international team of experts are still trying to get to the side of the tragedy. now we're getting reports that five civilians have been killed in the eastern ukrainian city of lugansk one of the hubs of kiev resistance on a main target of the ukrainian military and these are the pictures we're getting from the city a part of the show a large residential building being hit by a shell local officials are blaming many other houses were damaged as well in its most recent report the u.n. is raising the alarm over the growing number of civilians killed in the region by a tillery fire which has been hitting residential areas. earlier human rights watch confirmed the use of ground rockets in eastern ukraine condemning its use in populated areas now the body urges both sides to stop using the weapon if they are serious about limiting harm to civilians well they ukrainian president claimed about a month ago kiev forces will never allow themselves to use force against the

civilian population but that's actually a quote that's just been brought up by russia's foreign minister lavrov when he called petro poroshenko saying that threatening women and threatening children is against the night's nature of the ukrainian army well unfortunately it appears smaller and more civilians are being caught up in the violence here's how the front lines in eastern ukraine currently look forces well they are closing in on the cities controlled by local militia and we're getting reports of residential areas coming under fire in those anti government strongholds almost every day now the ton of just seen here surrounded by key have troops has seen some of the worst spikes of violence recently we're about to show you what happened there after it came under heavy fire on sunday we do have to warn you the images are extremely graphic . so if you. got them.

most would you go is not. just reviewing the. morning. you've just seen the young couple their child were killed there and there are also thirteen civilians as well who died in karloff car on sunday including five minors ukrainian forces say they're planning further attacks on the militia that makes fourteen in all controlling the city later today but here is a local residents a kind of the previous deadly strike which hit residential areas. it was a strike on the city most likely from grad rocket systems there is a very popular supermarket in the city center when the shelf alone to which there

were a lot of customers them 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 they simply raising us to the ground. human rights activists are calling on both sides in the ongoing conflict in ukraine for restraint the put an end to civilians being caught up in the fighting wherever it's appearing difficult to get the message across and the ukrainian media has a recent interview of a senior researcher from human rights watch by one local t.v. channel. q one not eyes which really should not say which is real sort of secretly and surely. not when the. device will be wired to work who would be visited by someone who worked in a store on the leni screens in the us that means that sip is not the presentation of us the kill could i even vote on the moon is the not. going to that's what i

wanted to. give you that i think i'm not saying the way. people want to share looking up casually have some looked out for the curators to put a little shit in the biggest stuff they've learned to live up to what you and then push the premiums for you to pass through shits still even when you was leaving out of it when it was the other the good ones look when. rush is on point to the un has some harsh comments on here is ongoing military operation in ukraine's east where the malaysian airliner was brought let's get the details from marty's marine at port. what did he have to say on the stall crash probe. well russian ambassador to the un to tell you can express both concern and disappointment about the investigation into the downing of malaysian flight seventeen is confronting enormous delays and he says it's because of ongoing military activity instigated by the ukrainian government you see when the security council adopted a resolution last week calling for an impartial independent investigation into the

plane crash ukrainian president petro poroshenko promised that no military activity would be carried out within a forty kilometer radius of the crash site but as we know kiev has broken his promise and has doubled down on its military offensive closing in on the crash site as a result international investigators cannot reach the area due to security concerns and besser churkin says that he's attempt at taking over the crash site would be a violation of the security council resolution and while ukrainian troops backed territories formerly held by and to keep separate as investors are going says the active assault on towns in eastern ukraine has killed and injured countless of innocent civilians. military activity in the area has exceeded all. humanly imaginable limits. the shelling with long range it did it actually book related areas people are dying civilians are dying by the dozen of course so you

recalled their operation started we were assured by some members of the security council that they are going to act with restraint restraint i wonder what kind of definition of restraint they were guided by because what we see is that they're going after the civilian population. now in the meantime the u.s. claims that russia is shelling ukraine and sending heavy arms to local militia in eastern ukraine now moscow's defense ministry said that the satellite images released by washington are fake additionally ambassador churkin reminded reporters during his press briefing of moscow's effort to impose a weapons ban on ukraine last year. the russian delegation in the course of the negotiations was was insisting on including it cools which would ban the supply of weapons of conventional weapons to non-state actors and that the proposal of the

russian federation was rejected by western cortex. why because they do it all the time they provide weapons to quell who they begin to believe is that. those weapons for political considerations of theirs including syria i'm older i don't. know there are so emotionally blaming russia for doing things they themselves did not allow us to proceed with the now with respect to. with respect to washington's accusations that russia is responsible for the downing of the malaysian airliner besser churkin said that anonymous u.s. senior officials continue to release information and reach conclusions without sharing any evidence or even going on record russia also indicated that it would also like to be included or have its experts included in the international probe into the unfortunate tragedy of the downing of the plane but it has yet to be seen what countries are all going to take part in this international probe but russia

said it is willing to include its experts if their experts are welcome with the update from new york marina porton i thank you. moscow maintains its forces are not firing into ukraine while on the country there has been sporadic shelling of russia's rust off region which lies along the border a russian civilian was killed and several others wounded during one such attack on july thirteenth the military say police nine such strikes have taken place moscow believes the attacks were deliberate and the mounted an explanation from kiev which denies any involvement. to stay with or to you for the latest updates on ukraine you can also get more news views on analysis on our web site r.t. dot com meanwhile still to come this hour in the program the hague orders russia to pay more than fifty billion dollars to shareholders of. the fund oil heavyweight you cause will be bringing you more expert opinion on the controversies of the

ruling very shortly. the government system is to help poor people who are women but you 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. the time the whole thing into law is shut. and we're all forced to look show. iran like syria has been george very harshly on the leaves on the constant sad. isn't it justified the it's not pursuing the weapon and you know raising the spectrum of personal revenue would lead to one you know who say move. developing nuclear weapons and. you want to see the series of

being. made up and. we would be stupid not to take you. welcome back the it's really defense ministry has just voted to deliver a devastating strike on gaza at least seven children helping killed after more rockets were showered on a palestinian refugee camp i did not know and i know no one no one not now i don't know why but now. the israel defense force pointed the finger out how seeing it bombed its own territory is really prime minister binyamin netanyahu said palestinians must brace themselves for a prolonged operation the u.n.

secretary general reiterated his appeal for a cease fire saying those responsible for the young priest attempted bloodshed should be punished i'm outside earlier the holes to fighting ahead of celebrations to mark the end of ramadan but before both sides fail to observe the true story fear reports 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 fatigued 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 fought see have been frequenting he was

actually assassinated says by a 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 siobhan he is a resident of beit lahiya 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 water. we we hear a sheltering and a scare in our in our quarters to evacuate our homes weekly get he either didn't evacuate don't because my his his wife or not so we evacuated don't then and they're being coming and will we hear i v how volk if sixteen bombs in our homes we found my cousin he's dead. and my my

cousins some of my cousins were injured in this bomb we are not hamas and we are not just but the senior 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. mass want to gain concessions with respect to the siege of gaza the fighting continues and the civilian loss continues. the bloodbath in gas a husband gone on notice that in israel itself with reservists and soldiers laying down their arms in protest at the violence dozens have signed a petition explaining why they decided to refuse to become part of the i.d.f. now we have a chance to speak to one of them io rosenberg joins us live thanks so much indeed for doing that why did you take the decision to refuse to participate in your reserve military and you. have to begin by extending our solidarity to the people of guards are both civilian and

defending fighters in these these very hard hard hard rending times really after what we've just heard it's impossible to. stay and move and yet it is possible because the society around us israeli society is so so militarized is so caught up in. this in monetarist that propaganda in education that is. completely not completely but but almost entirely supports support for the operation with large parts of israelis even encouraging their government to go further to kill more to inflict more damage to take revenge at what's been happening and. this this

phenomenon of the public being caught up in extreme. nationalism is something that we're deep crying in our letter however some would consider your decision a betrayal do you feel you have distance yourself from your fellow citizens somewhat . well it is a betrayal of the ethos that these really government wants us wants us to follow we're not willing to be their good israelis and to support their military adventures to support the the oppression of the native population neither in guards are nor elsewhere and and it does this from those who are fervently supporting this operation did the extent of us even experiencing violence but we have to remember that the population of this country and the

majority of it are the palestinians even if whether they're in palestine itself or whether they're refugees so we can't just count ourselves among israeli jews and ask our and ask ourselves whether you know whether we're close enough to work to the soldiers to the government of the establishment we have to think about the people of this country and of this region and the best interests of everybody involved what repercussions could this until three years. well there are just a couple of days ago one repercussion this isn't tailed for me as being hit over the head with the metal pipe and. these. stitches on the back of my head i guarded the emergency room. now luckily it's still not the case that our kind of protest is you know

legally forbidden but there's certainly been a narrowing of the space for political expression in israel in the past several years and during the course of this operation over six hundred protesters against the operation against the war have been arrested and some are still under arrest for trumped up charges you know because the. police brings up against you one day they want to suppress the protests and the queues you assaulting them or illegal assembly here obstructing policeman in the line of duty with these sorts of accusations it's been fascinating to get your inside i'll rosenberg a soldier who refused to serve in the israeli army in protest against the bloodshed we thank you this hour. more stories are online few on our website including the u.k.

of law and of steering this in the judicial process and this is the. mr holder code ski and he is he's have been found guilty not only in russian courts but is that guilty sentence for tax evasion and fraud which was upheld by the european court of human rights it is outrageous that anyone should imagine that russia is going to pay fifty billion dollars to these criminals. fos food giant mcdonald's has find itself on the battlefield but russian officials won't say again the federal consumer protection agency has lost out at the chain of restaurants after numerous violations were fine during checks. investigates precious consumer rights watch is definitely not love and hate and they cigarette drink is just one project in the firing line in may regional broncho frost but they're not sort of watched once to

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 bottoms it's not only in robotics that they hope to break ground the program will also seek out 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 funding that's prompted an open letter of protest from neuroscientists who are concerned the money is not going to the right place and it's very nice to have such a large amount of money devoted to nurse science but then first of all it should indeed be devoted to neuroscience 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 barking on such a project with e.u. money is risky with only one real loser. tax payer 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 r.t. . bonser news for now but up next sophie shevardnadze searches for a local solution to poverty to stay with us.
