instead. the. israel and outs are complete withdrawal of troops from gaza as a new three day cease fire takes hold. reportedly massing military hardware around these two planes in the field hospital done that's a look at how civilians spend their days in basements fearing a possible all out assault. u.s. officials slam a covert u.s. a idea operation to stoke unrest in cuba under the guise of a benign health program.

one pm in moscow good to have you with us our top story this hour israel's and i was a complete withdrawal of troops from gaza this is a lie video from the area the new seventy two hour cease fire is in place the last three day truce though collapsed soon after it began or his policy reforms. a seventy two hour wait temporary cease fire has now been effected just moments before it in fact was implemented they will be rations of rockets fired it is what at the same time these way the military was responding with a strikes over gaza we're hearing from these radio army is that all its soldiers have now left gaza this follows overnight destruction of tunnels they are in according to figures that we've been given from the israeli defense forces they say that they have managed to destroy fifty to what they call underground infiltration passages they've killed nine hundred militant fighters but of course this is coming to him the prize let's not forget that somewhere in the region of one thousand nine hundred gazans have. killed the majority of them civilians there is

a palestinian authority hamas delegation that is in cairo for talks we are being told that the idea is that during this seventy two hour cease fire news radio delegation will arrive in the egyptian capital and negotiations will take place for a permanent end to hostilities you know we don't have any concrete information as to what are the terms of this proposal at the moment but what we do understand and this is information coming from an israeli spokesperson that it's much the same ceasefire proposal that was put forward three weeks ago israel is calling for a complete militarization of the gaza strip hamas for its side is insisting there be a lifting of the siege that israel has imposed on gaza now there is a silent voice here in israel but it is a voice that is struggling to be heard and that is the voice of israel's lift who are taking to the streets to demand that israel in this operation in gaza.

whose people are is really they're not jewish even an arab wouldn't behave like this they call themselves beautiful souls would be harmed the jewish people. israelis opposed to the military operation are finding it increasingly hard to get their voice heard above the right wingers 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 or brothers or 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 never. mind 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 protests in central tel aviv to be smaller this is

a pretty poor turnout but it's not unexpected the israeli left is a pretty quiet voice at the moment in israel what they shouting is that their racist government will not bring security and after that it's bad but godless of whether it's in israel or gaza. pellant is one of the few who's not afraid to speak his mind and sit at home and just watch people dying it's. still my brother in gaza if you know right now that. my uncle died in lebanon thirty years ago i want the war to stop that's it and he's not sure what he says is not true typical peace activist an operative in israel secret services for more than twenty years the fifty seven year old is now a campaigner at combatants for peace once a new force of the occupation he now works alongside palestinians and former israeli soldiers to dismantle it this israeli left trying to briggs just. trying to be left to be had because. we are small minority

a when there is a war if we can call it what's happening now 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 for me and others my team hope that with time they will be on the point. signs of history. of the. operation protective edge of the deadliest israeli offensive in years the number of palestinians killed in gaza since july approaching one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israelis have also lost their lives in the fighting or he's going to josh i spoke with a lot of stein from israel's foreign ministry who explained 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 this structure and this agreement here was not about him us it was about civilians innocent civilians they're being killed here yes and

unfortunately the hamas uses these people as human shields you know i mean she is a warrant 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 that they you know and also said that they found missiles into one risk pools they went out and said if 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 a 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 in 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 the whole you 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. overnight witnesses and local activists say the ukrainian army has been bombing residential areas in the city of girl of near the regional capital dyads they claim forces are using heavy weaponry including rocket launchers that were deployed in the area on monday is video reportedly showing some of that equipment and hardware and government forces claim the army seeking to dig the area surrounding benefits go ahead of an all out assault on the city people in another suburb also a target of the crackdowns are in despair. like you said just you know they do you know look when you are going to be kind of easy even if you want to be sure of the business.

so let's take another quick look at the geography of the area just to acquaint you with it you can see that some of the urban targets of artillery fire are around the city of donetsk here this yellow dot the army's been trying to close in on the resistance have now they've effectively formed a triangle around the city with the end goal of military operation there to explain the scale of the looming operation here some facts about the city it's ukraine's fifth largest city with nearly a million inhabitants last year didn't its crew gained its title as the most attractive city for business in ukraine according to forbes magazine it's a top economic hub and the center of the nation's mining industry and two years ago its streets were full of football fans one hosted the euro two thousand and twelve semifinal our correspondent maria if an ocean also in the besieged city she says right now it's barely recognizable from the last time she was there. the lugansk is

a shadow of its former self it was once a flourishing regional center with a population of half a million 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 lugansk 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 crime i thought because they used to be two major percenters 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 town has been shut down the sign says. tahoe is quote the further we go from the center the greater the destruction all of his house was damaged when a shell exploded in her garden and sort of the flowers should planted there is now a deep crater. is there i should buy you break

a deal is i who are them i suggested that you. do would you. like other locals here who haven't already fled the fighting has taken shelter in a basement here 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 pretty good how i got your back i know those sheltering on the ground and seek. and desperate like you know where you are just now you know up here sure you're not sure if the diagram or what i hear. as we're speaking nearly two city drops out like cows are a constant problem here the lines were apparently repaired just before we arrived now down the street where we're going to go everybody has to get out of those or. if it is that he or she look we're all data really going to go out with one very big. the reasons shelter under almost every apartment building in lugansk and

they're really empty there's another basement that the has recently become home to local residents and it's not that they hide here at the time of intense shelling and widely and you can see they're literally leave here every family has its own place here like an apartment building but underground in one of the corridor or a school meter the youngest resident i've seen here so far as many of the fears of the older people here. paul says she'll remember this. was just a couple of go. in there sharon school was at nine pm every day people in different basically mystery site the same prayer. they ask for god to protect them and bring them peace but as the shelling continues around them the furthest a day to plan

a had is to moderate when they say they will meet him again with brief notion r.t. lugansk ukraine. why then four hundred thirty ukrainian troops cross the russian border appealing for sanctuary some of them already returned to the country about have to ukraine but entered an area that's conflict free it's the largest number of ukrainian military personnel to lay down their arms across the border but smaller groups have done it before latest group describes their motives. fortune sitting on the phone you don't forget what we have always missed so many deaths and other terrible things so all of us are very happy to be here we've been given a new clothes and managed to rest and we're very grateful for that. but. we were encircled we had no way out 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 we and they are the same

people are not in the book with. a gun are to dot com to learn the history of reporting morale slumped within the kiev military and sent off beef ways the government thought up to tackle the problem. right on the street. first street. and i would think that you're. on our reporters with their. instrument. to be in the. still to come london with scotland with a trip to the stars a look at the future of the space industry in great britain stay with us.

order past the hour now some u.s. officials accuse their government of undermining public health or a global health programs after revelations washington's been secretly using an hiv prevention campaign in cuba to foment political unrest undercover operation run by usa id since two thousand and nine was uncovered by the associated press 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 poles to weaken and peruvian young people to cuba hoping to provoke a revolution their young latinos often pose those tourists they traveled across the

quote it unable to support the cuban civil society while provide pressing desire cubans to express information and training about hiv and prevention . when u.s. state department spokesperson jen psaki was asked about the revelations she denied the usaid program had a mixed mission. 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. the white house also faced questions about another door purpose program exposed by reporters in two thousand and nine u.s. government was apparently involved in setting up a twitter like program in cuba but the social network known as soon as you knew was about more than merely chatting and cherry pictures. the program was hidden from
