their soldiers who they claim was captured by hamas the violence in the gaza strip has outraged palestinians living in the west bank but when they took to the streets in protest israeli soldiers threw smoke grenades and opened fire killing two and injuring some ninety others harry fear 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 what injured in various clashes with israeli forces here and some of those clashes live fire was used to palestinian youths were killed by israeli life fire that was shot in the chest just yesterday evening on the scene medical sources also report that a palestinian leader swiss hit directly with israeli life lightly and moderately

calling on the u.k. government to impose sanctions on israel our correspondent ali boycott reports from london. well another day and another protest on the streets of london over the on going situation in gaza if you take a look behind me where outside the israeli embassy here in london and the crowd is full of not just muslims but a lot of brits as well you can see a sea of palestinian flags a lot of anti israeli slogans and a real sense of anger over that growing civilian death toll now the organizers here have been talking about the british government in the way that they sell arms to israel suggesting that they could be complicit in the violence that's taking place i've got one of the organizers here with me. can you tell me. why when i was here let's say far away. i think the globe but i've seen them deal with

boys. every day we can see it. through the genocide is that i.e. machines in gaza is that the encouragement over the movement all over the or what we can see here i can see it is a very who should of bruegel us to you know over and over the world we asking for justice and that is that i.e.d. state is a pillow is a trigger to see what's going on in gaza is a must so tensions sesame raised polarized opinions which is affecting the streets of the capital say many thousand miles away from west defiance to say hey look i'm not dead i'm probably like. it's not just in on the across europe people are taking to the streets to voice their anger i'm israeli operation is underway protesters wave palestinian flags and banners denouncing the

civilian deaths and here are the pictures from lisbon were protesters marched through the city to the israeli embassy they were also demanding and man to. military action that's been underway for on most for weeks now across the atlantic new york also became a scene of demonstrations against the ongoing blogs but on the other side of the street a counter protesters laced with activists supporting israel we operate. 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 our team dot com. ukrainian military jets are reportedly flying over eastern areas locals say the can hear the sound of explosions in the distance and friday a can a garden near the school was bombed luckily it was am because of the summer break

but it's still leaving mothers panicking over how to protect their children while manny arizonans trying to flee danger spots are still getting caught in the crossfire. there. were these are you really going to believe. you listen you person. the person who would do you good. now ukraine's military says it's taken control of two towns outside sc as government forces attempt to fight to regain a self-proclaimed republics maria financial reports from the border between russia and ukraine. 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 ninety government forces fired from c.t.'s and really just the gaza city itself just claim that at least five residents were killed in the last twenty four hours humanitarian situation to see to remains a very tense electricity there has been cut off for several days already there are also problems with the running water and the officials of the self-proclaimed republic all of the gonski along with the truth 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 the cross in itself very often becomes a very dangerous journey here's one local mayor who was among those organizing the recreation at the time of the intensified tain. the whole city was destroyed apartment buildings and private houses alike 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 stopped again we've got no transport fuel water we're trying to bring bread into town on the fire. situation on the ground remains dramatic and so far unfortunately the phrase no any indication that it's could become any better any time soon. now despite the ukrainian conflict claiming more lives and every day care of his getting further support from its western backers the obama administration now plans to train and equip national guard fighters while the e.u. hughes quietly lifting a ban on supplying ukraine with weapons and a farmer joins me now live more. well andrew this doesn't sound like it's going to help the deescalation they all keep talking about does it certainly not it's definitely angered moscow the european union's latest move to seeing the you remove the ban on supplying military technology and equipment to the ukrainian government a moscow he said i quoted fees this could be used for internal repression i.e.

against the separatists and civilians in the east of ukraine moscow has gone on to say the least this is actually contradictory to previous e.u. policy because back in february he decided to impose the ban prevent the then president danny covert using such technology against those involved in the modern uprisings moscow also believes that this ban was removed by the council of europe on the quiet and it's gone as far as to say things that the european union should not be prodded by washington and apply logic in the meantime washington has come out and said that it doesn't tend to try and fund ukraine's national guard we should point out this isn't actually the ukrainian army as such this is a subsidiary that was recently set up involving conscripts and also members of the far right such as the right sector which is also another concern for moscow he still needs congressional approval but if approved he would see something like

nineteen million dollars they used to fund the ukrainian national guard it's clear isn't it at the moment that this is part of an attempt by america and also europe to increase pressure on russia during this ukrainian crisis. for air thanks very much for bringing us the farmer reporting there. now american journalist forty is roughly the new agency has been forced to leave ukraine and she was detained while filming in the west of the country after her ukrainian colleagues tipped off the security services journalist with a camera you know just 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 cards i have nothing to hide and they're my colleagues of history i have i wanted to give them all the information they needed and you know when 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 now this isn't the first instance of a journalist being kicked out of 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 official saw their russian identification papers the latest case however is the first that's an

american citizen last month british journalist graham phillips also working for r t was arrested and thrown out of ukraine. ukraine's president is calling for the country's parliament to be dissolved after lawmakers refused to label the self declared in the pan of the thorn in the east terrorist organizations more now from the rector of studies at the n.c. democracy and cooperation in paris john laughlin thank you so much john for joining us here on our team of national well paid abortion clinic running president called some of the parliamentary factions a fifth column that undermine the government's policies and the carbon is as we know recently were ousted from the parliament. what do you make of this i mean is there some sort of a political wrenching going on there of course there is and you know how ironic because the my down revolution the year of my down revolution as i'm sure you and your viewers remember was predicated on the idea that the president's powers the

powers of the president of ukraine should be drastically reduced in favor of those of the parliament and in the at the very moment when president yannick of each was overthrown on the twenty first of february the very next day the parliament voted itself new powers in terms of going back to the two thousand and four constitution now the new president poroshenko discovers that actually this new constitution doesn't suit him and he needs to purge the parliament he needs to stigmatize people who don't agree with his policies as fifth columnists he needs to ban the communist party as you said in your question and above all he and his cronies the government itself the minute the prime minister and the other ministers they are of course trying to rig the elections by changing the electoral law in advance of the polls so that they get the parliament they want it's obvious that this is worthy of a banana republic this is not what it were the behavior behavior of a european state all right speaking of the parliament dad they want what sort of

parliament are we likely to see i mean is it going to be more abroad and who is it going to be comprised of what's your take it's difficult to say i mean obviously a large and. large part of the answer that question depends on what will happen to the party of the regions it was decapitated in february it hasn't yet found a new leader who is capable of taking things forward part of its electorate doesn't want to belong to ukraine anyway and is engaged in a civil war but that will be the decisive factor how to what extent will the four million a covert party be able to bring it set pull itself together and fight the elections in any meaningful sense obviously the power of the new power will put every single obstacle in. it's way but i think one of the other interesting things about the latest developments and these remarks that you've your reporting about poroshenko. is that of course and by the way i congratulate you on the you know concentrating

on internal ukrainian politics because in the western media the ukrainian issue is presented entirely in terms of the fight against russia but it's very important to emphasize as we saw in last week's fake resignation of yet sinew the prime minister that there are of course divisions not only between east and west between pro and anti russians in ukraine but also between within the pro western faction itself between the. and the fatherland parties and we know from the orange revolution in two thousand and four that that coalition fell apart after a year or so will the same thing happen this time around as well one of the other things we need to watch well you know john interestingly you mentioned that it was a fake resignation by the new country's prime minister but what do you actually make of it i mean was it a p.r. stand there or what was he sort of aiming to get out of all this well i think.

basically a lot of ukrainian politics is explained by money and obviously the war is costing money ukraine is on the brink of default and some of the political parties who. are controlled by oligarchy let's never forget the role of oligarchs is absolutely key in ukrainian politics perhaps started to cut up a bit difficult about paying for this war. in new york. when i say fake resignation it was a classic parliamentary maneuver in sin in the sense that he made the voting of new money for the war and master of confidence and he therefore put his own job on the line and thereby managed to get these dissident parties back on board let's see how long that lasts let's see how long. it takes you know for the century quite a coalition to stay in place it didn't last long in two thousand and four it fell apart after a year in office it may well last for another few months in ukraine but the long

term prospects will have to wait and see what happens well absolutely john we're keeping our eyes on it and with us was john locke and director of studies at the institute of democracy and cooperation paris thanks so much for your views thank you well this day with r.t. as we tell you about america's top level admission finally that it has been torturing suspects in custody. well not talking about language at all but i will only react to situations i have read the reports like the put the no i will leave that to the state department to comment on your latter point to say. to carry out a car is on the job here no sorry i. think you know more weasel words. when you need a direct question be prepared for a change when you know you should be ready for

a. critical speech a little down to freedom to watch. dramas that can't be ignored. stories others to use in the same. places changing the world lights now. so picture of today's leaves. from around the globe. look to. welcome back you're watching 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 vanished as 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 rendition and care 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 we tortured some. we did some things that were contrary to our values. although it was not his administration that was responsible for the program the cia on the 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 law may. just say it's because such an accusation could have political diplomatic legal and even criminal implications. for me. things coming 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 in the off the rising water boarding 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 hell sea sued by putting disturbing images packages similar to those on cigarette packs. online how far would you go to get your hands on hard liquor while a doctor in the u.k. allegedly exchanged human body parts for a bottle of whisky. the

islamic caliphate shown here that was recently declared by jihad as militants on occupied lands in syria and iraq now has its own media censorship program it's harsh new regulations dictate that any reports from the caliphate have to be reviewed by the group's so-called information office while the group already has a media presence on the web including twitter where the post videos and photos promoting their cause even posters urging foreign muslims to join the jihad to become martyrs. who's an expert on middle east affairs believes the media is proving to be an effective tool to promote 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 trying 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 fighters by trying to explain and putting on the best image of what their ideological beliefs and to recruit followers well it's not just a well organized media the self-proclaimed islamic state has rapidly assumed almost all the attributes of a genuine nation while it has its own legal code a strict brand of sharia law and it's a budget that is an estimated two billion dollars some of which is still on some donated by generous sponsors in the gulf and it controls a vast oil field after snatching them from syria and iraq and like most it has an army which is now more than seven thousand strong plus an ever expanding r's.

the persecution of christians by iraq's in the midst militants has seen thousands protest in australia's biggest cities in the rocky community warns that christians could disappear from the region altogether and have been leaning on mass from areas in northern iraq seized by jihad is to threaten to kill christians who refuse to convert to islam and other world news this hour powerful blast has ripped through a car parts factory in eastern china killing sixty eight workers and injuring nearly two hundred more it's thought to have been caused by someone igniting an area filled with flammable dust and no problem for factories with poor ventilation the factories managers have been arrested safety standards are the problem in china's workplaces last year a fire at

a poultry plant killed one hundred nineteen people last year. and to american aid workers infected with a bowl of virus in west africa will be transported back to the u.s. they will become the first case of deadly virus treated in the u.s. the worst a bowl outbreak in history has already killed over seven hundred people in africa and has a ninety percent fatality rate the world health organization says the virus is spreading faster that it can be contained. environmental activists in denmark are trying to disrupt the plans of french giant to tell to drill in for shale gas in the north the protesters say they don't want their country following the global hype over the conversational technique known as fracking you know oliver is at the site. 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 site 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 pressure 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 are very concerned about the environmental progress 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. and coming up on our t.v.
