3:02 pm
have come through these gates and into the army base the base has been chosen in particular because it's the headquarters of medics training for the dutch army and therefore has the facilities in order to carry out this task the job of identifying the bodies will be done in association with the netherlands forensic institute the n f i is regarded as one of the finest forensic laboratories in the world but in terms of how long that identification process will take we're hearing from dutch leaders that for some it could take days for others weeks but that some families may have to wait up to as much as a month to find out the identification and where their loved one's body is so that they can take them have them repatriated if they're not citizens and say goodbye to them in their own way already outside of the base though floral tributes have started to pile up and many people coming here to what is rather a remote road outside of the town in order to pay their respects and lay flowers to those who died on board m.h.

seventy. at the crash site in eastern ukraine experts are combing the area for more bodies not all of you have been found roman costs are off their. but it fragments along with the debris all flights and h. 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 probably take quite a long time to collect all the evidence and the remaining fragments of 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 say 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
3:04 pm
so on it's impossible for us to verify that. in malaysia is and again it's their secondary 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 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 that flight recorders had been damaged but they're still intact and they have not been tampered with malaysian prime minister earlier said that he is not about to put blame on anybody at all as to why this crash it's a complete until concrete evidence is in place no one comes from reporting russia's made public data indicating the presence of an airborne ukrainian jet fighter in it and age seventeen at the time of the disaster the country's defense ministry those at a loss as to why the still be no comment from kiev out of satellite about it. we
3:05 pm
haven't received any answer from ukraine or from. it to really come into it on poor civil causes for the disaster with more still their comments based on material from social media 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 then another bother to provide any evidence to follow that up another popular theory disseminated by the us is that russia assisted in the missile launch but again no proof and the shape or form put forward american state officials are also convinced kiev had no hand in the mh seventeen disaster yet they still don't explain why they are so sure of that and most of the journalists have been trying to do to pull out of the state department to no avail i would like to know what you're basing this new
3:06 pm
evidence that the russians intend to send any every year based on some intelligence information i can't get into sources and methods behind it that i was able to be able to tell you that is there are a you tube video or something that you could point us to that i mean you know anything but i'm just wondering if you what what what it is that i wasn't going to give you the underlying force or it really did you slightly out of love want me working its magic you're sure i don't give you more information just say no i think i'm making this or it's not actually ask you a question here i can't give you the source or let it would you prefer i not give you the information theory i think that it would be best for all concerned here in the other question here you know when you make an allegation like that you're able to back it up with something more than just because i say so. most talk more about the issue no joined by political analyst william doris hi there william let's discuss first of all these awful plane crash the investigation that has gone off the ground in the official investigation that russia has been calling for before
3:07 pm
any more allegations of bandied around do you think all parties here are going to take part of it fully and openly i mean all parties involved in this investigation into this tragic thing that's happened. i think the poroshenko regime which is now in a state of political crisis and its backers in washington are determined to exploit this crisis for all its worth politically to promote hatred against russia and against the. those people in eastern ukraine who are resisting the regime in syria . though if you just heard the state department there one of the drug would naturally a.p. news agency was that asking america basically where you're getting this information from we have pointing the finger at russia where is the concrete information it was kind of laughed off saying we've got our sources not going to tell you what they are one day follows into the next day still nothing concrete coming from america when's it going to come forward when are we going to see this information that's made them so cast clear about what's happened at the. this exactly follows the
3:08 pm
script of the iraqi weapons of mass destruction or even the contention that iraq was somehow involved in the nine eleven attacks which they had many people in the united states believing newspapers here are screaming putin's missile russia did this russia are guilty when there is not a shred of evidence at all there is no more evidence for russian involvement there is that elvis presley is still alive. i don't they are they are putting up a hysteria. and somewhat of a political you know top of all this on a week where you'd think the ukrainian government needs to band together for the sake of ukraine for the sake of the people it's a huge place of mourning and unrest at the moment and now the government's collapse the prime minister has resigned what's not good the main for the future this is the prime minister of course at the forefront of that of the coup that made this all happen. well the ukrainian the poroshenko regime and its
3:09 pm
allies a new dark party and the neo nazis of this well but a party and the right sector they style themselves big ukrainian patriots they shout glory to ukraine when when ukrainians are burned to death by mobs in odessa they shout glory to ukraine when they unleash the air power and artillery against their own citizens in eastern ukraine but they also shout glory to ukraine when they fail their country down the river to western banks and the international monetary fund because in fact that's what they have done they are dancing to the tune of western bankers who are demanding that they raise prices that they cut old age pensions that they slash in half the wages of public sector workers and they have brought themselves an economic crisis these measures do not only hit russian speaking ukrainians they hit everybody in ukraine and now the poroshenko regime is told a maneuver to dissolve the parliament in order to consolidate power to impose these so-called reforms that are against the interests of everyone in ukraine of the
3:10 pm
majority of ukrainian people and this follows in the footsteps of other dictatorial regimes the united states is back in latin america in the seventy's for example they are banning the communist party illegal party that has twenty three set seats in the parliament just yesterday the local secretary of the communist party in in don't yet see mr coach and was tortured to death by the recurring the national guard they've kidnapped reporters r.t. reporters. they are creating a climate of fear in order to impose an economic agenda that suits western interests not the ukrainian people's interests and they're exploiting this tragedy of the airline and much in the way that another european leader years ago exploited the reichstag fire. when you doris political analyst thank you for your thoughts on the program tonight and he mentioned there as well and he was talking about the fate of graham phillips they were. one of the british journalists sometimes working for r.t.
3:11 pm
well after two days of hearing nothing about him he disappeared in the east of ukraine it's emerged that he's being held by kiev security service you created reporter was with graham phillips when the pair were missing he has just been released from mesa talked to him on his way to hospital he told us they were both severely beaten. and we were near them yet scared port he ran to film a group of men i followed him and that's when we were they put bags over our heads but before i noticed it was you cranium military judging by their insignia 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 had graham screaming and i was screaming too it was horrible i didn't tell them i was a journalist so they accused 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
3:12 pm
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 i took yeah then they left me outside and yet. growth rates went missing on tuesday evening internet service the last we heard of him and r.t. contacted us a bit of caution a verse more on the circumstances of his disappearance. philips a was with a group of freelance journalists covering there for a fight in the area very close to the city of daniel's going he disappeared the last time he got in touch was 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
3:13 pm
we've heard from him now it's morning reports emerged of him being detained by the ukrainian security services however he denies detaining him or that they've offered it. i know he's been taken hostage there's no information and as we're boats there's a bone two hundred. three don't. and then made 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 left ukraine for a while however he came back just a few days ago 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 everything possible to learn graham phillips present
3:14 pm
whereabouts. well joining us. right phillips other things should be with the swedish study are in close contact with the foreign office what have you heard from them since we last spoke yes to them what twenty four hours ago now close contact meeting i suppose it's morning and they haven't made any contacts and. today it's either me or grant family as far as i'm aware. going to. get what i mean there's only. the grahams been in captivity so it's a bit of a delay on the line that he's been captivity by one of the journalists that was taken into protective custody and is now been released this is from you know about that i guess they do now did they tell you that i broke the news there and gently. i want to say about that by the way that there is an established torture method to play people screams in order to terrify others so that's not one hundred percent
3:15 pm
you know terrifying obviously one would hope that it's on true but it does sound like it is true obviously because the injuries suffered by the correspondent news really vadim schol just how dangerous it is there an r.c. everybody is worried that graeme may have received similar injuries if not even worse you know the grammar course was to tell him back it may be reporting on it then at the time he was told to leave ukraine only to return despite the risk you think i want to go back again after this ordeal is over we just jumping the gun really before he's even been released i guess with a latte but i'm not i don't risk family will probably try and tie him down somewhere or lock him in a carriage or something going on if i get my hands on a time to barstool or something you know. think about it is i mean you can start my said before he's thirty five years of age he's a big baby and he's entitled to do it every like this of course but one would hope that he's learned his lesson now which you know isn't it sad that he has to learn
3:16 pm
this lesson isn't it sad that you can't work as a journalist in ukraine isn't it sad that i can't work as a journalist safely in ukraine sad that ukraine is now the most dangerous country in the world to be a journalist. country aspires to join the european union kidnapping if you want taken captive citizens not to mention russian citizens ukrainian citizens i mean this is outrageous i mean and i mean nobody can justify this way and also there's the other side in ukrainian civil war taken a captive today as well i mean it's completely what it is doing i mean they're kidnapping people talk to them to war to beat them up i mean what do you think is going to achieve all the official ones protective custody but judging by the reports coming from the other journalists from the news station it's an old sort of protective custody as you say mcdonnell thank you for being on the i know keep us posted but it's the end sort of secret police not in the democratic style anyway
3:17 pm
now well wait to hear to see what what what happens with graham we'll keep you posted and thanks for updating us as well. after the break as garza's deaths top seven hundred we report from of the crowded summer trees and ask israel what it's going to stop. this is the media leave us so we leave the media. bush and your. party isn't the. issue is that no one is asking with the guess that you deserve answers from. politic. three years ago the european union was spending several hundreds of billion a few. underestimation in each. deal
3:18 pm
twenty thirty sometimes even fifty percent of the money spent on corruption. alone again the un run school serving as an emergency shelter in gaza has been hit by israeli shelling leaving at least fifteen dead and hundreds wounded witnesses say no warning was given it's the fourth time a u.n. facilities been hit in the two weeks of israel's offensive reporter how he fears in gaza. this complex was struck directly or indirectly by israeli tank shells now
3:19 pm
it's not clear how or why this facility this civilian object was targeted by the israeli military but no warning was given and the united nations has made clear in this past few hours that it has given israel historically and recently all of the g.p.s. coordinates and information pertaining to its facilities in the gaza strip in order to prevent this sort of tragedy from taking place we understand also schools were injured in this attack over the last couple of days we've seen extraordinary escalation of bombardment throughout the gaza strip not just the northern area but also the east particularly and we caught up with some of those inside the palestinian health system here really struggling to keep up with the number of civilian losses. this is gaza's main morgue several hundred dead have passed through here in the past fortnight. we met its director of honor certainly working
3:20 pm
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 polities are being put in trains is built just for one it's a grim process. every night around twenty to twenty five bodies come in 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 a strong heart. but he's a 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
3:21 pm
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 and shadia is off limits as 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 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 a relative's grave and bury the new body alongside you may have thought that at
3:22 pm
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. gaza. the number of palestinians killed now gone well beyond seven hundred sixty deaths two in the past twenty four hours alone casualties are also mounting as well on the israeli side with over thirty soldiers killed since the start of the offensive poor shouldn't from israel's foreign ministry told us earlier that the responsibility for the civilian deaths in gaza lies squarely with hamas they say that all to mitty'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 in a very difficult circumstance to minimize and to avoid civilian casualties and we're going to discover that hamas evil must. scene with
3:23 pm
a killer strategy has an end 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 all said 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 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 . told to former i.d.f. commander turned human rights campaign has exposed some of the harsh methods used
3:24 pm
by israeli soldiers against civilians in palestine he believes it's time for israel to rethink its strategy in gaza i did three three years of service in two of them in the west bank during the second intifada and the things i've done and things i've seen in the way we treated palestinian civilians on the occupation was something that brought me to question the morality and whether we are actually standing up to our principles and what we think or what we want to be in all our relationship things are not clear because if you look at the last few years every every two three years there is an operation there's just a serious of operations in gaza and everyone just led to the other end in breaking a science the one thing we're trying to ask is ok so where is this one taking us now is it again to the next operation two years down the road shouldn't we after all these operations have been work should we try to ask ourself you know maybe we should try to change our ways and how we deal with gaza. in the state executions
