real discussion critical. ready to join the movement. of. today's news on the week's top stories on our international. involvement. and even before the start of. the. controlled by resistance forces. one of the worst accident. during the morning rush hour.

with. three hundred forty. welcome to the international. remains of two hundred ninety eight people these are the scenes from the. crash of a malaysian passenger jet in east ukraine eighty of those on board what children now russia and the u.n. . investigation and its team arrived at the site on friday. reports locals say international involvement has actually been very slow in coming . situation here the plane crash site is certainly a different from what we encountered say in the first and the second day the area

is now cordoned off by plainclothes militia i imagine and the bodies of the victims of the bodies have been taken away. for the self-defense forces in control of this area say they've made several appeals to the international community to get it seem of the experts here as soon as possible sense of urgency is boosted by this year it's some thirty degrees and the bodies of the victims are starting to decompose rapidly. we want a comprehensive and objective investigation but we don't feel like there's enthusiasm on the international community and experts several dozen experts are currently in kiev we're asking them please come here faster we are surprised and frankly angered that we have to keep the area untouched while we've been waiting for them for so long meanwhile kiev has already rushed to accuse the end to

government forces of meddling with a crash scene on. the pro russian fighters are not allowing investigators to collect and transfer the evidence they're also not letting search and rescue groups leave the area the groups are currently working under the threat of armed force. since then the self-proclaimed republics have said they will guarantee the safety of international experts but for now the only international group to make it to the scene of the crash is their organization for security and cooperation in europe the always see but it seems that right now they can do a little but stand by and watch although there is very little as we've reported there's very little security on the perimeter of the cross site we did notice that when he arrived today there was a cordon of armed security personnel both sides of the road when the process was basically as follow is that people go out to spot the body be photographed take

video with it and then the body is placed in the back and put beside the roadway is a brief from the plane is screwed over it's once a kilometer radius which is likely to slow down the investigation and that large area is right in the middle of the conflict zone all this means that a clear analysis of how this plane came to crash in the field in eastern ukraine is unlikely to come soon if indeed it comes at all and that is a heavy burden for many of the relatives of the victims who planned to come here to the scene of the disaster from on costs or of eastern ukraine let's take a look at the chronology of the events in the run up to the crash it was twelve fifteen pm local time the plane left kuala lumpur for twenty one pm ukrainian time all radio and radar contact lost with the flight within the hour the crash site was located and there were no survivors by eight pm both kiev government troops had denied shooting down the plane instead pinning the blame on each other and the

process of identifying the victims because leaving malaysian airlines or thora to use or to notify hundreds of grief stricken relatives and leaving those who witnessed the crash well in a state of shock. you solution little i heard terrible noise i went out first and then my husband the woman fell to the ground right after i ran out i was in shock i couldn't go further than my yard but. as soon as we went out of the house we saw a body lying nearby it must have fallen from a very high altitude now you can smell the odor over here there are no words to describe it finally we were swimming and we heard three distinct shots actually not sure it's more like explosions and then we saw the plane falling its wing was falling off and then we saw a black smoke and that's all that of the floor yes first i didn't notice anything my son went out and said mom there's

a body in the kitchen and there was plaster everywhere i thought it was just a pile of rubbish but then i understood it was a human body without a leg and with arms twisted and broken it's a murder a real murder for malaysian airlines the plane crash of m.h. seventeen is the second disaster in less than five months it was march that flight three seventy disappeared on his way to beijing and both cases have left certainly more questions than answers artie's alexis a chef skiis in kuala lumpur. inside the kuala lumpur international airport right now nothing speaks of the horrible tragedy of thursday it works without disruptions this is different to the situation in march when the other malaysian airlines jet went missing relatives of those on board were literally beseeching the malaysian airlines offices back then they still had hope of seeing their loved ones alive. there's no chance of that for the families connected to thursday's tragedy over ukraine but what unites the two apparently different disasters is the fact there

are far more questions than answers starting with the mh seventeen jets flight path you move. and didn't see by the local school and never. believe. that you can see the plane. but if that route was safe and many other jets had flown it on the day why had several airlines decided to change their paths malaysian authorities claim the plane was flying on a sat route but flight tracker data published online suggests the path could have been changed to three hundred kilometers further north. community. carry. some carries. very safe.

cross. but if the flight trajectory is more a matter of speculation right now one alteration it made has been officially confirmed as the flight. so we have to be and. indeed altitude changes on request is a common practice but the malaysian authorities have received no clarification as to why it was ordered on that day supposedly minutes before the jet went down most religious of the passengers of m.h. seventeen have now gone to ukraine to identify the bodies a team of malaysian investigators is following them in the hope of shedding at least some light on this dark story. the reporting from kuala lumpur in malaysia. let's take a detailed look at the area where m.h. seventeen came down so right over here the little town there it is where most of

the deborah has been found and the plane came from the northwest and ultimately flew almost over the entire conflict zone that includes two former hotspots. now major ukrainian army outposts the crash site is almost directly between the regional capitals of dawn yet scandal gallants so we're talking about this area right here kiev and anti-government forces have engaged in some of the fiercest fighting over their airports and. is about i was just a few kilometers away from the border with russia. that's been shelled by the ukrainian army numerous times this week in the neighboring town of noir an airstrike destroyed or. eventually building killing at least eleven. well so far there's no conclusive evidence when ukraine is claiming that anti-government forces shot down the plane kiev is basing its accusations on several bits of verified information shortly after the jet went down ukraine circulated what it called

a leaked phone call which the opposition fighters allegedly admit to shooting down the plane a video released by kiev purports to show a book mobile surface to air missile system in eastern ukraine allegedly with one of its missiles missing and the plane crashed on territory controlled by the opposition claims that's enough to implicate them despite the fact the ukrainian armed forces also have a very heavy presence there i want to be asian expert told us the plane could only have been shot down by professionals going through you probably for six months in a. home or trained by event person because it's probably complex system it's not just say. everything happens you have to be able to operate or i do not follow the target and then shoot down once the missile and you can extract it only to tori so that person not really need to know how to operate you

know. what here's a list of the nationalities of those on board the ill fated aircraft the majority one hundred ninety three dutch forty three victims all crew members were malaysian twenty seven australians are nationals from britain germany the philippines and indonesia the plane crash is one of the biggest ever modern tragedies for the netherlands and here's artie's peter all of. the devastating news no one expects to hear a. malaysian boeing airline has been reportedly downed based on a reuters and interfax a malaysian airlines flight with about two hundred ninety five people on board has crashed grief spills over his family and friends of those on board m.h. seventeen make it to the airport in amsterdam at the scene of the crash passports strewn among the carnage each one a painful reminder of a person who died and each of those people leave behind friends and family it's in

small communities like this one that have been directly affected that the real human tragedy becomes clear neil tall and her partner course children were on the flight outside the flower shop they owned floral tributes pile up those who saw them day on day a left stunned we couldn't believe what's happened. rumors spread quickly on the facebook in the morning to see outside then those are the flowers. then you know it's it happened for real in the shop window a sign for the postman drop the mail off next door we're on holiday there were very lovely people and. you know i did want to just to just enjoy a holiday for two weeks and come back and say to pick up the post and i had a great holiday before stepping on the plane shoulder posted this message on facebook it's understood ms toll had been uneasy about the flight following the

disappearance of a malaysian airlines jet early at this year. family members stand sobbing in front of a book of condolences they told me they just can't bring themselves to speak on camera it's not only those who lost relatives in the tragedy who were grieving the netherlands is in a state of disbelief following the deaths of nearly two hundred of its citizens in the disaster we were all shocked and they're very much. because especially for me. it's really. strange because my father and mother have been on the this same flight many times. it's so shocking so many dutch people were on that plane this tragedy has affected our song i. think about it's not realistic people just the public airplane taking it down in this small country

of only seventeen million people it seems nearly everyone has been touched in some way by this the worst disaster to affect the country in its recent history peter all of our party netherlands if it is proven that resistance fighters in east ukraine did down the m. age seventeen that is a direct result of russia destabilizing a sovereign state and supporting anti government fighters well that's at least the view of the british prime minister david cameron in the blame game started even before the beginning of an official investigation guy nature can has more. before investigators made it to the crash site the u.s. announced to the world where the deadly missile shot came from the evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by a surface to air missile that was launched from an area that is controlled by russian backed separatists inside of ukraine but the u.s. president stopped short of saying who pulled the trigger we don't know exactly what

happened and yet u.s. officials all but to cues the rebels in eastern ukraine and russia by so see a showing of having shot down the plane president obama based his suggestions on incidents of ukrainian military jets that the rebels recently shot out of the sky a group of separatists can't shoot down. military transport planes or they claim shoot down fighter jets without sophisticated equipment and training and that is coming from russia russia says kiva is responsible because it launched this military operation in eastern ukraine and the u.s. supported it moscow has also raised a number of questions for kiev to answer including why it hadn't closed the airspace over what was clearly a war zone is a jim gray idea why did he create an air traffic controller send a passenger flights to an area of military clashes an area which was used to carry out strikes against civilian targets and where there were anti-aircraft systems

operating all members of the un security council including russia and the united states have called for a credible impartial investigation of the disaster it will take time before any results come through but the blame game is already in full swing down to check on washington d.c. . coming up after the break here on r.t. international a bloody onslaught with no end in sight as the israeli palestinian conflict escalates even further we look at the young and vulnerable of gaza who are suffering the most and the effects.

thanks for joining us here on oxy international this week ukrainian forces moved closer to the regional centers of east ukraine and. their approach was marked by the firing about celery shells people living their lives in the shadow of air raid sirens and shooting on the streets at least sixteen civilians died after being hit . broad daylight dozens of buildings including a church were seriously damaged the total number of lives lost in the new gun scariest since early june has now reached two hundred fifty that's. if there is a god now what's the scene at the moment looks like a calm day. well it is it does look like a calm day but it's just the beginning of it so it is not yet clear what's going to

happen since residents of logan's care of reported hearing air raid sirens again again last night and they're saying that fighting continues on the outskirts of the city now according to self-defense forces ukrainian troops are gaining ground seeking to take control over the road that is connecting the gods condone it which is cities that are essentially capitals of the two restive regions. varying their brawn to off the assault by the ukrainian army this city has been heavily hit its infrastructure damaged people are saying they're left without virtually tricity gas is also something they're hiding shortage off of course they're there instances of people being hit in the middle of the day by artillery and mortar shells at one instance eight people have died similar tenuously when a shell has hit a cross walk now there is also fighting being reported in done yet it's called though to a lesser extent at this point and it seems to be happening only all need outskirts of the city now as you have mentioned two hundred fifty have died just over the

course of seven weeks beginning in june that was the number that was presented by the always and previously two hundred fifty was the number of civilian casualties that was given for the entire duration of the conflict in southeastern ukraine but now we proly you'll have to assume that that number is a lot higher than the fighting continues and at times it can be heard on the border between russia and ukraine with residents complaining about shells flying into their backyards essentially and despite the fact that petro poroshenko has assured that civilians are not going to be the. targets of ukrainian military nevertheless they seem to be bearing the brunt of off the pressure and when exactly and if this conflict is going to end is not yet clear with of course the world's attention being on the aftermath off the disaster of flight m.h. seventeen the fighting. that doesn't seem to subside. there along the russia ukraine border thank you. now as arena just mentioned let's

show you some pictures from yet scare a city that not too long ago a host of matches in the euro two thousand and twelve football championship now it bears the scars of shelling by the ukrainian army one of the buildings it was a kinda got people that told us they have nowhere to go and they feel helpless. if you look at the shrapnel a joint shell landed here in the place on fire killing the people who lives here houses nearby was damaged this five story building was badly damaged the windows had gone to the authorities doing. i don't know what to do next to where to go. in response to an increase in pressure from washington over the crisis in ukraine russia has twelve u.s. nationals from entering the country of them were allegedly involved in torture at guantanamo bay all the others are accused of having links to the abuse of detainees at abu ghraib prison in iraq the move comes days after america imposed

a new set of sanctions on russian companies you can always read much more on line at r.t. dot com and many stories for you for example convert pay or die. now no room for christians in a rocky city that's now part of the so-called islamic state can learn all about the . new rules via our website. over two hundred lunar caves. could make moon of colonization much easier now says. also. thanks for joining us here on the program one of the worst crashes in the history of the moscow metro shook the capital just on tuesday this week three subway cars derailed after coming to an abrupt stop during the morning rush hour more than twenty people were killed one hundred fifty taken to hospital still many of them in intensive care. footage now of the aftermath.

here i. go. i. took emergency workers three days to remove the wreckage and carry out repairs allowing traffic on the metro line. a one eyewitness recounts the accident with horror. i was thrown into the air there was blood on the floor heads some people had broken ribs and one person was injured all in all people were hysterical we started to get out we saw a door in the tunnel wall men eventually broke the door and we saw workers constructing a parallel tom they helped us to get out. there are a number of theories of how a decade old railway section became the scene of such

a deadly accident so far investigators believe a faulty switch was to blame while to metro workers have been detained over safety preachers. it's also international israel has expanded its ground operation in gaza sending additional forces into the area residents there say recent attacks with the heaviest so far in the southern town of shelling killed four palestinians and hospitals in gaza are struggling to cope with the influx of injured severely. was the was . was. it.

israel is defending its actions by saying it needs to root out how must lead those through targeting the homes and underground tunnels the landing coersion of serve failed to subdue the militants who say they are ready for a proto longwood conflict the escalation is that three israeli soldiers and two israeli civilians dead old diplomatic efforts to end the fighting have also failed and with borders sealed off gazans have no place to go long school bachman's and the ensuing ground invasion of now killed over three hundred sixty five. it was on wednesday the israeli palestinian conflict took the lives of four young palestinian boys they were shelled as they were playing football on a gaza beach and warning you may find some of the upcoming pitches to stopping. now they died on a clear and sunny afternoon in an area regarded as one of the safest in gaza and israeli ship apparently fired on the beach right where the children were playing

some other kids who were injured managed to reach shelter at a nearby hospital excuse me hotel i should say of the four boys who didn't make it to safety well they were all relatives. and these are the grieving family members of the children the woman a moment ago the mother of one of the boys funerals held in gaza just hours after they died both israel and hamas agreed to a humanitarian cease fire after the incident but that only lasted five hours in fact an israeli defense spokesperson that we had a chat with insisted that israel goes to great lengths to never hit civilians and we do not shoot targets in the new or any way or form or civilians. how must terrorists and the idea for peroration is ongoing in order to restore safety and security for the state of israel decided to have an onslaught against against the states with israel and indeed even when we held on stations yesterday for six hours

they continued to bombard israel. indiscriminately and we were left basically with no alternative thank you joining us here at r.t. international more news of the latest from eastern ukraine coming off the wall at the top of the hour.

i'm abby martin the stories we cover here in auckland here in iraq separate story. there's a reason they don't want to do now. is that we don't think. now let's break the set. so the way i feel when i see a ship playing violent all the trees. it makes my heart break. because there's nothing left to take it they're going to come back far more. corporations to love corporations told hate corporations have no feelings
