investigation but rather slowing it down and the president is also pointing at the un going situation in the area very close to the city of as the president says that ukrainian troops attacked self-defense and then now it's almost at the same time as government forces were handing over the black boxes from the crash to international experts and investigators working at the scene. as the investigation into the crash gets underway russia's defense ministry has provided evidence that kiev may have had a hand in the tragedy it's made public its own radar data from the area and it shows a second craft in close proximity to the malaysian plane traffic control failed to identify which according to defense officials suggest it was a military jet. so at five twenty one pm and thirty five seconds another mark of an aircraft appeared at the point of the boeing crash was steadily

were on the ground at the time of the crash but the u.s. says there's intelligence to back up the accusations against east ukraine militias i'm to 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 have a while well it may well be but i think 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 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 leave me a logical well i would point out of the all of the accounts that do not support
10:09 am
your version of events now wrong and all of the ones that do support it are right because you 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. now 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 which account 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.

saying that everybody who has a backyard needs that you knows that you need to to mow the lawn every now and then 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 peace you have to talk to enemies this is not talking to enemies this is make your enemies really untalkative. all over in the west bank hundred dollars to help israeli soldiers with stones as brutal clashes erupted once again over television military operation one local nothing to enjoy. the unrest. now to some other international news making headlines this hour i lost in the afghan capital has killed at least four foreign security guards and injured six others that's according to officials a suicide bomber on a motorcycle detonated himself at the gates of a foreign military base near

a police station the taliban are claiming they carried out the attack saying they were targeting intelligence and. turkish police have raided the homes of policemen arresting more than fifty senior officers across the country they were accused of corruption and abuse of office local media reports that a policeman are also suspended suspected of forming an illegal gun why it's happening and fraud many of the offices were removed from their posts at the start of the year when the government launched a fight against corruption. now coming up insights into canada's controversial oil industry that's next they were not international. in florida the debate over whether illegal immigrants should be able to get
10:26 am
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 too 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 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 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.
