8:07 pm
known to us when it's down to the islamic jihad militants but they don't give warning i'm also the time to hit these houses without warning which to me which results in civilian death thousand million casualties the mounting international pressure to end the violence is having little impact on the ground israeli leaders are vowing to continue the gaza offensive hamas is not backing down either as it continues shelling israeli territory now in a separate development several hours ago three missiles coming from the lebanese side of the border landed in the north of israel prompting it to fire back in response i released corresponding policy or as 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
8:08 pm
rockets are coming from gaza into said to by the iron dome and the missile defense system on friday night three missiles were intercepted with 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 it'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 apparel was that went out 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

8:11 pm
side and those responsible for the firing from the russian side came from ukraine and the report says that they're all proofs for that. was out of the blue the people ran out unexpectedly it was an open fire one up a troll. or. judging by the damage to the car firearms were used and it's obvious they were used on purpose the investigation is ongoing. meanwhile we hear it from the operation commanders in chief that on friday they managed to kill a round one thousand and to government if itis although they don't provide any information they need to everybody why it happened and we heard from the british presence at the foot of that quotation for every ukrainian soldier the militants will pay with scores and hundreds over the road this information there was not confirmed by the end to government forces themselves they say they lost a dozen. conflicting reports but there is one thing that both sides agree on but

8:13 pm
they marched on the blocks office in the british capital party's point boyko was there. well 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 and i washington and brussels say it's all about the creation of more jobs the studio economy and making much all of us more your eyes and ultimately will bond as you can hand by the snow begins and the bannister that deal has more than its fair share of coding and here in britain is a particular concern over the future of the national health service the universal medical caste system that is being c. guarded by a lot of people here in the u.k. now the coalition government is possibly shake up at 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.
8:14 pm
companies to come into the n.h.s. i'm privatized parts of it irreversibly said the protesters here i demand saying 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 said you don't know what's being discussed but the main e.u. negotiator was assured that the future of the n.h.s. will be fully safeguarded supporters of the transatlantic trade agreement say it will benefit europe by creating new jobs and generating one hundred billion euros a year the areas potentially affected by the treaty include the environment investment health care education and a labor critics say that the deal will open the use doors to things such as fracking and genetically modified food and lead to corporate takeovers and decline
8:15 pm
in wages as well the agreement is also causing concern in europe's powerhouse germany are all over spoke with civil rights campaigner michael about the possible threats posed by the treaty. 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 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
8:16 pm
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. russian president vladimir putin continues his tour of latin american countries his most recent stop was in argentina where the leaders of the two nations signed a nuclear energy cooperation deal we've got all details after a short break. it's like you don't want the bullets to stop. because it's like.
