smoke crossed the skyline an extraordinary number so it was an extraordinary scene it almost was not like the night anymore here we've seen significant strikes overnight people have called some of the instance massacres just north of here about two minutes drive we saw the demolition of the home of the gaza prime minister ismail haniya five minutes drive from here we saw attacks we believe f. sixteen strikes on the top of the tower media building on the top floor is high masses t.v. station we also saw just a few hours ago the targeting of basically gaza's main and only power station and this of course now is going to. plunge the electricity crisis of gaza already very severe into. downward trend while we've been looking at the plight of those caught up injured and displaced as the hostilities continue it's meant to be

a time of celebration the beginning of the islamic holiday. garza's population its children are entirely to pry of stability and security of. man has now power lies even like a mother and two sisters killed it grates on. the seven year old to which 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 a dream i want to lay out i want to go to. i want to have a business there are children what his if. for this country he was waiting for it now there is no i. just along the corridor abu abdullah waits says 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 pummel sure your neighborhood 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 run schools in far worse conditions. many of the wednesday. palestinians are in every way fatigued by this war it's bitterly felt all the more during the supposed holy days now palestinians call this the age of martyrs. israel has been dropping these leaflets on 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 an answer for why it's rejected internationally proposed indefinite ceasefire deals with a battle of freedom we're talking about as a server is

a big one hundred forty six miles with two million people being a big thing since eight years that we're talking. no products more electricity everything is going to. we're going to continue to defend ourselves to have our freedom especially that there was this silence this growing international pressure to put an end to evil of this but so far both sides remain stubbornly and tragically stance how if you r.t. us. now for more on israel's actions in gaza i'm joined live from tel aviv by. sign an israeli foreign ministry spokesperson thanks for joining me a lot of your prime minister says that israel will act aggressively and responsibly until this mission is completed do you think that killing civilians is responsible . well it's very interesting the way the hamas

spokesperson who had before was talking about freedom the people in gaza could have had amazing freedom we counted the number of cash that was put into the terror ten dollars it's one point twenty five billion dollars with that amount of money they could have had a hospital to could have three malls they could have had twenty schools they could have had so much economy going on but they decided to put it into tunnels where it's are supposed to bring terrorists into israel to murder and slaughter people to murder them in their homes children and women why how does that benefit the people in gaza it doesn't and there are hostages by this regime this terrorist regime which only cares about one thing unfortunately about our destruction and the awful scenes that you see there could have been prevented we had four cease fires we agreed to and the hamas they agreed to none they kept firing at us why why is that necessary how does that aid the people in gaza unclear ok i would i would like to

speak about the civilian deaths that's what i'm sure most people around the world are really concerned about now israel considers hamas to be terrorists for foreign innocent israeli civilians so if israel is not just farming but killing innocent palestinian civilians isn't israel reducing itself to the level of terrorists. first of all it's not israel that says the hamas is to organization all the world leaders say so also if the u.n. the u.s. japan i can go on and on many countries see them as a terror group that's what they is that what they claim they are they are aiming for destruction ok so that is that is a fact that is not something that is open for discussion now the fact that they are doing it using these children these have they they are using them as human shields they're hiding their missiles in their homes and the people have nothing to do against it be turning their homes in through their headquarters they're turning

their hospitals into their headquarters they're launching missiles from school all know the you and schools they found there they found missiles in school why should missiles be in a school how does that contribution to the education of palestinian children this is what they're doing they're cynical organization they don't care about their few can see you can look up their own spokesperson saying on t.v. we are marching them into death we are proud that we are marching them into death this is their way unfortunately they believe that this is their way of life is actually death for them and for us we don't see it we cherish life and this is a very big problem that's why we like them we warn the civilians we abort missions when we know there are children around we truly do everything possible not to harm them but when they actually physically used him as a human shield and. that's what happens unfortunately ok you mentioned how important it is to you how the rest of the world perceives a mass what about the thoughts and other things because both the u.n. and the u.s.

president demanded an immediate and unconditional cease fire so why is israel ignoring the international community. no we are we have said yes to a cease fire many times to come i said no they kept shooting rockets at says we even have a running joke saying do they understand the word ceasefire or maybe it was lost in translation ceasefire means ceasefire and they kept firing rockets so we are going to cease fire the un said it should be done with the call ration of egypt we are very open to that so we don't have an argument with the international community we would like peace and security with the e.u. and the united states said is that should be deem it demilitarized and that is also what we agree because you cannot have it terror in ization with so much arms and weapons trying to murder innocent civilians you know this we have the backing of the world so mistakes do happen we heard about the incident involving the un shelter when israel father not accidentally but when you consider the girls are so

densely populated even the best of times isn't it can be almost impossible to accurately identify the people you're trying to hit with these missiles and they're always going to be innocent victims no not always sometimes we abort missions you can look it up in the websites we show footage the army shows the footage of how sometimes a person tells the pilot aboard the mission we cannot we have civilians here you see terrorists going into an ambulance using it as their way to escape their escape route and but if we know there are civilians in that ambulance we abort the mission this is by the way very dangerous for us because those terrorists the next day they're going to target me in jerusalem i'm going to say in jerusalem and in tel aviv those missiles are going to be aimed at me but we'd rather not risk those civilians and take the risk of them shooting the missiles at least we can speak into the deputy spokesperson of the israeli foreign ministry that's thanks for joining us. now as we mentioned earlier more than

a thousand palestinians have been killed in the campaign so far with israel losing more than fifty soldiers and three civilians but dozens of reservists are now refusing to take part signing a petition to denounce the offensive we spoke to one of them. we're not willing to be good israelis and 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 them are the palestinians even if whether they're in palestine itself or whether they're refugees so we can 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 on and yet it is

possible because the society around us israeli society. is so militarized is so caught up in. this in monetarist that 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 because the. police brings up against you one day here they want to suppress the protests and the queues you assaulting the more illegal assembly here obstructing policemen and in the line of duty with these sorts of accusations. and can show you here live pictures from guards and you

can see the plumes of smoke indicating that the conflict continues to keep in mind you can always find out more about what's going on in guards and the conflict on our web site head to our dot com. the. next the dutch prime minister has told kiev to stop its offensive around the crash site of the malaysian airliner seventeen in eastern ukraine see observers working in that region say they are sick and tired of being interrupted by gunfire gives forces claim to be closing in on the resistance hub of done yet skin insists that they've retaken control of several towns close to the crash site we did an area that had been declared a no combat zone and once again the residential areas were in the line of fire a warning we are about to show you pictures that include graphic footage and this

is what happened to a care home for the elderly in the city of lugansk and i was after it was reportedly hit by shells fired by government troops five people were killed that all of them were outside during the attack and extensive damage was caused to the building as well kiev has not yet commented on the attack but says that its main focus is now to retake the area of the m eight seventeen trash in the neighboring town yet region and i'm cautious reports for us from the russia ukraine border been a couple of days since always see the international team of forensic experts plus the international team of police force involving nationals and they cannot get to the site of the crash as the fighting the seeing is between the ends of government forces and the ukrainian military now this is all happening despite the announcement of a forty kilometer combat zone by president bush and that's clearly being violated

meanwhile the civilians that continue to die both in that place near the crash site of the malaysian airlines flight plus in other cities surrounding the city of donetsk which is one of the largest cities in eastern ukraine. a bus with refugees is reportedly come under fire from government troops near the city of goal of at least one child was wounded the bus was trying to flee an area which has been under heavy artillery fire local authorities say that more than thirty people including eight children have been killed as a result of shelling over the past two days has blamed the deadly shelling on anti government forces. images released by washington which purport to show how russia tanked eastern ukraine has led to more speculation in the media the images were posted on twitter by a washington official rebuffed by moscow on it if you can cut through the spin some journalists receive 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 embassadors 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 attacked 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 washoe responding to our news tweets about the satellite images it says considering who pays artists bills it's not surprising that 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 present this evidence well there's not much questioning in the u.s. means stream c.n.n. has lord 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. russia's military industries moving to quickly make itself and the armed forces self-sufficient this comes after ukraine which had been supplying around thirty percent of all parts for russian military hardware broke off cooperation with moscow and ukraine used to provide and engines for and i twenty four attack helicopters which have been in operation for decades and are currently used by fifty eight countries one of russia's newest jets the state of the art yank one thirty advanced training aircraft also received some of its parts from ukraine the guidance systems for the backbone of russia's nuclear deterrent he says eighteen intercontinental ballistic missiles they were made in ukraine also soyuz rockets which are currently the only way for manned flights to get to the international space station they were also made with some ukrainian components it's

estimated the total cost of setting up the production of all these parts in russia will come to around two hundred fifty million dollars i want to expert says that it won't take much more than a couple of years. we never bought any complete weapons from ukraine they simply supplied us with parts or sections of various hardware systems still not says 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 but 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 engine we used to buy from ukraine. and you can find all the very latest developments in the ongoing ukraine crisis on air and online that website i'll be back with more news see in

a moment. iran like syria has been george very harshly and it leads on to the constant sad. isn't it justified the aim is not pursuing to have say a weapon and you know raising to spectrum off pursuit of the irrelevant government like the new one you know who the same time you see was developing nuclear weapons in the home. did they want to see the number being removed for. the story we would be stupid not to take it.

welcome back in cattle are migrant workers who helped build luxury offices for the organizers of the twenty twenty two world cup how that been paid for a year an investigation by britain's guardian newspaper found them living in inhuman conditions and constant fear of being imprisoned after being left without paperwork the current sponsorship system known as far lower chains foreign workers to a single employer who can then treat them badly simply without consequence or punishment small rooms infested with cockroaches often house up to ten immigrants they are forced to work six to seven days

a week for ten hours in searing heat of more than forty five degrees celsius often leading to sunstroke and even vomiting and deaths are allegedly common their documents are illegally seized and medical care isn't provided or payment reportedly stops after the first few months sharan burrow from the international trade union confederation thinks that the situation in canada isn't given enough attention by other governments. look at tower is a slave state some more than days late stage you're up our own by one person so your contract is signed before you leave your home country but when you get to get tired the employer can often simply tear it up or not pay you wages or treat you in any oppressive way they like workers above desperate for working poor countries so most of these migrants are from nepal india the philippines parts of

africa and they 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 governments they can say thank you we don't want to work with you and to you change the words until you were abolished the foulest system until you put in place fundamental like the right. you had it's militants from the so-called islamic state are pushing further into syria and iraq sowing death and destruction along the way extremist groups hardline take on islam is alienated even al qaeda hasn't stopped the dutch government allowing a pro islamic state rally in the hague demonstrators shouted bloodthirsty anti-semitic slogans and called on european muslims to support you have thousands of hate residents now one city's mayor sacked for sanctioning the protest political analyst jeff williams says that the islam is group is the stabilizing europe.

the very fact that they allow this on the the demonstrators who were chanting death to the jews quite loudly and streets of a european country is really. really quite shocking and suits are the isis a creation of the us intelligence in iraq and now in those global caliphate swarming state they are getting their marching orders their arms are weapons are weapons and it's the vehicle for destabilization destabilizing not all the arabic middle east and beyond but also europe now just where could hundreds of thousands of guns intended for the army suddenly go missing with your first guess is afghanistan you would be right head c.r.t.

dot com to find out more about this enormous and potentially deadly security blunder. and also that why a firm fist can be better than a hearty handshake a study confirms that the more traditional greeting carries more health risks than the cooler this bomb. like thousands of britons have been told the eco friendly solar panels that they have installed could be facing the wrong way on things not under joins us with more information nice to see you again martin how could so many people have got this wrong. well as you can see the wonderful view is behind me of the river thames we've got beautiful weather here in the u.k. at the moment but that is right the the great solar power blunder according to the university they've announced that the panels which are actually built in the southerly direction are facing the wrong way now there are around half

a million homes in the u.k. which have these panels on the roofs it comes at a price too it costs around five thousand to ten thousand pounds to have them erected onto your roof but it does come with money saving of course you can actually get back around eight hundred pounds a year why are they saying that it's facing the wrong direction well that's because of the sun's movement it means that it peaks during mid day this isn't about actually the pros and cons of electricity but the valuable stance that it has of the sun's rays during the day and they're saying that if they're actually following germany's new policy which they had of having them east and west it means that you have less shadow it means that you are be able to you can actually have more panels on your west speccing roof and more importantly it means that you can use it when you come home from work after sort of late afternoon however according to renewable energy world dot com in the states it's a little bit more complicated than that as it's all about where you actually live

the climate involved and the value of electricity that you use if you're not enjoying the day before midday to use the electricity then you're going to lose that as for me well i live in an apartment here in the center of london so with me and millions of others in london and in cities around the u.k. we haven't got that solar panel on our roof we just have our monthly electricity bill to look forward to every month well i never would've thought that could be too much sun in britain but really interesting to hear about the thank you martin and it's in london. but i do stay with us here and i'll say after the break find out what it's like to roam the atlantic waters in an eighteenth century tall ship. in fish farms waters today you had the pond to me because. i saw it spread all over norway is the most toxic food you have and who will profit drowns out in the
