thousands of palestinians in the west bank vent their anger at israel in the largest protest against the ongoing gaza or offensive which has killed more than eight hundred people. and eyewitnesses a british journalist working for r t was beaten and tortured by ukrainian soldiers and made growing calls for his release. political deadlock i made an ailing economy and ukraine's ruling coalition collapses and the prime minister resigns as the bloody internal conflict continues to drain the country's budget.

you're watching international we're coming to you live from moscow where it's now two pm here in the russian capital ten thousand palestinian protesters have taken to the city of ramallah in the west bank to voice anger against israel's offensive in gaza it ended in deadly clashes with israeli soldiers at a checkpoint in gaza for us closely following the situation. this is the largest rally we've seen in the west bank of course yasser in the west bank geographically 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 being of course extremely bloody last night at least two palestinians were killed and up to two hundred

injured as these clashes we sold molotov cocktails and fireworks being fired at israeli border police as well as the israeli troops they responded with of course stun guns and here gas so this is surely an important benchmark of how bad things are getting been in the west bank we're seeing such a such an escalation of clashing literally where we are approximately five minutes ago there was an air strike about six hundred meters directly behind where i am now within about five seconds of that strike being visibly heard a piece of shrapnel that i'm holding my hand right here it's bumming 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 as you can see here but 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 all yesterday we saw a very significant instance where united nations run school was being used to shelter and this was struck allegedly by israeli tank fire in one way or another we understand that at least fifteen were 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 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 effective you know goes or if you go here you're 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. while israel's foreign ministry blames hamas 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 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 of the war crime of the war crime and that's what we're going to discover we said repeatedly we said it also quietly diplomatic channels quiet will be also required calm will be responded to with this message was rejected out of hand we'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 we accepted unconditionally we implemented in all three of which with the with the glib laws they couldn't careless execute rejected and violated so

i agree with you this is a real tragedy the responsibility for which lies directly at the doorstep of hamas but not all israeli support their armies actions across the border and i.d.f. commander doubts 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 things are not clear because if you look at the last few years everything every two three years there is an operation there's just a serious of operations in gaza and everyone just led to the other in 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 have been work should we try to ask ourself you know maybe we should try to change our ways and how we deal with gaza or muslims throughout the world are marking international courts day it's traditionally used to express solidarity with the palestinian people here are the latest pictures from iran where rallies denouncing israeli aggression are underway new york also took part in a national day of action demonstrators marched through the city demanding an end to american support for the offensive meanwhile across the atlantic hundreds of people gathered outside the israeli embassy in madrid that rally was organized by a coalition of over forty nine peace groups and trade unions. get our website has plenty of updates to one the israeli palestinian conflict had that for news pictures and i witness accounts. a journalist working for r.t. has reportedly been beaten and tortured by ukrainian armed forces are being seized

days ago with three colleagues these tales are sketchy but artie's arena has some eyewitness accounts. the 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 ukrainian military on thursday and this is how he described what has happened to them. we were going. around to film a group of men i followed and that's when we were ambushed they put bags over our heads but before i noticed it was the ukrainian military judging by their insignia we were put in a car and driven first they put us in a kind of cell together but we were later separated they started torturing us. graham screaming and i was screaming too it was horrible they told graham they were taking him to western ukraine to kiev then they left me outside. has mentioned

there both him and graham phillips along with two other journalists were actually near denounced airport extremely dangerous area scene of some of them will severe fighting over recent weeks overall of course the situation in the entire donetsk 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 there kidnapping what 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 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 prita. they have not been let into the country and of course there's been a lot of international outcry on this 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 where ukraine could be in for a thorough power reboot the ruling coalition there has collapsed after two out of three parties quit the prime minister then announced his resignation nor makers now have a month to form a new coalition otherwise they'll be early elections the way it is not likely to do you create any good the collapse of the coalition cut short the passing of much needed laws to rescue the country's economy the military operation in eastern ukraine could also be hit as the political deadlock chokes financing and all this

could discourage the e.u. support for his political science professor nicholai patrick 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 that are under water that are going that are coming in the pipeline first of all there will be political crisis which is just you know now 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 its army the money to pay its soldiers will run out next week. well hours before the prime minister's resignation ukraine's lower house voted to dissolve parliament but only up to make it impossible for the communists to be part of the next one they were deigned not to have enough deputies to be represented now in elections two years

ago the communist secured thirteen percent of the vote as well over two and a half million people some of its members lost their seats amid the political turmoil in the country and they had twenty three deputies remaining when the party was excluded the parliament speaker said getting rid of the party was a historic mission adding that he hopes there would never be another communist faction the leader of the communist party called it a political lynching saying it was a crackdown on it dissent a senior british communist party leader told us he believes the e.u. should not be supporting this politically motivated move i don't think there's been any attempt to ban or oust a political party of the size of the ukrainian communist party since the burning of parts is the question in greece or earlier when the nazis came to power in germany they still represent that two and a half million voters they will now have the rights to political association

negated in a way that is contrary to the european charter of human rights as well as the terms of the european union treaty it is. religious that the european union should be giving sanction to this government. another aircraft barony bodies of those killed on flight m.h. seventeen has just taken off from the city of hawk off for the netherlands the malaysian airliner came down in eastern ukraine just over a week ago and now being transported to a military base for examination and identification is thought that not all remains have yet been found in a special international team is being prepared to secure the crash site in the meantime investigators say they've 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 of first

a 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 face sentimentality the formation i can't get into sources and methods behind it but i was able to be able to tell you that is there a you tube video or something that you could point us to that i mean you know anything just wondering if you what what what it is i just said i wasn't going to give you the underlined source for it mary did you say you had a loved one really working its magic you're sure i don't give you more information just say no i think you're the source not actually ask you a question here i can't give you the source or method would you prefer i not give you the information. 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. ok if says the malaysian airliner didn't verify course before going down contradicting evidence provided by the russian defense ministry meanwhile amid 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 if you can reports b.b.c. russian deleted an online report by their correspondent from eastern ukraine it was recorded by olga if shaina who went to the site where ukrainian intelligence says rebels fired a missile at the malaysian airlines plane she took the photo showing a rising plume of smoke which the ukrainians intelligence service provided as evidence of where the missile was launched the reporter identified at least two other potential sources for such a plume in the area including a coal mine nearby she also asked locals what they saw in the sky that day. there were two explosions in the sky with their how the plane broke apart with pieces falling everywhere and there was an ounce of military jet fly nia everyone saw it yes everyone saw it flying a little below 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. said the report did not live up to the editorial values of b.p. see. some journalists have taken sides to the point that when the ukrainian president said this ukrainian nation now are united they don't have any conflicts 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 r t or what c.n.n. discussed as the impact of russia's media machine for all the talk about propaganda which by definition is you know misinformation i would say russia's when it chris cuomo anarchies piddle of el 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 about connex what happened i made seventeen to the acts of russian militants and perhaps of the involvement of russia in either training equipping or maybe even assisting one when this what horrible operation fran 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 trying to coming 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 russian president at a church and the downing of the malaysian airliner and global outrage grew puton try to appear pious photographed praying at an orthodox church the russian president continuing his drumbeat blaming ukraine and its western backers. 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 unite 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 gun issue gun or t. washington d.c. . well another dissenting town in eastern ukraine has fallen to government forces

as the noose tightens around the capitals of the two self-proclaimed republics ramon costa have reports now on the high cost to civilians. with. eastern ukraine homes ablaze cars riddled with bullets this is what locals here have been waking up to the day after day for the past several weeks and the human cost of the sustained government assault has been steadily rising depression. we should there's a question and you know maybe ten year book but among with 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 sharing can start any time the man and i went outside some water and it was a miracle that we survived we had to hide from shows and splinters behind. every

single moment we were free to die i don't netsky is one of ukraine's largest cities home to a million people many caught in the crossfire between and 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 soft fights of their own the head of them so now it's the largest city in a certain ukraine it was once full of life and accommodated the locals and for interest only a couple of years ago it welcomed thousands of football fans to the european football championships now however it's slow it's turning 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 our culture of artsy donetsk ukraine. and coming up another botched

execution in the u.s. a lethal injection sends a death row inmate into almost two hours of agony before finally dying we hate from his lawyer in a few moments. as the media leave us so we leave that maybe. the scene motions to cure the play your part of the physical. issues that no one is as good with to get that you deserve answers from. politics only on our t.v. .

you're watching r.t. international now guilty in till proven innocent that's how critics have branded the french government's latest anti terror belt activists say the legislation will trample basic human rights and here's why firstly it will allow the government to monitor your private messages emails and browse stuff stored online or thirty's will be able to block websites something that's seen accusations of censorship and

finally the government will be able to ban anyone from going abroad if it's expensive if it suspects terror related plans for the trip jeremy zimmerman and internet freedoms activist explains why he thinks this bill is an outrage. this slow 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 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 takes this decision then we're breaking the fundamental

values of democracy in other new civil rights campaigners have called for greater transparency after another botched execution in the u.s. joseph word spent almost two hours gasping for air before dying it's not the first such case in april clayton lockett spent forty three minutes in agony after a lethal injection and in january another execution lasted for almost half an hour joseph words lawyer describe the suffering his client had to go three. 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 you're watching international coming up next a debate on the latest political headlines with the legendary larry king stay with us. a friend of mine flew in from germany and he said that as he was leaving he looked out to do stand at the airport and on the front page of twelve german publications were basically titles like two tins 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 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. one thing erin the last thing is sad people essentially believing in this world

when they believe that you know that me to be here to talk to you that they simply don't realize when propaganda is being pointed out we need to go by beyond that and actually gauge with the ideas in the information that is presented as well and confront that information and i think that's something that as you mentioned before not everything is black and white not everything isn't taken istic and the more that we can be i guess open open minded khana source of information regardless of the source i think we're all going to be there. 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. from

the politicking on larry king and on today's show us and a birdie sanders the independent from vermont calls himself a democratic socialist lately in calling for americans to liberate themselves from the one percent he's never shy with his remarks he joins me from capitol hill he's . the longest serving independent member of congress in united states has used to be a frequent guest with us on radio and c.n.n. it's nice to have been here with us on politicking with larry king as well good to see of bernie great to be with you larry before we discuss inequality and what you might do in the future two quick things i like your brief comments first on the situation in the middle east you know this is an ongoing

tragedy of enormous consequence that breaks my heart and every few years the software rupp's an innocent people get killed and you know israel and the palestinian authority seem to get nowhere close i think all that i can say is that the international community the countries in the region i've got to do everything they can to get these sides into negotiations that hopefully work out some type of two state settlement and number two your thoughts on the ukraine well i think you know the president has got to be aggressive with putin the idea that the ukrainian rebels there have access to these types of weapons that can shoot down commercial airliners is not acceptable and i think this needs to be an issue that the president putin i've got to really thoroughly go over analysis discuss these things don't mistake united states income inequality the worst since nineteen

twenty eight one percent own thirty seven percent of everything in this country why isn't there more outrage. well you know it has a lot to do with the fact that in congress you have a lot of folks frankly who receive their campaign contributions from the one percent or you have a media which is owned by large corporate interests but i tell you larry in vermont and throughout this country i think people are profoundly disgusted with the reality that ordinary americans are working longer hours follow wages that parents don't know that their kids for the first time in the modern history of our country will have a lower standard of living than they do that america is moving in the wrong direction so there is a lot of outrage out there and i believe that people want fundamental change it is absurd in my view that ninety five percent.
