nuclear power via the start which. is very tempting. israel steps up its offensive in gaza killing more than one hundred palestinians overnight while hunting for a soldier it claims was captured by hamas. the civilian death toll mounts as the ukrainian army tightened the noose around the self-proclaimed republics in the east of the country that as a second party affiliated journalist is deported from the country. and coming clean on the hush hush interrogation tactics. which are simple. we did some things that were contrary to our values. barack obama confesses ahead of the report on cia interrogation techniques as analyst anticipate more disturbing revelations.

what you are to the national coming to you live from moscow with me marina josh welcome to the program now some one hundred eighty palestinians have been killed by israeli attacks since the collapse of a cease fire on friday that's as israeli defense forces push deeper into gaza in search of a soldier they claim was captured by hamas meanwhile in the west bank israeli soldiers fired a smoke grenade at a protest rally killing two and injuring some seventy others harry fear is in the west bank for r.t. . given the very heavy toll felt by palestinian civilians in gaza hamas movement across the palestinian territories had called for a day of rage of protests here in the west bank over the period of yesterday across

the west bank ninety palestinians injured in various clashes with israeli forces here and some of those clashes live fire was used to polish its were killed by israeli live fire they were shot in the chest and just yesterday on the scene medical sources also report that a palestinian ambulance was hit directly with israeli fire lightly and moderately injuring six civilians this is all in the context of around three thousand palestinians coming to demonstrate yesterday across the west bank in outrage at israel's ongoing operation in gaza three day un us sponsored cease fire which had much significance to it given the context in gaza many people on the ground believe that this ceasefire could hold we saw within two hours of the cease fire coming into place by directional fire the chronology of who shot who broke the ceasefire first is not clear but for sure that was mortar and rocket fire from gaza and from

the israeli position there are reports of sniper fire palestinian civilians and also severe tank shelling of southern areas of the gaza strip within moments of those developments we saw this israeli soldier apparently kidnapped that's now said by the israeli military that this soldier was captured by palestinian fighters now in the last while we've heard from israeli sources that they're saying. that they're going to heavily increase their operations to find this soldier meanwhile in the hamas military wing the ultrasound brigade to said that they believe that the israeli soldier has already being killed alongside the palestinian fighters that captured him after israel heavily shelled south in gaza. now if the soldier is still alive or even if he's not alive it's almost certain that israel will escalate and expand its operations in the in southern gaza in retaliation and in effect all

of this alleged kidnapping and capture now the protective edge offensive has become israel's bloodiest operation in recent years more than sixteen hundred palestinians killed as well as sixty six israelis killed by hamas rockets now that number exceeds the casualties from the so-called cast lead operation in two thousand and eight. the israeli offensive in gaza has resulted in a large scale protests around the world approach and group project of the territory national flag on the house of parliament in london and cold for the u.k. government to impose sanctions on israel crowds also gathered to protest the killing of civilians in gaza outside the israeli embassy in london our correspondent paul boyko was there for our two. it was such a vocal crowd today outside the israeli embassy and learned if you take a look behind me you can see different ethnicities and pensee of great come out to

support the palestinian cause a lot of chinese wanting fair free palestine and she is waving a slogan is being shouted very loud have you to see the proof augustinian community here but nuns and also has a very big jewish population and there have been procedure and strategies take place in london as well as 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 stones however now that with the more kids we've seen come out from gaza with shelled children and so many civilian civilian casualties you get the sense that it's that debases somewhat died down and perhaps people find it more difficult to support the israeli side say certainly a lot of polarized opinions tensions raised very high despite the fact that where several thousand miles away from where the violence is taking place. now elsewhere

in europe people gathered in berlin to voice their anger at the israeli operation protesters waved palestinian flags and banners denouncing the civilian death and here are the pictures from lisbon where protesters marched through the city to the israeli embassy they were also demanding an end to the military reaction has been underway for almost four. weeks now across the atlantic new york also became a scene of demonstrations against the ongoing bloodshed but on the other side of the street a counter protest to place with activists supporting the israeli operation. and washington has pledged more than two hundred million dollars to bolster israel's iron dome defense system against rockets fired by hamas learn more about that and other updates at r.t. dot com. the ukrainian army is pressing on with its advance on the capitals of to itself or claimed republics in the east of the country towns and villages in the

regions are the scenes of constant shelling and battles are just maria has the latest. well would we can see in this new brain could definitely be described as a very dramatic state to score a challenge in clashes there continued with the death toll including among civilian population also continuing to climb as residential areas often get called to the deadly crossfire when ukrainian army and to government forces fired from cities and villages the gaza city itself has claimed that at least five residents were killed in the last twenty four hours and receive images of a destroyed kindergarten off to it was heated by a shell it is in the city center humanitarian situation the seats remains a very tense electricity there has been cut off for several days already there are also problems with the running walter and the officials of the self-proclaimed republic of lugansk warn that this could lead to a real humanitarian catastrophe and of course in this situation people continue to flee what they call the war zone where no next to the russian ukrainian border

every day tens and sometimes even hundreds of people try to cross and across in itself very often becomes a very dangerous journey because you you know you do you feel as you. do score prefer move a few of the order to move to move to move you believe do this do you do you listen you person. the person who wasn't you goodridge. here's one local mayor who was among those organizing the recreation at the time of the intense fire taint. the whole city is destroyed apartment buildings and private houses along like it's been going on for about eight days there was a pause in the shelling when we managed to take two buses full of refugees out of town then it started again with transport fuel water we're trying to bring bread into town on the. situation on the ground remains dramatic and so far unfortunately

the phrase no any indication that it could become any better any time so. nine rockets coming from ukraine have struck russian territory according to the border guard service no damage or injuries have been reported meanwhile nato confirms ukraine's army has been using short range ballistic missiles against anti-government forces that's according to reports by the german news channel dortch avella and this earlier reports on c.n.n. which refer to sources in the pentagon here however denies the claims charles shoebridge a former british army officer believes the use of central weapons constitutes a war crime it's more likely that if a large device such as this exploded that you would get very substantial damage. how streets being destroyed how would areas not down it's equivalent to a very large. when we look at the kind of problems that israel has been delivering in gaza but using very pinpoint accuracy methods notwithstanding the high civilian

casualty rate that we've seen in gaza and then apply that to these weapons with a lesser degree of accuracy you look at the kind of chaos the kind of devastation and college that would occur in a built up residential area if they used against such targets placed at misawa such large warheads with them that there's some degree of accuracy very easy to make a mistake in any of these devices if they're used against areas that are predominantly civilian or even against civilian targets that would clearly constitute a war crime an american journalist forty's roughly a video agency has been forced to leave ukraine and she was attained while filming in the west of the country after her ukrainian colleagues tipped off security services. journalist with a camera notice that was abruptly sticker on my tripod and straightaway said you know russia today first of all they questioned me themselves about seven of them i gave them all the details that could give them i gave them my press card that had

nothing to hide and they're my colleagues of the city i have i wanted to give them all the information they needed and you know. fifteen minutes later three policemen came and three officials came from national security service in ukraine and they were asking me so many questions taking all my details and then when they didn't they didn't believe that my american passport was rio showed them a picture of it so they followed me to the hotel until they could see the actual passport they asked me that i absolutely had to give my footage away and they have to raise it. first of all they put it on their computers so someone out of the officials has it right now they have all the footage that it took of myself being questioned and also at the protest. and they gave it back to me was blank and this is the first instance of a journalist being kicked out of the ukraine and there have been over

a dozen cases were t.v. crews were barred from entering the country or sent away as soon as officials saw their russian identification papers the last case however is the first that's targeted an american citizen last month british journalist grand philips also working for a team was arrested and thrown out of ukraine. now coming up later in the program as the hottest power in iraq in syria gains ground in times square was in the local media aiming to make the group look slick and more professional details just ahead also we were poor and now the residents of the earthquake prone remaining capital have to wait years for the government to reinforce their houses. i'm happy martin the stories we cover here not been here in iraq other big story

the extra headlines same time there's a reason they don't want and do not. want to raise that we don't think. now let's break the set. the u.s. military was built to square off against the soviet union. over western europe but when you take that conventional military and now try to return ask it as a counterinsurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stuff. dramas that truth be ignored. stories others who refuse to notice. food since changing the world writes no. food picture of today's you know. from around the globe.

look to the. well the back this is r t international president barack obama has admitted the u.s. did torture people after the nine eleven attacks the confession follows a highly anticipated report on the cia's so-called expansive methods of interrogation are just granted she can has the details. the final declassified version of the senate intelligence committee's report on the cia's torture practices has been handed back to congress intelligence committee chairwoman dianne feinstein said the report shows abuse that is chilling and far more systematic and widespread than we thought she said the six hundred page document is said to reveal new and shocking details about the cia's detention and interrogation program in the years following the nine eleven attacks those who reviewed it say it shows that the

use of the techniques was not effective in collecting unique intelligence or forty watts president obama speaking ahead of the public release of the report reminded that when he became president he signed an executive order to stop porcher. who did some things that were contrary to our values. although it was not his administration that was responsible for the program the cia under john brennan did their best to preserve secrecy around the deeds of the previous administration the cia even tempered with the investigation this thursday the cia inspector general concluded that the agency personnel hacked into senate investigators computers and removed documents from their system back in march john brennan vigorously denied that the agency had done that this week he was forced to admit that the cia officers did hack into investigators computers have too many lies and scandals the report is finally being declassified however it stops short of using the word

torture to describe the practices lawmakers say it's because such an accusation could have political diplomatic legal and even criminal implications. for. the upcoming report could tarnish the image of the u.s. government in the eyes of the public. for starters the cia was afraid of this report 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 unfortunately it's going to be kind of a tolerance of the executive branch lying to congress and all of our democratic system will be heard because of this if congress cannot oversee this well we were looking at a really different form of government than what we call ourselves

a democracy and on our website the fat of the land a group of russian m.p.'s are warning people off chomping into the healthy food by putting disturbing images on packages similar to those on cigarette packs and also online how far would you go to get your hands on hard liquor well a doctor in the u.k. legibly exchanged human body parts for a bottle of whiskey. and say fracking activist in denmark are preparing to block a drilling signed by french energy giant total for development those opposing the gas extraction technique are setting up a tent camp and plan to stay as long as necessary to stop the company or to speed all over has this report. when france bombed the exploration for shale gas through fracking in twenty eleven it meant that french company total had to search for new locations in order to base their operations they set up in the u.s. the u.k.

poland algeria and at the sites in northern jutland in denmark this particular site could be up and running by the end of this year or early twenty fifteen now fracking involves the pumping of high pressured water into the ground to create tiny cracks in the rock which allows access to the shale gas however what we have seen though is a group of activists in this area who are raising concerns over the project they say they fear could cause damage to the environment and their health we very concerned about the environmental impact on the ground groundwater because we have seen that lots of incidents in the space of the united states and also in poland and in argentina so why not here this protest camp near to the fracking site is just getting set up right now but eventually organizers hope as many as six hundred people will be camped out here to get the message to total that the people of denmark say no to fracking. well on this map here you can see european

countries that have banned the kind of herbal gas drilling technique and some u.k. citizens are trying to get their country on that list to last week according to west sussex turned down a shale company exploration bit as a fracking activist nathan stride explained why he joined the campaign. the process of fucking right with the u.k. mission we've heard one well frights in lancashire and it was a moratorium for eight say months to stop any fracking and so far the research was carried out so the problem that we have raised from our experience even though you want to water and they filed for something said right here right very upon a good. many people. around the world are sincere. and jenny jones from the green party in the u.k. says there are no economic reasons for fracking the obvious how these fans are benefiting because they're going to make huge profits out of the gas but in fact

it's not going to benefit the economy in any way a choice that you know going to be good for ordinary people who will not see that gas prices come down actual we're not going to european pricing round four for the price of gas so gas prices will not go down and of course we've got the problems of of the fracking process which can be extremely polluting if you look at it from an economical point of view this is not good for britain now let's see why people are so afraid of fracking shale gas exploration extraction rather involves thousands of liters of chemicals some of which are said to cause cancer in the course of drilling some inevitably and in the soil contaminating the local water table up to seventy percent of the chemicals pumped into the ground remain there potentially causing long term environmental damage and so vaporize was time releasing

greenhouse gases and polluting the air. do we speak your language i mean some of the will not advance. news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news that will turn it into angles stories. you hear. and try to spanish find out more visit. as you not as militants known as the islamic state secure control of huge parts of syria and iraq they're also imposing tight media regulations on the occupied territories and the reports from they are now have to be reviewed by the group's so-called information office now this photo of an islamic state fire made the rounds online last month and has already been dubbed the are first hipster the group is believed to have one of the most sophisticated social media strategies and

has a twitter account and regularly post videos online popularizing the movement edmund ghareeb an expert on the middle east affairs believes the media has proved to be an effective tool and promoting the group's beliefs if we take a look at some of the things that they have done and said in terms of the media they have shown some sophistication in dealing with the media clearly try to control the message of the various social media outlets to get their message across some of it. is brutality in fact to send a message of those took tried to show how effective they are. in terms of fighting and part of it they're also using it to recruit part is by trying to explain i'm putting the best image of what their ideological beliefs into to recruit followers . some experts say islamic state is gaining all the attributes of

a real nation it has its own legislation a strict brand of sharia law and its budget is an estimated two billion dollars including cash stolen from iraq's central bank and most so what and generous donations from gulf sponsors it even has natural resources at its disposal after seizing control of several vast oil fields in syria and iraq and like any state it has an army which is now more than seven thousand strong plus an ever expanding arsenal. so let's take a look at some other stories from around the world at least sixty eight people have been killed and dozens injured in a powerful explosion at a factory in the east of china and the accident is being blamed on carelessness when handling flammable materials and police have detained factories management industrial accidents happen quite often in china due to low safety standards fire at a poultry plant one hundred and one thousand people last year. two

american workers have been infected with the ebola virus that's sweeping through west africa they are due to be evacuated to the u.s. for treatment the highly contagious virus has killed more than seven hundred twenty people and over a thousand more have been affected one hundred million dollars campaign is planned to be launched by the world health organization as part of africa to curb the break . the severe gas explosion at a power station in argentina central cord of a province as it left at least one of person dad and seven others injured all the victims mostly with burns appeared to be motorists as the part of the facilities pipeline runs across road the fire is now under control and electricity to the surrounding area has been restored. romania's capital there caressed is said to be one of the most earthquake prone spots in europe but they're suffering tremors

from time to time i wasn't bad enough residents the government seems in no rush to help them protect their homes as it were now reports. illumine piano has been living in this building most of her life first working as a manager and leader getting a flat of her own on one of the top floors even though it's officially been determined that it may collapse she refuses to move anywhere else that. this house is strong nothing happened before it can withstand an earthquake it was designed by a famous well architect when. out of all the e.u. capitals bucharest is the highest risk when earthquakes small tremors occur every year in the twentieth century there were two major quakes as well the one in one nine hundred seventy seven left more than fifteen hundred people dead and injured up to eleven thousand. but all of this is often even more when the residents. the government is ready to give loans to owners to reinforce their buildings but they

refuse is because the people who agreed and moved out were promised that it wouldn't be for long and then in some cases it took up to ten years most people simply do not trust the government now throughout the years only twenty six houses have been reinforced using this program. well around four thousand buildings in bucharest are believed to be in danger in the case of a strong earthquake they're marked with special warning signs but even if they weren't often you don't have to be an expert to figure out their hazard it's not only about the risk to those living inside these buildings many especially the taller ones have been falling apart even without any major earthquakes and often pieces of plaster fall down right on the heads of the pedestrians yes those this is been his since one nine hundred seventy seven built in the one nine hundred twenty s. this building is also in danger of collapsing previous earthquakes left scars all over the structure would due to the low rent this also doesn't scare off neither its

tenants or the owners despite the obvious. if a major earthquake strikes it will go down up believe me. experts say a major tremor shakes bucharest every thirty to forty years which means the next one may not be too far off you go to school r.t.e. look arrest and coming up an arch international or a documentary about horrors of the first world war if you are watching in the u.k. it's kaiser report. lengths exists because the tried to. play pulling out of. your life for. the taking every minute. the lead the luck may the law oh well.

like the claim. was false they say the mole time plays jesus most elite clubs players sometimes for nothing which lead this season and it's a challenge to look just keep still we can still be just getting to the safety of the stage to take the t.v. sets but speech was still. plenty. to play right on the scene playing the first tree limb and i think the church. played.

one on me for the splinter and the line against the lead. the be in the lead on law and the lead. june one thousand and fifteen. this is simon easton crushes more terrifying than i could have imagined after weeks of travelling i finally made it to the eastern front where pitched battles seem an almost daily occurrence for months now the russian army has been pushed back by the german and austrian garion forces but they make them work for every inch the fighting is fierce noise deafening.
