evidence from ukrainian officials social media and the internet. you're watching international we're coming to you live from moscow it's now three pm here in the russian capital it's good to have you with us the real agency reports ukrainian forces have bombed a town in the east of ukraine just thirty kilometers from the scene of the malaysian passenger jet crash despite a ban on hostilities in the area imposed by ukraine's president. is following developments well apologies we can bring you a report right now we're trying bring you that later on in the hour. now from the

first hours of the disaster some states were blaming russia for the tragedy from supplying weapons to obstructing investigators there's been no shortage of accusations. repeatedly prevented international investigators from gaining full access to the wreckage as investigators approached they fired their weapons into the air their work has been made more difficult by the presence of separatists. well michael prosecutor from the seeing mission who's monitoring the recovery efforts and the investigation at the crash site doesn't seem to share western concerns he says he's satisfied with most of his mission circumstances we didn't receive any obstruction and as most of you saw we had a security cordon around us most of the time and we did visit the railway station twice our passage to the affected area was incredibly fast at the

biggest sites in the afternoon the dutch forensic experts assessed the body recovery work on that site is good. and we again we had a pretty good access today late afternoon around sixteen fifteen we arrived at an incident scene we had not yet visited. we noticed multiple pieces of debris there and also we noticed that the scene had not been guarded prior to our arrival. where ukraine's president has firmly denied the country's armed forces could have had anything to do with the mh seventeen crash and an interview with c.n.n. he said that at the time only ukrainian planes were on the ground kilometers away from the crash site he also claims it can be confirmed by satellites and defense systems monitoring the skies over ukraine russia's defense ministry however has made public its own radar data from the area at the time of the crash it says there was a second aircraft in the same corridor as the civilian jets and supposedly and i asked you twenty five attack jets which the traffic controller failed to identify soon

not issues of the one 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 before having spotted the jets an air traffic controller failed to identify it as the aircraft most probably didn't count yourself identification system which is characteristic of military at crufts. or the defense ministry also on. veiled satellite photo showing ukrainian anti aircraft missiles being moved to the area of the crash they include the type which kiev claims took down the passenger jet one of the missile launches was gone on the day of the crash and finally a table showing ukraine's radar activity was also presented with a peak on the day of the crash you can see july the seventeenth or marcus papadopoulos publisher and editor of politics first says the west jumping to conclusions will stand in the way of a proper investigation western journalists and western politicians are not crash

investigators you cannot determine how a plane was brought out of the sky within a few hours and that's what we saw last first day we've been a few hours western journalists and western public politicians have made up their minds that russia was responsible with it but it's not the way that an encryption resignation is carried out that's certainly not the way that a court of law would approach the matter certainly in england which has the finest legal system of the world they wouldn't tolerate that sort of behavior they'd be very cheap b.s. about these claims you have to have an impartial fora investigation carried out by experts and western journalists for example are not crash investigators or despite the lack of hard evidence the us has come out accusing militias on russia of being behind the plane crash the state department was asked about the basis for those accusations. well you're willing to present publicly that backs up your

version of the story which may well be the correct version of the story but all you have a while well it may well be but i think you know i don't know and you know. it because i haven't seen your evidence that shows that the missile was launched from rebel held territory but you're saying but said the only thing you're willing to put out publicly is the social media accounts i mean the social media that's part of it right but there is social media account that says that the disputes that are that claims to present a different a different version so are always admiration be met why don't you there are many many many theories but you're saying not all and you're going to be a logical well i would point out of the all of the accounts that do not support your version of events now wrong and all of the ones that do support it are right but if we make assessments based on a variety of intelligence in a variety of information some of which we can talk about publicly and some of which we can't. well while the investigation gets underway to determine what exactly

happened to the plane the mainstream western media seem to have already come to a decision they were blaming russia even before the independent investigation started. some of the evidence that's being used to support the accusations hours after the tragic crash of m.h. seventeen a toxic mix of politics and speculation fill the airwaves and headlines worldwide with the western media already determining who to blame this is not a case where terrorists are operating without an address or home base it's called the kremlin is it time to stand up to russia's president once and for all blame is largely on putin and i think we have to hold him accountable international monitors say they now have open access to the war torn area where the plane fell and are now working to reveal what exactly happened to m.h. seventeen but in the court of public opinion the investigation itself may have already been discredited they may be stymied in the investigation because they don't want to have the real proof of the fact that they actually shot this aircraft

down there have been reports saying that already some of the black black boxes had been recovered and where in moscow there has been no confirmation that the black boxes were even heading to moscow many unconfirmed reports have sprung up since the crash a tape was rightly circulated in the media with conversations between who were said to be ukrainian rebels as well as between the rebels and allegedly russian intelligence officers discussing a plane crash here has also provided a video of what it said was the launcher used to down m.h. seventeen about to be smuggled into russia these recordings were only very fine by the ukrainian intelligence service hardly an impartial party in the conflict the obama administration has put out its own version of events saying a missile was shot from rebel held territory but presenting no evidence to back it up the media does not treat all sources equally either and in the court of public

opinion innocent until proven guilty does not always apply. to check on our t. washington d.c. . well the real nervous t. agency is reporting ukrainian air force has a bomb in the town in the east of the country just thirty kilometers from the scene of the malaysian passenger jet crash this is returning to our top story that despite a ban on hostilities in the area imposed by the president we can now return to report as promised. despite the announcement by ukrainian president the approaching call of a no combat zone forty kilometers around the crash site apparently that's been violated russian in all this the agency reports that thirty kilometers from here in the town shocked or sky airplanes have been noticed and they indeed conducted an air strike that two hundred eighty two bodies that were recovered from the site of the crash are right here and were later taken to the city of saurez where there

were gaps in refrigerated train cars have now reached the town to call for the beyond the rebel controlled territory here in ukraine and reportedly the bodies will now be airlifted to the netherlands and we're expecting confirmation on that very soon meanwhile members of the always see monetary mission who are here in ukraine here at this site and observing everything that's going on said they were completely satisfied with the transfer of the bodies from the city off to how to give i have watched. the train and the wagons and i'm. thinking the story itself the bodies. group of quality meanwhile malaysian experts have also arrived on the scene five days after the crash took place and they have already got a hold of black boxes that were in control of the self-proclaimed defense forces here in east of ukraine that was done late night last night the self-proclaimed

governments all five eastern ukraine here said they would deliver those boxes provided that. the malaysian experts would then share these information from these black boxes with the international aviation authorities. has spoken to an eyewitness of the reported bombing here's what they had to say. it all happened right outside our town a military plane flew over our heads and dropped a bomb on a field some two hundred meters away from the city limits it was just one bomb i didn't know what they wanted to do but the crater is huge it happened very close to the sport where the malaysian boeing crashed. now while the international community is boiling over who is to blame for the fatal crash there are those who simply need to figure out how to move on as relatives and friends mourn their loved ones are to speak to all of went to meet one grieving family. i know but probably so.

the people of iraq to pay tribute to a family in this restaurant was part of the very fabric of the community this family is so within the whole community would mean a whole city so everybody knows someone here and has been coming you know for years so you're quite shocked restaurant owners both in general low died in the crash along with ms lewis mother jones we will only this son kevin wasn't on the plane now he's left pick up the pieces you can imagine how big the last cease fire ends his grandmother. works in the restaurant also. hope he can manage to. go on like you spend state outside the asian restaurant floral tributes. those who knew the family concerned more with laying the dead to rest it needs a national climate about investigating the tragedy the main thing is that which are the bodies returns are goodbye to them all in the proper way ultimately what

memorial service is like the one going on behind me show that even in its darkest hour the people of the netherlands are coming together to show that they stand as one peter all of a. well malaysian investigators on their way to the crash site narrowly avoided coming under fire during an army on least ass and artillery strikes on the region's capital still a stronghold of anti-government activists killing five civilians and wounding many more plus. the number of palestinians killed in israel's offensive pastas five hundred as a hospital in undated with injured civilians becomes the ninety's target of shelling as they would thus far reports from gaza.

clearly need to use. the u.k. home secretary has announced an inquiry into the death of former russian f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko who died in a london hospital in two thousand and six after he was allegedly poisoned. following the story alexander litvinenko as many of you will remember was a former f.s.b. officer who died in london in two thousand and six now some of his family say that they believe that he was working for six at the time of his death but he was allegedly poisoned with radioactive polonium after drinking tea with two russian men in a london hotel now a new investigation is set to examine whether or not russia was behind his death and the home secretary theresa may said she was hoping that the inquiry would be of some comfort to alexander litvinenko is a widow he's been searching for answers ever since he died there have been called

calls for this public inquiry ever since alexander litvinenko died but the government's resisted these calls up until now they thought that they could get away with a small judge led inquest but last year a judge ruled that indeed a public inquiry with its wider powers is exactly what is needed to try and get to the bottom of how alexander litvinenko died now the timing of this is of course. very significant it comes at such an acute. point in relations between the u.s. u.k. and russia as a moment of such tension in the wake of the crash of flight m h seventeen every single crane now ministers in westminster have reportedly said that the timing of the inquiry is pure coincidence but what a coincidence it is. well elsewhere israeli shelling has destroyed

the past two weeks of fighting in their homes on the streets and even while playing on the beach in a recent incident three children were killed by drone missiles while playing football on the roof of a 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 in impact that has on the long term development the children it really takes a toll and of course what's needed immediately is a station to the violence we need we need some kind of a ceasefire agreement in a refugee camp known for its danger under night time bombardment we met nine year old mother back one to enjoy the aid festival and the other days a ramadan i'm scared of when the moment happened and my siblings are too last

scared and we want them to stop bombing because we become afraid 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 a bit on themselves. and the. children how they can deal how they can to protect how they can secure it's not easy sometimes for a scare to secure a skip the children he is an average mother of six living in one of gaza's most densely populated camps and i'm 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 drones in the sky and i tell them they are taking videos so they know the. difference between a drone strike and an f.

sixteen strike i have a daughter in high school she's grown up and she hears the airstrikes she starts to scream and cry experts fear that this latest violence could creation upsurge in mental health issues which could affect long term prospects for peace some of the children. they will use violence as. their problem in the future and this is one of the this and you are talking about education 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 rooted by conflict and instability and among today's bereaved intro matteis children are tomorrow's parents leaders and a smaller number still resistance fighters parry fear r.t. . well in the west bank hundreds of

palestinians pelted israeli soldiers with stones as brutal clashes erupted once again over television military operation police fired tear gas to quell the unrest now some other international news a brief. blast in the afghan capital has killed at least four foreign security guards and injured six others as according to officials a suicide bomb on a motorcycle detonated himself at the gate of a foreign military base near a police station the taliban claim they carried out the attack saying they were targeting an intelligence center. and turkish police have raided the homes of policemen arresting more than fifty senior officers across the country are accused of corruption and abuse of office according to local media the policemen are also suspected of forming an illegal wiretapping and fraud many of the officers have already been removed from post since the beginning of the year when the government nor a fight against corruption. now to some news just coming into us russian

president vladimir putin says russia will do everything possible to influence the local militia in the east of ukraine in order to aid a fully fledged investigation into the boeing malaysian airlines crash putin adds that russia taking steps alone is not enough the whole international community needs to unite the statement comes at a session of the russian security council held in moscow. now coming up next breaking the set is here an international stay with us. 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 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 our 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 one the legal way but that's just my opinion.

well going to break in the set i'm abby martin so this past weekend tens of thousands of activists and countries around the world took to the streets to protest the continued israeli aggression on the gaza strip and parents demonstrators were met with tear gas and rubber bullets as they defied a recent ban on pro palestinian protests and not by the french government and five thousand people surrounded the israeli embassy and pasted photos of dead gazan children to its walls in south africa thousands marched in capetown in durban

demanding that the government expel the israeli ambassador in the wake of the country's ground invasion of gaza that has locked scores of civilians dead and in the u.s. thousands of activists rallied from washington d.c. to salman sco to condemn the ongoing scene and call for obama to put an end to the three plus billion dollars in military aid this country gives israel every year so as we continue to hear the horrific news coming out of gaza remember that perhaps nothing is more powerful than a global demonstration of solidarity because the stronger and the louder our voices get eventual e our leaders will have no choice but to listen now let's break the set. please take and leave very hard to take that leap. you better act with others when there really.

are. with so many global conflicts unfolding around the world the growing unrest in iraq has largely been back paged which could have something to do with the perception that america's involvement in the country is over whelmed fact it's still playing and military role in perpetual in the chaos in fact more than five thousand five hundred iraqi civilians have been killed in the first six months of this year alone according to the u.n. .
