israel returns to its sweeping blitz of guard as the cease fire plan falls flat and hamas rockets kill the first israeli since the conflict began. a day of mourning in moscow as emergency crews removed the twisted wreckage of three carriages with the rails in the capital's metro system killing twenty two people dozens remain in a critical condition. and bric nations lay down a challenge to the west by growing a new global development bank and an internet of mass surveillance plus british intelligence about to get legal backing to monitor private citizens as an emergency law goes before parliament whistleblower edward snowden says it's

a step too far. i welcome it's nice to have you company with r.t. international. will pay the price for refusing to accept an egyptian brokered cease fire that is the message from israel is that regimes its heavy bombardment of gaza the palestinian death toll has now risen to almost two hundred and tens of thousands of residents in northern and eastern gaza were urged to leave their homes by the israeli military on wednesday morning in apparent warning of more airstrikes their fear reports from gaza for. egypt sefer its to facilitate a ceasefire barely got off the starting block israel formally accepted the proposal but hamas continued firing dozens of rockets saying that its terms were no match

the islamic resistance movement says it never received any direct contact about a ceasefire and only so media reports they accuses egypt of sidelining it all the while in the middle of this truly asymmetric conflict between israel's advanced coordinated modern military and the palestinians disparate militant groups are the civilians on the receiving end even those in gaza's hospitals five rockets targeted this hospital in north gaza but palestinians also have the crude rockets which are not targeted on a five indiscriminately into israel not all but certainly most palestinians in gaza believe the hundreds of these crude rockets should be fired into israel in retaliation for israel's targeting of gaza. the imbalance is evident over one hundred palestinian civilians have been killed in eight days compared to one israeli civilian there are no bomb shelters in gaza although the desire for

a cease fire is universal how people here want that achieved is certainly not clear . how much they don't want now that's a big now and a subtle. i'm all of the way with the meal i thought we ever had the love of money how to handle. the having midnight what are you as i'm a lot funny an. eighteen year old sees things very differently a palestinian student from northern gaza his brother is a militant with hamas as armed wing. for. using methods would probably be a serious concern for lawyers and for human rights workers and they

might proceed to serious violations of international law. a university lecturer and father of eight has lived through four such as ready operations since two thousand and six he's torn over garza's rocket firings rocket it's only just a tool that the palestinian can react to what gets me. in killing and suffering for everybody i really do care about my children about my family about the safety of my family so i don't like the rockets but sometimes the people obliged to do use what's available to them in order to. act in order to resist the occupation. but both sides in this escalation insist they're acting in self-defense and neither is known for wanting to be the first to back

down no matter what the pressure at home or abroad carry fear r.t. gaza and these are the latest pictures released by hamas the red circle their apparent highlighting a rocket that is hit an israeli target. were richard didn't stop its attacks rejecting the truce that was proposed by egypt and later accepted by israel tensions grew even higher when he became the first israeli fatality in over a week of fighting. well on tuesday israel's foreign minister known for his hawkish views called for the country to go all the way he vowed the offensive would only end when the i.d.f. gained full control of gaza adding that it is the only way of dealing with hamas and islamic jihad terror remark people around the world have shown their disapproval views rarely operation here are the latest pictures from places as far as the world is south america and europe pro palestinian demonstrations are held on

an almost daily basis and they are calling for an end to the offensive labeling it a massacre and a war crime. i mean while the latest on the crisis in eastern ukraine is still to come here on r.t. international. here is in the region reeling from deadly artillery attacks by kiev's forces all fueling a refugee exodus in the. russian capital is observing a day of mourning after the worst crash in the history of the moscow metro twenty two people were killed and around one hundred thirty taken to hospital on tuesday dozens of them remain in intensive care emergency workers are still at the scene they just started removing the wreckage after recovering bodies trapped in the mangled carriages artie's medina court has more now on how the tragedy unfolded.

on one of the world's most havoline used transit systems the morning rush hour a routine for many of the eight million people who use this network after a day than just before nine am on the train traveling at its fool speed of seventy kilometers per hour the emergency brakes activates. the train stopped abruptly and the only blacked out then i realized that was suffocating i've never felt more scared in my life there was a horrible panic the first three carriages salaam together forcing the train off the track no one inside who was prepared for impact. everyone was shocked we were all in panic there was simply nothing left from the first met just a huge dent. eyewitnesses recall being suddenly plunged into darkness and smoke appearing stunned passengers found themselves trapped eighty meters below ground in

the matter of deepest section so. i was thrown into the air there was blood on the floor heads bruised some people had broken ribs and one person's arm was injured all in all people were hysterical we started to get out we saw a door in the tunnel wall men eventually broke that door and we saw workers constructing a parallel tunnel they helped us to get out of. this scene here right after the accident looked completely chaotic rescue helicopters flying in the ear and couple dozen ambulances police but mostly people looking scared and shocked after managing to escape from the underground the victims say emergency teams were there in less than twenty minutes asked people made their way to safety through the dark tunnels rescuers who worked to reach those still trapped within the wreckage. everyone was helping each other i wouldn't say that about time anybody was

panicking we tried to carry those injured really gently carrying them on our backs of our point everything was good. and strong quite a long time down there when we got to the elevator it was being used to evacuate injured people first those who could walk and then those whose trashers it wasn't until later that someone short as a stairway which you had to climb ourselves. more than eleven hundred people were evacuated from the crash site over one hundred hospitalized doesn't separate actually it will take at least two days to restore services on this busy commuter line and it will take a longer to get an answer as to how a section of railway just a decade old could be the scene of such a deadly accident my gosh there are eighty moscow there are several theories on what caused the tragedy but investigators have ruled out an act of terror and i focusing on track or carriage defects. the moscow metro system is one of the

busiest in the world and has seen a lot in its near eighty year history early this year the foundations from a building above fell through into the metro you can see the large concrete blocks poking through here luckily no one was injured and the summer of two thousand and thirteen nearly five thousand people were evacuated from this station near red square because of an electrical fire and the most tragic incident in the metros history was four years ago two bomb blasts within minutes of each other claimed more than forty lives another eighty eight people were injured in the terror attack the metro's worst breakdown happened in two thousand and five a power outage left over fifty stations with that electricity on one of the hottest days of the year. british intelligence has a wide diversity of tools for cyber spying and data manipulation that's what's been revealed in a document recently leaked by whistleblower edward snowden social network accounts

are no longer private agents can access data even hidden and disable the page if they find it suspicious how they can even tap into skype calls and use private e-mail to send spoof letters and how much you spend on e-bay or what online polls you hard part have participated in all of this is also visible to the agents and they can even manipulate the results of the voting sarah firth spoke to campaign is this see such practice is deeply illegal. there's more than one hundred projects in the listing the g.c. excuse joint threat we search intelligence group they've all got quite eccentric names angry pirates a tool that will permanently disable a target's account on their computer now in a statement to r.t. he say that they are not full well despite what. campaigners are saying that if true the allegations are extremely serious if this is true and have proven to be

true it's a huge deal there's a good news to see if you're actually being involved in propaganda and trying to manipulate their brains and that's not the best for their protectors they're for national security not to read online polls either way the latest can certainly be reignited the calls the further oversight. activities it's an argument that we've heard many times before and it's not one that's looking likely to quieten down any time soon so. reporting from london meanwhile the british government is far from asking the intelligence community to limit their powers the new security door that has been already approved by the house of commons will further expand monitoring capability making mobile companies keep customers private data for up to twelve months twenty causing an investigative journalist says the government is interested in watching everyone. well it's certainly not going to protect citizens what what how on earth can you protect british citizens by eroding our civil liberties and we just had an announcement this week from david cameron the spend one billion pounds

before the violence so rather than running back who said norma's industry which is out of control he's actually want to spend more money on surveillance i've been doing this in concert with the n.s.a. for so many years now that companies like google twitter microsoft facebook are actually almost part of that surveillance system not interested anymore in going to because in order to ask a judge if they want to put somebody under surveillance they just assume that everybody is under surveillance. russian and u.s. ambassadors to the u.n. show that even in high level diplomacy there's always room for a little sarcasm we have a look at who had the last word in the spot between the envoys and later in the program also to become a human rights or a company californian activist demand that big business stop taking water taken from dr tate.

but he's also set to meet with the leaders of the south american community of nations that's their equivalents of the european union he's going to meet with the leaders of bolivia uruguay and venezuela for example amongst many others that these countries their populations equate to around four hundred million people if you combine that with the three billion people represented by the five brics countries the president vladimir putin has met with the ladies representing over half of the world's population on his latin america tour it all started the breathless talk on friday with a visit to cuba he then of course went with an unannounced visit to nicaragua before stopping off in argentina and then finally in brazil bricks summit here in force a laser hosted by brazilian president dilma rousseff who you may remember was a victim of n.s.a. surveillance revealed by edward snowden around twelve months ago now ever since then she's been championing for change to the internet on the way that it's governed in order to protect people's privacy well earlier i managed to ask

a question i asked her what changes she would like to see and what changes we have seen in the last twelve months now she told me the privacy is a fundamental civil right she also says that common laws should be extended to the net and they should be extended to web use reset doesn't believe that one country has the right to lead the way when it comes to internet governance and she feels that each country should have the right to its own governance to ensure privacy where we are the halfway stage of the brics summit here in forty lays out what exactly has been achieved well rushed. agree to write off ninety percent of cuba's soviet era debts the remaining ten percent will be reinvested in joint infrastructure projects in the country it was also a symbolic meeting with formally to fidel castro in argentina the two countries signed a peaceful nuclear power deal that will see russia help in areas such as design construction operation and decommissioning of nuclear power plants in rio president putin attended the football world cup final and received responsibility for the next competition the tournament is in russia in two thousand and eighteen one of

the bric summit the nation signed off on a long awaited one hundred billion dollars development bank seen as a rival to the i.m.f. world bank and global dominance of the u.s. dollar they say on top of numerous trade deals. so it may have taken less than awake but president vladimir putin no doubt hoping that his whistle stop tour will cement russia latin america ties. well i said times correspondent pepe escobar says the new brics financial institution will create sustainable development for its members. what we have in our days is the predominance of i call it the casino capitalism in fact which is a speculative capitalism which you know hawks money a traverse in the world digital speeds enormous and this has nothing to do with productive investment and sustainable development what the bricks are the bricks are trying to steer the debate and in fact the conditions of.

investment towards productive capitalism now that they have this mechanism of a developing bank and the thieves in c. reserve a mechanism the can help all their countries up part from themselves in terms of infrastructure projects and sustainable developments. global diplomacy has seen a shift away from its classic dry languages russia's ambassador to the u.n. batali talking how to watch me back and forth with his american counterpart portnoy i found out who had the last word in this high profile. the russian and american ambassadors to the united nations usually keep their negotiations and debates within the chambers of the world body headquarters however a tit for tat between the two diplomats is currently playing out in the public domain sparked by something written in the pages of

a glossy magazine the august issue of vanity fair features an article on samantha power in which she strikes a bit of verbal jabs against her russian counterpart here's the contacts the reporter says he reminded miss power that ambassador vitaly churkin jokingly asked her if she'd join the russian punk group chrissy riot after she met with the two famous band members and bassett or power says she told mr churkin that their first concert stop on tour would be where russia holds its political prisoners the. aggressively she can't sing the u.s. envoy claims she got the last word in that conversation saying it's what passes as a small victory oh if only the verbal jabs and snarky ended there it doesn't in a statement posted on facebook ambassador churkin says while it did stoke his vanity to see himself referenced in the article he found hours pussy riot tore stop comment to be rather lame saying quote they never performed in guantanamo after all

ouch a reference to america's biggest stain on international law and human rights violations ambassador churkin also sets the record straight saying quote i called samantha and explained to her that russia did not have any political prisoners she seemed to be amused and promised to get back to me on this she never did unquote ambassador churkin claims that miss power told him he got the upper hand in that exchange but he says he will claim it as a small victory hopefully when the two diplomats meet once again face to face at the u.n. there will be no hard feelings and the debates can go back to revolve around issues such as creating more peace and less conflict. in new york. where we've got more stories here at r.t. don't call me including the first medic to protest against kuantan and i force feeding find out on our web sot the story of the stands up the detainees rights to hunger strike also online meet

other uses in the local area by this water is bottled it's put on trucks it's shipped out of the community well you know it's water that's not available for the local community so it's increasing a source of tension in concert in the area of water in the desert is very rare and this is an example where perhaps we should question the value of putting a bottled water plant in the desert. ok up next we got going bust on our team tonight. well for. science technology innovation all these developments from around russia we've got this huge earth covered.

the. economic downturn in the final months they belong to the deal shanghai and the rest because i was doing the takes you believe it briefly. despite all the democracy slogans that reference from the white house and you'll seem to believe that deep down the u.s. administration has a sort of a cultural bias towards iraq believing that arabs or iraqis on simply not capable of democracy in the middle east is that it's been the site for multiple competitions by great powers and empires no real ability to consolidate legitimate nation states except under military dictatorships i think if these parts of the
