talk to me. israel returns to its sweeping blitz on guards around for a cease fire plan full flat with palestinian deaths quickly surging beyond two hundred. protests against the israeli offensive take hold worldwide in london resigned with the b.b.c. which campaigners say is not giving the full picture of the conflict we talked to one of the protesters. coming up to the brics nations lay the ground to even up the world's financial influences as some of the most populated countries signed up to a multi-billion dollar cooperation deal. from hijacking your email address to

manipulating online poll of british intelligence is exposed dubious range of spying tricks which are big granted it out right in legal. it's eight pm here in moscow when i was kevin owen you with the international very good evening from me first in this israel's intensified its anti terrorist operation in gaza following a failed ceasefire agreement proposed by egypt both sides still claim their missile volley is solely in self-defense a fresh series of strikes targeted senior hamas leaders but it's the civilian death toll that's most notably climbed two hundred five palestinians have now been killed the majority known militants israel sustained it first fatality just several hours after accepting the truce volunteer help of the i.d.f. was killed. the latest pictures released by hamas meantime the red circles

allegedly showing where their rockets hit israeli targets. i didn't stop its attacks on tuesday conducting some fifty launches despite israel initially agreeing to the cease fire and hold fire for them. both sides claim their military action is their own soul is protecting their citizens. the more people around the world are showing the disapproval of violence pro palestinian rallies were held as far afield to south africa and india in london activists protest against the b.b.c.'s coverage of the israeli military operation outside caused as h.q. we spoke to a marine a part of the demonstration she told us the b.b.c. she thinks it's failed to provide a balanced background to the conflict. between monitoring the news coverage of what's been happening in gaza and in all of the coverage so far the way it's been

reported as being a case of israel defending itself against rockets which are you know keeping fired into israel i don't what hasn't been mentioned once is that israel holds garza under occupation and holds cars under siege and that the palestinians in gaza are mostly refugee population they have no army air force or navy with which to fund themselves against israel and israel is the fruit largest military power in the world so all of that background is missing or that context is missing and by leaving out by meeting those final facts b.b.c. is able to see its entire coverage and present it as israel being under threat from the palestinians. we want you to get a few perspectives on the events in gaza into those cross talk with people of well . be take a look at the last sixty five years it's pretty clear that israel is intending to continue to bomb and destroy as much as possible in gaza i think it would have been aved to expect the cease fire would these talks would lead to anything since we

have on one hand who works for the israelis or the americans and we have units and you know really has no motivation no intention to stop terrorizing and stop this brutal violence against. the palestinians in gaza a. hundred billion dollar development bags but established by the world's top five emerging nations the deal was signed at the bric summit in brazil where leaders agreed to align their efforts to try to move away from the west financial dominance paul scholes at the gathering for today's four ought. it's been a productive tour for our russian president vladimir putin it all concludes later on wednesday with the ending of the brics summit here in brazil but putin is also meeting with the leaders of the south american community of nations this is their equivalent of the european union it represents twelve countries with a population of around four hundred million people and if you combine that with the three billion population represented by the five brics nations then putin has met

with world leaders representing around half of the globe's population on this whistle stop tour of latin america it all started in cuba last friday before an unannounced stop off in nicaragua then on to argentina and finally in brazil but what has been achieved during this breathless whistle stop tour well russia has agreed to write off ninety percent of cuba's soviet era debt the other ten percent will be reinvested in joint infrastructure projects there was also a symbolic meeting with former leader fidel castro in argentina the two countries signed a peaceful nuclear power a deal that will see russia help in areas such as design construction operation and decommissioning of power plants in rio in attended the world cup final and receive responsibility for the next competition the next tournament is in russia in two thousand and eighteen while at the bric summit here in force a laser the nation signed off on the long awaited one hundred billion dollars development bank which is being seen as a rival to the international monetary fund the world bank and the dominance of the

global dominance of the u.s. dollar this is on top of our other numerous trade deals so the whole toe may have taken less than awake the president putin no doubt hoping other the whistle stop tour of latin america has helped cement russian latin american ties. to for the laser there will asia times correspondent pepe escobar says the new brics financial institution will help the group build muscle. what we have in our days is the predominance of i call it casino capitalism in fact which is a speculative capitalism which you know hot money a traverse in the world digital speeds enormous that 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 all that vast meant towards productive capitalism now that they have this mechanism of

a developing bank and a contingency reserve a mechanism the can help all their countries up part from themselves in terms of infrastructure projects and sustainable development. side to this to the brics powerhouses have been given a multi billion dollar with two of the world trade organization ruling against the united states you want to read out more of what it's about dot com up. next this is the aftermath of an airstrike on the turn of snake in eastern ukraine one of the bombs fell in a block of flats causing it to partially collapse locals joined together with rescuers to try to help those that were trapped under the rubble. easy thing to do if you don't. use a mass. of others you will go to the front you are you are here it was before you

were much bigger. yeah. yeah yeah. but. i was just a little miracle the boy we can tell is now in hospital along with seven others but almost a dozen civilians were killed the government is denying responsibility saying this was the work of an unidentified jet but scenes like these repeated daily across the east fueling a refugee exodus. this refugee camp where i'm standing right now just twelve hours ago was about twenty. however the people running the camp decided to move it because it was not safe to be that close to the ukrainian border where the attacks where these stray or intentional shelling from mortars and artillery fire coming in

from ukrainian side actually has been increasing in recent days and force for people who are staying in these refugee camps that's just another addition to list of tragedies that have happened to them. uprooted driven out desperate these people have been flooding into the region by the past several weeks trying to escape the bloody war that has engulfed the southeast of ukraine this refugee camp is literally just several meters away from the ukrainian border so for people staying here war is still very much a part of daily routine they say recently the artillery fire at night has gotten closer and the memories of the bombardment back at home do not grow any less if it . i did not. know the children

may appear to be immune to the horrors happening in their homeland playing and carrying on as usual but once prodded they show deep emotional scars. just like. the. many who left their loved ones behind haven't heard from them for several days. but. scott. says refugee camps are simply temporary ports for these people who have to find new jobs new houses new ways to live not because they didn't like the lives they had but because they were denied those by census fighting in a r.t. . region. try and cross the border this is the

see in the west ukrainian city of turning up all the mothers and wives of reservists have been protesting about their loved ones being called up to fight in the east it was also a similar protest in kiev to soldiers mothers called on their government to let their sons come home and the troops in the east of already completed their two duty but aren't being allowed to return because of a lack of recruits. right back to our top story now the ongoing israeli gaza conflict we've got peter lerner on the line he's from the i.d.f. let's talk to him briefly should we so mr learn a thanks for being with us you live on r.t. international we appreciate your time. wanted to put to have significantly more palestinians than and that israelis have been injured or killed in this operation mainly civilians what is your view on that what's the israeli view on this as you see so many civilians death has gone past two hundred now in gaza

in the idea for peroration is ongoing in order to restore safety and security for the state of israel hamas decided to have an onslaught against against the state of israel and indeed even when we held our stations yesterday for six hours they continued to bombard israel. indiscriminately and we were left basically with no alternative. but it isn't kind of fighting like for like is it i'm sure you're taking no pleasure in this at all not for me and my suggesting that but you've got and i and most of your. residence in israel got somewhere to hide to that's not the case. it's kind of not fighting like for like is it should you not have held back a bit more to try and maybe negotiate a bit more. well indeed how must showed no wilno intentions and showed quite the opposite israel was basically sitting on the sidelines we were in standby for six hours and indeed they could they bombarded us

and and did not show any sign of any intentions to stop that so ultimately that the prime minister the defense minister ordered the military to continue the military operation which we have begun some nine days ago indeed this is actually the second time that israel has urged hamas to try and deescalate the situation but every time as we've seen they have gone on the offensive rather than trying to calm things down and have you made mistakes have you hit the wrong people the wrong places when you say you're targeting. places where militants are but we've just heard for instance the past couple of hours four children have been killed on a beach did you target them deliberately. we do not shoot the target and unaware any way or form or civilians we target hamas terrorists i was just getting updated on this incident and i'm seeing some of the research coming out of it indeed it does look tragic and we will have to look into

the circumstances of what it was i don't have any answers at the moment. i know that she say before you launch the bombardment the discipline ramped up today that she will always give the people of gaza a fair warning to run to get out where they supposed to go. well you know how us over the past two years has built a lower gaza meaning everything is beneath the towns of the gaza strip is dug into say advanced network of tunnels which from there they launch supply and maintain the terrorist actions for the rockets and everything they've been hurling out over the last nine days so in these in these nine days what we are trying to do now is trying to deal with those rockets that are being launched at us from the residential areas from with the schools from the mosque from the from the courtyard of the mosque and and from the civilian area aerial indeed it is

a extremely difficult task and we've urged the civilians to. vacate the area so that the i.d.f. can operate against hamas and its terrorist infrastructure rather than tit for tat there's thing that's going on and shouldn't should be the bigger people here and stand back and say hey look just stop the shooting to set these missiles of often times they're not a superior as yours why are you hitting back as you are here the vast majority of people there are young people as it was a large proportion of people in gaza that under forty. you know we have no nothing really bad with the people of gaza. our problem is with the terrorist organization hamas which is running things and choosing each time but you're hitting those of aggression upon is there no other way to do they're not easy and yesterday we stood on the sidelines and we did take it. sorry sir to

interrupt but i'm saying you are hitting these people you may not have nothing against them but it's such a densely populated area there must be a better way to do this you've been fighting with a mask for such a long time now hamas hasn't changed what it's doing you haven't changed what you're doing is rendered any other way other than the carnage to get through this it doesn't help i must add as well just to show our viewers are missing on twitter israelis it's kind of not saying that israelis are enjoying this for one minute i know they're not we was seeing selfies on twitter of israelis going hey look at us we're in our rather nice shelters underneath we feel safe doesn't help matters and you can't you can't legislate for these people but i just wonder whether it's time you took the bigger hand here where you stood back as a country and tried to negotiate things differently don't you think i'm sure you're not implying that a country stops defending its civilians so that terrorist organization can hide behind its civilians while it attacks us the i.d.f. is devoted and we are charged with defending the state of israel and in the reality

of a huge bombardment where over a thousand four hundred rockets have been launched at the state of israel it's a reality nobody would agree to a nobody would commit and that is we are the responsible force to try and defend and stop that from happening the government and indeed ordered us to stop yesterday to let hamas calm down calm the situation deescalate the situation but unfortunately they chose a different path they chose this path of aggression need to learn from the idea thanks for making a position clear and thank you too for taking the time that they are not the international appreciate it. more news from martin to national after the break it's now seventeen and a half minutes past eight moscow time.

this is about making the business survive. corporations don't love for parishioners told. corporations have no feeling. corporations don't care about you or me corporations only care about profit. people come to untouched forests and leave massive bleeds for the sea come on. we're not going to quit we will not stop until it is done what is more precious music more movie. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear an iraq story. same time there's a reason they don't want you to now. that we should be completely outraged now

let's break the set. hello again the u.s. could be lining up unilateral sanctions against russia washington is thought to be considering the move because of europe's hesitation in backing new sanctions let's go straight to the united states capitol gun and she comes there is it likely that washington will go it alone. kevin is possible to put more pressure on europe the u.s. is trying to isolate russia economically by working to get europe to agree on sic toral sanctions against russia but here the u.s. may be facing the risk of isolating itself we as european leaders need to discuss this word is that at least nine european countries are prepared to block six toral sanctions including germany france and austria for a long source said they might agree on

a modest expansion of sanctions but are definitely not prepared to cut their multibillion dollar partnership and trade with russia thousands of european companies are doing business with russia and the jobs of hundreds of thousands of people could be on the line the decision on sanctions would have to be unanimous to pass and that kind of unanimity seems unlikely u.s. officials know this of course and yet the obama administration says they are considering the unilateral sanctions against russia that is to increase pressure on europe but first of all we don't know exactly what unilateral sanctions the u.s. is considering but there may be several outcomes if the sanctions are unilateral and europe doesn't go along then they put u.s. business is that a disadvantage because many of the services and technologies the u.s. companies sell european companies having this way the u.s. isolates itself from a lot of business that could be done but if the u.s. exerts enough pressure on europe to go ahead with the stronger sanctions against

russia then u.s. businesses get a competitive advantage especially u.s. energy companies so this could be more about business than we think are going to come across. thank you for that update. moscow is marking a day of mourning after the worst disaster in the cities metro system twenty three people died after a train derailed at high speed around two hundred forty remain in hospital dozens are in intensive care this is how the tragedy unfolded the train traveling along one of the lines in the west of the capital it almost reached top speed then suddenly the emergency brakes were activated the first three carriages then piled up one on another blocking the tunnel it happened two hundred meters from the next stop medics rushed to the scene as quick as they could broken bones severe head wounds were what greeted them first the emergency services set to work pulling out

those trapped eighty meters below ground in all those mangled carriages volunteers did their best to help with the care of the injured that above ground helicopters and dozens of ambulances took people to hospital for several hours nonstop under a zenin witnessed the tragedy. then you can see a thing you know 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 the people were hysterical we started to get out we saw a door in the tunnel wall it men eventually broke that door and we saw workers constructing a parallel town they helped us to get out used to metro employees now have been detained in connection with the crash investigators suspect their negligence may have led to the accident mentioned this was the worst tragedy on the ground in the moscow metro eighty year history the reward of a clock but looking at some of the other incidents in two thousand and five more than fifty stations were left without electricity on a swelteringly hot day

a year later a construction damaged a tunnel shut passengers in a passing train as it would last summer nearly five thousand people were evacuated from one of the busiest transit points in the system because of fire station next to red square and earlier this year the foundations of a construction site above penetrated into an underground tunnel luckily again there no one was injured we got more details we've got more pictures now eyewitness accounts on the moscow metro derailment on our website r.t. dot com while you're there to you might want to check these. nurses defying orders in guantanamo prison if you've been following this story refusing now to forcefeed detainee's it's reportedly the first case of medical staff protesting against the method which human rights groups labeled as torture and inhumane a covering that also get a lot of clicks this these pictures can't believe it's happening really look at this reckless road rage in moscow check out this story this heartless driver ran down an elderly man with only stop to check with damage others when we're on this.

shocking. right to see. first street. and i think that you're. spying is obviously a devious business but there's a code of honor or so we thought british intelligence is now being revealed to have a range of tricks and tools that would make even james bond's q. blush apparently and all of them are aimed at cyber snooping let's take a look then when it comes to social networking apparently they can look at your private photos or maybe that's no big surprised if they don't like what they see they can disable your facebook account overnight maybe you didn't know that chatting with your friends and relatives well g c h q agents can listen in on your

conversations even read your messages personally and peruse your contact list to no end to it is there or they might want to hijack your email address and use it to send messages themselves how much you spend on e bay and what online polls you've participated in that's also visible to the agents if they want to see it and they can even manipulate the results of that voting is sarah for. emplacing page he can't speak think email addresses and manipulating online polls these are just some of the tools and tactics it's been alleged that he they using google quite eccentric code names angry pirates a tool that will permanently disable a target's account on their computer now there's more than one hundred projects in the listing for g c excuse joint threat research intelligence group now in a statement to r.t. he say that they are not at fault let's take a look at what they said all of g c h q was work is carried out in accordance with

a strict legal and policy framework which ensures that our two beauties are authorised necessary and proportionate despite what he has say campaigners are saying that if true the allegations are extremely serious a huge deal because again it used to say if you're actually being involved in propaganda and trying to manipulate the debate that's not what they're for that to protect those they're for national security not to read online polls either way the latest lake is certainly reignited the calls the further oversight g.c.a. 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 r.t. reporting from london had for most abuse here a bit more to break he was certified over the current humanitarian crisis only us mexico border.

what's really good folks i'm an old up alone filling in for abby martin and this is breaking the set so four hundred billion dollars can sure buy a lot of things these days right like feeding every school kid in america fighting every global humanitarian crisis and rebuilding this country's entire infrastructure but apparently one thing it can't buy is a funk it's a fully functional fighter jet ski for the last eight years u.s. taxpayers have spent a whopping three hundred ninety eight billion dollars on a fleet of f. thirty five joint strike fighters the next generation of lethal military planes the only problem however is that over the years the development and construction of this plane has turned into the poster child for military waste not only is the program seven years behind schedule but it's basically ins and billions of dollars over budget and is now expected to cost over one trillion dollars over the course of the next five decades. but hey at least we have a plane that will spread american freedom across the world skies right actually no

it turns out the department of defense still has isn't sure if the heap of metal is even safe to fly so the f. thirty five was supposed to make its long awaited debut at the former international air show in england this week but thanks to a mysterious engine fire last month the plane was grounded now just today officials did clear the plane for flight although the cause of the engine fire is still unknown and the plane will not be airborne in time for the show think progress still only points out that with the amount of money the military has spent on this outrageous boondoggle taxpayers could have bought six hundred and sixty four thousand dollars house for every homeless person in the country but hey since this plane's natural habitat is the ground maybe we can turn these f. thirty five thousand homeless shelters instead now well it's just a thought let's break this up.
