you're watching the we're coming to you live from moscow ten thousand palestinian protesters have taken to the city of ramallah in the west bank to voice their anger against israel's offensive in gaza it ended in deadly clashes with israeli soldiers as a checkpoint. closely following the situation. this is the largest rally we've seen in the west bank of course gasser 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 has been 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 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 clashing literally where we are approximately five minutes ago there was an airstrike 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 so you can see here that of course things are not like me 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

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 all 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 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 well israel's foreign ministry blames a mass 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 a very difficult circumstance to minimize 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 he said appear to be reseated also quietly diplomatic channels quiet will be also require calm will be responded to with call 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 them all three of which with the with the glib laws they couldn't care less attitude 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 israelis support the army's actions an ex 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 for 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 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 of 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. all 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 are denouncing israeli aggression under way 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 mala cross 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. the world health organization has called for the creation of a humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of the injured and the supply of medical aid or not and other updates on the israeli palestinian conflict is up on our website including news pictures and eye 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 details 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 are 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. here on to film a group of men i followed him and that's when we were ambushed they put bar exam over our heads but before i noticed it was you cranium military judging by their insignia we were put in a car and driven somewhere first they put us in a kind of soul together but we were later separated they started torturing us beating graham screaming and i was screaming too it was horrible they told graham they were taking him to western ukraine or to kiev then they left me outside then

you know. as i see marks of his men saying they're both him in. graham phillips along with two other journalists were actually near denotes 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. what talk to them. now 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 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 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 pretense 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 with journalists in ukraine remains much to be desired well a save graham phillips hashtag is gaining momentum on twitter social network use the urging for the release of the journalist on the protection of others working in ukraine. where ukraine could be in for a thorough power reboot the ruling coalition that has collapsed after two out of three parties quit the prime minister then announced his resignation lawmakers now have a month to form a new coalition otherwise we early elections on the way it is not likely to do any good for ukraine 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 or this could discourage the you support for k.f.c. his political science professor nicholai petrie the one playing i think that 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 under water that are going that are coming in the pipeline first of all there will be political crisis which is just been announced 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 be paid soldiers will run out next week. well hours before the prime minister's resignation ukraine's lower house votes 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 well in elections two years ago the communist secured thirteen percent of the vote that's 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 on the party was excluded the parliament speaker says getting rid of the party was a historic 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 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 the 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 to

a million voters they will 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 but the european union should be giving sanction to this government coming up the latest on the investigation into the malaysian airliner crash in ukraine on the repatriation of the victims' bodies. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear in iraq story. there's a reason they don't want you to know for. now let's break the set .

dramas that can't be ignored. stories others refused to notice. places changing. the picture. from around the globe. to.

another aircraft bearing the bodies of those killed on flight m.h. seventeen has just taken off from the city of hama called ukraine for the netherlands the malaysian airliner came down in eastern ukraine just over a week ago the bodies are now being transported to a military base for examination and identification it's thought that not all remains have yet been found and 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 was not tampered with. russia's aviation authority is also demanding answers from ukraine about the crash. of that action for the nation. had a god and. investigation of malaysia in that alliance boeing. that it crashed. agency has made a number of requests that it says will help the investigation along it's asking for

traffic communications with flight m.h. seventeen it also wants a copy of the plane's original flight plan then information about ukraine's military on the day of the disaster including what exercises were taking place participants and what missiles were fired 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. and 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 you tube video or something that you can point us to the internet 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 underlying source for it maybe you could use like you had a loved one in many ways it's not with us you're right i don't give you more

information just saying that i think make it a source not actually ask you a question here mike a give you the source or method would you prefer 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 ok if says the malaysian airliner didn't they are off course before going down contradicting evidence provided by the russian defense ministry meanwhile it made a conflicting claims on a lack of clear proof the media are stirring up talk of a new cold war jumping at any opportunity to point the finger gun h. accountable 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 she took the photo showing the 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 local us 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 awesome military jet flying near everyone saw it yes everyone saw it flying a little below the present a plane. we had 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 we don't have any conflicts inside the queen and he was not picked up on it even as pictures and video pour in

of the war raging in the country since. the us media is once again taking aim at our t.v. or what. 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 a sister wife when this what horrible operation fran you're going to atlanta 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 phenomenon out there we flip and dividing and 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 goes judge and jury and simplifying a complex situation by focusing on just one person going to shutdown or t. washington d.c. with another dissenting town in eastern ukraine has fallen to government forces as the noose tightens around the capitals of two self proclaimed republics are among cos are of reports now on the high cost to civilians. before. 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 sustained government assault has been steadily rising but the british it. is you there's a question and a bit in your book but among yeah 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 so monday i went outside to some water and it was a miracle that we survived we had to hide from shells this plant is behind a lot every single moment we're afraid to die i don't netsky is one of ukraine's largest cities home to a million people many called 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 don't know it's the largest city in a certain ukraine it was once full of life and 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 our culture of artsy donetsk ukraine. well in the latest development russia's defense ministry says the ukrainian army used phosphorous bombs in the east of the country it claims it has solid proof that the weapons were used in civilian areas such acts are banned by the geneva convention. guilty until proven innocent that's how critics have branded the french government's latest anti terror bill 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 of origins will be able

to block websites something seen accusations of censorship and finally the government will be able to ban anyone from going abroad if it suspects terror related plans for the trip jeremy zimmerman an 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 low 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. civil rights campaign is of call for great attack but transparency after another botched execution in the us joseph wood spent almost two hours gossiping for abby for dying it's not such case in april and locke it's been forty three minutes in agony following a lethal injection and in january another execution last of almost half an hour joseph wood's lawyer describes 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 now would you consider going on honeymoon to an islamic state well that's what radicals in the self declared caliphate in iraq and syria are offering their new weds they've started their own tourism industry also taking citizens on twice weekly told showing off the landmarks on the territory they control now it appears to be part of an effort to create a functioning state caliphate or it has its own eagle system the sharia law its government is thought to have a budget worth two billion dollars on the controls caoilte fields in iraq not to mention a well trained army former security analyst michael maloof says the terrorists are now actively promoting the new state. their announcement of a bus tour would be very very laughable if it weren't so serious and

sad over the hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced and and other people killed it's part of their public relations campaign to be as publicly to be as public as possible about the 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 coming out next abby martin let's see how the western media justifying the israeli offensive in gaza stay with us in our international. 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. the last thing is sad people especially leaving in this world when they believe that you know that. tactic. basically don't realize when propaganda is being played we need to go by beyond that and actually gauge with the ideas of sleaze that is presented as well and confront that information things. that's something that it is you know for not everything is black and white not everything isn't taken is taken and the more that we can be i guess open open minded con the source of information regardless of the source i think we're all going to be.

what's happenin pip's i'm out in martin and this is breaking the set so that ill fated stand your ground law just dropped another hole in the fabric of america's so-called justice system this week a circuit court judge in florida a little bit morrison alexander a woman who fired warning shots in the air to keep her abusive husband at bay he will not get another hearing alexander now wait a second trial in the summer where the mother of two faces an inhumane amount of jail time count of sixty years of the crime of trying to stay alive this despite the fact that no one was killed or even injured as a result of her actions alexander was previously unsuccessful in invoking the infamous stand your ground statute in her defense when she was charged with aggravated assault.
