the number of palestinians killed in gaza reportedly climbs to over a thousand as more bodies are pulled from the rubble during a humanitarian truce which expires in five hours. international coming to you live from moscow. this graham phillips has been deported from ukraine and banned from entering the country for three years on the grounds that he's been working for me he's been held in captivity by the security services for three days after going missing while covering the conflict in the east his will graham told us after he was released. i mean poland i'm not even exactly sure i might just go through the border by this quite recently so i'm just kind of get my bearings way started i three days ago i went to film or at night you told me

not to go in strong terms but i went anyway with the local journalists and we were taken by ukrainian soldiers and i was prepared to be the mark of front of me i saw him getting pretty severely beaten by soldiers on the ground his head in the ground just a young guy and you're punching and kicking him and then you took him away and then i was left with a soldier that had a gun to my heads was telling me that if my details didn't check out that it wouldn't guarantee that i was going to die i was going to they've just wanted to film you know and i had a press fest or move and it's just cameras he is the soldiers are taken with him or the moms left with the song seemed. pretty intent on doing some damage but luckily they now kind of go into action situation it was shelling a day so rushed me into the building i was blindfolded. and i was sort of kind of pushed around a little bit and kind of sat down and interrogated us

a lot of questions about the next group public and it took all my things out with that they went and found my car which was parked nearby i'm going through all my things and asking lots of questions about that i would give answers would be very confidential information and put me in a cell with the team we spent the night in a cell together we you know we had the war we know toiler in a in a dark cell mr pitch black can see as they were and then the next day they dragged me out they left the there and then i asked if i was going to answer more questions and i said i wouldn't so you put me in a room next to their artillery position where they were firing so when they started firing pretty heavily from the extremes of whom i was in i was getting five dollars and i was there that over the day. and then again. the day that we had a military vehicle i could only blindfolded me again i was blindfolded for a lot of time to get into the three vehicle and took me off i didn't know it was a base somewhere in a forest and i was on my knees in the middle of

a forest soldiers around me shouting at me and i did in my car that you know to check my car. the best the next day the s.b.u. the security service ukrainian security service to me and i just had my bags a few bags and he took me off his approach and again they ask you ask you a question this is a great security service and i was put in another car taken to kiev and then today put in a band and then take it to the weirdo hole and that just don't. go well things if you buy things but i find all my talents in fact and i'm damned this really is an illusion they gave that was simply that i what it was all it said in the form and what it would let me take it or take a copy of it just said that who worked for our team it's the enemy of your band deployed a band playing three years i was going to chance to defend myself and just take. it over the other basically and then you know. so all of the things that i have tried to kind of piece my life but together so graham phillips has now been released by

ukraine security services they say he was removed from the country in the interest of national security and territorial integrity but here's what the kiev authorities were saying at the time phillips went missing after his whereabouts they said they had no information they were also adamant that the military does not detain reporters and that on the contrary at work to create safe conditions for them he is the spokesman of ukraine's security service at the time. and just you know has been taken hostage there is no information on those were boats where there is a bounty on his heard the ukrainian military don't. well as we've heard was being questioned graham says he was threatened here's what he says as part of his conversation with a ukrainian security officer. so yes because our little club designedly.

into this new area that you wouldn't know what you will carry you really don't reveal. your mug no more tickets you needed. to be happy you got to look what you thought you knew private you. would eat. eat me it would be worth. it. but i still believe in the region little bit little. while it's becoming increasingly dangerous for journalists to cover events in eastern ukraine activists are sounding the alarm over reports of being killed kidnapped and attacked now according to a survey published by the international news safety institute ukraine is now the most dangerous country in the world for journalists seven media workers have been killed that this year more than anywhere else including iraq syria and pakistan as

to why a british reporter graham phillips might have been targeted in particular we asked legal expert alexander macoris. first question that he was working for r t an eighty's or a russian television station secondly that he was broadcasting and so was attracting an english speaking audience and so that if i may say so because mr bennett is a very good journalist and was broadcasting things that the ukrainian authorities don't want the world to see and he was doing that as i said in english and that was obviously unacceptable to them so presumably they will be treating other journalists who work for other russian television stations or news media organizations in the same way i find it actually very worrying. well dutch police and investigators have arrived in eastern ukraine to examine the size of the crash of the malaysian airlines plane that came down last week killing all two hundred

ninety eight people on board well they haven't reached the scene of the tragedy yet these are pictures from the netherlands bodies of the victims have been arriving back in the country from where the fated flight departed the flight recorders are currently being examined by experts in the u.k. and the dutch safety board which is leading the international investigation expects to release its initial findings by the end of next week here in the u.s. accuse local militia of shooting down the plane claiming these were armed by russia moscow denies any involvement and demands explanations from ukraine after releasing radar data that suggests the fighter jet was in the vicinity of flight m.h. seventeen at the time of the crash. or the first family of one of the victims of the tragedy has arrived at the crash site had to r.t. dot com for updates from the area as well as the crash investigation.

at least fifteen civilians have been killed and up to sixty injured when the ukrainian army shelled that one of the hubs of resistance you may find the pictures we're about to show setting mortar shells landed in residential areas of the city of lugansk several civilians at this bus stop are among the victims blocks of flats a kindergarten and a school being used as a shelter also paid in the attack is how one eyewitness described the rebels because it took a little longer. but you know you just heard it of course. look like you would be forever. if you don't prepare for your story if you're on the other. volatile or your brother or the other where you live the other vehicle and you don't know what you're going to say look at those cute girls. we're human rights watch says the ukrainian army may have committed a war crime when it killed sixteen civilians with unguided to grad rockets and they

don't yet region. the group says the ground system is just too and accurate to be used on populated areas human rights watch is calling on both sides of the conflict to stop using this kind of weapon if they want to avoid civilian casualties one of the authors of the report says the ukrainian military should be called to account for killing civilians. neither side really seems to take enough precautions to make sure that civilians are not killed or injured and when he uses these kinds of weapons in populated areas it's a really high risk procedure libyans to be injured and killed and that's what we saw in the pitofsky district that civilians were being killed by these kinds of rockets you were able to buy in looking at the creators looking at the direction from where the rockets were coming from looking at the. walls that were hit by

these rockets so if it's if the rocket hits the western wall of the building it's coming from the west by doing that we were being it we were able to establish where the attacks were coming from in for attacks they were coming from areas under the control of the ukrainian army so in four of these attacks in the nets which killed sixteen civilians we believe that the ukrainian army was responsible for those attacks we are calling human rights watch is calling on both the ukrainian government and on separatist forces to immediately stop using grad rockets these kinds of indiscriminate weapons in populated areas and the ukrainian government should also investigate these cases where there are where there is reason to believe that we created and government forces were responsible for for the killing of civilians and both sides are denying these are granted weapons or the use of at

least the use of grad weapons in populated areas that our evidence is quite clear and the ukrainian government should investigate and should immediately stop the use of these weapons in populated areas. well anti-government forces are claiming that kiev used white phosphorous bombs during its latest shelling of done yet such bombs are banned under international law moscow meanwhile says it has proof that kiev has used a controversial weapon on at least six different occasions russia's defense ministry mostly sites attacks on the city of slavyansk which used to be a major resistance hard in the region it was almost never told by the army. but you know what we have credible evidence that force response has been used in a number of ukrainian cities this statement is based on a number of indicators which are characteristic of phosphorous going shells were falling very quickly they left brightly burning elements over a vast area massive fires erupted where the shells landed and the burning temperature was very high it also needs to be mentioned that fosters warnings used

in residential districts of cities where there were only civilians at the time meanwhile morale in ukraine's army appears to be waning soldiers were indeed on the front line so their commanders are neglecting them on the cost of reports. dozens of wounded minutes or you were able to get out from one circle means by and of forces the soldiers claim that high ranking officers read accounts the front line and if they do they tried to leave as soon as possible preferably before dark. when the was you know there was the fall of. the fall of the would you put the. millions of dollars have already been spent by kiev on its punitive action against those they call terrorists now while the countries and leadership they had ordered yes and no other

mobilization a round of its citizens into active armed forces the money stream to finance all of that still seems to be drying out he won't have the money to pay for a military operation after all because of the first duty of the army needs around seven hundred seventy five million dollars with just a week left before the first of august ski have a scrambling for support all that said punitive action in the east of the country but morale of the soldiers on the grounds and the collapsing parliament could become a barrier for their peroration star gets wrong cos or have artsy donetsk ukraine now in the past couple of hours russia's foreign ministry has released some harshly worded comments on the ukrainian crisis islam's washington claiming it bears responsibility for the conflict and its grave consequences moscow also accuses the obama administration of relying on lies to implement his foreign policy meanwhile i made the raging violence in eastern ukraine tens of thousands of people have been

fleeing according to the united nations the number of refugees has doubled since june but it's going to count reports the u.s. doesn't believe those numbers. the u.n. says two hundred fifty thousand ukrainians have left their homes in eastern ukraine since the fighting began to say department had doubted the sources of the un's previous reports on ukrainian refugees and many russians from ukraine have family in russia some may be staying with them but neither ukrainian border guards or nor international organizations operating in the area have reported any large outflows of refugees to russia but now we do colleges possibly for the first time that there is a humanitarian crisis inside ukraine i can't confirm those numbers and quite frankly haven't seen that from u.n. reports so i'm happy to fact check that for you and see if we can confirm what we think the numbers are we know there is a humanitarian crisis here in the city for him believes ukrainian military posts came under fire from the russian territory the spokesperson did not go into detail

of where such information comes from you are that artillery russian territory. military is going in yet even at your immediate military outpost but you are convinced we have seen no indication she no indication that the opposite is true that there are some encouraging while the u.s. state department says no indication that the russian territory comes on the fire from ukraine witnesses who live near the border inside russia offer a different perspective. because of lashon. yes you know not just that you. know not saying you don't know when you seem to be in uganda with them but that will stop or you know you can't have a harder with the idea which was a bit are you with us would be a sense of so that i visit. with that with that with what a lot of the it's in the true for the most part the but the much is. the u.s. is now saying that russia prepares to send powerful missile launchers into ukraine

but again does not specify what evidence such allegation is based on i can underline the information that had led to that assessment and we don't have specifics about what those. assistance might look like the outline when pressed on how officials can put out such allegations without backing them up with substantial evidence here's what she said it's not an i don't know how do you equate it with. someone i think much is more you know it's not a question of me it's a question of whether you think that you're you know we've put out a plane isn't when you put out information that we will continue to do so and it's difficult and we're happy to put out as much as we can all that appears for the state department is not so much about evidence but about trust but the fact of the matter is many journalists here don't take the officials word for it and the media is generally slanted against russia coming up big brother likes your status updates the u.s. government's been funding psychological toll experiments on facebook users and other social networks to who needs manipulation skills all the details in

on marriage in the financial world. governments cannot stop it is the only take you know to be true. in life there are good and there are but. the deaths caused by israel's onslaught on gaza has reached a hiring milestone more than a thousand victims in nineteen days the number leapt up as bodies began being recovered from the rubble during the twelve hour humanitarian truce that's under way every previous cease fire has been broken. oh israel continues of the to god's will to live very last moments before the hostilities were halted on saturday morning medics

a ton fire killed nineteen members of a palestinian family just minutes before the truce started to turn children were among the victims. there are now fears that hostilities will break out in the west bank which has been relatively calm in recent years in thank you it's been a standard fire bombs at israeli police earlier on saturday the clashes left at least nine people dead we're just more from jerusalem. in the moments immediately following the start of this truce hundreds of gazans poured into the streets they have been lining up in front of shops in the banks and a.t.m.'s withdrawing cash and stock piling on food and other emergency supplies so certainly there the fear on the ground is that hostilities in this israeli ground operation will continue and continue for some time to come this is a u.n. brokered humanitarian truce the idea is to allow u.n. aid workers in and out of gaza they are bringing with them emergency supplies such as medicines for the hospitals that have practically run out it is also an

opportunity to evacuate the injured and it's also a chance for people to believe they did what in addition to this twelve always humanitarian ceasefire there is a seven day truce that is in the pipeline this is something that has been opposed by the u.s. secretary of state john kerry he was in talks in a cairo on friday that israel has rejected me version of this proposal as a coming to a standstill what hamas is insisting on is that there is a total lifting of israel scenes on the gaza strip that israel says if there is no way that it can agree to this and also one to me to any kind of preconditions a must is also asking people who were recently arrested to be released there is a meeting in paris attended the foreign ministers of qatar and turkey to support a mass as as well. i'll be able to make a sense from person and finance and that meeting is being brokered by the u.s. secretary of state john kerry well as you just heard talks to secure a longer truce between israel and hamas have now kicked off in paris earlier we

spoke with palestinian politician and activist mustafa barghouti he says israel is thwarting the peace efforts. the first people who are asked for the cease fire were the palestinians and we asked the united nations security council to issue a cease fire. resolution it was to block the united states and the united nations security council twice when israel wanted to impose its own conditions by. having a cease fire while keeping the siege on gaza while keeping the troops inside while demanding that palestinians have no right to desist occupation this is unacceptable to me and should be a cease fire but also that should be a lifting of the sea so in reality what you see here is a struggle of people who are fighting for their freedom for the military occupation that has become the longest in modern history from a system will fall apart discrimination and segregation that is much worse one than

what prevailed in south africa. for the israeli offensive on gaza gave even more resonance to this is day which was on friday is a day used to show solidarity with the palestinian people and so hundreds of thousands of people worldwide call to end the bloodshed banners were waved blaming israel for the thousands of deaths resulting from the offensive so far in some cities angry mobs by and u.s. and israeli flags there were demonstrations in the united states latin america europe and of course many muslim countries. seems this season's must have gadget across america has one deadly application as a buying frenzy for the a k forty seven rifle because shooting shoppers fear it might soon be out of stock check out our story on our website salty dog called. google will build its new data collection project the human body it's a study that could eventually help prevent illness and disease it's.

second nature for many of us to post our status and click what we like on site such . as facebook but well over half a million users have been having their news feeds tweaked without their knowledge to gauge their reaction and manipulate it as part of a u.s. government backed psychological study and privacy groups are angry and it's not the first time when important higher explains. when the world's largest social media platform betrays its users there's going to be outrage will study to see whether facebook could influence the emotional state of its users on that news feed it allowed researchers to manipulate almost seven hundred thousand users newsfeeds some saw more positive news about their friends others saw a more negative bomb not surprised i mean we're all kind of lab rats in the big facebook experiment but it wasn't only facebook's experiment turns out the psychological study was connected to the u.s. government's research on social unrest this is really kind of creepy zero and it

gets worse what you may not know is that the u.s. department of defense has reportedly spent roughly twenty million dollars conducting studies aimed at learning how to manipulate online behavior in order to influence opinion initiative was launched in two thousand and eleven by the pentagon's defense advanced research projects agency otherwise known as darpa the program is best described as the u.s. media's effort to become better at detecting and conducting propaganda campaigns via social media translation when anti-government messages gain ground virally washington wants to find a way to spread counter opinion they want to dominate what they call the information battle space. so what they're looking at is developing methods into new techniques in order to do that and it gets very scary from the standpoint of where our rights could be violated and you know not knowing whether or receiving it

george galloway dislikes the week's news and sports next stay with us. in florida the debate over whether illegal immigrants should be able to get driver's licenses is heating up one group called the living with angels says that they should be allowed behind the wheel to support this view they use a classic argument that comes up a lot in the media they say that not a lot of people for it are legal so if you're not legal you can't have a driver's license what's with that this is like when people say well we should legalize drugs because people use them anyway or we should legalize prostitution because people will do it anyway so such i think they mean that it's everyone comes here illegally anyways we may as well let them drive so if enough people do something we currently consider illegal does that make it ok maybe sometimes but in the case of illegal immigration rolling out the red carpet for people to come to

a nation illegally just empowers more people to come and it certainly spits in the face of locals and legal immigrants who do obey the rules of bureaucracy so here i would say no driver's licenses for illegals in florida yeah there might be millions of them in the usa but that doesn't justify society bending over to make their lives comfortable if you want to drive in america be born american or become one the legal way but that's just my. well drug. dealing with this month in fossil known as we pulled a key international teams find or receive glory ultimately one holmes how much we've been to the mysterious cost of a cult classic under smokey pulls away from the park clearing the road for the robot. technology. we've done the future
