nuclear power via the start which. is very tempting. mass desertion for ukraine's army has over a four hundred soldiers crossed into russia asking for shelter and the largest but not the first such case of though promises a rapid victory over the militias also. not be the only do that now. broken truce palestinians say israel has violated its own ceasefire by attacking a refugee camp in gaza and killing a child there just twenty minutes after announcing the latest humanitarian window. and jihad islamic state fighters consolidated their hold over iraq by capturing another oil field

a dam and three more towns. not international coming to live from moscow with marina joshua welcome to the program and over four hundred ukrainian troops have crossed the russian border appealing for sanctuary and the largest number of ukrainian military personnel to lay down arms and cross into russia but it's not the first time well we have marina costs of our correspondent here in the studio who can shed us some more light on the situation room that this is a large scale defection here we're looking at what do we know about these recruiting soldiers who have come to russia well some of the soldiers soldiers have actually sustained injuries and they were rushed to hospital after the cross the border others were something frustrated over the lack of supplies and food now after receiving treatment in some cases food part of the soldiers decided to return

back to ukraine but this of course not the first time we hear about mass crossings of the border in july of forty troops actually sought refuge in russia and then this sunday in fact twelve. and ukrainian officers are actually saying that they don't want to be seen as traitors but they don't feel comfortable with the situation and they're saying that they want to save their subordinates because their lives in some cases and the risk and in trouble for more on what these soldiers are saying of the current status of the ukrainian army here is one of the courts the only thing that they're going to serve their country but with complaints of having to fire on their own people diminishing supplies and poor living conditions in the ukrainian army seems to be hitting rock bottom. is the. business need of. these are really three three. or four says there. are people out there.

and it's not just poor equipment frustrating the troops as many are forced to live on supplies sun from home we had to cut most of the bread from these eight loves they only have a small edible part in the middle but there are a lot of people here. second all that into account it's hardly surprising that women in ukraine are begging their loved ones to stay put. mothers and wives of those who are going to be sent to the war zone held protests rallies and strikes across the country in an effort to block the ongoing recruitment drive and it's not only out of fear for their lives they say they've paid the salaries but we didn't get any money and my husband didn't get it and they keep promising it will happen to more my two year old daughter woke up this morning and said that she is hungry what i am supposed to tell her the ukrainian army

should have money to feed and equip their soldiers they get extra cash from online fund raising campaigns a special military tax salaries cuts and from sales over so-called separatists here's mineral water but it appears the proceeds don't always reach the soldiers as of august the first will have nothing to pay the military. confrontations are not being reports of the loyalists western regions as well despite their earlier support for the crackdown in the east. this is what happens when local government official when he tried to encourage men to join the army. local suggests that he should go to the front line can sell. during the cost of our team despite the desertion ukraine's defense minister says cave troops are very close to victory over a local militias praising the progress the army has made in recent years. now

ukrainian forces are closing in on other resistance strongholds in the city of donetsk is a one of them it's been under continued shelling for weeks with residential areas frequently coming under fire now these are the latest pictures we've received from the outskirts of that he has which is also a regional capital they purportedly show family homes perhaps only razed to the ground apparently by army shelling locals say there were no anti-government forces stationed in the area of residence which is another target of kiev square down to say a crowd a shop came under fire and one of the latest attacks. there was a crowd of thirty to forty people standing outside then came a loud whistling noise in a flash the explosion was just across the road about fifteen meters away we opened the shop door so everyone could hide and there were splinters all over the place the shop windows in front is damaged as you can see that. many of the residents say

they are too scared to leave their homes let alone send their children to kind of guard luckily no one was inside this building when it was hit by rockets just over a week ago reports of civilians being killed calmly and almost every day with more urban areas getting hit russia's foreign minister even compared the plight of people in eastern ukraine to the suffering of palestinians the population there suffers no less than the civilian population in gaza with just one difference israel has come under rocket fire from gaza and how to respond to it albeit disproportionately and we're closely watching the situation in ukraine on air and online as well our website team has minute by minute updates from the war torn country and that's at r.t. dot com. now palestinians are accusing israel of breaching its own truce by bombing a house in a one of gaza's refugee camps twenty minutes after the latest ceasefire was

announced they say an eight year old girl was killed and thirty people were injured in the attack the seven hour humanitarian window was declared to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid and let underage of thousands of displaced gazans return home the i.d.f. says the pause does not apply to the town of raw in southern gaza were three israeli soldiers died recently in an ambush the law comes after sunday's saw ten people killed when a school run by the united nations was shelled. ok. witnesses say that many were queuing for food at the gates at the time of the strike israel says the incident may be a link to an attempt by its army to kill hamas government as they drove by the un shelter the world body has repeatedly informed the i.d.f. were its facilities are located but just last week twenty people were killed in

another bombing of a un school in gaza. oh. oh. oh oh. oh. oh oh you know been is it do that again. when i was. the one i did i leave. for you. and the bombing of the gaza shelter caused outrage around the world un chief ban ki-moon described it as a criminal act and a gross violation of humanitarian law he's has 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 the disgraceful shelling but israel continues

to insist the schools are used to store weapons we talked to medics without borders advisor michele back from a hospital you know gaza is a very small area it's seven kilometers an hour and thirty kilometers so it's one point seven million people living in this very small area and still even in this area we have shelled every night eighty percent are civilians mother and three hundred of the children and just just. one hour ago you can't even if we say ceasefire now we're supposed to be ceasefire not even one hour ago schatz a camp has been shelled and i just passed through the emergency room and again children women elderly. c.b.s. and the israeli army is working hard to justify its mission on sunday it released

a video of what it says was a precision strike on a hamas rocket launcher hidden inside one of the gaza strip eventually areas and there are also images of i.d.f. soldiers removing motorbikes from what it said was a hamas tunnel i talked to their spokesman lieutenant colonel peter lerner and he says the army's only defending itself from rocket attacks from militants. that sort of continues to be threatened by indiscriminate rockets 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 they have continued to attempt to attack us through tunnels and indeed we had the incident on friday when two soldiers and then were killed in a to. back 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 so it's a huge challenge it's something we are facing but indeed we are determined. that any additional 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. meanwhile turkey's prime minister has accuse israel of the liberally killing palestinian mothers and children. the country was attempting to create a master race just like hitler once tried and there was also plenty of anti israeli settlement in jordan crowds gathered outside the u.s.

embassy in amman burning american and israeli flags and in the netherlands thousands attended a rally in support of the people of gaza strangers laid flowers on top of small coffins representing palestinians killed by israeli airstrikes and those living in the west bank are also expressing their solidarity with gaza as harry fear reports . billboards and banners across the city read here and now we see this is remote now palestine's and minister to capital since israel's campaign began nearly a month ago the outrage at the devastation of gaza's one point eight million inhabitants has boiled over into solidarity demonstrations and angry caution as several youths have been killed some shot in the chest with live fire by israeli troops people here are in mourning their lives on hold we do not consider ourselves

like a distant time living the war we watch the news. we send our play years we send the world thoughts. 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 what they consider a defacto ghetto just tens of kilometers away they are not tried to come out of the fire i think their humanity i'm crying in front of the skis of the t.v. these are the to do anything to help because many palestinians here have relatives in gaza. who've been injured or killed in these past weeks dr. lost fifteen relatives in the highly dangerous border neighborhood in southern. not a single house. the surely so the.

news the better news. in recent weeks not only has hamas strengthened but also the islamic jihad movement flexing against israel from within gaza it's clear that all palestinians here have gaza are on their mind with prevailing anger at israel's actions frustration with their own powerlessness and dismay at the world's reaction . maybe strong words from the united states against israel bombing gaza but it's quite different behind the scenes after the break we'll tell you about the new documents revealing the scale of washington in israel's military operations. we speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the our p.

interviews an intriguing story for you. troy arabic to find out more visit arabic. in justifying their stance they're citing all sorts of what they see as international passage in cost of what they are coming referendum in scotland but the response that they're hearing from the one is that what you're saying is illegitimate but what we have been doing is totally like a merger if you break into their story. america does is right. other people for centuries like russia or china. like this straight. back to america does is right because america doesn't.

matter what you want to international while the white house shakes its hand of the i.d.f. bombing of gaza it turns out the n.s.a. has been close friends with israel for the past decade new documents released by glenn greenwald who broke the n.s.a. snooping scally a year ago show washington has been providing intelligence as well as cash to combat palestinian terrorism playboy code has the details. when greenwald says that every time another attack on gaza takes place just like that shelling of the un school shelter the us and public figures in the us talk about how devastating the conflict is as though it's some sort of natural disaster but in fact according to glenn greenwald the u.s. directly enables israel's actions so he cites for example documents that say that over the past decade the n.s.a. has expanded the number of ways in which it works with the israeli intelligence

agencies he also talks about large payments large sums of money that have been paid from the u.s. government over to israeli operatives now all this is on top of publicly available information that the u.s. government is continuing to supply israel with weapons such as i munition and grenade launchers amidst this very violent offensive now both the n.s.a. and g c h q have said that they comment on their existing relationships but everything they do is within the framework of the law now glenn greenwald says that legal or not these new documents highlight the role the u.s. role in israeli what he calls israeli aggression towards its neighbors he says that the help of the u.s. and its key allies is very curved and it is squarely at odds with the image that

the u.s. has cultivated of being a helpless by stand in this conflict of being completely detached in this conflict . africa's terrifying a bowl outbreak has put major pharmaceutical firms in the firing line accused of letting people suffer a top public health doctor in britain says it find a cure if the virus came to london r.t. dot com has more on his fury at the drugs industry's response to the deadly infection and also found saying learning is spying and one of the one to be in the next zero zero seven britain's spy agency has signed up universities to teach its next generation of cyber agents. racism is not something that will go away by simply pretending it doesn't exist but that's precisely what the swedish government is being accused of doing are just bitter all over explains. scandinavia has long being billed as something of

a trailblazer when it comes to tolerance and multiculturalism in society the latest move in sweden could see all references to race or ethnicity removed from the country's legislation now the integration minister in sweden says that he's putting this forward because there's no such thing as race in his society anymore however it has come in for criticism from the national afro swedish association who say that just legislating a review or removing this wording from legislature isn't going to stop racists when we remove. race. make it impossible to the reality of people or races or this invented in the race decided to try to take these conceptual tools away from us you leave us with herb's that is foreign born or national born and we think that that is what we have missed the trying people keeping them from becoming

a little and racially conscience we're not behind. and it's not just in sweden that new laws on tolerance are coming into place here in denmark you legislation is set to make it easier for transgender people to officially register their change of gender without having previously had to undergo sexual reassignment surgery also what's going on here in scandinavia is a toy company is trying to set out the message of not gender stereotyping early on by issuing a catalog in time for christmas it's going to show a gender neutral toyah advertisements meaning little boys and little girls playing with things like toy ovens and toy workbenches not dependent on their gender in a message to try and spread the word to a quality and tolerance across the region. laws allowing people to change their gender on official documents without first having to undergo surgery after moral treatment have now been introduced in a number of you. countries in germany parents can refrain from classifying their

newborn babies as male or female leaving it up to the child to decide for itself later you can even choose to leave it sex undetermined but in france a plan to introduce gender theory classes in primary schools was scrapped after mass protests by outraged parents the idea was to teach kids that can choose their own sexual identity. well take a look at some other stories from around the world rescuers are still searching for survivors after the six point one earthquake that hit china's you non-profits on sunday killing at least three hundred ninety one and injuring more than eight hundred others officials expect the number of deaths to rise as rescuers scramble through the ruins of leveled villages rain and thunderstorms are being forecast which could hand their efforts to provide emergency relief for the victims. of flooding asked one small town in northern bulgaria killing one person and causing

hold five dams as well as several key military bases including one of saddam hussein's former calico weapons facilities. now we're going to discuss the situation further with the president of the arab lawyers association thank you so much mr almatov for joining us today to talk about the situation in the region how the job is are focusing of course on capturing objects of strategic importance as we have reported so how do you size up the prospects of this so-called smart war. i think probably the report should reflect that it is actually though there are these fighters the militants but in fact it is the people in that region who are supporting you one would have to understand these groups these militant groups are not working a nice addition to what is good in the environment they are they are supported by the people and they have because they are the people out there who are paying the price for this militancy of the same time they have to make

a choice between the two evils whether it is maliki or the militants and the militants treating them much better than maliki and i think at the present moment if we continue to accuse all the uprising as being isis or we would be doing yourself a disservice because we have demonizing the uprising of the people how full of iraq is now outside the control of the mikey. simply because maliki has been on record by the e.u. and by the human rights organizations by transparency international and all the other organizations he has he ends a regime which was set up by the americans is abusing the people to the extent they are even willing to go along with isis or whoever to have a little more self-respect and less oppression because they are under their oppression and they are the people who are facing it and we cannot be monarchists more than their oil list because the people there are the people who are paying the

price it is not a new york not in london not even in moscow those people are of course they are militants of course they are trying to impose on the people and we've seen they they destroyed mosques churches they removed the christians from certain areas but at the same time they are the lesser evil as they are seen by the population in how awful for the rock at least well you know we have to look at the situation in iraq i mean look at the tapestry of the africa tapestry of the country i mean it's a multi and. country. and of course their religious factor plays its own role here we know that the islamic states latest gains the world lost by kurdish forces who had until now stude firm against the radical fighters so what do you make of the situation. there given the latest developments i mean is the capture of the missile down from them a turning point in the conflict. i don't think it is a turning point as far as the kurdish region is concerned they don't at the present

moment because there you have to understand the situation there the kurdish movement does not and the kurdish region does not want to enter into a fight with with the revolution iced with the isis with the ba'ath as with the rest of the military councils with the tribal councils they are all working together because bush region does not want to get into country they they down itself although it sounds strategically important as you have said in your report about this knowledge you know that they have captured a base which had their eye weapons of mass destruction this is part of the media hype which is being minute which is being propagated by the western media as well as other media certainly that they are expanding their influence because they have the support of the people that because they are good people who have to look after them they are looking after them more than the government did and their. friends to

the ethnicities and various groups and religions this applies in almost every country in the world but the difference is that when you have a regime which is a pressing their people or some of the people then you have this reaction if the treatment is fair and reasonable even in societies which are made out of ethnicity and religion and sectarian what have you if there is a reasonable treatment to people people do not rise up to arms but this is this is to asia when you have the whole community of international community indeed even russia all right so mr and also are unfortunately we're running out of time so we'll have to leave it there president lawrence association telephonic are there. and so he said every now and say i asks if civilian suffering is inevitable when people are given a license to kill next nineteen or national but it's a look at murky side of the global stay straight if you're watching us in britain.

a few weeks ago we discussed detroit's plans to shut off water to those who can't pay their bills logically what a basic human assessor he could get taken away some protesters gathered to give their opinion on the issue at our plaza and what is the response from the state maybe some sort of dialogue or explanation as to why they have to turn off the water you know they turned up on the high tech quote non lethal weaponry against the protesters they used an l. red system which basically blasted the protesters with sound which sounds but intended humane until you look into it and read that the weapon can cause permanent hearing loss the company even admits this is true at less than fifteen meters we see all across the country so-called non-lethal weapons being used to very harmful and even to well we thought ns but why does this happen because they make breaking

up protest easy unsafe for the cops remember in the old days when you had to physically break up protests or things like el read allow any coward to just flip a switch to disperse a crowd with not a drop of blood visible and the fact that it seems not harmful as the police to be justified in using it whenever they want for the sake of the constitution i think no police forces should be able to use a spell read technology but that's just my opinion.
