moscow. a you tube video. to. washington maintains russia is aiding the local militia in eastern ukraine was involved in the crash but refuses to specify the source of its information. and a mass agrees to a twenty four hour humanitarian cease fire after israel calls off its own truce resuming air naval and ground attacks in retaliation to rockets fired from gansett . my name is the harvey and you're watching the weekly here on art. and we will start this hour with breaking news because we're getting reports of the ukrainian military launching attacks on local militia near the site. the malaysian plane

crash the fighting is preventing international teams from reaching the scene the army is believed to be storming the town of torres right now right next to the site of the tragedy and that is despite ukraine's president poroshenko ordering a no combat zone forty kilometers around the area earlier this week. a team of australian and dutch police and experts as well as european security monitors are staying in the regional capital and yet unable to reach the site of the crash earlier local militia agreed for an international police presence at the scene but so far teams have had to abandon their plans due to the escalating violence in the area european security monitors reported the situation on the ground appeared unsafe. because security situation at the moment on the way to the site we plan to go today all the site itself appears to be not safe we will not risk our unarmed civilian observer mission to deploy to

a site where we can control the race to a degree of area confident that we have it at the level where it is acceptable. the netherlands from where the ill fated may seventeenth flight departed was the hardest hit by the tragedy the planes carrying the bodies recovered from the scene have been arriving there throughout the week the first victim from the disaster has been identified by a dutch citizen a team of two hundred forensic experts say that it could take months for all of the victims to be identified to all of the reports from a country in grief. for the public so. the people of iraq to pay tribute to a family restaurant it was part of the very fabric of the community this family is still within the whole community would know all city so everybody knows someone here has been coming you know for years so you're quite shocked restaurant owners before jenny law died in the crash along with these laws mother jones wait for only

this and kevin wasn't on the flag now he's left it up with these you can imagine how big a loss he's lost his parents his grandmother. works in the restaurant also. hope he can manage. to. go on like you spend it outside the asian shores restaurant floral tributes by all of those who knew the farm concerned more with making the rest of the national clamor about investigating the tragedy the meeting is there to which are the bodies home return sorry goodbye to them on the proper way ultimately what memorial service is like the one going on behind me show that even in its darkest hour the people of the netherlands are coming together to show that they stand as one peter all of a r.t. rotterdam. and australian couple who lost their daughter in the mh seventeen crash

if you can the first family to visit the site of the tragedy and the system being driven to the crash scene despite warnings of combat in the area twenty five year old daughter fatima was an aerospace engineering student and had hoped to become a pilot the first thing when we when we heard this he said how we should survive is he said how do we survive if we promise our we have promised our daughter we will come here but it actually as soon as possible does the time factor yeah because he should have come here the minute it happened the next day. the probe is yet to establish the cause of the disaster but it's widely thought the n.h. seventeen flight was shot down by a missile which is defense ministry has presented its information on the crash publishing satellite images and radar tracking data from that day so let's take a look moscow says that it has detected another aircraft on the same flight path as

the malaysian plane and that it was bearing the parameters of a ukrainian military jet however kiev claims that all of its planes were on the ground and that time also satellite images show a ukrainian rocket launching system in the area just days before the crash but on the same day as the tragedy it was apparently moved to an unknown location russia's defense ministry is still waiting for comments on the information released we haven't received any answer from ukraine or from the loose. on forcible causes for the disaster with more still there cormorants based on what you will from source show media. on the u.s. says that the malaysian airliner was downed by a surface to air missile launched from the territory controlled by local militia and is also blaming russia for aiding and forces and washington is yet to reveal the evidence it claims to have and it's been coming under increasing pressure from some media over its mounting accusations towards moscow. i would like to know

what you're basing this new evidence that the russians intend to send in any heavier equipment based on some intelligence information i can't get into sources and methods behind it but i was able to be able to tell you that is there a youtube video or something that you can point us to the narrow nations and i'm just wondering if you what what what it is i just said i wasn't going to give you the underline for story very good use let alone in many ways it's not because you're right i don't give you more information just saying that i think making the source not actually ask you a question you're i can't give you the source or method 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 you know you're making an allegation like that you're able to back it up with something more than just because i say so washington's accusations were picked up by many news outlets laying the blame for the crash directly at the russian president's door artie's going to church account has been monitoring the

media storm b.b.c. russian deleted an online report by their correspondent from eastern ukraine it was reported by all good who went to the site where you create intelligence says rebels fired a missile at the malaysian airlines plane which she took the photo showing the rising plume of smoke which the ukrainians intelligence service provided as evidence of where the missile was launched and the reporter identified at least two other potential sources for such a plume in the area including a coal mine nearby she also asked local us what they saw in the sky that day probably sitting up there were two explosions in the sky with their how the plane broke apart with pieces falling everywhere and they were seen as a military jet flying near everyone saw it yes everyone saw it flying the little oh the presenter plane looters were killed 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.b.c. . 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 the queen 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 our t.v. well what c.n.n. discussed as you 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 u two states 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 one when this one horrible operation frannie to atlanta 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 point to only 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 is the fight on the covers of major magazines and newspapers is personality is the main focus of media attention. this news week 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 russia what is it like your church and the downing of the malaysian airliner and global outrage grew try to appear pious photographed praying at an orthodox church the russian president continuing his drumbeat blaming ukraine and its western backers he is 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 the 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 shut down or to washington d.c. or britain's daily mirror tabloid newspaper even chose to focus on the russian president's family but was apparently left red faced after failing to do some fact checking his front page on friday claimed to show vladimir putin with his daughter

the story said that she had fled her home in the netherlands but the woman next to the russian leader turns out to have no connection to him she is in fact a lawyer who was working for russia's federal agency for youth affairs at the time the picture was taken and we asked her about the the photograph do because it was a nice sunny day the president was walking on my left so i remember that day with a photo was taken by chance in two thousand and eight someone posted it on the internet without checking the facts it's strange that now a media organization with such a big name has decided to use it. still to come here on out international israel and hamas trade ceasefire snowy posting in militant groups says it's ready for another day long humanitarian tree sold over israel's already restarted its bombardments after the previous agreement was breached to bring you the full story after this short break.

this is the media leave us so we leave the people. of the same motions to cure. all of your party visible. shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politics only on our t.v. . government system is to help poor people poor women but they're going to leak 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 can do it and beautiful still will show.

welcome back you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international the palestinian group hamas has declared a new cease fire after israel promised to resume its ground bombardments on gaza the previous u.n. brokered humanitarian truce and to do it a barrage of rockets were fired by hamas into israeli territory that no humanitarian ceasefire would be valid without israeli tanks with drawing billions is being able to freely move around gaza but israel still insists it won't finish its operation until it demolish the underground tunnel networks has more from jerusalem. and thus has declared

a twenty four hour cease fire they are appealing to the united nations to put pressure on israel to accept this truce the israeli cabinet will meet to discuss the latest developments it follows a unilateral cease fire that was declared at midnight saturday by the israelis they said that they were prepared to adhere to a station of hostilities over the next twenty four hours but they then growcott the cease fire citing hamas rocket fire as the reason they were there was of rockets fired from gaza at israel in the early hours of sunday morning several were intercepted over the same to the country and they have been sirens sounding both in the center and in the south of israel there was also an israeli soldier that was killed by a mortar shell not far from the israel gaza border that the israeli military fatalities to some forty three now one of this follows a cease fire that was opposite on saturday by both sides that ceasefire was

brokered humanitarian truce and it enabled aid workers to bring much needed emergency supplies into the gaza strip as you know hospitals there for example has practically run out of medicine it was also a chance for people inside gaza to return to their homes to. salvage what little they could to bury the dead and also to recover bodies we haven't yet had any official reaction from israel as to this ceasefire put forward by him us so we are waiting to hear what the israelis have to say but what they have said is that they believe that the number of rockets that have mass and islamic jihad have at their disposal has decreased dramatically because of this is lady operation and they also believe that the israelis will be forced to remain inside the gaza strip because they say militants in gaza will try to hold on to the remaining arsenal and extend the fighting in the gaza strip for quite some time so it doesn't look as if the feeling on the ground is if we're going to see a station of hostilities anytime soon. to discuss this further i'm joined

by maha professor of political science cigars university thanks for joining me professor. if you look go back to saturday has rejected the extension of the cease fire they were firing rockets that on sunday certainly seems a massive change his mind and is ready for a truce while getting this flip flopping and messy situation. well. it's basically trying to settle this why is that it's not only israel who decides who want to start a war i want to start humanitarian seas for with the gaza strip been extended for another four hours and this way it is decided yesterday to extend it for another twenty four hours without an equal saltation with hamas and the palestinians so basically how the us is trying to tell israel and the mediators that there is another party to this which is a most of the palestinians and they need to be consulted and second how this is

afraid that by the extension of the cease fire from from israel that that would mean that israel is basically trying to drive the palestinians to square one by based. please go into a ceasefire extending it without satisfying palestinian demands or without basically giving got on these that the siege of lucky they get is gone the will be lifted and that is the main concern for the palestinians here in gaza that any any ceasefire will have to make sure that the israeli siege and blockade against the girls us through it must be lifted completely. ok will do i may do as covered extensively disaffiliated deaths occurring in gaza now israel is blaming those on a mass do you think there's anything to that and their claims. well this is this is not acceptable at all as wade is basically saying that this

war is that acted towards other palestinian groups now what we have seen is that israel is basically targeting palestinian civilians targeting palestinian civilian infrastructure this is not a pinpoint operation as netanyahu claimed when this war erupted in a state of targeting hamas what we see is that more than two thirds of the palestinians who have been killed palestinian children women and elderly palestinian civilians who have nothing to do with us who have nothing to do with the launching of mrs against israel so basically israel is trying to punish the palestinian people to me to put pressure on the palestinians. to. stop launching missiles and to basically abide by a cease fire with israel without such a spying palestinian demands without satisfying palestinian suffering which is

lifting the siege again scott. ok. professor of political science at gaza university thanks for joining us. now israel says that incessant rocket fire from gaza during the trees caused it to breed launch its offensive. the israeli foreign ministry and he explained why his country isn't backing down. they say that all of it is 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 this evil machine with a killer strategy has been india 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 answered with quiet calm will be responded to with calm this message was rejected out of hand we'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 . at least sixteen civilians have been killed after the ukrainian army launched unguided grad rockets into populated areas in the rest of the stats according to human rights watch group says that the opposition controlled city of donetsk came under such missile attacks four times image ally group warns that the ground rocket

systems cannot carry out precise attacks and that they use in residential areas could be classified as a war crime human rights watch has appealed to both sides of the conflict to stop using this kind of weaponry as it puts more lives at risk one of the authors of the report says that the ukrainian military should not be getting away with killing innocent people. 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 proceedings to be injured and killed and that's what we saw in the petrofsky district that civilians were being killed by these kinds of rockets you 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 being 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 and the creating government should investigate and should immediately stop the use of these weapons in populated areas where kids army is continuing its crackdown on anti-government forces in the rest of east with urban areas being systematically caught and it's deadly fire we're getting reports from the opposition held city of goal of care where the latest out to the attack on the city center has reportedly killed at least ten civilians some reports suggest that the death toll could actually be higher here's what one local resident told us. we will walk on water there was a strike on the city most likely from grad rocket systems there is a very popular supermarket in the city center when the shell fell on to it there were a lot of customers there another fell in a residential yard in another near the city's maternity home causing all the

windows to blow out explosions could be heard all through the day starting from four in the morning they simply raising us to the ground. and in the ganske a bombardment day yesterday claimed the lives of nineteen people most of the two dozen damaged buildings were residential and a school and a kindergarten or also hit and this is the aftermath of one of the bloodiest scenes it's where a bus stop full of people came under fire this is how one of the witnesses described the six goes. wrong will drop the ball video of religious burden off the whole. look like they want you to favor. with you to perform for you before you can do this or the other. was probably before your brother or move to the other where you live the other level and you can hear what you want to get where you are it was a little bit of those do it. also this week more than forty ukrainian troops

abandoned their positions and crossed the border into russia some of them are reported gas for russian citizenship and the soldiers say they were fed up with waging war against their own people meanwhile those with injuries are now being treated in russian hospitals. to. get some more news from around the world now more than fifty people have been killed in heavy clashes across libya in the city of benghazi the clashes occurred between libyan special forces and islam is militants leaving many civilians dead. and in the capital tripoli dozens of egyptian workers have been killed when a rocket hit their home during clashes between rival militias battling over the city's main airport for the past two weeks libya has been facing a deteriorating security situation many embassies have recently suspended work and evacuated diplomats. i.

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.

hello and welcome to technology updates the world cups over but if you think you've seen the end of countries going head to head in the heat think again because we can check out the national teams looking for racing glory here in barcelona. but first glance the catalonian capital seems more touristy than tacky looks can be deceiving already home to the world's largest mobile tech conference.
