israel fulfills its threat to deliver devastating strikes on gaza with a hundred civilians killed in attacks from land and sea and day one alone palestinian authorities are now offering a day long haul to hostilities. has just gone eight pm choose the evening here in moscow welcome to our team international my names you know and only our top story we start with breaking news because the e.u. has reportedly reached a deal on a new package of wide ranging sanctions against russia the new restrictions are thought to be targeting entire sections of the country's economy let's get the details from peter all over peter what do we know about these fresh sanctions the

u. has put together. well all member states agreed on this new brand new new. lease of sanctions different to the previous sanctions that we've seen which targeted individuals and companies these are targeted at huge individual sectors of the russian economy now it's understood that they'll be looking at the oil industry the defense sector financial sector as well as what's being called sensitive technologies now this comes after the expansion of the initial sanctions list just on friday we'll be waiting to find out exactly what form these sanctions will take the new sanctions that have been agreed on but following the downing of the malaysian airlines flight seventeen in eastern ukraine a number of european nations were coming out calling for tougher sanctions against russia namely the british prime minister david cameron the british government in general the seams that they've come to an agreement in brussels with the rest of

european leaders to put these new sanctions in place as it stands at the moment the new sanctions that have been agreed on in brussels will run for three months before they are reviewed. all over in barely an experiencer night first thank you for that . as peter mentioned we don't know the exact wording of the sanctions yet but what's reported to be a draft text that's been circulating in the media let's take a look at the sectors of the russian economy it claims will be affected firstly the new restrictions may target the financial sector with the country's main oldest bank in the firing line and this will leave of course the majority of russians affected secondly the sanctions are expected to hit the energy industry as well and it's well known how important for moskowitz oil and gas market days just last year it earned more than two hundred billion dollars and selling its oil to europe on top of the russia's defense sector could be sloppy with an embargo on arms sales and those were worth more than fifteen billion dollars last year while it also is

threatening from the rumored sanction plans are also sending shivers across big business in germany the alerts being signed it over a possible significant slump and its six billion euro worth of exports to russia it's thought the sanctions may see a twenty percent reduction early in has a lot to lose while the e.u. seeks to punish russia with germany being one of its largest trading partners last year german trade amounted to run seventy five billion euro six thousand german companies business in russia at the moment on three hundred thousand german jobs are dependent on economic ties with moscow for more on the situation that's close to a columnist michael meadows who joins us live michael just how important is the russian market to german industry and how serious are the concerns of the business lobby in the country right now. i mean many people are very concerned about the sentence

although you cannot read this in the german press and the german press you have only a menu polluted service to say that most of the germans like to impose the sanctions but when you talk to the people on the street when you talk to people who have a run a business or executives in a big company there are not for the sanctions i can tell this to you because sanctions never a one way street you have always a reaction to a sanction and when it comes to this imposed sanctions or the sanctions it will be imposed on russia then of course the germans are the ones who are suffering was the easy for united states to shout for sanctions but the ones who are suffering are the germans or those countries who are close to russia because they naturally have the biggest business implications there are also representatives of german industry who see the costs will be painful but russia still has to be punished just how

popular a stance is this among german business chiefs. what i can tell you is that this is only things that are produced. reproduced in the press when you talk to them secretly behind closed doors they are of course of a total opinion but we have a very very strange situation at the moment here in the west you cannot talk about officially what you will it really think i mean it's like the farmer udy essence are where you have a a meaning a so-called official meaning and then you have something that is behind this meaning and with everyone to whom i have spoken to when it comes to sanctions they say no to sanctions because they are suffering because of our money because it's because it costs our jobs for example and it's ridiculous the germans biggest newspaper for example. exposes if every candidate survey fifty two percent of the germans are for sanctions all this all if they lose their jobs this is not true

this is the only thing i can tell to you but it does raise a point doesn't it that if the costs are high for german industry why don't business heads pressure the government to limit the economic sanctions against moscow. i think the hidden connections between politics and those big business men this c.e.o. executive officers and their condemned to become a condemned to obey but the only thing i repeated is that what as far as it comes to what i know and what i feel what i heard just yesterday evening to big business dinner you never hear something like it is time to make sanctions against russia because this is also very important because there is no proof that russia is responsible for the downing of h. seventeen i think it is very important important also those other people to whom i

speak is a portent first and foremost to have facts not rumors and when you have the facts then you have had to think again and this is what i hear from german businessmen and that this what you can we in the press and in the politic statements just finally we want to get your thoughts and this is well be you was reluctant to impose economic sanctions on russia because of its strong trade ties with moscow why do you think it's ready to risk them now. i don't know what's going on in their minds what i see here is that to escalate the whole situation and do everything that they can in order to create tensions tensions out of nothing instead of posing the right questions who is responsible for the downing of images seventeen where are the settler pictures of america where are the phone calls the air traffic control talks between image seventy. traffic control and many many other questions

this is what we have to clear first and then we can go on with anything else economist michael rose great to get your thoughts today thanks for joining us. thank you ukrainian forces are closing in on the government strongholds in the country's east with the civilians increasingly being caught up in the assault more graphic images are emerging from residential areas in the hubs of kiev resistance which have come under army shelling the following video does contain graphic images this is a current home for the elderly in the city of lugansk partly after it was ponded by shells five people were killed there in that army strike and eight injured according to local officials they also say a medical university a clinic and several residential houses come under fire as well that's the spike earlier pledges not to target densely populated areas during what it calls its terror operation on these are the pictures from the outskirts of the regional

capital of finance which is the main stronghold of government forces apparently several residential houses were damaged by heavy bombardment overnight locals there have been left devastated by the ongoing fighting. but i mean what would you say that is. more you still got to go when you get there you can morning. and you do you have to you go who looked occlusion. around the world. and also the area run the malaysian plane crash site is caught up in the violence us well despite the ukrainian president offering a no combat zone you ordered thought in the wake of the tragedy the dutch prime minister is now urging petro poroshenko to stop the military operation in the area

still preventing international teams from reaching this site. has been following the deadly unrest in eastern ukraine. fighting has certainly intensified in and around the city of donetsk in eastern ukraine now. was one of the heaviest hits and according to local authorities at least thirty one people had died as a result of artillery fire including eight children now people continue to flee that sound. and one of the buses it's a reach that sound off shots are square it was shelled once again and another child had been killed and twelve people were injured now that particular area is very close to the site of the crash of flight m.h. seventeen it's only about fifteen to seventeen kilometers away and the heavy shelling continues there as well and kiev and government forces continue to blame

each other for disability and meanwhile the holy see the mission as well as the international police force including such as trained in nationals cannot get to the sites of m h seventeen for the third day in a row now all this is happening despite the announcement of a forty kilometer no call bad zone by president bush and called all this that has been violated a number of times as the international observing mission and the police force cannot get to the sites of the crash. the u.s. has accused moscow of violating laws dating back to the one nine hundred eighty s. washington says russia has breached a nuclear arms treaty signed with the soviet union in one thousand nine hundred seven by testing a growing launch cruise missile a former german defense official says it's just another way of making moscow look like a guilty party. there is an ongoing throughout all of it because asians again. they tried to blame it on morning if we even evilly know it it just.

because asians and they tried to get. away with it custom. blaming it on. this show we all be able peons that to see international law to be poisoned indy's tease. i can get all the latest in the ongoing ukraine crisis also online r.t. dot com meanwhile after the break we report on migrant workers in qatar living in what's described as modern day slavery. iran like syria has been george very harshly on the leaves on the constant. isn't it justified if not pursuing him for a weapon down you know raising the spectrum of person. would lead to one you know

who say move on these he was developing nuclear weapons. he said he did they want to see these are being. made. we would be stupid not to take you.

welcome back the palestinian leadership is offering a twenty four hour truce in cows i offer israel delivered on its overnight promise to deal a devastating strike on palestine the territory suffered one of the bloodiest nights of us really bombardments after tel of the war and of a protracted campaign there one hundred people have been killed on choose they asked attacks continued into the day. in. the reality. of the. oh. yeah. they're pretty long campaign inevitably means rising numbers of dead which already start growing more than eleven hundred and seventy people most of them civilians

and children have been killed in the campaign so far while israel has lost more than fifty soldiers and three civilians and one of the latest attacks on a refugee camp was one that caused a spike in the death toll our correspondent sent us an eyewitness video from the scene of the missile kill nine children become pertaining one man and severely wounding another but the i.d.f. denied it was involved it was a botched launch by hamas party fear reports from the heart of the comp. so extraordinary scenes where the flare is drops by the israeli military vos neighborhoods of gaza a smoke crossed the skyline an extraordinary number of flags 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. media building on the top floor is hamas is t.v. station we also saw just a few hours ago the targeting of basically gaza's main only power a state. and this of course now is going to. plunge the electricity crisis of already very severe. downward trend 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. gaza's population its children are entirely deprived of stability and security. and my mom has now power lies to live on like a mother and two sisters killed in raids on. the seven year old thought she died

when she woke up with no feeling in her legs there are kids they don't have any guns they don't have any they have. i want to say i want to go to. i want to have a bit. there are children what his if. this is. just along the corridor or wait says his son undergoes surgery having lost a hand in the attacks his pregnant wife lost the baby to top it off like hundreds of others they also lost their home totally destroyed in strikes on the pummel neighborhood palestinians are in every way fatigued by this war it's bitterly felt during the supposed holy days now palestinians call this the martyrs harry fear r.t. . before sharing gas or with rockets israel dropped leaflets and struck palestinians

to leave their homes and take shelter but most people did not have enough time to flee or simply refused to do so and israel some right wing demonstrators appear to have been celebrating the grief of thousands. of demonstrators in tell it. singing football like chants apparently in support of the offense or earlier alarmist stein from the israeli foreign ministry told my colleague new harvey she thinks palestinians have made the wrong choice in buckingham us to even have a running joke saying do they understand the word cease fire or maybe it was lost in translation ceasefire means cease fire and they kept firing rockets so we are going to cease fire the un said it should be done with the calibration of egypt we are very open to that so we don't have an argument with the international community and you will prime minister says that israel will act aggressively and responsibly

until this mission is completed do you think that killing civilians is responsible 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 they 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 they are doing it using these children that's human shields but when you consider that girls are so densely populated even the best of times 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 sometimes we abort missions we show footage of how sometimes a person tells the pilot aboard the mission we cannot we have 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 use them as a human shield well that's what happens unfortunately. my colleague neil harvey

also interviewed former israeli earth force officer uli novak she told us why the actions of the armed forces turned her from the patriot to a critic of her native country and think that. to make a phone call or send a message or drop a tiny bomb minutes before you. destroy an entire house and to think that the fact that we noticed them five or ten minutes before is enough to sentence five or ten or twenty five people to death is something immoral. i don't think that even the times of war we can do with every whatever we want without boundaries when somebody speaks out against the actions of the government you have there always be some people who consider you in some way to be betraying your native country what is the public reaction to what you've had to say and do you worry about any of the

repercussions the reaction as you probably know in here. are not very gentle but i'm not sure it's only the public we see when our officials you know government ministers a government calls to raise gaza to flatten whole neighborhoods in gaza. well this is sort of violence. have to. go to be drawn down to the people so the sentiment these days are very harsh it's hard to make any criticism these days in the israel but they do believe that this is our obligation as the israelis who care about our future to make those statements and to speak out loud. over an hour to dot com we've got more updates social media reaction on the latest pictures from the on the rest you can get it all as always just a click away. migrant

workers in qatar who helped build premises for world cup twenty twenty two officials are still waiting to be paid after a year all while having to endure conditions described as inhumane and their lives be trapped in the gulf state and if they can only leave with the permission of their employer britain's guardian newspaper has conducted an investigation on how foreign workers are finding themselves trapped in modern day slavery up to ten men have to squeeze into tiny rooms with on some wintry conditions on power cuts pretty much the norm that's why working six to seven days a week for ten hours in the scorching heat many have reportedly died of strokes on cardiac arrest the investigation also discovered their paperwork is a legally taken from them and no medical care is provided salaries being paid only for the first few months then the money stops sharan burrow from the international
