it's. the light. but. breaking news moscow rolls out its own restrictions on imports from countries which have imposed sanctions on russia over the crisis in ukraine. food water and power shortages the b.c. cities of eastern ukraine the worsening situation is that the u.n. to demand they stop the fighting to end the humanitarian crisis. and the united nations believes the nearly three hundred thousand people have been displaced by the escalating standoff between the kiev army and local militia most of them fleeing to russia r.t. follows their road to safety. a fragile truce in

gaza with two days of a humanitarian ceasefire left to run israelis and palestinians prepare for tough talks to prolong the deal. welcome thanks for joining us once again my name is near harvey and you're watching r.t. international. and we will start with our breaking news that moscow has imposed sanctions against countries which have introduced their own restrictions against russia over the crisis in ukraine there will now be a limit on the imports of some agricultural goods for one year let's get more on this by speaking to us is your piskun off good see you again you go. we've got some idea of sanctions what more can you tell us more indeed what more can we expect to be on russia's blacklist. well this decree signed by the presidents either bands or

limits the import of products coming from countries which have been involved in sanctioning russia for its policies on the ukraine and these countries include the us and member states the european union officially sanctions will affect raw materials farming food farming products and foods the exact list of products is expected to be published on thursday by the government but there's already some leaked information about what we may and what we may not see on it for instance baby food and wine is not expected to be affected however different types of vegetables fruit meat cheese is expected to be limited from now on and also according to russia's agricultural watchdog. poultry imported from the united states is also going to be banned now these limitations are expected to last for about a year although it says on the kremlin's websites where this decree was published

that the time span may be revised and of course all of this is being viewed as moscow's response to the sets of international sanctions on russia which have been targeting now all sectors of the russian economy many companies have already felt their effect here in russia some even had to temporarily suspend operations altogether but it's not only russian companies which have been affected but their international partners as well including in the west and actually britain's biggest labor union has called on the country's government not to take part in anti russian sanctions because they say that they go against britain's financial interests. in thinking. the the early details emerging on those have recently russian sanctions. america's decision has been picked up by major news outlets across the globe while

diplomatic sources in europe describe russia's sanctions as counterproductive and unjustified on the european union's ambassador to russia said that the crisis in ukraine should not be resolved with sanctions but tackled with steps towards deescalation something that moscow has been saying for months these envoy less so said to russia's restrictions will not affect the u.s. position on ukraine and. political analysts from the international action center believes that the west forced a response to what sanctions are is an economic warfare when the u.s. or or western countries sanction a country they're trying to cut off from international trade and that results in that results in a lot of suffering in that country and because the world economy is centered around western banks were rationed they have the ability to kind of attack countries so russia is responding to what's being done by the united states the leaders of russia made clear they have no desire for a conflict with the united states they don't want to get into a conflict they're not seeking any aggression but yet the united states attacking

the united states is putting them in a corner of the united states is overthrown the democratic government of ukraine the united states continues to do it with these sanctions on russia so russia is taking action to protect itself this is this is economic warfare between two countries and and the united states is through the aggressor. the u.n. is calling for an end to violence in eastern ukraine to prevent a severe humanitarian crisis the guns the second largest city in the region has been the worst hit so we can see with these images here on monday officials declared a state of humanitarian disaster and say the situation hasn't improved since and here is what a senior u.n. official thinks about it. insecurity and violence prevail in conflict areas resulting in a steady worsening of the humanitarian situation fighting has caused significant damage to infrastructure affecting the power and water supplies and access to basic services health supplies are running low and an estimated seventy percent of health

personnel have fled and this will continue to deteriorate for as long as violence persists well as seen the united nations official speaking there he was talking to a u.n. emergency meeting about the increasing hardships of life in eastern ukraine kiev however sees the situation differently. there is no need in india in crisis in ukraine as it is continued to be pulled through by our russian colleagues. and i was echoed by some western delegations with the u.s. representative questioning whether the humanitarian situation in ukraine actually needed an emergency meeting of the u.k. envoy blamed russia for the crisis moscow requested the meeting of the u.n. security council russia's envoy called for a humanitarian mission saying that the situation is catastrophic. artillery tanks as well as grad rockets have been used locals are saying phosphorus

in cluster bombs are still being used there is indiscriminate shelling of housing blocks and critical civilian infrastructure in many small towns about eighty percent of houses have been destroyed according to the most conservative estimates more than six hundred buildings have been razed to the ground. meanwhile a quarter of a million people are stuck in lugansk able to leave and getting out of the war zone is proving dangerous often fatal just take a look at this video from the region it appears to show a rocket presumably fired by a heavy missile launcher hitting a highway just in front of a car fortunately the driver survived he says he's actually only alive though because the armor plated his vehicle i. and officials in don't yet which is another key antigovernment stronghold say that three civilians were killed there overnight as the outskirts of the city came under heavy artillery fire has been stepping up its offensive on down yet to regional capital with

a population of just under a million it's reportedly concentrating tanks and armored vehicles in the area preparing for a major offensive to retake it from local militia and these are the latest pictures from dan yes they share the aftermath of overnight strikes this time the violence was closer than ever to the city center. you know but if the next person you a little cynical you can you call your purpose to you can you read each person would. you feel. after weeks of siege and heavy battles on the outskirts of done yet the locals are living in fear of what's still to come we spoke to one of the residents one your brother

or your mother in food stocks have decreased severely and we're having shortages of water and electricity in the areas close to the airport people are forced to cook their food on bonfires it's a very tense situation here the majority of people don't know what to do they can't even abandon all of their belongings but it's terrifying to stay is while. all this is what don yes used to like at this time of year a very pleasant place to be in the summer for locals and visitors ukraine's fifth largest city and one of the country's main economic hubs it was also a host city in the two thousand and twelve european football championships but the ongoing violence has changed things drastically and we can take a look at just how drastically the suburbs of the city have turned into a war zone pounded on a daily. or daily shadow by shells thousands have been forced from their homes and this is the international airport and yet airport the terminal there opened just

two years ago it's been a focal point of combat and all flights there and now suspended. i want done yes hotel welcomes its guests with a warning of possible rocket attacks head to r.t. dot com for the details as well as minute by minute updates on the situation in ukraine. and the u.n. says that almost three hundred thousand people have become refugees since the conflict in ukraine began most of them have been fleeing to russia riff and i went to one of the border crossings. in each of these cars individual stories of anger uncertainty and loss. these ukrainians are fleeing their homes for russia after months of conflict has left well over one thousand civilians dead and reduced whole cities to rubble the people in these cars have already spend six or

seven hours sitting in line waiting to cross the border which is still a kilometer away but they say they're ready to wait as they practically have no other choice but bill overclock the mark well below average of muslims made up of the national sociopath. who. live in is no car got more than over the throne you don't usually many of the cars here have a sign saying they've got children on board the war doesn't discriminate between age or gender only your child will i go to is it safe to be in a tutu through the. years or put a little sheepish will get as close to his nose the way that little that i'm going to push the button on the chopper you wait a minute this is where many refugees will end up when they make it across the border to russia and people here are angry because i saddam also brought a man but i still not all feel warsi should have brought him so i'm

in justifying their stance they're citing all sorts of what they see as international press advance in cost of the upcoming referendum in scotland but the response that they're hearing from the wife is that what you're doing is illegitimate but what we've been doing is still full of life a marriage if you break into there should be. a marriage or does is right rules are made for other people for centuries like russia like this straight. america does. because america doesn't. choose your language call it a killer though if they're going to. play services choose good the consensus can. choose the opinions that invigorating to. choose the

stories that impact the life choose be access to your office. continue by bringing you some details just in which is that israel has agreed to extend a cease fire in gaza beyond the current deadline is not yet known exactly how long that will be but we will update you as soon as we find out as we know both sides sent delegations to egypt to try and put in place a longer lasting the currency's far was holding firm for a second straight day on tuesday israel decided to withdraw its army after almost a month of fighting the i.d.f. says that it has completed its main mission which was to destroy the hideouts internals belonging to hamas but the campaign has brought the worst devastation and

civilian losses in years and even within the israeli forces there are many dissenting voices paula slayer spoke to some of them. you know that there are a lot of soldiers a come back and say to yourself you know what the hell are we doing here you know why are we using so much force why are we treating them best way is one such form israeli soldier she calls herself an anti occupation activist and was one of fifty percent of troops to sign an open letter to the washington post refusing receipt of juicy stock in their show. during the service i didn't talk about this thing in so many out there you just a part of it but more and more soldiers are choosing not to be part of an army increasingly seen as the bully in the region of spending billion billion a rural or. different through the system and there is no top of the. the for the river possibility

overcoming five wars in eighty years levanon two thousand and six thirty four days more than eight hundred people killed and in the end israel faced an even stronger hizbollah four devastating wars with a months two thousand and six eight twelve and fourteen thousand skilled international outrage and in the end israel faced a unity government between former rivals hamas and fatah foreign policy was. we had four years in the which we lost the middle east we lost. we in a way lost egypt. and we are very isolated in the middle east and many would argue more vulnerable the latest operation protective age has done seemingly little to protect israel in the long term you're not going to finish by trying to physically destroy hamas there isn't and there's nothing that indicates that it

will work this time or indeed the next time and that's taking its toll on the reputation of what was once considered one of the world's most efficient fighting forces the hope is that the coming days will see a permanent cease fire in place but bottom line gaza is in tatters mistrust between israelis and palestinians is at an all time high policy r.t. tell of of. of or are is a civil engineer from sheffield in the u.k. who lost eleven members of his family in a single israeli airstrike he told us his story. after midnight an early morning. while my abilities were sleeping the block of flats three floors we thought of each other they were helped by the first missile in which the israelis call. a warning listen one weakness is called guiding the missile for the f. sixteen as you can imagine the terrified they started rushing down in their pajamas

and nineteen is at the entrance of the building they were hurt by the f. sixteen bomb which killed some of them in germany the entire neighborhood came out thinking that that's it the drawn so the missile and then the f. sixteen but to our show come of course to there are tragedy affair and the rocket by by the f. sixteen was was launched and killed the rest of them they are just it's called la joining forty year old brother. and their cousins. and that the fifteen and mohammad eleven the two sisters and the brother were the first in their school every year and the with their parents and the entire neighborhood and all of us were very very proud of them what i want to say to the israeli spokespeople when they give the all the false statements about the

palestinians using their children as human shields were my cousins being used as human shields when they were fleeing for their lives i really can't imagine our spokesperson. through his or her teeth who they know exactly that. they are killing innocent people in my dictionary in international law dictionary this are crimes but why is israel getting away with it why can benjamin netanyahu today come out in a press conference and say we don't target civilians i don't understand. of the cease fire is the longest slow in a war that is killed nearly one thousand nine hundred palestinians both the israeli military and palestinians of violated previous truces although one side did so more frequently and far more fatally israel is speech to cease fire more than one hundred ninety times ten percent of those cases resulted in death and almost half of them caused injuries on the palestinian side there were around seventy five

violations just four percent and it with people being wounded and none of them and ing in deaths earlier my colleague to say spoke to poor hershon from the israeli ministry of foreign affairs and he told israel resorts to such measures only under pressure from harm us. why did the israel decide to withdraw now has anything been achieved apart from the large scale of loss of civilians that we've all seen happen first of all we didn't want to be in this conflict in the first place we said that very loudly and openly and publicly we said quietly through the diplomatic channels that would be responded to because this was a message which was rejected out of hand by some us who insisted on this collecting the violence we basically finished the work which is to decommission those territories which traverse the international front here having done that we still have the issue of the rockets or mortars the missiles that are being fired at our civilians hopefully hopefully the number of casualties will be lower than the

numbers that are being thrown around by the hamas ministry of health we certainly know that about fifty percent of the fatalities of terrorist of the others which means for the many perhaps approaching a thousand civilians being killed we'll find that maybe hoffa's been killed by hamas many of whom in the execution style of call off of so-called collaborators and people who demonstrated against hamas let me just jump in there i don't think any of us are standing is saying what hamas is doing is correct i want to clarify that what i merely asked for here is the scale in which you went into this attack sure is questionable many civilians died quoted by many human rights watch organizations as well as a un and the world is watching and i'm really asking you is this right that you do every magill you you did as a government as a country to make sure that little kids small children women i secured many people died and that's the great tragedy of what goes on and that's why we didn't want to

be in this conflict in the first place the israeli military took unprecedented steps to try and minimize and limit civilian casualties i'm not going to belittle the death of any civilian even one is too many and we grieve all civilian casualties on. sides this is the difference between ourselves and comments we have deliberately done everything they can to generate civilian casualties on the israeli side because they hate us and on their own slide in order to prosecute a public relations war against israel. this war has also witnessed some extraordinary moments this little girl's thoughts of being killed the house using collapsed after being hit by an airstrike last week but in regular slave rescuers pulled the eight month old out of the rubble alive and he she is today israeli attack killed her mother and older sister as well as nineteen other people in the building a father is alive and says that his daughter is a reminder of the loved ones that they lost.
