speeding car go up and buy u.s. health care companies according to protesters in london anxious about a plan trade deal between new when the u.s. they marched on the u.n. headquarters in the british capital polly boycott was there. but this protest is all about what could end up being the biggest trade pact in history the u.s.
9:11 am
and the e.u. are negotiating over the potential creation of a massive free trade area and i washington and brussels say it's all about the creation of more jobs for use to the economy and making much all the more your eyes and ultimately will bond as you can hand by the slogans and the banners or that deal has more than its fair share of opponents and here in britain there's a particular concern over the future of the national health service the universal medical care system that is fiercely guarded by a lot of people here in the u.k. now the coalition government as part of a shake up of the n.h.s. has already contracted out an increasing number of services to private profit making companies and the worry is that this deal would allow u.s. companies to come into the n.h.s. i'm privatized parts of it irreversibly said the protesters here i did mons ing
9:12 am
that the national health service the british national health service is kept out of the potential us e.u. trade agreement entirely now of course these talks are being held in secret that worries protesters as well they simply don't know what's being discussed but the main e.u. negotiator has a sure that the future of the n.h.s. will be fully safeguarded potential deal between brussels and washington also causing concerns in europe powerhouse in germany peter overspoke a civil rights campaigner for about the possible threats posed by the treaty what are the major concerns for germans about the teats hip negotiations. in germany there are a lot of citizens who are worrying that european standards will sink we're talking about consumer protection and environmental protection those standards are lower in the u.s. they're also worries that international investors and corporations will receive
9:13 am
special legal treatment that will lead to the abolition of some environmental and social protection laws. in the last two weeks we have seen the relationship be somewhat strained with regards to spying but do you think that would have any kind of impact on the negotiations for the trade deal all is this pretty much already a done deal chimney all set to sign that part of it is going to cause i don't believe it will have a significant effect on talks it's going to take until the end of two thousand and fifteen when negotiations should be completed this current affair will be forgotten quickly and i think negotiations will continue as if it didn't happen thank you very much it does seem that despite germany taking the unprecedented action of expelling that cia operative and seemingly standing up to the united states when it comes to trade they are going to sign this deal despite the concerns of some of the citizens here in germany. more stories on the way putting vladimir putin's trip to latin america in just a few moments to report on the russian president's tete

9:17 am
