reach the crash site so flight m h seventeen for this second day in a role would be are sick and tired of being interrupted by gunfire it's despite the fact of the hope it creates that there should be a cease fire that was stopped short of reaching the site about twenty kilometers in that sound. where heavy fighting continues. and that gunfire is heard throughout the city as it people continue to from the area. now this is all despite the announcement by president bill to par schenkel combat zone within forty kilometers off that area and out of town of shots because only about fifteen to twenty kilometers away from that site so that was clearly violated both sides are blaming each other for intense supplying off the flights in the air the crash sites of malaysia airlines flights and meanwhile the always see and the international team of experts are still trying to get to the side of the tragedy.

russia's foreign minister lavrov when he recalled petro poroshenko saying that threatening women and children is against the night's nature of the ukrainian army well unfortunately it appears that more and more civilians are being caught up in the violence and we can have a look now at how the front lines in eastern ukraine currently look forces are closing in on the cities controlled by local militia we're getting reports of residential areas coming under fire in those anti-government strongholds that's almost every day the town of go all of it here you can see quite clearly surrounded by troops it's seen some of the worst spikes of violence recently now what we're about to show you happened there after it came under heavy fire on sunday and i must warn you you're about to see some extremely graphic images. gruesome. you'll. have to see

martin. to do there's no liberal do. running. now you've just seen the young couple and their child were killed there and they are among thirteen civilians who died in all of on sunday ukrainian forces say they're planning further attacks on the militia controlling that city later today here is a local residents account of the previous deadly strike which hit residential areas . what there was a strike on the city most likely from grad rocket systems there is a very popular supermarket in the city center when the shell fell on to it there were a lot of customers then another fell in a residential yard in another near the city's maternity home causing all the windows to blow out explosions could be heard all through the day starting from

four in the morning is simply raising us to the ground. or human rights activists are calling on both sides in the ongoing conflict in ukraine for restraint to put an end to civilians being caught up in the fighting however it's appearing difficult to get that message across in ukrainian media here's a recent interview a senior research of from human rights watch by one local t.v. channel. ok one eyes which really should not say which is real sort of surely. not in the salina kotori midgets armies divide the world would we be. similar to in astronomy the early. birds are all in your ticket we on the plane you could already been you believe mr wilson is this part of the us quickly is there not that he has not said but is not the presentation of us tokyo could i in that version i'm going to link them you missed the not old never heard of. the really nya.

news that's in there is not old nicholas nickleby is still it. it was not challenged or. complete the guest with not one of the not admirable me at the end of a probably the only bloody me. up on a widely the petition me a president needs. me. on going to that set of what it will. give you that i think i cannot see any way to. people want to share like europe casually have a lot of food curators to put a little sugar in the biggest that they relate to what you and then push the premiums wash it with because it isn't a guy should put it to his courteous to mr. she. used to pass through shit still even though he was leaving out of it when it was the other good ones look when she was his foreign minister says that western country should be pushing for an immediate and unconditional cease fire in ukraine when

a kosovo was listening to sag briefing to the media. the foreign minister brought up the peace plan in ukraine saying there isn't a why it failed this because the ukrainian government rejected dialogue would be a position of resorting and that simulates very force he also went on to brush off allegations that russia is sending weapons to government fighters across the border highlighting russia's invitation to international monitors to go to those checkpoints in question where this is allegedly happening to see for themselves because you're. invited european observers to russian border checkpoints with ukraine to observe the situation there well it's been two weeks since that in the tension and u.s. or british and ukrainian diplomats have taken efforts to convince them. not to accept that offer the foreign minister said that he hopes that when international experts do finally get there they will see for themselves that there is no arms transport and that will clear up all these accusations going on when it comes to

the mh seventeen the plane crash that a lot of reiterated calls walking a full thorough and objective investigation reminding everyone that russia has presented its data regarding this tragedy and its expect their. counterparts partners to do the same and show their evidence as well now the foreign minister said it's still unclear exactly what the west wants to do and what it expects from it now as we know of course or more a sanction slapped on russia at this point when it comes to the economic repercussions although the sanctions. that russia is confident that it will be able to overcome any can all make hardships and in fact this could actually make russia become more independent and also he stressed that russia will not be engaged in and what's happening. want to treat the situation with a clear our president has already said we cannot ignore that but getting hysterical

and responding with the backlash is beneath a large country and. we do not want any histeria we have dignity and will proceed from that the so-called enforce were also brought up and set a goal of for all of us that western media are actually of a few cents to consider russia as our version of events and what's troubling him the most that the minutes is the fact that regulators in the u.k. are trying to clamp down on artsy is a coverage of the ukrainian crisis and he wrapped up a conference wide saying by saying it's really important right now to sell the full picture of what is happening and ukraine and that the only thing that russia wants to achieve there is peace and the only way that this can be achieved according to set a goal of rauf is through an all inclusive dialogue. versus defense ministry says that satellite images released by washington as evidence that russia's been firing across the border into ukraine really says that they are fake according to the u.s. the images show blast marks on the russian side and impact craters on the ukrainian

side moscow says that there are no precise coordinates though on the pictures and that they cannot be authenticated also inspectors from various countries including the u.s. have been on the ground but found no evidence of russia violating ukraine's border and former white house official paul craig roberts doubts the credibility of washington's latest allegations someone needs to asked state department did they issue this information by mail early on a sunday morning this is a complete dead time in news many american cities. and cisco los angeles seattle it's still early hours in the morning so. if this was released by the state which i doubt it's so unprofessional i was just on sector treasury or to the wall street journal this is not the way.

it is released ever. a musket maintains that its forces are not following into ukraine meanwhile on the contrary there has been sporadic shelling of russia's sort of stuff region which lies along the border a russian civilian was killed and several others wounded during one such attack on july thirteenth the military says at least nine such strikes have taken place moscow believes the attacks will deliberate and has demanded an explanation from kiev which denies any involvement. and stay with r.t. for the latest updates on ukraine you can also get more news and analysis on our web site www dot com do stay with us though more to come this hour such as the hague orders russia to pay more than fifty billion dollars to mikhail khodorkovsky oil heavyweight you cos we'll bring you more expert opinion on the controversies ruling very shortly. and also on the way for you to pay for pack coming up we take a look at how tenants in washington d.c. afford to pay overwhelming rent by their landlords under the threat of eviction.

i married him join me. in part and. carry on for this and much. only. welcome back palestinian medics say that at least seven children have been killed after more rockets was showered on a gaza refugee camp by israel reports say that the main palestinian hospital was also hit but israel has denied responsibility the u.n. secretary general reiterated his appeal for a cease fire calling on both sides of the conflict to renew a humanitarian treece and i said earlier announced a halt to fighting and was ahead of celebrations to mark the end of ramadan a twenty four hour ceasefire extension failed to hold on sunday first the

palestinian militant group fired masses of rockets from gaza into israel saying it couldn't agree to a deal until israel pulled out of gaza this prompted israel to shell the area later hamas relented and called for the truce to be reinstated the fighting subsided during the day but there is still no real truce in place or a fear reports now from gaza this is meant to be a day of celebration giving the islamic context of a holy holiday about really on the ground palestinians are extremely for tea by this conflict which has caused incredible civilian loss almost everyone you speak to quite literally knows a relative or has themselves directly been caught up in the operation which is lost of course over twenty days and killed hundreds of women and children we've seen hospitals hit directly or indirectly and of course hundreds of homes just

a few days ago a taxi driver that the crew here. in gaza for r.t. has been frequent he was actually assassinates by drone missile a few hours after we were using him for filming a report for r.t. the place looks like an incredible war zone i'm joined now by. he is a resident of beit lahia in the north area of the gaza strip just a couple of days ago his home was demolished by israel can you tell us what happened. in the morning as we were taking. we we hear a shelter and a security in our in our quarters to evacuate our homes quickly he didn't evacuate don't because my his his wife. so we evacuated don't then. be coming and strike when we hear our heavy how volk it's sixteen bombs in our homes we found my cousin he's did. my

my cousin's some of my cousins were injured in this bomb we are not hamas and we are not we are just palestinian both of the parties israel and hamas are both strong in that position wanting to gain concessions israel wants destroy hamas infrastructure the palestinians here hamas want to gain concessions with respect to the siege of gaza the fighting continues and the civilian loss continues. israel has now acknowledged it unintentionally bombarded the courtyard of a un school in gaza last week but it denies it's responsible for at least fifteen deaths they're saying that the compound was empty at the time of the strike any weapons in israel's arsenal come from the us which is a major supplier to the i.d.f. arena portnoy has more. u.s. president barack obama has joined the global course of world leaders calling for an immediate ceasefire 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 tell of it as of two thousand 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 nearly three hundred million dollars of additional u.s. funding towards other missile defense programs these figures are warning 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 in turn has much less control influence over how tough it is using the american made missiles and guns it's more. artsy. don't forget we have plenty more stories that we're covering for you on our website such as the u.k. will allow fracking in national parks and heritage sites but only in exceptional circumstances of the case now open to shale gas drilling despite growing public concern over the environmental impact. on our website and also. that this man is believed to be the first american to blow himself up in a suicide attack in syria watch the final footage of him alive before he carried

out the deadly attack check it out at r.t. dot com. america's spy agency has been increasingly sharing sensitive data with the saudi regime that's according to a top secret memorandum veiled recently by fugitive whistleblower edward snowden now according to that document the cooperation is a two way street providing riyadh with analytical and technical support and washington with information on iran's military and our movements in the arabian peninsula let's get more perspective on this from an intelligence analyst glenmore harvey thanks for joining us my first question this document claims that the relationship between america's intelligence service and the saudi regime it claims that it's experiencing a period of rejuvenation first of all would you agree with that and if so why do you think that's happening. good afternoon to you first of all i do entirely agree with that what is interesting is that although there is have been

a cooling in the relationship between saudi arabia and the united states saudi arabia didn't take up its offered a seat on the security council the head of saudi intelligence is prince bandar prince bandar was the saudi ambassador in the united states for decades he returned and the person who took over from him at that time was prince turki prince turki had been head of saudi intelligence so that harken market they're both very very close indeed now the thing is that the united states national security agency has been providing signals intelligence because the united states and saudi arabia despite their occasional differences both have both . two main targets for saudi arabia it is

a round and of course the americans have their grievances with iran but also the al qaeda in the arabian peninsula specifically india and then in yemen the saudis are very concerned about infiltration of al qaida supporters and of course the americans have maintained surveillance but thinks of hotted up with the creation of isis coming out of. syria we have the saudis the qataris and would you believe it the israelis are supporting the sunni isis and in fact. baghdadi the self-proclaimed. head of the. islamic. caliphate has said the site cia helped train them not all of this information has been supported by

intelligence from the n.s.a. limits all the more so if i could just jump in because there's a few more topics on the cover in particular washington it says look this relationship with riyadh this is aimed at fighting terrorism just curious what do you think about how that sits with accusations that the saudis are actually helping to arm al-qaeda linked rebels in syria. the thing is with revelations. you wonder you know where the truth lies and it's always been a joke how do you know that an intelligence officer a politician or a diplomat is lying it's when their lips are moving. the thing is that it has been empty kara's information that has been given. his or two but as you rightly say isis has been declared

a terrorist organization and yet the saudis have been supporting them and one step removed the americans have so it is slightly. ambiguous and bigger as to say that all the americans are doing is supporting terrorism we can see the lie in that ok thanks so much for joining us interesting to get your thoughts on this us intelligence analyst glenmore near harvey thank you thank you. i'm moving on the low income families in the us are being pushed to the edge with landlords hiking rents to new highs to count went to see why some families in washington were told to come up with almost nine hundred thousand dollars each or pack their bags. 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 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 know we're 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 have the money is not right you know because you pushed people people can get a job and be put on a quick i'm going to go in

a well so area is right by d.c. chinatown half of the tenants in this government subsidized building our chinese but as real estate here is booming the chinese you know you do is the one thing this packs not just the chinese community and not just the 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 a home where she lives. i am killaloe i'm clad in the hundreds and i'm too old to. just kick the bucket right here that several dozen protesters rallied today calling. and and have a rising number of their vacations in san francisco now it's really hurt reporter you know this country and it or you know it has been for quite some time but it's

just getting worse a real estate boom maybe a wonderful thing but for low income families it can be devastating in washington i'm going to take on. the arbitration court in the hague has ordered russia to pay more than fifty billion dollars to the former shareholders of the oil giant you cos now the ruling marks a milestone in the more than a decade long legal process according to that ruling you cos owned by former tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky was in fact expropriated by the kremlin and that contradicts moscow's claims that the business was split up in accordance with market regulations russia now has ten days in which to appeal the court's decision and 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 play of rule of law of steering this in the judicial process and this is the. mr hodder code ski and he is these have been sound guilty not only in russian courts but that

guilty sentence for tax evasion 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. i do stay with us here and next we have sophie shevardnadze and our interview shows so forget us all for me for today we have you watching as in the world if a great day a c.c. . 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.
