eight am in moscow good to have you with us our top story this hour israel's announced a seven hour ceasefire in most parts of gaza its plan to come into effect in three hours time on sunday an attack on a school run by the united nations killed ten people witnesses saying that many people were lining for food at the gates at the time the strike. israel says the incident may be linked to an attempt by the army to kill hamas link and gunmen as they drove by the un shelter shelling happening despite reports that the i.d.f. has winded down its campaign after destroying it most of the militants underground tunnels last week twenty people were killed in another bombing of a un school in guys. oh he definitely will never live at least likely.

to get close. to the one that an china not going to actually have to open up the bombing of the gaza shelter spark an international out. calling it a moral outrage in a criminal act as well as a gross violation of humanitarian law he also says the madness of war that's wreaking havoc in gaza must stop even israel's main backer the u.s. says it's appalled by what it calls a disgraceful shelling still israel continues to insist schools are used to store hamas weapons it's hard to grasp the amount of destruction that is happening in gaza but here's a look at how much the current damage much current the damage the current operation has done to the area these are satellite pictures of gaza published by a un research organization showing residential areas before and after a bombardment you can clearly see how entire blocks have been razed to the ground

israeli army is working hard on keeping up its professional image sunday released a video of what it says was a precision strike on a hamas rocket launcher hidden in one of gaza's residential areas are also images of i.d.f. troops moving a motorbike when another said it was a hamas tunnel we spoke to their spokesman lieutenant colonel peter lerner who says the military is only responding to persistent rocket attacks from militants. 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 utilizing exploits in the civilian arena just yesterday i have an indication of

a number of school. eleven times during the day rockets were launched from specific location so it's a huge challenge it's something we are facing but indeed we are determined well we're still going to do you know isn't your response a bit disproportionate prime minister netanyahu says hamas rulers would pay an intolerable price if they continue to. if iraq gets it israel and 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 turkey's prime minister

a well known critic of israel has accused the country of deliberately killing palestinian mothers and children this was during a campaign speech ahead of the presidential vote next sunday prime minister erdogan saying israel is aiming at creating a pure race like hitler once did and also plenty of anti israeli sentiment in jordan where crowds gathered outside the u.s. embassy in amman burning american and israeli flags and accusing washington of supporting israel's army operations in pakistan hundreds protested against the continued shelling of gaza some protesters calling for a jihad against israel. palestinians living in the west bank expressing their solidarity with gaza harry fear sent us this war. billboards and banners across the city read here now we got. this though is remote now palestine's and minister to of capital in these occupied territories palestinians are subject to a very different kind of israeli control than in gaza here permanent israeli forces

and i legal jewish second most every since israel's campaign began to go out right after the devastation in gaza is one point that has filed over into solidarity demonstrations an angry clash or several want so. some shocking what chance would dry fire by israeli people here are in mourning their lives on hold we are living that we're normal life anymore since the start of the war it's very hard and. we do not concerted ourselves like a distant part of palestine living the war we watch the news. we send our prayers we send our thoughts and our deep our hearts is with the west bank palestinians see gaza as horror on their t.v.'s and in newspapers filled with harrowing images of death ruins of those stuck inside gaza what they consider

a defacto ghetto just tens of kilometers away they only as they are fighting come as they are not fight to come as they are fighting the humidity i'm crying in front of screens of the t.v.'s all all the members of my family and my. all. here around us never forgot. to do anything to help because separated by force displacement over seven decades many palestinians here have relatives in gaza who've been. you don't kill him we don't demand. those fifteen relatives in the highly dangerous neighborhood of a son in need in sun dance or the little you come to the board do below is the description of the clearly we have about sixty people. killed. under the rubble

shops and aid distribution centers in the besieged city one of them shelled by forces you can see some of the aftermath here another artillery round struck a kindergarten. many of the residents say they are too scared to leave their homes let alone send children to schools luckily no one was inside of this building when it was hit by rockets reports of civilians being killed coming in almost daily as more urban areas become army targets. another group of journalists was caught up in the fighting even when not on ukrainian territory a crew of russia's visit dodge and allowed to take cover after shell struck their filming position on the russian side of the border here's how one of the journalists described the event should not go on national security for our way from the russian chicken with the ukraine wouldn't it be this explosion. sometime at least a reflection the sky then we had the massive fragments to different directions we

ran to actually listen to the area of. the roof of the trick point. has been a series of incidents at a russian border checkpoint in the same area sunday o.s.c. monitors confirm they witnessed an attack there while another shell reportedly damaged nearby residential home on the russian side r.t.c. or it's going all of that more. a group of always sea observers were at the checkpoint at the time along with border guards and customs services officials and suddenly a show had detonated thankfully no one got injured but the federal security service claims that the shell came from the ukrainian side and there also we don't know other 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 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. what they're warning that if it will be established that these are deliberate attacks of them russian media was. using military perhaps as well. if ukraine a group of far right protesters clashed with police at a nightclub in odessa masked men armed with baseball bats tried to disrupt the concert of ukrainian singer several people wounded three activists detained in may forty eight people mostly mandy government protesters were killed during a bloody standoff with pro kiev radicals. keeping on top of all the updates coming out of ukraine and around the clock on air and online.

the interview. a. good. the u.s. military was built to square off against the soviet union. over western europe and but when you take that conventional military and now try to read task it as a counter-insurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stuff.

quarter past the hour now in the past five years a record number of legal immigrants have been locked up in the u.s. officials driven they say a federal mandate that obliges them to keep thirty four thousand behind bars every day and when officials struggle to meet the quota it's not only violent offenders that end up in the net as artie's merino porton i reports. the country that once opened its doors to immigrants. is becoming better known as the land that jails them the congress for the past several years has set a mandatory requirement on the federal government to maintaining thirty four thousand detention beds for immigration detention purposes it's otherwise known as detention bed quota exclusive to america's immigration and customs enforcement agency. with a minimum of thirty four thousand beds the quota serves as incentive to keep the

jails filled at full occupancy yes is about money. nasri was stuck him served three hundred and thirteen days in an immigrant detention facility unable to post bail or receive a bond hearing. and see. how it affected the guys in there a lot of them are you know i just had expired or something they are not criminals not immigrated to the country legally at thirteen and his wife is a u.s. citizen he was arrested at his home in two thousand and eleven in connection with a four year old guilty plea for drug possession we never had any encounters with immigration. before he and i was a green card was renewed every ten years ago now extend government the u.s. is immigrant and customs enforcement agency has a budget of nearly two billion dollars a budget put it by american taxpayers in two thousand and twelve the agency detain

nearly one hundred seventy eight thousand immigrants many of whom are housed in private corporate or detention centers contracted by the u.s. government to make me sick because just bad quality to. me. tell me the poor high amount of money five hundred or you hundred sixty hundred sixty dollars a night. in a decision you know i can be working to support my family disowned it because there is this common you can make money out of me. and locking up immigrants is hardly the only option available to the u.s. government congress or at least many members who are pushing this agenda don't trust the president to enforce immigration laws and they think that by requiring

these people to be detained that it's going to urge the president actually effectuate their eventual removal from the country there are other methods such as alternatives to detention use of intensive supervision custody checks on the person telephonic monitoring but the cost effective options would necessarily benefit the corporations behind america's detention and deportation machine you realize early on when you start reading if you article that oh there's something current you know group in c.c.a. and they make billions of dollars off of that and then you start beating our ally out parallel with like the lack of medical adequate medical care in the food quality and why they don't even allow contact with it because it's cheaper for them why is it only through glass and those kind of things are making. a reality in which that hold out puts a price tag on the lives of tens of thousands of immigrants bring up or not r.t.
