international. bodies of the victims of the malaysian airliner crash meantime. already saying local authorities are providing full access. and president putin called on all groups involved in the ukraine. to obstruct the investigation and to ensure the safety of all involved in the probe. continues despite both sides suffering the bloodiest day since the start of the

conflict. headlines. international for me. welcome to the program the self-proclaimed authorities in ukraine's. international experts to begin examining the bodies of the two hundred ninety eight victims of the malaysian airliner crash that has been condemnation in the west over the efficiency and the recovery operations investigators sent to the country still have not left even though a c.e. observe those who are already at the crash site saying local authorities are offering full cooperation. with. the plane had crashed already a few days ago and the bodies of the victims had been lying out there in the field

for at least three days before recovery efforts by the self-proclaimed donetsk people's republic began and they said that they did it purely out of for moral responsibility to the families of the victims of the crash because we find ourselves in a thirty degree heat so the bodies had already began to decompose plus there's also danger present from the wild animals in the surrounding area as well because the plane did crash in a rural area so far at least two hundred bodies had been recovered so they were taken to the nearby city so red state been placed in that three railway refrigerator cars the temperature there is said to be about zero to minus five celsius now they always see a mission of war and wanted to and this is the situation here they said that's. still out there in the open they had not been recovered and the most recent finding

is the part of that cockpits including thirty seven additional bodies that they probably think belong to the cockpit crew meanwhile the investigation still cannot begin as international experts latest information suggests that they are from malaysia from the netherlands and from the united states of america they are still in kiev which is some seven hundred kilometers away but they still can't get here apparently saying that. they have a restricted access to the area but i always see observers who are currently on side are saying that this is simply not true they also added that the international experts who are currently in kiev haven't all been in contact with authorities of the self-proclaimed people's republic and saying that they have full access to the . area of the crash sites 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 seem to provide us with a kind of ring of security to allow us to to do the monitoring that we have to do and so there are also questions asked where there are black boxes all the flight m.h. seventeen have been found so the leader of the self-proclaimed people's republic of donetsk said that technical elements resembling the black boxes had been discovered at the sites and said these technical elements had now been taken to the city of donetsk and they are now on their guard and he said here all. somebody bring that with this evidence so that it will be kept under guard until international experts do get here and say to go elements will only be be given those international experts that is once they arrive from kiev. russia's president has called for the safety of everyone involved in the investigation to be assured auntie's been

a question of i was listening to what else let me put in. well speaking about this ration treasures a russian president vladimir putin said that it is necessary to everything it takes to provide full security for those international acts grace now working at the scene of the plane crash. it's important that all the people who are countable for the situation in this region of ukraine are more responsible for their own citizens and people of those countries who suffered as a result of the tragedy and we need to do everything we can to provide security for international experts who will be working at the site of the accident. meanwhile the president also added that russia will do everything it takes to turn this conflict in the eastern ukraine from a military one and to the face of peaceful negotiations moreover the president to add is that no one has the right to use this tragedy for a cheating some selfish political goals. such events should unite people

not separate them no one has any right to use this tragedy for any kind of selfish politicized interest. president putin hasn't blamed any of the pretty soon vote for the crash like some of his counterparts have done exactly that however he added it said the crash could have been voided if military action hadn't been resumed or if these are just several of the damning headlines that have appeared in scores of publications all across europe following the mh seventeen tragedy they've been feeding a feeling of anger across europe germany france and britain now threatening moscow with more sanctions possibly as soon as choose to if indeed international investigators are not given full access to the crash site are all over now reporting from the country though that suffered the biggest loss european reactions to the downing of the malaysian airlines flight eastern ukraine have started to change from initial shock people are now calling for immediate and real action to

be taken here in the netherlands where almost two hundred people among those who died came from the foreign minister of france timmons is said that people are angry and furious at what they see is a lack of progress being made regarding an investigation he will announce. what he gained from a recent trip to ukraine will be bringing you that of course as soon as we get it right here from the hague in the united kingdom where the foreign secretary philip hammond said that his country are willing to push ahead with more sanctions against russia even if it was to harm the british economy by restricting the flow of russian cash into the city of london the british prime minister david cameron said he's in agreement with french president francois hollande and german chancellor angela merkel that further sanctions must be discussed the german chancellor though held a phone conversation over the weekend with president vladimir putin and which both parties said that an international investigation is a must and it must get it under way very soon from the hague peter all of r.t.

now before international experts even reached the crash site washington accuse the anti government forces in eastern ukraine of shooting down the plane the unverified claims were summed up in a post on the website of the us embassy in moscow that russia has been accused of supplying heavy weapons to eastern ukraine an allegation moscow has strongly denied and demanded proof of but u.s. claims it detected a missile launched from opposition held territory shortly before the plane went down however the ukrainian military was also right there within striking distance and washington cites communications allegedly intercepted between the ukrainian opposition but there's no independent confirmation they're authentic in fact let's have a listen to the recording in which the opposition allegedly admitted to bringing down the airliner here it is all good to. me in europe where you're right you. know your. picture here if you look.

cicily if you. like it so much and we can. so in this recording the ukrainian opposition allegedly confessed to shooting the plane of a tape has been examined by a leading company which helps moscow police decide how authentic recordings are now here's what one of their experts had to say but it's not really. it's being presented as one and it's had recorded in reality the sort of if i was compiled out of several fragments in the time inconsistent the part where it's 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 afterwards was recorded at seventeen fifteen. and finally this is footage from ukraine you know authorities allegedly showing a book surface to missile launcher with one of its rockets missing in washington claimed the video was shot in an opposition held area of eastern ukraine. however

there are some ukrainian locals who have certainly come to their own conclusions out of the two about the location as to where those pictures were taken in fact one twitter user pointed to the billboard in this video it apparently is located in the town of crowds no item ice about the area has actually been under the control of the ukrainian military since may now the towns about one hundred kilometers away from where the malaysian airliner came down a veteran o.s.c. adviser told us there is currently zero conclusive evidence about what actually is . i think it did if. not that shouldn't be 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 deserve a thorough investigation by independent sources were burned when you see

evidence this is something that is produced by experts on the ground it takes weeks and months before you continue on to any conclusion whatever is being said not is just speculation to a political witch. of course a lot of anger has been caused by the way locals are perceived to have been treating the belongings of the victims its images like this one but has caused much of the criticism in fact here's what the dutch prime minister had to say in response to pictures like this one it because what i am shocked by the images of totally disrespectful behavior at this tragic site this is downright disgusting it's important have a look at this this one photo has been retreated many many times users expressed outrage that an anti-government fighter was holding a child's toy monkey like a trophy in fact i've been seeing this picture personally of every network and publication just about all around the world the image however doesn't tell the whole story i ask you to have

a look at this. now there's no end to the ballance in areas close to the mh seventeen crash site in eastern ukraine that's where kiev's troops have been waging their bloody crackdown on anti-government forces with civilians constantly caught in the crossfire now according to the o s c e two hundred fifty members of the public have been killed in the lugansk region alone since the beginning of june and the fighting continues for every corner of the land but as our correspondent found out at a russian hospital near the ukraine border not everyone is taking sides yesterday they were firing guns at each other in ukraine today they wake up in the same hospital in russia. they were the last people expected to see that which is that you it's raining and soldiers which is about it was a bit to a model what is that but people still trying to get them as kindly as possible of

the premium soldiers who brought to this small hospital last week after being wounded near the border with russia their commanding officers decided it was easier to move them across the border to peaceful area not involved in the fighting then seek medical help graner's especially it will be to clean the transfer back to ukraine after treatment is being worked out but some already say they are willing to go back to battle or carbonation you would go back of cool active military duty if your country needs you you have to go. literally next door to them is a member of the guns because self-defense troops he's also being treated for battle wounds here's what he thinks about the can you know army. they pick guys from regions that haven't risen up like don't ask real guns they tell them they're going on mandatory army duty but they end up in a war i feel sound for every one of. the doctors here are not only doing their usual troops but also plain diplomats yeah. mediately said guys or you know maybe

you think of us as enemies but we don't think of a human the same way we live in one country not too long ago that was what i'm surprised that not a single one of that was from western ukraine everyone is from your are regional. in some cases diplomatic efforts aren't needed when soldiers themselves don't want to fight and then you have to talk. who wouldn't want to know we don't know who we're fighting for and i have no animosity towards russians i'm of nationalists i'm not right six of them should be right to they have to make us fight i was mobilized i receive wounds to my hands and i have to go and fight again with cardboard equipment they reuse old ammunition and make money off us the country is falling apart but for them everything is fine here it's all so confusing who's fighting who and how are you and what for is unclear who are the separatists what do they look like we don't know the situation may seem a paradox after ukraine and western officials spared no effort in trying to paint

russia as a hostile aggressor but doctors in this small rural hospital believe there's is simply an exercise in humanity it in. southern russia. coming up after the break here on r.t. international the very latest updates from war stricken gaza israel again this morning launching more strikes into gaza and what you're looking at right now live pictures from central gaza the incursion up by the israeli defense forces could. to news we have the very latest updates in just a. war without end with no pre-determined exit strategy israel's most recent invasion of gaza could last for months the humanitarian catastrophe for the palestinians is incalculable how this enhanced israel's security is unclear.

i think. we're going to do. that you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy right albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and out of crass cynical we've been a hydrogen handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built i'm tom hartman and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem try to fix rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america if i ever feel ready to join the movement then welcome to it.

it's on to international live from moscow i'm rule research i thank you for joining us let me show you something here live pictures gaza israeli air strikes have killed twenty people this morning most of them in southern gaza it follows the bloodiest day so far off of both sides over one hundred palestinians died in the shelling of should sunday that was on sunday the district officer and residents and families escaped through streets strewn with bodies and rubble. as if. it was the bit of. israel also. suffered its worst losses with its dying soldiers are being killed on

sunday two of the i.d.f. troops killed by hamas in recent fighting were actually american citizens prime minister netanyahu vowing to continue operations quote as much as needed to spite the casualties a total death toll among the palestinians now reportedly more than five hundred a humanitarian truce lost in less than one hour course both sides blaming each other violating it. in the meantime there have been street celebrations in the west bank city of ramallah i followed reports that the wing of hamas had kidnapped an israeli soldier. brigade says he was abducted a day ago during an ambush in the east of gaza city but israel so far denying the collapse. of our correspondent did send a video from the heart of the conflict it contains images that you might find distressing. all kinds of what we're doing now but most of this from we're going to

move. on when there is none. of us are probably showing amount of money really destroyed residential. thought to be the target of government. it appears to be hit by a bullet lying stretched out on the ground harry fear talked to a witness of the incident. 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 hold on israel's operations in the area that were to 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 depicted in the imagery which shows him of course being fatally wounded and dying in front of these international solidarity activists and this young gentleman wished to take these activists to the. area in order to help evacuate his family

which he believed was caught up and had been pinned down essentially for hours in this 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 with full shots fired the first one but remained we aimed for him the second one was fatal. which caused him to fall down and on the ground and the third one was i guess with them to make sure that they had got him basically do you have any reason to believe he was caught off ten minutes in talking to you 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 phone and he knew the end of the interview you want to do is find. resulted in his death there was supposed

to be a ceasefire 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 on show killing this young gentleman this afternoon. and earlier an israeli defense force spokesperson told my colleague you know i kneel they're doing up so that everything they can to protect civilian lives 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 that 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 i thought it was of tiny and potential. the 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 the u.n. security council is called for an immediate cease fire in gaza and u.s. secretary of state john kerry is also due in egypt to support regional efforts to reach a solution by calling sean thomas discuss the trip with former cia officer dr charles

. there's not going to be peace as long as netanyahu is prime minister he doesn't want it and with all the efforts of kerry which would hide it laudable it was netanyahu who broke the talks off after israel refused to release the finer trunk of kind of skin impressions back in april john kerry the u.s. secretary of state was recently caught off mike talking about the israeli tactics in gaza let's listen in to what he had to say it's a hell of a pinpoint operation that's a hell of a pinpoint operation. it really. underscores the first thing we've got to get over there. that. i think we have to go to and i think it's crazy to sit around can we expect that to turn into some type of a concrete action it's very difficult because these neighborhood neighborhoods are very crowded and there are launching sites within the neighborhoods there are stray

actions that go wrong like the killing of the for palestinian teenager or youths on the beach last wednesday but i think the the i.d.f. does make an effort they send out warnings but it's a very very messy situation and and it's it's it must stop by and maybe maybe kerry can do something and it's gotten way out of hand and as kerry seems quite accurate the head of the pinpoint operation. well let's get some of the global headlines for you into the world that we go to start with the hundreds who gathered outside the b.b.c. broadcasting house in belfast accusing the corporation of pro israeli bias in covering the conflict protesters lit candles and held a minute of silence for the victims of the military campaign a petition criticizing the b.b.c.'s reporting on the issue collected forty five thousand signatures. to france where activists defied a ban on pro palestinian rallies and took to the streets in

a paris suburb and set fire to cars raided shops and blew off fireworks police responded with their own fireworks featuring tear gas and rubber bullets arresting at least thirteen this is the second time in two days that palestinian demonstrators have clashed with police and. and rival libyan militias are battling for control of the country's international airport up to five people reportedly killed in the latest attack civilians among them missiles and rockets have been used during fighting for the airport which is now been ongoing for a week the militias are made up mostly of former rebels country itself thrown into anarchy since the ousting of moammar gadhafi three years ago. and to nicaragua where unidentified gunmen ambushed two buses carrying a ruling party supporters at least five people killed twenty injured in these attacks the victims were returning from celebrations marking the anniversary of the sandinista revolution that brought down the u.s.

back to ship thirty five years ago. are this interesting projection only on the walls of the u.s. embassy in berlin for about five minutes that was enough to cause a bit of an online sensation. about story right now if you like while you're there you can check out this one is now allows children as young as ten years old to be officially employed read how the south american nation is essentially legalized child. it's all about dot com. obviously we're keeping very close tabs on what's going on in gaza with the israeli i.d.f. incursion over five hundred palestinians killed so far approximately just over a dozen israelis killed let's bring it into perspective now here's peter lavelle uncrossed.

in florida the debate over whether illegal immigrants should be able to get driver's licenses is heating up one group called the living with angels says that they should be allowed behind the wheel to support this view they use a classic argument that comes up a lot in the media they say that not a lot of people for it are legal so if you're not legal you can't have a driver's license what's with that this is like when people say well we should legalize drugs because people use them anyway or we should legalize prostitution because people will do it anyway so such i think they mean that it's everyone comes here illegally anyways we may as well let them drive so if enough people do something we currently consider illegal does that make it ok maybe sometimes but in the case of illegal immigration rolling out the red carpet for people to come to a nation illegally just empowers more people to come and it certainly spits in the face of locals and legal immigrants who do obey the rules of bureaucracy so here i would say no to driver's licenses for illegals in florida yeah there might be millions of them in the usa but that doesn't justify society bending over to make their lives comfortable if you want to drive in america be born american or become

one the legal way but that's just my opinion. waters today you have the pond to me because. i saw it spread all over and over this is the most toxic food you have in the. dramas out in the judicial inquiry. furthermore those restrictions. really.

follow involving the crosstalk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle a war without end with no pre-determined exit strategy israel's most recent invasion of gaza could last for months the humanitarian catastrophe for the palestinians is incalculable how this enhanced israel security is unclear. to cross talk the situation in gaza i'm joined by my guest nora lester more out in jerusalem she's a writer and blogger also in jerusalem we have martin van creveld he is a israeli military historian and theorist and in washington we cross to flynt leverett he is a professor of international relations at pennsylvania state university and co-author of the book going to turn around why america must accept the islamic republic of the red cross talk roles and i think that.
