well you hear. that the spanish. visit. the. united nations condemns the. criminal act ten people died in the incident as israel steps. deploying ground troops along the border. the u.s. secretary of state. mediated peace talks with the palestinian. territory just as european security monitoring the crossing.

international. troops are tightening the noose. strongholds. international we're coming to you live from moscow and the russian capital it's good to have you with us. israel has announced a seven hour ceasefire in most parts of gaza to come into effect later on monday it comes after its forces shelled a un school even as reports were coming in that soldiers were withdrawing to israel the school shelling left at least ten people dead bystanders say that many were queuing for food at the gate at the time of the strike the u.s. state department says it's appalled by the disc race full shelling of the u.n.

secretary general ban ki moon calls the attack a moral outrage and a criminal act are a fair report 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 and 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 bar 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 israeli is demolished the house of this family. so we do see of 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 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 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. having is very severe the magnitude of destruction of the of the human beings those ones are intended to kill mass casualties of people with bodies and face is badly on the ground it feels as if during this war israel is fixed on stopping harasses rockets once and for all regardless of the incredible civilian toll. well it's hard to grasp the amount of destruction in garza but here's a snapshot of how much damage the current operation has done to the city now these are satellite pictures of gaza published by a un research organization they show residential areas before and then after being bombarded by israel in the after pictures you can clearly see how entire blocks have been razed to the ground lieutenant colonel peter lerner from the israeli army

says the i.d.f. is only 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 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 well. you know isn't your response a bit disproportionate prime minister netanyahu says hamas rulers would pay an intolerable prize if they continued 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 or the campaign which is called protective edge is the deadliest israeli offensive in years in two thousand and eight more than fourteen hundred palestinians died in operation cast lead including more than two hundred fifty children now this time around many more lives have been lost it's already more than eighteen hundred unicef say at least three hundred fifty children have died in the

backyard which shows no sign of ending any time soon. meanwhile germany's desk magazine has revealed that israel spied on u.s. secretary 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 regular phone lines intercepted by israel the details now from our middle east correspondent paula slayer. the german weekly spiegel says that the israelis as well as at least one other 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 dropping 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 and it was 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 partner in at the same time the magazine quotes american intelligence officials who say that israel's 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. or the conflict in gaza has numerous demonstrations worldwide in europe they were going against the israeli operation protesters in berlin waved palestinian flags and banners the military and civilian deaths hundreds also gathered in amsterdam to rally behind the palestinians who are under attack while in london thousands marched to voice their anger over the israeli strikes. ten thousand took to the streets of paris in support of the palestinian people francis same weeks of

protests since the start of the conflict and across the atlantic in new york two rallies were held similar tiniest lay on the same streets one pro israel the other party palestine hundreds also gathered outside the white house waving banners and chanting slogans in support of gaza elsewhere things heated up in jordan where locals protested outside the u.s. embassy to show their anger at the israeli offensive. now after the break we'll bring you up to date on ukraine including shell shock in the east as more traumatizing begins of course in the standoff between the army and local militia more not on the week's all the headlines after this short break. but i'll talk to my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for. the pollution you know i will leave the state department a comment on your latter point the monthly's a. secure you have

a car as i'm going to talk you know gonna. take you no more weasel words. when you made a direct question the prepared for a change when you when you should be ready for a. freedom of speech and slid down the freedom to walk. on air and in the financial. stocks only take credit. in life there are and there are. dramas the. stories others live in the. places.

to picture. from around the. globe. there have been a series of incidents at a russian checkpoint on the border with ukraine a russian t.v. crew from the channel says a shell fired from the ukrainian side exploded near them earlier on sunday european security monitors confirm they witnessed a separate attack while another shell reportedly damaged a nearby residential home on the russian side with more lots. of the group of always see observers were at the checkpoint at the time along with border guards and customs services officials and suddenly 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 shell had landed in a village nearby also on russian territory and this isn't the first time that russia that area comes 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 this incident that's what they're warning that if it will be established that these are deliberate attacks of then russian media. using military perhaps as well. in the deeply sensitive area around the crash sites of malaysian flight m.h. seventeen militias report the clashes in the nearby towns of interest ukraine's president had initially ordered a forty kilometer no combat zone around the area where the plane came down but

that's now been reduced to twenty kilometers or this week international teams just about managed to get to the scene of the mh seventeen tragedy but only after having been prevented several times because of the ongoing fighting then on saturday the experts withdrew from a nearby village after they heard artillery fire here have an anti government forces still blame each other for getting in the way of the emirate seventeen recovery and fact finding mission. and these are the latest pictures we're getting from the outskirts of the regional capital done yet one of the main hubs of anti kiev resistance residents are being killed in heavy shelling as ukrainian forces close in on anti-government strongholds and the latest military attack on another eastern city this time the guns reportedly left three civilians dead and at least eight injured several buildings including a school under supermarket also suffered heavy heavy damage. and some disturbing images emerged from the city earlier this week a care home for the elderly was shelled and five residents were killed both sides

are blaming each other for the deaths this is one of many examples of populated areas being attacked president petro poroshenko had previously valid that civilians would not be targeted ukrainian military forces the national guard and other units would 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 so that's the official line but a u.n. report released this week has raised the alarm over the growing number of civilians being killed by shelling in eastern ukraine is not enough is being done to protect them locals are devastated by the ongoing fighting. i mean you got what you said. or he's dug up so you go when you get the morning you knew you would do you cover the clue. this is

a different opinion about. the. world . praised you know what got up what i when you got when you exploded thought. oh you're going to go oh well you know you know that i was such go look. this is. real. this is what it is really for me the interview. but your future. first. meeting as it was the movie you know the truth was. i just. played well tensions have again boiled over in the south korean city of a desk. a group of far right protesters clashed with police near

a nightclub on one of the city's beaches masked men armed with baseball bats tried to break up the concert of a ukrainian singer several people were injured and three activists were reportedly detained just three months ago and forty eight people most of the monte government protesters were killed in a desa for standoff with radical crikey have activists. as the ukrainian crisis on the falls the mainstream media across the atlantic seem to be focusing on just one person the russian president and i think you can take a look at where the american media is 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 journalists thought the same or at least those who are making covers of magazines because some of them hark back to 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 or off on 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 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

a hash tag putin and now 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 putin in washington i'm going to show. now the strongest sanctions against russia since the cold war have been put in place over the ukrainian crisis america's latest measures stop some of russia's banking heavyweights from operating in the united states now on the list is russia second largest bank vitti big which also operates in europe asia and africa as well its subsidiary bank of moscow now russia's agricultural bank which funds the farming sector has also been targeted and the united state building corporation which is the country's largest holding fold under the punitive measures as well but the us senate isn't unanimous in its support for sanctions you

know after the soviet union 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 interacting and being korean part of the world community and a horrible tremendous opportunity i should say was squandered. or brussels is also barred some of russia's banks from trading in european markets put the country's biggest and oldest bank in the firing line the energy 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 export market was worth about fifteen billion dollars now analysts tell us that the measures are a two way street and european businesses should prepare for cuts as well estimates

in germany suggest it could lose six billion euros in exports to russia this year alone as moscow's number one e.u. trading partner berlin has plenty at stake the annual turnover between the two comes to around seventy six billion euro has six thousand german companies operating in russia and that could have a far reaching effect on hundreds of thousands of german jobs dependent on business with russia economist michael morris 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 have a run a business or executives in a big company there are not for the for the sentence i can tell is to you because sanctions never a one way street always a reaction to a sanction and when it comes to this imposed sanctions or the sanctions it will be imposed on russia then of course the germans are the ones who are suffering was

this easy for united states to shop for sanctions 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 first sanctions have for the global economy also on our website r.t. dot com. here world you may think you're seeing double but you know this is a parade in the u.s. that is only for twins go to r.t. dot com for more on this colorful of it. all so that on a whim and a prayer leaders of germany's three largest religions are set to build a joint place of worship now all they need is the money and they're trying to get people to donate the nearly fifty million euros needed to find out more details online on our website r t v dot com. migrant workers in qatar who've been building the luxury offices for the organizers of the twenty twenty two world cup haven't been paid for

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 retire as a counter-insurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stuff. the fact that. the. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy correct albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across a cynical we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built up my job market and on
