The children were playing outdoors during a brief lull in the fighting. One eyewitness said they had a huge explosion. He then rushed from his home and found the bodies of children scattered in the street. Hamas says the children were killed by an Israeli airstrike, but Israel denies this, saying the blast was caused when Palestinian militants misfired a rocket.

Russia's Finance Ministry has vowed to challenge an International Court ruling that Moscow must pay more the 50 billion dollars in compensation to shareholders of the former Russian oil giant Yukos. Our economic correspondent Andrew Walker has more on the case.

俄罗斯财政部承诺违抗国际法院的判决,该判决要求莫斯科必须向前俄罗斯石油巨头尤科斯的股东们支付500多亿美元的赔偿金,经济记者安德鲁·沃克报道。

Yukos was one of the giants of the energy industry that emerged at the end of the Soviet Union. But the company collapsed as its chief executive Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested, tried and imprisoned for theft and tax evasion, and his assets were acquired by a state-owned oil company. The ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague calls the failure of Yukos a devious and calculated expropriation. He says the court was used to incarcerate a man who gave signs of becoming a political competitor to President Putin. Mr. Khodorkovsky, who was no longer in prison, welcomed the ruling, but says he will not benefit financially. Russian officials have said they would appeal and described the ruling as flawed and politically biased.
