a refrigerator train carrying the bodies of the victims pulled away from the platform in the town of torres it will travel to the netherlands via the city of port calls which is not controlled by government forces and is expected to arrive on its destination in around ten hours time meanwhile experts from the netherlands malaysia are headed to the side of the crash hoping to get all the details from cost revenue run ten to fifteen minutes. another jet was detected at the same time in place of the malaysian plane crash in eastern ukraine bearing the card touristic of a military aircraft that's what russia's the fence ministry revealed today it also spotted increased activity of ukrainian radars on the movement of book rocket launchers in the area on the day of the tragedy or. has more for us. well everyone has been busy throwing around i can say shins and playing the blame game that has been the lack of hard evidence in the case where rush is the fives
2:03 pm
ministry has been studying that they tell from its radars and satellites and this is what it's found well the biggest revelation so far as second aircraft with characteristics consistent with those of a ukrainian military jet flying within three to five kilometers of the malaysian boeing. if you will at five twenty one pm and thirty five seconds another mark of an aircraft appeared at the point of the boeing crash. steadily monitored by radar station. and detour in sky during the next four minutes having spotted the jet an air traffic controller failed to identify it as the aircraft most probably didn't time for self identification system which is characteristic of military aircraft. why deploy military giants in an area where there are passenger planes flying and why not mention it also here satellite pictures show you cranes and see aircraft systems including the book missiles moving towards the east on the fourteenth of july tom of course he have claimed that face no airborne threat so why the build up
2:04 pm
plus take a look at this this is what we can see a book a missile launcher is the fact that within a few kilometers of the nets and around the outside this is the spot right here than on the day of the crash and as we can see it is gone now let's move over here and take a look at ukraine's radar activity and see how it's changed here on the day of the crash july the seventeen is when we see it reaches its peak well here's one more question you want to satellite pictures prove and see government forces launch the missile well where are those pictures is what russia's the finance ministry is asking because russia can see that a u.s. spy satellite was moments or in the area around the plane on the very same day and the very same time so it should have those images so the defense minister concluded the conference by saying that russia has shown all the data it has regarding movements both on the ground and in the air and this asking the international community to present their merino call serve all artsy just
2:05 pm
a number of hours ago president obama delivered a strong statement concerning the malaysia airlines crash pointing the finger at russia of the country for not pressurising militia in eastern ukraine into allowing a proper investigation to take place or. was following his speech. the american leader has accused russia of training arming and providing the separatist nice ukraine with anti-aircraft equipment accusations moscow has vehemently denied obama insists that president putin has direct responsibility to force and separatists 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 getting full access to the wreckage as investigators approached they fired their weapons into the air the
2:06 pm
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 a 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. 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 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 or factually correct so
2:07 pm
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. port night in new york no allegations of russia's involvement in the malaysian plane crash up in picked up by many media outlets these are just some of the headlines appearing now and they're making it clear who they accuse of the tragedy laming that playing squarely at president putin's door and here's what major broadcasters are saying 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 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 and signed
2:08 pm
unless nikolai popof thinks the recording is a fabrication it's not really it's a text online. and if it's being presented as one on it it's had recorded in reality the sort of if it was compiled out of several fragments the time inconsistent the 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. it's all sort of these pictures of a surface to air missile launcher which it claims was spotted in an area held by anti-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 live on to say that so far no real evidence has been produced. when you see evidence this is something that is produced by experts on the ground it takes weeks and months before you can to jump to any conclusion whatever is being said is just speculation to a political move to each
2:09 pm
a detail that's been largely sidelined is that the pilot was told by ukrainian traffic controllers to reduce altitude by some six hundred meters just before disaster struck darts have also been raised over the unusual flight path what is actually suspicious is not the plane has to do you need it for who typically takes which seems to be now very very different from the flight just the day before and he also claims the missile that hit the plane was launched from territory controlled by anti government fighters intelligence expert charles shewbread says it's hard to establish up though 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 there it's accepted i think that is to put it much of a crime is in a fluid situation in terms of who controls what any given time. and what the media was quick to launch onto was this picture which you may have seen of an alleged
2:10 pm
looter up the crash site but this one has caused a lot of anger let's listen to what the dutch prime minister had to say it because talks i am shocked by the images of totally disrespectful behavior at this tragic site this is downright disgusting indeed the photo has been retreated many times accompanied by an angry comments the anti-government fighter was described as holding a child's toy monkey as if it was a trophy although sometimes an image well it doesn't tell the whole story. so there you have it five seconds that changed the whole picture p.r. expert phil butler saves the blame game that's unfolding in the media as well spun out of control. what you're seeing now is actually posterous in mice almost sixty years i have never seen leadership act on such flimsy speculation
2:11 pm
being an expert in social media and seeing what goes on in on twitter and facebook . i think the flavor of this is just very distasteful for the average person hard to know what the motivations or but it's a mighty quick public relations or media outlet over something that should be taken on. a more steady course meanwhile about an hour's drive from the crash site ukraine's army has unleashed heavy artillery on the city of donetsk which has already left at least five civilians dead and many more injured the city is the capital of the region and it's fear the act of combat action there will hamper the investigation of the crash heavy shelling was reported near the city's main railway station with some reports suggesting the army's using ground rocket systems this video from the nets cause emerged online showing at least three people lying on the ground judging by the creators nearby they were partly caught in
2:12 pm

2:13 pm
phone video was shot by a lake just north of the net several families with children who'd been relaxing there rushed for shelter after explosions went off in the other side of the water we spoke to one of the survivors said three or four or i was going to buy but he stopped five hundred meters before entering the wall and their way shooting just way people were swimming and today they started bombardments and four am the shelling was heard coming from the chemical plant nearby my father told me so much hilary systems one still that the plant so they thought in the direction of the a polish and donetsk railway station you can still see the smoke rising from the area now these pictures are from the outskirts of the nats which is ukraine's fifth largest city it has a larger population than several european capitals such as lived on or dublin for example the netsky is also a major industrial hub and is also home to one of ukraine's most popular football

2:19 pm
a little bit late but what malaysian experts have. probably will be able to achieve later on today is get a hold of those black boxes or those technical elements that resemble the black boxes that the leader of the self-proclaimed republic the people's republic of the next was talking about those technical elements that look like black boxes so we are expecting that to happen and it's soon meanwhile the always see the people monitoring what's going on here in the east of ukraine they have issued a statement that they have been granted all sorts of access here in the area. to the crash sites of the bodies and anything that has to do with this crash meanwhile the president of ukraine poroshenko had earlier and nouns combat zone forty kilometer no combat zone around the area crash however we all the
2:20 pm
journalists here saw that so soon as the train with the bodies had left the area. ukrainian jet fighters flew over this area and reportedly. went over a sound of noir nearby and shelled the area in that place. amman cost of keeping us abreast of what has been happening in eastern ukraine thank you for that. ok let's return now to the story in gas of a death toll has now surpassed five hundred thirty eight people at least ten militants have been killed today as they cross the border through to tunnel so far though more youngsters have been killed in strikes and hamas fighters i'm sorry for your reports the military action of today is leaving deep scars on the generation of tomorrow. at least eighty children have been killed in gaza in the past two weeks of fighting in their homes on the streets and even while playing on the
2:21 pm
beach in a recent incident three children were killed by drug so while playing football on the roof of the home the un confirm that at least one in five of the palestinian victims so far are children the numbers are much higher in the proportion is much higher than we saw in the conflict in two thousand and twelve if you're a six year old child in gaza this is your third war this is a regular occurrence this is part of your life and the impact it has on the long term development the children it really takes a toll and of course what's needed immediately is a sation to the violence we need we need some kind of a ceasefire agreement in an impoverished refugee camp known for its danger and a night time bombardment we met nine year old my lack. of friend bin laden the flu hey betty i am until monday. to look at them as well to be fair.
2:22 pm
i feel a bit. funny think. that the. doctor has been working in mental health for over twenty years and says that traumatized children's parents struggle to the minds of images. with critical questions for the parents to build on themselves. and the. children how the how they can to protect how they can secure these are some time. to secure the children he is an average mother of six living in one of gaza's most densely populated camps and over time trying to normal with them to try and make them calm and to make sure they don't feel scared to avoid a terrifying atmosphere a six year old son keeps asking me why there are drawings in the sky and. tell him they are taking video the children know the difference between a drone strike and an f. sixteen strike i have
2:23 pm
a daughter in high school she's grown up when she hears the airstrikes she starts to screen and cry experts fear that this latest violence could creation and mental health issues which could affect long term prospects for peace some of the. violence as. the. problem in the future and this is one of the this and you are talking about my generation will be involved in this in this conflict. gaza are surely no easy place in which to grow up one's destinies here are continually up through to by conflict and instability and among today's bereaved intro matteis children are tomorrow's parents leaders and a smaller number still resistance fighters harry fear otty. and earlier on this really defense force spokesperson assured me they're doing everything possible to protect civilian lives and the hamas minister of the
2:24 pm
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 terror is 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 but tension the lethal metal darts we've seen that are 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 idea. if this is done so in line with international law and we're seeing hospitals schools media offices essentially sick
2:25 pm
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 some of the must occur force the u.n. security council to urge in the media to cease fire and secretary-general ban ki-moon says israel committed an atrocious action and needs to do more to protect civilians but some didn't hold back on the words turkey's prime minister accuse israel of barbarism surpassing bought off hitler u.s. secretary of state john kerry is expected in egypt to support regional efforts to reach a solution and my colleague shown 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 would hide it laudable it was netanyahu who broke the talks off after israel refused to release
2:26 pm
the finer trunks 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 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 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 neighbors neighborhoods are very crowded and there are launching sites within the neighborhoods there are stray actions that go wrong like the killing of the four. 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
2:27 pm
a very very messy situation and and it must stop by and maybe maybe kerry can do something it's gotten way out of hand and is kerry seems quite accurate the head of the pinpoint operation. that's the news for now but after the break sophie shevardnadze speaks to an afghan prisoner of war turned taliban bodyguard. 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
2:28 pm
a lot of people for it are legal so if you're not legal you can't ever driver's license what 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 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.
2:29 pm
please please. please. it please please. please please. just say.
