for a politician the last regular tax. just to wrap. up. coming up on our t.v. the civilian death toll in gaza rises another you one school was shelled by israeli defense forces during this conflict more on the violence gripping gaza and the humanitarian crisis it's causing just ahead. the e.u. has joined the u.s. and have launched a new round of partial sanctions against russia over the crisis in ukraine the new measures take aim at large swaths of the russian economy but will they work. and three d. printing food or firearms is so twenty thirteen the u.s. military now wants to use this technology to print warheads right on the battlefield more on that coming up.

it's wednesday july thirtieth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm manila chan you're watching r.t. america. the death toll continues to climb in gaza as schools marketplaces and hospitals are attacked by israeli defense force missiles and now some world leaders are speaking out about the growing death toll but libya's president evill morales we're now it's announced a visa exemption agreement with israel today and said quote in other words we are declaring israel a terrorist state. his statement comes after at least nineteen palestinians were confirmed dead after a shelling at a un run school this morning the death toll between both sides is nearing thirteen hundred but take a look at this chart victims more than one thousand two hundred of them were palestinians largely civilians children included while only fifty six israelis have

been killed most of which were military only three of those deaths were civilians in gaza just to put into perspective is only one hundred thirty nine square miles it's roughly twenty six miles long and approximately thirteen miles wide not exactly a huge area of land to house nearly two million people that's about the size of las vegas with the population density of boston or detroit artie's harry fear is on the ground in gaza and has more. 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 the nice united nations run shelter has come under fire we have been catching up with those most severely affected with worms during these ongoing hostilities. it's hard to fathom how such a bass 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 unit or a small fraction of the surviving injured this girl three years old. this israel is demolished the house of this family so we deceived. her mother. would see. this morning. this

woman is a very severe condition she is she presented us about five days ago with her son and her husband her son and husband died with severe burns and she's still surviving with a very critical condition but doctors nurses here look at the civilians who've survived in heavily bombarded areas it's hard to imagine how the medical staff can cope with these truly horrendous cases human being if i see whole families the killed under the rubble of their house the house they want to. these people and all the family is killed. in one of the instances i have a child here he was all the time crying because he lost all his family's you'll see his father his mother his brother is a grandfather and all the time he's crying he wants his mother so i closed the door

of my office and i sat crying you those that survived this were. the physical and psychological scars. to. prove what is causing these injuries you know sometimes it. is very severe the magnitude of the destruction of the of the human beings those. people. on the ground it feels as if during this war israel is. stopping her masters rockets. following this continued tragedy could the attack on the u.n. school and our fruit and vegetable market in gaza city finally be the tipping point many experts don't see this coming to an end any time soon although israel did

declare a four hour ceasefire in some areas of the gaza strip citing humanitarian reasons that ended wednesday with no extension israeli newspaper ha'aretz reported that the state is considering submitting a resolution to the un security council that would end the conflict somewhere to the one that ended the war in lebanon back in one thousand nine hundred six earlier i was joined by. a human rights attorney and gaza i first asked him what the living conditions are like there right now. it would mean given there isn't anybody you are in the human did you and human rights and you were these were named and share in the extreme to do it in the humanitarian situation because it's here and why this israeli military escalation and you were. speaking about the crisis it began as an assault. of their being

damaged by israeli forces or there is. a big piece of blood and water and this actually affected the way a billion people who like milk and meat very slowly and living in this and that of the get a city and we have need that a lot of the water and almost six days on the operating through a small. and you go to that they go to. the number of. their sons exceeded two hundred thousand people who are more skilled will stand by you and does it need to chill over the overflow. but would the health and psychological care and a lot of the major concern here that these children are so remote but the this morning and for the decision is that either the patient births were the. right one

of the ship doors in or of the guests and that the ends of children being killed and injured literally i can say that there is no say in it because mr right now from that that bombing yes trade the bombing that we went to gaza's only power plant as well can you tell us how the territories nearly two million people are how are you guys accessing electricity right now. well actually as they told you like since five days we didn't have the there's actually. those people who have some money but if somebody has a few hours. or some small generators like me and this is part of the this is a major. crisis that we. can imagine two thousand and ten out of this list and one of the on the school in which you have the signatures or did. they have electricity or someone who is coming to help the humanitarian efforts there is

anybody coming to help the palestinians. was revealed as long as this isn't a list elation goes to be the. prize with. one hundred. hundreds of thousands were killed until this moment one thousand eight hundred there were killed by their sense of the deal and you know those are not these are not numbers with human beings like me and you and other people and you will be near us and then we have. to look in about the disasters you made that any crisis that this. patient forces. we had we call upon all. organizations the un but this to hold up it's just going to be that there's been so this problem the start of the bloodshed now

these images that are being seen here in the u.s. nearly thirteen hundred deaths along the gaza many many more injuries how are your hospitals coping over there how are they dealing with all the people the influx of people coming and. the. results they measure the system working and this situation. they don't have electricity so they have to work it through. major like like some big innovation. big generation. in giant. solar or what i mean takes almost and people there were two. like. it helps people or you know to get some people who are injured and this really at that so if you

want to hear them because this is like subject to c.d.'s in. serious danger and this is the thing about we actually have subpoena hidden because they are said. to be innocent because they. are older. than this stuff i think. it's hard to describe this situation. however i can. summarize it it's leads us are there enough hospital beds to cover all the people that are coming in you know no action and there are no. unfortunately these. would be nice at the moment the biggest. in addition. from your. they were prevented from coming together. and healing people. that was human rights attorney

cully allow was there from gaza. the u.s. which provides huge amounts of money to israel for defense is under pressure to help stop the rising death toll in gaza artie's amir and david pressed the state department today about the number of civilian casualties that are mounting. fighting between israel and hamas is only as collating in gaza with the death toll now hovering above twelve hundred people now just today there were two major disasters one of a un school and another at a busy city market killing at least thirty people and wounding over a hundred and fifty more i attended the state department briefing earlier where i asked about that extraordinary really high death toll and whether it will compel the u.s. to take a tougher stance with israel take a listen but israel has long said that it has the right to self-defense of course you echoed that sentiment and it's been said this route this conflict and even up until now we have twelve hundred people over twelve hundred people that have been

killed thousands more that have been injured is there going to be a point where you say you know this enormous amount of casualties is not justified look a lot of what you just said is true in the first part of there with the first part that israel does have a right to defend itself if you live in a city where rockets were coming from terrorist repeatedly where you had to run to a bomb shelter repeatedly i think you probably feel pretty strongly that israel has a right to defend itself we've announced again this week additional funding for the iron dome system which does exactly this but we have said that in their efforts to fight this threat they do need to take additional steps to prevent civilian casualties we know it's a challenging operating environment we know it's very densely populated you know we throughout conflicts we've fought in our history have taken extraordinary steps in afghanistan in iraq to prevent civilian casualties and we've called on the israelis to do more when it comes to the u.n. facility being targeted the state department would not confirm that they believe

israel is responsible they say that they are waiting for more facts to emerge in the aftermath of those incidents however the israeli military offered a four hour humanitarian ceasefire in specific areas of the gaza strip but hamas this missed that partial temporary truce. as a media stunt saying it would not allow rescue workers time to retrieve casualties in combat zones that israel had excluded from that ceasefire here's what the state department had to say about that what we're focused on is an unconditional humanitarian ceasefire as a last woman us. to allow for serious negotiations to begin in cairo and for originally needed humanitarian assistance to get in so obviously that's longer than four hours so we're working with the parties on what that might look like israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was due to review progress on a ceasefire with his security cabinet today at the same time a palestinian delegation was expected in cairo for discussions it's unclear what

will come out of this latest round of talks last week secretary of state john kerry failed to achieve a breakthrough and this latest explosion of violence is only further dashing international hopes of garnering a long term cease fire reporting in washington amir a day that r.t. . and frustration is growing as violence in eastern ukraine deterred international investigators from inspecting the malaysian airlines crash site for the fourth day fighting between ukrainian forces and anti-government separatists has intensified now with the military claiming separatists are laying landmines to prevent the site from being properly investigated a claim that cannot be independently confirmed meanwhile the ukrainian military is advancing in the region c.n.n. is reporting that the ukrainian government may be using its most deadly weapons yet in the conflict c.n.n. says u.s. officials tell them military forces fired several short range ballistic missiles

into eastern ukraine in the past few days each said to be carrying warheads up to about a thousand pounds each potentially further adding to that mounting civilian death toll this week the u.n. released their estimated number of the casualties from the months long conflict the u.n. says at least eleven hundred civilians have been killed and nearly four thousand injured and that death toll it's growing just today the town. in eastern ukraine saw more shelling after thirty one civilians died there in just the last two days according to local authorities here's what some of the residents had to say about the violence in their own words. don't come up with. your. if

you want to be. disappointed you really have minutes a day. but if you. wish me to meet him as it was on the night i. want. i just. now those were just some locals responding to the violence in the town of course in eastern ukraine. and a group of former u.s. intelligence officers are calling on the president to release more intel into the crash investigation of malaysian airlines flight seventeen the group sent the white house a letter today they want the president to release more details about the crash and the evidence on how the plane was brought down one of the former intelligence officers who signed the letter spoke to our team this evening he says the u.s. has a pattern of making claims without providing enough evidence that we saw particularly

in the case a year ago almost a year ago with respect to syria where again the united states tried to make a case that was not based upon evidence suggested it was the syrian government that use sarin gas against syrian civilians when in fact it was the isis rebels operating in syria that used it and in that case again russia played a very important role in keeping the united states from doing something very stupid but as you recall and as we noted in our memo john kerry made those several references condemning and accusing russia of being implicated in this kind of operation that is simply not the case so one of the it's sort of it's a double edged sword the social media can be used to smear a country but also as the social media provides another very important outlet for getting truth out there and on our point is very simple if there's actual evidence

marshall it show what if it's indisputable but as we've seen repeatedly from the u.s. intelligence community where there was in the law is used to justify the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three up through the information that was leaked last year with respect to syria more often than not there are lies being produced that have a bigger intention to mislead the american public to justify actions against russia that we do not believe are justified. that was retired cia analyst and former state department official larry johnson. the u.s. and e.u. are expanding sanctions against russia it's too early to tell how these new rounds of sanctions will affect the russian economy but what they have affected without question is the relationship between the u.s. the e.u. and russia in fact u.s. congressman dana rohrbacher believes the potential for good relations between moscow and d.c.

at the end of the cold war has been lost you know after the soviet union fell it was a tremendous potential to making russia our friend it tremendous potential they withdraw their troops from eastern europe. the russians. were open to all kinds of interacting and being coming part of the world community and a horrible a tremendous opportunity i should say was squandered. with a closer look at how the e.u. sanctions may affect the russian economy here's artie's peter all over. b.-u. leaders have put forward sweeping sanctions against russia in a joint statement the president of the european council home and been wrong be the head of the european commission or as in manuel 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 sectors

of the russian economy so what they are looking at is energy where russia will have restricted access to technologies in the financial sector will be blocking russian access to e.u. funds that are available and in defense a. binding both the import and export of weapons into or out of russia however any previously existing contract will 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 we are expecting it to hear 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 come be scrapped will continue depending on what european leaders decide and that was artie's peter oliver. and three d. printing has revolutionized the world once just a concept like the holodeck from star trak you can pretty much three d.

print anything you want these days maybe even a warhead r.t.s. megalo has explores this new technology from the army. curtis three d. printed guns or bubbleheads or pizza space x. founder elan musk even proved to the world that you can three d. printing a rocket engine but as is the case with most up and coming technology the military has taken particularly interest in the concept the army is working on a way to three d. print yet this war heads the july issue of army technology magazine spoke at length about the u.s. army armament research development and engineering center's ventures into the realm of three d. printing now a three d. printing is a process of making something from stock materials such as metal or plastic powder by adding in material in a successive layer it's also known as additive manufacturing or a m. with an entire war head being three d. printed designers can more closely control the design aspects down to how the

warhead breaks apart during detonation engineer james izumi notes hold army magazine quote once you get into detonation physics you open up a whole new universe the real value you get is that you can get more safety lethality and operational capability from the same space the military would be able to program a blast radius as well for each individual warhead given specific needs to climb warhead creation methods were developed back during world war two or even before that and they have not varied dramatically each warhead consists of over one hundred complex parts which could be reduced to just a few if that warhead is in fact printed now the goal of the project is to save money and to give the military the capability to access weaponry without waiting for a depot to ship the materials out quote if you are a soldier in a f.o.b. or forward operational base in afghanistan everything is different it's not as easy

as running down to the home depot and picking up a screwdriver and when it comes to money those costs add up when you add all the transportation costs. fuel security is then it might be cheaper to print one and that's not to mention the safety aspects since american troops frequently face threats while transporting equipment between bases the army is also researching ways to three different food for troops in the field and even skin for soldiers who have been injured and are in need of skin grafts currently and none of these manufacturing process these are up to military standards and are not ready to be put into use but with more research and more development the future is closer than ever reporting in washington meghan lopez r.t. and before we go go forget to tune in at nine pm for larry king now tonight's guest is major league baseball's albert pools he's here talking about having a child with special needs. little first born's had done some good dance and

team america and that does it for now for more on the stories we just got to go to youtube dot com forward slash r t america for now have a great night. dramas that can't be ignored to. stories there is no. changing the world right now. to take your clothes. from around the globe. don't be.

we're becoming more and more indentured in our corporate servitude every day we depend on corporations to take care of us in every regard as long as we continue to work for their bottom line no matter the cost to the environment our communities our families our own self-worth corporations are now in control of our health care our legislators our old age for crying out loud and now they're trying to control our happiness to more and more corporations across the u.s. are creating a position known as the chief happiness officer or c h o it started in silicon alley as tech companies with job play google's jolly good fellow a real title given to a real grown ass man that post c.e.o. released a book called delivering happiness which spawned

a consulting firm of the same name as their own c h o and now more and more companies across the country are adding chief happiness officers to their management teams these c h o's are responsible for the personal contentment of employees and the way they diagnose the emotional well being of their workers is through some really creepy measures that involves what else survey it the new york times recently published an article on how new forms of surveillance are popping up in the workplace which are designed to increase employee happiness the article describes a digital big brother who watches over workers and motions through gadgets like id badges that monitor communications between workers the tone of voice they use their . posture their body language they monitor all of this to gauge worker happiness c h o's distribute surveys hold workshops adopt cultural policy maintain happiness

indices lots of things they do things like mandate workers take fifteen minute coffee breaks the mind of their workers the motions in a wide variety of ways that invade their employee's privacy this is all creepy enough but we're kids really crazy is when you start to think about the fact that these chief happiness officers aren't tests with making employees happy for their own emotional health they're tasked with making employees happy because then they'll be more productive for the corporation they want employees to be happy only for their physical bottom line how did it is that we are even free to be depressed anymore because it might not match the mys corporate profit potential it's a page rate out of nine hundred eighty four it reeks of orwell's ministry of love with institutionalized happiness being mandated by our corporations i don't know you but if the level of corporate control.
