seventeen are on their way to the netherlands the first identified bodies arrived at eindhoven air base on wednesday where a solemn ceremony was held in amsterdam hundreds of people dressed in white marched through the city and released white balloons in memory of those who died peter all of a has more 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 a lone 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 pete dutch royal family and the prime minister of the netherlands the bodies were then removed from the airplanes by a military honor guard 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 remembrance here in the netherlands to all of those who lost their lives . while at the crash site in eastern ukraine experts are combing the area for more bodies as not all of them have yet been found is there. body fragments along with the debris all flights and h. seventeen are scattered around 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 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 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 family reports of looting and so on it's impossible for us to verify that. in malaysia is and again it's their second day they said they did they did see still a second circuit remember under valuables flying around there that had been taken flight recorders or a common and known as black boxes 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 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's not about to put blame on anybody

at all as to why this crash it taking place until concrete evidence is in place well russia has made public data indicating the presence of an arab or ukrainian jet fighter near m.h. seventeen at the time of the disaster the country's defense ministry is out in los explain why there's been no comment 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 what you will from social media where the ministry also commented on some of the claims made by u.s. intelligence officials immediately after the tragedy washington said a missile had been fired from militia controlled territory but never bothered to provide any evidence another tip by the us is that russia assisted in the missile launch but again no proof american state officials are also convinced kiev has no

hand in the mh seventeen disaster yet they don't explain why. the u.s. media is also whipping up anti russian hysteria it's going to if you can explain it's unleashing a tirade of accusations against moscow with next to no supporting evidence. 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 what. exactly are you talking about what what forensic evidence are you referring to. 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 they're going to have an intelligence coming out very flip and much of the u.s. media brushoff whatever information comes from the russian government as 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 playing russian rebels the suspect in this crime seems defensive even amused by it all rolling using is that the question of accountability one of the bodies to get the suit. it's fantastic story you have to the thing is that as soon as the members of the c.e.o. 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 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 quick verdict in washington i'm going to check on our team. collected the various theories about why the malaysian airlines flight crashed you can head to our web site for detailed analysis pictures and video. now after two days of hearing nothing about a british journalist who disappeared in eastern ukraine is a mud's that he's being held by kiev security services or ukrainian reporter he was with graham phillips when he went missing has just been released now let's get more details from within a quarter of a medina good to see you what else do we know right now well at this moment in time we've got very few details now as you just said the latest that we know is that a camera man working for the and the news agency has been released now he was

reportedly missing with graham phillips a journalist working for our team when they were covering firefights in the area very close to the airport. at the moment one of the most active war zones in that particular region and now he says that they have been detained by the ukrainians. security services and that at the moment graham phillips is still being how to capt if now the last time phillips got in touch with moscow was on the evening was in the evening on the twenty second of july and when he was really getting close to the airport to the airport of daniel and one of the drone was he wanted to stay anonymous he says that he was with the ground very shortly before he disappeared but. we all went to the airport together some piece one hundred fifty meters away we turned back because we emerged from the fields into an area of open space like

a field we felt we could be easy targets so we decided to go back to where we left our car we wanted ram it could be dangerous but he and another reporter still decided to proceed because that fuel several times i think they could have been ambushed when we were back in our car. but another guy answered apparently it was that other reporter you don't the very quietly we asked him where ground was he said he was surrounded by the ukrainian army and they've got ground to get him out of there. so well at the same time the ukrainian defense ministry claims that they do not take journalists hostage. in this just you know has been taken hostage there's no information as we're both where there is a bomb to induce the ukrainian military don't. shoot the russian foreign ministry has demanded immediate release of the journalists working for e t and

other agencies and the britain's foreign office also says that it is aware of the situation and is standing ready to provide assistance at the at the same time marty's doing everything possible to learn graham's present whereabouts but dana thank you very much for bringing us the latest. now according to international news safety institute ukraine is the most dangerous place for media workers 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 italy and one worked for ukrainian media journalists also face constant pressure from government forces there sometimes banned from entering ukrainian territory with reports of kidnappings and beatings kavin mcfadden from the center for investigative journalism says the army is a dubious source of information where the conflict is continuing 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 meaningful protection it's a very difficult war because there are no conventional front lines in the way that we know them. 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 that conflict so far seventy internationally and all of them have had the same sort of circumstance where there's new fighting reported in the area where graham phillips and other journalists were supposedly captured gunshots and explosions being heard around dawn yet at ports artillery is said to be unconfirmed reports by local speak of numerous civilian casualties. well ukrainian army has been found two of its fighter

jets were shot down in the region some reports claim they were flying close to the m eight seventeen crash site he declared a non combat zone by the president could have quickly blamed russia for launching the may solve the took down the plane something that moscow denies. just now coming up after a short break is the deaths in gaza suppose the seven hundred figure we visit palestinian hospitals breaking point and asking israeli government spokesman when the offensive will end. this is the media leave us so we leave the baby. by the sea bush and secure. your party visible. shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politic. just three years ago the european union was spending several hundred six billion if

you're also in the public procurement underestimation bit each. deal twenty thirty sometimes even fifty percent of the money spent on corruption. the palestinian death toll has topped seven hundred as israel pushes on with its ground operation casualties are also mounting on the israeli side with over thirty

soldiers killed since the start of the offensive these are some of the latest pictures from gaza. seriously we. are all here. for the un has warned that israel's actions in gaza could amount to war crimes reports for r.t. even the dead can rest in peace. this is gaza's main morgue several hundred dead have passed through here in the past fortnight we met its director. certainly working here is very difficult first when the corpse arrives with the dead bodies inside the fridge just after fifteen or thirty minutes the families normally arrive

to take martyrs bodies moves are operating at capacity throughout the strip in some two parties that being put in trains is built just for water it's a grim process. every night around twenty to twenty five bodies come in other given though this facility only has to pass thirty four eighteen it's really too much pressure for us we see many cuts and lacerations among these victims it has been incredibly hard this job needs people with a personal conscience with a strong heart. taken from the monks and swiftly buried according to islamic tradition. but many local cemeteries are under threat of bombardment and i simply too dangerous to use so it's here at gaza's main cemetery where many of forced to bury that dead. this man has buried ten of his relatives since the israeli operation began. we feared that they were about to attack the cemetery as

a cemetery and shake redwine has been attacked twice so people going were very afraid of standing in congregation the cemetery and she is off limits is the israeli army has been in that area and everyone avoids going there then we went to shake red one but while we were there the air force attacked the cemetery during the ceasefire we dug the grave and laid the first martyr to rest there and as the bloodshed goes on guards the cemeteries are running out of space i have worked for seven years of shaikh road one cemetery the previous two weeks have been the worst in some cases we've had to dig up old graves to make room for relatives where do i start the morgues bring way too many bodies here we put three bodies in one grave because we don't want the relatives to go to dangerous places which are off limits this grieving family has no choice but to open up a relative's grave and bury the new body alongside you may have thought that at least garza cemeteries would be spared the din of war but even as palestinians bury

their loved ones there is no rest by from the sound of menacing drones overhead or ceaseless bombings around carry fear r.t. . for the gaza fence a whole now being investigated by the united nations human rights commission palestine's ambassador to the un told us why it's vital that every alleged violation be thorough looked into. those who committed those crimes must be punished it's only fair to the victims that's why investigating those crimes and finding those responsible is very important we will closely follow the inquiry conducted by the un commission its recommendations should be heard by the international community and all human rights organizations. should be brought to the international criminal court palestine will do everything possible so that every single case ends up in the court. but poor hershon from israel's foreign ministry insists the responsibility for the deaths lies with hamas. they say that

all of it is should be investigated and i agree and i'll tell you what we're going to discover we're going to discover that israel has taken unprecedented steps in in a very difficult circumstance to minimize and to avoid civilian casualties and we're going to discover that hamas evil machine with a killer strategy has the is perpetrating war crime of the war crime of the war crime and that's what we're going to discover you say that israel is doing all it can to minimize civilian casualties are you doing enough for boys killed on a beach we're hearing about civilians being killed every single day we said repetitively we said it also quietly through diplomatic channels quiet will be all said with quiet calm will be responded to with this message was rejected out of hand we've been three cease fire proposals one by the egyptians one by the united nations one by the international committee for the red cross all three we accepted unconditionally we implemented them all three of which with the with the glib laws they couldn't care less attitude come us rejected and violated so i agree with you

the this is a real tragedy the responsibility for which lies directly at the doorstep of hamas . now going back to ukraine and the country's lower house has voted to dissolve the parliament right after making it impossible for the communists to be part of the next one the party was deemed to not have enough deputies to be represented now in election two years ago the communist secured thirteen percent of the vote well over two and a half million people some of its members lost their seats in the political turmoil in the country the party had twenty three deputies left when it was excluded the speaker of the parliament said getting rid of the party was a historic mission adding that he hoped there would never be another communist faction the leader of the communist party called it a political lynching saying it was a crackdown on dissent the international secretary of the commune. party britain

john foster joins me live now here on r.t. international mr foster thank you very much for your time is the ousting of a political party in this manner is it common anywhere else in the world. i don't think there's been any attempt to ban or oust a political party of the size of the ukrainian communist party since the banning of passes by the fascists in greece or earlier when the nazis came to power in germany. this party represents as you said two and a half million people they will now have their rights to political association negated in a way that is contrary to the european charter of human rights as well as the terms of the european union treaty what is the official reason for putting out the communists if they don't have enough deputies what's your response to the official reason that's being given. the official reason is

quite fallacious because the communists have been subject to attacks intimidation physical attacks and that is the reason for the reduction in the number of deputies but even at twenty two this is a very significant number and they still represent that two and a half million voters who voted for them in two thousand and twelve those voters should have their rights respected. well as we've we've heard the official reason let's take a listen to what the speaker of the parliament had to say let's take a listen now. this is a historic decision never again will there be a communist faction in the ukrainian parliament. so what do you make of what you've just heard it seems very much clearly that it's politically motivated. i would say it is very politically motivated it is reminiscent of declarations previously in

all thorough tarion regimes when pot is banned it should be said that the leading forces within the current host who governments in ukraine. that's the fatherland and the freedom party is both allegiance and defer to the memory of stepan bandera who during the last war led the forces aligned with the nazis in the ukraine that i think shows where these statements are coming from they are from the othera tarion right and it is. outrageous that the european union should be giving sanction to this government mr foster thank you very much for your thoughts on this subject mr foster that they are much appreciated here on r.t. . now around the world some of the headlines for you and an algerian passenger jet

with one hundred sixteen passengers and crew on board has crashed according to an aviation official in algeria the m.d.a. three was on route from bikini facet to algiers when it disappeared from radar fifteen minutes after takeoff french fighter jets are searching for the wreckage algeri says the crew aust ground control to alter the plane's route to bad weather . a passenger train is hitting school to us on a level crossing in india eighteen children on the bus driver had been killed the vehicle was dragged several hundred metres along the tracks no one in the train was injured it happened on the mound railway crossing hundreds of people a year die at such junctions. people involved area have turned out on mass to celebrate the resignation of the country's prime minister and sacking of his cabinet they have been months of protest against the government by the banking crisis that one of the issues the pm has been criticized for by the opposition is
