was unable to get in contact. they were sending messages from my phone that message that you go r.t. saying all these fine i didn't i didn't send that message they were going through my messages asking me about every single message who sent this to you who is this person how do you know this person was put in a room next to an artillery position that they were firing heavily from that was being fired on i was kept in a cell was detained along with another journalist the deal he was beaten in front of me i saw soldiers you know kick him in the face and then a soldier said if you can confirm my details and he couldn't guarantee that i was going to live i was blindfolded kept in a cell without water or toilet facilities and then we were separated i was interrogated i was interrogated all day i was called a terrorist i was told i had a russian passport i was a russian spy they were telling me all day that i had entered ukraine through ukraine and entered it through russia it's all completely completely false they

were accusing me of working for terrorists all of these accusations and interrogations and then they took my computer they took my things and i've just go are just recently been released and i was on the train to warsaw coming from the polish border and i just recently discovered that the now all of my accounts have been hacked i want you to recount my e-mail account my you tube account which is obviously money in livelihood someone is deleted two thousand videos from back to every single account i have facebook contact the time that ukrainian forces have had my computer it was held by the s.b.u. as well they've taken that they've stripped all the passwords are now basically being cyberattacks and i'm just fighting now to try and get my life back i mean being kicked out of the country of ukraine my car was taken by the ukrainian military my money was taken my bullet proof vest i've been deported from a country i own a flat in told i'm an enemy of the state when all i ever did there was report the news which report the truth and i've been told i've been obviously banned from for

three years kicked out of the border and there have been cyber attack so basically you know my entire life has been has been taken apart i mean thankfully i'm alive and as you can see how effective your i but i'm a little shell shocked by the whole experience and just trying to kind of get my bearings and get things back together after what was an ordeal. so graham phillips has now been released by ukraine's security services they say he was removed from the country in the interests of national security and territorial integrity but here's what the kiev authorities were saying at the time phillips went missing well as to his whereabouts they said they had no information they were also adamant that the military does not detain reporters and that on the contrary it works to create safe conditions for them he is the spokesman of ukraine's security services at the time. i know he's been taken hostage there's no information owners were boats or whether there is a bounty on his herd the ukrainian military don't apprehend journalists. well as

we've heard was being questioned graham says he was threatened is what he says is part of his conversation with the ukrainian security officer. so yes because our little club. knew he wouldn't what you. really don't know we'll. bring you. your mug personally in the movie the one thing you. really. only. for you to be a new dr if you. would he put me to do anything that. wasn't. good. but i still didn't want to. read it. was becoming increasingly dangerous for journalists to cover events in eastern ukraine activists sounding the alarm of reporters being

killed kidnapped and attacks there according to a survey published by the international news safety institute ukraine is now the most dangerous country in the world for journalists seven media workers have been killed that this year that's more than anywhere else in the world including iraq syria and pakistan so why british reporter graham phillips might have been targeted in particular we asked legal expert alexander macoris. first unquestionably he was working for r.t.e. and eighty's or a russian television station secondly that he was a broadcast team and so was attracting an english speaking audience and so i may say so because this is a very good journalist and it was broadcasting things that the ukrainian authorities don't want the world to see and he was doing that as i said in english and that was obviously unacceptable to them so presumably they will be treating other journalists who work for other russian television stations or news media

organizations in the same way and find it actually very worrying. or dutch police and investigators have arrived in eastern ukraine to examine the site of the crash of the malaysian airlines plane which came down last week killing all two hundred ninety eight people on board although they haven't reached the scene of the tragedy yet these are pictures from the netherlands bodies of the victims have been arriving back in the country from where the ill fated flight departed the flight recorders are currently being examined by experts in the u.k. and the dutch safety board which is leading the international investigation expects to release its initial findings by the end of next week and the u.s. accuse local militia of shooting down the plane claiming these were armed by russia moscow denies any involvement and demands explanations from ukraine after releasing radar data they suggest a fighter jet was in the vicinity of flight m.h. seventeen at the time of the crash the. mother first family of one of the victims

of the tragedy has arrived at the crash site that's watty dot com for updates from the area as well as the crash investigation. at least fifteen civilians were killed and up to sixty injured when the ukrainian army shelled one of the hubs of resistance please be warned the some of the videos were about to show you a quite graphic mortar shells landed in residential areas of the city of lugansk several civilians at this bus stop among the victims blocks of flats a kindergarten and a school being used as a shelter also hit in the attack is how one witness describes the cause. for all that all. involved audio did you just heard an awful. look like you would read further. were you to perform for you the story you see on the other. the floor your brother or the other where you live the other the able if you can

hear what you were given what you heard was a little bit of those cues. a human rights watch says the ukrainian army may have committed a war crime when it killed sixteen civilians with unguided grad rockets and they don't yet region. the group say the grad system is just too and accurate to be used on populated areas human rights watch is calling on both sides of the conflict to stop using this kind of weapon if they want to avoid civilian casualties one of the authors of the report says the ukrainian military should be called to account for killing civilians neither side really seems to take enough precautions to make sure that civilians are not killed or. when these kinds of weapons in populated areas it's a really high risk for civilians to be injured and killed and that's why we saw in the pitofsky district that civilians were being killed by these kinds of rockets we

were able to buy in looking at the creators looking at the direction from where the rockets were coming from looking at the. walls that were hit by these rockets so if it's if the rocket hits the western wall of the building it's coming from the west by doing that we were we were able to establish where the attacks were coming from in for attacks they were coming from areas under the control of the ukrainian army so in four of these attacks in donetsk which killed sixteen civilians we believe that the ukrainian army was responsible for those attacks we are calling human rights which is calling on both the ukrainian government and on separatist forces to immediately stop using grad rockets these kinds of indiscriminate weapons in populated areas and the ukrainian government should also investigate these cases where there are where there is reason to believe that ukrainian government forces

were responsible for the killing of civilians and both sides. denying the use of granite weapons or with the use of. it's. art it's quite clear. that you should stop the use of these weapons in part needed areas antigovernment forces are claiming that kiev used white phosphorous bombs during its latest shelling of done yet such qualms about and under international law moscow meanwhile says it has proof that care has used the controversial weapon on at least six different occasions russia's defense ministry mostly cites attacks on the city of slavyansk which used to be a major resistance hub he says there were a number of indicators which are characteristics characteristic of phosphorous bombs such as the temperature. in the speed at which they fell. almost four months since the start of the military operation in ukraine morale in the army appears to be waning soldiers wounded on the front lines so that commanders and i

cannot see in them or among koester of reports dozens of wounded military were able to get out from encircled mines by and forces the soldiers claim that high ranking officers read it comes to the front line and if they do they tried to leave as soon as possible preferably before dark but it did the. soup of the in the eyes and you know the article in the fall of. the fall of the would you put the. millions of dollars have already been spent by kiev on its punitive action against those they call terrorists now while the countries and leadership they had ordered yes and another mobilization a round of its citizens into active armed forces the money stream to finance all that still seems to be dry announced he won't have the money to pay for

a military operation after all because of the first the army needs around seven hundred seventy five million dollars well just a week left before the first of august skee of a scrambling for support all that said punitive action in the east of the country but morale of the soldiers on the grounds and the collapsing parliament could become a barrier for their peroration star get room on costs or have artsy done s.q. crane. ahead the u.s. comes out with fresh accusations against russia's involvement in ukraine but still fails to present any evidence. i think underlined the information that had led to that if that's meant after the break we report on the mounting pressure on washington to back up its allegations with facts. one thing air is the last is. essentially leaving in this world when they believe

that you know that me to. talk to them they simply don't realize when propaganda is being pointed out we need to go beyond that and actually engage with the ideas in the information that is presented as well and confront that information and i think that's something that as you mentioned before not everything is black and white not everything isn't taken istic and the more that we can be i guess open open minded connoisseurs of information regardless of the source and i think we're all going to be the. government system is to help poor people who are women but to change their life and nobody's trying to make money out of them those who want to make money out of them . turn the whole thing into law. and force to.

russia's foreign ministry has released some hosley would comment on the ukrainian crisis it's numbs washington claiming it as partial responsibility for the conflict and its grave consequences moscow also accuses the obama administration of relying on law i used to implement his foreign policy. of thousands of people have been fleeing eastern ukraine amid the raging violence according to the united nations the number of refugees has doubled since june but. the us does not believe those numbers. the u.n. says two hundred fifty thousand ukrainians have left their homes in eastern ukraine since the fighting began to say department had doubted the sources of the un's previous reports on ukrainian refugees and many russians from ukraine have family interactions and may be staying with them but neither ukrainian border guards or

nor international organizations operating in the area have boarded any large outflows of refugees to russia but now we do colleges possibly for the first time that there is a humanitarian crisis inside ukraine but i can't confirm those numbers and quite frankly haven't seen that from u.n. reports so i'm happy to fact check that for you and see if we can confirm what we think the numbers are we know there is a humanitarian crisis here at the state department believes ukrainian military posts came under fire from the russian territory the spokesperson did not go into detail of where such information comes from you are and that artillery russian territory is hitting the military is going in aiming at your immediate military outpost but you are convinced you see no indication she's no indication that the opposite is true that ukrainians are some encouraging while the u.s. state department says no indication that the russian territory comes on the fire from ukraine witnesses who live near the border inside russia offer

a different perspective. because of lashon. yes you know not just that you. know this and you don't know when you seem to be in uganda with them but that will stop or you know you can't have our what the idea which was a bit are you with us would be a sense of so that i would visit. with that with that with what i wanted to give them the truth but the most part the with them which is. the u.s. is now saying that russia prepares. to send powerful missile launchers into ukraine but again does not specify what evidence such allegation is based on i can underline the information that had led to that assessment and we don't have specifics about what those systems might look like to outline when pressed on how officials can put out such allegations without backing them up with substantial evidence here's what she said it's not a nine hundred eighty i. don't want to. it's not a question. it's a question of whether you can you know we've put out

a claim isn't when you put out information that we will continue to do so it's difficult and we're happy to put out as much as we can all that appears for the state department it's not so much about evidence but about trust but the fact of the matter is many journalists here do take the officials word for it and the media is generally slanted against russia. the number of deaths caused by israel's onslaught on gaza has reached a hiring milestone there are now more than a thousand victims the number leapt up as bodies began being recovered from the rubble during the twelve hour humanitarian truce that is underway every previous cease fire has been broken. while israel continued to batter gaza until the very last moments before hostilities were halted on saturday morning medics a tank fire killed nineteen members of a palestinian family just minutes before the truce started ten children were among

the victims. and there are now fears the hostilities will break out in the west bank which has been relatively calm in recent years in bethlehem palestinians from stones and fire bombs at israeli police early on saturday the clashes left at least nine people dead reports. in the moments immediately following the start of this truce hundreds of gazans poured into the streets they have been lining up in front of shops and banks and a.t.m.'s withdrawing cash and stock piling on food and other emergency supplies so certainly the the fear on the ground is that hostilities in this israeli ground operation will continue and continue for some time to come this is a u.n. brokered humanitarian truce the idea is to allow u.n. aid workers in and out of gaza they are bringing with them emergency supplies such as medicines for the hospitals that have practically run out it is also an opportunity to evacuate the injured and it's also a chance for people to bury they did well in addition to this twelve hour

humanitarian ceasefire there is a seven day truth that is in the pipeline this is something that has been proposed by the u.s. secretary of state john kerry he was in talks in cairo on friday that israel has rejected a new version of this proposal as it currently stands what hamas is insisting on is that there was a total lifting of israel sees on the gaza strip but israel says if there is no way that it can agree to this and it also won't agree to any kind of preconditions a must is also asking people who were recently arrested to be released there is a meeting in paris attended by the foreign ministers of qatar and turkey who support a mass as well as high level delegations from bush in and france and that meeting is being brokered by the u.s. secretary of state john kerry as you just heard talks to secure a longer truce between israel and hamas have now kicked off in paris earlier we spoke with a palestinian politician dr isthmus stuff about the guzzi he says israel is watering the peace efforts. the first people who are for the cease fire were the

palestinians and we asked the united nations security council to issue a cease fire. resolution it was israel that blocked the united states and the united nations security council twice then israel wanted to impose its own conditions by in being by having a cease fire while keeping the siege on gaza while keeping their troops inside while demanding that palestinians have no right to desist occupation this is unacceptable. that should be a cease fire about. so in reality what you see here is a struggle of people who are fighting for their freedom from military occupation that has become the longest in modern history from a system of apartheid and discrimination and segregation that is much worse one what done what prevailed in south africa. the israeli offensive on gaza gave even more resonance to this year's al quds day which was on friday and was

a day used to show solidarity with the palestinian people and so hundreds of thousands of people worldwide called to end the bloodshed banners were waved blaming israel for the thousands of deaths resulting from the offensive so far in some cities angry mobs burned u.s. and israeli flags there were demonstrations in the united states latin america europe and many muslim countries. and let's go around the world for some more headlines now in the united states has shut its embassy in libya's capital and evacuated staff to neighboring tunisia is because clashes between militias and the embassy have intensified the u.s. state department says all embassy operations are suspended until security improves and it's warning americans not to travel to libya the second time in a little more than three years at the u.s. embassy there has been closed. the u.n. chief investigator says islamic state militants may be added to its real crimes

list for their actions in syria the confidential list was revealed for the first time to the un security council and reporters on friday islamic state insurgents have seized control of areas in both northern syria and iraq and in fierce fighting with syrian forces the jihadists have conducted public executions abductions and murder among many other atrocities. i'm asked march in chile has seen thousands call for the country to end its absolute ban on abortions the procedure cannot be carried out even in cases of rape or incest chile is latin america's most socially conservative country made a commitment this year towards women's rights after being criticized by the un for violating international human rights treaties. and coming up after the break watch engineering students from around europe put their electronic bikes against each other for racing glory but if you're in the u.k.

the russian returns examines the everyday brands that are funding israel's wars stay with us. in florida the debate over whether illegal immigrants should be able to get driver's licenses is heating up one group called the living with angels says that they should be allowed behind the wheel to support this view they use a classic argument that comes up a lot in the media they say that not a lot of people for it are legal so if you're not legal you can't have a driver's license what's with that this is like when people say well we should legalize drugs because people use them anyway or we should legalize prostitution because people will do it anyway so essentially i think they mean that it's everyone comes here illegally anyways we may as well let them drive so if enough people do something we currently consider illegal does that make it ok maybe sometimes but in the case of illegal immigration rolling out the red carpet for people to come to

a nation illegally just empowers more people to come and it certainly spits in the face of locals and legal immigrants who do obey the rules and bureaucracy so here i would say no to driver's licenses for illegals in florida yeah there might be millions of them in the usa but that doesn't justify society bending over to make their lives comfortable if you want to drive in america be born american or become one the legal way but that's just my opinion. the money is the root of all easy pickens money is the root of all crassus for once every has but to what school is one to sell. fact that. you know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albums. in
