know one minute. oh. yeah well. i mean it was yeah the money. i mean these pictures right here from our correspondent in show how on the streets are going to allege drone strike at the al shakti refugee camp the missile killed nine children to capitated one and severely wounded another but the i.d.f. says it has nothing to do with the attack claiming this was a failed launch by hamas and just to update you on some of the numbers very briefly on r.t. international with the israeli incursion overnight at least sixty palestinians have been killed so that's on top of the fouls and death already and here's a report from gaza with correspondent harry for. it's meant to be a time of celebration the beginning of the islamic eat holidays that most of gaza's

population its children are entirely deprived of stability and security of those body and mind has now power lies to live on like a mother and two sisters killed in raids on their hometown in the scars of the seven year old thought she died when she woke up with no feeling in her legs their kids they don't have any guns they don't have any they have lived in a dream i want to lay out i want to go to the journey i want to have a big net there is children what his if. this is fun today he was waiting for it now there is no i don't gaza no no no jim says the stuff themselves a traumatised by the cases they've handled she says the whole population will need psyche. magickal help after a cease fire eventually comes just along the corridor or abu abdullah waits as his

son undergoes surgery having lost a hand in the attacks his pregnant wife lost their baby to top it off like hundreds of others they also lost their homes totally destroyed in strikes on the pummeled neighborhood tens of thousands remain internally displaced having fled injury death and demolition these nine families live in a parking lot below a damaged tower building in gaza city center the eighty family members are lucky not to be sheltering in un run schools in far worse conditions. we're going to. in gaza hundreds of civilians have been killed in less than three weeks palestinians are in every way fatigued by this war it's bitterly felt all the more during these supposed holy days now palestinians call this the end of martyrs . israel has been dropping these leaflets on the west alleging that hamas is

withholding the full number of casualties among its militants but despite the shocking and horrendous number of palestinian civilians killed a mass has announced for why it's rejected internationally proposed indefinite ceasefire deals we see it better to free them we're talking about gaza sort of is a big one hundred foot is acquitted miles with two million people being in a big siege since eight years that we're talking no fear no airport no products no electricity everything is going to by the israeli occupation we're going to continue to defend ourselves to have our freedom especially that the world of this silence this growing international pressure to put an end to all of this but so far both sides remain stubbornly and tragically firm in their stance is how we feel. or let's cross live now to how are you fair who's standing by for us in there and get us the very very latest very good to see you we just ran your report on the

latest of the intensity of the israeli incursion that we've been seeing just the ongoing attacks this morning and in the overnight very heavy bombardment another sleepless night for you harry. indeed the word on the street so to speak here among palestinians is that this was a night of revenge on the part of israel following the killing of dozens more israeli soldiers as they continue their operations to try and demolish hamas is terror infrastructure in these these tunnels around the borders of the gaza strip where we've seen significant strikes overnight people have called some of the instance massacres in the central gaza area for example we saw the demolition of them as house the family house of the matter of one of the residential areas in central gaza as i say just north of here about two minutes drive we saw the demolition of the home of the gods. the prime minister ismail haniya about five

minutes drive from here to the east we saw attacks we believe f. sixteen strikes on the top of the al sure route tower media building on the top floor is high masses t.v. station and this was struck in also the last war what we're seeing here is that this war this two thousand and fourteen war is looking increasingly like the two thousand and eight two thousand and nine war which is why usually labeled here in palestine as a massacre it being a massacre we're seeing the civilian toll obviously in the several hundreds and the overall death toll now obviously well over one thousand nearing the almost fifteen hundred killed in the two thousand and eight two thousand and nine assault we're seeing of course continued an intensified ground operations here which is the explanation for why israel is now actually feeling casualties itself for ations and not just from the land sea and air but also with its soldiers on the ground last

night significantly we also saw attacks on of course dozens of homes throughout the strip but also on manufacturing facilities factories the kind of factories that make soft drinks and boxes for commercial purposes we also saw just a few hours ago the targeting of basically dancers main and only power station we saw that two tank shells allegedly hit a gas fuel tank excuse me and this of course now is going to. plunge the electricity crisis of gaza already very severe into a. downward trend that we've been seeing that in some neighborhoods just two or four hours or days worth of electricity all that's likely to fall even more now and really palestinians here on the ground they suddenly prize their electricity is the only way of facilitating communication with the outside world and of knowing what's going on on the ground without electricity without telling. there's no idea about

whether or not your neighbor was just killed all where these strikes are taking place so the situation this morning is somewhat calm in comparison to last night but by all means last night was a very very bloody nice and guys all right correspondent harry fear there in gaza thank you. he was saying well over a thousand palestinians remain killed in the campaign so far with israel losing about fifty soldiers three civilians but now dozens of reservists are refusing to take part signing a petition to denounce the offensive here at r.t. international we spoke with one of them. we're not willing to be good israelis to support their military adventures to support the the oppression of the native population 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 ask ourselves whether you know whether we're close enough to work for the soldier or for 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 not touristic propaganda in education that it. almost entirely supports support for 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 the kind

the. police brings up against you one day they want to suppress a protest and they queues you assaulting them or illegal assembly or obstructing policeman in the line of duty these sorts of accusations are let's bring about of these live pictures right now this is central gaza here in the background apparently between two minarets of a pair of mosques here in the background the plumes of smoke continue is difficult for you to see but the fire is mostly obscured here behind this row of buildings but i've been well we've all been keeping a close watch on this for the past several hours and we've seen the flame. seconds ago the smoke continues of the i.d.f. the israeli incursion in gaza as the prime minister said will only increase in intensity will bear a mind if you miss out on a you can always get more about the conflict online. dot com. and it's good of you to join us today on our international oh s. c.e.

observers working at the crash site of the malaysian airline a m.h. seventeen they say they are sick and tired of being interrupted by gunfire forces claim to be closing in on the resistance. they've retaken several of the towns very close to the crash site in a zone right here that was agreed upon by kiev to be a no combat zone. and once again the residential areas were of course in the line of fire a warning to you are about to show you some very graphic footage this is what happened to a care home for the elderly in the city of new guns after it was reportedly hit by shells fired by government troops at least five people killed all of them outside during the attack and extensive damage was also done to the building kiev has not yet commented on the attack but says its main focus is now to retake the area of the mh seventeen crash site in the neighboring region and sort of on course a referee ports right now from the russian ukraine border with a couple of days since always see national team of forensic experts plus the

international police force involving its nationals and australian nationals they can get to the sites of the crash as the fighting that can sing is between the ends of government forces and they ukrainian military now this is all happening despite the announcement of a forty kilometer combat zone by president bush and co that's clearly being violated meanwhile the civilians that continue to die both in that place near the crash sites of the malaysian airlines flights plus in other cities surrounding the city of donetsk which is one of the largest cities in eastern ukraine. cost around now images released by washington which purport to show how russia and ukraine has led to even more speculation in the media the images were posted on twitter by a washington official but rebuffed by moscow his auntie's guy in

a chicken. some journalist received the satellite pictures which the u.s. presents as evidence of russian shelling into ukraine via e-mail but much of the world found out about it from the twitter account of the u.s. ambassador to ukraine one of the images according to u.s. officials shows russian self-propelled artillery in washer and the other part of that same image u.s. intelligence determined shows craters inside ukraine indicating strikes from artillery the date on the picture is july twenty third these images have changed quite a few hands before they made their way into the investors tweets on all of these pictures you see the name of the company digital globe which is a commercial provider of satellite imagery and aerial photos the office of the director of national intelligence is said to have analyzed the pictures and written all these captions with their analysis and then they handed it to the city apartment to be released twitter the spokesperson of the russian defense ministry

had this to say such materials were posted on twitter coincidentally since it's impossible to establish their authenticity due to lack of exact reference to the location and the extremely low resolution. journalists now operate in an environment where both sides that is the u.s. and russia brushoff evidence put forward by the other u.s. officials attack media that they're to even question the information that they put forward so r t came under yet another attack this time on twitter here's the u.s. embassy in washington responding to our news tweets about the satellite images it says considering who pays artists bills it's not surprising there are to questions validity of u.s. satellite evidence and then there is another tweet saying given some of the experts shown on our teeth very hard to believe anything they say one has to wonder if the underlying implication is that everybody absolutely must believe everything the u.s. government says and presents this evidence well there's not much questioning in the

u.s. mainstream media c.n.n. has learned u.s. intelligence satellites and radars have monitored repeated artillery fire from the russian side of the border for the last several days in washington i'm going to check out our team. meantime russia's military industry is moving to quickly make itself and the armed forces self sufficient its comes off the ukraine which had been supplying around thirty percent of all parts for russian military hardware broke off cooperation with moscow ukraine used to provide engines for the m i twenty four attack helicopters also known as the hind they've been in operation for decades they're currently used in fifty eight countries also one of russia's newest jets the state of the art yet one thirty advanced training aircraft also received some of its parts from ukraine as well also with the guidance systems for the backbone of russia's nuclear deterrent the s.s. eighteen satan intercontinental ballistic missiles were also made in ukraine not

just those but also the soyuz rockets which are currently the only way for manned flights to the international space station those were also being made with some ukrainian components now it is estimated the total cost of setting up the. of all these parts and russia will come to about two hundred and fifty million dollars one expert says they won't take much more than a couple of years to get in the upper part in the i. never bought any complete weapons from ukraine they simply supplied us with parts or sections of various hardware so in that sense we were never fully dependent on ukraine in the first place right now we're only talking about parts and it's much easier to start making them here in russia instead of producing something completely new the main efforts will be focused on making engineers because that is a labor intensive process however i think that within two and a half years our military industrial complex will be able to start mass producing the engines we used to buy from ukraine. and you can find all the very latest

it's twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow to qatar we go where migrant workers who have been helping to build the luxury offices for the organizers of the twenty twenty two world cup they haven't been paid for a year and investigation by britain's guardian newspaper found them living in inhuman conditions under constant fear of being in prison after being deliberately left without their paperwork now the current sponsorship system it's known as kafala it ultimately chains foreign workers to a single employer who can then treat staff badly seemingly without consequence or

punishment a small rooms infested with cockroaches often have to how is up to ten immigrants forced to work six to seven days a week for ten hours in searing heat of a forty five degree celsius often leading to sun stroke and vomiting in fact deaths are allegedly quite common their documents are illegally seized medical care is refused and all payment reportedly stops after the first few months sharon borrow from the international trade union confederation she thinks the situation in qatar is not given enough attention i think governments. look at tower is a slave state it some more than de slate state you're up. by one person so you will contract you signed before you leave your home country much when you get to get the employer can often simply tear it up or not pay you wages or treat you in any of prissy way that like workers of both desperate for working poor

countries so most of these migrants are from the pull india the philippines parts of africa and i don't understand because nobody tells them what they will face when they get ticket. it's not given enough attention by international governments companies. you and. tell you. until you fundamentally like the right. all right nigeria opening up the world. across several towns have killed at least fifteen suicide bomber blew herself up at a gas station in the town of kano and in. the midst down a police station. which seeks to establish an islamic state in nigeria has now killed more than two thousand civilians just this year. and to for all which is now

getting ready to grant asylum to iraq christians thousands of people from religious minorities in iraq are being forced to flee death threats from the islamic state. christians and whose homes were mocked were forced to either convert to islam special protection tax iraq is home to one of the oldest christian communities in the world. and his group is being evicted by police from vienna's only squawked a police with water cannons was sent in to clear the building of. the originally invited by the building's owner to scare off old tenants who are refusing to move to make way for a new project for the decided relight that digs we're going to stay. just where could hundreds of thousands of guns intended for the army suddenly go missing but if you get the right you have. more of

a story about this enormous and potentially deadly security blunder. why a. hearty handshake study confirms the more traditional greeting carries more health risks than the. now the traditional london public could soon be history british watering holes are closing down fast to be replaced with lucrative apartment buildings so i want. to find out why. there are few things more quintessentially british than the pub where pulling pints is a tradition dating back centuries some of the capital's oldest watering holes have been graced by the likes of byron keats charles dickens and even queen elizabeth the first but it could soon be lost orders for the u.k.'s taverns the british beer

and public says they're disappearing at a rate of fifty per week mutating into ubiquitous convenience store chains supermarkets and most often housing this house has been part of old london town from the seventeen hundreds it looks quaint but it was recently sold by its owners first staggering twenty seven million pounds and guess what the developers want to do yes turn it into apartments calling time on centuries of ales willing socialising prices for housing in the capital are sky high which is why pub landlords are cashing in to ego property developers is that there intrinsically. well built often in the victorian era with current touristic attractive to residential. it's happening across the whole of the caption at the moment the resolute pub in london's eastend didn't live up to its name after the landlady

knocked it down and turned it into flats drinkers at the star in north london have included paul mccartney and dustin hoffman but that's not stopped owners punch taverns from selling out to developers who want to deal the death blow to the friendly local converting it into a luxury mansion worth millions of pounds many a celebrity and regular have taken to trying to save it the castle in south london has been shut down but the local community is still putting up fortifications after the pub group that owned it sold out to developers that want to bulldoze it for. or wait for it luxury flats however in a sign that local authorities could be waking up to the prospect of a pub apocalypse an application to convert the old white bear in north london into you know what was more than the council could bear so they rejected it but what is it that makes this all really british institution worth saving london pubs.

british pubs so unique in the world that being described a social level is and what that means is there aren't many places. so i could rub shoulders alongside a bin man apart from the bar counter that has heritage it's been going on for many years it's been here since time began london it's about you know tourism is well you know and people want to come to a traditional hall so you have traditional. folk they've got nowhere to go and we're going to go to the community you know when you see it all over the country so many clubs are closing down but it's not right and yet in the last decade alone london has lost over a thousand of its legendary watering holes and once they're gone they usually last forever which is why i campaign is say all thirty's need to step up their protection of the public house before times called on the tradition for the final time. a london and boom bust will be next.
