over eighty palestinians have been killed by israeli strikes since saturday night the i.d.f. expounds its ground offensive. wherever you're watching from in the world welcome to moscow and to our international i'm you know neal this is the weekly or top story european monitors from the us the working at the crash site of the malaysian passenger jet in eastern ukraine say local militia groups and letting them access the area earlier government forces said the flight recorders have been found and will be handed over to international experts from cos raf is following the clean up act. oh i see members who are observing the situation on the ground to have said that they have unlimited access to this search area where the flights and they haven't seen was

down they are now being held by the locals quite a bit so we covered a wider area we visited a site that we hadn't visited before. we had fairly good perimeter security. and you know there they did seem to provide us with a kind of a ring of security to allow us to to do the monitoring that we have to doing while eighty one strong team of international experts are still in kiev there yet to get here or they haven't even contacted the local authorities all the self-proclaimed to people's republic to all done that scare even though they are just seven hundred kilometers away and it's been four days after the crash and now in terms of recovery efforts all the bodies there was quite a bit of controversy about that well and xander bird died the leader of the self-proclaimed people's republic said the bodies had been recovered out of moral responsibility so they were relatives of the victims because they already began to

decompose and always see members have confirmed that those bodies have been delivered to the city of seoul or as some fifteen to twenty kilometers away from the crash site they're now being stored in at three refrigerated train cars that meanwhile alexander birdseye on a sunday also announced that they had discovered some technical elements that resemble the black boxes so flights and seven c. and those elements had not been delivered to the on net scanned they are now on their guard right here and he also added that they will only be given to the international aviation experts once they arrive here in donetsk. in the past number of hours the russian president fill in the u.k. prime minister to offer his condolences over the british citizens who lost their lives in the crash he also warned against making politicized conclusions before the probe wraps up and once again reiterated his belief that the military conflict in ukraine is at the core of the tragedy let's article

a look back at the sequence of events in the lead up to the catastrophe in malaysia airlines flight seventeen took off from amsterdam on thursday at twelve fifteen local time dawn for a kuala lumpur at four twenty one key of time it disappeared from radar coverage over ukraine and all radio contact was lost within an hour the crash site was located and it became clear no one had survived by eight in the evening both kiev government troops denying involvement in the crash local militia insisted they had no weapons capable of shooting down the airliner on both sides started to trade accusations relatives of the victims were informed overnight and the process of identifying the bodies began local residents have been recalling the horror of that day he's lucia little i had a terrible noise i went out first and then my husband well the woman fell to the ground right after i ran out i first my husband thought it was me i was in shock

i couldn't go further than my yeah and. 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 and the legs were broken no sort practically no blood. at first i didn't notice any of them 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 add this to that it was a human body without a leg and his arms twisted and broken. malaysia airlines has released the full list of passengers on board the ill fated flight two thirds of them one hundred ninety three were dutch nationals forty three victims including all crew members where malaysian were also twenty seven australians travelling as well as citizens of the

united kingdom indonesia and germany in total of ten nationalities are on the mana fest for the netherlands it's a time of nationwide mourning as peter all of the reports. the devastating news no one expects to hear. malaysian boeing adeline has been reportedly downed based on a voyage hers 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 on site 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 and is told 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 i have very much. because especially for me. it's really. strange because my father i've been on the this same flight many times. from the it's so shocking so many dutch people were on that plane this tragedy has affected our song. think about it it's not realistic people just the public airplane taking it out 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 teacher all of our party netherlands now there are plenty of unexplained circumstances

surrounding the tragedy firstly the flight deviated from its usual route it's also unclear why it passed directly over the zone of a raging armed conflict and there are questions over why ukrainian ground control told the crew to reduce the altitude just before the jet went down grieving families are demanding explanations of what happened to their loved ones and brings this report from malaysia. 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

. and didn't see by the local school. speed so. we need. to get to that. 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 set route but flight tracker data published online suggests the path could have been changed to three hundred kilometers further north. carry. some carries. very safe flying. across ukraine but if the flight trajectory is more a matter over speculation right now one alteration it made has been officially

confirmed as the flight. but. still we have. 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 relatives 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. reporting from kuala lumpur in malaysia. britain's prime minister claims that if it's show and not the rebels in east ukraine in new york craft then this would be a direct result of russia's support for anti-government forces david cameron's comments follow a wave of accusations from western powers against moscow even though no official

investigation has yet been conducted you can take up the story. before investigators made it to the crash site the u.s. announced to the world where the deadly missile shot came from 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 accuse the rebels in eastern ukraine and russia by so ca sion 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 sophisticated

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 jim greatest idea why did you create an air traffic controller send a passenger flights to an area of military clashes my dish is 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. . after the plane came down in kiev was quick to blame the government forces for the tragedy here was the accusations are based on firstly there is

a video released by kiev reporting to show a book surface to air missile system in eastern ukraine with one of its rockets missing also a jet crashed on territory controlled by the opposition kiev claims about enough to implicate them even though the ukrainian army also has a heavy presence there and finally ukraine circulated what it called an intercepted conversation between the opposition fighters in which they allegedly admit to firing on the plane but speech unsigned i'm listening. well the recording was doctored it's not. being presented as. so in reality this sort of was compiled out of several fragments of the time because the inconsistent being said the plane was downed by cossacks so these monkeys reveal that one fragment is recorded at sixteen thirty three and that the second frog news which comes right off to his was recorded at seventeen fifteen. on

this far as the video of the missile system goes kiev claims that was shot in a small town near the russian border but local state you can see an address on the billboard which is actually located in a different town which they say had also been under the control of the crimean army since may look it around two hundred fifty kilometers away from the russian border intelligence expert charles shoot bridgepoint some other discrepancies in kiev's accusations. one could say from the outset with some investigation the air of ground from which it was launched and of course that was an indication even though it's accepted i think if you put it much of east ukraine is in a fluid situation in terms of who controls what and given time the current government has released what it claims are a number of evidence surely it's for example it is said that the rebels have these weapon systems i should point out that of course the prosecutor general himself. have this 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. shortly after the plane crash several mainstream media outlets lodged onto the message coming from washington and kiev a storm of accusations against ukrainians government forces against moscow for more on the war of words let's bring in paul craig roberts a former official in the reagan administration. why do you think the media and certain politicians are so quick to blame rebels for dining the plane and indirectly russia as well. as. attack russian. that has been going on for a long time and the term moral in the ukraine is entirely blamed on russia in the american press as far as washington is concerned.

no one is responsible except russia and so this downing of the airliner now serves the propaganda onslaught against russia and against president putin of russia. that washington is conducting. kiev has also put forward a handful of on confirmed video with an audio recordings as evidence that the rebels are to be and just how credible in your opinion is that evidence well according to the reports i've seen and the expert analysis it has no credibility whatsoever and the real question is why would there be a fait biddy oh all we're ready in order to blame russia that implied it's that the chair is responsible for the downing

all the airliner and that it was done in order to frame up russia is very curious that there would be a video on you to before the information reaches kiev or y.c. them and since the video has been discredited by experts the implication is that this was something done intentionally in order to frame russia mr roberts we've also been hearing contradicting statements from ukrainian officials on whether they militants have a long range book missile system are not can they really not be sure of that. i think that they are sure and i think we know for a fact that there was a ukrainian missile system present and the question is why would it be present because the separatists have no air force. so why have

a missile system in a combat zone that has no military purpose and why have it positioned where it where it could be overrun and captured by militants or very expensive systems so the real question is what was that missile system doing in that location that's a very important question we know for a fact that the so call separatists do not have those extensive systems and do not have the training to operate them and we also know that the separatists and the russian government have no incentive to shoot down an airliner so they have nothing to gain from it so it's an obvious situation and not of course the international investigation happens do you believe it will be objective when it starts a fight it depends on who controls it. if washington controls

it or the british are important and it will not be objective because it will be used to prove that russert guilty so it's very important who controls this investigation. the trouble with putin's diplomacy is that he is that diplomacy assume that he's dealing with people who are interested in truth and who have good will. why should intention is to blame russia not to spy on the troops or to resolve the problem so it's a dangerous their best against it is dangerous unless it is conducted an objective led by people who are independent of washington paul craig roberts former reagan administration official great to get your take on the situation this hour thank you so coming up in the program as more devastation is brought on gas r.t.

obtained exclusive pictures some viewers may find them distressing. the moment of a palestinian being hit by gunfire our reporter on the ground we'll be providing all the details. on merit in the final. act developments cannot stop only take credit. in life. their offer.

this is about making the business survive. corporations don't love your parishioners don't eat for parishioners have no feeling. for parishioners don't care about you or me corp was the only cure for. people come to untouched forests and leave massively in the sea come on. we're not going to quit we will not stop until it is done what is more precious music more moving. this is our to international welcome back the israeli prime minister has vowed to

continue operation protective edge for and i quote just as long as it takes a humanitarian truce between gaza and militants on this release is now over their sides earlier agreed to a lot of the red cross to get the data on injured out of the worst hit areas in eastern gaza on sunday the i.d.f. launched an aerial bombardment of the area killing at least eighty seven civilians locals say there are bodies strewn up on the streets and in the rubble of collapsed buildings they also say the sheer the struction is making it very difficult to retrieve them eighteen israeli soldiers have been killed since the assault began but that is dwarfed by the number of palestinian fatalities now and more than four hundred thirty. our correspondent has just sent us a particularly disturbing if you are from the heart of the conflict and a warning it does contain prophet scenes. well that's what we do now was we're going to move but. when we're going.

to lose. you know look. this footage of partly shows a man among the ruins of destroyed residential buildings he's thought to be the target of government gunfire lying on the ground reportedly trying to take cover he receives a direct fatal tare here talk to a witness of the accident. a group of international solidarity activists and two palestinians were making a trip into the east. very close to the border with israel this was at a time when there was a hoax on israel's operations in the area there were two palestinians the. activists which shot the video the images that you just saw and that was enough a young man we believe approximately eighteen or nineteen years old the one of the pictured in the imagery which shows him of course fatally wounded and dying in front of these international solidarity activists this young gentleman wished to

take these activists to this area in order to help evacuate his family which he believed was caught up and had been pinned down essentially for hours it is extremely dangerous neighborhoods i'm joined now by a human rights activist and witness. can you tell us exactly what you saw with respect to the death of this young man. with respect to the death all together there were full shots fired the first one missed him but the remainder three were aimed for him the second one was fatal. which caused him to fall down on the ground and the third one was i guess for them to make sure that they had got to him basically do you have any reason to believe he was caught up in minutes and turning to or to say no not at all he was as far as we are aware he was looking for his family he was frantic he was he was leading the way he was on the floor and he knew

the every other kind of you would want to do is find his grammy resulted in his death there was supposed to be a cease fire as well. as we said into the region there was bombing nearby there was shelling nearby and snipers shooting yes indeed so that some of the detail of this incident on show you kidding this young gentleman this off to a. party for your reporting while in this really defense force spokes person assisted to me earlier but they're going to great lengths not to hit civilians me the mosque minister of the interior specifically instructed the civilian population in gaza not to leave their homes not to leave the instructions not to follow the instructions of the military provided what you knew these innocent people were in their homes and yet you still decided to strike was not your decision we provided as much warning as we could and at the end we had to attack certain targets that are resulting in the terrorise ation of our entire public and one of the latest attacks really. shelves with spray are thousands of tiny and potentially lethal

metal we've seen that some rules of humanitarian law render their use in the gaza strip illegal as an imprecise weapon is more likely to result in civilian injuries which of course we have seen in spades why do you ignore international law in this case you can say with full confidence and with full sincerity that any weapon that is being used by the i.d.f. is done so in line with international law and we're seeing hospitals schools media offices essentially sick people children and the ordinary working man and woman being hit in these places you know overwhelmingly why is this they're not being targeted and the reason the reason that they are not leaving and following the instructions they get that we are giving them is because hamas finds it in its assets to leave them in these areas the palestinian bloodbath has created ripples worldwide. pro palestinian

demonstrators in parks were tear gassed afterthoughts and flooded into the streets angry a ban on m t s really protests imposed by the authorities there clashed with riot police and in london thought turned out to voice their anger over the invasion into gaza while in berlin people took up the mantle in support for palestine with a thousand strong turnout chilly a strain on the us so people overflowing in the streets protesting against israeli aggression on the loss of innocent lives france based independent journalist robert harness sees the one sided media coverage of the conflict in the west is only fueling discontent. it seeks public it's ironic is that it has been sensitized by western governments. the government should behave responsibly just as we've heard enough about that aid it's a case of ukraine to be so depressed go to. israel

apparently it's personal right today to go to gaza killed people. is it be very careful baby don't be so very careful i mean people are now up to these sort of people who are demonstrating in paris they were young people they wanted to extremists most of there are a few tools to use trouble but most as of late they get their information to explain what's going. to. the beach world why now there is a section of the community that is well it does not mean she stood by the west you just highly biased you just. stay with our to international for more of the week's top stories but up next kitty pilgrim takes a look at how u.s. sanctions against russia are disrupting global financial markets its venture capital.
