a very small. seven. so it's one point seven million people living in very small. and still even. every night. sent. to camp has been shelled and i just passed through the emergency room and again children women and. despite the mounting death toll in gaza president obama signed a law monday giving more than two hundred twenty million dollars in aid for israel's iron dome defense system which is going to josh you spoke with a lot of stein from israel's foreign ministry who explain why israel feels the operation is the only option. this is a terror going to zation that we're fighting terrorism is a sham that's one to bring destruction i want to remind you that even today we have a new humanitarian at ceasefire for quite

a few hours while the well the people and hamas kept on shooting at us just today twenty three rockets when we let the passages be opened in order to bring in more than one hundred trucks and a lot of assistance to the people in gaza because we see them as hostages the disagreement here was not about him us it was about civilians innocent civilians they're being killed here yes and unfortunately the from us uses these people as human shields you know anything untoward is there on a number of occasions about you know where civilian objects are located in this specifically this particular school why is it that israel has not heeded the u.i. and also said that they found missiles into one risk pools they went out and said it that's un schools that were used to hide missiles this is just another one when israel was warned about this that you know there are civilians in the school sheltering also u.n. secretary ban ki-moon cold your action a war crime but you know why does this not unsettle you it unsettles us

a lot we would not want to be in this situation the first place that's why in the beginning we did not start a military operation but once you have rockets flown at you again and again we've passed the three thousand rockets that were shot at us in the last month three thousand rockets is there one country among the g. twenty israel in this can you name one yes of course the whole e.u. went out and declared that the hamas has to be militarized meaning they understand that hamas has to weave draw all their weapons and stop being a threat to the people of israel and they said if you can look at what merkel said you can look at what obama said so actually actually we have a lot of support. calls amounting to stop violence in gaza among the top official speaking out france's foreign minister who says that israel security does not justify killing children and massacring civilians in israel peace activists i'm getting less popular are his policy reports. so these people are is

really haters they're not jewish even an arab wouldn't behave like this they call themselves beautiful souls but they harm the jewish people. israelis opposed to the military operation are finding it increasingly hard to get their voice heard about the right wing is when people do speak up their shouted down and physically attacked it's extremely hard to demonstrate when you're fighting because the people are doing the fighting are our kids our brothers our husbands people are saying things and selling things and doing things violently that they would never even dared in past years the right wing is move. now that they need to be executed executed between ass and the arabs there will be no peace they don't want peace if they had wanted peace they wouldn't shoot rockets bombs at us and with every passing week the number of people attending the antiwar protest. this is

a pretty put turnout but it's not unexpected these made a left is a pretty quiet voice at the moment imagine what base shouting is that they're racist government will not bring security and if that is bad the goddess of whether it's in israel or gaza. is one of the few he's not afraid to speak his mind it's home and. it's to. my brother in gaza if you know right now that. my uncle died in lebanon thirty years ago i want the world to stop that's it and he's not. one he is not your typical peace activist and not put it in his will secret services for more than twenty years the fifty seven year old is now a campaign that combatants for peace once a new force of the occupation he now works alongside palestinians and former israeli soldiers to dismantle it these are really trying to exist.

trying to be left to be because. we have a small minority a when there is a war if we can call it what's happening in a war people tend to sympathize with. with the state and not to be to talk against it's not easy to be on the wrong side of public opinion but horny and out this hope that with time they will be on the right side of history. overnight the ukrainian army has been bombarding residential areas in the city of gori not far from the regional capital donetsk reports from witnesses and local activists saying so much they claim here forces are taking advantage of heavy weaponry including advanced rocket launchers deployed in the area on monday there's a video believed to show some of the hardware's movement and government forces claim the army is seeking to take full control of areas surrounding done and scared

of a full out assault on the city people in another suburb also a recent crackdown hotspot say they are deeply in despair. business you were when you have been you go start your new group when you you join. i i i i. i. originate second largest city lugansk continues to be devastated by artillery fire almost daily a team of journalists had a near miss while working in the area this is how they describe area experience. we went to the film site where shelling took place earlier we saw some people at the bus stop and the explosion took place just a few meters from a car a vehicle blocked most of the blast so the civilians at the bus stop weren't killed shell fragments hit our vehicle and three of them injured me. we were just about to

get out of the car when the blast happened i was injured or the doctors managed to extract all of the fragments the area that was bombed was full of civilians and there was a shop very close by attacks like this happen every day here in new guns. or he's more if an ocean also in a besieged city she has seen she says it's barely recognizable. lugansk is a shadow of its former self it was once a flourishing regional center with a population of heart and. today it is largely abandoned and dangerous destroyed schools and hospitals silent reminders of an ongoing conflict and this is the hotel in the center of the gaza where we used to stay just two weeks ago there were gas here mostly journalists but also ukrainians running from violence in the towns of cum i thought against libya as they used to be a major percentage of the large scale military operation here in eastern ukraine there was also a chinese restaurant on the seventh floor but now as you can see the dow has been

shut down the sign says. tahoe is closed but the further we go from the center the greater the destruction all of his house was damaged when he shall explode in her garden and sort of the flowers she planted there is now a deep crater that is there and should be in very high gear is a hoot of them i suggest that i don't know if you would you. like other locals here who haven't already fled the fighting own god has taken shelter in the basement yet to get back you shall not. be a fool to stand my junior bachrach be an actual fact to dicky i grew to love you predict how i could get back many of those sheltering underground osieck. and desperate attack yeah. yeah you know you go up cheer for sure you're not she did very much and i'm here. as we are speaking electricity drops out like

cows are a constant problem here the lines were apparently repaired just before we arrived not down in the way you. look at it but i did get out of those or. just it and he gave me a look we're. really going to go out we're going to say give me the reasons shall turn to roll most every apartment building in the ganske and there really empty this is another basement that the has recently become home to local residents and it's not that they hide here the time of intense shelling and the bodley and you can see that it really leave here every family has its own. place here like an apartment building that underground in one of the only to them the youngest resident i've seen here so far he shares many of the fears of deal do people here know that. this. was just

a couple of gone. it was nine pm every day people in different basically we saw it the same thing you know. the ask for god to protect them and we bring in peace but there's the shelling continues around then the furthest a day to plan a had is tomorrow when they say they will need him again with relief notion are gone the ukraine. more than four hundred thirty ukrainian troops across the russian border appealing for sanctuary some of them already returned to ukraine but entered an area that's free from fighting is the largest number of ukrainian military personnel to lay down their arms and cross the border but smaller groups have done it before the latest group describes their motives. fortune sitting on the moon you don't forget what we have witnessed so many deaths and other terrible things all of

us are be very happy to be here we've been given a new clothes and managed to rest and we're very grateful for that which was about . a provided we were encircled we had no way out and so to keep the manpower safe our commanders decided to escape to russia and i think for no clear reason the ukrainian population is destroying itself because on both sides they are the same people are not in the book of. even before arriving in the battle zone many ukrainian soldiers say they were unhappy with what they'll be left to fight with. the. consumer the stories that we. will says there is. a. click on r.t. dot com to learn about slums in morale within the military and some offbeat ways the government came up with to tackle the problem.

right from the sea a little. first rate. and i think that you're. on a reporter's. instrumental. in the cold little of. their government of undermining global health programs after revelations that washington has secretly been using an hiv prevention campaign in cuba to foment political unrest there the undercover operation run by usa id since two thousand and nine was unveiled by the associated press or he's got it she has more it's no longer a secret that some of the u.s. government aid programs have a dual purpose the u.s. agency for international development usaid known for overseeing billions of dollars

in u.s. humanitarian aid was dispatching venice oil and post the weekend and. young people to cuba hoping to provoke a revolution in their young latinos often posed as tourists they traveled across the country and would put it people whom they believe they could turn into political activists a form administrator with a venezuelan over the nation who participated in this effort. net for these inexperienced workers if they were caught by cuban authorities so the spying program involving the u.s. when don't even after the scandalous the rest of the album go off in two thousand and nine who worked as a sup contractor of the usa he's now serving a fifteen year sentence in cuba the u.s. trying to foment on wednesday in cuba is nothing new of course but this latest investigation by the associated press reveals how humanitarian aid programs were used to that end. the prevention workshop which in memos obtained by the peas

labeled as quote unquote the perfect excuse for the program's political goals the government actually is they are hiding the fact that some of their programs have a dual purpose speaking about this they should be workshop program the usaid said quote it enables support for cuban civil society while providing a secondary benefit of addressing desired cubans express information and training about. prevention. when u.s. state department spokesperson jen to sock he was asked about the revelations she demurred admitting that the usa id program had dual purpose the first thing that people will ask them is how do we know that you're not cia well strengthening a civil society and empowering a civil society to be more capable is something that that was the focus of this program and again i think what's been communicated with any who have is the secretary comfortable with this apparent mixing of missions we would disagree with

that characterization former white house official craig roberts thinks the u.s. government isn't a stranger to covert overseas programs. anytime you see anything funded by washington directly or indirectly you know you are permitting washington to undermine your own country or your own government and the same goes true if you say oh oh look how wonderful that americans who dream about us this in a bank here all their energy companies and then to come help us they're not there will be there conducting subversion this is what they do and that is that it blows my mind how consumers fall over the us over and over and all the countries who don't fall on the government's conscience and don't call forth are generally assassins. and particularly in latin america south america and

but. in that in most cases they're simply caught off. the process by itself leaders and in the leaders or rich making bar often they permit. washington hosting the first ever u.s. africa summit surely we take a look at what's behind the us growing interest in the continent and if china has already beaten washington to the punch here. and london scotland with a trip to the stars a look at the future of the space industry in great britain. please it was a. very hard to take out a little. longer than. that back with me there's no. one.

level. of. i think. over the if you go 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. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of

our government and across silicon we've been hijacked handful of friends national corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once i'm john mark and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying. rational debate and real discussion critical issues facing them are ready to join the movement then walk in the big picture. twenty minutes past the hour to cement u.s. relations with africa president barack obama is hosting a first ever summit with the continent's leaders washington expects while a billion dollars worth of business and to widen its funding into peacekeeping food and electricity programs that's amid downplaying speculations that the u.s.

interest in africa is purely to challenge china in the meantime the u.s. has been boosting its direct foreign investment into the continent trade has increased almost a hundred billion dollars but that number is nowhere near china's involvement there johannesburg based journalist richard public thinks the u.s. is too late to realize africa's potential. it really is a multi it's an issue that is very very old and you if you listen to someone like michael bloomberg be it's may. be a city street that we should be. the station to get big you can african nations and concentrate on africa as a market they really want to put it back behind. their companies and a initiatives including on the african continent most. likely administration is very late woke up to the fact that i have very very important part of the world what the chinese understood for most anyone else is that africa is going to be a market and that ended up being good very very very successful coach. taking

injured more than one thousand eight hundred. the number of dead to rise as rescuers scramble through the ruins rain and storms and more last for the next few days likely to hinder relief efforts. london seeking to ignite the u.k. space industry in a move scotland in the process artie's polly boyko looks at the prospects of british space tourism. the scottish are being promised all sorts to stay in the u.k. but now they're being sold on trips to the stars. that's because the british government wants to reach the final frontier or rather build a space port for commercial space travel by twenty eighteen and scotland has a shot at housing the launch pad the u.k. space industry is growing at an astronomical pace it already contributes over in lebanon billion pounds to the u.k. economy every year it employs a with thirty thousand people but as the focus of one british satellite building
