the continuing israeli bombardment of gaza leaving dozens dead despite both sides suffering the bloodiest day since the start of the conflict on sunday. welcome thanks for joining us this hour my name is neil harvey and you're watching international. first for you this hour the self-proclaimed all thorough and ukraine's done yet screech of international experts to begin examining the bodies of the 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 yet at the crash site but some are
6:02 am
now thought to be in the heart of neighboring region. right now watching the very latest footage from the town of torres and this is where the bodies of the victims are being kept in a. try sealed the visit been examining the carriages over the past hour they are monitoring the train to ensure that the bodies are stored at the correct temperature at auntie's or mine isn't done yet so 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
6:03 am
plane did crash in the rural area so far at least two hundred bodies had been recovered so they were taken to the nearby city of solar reds they've been placed in that three railway refrigerator cars the temperature there is said to be about set from 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 the 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're still in kiev which is some seven hundred kilometers away but they still can't get here
6:04 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 do the monitoring that we have to do and so there are also questions asked whether black boxes sold the flight m h seventeen have been found to 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
6:05 am
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 there 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 he. meanwhile russia's president has called for the safety of everybody involved in the investigation to be assured acosta has more on what led him or 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 axworthy international investigators who are there about to start investigating the scene of the crash was stupid you've got to it's 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
6:06 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 lattimer put an 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 separate 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 these are just several of the damning headlines that have appeared in scores of publications across europe following seventeen trying today they've been feeding a feeling of anger across europe germany france and britain have threatened moscow
6:07 am
with sanctions as soon as choose day if international investigators aren't given full access to the crash site peter all of our reports now from the country that suffered the biggest loss. european reactions to the downing of the malaysian airlines flight 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 that of course as soon as we get it right here from the hague in the united kingdom where 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
6:08 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 underway very soon from the hake peter all over r.t. . even before international experts set out for the crash site the u.s. accused antigovernment forces in eastern ukraine of shooting down the plane but washington is basing its allegations on several as yet unverified claims such as russia has been accused of supplying weapons to eastern ukraine an allegation that moscow has denied the ukrainian opposition is known to have seized plenty of weapons from kiev armed forces and the u.s. claims it detected a missile launched from opposition held territory when the plane went down but the ukrainian military is fighting in the same area and has its own ad found systems there washington cites communications allegedly intercepted between ukrainian
6:09 am
opposition but there's no independent confirmation that they are authentic now here is the recording in which the opposition allegedly admitted to bringing down the airliner. maybe some of you were born in europe where you write you. know your. picture you know if you. like it so much and we came up. with that tape has been examined by a leading company which helps moscow police decide how authentic recordings are here's what one of their experts had to say. it's being presented as one an edited recording in reality the sort of file was compiled out of several fragments the time mark is inconsistent at 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
6:10 am
afterwards was recorded at seventeen fifteen. this is footage from ukrainian authorities allegedly showing a book surface to air missile launcher with one of its rockets missing here in washington claimed the video was shot in an opposition held area of eastern ukraine . however some ukrainian locals have come to their own conclusions about the exact location where the pictures were taken one twitter user pointed to the billboard here in the video now it's apparently located in the town of mace can that area has actually been under the control of the ukrainian military since may the town is about one hundred kilometers from where the malaysian airliner came down a veteran o.s.c. advisor lauda van has told us there is currently zero conclusive evidence about what happened. this too good an opportunity to once again play the blame game on
6:11 am
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. when you see evidence this is something that is produced by experts on the ground it takes weeks and months before you contingent to any conclusion whatever is being said is just speculation to a political movement which. now a lot of anger is being caused by the way that locals are perceived to have been treating the belongings of victims and it's images like this one which have caused much of the criticism now this is what the dutch prime minister had to say about this because what i am shocked by the images of totally disrespectful behavior at this tragic site this is downright disgusting now one particular photo has been retreated many times use expressed outrage understandably
6:12 am
so that an anti-government fighter appeared to be holding a child's toy monkey like it was a trophy or vo sometimes an image does not tell us the whole story. as you see there clearly the militia members paying his respects also we've been getting details from done yet screws assistance forces there saying that the city is under attack from heavy weapons local say at least three civilians were killed and one more was injured when four tanks tried to break through self-defense checkpoints and into the capital of the volatile region the self-proclaimed or thirty's of advise the public to stay indoors ukrainian army has denied responsibility for the series of explosions in donetsk this is what one local told r.t. here's what. very few are doing. how it's.
6:13 am
going to be for sure why. what. should we do it. we. want. to hear more. about. this particular video was shot by a cell phone camera at a beach just to the north of done yet scouse side of the city a couple of families with children apparently sunbathing on the sand when explosions started going off on the other side of the lake they all squeezed into the car and sped away. now there's no end to the violence in areas close to the i'm a seventeen crash site where care of strips have been waging an offensive against anti-government forces according to b.o.'s see two hundred fifty members of the
6:14 am
public have been killed in the neighboring lugansk region alone since the beginning of june and the fighting continues for every inch of land our correspondent arena is at a russian hospital near the ukraine border where she found out that not everybody 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're grainy and soldiered which is about it was a bit to a model of that but people still trying to get them as kindly as possible of ukrainian soldiers who were 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 a peaceful area not involved in the fighting then seek medical help ukraine especially with those 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. i'll go back of course i'm on active military duty if your
6:15 am
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 clean army. they pick guys from regions that haven't risen up like donetsk or lugansk they tell them they're going on mandatory army duty but they end up in a war i feel sad for everyone. the doctors here are not only doing their usual jobs but also playing diplomats yeah. he said guys for you maybe you think of us as enemies but we don't think of you the same way in one country not too long i'm surprised not a single one of them was from western ukraine everyone is from your regions. in some cases diplomatic efforts aren't needed when soldiers themselves don't want to fight and then you have to. i wouldn't want to we don't know who we're fighting i
6:16 am
have no animosity towards russians i'm not nationalists i'm not right six of them should what right do they have to make this fight i was mobilized i received wounds to my hands and 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 and what for isn't clear 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 simply an exercise in humanity it in. southern russia. coming up next on our table of the very latest updates from war stricken gaza see you after this short break.
6:17 am
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. speak the language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks about six of the c.o.r.p. interviews intriguing story for you. in troy arabic to find out more visit our big.
6:18 am
economic ups and downs in the final months. and the rest. a little bit every week ok. welcome back now next the israeli offensive in gaza has left more than five hundred palestinians that sunday was the bloodiest day of the conflicts the shelling of one particular district killed more than one hundred people residents and families escaped through streets that was strewn with bodies and rubble.
6:19 am
despite rising casualties israel is continuing to pound garza thirty five people have been killed this morning in southern gaza many belonging to one family also at least ten militants were killed as they crossed the border through two tunnels prime minister netanyahu is vowing to continue operations as much as needed despite the casualties a humanitarian truce lasted less than an hour on sunday before both sides blamed each other for violating it. now our correspondent video from the heart of the conflict it contains some images which you may find distressing. and what we do now from we're going to. hear. from. you lou.
6:20 am
this footage apparently shows a man 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 very 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 halt on israel's operations in the area there were two palestinians that one was an 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 depicted in the imagery which shows him of course fatally wounded and dying in front of these international solidarity activists this young gentleman wished to take these activists to this area in order to help evacuate his family which he
6:21 am
believed was caught up and had been pinned down essentially for hours in a six three me dangerous neighborhoods i'm joined now by a human rights activist and witness rena. rena 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 three were aimed for him the second one was fatal. which caused him to fall down on the ground and the third one was i guess for them to make sure that they had got him basically do you have any reason to believe he was caught up in militant trying to go to 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 amateur thank you do you want to do is find that middle resulted in his death there was supposed to
6:22 am
be a cease fire as well however as we settle 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 in a nail that they're doing all 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 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 terror is 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 are some rules of humanitarian
6:23 am
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. bloodshed force the u.n. security council to call for an immediate cease fire in gaza secretary general ban ki moon says that israel committed an atrocious sanction and needs to do more to protect civilians but somewhat even further turkey's prime minister accused israel
6:24 am
of barbarism surpassing that of the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is expected in egypt to support regional efforts to reach a solution my colleague told us to discuss 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 highly laudable it was netanyahu who broke the talks off after israel refused to release the finer traunch . 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 pin toy operation it's a hell of a pinpoint operation. it really. underscores first we've got to get over there. i think we have to go tonight
6:25 am
i think it's crazy to the sitting around can we expect that to turn into some type of a concrete action it's very difficult because these neighbors neighborhoods are very crowded and they're launching states 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 must stop by and maybe maybe kerry can do something it's it's gotten way out of hand and is kerry seems quite accurate the head of the pinpoint operation. of some of the world headlines for you now hundreds of 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
6:26 am
thousand signatures. elsewhere activists defied the ban on pro palestinian rallies and took to the streets in a paris suburb they set fire to cars raided shops and five practice police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets and resting at least thirteen rioters is the second time in just. today's pro palestinian demonstrators have clashed with police in france. and elsewhere rival libyan militias are battling for control of the capital's international airport up to five people have been reportedly killed in the latest attack civilians among them missiles and rockets have been used during fighting for the airport which has been ongoing for a week now the militias are made up mostly of former rebels country's been thrown into anarchy since the ousting of former leader moammar gadhafi three years ago. and unidentified gunmen ambushed two buses carrying ruling party supporters in nicaragua at least five people were killed and over twenty more injured in those attacks the victims were returning from celebrations marking the anniversary of the
6:27 am
sandinista revolution that brought down a u.s. back to the ship thirty five years ago. now this plucky project should only decorated the walls of the u.s. embassy in berlin for about five minutes but that was enough to cause quite a stir online r.t. dot com has all the details of the system. bolivia's now allowing kids as young as ten to be officially employed read how the south american nation is essentially legalized child labor all the details available on our website. but with more news at the top of the crosstalk is up next here on r.t. and if you're watching is in the u.k. time for the interview with sophie and joining.
6:28 am
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 see that not a lot of people for the. legal so if you're not legal you can't over 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 essentially 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
6:29 am
one the legal way but that's just my opinion. we profit very large very attractive and now very globally recognize the source of oil for the world into the world's cheapest and best petroleum deposits have been mined out we have to use more energy to get this energy industries grow like a cancer each of the squares it's ten kilometers where. this whole area is slated for the way that's her drinking water that's our wildlife service for fisheries. this is the end game when it takes two tons of sand to make one barrel of oil you know here at the bottom.
