am in moscow good to have you with us on r.t. international our top story this hour israel and hamas have agreed to an unconditional seventy two hour cease fire to start on friday morning the statement simultaneously released by the united nations and the u.s. who brokered the truce well true has the details. according to the touring thing many says basically that the she's probably off the stand few hours giving the video and an opportunity to bury that dead written in the tank take care of the injured refocus and to the surprise it would also and i was in to do over ga repairs on essential hotel and the ga infrastructure that there has been sporadic strikes in fact at the hotel that some of us journalists were staying at just being evacuated ahead of another strike in the area in response to rocket fire from hamas

the gaza strip to be on the job and now for three weeks we can about the sort of destruction of the garden and there is barely any electricity because of that there is very few to reach systems working in addition keyboard supplies doing the thing about a phone network coverage going down and the internet to reading civilians have very little i mean addition they can access markets to get through huge areas are still on the heavy bombardment these are the forces have created a buffer zone three kilometers long with a basically a race to the ground homes that pushing refugees into the very crowded center of gaza which is also on to the involvement. in the hospitals that heading off that they only have five days left if you how they generate it off to that they'll have to shut down meaning that you can have injured sit in children basically without any access to medical aid at twelve at a time when they're being faced with an onslaught so it makes three main difficult

on the ground extremely dangerous and i think people are just hoping that a seventy two hours they can have a breath they can breathe and not she took off of that wounded get crushed the price and basically just take a break from this terrifying on through if operation protective age into its fourth week and the number of palestinians killed has past fourteen hundred that already exceeds the last major israeli operation a dud cast lead almost six. years ago israel has lost fifty six soldiers three civilians including a tire national also killed by hamas rockets war has left a few untouched sixteen year old farah baker has been tweeting from gaza for the last three weeks posting photos and video of the horror there person sara he has brought her thousands of followers and picked up by the media where she speak with her father a surgeon from a local hospital this is the theater of war the she has witnessed so imagine she feels she is she's been so they. would go to

sleep. so maybe a right to. do something this time with something that. takes some effort another way this is not a war this is a must not a war is something is simple to be doing it was only to speak one forces it is no equality that civilians the children the women the injured that there would be demolished bodies this is something important even. more than the ones that i cannot continue seeing but this is you we are anybody does us to the situation i wish it would not continue one minute more israel says it's trying to limit civilian casualties that but hamas is making this impossible you know neal spoke with the israeli foreign ministry official. we are doing everything we possibly can to limit and to. restrict the civilian casualties in very difficult

circumstances we've accepted and implemented in abided by five i think it is ceasefire proposals all of which we were rejected and and violated by hamas and they have abused the palestinian but it's an obvious charge. if i was really it's attacked by your country international journalists covering the conflict have said they've never seen so many children's deaths so many that is their words neither back in the previous were even in libya or syria or iran how do you react to that well first of all i will say to you that i think that the trade in blood the numbers is a little bit distasteful especially since nobody has the numbers i you know i again it's a cold and horrible reality but to to say that it's anything anywhere approaching what goes on in libya and syria of course you and i both know is is is simply silly we two are talking two hundred thousand people who've been put in syria and. today it's a one and a half thousand here in tragic circumstances about forty percent of whom are armed

terrorists but that leaves too many civilians who have been killed we know of tens and tens and thousands of booby trapped houses by come us waiting for our soldiers which have caused incredible damage inside gaza but i agree with you a lot of the damage is also being caused by fall on the on israel's side and this is precisely the reason why we didn't want to be in this conflict. actions of israel in gaza have been supported by a rally in paris near israeli embassy at the same time hundreds took to the streets to denounce the israeli offensive in gaza power as has also been the scene of numerous pro israel and palestinian rallies since the conflict started. isis says it's ready to help the palestinians according to the islamist militants it's only a matter of time before their fighters join the fight against israel is still to come. but first locals in eastern ukraine the desk region say the army has used

phosphorous bombs against them again and the capital of the nearby lugansk region is facing a humanitarian catastrophe without electricity or water and quickly running out of food dozens of civilians have been killed in the last few days there. but i do but the way. you do only two. hundred two to two is nearly three years old and it was. willing to be. able to use any.

and we stuck to one criterion c. accuracy when they were i mean we do not talk to you they might not want to just hear such shots of we would. be more well do you suppose the follow home where you more said with us they receive even ask. and olivia to restrain with but. not to have walked down the stairs i think you are special i mean if i'm going with the people he was insincere. bomber should i need you. do not think. this it was you know engine control not the. latest round of e.u. sanctions against russia over the crisis in ukraine has come into force russia's

biggest bank among the institutions hit by the new regulations along with finance energy and defense sectors also targeted by the new restrictions artie's peter all reports. the full details of no come out about what the latest round of sanctions entailed what we're looking at is its targets three main sectors of the russian economy now in terms of the banking sector we've seen sanctions slapped on five of russia's biggest banks including the biggest spurted bank which will stop them from being able to sell bonds to european investors with regards to the energy sector what we're going to see is anybody who wants to provide equipment technology towards russia they're going to have to get approval we're looking at things here like the continued exploration for oil in the arctic that could be affected by this and when it comes to defense well there is a ban on imports and exports of arms into russia however that isn't retroactive nor

of these are any deals that have gone on in the past any deals that have been agreed they'll all be fine and be allowed to progress but they that's basically the brass tacks of what of what these latest sanctions until you expert are all those things the european economic interests are clashing with the blocs political agenda . the european union's economy is very fragile at the moment and significant countries within the e.u. notably germany ground of sixty billion pound euros worth of trade with russia. they do not but. they are some sanctions are being in place but of course that the stringent enough to get through to make sure that fully complies with the european union but of course there is the greatest geopolitical issue whether it be russia should be doing what the united states and the in union site should be doing and some trouble european economies people don't want to bear

austerity policies greeks social workers choose to apply to those who came to protest after losing their jobs. and the u.s. national security agency stands for data protection specifically the financial data of its former chief leading to suspicions he could be turning a profit from the agency's trove of state secrets. but first some thirteen thousand filipinos are being evacuated from libya after one of the citizens was brutally beheaded there several e.u. states including france have also pulled their nationals from the country the u.s. evacuated its embassy staff recommending that all americans leave as well many experts say the security chaos in libya is in libya shows it's turning into a failed state. on thursday radical militants declared an islamic emirate in benghazi this after two days of fighting ended with extremists overrunning a special forces base in the capital tripoli weeks of fighting between rival gangs have seen one hundred dead and four hundred wounded seven western states have

already shut their embassies in the country a political activist chimed in tells us why he thinks libya has descended into lawlessness ground was laid for this situation by nato and its allied forces on the ground throughout twenty twenty eleven and former leader of libya moammar gadhafi made it very clear during the twenty eleven that if you want to turn libya into a country with lawlessness and no central governance like somalia off going to stand it cetera the nato and its allies are doing the right thing since october twenty levon when the foreman john maria there is no national government there is no national army or national police force it's plain for all to see that the nato project failed but that's to assume that nato who attended to bring any type of stability to libya they have been made to put you in this mess i'm going to remain putting you in this mess up such as the moonless nights in libya that libyan oil production is not even a third of what it was in the foreseeable future it looks highly unlikely they'll

be any stability let alone democracy in libya meanwhile the u.s. says it's playing its largest ever shipment of hellfire missiles to iraq radicals they are control economically vital oil sites and have declared an islamic caliphate on the vast territory they control in the country's northwest or he's honest us a church that has more. a record sized shipment of hellfire missiles to the iraqi government from the us is in the works the u.s. state department is reported to have approved and the pentagon is in the process of preparing to send over five thousand a.g.m. one fourteen type and our missiles and related parts to iraq the cost of this deal is estimated at a whopping seven hundred million dollars american aerospace giant lockheed martin is the prime contractor for the production and supply of these hellfire missiles this comes as the iraqi government continues the fight against isis the islamist militants al qaeda affiliated group who have been raging in the west and north of the country the iraq military is reported to have used up about three hundred

hellfire missiles this june and a previous delivery of an additional eight hundred missiles had already been approved to be sent over by the end of this month so this latest large planned shipment is in addition to the missiles that had already been sent over by the u.s. according to a pentagon press release on this issue the missile directly supports the government of iraq and serves the interests of the people of iraq and the united states it also says that iraq will use the hellfire missile to help improve iraq's security forces capability to support current ongoing ground operations we now know human rights groups have been critical of the use of missiles since they have reportedly been fired at residential neighborhoods and cities where isis has been present specifically human rights watch has called on the u.s. to not send weapons to iraq until baghdad acts in accordance with international law and says r.t. . and he were activists brian becker thinks the arms dealers are the ones who may benefit the most from the ship. it's five thousand missiles these are important unishe and they could be have

a devastating impact on the battlefield it's good for u.s. arms manufacturers and puts the u.s. back in a position of perhaps a strategic significance and in competition with iran with the central government in iraq will it change the equation on the battlefield we don't know that if we step back and look at what's really happened since two thousand and three the united states because of its military intervention in iraq fractured the country and fractured it along ethno sectarian lines and financed shiite militias that finance sunni militias that financed the kurds the u.s. as a matter of policy for three years has funneled arms and weapons to arm the same so-called islamic extremists in syria and have now fractured sirius the u.s. is trying to get back into iraq to have a decisive impact but it's a divide and rule in strategy that we've see it unfold in both syria and in iraq militant group formally known as isis that declared a caliphate in the northwest of the country says it's only a matter of time before they reach palace stand to float to fight and i quote the

barbaric jews there a group is notorious for atrocities in iraq and syria they have captured key sunni cities in force more than a million iraqis to flee and write a former u.s. army colonel hopes their threats won't become reality. gaza is pretty well surrounded on you know on all sides so that isis fighters themselves would be getting in there i'm not particularly i don't i don't know that that would happen however the pressure that can be put from other areas onto israel their support in lebanon. support in the other parts of syria to open up and another front on israel that is where i think israel would would be very concerned about they do have the capability of moving at military material and people very quickly i would hope there would be louder voices in other elements of our world society that can drown out what isis is saying we all ought to be

outraged about what israel is doing isis is want to foment but they certainly don't help the cause of the palestinians because of what isis has done in syria and in iraq. always more than one line including tips from pope francis on how to be happy the pontiff suggesting you turn off your t.v. although right now i'd advise against that though and stop trying to convert others to your beliefs put on our t. dot com to find out these ten rules. and why are there a deep sea octopus takes motherly devotion to a new level of guarding her eggs for four and a half years a new record for the animal kingdom according to biologist full story on our website. it's a. very very. well. with

a port i had takes a look. the agency that eroded the meaning of privacy and indiscriminately peered into the lives of millions of citizens around the world is suddenly subscribing to protecting personal information but only if that person happens to be the former director of the national security agency keith alexander the n.s.a. work uses to release the financial disclosures of the four star general who according to reports is currently raking in some a one million dollars a month for his cyber security consulting services this has raised ethical questions and concerns that the former spy chief may be selling high level security secrets and classified information for a lucrative paycheck misusing classified information for profit is a federal felony critics say the only thing alexander has to offer potential clients is the state secrets he knows investigative journalist jason leopold is now suing the spy agency for the release of alexander's documents arguing they're being

withheld unlawfully experts say alexander's financial disclosures can only be suppressed by the u.s. president this is just the latest in a string of lawsuits filed against the n.s.a. since former contractor edward snowden revealed the agency's global surveillance programs and while washington is still struggling to regain trust with americans and allies around the world the man who spearheaded the indiscriminate spy programs remains protected and profitable. r.t. new york former cia officer a mcgovern things that selling classified data is the only possible explanation of general alexander supposedly huge profits. anything that general alexander would have anything in the way of innovative techniques or would he work in their lab or would he we come up with new ways to do their job no no no he would sell his previous experiences all have

so aren't they they are ordinary women mostly aged between forty five and sixty who claimed that tax offices the ministry of finance and customs service up until september of last year when the ministerial decree so hundreds of them suspended and later fired. them and went with the job and work without suddenly our lives destroyed we had. to cry over a decision that will meet for us we'll stand up and. fight these women staged protests and occasionally block the entrance of the finance ministry demanding the government stop ruining lives with their austerity measures recently these demonstrations turned violent with some of them ended up in the hospital accusing riot police of beating them up. the cinema said but the police didn't want us there and they started pushing us of rock with the shields the twisted my arm and they took my friend and stuff and the police car even amnesty international accused local cops of abusing their powers and violates in human rights but little has been

done to bring those responsible to justice. this policy is part of the austerity measures agreed upon with our lenders our country can house six hundred seventy thousand public servants this will help our private sector which has been battered so many businesses have shut down and over one million private sector workers were made redundant sooner or later hundreds of thousands will have to depart from the public sector but that will create work for private business. this is where the cleaners are camped out every single day reminding the government that they're not going anywhere and informing the public of what they see as a great injustice the greek supreme court seemed to agree with them at one point ordering the finance minister to rehire them only to have that woman will turn but it's not over yet as these women are prepared to go back to court the september. some experts claim that even if these women manage to get their jobs back they will never enjoy the same salaries or benefits as they did before but at this point the
