european monitors from the o s a c e working at the crash site of the malaysia air waves passenger jet in eastern ukraine say local militia groups have now given them access to the area earlier anti-government forces said the flight recorders had been found and will be handed over to international experts mancow sort of is following the cleanup efforts. oh i see members who are observing the situation on the ground to have said that they have access to this search area where the flights and major seventeen was downs they 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 international experts are still in they have there yet to get here or they haven't even contacted the local authorities all the self-proclaimed people's republic golf and that's here 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 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 say he also added that they will only be given to the

international aviation experts once they arrive here in donetsk. let's now take a look back at the sequence of events in the lead up to the catastrophe blaser airlines flight seventeen took off from amsterdam on thursday at twelve fifteen pm local time bound for kuala lumpur malaysia now at four twenty one kiev 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 that no one had survived by eight in the evening both kiev and anti-government troops had both denied involvement in the crash local militia insisted that they didn't even have the weapons capable of shooting down an airliner and both sides started to trade accusations that's when the blame game began 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. a little i had 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 aren't. 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 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 two that it was a human body without a leg and was arms twisted and broken. malaysia airlines has released a 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 malaysian there were also twenty seven australians travelling as well as citizens of the united kingdom indonesia and germany in total ten 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 airline has been reportedly downed based on a horse. 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 to tall and her partner course children on the flight outside the flower shop they owned floral tributes pile up those who saw them day on day 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 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 has been on this this same flight many times. from that it's so shocking so many dutch people were on that plane this tragedy has affected our song. 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 party netherlands and there are plenty of unexplained circumstances surrounding of the tragedy first the fly deviated from its usual route it is also unclear why it passed over a zone of raging armed conflict and there are also questions over why ukrainian ground control told the crew to reduce altitude just before the flight went down grieving families are now demanding explanations of what happened to their loved ones. 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 a different 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 pool and never. will 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 set route but flight tracker data published online suggests the path could have been changed to three hundred kilometers further north. international civil aviation community. we are going to.

carry. some carriers since we know. you're very safe flying even many months ago. cross ukraine but if the flight trajectory is more a matter over speculation right now one alteration it made has been officially confirmed it is a flight. to fly. so i think 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. reporting from kuala lumpur in malaysia.

britain's prime minister claims that if it is shown that the rebels in east ukraine downed the aircraft 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 gonna judge 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 q's. 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 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 such immigrants why did you 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. now after the plane came down kid was quick to blame the anti-government forces and for the tragedy here's what the accusations are based on firstly there is a video released by kiev purporting to show a book surface to air missile system in eastern ukraine and with 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 if ukraine 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 says that the recording itself was doctored. but it's not really. for it's being presented as one on its record so in reality this sort of was compiled out of several fragments

of the time because they're inconsistent the words being said the plane was downed by cossacks these monkeys reveal that one fragment is recorded at sixteen thirty three and that the second fragments which comes right off towards it was recorded at seventeen fifteen. now as far as in the video of the missile system goes key have claims it was shot in a small town near the russian border but local state that you can clearly see an address on the billboard which is actually located in a different town which they say has been under the control of the ukrainian army since may and is located two hundred fifty kilometers away from the russian border now intelligence experts charles shoebridge points out 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 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 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 crash several mainstream media outlets latched onto the message coming in from washington and have unleashing a storm of accusations against ukraine's anti-government forces and against moscow as well we asked the load of a new state journalist and former security consultant why the finger of blame is being pointed so quickly. i think if it did if it's going to distribute an opportunity to once again play the blame game on russia and on the insurgents 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 see evidence this is something that is produced by experts on the ground it takes weeks and months before you can to jump to any conclusions to whatever is being said not is just speculation politically it's. another news that from ukraine despite calls for a ceasefire growing ever louder kiev stepped up its military crackdown against the centers of anti-government resistance in east ukraine this week now the situation in the regional capital of done yet scream manes tense with explosions heard on the outskirts while one hundred fifty kilometers away in the god scare raids and shelling have become an every day reality and the latest artillery attack on the city's residential areas a kindergarten and

a school were severely damaged and army mortar fire there killed at least sixteen on friday meanwhile the organization for security and cooperation in europe says two hundred fifty people have been killed in lugansk in the last of and two months are cheating ago as more. 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 connection to god's goodness but you see these that are essentially capitals of the two restive regions . varying brought into off the assaults by the ukrainian army this city has been heavily hit its infrastructure damaged people are saying they're left without water electricity gas is also something they're finding a shortage off of course there are instances of people being hit in the middle of

the day by artillery and mortar shells at one instance eight people have died several taney asli when a shell has hit a cross walk always the observers have said that two hundred fifty people have been killed since the beginning of june in lugansk alone previously that number is given for civilian casualties for these homes you ration of conflict for both regions and so now we can assume that that number is probably a lot higher than people have to in the industry they're living here. he says over peaceful life. as you. know. the fighting continues and of times it can be heard on the border between russia and ukraine with residents complaining about shells flying into their backyards essentially despite the fact that petro poroshenko has assured that civilians are not going to be the. targets of the 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 in southeastern ukraine goes on before. israeli prime minister has vowed to continue operation protective edge and i quote for as long as it takes and it has been revealed that two of the i.d.f. soldiers killed by hamas in the recent fighting were american citizens out of israeli defense force bombarded in eastern neighborhood from the aired killing at least eighty seven civilians that is made sunday the bloodiest day in conflicts involving israel since it attacked the hezbollah militant group in lebanon seven years ago locals say there are now bodies strewn about the streets of gaza and in the rubble of cross buildings they also say the sheer destruction is making it very difficult to retrieve them eighteen israeli soldiers have been killed since the

assault began but that number is divorced by the palestinian free taliban he's now approaching four hundred and forty. our correspondent has sent us a video from the heart of the conflict and just a bit of a warning it does contain some very graphic scenes. that's what we're doing now from we're going to move. on we have your money. this footage apparently shows among. the ruins of destroyed residential buildings he's thought to be the target of government gunfire he appears to be hit by a bullet while lying stretched out on the ground here a fear talked 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 that were two palestinians that one more

as an actor this was shot the video the images that you just saw and that was enough a young man we believe approximately eighteen or nineteen years old to want to take to the imagery which shows he is going to be fatally wounded and dying in the. these international solidarity activists this young gentleman wished to take these activists to this area in order to help evacuate his family which she believed was course. i have been pinned down the socially for hours it is extraordinary dangerous neighborhoods i'm joined now by a human rights activist. 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 remained of three were aimed to him the second one was fatal. which caused him to fall down and 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 millicent 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 how to interview you want to do is find he's got me resulted in his death there was supposed to be a cease fire as well however 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. killing this young gentleman this afternoon. now earlier an israeli defense force spokesperson told my colleague you know neal that they are doing what they're doing to great lengths not to hit civilians. and the hamas 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 military the use flechette shells with spray our thousands of tiny and potentially lethal metal darts 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 that we are giving them is because hamas finds it in its assets to leave them in these areas. palestinian bloodbath has created ripples a worldwide as well. pro palestinian demonstrators in paris who were tear gas after thousands flooded into the streets angry at a ban on anti israel protests imposed by the authorities they clashed with riot police meanwhile in vienna thousands also turned to the streets to voice their anger although rallies there were peaceful in sydney australia people gathered to support palestinians with thousands strong turnout and morocco as well join worldwide protests pro gaza protest france based independent journalist robert harness he says the media coverage of the conflict in the west is only fueling

discontent i seek to publish it so running is that it has been sensitized by western government stood to government should behave responsibly goodness we've heard enough about that if the aid it's a case of ukraine be so depressed go to. israel apparently it's pesky or i shouldn't like to go to gaza killed people's eyes are being very careful maybe don't be so very careful i mean people are now up to the sort of people who are demonstrating in paris they were young people they wanted to extremists most of there are a few close to the struggle but most of the day they get their information to the incident they know what's going on at. it each world why now there is a small section of the community that is well it does not mean she stood by the west beat you just by us to take the story. from next on our team to national look at the struggle of thousands of civilians who are fleeing ukraine stay with us as.

well. science technology innovation all the least a moments from around russia we've got the future covered. i wonder if the allegations of propaganda also represent a form of propaganda because what you do is essentially diligent to my being this source without looking out of the context but also canvas top down and so on the information that not source print distributor rules for problem i think that's a political color screen to quote which to school to the old tree homes all over the ukraine crisis i think to a certain friend of the let me one side by the nuclear option.
