1:03 am
for the attack you say that you condemn of 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 condemn israel per se for the shelling of the school correctly having said that there needs to be a full investigation to see what happened here but specifically are you asking the israelis q 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 should they should be gotten rid of i mean they should but ok even if there were rockets inside does that justify it. killing of innocent civilians civilians who are seeking shelter obviously nothing justifies the killing of innocent civilians if he can show that he can share

a damaged or destroyed iraq if in a un facility we believe the u.n. here truly should be respected and recognized by everyone we understand it's complicated to understand. look 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 political analyst william doris he says the u.s. is calling for an end to hostilities at the very same time it did dispatches more weapons to israel. washington knows full well what's going on and washington is paying for it if the u.s. government wants to stop the killing in gaza all would have to do is start spend thirteen 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. sixteen flown by u.s. trained pilots a reigning u.s. married misfiled there out on civilians who are trapped in a cage with nowhere to go and all that were these where
1:05 am
a huge about investigation and we want the violence to stop or meaningless and israel right now calling up sixteen thousand additional reserve troops as this assault goes on and there are already fifty one i.d.f. soldiers who are making a stand and refusing to take part in any more destruction. tells the story in the future i hope. i can aspire to be reasonable palestinian and after israel no longer exists. as 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
1:06 am
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 on meet 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 the bullet tax return physically fine and when 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 it's very hard to talk about it because. it's very very thorough. and that's why i think about. ok that's going to be quite even more about what is
1:07 am
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 to 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 of brave enough 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 of. my discontent with israel's offensive in gaza has. on global terrorism pictures right here the latest from germany where hundreds took to the streets of
1:08 am
angry with the continuing attacks on palestinian civilians they were waving flags holding banners and charging slogans condemning the operation known as protective edge my colleagues and i across to you earlier to discuss just how widespread the young girls. 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 is 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 a little extraordinary weight i understand it has been all plain sailing in short but successful twitter career her twitter life was temporarily suspended
1:09 am
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 out neal if we took 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 guys 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. very interesting story and it just comes from the ground is nothing that's why people find it so interesting there's not a political involvement in a sense it's the people really in the heart of the matter is i like to think of it that maybe social media is just. very closely following all the developments in the
1:10 am
gaza conflict if you go to you can find the latest live updates photos videos. just turning ten minutes past the hour here in moscow with a civilian death count well over a thousand. 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 for the cars that are clearly marked. we did notice the flow of civilians we noticed for example always in their cars and they had their word in russian do their job or to come to their windows to get their children their cars so there's definitely a sense of urgency that was. the the explosions that we heard when we decided to turn or. at all times roman culture reference some of those who have crossed over to russia obviously hoping to get
1:11 am
a fresh start away from the violence. or even the kiya was twelve years old when the second world war began and the grandmother remembers that sign that italy but you probably never imagined that seventy three years later she would once again be hiding from airstrikes in her own backyard and being 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. you spoke i couldn't sleep during my first night here before i left i said goodbye to my sister ok for the paperwork said that she could have my flat. yelena says she has lost everything is the result of kiev's military action her only hope for
1:12 am
a fresh start now is in the siberian city of novosibirsk where she has relatives living in the morning when nana fought something like this could happen i was getting the pension and was still working and now lost my job my house and my pension but you at least a third of the refugees are children and russian humanitarian authorities try to provide what they can to make their it's i'm here as comfortable as possible but no matter the effort such conditions are certainly not normal for these youngsters this hurricane season 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 and forced to practically live in basements or bomb shelters for others this site so friends and relatives killed by multiple rocket strikes. called for an artsy russian ukrainian
1:13 am
border. a group of full money u.s. intelligence officials saying that washington has failed to back up its allegations against russia over the malaysian boeing tragedy in fact they went as far as to write an open letter to president obama insisting the secretary of state's claims about the plane crash seem premature and are an attempt to quote poison the jury we heard from an ex cia and state department employee that have laurie johnson he was among those who actually saw in this letter. our point is very simple if there's 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
1:14 am
that we do not believe are justified and for the mainstream us media the ukrainian crisis is a pretty clear picture in their eyes all the complexities involved well they boil down to one person the russian president guy nature can report on the apparent obsession with not have made putin. 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 the 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's working all for an outdoor adventure and why don't we see him smiling very much he's not really
1:15 am
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 to 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 had all these lies. but i think that'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 a hash tag putin and now many use it to comment on pretty much anything. it didn't rain in my country today i blame pointing for it or
1:16 am
a mosquito just bit me blamed putin. reports about a mysterious craters in siberia blame points in 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 sports in this use it goes if you are in trouble just playing. it washington i'm going to check on our team it's a busy day for you is here with the international the rest of your top world headlines and just. the media leave us so we leave the. lot of the same motions to the other your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is there still with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all politics.
1:17 am
if you drive people away from the dollar many people now it must be sitting there 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 would say maybe i should use the u.s. dollars. good morning from britain opens an inquiry today into the death of former russian
1:18 am
intelligence officer alexander litvinenko and comes eight years after he was poisoned in the u.k. by radioactive polonium. with more. 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 and of 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 receive this decision in the
1:19 am
public inquiry and i know it's in there as a long time to wait and it's not is it months is in maybe a year but finally if you receive 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 murder and him dear and see both deny and involvements russia refuses to extradite any of its own citizens because the constitution doesn't allow it's the british inquest this delayed as the coroner the sides of 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 twists of this case came after revelations litvinenko was allegedly working for m i six as well us with a spanish security services and this is precisely the kind of data which will now
1:20 am
be scrutinized as a public inquiry does allow secret sensitive government material to be examined i do this not against. russia. 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 creationism. a truth which could turn out to be uncomfortable to swallow for some marine artsy. and it will bring you all the latest updates on the inquiry for you on air and online where many many stories await you right now for example this one. could become the plague of the twenty first century hospital and how to accept infected patients leaving germany's neighbors to worry about being curable virus spreading across europe. and one hundred twenty three million dollars that's the compensation a texas woman wants from facebook. she says the social network has done.

a new report suggests that edward snowden's revelations could have cost us tech giants like amazon or dropbox tens of billions of dollars of the company's have seen their sales plunge off to every significant disclosure there was a blow just recently gave an interview to britain's guardian newspaper as well where snowden actually denied that he was now working for the russian government he said if the u.s. government had any 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 in fact he said he would rather stay in russia than return home and face unlawful prosecution and antiwar activist in 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
1:22 am
a fair trial in the united states the structure of the vehicle system and the politics in the usa involve a way in which the u.s. government is the judge the jury and the sentencer there is enormous eagerness. the top official the so-called intelligence community of the united states earning the power to silence the voice of edward snowden they would like to do to snowden what they did to chelsea manning get him back in the united states put him in solitary confinement prevent any meaningful contact with the news media or the public and then put him away in prison germany is looking to take on the n.s.a. on its own ground of technology it's come up with a cell phone which is claimed to be totally spy proof on his patrol of
1:23 am
a 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 carlson. are 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
1:24 am
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 in a phone or an 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 palko 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. citizens in

fact that money would be much wiser spend to create actual protection productive people can afford cars and thank you very much for talking to me that i was a crypto specialist and 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 by some of the global headlines in brief to istanbul where police have been using water cannons to. two presidential candidates both of the rivals of the current prime minister of the one i first spoke kodesh condit were attacked by a supporting the former head of the organization of islamic cooperation stones were thrown at a stand erected by the codes and the leaflets set on fire the presidential elections will be staged in august in turkey. hundreds of taking to the streets of board to support president cristina is argentina deals with economic difficulties in the country has failed to reach an agreement with international creditors on its debt

1:27 am
sometimes i am baffled by the closed little world that a lot of people in the mainstream media must live in they seem shocked and appalled at the fact that around forty percent of the weapons supplied to afghanistan have gone missing let's ignore the fact that while americans are going broke the u.s. must rebuild the afghan military and think for justice. and what would happen if you sent a lot of weapons into a country in dire economic suffering i'm sure you've heard reports that say that afghan farmers could only make a living off of poppy crops because they just have no other resort so if you throw a bunch of guns and ammo into the hands of people who have the career choices of poppies or starvation yeah that someone might be willing to sell some bullets to get by also we shouldn't forget that every government on earth has people in it working for their old self interests or others interests it is totally naive to think that every person involved in the process of transferring weapons will be loyal to the afghan government which seems to have been put in place by

the u.s. is among the top countries in the world in terms of state executions at least we can rest assured knowing that these people deserved to die or not see back in two thousand and twelve the f.b.i. open investigation into thousands of convictions including forty five death row cases this after the washington post reported that flawed forensic evidence might have been responsible for hundreds of wrongful convictions well it turns out that the results of the investigation are far worse than even the washington post originally reported and in fact nearly every case reviewed by the f.b.i. include flawed forensic testimony why won't because agents positively identify defendants using a hair samples something that the bureau specifically prohibits because of its unreliability the findings were so worrisome the f.b.i. halted the entire investigation last year into the d.o.j. ordered it to reopen the probe just a side note to the f.b.i. since the.
