question is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politics only on r t. as an entire family is. international look at the methods used by the crackdown on the government resistance. a growing number of ukrainian troops revolt against the way the government is handling the crisis we speak to some of the desert seeking refuge in russia. the fragile cease fire holds into its final day in gaza but israel and hamas failed to agree on any extension raising fears of read bloodshed on the channel we report on those struggling to get medical help in the deadly conflict. plus.

a russian. million smartphones are in fact it would. ultimately allowing hackers to control them as if they were their own. around the world around the clock it's international law with me rule resewn welcome to the program first though let's go to these places because we have thick plumes of black smoke this is the scene in the center of kiev the very latest pictures showing. on the infamous my down square you may remember that's where the government of originally started last year some of the ten. was still there and started dismantling them on wednesday a similar tactics were used before in the winter when protesters but hundreds of

times across the city to prevent a riot police advancing on that comes one more time latest pictures right there. in the meantime an entire family has been killed in shelling just outside lugansk in east ukraine graphic footage showing neighbors pulling out five bodies from a basement where they had been seeking shelter it's reported a shell hit their house causing it to collapse and bury them beneath the borders if you insist otherwise. it was. you what does it give you. and this gigantic crater was what residents in

a small town in the don't yet see region found after a heavy bombing campaign. all the while kiev denies it's using any banned weapons in its crackdown on the eastern provinces but let's have a look and see what they have been deploying for example the creators like this one these are left by ballistic missiles they strike a pre-determined target with a range of up to three hundred kilometers with a variety of warheads which can include chemical now holds for example like this one in residential areas in eastern ukraine these are being caused by missiles fired from a gun and it's a powerful rocket launcher and strikes are seen as highly inaccurate and the area of damage can be up to forty two hectares and of course mortar shells also they've been raining down on eastern regions for several months now causing damage all damage like this you can see here and when they hit their targets shrapnel explodes causing widespread destruction and words military expert bridge he says whoever is

arming and aiming the military here with these weapons should bear the responsibility for the hundreds of deaths. states on target to use weapons of course sceptically if as they say they're acting in self-defense but at all times states have an obligation to safeguard civilians that means to say that they can't . target civilians would be one consistent and they can't target as in which civilians if you like. dominant that it becomes that it puts disproportion attack and of course the larger the background here we're talking about ballistic weapons allegedly the supreme use of that very large warheads that places even more onus of responsibility on those using those weapons to ensure that they don't disproportionate harm civilians and in these kind of urban battlefields that's mark to east ukraine and yet if you like it's almost impossible to use those weapons without harming civilians and so again their use could be very easily described and

could amount to a war crime and now some ukrainian soldiers have been so well east that now over four hundred troops have crossed the border to russia seeking refuge there. went to meet them we would need thanks to the successful and operation a country will soon be cleared of militants and mercenaries. not. when we were carrying out military operations in ukraine we were surrounded and we couldn't escape by the socialist in the disposition the thing is we didn't have enough equipment to hold the enemy and that's why we made this decision. of money on how full the soldiers were lied to they don't want to fight and many of

them were grabbed from towns and villages and made to join the army. or do you want to fight no no one wants to. know why does the poor go on. this tent camp and russia's risto frege and was set up specially to embrace the ukrainian military who crossed the border on sunday night one hundred eighty of them held a gun to ukraine fifty us to here facing an uneasy choice of what to do next with probably our countrymen accusers they could consider us traitors who would cross another country's border is what i don't know. which is because i support with the good and with the with now what can i say about going back i don't know but i certainly don't want to no matter how much money they'll pay me will they allow you not to come back this is a big question for you i don't know western

nations which imposed sanctions on moscow over the crisis in ukraine on no longer allowed access to russia's food market and a whole range of sectors in the agricultural industry are effective in a short while ago i spoke to peter all of a he's been following the very latest reaction among european politicians. we have heard from e.u. diplomatic sources that they believe the sanctions were unjustified and counterproductive in terms of unofficial reaction you're a former latvian foreign minister has called these type of sanctions radioactive. the dutch federation of agriculture is said that they shouldn't underestimate the potential impact of this type of of the sanctions that were put forward on the now import ban on european goods into russia from finland which is the country that has industry worth four hundred million euros

a year well. the words coming out there from the food and drink commission in that country are really downplaying it saying it's very bad very bad indeed when you look at just how much that sector is worth to finland and what they look set to lose out on over the next year. and staying with sanctions ukraine's president put a shank over has lent his support to a polish media campaign under the slogan quote eat an apple to spite hooten a president posted a picture on facebook on twitter depicting him eating an apple during a meeting with a polish politician a message said ukraine's leader supported the campaign although it was later deleted rusher imposed a ban on the import of polish apples as part of its response to western backed sanctions drawn up over the ukraine crisis. i take all the sanctions issues further and speak live to political analyst alexander sullivan often are driving us here on r.t. international this morning good to see you sir thanks for coming on the e.u. and the us are targeting russia's strategic economic sectors with their sanctions

why do you think moscow chose their version of agricultural sanctions. well thing is that has been composing below the part of the russian. e.u. countries in regards of fruits vegetables and those with. us. imports from the us all the those notoriously famous broiler drumsticks then canadian pork and all that stuff so every culture is a very painful sector i would say for the imports of the same time it can it's the. culture and raise production levels and give rise to new businesses in this sector what about there in your opinion examined which countries are likely to be hit the most by moscow's restrictions in the agricultural sector first and foremost those will be the e.u.

countries countries like the netherlands and finland moldovan of poland also the united states australia canada so those countries will be largely hit by these bans though we don't know exactly the names of those specific names of those products that are going to be bad and they will be only in the second half of the day i think either the right price and research group believes the e.u. could lose up to twelve billion dollars annually because of these food restrictions are but it also hurt russia to some degree. i think in the short run in the short term that they will affect russia in a very negative way because we will inevitably see the reaction from the market prices will i seen a rocket of fall for some food names like i think elites mostly also deal with products because it will take some time before for example bill a russian dealer products will replace the baltic products of the dutch products

like cheese for example in the long term these will have a positive effect on the domestic every cultural production and i think the market will study lies provided the that yesterday the president gave order to impose strict control on the price formation alexander what about the sanctions that washington has imposed on russia are they working. oh alexander i think we've just lost you from my with the signal has frozen up alexander it's rory here now you. guys are just a moment we've got alexander i've got you back just stand by for a second are the u.s. sanctions against russia are they being effective. personally as a citizen of russia i don't feel it's i don't think they're effective and i think the west will lose much more than russia will and how do you think it'll take though for russia to find substitutes for the european food imports now banned is

it even possible in some cases i think explosive all cases that will definitely take some time and my colleagues are experts they still made these periods from three months to eighteen months and some say exams are still live on the political analyst thank you very much for your insight here on r.t. international today thanks. well the first let's bring you back to these pictures here plumes of thick black smoke is the scene in central kiev of the very latest pictures showing tires burning on my down square of course this is where the antigovernment revolt originally started last year and some of the tents and barricades were still there the city your authority started dismantling them on wednesday a similar tactics were used before in the winter when protesters burned hundreds of tires across the city to prevent the riot police from advancing on their camps. good to have you with us it's r t international for you today

a ceasefire in gaza still holding but it's feared it won't last much longer it's after the sides fail to agree on extending the truce now the month long conflict has already claimed up to one thousand eight hundred lives most of the victims palestinian civilians and as correspondent harry fear reports only a handful of them are ever lucky enough to get the adequate medical attention they so desperately need. every day patients arrive from gaza to palestinian hospitals in jerusalem and the west bank the marcus said hospital in east jerusalem has received dozens of cases since the latest conflict erupted in this room he is six years old patient that was two weeks ago he has multiple business skull fracture after the bombing of his house here received unconscious aware of the environment. in his first few days here khalid's life was

maintained by a country that has made a solid recovery doctors say and is now able to make his life his mother nihad has been by her side for almost three weeks only one relative is allowed to accompany such medical cases from gaza but the only granted one day's access to israel. i cannot sleep the hospital because my son in because i have permits to remain in israel for just one day because when i leave i show them the medical records of the crossing and they let me pass into gaza this is not easy to come out of gaza it is not easy to be coordinated there is checkpoints there are procedures that israelis have and therefore we're not getting enough patience although there are thousands upon thousands of patients we need support and help. forty two year old pfizer was in her home preparing dinner for have family when her house was suddenly demolished upon i asked if she felt lucky to be outside of dallas or receiving an expert tree

. was situation in the gaza strip is an absolute disaster how can i feel like when my people are dying. over nine thousand palestinians have been injured in gaza getting medical treatment outside of its overstretched health system is like winning the lottery three year old young men abu jabber survived an attack on his family home in gaza as they gathered for the first night of the islamic festivals. and eighteen members family was wiped out leaving just this one child little yeah i mean still calls out for his favorite sibling his older sister he doesn't know she's being killed along with all the others a relative. has lived through six wars between the palestinians and israel. i do see either israel or the palestinians as winning we the citizens of the folder

for war everybody is a loser whoever thinks of peace is the true human being. these patients are lucky to have temporarily escaped gaza to receive the very best in medical treatment many are looking forward to returning to their families in gaza but awaiting them is a horrified and devastated community. r.t. . in the u.k. foreign office minister baroness warsi has resigned over the government's support of israeli actions calling it quote morally indefensible the move comes after a number of large demonstrations were held in the country against the offensive in gaza. now assessing public opinion. on the streets of britain israel's actions have been to be defined sitting there in the number right he says of course of israel but he'd been out numbered by pretty much just did you write. so many brits the conflict in gaza is hitting close to home the latest you gov poll shows

that almost two thirds of the british public sixty two percent believe that the israeli government is committing war crimes while overhaul five brits see israel's bombing of the gaza strip as unjustified now the u.k. media is on to mounting pressure to outline a more robust israel policy of three four weeks of pictures of dead children of families been reduced to nothing homes as rubble of course are to be the attitude that the people sought to take the british government i should be has been quite surprising in how how resistant it is towards criticizing israel david cameron i mean when he was opposition leader two thousand and six much more critical about the invasion of lebanon even when he came into power he was much more critical but this time it was a much more cautious response david cameron backed the un's condemnation of israel's shelling of a un school shelter in gaza as a moral outrage but stopped short of agreeing that it was a criminal act as

a strong pro is ready lobby it just so happens a lot of the rich donors of the tory party a more sympathetic towards israel than they don't understand these activists from london's palestine action group took a radical stand by scaling the grief of an israeli drone manufacturer in the midlands calling for a boycott of arms sales to israel britain has issued forty two million pounds worth of arms export licenses to israel and downing street spokesperson has said that those arms exports are now under review but ministers have resisted mounting calls to impose a blanket domes in bogo on israel saying that it would hinder progress in the middle east peace process. rail's military ambitions have given rise to take sentiment all across the globe with attacks regularly reported like this one here when a group of young jewish children traveling to school on the bus apparently a group of drunk youngsters stormed it shouting nazi slogans and threatened to cut

the throats of the children inside you get the full story right now what else are you dot com. and the us is holding back on the release of the cia's torture report the senate committee chairman says too much information has been censored by the intelligence agency and more time is certainly needed to get to the bottom of any wrongdoing so. deal with. a swarm of bees thwart a police raid on a massive kind of his farm just outside moscow all these stories and the rest of the world's top headlines offer a very short break. clean . zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of warmongering politicians. capturing people is this what do you do if they're innocent killing them easy we

reserve the right to kill any person anywhere any time. they can look to him but they come through a mental makes these things are very. politicians. a new kind of power of this technology that is very tempting. they just want to keep allowing saudi arabia qatar and iran to fund millions and millions of time. well for them building of mosques in this country where they may have them addresses where current we have one hundred thousand four to sixteen year old children who have been schooled in these madrassas which is encouraging complete non integration within the society.

though again it's artie international you may want to check your phone a russian i.t. company has just scuppered half a million phones around the world are infected with malware allowing them to be controlled remotely with everything from your banking passwords to your s.m.s. and text messages they could all be spied on my colleague neil harvey spoke with a member of the company that uncovered the security breach now do they feel like sort of imitating well known computers want to imitate through a well known company as they try to mimic through. deeds to well known our software applications and plugins and all sorts of this and i'm i right in thinking that it's not just kind of reading your phone it gives them quite a lot of kind of control over it at the same time yeah correct basically we get access to pretty much everything you have on your phone now or those criminals will

use it to mining about it. is quite easy to imagine there is the prime some pin interest in the least they could potentially use it through to do something more significant than just doing mining and i just wonder does that perhaps a good defense against this kind of. malware if you've got a very old fashioned the doesn't even connect to the internet then that this move your hundred percent secure would be your old phone engineer and activist jeremy zimmerman he believes that so many phones were infected well because they were already designed to be so. it is apparently the first time that we see on such a large scale a computer virus spreading on the so-called smart phones the real news here is the scale and the sophistication of this attack but by itself it is not really surprising there is very high responsibility from the manufacturers of the devices

whether it's the hardware of the software manufacturers in fact for the last two years there's been turning those book at computers into black boxes that we cannot open this closed ness of the device enables on one hand surveyance by government as we see with the n.s.a. revelations by it was snowden and on the other hand enabled this kind of attacks that the user cannot suspect and against the user cannot do anything i know of on our website right now from bad to worse at the fukushima plant aside sona discovers every road in one of the affected reactors melted at the height of the crisis that means it could now take much longer to decommission the plant. plus we've got pictures from a devastating earthquake in china the death toll continues to rise to get the images and stories in our invasion section of r.t.

child abduction for the township police department county. she is taught it's fine the much anticipated report of more than six thousand pages is expected to expose the brutal torture practice of the bush era acknowledged by president obama last week. we tortured some folks. we did some things that were contrary to our values. during that press conference however obama also defended the cia saying it was just doing its job u.s. journalist and historian douglas valentine told us the government's likely to keep dilly dallying with the report in order to hush up the ugly truth. well it's a low ball. legal and also psychological reasons for the administration to try and keep this is the narrow. undisclosed is

possible there are concerned about what will the american public think of this report so they're trying to contain the damage as most as much as possible basically along with would certainly constrain you only the new telling you ministrations mind is how can we do this in american people think we're responding to their their desires and their needs and of course you have to realize the government doesn't really care and it's going to continue to do all the things it wants to do anyway it's just going to try to make this report look like they have the interests of america is at heart quite straight to breaking news here and i'll see international reports claim clashes have erupted between protesters and police in central kiev apparently those still remaining on my down square attacked police and firefighters with projectiles trying to push them away from the area the

standoff began when city authorities tried to dismantle tents and barricades that have been there since antigovernment protests erupted back in november. iowa's sending plumes of think of black smoke all over the city center again these are the latest pictures with breaking news out of central kiev. next on the program on oxy international we take you backstage you get a backstage pass to watch t.v. in the very latest episode of news team. during a press briefing president barack obama said something very unusual and used a certain term you'll almost never hear from a government bureaucrat he told the audience that in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we america did some things that were wrong we did a whole lot of things that were right but we tortured some folks here it is a rare thing to hear someone in the white house admit to torturing people after

nine eleven but the question is why did he say this now please allow me to suspect first obama is the teleprompter master since he loves to read off a screen i doubt this was some sort of slip up this was probably done consciously but why well it always helps if you a look good by condemning the moral failings of previous presidents liberals and democrats love to hate bush so this could be subs kind of pandering or trying to look good by comparison headlines like obama condemns torture sounds nice and drown out the fact that he sure approves of shelling civilians in eastern ukraine if obama really does feel that the post nine eleven torture was a shameful part of american history that as the leader of the executive branch of the nation he could do a lot to punish those who did the torture then and prevent it from happening again in the future but if i do obama this is all just a bunch of sweet talk but that's just my opinion.
