Sanctions imposed on several russian officials washington has frozen the assets of companies and all of our explodes to russian president Vladimir Putin said it was responding to what it called russias malign activity around the world. In syria opposition monitors say Government Air strikes have killed at least forty people in the last rebel held area inside eastern state television says Government Troops backed by Russian Forces are slowly closing in on the town of duma the attacks and a ten day lull in fighting there Israeli Security forces have fired live rounds on Palestinian Protesters at the gaza border killing at least nine people including a journalist and injuring dozens more now this follows the deaths of more than twenty others in demonstrations last week the palestinian basket or to the un has condemned the killings take a listen the pressure will be mounting on old parts of the International Community not only the Security Council but all parts including the secretary general have to do something in order to stop this continuing the massacre against the Palestinian People. And that was the palestinian u. N. Ambassador riyad months or speaking earlier well meanwhile organizers of the Gaza Protests say the demonstrations are against the decade old blockade of the territory but israel accuses the palestinians of using the protests as a cover for infiltrating the border and staging attacks inside israel. Sending up smoke from burning mounds of tires the protesters hope what Israeli Soldiers can see they cant shoot. The demonstrators are calling this the great much of return the demand the people forced from their lands during the one nine hundred forty eight war with israel be allowed to return to Islamist Hamas group was a key force in organizing the protests. That are there now is that we will never give up on any of our inalienable rights the land is one of them another is the holy sites to receive them the mall sunder churches. Israel says the protests are a challenge to its territory and it has the right to defend itself it accuses homines of using the protests as cover to carry out attacks on Israeli Border towns. Is a travesty for the Palestinian People that the hamas government is encouraging its people to attack israel is encouraging its people to commit acts of violence and encouraging them to actually storm into israel to try to destroy israel and kill as many people as possible but rights watchdogs have criticized israel for firing on protesters from its side of the border the United Nations has urged restraint. We remind israel of its obligations to ensure that Excessive Force is not employed against protesters the unjustified unlawful recourse to firearms by Law Enforcement resulting in death may amount to a willful killing and grave breach of the fourth geneva convention. The protests along the volatile border are expected to culminate on the fifteenth of may the day following the seventieth anniversary of israels declaration of independence. For more were joined now from gaza by d. W. Correspondent tanya kramer so tanya this was the second consecutive friday of protests at the gaza border one is happening right now where you are. Well im standing here in the border area and at the fence behind me is the area which is the socalled buffer zone which is about three to four hundred meters here on the gaza side and graham standing is where most of the protests happened yesterday where people a lot of people were just coming and seeing and we saw a lot of the use of course trying to get closer to the fence according to the army there where some high bombs thrown stones were thrown burned tires were burned on this side as you heard in the report to shield the protesters from possible sniper fire and we had again i number of casualties overnight journalist who was injured yesterday diet and according to the House Ministry over one thousand ministry here in gaza one thousand people injured now in this mine this is a highly sensitive area it is quiet if you use a coming here there are also farmers here on the field but this is one of the five major points of protests that are planned here for the next within the next five weeks while these protests have been called by the organizers of the march for return just what exactly do they hope to achieve. Well the march of return refers to the plight of the Palestinian Refugees one thousand nine hundred forty eight and theyre saying basically this year israel is celebrating its creation ninety four to palestinians thats why theyre saying it goes on until mid may when palestinians commemorate the nakba day the catastrophe is to call when they had to leave or were forced to flee their land i think this is the overarching message of these protests at the same time when you talk to people and a lot of young people taking part in those protests they were telling me that we are coming here to serve because now we have the attention that gaza has been closed off for over ten years ever since hamas took over here. Have have closed the borders its very hard to get a permit to contract hardly ever also to the west bank the economy is down there saying we find no jobs and we want to be we want a voice is to be heard and thats why a lot of mainly young men are also risking their lives because israel has warned if they approach the border that threatens here just behind me theyre risking their lives our id w. s tanya kramer reporting from the border with gaza many thanks indeed. In fridays going to flee to action relief for hanover as they finally end a five game losing streak against they had a brain in hand over broke the deadlock but to barney frank the ball and at the near post well hungry for more had ever made it to before half time thanks to phoenix house. And it was in this creative lawn that started it all. Hanover hold on for the two one win and are now at nine points clear of the relegation zone. And two struggling clubs face off in the fight to avoid relegation cologne sit in seventeenth place but a win against mines tonight would bring them within three points of their rivals in sixteenth and cologne have better win if they want to keep hold of their First Division status bond theyll have to bounce back from a demoralizing loss last weekend. With cologne you just never know when its over leipzig and leverkusen then a loss of Epic Proportions six nil in hoffenheim theyre not letting it set their confidence though much of the target was shown as attained that we can suffer a setback like in frankfurt where we also fell apart and came back to get a result were counting on being able to do it again. Thats the bit we go to will be helped by the return of z one to rota by their top scorer a win against minds would put cologne within striking distance of the relegation play off place a minor miracle if you havent done much the one stage we had just three points off to fourteen matches never in our wildest dreams did we think we could get anywhere near the relegation play off place this early im not trying to put us down thats just a fact thats difficult. A wrongly awarded penalty gave months away and over cologne earlier this season but the guests have just one win away all season. Goal is clear to take three points away from home but still nothings done yet we still have six games to play.
