1:05 pm
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 when the conflict started it was a lot bigger the defacing it was perhaps a bit simpler for people on the pro israeli side to come out and support that stands and now as the pictures all but a civilian casualties of children show are multiplying and are shown on t.v. screens every single day i think that's becoming a lot harder for the pro israeli community here in the u.k. now that as a result we have seen a surge in anti-semitic attacks in britain and
1:06 pm
a surging in attacks against jewish people so tensions certainly raised polarized opinions which is affecting the streets of the capital so many thousand miles away from where the fire lives to say they want to come on line probably play. so as you see the maybe global protest the growing international outrage of the civilian deaths but some israeli media are still throwing oil on the file we explain more about that in today's breaking the set. of course the rhetoric coming from some fringe elements of the israeli media couldn't be doing more to inflame tensions consider that today the times of israel published this op ed entitled when genocide is permissible in which the actual genocide of gazans is explored as the only way to bring israel peace now the article was pulled down but not before archived versions of merge across the internet so for now we can only hope that calmer heads will prevail and that diplomacy will prevent the further slaughter of

innocent civilians now let's break this up. ukrainian military jets reportedly flying over eastern areas locals say they can hear the sound of explosions in the distance on friday the kinda guy donetsk was bombed likely it was empty because of the summer break but is still leaving mothers panicked over how best to try to protect their children while many residents try to flee dangerous spots are still getting cold in the crossfire. we're. going to. listen to part. the person would include.

1:10 pm
by the european union has certainly angered moscow the u. has lifted a ban on the supply of military equipment and technology to the ukrainian government but russia's foreign ministry says this amounts to double standards because the ban was actually imposed last february prevent the then president using such equipment against anti-government protesters but it now seems ok to use the very same equipment in the ongoing conflict in the east of the country which moscow fears could inflame the situation. is removed by the council of europe on the quiet according to moscow which has gone on to say the e.u. is not applying logic to the situation and is in fact just reacting to being prodded by washington washington meanwhile has announced plans to fund train and equip the ukrainian national guard we should point out that this is not part of the ukrainian regular army it's a subsidiary if you like that was recently set up that includes conscripts and also members of the far right including the right sector which is another concern for
1:11 pm
moscow pentagon hopes to fund something like nineteen million dollars although this is still subject to congressional approval. the west is reporting pressure on russia accusing moscow of supplying self-defense fighters with arms. says it's another example of double standards. it is blatant hypocrisy not only as the russian foreign ministry said because they wanted to ban such supplies to europe code which but are now giving it to this what but because the actually refused to treat this as a conflict in the first place it's simply a rebellion in the loop so-called legitimate ukrainian authorities are involved in the security operation to stablish law and order if they raise more weapons coming the ukrainian government's way more training more where it looks
1:12 pm
pretty green for the self-defense forces this will only embolden late to go all the way in using indiscriminate violence in resolving the issue in beast its own way. and reporting but the facts are there for some journalists get increasingly difficult as well as we've been reporting now an american journalist for artie's ruptly video agency has been forced out of ukraine 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 there was a rather nice 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 had 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 fifteen minutes later three policemen came
1:13 pm
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 real shouldn't make sure 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 foot into a and they had to raise it. first of all they put it on their computer so some. 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 it was blank . and to sit in the first time a journalist is rebooted out of ukraine of late the bit over a dozen cases where t.v. crews have been barred from entering the country or sent away as soon as official saw the russian id papers like this case so is the first to target an american citizen last month british in this group phillips also working for the times rested

1:25 pm
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 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 it lots of incidents in the space 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 that eventually organizers hope as many as six hundred people will be camped out here to get the message to total that the people of

1:27 pm
a bunch of guns and ammo into the hands of people who have the career choices of poppies or starvation yeah that someone might be willing to sell some bullets to get by also we shouldn't forget that every government on earth has people in it working for their old self interests or others interests it is totally naive to think that every person involved in the process of transferring weapons will be loyal to the afghan government which seems to have been put in place by a certain hyper power who remain nameless in short if you find this story shocking then you really need to get off the couch and see how the world really works but tash just my opinion.
