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 all russia's made public data indicating the presence of an ab on ukrainian jet fighter near am age seventeen at the time of the disaster the country's defense ministry is at a loss as to why there's been no comment from kiev and its allies. we haven't received any answer from ukraine or from the trees to really come into it on poor simple causes for the disaster with more still there cormorants based on material from social media or the ministry also commented on some of the claims made by u.s. intelligence officials immediately after the tragedy washington says a missile had been fired from militia controlled territory but never bothered to provide any evidence another popular theory disseminated by the us is that russia assisted in the missile launch but again no proof american state officials are also
10:06 am
convinced kiev has no hand in the m eight seventeen disaster yet they don't explain why or the u.s. media is also whipping up anti russia hysteria is going to if you can explain it 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
10:07 am
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 was 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 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 flippant about 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 that 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
10:08 am
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 suit. what they did you know it's a fantastic story do of two 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 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.
10:09 am
shirt the roll 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. . while r.t. dot com has collected the various theories about why the malaysian airlines flight crashed head to our website for detailed analysis pictures and videos. after two days of hearing nothing about a british journalist who disappeared in eastern ukraine it's just that he's being held by security service and ukrainian reporter who was with graham phillips when the pair went missing has just been released we managed to talk to him on his way to hospital he told us they were severely beaten. we were near them yet scamper he ran to film a group of men i followed him and that's when we went to put bags over our heads
10:10 am
but before i noticed it was the cranium military judging by their insignia that we were put in a car and driven somewhere first they put us in a kind of cell together but we were later separated they started torturing us beating i heard graham screaming and i was screaming to our it was horrible i didn't tell them i was a journalist so they accuse me of being a self-defense fighter but it seems that they knew who graham was they beat me so badly i finally told them i was a journalist in the net i told them i had a child and if they killed me he'd have no one else they said if they catch me again they'll kill me later fighting broke out at the airport we heard gun sounds so we were taken to a different location i don't know where they put plastic bags on our heads i think it was a checkpoint i heard they told graham they were taking him to western ukraine to q.m. then they left me outside and yet. graham phillips went missing on cheese day evening in don yet the day he lost contact had a meeting a question of
10:11 am
a joins us live now. they could see what do we know about the circumstances then of graham's disappearance. well graham phillips a was with a group of freelance journalists covering the for a fight in the area very close to the city of daniel school and he disappeared the last time he got in touch with moscow was on the evening of the twenty second july he said that he was going to film in the area very close to the airport and he said that he was still going there despite our warnings of high risks and then we received a text message from gram saying that everything was fine and that was the last we've heard from him next morning reports emerged of him being detained by the ukrainian security services however he denies detaining him or that they've asked for it it. you know has been taken hostage there's no information on as we're both were there is
10:12 am
a. military don't. and may graham was seized by security forces in ukraine he was questions on a spanish links and later released after about thirty six hours after that he laughs to ukraine for a while however he came back just a few days ago and we managed to speak to graham's friend who is very close with his family. i think you kind of the best of times i was pretty place for a foreigner depending on where you went i warned them i know your limits family warned him and he just says all of us face is mind your own business the russian foreign ministry has demanded as the media treaties of graham films and at the same time the britain's foreign office says that it is aware of the situation and that it is standing ready to provide assistance and at the same time parties doing
10:13 am
everything possible to learn graham phillips president where abouts. and dana thank you very much well c.n.n. now reports that a freelance journalist working for the channel was also abducted in don yes two days ago he's currently being held in captivity. while there's new fighting reported in the area where graham phillips another journalist was supposedly captured gunshots and explosions are being heard around dawn yet airport artillery is said to be at work and unconfirmed reports by locals speak of numerous severe civilian casualties where the ukrainian army has confirmed two of its fighter jets was shot down in the region some reports claim they were flying close to the mh seventeen crash sites of course are no combat zone by the president kiev and quickly blame to russia for launching the missile the down the planes something that moscow denies disputes. well after the break out poland has been condemned by europe's top human rights call for allowing the cia to torture prisoners on its
10:14 am
territory. so we leave the. bush and see. your party is that. is that no one is this good with big they deserve answers from. just three years ago the european union or spending several hundreds of billions of euros on the public procurement underestimation in each. deal twenty thirty sometimes even fifty percent of the money spent on corruption.
10:15 am
10:16 am
well the u.n. has warned that israel's actions in gaza could amount to war crimes and is how we feel reports even the dead count resting place this is guns as main morgue several hundred dead have passed through here in the past fortnight. we met its director. and certainly working here is very difficult first when the corpse arrives we put 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 at being put in train says bill just for one it's a grim process. every night around twenty to twenty five bodies come in by the day even though this facility only has to pass city for 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
10:17 am
a strong heart. bodies are 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 the dead. this man has buried ten of his relatives since the israeli operation began. we feared that they were about to attack the cemetery because the cemetery in shake red one had been attacked twice so people going were very afraid of standing in congregation the cemetery in shade year 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 dance the cemeteries are running out of space i work for seven
10:18 am
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 morgue 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 to relatives 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 if 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. gaza. meanwhile in israel a radio clip released by a local human rights group listing the names of children killed in gaza has been banned from broadcast the regulator say the clip was politically controversial now let's discuss this with one of the rights activists behind the initiative of not scribbling. who joins us now here in r.t.
10:19 am
international thank you very much for your time can you just give us some background to this story and what exactly is happened here. well we wanted. to put an ad and do a deo thing in the names of the palestinians children that killed during this operation. is really media is not covering a lot of what's going on in gaza it mostly focuses on numbers and statistics and we want to that is very good to hear the names and know about the great hall this operation. is taking do you think israeli civilians and israeli citizens are getting an accurate picture of what's happening in gaza or at least to the extent of how bad things are in gaza.
10:20 am
i think the israeli media is covering mostly naturally these very side but it doesn't really cover enough what's going on in gaza and the israelis don't know enough about the great toll of this operation the amount of civilians and children dying during this operation what was the official reason that was given to you for the fact that it was banned or there were two reasons one of it was that it was politically controversial the second was that it belongs in the broadcast but the fact is it's not on the broadcast so we had to sponsor it in by this money that were denied so we would put ads on social media on facebook and you tube it got southrons of likes
10:21 am
and thousand a shares meaning that the israeli public doesn't want to know about what is going on in gaza so those were the official reasons that were given to you but why do you think it was banned. i cannot tell you what's behind how they work i can tell you the official reasons and i can tell you that we are not covering the israeli media is not covering enough what's going on in gaza there are children dying and you can see mostly statistics you can see in most numbers and i think that to be in israel we need to know the numbers we need to know the names we need to know. the grave and the tragedy that this operation is creating. thank you very much for your time thank you for joining us here on r.t. international. well poor hussian from israel's foreign ministry spoke to me earlier he insists that he was sponsibility for the civilian deaths in gaza lies with hamas
10:22 am
they say that all timothy's 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 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 named it 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 altered with quiet calm will be responded to with call this message was rejected out of hand have 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
10:23 am
accepted unconditionally we implemented them all three of which with the with the glib laws they couldn't care less attitude 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 . elsewhere the european court of human rights has ruled that poland violated international law by hosting secret cia bases on its soil these centers were used by the u.s. to interrogate and torture detainees kidnapped as part of its infamous extraordinary rendition program now the case was brought to the court by two men captured in dubai and pakistan and then brought to poland in two thousand and two there they were water boarded and abused and then sent on to guantanamo polish officials have already called the court's decision embarrassing to place the blame on those who ruled the country at the time when i'm now joined by alexi other chefs he's been covering this story and has visited one of the bases alexy good to see. what did
10:24 am
you see when you were in poland we went to the northeastern part of poland the town of ramadi where reportedly one of the cia black sites was located although i can say it was hard luck because we went there the only thing we can manage to see was the airstrip the military airstrip where reportedly. the cia prisoners were brought in and then taken to a different location we also heard witness accounts that they indeed saw military war military airplanes landing in that area even sometimes three or four o'clock in the morning but that is as far as it as it got we didn't find this location we didn't find this facility of course that if it existed there it was very seriously classified then we went back to warsaw and we had an interview with one of the lawyers of of these two men who by the people to be precise and he spoke of ample proof that these man possessed of being water boarded tortured deprived of sleep and all that happened at that particular black site in northeastern poland. poland
10:25 am
isn't the only countries at this hosted cia prisons well i myself when i worked as a bureau chief in eastern europe covered several of those black sites in romania in lithuania caused huge public resonance at those countries there were many activists who. we're asking their government to sort of apologize to the people who were reportedly tortured and waterboarding those facilities but then again reportedly there are eighteen such facilities all across the world in course the way in bosnia in afghanistan only one facility would do no off of course is one ton of money but you know the scandal surrounding that prison always make headlines across the world and actually thank you very much article actually other chefs. now coming up next here on r.t. international max and stacy discuss the culture of blackmailing and what the microbiology of germs can teach us about the modern economy stay with us.
10:26 am
a friend of mine flew in from germany and he said that as he was leaving he looked in to do stand at the airport and on the front page of twelve german publications were basically titles like putin's missile destroyers airplane alluding to the crash malaysian airplane that fell into the combat zone 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 newspapers the speculation of who was at fault for the crash is identical and absolute and to the western media which feels justified to push
10:27 am
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. dramas that can be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. faces change the world right. to take your days. from or to.
10:28 am
look to. me. welcome to the kaiser report imax guys are you know margaret mitchell author of gone with the wind one with enough courage you can do without a reputation but in a highly emotional social media driven world in which extremely concerned sometimes hysterical residents of twitter and the like hashtags their outrage from thousands of miles away at the slightest deviance from what which they all have tagg agree is the only acceptable course well people ya'll are going to nato lot more courage. max of course you know this is the scarlet letter sort of days in math annual fourth on wrote that eight hundred fifty about new england in the seventeenth century when you know the days of the witch hunts and the women were burned and
10:29 am
buried alive to see if they were witches but it was also a day of shame any women deviating from the sexual norms of what women supposed to be but these sort of days of scarlet letter days i think are upon us and that is when everyone becomes blackmail of all we have petition experts are now in demand because everything about you is online and people can hack your information and you know find out all sorts of information about you but for a fee that can amount to thousands of dollars a month reputation professionals take on clients and scrubbed clean their search results with a wide range of techniques that often include creating search engine optimized content that dominates the first few pages of specific search results on google bing and yahoo and so far three point five billion dollar industry frankly my dear i don't give a damn if the one was a yes it was it i do it so well they're they're creating another one of the search .
