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 is some fifteen to twenty kilometers away from the crash site they're now being stored in that three refrigerated train cars that meanwhile alexander birdseye on 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 scan they're 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 now take

a look at bangkok the sequence of events in the lead up to the catastrophe malaysia airlines flight seventeen took off from amsterdam on thursday at twelve fifteen pm local time bound for kuala lumpur. or malaysia for twenty one kiev time it disappeared from radar coverage over ukraine and lost all radio contact within an hour the crash site was located and it became clear that no one had survived by eight in the evening in both kiev and anti-government troops have denied any involvement into the crash local militia insisted in fact they had no weapons even capable of shooting down an airliner and both sides started to trade accusations relatives of the victims were informed overnight in the process of identifying the bodies began local residents have been recalling the horror of that day. you solution a little caught i heard terrible noise i went out first and then my has been well

the woman fell to the ground right after i ran out at first my husband thought it was me. i was in shock i couldn't go further than my yard. 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 i saw 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 and this too that it was a human body without a leg and was arms twisted and broken. malaysia airlines has released of 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

were a malaysian there were also twenty seven australians travelling as well as citizens of the united kingdom indonesia and germany and total ten at nationalities are on the manifest for the netherlands it is a time of nationwide mourning as peter oliver reports. the devastating news no one expects to hear. malaysian boeing adeline has been reportedly downed based on a horse loiters and interfax a malaysian airlines flight with about two hundred ninety five people on board has crashed grief spills over as 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 facebook in the morning to see outside the nose of a flower. 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 are 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 has 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 us on. think about 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 peter all of

a netherlands and there are plenty of unexplained circumstances surrounding the tragedy first the fly deviated from its usual route it is also unclear why it passed directly over a zone of a raging armed conflict and there are also questions over why ukrainian ground control told the crew to reduce altitude just before the jet went down grieving families are now demanding explanations of what happened to their loved ones. brings us this report from malaysia. inside the kuala lumpur international airport right now nothing speaks of the horrible tragedy of the hours they'd 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 design asters 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. so those who believe. it's a good thing to plan. but if that 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 suggest the path could have been changed to three hundred kilometers further north. international civil aviation community. we're going to. carry. some carriers since we are. 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 a flight. to fly. so we have. indeed altitude change upon 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. of the russian president has flown to 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 is ramped up for his part the british prime minister insisted that if it is shown and fighters in east ukraine down the aircraft it would be a direct result of russia's support for them david cameron's comments follow a wave of accusations from western powers against moscow as damage a cat reports. 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 association 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 t.v. 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 with such immigrants why did creating an air traffic controller send a passenger flights to an area of military clashes dishes 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 kidd was quick to blame the anti-government forces for the tragedy here is what the accusations are based on firstly there is a video released by kiev purporting to show a book a surface to air missile system in eastern ukraine and having one of its rockets missing also the jet crashed on territory controlled by the opposition kiev claims that that is 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 and which they allegedly admit to firing on the plane but speech and sound analyst nicholai popof says the recording has been doctored. or it's being presented as one on

it it's recorded in reality the sort if it was compiled out of several fragments at the time because the inconsistent part where it is being said the plane was downed by cossacks these monkeys reveal that one fragment was recorded at sixteen thirty three and that the second fragment which comes right off towards it was recorded at seventeen fifteen. well as far as the video of the missile system goes kidd claims that was shot in a small town near the russian border but local state you can see on the billboard and address which is actually located in a different part of a different town actually different part of the country and it is been under the control of the ukrainian army since may and is located two hundred fifty kilometers away from the russian border intelligence expert charles troubridge points out some other discrepancies in kiev's accusations as well. one could say from the outset with some investigation the air of ground from which it was launched and of course

that would give an indication even though it's accepted i think. in much of east ukraine is in a fluid situation in terms of who controls what any given time the ukraine government has released what it claims are a number of evidence relates for example it is said that the rebels have these weapon systems i should point out that of course the prosecutor general himself the night the rebels 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. and shortly after the plane crash of all mainstream media outlets latched on to the message coming from washington in kiev unleashing a storm of accusations against ukraine's anti-government forces and against moscow as well we asked load of a new state journalist and former security consultant why the finger of blame is being pointed so quickly. i think if they did if it's considered this too good an

opportunity to once again play the blame game on the russia and on the insurgency in the east of ukraine i meant and it's too good an opportunity to miss the relatives and the victims of a thorough investigation by an independent sources. when you say evidence this is something that is produced by experts on the ground it takes weeks and months before you continue on to any conclusions to whatever is being said not is just speculation to a political and it's. coming up in of the program as more devastation is brought on gaza obtained exclusive pictures some of viewers and may find them distressing. my dear your mother. the moment a palestinian is shot a reporter on the ground will be providing all details. now of

next katie pilbeam takes a look at how u.s. sanctions against russia are disrupting the global financial markets in venture capital. i wonder if allegations of propaganda also represent a form of propaganda because what you do is essentially diligent to my i think this force without looking at the context without looking at the balance on the information that's not what i think the real problem i think the political currents came into play which distorted the old homes all over ukraine crisis somebody take a sudden credit. i'm not blaming one side either in you to be avoided most of you know i'm god i'm basically sourcing the whole of the reporting. tonight and i think there's a need for the more of a public discussion about. lead

. choose your language. we could know if there is still some of the. truth is good it's good consistent you. choose the opinions that degrade to. choose to stories that imply the. truth be a success off switch. hello welcome to venture capital with me to go away this week in the business world we witnessed the creation of a great bank in brazil also coming up in corporate news across styles as well as travel chaos for robson's and diamond trading but the russian market is

slumped to this week in reaction to a new u.s. sanctions the company has targeted dropped the ruble declined and the russian my sex life to a six week low as investors lost confidence and as international tensions intensified with the tragic malaysia plane crash the global markets once again panicked as far as the sanctions are concerned the country's a major banks and energy companies were targeted as well as the russian defense ministry i'm now joined by alexander proles vehicle for more analysis on how russia will be affected and indeed the u.s. companies tell me and michelle market reaction what was your reaction to it well there was a we will think about first minutes of the first hour as we sort of markets collapse in terms of the russian bar equities and the ruble of what the make even though it was after the sanctions. bill and you know we saw some paragraph sort of

plane crash story after it was in after more history the number markets still three percent or four percent but the warst from the sensual so it was like a seven percent drop we sure will fall about two percent but as we see things the fall of the plane crash the market actually started to rebound from the low. to the stabilization going on in the street it was in a little bit there a few factors first of all there is not much for money in the markets anymore a lot of forms are in the stores that are left over from the core new situation. they were on officially forced to sell their russian holdings not only and i could use them but once there if we look at the ruble the people started to panic because they still something's going to happen like sanctions the bulls will be started to buy dollars and you will definitely the people bought more than twelve billion dollars cash if we compare that to last year it will be one billion dollars while times more these are the people holding the dollar cash at the moment in the receipt of the ruble is actually strengthening and what do people do they look at

the deposits raise the rates are much bigger than the dollar raise and they're holding dollars are not rising anymore the rates are low they are have are there or they want to go back into rubles so this is actually what started this way we see that with the devil strengthening. these are one the other is that this is one of the factors other factors we see that inflation is picking up of our share of the picks up people tend to spend more because their savings basically just inflate the weight what can we expect on monday for the markets and. i think markets will stabilize and if we look at the equities they will use our already if we compare them to say breaks to central from europe and to turkey these are this is what we compare them to they are a sixty percent cheaper in terms of price but equities in a forward looking twelve months basis will they be i will look for both of us some likes morals and make it work because of the even though said more than seven percent of dollars and its leader has the fastest growth rate of the p.s. so it is one of the best stocks and we have some of those on the market and people

tend to invest in the old and they don't really look at the sanctions because they look at the fundamentals so sanctions that how serious are they for the russian economy they are pretty serious because we're much closer to the third phase of the sanctions that was discussed by obama recently we're not there yet because we see that your opinions are not really supporting the sanctions and i want to because they will hurt their economy obviously prices the russian economy our business that exactly how europe is so dispersed we see some some of the nations who want the sanctions and i and some who realize that the will so much harder. their countries are home countries they've been lost for them yet but the us is really pushing. it was already pushing for the third phase of sanctions what would be that what would that entail do you think it will block all the possibilities to attract foreign funding for the russian companies so we're now we're now we are already not able to protect funding for. those four companies that were sanctions in a in the last week of this week yet but hopefully they are still u.s.

businesses can deal with them one of the bases does not block six can do together still they can do you want to be since they can give them funding up to ninety the strike is a above my means is this is the long term investments that at the prop that are being targeted you're looking for as these companies who are on the least they don't need any funding because if we're looking for mobile tech for example they need to pay this year just one billion rubles and they have free cash on the recounts forty three billion rubles already so this is just a small portion of what the they have for this year so this plenty of money on the balance sheet for these companies yeah but there must be some effect otherwise mr obama wouldn't be doing this would take it as a clear sign that we're getting ready to isolate you from the rest of the world the rest of the world doesn't want to see us isolate. that. if the third. phrase comes of the sanctions of course is going on is going to hurt the economy

because we will have to find ways to finance the bears that we have overall have a little more than six hundred million billion dollars of debt in the long term and our reserves are approximately four hundred billion dollars so we will carry them over pretty solid terms of our fiscal policy in terms of the houses that we hold as a complete even though considering the private sector debt but still it's going to be of course it will hurt the markets and when we took but they said round obviously we've had the tragedy of the plane crash as we know i if we talk about the third round what the. third round ever reach the stage the iran is out with embargoes and sanctions or is that why in the future i think that's a sanction i think it's way in the future because russia is not really doing anything that might provoke would have. even if we look at the ukraine situation obviously russia wants peace there in this case all the international events has been saying that all we want you guys is to sort of the table discuss we don't want

of this war games is going on and what happened to the plane crash i don't know who is responsible what yet but i think that the control of the air security of the people who are the planes fly above this war zone normally in the planes has been have been hit this week and last week why why why should the. planes fly there so maybe it was possible too but in case like you know like he wanted clinton said this week if there is a linkage to russia of this attack europe should have sanctions on gospel it's hard to understand how last one was. once it was that responsible for that but so that's what she said because economic sanctions in her view will hurt russia in a pretty russia means that the war will stop i need to go to weapon is there an economic sanction if you will in his times of war thank you so much indeed the coming into the studio today really appreciate that alexander prince vehicle and here is my pleasure thank you. the brics bank was launched this

week that will and to change the globe's financial link the structure the development bank will rival the i.m.f. or the world bank and office a port to the emerging economies the development bank will have additional capital of fifty billion dollars that could rise to one hundred billion funded equally by each nation if we had cause it in shanghai china with the president c initially held by india there will also be i reserve funds for the five bric members. as a mini i.m.f. i spent a professor of economics well enough suffa his take on the significance of this new financial institution i think that is actually increases their potential influence at the world bank and the i.m.f. which is what i think that they also just one of their goals their goals is to creatively depended pieces for financial action.
