11:02 am
palestinians were injured we believe all of them were civilians at least four children now the united nations has of course condemned this attack but the united nations has made clear that historically and recently it's told us throughout the precise location of this structure and the fact that in this school there are around three thousand palestinian civilians seeking refuge well this is not the first time that a u.n. run school shelter has been attacked in these almost four weeks of deadly conflict in gaza just in the last couple of weeks a handful of other schools have come under direct and indirect fire killing scores of civilians journalists at the u.s. state department question the u.s. state on why it hasn't directly condemned israel for these incidents are not ready to. israel for for the showing of the school correctly having said that there needs to be a full investigation to see what happened here but specifically are you asking the
11:03 am
israelis to not make any u.n. facilities a target is there are civilians that are seeking shelter i'm not going to make a training statement at least what i'm going sometimes it's ok i'm not saying that i'm just not going to make a blanket statement about what our private conversations with the israelis look like well this is obviously in the context of the vast civilian devastation for those in the gaza strip we've been catching up with some of those most severely injured in gaza's burn unit in its main hospital. it's hard to fathom how such vast devastation can occur in three weeks of fighting. thousands of homes damaged or destroyed tens of thousands internally displaced and well over a thousand killed inside gaza's main hospital in its burns unit or. a small fraction of the surviving injured this girl three years old. this raid is demolished the house of this family. so we deceived the girl

her mother two brothers with severe birth. this morning this woman is a very severe condition she is she presented to us about five days ago with her son and her husband her son has been died with severe burns and she's still surviving with a very critical condition the doctors and nurses here look as stunned as the civilians who've survived in heavily bombarded areas it's hard to imagine how the medical staff can cope with these truly horrendous cases a human being if i see whole family is the killed under the rubble of their house the house. and these people and all the families killed. in one on the instances i have a child here he was all the time claimed he lost all his families he lost his
11:05 am
father his mother his brother is a grandfather and all the time he's crying he wants it's further his mother so i closed the door of my office and i sat crying those that survived this war will have to bat the physical and psychological scars for years to come. as for what weaponry is causing these injuries it's not entirely clear. having is very severe the magnitude of destruction of the of the human beings those ones are intended to kill a mass mass mass casualties of people the bodies and faces are very badly on the ground it feels as if during this war israel is fixed on stopping harasses rockets once and for all regardless of being incredible civilian toll. free. gaza. a palestinian delegation was due to hold true stocks on the sunday in cairo

with senior american and egyptian officials but israel says it sees no point in sending any of its negotiators lieutenant colonel peter lerner from maadi israeli army told me that the i.d.f. is only responding to persistent militant rocket attacks and sort of continues to be threatened by indiscriminate rockets that are launched by hamas to israel even as we speak even during the continued days as we've seen in the last three and a half weeks and they have continued to attempt to attack us through tunnels and indeed we had the incident on friday when two two soldiers and then a third were killed in an attack coming out from a tunnel and this is a repeating occurrence hamas which has hundreds and hundreds of militants are utilizing exploiting the civilian arena just yesterday i have an indication of the numerous school that for eleven times during the day rockets were launched from a specific location so it's
11:07 am
a huge challenge it's something we are facing but indeed we are determined. that any enemy isn't your response a bit disproportionate prime minister netanyahu says hamas rulers would pay an intolerable prize if they continue to fire rockets at israel and that all options are on the table and we have this huge civilian death toll among palestinians so what options do you think prime minister was talking about when he said that every single time hamas has had the opportunity to deescalate the situation with a cease fire every time they've escalated it there would have been no more people killed if hamas would have abided by the internationally brokered cease fire on friday but what did they do they chose to escalate they chose to increase aggression they chose to exasperate the situation and this is an unfortunate outcome but we cannot and we will not. be willing to live under this type of threats. now the campaign which is called protective adj is the deadliest israeli offensive in years why more than four hundred palestinians died in operation cast

lead back in two thousand and eight this time around many more lives have been lost and it's already past seven hundred and a barrage that shows no sign of andy andy time soon. was the. same was the song the fault with most of the. german is there's figo our magazine has revealed that israel spied on us are going to re of state john kerry while he mediated last year's failed peace talks with palestine some of the diplomatic calls were made not via scrambled channels but using a regular phone lines intercepted by israel the details from our middle east correspondent policy or. the german weekly did spiegel says that the israelis as
11:09 am
well as at least one secret service agency eavesdropped on the phone conversations of the us secretary of state john kerry it's understood that this was supposed to have happened last year at the height of the negotiations that kerry was mediating between israelis and palestinians to try and see it was some of the very much stored peace talks the magazine goes on to detail that the east topping happened while kerry was in a plane using a regular satellite phone that had no kind of encryption now kerry was using that phone to talk with his colleagues in the middle east as well as with leaders in china and in russia it follows a series of reports earlier this year that with the newsweek magazine and according to that magazine it outlined a number of cases where israel head eavesdropped and spied on the united states in one reported talks about any israeli spy who hid in an aide to act in
11:10 am
a hotel room of the then vice president al gore but it goes on to say that the americans laid to keep this quiet when they found out that israel was the guilty party and at the same time the magazine quotes american intelligence officials who say that israel's knowledge against the united states has now crossed all red lines certainly there are a lot of questions that are being asked and will be asked these are two countries that are supposed to be firm friends and it's a very wrong message to the united states if indeed israel is spying on her close ally. while the conflict in gaza has sparked numerous demonstrations worldwide in europe they were mainly against the israeli operation protestors in berlin a waved a palestinian flags and banners denouncing the civilian deaths and hundreds also gathered at the israeli embassy in the portugal's capital is been while airline that is thousands marched to voice their anger over the israeli strike. in paris

officials learned they were from russia and that last month u.k. reporter graham phillips who was working in eastern ukraine for r.t. was arrested and then booted out of the country. as iranian crisis unfolds the mainstream media across the atlantic seem to be focusing on just one person the russian president that if you can take a look at where the american media is real interests lie. president obama said he does not believe this growing tension with russia could be the beginning of the new cold war no. no new cold war one could only wish during this thought the same or at least those who are making covers of magazines because some of them hark back to the cold war as if they were made back in the day no matter how complicated an issue you can be almost certain that the media are going to boil it down to personalities well with ukraine it's one personality the russian

a mess in its support for sanctions you know after the soviet union fell there was a tremendous potential to making russia our friend a tremendous potential they withdraw their troops from eastern europe. the russians . were open to all kinds of interacting and being becoming part of the world community and. a horrible tremendous opportunity i should say was squandered. now brussels has also barred some of russia's banks from trading in european markets it puts the country's biggest and oldest bank in the firing line now the sector is also targeted western know how and equipment for offshore fuel exploration is under embargoed for russian companies and arms sales are also restricted in two thousand and thirteen russia's global weapons experts market was worth about fifteen billion dollars analysts tell us that the measures are

a two way street and european a business is should prepare for cuts as well as to maintain in germany suggests it could lose six billion euros in exports to russia this year alone as moscow's number one trading partner berlin has plenty at stake the adieux turnover between the two coms to some seventy six billion euros six thousand german companies operate in russia and that could have a far reaching effect on hundreds of thousands of german jobs dependent on business with russia economist michael ross believes that europeans will have to pay the price for this political gamble when you talk to the people on the street when you talk to people who haven't run a business. executives in a big company. for the whole dissensions i can tell this to you because sanctions never a one way street and you have always been to
11:25 am
a sanction and when it comes to this imposed sanctions all dissension that will be imposed on russia then of course the germans are the ones who will suffer the most it's easy for united states to shop for sanctions but the ones who are suffering all the germans all those countries who are close to russia because they naturally have the biggest business implications. and then our website we've got more analysis and perspective on what the repercussions the fresh sanctions have for the global economy that's on our team dot com. some other stories from around the world and to the intense earthquake now which has hit cells of west china and it is known to have killed at least one hundred seventy five people many more have been hurt and scores are missing the quake registered six point one on the richter scale and has destroyed entire streets and houses the state news agency says it's the strongest to have hit you know province in forty nights you are. in

11:27 am
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 other 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 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 that's just my opinion.
