for good morning to for me kevin i mean this is art international just past midnight here in moscow now first this morning the number of palestinians killed in gaza has surged to one hundred thirty five as the israeli offensive on gaza stretches into its fifth day saturday among the dead a victims of strikes which reportedly hit a charity for people with disabilities and an ngo for special needs children israeli military is warning two of more attacks in the coming hours. excuse i was. i. i i don't know and yet and i know what i mean but that i owe the world.
4:02 pm
more medical officials in gaza say about three quarters of all palestinians killed there this week civilians among them twenty four children israel insists it's only targeting hamas militants and i facilities because guards there is a narrow area crammed with almost two million people residential districts are frequently caught up in the firing line and with israel readying for a possible ground invasion locals expect the worst as harry feared reports next. several days into the latest escalation between israel and hamas and the situation in gaza has not eased. his relative history caring for more hard hitting campaigns to rein in the mass rocket fire along the israel gaza border as thousands were ordered to evacuate a war indicated that a ground invasion may be in it unless we were attacked by f.
4:03 pm
sixteen jets to destroy her home but that was only. when the israelis began demanding people move out of their sea and their children say so we left the area and then on the streets rockets to find vigorously from gaza israel struck up a one thousand targets many of which are homes friday morning the air force targeted a building belonging to a family and shakers while locals are adamant that it was just a residential building they also villian there are no weapons. nothing is. hidden within this building as you can see i don't know why the family managed to evacuate before the main missile struck no one was injured but they didn't have time to take their belongings before the house was destroyed late thursday night a peculiar strike took place at gaza's marina
4:04 pm
a boat owned by the international freedom to tell a coalition it was the sole target of gaza's ogg was a humanitarian project designed to export goods from the besieged enclave to the 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. healthcare system is struggling to keep or let. them not be medics to treat the injured as it is gradually increasing doctors aren't provided with medicine it will soon be tougher to provide such services border crossings closed and an intensifying block and there's really a scotian in gaza. as this war goes on it's the palestinian civilian
4:05 pm
population that is paying the greatest price the bodies continue to arrive at gaza's hospitals israel says it's got hundreds of strikes after exactly against gaza it feels very much like this is not the end of the latest israel gaza war harry fear r.t. . well the latest is has been reaction from the un security council calling for a cease fire in the escalating girls a conflict that statement demands a restoration of carbon direct talks between israel and palestine it was in approved indeed by all fifteen members of the un's most powerful body here's reaction to a news wall from the un's human rights chief she says she's deeply worried by israel's attacks on gaza is also too raising the question of their legality high commissioner navi pillay said civilian casualties are raising concerns over israel violating international law and the guards are offensives also triggered public outrage around the world let's show similar pictures this is the washington work crowd converged on the israeli embassy where demanding an end to you saw them
4:06 pm
calling israeli leaders a terrorist. time here police used tear gas to disperse garza's solidarity protest on friday for its part egypt's foreign ministry condemned the israeli airstrikes but many egyptians don't think that statement went far enough also in paris around one hundred demonstrators gathered there denouncing the gulzar offensive and demanding an end to what they describe as a massacre. from gaza's our university told us he believes israel capable of hitting militant targets without pulling civilians under direct threat. gaza is a very small territory and it is very much packed with one point eight million palestinians but even in spite of that if this rain is wanted to hit and minutes of those who are responsible for the launching of rockets against israeli towns and villages they are able to basically do without without in their injuring palestinian civilians in there doing this to populated areas now is where it is
4:07 pm
clearly. says was shot in here and targeted by the israeli bombardment they belong to the us when it's down to these two hundred yards militants but they don't give warning i'm most of the time to sow says without prayer warning which to me which results in civilian death thousand million casualties all that mounting international pressure to end the violence though seems to be having no effect on the ground israeli leaders a value to continue the gaza or offensive for its part to mass isn't backing down either raining more rockets on israel or middle east correspondent paula slee has more 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 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 that are coming from gaza are intercepted by the iron dome and the missile
4:08 pm
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 the cars and is 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 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
4:09 pm
time. but as we listen to paula's report there we've got some news coming in in front of the regime we're hearing on garza's killed at least fifteen as a missile apparently hit outside a mosque the news report through says that attack was apparently aimed at removing one of the top hamas commanders so where another israeli airstrike on gaza has now claimed at least fifty more lives will bring it up to speed of course throughout the rest of the night remember you can keep across what paula as well find out as well in israel are following her latest updates on twitter of what she is constantly reporting so you get a minute check it out. focusing in on ukraine now where residential areas on the outskirts of donetsk have come on the artillery fire for the third time in less than a day with residents now evacuating that eastern city locals say civilians have
4:10 pm
been killed. we did the study you know wolf i'm sure. that's for sure of. the antigovernment fighters put the civilian death toll much they're estimating around further to what you're seeing here are pictures from donetsk a snapshot of what life is there for some people let's get more from rif north korean. president fighting happened in the outskirts of the city of donetsk one of the biggest cities here in eastern ukraine with a population of one million people we know that multiple rocket launcher known as the hay was used followed by. the pictures we received from the ground show dramatic device station and we can clearly see that a residential area was targeted and we are also hearing reports that local orphanage and children rolled so heat and many already compare these scenes with
4:11 pm
the city of slovyansk the key target of ukrainian army four months of what kate calls its end to terror gratian the town almost leveled just a week before it was surrendered to cool still major concern is that it's happening next to a very very big city and the theories are that the violence could spread further that we were clashes along the russian ukrainian border to continue the russia's foreign ministry post about one incident in which russia's checkpoint was targeted and the report says that it came under fire coming from both ukrainian and russian side and those responsible for the firing from the russian side came from ukraine and the report says that the route proved for that. was out of the blue the people ran out unexpectedly it was an open fire on up a troll. or. judging by the damage to the car firearms were used
4:12 pm
and it's obvious they were used on purpose the investigation is ongoing. meanwhile we're hearing from the operation commanders in kiev that on friday they managed to kill around one thousand and two government fighters although they don't provide any information any details about when why it happened we hear from the operation commanders in key if the on friday they managed to kill a wrong one thousand and two government far although they didn't provide any information any further detail on when people how it happened and we heard from the present for the position that quotation for every ukrainian soldier the militants will pay with scores and hundreds of their road this information though was not confirmed by the anti government forces themselves they say they lost a dozen. well received conflicting reports but there is one thing that both sides agree on but casualties among civilians in a very high and it continues to rise and while the death toll from all sides and
4:13 pm
anger is the rising here in eastern ukraine it's clear that helps faded away the dollars that many of those who are not directly involved in this crisis are calling for now could happen any time soon. britain's publicly funded health service responding called open by american health care giants according to protesters in london who are anxious about a plan trade deal between the e.u. and the united states and the marched on the e.u. office in the british capital polyploid it was the. but this protest is all about what could end up being the biggest trade pact in history the u.s. and the e.u. are negotiating over the potential creation of a massive free trade area now washington and brussels say it's all about the creation of more jobs be used in the economy and maybe more dollars more in your eyes and also that he was right as he came in here by the slogans and the banners
4:14 pm
that deal has more than its fair share of conan and here in britain there's a particular concern over the future of the national health service the universal medical care system that is being sleep 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. and privatized parts of it irreversibly said the protestors here a demanding that the national health service the british national health service is kept out of the potential u.s. 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 assured that the future of the n.h.s.
4:15 pm
will be fully safeguarded. like he wanted to look at some of force from both sides of the fence supporters of the p agreement say will benefit europe by creating new jobs generated maybe hundred billion euros a year the area is potentially affected by the treating clued the environment investment health education and labor critics though so the deal will open the doors to things such as fracking and genetically modified food and lead maybe to a corporate takeover and also declining wages the green is also causing concern in europe powerhouse germany too peter all of us spoke with civil rights campaigner michael airflow about the possible threats posed by the treaty and his thoughts on it. what are the major concerns for germans about the tea tape 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
4:16 pm
the u.s. there are also worries that international investors and corporations will receive 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 or 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. all of
4:17 pm

4:19 pm
in rio the russian president vladimir putin has stopped off in argentina where he had a meeting with the country's president cristina fernandez de kirchner and they discussed the strengthening of political and economic ties as well assigning a number of agreements such as legal treaties including the exchange of prisoners there was also an agreement for peaceful nuclear cooperation. and also says that our table will soon start broadcasting on argentinian t.v. in spanish. from what i see. the agreement will expand the cooperation between russian argentinian t.v. channels we're grateful for the opportunity for russia's r.t. t.v. channel to broadcast in argentina everybody here will be able to freely access the network for the first time. while the president also went on to say that russia hoping to build their own global positioning satellite and they're expecting
4:20 pm
argentinian and hoping for argentinian help on the project so let's give you a bit more information about putin's counterparts and about argentina itself. cristina fernandez de kirchner is the first elected female president in argentina the keyword there was elected because isabella martin is the pro and was president for two years in the one nine hundred seventy s. on this latin american told about a mere putin also stopped off in cuba that's where he had a symbolic meeting with former leader fidel castro an influential figure who helped castro to power shake of all rock born in argentina with relations between the usa and russia out there was since the end of the cold war it seems that the two nations i don't sing to a different tune at the moment argentina is the highlight of time and argentina are of course in sunday's world cup final. against germany in the sport is a religion for fans in latin america but argentina's national sport isn't football it's a sport known as part of a mix of cross people and party like so i arrive in rio within the next twenty four
4:21 pm
hours or so ahead of the world cup final it seems that his trip across latin america is going to be dull dominated by gangs sporting ones and political ones. indeed one of the made to stop some pooches latin american tour will be the bric summit in forty days of brazil the creation of a new financial institution which is supposed to challenge the existing i.m.f. will be the central talking point i discuss the prospect for the brics group a bit earlier with william dollar as he's a political analyst at the international auctions and he so many order reserve economic life in the world since the end of world war two and especially since the end of the cold war have been controlled by a handful of wall street banks either directly or indirectly through regency like the international monetary fund and world bank and they have used their power their power to force privatization shut down of industry all kinds of aggressive. programs on countries around the world and it'll be
4:22 pm
a wonderful thing of the very good thing for humanity if the brics countries whatever their differences are among them are able to create some kind of alternative when they're also talking to about maybe creating a new internet to help hide data theft to keep data safe from foreign prying eyes whether tell us about these countries desire to go it alone in more and more areas where i think that what the united states is doing as far as spying on its own so-called allies in germany. shows very much the need for this i think that would also be a very welcome alternative. anything that can it can weaken the. monopoly power exercised by u.s. corporations in the u.s. military industrial complex in the world i think is a good thing for people. we'll be following the summit keep you up to speed on it.

a few concerns of moscow words but security was a nice pictures operating drugs near airports is another issue the really big cases with narrowly avoided collisions with planes and the more i'm up there the more danger they could be with anti drones campaigner ed can a what else is wrong with using drones force of binion purposes. one reason is the very high accident rate of this new technology another reason is that technology is rapidly advancing is evolving very quickly in developments in commercial drone technology feed into military drone technology third reason it's also probably bad for working people it's a form of automation but displaces jobs for three reasons is that with many drones in the skies it's going to be very difficult to identify them not to mention the whole issue of privacy we already have a government with the n.s.a.

people talk about human rights violations you should volves some pro western protesters getting beaten up and responsible mainstream media is usually to bomb somebody somewhere so good thing they haven't picked up a story from detroit that the un is calling a human rights violation residents of the motor city are well sadly the former motor city who are hundred fifty dollars or more behind on their water bills are getting their water shut off completely the different water and sewage department is five billion dollars in debt and that is a justification to crack down on deadbeats on the surface the seems like it open and shut case of course everyone has the right to water especially detroit which is near huge bodies of fresh water that other cities could only dream of but on the other hand if the poor don't pay for water then us taxpayers will be paying for it for them and that's not fair i think this is not so much a case of
