8:02 am
seven seven after a no combat zone was declared and which reportedly fired missiles at the road from don yes to the town of snares noir which is used by international investigators and observers when we get more details on this latest development we'll of course bring them to see here on r.t. international where u.s. intelligence says there is no direct link connecting russia to the malaysian plane crash in eastern ukraine washington does claim though that moscow created the conditions that led to the tragedy presenting their evidence that's an intel briefing official say anti government forces are most likely responsible for downing of the plane by mistake back in their proof are photos and videos posted on social networks which they can't verify and as to see a churkin or explains. 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
8:03 am
it comes to this tragedy certainly this is something that's 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 mystique 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 have been interpreted differently certainly in u.s. media were 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 kiev fighters we know that these u.s. intelligence officials are saying that they are basing these claims on social media
8:04 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 resembles 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 where the u.s. maintains the russia is responsible for creating the conditions for the crush of missing though this is probably based on social media post would have a hard evidence hans is kept concealed on the possible reasons for this come up in today's crosstalk. the americans have extraordinarily good signal intelligence they
8:05 am
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 now what they're saying but just scary seemed 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 oddly it's just believe me we have a mountain of evidence well they had a mountain of evidence on the iraqi w m d two they'd made it up. on the bodies recovered from the crash site of flight m.h. seventeen and now aboard a military transport plane heading for the netherlands from on course red has been following that report ration. following a military ceremony the bodies of the victims of the flight's m.h.
8:06 am
seventeen have departed from the city of gulf in ukraine a dutch forensic specialists have been saying that not all of the best to the victims' bodies have been looked at so far they have. two of the train cars and to remain to be a looked and they're saying that this procedure should be completed by the twenty fifth of july meanwhile the always see mission and malaysian airlines experts who are here on the scene of the crash are saying that they have received a full access to the scene of the tragedy and here is what they said 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 of the crash sites we visited a malaysian prime minister has announced that say he is not about to put
8:07 am
a blame on anybody in this tragedy until he has that concrete evidence as the investigation is just beginning meanwhile the black boxes that were in possession of malaysian aviation experts are now in the hands of british specialists and they will probably shed some light as to what happened to flight m h seventeen as to the identification of the bodies while that will be done by the interpol but with more now on the moving all of the victims into all of is in the netherlands. it's here at eindhoven airport that the first bodies of those killed on board malaysian airlines flight seventeen will be brought now would be on board a dutch military airplane now once those bodies arrive here at eindhoven airport they're going to be taken by refrigerated truck to the town of health to be more correct to a military base just outside of the town of hilton now that military base is the headquarters the main training center for medics in the army now this was something
8:08 am
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 what is hoped on says to what happened to flight m.h. seventeen will be found in the in flight data recorders which have now been delivered to the u.k. for analysis aviation security expert desmond ross told us are the kind of light they might shed on the cause of the tragedy. the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder are the two boxes were returning to the cockpit voice recorder is the name suggests will tell us what was said what noises were heard everything that occurred in the cockpit prior to the accident that can be very useful in those last moments of m h one seventy it could even record the
8:09 am
sound of the explosion it will certainly record the sound of warning bells goans and any comments made by the pilots the other one the flight data recorder specifically records the parameters of the aircraft its. characteristics at that time i would not expect there to be anything it unusual on that flight data recorder up until the moment of the explosion that information should all be stored on the recorders long as there are no tampering and no one to koreans with and they should be completely able to give us that information so i don't think it will take terribly long the cockpit voice recorder will be quicker but the flight data recorder require specialized equipment which is why it's going to england actually there's only about half a dozen special lives of burglaries in the world willis can be down i'm sure it will be a very painstaking examination to determine precisely what happened in the last moments seconds of m h one seventy five it could carry weeks. or the
8:10 am
official investigation into the mh seventeen tragedy is only in its initial phase but some of the u.s. and european news outlets already claim they know exactly what happened using the internet unverified for even theories which appeared online soon after the crash they made moscow the culprit got into account explains. the media coverage in the west has been largely slanted against public opinion of course response to that kind of coverage of a sentiment 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 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
8:11 am
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 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 this 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
8:12 am
brushed off as propaganda 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 or to. asians in the media against moscow over the downing of m h seventeen are being amplified by state officials american journalist robert perry says jumping to conclusions to score political goals has little respect to those killed. my concern has been that there's been a rush to judgment that. the way such terrible events should be treated if it's to have been a serious investigation and then reach conclusions and hold people accountable whatever it was but the first step should be to have a serious investigation which shows respect for those who were killed and what was the need to to reach conclusions before the investigation was undertaken. it was
8:13 am
really unseemly on the part of the of much of the mainstream u.s. press and frankly the obama administration secretary of state kerry was on the talk shows over the weekend essentially pointing the finger and saying he knows we know and making a case the case should come after the evidence is assembled and evaluated by professionals way serious people not not rushed out there as a way to make a point. where there are more updates to come from ukraine as well as more deadly autonomy fought a correspondent working fati has gone missing and the troubles we lost contact with graham phillips on monday night have made able to reach him say it's also off to the break the federal bureau of investigation for claims the u.s. government led law abiding citizens on a path to terrorism voting them into criminals.

our website r.t. dot com. to the middle east now and these are some of the latest pictures from gaza where israel has been conducting an anti terrorist operation for over two weeks. well israel's offensive has been condemned by the un human rights chief who says war crimes may have been committed. i stuff like continuing to document several other cases in which family there's a dense israel destroyed with the reported loss of civilian life and in which cliff limb in the early indications suggest not even a single member of an armed group was present these are just a few instances where this seems to be
8:19 am
a strong possibility that international humanitarian humanitarian law has been violated in the manner that could amount to walk around. well at the same time nothing pillay also condemned hamas for indiscriminately firing at israel meanwhile the un has just released a shocking report saying that over the past two days one palestinian child has been killed every hour is estimated at about seventy five percent of all the deaths in gaza also a billion with the death toll now standing at more than six hundred forty and as how we fear reports next those trying to save lives in the war zone are exposed to the very same dangers as the locals. with israel's navy to the west tanks and ground troops to the north east and south and it's modern air force all the while overhead there is no shortage of extreme risks for garza's paramedics and out of first responders the palestinian red crescent ambulances
8:20 am
haven't reached some affected areas leaving civilians distraught but entering such areas can be deadly for paramedics ambulances have come under fire in this recent escalation one medic has already died and it's happened before a paramedic died in the two thousand and twelve war more than a dozen others died in the two thousand and eight two thousand and nine conflict while in the last five minutes of being here at the al aksa hospital in middle middle we have seen three israeli and aerial vehicles fly over and we've seen just as many dead bodies around here. in order to palestinian paramedics do their job israel call the union national cease fire in an area that seen heavy strikes schools around and says fire engines and diggers rushed to help many injured and recover for the. loss of. missiles struck the surgery department which is home to casualty and trauma patients causing many deaths and injuries. known
8:21 am
first responders are internationally legally protected workers fearing that's not enough they've been joined by for. and activists volunteering as human shields but even with that protection for and volunteers shielding in the civilian evacuation and in the death of one teenager apparently as a result of multiple i.d.f. gunshots exhausted and overwhelmed with people needing their attention garza's paramedics have a seemingly impossible job to do all the while trying to avoid being part of the body count themselves carry fear r.t. . well israel insists it is simply exercising its right to defend itself an assertion that gets wide support among the international community what a british m.p. trying to point out that the palestinians have the same right let's take a look at what happened liberal democrat david ward tweeted that if he lived in
8:22 am
gaza he'd probably fire rockets at israel to our party spokesman immediately responded saying words words were not representative of the liberal democrats and the m.p. would face disciplinary action was a condemnation too from the other parties the conservative party chairman said that the tweet was an appalling incitement to violence or the labor party described the comment as vile and irresponsible ward has previously found himself in hot water over his anti israel remarks once calling it a zionist state. the war of words over the middle east conflict is just as heated offline in the latest in a series of antiwar protests of supporters in palestine and voice over the bloody events in gaza outside the israeli embassy in chicago while on the other side of the street a pro israeli rally took place at the same time i had the police presence and showed both demonstrations were peaceful small groups from both camps did confront each other. now america's f.b.i.
8:23 am
is accused of being a bit too keen on finding terrorists even creating them out of lure abiding citizens through its methods not human rights watch says that the agency conducted sting operations that facilitated or invented the target's willingness to act sometimes it went as far as funding potential terror acts encouraging people to commit them. one of the authors of the reports i made america. of american muslims have been arrested prosecuted and imprisoned for attempting to carry out terrorist attacks but according to the 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 this human rights watch report i'm joined by one of the co-authors smile thank you very much for joining me you guys analyze and focus primarily on on twenty seven of
8:24 am
the most high profile cases boiled by the f.b.i. 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. pulling through with the plot that the f.b.i. accused them we have a discrete and insular minority the american muslim community being targeted by the f.b.i. in a way that special everyone is under surveillance as we've seen from the n.s.a.
8:25 am
that's taking in a lot of data that we should certainly be concerned about but 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 pause. thank you very much for your time as you state it. well to you also spoke to the deputy director of the washington broad of human rights watch she says prosecutors use the fear of terrorism to sway juries. the informant might spend weeks or months developing 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 pretty quickly they provide it 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 then can admit evidence totally unrelated to the defendant but about terrorism in general and that inflames
8:26 am
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 was. now remind of our breaking news this hour a military jet has reportedly been brought down in eastern ukraine and kiev militia claim they hit the fighter plane in an area declared a no combat zone the pilot is believed to have objected another jet may have been damaged in the incident stay with r.t. international we'll bring you updates as soon as we get them. out next it's breaking the set without being off it why.
