he warns mr. kerry and the united nations here to reinspect votes from 11,000 ballot boxes, more than half the votes. the u.n. envoy here said that his suggestion is at least 8,000 ballot boxes should be respected. that's about 3 million votes. there's still quite a number of disputes to be resolved. more importantly mr. kerry would have to create a climate of trust where they could sit and work together. he's meeting president karzai who's another crucial personality in terms of finding a possible solution to this problem. as we speak, supporters of both candidates are putting up the posters of both candidates across the country and calling them the elected presidents of afghanistan. they have indeed confused the ordinary afghans. this deadlock has brought businesses to a stand still, created a lot of concern among ordinary people across the country. >>> the death of two palestinians in the israeli air raid in gaza has brought the total number killed to 100 in four days. another five were killed overni

>> mr. kerryeed met with for him saying he's for inspection and there should be a power audit. that should determine allegations of fraud. he went on to meet president karzai. he'll meet abdullah abdullah as well and the country's interior minister. mr. kerry has the credentials of a troubleshooter. he was here in 2009 when he was a u.s. senator and in fact flayed a cruel rule in resolving the dispute then. after all americans have l leverage in afghanistan. 30,000 troops are on the ground. afghan politicians understand that the americans are needed if afghanistan is not to go back to the days of civil war and any sort of scenario where the taliban or insurgents could take over parts of the country. >> that's the thing. american words from mr. kerry pretty strong. saying it's a critical moment in the country. he's saying the political transition hangs in the balance. that's s that the way afghans see it? do they fear if this gets out of land, the whole thing could unravel? >> i think there's a ver

so it will require mr. kerry get on a plane again and see what he can do to try to get the egyptians to exercise some constraints on israeli actions and by the way, most likely for mr. netanyahu to get a call from mr. kerry to basically find exactly what his mission is and get out as requesticly as possible. >> you can see the explosions going on in gaza. ambassador mark ginsburg on a very busy news day across the globe. our coverage on the israeli ground invasion and the plane crash continues right now with alex wagner. >> we are awaiting a press conference from malaysia airlines on breaking news. a malaysia airlines passenger plane with 295 people onboard has gone down near the border with russia. there are unconfirmed reports that it was shot down. let us start with what we know. just before noon on the east coast, malaysia airlines announced it had lost contact with the boeing 777 malaysia airlines mh17 to kuala lumpur. we have new, dramatic video, unconfirmed from nbc, but reportedly from the crash scene sho

he must response today to mr. kerryell him yes, he accepts the egyptian initiative with the additions made by mr. kerry after his investigations that a cease-fire should be starting tonight and that in the next few days agreements should be reached to really end the siege of gaza and proceed to a normal and safe life for the palestinian people in gaza. this is really what's on mr. netanyahu's table. and this is what we are waiting a response for. this is a proposal that all the palestinians and mr. mahmoud abbas and the palestinian authority are backing. and you could see that the palestinians, the west bank, are all really united behind this cease-fire and its effect and it's mr. netanyahu's call to say yes tonight. >> basically, what i think i heard from the israeli minister of intelligence is they're ready for a cease-fire, but they don't like these new conditions that have been attached to the initial egyptian proposal. i'm not exactly sure what those new conditions are. maybe you could tell our viewers what else wo

pollution and no i will leave them to stay current a comment on your latter point of the month to say to mr kerry you have a car is on the docket no god. thank you no more weasel words when you have a direct question are you prepared for a chase when you and her son should be ready for a little upstaged and let her down the freedom to. live. live live. live live. live. in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. to live. i. am. breaking news an r.t. international russia's foreign ministry vows a strong reaction after a shell fired from ukraine kills a russian citizen in the rostov region near the border with ukraine ukraine denies any responsibility for the attack. hello there the latest developments and a look back at the last seven days you were watching the weekly here on r.t. and we start with breaking news a russian citizen has been killed when a shell fired from ukraine struck the yards of private hands.

and mr. kerry months ago tried to find a window through the negotiations in order to meet our target, to live without the incubation, to reap our states. netanyahu has killed our hope, killed our dream. and he killed the american initiative. >> rose: but the egyptians had a cease-fire proposal which the israelis accepted and you didn't, yes? >> yes, we did not agree for two reasons. the first reason because this initiative does not lift the siege. it starts with the cease-fire. and then the subject up to negotiating that we don't know the outcome with. we know the approximation as follows. the other thing is as follows. the egyptians did not console, did not open a dialogue with the palestinian factions in gaza. however in the past, we managed with the egyptians a number of maneuvers. we have actually reached a truce. -- was released and so on and so forth but now the method was wrong. that why it has failed. >> rose: but here is what many people believe, that regard its before the israeli rocket c

i've just heard mr. kerryk about the ukrainian thing and stating that the ukrainians have shown -- displayed apaling disregard for human decency. i wonder how much disregard for human decency have israelis shown in gaza? >> sir, the palestinian authority proposed a 24-hour cease-fire. hamas has rejected that. do you believe that hamas truly wants peace? and talk to me about the tunnels from gaza into israel. what are they for if not to infiltrate and tarring civilians? >> well, hamas is in fact not the target of the israeli bombing. the israeli bombings targeting civilians, it's targeting the people of gaza, and no doubt these civilians need a chance to survive and to live descently. you've just destroyed all the power station in gaza and hospitals have been destroyed all over the place, and, therefore, yes, we want a cease-fire, the palestinian people are for a cease-fire that at least guarantees them a chance of surviving and living after a cease-fire is achieved. we want no more israeli seige and destructio

and i believe at the end of the day, you know what mr. kerry, what secretary kerry did today is something that people should look at very carefully and acknowledge very careful ly. what we need is a cease-fire immediately, an immediate mutual cease-fire in order to begin the process of the deescalation, deacconfliction deconfliction, and then once and for all, to go again to try to see how we end this israeli occupation once and for all how we end the conflict, how we establish a palestinian state to live side by side. >> what does the word intifada mine to y mean to you when you hear the word? >> it means to me people will stand up. people are saying and people will be saying that saeb erekat, chief negotiator didn't bring us anything in the 20 years of negotiations. israeli dictations and settlement activities and failed to complete policies and the only way we can achieve our freedom and dependence is going to be through us taking our hand, resisting the occupation, and that's what it means. that what it means because failure, failure at the

>> well, i think this is -- as we spoke to mr. kerryrday, i think at this stage what you need to do is you get the children out, you put the fire out, then you discuss things because the gaza situation must be handled, the end of occupation, and that's where these things will be discussed. this particular moment, the fire is eating up everything. we must extinguish this fire. and that should be the focus. i don't think it's a problem for israel to announce that it will open its passages and it will lift the siege. matched with the human cease-fire. >> saeb erakat. we're with you. let's hope that there is a cease-fire and hopes that it comes very soon. i know you and president abbas are working as hard as you can to achieve that. i'll continue this conversation tomorrow night. more news right after this. ow w? fine barbecue, good times and zero heart burn. and that's why i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heart burn because it gives me zero heart burn. prilosec otc the number one dr. recomended frequent heart burn medicine

. >> mr. kerryfind a window through the negotiations in order to meet our target, to reach our state. >> on monday, prime minister netanyahu vowed operations would continue until the tunnels from gaza into israel were destroyed. he told cnn's candy crowley he was opening to easing conditions in gaza but only if hamas was unarmed. >> you can't get the relief without is short demileterization. >> elise, thanks very much. i want to show the viewers what's going on over gaza city right now. we've been showing these images for the past nearly two hours. israeli flares have been illuminating the skies. you hear the sounds of israeli drones flying over gaza city right now. you see a lot of smoke, a lack of pow near the major parts of gaza city right now. i don't know if the power generators have stopped working or if there are objections to kill some of the power in gaza city. what do you think -- you know, i'm here, in israel. the criticism of john kerry, if you read the israeli newspapers, is very intens

mr. kerryd they could gain political mentum -- momentum, this is a very unsettling situation, especially for the people in gaza. situation ise going. >> all right, tonya cramer on the line, thank you so much, from jerusalem. in libyaeath toll continues to climb amid some of the worst fighting and the outing -- ousting of moral market. be. a say at least 100 people have been killed in the eastern city of benghazi and the libyan capital of tripoli. there, rival militants have been battling for weeks for control of the airport. other nations, including the united states and turkey, to move their diplomatic staff to safety. they are now telling all citizens to leave. and militants from boko haram the apparently attacked offices of the deputies prime minister and kidnapped his wife. several people were kidnapped, which took place in the country's north. they say the prime minister escaped alive. boko haram again hitting targets in northern cameroon after they had a crack down on the group's activity

how do you respond to what mr. kerry was saying?> first of all, i'm sure when we meet him we'll tell him directly. but i've been in the military. anyone who has been in the military knows that war is a terrible thing. combat is horrific. combat is organized madness in many ways. now we are making the framework of a combat situation every possible effort to keep innocent civilians out of harm's way. that is our goal. we are trying to be as surgical as possible in a difficult and complex combat environment and hamas is doing the opposite. they are not only shooting their rockets indiskrim innocently they have adopted a deliberate policy to endanger palestinian civilians. the u.n. itself a few days ago released information that hamas was storing its missiles in a u.n. school. now, what does that say? they are using a u.n. facility and a school to store their military machine and when they embed their tunnels in homes, neighborhoods, mosques, and schools. we have to take out those targets and we do so as surgically as we can, being very

official website of russia's support ministry worried that this conversation between mr lavrov and mr kerry was very onerous and very open the two top diplomats agreed that all the evidence from the downed malaysian airplane including flight recorders so-called black boxes should be made available for the international investigation that both parties stressed should be independent and biased and transparent and also that the international experts should be given access to work freely on the ground also love rob and kerry stress that the ukrainian conflict has no military solution and should be resolved peacefully and they pledged to use influence on all the sides to be involved in this. long protracted conflict to achieve this goal. coming up here on our team international the people of dallas are facing the bloody consequences of israel's dramatic escalation hospitals are overflowed with civilian victims one in five among them is a child after the break we report on the project conflict where the death toll has now reached three hundred and twenty we also have more on the devastating thing

everything he could as prime minister of israel to destroy the last opportunity of peace talks when mr. kerry took his initiative. and i think many american officials admit already that israel spoiled the very last opportunity of peace negotiations. >> thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> and still ahead. strained relationship as second case of u.s. spying in germany. what german investigators are saying about the situation. >>> and sex on campus, why federal lawmakers are getting involved. >> for the second time in a week, german officials are looking into a situation of spying, involving the united states. the man under investigation worked at germany's defense minuteministry. the two cases are fueling tensions between the countries. the german government saysists investigating but is not revealing more details. >>> a new revelation tonight on spying and prying here in the u.s. accusing the u.s. of secretly investigating prominent muslim americans. john terret joins us. these are explosive allegations here. >> they are jonathan, that's absolutely right. we have known haven't we

mr kerry has been clear saying that 10,000 is too much. well, if that is what he is saying, where - i think to compromise, i don't know. >> remember, also, iran is a revolutionary country, within the united states. mr hassan rouhani calls himself a revolutionary, not a diplomat. he was the guy who actually came out and put the secret talks on the table. >> let me ask you this: what does a solid nuclear agreement look like? >> the silent - that iran gets an enrichment programme that provides the fuel needed and the united states get a deal that will make iran - for iran impossible to build a bomb. that is a good deal. no bomb. but enrichment programme capable of fuelling at least one nuclear plant. that's where they cannot agree. the problem is they can't trust each other. you have a revolution between the two countries, that never trusted, like the united states, which have never liked the revolution. with all due respect, i like him a lot, and i trust him a lot. and i know he's a scholar. i don't think you can lock out the lack of tru.. i

mr. kerry months ago tried to find a window through the negotiations to meet our target to live without occupation and reach our states. netherlands netherlandsbenjamin netanyahu killed our dream and american initiative. we are not fanatics we are not fundamentalists. we are not actually fight the jews because they are jews per se, we do not fight any other races. we fight the occupiers. on the contrary we respect the religious people. we ask for tolerance for coexistence. and the jews and the christians and the muslims, god's created us as nations. and we are different. and the quran says that to coexist together. >> i think i heard you say and we'll close on this. you believe in the coexistence of peoples and therefore you believe in the coexistence of palestinians and israelis in the middle east? >> i cannot coexist with the word occupation. i'm ready to coexist with the jews with the christians and the arabs and non-arabs and those who agree with my ideas and i disagree with them. however,

mr kerry has been clear, saying that 10,000 is too much. er that iran is a revolutionary company. between the united states and iran stands a revolution. mr hassan rouhani calls himself a revolutionary, not a diplomat. >> what does a solid nuclear agreement look like? >> that iran would get an enrichment programme, that in seven years it has the fuel it needs, and the united states cabinet a deal that would make - for iran impossible to build a bomb. that's a good deal. with all due respect to my friend. i know he's a great scholar, i don't think you can wash out the lack of trust issue, which is the issue. i have spent almost seven years in that relationship, and the lack of mutual lack of trust always came up. i don't believe that moving forward in the next four months, that it would develop trust. they could have another 10 months. they come 10 months or five months or four months down the road and sit here on al jazeera and talk about it. you cap see i was right. >> with -- you can see i was right. >> your thoughts. >> with questions of

government that's committed to settling the west bank, and it has blown off the united states, with mr. kerry. members of the israeli cabinet insulted him, saying that he had a messiah complex, and would he leave them alone, and they were clear that they weren't interested in the negotiations. but if the united states can do one thing, if they can stop vetoing the security council negotiations with international law, and if the united states would back off, israel would be sanctioned. >> it makes you wonder if the focus should be on other international act,. saudi arabia, and turkey and maybe they can step forward and put leverage on two sides. >> oh, no. all of those countries you just mentioned i have to say are worse than the united states in having their own dogs in the fight. >> okay, juan, thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> and morgan, back to you. >> thank you, jonathan. we end tonight, two images that really caught our eye. tonight's freeze frame comes from the conflict in the middle east, where a surge of attacks took place between the israelis and the palestinians. sirens bla

>> they should tell us why they broke the peace efforts made by mr. kerry. was no fire at that time. there was no war at that time. prime minister netanyahu had every possibility and chance to conclude a peace deal that would have led to ending the close of the conflict. >> how can the palestinians ever truly negotiate with israel or for any other country for that matter with two different groups, the west bank and gaza, led by two different groups of leaders, that they can't agree on who should be paid a satisfactorily? who would be expected to negotiate with that two headed entity? how can palestinians really truly negotiate with israel as one voice? >> you are absolutely right. we should have a unified voice and that's why we concluded the agreement. i was part of that agreement. and now by attacking gaza, he's creating more hatred and more problems. it's prime minister netanyahu is personally responsible for that. when we are divided, he says i cannot make peace with palestinians because nobody represents them all and they are divide scpd when we are uni

the israeli prime minister had earlier asked mr. kerry to lift the ban that led to carriers from the other countries imposing their own suspensions. bethany bell is at ben gurion. >> the airport is open. just we were told there are a number of flights still going in and out. we were told by an airport spokesman a few minutes ago that there are 50% fewer flights here at the moment. among the airlines still flying in, british airways, royal jordanian, the israeli carrier el al. and the mood here among the people i've been speaking to, we have been speaking to, it is fairly relaxed. people talking about, you know, annoyance that they have been delayed, but people here saying that they're not that concerned. now, the israeli aviation authority has said that ben gurion is safe for takeoff and landing. but clearly there is a great deal of concern among certainly u.s. air carriers and other european ones like lufthansa because of this rocket which fell about a mile away from here yesterday and given what happened in ukraine, i think there is a s

mr. kerry will discuss the latest on the downing of flight 17, the israeli gaza conflict, and the extension of the nuclear talks with iran. check your local listing. >>> president obama taking new tact to try and stem the flood of illegal immigrants in central america, planning a big meeting. when he has that meeting, he will be sitting down with leaders of those countries from where these immigrants are coming. meantime, congress prepared to act on the emergency funding request before they wrap up for the summer. our political panel will weigh in on what we can expect on the continuing immigration crisis. plus, he went on a journey of a lifetime. tragically it took a deadly turn for this new york stockbroker. we will fill you in when we come back. ji9 >>> the bottom of the hour. time for the top of the news. the remains of an american man has been found in two trash bags in mexico. he quit his finance job to ride his motorcycle throughout latin america. six months ago they say he sent a text t

lavrov denied that was taking place, mr. kerry didn't accept that denial. diplomatic pressure to stop the russians. the state department releasing satellite images of what it says is evidence of russian military forces firing on ukrainian positions from within russian territory. russian officials deny they're doing so. they say the pictures and attempt is a smear campaign against russia by the west. molly, back to you. >> thank you, steve, from the ukraine. appreciate you keeping us up on the conflict and diplomatic efforts as well. >>> the first relatives to visit the crash site are coming from australia. this couple placing a wreath of flowers for their 25-year-old daughter who was on board and whose remains weren't yet recovered. >> we cried a lot. that's why we promised her the first thing when we heard this, we said how could she survive this. we promised our daughter we will come here. actually as soon as possible, there was a time factor, yeah. we should have come here the minute it happened. the next day. >> those parents also went to the netherland

mr. kerry said while steps forward have been made, there is still work to be done., israel has called for the resumption of flights to ben gurion international airport in tel aviv. this is after u.s. and european airlines suspended services. benjamin netanyahu asked the u.s. secretary of state john kerry to help restore the flights. the u.s. central aviation authority introduced the 24-hour ban as a security measure. this is after a rocket from gaza landed near the airport injuring two people. more than 80 flights have been canceled. >>> and in a newt few minutes we'll hear from the british pilots association, which is raising concerns at the moment about the possible risks of flying over some countries. so stay with us for that. >>> now, to syria, in recent days we're seeing some of the deadliest fighting since the conflict began three years ago. activists say 700 people were killed in two days alone last week as government forces fought rebels who captured a gas field near the city of homs. fighting continues today in damascus and eastern suburbs there as well as

what's significant today is that mr. kerry had visited the arab league.robably the first american foreign secretary to visit the arab league offices in cairo. i think the americans are in a limbo on that because they know that they can't say anything to prime minister netanyahu. they know he is going to do it. they know diplom attic efforts on the other side are also rather complications indicated. all of the countries, i mean circumstancesey an allie of the americans. qatar, egypt. it's a very complicated situation. the problem, again, is that while all of this is happening, it is all of these people, hundreds of people are being killed and millions are losing lives. we talk about how many people are dead or injured. what about these people needing psychological -- it's about 80% 80% have no jobs. they are trapped in death everywhere they look. they have the sea on one side and israel on the other side and they have the huge problems with the egyptians as we know now. so, it's really a very, very bad situation. and what do you expect people to do when th

mr. kerry's remarks were accidental in or these mic comments were deliberate?well, nobody wants to see innocent people get hurt. and i think that -- i understand it's probably comes from his heart, to make sure that innocent people on the hamas side, on the gaza side, don't get hurt. we are in there. we don't want that to happen. but it's very, very clear, if they hide behind children, we'll warn them once, warn them twice, and go after the terrorists, and god forbid, take those children, those innocent people away, because we will not stop. we will not agree to getting shot from schools -- you know, they're shooting missiles from schools. can you imagine your -- you send your kids to school and underneath the school they shoot missiles, and then god forbid when an innocent children get hurt, they show them on television and say that we're the bad guys? give me a break. this is unacceptable and the world has to understand that. >> you have said and israel has stated repeatedly this is really about protecting your sovereignty and your borders, and that any other
