this is an affront to all of us the source of universal shame today the will stands disgraced israeli tanks opened fire on a un schooling gala so where hundreds of civilians were sheltering from the daily are strikes television officials are denying any fatalities despite evidence to the contrary. the u.s. and the e.u. look to pressure russia's financial on energy sectors in a fresh round of economic sanctions targeting some of the country's largest organizations european businesses warn the move is likely to block fire. heavy artillery attacks target times across eastern ukraine leaving residents day and how is this destroyed twenty seven people were killed in three days in one city

alone. wherever you're watching from in the world welcome to moscow and to r.t. international my name's even o'neill our top story at least nineteen civilians including children were killed during the israeli shelling of a un school you can see the pictures of the aftermath of nine hundred tons being seeking some sort of protection there in the hope of escaping the daily bombardments. last night's children were killed as they slept next to their parents on the floor of a classroom in the un designated shelter children killed in the sleep this is an affront to all of us the source of universal shame today the world stands to scrape just the un agency spokes person say's their initial assessment shows that was is

really or tell me that at the school wherever the israeli ambassador to russia claimed the truth behind the story is being obscured. the selling of the direction of the when school was taking place when the bonding with empty everything that the palestinians showed in the media was a staged insinuation israel is denying any responsibility for the number of deaths all matched deaths committed by the israeli side in this attack. correspondent hari fear went to the un school he stated on his twitter feed that he saw blood and body parts country to tel aviv's claims here is his report from the scene. after a heavy night of fighting in which at least one hundred twenty palestinians were killed the hostilities continue just in the last few hours we've seen this significant strike on this the united nations run school being used as a shelter by hundreds of families eyewitnesses say the least five israeli tank

shells hit the complex different parts of the complex including classrooms belonging to normally school girls at least eight palestinian children were killed say eyewitnesses at least three women including at least one pregnant woman and also united nations security guards for this complex it's the second time in less than two weeks to unite united nations run shelter has come under fire we've been catching up with those most severely affected with worms during these ongoing hostilities. it's hard to fathom how such bars devastation can occur in three weeks of fighting. thousands of homes damaged or destroyed tens of thousands internally displaced and well over a thousand. inside gaza's main hospital in its burns unit are a small fraction of the surviving injured this girl three years old. this israeli is demolished the house of this family. so we deceive the girl

her mother her two brothers with severe burns. this morning this woman is in a very severe condition she is she presented to us about five days ago with her son and her husband her son has been died with severe burns and she is still surviving with a very critical condition the doctors and nurses here look as stunned as the civilians who survived in heavily bombarded areas it's hard to imagine how the medical staff can cope with these truly horrendous cases a human being if i see whole family is the killed under the rubble of their house the house. and these people and all the families killed. in one of the instances i have a child here he was all the time crying because he lost all his families he lost

his father his mother his brother is a grandfather and all the time he's crying he wants his father his mother so i closed the door of my office and i sat crying those that survived this war will have to bat the physical and psychological scars for years to come and. ask for what weaponry is causing these injuries it's not entirely clear. having is very severe the magnitude of destruction of the human beings those ones are intended to kill mass casualties of people with bodies and face is. on the ground it feels as if during this war israel is fixed on stopping harasses rockets once and for all regardless of the incredible civilian toll. the attack on the school comes after a severe bombardment of the gal's

a strip that saw the only power station there destroyed the international has already been once the destruction of the plant calling it a quote collective punishment for palestinians the electricity shortages will harm on already devastated region worsening the problems with the water supply and medical care. a former israeli air force officer believes her country's tactics are hard to condole. i 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 in times of war we can do whatever we want without boundaries 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 in our government ministers a government calls to raise gaza to flatten whole neighborhoods in gaza well this is sort of violence that have to you know to be drawn down to the people so the sentiments these days are very harsh it's hard to make any criticism. 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. now the ongoing operation in gaza has already seen more than twelve hundred people killed with israel getting little support from across the world and that death toll keeps growing in the latest israeli attack at least fifteen palestinians were killed more than one hundred injured a busy market in gas that was targeted by the israeli or of course was during the humanitarian truce a claim by television earlier today which is denounced as a publicity stunt by us. we are right across the on falling events in

palestine and if you'd like to know more do log on to our website r t dot com where you can find the latest pictures analysis and eyewitness reports all just a click away. the u.s. has expanded its list of individual economic sanctions against russia. on the measures we announced two weeks ago the united states is imposing new sanctions and key sectors of the russian economy washington's once again pick some of russia's biggest financial pillars take a v t be for example as the country's second largest bank the group also operates in europe asia and africa one of its subsidiaries the bank of moscow is also on the list another major institution russia's agricultural bank which funds the farming sector has been hit as well all are now barred from u.s. capital markets should they apply for medium or long term loans also on the list the united ship building corp russia's largest holding in the field will be

prevented from importing certain equipment going to church account reports on what's behind the new measures. president obama was asked if this tension could effectively mean the beginning of a new cold war he disagreed he said he does not see another cold war coming but that's not the way many people see it there was a hearing in the u.s. congress several hours before the president's announcement or you could hear the usual voices calling for increasing tensions and pressure on russia and then there was this one congressman the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee who offered different perspective you know. there was a tremendous potential to make a friend of tremendous potential they withdraw their troops from eastern europe. the russians. were open to all kinds of interactive human being korean part of the world community and. a tremendous opportunity i should say was

squandered in the last few weeks we've seen. one after another not even related to the crisis in ukraine the u.s. has just announced its conclusion that russia violated an arms control treaty from nine hundred eighty seven american officials say russia tested cruise missiles as early as two thousand and eight so this accusation has been years in the making but u.s. officials to formally announce this accusation now when the tension between moscow and washington is already high on the other side of the atlantic the u.k. government announced an inquiry into the death. he was poisoned in two thousand and six in london whether or not that case will ever be close to russia will be the headlines for weeks related to a murder case then in the netherlands the international arbitration court has ruled in favor of the shareholders of the defunct oil company and ordered russia to pay about fifty billion dollars in damages that lawsuit was ten years old now officials in all these countries say that this had nothing to do with the current tense

political environment but the events did a lot of questions about timing. believes the u.s. is using the sanctions and excuse to crack down on russia for its independent point of view which is not aligned with washington's the other reason according to the foreign ministry is designed to help the u.s. with its own trade economy. comus max was believes u.s. firms will be trying to slip past the new restrictions it's a little bit hard to nail down exactly but there will be serious potential public relations as well as regulatory fallout so i do think you're going to see folks make a good faith effort to first understand what exactly this means and then to very quickly especially given again they're really short time frame here quickly be compliant with what they think exactly this means as it becomes hopefully more clear in the days ahead. e.u. leaders by the u.s. sanctions they also agreed to impose their own measures on russia which could

potentially hurt the country's financial and energy sector peter all of her has more. leaders have put forward sweeping sanctions against russia in a joint statement the president of the european council home and van rompuy the head of the european commission always in one world but also said that these sanctions were intended to send a strong warning to russia where is previously sanctions imposed by the e.u. it targeted individuals or one particular company these are targeting huge sect is the russian economy so what they are looking at is energy where russia will have restricted access to technologies in the financial sector would be blocking russian access to e.u. funds that are available and in defense a arms involved in both the import and export of weapons into or out of russia however any previously existing contracts won't be affected by the us now the united kingdom has announced that it wants to push ahead with even further stronger

sanctions against russia but what we are expecting is that here the full wording of the sanctions agreed on by all the e.u. heads of government and the sides are expected to come into effect on the first of all this will be reviewed after three months whereby they can be scrapped all continue depending on what european leaders decide. global oil giant b.p. has said in a statement it's not affected by the sanctions against russia the company however believes this could change in the future if further pressure is placed on moscow but it's not just b.p. more and more western companies are concerned about the way they do business with russia for many russia is a perfect place to use advanced drilling technology from the e.u. the u.s. which is now impossible under the new restrictions this could hurt moscow's plans to dig into the resource laden arctic but it would also leave big international players without access to these reserves plus some of russia's exports include rare

materials like titanium which will be off the shopping list companies like boeing are likely to see their money fracturing cost skyrocket but there are those that still believe there is light at the end of the tunnel and russia as a superpower in a lot of ways they have access to a great deal of funding you know they have investments from all over the world they have major companies investing in russia you have deals with huge will traders like gun bore and veto who are keeping russia financed in some ways so i don't think that russia is going to be hit as badly is as perhaps the e.u. the u.s. would like to have never seen sanctions implemented for ninety days only before so i think they're sending a message to the russians we really don't want to go through with this possibly because they think it may harm themselves so i think they're very much hoping that the situation will improve in the relationship and that they can disappear after

ninety days russian stock markets have grown slightly today at the spike the sanctions being a nine style xander prust fear yakov who is an investment banker and partner at lake shore international think traders are optimistic that sanctions might not last all that long. given the fact that the same shows are not as harsh as we thought they would be especially given the three month period after which the sanctions will have to be renewed european union will have to vote for the sanctions which we need to do to get back to normal and this is not a big probability that it will happen because this usually happen that. the financial world prepares for the worst and then it's not as bad as you expect and you get this like correction yeah you know this is what happened like we sort of hit the whole world was was in the red zone and russia was the only market trading in the green and this is just because of the sell on rumors why in fact as these. sanctions expire in ninety days what should we read into that that they only last

for a finite amount of time will have a lot of pressure in terms of raising capital for the beings that are involved in the sanctions. or stayed on being as they are they can get funding from this they can get on the central bank in three months period i don't think they plan to issue any boards that you showed them during the last month and two ones that you raise several billion dollars from the european investors so there was not this is more positive news for us on top of sanctions washington accused moscow of refusing to help the investigation into the fatal crash of m.h. seventeen in eastern ukraine two weeks ago but the russian foreign ministry says the country was the first to hand over evidence into what could have done the malaysian plane. the solution musical not all according to rules of the international civil aviation organization russia cannot just come here and say hi there we put sr painting in the probe we're supposed to wait for an official invitation from the international commission and that's from the netherlands this

invitation was sent just a couple of days ago and after that we immediately decided on our representatives who started their work straight away. coming up here on r.t.e. international a full charm offensive for african leaders in washington we look at what mike tarbert be driving president obama's attempts to win hearts minds and influence across africa. if you drive people away from the dollar many people now it must be serious saying gosh if we have u.s. dollars and the u.s. decides they don't like us they're going to put sanctions on us so people more and more people will say maybe i should use the u.s. dollar. this is the media leave us so we leave the people. of the same motions to the other
