a residential area comes under heavy fire. and human rights watch urges kiev to stop using unguided rockets in east ukraine which have already claimed numerous innocent lives saying this could amount to war crimes. very good morning to money kevin owen thanks for being with us i must just mention the masses resumed rocket fire into israel of projecting a proposal to prolong saturday's humanitarian truce the four hour extension offered by israel has now ended bringing a day long to speak to an end. these were recovered from the ruins during the pause there bringing the palestinian death toll to over a thousand but the catch up with our middle east correspondent paula slee a little bit later would still try to make
5:02 pm
a connection with the at the moment we hope to get to for the latest in a minute or two is time the time i spoke to a palestinian politician activist a stuff about good he told me that israel should be held responsible for forcing the peace efforts the fairest people who are asked for a cease fire with the palestinians and we asked the united nations security council to issue a cease fire. resolution it was israel that blocked the through the united states and the united nations security council twice then israel wanted to impose its own conditions by. by having a cease fire while keeping the siege on gaza while keeping their troops inside and while demanding that palestinians have not died to desist occupation this is unacceptable and what palestinians did should be a cease fire but also there should be a lifting of the seat so in reality what you see here is a struggle of people who are fighting for their freedom for the military occupation
5:03 pm
that has become the longest in modern history from a system of apartheid and discrimination and segregation that is much worse one what than what prevailed in south africa. there's been pro palestinian demonstrations nationwide with hundreds of thousands of people calling for an end to the bloodshed protests held on saturday in paris even turned violent. i approach clashed with police who fired tear gas to disperse them calling to protest and sanction thousands also marched in london waving banners with slogans played against israel for the thousands plus deaths resulting from the offensives of the protests came after the annual day of solidarity with the palestinians known as goods day in some cities angry mobs burned u.s. and israeli flags there were rallies in the united states that america europe and many muslim countries. i. mentioned just now but
5:04 pm
the truce that has just ended between the palestinians and the israelis let's get the latest on this and talk to our correspondent paul asli appall or tell us a little bit about this prolonged twelve truce it's now ended as a say it doesn't look like it's going to be extended that i've been called to extend it for a week but it's far from that of the moment isn't it. it certainly is far from over as you say there was this initial twelve hour you have broken two mandatory and truce that both sides of here two for most of saturday it was then discussion about extending it for a further four hours and those four hours have now ended but even that extension did see some hostilities there were mixed messages coming from hamas initially they said that they would opposite of the four hour extension later they said they would not there were around a dozen rockets that were fired at israel in those four hours these sirens have
5:05 pm
been sounding and they continue to sound by now in the south and the same tone of the country now the israeli security cabinet was scheduled to hold a meeting to discuss whether or not to extend the cease fire for another twenty four hours it doesn't seem as if that is going to happen we are likely to see a resumption of hostilities on both sides the infighting on saturday was an opportunity for gazans to return to their homes we did see many people going back to salvage whatever they could whether it was close whether it was food or whether it was simply just to lock their homes and assess the damage within minutes of the initial ceasefire being dictated thousands of gazans took to the streets they were lining up in front of a.t.m.'s in front of banks and they were withdrawing cash so that they could simply stop on suit so the mood on the ground is one that an emergency situation is unfolding people are very panicked and not only aid workers
5:06 pm
who requested this humanitarian ceasefire that they could bring much needed supplies into the gaza strip but it was also an opportunity for people to bury their dead or voters burials had to have been very very quickly for the worrying over the last twenty four so the trouble could erupt any time when the words burn. so i think what we witnessing is violence spilling over i'm here in the east jerusalem city and there are thousands of policemen right now who have been deployed in the event that the underlying tensions could bubble to the surface we did see that happening already on thursday and on friday there were at least ten thousand palestinians who clashed with israeli security police and border control at the kalandia checkpoint which is the main checkpoint between the west bank city of ramallah and jerusalem there were at least two palestinians who were killed i'm not far from the axe a mosque up not far from the old city and here to one fine day tensions were
5:07 pm
running very very high what we witnessing is sentiments coming out of west are of east jerusalem and from the palestinian areas that are very very supportive unsurprisingly of gazans and very critical of this israeli operation in talking to people on the ground we are warning that this could be the start of a third intifada the concern is that if this diplomatic activity doesn't yield in results soon in terms of what is happening in gaza not only will the situation there is great but we could see a deterioration of the situation here inside israel and certainly inside the west bank all this leave from oh thank you for the. christian is greg phillips has been deported from ukraine and banned from the country three years on the grounds that he's been working for held in captivity by the security services for three the last word we heard from him it must be said was
5:08 pm
a message saying all was fine but graham's now in poland he told his wife was unable to get in touch for a few days to a. they were sending messages from my phone that message that you go r.t. saying all these fine i didn't i didn't send that message they were going through my messages asking me about every single message who sent this to you who is this person how do you know this person was put in a room next to an artillery position that they were firing heavily from that was being fired on i was kept in a cellar was detained along with another journalist for dean who was beaten in front of me i saw soldiers you know kick him in the face and then a soldier said if you can confirm my details and he couldn't guarantee that i was going to live i was blindfolded kept in a cell without water or toilet facilities and then we were separated i was interrogated i was interrogated all day i was called a terrorist i was told i had a russian passport i was a russian spy they were telling me all day that i had entered ukraine through
5:09 pm
ukraine and entered it through russia it's all completely completely false they were accusing me of working for terrorists all of these accusations and interrogations and then they took my computer they took my things and i've just go are just recently been released and i was on the train to warsaw coming from the polish border and i just recently discovered that the now all of my accounts are going to happen so i want you to recount my e-mail account my you tube account which is obviously money in livelihood someone's deleted two thousand videos from back to every single account i have facebook contact the time that ukrainian forces have had my computer it was held by the s.p. use well they've taken out they've stripped all the passwords basically be attacked and i'm just fighting now to try and get my life back i mean being kicked out of the country of ukraine my car was taken by the ukrainian military my money was taken my bullet proof vest i've been deported from a country i own a flat in told i'm an enemy of the state when all i ever did there was report the
5:10 pm
news which report the truth and i've been told i've been obviously banned from for three years kicked out of the border and then i've been cyberattack so basically you know my entire life has been has been taken apart i mean thankfully i'm alive and as you can see how effective your. shell shocked by the whole experience just trying to get my bearings and get things back together after what was an ordeal. as you would well as we've heard was being questioned graham says he was threatened here's what he says as part of his conversation with ukrainian security officer. serious cazalet designedly. into this on anyone if you wouldn't do me or what do. we really don't know we'll. bring you. more just like what we wanted needed. to operate normally you. would you thirdly a new guy that you seem to think you are. going into which he put me to do
5:11 pm
anything that would be what he. did. but i still didn't want to. read it. mr mean. definitely not a pleasant place to be. political analyst patrick henningsen joins is now to give us some insight on the arrest and deportation of graham phillips either patrick before we have a chat about this and what was behind the ukraine security service just about twenty four hours ago said point blank they do not arrest detain journalists let's listen let's take it from there. i know it's been taken hostage there is no information on those were boats or whether there is a bounty on his heard the ukrainian military don't apprehend journalists. well that's the official line anyway patrick so if they don't apprehend journalist
5:12 pm
detain journalists protect journalists whatever you want to call it what will they do with graham. well firstly they should know graham phillips by now because this is not the first time that he's been detained by the s.b.u. the ukrainian officials but i think they're very nervous in the ukraine because they do not want information to escape the type of information that graham phillips is reporting about the true nature of the conflict what we have is clearly a civil war by anyone's definition except for the western media and told titian's in europe in the united states are still calling it as the government in kiev is an anti terror operation meanwhile civilians are being targeted that's the very thing that they're graham phillips is trying to relate to the world we must say at this point all he was doing was working for us on a free lance bass is it was me working as a stuff i'm a big problem seem to be that was working for you were a global broadcast in english crucially from russia yeah that's the only thing he's
5:13 pm
done we've seen. well you know information and the truth are you know the first casualties of war especially in twenty first century where there's never been more of a variety or plurality of opinion or alternative english language news outlets like r t so they want to control information getting out of the theater of war and i think kiev has learned from the best washington and the u.s. state department have a lot of practice in doing this with embedded journalists and some of the policies of come in through afghanistan and iraq only in recent years so freedom of the press internationally is something i think it's something of the past if you look at the behavior of this government and also even america for that matter end of the day doesn't matter who is working for is a british citizen with a british passport are you surprised britain has to say more about this you're not surprised by a not this is the moral relativism that seems to have taken over
5:14 pm
a western politicized approaches to conflicts clearly this is a proxy war let's not kid ourselves britain in the united states especially running very aggressively on point for this proxy war as as was the case with syria so they're not going to uphold to sort of standards that are a spouse by international rights groups and press groups and even the government themselves when they're trying to lecture the world on what are the values of a democratic society we're not seen just briefly is this a thing on the wedgwood journalist going to be expelled because ukraine doesn't lie well they're saying i suppose there are many other russian brokaw's that broadcasting english except for a while are we going to see more of it. i think we're going to i think this looks like a policy out of. transparency is something they're clearly not very good at it's been hiding cover ups right from the beginning of this crisis right all the way back to february to the mite on so why should we expect anything different right
5:15 pm
now i think it's really up for it. this sort of behavior here and it sends a very negative message out the world in terms of what our expectations are i'm afraid that people's expectations are lowering as a result of the over politicization of these types of proxy wars that are being waged by the west typical analyst patrick henningsen francs for your time on the program tonight. dutch police investigators arrived meantime in eastern ukraine to examine the site of the crash of the malaysian airlines plane that came down last week killing all two hundred ninety eight aboard although they haven't reached the scene of the tragedy yet and these are the pictures from the netherlands war planes carrying the bodies of the victims recovered from the scene of the tragedy that arrived at eindhoven airport and make seventeen flight recorders are currently being examined by experts in the united kingdom and the dutch safety board which is leading the international investigation expects to

5:17 pm
if that's not after the break the report of the mounting pressure on washington to buy. cup it's obligations it's the facts. tell money is the root of all easy pickens and money is the root of all crashes for once every dumb dumb ass but to what fool is want to sell. a government system just to help poor people poor women but they can only change their life and nobody's trying to make money out of them those who want to make money out of them by misusing government concept time the whole thing and to launch a conviction and get all forced to move shut. dramas the chance to be ignored to. stories others who refuse
5:18 pm
to notice. the faces change the world writes never. on food picture of today's leaves my own designs from around the globe. dropped. to fifty. well we've been in the break here are commit bring you some updating news on the ongoing problems in israel and palestine some breaking news just in israel where it is approved a twenty four hour extension now to that cease fire was massive now and at midnight sunday local time a massive resumed rocket fire into israel after rejecting a previous proposal to prolong saturday's humanitarian truce the earlier four hour extension offered by israel ended just fifteen minutes ago over one hundred bodies
5:19 pm
have been recovered from the ruins during the polls bringing the palestinian death toll to go over thousands of just to recap that again it's been a day of truce is worries about whether they'll hold extensions but now the latest we're hearing is that israel has approved a twenty four hour extension of the cease fire with a mass that will now end it midnight sunday local time all eyes on whether that will indeed hold. the everything. 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 new guns go alone in the most recent attack the government shelling resulted in at least nineteen civilian deaths is be warned some of the video coming up now is graphic mortar shells landed in residential areas of the city several civilians at this bus stop were among the victims blocks of flats a kindergarten a school being used as
5:20 pm
a shelter all also hit in the attack here's how one eyewitness described the carnage. for all the. religious burden of trouble you. look like you would you favor. would you talk more for you the story to do this over. was more beautiful or your ready for each other where you live the other level and you can hear that what you want to get what you meant was no good as those do. in other developments human rights watch says new creating army may have committed a war crime when it killed sixteen civilians with unguided grad rockets in the donetsk region the group says the grad system is just too inaccurate 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 civilian killings. neither side really seems to take enough precautions to make sure that civilians are not killed
5:21 pm
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 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 a building it's coming from the west by doing that we were being 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 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
5:22 pm
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 credit 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 meantime the picture now for that continues unabated in donetsk with kiev force advancing to the outskirts of the city civilians are fleeing the area in the droves and then you have doesn't yet need you on this reading yet you join us near the. regions seen sustained fighting for several weeks now and the military bombardment was stepped up overnight according to the city council
5:23 pm
a gas pipeline and dozens of homes were damaged with mortar fire there was some buildings left in ruins at least one person has been reported injured. furthermore and to government forces a claim that here views banned white phosphorous bombs during its latest shelling of donetsk they posted this video of the alleged attack online which hasn't been independently verified moscow though says it has proof that kiev as used the controversial weapon on at least six different occasions russia's defense ministry claims there are a number of indicators that the characteristic of phosphorous bombs kiev is denying those allegations earlier we got the thoughts of british army officer charles shu bridge 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. burial props an 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
5:24 pm
elsewhere have commented upon in iraq today say that it falls very quickly to the ground this is a fear 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 or any 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 that 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. almost four months since the start of the military operation in ukraine morale in the army appears to be waning soldiers wounded on the front lines in the commanders in the glen roman costs are
5:25 pm
found. dozens of wounded minutes or you were able to get out from one circle means by and forces the soldiers to 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 but you know the. truth of. who was. there was the fall for. this the fellow who would you put the two both. millions of dollars have already been spent by kiev and 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 drying out he won't have the money to pay for a military operation after all this is before the army needs around seven hundred
