9:06 am

president denies that the country's military was involved in the downing of the plane talking to c.n.n. petro poroshenko says satellites and add defense systems were monitoring the skies of ukraine he insists that data from them will confirm that all ukrainian planes were on the ground at the time of the crash or the u.s. says there's intelligence to back up their accusations against ukraine militias on 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 and while well it may well be but i you know i don't know and you know. 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
9:09 am
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 well i 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 because we make assessments based on a variety of intelligence and a variety of information some of which we can talk about publicly and some of which we can't while accusations from state officials were spurred by much of the mainstream media which is putting all blame for the plane crash on russia long before an official investigation has reached a conclusion you can has been looking into what some news outlets a passing off as facts. 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 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 that perhaps a tape was widely circulated in the media with conversations between who were said to be ukrainian rebels as well as between the rebels and allegedly russian
9:11 am
intelligence officers discussing the 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 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 editor of politics first says the west's 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 pulled out of the sky within

political and military and i'll say don't call my website. now the u.k. will hold a public inquiry into the death of former russian f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko poisoned in london nearly a decade ago investigation could shed light on who was behind the assassination reports. 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 and money 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 that she was hoping that the inquiry would be of some comfort to alexander litvinenko is a weirdo last year
9:20 am
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 very significant to come right. in relation with us. in the wake of the crash of flight m h seventeen over eastern ukraine now ministers in westminster have reportedly said that the timing of the inquiry is pure coincidence but what a coincidence it is. is really warning shots have been fired at a building in gaza city where foreign journalists are based there are no casualties but the building which is situated in a residential area was evacuated israel earlier warned it will not be responsible for journalist safety in the area but it's gaza civilians who have been affected most. militant operation began two weeks ago the offensive has claimed the lives of
9:21 am
six hundred five palestinians israel has lost twenty seven of its soldiers and one is missing. but it. is. the world. and. while adding to the civilian toll was monday's a time shelling of a hospital in central gaza which killed at least five people one norwegian doctor volunteering in gaza writes an open letter during the attention to the horrific
9:22 am
injuries witnessed by the medics he describes lakes of blood in emergency rooms where the wounded are constantly arriving mads gilbert also appealed to west in need is to take a closer look at what's happening arguing the spending one night at a hospital where he walks would be enough to change their minds ari fish spoke to him. 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 shackles are really hard to treat because it takes number one their deadly if they penetrate your cave it was called the chest abdomen they were cut open with blood vessels and you bleed to death within a short time depending on the size of the shrapnel but if it doesn't penetrate like
9:23 am
we had all these children would have hundreds of shrapnel stuck you have to sit and extract one by one and it's extremely painful and of course it's dangerous because economic infections so it's an irony of weaponry that they are using all the time. what is your response 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 denomination on that and that's what we're doing basically every third year we have to go down and cut the grass that 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 said if you want
9:24 am
peace you have to talk to enemies this is not talking to enemies this is make your enemies really untalkative. over in the west bank hundreds of palestinians pelted israeli soldiers with starnes as brutal clashes erupted once again telling a military operation one local died and dozens were injured as police fired tear gas to quell the unrest. now to some other international news making headlines this hour a blast in the afghan capital has killed at least four foreign security guards and injured six others according to officials a suicide bomber on a motorcycle detonated himself at the gates of a fallen military base near a police station the taliban are claiming they carried out the attack saying they were targeting an intelligence center. and turkish police have raided the homes of a policeman arresting more than fifty senior officers across the country they're
