1:01 pm
just joined us for a good evening i'm kevin are we in first tonight muslims for the world marking international could stay it's traditionally used to express solidarity with the palestinian people and this year most of the banners in the streets are denouncing israeli aggression in gaza protesters in iran were chanting anti israel slogans and burning the country's flag in the capital tehran the rally was attended. president similar scenes were witnessed today across india too with thousands of muslims marched in support of palestine and held prayers there was a high turnout in london from where poly boy reports. the arabic was recently and right thing and then again i know this is
1:02 pm
a public opinion and nothing in community has been galvanized by that increasing civilian death toll in gaza there. you get a picture just looking at the banners the trancing and the sea of people groping for a sensual lunch and making their way towards the american embassy and you get a picture of just how strong the crew palestinian community is and how it's come together in light of recent events now london is cause has a very sizable jewish community as well some say that they feel the tide of anti-semitism as a result of this conflict may saying that there's an assumption that all jewish people agree with the actions of the i.c.'s and this is by no means the only rallied to take place in london over the course of the conflict just several days ago huge progress raining much for the center of the capital where that was several
1:03 pm
thousand people gathered as well but in such a multicultural multi-religious fact it's a city this is a conflict that is touching people polarizing opinion and raising tensions who can see by the way the crowds the huge amount of people that have gathered there that london is very much a state said by the bloodshed that's taken place in the middle of this reporter who runs and i really like a. human rights activist who is out but london rally told us the people in the west are willing to protest loudly against the violence unlike the government's. the overwhelming majority of people are really feeling the pain of the palestinians they really understand that this is use 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
1:04 pm
a whole in the west are totally biased they're trying to equate. sort of palestinian suffering with the needs and aspirations of israelis and i think this is a disparity and this is why people are coming in thousands and millions in the streets to say enough is enough arabs have also been protesting in israel the rally in jerusalem ended in clashes with police several dozen people were arrested after throwing rocks at the israeli offices they responded with tear gas water cannon his middle east correspondent paula slip. the situation here on the ground amongst israel's arab population is extremely honest how on friday there were demonstrations here in east jerusalem not far from the oxer mosque after people prayed and here the israeli forces are now the only men over the age of fifteen to enter the mosque protesters started throwing stones and rocks at israeli police responded with crowd control measures now this tension has been simmering for quite
1:05 pm
some time so we are likely to see the kind of anger that exists amongst israel's roughly one million arab population bubble to the surface it's not limited only to inside israel on thursday night at the kalandia checkpoint between jerusalem and ramallah dozens of palestinians have been a wasted day we did have the throwing of stones the burning of tires and the tensions are running high on israel's border at the moment the feeling on the ground is that the gaza operation will continue and at the same time will continue to encourage anger and dissent from among these populations r.t. east jerusalem. and the production ten thousand palestinian protesters took to the streets in ramallah in the west bank voicing their anger at the violence in gaza that ended in clashes with israeli soldiers which left for protesters dead and dozens wounded refuse in gaza for us closely following the situation. this is the
1:06 pm
largest rally we've seen in the west bank of course 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 that these clashes resoled 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 ass strike about six hundred meters directly behind where i am now within about five seconds of that strike being visibly
1:07 pm
a piece of shrapnel that i'm holding my hand right here it's bunting 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 gaza concepts so you can see that of course things are not likely not by any means there is some unconfirmed news that hamas may accept united states secretary of state john kerry's proposal for a cease fire that's not yet confirmed and obviously the ongoing strikes continue here in gaza well yesterday we saw a very significant instance where united nations run school was being used as a shelter and this was struck allegedly by israeli tank fire in one way or another we understand that at least fifteen with killed including two children and united nations stop 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.
1:08 pm
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 you know it goes if you go there you might feel as though the situation continues to be dangerous even in the safest areas of gaza as the body count continues to rise now over eight hundred palestinians killed. and i fear there for us will calls for an end to the violence to be just as loud online and in the literally heartfelt way this photos hash tag is trending right now jews and arabs refuse to be enemies it was launched by a u.s. couple with a mixed arab jewish background where beauty is quickly picked up on to respond with dozens more pictures and stories of love and friendship between arabs and jews for example this woman has got a jewish mother and a palestinian father she tweeted whatever we suffer makes it worse.
1:09 pm
the whereabouts of a british journalist who disappeared in east ukraine three days ago remain unknown tonight but a fellow reporter who was with graham phillips when the pair were abducted was released and told me that both been beaten ridiculous because sums up what details are known. 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 hospital he was released by ukrainian military on thursday and this is how he described what has happened to them. from a group of men i followed and that's when we were ambushed they put bags over our heads. we were put in a car. firstly put in a kind of cell together but we would like to separated they started. screaming and i was screaming horrible. they were trying to western ukraine.
1:10 pm
has mentioned they're both him and ground 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. 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 to checkpoint by national guard and then transferred over to ukraine security services overall of course ukraine remains one of the most in fact is the e-mails to dangerous place for journalists specified by the international news
1:11 pm
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 pre to. they have not been let into the country and of course there's been a lot of international outcry on the subject matter and judging by the fact that graham phillips along with their several other journalists is still missing and his fate is largely unknown obviously the situation with journalists in ukraine remains nice to be desired the hashtag save graham phillips is getting momentum on twitter users are urging the release of the british journalist and the protection of others working in ukraine international organizations to wearing in the media freedom representatives condemned the continuing abduction of journalists least ukraine is calling for search intimidation to end immediately. just when ukraine needs some solid leadership those in power of put the country into
1:12 pm
political paralysis the ruling coalitions collapsed parliament could be dissolved the prime minister says he's quit or the deputy still haven't heard his resignation letter for them to vote on lawmakers now i've got a choice that either forge a new majority group or get ready for early elections and judging by the state of the economy there is no time to procrastinate either here is fast running out of cash developing a much needed reforms and focusing its energies on the military operation still ongoing in the east plus ukraine says the loans promised by the e.u. will not be enough for europe itself is hesitating over the funds already set aside and spoke to political science professor petro he 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
1:13 pm
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 dispersed 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. other developments in ukraine a group of russian investigators have come under shelling on the russia ukraine border moscow's investigative committee says the shells were fired deliberately from ukrainian territory a total of forty seven of them were in khost service in the region for us. well the investigative committee personnel were wearing uniforms so they could not have been mistaken for anyone else and while they were scouring the area another two russian border checkpoints had been shelled as well and the nearby residential areas too apparently six houses had been damaged and one person in fact had been injured this
1:14 pm
is not the first time that russian territory is being shelled previously one russian border guard was injured and one civilian was killed as a result sell for ukrainian army shell and now russia had demanded for ukraine to stop artillery fire and shelling against its territory but it continues in any case meanwhile ukrainian army is using all the means available and necessary to fight against that restive regions here in eastern ukraine you and i already said that's at least two hundred thousand people have been displaced as the result of that half of them have fled to a nearby russian nearly five hundred people have been killed by the ukrainian military since this punitive operation that so-called and its era separation began against the rest of regions here in eastern ukraine. eastern ukraine homes a blaze cars riddled with bullets this is what the locals here i've been waking up
1:15 pm
to the day after day for the past several weeks and the human cost of the sustained government assault has been steadily rising but you need us children to join me in a new way to. you know maybe change your book but you know you know you see it 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 from me is not. really been hiding here for two months the ready sharing can start any time so mine and i went outside some woods and it was a. cool that we survived we had to hide from shells this plane to behind. every single moment we're free to do i don't netsky is one of ukraine's largest cities homes a million people many called in the crossfire between and fighters who have made
1:16 pm
the city this from bold and government forces the ukrainian authorities pledged to continue their onslaught so ruled out what it calls terrorists among them but that means locals here have a long soft fights of their own kind of them don't know it's the largest city in the sand ukraine was once full of life and accommodated the locals and for interest only a couple of years ago it welcomes thousands of football fans to the european football championships now however it's lowered its 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 call center of arts a donetsk ukraine coming up the latest on the investigation into the malaysian airliner crash in ukraine in the reporting of the victims' bodies. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here are not in here in iraq other big story
1:17 pm
that have turned out like the same time there's a reason they don't want an arab or. now let's break the set. we chased profit very large very attractive and now very globally recognized source of oil for the world into the world's cheapest and best petroleum deposits have been mined out we have to use more energy to get this energy industry grow like a cancer each of these. ten kilometers square. and get all. the sleep. that's her drinking water that's our world so everything fishery we can't stop this is the what it takes. to make one.
1:18 pm
you know you're at the bottom. and that's where we're at. each you. logan eighteen minutes past nine at night here in moscow now two more planes carrying victims from flight m.h. seventeen of landed on hovan military airport in the netherlands the last bodies will be sent from ukraine on saturday the remains are now being transported to a military base for examination and i think it's thought that model war victims 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 and several theories about what could have brought down the malaysian plane of emerge since the disaster now the latest a source in the ukrainian military says anti air defense trills taking place at the time with the crash may be to blame here of those denying any such exercises ever
1:19 pm
happened. also having their say in what happened has been america's intelligence community they accuse un to government fighters of doubting the play by mistake but also admit that most of their evidence comes from social networks and for journalists at state department briefings that's just 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 could point us to that i mean you know anyone just wondering if you what it is i just said i wasn't going to give you the underlined source for it maybe you could use like you know to love me working its magic you're sure i don't give you more information just say no i think making it a source not actually asked you a question here mike a gave you the source and i think we should refrain not give you the information theory i think that it would be best for all concerned here in
1:20 pm
the other question you know you make an allegation like that you're able to back it up with something more than just because i say so. international media is producing america's assumed evidence to round on russia have got into account some of the latest moves. 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 which she took the photo showing the rising plume of smoke which the ukrainians intelligence service provided as evidence of where the missile was launched 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 rocketing of 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 neah
1:21 pm
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.b.c. . some journalists have taken sides to the point that when the ukrainian president said this ukrainian nation now are united we don't have any conflicts inside ukrainian he was not picked up on it even as pictures and video pour in a few war 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 machine for all the talk about propaganda which by definition is you know misinformation i would say russia's when
1:22 pm
it chris cuomo and artie's piddle of bell became a you tube page after a heated interview maybe you haven't been following it but the u.s. is actually coming out with a lot of its own intelligence back connex what happened i'm age seventeen to the acts of russian militants and perhaps of the involvement of russia in either training equipping or maybe even assisting while one misses what a horrible operation friendly 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 very really really kind of charming out there we flip and divide 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 newsweek
1:23 pm
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 editor 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 as judge and jury and simplifying a complex situation by focusing on just one person going to shutdown or t.
1:24 pm
washington d.c. well the lack of conclusive evidence to explain the fate of a made seventeen doesn't stop the e.u. either from expanding sanctions on russia following the united states lead brussels is now added fifteen people in eighteen companies to the blacklist of its own people all over next them on what the new measures include. what we've seen is a medic's tension to the list of names that sanctions have been imposed on these sanctions will take the form of of visa bans asset freezes in some cases but they're individually targeted sanctions is really the current law that says be new greed on terror targets and urged to fifteen individuals and eighteen companies and these are wide ranging sanctions that some in europe had been calling for in the united states and hoped that europe would push forward with particularly in europe david cameron the british prime minister pushing for further sanctions also here in the netherlands that there had been calls for further sanctions as well we haven't
1:25 pm
seen that yet this is just something that shows the the over symbiotic relationship between the the russian economy and the economies of those nations in europe when they try to impose any real reaching economic sanctions against russia european nations economies are going to suffer at the hands of their own sanctions so with that that's what we've seen so far we're expecting further talks on sanctions next week though but for now just more individual sanctions and an expanding of the list show from the association of european businesses and the russian federation explains why the you can't afford to for sanctions. the decision making with her got so restrictive measures from the start of the european union seems to be much more cautious than the american one if you compare let's say statistics russia has about fifty percent of its foreign trade with the european union while it's less than five percent for us and if you talk about form direct investments more than fifty percent of foreign direct investments come from european sources and less than ten percent from the u.s.
1:26 pm
so they certainly also not the quantity of food but also a qualitative difference between two. kevin i would think should be without international news here after the break. 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 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
1:27 pm
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.

warning shots in the air to keep her abusive husband at baby 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 him sixty years of the crime is 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 however last month for the governor rick scott added a so-called morning. revision of the stand your ground statute meaning alexander's defense could argue that revision applies to retroactively if they're successful in winning her second hearing because there is no doubt alexander was standing her ground during the previous trial police records demonstrated that alexander's husband had a long history of abusing her in fact he himself testified that he had not only beaten her but all of his girls.
