have already claimed numerous innocent lives saying this could amount to war crimes and. israel agrees to extend the humanitarian truce with hamas in gaza for four more hours as of now as the number of palestinians killed climbs to over a thousand. kevin i would hear it out international headquarters in moscow tonight just after nine pm as it is now first british journalist graham phillips has been deported from ukraine and banned from entering the country again for three years on the ground that he's been working for us at r.t. he's been held in captivity by the security services for three days the last word

we'd heard from him was a message saying that all was fine graham is now in poland he told us why he was unable to get in touch. 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 positions 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 the recusing 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 are going to happen so i want to go to my email account my you tube account which is obviously my main livelihood someone's deleted two thousand videos from 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 out they've stripped all the passwords basically been 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 i'm effectively or why but i'm a little shell shocked by the whole experience of just trying to kind of get my bearings and get things back together after what was an ordeal. understandably will be craned security services say they remove graham phillips from the country in the interests of national security and territorial integrity but here's what the kev authorities were saying at the time he went missing you may recall if you were watching a couple of days ago as to its whereabouts they said they had no information but also added that the military doesn't tell you reporters not on the contrary it worked to create safe conditions for them indeed here's what a spokesman for ukraine security service said at the time. i know he's been taken hostage there is no information on those were boats where there is a bounty on his heard the ukrainian military don't apprehend journalists. so if 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. called steps not into this new year that he wouldn't in one year what do. you really don't know we'll. bring you. your mug personally more to get what you needed. to operate only you could throw in the for you thirdly new guy that you seem to think. that i would he think. it would be what he. did. but i still believe why don't you read the whole muslim we need more. more generally it's become increasingly dangerous for journalists to cover the events in eastern ukraine activists to sound the alarm of the reporters being

killed kidnapped and attacked there according to a survey published by the international news safety institute ukraine is now the most dangerous country in the world for germans to do their job in seven media workers have been killed there this year more than there were else in the world including iraq syria and pakistan now as to why british reporter graham phillips might have been targeted in particular i asked legal expert alexander macoris first question that he was working for r.t. and it is a russian television station secondly that he was broadcasting in english and so was attracting an english speaking audience and thirty family say so because mr phillips is a very good journalist and 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 our journalists

who work for other russian television stations or news media organizations in the same way i find it actually very worrying. dutch police and investigators of arrive now in eastern ukraine to examine the site of the crash of the malaysian airplane the plane that 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 the latest pictures from the netherlands more planes carrying the bodies of the victims recovered from the scene of the tragedy arrived at a local airport there the flight recorders 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 keva the u.s. accuses local militia of shooting down the plane claiming they were armed by russia moscow denies any involvement turned demands explanations from ukraine after releasing radar data suggesting that a fighter jet was in the vicinity of flight m.h.

seventeen at the time of the crash. and the first family of one of the victims of an age seventeen thrived at the crash site the couple came to pay tribute to the twenty five year old daughter who was among the passengers on that doomed flight on our website r t the timeline of events surrounding the crash plus the latest on the ongoing investigation. there's been no letup in the deadly fighting in east ukraine with more than two hundred fifty civilians killed in the last two months in the city of lugansk alone in the most recent attack their government shelling resulted in at least nineteen civilian deaths because we want some of the video coming up now it is quite graphic mortar shells landed in residential areas of the city there that's what you're seeing several civilians at this bus stop roaming the victims blocks of flats a kindergarten a school being used as a shelter also hit in the attack here's how one eyewitness could describe the carnage. or was it off the ball video of religious burden off the mall.

looks like it would you favor. would you talk more but you could probably do this you know it. was volatile or your brother or move to the other where you live but the other level you can hear that what you want to get where you are it was a little bit of those do a lot of the. human rights watch says the ukrainian army may have committed a war crime when it killed sixteen civilians and go to grad rockets in the donetsk region meantime the group says the grad system is just too inaccurate to be used on populated areas human rights watch is calling for this kind of weapon not to be used at all to avoid civilian casualties while 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 injured and when you use these kinds of weapons in populated areas it's

a really high risk for silly instead the injured and killed and that's what we saw in the pitofsky district that civilians were being killed by these kinds of rockets you were able to by 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 being it 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 the nets which killed sixteen civilians we believe that the ukrainian army was responsible for those attacks we are calling human rights watch 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 we created and government forces were responsible for for the killing of civilians and both sides are denying the use of granite weapons or the use of at least the use of grad weapons in populated areas that our evidence is quite clear and the ukrainian government should investigate and should immediately stop the use of these weapons in populated areas. furthermore antigovernment forces are claiming that kiev used banned white phosphorus bombs during the latest shelling of dinette they posted this video of the alleged attack online which hasn't been independently verified meantime says it has proof that skeered has used a controversial weapon at least six different occasions russia's defense ministry claims that are a number of indicators which are characteristic of phosphorous bombs kids denying these allegations we got the thoughts of british army officer charles bridge to see

what he thought shows many of the characteristics one would associate with white phosphorus use in particular it looks like it's an air device that's to say it's been delivered by mortars or artillery or props an aircraft it covers quite some substantial areas you can see by the time it reaches the ground and also you've got this very characteristic. features of breaking into very small very bright burning particles which as indeed military spokespeople elsewhere have commented upon in their right to to say that it falls very quickly to the ground this is a fair some device white phosphorus will burn it intense heat will burn right through to the bone it's it can't be put out by using water and if civilians are in the air it's on my sense of course widespread damage as well as fear and of course very serious injuries if it can be proved that white phosphorus has been used against either civilian targets or in an area where it's very likely civilians will

be harmed there could well be repercussions in terms of crimes actions for example ukraine is indeed a signatory to the convention the un convention which governs the use of sentry weapons. almost four months since the start of the military operation in ukraine morale in the army appears to be willing soldiers wounded on the front lines of the commanders neglecting them and roman kosar of reports. dozens of wounded minutes or you were able to get out from one circle means by and forces the soldiers and 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. suit of. you. know all of the fault or. shut the fuck would you put the tube of. 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 streams to finance all that seems to be dry announced he won't have the money to pay for a military operation after all because of the force the army needs around seven hundred seventy five million dollars with 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 gets room on costs or have artsy done s.q. crane. just ahead the u.s. comes up with fresh accusations against russia of involvement in ukraine but still fails to present any evidence. i can align the information that i had but

to that effect meant after the break we were polled in the mounting pressure on washington to back up its allegations with facts. live. live live live live. live. talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want to live.

government system is to help poor people poor women but you can only change their life and nobody is trying to make money out of them those who want to make money out of them by. the whole thing can do it and you're of course still. russia's foreign ministry is really some harshly worded comments on the ukrainian crisis that slams washington claiming the partial responsibility for the conflict and its grave consequences moscow also accuses the obama administration of relying on lawyers to implement its foreign policy meantime tens of thousands of people have been fleeing east ukraine amid the raging violence according to the united nations the number of refugees is doubled since june was going to she can report

snakes the u.s. doesn't believe that. the u.n. says two hundred fifty thousand ukrainians have left their homes in eastern ukraine since the fighting began the state department had doubted the sources of the un's previous reports on ukrainian refugees and many russians from ukraine a family in russia 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 i can't confirm those numbers i quite frankly haven't seen that from a u.n. report 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 that artillery russian

territory israeli military. going in yes even at your immediate military outpost but you are convinced we see no indication she no indication that the opposite is true that there's something occurring while the usa department says no indication that the washington comes under fire from ukraine witnesses who live near the border inside russia offer a different perspective eloquence of cherry blossoms. yes you ask but they are not only not saying you don't know when you seem to be in uganda with them but they will stop for you so you tend to have a harder with the idea which was a bit are you with us would be a sense of them going so that i visit. with their with what i want to get them the truth but the most part the with them which is. the u.s. is now saying that russia prepares to send power for 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 and i don't deny it. but i think what is more you know it's not a question. it's a question of whether you can bet your you know we've put out a plane isn't when you put out information that we will continue to do so and 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 official word or the media is generally slanted against russia. to appease story to tell you know israel has just prolonged the twelve cease fire with amassing gaza for four more foreign ministers calls from the u.s. europe in the middle east in paris or still a t's was suspended to allow aid

supplies in and to recover the dead and. and did. not did not i did hear oh the number of deaths caused by israel's own stored on gaza's reached a harrowing milestone there are now more than a thousand victims to get left as bodies began being covered from rubble where israel continued to batter guards until the very last moment before still a tos were halted on saturday morning medics a tank fire killed nineteen members of a palestinian family just minutes before the true started. the refuse to that poster that is will break out of the west bank which had been relatively calm and reason is in bethlehem palestinians who still. really police early saturday the clashes left at least nine people dead closely 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 on the banks and a.t.m.'s withdrawing cash

and stock piling on food and other emergency supplies are certainly there 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 believe they did what in addition to this twelve hours humanitarian ceasefire there is a seven day truth that is in the pipeline this is something that has been posed by the u.s. secretary of state john kerry he was in talks in a cairo on friday that israel has rejected the version of this proposal as it currently stands what hamas is insisting on is that there was a total lifting of israel scenes on the gaza strip that 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 a. good to be released there is a meeting in paris attended by the foreign ministers of qatar and turkey to support a mass as well as high level delegations from britain and france and that meeting is being broken by the u.s. secretary of state john kerry but i must mention that aside from all this kind of diplomatic flurry that is happening the tensions on the ground are extremely high and i spoke to palestinian politician activist was stuff a book good too told me that israel should be held responsible for supporting the police efforts. the first people who are asked 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 when israel wanted to impose its own conditions by. having a cease fire while keeping the seas on while keeping the troops inside while

demanding that palestinians have mobilized to desist the pressure this is unacceptable what palestinians did should be a cease fire but also that would be a lifting of the sea so in reality what you see here is a struggle of people who are fighting for their freedom for the military occupation that has become the longest in modern history from a system will fall apart discrimination and segregation that is much worse one than what prevailed in south africa. israeli offensive in gaza gave more residents to this years a day which was on friday lives today used to show solidarity with the palestinian people and saw hundreds of thousands worldwide call to end the bloodshed but as we wade through the slogans the thousand plus deaths resulting from the offensive so far in some cities angry mobs burned u.s. and israeli flags there are rallies in the united states latin america europe and many muslim countries to the demonstrations continued on into saturday with

thousands taking to the streets of paris. time calls for an end to the violence being just as loud all lying to on our website you see a large range of pictures were jews and arabs refused to be enemies it was launched by us a couple of mixed arab jewish background. and. around the world in brief a small. lines will start of egypt there at least four children have been killed after a mortar round hit their home in the sinai peninsula on the gaza border that attack was reportedly made by militants targeting soldiers the blast out in the northern sinai town believed to be a brace of business militants militant attacks of serge since last year after the military overthrew islamist president mohamed morsi the united states has shut its

embassy in libya's capital and evacuated stuff to neighboring jordan is here comes as clashes between militias near the embassy intensified the u.s. state department says all embassy operations are suspended until security improves and is warning americans not to travel to libya it's the second time in little more than three minutes that the u.s. embassy is being closed. the un's chief investigator says islamic state militants may be added to the 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 insurgence of seize control of areas in both northern syria and iraq under engaging fierce fighting with syrian forces to the jihadists have conducted public executions abductions and murder among many other atrocities. thanks for watching i'll see for moscow next boom bust and why you facebook shareholders certainly likes this stock price this company way got

a special program for you mean time she wants to use in the u.k. good evening so the a bit different engineering students from around europe put their electronic bikes against each other all racing for glory joy that woman. 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 two tins missile destroys airplane alluding to the crash malaysian airplane that fell into the combat zone in 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 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.
