8:02 pm
a thousand is policia with the details. because when security cabinet has agreed to a twenty four hour extension of this united nations humanitarian cease fire that was first implemented early on saturday israeli officials are saying that they will however opposite of the cease fire if there are not any violations and that if in fact they are they reserve the right to act they're also saying that during this twenty four hour extension israeli soldiers who may be inside gaza where they will continue to locate destroy and dismantle tunnels now the security cabinet is set to reconvene early on sunday morning to reassess the situation however we are hearing from anyhow must spokesperson that they have rejected this extension of a cease fire that there was an initial twelve hour with you in brokered cease fire that was implemented on saturday that was at here too by both sides it was in extended for a third of the hours and it was during those four hours that the israelis complain
8:03 pm
that hamas broke the truce there were at least a dozen rockets in that time that were fired at south and central israel now one of this is happening doing and around the fighting that has allowed ordinary residents of gaza to use the opportunity to return to their homes and many did so they went back home to assess the damage to collect whatever belongings they could whether it was food or clothing or valuables it was also an opportunity for united nations aid workers to enter the strip to bring with them much needed medical and emergency supplies it was also an opportunity for body recovery and for injured people to be moved to various locations there were also from those that were holed up the days saturday these of course had to be very quick because many people very fearful as to whether or not this lull in fighting would actually last the situation in gaza is having a direct spillover effect in terms of tensions both in the west bank and inside israel amongst the israeli arab community that numbers roughly around one million
8:04 pm
people we have witnessed. clashes some of them violent here in east jerusalem the israeli police are on high alert there are hundreds of police that have been deployed throughout the city certainly tensions are running high and the anger and frustration that is being felt by people inside gaza is now manifesting itself amongst palestinians in the west bank and israeli arabs here inside israel palestinian politician and activists most stuff about good things that israel must be held responsible for obstructing the peace effort. the first people who are for the cease fire were the palestinians and we are the united nations security council to issue a cease fire. resolution it was israel that blocked the school day and i think the streets in the united nations security council twice there's a very wanted to impose its own conditions by. by having a ceasefire while keeping the siege on gaza while keeping their troops inside gaza
8:05 pm
while demanding that for listing and have no right to desist occupation this is unacceptable and what palestinians did should be a cease fire but also there 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 from 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. on saturday evening thousands attended a peace a rally in tel aviv people call for an end to the operation in gaza which has resulted in a forty israeli deaths mostly soldiers protests against the offensive have been held across the globe with some of them turning violent. in paris a riot police were deployed to disperse the crowd forcing them back with guess

8:08 pm
a russian spy they were telling me all day that i had entered ukraine through ukraine and entered it through russia it's all completely completely false they were accusing me of working for terrorists all 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 have been tacked so i want to go to recount my e-mail account my you tube account which is obviously money in livelihood so many deleted two thousand videos from every single account i have facebook contact the time that ukrainian forces have had my computer it was held by the s.b.u. as well they've taken that they've stripped all the passwords basically being cyber attacks 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 and all i ever did there was report the

8:10 pm
anything but really what. do you. still believe you want in the region you. know for me. ukraine security services initially denied having graham phillips in custody and rejected all allegations of targets in journalists but they later announced that phillips had been deported he has a statement that ukraine security forces made then when one knew where one of them pardon me where no one knew where the journalist was. nor has 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. political analyst patrick henningsen told us why he thinks ukraine security forces were not forthcoming about holding the british journalist. i think they're very nervous in
8:11 pm
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 politicians in europe in the united states are still calling it as as the government care of is an anti terror operation meanwhile civilians are being targeted that's the very thing that they're graham phillips is trying to relay to the world i think just like a policy out of care of transparency is something they're clearly not very good at . hiding cover ups right from the beginning of this crisis right all the way back to february to the mike on so why should we expect anything different right now. is in ukraine has become the world's most dangerous place for journalists according to the international news safety institute they say since the start of the yellow

8:14 pm

8:15 pm
to diction and we're all forced to look. this is our t. international in the past two months at least two hundred fifty civilians have been killed in the ukrainian city of new gods which is on a military siege and over eight hundred fifty wounded and the death toll continues to rise over the weekend killed forces shelled the city claiming another one thousand lives it is a residential areas that were hits the worst in the recent bombardment of lugansk
8:16 pm
ten people were reported killed at a bus stop that came under fire. mortar shells damaging more than twenty buildings including a school that was going to get into gaza and here's one eyewitness how he described the congress. the school over all. the polls but he'll give you just heard an awful . but it looks like two or three to five and. when you don't perform are you discovering your fish are never. sure you'll love for example a leader the way you live the other newborn you don't know what you want to give what you heard which shelters those few overrules give you for. in other developments human rights watch says a ukrainian army may have committed a war crime when it killed sixteen civilians with unguided grad rockets in the deadliest region the group says the graph system is just too in accurate it should be used on populated areas human rights watch is calling for this kind of weapon
8:17 pm
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 syrians 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 by 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 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
8:18 pm
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 should investigate and should immediately stop the use of these weapons in populated areas like singles that contain years unabated and go with forces advance

into the outskirts of the city thousands of civilians have fled the area and then you have guys then you need your own that's why do you need your nose. the region has seen sustained fighting for several weeks now and the military going bad meant was stepped up overnight according to a city council against pipeline and dozens of homes were damaged by a mortar fire with some buildings left in ruins train services have grounded to a standstill with mass cancellations making it increasingly difficult people to leave the area. ukraine's president petro poroshenko has visited an army training base in de niro's care you can see the head of the state firing a few rounds but despite the terms to encourage the army morale appears to be lower than ever soldiers injured on the front line say their commanders are showing no regard for their safety. reports from dunnit. wounded military were able to get out from encircled mines by and forces the soldiers claim that high ranking

8:22 pm
previous reports on ukrainian refugees and many russians from ukraine have family in russia and 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 but 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's a humanitarian crisis here at the same 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 interested that artillery russian territory is hitting the military is going in aiming at european military outpost but you are convinced we have seen no indication she's no indication that the
8:23 pm
opposite is true that just an encouraging while the u.s. department says no indication that the russian territory comes under fire from ukraine witnesses who live near the border inside russia offer a different perspective. that you. know nothing you don't know when you seem to be in. when the wisdom but that will stop for you so you thank those of our with the eloquence of cherry blossoms. the idea which was a bit are you with us with visions of them going so that i would visit. with would have wanted to give them the truth but the most part the put them which 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 systems might look like to outline when pressed on how officials can put out such allegations without backing them up with substantial
8:24 pm
evidence here's what she said it's not and i don't deny it. it's not a question. it's a question of whether you can do your you know we've put out a plane 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. there's always plenty more for you on our website including star wars and game of thrones characters along with ninja turtles flock to the u.s. city of san diego has fans from all over the world gather for the adult comic-con international festival doughty dot com for all the details and pictures. hundreds of people in bolivia perform their last dance in attempt to break a world record this story and much more on line.
