everyone is telling their part of the said goodbye detective that's good luck put a different look at it but also to the close of the world who do just go oh but you know you look at all of the bugs and with the school you know you look at the logo of the to do the people doing what we believe to be you need a really true solution if you really do much if you can control the area with new people who need. private houses to a. little creek or a local told us they still could be unexploded mines here smoove course then you can is not so that you'll see. just the rational being more like a weasel so what album good luck should have been getting calls for more than what we thought was him you know about that just told you it wasn't me nobody should be living some which i did feel a thought that was in me a movie will be and. this i see them as you must also see the love that the white

house is to bear in neverland is whether anybody steer inside we find out that one man was take. can buy another ambulance to fulfill what i thought of it was that it was good he said i decided to leave the to the city i was at an advanced grade general hospital we find the man has suffered multiple burns and missed our wounds but doctors say he will leave. the ambulance received another call this time no siree the doctor states because they could be targeted we're on our way to the aerial fighting it took us less than seven minutes to arrive at the scene but it was still too late this young fighter died seconds after doctors arrived we rushed to the

next address another shell another destroyed home we hear that there were many was killed here but before we learn any further details the air raid siren makes us run to a nearby basement. most of them have been abandoned for years but recently people have reopened them and this is where we hear what happened to the internet. whole oracle who want to come out. on the site and while the conflict continues to rage scenes like these are becoming an everyday reality. r.t. in eastern ukraine on sunday a russian man was killed by a shell that was fired from ukraine that landed in a small russian village on the border killing the father of four who reportedly bled to death in front of his family while two other women were seriously injured two is visibly distraught daughter described what she saw.

here burden of them is a bit short of. when you wish to do. this but spit kiev insists it's not to blame and that it was self-defense fighters who fired shell have also been reports that russia might answer with targeted strikes if the shelling continues but the kremlin has dismissed those so far as true when i keep up to speed with the latest there's a lot of information coming in r.t. dot com is the place for the full details. there's no rest for the people of gaza tonight in israel's no weeklong anti terrorist operation thousands of fled with the number of palestinians killed reaching one hundred seventy five so far most of them have been civilians the u.n. says thirty two of them indeed have been children and call the situation in the

region devastating i don't predictable fears in gaza for talking to some of the victims' relatives on the night after more than one hundred rockets were fired from gaza israel's air force targeted a home belonging to the al batch valet the target was tice batch the director general of gaza's police force who himself survived and remains in critical condition he was lucky to be among the forty two wounded and not the eighteen killed at gaza's main hospital was seventy year old name of one of the surviving injured that. was seven zero. russia lost three of her children in the targeting and. then and this is. what. most of. the strikes took place at eleven

pm mohammed lives just over the road from the batch family. they were saying evening prayers at the mosque while they were crying they realised that the area was becoming more dangerous and left to continue their present home when they got home the bombing started when. israel has used a policy of issuing warnings in some cases before making its targeting warnings either via s.m.s. fire cools in some cases leaflets but often roof knocking that is issuing warning drone strikes on the roof of the building before targeting it however in this case there was no warning of any kind and residents are adamant that israel must have known that over fifty people were in this area when it struck the way that was perpetrated it's a variation of basic principles of a traditional a traditional is very clear on this there should be principles to be preserved

proper should have at the discrimination and humility nothing of these procedures have been respected by the israeli army i asked a government spokesperson whether the targeting was justified given that israel's at war with hamas and is known to target the police everybody knows that the police is a seven work and it's helping the people service for the people he wasn't hiding actually since this conflict began last the health ministry counts eleven such incidents when family homes have been targeted with inhabitants and signed. israel's november two thousand and twelve operation did not see an israeli ground invasion it ended after eight days with a cease fire but it did not fully eradicate the masses rocket capability now israel's says it is a must for israel to stop all rocket fire from gaza and that they don't know how long the campaign will continue given the daily loss felt by palestinian civilians

here people fear how this conflict will evolve howry fear r.t. . one surgeon at a hospital in gaza told us the third often having to administer treatment to entire families. we have a lot. of victims from. just one one man or. family more than fifty percent of. the victims are from. woman. over everything they haven't. even so there is no electricity and they are living. a living that without without anything for its part israel says nearly a thousand rockets have been fired by hamas since that offensive began a week ago this video shows palestinian made rockets being fired at. israeli prime

minister binyamin netanyahu says he's ready to use all means necessary to stop the militants the country's also stepping up preparations for a possible ground invasion to fall asleep or further what people in tel aviv think of the offensive of. most israeli supported the military strikes over gaza seeing it as a legitimate response to defend the country's borders but at the same time people here are afraid the iron dome anti-missile defense system intercepts around ninety percent of rockets it's that ten percent that remains that has seen some never misses who could accept to receive myside like this without doing a thing it's not possible i do very sad really very sad that i think that the israelis don't need this kind of life and really cared about everything. just i don't know how to feel about it israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu

has scored political points with this military offensive even the opposition inside his unity government supports the military strikes although they are calling for a diplomatic solution there is of course a very cool voice inside this racist. i two who now wants to see all gazans killed they will be the ones at the forefront of calling for a ground offensive i hope so that now they're going to defy them to find this they're about entering those three i being that they should do something really radical because a thing that is the they giving them like too much time like they have in their old time to send more. but most israelis make the distinction between hamas that rules gaza and the ordinary civilians who live there. i think there also needs to be an opening or some kind of hope for the palestinian residents when all of this is over because if at the end we're back to square one it means we didn't do much all meanwhile israel's aerial strikes continue and people here live in fear of the

next rocket fire policy r t tel aviv. israel's offensive posts calls public outrage across the globe look at these pictures some of the scenes mass rallies held in the u.k. australia and france the protests were peaceful for the most part but a pro palestinian demonstration in paris did turned violent crowds attacked two synagogues trapping around a hundred people inside. reporters for r.t. on both sides of the border posting live updates on twitter how to fear sending pictures in from gaza to fall asleep reporting from the israeli border where she says an i.d.f. soldiers injured by hamas fired rockets keep up to speed with the latest on twitter on the line from us r.t. dot com. and of course here are two more the world's top stories ahead and hopefully two will take you shortly live to brasilia there the russian a brazilian president is set to give a news conference in the next few minutes we'll take you there soon as it happens.

history is never really dead as long as it's with us the start of the first world war one hundred years ago is a case in point in numerous ways the beginning and conclusion of that conflict shapes our world today. we can with knowing if you're going to feel some of. the consensus. choose your opinions the. choose the stories that impact your life choose you access to.

the. economic ups and downs in the final months of the deal and the rest because i. believe if we. stayed here in moscow now for a britain you better watch what you post on the internet as it's all about to go into the intelligence archives apparently it's down to a new emergency lol big push through by the government a lot of security agencies to store uses data for up to a year while the boy has got the story. the u.k. prime minister says britain me these emergency laws that force telecommunications companies to hold wreck or words of customers data because back in april the european court of justice scrapped an existing law that already forced companies to

do just that on the grounds that it infringed human rights so the british government wants to rush through its own law david cameron says that telecoms firms are just weeks away from deleting customer information ministers say that would have serious consequences for police and counter terror operations sometimes in the dangerous world in which we live we need our security services to listen to someone read the e-mails to identify and disrupt a terrorist plot as prime minister i know examples we're doing this stopped a terrorist attack according to the law mobile phone providers will have to store data on who contacted who under way for twelve months so that means your messages websites you visited and even the places you've been so you if they're recorded on geo location apps like facebook well or we were to take anyone who's followed the

snowden revelations even briefly we know that we already have huge parts of massive violence here in the united kingdom and we have a program called mastering the internet inside but in fact this is not protected us people have still become radical radicalized we know that these powers are disproportionate it's about targeting all of sit turns all of us from citizens into suspects the laws being rushed through parliament and could be enforced before the trees out but perhaps one small consolation for its opponents the regulations will automatically expire in twenty sixteen which means politicians will have to re-examine the measures. all over again in two years' time. and i say will supply edward snowden seriously doubts the need for such an emergency law here in an exclusive interview to be published in britain's guardian newspaper coming up snowden says he's worried about the lack of public debate on the issue that's going

to touch every citizen the editor of politics doco dot u.k. in fact as well as leaders want to speed up approval of the law to evade parliament . you do of course want to be protected from terrorists and extremists at the same time you also need some protection from your own state from your own government and the third tarion governments which exist of course across the west as they do across asia and many other regions will tend to go to the absolute limits of their powers in tracking their citizens and but what we've already seen from the last few years is that whatever nor you put down to monitor the amount that you are surveyed by your own government they will go up to the absolute minutes of what that nora downs so yes we need protection absolutely from terrorists and some aspects of this legislation would provide that but we also deserve some protection from our own governments and from their insatiable desire to snoop on our own private activities this suggestion that they have some enormous and didn't see that they're about to get cut off from all of this information that peter paul isn't terrorists will run

free doesn't really stand up to scrutiny the understanding along and among a lot of campaign it is actually this is being forced through very quickly virus secret deal done behind closed doors between the three party leaders in order to just get it down get it on the statute book with a minimum of scrutiny and with a minimum of parliamentary debate. but first is intelligence services already accused of being on the wrong side of a mole it's found itself in the dock accused of illegal snooping activities the details of that on a website you can also with but about tough the rules the u.k. calls to that story seems offices are being encouraged to snitch shown each other if they break their own code and we'd better do sometimes online because it lined up for you know what our teeth don't call. and what's this sudden blog all hail blog this great video a mole run for cover called. write the scene. search string. and i would think that you're.
