quite chirruped restaurant owners before jenny law died in the crash along with ms law's mother pounds which for only this son kevin wasn't on the plate now he's left pick up the pieces you can imagine how big a loss he's lost his parents his grandmother. who works in the restaurant also. hope he can manage to. go on like you spend state outside the asian gorge restaurant floral tributes by all of those who knew the family concerned more with laying the dead to rest that needs a national clamor about investigating the tragedy the main thing is that which are the bodies home return sorry goodbye to them on the proper way ultimately what memorial services like the one going on behind me show that even if it's done. our the people of the netherlands are coming together to show that they stand as one

peter all over r.t. rotterdam. meanwhile the first family of the victims arrived at the crash site and australian couple came to pay tribute to their twenty five year old daughter who was on board the plane. the first thing then we then we heard this he said how we should survive he said how do we survive if we promise hour we have promised our daughter we will come here but it actually is soon as possible does the time factor yeah he should have come here the minute it happened the next day now this week the russian defense ministry presented its information on the plane crash publishing satellite images and radar tracking data from the day of the tragedy but ukraine and washington have still not revealed anything of their own and russia's deputy defense minister questioned the basis for the allegations against moscow and ukrainian opposition we haven't received any answer from ukraine

or from. coming into on forcible causes for the disaster with more still there cormorants based on material from social media the defense ministry says that another aircraft was detected in the same flight path as the malaysian airliner vs data suggests that the second plane was a ukrainian military fighter jet but clear of claims that all of its planes were on the ground at the time and satellite images showed a ukrainian surface to air missile launch a system in the area just days before the crash but the complex was then apparently moved to an unknown location on the same day as the tragedy. meanwhile the u.s. has been rolling out a bare arj of accusations against russia washington claims that moscow supplying heavy weapons to the ukrainian opposition and is even firing across the border the media has been pressing the u.s. government to reveal a solid basis for those allegations but washington

a simply citing classified intelligence social media sources and claims made by the ukrainian government but some journalists are not buying that story i would like to know what you're basing this new evidence that the russians intend to send any heavier equipment 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 a you tube video or something that you could point us to that i mean you know engines and i'm just wondering if you what what what it is that i wasn't going to give you. because like you had a loved one million working its magic you actually go give you more information just say no i think i'm making this or it's not actually asking a question here i can't give you the source or method would you prefer not give you the information theory think that it would be best for all concerned here in the other question you know you make an allegation like that you're able to back it up with something more than just because i say so. however the mainstream media has

been fading off the state department's accusations gonna judge account takes a look at some of the recent reports b.b.c. russian deleted an online report by their correspondent from eastern ukraine it was recorded by all good if shaina who went to the site where ukrainian intelligence says rebels fired a missile at the malaysian airlines plane she took the photo showing a rising plume of smoke which the ukrainians intelligence service provided as evidence of where the missile was launched the reporter identified at least two other potential sources for such a plume in the area including a coal mine nearby she also asked locals what they saw in the sky that day. there were two explosions in the sky with their how the plane broke apart with pieces falling everywhere and there was an ounce of military jet flying me and everyone saw it yes everyone saw it flying a little below the present a plane. we heard explosions in the sky and then the plane suddenly turned around

changed its flight path and headed their way. when the video was taken off the site many internet users were keen to know why the b.b.c. said the report did not live up to the editorial values of b.p. see. some journalists have taken sides to the point that when the ukrainian president said this ukrainian nation now are united we don't have any conflicts inside ukraine and he was not picked up on it even as pictures and video poor end of the war raging in the country since. the us media is once again taking aim at r t over what c.n.n. discussed as the impact of russia's media machine for all the talk about propaganda which by definition is you know misinformation i would say russia's when it chris cuomo and r.t. spittle of l became a you tube hit after a heated interview maybe you haven't been following it but the u.s.

is actually coming out with a lot of its own intelligence about connex what happened i made seventeen to the acts of russian militants and perhaps of the involvement of russia in either training equipping or maybe even assisting life when this what horrible operation fran you're going to have lands 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 now i pointedly say declaring it's been there and really really trying to coming out very flippant about it and narrative is being pushed in the media that clearly spells cold war to . the russian president does deliver fight on the covers of major magazines and newspapers is personality is the main focus of media attention. this newsweek article titled inside the bulletproof bubble of the west's public enemy number one

begins by looking into what putin eats for breakfast c.n.n. draws a connection between the russian president's photo at a church and the downing of the malaysian airliner and global outrage grew putin try to appear pious photographed praying at an orthodox church the russian president continuing his drumbeat blaming ukraine and its western backers the us no one should and no one has the right to use this tragedy to achieve their own selfish political goals these events should not divide united people by fixing its gaze on the russian president the media has excelled at what he does best acting as judge and jury and simplifying a complex situation by focusing on just one person going to shotgun or to washington d.c. . elsewhere the israeli army has resumed its military operation in gaza the un

brokered humanitarian truce collapsed after hamas militants fired rockets into israel and these are the latest pictures for you from guards at the polls in fighting was supposed to last until midnight on sunday local time the militants there rejected the truce saying that israel must first withdraw its troops israel the insisted it won't go before it demolishes the underground tunnel networks all this lee has more from jerusalem. this twenty four hour unilateral cease fire has now come to an end the israeli army accuses her of violating this cease fire that went into effect at midnight on saturday now it comes just hours after his rabies soldier was killed by a mortar shell on the israel gaza border and it also follows goldwasser's of rockets that were fired from gaza at israel in the early hours of sunday morning there has been silent. sounding whites throughout south and central israel now this unilateral cease fire which was announced by israel was rejected by hamas it was

supposed to be in effect until midnight sunday it follows a humanitarian cease fire that both sides of the on saturday that was an opportunity for united nations aid workers and other humanitarian organizations to bring much needed relief into the gaza strip it was an opportunity for bodies were tied lethal funerals to be held and also for many gazans to return to their homes to assess the damage and to salvage what little they could this cease fire has now ended and we are witnessing. of hostilities inside the gaza strip both sides now declaring that they will continue with this fighting that is seen to be casualty count on both sides continue to climb. well galleries having to deal with thousands of people who have been injured and displaced from their homes and must use a jar from the islamic human rights commission says that israel's actions are in no way justifiable. the whole thing is so clear clear card that you cannot sort of

kill innocent people women and children in this sort of massive scale and i'm trying to justify it for any reason or any justification we need to have recognition the palestinians have got basic rights is there has to do what is obligation is on the international law israel has to actually make sure that those on these occupation they get basic sort of necessities and israel is trying to deny that the only peace israel has ever wanted them house and president is to have peace while they're occupied we need to have a peace which is justifiable based on the needs and aspiration of the people in gaza which i've been suffering for over sixty five years. our correspondents and there's a video taken from the heart of the conflict to contain some images that you may find distressing. is what we do now from we're going to move.

on we're going. now these pictures apparently show a man among the ruins of destroyed residential buildings the store to be the target of israeli government gunfire the man appears to be hit by a bullet while lying stretched out on the ground every fear talked to one eyewitness. to the space of the day all together there were four shots fired the first one missed him but remained it to be aimed for him the second one was fatal. which caused him to fall down a lot on the ground and the third one was i guess for them to make sure that they had got him basically he was as far as we are aware he was looking for his family he was frantic he was he was leading the way he was on the floor and he knew the airway how do you want to do is find is that me that's resulted in his death there

was supposed to be a cease fire as well however as we settle into the region there was bombing nearby there was shelling nearby and snipers shooting is. israel says that incessant rocket fire from gaza during the truce caused it to relaunch its offensive my colleague paul scott spoke to poor person a spokesman at the israeli foreign ministry and he explained why his country isn't backing down. 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 this evil machine with a killer strategy. 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 they'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 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 reporter sent packing later we'll hear from the auntie contributor in train who was deported and barred from the country this week for quote national security reasons .

as the media leave us so we leave the. bush and secure. the party physical. issues that no one is there with to get they deserve answers from. government system is to help poor people poor 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 by. the time the whole thing. and we're all.

watching the weekly here on r.t. they held a gun to my head that is how u.k. citizen and auntie contributor graham phillips described his ordeal at the hands of ukraine security forces a reporter was detained earlier this week before being kicked out and barred from the country for three years told us what else had happened to him during his detention. 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 cellar was detained along with another journalist for dean who 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 or was twitter account my e-mail account my you tube account which is obviously my name livelihoods on it 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 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 then i've been cyberattack 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 i'm just trying to kind of get my bearings and get things back together after what was an ordeal. or kiev has admitted to detaining and interrogating graham but let's take

a listen to what the security service had to say before when the reporter's whereabouts was still unknown. what i know has 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. well just told us his life was threatened and here's part of a video he had loaded to youtube with a recording of a conversation apparently with a ukrainian security officer so yes because our little design blew. out into this new years if you wouldn't in one year what your role. you really don't know we'll. bring you. more just because i thought i wanted you to. be a pretty good only you. would you thirdly new guy that you could see him getting. you to go you go with he thing we did yes. but it wasn't who

she did. but i still believe he wanted to read it but listen we need more. but this video surfaced in the ukrainian media after graeme was released it with shot during his final questioning by ukraine security forces and it has a very different tone to the one that graham himself recorded. phillips you're freelance journalist. so is this little more you both a can or a see it today. who will they look at all of us it will it brand new it is honestly something god of the new kind of proceeded to do we are struggling. with it it's a bit of work an hour to sit in this newsgroup or to freelance critics and to the end of the secret legion of aegis new the skinny you see what we see. you see today see more security objectively see the studious more true it's mostly to mickey to

show objectively if you can be useful to society it's received today is mostly true nick is yar the objective me star said it in your movie a new producer do not receive today you cannot use not to hoshi day to day to do it and option vital you should preach that life to be only. according to kiev graham has been deported for quote national security and territorial integrity concerns that reasoning is something that geo political analyst patrick having said doesn't accept. i think they're very nervous in the ukraine because they do not want information to escape the type of information that graham phillips is reporting about the true nature of the conflict what we have is clearly a civil war by anyone's definition except for the western media and politicians in europe in the united states are still calling it as as the government in kiev is an anti terror operation meanwhile civilians are being targeted that's the very thing

that they're graham phillips is trying to relate to the world i think just looks like a policy out of. transparency is something they're clearly not very good at. hiding in cover ups right from the beginning of this crisis right all the way back to february to the mike on so why should we expect anything different right now police in ukraine has become the world's most dangerous place for journalists that's according to the international news safety institute they say this is the start of the year working in eastern ukraine as being more risky than even iraq syria and pakistan seven media workers have died in the region while covering the conflict between kiev and on to government forces and four of those people are employees of russian newspapers and broadcast this. to stay with us here on r.t. plenty more to come back to one of our top stories that briefly says that it agrees

to a new twenty four hour humanitarian tracing gaza it will start at two pm local time that is according to reuters coming up after the break for you find out how the whole can be useful political manipulation coming up in worlds apart. see. there are people. who show no way over. the.
