artie's peter oliver is in idaho been there 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 piling up and becoming another center of remembrance here in the netherlands to all of those who lost their lives. or this is the first plane today taking off from heart airport for the netherlands bearing the bodies of more m.h. seventeen victims according to investigators though not all the bodies have yet been found artie's rahman cross is at the crash site in the don yes region where experts combing the area. but it fragments along with the debris all flights and each seventeen are scattered over around a fifteen to twenty kilometer area here in a in a rural parts off eastern ukraine farms and villages all around us so it is going to take quite a long time to collect all the evidence and the remaining fragments of the victims of flights and seventeen meanwhile 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 of i know their fair 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 did they could see still a second circuit remember under valuables lying around there that had been taken flight recorders or a common and known as black boxes i 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 m h seventeen they said the flight recorders. there are still intact and they have not been tampered with the malaysian prime minister earlier said that he is not about to put blame on minister earlier said

that he is not about to put blame on anybody at all as evidence is in place while the investigation is still ongoing and there was still several theories some analysts say that currently evidence doesn't rule out the possibility that on to government forces could have been responsible for the tragedy is what you don't know snored be from the danish defense called he told us. my best guess. is. that of course that inmate's seventeen was flying over ukraine and it was pretty must hit by accident in the way that i believe that the key if fighters launched a poc misawa on what i would estimate to be a ukrainian fighter but simply. exchange or whatever mr target their information and hit the state or 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 trees to really come into an on poor civil causes for the disaster there's more still there are comments based on material from social media where the ministry has been talking about the claims made by the u.s. on the disaster point by point it addresses a number of accusations which you can see listed here now saying the united states has not come up with proof for any of them the spokesperson even hinted that america's taking so long because it's cooking up the evidence you also pointed out that if u.s. territory had come under shelling from a neighboring state as ukrainian forces did into russia washington would have thought twice before moving troops to the border where 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 hard to stop you can 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 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 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. are you talking about what

what forensic evidence are you referring to. we are 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 very human intelligence coming out very flippant about 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 an information war certainly has it seen from the russian angle. 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 pro russian rebels a suspect now in this crime seems defensive even amused by it all rolling his eyes at the question of accountability why were the bodies taken care of and given to. those they took you know it's a fantastic story you have to 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 alexandre. where

he 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. i told the journalist that i'm not an expert and can only discuss the theories behind why the boeing crashed i couldn't of said that the self-defense units had the 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 order 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 i've said. while the real investigation is only beginning in eastern ukraine the media are hungry for quick wit salt quick accusations and a quick verdict in washington i'm going to check on r.t.

. well there's still no sign of graham phillips a journalist working for r.t. who disappeared in eastern ukraine on wednesday the channel lost contact with him on his way to don't you have a port british authorities say graham is alive on his medina nova reports may be held by ukrainian government forces journalists working fourteen graham phillips was among is among four people reportedly missing while they weren't covering firefights in 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 one of 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 meters from airport but it was in this month thing to do because we knew it was dangerous the other journalists 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 cooling he said the ground had been detained by antiterrorism. and at the same time ukraine's defense ministry says that they do not take during this hostage. i know has been taken hostage there is no information on those were boats were there is a bounty on his heard the ukrainian military don't journalists. well the russian foreign ministry has demands us in the media treaties of the journalists working for t. and other to agencies 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 i'll be twenty second of july and at the moment artie's doing everything possible to learn about his present aware bags. we spoke to a friend of journalist brian mcdonald says he's relieved his friend is not among the dead but he's concerned that neither of the conflicting side in ukraine is playing by the rules he's alive and that's fantastic news and everyone's very very relieved course western journalists 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 but that concerns me a little bit and i suppose the question for. the new president of ukraine and the national guard is ukraine is a country that is spiers to join the european union it's going around kidnapping

foreign nationals for no reason why. well according to international news safety institute ukraine is actually the most dangerous place for media workers on the planet right now since the beginning of the conflict seven international journalists have been killed that's more than in iraq since the start of the year five of the victims were russian one reporter was from me to me and one works for ukrainian media journalists also face constant pressure from government forces and sometimes banned from entering ukrainian territory with reports of kidnappings and beatings gavin mcfadden from the center for investigative journalism says the army is a g.b. a source of information when the conflict is still ongoing but one tends not to believe what the military says in almost any country because they tend to cover themselves and not admit when tragedies actually occur the armies themselves on the other side in 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 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 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 that conflict so far seventy internationally and all of them have had the same sort of circumstance. well there's new fighting reported in the area where graham phillips and other journalists were supposedly captured gunshots and explosions are being heard around dawn yet airports artillery is said to be at work and unconfirmed reports by locals speak of numerous civilian casualties the ukrainian army has confirmed two of its fighter jets was shot down in the region some reports claim that they were flying close to the m eight seventeen crash site declared a non combat zone by the president here frequently blamed russia for launching the missiles that took down the planes something that moscow denies would dispute. i was more news coming your way after

a short break including the latest on the onslaught in gaza. so we leave the baby. bush and see your. party is it. that no one is this good with the guests that deserve answers from. they want to so this is back to the middle ages. as you know they derive their villages from the very very rigid interpretation of iraq if you look at a country like egypt for example saudi enough with very high poverty the reason this hide also the i think is because the religions on calls the boundary and the border and that's the kind of suppression if you look at the liberal the state of

watching international the palestinian death toll has topped seven hundred as israel carries on with its ground operation and diplomats trying to broker a peace deal says it will agree to a cease fire only if israel and its siege of gaza they are the latest pictures from the region. meanwhile the u.n. has warned that israel's actions in gaza could amount to war crimes the bodies of human rights council approved a probe into the israeli offensive how we feel reports on how the fighting is hampering efforts to save lives. with

israel's navy to the west tanks and ground troops to the north east and south and it's more than air force all the while overhead there is no shortage of extreme risks for gaza's paramedics are not the first responders the palestinian red crescent ambulances 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 hospital in missoula. we have seen three israeli and aerial vehicles fly over and we've seen just as many dead bodies. in order to palestinian paramedics do their job

israel call the union natural cease fire in an area that's seen heavy strikes schools of ambulances fire engines and diggers rushed in to help many injured and to recover bodies. of missiles struck the surgery department which is home to casualty in trauma patients causing many deaths and injuries. you know my first responders are internationally legally protected. fearing that's not enough they've been joined by foreign activists volunteering as human shields but even with that protection for and volunteers shielding and the civilian evacuation ended in the death of one teenager apparently as a result of multiple i.d.f. gunshots exhausted and overwhelmed with people needing that attention as paramedics have a seemingly impossible job to do all the while trying to avoid being part of the

body count themselves harry fear. meanwhile a top diplomat thinks the international community is reluctant to help stem the surge of civilian deaths is what the palestinian ambassador to the u.n. told us. that the u.n. security council says the mass killings of promised indians by israel in gaza but there's 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 apply to the four times and got only a few limited solutions to the crisis which israel didn't recognize and didn't stop the aggression or 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 window shattered and three rioters jailed. for world headlines coming your way now and 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 police presence and passed off peacefully. an attack on a prison a convoy near baghdad has left sixty people 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 since sunni radicals seized the northern city of mosul and establish 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 murderer joseph would gasp for breath more than six hundred times in the

death chamber after being given a lethal injection is not the first case when u.s. executions have been apparently bought by using non tested drugs earlier this year it took an oklahoma inmate more than forty minutes to die raising heated debate over the use of such methods for. the trial of one of the as well as main opposition figures leopoldo lopez has began in caracas lopez is accused of inciting deadly anti-government protests that took place at the beginning of the year he denies all the charges he's been in custody since february and if convicted could face up to a decade in prison. and contact has been lost with an algerian passenger plane flying from afar so in west africa to algeria the a three twenty disappeared fifteen minutes after takeoff officials say one hundred ten passengers and six crew members were on board. coming up next a on r.t.

international breaking the set with abby martin stay with us. well good to see you. join us this month in fossil on as we follow the international teams vying for racy glory ultimate triumph. one holds how much we delve into the mysterious cost of a cult classic under spunky my clothes away from the hot clear in the road for speed closer. to technology update on chief we've done the future coverage. we chase profit very large very attractive and now very globally recognized source of oil for the world and into the future the

world's cheapest and best petroleum deposits have been mined out we have to use more energy to get this energy industries grow like a cancer each of these squares it's ten kilometers where. and this whole area is slated for the remainder of the turgeon from water that's our wildlife so everything that's where fishery we can't stop this is the end game when it takes a true tons of sand to make one barrel of oil you know here at the bottom of the mine and that's where we're at. the chill ourselves. in fish farms waters do you have a pond to me because. i saw you spread all over norway is the most toxic food you have in the whole world proffered drowned zones in the pollution inquiry furthermore. those restrictions.

really knows what's inside that. welcome to break in to set i'm abby martin well earlier this week i guess n.b.c. contributor rula jebreal made waves when she criticized the media's coverage including that of her own network of israel's aggression in gaza in an interview with ronan farrow injured real accused pro israel lobbying groups like a pack for hindering politicians ability to speak honestly on the conflict however she took her critique one step further condemning the amount of air time israeli

politicians like netanyahu are given compared to their palestinian counterparts. one is temp is given to the palestinian voice and ninety nine percent of the israeli voice and that's why the public opinion is pro israeli which is the opposite and the rest of the world. within two hours of her statement jabril tweeted that all of her forthcoming t.v. appearances on amazon b c had been cancelled after the network came under fire for cancelling her contract amazon b c's chris hayes invited her on yesterday to challenge her view that journalists have a responsibility to cover the reality of palestinian suffering and hilariously all of curse her title as m s n b c contributor had been revoked the network decided to label her as a palestinian journalist instead wow as churlish max blumenthal pointed out on twitter can you imagine people like a lake being titled as jewish american when being interviewed about israel the simple answer is you can't because as we've seen time and time again the mainstream

media paints palestinians as the other alone distant voice that can only sympathize with its own people and once someone is merely labeled palestinian it's acceptable to exclude them from the debate and let's break the side. it was a. very hard to take. well you better act with that hurt their feelings.
