9:02 pm
mora, this is al jazeera america. we begin tonight with a blame game in the downing of malaysia flight 17. dutch officials released an investigation into what brought down the jetliner killing nearly 300. investigators found the plane was shot out of sky by a russian made missile fired from ukraine, and argued that the air space should have been closed to commercial traffic. ukrainians argued needing to do that, saying no one new russia had missiles. the white house called the report an important milestone that could help identify those responsible. >> reporter: in a dutch military hang har lies the open shell of -- hangar lies the open shell of flight mh17.
9:03 pm
it's a grim puzzle helping the investigators peace together technical reports about the flight's last moments. >> flight mh17 crashed because of a war head, the sort that fits a missile that fits on the service to air missile system. >> the cockpit is peppered by shrapnel by a war head that exploded. the front section broke away in mid air. it would have been a quick death for those piloting the plane. >> one thing that the report does not answer is where the missile was fired from, and the burning question of who is responsible. but suspicions are rife. ukraine and some western leaders accuse pro-russian separatists of using a book service to air missile supplied by moscow. russia denies this. in moscow, the state producer that makes the buk missiles
9:04 pm
presented a parallel report. including a life-size reconstruction that refutes dutch findings. russia claims the type of missile only exists in ukraine's arsenal, and say the weapon was fired from ukranian held territory. for the families of those killed, it's been a desperate search for answers, including why the plane was allowed to fly over a war zone, and calls on airline companies to take more precautions, and suggests ukraine should have closed the air space. we know where and why mh17 crashed. it could lead to charges of war crimes and murder ukranian president petro porashenko is convinced russia was behind the missile strike
9:05 pm
that brought down the jetliner even though the report doesn't go that far. >> the dutch didn't talk about who was responsible, and did not name surnames. here is the important information. there was a russian missile. from territory occupied by russians. the world made a conclusion as to who is responsible for it. >> for more, it's turned to a former mix ber of the transportation board. as we heard, it is clear that the missile was manufactured in russia, and fired from territory controlled by pro-eastern ukraine. russia and their manufacturers denied they were involved. do you have any doubts. >> the only thing we can be sure of is the dutch report is as accurate as we can be. the dutch investigative authorities are excellent. the report and all the detail that's in it will tell us what brought the airplane down.
9:06 pm
others will decide who is to blame. and where the missile came from, and that is the intelligence communities around the world. >> so if this was a russian missile system, a buk missile, this is is not some small webbingon, it's an extremely -- weapon, it's an extremely complex peace of weaponry. >> as i understand it has to be truck mounted. it's not something to put on your shoulder and takes a trained operator it hit an airplane at 30,000-odd feet going 550 miles per hour. so it's a very difficult shot. it requires a lot of expertise on the ground. and expertise in the equipment. we went through, we went through a lot of these stations, geyerations and stereos, about it being a missile or not, and a lot of work that was done at that time to draw the
9:07 pm
conclusions that we did was similar to the work that the dutch have done to draw the conclusions that they have. >> the dutch found clear evidence, especially in the bodies of the pilots, the people in the cockpit, that indicated that it was a russian missile. ukraine does not escape unscathed here. the report blames them. the ukrainians saying they had sufficient reason though close the air space over eastern ukraine. does the ukranian government deserve blame for not closing the air space? >> yes. they do deserve some of the blame, as do the airlines as well. this was a hot bed area, and a lot of people know about it. the red flags should have been up. and they weren't. >> why didn't the airlines take action. why were they continuing to fly over a war zone dism. >> it's not just malaysia, a
9:08 pm
lot of airlines were flying over it. it's a convenient route. sometimes we continue to do the same old thing just because we have always done them. and that way, you know, it's tough to say who is to blame. >> what about international organizations. even western intelligence agencies must have been aware. it's disturbing to see that nothing was done to make planes avoid the area. final question for you. the report is disturbing, and how it's described what about to airplanes. not everyone is believed to have died. some may have been conscious as the planes remain. >> not for lodge. we have ample evidence in this country of rapid decompression. pressurizing, and how quick the human life is lost.
9:09 pm
don't forget, we have a notable golfer die here in the united states. because of pressurisation not being set properly. it wasn't as dramatic as this one, where there's a total lose of pressurisation, in an instance, very quickly. they have all the oxygen and breath taken out of your body inside of a second or two. maybe if someone was in really good shape, might have lived for eight or nine or 10 seconds. state conscious. i think most of the are unconscious within a second or two. >> let's hope there was not much suffering. >> formerly the ntb words of condemnation from russian president vladimir putin, towards the u.s. for what he says is a lack of compensation saying some had mush for brains.
9:10 pm
russia's embassy was struck by two rockets. it caused panic, because several hundred gathered outside to show support for russia's air campaign. ash carter addressed vladimir putin's remarks during a press conference. >> we are not able, at this time. to associate ourselves more broadly with russia's approach in syria, because it is wrong-headed. and strategically short-sighted. and that is because it attempts to fight extremism while not also, at the same time, working to promote the political transition russian and american defense officials are expected to meet an wednesday to discuss the respective campaigns in syria. >> an intelligence agreement between russia, syria and iran appears to pay off in iraq.
9:11 pm
baghdad started to bomb i.s.i.l. positions in the country based on intelligence in those three countries, officials have reportedly grown impatient with the u.s. campaign against i.s.i.l., which has control over a third of the country. the prime minister said he'd approve of russian air strikes. >> amnesty international is calling on u.s.-backed forces in northern syria to stop displacing civilians, saying it amounts to war crimes. human rights groups new report says that kurds have demolished homes and deliberately displaced thousands of mostly arab citizens, it was reportedly intended as retaliation for supporting i.s.i.l. and other groups. >> in new york, u.s. officials spoke about gains made by collision against i.s.i.l. u.n. special convoy gave an invest of how things were going in iraq and syria. >> this will be a long-term
9:12 pm
conflict with many aspects to be considered. some days we'll have advances in the conflict, some days we'll have setbacks. some aspects of this conflict may take a generationar more. as an international community, i believe we can and will rise to this challenge. >> the outgoing special envoy believes ramadi will be the next city liberated in iraq, and it will continue to be dependent on foreign support to survive. another day of bloodsaid in israel, three were killed in several attacks. since october 7th israelis died. 99 injured, 1500 injured. in response to the escalating violence, the israeli cabinet authorised them to seal off some sections of jerusalem. we are joined by carl now, in
9:13 pm
jerusalem. >> there is a very palpable sense of fear on the streets of jerusalem, both in west jerusalem, and also on the streets of occupied east jerusalem, communities who have lived okay, uneasy neighbours for many years, and now seem to be distrusting each other more than ever before. but let's take a look at this report about how event of the day unfolded, and the kind of angry mood that is now being generated. [ sirens ] >> reporter: a morning that ended in a blood blast. israeli police say two palestinian attackers armed with a pistol and a knife stormed the number 78 bus, killing and wounding jewish passengers. >> we understand the attack took place here and in jerusalem, were carried out by lone wolves,
9:14 pm
terrorists. >> this lady says he was on the bus behind. >> the driver of the bus. the first bus come to us. we spoke to the driver. he is inside the inside. on one side of the city street, a palestinian neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem, on the other, an illegal settlement under international law. hate red is seething. >> if they don't like it here, they can go to syria, germany. >> these bystanders are angry at israeli police or politicians, accusing them of being too soft on security. >> no more. it's our land. it will be forever. we will not accept it, who does not accept it is invited to go out. if the government is not taking
9:15 pm
care of us, we should take care of ourselves. >> jerusalem mayor advocating just that. >> if you are a terrorist, and you carry a knife and want to stab people, you will be killed. think twice before you do it. the bus is being taken away for examination. the attack is violent. you can see bullet holes in the wind, and some of the others have been blown out during the attack. almost at the same time as the bus attack, this was the scene captured on dramatic civilians footage in a neighbour hood of west jerusalem. a palestinian man rammed his car into a bus stop, killing a rabbi and wounding others with a meat cleaver. if the violence spirals, young palestinian boys mourn the death of their 15-year-old school friend a day earlier in another quarter of east jerusalem. >> we were together and then we split up.
9:16 pm
i didn't see hasan after. a little after midday, as i was going home. i heard gunshots israeli police say hasan was killed after stabbing two israeli settlers. his cousin is injured in hospital, also accused of the attack. this youtube video shows him moments after being run down by an israeli car. bystanders curse him, police shoot him. the dead teenagers family tells a different story to the official version, renting claims that hasan was armed, dangerous or politically motivated. amid the attacks and stabbings, his uncle believes right wing politicians are stoking paranoia, wanting israelis to feel in danger, and feel if they drop their guard the arabs will slaughter them, and give the
9:17 pm
green light to kill arabs, without hesitation. we walked down close to the spot where hasan died. >> the playground and the highway above have now become a battle line. >> the mood seems to be getting uglier by the moment, and right now you are hearing view voices talking about conciliation, and calm. >> what are you hearing about israel's actions, and what the government is planning to do, because there are a lot of calls for tougher measures. >> absolutely, in response to the events of today, the israeli government security council went to an emergency meeting, a meeting that lasted into the late evening.
9:18 pm
a number of proposals are on the tainable. we are hearing from some media reports that those measures are a done deal. we are hearing from others, that there'll be a formal and final announcement in a few hours as day breaks in jerusalem. essentially what is on the table are proposals that the israeli military will draft soldiers on to the streets of west jerusalem, and occupied east jerusalem to support police operations, and there's a proposal on the table to beef up the israeli troop presence along the green line that is the generally accepted boundary between israel and the occupied west bank and a controversial measure that could involve israeli security forces, surrounding the neighbourhoods to limit the movements of residents there in and out reporting in the early morning hours of west jerusalem.
9:19 pm
9:21 pm
9:22 pm
of rage. palestinian youths hurled stones at israeli forces responding with tear gas and rubber bullets. tensions have been stirred over anger over access to jewish sights holy to muslims and jews. in the north of israel a rare sight amidst the violence - thousands of israelis and palestinians protesting in piece. andrew simmonds reports. >> reporter: thousands fill the streets of this town, carrying a strong protest message against the israeli government. these are palestinian israelis, citizens of the state, and amongst them representatives, 13 members of the israeli parliament, the knesset. >> what is acting is not us, it's the actions of the israeli government. this is occupation, all accumulated into legitimate anger. the sort of anger seen here was
9:23 pm
not violent. instead hard-hitting speeches condemning the israeli prime minister's actions. this rally with a packed out town square is seen as a litmus test, a barometer of political support for resistance. now it's peaceful. the police and the army are not in site. that is the way it stayed. this rally showed overwhelming solidarity with resistance to the occupation. organizers say 95% of this town have come out on strike, all the shops were closed. speakers called for a peaceful solution. among them an israeli jewish professor. >> every jewish citizens that wants to live in this country has to defend the arab minority within israel against the attack by our government. and that they are playing with
9:24 pm
fire, and this is dangerous for both our peoples. the rally ended as it began, peacefully - a rare sight these days greg joins us from philadelphia tonight. the director of the middle east forum, a think tank whose stated mission is to promote american missions in the middle east. to encourage acceptance of israel. and also is a former advisor. very good to have you with us. earlier we heard an israeli policeman describe the people involved that lone wolves, lone terrorists. we have seen dozens of attacks. easier sense that the violence is random and not organized. it's not just the violence we focus on, but the serialization of terrorism.
9:25 pm
essentially individuals have taken violence and incitement. whether it's gaza or the west bank. it's effectively i.s.i.s.-born terrorism, west and east of the green line. >> this evening, the governor announced it would seal off neighbourhoods to try to prevent attacks. is there not the danger that taking that action will inflame things further. i think the situation has boiled above where it's supposed to go. if we have a continual wave, seeing the israelis respond with security measures, the palestinians will not react in a way that is acceptable. this is not about a crisis resolution mode. it's about crisis management. until there is an acceptable leadership willing to sit at the table with israel, condemn the
9:26 pm
terror wave, and basically manage their own people, there'll be harsher israeli security measures, and a result of that might be tepid for the israeli populous. at the same time we have to realise if there's not another option. >> on leadership measures, there's many issues on both sides. beyond the ugliness of attacking ourselves, there are israeli forces killing attackers. on the other hand we see palestinian leaders. turning attackers into martyrs. reactions like those on both sides have got to worry you if you are hoping for a solution. >> you gave a perfect analysis, which in one place you have a populous response with groups reacting to violence in the now. on the other hand you have palestinian leadership that is expected to condemn the attacks under what they are expected under international law and precedent.
9:27 pm
you have them stamping the seal of approval. just the verb yosty and the language coming out from both sides. you see people trying to stop conflicts, and the palestinian leadership trying to egg it on. >> on the other hand you have impartial observers, one of the architects of the oslo attacks that arguing that israel needs to stop building in the west bank, and the young are fed up because they don't see the peace process going anywhere. do they not have a point. >> i think the young palestinians do have a point. the root of the problem is that the oslo accords though the norwegians hemmed together have become a failed agreement. there needs to be a new paragim for peace within the framework of palestinians working for
9:28 pm
israelis. they demanded that they are ready to make peace 18 or 19 times, but in the wake of refusal, seven dead israelis, and 19 injured later, there'll be increased concerns. until the palestinian side wakes up and says if we don't want settlements. maybe we should talk. >> seems like there not too much willingness on either side. let hope talking begins against. >> good to have you was, greg. >> a major step forward for the iran nuclear deal, including hardliners, voted to approve it. violent clashes in turkey as government leaders look to quell a political divide that is tearing the country apart.
9:31 pm
>> we're here to fully get into the nuances of everything that's going on, not just in this country, but around the world. getting the news from the people who are affected. >> people need to demand reform... >> ali velshi on target weeknights 10:30p et welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm antonio mora. coming up in this half hour - the taliban withdraws from an afghan city, but battles for control of others. the democratic presidential candidate scares off. behind the posturing is fact checking the debate. david shuster joins us with more. so far it's the bernie and
9:32 pm
hillary show. >> indeed, and anyone that thought bernie sanders and hillary clinton would be nice to each other, almost. they have also gone after. you might think that hillary clinton was the progressive and bernie sanders the centrist. the firstish u, gunns, bandare -- first issue was guns, and bernie sanders was asked with gun manufacturers should be exempt from lawsuits. he said of course not. but he voted for a law saying that. hillary clinton went after him hard. she got the shots in. bernie sanders was on the defense. >> reporter: what about the other three, are they making impact. >> if you look at shavy, he made a marvel moment. they asked a little on the vote, against the iraq war, and jim webb is pointing out that the deal with iran over nukes is a bad one. but primarily, hillary clinton
9:33 pm
and bernie sanders - there was hillary clinton trying to explain flip flops. she said why did you felt like it, needing a better deal. when she said she thought this deal was the gold standard. moving the deal to the left. she says i think it's a bad meal. clear case of expediency. >> we'll look at the debate. >> the lawsuit challenging the police department is finding new life. federal appeals court reinstated a suit brought by plaintiffs in new jersey. officers had been monitoring muslim community. a lower court ruled police could not keep watch on muslim terrorist activities without watching muslims, but the appeals rejected that, comparing

9:36 pm
more than 100. officials say the prime suspect is a home-grown i.s.i.l. affiliate. recep tayyip erdogan admitted that there were intelligence failures. >> there are certain intelligence from the past stays and months about preparations made by terrorist entering the country and carrying out various acts, and they originated from syria. the attack hit a kurdish political rally that opposes the government. that has given suspicion, about whether ankara is doing enough. al jazeera mohammed jamjoom reports from ankara. >> protests persist. clashes continue. more and more officials are calling for unity. even as the political divisions grow deeper.
9:37 pm
>> analysts say the country is more polarized than ever. it's as if the winner takes the game and no one wants to be the loser. people that say terrorism, it's increasing. a huge worry for all the parties whose posters hang throughout the city. >> daily life in ankara returned to normal, it's no longer politics as usual. party elections may be around the corner, but political rallies are suspended out of respect for victims of saturday's attack. it remains to be seen how and if the bombings will affect voters opinions. outside the main train station where the blasts occurred, the makeshift memorial is in place. carnations to commemorate victims, pictures of whom sit amid the flowers. >> we can only overcome this by
9:38 pm
our will to live together. we are mourning together, and feeling the pain fighter. we will not allow anybody to make use of the pain we are feeling from the incident to divide us. this is a terrorist attack, and it was aimed against the whole of the country living in unity. >> this is a member of czechs and balances, an interdialogue initiative made up of members over turkey, and they came to pay respects and reinforce a message, that while they may think differently, they consult by working together. >> i believe the people that lost their lives died due do a lack of dialogue. what i say is simple - dialogue, dialogue, dialogue. >> tired of poisonous politics and an expanding conflict with the armed kurdish group p.k.k., they are hopeful that citizens working together can turn the
9:39 pm
tide. >> all of turkey wants to return to a 3-year long era of ceasefire and dialogue. turkey needs a language of piece and dialogue. >> a language that these days seem to be spoken far less than ever before the u.s. military identified two airmen killed when a british helicopter crashed in kabul on sunday. the mayor was from rio new mexico and worked at the air force academy, and master sergeant gregory kruz was assigned to the base in illinois. the white house welcomed reports that taliban fighters retrited from kunduz. the taliban is closing in on gonzi, another city close to the capital. >> the rockets fell at the end of the day into gasney city.
9:40 pm
they may not get into the capital, they can make their presence known. the government said the taliban has been on the outskirts of the city. residents are shutting down the businesses, streets are empty as concerns of the fall ban assaulting the city. afghan, police and army reinforcements were brought into the city. and they repelled an attack. the taliban controls sections of highway one, linking the major cities of afghanistan, and they control parts of the highway between kabul and kandahar, shutting down traffic. the highway has been closed. thousands stranded on the highway. many spending a cold night on the highway. that is expected tuesday night even though afghan forces say they will drive them off the highway, taliban have blown up sections of highway one in ghazni province, and mined part
