hello there it's friday august first four pm in washington d.c. i'm lindsey france you're watching our team america. a seventy two hour humanitarian ceasefire disintegrated today just hours after the deal was struck the lol and fighting collapsed in an early morning exchange of fire that left at least five israeli soldiers and forty gaza residents dead the israeli military believes one of its soldiers was captured and two others killed in an attack hamas has denied responsibility israel and hamas both blame one another for this on the raveling the deal brokered by u.s. secretary of state john kerry and u.n. secretary general ban ki moon was meant as a chance to find a solution to the crisis as well as a reprieve for civilians to seek medical treatment bury their dead and return to their homes it marks at least the fourth humanitarian ceasefire to have collapsed within hours of its announcement kerry made a call on human hamas to release the captured soldier but hamas has publicly denied

detaining that soldier more than one thousand four hundred fifty palestinians mostly civilians and sixty three israelis mostly military have been killed since the fighting began july eighth after the breakdown of the truce israeli launched strikes killed up to thirty palestinians in the first few hours artie's belled true came under fire she contacted us to describe what happened and the humanitarian crisis unfolding in gaza. if i drive down south access to a community called plaza but as we are rights they had already started there was a heavy bombardment of china and fire coming from israel in gaza in that area meanwhile families had 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 is become almost

bearable meanwhile we have a crisis here if you will crisis which is affecting electricity delivery of water and sewage and that's really the next drama on the horizon here people in gaza because the hospitals are going to be running out of electricity in the next four to five days and meanwhile as you said the sewage problem is going to become a humanitarian disaster with disease spreading through these very overcrowded 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 also. troubles in the future going to hospitals to treat them. that was artie's fell true also our reporter on the ground in gaza has been expelled harry fear has been in the region covering the conflict merely said to be gas last month he was reportedly told to leave gaza after he tweeted a possible location from which rockets from being fired into israel obviously hamas didn't react too kindly to this information and expelled fear. numerous

humanitarian ceasefire deals have been attempted and failed since this crisis started at the beginning of july finding a solution to the conflict between palestine and israel has never been a simple task for diplomats and leaders given the amount of bloodshed and suffering the world has witnessed taking place there this summer and in light of the two sides failing to stem the flow of blood it begs the question is a ceasefire ever going to be possible in the region joining us to talk about this is daniel pipes the president of the mideast forum. so let's start with the latest ceasefire agreement that failed broadly speaking what do you think went wrong here but if the fundamental problem is that israel is interested in as few casualties and grows them as possible then the monster is interested in this movie parachute teams in gaza it's possible it's the reverse of the room we want to preserve your sort of the army or sort of well it is strange or it's the reverse

because when there were cheers and tears when. it goes on it's news for the months . we'll talk about how it was at the table during these discussions of the humanitarian ceasefire is there any chair that should have been polled who do you feel is dragging their feet the most in these negotiations. well there are a lot of would be negotiators. named bigger shooters as you just mentioned before are certain states and kerry and the un certain each are going to move but others particularly in gypsy government and the governments a tricky one to one of them will not have completely purposes and have different sympathies so it gets very complex while these would be going through shooters at the table or running back and forth between the sons or i don't think a ceasefire is going to hold until hamas decides that the they believe it's taking

. them is no longer worth the t.v. the fact that the problems on the ground for them as an organization are so rare it is no longer making sense to israel but it will it's a strange but a natural on a historical kind of decision but i think that's what is on the must mind now i can't predict for you on long that's going to leave but. i think it's going to still be. ok well now on the hamas side now it's without the highly organized military structure of israel and their loss of instructs to infrastructure due to the latest bombings in gaza may have caused problems how does the message of a cease fire get disseminated to the cease fire have failed because the agreement is not adequately ordered from the top. oh no i think a monster is a very her article institution and if the top scientists on each of them so these are not rogue elements you know i once obviously doesn't have an air force and

cannot compete with the israeli military it is far less oh well that's not to say that without its resources most striking them in the tunnels or beyond the tunnels and so we redid it contra government has invested hundreds of millions of muslims in the cyber infrastructure of hamas not just as a philanthropic effort at the mosque but also to test it for their own purposes is this episode set up with them so how i once it's got a lot of infrastructure the hierarchy it's just a little too close but it's also much weaker force the only one in there for it is using casualty or as it's wooden printing it is on or working its own people take a mission it's its own major one weapon it's a very strange situation isn't it ok let's talk about the people brokering these deals now as obama said today there's been quite

a bit of of nit picking on kerry over his negotiating efforts do you think that's fair how much influence does the us having these negotiations i mean if he's pounding fellas making what aides say were hundreds of calls to to get a deal like this brokered do you think the net picking on kerry is fair at this point or do you think you did so well first of all by way of background and say that american influence in the east is security on its yours if you're going to bomb. incurious aired so no longer has the influence that it's produces so you can wear uniform reasons of one's own and speculate sure as the start of the arab. students is that if you know who you are to be true and so you still insist that just because she won't talk to you look won't know libyans and when in iraq iran before and sort of iraq and syria four point zero let alone isn't going to jordan's in there to do all these other bombs in the us for sixty seven minutes and

then as of negotiating one group is not true it's not soon to see the go science uses different if science we are confused and then there is he's not. yet more fundamental meaning there's there's anger on both sides after that misunderstanding with if possibly there both sides are being told the same thing thank you very much for joining me today daniel pipes the president of the mideast forum. seventy international investigators arrived today at the eastern ukraine site where malaysia airlines flight seventeen crashed the site spans two fields between two villages and is now a designated crime scene it's been divided into grids for the systematic searches of victims' remains their belongings and crash evidence which have been lying in the open for two weeks now hours before investigators arrived at least ten ukrainian soldiers were killed when their convoy was ambushed by revelation the town close to the wreckage site thirteen ukrainian soldiers were unaccounted for

after the attack officials said in the bodies of four more people were being examined to determine whether they were soldiers or rebels soldiers however are not the only ones affected by this conflict in eastern ukraine town of residence share in their own words the shock of being caught in the crossfire. probably share your little. more similar thoughts of the sooner. we start to encourage you to yank you should remember every time we do not talk to you would be. when i want to shoot stuff we've. got. meanwhile evidence laying blame for the mh seventeen disaster has erupted out of many countries since the crash on july seventeenth it's become a confusing list of evidence and a rather interesting blame game before an independent investigation into the crash

is completed the u.s. has released evidence it claims shows it detected a missile launch from a rebel controlled region of eastern ukraine at the time of the crash and has pointed to social media as evidence of an essay eleven book weapon system being transported across the border from russia ukraine in the west contend the plane was shot down by the rebels with a russian supply missile russia has stated a ukrainian military aircraft was tailing flight seventeen just before it fell from the sky then ukraine published satellite ever just trying to prove that its own surface to air missiles were not in the crash area in the area of the crash rather when the plane went down now the russian defense ministry is the latest to come out to dispute the ukrainian images calling them quote an exercise in conspiracy theories something all sides have said about the other's evidence in some way or another r.t. correspondent reports on russia's findings. well 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 bears a date that was falsified and that could be proven by detailed analysis of weather conditions on that particular location on that date finally there's a third group of images which according to ministry of defense show that they have been doctored or altered to 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 and therefore interviews unsubstantiated claims that the traps are made by russian military simply didn't offer hold up to scrutiny on

top of that the image quality is really poor and therefore it is impossible to say whether those 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 of it is that was presented by ukraine simply does not bear up to scrutiny that was our to correspondent. and other member of the media connected to r.t. has been ordered out of a country a producer from artie's roughly video agency was detained by ukraine authorities she spoke with our colleagues in moscow a short time after being released. i wouldn't minding my own. you know knowing i was very small. one of the group of a local leader you know that her tiny roughly thinker. folks

are an art you've written on and on through the way. the russians and it went on help out the roughly producer said she's been given three days to leave ukraine just last friday artie's graham phillips was deported from the country after being held for three days by forces. that was the voice of and lena a premium on a producer for our video agency by the way on the phone there america said to see its first cases of ebola hits u.s. soil the center for disease control is preparing to transport two american aid workers stricken with the disease back to the states for treatment i just know a chant has the update and details on this happening. highly contagious a bowl of virus is sweeping west africa and it just seems to be getting worse according to the world health organization there are over thirteen hundred confirmed suspected cases of people and guinea liberia and sierra leone now those numbers are expected to climb along with

a rising death toll to date there are over seven hundred confirmed deaths one american patrick sawyer has died and two other american aid workers are diagnosed with ebola despite some concern here in the u.s. the center for disease control is now planning to bring those two to atlanta for treatment this will be the first time the c.d.c. will treat a bully here in the u.s. dr kent brantley was in liberia's capital city of monrovia working with samaritan's purse which is a christian aid organization treating victims of this violent disease where he fell ill himself despite the utmost preventative caution the other an american woman named nancy right paul was there doing other aid work when she contracted the disease both americans are undergoing experimental treatment there and are in grave condition health officials say they will spare no caution to protect all parties during the transfer to the u.s. they're deploying plastic tent enclosures as you see there on your screen to keep

them isolated on the plane during transport so how did we get here in the case of patrick sawyer he really was within one plane right away from potentially putting other americans at risk mr sawyer was en route back to minnesota after a business trip in west africa at some point he contract it. and felt ill just five days later he took a plane ride to nigeria where he died very shortly after he got off the plane nigeria was meant to be his last meeting location before coming home to his wife and three little girls all under the age of six from mr sawyer he experienced probably one of the most aggressive cases of ebola because the time between can. traction and his death was only five days typically be incubated and period is around eight to ten days before symptoms even begin to show and it usually takes weeks for victims to die now ebola symptoms are often mistaken for the flu which could be why many people go on diagnosed and unwittingly spread this disease the

symptoms are virtually identical to the flu fever chills headache sore throat and later vomiting and diarrhea now when the vomiting and diarrhea kicks in that's when the victim is most contagious basically all of their bodily fluids are infected and any contact with those fluids can cause the contagion even even sweat nobody really knows exactly how or where ebola began except that it was first documented in humans back in one nine hundred seventy six it's believed that it began with fruit bats in africa but that's still not one hundred percent confirmed that within humans a bowl of victims begin to hemorrhage blood in their vomit in their store all in their urine even begin to bleed under the skin but that's not actually what kills you it's when the blood vessels deep in the body begin to leak fluid that causes a severe drop in blood pressure which then causes your heart your kidneys your

liver and other vital organs to begin to fail and that's ultimately what killed now the c.d.c. has issued a level three travel warning which is the highest alert level asking people not to travel to guinea liberia or sierra leone for now there is no cure only caution from washington manila chan r.t. an internal say investigation has revealed that five cia employees two lawyers and three i.t. specialist improperly accessed or caused access to a database that only staff members of the senate intelligence committee are permitted to use the report compiled of the cia's office of the inspector general asserts that agency. personnel improperly intruded into the protected database installed in june two thousand and nine which is meant to help the committee compile a report on the cia's rendition detention and interrogation activities this is what the cia director john brennan said about the allegations back in march as far as

the allegations in the cia. you know so they can be there's nothing before we. well it's prompted calls for him to apologize and even to resign i have asked for an apology and a recognition that this search of computers used by its oversight committee was in appropriate besides the constitutional implication the cia's third may also have violated the fourth amendment the computer fraud and abuse act as well as an executive order triple three i was for joined earlier by a former f.b.i. agent and whistleblower colleen rally first asked her how important this admission is that the say it spied on the senate intelligence committee well it's pretty important if you had heard john brennan deny that any of his staffers had access to senate information and even then accuse the senate of having spied on and here

are the cia so i mean this is quite. quite a revelation and unfortunately it remains to be seen what congress is going to do about it. let's look at the reasons why the cia was so interested in what the senate intel committee was investigating what do you think the cia was so afraid of that they breached the trust of congress. well for starters the cia was afraid of this report it seems like they've done more than foot dragging since the investigation began and they've actually tried authority this report from getting out it's six thousand pages and i think it cost forty million dollars of taxpayers' money to actually investigate they didn't want the american public to know what they had done in terms of the black sites and the authorizing waterboarding etc that's obvious because they destroyed the tapes from before i mean there's been all

kinds of cover ups on this but it might be worse than that there may actually be things that we don't stay there may be orders from that involved john brennan himself there may be other things in this report i mean this is what everyone's waiting for and will see have to wait and see what's in there but obviously the only accountability thus far for having ordered and conducted torture were these very low level people like lynndie england there's only been a couple of those they call them bad apples so anything that connects the higher levels to the conducting of torture and some of the people tortured were actually killed so i think that's there's plenty of reason for john brennan to not want this to see the light of day and how do you feel this will impact the future dealings between the cia and congress and can congress legitimately practice oversight over the cia when they're being spied on by the very agency they're charged with keeping

in line. you know and that is the number one question congress this isn't unfortunately the first time a government official has lied to congress and unfortunately because they've let it go they let it go with clapper when he told them that the united states or that the n.s.a. was not collecting medicaid dad and hundreds of millions of people he said no we're not doing that they've let a lot of line go even john brennan himself has lied before about the drone bombing he said that there had been no collateral are killings when he knew that there were wedding parties and many many innocent people that have been killed in the drone bombing so he's so there is unfortunately it's going to be kind of a tolerance of the executive branch lying to congress and all of our democratic system will will be hurt because of this you've got to have three separate scree separate branches of government that can check and balance in oversee each other if

congress cannot oversee this well we were looking at a really different form of government than what we call ourselves a democracy ok well speaking of check and balance what do you feel is the next step here should congress demand the resignation of assyria director brennan. i think a couple of senators you doll and white in have almost done that but certainly feinstein the head of the intelligence committee who actually gave the speech initially that said this is like a constitutional crisis i think she called it a constitutional crisis she is the one who should now take the ball and demand that john brennan be fired now this is only a mere starting place because it like i said there have been prior instances of wind and there certainly has been a lack of accountability for the commission of torture and other wrongdoing so this would just be i first step but it would be

a good first step to fire john brennan well let's talk about follow up steps i mean as someone who worked in the government in your case the f.b.i. you spoke out to try to change the culture of that place do you feel it's possible to change the cia. you know if you you can do it a systemic way you have to create institutions let's plots look at the good side here and the inspector general for the cia did actually conduct some truth finding here so i mean that's actually a positive step the inspector general himself was not you know coerced to go along with something wrong so that's the type of institution you need you need actual oversight over the cia because if everything they do is mostly in secret and so there has got to be some decent oversight and you've got to allow whistleblowers i should just note that one of the things that the that john brennan and his people were doing was spying on the whistleblower disclosures to the senate intelligence

committee now that's important it means that the whistleblowers need to be protected and there has to be secure methods of whistleblowers being able to contact the congress during the n.s.a. disclosures what we what we've constantly heard is or why didn't get rid snowden go to congress instead of going. to glenn greenwald into the journalists well there's the answer to that question because even in going to congress you have groups like the cia and the n.s.a. spying on the whistleblower disclosures that have to see there has to be ways of whistleblowers getting their information out. with dianne feinstein and other senators now coming forward and voicing their strong displeasure at being spied on do you think now that they're in the crosshairs of the intelligence community we will finally see congress taking reform seriously. this has always been the danger in this massive dragnet spine i've said this many times but if you go back even to

during the vietnam war these cointelpro and minaret in chaos programs of the cia the n.s.a. and the f.b.i. they worst spine not only on dissidents and an antiwar groups in civil rights leaders they were actually spying and frank church himself senators baker and church were targeted by the n.s.a. and people say oh well that was in the past that is not in the past this dragnet spine in collecting of information enables this kind of blackmail if you want to call it that that j. edgar hoover was a master of instead of j. edgar hoover now we have these agencies that are doing the exact same thing they're collecting information and you know everybody has their secrets and there's all kinds of ways of using power and leverage in washington d.c. blackmail should not be one of them i wish you'd get back of course the way to reform this is to only collect were relevant information crimes in terrorism except

not conduct a massive dragnet non-relevant that includes non-relevant info on innocent people because that is allowing this terrible system to occur calling raly former f.b.i. agent and whistleblower thank you very much for joining me thank you. boom bust is coming up next here on r t aaron aig joins us for a quick preview parents hey lindsey thank you know coming up on boom bust jobs numbers came out today u.s. job growth slowed in july and the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose so we'll look into what these numbers mean coming right up and at the end of the week which means it's viewer feedback day here on boom bust and we're putting the viewers into the driver's seat by tackling their questions comments and concerns all sent and throughout the week live on today's show it's all coming up so stay tuned sounds good thanks ira. that does it for now everybody from on the stories we covered go to youtube dot com forward slash our team america or check out our website r.t. dot com forward slash usa you can also follow me on twitter lindsay france stay
