thousands of palestinians in the west bank vent their anger at israel in the largest protest against the. which has now killed more than eight hundred people. a ukrainian journalist who was abducted with a mini missing british reporter says they were beaten by troops still not know. parliament paralysis the ruling coalition collapses and the prime minister is refusing to work because the government squanders the budgets on the war in the country's east.

hello welcome along to r.t. international coming to you live from moscow. ten thousand palestinian protesters have taken to the streets of ramallah in the west bank to voice their anger at the violence in gaza that ended in clashes with israeli soldiers which left to protesters dead and dozens wounded in gaza for us 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 was these clashes resoled molotov cocktails and fireworks being

fired at israeli border police as well as the is right and 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 clashes literally where we are approximately five minutes ago that 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 only going strikes continue

here in gaza well yesterday we saw a very significant incident 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 stop the united nations said that it's given israel has started a g.p.s. g.p.s. coordinates all through 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 effect of you know he 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. meanwhile hamas continues to firing rockets into

israel with many reaching as far as tell a very closely awareness israel's iron dome interception system in action. the lamas just found their share intelligence so we're going to join us as everybody starts rushing to go towards the bomb shelter so the way to the bomb shelter is this way you can see that the start that people that may have come out of the building no one ever should they are people that live there are walking to go towards the bomb shelter. you had that bang that was behind interfaith you can actually see the white smoke over there. where it left a trail as it made that interception and some white smoke over there let's just go to the it's a safe thing to do is to get up a consequence of the sign off the pavement and wait there they reconnect the iron dome anti-missile system intercepts around ninety percent of rockets. but the fear is for the ten percent that it doesn't intercept the shows you. that even as the israeli ground offensive advances here in the same to of israel in tel aviv the

rockets keep flying. want to see on television i. think. people across the world will be voicing their anger over the ongoing offensive these are pictures from new york where hundreds of people many of them jewish protested against israel's actions they also called on the u.s. to stop supporting israel of course the mantic hundreds of people gathered outside the israeli embassy the rally was organized by a large coalition in the streets and trade unions meanwhile muslims throughout the world are marking international crudes day is traditionally used to express solidarity with the palestinian people here are the latest pictures from iran where rallies denouncing israeli aggression the way. and later we'll be talking to a veteran human rights activist who's taking part in a pro palestinian rally in london stay with us for that. now calls for an end to violence have just been of being just as loud online this photo hash tag is

trending right now and it's jews and arabs refuse to be enemies it was launched by a u.s. couple of mixed arab jewish background web users quickly picked up on it responding with dozens more pictures and stories of love and friendship between arabs and jews for example this woman has a jewish mother and a palestinian father she tweeted whatever we suffer hate makes it worse. the whereabouts of a british journalist who disappeared in east ukraine three days ago remain unknown but a fellow reporter who was with graham phillips when the pair were abducted was released and told r.t. they've been beaten or in english for sums up what details we know. information about the beatings is coming from another journalist who was detained where the ground phillips cameraman 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 pushed to put bags over our heads . 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 graham phillips along with two other journalists were actually near denounced airport extremely dangerous area scene of some of them of severe fighting over recent weeks overall of course the situation in the entire regions remains highly volatile as described by graham's friend donald the other side ukrainian civil war taken

a captive today what are they doing there kidnapping a lot talk to them. 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 checkpoint by national guard and then transferred over to the 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 . since 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 of journalists in ukraine remains wise

to be desired while a save graham phillips hash tag is gaining momentum on twitter social network users are urging for the release of the journalist and the protection of others working in ukraine now just when ukraine needs some solid leadership those in power have put the country into political paralysis the ruling coalition has collapsed parliament could be dissolved and the prime minister says he's quit although deputies still haven't had his resignation letter for them to vote on lawmakers now face a choice either forge a new majority group or get ready for elections judging by the state of the ukrainian economy this is no time to procrastinate fast running out of cash dithering about much needed reforms and focusing its energies on the military operation in the east plus ukraine says the loans promised by the european union will not be enough while europe itself is hesitating over the funds already set aside political science professor nikolai petro told us the crisis is here to stay . the one thing i think the political parties want to avoid that are currently

there is being delayed for the price hikes the significant price hikes for utilities and. underwater that are going to have coming in the pipeline first of all there will be political crisis which is just you know nouns while there is a political necessity as europe's as the e.u. sees it to support and just burst 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 the ruling coalitions break down has made it possible for the ukrainian president to dissolve parliament but just before this opportunity emerged lawmakers voted to expel the communists meaning they'll have no next to no chance of becoming part of the next parliament the faction was deemed not to have enough deputies or two years ago the communist

party secured thirteen percent of the vote representing more than two and a half million people since then the faction has shrunk by nearly a third to june to the political turmoil in the country the parliament speaker so the party's exclusion is a triumph adding that he hopes they'll never return but the communist leader described the ousting as a political lynching the senior british communist party official says that a you should distance itself from kiev. i don't think there's been any attempt to ban the political party of the size of the ukrainian communist party since the banning of cos 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. outrageous that the european

union should be giving sanction to this government meanwhile i russian checkpoint on the border with ukraine has come under shelling from ukrainian territory several shells explained it and made intense gunfire all reports a have is in the region and joins us now. good to see do we know at this stage if there have been any injuries. well at this point two of the russian checkpoints had been shelved all and all the officials are reporting that forty shells flew into russian territory from ukraine and actually one of the shells. exploded in a residential area in the house but fortunately no one was injured there so the checkpoints all for the russian border guards have been vacuumed it already and mind you this is not the first time ukraine is shelling russian territory it

already happens nine times and it happens a while the refugees from eastern ukraine were flowing into a russia so russia has demanded number assigned that ukraine is stop their activity of shutting the russian territory and speaking all the refugees according to u.n. figures at least two hundred thousand have been displaced from eastern ukraine at least a half of them have found shelter on a russian territory but so the people who remain here in eastern ukraine who haven't found a way to leave that that's an area continuously hiding in their basements and bomb shelters. stood on principle that. i mean for. 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 by junior that children have been genuine and in waiting for them some you know maybe ten years but by the moment you know i am right here with the many hundreds killed since the ukrainian army's operation began half a million have already packed their belongings and fled across the border to russia but for those who stayed on constant reminders that nobody is safe from these dogs . would be in hiding here for two months already sharing can start any time so monday i went outside for some water and it was a miracle that we survived we had to hide from shells this plant is behind. 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 caught in the crossfire between and seeking

a 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 the sand ukraine was once full of life and accommodated the locals and foreign terrorists on a couple of years ago with balkans 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 from constant shelling that hasn't stopped in over a month. from our culture of artsy donetsk ukraine. coming up the latest on the investigation into the malaysian airliner crash in ukraine and the repatriation of the victims' bodies. the idea of russian russians as long obsessed western minds and politics and that

obsession has to date been remarkably dark and even menacing is this because the west projects its own negative self into others. dramas the truth be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. the faces change the world. to picture of today's you know. from around the globe. just three years ago the european union are spending several hundreds of billions of euros on the public procurement in their estimation that each. deal twenty thirty sometimes even fifty percent of the money spent on corruption.

back to our top story this hour the conflict in the middle east and rallies calling for an end to violence in gaza let's talk now to masood such a day from the islamic human rights commission he joins us here on r.t. international thank you very much for your time we're witnessing these rallies then across the world from new york to london madrid as well what do you think this says about western societies and their attitude to what's happening in gaza. well i think we need to separate the attitude and the feeling of the overwhelming number of people ordinary people in the west and the way that the government and indeed the western media is responding overwhelming majority of people are really feeling

the pain of the palestinians they really understand that this is queues of israelis that this massacre is necessary for peace and security they don't accept that and they feel that israel need to be accountable and hold accountable but unfortunately the governments and the media as a whole in the west are totally biased trying to equate. sort of palestinian suffering we didn't need an aspiration of israelis and i think this is this parity and this is why people are coming in their houses and millions in the streets to say enough is enough do you think the western governments are going to listen to these thousands of people on the streets and do anything meaningful to try and end the bloodshed. well i think i think there is even a change on the some of the media and the government's position they have to i mean

the whole thing is so clear clear card that you cannot sort of kill innocent people women and children in this sort of massive scale and i'm trying to justify it for any reason or any justification the need to have recognition that palestinians have got basic rights and on list we address those basic law right on this we actually end the siege and unless we end the occupation there will be this conflict continuing israel is accusing hamas of using human shields which they will only increase the suffering of the population to what extent is this true. well i mean anyone who understands the situation of gaza the most populated piece of land on earth and the fact that they cannot go anywhere you know where can they go i mean the palestinians are going nowhere else to go to gaza is that

a prison that has they give sort of gather them for all our own palestine and shove them into this concentration camp and then big prison called gaza another bombing them they've got nowhere else to go they would love to go somewhere else they would love to go away and have safety and security anywhere else but the only place that they seem to have a degree of security is in the hospitals and the un run the schools and windows are being attacked so really it is illegal to city posture is to suggest that palestinians want to sacrifice themselves for no reason they have no other choice they can't going anywhere else israel says that on a number of occasions it's agreed to a ceasefire but that has been broken by hamas how do you see an end to this what is israel what can israel do. well is there has to do what is obligation is on the international law israel has to actually make sure those on these occupation they

get basic. necessities and israel is trying to deny that the only peace israel has ever wanted than the past and present is to have peace while they're occupied and while the ethnically cleanse palestinians we need to have a peace which is justifiable based on the knees and aspiration of the people in gaza which have been suffering for over sixty five years the need to have siege taken away and they need to start beginning to put their lives together and have the basic needs like water electricity housing. and food which is absolutely necessary masoud security thank you very much for your time here on r.t. international now another military aircraft carrying bodies of those killed in the mh seventeen tragedy has just taken off from the city of harkov and is heading

towards the netherlands the malaysian airlines plane came down in eastern ukraine and 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 the remains have been found yet and a special international team is being prepared to secure the crash site meanwhile experts working with the flight recorders say the data they contain hasn't been tampered with. or several theories about what could have brought down the malaysian plane have emerged since the disaster now a source in the ukrainian military says anti air defense drills taking place at the time of the crash may be to blame but kiev denies any such exercises ever happened or russia's aviation authority is demanding answers from ukraine about the crash. for the transport urgency of that action for the many commissions. together and. investigation of malaysian. crash

the agency has made a number of requests that it says will help the investigation it's asking for air 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 who was participating and what missiles were fired but also having their say and what happened has been america's intelligence community they accuse antigovernment fighters of downing the plane by mistake but admit they base the bulk of their proof on social networks and for journalists state department briefings that's not good enough i would like to know what you're basing this new evidence that the russians intend to send 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 able to tell you that is there a you tube video or something that you could point us to that i mean you know

anyone just wondering if you what what what it is i just said i wasn't going to give you the underlying source or a really good use like you know what really gets mad when you're sure i can give you more information just say no i think you make 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 very 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. the international media have been using america's ashamed evidence to round on russia to cam breaks down some of their latest moves. b.b.c. russian deleted an online report by their correspondent from eastern ukraine it was reported 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 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 there how the plane broke apart with pieces falling everywhere and there wasn't as a military jet flying me and 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 their 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 the queen and he was not picked up on it even as pictures and video pour in

a floor raging in the country since. the us media is once again taking aim at our t.v. or what c.n.n. discussed as 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 when it chris cuomo and r.t. spittle 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 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 frantically 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 think the only sane people are and it's been there and really really trying to coming out very flippant about it 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 russia what is it like your photo of her 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 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 going to shutdown or to washington d.c. . now news just coming into us here at. who has expanded its sun should they stay against russia over the crisis in ukraine fifteen people and eighteen companies are now subject to europe's restrictive measures the move comes after the u.s. introduced sanctions against some of russia's largest financial institutions and companies as breaking news here and also international. coming up next.

a friend of mine flew in from germany and he said that as he was leaving he looked into 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 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.
