of the conflict to check out. the. moving on israel's military crackdown on hamas continues to escalate with a rising death toll it say's operation protective edge is aimed at militants in gaza but according to u.n. estimates almost eighty percent of the victims are civilians and at least fifty palestinians were killed in the israeli bombardment on saturday night that brings the total number of lives lost in the offensive to one hundred sixty caught in the violence people are fleeing their homes but not everyone has been able to escape the deadly attacks and this really are a strike on the home of gases police chief has left at least eighteen people dead and another forty five injured over five hundred seventy has and eight mosques have been either damaged or destroyed in gaza since the offensive started meanwhile the

i.d.f. fired artillery into lebanon after two rockets hit israel and earlier government troops also launched three missiles at syrian military targets responding to mortar fire from the country's territory. i. was. a. alarmed by the mind death toll the u.n. has call for a cease fire in gaza however the conflict shows no sign of winding down with

israel's prime minister following to continue the operation against hamas binyamin netanyahu has accused fighters of using gaza residents as human shields outing the group burst full responsibility for the civilian deaths are a fear reports for r.t. from the embattled region. on a visit to gaza's main hospital we met four year old shame mastery she was injured in her abdomen she became collateral damage in a drone strike but i have. a lot of that about how william i don't have them but i want to. settle how we let them have that about them. then if this had that then. well i wouldn't going to tell them how to deal with the hey. hello is this here that they knew where they thought i thought of the 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 redwine that was targeted last night. and there's an album that is all it is a. gun in. london if you. hold it as. it's been a traumatizing couple of days for the civilians of high newness in the south of the gaza strip to during its operation israel says that it's going after 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.

almost but still so subtle. that israel has made clear that it's not interested in restraining its operational so long as hamas rocket fire continues carry three or. four israeli soldiers were wounded saturday night during a brief raid against a rocket launching site in northern gaza it was the first time i.d.f. troops are known to have entered gaza in the offensive and was artie's policy reports the incident triggered fears of a full scale ground invasion. twenty soldiers briefly entered 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 from meet witnessing the

massing of 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. israeli missiles have struck over a thousand sites in gaza this weekend of mass is vowing to avenge those attacks the militant group has launched over five hundred rockets since monday. was the size of israeli strike caused an explosion at a petrol station leaving one person seriously injured most also fired multiple rockets. but no casualties have been reported israel's anti-missile system iron dome intercepted many of the missiles keeping damage to

a minimum earlier i asked an i.d.f. spokeswoman whether she considers israel's far more lethal attacks on gaza to be proportionate to the. this is not an operation in any capacity against the people of gaza this is an operation against hamas 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 is really as 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 thousand civilians were killed in gaza that's wrong twenty times more than the israeli civilian. toll is israel's reaction to rockets fired by hamas measured on justified 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 and a day ago then why because i don't as you say yes margaret but why then is the un security general urging israel to show restraint but prime minister netanyahu is vying to step off the offensive so international colds are simply being ignored aren't they i and he calls about international claims really should be directed towards the prime minister at the end of the day as a military the been given a very clear mission that mission is to restore quiet to the people that are living in israel and to teach hamas that there is a very very heavy price to pay to committing acts of terror israel's offensive house calls public art ridge across the globe with mosse rallies held in the u.k. australia and norway the protests were peaceful for the most part of every polish fighting demonstration the french were. several hundred people gathered to protest against israel and in support of gaza residents. reportedly attacked

a synagogue tromping around one hundred jews inside riot police then the spurs to rally and everyone was able to exit the building. so the come in the program germany lifts the twenty four world cup the nation claiming its fourth global title for a tense victory over argentina that story. coming up. this same logic that the united states pursued in afghanistan you know army relatively unknown a graph if they were just soviet that was good enough for the united states and look what happened a couple of years down the line again the problem with american policy is a lack of staying power after the soviet union left afghanistan the united states essentially forgot about afghanistan that the pakistanis moved in to fill the void with the taliban that led to the growth of al qaida with all the subsequent

consequences this was in the critique of pulling out of iraq as well. as kick off again with some sports news germany has won the twenty four thousand feet world cup defeating argentina one million extra time correspondent paul scott spoke to us from we go. well germany are the football world champions and in

securing the title like become the first european nation to win the fee for world cup on south american soil it was a close edgy affair against argentina and extra time was needed to separate the two sides but in the end a cool composed finish for mario was enough to win it for germany now inside the famous american our stadium behind me there were eighty thousand spectators including german chancellor angela merkel although the argentina supporters far outnumbered their german counterparts it's those fans who have made the journey from europe who were celebrating on the streets of rio the same thing also inside the stadium was russian president vladimir putin with the responsibility for the fee for world cup now being transferred to russia who of course host the tournament in four years time and with the cards and coming down in brazil twenty fourteen attention is turning to russia twenty eight eighteen and my colleague neil harvey is in one of the future host cities. twenty eight hundred feet from both up

later on jan the money available to organize. i back in two thousand and ten it was all smiles as russia defied the odds to be one toast of the twenty eighteen world cup. victory came largely thanks to a slick promotional video which pledged to develop the movies. with another big selling point was russia's ambitious plan to build several new stadia in which will cook games could be played so four years on how exactly is not plan looking well of the twelve stadiums to be used for yet under construction there in killeen volgograd nizhny novgorod and somalia but who should be rolling soon enough with those projects the jewel to be underway by the end of this year and meanwhile the progress that some of the other venues has given russia real cause to celebrate. well here in sochi there should be no problem whatsoever the

fish stadium is tried and tested during the olympics it proved itself to be a great success it will be one or two slight alterations needed in order to turn it into a football stadium but there are only minor i think i can say future this one up as a success for the host nation this is the arena and boy is this a versatile stadium because last year they hosted the world student games that next year they'll put into swimming pools for the staging of the pheno world championships and after that it will be converted into a football stadium. in the russian capital there are two very different projects taking place to the nice stadium going up just as an old woman gets to down first there's the spot tank stadium a high tech high cost ground and in order to protect its pitch from the harsh russian winters he's using the very latest technologies and they include football's equivalent of the giant head drying system dish blows up through the profile of the

shore with on the soil heating. and bore hole to the sufis keeping the temperature as it should be and also we were going to have main large lights and legs that will cover half the pitch and the pitch will be in lights all day. so here is the spot act stadium in order its glory the playing surface is looking absolutely spectacular all the infrastructure is just days away now from completion it took four years of work and four hundred thirty million dollars of investment to get us to this point and it sees the stadium spot tack on the brink of becoming the new kid on moscow's footballing block but if you're one of those founds who prefers you'll stadium to be a little bit bigger about haps have a little bit more history and there really is only one place to go. and that steer to the luzhniki which in twenty eight team will host both the opening game at the top of it and the big one the world cup final however in order to look the part for

her big occasion the ground old lady of russian football is having to undergo a monumental make over. and. what i really mean is it's been completely gutted which is a bit how some fans must feel at the thought of losing a stadium that's filled with so many memories just like the nineteen eighteen win michigan that bear the tear to the i at the moscow olympics. the firm shouldn't be too sound because while the insides might be new the facade of the luzhniki sent to remain which means that it's not really goodbye more a case of c.e.c. . reporting for r.t. . we also have plenty more a few online including a supermoon lighting up the sky it looks much bigger and brighter than usual cause

justice ministry is demanding that u.s. spying in germany be stopped once and for all you share your correspondent peter all over. sent packing a with a flea in his ear and. i just want to say that if you see it was human common sense in my opinion spying on allies and friends is a waste of energy. germany has now told the cia contact at 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 . or foreign intelligence services isn't something we're taking lightly but it took a whole string of and biasing snooping slip ups to get that is stage it 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. from berlin to more news from around the globe at least eight people have been killed and twenty five others injured in an attack in egypt according to reports militants fired rockets on a military outpost in the sinai peninsula killing one soldier as well as seven civilians including a child no one admitted to currying out the attack but rebel groups frequently operate in the area. at least seven people have been killed and dozens injured in clashes between rival militias in libya every fighting program for control of the country's main airport and skirmishes between rival islamist groups have been on the rise since the beginning of the arab spring in twenty eleven. in the u.s. a commercial space station shipment carrying supplies science samples and equipment for astronauts has launched from the wallops flight facility in the state of virginia the on man capsule took off after a series of delays in conditions of limited visibility to the cloudy weather that

morning radio shock jock the cumia from the opie and anthony show has been fired for a massive twitter rant that he made against a woman who believe that the radio host was taking mocking photographs of her and got aggressive with him who may claim to just be taking pictures of time square now normally what you do outside of work shouldn't matter but with public personalities i can see how people want them to have good behavior all the time but the problem is that guys like him are put on the airwaves to have bad behavior what does the sirius x.m. company expect from people they put on air to be wild and raunchy this is typical corporate boardroom mentality when we want morning gigi's to be really crazy and shocking but not too crazy and show king hey i don't have a horse in this race i actually think the opie and anthony show is pretty dismal but when i see someone getting fired for wacky shock jock stuff that is in a way kind of part of his job well it just seems very hypocritical to me but that's just my opinion.
