really. only ladybugs don't you think doubling. that on your was given to you do. you think she would. discuss the latest cross border violence i'm joined live by alexander mercurian international affairs analyst thank you for joining us here on our t.v. so russia has reportedly called on ukraine to stop this cross border what they're calling provocations they've continued now and have turned deadly why do you think that they do persist. i think that there is fighting going on on the ukrainian border the ukrainians have been trying to to cane control all these border posts and i think some of their fighting is spilling over into russia the point i would make here is verge of course on the second of july the ukraine committed to sell to a cease fire an unconditional cease fire and agreed to work and russia in return agreed to allow monitors ukrainian monitors on its side of the border the problem
8:05 am
is the ukrainians have not taken up into all this and have not carried out the cease fire even though the germans and french and the creators themselves of it to accept the russian officer so that is why we have seen this escalation because they have pursued a military reconquest of the border areas rather than seek a diplomatic sense i'm going to come ask ourselves these latest incidents why there are severe consequences what do you think those consequences couldn't tell. but while he couldn't tell military action if we go back to international law here on q. fifty one of the un charter allows the states to act to repel an armed attack opponents and i think what has happened is an attack was like. a reversible consequence is harsh mander is the word that was used against the day measures we did russian

the mental effects of living in a war zone our bed lives in a neighborhood of shaikh road one that was targeted last night. and i'll be. done as little as a. gun in the. line of needs a few miles. it's been a traumatizing couple of days for the civilians of han eunice in the south of the gaza strip to during its operation israel says that it's going off to hamas militants those ledges 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.
8:10 am
almost but still so subtle. in the middle of. the mist said that israel has made clear that it's not interested in restraining its operation on gaza so long as hamas rocket fire continues to see. israeli commandos conducted a raid on a rocket launch site in gaza sunday morning triggering fears that a full scale ground invasion could be imminent the i.d.f. has been massing troops on the border for several days now our middle east correspondent policy or reports. twenty soldiers briefly into northern gaza the i.d.f. says that the purpose of the mission was to destroy rocket launching sites we understand that there was a brief exchange of fire during which four israeli soldiers were likely wounded but the army has since returned to israel of course the question being asked is whether or not this is a precursor for a ground offensive certainly the sense on the ground and witnessing the amassing of
8:11 am
tanks and armored personnel vehicles and troops along the border it does seem as if a ground offensive could be imminent and certainly the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has indicated that this is an option that he is considering the word from the israeli army however is that they are ready for a ground offensive but that ultimately this is a political decision. hamas are and who have enjoyed the attacks on gaza and has been a reigning more rockets down in israel no deaths are being reported yet in israel the worst hamas attack this week at a petrol station in the south of the country. wow r r r r r r r r m. a r r a man severely injured in that attack and all five israelis were wounded by hamas strikes this week sirens sounded several times a day across israel people rushing to bomb shelters many rockets being intercepted by the anti-missile iron dome system in general you know i asked an i.d.f. spokeswoman whether she considers the israeli attacks on gaza to be that. this is not an operation in any capacity against the people of gaza this is an operation
8:12 am
against some us against an organization that purposely and specifically uses the civilian population of gaza as human shields the point is is that you're defending your people but thankfully no israelis have been killed by hamas rockets in the last number of days but let's just get some more figures since two thousand and eight over a sausan civilians were killed in gaza that's right twenty times more than the israeli civilian death toll is israel's reaction to rockets fired by hamas measured unjustified there are four with five million men women and children living in shelters that is something with which we cannot continue and which no other country would accept we make unbounded efforts to protect the civilian population in the gaza strip before any attack is taken against hamas which include text messages to people in civilian areas phone calls to their homes the end of the day and why because i don't and as you say yes margaret but why then is the u.n.

stadium where it all kicks off but does the u.s. so far it is they all clamping down on european banks especially at the moment for what they see as violating trade sanctions now this could potentially alienate the u.s. from its traditional allies of course we had the french bank being people power about find nearly nine billion dollars then it was commerce bank it's thought we find hundreds of millions for breaking u.s. rules now what does this mean for the u.s. could it mean they are seeing themselves from traditional partners what is the us an expert right now into a buy on all of the clock from to me this oldest investment bank loan birds of the air thank you for joining me today because some a rather glorious moscow would be ok do tell me we can have a bit of a stroll i think is the u.s. alienating itself or is it right to be enforcing such huge fines the european banks and actually all the banks in the world all.
