5:01 am
thanks for being with us here with r.t. international. this nothing directly tying russia to the downing of flight m.h. seventeen u.s. intelligence officials have announced during a press briefing they believe it was the work of anti-government forces but the officials say they aren't even sure of nationality let alone who did it. and see it chalk it up sums up the briefing. u.s. intelligence officials speaking on conditions of anonymity really under thinking veil of secrecy are coming out and saying that they have absolutely no evidence and no proof showing any kind of involvement on behalf of the russian government when it comes to this tragedy certainly this is something that's
5:02 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. 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 mystique shoot down conducted by the anti key of fighters on the ground in. it's like because of so much secrecy and these reports really are and interpreted differently certainly in the u.s. media where you 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
5:03 am
and posts made by the ukrainian government and that's certainly not a first when it comes to the 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 jets 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 well the u.s. maintains that russia is responsible for creating the conditions for the crash by training and. forces in the east ukraine washington opinion is partly based on social media posts america's failure to show the hard evidence says it has only crash is up for discussion in today's crosstalk. the americans had extraordinarily
5:04 am
good signal intelligence they are spying on the entire world they know what you and i had for breakfast today it it defies belief to imagine that they didn't have spy satellites over the place with the events occurred that they did not have over the horizon radar watching what was going on they clearly do have in their possession. hard evidence for what brought down the plane now what they're saying but just scary seem to be saying was a we have excellent evidence much better than the russians but he won't say what it is if they have this evidence and it was in their favor i would imagine it would be all over the pages of the new york post right now. now the bodies of passengers killed in the malaysian flight aboard a military transport plane heading for the netherlands on his own cause that has
5:05 am
been following that passage and gave us this report from the new. coffins containing some of the bodies all of the flights m.h. seventeen have arrived in the heart of gulf airport a kompany by a military court sage the dutch expert so working there right now said that not all of the bodies have been looked at times they are still in the refrigerator the railway car said they will be opened and examined until the twenty fifth of july meanwhile the always see mission along with the malaysian aviation experts who are working here in the region at the crash sites they have said that they are satisfied with the level of access that they they're receiving here the malaysians have expressed gratitude for the access they received today 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 major parts missing from any
5:06 am
of the crash sites where today they missed a gaijin had just begun but there are all sorts of blames out there right now but malaysian prime minister said that say he is not about to blame any sides in this tragedy until the investigation is complete and there's concrete evidence as to whose fault it actually is meanwhile the black boxes or flight recorders now in possession all five british authorities and that interpol will now be trying to shed some light as to what happened on july seventeenth with the flight's all fall asian airlines but more now on the repatriation of the bodies peter all of us is in attendance. it's here at eindhoven airport that the first bodies of those killed on board malaysian airlines flight seventeen will be brought that will be on board a dutch military plane now once those bodies arrive here at eindhoven airport they're going to be taken by refrigerated trucks to the town of health to be more
5:07 am
correct to a military base just outside of the town of hilton now that that military base is the headquarters the main training center for medics in the army now this was something that was promised by marketing to 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 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 investigation into the m.h. seventeen downing is still in its early stages but some u.s. and the news outlets have already pin the blame they keep using russia of the crash and the cover up sometimes mistakenly speculation from moscow's official take. as more. the media
5:08 am
coverage in the west has been largely slanted against russia public opinion of course response to that kind of coverage of accenture 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 of the american people got it right in terms of who's to blame here folks fifty one percent said russia's indirectly involved but only 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 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
5:09 am
which reviews all the apparently put on quote fake fur gins 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. the western media present damning cries is the voice of the whole world investigative journalist says the press is trying to
5:10 am
protect the interests of europe and the us. 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 of america of london or of the other nato countries for example the mali use foreign policy chief has promised a new black list of russian sanctioned by europe will be announced by thursday
5:11 am
moscow's economy could also be targeted artie's party boy kaye has more. president putin in particular has direct responsibility to compel them to cooperate with the investigation that is the least they can do russian backed rebels quite likely a russian supplied weapon. russia can't wash its hands of this the context for this tragedy is russia's attempt to destabilize a sovereign state violate its territorial integrity and and train militias e.u. foreign ministers have agreed to extend its blacklist of russian individuals or putin's cronies as they call them to be targeted by a new wave of sanctions as well as russian companies in the energy defense and financial sectors another list of harsher so-called to three sanctions will be drawn up but they'll only be imposed at a later date if russia fails to stem what it says is a flow of weapons if it meant

a militants across the border as far as the measures taken by the united european union are concerned this is a logical consequence of the decision of the european council and the lack of progress we've seen on the russian side since then cross the pond the white house has long been pushing for the e.u. to take a harsher stance against russia and it welcomed it's not just towards more punitive measures even pushing for a full arms embargo france's said it will honor its contract to provide russia with one at craft carrier but could still back out of sending a second to moscow washington also trying to take advantage of the situation differently destroying the french and you are they are not in the district and i'm talking about. i don't think we're going to stop the self anyway the french eleven's think the final answer will be given. in britain the home secretary unveiled a new public inquiry into an old wound the death of former f.s.b.

agent alexander litvinenko in two thousand and six. it's all part of this russia campaign and the u.k. government will be hoping that bringing this back into the limelight will the trying to hold people against russia and so it's a political decision at least why all ministers reportedly said the timing of the probe was a coincidence but one that's likely to add to the already high tensions between the west and russia and i quote well an abandoned ski from the brussels based reporter magazine's earth of a human tragedy is being exploited by diplomats for political gain. whatever the official i say mainstream press says the reason and to standing in clarity that isn't political game and america the united states up back to the great classics retaining of russia of course they're also the allies of the united states in europe who are following closely the point of view or the politics of the united

5:22 am
state of chicago palestinian supporters have voiced their anger over the bloody event at the same time on the opposite side of the street and i was right he really took place a heavy police presence ensured that those demonstrations went off pace although small groups from both camps in front. the blame game between the israeli government and the mass that's resulted in hundreds of lost lives is the focus of today's breaking the set with. news outlets are still trying to spin the story that these horrors on the ground are all justified by israel's right to defend itself or the washington post and see the headline that reads how hamas uses its tunnels to kill and capture israeli soldiers and most disgracefully an op ed in the huffington post that reads the disgustingly predictable game of hamas i obviously don't condone violence on either side but
5:23 am
placing the blame of every civilian killed by israel on hamas is disingenuous at best and at worst blatant mr action. human rights watch has accused the f.b.i. and the u.s. department of justice of creating terrorists were biding citizens the group study found that the bureau sometimes went as far as funding potential terror acts encouraging people to commit them many countries that will be considered entrapment but not in the us. 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
5:24 am
this human rights watch report on day one by one of the co-authors tarc ismail thank you very much for joining thanks it's a pleasure 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 often 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 them of europe for example would define this as entrapment how is the u.s. government allowed to get away with orchestrating crimes inducing people into
5:25 am
committing them and then prosecuting them for committing those crimes why is that considered entrapment in the u.s. to prove entrapment the defense first needs to prove that the individual that the defendant was induced to commit the crime in the case. for example two thousand and four 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 the urge to do something and potentially even. that was used as evidence of predisposition to commit a terrorist attacks here what we see is a community that's being targeted for their very identity and that's something that should give us a lot of pots a lot of this target smile thank you very much for your time actually stated on human rights watch told us that prosecutors use the fear of terrorism to sway a jury. informant might spend weeks or months developing
5:26 am
a relationship with these people sometimes showing people inflammatory photos of 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 what weapons 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 one 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 ideas and thoughts and speech that should be protected by freedom of expression laws and i've got this if you see it starts coming up next in a couple of minutes and if you watching us in the u.k. it's getting a. little
