Have been killed. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he will not bow to International Pressures. Violence has surged in chicago. We have seen too much violence. They have access to guns and we need comprehensive gun legislation. If we can find the money, 4 billion. Lebron james says hes going back to where it all started. The offer has hit. Big with america. And of course the sports world seems to be taking over all of the United States. Soccer was an immigrant sport. Now thats changed. My boys will grow up knowing soccer is an american sport. We begin with the severe aerial offensive that has killed 120 people in gaza. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu vowed to press on with the attacks as long as hamas continued to send rockets into israel and signaled a Ground Invasion may be possible. Were preparing for all the possibilities. On friday the United Nations human rights raised concerns of the offensive against gaza violates International Law that bans the targeting of civilians and called on both sides to respond. The reports were receiving do raise serious doubts whether actions are pa compatible with human rights laws. One person was seriously hurt when a gas station in israel was hit. Hamas has sent unsuccessful rockets at airport. A rocket fired from lebanon landed in northern israel raising the specker on a second. Nick schifrin, good to see you. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is rejecting reject. We were out all day on the streets. We were at funerals. There are airstrikes and a lot of carnage. There is going to be more violence here in gaza. Netanyahu came out and said they was not going to bow to International Pressure. There was nothing in his comments other than the fact that he would continue, the escalation would continue over the weekend, and there is clearly no letting up in sight. Israel is accusing hamas of using communities in gaza to hide its commitment. Theyre getting leaflets to clear out because a bombing is coming. What have you seen . Is that the case . Is israel giving them warnings . Is hamas hiding its equipment in residential areas. It seems the answers to all those questions is yes. There was a rocket strike just a few blocks away. There are homes around that site. There are businesses like this one where people into the media, where people in normal businesses work. There are rockets coming from areas absolutely surrounded by buildings that are inhabited by civilians. Hamas on the other hand has definitely said as you suggested that nobody leave that border area. Israel said that everybody get out within a space beyond the wall that separates gaza and israel, and hamas said absolutely dont move. Were seeing the two sides fight rhetorically in the media and for the same people right on the gaza border. And people keep dying. Were joined by tel aviv by a spokesperson for israels foreign ministry, thank you for joining us. We seem to be seeing history repeat itself. Some 700 injured while injuries in israel are minimal. There is growing International Pressure to end the conflict. What is the next step for israel. Is israel open to mediation to stop this . Look, for three weeks prior to the start of operation defensive edge , we said publicly and we said privately repetitively that calm would be answered with calm. Quiet would be answered with quiet. The only thing that happened was that had a mass, the palestinian jihad and others increased the number of missiles firing on israel. They told us loud and clear that they reject the idea of a ceasefire. So the government has instructed the military to go in and put an end to this. Right now were not in a mood of putting a band aid on this problem. We think we need to dismantle the terror machine. President obama called last night. He spoke to Prime Minister netanyahu. He offered to help broker a ceasefire but the Prime Minister rejected that idea. He said this. No International Pressure will prevent us from acting against a Terror Organization that is calling for our destruction. Well attack anyone who is trying to hurt us. Well continue to defend both with determination and wisdom. Our home front, the citizens of israel. So youre talking about you dont want to do a band aid. Are we talking about a Ground Invasion, then . There is a possibility of a ground operation. I dont think a decision has been made. Look, the ball is in hamas court. They are the people who rejected quiet. They are the people who rejected calm. Lets not forget were talking about the ideological siblings of isis in iraq and syria, the spiritual brothers of the boko haram down in nigeria. They sometimes wear suits and look a little sophisticated, but if you look at what they say and look at what they do, this is one of the darkest regimes in modern political history. They have proven that they enjoy war crimes. They deliberately target our civilians and deliberately put their own civilians in the line of fire. Im not sure that were looking at a future of negotiation with this school of thought, and i think theyre particularly dangerous to the palestinians, first and foremost, and we really need to get to a place where we can dismantle the terror machine, and then find a way back to negotiations with the palestinian authority. Well, in that context, the u. N. High commissioner of human rights said on friday that it may violate International Laws of targeting civilians. You bring up the position that its hamas fault that its embed ding rocket launchers among the civilians . Well, its clear. We saw today they came out acknowledgin acknowledging that israel has made thousands of phone calls to civilians, telling them when and where were going to target, and asking them to move out of the way. In the same statement the hamas minister of interior instructed and demanded their public to ignore their warnings and stay in their homes. Now i dont know what pictures youre showing on the screen, but weve had in the last four days a thousand strikes, and 100 people including tragically, including civilians who have been killed. But if you look at that, it becomes clear that in a thousand strikes with 100 killed, israel is making every possible effort to avoid civilian casualties. Were working very hard at that. Its a difficult situation, but it doesnt mean that we can accept their discriminately firing on our civilians . But is it disproportionate. Some say that hamas rockets carry 10 tons of explosives versus 400 tons on the israeli size. Are you talking about di disproportion natali are emotional sense, it depends on which side on the political fence you lie. Everybody has their opinions, and every is going to spin the words in the direction they want to go, but we are targeting very specifically look, weve taken out over 150 rocket launchers. Weve taken out, i believe between 40 and 50 underground embedded rocket launchers. Weve hit 70 terror tunnels. Two major weapons depos, 18 or 19 arms factories. Were going for legitimate military target, and were going after them hard, and well continue doing so until such time as we have degraded and depleted the terror machine to such points that we will have quiet for a very long time. Thank you very much for taking the time to join us. Joining us now from gaza , serves as director of the Foreign Affairs department and spokesperson for hamas. Isra, good to have you with us. Ill start with the same question that i put to the israel spokesman foreign ministry. In the aggression in gaza, and to help the Palestinian People to get the Health Treatment medical. Is it true that hamas is putting people in areas and telling people to ignore warnings that bombings are coming and hamas is then responsible for the high death toll in this latest air wal war. As you said many of the dead are children. What do you say what the israelis are saying. The truth is that they are the side who are attacking. They are the side making disasters in all area. So the narrative itself spoken about firing from israel, there are few and limited airstrikes at the same time it happens nothing. We have only aggression until this moment. Were taking our palestinian side, 107, 70 are children. 16 are older 60 years old. At the same time they are saying that they call the houses , this is a big lie. The reality. They are targeting the area. The whole area from big, large, huge massive weapons, and attacking those areas. Its very complicated and sensitive issue in gaza. Then why continue shooting rockets . Because some would argue that hamas is bankrupt. Hamas has lost substantial backing from iran and the implication is certainlycertainly the implication is making that a higher death toll in gaza is helping hamas because its stoking anger towards israel. Its not a positive thing to leave this big number here in palestine. We are not only hamas. Were calling israel to stop using weapons against people and children. And its not anybodys business to say that iran or the egyptian side, no one agreed in the international community. Even right now the egyptian at the border we had 11 patients who went to cross to help treat at hospital there is, but its not enough. Were talking about a big dangerous humanitarian crisis. You cannot punish thousands. We cannot be just looking towards israel and saying thank you, israel, that youre killing the innocent here. Im wondering how can we move to stop this escalation at the same time israel must be held responsible. Im talking to you and i can hear very clear the airstrikes. We have no place to go. We have no Health Treatment, hospitals right now. Theyre targeting innocent people, children. Theyre making people here very bad. Theyre damaging people here without any muslim stability. Im asking the whole world what should the palestinians do more than that . Thats what i can say to that at this time of occupation. It is certainly a tragedy to see so many innocents getting caught in this tightening. Isra, thank you very much. Now for more stories from around the world. We begin in kabul, afghanistan, where secretary of state john kerry stride on friday to calm the turmoil over the highly disputed president ial election. Kerry spoke with the candidates, both of whom have claimed victory. Ashraf ghani was put head by a substantial margin. The losing candidate Abdullah Abdullah called for recount. Next we head to ukraine where a separatist launched a rocket attack using a russianmade grad rocket system. Ukrainian Authorities Say as many 30 soldiers and Border Guards were killed, making it one of the deadliest days for Ukrainian Forces. The Ukrainian Forces have vow revenge in the attack. All those who grad mists will be bound and destroyed. For every life of our service men rebels will pay for tens and hundreds of their lives. We end in new york city where a giant rubixs cube went for a boat ride. The giant toy was towed down the river to mark the 70th anniversary of the man who invented the iconic puzzle oh 40 years ago. It will begin touring the world in december. Coming up, chicago is bracing for more violence. The reverend Jesse Jackson joins us next. Also an author who foresaw the danger of boko haram long before the group made headlines. Author brad taylor will be here. An reporter the internet giveth, and the internet taketh away. A Soccer Player learned that lesson the hard way. And join the conversation were having on the show. You can join us on eighth aj turning to chicago where residents are bracing for another violent summer weekend. More than 1200 people have been shot in the city since january. On the fourth of july 82 people were shot, 14 were killed. Police say they were committed to curbing the shooting which has given thecy the nickname chiraq. They keep the guns and turn on our officers. This week reverend Jesse Jackson criticized for asking for funds for asking to aid immigrants children before aiding children in chicago. Joining us now from chicago is civil rights activist and founder and president of the rainbowpush coalition, reverend jesse yankees. Reverend, good to have you on the show. Thank you. Let me hazen to say i applaud helping children at the border. Were sending clothes, food and water, but we also have a crisis here. We really need a comprehensive urban policy conference in chicago. I mean, weve lost 4,000 lives in the last ten years almost as many as we lost in the war in iraq. Guns are trafficked in, jobs are going out, and there is no comprehensive plan to alter that course. What do you want them to do . As you know, i worked in chicago for many years. This has been a problem forever. People have been dying by the hundreds every year bans of gun violence. Unemployment , and on the other hand, theyve closed schools. Thats been devastating. They closed 50 drug stores and 72 grocery stores. Interest is a sense of abandonment, and chicago is a sub economy with drugs. Governor Rahm Emmanuel agreed with you. For one city, one future, one point. Put the guns down. But were showing a map here now that demonstrates what you were just saying a moment ago, how the killings are overwhelmingly on the south and west sides. Do you agree with emanuel. There are thre aris there one city . There are three cities. We have areas without a library and truly unbalance of education. Last week a kid was shot in front of our office. We couldnt take him to chicago hospital to trauma care. There is a 2000 block. I hope the president sees the value in having an urban. All the businesses have been taken away. Education, a sense of justice. This would be an ideal place to have an comprehensive urban summit. What about jason oreilly, author of a recent book. He criticized your request for more funds. He said its not about money. Its addressing black criminality. Its not about money, and it is about money. Why do we do so well on the basket ball court. Because the rules are even, goals are clear. Jobs do matter. Poverty does matter. Closing crumbling schools and hospitals do matter. You have a rank pattern of discrimination in jobs, education, healthcare and housing. Thats all very well documented. There also has been criticism about discrimination when it comes to more Aggressive Police tactics, specifically stop and frisk, which is not something that has been big in chicago but it has been big in other cities, is that something that needs to be done . Does there need to be more aggressive policing . Not necessarily. I think we need more teachers and coaches. Not more police. Many youth are on the street, there is no organized recreation. No horseback riding, no swimming, no skating rinks, no ice rinks, theyre not here. They have no art, no music, no athletics. I hope that we will see the need toif we can find 4 billion quickly, and we should invest money to show what can be done with investment. We need housing, education, healthcare and jobs. Are you hopeful . I am hopeful. I refuse to give up. The president is aware to the area. I appeal to him. Its a moral appeal, a merciful appeal. We need help, we need help desperately, and we need it now. Reverend Jesse Jackson. Good to talk to you. Thank you, sir. Curbing violence in the streets of chicago to a best selling authors insight to spying, covert black ops. N. A. T. O. Was a russia partner no longer but an adversary, playing a double game as it played a hybrid war in ukraine. A former special forces as a corner includin as a colonel. Its good to have you back on the show. This includes russian resentment to the west, particularly the u. S. For winning the cold war and one of your characters said, russia is worse than it was under the u. S. S. R. And the kgb is alive and well, is it really that bad . It is. The kgb was an unit under the russian state. After the cups theft with yeltsin and everyone else, the kgb took their services to the highest bidder. All these olagarts came up and they were all protected an and serviced by the kgb. Putin came in and consolidated the kgb and its indistinc indistinguishable who they are. In comments telling reporters saying nat toe is an adversary, not a partner, and moscow was conducting a hybrid warfare in ukraine, combining military, do we have a cold war its not so much whether we want one or not. Our country is tired of war. Isolationists is coming in. Putin wants to regain a lot of prestige that they had before, and a lot of them are afraid of the west. And then you have these two spying incidents on germany. Thats another thing you address in the book. Youre talking in this case about u. S. Spies and israeli spies and some tension there is. Do we have that kind of spy versus spy tension going on. With the germans its been blown out of proportion. Theyve seized on whats going on, they call it recruitment. What really happened was this guy walked into our consolidate and said ill tell you information. We didnt recruit anybody. He got caught because he did the same thing with russia. Thats how their Intelligence Service caught the him. He was selling the information to the russians, of course nobody is screaming about the russians. There is an unique relationship with israel because muchthey live with the wolf at the door all the time. We kind of realize that and down play it in the United States. They do spy on us. People say this is unprecedented and the first time the chief of station has been persona non grata. It does happen, and i thought if you want to send a signal. There is no damage done here. There are a lot of people in germany and the government that would side with russia over us because of historical reasons, but chancellor merkel is on our side, and she said i have to do something, and this is least damaging. Another aspect of the book. You have a main character who is a a boko haram terrorist. You obviously wrote this book before all these atrocity ies became knowledge. The mass murder and kidnapping of 200plus girls. How did you focus on them . I was looking for an oh twolegge
