a few dozen kilometers away from the crash ordinary ukrainians continue to die as the army closes in on the city of new gods. the worldwide headlines live from moscow international with me will receive from all of us here welcome to the program investigators are combing through the wreckage of the malaysian airliner that crashed in eastern ukraine on thursday called killing all two hundred ninety eight on board alongside the debris of the plane like the remains of passengers on that belongings i'll show you some pictures here all the white ribbons marking the spots where the bodies have been found but many of who were on board still remain unaccounted for the team of international observers from the organization. for security and cooperation in europe will

continue their examination of the site of it later accompanied by representatives of a self-proclaimed don't yet see people's republic they took pictures of the gruesome scene on friday analyses of a month was that. we are now way past that's when a four hour mark that the bodies of the people of that crash malaysia airlines flight had been lying around here along with the burning debris you know they always see mission had already come here the spend about an hour talking to people in scouring the area then they left so we couldn't get any information from them right away there were keeping mom about the whole thing but certainly the shock was definitely on their faces now it's not just this area that's been affected the debris and along with the bodies had falling in an area around twelve kilometers here so this is going to be lengthy lengthy process for identification

and for investigation as well and right now skewed to take a look at what we have seen here so far and how this tragedy had affected the people that live here in eastern ukraine this woman who was out working in her garden when her son sold her a body had fallen from the sky and broken through the roof of their house the badly mangled victim of the malaysian airlines flight has now been laying in in this kitchen for more than a day. at first i didn't notice and yes then my son went out and said mom there is a body in the kitchen there was plastic everywhere i thought it was just a pile of rubbish but then i found this too that it was a human body without a leg and was arms twisted and broken. it was a man who fell out of the plane and through the roof it's a murder every all murder their local residents are dimitri said the area's been sargon hit by ukrainian forces as part of their so-called antiterrorist operation

my wife and i were having dinner when we heard a strange noise that sounded like clapping as soon as we went out of the house we saw a body lying nearby it must have fallen from a very high altitude the only thing left on the body was a t. shirt it was a man the legs were broken no soap practically no blood now you can smell the odor over here there are no words to describe it here's my house and it all happened right here i was watching t.v. i heard a roar in two explosions i would know and saw a spinning plane without a wing with something falling out of it the area where the plane crashed is near several mines that sustained people economically in the done as krege and so it comes as no surprise that coal miners or some of the first on hand to help at the scene of the tragedy. i've lived here with my family my whole life here where the

crash happened i've been working in this coal mine for forty years and now i just want to help that's all there are thirty people in our ship and just two of them went to work others came here to help. is thought roses of the victims are going to be arriving here shortly and no doubt they will be seeking answers but it seems they could be in for a quite a wait to find out just how their loved ones were taken from them from on cost or of art see donetsk ukraine now the majority of passengers on the flight what dutch people across the netherlands have been laying flowers in tribute many of the victims while holidaymakers heading to the malaysian beaches that is what i can now reporting from the grieving country. as travelers rush to catch their flights these floral tributes are the only visible reminder of the tragedy for victims' families the cool wait to find out who downed

flight m h seventeen continues but away from the airport the heartbreaking stories are starting to emerge in the town of borden a school rocked by grief graduates of men kemah college robin hamill rick robot young vines it veld and his sister fred a reek were about to start the next chapter of their lives while two of the three students from this school that sadly perished are name age seventeen were in fact billings a brother and a sister who were flying out to kuala lumpur with their grandparents who had gifted them a holiday to southeast asia for graduating from this school just several days ago everybody's together there's lots of crying everybody supporting one another you don't see something like bruce coming i knew he was going on holiday to malaysia with you never expect something like this to happen instead of enjoying the first days of their summer holiday pupils and teachers are grieving it's somebody saying

something on the news is one thing but when it's a bunch your own school it hits you i still don't understand it were shell shocked the loss is terrible we've opened up the school so that the kids can come in and mourn together and so that the students that needs extra help can get professional trauma counseling. over announced today outside one of the city's bars we saw young men and women crying they were mourning the loss of their friends lawrence van de graaff and his girlfriend collin kaiser who had planned to travel across malaysia. five am last night i got a text and i woke up. and i saw it was gone you have this roller coaster going round this different emotions disbelief shock anger sadness. and. you feel horrible and saddam has a population of just around eight hundred thousand people everyone we've spoken to

is in shock but because that list of dutch casualties was so high on m.h. seventeen most of the people we've spoken to say they know someone or know someone who knows someone who died on that plane well what i read earlier today that it's the same ratio as nine eleven where you compared to death toll to or to the population so i think it's pretty impactful and while relatives and friends of victims digest the news of what's happened the flags are flying at half mast a symbol of a nation in mourning. for people you can see. and other tributes have been paid from all across the world many have offered prayers along with flowers on notes in remembrance of those who perished oxys alexina shots can now reporting from malaysia. we're now here in kuala lumpur where the mh seventeen plane was supposed to land but it didn't and scenes on friday where he was very emotional the

relatives of those who were killed on that plane crash literally stormed the airport the particularly the offices of the malaysian airline company demanding the lists of those who wore on board for some reason the company was reluctant to give those lists only a few hours later did provide those lists now we understand that a larger part of the relatives of the victims of the plane crash went to amsterdam from there they will travel to ukraine where they will participate in the identification of these bodies that but the authorities here both the authorities of the malaysian airlines company and the state authorities are on the rolling press conference schedule there providing updates literally every hour raising a lot of questions particularly that one of the most important questions as to why as it's been reported the plane was ordered by the ukrainian air traffic controllers to descend to a lower altitude the scenes are now pretty calm although huge media and police presence here around the airport which pretty much resembles the scenes of march

when another airliner of the malaysian airline company disappeared it's still nowhere to be found but of course the situation is different and we are waiting for more updates from the country's officials well the investigation has barely begun but the u.s. insists it has firm evidence the plane was shot down by a missile fired from an area controlled by and find more on this with guy nature can. president obama said the missile was shot from the territory controlled by separatists in eastern ukraine having said that he also added we don't know exactly what happened i think it's very important for us to make sure that. we don't get out ahead of the facts. and at this point in terms of identifying specifically what individual or group of individuals or a. personnel order that the strike. came about the u.s. president called for a credible international investigation and that is something all members of the

u.n. security council are calling for including russia because nobody at this point knows who shot the missile the blame game is about who created the ground for this tragedy to happen and here we see a clash of different views the u.s. says russia is responsible because it supported the rebels we know that these separatists have received a steady flow of support from russia. this includes arms and training russia says key if it's responsible because it launched this military operation in eastern ukraine and the u.s. supported it at this point we have this vicious back and forth between everyone involved and not involved. now there are plenty of unexplained details surrounding the flight from kuala lumpur for me the plane diverted from its usual flight path in fact it then passed directly over a war zone finally according to the headline ukrainian traffic controllers requested the plane drop altitude the reasons for that remain very unclear.

now with accusations being thrown in from just about every direction moscow has suggested kiev has some explaining to do details with r.t. as marina for national we spoke a short while ago. russia wants to know why the ukrainian authorities believe that the country's anti government forces shut down the airplane and while other countries opposition doesn't have an air force why have deployed surface to air missiles in the area and russia is also calling on ukraine to release its records of the military tracking from the day of the tragedy hand questions have also been raised over why allow the airliner to deviate from its course and fly over the battleground these are the crucial issues that russia's deputy defense minister believes key of should clarify for a better understanding of what caused the tragedy i would like to express deep condolences to all people. who are in

this currish and to want to use this opportunity to blame anybody just for the like a few questions to my. colleagues from our forces of ukraine while the investigation continues to have been thrown from every direction to every direction and every budget understand that it should be done very carefully otherwise consequences could be very dramatic but still we can see that there are more questions than answers in this tragic story r.t. course one of the national right now and the government forces of course are accusing each other of shooting down the plane with a surface to air missile system allegedly used was made by the soviet bloc it's a mobile complex that can be quickly moved around and deployed virtually anywhere and unlike held surface to air missiles the book system has the range to shoot down

a high flying airliners ukrainian military was known to have deployed a number of these systems in the area and intelligence expert charles shubert says claims if you have to be backed up by any solid evidence. one could say from the outset with some investigation the area of ground from which it was launched and of course that would give an indication even though it's accepted i think that is to put it much of east ukraine is in a fluid situation in terms of who controls why any given time the ukraine government has released what it claims are a number of evidence should lead for example it is said that. intercepted communications it says between people on the ground that suggested that we have those who are firing oh how far into all weapons i'd also ukraine government has in the past said that the rebels have these weapon systems i should point out that of course the government claims i was yet on cooperated in respect to these intercepted transmissions and also of course. the prosecutor general himself the

night that rebels have the system so it's fair to say there's a lot of confusion at the moment and really this really points the way to the importance of a thoroughly independent. investigation to uncover all of the leads in this case more updates from ukraine after a very short break. i'm happy martin the stories we cover here you're not going to hear any right story that's. the reason they don't want you to know.

now let's break the set. well leaders called for an investigation after a passenger jet crashes in east ukraine. the. passenger plane crash relatives of the victims left overwhelmed with grief the netherlands loses one face shows this is a national tragedy does she have an anti government forces are accusing each other bringing down the plane deny having shut down. the media turns a blind eye do you get an oxy. thank you joining us out international regarding the malaysian airliner that came down in eastern ukraine at a tent submergence the meeting of the u.n. security council russia's envoy urged others not to assign blame before the results of an investigation a known. it was following proceedings in new york. as pressure and

accusations are piling up against moscow russian envoy to the united nations vitaly churkin is urging security council members against pointing blame or prejudging an investigation into the tragic plane crash during a somber and yet contentious emergency meeting friday ambassador churkin said there are many unanswered questions such as why did the ukrainian aviation dispatchers send a plane flight into an area of military clashes and where were the anti-aircraft systems working ambassador churkin says the ukrainian government has not been showing military restraint as western countries have insisted moscow insists that heaves aggressive attacks and indiscriminate shelling of areas in eastern ukraine has led to more violence and clashes and this is why moscow insists that responsibility for the tragic plane crash lies with key. members of the british good we have repeatedly warned of a grave dangers of solving ukraine's political crisis through the use of force we

have been calling for respectful dialogue between the conflicting sides however at each stage kiev has chosen the wrong course and their western backers i'm speaking mainly of the united states have pushed them to escalate the crisis and now when facing the catastrophic repercussions of this course of action they're trying to shift responsibility to russia. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. samantha power says it's likely that a surface to air missile was used to down the malaysian airliner as a result is that the international community cannot rule out that russia assisted the ukrainian separatists in shooting down the plane many western council members also said that rebels in eastern ukraine have shot down several planes in the area in recent days is their record and capability of activity the ukrainian ambassador to the u.n. told the council that he believes the separatists in the eastern part of his country are armed with two missile systems that would be capable of shooting down

the malaysian airlines plane he insists his government has evidence to back up the claim the u.n. security council expressed its condolences to the families of the plane crash victims of the two hundred ninety people on the malaysian flight to kuala lumpur from amsterdam u.n. officials say eighty more children. and with a plane crash taking all the global attention since. going crackdown in eastern ukraine has gone largely unnoticed we're talking about here where the army has tightened the siege of the region's second largest city just about sixty kilometers from where the jet came down show you some images from the streets of shortly after an artillery attack at least twenty locals were killed a market left in ruin craters left outside a church all a result of the latest offensive more details on the price of a crackdown with. one of the major developments in the airport

has been taken over. this was one of the most highly contested area near the city and they have entered but not before inflicting heavy damage on its we're talking about shelling from the air shelling with missiles and artillery fire in one instance eight people were killed three when a shell has exploded in the middle of a pedestrian crossing. basically the city. has been left without electricity without running water a gas five also has been hit leaving a lot of people without access to heat for cooking purposes for example there was already talk about the military and catastrophe in the city of the gonski bud's that is happening basically right on the heels of statements made by ukrainian officials before when they were saying that residential areas are not their primary targets what's happening in the guns seems to be pointing in exactly the opposite direction that we were local witness by far and here's how she described what you saw. you know the city came under mortar fire warnings were

issued twice during the day and we had to seek shelter on the ground according to people at the scene most victims have traffic that's the only truly torn apart. also the breeding forces have been patrolling this city and fire insurance in residential areas. now wherever you are you can always log onto our to dot com for the very latest updates and developments from ukraine our web team working around the clock to keep you updated. on. there's been more time can heavy machine gun fire on the israeli gaza border this morning since the ground offensive began on thursday over sixty palestinians have been killed over although we're looking at about three hundred ten have died since israeli shelling began last week most of the deaths are civilians the hospitals receive just study flow of injured all day on friday.

i. do. believe that. the little. one israeli soldier was killed on friday the second israeli casualty in the current conflict and prime minister benjamin netanyahu told why didn't the ground invasion the government says it aims to destroy the network of tunnels used by hamas to infiltrate israel meanwhile us president barack obama has warned against pushing the escalation too far the un says the number of palestinians now seeking shelter is nearly double reporting from gaza for r.t. is harry. while the streets of gaza remain empty throughout this morning after the

sun rose people here fear that this ground incursions will continue in the coming days people here do fear that the night the israeli ground invasion could step up. its operations into a new level which could be much more costly for the population of gaza including the civilian population but we decided to go to the hospital where we spoke to a hamas spokesperson and questioned him on this recent escalation. both your reaction to the israeli ground invasion of the gaza strip. people defending in order to pull all of these. by the british i get. introduced to give our own. finally i want to. be able to do the groups here have the capacity to actually deal with an israeli ground invasion we already.

throughout the world go to your third home. you would buy off you would be ok thank you very much for the time thank you ok thanks so that was found about whom he iterated the position that israel's ground invasion really is going to invoke civilian casualties in large numbers to use that it does have the capacity to defend the palestinian population here from an israeli ground invasion and. the israeli operation follows an egypt brokered truce which allowed some to get into gaza it would only last for five hours on thursday and exchange of fire began as soon as it ended early in my colleague o'neill spoke with ilana stein a deputy spokesperson for the israeli foreign ministry we asked exactly how a ceasefire could be followed immediately by an all out ground invasion. egyptians initiated a cease fire and we respected it and we didn't shoot and guess what kept on

shooting rockets at us and then there was a humanitarian ceasefire and we wanted the people in gaza to receive medical help to receive food through see all kinds of supplies they need and the hamas still kept firing at us surely your government for saw this huge terrible human cost fortunately yes you have one side who wants violence more violence and more death and you have us who are asking them please let's stop it even though this is very risky for us they're firing on you because they think you're firing on them first we're looking at this huge loss of life it is clearly a palestinians the pictures we've been showing and better spreading around the world by stepping up the operation aren't you simply pushing in this into a spiral of violence that who knows when it could end we don't want that violence but unfortunately this is hamas is mission just more and more by ok i think that's fine and i just remember saying the u.n.

international law israel is obliged to protect civilians in the occupied territories doesn't this violate what you're doing the responsibility you have towards the palestinians yes we have a responsibility. to civilians in general and that's what we do before we attack we have flyers that saying that we're going to attack and this and sometimes we also abort missions you can look it up in our websites we know we have pilots actually aborting missions because they're told that there are children nearby and even though the next day this can be mean that these places are going to launch missiles at us thanks for sharing some of your saturday with us here on off the international law researcher and moscow a very very short break here on the program and a special report on the thousands of civilians fleeing strikes leaving their homes behind.
