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 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 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 a boss 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 of the girl her mother her two brothers with severe burns this morning. this woman is in 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 but 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 families the killed under the rubble of their house the house. when these people and all the families killed. in one of the instances i have a child here he was all the time claim cause 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 battle physical and psychological scars for years to come. ask her 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 the bodies and faces are bearing badly on the ground it feels as if during this war israel is fixed on stopping her master's rockets once and for all regardless of the incredible civilian toll. to. gaza. ironic maybe that he's talking about what it's like on the ground where the hell the destruction but maybe to illustrate it better because it's difficult to get a grasp of what it's really like to take a look at these satellite pictures to get a look at the destruction in gaza the before and after the time time lapse naps have been released by the u.n. showing here well buildings literally razed to the ground they show residential areas before and after being bombarded by israel in the after pictures you can clearly see how entire blocks have been razed to the ground turning colonel peter

lerner from the israeli army told us that the i.d.f. is only responding though 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 unknown or a 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 an attack that any additional isn't your response of a 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 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. attorney colonel pitt learned there from the idea for this current campaign is called protective edge it is the deadliest israeli offensive in years but it's one of the two thousand and eight then more than fourteen hundred palestinians died in operation cast lead as it was called then including two hundred fifty children this time around many more lives have been lost it's already

passed eight hundred unicef says at least three hundred fifty four children have died in the barrows which shows no sign of ending any time soon either. was. i. was. with the. mean time aside to this but kind of connected germany's to speak magazine has revealed that israel spied on u.s. secretary of state john kerry while he mediated last year's failed peace talks in palestine some of the diplomatic calls were made not via scramble channels but using regular phone lines that it seems were intercepted by israel these about that than from

a middle east correspondent paula slee annexed. the german weekly speed girl says that the israelis as well as at least one at this 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 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 is well was the guilty party at the same time the magazine quotes american intelligence officials who say that israel's it's been 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 arsed 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. or back up today the conflict cigars a spot numerous stir ministrations worldwide in europe they were mainly against the israeli operation protesters in berlin wave palestinian flags and banners without civilian earth's ogress also gathered at the israeli embassy. let's go cross to london now where thousands marched to voice their anger. over the israeli strikes

in france paris more than ten thousand rallied to the capital in support of the palestinian people france is seen weeks of protests indeed since the start of the conflict with some demonstrations resulting in clashes across the atlantic in new york two rallies held similar tenuously on the same street one pro israeli the other state in the conflict in gaza spot numerous demonstrations as i say. 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 are 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 the freeing of the siege also the end 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 josh 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 clans 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. well on the israeli side premise and promised and found a push on with the military operation in gaza quote no matter how much time or force it takes in the week i spoke to james petras about that he's an expert on arab israeli relations he told me israel enjoys the support of some powerful backers that you destroyed are the working for civil liberties of electricity water supply sewage systems making it unlivable because the ultimate goal is exclusively jewish israelis stay they want to drive the entire palestinian people out of inhabitable region their world our political opinion is shark but there is no one that's raising

a hand towel and the israelis you will pay a price for this but netanyahu is also called for the international community to stand by israel before i come back to that let's take a listen to that quick clip of a call responsible lose these and people who are. with us a little. bit with as well as it once hamas. who is who. is it that. goes above the loop it has group of us understood james will they stand with israel. the question is who will stand with israel great britain geraghty of people in the world are all to condemn israel and every country in the world i would say the majority condemns israel's brutality and israel continues to because it feels it has impunity that is the united states government continues to supply arms and provide diplomatic protection for the

genocide that is taking place in the european union rings it stands and continues to engage and business as usual with israel. coming up will bring up to date on ukraine in a couple of minutes including shell shock in the a says small traumatized civilians a cold up in the standoff between the army and local militia in the region lesson about twenty minutes time more on that in the weeks of the global headlines off to run the poll of russian finance and business with katie pilbeam. in fish farms waters do you have a bond with me because. i saw you spread all over this the most toxic food you have in the whole world. drowns out in the bushel inquiry furthermore.
