draws up further sanctions against russia over the crisis in ukraine. and it's nice to have you company with r.t. international now there's nothing directly tying russia to the downing of flight m.h. seventeen the u.s. intelligence officials have been anxious during a press briefing they believe it was the work of antigovernment forces but the officials say they aren't even sure of the nationality let alone who did it. sums up the briefing the west intelligence official speaking on conditions of anonymity really under a thick veil of secrecy if you are coming out and saying that they have absolutely no evidence and no proof showing any kind of involvement on behalf of the russian. this tragedy certainly this is something that's
12:02 am
a very big development in this story because this does not really fit the narrative that the u.s. has been pushing in this whole ordeal as of course meanwhile certainly the investigation is really just beginning to take off importantly we've heard from one u.s. intelligence officials say we don't know when name we don't know rank and we're not even one hundred percent sure of a nationality this keeping this in mind they are continuing to say that it's likely this was a mistake shoot down conducted by the anti key of fighters on the ground in eastern ukraine but it looks like because of so much secrecy and these reports really are you had to interpret it differently certainly in the u.s. media we seeing journalists going so far as to say that they have don't even have any certainty at all in terms of this being specifically the anti keo fighters we know that these u.s. intelligence officials are saying that they are basing these claims on social media

and posts made by the ukrainian government and that's certainly not a first when it comes to be ukrainian crisis on monday russia's defense ministry has said also that they have proof that there was another clean in the air next to the malaysian airlines flight before it was shot down they believe this plane resembled a ukrainian military jet and they have been demanding comments or an explanation from kiev and kiev of course thus far has denied this we also do know that russia's defense ministry has also said that they have images of ukrainian missile systems within the zone of the crash russia has now handed it right. to the european union american investigative journalist says the lack of hard evidence is just. we now see the ministration stepping back walking back some of these comments about the involvement of russia the administration saying we don't even know that
12:04 am
the training happened in russia but again we're pretty sure we're not going to tell you who these sources are again they're all speaking anonymously but we're pretty sure this is all happening in russia again but not offering any evidence here's what we're going to see happen is the administration kind of gives this kind of soft explanation that they don't have evidence but with the nudge in the wink that says but we really know media picks up on that they'll begin to report a little bit and then within a few weeks we'll probably see that this becomes a non-story in many ways because it now no longer fits the narrative that the administration was hoping for and that media was hoping for and they'll move on to the next story of the netherlands which is leading the investigation into what happened to flight m.h. seventeen is asked britain to tell you black box flight recorders recovered at the crash site for more on the private. their own coast that he's in yet for us but a man that we're hearing that the probe is underway what more can you tell us about the progress that's being made. this investigation had finally
12:05 am
began five days after the crash took place the bodies of the victims that be that were recovered at the crash side were initially taken to the city of torres about santa think law meters away from the crash site stored in a railway car. refrigerators cars and so they had then been taken to the city of donetsk and then to. interpol are now working in how to call for and identifying the bodies and such prime minister said that these bodies will be flown to the netherlands soon as it can be done and he said wednesday could be the day meanwhile the head of the dutch forensics team peter van fleet's said that he is satisfied with the way the bodies have been stored and transferred to the. go beyond the territory controlled by self-proclaimed defense forces here in eastern
12:06 am
ukraine meanwhile the black boxes had been given to the british aviation authorities at the moments after they words to malaysian aviation experts who arrived here five days after the crash i mean while the always seemed wanted her mission who are working here on the ground expressed satisfaction with the way. everything is being handled here and malaysian aviation authorities. and the airlines. who arrived here at the scene also said they have unrestricted access. the malaysians have expressed gratitude for the access they received today and they were quite happy with that. in fact they said they felt quite protected. they have also said they have not seen any evidence of parts at least the major parts missing from any of the crash sites because it today.
12:07 am
the always see spokesperson also said that perhaps it's time for those people with more expertise to finally come here to the donetsk region and also he said there yet see here or see that people from the international aviation authorities ok thanks for the man that artie's but i'm an casa ref meanwhile the bodies of the victims are to be transported from ukraine to the netherlands where they will be identified with more on that has paid for all of. it's here at eindhoven airport that the first bodies of those killed on board malaysian airlines flight seventeen will be brought on board a dutch military airplane just behind me you can actually see an australian military transport that will be heading in the opposite direction of as part of what's being called a an air bridge that will make sure that all of the bodies come out of ukraine and enough equipment goes into the country so that
12:08 am
a correct investigation can take place now once those bodies arrive here at eindhoven airport they're going to be taken by a refrigerated truck to the town of health to be more correct to a military base just outside of the town of hilton now that's that military base is the headquarters the main training center for medics in the army now this was something that was promised by marketer the dutch prime minister on monday during a press briefing he said it was the number one priority to get the bodies out of ukraine and begin that identification process and it seems that that's now well underway and they'll be bringing some kind of rest by to those families who lost their loved ones on board this tragic tragic flight. well the investigation into the mh seventeen downing is in the early stages still but mainstream us in the news and lets them seem to need it to pin the blame they keep using russia of both the crash and the coverup sometimes presenting the wildest speculations as moscow's

official take and dismissing inconvenient arguments again and again as more and that. the media coverage in the west has been largely slanted against russia public opinion of course response to that kind of coverage of accent i meant is that russia is probably involved and if involved they're probably going to cover it up that's where the public sentiment is in the c.n.n. poll the american people got it right in terms of who's to blame here folks fifty one percent said russia isn't directly involved but really the stakes are high whoever shoulders the blame for this atrocity is going to be the target of global anger and right now it looks like it's russia's fault because. it's russia's fault . it's quite clearly the latest twist in this propaganda war the russians through their ambassador here in kuala lumpur presenting their version of events to the malaysian media. there's also been attempts to discredit russian sources of information c.n.n. put out a breakdown of what it called russia's propaganda the first item on the list is
12:10 am
this it says the russian take passengers were already dead when put aboard the m h seventeen but when you follow the link on this page it has an article in russian which reviews all the apparently quote unquote fake fur germans and conspiracy theories that are out there that's what the article says specifically about the theory that the bodies were dead before the crash it says literally then there is information which is simply impossible to believe c.n.n. presents it and calls it the russian take it is not the russian take. in the same breakdown right after this dead bodies theory c.n.n. puts russian defense officials showing evidence that ukraine had the capability to shoot down the plane moscow is now saying ukraine did it showing evidence that it had the capability to do it contrary to what kiev is now saying that claim is brushed off as top again that information is now politically charged on all

airwaves it seems many journalists have already handed down their verdict in washington i'm going to check on. western media present damning cries is the voice of the whole world investigative journalist he says the press is trying to protect the interests of europe and the u.s. . this is typical of the western media every time america's or britain's or the european union's interests are at hand they want to say america things or america wants the will see the international community wants america washington believes that they have the right to speak on behalf of the international community and they don't they certainly do not speak on behalf of argentina or brazil or mexico or other countries throughout the world so definitely it's just a way of carrying out their psychological warfare to believe that they are voicing the opinion of the vast majority of people of the world over when it is not the case that they were merely repeating or seeing what is the belief or the interest

on a daily basis at least one person has become victim of the latest skirmish is as protesters demand and then to the guards or offensive demonstrators three stones at israeli soldiers while they responded with stun grenades and take gas. human rights watch has accused the f.b.i. and the u.s. department of justice of creating terrorist ties of law abiding citizens the group study found that the bureau sometimes went as far as funding potential terror acts encouraging people to commit them. explains amid america's war on terror hundreds of american muslims have been arrested prosecuted and imprisoned for attempting to carry out terrorist attacks but according to a report released by human rights watch most of the high profile terrorist plots that were foiled by the f.b.i. were actually manufactured and orchestrated by the government to talk more about
12:22 am
this human rights watch report on day one by one of the co-authors tarte ismail thank you very much for joining thanks so much you guys found that the government was actually creating terrorists out of law abiding citizens. but we looked at twenty seven cases that we thought would give us a good idea of what's been going on since september eleventh and the cases we looked at were made up of some sting operations as you say and we looked at other cases where overbroad material support laws were used to prosecute people for things that they said the f.b.i. was playing a major role instigating and also in offering many of the tools that the individuals who were later arrested and convicted needed in order to be successful and pulling through with the plot that the f.b.i. accused in europe for example would define this as entrapment how is the u.s. government allowed to get away with orchestrating crimes inducing people into
12:23 am
committing them and then prosecuting them for committing those crimes why is that considered entrapment in the u.s. to prove entrapment defense first needs to prove that the individuals that the defendant was induced to commit the crime in the case. for example. two thousand for a case out of new york city so rod said you know i could understand why a palestinian who had his home attacked or his family killed might feel that to do something and then so you didn't pull itself up that was used as evidence of predisposition to commit a terrorist attacks here what you see is a community that's being targeted for their very identity and that's something that should give us a lot of a lot of target smile thank you very much for your time actually stated human rights watch says the f.b.i. often does almost all the work planning a terror act for the suspect the informant might spend weeks or months developing a relationship with these people sometimes showing people inflammatory photos of
12:24 am
violence perpetrated by americans and encouraging them to plan terrorist attacks and then the f.b.i. of course provides the means to commit the attacks frequently they provide and they have provided money to allow people to travel to locations to plan a terrorist attack so in some cases we've documented the f.b.i. essentially manufacturing the entire plot the prosecution can admit evidence totally unrelated to the defendant but about terrorism in general and that inflames the jury the jury is scared of terrorism what we've seen is law enforcement targeting people at times based on idea. of speech that should be protected by freedom of expression was. a quick look at some other world news a suicide driver has run a car bomb into a police checkpoint in a shia muslim district in baghdad killing at least twenty one people will be hard for them civilians dozens more were injured in the attack the blast hit as people
