a deadly attack on a busy marketplace in gaza during a short ceasefire leaves fifteen people dead and the ongoing destruction has led to some i.d.f. soldiers actually laying down there are. tens of thousands flee the fighting in eastern ukraine at least a third of them my children and cities all over russia are prepared to take in the refugees here on r.t. international we hear this story. also britain launches an inquiry into the death of former russian f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko eight years after he was poisoned in london. and the

reports suggest edward snowden's revelations have led to dollars in lost revenue for tech giants it was says there's nothing it. other than an unfair trial government persecution. good morning from moscow it's now eight am here in the russian capital for me and the whole news team welcome to the program. at least fifteen palestinians including a journalist and two paramedics were killed when israeli airstrikes hit a busy marketplace in gaza the shopping area was busy because israel's four hour humanitarian cease fire was supposed to have been in effect. i'm going to give you a little bit. five it.

was. was was was when this was was you want you to. thank god thank god was. israel's full week bombardment has claimed more than thirteen hundred palestinian lives and israel itself has lost fifty eight fifty eight i.d.f. soldiers with hamas violating ceasefires by firing rockets and using tunnels to infiltrate israel and one time national also lost their life. in the meantime the us has condemned wednesday's attack on a un run school in gaza which killed twenty people and washington state when it neglected to actually make any mention of israel john a state department briefing

pushed for an over who was to be held responsible for the attack you say that you condemn the shelling. who shelling are we talking about well we understand that iran has put out a statement on its views that we would underscore the importance of a full and prompt investigation to determine the facts so you are not ready to. israel per se for the shelling of the school correct we have said that there needs to be a full investigation to see what happened here but specifically are you asking the israelis to not make any u.n. facilities a target because there are civilians that are seeking shelter there i'm not going to make a blanket statement at least what i'm going sometimes it's ok i'm not saying that i'm just not going to make a blanket statement about what our private conversations with the israelis look like even if there are rockets inside and i'm not saying they should be used against israel and i'm not saying that they should be gotten rid of i mean they should but ok even if there were rockets inside does that justify the killing. of innocent billions civilians who are seeking shelter obviously nothing justifies the

killing of innocent civilians of seeking shelter seeking cheryl damaged or destroyed in iraq or in a u.n. facility we believe the u.n. here truly should be respected and recognized by everyone we understand it's complicated to understand. but there's a lot of a lot of different pieces happening on the ground and quite frankly a lot of facts we don't know yet and political analyst william dora's says it's pointless for the us to call for an end to hostilities while it's still at this moment supplying arms to israel. washington knows full well what's going on and washington is paying for it if the us government wants to stop the killing in gaza all would have to do is start earning weapons and start spending money to pay for it but the pentagon announced that it was resupplying israel with artillery shells to use against the people who were as a u.s. marine sixteen flown by u.s. trained pilots a reigning u.s. married miss isles they're out on civilians who were trapped in

a cage with nowhere to go and all that were these were a huge about investigation and we want the violence to stop or meaningless and i mean the israeli bombardment of gaza fifty one i.d.f. soldiers are making a stand and refusing to take part in any more destruction artie's paula tells the story in the future i hope. i can aspire to be a reasonable palestinian and after israel no longer exist in yell rosenberg is one of a kind the thirty three year old israeli programmer cuts a solitary figure on the margins of israeli society formerly a soldier in israel's defense forces he now hits a campaign for those who want to resist the draft on political grounds but he knows his views have made him an outcast. i'm not a true israeli unlike some israeli or i'm

a bad israeli in the eyes of the regime. israel is not a place for dissenters a recent poll in israel found that nearly nine out of ten is rabies not only supported the army's operation in gaza but wanted extended those who criticize it are made head on and called naive and traitors during a recent antiwar demonstration in the center of tel aviv fifth when protesters were attacked by right wing extremists chanting death to arabs will attack soon physically fine and the protesters were beaten up on their way home but there remains a small vocal minority who are not afraid to speak out whatever the cost the government a former i.d.f. soldier in occupied territories is one of them but it's very hard to talk about it because. it's very thorough. and that's why i talk. about. that and i want to be quiet anymore about what is

happening over there after the dove now works for breaking the silence and israeli human rights organization which collects testimonies from former soldiers and tells these stories to the world who talk about settlers violence we're talking about drones from saudi towards boasting we're talking about dozens of checkpoints in a very very small area only a few abra even asked to speak out against an institution that beats at the heart of israeli society we have to remember that the soldiers that testify just examples of what any other soldiers are doing not because the soldiers are bad people it just shows the israeli public the reality of what is going on there but most of the israeli public of reluctant to hear a different point of view and are defending the country's bloody war in gaza policy r.t. tell of. discontent with israel's offensive in gaza. has gone global here are the latest pictures from germany where hundreds took to the streets of berlin

angry with the continuing attacks on the palestinian civilians and they were waving flags holding banners and chanting slogans condemning the operation called protective edge my colleagues neil harvey and i have across the earlier discussion just how widespread the anger is i think it's fair to say that social media is changing the way narrative around gaza is playing out and the case of farrah baker a sixteen year old girl from gaza is certainly a good case in point she's a native of gaza her father's a neurosurgeon in the one of the hospitals there and she began live tweeting from her house pictures and vines of an israeli bombardment flares in the sky rockets in the sky this morning now her tweets were basically picked up by media over the weekend and her following absolutely ask the extraordinary wait i understand it has been all plain sailing in short but a successful twitter career her twitter life was temporarily suspended over

the last twenty four hours by the massive power outages that we're seeing in gaza the i.d.f. blew up gaza's only power generator but the power outage doesn't necessarily mean that gazans aren't getting their story yeah neal if we take a quick look at the israel under fire for example which was issued by the i.d.f. when they began their operation into gaza you can just get an idea of how intensely that's being tweeted now let's have a look at gaza under attack and let's see the global impact that this is having as you can see the gaza are under attack. is certainly operating at a much much more intense of a much stronger level than the i.d.f. would like to admit it's all part of the social media war that's been conducted around the gaza lines. our weapon is very closely following all the developments in the israeli gaza conflict you can head to wanting to come to find and live updates the photos the videos the very latest from the combat zone. it's all an

international thanks for joining us with a civilian death count well over a thousand throngs of locals are fleeing the fighting in eastern ukraine at least a third of the refugees are children international monitors that have witnessed the evacuation say it's far from safe even but the cause a clearly marked we did notice a lot of civilians we noticed for example they're always in their cars and they have their word the russian do their job or to go to their windows to give their children their cars so there's definitely a sense of the city that was kind of the the explosions that we heard when we decided to work very. some of those who have managed to cross over to russia obviously hoping to get a fresh start away from the violence. of the kiya was twelve years old when the second world war began and the grandmother remembers that sign that it's late but you probably never imagined that seventy three years later she would once again be

hiding from airstrikes in her own backyard when they have been bombing us and they are still doing it now the jets fly very low you can hear them firing in the morning and in the evening this scam has been operating since mid june displaced people find shelter here for a few days and then move on to places more suitable for longer term living the latest arrivals came from the shell shocked town of slogans. i couldn't sleep during my first night here before i left i said goodbye to my sister ok for the paperwork so that she could have my flat yelena says she's lost everything is the result of kiev's military action her only hope for a fresh start now is in the siberian city of novosibirsk where she has relatives. when nana for something like this could happen i was getting a panch and i was still working now he lost my job my house and my pension. at

least a third of the refugio user children and russian humanitarian authorities try to provide what they can to make their time here as comfortable as possible but no matter the effort such conditions are certainly not normal for these youngsters this trip you can take and hold up to five hundred people is just a kilometer away from the border which frequently comes on their artillery fire from ukraine the people i've talked to here are now one nothing to do with their former country. the last straw was constant shelling and gunfire that force them to practically live in basements or bomb shelters for others the sights of friends and relatives killed by multiple rocket strikes. called for a russian ukrainian border. and russia's ambassador to the united nations has expressed concern that kiev could destroy crucial evidence at the site of the malaysian plane crash is ati's more important. patel york and spoke to the u.n.

security council to raise questions and concerns particularly the he said kiev may be aiming to destroy evidence at the plane crash site that may point to ukraine's role in the downing of malaysian flight seventeen one we have to remember a day after that tragic crash took place ukrainian president petro poroshenko initially ordered a cease fire within a forty kilometer radius of the crash site but ambassador churkin insists that ukraine's new task is to take the territory under control now the russian envoy says that ukraine's current military actions violate a recent un security council resolution that was adopted resolution twenty one thirty six which calls for investigators to have unrestricted access to the crash site in order to conduct an impartial independent investigation into the downing of the plane now as a result of. military offensive in eastern ukraine investigators can't get to the crash site no there can't be an ongoing investigation currently because of all the

fighting is he going to lose he should. use the news or was it easy. to. do the decisions that he was your disease which was. this is not true it was easy so from the sam point of russia russia's point of view is that you know why is ukraine beefing up its military offensive particularly after the ukrainian president promised that there would be no fighting within a forty mile radius of the area ambassador churkin also went on to say that he hopes that all of all countries will continue to play a positive role in the ongoing investigation he says moscow has given the u.n. and the o.s.c. eat their data from from their objective monitoring of the crash site and he hopes that all parties will play a constructive. rol instead of spreading unfounded accusations and making

insinuations into who is to blame for the tragedy of the plane going down a few weeks ago. a group of former u.s. intelligence officials are now saying that washington has failed to produce a strong case to back up its allegations against russia over the airline tragedy in fact they went as far as to write an open letter to president obama pointing to deep flaws in the evidence provided so far we heard from an ex cia and state department employee larry johnson who was among those who signed the letter. our point is very simple if there is actual evidence martial that 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 laws being produced that

have a bigger intention to mislead the american public to justify actions against russia that we do not believe are justified and for the mainstream us media the ukrainian crisis is pretty clear picture in their eyes all the complexities involved all bowed down to just one person the only person the russian president. is going after can report on the apparent obsession with a lot of it. president obama said he does not believe this growing tension with russia could be the beginning of a new cold war no. no it's not a new cold war one could only wish turn this thought the same or at least those who are making covers of magazines because some of them hark back to cold war as if they were made back in the day no matter how complicated an issue you can be almost certain that the media are going to boil it down to personalities well with ukraine

it's one personality the russian president what does he do when he isn't working or often an outdoor adventure and why don't we see him smiling very much he's not really driven by by women or by we're distracted by alcohol he's very tough he's a very arrogant. person to deal with and what kind of diplomacy can you expect moving forward when diplomats use this kind of language this is the you came back to the united states speaking give me three adjectives you'd use to describe a lot of your proof. i'm not a poet but. i think. dishonest afraid comes to mind because we've heard all these lies. but i think it's a reckless to makes one wonder if they really want to solve the problem or if they're good with the current state of affairs the media focus on the russian president has had its effect on twitter where users came up with the hash tag. and

now many use it to comment on pretty much anything it didn't rain in my country today i blame poison for it or a mosquito just bit me blamed. reports about a mysterious craters in siberia blame putin and then to the report that former georgian president saakashvili doesn't want to go back to his country to stand trial and says he blames putin this use of goes if you are in trouble just playing . it in washington i'm going to keep many more stories waiting for you online that are called could even both become the player of the twenty first century a hospital and has now agreed to accept infected patients leaving germany's neighbors to worry about the incurable virus spreading all across europe. one hundred twenty three million dollars the compensation a texas woman wants from facebook discover online just what you saw as the social

network has done. opens an inquiry today into the death of former russian intelligence officer alexander litvinenko comes eight years after he was poisoned in the u.k. by radioactive polonium. sick and lying on his deathbed this is how the world got to know alexander litvinenko a former f.s.b. officer who fled russia and made london his new home it was his accusations against the russian government which propelled his not serai stories of senior officials in moscow supposedly ordering assassinations and carrying out terror attacks and the world ate it up because the litvinenko was presented as a famous this of the somebody who was upsetting the kremlin who was revealing some sort of secrets that were upsetting president putin himself this was not the case

at all it's been nearly eight years since alexander litvinenko death yet his family are nowhere near the truth and very pleased to see this decision in the public inquiry and i know it's in the as a long time to wait and it's not as it munce is in the air but frankly if it were to see if this but why has it been such a long road to this truth let's take a look at what's been achieved so far british prosecutors accuse the two men co's former colleagues of murdering him durance he both deny and involvements russia refuses to extradite any of its own citizens because the constitution doesn't allow it's the british inquest is delayed as the coroner decides a public inquiry will be better ministers rule out that option the high court supports the idea of an inquiry so a public inquiry is announced the main twist to this case came after revelations

litvinenko was allegedly working for m i six as well us with the spanish security services and this is precisely the kind of data which will now be scrutinized as a public inquiry does allow secret sensitive government material to be examined i do this not it against. what you know and i do this for just if i do this for two years i would like to show people you able to get justice in any difficult to create. a truth which could turn out to be uncomfortable to swallow for some marine a cost of artsy. a new report suggests that edward snowden's revelations could have cost us tech giants like amazon or drop box tens of billions of dollars the companies have seen the sales plunge off to every significant disclosure there was a blow it just recently gave an interview to britain's guardian newspaper and

snowden denied that he was now working for the russian government he said if the u.s. government had any evidence evidence to prove that it would have been splashed all over the american media snowden was also pessimistic about the prospects of ever receiving a fair trial he said he would rather stay in russia than return home and face unlawful prosecution and activist and journalist norman solomon also believes the u.s. government wants only to throw snowden behind bars for as long as possible it's really not possible for edward snowden to get a fair trial and united states the structure of the legal system and the politics in the usa involve a way in which the u.s. government is the judge with curie and the sentence or there is enormous you are in . the top of this whole. community of the united states to silence the voice of edward snowden and you know they would like to do to snowden

what they did to chelsea manning yet him back in the united states court in solitary confinement then any meaningful contact with the news media or the paul and then put him away in prison. and germany is now looking to take on the n.s.a. on its own ground that of technology has come up with a cellphone which it's claiming now to be utterly spy proof artie's pretty or all of our picks up the receiver. the leaked n.s.a. documents that were brought to light by edward snowden revealed germany to be one of the most spied on countries in the world this prompted outrage among the german people and put the german government on the back foot as people look to them to take action against what they see is an infringement on their civil liberties well the latest move the german government of made is to introduce new technologically advanced cell phones that apparently make it almost impossible for anybody to

listen in on to find out more about whether these are any good any use or whether they will appease the german people who better to talk to than a crypto specialist costa knowles joins me right now carson. all these phones going to be enough to make sure that german government communications are safe. new phones to protect very well what they're trying to protect and that is very very little of the information that actually is communicated via phone they don't aim to protect for instance your location and your internet surfing what do you send to the internet what social media do you serve is what information does. adapted to who is a special app so they're just a normal phone really a blackberry in the case of the german government was a little crypto chip and a phone in addition very much like skype so that two people with the same app can have an encrypted phone conversation with the government pays ten times as much for

the same phones one hundred that protects maybe one out of one hundred phone calls and makes no difference in the security of let's say internet browsing the germans are much more a pal by americans spying on private citizens not government versus government spy versus spy but the u.s. government interfering was the private affairs of germans living in germany and giving out expensive phones to government employees of course does not seem to protect german so. does in fact that money would be much wiser spend to create actual protection productive people can afford and thank you very much for talking to me that i was a crypto specialist well it seems that if you're the man in the street there's no way for you to hide from the n.s.a.'s prying eyes. some of the global headlines in brief police were using water cannons to stop fighting between supporters of two presidential candidates both of whom were rivals of the current prime minister of
