there's. shoes that no one is there with to get that you deserve answers from. politics. our. first bodies of m.h. seventeen victims arrive in the netherlands for examination and repatriation to their families while investigators hunt for more remains and clues at the crash site. yet on the crash is turned into an information war by western media echoing the u.s. state department's accusations against russia refusing to hear any counter claims. plus r.t. tries to find a reporter it lost contact with while working in eastern ukraine with the may be held by government forces. on israel's ground operation in gaza by tanks helicopter gunships and warplanes leaves more than seven hundred palestinians dead is

diplomats struggle to drop our troops they are. there thanks for joining us here with r.t. international now the body of forty of those who died when flight m h seventeen crashed have arrived in the netherlands to a solemn welcome. tell . us how. of people marched in amsterdam wearing white in memory of the victims of the crash artie's peter all of it i know of an airport where two more planes are expected to

arrive on. the process of bringing those killed on board malaysian airlines flight seventeen here to the netherlands is underway the first to transport planes arrived here in eindhoven bringing the first forty coffins containing the remains of those who died they were greeted by a solemn ceremony alone bugler setting up a minute's silence that was impeccably observed around one thousand relatives who are believed to have been the only airstrip at the time watching the ceremony along with the dutch royal family and the prime minister of the netherlands the bodies were then removed from the airplanes by a military on the god made up of all of the armed services of the netherlands and put into funeral cars they've now been taken to a military base near to the to the town of hope a zone where the identification process will take place here at the airport itself

where those bodies will continue to arrive floral tributes are piling up becoming another center of remember and here in the netherlands all of those who lost their lives. according to investigators they're not all the bodies have been found yet. at the crash site in the next region and joins us live now we're hearing there the search for bodies continue jim presumably that is taking place over quite a wide area. yes above body fragments along with the debris all flights and seventeen are scattered over around a fifteen to twenty kilometer area here in the in a rural parts off eastern ukraine who got farms and villages all around us so it is going to probably take quite a long time to collect all the evidence and the remaining fragments the victims of flight m.h. seventy you know while they always see mission monitoring mission along with

malaysian experts are continuing their work day here on the ground earlier they expect express their gratitude for the level of access that said they have received to this site some investigators mentioned rumors all losing in this area and they have addressed this issue and. i'm i know their fair reports of looting and so on it's impossible for us to verify that but in the lasers and again it's their second day they said they did they did see still a second circuit remember under valuables lying around that hadn't been taken. flight recorders are a common unknown as black boxes have been recovered from this area they are now in possession of british aviation authorities who are holding some alliance as to what actually happened to flight m h seventeen they said the flight recorders had been damaged but there is still intact and they have not been tampered with the

malaysian prime minister earlier said that he is not about to put blame on anybody at all as to why this crash it's taking place until concrete evidence is in place and the spokesperson for always see also said that. not all of the investigators are here on the scene and they're yet to hear from international aviation commission and perhaps it's time for those with more expertise to finally come here and begin investigating. really. their own cost of reporting live from the crash site in the region thank you. well ideations she. lost told us what information could be gained from the flight recorder. 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 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 is for characteristics at that time 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's no tampering and no one to koreans with and they should be completely able to give us that information 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 was going to england actually there's only about half a dozen special trees in the world where this can be done 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. so the investigation is ongoing but some analysts say that currently evidence doesn't rule out the possibility that antigovernment forces could have been responsible for the tragedy is what your hands nor the from the danish defense college told us. my best guess. is. that of course at seventeen it was flying over ukraine and it was pretty must by accident in the way that i believe that the answer key if fighters launched procmail sause on what i would estimate to be ukrainian fighter but simply. exchange or whatever missile to target their information and hit the state or russia's released information including radar data showing a suspected ukrainian military jet near flight m eight seventeen at the moment of

the disaster but the defense ministry says it is concerned by a lack of reaction from kiev and its allies we haven't received any answer from ukraine or from the trees effectively commenting on portable causes for the disaster was more still their comments based on material from social media well the ministry also targeted specific u.s. claims about the disaster first of all it says american evidence might well be a work in progress since it's still not released secondly it asks where washington is coming from in regards to claims russia was assisting the militias in challenges is the us assertion that ukraine's army was not involved in the crash of flight m h seventeen in the ministry also asked whether the white house is ready to be shewn responsibility for that particular claim. meanwhile the u.s. media remain adamant in their accusations against russia regarding the malaysian

airliner crash and despite presenting no hard evidence to back such allegations the media machine is hard to stop and it's again as this report. it took most pundits military experts and incurs in the u.s. mainstream media less than a day to pronounce russia and specifically the russian president guilty of the downing of the mh seventeen this tuesday u.s. intelligence official said they had no evidence that would directly link russia to the tragedy they also said they did not know who exactly pulled the trigger but inertia in the media is a powerful thing and such a lack of evidence does not set back some of the journalists who seem to be absolutely sure about who's to blame maybe you haven't been following it but the u.s. is actually coming out with a lot of its own intelligence that connects what happened i made seventeen to the acts of russian militants and perhaps of the involvement of russia in either

training equipping or maybe even assisting what when this what. exactly and so are you talking about what what forensic evidence are you referring to. when you're very or release intelligence information about the trajectory no not twitter i do not think peter this is something to be flip about two hundred ninety eight people lost their lives let's not i think they want to see people i mean it's been there and when you have an intelligence coming out there we slip and much of the u.s. media brushoff whatever information comes from the russian government propaganda for instance when presented evidence that ukraine had the capability to shoot down the plane without directly accusing kiev of doing it many journalists have shown clearly that they were not willing to treat all sources equally that is not to say that all journalists do that so really it's the propaganda machine spinning on both sides in. what is an information war certainly has it seen from the russian angle

carol is russia's evidence credible. well how credible is the u.s. evidence after a u.s. official said there is no proof of the russian president's involvement in the plane crash the u.s. media is looking for another face to put on that tragedy the leader of the pro russian rebels a suspect now in this crime seems defensive even amused by it all rolling his eyes at the question of accountability one of the bodies to get that suit. you know it's a fantastic story to do with but the thing is that as soon as members of our c.e. arrived they notified us that if we start moving the bodies then we will be responsible and have new source of information tonight from u.s. government sources about this strange shadowy character who leaves pro russian rebels the jean jacket black t. shirt the role of the eyes he comes across like a sixteen year old being lectured by a parent while the real investigation is only beginning in eastern ukraine the

media are hungry for quick with salt quick accusations and a quick verdict in washington i'm going to check on r.t. . now the still no sign of graeme phillips a journalist working for r.t. he disappeared in eastern ukraine on wednesday the channel lost contact with him on his way to the airport british authorities say drain is alive and has been a quarter reports may be held by ukrainian government forces. journalist working of graham phillips was among is among four people reported missing while they weren't covering firefights and the area very close to the city of daniel we do know that he was with a group of freelance journalists working very close to the airport which is currently one of the most active war zones and that regional center now why don't the drone allies who wanted to stay anonymous. but the ground there we shortly

before he was reported missing. we received information that an offensive on the approach was planned and that on to kill forces would try to repel it a string from avenues that he could bring a sea fleet to their position we got to three hundred meters from airport but it was in this month thing to do because we knew it was dangerous the other journalist told graham that they should go even further so they went and soon we lost them out of sight they get really close to the airport building then we got a call from graham's phone you know who was the other journalist cooling the ground had been detained by antiterrorism. and at the same time ukraine's defense ministry said they do not take turn this hostage. in or has been taken hostage there is no information on those were boats or were there is a bounty on his heard the ukrainian military don't journalists. well the russian foreign ministry has demands as the media treat nice of the journalists working for

tea. and the british foreign office also says that it is aware of the situation and is standing ready to provide assistance meanwhile the last time phillips got in touch with moscow was on the evening of the twenty second of july and at the moment our team is doing everything possible to learn about his present where bags. journalist brian mcdonald says he is relieved his friend is not among the dead but he's concerned that neither the conflicting sides in ukraine is playing by the rules he's alive and that's fantastic news and everyone's very very relieved course western journalists are nationality to protect their identity said to me earlier that nobody is in control nobody is following orders in the area on either side and that's why the situation is so dangerous that she said in her exact words that concerns me a little bit. and i suppose the question of. the new president of ukraine and the

national guard is ukraine is a country that spirals to join the european union it's going around cuba napping foreign nationals for no reason why. according to the international news safety institute ukraine is actually the most dangerous place for media workers at the moment since the beginning of the conflict seven international journalists have been killed there and that's more than in iraq since the start of the year five of the victims were russian one reporter was from italy and one works for ukrainian media all journalists also face constant pressure from government forces they are sometimes banned from entering ukrainian territory with reports of kidnappings and beatings in from the center for investigative journalism says that the army is a jew be a source of information when the conflict is ongoing. but one tends not to believe what the military says in almost every country because they tend to cover themselves and not admit when tragedies actually occur the armies themselves other

side and most wars provide very little meaningful protection it's a very difficult war because there are no conventional front lines in the way that we know them traditionally so it's very difficult to position yourself safely in that circumstance the impulse for any serious professional is to get as close to the combat as you can to those over best pictures are that's where the best drama is and that's of course the most dangerous place there are been seven killed in the conflict so far seventy internationally and all of them have had the same sort of circumstance and there is new fighting reported in the area where graeme phillips and other journalists were supposedly captured gunshots and explosions are being heard around the net airport artillery is said to be at work and unconfirmed reports by locals speak of numerous civilian casualties the training army has confirmed two of its fighter jets meanwhile were shot down in the region some reports claim they were flying close to the mh seventeen crash site early declared

a non-combat zone by the president he had quickly blamed russia for launching the missiles that took down the planes that is the army claims it's almost completed its mission of isolating the city from the neighboring against region ukrainian conflict has been officially declared a war by the red or by the red cross you can find out what that means in a couple of minutes. does the media leave us so we lead the media. by the same motions to cure the. other party visible. questions that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politic only on r t. three years ago the european union was spending several hundreds of billion

a few. underestimation each. deal twenty thirty sometimes even fifty percent of the money spent on corruption. ukraine is now officially in a war according to the international red cross and all sides involved could be liable for war crimes the role of the red cross in war treaties is many fold it

does as the guardian of the geneva conventions and other humanitarian agreements it decides when to officially designate violence as armed conflict and once it says there is a war is responsible for addressing governments to punish any possible war criminals once a conflict is tagged of war several un established rules apply first of all parties must distinguish between civilians and combatants they are expected to respect that they are expected to respect and protect the lives and rights of civilians and it also means the weapons and other means of waging war limited by international treaties and you clap and from the geneva academy of international humanitarian law and human rights says this could result in the victims having their voices heard the question of where the whole the ground mean there is no reason to oppose the traditional sort of further to the civil. through you know it's. going to get

civilians it will be true to this. once it's in the there is no way for us. to retrieve all our. work says it was a truly responsible it's a car he says that the arms. but political analyst brian becker believes the red cross designation may now be used as a political tool. you know based on them what's happened in the past two decades that the use of war crimes allegations is highly partisan and highly politicized usually it's the targets of western powers who are identified as war criminals and brought to justice or are brought to the hague while those who perpetrate were crimes from nato countries are never brought to trial so the concern here is that this is a gateway to a possible allegation by some not ukrainian government even though it was the one

that initiated a military offensive against its own people starting on july first something that you would say if it's a war zone they created the words and thus they are culpable the fear is that the this allegation may be used against those who are fighting against the kiev government or possibly even the russian government. death toll has topped seven hundred israeli carries on with its israel carries on with its ground operation and diplomats try to broker a peace deal how much says it would agree to a cease fire only if israel and see. here are the latest pictures from the region. was. consistent with missing. oh. we're going to do about. well the u.n. has warned that israeli actions in gaza could amount to war crimes how the favorite
