8:05 am
his soul a fraction of an accordion effect something that sends it all so i would have hear from a lot of the witnesses who was in that train wreck as well and that he actually helped some people get out and told this a couple of lies. buccal what would you want i was inside the first carriage a sudden boom knocked me over the lights went out everyone huddled together. it was clear the train derailed in the carriage in front of us was turned ninety degrees against the tracks a small fire broke out and we had to use two fire extinguishers to put it out for a person who was standing next to me when the tragedy happened hit his head there was a lot of blood and he blacked out. well one of those people although i'm three he's actually a very good acquaintance so you can get a hold of them up for a large part of the morning and so that was a sense of relief when we finally got to speak with him and found out that it was
8:06 am

8:07 am
yes that's the big question at the moment why is and not get clear but we do know that a criminal investigation had been launches currently underway the mayor of moscow instructs her all the services ingold to carry this out as soon as possible and they're saying mr nation that it will be taken about at least a couple of days to complete the process to. making any decisions right now. while there's still one system. that's a fire alarm that was set off and that caused that power outage on the one of the rails and that calls the metro train to derail so that's one of the version. that we're going on right now but it's still. going further. let's get back to the us about this is that they said. well he said. for a very group lawrence as to how much it's

top stories israel threatening to intensify its gaza campaign which has already killed nearly two hundred palestinians if hamas doesn't agree to a cease fire deal deescalation plan proposed by egypt was given support by israeli leaders rockets were still being fired from the palestinian territory after the suggested deadline harry fear reports for us from gaza. israeli army has said that it will says it will cease its strikes on gaza so far today while hamas has rejected the ceasefire it's polk's person saying that it's not acceptable given that hamas has conditions have not been met for example the lifting of the blockade of gaza hamas is military wing the brigades has said that it will increase the intensity and ferocity of its strikes on israel israel's been able to strike rocket launching infrastructure and cause vast damage to the hamas organization here so
8:10 am
there are those in israel who say that israel's operation has basically been vastly successful. almost two hundred palestinians have been killed most of those civilians even one of gaza specialist hospitals that's one of five medical facilities have been damaged in this week's worth of violence. after a week of fighting over two thousand two hundred sites have been targeted in gaza with missiles striking hundreds of homes as well as police stations civil administration buildings mosques and hospitals gaza's only rehabilitation hospital took direct hits its director general explained how it became a target in the morning we were hit with the first missiles from those are the warning signs that. leave this hospital we're going to destroy the missiles hitting within fifteen minutes of third one hundred fifty four point came from the rules
8:11 am
but we are staying here to help support and protect and shield the patients but they are helpless among the seventeen patients here only a couple were conscious and able to talk to us the rest as they constitute some of the most severe medical cases in signed ganser when the rockets hit was inside the clinic. on. then we'll go on but the lives of those less known as adamant that little mohamed. has so without a model. with just one kilometer away from the border with israel and this is where the first news struck. one of the theory is that israel wants to live up to it knows their leader is only in the water since. the same day at five o'clock on the missile that hit the hospital they called me we were. larger than the first for
8:12 am
the time. to go as a press release the hospital made an emergency appeal for support and got an unexpected response pro palestinian international activists sitting in as human shields inside the hospital is really doesn't care too much about palestinian lives so it has to be somebody from the outside world somebody from the western world they believe their presence protects the hospital claiming that israel will take measures to make certain that foreigners are not among casualties my presence here is more valuable for. for the international community in the sense that this world cannot hurt me striking the hospital represents a significant low point in this most recent israel hamas escalation the third of its kind in the last several years but if it's all civilian objects is a grave breach of the geneva convention. and might amount to war crimes on the
8:13 am
international force because have even. a greater level of protection but for example with thousands while we were filming at the hospital an airstrike took place just a couple of hundred meters from where we were standing we ran for cover it's a measure of how dangerous this place is that even vulnerable patients find themselves at risk. most of the casualties arriving in gaza hospitals a still no incompetence on the health service is almost a breaking point with stuff having to work around the clock carry fish. past few days i've also seen a growing number of rockets being fired into israel by hamas from as many as four of its neighbors as well some residential areas have been hit by rockets from gaza two missiles were launched from lebanon during the night then several rockets were fired from syria landing in the golan heights four people were then wounded in an
8:14 am
airstrike targeting the city of a lot which israel blames on egyptian extremists. meanwhile palestinians living in israeli occupied territories in the west bank are venting their anger going head to head with the i.d.f. . the i.d.f. backed by armored vehicles disperse crowds of palestinians they used tear gas and stun grenades to quell hundreds of people gathered in the city of bethlehem in the west bank to protest against israeli military occupation there are reports that several people were wounded during the rally. more news still to come on that after this short break stay with us on r.t. international. language to. react to situations. reports. no i will leave it to the states to comment on you.

8:17 am
the sounds of the to read day and night and even write and now in. tanks mortars and multiple rocket launchers known as get out all hail i used and to government forces to say that degraded troops are getting closer to the city center and they're now not further than ten to twenty kilometers from where we are now doctors are working twenty four seven and to see timor full death toll is continuing to rise from both sides although it is very hard to say so far how many people were killed because the clashes are on to go in and casualties among civilians population a roll so on a constant rise because residential area is often get heat we visited many scenes shortly after the shells landed there and the images we saw on the ground were really terrible some of them we cannot even show here and with all these escalation here in eastern ukraine obviously people continue to leave and they do not know when or if they will be able to come back

a multi-billion dollar financial why it's being forged in the brazilian city of fortaleza where the top five emerging nations known as the brics countries have been putting the finishing touches on a plan to create iraq for the i.m.f. and the world bank artie's venture capital host. the breaks will intensify their unity by finalizing the details on lifeline institutions the dust is the development bank this will rival the i.m.f. and the world bank and office to pull to the emerging economies brics member built on to be ten billion dollars to begin with and eventually the bric bank will be one hundred billion the second is the stabilization fund which will support the five economic powers in case of global turbulence sino will contribute to see one billion dollars the funds russia brazil and india will be gives eighteen billion.
8:19 am
with life that in the developing world now accounts for seventy five percent of the globe's currency. and in tight so the brics countries hold around four point five trillion dollars in exports earnings the financial crisis struck the world in two thousand and eight but the aftershocks are still being felt in today's europe their countries that thought they'd found a savior in the form of the i.m.f. loans are now criticizing the lender for holding them captive according to the i.m.f. bailout terms a boring country house to slashing jobs pensions wages and a change in labor laws all on the lender's when spain for example or store around a million people out of work more than half the country's young people are unemployed portugal still dealing with a banking crisis and shrinking g.d.p. and looking at greece after six years of recession the worst unemployment rate in the e.u. china expert andrew k.p. long thinks that this makes the brics an attractive alternative. the world is
8:20 am
shifting to a unique kind of order to a more multipolar a more inclusive perhaps the better it is. and they really just and the cost of regional kind of interests rather than be dictated by a one size fits all kind of formula. so i think that there was all the bric countries to play as a new law on data recording and surveillance goes before the british parliament calls from human rights campaigners are growing louder the bill comes following the european court of justice is decision to recognise the data gathered by intelligence services as imprinting on human rights after that ruling mobile phone companies got ready to delete data data collected something the u.k. government didn't want to happen take a closer look at the new legislation. critics
8:21 am
fear the new law will expand surveillance powers this time and place and the number dialed would all be kept by mobile operators plus the conversation itself would also be taked internet service providers would monitor and record pages that their clients visit and the information would be stored for up to a year this is britain's prime minister is urging an eight hundred extra eight hundred million pounds for monitoring operations but some experts doubt whether measures like this are necessary. 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 about what we've really seen from the last few years is that what i've been or you put down to monitor the amount you are surveyed by your own government they will go up to the absolute limits of what about your allowance they have convinced everybody that there is an emergency that the data simply not be available the police will not have the ability to get hold the data so it is a national security and emergency they believe it is not really true they will get
8:22 am
it through parliament i'm sure but what will happen is that we will take them to court other civil liberties organizations will take that cool again and what they will find is that they've got it wrong and they will be told to stop again we are turning now to some other stories making international headlines an explosion in afghanistan's eastern paktika province has killed more than eighty people after another deadly attack in the capital kabul which left two presidential media staff dead in a packed attack targeted a busy market during rush hour when a suicide bomber blew up his vehicle among crowds officials say most of the victims are women and children in one of the deadliest assaults on civilians in the recent months. iraqi troops of last another offensive to retake the city of tikrit that was the day when it was taken up by insurgency and the army operation to push militants from the islamic state out of tikrit started two weeks ago but became bogged down south of the city the bloody uprising spurred by the islamic state has already left thousands dead with islamist controlling vast areas of iraq.

libya considering calling for international military assistance to tackle the deteriorating security situation their country's main airport hit by multiple rockets late monday killing at least one reportedly destroying most of the planes on site clashes between rival militias to control the air hub started sunday violence between paramilitary units in libya has been rising since the fall of moammar gadhafi in twenty eleven. this is philip hammond britain's new foreign secretary having served as defense minister for years he now be replacing william hague who's overnight resignation came as something of a surprise so who is philip hammond as minister of defense and british media dubbed him mr boring he was an accountant put in place to sort out the cash black hole that had been the british military he also figured prominently in the headlines citing his hardline conservatism and apparent opposition to the rights of sexual minorities but most importantly publisher and political activist david lindsay
8:24 am
worries he's more ready for war than his predecessor very hawkish very bookish indeed even to bed william hague however the comment is not a particularly good record in the sense that he strongly opposed equally strongly to closed cuts in the defense budget but they happened anyways it doesn't seem to make a difference but he is very very you know and you can expect to see moral what would be many couldn't quite do in the kind of damage that he did do in respect of libya the media made much ado about what happens each use skeptic credentials phobia as you can see by the headlines here are widely known he says he would vote to leave the european union if a vote to do so ever came up though political writer john white things hammond is no loose cannon and a man of the prime minister can expect to do as he's told. the best way to describe hammond is to use a by one of them churchill who once described one of his political counterparts as
8:25 am
a more this man with much to be modest about and full of harmony will be. don't think he will challenge your comment on him your big issues and the policy issues and that's what david cameron in needs as he goes forward to the general election of two thousand and fifteen william hague want to subpoena from the spotlight though he'll stay on in parliament until all lections next year and for his legacy he'll be remembered for undoubtedly promoting many of the recent conflicts that the west has been engaged in we are now and our allies cannot determine the future of middle eastern countries or dictate who leads them but neither can we be bystanders our values and interests require us to be actively involved we have to confront something that is a war crime something that is a crime against humanity and if we don't do so then we will have to come from to even bigger war crimes in the future iran is ramping up its production of your raynier enrichment to levels for which it has no plausible civilian use but which
8:26 am
could easily and quickly become verted into weapons grade material but as hawkish and didn't find so many buyers william hague's most public failure was his inability to convince the british parliament to vote for war against syria that also torpedoed the u.s. plan for the country host of artie's going underground tells us what he thinks of hank legacy could it be foreign policy issues that he was involved in could it be to do with the election strategy of the cameron government he certainly had a very controversial record when it came to anything from ukraine to syria we must remember that william hague found to be lying to parliament about the ukrainian ghosted usually strings of statements he's been making about russia creating a new cold war of course that. must warm damascus at all costs. max kaiser coming out next with a warning on the dangers of relying on middle class shoppers to rescue economies kaiser report on our.
