1:01 pm
it's really time chalo hospital already packed with injured palestinians as the military offensive enters its third week triggering condemnation and calls for immediate cease fire. live from our new center here in moscow twenty four hours a day you are watching r t international with me only welcome we start with breaking news here on r t international leaders in eastern ukraine are about to hand over the flight recorders from the crash seventeen plane to malaysian experts and these are the latest pictures we have been getting from the area a refrigerator train carrying the bodies of the victims pulled away from the platform in the town of torres it's. destination means no and so far meanwhile
1:02 pm
experts from the netherlands on malaysia started to arrive at the site of the crash . is there. we are now into our fifth day after the plane crash took place here in the nets region and just now investigators are beginning to arrive at the first person i've seen was such forensics expert who arrived in a city office torres about said it's a kilometer away from here to a place where recovered bodies all flights m h seventeen have been stored in a refrigerated train cars no such forensics experts said that he was satisfied with how the bodies are stored stored in a suitable environment sends of course before there was quite a bit of controversy about the recovery of these bodies because the self-proclaimed defense forces had been urged to not to touch them at all but they felt that they have a moral responsibility to the victims'. families and we are in the thirty degree
1:03 pm
heat out here so the bodies began to decompose quite rapidly so as to the aviation experts there yet so right here at the scene they crash we believe that's the malaysian aviation experts will be coming here to the one i just would meanwhile of course the always see are continuing their monitoring mission here as well they are present at fallible would be experts as well and in regards to what had been found here on the scene already while the leader of the self-proclaimed donetsk people's republic claims that they recall birds a technical elements that resemble the black boxes of the seventeen flights and now these technical elements are now in his possession on their guard. another jet was detected at the same time in place of the malaysian plane crash in eastern ukraine and how to correct the risks of a military aircraft that's what russia's defense ministry today revealed it also
1:04 pm
spotted increased activity of ukrainian radars on the movement of rocket launchers in the area on the day of the tragedy ortiz mean a cost has more. there was a second aircraft which was the tech that gaining heights at the same time as the boeing seven seventy was flying over there and watch it 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 have deployed 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 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 crash. monitored by radar station. and
1:05 pm
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 for self 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 authorities had said up until that point that government forces in the east did not have book missiles yet they are shown in these satellite pictures a move in their arsenal towards the east of the country also one of the pictures clearly shows that a factory of the book missile is seen within a few kilometers of donetsk and now the day after the crash the battery is gone so another question springs up then we have the u.s.
1:06 pm
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. no the 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 now why not show them in this evidence that they are saying that they have why not show it to the world so they can analyze these pictures as well president obama has just delivered a strong statement over the malaysia airlines crash pointing the finger at russia on lashing out at it for not pressurising local militia into allowing a proper investigation to take place or to port was following his speech for us the american leader has accused russia of training arming and providing the separatist needs ukraine with anti-aircraft equipment accusations moscow has vehemently denied obama insists that president putin has direct responsibility to force separatists
1:07 pm
to what he says to stop blocking an international investigation into last week's shoot down of the malaysian airlines passenger jet unfortunately the russian backed separatists who control the area continue to block the investigation. they've repeatedly prevented international investigators from gaining full access to the wreckage as investigators approached they fired their weapons into the air the separatists are removing evidence from the crash site all of which begs the question what exactly are they trying to hide now while obama insists that monitors are being blocked by the local militias statements that we're hearing from the o.s.c. from o.c. officials counter obama's version of events we heard from the no a c e person that insists that currently they are being provided access and security we covered a wider area we visited a site that we hadn't visited before. we had fairly good perimeter security.
1:08 pm
and you know there he 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 now president obama has underscored his support for a prompt full on impeded and transparent investigation but the problem is that this investigation before it even begins is being tainted with the blame and accusations and you know and statements that are not necessarily true are factually correct so it would be best obviously if all governments were framed from pointing fingers and casting blame until the investigators start actually doing their job and gathering the facts and putting the pieces together allegations of russia's involvement in the malaysian plane crash have been picked up by many media outlets these are just some of the headlines appearing now and they're making it clear who they blame for the tragedy pointing the finger of blame directly or president but this is not a case where terrorists are operating without an address or home base it's called the kremlin the blame is largely on putin and i think we have to hold him
1:09 pm
accountable russian separate issues russian equipment that they were trained on by russians to bring down a commercial jetliner. however there are parts of the story being largely ignored ukraine has released what it claims is an intercepted phone call between the government forces in which they admit to donning the plane but speech unsigned analysts think like pop off thinks the recording is a fabrication it's that. it's being presented as one and it's it recorded in reality this sort of was compiled out of several fragments in the time inconsistent part words 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. kiev has also released pictures of a surface to air missile launcher which it claims was spotted in an area held by
1:10 pm
government forces but local save a ton in the video has been under the control of the ukrainian army for the past two months former security consultant to have a new say not 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 to each detail that's been largely sidelined is that the pilot was told by ukrainian traffic controllers to reduce the altitude by six hundred meters just before disaster struck dots have also been raised over the unusual flight path what is actually suspicious is not the plane has do you. typically takes which seems to be now very very different from the flight just a day before ukraine also claims the missile that hit the plane was launched from territory controlled by anti-government fighters intelligence expert charles
1:11 pm
shewbread ses it's hard to establish that for sure. one could say from the outset with some investigation of ground from which it was launched and of course that would give an indication even though it's accepted i think if you put in much of history crime is in a fluid situation in terms of who controls why any given time and also what the media was quick to latch on to was the picture of an alleged looter of the crash site this was caused a lot of anger and let's listen to what the dutch prime minister had to say the british talked i am shocked by the images of totally disrespectful behavior at this tragic site this is downright disgusting the photo has been repeated many times accompanied by angry comments the anti government fighter was described as holding a chinese child's toy monkey as if it was a trophy although sometimes an image well it doesn't tell the whole story.
1:12 pm
ok for more on the blame game that's unfolding in the media let's bring in public relations expert fail butler we can speak to phil now and felt thanks for joining us this hour why do you think the media and certain politicians were so quick to blame the militias and russia as well. well it's difficult to know the answer here but it seems evident that it was some kind of an agenda that was ready to be put in action should anything like this. at the outset but it's hard to hard to know what the motivations are but it's a mighty quick public relations or media outlash over something that should be taken. in a more steady course now we've seen also a handful of on verified videos and audio recordings which keeps it implicate
1:13 pm
antigovernment forces does the media not meet credible evidence speak for docs as judge and jury. well the media's job is not to be a judge and jury in the first place is ideal he would have his. present presentation of not just information but actual data proof as it were as to whatever the report report is saying and what you're seeing now. actually posterous . in mice almost sixty years i've never seen. leadership act on such flimsy speculation to. feels like that some of the western leadership is trying to strike up what could be productivity can this conceived as of as a blood. ritual. we have reports of all home
1:14 pm
manner of activities that president putin supposed to be taking we've got reports that president putin's personal misao was fired at this aircraft and it's just it's preposterous what's going on and i think most of the people that are catching this news are seeing the tabloid like nature of it all we're a listener quite shop we haven't heard repercussions from the public about this but being an expert in social media and seeing what goes on and on twitter and facebook . i think the flavor of this is just very distasteful for the average person and just on the investigation itself western politicians have voiced concerns that experts work on the site is being hindered but today the u.s. see mission reported they have full access to this site why do you believe this contradiction is happening. again it's difficult to know the
1:15 pm
motivations for this kind of a media frenzy i know from having to do with the media and being part of the media in some respects. that what people see on the eleven o'clock in america or in great britain is they might think as local news the dallas morning news may reader may think that of reporter from the dallas morning news is actually going to the ukraine in taking these pictures or accessing them annoying what the story is but this is not the case what most people don't understand is news in the western world and pretty much in the rest of the world is based on associated press it's a based on one story or ten stories being filtered down through a system that is basically is a system of media economics and so all it really takes to start a propaganda type situation is to be able to control of course one or
1:16 pm
a few major media outlets and i think that's what you're seeing now i mean for the most part people in the business i'm in are taking the gloves off a little bit in calling out these easy journalists it's funny that having been a blogger. maybe a decade ago we learned how to. get traffic or try to monetize blogs by competing with traditional media like the new york times and the washington post and some of those they were very far behind as far as the social and digital and immediate access that citizen journalists had to all manner of stories and so now what you've seen is a reversal of that you've got blogs on the washington post acting as if the pro russian separatists already knew. they were guilty and wondering do they know what they've done and things like this of water is allowed to basically put
1:17 pm
the blame on the show russian separatists ok or really drunk. ok. are we really going to this because it's interesting to get your take on i really have to move on lots more news this hour thank you for your time. and meanwhile about an hour's drive from the crash site ukraine's army has unleashed heavy artillery on the city of the nets which has already left at least five civilians dead and many others injured the city is the capital of the region and it's fear that the active combat action there will hamper the investigation of the crush heavy shelling was reported near the city's main railway station with some reports suggesting the army is using grad rocket systems this video from the nets because emerged online showing at least three people lying on the ground judging by the creators nearby they were partly caught in deadly fire the ukrainian army denies it's been shelling the city but other images posted online show

a smaller number still resistance fighters harry fear r.t. . up next here in our to international it's our special report on the block gold rush encounter that. 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 through the use a classic argument that comes up a lot the media they say that not a lot of people for it are legal so if you're not legal you can't ever 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
1:27 pm
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 yeah 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. i think the afghans are invincible they're too independent minded they love freedom . they don't want to see foreigners in their country and will fight to get a real a war till the end.

1:29 pm
land was once vast northern forest it is now become the biggest industrial project in the world the extraction. of oil sands in canada. trees have been replaced with giant chimneys. oversized machines scraped this browned land overflowing with beecham and an extremely polluting oil derivative. it's the last giant rush for black gold on a global scale. and the oil companies have come together here in the state of. the sandman's eldorado. us and is a very interesting story because it has been there for ages that resource is so large today it represents the amount that can be recovered both economically as well as technically so with the right technology one hundred seventy three or one hundred sixty nine just counting the oil sands a billion barrels so that hundred sixty nine billion barrels makes it the third largest resource of oil anywhere in the world third.
