picture today. from roads to. drop to. thousands of palestinians in the west bank vent their anger at israel in the largest protest against the ongoing garza offensive which has killed more than eight hundred people. an eyewitness says a british journalist working for r.t. was beaten and tortured by ukrainian soldiers amid growing calls for his release. and political deadlock made an ailing economy ukraine's ruling coalition collapses and the prime minister resigned as the conflict in the east drags the country down .

a welcome it's good to have you company with r.t. international. ten thousand palestinian protesters took to the city of ramallah in the west bank to voice anger against israel's atrocities in garza it ended in deadly clashes with israeli soldiers at a checkpoint. as many as six palestinians are reported to have been killed and over one hundred injured protesters threw stones molotov cocktails and fireworks that israeli soldiers who responded with tear gas and stun grenades this is been the largest and deadliest rally against israeli action in gaza more than eight hundred palestinians most of them civilians have died since the offensive began a recent israeli strike hit a un school in gaza packed with children fear is that. this complex was

struck directly or indirectly by israeli tank shells now it's not clear how why this facility this civilian object was targeted by the israeli military but no warning was given and the united nations has made clear in this past few hours that it has given israel historically and recently all of the g.p.s. coordinates and information pertaining to its facilities in the gaza strip in order to prevent this sort of tragedy from taking place we understand also schools were injured in this attack over the last couple of days we've seen extraordinary escalation of bombardment throughout the gaza strip not just the northern area but also the east particularly well israel's foreign ministry blames hammer asked for the fatalities in gaza they say that all timothy's should be investigated and i agree and i'll tell you what we're going to discover we're going to discover that israel has taken unprecedented steps in in a very difficult circumstance to minimise and to avoid civilian casualties and

we're going to discover that hamas evil machine with a killer strategy. is perpetrating war crime of the war crime of the war crime and that's what we're going to discover you say that israel is doing all it can to minimize civilian casualties are you doing enough for boys killed in a bitch we're hearing about civilians being killed every single day. he said appear to be considered also quietly diplomatic channels will be all sort of quiet comedy responded to with this message was injected out of heads have been three ceasefire proposals one by the gypsum is run by the united nations one by the international committee for the red cross all three be accepted on condition you mean for me to then all three of which with and with the because they couldn't care less execute the mass rejected and violated i agree with you the this is a real tragedy the responsibility for which lies directly at the doorstep of hamas

but not all israelis support their army strategies across the border an ex i.d.f. commander danks bloodshed is the only means to achieve any progress i did three three years of service in two of them in the west bank during the second intifada and the things i've done and things i've seen in the way we treated palestinian civilians on the occupation was something that brought me to question the morality and whether we are actually standing up to our principles and what we think or what we want to be in all our relationship for things are not clear because if you look at the last few years every every two three years there is an operation there's just a serious of operations in gaza and everyone just led to the other end in breaking a science the one thing we're trying to ask is ok so where is this one taking us now is it again to the next operation two years down the road shouldn't we after all these operations that didn't work should we try to ask ourself you know maybe we should try to change our ways and how we deal with gaza. well the israeli

offensive in gaza has become a focal point of outrage among people all across the world these are the latest pic protests from new york protesters marched through the city demanding and then to american support for the offensive the event was one of many in the u.s. as a part of a national day of action against the killing of hundreds of palestinian civilians many american jews have also joined the rally strongly condemning israeli hostilities. and don't forget our web site has plenty of updates to you on the israeli palestinian conflict had their news pictures and witness accounts. a journalist working for r.t. has reportedly been beaten and tortured by ukrainian armed forces after being seized days ago with three colleagues are teetering the glue reports on the credibility of those claims. information about the beatings is coming from another journalist who was detained where the ground philips cameramen working for the news

agency we spoke to him as he was on his way to the hospital he was released by military on thursday and this is how he described what has happened to them. we were going. to film a group of men i followed and that's when we were ambushed. over our head. we were put in a car. firstly put in a kind of together but we were later separated started. screaming and i was screaming to horrible. they were trying to western ukraine. has mentioned they're both him and graham phillips along with two other journalists were actually near dinner airport extremely dangerous area scene of some of them will severe fighting over recent weeks overall of course the situation in the entire regions remains highly volatile as described by graham's friend ryan

mcdonald the other side ukrainian civil war taken a captive today what are they doing. talk to them. now this is not the first time graham has been detained by authorities his first run in with his officials was in may of this year when he was a danger to checkpoint by national guard and then transferred over to the ukraine security services overall of course ukraine remains one of the most in fact it is the most dangerous place for journalists specified by the international news safety institute seven journalists have been killed there just in the first half of this year a lot more primarily russians have been either detained or apprehended with no prita . they have not been let into the country and of course there's been a lot of international outcry on the subject matter and judging by the fact that

graham phillips along with several other journalists is still missing and his fate is largely unknown obviously the situation with journalists in ukraine remains wise to be desired meanwhile ukraine could be in for a third reboot the ruling coalition there has collapsed after two or three parties quit and the prime minister then announced his resignation lawmakers now have a month to form a new coalition otherwise there will be early elections and their weight is not likely to do you crane much good the collapse of the coalition cut short the passing of much needed laws to rescue the country's economy fighting in the east of the country could also find itself hit as the political deadlock chokes financing and all this could discourage the use support for kiev is a political science professor nicholai petro the one thing i think the political parties want to avoid that are currently there is being blamed for the price hikes the significant price hikes for utilities. are under water that are going to

coming in the pipeline first of all there will be political crisis which is just in and out while there is a political necessity as europe's as the e.u. sees it to support and disburse money into ukraine it will actually not do that indefinitely and the problem is ukraine is running out of money even for an army the money to pay the soldiers will run out next week. well hours before the prime minister's resignation ukraine's lower house voted to dissolve parliament but only after making it impossible for the communists to be part of the next one they were deemed to have not enough deputies to be represented in elections two years ago the communist secured thirteen percent of the vote well over two and a half million people voted for that some of its members lost their seats amid the political turmoil in the country and had twenty three deputies remaining when it was excluded the parliament speaker said getting rid of the party was in the

storage mission adding that he hoped there would never be another communist faction leader of the communist party call it a political lynching saying it was a crackdown on dissent political analyst says such a ban limits voters' rights. this is this is a completely complete suppression of the rights of the people of ukraine the people of ukraine should have the right to vote for the communist party and let's be clear that the communist party in the ukraine is not a small organization it's not a small isolated group it represents millions and millions of people in ukraine this is a suppression of democratic rights and in addition to you know this talk of a ban already you know members of the ukrainian parliament from the communist party have been you know on the floor of parliament fights are breaking out all the time that people are being suppressed and there's even a bill that's been drafted just banned the ukrainian prime minister tariq it would be in the ideology communism in ukraine. the bodies of more than half of those killed on board flight m.h. seventeen have now been taken to the netherlands the malaysian airliner came down

in eastern ukraine just over a week ago now being transported to a military base for examination and identification it's thought that not all the remains have been found yet and a special international team is being prepared to secure the crash site in the meantime investigators say they have managed to download flight data from one of the flight recorders and say it wasn't tampered with. failing to provide any solid backing for washington's evidence of who was behind the plane crash led to some pointed questions at thursday's state department briefing with journalists again calling for solid proof. i would like to know what you're basing this new evidence that the russians intend to send any heavier equipment based on some intelligence information i can't get into sources and methods behind it but i was able to be able to tell you that is there a youtube video or something that you could point us to that i mean you know

engines and i'm just wondering if you what what what it is i just said i wasn't going to give you the underlined source for me did you slightly out of love want me working it's not like you are sure i don't give you more information just saying that i think this sort of stuff and actually asked you a question here i can't give you the source or method would you prefer i not give you the information theory i think that it would be best for all concerned here in the other question here when you make an allegation like that you're able to back it up with something more than just because i say so while here says the malaysian airline it didn't very coarse before going down contradicting evidence provided by the russian defense ministry meanwhile i made conflicting claims and a lack of clear proof the media are stirring up talk of a new cold war jumping at any opportunity to point the finger gannett you can has this report. b.b.c. russian deleted an online report by their correspondent from eastern ukraine it was recorded by all good who went to the site where ukrainian intelligence says rebels

fired a missile at the malaysian airlines plane which she took the photo showing a rising plume of smoke which the ukrainian service provided as evidence of where the missile was launched guided fight at least two other potential sources of such a plume in the area including a coal mine nearby she also asked locals what they saw in the sky that day robs him of there were two explosions in the sky with there how the plane broke apart with pieces falling everywhere and they were seen as a military jet fly nea everyone saw it yes everyone saw it friendly too low the presenter plane. we heard explosions in the sky and then the plane suddenly turned around changed its flight path and headed their way. when the video was taken off the side many internet users were keen to know why the b.b.c. said the report did not live up to the editorial values of b.b.c. . some journalists have taken sides to the point that when the ukrainian president

said this ukrainian nation now are united we don't have any conflict inside ukrainian he was not picked up on it even as pictures and video pour in of war raging in the country's east. the us media is once again taking aim at argentine all your c.n.n. discuss this because you are the impact of russia's media machine for all the talk about propaganda which by definition is you know misinformation i don't think russia is winning this is chris cuomo an r.t.s. piddle of l became a you tube hit after a heated interview maybe you haven't been following it but the u.s. is actually coming out with a lot of its own intelligence are bad connection what happened i made seventeen to the acts of russian millet. and perhaps of the involvement of russia in either training equipping or maybe even assisting life when this is what a horrible operation frantically and so are you talking about what what forensic

evidence are you referring to. very or release intelligence information about the trajectory no not twitter i do not think peter this is something to be flip about two hundred ninety eight people lost their lives let's not i think they want to say declaring isn't there anyone is going to come in they're out there we slip into a narrative is being pushed in the media that clearly spells cold war to. the russian president is the fight on the covers of major magazines and newspapers is personality is the main focus of media attention this news week article titled inside the bulletproof bubble of the west's public enemy number one begins by looking into what putin eats for breakfast c.n.n. draws a connection between the russian president's photo at a church and the downing of the malaysian airliner and global outrage grew putin try to appear pious photographed praying at an orthodox church the russian

president continuing his drumbeat blaming ukraine and its western backers he is no one should and no one has the right to use this tragedy to achieve their own selfish political goals these events should not divide united people by fixing its gaze on the russian president the media has excelled at what he does best acting this judge and jury and simplifying a complex situation by focusing on just one person than a shotgun or t. washington d.c. meanwhile another to sensing town in eastern ukraine has fallen to government forces the noose tightens around the capitals of two self-proclaimed republics only calls that have reports now on the high price the civilian population is pay. sure there are good for. eastern ukraine homes ablaze cars riddled with bullets this is what locals here have been waking up to day after day for the past several weeks

and the human cost of the says stane government assault has been said in the rising sun like depression. issues there's a question then you know maybe ten years go by tomorrow with the many hundreds killed since the ukrainian army's operation began half a million have already packed up their belongings and fled across the border to russia but for those who stayed on constant reminders that nobody is safe. we've been hiding here for two months already challen can start any time my mother in that one town it's time for some water and it was a miracle that we survived we had to hide from shells and splinters behind a large car every single moment we are afraid to die but don't feel the greatest sadness for a six year old girl who dies for nothing her body was just torn to pieces donetsk is one of ukraine's largest cities holds a million people many called in the crossfire between and seeking of fighters who have made the city their stronghold and government forces the ukrainian authorities

pledged to continue their onslaught to root out what it calls terrorists but that means locals here have a long saw fights of their own ahead of them so now it's the largest city in a certain ukraine it was the wants full of life that accommodated the locals and for interest on a couple of years ago with balkans thousands of football fans to the european football championships now however it's slow it's earning into a ghost town as local businesses close their doors and residents to leave the area for recalls and shelling that hasn't stopped in over a month from a culture of artsy donetsk ukraine still to come in the program another borscht execution in the u.s. a lethal injection sends a death row inmate into almost two hours of agony before finally dying we hear from his lawyer in a few minutes time also islamist radicals in iraq and syria and iran honeymoon tours through the caliphate we've got

a full story coming up. there's a media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same motion see your. father your party there's a goal. for shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . well drew. joins us this moment in fossil on as we follow the international teams fighting for receive glory ultimately. on holmes how much we delve into the mysterious cost of a cult classic underscoring the way the kite clearing the road for the program. so. we've got the future.

the stories we cover here we're not going to hear any right it's our big story straight ahead lights there's a reason they don't want you to know. the phrase that we. now let's break the set. welcome back not guilty until proven innocent that is how critics have branded the french government's latest anti terror bill and to be to say that the legislation will trample basic democratic rights and here's why firstly it will allow the government to monitor your private messages e-mails and browse stuff stored online authorities will be able to block websites to something that's seen accusations of censureship and finally the government will be able to ban anyone from going abroad if it suspects terrorist plans for the trip jeremy zimmerman and internet freedoms

activists explains why he thinks this bill is an outrage. this low speaks of terrorists to be and is about combating the intent of people who may become terrorists even before they start doing anything so in practice it would be to the police and to the government to the executive to decide whenever someone is a potential terrorist who may do something and then it would be a load to infiltrate his computer to try to to decrypt encrypted data to block him from leaving friends where is the limit between being a terrorist and being a suspected terrorists when it is the police or the government that decides if it's not the judicial judge that exist decision then we're breaking the fundamental values of democracy online for you at the moment a story of secret tortures the european court of human rights abuses poland of

torturing detainees in secret cia prisons it hosted on its territory also our website a bribe or compensation u.k. authorities off to one million pounds to communities that greeted berry nuclear waste in their region we've got the story for you at r.t. dot com. civil rights advocates have called for greater transparency in a new porch executions scandal brewing in the us joseph would spend almost two hours gasping for air before dying and it's not the first such case in april clayton lockett spent forty three minutes in agony after relief the injection and then in january another execution lasted for almost half an hour joseph wood's lawyer described the suffering his client had to go. it took joe would almost two hours to die yesterday and he spent an

hour and forty minutes gasping and struggling to breathe we went to the department of corrections and asked it to give us information about the source of the drugs the qualifications of the persons who would be conducting the execution as well as how it came up with the formula that it decided to use and it refused to provide us that information well alexander simpson from california innocence project says the drugs used to kill death row inmates are experimental to say the latest. this is a new cocktail of drugs that obviously did not work out at all in these last few executions when you're talking about the death penalty one of the things that you have to get around is that any type of challenge to the death penalty primarily centers around the idea that it's

a cruel and unusual punishment and lethal injection was not necessarily conceived as cruel or unusual because it doesn't take that long and because it's primarily kind of puts the person to sleep and then shuts down the systems if you're talking about somebody who is writhing in pain for two hours at a certain point it becomes cruel and unusual and therefore it's a violation of the person's rights even if they're executed they have to be done in a way that doesn't violate their constitutional rights a quick look at some other news now rescue teams have found the wreckage of a passion just plane that crashed in mali killing all one hundred sixteen people on board ground control lost contact with the aircraft flying from bikini. fifteen minutes after takeoff the reasons of the tragedy is still unknown shortly before the crash though the pilot did to change the due to bad weather. twenty one people have reportedly been killed in the twin bomb attack in the iraqi capital the

explosions went off just minutes apart near a restaurant in baghdad's busy commercial district the blast comes as the state employees elect a new president politician. must soon takes office while the country's on the brink of collapse and some of its provinces are under the control of isis fighters. but would you consider going on a honeymoon to miss flamm mixtape well that's what radicals in the self declared caliphate in iraq in syria offering they knew the wedge they have started their own tourism industry also taking citizens on twice weekly tall showing off the landmarks on the territory they control it appears to be part of efforts to create a functioning state in the caliphate already has its own legal system shari'a law its government is thought to have a budget with something like two billion dollars and does control key oil fields in iraq not to mention a well trained army former security analyst michael maloof says the terrorists are

now actively promoting their new state their announcement of a burst tour would be very very laughable and. so serious and. over the hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced and another people killed it's part of the public relations campaign to be publicly to be as public as possible about the work our food and they are very p.r. oriented public relations oriented and social media is the is the thing and i think that i think it's part of a larger effort to. show the display of the magnificence of this caliphate that they've created. thanks being with you this morning up next is polly taking with larry king.

a friend of mine flew in from germany and he said that as he was leaving he looked in to do stand at the airport and on the front page of twelve german publications were basically titles like tunes missile destroyers airplane alluding to the crash malaysian airplane that fell into the combat zone in eastern ukraine this isn't just some fluke that my friend saw all these newspapers together the entire mainstream media has made the same bold speculations i think this is interesting for two reasons one the way that the mainstream press jumped onto the story with exactly the same headlines and exactly the same angles really makes me want to start believing in conspiracy theories especially when an investigation had been conducted yet there wasn't any formal evidence yet but from fox to c.n.n. to medium sized german newspapers the speculation of who was at fault for the crash

is identical and absolute and to the western media which feels justified to push for war with anyone who doesn't adopt western values have themselves completely forgotten just what those values are i thought in the glorious west everyone gets a fair trial with due process evidence and a conviction only after their guilt has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt but when enemies of washington need to be demonized i guess all those principles just fly right out the door but that's just my opinion.

is the united states ready maybe for a presidential candidate who calls himself a democratic socialist romance very independent senator bernie sanders talks about a possible white house run and a whole lot more on this edition of politicking. on the politicking on larry king and on today's show us and the birdie sanders the independent from vermont.
