it's possible that we might see more successful democratic experiment. live from moscow this is headlining tonight four children killed on a beach in gaza as israel returns to its sweeping blitz as palestinian deaths beyond two hundred. protests against the israeli offensive take hold worldwide meantime in britain designed with the b.b.c. which campaign is not giving the full picture of the conflict we talk to one of the protests that. the brics nations lay the ground to even up the world's financial influences is some of the most populated countries signed up to multi billion dollar cooperation. on from hijacking your email address to manipulating online
3:01 pm
poll of british intelligence that exposed u.b.s. range of spying tricks with shipping granted this out rights and legal. good evening it's eleven pm here in moscow my name is kevin i was in first and i was just mentioned news that four palestinian children have been killed on a beach in gaza resists rail resumes its operation as i explain this story to you please be warned we're going to be showing you some pictures from the aftermath we just got through which includes images of children who have been injured. ok well they were part of a bigger group apparently playing on the shore at the time where it's reported a bomb was fired from an israeli ship some of the injured children managed to hide in a nearby hotel that attack took place near where many foreign journalists are staying
3:02 pm
so help to give aid first aid to the children the children apparently were in a group that i thought we aged to around ten or eleven years old our reporter horrific reported so much but for us of late reached the area just for he was on assignment just a little bit away but we can catch up with him what more do we know about what's happened here we've just shown our viewers some unfortunately very graphic pictures but take us through what happened as you know it. yes indeed it's a shocking incident and we caught up with the funeral parade which was extremely enraged and significant in the gazan context surely this will affect tonight's escalation of violence and surely mass rockets will be particularly fierce tonight into israel this comes all as the death toll is now over two hundred and twenty palestinians again most of those are civilians and the casualties are over fifteen hundred as of late so just a few hours ago a couple of hours before the sunset this naval attack took place on garza's merino
3:03 pm
this is one of the most safest places in gaza it's right next to my hotel in gaza and one of the four palestinian children died literally right next to where i was having breakfast this morning i'm joined by iman who is a managing receptionist at the hotel the hotel just adjacent to garza's marina. iman what happened as you saw it firstly i. did see what happened then. they came to they was running you know skaven from the bomb and then one of them was all of them was. injured and one of them was. injured in this. in this blaze yes and the other one. his face was full of blood and his leg and his arm you know so then i called the ambulance to pick up them because i mean that is what was very bad so when i hear
3:04 pm
that one of them. on their way to that was put down yes indeed we got reports that least one of the palestinian children that this hotel had already been killed and the other three we believe died either on the way to a hospital or at a hospital it's not clear here why israel may have struck gaza's marina in broad daylight in front of dozens of international journalists at a hotel which is basically known as the journalists hotel during war time here for sure that garzon marina area at night is considered dangerous it's considered that civilians should not be in the area given the historical fact that palestinian militants have operated there at night but i went to say that the palestinian children were just playing on the beach twenty twenty meters from the marina perry thanks for the unfortunate update you got to bring us the appreciate it harry fear
3:05 pm
the reporting for you from gaza. while new to this came through just over an hour ago just after the news came through so it was still early days that i asked an i.d.f. representative about the deadly incident at the time he said he couldn't give me any specific details but for pushing israel towards tough military action i was just getting updated on this incident and i have seen some of the footage 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 you all are hitting these people who 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 hamas for such a long time now hamas hasn't changed what it's doing you haven't changed what you. doing it right no i and the other way other than the carnage did to get through this you know the idea is devoted and we are charged with defending the state of israel and in a reality where a huge bombardment where over a thousand four hundred rockets have been launched at the state of israel it's
3:06 pm
a reality nobody would agree to and nobody would commit and that is we are the responsible force to try and defend and stop that from happening though the government and indeed ordered us to stop yesterday to let hamas calm down to calm the situation deescalate the situation but unfortunately they chose a different path they chose this path of aggression. the civilian death toll is noticeably climbed in palestine in just a day after israel resumed its military offensive two hundred sixteen palestinians have now been killed the majority nor militants for its part israel sustained its first casualty just several hours after accepting the truce of volunteer help in the i.d.f. was killed there. meantime people around the world of showing the disapproval of the violence palestinian rallies were held as far afield as south america and india in a number of british cities to campaigners run it outside b.b.c. buildings the broadcaster to protest against their coverage of the israeli military
3:07 pm
operation one of the activists told me why he thinks the b.b.c. is biased against the palestinians plight. a problem that we've got with the b.b.c. is that three teenagers in israel were killed media coverage that was given at the time and this isn't only just within the last few weeks this is been happening for the last you know thirty thirty years forty years however long i can remember it but the b.b.c. have gone out there they've patrolled the death of three israeli teenagers out there you know it's a big story but as soon as the palestinian kid is killed you know within the last few weeks we haven't heard about them seven palestinian kids are being killed and this is our complaint to b.b.c. and we ask for fair and unbiased platform we asked for the story to be told as it is. not all the rallies went peacefully this is the scene in paris supporters of israel clashing with the protesters and as you can see on this video the attack is
3:08 pm
used whatever was at hand weapons chairs metal bar sticks even not all the rampage took place in a police office is to seem to know what was arrested there. we invite you to get to a few more perspectives on the events in gaza are interviews cross talk showing throughout the day with people of l. b take a look at the last sixty five years it's pretty clear that israel is intending to continue to barmah destroy as much as possible in gaza i think it would have been a eve to expect the cease fire would these talks would lead to anything since we have seen on one hand who works for the israelis or the americans and we have even ateneo really has no motivation no intention to stop terrorizing and stop this brutal violence against. the palestinians in gaza. always on the part of a conversation pete is here in fact just a bit over twenty minutes time tonight under a billion dollar development backspin established by the world's top five emerging

3:11 pm
is reportedly now returning a military intelligence base now than a back to moscow president putin was in the country few days ago during this trip this summit to russia use the facility in two. twenty two thousand and one rather but it was shut down under pressure from us congress for decades raiders at the base helped intercept signals in the americas russia now wants to reopen that facility movie seen by experts to strengthen the strategic cooperation with cuba and that was of course just one of the many deals discussed and signed off in latin america professor ian show earlier from the gentle school of international affairs where the brics nations will soon grow out of their underdog status he thinks bits of be philosophical to you and it's going to also reduce the power of the new liberal institution of the washington consensus you're looking now at a bricks consensus is a totally different world give you got the ball a multiple of water we have become bullets john is the world's largest order it's
3:12 pm
head of the world bank individual and now brits together i think we're going to change this whole get a pretty good dollar receive you and all of you are going to be in and we're looking even if you were we cannot call the shots in the economy are you going to lead in politics of insecurity. thanks be with us in a couple of minutes will tell you whether washington might go it alone and impose unilateral sanctions on russia that's one amongst many more stories we're covering here tonight. this is about making the business survive. corporations don't love your parishioners told hate corporations have no feeling.
3:13 pm
corporations don't care about you or me corporations only care about profit. people come to untouched forests and leave massive bleeds for the state come on. we're not going to quit we will not stop until it is done what is more precious music more movie. hello again the u.s. could be lauding up a unilateral sanctions against russia washington's thought to be considering the move because of europe's hesitation in backing the restrictions going to church
3:14 pm
account reports. the u.s. is trying to isolate russia economically by working to get europe to agree on six toral sanctions against russia but here the u.s. may be facing the risk of isolating itself as european leaders meet to discuss this word is that at least nine european countries are prepared to block victorio sanctions including germany france and austria one 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 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're considering unilateral sanctions against russia that is to increase pressure on europe first of all we don't know exactly what unilateral sanctions the u.s.
3:15 pm
is considering but there may be several outcomes save the sanctions are unilateral and europe does not go go along then they put u.s. business is that a disadvantage because many of the services and technology is the u.s. companies sell european companies have and sell 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 strong 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. washington correspondent there. moscow is marking a day of mourning after the worst accident to have taken place in the cities metro system twenty three people died after a train derailed at high speed on tuesday around one hundred forty are still in hospital tonight dozens are in intensive care even this is how the tragedy unfolded that train traveling along one of the lines in the west of the capital it almost
