the bugle followed by a minute's silence that as you would imagine was impeccably observed now it's understood from talking to airport officials here that around one thousand relatives of those who died. in attendance also in attendance dignitaries from from the australian government the australian ambassador to the netherlands is here also king william alexander of the netherlands and queen and queen and also as well the dutch prime minister mark once these those bodies are loaded they're going into funeral cars and being driven to a military base near to the city of hope for some military base is the headquarters of the. medical training for the army now that's of seventy that can handle such a large amount of bodies and can they can try and go about initiating the identification process we understand that will be a very long process it will be done with the help of the netherlands forensic

institute the n f i one of the. we go to this one of the finest forensic trees anywhere in the world will be helping with the id process which could take quite a long time but it's been a very solemn day here in the balloons a day of national mourning flags across the country at home must we did see a very solemn service take place here that was peter all over in the netherlands and as the world mourns for the victims of the malaysia airlines crash the investigation continues into what brought the plane down investigators in the u.k. are studying flight recorders that the anti kiev separatists handed over on tuesday they say the black boxes are damaged but have not been tampered with meanwhile fighting in the region rages on despite a truce around the crash site kiev says to ukrainian fighter jets were shot down today by separatists using shoulder fired missiles as the hostilities in sewell international investigators remain at work piecing together what happened on that

fateful day our correspondent roman coast is at the crash site and brings us more on this report. according to the monitors from the organization for security and cooperation in europe there are still body fragments scattered here and it's going to be a kilometer radius of the crash site no it's all of them have been recovered always see had been here on the ground starting from the second day after the crash and malaysian aviation experts have also arrived here five days after the crash and that's when the investigation commenced all the sides involved in this investigation including the monitors expressed satisfaction with the level of access that they you got here with a level of security and makes. a gratitude in that regard as well meanwhile malaysian prime minister said he is not about to blame anybody for the trash of this malaysian airlines flight seventeen until concrete evidence is there so that

he's waiting for the investigation to commence investigation had started but said it's a long way from finished and meanwhile the black boxes that were recovered from this area are now in possession of a u.k. authorities and perhaps they will be able to shed some light as to what happened to and seventeen. that was archies roman coaster of now in spite of initial assumptions u.s. intelligence officials released a report stating they could find no evidence of direct russian involvement in the downing of flight seventeen but the officials did accuse moscow of creating the conditions that led to the disaster artie's amir a david has more on the intel and what the state department is saying about the crash. senior u.s. intelligence official blade out the evidence they have regarding who they believe bears the responsibility for the malaysian airliner i was shot down just

a week ago early yesterday evening the intelligence community said they use satellite sensors and other intelligence gathering to determine that the missile originated in a separatist held territory officials reiterated that they believe the plane was likely shot down by an take a separatist using and as a eleven surface to air missile they also made clear that they have no evidence at this point that the missile used to shoot down the passenger jet came from russia that being said the u.s. still believes russia was responsible for creating the conditions that led to the demise of the airliner now earlier today i attended a state department briefing where i asked for more information on this evidence they walk through an intelligence assessment case and they talked about some additional pieces of the classified information that i can walk through today that bolsters our case that we know what happened here they also showed imagery of

training facilities they should imagery that this site including a trajectory based on classified information that they were able to provide that showed the trajectory of e.s.a. eleven i also asked about the evidence offered to the u.s. by the ukrainian government take a look at that exchange some of the evidence u.s. is relying on our social media postings and videos made in public by the ukrainian government has these all been authenticated again that's why i said the audio data which is part of the social media. has been authenticated by the intelligence community analysts social media is obviously only one part of the of the puzzle here it's something we look at but obviously we back everything up to the extent that we can when we can with other intelligence as well this new information was released just before learning about two ukrainian fighter jets that were shot down by rebel fighters today i asked the spokeswoman whether there was concern that a break in ceasefire could in p.v. investigation and here's what she had to say obviously we would be concerned about the separatists not upholding a cease fire the ukrainians have repeatedly shown their willingness and ability to

do so she also address recent questions by the russian government regarding and as you fighter jet that was flying within three miles of the malaysian airliner they argue that in su twenty five fighter might have shut down the aircraft with an air to air missiles they have judged at that engagement would be implausible for the following reasons the su twenty five has a ground attack aircraft the only missiles it carries are short range cues me are short range infrared guided missiles ground photography from the crash site is consistent with the expected damage from a surface to air missile but it does not correspond in fact is inconsistent with what we would expect to see for an air to air missile as russia claims still a lot of questions a lot of concerns surrounding this conflict and what the international investigation will yield reporting in washington on your day that r.t. so you can stay with our t. for more coverage of the malaysian jet crash investigation get updates on our team

we have information then being held captive by the ukrainian security service that's according to. we can't verify this. denies detaining the journalists or that they ever did however in may graham was all detained by security services of ukraine for alleged espionage links he was questioned for about thirty six hours and released on tuesday evening he has informed me that he was playing to go to the area of donetsk airport now we have warned him that it's extremely dangerous that was the scene of some of the most intense fighting over the past several days nevertheless graham said that he's going to go he sent a text message overnight saying that he has arrived there shortly and that was the last that anybody has ever heard from him at our team however we did speak to one person one journalist who has remained. who was with them when they were heading to . move forward. to the airport there are some two hundred fifty

meters away we turned back because we emerged from the trees and i really. like a few of we felt we could be an easy target so we decided to go back. and warn it could be dangerous. the reporters started to. cross that. i think they could shoot him where you. are. apparently the reporter he talked very quietly we were around was he said he was surrounded by ukrainian army graham. get him out of there you know moscow has demanded that both journalists fear least immediately the country so foreign ministry has to be some of the statement saying that this is a television that i did all the work that you did then the international journalists who are providing the kind of information that official finds undesirable at the same time r.t. has also contacted u.k.'s foreign office who are saying that they are keeping

relationship with the russian made r d one eighty rocket engine. well the r d one eighty history with regard to the u.s. air force goes back to the early one nine hundred ninety s. during the dissolution of soviet union one of the reasons that the united states wanted to perhaps or buying this engine and other other technology was to keep it from falling into the hands of third world countries for example at the time russia was needing some hard currency and they would have been tempted to perhaps sell technology such as this to countries that perhaps were unfriendly to united states so we looked at ways we could develop a mutually beneficial relationship in this area with russia and one of the obvious places with this was in terms of engine technology because traditionally the russians just build more powerful liquid fueled engines interesting so well what are the reasons that you think maybe at the at that air force general. at believe

that the u.s. needs to cut this dependency well i think over the past ten to fifteen years the relationship has changed in several ways initially it was uncertain because we really didn't have much of a relationship with the russians then it became very stable the relationship was mutually beneficial we received numerous argue when eighty engines the atlas five vehicle has performed wonderfully the engine has performed wonderfully and the relationship was very stable but in recent months because of what's happened in ukraine in crimea and the sanctions that the u.s. has imposed on the russian response. it has caused the russian government specifically minister by the name of dmitri were goes in to threaten to cut off the supply of these engines and initially it looked as if it was going to be a real threat recently it looks like the russians are less certain about cutting

off the engines and so even though it is there's still uncertainty about that it is creating created this sense in the united states that we. we really can no longer trust the russians to supply this engine do you think gen shelton in calling for for our disconnect. on these rockets do you think it's kind of political based or it is it an economic woe there or there are elements of of three right now it's really become more of a national security issue it's become one of making sure that we have an independent industrial base one that is able to produce. an engine similar to the r.v. one eighty cost effectively as possible but no longer is cost the primary motivator here one of the reasons we wanted to continue buying the r d one eighty is because it's relatively cheap i believe each one costs anywhere between ten to twelve million dollars we just haven't been able to produce an engine that power for that that. cost so at this point it's no longer about politics it's no longer about cos

it's really about maintaining our independence how long do we if if this technology is out there how long do you think before the u.s. can start building its own or something similar why can't we just make our own it's important to make sure you understand that we do have very good liquid fuel engines and since they're not as powerful as the already one eighty and so for example the delta for a vehicle that would launch the time not as frequent as the atlas five it has the are a sixty eight which is produced by rocket done not just powerful but you got to use more of them which makes it more expensive so to develop something similar to the already one eighty it would probably take at least three to four to as many as eight years from what i'm seeing and the cost could be upwards of two to three billion dollars if the government the u.s. government decides to subsidize this development not a problem if it were to leave lockheed to do it on its own it probably wouldn't happen really ok it's a lot heat is a vital component to lock it is the is the company that produces the atlas five

rocket and one of the reasons it hasn't wanted to pursue the. of its own engine with the help of subcontractors of course it's costly and they don't want to invest that much money when they have a perfectly good option in the already one eighty as long as the relationship with the russians is stable that has changed ok so now real briefly we have about a minute left what are some maybe alternatives that we could probably look into are there any well to it in terms of the engine yes well you could you could build something similar to the already were made here in the united states the company u.s. companies that are involved with the with the russians do have the blueprints and have the rights to develop a r d one eighty copy we haven't done it because there hasn't been a need so that's one option the other option is to simply start from scratch look at the american companies that are out there like eighty k. like aerojet rock a dime to see if they could develop something brand new that's more costly but it

can be done well that that's good news and that was a mark outcasts or us as a reactor of space studies at the tail group thank you so much for me today and before we go dull forget to stay tuned at nine pm for larry king now tonight encore episode features a panel discussion on three d. printing here's a look at what's to come. this is large scale printing oh i was so simple a three d. printers for the average consumer the average consumer and for a couple of hundred dollars have on their desk within a matter of days we're going to see it as ubiquitous as t.v.'s and smartphones yeah i think i think so it's there's a there's a lot of content that that's out there people i think want to be creative i think the three d. printing technology is an able or that allows people to be be creative you think about it in a larger scale you start to look at the capability of inventory at large box stores in the you have a a line maybe of three d. printers so you're looking at

a police plumbing for these jurors common fixture you would actually maybe take a picture on your i phone you know look at that joint you're looking at send that down to the big box store and go in go pick it up. so to minute nine pm tonight right here on our team america and that does it for now for more on the stories we just covered go to you tube dot com forward slash r t america and check out our web site r t v dot com forward slash usa it also follow me on twitter at manila chad have a great night. on marinating in the financial world. series developments i mean i'm. only taking i. mean like there are now i'm hot.

whenever any of our politicians about terrorism or the middle east they like to try to make complex issues sound black and white the us supports pritam in democracy and the us is against all terrorists anyone with their eyes open knows this is a crock of crap but a recent arms deal should be crazy enough to rattle him in the blindest among us it probably won't but here goes anyway the us just sold patriot missile parts and apache attack helicopters to cover to the tune of eleven billion dollars it was the biggest weapons deal to the us this year and officials are sites our politicians are rationalizing the sale of such heavy duty weaponry to an already volatile area

by saying they are helping to aren't caught or against threats from iran and we all know iran is a bad country at least right now it is so it's good to arm anyone against them right that's the black and white line of crap they're selling now here comes the shades of grey you see carter supports a muslim brotherhood offshoot with connections to hamas you know hamas one of the us is mortal enemies because of their ongoing war with r.b.f. up israel another of our good friends saudi arabia is angry with carter and recently threatened to blockade them for their support of the muslim brotherhood we just sold ten billion dollars worth of weapons to saudi arabia last year so we've sold weapons to both sides of that conflict but even more confusing. is that washington has actually singled out of qatar for financing terrorism according to the washington institute a few months ago david cohen the treasury department's undersecretary for terrorism

and financial intelligence actually called cutter permissive terrorist financing environment the state department has accused her of funding al qaida in syria as well as the group best known as isis in iraq you know the terrorist group that is undoing all of the u.s. is patriotic work all over iraq right now the u.s. says that group is getting money from cutter directly not only is our middle east policy not black and white it's crossed right over to confuse gray and gone through that to a muddy dirty brown through which a river of red blood runs through we change allegiances all the time and our politicians spin whatever stories they want to justify whatever we feel like doing there to put the story back into black and white then let me ask you this if the u.s. accuses cutter of giving tons of money to terrorists.
