doesn't give a darn about any. mission to teach creation and why you should care about humans. which is why you should care only. i. have palestinians in the west bank and 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 bloody internal conflict continues to drain the country's budget.
4:01 am
either thanks for watching you with r.t. international. tens ten thousand palestinian protesters took to the city of ramallah in the west bank to voice anger against israel's atrocities in gaza it ended in deadly clashes with israeli soldiers at a checkpoint theories in gaza for is closely following the situation. this is the largest rally we've seen in the west bank of course in the west bank graphically separated but it appears that the purpose of these demonstrations is to send a very clear message that even palestinians in the west bank largely affected the societal level by the ongoing violence here which is made of course extremely bloody last night at least two palestinians were killed and up to two hundred injured as that these clashes resoled molotov cocktails and fireworks being fired at israeli border police as well as the israeli troops they responded with of
4:02 am
course stun guns until gas so this is surely an important benchmark of how bad things are getting in in the west bank we're seeing such a such an escalation of clashes literally where we are approximately five minutes ago there was an ass strike about six hundred meters directly behind where i am now within about five seconds of that strike being visibly a piece of shrapnel that i'm holding my hand right here it's bunning right now landed literally four meters away from me just in front of this international hotel here one of the most expensive international hotels an area which is meant to be extremely safe in the gazan concepts so you can see that of course things are not likely not by any means there is some unconfirmed news that hamas may accept united states secretary of state john kerry's proposal for a cease fire that's not yet confirmed and obviously the ongoing strikes continue here in gaza well yesterday we saw
4:03 am
a very significant instance where united nations run school was being used as a shelter and this was struck allegedly by israeli tank fire in one way or another we understand that at least fifteen with killed including two children and united nations stuff the united nations said that it's given israel historically the g.p.s. g.p.s. coordinates of all of its infrastructure in gaza deliberately to try and prevent this kind of civilian object of being hit but this didn't happen and yesterday this . school building was struck it was home temporarily to these hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons as almost fifty percent of the territory of gaza has been labeled by the israeli military effect of you know goes if you go here you are likely to be killed so the situation continues to be dangerous even in the safest areas of gaza as the body count continues to rise now over eight hundred palestinians killed and israel's foreign ministry blames how mass but the fatalities in gaza they say that all timothy's should be investigated and i
4:04 am
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 minimize and to avoid civilian casualties and we're going to discover that hamas this evil machine with a killer strategy. is perpetrating war crime after 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 in the field appeared to be said it also quietly diplomatic channels quiet will be all sort of quiet calm will be responded to with this message was rejected out of hand they've been three cease fire proposals one by the egyptians one by the united nations one by the international committee for the red cross all three be accepted on provision for me to do all three of which. they couldn't careless execute some us rejected
4:05 am
and violated so i agree with you this is a real tragedy the responsibility for which lies directly at the doorstep of hamas not all israeli support their armies actions across the border next i.d.f. commander dance bloodshed is the only means to achieve any progress. i did three three years of service and two of them in the west bank during the second intifada and 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 relationships with 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 the silence the one thing we're trying to ask is ok so where is this one taking us
4:06 am
now is it again to the next operation two years down the road shouldn't we after all these operations have been work so we try to ask ourself you know maybe we should try to change our ways and how we deal with gaza the israeli offensive in gaza has become a focal point of outrage among people across the world these are the latest protests in new york part of a national day of action demonstrators marched through the city demanding and then to american support for the offensive meanwhile across the atlantic hundreds of people gathered outside the israeli embassy in the trade that rally was organized by coalition of over forty nine peace groups and trade being. and i get our web site has plenty of updates for you on the israeli palestinian conflict you had there the latest news pictures and witness accounts. of journalists working for r.t. has reportedly been beaten and tortured by ukrainian armed forces after being seized days ago with three colleagues details are sketchy but r.t.
4:07 am
is that in english as some witness accounts. information about the beatings is coming from another journalist who was detained where the ground philips camera men are working for the news agency we spoke to him as he was on his way to hospital he was released by ukrainian military on thursday and this is how he described what has happened to them. from a group of men i followed and that's when we were ambushed they put bags over our heads but before. military. we were put in a car. firstly put in a kind of cell together but we were later separated they started torturing us. screaming and i was screaming horrible. they were trying to western ukraine. has mentioned they're both him and ground phillips along with two other journalists
4:08 am
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 taking a captive today what are they doing there kidnapping a lot of talk to them. this is not the first time graham has been detained by authorities his first run in with officials was in may of this year when he was a danger there check point by national guard and then transferred over to ukraine security services overall of course ukraine remains one of the most in fact it is the e-mails to 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
4:09 am
prita. they have not been let into the country and of course there has 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 of journalists in ukraine remains much to be desired. crying could be in for a third. really the ruling coalition there has collapsed after two or three parties quit the prime minister then announced his resignation lawmakers now have a month to form a new coalition otherwise there will be early elections in the weight is not likely to do ukraine any 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 you support for kiev is political science professor nikolai
4:10 am
petra. 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 and gas that are underwater that are going that are coming in the pipeline first of all there will be political crisis which has just been announced while there is a political necessity years 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 if. the money to pay in soldier run out next week. but i was 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 not to have enough deputies to be represented in elections two years ago the communists accord thirteen percent of the vote well over two and
4:11 am
a half million people some of its members lost their seats there were made 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 store at mission adding that he hoped there would never be another communist faction the leader of the communist party called 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 beat now 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 would just ban the ukrainian communist party it would
4:12 am
ban the ideology of communism in ukraine. the bodies of more than half of those killed on flight m.h. seventeen have now been taken to the netherlands the malaysian airliner came down in eastern ukraine tuesday about a week ago they're now being transported to a military base for all examination and identification is still that not all the remains have been found yet in a special international saying is being prepared to secure the crash site in the meantime investigators say they have managed to download data from one of the flight recorders and say it wasn't tampered with. or failing to provide any solid backing for washington's evidence of who is behind the plane crash led to some pointed questions at the 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 in any heavier equipment not based on some intelligence information i can't get into sources and methods behind it but i was able to be
4:13 am
able to tell you that is there a youtube video or something that you can point us to the narrow engines and i'm just wondering if you what what what it is and is that i wasn't going to give you the underlined source for it me did you say you had a loved one it really was you it's not with you i surely don't give you more information just saying that i think the source now actually asked you a question here mike a gave 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 you know you make an allegation like that you're able to back it up with something more than just because i say so. you have meanwhile says the malaysian airline it didn't very often before going down contradicting evidence provided by the russian defense ministry and the conflicting claims and a lack of clear proof meanwhile the media are stirring up talk of a new cold war jumping at any opportunity it seems to point the finger as ghana's you can reports b.b.c. russian deleted an online report by their correspondent from eastern ukraine it was
4:14 am
reported by all good if shaina who went to the site where ukrainian intelligence says rebels fired a missile at the malaysian airlines plane which she took the photo showing the rising plume of smoke which the ukrainians intelligence service provided as evidence of where the missile was launched and the reporter identified at least two other potential sources for such a plume in the area including a coal mine nearby she also asked local us what they saw in the sky that day. there were two explosions in the sky with so how the plane broke apart with pieces falling everywhere and there was an awesome military jet flying near everyone saw it yes everyone saw it fly in the middle of the present a plane. we heard explosions in the sky and then the plane suddenly turned around changed its flight path and headed that way when the video was taken off the site many internet users were keen to know why the b.b.c.
4:15 am
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 conflicts inside the queen and he was not picked up on it even as pictures and video pour in a raging in the country since. the us media is once again taking aim at our well your c.n.n. discuss this because you the impact of russia's media machines for all the talk about propaganda which by definition is you know misinformation i would say russia's when it chris cuomo and ortiz piddle of l u two states 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 back connex what happened i'm age seventeen to the acts of russian militants and perhaps of the involvement of russia in either training equipping or maybe even a sister one one this is what
4:16 am
a horrible operation my friend you're going to have lands are you talking about what what forensic evidence are you referring to. twitter 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 now i pointedly say declaring it's been there and really really kind of charming out very flippant about 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 newsweek 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 russia what is it like your church and the downing of the malaysian airliner and global outrage grew try to appear pious
4:17 am
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 the united people by fixing its gaze on the russian president the media has excelled at what he does best acting as judge and jury and simplifying a complex situation by focusing on just one person gun issue gun or t. washington d.c. another dissenting town in eastern ukraine has fallen to government forces as the noose tightens around the capitals of two self-proclaimed republics roman causative now reports on the high cost to civilians. eastern ukraine homes ablaze cars riddled with bullets this is what locals here

4:22 am
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 would be a load to infiltrate his computer to try 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 right now illegal protest and russia's top opposition activists in jail she can think is behind bars for masterminding unrest

in russia you can read more about it on our website plus a bribe or is it compensation u.k. authorities offer up to one million pounds to communities that agreed to bury nuclear waste in their region we've got the details for you at r.t. dot com. civil rights campaigners have called for greater transparency after another botched execution in the us joseph would spend almost two hours gasping for air before dying and it's not the first such case and i pro clayton lockett spent forty three minutes in agony after a lethal injection and in january another execution lasted for almost half an hour or joseph wood's lawyer described the suffering his client had to go. 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
4:24 am
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 the drugs used to kill death row inmates are experimental to say the least according to many experts is alexander simpson from california innocence project 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
4:25 am
kind of puts the person to sleep and then shuts down the systems if you're talking about somebody who's 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. why would you consider going on a honeymoon to an islamic state well that's what radicals in the self declared caliphate in iraq in syria are offering their newly weds they have started their own tours mistreating also taking citizens on twice weekly tour showing off the landmarks on the territory they now control it doesn't pay to be part of efforts to create a functioning state the caliphate already has the same legal system shari'a lower its government is thought to have a budget worth something like two billion dollars and controls key oil fields in iraq not to mention a well trained army for security analyst michael maloof says the terrorists are now
4:26 am
actively promoting their new stacked their announcement of a burst tour would be very very laughable if it weren't so serious and. over the hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced and another people killed it's part of their public relations campaign to be publicly to be as public as possible about their caliphate 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 and display the magnificence of this caliphate that they've created. it is coming up to you how fast twelve coming up next it's going bust.
4:27 am
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 putin's missile destroys airplane alluding to the crash malaysian airplane that fell into the combat zone 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
4:28 am
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.
