5:01 am
to. the israeli bombardment of hamas targets in gaza continues despite both sides suffering the bloodiest day since the start of the conflict. welcome to the program on the international. very latest world headlines. the so for claim authorities in ukraine has done yet to reach an international expos to begin examining the bodies of two hundred ninety eight victims of the malaysian airliner crash there has been condemnation in the west over the efficiency of the recovery operations investigators sent to the country are still not at the crash
5:02 am
site but some are now thought to be in hot coffee in the neighboring region and you're watching right now the very latest footage from the town of torrance with the bodies of the victims are being kept in a refrigerated train. c.-e. observers have been examining the carriages within the past and monitoring the train to ensure the bodies are stored at the proper temperature. on course around on yes. the plane had crashed already a few days ago and the bodies of the victims had been lying out there in the fields for at least three days before recovery efforts by the self-proclaimed donetsk people's republic militia 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
5:03 am
plane did crash in a rural area so far at least one hundred bodies had been recovered so they were taking to the nearby city all solar reds they've been placed in that three railway refrigerator cars the temperature there is said to be about set from a 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 call 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 cannot get here
5:04 am
apparently saying that. they have a restricted access to the area but 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 have been 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 site 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 do and so there are also questions asked were there black boxes sold 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 black boxes had been discovered at the
5:05 am
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 tampering the with this evidence so they will be kept under guard until international experts do get here and to go elements will only be be given to those international experts that is once they arrive from kiev and russia's president has called for the safety of everyone involved in the investigation to be assured. of course russia has more on one side of my putin to say. the russian president wants to ensure that there is a fourth or an objective investigation and to make sure that happens it's important to ensure of course the safety of all the observers acts where it's an international investigators who are there about to start investigating the scene of the crash was. important that all the people who are accountable for the situation in this region of ukraine are more responsible both for their own citizens and people of those countries who suffered as
5:06 am
a result of the tragedy we need to do everything we can to provide security for international experts at the size of the accident a lot of our person added that the task force there right now is not enough and more experts should be brought in who would be working under the guidance of the international civil aviation organization and he also stressed that it's essential that this tragedy isn't being taken advantage of. no one has any right to use this tragedy for any kind of selfish politicized interest such events should unite people not separating them. so all in all what russia is looking for is for the investigation to be done in accordance with international standards in an objective manner and with no politics involved now let's bring you some of the several of the damning headlines that have appeared in his course of publications across europe following the major seventeen tragedy it's been feeding a feeling of anger across europe germany france and britain all threatening moscow
5:07 am
with more sanctions as soon as choose day of international investigators are not given full access to the crash site artie's peter all of an hour reporting from the one country that suffered the biggest loss. european reactions to the downing of the malaysian airlines flights over 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 be announcing later on in a press briefing what he gained from a recent trip to ukraine will be bringing you the us of course as soon as we get it right here from the hague in the united kingdom the foreign secretary philip hammond has 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
5:08 am
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. and even before international experts set out for 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 russia has been accused of supplying heavy weaponry to eastern ukraine an allegation moscow has strongly denied and demanded proof of the u.s. claims it detected a missile launched from opposition held territory shortly before the plane went down but the ukrainian military was also right in that area deeply within striking distance washington cites communications allegedly intercepted between the ukrainian opposition but there's no independent confirmation they're authentic and
5:09 am
let's just bring up the order before you can listen to the recording here which the opposition allegedly admitted to bringing down the airliner. maybe somewhere you a little boy i mean you are where you like you well. now you are. actually working . chipchura if you. like it so much and we're going to. have a tape has been examined by a leading company which helps moscow police decide how authentic recordings are here's what one of the experts had to say but it's not really. it's being presented as one on it it's had recorded in reality the sort of file was compiled out of several fragments the time mark is inconsistent the part where it is being said the plane was downed by cossacks these markers reveal that one fragment was recorded at sixteen thirty three and that the second fragment which comes right afterwards was
5:10 am
recorded at seventeen fifteen. and this footage from ukraine you know authority is allegedly showing a book surface to air missile launcher with one of its rockets missing kiev and washington claim the video was shot in an opposition held area of eastern ukraine. however some ukrainian locals have come to their own conclusions about the location of where the pictures were taken for example one twitter user pointed to the billboard in the video it's apparently located. and that area has actually been firmly under the control of the ukrainian military since may the town's about one hundred kilometers away from the malaysian airliner crash site and veteran c.e.o. adviser load of a news team told us right now there is zero conclusive evidence about what actually happened. this did not put shuki to once again played the blame game on russia and on the insurgency in the east of ukraine i meant and it's too good an
5:11 am
opportunity to miss the relatives and the victims deserve a thorough investigation by independent sources were but when you see evidence this is something that is produced by experts on the ground it takes weeks and months before you can change to any conclusion whatever is being said not is just speculation to a political it's. now an awful lot of anger has been caused by the way locals are perceived to have been treating the belongings of the victims it's images like this one which has caused an awful lot of criticism most fueling it around the world before i show you the real picture here's how the dutch prime minister responded to what was being posted in the publications on the networks. of british hawks i am shocked by the images of totally disrespectful behavior at this tragic site this is downright disgusting this photo has been read tweeted it hardly been used by the
5:12 am
publications on the networks out there to foment a lot of anger users expressing outrage that an anti-government fighter was holding a child's toy monkey like it was a trophy although frankly that's just not the case have a look. news we're just getting in right now from donetsk resistance forces saying the city is under attack from heavy weapons locals say at least four tanks try to break through self-defense checkpoints and into the capital of the volatile region the self-proclaimed authorities have advised the public to stay indoors here on r.t. international we will continue to bring you the very latest updates as soon as we get them. and this video was shot by a cell phone camera at a breach to the north of dawn yet just outside the city a couple of families with children were apparently sunbathing when the explosions started going off on the other side of the lake they all squeezed into one car and
5:13 am
sped away. now there's no end to the violence in areas close to m.h. seventeen the crash site in eastern ukraine that's where kiev's troops have been waging their offensive against anti government forces and civilians caught in the crossfire according to the o. s. c.e. two hundred fifty members of the public have been killed in lugansk alone since the beginning of the fighting continues for every inch of the land but as our correspondent found 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 are three million soldiers which is about it was a bit too a model but people still treated them as kindly as possible that was bringing in soldiers who brought to this small hospital last week after being wounded near the
5:14 am
border with russia their commanding officers decided it was easier to move them across the border to peaceful area not involved in the fighting than seek medical help ukraine or specially was critically injured the issue of their transfer back to ukraine after treatment is being worked out but some already say they are willing to go back to battle or carbonation. 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 gonski 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 do not grow guns they tell them they're going on mandatory army duty but they end up in a war i feel sad for every one of. the doctors here are not only doing their usual jobs but also plain diplomats yeah. mediately said guys or you know maybe you think of us as enemies but we don't think of you know the same way we live in one country
5:15 am
not too long ago that was they were like i'm surprised not a single one of them was from western ukraine everyone is from you know our regional. in some cases diplomatic efforts aren't needed when soldiers themselves don't want to fight i mean when you have to talk and there i wouldn't want to roll i don't know who we're fighting 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 received wounds to my hands and now i have to go and fight again with cardboard equipment they reuse old ammunition to make money off us the country is falling apart but for them everything's 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 theirs is
5:16 am
simply an exercise in humanity. southern russia. it's quarter past the hour moscow time thanks for joining us on r.t. international before we jump to a break quickly to show you these are live pictures from gaza right now all throughout the morning hours the i.d.f. forces have been continuing their incursion into gaza they've increased their troop numbers the amount of the heavy artillery they're using and the machinery as well we've been watching the plumes of smoke. seeing flags flying in the air as well we'll be back with an update on this story in just a moment. but i told you my language as well but i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so i'm not pushing the no i will leave them to stay current a comment on your latter part of the month to say. mr kerry a car is on a donkey no. thank you no more weasel words
5:17 am
when you question me prepared for a change when you should be ready for a. freedom of speech. down the freedom to. dramas to be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. the faces changing the world. so picture of today's leaves. from around the globe. it's all too international thank you for joining us the israeli offensive in gaza
5:18 am
has now left more than five hundred palestinians dead sunday the bloodiest day of the conflict so far the shelling of the district killed over one hundred people residents and families of skate through streets strewn with bodies and rubble. despite rising casualties israel is continuing to pound gaza thirty five people have been killed just this morning in southern gaza many actually belonging to just one family also at least ten militants were killed as they crossed the border through two tunnels prime minister netanyahu vowing to continue operations as much
5:19 am
as needed despite the casualties a humanitarian truce lost in less than one hour on sunday before both sides blame to each other for violating. correspondence sent a video from the heart of the conflict it does contain images you may find distressing. ok so what we're doing now the muslims from we're going to move. on we're going. to have this footage of her. lying among the ruins of destroyed residential buildings that are thought he was the target of government gunfire he appears to be hit by a bullet while lying on the ground force one to one witness who is this. a group of international solidarity activists and two palestinians who are 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 one an
5:20 am
activist which shot the video the images that you just saw and there was another young man we believe approximately eighteen or nineteen years old the one that depicted in the imagery which shows him who was 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 that q.h. this 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 remained it three were aimed for him the second one was fatal. which caused him to fall down on the ground
5:21 am
and the third one was i guess for them to make sure that they had got him basically do you have any reason to believe he was caught up in militant 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 leaving the. hey he was on the floor and he knew the end of the interview he wanted to do was find. in his day 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 off to. an israeli defense forces spokesperson told my colleague you know neal that they are doing all they can to make sure civilians never get. and the hamas minister of the interior specifically instructed the civilian population in gaza not to leave their homes
5:22 am
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 are 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
5:23 am
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. bloodshed force the u.n. security council the coal for an immediate cease fire in gaza the secretary general ban ki-moon saying israel committed quote i don't trust action and needs to be more protective about the civilians someone even though took as prime minister accusing israel of barbarism so pausing that of hitler and u.s. secretary of state john kerry expected in egypt to support regional efforts to find a solution by calling sean thomas discussed the trip with former cia officer dr charles cogan. 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 were ideological it was netanyahu who broke the talks off after israel refused to release the finer trunks
5:24 am
of kind of standing prisoners 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 operations it's a hell of a pinpoint operation. it really. underscores first we've got to get over there. that. i think we have to go to and i think it's crazy to cigarette 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 telling of the four. teenagers 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 what you must stop by and maybe maybe
5:25 am
kerry can do something it's way out of hand and is kerry seems quite accurate the head of the pinpoint operation in brief with some other global headlines for your time for the world update on r.t. international hundreds gathering outside the b.b.c. broadcasting house in belfast using 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. activists defied a ban on pro palestinian rallies and took to the streets in a paris suburb they set fire to cars raided shops spinoffs and fireworks please. responded with their own fireworks name need to gas and rubber bullets people arrested the second time in two days pro palestinian demonstrators have clashed with police. and rival libyan militias
5:26 am
a battle for control of the capital's international airport the five people killed in very latest attack civilians among them missiles on rockets have been used during fighting for the board which has been ongoing for a week the militias are made up of mostly former rebels the country's been thrown into the ousting of the. three years ago. an identified gunman ambushed two buses carrying ruling party supporters and look around with at least five killed twenty injured in all the victims returning from celebrations marking the anniversary of the sundanese their revolution that brought down the u.s. back to ship thirty five years ago. this projection only decorating the walls of the u.s. embassy in berlin for about five minutes more than enough time to go crazy online the whole story of the. also the story of bolivia now
5:27 am
allowing kids to tend to be officially employed how the south american nation has essentially legalized child labor. and a pleasure having you with us or an international law. after the break a. prisoner of war. god unless you're in the u.k. thank you for joining us afshin rattansi is going to take you on the ground. in florida the debate over whether illegal immigrants should. able to get driver's licenses is heating up one group called the living with angels says that they shouldn't 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
5:28 am
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 and 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.
