muslims throughout the world are marking international kids day it's traditionally used to express solidarity with the palestinian people here are the latest pictures from iran and afghanistan this year most of the banners in the streets are denouncing israeli aggression in gaza the i.d.f. offensive has already taken the lives of over eight hundred palestinians there most of them civilians arabs are also protesting in israel these pictures are from a rally in jerusalem people marched away from ramallah in. the mall ten thousand palestinian protesters have taken to the streets of ramallah in the west bank to voice their anger at the violence in gaza and ended in clashes
10:02 am
with israeli soldiers which left to protest is dead and dozens wounded are if it was in gaza for us 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 is being of course extremely large and last night at least two palestinians were killed and up to two hundred injured as there was these clashes we saw molotov cocktails and fireworks being fired at israeli border police as well as the israeli troops they responded with of course stun guns and tear 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 air strike about six hundred meters directly behind where i am now
10:03 am
within about five seconds of that strike being visibly heard a piece of shrapnel that i'm holding my hand right here it's burning 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 calm sags so you can see here that of course things are not lightening up 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 incident 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 were killed including two children and united nations staff 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
10:04 am
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 go zone 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. firing rockets into israel with many reaching as far as television paula slater what is israel's iron dome interception system in action . the lamas just down there share intelligence so we're going to join the dots 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 i mean they have come out of the building no one ever showed there people over there are walking to go
10:05 am
towards a bomb shelter. big you had that bang that was the iron dome an interfaith thing 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 there it's the safest thing to do is to get up and hard to go to the side of the pavement and wait there they reconnect the iron dome anti-missile system intercepts around ninety percent of records. but the fear is for the ten percent that it doesn't intercept this shows you. that even as israeli ground offensive advances here in the same to of israel in tel aviv the rockets keep flying. want to see on television. well calls for an end to the violence have been just as loud online literally heartfelt way now this photo is hashtags trending right now jews and arabs refuse to be enemies it was launched by a u.s. couple with a mixed arab jewish background web users quickly picked it up responding with
10:06 am
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 it whatever we saw for hate makes it was. 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 there in english because sums up what details we know. 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 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 pushed to put bags over our heads but before i noticed crimean military judging by their insignia we were put in
10:07 am
a car and driven firstly put 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 and. then they left me outside. has mentioned they're both him and ground phillips along with two other journalists were actually near dinner airport extremely dangerous area scene of some of them will severe fighting over recent weeks overall of course the situation in the entire regions remains highly volatile as described by graham's friend ryan mcdonald the other side ukrainian civil war taking a captive today what are they doing there kidnapping a lot 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
10:08 am
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 pretty. 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 nice to be desired only save graham phillips hash tag is gaining momentum on twitter social network uses for the release of the journalist and the protection of others working in ukraine or just when ukraine needs some solid leadership those in power
10:09 am
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 while lawmakers now face a choice either forge a new majority group or get ready for early elections and judging by the state of the ukrainian economy this is no time to procrastinate 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 e.u. 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 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 underwater that are going that are coming in the pipeline first of
10:10 am
all there will be political crisis which has just been announced while there is a political necessity as europe's as the e.u. sees it to support and disperse money into ukraine it will actually not do that indefinitely and the problem is ukraine is running out of money even if there is an army the money to pay and soldiers will run out next week. while the ruling coalitions break down has made it possible for the ukrainian president to dissolve parliament but just before this opportunity nor make has voted to expel the communists meaning they'll have almost no chance of becoming part of the next parliament the faction was de not to have enough deputies now two years ago the communist party secured thirteen percent of the vote as representing more than two and a half million people but since then the faction has shrunk by nearly a third due to the political turmoil in the country the parliament speaker says the party's exclusion is a triumph adding that he hopes they'd never return but the communist leader
10:11 am
describes the ousting as a political lynching a senior british communist party official says the e.u. should distance itself from kiev. i don't think there's been any attempt to ban a political party if the size of the ukrainian communist party since the banning of pots is by the freshest in greece or the era when the nazis came to power in germany they still represent that two and a half million voters they will now have their 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. a russian checkpoint on the border with ukraine has come under shelling from ukrainian territory several shells
10:12 am
exploded amid intense gunfire among cluster of as the details two of the russian checkpoints had been shelled 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 so the checkpoints all of the russian border guards had been evacuated already and mind you this is not the first time ukraine is shelling russian territory it already happened nine times and it happens a while the refugees from eastern ukraine were flowing into a rush us so russia has demanded number assigned that ukraine is stop their activity of shutting the russian territory and speaking off 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 that people who remain here in eastern ukraine who
10:13 am
haven't found a way to leave the area continuously hiding in their basements and bomb shelters. for. eastern ukraine homes ablaze cars riddled with bullets this is what locals here have been waking up to day after day for the past several weeks and the human cost of this is stained government assault has been steadily rising but you knew that she wouldn't join the internet and weighed in on. some you know maybe ten years but by them i don't you know you have right here with the many hundreds killed since the ukrainian army's operation began half a million have already packed up their belongings and fled across the border to russia but for those who stayed on constant reminders that nobody is safe i mean it's not. really been hiding here seen months already. sharing can start any time so mom and i went outside some water and it was
10:14 am
a miracle that we survived we had to hide from shells and splinters behind in. every single moment we were free to die i don't need skills one of ukraine's largest cities homes a million people many called in the crossfire between and cheeky of fighters who have made the city their stronghold and government forces the ukrainian authorities pledged to continue their onslaught so ruled out what it calls terrorists but that means locals here have a long soft flights of their own the head of them the nets the largest city in the sand ukraine was once full of life that 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 earning 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 call center of artsy donetsk ukraine russia's investigative
10:15 am
committee says the shells were fired deliberately a total of forty seven in all elsewhere coming up the latest on the investigation into the malaysian airliner crash in ukraine and the repopulation victims' bodies. on merit in the financial world. to see these developments have not stopped the advance only takes no demand for credit. and life there are jews. we profit very large very attractive and now very globally recognized source of oil for the world into the future the world's cheapest and best petroleum deposits have been mined out we have to use more energy to get this energy industries grow like a cancer each of these. ten kilometers where. and this whole
10:16 am
area is slated for the way of her drinking water that's our wildlife service that's her fishery. this is the end game when it takes. to make one barrel of oil you know you're at the bottom line and that's where. we kill ourselves. following in the united states only a year has expanded its sanctions against russia over the crisis in ukraine adding fifteen people and i team companies the measures include visa bans and freezing assets from shall from the association of european business in the russian federation explains why the a you can't afford tougher restrictions. the decision making with regards to restrictive measures from the start of the european union
10:17 am
seems to be much more cautious than the american one if you compare the statistics russia has about fifty percent of its foreign trade with the european union while it's less than five percent for the u.s. and if you talk about foreign direct investments more than fifty percent of direct investments come from european sources and less than ten percent from the u.s. so there is certainly also not the quantity of but also a qualitative difference between the two. while another military aircraft carrying bodies of those killed in the mh seventeen tragedy is on its way to the netherlands from park of in the ukraine the malaysia airlines plane 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 the remains have been found yet in 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 the down the
10:18 am
malaysian plane have emerged the disaster now a source in the cranium military air defense drills taking place at the time of the crash may be to blame but denies any such exercises ever happened to russia's aviation authorities demanding answers from ukraine about the crash further transport urgency of the russian federation of america versions to the ukrainian side regarding an. investigation of malaysian airlines. crash where the agency has made a number of requests that it says will help the investigation along 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 are taking place and who was participating and what missiles were fired. also having their say in what
10:19 am
happened has been america's intelligence community they accuse anti government fighters of downing the plane by mistake but admit the basics they base the bulk of their profound social networks and the journalists as state department briefings not simply not good enough i would like to know what you're basing this new evidence that the russians intend to send any heavier equipment home based on some intelligence information i can't get into sources and methods behind it but i was able to be able to tell you that is there a youtube video or something that you can point us to that i mean you know engines and i'm just wondering if you what what what it is i just said i wasn't going to give you the underlined source for it maybe you could use like you had a loved one it really was you it's not because you're right i don't give you more information just saying that i think i'm making it a source not actually asking a question you're my keiki the source i'm at it would you prefer i not give you the information theory i think that it would be best for all concerned here in the other question here when you make an allegation like that you're able to back it up
10:20 am
with something more than just because i say so. well international media have been using america's assumed evidence to round on russia gonchar to calm breaks down some of their latest moves b.b.c. russian deleted an online report by their correspondent from eastern ukraine it was recorded by olga is shana 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 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 awesome military jet fly nia everyone saw it
10:21 am
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 they were poor 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 ukrainian 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. well what c.n.n. discussed as you 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
10:22 am
it chris cuomo and artie's piddle of el became a you tube paid after a heated interview maybe you haven't been following it but the u.s. is actually coming out with a lot of its own intelligence are bad connects 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 is what a 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 state of irene is been there and really really kind of phenomenon 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
10:23 am
. 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 but those who do these are photos of the 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 the us 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 by uniting 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 got michigan or t.
10:24 am
washington d.c. . well illegal protests have landed some of russia's top opposition activists in jail to the figures are being given years behind bars for masterminding unrest in russia to find out more on our website. also online for your bride or compensation u.k. authorities of up to a million pounds to communities that agree to bury nuclear waste in their region that's all our website r.t. dot com. now the french government is being accused of jeopardizing democracy with its latest antiterrorism bill campaigners say the legislation could easily be exploited to invade people's privacy the law would allow the government to monitor anyone's online activity including emails browsing history and on line charts blocking websites something widely seen as a form of censorship would also become easy for the authorities and they would also be able to ban citizens from leaving the country if they decide their purpose of travel is terrorism jeremy zimmerman an internet freedoms activist thinks the bill
10:25 am
is outrageous. 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 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. well there are an aid is coming up next including the finance not financial headlines and also the eyebrow raising value of facebook stay with us
10:26 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 destroyers 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
10:27 am
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.
10:28 am
10:29 am
