president barack obama has joined the global course of world leaders calling for an immediate cease fire in the middle east the un fortunate irony is that america has provided most of the weapons the israeli military is currently using to wage war on to gaza washington is the largest single supplier of military equipment to television as of two thousand and nine israel receives more than ninety five percent of its weapons from the united states that's according to britain's former foreign minister david miliband israel also remains the top recipient of u.s. international aid receiving three point one billion dollars in annual foreign military funding during the most recent budget year the us provided two hundred thirty five million dollars towards the production of israel's iron dome anti rocket system and it nearly three hundred million dollars of additional u.s. funding towards other missile defense programs these figures are according to u.s.

congress's own think tanks since israel launched operation protective edge three weeks ago hundreds upon hundreds of palestinians have been killed and according to the u.n. one out of every three killed in gaza is a child an additional one hundred forty thousand civilians on the strip have been displaced and while the u.s. has invested in the midst capital in building up israel's military might intend has much less control little influence over how tough it is using the american made missiles and guns it's hard to bring up or not r.t. me. don't forget we have plenty more stories that you can follow on our website the u.k. will allow fracking in national parks and heritage sites but only in exceptional circumstances half the u.k. is now open to share against drilling despite growing public concerns over the environmental impact to read all about it on our website. and also there he is

believed to be the first american to blow himself up in a suicide attack in syria and this is the final footage of him alive before he carried out a deadly attack by a lot more about that at r.t. dot com. next low income families in the u.s. are being pushed to the edge with landlords hiking rents to new heights granite if you can went to see why some families in washington were told to come up with almost nine hundred thousand dollars each or pack their backs. we are in a part of washington that was once an impoverished area although just a twenty minute walk from the white house that is changing rapidly you have luxury apartment buildings popping up everywhere around here and standing next to them is this building for low income families has been here for a while all kinds we see of government subsidy here they pay just thirty percent of what they make that contract is about to expire in

a cobra and the owner of the building doesn't want to renew it it's hot property now and the owner wants to sell under the law the tenants have the right of first refusal to buy it it seems the owner wants just that the price they're asking for is two hundred fifty million dollars which means for every unit tenants would have to pay just under nine hundred thousand dollars now even some of the apartments in new buildings don't cost that much with these low income families it's not an offer it's an eviction notice. what i hold out on having the money to buy the building you know and they say we have options you know to buy a building we know about here having the kind of money. you know because you people people can get a job and look on a lake i'm going to go in a well see area is right by d.c. chinatown half of the tenants in this government subsidized building are trying but

as real estate here is booming the chinese community is dwindling this is not just a chinese community and not just low income families of washington d.c. you have this trend across the us in san francisco one property owner is now trying to evict a ninety eight year old woman from the home where she had lived for fifteen years i am kilo i'm clad in the hundreds and i'm too old to. just kick the bucket right here that several dozen protesters rally today. colleen point and to the rising number of evictions in san francisco now it's really hard to report you had this country and it are you know it has been for quite some time but it's just getting worse a real estate boom maybe one of whole thing but for low income families it can be devastating in washington i'm going to. be tracing court in the hague has ordered russia to pay more than fifty billion dollars to the form a shareholders of the oil

giant you cause the really marks a milestone in a more than decade long legal process and according to that ruling you cos owned by former tycoon mikhail heart of koskie was in fact expropriated by the kremlin and i contradict moscow's claims that the business will split up in accordance with market regulations russia now has ten days in which to appeal the court's decision one analyst told us that the ruling is just another ball in the political games being played. it strikes me as a very political decision the west manages to create this illusion of slave rule of law of steering this in the judicial process and this is a bad joke mr holder called ski and he is he's had been found guilty not only in russian courts but that guilty sentence for tax evasion and fraud was upheld by the european court of human rights it is outrageous that anyone should imagine that

russia is going to pay sixty billion dollars to these criminals fast food john mcdonald says found itself on the battlefield with russia's officials once again the federal consumer protection agency has lashed out at the chain of restaurants after numerous violations were found during checks or if an option investigates. russia's consumer rights watch is definitely not loving it and the cigarette drink is just one product in the firing line in may a regional branch of that office but they're not sort of watch the ones to checkpoint one of the fast food chains out there it's a nice to know great not far from most going to claire to the caesar sandwiches are up sandwiches and vegetable salad were contaminated with e. e. coli live with a tear it also complains that to make dollars is deceiving people about the energy and nutritional value of its cheeseburgers milkshakes and ice cream although the food giant denied everything officials are going to call it a new way to raised the possibility of further inspect news including here in

moscow and in other russian regions and we can expect that some items could soon be taken off the menu russian officials though stressed that they're not planning any kind of ban of the brand itself here in the countries in twenty five years since may those first came to russia has opened more than four hundred restaurants all across the country and these latest developments have met a mixed public reaction in some russian cities people took to the streets calling on the authorities to shut down the chain restaurant they were carrying banners with quite insulting masson just on them accusing dollars all of posen in the russian people but others expressed their concerns about any possible ban complaining that they would be nice their favorite burgers the court will hold a preliminary hearing in august but the key hearing is likely to happen in september well let's see. some more news now from around the world such as a wildfire in a california national park quadrupled in size overnight attacking two communities

in forest the. other blaze so far destroyed walking home it's endangered areas that have already been evacuated two shelters have been set up for people forced out of the homes is the second wildfire actually in the area firefighters are already. battling flames in the north of the state which have already destroyed hundreds of homes. where dozens of people have been trapped on two buses that's after heavy rain caused flash flooding in eastern china the floods cause more than ten vehicles into buses filled with civilians to be trapped on a low lying section of road firefighters took forty minutes to rescue the passengers. european commission is set on unraveling the mysteries of the human mind but the multi-billion euro project to simulate the workings of the brain has been criticized by neuroscientists you feel it is doomed to be an expensive failure due to all of us has more. the human brain it's

incredibly complex so complex in fact we know little about how it works european scientists are planning to supercomputers to try and change that all parts of the human brain project with this technology we can do behavioral experiments in simulation with a degree of fidelity that wasn't possible before and know about its platform will provide interfaces to real systems in simulation we consider this a starting point for completely new develop development in the potters it's not only in robotics that they hope to break ground the program will also seek out new ways to treat brain injuries and mental health problems the project is based in switzerland but over the next ten years will involve institutions europe wide one of the sticking points though is the cost currently estimated at around one point

two billion euro the e.u. funding that's prompted an open letter of protest from neuroscientists who are concerned that money is not going to the right place i find it very nice to have such a large amount of money devoted to neuroscience but then first of all it should indeed be devoted to nursery rhymes and not a computer in st and there are worries the approach could be all wrong in the end you have two problems rather than one mainly you have still the brain that you don't understand and in addition you agree it is a machine that you don't understand with europe still not out of the woods economically and barking on such a project with e.u. money is risky with only one real loser. the taxpayer and they pay twice the additional costs increase national debt so taxpayers pay first for the initial cost then they face extra costs that come in post plan and. all of which

has sparked a debate in scientific circles whether it's bet is to keep your mind on your money when it comes to this project or whether the e.u. is correct in spending money on the mind peter all of a r.t. . from peter all of it's a pita lavelle he's up next in his guests will discuss what israel aims to change with assaults on the gaza strip that's up next in crosstalk if you're watching is in the u.k. you get a firsthand account of what life is like on board an eighteenth century told ship in the middle of the atlantic and join. death row inmate joseph would rise in pain during a two hour execution this prolonged suffering was not part of the plan and not

constitutional but an accident and not quite a unique wanted that just this year in both oklahoma and my native ohio there have been botched executions due to complications with lethal injection one judge alex kozinski who voted to give would a stay of execution due to the questionable nature of lethal injection drugs said that the good old firing squad would be a lot more humane and his opinion eight or ten large caliber bullets fired at close range inflict massive damage causing instant death every time i think we feel injection is popular not for the executed but for society as judge kozinski said shooting someone in the head with a machine gun is instant death so why don't they use the firing squad because that would be messy and raise questions quietly injecting people way from prying public eyes allows the dirty deed to be done without the hassle of ugly news footage i think that it says something odd about society that we must kill the wicked and murderous but could you do it in a bloodless way completely out of sight i don't want to lose my appetite but that's

just my opinion. please there are people. who shall know where you go. to the very least please. please. please. please. please. please please. come out here please.
