4:05 pm
deserve a normal life. is time for everyone to recognize their violence breeds violence that the short term tactical. through a file. simply will not spiral long term that it's necessary at their own party really want. this comes just after thousands of palestinians in the west bank took to the streets to protest against the israeli military's ongoing offensive in gaza approaches quickly became violent after demonstrators marched from ramallah to the edges of jerusalem parties harry fear is in gaza the very latest. this is the 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
4:06 pm
societal level by the ongoing violence which is being of course extremely bloody and last night at least two palestinians were killed and up to two hundred injured caused these clashes resoled molotov cocktails and fire was being fired at israel for the police as well as the right troops as they responded to the school start until you guys so this is surely you can call some benchmarks of how bad things are guess in the west bank we'll see such on such an escalation of casaya literally 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 hugs 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 hotel is an area which is meant to be extremely safe in the gossip columns as you can see by the looks of things are not
4:07 pm
likely not by any means i mean obviously the only going strikes continue here in gaza yesterday we saw a bicycle it's rather nice nations run schools shelter and this was struck allegedly by israeli tanks. and i was on the southeast fifteen was 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 full of its infrastructure in gaza deliberately to try and prevent this kind of civilian object of being hit but this didn't happen and yesterday this school building was struck it was temporarily to these hundreds of thousands of in tunnels displaced as almost fifty percent of the territory of guy. it has been labeled by the israeli military effective you know goes well if you go there 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
4:08 pm
palestinians killed it was r t correspondent harry fear a massive protests in central london turkey plays today to show support for the palestinian people as artie's polly waco reports the marchers went to the u.s. embassy with a very strong message. could says the arabic word for jerusalem and this is actually and i knew a crow policies and event but organizers of this protest say that public opinion and the profile of indian community has been galvanized by that increasing civilian death toll in gaza and you get a picture just looking at the bond as the chanting and the sea of people groping for essential lines and making their way towards the american embassy and you get a picture of just how strong the pro palestinian community is and how it's come together in light of recent events now london of course has a very sizable jewish community as well some say that they feel tired of anti-semitism as
4:09 pm
a result of this conflict they say that as an assumption that all jewish people agree with the actions of the i.c.'s and this is by no means the only rally 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 there were several thousand people got those as well but in such a multicultural multi-religious temperature city this is a conflict that is touching people polarizing opinion and raising tensions who can see by the way the crowds the future amount of people that have gathered he said that london is very much expect said by the bloodshed that's taking place in the middle east reporter who runs and i'm really worried. and they've seen days of attacks between israel and gaza we've heard a lot about israel don't go system it's a missile defense apparatus that's been in operation since two thousand and eleven
4:10 pm
is deployed to intercept short range missiles and mortars with the goal of protecting civilians in the path of rockets and artillery shells israel says it's low death toll and this latest conflict is a result of the iron dome interception of rockets. fired over the border from gaza it's a system that israel has been able to develop because of have t. investments by the u.s. in fact just this week senate republicans and democrats are introducing competing bills to meet a pentagon request for an additional two hundred twenty five billion dollars in aid to the program artie's paula slayer gets a closer look at the system from the center of televisa. the longest sound the show in television we're going to join because everybody starts rushing to go towards the bomb shelter so the way to the bomb shelter is this way you can see that's a stunt that people everywhere have come out of the building no one ever showed me or people over there are walking to go towards a bomb shelter. big you had that bang that was the iron dome interceptor missile
4:11 pm
you can actually see the white smoke over there. where it lifted trailers and made that interception and some white smoke over there this just go to the edge of space the thing to do is to actually get out of a con to go to the side off the pavement and wait there they recommend the i'm done and to missile system into steps around ninety percent of records. but the fear is for the ten percent that it doesn't into sit the shows you. that even as israeli ground offensive advances so here in the center of israel in tel aviv the rockets keep flying. want to see on t.v. television. while the mood was somber at a military base in the netherlands where the bodies of seventy four victims of malaysia airlines flight m h seventeen were taken for forensic identification today thousands of people have turned out this week to line the one hundred sixty mile route where possessions of hearses have driven the coffins to the military facility
4:12 pm
the first forty coffins were flown from the crash site in ukraine on wednesday followed by seventy four more on thursday and the same number again today meanwhile a small group of dutch and australian investigators arrived at the crash site and began to sift through the wreckage their governments are now preparing to send dozens of police to the site to help protect the crash area the scene has been one of chaos in the weeks since the plane was shot down but crash investigators do have the aircraft's black box and are currently analyzing its contents results could be made available by as early as next week. well a week after eric garner died after being held in a chokehold by a new york police officer video of another man being wrestled to the ground in a similar fashion has surfaced and it's fuel to critics who say that using this
4:13 pm
outdated tactic is equivalent to attempting murder artie's honest on future going to reports. in new york yet another death after an altercation with police and asthmatic forty three year old father of six eric garner died after an officer called while being detained for allegedly selling bootleg cigarettes everybody but this is also. a moment that we didn't know witnesses say this actually occurred because eric garner broke up a fight on the street if you agree and if you. if you believe in videos gone viral the man audibly says i can't breathe at least ten times the choke hold that put on eric garner has been outlawed banned by the n.y.p.d. for twenty years but there have been one thousand complaints. several investigations into the cause of gardner's death are currently ongoing while the
4:14 pm
local community demands justice calling what happened an execution long time anti police brutality activist who claims chokeholds are much more common than the public is aware of despite being a legal this is something that is better within the code of the police department is like a trademark for them to do that is to go in somebody down and bring them down logs from the city's civilian complete review board which investigates allegations of police abuse show chokehold complaints are growing two hundred thirty three allegations involving chokeholds were recorded last year alone even after the public outreach caused by eric gardner's death another chill cold incident took place just days later as a twenty two year old was being detained for reportedly not paying a subway fare the chill cold was initially banned in new york two decades ago but shortly after and the tourist petty ultra cation led to it being used livonian police officer choked anthony by. one thousand nine hundred ninety four he choked
4:15 pm
him because his football hit police car the officer involved. it was imprisoned for seven years oh really are you hooked up across the country the practice of chokehold has gone through different stages of acceptability probably a little over thirty years ago. police agencies started daring the restraint or at least moving their. force and chain off so that they were right up there with deadly force when it shouldn't this retired l.a.p.d. captain says today about half of the agencies in the us still allow the use of so-called neck restraint holds where it is is a carotid where you do the azzurri use there are. two. sides to. the front of the wall. in order to put pressure on the broader artery
4:16 pm
and basically. our supporters of the practice say it's not deadly if used correctly and that the alternatives to the choke hold like night sticks are more dangerous causing graver injuries both to police and those being detained the cause of our garners death following the choke hold is officially get to be determined officials have promised to become my p.d. will undergo retraining and a current new detention practices still police brutality is a contentious topic in new york given that the perpetrators often seem to go unpunished therefore local and long time after that come largely was just because if you're going to party. all right we're following the three year federal investigation the new york police department has been ordered by the department of justice to overhaul its behavior the d.o.j. says it found a pattern of unconstitutional policing by the n.p.t.
4:17 pm
the review discovered a number of questionable practices that include police failing to provide sufficient constitution. evidence for about seventy five percent of pedestrian stops it also found that more than twenty percent of officers reported use of force was unreasonable and violated the constitution additionally officers assigned to narcotics again units were found to be stealing from those they arrested the investigation was launched in two thousand and eleven following a complaint filed by the american civil liberties union about the city's policing tactics as a result the city's police department will now be placed under federal supervision to ensure those changes are made. all right well european regulators are a little perturbed with the way google and other search engines are implementing a recent ruling from the european court of justice the new privacy law which launched in may had search engines scrambling to implement the new rules but now
4:18 pm
regulators are getting complaints from free speech advocates and those who want their most embarrassing moments are raced from the internet for good artes in the france explains. according to europe's top court people have a right to be forgotten by search engine results meaning that if a person feels a search for their name produces results that are out of date irrelevant or excessive they can request those results be removed by the search engine so search engines complied sort of since the law was implemented back in may these search engines handling of right to be forgotten requests from european citizens have come under fire for a variety of reasons especially google after it was revealed it was applying the privacy rules to european sites only search of google dot co dot u.k. might not show you what you want but just switch over to google dot com and that you couldn't find on someone turns up with a few keystrokes well then what's the point which is what the data protection
4:19 pm
authorities asked executives from google yahoo and microsoft this week in discussions about proper implementation of the ruling according to a report from the wall street journal sources close to the meeting disclosed that since the law took effect google received more than ninety one thousand requests for links to be removed from its search engine as of july eighteenth this covered three hundred twenty eight thousand internet addresses google rejected more than thirty percent of takedown requests regulators have two problems with this information first are those rejections justified and second is it ok that google notifies the owners of the websites removed from search results since this makes it possible to identify who the requester is the take away from the meeting the public has their critiques search engines have theirs now regulators have until the end of the month to publish guidelines on how search engines should process removal requests and very importantly how to deal with complaints from citizens over
4:20 pm
a search engines decision to refuse removal once it's uneek the twenty eight nation block will set a precedent for a person's right to be forgotten on line but could this have implications for u.s. citizens who knows but one day those party photos from college that are still brought up in your job interviews could be a thing of the past in washington lindsey france r t. the water crisis in detroit continues as thousands of people protest their right to running water and an effort to collect an estimated ninety million dollars and pass to build the detroit water department shop access to more than fifteen thousand delinquent households and with no sign that the water will be turned back on anytime soon other organizations and campaigns are cropping up to help fill in the water void artes make a lopez has the very latest. when the tap runs dry in ordinary things like brushing your teeth or washing the dishes become impossible task who do you turn to for help
4:21 pm
well for to try to residents it's anonymous donors who are paying it forward by offering to pay off water that it started off as a conversation on twitter between two women living thousands of miles apart posing the question how can i help hours later that question became the underlying concept for the detroit water project tiffany bell from oakland and christy tellme and from boston built a website to help people pledge donations we've had thirty five hundred people out there this morning that have signed up to pledge to give money i think that's pretty interesting and it's far more than we expected entirely because we just figured you know this will be some nice to pass around amongst friends and that was it but we said you know from far away countries even our dreams to the ass to help and things like that only to see that generosity no password even the folks that you know or irresponsible and things like that really says it does need help and if
4:22 pm
you have the ability to help sure why not here's how it works that's right residents go online and fill out a form with their name their address their water account information and the amount of money that they are past due now volunteers with the website verifying the account information with the city and then match them with donors who want to help donors go online and submit their e-mail addresses and also the amount of money that they are willing to pledge with two simple clicks to quickly x. and you can really help someone out the donor and then makes the payment directly to the city the money never falls directly into the hands of the detroit residents or into the water project hands itself so far the detroit water project has had four hundred people request for help and upwards of fifteen thousand dollars pledged now most of the bills are just a couple hundred bucks the biggest ones were six thousand. dollars a simple act of kindness to get water flowing once again for a family who really needs it meanwhile people for the ethical treatment of animals
4:23 pm
better known as peta is also helping out they have raised enough money to pay off their water bills for ten families but with one big condition peter will be able to pay off the water bills for ten families who commit to going regan for one month will also help them get started by giving each family a basket of healthy begin food and recipes so it's up to families to decide if they're willing to trade meat for water the tories canadian neighbors are also pitching in the winter chapter of the council of canadians brought seven hundred fifty gallons of water across the border for distribution on thursday really just a drop in the bucket when it comes to the thousands of residents who need help but organizer randy emerson called the move were some balik than anything saying quote the fact that the canadians have to come over and help americans that should have been better if the federal government or the state government or the city of detroit to either help out or to stop these water shut off now as for the city
4:24 pm
itself that is why water and sewer department offered a temporary reprieve for residents promising no new show and also for the next fifteen days they say they're giving residents a chance to come in and to work out a payment plan or to prove that they are financially incapable of making those payments but workers are still in forcing shut off to houses that they have already cut the water to the ws the workers are doing checks and properties where the water is supposed to be off to make sure that it hasn't been turned back on legally the department says that it believes as many as nine thousand properties have turned their water back on by paying people who follow the cruise around and charging residents between fifty and a hundred bucks to legally turn the water back on now if a customer is caught turning their water back on a fee of at least two hundred fifty dollars will be added on to the customers bill meaning even more debt for families who are already struggling to keep their heads
4:25 pm
