israel's own children gaza has now reached a howard milestone a little more than a thousand victims the figure led to search teams began retrieving bodies from the rubble israel continued about the gods or until the very last moment before still ities were halted on saturday morning medics a tank fire killed nineteen members of a palestinian family just minutes before the truce started and there are fears that hostilities will break out of the west by two which would be bullets of lee carmen reason is in bethlehem palestinians threw stones and fired forms of israeli police early on saturday the clashes left at least nine people dead all asleep reports. 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 or certainly the the fear on the ground is that hostilities in this israeli ground
4:03 pm
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 bury they did what in addition to this twelve hour humanitarian ceasefire there is a seven day truth that is in the pipeline this is something that has been proposed by the u.s. secretary of state john kerry he was in talks in cairo on friday but israel has rejected the version of this proposal as it currently stands what hamas is insisting on is that there was a total lifting of israel scenes on the gaza strip and israel says if there is no way that it can agree to this and it also won't agree to any kind of preconditions amasses also asking people who were recently arrested to be released there is a meeting. it's attended the foreign ministers of qatar and turkey who support
4:04 pm
a mass as well as high level delegations from pushkin and france and that meeting is being broken body u.s. secretary of state john kerry but i must mention that aside from all this kind of diplomatic flurry that is happening the tensions on the ground are extremely high and polish spoke to palestinian politician activist mr of a good to you told me that israel should be held responsible for to the peace efforts the first people who are for the cease fire were the palestinians and we asked the united nations security council to issue a cease fire. resolution it was israel that blocked the united states and the united nations security council twice then is that i wanted to impose its own conditions by. by having a ceasefire while keeping the siege on gaza while keeping their troops inside while demanding that palestinians have no right to desist occupation this is unacceptable
4:05 pm
what palestinian 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 of apartheid and discrimination and segregation that is much worse one what done what prevailed in south africa. has been proposed to do demonstrations worldwide with hundreds of thousands of people calling for an end to the bloodshed protests hold on saturday in paris even to violence. i think. i clashed with police who fired tear gas to disperse them called the protest and sanctions thousands also marched in london waving banners with slogans blaming israel for the thousand plus deaths resulting from the offensive so far the protests came after the annual day of solidarity with the palestinians known as old could day in some cities angry mobs burned u.s. and israeli flags the rallies in the united states latin america europe and many

4:09 pm
bearings and get things back together after what was a deal. heavy for their toes for him to say the least well for their part ukraine's security services say they removed grove phillips from the country in the interests of national security and territorial integrity but let's remind ourselves what the kiev authorities said at the time that he went missing if you're watching twenty four forty eight hours ago you'll know. his whereabouts they said they have no information at the time they're also adamant that the military does not detain reporters and they went on to say on the contrary they work to create safe conditions for them in fact here's what a spokesman from ukraine security service said at the time. you know it's been to an ostrich there's no information on those were boats were there is a drone two hundred heard ukrainian military don't journalists. well as we've heard was being questioned graham says he was threatened his what he says is part of his conversation with the ukrainian security officer. so yes because our little club. night into this new years if you wouldn't agree with me on what your
4:10 pm
role in me really don't we'll get to them with. your mom who has a million or more just because i thought the whole thing needed. for you to appear only you could throw in the for youth of the new guy that you can do to you when you. do you think you are with an easy thing to do anything but. what he. did. but i still believe you want to know who wasn't even a little bit more for me. for the bigger picture here it's become increasingly dangerous for journalists to cover the events in eastern ukraine activists have been sounding the alarm of reporters being killed kidnapped and attacked there according to a survey published by the international news safety institute ukraine is now the most dangerous country in the world for journalistic carrier doing their jobs seven media workers have been killed there this year more than anywhere else in fact
4:11 pm
including iraq syria and pakistan as to why british reporter graham phillips might have been targeted in particular here though legal expert alexander mccurry us first question that he was working for ati and eighty sir russian television stations simply that he was broadcasting. and so was attracting an english speaking audience and the sixto because this is a very good journalist and it 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 our journalists who work for other russian television stations or news media organizations in the same way i find it actually very worrying. police investigators have arrived in eastern ukraine to examine the site of the
4:12 pm
crash of the malaysian airlines plane that came down last week killing all two hundred ninety eight people aboard although they haven't reached the scene of the tragedy yet these are pictures now from the netherlands more planes care of the bodies of the victims recovered from the scene of the tragedy a rug over an airport m.h. seventeen's flight recorders are currently being examined by experts in the united kingdom and the dutch safety board which is leading the international investigation expected to release its initial findings by the end of next week the u.s. accuses local militia of shooting down the boeing claiming they were armed by russia moscow denies any involvement and is demanding explanations indeed from ukraine after releasing radar data suggesting a fighter jet was in the vicinity of flight m.h. seventeen at the time of the crash so. the first family of one of the victims of m.h. seven teams now arrived to crash site the couple to pay tribute to the twenty five year old daughter who was among the passengers on the flight or website timeline of
4:13 pm
events surrounding the crash plus the latest of the ongoing crash investigation. coming up the u.s. comes up with fresh accusations against russia of involvement in ukraine but still fails to present any evidence. i can underline the information they have but today . after the break there was a report of a mounting pressure on washington to back up its. back. is the root of all easy. money is the root of all crashes every what to what school is want to sell. to help poor. people who are women but they're going to leak to change their life
4:14 pm
and nobody's trying to make money out of them those who want to make money out of them by. the time the whole thing into law is shocking to ditch and we're all forced to look. dramas that can't be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. faces changing the world right. the picture of today's lives. from around the globe. look to. me.
4:15 pm
there's no letup in the deadly fighting in east ukraine with more than two hundred fifty civilians killed in the last two months in the city of lugansk alone in the most recent attack the government shelling resulted in at least nineteen civilian deaths because we want some of the pictures coming out now about to show your graphic. mortar shells landing here in residential areas of that city several civilians of this bus stop ramana victims blocks of flats a kindergartner school being used in the shelter but all also hit in the attack here's how one eyewitness described it because it took. almost all. of you just heard an awful. look like two or three to five. for you to perform for you the story who did this are you never. bothered to show your love for the thug or the movie the other way you live the other one you don't know what you want to give what you heard was killed others those killed. in other developments human rights watch says the korean army may have committed a war crime when it killed sixteen civilians with unguided grad rockets in the
4:16 pm
donetsk region the group says the grad system is just too an accurate to be used on populated areas human rights watch is calling for this kind of weapon not to be used 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 you use these kinds of weapons in populated areas it's a really high risk for civilians 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 we were able to buy in looking at the creator's 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 we were able to establish where the attacks were
4:17 pm
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 a 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 ukrainian government forces were responsible for for the killing of civilians and both sides are denying the use of granite weapons or the use of at least the use of private weapons in populated areas. that our evidence is quite clear and the ukrainian government
4:18 pm
should investigate and should immediately stop the use of these weapons in populated areas furthermore to give more forces a claim of the kid have used banned white phosphorous bombs during its latest shelling of the nets the posted this video of the alleged attack online which hasn't been independently verified moscow meanwhile says it has proof that has used the controversial weapon or at least six different occasions russia's defense ministry played there a number of indicators which a characteristic of phosphorous bombs kiev is denying these allegations earlier we got the thoughts of british army officer charles shoe bridge. it shows many of the characteristics one would associate with white phosphorus use in particular it looks like it's an air device that's to say it's been delivered by mortars or artillery or props in aircraft it covers quite some substantial areas you can see by the time it reaches the ground and also you've got this very characteristic. features of breaking into very small very bright burning particles which as indeed military spokespeople elsewhere have commented upon in iraq today say that it falls
4:19 pm
very quickly to the ground this is a fair some device white phosphorus will burn it intense heat will burn right through to the bone it's it can't be put out by using water and if civilians are in the air it's on my sense of course widespread damage as well as fear and of course very serious injuries if it can be proved that white phosphorus has been used against either civilian targets or in an area where it's very likely civilians will be harmed there could well be repercussions in terms of crimes actions for example ukraine is indeed a signatory to the convention the u.n. convention which governs the use of in sentry weapons was four months since the start of the military operation in ukraine morale in the army seems to be waning soldiers wounded on the front line say their commanders in neglecting them remain concert reports next. dozens of wounded military were able to get out from
4:20 pm
encircled mines by and forces the soldiers claim that high ranking officers read it come to the front line and if they do they tried to leave as soon as possible preferably before dark you know they're the. soup of the winds the is. the are the one with the. shut the fuck the wood you want 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 another mobilization a round of its citizens into active armed forces the money stream to finance all that still seems to be dry announced he won't have the money to pay for military operation after all because of the first duty of the army needs around seven hundred seventy five million dollars with just
4:21 pm
a week left before the first of august ski of 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 parishioners targets are among cos are of artsy don't ask you crane. russia's foreign ministry is releasing harshly worded comments on the ukrainian crisis it slams washington as partial responsibility for the conflict and its grave consequences most schools accuses the obama administration of relying on lawyers to implement its foreign policy meanwhile tens of thousands of people have been fleeing eastern ukraine amid the raging violence according to the united nations the number of refugees is doubled since june what is going to change it can reports next the u.s. doesn't believe the 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
4:22 pm
a family in russia and may be staying with them but neither ukrainian border guards or nor international organizations operating in the area have boarded any large outflows of refugees to russia but now we just call that is possibly for the first time that there is a humanitarian crisis inside ukraine i can't confirm those numbers i quite frankly haven't seen that from a u.n. report 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 at the state department 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 in that artillery russian territory is hitting the military is going in yet even at your immediate military outpost but you are convinced you see no indication she no indication that the opposite is true that ukrainians are serving her while the u.s. state department says no indication that the russian territory comes under fire
4:23 pm
from ukraine witnesses who live near the border inside russia offer a different perspective yes you know not just that you. know nothing you don't know when you seem to be in uganda with them but that will stop or you know you can't disregard all of the other kinds of cherry blossom the dark soon. the idea which was a bit are you with us would be a sense of the bit i because it's a very much better book to the woodward of what it is than the true but for the most part the with them which is. the u.s. is now saying that russia prepares to send power for missile launchers into ukraine but again does not specify what evidence such allegation is based on i can underline the information they had led to that assessment and we don't have specifics about what those systems might look like to 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 that i don't. think. it's not
4:24 pm
a question. it's a question of whether you can you know we've put out a claim isn't when you put out information that we will continue to do so it's difficult and we're happy to put out as much as we can all that appears for the state department it's not so much about evidence but about trust but the fact of the matter is many journalists here do take the official's word for it and the media is generally slanted against russia. britain's daily mirror tabloid newspapers be left red faced off of fact checking putting together friday's front page the paper published a cover photo saying it was of the russian president and his daughter well the story claimed that she'd fled the netherlands but in fact the woman next to vladimir putin turns out of no connection we were all she's in fact a lawyer who was working for russia's federal agency for youth affairs at the time the picture was taken we managed to to speak. it was a nice sunny day the president was walking on my left so i remembered that day but
4:25 pm
that photo was taken by chance in two thousand and eight someone posted it on the internet without checking the facts it's strange that now a media organisation with such a big name has decided to use it. if you just joined us just a recap of twenty five past midnight moscow time of our breaking news story a mass is objective for extension of a truce with israel the group also claimed responsibility for three rockets fired into israel territory minutes after the previously agreed cease fire expired the humanitarian break was agreed on to allow aid supplies in and to recover the wounded and dead foreign ministers from the u.s. europe in the middle east held emergency talks in paris and live called for the truce to be prolonged for a week developing story of course of huge importance we'll keep you posted on it throughout the night coming up next after the break technology update on our team to national with all the latest gadgets and gizmos and discoveries new from the u.k. max and stacey's here a look at whether the world's on the brink of another financial crisis and its
4:26 pm
selection of our next programs. 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 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. sometimes but in the case of illegal immigration rolling out the red carpet for people to come to
4:27 pm
a nation illegally just empowers war 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 of the legal way but that's just my opinion.
4:28 pm
hello and welcome to technology updates will cops over but if you think you've seen the end of countries going head to head in the heat think again because we can check out the national teams looking for racing glory here in boston oh no. but first glance the cuts alone you capital seems more touristy than tacky but it looks can be deceiving already home to the world's largest mobile tech conference in two thousand and thirteen barcelona became the birthplace of the smarts moto challenge where it seems of engineering students from around europe came to the city to pitch bikes against each of those before grueling days i'm glassed year participants were left eating the dust from bush's make one. name just to make koreans famous make one fighter the bike was designed and built by the moscow state university of mechanical engineering. also known as mommy and the university's jungle are very used to theory from the classrooms could that see out on the track
