effect at least for sure breaks in fighting have been announced since the offensive began but each has been broken with an hour's ride is truce was supposed to last seventy two hours we'll be talking to our polish we're following how events unfold later in the program. now it's the third time major israeli operation in recent years in two thousand and six operation summer rains lasted for five months and resulted in hundreds of deaths two new years later and in a tourist cast led offensive claimed more than a thousand palestinian lives but the current operation protective edge has exceeded them all the number of those killed now stands of more than fourteen hundred people at the same time israel has lost sixty one soldiers and three civilians during almost four weeks of fighting and the conflict has left a few untouched but it's the civilian deaths that have shocked the world the most

sixteen year old is an average palestinian teenager she's already gone through three israeli offensives and she chose twitter to share the nightmares that have become a daily a reality for her far as posting her personal photos videos and live comments of everything she and her family are going through the girl sincerity has brought her thousands of followers her twitter feed went viral and was picked up by the world's media we managed to speak to her father a surgeon at a gaza hospital and here is what he has to say. this is not a war this is a must not a war is something is the perfect between two equal almost equal forces that civilians the children the women that are injured that there would be demolished bodies this is something what if i don't die learn to measure. that amidst this state to continue people with severe injuries with diminished bodies been

totally burned but these people will come with smashed goods or. limbs because of homes that for one day we saw in many many cases with the with the severe injuries but what's most makes you very sad when you see a choice who's lost his mother as a brother is as a brother. but is disabled he can live. with him we have. to leave this is one case she's still. in the department she lost a number of the millions she is but i have a friend over the last three three four has. been totally of his fun. he just will. bring more spend the came.

to diminish his house totally. as promised we're going now cross live to our correspondent policy or his following developments for us in the region bought a shaky start to the tourists there what more can you tell us. well israel has now officially announced that the seventy two hour united nations brokered humanitarian cease fire is over a spokesperson has said that this is to be expected and that is roland never stands by its commitments as expected both sides are blaming the other for having broken this truce that lasted just two hours it was supposed to have lasted as i say three days now what we're hearing from palestinians is that within two hours israel shelled the southern gaza town of raffa the latest figures we're receiving are there more than fifty people have been killed and some two hundred injured we're also receiving reports of heavy exchanges of fire in and around gaza city these

radios for their side however say that it was a rocket fire from gaza that caused them to respond and they say that within two hours there were at least twenty five rockets that were fired at southern israel off of these rockets fell short of their target and in fact landed inside gaza now this is the longest humanitarian truce that was announced it does follow for short term cease fires that were announced and later broken over the past week these cease fires that are orchestrated by the united nations are meant to be an opportunity for much needed emergency supplies to be brought into. tolls there are practically at critical point we have heard from international organizations using words like catastrophe and crisis it was supposed to be an opportunity for people to stockpile on food to bury the date and also for the injured to be moved from one location to another but of course now none of that is going to happen what's unclear at this stage is what impact this will have on talks that were

slated later friday to take place in the egyptian capital and there we have delegations from both israel and hamas who will be holding in direct negotiations in the latest international effort that is being orchestrated and mediated by both washington and cairo for politics very much for bringing us this update closely your reporting there. israel says it is trying to limit civilian casualties but that hamas is making this impossible and that's what paul heard since and from the israeli foreign ministry told us earlier they're doing everything we possibly can to limit and to. restrict the civilian casualties in very difficult circumstances you this is precisely the reason why we did not want to be in this conflict in the first place we said so repeatedly loud and clear we also did through through quietly through diplomatic channels that the quiet would be altered and quiet it's

a terrible terrible tragedy that's that's unfolding you before you shoot each lies dying. to dance to overcome us were deliberately locating themselves in civilian neighborhoods in order to draw fire and they have abused the palestinian people and will be judged very badly by by history for that. the actions of israel in gaza have been supported at a rally in paris near the israeli embassy at the same time hundreds took to the streets of the french capital to denounce the israeli offensive paris has been the scene of numerous pro israeli and palestinian rallies since the conflict began. five civilians have been killed and nine aboard the by shelling in the eastern ukrainian city of guns according to local officials this adds to the dozens of victims in the past few days will guns has been left without electricity and water

for days as quickly or running out of food dozens of civilians have been killed in the past few days. to start your career you can see your kitchen window over here and we do not talk to you would be . on the watch a skill set should we. not know what you need there's a huge visionary community going with the people he wants and says you know it's. bombs should work i knew we were you know you're short on the you know. but i didn't know this one yet which i'm sure we're not such. about a third of the population of the nance car on the wanted and that's the opinion of voiced on a cranium to be challenged by a journalist who claims is expressing the views of local business leaders. in the

course of the pursuit there's a whole series of problems with the major issues that there's a huge number of people who are completely useless economically about four million people even with a net screech in a good book at least a million or a million and a half of them are on one they will never have a job when things settle down they will still be there and there's nothing to be done with the actors that even if you give them something to do they are neither willing not able to do anything that was of a journalist also suggested that killing cannot be avoided as some of those living in the east can be reasoned with none of the evidence of it to them because we don't have to understand the boss will have to understand ukraine's national interests and then the bus must be used as there are so we don't have to put anyone there on the head and say you for the things that us gives you the russian language that puts people in buses are we source the problem is we don't know how to use it i don't have a quick answer to what must be done i will say this how cool it may sound there are certain people there that must be killed unfortunately it's become to be negotiated

. with the locals and some western reason seem to support the kind of rather a cannes are using more and more diverse ways to raise money for the army this mineral water it's labeled sporting a local coat of arms and falling bombs is titled separatist hearers along with other similar merchandise like hearings and badges it's being sold to help fund the operation planned and a month ago it's quickly burning through government funds. ten ukrainian paratroopers have been killed in that enhanced region army officials say they were ambushed by and the government fires armed with mortars and grenade launchers but this the survivors have been moved from the front lines of the army says anti-government forces have also suffered have the losses without specifying the numbers. the latest round of e.u.

sanctions against russia over the crisis in ukraine has come into full force russia's biggest bank is among the institutions hit by the new regulations and along with finance and or g. and a fan sectors are also targeted by the new restrictions are to spare all over reports the full details of now 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 spur 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 to 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 north 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 and tale and russia's ambassador to the e.u. says the new sanctions will fail to harm the country's economy instead he believes that damage from the new measures to moscow would be comparable to europe's experts on the e.u. robert oulds things european economic interests are clashing with the blocs geopolitical janda. the european union's economy is very fragile at the moment and significant countries within the you know to be germany have been around sixty billion pounds euros worth of annual trade with russia. they do not want to have that risk they are some sanctions of being in place but of course they will not be

stringent enough yet to make sure that russia fully complies with the european union forms but of course there's the great if you are physically sure whether indeed russia should be doing what the united states and the european union say should be doing. and a more news after the break here on or to international don't go away. clean more zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of war mongering politicians. capturing people is this see what do you do if the innocent killing them easy we were serve the right to kill any person anywhere any time. they couldn't do that in the city but they can be trained to

let makes these things are heard and our traditions get a new kind of power via their start which sad is very tempting. there's a media lead us so we leave that maybe. the sea pushes sheep to the plate your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is that stupid with the guess that you deserve answers from. politics. to. welcome back you're watching r t international now some thirteen thousand filipinos are being evacuated from libya after all one of the citizens was we had

a there several slave states including france have also pulled their nationals out of the country the us evacuated the tampa see staff recommending that all americans leave too and many experts say the security chaos in libya shows it's turning into a failed state. while there is a radical militants declared an islamic emirate in the city of benghazi this followed two days of fighting that ended with extremist all running a special forces base and the capital tripoli weeks of fighting between rival gangs have seen one hundred people killed and four hundred wounded seven western nations have already shut their embassies in the country but at the allison activists caution don explains why has descended into a lawless ground was laid for the situation by nato and its allied forces on the ground throughout twenty of twenty eleven and former lead off maybe a moment gadhafi made it very clear during the twenty eleven that if you want to

turn libya into a country with bullets in this and no no central governance like somalia or afghanistan etc the nato and its allies are doing the right thing since october twenty levon when the foreman job 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 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 and such is the moonless nights in the libya that libyan oil production is not even thought of what it was in the foreseeable future it looks highly unlikely they'll be any stability let alone democracy in libya. i mean while america says it's planning it's the largest ever shipment of hellfire missiles to iraq radicals their control canonically vital oil sites and have declared an islamic. they control and the northwest of the country are just us here

in explains. a record size 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 militant al-qaeda affiliated group who have been reaching in the west and north of the country the world 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. now let's have a look at what exactly the u.s. is sending to iraq to help foreign missile can be fired from the air or land and is primarily used against armored ground targets it is a guided system so it is relatively easy to use the missile covers four hundred fifty meters in one second and all this comes at a price a single unit cost more than one hundred thousand dollars but there is

a potential downside to the iraqi army a having. such a powerful weapon well the group it's fighting formerly known as isis has declared an islamic caliphate on the territories it controls and they're sweeping advance the jihadists are taking advantage of the weaponry left behind by retreating government forces the militants have already been over the army seizing dozens of u.s. supplied howitzers and they also added four thousand machine guns to their arsenal plus fifteen hundred humvees that the iraqi army abandoned well the jihad is to also have tanks and a long range ballistic missile which they threaten to use against israel it's feared that the hellfire missiles could end up in the hands of the extremists too as i were active as brian backer thinks that arms dealers are the ones who will benefit most if the shipment goes ahead it's five thousand missiles these are important issues 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 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 of finance shiite militias that playing in 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 so-called islamic extremists in syria and have now fractured syria's 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 seen unfold in both syria and in iraq. investigating an eighty year old cold case the u.k. launches a probe to shed light on the death of a former russian intelligence officer that's online for you today. and twitter

reports a hike in government requests for users personal data with the u.s. topping the list more on r.t. dot com. how do you want to national security agency has another lawsuit on its hands this time it's over its refusal to disclose its former directors financial data such secrecy has led to suspicions he could be selling off state secrets as marina burden on our reports. 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. a former cia officer ray mcgovern values that selling classified data is the only possible explanation of general alexander's supposedly huge profits. i think that the general alexander would have anything in the way of innovative techniques or would he work in their lead what would he we come up with new ways to do their job. it would show his previous experience including classified information so that he can read in rich and show free snow in his defense and i'm being sarcastic here generals look like him with a four star generals only make two hundred and twenty thousand dollars in retirement so clearly he needs to supplement his income put in million dollars a month sounds a little excessive. and more global headlines for you now argentina's

president cristina kirchner denies that her country is facing a financial default she stressed they are all still opportunities for dialogue with international debt holders and argentina's dad was due to be paid and the end of july the country already made a payment on one of its bonds but a u.s. judge that's rolling on the case that deposit. at least six people have been killed in iraq in a car bomb attack in the capital baghdad the blast ripped through a busy commercial street the country has the senate into security chaos with a government failing to curb sectarian and tera violence. back to our breaking news story israel resumes its military operation and gaza after a cease fire with hamas fails to take hold the truce was violated by heavy fighting

that broke out just hours into the humanitarian break in fighting gaza officials say that at least thirty people were killed when israeli tanks shelled an area close to gaza's border with israel and egypt medics. put the number of data's highest forty israel blames him os for breaching the truce by reportedly firing rockets and mortars after the cease fire was in fact friday's truce was supposed to last seventy two hours well we are closely watching the situation in the region will bring you more updates in the meantime it's politicking with larry king echoing. sometimes i'm 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 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 just a second 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 at the 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 a certain hyper power who remain nameless in short if you find this story shocking then you really need to get off the couch and see how the world really works but

that's just my opinion. crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. money's huge impact on american politics can democracy survive special interest

campaign spending we're going to take a look at that on this edition of politicking. the politicking on larry king and on today's show a square nominated filmmaker called deal his new documentary is citizen koch it investigates the money behind the tea party traces the impact of unlimited election spending by corporations and billionaires it's a controversial look at private donors version's the voting public and call joins us from new york what was the impetus for citizen cold call. well you know larry i guess after president obama was elected why.
