8:04 am
well the plane's flight data recorders will help shed the light on what exactly happened that being handed to the u.k. for decoding according to the ukrainian government meanwhile western leaders have been criticizing the self-defense forces in ukraine's aced but hindering the investigation the work has been made more difficult by the presence of separatists . repeatedly prevented international investigators from gaining full access to the wreckage as investigators approached they fired their weapons into the air well initially investigators had trouble reaching the crash site which is in the middle of a conflict design but michael bought a ski from the. mission which is monitoring recovery efforts says that's no longer the case. we didn't receive any instruction that is most of you saw we had security cordon around us most of the time and we did visit the railway station
8:05 am
twice our passage to the affected area was incredibly fast as you can most of you know there are a lot of checkpoints along the way our observations were that we did not see any perimeter of security in the place there is clearly were noticeably less activity and the emergency services were no longer present tense used for what they said were planning purposes had been removed. while i'm at the west's accusations russia's defense ministry has provided evidence that k. have may have had a hand in the downing of flight m.h. seventeen it is made public its own right data from the area and it shows a second act craft in close proximity to the malaysian plane air traffic control failed to identify it which according to defense officials suggests it was a military jet. not that useful at five twenty one pm and thirty five seconds another mark of an aircraft appeared at the point of the crash. steadily monitored by radar station. and detour in the sky during the next four the minutes of having
8:06 am
supported the jets an air traffic controller failed to identify it as the aircraft most probably didn't help yourself identification system which is characteristic of military aircraft. well this is one of the satellite images released it shows ukrainian a missile systems being deployed from a base some distance from the crash site but in the next photo taken on the day of the tragedy one of the missile launches is missing it was detected by satellite near where the plane came down and this graph shows how radar activity in ukraine paints on the day of the crash july the seventeenth where ukraine's president denies that the country's military was involved in the downing of the plane talking to c.n.n. petro poroshenko said satellites and add defense systems were monitoring the skies of ukraine insisted the data from them will confirm that all ukrainian planes were on the ground at the time of the crash the u.s. has intelligence to back up their accusations against east ukraine militias and
8:07 am
russia but is holding back from making any of it public the state department was asked why. 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 need 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 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 what was that immersion be matt why don't there are many many many theories but you're saying not the way you're going to meet me a logical well i would point out though all of the accounts that do not support your version of events are now wrong and all of the ones that do support it are right but we make assessments based on a variety of intelligence in
8:08 am
a variety of information some of which we can talk about publicly and some of which we can't well accusations from the state officials were spurred by much of the mainstream media which is putting all the blame for the plane crash on russia long before any official investigation has reached a conclusion you can has been looking into what some news outlets a passing off it's. hours after the tragic crash of m h seventeen a toxic mix of politics and speculation filled 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
8:09 am
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 were 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 downed m.h. seventeen about to be smuggled into russia these recordings were only very find by the ukrainian intelligence service hardly an impartial party in the conflict the obama administration has put out its own version of events saying
8:10 am
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 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 it's not the way that an air crash investigation 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
8:11 am
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 fara investigation carried out by experts and western journalists for example not crash investigators or europe's foreign ministers are meeting right now to discuss possible further sanctions against russia but he president of the franco russian chamber of commerce and industry says there are serious differences which are dividing e.u. states for the time being there is no economy could switch and from there we have to realize that. there is a strong. view them of its member on the way there all of which would apply equally good things forever and there is something which is very improbable that is for the country of this size of worship of course you cannot see that it. can't be so you need to talk you clearly need to use the diplomacy. while the international

injuries witnessed by the medics he described lakes of blood in emergency rooms where the wounded are constantly arriving mads gilbert also appealed to western leaders to take a closer look at what's happening arguing that spending one night at a hospital where he works would be enough to change their minds now hari fear spoke to him earlier. what israel is actually doing it's applying an immensely disproportionate force which we see not at least in austral i mean when we look at all these burned bodies i think they use an ira of different grenades and charges. both of the bombardment of buildings and destroying of whatever hobbit out there is and to cause this sort of on to personal effects. and the shuttles are really hard to treat because it takes number one their deadly if they penetrate your cave scroll the chest abdomen they would cut open with blood vessels and you bleed to death within
8:25 am
a short time depending on the size of the shrapnel but if it doesn't penetrate like we had all these children would have hundreds of shrapnel start you have to sit and extract one by one and it's extremely painful and of course it's dangerous because you can have a confections so it's an irony of weaponry that they are using all the time. what is your response to the general the general situation of violence especially in this context of what's almost a cycle almost of every few years this happening yeah and that's that's really a good question because it seems i think i heard one spokesperson for i.d.f. saying that everybody who has a backyard needs that you knows that you need to do all the monet renaud and that and that's what we're doing basically every third year we have to go down and cut the grass it has a meaning killing people. in a way this is a huge obstacle to peace because it sort of moves everything backwards backwards backwards instead of finding you know what can we agree on like him on the bus said
8:26 am
if you want peace you have to talk to enemies this is not talking to enemies this is make your enemies really untalkative. while over in the west bank hundreds of palestinians pelted israeli soldiers with stones as brutal clashes erupted once again i've attended a military operation one local died and dozens were injured as police fired tear gas to quell the unrest. well max and stacey next aussie international with a look at whether wall street to really manage to sober up stay with us. we chase profit very large very attractive and now very globally recognized source of oil for the world into the future the world's cheapest and best petroleum
