when they come down in the final month they. sang i and the rest. will be everything. tonight the united nations chief condemns the latest attack on a un school in gaza or at least ten have died as a criminal act as israel steps up its air attacks while redeploying ground troops along the border. german newspaper claims israel has been bugging the u.s. secretary of state for mediated peace talks with the palestinians. russian checkpoints come under fire from the ukrainian side just as european security observers were monitoring the crossing the same attack also reportedly hit a family home. the national probe into the malays in plane crash is hampered by

more combat in the area where graphic scenes show how troops tightening the noose on antigovernment. a very good evening for me kevin o'leary of moscow it's eleven pm here now this is our international with the weekly a roundup of the big stories of the last seven days and one headlining right now to start high level widespread condemnation this sunday night over another israeli strike on a un school in gaza at least ten people died there they were queuing for food at the gates at the time the u.s. state department said it was appalled by the disgraceful shelling as they put it while the un secretary-general ban ki moon called the attack a moral outrage and a criminal act the i.d.f. an earlier signaled it was winding down its operation along the border harry fear

reports next from the heart of the conflict. i would this is say that the israeli air force struck a motorcycle just outside of a proprietary boy's 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 we've been catching up with some of those most severely injured in gases 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 are a small fraction of the surviving injured this girl three years old. this israel is demolished their house of this family. so we do see the girl her mother her two brothers with severe burns. 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 and husband 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 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 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 the door of my office and i sat crying here those that survived this war will have to bear the physical and psychological scars for years to come. as for what weaponry 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 and mass mass mass casualties of people bodies and faces are bearing very badly on the ground it feels as if during this war israel is fixed on stopping her masters rockets once and for all regardless of the incredible civilian told. r.t. gaza. every day you hear of more death more destruction as we saw in the report there it's hard to grasp in fact the amount of destruction there is a gaza but this may help just a small snapshot of what's going on the what we're about to show you is. a little bit of the current damage that's been done the garza it's satellite footage has been released from the u.n. it shows before our first time that footage here they show residential areas before being bombarded by israel and afterwards you can see the after pictures clearly show blocks entirely razed to the ground nothing left. but of an idea because the

say it's so much take it about what it's like on the ground there if it not they get self now we spoke to turn colonel peter learnings from the i.d.f. he told us why the i.d.f. is doing what it's doing he says it's only responding to the persistent militant rocket attacks that 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 long. three and a half weeks 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 while

still. 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 then options are on the table then 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 left and colonel peter lerner there from the i.d.f. of this campaign did so under way right now is called protective edge which is the deadliest israeli offensive in years it's one o'clock but the two thousand and

eight then more than fourteen hundred palestinians died in the operation then called cast lead including more than two hundred fifty children must be added to this time around many more lives have been lost it's already way past the eight hundred mark unicef says at least three hundred fifty four children died in this latest barras which still shows no signs of ending anytime soon either. was was. was. was was. was was. was. the. meantime something else that came out of the week tied in with this still nice to speak of my exit has revealed that israel spied on u.s. secrets take john kerry while it mediated last year's failed peace talks with palestine

some of the diplomatic calls apparently were made not via scramble channels but using regular phone lines that were it was to be believed intercepted by israel the details from middle east correspondent paula slip. the german weekly spiegel says that the israelis as well as at least one at this 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 a resumption 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 with 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 then vice president al gore but it goes on to say that the americans later kept 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 is pure 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 it was current conflict in gaza sport numerous demonstrations worldwide in europe though mainly against the israeli operation protesters in berlin palestinian

flags and banners denouncing the civilian deaths hundreds also gathered at the israeli embassy in schools capital lives. so there's that across to london again another march thousands marching in for. voice the rangar over the israeli strikes in france paris more than ten thousand rallied through the capital in support of the palestinian people fronts to see weeks of protests since the start of the conflict some demonstrations resulting in clashes and across the atlantic in new york two rallies held there at one point civil taney sleep on the same street one pro israel the other pro palestinian. and we'll bring you up to date on ukraine in a couple of minutes here now to including shell shock in the east as more formal ties civilians are cooled up in the standoff between the army and local militia.

choose your language. with no if you. will from my. place of the city choose to use the consensus to. choose the opinions that immigrate to. choose the stories that impact your life choose access to. 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 retest it as a counterinsurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stuff.

the series of incidents a russian checkpoint on the border with ukraine a russian t.v. crew from the channel says a shell fired from the created site exploded near them early as sunday european security monitors confirmed they witnessed a separate attack there while another shell reportedly damaged a nearby residential home in the week on the russian side with more on that. group of always see observers were at the checkpoint at the time along with border guards and customs services officials and certainly a shell had detonated thankfully no one got injured but the federal security service claims that the shell came from the ukrainian side and there are also reports that another show had landed in

a village nearby also on russian territory and this isn't the first time that russia that area covered under fire as the fighting in eastern ukraine continues and this definitely only aggravates the situation since one person is already being killed by in a similar incidents another shell came from also the ukrainian side and we have heard statements from several senior russian officials including before and minister who say that so far moscow on these incidents that's what they're warning that if it will be established that these are deliberate attacks and then russian media was. using military perhaps as well. the group is going off in the deeply sensitive area around the crash site of malaysian flight m h seventeen militias report further clashes in the nearby towns of tatas ukraine's president had initially ordered you may recall that forty kilometer no combat zone around the area where the plane came down that's now been reduced to twenty

kilometers in radius this week international teams just about managed to get to the scene of the seventeen tragedy but only after having with pink prevented several times before because of the ongoing fighting then on saturday the expert said it with draw from a nearby village after they heard artillery fire kevin anti government forces are still blaming each other for getting in the way of the ongoing and made seventeen recovery in fact finding mission on the ground. and these are the latest pictures we're getting from the outskirts of the regional capital the next the main harbor of resistance as you can see residential areas are getting caught up in the violence as ukrainian forces close in on anti-government strongholds we've also been getting reports from of ganske to another targeted military operation that three civilians have been killed there in the past twenty four hours. and disturbing images emerging from that city this past week to a care home for the elderly was shelled there five residents died both sides again

blaming each other for the deaths this is only one of many examples of populated areas being attacked president petro poroshenko has vowed that civilians would not be targeted. ukrainian military forces the national guard and other units will never allow themselves to do harm to civilians ukrainian soldiers will risk their own lives but won't threaten women children and elderly men this is the eternal chivalrous nature of the ukrainian army. well that's the official line but a un report released this week has raised the alarm over the growing number of civilians being killed by shelling in eastern ukraine he says not enough spin done to protect the locals devastated by the ongoing fighting any government you said. or the cells of the government. you look to you cover.

this is up to. the. world. series praised you know what i want you know what extraordinary thought. to leave here going oh you don't believe is us thought. you know you know that i will go up. this is all. over the. us. this is a bit of a little to do. with. the school board meeting was it was a little you wrote to you the truth was literally just a rush. job done of reporting the facts back is get increasingly difficult for some journalists to an american working for artie's rockley video agency western ukraine

was kicked out of the country in the week leading a premium was filming a rally of local activists when security forces detained and questioned her for several hours we both russian and american citizenship she says she was forced to think because of a russian passport here's the leader described the incident to me journalist where the camera noticed 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 there my colleagues they're of history i have i wanted to give them all the information they needed and. fifteen minutes later three policemen came and three officials came from the 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 by american passport was real i 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 footage away and they had 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 it was blank. well lin is not alone many russian crews have been deported and banned from ukraine but this is the first time whoever it u.s. citizens being kicked out of previous cases journalists were expelled as soon as officials learned they were from russia and last month u.k. reporter greg phillips who was working in eastern ukraine for r.t. at the time was arrested and booted out of the country to. talk of media in ukraine as the ukrainian crisis unfolds the mainstream media across the atlantic seem to be focusing on just one person these days the russian president can the takes a look at where the american media's real interests lie. president

obama said he does not believe this growing tension with russia could be the beginning of a 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 president what does he do when he's working all for an outdoor adventure and why don't we see him smiling very much he's not really driven by. we're distracted by alcohol he's very tough he's a very arrogant. person to deal with. and what kind of

diplomacy can you expect moving forward when diplomats use this kind of language this is the you came back to the united states speaking give me three adjectives you'd use to describe a lot of your proof. i'm not a poet but. i think. dishonest afraid comes to mind because we've had all these lies. but i think it's a reckless to makes one wonder if they really want to solve the problem or if they're good with the current state of affairs the media focus on the russian president has had its effect on twitter where users came up with the hash tag putin and know many use it to comment on pretty much anything it didn't rain in my country today i blame poison for it or a mosquito just bit me blame putin and then to the report that former georgian president saakashvili doesn't want to go back to his country to stand trial and says he blames putin this use of goes if you are in trouble just playing. it

washington i'm going to show our team. western nations finger pointing at russia of ukraine saw them further tighten the screws this week with the toughest sanctions since the cold war imposed america's latest measures stop some of rush's banking heavyweights them from operating in the united states v t v bank on the list russia's second largest bank it also operates in europe asia and africa as well as its subsidiary bank of moscow and russia's cultural bank to which funds the farming sector is on the list plus the united shipbuilding corporation which is the country's largest holding that falls under the punitive measures but the u.s. senate it seems isn't unanimous in its support for sanctions let's listen to some dissenting voices. you know after it. fell there was a tremendous potential to making russia our friend of tremendous potential they withdraw their troops from eastern europe. the russians. were open to all kinds of interactive human being korean part of the world community. bora-bora

tremendous opportunity i should say was squandered. and sanctions also from brussels as well as bad some of russia's banks and trading in european markets it puts the country's biggest and oldest bank in the firing line spot a bank the energy sectors also targeted western know and equipment for offshore fuel exploration is under a bargain for russian companies arms sales are also restricted it's worth pointing out if in two thousand and thirteen rushes the global weapons exports market was where the heck of a lot more than fifteen billion dollars there's a lot at stake here we'll talk about the jobs at stake in a minute but analysts tell us that the measures are a two way street the european businesses should prepare for cuts as well no because of this estimates in germany suggest it could lose six billion euros in exports to russia this year's alone as moscow's number one trading partner berlin's got plenty at stake the annual turnover between the two comes to some seventy six billion

euros six thousand german companies operate in russia you can imagine the number of jobs at stake here that could have a far reaching effect on hundreds of thousands of german jobs dependent on business ties with russia economist michael ross believes 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 or executives in a big company they're not for this for this sentence i can tell this to you because sanctions never a one way street and you have always a reaction to a sanction when it comes to this imposed sanctions or the sanctions and will be imposed on russia then of course the germans are the ones who are suffering most it's easy for united states to shop for thing but the ones who are suffering are the germans or those countries who are close through russia because they naturally have the biggest business implications. now on our website we've got more analysis

and perspective on what repercussions the fresh sanctions have for the global economy you'll find all that and so much more as well as you know you checked it out so r.t. dot com. so for today's world news now first to that intense earthquake southwest china all four it's now known to all but at least three hundred sixty seven new people and injured nearly two thousand others that figure is going up throw the night the six point one magnitude quake it cracked open and toppled buildings forcing people to rush into the streets for safety some survivors describe seeing nothing but ruins of buildings reduced to rubble the state news agency says it's the strongest of hit the human problems in fourteen years so much bad news right now i was in washington d.c. hundreds of protesters called on barack obama to keep up the pressure and stop the mass deportation of illegal immigrant presents from the smooth a path to citizenship for thousands of mexicans in america illegally but it arrived

in the u.s. as children but republicans want to force through legislation to send the undocumented immigrants back without a hearing the database is cruel. people press of all our stories twenty four seventh's r.t. dot com if you get a moment about with more in about thirty three minutes time live from moscow but after the break here at international this country's begin the global remembrance of the start of the first world war we show you a little bit of what life must have been like during one of the key battles for russia. sometimes i am baffled by the closed little world that a lot of people in the mainstream media must live in they seem shocked and up. hold

at the fact that around forty percent of the weapons supplied to afghanistan have gone 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 set 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.

i i i. i i i. i. g nine hundred fifteen. this is simon's need some crushes more terrifying than i could have imagined. weeks travelling i finally made it to the eastern front where pitched battles seem an almost daily occurrence some months now the russian army has been pushed backwards by the german and austrian garion forces but they make them work for every inch the find sees fit.
