. a you tube video or something that you can point us to washington maintains that russia is a did a local militia in eastern ukraine and was involved in the crash but refuses to specify the source of its information. to a twenty four hour humanitarian cease fire after israel calls off its own truce resuming naval and ground attacks in retaliation to rockets fired from gaza. you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international. here is armies continuing its crackdown on anti-government forces in the restive east with urban areas being caught in its deadly fire and we are getting reports from the opposition held city of goal of the latest artillery

attack on the city center has reportedly killed at least ten civilians with some media suggesting that the death toll could be higher the following pictures contain some graphic images a family of three including a one year old child reportedly been killed and these unverified images may point to that burned bodies are scattered all across the city center with several buildings left in ruins here is what one local resident told us. 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 onto 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 is simply raising us to the ground. and in the ganz the latest bombardment has reportedly claimed at least six lives that saturday yesterday

shelling killed nineteen most of the two dozen damaged buildings were residential and a school and kindergarten also hit now this is the aftermath you can see here of one of the bloodiest scenes it's where a bus stop full of people came under fire and this is how one of the witnesses described what they saw. were all that off the ball video you just heard an awful. look ok what do you the favor. would be your top priority for you before you can do this over. for your brother or to the other where you move the other level and you can hear that what you want to get is what you heard was a little bit of that was do a lot of the rebels. now this week human rights watch are lashed out at the ukrainian army for using unguarded ground rockets in populated areas in the restive east the group says that the opposition controlled city of donetsk came under such missile attacks four times in mid july the group warms the ground rocket systems

cannot carry out precise attacks 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 more lives of perth at risk and one of the authors of the report says that the ukrainian military should not get 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 proceeding. and killed and that's the story 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 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 a 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 ground weapons were the use of at least the use of reverence and partly . because it's quite clear and the cream government should investigate into

the stop the use of these weapons in part of the derrius also this week more than forty ukrainian troops abandon their positions and cross the border into russia some of them reportedly asked for russian citizenship the soldiers say that they are fed up with waging war against their own people and meanwhile those with injuries are now being treated in russian hospitals. the ukrainian military has also launched attacks on local militia near the malaysian plane crash site of the fighting is preventing international teams from reaching the scene the army is believed to be storming the town of taras which is you can see on our map here is located 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. team of australian and dutch police and experts as well as european security monitors are staying in the regional capital done yet unable to reach the site of the crash

earlier local militia agreed for an international police presence at the scene 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. security situation at the moment on the way to the site to be planned 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't control the response of the green bay area confident that we have it at the level where it is acceptable. and the netherlands from where the ill fated make seventeen fly departed was hit the hardest 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 a citizen a team of two hundred forensic experts say it could take months for all the victims

to be identified to speak 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 wouldn't a whole city so everybody knows someone here has been coming you know for years so you're quite shocked restaurant owners before jenny died in the crash along with these laws mother and sweet for only this 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. works in the restaurant also. hope he can manage to. go on like you spend it. outside the asian gorge restaurant floral tributes iowa 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 returned so 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 party rotterdam. an australian couple who lost their daughter in the mh seventeen crash become the first family to visit the site of the tragedy they insisted on being driven to the crash scene despite warnings of combat in the area the twenty five year old daughter fastener was an aerospace engineering student and had hoped to become a pilot the first thing then be very hard to see said how we should survive she said how do we survive it we promise our we have promised our daughter we will come here but it actually is soon as possible does the time factor 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 mh seventeen flight was shot down by a missile russia's defense minister has presented its information on the crash publishing satellite images and radar tracking data from that day first take a look at what was gathered 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 ukrainian military jet however kiev claims that all of its planes were on the ground at that time also satellite images show a ukrainian rocket launching system in that 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 police to really come into on

poor civil causes for the disaster with more still via cormorants based on my two year old from source show media the us says that the malaysian airliner was downed by a surface to air missile launched from the territory controlled by local militia it's also blaming russia for aiding and to care for says washington is yet to reveal the evidence it claims to have and it's been coming under increasing pressure from some media outlets over its mounting accusations towards moscow i would like to know what you're basing there's new evidence that the russians and to understand. over your equipment these thousand mentality think their mission i can't get into sources and methods that hind it but i was able to be able to tell you that is there a you tube video or something that you can point us to that in your engine and i'm just wondering if you what what what if you take it that it wasn't going to give you the end force or it really did you slightly. but you are sure you don't give

you more information just say no i think the source not actually asked you a question here i can't give you the source or method would you prefer i not give you the information. that it would be best for all concerned here in the other question you when you make 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 auntie's gun each account has been monitoring the media storm. the media coverage in the west has been largely slanted against russia public opinion of course response to that kind of coverage of accent i meant is that russia is probably involved and if involved they're probably going to cover it up that's where the public sentiment is in the c.n.n. poll the american people got it right in terms of who's to blame here folks fifty one percent said russia's and directly involved but only the stakes are high

whoever shoulders the blame for this atrocity is going to be the target of global anger and right now it looks like it's russia's fault because. it's russia's fault . it's quite clearly the latest twist in this propaganda war the russians through their ambassador here in kuala lumpur presenting their version of events to the malaysian media there's also been attempts to discredit russian sources of information c.n.n. put out a breakdown of what it called russia's propaganda the first item on the list is this it says the russian take passengers were already dead when put aboard the m h seventeen but when you follow the link on this page it has an article in russian which reviews all the apparently quote unquote fake fur germans and conspiracy theories that are out there that's what the article says specifically about the theory that the bodies were dead before the crash it says literally then there is information which is simply impossible to believe c.n.n. presents it and calls it the russian take it is not the russian take in the same

breakdown right after this dead bodies theory c.n.n. puts russian defense officials showing evidence that ukraine had the capability to shoot down the plane moscow is now saying ukraine did it showing evidence that it had the capability to do it contrary to what kiev is now saying that claim is brushed off as top again that information is now politically charged on all airwaves it seems many journalists have already handed down their verdict in washington i'm going to check on our to. do stay with us still to come this hour on three israel and hamas trade ceasefire palestinian militant group says it's ready for another day long humanitarian truce but reports say that it's still poised to use rockets israel's already restarted its bombardments after the previous agreement was reached i'll bring you all the details on the story after this short break.

as the media leave us or we leave maybe. i will see motions. surely all your party has a goal. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . government system is to help poor people poor women but they 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 misusing. the time the whole thing and to launch a condition and get opals to move. about

you watching the weekly here on r.t. true surface between them us and israel seem to be falling apart with both sides failing to reach an agreement and continuing to trade accusations the previous un brokered humanitarian truce ended when a barrel of rockets were fired by hamas into israeli territory amassed and said that no humanitarian ceasefire would be valid without israeli tanks withdrawing is being able to freely move around gaza but israel still insists that it won't finish its operation until it's demolished the underground tunnel networks bullishly has more now from jerusalem. a mass 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 say that they were prepared to adhere to a station of hostilities over the next twenty four hours but they then broke the cease fire citing hamas rocket fire as the reason they were barrages of rockets fired from gaza at israel in the early hours of sunday morning several were intercepted over the center of 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 all of this follows a cease fire that was opposite on saturday by both sides that ceasefire was a u.n. 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 have practically run out of medicine it was also a chance for people inside gaza to return to their homes to try and salvage what little they could to bury the dead and. also to recover bodies we haven't had any official reaction from israel as to this latest ceasefire put forward by him nuts so we all waiting to hear what the israelis have to say but what they have stated is that they believe that the number of rockets that hamas 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 austin though and extend the fighting in the gaza strip for quite some time so it certainly doesn't look as if he even on the ground as if we're going to see a cessation of hostilities anytime soon. all correspondence and is a video taken from the very heart of one of the worst hit areas in the strip just

be warned though it contains some graphic images now here's 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 an israeli government gun fire and one appears to be searching for cover when a bullet hits him while he stretched out on the ground we talked to an eyewitness of that is that. with respect to the day that 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 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 air we're going to do we want to do is find is that resulted in his death there was supposed to be a cease fire as well however as we said into the video there was bombing nearby there was shelling nearby and snipers shooting is. meanwhile israel says incessant rocket fire from gaza during the truce caused it to relaunch is offensive my colleague paul scott spoke to paul hershon a spokesman at the israeli foreign ministry explained why his country isn't backing down 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 machine with a killer strategy. is perpetrating war crime off to war crime off the war crime and that's what we're going to discover you say that is. rarely 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. missing in action held at gunpoint and deported it all happened this week to u.k. journalist and r.t. contributor graham phillips he was detained in ukraine by security forces held in captivity for three days and then kicked out and barred from the country for three years he told us what else he had to go through 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 position that 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 and 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'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 that they've stripped all the passwords basically be attacked and despite you 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 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. another time when phillips were missing ukraine security forces said they had no information regarding his whereabouts they were also adamant that the military does not detain

reporters and that on the contrary it worked to create safe conditions for them but here's what they spokesman of ukraine security services had to say. i know it's been taken hostage there's no information orders were boats were there is a bounty on his heard the ukrainian military don't journalists. but later kiev admitted to detaining and interrogating graham and he told us that his life was threatened here's what he claimed was part of a conversation he had with a ukrainian security officer so yes because our little design blew. out into this area that you wouldn't what do. you really don't know real. them or just because i thought they wanted you to just give up if you put in the for you thirdly new guy that you could. do you think going into what you think you

did you. would be what. can. i still do need to continue doing what is needed is little enough for me to. have a geishas were also recorded on video a part of which surfaced in ukrainian media after grain was released from your freelance journalist. so is this the globe or you. can always see it. with a little more simply do it is honestly something good of you know kind of all to do gastric. visited it's a bit to look at how to sit in this newsgroup what freelance critics think. i want you to. be in the. you see with your shitty as you see it today see more civility objectively i see civility used to be a small truth it's mostly to mickey to objectively could be pretty useful to

professor tribe thank you very much for being here thanks for having me on the program now one of the main arguments in your latest book is that what has been the use through all of russia's history as an instrument of social control reach is not really a controversial statement in and of itself because i think most governments concerned with their well being of their citizens have exercised some sort of social control but what you seem to be arguing is quite the opposite that successive russian governments have intentionally encourage alcoholism as a way of filling state coffers am i reading you right yeah that's one element of this. call revenues or a central part of russian state craft going back hundreds and hundreds of years well but i think if we go back a couple of a couple of hundred years let's say one thousand so even eighteenth century many states throughout the world used. to hold revenues to fill up their coffee.
