side me directly violate the security council's resolution. eleven pm here in moscow you're tuned in to our chief international my name as you know me welcome our top story at least seven children have been killed after more rockets were showered on a palestinian refugee camp we have received some exclusive video from the heart of the tragedy you may find it contains graphic images. israel defense force pointed the finger at hamas saying it bombed its own territory really prime minister binyamin netanyahu said palestinians must brace themselves

for a prolonged operation the u.n. security general reiterated his appeal for a cease fire seeing those responsible for the priest and then to bloodshed should be punished a mass had earlier nights the halt to fighting ahead of celebrations to mark the end of ramadan but as before both sides fail to observe the true story fear no reports from town. 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 being caught up in the operation which is loss of. 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 has been frequent he was actually assassinated by a drone missile a few hours after we were using him for filming a report for the place looks like an incredible war i'm joined now by shah 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 a water boarding we we hear a sheltie and a security in our in our quarters to evacuate our homes if weekly he didn't evacuate don't because my his his wife. so we evacuated don't then. be coming and will we see how volk if sixteen bombs in our homes we found my cousin he's dead. and my my cousins some of my

cousins were in just in despond we are not hamas and we are not just by the senior both of the parties israel and hamas are both strong in that position wanting to gain concessions israel wants to strike hamas infrastructure the palestinians here hamas want to gain concessions with respect to the siege of gaza the fighting continues on the civilian loss continues. and the bloodbath in gas that has not gone on noticed in israel itself with reservists and soldiers laying down their arms in protest of the violence dozens have signed a petition explaining why they decided to refuse to be part of the i.d.f. we did chance to talk to one of them. we're not willing to be good israel. to support their military adventure is to support the oppression of the native population but we have to remember that the population of this country and the

majority of them are the palestinians even if whether they're in palestine itself or whether they're refugees so we we can just count ourselves among israeli jews and ask ask ourselves whether you know whether we're close enough to the soldier or 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 it's impossible to stay unmoved and yet it is possible because the society around us israeli society is so so militarized is so caught up in. this in military is that propaganda and education that are. almost entirely supports supports of the operation even encouraging their government to go further to kill more during the course of this operation over six hundred protesters

against the operation against the war have been arrested and are still under arrest for trumped up charges you know because the. police brings up against you one day here they want to suppress the protests and they queues you assaulting them or illegal assembly or obstructing police in. the line of duty with these sorts of accusations israel has now acknowledged on intentionally bombarded the courtyard of a un school and gasol last week but it denies it's responsible for at least fifteen deaths there saying the compound was empty at the time of the strike many weapons in israel's arsenal come from the us which is a major supplier to be i.d.f. as of two thousand and nine israel receives almost all of its weaponry. from the united states in all three means the major recipient of military aid getting more than three billion dollars in annual foreign military funding the us also provided

two hundred thirty five million dollars to produce israel's iron dome anti rocket systems and by three hundred million of additional funding towards other missile defense programs gideon levy is an israeli journalist from the media organization haaretz he believes the current operation in gaza is driving the situation further into deadlock if the book would have been lifted before this war maybe maybe for would be. these walls wouldn't have taken place and. i think that deserves. to all the security considerations of israel. but by the end of the day these going to the teams got to open because going back to bill's vicious circle is the one time of the political will in this long as good as these and this is known as easy to age and because you see the biggest in the world nothing will be so there will. be.

really. nice very very just the month of the british. open unfortunately in the code. i don't see putting. a team of foreign police have had to abandon their efforts to reach the site of the malaysian plane crash in eastern ukraine they managed to reach the nearby time but the ongoing fighting prevented them from getting any further now the army sweeting an offensive on local militia there despite the clearing a forty kilometer no combat zone around the crash site a little earlier or she's run koester of is following the attempts of the group to reach the scene. international. police force say involving in australia and the netherlands nationals are unable to reach the crash sites flight m h seventeen for they second day in a row would be are sick and tired of being interrupted by gunfire it's despite the

fact of you have agreed 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 all of that area another town of shock because only about fifteen to twenty kilometers away from that site so that was clearly violated both sides are blaming each other for intensifying 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 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 have been getting from this city be a partly show a large residential building being hit by a show and local officials are claiming many other houses were damaged as well in its most recent report the u.n. may raise the alarm over the growing number of civilians killed in the region by or to refire which has been hitting residential areas. earlier human rights watch confirmed the use of guided grodd rockets in eastern ukraine condemning its use in populated areas the body urged both science to stop using the weapon if they are serious about limiting harm to civilians while the ukrainian president claimed about a month ago that kiev forces will never allow themselves to use force against the civilian population on such lee the quote that's just been brought up by russia's foreign minister lover off when he recalled petro poroshenko saying threaten women

children threatening women and children excuse me is against the night's nature of the ukrainian army well unfortunately it appears more and more civilians are being caught up in the violence here is how the front lines in eastern ukraine currently look kiev forces are closing in on the cities controlled by local militia and we are getting reports of residential areas coming under fire in those government strongholds almost every day the. scene here while he's been surrounded by kiev troops on it seems some of the worst spikes of violence recently we're about to show you what happened after it came under heavy fire and sunday we do have to warn you the images are extremely graphic so if you. go through the blue similar. to a poet. to see more. reasons to do. there's no liberal do.

now as you've just seen the young couple on their child were killed there and they were among fourteen civilians who died in court on sunday including five minor ukrainian forces say they're planning further attacks on the militia controlling the city here's a local residents account of the previous deadly strike which hit residential areas . of water there was a strike on the city it most likely from grad rocket systems there is a very popular supermarket in the city center when the shelf alone to it 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 however it's appearing difficult to get that message across in the ukrainian media here's a recent interview of a senior researcher from human rights watch by one local t.v. channel. ok when i switch to english not saying which is real sort of she's gravely anciently. in the us not in the selena is divide so to waterloo to give a visitor why would someone do it in a strongly leni school cleaned their nose out on the shuttle yes that's it it is not the presentation of us the. on the moon is the not. going to the set of what it was during the korean war which is good for that i think i'm not saying your way up studio people want to share like it because it will have to leave some a lot of food curators to put it in the us within the biggest stuff they relate to what you and then push the premiums to get an ability to pass through shit still even though he was leaving out of it when it was the out of the world look when she

rushes envoy to the un as they start some harsh comments and kiev is ongoing military operation in ukraine's east where the malaysian airliner was a proton artesian important as more for us. well russian ambassador to the u.n. 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 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 have rustled back territories formally held by and to keep separate as investors have been says the active assault on towns in eastern ukraine has killed and injured countless of innocent civilians the ukrainian military activity in the area has

exceeded all. humanly imaginable limits. the shelling with long range of did it very populated areas people dying civilians are dying by the dozen of course you recalled on their operations start that we were sure 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 the u.s. claims that russia is currently shelling ukraine and sending heavy arms to a local militia moscow's defense ministry has denied those accusations insisting that the satellite images released by washington are fake additionally while speaking to the processor churkin reminded reporters of moscow's efforts in the past to impose a ban on supplies of conventional weapons to non-state actors a proposal of the russian federation was rejected by western colleagues. why

because they did all that they provide weapons to what. they begin to believe is that. those weapons for political considerations of theirs including syria. oh there is so emotional blaming russia for doing things they themselves did not allow us to prohibit them into the national with respect to washington's accusations that russia is responsible for the downing of the malaysian airliner ambassador 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 to have its experts included in the international probe into the unfortunate tragedy of the downing of the plane russia said it is willing to include its experts if their experts are welcomed. its forces are not firing

into crain while in the country there have been sporadic shelling of russia's rust style freedom which lies along the border erosion civilian was killed and several others wounded during one such attack on july thirteenth the military says at least nine similar strikes have taken place moscow believes the attacks were deliberate the mounted an explanation from kiev which denies any involvement. do stay with r.t. for the latest updates on ukraine you can also get more news on analysis on our web site r t v dot com you know all still to come this hour on the program the hague had to pay more than fifty billion dollars to shareholders of. defunct oil heavyweight calls we'll bring you more expert opinion on the controversies of the ruling very short.

much but these low income families it's not an offer it's an eviction notice. out on having the money to buy the building you know and they say we have options you know the building we know about here having the. right. you know because you used people oh if people can get a job and people don't like the way i'm going to go and know where they are so area is right by d.c. chinatown half of the tenants in this government subsidized building are chinese but as real estate here is booming the chinese community is the one thing this packs not just the chinese 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 a home where she had lived for three years i am kilo i'm clad in the hundreds and i'm too old to. just

a true. our 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 and massive damage causing instant death every time i think lethal 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.
