days now what we're hearing from palestinians is that within two hours israel shelled the southern gaza town of raffa also receiving reports of heavy exchanges of fire in and around gaza city these radios for their side however say that it was 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 the cease fires that are orchestrated by the united nations are meant to be an opportunity for much needed emergency supplies to be brought into the gaza strip hospitals there are practically at critical point we have heard from international organizations using words like catastrophe and crisis it was supposed to be an
7:03 am
opportunity for people to stockpile on food to bury the dead 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 is not clear is what impact this breaking of the cease fire will have on talks that are slated later on friday in the egyptian capital delegations from both israel and hamas will be meeting in and in direct negotiation that is being facilitated by both cairo and washington what he must is saying is that it will not discuss disarming but it will discuss the lifting of this. that israel has had on gaza for the past eighty is. now is the third 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 years later the notorious cast lead offensive claimed more than a thousand palestinian lives but the current operation protective edge has exceeded
7:04 am
that the number of those killed now stands at more than fourteen hundred at the same time israel has the last sixty one soldiers and three civilians during almost four weeks of fighting on the conflict has left few untouched but it's the civilian deaths that have shocked the world the most sixteen year old far baker is an average palestinian teenager and she already gone through israeli three israeli offensive and she shows twitter to share the nightmares that have become a daily reality for her far is posting her personal photos videos of the life of everything she and her family are going through the girl sincerity has brought her thousands of followers her twitter feed it 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's what he has to say. this is not a war this is a must go to war is something is the fifth between two equal almost equal forces that civilians that children. are injured that there would be demolished bodies
7:05 am
this is something horrible i don't know i learned to measure how good amidst the the state to continue people come with severe injuries with diminished but these are part of the thirty b.n. but these people work with. limbs because of homes that for on them we saw in many many cases with the with the severe injuries but what's much makes you say very sad when you see a choice who's lost his mother as a brother is as a brother is his body is disabled he can live. with and we have. to leave this is one case she's lying still. and at the bottom when she lost a number of a million she is but i have a friend over the last three three four. tin
7:06 am
tin of his for me he just went through. the most and the came and rockets were to diminish his house totally now israel says it is trying to limit civilian casualties but a mosque is making this impossible and that's what paul heard johnson from the israeli foreign ministry told us earlier. 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 the diplomatic channels the quiet would be all incidents quiet it's a terrible terrible tragedy that's that's unfolding it before our eyes responsibility for which lies dying at the doorstep of some us who are deliberately locating themselves in civilian neighborhoods in order to draw fire and they have
7:07 am
abused the palestinian people and will be judged very badly by by history for that . now the actions of israel in gaza have been supported at a rally in paris the other israeli embassy at the same time hundreds to the streets of the french capital to denounce the israeli offensive paris has been the scene of numerous pro israeli and pro palestinian rallies since the conflict began. five civilians have been killed and nine wounded by shelling in eastern ukrainian city of lugansk according to local authorities and this adds to the dozens of victims in the past few days has been left without a trace and water for days as quickly running out of food dozens of civilians have been killed in the past few days. they. are. looking.
7:08 am
to live it up but the way. they're. going to do to disney with two hundred years nicole. about a third of the population of donetsk are unwanted and that's the opinion voiced on a t.v. channel by a journalist who claims he's expressing the views of local business leaders to the cost of the pursuit there's a whole series of problems but the major issues that there's a huge number of people who are completely useless economically boasted about four million people even with net screeching of at least a million or a million and a half of them are on wanted on us so 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
7:09 am
willing not able to do anything on the day when it's almost always it's the journalist also suggested that killing cannot be avoided as a cell of those living in the east can be reasoned with. we don't have to understand it on the bus we have to understand ukraine's national interests and then last must be used as a resource we don't have to put anyone there on the head and say yes we're going to let us give you the russian language put people in buses or resource the problem is we don't know how to use it i don't have a quick answer to what must be done with this how cool it may sound there are certain people there that want to be killed unfortunately because if you negotiate . russia's defense ministry has made public its analysis of satellite photos released by security service of claim the images prove moscow fabricated evidence against ukraine in the mh seventeen crash investigation argues renegotiated joins us now with more on this what we do tell us what still is the defense ministry say
7:10 am
exactly well the defense minister before making such statements as were made by these bukhari and security services one must present the facts truthfully and straightforwardly and then the ministry of defense goes on to do seemingly precisely just that they're looking at a number of satellite images and they are saying that. it's a known fact that satellites can be tracked down and information and their location at the certain time and date is known for certain now when we're talking about this particular particular images in question we can say ukrainian satellite actually wasn't even anywhere near the crash site on that specific date so the images that are we're looking at are coming from a u.s. satellite now let's look at those images in detail for example if we take into account such things as the position off the satellite itself and the time off the day of. the given data we're talking about the seventeenth of july. we will be able
7:11 am
to see that the images presented by ukraine actually. show shadow in a way that is impossible to be. located at that specific location eleven am it is actually the image from in after noon therefore the image with the date and the time that was slapped on it by the s.b.u. is actually simply incorrect now another image shows. image presented by russia shows that clouds were actually in the area on that specific date at that specific time in fact if you look at the geo. the. at the weather reports anywhere in the world will be able to see that indeed there were clouds in that location on the seventeenth now for a look at the ukrainian image however i will be able to see that there are no clouds in that location which again shows that the image that was cited as completely truthful by the s.b.u. in fact is a fabrication and finally there is
7:12 am
a third slide that we can possibly look at right now. the way that the s.b.u. has presented it saying that it's an image from russian satellite or the image presented by the russian minister of defense will be able to see that the resolution is incredibly low compared to all other images of the russian ministry of defense is saying that that particular image was actually doctored by the s.b.u. and it is unclear in impossible to say what exactly is going on in that picture now of the ministry of defense also when over allegations that supposedly russia supplies numerous arms and. troops to help the. self-defense forces fighting against forces in the region there again the s.b.u. in this case is also relying on satellite images however minister of defense is saying if you look at those images you will be able to see something you will be able to see it to rain with a path and some vehicles however there is no less there are no coordinates no
7:13 am
launch no latitude it is impossible to say exactly what sorts of vehicles we're talking about and where that image is coming from only essentially basing our guesses on what the s.b.u. is telling us so again the ministry of defense of russia contends that the information that was given by the s.b.u. actually should not be taken at face value. thanks for bringing us all those details are reporting there now the latest round of ease sanctions against russia over the crisis in ukraine has come in full force russia's biggest bank is among the institutions hit by the new regulations along with finance energy and defense sectors are also targeted by the new restrictions in artie's been all over has more 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
7:14 am
in terms of the banking sector we've seen sanctions slapped on five of russia's biggest banks including the biggest spender 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 old 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 norm of these are any deals that have gone on in the past any deals that have been agreed they will all be fine and be allowed to progress but that's basically the brass tacks of what of what these latest sanctions and tale. of russia's ambassador to the e.u. says the new sanctions will harm one crumble the country's economy instead he believes that damage from the new measures will affect europe as much as russia and
7:15 am
he says to limit damage states have left loopholes in the restrictions the ambassador adds moscow would still challenge the sanctions as they don't meet the requirements of the world trade organization. expert on the e.u. robert oulds thinks 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 you notably germany have 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 greater geopolitical issue whether in the
7:16 am
russia should be doing what the united states and the european union say should be doing. and more news coming up after a short break stay with us. fish farms waters today you have the pond to me because. i saw it spread all over norway . in the whole. process drowns out in the tissue inquiry furthermore those restrictions. are really. what's inside the.

city of benghazi this fall two days of fighting that ended with extremist overrunning a special forces base in the capital. tripoli weeks of fighting between rival gangs have seen one hundred people killed and four hundred wounded seven western nations have already shot their amasis in the country political analyst and activists a contender on explains why libya has descended into lawlessness ground was laid for the situation by nato and its allied forces on the ground throughout twenty 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 more listeners and no no central governance like somalia off going to start it set for the nato and its allies are doing the right thing since october twenty levin when the foreman job maria well 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
7:19 am
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 as the moonless nights in the 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 america's has its planning its largest ever shipment of hellfire missiles to iraq radicals they are control canonically vital oil sites and have declared an islamic caliphate on the vast lands they control in the northwest of the country or does a seizure of explains a record size shipment of hellfire missiles to be iraqi government from the us is in the works the us 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
7:20 am
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 islamic militants al qaeda affiliated group who have been raging 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 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 in cities where isis has been present specifically human rights watch has called on the u.s.
7:21 am
to not send weapons to iraq until baghdad acts in accordance with international law and r.t.e. . have a look at what exactly the u.s. is sending to iraq hellfire missile can be fired from the air or land and is primarily used against armor ground targets it is a guided system so it is relatively easy. to use all the missile covers over a four hundred fifty meters a second and all this comes at a price a single unit costs more than one hundred thousand dollars but there is a potential downside to the iraqi army having such a powerful weapon the group it's fighting formally known as isis has declared an islamic caliphate on the territories it controls and in their sweeping advance that hardest are taking advantage of the weaponry left behind the retreating government forces while the militants have already alba neuvirth the army seizing dozens of u.s. supplied howitzers and the old so added four thousand machine guns to their arsenal
7:22 am
plus fifteen hundred humvees that the iraqi army abandoned in the jihad is also have tanks and a long range ballistic scud missile which they threaten to use against israel its feared out a hellfire missiles could end up in the hands of the extremist two and i were activist brian backer thinks that arms dealers are the ones who will benefit most of the shipment 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 us arms manufacturers and puts the us 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 applying it sunni militias that financed the kurds the u.s.
7:23 am
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 had serious the u.s. is trying to get back into iraq to have a decisive impact but it's a divide and rule and strategy that we've seen unfold in both syria and in iraq. the u.s. national security agency has another lawsuit on its hands of this time its 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 for nine hour 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 keep 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
7:24 am
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 journalists 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. what you don't hear national and up next it's breaking the sets don't go away. 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 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
7:26 am
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 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. and.
