the first bodies of m.h. seventeen victims arrive in the netherlands for examination and repatriation to their family. for more remains. at the crash site. the airliner crashes turned into an information war by western media echoing the u.s. state department's accusations against russia i'm refusing to hear any claims. rise for the well. he's missing in eastern ukraine with reports that he may be held by government forces. plus israel's ground operation in gaza by tanks helicopter gunships and. more than seven hundred palestinians dead struggle.

and i welcome you watching international now the bodies of forty of those who died on flight m.h. seventy have arrived in the netherlands to a solemn welcome. so . how. thousands of people marched in amsterdam wearing white in memory of the victims of the crash artie's peter oliver is in eindhoven where two more planes are expected

to arrive on thursday. the process of bringing those killed on board malaysian airlines flight seventeen here to the netherlands is underway the first two 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 in the on the 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. 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 and in yet region where experts are combing the area. body fragments along with the debris of flights and age seventeen are scattered over around a fifteen to twenty kilometer area here in a 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 of the victims of flight and age seventeen and 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 the sites some investigators mentioned rumors all losing

in this area and they have addressed this issue i know there have been reports of looting and so on it's impossible for us to verify that. in the lasers and again it's their second day they said they said they did say still a second circuit remember undervalue balls flying around there that had been taken flight recorders or a common and known as black boxes so had been recovered from this area they are now in possession of british aviation authorities who are hoped to shed some light as to what actually happened to flight and may seventeenth they said the flight recorders had been damaged but they're 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 we are now looking at live pictures from the heart called an airport

another plane with bodies of the victims is destined and that lens is just a back to take health in the netherlands they will be identified and repatriated with their relatives these pictures are coming in live now from. port. meanwhile the ideation security expert desmond ross told us what information could be gang from the flight recorders the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder of 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 seven 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 it's. characteristics at that time i would not expect it to be anything is unusual on that flight data recorder up until the moment of the explosion that information should all be stored on the recorders so long as there is no tampering and no one to koreans and when 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 damage on seven's flight could terry weeks. so the investigation is ongoing but some analysts say that currently evidence doesn't rule out the possibility that anti-government forces could have been responsible for the

tragedy is what your hands nor be from the danish defense college told us my best guess. is. that of course that seventeen was flying over ukraine and it was pretty must by accident in the way that i believe that the insecure fighters launched a park near saws on what i would estimate to be a ukrainian fighter but simply. exchanged or whatever missile to target their information and hit. it well russia has released information including radar data showing a suspected ukrainian military jet near flight m.h. 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 police to really come into an on poor civil causes for the

disaster with more still their comments based on material from social media and ministries also been talking about the claims made by the u.s. on the disaster first of all it questions why america is delaying the release of its evidence and secondly it asked washington to give more details on claims russia was assisting antigovernment forces it also challenges the u.s. assertion that ukraine's army was not involved in the crash of flight m h seventeen and it asked whether washington is willing to stand by that claim. well the us media remain adamant in their accusations against russia regarding the malaysian airliner crash and despite presenting no hard evidence to back such allegations once launched the media machine is very hard to stop it again reports.

it took most pundits military experts and incurs in the us 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 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 made seventy to the acts of russian militants and perhaps of the involvement of russia in either training equipping or maybe even assisting one when this what. exactly are you talking about what what forensic evidence are you referring to. twitter 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 people lost their lives let's not i think they will declare it is been done and when you have an intelligent bombing 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 crashed. the u.s.

media is looking for another face to put on that tragedy the leader of the printing russian rebels a suspect now in this crime seems defensive even amused by it all rolling user knows that the question of accountability the bodies. were given to suit. you know it's a fantastic story to do with but the thing is that as soon as the members of our c.e. arrived they notified us that if we start moving the bodies then we will be responsible have new source information tonight from u.s. government sources about this strange shadowy character who leads pro russian rebels the jean jacket black t. shirt the roll of the eyes he comes across like a sixteen year old being lectured by a parent reuters has published an interview with the rebel leader alexander. were here according to reuters has acknowledged the rebels had a book missile system and knew where it came from we reached out to alexander could get to get more details and he said his words were twisted and in the interview he

was commenting on different versions that he heard of what i told the journalists that i'm not an expert and can only discuss the theories behind one of the boeing crashed or i couldn't of said that the self-defense units had a book missile as i simply don't have that kind of information yes i said in the conversation that back in april antigovernment fighters did stop an armed convoy with a few missiles but those systems were out of router and i don't think they were even captured so in my interview i only discuss the theories and didn't say what they claim are said 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. . meanwhile there's still no sign of graeme phillips a journalist working for r.t. he does it paid in eastern ukraine on wednesday the channel lost contact with him on his way to airport british authorities say graham is alive in this medina court

geneviève 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 new airport which is currently one of the most active war zones and that regional center now why don't the journalists who wanted to stay anonymous says that he was with the ground there we shortly before he was reported missing. we received information that an offensive on the approach was planned and that an to kill forces would try to repel it's a string from an a new set he could bring a sci fi to their position we got to three hundred metres from airport that 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 and i was the other journalist schooling he said that graham had been detained by antiterrorism. and at the same time ukraine's defense ministry says that they do not take during this hostage. nor has been taken hostage there is no information on those were both were there is a bounty on his heard the ukrainian military don't journalists. well the russian foreign ministry has demanded us in the media treats of the journalists working for t. and other to agency 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 the woods got in touch with moscow was on the evening i'll be twenty second of july and at the moment artie's doing everything possible to learn about his present where.

we also managed to speak to a friend of draymen journalist primadonna says he is relieved his friend is not among the dead but he is concerned that neither of 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 i won't give her nationality to protect her 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 she said in her exact words that concerns me a little bit i suppose a question for. 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 kidnapping foreign nationals for no reason why. now 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 tremendously and the other one worked for ukrainian media journalists also face constant pressure from government forces and they are sometimes banned from entering ukraine ukraine territory with reports of kidnappings and beatings. mcfadden from the center for investigative journalism says the army is a g.b. 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 and other side and most wars provide very little meaning for production 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 to position yourself safely in that circumstance the impulse for any serious professional is to get as close to

the combat as you can the best pictures are that's where the best drama is and that's of course the most dangerous place there have been seven killed in the conflict so far seventy internationally and all of them have had the same sort of circumstance. there is new fighting reported in the area where graham phillips and other journalists were supposedly captured by gunshots and explosions being heard around yet airport at the moment artillery is said to be at work and unconfirmed reports by locals speak of numerous civilian casualties the ukrainian army meanwhile has confirmed two of its fighter jets were shot down in the region some reports claim they were flying close the mh seventeen crash site early declared a non-combat zone by the president quickly blamed russia for launching the missiles that took down the plane something or most ago when i. was at the red cross has officially declared ukraine a war zone after the break we'll look at what that could mean for all sides in the

conflict that story more in a couple of minutes. so we leave that maybe. i will see bush and see your. party there's a good. shoes that no one is asking with big they deserve answers from. politics. are today. three years ago the european union are spending several hundreds of billions of euros on the public procurement embarrassed emotional each. deal trying to sort of do sometimes fifty percent of the money spent on corruption.

hello again now ukraine is officially at war at least according to an assessment made by the international red cross what exactly does this mean well first of all it makes all sides in the conflict distinguish civilians from combatants and protects them it allows the international prosecution of war criminals and it also means weapons and other means of waging war are limited by existing treaties and you clap them from the geneva academy of international humanitarian law and human rights says this could result in the victims having their voices heard. question

whether the financial ground there is no reason to oppose attention on it. you know it's. civilians. do to. one side. in a way. that people do why would you want. us to would be responsible. come says the. political analyst brian becker believes the red cross designation may now be used as a political tool you know based on 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 perpetuate were crimes from

nato countries are never brought right 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. another nice the palestinian death toll has top seven hundred israel carries on with its ground operation and diplomats try to broker a peace deal amass says it will agree to a cease fire only of israel and seizure of gaza here are the latest pictures from the region. i was i.

consider children who will listen. oh. no it was fun because you're always a little bit tonight meanwhile the un has warned that israel's actions in gaza could amount to war crimes the body's human rights council approved a probe into the israeli offensive carry thin air reports for r.t. on how the fighting is hampering medics efforts to save lives. with israel's navy to the west tanks and ground troops to the north east and south and has modern air force all the while overhead there is no shortage of extreme risks for gaza's paramedics and out of responders the palestinian red crescent ambulances haven't reach 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 tied 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 hospital in missile. we have seen three israeli on manned aerial vehicles fly over and we've seen just as many dead bodies right here. in order to paramedics do the job israel called a 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 to recover portions. of missiles struck the surgery department which is home to casualty and trauma patients causing many deaths and injuries. you know no first responders are internationally legally protected workers fearing that's not enough they've been joined by foreign activists volunteering as human shields but even with that

protection foreign 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 that attention this part medics have a seemingly impossible job to do all the while trying to avoid being part of the body count themselves. well the palestinian ambassador to the un riyadh months saw things that the international community is reluctant to help stem the civilian deaths. but it must. be the un security council sues the mass killings of probably a stimulus by israel in gaza but does nothing to stop the aggression and ensure the safety of civilians. but still will continue to knock on their door. in the past two weeks we are proud to be council four times and got only

a few limited solutions to the crisis which israel didn't recognize and didn't stop the aggression. meanwhile paris has seen a strong wave of support for the palestinians more than fourteen thousand people took to the streets in the heart of the french capital to condemn israel to previous protests descended into violence with when they shouted and three rises jailed. another world use around forty thousand farm workers from across mexico have rallied in the capital they marched to the interior ministry in mexico city demanding dialogue on land reform and rights for indigenous people they also protested against new energy reforms they claim forced landowners to give their land to foreign investment firms to explore for petroleum and natural gas the protest was accompanied by a heavy heavy police presence a man pays for the. attack on a prisoner convoy near baghdad has left sixty dead and dozens wounded the bus transporting inmates and soldiers was hit by

a roadside bomb and then fired on by gunmen the situation in iraq has been tense in senior radical sees the northern city of mosul and established an islamic state in the region. the execution of a death row inmate in america has taken two hours instead of the expected ten minutes mildred joseph wood here was killed by lethal injection after gasping for more than an hour in the death chamber is not the first case when u.s. executions have been apparently bought by using money tested drugs this year it took an oklahoma inmate more than forty minutes to die raising heated debate over the use of such methods. and the trial of one of venezuela's main opposition figures leopoldo lopez has begun in caracas lopez accused of inciting deadly anti-government protests that took place at the beginning of the year he denies all the charges he has been in custody since february and if convicted could face up to a decade in prison. up next here not it's not

a glimpse behind the scenes here with the nice thing. a friend of mine flew in from germany and he said that as he was leaving he looked up to do stand at the airport and on the front page of twelve german publications were basically titles like putin's missile destroys airplane alluding to the crash malaysian airplane there fell into the combat soldier in eastern ukraine this isn't just some fluke that my friend saw all these newspapers together the entire mainstream media has made the same bold speculations i think this is interesting for two reasons one the way that the mainstream press jumped onto the story with exactly the same headlines and exactly the same angles really makes me want to

start believing in conspiracy theories especially when an investigation had been conducted yet there wasn't any formal evidence yet but from fox to c.n.n. to medium sized german. papers the speculation of who was at fault for the crash is identical and absolute and to the western media which feels justified to push for war with anyone who doesn't adopt western values have themselves completely forgotten just what those values are i thought in the glorious west everyone gets a fair trial with due process evidence and a conviction only after their guilt has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt but when enemies of washington need to be demonized i guess all those principles just fly right out the door but that's just my opinion.

the news today and made signs of more tricky progress in secret peace talks. many many. red square demonstrators refuse to cave saying what people see you see they're still. resisting so. everything's out the window to the soul that it is true what they say that in the journalist have it all be you playing cello trains the charm siberian train they have the wind.
