crashes how to put by combat in the area where graphic seeing show how troops tighten the noose on antigovernment strongholds. very good evening this is art international money kevin oh it's eight pm here in moscow this is the weekly our roundup of the big stories of the last seven days and first while making headlines right now there's been a fresh attack on another u.n. school in gaza this time at least ten people have died the victims were queuing for food at the gates at the time u.n. secretary general ban ki moon called it a moral outrage and criminal act the i.d.f. it earlier signaled that it was winding down its operation along the border harry fear reports from the heart of the conflict. i would this is say that the israeli air force struck a motorcycle just outside of

a proprietary boys school in the rougher city we know that at least ten 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 un 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 come is real person for the showing of the school correctly having

said that there needs to be a full investigation to see what happened what specifically are you asking the israelis to not make any u.n. facilities a target because there are civilians that are seeking shelter i'm not going to make a blanket 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 a boss devastation can occur in three weeks of fighting. thousands of homes damaged or destroyed tens of thousands internally displaced and well over three 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 do see the girl her mother two brothers would see rebels this morning this woman is a very severe condition she is presented to us about five days ago with her son and her husband her son and husband died with severe burns and she's still surviving with a very critical condition but doctors and nurses here look as stunned as the civilians who 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 families the killed under the rubble of their house the house. and these people and all the families killed. in one of the

instances i had a child here he was all the time claim kids he lost all his families he lost his 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 off the door of my office and i sat crying here those that survived this war will have to battle physical and psychological scars from years to come. ask her why power is causing these injuries it's not entirely clear the type of injuries we are having is very severe the magnitude of destruction of the of the human beings those ones are intended to kill mass mass mass casualties of people with bodies and faces are bearing badly on the ground it feels as if during this war israel is fixed on stopping her masses rockets once and for all those guarding the stopping the critical service at all. gaza. indeed it's hard to

grasp the the scale of the damage the amount of destruction in gaza were about to show you a snapshot of how much. carnage is because basically the the city there's a before and after pictures satellite pictures of garza published by the un research organization they show residential areas before and after being bombarded by israel and only after pictures you can clearly see how entire blocks have been razed to the ground left turn and colonel peter lerner from the israeli army told us that the idea of some responding to persistent militant rocket attacks. it 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 an onerous school that for eleven times during the day rockets were launched from a specific location so it's a huge challenge it's something we are facing but indeed we are determined. that you know isn't your response a bit disproportionate prime minister netanyahu says hamas rulers would pay an intolerable price if they continue to fire rockets at israel and that 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. the company protective edge is the deadliest israeli offensive we need is more than fourteen hundred palestinians died in operation cast lead back in two thousand and eight this time around many more lives have been lost in thought and so what he passed the seven hundred mark in a barrel that shows no sign of ending anytime soon either. was was. thank god was just. was this. journey to spiegel magazine has revealed that israel spied on u.s. secretary john kerry meantime while he mediated last year's failed peace talks with

palestine some of the diplomatic calls were made not via scramble channels but using regular phone lines intercepted by israel the details about that from middle east correspondent paula slim the german weekly spiegel says that the israelis as well as at least one secret service agency eavesdropped on the phone conversations of the u.s. 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 sumption 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 it was published by 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 a hotel room of the bin 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 at the same. time the magazine quotes american intelligence officials who say that israel's is binoche against the united states has now crossed all lines silkie there are a lot of questions that are being asked and will be honest these are two countries that are supposed to be firm friends in it so he sends a very wrong message to the united states if indeed israel is spying on her close ally. the conflict in gaza sport numerous demonstrations worldwide in europe were mainly against the israeli side of the operation protesters in berlin wait

palestinian flags and banners denouncing the civilian deaths hundreds also gathered at the israeli embassy in portugal's capital this but. london frowsy has much to voice their anger over the israeli strikes and in paris this is the scene coming up more than ten thousand through the capital in support of the palestinian people francis the weeks of protests since the start of the conflict and some demonstrations resulting in clashes. and also across the atlantic in new york two rallies held civil tenuously there on the same streets indeed one pro israel one. pro palestinian where there are also gatherings near the white house to lindsay fronts reports from washington. after yet another failed humanitarian ceasefire in gaza the people here gathered for the free palestine protest in front of the white house aren't just grieving for the tragedy happening overseas they're also feeling

a lot of impatience impatience because their relatives are the ones ducking for cover in gaza and many of them say this is not just a war of weapons and of ideology it's also a war of rhetoric and perception but we're here because there's obviously a devastation that's going on right now in gaza and we're calling for an end to the conflict there freeing up the siege. in the. occupation that is all over the west bank and gaza and to really point out the fact that there is something that is immoral on justice and in equal that is going on here representatives of this community here in washington say that based on what we've seen so far just this summer alone there are two plans for moving forward from here a line is to proceed as before every time bombs drop on gaza organize the protests and laments the government and media bias or instigate an about face change the perception of this

community in the government and in the media the u.s. media's role is clearly to evoke sympathy for israel and downplay if not covered all the palestinian boy as first generation americans and immigrants many of them from palestinians these people here residents of washington many of them know that they are their relatives best representatives for what needs to change in the perceptions of gaza and its residents lindsey fronts reporting for his part israel's prime minister is vowing to push along with a military operation in gaza quote no matter how much time or force it takes i spoke to james petra sees an expert on arab israeli relations he told me that israel enjoys support of some powerful backus destroyed all the work for civil and easily tricity water supply sewage systems making it unlivable because the ultimate goal is exclusively jewish israeli story and want to

drive the entire homeless today and people in the. region the world. is shark but there's no one that's raising a hand to town the israelis you will pay a price for this but not me i was also called for the international community to stand by israel before a come let's take a listen to that quick clip. responsible for more food. decent people who. stood with as little. with as little as it unfolds almost. always who. is in the those who it was because. it was group of us understood james will they stand with israel. the question is who will stand with israel great britain gerrity of people in the world are all call to condemn israel every country in the world i would say the majority condemn since real talent and israel
