activists accuse of making money out of state secrets we're covering it this hour to. our top story than the three day humanitarian cease fire between israel and hamas has collapsed barely two hours after it began israeli launch strikes killed up to thirty palestinians when the first few hours of the agreed truce independent true came under fire she contacted us to describe what she was going through. my job down south access to your community called it as we are right had already started there was a heavy bombardment of trenton fire coming from israel into gaza in the area meanwhile families have been trying to access times to pull out corpses and i've

been watching that for several days the stench is unbearable there are also rotten animals that have been laid just on the roads which could cause a problem in the future in terms of disease the situation here it's become almost bearable meanwhile have such a crisis here fuel crisis which is affecting electricity delivery of water and sewage and that's really the next drama on the horizon people in gaza because the hospitals are going to be running out of electricity in the next four to five days and meanwhile as i said the sewage problem is going to become a humanitarian disaster with disease spreading through these very crowded communities so really not only are the gazan people on the attack at the moment but at the same time they are facing possible disease. troubles in the future going to hospitals to treat their wounds it's. true the protective edge offensive has become israel's bloodiest operation in recent years with more than forty hundred

palestinians killed as well as sixty three israelis not number even exceeds the casualties from the tories cost led operation that took place at the end of two thousand and eight conference in gaza seen people across the globe march in protest against the killing of palestinians by israel when such rallies taking place in london because the fraud. was such a focus. outside you rightly embassy and let me take a look behind me you can see it's not just you must come out to support the palestinian people as you can see and i think different ethnicities in tennessee is really a lot of chinese wanting their free palestine and see israeli slogans being shouted very. still here in central london e.t.c. the previous thing in community here but you know also has a very big jewish population and there have been praised you in stride. at the beginning of the conflicts we had much more of it to base and there were

a lot more pro israeli commentators willing to defend israelis israel start however now that with the more kids we've seen come out from gaza with their shelled children and say many civilian civilian casualties you get the sense that that debases somewhat died down and perhaps people find it more difficult to support the israeli side so certainly a lot of polarized opinions tensions raised very high despite the fact that several thousand miles away from where the violence is taking place. but the current conflict saying social media used to the marks giving a platform for palestinians to report on what's going on near their homes for instance the sixteen year old father of she's a palestinian girl who's already enjoyed three israeli offensive on twitter she's pretty sure the nightmares which have become a daily reality for her these days she's gained thousands of followers and a host of the been picked up by the world's media too we must speak to

a father he's a surgeon of the gaza hospital he told us the horrors he sees the day in day out of the moment. this is not a war this is a must go to war is something is the perfect with equal almost equal forces people . with diminished bodies apart we saw in many many cases we would do with this if you had. but what i love makes you say very well when you see it troy who lost his mother as a brother. as a brother is his body is disabled he can live but. i don't. think the distinctive continue i have a friend over those to be free. in that i lived in his for me he just when. he came.

a week ago even the contributor graham phillips was kidnapped by ukrainian authorities and kicked out of the country after three days of interrogation plus not go to the freelance reporter who'd been following stories for us was wounded in the stomach and money helpful during the trial for ration in ukraine's east. nato has confirmed ukraine has been using short range ballistic missiles against self defense forces in the east this according to a report by the german news channel the same zero story two also ahead on c.n.n. a couple of days ago referring to a source is that in the pentagon now kiev stringently deny using those weapons in the east road to get some military insight on what the real picture is here from former british army officer chose shubert joining us on the line hopefully with the next few minutes on we might try to make a connection with no go but some since we can. comment from on high in russia president putin's called the extension of sanctions over the events in ukraine counterproductive he discussed the situation with president obama in the past both

leaders concluded that the current state of affairs suits neither moscow or washington and you sanctions have kicked in designed to punish russia's financial energy defense sectors european law makers have made it impossible for the companies in its list to seek funding or shop for technologies in europe from now on the sanction financial institutions including russia's biggest banks won't have access to funding from e.u. markets if that loan is more than ninety days when it comes to defense and energy companies on the list they'll no longer get the most bands deal quitman for at least the next three months after that european leaders say they'll decide whether or not to go on with measures. but for now businesses in the west optically happy with the way politicians are trying to solve the ukrainian crisis let's take a look at some comments the c.e.o. of the world's largest kevin company b.s.f. in germany as doubts about deficiency of sanctions generally also comment to from the executive vice president of the u.s. chamber of commerce who said on concern that the measures could have

a boomerang effect a lot of people talking about that we also spoke to the president the association of a tally and businesses in russia who told us that sanctions come at a price for those imposing. the turnover between europe and russia is around five hundred billion dollars it will all be united states and the russian federation he's ten times less. the second. country in terms of the norm of the russian federation and the second investor so we have more than fifty years of friendly relations with russia we cannot destroy and let me say i don't think that they have an impact the first section would be hundreds of billions of dollars on the on the russian federation i think that that the impact could be mainly on the of hunger for me to open doors put billions of dollars of beyond the european union economy that's for sure. this latest set of punitive measures he told russia follow the downing of malaysia flight m.h. seventeen of course a fortnight ago still unclear exactly what caused the plane to crash killing all

two hundred ninety eight on board russia was first to provide some evidence into what may have happened releasing satellite images purporting to show the deployment of ukrainian anti-aircraft batteries around the crash site but then here plane those images were fabricated they released their own photos now in response to that russia's defense ministry says kiev's evidence is fake and his ridiculous crew explains why. actually to put it bluntly they're saying that everything ukraine has presented as evidence is to put it simply is a lie and here is why first of all we're looking at a group of images that show a different time and date why they were presented as evidence by ukraine is completely clear secondly there is a group of images which bear is a date that was falsified and that can be proven by detailed analysis of weather conditions on that particular location on that date finally there is a third cover of images which according to the ministry of defense show that they have been doctored or altered digitally obviously played with by the ukrainian side

on top of that ukrainians have alleged that they have images which supposedly show the movement of russia's military machinery across the border and now minister of defense says that the quality of images does not really allowed to make that statement first of all they do not have a date stamp or it is impossible to say where and when those images were taken because they did not have the geographical coordinates on them none of the images show a road that crosses the border there for interviews unsubstantiated claims that the tracks from a very russian military simply did not hold up to scrutiny on top of that the image quality is really poor and therefore it is impossible to say whether there was tire tracks are indeed from a military vehicle and not for example from something else and of course it is even less awful to say that those vehicles actually do belong to russia there by the ministry of defense says that all evidence that was presented by ukraine simply does not bear up to scrutiny. there were claims and counter-claims let's go back to

that story we're covering couple of minutes ago confirmed that ukraine's been using short range ballistic missiles against self defense forces in the east ukraine is denying it let's get some thoughts from. the office of shoshu bridges. could you tell us more than what you think is going on here this purported use of ballistic missiles that are claimed to have been used and what their capabilities could be if so. well i mean you're very cautiously using the word purported kevin but if it's true that nato has confirmed the story remember the story came out first from c.n.n. at the beginning of the week from pentagon and u.s. intelligence sources it would now appear that nato has bought that up by. commenting to torture vela and probably i said it because you're going to say you knowing about the case. yes indeed but now we've got. foremost back to the u.s. and of course. nato which of course is closely aligned in many ways with the close

backers of ukraine now confirming it but you go into the second part of your question i mean this is a short range ballistic missile it's a battlefield weapon it's a sort of weapon that has the kind of range and a kind of payload that in soviet days would have perhaps been used even as a tactical nuclear weapon carrying a small nuclear weapon some distance behind enemy lines of course it's likely that so in this instance it's going to be a quick swades a large fragmentation warhead this can weigh up to five hundred kilos half a ton of explosive probably would detonate. it would create a lethal zone of around two hundred children fifty meters in diameter i beg your pardon radius around it so very very lethal dangerous weapon while you're talking we're looking at pictures of the damage to some of the apartment blocks in ukraine and you see those pictures as well as the kind of damage that rockets like that would cause. i can actually see the picture this very matter kevin but you're right

i have seen pictures of course but in the past let's not forget the military have been using artillery mortars and indeed airstrikes against rebel held areas including those occupied by civilians and of course as we know killing many civilians it's more likely that if a large device such as this exploded that you would get very substantial damage. perhaps whole streets being destroyed whole areas not down it's equivalent to a very large. delivered bomb when we look at the kind of bombs that israel has been delivering in gaza but using very pinpoint accuracy methods not withstanding the highest civilian casualty rate that we've seen in gaza and then apply that so these weapons with a lesser degree of accuracy you look at the kind of chaos the kind of devastation and carnage that would occur in a built up residential if they're used against targets understood to quick thoughts than is far away anything that the rebels potentially have and could using ballistic missiles would be considered

a war crime. well if ballistic missiles such large warheads with some degree of accuracy very easy to make a mistake in yemen if these devices if they used against areas that are predominately civilian or even against civilian targets that would clearly constitute a war crime and secondly you know there's nothing quite as heavy in the hands as far as is known of the hands of the rebels and indeed of course it's the rebel success in shooting down an aircraft in effect declaring a no fly zone against cross that have been attacking them over the last few weeks that has perhaps prompted the ukraine military to take this rather desperate step to avoid having their fighter planes and attack aircraft shot down as they have been recently charles thanks for the program shoshu bridge from the british army officer we appreciate time. and could have a few minutes to rising fears over america's supplying iraq with powerful weapons we're covering that and a lot more to. crosstalk

rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want.

and the u.s. has plenty of the largest of a shipment of health missiles to iraq which is a lot to desperate fighting with al qaeda linked militants the missiles which are able to inflict huge destruction come with a significant price tag but a hundred thousand dollars the move comes as radicals already snatch large swathes of land in the north west of the country and declared islamic caliphate in the occupied territories they control rich regions now in their well trained troops pose a significant threat to the iraqi army. explains next the dangers of america's exports . 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 and this comes as the iraqi government continues the fight against isis the islamist militants 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 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 the iraq security

forces capability to support current ongoing ground operations were known 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 r.t. . let's take a look at why the refusal of the american initiative to supply such powerful weapons in the past the militants already seizing dozens of u.s. supply house for instance spills out of four throws machine guns to the small plus fifteen hundred humvees not so long ago that the iraqi. so it's a real fear now the missiles could end up in the hands of the extremists to do or to his brother who thinks that arms dealers are the ones will benefit most from the shipment of the day. it's five thousand missiles these are important unishe and 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 of 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 finance shiite militias applying it sunni militias that financed the kurds the us 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 brack should serious the us is trying to get back into iraq to have a decisive impact but it's a divide in ruin strategy that we've seen unfold in both syria and in iraq the beheading of a filipino construction worker the gang rape of a nurse and the philippines now to urgently evacuate thirteen thousand of its citizens from libya governments worldwide to telling people to leave the region which was plunged into chaos after the twenty eleven revolution on thursday

militias declared libya's second largest city was an islamic emirate after they forced the army out of the area and heavy fighting using rockets meantime in the capital tripoli at least one hundred people have been killed in the past couple of weeks that's led some nations to shut their embassies in the country political analysts who can chandan explains what happened to a once thriving state. ground was laid for the situation by nato and its allied forces on the ground throughout twenty twenty eleven and former lead off maybe obama could document 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 stand it cetera the nato and its allies are doing the right thing since october twenty levon when the foreman john 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

stability to libya they haven't made to put you in this mess i'm going to remain putting you in this mess and such as the lawlessness 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. develops talk about online russia's popular bloggers their leader watch their online language a controversial new laws come into effect we've got the pros and cons of that on our website r.t. dot com or explain a bit more also to how far would you go to get your hands on the hard liquor if you like that sort of thing were partly a doctor in the u.k. and ledge in the exchange human body parts for a bottle of whisky. america's national security agency is being sued for refusing to reveal its former directors earnings he reportedly has got a lucrative sideline as a private consultant with millions of dollars but activists claim he's cashing in on state secrets as miniport not found out. the agency that eroded the meaning of

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 some headlines in brief as we go to iraq there are car bombs going off in a busy commercial street in baghdad it's killed six of the injured more than a dozen others are in upsurge in violence from sunni militants seize cities in the north west over seventeen hundred people mostly civilians were killed in the country last month. the world health organization says the deadly ebola virus is spreading now from most of the efforts to contain it the w.h.o. in the west african countries hit by the disease and therefore plotting a one hundred million dollars sponged more than seven hundred people have died so.

of russia crossed. 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 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 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. forget that every government on earth has people in it working for their own 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.
