10:02 am
eastern ukraine and had the courage to risk dicks of the military aircraft that is what russia's defense ministry revealed less than an hour ago it also spotted increased activity of ukrainian radars on the movement of book rocket launches in the area on the day of the tragedy now let's get the details of this from artesian marine acosta who joins us now marina just tell us more about these latest findings absolutely and one of the most interesting findings as you mentioned is the fact that there was a second aircraft which was the type that gaining high at the same time as the boeing seven seven was flying over there and watching what's interesting is that it reached its distance between the this aircraft and boeing seven seven was at one point between three to five kilometers now what's the question that springs up here is why deploy military jets so close to passenger planes because we're not only talking about the malaysian boeing there were other planes flying over that area as well and why not reveal it because since considering everything that's happened
10:03 am
this is crucial information and now i believe we can hear about some more details regarding the second aircraft and what russia's defense minister believes that was . at five twenty one pm and thirty five seconds another mark of an aircraft appeared at the point of the boeing crash this aircraft was steadily monitored by radar station in ask and detour and sky during the next four minutes having spotted the jets in air traffic controller failed to identify it as the aircraft most probably didn't ourself identification system which is characteristic of military aircraft. what's also interesting is that ukraine's radar activity seemed to have peaked on the day of the crash and actually satellite pictures show that from the fourteenth of july ukraine's anti aircraft missiles were being moved towards the east of the country which is interesting again why because kiev all dorothy's had said up until that point that the government forces in the east did
10:04 am
not have book missiles yet they are shown in these satellite pictures a move in their arsenal towards the east of the country so why do that if you believe that the rebels don't have any systems like that also one of the pictures clearly shows that a factory off the bulk missile is seen within a few kilometers of the onion skin now the day after the crash the battery is gone so another question springs up then we have a u.s. which insists that has pictures proving that the missile was launched by the rebels in the rebel controlled territory or russia on its part and the defense ministry says that its pictures show that u.s. space satellites were actually monitoring that very same area surrounding the plane as that second aircraft so they should have pictures and if they do have them then why not show them in this evidence that there is saying that they have why not show it to the world so they can analyze these pictures as well so basically this is what the briefing was all about ok marina let's move on to the crash site in the
10:05 am
investigation because there's been growing pressure on russian officials to use their influence on the local militia to make sure that the full access is granted to them so i will spin the reaction from moscow. well vladimir putin has said that it's essential that there is security for international observers he also added that it's necessary to have a fourth or an object of investigation and in order to achieve that of course they need to ensure that there is security for all of these experts arriving let's listen there. were 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 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 airports and also said that the task force currently there is not enough and more experts need to arrive that would be working under the guidance of the international civil aviation
10:06 am
organization and he also stressed it's essential that this tragedy is not turned into a not taken advantage and basically turned into the situation where russia all it wants to make sure is that the investigation is done in accordance with international standards that is completely objective and no politics are involved ok the saudis are marina kosovo with the latest thank you. and we are hearing that dirt experts have arrived at the scene of the crash the malaysian airline in eastern ukraine international aviation investigators are yet to reach that area european security monitors who have been there since friday so they now have full access to the area after being restricted by armed militia men in recent days. here are pitches that we're getting from the scene local teams including volunteers are working that you can see the crane shifting part of the plane wreckage the region self-proclaimed officials of the international investigators to arrive soon as
10:07 am
possible to conduct a probe meanwhile search teams are continuing to find bodies strewn over a large area many of them have been placed in refrigerated carriages at a nearby train station the many accusations in international media including over the removal of bodies from the scene the local say couldn't they couldn't of let the bodies decompose out in the open in the midsummer hate. this following the situation for after. 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 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
10:08 am
danger present from the wild animals in the surrounding area as well because the plane did crash in a rural area even while the investigation still cannot begin as international experts lays information suggests that they are from malaysia from the netherlands and from the united states of america they still which is some seven hundred kilometers away they still cannot get here apparently saying that. they have a restricted access to the area but i always see observers who are currently on sites 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. and the polls republican 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.
10:09 am
and you know there they didn't seem to provide us with that 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 flights 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 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 sam bring the with this evidence so they will be kept under guard until international experts do get here and say to go elements will only be given to those international experts that is once they arrive from kiev. as the full scale probe into the tragedy is yet to begin many voices in europe for russia to be punished if it doesn't pressure antique air forces controlling the area you can friend so calling
10:10 am
for further sanctions peeta all a very skimpy track of the european reaction. dutch prime minister mark rutan has been addressing representatives of all of the parties in the dutch parliament concerning the malaysian airlines flight that went down in the east of ukraine addressing the concerns of the dutch people he said he understood their frustration after they saw on sunday u.s. secretary of state john kerry point fingers of blame he said he wouldn't be doing the same thing until he'd been presented with concrete evidence mystery to stress though that the priority at the moment was the repatch relation and identification of the bodies of those who were killed in this disaster he said though that they wouldn't lose focus on an investigation and to find out exactly who was responsible and he would be making sure that they were punished something that was backed up by all of the parliament areas present priority number one priority number two priority number three is recreating the bodies of the victims and their personal possessions but we have to take care we have to take extreme care to ensure that
10:11 am
those who are responsible for his crime do not go unpunished and i think this is a difficult balance but a balance that our government at this point in time just managed to make but i think and i fear that if corporation is not forthcoming in a couple of hours snacks few days the balance will go to towards firm action dutch investigators have told us that the first train containing bodies may move. on monday now holland has been rocked by this disaster almost two hundred of its citizens died when the plane went down over eastern ukraine and they are demanding action announces from their politicians reporting from the hague peter all of r.t. the u.k. prime minister is among the strongest advocates for sanctions against moscow proposing a ban on defense exports to russia we discussed the issue with veteran british labor politician and former mayor of london ken livingstone who believes that
10:12 am
there's actually little public support for such an idea. you can then blame president putin if he sees a bit of a mess going on there this is an absolute tragedy by pretty is not something planned by putin and that's the line being dished out from washington and the british government and i have to tell you want whilst people in russia may be looking at news papers now t.v. broadcasts and thinking there is great down here there is no mood in britain or i suspect anywhere in europe for escalating sanctions because it would simply tip the european economy back into recession and there's no evidence to suggest that this is anything other than a tragic error by people that should have known better. news just in we're learning that the malaysian experts have arrived at the crash site as well that's what local self-proclaimed or thirty's have announced early geishas of russia's involvement in the bill asian plane crash of being picked up by many media outlets these are just
10:13 am
some of the headlines appearing and they're making it clear who they blame for the tragedy pointing the finger directly at president putin however other parts of the story all be largely ignored ukraine has released what it claims is an intercepted phone call between anti-government forces which they admit to downing the plane but speech and sound honest nicholai popof thinks that the recording is a fabrication. it's that. for it's being presented as one an edited record in reality this sort of was compiled out of several fragments at 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 then the second fragment which comes right afterwards was recorded at seventeen fifteen. was also released pictures of a surface to air missile launcher which it claims was spotted in an area held by
10:14 am
anti-government forces but local say the town in the video has been under the control of the ukrainian army for the past two months from security consultant load of a new says this so far no real evidence has been produced when you see. this is something that is produced by experts on the ground it takes weeks and months before you can jump to any conclusion whatever is being said is just speculation to a political speech. and the detail the spin largely sidelined is that the pilot was told by ukrainian traffic controllers to reduce altitude by six hundred meters just before disaster struck darts of also been raised over the unusual flight path which is not the plane has a year from typically two weeks which seems to be now very very different from the flight just the day before ukraine also claims the missile that hit the plane was
10:15 am
launched from territory controlled by the anti-government fighters intelligence expert shall shew bridge says it's hard to establish that for sure 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 eastern ukraine is in a fluid situation in terms of who controls what any given time. now what the media was quick to latch onto was the picture of an alleged looter at the crash site this one has caused a lot of anger let's listen to what the dutch prime minister had to say about it if british courts i am shocked by the images of totally disrespectful behavior at this tragic site this is downright disgusting now here's the photo that's been really tweeted many times accompanied by angry comments the antigovernment fighter was described as holding a child's toy monkey as if it was a trophy however sometimes an image doesn't tell the whole story.
10:16 am
meanwhile ukraine's army has unleashed heavy artillery fire on the city of donetsk with unconfirmed reports saying that five civilians have been killed local militia groups say army tanks are trying to break through their checkpoints residents have been advised to stay indoors. i know how much the risky but. now this cell phone video was shot by a lake just north of done yet several families with children have been relaxing that rushed for shelter after explosions went off on the other side of the like ukrainian army denies that it's been shelling the city but images posted align show a different picture. come going to look more

space of two weeks with sunday becoming the bloodiest day so far the start of operation protective edge so a daily death toll of around two dozen but the numbers have since been snowballing with one hundred palestinians killed on sunday alone what began with air strikes against suspected to mass rocket science developed into a full blown israeli ground offensive on thursday night israel has also lost eighteen of its soldiers and the at. the local. level. this is. the. word if. you. don't know. what. despite rising casualties israel showing no sign of wrapping up its mission promised the netanyahu is vowing to continue operations as much as needed that the
10:22 am
five people have been killed this morning in southern garza many belonging to just one family also at least ten militants were killed as they crossed the border through two tunnels. and our correspondent sent a video from the epicenter of the worst hit areas in gaza please be warned though it contains some graphic images. now here's what we're doing now from we're going to move. on we're going to. your lawyer lou now this footage apparently shows a man among the ruins of residential buildings he's thought to be the target of government gunfire and he appears to be hit by a bullet while lying stretched out on the ground trying to find other deer told through a witness of that incident. a group of international solidarity activists and two palestinians were making
10:23 am
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 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 being 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 believed was caught up i had been pinned down essentially for hours it is extremely dangerous neighborhoods i'm joined now by a human rights activist and witness and. rina can you tell us exactly what you saw with respect to the death of this young man. with respect to the dance all together there were four shots fired the first one missed him but remained it three were
10:24 am
aimed for him the second one was fatal. which caused him to fall down in the underground and the third one was i guess for them to make sure that they had got him basically to have any reason to believe he was caught up in militant turning to no not at all he was as far as we are aware you. 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 enemy how kind of we had wanted to do was find is that 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 on. killing this young gentleman this afternoon. now earlier an israeli defense force spokesperson assured my colleague you know neal that they are doing everything possible to protect civilian lives. and the hamas
10:25 am
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 shelves 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
10:26 am
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. let's go back to our breaking news the russian defense minister has announced that detected a second plane at the time and place of the malaysia airlines crash which appeared to be a fighter jet officials say kids claims that there were no military activity in the area clearly falls. if you look at five twenty one pm and thirty five seconds another mark of an aircraft appeared at the point of the boeing crash this aircraft was steadily monitored by radar station didn't ask and detour and sky during the next four minutes having spotted the jets in air traffic controller
10:27 am
failed to identify it as the aircraft most probably didn't ourself identification system which is characteristic of military aircraft. also russia's defense ministry is really subtle art images of ukrainian book rocket launches in the area of the crash and says it spotted increased activity of ukrainian radars on the day of the tragedy officials say the plane's route to the alleged location where it was hit would have been within the range of those anti aircraft missiles satellite images shown on the day after the crash that one of the defense systems had left that area . ok here the very latest updates at the top of the hour stay with us up next it's our special report on the black gold rush in canada if you're watching is in the u.k. afshin rattansi goes underground on britain's corrupt deals. 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's 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 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
10:29 am
