broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international thomas really good to have you with us. after a mass a day of massive airstrikes on hamas positions in gaza by the israeli air force both sides have agreed to a cease fire this is according to a spokesman or he's possibly or has details on how the attacks unfold. there have been a massive air strike some of the biggest since the last war back in two thousand and fourteen earlier we did hear from the country's defense minister avigdor lieberman he threatened a large and painful military operation he said that israel would go to if the kind of beliefs that are constantly flown from gaza into israel and has been for the past few weeks do not cease now the deadline given was friday afternoon and of course that deadline has passed because it's continued and that again will be a contributory reason as to why we've witnessing this flare up in violence israeli army has threatened that it will respond harshly and it continues to blame her

musts for the flare up in violence the i.d.f. use today the whole store activity is treated by hamas throughout the last month with great severity hamas chose to skule the security situation and move the consequences for its actions israeli civilians who live along the gaza border have been ordered to remain near bomb shelters at the same time the hamas military wing has been evacuating military posts as well as commandos in anticipation that there will be an even stronger response from the israeli side earlier in the week there was a massive israeli air strike the biggest since the two thousand and fourteen war and that followed the country's prime minister benjamin netanyahu threatening that he would strike back at home us during the sabbath we hit hard our policy is clear when anyone seeks to harm us we will strike back with great force as i mentioned earlier the last time we saw such a flare up in violence was back in two thousand and fourteen operation tricked

which started roughly round about now and that was a war there witnessed more than two thousand palestinians killed and saw some seventy three is. civilians dying so of course the situation on the ground is extremely tense there's a lot of concern that we could be witnessing another full frontal confrontation another four palestinians were killed on friday and more than one hundred twenty injured and the total number of those killed since the start of the great margin return protests is now more than one hundred thirty the i.d.f. claims an israeli soldier also died during the clashes local journalist and has more from the israel gaza border nearly one hundred fifty meters away from carney the fence and as you see the palestinian youths protesters are describing and expressing expressing their rage by climbing this fans i have to say that this is one of the hardest days we have been covering. the protests on weekly basis for

than five months and this is one of the hardest days today we saw explosions on both sides scores were injured have been also hearing airstrikes are tethered reached our teller reach targets we have been also hearing explosions on the both sides and today is a very very hard day it's very dangerous and this was one of the toughest days we have ever witnessed by live ammunition here guys airstrikes and a lot to know lots of more weapons the israelis have been using against the palestinians to friends and political commentator amir oren and the former director of the palestinian non-governmental organisation network moshe and ramadan shared their views on the recent conflict. hundreds of palestinians if you accumulate the numbers have either died or been injured at the demonstrations but this is not happened because israel has used force. to the contrary israel

only reacted and israel tried to keep the entire border quiet it is not in its interest to try and repair hundred. number of but the scene and war show did the from that is that you disorder does without any dangers. from them to theirs or you to sirte it just isn't slogans and it is being voices and asking the international community to work to brush up to to intercede and get of movement and promote it as to the buddhist senior to live as normal people. you might be and live in. the dust not even settled on the trump putin summit in helsinki the us president has stirred it all up yet again announcing he is inviting his russian counterpart to washington later in the year second meeting potentially with with your putin. is that in

the works is it planned has it and you know i would say it's in the works we had a tremendous discussion on many things but fact is we get along very well i think i have a good relationship with you. all right so far the kremlin has neither accepted nor rejected the invitation the decision to invite putin has once again sparked outrage in the media. demand that even president trump now says interfered in u.s. democracy invited to the white house and now the president has apparently doubled down he's been biting him to washington so let's collude again that we did last top spy in the united states he doesn't know how is that possible that the president of the united states is inviting putin for a second summit in a couple of months in the fall over at the white house because the president he works for is donald trump white house press secretary serious and is confirmed the

invitation on twitter. in helsinki president of the united states agreed to go in working level dialogue between the two security council staffs president trump asked john bolton to invite president putin to washington in the fall and those discussions already on the way we have the announcement from sarah huckabee sanders the white house press secretary this comes in the aftermath of quite a bit of media hysteria in response to donald trump's a meeting in helsinki with the russian president if you look at time magazine or the new yorker there's been quite a bit of hysteria in u.s. media now in recent comments the russian president has actually warned the world about the hysteria in the us media and about you know forces that would push false narratives about the meeting in helsinki to advance their own political gain. there are forces in the us ready to easily sacrifice russia u.s. relations for their political ambitions a satirical novelist once wrote about these sorts of people as beautiful and

pathetic but these people who are pitiful nor pathetic on the contrary they're pretty powerful if they can fool sfi the. stories to millions of the citizens and they count in the aftermath of the helsinki meeting which took place on monday we've seen quite a bit of shifts and changes in how the us president has described that meeting his explanation and assessment of events seems to go back and forth they have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be and should have been i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative he would agree with us intelligence that. russia meddled in the election twenty sixteen i would say that that is true but you haven't condemned putin specifically do you hold him personally responsible well i would because he's

in charge of the country getting along with president putin getting along with russia is a positive not a negative if that doesn't work out i'll be the worst enemy he's ever had the worst he's ever had so this new announcement that trump is indeed planning to invite the president of russia to the united states to the white house for another meeting it fits in with a recent tweet from from he said he was looking forward to a second meeting with the russian president but many people are wondering what will happen next as trump seems to have gone back and forth and as trump faces widespread media hysteria and criticism for the fact that he met with the russian head of state. british police have confirmed charlie rally one of the two victims exposed to the no bitch of a nerve agent in amesbury has been released from the hospital his partner don sturgis died there earlier this month and he's only boyko has more. charlie rowley is the man who along with his partner dawn sturgis was exposed to novacek in the

village of amesbury which is close to souls' berry back on the thirtieth of june and they were both very ill they were taken to cells bre district hospital which happens to be the same hospital where scrip powell and his daughter junia were treated for exposure to the same agent back in march charlie rowley's partner dawn sturgis died as a result of this incident on the eighth of july and although he had been in a critical state in hospital for a number of weeks the hospital has now announced that he is well enough to go home and that he's been discharged doctors district hospital released a statement saying that charlie has been through an appalling experience that most of us could never imagine but this marks an important milestone in his recovery and they wish him all the best it also goes on to thank the clinical team wherever vice two local residents remains unchanged and that is do not pick up any items such as

syringes needles cost medics all similar objects made of plastic metal there is clearly still a degree of mystery about how charlie rose lee and his partner just became exposed to the nerve agent in the first place a week ago the metropolitan police confirmed that they had found a small bottle that they believe was the source of the contamination and that appears to correspond to interviews that charlie rowley's brother has given to the media saying that when he visited charlie rowley in hospital he had said that he seemed to recall giving his partner a small bottle just before they became very well whether or not that bottle was the source of the nerve agent used to attack the script piles or whether it was from the same batch is still very much unclear. and in recent days there's been intense speculation in the u.k.

media about the investigation into that original attack on the script pal's leaks from the police probe claim that investigators have used c.c.t.v. images to identify two russian culprits who allegedly fled the u.k. immediately after the attack on the square piles but there hasn't been any official statements from the police air or from the all storage sees to back that up in fact the u.k.'s security minister ben wallace has dismissed those leaks about these alleged perpetrators being identified as ill informed and wild speculation. by the bodies of more than twelve hundred civilians in the majority of them women and children have been found in three mass graves in the syrian city of rockabye a local authorities is claimed they were killed during the bombing of the area by a u.s. led coalition forces are too easy gorged on us has commentary. tobar will mark

exactly one year since i saw defeat in their caliphate self-proclaimed capital rocker and months after the u.s. coalition's victory restored or freed of torment the syrian city is still not these are the latest pictures from one of three recently discovered mars graves these birrell sites contain more than a thousand bodies. and there are three hundred to four hundred bodies in this mass grave three to four catacombs are completely full of did bodies grief and despair still has the syrian city reeling as relatives time and time again have to identify their loved ones. excluded the body of only one of my sisters the other four remain missing. as they were burned by my uncle now we're looking for the uncle to call to find them. but the majority of the bodies are civilians mostly women and children

our team works twenty four hours a day whether a civilian or a fighter we give the body a number well this number is over a thousand down and that's just to the three recently discovered mass graves it's a race against time and they're ready to earn their more time passes the harder it is to identify the bodies as they rot in the ground nameless families help us identify the civilians by telling us what the person was wearing were by describing a ring or watch where a tattooed why didn't define a lot of bodies through the hair because it doesn't disintegrate and mass graves of raka highlight not only ice olds monstrosity but also what rights groups call america's denial in its responsibility for the city's tragedy the coalition has acknowledged a mere twenty three civilian deaths resulting from the more than thirty thousand or three rounds and third rule thousand strikes it is. since a rock

a city the blustery didn't or as a contradicted by the lived reality of the hundreds of civilians there even contradicted by their own partners on the ground looking at these pictures nine months on it's hard to see any real recovery from the post-war horror at all it's even difficult to tell them apart and just in case these were taking only a couple of months ago and these are back from two thousand and seventeen u.s. led forces came pounded the city with some thirty thousand artillery rounds proclaim victory and then washington apparently chose to simply forget rocca the u.s. coalition caused the destruction of records and has a responsibility to rebuild the city we need to help with restoring the water supply in clearing the rubble that was the second watch and we were directly targeted by the coalition after the recognizance craft filmed us it was

a low altitude it was very clear there were no terrorists in the area but there were kids playing in the streets and we were collecting water and i knew little but i knew that if the aircraft bomb using phosphorus it targets everyone it is not hidden i still the coalition is boman brendan lee if you're sitting at home a bomb may come down on you there are houses that collapsed on their residence and they couldn't get out all this happened because of the aircraft the city decayed bodies decomposed there's even no estimates on how many more musgrave's are still to be found houses of people who were killed your. city. maybe were buried asked to leave but also many remain in the rubble or at least in mass graves each one has to be dozens to hundreds of bodies and industry are too big such as.
