subscribe to rock people are some good all rocky concert for just twelve euros fifty per month. israel carries out massive air strikes in gaza in response to hundreds of missiles being fired from the nk. also to come this hour in r.t. a new study finds that retired american soldiers who took part in the so-called war on terror are struggling to find basic housing and the u.k. prime minister theresa may say she is ready to establish a more productive relationship with moscow despite describing russia as a global threat and r.t. arabic panes of documents showing salaries and rewards islamic state terrorist received for warfare and acts of terror.

they welcome it's just gone three pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international. now israeli warplanes have unleashed a torrent of bombs hitting targets in gaza this came in retaliation for hundreds of missiles being fired from the enclave is the most intense escalation of hostilities in the region since twenty four to. africa is fixing. the. pearl. but the israeli military says it's destroyed over one hundred fifty targets including a ham ass intelligence center and also a t.v. station according to sources on the ground at least three palestinians were killed and many more were wounded israel in turn says it was only responding to heavy

shelling of its territory staged by militants in gaza reports say that israeli tanks are being deployed now to the gaza border in preparation for a potential ground offensive. but what you just saw there was the moment an anti-tank missile fired from garza hits an israeli bus five people were injured in that attack one of them seriously all together militants in gaza fired some four hundred missiles into israel around one hundred of those were intercepted some did hit residential areas killing one person and injuring another seventy reports a defense ahrens were heard again in southern israel on tuesday morning but the events of last night were preceded by a covert israeli raid that resulted in the deaths of seven palestinians including a local militant commander and israeli special forces colonel was also killed in that the professor of international or georgetown university told us the situation

in gaza is fragile. these attacks the israeli attacks is going to alienate the palestinian much further because anyone who would be injured road lose a dear one a loved one in these attacks would not harbor any good feelings for this or even the u.s. . administrations in general and particularly this one and this present president has been doing exactly what israel would want what israel considers its own interest chaos like this would lead to all kinds of unexpected things not in the best interest of the us on the long run and i think even in the rest and solace of the jewish people in israel and the israelis in general but this is something that only the future will determine or the recent escalation does come

soon after in gipp try to bring the two sides to the negotiating table and broker a truce egyptian intelligence hell separate talks with hamas and israel also in july the russian president hosted the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and also the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas working towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict was high on their agenda gideon levy there from the harris newspaper says that all that diplomatic work may not have been in day. we were so close to another deal and then israelis launching its secret units in special units to a secret operation in gaza and this operation fails when israel knows that we are just about to get some kind of another deal to sign some kind of another deal which will guarantee some kind of peaceful days or weeks or months or years and then

it goes wrong and then israelis killing seven palestinian warriors and one israeli coronel is killed and we are again in this vicious circle and then the hamas re eggs and proportionally it is very exact proportionately this vicious circle repeats itself again and again and it will repeat itself again and again until the problem of gaza would be so. new studies have found that u.s. soldiers who were part of the war on terror struggling to make ends meet they are facing great hardship and the veterans of previous generations is teleporting now reports. veterans are the favorite cause of pundits politicians and anyone else who wants to appear patriotic across america there is no shortage of support our troops bumper stickers flag waving and praise for the military remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation who gave their last breath in

a distant land fighting terror gave everything for family country god and freedom or you our respect our veterans are a national treasure their sacrifice will not be in vain but all that bombastic praise an expression of gratitude doesn't exactly translate to a good life studies show that veterans of the war on terror are among the least likely to be able to afford a home once they return to the united states that's right those who've risked their lives in conflicts around the world are among those who struggle the most for basic needs like shelter with housing obviously veterans are going to space you know a whole host of related challenges combined with all the ways employment to legal situation to is but the general perception among the population when you have twenty thousand veterans suicides a day is it better make particularly good employees i'm tempted to say stones in a proud p.t.s.d. and in combat but it's really so much deeper than that in

a big part of what my generation of veterans is based need in the united states day particularly unique combination of mental health issues that come out of the nature of the occupations of iraq and instagram and the treaty that we get from the v.a. is i have experienced myself where the bush hillsborough then x. will affect the returns the trauma suffered by many veterans takes its toll on all of society just recently a former u.s. marine gunned down twelve people want to california bar here or you heard it maybe suffer from p.t.s.d. to crisis. and i thought that was i don't understand i was part of this. question one the deputies went out to the call with the crisis team that felt he might be suffering from p.t.s.d. facing that the fact he was a veteran has been a core the war on terror has had a massive humanitarian cost the latest study puts the death toll at around five hundred thousand half a million but the authors of the study admit that it's actually much larger an

additional large number of people have died in these wars by indirect means researchers suggest that in recent conflicts for every one direct death there are at least four other indirect deaths not surprisingly among veterans many are starting to ask is all this bloodshed really helping a lot of veterans and we know are starting to understand this these wars was fundamentally illegitimate that the stack of spices the need were not made just inventing but not even in a righteous cause but who are the perpetuation of the current system of governance of status in the middle of winter throughout the world where people in charge get to treat people who aren't like broccoli the perception of the wars in iraq and afghanistan has definitely changed over time you're in the united states i think just. a matter of going oh yeah we get it now that we were lied to that we were taking advantage of it as

a people so badly and being convinced to support these invasions and occupations many americans feel that during the vietnam war big mistakes were made and how veterans were treated that's why we see a huge amount of flagwaving and support for military families every time there's a pentagon intervention sense that however at this point a lot of americans are starting to ask if supporting the troops is really just about flags and bumper stickers a lot of americans are wondering if supporting the troops means that maybe we should be more cautious about sending them into harm's way so routinely and if we should be maybe more concerned about giving them a decent life once they return from conflict kaleb up and r.t. new york. now singapore is hosting the thirty third annual athey and summit which world leaders exchanged views of regional and international concern china says it is looking to upgrade its positions while at a mere putin is making his first appearance in singapore you could desire of has more now on the russian president's visit and also the summits agenda as

a whole. lattimer put in his ear in singapore and while his official program is set to start only on wednesday he's already kicked off some of the events he had planned on the margins of the summit like for example meeting with the singapore and counterpart of another big thing everybody is kind of looking out for here is the fate of the so-called regional comprehensive economic agreement now if that comes into fruition you could see this stablish mint of the world's largest ever free trade zone because the sixteen countries it seeks to unite they all together make up with a total of a third of global g.d.p. it is being pushed forward by china it is the main spearheading force but it also does have some opposition some skeptics like for example india doesn't want to cut back on its import tariffs they say their economy benefits greatly from them and so that's why some analysts are saying that it is really unlikely that the deal that the pact will be signed here in singapore but well it's

a good platform for those countries to sit down and resolve the least some of the differences another thing also kind of all revolving around china is bending more city between beijing and washington you can see the two countries are literally at each other's throats over many many things for example china wants the united states to stop conducting military drills in the south china sea and washington just flat out ignores that washington made an arms deal with taiwan that did not sit well with china either and of course there's a trade war that donald trump launched against china and so with both leaders with both that she jingping and donald trump not attending the summit these differences aren't going to go anywhere other nations who are present here they're concerned that they will have to pick sides between the regional powerhouse and the nation that sees itself as the globally dominant power things can get even worse because the man that the united states decided to send here as their ambassador is mike

pence and he did not mince. words when it came to china china has initiated an unprecedented effort to influence american public opinion the two thousand and eighteen elections and the environment leading into the twenty twenty presidential elections china wants a different american president he's remarks have been compared to those major in the cold war between the united states and then the soviet union so it doesn't really look like that the whole animosity between beijing and washington will die down any time soon. now the british prime minister says she wants better relations with moscow in the same speech though delivered in london treason may describe russia as a global threat adding that any improvement in ties is conditional we remain open to a different relationship one where russia desist from these attacks that undermine

international treaties and international security and we hope that the russian state chooses to take this path if it does we will respond in kind this all comes against the backdrop of a year of degraded relations between the u.k. and russia especially in the wake of the incident in salzburg which source the former double agent and his daughter a union poisoned with the substance thought to be no rich and of course in the wake of that incident the u.k. government laid the blame squarely at the feet of the russian government who in turn denied any involvement in it whatsoever and offered to help in the investigation that offer which was rebuffed by u.k. or thorough and the reason may again repeating in the course of her speech that she held the russian state responsible for what happened to the script we could not turn a blind eye to the threats we face. this is open economies and free societies

we needed to increase our collective resolve to tackle the most pressing lee those threats emanating from russia now last year to reason they also gave a speech to the lord mayors and created a tradition for the prime minister to address the events every year and not occasion she too took aim at russia although then she was accusing the russian government of involvement in meddling and hacking into a number of elections in western countries sustained campaign of cyber espionage and disruption this is included meddling in elections and hacking the danish ministry of defense and the put them to stark among many others it is seeking to weaponize information now it remains to be seen whether this year's speech will result in better relations between the two countries there are some who are skeptical and say about to resume a speech focused squarely on russia and put the onus for

a more open relationship on their shoulders and have no mention of issues of concern to russia like the ongoing expansion of nato towards russian borders things like nato troops taking shape and carrying out exercises in places like poland until all of those concerns are also addressed perhaps somewhat skeptical to think that vis speech could lead to better relations between the two sides he certainly there will be discussed reason made from mark smith the political analyst john white and also the u.k. independence party any pain david kopel. our reaching out to russia was in the form of a mother there eating out a constitution child then promising said cheryl that it will be forgiven if it was to change its ways this is not the way to effect an approach more with any country and less western governments start to see the world through russia's eyes and understand how russia sees things then there will be no meeting of minds and this will just go into the box marked internet or western governments must start to

learn sooner rather than later and that they must also listen as well as speak we should be diverted to to make keep friendship with russia and make sure that the three were appropriately bought in the future rather than make things more difficult we should try and try and lose all these things that quietly without shaking a big state why we need to be more sensible and now these are larger we need to do trade with russia if you do that that's the way to to move forward quite talking is probably better than uncertainty to get to know how much to isolate terrorists get the paper losses to channel r.t. arabic has obtained documents detailing rewards and cash will have a look at that just after the break.

that whole russia gate hoax never got any traction then no prob but it's great troll bay and i think trump is pleased that he increased seats in the senate and he'll get barking mad nancy pelosi hitting the russia gave them every single day which will drive ratings for rachel maddow but it will do nothing to help them win twenty. what. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want. to go right to be close this is what before three of the people. interested

in the water. pressure. on you with our record numbers of french police offices of committing suicide the latest victim is a prominent campaigner for offices welfare get more do we get more details now from a shot at the b.b.c. he's in paris for a show that just run through then why this case is attracted so much attention. well this show in france because this individual is seen as being or having been a leading voice in the. yes in the movement of police against the attacks that offices have been going over the last few years she was a woman called maggie biskup ski and she was actually the founder of the movement

now the reports here in front suggest that she took her own life in the last day using her service weapon and she was found dead at home with a note nearby and that death now is being treated as a suicide here in france but why was she so important well the thirty six year old was actually also the founding member of the mobilization of angry policeman this was a group that was set up back in two thousand and sixteen after police officers received a massive attack they were attacked with protesters with molotov cocktails and in fact two individuals the police officers were severely burned with others being injured as a result of that attack as well now she has also been under investigation over the last year what she described as speaking out to the media about attacks against the police without permission from senior officers from the police service now police suicide as you mentioned is

a burning issue here in france with the statistics showing just how incredibly high it is for this particular profession now those statistics show that in july this is the latest it is sticks should that for this year nineteen police officers and sixteen had taken their lives that was back in july in two thousand and seventeen more than sixty police officers took their lives now it's such a burning issue that the government did launch a plan to tackle this earlier this year saying that they want to do more to help people realize if their colleagues needed support but there was criticism that that plan didn't go far enough well there's been a lot of reaction on social media today to news of that death including from senior politicians such as the interior minister and the leader of the national rally. i was embarrassed to yawn with the codes of few days ago. must not end here i hear

the anger of the police and we are responding concretely with more effective measures and more resources on the ground the serious side of. president of the member of and group of these officers association is a terrible symbol of the police suffering she's so dire slow denounced this suffering to care and it's a big shock for all of us. well we've spoken to many police officers over the last year or so who've talked to us about some of the issues that they face some of the abuse some of the attacks that they face in fact one police officer we spoke to in the last six months said that as a result of that piece they had actually considered taking their own lives let's look back now at some of the most serious attacks that offices have faced here in france. i.

am. well that shock and grief is now being expressed on social media networks many people just saying they cannot believe that this leading voice in this fight against violence against the police has suddenly now had her voice diminished and they say that they want more to be done quicker and more immediately to make sure that no more offices feel like they need to take their lifes. ok thank you charlotte there charlotte been ski for us there empowers. our sister channel r.t. arabic has obtained documents detailing money in rewards paid by islamic state to

its militants for example almost two hundred dollars for the capture of anyone being to be an infidel and fourteen hundred for destroying a tank showing that eyesore terrorists were not just motivated by ideology.
